Interfaith Month: Activities to promote understanding of 'many faiths, one family' kick off Feb. 1
"We are especially encouraging people who are new to the city to come and get a sense of the different faith groups that make up the downtown community," Wright said.
The 2013 Interfaith Month will also feature a first-ever event in Park City: a Feb. 26 presentation at St. Luke's Episcopal Church from Utah Interfaith Power and Light about climate change.
And if that doesn't capture your religious fancy, perhaps you'll be more inclined toward another first-time event: the "Utah Yoga Rave" on March 9, with an emphasis on "spirituality through movement and meditation."
"Interfaith Month has evolved," Wright observed. "It used to be mostly a spectator sport, with lots of lectures and speeches, and people would sit and watch. Now we're trying to do more interactive things to get those who make the effort to come more involved in experiencing the different faith groups. So its less of a sit-down, formal thing."
Other Interfaith Month events will feature tours and presentations by area Muslims, Hindus, Episcopalians, Christian Scientists, Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Baptists and Greek Orthodox observers. For a complete listing of titles, times and locations of Interfaith Month activities please go to http://interfaithroundtable.org/2013events.htm.
As always, the crowning event of Interfaith Month will be the Musical Tribute in the Salt Lake LDS Tabernacle on Temple Square on Sunday, March 10, at 6 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public, featuring music, dance and devotionals from a wide variety of Utah faith groups and cultures. In the past, the Musical Tribute has been held the fourth Sunday of February, but this year it was moved into March so it would not interfere with the Jewish Purim observance.
"The concert is sort of a microcosm of what we're trying to create during the month, with all of these religious groups coming together to share their culture and traditions," said David Sharp, the aforementioned "none," who is in charge of putting together this year's show.
"We always put out fliers for the show, and we usually get a number of guests who come because it's in the Tabernacle and they happen to be in town," Emmi said. "Inevitably, they are amazed that in a state known for being so Mormon, we have this amazing event where we're celebrating this wonderful diverse religious population that people don't realize is here, and we're doing it right there in the Mormon Tabernacle."
This year, Sharp is especially excited about a group of students from BYU who have put together a gamelan orchestra, which he said is a traditional Indonesian musical ensemble consisting of metallophones, xylophones, bamboo flutes and drums.
"This will be a unique musical experience," said Sharp, who is also a musician and plays dulcimer in the ethnic/folk musical group Idlewild.
There will also be a children's dance group from the Salt Lake Buddhist Temple Dharma School and three children's choral groups: the Salt Lake Children's Choir, the Juan Diego Choir and the Hindu children's choir. "And the Turkish Muslim group promises a 'whirling dervish,'" said Sharp, referring to the whirling dance traditionally performed by Sufi Muslim holy men.
"Come curious," Emmi said of the concert and all of the other Interfaith Month events. "Invest a little time here and you'll learn something, you'll feel something and you'll understand your neighbors a whole lot more."

DIY Projection clock
Courtesy of the Make Blog, go surf over and check out these instructions for building your own projection digital clock. The idea is pretty simple: modify a cheap digital watch from the dollar store by mounting a couple of bright LED lights behind the LCD display, and then use a lens to focus the enlarged version on the wall/ceiling. Neat!
The author, Raphael Assénat, has lots of other cool projects as well: of particular interest to me was his neat article on extracting the sound hardware from a Super Nintendo and wiring it to his PC. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for one of these at Goodwill.  Cool stuff.

Thank you for supporting the Austin Children's Shelter, and for sponsoring my marathon! In 2008, I ran a half marathon with Team FX. This year I'm going for the full 26.2 MILES!
I run in memory of my dad, Joe Stewart (November 1, 1947 - April 24, 2007), who always emphasized the importance of loving each other. He showed love and compassion to everyone he encountered. My dad lost the ability to walk due to a form of Muscular Dystrophy and was confined to a wheelchair the year I was born. My goal is to carry on his life's mission of love.
By supporting the Austin Childrens Shelter, you show your love to abused and neglected children. 100% of your donation goes directly to the shelter, is tax deductible, and aids children on their path of healing and recovery.
Love and Many Thanks!

In this paper, the sample database for data mining is designed by analyzing historical data of raw cotton properly and spinning yarn quality. Based on the above analytic result, we design the BP neural network model for spinning yarn qualities prediction. And the model was used to forecast and analyze the spinning strength, unevenness value and filoplume. Finally, simulation and test result show that the method has excellent effect.

