A hyperbolic dispersion medium with a planar surface that can be used for subwavelength focusing is proposed. By combining the hyperbolic medium in a single slit with diffraction limit width, a laser beam could be focused to a subwavelength spot in the near field. Compared to a conventional superlens, the subdiffraction focusing in this work has higher optical throughput. Using a planar hyperbolic medium, which is actually alternating silver/dielectric multilayers, we showed that the focusing resolution of the designed device is down to using green light illumination (at a wavelength of ).

ARLINGTON, Texas — Sometimes a pitcher looks great warming up and flops once he gets into the game.
When that happens, his manager or his pitching coach-or both-invariably will say, "He just failed to carry his good stuff to the mound with him."
ARLINGTON, Texas — Sometimes a pitcher looks great warming up and flops once he gets into the game.
When that happens, his manager or his pitching coach-or both-invariably will say, "He just failed to carry his good stuff to the mound with him."
Seattle reliever Norm Charlton didn't appear to have that problem against the White Sox last week.
While warming up for a ninth-inning save opportunity Tuesday night, Charlton threw four consecutive spitballs in the bullpen. He went to his mouth and wet his fingers unabashedly before each pitch.
Nothing wrong with that. The spitter is as legal as any pitch in the bullpen.
But it sure looked as if Charlton carried that good stuff to the mound with him. At least, Sox manager Gene Lamont thought so.
Charlton came in to protect a 4-1 lead and promptly fell into trouble. He got one out, then gave up a single to Lance Johnson and a home run to Frank Thomas to make it a 4-3 game.
Immediately after that home run, though, Charlton's "forkball" suddenly came to life. He threw a series of pitches that dropped wickedly just as they reached the plate.
Neither George Bell nor Robin Ventura could handle the pitch. Both struck out to end the game, and Charlton picked up his seventh save. But not before Lamont asked plate umpire Tim McClelland to check the ball.
"I thought he went to his mouth and didn't wipe it off," Lamont said. "I just asked McClelland to check him."
McClelland did. And nothing came of it.
Lamont would just as soon not talk about the incident. All it can do is get his hitters worrying too much about a spitball the next time they face Charlton.
That is precisely what Charlton thinks happened after Lamont asked McClelland to check the ball.
"I started the inning with two pitches: a fastball and a forkball," Charlton said. "I'd like to thank Gene Lamont for giving me that third pitch. Now he's put that idea in the minds of all his hitters."
Then, again, maybe it isn't only in their minds.
Good company: It took a little longer than he hoped, but George Brett finally hit the 300th home run of his career Thursday. Brett started the season with 298 homers and finally reached his milestone two days before his 40th birthday. He joined Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Carl Yastrzemski, Willie Mays and Al Kaline among the elite circle of players with at least 3,000 hits and 300 homers.
Mystery guest: Brett, a career .307 in 20 seasons with the Royals, was batting .226 before getting hot last week.
"I don't think it's any secret I've been struggling lately," he said. "Then I had a walk my first at-bat, a hit in my second at-bat, a hit in my third at-bat. You begin thinking, `Gee, who's this impostor in my body?' "
Trouble brewing: Milwaukee General Manager Sal Bando said last week baseball's proposed television package could be the "final nail in the coffin" for his team. And the speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly says he is worried Bando could be right.
"I don't think (Brewers officials) are crying wolf," said Speaker Walter Kunicki (D-Milwaukee), who offered to help work on a state assistance plan if one is necessary to keep the team in Milwaukee. Gov. Tommy Thompson joined the bandwagon Thursday with a statement supporting the Brewers.
"They're Wisconsin's team and we'll work to keep them here," he said. "I think we can sit down and work out any solutions to the problem and move on."
Hurting: Another rough week on the medical front for some big-name players. Yankees first baseman Don Mattingly strained a muscle in his lower left rib cage on a checked swing and is expected to be out at least two weeks. . . . Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams also went on the DL. . . . So did Nolan Ryan, for the second time this year, and Cleveland pitcher Ted Power. . . . Minnesota shortstop Scott Leius finally gave up and agreed to have surgery on his right rotator cuff. He hadn't played since April 21 and now is out for the season. . . . Toronto shortstop Dick Schofield is out for the year, too, with a broken forearm after a collision with Detroit's Milt Cuyler. Schofield smashed his left arm on Cuyler's helmet and broke it so badly surgeons had to insert six screws and a metal plate and give Schofield a bone graft from his hip.
Healing: The loss of Schofield was a blow to the Blue Jays, who are struggling to catch the front-runners in the American League East. But the Jays got a boost Thursday night when Dave Stewart came off the disabled list and made his Toronto debut. Stewart had been on the disabled list since spring training with a torn flexor muscle in his right elbow. He worked 3 2/3 innings, giving up three hits and two walks. He struck out three and was lifted after reaching his 65-pitch limit.
Iron men: Seventy-five years ago Saturday-May 15, 1918-Lefty Williams of the White Sox pitched 18 innings and lost 1-0 to the Washington Senators. The winning pitcher was Walter Johnson, who also went the distance.

Moving day is getting closer! It's about time. The past few weeks have been very busy and hectic. Amidst all of this I want to share a poem I received from Rylinn for Mother's Day several years ago. I have kept it on my refrigerator for the past few years and every time I feel overwhelmed it reminds me just how blessed I am!!!
(This prayer has circulated around the Internet for the past several years.)
Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes;
we have plenty of food to eat.
Thank you for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry;
we have plenty of good clothes to wear.
And I would like to thank you, Lord, for those unmade beds;
they were so warm and comfortable last night.
I know that many have no bed.
My thanks to you, Lord, for this bathroom,
complete with all the splattered mirrors,
soggy, grimy towels, and dirty sink;
they are so convenient.
Thank you for this finger-smudged refrigerator
that needs cleaning inside and out.
It has served us faithfully for many years
and has enough food in it for several meals.
Thank you, Lord for this oven that absolutely must be cleaned today.
It has baked so many things over the years.
The whole family is grateful for that tall grass that needs mowing
and the lawn that needs raking;
we all enjoy the yard.
Thank you, Lord, even for that slamming door;
my kids are healthy and able to run and play.
Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me
says that you have richly blessed my family.
I shall do them cheerfully and I shall do them gratefully.

