Our Ministry
Our Biblical Principal
Philippians 3:13-14 – Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Our Mission Statment
To provide transitional housing for ex-offenders with programs that enable them to return to society as committed Christians and productive citizens.
What we do
We are a Faith Based Transitional Program for men. Our mission is to reintegrate a "better man" back in to society by helping them to develop the life changing habits and skills that will lead to success. Our mandatory program includes Bible Studies, Church, AA/NA meetings and Anger Management, Substance Abuse and Addiction classes. We also offer Case Management, Spiritual Counseling, Reintegration Skills, Employment Assistance, Medical and Mental Health referrals and help obtaining Driver's Licenses, Social Security and ID cards. Our facility is a Safe, Clean, Drug and Alcohol free Residential environment. Our goal is to develop a Christ filled, successful, productive member of our community and our society. Our Faith Based Transitional Program is a 16 bed facility with an on-site Residential Manager. We are an approved Re-Entry Transitional Program by the Department of Corrections and the Florida Parole Commission.
Our Impact
It is not the tax dollars that are saved when a man successfully reintegrates into society that matters most. It is the individual, his attitude, his successes and his joys in being free from the shackles that bound him to a life of crime and ultimate despair. Just as the weakest link in a chain determines it's strength, so goes our society. The Development Center rebuilds society's weakest links into strong, productive citizens.
Jim Russo began a life of crime in his teens, became a professional "con man", and eventually ended up in the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta. It was there that he began reading the Bible, God changed his life, and he reached out to others with his testimony. After his release in 1966, he became active in the Methodist Church and received his License to Preach in 1978 and his Elder's Orders in 1990. He founded "One Way Prison Ministry" (which later became Jim Russo Prison Ministry) in 1985, sharing the love of Jesus in prisons throughout Florida. ...

Article: Differential expression of Toll-like receptor genes in lymphoid tissues between Marek's disease virus-infected and noninfected chickens[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptors (TLR) are trans-membrane sensors recognizing invading microbes. Toll-like receptors play a central role in initiating immune responses against several pathogens. In this study, we investigated the response of TLR and downstream genes to Marek's disease virus (MDV) infection. Forty 1-d-old chicks were randomly divided into 2 groups, with 20 chicks infected with MDV and 20 chicks mock-infected. Four chickens were euthanized respectively from infected and age-matched noninfected groups at 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d postinfection (dpi). Bursas, spleens, and thymuses were removed. The differential expression of TLR genes, including TLR3, TLR5, TLR7, TLR15, and TLR21, and downstream genes of TLR7, including MyD88, TRAF3, TRAF6, IFNA, IFNB, and IL6, in lymphoid tissues of MDV-infected and noninfected chickens was determined by real-time PCR. The results showed that the change of TLR genes was different in 3 lymphoid tissues. Expression of TLR7 and MyD88 was upregulated at 14 dpi and downregulated at 28 dpi in MDV-infected compared with noninfected spleens. The TRAF6 and IFNB were upregulated, and TRAF3, IFNA, and IL6 genes showed increasing trends in MDV-infected compared with noninfected spleens at 14 dpi. The expression of TLR3 and TLR15 genes was downregulated in MDV-infected compared with noninfected spleens at 28 dpi. The results indicated that TLR7 and its downstream genes were a response to MDV infection at 14 dpi. However, the function of TLR was impaired when the infection entered the tumor transformation phase. In bursas, TLR3 and TLR15 genes were upregulated at 7 and 4 dpi, respectively. It indicated that TLR3 and TLR15 might be involved in response to MDV infection in bursa at early phases. However, no differential expression of TLR genes was observed between MDV-infected and noninfected thymuses, which indicated that the thymus had little response to MDV infection mediated by TLR.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Damaged eggshells result in losses of eggs. Numerous efforts have been carried out to improve eggshell quality, which may lead to increased eggshell thickness. The conventional way of enhancing eggshell strength with thicker eggshell on average may be replaced by a new strategy to improve eggshell uniformity without increasing eggshell thickness. To achieve this, it is necessary to investigate global variation of eggshell thickness. In this study, we used 100 fresh eggs from 52-wk-old layers of a commercial brown-egg variety. To determine the global variation of eggshell thickness, 42 points for each egg along both longitudinal and latitudinal axes were selected to measure thickness using an eggshell thickness gauge. The eggshell thickness from blunt to sharp end varied significantly (P < 0.05). The area surrounding the blunt end was the thinnest (0.341 ± 0.025 mm), whereas the area surrounding the sharp end was the thickest (0.367 ± 0.023 mm). It was found that the thickness of the sharp end was the closest to the average thickness of the whole eggshell and could be considered as a valid measurement of eggshell thickness. A new parameter, eggshell thickness uniformity, was defined as the reciprocal of the coefficient of variation (1/CV) of eggshell thickness from 42 points of each egg and can be used to evaluate the eggshell quality. Eggshell thickness uniformity was positively correlated with breaking strength (r = 0.341; P < 0.01), suggesting that the parameter may be used as a potential selection criterion in breeding program to improve eggshell quality without increasing eggshell thickness.
