Welcome to the MIT BIOMICRO CENTER
BioMicro Center News
I hope everyone had a great summer. A couple new things to tell you about with the start of the academic year. First, we have two new bioinformatics scientists on board. Dr. Duan Ma comes to us from the Dept of Biostatistics at Washington University as well as several years in industry where she worked on a broad variety of bioinformatics problems as well as cloud computing solutions. Dr. Jie Wu did his PhD in computational biology Cold Spring Harbor where he focused on developing algorithms for RNAseq. Both Jie and Duan are located in 68-317, so please stop by and say hello.
One new product to tell you about is new MiSeq v3 kits which just came out. These kits increase read counts to 25m from the current 15m maximum. The kits only come in 150 and 600 nt sizes and are somewhat more expensive than the current reagents. The changes to the MiSeq do not help v2 kits and they cannot reach the 25m threshold. We will be offering both the v2 and v3 kits for a short while, but our expectation is the v2 kits will be discontinued by Illumina in the not so distant future. New pricing for the v3 kits is up on our BioMicroCenter:Pricing pricing site.
Also on the sequencing front, we have some evidence that the CG bias issues we were seeing on the HiSeq may not have been totally resolved. We are in the middle of implementing some significant changes in our control lane chemistry in collaboration with Illumina. These will at least allow us to monitor the situation very aggressively and detect any changes in GC bias by using a more complex mixture of samples, instead of only phiX. As I mentioned in our April newsletter, if you have reason to believe your data was compromised by this issue, please come talk to us so we can help get replacement kits to get your samples rerun as soon as possible. The new control lane is in early beta but is being included on all HiSeq flowcells now. We do want to thank the Laub, Niles and XXX labs for DNA to help us in this effort.
Finally, the Technology Seminar Series will return this year. We begin next Wednesday with Wafergen talking about the Smartchip system. The seminar will be at noon in 68-180 and lunch will be provided. We're hoping to have seminars every month throughout the year so be sure to look for them on our website.
First, we have a number of BioMicroCenter:People staffing changes to tell you about. The end of June will see three members of the core moving on. Ryan Abo, one of our informatics scientists, will be heading to the Dana Farber and Paraj Patel and Pierrick Millet will be returning to Northeastern. Our new co-op students, Ashley Machado and Alexander Soltoff will be starting July 1st. We are currently undertaking a job search to look for Ryan's replacement. If you have any concerns about the personnel changes, please feel free to contact me.
In a piece of good news, the root cause of the critical failures we have had with our MiSeq for the last month plus with homopolymer samples appear to have been identified and should be fixed today. A recent software upgrade that was supposed to improve the handling of homopolymeric samples apparently failed to install properly, resulting in a mix of pipeline versions that was unable to handle the sequences at all. I do want to thank everyone for their patience as we have struggled with this problem and assure everyone we will move through our backlog on the MiSeq as fast as we possibly can. I also want to thank the techs in the lab, especially Scott Morin, who have been working weekends to try to get as many samples through the MiSeq as possible.
Finally, with the end of the fiscal year, our annual price adjustments are due to take effect on July 1st. You can find a complete list of the new prices here . The largest change is a reduction in cost for HiSeq sequencing, especially for longer reads. This is associated with a significant decrease in the amount of time we will be holding data on our servers and with the recent switch from fastq + SAM file formats to retaining only BAM files. (see January 2013 notes).
We have noticed a number of technical issues with some Illumina runs. We want to share with you to make sure you are aware of some changes and newly identified technical issues with the platform and what we are doing to correct them where we can. All of these changes are from the Illumina side and none were especially well documented (some not at all). These issues are unlikely to be limited to the BMC, so samples from elsewhere on campus or around the country may also have these issues. Please read this as it may have some impact on your analyses.
Just to begin, all of these changes are subtle and not obvious in most cases directly from the sequencers. It was the rare cases that had dramatic effects that caused us to notice them. If you decide you need to have samples rerun, we will work with you to try to get Illumina to replace the reagents and to get the samples rerun. Unfortunately, there is no way we can possibly do bulk reruns of several months' worth of studies.
The most concerning issue is a dropout of GC rich regions in clustering. This has been an on-again off-again issue with Illumina that we have addressed over a year ago by improvements in amplification cycling conditions and enzyme selection. Some time, several months ago (we do not have a precise window), Illumina appears to have changed the chemistry of one of their clustering components and that caused a major change in performance on GC rich areas. This can be seen as an absence of reads from very GC rich areas but, because these areas are rare in most genomes, they cannot be seen on the flowcell wide metrics. This issue is found on current HiSeq and MiSeqV2 kits but not on MiSeqV1 kits nor, we suspect, on the GAII. We have been able to address this problem by adding a brief boiling step during NaOH denaturation of the samples and have implemented this as SOP starting about two weeks ago. This drop out of regions can cause significant issues for several studies – most notably ChIP analyses – when you are comparing data from different chemistries.
A second concern is one that has been reported in the community but we have not identified on our machines – yet – where samples from a run are being observed in the following run as minor contaminants. This issue is limited to the MiSeq and HiSeq2500 (we do not have the latter) where the tubes that add sample to the flowcell are not changed. This contamination is reported to be <1% and so would not show up on our quality metrics. However, if your MiSeq analyses are being based on finding a few reads in a large pool of discarded data or you are doing a number of sequential runs, you may wish to validate your data more carefully using an alternative technique such as qPCR or sanger sequencing. There is currently no technical fix to this problem.
A third issue has been around for a while though we had not appreciated the implications. Illumina's newer versions of basecalling software have become less capable of handling uniform sequence (all A's for example). In earlier versions, only 5 basepairs of variability were needed and intensities could be determined by the control lane we run on all HiSeq flowcells. Now, it appears that nt 1-25 all must have representation of all 4 bases at all positions, even with a control lane. This has always been an issue on the MISeq and we have solved it by spiking in 30%PhiX in the lane (as opposed to our normal 0.1% spike in). Similar solutions can be used on the HiSeq. Given this change, we are re-evaluating whether there is value in using the 8th lane as a control. The latest version of MiSeq software (only a couple days old) supposedly allows us to lower the fraction to 5%, but how successful this is remains to be seen. Base rearrangement with the GAII allows the GAII to avoid this issue.
Finally, it appears that custom priming on the MiSeq is not the same as custom priming on the HiSeq and GAII. It can still be done, but the Tm requirement is much higher. Primers that work on the HiSeq may fail on the MiSeq. As long as your Tm matches or exceeds the Tm used for Illumina primers, the MiSeq should work, but the MiSeq's different chemistry (formamide instead of heat denaturation) is less forgiving.
In summary, we have a number of technical challenges that may (or may not) effect you and we want to make sure you have all the information we can give you. I want to thank the researchers and labs that have been very patient as we have struggled running their samples which led us to identify these problems. If you believe these issues have effected your data, please do not hesitate to contact me and we can discuss how to move forward.

