Expert panel speakers:-
Topics discussed:
As has been previously discussed, government funding can rarely manage to foot the bill for an entire tertiary education system - and often it's not appropriate for them to do so. Education at the tertiary level provides an over-reaching benefit to society, through research, training of new graduates that can provide public services and value to the economy, and as centres for excellence, innovation and inspiration.
In Asia, public-private partnerships have allowed the training of educators in ICT - allowing not only the educators to improve the learning experience through technology, but also enabling the children to learn to learn, to be able to use technology to further their own learnings. Mobile units in rural villages were mentioned as a way to improve learnings in rural communities - but there's no substitute for training the educators and parents of students, that they can then pass on knowledge, and the art of acquiring it, to their charges.
Prof. Diana Laurillard was very clear in her strong opinion that technology itself can lend very little to the education of our students.
"What it takes to learn isn't going to change, you can't do transformational, mind-changing learning in a chatroom with your mates"
"What it takes to learn isn't going to change, you can't do transformational, mind-changing learning in a chatroom with your mates"
Mentors and educators, within a formal learning environment were strongly put forward as the key cogs in the machine of education - a view that has been almost skipped over previously in all the excitement about technology, and one that it would be well to keep close to our hearts. Even assuming we were able to perfectly vet the internet, and ensure that it contained all the knowledge that a student wanted to learn, Dr. Jim Ptaszynski reminded us - this would still not be enough for a student to properly understand and implement all that they want to learn. I would go one step further and say that a part of the role of an educator is not only to facilitate students learning what they want to learn - it is to inspire them and exponentially increase the range of subjects about which they have a passion, about which they want to know more.
But this is still a positive, still a strategy for success. We can use technology to invest in our educators (and this doesn't just mean faculty, often parents of students can be major players in their education). Technology can be used to help teachers use their time better, by moving from a variable cost to a fixed cost model through distributed learning, by helping teachers to use their time better - rather than just being used as a presentation model as it unfortunately so often is right now.

Peer learning
Dorothy Gordon provided a counterpoint to the above, showing an advocacy for collaborative peer learning, especially when implemented through wiki-like systems. This may seem a turn backwards, until you consider her inspirational statement:
"Online communities eliminate barriers of location and funding, because in a peer-learning community, education is free"
"Online communities eliminate barriers of location and funding, because in a peer-learning community, education is free"
However, it's unfair to our speakers to suggest that any of them believe that only one route is correct, and indeed many of them advocated a blended learning approach. A particularly succinct explanation was 'teacher support peer learning' - combining the new with the old, which is often the only way to merge change into a well established, and currently very successful system. Change and improvement are necessary, important and will be superb to see - but we can't forget that our education systems today are producing many, many great results right now, and have been doing so for decades.
Educator Training
An oft-quoted 'excuse' as to the difficulty of change is that of faculty resistance, faculty readiness or other such terms in a similar vein. It is certainly true that our educators are well training in a current system, and as 'digital immigrants' will almost certainly know less about technologies than their students.
Richard Descoings suggests that faculty should be going out and learning technology if they're merely to keep up with their students, let alone have an edge which they can use to impart knowledge. He also came up with the interesting theory that educators may lose 'credit' with their students if they talk about technology with them and show a lack of knowledge. True - but may they not also learn through these conversations?
We also need to consider the tools which are provided to educators - we've given them PowerPoint and the web and they've embraced and love them, but consider this with the amount of technology often available to the average student. Without investment in our educators, those who facilitate, manage and run the learning for our students, how can we possibly hope to get a significant ROI on those they're educating?
New Business Models
It is important to understand what is driving academics - and according to Prof. Diana Laurillard the thing that is mostly driving them right now is high quality research which brings in big money for the University. What we need is a review of the fundamental business model of a University, in order to ensure it remains sustainable and relevant.
We should leverage the fact that the multi-nationals believe they have not only a social responsibility to invest in our education system, but also that public-private sector partnerships can be strongly beneficial to both sides of the partnership. As Commissioner Figel mentioned earlier in this conference, the research benefits, professional benefits and workforce benefits of a high-quality tertiary education sector can impact all aspects of a society and an economy.

Tasting Notes
Producer's Note
Nose: A complex amalgam of nougat, spotted dog pudding (sans sultanas!) and orange blossom honey with the vanilla spinning tangled webs just beneath. Honey is captured as the bourbon element expands...; a delicate gristiness ushers in a freshness to the custard tart.
