The Washington Demons will continue district play tonight when they play 4-1 Williamsburg.
Washington put up 51 points against Keokuk last week without their leading rusher Kyle Roder, who is still out with injury.
Washington continues to put the ball on the ground with 777 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, while they have 447 yards through the air with three touchdowns.
The Raiders will keep it on the ground as well with 1461 yards and 21 touchdowns rushing, but can toss it over the top with seven touchdowns and 894 yards.
Head coach Randy Schrader says the one big key though is ball control, and scoring when they can.
"Going to be ball control for us, we've talked all along that we are not built to come from big deficits, our kids just have to have good ball security, we have to play great defense and special teams, and score when we get the opportunity," Schrader said. "It's going to be a great night for football, good crisp autumn night, and there is a lot riding on the line early in the season for two great football teams, and I think if everyone comes out and does their job it's going to be okay."
You can catch all of the action from tonight's game live from Williamsburg on AM and FM KCII with pregame at 7 P.M. and kickoff at 7:30. The one to count on for today's local sports coverage is AM and FM KCII.

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - February 19, 2012 --Philadelphia right-hander Kyle Kendrick agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Phillies on Sunday.
Kendrick, 27, went 8-6 with a 3.22 ERA in 34 games for the Phillies last year. He made 15 starts, as Philadelphia won the National League East division title. He is now under contract through 2013, and the deal includes performance and award bonuses.
Kendrick was at his best within the division last year. In 18 games against the NL East, in fact, he went 5-2 with a 2.14 ERA.
Drafted by the Phillies in the seventh round of the 2003 draft, Kendrick is 43-30 for his career, with a 4.41 ERA in 127 games. He has made 98 career starts.

Detailed within a new study conducted by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, the group asked questions related to how average Americans consumed news on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. After asking a series of questions to approximately 9,500 U.S. adults, the researchers discovered that men were more likely to consume news on mobile devices when compared to women. Specifically, more than forty percent of men consume news on smartphones and tablets while less than a third of women use mobile devices to read or watch news.
In addition, men are more likely to watch news videos on mobile devices as well as read traditional, lengthy news articles. Alternatively, women are more likely to discover news stories on social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
When it comes to sharing news stories, users between the age of 18 to 49 are much more likely to share news stories with their friends compared to anyone over the age of fifty. Anyone under the age of fifty is vastly more likely to watch news videos over reading an in-depth article.
On the topic of the effectiveness of digital advertising, the youngest generation is the most likely to tap on an advertisement. Approximately one fourth of users between the age of 18 to 29 said they touch ad placements on tablets. However, only 12 percent of people between the age of 30 to 49 and seven percent of people over the age of 50 claimed to to the same. However, older users are much more likely to pay for a premium subscription to a news service.
Regarding education, people with a college degree are more likely to consume news on a smartphone or tablet when compared to people that did not complete college. In addition, education levels also show an interesting link to how a person consumes news on a mobile device.
People that have completed college are more likely to use a dedicated news application while people that didn't complete college are more likely to find news through a Web browser on a tablet or smartphone. As news consumption relates to income levels, people making more than $30,000 a year are more likely to consume news using smartphones and people making more than $75,000 a year are more likely to do the same using a tablet.
Beyond news, people between the age of 18 to 29 are the most likely to play games, use a social network or read a book on a smartphone. That age group is also the most likely to read a book or magazine on a tablet. When comparing tablet usage between iPads and Android devices, iPad users are significantly more likely to use the tablet multiple times a day compared to Android tablet owners. In addition, iPad owners are more likely to consume news on the tablet as well as use social networks and check email. When comparing tablet ownership versus education and income level, people that have graduated from college and make more than $75,000 per year are more likely to own an iPad. Amazon's Kindle Fire line was included within the Android tablets group.