Shanghai GRAND SLAM | 30 April - 5 May 2013
Shanghai, China, May 2, 2013 – Dutch underdogs Alexander Brouwer/Robert Meeuwsen continued their impressive run in the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball season as they claimed three matches to join big names including Sean Rosenthal/Philip Dalhausser, Pedro Solberg Salgado/Bruno Oscar Schmidt in the pool winners after the conclusion of the Shanghai Grand Slam men's round robin play here on Thursday.
Having produced their best ever World Tour result (fifth) last week in the Fuzhou Open, Brouwer/Meeuwsen beat home hopes Wu Penggen/Wu Jiaxin 21-15 and 21-12 Thursday morning to finish at the top of pool A and advance to the 24-team knockout stage.
"We're feeling great after winning the pool with three matches in straight sets like we did in Fuzhou. It's a great feeling to advance to the second round," said Brouwer.
Despite the loss, Wu/Wu also make it to the elimination round with one win against two losses.
"The Chinese team have improved already a lot if you compare it with last week so we had a much tougher match even though the set points were maybe better for us. They are playing a little bit of a harder game now," said Meeuwsen.
Six more teams including Rosenthal/Dalhausser of the United States, Pedro/Bruno from Brazil and Germany's Jonathan Erdmann/Kay Matysik also collected three straight wins in the group stage.
Coming from an opening loss in the first set, Rosenthal/Dalhausser rallied past Austria's Clemens Doppler/Alexander Horst 22-24, 21-18 and 15-13 to remain unbeaten in Shanghai. Leading 12-10 in the tiebreaker, Dalhausser had an unsuccessful block and a spiking error to allow the Austrians to level it at 13-all. Then Rosenthal gave the Americans the edge again with a kill before a pair of errors from Austria handed the victory to the newly crowned Fuzhou Open champions.
Erdmann/Matysik also met a tough challenge Thursday morning in their third pool match against Brazil's Ricardo Alex Costa Santos/Alvaro Morais Filho. Trailing by 19-18 in the first set, the German duo withstood two set points to overtake the lead at 22-21. Alvaro drove the ball out of bounds to make it 22-all, but a smart dink by Erdmann and a spiking error from Alvaro gave the set to Germany.
"We made a couple of own mistakes (in the first set). Without that we could make more pressure with their defense," said Matysik. "In the second set, we found our rhythm." After the game resumed, Ricardo/Alvaro put up no real resistance, losing quickly at 21-13.
"We are pretty happy about the result, because last week (in Fuzhou) we lost twice against Brazil, other teams, but this time we want to make it and win the group," said Matysik. "I think now we get the rhythm, so we're pretty happy."
Austrian qualifiers Alexander Huber/Robin Seidl, the dark horses of the Fuzhou Open where they had an astonishing performance to finish with bronze, crashed out of the Shanghai Grand Slam after dropping their third match in a row against Brazil's Vitor Goncalves Felipe/Evandro Goncalves Oliveira of Brazil 2-0 Thursday morning.
"We're a little bit disappointed because we didn't make it to the elimination round this time, because that's obviously the good part of our game – the elimination part where we always have success," said Huber. "It has been really tough over the two weeks, we were really tired coming into this tournament but we qualified for the main draw which was really good. After that it was just a fight and we came up short in the first two matches. That were really close matches and I think now in the third we didn't have enough left to win."
"In the first two matches in the Main Draw, we were so close to winning. We were already leading, but we didn't make it," said Seidl. "Also, with not much energy, we were really close to good teams and it gives us hope that was not just once that made third and we still can beat them. We are looking forward to Corrientes and we think we will play a good tournament there."
The men's elimination phase of the Shanghai Grand Slam will start on Friday with the eight pool winners having a bye in the first round.
The double gender Shanghai Grand Slam is the first of a record 10 Grand Slam events on the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar with the men's and women's medal matches schduled for Saturday and Sunday respectively.

As a commercial interior designer, Suffolk University alumna Jill Garzik is accustomed to explaining every choice she makes during the creative process.
"There must be a reason for everything you do, and you must be able to defend every decision," she says.
Garzik, who earned a bachelor of fine arts degree at the New England School of Art & Design in 2006, remembers being put on the spot during presentations of her student interior design work.
Practitioners offer appraisal
"As students, we had studio critiques where our professors would bring in outside experts to judge our work in front of the entire class," she says.
"We had to answer a lot of questions about how we put our projects together. It was a good learning experience that has helped me in the job I have today."
Garzik, who recently was honored at a "10 Under 10" alumni reception, is an interior designer in the Boston office of Perkins Eastman, an international planning, design and consulting firm.
Garzik designs space for education, health care, science and technology, and senior living. Tasks might include space planning, room layouts, finish and furniture specifications, and code requirements.
"Interior design is problem solving, and my job is to help my clients figure out what works for them and what doesn't" she says. "We create a space together that allows them to improve the work that they do."
The ultimate compliment
Garzik helped design the 250,000-square-foot Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Ambulatory Care Center at Boston Medical Center, an experience she treasures.
"One of the doctors there told me how they were seeing a radical improvement in their patients since moving their clinics into the new building," she says.
"That was a defining moment for me. To know that I come to work every day and even have the possibility to affect someone's experience like that is why I love what I do."
Staying involved on campus
Garzik, who also worked on the design for Suffolk's Café 73, remains busy in the University's design community, participating in alumni panels and studio critiques as a member of the Interior Design Advisory Board at the New England School of Art & Design.
"Suffolk is a great place for opportunities if you're willing to put yourself out there and grab them," she says.
Garzik shared her story with other young alumni who were recognized for their accomplishments at the second annual "10 Under 10" reception hosted by the Alumni Association in April. The 10 alumni honored earned their Suffolk University degrees within the past decade.

The Kickr Power Trainer from Wahoo Fitness takes your indoor trainer workouts (and race-day outdoor warm-ups and downs) to an entirely new level. Its first trick is not relying on your rear wheel, which means no more tire and cassette wear - and never having to worry about flatting while warming up! This ingenious design makes for a smaller, more portable trainer, too, plus the Kickr folds for even easier transport/storage, and it even has a sturdy built-in carrying handle. Unfolded and in use, the Kickr is extremely stable thanks to heavy-duty construction, long legs and leveling feet. Riding feels super-smooth and just like cycling outdoors thanks to a heavy flywheel and carbon belt drive. Plus, you get accurate power measurement, controlled resistance and open third-party software options. The Wahoo Kickr Power Trainer is the world's first iPhone powered bike trainer, and it works out of the box with several software solutions, too. Your indoor cycling experience will never be the same!

So far I have been using the Wahoo Kickr Power Trainer for about 3 weeks and must say that it is far better than the other fluid trainer I have. The built-in power meter metrics is quite useful and the communication platform of both Ant+ and bluetooth allows me to sync all of my devices; Windows, Android and Apple. I've used it to sync with various Apps with ease such as Zwift & TrainerRoad. Easily upload files to Strava and there is also an auto sync feature.

Johns Hopkins researchers may have narrowed in on nerve cells in mice that signal when something feels itchy, but not when it causes pain. Even if a stimulus that would normally be perceived as painful is introduced to the nerve cells, the brain interprets the stimulus as itchy, the research found.
Eleven authors from the Hopkins school of medicine: Xinzhong Dong, Liang Han, Qin Liu, Hao-Jui Weng, Zongxiang Tang, Yushin Kim, Kush Patel, Zhe Li, Benjamin McNeil, Shaoqiu He and Yun Guan. Other contributing authors were four researchers from Yale University and two from Sichuan University in China.
Stage of research:
The findings were published Dec. 23 in the journal Nature Neuroscience. After homing in on the itch-specific nerve receptors, the researchers found that after killing those nerve cells, scratching responses were reduced to varying degrees when the mice were exposed to itchy stimuli. They eventually found that injecting capsaicin, the chili pepper component responsible for a burning sensation, into the cheeks of genetically altered mice prompted them to scratch, whereas normal mice massaged themselves to relieve the sensation.
If the findings can be replicated in humans, it could be a step toward targeting itchiness, a common side effect of some life-saving medications. Morphine and anti-malaria drug chloroquine, for example, are known to cause chronic itchiness that can cause some patients to give up on treatment.