Article: Whole-genome scan for signatures of recent selection reveals loci associated with important traits in White Leghorn chickens[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Chicken is considered to be an excellent model for genetic studies of phenotypic and genomic evolution, with large effective population size, specialized commercial lines, and strong human-driven selection. High-density chicken SNP chips can help to achieve a better understanding of the selection mechanisms in artificially selected populations. We performed the genome-wide tests for the selection signature in 385 White Leghorn hens and mapped positively selected regions to the genome annotations. Ten QTL related to egg production, egg quality, growth, and disease resistance traits were selected for extended haplotype homozygosity tests to give a brief overview of recent selection signatures in chicken QTL. We also reported 185 candidate genes/CDSs showing top P-values and slower decay of haplotype homozygosities. Some of these genes seemed to have significant effects on important economical traits, and most of them have not been reported in chickens. The current study provides a genome-wide map of linkage disequilibrium extents and distributions and selection footprints in the chicken genome. A panel of genes, including PRL, NCKX1, NRF1, LHX2, and SFRP1 associated with egg production, metabolism traits, and response to illumination were identified. In addition, there were more genes identified that have not yet been reported in chickens, and our results provide new clues for further study.
Article: A genome-wide SNP scan reveals two loci associated with the chicken resistance to Marek's disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Marek's disease (MD) is a neoplastic disease in chickens, caused by the Marek's disease virus (MDV). To investigate host genetic resistance to MD, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 67 MDV-infected chickens based on a case and control design, including 57 susceptible chickens in the case group and 10 resistant chickens as controls. After searching 38 655 valid genomic markers, two SNPs were found to be associated with host resistance to MD. One SNP, rs14527240, reaching chromosome-wide significance level (P < 0.01) was located in the SPARC-related modular calcium-binding 1 (SMOC1) gene on GGA5. The other one, GGaluGA156129, reaching genome-wide significance (P < 0.05), was located in the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 3 (PTPN3) gene on GGA2. In addition, expression patterns of these two genes in spleens were detected by qPCR. The expression of SMOC1 was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05), whereas the expression of PTNP3 did not show significance when the case group was compared with the control group. Up-regulation of SMOC1 in susceptible spleens suggests its important roles in MD tumorigenesis. This is the first study to investigate MD-resistant loci, and it demonstrates the power of GWASs for mapping genes associated with MD resistance.
Article: Polymorphisms in Wnt signaling pathway genes are significantly associated with chicken carcass traits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The Wnt signaling pathway plays a crucial role during embryogenesis in vertebrates. In this study, 124 SNP in 31 Wnt signaling pathway genes were selected to genotype 764 individuals in an F2 resource population by reciprocally crossing Silkie fowls and Cornish broilers, and 102 SNP were polymorphic. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium among the SNP within each gene was calculated. Haplotypes were reconstructed from the SNP in strong linkage disequilibrium. The associations of SNP and haplotypes with carcass traits were analyzed respectively, and the SNP contributions to phenotypic variance were estimated. The present study showed that 58 SNP in 24 genes and 8 haplotype blocks within 7 genes were significantly (P < 0.05) associated with at least one carcass trait. Fourteen SNP (among the 58 SNP) explained >2% phenotypic variance, 12 of which had significantly (P < 0.01) additive or dominant effects. Furthermore, both rs15865526 (Wnt9A) and rs14066777 (MAPK9) as well as their corresponding haplotype blocks were significantly associated with shank circumference and wing weight, respectively. In addition, 5 muscle-weight-related SNP explained >7% phenotypic variance, which was much higher than those of others. It was found that the Wnt signaling pathway was strongly associated with chicken carcass traits, and 7 genes were particularly important, namely RHOA and CHP for breast muscle weight, Wnt3A for breast muscle weight percentage over carcass weight, RAC1 for thigh weight percentage and thigh muscle weight percentage over carcass weight, Wnt11 for thigh weight percentage over carcass weight, Wnt9A for shank length, and MAPK9 for shank circumference. It is evident that Wnt signaling plays a major role in regulating carcass characteristics important for production traits in chickens.
