Fighting back: Researchers battle potato disease
POCATELLO — Potato growers from throughout Idaho learned about the re-emergence of the Potato Virus Y and what research is being done to prevent the spread of the disease during a special symposium at the 2011 Potato Conference Wednesday.
A variety of scientists presented the beginning stages of their research during the conference. They are from the University of Idaho, the University of Wisconsin and the United States Department of Agriculture. Many of the presenters have been a part of a large group of individuals researching PVY to determine ways to comprehensively manage the disease which affects potato production in the United States .
Project leader Stewart Gray said PVY has begun to shift and is less noticeable in foliage. Two primary strains of PVY have combined to form hybrid strains that cause tuber necrotic ringspot disease, something not seen in earlier strains.
"We're seeing a shift from the common strain to the tuber necrotic strain," Gray said. "PVY can become a major, quality disease for the entire potato industry."
If unchecked, PVY can result in seed shortages and yield impacts, Gray said.
PVY can be spread by various species of aphids and infects potatoes, tomatoes, green peppers and many varieties of weeds including nightshades.
Gray said everyone industry-wide must be on board to reduce PVY including seed producers and commercial producers.
A website dedicated to the project, www.potatovirus.com, lists several items that producers can do to prevent the spread of PVY. Things farmers can do is plant only certified seed, practice sanitation with cutting and planting equipment, destroy cut piles and remove any unwanted potato plants growing from the previous year's crop.
Certain potato cultivars are more resistant to disease, however PVY is a changing virus that can develop new strains to adapt to a resistant plant. Methods to control and reduce aphids from fields will also deter the spread of PVY.

Toward In-situ Measurements of the CO2 System in Deep Ocean
AbstractOceanography has entered a new technology era where observatories and in-situ measurements are gradually taking shape to form a global observing network. This technology revolution in oceanography will significantly improve our ability to monitor and study the ocean at an unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. However, there is clearly a gap between observing platforms (e.g. buoys, cabled observatories, Remotely Operated Vehicles or ROVs, and water profilers) in operation and biogeochemical in-situ sensors that can be deployed on them. Development of these sensors is mostly lagging behind deployment of observing platforms, and the demand for sensors has been increasing in recent years. This is especially the case for measurements of the marine CO2 system, which is represented by four primary parameters (pH, pCO2, total dissolved inorganic carbon or DIC, and total alkalinity or TAlk). High quality measurements of the marine CO2 system with sufficient temporal and spatial coverage serve as a foundation for studying the marine carbon cycle, and predicting future global climate change and effects of ocean acidification. However, we still largely rely on shipboard bottle sampling and discrete analyses of the four CO2 parameters to cover all depths in the ocean. This cost-inefficient process severely limits the scope of temporal and spatial observation.
We herein request funding to initialize development of an in-situ spectrophotometric sensor package that simultaneously measures seawater pH and DIC at full ocean depths (0 – 5000 m). It is targeted for sub-surface deployment on ROVs and in-situ profilers. Compared to previous developments, this in-situ pH-DIC sensor package will be deployed deeper in the ocean, cover greater measurement ranges, and be able to fully characterize the seawater CO2 system with high spatial resolution. This proposed study will result in construction of a prototype benchtop version of the pH-DIC sensor, which will then be used to establish calibrations and optimize measurement conditions for pH and DIC measurements that are suited for a wide range of temperature, salinity, pressure and concentration gradients to be encountered in sub-surface deployment. We will also explore new sensor design and resolve technical challenges that we may face during in-situ development. The success of this study will thus provide invaluable preliminary data and pave the way for future sensor development in this direction.
Development of the sub-surface in-situ pH-DIC sensor will enable in-situ exploration of the CO2 system near deep ocean phenomena, such as hydrothermal vents and submarine volcanoes. Studying the CO2 system dynamics of these environments may have significant implications for the ecosystems of these life-rich habitats and the marine carbon cycle. The developed technology will also have great potential to be deployed on ocean observatories to study carbon cycle and ocean acidification.