Bloomberg News Kills All Credibility: Kills Story Critical Of China, Fires Reporter Who Reveals This Fact
from the who-would-trust-them-again? dept
In the call late last month, Mr. Winkler defended his decision, comparing it to the self-censorship by foreign news bureaus trying to preserve their ability to report inside Nazi-era Germany, according to Bloomberg employees familiar with the discussion.Apparently, the main story that was killed was by reporter Michael Forsythe, who had been working on it for nearly a year. And, oh yeah, it was scheduled to run the very same month that Bloomberg's CEO was "visiting China to strengthen business ties between the media-sensitive country and the financial services company." I'm sure that's a coincidence.
And... once the NY Times broke the story, Bloomberg fired Forsythe. Perhaps the firing isn't too surprising: revealing to a competing publication embarrassing information about your own publisher self-censoring to appease China (and justifying it by positively calling up images of appeasing Hitler) probably means you're going to lose your job. But, of course, the way to have built back at least some credibility after the news was revealed would have been to admit the mistake and let Forsythe publish the story. As it stands now, any reporting from Bloomberg should be automatically seen as suspect, as the editor-in-chief has admitted that he will appease local governments to keep them happy, and the reporting is expected to reflect that sort of propaganda-happy posture.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Weight Loss
From the effects of the hormone cortisol to the role of genetics in weight loss, this category is packed with everything that you need to know about losing weight the healthy way.
Even though this has been the motto for most adults approaching this transition in their lives, new studies are revealing that certain behaviors—including watching TV and eating potato chips—are some of the major culprits of our widening waistlines.
"This study took men and women who ranged between the ages of 33-60, and followed them for four years," says Carrie Wissemeier, a Registered Dietitian and one of the lead dietitians for bistroMD. "During this time period, adults who ate one single serving of potato chips gained weight faster and more rapidly. In fact, the potato chips were associated with 1.7 pounds of extra weight gained per year, within this four year time frame."
With this new research, and with health professionals questioning the habits of people who experience middle-age weight gain, our dietitian explains the science behind this recent study, and how you can avoid middle-age weight gain.
Eat More, or Eat Less?
"The great thing about this study is that it actually revealed that eating less is not the most effective way to lose weight," says Carrie. "What this study showed is that you can still eat larger portions, they just need to be servings of the right foods."
In this study, certain foods appeared to help fight off weight gain.
The study, which is featured in the upcoming edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, used data from three large government-funded studies over a 20 year period to determine what foods contributed most to middle-age weight gain.
"When it comes to eating during middle age, it isn't always about moderation," says Carrie. "And, your lifestyle behaviors can also contribute just as much to your weight gain as the food you consume."
One of the key things revealed in this study is that processed foods should be avoided.
"The bad thing about processed foods is that they tend to be high in sodium, bad sugars, carbohydrates, and fats," says Carrie. "Processed foods are also low in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals."
When it comes to carbohydrates, it's the simple ones you should avoid, as they can be starchy and problematic.
"This study reveals that adults who ate foods with simple carbohydrates, like potato chips, had an average yearly increase in their weight gain of about two pounds," says Carrie. "This calculation also takes into account a lack of physical activity."
When it comes to eating more or eating less, the key is to make sure you are satisfied with your portions, but that your meals are properly balanced with the right nutrients.
"Your meals should be balanced with protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats," says Carrie. "This is especially important during middle age, as the biological changes taking place in your body can influence the efficiency of your metabolism."
Practice a Healthy Lifestyle
"Many of the people in this study were shown just how fast weight gain can catch up to them," says Carrie. "This is due to the fact that many of the participants engaged in daily habits that contributed to their weight gain."
People who ate high-starchy foods, and neglected physical activity in this study gained an average of 3.4 pounds per year due to these choices.
Most of this weight gain was actually contributed to not exercising, and too much time spent in front of the television.
"For each additional hour of TV watched, the participants gained an extra one-third of a pound every four years," says Carrie.
The study also found that those who slept for less than six hours per night, or more than eight, experienced an increase in weight gain.
Oversleeping or not getting enough rest can have a big impact on your weight. This is especially true when it comes to abdominal fat retention.
"Physical inactivity, combined with little or too much sleep can lead to abdominal weight gain," says Carrie. "When this happens, your risk of developing conditions like heart disease and diabetes increases significantly."
In conjunction with a healthy diet, exercise is vitally important. Participants in this study who exercised regularly actually gained as much as 1.76 fewer pounds than expected.
"Successful weight loss is all about knowing what kinds of foods to eat," says Carrie. "This, in combination with an effective exercise plan, will help you lose weight and keep it off, especially during middle age."
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