He's really really cute, and packs a punch when he gets mad… but the attack rate is way to slow.
I generally have everyone dead before he attacks. :(
Thanks for the feedback – we've heard this from a few people so we'll see what we can do to improve his utility. :)
first post for the bunny that concern a few people and you answer quick. many many post and comments for the key's price and replay dungeon button and still silence…..
the game is perfect exept those two points, will you do something? sorry for posting on this thread but it's the only way i have to be sure i reach you.
The bunny does need improvements I have also noticed that the enemies have to be in range of the bunny to attack too, as a ranger this means purposefully moving closer into the mobs for the bunny to attack which defetes the purpose of being a ranger lol. The other pets have a good attack style how they go ahead to attack unlike the bunny that waits behind. Hope you can sort something out with this still a great pet though :D

Finlay's garden includes a number of stone sculptures representing aircraft carriers, including a bird bath and a bird table. The idea of local sparrows taking off from the deck of an aircraft carrier is typical of Finlay's wit. This print pays homage to HMS Illustrious, the first British aircraft carrier. She was attacked by Stuka dive-bombers near Sicily in January 1941 and suffered extensive damage. After putting in at Malta for repairs, she was attacked again. The Latin phrase 'Vox non incerta' ('With no uncertain voice') is the motto of HMS Illustrious.

Bluewater is a rural/residential suburb approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north[2] of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. The greater Bluewater area comprises three recognised districts - the Bluewater township itself (population 701), Bluewater Park (population 961), and Toolakea (population 205). As of the 2006 census, the population of the greater Bluewater area was 1,867.[1]
Bluewater was settled in the late nineteenth century, and was close to the Purono rail siding, constructed in 1919 on the extension of the North Coast railway line from Townsville to Ingham. During World War II, Bluewater became campground to a number of service personnel whose responsibility it was to resist Japanese invasion.
It wasn't until 1946 that land was first subdivided along Bluewater Beach, followed by subdivisions of Toolakea Beach and the Bluewater Township in the 1950s.[3]
Bluewater Post Office opened by May 1960.[4]
Bluewater today[edit]
Today, Bluewater is a thriving community containing a number of facilities and attractions. Bluewater Park is a popular tourist destination with designated free campsites, and is located close to the Bluewater Store (currently closed for business), Bluewater Creek, and the newly developed Urban Forest and Fitness Trail. Toolakea and Bluewater Beach are popular recreational areas, and there is a boat ramp facility and waste transfer station towards the end of Bluewater Drive.[5]
Other facilities in the Bluewater area include a post office,[6] a community centre, a Girl Guides training & camping centre,[7] a Scout hall, and Bluewater State School.[8] There is also a Bluewater Caravan Park and Bluewater Medical Practice, however they are both technically located in Purono Park, on the Bruce Highway.

I hope everyone knows that clown was buying after that article went out.

I encourage him to write another hit piece and get this stock into overdrive. I like it when he called we investors stupid, dumb, etc. I guess we know who the stupid one now is. He should consider another line of work, like reading torah cards while traveling with a band of Gypsies.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcome of phenobarbital treatment for convulsive epilepsy in rural China, and to explore factors associated with overall seizure outcomes.
Methods: We carried out follow-up assessments of people who took part in an epilepsy community management program conducted in rural counties of six provinces in China. People with convulsive epilepsy who were previously untreated (or on irregular treatment) were commenced on regular treatment with phenobarbital. Information was collected using a standardized questionnaire by face-to-face interviews of the individuals (and their families where necessary). Information collected included treatment status, medication change, seizure frequency, and mortality.
Key Findings: Among the 2,455 people who participated in the original program, outcomes were successfully ascertained during the follow-up assessment in 1986. Among them, 206 had died. Information on treatment response was obtained in 1,780 (56% male; mean age 33.9 years, range 3–84; mean duration of follow-up 6.4 years). Among them, 939 (53%) were still taking phenobarbital. The most common reasons for stopping phenobarbital were seizure freedom or substantial seizure reduction, socioeconomic reasons, and personal preference. Four hundred fifty-three individuals (25%) became seizure-free for at least 1 year while taking phenobarbital, 88% of whom did so at daily doses of 120 mg or below. Four hundred six (23%) reported adverse events, which led to withdrawal of phenobarbital in <1%. The most common adverse effects were malaise/somnolence (7.4%), dizziness (3%), and lethargy (2.6%). At the follow-up assessment, 688 (39%) individuals had been seizure free for at least the previous year. People with persistent seizures had significantly longer duration of epilepsy and higher number of seizures in the 12 months before treatment. People who were taking AED treatment irregularly at recruitment were less likely to become seizure-free.
Significance: We observed long-term benefits of regular treatment with phenobarbital for convulsive epilepsy in rural China. One hundred years after the discovery of its antiepileptic effect, phenobarbital is still playing an important role in the management of epilepsy.

