Master regulator of key cancer gene found, offers new drug target
Gene partnership may be fueling cancer spread in as much as 20 percent of cancers
A key cancer-causing gene, responsible for up to 20 percent of cancers, may have a weak spot in its armor, according to new research from the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota.
The partnership of MYC, a gene long linked to cancer, and a non-coding RNA, PVT1, could be the key to understanding how MYC fuels cancer cells. The research is published in the latest issue of the journal Nature.
"We knew MYC amplifications cause cancer. But we also know that MYC does not amplify alone. It often pairs with adjacent chromosomal regions. We wanted to know if the neighboring genes played a role," said lead author Anindya Bagchi, Ph.D., assistant professor in the University of Minnesota Medical School, the College of Biological Sciences and member of the Masonic Cancer Center. "We took a chance and were surprised to find this unexpected and counter-intuitive partnership between MYC and its neighbor, PVT1. Not only do these genes amplify together, PVT1 helps boost the MYC protein's ability to carry out its dangerous activities in the cell."
Contributors to this research include Yuen-Yi Tseng, graduate student with Anindya Bagchi, David Largaespada, Ph.D., professor in the College of Biological Sciences, Yasuhiko Kawakami, Ph.D., assistant professor in the College of Biological Sciences, York Marahrens, Ph.D., associate professor in the College of Biological Sciences and Kathryn Schwertfeger, Ph.D.,
Bagchi and his team focused on a region of the genome, 8q24, which contains the MYC gene and is commonly expressed in cancer. The team separated MYC from the neighboring region containing the non-coding RNA PVT1. Using a specialized gene manipulation technique called chromosome engineering, researchers developed genetically engineered mouse strains in three separate iterations: MYC only, the rest of the region containing PVT1 but without MYC and the pairing of MYC with the regional genes.
The expected outcome, if MYC was the sole driver of the cancer, was tumor growth on the MYC line as well as the paired line. However, researchers found growth only on the paired line. This indicates MYC is not acting alone and needs help from adjacent genes.
"The discovery of this partnership gives us a stronger understanding of how MYC amplification is fueled. When cancer promotes a cell to make more MYC, it also increases the PVT1 in the cell, which in turn boosts the amount of MYC. It's a cycle, and now we've identified it, we can look for ways to uncouple this dangerous partnership," said Largaespada.
Testing this theory of uncoupling, researchers looked closely at several breast and colorectal cancers which are driven by MYC. For example, in colorectal cancer lab models, where a mutation in the beta-catenin gene drives MYC to cancerous levels, eliminating PVT1 from these cells made the tumors nearly disappear.
"Finding the cooperation between MYC and PVT1 could be a game changer. We used to think MYC amplification is the major issue, but ignored that other co-amplified genes, such as PVT1, can be significant," said Tseng, the paper's first author. "In this study, we show that PVT1 can be a key regulator of MYC protein, which can shift the paradigm in our understanding of MYC amplified cancers."
MYC has been notoriously elusive as a drug target. By uncoupling MYC and PVT1, researchers suspect they could disable the cancer growth and limit MYC to pre-cancerous levels. This would make PVT1 an ideal drug target to potentially control a major cancer gene.
"This is a thrilling discovery, but there are more questions that follow," said Bagchi. "Two major areas present themselves now for research: will breaking MYC and PVT1 perform the same in any MYC-driven cancer, even those not driven by this specific genetic location? And how is PVT1 stabilizing or boosting MYC within the cells? This relationship will be a key to developing any drugs to target this mechanism."
Funding for this project was provided through the Masonic Cancer Center Laboratory start-up funds, and through grants from the following: Masonic Scholar Award, Karen Wyckoff Rein in Sarcoma Fund, Translational Workgroup Pilot Project Awards from the Institute of Prostate and Urologic Cancer at the University of Minnesota. Additional funding from the American Cancer Society IRG (Award #118198-IRG-58-001-52-IRG92) and the Indo-US fellowship from IUSSTF was provided to specific researchers.

Weather Blog: More treats than tricks
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! Mother Nature will deliver more treats than tricks over the next several days. In today's blog we look at the forecast for trick-or-treaters and breakdown a work week rain chance.
Let's start with the forecast for those getting a jump start on Halloween and trick-or-treating Sunday afternoon. The forecast below is valid between 1-4pm Sunday. Southwest breezes will usher in milder temperatures with highs in the mid 50s. You may be able to add an extra layer on under the costume and leave the coat at home.
By Monday morning a cold front will drop south of Milwaukee swinging winds to the northeast. This will push colder air across the warmer Lake Michigan waters. The result will be some late clouds and even a few lake effect sprinkles or light showers.
Futurecast map below is valid at 7am Monday morning. The morning commute may include a pocket or two of showers, but overall any rain would be light and fairly brief.
Expect lake clouds to give way to some sunshine on Monday with cooler highs in the 40s.
Starting late Tuesday and continuing through Halloween the focus shifts to a storm system across the Midwest. Rain showers will be possible from late Tuesday through Thursday(Halloween) in southeast Wisconsin.
The GFS forecast map below shows FORECAST rain totals for this time period. The heaviest rain looks to stay southeast of Wisconsin. While the heavy rain at the moment may stay away, we will still see periods of rain and some beneficial rain.
Including today(Sunday) Milwaukee has only seen a trace of rain in the past 10 days. Again, the rain will be welcomed.
If you have plans on Halloween(Thursday), rain chances look to be highest during the morning. As the system pulls east rain chances will decrease during the afternoon and evening. We will keep you updated on the mid-week system right here in the blog. Check back for updates!
For the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News, and for updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!

