Press release from PR Newswire
SHFL entertainment, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended 2012 Results
Monday, December 17, 2012
SHFL entertainment, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended 2012 Results16:00 EST Monday, December 17, 2012SHFL entertainment Achieves Record Quarterly and Annual Revenue and Net Income; Fiscal Year Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share Growth of 25%LAS VEGAS, Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SHFL entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: SHFL) ("SHFL" or the "Company") today announced its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121008/LA88315LOGO) "We had a strong finish to 2012 with record revenue of $73.6 million in the fourth quarter, driven by successful execution of our core businesses. For the fiscal year, 14% growth on the top line, 12% recurring revenue growth, and 25% growth in adjusted earnings per share demonstrate yet another year of exceptional performance. All but one of our product categories witnessed double digit revenue growth; that's impressive in any environment, and especially in this one," said Gavin Isaacs, SHFL's Chief Executive Officer. "As we communicated throughout the year, we have been and intend to continue to invest in our business and look forward to reaping the benefits in the future. Entering the new fiscal year, we believe we are well-positioned for sustainable growth as we benefit from continued MD3 card shuffler placements, global expansion of our slot machine business, improved e-Table offerings, and meaningful opportunities created from the power of our specialty table game brands, both in brick and mortar casinos and online casinos." Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial HighlightsTotal revenue increased 12% to a record $73.6 million, up from $65.7 million over the prior year period. Recurring revenue grew 14% year-over-year to $31.5 million, due to growth in the Utility, Proprietary Table Game ("PTG"), and Electronic Table Systems ("ETS") segments. GAAP net income increased 11% year-over-year to a record $10.8 million. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") grew 6% year-over-year to $0.19. This includes approximately $1.0 million in one-time rebranding expenses related to the Company's name change and set-up costs associated with establishing its new international operations in Gibraltar and Latin America. Gross margin increased 110 basis points year-over-year to 64%, due to strong PTG recurring revenue growth and improved ETS performance. Operating income margin remained relatively flat year-over-year at 22%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to a record $23.9 million from $22.7 million. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $2.9 million year-over-year to $21.4 million. The increase primarily came from $1.1 million in legal expenses such as increased litigation, patent, and trademark costs. The year-over-year increase was also due to greater sales and profit-driven commissions and related expenses, in addition to the establishment of the Company's new international operations. Greater total marketing costs predominantly related to the Company's re-branding also contributed to the increase. Research & Development ("R&D") expenses increased approximately $1.0 million year-over-year to $9.1 million largely due to development costs associated with the Company's iGaming content delivery platform and online versions of its proprietary table games, and to a lesser extent, product enhancement initiatives in the Utility segment. Free Cash Flow ("FCF")1, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $12.3 million, a decrease of 22% year-over-year primarily due to an increase in cash taxes paid from increased profitability and our Australian entities' full utilization of net operating losses in fiscal 2011. To a lesser extent, FCF declined due to an increase in capital expenditures largely related to the development of the Company's iGaming content delivery platform and its purchase of servers for its overseas iGaming operations. Fiscal Year 2012 Financial HighlightsRevenue increased 14% year-over-year to $259.0 million ? a Company record. Recurring revenue grew 12%, or $12 million, to $118.2 million and comprised 46% of total Company revenue. The Company paid off its remaining revolving line of credit balance in the fourth quarter and its cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.2 million. On October 31, 2011 the Company's net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $17.1 million. Gross margin increased 110 basis points year-over-year to 64%. The increase was driven by strong growth in recurring and sales revenue. GAAP net income was a Company record at $38.6 million, compared to $31.6 million in fiscal year 2011. Diluted EPS increased to $0.68 compared to $0.57 last year. This includes one-time rebranding costs associated with the Company's name change and set-up expenses for its new international operations of approximately $1.0 million. Excluding the impact of due diligence expenses associated with the Company's terminated acquisition of Ongame in the fiscal year, EPS grew 25% to $0.71. Operating income margin increased 110 basis points year-over-year to 21%. Excluding the impact of due diligence expenses associated with the Company's terminated acquisition of Ongame in the fiscal year, operating margin was 22%. Adjusted EBITDA grew 17% to $87.0 million, a Company record, from $74.7 million in fiscal year 2011. SG&A increased $8.8 million, or 13% year-over-year, to $77.4 million. Greater compensation and related expenses of $4.1 million primarily drove the increase as a result of higher sales and profit-driven commissions and related expenses, in addition to a full year of compensation for several executive-level positions that were filled in fiscal 2011. $2.2 million in due diligence expenses from the terminated Ongame acquisition was also a key contributor to the increase. Greater legal expenses of $1.5 million from various litigation matters, as well as regulatory and licensing expenses associated with the Company's iGaming segment also contributed to the year-over-year increase. SG&A as a percentage of total revenue stayed constant at 30%. R&D expenses increased 16% year-over-year to $32.2 million. Development of the Company's iGaming content delivery platform and online versions of proprietary table games attributed to the increase, in addition to new title development for the Equinox cabinet. Additional investment in ETS and Utility also contributed to the increase. FCF was $43.8 million, a decrease of 9% year-over-year primarily due to a $17.2 million increase in cash taxes paid. In fiscal 2012, the Company paid cash taxes as a result of greater profitability across all of its international subsidiaries as well as the full utilization of net operating losses in Australia. In fiscal 2011, the Company received a net refund of approximately $0.5 million. International revenue totaled $144.4 million in 2012 compared to $126.8 million 2011, and represents 56% of total Company revenue."We reported another very strong quarter and year both operationally and financially as we continue to develop and deliver compelling products to the industry," said Linster Fox, SHFL's Chief Financial Officer. "With no debt on our revolving line of credit and inventory turns at the highest they've ever been, our optimization of working capital helps us fuel growth and create shareholder value. That growth requires investment in SHFL to capitalize on the many organic opportunities for the Company, particularly in the iGaming space and expanding into markets where we're underrepresented."Fourth Quarter 2012 Business Segment HighlightsUtilityTotal Utility recurring revenue grew 8% to $13.8 million. The increase was driven mainly by the Company's upgrade initiative and new casino openings in the United States, resulting in increased MD3, iDeal, and Deckmate card shuffler lease placements. Total Utility revenue grew to $25.0 million, representing a 5% increase over the same period last year. Strong recurring revenue growth, partially offset by a decrease in sales revenue, drove growth during the quarter. The leased installed base of 8,285 shufflers at the end of the quarter represented a 9% year-over-year increase. Gross margin remained flat year-over-year at 62%. The MD3 total installed base increased by 361 units in the quarter to 1,742. Of the total installed base, 54% of units are on lease.Proprietary Table Games Total PTG recurring revenue increased 14% year-over-year to $12.6 million during the fourth quarter primarily due to increased placements across all PTG categories: premium table games (Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Mississippi Stud), progressive units (Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive, Three Card Poker Progressive), and side bets (Fire Bet, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Dragon Bonus). Total PTG revenue increased 23% to $13.8 million driven by strong lease placements and to a lesser extent, increased sales revenue. Gross margin increased 220 basis points year-over-year to 83% due to an increase in total revenues. The progressive installed base increased 333 units year-over-year to 1,193 units overall. Placements of Three Card Poker Progressive, Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive, and Ultimate Texas Hold'em Progressive drove installs year-over-year.Electronic Table Systems Total ETS recurring revenue grew 33% year-over-year to $4.9 million due to strong participation revenue from Table Master and Vegas Star. Total ETS revenue grew to $9.9 million. The 37% year-over-year increase was driven primarily by sales of Vegas Star Widescreen upgrades in Australia in addition to the growth in recurring revenue. Gross margin improved substantially year-over-year to 57% due to an increase in total segment revenue.Electronic Gaming Machines ("EGM")Total EGM revenue grew 6% year-over-year to $24.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by sales related to the Equinox Super Top Box, the new slot title The Flintstones in Australia, as well as sales of 88 Fortunes in Asia. Gross margin decreased to 58% from 66% in the prior year period. This was due mainly to higher manufacturing costs in the current period as well as an increase in outsourced installation costs related to the Company's expansion into new market segments in Australia. Total EGM placements fell 8% from 1,256 one year ago to 1,151 units. A decrease in Estar units on lease, offset slightly by sales of Super Top Box units, was the main driver of the decrease.Further detail and analysis of the Company's financial results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, is included in its Form 10-K, which the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before December 31, 2012.Webcast & Conference Call InformationCompany executives will provide additional perspective on the Company's fourth quarter and year-end results during a conference call on December 17, 2012 at 2:00 pm Pacific Time.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is a useful performance measure and is widely used to measure performance, and as a basis for valuation, within the Company's industry. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure for comparison. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance and to compare the operating performance with those of its competitors. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming equipment suppliers have historically reported Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss), as an indicator of the Company's performance, as an alternate to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such GAAP measurements include operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operations and cash flow data. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. 2.Free cash flow is Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and cash paid for taxes.