In a sense, this book is similar to Moneyball in that Lewis tells his story by following a host of characters that most of us have never heard of--people like Steve Eisman (the closest thing to a main character in the book), Vincent Daniel, Michael Burry, Greg Lippmann, Gene Park, Howie Hubler and others.
How informative is the book? Well, it may seem that Lewis has his work cut out for himself, since the events of the recent financial crisis are already well known. More than that, lots of people have their minds made up concerning who the perps of the last few years are--banks and their aggressive managers, "shadow banks" and their even more aggressive managers, hedge funds, credit default swaps, mortgage brokers, the ratings agencies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Fed's monetary policy, various federal regulators, short sellers, politicians who over-pushed home ownership, a sensationalist media, the American public that overextending itself with excessive borrowing (or that lied in order to get home loans), housing speculators, etc. The list goes on--and on. Okay, so you already know this.Read more ›
The cast of characters in Lewis's highly readable chronicle of the collapse (and what led to it) includes a misanthropic former medical resident, a money manager who saw himself as Spider-Man, and a pair of men in their thirties who started with $110,00 in a Schwab account they managed from a backyard shed in Berkeley, California. "Each filled a hole," Lewis writes. "Each supplied a missing insight, an attitude to risk which, if more prevalent, might have prevented the catastrophe."
Ever since he left Salomon Brothers to write Liar's Poker, the classic 1989 account of his years as a bond salesman, Lewis has been waiting for a day of reckoning. Little did he realize that the Wall Street he once knew now seems quaint. By 2007, it had morphed into a financial Frankenstein, a "black box" filled with hidden risks on complicated bets that could destroy its creators, but only if the government allowed it to do so.Read more ›
So what did I really think of the book? Well, Lewis should be commended for writing a book on the 2008 financial crisis from the most unique perspective thus far. Rather than focus on the major characters that a plethora of other books have focused on (Paulson, Bernanke, Geithner, etc.), Lewis tells his story using some extremely obscure characters as his lead actors: A handful of hedge fund managers who made massive bets against the subprime industry (and by hedge fund managers, I am not referring to high profile, well-known hedgies; I am talking about very, very minor players).Read more ›

1986 Apology to First Nations Peoples
Long before my people journeyed to this land your people were here, and you received from your elders an understanding of creation and of the mystery that surrounds us all that was deep, and rich, and to be treasured.
We did not hear you when you shared your vision. In our zeal to tell you of the good news of Jesus Christ we were closed to the value of your spirituality.
We confused Western ways and culture with the depth and breadth and length and height of the gospel of Christ.
We imposed our civilization as a condition of accepting the gospel.
We tried to make you be like us and in so doing we helped to destroy the vision that made you what you were. As a result, you, and we, are poorer and the image of the Creator in us is twisted, blurred, and we are not what we are meant by God to be.
We ask you to forgive us and to walk together with us in the spirit of Christ, so that our peoples may be blessed and God's creation healed.
The Right Rev. Bob Smith
General Council 1986

spotted a sign advertising this restaurant on my way back from Tulum, decided to give it a try as it was a few blocks away from the hotel I was staying in; such a good idea. My wife and I were a bit late as we went to the beach that day, it was not a problem for the attentive staff who brought us iced water and offered cold refreshing drinks on arrival. Every course was beautifully presented (I particularly enjoyed the duck and the fillet mignon) and the bread was freshly baked. The sommelier was very attentive and knowledgable without pushing his expensive wines. Overall it was quite a culinary experience, having eaten in more than 10 countries, I would say that this meal was amongst the top five meals I ever had.