The Advocacy Coalition Framework
Paúl Cisneros
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics. Please check back later for the full article.
Paul Sabatier and Hank Jenkins Smith introduced the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) in the late 1980s, to refine the theoretical and methodological tools available for the study of the policy process. In the past two decades, the framework has grown in use outside the United States, and it is now applied to study a broad range of policy arenas in all continents. ACF scholars have created a core community that regularly synthetizes findings from applications of the framework, giving the ACF the form of a true research program.
The ACF has three principal theoretical domains: advocacy coalitions, policy subsystems, and policy change. Expectations about the interactions between and within these domains are contained in 15 main hypotheses. The ACF posits that advocacy coalitions and policy subsystems are the most efficient way to organize actors interested in the policy process for empirical research. The policy subsystem is the main unit of analysis in the ACF, and there are four paths leading to policy change. The aspect that has received more attention in existing applications is the effect that external events have on policy change, and some areas in need of refinement include: policy-oriented learning, interactions across subsystems, the theoretical foundations to identification of belief systems, and how the interactions between beliefs and interests affect coalition behavior.
Attitudes Toward Women and the Influence of Gender on Political Decision Making
Mary-Kate Lizotte
There is a great deal of research, spanning social psychology, sociology, and political science, on politically relevant attitudes toward women and the influence of gender on individual's political decision making. First, there are several measures of attitudes toward women, including measures of sexism and gender role attitudes, such as the Attitudes Toward Women Scale, the Old-Fashioned Sexism Scale, the Modern Sexism Scale, and the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory. There are advantages and disadvantages of these existing measures. Moreover, there are important correlates and consequences of these attitudes. Correlates include education level and the labor force participation of one's mother or spouse. The consequences of sexist and non-egalitarian gender role attitudes include negative evaluations of female candidates for political office and lower levels of gender equality at the state level. Understanding the sources and effects of attitudes toward women is relevant to public policy and electoral scholars.
Second, gender appears to have a strong effect on shaping men's and women's attitudes and political decisions. Gender differences in public opinion consistently arise across several issue areas, and there are consistent gender differences in vote choice and party identification. Various issues produce gender gaps, including the domestic and international use of force, compassion issues such as social welfare spending, equal rights, and government spending more broadly. Women are consistently more liberal on all of these policies. On average, women are more likely than men to vote for a Democratic Party candidate and identify as a Democrat. There is also a great deal of research investigating various origins of these gender differences. Comprehending when and why gender differences in political decision making emerge is important to policymakers, politicians, the political parties, and scholars.
Candidates and Voting Choice
Ian McAllister
The role of candidates in shaping voting choice has generated much research—and at least as much controversy—since modern electoral behavior research began in the 1960s. Much of the controversy surrounds the personalization of politics and whether political systems—and especially parliamentary systems—are becoming more leader-oriented. Three fundamental changes in electoral behavior underpin the study of candidates and voting choice behavior: the declining impact of social structure on the vote; partisan dealignment, with voters drifting away from their traditional party attachments; and the decline in the mass memberships of political parties. Researchers argue that because of these changes, fostered by the growth of television, candidates have assumed a greater role in structuring the vote. While there is impressionistic evidence that leaders have become more important, empirical evidence of an underlying change in voter behavior is more difficult to identify. Accordingly, this essay focuses mainly on changes in the political context within which candidates operate, since we expect this to be the source of any change.
The design of political institutions shapes the level of attention that candidates receive, and that is especially the case with electoral systems. Electoral systems with fewer parties are more likely to focus voters' attentions on candidates when compared to systems with larger numbers of parties. Weak party organizations coupled with partisan dealignment within the electorate can also alter the role and profile of candidates, although their impact is difficult to quantify. Changes in the mass media—and particularly the advent of television in the 1960s and the visual images on which it relies—are often viewed as the major cause of the personalization of politics. A new disruptive technology, the Internet, looks likely to stimulate additional political change for candidates and voting in the 21st century. Finally, what voters look for in their candidates appears to be stable both over time and cross-nationally and can be reduced to two overarching qualities: character and competence.
The Changing Nature of Political Party Membership
Susan E. Scarrow
Party membership has long been an important channel for political participation in many countries. Strong membership organizations have helped parties win elections and stay connected with voters between elections, and membership opportunities have helped to mobilize some citizens who might otherwise have stayed out of politics. Yet in the last quarter-century, long-established political parties in parliamentary democracies have, with a few notable exceptions, experienced sharp enrollment declines, while newer parties have developed modest memberships at best. This has led many observers to question the continued viability of membership-based political parties.
However, that is not the whole story. While some signs point to the obsolescence of party membership, there are other indications that parties are trying to reinvent the form, whether as a passport to individual political empowerment or as a pathway to digital citizenship. Most strikingly, many parties are experimenting with new procedures that give members a direct say in important party decisions. In this sense, the paradoxical story of party membership in the early 21st century is one of numerical decline accompanied by a possible increase in political relevance.
Citizens and Political Sophistication
Henrik Oscarsson and Lauri Rapeli
Political sophistication refers to the role of expertise and the use of information in the forming of political judgments. Citizens in a democracy need a sufficient level of political sophistication to make sense of politics and to hold office holders accountable. Most people do not seem to be as sophisticated as theory would expect, and political sophistication also seems to be very unevenly spread among individuals. The consequences for democratic governance continue to be a matter of much scholarly debate.
Although most researchers agree that sophistication among citizens tends to be low, many issues in the research field are deeply contested. First, several concepts such as awareness, sophistication, and knowledge are used more or less interchangeably in analyses of the political competence of citizens. It is, however, unclear whether the terminology conceals essential conceptual differences.
Second, the empirical strategy of using surveys to measure sophistication has been heavily criticized. For some, the survey is an unsuitable method because it measures the respondents' ability to produce correct answers under suboptimal conditions, rather than measuring what they actually know about politics. For others, the survey questions themselves are an inadequate measure of sophistication.
Third, it is not clear what the effects of citizens' political sophistication or lack thereof are on democratic governance. According to one group of scholars, the aggregated opinions and electoral choices of democratic publics would not look very different even if they were more sophisticated. The opponents of this low-information rationality theorem claim that increases in citizens' sophistication would lead to substantial differences in democratic output. In other words, perceptions of the significance of sophistication for democracy deeply divide scholars working in the field.
There is less disagreement concerning the individual-level determinants of sophistication. Although being male, well educated, and in a socially advantaged position still stand out as the strongest predictors of high sophistication, recent findings provide a more nuanced understanding of how sophistication is distributed among citizens.
