Zika may not be the only virus of its kind that can damage a fetus
Tests on pregnant mice show two other flaviviruses also cause deadly harm in the womb
Nitin Arora and Carolyn Coyne/University of Pittsburgh
Zika virus may not be the black sheep of the family. Infections with either of two related viruses also cause fetal defects in mice, researchers find.
Some scientists have speculated that Zika's capacity to harm a fetus might be unique among its kind, perhaps due to a recent change in the virus's genetic material (SN: 10/28/17, p. 9). Others have argued that perhaps this dangerous ability was always there. It just wasn't until the 2015–2016 epidemic in the Western Hemisphere that enough pregnant women were affected for public health researchers to identify the association with fetal defects (SN: 12/24/16, p. 19).
But new work suggests this capacity is not Zika's alone. Pregnant mice infected with West Nile or Powassan virus — both flaviviruses, like Zika — also showed fetal harm. Over 40 percent of these infected fetuses died. But among pregnant mice infected with one of two other mosquito-borne viruses unrelated to Zika, all of the fetuses survived, scientists report online January 31 in Science Translational Medicine.
The research underscores that "many viruses, including some similar to Zika, can infect the placenta and the cells of the baby," says George Saade, an obstetrician-gynecologist and cell biologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. "This list keeps growing and highlights the risks from viruses that we are not very familiar with."
Like Zika, West Nile virus and Powassan virus are neurotropic, meaning these pathogens target nerve cells. Both viruses can cause inflammation of the brain or of the membranes that surround the brain. West Nile is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that have bitten infected birds. From 1999 to 2016, there were more than 46,000 cases reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Powassan, spread by ticks who have fed on infected rodents, is less widespread; only 98 cases were reported from 2007 to 2016, mostly in the Northeast and Great Lakes area.
Jonathan Miner, a virologist at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and his colleagues conducted some of the initial work in mice that demonstrated that Zika could harm fetuses (SN: 6/11/16, p. 15). The new study tests the effects of four other viruses: the two flaviviruses and two alphaviruses, chikungunya and Mayaro, which also have led to outbreaks in Zika-affected areas.
The researchers infected 14 mice early in their pregnancies with one of the four viruses. By late pregnancy, 12 out of 30 fetuses from West Nile–infected mice had died, and half of the 16 fetuses from Powassan-infected mice had died. All of the fetuses from mice infected with chikungunya and Mayaro virus survived. West Nile virus and Powassan virus also replicated, or multiplied, more efficiently than the alphaviruses in lab samples of human placental tissue.
Zika, West Nile and Powassan share similarities in their genetic information, Miner says. "So there may be certain features of those virus genes and proteins in that particular family that confers this ability to infect certain cell types." But scientists don't understand fully what those features are yet, he says.
While this is the first study comparing the effects in mice of these mosquito-transmitted and tick-transmitted viruses in parallel, Miner says, past studies have raised the possibility of fetal infections with other flaviviruses besides Zika. A 2006 study of 77 pregnant women infected with West Nile virus reported that two had infants with microcephaly, the birth defect lately associated with Zika that results in unusually small and damaged brains.
In general, examining the potential effects of other flaviviruses on pregnant women and their developing fetuses is difficult, because outbreaks have been sporadic and less widespread than with Zika. It's possible that cases in humans "could go largely unnoticed if we don't look for them," Miner says.

The Cambridge Common and Flagstaff Park project aims to rehabilitate all aspects of the Common as well as improve conditions for all users of these parks and those travelling along this section of Mass. Avenue, from Garden Street to Cambridge Street. It also seeks to unify the historic landscape of the Common by simplifying the vocabulary of the design. The planning of the project has been underway for many years, along with securing funding for the nearly $4m project. The project will replace all pathway surfaces on the Common to meet access codes with bituminous paving with a brick edge, replace and upgrade all benches and trash cans, plant over 100 trees and remove older under-story plantings, improve drainage and turf surfaces, and rehabilitate the lighting system to extend its life and add lighting to pathways where it is missing. Across the street, along the Mass. Avenue side of Flagstaff Park, the curbs will be moved out and a two-way multi-use path constructed with crossings at each end to create better bicycle and pedestrians connections between Harvard Square and Mass. Avenue northbound.
This project has been completed. No further updates to this project page will be made.
The project is now complete.