Article: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 gene is associated with egg-quality traits in dwarf layers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Some members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family play important roles in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism and egg quality traits. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (LRP2) gene belongs to the LDLR super family, and widely expresses in many tissues. This work identified and genotyped 1 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), T14347C, at 3'-UTR of the LRP2 using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and analyzed the effects of the SNP (T14347C) on egg-quality traits in 544 dwarf hens from 44 sire families. Frequencies of this SNP in the studied population did not agree with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.0001). Egg weight, albumen weight, albumen height, and albumen ratio of the TT genotype were significantly higher than those of the CC genotype (P < 0.05), whereas eggshell ratio of the TT genotype was significantly lower than that of the CC genotype (P < 0.05). The relative expression level of the LRP2 gene in the magnum was determined by real-time quantitative PCR. The gene expression of genotype CC individuals was significantly higher than that of TT and CT birds (P < 0.05). By combining both genetic effects and expression analyses results, we propose that the LRP2 gene is a good candidate gene, exhibiting a key role in albumen formation processes.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Wang, X.T., Zhao, C.J., Li, J.Y., Xu, G.Y., Lian, L.S., Wu, C.X. and Deng, X.M. 2010. Heme oxygenase-1 is important to the formation of eggshell biliverdin in chicken. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 38: 229–232.We postulated that the pathway of the biliverdin in eggshell was similar to that of the biliverdin in bile and attempted to search some proofs. First, it was found that the mean mRNA expression level of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the shell glands of the Dongxiang blue-shelled hens (n-6) was about 45.8 times more than that of the Dwarf brown-shelled hens (n-6) with the method of real time quantitative PCR. Second, the solution of hemin (40μ mol/ml), which was the inducer of HO-1 expression, was intraperitoneally injected into the Dongxiang blue-shelled hens (n=6), and the saline water (0.68%) was intraperitoneally injected into the control group (n=6), at 1 ml/kg, once a day, for two consecutive days. After injection with hemin solution, one hen in the treatment group laid a very blue egg, and the content of biliverdin in this shell increased to about 3.1 times as compared with before injection of hemin solution. At the same time, the expression level of HO-1 mRNA in the shell gland of this treated hen laid a very blue egg was about 3.0 times the control hens. These results supported our postulation.

Article: Expression profiles of genes within a subregion of chicken major histocompatibility complex B in spleen after Marek's disease virus infection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Major histocompatibility complex has previously been shown to influence the resistance of chicken to Marek's disease virus (MDV). However, little is known about expression of other genes in the MHC-I and II pathway after MDV infection. This study aimed at investigating 8 immune-related genes in the MHC core region that affects host responses to MDV. Spleens of infected and age-matched uninfected chickens were removed at 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d postinfection for gene expression detection using real-time PCR. Different expression patterns of MHC-I and II pathway genes were observed in the spleen. In the MHC-I pathway, the expression of transporter of antigen protein 1 (TAP1), transporter of antigen protein 2 (TAP2), and transporter of antigen protein-binding protein (TAPBP) genes was significantly increased in the spleen of MDV-infected than that of uninfected chickens. It indicated that host antivirus responses were generated to enhance antigen presentation. However, MHC-II pathway genes showed contrary trends. Classical MHC-II β chain major gene (BLB2) and nonclassical class II genes [DM α chain gene (DMA), DM β chain gene-1 (DMB1), and DM β chain gene-2 (DMB2)] had consistent lower transcripts in spleens of MDV-infected than that of uninfected chickens, which reflected that MDV interfered with multiple components of the MHC-II pathway. Overall, expression of most genes in the MHC core region was altered; moreover, the genes in endogenous and exogenous antigen presentation pathways had different expression patterns in the spleen after MDV infection.
Article: Effect of myofiber characteristics and thickness of perimysium and endomysium on meat tenderness of chickens[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of myofiber characteristics and the thickness of 2 major muscle membranes, perimysium and endomysium, in determining the breast meat tenderness of chickens. Birds from 2 breeds (White Leghorn and a line of broiler) were chosen. Chicks were sexed and wing-banded at hatch and were grown in separate cages in a single house. Sixty broilers and 60 White Leghorns were harvested at 6 wk of age, respectively, whereas another 60 White Leghorns were slaughtered at 18 wk of age. An equal number of males and females was maintained for each group. Body weight, breast muscle weight, pH, drip loss, cooking loss, Warner-Bratzler shear force value (SFV), total energy of shear force, fiber diameter, sarcomere length, myofiber density, and the thickness of endomysium and perimysium of the breast were determined for each bird. At 6 wk of age, histological examination indicated that the size of myofiber and thickness of endomysium and perimysium of broilers were larger than that those of White Leghorns (P < 0.01), whereas the SFV, drip loss, and cooking loss of broilers were smaller (P < 0.01). A comparison between the White Leghorns at 18 wk and the broilers at 6 wk, which were at similar BW but different ages, showed that the breast muscle weight of broilers was larger (P < 0.01) than that of White Leghorns. For breast muscle, the endomysium of broilers at 6 wk was thicker than that of White Leghorns at 18 wk (P < 0.01), whereas the perimysium was thinner (P < 0.01). The SFV, drip loss, and the cooking loss of broilers were smaller than those of White Leghorns at similar BW (P < 0.01). Meat tenderness was negatively correlated with myofiber density (-0.27) and the thickness of endomysium (-0.29) and positively correlated with the thickness of perimysium (0.20). It is suggested that muscle membrane should be considered in evaluating meat tenderness of the chicken.
Article: Developmental phenotypic-genotypic associations of tyrosinase and melanocortin 1 receptor genes with changing profiles in chicken plumage pigmentation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The tyrosinase (TYR) and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genes have been accepted as major genes involved in the plumage pigmentation of chickens. The co-segregation of plumage coloration and sequence polymorphism in TYR and MC1R genes were investigated using an intercross between black and white plumage color types of the Dongxiang blue-shelled chicken. Profiles of plumage color changing and genes expression levels of TYR and MC1R were observed from hatch to 112 d of age using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR. Intercrossed offspring were classified by phenotypes of plumage colors. The phenotypes of black and amber chicks with genotypes of E_C_ exhibited a black feather pattern, whereas white, gray, and buff chicks with genotypes of E_cc and eecc belonged to the white feather pattern. Although TYR in cooperation with MC1R determined the coloration feather patterns, the different phenotypes did not correspond completely with the genotypes. During the period studied, plumage phenotype changed dramatically, and the buff and gray down were gradually replaced by whiteness feathers. Real-time reverse transcription-PCR studies showed that 1) expression levels of TYR declined dramatically with age, and expression at hatch was highest (P < 0.01) during the ages studied; 2) expression level of MC1R was higher at 28 d than at younger and older ages; and 3) expression of TYR in chickens carrying E/E and E/e alleles on MC1R loci were higher than those carrying e/e alleles from hatch to 28 d.
