I was wondering what is the easiest way to get XY geocaching coordinates (by a particular Area of Interest (AOI)) data in a spread sheet format that I could covert to a GIS layer? On the Geocaching.com website you can search by different AOI, but I do not see a way to mass export XY coordinates.
If you have FME Desktop, it's possible to extract some informations with API and convert the information to SHAPEFILE or another GIS file.
Or if you copy some geocaching data with xy in Excel, you can generate a shapefile with ArcGis.

An Air Force Iroquois helicopter will resume the search this
morning for an Auckland man's missing biplane.
Daroish Kraidy's home-built aerobatic plane disappeared from
radar detection shortly after it took off from Ardmore
airfield about 11.25am on Tuesday.
A police launch, divers, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft
have been involved in the search, but the 53-year-old and his
plane remain missing.
Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) mission
co-ordinator Neville Blakemore said an RNZAF Iroquois
helicopter would search the northern end of the Coromandel
Peninsula today.
The area had not yet been covered by search teams.
The Iroquois yesterday searched the eastern side of the
It was expected to be airborne around 9.30am today.
"At the same time, we will be doing a comprehensive review of
the search and all the information received by the public to
assess what our next steps should be," Mr Blakemore said.
"If anyone has any further information, or remembers seeing
the plane on Tuesday, please contact RCCNZ or the police."
Mr Blakemore said the response from the public to RCCNZ's
appeal for information relating to the search had been
Yesterday, five search areas were covered by search teams,
including Wainuiototo Bay, a bush area to south of Miranda,
the Karangahake Gorge between Paeroa and Waihi, and the
northern end of the Firth of Thames.
The missing plane was heading in a northeasterly direction
when it disappeared from radar.
No distress beacon was activated, but RCCNZ launched a search
after a friend of the pilot reported concern for his safety.
Reported sightings by members of the public indicate the
aircraft was likely to have continued flying in a
northeasterly direction direction.

In the series premiere, Dr. Temperance Brennan (or "Bones" as Booth calls her), a forensic anthropologist, is asked by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth to identify a set of bones that were deliberately hidden in a lake. However, after identifying the bones, imprisoning the murderer will be politically tricky. Booth and Brennan must find further evidence to link the victim to the murderer, and Booth will have to weigh his duties against his ego when Brennan challenges him.moreless

