Hello all,
I have a flash based publication that I want to include in a drupal site. I think the only way to do this is with iframe. It is basically a flash-based ebook with two different flash movies that play one after another on two separate html pages. Generally we try to avoid iframes but these are pages that I have created myself and they are related. It would be no minor task to integrate them into one flash movie and try to embed that into an article or page. So, I was looking for the iframe support for drupal 7 and did not see it. Is iframe supported with fields in core?
Absolutely, there's a number
Absolutely, there's a number of ways you could do it. The easiest (IMHO) is to create a text box and then include your iframe code in the text box. You'll need to make sure the input format of the text box is configured to allow all HTML, otherwise it will not display the iframe.
There's also the iframe module, which hasn't been ported to D7 yet.
Alternately, you can just
Alternately, you can just change the input filter to something like "Full HTML", and paste the iframe code into the node body.
did that work?
I just tried that with a text field set to full html, and all it shows is the link, not the content...
nevermind, it works! :-)
nevermind, it works!
Configurate the Text Formats
for render iframes is important be sure that the text format selected (FULL HTML) was configurated for accept iframes here yoursite.com/admin/config/content/formats (Drupal 7)
Hédel Nuñez Bolívar
I created a simple module for it
For some reason, the full HTML was not working for me, so I created a simple module (without a hook) in it and it works:
function your-module-name_iframe()
return '<iframe src="URL" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
This would work in any block with PHP code enabled or a template suggestion, but you could also use hook_block_view() and hook_block_info() to create blocks o the fly.
For Drupal7, iframe can work
For Drupal7, iframe can work with Full HTML and PHP code with out even any iframe modules installed. There is also iframe filter available for Drupal 7 if full html and php doesn't work. (https://drupal.org/project/iframe_filter)
Src whitelist
For anyone still looking for a solution to this, there now is a submodule of WYSIWYG filter that lets you allow iframes from a whitelisted list of domains It is Src whitelist.

The default RDF/XML module is excellent, but not helpful for many Semantic Web users. The semantic web taxonomy standard in RDF is W3C's SKOS. SKOS is popular, many semantic web project support it, its the future, ...
We needed SKOS support for taxonomy_xml in the EU-funded research project "OrganiK" (http://organik-project.eu) and implemented it.
attached the skos_format.inc file embedded in a patch to now support SKOS.
we also had some changes to taxonomy_xml.module, but they are not necessary for you, anyway, registering the .inc should be enough (not part of the patch)
we tested it with various SKOS files and already fixed errors. It should work ... but not 100% sure.
we are interested to get this code into taxonomy_xml, but this is our first drupal.org contribution, so don't slap us too hard. I am willing to spare some time fixing bugs etc....
if there are issues, please bug me via email@example.com
Comment #1dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
Well first, this is a great contribution. SKOS has always been on the radar, and already some terminology and synonyms are supported for it.
What I don't know is where to find any specification or examples for how SKOS should formally be applied to taxonomy concepts! I know it could be used to talk about the same sort of ideas ... but I've never seen it do so!
So without a practical source or use-case, it's not been researched further.
So I'd be interested to see the spec you found or the examples you are working with!
As for the patch, it's a bit confusing. Visually it seems to be 90% identical to the RDF format. So much so that I can't tell what is unique about it! I'm thinking that a lot of my RDF-specific stuff could probably be removed from it - or if practical refactored into a few more common routines.
All I can see by looking is some stuff in taxonomy_xml_convert_triples_to_sorted_objects_skos() - but I can't see what it's trying to do.
If the SKOS files you are working with are so much like rdf (?), then what is the actual difference? Perhaps a small exception or change to the rdf format one will encompass SKOS OK too?
The RDF dialect I currently use is only following examples from the W3C (specifically the Wine ontology example) for representing taxonomies - but not an actual specification, as the working drafts at the time were in flux and contradictory.
PLEASE let me know the spec you are working to! I've deconstructed dozens of different syntaxes for taxonomies, and I wished there was better standard available. SKOS (when I researched it) was not complete enough at the time - but is certainly worth supporting as an option!
You'll need to attach a few examples (preferably with source/attribution) so I can test this more!
Comment #2dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
PS, looking at OrganiK - you may be interested in a taxonomy-server extension I'm building to support/extend taxonomy_xml. For distributed re-use of taxonomies via web services, an open way to read/write these taxa.
Comment #3dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
Let me know what data you are working on. I'm keen to absorb this, but don't yet know what it looks like.
Comment #6dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
OK, I've been through the code now and found what the difference is! It's useful.
Previously, I'd never found any useful input that actually used 'bnodes' - the internal, self-referential pseudo-ids, so I'd left out that part of the code. There was a big comment block there saying why I found it unhelpful at the time :-)
The Syntax and keywords of SKOS was already there and supported as I expected, which made things easy! I'd put them in years ago - but never had any content to feed them. When I fed it some content, all the values and structure fell into place, so that was fun to watch!
Because the concept of bnodes is part of RDF and the ARC parser, and not specific to SKOS, I've grabbed that paragraph of code and rolled it in to the appropriate place in RDF format. I suspected that what we really needed was a merge, because SKOS is RDF, so I didn't know what would not have been working for you...
Now I see it was because some of your inputs did not have any true rdf:about URIs in the files. All the examples I'd used so far did have URIs.
So I've got that in CVS-dev now. I've also preset a remote 'service' to load up the GCL (Government Category List) automatically, as a demonstration.
Thanks for those references, I like seeing if there is any progress out there. I'll have to look again at the SKOS status, and see whether there are enough real-world uses of it to support writing as well. Currently the RDF I produce follows the W3C recommendation instead, but SKOS now seems a little more well-rounded.
You can try out a fresh checkout of the dev branch. I haven't been able to do any regression testing yet.
Comment #7isaac77 CreditAttribution: isaac77 commented
Great module!
Any progress on SKOS? Just tested importing a large SKOS file based on the UNESCO thesaurus. Looks like most terms were imported, but hierarchy info (broader/narrow terms) was not preserved. The problem may be with the file I'm trying to import, will attempt further testing. In any case, ability to import SKOS would be useful addition to the module.
Comment #8dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
|Needs review
|» Fixed
SKOS is RDF The RDF format always supported SKOS.
Or at least should. THe patch here (that adds bnode support) was folded into the normal RDF parser within a week.
If there are problems reading any validatingpublicly available data sources, post a link to the file in question and I'll have a look.
Comment #10freedom7220 CreditAttribution: freedom7220 commented
who can tell me how can use this patch ?
Comment #11dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
SKOS is RDF
Therefore you should get results by importing SKOS-carrying imports as RDF-format.
If that's not happening, attach the example that is failing, and we'll validate it.