Donatello plans to recreate his existence.With everything that has been said and alluded, especially towards the end of chapter six, it would seem as if Donnie is trying to make turtle clones from Renoir's cell tissues. He says that he wants to get the reality that Leonardo stole from him from back then. He may even go as far as to implant his old memories into a new body for himself; this could also be true because it would explain how Renoir killed his human body but retained the memories of his human identity, Augustus Amherst.
Donatello will eventually fight LeonardoWhile this seems to be another wild guess, it just may happen considering that Leonardo has returned to New York in chapter fifteen. Before Renoir came on the scene, Donnie has been going through ninjutsu training in secret just enough to match Leonardo or even surpass when they finally confront each other. Given Donatello's intelligence he may have even found a way to enhance his ninja skills via science in order to best Leonardo in combat.
Donatello plans to use Renoir's mutation to revive SplinterThink about it. He's absolutely desperate for a real sample of the kid's blood after noting, primarily, that it increases his healing beyond even the standard mutation. However, he's desperate to get it in a controlled setting; it's obviously useless to him if he doesn't get enough to experiment on, and in a way that he can experiment with it.
Donatello plans to use Renoir's mutation to help him kill LeonardoSame main reasoning as above, only instead of reviving Splinter, he'd use it to make his new fighting style unstoppable. He's still a ninja, after all; being a ninja's all about getting the edge on your target and using it as hard as you can.
Augustus really is dead, and the turtle absorbed his memories and personalityThe hypothesis is that the turtle that attacked and ate Augustus either got at his brain and took in Augustus's mind that way, or that the turtle was somehow affected by the sword's curse and absorbed it magically, depending on who you ask. It could go either way, though, as...
The feral mutant turtle was either a remnant of the cursed sword on the Hamato family OR was made by the shadowy figure in the prologue....on the one hand, the curse is explicitly stated to affect the family later in the story, which it does by being someone Raphael takes in and feels guilty about occasionally, and on the other, we've got a mad scientist taking mutant blood and being very pleased with himself in the prologue. Could be one, could be the other, could be...
The feral mutant turtle was made by the shadowy figure in the prologue AND ALSO was affected by the curse, by technically being part of the Hamato family.If the mutant turtle was a clone, it was directly part of the Hamato family by being, technically, a twin brother of sorts. If it was made by mutation extracted from the blood, it was still made from the blood of the family and could be considered, technically, a son. Whew, that's a lot of guessing.
Tetsu is not Davianna's father. As of chapter 21, all evidence seems to point in this direction: Sayako was so broken and desperate she seeked comfort even in the man who attempted to rape her; on his side, it's evident his inner turmoil was bigger than he let see (especially given his twin brother's death). The recipe to Sex for Solace seem perfect, the two would then part ways, and Sayako would later discover her pregnancy. So, it would a real twist if we will discover it's not the case.