Dr. Brennan's second sentence to Booth is: "Don't call me 'Bones'" (which becomes a running theme for the beginning of the series).
Another catch phrase of hers is introduced in this episode: "I don't know what that means." She usually says this when someone makes a popular culture allusion or remark.
When Zack is takes photographs of the corpse, the video footage clearly mirrors, as can be seen by the positions and letters on the patches on his jacket. Additionally, Zack is holds the camera lens with his right hand and shoots the photos with his left. Cameras are designed the opposite way.
In this episode and in many of the episodes after this, when Booth and Brennan are driving, Booth does not wear his seatbelt - only Brennan does.
Goof: The opening shot of Brennan's plane getting in could not possibly have been Dulles International Airport, as was claimed. Dulles is located in Virginia, 26 miles west of Washington, D.C., and there is no view of the Capitol building from there. This is actually a shot of Reagan Washington Airport.
Goof: In the first post-credit scene, just as the music stops, Temperance is kneeling and holding a camera. The patch on her shoulder is reversed, showing the footage was flopped (mirrored).
Goof: When Brennan finally leaves the Jeffersonian to get back home, we see three shots of her: one crossing the Jeffersonian Park and two others in Washington streets. But while she is holding two bags in the first shot, one suddenly disappears and is not in the other two shots.
Goof: Thompson appears to be pouring gas all over the fish room. Gas fumes are extremely flammable. When Brennan shoots, the flash from the gun would have sparked a fireball given as much gas as the guy was splashing around.
Goof: Right before Brennan shoots Thompson, he pulls a lighter out of his left pants pocket with his left hand and lights it. But when they show the bullet hit his leg, his hand is near his pocket like he is reaching for the lighter. No lighter can be seen as he falls to the floor.
Goof: When Oliver does not want to hold pressure on Thompson's wound, Booth says "That guy bleeds to death, Bones will go on trial for attempted murder." If he bled to death, the charges would be murder or manslaughter, not "attempted" murder.
Goof: The long shot of the funeral appears to be a composite. It shows the rear of the Lincoln Memorial in the distance, with a row of trees leading up to the cemetery. But the Potomic River is immediately behind the Lincoln Memorial.
Goof: At the funeral, Brennan walks over to the coffin and lays a rose on the right hand end of the coffin, on top of a few other roses. Later in the same scene, Cleo's parents lay roses down in the same spot, but there are no other roses there yet.
Brennan: (seeing Angela flashing her chest to an airport worker who's ignoring her) Tell me you tried "excuse me" first.
Angela: Ah Sweetie. Yes I did. Welcome home. Are you exhausted? Was Guatemala awful? Was it horribly backward?
Brennan: And yet I was never reduced to flashing my boobs for information.
Angela: Flashing for any fun reasons?
DHS Officer: You were illegally transporting human remains ma'am. And you assaulted a Homeland Security agent.
Brennan: Look I'm sorry if I embarrassed you in front of your friends but next time you should identify yourself before attacking me.
DHS Officer: Most people in this situation, what they do, is sweat.
Brennan: Guatemala. Genocide. How are you scary after that?
DHS Officer: Fine. She's all yours.
Booth: (to Brennan) Okay let's grab your skull, and let's vamoose.
Brennan: What? That's it? She's all yours? Why did you stop me?
Booth: What does it matter? You're free to go. Let's just grab your bags.
Brennan: You set me up. (to the DHS Officer) You got a "hold for questioning request" from the FBI, didn't you?
DHS Officer: (smiles at Brennan) I love this [Brennan's] book.
Brennan: That's the best you can do?
Booth: (innocently) What?
Brennan: Getting homeland security to snatch me so you can stage a fake rescue.
Booth: At least I picked you up at the airport.
Booth: A decomposed corpse was found this morning at Arlington National Cemetery ...
Brennan: Arlington National Cemetery is full of decomposed corpses. It's a cemetery.
Booth: Yeah, but this one is your type of corpse. It wasn't in a casket.
Booth: What can you tell me?
Brennan: Not much. She was a young woman, probably between 18 and 22. Approximately five foot three, race unknown, delicate features.
Booth: That's all?
Brennan: Tennis player.
Booth: How do you get a pretty tennis player out of that yuck?
Brennan: Those people deserved the truth.
Booth: Their daughter was murdered; they deserved the kindness of a lie.
Booth: You're great at what you do, but you don't solve murders ... guys like we do.
Cullen: So, you guaranteed a squint a field role in an active murder investigation?
Booth: Yes sir.
Cullen: The one that wrote the book?
Booth: Yes sir.
Cullen: I thought you said she wouldn't work with you anymore?
Booth: Well, the last case we worked she provided a description of the murder weapon and the murderer, but I didn't give her much credence.
Cullen: Why not?
Booth: Because she did it by looking at the victim's autopsy x-rays.
Cullen: Well, I wouldn't have given it much credence, either.
Booth: Turns out she was right on both. Plus the pond victim, (he hands the file to Cullen) Brennan gives me the victim's age, sex, and favorite sport.
Cullen: Huh, which is?
Booth: Tennis.
Cullen: She's good.
Booth: No, she's amazing. If the only way I can get her back on my side is to bring her out in the field, I'm willing.
Cullen: Fine. She's on you. Take a squint out in the field, she's your responsibility.
Booth: Yes sir.
Angela: Lenny Kravitz or Vanessa Williams?
Brennan: I don't know what that means.
Booth: You know, if it weren't for you, those people would have never known what happened to their daughter. It's gotta be worse than the truth.
Brennan: I know exactly how the Ellers felt about Cleo. My parents disappeared when I was 15 and nobody knows what happened to them.
Booth: Being a sniper, I took a lot of lives. What I'd like to do before I'm done is to try and catch at least that many murderers.
Brennan: Please. You don't think there's some kind of cosmic balance sheet. (Booth looks hurt) I'd like to help you with that.
Booth: You know, you being a good shot, doing martial arts, it's all your way of dealing. I mean, who knows better than you how fragile life can be.
Brennan: Maybe an Army Ranger sniper who became an FBI homicide investigator.
Angela: You must know about her family. Both parents vanished when she was fifteen? Probably counts as the real world.
Booth: Yeah. I know the story. I've read the file. The cops never found out anything.
Angela: Yeah. Brennan figures that if maybe somebody like her had been there.
Booth: Well, for somebody who hates psychology she sure has a lot of it.
Booth: You okay?
Brennan: Don't be nice to me after I got you in trouble.
Booth: Your heart was in the right place.
Brennan: No. I'm not a heart person, you're a heart person. I'm a brain person. You vouched for me.
Booth: Forget it.
Brennan: No, I won't.
Booth: Getting information out of alive people is a lot different than getting information out of a pile of bones. You have to offer up something of yourself first.
Brennan: What exactly did you do in the military?
Booth: You see? You see what you did right there, Bones? You asked a personal question without offering anything personal in return. And since I'm not a skeleton, you get zilch. Sorry!
Angela: (to Brennan about her book) Who you captured perfectly is Booth. Buttoned down, but buckets of sexual confidence which I, for one, would love to tap.
Zack: It's not right to discuss tapping asses in front of a soaker.
Brennan: I find you very condescending.
Booth: Me? I'm condescending? I'm not the one who's gotta mention that she's got a doctorate every five min–
Brennan: I am the one with the doctorate.
Booth: Yeah, well, you know what? I'm the one with the badge and the gun, huh?
Hodgins: Is it paranoia that Monica Lewinsky was a KGB-trained-sex-agent mole?
Angela: Is the FBI gonna lay charges against Brennan?
Hodgins: She only shot him in the leg... once.
Booth: She didn't give him a warning. She just shot him... with alcohol on her breath.
Dr. Goodman: It was her first shooting, you can't expect her to be perfect right out of the gate.
Zack: How much warning did you give people before you sniped them?
Booth: Temperance, partners share things. Builds trust.
Brennan: Since when are we partners?
Booth: I apologize for the assumption.
Brennan: What if Booth is right? What if I'm only good with bones and lousy with people?
Angela: People like you.
Brennan: I don't care if men like me.
Angela: Okay, interesting, from people to men, but I'm sure it means nothing.
Brennan: I hate psychology. My most meaningful relationships are with (laughs) dead people.
Hodgins: The Senator, ah, he is smart. He gets an intern pregnant, then murders her when it threatens his career, and he has the connections to get away with it.
Brennan: (laughs) I hate it when you make paranoia plausible. It's like sliding off a cliff.
Dr. Goodman: As a federally funded institution, the Jeffersonian must seize every opportunity to prove our worth to our friends in Congress. Which means I loan you out as I see fit, especially to federal agencies.
Brennan: "Loan out" implies property Dr. Goodman, and the FBI will never respect mere property.
Dr. Goodman: I do not view you as property, Dr. Brennan. You are one of the Jeffersonian's most valuable assets.
Zack: An asset is, by definition, property.
Dr. Goodman: What's the rule, Mr. Addy?
Zack: You only converse with PhD's. You realize I'm halfway through two doctorates? Two halves make a whole so, mathematically speaking ...
Dr. Goodman: Go polish a bone, Mr. Addy.
Booth: You know in my line of work, no clothes usually means sex crime.
Brennan: In my line of work, it could also mean the victim favored natural fibers.
Zack: Your suit, for example, will outlast your bones by decades.
Booth: When did she die?
Brennan: Uh ...
Zack: Uh ...
Booth: What does that even mean?
Zack: It means wait until our bug and slime guy takes a look.
Booth: He's got no sense of discretion, that kid, typical squint.
Brennan: I don't know what that means.
Booth: When cops get stuck we bring in people like you, ya know? Squints, you know, squint at things.
Brennan: Oh you mean people with very high IQs and basic reasoning skills?
Booth: Bones identifies bodies for us.
Brennan: Don't call me Bones, and I do more than identify.
Booth: You expect me, a federal agent, to declare war on a United States senator based on your little holographic crystal ball?
Brennan: It's not magic. It's a logical recreation of events based on evidence.
Oliver: Did he kill Cleo?
Booth: Yeah, he killed Cleo.
Oliver: Okay. Then I'm down with him bleeding to death.
Booth: That guy bleeds to death, Bones will go on trial for attempted murder. You don't want that now, do you?
Oliver: I wouldn't want that.
Booth: No. Besides, you know, applying pressure, that can be very painful. (Oliver shuffles over to stop the bleeding)
Booth: What's it going to take?
Brennan: Full participation in the case.
Booth: Fine.
Brennan: Not just lab work. Everything.
Booth: What? You want me to spit in my hand? We're Scully and Mulder.
Brennan: I don't know what that means.
Featured Music:
"Collide" by Howie Day (as Brennan fits the pieces of the skull together)
"Pain On Pain" by Feeder (as Brennan looks at the holograph)
"Gone" by Thirteen Senses (at the funeral)
"Busy Child"
"Roll It Up" by The Crystal Method
(Syndicated and DVD releases made some changes to the songs, presumably because of licensing issues. On the season one DVD [Region 1] "Collide" is replaced with "Broken Bridge" by Daughter Darling. US syndication on some channels replaced "Pain on Pain" with "Stay For Life" by Andy Abraham.)
The show's theme song is simply titled "Bones Theme" and is written and performed by The Crystal Method. The band also created a full version of the song, titled "Bones Theme (DJ Corporate Remix)."
John M. Jackson makes an uncredited appearance as FBI Deputy Director Sam Cullen.
In the cast credits at the end of the episode, actress Naja Hill was credited as playing the character Cleo Hill, but the character is in fact named Cleo Eller, the murder victim.
The main character's name in Brennan's book is Kathy Reichs, the real-life author who created the Temperance Brennan character and whose life inspires the show.
Brennan's ex-boyfriend in this episode is named Pete, mirroring Tempe's ex-husband in Kathy Reichs' book series.
The scene at the beginning of the episode, where Brennan gets taken into custody at the airport, was actually filmed in the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The house used for the Eller house is on the same block of houses as the house used to film Charmed.
The outside shots of the building where Brennan and her team work, called "The Jeffersonian Institute" in the show, are actually shots of The Museum of Natural Sciences at the University of Southern California, according to the show's DVD commentary.
Most of the show is filmed in Los Angeles, California despite the fact that it's mainly set in Washington, D.C., where the fictional Jeffersonian Institution is located. The interiors of the Jeffersonian Institution were specially built on a large soundstage at the 20th Century Fox lot in Century City, California.
David Boreanaz and T.J. Thyne acted together in Angel's "Conviction", "Life of the Party", and "You're Welcome" before they were cast in Bones.
Third (or second) main role for David Boreanaz; he starred in both series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel as the character "Angel."
The audio commentary on the season 1 DVD for this episode is provided by Executive Producer Barry Josephson and Series Creator Hart Hanson.
The German episode title for this episode is "Die Frau im Teich," which means "The Woman In The Pond."