What is the best website platform?
by Spongey Posted: 04/22/2011
I am wondering what you all think is the easiest website platform that can be accessed through a user name/password (software doesn't live on your computer). I have clients that want to be able to make changes themselves to their websites later on. (Point-of-reference: Joomla and Drupal are not the easiest). Has to be cheap or free, and you can put a decent shopping cart on it. No steep learning curve.#web design #platform #website
- addaminsanethe flexibility that wordpress has recently introduced is ridiculous, you can do so many things with it. (this is coming from a long time joomla enthusiast)
Sites such as themeforest.net show expamples of amazing ways you can code a template. This site has created a means for normal people to make money off of making truely amazing work. They don't need a business, they just create a bad ace product and it sells like wildfire.
You can use custom post types that have special fields making it very easy for the lay person to correctly present a certain type of content.
You can create a "white label" backend dumbed down for the user.
Elliott condon has a great new "advanced custom fields" plugin, that i think is currently one of the most powerful up and coming wordpress plugins ever made for creating custom post types and page templates with super easy administration ability.
If you simply google elliot condon and look at this plugin, you'll understand what im talking about.
Im particularly excited about using it to create ratings / reviews / rankings type pages for affiliate sites, but the point is that it adds fields in the post type so you can very easily add content and create items associated with other fields etc.
- StudioArthaSpongey,
Speaking as a new recruit to WordPress, I second the idea: you can do marvelous things with WP. And prior to that, I always thought you had to hand code everything.
I remember seeing a theme on Elegant Themes site (no, I am not an affiliate) that was called eStore, or something like that. Right out of the box it did everything right to payment! Shopping cart and all.
While I did not get into the detail of it, and to be fair you have to do some tinkering to get these elegant themes to really fly. But you could have this thing up and running in one day!
Joe-Bob says "Check it out!"
- AdeptrisI would also go with WordPress, and ditch "a client" that wanted "free or cheap" as this would reflect on what you can deliver within a cheap or free budget.
There are loads of good paid and free plugins for WordPress, the research, testing, load testing and tweeking of these will take a bit of time, I cannot see how you could scratch the surface in "1 day" it would take that in research.
Lastly your time is money is that time going to be "free or cheap"?
- Siddiqaddaminsane@ Well I was looking for this info too, Thanks
- Evan-M
You get what you pay for in my opinion and the thesis theme for wordpress is the best Content Management System on Offer. Its a premium version of the standard wordpress framework which you can customize or simply add a premium skin/theme.
I've written full review of Thesis and another post on thesis seo settings
What does thesis allow that cannot be done in the same amount of time as a default WordPress install? I find thesis very limiting , especially when it comes to layout.
- rosarionetFew suggestions
osCommerce is absolutely free under the GNU General Public License and caters very well to most peoples needs. Unsurprisingly, considering how easy it is to set up and run, its extremely popular, powering over 228,700 online stores. Such popularity does come with a significant downside however- it makes it harder for you to differentiate your store from the thousands of others out there. If you want to stand out from the crowd, youre going to need to use some of the 5,800 add-ons available, some of which cost money.
Not only does OpenCart look great, its extremely scalable. You can create an unlimited number of categories, sell an unlimited number of products, accept multiple currencies, use multiple languages, and choose from over 20 payment and 8 shipping methods. Its user-friendly and search-engine-friendly too, so will help your prominence in Google. Customers can even review and rate the items you sell. Its not as popular as osCommerce, so help and guidance is not so freely available, but its a darn sight better looking.
The best thing about Zeuscart is its user interface, which is rich, attractive, user-friendly and generally less boring than most of the open-source UIs that I have to look at on a daily basis. Designed with small and medium businesses in mind, users can make the most of SEO friendly URLs, gift cards, discounts, email templates and tier-pricing, which makes it possible to decrease prices for bulk orders.
- EconomicalDomainsI would also recommend Wordpress for a CMS. Basically any webmaster knows how to use it these days, and if not, it is very easy to learn.
- Flugelbinderswordpress is the ideal fit for what you and your base will need down the road. Very user friendly and easy to teach via phone/chat.
- alswinpitarASP.net is the best platform for website build and develop any website project with design and its coding. ASP.net the C# is the best web development language and it always the best website platform.
- jleavitt13Thanks for the tips and recommendations all. I myself have always been a huge fan of wordpress. It does have the best user-end functionality and I think it also has the best longevity as compared to other CMS's they update very frequently.
- conceptstiWordpress would be the easiest and have the smallest learning curve.