In addition to many enduring disputes, some questions remain largely unanswered. Without cross-nationally standardized survey items, scholars have struggled to conduct comparative studies of political sophistication. Therefore, role of political institutions as facilitators of political sophistication is to some extent uncertain. Whether and how sophistication changes over time are equally important, but mostly unexplored, questions.
Counterfactuals and Foreign Policy Analysis
Richard Ned Lebow
Counterfactuals seek to alter some feature or event of the pass and by means of a chain of causal logic show how the present might, or would, be different. Counterfactual inquiry—or control of counterfactual situations—is essential to any causal claim. More importantly, counterfactual thought experiments are essential, to the construction of analytical frameworks. Policymakers routinely use then by to identify problems, work their way through problems, and select responses. Good foreign-policy analysis must accordingly engage and employ counterfactuals.
There are two generic types of counterfactuals: minimal-rewrite counterfactuals and miracle counterfactuals. They have relevance when formulating propositions and probing contingency and causation. There is also a set of protocols for using both kinds of counterfactuals toward these ends, and it illustrates the uses and protocols with historical examples. Policymakers invoke counterfactuals frequently, especially with regard to foreign policy, to both choose policies and defend them to key constituencies. They use counterfactuals in a haphazard and unscientific manner, and it is important to learn more about how they think about and employ counterfactuals to understand foreign policy.
Dead Ends and New Paths in the Study of Economic Voting
Timothy Hellwig and Dani M. Marinova
Connections between the economy and vote are commonly invoked to evaluate political accountability in representative democracies. A principal motivation for studying economic voting lies in its value as a gauge of whether democracy works or not. In recent years, however, researchers have cast doubt on the assertion that economic conditions influence voters' evaluations of political incumbents.
Criticisms hail from several directions. Some, adopting a cross-national perspective, cite the instability problem as evidence against economic voting's existence. That is, variance in the economy-vote relationship across different national contexts is sufficiently large so as to undermine claims that the economy registers a systematic effect. Other critics charge that the electorate lacks sufficient knowledge to incorporate economic conditions in their decisions at the polls. Still others remind us not to mistake correlation for causation. They charge that the voters' perceptions of how well the economy is performing are viewed through a pre-existing partisan lens. All told, these and other reservations cast doubt on the use of economic voting as a means to evaluate accountability and, in turn, democratic performance.
These charges against the fidelity of economic voting require further examination. Rather than join a growing chorus of observers concluding that the economic vote is a chimera, this piece posits that recent critiques should push us to reconceive rather than discredit economic voting. Recent work in psychology and behavioral economics provides a basis for constructive and meaningful reinterpretations of the economy's influence on voter decisions. These new directions include an emphasis on framing effects—be it on the part of strategic elites or from the media, an emphasis on what voters know about the economy, and a wider consideration of just which "economy" matters to which set of voters. While many in number, each of these new directions advance understanding by embodying deeper conceptions of voters and elected officials.
The Decision to Vote or to Abstain
Elisabeth Gidengil
Why voters turn out on Election Day has eluded a straightforward explanation. Rational choice theorists have proposed a parsimonious model, but its logical implication is that hardly anyone would vote since their one vote is unlikely to determine the election outcome. Attempts to save the rational choice model incorporate factors like the expressive benefits of voting, yet these modifications seem to be at odds with core assumptions of rational choice theory. Still, some people do weigh the expected costs and benefits of voting and take account of the closeness of the election when deciding whether or not to vote. Many more, though, vote out of a sense of civic duty. In contrast to the calculus of voting model, the civic voluntarism model focuses on the role of resources, political engagement, and to a lesser extent, recruitment in encouraging people to vote. It pays particular attention to the sources of these factors and traces complex paths among them.
There are many other theories of why people vote in elections. Intergenerational transmission and education play central roles in the civic voluntarism models. Studies that link official voting records with census data provide persuasive evidence of the influence of parental turnout. Education is one of the best individual-level predictors of voter turnout, but critics charge that it is simply a proxy for pre-adult experiences within the home. Studies using equally sophisticated designs that mimic the logic of controlled experiments have reached contradictory conclusions about the association between education and turnout. Some of the most innovative work on voter turnout is exploring the role of genetic influences and personality traits, both of which have an element of heritability. This work is in its infancy, but it is likely that many genes shape the predisposition to vote and that they interact in complex ways with environmental influences. Few clear patterns have emerged in the association between personality and turnout. Finally, scholars are beginning to recognize the importance of exploring the connection between health and turnout.
Do Campaigns Make a Difference?
Paul Whiteley
The study of political campaigns is very varied in the political science literature. On the one hand, campaigns can involve groups of citizens working together on a local issue of concern to them, such as preventing an airport expansion from threatening their community. Only a relatively few people are likely to be actively involved and the goals of such a campaign are fairly clearly defined and limited. At the other end of the scale a campaign can consist of a broad social movement that is trying to influence public opinion and bring about changes in public policies on really big issues like climate change and global warming. Large numbers of people are likely to be involved and the goals are broad and ambitious. In between these two extremes, a whole range of campaigns with different objectives and strategies are to be found in contemporary democracies. This article focuses on election campaigns which are in an intermediate position between these two. Early research suggested that such campaigns were not very important but subsequent research shows that they are influential both in increasing turnout and changing the party choices that individual electors make.
Don't Expose Yourself: Discretionary Exposure to Political Information
Gaurav Sood and Yphtach Lelkes
The news media have been disrupted. Broadcasting has given way to narrowcasting, editorial control to control by "friends" and personalization algorithms, and a few reputable producers to millions with shallower reputations. Today, not only is there a much broader variety of news, but there is also more of it. The news is also always on. And it is available almost everywhere. The search costs have come crashing down, so much so that much of the world's information is at our fingertips. Google anything and the chances are that there will be multiple pages of relevant results.
Such a dramatic expansion of choice and access is generally considered a Pareto improvement. But the worry is that we have fashioned defeat from the bounty by choosing badly. The expansion in choice is blamed for both, increasing the "knowledge gap," the gap between how much the politically interested and politically disinterested know about politics, and increasing partisan polarization. We reconsider the evidence for the claims. The claim about media's role in rising knowledge gaps does not need explaining because knowledge gaps are not increasing. For polarization, the story is nuanced. Whatever evidence exists suggests that the effect is modest, but measuring long-term effects of a rapidly changing media landscape is hard and may explain the results.
As we also find, even describing trends in basic explanatory variables is hard. Current measures are beset with five broad problems. The first is conceptual errors. For instance, people frequently equate preference for information from partisan sources with a preference for congenial information. Second, survey measures of news consumption are heavily biased. Third, behavioral survey experimental measures are unreliable and inapt for learning how much information of a particular kind people consume in their real lives. Fourth, measures based on passive observation of behavior only capture a small (likely biased) set of the total information consumed by people. Fifth, content is often coded crudely—broad judgments are made about coarse units, eliding over important variation.
These measurement issues impede our ability to answer the extent to which people choose badly and the attendant consequences of such. Improving measures will do much to advance our ability to answer important questions.