Brennan: What exactly am I supposed to be squinting at?
Booth: Ah, you know, it's like pornography. You'll know it when you see it.
This is a reference to Justice Potter Stewart, who during the obscenity case of Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964) said that hardcore pornography is hard to define, but "I know it when I see it."
Booth: You know you're not the only forensic anthropologist in town.
Brennan: (laughs) Yes, I am. The next nearest is in Montreal. Parlez-vous français?
This is a reference the fact that the character Temperance Brennan in Kathy Reich's books (on which the series is based), though originally from North Carolina, also works part time in Montreal. The real Kathy Reichs divides her time between academic duties at the University of North Carolina and her duties at the Laboratoire des Sciences Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale in the province of Quebec, Canada.
Booth: What, you want me to spit in my hand? We're Scully and Mulder.
Booth is referring to Fox's show, The X-Files. Another FBI, female and male partnership.

Easter bunny, medium rare: Chefs discuss serving rabbit
Last month, the New York Times ran an article about the increasing popularity of rabbits among do-it-yourself farmers. With Easter weekend afoot, The Hot Dish thought it a timely occasion to learn a little more about our cotton-tailed friends here in the Twin Cities. We checked in with some local restaurateurs about the appeal of serving rabbits--and whether they've ever had complaints from their customers about having the beloved pets on their menus.
"I grew up eating rabbit. I'm Italian, so it's kind of one of our staples" says Lenny Russo, the James Beard nominated chef of Heartland. For Russo, eating rabbit is in part a cultural thing, but he also points out that the leanness of the meat makes it a useful and versatile dish that is always popular when available. "It's got almost no fat. You just have to be careful, because it'll dry out and get tough."
Russell Klein, head chef at Meritage, makes the same point. "It's really nice, has a fresh flavor--as long as you don't overcook it. It's kind of mild, but far more interesting than chicken." Klein also points out that rabbit can make for a particularly dramatic presentation.
Erica Christ at Black Forest Inn says her restaurant's traditional hasenpfeffer (which translates to "pepper rabbit" in German) style of preparation adds to the appeal of rabbit on the menu. "We serve it with its own sauce and noodles, and there's whole pieces of it, it's not deboned, so it's a bit of an adventure," she says.
Klein and Russo prepare the meat in a variety of ways. Meritage, for instance, now has a crispy rabbit schnitzel, with a rabbit moutarde planned in the next week or so. Heartland, meanwhile, makes use of the rabbit in a variety of dishes, including as main dishes, first courses, and ragouts.
All three chefs say complaints have been few about the appearance of rabbit, although there have been exceptions.
"If I'm waiting on a family, it's an easy way to tease kids," jokes Christ. "The thing is, we're so extremely carnivorous [at Black Forest]. We don't have many vegetarian items, so it's kind of like, 'Where do you start [in criticizing the menu]?'"
Russo has had a bit more trouble than the others, though not at his current restaurant.
"When I was at the Guthrie, I got a spate of emails from crazed rabbit owners complaining that we're serving the third most popular pet in the country," he remembers. "I explained to them that these aren't pet rabbits, they're meat rabbits. [By that logic] anyone with a fish tank at home shouldn't eat salmon!
"I don't know, though," Russo adds with a laugh. "Maybe I'll get a bunch of flack for saying that."

A study of multivariable effects on public and private charter schools in Milwaukee shows the effects of truancy cuts across school and student demographics. Truancy data also has implications for school and student selection bias in "opt out" education programs. Raw data available here.
May 2013 – Wisconsin Budget Policy and Poverty in Education 2013
This report demonstrates in detail that the resources being afforded schools and students of poverty are insufficient, and indeed are facing further reduction. Moreover, the resources being diverted from schools of poverty into "choice" and non-traditional alternative education programs are producing questionable (at best) results with little to no accountability for the funding they receive.