INDEPENDENCE — Matthew Steven Jones, who faces a first-degree murder charge, was granted a new trial date by Grayson County Circuit Court Judge Brett Geisler during an appearance last Friday.
His jury trial was originally set for Sept. 10, 11 and 13, but it was changed to Nov. 19-21.
He is represented by Hillsville attorney Karen Boyer.
INDEPENDENCE — Indictments against four suspects that were sealed by a Grayson County Circuit Court grand jury have been opened.
The grand jury met July 25 and sealed several indictments. They were unsealed after the warrants were served.
According to court records:
• Colt Andrew Matthews, 29, of Galax, was indicted on two counts of aggravated sexual battery and two misdemeanor accounts of assault on a family member.
Eddie Bond - Fries
1. Eddie Bond, Galax
2. Jake Krack - St. Albans, W.Va.
3. Tessa Dillon - St. Albans, W.Va.
4. Kilby Spencer - Galax
5. Joe Furtado - Front Royal
6. Kitty Amaral - Elk Creek
7. Corrina Logston - Nashville, Tenn.
8. Nate Leath - Charlottesville
9. Richard Bowman - Mount Airy, N.C.
10. Erika Testerman - Lansing, N.C.
WOODLAWN — A delivery truck headed west towards Galax on U.S 58 swerved off the road and hit a private home, causing structural damage but no fatalities, according to Virginia State Police.
No one was home at the time, and no injuries were reported. The driver, who state police identified as Donald Wayne Goode, was ambulatory at the scene of the accident.
State police and the Galax Volunteer Fire Department were summoned to 6764 Carrollton Pike in the Midway Heights community for the incident, which occurred at 10:10 a.m. Monday.
The United Way of Southwest Virginia and United Way Virginia Highlands merged on Aug. 6.
The new, larger agency will be called United Way of Southwest Virginia and includes all the localities in both groups' territories.
The United Way Virginia Highlands covered Carroll and Grayson counties and the city of Galax, as well as Bland, Buchanan, Russell, Smyth, Tazewell and Washington counties. The original United Way of Southwest Virginia covered Dickenson, Wise and Scott counties and Norton.
A 15-year-old juvenile has been charged in connection with a single-vehicle accident involving himself and three other underage passengers.
Police received a call to Pleasantview Road (Route 743) in Carroll County at 9 p.m. on Aug. 2. According to a police report filed by Virginia State Police Trooper Dean Horton, the 15-year-old was operating a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado pickup when he ran off the road to the right, traveled back across the road to the left, and then ran off the road again to the right and struck a tree.
HILLSVILLE — Just in time for the fall semester, Carroll County High School opened the doors to its Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Lab for agriculture — the first in the nation of its kind — on Aug. 6.
Carroll County has deep roots in the field of agriculture, with farm production and agriculture providing the largest economic sector. According to a news release from the county, this project has been one of the many agricultural efforts supported by the Carroll County Board of Supervisors.
California-born music writer and critic Greil Marcus once used the term "old, weird America" to refer to the sound of the songs collected on the popular and enduring "Anthology of American Folk Music."
The anthology itself was created by another West Coast native, Harry E. Smith, who compiled the three-album set with every American blues, folk and country song he could find. He teased out ballads, "social music" and just plain songs.
Enforcement zone
Another series of wrecks on Fancy Gap Mountain on Interstate 77. When is our law enforcement going to realize we need to patrol the mountain instead of doing all the radar between the Fancy Gap and Hillsville exits? We need more law enforcement on the mountain.
Coming to Virginia
INDEPENDENCE — An Independence man who police say impersonated an officer and held three people against their will is now in custody.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office put out an alert on Aug. 6 for John David Anderson, 43, who was wanted in connection with an incident the previous day on Fulton Road near Independence.
Grayson Sheriff Richard Vaughan said that Anderson approached the people from the woods outside their home and held them at gunpoint.