Description from Amazon UK:New Adult Romance - recommended for readers 18+ yrs due to sex & language
Sensuality level in this book is high.
This is a college-set romance. The hero is not tattooed or irrevocably damaged and the heroine has not been physically or emotionally abused. There are many good books out there like that in this genre. This is not such a book.
An ex is an ex for a reason
To Rebecca Winters, it's not just a saying or the title to a catchy tune, it's a rule she staunchly lives by. Especially since the break up with herex. What's the point in trying to fix the "unfixable"? Besides, only a girl hell-bent on more heartbreak would go back to the guy who bailed on her when she needed him most. But saying no to Scott is becoming more difficult than surviving the breakup itself. And unfortunately for her, the kind of pressure he's exerting is making her rule all too easy to break.
Scott Carver has given up trying to get over his ex. He's still in love with her and their year apart has done nothing to change that. Yeah, he knows he screwed up. Just how royally, he wasn't aware of until now. So when Becca agrees to give him a second chance, he grabs on to it with both hands. But it's clear the only way things will ever truly be right between them is if he comes clean...about everything. He can only pray the truth doesn't send her running--for good this time.
Rating: 3.5 stars!
I really enjoyed this book, it was a really good story with a hella lot of emotional journey. Both main characters are confident and independent, definitely got the sizzling electric connection between the two yet they have not reveal their skeleton inside their closet towards each other. *cue in the drama!*
Although it is a novella, i thought i could adapt to the story from the first chapter, and i haven't read the first book yet (i will soon). The prose was written quite good, and the characterisation was realistic. I have suspected the conflict from earlier on, with the hints of the dual POV (point of view), BUT Scott's problem was unexpected. i didn't saw that coming!
He fought his devil and what a change it was! it reminded me to not judge people, some people could be an extremely different than they used to be or what they appear to be.
Scott and Rebecca had already broke up in the beginning of this book. (it was for a very sensitive reason), but Scott's understanding of the break up was different than Rebecca, and he want her back. Then begin the adventure of courting her back to convince he is a better person now.
Scott is an admirable hero, he took care of Rebecca even when she is stubborn and he don't drink or do drugs! Of course there's the matter of his physical sexiness,
but lets focus on characteristics first people~ ;D
Scott the good boy is actually a man with many mystery, even Rebecca his girlfriend for a year did not know them. Through the journey, he learnt to let go and trust Rebecca. Thus, the truth shall let him free!
Rebecca is a nice, confident girl who like to have fun with her friend. She is set to not be ruled by her past, but when the history ALMOST repeat itself, it's totally understandable for her to press that panic button before it's all gone messy. It seems to me she can't think straight when it comes to Scott, she went a bit indecisive, weak knees, and barely communicative it's almost an eyerolling situation. Like Scott, Rebecca went through a journey, and the stubborn gal that she is, of course she won't make it easy for Scott to get her good side. So she ask him to play the little baby turtle steps. It was a bit torture for Scott but from it all she learnt to let live and be happy girl!
It was a beautiful ending. *teary eyed* I can't wait to read the series!!

It's an excellent tool to perform overall tonal adjustments, and some color correction. Auto Levels is considered a quick fix color adjustment which, in some cases, works just as well as manually correcting color. However, with all the problems that exist in the average photo, it's always best to manually adjust an image. Since the Auto Levels command relies on information contained within the image—information that is sometimes inaccurate—it's usually best to correct the image manually using the Levels Adjustment command.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Projects to capture industrial emissions and store them in the earth's crust could cut CO2 pollution by up to 40 percent, according to officials from oil major Shell.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) — gathering CO2 emissions at their source and pumping them underground — faces steep cost hurdles, but may someday be worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year, a Shell executive said.
"CCS is probably the largest source of potential carbon reduction for the next 30 years, and a way to deal with 30 to 40 percent of (global) emissions," said Kimberly Corley, Shell senior advisor for CO2 and environmental affairs.
The technology is now used from Texas to Algeria to pump CO2 into oil and gas reservoirs, pressurizing them to increase output. But Shell is betting on becoming an industry leader in storing its own and other companies' carbon emissions to tap into financial perks given for lowering emissions.
The company already has seven test-phase CCS projects underway and is looking to fund future projects through lucrative carbon credits.
"We think (CCS) is one of the few technologies that has the potential to become very big," said Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer, in a conference call with reporters Thursday.
Costs are a drawback due to the difficulty of trapping emissions as they spew from coal or oil-burning plants.
Building CCS projects now would cost Shell around $2 billion for each million tons a year of emissions, Corley said. The U.S. emits around 7 billion tons a year.
"No one knows the cost if you start to do it on a large scale," Van der Veer said.
Aggressive deployment of CCS could mean a billion tons of CO2 are stored by Shell and others annually by 2025, generating $50 billion, said David Hone, Shell's climate advisor.
CCS hinges on financial rewards for emissions reduction, including cap and trade programs, which Shell supports.
The Obama administration is pushing climate legislation, including cap and trade, to generate $650 billion between 2012 and 2019 and cut emissions by 14 percent.
Policy makers will gather in December in Copenhagen to discuss a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, the global emissions reduction framework that expires in 2012.
The United States isn't a signatory to Kyoto.
Shell's plans include one to pump CO2 from its Pernis oil refinery near Rotterdam into spent gas reservoirs underneath a nearby town, which Corley expects to go ahead soon.
CCS critics say there's no guarantee that emissions will stay underground, and leaks pose dangers.
"We think we can do it safely," CEO Van der Veer said.
Shell's first commercial CCS project, worth more than $2 billion, is under feasibility study at the Athabasca oilsands project in Alberta, Canada. The project, known as Quest, would be led by Shell and include Chevron and Marathon. No deadline is set for an investment decision.

This is probably the most frequently asked question, and there is no easy answer, so the best place to start is at the begining. Unfortunately, unlike our age that keeps going up, the value of an antique or collectable item will vary and can go up or down. Talk to any serious collector and you will find that a major part of the fun is actually finding out the background, including price, and researching into the item.
Antique or Collectable
When is a collectable an antique?
The difference between an antique and a collectable is a much discussed subject, so there is little wonder that people are confused about these two terms. The confusion probably arises because the two terms are similar and both characterise an item by something other than its physical attributes. Having said that, what is the difference?
The Rarity4u definition is as follows:
An Antique is defined by the age of the item
A Collectable is an item whose value revolves around its utility or aesthetic attributes but has since been enhanced by widespread interest.
The Customs and Excise for most countries define an antique as an item 100 years or more in age. This then sets the rate of tax or duty payable and is perhaps the most important definition. The age can vary from country to country, but the 100 year rule is a good rule of thumb to follow.
Price Guides
The Millers Antiques Price Guide is perhaps the most widely used book to find items and set prices. You will be very lucky if the item you are looking for is exactly the same as the one shown in the book, so you will need to read the description, condition, age, size etc. And compare this with your item.
Local Library and Bookshops
You can always research the old fashioned way by seeing what types of books on collectables are on hand in your local library. Or, make a trip to a large bookstore and see what you can find there. When you are reading collectable guides, remember the prices are often inflated and you may not be able to sell an item for that much. Why? Authors sometimes use erratic auction prices in their valuation averages, which for better or worse, can dramatically skew the results. Values also vary from country to country and from rural to urban areas and different locations within the same country.
Antique & Collectable Magazines
These can cover either general or specific areas of interest. Most magazines show items of interest with prices paid but you can also look at the items For Sale and the items Wanted advertisements. You may be lucky to find the item in which you are interested listed.
Antique & Collectable Fairs
There is a wealth of antique and collectable fairs, flea markets, car boot sales, garage sales and similar. Talk to the sellers, but remember they are there to sell and not to give you free advice.
Collector Clubs
Most collector clubs keep an updated record of current prices for for items in their particular area of collecting. Usually these clubs will ask for a fee or require you to join the club before you can access this information.
Online Auctions
Visiting online auctions to look up past results or logging onto an antique site and searching the inventory for comparison pricing are two more convenient ways of assessing approximate value. You will want to keep in mind that online pricing, especially in auctions, can reflect values far less than dealers tend to ask in brick and mortar shops and at antique shows.
Online Search
Google, Yahoo and MSN are the most popular search engines but ther are many others. Try to find search engines that specialise in antiques and collectables. The search engines will show many results from dealers and online auction houses. Ebay is still the biggest, so be prepared to scan through pages of results.