Steve Halverson
Judith Solano, Bruce Taylor
Chair Twomey called the meeting to order. He said the meeting would be in two parts, business as usual followed by a budget workshop. He asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was offered by Trustee Douglas, seconded by Trustee Kendrick, and approved unanimously.
Chair Twomey asked Vice President Gonzalez to discuss increases to the housing rates. Dr. Gonzalez said the University was requesting approval of the housing rates for 2006-2007. He indicated the breakdown for the different housing complexes; supplemental charges, which included a new charge for storage; and history of increases in the trustees' packets. He said this year the University was asking for a 3.8 percent increase.Chair Twomey asked about the process for discussion with the various constituents and whether there was any disagreement with the increase. Vice President Gonzalez replied that his office had developed a calendar to guide the University through the process. A market analysis had been conducted to make sure that the cost of University housing would be competitive with the local market and with other universities. He had met with student government and reviewed and presented the increases to the Auxiliary Oversight Committee and then to the president for approval prior to bringing the recommendations to the Finance and Audit Committee. Chair Twomey asked if there had been any significant controversy or if Dr. Gonzalez felt there was consensus. Dr. Gonzalez believed there was consensus and Mr. Foran, the new president of Student Government, confirmed that the student body was in agreement with the changes.
Trustee Abdullah asked if the changes were covered by financial aid. Dr. Gonzalez said his office worked very closely with both the Financial Aid Office and the Office of Enrollment Services to ensure that such changes were always covered by financial aid; these two offices were at the table from the beginning of deliberations. Trustee Taylor asked how UNF tracked for housing costs when compared to other universities nationally. Dr. Gonzalez assured him that the University's fees were competitive. President Delaney added that housing at UNF was usually better than housing at other institutions. Mr. Foran agreed.
Trustee Douglas motioned to recommend approval of the changes. Vice Chair Kendrick seconded the motion and the committee approved it unanimously.
Dr. Khan said that the committee had offered suggestions about strengthening the charter and responsibilities for the FAC during the last meeting. He went over the suggested changes, highlighted in blue in the revised documents. He noted the change to the name of the office, from Office of the Inspector General to the Office of Internal Auditing, remarking that the new name was more user friendly. Chair Twomey said the change was in line with current business practices. Dr. Khan added that it was also in line with practices at other universities.
In terms of mission, Dr. Khan said Internal Auditing was responsible to support the president, vice presidents, and the BOT. He said that for reporting University administration believed it would be better to have the president select the director of Internal Auditing in consultation with or with the approval of the FAC. This practice was also consistent with practices at other universities and helped to assure the independence of the office.
Trustee Kendrick asked about some of the processes used to do risk assessment within the University. Dr. Khan said he thought the document captured all the points she made in the previous meeting. She said the most important thing was to keep the president and the BOT through the FAC apprised of any activities that might have a negative impact on University finances. Dr. Khan noted that professional standards were an important requirement and were the essential standards the University had to abide by, adding that the University would have a code of ethics as well.
There was some discussion about the need for the committee chair and at least some members to have a financial background in order to serve on the committee. Chair Twomey said he was concerned that if the requirement was defined too strictly it would be impossible to meet. President Delaney agreed that it could be difficult to meet the requirement; companies were able to recruit board members whereas the University board members weree appointed. Trustee Solano recommended using the same language from Vice President Shuman's document in the FAC responsibilities in order to be consistent. Chair Twomey observed that the document did say "when possible," which allowed some leeway in application of the requirement. Asking about other universities, Trustee Kendrick wished to know if they had incorporated documents similar to the one outlining the FAC responsibilities. Dr. Khan replied that FSU had adopted a similar document and said he would supply it in response to Ms. Kendrick's request. Vice President Shuman noted that UNF had not examined practices from other SUS universities in particular, going by what the committee and the board wanted, which was best practices. These were taken from a variety of sources. Chair Twomey said he felt the document was soft enough in its statements of requirements to allow the meeting of the requirements.
Remarking that Sarbanes-Oxley suggested periodic updating and training for board members, President Delaney asked that an item to that effect be added for BOT members who were interested in pursuing it. Dr. Khan said he would include it. Chair Twomey mentioned the possibility of providing the training in house.
Trustee Abdullah moved to recommend the documents with the changes. Trustee Kendrick seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously by the committee.
Regarding improved internal controls, Vice President Shuman said that after the last meeting a group from her office developed a set of best practices for non-profits culled from various places including Sarbanes-Oxley, taking what made sense for UNF as a university. She said the state Auditor General's Office currently audited the financials annually and performed an operational audit every two years. The University had DSO oversight through the DSO auditors, and internal auditing on an ongoing basis. Tax Form 990 was employed and the president signed a management letter relative to management's responsibility.
Chair Twomey said that while top management for his company had been signing management letters forever, the company had begun having letters signed for upper management as well. Ms. Shuman said the University might want to have them from the provost and vice presidents as well. Chair Twomey said he thought that was fine, when someone was asked to sign a management letter, it was only for things the person could reasonably answer for; for example, the provost would not be asked to make a statement about finances.
Continuing, Ms. Shuman said the University was in the process of proposing a code of ethics. Trustee Solano asked if the code of ethics would include faculty. Dr. Khan said it would and that the intention was to vet it through faculty. Trustee Solano said she would like to be involved. Ms. Shuman said that was fine and that the code was still in the drafting process and then would go out to all the associations. Trustee Kendrick asked if training or sign-off would be required on an annual basis. Dr. Khan said that had not been decided but could be done. University administration had talked about having a national expert talk or having sign-off every couple of years. Trustee Douglas said this was something the FAC could also do, suggesting that all members be required to attend a training or refresher of some sort every year, perhaps a half-day session. Chair Twomey recommended the refresher/training be provided online.
Vice President Shuman said the University was also looking at what would make sense to expand in regard to background checks. She said more work was still needed on conflicts of interest and ethics. Chair Twomey asked if the FAC needed to adopt the improved internal controls. Ms. Shuman replied that it was for information only, to let trustees know where the University was in the process of developing more stringent internal controls. In response to a question from Vice Chair Kendrick, Ms. Shuman said a schedule for retention and destruction of sensitive records was in place, though it was not posted online as the guidelines changed so often. Trustee Kendrick asked about the retention of emails. President Delaney responded that emails only needed to be kept if they contained substantive business, but it was up to the discretion of the person looking at them. Dr. Serwatka added that all emails were backed up, but it was much harder to locate a specific email that way.
As of April 30, 2005, there was $1.5 million more in investments over cash in the bank. In response to a question from Chair Twomey, she said the interest was allocated based on the amount of cash per fund.
She said her office was projecting about $2.5 million in interest, some of which would flow into E & G. Trustee Douglas asked about the bonds the University had invested in and Ms. Shuman replied that they were variable bonds. She had provided the information to show that the University was receiving returns from investments more than the University was paying in bonds for parking and housing.
Regarding the budget report, Vice President Shuman said it looked a little different. She said Trustee Halverson had been asking for projections reflecting where the different units were going to be at the end of the year. She said the units should be at 83 percent of their budgets at the end of April. She noted that the Academic Affairs budget would be at more than 83 percent as the colleges had finished the spring semester and were, in essence, done for the year budgetarily as funding for summer had not yet been allocated. She said the projected amounts would change in the next couple of months because of things like collective bargaining with the faculty union, which would change the reserves. President Delaney added that the University had reserved money in case some of the dollars for that agreement, such as faculty pay raises, were retroactive to the previous fiscal year. He said that the philosophical differences between the union and administration looked deep at this point so the money would probably remain reserved for a little longer. Vice President Shuman said the University did not expect any budgetary issues. Responding to a question from President Delaney, the committee said they liked the format for the report.
Vice President Shuman said the University did not receive any comments, there were no findings, regarding Florida Bright Futures so no action was required; the report was for informational purposes only.
Before discussing the photo lab, Ms. Shuman noted that the state Auditor General came to UNF every two years for an operational audit. She said the University was currently in the midst of such an audit.
Though nothing material had yet been found, the auditor had mentioned reporting to the BOT. While the board had always received the list of capital outlay projects funded by PECO, CITF, Courtelis, and Auxiliary Funds, the information had not been provided in a consolidated manner. The auditors had indicated that an annual capital outlay budget should be provided to the board. She said a complete outlay budget for 2005-2006 would be provided at the June 6 workshop.
Vice Chair Shuman said the photo lab item had been discussed at previous meetings and this item was to keep trustees up to date. The photo lab was currently housed in Building 3 but the Office of Environmental Health and Safety recommended that it be moved as soon as possible. Money had originally been slated for Building 3 but some of it had been moved to the Library project. The amount left was not been enough to do what was necessary at this time. The decision now was that the best alternative was to add the lab to the Fine Arts Center complex as a separate building.
Trustee Douglas moved to recommend the building addition and Trustee Kendrick seconded the motion. The recommendation was approved unanimously and the committee's business was concluded.
President Delaney said the PowerPoint presentation would cover a couple different pieces: reallocations and how the University proposed to allocate new moneys from the Legislature in accordance with the strategic plan. Trustee Douglas asked for President Delaney's overall evaluation and objectives for the proposed budget. President Delaney responded that he was very happy with the budget and thought it would do much to help meet goals for quality faculty and students and for the University's physical plant. He said that of ten elements of the strategic plan, the University would be able to advance on all of them. In reply to another question from Trustee Douglas, he said he did not foresee glaring weaknesses in the budget.
Chair Twomey asked Vice President Shuman to begin the presentation. She said the budget allowed UNF to fund some new initiatives and to continue initiatives from the previous year. The University had moved to have justification of each unit's base budgets, resulting in reallocations within the institution. Some of the reallocations were from the vacancy pool. Departments were asked to consider what they really needed. As a result, positions were reclassified or eliminated to save money or redirect it toward other goals and other positions were changed/and or moved from one department to another based on student ratios, as in the case of advisors, or needs of the department. A new department, the One-Stop Shop Student Services Center, was created under Enrollment Services to better meet student needs, taking staff positions from each unit of that department.
Under Information Technology Services' budget submission, monies were reallocated to pay for new software licenses, expanded coverage of virus protection systems, licenses for on-demand client software, and from training in one unit to training for two other units with limited training budgets. Forty-five thousand was redirected from the University Center E & G budget to other departments and the President's Office reduced its budget, reallocating $16,452 of its operating expense funds to support two administrative units: the General Counsel's office, to support additional operating expenses and improved technology for data storage and retrieval, and the Office of the Internal Auditor.
In new resources, E & G for 2004-2005 was over $98 million and annualization of health and retirement benefits came to $514,736, for a total of $98,611,596 in the 2005/2005 E & G allocation. For new allocations, enrollment growth was funded at $4,854,267; a tuition increase of 5% came to $1,239,311; for changes in the in-state/out-of-state mix and 2004-2005 discretionary fees, $288,579 was allocated; and $537,310 was allotted for an adjustment for plant operations and maintenance for the Library expansion. The total for new funding is $6,919,467; therefore the 2005/2006 E & G allocation is $105,531,063. Ms. Shuman noted that the Legislature had authorized a tuition increase of up to 5 percent for in-state undergraduate with tuition flexibility on graduate and out-of-state. The budget was based on only the 5 percent increase, as discussed in previous meetings.
Vice President Shuman spoke of the funds held in reserve. Three percent of the budget was held back for possible enrollment shortfall or state call back. Funds were also reserved for employee termination costs, tuition waiver costs, utilities and major equipment, and for possible retroactive increases to faculty salaries upon the successful conclusion of collective bargaining.
Monies were allotted for student learning initiatives such as transformational activities including international travel, service learning, and research; maintaining reasonable faculty student ratios by adding thirty-five new faculty positions; and to provide funding for costs associated with the Fine Arts Center for E & G related events such as recitals. In response to question from Trustees Abdullah about funding events at the Fine Arts Center, President Delaney said that student groups felt they couldn't afford the facility so the line had been created to offset the cost to encourage student access and make sure the facility would not go unused.
Ms. Shuman went over the new FTE assignments and new faculty assigned to each college to support the new FTE and keep student to faculty ratios down. Chair Twomey asked for a column showing the percentage of increase for FTE assignments as well as the total amount allotted; he gave the College of Health as an example, stating that it had received the largest increase. Vice President Shuman also spoke of changes to the student to advisor ratio. In addition to two positions that were reallocated, five more advisors were added to even out the student to advisor ratios – particularly for advising for freshmen and sophomores, the Coggin College of Business, Arts and Sciences, and the College of Health.
Regarding flagship programs, President Delaney said each college had nominated possible programs along with the estimated cost and plans for how to establish the programs nationally. President Delaney expected to have decided upon two of the programs within the next few weeks. Vice President Shuman, replying to Trustee Taylor, said that $1, 250,000 of these funds would be recurring, including $1 million allocated from the previous year.
In discussing research and scholarship, Ms. Shuman said she was proud to say that the University was fully operational on the Florida LambdaRail. To support it, $150,000 was included in the budget. She said Sponsored Research would contribute 6 percent of the administration overhead fee to help support the LambdaRail. Monies had been put forward for the Environmental Center for new environmental programming, and funding had also been set aside for the nurse anesthetist program, nursing faculty, and for a coordinator for alumni events and stewardship.
A number of initiatives had been funded for students, including merit scholarships, increases in financial aid, extended Library hours, a parents' program coordinator, a disability resource position, expanded wireless access, and implementation of the new One-Stop Shop. Initiatives had also been enacted toward the strategic plan goal of quality faculty. These included salary increases, most likely based on merit, above the state provided 3.6 percent, transportation subsidy, and faculty international grants. Funding toward the goal of quality staff included the transportation subsidy and most likely merit-based salary increases above the 3.6 percent expected from the state.
Vice President Shuman went over additional funding for the master plan. Four more groundskeepers were to be hired, as well as one custodial worker to help improve the look of the grounds. Monies were also set aside for campus improvements. Renovations were planned for the Robinson Theatre including renovations to allow films to be shown there. Also as part of the master plan, funding was made available for information technology security measures, technology replacement, and two C-tech positions, as well as an increase in utilities.
The University was funding a new position in Institutional Advancement and an associate provost to conduct program reviews and assess measures for the strategic plan.
Trustee Douglas asked if Vice President Allaire's office could undertake obtaining funding for specific tasks such as more advisors, etc. Both Vice Chair Kendrick and Trustee Abdullah asked about the quality of advisors and ensuring the qualifications of those chosen. Provost Giordano confirmed that this was of high concern for students, who wanted a nurturing relationship from advisors as well as appropriate advice.
Trustee Foran noted that there had been a great deal of improvement in the two years since his arrival at UNF.
Chair Twomey complimented Vice President Shuman on the budget presentation, stating that there had been a dramatic leap forward in the process both this year and the year before. Trustee Abdullah said she was concerned about the lack of students interested in careers in education. She said she would like to discuss ways to involve students as well as attempts to talk with the community about the problem.
President Delaney observed that the issue would not show up in the budget, but said it was a statewide discussion. He said the BOG had asked the individual universities how to address the problem. He noted that universities had no control over the pay scale for teachers, which contributed to the lack of student interest. Trustee Abdullah spoke of the possibility of sending recruiters to high schools or offering grants, etc., to interest students in the high need area.
There was some discussion regarding merit versus need based scholarships. President Delaney said he would bring the figures to show where the university was in relation to both types of scholarships.
Vice President Shuman presented a schedule of budgets for the auxiliary funds. She explained the need for specific reserves, some of which was earmarked for specific projects. Chair Twomey said he would like to see further explanation of the reserves.
The group also talked about the difference between student advising, provided by advisors, and mentoring, which was provided by faculty. Dr. Serwatka passed out the latest version of the strategic plan, stating that the Board would discuss the plan at the June BOT meeting. He asked the committee members to bring their suggestions or comments to that meeting. Vice President Shuman said she wanted to thank all the vice presidents and their staff as well as Ricky Arjune for putting together the information for the presentation. Chair Twomey complimented them on the work and adjourned the meeting.