FAQs - OGC and "Openness"
- What is OpenGIS®?
- What is an "open standard"?
- Does OGC develop open data formats? What is GML?
- Why are there different membership levels in OGC?
- What are "open portals?"
- What are "open procurements?"
- What can users and buyers of GIS and other geoprocessing software do to get more "openness"?
- Does OGC promote standard data models and standard metadata schemas?
- How do OpenGIS Specifications support system integration?
- What is Interoperability?
- What are "open systems" and "open interfaces?"
- What is an "open platform?"
- Why are architectures important?
- What is an application schema?
Q: What is OpenGIS®?
A: OpenGIS is an adjective describing specifications and other products of OGC's consensus process that support transparent access to heterogeneous geodata and geoprocessing resources in a networked environment. The goal of OGC is to provide a comprehensive suite of open interface specifications that enable developers to write interoperating components that provide these capabilities.
OGC registered the trademark "Open GIS" and OpenGIS® in countries around the world to assert the importance of open standards in geoprocessing and to protect its standards with a legal brand. A software vendor whose software implements interfaces based on OGC's standards can claim that a product "implements" particular OpenGIS Specifications. If the product has passed a conformance test for a particular OpenGIS Specification, the vendor can claim that its product conforms to that version of a specification and it can use OGC's trademarks to assure buyers of the veracity of those claims. The phrase "open GIS" (with a small "o") is also a trademark of OGC, with the same meaning as "Open GIS," though "open GIS" is not a registered trademark.
[ Top ]
Q: What is an "open standard"?
A: OGC defines an open standard as one that:
- Is created in an open, international, participatory industry process, as described above. The standard is thus non-proprietary, that is, owned in common. It will continue to be revised in that open process, in which any company, agency or organization can participate.
- Has free rights of distribution: An "open" license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the specification as part of a software distribution. The "open" license shall not require a royalty or other fee.
- Has open specification access: An "open" environment must include free, public, and open access to all interface specifications. Developers are allowed to distribute the specifications.
- Does not discriminate against persons or groups: "Open" specification licenses must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
- Ensures that the specification and the license must be technology neutral: No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface.
By this definition, a de facto standard established by one company or an exclusive group of companies or by a government is not an open standard, even if it is published and available for use by anyone at no charge. The Web, and the Spatial Web, cannot depend on proprietary standards.
[ Top ]
Q: Does OGC develop open data formats? What is GML?
A: In the not so distant past, it was important to know whether your data was in a particular vendor's (published or unpublished) format, such as SHAPE or DXF or in an open government format such as TIGER or VPF, or in an exchange format such as SDTS or SAIF. Now, format is not a major issue when vendors' systems communicate through open interfaces. People sometimes want to archive whole data sets in the format native to the software they are using, or in an exchange format, but bulk conversion of data files from one format to another is becoming less and less necessary. The new world of 'open' enables conversion "on the fly" when the data are needed, "invisibly" to the user. This not only avoids the enormous investment in converting data that may never be used afterwards, but it makes it easy to provide or find up-to-date data as well.
Ironically, the Web provides justification for something like a universal open format: Virtually all Web browsers now include software to process text encoded in the eXtensible Mark-up Language (XML). XML can be described as a language for creating self-describing data files, that is, data files whose headers explain how to interpret the data that comes after the header. This has turned out to be a very powerful concept. Scores of industries and professional domains have seized on the opportunity to develop XML schemas (essentially formats) to capture the specific kinds of information that need to be shared within those industries and domains by organizations whose legacy systems are very different from each other's.
Similarly, the members of OGC developed the Geography Markup Language, which is well on its way to becoming the standard XML encoding for geospatial information. It happens that XML-encoded geospatial metadata, (parts of which conform with GML) are a keystone element of the OGC Web Services architecture that makes possible detailed, complex, automated searches for spatial data and spatial services on the Web. Also, GML separates content from presentation, so the way in which data is presented (on desktop systems and PDAs, for example) is entirely under program control and can thus be tailored automatically to suit display device capabilities or application requirements. Very importantly, one of the major breakthroughs with GML is that, when used with XML tools, GML makes it possible to resolve many of the difficulties associated with incompatible data models.
It is not difficult to create profiles (application-specific variations) of GML, and this is what most data developers will do. The Ordnance Survey of Great Britain and the US Census Bureau (in its TIGER data) have committed to GML. But everyone in the geoprocessing industry should be aware that it is also easy to create new XML schemas for geographic information that are not profiles of GML, and herein lies the risk of a new obstacle to interoperability.