THE GREAT SANTA BARBARA OIL DISASTER, OR, A DIARY — A Poem by Conyus (Reissued)
Santa Barbara, CA
May 2015
Devastating Photos Show How An Oil Spill Consumed Santa Barbara's Coastline
The oil spill and the food web
By Dan Brennan
30 June 2010

The ecological destruction of the oil disaster in the Gulf is perhaps most aptly embodied in the pictures of brown pelicans made lifeless by a thick coating of toxic sludge. However, the true toll may spread far beyond these dreadful images. Scientists warn that the gravest threat, including possible ecosystem collapse, is posed by the poisoning of organisms at the base of the food chain.

The Great Santa Barbara Oil Disaster, Or: A Diary
a poem by Conyus
Day one
We ride down the coast hwy
through the heavy rain
to a beach that sits in a rocky cove
hidden from the eye.
I sit in the rear of the bus
where the shadows pass
over cold metal walls
& window screens,
looking through dirty glass
at the somber scenery.
A young Mexican girl stands in the muddy debris
of her home, rummaging through the mud.
The river flooded suddenly two days ago
after a torrential rain & shifted the terrain.
Overhead the clouds mount menacingly
in small squalls, prostituting themselves again
against the sky, & we turn left off the freeway
into the spent community of Carpinteria
like a funeral procession on a grey Saturday,
heading to the bone yard in tandem.
Beyond the border of thin sidewalks,
sit bleached out houses on paper stilts
with tattered venetian blinds & curtains
barely moving on the stiff ocean breeze.
We walk beneath the bleeding sky
single file to the oily beach in perfect silence;
everything around us is a chemical foundry.
Day two
The 1st. night
we arrived,
the college girls
in the dormitory
across from us
paraded before
their window in
bras & panties,
being friendly.
The people
came to watch us work,
in hip boots & work gloves,
cleaning oil & shoveling straw.
Some said, "my! don't they look almost human?"
Others said, "a convict is a crime. don't forget that!"
Sometimes the children's ball
bounded in our area,
& the Spanish inmates
soccer kicked it back lightly.
We all laughed
& smiled a lot
the first day.
The sunset & the night
came on slowly.
From out of the night
came gargoyles
with church fathers
& concerned parents
to tell the children
not to play
within the border of red flags
& the fence of thick cane around us.
the sky would fall
& hell would follow,
if they instilled
licentious ambitions
in our minds.
& so
we didn't laugh
anymore, or smile
at all the second day.
From that day forward,
we just worked,
hard & steady,
with our heads
low & our eyes
to the ground,
so the sky
wouldn't fall,
& the people
wouldn't know,
& the world
wouldn't burn.
Day three
All day we work behind the sea breaker
in the black sand, shoveling straw
& thick lumps of oil
into the mouth of the skip loader,
while the cat skinner rides high
in the driver's seat with a hole for his eye.
On the beach,
in the window
of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club,
Black servants watch us
swing picks & shovels
in the wet sand
like machetes
clearing a cane field
on their small island
in the Caribbean.
On a concrete wall
below this Diaspora
i sit & swing my legs over the ice plants
& puddles of oil where sand crabs,
& small fish lie dead
& stinking in the sun.
Beneath my work jacket
i touch the crushed sandwich
of white bread & yellow cheese
& think of the young Chinese girl
in the pink hairnet with braces.
After lunch we return with rakes & hip booths,
wading through the constant tide
of thick oil & grey foam,
to gather balls of sticky oil
stuck between rocks,
& place them in yellow plastic bags.
Along the beach
the tide falls back out to sea,
taking with it the trail of our feet
that follows us like a shadow.
I turn my back to the Santa Barbara Sound
& pull the weather jacket tight
to shield against the cold & damp air.
Over my shoulder,
past the far islands near the horizon,
someone is singing a song,
that i can barely hear,
in a voice
that i cannot recognize.
The 1969 Santa Barbara Oil Spill viewed by satellite
Day four
The children
come down
to the beach
with their dogs
barking happily
at their feet.
They watch us
rake the debris
in huge piles
for the cat skinner
to eat with his shovel.
The surf around us
is a gumbo of sludge, oil,
& dead birds cooking in the sun
& salt air.
The children
blocks of blue ice
into the ocean
to cleanse our sins
& methodically
the night descends
like a curtain.
Day five
The women of Santa Barbara
watch us drag driftwood
across the rocky beach
to the gas chamber at San Quentin.
They protest
against the death sentence
& the inhumanity,
of humanity,
then go home
to husbands
& kill babies
in the morning
with a small pill
while we sleep.
Day six
Green toads
on the black
rain pond.
Dawn opens
with tenderness
from the sky.
A white gull
floats face upward
in the murky surf;
i watch the tide
push the gull
against the rocks,
again & again,
& again & again.
Day seven
Pearl crack
the dawning day
is all about
the tar marred
Favonian winds
gently caresses
a face beaten
by sun & surf.
the sunset on the ocean
& there wasn't
any confusion.
Day eight
The citizens
of Santa Barbara
brought rags
for us to wipe
our oily
black hands on.
They were in small
woven baskets of tule reed
& filled with rags & apples.
I found a red one
& wore it around my neck,
to either
or eat
Day nine
the vacant field
across from us
sing the loudest
late at night
when the oil slick
devours the seacoast
in its murkiness
thick oil
& caskets
Day ten
(Poem to the girl seen walking
below my window at 4:00 a.m.)
I see you there
on the freshly
cut grass
in bare feet.
your decision
to either
or run
the kerosene night.
Day eleven