Article: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8 gene association with egg traits in dwarf chickens[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8 (LRP8), a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene family with a role in clusterin processing, was investigated as a candidate gene for egg quality-related traits. One SNP from C to T at position 1623 of the open reading frame of LRP8 was identified and genotyped by a high-throughput genotyping method, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in 747 egg-type dwarf layers from 44 sire families. There were no significant differences among genotypes for any interior egg traits measured, except for yolk color, in which color was deeper for the TT genotype than CC or CT (P < 0.05). For shell traits, strength and thickness were greater for TT than CC (P < 0.05), with CT intermediate and not different from either. Shape index was lower for CT than either TT or CC, which did not differ, whereas for shell color, CT was intermediate to the homozygotes, which differed (CC > TT). The present results indicated that LRP8, as a new member of eggshell matrix protein, may be a candidate gene associated with eggshell traits.
Article: Comparison of the total amount of eggshell pigments in Dongxiang brown-shelled eggs and Dongxiang blue-shelled eggs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Based on the knowledge of the heme bio-synthetic and metabolic pathway and the structures of biliverdin and protoporphyrin, experiments were carried out to compare the difference between the total quality of eggshell pigments in blue-shelled eggs and brown-shelled eggs from the same population (Dongxiang, China) and to analyze the correlation between the quantity of protoporphyrin and biliverdin in the 2 kinds of eggshells. It was found that there was no significant difference between the total quantity of eggshell pigments in Dongxiang blue-shelled eggs and Dongxiang brown-shelled eggs (P = 0.9006), and a highly significant positive correlation between the quantity of protoporphyrin and biliverdin in blue eggshells (P < 0.01) and a significant positive correlation between the quantity of protoporphyrin and biliverdin in brown eggshells (P < 0.05). These results suggested that eggshell protoporphyrin and eggshell biliverdin probably derived from common precursor material.
Article: Laying performance and egg quality of blue-shelled layers as affected by different housing systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Blue-shelled eggs are gaining popularity as the consumption demand diversifies in some countries. This study was carried out to investigate the laying performance and egg quality of the blue-shelled egg layers as well as the effects of different housing systems on egg production and quality traits. One thousand pullets from Dongxiang blue-shelled layers were divided into 2 even groups and kept in different housing systems (outdoor vs. cage). Daily laying performance was recorded from 20 to 60 wk of age. External and internal egg quality traits were examined at 26, 34, 42, and 50 wk. Yolk cholesterol concentration and whole egg cholesterol content were measured at 40 wk of age. Average laying rate from 20 to 60 wk for the cage (54.7%) was significantly higher than that of outdoor layers (39.3%). Among all of the egg quality traits, only eggshell color was affected by housing system. Interaction between housing system and layer age was found in egg weight, eggshell color, eggshell ratio, yolk color, and yolk weight. Meanwhile, cholesterol concentration in yolk was 8.64 +/- 0.40 mg/g in the outdoor eggs, which was significantly lower than that of eggs from the cage birds (10.32 +/- 0.48 mg/g; P < 0.05). Whole egg cholesterol content in the outdoor eggs (125.23 +/- 6.32 mg/egg) was also significantly lower than that of eggs from the caged layers (158.01 +/- 8.62 mg/egg). The results demonstrated that blue-shelled layers have lower productivity in the outdoor system than in the cage system. Blue-shelled layers have lower egg weight, larger yolk proportion, and lower cholesterol content compared with commercial layers. In a proper marketing system, lower productivity could be balanced by a higher price for the better quality of blue-shelled eggs.
Article: Lower Antibody Response in Chickens Homozygous for the Mx Resistant Allele to Avian Influenza[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The chicken Mx gene has been regarded as a candidate gene for resistance to avian influenza virus (AIV). In this study, three groups of chickens with homozygotes (AA, GG) and heterozygotes (AG) of the resistant (A) and susceptible alleles (G) to AIV of the Mx gene were constructed from a line of dwarf egg-type chickens. These chickens were not examined for their resistant activities to AIV because the differential resistance had only been detected in vitro. The birds of the three groups were vaccinated with inactivated H5N2 AIV vaccine and the level of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody to AIV was detected. The association between disease resistant activity to AIV and antibody response to AIV vaccination in the three groups was analyzed. The chickens with homozygous resistant allele A showed the lowest antibody levels, whereas the heterozygous chickens (AG) presented the highest antibody level after the boosting vaccination, which indicates that the efficiency of artificial selection on the resistant allele of Mx gene will be compromised since the homozygotes of the allele presented the weakest antibody response to the corresponding vaccine.
