Hawaiian Airlines And Virgin Blue Make Hawaii Travel Easier From All Of Aaustralia28/11/2006
Travel to Hawaii from throughout Australia will be much easier from today, when Hawaiian Airlines and Virgin Blue activate a new interline agreement.
The arrangement will enable travel agents to issue a single ticket for travel on both airlines, from anywhere in the Virgin Blue network to anywhere in the Hawaiian Airlines network.
It will also enable Hawaii-bound passengers around Australia to check their luggage all the way to Honolulu when they check in for their Virgin Blue connecting flight.
And on arrival in Sydney, passengers transferring from Virgin Blue to Hawaiian will be entitled to a free airside bus transfer between domestic terminal T2 and the international terminal. Details will be provided in a special transfer wallet which each passenger will receive.
Hawaiian Airlines operates three evening flights per week from Sydney to Honolulu, with onward services to the neighbour islands of Kauai, Maui and The Big Island of Hawaii. The Sydney flights also connect in Honolulu with onward services to nine destinations on the US mainland - Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
"We're delighted with this agreement, which will make a journey from Australia to Hawaii so much easier," said Mark Dunkerley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hawaiian Airlines.
"Our interline deal with Virgin Blue eliminates the need for connecting passengers to lug their baggage from the domestic terminal to the international terminal and recheck it for the flight to Hawaii," he said. "Now, passengers just need to obtain a boarding pass and seat allocation at the international terminal in Sydney, then proceed to their flight. Not only is this more convenient - it also makes for a much more relaxing start to a holiday in Hawaii."
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said the interline agreement with Hawaiian was yet another initiative in which Virgin Blue was able to offer convenience to its customers.
"Our interline agreement with Hawaiian Airlines brings Hawaii a big step closer for many Australians, by making the journey easy from anywhere in our network," said Mr Godfrey. "It also highlights the size of our network, the frequency of our flights and our ongoing commitment to add value for our Guests. Hawaiian Airlines is also a partner in our award-winning loyalty programme, Velocity, enabling Virgin Blue Guests to earn or redeem points on Hawaiian Airlines flights to Honolulu, and beyond to the islands and the US West Coast."

Constable was familiar with working life in the country, and he had a particular interest in farm equipment. As a young man he had spent several years working in his father's milling business, where he learnt the practical aspects of rural life. This drawing of a cart and two horses with a carter and a dog is one of a number of oil sketches he painted of specific details of farming life – details he later used in his exhibition pictures. He probably painted this sketch in September or October 1814, as a related oil sketch of the cart and two horses (Victoria and Albert Museum, London) is dated 24 October 1814.
He referred to this particular oil sketch when painting the cart and horses and dog at the manure heap in The Stour Valley and Dedham Church c.1815(Boston Museum of Fine Arts), which he showed at the Royal Academy in 1815.

Johnny Lindquist of Castle Dale was recently involved in a Border War between Colorado and Utah and he helped his teammates take control. The Border War was held Oct. 16-17 at the Grand Junction Motor Speedway between the best superkart racers in Utah and those in Colorado.
Prior to the race, the officials settled on the race rules and the competition was on. The Border War trophy would be handed to the winners of the most points to be determined by the fastest qualifier, heat time, and main event winner in three separate classes. These classes are TAG Cadet, TAG Senior, and S2. A total of nine points was up for grabs in the two day race.
When the competition began in earnest on Sunday, Colorado driver Tate Holloran drove away with the first point of the race. Utah's Austin Versteeg took the first point for Utah by crossing the line first in the heat race, then collected Utah's second point in the main event.
Then came the TAG Senior race between Lindquist and Colorado's Sabre Cook. With the first point going to Cook, Lindquist then roared into action and he won the next two points in the heat and main event, putting Utah up four-two.
The final three points of the race would determine where the Border War trophy would reside for the upcoming year. Colorado drivers took the first two points to make the score four-four. The final main event race of the day held the location of the trophy. Utah's Keenan Schmitke raced hard to come away with the main event point and clinch the first annual Border War for Utah.

The Northern Virginia PH Support Group met in the fall after a brief hiatus when their long-time leader, Ellen Harris, moved out of state. The new group met in co-leader Betsie Miklos's office to enjoy lunch and a talk by Debbie Castro, PHA's Volunteer Services Director. This was the first time several patients met others with PH, and conversations were emotional and uplifting.