November 2012 – Wisconsin Report Card Study 2012
This report documents findings in our analysis of the school performance data released through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Report Cards. The data show:
- Higher enrollments of economically disadvantaged students are a very significant factor in the school Report Card scores.
- Public schools have outperformed charter schools in serving economically disadvantaged students.
- This link is even more pronounced for schools serving the poorest students.
- Even when adjusting for poverty (e.g. ED enrollment) in the analysis, public schools performed better on the Report Cards than charter schools.

Wondered if I should order the Medium with the 3mm or the Small with the 2.5mm links?
Going to order one of these today for my 6 month old puppy and wanted to see what size you would recommend. She is not real big, maybe 42 lbs or so. Just want to get the correct fitted collar.
I got the houndsmen deluxe with a few extras for $450. These are much better than going with an all welded box.
LOL thanks you just made my decision for me. Didn't really want the ugly orange strap on the second collar anyway.
I am going to order the new Dogtra Arc and was considering the 2 dog. I have never owned a 2 dog system and assume that the advantages are many. Are there any disadvantages? Kinda nervous about...
Sorry about the bad news. I would definitely get a second opinion. One thing I have always experienced here is that 9 times out of 10, I end up with a total different diagnosis from each vet.
The all welded Houndsmen looks pretty nice.
We just kept ours in the crate for 10 days. Let out to go to bathroom and eating. Then back in. Not rocket science.
I am going to get the tall model in which ever one I choose. The owens has about an extra 1 3/8 inch head room. My male is big so I am going to get the bigger doors if I go with the Houndsmen. ...
The Houndsman Deluxe will be about $175 cheaper. I just wish there was a way to actually look at one.
I am stuck between these 2. Who has each and what do you think of them?
My dog tore one off pheasant hunting. Took him to the vet. He was back hunting the next day. He is one tough SOB and you would have to put him in a straight jacket to restrain him.
This pup will be 5 months old on Saturday. She has started to lay down on sit if I am at a distance. 20 yds or so. She doesn't move just flattens out. As I start towards her she pops back up. ...
I not interested in winning. But I do enjoy a nice looking hunting dog. Not all of us are field trailers and expect a nice looking dog with lots of ability when we pay $1500 for a puppy.
I would think a 3.5 month old pup should be with the owner and not a pro. I would not want to spend money putting a pup with the pro til it is healed up.
My older dog is the nicest most well mannered dog I ever seen or owned. Could not be more perfect. Just doesn't have a mean bone in him. I know he must get aggrevated but would never show it. ...
My pup is now 4.5 months and my older male is 7.5 years. The pup still pesters my older dog to death. My old male is very gentle and passive so he just puts up with her. Sometimes, most of the...
I thinks so. Looks like that is where I will send her. I talked with him on the phone a couple of nights ago so everything should be a go come April.
Looking for a little feedback on the trainer Bud McConnaughey. Might just send my pup there in April for the basics. If you want you can PM me information.
Kind of leaning towards the Arc for the fact I can get 2 collars.
I sent them an email.
These are the 2 I am considering. What are the pro's and con's?
Sounds like this dog needs to be started out just like it was a 8 week old puppy. Needs to bond with you and not a trainer.
Training with an e-collar is not easier my friend. And doing obedience with treats, then a choke collar and healing stick does not take longer. It is a step by step process. You need to get...

9-Lipoxygenase Oxylipin Pathway in Plant Response to Biotic Stress
Date: May 2012
Creator: Nalam, Vamsi J.
Description: The activity of plant 9-lipoxygenases (LOXs) influences the outcome of Arabidopsis thaliana interaction with pathogen and insects. Evidence provided here indicates that in Arabidopsis, 9-LOXs facilitate infestation by Myzus persicae, commonly known as the green peach aphid (GPA), a sap-sucking insect, and infection by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum. in comparison to the wild-type plant, lox5 mutants, which are deficient in a 9-lipoxygenase, GPA population was smaller and the insect spent less time feeding from sieve elements and xylem, thus resulting in reduced water content and fecundity of GPA. LOX5 expression is induced rapidly in roots of GPA-infested plants. This increase in LOX5 expression is paralleled by an increase in LOX5-synthesized oxylipins in the root and petiole exudates of GPA-infested plants. Micrografting experiments demonstrated that GPA population size was smaller on plants in which the roots were of the lox5 mutant genotype. Exogenous treatment of lox5 mutant roots with 9-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid restored water content and population size of GPA on lox5 mutants. Together, these results suggest that LOX5 genotype in roots is critical for facilitating insect infestation of Arabidopsis. in Arabidopsis, 9-LOX function is also required for facilitating infection by F. graminearum, which is a leading cause of Fusarium head ...

Changes in Gene Expression Levels of the Ecf Sigma Factor Bov1605 Under Ph Shift and Oxidative Stress in the Sheep Pathogen Brucella Ovis
Date: December 2012
Creator: Kiehler, Brittany Elaine
Description: Brucella ovis is a sexually transmitted, facultatively anaerobic, intracellular bacterial pathogen of sheep (Ovis aries) and red deer (Cervus elaphus). Brucella spp. infect primarily by penetrating the mucosa and are phagocytized by host macrophages, where survival and replication occurs. At least in some species, it has been shown that entry into stationary phase is necessary for successful infection. Brucella, like other alphaproteobacteria, lack the canonical stationary phase sigma factor ?s. Research on diverse members of this large phylogenetic group indicate the widespread presence of a conserved four-gene set including an alternative ECF sigma factor, an anti-sigma factor, a response regulator (RR), and a histidine kinase (HK). The first description of the system was made in Methylobacterium extorquens where the RR, named PhyR, was found to regulate the sigma factor activity by sequestering the anti-sigma factor in a process termed "sigma factor mimicry." These systems have been associated with various types of extracellular stress responses in a number of environmental bacteria. I hypothesized that homologous genetic sequences (Bov_1604-1607), which are similarly found among all Brucella species, may regulate survival functions during pathogenesis. To further explore the involvement of this system to conditions analogous to those occurring during infection, pure cultures of ...