Author of The Sparrow (1996) and Children of God (1998), Russell has returned after a seven-year hiatus, swapping her trademark science fiction for the real-world horrors of World War II in this work of historical fiction. Set in northwest Italy during the last years of the war, the novel centers on one community's courageous resistance under German occupation. A Catholic priest, a Nazi deserter, German officers, and Jewish refugees all suffer personal dramas as history unfolds. Thread of Grace, based on five years of research, questions the horror of human capacity for evil while celebrating the compassion of the Italian citizens who saved 43,000 Jews by the end of the war.
Random House. 448 pages. $25.95. ISBN: 0375501843
Los Angeles Times
"Russell has succeeded in vividly and memorably evoking the hardships, dangers, sufferings and sorrows of wartime life in Nazi-occupied Italy in a somber, profoundly moving book that engages the heights and depths of human experience."
Merle Rubin
"… a feat of storytelling, ugly, and beautiful. It is also an important book. It needs to be widely read." Joanna Rose
Seattle Times
"[A] densely populated, well-plotted novel … thick with intersecting plots and characters—most of them both colorful and memorable. … Russell reportedly mirrored the role of chance in wartime survival by flipping a coin to decide which of her own characters would live or die." Melinda Bargreen
San Jose Mercury News
"Russell's characters were slow to come to life, and dialogue in the opening chapters was stiff. But as the pages rolled by, her people did come to life, without exception becoming more complex and more interesting. The writing, too, began to strike sparks." Mark Johnson
Plain Dealer
"A Thread of Grace is labeled a novel, but if it is, it is a novel without a plot. … The greatest disappointment in this deeply felt and compellingly written book is that it didn't show what made these people risk their lives to protect strangers."
John R. Alden
Critical Summary
In Thread of Grace, Russell—a Roman Catholic of Italian heritage who converted to Judaism—explores Italy's response to German occupation, the fate of its Jews, and the actions of individuals. The story, which shifts to different (and sometimes unrelated) characters and subplots, alienated a few critics. Most, however, found that the depth of characterization forged a cohesive narrative and created complex layers of emotion, history, and horror that aptly represent wartime. Reviewers also forgave the ambiguous motives that seemed to drive the characters, who exhibit extreme behavior, from selfless to evil. Yet, by the end, readers will understand the old Hebrew saying, "No matter how dark the tapestry God weaves for us, there's always a thread of grace."

Derek Jeter Is Retiring on His Own Terms, but Can He Go Out on Top?February 19, 2014
Derek Jeter made it official on Wednesday: Yes, he is retiring after 2014. Good luck trying to stop him, because it doesn't sound like the New York Yankees captain is going to pull a Brett Favre.
Why exactly is Jeter ready to walk away from baseball? There's still a shred of mystery there. But during a gathering with the media on Wednesday, it boiled down to the phrase of the day: "The time is right."
"There are other things I want to do. I look forward to doing other things," said the 39-year-old shortstop, via MLB.com. "This is a difficult job. I've put everything into it each and every year. It's a 12-month job. It's not a six-month season. It's 12 months...I'd like to [keep playing], but you can't do it forever."
The latter half of that statement feels like a reiteration of what Jeter said in his Facebook statement last week, in which he called the 2013 season "a tough one for me" during which he realized that "some of the things that always came easily to me and were always fun had started to become a struggle."
We all witnessed said struggle, of course, as Jeter was limited to just 17 games in 2013 thanks first to a balky left ankle that he first fractured in the 2012 postseason and then an assortment of other injuries. Never was it more apparent that he is not, after all, superhuman.
At no point, however, did anybody get Jeter to say he just can't play anymore. He said his left ankle was actually at 100 percent towards the end of 2013, and that he worked harder than ever this offseason to get ready for 2014.
"This has nothing to do with how I feel physically," he said, via Dan Martin of the New York Post. "I'm looking forward to playing a full season."
Beyond playing a full season in 2014, Jeter also indicated he thinks he can be the same player he was in 2012 when he hit .316 with an MLB-high 216 hits at the age of 38.
"No, I can't. This is it. I don't expect anything from myself this season," quipped Jeter to a chorus of chuckles when asked if he can be the player he was in 2012.
Then he got serious: "I expect each and every year to be successful. That's the bottom line. I expect to come out here, I expect to do my job, I expect to compete, I expect to help our team win. If my expectation levels ever changed, then I would have gone home a long time ago."
Somebody actually did ask Jeter about him going out on top in 2014, to which he quickly answered that it's about "us" going out on top. But the Yankees' odds of going out on top will be greatly increased if Jeter himself goes out on top with a classic Jeter season. You know, something like 2012.
And when reading between the lines, yeah, you do get the sense that he would like to do so. But can he?
Well, let's just say that calls for an honest discussion.
We were having basically this same discussion this time last year, when it was still possible that Jeter would be in Joe Girardi's Opening Day lineup. The question was simple: Did 2013 have a shot at being anything like 2012?
Frankly, it was a long shot then. Jeter was heading into his age-39 season, and history showed:
- Only seven 39-year-old shortstops had logged enough plate appearances to qualify for a batting title, according to Baseball-Reference.com.
- Only 21 39-year-olds had qualified while also maintaining a BABIP over .300.
- Only 10 qualified 39-year-olds had ever hit .300.
So yeah, Jeter being his 2012 self at the age of 39 in 2013 was highly unlikely. Now that he's heading into his age-40 season, him being his 2012 self is, not surprisingly, even more highly unlikely.
- The number of 40-year-olds who have made it through a season while regularly playing shortstop: only three.
- The number of qualified 40-year-olds who have finished with a BABIP over .300: just 11.
- The number of qualified 40-year-olds who have hit .300: just seven.
When it comes to anticipating the future, precedent is one of the only things we have. There wasn't a whole lot of precedent for what Jeter was aiming to do in 2013. There's even less precedent for what he's aiming to do in 2014.
And that helps explain why the projections are skeptical. Two of the best are ZiPS projections and Steamer projections. Both can be found at FanGraphs, and here's what they see for Jeter in 2014:
|Derek Jeter's Projections
The general message you get from these projections: Never mind his 2012 self, Jeter will be lucky if he can even get through a full season at 2010 levels (.270/.340/.370) of production. If that's what it comes to, he won't so much be going out on top as he will be just, you know, going out.
The objective viewpoint of Jeter's shot at one last great season in 2014, therefore, is a real downer. In playing regularly at shortstop and hitting like his old self, he'll be trying to do things that have very rarely been done before. The projections don't think he can do so.
But hey, isn't this Derek Jeter we're talking about?
Yeah, I know. Even after his comeback attempt in 2013 fared about as well as the Titanic's journey across the Atlantic, one still has reservations about doubting him. And since he's my personal No. 1 Yankee of all time, I felt inclined to search for glimmers of hope.
Well, that Jeter is insisting he's healthy is one. That's something he clearly wasn't in 2013, so that's a start.
And there were, believe it or not, some positives going on while Jeter was on the field in 2013. His plate discipline was quite good, as he posted his lowest O-Swing% since 2009 and his highest BB% since 1999. Had he been able to post a BABIP higher than .208, he would have had a dandy of an average-OBP combination.
Regarding Jeter's BABIP, that .208 figure wasn't a total fluke. A staggering 70.4 percent of his batted balls ended up on the ground. And while ground balls generally don't kill BABIP as much as fly balls do, that many of them is not good.
But for what it's worth, Jeter did do this:
|Derek Jeter's Line-Drive Habit
|LD% to Right
If you're ever in a position to come up with a visual aid to show what Jeter's hitting ability is/was all about, you'll find yourself searching for footage of a line drive to right field. And as lousy as his 2013 season was, it's encouraging that he was still flashing an ability to be himself even while his body was broken.
Here's an obligatory warning not to get too excited about this stuff. The positives that occurred in 2013 occurred over a very small sample size. Last season should still be looked at as the season in which Jeter became mortal, and the history of 40-year-old players and projections for 2014 suggest pretty strongly that he's going to remain mortal. Planning for the worst is the wise course of action here.
But go ahead. Hope for the best anyway. You know you want to.