Corbin hit hard as D-backs drop finale to Phillies
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Diamondbacks head home from Philadelphia hoping to regroup and make a playoff push. They'd like to get some rest, too.
Roy Halladay pitched six strong innings in his return from the disabled list and John Mayberry Jr. homered to lead the Phillies to a 9-5 victory over the D-backs on Sunday.
A.J. Pollock had three hits, including a three-run homer, for Arizona, which has lost four of five. The Diamondbacks return home Monday to begin a nine-game homestand after a 4-6 road trip kept them seven games behind the Reds in the race for the second NL wild-card spot.
"It was a bad trip," manager Kirk Gibson said. "We have a big game tomorrow. We have to try to get some rest tonight and play a good game tomorrow."
The Phillies blew the game open in the sixth with three more runs off Patrick Corbin (13-4), who gave up a career-high eight earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and three walks in 5 1/3 innings. The All-Star left-hander, who had won his previous three starts, hadn't allowed more than five earned runs in any game this season entering Sunday.
"It just wasn't my day," Corbin said. "I left a lot of pitches up. I didn't have my best stuff. I feel bad about not going deeper into the game."
Of the trip, Corbin said, "It was a tough one. We didn't play very well."
Cody Asche had two hits, including a double, and two RBIs, and Roger Bernadina also had two RBIs for the Phillies, who have won six of their last eight games.
The game started just 11 hours and 25 minutes after the final out at 2:12 a.m. of Saturday's 7-hour, 6-minute marathon that set a record for length of time of a game for both clubs. This one was more conventional, taking 2 hours, 49 minutes.
"It's all part of baseball," Diamondbacks third baseman Matt Davidson said. "Things just didn't work out."
Halladay (3-4), who was working back from midseason right shoulder surgery and making his first start since May 5, originally was going to pitch his third minor league rehab start on Sunday but was pressed into action when Sunday's scheduled starter, Tyler Cloyd, was one of 11 Philadelphia pitchers used on Saturday.
"I felt good and feel like each time out it's getting better," Halladay said. "I'm getting stronger and looking forward to continuing to build."
Interim manager Ryne Sandberg got the go-ahead to use Cloyd, and Halladay, who was sleeping, was summoned in his Reading, Pa., hotel room, where he was resting in preparation for a Double-A start for the Fightin Phils against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
"I didn't know what was going on," Halladay said.
He went back to bed and made the 70-mile commute to Philadelphia on Sunday morning.
"It was nice having him out there," Sandberg said. "He was totally for it. He wanted to get back as soon as possible. He showed he's on his way back."
Halladay was helped by some generous run support. After falling behind 1-0 in the first, the Phillies picked up Halladay with four runs in the bottom of the inning thanks to Asche's two-run double and RBIs from Darin Ruf and Kevin Frandsen.
The D-backs pulled within 4-2 in the second on Tuffy Gosewisch's first career RBI, a sacrifice fly, but Halladay settled down after that. The tall right-hander, who struggled with velocity and command early this season, didn't allow another hit until Pollock's two-out single in the sixth.
Using a slow curveball and his trademark cutter that generally reached the high 80's on the stadium radar gun, Halladay struck out two, walked two and allowed four hits. It was his first victory since April 19 against the Cardinals.
"Each time out I'm progressing back to where I was," the two-time Cy Young winner said. "My arm slot and movement are back to where they used to be. I can be more consistent with location and, in talking to doctors, velocity is going to be the last thing to come."
The Diamondbacks got three of those runs back in the eighth when Pollock hit a two-out, three-run homer off right-hander J.C. Ramirez.
Bernadina made two stellar catches in center field, robbing Davidson of a two-run homer with a leaping grab over the fence in the third and sprawling to snare Gosewisch's sinking liner to short center with an all-out dive in the seventh.
"I saw it," Davidson said. "He made two real good catches today. That's kind of how it went today."
NOTES: By taking two of three from Arizona, Philadelphia won its second straight series and just its third in 11 series since the All-Star break. … The Phillies recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and optioned right-handers Cloyd and Luis Garcia to Lehigh Valley… The Diamondbacks return home Monday to host the Padres for the first of three games, with right-hander Brandon McCarthy (2-8, 5.44) facing right-hander Tyson Ross (3-6, 2.85).