Shotwell developers aim to solve Linux's e-mail problems

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/geary ... ail-client
The amount of money we're asking for is the bare minimum to make the next version of Geary. Every dollar over $100,000 goes toward more features and a faster, stable email experience.
Why so much?
Some people have asked why we're asking for $100,000, or have suggested that an email program isn't worth that much money. A few things worth pointing out:
Quality software is expensive to develop. As explained above, we're paying three full-time engineers to develop Geary. We have little overhead other than that -- our development workstations have been are paid for with past income. Your contributions go directly to the development of Geary!
Likewise, know that existing email applications had similar development costs but were in many cases subsidized by corporate sponsors. Yorba is accepting no corporate sponsorship for the development of Geary. That means your priorities are our priorities.
Other software crowdfunding campaigns ask for less money, but they plan on selling their software later or tying it to a subscription service. Geary is 100% open-source and is tied to no email or pay service. What we're asking for is exactly what we think is needed to develop the features we've listed above.
Finally, remember that we're not asking you for $100,000, rather we're asking everyone to contribute a little toward that amount. What's a program like Geary worth to you? Most people leave email open every day and all day and are constantly working with it. Is that worth $10, $25, or $100 to you?

Bad Teacher (UK - BD)
Chris takes a look at the Blu-ray release of this recent Cameron Diaz comedy...
Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is a foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate teacher. She drinks, gets high, and can't wait to marry a meal ticket to get out of her bogus day job. When she's dumped by her fiancé, she sets her sights on a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) while shrugging off the advances of the school gym teacher (Jason Segel). The consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, co-workers, and even herself an education like no other! (Taken from the Sony synopsis.)
This Blu-ray release includes an extended cut of the film, dubbed the 'School's Out Edition', which runs around five minutes longer than the theatrical release. Curiously the original version isn't included. The additions are mostly short scene extensions rather than entirely new scenes (although there are a couple of those), and don't really add a great deal to the proceedings.
Bad Teacher's 1.85:1 (1080/24p AVC) image looks like a lot of the other modern comedies I've seen on the format. It has a bright colour palette, with plenty of highly-saturated primaries that pop off of the screen, a moderate push towards the warmer end of the spectrum, and slightly hot contrast. Detailing is very strong throughout, and there are no discernible artefacts (film or digital) to contend with. All things considered it's at the top end of the spectrum visually. It's a pity that the film does little to set itself apart from many similar features visually, but that's no fault of the Blu-ray, which is impeccable from start to finish.
The visuals are accompanied by an unremarkable, yet perfectly functional DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. It delivers strong, centralised dialogue across the board, a reasonable amount of ambience (general school chatter, applause, that kind of thing), the occasional discrete effect (cars moving through the soundstage), and moderate bass to reinforce one or two key sequences. Music is also given plenty of presence in the mix; in fact it's probably the most prominent element save for the dialogue. Basically it does its job well, but owing to the nature of the source it's never going to win any awards or serve as demo material.
The Blu-ray Disc includes everything found on the DVD release of the movie, including deleted scenes (05:44 HD), outtakes (03:53 HD), and a couple of featurettes ('Way Behind the Scenes with Jason & Justin' (05:38 HD) and 'Raising More Than Funds' (03:31 HD)). There's also Blu-ray exclusive material in the shape of a gag reel (04:58 HD), 'Jams Yearbook-Hidden Moments (which is an interactive yearbook feturing outtakes with the cast), and an additional three featurettes ('A Very Odd Blacksmith Story' (02:08 HD), 'Swimming with the Dolphins (03:35 HD), and 'Good Teacher' (04:04 HD)). The usual movieIQ+sync and BD-Live stuff is also included, but who uses that? Oh, there's also a deleted footage marker that, when activated, pops up whenever a scene not included in the theatrical cut appears. To be honest it's all pretty fluffy stuff and I would have liked more substance.
I caught a showing of Bad Teacher earlier in the year and I came away unimpressed. This second viewing on Blu-ray hasn't done anything to alter my opinion of the film and its biggest problem is that it's just not funny enough. I expect more than two or three laughs from my comedies, and Bad Teacher barely made me chuckle that many times in either its theatrical or extended forms. Having said that, I appreciate that the film has its fans, and they won't be disappointed by what's on offer technically. The Blu-ray has exemplary visuals, solid audio, and a reasonable collection of extras (when judged against similar titles), so I have no problem recommending the disc if you were more enamoured with the feature than I was.

I had a fun with this one but Jason Segel feels like he's part of a MTV style spoof of the film and feels added in post most of the time. Funny but strangely disconnected from the scenes he's in.

I think that my daughter is starting to wean. She will be one on the 22nd and during the day she just isn't really showing a lot of interest in nursing. Other than feel engorged I don't have a problem with her nursing less. But I'm worried that if she keeps decreasing her nursing sessions and isn't eating 3 square meals a day that she won't get everything she needs to stay healthy Between the ages of 1 and 2 how often would she need to nurse to get what she needs????
We have EBF for almost a year, she loves foods and her sippy cup now. She likes juices and tea, and kool aid. Choc milk sometimes too. Going to start keeping a sippy of water so she gets used to it. I'm terrified of baby led solids (I kind of freak out when she chokes ) I'm scared that the first time I give her a chunk of something that she is supposed to be able to have that she will choke and die and I can't stop thinking that everytime that someone tries to convince me to give her something. But she loves flavors. I blend things up in the bullet, and we mash what we can with a fork, or cut stuff up into small pieces.
Also, I was thinking about trying to cut down on the nighttime nursing, but I didn't want to take it all away. I don't know if it's any easier to cut back at night or to leave her be and let he choose. (I know DD2 wouldn't potty train for me, no matter what I tried, but when she was ready it was almost instant.) So when I think of trying to make her wean compared to letting her wean herself, I think of that and it makes me think that things go easier and more smoothly when allowed to go on their time.
I hope I'm making since. I starting to doze off
I am also going to start Birth control pills and didn't know if it could mess with our nursing relationship when it's already been a year....
Thanks everyone!!!!

Never Got to Go for Gold
By: Legacy Staff

Not every Olympic-caliber athlete makes it to the Olympics. For some, injury intervenes and shuts down their chance to compete. For others, it may be financial hardship that prevents them from going to the Olympic Games. But for many athletes, it isn't their bodies or personal circumstances that get in the way – it's politics.
Arguably, politics always plays a part in the Olympic Games, but even so the games go on. But on rare occasions, war or political disputes have caused the games to be compromised or cancelled outright: The 1916 Olympics were cancelled due to World War I... World War II prevented the 1940 and 1944 games from happening... In 1980, many nations boycotted the Summer Olympics in Moscow... In 1984, the Soviet Union and other communist countries returned the snub when the competition moved to Los Angeles.
The 12-year hiatus due to World War II was one of the biggest disappointments of all time for the amateur athletes of the world, and many missed their chance at glory altogether. Today we spotlight one of those would-be Olympians.
While still in high school, Fumi Seshita Scantlin prepared to compete as captain of the women's handball team for the 1940 Tokyo Olympics to be held in her native Japan.
In the obituary published in the Herald Democrat of Sherman, Texas, Fumi's family wrote a mini-biography, explaining that Fumi received a degree in Physical Education from Tokyo University, then taught girls' high school physical education. Four years later, the Japanese Army sought her and a handful of other young professionals to serve as an administrative assistant to a Japanese lieutenant during World War II. She was stationed in Java, Indonesia, a small island in the South Pacific.
Upon returning to Japan, she found that B-29 bombings had destroyed her family's home of many decades and that her parents had escaped harm and had taken refuge in a temple at the time of the attack.
Fumi met Sherman Scantlin, SSgt, USAF, in 1954, married him in 1955 and became a U.S. citizen in 1964. Fumi worked from 1973 to 1986 at the now defunct Levi Strauss Company, in the hemline group, then as a pants presser.
Fumi died June 26 at age 90:
She left this world... to join her parents, sisters and husband in a place without borders, where her beautiful spirit was created in peace and love.
Though Fumi missed the chance to compete in the Olympics, it would seem that her spirit was – and still is – that of an Olympian.
This post was contributed by Alana Baranick, a freelance obituary writer. She was the director of the Society of Professional Obituary Writers and chief author of Life on the Death Beat: A Handbook for Obituary Writers before she passed away in 2015.