Flaggstaff Park is currently open. The new path allows users to ride their bicycles of enjoy a run or walk through the park. This month crews will be working on the pedestrian paths within the Cambridge Common.
Crews will mobilize on Massachusetts Ave near Garden St on Thursday, June 12 to begin roadway reconstruction and installation of the new multi-use path through Flagstaff Park. Work in this area will take about 2-3 months to complete.
Improvements within the Common will begin in mid-July and will continue into the fall. Crews will suspend construction activities within the Common for the winter and will resume in the spring of 2015.
Overall construction is expected to last about 18-24 months. This includes work within the Common, improvements on Massachusetts Ave and Flagstaff Park.
Please check back for additional schedule information.
Cambridge Common is a National Historic Landmark. Its long and colorful history, connecting it with seventeenth century New England settlement, the Revolutionary War, and regional nineteenth and twentieth century events and trends, make it an important place and tourist attraction. The Common is also one of the city's major parks. It contains a popular tot lot (which was recently re-built with a $500,000 renovation), youth soccer and other passive activities on its 16 acres. It is a haven for neighborhood people who want a place to relax in the sun or on a bench under a tree. The Common is also significant in that over 10,000 pedestrians and cyclists pass through it on a daily basis. The Cambridge Common underwent its last significant reconstruction in 1974. At the present time, many elements of the Common need significant work, including broken pathway paving, missing and broken lighting, poor drainage, excess paving, older benches and trash cans, gaps in the tree canopy and older plantings. A history of changes to the Common was compiled by the city's Historical Commission and can be by going to the documents tab. Pedestrian and bicycle travel through this area can be difficult because of the amount of vehicle traffic and past reconfigurations of the roadway to accommodate an underpass constructed under the Harvard campus at Peabody and Cambridge streets and the MBTA bus tunnel at Flagstaff Park. Peabody Street and Garden Street are too narrow for bicycle lanes, and the volume and nature of how traffic flows around the Common makes it difficult for cyclists. At present, the primary travel routes for pedestrians and cyclists wanting to travel from Harvard Square to Mass. Avenue northbound are through the north yard of the Harvard campus or through the Common but these routes may not best serve people depending on their exact starting and ending points. Because of the complex travel patterns in the area, the Common's function as a travel corridor is being improved through small changes. Minor pathway realignments and other pathway changes are being made to reflect actual pedestrian and bicycle travel patterns and to minimize conflict between the two travel modes. In general, pathway widths are staying the same, except where minor widening is being done to make paths a consistent width. Concerns about pedestrian/bicycle conflict on shared-use paths in and around the Common have been discussed in depth through several public forums over the years. Representatives of the Pedestrian Committee, the Bicycle Committee, Committee on Public Planting, Historical Commission, Harvard University, Cambridge Office of Tourism, and representatives of the various City departments (including Community Development; Traffic, Parking, and Transportation; Public Works; Police; and the City Manager's Office) reached an agreement several years ago that pedestrians and cyclists should both be accommodated on the Common with this renovation proposal. As part of the Harvard Square Design Study completed in 2004, the lack of a good bicycle and pedestrian connection through Flagstaff Park was noted as a major impediment to travel between Harvard Square and North Mass. Avenue. The study recommended a multi-use path connection through Flagstaff Park be designed to create a direct and safe connection along the north-eastern edge of Mass. Avenue opposite the Common.