Pierce County prosecutors have filed arson charges against a 45-year-old man suspected of setting small fires inside the garbage rooms at the Winthrop Apartments in downtown Tacoma.
Theophil J. Braa was charged Tuesday with six counts of first-degree arson. He told investigators he set the fires "because the management of the apartment building was not doing anything about the illegal activities in the building and he wanted to get the attention of the police," charging documents state.
Tacoma firefighters and police officers have responded to eight intentionally-set fires inside the building at 776 Commerce St. since mid-August. There also have been several false alarms.
The fires have been easily extinguished. No injuries were reported.
Braa lives in the building. He was arrested last week on unrelated charges and came to the attention of Tacoma police investigators. Detectives interviewed Braa on Friday and he eventually admitted to setting six of the eight fires, charging documents state.
Braa provided details on what he used to set the fires. He admitted to pulling two of the false alarms, saying he was upset.
"Though he provided details about the fires only a person would know that was involved in the fires, he would not admit to the fire in the laundry room or other false alarms, saying someone else must be pulling the alarms," court documents state.
Investigators were continuing to look into the other fires and false alarms at the Winthrop.

ENM Police Chief search begins - again
By Patrick Fisher, Staff Writer
At its Thursday, May 27, meeting the Elko New Market City Council approved a new search for the city's police chief as the top candidate Kevin O'Neill withdrew. O'Neill, a police officer with the Lakeville Police Department, had accepted a conditional offer with Elko New Market in April.
Elko New Market City Administrator Tom Terry said O'Neill gave no reason for withdrawing. He was among the finalists for the position out of 27 applicants.

LA-based design studio amphibianArc have won a design competition for a new district in the Chinese city of Yichang with a 1,430,000 sq m concept that draws on the natural elements of the given site, namely the nearby mountains and water from the Yangtze River. The team have also referenced the Chinese empress Leizu who invented the silk loom in a cluster of delicate volumes reminiscent of silkworm cocoons.
The undulating 'mountain range' of the site is home to the public buildings with the highest point being the Public Service Center. In total the Center comprises 8 buildings - 4 high rise and 4 low rise - with a series of courtyards for the executive offices.
Administrative elements are restricted to the high rise forms while the high-end office units are arranged around scenic courtyards for prime outward viewing. amphibianArc explains: "By opening up the offices, the design seeks to break up the negative stereotype of an aloof government and to help create a down-to-earth image."
In the centre of the four high rise administration towers users will find a sculptural Conference Hall accessed via a grand sweeping staircase and bordered by a pair of parallel water features.
The water features throughout the development are maintained with recycled rainwater which is also used in irrigation of the verdant landscaped foliage. The 8m elevation change across the complex adds an additional eco-friendly element by generating hydropower for a number of kinetic sculptures dotted throughout the park.
Spreading southwards from the Public Service Center and Conference Hall are the Museum, Planning Exhibition Center and ancillary community facilities. These are housed in globular volumes inspired by silkworm cocoons arranged in reinforced concrete shells within 'silk' wrappers. The building envelopes have been parametrically generated and will be constructed using recycled aluminium pipes for the necessary fibre-like aesthetic.

A new "social media" website for cooperatives in industry and services
One of the 7 principles upon which cooperatives are based on is cooperation: Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, national, regional and international structures. At the same time, one of the biggest difficulties for them is to be in contact with one another. Many organisations already exist at the international level but they take more institutional actions and none of them connect cooperatives together. With globalisation, and in times of crisis, the need for many cooperatives to reach out to the international network of enterprises, which CICOPA represents, is high on the agenda.
As a direct result of this, CICOPA has decided to launch a platform for its members. Indeed, Coospace will be exclusively dedicated to CICOPA and CECOP's direct or indirect members (cooperative confederation, federations, enterprises, support organisations etc.). It will work as a social media website organized by sector of activities or by region. Its users will run their own profile and will be able to post requests of any kind: a French construction cooperative wishing to learn about an international public works tender in Germany may want to find construction cooperatives in Italy, Germany and Poland in order to establish a temporary consortium and apply for the tender. A Spanish metal industry cooperative may have an interest in making a product in Brazil with a cooperative from Sao Paulo operating in the same sector. A Japanese tour operator cooperative could be willing to contact some of the many tourism cooperatives in Europe to organise tours to Europe. The possibilities are endless.
"Through my contacts with cooperative organisations around the world and cooperatives at the ground level. Over the years the difficulty of linking cooperatives one with another has been called to my attention, inside a given region and further afield, all around the world. Coopspace will provide cooperatives with an essential tool to be in contact and to make entrepreneurial exchanges between them" said CICOPA Secretary General, Bruno Roelants.
With 65.000 cooperatives in industry and services within the CICOPA network around the world, the website has great potential to serve users and could become a very high performance tool to efficiently serve those enterprises. For the moment, the website is being tested by several cooperative enterprises of the CICOPA network.