Article: Cloning of Chicken Microsomal Glutathione S-transferase 1 Gene (MGST1) and Identification of Its Different Splice Variants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Mammal microsomal glutathione transferase 1 (MGST1) can conjugate many toxic or carcinogenic substances and depress oxidative stress. In this study, Chicken MGST1 and its variants were cloned for the first time and were composed of 956 or 944 nucleotides. The 12 nt deletion in the exon 2 did not alter the GT-AG rule and the ORFs for the two MGST1 variants were the same, which both comprised 465 nucletides and encoded a peptide with 155 amino acids. It was found that the two different splice variants identified using RT-PCR expressed in all three organs investigated of Dwarf Brown Chicken, namely liver, spleen and shell gland. Moreover, the expression level of MGST1 mRNA in the liver of Dwarf Brown chickens was the highest (p
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The Mx protein, which confers resistance to orthomyxovirus, has been detected in several organisms, and one nonsynonymous substitution (S631N) of the chicken Mx protein has been shown to affect resistant activities to the avian influenza virus in vitro. In the current study, the genomic sequence and polymorphism of the chicken Mx gene are reported. The full length of the chicken Mx gene spans about 21 kb, with 13 exons on chromosome 1 of the chicken genome. A total of 237 single nucleotide polymorphisms were found in the chicken Mx gene by comparison among 4 directly sequenced Mx genomic DNA sequences, and the reference sequence was inferred from the chicken genome project. The genomic diversity of the chicken Mx gene showed large variation in different regions, with the highest diversity in the 5′ untranslated region and the lowest in the 3′ untranslated region. The genomic structure and variation of sequences gathered here will allow an extensive analysis of the gene function with the aim of improving the antiviral resistance activities of chickens.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Eggshell colour is an important economic trait for egg-type chickens. Three hundred and thirty eggs of 11 different egg-type chicken varieties producing white, tinted, blue and brown eggs were used in the present study. Eight points on each egg were measured using Minolta Chromameter CR-300. The values of lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*) and chroma (C*) of eggshells were obtained as objective and quantitative measurements of eggshell colour. The results showed that eggshell colour in different egg-type chicken varieties, different eggs within varieties and different points on the same egg varied. The variation ranges of L* values were 92.9∼97.9, 58.1∼90.2, 68.7∼89.9 and 48.1∼74.4, and the means of L* values were 95.2, 82.3, 84.0 and 63.0 for white, tinted, blue and brown eggs, respectively. The variation range of a* values of white, tinted, blue and brown eggs were -0.50∼0.70, 2.00∼14.9, -10.10∼9.70 and 10.2∼32.5 respectively. The values of L*, a*, b* and C* among different eggshell colour types were significantly different (P<0.05). High and significant correlations among the eight measurements on each egg were found (R>0.98). Result of principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that one single point at the blunt end of egg made the greatest contribution to the overall pigmentation of eggs and could be employed as a simplified measurement, with the accuracy as high as 0.993. At this point, the range of a* value varied from -0.50 to 0.40, 2.20 to 18.7, -8.00 to -0.50 and 10.2 to 24.5 for white, tinted, blue and brown eggs, respectively, therefore the a* value at this single point could be used to classify the three types of egg-shell colour (white, blue, tinted/brown). However, the tinted and brown eggs cannot be distinguished accurately with a* value.
Article: Molecular cloning and expression of the duplicated thyroid hormone responsive Spot 14 (THRSP) genes in ducks[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Thyroid hormone responsive Spot 14 (THRSP) is suggested as a transcription factor involved in the regulation of adipogenic enzymes by 3 thyroid response elements in the promoter region. In the chicken genome, THRSP gene was identified to duplicate into 2 paralogs, THRSPalpha and THRSPbeta. In the current study, cDNA sequences of the duplicated duck THRSP genes were cloned by real-time PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. Duck THRSPalpha and THRSPbeta were predicted to encode peptides with 133 amino acids, which had 74 and 68% sequence identity at cDNA level, 78 and 74% identity at amino acid level to the chicken counterparts, respectively. A high percentage (73.1%) of G and C nucleotides were found in the 3' untranslated region of duck THRSPbeta cDNA. Although a low similarity of peptide composition was shared between ducks and mammals, and a moderate similarity was shared between ducks and chickens, many predicted properties of THRSP, including the pI, subcellular localization and functional domains seemed to be highly conserved. The present study demonstrated that the duck THRSP gene duplicates into the 2 paralogs as in chickens. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the duplication for THRSP paralogs appeared to have taken place preceding the chicken-duck split, and the diverging rate between THRSP paralogs seemed faster in the chicken genome than that in the duck genome. Expression analysis by real-time quantitative PCR showed that THRSP paralogs in ducks were more actively transcribed in fat tissues (i.e., s.c. fat and abdominal fat) than in liver, and the mRNA concentrations of THRSPbeta were higher than that of THRSPalpha in liver and s.c. fat.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Biliverdin is an important pigment in the eggshell of chickens and other avian species. Determination of the biosynthesis site for biliverdin is essential for understanding the biochemical process and genetic basis of eggshell pigmentation. Either blood or the shell gland could be the biosynthesis site of eggshell biliverdin. A segregation population with full-sib sisters genotyped Oo and oo, which laid blue-shelled eggs and light brown eggs, respectively, was constructed in a native Chinese chicken breed. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry and HPLC were used to determine the biliverdin concentration in eggshells, blood, bile, excreta, and shell gland of both groups of chickens. Biliverdin content was significantly different between egg shells of blue-shelled and brown-shelled chickens (P < 0.01). Blood and bile were tested 3 to 4 h before oviposition, and excreta was tested randomly. Results showed no significant difference in biliverdin concentration in blood, bile, and excreta between the 2 groups. In the shell gland, the biliverdin contents for the blue-shelled and brown-shelled chickens were 8.25 +/- 2.55 and 1.29 +/- 0.12 nmol/g, respectively, which showed a significant difference (P < 0.01). Our results demonstrated that blood is not the biosynthesis site of the shell biliverdin. Biliverdin is most likely synthesized in the shell gland and then deposited onto the eggshell of chickens.