Endometritis is inflammation of the endometrial lining of the uterus. In addition to the endometrium, inflammation may involve the myometrium and, occasionally, the parametrium.
Endometritis can be divided into pregnancy-related endometritis and endometritis unrelated to pregnancy. When the condition is unrelated to pregnancy, it is referred to as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Endometritis is often associated with inflammation of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis), ovaries (oophoritis), and pelvic peritoneum (pelvic peritonitis). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2015 sexually transmitted diseases treatment guideline defines PID as any combination of endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pelvic peritonitis.[1, 2]
The diagnosis of endometritis is usually based on clinical findings, such as fever and lower abdominal pain (see Clinical Presentation).
Most cases of endometritis, including those following cesarean delivery, should be treated in an inpatient setting. For mild cases following vaginal delivery, oral antibiotics in an outpatient setting may be adequate (see Treatment and Management, as well as Medication).
Infection of the endometrium, or decidua, usually results from an ascending infection from the lower genital tract. From a pathologic perspective, endometritis can be classified as acute versus chronic. Acute endometritis is characterized by the presence of neutrophils within the endometrial glands. Chronic endometritis is characterized by the presence of plasma cells and lymphocytes within the endometrial stroma.
In the nonobstetric population, pelvic inflammatory disease and invasive gynecologic procedures are the most common precursors to acute endometritis. In the obstetric population, postpartum infection is the most common predecessor.
Chronic endometritis in the obstetric population is usually associated with retained products of conception after delivery or elective abortion. In the nonobstetric population, chronic endometritis has been seen with infections (eg, chlamydia, tuberculosis, bacterial vaginosis) and the presence of an intrauterine device.
The intrauterine device as a factor in the etiology of pelvic inflammatory disease was associated with early forms of the device, in particular, the Dalkon Shield. The incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease is not higher in users of modern intrauterine devices than in non-users.[3, 4, 5]
Endometritis is a polymicrobial disease involving, on average, 2-3 organisms. In most cases, it arises from an ascending infection from organisms found in the normal indigenous vaginal flora.
Commonly isolated organisms include Ureaplasma urealyticum, Peptostreptococcus, Gardnerella vaginalis, Bacteroides bivius, and group B Streptococcus. Chlamydia has been associated with late-onset postpartum endometritis. Enterococcus is identified in up to 25% of women who have received cephalosporin prophylaxis.
Herpes and tuberculosis are rare causes, although in some countries tuberculosis is not an uncommon etiologic agent.[6, 7, 8]
The incidence of postpartum endometritis in the United States varies depending on the route of delivery and the patient population. After a vaginal delivery, incidence is 1-3%. Following cesarean delivery, the incidence ranges from 13-90%, depending on the risk factors present and whether perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis had been given. In the nonobstetric population, concomitant endometritis may occur in up to 70-90% of documented cases of salpingitis.
Nearly 90% of women treated with an approved regimen note improvement in 48-72 hours. Delay in initiation of antibiotic therapy can result in systemic toxicity.
Endometritis is associated with increased maternal mortality due to septic shock. However, mortality is rare in the United States because of aggressive antimicrobial management.
In the PID Evaluation and Clinical Health (PEACH) study, endometritis was not found to be associated with subsequent pregnancy-related complications, chronic pelvic pain, or infertility.[9]

CLEVELAND: The Ohio Lottery saw an eighth consecutive year of record profits, getting a boost from slots-like video terminals at two racinos and interactive games played by tavern patrons, according to a report from the lottery commission.
The commission on Monday reported that profits for the year ending June 30 were more than $803 million, up from $771 million in the previous fiscal year. The profits go to public education in the state.
Sales of traditional lottery games fell 1.4 percent, including the Pick 3 and Pick 4 number games, and instant scratch-off tickets.
Sales of Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets, both big sellers, dropped 3.5 percent and 8.7 percent. Instant tickets, which account for more than half of sales, were down more than 5 percent. However, sales of traditional lottery games were better than officials had projected.
Traditional lottery games might have been affected by racinos — combined race tracks and casinos — and the four casinos that opened in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati over the past year, according to the Plain Dealer, which reported the numbers Tuesday.
Scioto Downs in Columbus turned into a racino at the start of the fiscal year, and ThistleDown Racino near Cleveland followed on April 9. The lottery, which collects a 33.3 percent tax on video slots revenue, received a total of more than $55 million from the tracks before June 30.
Five more tracks will add the slots terminals, and the lottery expects to receive $3 million a month from each location. New tracks are under construction in the Youngstown and Dayton areas and north of Cincinnati.
Tavern games Keno and EZPlay also helped boost lottery profits last year, officials said.
State officials have asked lottery Director Dennis Berg to draft a plan for keeping the lottery strong. He said he wouldn't rule out joining the trend toward offering online casino games.
Berg has said sales of traditional lottery games have also been hurt by changes in shopping habits, with more people going to big-box stores and other places that don't typically offer lottery games.