Comparison of Aspartate Transcarbamoylase Activity Between Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Which Has One Chromosome and Burkholderia Cepacia Which Has Three Chromosomes
Date: August 2012
Creator: Nusair, Arwa Y.
Description: The pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway is essential and similar in all bacteria. The pathway from Pseudomonas is regulated by nucleotides which bind to the upstream region of the pyrBC' gene complex. Work in our lab mapped the genes and showed that the pyrB and pyrC' were part of an overlap complex. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa has one circular chromosome. A former Pseudomonas now called Burkholderia cepacia is similar to P. aeruginosa except that it contains three circular chromosomes (CI, CII, CIII) and one large plasmid. The primary chromosome named CI contains the pyrBC'. To our knowledge there has been no report of the activity of ATCase in Pseudomonas and contrasted with that of Burkholderia. Here, we compare the activity of ATCase in P. aeruginosa and B .cepacia. Cells of both organisms were grown in Pseudomonas minimal medium and in Enriched medium. The ATCase was extracted and partially purified from each sample. It is hypothesized that the B. cepacia has greater activity for ATCase than do the Pseudomonas.

DNA Degradation as an Indicator of Post-Mortem Interval
Date: August 2010
Creator: Watson, William H.
Description: The question of post-mortem interval (PMI) or time since death is often the most sought after piece of information associated with a medical death investigation. Based on the observation that DNA degradation disproportionately affects the analysis of larger genetic loci, it was proposed that DNA degradation, as a result of autolysis or putrefaction, could prove suitable as a potential rate-of-change indicator of PMI. Nine randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis primers and three sets of directed amplification primers were evaluated to determine their suitability for use in assessing the degree of DNA fragmentation in tissue samples. They were assessed for amplicon specificity, total DNA target sensitivity, allele monomorphism and the observance of degradation-based profile changes. Markers meeting the requisite criteria were then used to assess a range samples degraded under controlled and uncontrolled conditions. Tissue samples collected from seven domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) were incubated under controlled laboratory or uncontrolled field conditions to produce samples simulating those potentially collected in a forensic case. DNA samples isolated from these specimens were then analyzed at those loci which had been determined to meet the requisite criteria. Collectively, data generated from these analyses indicate that genetic profiles generated by this approach can provide ...

Engineered Microbial Consortium for the Efficient Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels
Date: August 2014
Creator: Anieto, Ugochukwu Obiakornobi
Description: Current energy and environmental challenges are driving the use of cellulosic materials for biofuel production. A major obstacle in this pursuit is poor ethanol tolerance among cellulolytic Clostridium species. The first objective of this work was to establish a potential upper boundary of ethanol tolerance for the cellulosome itself. The hydrolytic function of crude cellulosome extracts from C. cellulolyticum on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% (v/v) ethanol was determined. Results indicated that the endoglucanase activity of the cellulosome incubated in 5% and 10% ethanol was significantly different from a control without ethanol addition. Furthermore a significant difference was observed in endoglucanase activity for cellulosome incubated in 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% ethanol in a standalone experiment. Endoglucanase activity continued to be observed for up to 25% ethanol, indicating that cellulosome function in ethanol will not be an impediment to future efforts towards engineering increasing production titers to levels at least as high as the current physiological limits of the most tolerant ethanologenic microbes. The second objective of this work was to study bioethanol production by a microbial co-culture involving Clostridium cellulolyticum and a recombinant Zymomonas mobilis engineered for the utilization of oligodextrans.

Genetic Analysis of Development and Behavior in Hypoxia and Cellular Characterization of Anoxia Induced Meiotic Prophase Arrest in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Date: August 2011
Creator: Little, Brent Ashley
Description: It was hypothesized that chronic hypoxia will affect various biological processes including developmental trajectory and behavior. To test this hypothesis, embryos were raised to adulthood in severe hypoxic environments (0.5% O2 or 1% O2, 22°C) and analyzed for survival rate, developmental progression, and altered behaviors. Wildtype hermaphrodites survive chronic hypoxia yet developmental trajectory is slowed. The hermaphrodites raised in chronic hypoxia had different phenotypes in comparison to the normoxic controls. First, hermaphrodites exposed to chronic hypoxia produced a significantly lower number of embryos and had a slight increase in male progeny. This suggests that chronic hypoxia exposure during development affects the germline. Second, animals raised in chronic hypoxia from embryos to young adults have a slight increase in lifespan when re-exposed to a normoxic environment, indicating that chronic hypoxia does not negatively decrease lifespan. Finally, hermaphrodites that were raised in hypoxia will lay the majority of their eggs on the area of the agar plate where the bacterial lawn is not present. This is in contrast to animals in normoxia, which lay the majority of their eggs on the bacterial lawn. One hypothesis for this hypoxia-induced egg-laying behavior is that the animal can sense microenvironments in hypoxia. To examine if ...

Genetic and Environmental Factors that Mediate Survival of Prolonged Oxygen Deprivation in the Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans
Date: August 2010
Creator: LaRue, Bobby Lee, Jr.
Description: Ischemic events of even a very short duration are not tolerated Ill in humans. The human cost of ischemia, when looked at as combined cardiovascular disease, dwarfs all other causes of death in the United States. Annually, CVD kills as many people in the US as does cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, accidents, and diabetes mellitus combined. In 2005 (the latest year for which final statistics are available), CVD was responsible for 864,480 deaths or 35.3 percent of total deaths for the year. In my study, I have used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to determine genetic and environmental modulators of oxygen deprivation a key component of ischemia. I have found that animals with mutations in insulin like signaling pathways, neuronal function, electron transport chain components, germline function, and animals that are preconditioned by being raised on a diet of E. coli HT115 bacteria at 25°C have an enhanced ability to survive long-term (>72 hours) anoxia (<.005 kPa O2) at 20°C. The enhanced anoxia survival phenotype partially correlates with increased levels of carbohydrate stores in the nematodes. Suppression of this enhanced anoxia survival phenotype is possible by altering expression of the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16, and ...