Sanders Admits To Murders
CELINA — Trevin Sanders faces life in prison without the possibility of parole after admitting to his role in the November 2011 murders of Robert and Colleen Grube.
During a change-of-plea hearing Thursday morning, Sanders, 19, pleaded guilty to two counts each of aggravated murder, with gun specifications, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary, for his role in the Grube murders. In exchange for the guilty pleas, Mercer County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Fox agreed to dismiss 21 additional criminal charges against Sanders.
Fox painted a picture of a meth-fueled night that ended in Sanders, Bryant L. Rhoades, 22, and several other people arriving at the Grube residence in Fort Recovery with the intention of finding items to steal. Fox said Grubes were targets but did not give a reason.
"Mr. Sanders has admitted to intimate details of the crime that only would be known to someone who was present and participated in the events that led to the deaths of Robert and Colleen Grube," Fox said. "Mr. Sanders has admitted and confessed that on Nov. 29, 2011, he traveled to the 2216 Burrville Road, Fort Recovery, Ohio, residence in a motor vehicle with several other individuals including Bryant L. Rhoades. Mr. Sanders knew they were traveling to the residence in order to burglarize the home and to rob the occupants."
Before getting to the Grube residence, Fox said Sanders admitted to smoking meth with the other occupants in the vehicle. They pulled up to the Grube residence, rang the door bell and claimed they needed assistance because of vehicle issues. They then forced their way into the Grube home and proceeded to ransack it.
Fox said the Grubes were immediately duct taped and after ransacking the home, Sanders found a firearm, test fired the gun into a doorway, and fired several rounds into Colleen Grube, killing her. Fox said Sanders admitted to then giving the gun to Rhoades, who he said then shot and killed Robert Grube.
"Robert Grube and Colleen Grube were killed to prevent Mr. Sanders, Rhoades and a group of subjects from being identified and apprehended," Fox said.
When Mercer County Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Ingraham asked Sanders if he agreed with the statement of facts, Sanders answered affirmatively. Ingraham accepted the pleas and ordered Sanders to appear for a sentencing hearing at 2 p.m. April 15, at which time he faces a maximum of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Sanders was not eligible to face the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the crimes.
Rhoades has been charged in the matter as well. Rhoades faces the death penalty if convicted on the aggravated murder charges. He has pleaded innocent to the charges. No one else has been charged in the case.

New and old words
Keely and Taurus came for pizza on Saturday night, and after supper, Keely, Isaac, and I played a game of Scrabble on Keely's extra-large board.
Isaac played "LEET" and said it was an alternative internet language. It wasn't in the dictionaries we were using, and I had never heard of it. With some indignation and a bit of scorn, Isaac produced an Urban Dictionary definition of leet on his laptop and educated me.
Today, I looked up leet at www.dict.org and learned that it has some traditional meanings as well. It's another name for a pollack (a type of fish), and it also has some legal meanings. If you don't see LEET on the gameboard, that's because someone added an F and made it "FLEET."
"POO" was also one of Isaac's words. Isaac thought I was picking on him when I checked to see if poo was in the dictionary. He shouldn't have worried. According to the yellowed pages of a 1961 Funk & Wagnalls dictionary that we had on the table, poo is a verb of Scottish derivation that means "pull".
I played "PENT" and the kids questioned it because it's usually heard as "pent-up". Of course, it's in the dictionary. Pent is an old variant of "penned", meaning "confined or caged". Really, would I try to invent a word, children? (Don't answer that question, please. It's strictly rhetorical.)
We didn't reach many of the quadruple word squares at the edges of the board. I think it was because Keely was hoarding all the good letters. (Just kidding, Keely!). Below, her letters at one point in the game -- nary a vowel amongst them. If she had known about the Scrabble Solver, she would have been wanting to use it!

Christopher Swain stroked past Hood River this week on his epic swim down the Columbia River. Despite battling high winds for several days as he made his way mile by mile from The Dalles to Lyle to Mosier, and finally on to Hood River, Swain was happy to be here for a single reason: it is the home of ProMotion Wetsuits, one of his most important sponsors.
Swain's ProMotion wetsuit was chafing his neck and he desperately needed help.
"The chafing has motivated ProMotion to do some surgery," Swain said Thursday, hours after the wetsuit manufacturer did some custom alterations to the neck of Swain's suit, providing the swimmer much-needed relief. "We're off into custom suit territory now. They're great. They'll do absolutely anything."
Swain has about 150 miles left before he reaches the Pacific Ocean west of Astoria. He began his swim on June 4, 2002, at the river's headwaters in Canal Flats, B.C. He will be the first person ever to swim the entire 1,243-mile length of the Columbia River.
"I set out to put the river in the public eye and I feel like I've succeeded in that," Swain said. He is swimming the Columbia to raise awareness about cleaning up the river and restoring it to its natural, free-flowing state.
During the past year, he's met more than 13,000 people living along the river, and talked to more than 8,000 school kids.
"So far, I haven't met anybody who doesn't want a clean, free-flowing river," Swain said. "Everybody loves the river." Swain's quest for the river will continue after he's done with his swim — although he intends to "go home, be a dad and keep my head down for a while." But he promised every school group he met with that he would return next year, and he plans to keep his promise — and continue being a "champion" for the river.
"The kids can do much more than I can by just bugging their parents," he said. "Kids aren't wondering if they want clean water, they want clean water."
Swain also has come to realize that the diverse groups of people who use the river — from hunters, fishermen and jetskiers to windsurfers and kiteboarders — need to come together as allies.
"We should be careful to avoid entrenchments," he said. "Don't get stuck in the politics of it." When it comes to the river, "you're all on the same page," Swain said.
"I think we've got to look out for our natural allies and make friends," he added. "That's when it's going to happen."
Aside from getting his wetsuit altered, Swain said it was nice to swim through Hood River and see "people actually using and enjoying the river."
"It's important we have a presence on the river," he said. "Every time we windsurf, kiteboard and swim in the Columbia, it's a small act of taking back the river."