Kevin Flynn
Marriotts Ridge
Flynn led the Mustangs to their fourth consecutive Class 2A state championship, joining Pocomoke, River Hill and Wilde Lake as the only boys soccer programs in Maryland history to win four straight titles.
Marriotts Ridge dominated Queen Anne's, 4-0, last month at UMBC Stadium to win this year's title. The Mustangs finished the season with a 17-0 record, extending their unbeaten streak to 24 games.
"Every state title is hard, you don't take any of them for granted," Flynn said.
The Mustangs only allowed nine goals this season and did not allow a shot in the championship game until midway through the first half.
Marriotts Ridge and Wilde Lake are the only programs to win the four titles outright. River Hill was co-champions with Towson in 2003, and Pocomoke shared the title with Sparrows Point in 2006.

It looks like money does grow on trees somewhere near Chavez Ravine. As if the Dodgers hadn't spent enough money over the last six months through trades, personnel additions and signing Cuban defectors to send Fort Knox into financial ruin, they felt it was necessary to pony up $25.7MM......just to talk. I guess the front office didn't get the memo that Verizon has plans starting at $30 a month.Of course, it's not like they are blowing it on just anything. The amount is the posting fee for Korean pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu, giving the team 30 days to negotiate a contract with the 25 year old pitcher. To be fair to Ryu, he has been an absolute monster in the KBO. In 2006 he won the ROY and the MVP (the only member of the KBO to do so), has one Wins Title, two ERA Titles and five Strikeout Titles. He also led South Korea to the Gold Medal in the 2008 olympics and then in 2009 led South Korea to the championship game in the WBC.Of course, if the Dodgers can't negotiate a cont...