Q: Why are there different membership levels in OGC?
A: OGC is a membership organization supported solely by membership fees and fees paid by sponsors of Interoperability Initiatives. Membership levels are designed to accommodate different organizations' range of commitment, ability to pay, benefits of membership and reasons for joining. These considerations are balanced against the longstanding policy to make membership affordable for every organization that wants to be involved and the need to pay staff and consultants to organize meetings, promote the consortium and its activities, and maintain the Web site and specification documents.
[ Top ]
Q: What are "open portals?"
A: Geospatial portals can be thought of as the "hubs" or "geoinformation resource supermarkets" in the Spatial Web. A portal is a Web site that gives visitors organized access, typically through catalog services (services not too different from those provided by search engines), to data and processing resources on the Web, and perhaps also to people, organizations and publications. A portal offers an organized collection of links to many other sites. A portal thus can be used to aggregate content. And by attracting a large number of visitors who share a common interest, a portal also aggregates content seekers for the benefit of content providers and potentially for the benefit of that community of content seekers.
Users of geospatial portals based on the OpenGIS Portal Reference Architecture are able to immediately access – pan, zoom, compose, save and print – views of digital geospatial content held on diverse Web-connected servers. Multiple maps from multiple servers can be overlaid and "flipped through." Data providers register their data for access via the portal. Applications (and other portals) can integrate portal resources into information offerings and work flows.
The OpenGIS Portal Reference Architecture is a comprehensive, flexible, vendor-neutral framework for implementing geospatial portals, a design that is based on a collection of OpenGIS Specifications for software interfaces and GML encodings. It details the kinds of requirements that need to be considered in various spatial portal application scenarios and shows how to meet those requirements with components whose interfaces implement OpenGIS Specifications.
Software comprising a portal can be from one or several vendors. The key criteria for an open portal is that it be fully interoperable with all the other spatial resources on the Web that are equipped with interfaces, encodings etc. that implement OpenGIS Specifications.
[ Top ]
Q: What are "open procurements?"
A: Open interfaces make it possible to specify in a procurement a type of software component, rather than specifying one particular vendor's software. The goal is to be able to build incrementally with "best of breed" components, and to be able to "swap out" and "swap in" software components. For example, the procurement language might be, "Application shall implement a geocoding service that is accessible via the OpenGIS Location Service Geocoder Interface Specification." This offers geoprocessing software buyers unprecedented savings and flexibility. With respect to a geospatial portal or other Web-based geospatial solution, whether or not the solution uses components from multiple vendors, all of its connections to outside resources and users must be through open interfaces. If not, the implementation remains a closed system, a stovepipe, an island of automation that prevents present and future inter-institutional interoperability.
Open standards make open procurements possible. The open procurement specifies functional requirements and interoperability requirements. Products can easily be benchmarked in an interoperability pilot. Vendors that meet contractual requirements and demonstrate functional requirements and interoperability are qualified to provide components. This multi-vendor procurement process has been used successfully by numerous government organizations over the years.
[ Top ]
Q: What can users and buyers of GIS and other geoprocessing software do to get more "openness"?
A: Standards setting ultimately depends on users buying products that are based on standards. Vendors in OGC who have committed significant resources to developing the OpenGIS Specifications, with input from users, do so as an act of faith. They have implemented many of these specifications in products, but they depend on their customers and potential customers to understand the standards and ask for them. Public and private sector organizations owe it to themselves, their customers, shareholders, stakeholders, data sharing partners and constituencies to use the OpenGIS Reference Architecture (ORM) and the OpenGIS Portal Reference Architecture as models for their next purchases. These reference architectures make it easy to discern which OpenGIS Specifications are relevant to their needs. At a minimum, they need their local governments to ask for OpenGIS Geography Markup Language (GML), Web Map Server (WMS) and Web Feature Server (WFS) Specifications in software procurements.
Vendors and consultants must encourage their customers to make their data available in GML. (This doesn't mean users need to change their data models. They just need to convert their data to GML so it can be "understood" by XML-parsing software.)
User organizations in OGC that have committed resources to developing the OpenGIS Specifications by providing requirements in testbeds and pilot projects need other user organizations to help "move the ball forward." Particularly with respect to governments' needs to protect critical infrastructure and citizens in time of disaster, widespread user acceptance of open standards is critical. Similarly, industries that depend heavily on geospatial information are motivated to reduce their costs of system integration and data integration, and they can do this best if all their internal geoprocessing systems and the geoprocessing systems of data sharing partners are interoperable. In areas like location-based services and sensor webs, the opening of whole new markets depends on product strategies based on open standards.
So, it is incumbent upon buyers of geoprocessing software, data and services to carefully review their requirements and draft interoperability architecture documents that lead to purchase of solutions that implement the appropriate OpenGIS Specifications. This can be done piecemeal, one upgrade or add-on at a time, or, if it is time for the organization to put a whole new solution in place, it can be done comprehensively, all at once. OGC and OGC's members can help by examining use cases and explaining where open interfaces can be specified into the architecture on which procurements will be based.
Much is at stake, and much will be set in motion when a large number of people each take a small step in the direction of openness.
[ Top ]
Q: Does OGC promote standard data models and standard metadata schemas?
A: OGC encourages these efforts, recognizes their value and their limitations, and provides a framework of software interface standards and data encoding standards that helps people make the best possible use of others' data despite dissimilar data models and metadata schemas.
A data model details how to take real world objects or phenomena and make them useful in computer applications. In the geospatial world the focus is on points, lines, polygons and attributes of geographic features.
Metadata is "data about data," important in finding data and evaluating its usefulness for a particular purpose. A metadata schema is a template or structure for metadata.
Without coordination, different people and organizations working at different times on different kinds of projects produce data using different data models, and they describe their data using different metadata schemas. The differences have made it very hard to share and combine data. Coordination efforts are underway in many countries to develop and adhere to standard data models and standard metadata schemas. However, a nationwide standard that meets both local and national needs is very difficult to achieve, and the cost of attaining consistent data content seems to many (particularly those at the local level) to make this an unreachable goal.
It happens that standard data models and standard metadata schemas can be very useful even if no one follows them precisely. The standards will have an important role as "Rosetta stones" that enable users to "imperfectly" map data in a "local" data model to a common model, thus making their data "as useful as possible" to others. One-to-one mapping of data models is unworkable when there are thousands of models to map between. GML enables a one-to-many solution.
One-to-many mapping of data models is made possible by XML tools. The XML tools (prototyped in OGC's GOS-TP and CIPI-2 pilot projects) map GML-encoded data from a local model to the national model and vice versa. The data thus becomes "as useful as possible" to the data sharing partner who uses a different model. Certain elements of one model do not map to the other, but the XML tools make these inconsistencies plain in all their details, so that it is easy for data managers to focus on the critical schema elements that don't map. This makes both data sharing and data coordination much easier. It makes it easier for people at the local level to accommodate national standards in an affordable and practical way, and it makes it easier for people at the national level to work with local data that hasn't been converted in all its details to the national standard.
Another benefit of the GML approach is that this technology makes content standards easier for software vendors and integrators to support. Currently, content standards are expensive to support, and smaller companies that do not support them are at a disadvantage. The new approach thus enhances competition, increasing the choices available to users in the market.
[ Top ]
Q: How do OpenGIS Specifications support system integration?
A: Integration in our industry means making spatial data accessible from multiple technologies and software vendors and making spatial data and spatial functionality available to other IT systems such as customer response management, logistics, location-based services for wireless devices, etc. The benefit is that users can thus access, combine, and disseminate geospatial information from distributed and varied information sources. Integration streamlines workflow and reduces costs of information production, maintenance and dissemination.
Integration is far more efficient, with significant immediate and downstream cost savings, if the integration can be accomplished with open standard interfaces instead of proprietary and/or custom interfaces. Enterprise systems integrated using open interfaces can enjoy the "network effects" that result from the same interfaces being used in the world outside the enterprise. An open interoperability platform motivates vendors to introduce more tools, components, and niche solutions for integrators to employ. OGC's goal is to create a single, vendor-neutral infrastructure for integration that works everywhere, across all platforms, technologies and types of devices.
[ Top ]
Q: What is Interoperability?
A: Software interoperability describes the ability of locally managed dissimilar systems to exchange data and instructions in real time to provide services (computing services as in "client/server" or "Web Services"). Interoperable systems are generally distributed (i.e., at different places on the network), though in OGC's case, interoperability also applies to different types of systems or similar systems from different vendors communicating while running on the same computer. The interoperability challenge, successfully met by means of consensus reached in inclusive consensus processes, is to balance the users' need for compatibility with the autonomy and heterogeneity of the interoperating systems.
It is important to remember that proprietary algorithms typically run unseen in the "black box" component whose public face is the open interface. Some server components will outperform others and/or offer capabilities not offered by others, though they may all communicate with clients through a common interface. In an interoperable environment, competition among vendors is based on such differences in capabilities and performance, and is not based on which format the user's data is stored in, or which software provides the display function.
Interoperability also refers to interoperability across time (evolution of systems over time with backward and forward compatibility). When users participate in standard setting, backward and forward compatibility have a high priority.
Recall that the Internet Protocols (IP) were introduced as inter-net protocols, for inter-networking, that is, moving data between different networks. At the time there were many different networks, whose names we no longer remember. Inter-networking gave way to the use ONLY of the IP protocols. The result was the Internet and then the World Wide Web, which provided a platform, an interoperability platform, supporting an extraordinary proliferation of services and applications. This is the appropriate model for a geoprocessing interoperability platform.
[ Top ]
Q: What are "open systems" and "open interfaces?"
A: The definition of open systems has changed over time, but today open systems are usually considered to be systems that interoperate through open interfaces. An interface is simply a common boundary, a means to make a connection between two software components. An interface on the client presents an ordered set of parameters (with specific names and data types) and instructions (with specific names and functions) to an interface on the server that is structured to read and respond to just such a set of parameters and instructions. Thus an interface enables one processing component to exchange data and instructions with another processing component.
Some interfaces satisfy part but not all of the "openness" definition above. The information technology world has been steadily evolving toward greater openness, so many older systems still in use interoperate in what now appear to be limited ways. Such systems from a variety of geoprocessing software companies use interfaces that the companies have published for coding by integrators and application developers. Reaching that situation was progress, considering that at one time, few proprietary interfaces were published. From today's perspective, however, there are reasons not to depend on such published, but proprietary interfaces.
- In the old paradigm, a client system needs a separate interface for each vendor's system. The biggest advantage of open interfaces is "build one, access many." With truly open systems, solution providers no longer need to build custom interfaces. Users are no longer isolated in technology stovepipes and no longer captive to ("locked in to") single vendor solutions. "Stovepipe" is a metaphor commonly used to describe systems that are integrated "from top to bottom" but isolated laterally, i.e., from other systems. A stovepipe system might be a system from a single vendor or it might be a system built by an integrator, but it is not an open system.
-- From time to time, vendors change or enhance their interfaces, forcing client systems to change and forcing users to upgrade, perhaps without notice or opportunity for input. In contrast, the consensus process in a consortium like OGC gives integrators and application developers both notice and opportunity for input, increasing the level of continuity in new releases. Open standards impose a few constraints on developers, but they open huge opportunities, as demonstrated by the explosion of innovation and business opportunity that has resulted from the Web.
-- Integrators and application developers will probably spend more time learning how to use the proprietary interfaces than they will spend learning how to use OGC's interfaces. One bad result of the old paradigm has been that integrators tended to learn and then use one system exclusively simply because the cost of mastering more than one is too high, which further limits the choices available to the user. One reason open systems result in greater innovation is that they remove this burden from development budgets, freeing resources for innovation.
[ Top ]
Q: What is an "open platform?"
A: The meaning of open platform depends on the context. In general, the term platform used to denote any specific hardware and operating system combination, such as the Windows/Intel platform or the Solaris/SPARC platform. It is now used more generally to describe an application programming interface (API) or set of APIs that provide access to computing power, database, GIS or other services hidden "underneath" those APIs. The acronym "API" is giving way to "interface" in programmer-speak. By the definition of "open" in this paper, no single vendor provides an open platform unless all the exposed interfaces are open interfaces. An open platform needs to be like the IT industry's Web Services platform, which is still, as of August, 2003, largely unencumbered by proprietary restrictions and is the product of a consensus process.
[ Top ]
Q: Why are architectures important?
A: Today's enterprise information systems depend on interfaces that enable disparate parts of the systems to work together. An architecture provides an overall plan that shows what parts are needed, based on current and projected workflows, and what interfaces and data models are needed. Architectures can be based on proprietary or open interfaces. Architectures based on OGC's OpenGIS Reference Model use open interfaces based on OpenGIS Specifications. Such open architectures enable the integration of components from any vendor that implements the open interfaces, and they provide for direct (no integration required) interoperability with other systems architected using the same open interfaces.
[ Top ]
Q: What is an application schema?
A: An application schema is an information model for a specific information community. An application schema is set of conceptual schema for data required by one or more applications. An application schema contains selected parts of the base schemas presented in the ORM Information Viewpoint. Designers of application schemas may extend or restrict the types defined in the base schemas to define appropriate types for an application domain.