July 21 marked the anniversary of one of America's great triumphs. Forty-five years earlier, the eyes of a nation were transfixed to their black and white TV sets to watch history unfold as an American astronaut stepped foot on the grey lunar soil. Neil Armstrong became the first man to stand on ground not of this Earth.
For several years now I have written this same column – and I'm going to keep writing it until we, as a state, stop abusing our children.
Because we do, in fact, abuse our children. And we have been doing it for a long time.
Compassion is feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others; uninformed means not having or showing awareness or understanding of the facts and ignorant equates to lacking knowledge, information or awareness about something in particular.
These three words are at the heart of the immigration debate. People scream compassion for immigrants and reveal their status of being uniformed and ignorant of the issue. America is not the pot of gold or Land of Oz where the wizard grants all wishes.
The Bible declares that one of God's attributes is his unchangeableness.
He described himself to Moses as the "I am," meaning he is eternally the same. In the book of Malachi, God declared "I am the Lord, I change not." In the Psalms, it is declared that the earth and the heavens, which God created, shall someday perish like an old garment, but God will endure: "Thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end" (Psalm 102:27).
What a shocking headline, but our Attorney General Alan Wilson says it's true – and he's right. Slavery today is not black folks standing on the auction block in the city square. Its modern day equivalent is called "human trafficking" – for the sex trade, enforced labor and especially exploitation of children.
Lancaster County Council asked us for help in deciding whether to keep the extra 1 cent sales tax and, if so, how to spend it. Wonderful idea and we did just that. Then they chose to turn all this information over to the tax commissioners to sift through and make a recommendation. That was great. Things were moving along smoothly.
For the second time in a month, the S.C. Supreme Court has ruled against openness and punted important issues back to the Legislature for change.
On July 16, the court ruled that autopsy records are exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act because they are medical records.
Why does this matter to the public?
It matters because the next time police shoot an innocent man, don't expect the public to have access to the autopsy report giving the details of the death.
In last month's column, I talked about the county budget process. The budget was given final approval upon third reading of the budget ordinance June 23 by a unanimous vote of Lancaster County Council.
This month's column will highlight what was in the budget and discuss some of the items that were not in the budget.
I'd like to discuss some issues that are causing new businesses not to want to locate here. Lancaster is having trouble producing enough skilled workers to fill needs of prospective businesses and companies. I'm talking welders, HVAC technicians, machine operators, etc.
So, what are some answers that will address this problem?
South Carolina's motto, "While I breathe I hope," is surely the most optimistic statement anyone can make. Despite all, if we can draw a breath, we are hopeful and optimistic.