Sandoval's homer in the 10th lifts Giants over Nats
San Francisco, CA – Pablo Sandoval scorched a two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 victory over the Washington Nationals Tuesday in the middle test of a three- game set at AT&T Park.
Marco Scutaro ripped a one-out single back up the middle off Yunesky Maya (0-1) before Sandoval launched the second pitch he saw from the Washington reliever deep into the seats in center field to send the Giants to their second straight win.
Gregor Blanco tied the game with a two-out, two-strike triple that scored Andres Torres in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings.
Jeremy Affeldt (1-0) pitched a perfect top of the 10th to notch the victory.
San Francisco trailed 2-1 entering the ninth, with Washington closer Rafael Soriano on the mound trying to halt the Nats' three-game losing streak.
Buster Posey greeted Soriano with a single back up the middle that deflected off the right-hander before trickling toward short.
Torres then replaced Posey as a pinch runner, but Soriano induced back-to-back fly outs and the Giants found themselves down to their final out.
Down 1-2 in the count, Blanco belted a slider over the head of Bryce Harper in right, allowing Torres to race around the bases for the game-tying run.
"I didn't want to hit the wall, for one," said Harper, who hesitated on the hit because of running into the wall last week in Los Angeles. "Of course it crosses your mind after you jam into a wall."
Soriano's blown save spoiled a stellar start from Washington right-hander Stephen Strasburg, who struck out seven and held the Giants to just one run on five hits and three walks over seven strong frames.
Strasburg's counterpart, Matt Cain, also dazzled in his no-decision, as the San Francisco righty allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over his seven-inning start.
"Facing each other, we thought it'd be a close game," said Cain. "Thought it would come down to the guy who made the most mistakes."
The Nats did all their damage against Cain in the first, as Denard Span smacked a leadoff single, moved to second on Harper's bunt and raced home on Ryan Zimmerman's double to center field.
After Adam LaRoche flied out, Ian Desmond deposited a two-bagger of his own into right field to score Zimmerman for a 2-0 lead.
The Giants left the bases loaded in the bottom half, but broke through in the second when Blanco slapped a leadoff single and moved to second on Cain's one- out bunt before scoring on an Angel Pagan single to center to make it 2-1.
Strasburg stifled the home team from there, as he kept San Francisco from moving a runner past second until he was lifted after seven innings.
Tyler Clippard then worked around a two-out double in the eighth, but Soriano was unable to hold the lead in the ninth.
Game Notes
Maya was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse before the game after pitcher Ryan Mattheus was placed on the disabled list with a broken right hand ... Scutaro extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a double in the eighth ... San Francisco placed pitchers Ryan Vogelsong and Santiago Casilla on the DL and recalled pitcher Sandy Rosario and first baseman Brett Pill from Triple-A Fresno ... Washington went 2-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base.

Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law
The Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg adopts an interdisciplinary approach that combines criminal law and criminology in the interests of advancing criminal law theory and its application as a form of social control. The Department of Criminal Law therefore studies the theory of criminal law and bases its analyses primarily on a normative and comparative approach. The Department of Criminology uses both empirical, as well as theoretical methods to shed light on the causes and forms of criminality and the options for social control. Issues common to both departments include risk, hazard and prevention, globalization, internationalization and networking, and the information society and information technology.