News Corp.'s Profit More Than Doubles
News Corp.'s earnings more than doubled in the three months to December because of one-time gains related to acquisitions and strength in the cable networks division.
Net profit totaled $2.4 billion, or $1.01 a share, compared with $1.1 billion, or 42 cents a share, a year earlier. Much of the increase was related to the acquisition of the 50 percent stakes in Fox Sports Australia and Fox Star Sports Asia that News Corp. didn't already own.

Red packaging for a Green future
300,000 mq of paint per year?
Efficiency is a key element of CAREL solutions - it is both a goal and a methodology. Because for us, efficiency does not just mean saving energy. It also means added value for our customers' businesses and precise environmental resource management.
This is why we have worked with our suppliers to create certified green packaging.
Together with our suppliers ,we have designed a solution that allows us to have packaging that is secure and strong, yet also environmentally-friendly. We have developed new coloured packages that use water-based paints rather than acrylic-based, and starch-based rather than vinyl-based adhesives.
We started with a pilot project in Headquarters, but we are already working in the other plants in order to replace all the packaging used by CAREL by the end of 2016.
Why pollute?
No thanks.
The red and white colours in the new CAREL packaging is guaranteed with the GREENGUARD Certification Program, which certifies that interior products are lower than the defined chemical emission limits. This helps create healthier indoor environments.
Planting tomorrow's harvest today.
Our new green packaging is just one of a series of actions aimed at making CAREL solutions more efficient across the board, defining a continuum between content and container. Consequently, many of our plastic packages have been replaced by certified cardboard boxes. At the same time, studies are underway to the reduce the size of our packaging and thus avoid superfluous waste.

Mewtwo's Pikachu
Pikachu was created by Mewtwo through cloning Ash's Pikachu's DNA. He started fighting with Ash's Pikachu the minute he saw him, although Ash's Pikachu didn't like it. This happened at another time again; however, the two Pikachus became friends.
Pikachu and Ash's Pikachu being rescued by Ash.
In Mewtwo Strikes Back[edit | edit source]
Pikachu first appeared in the first Pokemon Movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back. After he was created, Pikachu fought with Ash's Pikachu. However, the battle came to a stop when Ash ran between Mewtwo's and Mew's attacks, which turned him to stone. Like all the other Pokemon, Pikachu felt utterly miserable about it.
However, the Pokemon's tears healed Ash. Mewtwo used his psychic abilities to lift Pikachu and the other clone Pokemon in the air, and they went away to find a safe home.
In Mewtwo Returns[edit | edit source]
Pikachu's next appearance is in Mewtwo Returns. The clones had found a lovely place to live, at Johto's largest mountain. Pikachu is seen with clone Meowth, talking to Mewtwo.
Later, after Team Rocket attempts to steal Ash's Pikachu, Pikachu comes to the place they crashed in. He uses Thunder Bolt to stop Ash's Pikachu's Thunder Bolt on Team Rocket. Then Pikachu goes on about how angry he is and tells Ash's Pikachu to leave. Meowth translates it all, one of the things being "Get out, or you'll regret it!" However, when Pikachu is about to attack, Mewtwo stops him by using psychic powers.

Hello, I have been debating with a friend about whether or not any plants reproduce only asexually, or whether all plants have some mechanism of sexual reproduction. Our research has unveiled many forms of asexual reproduction, but there is usually an implication that the same plants also reproduce sexually. Are there any species anyone knows of that reproduce only asexually? Thanks

The Sheriff Knows His Heroes
"The heroes of the world are here in Israel."
This is how Sheriff Leroy D. Baca of Los Angeles summed up his feelings after participating in a recent four-day seminar in Israel on "Police and Law Enforcement in the Era of Global Terror".
Boca, one of 34 chiefs of police and other law enforcement officers from the U.S. and Canada who took part in the seminar hosted by the Israel Police told the press that he could not imagine any community as strong and as helpful as the one in Israel. "The help received by victims of terror attacks, who have had their bodies torn apart by a terror explosion, is an act of heroism of an unprecedented level," Boca added.
The police chiefs of Washington D.C., Chicago and Portland, Oregon were in the group along with the police commissioners of Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit and Kansas City, and various FBI representatives.

April 15, 2012
Iran on Sunday voiced hope that the next planned round of international talks about its nuclear program would lead to a lifting of sanctions upon it, the Fars news agency reported.
Iran held talks in Istanbul on Saturday with representatives from six world powers – the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China. Labeling the talks positive and constructive, the two sides decided to resume the talks on May 23 in Baghdad in an effort to settle the dispute over Iran's controversial nuclear programs.
"The Istanbul talks were a good and a positive step forward and it was decided that, in the next talks … the lifting of banking and oil sanctions against Iran would be raised," Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the parliament's foreign policy commission, said.
The United States and European Union have, since January, imposed sanctions against the Iranian Central Bank and the country's oil exports, Tehran's main source of revenue.

An amateur pornography video shot on a moving BART train has quickly gone viral, triggering a high-profile test on the agency's new law designed to root out unruly and indecent passengers.
Since being uploaded to the Web on July 11, the one-minute cellphone video has been flying around social media and had attracted more than 2 million views — or more than the amount of roundtrip riders who take BART over a two-week span. Several BART stations don't attract that many riders in a year.
The video shows a man and woman engaging in sexual intercourse in the back of a BART train while it travels through a tunnel. At the end of the video — in which both riders are partially clothed — the man laughs and the woman shrugs.
A passenger across the aisle apparently used a cellphone to film the illicit incident.
"Lewd activity is not only highly inappropriate on BART, it is illegal. It can and will get you banned from the entire system," BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said Friday. "Do yourself and the families who ride BART a favor and keep it in the bedroom."
The video comes just two months after BART began enforcing a highly publicized new state law that gives the agency power to ban for up to a year riders caught committing a range of crimes and infractions that vary from assault to urinating on board.
Since enforcement began on May 6, BART has issued 32 "prohibition orders" banning riders, including five for indecent exposure. Battery and robbery were also common violations, though people have also been barred from BART for fighting, selling drugs, breaking out weapons and attempted kidnapping.
Luna Salaver, a BART spokeswoman, said the rail line's police force is reviewing the video and officers will be on the lookout for the amateur porn stars featured in the clip.
"Should any individual(s) be positively identified for doing lewd behavior on a BART train or other BART property, under (the new law) BART PD can issue a prohibition order banning the identified parties from riding BART," Salaver said in an email.
Last month, video of a naked man doing a gymnastics routine inside the BART 16th St. Mission station in San Francisco also garnered wide attention online. That man was reportedly arrested.