'American Idol': Who's Dunzo?
momlogic's Vivian: Each Wednesday night's "American Idol" show has become the most overt product-placement endeavor I've ever witnessed. In FOX's efforts to pimp the new film "Clash of the Titans," images of Idols and judges were spliced and diced with action footage from the film, and displayed with headlines like, "Between men and Gods, Idols and judges." Oh. Dear. LAWD. The idea probably worked well on a storyboard, but the end result went a little too far. SUCH tack-ola.
Once we got through the commercial portion of the program, former "Idol" victor (and nouveau Barry White) Ruben Studdard took the stage, giving a fair-to-middlin' performance off his new album. A bit of foreshadowing that points to a Big Mike Lynche victory, perhaps? Or sheer fluke?
During the small talk that preceded the results, our GURL, mommy Crystal Bowersox, said that she has been playing piano since she was 6, then switched to guitar because "it was easier to carry around." Andrew Garcia's feisty mom was called upon for her commentary once again, and as any mom would, she took the opportunity to cheer her son on out loud. "He should just be himself," she said. "Because his mama raised him right!"
Now for the results: Our girl MamaSox and Big Mike earned the expected kudos and safety. Lee DeWyze was praised for his standout performance, and Andrew was declared to be "back in the zone." Casey James admitted that he could "do more" on stage, but was safe. Even though Aaron Kelly was likened to "a cupcake" in comparison to Lee's "dinner," he escaped the bottom three. And in spite of a seriously "off night," Siobhan Magnus also managed to escape the bottom three -- but Katie Stevens wasn't so lucky. It was she, "Teflon" Tim Urban and teary Didi Benami who comprised the bottom three.
Katie and Tim were sent back to safety, leaving Didi to reprise her rendition of "Rhiannon" -- but it wasn't enough for the judges to exercise their single save, and she was sent packing.
What will MamaSox do to keep us on our toes next week? Will next week's McCartney/Lennon theme throw Big Daddy Mike, or will he continue to kick a**?
Tune in to "American Idol" on FOX next Tuesday, and then come right back here for the recap!

The Houston Texans have fallen off of the planet this season. They can't get anything rolling offensively and the defense has been struggling as well. Everything is falling apart now with the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That is just embarrassing.
Johnson talked about the team's struggles after the game with Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com.:
"We suck," he said, then continued after a pause. "As an offense. That's pretty much it."
"You're not going to play perfect every single game, but I mean, it's been bad, you know?" Johnson said. "They were booing us last week. They booed us before. I said it before, if we're not putting good stuff on the field, we ain't giving them nothing to cheer about. They booed. They should boo."
Johnson was asked if this is the worst team in the NFL.
"I think our record shows it," he said. "Yeah, if you look at our record, yeah, we're the worst team."
Johnson isn't too happy about things happening in Houston right now. They have to find some ways to fix this thing up in the offseason. It is a disaster.

Should Synthetic Organisms be released to clean plastic pollution from the ocean?
The Problem: Microplastic pollution in the ocean.
Proposed Solution: Engineered Organisms that can collect the pollution into recyclable pieces. (the science behind this: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/igem2012 )
A video explanation: http://youtu.be/rEDLg03teOk
Should Synthetic Organisms be released to clean plastic pollution from the ocean? Is synthetic biology the only solution to plastic pollution? Can we anticipate and prevent any negative repercussions? Do the potential risks outweigh the benefits? Who could profit from this? Who calls the shots?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sebastian R.Jul 12 2012: Synthetic organisms can do some things we can't do in an other way and for some jobs like your project you would have to release them into the wild. Today this is not legal and this is fine, because we don't understand the technology well enough. Today the risks are very low but so are the benefits. This might change in the future, but until then, SynBio has to proof itself a lot in the lab and under safe conditions. We have to develop preventions mechanisms like predicting potential unintended reactions (this can and has to be done, in IT Security they don't test just if it works but also if it does something which was not intended under very rare circumstances), create a self controlling community which is aware of the risks and can act just in case, develop mechanisms to "remove" "buggy" organisms from our environment, talk to people who live in the environment we want to release GMOs and research how synthetic organisms combine with natural organisms. If we cannot do those kind of things I don't think it is responsible to release the organisms in the environment. But if we wait long enough the environmental problems will become so big that anybody with a solution will be a hero. Until then, we should have done our homework.
Somehow your project reminds me of Wall-E :D