Star Trek III:
The Search for Spock
directed by Leonard Nimoy
(Paramount, 1984)
The final scene of The Wrath of Khan is the first scene of The Search for Spock. That emotional death and funeral with concluded the second film would resonate throughout the third.
The movie picks up almost immediately where the last left off. The Enterprise is limping home with a skeleton crew, badly damaged in its clash with Khan and Reliant. But when they get there, Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew find their enquiries about the Genesis Project ignored and their request to return to the Genesis planet to retrieve Spock's body denied. To make matters worse, the Enterprise -- brand spankin' new in Star Trek: The Motion Picture -- is to be retired, old and damaged beyond salvage.
Meanwhile, McCoy (DeForest Kelley) -- the victim of a surreptitious mindmeld just before Spock's death -- is developing signs of madness. Kirk's son, David Marcus (Merritt Butrick) and Lt. Saavik (Robin Curtis, replacing Kirstie Alley, who opted for a television career instead of resuming her role) are finding surprises -- including unexpected life -- on Genesis. And an ambitious Klingon (Christopher Lloyd) wants to steal the Genesis technology and turn it to military use.
But Spock's father, Sarek (Mark Lenard), arrives to offer new hope. So Kirk and his loyal crew disobey orders, steal the Enterprise and set out to put things right.
Fans often list Star Trek III as one of the series' low points. Unjustly so. The story is solid -- they managed quite a feat in providing a plausible explanation for an improbable resurrection. And there are a lot of peak moments, including McCoy's bar scene and his abduction from the Star Fleet lockup, Uhura's handling of an overeager rookie, and the classic theft of the Enterprise from spacedock. Plus, we finally get lots of Klingons, and it's great to see Star Trek's classic villains back in the game.
Kirk's solution to another no-win situation is dramatic, to say the least -- a loss almost as devastating to fans as Spock's death in the previous film.
That's not to say there aren't weaknesses. The opening scenes of the movie do drag a bit. So does the very end. Lloyd plays his Klingon captain a little over the top at times, and he has a dumb-looking pet. Conversely, Curtis eschews Alley's interpretation of Saavik and plays the role too flatly, making her into a very different character. And Chekov (Walter Koenig) spends much of the film in a very silly suit.
There's a surprising death, but one that carries very little impact. At the same time, Kirk's response to that death is weighty indeed. And the next action he takes is one of the most powerful in Star Trek history.
Don't sell this one short. It's not the best in the series, but it still fills a vital place in the ongoing story.

Railroad shipping: AAR reports steady carload and intermodal gains for week ending May 14
Carload volume—at 294,271—was up 1.6 percent annually and ahead of the week ending May 7 at 281,860.
in the NewsS&P Global's acquisition of Panjiva may give shippers new predictive analytics for risk mitigation Other Voices: How a warehouse execution system provides product traceability MHI honors original products, solutions with annual Innovation Awards Modex 2018: MHI to preview 2018 Annual Industry Report IAM, IoT and the Connected Supply Chain More News
After a few weeks of mixed results, rail traffic saw steady gains for the week ending May 14, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume—at 294,271—was up 1.6 percent annually and ahead of the week ending May 7 at 281,860. It was slightly below the week ending April 30, which hit 295,327 and ahead of the week ending April 23 at 292,706. It was also behind the week ending April 2, which hit 305,905 carloads, marking the highest weekly carload tally since the end of 2008.
Carload volume was up 1 percent in the East and up 2.1 percent out West. Carloads on a year-to-date basis are at 5,527,357 for a 3.3 percent annual gain.
Intermodal volume—at 231,875 trailers and containers—were up 6.1 percent compared to last year, continuing steady gains being helped, in part, by modal shifts by carriers looking for financial relief from increasing fuel prices. This was behind the week ending May 7 at 232,178 and ahead of the week ending April 30 at 229.
As LM has reported, truckload carriers and shippers are moving more freight via intermodal, even though it typically adds at least a day or two to transit times.
Of the 20 commodity groups tracked by the AAR, ten were up annually. Metallic ores were up 17.5 percent, and grain was up 14.2 percent. Primary forest products were down 13.6 percent, and farm products, excluding grain, were down 13 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week were 32.6 billion for a 0.8 percent annual increase, and on a year-to-date basis, the 619.5 billion ton-miles recorded are up 26.8 percent.
A research note by Dahlman Rose analyst Jason Seidl noted that the railroad industry is benefiting from an "ongoing economic recovery, intermodal growth, rising fuel prices, aggressive capital investments, and well-capitalized balance sheets."

Apple has made quite a name for itself in the mobile SoC market. Its chips tend to feature more graphics muscle than competing designs and the A6 was custom designed to deliver more performance and reduce power consumption.
However, things could be about to change. According to Apple Insider, Apple could use Snapdragon chips in its rumoured low cost iPhone. Qualcomm's 28nm chips are built by TSMC rather than Samsung and they are very competitive indeed. Like Apple's own A6 chips, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragons feature custom cores and perhaps more importantly they are available with LTE on board.
However, it is still unclear whether the low-cost iPhone will feature 4G connectivity. In fact, it is unclear whether the low-cost iPhone is real to begin with, but numerous reports from reputable sources point to a cheaper iPhone for emerging markets.
It would make a lot of sense, as Apple is at risk of losing even more market share to cheap Androids in Asia, but then again rumours of a cheaper iPhone version have a habit of popping up every year.

All in the "Synuclein" Family?—Baby β Also Causes Neurodegeneration
Quick Links
Move over α-synuclein; your smaller brother wants in on the act. In the November 2 Nature Communications, researchers led by Makoto Hashimoto at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Neuroscience, Japan, report that a β-synuclein mutation linked to dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) causes neurodegeneration in mice—even in the absence of α-synuclein. The finding may come as a surprise, since research indicates that β-synuclein protects against toxic effects of α-synuclein, the major component of Lewy bodies. The new work suggests that β-synuclein mutants are dangerous, not because they fail to protect against α-synuclein, but because β-synuclein causes neurodegeneration in its own right. How frequently that happens in humans remains to be seen. DLB is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease, but the β-synuclein mutation in question, a histidine in place of a proline at position 123 (P123H), seems quite rare. "It is unclear how many families might be affected by this particular mutation," said Albert LaSpada, University of California, San Diego. The mutation was discovered at LaSpada's laboratory when he was at the University of Washington, Seattle. LaSpada collaborated with the Japanese group to develop the P123H β-synuclein mice.
Only a small stretch of amino acids differentiates α- and β-synucleins. The former contain the highly amyloidogenic NAC domain, which drives protein aggregation. Being NAC free, β-synuclein has less propensity for such shenanigans, and in fact, seems to dampen aggregation of α-synuclein. Hashimoto, when working with Eliezer Masliah at the University of California, San Diego, found that β-synuclein curbed pathology in α-synuclein transgenic mice and improved their motor function (see ARF related news story on Hashimoto et al., 2001). Later, LaSpada and colleagues found that β-synuclein also prevents expression of the α isoform (see Fan et al., 2006). These mouse studies hint that β-synuclein mutations might cause DLB (see Ohtake et al., 2004) because they abolish the protein's protective effects. An alternative explanation, supported by the dominant nature of the mutations, is that a gain of function in mutant β-synucleins causes neurodegeneration. Mutant β-synuclein forms inclusions when overexpressed in neuroblastoma cells, for example (Wei et al., 2007).
The mice developed by the Hashimoto lab support the gain-of-function hypothesis. First author Masayo Fujita and colleagues generated four lines of transgenic mice that express human P123H β-synuclein under control of the Thy-1 promoter. These animals (P123H βS) formed no Lewy bodies, but by six months of age, β-synuclein had amassed in various brain regions, including the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus. Neurons in the striatum had β-synuclein-laden axonal swellings, or globules, which were positive for autophagy markers, suggesting that process is blocked or retarded in these mice. The lysosome is responsible for mopping up autophagic vesicles, but activities of the lysosomal proteases cathepsins B and D were lower in the brains of the transgenic mice compared to wild-type, which hints that it might be the last step in the autophagy process that is blocked.
The β-synuclein inclusions continued to accumulate until the animals were tested at 18 months old. Regions positive for these globules also had rampant gliosis, evident by a dramatic uptick in expression of astroglial cell markers. Behaviorally, P123H βS mice had both cognitive and motor problems. The former showed up as early as six months, when the animals performed poorly compared to controls in the Morris water maze test of learning and memory. The animals also showed odd social behavior, such as reduced sniffing, twitching, and grooming at six months. Physically, six-month-old mice were as capable as age-matched normals on the rotarod test of motor control, but they became progressively weaker at this task over the next 12 months.
The lack of Lewy bodies in these animals might suggest that the pathology was independent of α-synuclein, but as LaSpada told ARF, it is difficult to fully recapitulate human pathology in mice. Instead, proof that the larger α-synuclein was not involved came from crossing the P123H βS mice with α-synuclein knockouts. Fujita and colleagues found that the P123H βS/α-synuclein KO mice showed exactly the same pathology as the parent P123H strain, indicating that α-synuclein is not required for pathology.
Toxicity may be exacerbated by α-synuclein, however. Crossing P123H βS mice with a strain that overexpresses α-synuclein led to offspring with enhanced pathology. "If you overexpress α-synuclein you enhance pathology, but if you take α-synuclein away it does not affect β-synuclein," said LaSpada.
Why β-synuclein is toxic in the absence of its larger isoform is not yet clear. LaSpada believes it is related to the protein's ability to misfold. However, β-synuclein is not amyloidogenic, LaSpada pointed out, so the nature of the misfolded β-synuclein is unclear. Soluble oligomeric forms of other proteins, such as amyloid-β and α-synuclein are now widely believed to be the most toxic forms of those proteins. LaSpada suggested the same might be true for β-synuclein. "That is what we are coming to realize, that what you don't see is what causes the toxicity," he said.—Tom Fagan

