Somaclonal variation, i.e. the variation induced by cell and tissue culture, offers an opportunity to broaden the genetic variation of crops. As a result of somaclonal variation a wide range of plant characteristics can be altered. However, the selection of agronomically important traits, e.g. disease resistance, has many limitations. The efficiency of selection can be increased by the application of in vitro selection procedures. Selection strategies that may be applied to obtain disease resistant somaclonal variants are described. Their merits and limitations, in relation to the efficiency of the procedures, the frequency of disease resistant variants and the genetics of the resistance obtained, are discussed.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Taxpayers will get a chance to see how
their money was spent when Madison County Sheriff Blake Dorning
hosts an open house for the county's $80 million jail expansion.
The open house follows a ribbon cutting at 2 p.m. Thursday.
Construction on the city-county jail started in 2003.
Cracks were discovered in a support beam, leading the city to dismiss the original builder, and the city of Huntsville is suing Gadsden-based
Dawson Building Contractors in to try to recover some of the more
than $50 million in cost overruns.
Lee Builders finished the jail last September.
Dorning said he hopes to begin transferring inmates later this
month and eventually close the county's older jail annex.

If you're not watching America's Got Talent, you're missing out on some really amazing acts in what has turned out to be one of the most entertaining seasons ever. The high-flying jump rope stunts of the Chicago Boys, the comedic stylings of Taylor Williamson and John Wing, the hilarious circus act the KriStef Brothers and the operatic brilliance of Forte are just some of the amazing talent featured on what is a breakout season. There's one more, however, who's likely the greatest act ever seen on America's Got Talent: Kenichi Ebina. See for yourself in his audition.
OK, after watching that, Ebina clearly has your attention. In his second performance he "stepped it up a notch" as the judges love to say – he took those dance and martial-arts skills to a new level in a live audition for a video game.
And while it's hard to believe that those two performances haven't completely convinced you of his genius, here's his performance from Tuesday's episode that cemented Ebina as one of the greatest – if not the greatest – contestant ever to perform on America's Got Talent.
America's Got Talent airs Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
you are out of your mind this show is terrible
Yes, but the dude has skills. So what did we learn from your comment besides that you didn't bother watching the videos?
Epic post.
So, that's a giant "Woah" from me. Looks and acts like an anime character come to life. Amazing.

Year Ahead
What does the buzz around open standards like OpenStack, the open source cloud computing platform, mean for agencies in practice? Angel Diaz, IBM's vice president of open standards, offered three key indicators for 2014.
New ecosystems: "The power of open standards and innovation is not just having a single vendor or organization or open-source effort thinking of a problem. It's also about the ecosystem of folks enabled to connect into these things," Diaz said. "I think you'll start to see ecosystems expanding, and not just at the technology layers."
Flexibility in hybrid environments: As agencies shift from small-scale applications in the cloud to more mission-critical operations, hybrid clouds – a combination of public and private clouds – are likely to grow more common. Enter open standards, which Diaz said "allow greater flexibility" than proprietary solutions.
Cloud Foundry, the next big thing? Diaz predicts Cloud Foundry will be to application deployment in the cloud what OpenStack is for open-source cloud computing platforms. An open platform where users can build, test, deploy and scale applications in the cloud, Cloud Foundry has already developed a sizeable following. "A year from now, Cloud Foundry will be as big or bigger than OpenStack because there's a much wider audience," Diaz said. With so many potential applications looking to test the waters of cloud computing, Diaz said Cloud Foundry is sure to receive continued attention, including the government's. "Open platforms are going to continue to grow in 2014," Diaz said.

Knable to compete in state Youth of the Year competition
Published: Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 6:10 p.m.
Nick Knable, a 17-year-old senior at Hendersonville High School, has been selected to compete against other Boys & Girls Club members for the N.C. Youth of the Year title and a college scholarship. Knable is among hundreds of youth across the country recognized by Boys & Girls Clubs of America for sound character, leadership skills and willingness to give back to the community.
Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. The title recognizes outstanding contributions to a members family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as personal challenges overcome. The Youth of the Year program was founded more than 60 years ago and is sponsored this year by Tupperware Brands Corporation.
Knable saidd that the Boys & Girls Club has been instrumental in helping him rise above difficult life obstacles, including being raised in a single-parent household and losing several young friends to gang-related violence in his former hometown.
I really feel that without the club I might not be here today, Knable said. I feel safe at the club, and I have people to talk to. I come so that I can give back to my community and to keep myself goal-oriented. The club, to me, is a dream come true, he said.
Knable, an accomplished track star at Hendersonville High School, plans to become an attorney or athletic trainer. He has been a member of the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County for the past four years and is an active participant in Keystone Club, a leadership and service group for Boys & Girls Club teens.
We are very proud to name Nick our 2011 Youth of the Year winner, said Kevin Lauritsen, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County. Nick is a prime example of a Boys & Girls Club success story.
If Knable wins at the state level, he will compete for the title of Southeast Region Youth of the Year and an additional $10,000 scholarship. The five regional winners will advance to Washington, D.C, to compete for the title of BGCAs National Youth of the Year. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $15,000 college scholarship and is installed by the President in an Oval Office ceremony.
The Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County has achieved four North Carolina State Youth of the Year winners in the past seven years, including one winner who went on to become one of five finalists for national Youth of the Year.