Barred from BART
People have been banned from BART for a variety of crimes since enforcement of a new law began May 6. Here's the breakdown:
Indecent exposure: 5
Robbery: 5
Battery on a station agent: 5
Domestic battery: 3
Brandishing a weapon: 3
Threats to station agents: 3
Threats to others: 2
Battery on an officer: 2

About 2 months ago I began having a numbing feeling at the base of my neck and it would radiate over my entire head briefly. These feeling were odd and became more frequent. Soon my symptoms included head numbness, numbness in my shoulders, arms and hands. I even began experiencing numbness all over. I seem to have more numbness when I'm laying down. Very similar to RLS however feeling that way all over my body. I don't know if I would say numbness or pins and needles?? Very annoying! My PCP ordered blood work and a Cervical MRI. I was then referred to a neurologist. I have had a brain MRI to rule out MS and a brain wave scan EEP- I think is what it was called. Nothing. My cervical MRI showed nothing abnormal as well. I went to a chiropractor who took several xrays. His diagnonis was that my first vertibra were misaligned. He adjusted me 4 times and I felt 98% better and only had numbness in my hands. Then after my 4th adjustment he adjusted my 2nd vertibra, within hours my numbness came back. He adjusted me 2 more times and nothing, I'm back to feeling the same way again. He says that my 1st vertibra will not stay aligned due to stress. I don't feel like I'm stresses. I went to an ortopedic surgeon friday who viewed my MRI's and took more xrays. His diagnonis-nothing, my spine incl my cervical looks fine go back to the neurologist. GRRR I'm getting so frustrated. I wake up every day numb. I have extreme difficulty falling asleep as my numbness becomes worse while sitting in bed and then trying to lay down to sleep. I can not get comfortable. My PCP prescribed flexeril for me, but it doesn't seem to help. I plan to call my neurologist again tomorrow but he is also stumped. He is my 2nd opinion as a neurologist. Shall I get a 3rd one involved? I find it odd that I got relief from the chiropractor but all the other dr's claim nothing is wrong with my spine. I have been reading for weeks anything and everything I can find on the net. I feel as if I going crazy and don't know where else to turn.Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

Winter can bring about a lot of unpleasant skin changes – dry and itchy skin, red and irritated skin, cracked hands, chapped lips. Fun, right? As always I want to help my readers best care for their skin under any weather conditions, but instead of writing a new post about winter skin care I'm going to share my older posts on the topic. Looking back at my previous posts I realized I had covered so many issues related to winter skincare that, at the moment, there wasn't something new to add.
Happy reading and wishing you beautiful and healthy skin during the winter!

Artūro and Andriaus Kosovo are not your average car thieves. Until apprehended, the Lithuanian brothers pulled off their heists in a 4.8-liter turbocharged Audi with bulletproof doors and tires.
The Lithuanian gang's car was a 1996 Audi S6, fitted with the 4.2-liter engine from a first-generation Audi S8, which was bored to 4.8 liters then further boosted with turbochargers. The tires, at $2000 each, were bulletproof enough to allow travel at 40 mph even when hit.
Add to that the bulletproof padding in the door frames and you get the brothers' mean machine, perfect for their MOD: tow stolen cars away at high speed, then get to work on the electronics at a safe distance.
As for how high that speed was, it has emerged that the Grand Theft Audi was once caught on speed camera, towing a Honda Civic at 140 mph.

Two departments within the University of Central Arkansas have been awarded the Governor Quality Challenge Award by the Arkansas Institute for Performance Excellence.
The award honors groups in the state striving for performance excellence.
The Division of Outreach and Community Engagement and the Community Development Institute-Central were presented the award by Governor Beebe at the 2012 Governor's Quality Awards Celebration on Sept. 24.
"Excellence is one of Outreach's core values and we are committed to being the best we can be, and we're happy to be recognized at this level," said Kristy Carter, director of Outreach and Community Engagement.
The Governor Quality Challenge Award is the starting point for any organization interested in adopting and applying quality principles to attain performance excellence.
"Even though we're just at the beginning of the process, we've benefited greatly from the experience. UCA is a steward of a valuable state and regional resource and this will help us safeguard its future." said Kelly Lyon, director of CDI. "Bill Craddock, a leader in the state and national quality process as well as an instructor for CDI, suggested this is a way to help CDI grow to the next level."
The Governor's Quality Award program is operated by the Arkansas Institute for Performance Excellence, Inc. Developed by a team of volunteers, the program is designed to provide opportunities for all organizations in the state to measure their progress in the journey of performance excellence.
"I am very happy that our Outreach and Community Engagement and Community Development Institute-Central have been recognized for their work and contributions to the people of Arkansas and beyond," said Dr. Steve Runge, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs. "UCA was the only four-year public institution recognized at the awards dinner; a remarkable accomplishment for our people and programs. I look forward to see the work of the people in OCE and CDI-Central and the level of recognition continues to rise moving forward."

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have gone their separate ways.
They broke up about a week ago, a source exclusively tells E! News.
"Because of their crazy schedules, it was getting harder and harder to maintain a relationship," the source says.
U.S. & World
So much for wearing their hearts on their tees...
Rumors that the adorable twosome had split started gaining traction in the last couple of weeks, but hit a high note just last night when Bieber, 18, was spotted with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin, 19, seeing The Lion King on Broadway.
Gomez, 20, and the Biebs went public with their romance in February 2011 when they attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party together.
"I am happy," she told us a few months later about their romance. "I'm really happy."
Justin's mom talks about the "adorable" Selena
No surprise, but many rabid Bieber fans have had it out for Gomez since day one, frequently attacking her via the Internet.
"It hurts, it really does," she once told Z100 radio in NYC. "I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I've been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot but I try not to focus on it."
Here's a look back, from when Justin and Selena first made the scene to when they went their separate ways:
Justin lends a hand to Hurricane Sandy relief
Jan. 27, 2011: Too cute! Justin and Selena see no No Strings Attached--making people wonder if Selena had to buy the tickets to the rated-R flick because Justin's only 16.
Feb. 8, 2011: "She's one of my best friends," he tells E! News about Gomez at the red-carpet premiere of Never Say Never.
Feb. 27, 2011: After being the subject of much more-than-friends speculation, Justin and Selena go public as a couple at Vanity Fair's annual Oscar party. (Irony alert: They're stuck like glue, while Justin Timberlake and Jessia Biel are noted for their meh body language.)
Ke$ha denies sleeping with Justin Bieber
May 23, 2011: A day after sharing a kiss on live TV during the Billboard Music Awards, the couple jet off to an undisclosed location for a romantic vacay.
June 2011: Selena meets the Biebers! The duo spend time in Toronto with Justin's mom, dad and siblings.
June 5, 2011: They attend the MTV Movie Awards, before which Selena tells us that she's "really happy" with life, including the part where she's dating Justin Bieber. She admits, however, that the constant media scrutiny, er, coverage is "horrible."
Justin Bieber sex doll blows up
June 10, 2011: Bieber gives up his Stanley Cup finals seats in Vancouver after learning Gomez has been hospitalized with headaches and nausea, proving he's got priorities and they're in order.
June 28, 2011: It's kinda weird that we know this, but Justin and Selena exchanged I-love-yous while shopping at an A|X Armani Exchange in New York.
August 2011: The couple keep going strong in the face of a virulent breakup rumor that caught fire when some guy made a YouTube video ranting about Selena supposedly catching Justin texting his ex, Jasmine Villegas. Then Justin tweeted, "what makes you so beautiful is that you dont know how beautiful you are...to me," further fueling the story that he was trying to make up for something. (Though, in hindsight, he may have been writing a One Direction song.)
Five celeb men talk about their soft sides
August 2011: Artist Daniel Edwards crafts a bronze statue of a nude Bieber and Gomez, calling it "Justin &Selena Forever."
September 2011: Selena performs with "Justin" scrawled on her right wrist--but it's not permanent.
Sept. 23, 2011: After squiring Selena to a Demi Lovato concert, Justin rents out Los Angeles' Staples Center so that they can enjoy a private movie date. They watch Titanic, only the most romantic movie ever--if you like tragically awful endings.
Justin spends time with Belieber who's battling cancer
October 2011: What happens now to Baylor, the adorable puppy they adopted from D'Arcy's Animal Rescue Centre in Winnipeg, Canada? Joint custody?
November 2011: Holding hands and looking cute, they attend the MTV Voices Dinner together in Belfast, as well as the MTV Europe Music Awards.
Nov. 16, 2011: Still a little shaken after a 20-year-old woman accuses Bieber of being the father of her 3-month-old baby, Selena finds herself in the right chair--the one across from Ellen DeGeneres. "Yeah, it's good to just kind of...be good," Gomez acknowledges.
Justin Bieber's laptop mystery: Anatomy of a hoax
Dec. 7, 2011: Justin's rep shoots down engagement rumors after Selena is spotted wearing what appears to be a diamond ring on that finger. Girls can dream (about having Justin place rings on their fingers), can't they?
Dec. 31, 2011: The couple ring in the new year together in New York after performing respective New Year's Eve gigs.
March 1: Bieber turns 18, yay.
Our favorite Canadian celebs--there are many!
March 31: Gomez admits to us on the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards red carpet that "Boyfriend" is a catchy little ditty.
April 17: The PDA-friendly duo catch a Lakers game and share a smooch for the Staples Center kiss cam.
May: Bieber is rumored to have broken up with Gomez via Twitter after writing-then-deleting, "Thank you for the time I had with you but now I have to move on." Aside from the fact that it would have been really poor form, the story was just untrue. An insider noted that the pair hadn't been photographed together for some time because Gomez had been in Bulgaria shooting a movie. Long distance, you know?
May 27: A photographer claims Bieber got rough with him after he tried to snap a pic of the singer and Gomez at a shopping center in Calabasas. Nothing comes of it, legally.
June: Justin and Selena hit up the VIP room at the West Hollywood hot spot Bootsy Bellows--with Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry!
July 5: They head out for Thai food in the wake of yet another split rumor, this one triggered perhaps because it was a Thursday. Six days later, they're in Tokyo together. Eight days after that, New Zealand!
Taylor Swift dishes on friendship with Selena Gomez
Sept. 8: Selena brings Justin's little sister and brother to the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Hotel Transylvania.
Sept. 18: "She's good for him and they're great together," Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, says on Ellen.
Nov. 1: Selena says in the December issue of Glamour (in an interview probably given at least several months beforehand) that she "adores" Justin's fans and respects their fierce loyalty.
Nov. 8: Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin, 19, feels the Beliebers' wrath on Twitter after watching The Lion King on Broadway with Justin. "hey everyone. please calm down. he is all yours!! :) please :)" she tweeted back. Fans of Palvin (and reality) chimed in, too, insisting that the model has a boyfriend and can't be dating the singer.
Nov. 9: E! News exclusively confirms that Justin and Selena have gone their separate ways, with a source telling us it just got too hard for them to maintain a relationshp in light of their equally crazy schedules.