Gutterballs (US - DVD R1)
Gabe takes an advanced screener trip to Ryan Nicholson's favourite bowling alley
After a randy game of bowling at the local disco bowl-a-rama, Sarah is brutally gang raped by a group of poor loser thugs. The next day the teams reunite for a re-match, and Sarah is present, much to the shock of her attackers. One by one, everyone in the alley, attacker and innocent party alike, is graphically murdered. The masked killer uses bowling balls and pins as his or her weapons of choice. By sunrise, the alley will run red.
The last time I reviewed an advanced copy of a Ryan Nicholson film I was very impatient, bitchy, and downright cruel. That movie was Live Feed, and it had an awful lot in common with Eli Roth's Hostel. I assumed Ryan's film was a cash-in, and I assumed wrong. When Ryan contacted me and revealed that his film was in production before Roth's I felt bad, and asked if I could interview the director in hopes of making it up to him. I still don't really like Live Feed, but I regret my review nonetheless.
Nicholson's new film isn't a great departure from Live Feed, but I think it is a genuine improvement, and more evenly skewed towards the '80s slasher lover's sensibilities. Really Nicholson works better as a comedic filmmaker than a straight horror filmmaker (at least from what I've seen so far), and Gutterballs embraces humour beyond horror. My personal sense of humour doesn't quite jive with Ryan's, so I didn't find the film exactly laugh out loud hilarious, but I prefer his colourful antics to the scary elements of Live Feed. Even when I wasn't laughing at the comedy I was usually respecting the film's ten steps beyond bad taste execution.
Live Feed looked like a tiny budget feature made by people who hadn't quite gotten the hang of filmmaking just yet. Gutterballs still looks pretty low on budget, but the framing and editing is much more interesting, and the visuals are quite colourful. Nicholson and his DP Mark Atkins seem to be going for a John Carpenter meets Bob Clark look for most of the film, with a bit of Bavaian colour influence, but the really gory scenes take a more decidedly '70s/'80s Italian slant. There isn't a lot of cutting or moving during the juicy bits, which is probably exactly how Lucio Fulci or Umberto Lenzi would've cut it.
Some of the actors don't quite convince, but the performances are overall much better than those of Live Feed, or any other number of truly independent horror flicks. There's a nice mix of honesty and cheese to most of the performances. Nicholson's biggest weakness (in my opinion of course) is still his dialogue, which is still a bit more Kevin Smith than Quentin Tarantino or Alex Cox, but his actors sell most of it.
But be warned, even hard-core horror and gore fanatics may be caught off guard by the brutality of the film's violent scenes. The first act closing rape scene was actually too much for me, which I'm sure Ryan will take as a compliment. We're not talking Irreversible levels of disturbance, but Gutterballs gives I Spit on Your Grave a jog for its money. The disc art's claim of 'Ten of the Most Bizarre Murders You'll Ever See' (taken from slasher 'classic' Happy Birthday to Me) isn't a lie, especially not the one involving…well…I don't think I can describe it here.
Unfortunately, the disc I got from Ryan isn't quite a final product, so I can't really 'review' the video quality effectively. The disc is single-layered, and the compression is obvious, especially in the film's bright, '80s bowling hall inspired colours. The print is anamorphically enhanced, which is more then I can say for most burned screener copies, but this isn't reference level stuff.
Again, this isn't a final product, and though effectively mixed into 5.1 Dolby Digital, this obviously isn't quite as things were intended to sound. I can't really give a fair review. Some may recall I had specific issues with Live Feed's musical score. Gutterball's original music is far less abrasive (in the bad way), and an effective homage to the slasher films of the '80s. Somehow Nicholson was able to afford a few real '80s radio hits, which may end up being a bit of a problem for the official US release.
Nothing here, but I've heard there's a lot on the way. The TLA Danger After Dark release should contain:
'Behind the Balls: The Making of Gutterballs'
Director and Cast Commentary
'Sexy' Audition Reels
Blooper Reel
Teaser and Trailer
Gutterballs is an effective throwback, and a professional piece. It's really, really brutal, and nasty, and not as gleefully gory as a Peter Jackson classic (save a couple scenes). Parts of the film's first act gang rape go far enough to make me, a very jaded individual, want to turn away. I didn't love the film, but unlike Live Feed, I'm not going to be forgetting it any time soon. Horror fans that can take the heat should look forward to the film's TLA release later this year (probably December 9th).