Day twelve
All these men
were standing
on tiers of confession.
Shouting at each other
from above & below,
across concrete & steel.
About injustice,
lock-up & lock-down.
For many years,
for many many years;
a lifetime of years,
in fact.
They stood
it seemed
hiding & laughing,
laughing & hiding,
the hatred,
the pain,
the sorrow,
the lament,
their chest.
Young men,
in cells
so dark
& lonely
at midnight
that the shadow
cast against the wall
from a bare bulb
at the end of the hall
is their only refuge
from the moans
& muffled cries
that call out
like beacons
Day thirteen
the rain
fell heavily
& the beach
is specked
with piles
of straw & driftwood.
In the afternoon
we throw cans
of gasoline
onto the piles
& watch them
like the happiest
years of our life.
Day fourteen
We pick up the sky
& move the oil slick
like a giant anaconda's
they sit on the beach
watching us.
We place a hot badger's claw
in the cool ashes
near the cat skinner.
They watch & move their lips slowly.
We part the tar-marred sand
& bury ourselves
in a canal of lilies & lilacs.
They turn to face each other
in bewilderment & awe
pretending they don't see us.
Day fifteen
the house
with death
on her arm
putting out
that burn
too low.
Day sixteen
All night you can hear
the ocean cough
& spit-up oil,
like a young child
lying on its back
with pneumonia.
We clear as much phlegm
& muck from its throat as we can,
& mop his sweaty head
with oily red rags.
For thirty miles along the beach
dead bodies of sea mammals
float up & beach themselves like dominoes.
We cut the larger ones up
with chain saws & axes,
& loaded them into the
jaw of the skip loader for the cat skinner.
The rest, left bloated & stinking,
we burn with gasoline & torches
to let the fire free them.
High in the sky turkey vultures soar
above the spiraling smoke
of sweet crude oil clouds,
looking for baby seals
that have suffocated
in the thick water.
When night comes,
walking like a gravedigger,
& we have retired
for the evening,
the dead carcasses
float back out to sea,
& are torn apart
by sharks,
who die
weeks later,
from petroleum poison
along the shore
of Oregon,
& Washington.
Day seventeen
The Chinese girl
served us
the insipid
tasting food at 6:00 a.m.
in plastic gloves
& a pink hairnet
across the stainless steel
The sky
was just beginning
to show traces Aurora
the east,
& the country
its embattled head
in Vietnam.
when the sun
came up
on the beach,
& i was
cleaning oil, tar
& salt spume
from the beach furniture
at the yacht club.
I ate the apple
she had given me
& thought of her
in that Christian white uniform;
so pure & sterile.
that she probably
felt that she was ugly
because she wasn't
Caucasian, light of skin,
& had blue eyes.
& so
when i took
another bowl of corn flakes
& told her that
i didn't want the meat,
do you think,
she understood
that I was
a vegetarian?
loved her.

Day eighteen
The fog is thick
& cutting like a
guard's stare
this Monday dawn.
We board the bus
in the grey light
with backpacks,
baloney sandwiches,
& lasting memories.
The young girls
in the windows
of the dormitory at UCSB
wave goodbye to us in clothes
with big smiles & sadness.
We take seats
next to a window
or aisle, in total silence
& head North out of Santa Barbara
in the wake of working nine to fivers
on a freeway that looked
like a used car lot
in Los Angeles,
spotted with potholes
& spilled oil.
We pass through small towns
on our way North
where old men
sit in bleached overalls
on dusty porches
beneath worn hats,
& hard lives.
Nondescript daughters
in faded dresses
hang work shirts
& thick quilts
in backyards to dry
while old dogs
watch us with regard.
& we pass
like a full moon
before them.
Day nineteen
In Morgan Hill
sitting next to
a fence post
with gray clouds
clipping the mountain
& hawks soaring
above the crest,
reminded me of freedom,
reminded me of home.
Free of oil,
free of tar,
& free.
And so when i sat back
& closed my eyes
i felt like i was dreaming
& i thought that i was free,
& i thought that i was running
& that we all were free.
Day twenty
We're back
at the work camp
in the deep redwood forest.
Behind us is the
oil, thick tar,
& stained beaches
of Santa Barbara.
All the young girls
are already
a distant memory
& before we know it
the days will become years
& the years decades.
We measure time
in years here,
not hours,
nor months
or visits.
Some of us get stored
in cardboard & canvas,
others in cells
& dungeons,
until the next time,
when the fires come,
the earthquake hits,

This celebrated poem, praised by poet Philip Levine for its powerful narrative lyricism, has been newly revised by the author. Conyus, like Levine, is a native-born Detroiter emigrĂ© to California. "The Great Santa Barbara Oil Disaster" was anthologized in Abraham Chapman's New Black Voices (New American Library, 1972) and Daniel Halpern's The American Poetry Anthology: Poets Under 40 (Avon Books, 1975). Recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Creative Writing, Conyus — a former poetry editor at The Black Scholar and the Haight Ashbury Literary Journal — lives and works in San Francisco. "Wormwood," his hilarious short story, appears in POW WOW: Charting the Fault Lines in the American Experience — Short Fiction from Then to Now, edited by Ishmael Reed and Carla Blank (Da Capo Press, 2009).

Wandsworth Council and South Thames College are jointly running this project to improve careers advice and employment support for local young people.
Contact them if you are not sure what to do next. There are many ways to get your career going and you might be surprised at the range of jobs, apprenticeships and training on offer.
You can speak to one of their dedicated team to talk through your options.
Or drop in to South Thames College's Merton, Tooting or Wandsworth Campuses from to speak to an education advisor. Thursday 24 August to Friday 8 September 2017
London Ambitions aims to raise aspirations and make young people more employable. It was created by London Councils, representing all the capital's boroughs, in partnership with the Mayor of London and the London Enterprise Panel. Wandsworth was the first London borough to put it into practice.
The new careers cluster means the council and South Thames College will work with local employers, universities and schools to create careers sessions that help students make the right decision about what to do after they leave school – whether that's further education, training and apprenticeships or employment

(ESL Songs: Moanin` Mike Littlewood performs live at Spats in Odawara, Kanagawa)
Littlewood is a professional musician, a guitar teacher and an English teacher in Japan.
Songs bring joy to your classroom. Whether they are simply pop songs that your students enjoy and you have them do a listening/close activity (fill in the blank with the missing song lyric) or songs specifically for ESL, they both bring smiles to the faces of your students.
by Kevin R Burns
Some students like to sing. Others simply enjoy listening to them. I have been taking guitar lessons again with a very good teacher named
Michael Littlewood
(his video above) in Odawara. My goal is to play songs in the classroom, and increase the student`s listening comprehension. But perhaps more importantly, have fun with my students. They have been through so much drudgery and boring study, that I feel it is very important to have fun classes. Some teachers manage to make even ESL boring! I find it hard to believe too! In their defence, they are often told how and what to teach, so do not have much choice of their curriculum and how it is taught.
Comedian turns into Funny English Teacher
I studied Theatre and comedy writing and performing in Vancouver.
I also studied improvisational theatre (Theatre Sports).
In my late 20s, I started the forerunner of the Tokyo Comedy Store (Tokyo Comedy Club), and I performed at Yuk Yuk`s and Punchlines and UBC in Canada many times. My act was stand up coupled with comedy songs. I have since used that same skill to write songs that students find funny. If you are a natural comedian (can make your friends laugh when they are not inebriated), you too can write funny ESL songs!
If you are funny and play an instrument or would like to learn one. Once you get good enough, I encourage you to take it into the classroom and "wow" your students.
Believe it or not, there are teachers who are highly skilled musicians, who never play their instrument for their students.
I ask: If your goal is to be the best teacher you can be, and bring out all the stops (all your skills), why would you not use your musical skill for teaching ESL?
How Do Good ESL Songs for Kids Help Teachers?
by Cheema Beckham
"If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers."
- Edgar W. Howe
Children definitely give a very tough time to their parents, especially mothers. Being a father myself, I know how tough it is to teach them once they are in a mood to play; and unfortunately they are in a playing mood most of the time.
When it comes to teaching English as a Secondary Language (ESL) to kids, the story is no different; however I have found an easy solution for this. Some good songs for kids always come handy in keeping them focused towards learning while enjoying and amusing them.
Good songs for kids vary from basic nursery rhymes to somewhat advanced songs, and can keep your kids occupied, irrespective of their ages. Although there are some CDs available for teaching these songs and you can buy them for a few dollars.
At the same time, you can find hundreds of different free ESL ditties for kids on the internet. Various ESL websites offer a variety of songs and rhymes for kids.
These songs are primarily aimed at improving the comprehension and vocabulary for young lads, but at the same time they enhance other linguistic skills. Young children can only start learning by repeating the words again and again.
These songs play a vital role in helping them achieve this and still making this repetition fun. By hearing and singing them over and over, they engage in vocabulary acquisition, language learning and comprehension enrichment.
Most of the time, these songs are also augmented with ESL flash cards, work sheets, and classroom games to compliment the learning module. Together these teaching aids help the ESL teachers in their profession and make things easier for them.
You can find different and worthwhile lists of ESL kids songs on the websites mentioned below:-
• ESL-Kids
• English For Children
• KIDiddles
• Music English Lessons
• Songs for Teaching
• Simple Songs
• ESL Classics
• Super Simple Songs
Super Simple Songs - Teaching ESL to Children
The best thing about these songs is that they have very interesting and strong melodies. You will see your kids singing these songs throughout the day and learn new words in the process.
One of the dilemmas with ESL songs is that some of them have too much vocabulary and language for basic ESL learners. This crisis exists, because these songs were primarily conceived for native learners. Thus while teaching these songs to the children, it must be kept in mind, and the most basic songs should be taught first.