Proactive Evacuation Assistance
After the events of 9/11, the facilities management community has actively begun to examine the issue of "accessible egress" for persons with disabilities from multi-story buildings.
The specification of new emergency evacuation assistance equipment has come hand-in-hand with revising existing emergency management and evacuation plans. Building managers have installed more two-way communication systems, added alarms, and purchased devices that easily transport people up or down stairs in the case of emergency.
Traditionally, people with disabilities that prevented them from making their way up and down emergency stairwells during an evacuation had to go to a designated "area of refuge" to wait for assistance from rescue personnel.
With the advent of emergency evacuation chairs, it has become feasible to assist permanently disabled individuals, as well as those who are elderly, pregnant, severely injured, or mentally or physically distressed, and help them down stairs during an evacuation. There are several different kinds of chairs on the market that function in different ways, but each has the same goal.
It's key to have enough of these chairs in a building and also to know how to use them before an incident occurs, says Chris Way, marketing manager at Kalamazoo, MI-based Stryker EMS, a manufacturer of evacuation chairs.
"We recommend purchasing one chair per known disabled person per floor. This way, everyone is covered up front," he says. "We also recommend a chair for up to two percent of the workforce or tenant base. That's in addition to the chairs for known disabled. Accessibility to an evacuation chair would be critical in saving lives in any multi-level building during an emergency."
At The Access Board in Washington, D.C., the government agency that oversees development of ADA design guidelines and compliance, emergency planners decided to purchase 10 evacuation chairs. The agency is on the 10th floor of a high-rise building; six workers use wheelchairs. Plus, many disabled visitors pass through its doors each week.
"We made the determination to order more than needed for our staff based on our board membership and visitorship," says Peg Blechman, an Access Board compliance specialist.
Once you purchase the chairs, the next consideration is where you are going to store them, Way says. They need to be in a convenient place, preferably out in the open near the emergency exits or near a disabled employee's workspace. Piling them in an out-of-the way storage room is not the answer. Some chairs on the market come with wall storage brackets and covers, like Stryker's version. Others have their own storage lockers.
Training staff members on how to use these chairs is a must, Blechman says. "They are not intuitive," she says. "You can't learn as you go in an emergency."
The Stryker EMS chair, for example, has printed icons of instructions for use on the seat back. The company also provides a training video to those who purchase the chairs.
Like Blechman, Stryker's Way suggests that chair owners "get hands-on use of the device in a non-emergency situation.
"We suggest folks do that as part of their normal fire drill protocol," he says. "We at Stryker do two fire drills a year and are in the process of incorporating evacuation chair training. Teaching people to use these products isn't as easy as it appears; it seems to go against human nature to roll someone down the stairs."
The United States has a large disabled population. The U.S. Census Bureau reports 54 million Americans, about one-fifth of the U.S. population, have a disability of some kind.
A National Organization on Disability (NOD)/Harris Poll survey commissioned in November 2001 discovered that 50 percent of people with disabilities said that no plans had been made to safely evacuate their workplaces. The survey also found that people with disabilities were far more anxious about their personal safety.
Don't create a separate accessible egress plan. Instead, incorporate provisions into your general emergency management plan, says Elizabeth Davis, director of the Emergency Preparedness Initiative at the Washington, D.C.-based NOD.
Davis, an emergency management and special needs consultant who works out of an office in New York City, has extensive experience in both disability policy and emergency management work. She has seen both good and bad emergency plans that address the needs of the disabled in action.
"The disability community itself is not a homogenous group," she notes. "It's one of the pitfalls. Organizations and entities recognize they want to do the right thing and put into place emergency plans that address people with disabilities. But, they lump all needs into one plan or put only a few elements into place and feel they have met everyone's unique disaster needs."
It's not that easy, experts say. Just ask the folks at The Access Board, a Washington, D.C.-based federal agency devoted to accessibility for people with disabilities. The Board develops and maintains accessibility requirements for the built environment, transit vehicles, telecommunications equipment, and for electronic and information technology under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); provides technical assistance and training on these guidelines and standards; and enforces accessibility standards for federally funded facilities.
Disability Agency Creates Own Plan
In its 10th floor offices, two blocks from the White House, The Access Board's offices house 28 full-time employees. Six of those employees use wheelchairs. Four individuals are blind or visually impaired. Two employees use service animals.
Additionally, the agency's governing board meets at the offices every other month. A number of those board members use wheelchairs. As an advocacy agency for the disabled, The Access Board also has many disabled visitors passing through its doors each week.
"Evacuation planning is a critical component of life safety, including [evacuation] for persons with disabilities," says Dave Yanchulis, an Access Board accessibility specialist. "This is true for all buildings, including those that are new and fully accessible."
When it came time to develop an emergency management plan, the staff realized they had to tailor it to potential visitors, its location, and the fact that it is a government agency. In the event of a disaster of the magnitude of what occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, The Access Board offices would surely be evacuated, says Peg Blechman, a compliance specialist at The Access Board.
The Access Board's plan, which is available on the organization's website (www.accessboard.gov/evacuation.htm), is tailored specifically to the Board and its needs in various disaster scenarios.
A small volunteer emergency evacuation committee first developed the plan after discussing evacuation issues with the staff at large and with individual employees with disabilities, whom they queried about preferences for evacuation.
"Remember, not all disabilities are visible," Davis points out. "There are individuals who have different types of disabilities, such as asthma or a heart condition, and might not choose to identify that to an employer. In one high-rise office building, you might have those with visible disabilities and those with invisible ones, those with permanent ones and those with temporary or episodic needs. You will have people who will choose to identify and those who will choose not to. It's more complex than saying 'We met our ADA standards of having the bathrooms accessible and making sure the stairwell is wide enough for someone in a wheelchair to wait for evacuation assistance.' "
The committee then met with the building management, local fire department personnel, and a manufacturer of evacuation chairs, as well as other agencies and groups that have active evacuation plans involving persons with disabilities.
The final plan covers such things as use of evacuation chairs, 10 of which The Access Board purchased; building characteristics such as stairwell size and fire alarm/extinguisher location; designated meeting locations for employees once they evacuate a building; types of alarms and elevator use; emergency contact information; information regarding workforce and any special needs; and training and practice, among other facets.
The committee decided to post its plan online after numerous other federal agencies and other organizations requested copies of the plan for their own inspiration.
"People should not use our plan as a script," Blechman says. "We developed it for our staff, our building, and our location. But, people can see how and why we developed it. It is a combination of what can be done to the building itself and also what types of equipment we can use for our needs."
Codes and Standards Play a Role, Too
Besides taking into account the personal needs of tenants and staff when you develop your emergency evacuation plan, you also have to make sure you cover all points required by the ADA.
While there may be greater interest in accessible evacuation as a result of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the design requirements for accessible egress are not new, Yanchulis says.
The Board's ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), which were published in 1991, include specifications for accessible means of egress, areas of rescue assistance, emergency alarms, and signage. ADAAG primarily covers new construction and alteration of facilities subject to the ADA (title III). Model building codes, life safety codes, and state access codes also address these and other elements related to emergency egress, Yanchulis notes.
"Owners or operators of existing facilities can consult ADAAG for design features (www.accessboard.gov/evac.htm covering accessible egress," he says. "They can use ADAAG as a reference for determining whether, or to what extent, accessible means of egress are available at a facility. Also, alarms, signage, and areas of rescue assistance are important components of accessible egress, as covered in ADAAG."
Getting Started with Your Own Accessible Egress Plan
Forethought and advance planning are key to putting together an emergency evacuation plan that works, emergency management and accessibility experts say. You don't want to be developing a plan on the fly in the midst of disaster.
"You want to do this when you have the luxury of time. You want to have time to discover mistakes and go back and correct them," Davis says. "While you hope you won't have to implement any of this at all, you don't want to find solutions during an event."
In a commercial building with multiple tenants, the building management safety officer should create an emergency planning team of representatives from each tenant organization's emergency team. Once that team is in place, start discussing each tenant's disability-related issues.
The concept of a voluntary special needs registry is one of the stickiest issues that building managers deal with, Davis adds. In order to craft an evacuation plan that suits everyone's specific requirements, employees and tenants with disabilities would have to identify their needs to building management.
"Can you require that?" Davis asks, adding that facilities managers need to consult their legal counsel with respect to that issue. "It's an emerging area, and it still is being debated. You have competing interests: the individual right to privacy vs. a need for safety. The question is, 'How much can you require vs. how much can you ask for voluntarily?' "
Although no perfect plan is prewritten for every commercial facility, NOD developed the Emergency Preparedness Initiative Guide for Emergency Managers (www.nod.org/content.cfm?id=1328) under Davis' direction. While this comprehensive guide is designed to ensure that emergency managers at the jurisdiction level (city, state, county, etc.) address disability concerns and that people with disabilities are included in the emergency planning process, parts of it can be useful to building owners and operators, Davis says.
"There is no single 'plan in a can' for any of this," Davis says. "If any building manager thinks he or she can keep searching the Internet or publications for the perfect manual and think they've found it, they're kidding themselves. You can't just erase the name off the top of someone else's plan and replace it with your own. It's a recipe for disaster."
Robin Suttell, based in Cleveland, is contributing editor at Buildings magazine.
ADA Design Requirements for Accessible Egress
Accessible Means of Egress
The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines' (ADAAG's) criteria addresses both the minimum number of egress routes and the technical specifications, including the typical loss of use of elevators in multi-story buildings during emergencies. This situation is addressed through requirements for areas of rescue assistance or horizontal exits.
Areas of Rescue Assistance
This section describes the criteria for fire-resistant spaces where persons unable to use stairs can call for and await evacuation assistance from emergency personnel. These "areas of rescue assistance" or "areas of refuge" must meet specifications for fire resistance and ventilation and must include two-way communication devices. These areas are required only in new buildings.
Evacuation Elevators
Model building codes, such as the International Building Code, and reference standards now include criteria for elevators designed to remain functional in emergencies, otherwise known as "evacuation elevators." The Access Board has included requirements for these elevators, consistent with model building codes, in its proposal to update ADAAG.
Emergency alarms must be accessible to persons with disabilities, including those with sensory impairments. Alarms should offer not only audible signals, but also visual ones, such as strobes, for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Guidelines include specifications for intensity, flash rate, mounting location, and other characteristics. Visual alarms are required in hallways, lobbies, restrooms, and any other general usage and common use areas.
Certain types of signs must be tactile. Raised and Braille characters are required on signs that designate permanent spaces, including restrooms, exits, and rooms and floors designated by numbers or letters. This includes floor-level designations provided in stairwells.