BRISTOL, Tenn. - The scoreboard at Parks Field Monday was working as hard as the Tornado soccer team as King College posted a 19-1 NCCAA Mid-East Region Tournament opening round victory over visiting Tennessee Temple University.
King, the event's No. 3 seed, advances to play No. 2 seed Campbellsville (Ky.) University Friday in Lookout Mountain, Ga. The Tornado will take a 6-11-1 record into the match against a 15-5 Campbellsville squad that reached the Mid-South Conference semifinals. King and Campbellsville both had played Tennessee Temple this season as Campbellsville posted a 7-0 win on the squad. Tennessee Wesleyan also appeared on both schedules, King won 4-1 while Campbellsville lost 3-0.
The 19 goals are a record under the direction of 12th-year head coach Matt Lavinder. Before Monday's contest King had only scored 29 goals in the previous 17 matches. The Tornado posted seven goals on rival Virginia Intermont College on Sept. 25. The single-match high for any NCCAA team this season was a 13 goal effort by two squads. King was just two goals away from tying the NCAA Division II record of 21 goals by the University of District of Columbia on Oct. 31, 2001. The Tornado's 49 points was under Lincoln Memorial (Tenn.) University's 56 points on Sept. 24, 2006. The 19 goals were more than 10 NCCAA Division I teams had scored all season.
When it comes to NCAA Division II ranks, the 19 goals rank third and the most since 2006, an 18-goal effort by Lincoln Memorial (Tenn.) University which set the NCAA Division II record for points at 56 and assist with 20. In the second half King booted home three goals in a 1:50 span which is the second quickest mark for three scores in NCAA Division II history.
In all 10 different Tornado players scored which was more than the total goals of King's 7-0 win over Virginia Intermont.
Tom Winspear (Yarm, England) and Zach Caracciolo (Clarksville, Tenn.) both scored four goals apiece with two assists each. The four goals ties the season high by a Tornado player as Winspear had two four-goal efforts earlier in the season. Joe Mayer (Essex, England) had three goals as well.
David Eagan (Huntsville, Ala.) scored two goals off the bench.
James Langlois (Oakville, Canada) provided a season-best three assists and a goal.
Richard Masters (Kent, England) played the first half in goal for King with one save. He reentered the game as a forward and scored a goal and added an assist later.
Pete Griffith (Ballyclare, Northern Ireland) and Jesse Cheers (Bristol, Va.) each chalked up a goal and assist.
Colby Childress (Huntsville, Ala.) and Josh Feener (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) both scored a goal.
Erik Douglas (Asheville, N.C.) added an assist early in the contest.
King used 20 shots in the first half for seven goals. A dozen Tornado scores were posted with just 19 shots.
The Tornado's longest scoring drought of the match was just under 19 minutes in the middle of the second half. King scored two goals in the opening 75 seconds of the second half. After the three scores in 1:50, King had back-to-back scores in just 68 seconds towards the end of the match.
Tennessee Temple's lone goal came from Timothy Ward as he booted home the score off a corner kick that bended into the net with just seconds left. Tennessee Temple's season came to end at 4-14.