Taste: The mouth feel exudes star quality with the barley generating all kinds of juicy riches with the light Demerara sugars forming an elegant accompaniment. A coppery spine is soon carrying the barley in varied forms while a gorgeous cocoa sub strata heralds in the spices which buzz the taste buds at will.
Finish: Beautifully relaxed: a light tingle from the spices pulses contentedly, the vanillas gather in deeper intensity yet the barley and copper stretches to the end.
Balance: Yet another astonishing malt from India. 46%.

Marriage Mentor Training Manual for Wives
Session One
Should We Do This Training in a Group or on Our Own?
Because we want to eliminate any hurdles that may exist in getting a marriage mentoring ministry off the ground, we have designed our training program to be flexible --- so that it can be implemented in a small church of just a few dozen to a megachurch with thousands, by individual couples in the comfort of their own home or in a group of any size. This session of the manual will elaborate on how the training can be used best in either an individual couple or group setting.
If you are doing the training as an individual couple,
proceed to the section titled 'How Marriage Mentors Learn Best' on the next page. If you are doing the training in a group setting, we suggest that you spend a few minutes introducing yourselves to the rest of the couples and, depending on the time available, answering at least one of the following questions:
* How did the two of you meet?
* How did you get engaged? Describe the proposal.
* Why are you interested in marriage mentoring?
How Marriage Mentors Learn Best
We have taught university courses for nearly two decades. And because our university takes teaching seriously, we often are required to attend workshops on 'pedagogy' (pronounced ped-a-go-gee), a five-dollar word meaning 'methods of instruction.' As professors, we want to know how our students best learn a particular subject, so we in turn can use techniques and tools to help them internalize it and be able to use their new knowledge effectively.
We've given that same serious attention to exploring how you, as marriage mentors, will absorb, retain, and practice the information you'll be learning in this program. We conducted research on mentors-in-training. We've done pre- and post-tests to know what works and what doesn't. We've even conducted research with control groups to know if a particular piece of training makes any difference.
We say all this to let you know that this program is designed with great intention. And as you will soon see, it relies heavily on interaction. Sure, you will read a bit of content, complete a few self-tests, and view some real-live mentors on the training DVD. But much of your learning will take place as you talk with each other --- husband and wife. Indeed, you'll learn more from what you say to each other than you will from any lecture, workshop, or seminar on this subject.
Why Do We Need Two Training Manuals?
You may be thinking, This is a couple's training program. Can't we just share a manual? It's a fair question. But let us tell you why having two manuals --- his and hers --- is essential for this training.
First, you will see that each manual has a session specific to that manual.
This is where we speak directly to husbands and directly to wives about what they uniquely bring to the table of marriage mentoring. Each of us is hardwired differently for this task, and to be effective we need to give serious attention to our gender differences as marriage mentors --- so that we might use them to our advantage with our mentorees.
Second, even if these unique sections were not included, it's important to complete many of the exercises on your own --- before you explore them with your spouse. If you were to see your spouse's answers to particular questions before you answer the same questions yourself, it would influence your response and drain energy and authenticity from your training sessions.
Allow us to illustrate our point by having you do a brief exercise right now.
Note: Before beginning the exercise, become familiar with our simple system of symbols for types of exercises throughout the manual:
q = An exercise to complete on your own qq = An exercise to complete with your spouse,
typically a discussion of an on-your-own exercise qqq = An exercise to complete couple to couple or in a larger group
Exploring Potential Fears of Marriage Mentoring (5 minutes) q Complete the following two sentence-stems as best as you can --- without consulting your husband to do so.
In beginning this training program on marriage mentoring, my greatest fear is . . .
In beginning this training program on marriage mentoring, my husband's greatest fear is . . .
qq Once you both have taken a minute to complete these sentences,
compare notes. Are the answers your husband gave ones you would have predicted? Do you now know something new about each other that you didn't know just five minutes ago?
You get the point. This workbook will have dozens of opportunities for the two of you to talk with each other; and to make these conversations all they can be, you'll each need your own gender-specific training manual.
Of course, beyond two separate manuals from which to work, there are other ways to ensure you get as much out of this training as possible. We offer suggestions for doing just that in the next section.
George, age ninety-two, and Jane, age eighty-nine, are all excited about their decision to get married. While out for a stroll to discuss wedding plans, they happen to pass a drugstore and stop in. George asks to speak to the owner.