THE Christmas party season is upon us and there's no better time to spoil yourself. And while looking after your nails may seem like a minute detail when you have the dress, accessories, hair and make-up to worry about, our hands are one of the most expressive parts of our body and constantly draw a lot of attention.
The state of your nails can say a lot about a person so it is important to keep them well groomed and nail art is one of the newest and most fashionable ways to make a style statement.
But with so many looks and techniques on the market it can be hard to know which will suit you and your lifestyle best.
Real sent Lauren Hirst to try out four different party nails to discover which passed the party proof test.
The paint job: File and Polish.
Before the world went nail art crazy, you could nip into your nearest salon and have a 15 minute manicure to revitalise your nails. This is the cheapest option on offer but although this may appear purse friendly at first sight, in reality, this is far from the truth.
A file and polish only lasts around five days – nowhere near as long as other nail techniques on offer.
Effective and simple and for anyone who has a longer to-do list than Father Christmas, a file and polish takes no time at all
Only lasted five days before wear began to show at the tip of the nail
The wonder product: Shellac.
Shellac is the new revolutionary nail product which miraculously lasts up to 14 days without losing any shine. It is essentially a gel nail polish that is painted straight onto the nail and dries hard like a fake nail.
Storming on to the nail scene in 2010, Shellac's claim to fame is that it is scratch-resistant and smudge proof. Sceptical? Well, maybe a little.
No drying time – as soon as the final top coat is applied it is instantly hard as rock.
The rumours are true. It really does last for two weeks chip-free. They even survived a housework blitz two weeks in, emerging as good as ever.
Leaves your nails in a brittle condition following removal. If you're are not willing to get the Shellac reapplied then be prepared for weak nails for a while.
The hot new trend: Rockstar Shellac
This has all the advantages of Shellac except with the added bonus of sparkle – what more could a girl want? It's a fashionable and high-maintenance look with a minimum of effort. Rockstar Shellac showed no signs of chipping over two weeks in and still oozed glitz and glamour.
Perfect for the festive season and if Christmas isn't the time for a bit of sparkle then when is?
Like Shellac, my nail was left weak and thin after removal but this truly is the perfect party nail for all disco divas out there.
The old school favourite: Acrylic
Acrylic nails have been on the market a lot longer but have dwindled in popularity since their nail rival, Shellac, arrived on to the scene and it is easy to see why. Acrylics do not achieve the same high shine that Shellac does.
However, the option of adding a tip to the end of your nail before the acrylic is painted over can change the look of your fingers by giving the perception that they are longer and slimmer.
Perfect for anyone who struggles to grow their nails naturally – nail biters I'm looking at you!
Unlike Shellac, acrylic nails dry on their own accord and there is no need for a UV light for drying.
Salon: Voodou
Nail technicians: Danika Weston and Lyndsey Jackson
Full set of acrylics £40 (little finger)
Full set of Shellac (middle finger) / Rockstar Shellac (ring and index finger): £25
File polish (thumb): £8.50
Student discount is available

Carey Price will not play again in the Eastern Conference final. Michel Therrien has made his most important coaching decision of the playoffs. He just hasn't told the press: Peter Budaj or Dustin Tokarski?
Michel Therrien said it succinctly: "We have lost our best player."
Carey Price is officially out for the rest of the Eastern Conference final Therrien told reporters at his pre-game presser for Game 2 tonight in Montreal.
Price was injured when Chris Kreider fell into him on a partial breakway in the second period of Game 1.
Price played the rest of the period, but Peter Budaj replaced him for the third.
Therrien didn't name his starter for Monday's game, though he did say he'd already made his decision. Budaj is the backup, but Therrien might be tempted to go with third-stringer Dustin Tokarski, who shone in three games this season, going 2-0, with one shutout a 1.84 goals-against average and .946 save percentage.
The Canadiens acquired Tokarski from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Valentine's Day in 2013 for Cedrick Desjardins in a switch of minor league goaltenders. The Lightning drafted Tokarski 122nd overall in 2008. In 41 games with the Hamilton Bulldogs, Montreal's American League affiliate, Tokarski went 20-16-3, including one shutout, with a 2.38 GAA and .919 SP.
Given Therrien's reticence at his press conference, don't be surprised if Tokarski gets the start. He has a championship pedigree: a Memorial Cup (2008), world juniors gold (2009) and Calder Cup (2012).
And hey, he's got Ken Dryden and Patrick Roy to look to for inspiration.

Learning to hear and say numbers in any language is a very important for day-to-day communication in that language. To learn numbers in English, you can break them down into sets and categories that follow similar rules, thereby making them easier to remember.Continue Reading
The numbers 1 (one) through 10 (ten) are the basic building blocks of the number system in most languages. By learning 1 through 10, you will have been introduced to every symbol used in the English counting system and the name for when that symbol appears in the "ones" place, which is the right-most digit of a whole number. Learn 1 through 10 before continuing.
In some languages, the numbers 11 through 19 do not follow the same rules as many of the other counting numbers. In English 11 (eleven) and 12 (twelve) are the most irregular, but the rest of the numbers between 10 and 20 follow a pattern. They take the ones-digit's name, or part of the name, and add "teen." This might make it easier to remember numbers like 13 (thirteen), 14 (fourteen), 15 (fifteen) and so on.
After 19, all two-digit numbers follow the same formula. Most or all of these numbers include the tens-digit name and the suffix "ty," which is followed by the ones-digit name unless that digit is a zero. For example, 20 is written as twenty, 21 is twenty-one, 30 is thirty, 45 is forty-five and 89 is eighty-nine.
Three-digit numbers read from left to right, starting with the hundreds digit and then reading the next two digits as they would be read without the hundreds digit. Hundreds digits are always said with that symbol's name followed by the word "hundred." For example, 100 is written as one hundred, 300 is written as three hundred and 425 is written as four hundred twenty-five.