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (courtesy Carnegie Mellon sports information) -- Junior Emily Peel's (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris Central) career-high 33 points lifts the Carnegie Mellon University women's basketball team to a 65-56 victory over the visiting Judges of Brandeis University in a University Athletic Association (UAA) contest. The Tartans are now 8-12, 2-7 UAA while the Judges drop to 8-12, 1-8 UAA. The win snaps a 20-game losing streak for CMU against Brandeis, dating back to 2001-02.
Brandeis opened the game leading 9-4 after five minutes of play, with four different players scoring points. The Tartans then used a 13-5 run over the next eight minutes to claim a 17-14 advantage. The lead was one the Tartans did not surrender the rest of the way.
Peel gave the Tartans their largest lead of the half, 34-17, with 3:55 to play following an up-and-under layup. The teams exchanged buckets two more time before the end of the half. Peel gave the Tartans a 28-21 lead at the break after converting the last basket of the half.
Senior Jennifer Larsen (Exeter, N.H./Exeter) connected on a pair of foul shots two minutes into the second half, extending the home team's lead to 34-22. With the Tartans holding a 41-33 lead, Brandeis used a 9-2 run to cut the deficit to 43-42 with 7:21 to play as they connected on three of their four 3-pointers on the afternoon. Senior Morgan Kendrew (Cotuit, Mass./Barnstable) opened the string, while grad student Diana Cincotta (W. Boylston, Mass./W. Boylston) dialed long distance twice to get the margin down to one.
On the Tartans next possession down the court, sophomore Jacquie Shaw (Portland, Ore./Grant) hit a jumper which sparked seven straight points for the Cardinal and Gray pushing the lead to 50-42 with 5:32 on the clock.
Carnegie Mellon maintained control the rest of the game and led by as many as 14 points before winning 65-56. The Tartans shot 47% from the floor and held Brandeis to 26%.
Kendrew scored 18 points, 13 in the second half, to lead the Judges. She also hauled in a team-high seven rebounds in the setback, tied with classmate Shannon Hassan (Merrimack, N.H./Merrimack). Sophomore Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomperaug) and rookieHannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./Gloucester) had eight points each.
Peel ended the game shooting 14-of-16 from the floor and Shaw was the team's second leading scorer with 10 points. Peel and Larsen each grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the win as the Tartans edged the Judge 44-42 on the glass.

Garmin has launched the world's first touchscreen GPS watch designed for running, the Forerunner 610.
Read our guide to the best Garmin GPS units.
The Garmin Forerunner 610 has a weather-proof touch-screen that can withstand rain, sweat and splashes, and also comes equipped with vibration alerts. The Garmin Forerunner 610 also allows users to race against their previous best times using data stored on the watch
The Garmin Forerunner 610 also has the ability to upload and analyse workout data through the Garmin Connect service. Garmin Connect enables users to log workouts, track totals, set goals, share workouts with other users and participate in the Garmin Connect online fitness community. The service displays metrics including time, distance, pace, elevation and heart rate in a variety of graphic representations.
"The Forerunner 610 is more than just a running watch, it's a training partner", said Ian Edwards, national sales manager Garmin Australasia. "With innovative features, including vibration alerts, training effect, run/walk training and our very own Garmin Connect, the Forerunner 610 will help you make the most of your workout every time."
The Garmin Forerunner 610 will be available in Australia in May 2011, but pricing is yet to be announced.