tanford played the sort of game that's becoming the team's modus operandi on Saturday by overcoming a sluggish 1st half to take care of Washington State and notch a 44-14 victory. With the regular season now half complete, Stanford is undefeated and the top team in the conference. Here are your Week 7 Quick Reads:
- Stanford didn't improve on its tendency to stumble out of the gate. The Card's second play was an Andrew Luck interception; Stanford barely scored in the 1st quarter, and would have put up a 0 for the quarter if not for a Jordan Williamson field goal with under 2 minutes left in the period. At the half, Washington State had all the momentum, an invigorated home crowd and only a 3-point deficit to make up in the game's final 30 minutes.
- The second half, however, was entirely different. Stanford had 5 offensive drives in the second half, and 4 ended with Andrew Luck touchdown passes (the last ended in a punt). By game's end, Stanford had accumulated 475 total yards–336 of which came in the passing game–while keeping Washington State to 257 yards on the afternoon.
- Requisite Andrew Luck Statline Update: 336 yards passing, 4 touchdowns, 1 interception, 23-36 passing (64%)
- Luck was, as usual, brilliant.
- The Stanford defense kept star wide receiver Marquess Wilson to a respectable but unexceptional performance. Wilson caught 5 balls for 50 yards, which becomes his worst performance of the season. Before Saturday, he had never gained fewer than 88 yards in a 2011 game.
- Stanford continued to struggle on special teams, and specifically in the return game. Between Ty Montgomery's kickoff return fumble and some questionable punt return plays, Stanford could be leaving the door open for better teams to exploit weaknesses in securing the ball when Stanford's special teams are on the field.
- Montgomery more than made up for his early-game blunder by returning a kickoff–the final play of the game–96 yards for a touchdown. While it looks as though Montgomery, a true freshman, will primarily serve return duties this season, it's hard to resist imagining how he'll eventually burn Pac-12 secondaries as a starting wideout for the Card.
- Fellow pass-catcher Chris Owusu suffered what appeared to be a head injury in the 1st quarter. Owusu stayed down on the field for several minutes and did not return to the game after walking off the field with the Stanford training staff. The hit and resulting injury were eerily reminiscent of the play on which he suffered a concussion in Eugene last fall.
- Jeff Tuel came back from several weeks of injury to make the start at quarterback for the Cougars. But Washington State produced no significant running game and netted 48 yards on the ground over the course of the game. Considering that 15 of the 48 came on a run by back-up quarterback Marshall Lobbestael, the run effort looks even worse.
- By catching 2 touchdowns, tight end Levine Toilolo tripled his career touchdown count. Stanford tight ends might have been the story of the day in Pullman, where the tight end corps caught 11 of Luck's 23 completions and 3 of his 4 touchdown passes. Only 1 wide receiver, Griff Whalen, caught a pass.
- Whalen, though, continues to be an enormous asset to the Cardinal offense. Whalen tied WSU's Isiah Barton for a game-high 7 catches, and Whalen averaged 10.9 yards per reception by picking up 76 yards.
- With the 30-point win, Stanford remains perfect against the spread this season. Do with that information what you will.
- Stanford blew the game open by scoring 4 touchdowns in between Washington State's only 2 scores. Before that run began for the Card, the score was still 10-7.
- Despite the visit from national darling Andrew Luck and the nationally elite Stanford Cardinal, Martin Stadium still drew only 30,000 spectators for the game. To its credit, the venue only holds around 36,000 people at full capacity.
- Stepfan Taylor turned in another 100-yard game, and picked up exactly 100 yards on the ground on 17 carries.
- Sophomore Anthony Wilkerson re-emerged as an option in the running game. Wilkerson took 6 carries, second only to Taylor for the team high, for 25 yards. He might just be working his way back into the running back stable as a consistent back-up for Taylor after weeks of virtual irrelevance.
- The final score is no victory for the Cougars, but a little more depth, consistency and risk avoidance could have substantially changed the game. Washington State is certainly on the track toward becoming one of the best teams in the Pac-12 when it regains a full scholarship package next season and continues to develop its young players. Although it likely won't compete with Oregon and Stanford for a spot in Pasadena any time soon, the program has made substantial strides and will likely win more games this year than it did in the best 3 seasons combined.
- Thanks to everyone who tweeted @DailyAxe during the game. If you haven't tried it, spending gameday on Twitter is worth a try.
- Stanford returns home for its most challenging opponent thus far this year, Washington, in Stanford Stadium next week. Stay tuned for more coverage of Stanford-Washington State and complete coverage of the showdown with the Huskies.