Genetic Characterization of Central and South American Populations of Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao)
Date: May 2016
Creator: Kim, Tracy
Description: The wild populations of the Scarlet Macaw subspecies native to southern Mexico and Central America, A. m. cyanoptera, have been drastically reduced over the last half century and are now a major concern to local governments and conservation groups. Programs to rebuild these local populations using captive bred specimens must be careful to reintroduce the native A. m. cyanoptera, as opposed to the South American nominate subspecies (A. m. macao) or hybrids of the two subspecies. Molecular markers for comparative genomic analyses are needed for definitive differentiation. Here I describe the isolation and sequence analysis of multiple loci from 7 pedigreed A. m. macao and 14 pedigreed A. m. cyanoptera specimens. The loci analyzed include the 18S rDNA genes, the complete mitogenome as well as intronic regions of selected autosomally-encoded genes. Although the multicopy18S gene sequences exhibited 10% polymorphism within all A. macao genomes, no differences were observed between any of the 21 birds whose genomes were studied. In contrast, numerous polymorphic sites were observed throughout the 16,993 bp mitochondrial genomes of both subspecies. Although much of the polymorphism was observed in the genomes of both subspecies, subspecies-specific alleles were observed at a number of mitochondrial loci, including 12S, 16S, ...

Investigating the Ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyrE Mutants to Grow and Produce Virulence Factors
Date: December 2014
Creator: Niazy, Abdurahman
Description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa are medically important bacteria that are notorious for causing nosocomial infections. To gain more knowledge into understanding how this organism operates, it was decided to explore the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway. Pyrimidine synthesis, being one half of the DNA structure, makes it a very important pathway to the organism's survivability. With previous studies being done on various genes in the pathway, pyrE has not been studied to the fullest extent. To study the function of pyrE, a site directed mutagenesis was done to completely knock out pyrE, which encodes the protein orotate phosphoribosyl transferase that is responsible for converting orotate into orotate monophosphate (OMP). A mutation in this step leads to accumulation and secretion of orotate into the medium. Analyzing virulence factors produced by the mutant and comparing to the wild type, some intriguing features of the mutant were discovered. One of the findings was the over expression of virulence factors pyoverdin and pyocyanin. Pyocyanin over expression, based on the results of this study, is due to the accumulation of orotate while over production of pyoverdin is due to the accumulation of dihydroorotate. The other virulence factors studied were motility assays, exoproducts, and growth analysis. All virulence factor production ...

Investigation of Strategies for Improving STR Typing of Degraded and Low Copy DNA from Human Skeletal Remains and Bloodstains
Date: August 2014
Creator: Ambers, Angie D.
Description: Forensic STR analysis is limited by the quality and quantity of DNA. Significant damage or alteration to the molecular structure of DNA by depurination, crosslinking, base modification, and strand breakage can impact typing success. Two methods that could potentially improve STR typing of challenged samples were explored: an in vitro DNA repair assay (PreCR™ Repair Mix) and whole genome amplification. Results with the repair assay showed trends of improved performance of STR profiling of bleach-damaged DNA. However, the repair assay did not improve DNA profiles from environmentally-damaged bloodstains or bone, and in some cases resulted in lower RFU values for STR alleles. The extensive spectrum of DNA damage and myriad combinations of lesions that can be present in forensic samples appears to pose a challenge for the in vitro PreCR™ assay. The data suggest that the use of PreCR™ in casework should be considered with caution due to the assay's varied results. As an alternative to repair, whole genome amplification (WGA) was pursued. The DOP-PCR method was selected for WGA because of initial primer design and greater efficacy for amplifying degraded samples. Several modifications of the original DOP-PCR primer were evaluated. These modifications allowed for an overall more robust amplification ...

I have a recent Macbook Pro. My processor is a: 2.4 GHz (i7-3630QM) quad-core Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge with 6 MB on-chip L3 cache
I am running some cpu intensive programs, that each use "100%" of the cpu according to Activity monitor. They are very cpu intensive so will use all of the cpu time they can get. I ran 4 of these processes earlier, expecting my system to freeze while they were running and the CPU bar chart in Activity monitor to go to the top, however it says I'm only using 50% of my cpu power and my laptop is happily doing a bunch of other tasks as well!
Can anyone explain this? What does 100% mean in this context, and why are each of my processes only being given half of the time on the cpu when there is 50% of cpu time idle?
Thanks in advance

Hi all, I have tried several plugins for playing with custom taxonomies and post types and I am quite frustrated.
When I create taxonomy, post type and several posts with some plugin and then plugin is deactivated/unistalled then taxonomies and post types are missing while posts of custom types remains in database but are inaccesible.
For my opinion taxonomies and post types and their settings should be persistent (stored in the database) and WP itself should provide functionality to manage them.

Sweet and Sour Pork
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 20 mins
the secret to crispy pork is double frying! pork is fried until cooked, then drained. Just before the meal is served, drop the pork back in the (re-heated)oil for about 30 seconds, and serve.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 500 g pork (fillet or chops)
- 2 teaspoons dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- oil (for deep frying)
- 3 red capsicums (any color will do)

- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce (ketchup)
- 2 teaspoons cornflour
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup pineapple juice
- chop the pork into bite sized bits, and marinate in the sherry and soy while making the sauce.
- cut all vegetables into 1" squares, (bite size).
- heat oil and saute all vegetables, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- add pineapple.
- combine all other ingredients, and add to the pan, stirring till it thickens.
- keep warm.
- Pork.
- add the plain and cornflour to the pork and toss to coat, shake off any excess and deep fry the pork in medium hot oil until done.
- Drain the pork and re-heat the oil.
- cook pork for about 30 seconds, until crisp.
- serve on rice with the sauce poured over.

Cut this in half for 2 of us & this recipe was surprisingly EASY TO PUT TOGETHER, & TASTY, TOO! The sweet & sour was great, & the crispy pork, very enjoyable! I'm usually big on pork roasts, so this was a very nice change of pace! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a PRESSIE in the Aus/NZ 12 Days of Christmas Recipe Swap]
This came out great and the pork was wonderfully crisp! Only changes I made to suit what I had on hand was to use baby corn instead of the bamboo shoots and a small tin of red/green diced capsicum rather than fresh.