JRR Tolkien snubbed by 1961 Nobel juryBreaking News
Newly-released documents have revealed that novelist JRR Tolkien was passed over for the Nobel literature prize in 1961, after his storytelling in the Lord of the Rings trilogy was described as second rate. Declassified after 50 years, the papers show that Tolkien was nominated for the award by fellow author CS Lewis but that the Nobel prize jury had said of his work: "The result has not in any way measured up to storytelling of the highest quality". The documents also reveal that British writer Graham Greene – who never won the Nobel prize – was the jury's runner-up, followed by Karen Blixen, the Danish writer of Out of Africa. Other prominent authors put forward for the Nobel prize in 1961 were EM Forster and Lawrence Durrell.

Letter From Kabul: Solving Afghanistan's Problems
What the United States Must Overcome in Afghanistan
Part I: Corruption
In his inauguration speech, Afghan President Hamid Karzai stressed the importance of the country's fight against corruption and spoke of his commitment to ending "the culture of impunity and violations of law." Afghans, however, reacted warily: they are waiting to see action, which has been in short supply in Afghanistan. Corruption has grown around Karzai like a fungus, touching almost every ministry and office. As Karzai begins his new term, this pervasive culture of graft is blamed for driving a wedge between Afghans and their government -- even driving some toward the Taliban.
Western officials have demanded that the Afghan government take decisive action against corruption, but such pressure may be counterproductive. Karzai has grown increasingly resentful of Western criticism, both because such treatment comes across as disrespectful in Pashtun culture and because Karzai believes that standing up to the United States will make him more popular with Afghans. Pressuring Karzai too often simply pushes him into a defensive crouch.
In a television interview in early November, a week after his former challenger Abdullah Abdullah dropped out of the presidential race, effectively canceling the runoff, Karzai appeared vague about corruption inside his government and seemed to view it as a phenomenon inflicted from the outside. He blamed overseas interests for waste, saying that much of the country's corruption stems from large contracts initiated by foreign governments and companies. "For that sort of corruption, it's the international community that also shares responsibility with us," he said.
For Afghans, corruption falls into

This eager cocksucker just can't get enough dick! As soon as he gets naked with his buddy on the couch, he is on his hands and knees, letting himself get throat fucked and gagging on his friend's impressive member. Once the dick is slippery and rock hard, the cocksucker bends over, reaching down between his legs to masturbate while his buddy slides his prick into his ass. The cocksucker squeals as he gets roughly sodomised, burying his face in the couch to muffle the sound of his screaming. The guy who's doing the fucking ends up shooting his load all over the glass table, and then the cum hungry cocksucker licks up the entire load.

BBC Review
These 17 discs comprise essential foundations for any record collection.
Daniel Ross 2012
When building a library, there are certain books and bodies of work that are indispensable. These established classics might not be the first thing you grab for an eager thumb-through, but without them you'd be missing the building blocks. Naturally, the same can be said when you're building a music library as well, and this exhaustive compendium of Schubert lieder is the equivalent of, say, the complete works of Arthur Conan Doyle.
Loosely, the idea with this enthralling set is to compile a gorgeous selection of Schubert's poetic songs across 17 discs. The recordings date, almost unbelievably, from 1898 and take us right up to the present, so there's an incredible sense of broadness and of historical perspective that makes this something of a museum item. Progression can be measured not only from crackling shellac recordings to pristine digital audio, but also from crisp, unfussy performances to nuanced, considered takes on myriad moods.
A perfect comparison piece would be Harry Plunket Greene's brisk, workmanlike but thoroughly charming interpretation of Der Leiermann from Winterreise from 1934, alongside Thomas Hampson's 2012 version of the same song. Hampson's is a full 40 seconds longer and far more varied in tone, but Greene's sticks to the idea that these songs could be performed by anyone, simple and spooky (as is befitting of the source poem) throughout. There are dozens more little games to be had with this set that make its 17 discs supremely explorable, and the results can sometimes be very surprising.