Uzbekistan midfielder Server Djeparov was named 2008 Asian Player of the Year by the Asian Football Confederation at a ceremony on Tuesday.
Djeparov, who plays for Bunyodkor, finished ahead of Yasuhito Endo and prevented Japan's 2008 Asian Champions League winners Gamba Osaka completing a hat-trick of awards.
Gamba's successful Champions League campaign saw the J League side named 2008 Asian Team of the Year while their long-serving manager Akira Nishino was Coach of the Year.
Japan were National Team of the Year after an impressive 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign so far, while the Japan FA was honoured with the AFC Fair Play Association of the Year.

General Musharraf – Perceptions, Politics and Pakistani Realities
The Former Chief of Army Staff, President and yes, Dictator, was asked several uncomfortable questions that have previously been opined, dissected, and analyzed by both international and Pakistani media.
What struck me the most was the high level of honesty and comfort with which he answered each question on the conspiracies and politics in Pakistan that have long surrounded him. The list of controversies was lengthy:
The armed rebellion in Baluchistan and the Bugti case
The 2007 Emergency Proclamation and resulting treason charges
The nation's relationship with India and Kashmir's role
International pressures from Saudi Arabia and the United States
Accusations of playing a double game on the fight against terror
Benazir Bhutto's premature return to Pakistan
His departure in 2009 and subsequent 2013 return to Pakistan
His frustrated attempt to be a third political force in Pakistan
Osama bin Laden's presence in Pakistan
The role of the military in a reform-based democratic set up in Pakistan
Imran Khan's political movement and it's strengths and weaknesses
Pakistan's blasphemy law and much, much more…
He answered each with his characteristic frankness and without deflecting or shifting the direction of conversation. In comparison to other politicians anywhere in the world, let alone in Pakistan, he was neither offended nor upset by either host's questions. He was honest, candid, straightforward and in many ways welcomed the hard questions by Moeed Pirzada and Fawad Chaudhry. He set an example of how to stand by one's principles, admit one's failures and to implement change from hard lessons learned. With this particular interview, Former President Musharraf revealed himself as a man both seasoned and humbled by experience.
I hope that present and future emerging leaders in Pakistan see him as someone to look up to and emulate.

Special equipment: Standard 12 (1/2 cup) muffin tin
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the butter and then the vanilla.
While mixing slowly, add half the dry ingredients, then add all the milk, and follow with the rest of the dry ingredients. Take care not to over mix the batter. Divide the batter evenly in the prepared tin (about 1/3 cup batter per cup cake.)
Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove. Cool on the rack completely.
For Meringue: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a mixer's bowl above the water. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, lemon juice and zest, cream of tarter and salt in the bowl by hand. Set the bowl above the boiling water and continue whisking until the mixture is hot to the touch and the sugar dissolves, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat at medium-high speed until meringue is cool and holds a soft peak, about 5 minutes. Add a few drops of desired food coloring and continue beating until it holds stiff peaks.
To decorate: Using a spoon, offset spatula or piping bag, dollop, spread or pipe meringue on top of each cupcake. Use the back of a spoon to create peaks and valleys in the cupcake as desired.

The close-to-disclose process will continue to grow more burdensome as will the pressure on the reporting staff. While more speed and less cost are indeed compelling targets for repair, these goals should not be pursued without a step back and a good look at the bigger picture. Finance must ensure excellence in corporate reporting on all levels. One must keep in mind the purpose of reporting: to assist in the effective functioning of the market economy by enabling shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders to assess the overall performance of a business and to establish its current and future value. This core mission falls apart if shareholders and other stakeholders cannot rely on the quality of the information produced.

For many exes in Pennsylvania, divorce can lead to major complications in retirement planning. Because retirement funds are often among the largest assets held by a married couple, the effect of splitting them in a divorce settlement can be significant. Exes may need to escalate their savings plans in order to restore their funds, especially as the cost of retirement continues to rise. A divorce can have significant, long-term effects on financial planning even beyond the immediate results of property division.
Retirement funds can be a major factor in divorce
Why it is important to change beneficiaries after divorce
When couples in Pennsylvania make the decision to divorce, there can be serious, immediate financial concerns that follow. However, the financial impacts of divorce are not only those that occur immediately after the end of a marriage. It can be particularly important to handle important matters relating to retirement funds, life insurance policies and other accounts with beneficiaries.
Tips for dividing bitcoin accounts in a divorce
Pennsylvania couples who are getting a divorce may need to divide assets and debts, and for some, bitcoins may be among the assets. The currency has increased in value and become better-known in the process, and it might increasingly feature in divorce cases.

When people in Pennsylvania get a divorce after 10 or more years of marriage, a lower-earning spouse may be eligible to draw Social Security benefits based on the earnings of the higher-earning spouse. A former spouse who receives these benefits will lose them upon remarriage. In some cases, if that marriage ends in death or divorce, the person might be able to resume receiving the benefits.
The financial impact of divorce over 50
In most states around the country, including Pennsylvania, divorce rates are decreasing with every age group except those over 50. In fact, one in four couples over 50 will go through what many call a gray divorce, and this age group has experienced a staggering 50 percent increase in divorce rates over the last 20 years. Often, these individuals are retired and have their own unique set of financial consequences of divorce to deal with.
Financial tips for divorce
Getting divorced can result in individuals having to rebuild their finances from scratch. However, there are some steps Pennsylvania residents can take to lessen the negative impact divorce can have on their financial future.
Dividing retirement accounts
Pennsylvania couples who are getting divorced should be aware that making wrong decisions about how to divide retirement assets can be very costly in the long run. Legal and accounting professionals spend a lot of time rectifying the mistakes made by divorcing couples who mishandle their retirement accounts. It is important a legal agreement is in place to avoid having to pay a high tax bill or ending up with no retirement funds at all.
Division of property and hiding assets in divorce
A divorce in Pennsylvania may become more contentious and complicated if one spouse believes the other is hiding assets. This was the case with a 61-year-old woman who was divorcing her spouse of 25 years. The woman had been the main support for a decade, but her husband wanted both the home and half of her 401(k) in the divorce. The woman also said that he was sharing financial information with her sister but not with her and her attorney.
How to respond to a spouse's unexpected financial transactions
Some people in Pennsylvania might wonder whether a spouse who does something unusual financially might be considering filing for divorce. One husband and wife sold their home and got $90,000 from it. They also both lost their jobs and got around $40,000 each. Without telling her husband, the woman opened an account in her name and put money from the house and from her job into it. The husband demanded that she put the money back into a joint account or add him to the account, but she did not.
Tips for avoiding financial mistakes in a divorce
Pennsylvania couples facing divorce should avoid a few common financial errors. One of those mistakes is not taking out a life insurance policy on an ex-spouse who is paying child or spousal support. This insurance can protect against loss of income in the event of the ex-spouse's death.