'We're about to get married,' George informs him. 'Do you sell heart medication?'
'Of course we do,' the owner replies.
'How about support hose to help with poor circulation?'
'What about medicine for rheumatism, osteoporosis, and arthritis?'
George continues.
'All kinds,' says the owner with confidence.
'How about waterproof furniture covers and Depends?'
'Hearing aids, denture supplies, and reading glasses?' the groom-to-be asks.
'What about eyedrops, sleeping pills, Geritol, and Ensure?'
'Do you sell wheelchairs, walkers, and canes?'
'All kinds and sizes,' the owner replies. 'But why all these questions?'
George smiles and proudly announces, 'We'd like to use your store as our bridal registry.'
Who can blame them? They're simply preparing, in very practical terms,
for their journey together. And that's what we want to do next: prepare you for where you're going as a marriage mentor couple,
equipping you with what you'll need to make this training experience the best it can be.
We'll begin with a quick overview of where we're headed, then a look at what's required of you, followed by some simple suggestions for maximizing your experience, and a final note on how to use each of the marriage mentoring resources available to you.
Where We're Headed
Before beginning a new journey, it's always helpful to chart the course. So let's survey the territory ahead.
Here, in session 1, we are merely giving you a few suggestions on how to use these marriage mentoring resources effectively.
In session 2, we paint a big picture of marriage mentoring. In other words,
we make sure you understand 'the concept' and how it works.
In session 3, we roll up our proverbial sleeves and take a good look at how your gender --- as a woman --- impacts the marriage mentoring process. You see, what you bring to this process, by virtue of your biology, is different from what your husband brings to it.
In sessions 4 -- 9, we teach you the time-tested skills you'll need as you work with your mentorees. These skills are universal, applicable to any and every age and stage of marriage, whether you are mentoring newlyweds or couples in distress.

Product Description
Passenger Side Front Wheel Cylinder for 1965-1973 Mustangs with a V8 Engine.Front wheel cylinders are cylindrical parts with a steel outer casing that houses both the rubber plunger and rubber seals to make up the inside of the wheel cylinder. This cylinder is responsible for accepting incoming brake fluid from the brake line and turn it into usable force to push against the drum brake shoes. Given that this is a crucial part in your braking system, it is a part you need to check when upgrading other braking system parts and make sure they continue to function properly to insure steady braking and safety.
*Fits passenger side on 1965-1969 Mustangs with a small block V8, 1970-1972 Mustangs with a V8, and all 1973.

I have to give it props thou...for a 4k lbs car, it handles like a champ.
And that track conditions (at least in one of the reviews) was not exactly good (cold and dusty was a comment made by another magazine on the same track, presumably about the same day). I'm making some assumptions based on the information they posted, but no less than you that these are times to be expected from a stock car. GM has posted pretty accurate acceleration data in the past, so I expect these are going to be pretty close to the numbers we'll see, real world. If I'm wrong about conditions, I'll stand corrected.

Re: My HP 6910p is becoming extremely hot
Before you continue to use the computer make sure the Internal cooling fan is working on this computer. Keep your hand next to the air vents and see if you feel the air blowing out of the vents.
1: Make sure the Air vents are clean
2: Use a Compressed Air can to blow the dust out
3: Update the BIOS on the computer ( Note: Make sure both the AC Adapter and the Battery is connected to the computer when you perform a BIOS update)
Let me know if this helps
**Please Mark a Reply "Accept As Solution" if this has resolved your issue.**
I Work On Behalf Of HP
Re: My HP 6910p is becoming extremely hot
Well Thnx for this
but I have already tried all these things and they are not helping
Air vents are clean. I also cleaned my aptop from inside 3 days ago.
My bios is already up to date.
There is another problem that its battery is almost dead. It charges only 12-15 %
I think it is due to battery.
I have ordered a new one too
Thnx by the way.
Re: My HP 6910p is becoming extremely hot
Yes if the battery is trying but failing to charge the electrical resistance will develop a lot of heat. Reserve judgment until you get the new battery. I am thinking it will help a lot.
Re: My HP 6910p is becoming extremely hot
ok thanks
I will tell you after testing new battery.
Re: My HP 6910p is becoming extremely hot
I have tried neww battery today Its going great. Heat problem is solved now it does not become hot.

What Is Benign Hypermobility Joint Syndrome?
In this article
Benign hypermobility joint syndrome (BHJS) means your joints are "looser" than normal. It's a common joint or muscle problem in children and young adults.