"Great leaders know that trusting relationships are the cornerstone of a successful organization. In Leading with Trust is like Sailing Downwind, Bob Whipple focuses on the importance of creating and building trust within your company-more critical than ever in today's turbulent business climate. Read this book today and you'll be applying it tomorrow."
Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager® and Leading at a Higher Level
"An exceptional ambassador of trust, Bob Whipple helps build great leaders. Leading With Trust Is Like Sailing Downwind highlights the simple but profound truth that trust is the driving force behind good leadership, and an invaluable performance multiplier for organizations. Whipple expertly empowers you to build a winning crew and puts the tiller in your hand. Well done!"
Stephen M. R. Covey, author of the New York Times best seller The Speed of Trust
Bob Whipple is one of the clearest thinkers I have come across in the trust profession. I have read over a dozen books on trust over the last year and suggest this book to anyone interested in this important subject. Any time I "dog ear" several quotes and learn something new- my reading time was well spent. Whipple has a unique take on what it takes to be trusted in a relationship- his concept of "reinforcing candor" is something that we should all embrace. A clear and an important read...
Jordan Kimmel - Co-founder of "Trust Across America"
When it comes to understanding the value and strategic importance of trust in the business world, Bob Whipple is without peer. He demonstrates this once again with his latest book, Leading with Trust is Like Sailing Downwind. Using practical examples to back up his concepts, Whipple brings what could be a watery, vague notion into sharp focus with urgency and immediacy. Readers come away with pragmatic, instantly implementable tactics based on trust that lead to real and profitable outcomes. Plus, it's just a fun read.
Tim Hayes, The Leadership Communication Expert™
We were delighted to work with Bob Whipple, The Trust Ambassador. With Bob's help and guidance, we were able to have a huge impact on the culture of our group. Within one year, "Trust" became the #1 STRENGTH of our organization. Bob was also instrumental in the creation of our strategic plan, which kept our goals visible and resulted in numerous accomplishments by the team. This year, for the first time in the organization's history, the entire team was involved in the creation of our strategic plan. I would highly recommend Bob's services to any organization. Bob is easy to work with and facilitates group work with expert results.
Lynn A. Sullivan, President & Chief Executive Officer, Volunteers of America of Upstate NY
Business, Life, and leadership are all about transitions. Bob Whipple's Trust in Transition is your compass and sextant to navigate these stormy seas successfully. His easy-going style, humor, and friendliness put people at ease, so they are open, receptive, and even eager to change their behaviors. A master at his work.
Bob Vanourek, CoAuthor: Triple Crown Leadership
This book is a treasure that should be on every manager's or supervisor's desk, not just on their bookshelves. I'm trying to figure out how to get my employer to have a mandatory workshop for everyone in the administration. In his concise and highly-readable book, Whipple addresses six myths about leadership, spells out thirteen truths, and speaks to critical issues facing all leaders. By giving specifics that apply to a variety of structures and situations, Whipple has created a resourse that will help leaders understand how to create an effective team that uses time wisely in pursuit of worthy goals.

If you spent the first several weeks of the offseason winding down and reflecting on the historic 2011 season (looking at you, Galaxy fans), this was the week to jolt you out of your reverie. The last seven days were all about ramping up for 2012.
First up was the release of the 2012 schedule, which marks the longest season in league history, stretching from March 10 to Dec. 1.
Hard on the heels of the 2012 slate came the annual MLS Player Combine in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., where some 60 hopefuls descended this past Friday to audition for a spot in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. That event, the centerpiece of the offseason, kicks off in Kansas City this Thursday.
There were also a number of loan deals — both potential and actual — along with the ever-simmering hot-stove activity.
Let's take a look back at the week that looked forward.
Break out the Sharpies
In addition to the earlier March kickoff and the first MLS Cup to take place in December, the 2012 schedule contains a number of new wrinkles.
More than 83 percent of games will take place on weekends or holidays. There were initially no matches scheduled on FIFA international dates, but teams were permitted to set games for those dates by mutual consent if scheduling issues required it. As a result, there are a handful of matches on FIFA dates in 2012.
Every regular-season game will be televised live, with ESPN, NBC, Galavisión, TSN and RDS all pitching in. ESPN will televise 21 games; NBC will broadcast 38; and Univisión will air 27. NBC will broadcast three games nationally on its flagship channel.
On Oct. 27, the NBC Sports Network will wrap up the regular season with an unprecedented tripleheader, featuring Philadelphia vs. New York, Chicago vs. D.C. United and Portland vs. San Jose.
Combine Forces
Dozens of players who would love to be in front of NBC's cameras this season took steps in that direction (or away from it) by competing in the Player Combine this past weekend in South Florida.
Day 1 got off to a surprisingly eventful start, as the players from the adiPower and Prime teams overcame any jitters or unfamiliarity with their new teammates to score five goals in the 80-minute opener, a 3-2 win for adiPower.
A more typical first-day-of-the-Combine match followed in the Friday nightcap, a scoreless draw between adiZero and adiPure.
But the goals flew in again on Sunday, when adiPure got a hat-trick from Creighton striker Ethan Finlay and jumped out to a 4-0 lead on Prime before holding on for a 4-2 win.
In Sunday's second match, adiPower got goals from UCLA's Chandler Hoffman and Maryland's Casey Townsend — both of whom scored in Friday's opener as well — to edge adiZero 2-1.
The Combine wraps up on Tuesday with adiZero taking on Prime at 10 am ET, and adiPower meeting adiPure at 11:55 am ET. You can watch both games on MLSsoccer.com.