Canada is situated north of the United States. It is one of the largest countries by area and home to 35 million people. In 2013 approximately 187000 new cases of cancer were reported. Overall, cancer and heart disease are the number 1 and 2 causes of death in Canada, respectively. Approximately 30% and 21% of all deaths are due to these 2 major diseases. In women, lung, breast and colorectal cancers are the major forms of cancers contributing to 26, 14 and 12%, respectively, of all cancer deaths in women. Aggressive prevention and availability of treatment options has translated to a steady decline in breast and colorectal cancer mortality. Nevertheless, there remains much work. Major funding agencies including the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCRA), Cancer Research Society and many local charities have contributed significantly to the fight against ending breast cancer.
France is the third largest and third most populous European country.
French women represent 52% of the total current population of nearly 66 million. The French Institute National du Cancer (INCa) has claimed breast cancer as the most frequent cancer affecting French women with nearly 50,000 new cases annually. The latter represents 50% of all cancer cases diagnosed among women. Breast cancer is also the most deadly, having the highest mortality rate compared to all other types of cancer affecting French women.
The year 2012 observed the first subtle decline in breast cancer mortality rate. This decline has been linked to a more proactive prevention cancer plan that emphasizes earlier screening and quicker treatment for more French women.
The President of the French Republic, Francois Hollande announced the 2014-2019 Cancer Plan on World Cancer Day, February 4th. The 3rd cancer plan adds onto the second cancer plan 2009-2013 with four new priorities: cure more cancer patients, preserve the quality of life of cancer patients, invest in prevention and research and maximize the efficiency of organizations. The aim of this new plan is to preserve the integrity of the cancer patient and to reduce cancer incidence.
Ghana is a country in West Africa with a population of 25 million people and the home to Lake Volta, the largest artificial lake in the world by surface area. It is the world's second largest cocoa producer and one of the world's largest gold producers. Considering the absence of a national cancer registry in the country, hospital based data has indicated that, cancer is fourth cause of deaths with the five most common being; cancers of the liver, breast, cervix, prostate, and stomach. Breast cancer is the leading malignancy for women accounting for 15 % of all cancers and the incidence appears to be increasing.
Cancer care in Ghana has improved substantially in the past 10 years. Solid tumours used to be managed entirely with surgery followed by some form of chemotherapy, or by chemotherapy alone. However, since radiotherapy was introduced to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in 1997 and to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in 2004, multidisciplinary approaches with some adjuvant treatments and palliative care strategies have enhanced cancer management in the country. Despite these advances, however, most patients with cancer still present at late stages, because of personal factors and deficiencies in the general health-care system. Currently, Ghana faces several challenges to cancer management, including a scarcity of trained professionals and the prohibitive costs of investigations and treatments.
Stigmatization In The Fight Against Breast Cancer In Ghana
Breast Cancer not Spiritual Disease
Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai Urges Ghanaian Women To Check Their Breasts Regularly
Breast cancer incidence has been on the rise in Lebanon and many middle and low income countries in the region. In Lebanon, breast cancer has a higher prevalence than most other countries of the region especially amongst women of the younger age group of 35-50 years old. As a result there is a growing interest in raising awareness about breast cancer causes, early detection and prevention. There are several research projects at the American University of Beirut (AUB) and Lebanon that look into breast cancer prevalence and frequency of BRCA mutations among other studies seeking to decipher mechanisms of breast cancer progression at the cellular level. The International Breast Cancer and Nutrition (IBCN) project vision is well aligned with Lebanon's national directives in combatting the disease through prevention campaigns and supporting capable multidisciplinary research teams. Besides this, the IBCN project provides Lebanon a unique access to expertise and knowledge sharing forums that include other member countries that would not have been available otherwise.
As a result, Lebanon has already initiated collaborative research projects and student exchange with member countries and is looking forward to host the 4th IBCN international symposium at AUB in October 2013. A local organizing committee has been set up for that purpose and other interdisciplinary research teams have assembled and already gearing to participate in grant writing with IBCN member countries and countries in the region. The intent is to look into lifestyles and cultural dietary habits and how that affects the genomic imprints acquired during the lifetime of individuals in populations at risk, and the incidents of breast cancer. This is the third year that Lebanon is part of the IBCN group and much has been done, but more efforts are needed to secure substantial funds so that Lebanon can become an effective participant in this global effort. We are very excited about this project and looking forward to the years ahead.
The Netherlands is the 10th most populous country in Europe (the 24th in the world) with over 16 million people. It has the 12th highest cancer rates in the world. Breast cancer is the most common and the second leading cause (after lung cancer) of death in the female population. Approximately 14,000 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year in the Netherlands. The first pilot program of breast screening was launched in 1975 and breast cancer mortality has been decreasing since 1997 after having been stable for decades. In 2002, the first multidisciplinary National Breast Cancer Guideline was published.
The State of Qatar is a sovereign Arab state located on the west coast of the Peninsular Gulf. With proven reserves of oil and natural gas, Qatar is one of the world's richest countries with GDP per capita of $98,329 in 2011. The government of Qatar has made health care research as one of national research priorities; close to 3% of its annual GDP ($3.5 billion USD, more than any other country in the world) is allocated to funding research in Qatar. Among Qatari women, the leading cancer diagnosis, far greater than diagnosis of other cancers, is breast cancer. Effort to fight cancer at primary, secondary and tertiary levels has been a priority for health care system and health care professionals in Qatar - evidence by the launch of the comprehensive Qatar National Cancer Strategy in 2012.
Switzerland is situated in Western and Central Europe with population of 8 million people. It is the birthplace of the Red Cross and home to a large number of international organizations. Breast cancer is the leading cancer diseases in Swiss women, representing approximately one third of all new cancer cases and almost a fifth of deaths from cancer. It can occur at a younger age than most other cancers. The number of women affected by breast cancer has recently declined after decades of increase. However, there is an increased incidence rate in women under the age of 50. Switzerland has excellent cancer surveillance and treatment with the Swiss pharmaceutical industry as a leading producer of anticancer drugs. Now Switzerland is in partnership with the IBCN on primary prevention of breast cancer.

United States
The United States is the fourth-largest country by total area and third largest by population (0.3 billion). It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nationals. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. About 1 in 8 American women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 1971, the USA passed the National Cancer Act, starting the "War on Cancer". The incidence of breast cancer declined in the early 2000 and has remained stable since 2004. In 2007, the world's first normal breast tissue bank was founded in Indianapolis. In 2010, Sophie Lelièvre and Connie Weaver, two professors from Purdue University, launched the International Breast Cancer and Nutrition (IBCN) project to foster the development of a community of scientists across disciplines, public health experts and stakeholders dedicated to research on the primary prevention of breast cancer.
Uruguay is the second-smallest nation in South America. It is home to 3.3 million people, of whom 1.8 million live in the capital Montevideo and its metropolitan area. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in adults after cardiovascular diseases in Uruguay (~ 24 %) with a similar profile to developed countries. Uruguay has been working on cancer prevention for long time and was one of the first nations in the world that signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and developed tobacco control policies. For adults' women in Uruguay, breast cancer is the first leading cause of incidence and deaths. The health policies in primary prevention of breast cancer in Uruguay are focused on promotion of healthy diet and avoiding the obesity as a risk evitable factor of cancer and promote studies about this topic.