Red Deer's Dallas Soonias leads Spanish
January 20, 2010
TOURS, France – Canadian national volleyball team member Dallas Soonias of Red Deer (Alberta) scored 21 points in a brilliant performance to lead Almeria, Spain to a thrilling five-set victory over Tours, France in the League of Champions action.
The Spanish squad won the match 25-21, 25-12, 16-25, 22-25, 15-13 in 111 minutes. Soonias posted 17 kills and earned four more points on blocks. He ended the first round as the top scorer on his team and is 17th overall averaging 4.21 points per set.
Wednesday's matches concluded first round play in the 24-team tournament to determine the top pro club in Europe. The top-two teams from each of the six pools gain an automatic berth in the second round.
Soonias wasn't the only Canadian on the floor in the match. Joshua Howatson of Victoria scored four points for the victors and delivered a sparkling service game. National team teammate Alexandre Gaumont-Casias of Marieville, Que., was once again one of Tours best players with 10 points.
Tours is currently first in the French National League.
After opening the tournament with three consecutive losses, Almeria finishes with a 2-4 record in pool B. Tours had the same record but was awarded third spot in the tie-breaking procedure. Russian pro squad Kazan, at 5-1, and Sofia, Bulgaria at 3-3 were the top-two teams in the pool. The draw for the second round will be held later this week in Luxembourg.
Meanwhile Canadian Daniel Lewis is assuredly headed to the second round with Bled, Slovenia as it placed second in the pool F standings despite a 25-17, 16-25, 25-20, 25-18 loss to Rzeszow, Poland. Bled evened its record at 3-3, good enough for second place.