As the 2012 SuperDraft draws near, a consensus on the top two picks has emerged, much as it did last year. Whereas in 2011 it was Akron's Darlington Nagbe and Perry Kitchen, this year's duo consists of Akron's Jamaican striker Darren Mattocks (right) and Duke's US U-23 star Andrew Wenger.
One look at their CVs and you can see why they've been tabbed as the class of the draft: the speedy Mattocks scored 39 goals in 47 games for Akron, while Wenger, the 2011 Hermann Trophy winner, scored 17 goals in 2011 and was named Offensive Player of the Year in the ACC.
One year earlier, as a center back, the versatile Wenger was named Defensive Player of the Year in the ACC. He is projected as a midfielder/defender in MLS.
They're both worthy No. 1 selections, but the draft class has other gems, and it's worth considering last year's SuperDraft in Baltimore before cementing them as the top two picks: While everyone tabbed Nagbe and Kitchen in 2011, Vancouver used the first pick to take … US youth international Omar Salgado.
High Interest Loans
Speaking of surprise moves, a couple of young American players pulled off about-faces of their own this week as center backs Omar Gonzalez of LA and FC Dallas's George John both withdrew from the US national team's January camp to pursue potential loan deals in Europe.
John's situation was a bit murky, but the rumored destinations were English sides Wigan, West Ham and Blackburn, the last of which courted the former University of Washington defender last summer.
Gonzalez's suitor was FC Nürnberg, and the Bundesliga side brought the 23-year-old MLS Defender of the Year to their winter training site on the Turkish coast, hoping to deploy him on loan from LA in the German top flight this winter. Sadly, in his first training session with the club, Gonzalez tore his ACL and returned to the US to undergo surgery.
In better loan news, Landon Donovan made a solid debut for Everton in a 2-1 loss to Bolton this past Wednesday. While the Galaxy attacker played well, he was upstaged by fellow US international and MLS alum Tim Howard, who scored a freakish, wind-aided goal off a clearance from the top of his own box.
LD played again for Everton this past Saturday, suiting up for a FA Cup match against fifth-level side Tamworth. He set up the first goal and hit the woodwork from 25 yards in the Toffees' 2-0 win.
Donovan's Galaxy teammate Robbie Keane is reportedly close to securing a winter loan to Aston Villa, while his New York rival Thierry Henry finalized his loan to Arsenal. The Frenchman will join his former club as a winter replacement for the players they're losing to the African Cup of Nations. He'll return in time for the Red Bulls' preseason in February.
Hot Stove Season
Could Inter Milan midfielder Dejan Stankovic be joining Henry in MLS in February? According to some sources, it's possible. The 33-year-old Serbian, who has made 10 appearances for Inter this season, is being linked with a move to New York or LA in 2012.
In Columbus, the Crew announced the signing of Chilean international playmaker Milovan Mirosevic last Wednesday, and Toronto are reportedly interested in defender Miguel Aceval, who's also been capped by Chile.
Colombians Jaime Castillón and Hányer Mosquera were supposedly on the verge of leaving Millonarios for MLS (with no teams having been named yet), and Renny Vega, a Venezuelan goalkeeper who shined against Brazil in last year's Copa América, was reportedly a target of New York.
The Red Bulls have also been linked with Swedish defender Markus Holgersson, who could provide cover if Tim Ream transfers to Bolton, as reports suggest he will.
Last but certainly not least, the Colorado Rapids finally found a successor to departed coach Gary Smith, bringing in former FC Dallas assistant and player Oscar Pareja.

New Chairman Shahid Khan watched Fulham make it a perfect record in Costa Rica as the Whites triumphed over Deportivo Saprissa on penalty kicks.
The Chairman made the journey over from Jacksonville, USA, to attend his first match since purchasing the Club and the Whites held their nerve to make it three wins in three games on tour.
Hugo Rodallega scored one, assisted one and converted the deciding penalty as Fulham netted five out of five in the shootout, with Ariel Rodriguez's miss proving fatal for Saprissa.
Fulham were given a scare by the team nicknamed 'The Monster', when David Ramirez forced his way through and added a powerful finish, much to the delight of the raucous home support.
The scoreline was overturned before the interval with Ruiz showing silky skills to equalise from Rodallega's pass, the Whites' stand-in Captain hitting his third goal in three games.
The Colombian Rodallega then turned scorer, heading in Buomesca Na Bangna's superb cross after 39 minutes but a piece of individual brilliance from Diego Estrada after the break levelled it up.
Ruiz was given the honour of leading out the Whites for the first time, in the absence of Captain Brede Hangeland and Vice-Captain Dimitar Berbatov.
It was a special way for the Costa Rica national team Captain to finish off the tour of his home nation, against his boyhood club's biggest rivals, having already scored two in two games.
And Fulham's number ten had the first sight on goal, shooting wide from an acute angle, as the Whites looked to stamp their authority on the match.
The San José outfit, inspired by a vocal pocket of hardcore supporters behind their goal, started with intensity, Sascha Riether and Fernando Amorebieta on the receiving end of some crunching tackles.
Playing at a high tempo, Saprissa worked David Stockdale on a number of occasions in the first half, one of which forced an outstanding, acrobatic fingertip save from Ramirez's header.
The Whites responded with intent, Na Bangna forcing a fine reaction save from keeper Donny Grant while overlapping on the left and collecting Ruiz's pass.
But it was the local side who made the breakthrough on 26 minutes, Ramirez timing his run between the Whites centre-backs to perfection and lashing the ball past Stockdale.
At this stage, the Monster seemed to be forcing Fulham on to the back foot, but the Whites offered the perfect reply when Rodallega's delightful chip was collected by Ruiz.
His marker was no match for Ruiz's trickery, going outside then in, before sliding the ball into the corner of Saprissa's net, only three minutes after falling behind.
The strike lifted the Whites, who began to put their opponents under more pressure, moving the ball quicker and stretching the play, a ploy which led to them taking the lead on 39 minutes.
Na Bangna arrived in acres of space on the left and delivered a dream cross for the leaping Rodallega to power a header past the helpless Grant.
However, there was no sign of Saprissa rolling over and their persistence paid off when the impressive Estrada's fine footwork opened up space for him to fire a shot in off the post on 69 minutes.
A more compact Saprissa made it difficult for Fulham to create opportunities in the second half, Rodallega and substitute Pajtim Kasami worked Grant but Saprissa held firm, which led to penalties.
Giorgos Karagounis, Ruiz, Riether and Ashkan Dejagah had already scored when Rodriguez leaned back and skied Saprissa's fourth spot-kick, leaving Rodallega to finish the job.
And finish he did, as Fulham completed the tour unbeaten, with three trophies and a very happy new Chairman.