The following is a Press Release from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries:
An Oakdale man pleaded guilty to cruelty of animal charges in Allen Parish's 33rd Judicial District Court on Oct. 6.
Judge Joel Davis sentenced David Beauchemin, 43, to two years of jail with one year suspended and a $1,000 fine that must be paid within 60 days of being released from prison or he will serve the suspended year of jail. Beauchemin will receive credit for time served since May and was booked into the Allen Parish Jail. Beauchemin pleaded guilty to aggravated and simple cruelty to animals.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division agents cited David Beauchemin and his wife Tawni Beauchemin, 23, on March 20, 2010, for cruelty to animals and failing to have permits for constrictor snakes over 12 feet.
The Allen Parish Sheriff's Office (APSO) executed a search warrant at the Beauchemin's residence on March 19. The search warrant was issued after the APSO received a public complaint alleging the Beauchemin's were illegally selling animals on the Internet. The Beauchemin's residence was portrayed as a safe haven animal shelter. After executing the search warrant, the APSO contacted LDWF about the pythons found in the residence.
The snakes were seized by LDWF agents and then forfeited to the state following the guilty plea. LDWF found a suitable place for the snakes at the Glade Herps Farm located in Bushnell, Fla. during the criminal trial period. Following the forfeiture, LDWF has agreed to let the Glade Herps Farm become the permanent owners of the snakes.
On Sept. 2, 2010, David Beauchemin failed to appear in Allen Parish Court for arraignment and a bench warrant was issued. In April 2011, David Beauchemin was arrested in Texas and found to be in possession of numerous constrictor snakes after a traffic stop. David Beauchemin was extradited to Allen Parish in May 2011.
Tawni Beauchemin, was originally charged along with her husband and still has outstanding warrants, but her whereabouts are unknown and she currently has the status of a fugitive.
The public complaint was issued after somebody gave the Beauchemin's a dog for safe haven only to find it listed on the Internet a few days later for sale.

Panthers top Lightning in SO
Tampa, FL – Peter Mueller had the lone goal in the shootout to lift the Florida Panthers to a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Jacob Markstrom had 39 saves andstopped shootout attempts by Teddy Purcell, Victor Hedman and Steven Stamkos for the Panthers, who have won three straight on the heels of a three-game skid.
"To me, (Markstrom) was the player of the game," Panthers head coach Kevin Dineen said. "There were some quality opportunities and Markstrom stood tall when we needed him."
Greg Rallo and Tomas Kopecky tallied, while T.J. Brennan had two assists in the win.
Tom Pyatt and Alex Killorn lit the lamp and Purcell added two helpers for the Lightning, who have dropped four of their last six contests. Mathieu Garon stopped 23 shots in defeat.
"We certainly outshot them and out-chanced them, but their goalie stood tall," Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said.
Although they were outshot 24-18 after two periods, the Panthers had a 2-0 lead, but Tampa Bay netted two in the first ten minutes of the third to tie the score.
Pyatt tipped one home as Purcell slipped a quick pass to Pyatt from the right circle and Pyatt tipped it home. Killorn put in a rebound five minutes later to knot the tilt.
The Panthers had a power-play goal in each of the first two periods.
Kopecky tipped home Brennan's slap shot from the top of the right circle at the 8:36 mark of the first, while Rallo scored in similar fashion as he nipped home another Brennan slap shot from the right circle.
Game Notes
Florida finished 2-for-3 on the power play ... The Lightning were 0-for-3 on the man advantage ... Kopecky's goal was his 13th of the season.

For the second year in a row, students from Andrews University's School of Architecture Urban Design Studio were recognized by the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU) with a Charter Award of Excellence. The Charter Awards program is unique in its emphasis on the entirety of the built and natural environment—from the function and sustainability of regions to the fine-grain architectural details that help strengthen people's ties to a place over time.
This year, 26 fifth-year Andrews University architecture students were awarded for their work in Michigan City, Ind. As the only academic winner among 15 awards this year, the work won "unanimous praise from jurors and favorable comparisons to many of the professional submissions," according to a press release from the CNU.
In Michigan City, the students engaged local citizens, officials and agencies in an eight-day public charrette in order to identify local growth patterns, places worth preserving, available resources, and desirable yet feasible growth strategies for a revitalization plan. The results were a set of goals for possible future redevelopment. The studio and charrette were led by Assistant Professors Andrew von Maur and Troy Homenchuk.
According to a CNU press release, the project casts needed attention on economically depressed Michigan City, Ind., showing it how to capitalize on its valuable urban form and Lake Michigan location. A final summary PDF of the project proposal is available at www.andrewsurbandesign.org.
The project was received very favorably by the Michigan City community. Mayor Chuck Oberlie and Councilman Richard Murphy are already working towards implementation of a number of key proposals.
Last year, students were given the award for creating a development plan for the city of Saucier, Miss., which was eventually adopted with a zoning ordinance by the county.