Knee pain is one of the most common ailments throughout the world; with thousands of people suffer from this pain. The ailment can be experienced by people in any age including young adults and children. Where does the pain come from? There are several factors that cause pain of the knee. The discomfort can be either caused by injury or it signs another chronic condition. The types of discomfort depend on the cause, are and the physical condition of sufferer. For the elder people, the pain may be related to the other health issues such as joints and bones problems.
Types of Knee Pain
As previously mentioned, knee pain can be triggered by several factors. Different factors cause different type of knee pain. Osteoarthritis for instance, is a common cause of knee pain.Osteoarthritis causes cartilage loss and it triggers discomfort to the knee. Another factor is ligament injuries. Athlete and people involved in rigorous physical activities usually complain of knee pain. Knee pain symptoms include stiffness, swelling, signs of infection such as fever, warmth and redness. When you are unable to walk comfortably, it might also sign knee discomfort. Related to the different causes, the pain needs different treatment. Baker's cyst, anterior knee pain and pain behind knee is another cause of knee pain for people.
How to Relieve Knee Pain
Once you experience knee discomfort, there are several things that you can do for knee pain relief. Taking a rest is the easiest way to relieve the discomfort, especially for the first treatment. People who suffer from knee pain usually neglect the discomfort and keep doing what they do. Whereas, this condition may worsen the pain and it can lead into acute inflammation. If you take a rest but the pain resists, you may need to take ice and heat treatment. Both heat pads and ice packs are the most common treatment for knee pain.
Stretching is another knee pain treatment that you can take for the first aid. You need to know that the knee joint is surrounded by muscles and tendons. When you experience knee pain, stretching the tendons and muscles can be done to relieve the pain. However, if the discomfort is included into a severe condition, stretching may not help you so much. Physical therapy is all you need to treat the pain. Physical therapy is the most common treatment for orthopedic conditions. Some different techniques are used to increase strength, recover mobility as well as bring the patients back to their normal condition.
Your knee pain can also be treated by several medications such as Nonstreroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Cortisone injections. Most of orthopedists prescribe NSAIDs to treat the knee discomfort, especially for those who suffer from knee discomfort caused by tendonitis, bursitis and arthritis. Meanwhile, Cortisone injection is known as a powerful medication to treat knee discomfort, especially which is followed by inflammation. As inflammation is a common condition in knee pain,Cortisone is one of the most prescribed medications. However, you need to consult the doctor related to the benefits of Cortisone injections for your knee pain. Hopefully this article will helps your health issue and knee joints you.

The movers and shakers who have made waves in the mortgage industry this year
The CFPB has announced it will delay the effective date of TRID
The common thread throughout your article is, SET EXPECTATIONS and the originator regardless of his " category" will succeed . While I don't disagree with this needed and properly developed SET EXPECTATIONS skill set, the expectations set by the originator cannot be any better than the process from Origination to funding/closing which is set and directed by the company the Originator represents. Could it be that there are more "flawed" Company processes than there are "flawed" originators.I have 42 years experience in the Financial Industry, have hired and trained many originators..even fired a few in my time.. And.. I think there are really only TWO " types" of Originators..Those that produce...and those that don't. Bottom Line!

Watch how to make this recipe.
Place each rib rack on a sheet of extra-wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil. (The foil should be 4 inches longer than the ribs on either end.) Season racks liberally with kosher salt and sprinkle each rack with 3 tablespoons of the rub. Turn the ribs, meat side down, and tightly seal each foil pouch. Place on a half sheet pan and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Combine the orange juice and margarita mix in a liquid measuring cup. Open 1 end of each pouch and evenly divide the liquid between the 2 pouches. Reseal the pouches and place the sheet pan in the oven for 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully open 1 end of each pouch and pour the braising liquid into a heatproof measuring cup. Reseal the pouches and place them and the measuring cup of liquid into the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
The fat in the braising liquid will have solidified on the top and can be removed at this time. Transfer the liquid to a small saucepan and add the honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, espresso powder and cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine. Set over medium high heat and reduce to a glaze, approximately 10 minutes.
Set a gas grill to medium-high and allow to heat for 10 minutes. Cut each slab in half and place them on the grill, flesh side down, close the lid and decrease the heat to medium. Leave alone for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 minutes on each side 1 more time or until each rib has a nice char. Remove the ribs from the grill to a cutting board. and cut into 2 rib portions, using kitchen shears. Add the ribs and half the glaze to a large serving bowl and toss to thoroughly coat. Serve the remaining glaze on the side.
Place all of the ingredients in an airtight container and shake to combine. Store for up to 3 months.

Aikido was intended to be a legitimate martial art system by the founder, Morihei Ueshiba. He trained his students, not only on effective and efficient technique, but also on developing skills to withstand such training without permanent damage.
This tradition continues today, as Aikido dojos attempt to maintain the lessons handed down from the founder and his direct students. This is a primary responsibility of each instructor and his or her staff.
Respect is the first tier of this structure of ukemi training. "No harm" is the motto that must remain foremost in the minds of each participant.
Etiquette (reigi sa ho) is the second tier. There is an unspoken agreement for a) uke to not interfere in any way with nage's ability to execute proper movement and technique. Also (b) nage agrees to avoid placing uke at unnecessary risk of injury or suffering throughout the exercise of technique. Constant vigilance and attention must be paid by all concerned.
Kindness and Compassion form the third tier, requiring each participant to take into account age, gender, experience, and physical attributes of each person one trains with. Take no one, or any situation for granted. Expect the unexpected.
To minimize the real risk of error and injury, uke must remember the following guidelines. - Remove all tension and preconceived thinking while attacking. - Maintain balance and body control throughout the attack - Follow through completely with the elements required for that particular technique, neither subtracting nor adding new elements. -
Eliminate any hesitation while following through with the attack until the technique is successfully completed. The development of mutual trust, respect and concern is the goal of our paired practice, as well as during randori.
Always follow the instructions of the instructor.