NEW YORK (July 30, 2014) Tony Bennett says the public is about to find out what a great singer Lady Gaga is and Gaga says the public is about to find out what a crazy dresser Bennett is, when he shows up in his meat dress.
The two hit it off so well that they're releasing an album of jazz standards called "Cheek to Cheek" on Sept. 23.
Lady Gaga says she's been singing jazz since she was 13 and she's more comfortable with jazz than pop or R-and-B.
She says she's happier than she's ever been.

Growth retardation, to produce desired compact plants, is a financially important part of horticultural plant production (Oerum and Christensen, 2001). At present, growth retardation is accomplished by the use of various chemical growth regulators, but many of these compounds are potentially hazardous to the environment and to human health (US Environmental Protection Agency, 1993; De Castro et al., 2004; Sørensen and Danielsen, 2006). The use of the two compounds paclobutrazol and daminozide for controlling growth are prohibited in several countries, and new temporary guidelines for their use have recently been released in Denmark (Grøn Plantebeskyttelse ApS, 2008) while the Environmental Protection Agency is reevaluating the use of these two chemicals. Growth retarding chemicals inhibit the synthesis of gibberellic acid (GA) (Rademacher, 2000), however, GA also influences flowering time, fertility and morphogenesis in general (Fleet and Sun, 2005).
Biotechnological approaches to achieve growth retardation have similarly focused on GA biosynthesis. In rice (Oryza sativa), the 'green revolution rice' (Hedden, 2003; for review see Salamini, 2003), described as a semi dwarfed plant with significantly increased crop yield, has subsequently been shown to have a mutant allele of a GA20-oxidase (GA20ox), the gene encoding a rate-limiting enzyme in the active GA biosynthesis pathway (Lange, 1998).
Antisense silencing of GA20ox expression has been pursued in several plant species (Coles et al., 1999; Carrera et al., 2000; Oikawa et al., 2004). In general, reduction of GA20ox expression produces dwarfed plants with reduced internode length and a reduction in the content of active GA. However, lowering the GA levels also affects other fundamental processes in the plant life cycle. In Arabidopsis, antisense silencing of GA20ox's resulted in various phenotypes displaying smaller leaves, delayed flowering time and reduced fertility (Coles et al., 1999). Although the effect on flowering could be rescued by GA application, this treatment also reversed plant height to wild type. Overexpression of genes controlling the inactivation of GA has also been shown to result in dwarfed plants with delayed flowering time (Biemelt et al., 2004; Curtis et al., 2005; Dijkstra et al., 2008). We have previously shown that down-regulation of GA20ox's under the control of an inducible promoter in Kalanchoë resulted in similar phenotypes (Topp et al., 2008).
In recent years, several regulatory genes involved in GA signalling have been identified (recently reviewed in Hirano et al., 2008). Studies of the GA response in Arabidopsis have unravelled a range of new genes involved in GA signalling, but have also revealed the presence of a complicated regulatory network of proteins with a high degree of functional redundancy. Many of the identified genes belong to a family of transcriptional regulators, the so called DELLA proteins (Eckardt, 2002; Wen and Chang, 2002) a family consisting of five genes in Arabidopsis (Dill and Sun, 2001). DELLA proteins function as negative regulators of the GA response and are rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome pathway when GA levels rise. Plant growth manipulation has also been attempted through expression of DELLA proteins, for example ectopic expression of the Arabidopsis gai (GA INSENSITIVE) mutant DELLA gene (Koornneef et al., 1985) in rice conferred a dwarfed phenotype similar to the 'green revolution rice' (Fu et al., 2001). Genetic analysis has determined that gai is a mutant DELLA gene resulting in a deletion of the DELLA motif DELLAVLGYKVRSSEMA giving the product increased potency because it is resistant to GA mediated degradation (Peng et al., 1997). Ectopic expression of gai in Chrysanthemum also produced dwarfed plants. However, both the number and size of the flowers were reduced and the transgenic plants had delayed flowering time (Petty et al., 2001). Furthermore, overexpression of the Arabidopsis gai gene in apple also reduced the plant size, but the transgenic clones showed reduced rooting ability (Zhu et al., 2008).
Another gene demonstrated to be involved in GA response is the SHI gene, SHORT INTERNODES, isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana by Fridborg et al. (1999). The shi mutant was explained as an overexpression of the AtSHI gene directed by the 35S CaMV promoter inserted in the upstream region of the AtSHI coding region. The phenotype resembled a mutant defective in GA biosynthesis, however, the plants had elevated levels of GA, which indicated a defect in GA perception rather than biosynthesis. The plants had reduced apical dominance and an increased number of flowers, but most interestingly normal flowering time could be restored by GA application whilst the mutants remained dwarfed (Fridborg et al., 1999). The separation of flowering time and elongation growth makes the AtSHI gene an obvious candidate for a biotechnological approach to retard ornamental plants to produce compact and bushy cultivars in horticulture.
It is now clear that AtSHI is a member of a family of putative transcription factors comprising nine members all expressed in Arabidopsis (Fridborg et al., 2001; Kuusk et al., 2006). The proteins are partially redundant, e.g. they can compensate for each other and they probably function as multimers (Kuusk et al., 2006) to maintain auxin homeostasis (Sohlberg et al., 2006; Staldal et al., 2008).
Kalanchoë is a popular ornamental marketed worldwide both as indoor potted plants and as a garden plant. With an annual production of 42 million plants, Kalanchoë is the most produced ornamental plant in Danmark followed by Rosa hybrids (34 millions) and Campanula (18.5 millions), respectively (Floradania Marketing A/S, 2008). A compact plant growth habit is crucial for the quality of Kalanchoë, however, the natural growth pattern is very elongated. The Arabidopsis SHI (AtSHI) gene was chosen as candidate gene for controlling growth of Kalanchoë because its overexpression in Arabidopsis shows an attractive phenotype. Secondly, proof of transferability of the AtSHI phenotype among plant species would be valuable in horticulture for controlling plant growth. The AtSHI cDNA under control of the 35S CaMV promoter was transformed into eight Kalanchoë cultivars each having distinct growth habits. Various quality parameters were envisaged and showed that overexpression of AtSHI resulted in more compact plants with reduced plant height and diameter. Moreover, the vegetative height of the plants was increased leading to more compact inflorescences. This is to our knowledge the first example of exploring a transgenic approach using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation to control plant compactness while still maintaining flowering time.