But back to Arthur Conan Doyle. What Sherlock Holmes' creator managed to do with his mannered prose was elucidate on huge events and worldly themes using the most simple and nugget-like expression: short stories. Schubert, with his legion of poetic material from his beloved Goethe and others, does exactly the same thing. There's a song here for almost any occasion, mood, scene and emotion, with stunning range crammed into a mere few minutes per piece.
Perhaps the only improvement might have been some more accessible translations (they're stuffed onto a CD-ROM), but with this box on the shelf of your library your musical foundations will be infinitely stronger.

Special Order
In the deceiving warmth of earliest October, civil war has come to Green Town, Illinois, an age-old conflict pitting the young against the elderly for control of the clock that ticks their lives ever forward. The graying forces of school board despot Mr. Calvin C. Quartermain have declared total war on thirteen-year-old Douglas Spaulding and his downy-cheeked cohorts. The boys, in turn, plan and execute daring campaigns, matching old Quartermain's experience and cunning with their youthful enthusiasm and devil-may-care determination to hold on forever to childhood's summer. Yet time must ultimately be the victor, as life waits in ambush to assail young Spaulding with its powerful mysteries the irresistible ascent of manhood, the sweet surrender of a first kiss . . .
About the Author
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

Congressional Budget Cuts Threaten NGA Satellite Imagery Program
[Satellite News 04-03-12] Proposed military budget cuts, the degree of which are to be outlined in an upcoming report from the United States government's defense and intelligence agencies, may threaten the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) $7.3 billion contract with GeoEye and DigitalGlobe to provide high-resolution images over 10 years, according to analysts.
Benchmark Defense and Homeland Security Research Analyst Josephine Millward said that the proposed reduction for next fiscal year could fall between 30 percent and 50 percent. "The [upcoming] budget report is supposed to convey the degree to which the government needs commercial satellite images and should offer some guidance on future budgets cuts," Millward said in a report. "How this will come out is very hard to predict, but it would be very hard to see the NGA program coming out untouched.
The NGA awarded satellite imagery providers DigitalGlobe and GeoEye with separate 10-year, $3.5 billion contracts under the NGA's EnhancedView procurement program in August 2010. DigitalGlobe's contract began the following month upon expiration of its NextView agreement with the agency. To support requirements under the agreement, DigitalGlobe said it immediately would begin procurement and construction of its next satellite, WorldView-3, and will launch the satellite by the end of 2014.
GeoEye's NGA EnhancedView program award provided for the engineering, construction and launch of the GeoEye-2 satellite and the design and procurement of associated ground station equipment. NGA said it would contribute up to 40 percent of the overall construction costs of the GeoEye-2 program, subject to certain contract limitations.
GeoEye also will provide satellite imagery deliveries under a one-year service level agreement with the NGA that includes a nine-year option as well as design and procurement of additional infrastructure to support government operations. NGA will have options under the agreement to buy value-added products and other services. The GeoEye-2 satellite will deliver imagery under the NGA agreement in early 2013.
In October 2011, DigitalGlobe received a one-year, $37.9 million value-added services contract from the NGA under its new Enhanced GEOINT Delivery (EGD) program. The contract allowed DigitalGlobe to provide value-added support to NGA to meet the agency's advanced imagery requirements and provide final product deliverables.
"This award advances the production capabilities of our Rapid Delivery of Online Geospatial Intelligence (RDOG) — a capability first pioneered jointly by DigitalGlobe and NGA in 2009. Initial production and deliveries under the agreement are expected to accelerate beginning in the fourth quarter 2011, with revenue to be recognized in accordance with deliveries," DigitalGlobe said in a company statement issued with the contract extension.
But now, almost two years after the initial deals were signed, those programs have been targeted for budget cuts as the federal government looks to cut spending and lower the deficit, according to NGA Spokeswoman Karen Finn.
"We expect the cuts to be significant," Finn said in a statement. "The government always looks at the total value of each contract to the contribution to our mission to determine how to allocate the reduction."
GeoEye and DigitalGlobe said they would continue to expand their client base to include foreign governments, as well as commercial clients from industries such as energy, agriculture and real estate. The NGA EnhancedView program, however, still represents a majority of the firms' business.
"Certainly [GeoEye and DigitalGlobe] have other opportunities, and if their programs were to be reduced by the U.S. government it would free up capacity to do more international and commercial business," said Millward.

ZAO, Japan — Japan deployed military helicopters, high-pressure water cannons and fire trucks in an increasingly desperate attempt to cool an overheated nuclear complex as U.S. officials warned the situation was deteriorating.
While the choppers flew combat-style missions to dump batch after batch of seawater onto a stricken reactor, plant operators said they were close to finishing a new power line that could restore cooling systems and ease the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex on the country's northeast coast.
SANTA FE — The Legislature is sending Republican Gov. Susana Martinez a $5.4 billion state budget that will cut government spending by 2.7 percent next year.
The measure cleared its final legislative hurdle late Wednesday when the House voted 36-32 to accept a Senate-passed version of the budget.
The budget will cut spending on education and general government programs by about $152 million in the fiscal year that starts in July.