01749 671166
As soon as we saw it we knew we had found our ideal home in a perfect location, an 18th Century house sitting proudly at the top of the cobbled streets of the market square in the beautiful Cathedral City of Wells, Somerset.
Two years later we converted our home into a café which has a distinctly retro vintage feel to it. We have created a space to relax in, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy what we think is fantastic coffee specifically selected by us after visiting very many roasteries (our Tea and Hot Chocolate is pretty special as well!) We are told that our food is wonderfully tasty, made from local ingredients wherever possible, including our amazing cakes.
The history of the Square Edge Café is significant, in that the building was once used as an eating room for prisoners being held next door in the Town Hall; it has been said that a 'friendly' ghost still occupies the premises.
You are able to select and listen to music on our in-café original jukebox and even purchase the furniture and ornaments; we have a shop on our website which contains many of the items found for sale in our café.
We hope that you will be able to visit us sometime in the near future.

"Reading First helps our most vulnerable students learn the fundamental elements of reading while helping teachers improve instruction. Instead of reversing the progress we have made by cutting funding, we must enhance Reading First and help more students benefit from research based instruction."
Secretary Margaret Spellings
Reading First builds on a solid foundation of scientifically based research and provides struggling students in the nation's highest need schools with the necessary resources to make significant progress in reading achievement.
- Reading First continues the federal commitment to a dedicated funding stream for readingstates have received over $6 billion to support reading programs for struggling students. More than 100,000 teachers across the country have been trained to implement high quality, scientifically based reading programs. Their efforts are reaching more than 1.8 million students.
- Reading First provides grants to states to help schools and school districts improve the reading achievement of low-income, low-achieving students through scientifically proven methods of instruction.
- The program, based on the findings of the National Reading Panel, funds professional development; scientifically based instructional programs, materials, and strategies; valid and reliable screening, diagnostic and ongoing classroom assessments, and statewide accountability and leadership structures.
The Institute of Education Sciences report, "Reading First Impact Study Final Report" demonstrates the positive effects of Reading First on the quality of reading instruction and the positive relationship between time spent on reading instruction and reading comprehension:
- While this evaluation found no statistically significant difference in reading comprehension, Reading First had a significant impact on students' decoding, phonics, and fluency skillsthree of the five basic components of reading. This impact means that scores of students in Reading First schools were higher by the equivalent of 3 months of a 9-month school year.
- Teachers in Reading First classrooms engaged in more of the practices emphasized by Reading First than teachers in non-Reading First classrooms.
- Reading First produced positive and statistically significant impacts on multiple practices that are promoted by the program, including professional development in scientifically based reading instruction (SBRI), support from full-time reading coaches, amount of reading instruction, and supports available for struggling readers.
- The results in the final report included an assessment of students' decoding and surveys of teachers, principals and reading coaches and interviews with district staff.
The Reading First report shows the program has greatest influence on helping teachers teach reading:
- Reading First had a statistically significant impact on the total time that teachers spent on the five essential components of reading instruction (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension) based on the findings of the National Reading Panel for students in grades one and two.
- Reading First had a statistically significant impact on the use of highly explicit instruction in grades one and two and on the amount of high quality student practice in grade two. Its estimated impact on high quality student practice for grade one was not statistically significant.
- Reading First had a statistically significant impact on the amount of professional development in reading teachers reported receiving; teachers in RF schools reported receiving 25.8 hours of professional development compared to what would have been expected without Reading First (13.7 hours).
- Reading First also had a statistically significant impact on teachers' self-reported receipt of professional development in the five essential components of reading instruction; teachers in RF schools reported receiving professional development on an average of 4.3 of 5 components, compared to what would have been expected without Reading First (3.7 components).
- A statistically significantly greater proportion (20 percent) of teachers in RF schools reported receiving coaching from a reading coach than would be expected without Reading First.
- Reading First had a statistically significant impact on the amount of time teachers reported spending on reading instruction per day. Teachers in RF schools reported an average of 105.7 minutes per day, 18.5 minutes more than the 87.2 minutes that would be expected without Reading First.
Reading First is the academic cornerstone of the bipartisan No Child Left Behind Act.
- Reading First is designed to help needy students in grades K-3, while Early Reading First helps preschool age children.
- In FY 2008, Congress decreased the appropriation for Reading First by 61%.
- President Bush has requested the restoration of funding for the program in FY 2009 to its FY 2007 level of $1 billion.
Student achievement data in the states show increases:
- Achievement data reported by States on their Annual Performance Reports show that Reading First students from nearly every grade and subgroup have made impressive gains in reading proficiency.
- In Grade 1, 44 of 50 States reported increases in the percentage of students proficient in reading comprehension. Of these, 31 States increased by 5 percentage points or more.
- In Grade 2, 39 of 52 States reported improvement. Of these, 19 States increased by 5 percentage points or more.
- In Grade 3, 27 of 35 States reported improvement. Of these, 15 States increased by 5 percentage points or more.