Code: Select all
a_tr <-grammar (h2ht, data=data868)
I have 900 individuals, two fixed effects: farm and year of birth, the traits are the following:
t1 = number of calvings in lifespan of every cow (1 to 12);
t2 = number of days in lifespan of the same cows (from birth to sale for slaughter: 1153 to 5934 days).
the two traits are highly correlated (+ 78%).
1. I used the following function to calculate heritability:
Code: Select all
> h2_tr <- polygenic (tr ~farm+year, kin=gkin, data868, trait.type = "gaussian")
and I obtained reliable heritability values (0.27) for trait 1.
For trait 2, I obtained unreliable values (close to 1), with the following warning: .
"some eigenvalues close/less than 1e-8, setting them to 1e-8 you can also try option llfun='polylik' instead".
2. Then I tried:
Code: Select all
> h2_tr <- polygenic (tr ~farm+year, kin=gkin, data868, trait.type = "gaussian", llfun=polylik)
and I obtained the same unreliable h2, slightly lower (0.97) but the procedure has been running for 20 hours.
3. Suspecting that the trait was not linear, I added " opt.method = "nlm", but obtained again h2=09999999.
4. Should I maybe use the "steptol" and "gradtol" ? I tried them with various values and I obtained various h2 estimates, ranging from .17 to .50.
Can you help me?

Reasons To Share A Bed With Your Spouse
Science keeps wanting to pummel you with the information that sharing a bed with someone is going to disturb your sleep. Namely because:
"Someone who shared a bed was 50 percent more likely to be disturbed during the night than a person who slept alone."
You know, frankly, I've never viewed getting sound sleep as all that important, maybe because I am a terrible sleeper. I don't really complain about it though. I just get up and yodel really loudly and remind everyone in the apartment that they're headed for the eternal sleep of death soon enough. It's hard to incorporate lyrics that sophisticated into your yodels, but I do it, because I'm a hero. I mean, someone has to.
Whatever. There are still good reasons to sleep with someone that have nothing to do with "sleeping well." Here they are:

Black Soldiers in the War
Indiana black citizens--and blacks across the country--had great sympathy with the Cubans fighting for freedom. Black newspapers regularly praised the "colored" leaders in Cuba. "The Indianapolis World, one of the few black Democratic newspapers in the nation, noted that the absence of race prejudice among 'the Cuban patriots' would make the island 'an inviting field for emigration from the United States' after independence" (Gatewood, 115-16).
Black citizens were anxious to help the Cuban patriots. Nationwide, however, black citizens demanded that black officers be allowed to command black troops. Blacks should "be allowed to participate in the military effort in a manner that would elevate their status rather than perpetuate a racial caste system" (ibid., 117).
The first call for volunteers on April 25, 1898--generally limited to national guard/militia troops--had few blacks. Most state militias did not allow blacks to enroll (Cosmas, 136). Indiana's National Guard had had two companies of black soldiers since the mid-1880s, in spite of a constitutional provision limiting service to white males.* These men had served well under black officers in several emergencies. By 1898, however, the companies had been disbanded in a complex dispute over organization (Gatewood, 118-20).
Reproduced from microfilm of the Indianapolis Freeman, An Illustrated Colored Newspaper,
July 23, 1898. The Freeman was a black Republican newspaper (Gatewood, 115).
With the second call for volunteers in May 1898, there was an effort to recruit black volunteers. There had been protests to the White House and Congress that black exclusion from the volunteer army was a "denial of equal citizenship." Eventually 8,000-10,000 black soldiers were in the volunteer army. Included in that number were several regiments of black soldiers with black officers (Cosmas, 136).
The War Department broke its racial policy because Indiana fought for, and was the first state to obtain, an exception to that policy. Governor James Mount and Senator Charles Fairbanks finally went to President William McKinley to gain permission to raise two companies of black soldiers with black captains who had served in the Indiana National Guard (Gatewood, 127, 139). Indiana was represented in the war by these two companies.
Like most volunteer units, black units did not engage in any battles. Black soldiers in the regular army, however, fought gallantly--under white officers--at the battle of San Juan Hill, Cuba with the Rough Riders and Theodore Roosevelt (Cosmas, 136).
* The Indiana constitutional restriction against blacks in the national guard was removed in 1936, long after blacks had begun to serve. Women were recruited in 1973 after a constitutional amendment removed the word 'male' from the militia provision (Watt and Spears, 194).