Martinez has until early April to decide whether to sign or veto the bill or reject specific spending items.
Difficulties encountered in wiring a temporary traffic signal at the intersection of Diamond and Trinity compounded by sinkhole repairs on the Main Hill Road were the culprits behind long traffic delays plaguing drivers in Los Alamos early Wednesday afternoon.
Around noontime, cars attempting to go west were lined up from Diamond Drive to Knecht Street on Trinity and also along Central Avenue on the westbound side to Knecht Street.

TOBRUK, Libya (AP) — Libyan rebels shot down at least two bomber planes that attacked the airport in their main stronghold on Thursday, according to residents who witnessed the rare success in the struggle against Moammar Gadhafi's superior air power.
The rebels used three of their own seized planes and some helicopters to attack government troops fighting to advance on the city of Benghazi, said Mustafa Gheriani, a spokesman in the rebel base.

MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) — U.S. unmanned aircraft fired four missiles into a building where suspected militants were meeting Thursday, killing 38 of them in an unusually deadly strike close to the Afghan border, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The strikes took place in the Datta Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal region — the main sanctuary for al-Qaida and Taliban fighters along the Afghan border, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security Department demoted a senior career employee who confidentially complained to the inspector general that political appointees were improperly interfering with requests for federal records by journalists and watchdog groups.

AUSTIN - Texas' unemployment rate rose slightly to 5.1 percent in April even though the state added another 4,400 jobs, the Texas Workforce Commission said Friday.
Texas employers have added jobs for 32 of the past 33 months, for a total of 584,400 jobs since July 2003. In April 2005, the unemployment rate was 5.3 percent.
"While we still have a lot to do, the economic picture continues to improve across the state as more and more workers find employment," commissioner Ronny Congleton said.
An estimated 578,700 Texans remained actively looking for work in April, an increase of 10,000 from March and a drop of 10,500 from a year ago.
Nearly all Texas metropolitan areas saw a decline in unemployment between April 2005 and last month.
"Business activity remains strong, as Texas employers are experiencing growth in virtually every major industry and every area of the state," commissioner Ron Lehman said.
The figures were adjusted for seasonal trends in hiring and firing, which most economists believe gives a better picture of the job market. The national unemployment rate is 4.7 percent.
Financial activities employment rose by 3,700 jobs in April, the most of any sector. Construction added 2,600 jobs, and manufacturing and natural resources and mining each added 1,200.
Education and health services, leisure and hospitality and government saw small increases.
The information sector lost 3,000 jobs, while professional and business services lost 1,700.
Trade, transportation and utilities and other services also saw modest declines.

|European Commission > ... > Research topics > Towards the future fusion power plant
|Contact | Search
An interdisciplinary and international programme, fusion research's progress depends on leading-edge research in many different areas and requires a sustained long-term effort on a large scale. The success to date shows that it is possible to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power with one further major experiment.
Until now, there have been three generations of experimental fusion devices. Two further generations of devices are currently needed on the road to commercial power generation by fusion.
This experiment – under construction in Cadarache, southern France – will be the foundation stone of a future fusion power station. ITER is a multinational collaboration between the EU (represented by EURATOM), Japan, the People's Republic of China, India, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the USA.
Its design has passed through a number of phases, with the original conceptual design being developed during 1988–90 followed by the engineering design activities (1992–98). The design was completed in July 2001 and reviewed in June 2008 to take account of the R&D results and technological developments in the intervening period.
The ITER design was underpinned by a large research programme that has established its practical feasibility and involved construction of full-scale prototypes for its major components. This has provided the confidence that ITER can be built and operate as planned.
In November 2006 the official signing ceremony of the ITER Joint Implementation Agreement took place in Paris, giving birth to the ITER International Organisation. The construction of ITER began in 2008.
ITER is designed to:
DEMO – the demonstration reactor
Integrating the optimised performance from ITER, this next machine will be a demonstration fusion power plant.
DEMO will be designed to:

After releasing the fifth schoolie bass of this the trip, I decided that was enough for me.
When I was younger I would have continued fishing and catching to my heart's delight. I vividly remember one trip 15 years ago when I caught 85 schoolie stripers in just 3-4 hours of fishing.
That's what you do when you're a kid. You catch as many as you can. Then you try to catch the biggest that you can. Finally you get to the point where I feel I am at now, which is to catch a few, and then leave the rest alone.
Plenty Of Topwater Action And Bass Feeding On The Surface
I feel the warm sun this week really sparked the striped bass fishing on Cape Cod. Last week you couldn't find a fish anywhere, but now I am seeing plenty.
I am also seeing lots of bait. If you've read the full version of this fishing report published yesterday, you would have seen this video of dozens of mummichogs just hanging out in a tidal pool.
I came across all this bait while walking through a marsh earlier in the week. Small bait like mummichogs are a favorite prey item of the schoolie bass that have invaded Cape Cod over the past several days.
I couldn't tell for sure what the stripers in front of me were feeding on during this particular outing, but if I had to guess it would be mummichogs. Whatever they were eating, the stripers were pursuing it with vigor.
The bass were consistently splashing around on the surface and it was by far the best action I've encountered so far this season.