Myrtle Chidester's Story
In June of 2005, I noticed an extreme tenderness near my breast bone as I was dressing. I had been moving furniture, cleaning windows and lifting four year olds (grandkids) so I blamed it on that. Within a week I noticed a new pain, deep within the right side of my chest, that reverberated with every heartbeat. It became more and more unbearable and within two days I was unable to sleep.
I was 51 years old and felt very smug about my fitness level. I was consistently running about sixteen miles a week and had completed a half-marathon the year I turned 50. I was very puzzled at this new persistent pain but not panicked. I could not imagine that anything could be seriously wrong as I was doing all the right things."
Because the pain persisted and seemed to be getting worse, I stopped at the Urgent Care after work one afternoon where the doctor seemed a bit puzzled as he ruled out any heart related condition. He sent me home with a muscle relaxer and strict instructions to follow up with my own physician or the ER if things got worse. That night I made my first of several visits to the ER. After a chest X-ray and other testing the diagnosis was inflammation of the cartilage between the ribs. I was loaded up with pain meds and went home for my first sleep in several days. By noon I was in unbearable pain again. I made an appointment with my primary care physician who was unavailable so I was saw his PA. This was one of the worse experiences that I had during the diagnostic process. I literally was in so much pain that I had tears rolling down my face. The first thing that the PA suggested was my pain may be physiological. Anyway, she called in two other doctors and they had me do a bunch of bending and stretching activities and gave me a referral for physical therapy. I left the office sobbing and called my husband from my car in the parking lot. I had no idea what they thought was wrong and I certainly got no relief for the pain. My husband drove from his work and went in to talk to the doctor, but came out with no answers either.
I made another visit to the ER that night and once again, after I was pumped full of morphine and valium, I was able to go home and sleep. Still no diagnosis but I was told to go back to my primary care doctor. This time I was actually seen by that doctor and he told me that I had shingles. I had serious doubts about this diagnosis but I took the medicine and agreed to try it. With no relief at all after twenty-four hours, I called his office and told them there was really something terribly wrong with me and we needed to do something to find out what it was. A CT scan was ordered and I was able to get it done that day.
This was another terrible experience in the diagnosis processes. By this time I was always crying from the pain and the waiting room was full of people staring at me and asking my husband if I was okay. After the scan, the technician came into the crowded waiting room and said loudly, "Mrs. Chidester, do you smoke?" So much for HIPPA. To me she almost seemed gleeful. Anyway, I was not putting two and two together, but after I answered "no" she informed me that my doctor was on the telephone. I was still coherent enough to know that this was not a good sign. I handed the phone to my husband after I heard that I had a mass on my lung. I still had really no comprehension of the diagnosis, but was getting the idea that it was serious.
I was admitted to the hospital for pain control and more diagnostic testing. When those tests were completed, I met my oncologist who told my husband and me that I have lung cancer. I do not remember too much about that except that he was very kind and honest as he told us that it had progressed to the point that there was no cure. There really are no words to relay the shock and devastation that we felt. I never even knew that someone like me could get lung cancer and that most people are diagnosed too late for any chance of a cure.
This was the beginning of my journey with multiple chemo regimens, radiation and cyberknife. As soon as my pain was under control I started to look to my community for some support and information and I found none. I was so miserable — there is nothing worse than feeling as if you are the only one in the world this is happening to. The more that I learned about lung cancer the more angry I was that it is deemed a self-inflicted and thus deserved disease. My goal is that every lung cancer patient and their families have access to the latest treatment information and can find some emotional support. It is also extremely important to me to let people know that if they have lungs, they are at risk. I believe that my diagnosis would have been less traumatic had I and others involved in the diagnostic process had known the facts about lung cancer.
I am looking forward to celebrating the five year mark since my diagnosis of stage IV non small cell lung cancer. I continue with treatment that has allowed the cancer to remain stable.
(Myrtle lost her battle with lung cancer February 20, 2012 but her vision and inspiration to bring awareness to this terrible disease live on through Lung Cancer Connection.)

Published 9:45 pm, Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Police in two towns are investigating robberies at Trustco bank branches that occurred within minutes of each other.
In Guilderland, police said they are seeking two suspects in a 5:50 p.m. robbery at the branch in the Trustco Bank in Star Plaza. The two entered the branch together and one of them handed a note to a teller. No weapon was displayed and the suspects fled on foot through the strip mall's parking lot with an undetermined amount of money, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 356-1501.
Meanwhile, Rotterdam town police are looking for a man they said robbed the Trustco Bank at 1900 Altamont Ave. That heist was reported at 5:58 p.m. — just eight minutes after the robbery in Guilderland. Police said the suspect in that incident is described as a black man, about 5 feet, 5 inches with a medium build, wearing all black clothing with a hat, ski mask and gloves.
No weapon was displayed and an undetermined amount of cash was taken, police said. He was last seen running north on Altamont Avenue.
Anyone with information is asked to call Guilderland police at 355-7397.

HAPPY couple Archit Chopra and Shruti Tripathi will now tie the knot after Archit proposed to his new fiancee by taking out an ad in the Adver.
Archit, 25, director at the Vets Klinic, met his bride-to-be in India six years ago, and the pair will be getting married in Delhi in July after the intricate plan was arranged for Shruti.
Inviting her to Swindon from London for the weekend, Archit arranged a photo shoot at Lydiard Park, telling Shruti there was a feature in the Adver about his work at the clinic.
As she was flicking through Saturday's paper she was faced with a half-page advert reading: "Shruti Tripathi, will you marry me?"
She immediately said yes – and ordered her new fiance out to gather copies of the paper as a memento.
"My first plan was to take her to The Shard and surprise her there," said Archit. "Unfortunately there were not any bookings available. "I am local to Swindon and work with the Vets Klinic, who do a lot of work with the Adver. I got in touch with the paper and spoke about the things we could do, and we came up with this advert idea.
"Shruti and I normally meet on the weekends, so she came to Swindon on Saturday and we planned a barbecue at Lydiard Park. I told her we would be taking pictures, so she should dress accordingly.
"When we got there I told her the photo shoot was for Vets Klinic, and said the Adver were doing a feature. "I told her to flick through the paper to look for it. "I don't think she was expecting to see that at all. It looked excellent when it came out. I wanted it to stand out and it did brilliantly."
Archit had already arranged the wedding with their parents in India but the couple wanted a real proposal.
"She knew it was coming any time now," Archit said. "We are getting married in July in Delhi, but we always had this idea to do a proper proposal. It worked out exactly how I wanted it to."
Shruti, 25, said: "It was just so amazing. I was so excited. We are completely not the romantic sort or ones for public displays of affection, but I loved it. I made him go out and walk to the Link Centre to buy loads of copies straight away.
"I knew there would be something coming but I thought he would be doing it in India with all our families there. I certainly wasn't expecting anything on Saturday."
The couple went to IP University together in Delhi before moving to the UK in 2009 to study international journalism at Cardiff University. Archit then moved to Swindon for work, and six months later Shruti found employment in London.
They will officially tie the knot in a three day ceremony in Delhi between July 5 and 7.