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Van Morrison
New album: Give The People What They Want
Artist: Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
Label: Daptone Records
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Do you ever find yourself listening to something from the golden age of Stax or Motown and think, "wow, they don't make 'em like that anymore"?
Until the advent of Daptone Records in 2002, you would have been correct in that assumption. Label head and Dap Kings bassist Gabriel Roth (aka Bosco Mann) knows how to write, record and mix music that sounds as if it was recorded in the golden age of 1960s/early 1970s soul. An early Sharon Jones single that was issued on vinyl was so authentic sounding, collectors thought it was a long lost r&b gem. Thinking there were only a few copies in existence, the hipsters bought the records like crazy, even though Daptone was still pressing them as fast as they were being sold.
While their approach (and recording equipment) doesn't look past 1970, the sound Roth has created is fresh. In fact, the Amy Winehouse album "Back To Black" was recorded with The Dap Kings at Roth's studio. Apparently there is an appetite for authentic R&B/soul music recorded on analog tape, free of the digital trickery that has all but strangled genuine expression.
As brilliant as the Dap Kings are, vocalist Sharon Jones ups the ante. Her churning, relentless vocals put her in a class with Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. Jones is equally adept at funk ("Long Time, Wrong Time", "Stranger To My Happiness") and soul ("Retreat!", "Now I See"), and the Dap Kings' playing is spirited and joyful throughout.
There's not as much hard funk on "Give The People What They Want" as on previous records, but there is a definite increase in the amount of Motown dust spread over the proceedings. If you played "Breaking Up and Making Up" for Diana Ross, she'd probably think it was a long-lost Supremes track. How Mann was able to resurrect that vintage soul sound and create fresh, commercially viable music with it is a small miracle.
"Give The People What They Want" is another jewel in the Sharon Jones/Dap Kings catalog, and it's just as good a point of entry into their cool little world as any.
Classic album: His Band And The Street Choir
Artist: Van Morrison
Label: Warner Bros.
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
After creating blistering blues/r&b with Them and launching a solo career that produced the landmark albums "Astral Weeks" and "Moondance", Van The Man checked in with "His Band And Street Choir" near the end of 1970.
It would have been tough for Morrison to follow up two of the greatest pop records of all-time with a third one, but "His Band..." is a really good if not monumental album. It boasts a fantastic opening track in "Domino", which sounds as if it could have been recorded during the "Moondance" sessions. "Domino" hasn't been beaten into the ground by oldies radio as severely as "Brown Eyed Girl", but it's taken quite a pummeling.
The downright funky "I've Been Working" veers into Sly Stone territory, and it's great to hear Morrison vamp with saxophonist Jack Schroer. "Domino" was the big radio hit, but the humorous "Blue Money" and the somewhat tepid "Call Me Up In Dreamland" also received radio play. The gentle "I'll Be Your Lover, Too" was a multi-decade precursor to Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately", with an intimate vocal and more superb playing by Schroer.
It's unfair to expect Morrison to churn out an "Astral Weeks" or "Moondance" every time he steps up to the plate, but "His Band And The Street Choir" did like an attempt to lower everyone's expectations. The album has a breezy feel that creates an enjoyable listening experience but doesn't necessarily leave the listener with the feeling that he or she just heard something really special.
Van Morrison would go on to spend the next 40+ years crafting near masterpieces - along with a few head-scratchers along the way. In the grand scheme of things, "His Band And Street Choir" is more of a snapshot of where he was at the time than a monumental work that could be deemed timeless.