The condition can cause pain or discomfort after exercise. It's not part of any disease.
Recommended Related to Children
Helping Your Child Use a Nebulizer
Sometimes children's allergy symptoms don't stop with a stuffy nose and watery eyes. If your child has allergic asthma, the most common form of asthma, exposure to allergens like pollen and mold can cause breathing passages to become swollen and inflamed. Childhood allergies that trigger asthma can lead to wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. When that happens, your child's doctor may prescribe the use of a breathing machine called a nebulizer. The following Q & A will help...
Read the Helping Your Child Use a Nebulizer article > >
Children or young adults with hypermobility usually have joint pain.
The pain is more common in the legs, such as the calf or thigh muscles. It most often involves large joints such as the knees or elbows. But it can involve any joint.
Some people also have mild swelling in the affected joints, especially during the late afternoon, at night, or after exercise or activity. That swelling may come and go within hours.
Who Gets It?
Girls' joints tend to be more mobile (looser) than those in boys of the same age. Younger children tend to report more pain. Teens may have fewer symptoms because their muscles and joints become tighter and stronger as they get older.
BHJS seems to happen more often in Asian-American children than in Caucasian children, and it is least common in African-American children. The reasons for that aren't clear.
When large groups of schoolchildren are tested, as many as 40% have the syndrome. About 10% of these children have hypermobility that can lead to pain after activities or at night. No one knows why some children feel that discomfort, while others with equally loose joints don't have pain or swelling.
Loose joints often run in families.
Simple tests show whether a child has a greater range of motion in their joints than normal. Doctors use several specific mobility tests, including:
- The wrist and thumb can be moved downward so the thumb touches the forearm.
- The little fingers can be extended back beyond 90 degrees.
- When standing, the knees are abnormally bowed backward when viewed from the side.
- When fully extended, the arms bend further than normal (beyond straight).
- When bending at the waist, with the knees straight, the child or adult can put their palms flat on the floor.
Since the symptoms of hypermobility can sometimes mimic arthritis, you may need to get lab tests to make sure your child doesn't have a more serious disorder (such as juvenile arthritis or other inflammatory conditions). In rare cases, you may need to get X-rays.

British Columbia provincial highways
Highway 15 (BC 15), known locally as the Pacific Highway, is a 20.99-kilometre-long (13.04 mi) north–south highway primarily located in the City of Surrey, British Columbia. The southern terminus is with Interstate 5 (I-5) near Blaine, Washington as Washington State Route 543 (SR 543). SR 543 is a 1.09-mile-long (1.75 km) connector between I-5 and the Canada–US border, linking with BC 15. Over 3,000 trucks per day pass through the border crossing along SR 543 and BC 15,[4] because the Peace Arch border crossing does not allow commercial trucks.
Route description[edit]
SR 543 starts at an incomplete trumpet interchange with I-5 and heads north, passing the now closed Blaine Municipal Airport. An at-grade interchange with H Street is next, before the road widens and an interior lane diamond interchange with D street, providing access to Blaine and the last northbound exit before the border.[5] Traffic from 12th Street can access both northbound and southbound SR 543, and traffic from southbound SR 543 can access 12th Street as the final interchange before the Canada–US border.[6]
The border features both a NEXUS lane for passenger vehicles,[7] as well as a Free and Secure Trade (FAST) lane for commercial trucks.[8] Border crossing times can become significantly delayed such as in the event of certain Seattle Mariners baseball games and summer holiday travel.[9] During the reconstruction of the Peace Arch border crossing, delays at the Pacific Highway crossing were similar to times seen right after the attacks of September 11.[10]
Continuing north, now as BC 15, the highway passes farmland and intersects 8 Avenue, which provides access to British Columbia Highway 99 to the west. The highway turns west slightly before entering Cloverdale and crossing over railroad tracks of the Southern Railway of British Columbia. BC 10 is intersected before the highway moves back towards the east and its original alignment on 176th Street. Farmland once again surrounds the highway as it interchanges with the Fraser Highway and terminates at a Parclo A4 interchange with BC 1.[11][12] On December 21, 2013 the CA$1 billion South Fraser Perimeter Road opened, linking the northern terminus of BC 15 to Delta in the west.[13]
The Pacific Highway was opened as a gravel road on July 12, 1913 and again on September 3, 1923 as a paved road. For a time between 1942 and 1958, BC 15 was designated number 99A after the King George Highway (Hwy. 99 from 1942 to 1972, Hwy. 99A from 1973 to 2006) superseded it as the primary route to the Canada–US border. In 2008, the highway was widened to four lanes as part of the Gateway Program to improve provincial highways in Metro Vancouver. (In 2009, the city of Surrey renamed "King George Highway" to "King George Boulevard").[citation needed]
Prior to the current Washington route numbering system, this route was designated as Primary State Highway 1 Truck Route.[14]
A construction project was completed in August 2008[15] on the United States side, at a total cost of US$50.8 million, which improved the interchange with D street, which is now raised above SR 543. The left lane from SR 543 in each direction is raised above for travelers wishing to access D Street, while the rest of the traffic continues below the intersection. Two additional lanes have been added going northbound, and one additional lane has been added southbound.[16]

Adobe Levels the Playing Field with AIR 1.5 for Linux
Adobe releases AIR 1.5 for Linux today, December 18, 2008. This is great news for Linux users that have been stuck with 1.1 Beta. AIR applications that have been unable to install should install and run without problems.