Many, but not all, transmission towers—including lattice towers and transmission poles—are made of high-strength steel (HSS) sheet or plate that has been formed into tubular structures, according to James Heady, principal transmission engineer at Orange & Rockland Utilities Inc., Spring Valley, N.Y.
Myriad factors are driving this demand, including greater electronics usage in home offices and more renewable energy sources plugging into the grid.
"There is more need for transmission capacity and, therefore, for more transmission towers, just because of the nature of the electric market," said Ron Snead, vice president of asset management for the power delivery group of Duke Energy Corp., Charlotte, N.C. "There is more of a need to move power over longer distances, to improve reliability, to beef up the transmission system and to allow for a more economic exchange of energy. Demand is growing."

Prevent Medicare Fraud: How To Avoid Abuse and Medical Billing Fraud
Established in 1990 by Kathleen Buckwalter from the College of Nursing, the University of Iowa Center on Aging (COA) quickly became recognized as a core campus resource facilitating interdisciplinary education, research, and service efforts dedicated to understanding the aging process and improving the health and well being of older people. Then, as part of the state of Iowa Public Health initiative in 1999, the Iowa Board of Regents called on the COA to advance the "health and independence of elderly Iowans" and provided an allocation to support core staffing. In particular, the Center was expected to:
(a) increase leadership and faculty in aging;
(b) coordinate campus-based educational programs in aging,
(c) expand research efforts in aging and have the COA support researchers across the Regents institutions;
(d) develop innovative, cost-effective demonstration programs in health care; and
(e) advance community-based efforts that improve access to aging programs at the local level.

Genome breakthrough could help fight against sleeping sickness
KISUMU, Kenya (IRIN) – Scientists have welcomed the development of genome sequence data on the tsetse fly, the vector responsible for the transmission of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), commonly known as sleeping sickness. They say it could be instrumental in devising strategies to eradicate the fly and reduce deaths and the spread of other diseases associated with it.
"The genome data could ultimately advance knowledge on the biology of the tsetse fly and the trypanosome parasite it carries. Aspects of its biology may offer some vulnerabilities, such as the rearing of live young inside pregnant females, the dependence of the fly on bacteria that live inside its cells and its unusual prey-finding behavior," Mathew Berriman, group leader, Parasite Genomics with Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, told IRIN by email.
"The protein involved in sensing light, smell and taste have been found opening the door for refinement of traps. Also in the genome we find evidence of viruses that are associated with parasitic wasps – this highlights the possibility that a natural predator of tsetse exists in the wild; if it could be found, it could be utilized for biological control."
Serap Aksoy from the University of Yale who co-authored the study, told IRIN: "The African trypanosomiasis affects thousands of people in sub-Saharan Africa. The absence of a genome-wide map of tsetse biology was a major hindrance for identifying vulnerabilities."
She added: "This community of researchers across Africa, Europe, North America and Asia has created a valuable research tool for tackling the devastating spread of sleeping sickness."
The researchers also found a set of visual and odour proteins that seem to drive the fly's key behavioural responses, such as in searching for hosts or for mates.
Tsetse flies have a highly unusual biology. Unlike other flies which lay eggs, they give birth to a single live larva which is then nursed into a full grown fly by feeding on the mother's milk glands.
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute said in a statement: "This disease-spreading fly has developed unique and unusual biological methods to source and infect its prey. Its advanced sensory system allows different tsetse fly species to track down potential hosts either through smell or by sight…
"This study lays out a list of parts responsible for the key processes and opens new doors to design prevention strategies to reduce the number of deaths and illnesses associated with human African trypanosomiasis and other diseases spread by the tsetse fly."
According to the researchers, the genome sequencing has helped to reveal "the fly's special repertoire of proteins for procuring, filtering, and packaging the blood and for viviparity [retention and growth of the fertilized egg within the maternal body until the young animal, as a larva or newborn, is capable of independent existence] and the expression of analogs of mammalian milk proteins."
Critical proteins identified
"Proteins have been identified that are critical for feeding unborn larvae – interfering with this process would break the life cycle," Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute's Berriman told IRIN.
The study was conducted by a team of-6 scientists from 78 research institutes across 18 countries. They analysed the genome of the tsetse fly and its 12,000 genes.
Other than sleeping sickness, the tsetse fly is also responsible for nagana disease (also known as nagana pest or animal African trypanosomiasis) in livestock.
The UN World Health Organization (WHO) says "sleeping sickness threatens millions of people in 36 countries in sub-Saharan Africa."
Many of the affected populations "live in remote areas with limited access to adequate health services, which complicates the surveillance and therefore the diagnosis and treatment of cases. In addition, displacement of populations, war and poverty are important factors that facilitate transmission."
The disease attacks the central nervous system, hence causing severe neurological disorders or even death if left untreated.
The researchers hope the new revelations on the fly's genome will lead to the development of repellants or insecticides.
In 2009, WHO set up a specimen bank to help researchers to facilitate the development of new and affordable diagnostic tools. It contains samples of blood, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva and urine from patients infected with both forms of the disease as well as samples from uninfected people from areas where the disease is endemic.