AUSTIN, Texas – Jenn Carey and Amanda Rodriguez both earned quarterfinals appearances in their respective events on the first day of the NCAA West Regionals at the University of Texas, Austin.
Rodriguez earned a spot in Friday's quarterfinals as she finished third in her heat in the 400 hurdles. The senior finished in 58.58 seconds, which is just 0.26 seconds shy of her career-high that she set at the Big West Championships this season. Her finishing time in the prelims currently places her 14th at the meet.
Meanwhile, Carey continues to compete at an elite level as she secured a spot in the 400m quarterfinals with a time of 53.17, finishing second in her heat and 10th overall. The senior captured her personal best-time of 52.29 earlier this month at the conference championships.
Daniella Moreno was just eight seconds shy of making the cut to the quarterfinals. Her 35:22.48 finish was good for the 14th best finish. The top-12 advanced to the next round.
Irene Kujore competed in the hammer throw event and had a career-best 57.38m. The senior fouled on two of her three attempts. Her previous personal-best was set at this season's Cal Poly dual meet when she recorded a 58.95 mark.
On the men's side, Jimmy Martin competed in the 400 hurdles and finished with a time of 53.45 seconds. Martin was 39th at the meet.
Jordan Scott competed in the men's 400 and put up a time of 47.67. The junior was 37th overall.
Representing UCSB in the men's 1500 was Juan Paredes who finished with a time of 3:51.06. The senior completed the race 30th overall.
Bryan Guijarro did not finish the 10,000 in his NCAA Regionals debut.
Mitchell Haag cleared 2.12m (6' 11.5") in the high jump, which places him in 17th overallwas not enough for a quarterfinals berth. The senior previously made his career-best at the Cal/Nevada Championships with a jump of 2.20 meters.
The meet will continue on Friday as Carey and Rodriguez both look to advance and Kujore will compete in the discus throw. Also on the schedule, Sean Johnson will be competing in the 110 hurdles for his first event of the weekend.

If you've browsed home sale listings, you've probably seen ads for "Rent-to-Own or "Lease-to-Own" homes. These agreements are similar to traditional rental contracts. However, they also give you an option to purchase the rental home.
Curious as to what renting-to-own involves or wondering if it's a good option for you? Read on to understand the details of a rent-to-own contract and contact us for personalized mortgage advice.
A rent-to-own contract usually has two parts to the agreement: a standard lease agreement as well as a separate document that outlines your option to buy. Both documents may be incorporated into one document or they exist as two separate ones.
Rent Agreement
In the rental part of the rent-to-own arrangement, it'll state that the property will remain as the landlord property unless you choose to exercise the right to purchase the home. While this document will include language that mentions "purchasing," this is still foundationally a rental agreement. It is not a purchase agreement. Just like any other standard lease agreement, it will include terms concerning the amount of rent to be paid, lease period, and outline the repair and maintenance responsibilities of the landlord.
Purchase Agreement
This difference is most notable in the rent that you'll pay, as we mentioned above. You'll still be required to make timely monthly payments, but the amount will be substantially higher than the rent of a similar property. This "extra" amount that you pay is usually put into an escrow account as part of your option to buy. It's the landlord responsibility to set aside this additional portion of the rent aside to apply toward the principle or to refund it should you decide to purchase.
Your Rights and Obligations
Lease-to-own arrangements have unique features that differ from common lease agreements. This difference is most notable in the rent that you'll pay, as we mentioned above. You'll still be required to make timely monthly payments, but the amount will be substantially higher than the rent of a similar property. This "extra" amount that you pay is usually put into an escrow account as part of your option to buy. It's the landlord responsibility to set aside this additional portion of the rent aside and apply toward the principle of the house or refund it to you upon purchase.
In a way, you're building equity in the house during the rental period.
Maintenance is also different. Unlike a traditional lease agreement where the landlord is responsible for all repairs, in the rent-to-own contract, you'll be responsible for the upkeep of the property. Most tenants and landlords consider it a fair agreement since, typically, the tenant will own the house eventually.
Other Details
Until your exercise your right to purchase, the property is legally owned by the landlord. Yes, even if you have made significant repairs and have invested several months of "equity," you'll still have to comply with the terms of the rental agreement. If any of the conditions are violated, the purchase option is voided. You'll lose your option fee as well as the escrow percentage of the monthly rent payments.
Risks and Benefits
Many consider a rent-to-own agreement because they lack funds for the down payment, or their poor credit has made them temporarily ineligible for a mortgage (remember that poor credit can be improved!). With a rent-to-own arrangement, a tenant will be able to gradually build equity in a property while still having the possibility to opt out. However, financially, this could make the situation worse. If you choose not to exercise the right to purchase the property or fail to come up with the funds for the purchase, you could lose all of the funds you accumulated on the escrow account.
If you have poor credit or zero funds to purchase a home, you have other options other than rent-to-own contracts. Call us for a free consultation to learn about your options.
We've been helping customers afford the home of their dreams for many years and we love what we do.