Also of note, there was a small update to the Adobe Flash Player yesterday, that smooths out a few glitches with the web-based application installer mechanism AIR uses to install local apps.
Adobe has committed to releasing all future updates to AIR in tandem for all 3 operating systems they support. No more will the Linux community need to wait months to get the new version.
Not familiar with AIR? That's OK, it's a great time to check it out. The Adobe Marketplace has tons of applications to try.
Shawn Powers is a Linux Journal Associate Editor. You might find him on IRC, Twitter, or training IT pros at CBT Nuggets.
These people will not be allowed on my computer
Adobe have managed to keep a market for Flash by stopping development of Javascript by joining MS in the 'development' standards process.
There is nothing in Flash that cannot be done fully openly and to encourage these land grabbers onto any computer I own would be plain stupid.
Flashblock - thank you!
GUI Install of AIR (GNOME)
Some assert that the CLI is required to install Adobe AIR. Wrong!
Using Nautilus' GUI, right-click on the Adobe BIN file and check under the Properties' Permissions tab, to allow executing the file as a program. Next, right-click and Rename the file to remove its .bin extension, so the file name is just AdobeAIRInstaller. Finally, double-click the file to run the Adobe installer, which pops open a new window, requests your authorization (password), and prompts you through the install. That's it.
You'll find AIR maintenance items in the Ubuntu "Accessories" menu (or the "Tools" menu of Mandriva Linux 2009). The .air file extension is associated with Adobe's run-time. An AIR application can be removed via the distro RPM or DEB package manager GUI, or by double-clicking its original .air installation file.
"Linux" does not have AIR.
"Linux" does not have AIR. "Linux x86" and/or "Linux amd64" (configured in a standard way) does. That's a tiny portion of "Linux", considering that Linux runs on Intel, PowerPC, ARM, SPARC, etc., and can also be running a screenreader rather than seen visually, for instance, If they'd made a producer product that created media according to the standards already developed and agreed (Dynamic HTML 5, SVG, SMIL, etc.), they'd be encouraging something that can be implemented on all platforms capable of it. Instead, they chose to try to own the downstream clients by creating their own custom client software that's proprietary.
So no, it doesn't run on Linux. In fact, it's the antithesis of Linux and FOSS.
I agree... but
I do agree but I think we should give Adobe a fair chance here... x32 and amd64 are the biggest branches of Linux so it seems rational to release for them first at least in the begining.
Adobes interest in (or should it be "qantum leap" to) Linux is very important for Linux.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Baby brings star to town
Relevant offers
Invercargill residents were left a little starstruck this afternoon when they spotted actor Sam Neill eating lunch in the city centre today.
The Queenstown-based actor was dining at Esk St's Bonsai Restaurant with family, who were visiting from Central Otago.
Neill said he was expecting a grandchild and the group had travelled down to use Invercargill's medical services, because there were none available in Central Otago.
''You can't have a baby in Central," he said.
"The whanau is expanding exponentially.''

The bug that turns plants into 'ZOMBIES': Parasite sterilises flowers and transforms petals into 'leaves' to reproduce
- After sterilisation caused by a parasite called phytoplasmas, the plants stay alive - but only for the good of the pathogen
- The petals turn green to look like leaves and attract insects that will help the parasite spread to other nearby plants
- It affects a range of plants, turning flowers into leaf tissue or producing a profusion of stems known as Witches' Broom
- Researchers from the John Innes Centre, Norwich, explained infected plant parts are eaten by leafhoppers, which spread the parasite
- Hope that their breakthrough could lead to new ways of controlling the bacterium by disrupting the protein without using pesticides
You might have played popular video game, Plants Vs. Zombies, but for some shrubs it is already too late.