Erectile Dysfunction National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse What is erectile dysfunction (ED)? U.S. Department of Health and Human Services NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH ED is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. ED can be a total inability to achieve an erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. ED is sometimes called impotence, but that word is being used less often so that it will not be confused with other, nonmedical meanings of the term. The National Institutes of Health estimates that ED affects as many as 30 million men in the United States.1 Incidence increases with age: About 4 percent of men in their 50s and nearly 17 percent of men in their 60s experi ence a total inability to achieve an erection. The incidence jumps to 47 percent for men older than 75.2 But ED is not an inevitable part of aging. ED is treatable at any age. An erection begins with sensory or mental stimulation, or both. Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the cor pora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in through the arteries and fill the spaces. The blood creates pressure in the corpora caver nosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining the erection. The erection ends when muscles in the penis contract to stop the inflow of blood and open the veins for blood outflow. Figure 1. Arteries and veins of the penis Arteries Corpus spongiosum How does an erection occur? Two chambers called the corpora cavernosa run the length of the penis (see Figure 1). A spongy tissue fills the chambers. The corpora cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane, called the tunica albuginea. The spongy tis sue contains smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The urethra, which is the channel for urine and ejaculate, runs along the underside of the corpora cavernosa and is surrounded by the corpus spongiosum. 1National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference. NIH Consensus Development Panel on Impotence. Impotence. Journal of the American Medical Association. 1993;270:83–90. 2Saigal CS, Wessells H, Wilt T. Predictors and prevalence of erectile dysfunction in a racially diverse population. Archives of Internal Medicine. 2006;166:207–212. Corpora cavernosa Veins Corpora cavernosa Corpus spongiosum Arteries (top) and veins (bottom) penetrate the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum. An erection occurs when relaxed muscles allow the corpora cavernosa to fill with excess blood fed by the arteries, while drainage of blood through the veins is blocked by the tunica albuginea.
What causes ED? ED usually has a physical cause, such as disease, injury, or side effects of drugs. Any disorder that causes injury to the nerves or impairs blood flow in the penis has the poten tial to cause ED. Because an erection requires a precise sequence of events, ED can occur when any of the events is disrupted. The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa. Damage to nerves, arteries, smooth muscles, and fibrous tissues, often as a result of disease, is the most common cause of ED. Diseases— such as diabetes, high blood pressure, nerve disease or nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, and heart disease—account for the majority of ED cases. Patients should be thoroughly evaluated for these conditions before they begin any form of treatment for ED. Lifestyle choices that contribute to heart disease and vascular problems also raise the risk of ED. Smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, being overweight, and not exercising are possible causes of ED. Surgery—especially radical prostate and blad der surgery for cancer—can also injure nerves and arteries near the penis, causing ED. Injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder, and pelvis can lead to ED by harming nerves, smooth muscles, arteries, and the fibrous tissues of the corpora cavernosa. In addition, ED can be a side effect of many common medicines such as blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tran quilizers, appetite suppressants, and cimeti dine, an ulcer drug. 2 Erectile Dysfunction Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, and fear of sexual failure can also cause ED. Even when ED has a physical cause, psychological factors may make the condition worse. Hormonal abnormalities, such as low levels of testosterone, are a less frequent cause of ED. How is ED diagnosed? Patient History A person's medical and sexual histories help define the degree and nature of ED. The medical history can disclose diseases that lead to ED, and a simple recounting of sexual activ ity might identify problems with sexual desire, erection, ejaculation, or orgasm. Use of certain prescription or illegal drugs can suggest a chemical cause because drug effects are a frequent cause of ED. Physical Examination A physical examination can give clues to systemic problems. For example, if the penis is not sensitive to physical touch, a problem in the nervous system may be the cause. Abnor mal secondary sex characteristics, such as unusual hair pattern or breast enlargement, can point to hormonal problems, which would mean the endocrine system is involved. The doctor might discover a circulatory problem by observing decreased pulses in the wrist or ankles. And unusual characteristics of the penis itself could suggest the source of the problem—for example, a penis that bends or curves when erect could be the result of Peyronie's disease.
Laboratory Tests Several laboratory tests can help diagnose ED. Tests for systemic diseases include blood counts, urinalysis, lipid profile, and measure ments of creatinine and liver enzymes. Mea suring the amount of available testosterone in the blood can yield information about problems with the endocrine system and may explain why a patient has decreased sexual desire. Other Tests Monitoring erections that occur during sleep— nocturnal erections—can help rule out certain psychological causes of ED. Healthy men have involuntary erections during sleep. If noctur nal erections do not occur, then ED is likely to have a physical rather than a psychological cause. Tests for nocturnal erections are not completely reliable, however. Scientists have not standardized such tests and have not deter mined when they should be conducted for best results. Psychosocial Examination A psychosocial examination, using an interview and a questionnaire, can reveal psychologi cal factors. A man's sexual partner may also be interviewed to determine expectations and perceptions during sexual intercourse. How is ED treated? Most doctors suggest that treatments pro ceed from least to most invasive. Making a few healthy lifestyle changes may solve the problem. Quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, losing excess weight, and increas ing physical activity may help some men regain sexual function. Cutting back on or replacing medicines that could be causing ED is considered next. For example, if a patient thinks a particular blood pressure medicine is causing problems with erection, he should tell his doctor and ask whether he can try a different class of blood pressure medicine. 3 Erectile Dysfunction Psychotherapy and behavior modifications in selected patients are considered next if indi cated, followed by oral or locally injected drugs, vacuum devices, and surgically implanted devices. In rare cases, surgery involving veins or arteries may be considered. Psychotherapy Experts often treat psychologically based ED using techniques that decrease the anxiety asso ciated with intercourse. The patient's partner can help with the techniques, which include gradual development of intimacy and stimula tion. Such techniques also can help relieve anxiety during treatment for ED from physical causes. Drug Therapy Drugs for treating ED can be taken orally, injected directly into the penis, or inserted into the urethra at the tip of the penis. Oral Medications In March 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved sildenafil (Viagra), the first pill to treat ED. Since that time, vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) have also been approved. Additional oral medicines are being tested for safety and effectiveness. Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis all belong to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors. Taken an hour before sexual activ ity, these drugs work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation and allows increased blood flow. The recommended dose for Viagra is 50 mil ligrams (mg), and the doctor may adjust this dose to 100 mg or 25 mg, depending on the patient. The recommended dose for either Levitra or Cialis is 10 mg, and the doctor may adjust this dose to 20 mg if 10 mg is insufficient. Lower doses of 5 mg and 2.5 mg are available for patients who take other medicines or have conditions that may decrease the body's ability to use the drug. The 5 mg and 2.5 mg doses of Cialis are FDA-approved for daily use.
None of these PDE inhibitors should be used more than once a day. Men who take nitratebased drugs such as nitroglycerin pills for heart problems should not use any of the three drugs because the combination can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure. Also, men should tell their doctor if they take any drugs called alpha-blockers, which are used to treat pros tate enlargement or high blood pressure. The doctor may need to adjust the ED prescription. Taking a PDE inhibitor and an alpha-blocker within 4 hours of each other can cause a sud den drop in blood pressure. A small number of men have experienced vision or hearing loss after taking a PDE inhibitor. Men who experi ence vision or hearing loss should seek prompt medical attention. A system for inserting a pellet of alprostadil into the urethra uses a prefilled applicator to deliver the pellet about an inch into the urethra. The pellet form of alprostadil is mar keted as MUSE. An erection will begin within 8 to 10 minutes and may last 30 to 60 minutes. The most common side effects are aching in the penis, testicles, and area between the penis and rectum; a warm or burning sensation in the urethra; redness from increased blood flow to the penis; and minor urethral bleeding or spotting. Oral testosterone can reduce ED in some men with low levels of natural testosterone, but it is often ineffective and may cause liver dam age. Patients also have claimed that other oral drugs—including yohimbine hydrochlo ride, dopamine and serotonin agonists, and trazodone—are effective, but the results of sci entific studies to substantiate these claims have been inconsistent. Improvements observed following use of these drugs may be examples of the placebo effect—that is, a change that results simply from the patient's belief that an improvement will occur. Mechanical vacuum devices cause an erec tion by creating a partial vacuum, which draws blood into the corpora cavernosa, engorging and expanding the penis. The devices have three components: a plastic cylinder, into which the penis is placed; a pump, which draws air out of the cylinder; and an elastic ring, which is moved from the end of the cylinder to the base of the penis as the cylinder is removed. The elastic ring maintains the erection during intercourse by preventing blood from flowing back into the body (see Figure 2). The elas tic ring can remain in place up to 30 minutes. The ring should be removed after that time to restore normal circulation and to avoid skin irritation. Injectable Medications While oral medicines improve the response to sexual stimulation, they do not trigger an automatic erection as injections do. Many men achieve stronger erections by injecting drugs into the penis, causing it to become engorged with blood. Drugs such as papaverine hydro chloride, phentolamine, and alprostadil widen blood vessels. The injectable form of alpros tadil is marketed as Caverject. These drugs may create unwanted side effects, however, including scarring of the penis and persistent erection, known as priapism. Nitroglycerin ointment, a muscle relaxant, can sometimes enhance an erection when rubbed on the penis. 4 Erectile Dysfunction Research on drugs for treating ED is expanding rapidly. Patients should ask their doctor about the latest advances. Vacuum Devices Couples may find that using a vacuum device requires some practice or adjustment. An erection achieved with a vacuum device may not feel like an erection achieved naturally. The penis may feel cold or numb and have a purple color. Bruising on the shaft of the penis may occur, but the bruises are usually painless and disappear in a few days. Ejaculation may be weakened because the elastic ring blocks some of the semen from traveling through the urethra, but the pleasure of orgasm is usually not affected.
Figure 2. Vacuum device Elastic ring Pump Pump A vacuum device causes an erection by creating a partial vacuum around the penis, which draws blood into the corpora cavernosa. to a fluid reservoir and a pump, which are also surgically implanted. The patient inflates the cylinders by pressing on the small pump, located under the skin in the scrotum. The pump causes fluid to flow from a reservoir residing in the lower pelvis to two cylinders residing in the penis. Inflatable implants can expand the length and width of the penis to some degree. They also leave the penis in a more natural state than malleable implants do when not inflated. Once a man has either a malleable or inflatable implant, he must use the device to have an erection. Possible problems with implants include mechanical breakdown and infection, although mechanical problems have decreased in recent years because of technological advances. Figure 3. Surgical implant Fluid reservoir Surgery Surgery usually has one of three goals: • to implant a device that can cause the penis to become erect • to reconstruct arteries to increase blood flow to the penis • to block off veins that allow blood to leak from the penile tissues Implanted devices, known as prostheses, can restore erection in many men with ED. Malleable implants usually consist of paired rods, which are inserted surgically into the corpora cavernosa. The user manually adjusts the position of the penis and, therefore, the rods. Adjustment does not affect the width or length of the penis. Inflatable implants consist of paired cylinders, which are surgically inserted inside the penis and can be expanded using pressurized fluid (see Figure 3). Tubes connect the cylinders 5 Erectile Dysfunction Inflatable rods Pump Penis Testes With an inflatable implant, an erection is produced by squeezing a small pump implanted in the scrotum. The cylinders expand to create the erection.
Surgery to repair arteries can reduce ED caused by obstructions that block the flow of blood. The best candidates for such surgery are young men with discrete blockage of an artery because of an injury to the groin or fracture of the pelvis. The procedure is usually unsuccessful in older men with widespread blockage. Surgery to veins that allow blood to leave the penis usually involves an opposite procedure— intentional blockage. Blocking off veins, called ligation, can reduce the leakage of blood that diminishes the rigidity of the penis during an erection. However, experts have raised ques tions about the long-term effectiveness of this procedure, and it is rarely done. Points to Remember • Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. • ED affects as many as 30 million American men. • ED is usually associated with a medi cal condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, nerve disease or nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, athero sclerosis, and heart disease. Patients should be thoroughly evaluated for these conditions before they begin any form of treatment for ED. • Lifestyle choices that contribute to heart disease and vascular problems also raise the risk of ED. Smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, being overweight, and not exercising are possible causes of ED. • ED is treatable at all ages. • Treatments include lifestyle and medi cation changes, psychotherapy, drug therapy, vacuum devices, and surgery. 6 Erectile Dysfunction
Hope through Research For More Information Advances in suppositories, injectable medications, implants, and vacuum devices have expanded the options for men seeking treatment for ED. These advances have also helped increase the number of men seeking treatment. Gene therapy for ED is now being tested in several centers and may offer a long-lasting therapeutic approach for ED.