1948 Bowman Basketball Complete Set (72)
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $1,880
Complete set of 1948 Bowman Basketball includes #69 George Mikan, the king of all basketball cards. The 1948 Bowman Basketball series is particularly significant as this was the first set ever issued devoted exclusively to basketball. The George Mikan card in this set is widely recognized as the most sought-after and valuable of all basketball cards. This 1948 issue was the only basketball set Bowman ever produced. Cards from this set are extremely hard to find in high grade in part because these cards (like 1949 Bowman baseball) often naturally have soft corners due to the quality of the paper stock on which they are printed. We have selected seven cards to be graded and encapsulated by SGC. Keys: #1 Calverley RC (EX/NM 80), 9 Phillip RC (HOF, Ex-Mt), 10 Davies RC (HOF, Vg-Ex), 32 Holzman RC (HOF, encapsulated Authentic due to irregular handcut), 34 Fulks RC (HOF, VG/EX 50), 37 Carlson (Vg-Ex), 38 Jeanette RC (HOF, Ex), 43 Halbert RC (gray color variation, irregular handcut), 46 McKinney RC (gray color variation, irregular handcut), 48 Sadowski RC (gray color variation, irregular handcut), 52 Simmons RC (gray color variation, irregular handcut), 54 Palmer RC (blue color variation, irregular handcut), 55 Zaslofsky RC (EX/NM 80), 58 Risen RC (HOF, Ex), 66 Pollard RC (HOF, blue color variation encapsulated Authentic due to irregular handcut), 69 Mikan RC (HOF, blue color variation encapsulated Authentic due to irregular handcut), and 72 Braun RC (gray color variation encapsulated Authentic due to irregular handcut). Twenty-four additional color variations and irregular handcuts: #39 (Blue), 40 (Blue), 41, 42, 44 (Gray), 45 (Blue), 47, 49 (Blue), 50 (Blue), 51 (Blue), 53, 56 (Blue), 57 (Gray), 59, 60 (Blue), 61 (Gray), 62, 63, 64 (Blue), 65, 67 (Gray), 68 (Gray), 70 (Gray), and 71. The balance of the cards which are not hand-cut range from Vg-Ex to Ex-Mt (with a few slightly lesser). As advanced collectors are well aware, 1948 Bowman basketball cards occasionally surface missing the red or blue coloring. It is believed that simple printing errors are responsible for these color variations, and that the "gray back" variations in 1948 Bowman basketball, as well as 1949 Bowman baseball (which have a very similar design), are the result of cards not going through an ink process, or the printing machines running out of ink. Twenty-three cards from this set would seem to confirm this theory, as the red is missing, and there is just a hint of weakening of color in a few areas of the blue backgrounds. All of these cards appear to have long ago been very carefully hand-cut from sheets. Most otherwise have a very strong appearance, in many cases appearing EX. Many of the color variations in this set are particularly desirable to variation collectors. While there is no way for us to be certain, we believe these were never actually issued in packs. A small quantity of these error sheets was probably given to neighborhood kids or saved from the trash at the Bowman factory in Philadelphia, and later hand-cut and long ago dispersed throughout the collecting community. (We know this to be the case with 1949 Bowman baseball sheets, firsthand from collectors who were around in 1949.) In fact, we would be surprised if all of these rare color variation cards did not long ago originate from Philadelphia area collectors who neatly cut them from sheets. The reverse of each card is fully printed. This is the first and only basketball set Bowman ever issued. It apparently did not sell well, as Bowman never followed up with another basketball set. The set includes the rookie cards of all of the major stars of the era. The 1948 Bowman Basketball is well known for production-quality issues, making the assembling of high-quality sets particularly challenging. This is a very attractive, clean, mid-grade complete set of this significant basketball issue, including many unusual color variations. Total: 72 cards. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000+. SOLD FOR $1,880

- Besides the the location situated on a bike/walking path, I love the easy flow of the house. It's long and narrow, but somehow it works and because of the high ceilings and natural light, it always feels spacious.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- I recently downsized from a much bigger house, so getting rid of 'stuff' was slightly overwhelming. I really had to edit, edit, edit. I had to give up some things I really loved, but had no place for. Also, since the house is cinderblock, hanging things on the wall is a serious commitment! It requires drills and levels and patching...I've become quite the handyman though!

Google and Dish Network were in talks to launch a new wireless service, according to a report from The Wall St. Journal. People familiar with the discussions said the service would "rival the networks of wireless carriers such as AT&T and Verizon." A source said the talks could amount to nothing, but what would happen if they made a deal?
Dish Network acquired wireless spectrum back in 2008 and 2011, but they are waiting on the Federal Communications Commission to allow it to be used for a ground-based cellphone network. A ruling could finally come next year, so Dish Network is talking with several partners that would "like to be in the industry" and "currently don't have a wireless business."
Don't get too excited, because it would take a long time for a new network to be built. If the FCC grants Dish Network their request, analyst predict it will take "three to five years before Dish and its partners could roll out a nationwide wireless network." Dish has previously said that they want to launch an LTE Advanced network by 2016.
Previous court documents revealed that Google wanted to offer a $9.99 unlimited data plan for Android phones, but nothing ever came of that. Google is already offering free Internet with their new Google Fiber service, so it would be interesting to see what kinds of deals they would offer for wireless service.
Google appears to be frustrated with the US carriers, so we expect they will continue to want control of their own wireless spectrum. If Google can't agree on a deal with Dish Network, expect them to keep looking for other partners to launch a wireless network.

I recently had a discussion with an American coworker about text messages—or, as we say in Europe, SMS (Short Message Service). He told me that he never used text messages and he couldn't see why anybody would. However, my colleagues and I frequently use text messages to schedule appointments or just to exchange quick information when email isn't available. My coworker also didn't know about Microsoft Office Outlook 2007's Outlook Mobile Service (OMS), which lets you integrate Outlook's mobile capabilities with your mobile devices. So I decided it was time to write about this lesser known feature. I'll provide you a good overview of OMS and how to set it up, then next month I'll take a closer look at some of its features.
OMS was introduced with Outlook 2007. When you want to send a text (SMS) or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message, OMS encodes the mobile message as a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message and sends it to an OMS Web service provider such as IntelliSoftware or SMSOfficer. There are many OMS Web service providers available; when you configure OMS, you'll get the chance to select the most appropriate provider for your country or mobile operator and your budget. The Web service provider encodes the message and delivers it to the service provider's mobile message gateway, which sends it to the recipient's mobile device.
That's enough of the theory; let's see how to configure OMS in Outlook. To start, select Tools, Options from the Outlook menu. On the Preferences tab, in the Mobile section, click either Notifications or Mobile Options and a dialog box appears asking if you want to configure OMS; click Yes. In the Add New Outlook Mobile Service Account window, you'll find a link to a Microsoft Web page that acts as a wizard to help you find appropriate mobile service providers for your region. When you enter provider account information in the Add New Outlook Mobile Service Account window, the information is also added to the E-mail tab of Account Settings, which you can find on the Tools menu; you can also go to Account Settings to change any provider-related configuration later.
Generally, your OMS Web service provider gives you two options for text messages: Either you use your own mobile number as Sender ID for text messages or you use a service-provider-defined number to act as a relay between the sender or recipient and you. (Some providers also offer a Web client to access text messages.) I send text messages only from my Outlook client, and I want to receive all text messages on my mobile phone. You should carefully examine what items your mobile service provider offers to ensure they meet your requirements.
Overall, this setup process if fairly simple and straightforward. After you've configured OMS, you can create text messages in Outlook, forward email messages as text messages, and have reminders sent to you as text messages. I'll talk more about those features in next month's column.
Sigi's Outlook Internet Site of the Month
For all you Windows XP people out there, this month I found something that will ease your life with Outlook 2007: additional preview handlers for Windows XP. Gil Azar's Web page provides you with an Outlook 2007 add-on to preview message attachments—such as .zip, .swf, MP3, MPEG, HTML, and others—in Outlook 2007's preview pane on an XP machine. Microsoft provides some preview handlers for Windows Vista, but the handlers don't work on XP. If you run Office 2007 on XP, just install this add-on! Here's the link for installation instructions as well as to download the add-on.
As always, if you find a link for an interesting new freeware tool or add-on for Outlook, let me know! Send me a message at [email protected].