For the first time, scientists have revealed how bacterial parasites can turn plants into the living dead.
A parasitic bacterium, called phytoplasmas, hijacks the reproductive organs of a plant and sterilises it so that the plants stay alive, but only for the good of the pathogen.
Scroll down for video
The living dead: The parasitic bacterium hijacks a plant's reproductive system and forced it to produce leaf-like structures (pictured bottom row) instead of flowers (top) to sterilise it so that the plant stays alive, but only for the good of the pathogen
- Flowers slowly become greener
- They change texture to become more leaf-like and when they renew they are more similar to leaf-like structures.
- A profusion of stems known as Witches' Brooms can also grow in place of the flowers, meaning that the plant is unable to reproduce.
- Symptomatic plants are more attractive to leafhoppers - which carry the parasite - and may be visible on infected plants, before they move on to fresh victims.
By turning the flower into what looks like a leaf, insects called leafhoppers, which carry and spread the parasite, are attracted.
This ensures that the bacteria is spread far and wide.
Other parasites are known to infect and control the brains of ants and can make rats more susceptible to predation.
'We know these parasites are puppet masters but the strings they are pulling have yet to be identified,' said Professor Saskia Hogenhout from the John Innes Centre in Norwich.
'For the first time, we can reveal how this remarkable manipulation takes place [in plants].
'In that sense, the plant world is ahead of animal biology – where manipulations also take place but no mechanisms have been uncovered to show how.'
The plant parasite in her study is spread by insects that grow on plants. It induces the plant to transform its flowers into leaves, sacrificing its reproductive success and becoming sterile. It becomes a zombie plant with no prospect of reproducing and is dependent on the survival of the bacteria.
Together with scientists at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, the team discovered that the parasitic bacterium produces a protein called SAP54 that is essential to this process. And the protein is dependent on a family of plant proteins called RAD23.
The carrier: Infected plant parts are eaten by leafhoppers (pictured) and the bacteria then colonises the insects, including their salivary glands. If the insect dribbles saliva as it sucks on another plant, the bacteria are able to spread onto new plant tissue, where the sterilisation process begins again
The bacterium affects a broad range of plants, turning flowers green, transforming them into leaf tissue or producing a profusion of stems known as Witches' Broom.
It is currently controlled by pesticides because it can also infect crops including: maize, wheat, carrots, tomatoes, potato, oilseed rape, and grapes.
The scientists hope that their breakthrough could lead to new ways of controlling the bacteria by disrupting the protein without using pesticides.
Infected plant parts are eaten by leafhoppers and the bacterium then colonises the insects, including their salivary glands.
Feeling green: The first sign that the parasite has taken hold of a plant (a healthy version is pictured left) is that its flower petals slowly turn green (pictured right) before being transformed into a more leaf-like tissue
If the insect dribbles saliva as it sucks on another plant, the bacterium is able to spread onto new plant tissue, where it sets to work on making the plant more attractive to leafhoppers.
The SAP54 and RAD23 proteins force the plant to transform its flowers into leaf-like material and become more attractive to leafhoppers. The leafhoppers pick up the bacterium from infected plants and can then spread the bacterial pathogen to more plants.
Professor Hogenhout said: 'This parasite is incapable of surviving without its insect and plant hosts and we showed that a parasite protein connects distinct processes in its host plant to manipulate both the plant and the insect.
Dr Allyson MacLean, of the John Innes Centre, who is the lead author of the study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, said: 'It is fascinating to consider that this bacterium is able to manipulate the way plants grow and the way insects behave to suit its own needs.'

A memorandum that changed the world79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3533426View Description Hide Description
We present an analysis of both the content and the influence of the 1940 memoir by Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls that showed that nuclear weapons were possible.
Classical applications of the Klein–Gordon equation79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3559500View Description Hide Description
The quantum mechanical origin of the Klein–Gordon equation hides its capability to model many classical systems. We consider three examples of vibrating systems whose mathematical descriptions lead to the Klein–Gordon equation. These examples are adapted to applications such as the motion of suspended cables and Inca rope suspension bridges. We also discuss the correspondence between the classical and quantum settings of this equation as a way to provide an explanation of the concept of mass.