Akwa Ibom state government has announced a budgetary estimate of N426 billion for the 2016 fiscal year.
The budget as presented by Governor Udom Emmanuel to the state Assembly in Uyo on Tuesday is N58 billion less than the 2015 estimate of N484 billion.
The decline in the size of the budget is predicated on Federal Government's $38 per barrel at two million barrels per day production rate, according to Emmanuel, was in line with dwindling crude oil prices.
A breakdown of the Budget showed that Recurrent Expenditure is fixed at N92.96 billion with capital expenditure at N245 billion, while Consolidated Revenue Charges account for N88 billion.
The revenue projection also showed that N35 billion would be realised from Internally Generated Revenue, N35 billion from Statutory Allocation, N200 billion from Derivation, N12 billion from VAT and N2.39 billion coming from retained earnings from parastatals.
Sectoral allocation showed that General Administration would gulp N66.8 billion while the Economic, Law and Justice and Social Sectors getting N145.6 billion, N4.27 billion and N25 billion respectively with Regional Sector gulping N2.1 billion.
The Governor who said that the 2015 budget underperformed as only N150 billion was realised as at September as against expenditure estimate of N484 billion said the budget would lay a superior foundation for the socio economic and cultural development of the state.
"My desire is to achieve more than previous administrations since the state was created" he said.
House Speaker, Barr. Onofiok Luke had earlier assured the Governor of their support towards revamping the economy of the state and pledged that the House would also ensure a speedy passage of the budget.
Akwa Ibom state government has announced a budgetary estimate of N426 billion for the 2016 fiscal year.

such as "Introduction", "Conclusion"..etc
By Vicki Mozo
What can we expect from global temperature and climate shifts that are going on in the near future? Are we spelling out d-o-o-m? Is it really going to be apocalyptic in the following years? We've seen films depicting the future and they're quite scary. But, should we really get scared? Or, are we simply overreacting to the issue?
Recently, a team of researchers from Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute headed by the scientist, Carlos Jaramillo, reported that climate change and global warming effects may not be entirely unfavorable (to the tropical forests, that is).
Temperature rise is not a new occurrence. It happened nearly 60 million years ago. The temperature rose between three and five degrees higher. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were nearly thrice as they are today. These shifts implicate that the climate then was basically hot and wet.
According to Jaramillo and colleagues, the significant shift in temperature and carbon dioxide levels could have resulted in a relatively hot and wet climate that persisted in a rather short term. Interestingly, the rainforest species were not completely harmed by it; rather, they responded well.
The team compared pollen in rock cores and outcrops from Colombia and Venezuela before, during, and after that occurrence. They found that the condition did not devastate the tropical forests but stimulate rapid forest diversity instead.1 New species had emerged during that time. They concluded that the rate of new species formation was faster than the rate of older species extinction.
I would not recommend that we should feel lax about it. There is a real evidence that the Earth's temperature is getting warmer. Based on scientific reports, we can expect a temperature rise of about three degree Celsius towards the end of this century.
We all know that we live in a world that is functioning well when all factors remain stable or are in equilibrium. When a particular factor is already overwhelming it is enough to evoke a cautionary measure from each one of us since the change could lead to an unfavorable effect.
The effects are hard to predict and the views are many. Scientific predictions and mathematical models may be far from what's bound to happen in the real scenario. But, who should we listen? For me, I would heed to a call for a conservative effort. I would rather listen to the cries of the anticipating generation whose lives dwell in the hands of today's.
1 Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (2010, November 11). Tropical Forest Diversity Increased during Ancient Global Warming Event. Retrieved December 8, 2010, from www.stri.si.edu/english/about_stri/media/press_releases/PDFs/STRI-PR10_Tropical_ForestDiv.pdf

It is true that her singing voice doesn't compare with those of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey; she is no Janet Jackson in the dancing department; she frequently wears dodgy frocks; she has, perhaps, forgiven her love-rat husband too many times; and this latest business with Guildford Borough Council over the underground swimming pool that she is determined to build is undoubtedly tiresome.
But none of that matters, because the point about Cheryl Cole is that she is greater than the sum of her parts. Her appeal is not in the strength of her individual talents; it's in the package she has created so masterfully over the past few years.
Right now, the soignée X Factor judge is unstoppable. On Sunday, her debut solo single, Fight for This Love, reached No 1 in the charts, and became the fastest-selling single of 2009. Meanwhile, her album, 3 Words, released the following day, looks set to reach the top spot this weekend. Why? Because people just love her.
The sassy 26-year-old has the British public eating out of her perfectly manicured hands but remains pleasingly overwhelmed by her latest catalogue of triumphs. "I don't really know what to do with myself at the moment," she tells me in a thick, surprisingly deadpan Geordie accent. "The single going to No 1 was amazing. If the album goes to No 1, too, then it is definitely party time.
"It's strange to look back on myself even three years ago and to think that I've climbed the ladder. I've been lucky enough to get better and better. It's just bizarre."
I am among the 12 million who have tuned in to X Factor since she joined its panel in 2008, so perhaps I can explain the absurdly widespread attraction of Brand Cheryl. We love that she is jaw-droppingly beautiful. We love that she is forthright, and not afraid to laugh, cry, feel tense and get irritated like the rest of us (making her excellent fantasy best-friend material). With those sparkly eyes and killer smiles, she is endlessly mesmerising. If anyone has the X factor, it is Cheryl Cole.
This is why her fans don't care that she mimed to Fight for This Love when she performed it for the first time on X Factor. It it is why we forgave the terrible slashed trousers and military cap she wore while she did it. It is why people are snapping up her records, even though some critics have been lukewarm at best. She looks as good as we dream of looking (in whatever cut-out spangly number she is sporting), and the impression she gives is upbeat, feminine, feisty and fun.
Plus, the girl has guts. It is brave to launch yourself as a solo artist when you are used to the comfort and safety of a group (the wildly successful Girls Aloud, beloved of everyone from hysterical tweenies to the smug marrieds who should know better). "Being on my own, and not having the other girls on the [X Factor] stage, was scary. They were in the audience, but that was even weirder. It was definitely the scariest performance I've ever done."
It must be even more nerve-racking to have your career appraised by the same strict standards that you employ yourself as a professional judge of pop artists. How did it feel when the tables were turned? "That is a little bit unfair," she shoots back. "Because they are not artists, they are contestants. And I have been through that process myself [in 2002, on ITV's Popstars: The Rivals, where she won her place in Girls Aloud]."
Then, aged 19, she beat off heavy competition on the reality TV show to become the pop star she'd always wanted to be. After securing the Christmas No 1 in 2002 with Sound of the Underground, Girls Aloud have gone from strength to strength – and are far from finished.
But the band has supported Cheryl's simultaneous pursuit of a solo career. "They love the album," she says. "I was just reading a message from Kimberley [Walsh], and she was like: 'I can't stop playing the album'. We always call her the 'ice queen' because she never cries, but she said she had a little cry to herself when she listened to it." Her husband, Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole, adores it, too; he went out and "bought himself" a copy, and plays it in the car all the time.
I've listened to 3 Words on repeat ever since I got my hands on it. The record has an unexpectedly strong R&B vibe – was that a deliberate move away from the perky, girlie, pop genre that she has already nailed with Girls Aloud?
"I just wanted to do something that was true to me and to what I would listen to at home," she says. "As weird as it sounds, I do listen to my own albums. But if I don't listen to them, I can't expect anyone else to."
Such empathy is one of the striking things about Cheryl. Whenever a disappointed contestant cries, she is prone to a weep herself. I ask what she thinks of the X Factor's controversial Irish twins, John and Edward Grimes (they have awful voices but last week won the highest number of public votes; fellow judge Simon Cowell calls them "vile"). I expect Cheryl to tear them to pieces. Hardly.
"I feel bad for them because of the booing," she says. "And their family is in the audience somewhere. It must be hard. I couldn't sit there while my brother was being booed. You see their little faces crumple at the end of the show. I think if I was sitting at home I'd pick up the phone and vote for them."
Another outstanding quality is her fierce loyalty – to her husband, her band mates, her fellow Geordies (just hearing their accent melts her heart) and the X Factor acts she looks after. For that reason, she says she is finding Cowell particularly annoying this year.
"I think what's happened is that, because I won last year with Alexandra [Burke], he feels like he's got to be really competitive this year. He knows he's got a good category, and he keeps putting my acts down."
There have been moments during this series when he has almost managed to crack her composure – her upper lip wobbled when he accused her of having made a dire song choice for one of her acts two weeks ago. But today's Cheryl Cole – immaculate X Factor judge, successful businesswoman, footballer's wife, popular band mate, solo star, style icon – rarely lets the mask slip.
It is hard now to connect her with the mouthy Cheryl Tweedy we first met on Pop Stars: The Rivals. She has come a long way from the Newcastle council estate where she grew up.
Flawless grooming and a megawatt smile have replaced tracksuit bottoms and goofy teeth. Her style now is all elegance and class; far behind her are the gritty days of 2003, when she was accused of abusing a lavatory attendant in a Guildford nightclub.
She has consistently been the victim, rather than the perpetrator, in what little tabloid scandal has surrounded her glossy new persona. While Ashley has got drunk and embroiled in grim encounters with ladies who kiss and tell, Cheryl remains poised, down to earth and delightful – at least in our perception, which is all that counts. Unlike other tabloid fodder, she doesn't do stumbling pie-eyed out of nightclubs, sordid cocaine exposés or highly publicised plastic surgery.
Of course, the time will come when we tire of her perfect package; someone else's charm will claim the hearts of the British public. She knows this as well as anybody: "You can't help thinking, 'When is it all going to stop? When is it all going to go bad?".
Even I don't envisage her having the staying power of a Madonna or a Kylie, although I'd gladly be proved wrong. Either way, Mrs Cole should make sure that she is having a blast, because it can't get much better than this.