Cytokinin and auxin intersection in root meristems
- Elisabeth J Chapman1 and
- Mark Estelle1Email author
© BioMed Central Ltd 2009
- Published: 23 February 2009
The hormone cytokinin promotes cell differentiation in plant roots by repressing both auxin transport and responses to auxin at the boundary between the meristem and the root elongation zone.
- Auxin Transport
- Root Meristem
- Exogenous Auxin
- Cytokinin Biosynthesis
- Meristem Size
In plants, populations of undifferentiated cells called meristems serve as the source of all new growth throughout post-embryonic development. Meristem size, or the number of undifferentiated cells in the meristem, is maintained by balancing stem-cell replenishment (through cell division) with cell differentiation and elongation to form new tissues and organs. In the Arabidopsis root, meristem maintenance is controlled by the small-molecule hormones auxin and cytokinin, which affect cell division and cell elongation. Although auxin and cytokinin have long been known to interact during development, the molecular mechanisms of these interactions have been elusive. In a recent issue of Science, Sabrina Sabatini and colleagues (Dello Ioio et al. [1]) have elucidated a simple molecular mechanism by which cytokinin regulates meristem size in the Arabidopsis root by antagonizing auxin signaling in the transition zone, the region where cells leave the meristem to differentiate and elongate.
ARR1 targets an auxin-response repressor
Dello Ioio et al. [1] now elucidate the details of this cytokinin-auxin interaction. They first asked whether ARR1 is sufficient for regulation of meristem growth. By transforming plants with a construct encoding a glucocorticoid-inducible form of ARR1, they induced ARR1 overexpression and found that this is sufficient to reduce meristem size, similar to the effect of exogenous cytokinin. Previously identified targets of ARR1 include the auxin-response repressor gene SHORT HYPOCOTYL2 (SHY2) [7], which is particularly interesting as it is required for normal root growth [8]. The hormone auxin acts by enabling the transcription of specific auxin-response genes; it does this by accelerating the degradation of repressor proteins that suppress auxin-response genes (see [9] and references therein) (Figure 1b). SHY2 is one of these repressor proteins, a member of the AUX/IAA family of transcriptional repressors [10, 11].
SHY2 expression and cytokinin-inducibility are lost in arr1 mutant plants, suggesting that SHY2 acts downstream of ARR1. In support of this, the meristems of arr1 and shy2arr1 double-mutant plants are similar in size. Dello Ioio et al. [1] use chromatin immunoprecipitation and electrophoretic mobility shift experiments to show that the ARR1 protein interacts with the SHY2 promoter in vivo and with a GATC-containing ARR1-binding consensus sequence in the SHY2 promoter in vitro. Finally, the authors analyzed meristem size in shy2 loss-of-function mutants overexpressing ARR1. In the shy2 mutant, ARR1 overexpression does not trigger the meristem size decrease observed in the wild-type background, confirming that SHY2 is necessary for cytokinin-mediated meristem size control via ARR1.
Cytokinin represses PIN expression through SHY2
In their 2007 study [3] Dello Ioio et al. noted that cytokinin is required in the vascular transition zone for differentiation of all cell types in the zone, leading them to hypothesize that cytokinin could act in this region to repress auxin signaling. Indeed, they observed that auxin transport by PIN proteins is required for the increase in meristem size resulting from cytokinin depletion in the vasculature [3]. In the current study [1], they explore further the role of auxin transport by PINs in meristem size regulation.
PIN1, PIN3 and PIN7 act in the root transition zone and are thought to influence root meristem maintenance [4, 12]. Using quantitative real-time PCR and PIN-GFP fusion lines, Dello Ioio et al. [1] confirm expression of these three PIN proteins in the root vasculature and find that treatment with cyto-kinin markedly reduces their expression specifically in the vascular transition zone. Conversely, PIN expression is increased and expanded in arr1 or ahk3 mutant plants, in which cytokinin signaling is disrupted.
The region of the vasculature that loses PIN expression on cytokinin treatment coincides with the domain of SHY2 expression [1]. So does SHY2 modulate PIN expression in the transition zone? Dello Ioio et al. find that PIN expression is increased and expanded in the root vasculature of shy2-31 (loss-of-function) plants whereas expression is decreased in shy2-2 (gain-of-function) plants. SHY2 is also required for the cytokinin-mediated decrease in PIN expression. Together, these results indicate that SHY2 does indeed act to reduce PIN expression in the vascular transition zone.
SHY2 regulates meristem size throughout the transition zone
Increased PIN expression and meristem size are also observed in plants treated with exogenous auxin. Do these effects involve auxin-dependent degradation of SHY2? To test this, Dello Ioio et al. treated shy2-2 plants with auxin [1]. The SHY2-2 protein does not interact with the auxin receptor TIR1, and therefore accumulates, resulting in auxin resistance [13]. Auxin application did not trigger increases in PIN expression or meristem size in shy2-2 plants, suggesting that SHY2 degradation does indeed contribute to these auxin effects. Similar experiments with gain-of-function mutants of other AUX/IAA family members will be needed to determine whether SHY2 is the only family member with this function.
The authors go on to investigate the possible involvement of SHY2 in auxin regulation of cytokinin biosynthesis [1]. Using an isopentyl transferase (IPT5) promoter-reporter fusion, they find that promoter activity of this cytokinin biosynthesis gene increases in the root vascular transition zone of plants treated with exogenous auxin and in the shy2-31 loss-of-function mutant. In the gain-of-function mutant shy2-2, IPT5 promoter activity and auxin responsiveness are abolished. These results demonstrate the existence of a second mechanism by which SHY2 links auxin and cytokinin pathways in the Arabidopsis root, although the details of this SHY2 negative feedback loop are not yet clear.
Putting these results together, Dello Ioio and colleagues [1] present a model for the mechanism of auxin antagonism by cytokinin through the auxin repressor SHY2 (Figure 2b), and they show the requirement for this circuit in positioning the transition zone between the meristem and the elongation differentiation zone. Their model accounts for the effects of exogenous auxin or cytokinin application on root meristem size, and explains the root meristem phenotypes observed in several auxin and cytokinin signaling mutants. They propose that auxin transport by the PIN efflux carriers directs auxin to a maximum near the stem-cell niche, where it effects auxin responses, maintains cell division and increases meristem size. Auxin responses are antagonized in the transition zone by the auxin-sensitive repressor SHY2, expression of which is induced by cytokinin synthesized in the transition zone vasculature. SHY2 accumulates here, where it represses expression of auxin-responsive genes, enabling differentiation of vascular cells.
SHY2 also effects differentiation of non-vascular cells in the transition zone. As found by Dello Ioio et al. [1], increases in PIN expression in the vasculature via auxin treatment or loss-of-function mutations in arr1 and shy2 are accompanied by increased meristem size in all cell files of the meristem. This intriguing result contributes to the model for SHY2-mediated regulation of meristem size. SHY2 repression of PIN expression in the vascular transition zone will ultimately limit lateral auxin transport. This deprives other cell types of the stem-cell fate signal - auxin - thus enabling differentiation of all cell types in the transition zone.
Auxin and cytokinin also act antagonistically in the specification of the root stem-cell niche. Here, auxin represses cytokinin action by activating expression of ARR7 and ARR15, which encode A-type response-regulator proteins that repress cytokinin responses [5]. This raises the question of whether antagonistic auxin-cytokinin interactions are a common theme in the specification of cell identity. It is also interesting to consider the genes downstream of SHY2 and ARR1, and how they might function to maintain stem-cell identity or enable differentiation. The results presented by Dello Ioio et al. [1] suggest that auxin-responsive genes in root tips are associated with stem-cell identity, whereas targets of ARR1 are predicted to be associated with differentiation processes. The results of this study could now inform the analysis of the large datasets of hormone-responsive genes collected from numerous genomic studies [14, 15].