Particles that take photographs of themselves: The emergence of the triggered cloud chamber technique in early 1930s cosmic-ray physics79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3545817View Description Hide Description
One of the major accomplishments of early elementary particle physics research was the development of an apparatus able to efficiently collect photographs of cosmic-ray particles. This accomplishment was achieved in 1932 at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge by triggering a cloud chamber with two appropriately connected counters. A careful analysis of the literature reveals that the development of the Cavendish apparatus was preceded and, in some respect, influenced by hybrid counter-cloud chamber devices devised previously in two U.S. laboratories.
Equation of the field lines of an axisymmetric multipole with a source surface79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3549206View Description Hide Description
Optical spectropolarimeters can be used to produce maps of the surfacemagnetic fields of stars and hence to determine how stellar magnetic fields vary with stellar mass, rotation rate, and evolutionary stage. In particular, we now can map the surfacemagnetic fields of forming solar-like stars, which are still contracting under gravity and are surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. Their large scale magnetic fields are almost dipolar on some stars, and there is evidence for many higher order multipole field components on other stars. The availability of new data has renewed interest in incorporating multipolar magnetic fields into models of stellar magnetospheres. I describe the basic properties of axial multipoles of arbitrary degree and derive the equation of the field lines in spherical coordinates. The spherical magnetic field components that describe the global stellar field topology are obtained analytically assuming that currents can be neglected in the region exterior to the star, and interior to some fixed spherical equipotential surface. The field components follow from the solution of Laplace's equation for the magnetostatic potential.
A double pendulum model of tennis strokes79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3556712View Description Hide Description
The physics of swinging a tennis racquet is examined by modeling the forearm and the racquet as a double pendulum. We consider differences between a forehand and a serve, and show how they differ from the swing of a bat and a golf club. It is also shown that the swing speed of a racquet, like that of a bat or a club, depends primarily on its moment of inertia rather than on its mass.
Five ways to the nonresonant dynamic Stark effect79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3553018View Description Hide Description
The dynamic Stark effect is the quasistatic shift in energy levels due to the application of optical fields. The effect is in many ways similar to the static Stark effect. However, the dynamic Stark effect can be applied on rapid time scales and with high energies, comparable to those of atoms and molecules themselves. The dynamic Stark effect due to nonresonant laser fields is used in a myriad of contemporary experiments to hold and align molecules, to shape potential energy surfaces, and to make rapid transient birefringence. Five approaches of increasing sophistication are used to describe the dynamic Stark effect. One application, molecular alignment, is summarized and a comparison is made between the dynamic Stark effect and Stokes light generation in a Raman scattering process.
Dirac, Majorana, and Weyl fermions79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3549729View Description Hide Description
We discuss the Dirac, Majorana, and Weyl fermion fields. The definitions and motivations for introducing each kind of field is discussed, along with the connections between them. It is pointed out that these definitions have to do with the proper Lorentz group and not with any discrete symmetry. The action of discrete symmetries, such as charge conjugation and CP on various types of fermion fields, which are particularly important for Majorana fermions, is also clarified.
Improving students' understanding of quantum mechanics via the Stern–Gerlach experiment79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3546093View Description Hide Description
The Stern–Gerlach experiment can play an important role in teaching the formalism of quantum mechanics. In the context of a finite-dimensional Hilbert space students can learn how to prepare a specific quantum state starting from an arbitrary state, issues related to the time evolution of the wave function and quantum measurement. The Stern–Gerlach experiment can also be used to teach the distinction between the physical space where the experiment is performed and the Hilbert space where the state of the system lies, and how information about the state of the system in the Hilbert space can be exploited to interpret the possible outcomes of the experiment in physical space. Students can learn the advantages of choosing an appropriate basis to make predictions about the outcomes of experiments with different arrangements of Stern–Gerlach devices. The latter can also help students understand that an ensemble of identically prepared systems is not the same as a mixture. We discuss student difficulties with the Stern–Gerlach experiment based on written tests and interviews with advanced undergraduate and graduate students in quantum mechanics courses. We also discuss preliminary data which suggest that the Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial on the Stern–Gerlach experiment is helpful in improving student understanding of these concepts.