OEM on my 2011 Miata. A wonderful tire for this rear-wheel drive car. Dry weather performance in the mountains of Pennsylvania and curves and switchbacks in the western states is superb and astounding (Mountain View Road - near Manchester California and Naciamento-Ferguson highway California - please drive these roads!!). These tires are champs. Drove a very long hard rain in mountainous roads west of Tyrone Pennsylvania and I was totally surprised with the lack of skidding. Got 30,000 miles to the wear bars. Very happy. Colder (under 50F) the grip feels different. Snow...slip and slide...careful!!

iPhone: a media giant evolves
For Groupe M6, innovation and new technology are its lifeblood. The multimedia group is a powerhouse of creative content and services. That includes its flagship M6 broadcast TV channel, its digital channels as well as its film production, book and music publishing, e-commerce, games and pay-per-view video divisions.
To stay ahead, M6 relies on iPhone. "A part of the office and information system is always there, in the palm of your hand, which gives you a much more modern and cutting-edge relationship to information and to the business itself," says Christophe Foglio, CTO at Groupe M6.
A new relationship
"This is the tool that allows our employees to share and communicate in a revolutionary new way," he says.
Deciding to move to iPhone was easy. "When the iPhone arrived on the market, we understood right away that it is a business tool," recalls Foglio. "We used to have a plethora of devices and phones of different brands. iPhone replaced them all."
In so many ways, iPhone lends itself to the world of enterprise, says Foglio. He notes its ability to synchronize with Outlook and its integrated security including the ability to authenticate. Sensitive data can even be wiped over the air remotely if the iPhone is misplaced or stolen.
At M6, each iPhone is fully integrated into the company information system, including the phone directory. Employees can also only access confidential information with a security certificate specific to their own iPhone. All users have iTunes to install M6's internal in-house applications.
Essential in-house apps
M6 developed four internal apps rapidly, on average within a couple of months each. Working prototypes took just 10 days, recalls Laurent Codaccioni, Head of IT Architecture. Since security is paramount, information available through the apps is never stored on the iPhones, but is kept in temporary files.
The e-Report app gives immediate technical feedback to engineers on all of the broadcasts. e-News provides instant news updates to journalists and technicians. e-TDB allows users to view company income and other financial data. Audience gives access to daily viewership ratings as soon as they are released.
M6's apps have become essential. Before the arrival of iPhone and e-Reports, a technical hitch with one of the channels was harder to evaluate rapidly. Trouble-shooters had to view the problem on another parallel antenna, or have the problem described over the phone.
"Today, with e-Reports, we have access directly from our iPhone to the incidents and therefore to the videos of the incidents, which is a considerable gain," says Foglio. "We have millions of viewers who are watching our programs. We must react very quickly when there is a problem."
The Audience app is equally efficient. Viewership ratings are available immediately and in a customized and intuitive format. In the days before Audience, top managers would receive the data in a PDF designed and distributed by the ratings agency.
Another plus is that support for iPhone and the apps is minimal. M6's IT department receives almost zero calls for help from company users. "The apps are very stable. No news is good news," comments Foglio.
Working with iPhone has been evolutionary. "iPhone's really a working tool that allows us to move quickly and work better in a natural way," states Thomas Valentin, Deputy chairman of the Executive board. "Nowadays, we cannot be stuck inside M6, out of touch with the reality of consumption and the attitude of viewers, particularly that of young people."
In addition to streamlining the work day, iPhone is improving content delivery to M6's audience, many of whom are younger adults. For example, M6 offers its programs for iPhone. "Nowadays, we have to offer our programs anywhere, anytime," continues Valentin. "That includes on the most mobile of media."
In fact iPhone has become so crucial, Foglio says the relationship with M6 must continue. "iPhone's an advance in technology that we could never take away from our colleagues," he states. "iPhone is simply changing the way we do business."

"It's in our DNA to be at the forefront of technology — with iPhone we are ahead of the game."
Thomas Valentin, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board, Groupe M6
"We are completely in another dimension — we have a different relationship with information because of iPhone."
Christophe Foglio, CTO, Groupe M6
"We used to have a plethora of different devices and phones of different brands. When iPhone arrived, it was clear that it was going to replace them all."
Christophe Foglio, CTO, Groupe M6
"At M6, we have really pushed the technology towards what is best and most innovative. And with iPhone applications, there is no limit to that innovation."

Global action needed to conserve Arctic biodiversity
Nagoya, 27 October 2010 - The Arctic is experiencing some of the most rapid environmental changes on the planet. Whilst this presents enormous challenges for conserving biodiversity, it also offers opportunities for enhancing cooperation between nations and reforming environmental governance to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, according to a new report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
The Arctic contribution to global biodiversity is significant. Hundreds of migrating species (including 279 species of birds and the grey and humpback whales) travel long distances each year in order to take advantage of productive Arctic summers.
However, evidence of warming in the Arctic is mounting year on year - with serious consequences for biodiversity. This year is no exception. One well-publicised impact of warming is the loss of habitat for species dependent on sea ice, such as polar bears.
But this is only one change. Across the Arctic, many habitats that are considered critical for biodiversity, such as the tundra, have been disappearing over the last few decades.
Launched to coincide with the 10th Meeting of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan, the report, entitled Protecting Arctic Biodiversity: Strengths and limitations of environmental agreements, was researched by UNEP's Polar Centre GRID-Arendal in Norway. The report underlines that although tried and tested solutions to the current biodiversity crisis in the Arctic exist in the region itself, important conservation gains will only be won if root causes originating outside the Arctic region are addressed.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "We are currently witnessing unprecedented change in the Arctic, which will have important and far-reaching consequences not only for the region itself, but for the rest of the world."