Animals as Guides for the Soul: Stories of Life-changing Encounters
Ballantine Publishing Group, 1998 - Self-Help - 291 pages
In her New York Times bestseller Animals as Teachers and Healers, Susan Chernak McElroy movingly explored the wide and enriching horizons of human relationships with animals. In this new volume of reflections and true animal stories, she invites us to broaden and deepen that relationship.
While living with her husband and animals on a farm in Oregon, McElroy pondered the ancient bonds that connect humans and animals: the healing gifts of animals, the genius of people who talk to them, and the power of animal messengers. She also asked herself the tough questions that engage every true animal lover. How can we soothe our anguish and guilt when a loved animal suffers or dies? How do we atone for our mistakes? When are animals prisoners and when are they fulfilled? Is it moral to eat other beings? And how can we go about transforming our relationship with animals?
Through daily experiences with the animals around her and those in her dreams--along with compelling true stories sent to her by readers--McElroy began to find answers. She discovered that animals are guides in the development of our souls. A frail llama teaches lessons of joy and unconditional love; a barn cat proves that service need not be imprisonment but fulfillment; a mortally injured hawk infuses a cancer patient with renewed strength and faith; an attentive rabbit awakens an abused child from a trance of sadness; and a skinny white horse does more for a damaged six-year-old boy in one hour than any human has done in six years.
In this deeply personal yet universal testament to the profound connection between animals and humans, there is wisdom and blessing. As the author reminds us, the fingerprint of God isoften a pawprint.