"The growth area to North of BCN" Granollers by DSwede
Granollers Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 3 photos
(the church above was heavily damaged in a civil war. The interior has been rebuilt quite nicely to show a wonderful mixture of old and new)
I've had the chance to visit Granollers a few times over the last 3 or 4 years and am amazed at how things are growing in the area.
Since Barcelona is relatively built up as much as it can be, there is an overflow of people and industry that needed to find a home. There is a lot of industrial expansion in the outskirts of Granollers, and therefore the city area itself is growing quickly with residential developments too.
It is still a small city, but with the influx of people and businesses, it is a new center for trendy shoppers to wonder the streets looking for the new fashions. In my honest opinion, there is not much to Granollers if you are not either there on business or into shopping.
There are the occasional Roman ruins and old stone streets, but structures like that are quite common in these areas.
For more general comments on Spain, visit my Spain page.
(for more pictures, feel free to visit my Spain Gallery. If you enjoy the pictures, please leave a comment.)
- Pros:Easily accessible from Barcelona by a train/bus in about an hour.
- Cons:Not too many sites to see for tourists.
- In a nutshell:A growing town due to the local industries, but has a very small historic center.

When his voice gave out, Jerry Bocich whistled. And clapped. And stomped his feet.
The Allentown fan, 53, and his son, Eric, 22, took seriously Jimmy Rollins' charge to Phillies fans for Game 6 of the National League Championship Series.
"Be out there," Rollins said. "Let 'em have it. Let. Them. Have. It. All of 'em. For real!"
In the stands at Citizens Bank Park, those words were gospel.
But in the end, even the most venomous boos weren't enough, as the Phils' bats fell quiet late, and the team lost, 3-2, to the Giants, ending its season and sending San Francisco to the World Series.

I'm leaning towards the Britax Marathon, but want to run it by you experts here. My DD is my first child - she's tiny. She's 10 months and a little over 17 pounds. I don't expect her to outgrow any carseat, so that's not an issue, I don't think. I have a 2007 Honda CR-V. Will the Marathon work? Any other important advice before I make the switch from her Graco Snugride?
Thanks in advance!

503,608 deals (and counting)
from around the web, shared and ranked by a community of deal fiends like you.
Go to Deals.Woot.
...because those sixth-generation diapers really sucked.
Since Woot! left out a critical detail, I thought I'd post it to save people some time:
Stage 3: 16-28 lb.
Maybe I'm the only one that didn't know that though. I mean, is Stage 3 a universal unit of measurement in the diaper industry?
Hmmm, no "are these refurbished?" comments yet?!
miken927 wrote:Hmmm, no "are these refurbished?" comments yet?!
If woot ever sold refurbished diapers, I'd be in just out of sheer curiosity.
Not in the market for stage 3's, but I bought these diapers last time they were sold here and they're good quality, no leaks, no complaints.
UGH!! Just getting out of Stage 3 -- offer Stage 4 please!!!
On the verge of stage 4 also, better not buy
Best diapers ever!!!! Finally the size needed in stock too! Yay!!! Please woot! more Sev Gen diapers in this size soon...and the wipes too! (The new, improved ones...not the old ones.

Genitourinary Cancer
Genomic profiling of the tumor of an "exceptional responder" with advanced bladder cancer revealed two mutations that may have been responsible for the patient's 14-month complete response to combined treatment with everolimus and pazopanib.
Exceptional responders, as defined by the NCI, are patients who exhibited a complete response or partial response for at least 6 months to treatment in a clinical trial in which less than 10% of patients responded.
"Studying exceptional responses can help us understand the specific reasons why some tumors are highly sensitive to certain anticancer agents," Nikhil Wagle, MD, an instructor in medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, said in a press release. "We can use that information to identify patients whose tumors have genetic alterations similar to those found in exceptional responders, and treat them with those same agents."
Nikhil Wagle
In the phase 1 trial, researchers evaluated nine patients with advanced solid tumors. All patients progressed while on standard treatments.
Patients underwent treatment with a combination of the mTOR inhibitor everolimus (Afinitor, Novartis) and pazopanib (Votrient, GlaxoSmithKline), in a regimen of one to 13 cycles. It was confirmed by imaging that one of the five patients with bladder cancer achieved a complete response, and this response lasted for 14 months.
To determine the cause of this outstanding tumor response, the researchers conducted complete sequencing of the coding area of the tumor genome, which consisted of approximately 25,000 genes. They discovered two concurrent mutations in mTOR, targeted by everolimus — mTOR E2419K and mTOR E2014K.
Through in vitro experiments, researchers found that these mTOR alterations were activating mutations, suggesting that this patient's unusual sensitivity to everolimus may have a biologic mechanism.
Three other patients with bladder cancer in this clinical trial had stable disease for less than 6 months, and a patient with cancer in his adrenal gland had prolonged stable disease for 13 months. However, none of the patients with lung cancer benefited from this trial.
According to researchers, screening cancer patients for mutations in the mTOR pathway may be valuable in identifying other patients with this heightened sensitivity to mTOR inhibitors.
"Results of our study suggest that we should make a catalogue of activating genomic alterations in the genes in the mTOR pathway," Wagle said. "Patients with tumors that harbor these alterations might be particularly suitable for treatment with drugs like everolimus and other mTOR inhibitors."
Disclosure: This study was funded by the Next Generation Fund at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the National Human Genome Research Institute, GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis. Wagle is an equity holder and a consultant to Foundation Medicine.

This shower curtain rod is beautiful. We recently purchased a new home and I was looking forward to decorating it. I was not disappointed in this purchase.
What I expected. Have not installed it yet waiting for our remodel to be completed and the new Shower Curtain to arrive
The hooks were fine and as expected. The shower rod was poorly manufactured.
with some ingenuity i was able to use this but yes it was broken.

Hilary Rosen, the Democratic strategist who has been savaged recently for targeting Ann Romney and supposedly maligning motherhood, was merely guilty of saying precisely the right thing in precisely the wrong way.
Mitt Romney is happy about what happened; he continues to milk the skirmish, especially in social media. Whittling Rosen's CNN remarks down to one errant phrase - "his wife has never actually worked a day in her life" - is good politics, because Romney needs to win over women voters, and what better way than to conflate Rosen's 11 words into a general Democratic indictment of all stay-at-home moms?

Comixology Windows 8 app getting axed end of the year
Just when Microsoft is, somewhat desperately, trying to push software developers to make universal Windows apps that run on any device form factor, Comixology is going in the totally opposite direction. It has rather silently updated its FAQ with a page answering "Where is the Windows 8 app?". It's still there, don't worry, but only until the end of the year. The world's biggest and most popular digital comics distributor is retiring its native Windows 8 app in favor of, what else, a "great web experience".