There is a halachic principle that עשה דוחה לא תעשה - when a positive and negative mitzvah conflict, we obey the positive one. The Talmud learns this out of pesukim, but what is the hashkafic/philosophical reason for this?

- Anybody can ask a question

The Ramban (Sh'mos 20:8) says that because positive mitzvos stem from loving HASHEM while negative mitzvos stem from fear of HASHEM and love is greater than fear.
R' Nissim Gaon on Shabbos 132b says the following:
Translation (mine):
Likewise, Rashi on Berachos 20a sv "shev v'al ta'asheh" says the following:
Translation (mine):
I heard today in the name of Meshech Chochma (but I have no precise citation) as follows:
When one has these two choices —
— one is forced to violate a command. In a case of coercion, one is absolved from guilt; however, in case one is coerced to refrain from doing a thou-shalt miztva, one does not get reward for having done it. So consider the cost-benefit analysis:
So the former option is preferable.

Metal Bunk Beds
Metal bunk beds offer modern appeal at an affordable price. Popular among kids and adults, we offer a variety of bunk bed configurations such as twin over twin, twin over full and full over full bunk beds.
Our metal bunk beds are typically crafted from heavy-duty metal or lightweight tubular metals. Youth metal bunks tend to be lighter than wooden bunk beds so rearranging a room is significantly easier. Metal bunk beds feature a powder-coat finish, which makes the color finish highly scratch and chip resistant. We offer several fun colors such as pewter, grey, red, green, silver, gunmetal, black, white and blue.
Easily customize your bunk bed by looking at the available options. Many of our single bunk beds have convenient add-ons such as an under bed drawer or an additional sleeping solution with an under bed trundle. With so many options, it's easy to see why metal bunk beds are popular among children, adults and institutional use. Timeless by design, metal bunk beds are built to last and look like new even after years of rigorous use.

A WINCHESTER theatre company has received funding for a project that aims to help children in Eastleigh lean about life during the First World War.
Wet Picnic has received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for their project, Possible Futures, that will enable children to learn about the heritage of the First World War.
The grant was provided as part of the Heritage Lottery Fund's First World War Then and Now programme.
Children will work closely with professional artists looking at stories from people in Eastleigh during the conflict and the impact the war had on the local community.
They will take part in 11 weeks of street theatre workshops as part of the project, collecting photographs, newspaper clippings, documents, letters and keepsakes passed down from family members, before performing at the bandstand in front of family and friends.

Insomniac Games has announced that a new fun-sized Ratchet & Clank game for PS3, titled Ratchet & Clank: QForce, is scheduled for release this Autumn to celebrate the franchises ten-year anniversary.
In the US, the game will be called Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault and will be available digitally only, while a Blu-ray version is headed to Europe and India.