A major objective in the post-genomic era is to assign detailed molecular function to the large number of protein coding genes.
For example, Arabidopsis contains over 2,000 transcription factors and transcriptional regulators (TF's), most of which are uncharacterized.
Recently, protein microarrays have emerged as a complementary approach to study protein function for organisms including Arabidopsis, yeast and human.
We report the development of a novel high-affinity capture technique for the fabrication of in situ synthesized NAPPA protein microarrays representing over 12,000 Arabidopsis ORFs, and demonstrate its utility by mapping the protein:protein interaction network of 38 Arabidopsis transcription factors.

"I actually purchased these for my 81 year old mother, after she tried my pair on. The cushiony sole and the ability to slightly adjust the strap for wider or narrow allow the wearer to customize the fit of these sandals to a T. I'm always pleased with Clarks comfort and quality, though their regular shoes don't always fit my slightly narrow foot. When I called my Mom to see if she had received them, she said that she received them that morning and wore them all day. She said the cushioned sole made her knees feel better. All of the colors in this style are true and attractive. A summer go to for sure!!"

DA says news photos show Chris Brown at charity event during claimed trash pickup work
Posted Feb 06, 2013 08:30 pm CST
Did singer Chris Brown complete the 180 days of community service required by his sentence for a 2009 assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna?
The star has submitted documentation showing that he did. But, contending that the documentation is sloppy at best and alleging unrelated "potential" violations of his probation on multiple occasions, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office is seeking to find him in violation of his probation and have a judge order a community service do-over, according to the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone.
A motion to modify his probation alleges, among other claims, that Brown was photographed at a Washington, D.C., charity event at the same time that he was purportedly picking up trash in Richmond, Va., 100 miles away, where police had agreed to oversee his community service work.
An earlier Associated Press article says the DA's office is seeking to revoke Brown's probation, while the LA Times offers a conflicting account which states that the DA's office is not seeking to have the judge declare Brown in violation of his probation.
The motion, however, says at the outset that the DA's office is asking the judge to find that Brown is in violation of his probation terms. But, rather than asking for Brown's probation to be revoked, prosecutors are simply seeking a court order to modify it and require him to complete 180 days of community service in the Los Angeles area.
Attorney Mark Geragos, who is representing Brown, blasted back when contacted by the L.A. Now blog of the Times.
"Apparently the district attorney's office has completely lost their minds," he told the newspaper. "They are making scurrilous, libelous and defamatory statements and apparently have lost their ability to read their own reports."
He also called the motion "a disgrace" and an embarrassment to the DA's office and said he plans to seek sanctions, the Times reported.
A court hearing is scheduled at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, a Salon article notes.

Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: Nice string. Used it to replace Tourna Big Hitter Rough and found it plays similar. Easy to string,
seems to hold tension well. Durability is solid so far after 10 hours of play. No evidence of notching with full bed setup. Has
good feel, control is solid, power is acceptable and good spin response.
From: RW, 9/14
Comments: I tried these strings based on the reviews in the TT section. I am not impressed with this string at all.
Not that great of feel or touch with it. I used it as a cross and they broke after about one hour. I tried it again just to make sure it
wasn't just a fluke. Same results with playability. Not impressed at all. I liked the blue color though.
From: Mike, 6/14
Comments: These strings have more touch/feel than Babolat Pro Hurricane and RPM combined by far. Wrist and
power problems were non-existent. Also, when strung with care, these strings are the best strings I have ever played with,
especially in 18g.
From: Colin. 7/11
NTRP Rating: 4.5
Comments: I've only used it once, but it seems to break too easily! I strung this on a Wilson K-Factor racquet at 60
lb tension for a 13 year old boy. This string broke during his middle school tennis match the first week he used it. (Used Isospeed
Baseline Speed on the subsequent string job for this player - he likes it much better.)
From: Jeff, Villa Rica, GA, USA. 04/10
Comments: Bought the (msv focus evo 17g), strung @ 50lbs. It broke w/in fifteen minutes. Don't buy msv focus evo
17g, not worh it.
From: Anon. WA, USA. 08/09
Comments: First time using a poly. I got to say: They are not for me. First the good: MSV strings are highly
recommended on various message boards and stringing sites. These particular MSV strings are very soft and do pocket the ball;
just as advertised. I felt like the ball stayed on my string bed for a long time, and that I could place the ball just about anywhere;
as if I was slinging the ball instead of hitting it, all with good spin. However, there is the bad. #1. These strings killed my wrist. I
experienced pain for the first time that I can remember in a long while; this alone means I will not use these strings again except
maybe in a hybrid set up. #2. I lost significant pace on my serve; spin was greater but with no pop. Halfway through the second
set of my doubles match, I switched to my identical racket with a solid core synthetic gut string (Yonex Tour 80). Voila, no more
pain in my wrist (right) and 1st serve had considerably more pop and weight.
From: D.R., Virginia Beach, VA, USA. 3/09

Center for International Studies
Channel | updated April 15, 2014
More than fifty years ago, MIT established the Center for International Studies to conduct research to help the United States in its cold war struggle against the Soviet Union. Before long, however, the Center broadened its focus to include research and teaching in a wide range of international subjects, among them development studies, comparative politics, international relations, social movements, security studies, and international science and technology.
MIT and the Center have always sought to bridge the worlds of the scholar and the policymaker by offering each a place to exchange thoughts and perspectives with the other, and by encouraging academics to work on policy-relevant programs. Center scholars, and the students they helped educate, have served at senior levels in every administration since the Kennedy years. It is a source of great pride to all of us at CIS that they are today among the nation's most distinguished analysts and executives in government and the private sector.