Understanding Ulcer Treatment
In this article
How Do I Know If I Have an Ulcer?
Describing your symptoms may lead your doctor to suspect that you have a peptic ulcer, but it will not likely help determine the type, because the symptoms of stomach and duodenal ulcers are so similar. To make a specific diagnosis, your doctor may conduct several tests.
Endoscopy, in which a flexible fiber-optic tube is inserted down the throat to give the doctor a direct view of the inside of your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, is the most accurate diagnostic test to diagnose a peptic ulcer. This allows the doctor to determine the presence and cause of bleeding and test for any bacterial infection. During this exam, your doctor may also conduct a biopsy to check for cancer.

Understanding Diverticulitis -- Symptoms
The symptoms of diverticulitis are: Severe abdominal pain and cramping that is usually worse on the left side and increases when the area is touched Nausea Chills or fever Bloating Constipation, thin stools, or diarrhea Rectal bleeding (rare)
Read the Understanding Diverticulitis -- Symptoms article > >
For people who can't have an endoscopy, a barium swallow (or upper GI series of X-rays) can also allow your doctor to identify and locate the ulcer and determine its type and severity. The test requires you to drink a "barium milkshake," which has a liquid that will show up on an X-ray. You may be asked to eat only bland, easily digestible foods for two or three days before the test. After drinking the chalky liquid, you lie down on a tilting examining table, which evenly distributes the barium around your upper digestive tract and allows the X-ray to capture images at different angles.
What Are the Treatments for an Ulcer?
Medications are usually used to treat mild-to-moderate ulcers. If the cause is bacterial, antibiotics can help cure the ulcer. For recurrent, severe cases that do not respond to medication, surgery may be necessary.
Although alternative therapies have been shown to aid in the relief of symptoms, they should be used only as supplements to conventional treatment.
You should not treat an ulcer on your own without first seeing your doctor. Over-the-counter antacids and acid blockers may relieve some or all of the pain, but the relief is always short-lived. With a doctor's help, you can find relief from the ulcer pain, as well as a lifelong cure from the disease.