"Chicken With Plums" is a grand, romantic life story about love, loss, regret and the sadness that can be evoked by a violin — not only through music, but through the instrument itself. It is all melancholy and loss, and delightfully comedic, with enough but not too much magic realism. The story as it stands could be the scenario for an opera.
The film begins in Tehran in 1958, when the shah ruled a secular Iran not yet stilted by Islamic fundamentalism. Little is made of politics in the film, and still less of religion; it is all told through the soulful eyes of a master violinist named Nasser Ali, played by the familiar French actor Mathieu Amalric; as you may recall, they were expressive enough to carry his whole performance in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." Freely moving between past and present, the film paints his middle-class Persian family as he develops into a mediocre violinist, meets and loses the great love of his life, and transforms his pain into greatness.
"Chicken With Plums" was shot on soundstages in Berlin, creating an intimate Tehran that is sometimes enhanced by animation and by several clouds of smoke, one that a savant tells Nasser Ali contains the soul of his mother (Isabella Rossellini). The extraordinary cast also includes Maria de Medeiros as Faringuisse, the wife his family made him marry; Golshifteh Farahani as Irane, the clockmaker's daughter who is the love of his life; Edouard Baer as Azrael, the Angel of Death who is the narrator, and Chiara Mastroianni as Lili, Nasser Ali's daughter as an adult.
An unashamedly romantic score by Olivier Bernet deepens the film's emotions, as Nasser Ali briefly feels the ecstasy of love and then descends into a lifelong depression that leads to him going to bed and deciding to die. We see some of the events that led him to this extreme, but the film has no bad people, except for Irane's father (Serge Avedikiane), who angrily denies the violinist the hand of his daughter. How could she reject him? How can she tell him, 20 years later, that she has no memory of him? A closing scene is hopelessly sad. Nasser Ali's wife also shares the blame for breaking the treasured violin her husband was given by his master (Didier Flamand). She begins as a screeching harridan and later reveals the touching depths of her own love, expressed when she prepares his favorite dish, chicken with plums, and brings it to him on his deathbed.
The co-directors and writers are Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, whose film of her autobiographical graphic novel "Persepolis" was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award. Working here in live action with an adaptation of another of her graphic novels, they give themselves more stylistic freedom than even animation allows. One of the film's particular strengths is its portrait of an Iran that sheltered invaluable little shops and expressive old savants, and had not yet been dragged into the future — or the past, you decide.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Seven groups of socially living baboons between the ages of 0 and three months were observed at the Southwest Foundation for Research and Education, San Antonio, Texas. Six groups were harems containing one adult male (the biological father), the nursing mothers and their infants, and adult females without offspring. The other group consisted only of nursing mothers and their infants. All seven groups were housed in identical outdoor enclosures 45 m × 27 m × 23 m.
Fourteen behavioral categories were tested. The hypothesis that behavioral sex differences in infant baboons are influenced by the presence of an adult male was not supported by the test results. Sex differences were not detected in either the mother-reared infants or in harem-reared infants. Mother-reared infants (n=13) had significantly greater scores for contact aggression and non-contact aggression categories, whereas harem-reared infants (n=12) scored significantly higher for locomotion, non-aggressive social behaviors, exploration, and rough-and-tumble play.

[But in a letter sent this week to European ambassadors in Israel by the far-left Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity Movement, influential Israelis, among them a Nobel laureate and an Israel Prize winner, as well as the former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg and Israel's former ambassador to South Africa, expressed their support for a Palestinian bid.
They said: "As Israeli citizens, we announce that if and when the Palestinian people declare independence of a sovereign state that will exist next to Israel in peace and security, we will support such announcement of the Palestinian state, with borders based on the 1967 lines, with needed land swaps."]
The Palestinian leaders have to say it face to face and renounce terrorism like they mean it. How many times have we been down this road before? This letter has the tone of someone dwelling on how he's going to spend his grand prize sweepstakes winnings before the winning ticket is drawn. Wishful thinking doesn't make it happen.

I have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and a standard Xbox 360 controller. I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
When I plug in the keyboard, Windows automatically installs some drivers and starts the itype.exe process in the background. This appears to break the controller compatibility in some games. Note that all of these games work fine if I unplug the keyboard before launching them.
Games that work
- Onlive
- Jamestown
- Dustforce
- Dungeon Defenders
- Outcast (If anything should have broken, it's this. It's ancient! Why didn't it?)
Games that don't
- Altitude
- Rayman 3
My guess is that the Zoom toggle on the keyboard is acting like a joystick axis somehow? But I really have no idea. Is there anything I can do about this other than removing the keyboard before playing those games?

Hello, hope someone can help me solve my little problem.
I'm not a coder, and I'm learning CSS on the fly, but I set up a WordPress blog with the Kurbrik theme a few months ago, and made quite a few modifications in the style sheet to reflect a home page design & colors.
I tried to tweak the php to get rounded corners into the box, but gave up on that task when my changes didn't carry over to every page on the site.
I then turned the blog posting over to another person. Recently, I have returned to the news duties. Today, I made a horrible discovery -- the post pages are very hard to read because a background image isn't included in each post as it's page is generated.
for example: http://cgi.unk.edu/artblog/?p=15
I don't know if this is due to an oversight in the style sheet, or if I mucked something up in the php. Is there a help file that might help me get this fixed or can someone suggest a correction.