I am writing to you, as a concerned consumer, about two global trade agreements that are currently in negotiations: The Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Both of these trade agreements have the potential to seriously undermine U.S. Food safety regulations, and render both the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration and the U.S. government powerless to protect consumers from contaminated and unsafe, untested food products and food
I am deeply troubled that these two trade agreements, huge in scope and reach, are being negotiated behind closed doors, with no input from
the consumers, farmers and governments that will be most affected by their policies. Not even members of Congress have been allowed access to
the negotiations or draft texts. Yet negotiators have solicited input from more than 600 corporations and industry trade groups, all of whom place a higher value on shareholder value and profits, than on public health and safety, future sustainability of the world's food supply, or basic democratic principles.
Of even greater concern is the fact that plans call for "Fast Tracking" these agreements, which means effectively bypassing the U.S. democratic process and eliminating all reasonable checks and balances.
I am calling on you both to immediately grant access to all negotiating texts associated with these trade agreements, and open up all future negotiations to a full debate, by the public and by Congress.
And I respectfully ask that you halt plans to Fast Track these agreements, and instead subject them to our time-honored democratic process.
In an era where climate change has become a legitimate threat to the world's food supplies, we need to protect individual states' and countries rights to enact laws that allow them to protect local food
supplies. We should not be granting corporations the power to undermine governments' abilities to protect the public health of their citizens.

Fabrizio Zanotti triumphed in the first four-man play-off in BMW International Open history to win his first European Tour title in the most dramatic fashion on Sunday.
Zanotti, Henrik Stenson, Rafael Cabrera-Bello and Gregory Havret were all in with a shout of lifting the title after they could not be separated on 19 under par after the final round.
It took until the fifth extra hole for Zanotti to clinch it, with Havret and Cabrera-Bello bowing out on the second and fourth extra holes respectively.
It means that Zanotti is now the first golfer from Paraguay to win on the European Tour and improves his previous best finishes of runner-up in the 2009 Open de Espana, 2010 KLM Open and 2012 Irish Open.
Cabrera-Bello would have been the favourite in many eyes going into the titanic play-off tussle after notching an eagle and a birdie on the 17th and 18th holes already on Sunday.
But Zanotti was the only player out of the four leaders to avoid carding a bogey in the fourth round and he maintained that statistic when it mattered most.
"I have really been playing very well in the last few weeks so I knew that if I had a good round I would have a good chance," he told Sky Sports News.
"I have been working a lot and trying to bring up my confidence to get to this moment and finally I am here."
World number two Stenson had looked to be in control on the first extra hole, with a birdie in sight, but he missed to keep all four men in the hunt.
If the Swede was stewing over that opportunity as he walked back to the 18th tee he did not show it, finding an unlikely birdie to once again put the pressure on his rivals. Frenchman Havret became the first casualty, but the other two men rose to the challenge.
Stenson, who won the BMW International via a play-off in 2006, looked like he knew exactly what was required to win on the third extra hole, putting himself in position to make an eagle. But he just missed his putt and all three men birdied as rain started lashing down.
The start in Cologne had been brought forward due to forecasts for storms and there were fears it might interrupt the thrilling climax at one point.
Cabrera-Bello finally cracked on the fourth extra hole, finding the lake to bow out, while this time it was Zanotti's turn to wobble and miss a birdie opportunity after Stenson pitched to within a few feet of the pin from a difficult position.
Back on the 18th, Stenson followed Cabrera-Bello into the water while Zanotti fell short of the green but, crucially, managed to stay dry.
Stenson finally conceded after he was unable to make his shot from bunker fall to prompt celebrations from Zanotti.
Englishman Simon Dyson fell just short of getting involved in the exciting finale as he finished on 18 under par overall.
Dyson carded seven birdies in a fine fourth round, but was made to rue a bogey on the 12th hole that meant the play-off was agonisingly out of reach.
He was joined by Welshman Jamie Donaldson, who continued his fine form over the weekend with five birdies in a blemish-free final round.
Overnight leader Pablo Larrazabal slipped off the pace, dropping his first shots of the weekend with two bogeys on the ninth and 14th holes, as he fell two shots behind the four-strong leading pack.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

As CEO of Virtual Dynamics—a company that provides modeling, simulation and dynamic systems design in the field of mechatronics—Nicolas Venuti needs access to software that allows him to make prototypes quickly. His focus on innovation and research requires the ability to validate concepts without constantly reinventing the wheel.
Mathematica is a universal solution for Venuti that enables him to transfer, capitalize and share knowledge while drawing on decades of experience in computer science, covering all possible languages. Mathematica uniquely enables him to implement a document-centered approach and reuse existing content without starting each new project from scratch.
For Venuti, the benefits go beyond the ability to move from idea to prototype very quickly. Venuti and his team can also easily share knowledge with clients via Wolfram CDF Player. "We have references, formulas, graphs, technical drawings, parameters, statistical models and calculations available, and we can wrap everything in the same Mathematica notebook and export it to CDF so it's accessible even outside of Mathematica."

Athletic Bilbao and Spain striker Fernando Llorente is poised to sign for Juventus in July, the Serie A leaders' sporting director said on Monday.
The Italian champions have long been searching for a main striker and talks with Bilbao and Llorente have been going on for weeks with the option of signing the 27-year-old in January now unlikely.
"I'm optimistic on his contract. In any case, he will join Juve on July 1," Juve sporting director Beppe Marotta told Italian radio.
Llorente, a tall and powerful forward known as "the Lion King" for his mane of blond hair, has barely featured for Bilbao since announcing his intention to leave when his contract ends in June.
Juve are still being linked in Italian media with a January move for Shanghai Shenhua's Ivorian forward Didier Drogba as they look to shore up their title charge after a stuttering start to the year.

The ribbon interface raised quite a number of eyebrows around the world, with many wondering whether it would be wise to ditch the old established
garbled mess user interface of menus and toolbars in favour of something completely new. It was all additionally surprising as Microsoft generally isn't the company to change a winning team.
The design goal behind the ribbon interface was to more easily expose users to all the functionality of the various programs in Microsoft Office, without overwhelming them. The ribbon exposes functionality organised in sections, and these sections are then organised in tabs. The interface is also context-sensitive; an additional tab can appear when you are manipulating an object like a chart or picture, which contains editing controls specific to said element.
The revamped Office 2007 user interface drew praise all around the world, but at the same time, people who were too entrenched in the Office 2003-type UI were intimidated by it, and declared it a failure because they had to re-learn their ways. However, if you actually take the time, and have an open mind, I can't imagine it not becoming clear to you that the ribbon is miles ahead of any other office suite UI out there.
So, the OpenOffice.org guys over at Sun are working on prototyping a new user interface too [.odp]. They have more or less the same design goals as the Microsoft Office team had, and what do you know, they come up with prototypes that are about as close to the ribbon interface as you can get. They're also using tracking data, similar to how Microsoft tracked user data in an opt-in fashion. The OOo guys will make this data available to the community.
As you can see, this early prototype (it's a prototype, people!) shows an interface that is an almost exact copy of Microsoft's ribbon interface. As someone who loves the ribbon interface, I see this as a good thing - but I'm not so sure the larger community will agree with me. You can test a prototype, but it requires Java.
From here on out, the new interface will be tested with actual users, while also working on improving labelling and tool organisation. They still have a long way to go, but it's good to know the team is working on improving the user experience in OpenOffice.org.