Only 1 year after founding #EsTYLOWJUNKTiON in '06, I began to receive much attention and coverage from the media. The support that this city has shown me has been my greatest accomplishment. My mom proudly collects all articles written about me whether they be for my artworks, urban art, fashion design, film making or pioneering new projects. Here are about 16 of those articles of a collection of over 30. #ElPasoTimes #Borderzine #MineroMagazine #ElPasoInc #NewsChannel9 #SpotlightMagazine #GlassTire #FusionMagazine #WhatsUpMagazine #UrbanArtFitters #mariPAZa #EPFT
In 2012, @diegorobot and I talked about a friendly "Vs." show for 2013. However, our constant involvement in projects and our busy schedules didn't allow our plans to fully blossom. #DiegoRobot and #SilverIsReal have sat and stood side by side at countless events. Not only supporting a movement, but each other as well. Earning our way into galleries, fashion shows, homes, your style and your walls. We're happy to announce that plans for a #Robot/#mariPAZa exhibit are in the works. More info coming soon #EverythingMustGo #UrbanArtFitters Leauge of #ELPASO #ItsAllGoodEP #ThePeoplesKey #ColumnsOfPurpleLight #AmachineSpiritual
Because life is short, and there's no one we'd rather spend the rest of our lives with. Yesterday, my beautiful girlfriend and I decided to announce to the world our decision to get married. Although we've only known each other a short time, we've never been more certain about something. She makes me feel like I'm the most important person in the world. And with the support from our families, we will make our dream come true. Thank you all so much who have already congratulated us. I couldn't even sleep last night!

CB4 Gusto
from Nas – The Message Lyrics on Genius
This is a reference to the character MC Gusto (played by Chris Rock) from the rap mockumentary CB4. MC Gusto fronts a rap trio with strong similarities to NWA; they have a hit with "Straight Outta Locash." But unlike (some members of) NWA, CB4 aren't street at all — MC Gusto's real name is Albert, and he comes from the LA suburbs. Instead, the thug life he brags about on his records is more or less stolen from the life of a real thug, a local crime kingpin named Gusto who is sent to prison and believes he was set up by Albert.
Here Nas is suggesting that his enemies (likely Biggie; see above) are fake gangsters like MC Locash, spinning invented or stolen tales of street life. Ironically, these same charges would be leveled against Nas by Jay-Z.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit "The Message" by Nas Lyrics and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

I know they have their struggles and things they worry over but right now, they look like the very embodiment of happiness. They're dancing and free and I can't stay away from this too long.
I've been smiling and laughing for what feels like every waking moment since before my birthday .I've been very bad about writing the past few days because my partner snatched me away for a weekend getaway that snowballed into days of unmitigated joy (my sleeping hours are something completely different).
Before I met these women I thought, my sexuality was a secret aside. Some quirk I had to reveal months in when it was necessary. "Hey, just so you know, I snore. Hey, just so you know I'm queer." I've always had this partition between most women I befriended, afraid I'd gross them out, afraid if I got too close I'd repeat the moments in my childhood that taught me to only nurse attractions to men. I didn't even know how alone I was.
And then the moment when I sat in a house full of women like me. The ease I felt. How good it felt to say "my girlfriend, my woman." and to hear other women say those same words.
They looked like me.
They loved like me.
Seeing women like me so apologetically themselves, so determined to be happy and loved, so secure in themselves has done wonders for my soul. It's made my resolve to be happy that much stronger.