The Bishop's Palace
Mallett has been sourcing important antiques with the finest provenance for 150 years. These magnificent pieces will form the backdrop to your event.
This classical townhouse was built as the London Palace for the Bishop of Ely in 1770. The building is a famous architectural masterpiece and a Grade I listed building, designed by the renowned neo-classical architect Robert Taylor.
From 1894 until recently it was occupied by the Albemarle Club whose members included artists and authors such as Oscar Wilde.
Marble Hall and Dining Room
The Marble Hall will give your event a magnificent backdrop in a unique space. Still retaining the original plasterwork cornices from the Bishop of Ely's home, the fireplace is also decorated with his Bishop's Mitre. At the far end of the hall is a sweeping 19th Century staircase. A perfect setting for a drinks reception.
Also on the ground floor is the Dining Room, decorated in a rich red with beautiful stucco, which can be used for both drinks receptions and dinner. Rooms are available in the evening only.
The Drawing Room
The Drawing Room is the grandest reception room in the building with the incredible space set off perfectly by the expansive windows, original features, and Mallett's rare and very fine antiques.
The reception room is available for both daytime and evening events. The entire first floor is available for functions in the evening only.
The Exhibition Room
This large room, with further stucco decoration, is furnished with 20th Century when not used as an exhibition space.
This is the perfect setting if you would like modern and contemporary furniture to complement your event.

Here's our weekly look at some of the greatest images from around the world of sport.
This week we feature rugby union, the ATP World Tour tennis finals, golf in Turkey and Al-Ahli's success in the African Champions League football final as all provide memorable moments.
Most notably, our top photo is quite shocking with fans targeting a player with laser pens which besides being very dangerous would have been incredibly off-putting.
1. Fans of Egypt's Al-Ahli disgrace themselves by shining laser lights in the face of the poor goalkeeper of South Africa's Orlando Pirates Senzo Meyiwa during their African Champions League final at the Arab Contractors Stadium in Cairo on November 10.
2. Paris St-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic reacts during their Champions League match against Anderlecht at the Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris on November 5.
3. Fans of Egypt's Al-Ahli celebrate after the team won the African Champions League final match against South Africa's Orlando Pirates at the Arab Contractors Stadium in Cairo on November 10.
4. Montreal Alouettes' Tyrell Sutton (37) has his pants pulled down on a play by Hamilton Tiger-Cats' Jamall Johnson (28), as Delvin Breaux (27) and Courtney Stephen (22) try to tackle him during the first half of their East semi-final CFL American football game in Guelph on November 10.
5. Roger Federer of Switzerland walks onto the court to face Rafael Nadal of Spain in their men's singles semi-final tennis match at the ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 Arena in London on November 10.
6. Zenit St Petersburg's Hulk (R, bottom) reacts as Porto's goalkeeper Helton helps him to stand up during their Champions League match at the Petrovsky stadium in St. Petersburg on November 6.
7. Ireland's Fergus McFadden (L) is challenged by Samoa's Brando Vaaulo in their international rugby union match at Aviva stadium in Dublin on November 9.
8. Japan's Kenki Fukuoka, supported by (L-R) Shotie Horie, Ayumi Goromaru and Kolinasi, is tackled by Scotland's Greig Laidlaw and Sean Maitland (R) during their rugby union match at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on November 9.
9. Schalke 04's Max Meyer falls over Werder Bremen's Luca Galdirola (L) during the German first division Bundesliga match in Gelsenkirchen on November 9.
10. Manchester City's Sergio Aguero reacts after a missed opportunity against Sunderland during their English Premier League match at The Stadium of Light in Sunderland on November 10.

Never in my 90-year lifetime have I seen a president of the United States publicly abused by politicians and the media in the way Barack Obama has been. It is a disgraceful commentary on our nation's sense of decency. It is partly the rudeness of the Tea Party rednecks and of course it is a manifestation of lingering widespread racial intolerance.
Time will put President Obama in high regard, up there with the Mt. Rushmore heroes. His much- maligned Affordable Care Act will outlive the Koch brothers and Karl Rove's distortions and be as essential to our way of life as Social Security and Medicare are now.
The Republican House under its do-nothing Speaker will become a comedic sidebar in future history books. Fifty-four futile votes to repeal health care, and zero action to improve the economy, infrastructure, or comprehensive immigration reform! Those useless congressmen should return their paychecks to the treasury; they've done nothing to earn them.
We seem to be living in the age of calumny and derision. TV's talking heads give more coverage to vitriolic despots like Ted Cruz than to saner politicians.
We voters should be more careful in how we grant power with our votes. We deserve responsible lawmakers. But it's up to us to elect them.Richard C. Bartlett

Warm welcoming staff, so helpful, kind.. ace pub/bar/restaurant.. our room was comfortable, clean, had all the mod cons. was perfectly positioned for where we were visiting etc. Breakfast in the morning was gorgeous.

Will definitely come back if we need to be in London again.