Comments: Purchased these a little over a month ago from IW and have not been satisfied with the product. Let's start with what's good: the skates look great. Very nice design and colors. The wheels that came with it are probably the best I've ever skated (I skate on a pretty rough outdoor surface). They've been used for at least five lengthy games and are still looking pretty darn new. I have narrow feet and (of course) found the skates to be a bit wide right out of the box. After following the suggested baking instructions, I got them to fit pretty well, or so I thought. I found that they stayed nice and tight for the first 15 mins or so of play, then they would loosen up significantly. After about three weeks of this, the boots began to bend around the ankle area. I should note that the boot is of pretty low quality and offers very little protection. It is not very stiff at all. The shots I've taken off the boots left me in worlds of pain, as the protection of the boot felt to be little more than regular tennis shoes. Nowadays the boots are bent so badly that I can hardly balance. I would not recommend these to anybody. Perhaps if you find an exact perfect fit, they might suit you well. Unfortunately I am out of luck and will have to throw down the money to get some Bauers, which have always worked for me in the past.

Businesses back center
Emerson, the Express Scripts Foundation and Ascension Health are supporting the center through a combined $1.25 million, five-year grant to Saint Louis University.
"This grant demonstrates the commitment of three national organizations that are based in St. Louis to help the members of our community who bear the greatest burden for cancer," said Mark Varvares, M.D., director of Saint Louis University Cancer Center and chair of otolaryngology -- head and neck surgery at Saint Louis University. "They are supporting a partnership that aims to address a significant problem. The mortality rate for many types of cancer among African Americans is higher than it is for whites."
According to statistics from the National Cancer Institute, survival rates from cancer continue to improve for all groups, but the death rate from cancer remains 25 percent higher for African Americans than for Caucasians.
For instance, African-American women are most likely to die of breast cancer even though Caucasian women are more likely to get the disease. Furthermore, African-American men, the racial or ethnic group most likely to get prostate cancer, are more than twice as likely as Caucasian men to die of the disease. African Americans also have the highest incidence and death rates from colorectal and lung cancers of any racial or ethnic group.
Engaging community partners
|Ricardo Wray, Ph.D.
"All too often, African Americans are among those who lack access to medical care, with dire consequences to their health," said Ricardo Wray, Ph.D., director of the Center for Cancer Prevention and associate dean for graduate education and research at the SLU School of Public Health.
"Medically underserved groups often are diagnosed with cancer too late. Many times, cancer has spread, and is at a later stage when available treatments are less effective. By catching cancer sooner through early detection, when treatment is more effective, or better still, preventing it from developing, we can make progress in fighting this deadly disease."
The new center is the next step in a long-standing relationship between Saint Louis University Cancer Center and Emerson, the Express Scripts Foundation and Ascension Health, with its community partners, The Empowerment Network and the Breakfast Club. Together, these organizations have helped provide cancer education and screening in community settings across the St. Louis region. The new center will also continue to work with other local community organizations, including churches, health advocacy and cancer survivor groups, to offer free cancer screenings and educational and informational presentations.
"Those who are part of a community best understand how to reach their peers," Wray said. "So their knowledge, experience and guidance will be invaluable in developing strategies and opportunities to promote cancer prevention and screening that will resonate with community members."
The Center for Cancer Prevention will also award grants to advocacy groups to support health volunteer training and research grants to study the science of certain cancers and cancer trends in the region.
"By raising awareness about the benefits of cancer prevention and early detection, we hope to help St. Louis residents live long and healthy lives," Wray said.
Free community event
As part of its educational outreach, the Center for Cancer Prevention will host a free community advocacy forum from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 14, at SLU's Doisy Research Center, 1100 S. Grand. The inaugural Community Forum on Advocacy targets community leaders, agencies and representatives of grassroots groups and brings together speakers who will suggest practical strategies to spread the word about fighting illness.
Selinza Mitchell, a nurse and national motivational speaker, will share ideas on how community-based organizations can make a dramatic impact on public health. Members of the local chapter of the American Lung Association and Health Literacy Missouri will discuss effective advocacy strategies that include using social media. Representatives of two African-American advocacy organizations -- the Breakfast Club, a breast cancer group, and The Empowerment Network, a prostate cancer organization -- will be among those from local groups who will talk about early cancer detection and their efforts to improve health. The forum is open to the public and reservations are required by calling 314-268-7015.