Some of the biggest stars of the big screen were out tonight for the Baftas.
Fans lined up alongside the red carpet to get a glimpse of celebrities including Amy Adams, Eddie Redmayne and Martin Scorsese.
The event, at London's Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, is hosted by Stephen Fry with big name guests including Chiwetel Ejiofor and Gillian Anderson.
The star of The Fall and The X-Files posed for photographers in a vintage 1949 dress, while Luther star Ruth Wilson was dressed more for the chilly evening weather in a silver suit.
Another of the stars of hit film 12 Years A Slave, Lupita Nyong'o, posed for pictures on the red carpet in an emerald green Dior dress with matching shoes.
The event, formally known as the EE British Academy Film Awards, is broadcast on BBC1.
Also among the guests is the Duke of Cambridge, who is presenting the Fellowship award to Dame Helen Mirren.
William, who is president of the academy, said the awards were "a wonderful way" to recognise the UK film industry.
Writing in the official programme for the event, he said: "Excellence permeates every award category, from compelling leading performances to ingenious production design."
Among the outfits turning heads were Amy Adams in a flowing black Victoria Beckham design, while at the other end of the scale, singer Lily Allen went for a bright pink and orange dress with pink feathers in her hair.
One of the biggest cheers of the night was reserved for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who arrived together wearing matching tuxedos.
Welcoming the audience, Fry paid tribute to Dame Helen joking that the actress - who has played the Queen on stage and screen - has "this year brought her grandson along. Welcome his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge".
The ceremony opened with a performance by Tinie Tempah and Laura Mvula, before Oprah Winfrey handed the award for outstanding British film to Gravity.
The space adventure, which stars US actors Sandra Bullock and George Clooney and was directed by a Mexican, has caused some controversy by being listed as a British film but it was filmed in this country and the team responsible for its visual effects are UK-based.
Among the films it beat were Rush and Philomena.
The Bafta for production design went to the adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's classic American novel The Great Gatsby.
Gravity won its second award of the night when it picked up the Bafta for sound, while the award for editing went to Rush.
The Act of Killing - about Indonesian death squads who murdered thousands in the 1960s - was named best documentary.
Awards for make-up and hair and costume design went to American Hustle and The Great Gatsby respectively.
Gravity triumphed again winning the Bafta for original music, before Frozen was named best animated film.
Comic and actor Steve Coogan presented the Bafta for outstanding British debut to Kieran Evans for his film Kelly + Victor.
Emma Thompson presented the award for supporting actor to Barkhad Abdi for his role as a Somalian pirate in Captain Phillips.
Accepting his award, he thanked his co-star Tom Hanks, his "fellow pirates" and film maker Paul Greengrass for "for believing in me before I believed in myself".
Gravity picked up another award with the Bafta for cinematography before the supporting actress gong was given to Jennifer Lawrence for American Hustle with the film's director, David O. Russell, accepting it on her behalf.
Film-maker Peter Greenaway, whose career includes art-house hits such as The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, was then presented with the outstanding contribution award by Juliet Stevenson who said "he has no time for convention or orthodoxy"
Accepting his award, Greenaway said he was "very, very surprised" to receive it and thanked those who "travel with me".
The award for original screenplay went to US 1970s crime caper American Hustle.
Eric Warren Singer, who accepted the award with Russell, said: "I was breastfed from a very young age on British cinema, so thank you Bafta".
Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope won the award for adapted screenplay for Philomena - the story of an Irish woman's search for the son she was forced to give up for adoption.
Accepting the award, Coogan praised the "real Philomena Lee".
He said: "Her story has been told and her story finished in the Vatican. She has been heard but there are 60,000 women who are yet to trace their children".
Will Poulter won the EE Rising Star award which is based on a public vote, before the Bafta for special visual effects went to Gravity.
Joely Richardson presented the award for film not in the English language to Italian drama The Great Beauty about a journalist and partygoer in Rome.
12 Years A Slave star Ejiofor was named leading actor and presented with his award by Uma Thurman.
He said he was "so deeply honoured and privileged to receive it" and thanked the film's director Steve McQueen for his "artistry and passion".
He said: "You really brought us all through it and had the real vision to tell this extraordinary story".
Addressing McQueen again, he said: "Thank you for this. This is yours by the way, I know that, you know that. I'm going to keep it but it's yours".
Alfonso Cuaron was named best director for Gravity - beating McQueen among others.
Accepting his award, he said: "You can not tell from my accent but I consider myself a part of the British film industry".
Telling the audience, he had made "almost half" of his films in the UK, he joked: "I guess I'm a very good case for curbing immigration".
Cate Blanchett was named best actress for her role in the Woody Allen film Blue Jasmine.
She dedicated her win to Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died earlier this month in New York, calling him "a continual profound touchstone".
She said: "Phil, buddy, this is for you, you bastard. I hope you're proud."
The award for best film went to 12 Years A Slave with McQueen thanking his "one and only mother for having the faith, never give up".
He told the audience: "There are 21 million people in slavery as we sit here. I just hope 150 years from now our ambivalence will not allow another film-maker to make this film".
Before presenting the Fellowship to Dame Helen, William described her as "an extremely talented British actress who I should probably call granny".
Jeremy Irons, who helped William present the award, called her "one hell of a dame" before she took to the stage and paid her own tribute to one of her former teachers who died recently and "alone was the person who encouraged me to be an actor".
She ended by quoting from William Shakespeare's The Tempest, saying: "'We are such stuff as dreams are made on and our little life is rounded with a sleep'
"My little life is rounded with this honour, thank you very much indeed."

What a great day in first grade! We had a big day of learning and saw exactly how our thinking matters in the larger community. Way to live a curious life first graders!
Each Wednesday we follow Wonderopolis.org and engage in our "Wonder Wednesday" challenge. We view recent wonders posted to the website and then create our own blog posts, either responding to Wonderopolis or sharing our own wonderings.
This site has become a classroom favorite and kids now visit it throughout the week. On Friday, one student was thinking ahead to St. Patrick's Day and asked, "Are leprechauns real?"
As we pondered the question, someone said, "Hey! I know! Let's send the question to Wonderopolis." So we did. I modeled how to submit a question on my iPad and projected it for the class to see. We submitted our question and then several students submitted additional wonders to the Wonderopolis website.
Well on Saturday morning, you can imagine how THRILLED I was when I checked my Twitter feed and saw the Wonder of the Day.
I could hardly wait for my students to enter the building! As soon as they came in, I had them get their iPads and go straight to the website. When my class saw Wonder #531 the room erupted in squeals! Such joy! Total amazement! What a feeling of empowerment!
I have been teaching my kids all year that they need to live a curious life. Ask questions. Seek answers. Look for deeper meaning. Have a set of resources that can help you find the answers to your questions. Access experts in your every day life.
Today Wonderopolis gave them a foundational experience for what it feels like to be a digital citizen and member of the global learning community. My kids have now experienced curiosity and the "search curriculum." They are inspired to ask again and are moved to let the world know their thinking matters! Today they truly believe that others are interested in their ideas and the thoughts and questions they have to share.
After celebrating this milestone, my students got right to working letting people know that their wonder had been answered. Nearly every child posted a new blog announcing the "big news." Six students created iMovies with student interviews and screen shots from Wonderopolis. Four children created instructional eBooks on how to use Wonderopolis and another is currently working on a Keynote to share with the kindergarten class.
THIS is the type of thinking and learning that matters.
My students know how to ask, use and share information. They can name and employ tools to document their thinking and take it public to teach others. They are active agents in their own curriculum development and they confidently promote learning.
What more could a teacher ask for?
THANK YOU Wonderopolis for making this monumental day of learning possible.
I know that this experience has changed my students as digital citizens and will serve as a catalyst for future learning. Three cheers for Wonderopolis and the curious kids in Room 106!