Matchups for Thursday, Jan. 22
All times are ET.
Key: Opp. PPG = Points per game allowed to opponents. Opp. FGP = Field goal percentage allowed to opponents. RPG Diff. = The difference between a team's rebounds per game and its opponents' rebounds per game.
Listen on ESPN Radio
You can listen to the following games on ESPN Radio or streamed on ESPNRadio.com:
7:30 p.m. ET: Celtics-Magic
Injury report
Tony Allen, SG, Celtics (ankle)
Gilbert Arenas, PG, Wizards (knee)
Jordan Farmar, PG, Lakers (knee)
Brendan Haywood, C, Wizards (wrist)
Mickael Pietrus, SG/SF, Magic (wrist)
DeShawn Stevenson, SG, Wizards (back)
Kobe Bryant, SG, Lakers (finger)
Kendrick Perkins, C, Celtics (shoulder)
Start 'em, sit 'em
Boston at Orlando should be a great game to watch, but if your fantasy team includes players on either of these rosters, your evening might not be all that enjoyable. With the Celtics second and the Magic third in opponents' shooting percentage (and there's a big gap between third and fourth place), some really good players are bound to post some really hideous shooting stats. This looks like a particularly tough matchup for Ray Allen, given that the Magic allow the third-fewest 3-pointers. But Allen did go 8-for-13 with three treys in the first meeting between these two teams (a 107-88 Boston win Dec. 1). Can Allen, who spent Tuesday's off-day at President Barack Obama's inauguration, do it again? Yes, he can -- but it won't be easy. Same goes for all the fantasy stars in this one. Kobe Bryant said he never had felt more pain than when he dislocated his right ring finger during Monday's game with Cleveland. He's still hurting, but you know he'll go versus the Wizards. Bryant will play with his ring and pinky fingers taped together for the time being, which should concern his fantasy owners. But if there's an opponent that can help Bryant get accustomed to handling and shooting a basketball this way, it's the Wizards. Washington surrenders the most 3s and the second-most assists.
Waiver-wire pickups
Kendrick Perkins has missed five games with a shoulder problem, but he is traveling with Boston during its Florida swing (the Celtics are at Miami on Wednesday). Between the injury and the fact that Dwight Howard would oppose him in the post Thursday, Perkins is a risky play. That said, like Allen, Perkins was surprisingly good (eight points, 13 boards) in the first game versus Orlando. As noted, the Wizards are last in the league in 3-point defense. That makes Sasha Vujacic, who just dropped four treys on the Cavs, a good fill-in candidate. Another fill-in possibility is Orlando's Courtney Lee, who's starting for the injured Mickael Pietrus. The 99 percent-unowned Lee is capable of getting you 10 points, a 3 or two and a steal or two. After a four-game stretch during which he shot 71.7 percent (43-for-60), Nick Young has tailed off the past couple of games. However, the Lakers do allow the fourth-most 3s, and Young has 11 buckets from downtown in his past seven games.

The transition from high school to college is a big step for many teens. Moving into a dorm room, eating in dining halls, hugging your parents' goodbye, and leaving childhood friends, can be extremely overwhelming for a college freshman. It is a time of change and for many it represents the beginning of adulthood. Many students, like myself, do not do well with change at all. The sudden change of environment and new responsibilities can cause students a great deal of stress and can make the... Read More

Somebody at the Vatican has WAY too much time on their hands. The official Vatican website, which now includes Latin as one of the languages, has a new feature: how to render modern words unknown at the time Latin was still a spoken language. Who knew that "hot pants" is properly rendered as "brevissimae bracae feminae" or that "mini golf" was "pilamalleus minutus." As for "factotum" I thought that was already in Latin.
In any event, check out the full list here but be prepared to laugh out loud.

China said Wednesday it will raise national military spending by 12.2 percent this year to 808.23 billion yuan, continuing double-digit expansion for the fourth straight year amid concern in the region over Beijing's increasingly assertive stance beyond its borders.
China said it will "deepen reform of national defense and the armed forces, strengthen military strategic guidance, and improve the system of modern military power," in a work report of the government, which was delivered for the first time by Premier Li Keqiang after the country's top leaders took office one year ago.
"We will strengthen national defense mobilization and the reserved forces, place war preparations on a regular footing, enhance border, coastal and air defenses," it said.
China also set its economic growth target of around 7.5 percent for 2014, unchanged from last year as nearly 3,000 delegates to the country's top legislature attended an annual session in Beijing to formally endorse policies decided by the ruling Communist Party.
China said it will try to cap its inflation rate at around 3.5 percent for this year, also unchanged from 2013.
During the session of the National People's Congress that will run through March 13, China's leadership under President Xi Jinping, which is facing a myriad of challenges, is most likely to pledge to accelerate economic and social reforms.
China's fast-growing economy, heavily dependent on infrastructure investment and exports, has created serious environmental problems and huge income disparities among its people.
Xi and other Chinese leaders have said it is time for the world's second-largest economy to have more sustained and quality growth, instead of being preoccupied with maximizing gross domestic product figures.
This year's virtual rubber-stamp parliament also comes at a time when China is struggling to ensure public security and defuse tensions with ethnic minorities that have simmering resentment over Chinese rule.
Four days before the opening of the session, a group of knife-wielding assailants stormed through a crowded railway station in the southwestern city of Kunming, leaving at least 29 citizens dead and more than 140 injured.
China has blamed the slashing rampage on separatist forces in the far western region of Xinjiang, home to the Muslim Uyghur minority group, describing it as a "premeditated terrorist attack."
The work report called for harmony among different ethnic groups in China and underscored the leadership's resolve to carry out measures to improve the lives of smaller populations.
"We are the people of all of the ethnic groups in the big family of the Chinese nation," it said.
On external relations, it is widely expected that territorial disputes with Japan and some of its neighboring countries are expected to be high on the agenda.
In addition to the standoff over the Senkaku Islands, controlled by Japan but claimed by China, relations between the two countries have severely strained over divergent perceptions of history, especially after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to the war-related Yasukuni Shrine in December.
In the work report, China said, "We will safeguard the victory in World War II and the postwar international order, and will not allow anyone to reverse the course of history."
Other major issues expected to be discussed during the nine-day meeting at the Great Hall of People on Tiananmen Square include corruption among officials, air pollution and urbanization.
On its resolve to fight corruption, China said it will "energetically build a system" to investigate fraud cases and "penalize offenders without mercy in accordance with the law."