Student understanding of wave behavior at a boundary: The limiting case of reflection at fixed and free ends79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3560430View Description Hide Description
We investigated student understanding of wave behavior at a boundary in the context of pulses and periodic waves in water and in elastic media. The participants were science and engineering majors in introductory calculus-based physics. We document several conceptual and reasoning difficulties and describe the refinement and assessment of our instructional materials. The results show significant improvements in student learning of some aspects of superposition and reflection, but some reasoning patterns that yield incorrect predictions persist. Among these difficulties is the tendency to employ simple rule-based approaches in cases in which a systematic application of the superposition principle is necessary to predict the motion of points in the medium over an interval of time.
Calibrating the frequency of tuning forks by means of Lissajous figures79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3546095View Description Hide Description
We produce Lissajous figures by modulating a laser beam along two perpendicular directions by means of two tuning forks. When the ratio of the resonant frequencies of the tuning forks is a small rational number, Lissajous figures are clearly resolved on a screen. Because the ratio of frequencies is never exactly a rational number, a phase drift of the Lissajous figures is observed as a function of time. If the period of this phase drift is measured, variations in the resonant frequencies as small as 0.01 Hz can be detected.
Radial motion in a central potential for singular mass densities79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3549737View Description Hide Description
We study the radial motion of an object in the gravitational field produced by an isotropic mass density that is singular at the origin. This problem applies to elliptical galaxies and can be used to illustrate motion in a central field appropriate for an intermediate-level mechanics course.
Absorption of a pulse by an optically dense medium: An argument for field quantization79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3549235View Description Hide Description
The theory of the absorption of a weak optical pulse by an optically dense medium is shown to lead to unphysical results unless the radiation field is quantized. In contrast to the photoelectric effect, the atom-field dynamics for pulsed field absorption can be obtained using elementary quantum mechanics without imposing any assumptions on the nature of the detection process. As such, pulsed field absorption offers distinct advantages over the photoelectric effect as a proving ground for field quantization. If the classical field pulse is replaced by a quantized, multimode field state, many classical field results are recovered without the inconsistencies that arise in the classical field calculation.
Transparent quantum waveguide79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3553460View Description Hide Description
We present an alternative approach to the teaching of introductory quantum mechanics by considering the interaction between a particle and a waveguide. We focus on the accumulated phase when the particle travels across a waveguide composed of an arbitrary number of rectangular sections and show that the condition for resonant transmission can be deduced to leading order by simple algebra.
Newton's superb theorem: An elementary geometric proof79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3552142View Description Hide Description
Newton's "superb theorem" for the gravitational force states that a spherically symmetric mass distribution attracts a body outside as if the entire mass were concentrated at the center. This theorem is crucial for Newton's comparison of the Moon's orbit with terrestrial gravity, which is evidence for the law. In this paper, we give an elementary geometric proof, which is simpler than Newton's geometric proof and more elementary than proofs using calculus.

The implications of a robust curriculum in introductory mechanics79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3557069View Description Hide Description
We have developed a curriculum for introductory mechanics that emphasizes interactive engagement and conceptual understanding using the studio format. As previously reported, we have shown in three different quarters that the curriculum much improved the students' conceptual understanding compared to the traditional course without significantly affecting the scores on a traditional final exam. Here we report the results for the entire three-year period during which the course was taught, 34 sections of the course were taught with 11 different instructors to over 1200 students. In each term, these sections had common exams, syllabus, and schedule. Student experiences were very similar in terms of activities. Student performance was measured using the force and motion conceptual evaluation or the force concept inventory; the average pre/post normalized gain was 0.59. There was no significant correlation with any instructor characteristics, including teaching experience, knowledge of interactive-engagement methods, and attitudes. Because the instructor characteristics are not important, it is the structure of the course that promotes the learning gains.

Demonstrating superposition of waves and Fourier analysis with tuning forks and MacScope II79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3549196View Description Hide Description
In this paper we describe a simple demonstration that shows how the Fourier spectrum of sound waves affect sound quality. It requires only a set of tuning forks, mounted on resonance boxes, and computer data collection hardware and software capable of capturing sound waves and displaying their waveforms and Fourier spectra.
Demonstration of optical spatial coherence using a variable width source79(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3549723View Description Hide Description
We describe an experiment that clearly shows the change in optical spatial coherence as a function of source size. The experiment is easy to set up, requires modest equipment, and gives a striking demonstration of the celebrated phase shift of the interference fringes. The experiment yields quantitative results that agree well with theory. Setup and data acquisition are suitable for a 3 h upper division undergraduate physics laboratory.