Mercy without Borders [1]The Catholic Worker and Immigration [1]Mark and Louise ZwickPaulist Press, $19.95, 272 pp.
For more than three decades Mark and Louise Zwick have run a Catholic Worker house of hospitality in Houston, Texas—Casa Juan Diego. Most of the people they serve are undocumented immigrants, though more recently there have also been a lot of refugees from Hurricane Katrina. Mercy without Borders tells the story of the Zwicks' ministry—how it began and how it's developed over the years. Because it's a narrative rather than just an extended argument, the book grounds the issue of illegal immigration in the real human suffering of particular people. It offers up-close portraits of the immigrants themselves, and of the people who live and work with them.
We read of young women raped and impregnated by the "coyotes" who helped get them across the border, of immigrants who had to have limbs amputated after falling from trains, of undocumented workers cheated out of their wages by unscrupulous companies, and of badly injured workers dropped off at the Catholic Worker house instead of a hospital because a boss didn't want anyone to know they had no documents. We learn, or are reminded, that many immigrants fail to report crimes to the police because they're...

Definition of Thermopylae in English:
A pass between the mountains and the sea in Greece, about 200 km (120 miles) north-west of Athens, originally narrow but now much widened by the recession of the sea. In 480 bc it was the scene of a defensive action by an outnumbered Greek force of 6,000 men against the invading Persians under Xerxes I. Among the defenders were 300 Spartans, all of whom, including their king Leonidas, were killed.

Salvation Army Responds to Oklahoma Tornadoes
The Salvation Army is responding to the tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma yesterday. Five fatalities have been confirmed in Central Oklahoma with 57 injuries, and nearly 37,000 homes are without power. Local authorities are assessing damage and conducting searches for survivors at this time. Searches are expected to continue through the night.
Within The Salvation Army's Arkansas-Oklahoma Division, mobile feeding units (canteens) and individual officers are providing food and refreshments for first responders and others in the some of the hardest hit areas. An emotional and spiritual care team will also be deployed to support those affected by the storm's fatalities.
For anyone who would like to help those affected by the tornadoes, please consider donating at www.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY and designate your contribution to "Oklahoma tornadoes." Monetary donations will ensure The Salvation Army can meet the most immediate needs of those impacted by the storm.
Stay updated on The Salvation Army's efforts and needs through Twitter @SalvationarmyOK and online at http://www.salvationarmyokcac.org.

Standard & Poor's on Wednesday raised Turkey's sovereign credit rating to BB+ from BB, linking it to slowly rebalancing economy and progress made in solving the Kurdish problem.
"The Turkish economy appears to be slowly rebalancing, without undermining its relatively strong fiscal performance," the rating agency said in a statement.
"Turkey's floating exchange rate regime, prudential limits on foreign-exchange lending, and deepening local currency capital markets make the economy fairly resilient to potential shifts in capital inflows," it added.
"We are therefore raising our long-term foreign currency sovereign credit rating on Turkey to 'BB+'. The outlook is stable."
Turkey's Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek welcomed the upgrade as "encouraging" and he said: "We deserve a higher credit rating," in remarks carried by the private NTV broadcaster.
The upgrade also reflected progress made on resolving the Kurdish issue, according to the S&P.
Turkey has entered a historic ceasefire process with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) after jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan called for his fighters last week to lay down arms and withdraw from Turkish territory.
The move capped months of clandestine talks between Ocalan and Turkey's secret service with an ultimate goal of ending the three decades of violence which has cost some 45,000 lives, mostly Kurds.

The Rancho Bernardo facility acquired by solar energy component manufacturer Soitec in December 2011 is opened for business.
Soitec announced the grand opening Thursday. The factory is equipped with an automated production line and is operational, the company said. Photovoltaic solar modules produced in San Diego will support hundreds of megawatts worth of contracts for utility-scale projects in California, the company added.
The 176,000-square-foot factory sits on a 14.8-acre parcel of land, and represents an investment of more than $150 million. The company has completed an extensive upgrade of the facilities to install fully-automated manufacturing equipment and processes. The first module was produced in October, and the first phase of the production line is now operational, as initially planned.
The factory has been designed to reach 280 MWp in capacity at full production.
Soitec has said the factory should create 450 jobs at full capacity, including employees for the joint venture Reflexite Soitec Optical Technology LLC. This new company operates a manufacturing operation within the facility developing and manufacturing silicone-on-glass Fresnel lens plates used in Soitec's PV modules.

Proper "earth shattering" news from CES could have a ripple effect on technology ETFs, says Tom Lydon. Given consumer hunger for advanced graphics capabilities, investors should pay special attention to semiconductor funds like SPDR S&P Semiconductor (XSD) and Semiconductor HOLDRs (SMH).