They don't come any sweeter than this. This 41ft. Commuter has already been nick named the baby-commuter.
And although she does not have much to do with the New York commuters of the 30's, it goes without explanation where her name comes from. In fact the assignment was to design the best looking yacht ever, based on her larger commuters.
The client's priorities are analogue to those of myself: Hull shape first, styling second, and interior space last. And he is right. When the required interior space is not available, then scale her up a bit, but do not seek the solutions in extreme beams, large freeboards or massive superstructures.
With her nostalgic presence at the docks, and in the water, Harwal Marine is proud to share this unique commuter for the boating community.

The Dead Rising and Lost Planet franchises would not exist if Capcom executives had their way. This comes from former Capcom Global Head of Production Keiji Inafune, who is still speaking about his time with the company more than six months after quitting.
According to Adriasang, Inafune hosted a seminar at the Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan. During his speech, the Mega Man creator and former head of Capcom game development discussed the resistance new ideas faced within the company. Inafune cited a rule from management that required 70 to 80% of game production to focus on sequels. Despite that leaving some room for original concepts, Inafune mentioned the reality was most new ideas were denied anyway.
Fortunately for Inafune, budgets for development of game concepts and full games were separate. To transition from one category to the next required approval, so when two games, Dead Rising and Lost Planet, were not green lit to become full games, Inafune kept his teams working on the "concepts." Eventually, despite Rising and Planet running 400% over their prototype budget, Inafune was approved to finish work on the games, mostly because they were so far along anyway.
Inafune mentioned he could have been reprimanded for his sneaky tactics had the games not sold well, but we all know that's not the case. Factoring in overseas markets, each series has sold millions of copies. Still, it's interesting to think that two of Capcom's biggest modern successes almost didn't make it off the drawing board.

It has been a whirlwind first week, full of amazing messages from friends, colleagues, and lost connections. After PW broke the news last Monday that it had been acquired—and that I was returning to the magazine—the torrent of response was incredible, particularly after many among our 35,000 Twitter followers and the sundry media reporters, bloggers, and readers were heard from. Some were concerned by rumors of PW's demise, or print's demise, or even the death of the book. While the sequencing of the sale suggested uncertainty (the magazine was on and off the block for two years), PW itself was never at risk. The interest level in the magazine was quite strong. That PWxyz prevailed in its acquisition—we are a startup, after all—may have fueled conjecture. But we were simply the most determined of the many suitors prepared to take PW to its next incarnation.
Far from being dead, print will remain central to our communication continuum. However, targeting content to various segments of our readership is more easily done in electronic form, and we will sharpen those efforts. Cross-referencing our various databases will provide a clearer picture of what each reader wants and will facilitate the broader dissemination of more targeted content. During week one, we've already met with two device manufacturers and several of our many licensees. PW now reaches the largest audience that it ever has. With five e-mail newsletters (one daily, two weeklies, one bi-weekly, and one monthly), three international print show dailies, a robust Twitter audience, and a well-trafficked Web site, PW still moves the needle where English-language books are involved.
We will be migrating the site very soon to a new platform with the help of our friends and co-conspirators at Mediapolis, a Web-engineering firm helmed by four Web wonders. Publishing Experts has taken on the task of perfecting our editorial workflow in our sixth or seventh venture together, and CircFocus has jumped feet first into our circulation development needs. The entire archives of PW—going back 138 years—are being packaged for digitization. And we plan to build our international presence and generate local content from other markets. Google's Chrome browser offers particularly exciting possibilities; it now translates entire sites into 52 languages, including 15 of the top 20 populations. The addition of one market means two-way traffic, a third results in six-way traffic, and at 52 languages you are dealing with 2,756 intra-language pathways—one can dream.
Our investment bankers, Hayfield Capital, stand ready to secure whatever funds we might need for the most ambitious plans. That is, once our team, the employees we happily acquired, decide what is right. They are the ones who really know the market. Their ambitions for this property are the key to our collective future, and the lifetime commitments that many have made are invaluable. And, of course, to all those who wrote to us their opinions (or will), who have greater ambitions for our venerable brand, I say: drop me a line.
George W. Slowik Jr.