The Learning Garden was the first school garden started by community activists, setting the model for many of the other school gardens in the Mar Vista area. Attaching their endeavors to the existing gardening classes at Venice High School, The Learning Garden has been a beacon for the community since 2002.
The entire garden is grown without any pesticides, herbicides or fertilizer and depends on the soil food web to provide the plants with the appropriate nutrients.
The garden is watered by hand; as a teaching institution, part of learning how to care for plants is watering them. Some passive water saving is employed, capturing runoff and sequestering it back into the aquifer. The gardens are well mulched. There are three or four (depending on the week) different ways of composting in use.
The Venice High School gardening classes expanded over the years and now the garden has UCLA Extension classes as well as gardens of medicinal herbs. Its cactus and succulent garden includes a strong showing of California natives.
Some plants are gown to supply seeds to the Seed Library of Los Angeles (SLOLA).
The garden has about 45 fruit trees, including some grafted onsite, as well as exotic fruits (papaya, cherimoya).
There will be special Earth Day activities at the garden!
10:00–12:00 Join us for a peaceful tour of The Learning Garden with co-founder Julie Mann. Hear the history of one of the most well known school/community gardens in the country. See the Medicinal Herb Garden, the Native California Garden, the student plots and more!
12:00–4:00 ASK THE EXPERTS. Our favorite experts will join us in the garden to answer all your burning questions!
3:00–4:00 COMMUNITY CIRCLE led by the Transition Mar Vista/Venice peeps. Wind down the day talking about what we can do to make our community more resilient in these times of peak oil, climate change, drought, economic uncertainty, and so forth.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — In the last few years, Indianapolis has seen tremendous growth downtown, including apartments and grocery stores, but there aren't many places to work out.
Now, a new YMCA is coming to the CityWay site, to be located at the corner of Delaware and South Streets.
The groundbreaking is Wednesday, with the location scheduled to open in December 2015.
The entire building will be 100,000 square feet, 87,000 of which is for the new Y. The rest will be medical offices.
"This Y will have three gymnasiums, two indoor swimming pools, we'll have a culinary studio to help people learn how to eat healthier and even cook healthier," said Tangela Floyd with the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis. "We'll have an elevated indoor running track, everything that you can think of, so no more excuses Indianapolis."
The Y has two other downtown locations that will remain open: the Athenaeum and Indy Bike Hub.
Partners for the project include the City of Indianapolis, Eli Lilly and United Way.
Eli Lilly donated the property for the new location and an additional $5 million to help fund the site.
In total, $17 million has been raised, but $5 million more is still needed to complete the project.

Washington running back Chris Polk on Friday confirmed reports that he will return for his junior season.
"I thought it would be better for me to stay at the UW," Polk said in a news release. "I came here to get a degree and I'm really close to that, so why not finish? I'm not ready to leave the college atmosphere and my teammates just yet."
Polk redshirted his first year at Washington, so the next academic year will be his fourth.
Polk ran for 177 yards and a touchdown in the Huskies' upset win over Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl last month.
He finished the season with 1,415 yards on 260 attempts with nine touchdowns. Only Corey Dillon's 1,695 yards in 1996 ranks higher in Washington history. Polk trailed only Oregon's LaMichael James in the Pac-10.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian said last week that he expected his star running back to return.
"He has an opportunity to be the all-time leading rusher here," Sarkisian said.
Polk was projected to be drafted as high as the second round if he left Washington.
"We have a young team and a lot of great players coming back," Polk said. "I'm really looking forward to next year."
Polk is sixth on the Huskies career rushing list with 2,561. He is the third Husky to rush for 1,000 yards in two seasons, joining Greg Lewis and Napoleon Kaufman.
"We're excited to have Chris back for his junior season," Sarkisian said in Friday's release. "He's an excellent team leader with tremendous work ethic, and we look forward to watching him accomplish his goals next season."