San Juan Capistrano kitchens are firing up, chefs are preparing special menus and the city is ready to welcome an influx of restaurant goers as the city's Restaurant Week kicks off on Sunday.
The weeklong event begins Sunday, continues through Feb. 24 and provides therestaurant community a highlight of regional and local cuisine. This year, Restaurant Week takes place a week after the Fiesta Association's Taste of San Juan event.
"Hopefully it will bring some visitors from surrounding communities in and it it'll also give the residents of San Juan something different and fun," said Restaurant and Tourism Council Chair Melissa McCormack. "San Juan is a gem of a town, we've got so many great restaurants and true there are great restaurants everywhere but I think it's time to really start celebrating the restaurants we have in town."
This is the first year Restaurant Week was put together by the Chamber of Commerce's newly-formed Restaurant and Tourism Council. Last year the event was not fully organized and was somewhat of a flop, said Chamber of Commerce Board Chair Stephanie Frisch.
Chefs all around San Juan are prepping for the weeklong event, preparing special menus consisting of items at a single price point for lunch and dinner. The more than 20 participating restaurants will have a $10 lunch and $20 dinner menu during the week.
"We're taking dining to the next level in San Juan," McCormack said. Here's a sampling of what a few of the restaurant owners, managers and chefs are offering up.
Sundried Tomato Café Chef Reymundo Montoya is preparing several items that he said will be sure to bring people back long after Restaurant Week is over.
"When they try this they are gonna come back, our menu is very unique," Montoya said.
Montoya has been cooking up dishes in the café's kitchen since 1994 and became head chef in 2004. While he has many favorites he suggested new customers try one of the restaurants more unique dishes during the week: the Pasta-less Vegetarian Lasagna, which includes goat cheese, fresh tomato sauce, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, red bell pepper and spinach.
Sundried's general manager Ashley Demien said the restaurant will try to highlight its various styles and flavors of food that it can to new customers and locals.
"For me it's like an exhibition week, it's a reminder of why we do it, there's something inspiring about someone saying they have never been here before," Demien said. "It just kind of energizes you, it's nice to get a little credit."
One of San Juan's most historic restaurants, El Adobe is also participating in Restaurant Week and Chef Carlos Hernandez said the warmth of the restaurant will bring in new customers and the food will bring them back.
Hernandez recommends new customers try El Adobe's salads that are being offered on their $10 lunch menu and The President's Choice on their $20 dinner menu. The President's Choice is named after a dish that President Richard Nixon and his wife would order when they visited the restaurant.
Another one of San Juan's staple restaurants participating in Restaurant Week is the local favorite Sarducci's Capistrano Depot.
While they haven't quite figured out their menu, owner Tom Bogdanski said with so many restaurants in town it is important to have events that show off all San Juan has to offer.
Other restaurants participating are brand new to the community and are hoping the event will put them on the map.
RokPrime Steakhouse & Grill which opened in November is taking the event seriously with their chef vowing to see just about every plate go out that week.
"I'm gonna be here everyday, not out of force but out of pride," said Chef Dustin Houston. "I'll see every plate that goes out."
Houston said he hopes the event will lure people into the town for reasons other than visiting the city's most famous landmark.
"We want (people) to know there's not just a mission here," Houston said.
RokPrime is offering all of it's regular lunch specials for $10 during the week which include an entrée, drink and fries. They are also offering a soup and salad and a baked potato and soup or salad lunch.
For dinner the restaurant has two dishes on tap, including a 10 oz portion of jumbo sea scallops and a 6 oz filet mignon. Both come with a side of roasted garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

A few weeks ago, the children in Christine Felton's kindergarten class became excited about a rock they'd found on the playground. Dull and nondescript on the outside, students cracked it open and found pyrite, quartz crystals and all kinds of "shiny stuff." Soon students were spending recess carting the rock around, washing it and chipping away at it, exposing more and more minerals on the inside.
Since WECS promotes inquiry-based education, a student-led model of learning, the rock found a home in the classroom, becoming a focal point of the "Discovery Table" and students began generating a list of questions and observations about it.
"What I love about inquiry-based learning is that you start with the students' own interests and build your curriculum around those questions," said Felton. "The students are much more engaged and they ask more sophisticated questions, even in kindergarten."
"My son kept telling me about this rock they'd found, and he showed me some beautiful chips from it," said Becky Button, mother of kindergartner Griffin O'Rear. "I decided to take it over to George's Gems and Geodes to see if we could find out more."
Upon close inspection, George McBride, owner of the local gem store determined the children's rock was most likely gold ore. The presence of quartz, pyrite and a red-colored mineral often indicates gold dust inside the rock.
McBride also performed a "scratch test," and found that although the pyrite was too hard to scratch, some flecks of gold flaked right off, revealing even more of the "shiny stuff."
As well as lending his expertise, McBride also donated a quartz crystal to each child in Felton's class to encourage their love of rock collecting.
Although it would take an entire truckload of ore to get the school to cancel its next bake sale, the kindergarteners were thrilled to learn they'ed struck gold.