While farming the emerald whelp I was reminded of a post where a player had stated with all the tiny fangs, femurs, sacs and scales they had looted during their farm, they could have Built an emerald whelp.
This got me thinking.
Wouldn't it be neat if maybe Leatherworkers could get a pattern for a Frankenwhelp?
It could use 3-6 different kinds of leather and scales, primal/essence/volatile or combo thereof of Life, tiny dragon teeth, venom or flame sacs, dragon femurs, I mean this thing would take a ton of mats. I don't mean 53 of each mat, just maybe 53 different things. The pattern itself would have to be a rare drop, probably off a raid boss.
Can you imagine? Same model as the whelps we love, just a mix of them all. maybe one red wing, one green, black tail with a blue head, body a mixture of the four with clear stitching throughout it.
It could be called Frankie, but would it be classified as undead, dragonkin, or magic?
What abilities would it have?
Could it come in a different arrangement of skins?
-for example, I make one, it has red and blue wings. I make another and it has black and red wings.
I like this so much I want to post it in the suggestions forum, but I'd like to hear my fellow collector's opinions first.
If this is not the correct forum for this post, please forgive me, it looked like the right place.

NHGRI continuously reviews priorities within the large-scale sequencing program in response to scientific need, the changing state of the science, and changing technologies and sequencing costs. Please see Process for Selecting New Sequencing Targets at The NHGRI Genome Sequencing Program (GSP) for a description of the prioritization process.
March 2007
In February 2007, NHGRI together with the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR) reviewed general priorities for approved sequencing targets. The resulting prioritization will help guide the selection of new sequencing targets going forward.
It is important to note that NHGRI will continue to consider new sequencing targets in all of the categories below. However, the prioritization does reflect the overall degree of enthusiasm with which NHGRI will approach future proposals for new sequencing targets.
Finally, NHGRI recognizes that a major factor in determining the actual order in which approved targets are entered into sequencing pipelines is the availability of samples. Often this factor will result in a lower priority target being done ahead of a higher priority one.
Bin 1: Programs related to medical sequencing are the most immediate priority for the NHGRI centers. These include The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) [cancergenome.nih.gov], Genes, Environment and Health Initiative (GEI), and all projects that fall under the medical sequencing program.
Bin 2: Programs and sequencing projects that have a high degree of relevance for human health or annotating the human genome are high priority. These include the Survey of Human Structural Variation, Pathogens and Vectors, 2X coverage of mammals, Primate genomes and Sequencing of Reference Genomes of Human Microbiotas.
Y-chromosome resequencing and refinement of draft genomes are also in this priority bin.
Bin 3: Other projects that have relevance to annotation of the human genome, basic metazoan development, and basic population genetics have less immediate priority. These projects include components of Evolution of the Human Proteome (Coelacanth, Skate or Elephant Shark, and Hagfish), Origins of Multicellularity, and Population Genomics of Yeast.
Bin 4: NHGRI will maintain a commitment to other projects that have been approved such as draft coverage of mammals already sequenced to 2X depth, remaining components of Evolution of the Human Proteome (Turtle, Gar and a second Chondrichthyan), and miscellaneous individual species.

Keeping up with the most up-to-date trends can turn your wedding into the most unforgettable time of your whole existence.
As every single year gets ahead of, it carries with it a novel trend in wedding ceremony. By way of the varying state most couples choose for adjoining fresh components to the wedding ceremony, more willingly than abiding by a custom. The dawn of the year 2013 takes along a number of the most recent trends in wedding ceremony for persons who are doing some arrangement to finally tie the knot this time of the year.
Wishy-washy palettes
2013 is the time of moving in the direction of sophistication. Previous periods have exposed the usage of lively hues in bridal linens. On the other hand, this year the newest development is to utilize soft tones such as blush, cream, mint, drab shades bridal linens for decoration. The typical appearance is the newest modern scheme for the year 2013. Bridal rental materials are embracing this development for every single wedding occasion held.
Usage of metals
Metals similar to brass are copper and the newest trends that enhance more classiness and physical attractiveness to the neutral and subtle hues of bridal linens. Brass, copper, silver, or gold chandeliers, candle stands, tableware as well as a classic look to the decoration. All nuptial rental materials are tailing this development for 2013.
One more development this time is the custom of ostrich and peacock feathers to adorn the visitor tables. Bridal rentals offer materials of these lovely feathers in a number of colours and designs. The usage of feathers boosts up the design and enhances the class to it.