Window 8 display problem after installing guest additions

I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview (64-bit) build 8250 and it was working fine until i installed guest additions (4.1.10). I rebooted after installing just as the installer suggested, but afterwards there seems to be some display problems.
When booting up I can see the Win8 logo and the loader animation initially, but by the time windows should display the home screen it's just a black page. Sometimes it flickers a bit but then back to black page again.
My host OS is Windows7 (64-bit).

It fixed WMP and WinSAT issues for me.
comment:3 Changed 7 years ago by par
Installed guest additions 4.1.11-76937 as mentioned by Andre and it seems to have solved the display problem that I experienced before.
Windowed mode seems ok but fullscreen mode gets a black screen. If using fullscreen i can get it to draw correctly only for "active" areas, for example if i have the desktop open i will see a black screen, if i right click to open the context menu i will then see the context menu being drawn correctly but everything around it is still black. If i left-click on the desktop to get the "selection rectangle" everything within the rectangle will be drawn correctly.
Maybe this should be considered as a separate issue though.

I have installed Win8 Consumer Preview (64-bit) (build 8250) on Win7 SP1 (64-bit) host. My VirtualBox version is 4.1.12r77245
I am also having the flicker issue. This happens when I move the mouse pointer. None of the following VBoxGuestAdditions worked for me:
I was able to install the following VBoxGuestAdditions (disabling the Direct 3D option):
The issue seems to be with the Direct 3D option during the installation. The 4.1.8 version gives you the option to disable this option during the installation. Higher versions do not give you this option.

Same problem exists on Windows8 final. After Installation of Guest Additions - you could not navigate or open the desktop ....
comment:6 Changed 7 years ago by misha
Please try the latest VBox 4.2 with 4.2 Guest Additions.
If the problem is still there, please attach a VM log file from VBox 4.2 + 4.2 additions here.
Also, as a work-around for the case the problem still persists, you can disable 3D acceleration in VM settings (on a "Display" page in VM settings GUI).

I tested it with 4.2.2. and Windows 8 final. The issue is still there only when working in full screen mode. Other modes work fine.
Are there any solutions or workarounds yet for this?
Thanks in advance.

I got also a black screen after a period of time. Virtual Box (4.3.10) switches to 1-bit mode. I supposed, it's Windows (8.1) turning off the display according to the energy saving options. Therefore I turned of 'turning off the display' and since then I didn't experienced any black screen anymore. That's not a solution but a work around. But if it helps for the time being ...

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.

A little while ago I did a haul on Adambeauty.com for some Esprique make up! Esprique is a Japanese brand, and used to be Esprique Precious before it was upgraded to a sleeker, black look. The range is in the mid-high price range and is aimed at older women (as in not teenagers) but they're not boring either!
I bought an eyeshadow palette (Blend Dimensional Eyes Deep) in B-3 which is an unusual pink brown palette and a Mellow Forming Rouge Lipstick in PK 811.
I like how these cosmetics come nicely sealed – I feel like I know no one has tampered with it!
The eyeshadow palette is part of the 'deep' range because the shade on the right had side is 'deep' – there is also a range that looks the same packaging wise but has a highlight colour instead in the right hand side and is more of a 'glow' palette. You know I love colour and smokey eyes so it had to be deep!
The texture of this eyeshadow is quite soft and creamy, it's medium pigmented with shimmer; it is in truth like a lot of Japanese eyeshadow palettes out there.
Pink used to look cute on me [so a boy once said], but maybe it's the lack of sleep at the moment – cos the pink looks a bit urgh.
The lipstick also comes in a glow (sheer) version and a colour version which is more pigmented. This glow lipstick is really really really lovely. The texture is watery and creamy, it leaves the most beautiful plumping shine on the lips and the right amount of pigment. Gorgeous!
The only thing is that it is dear (around £20) and being a skinny tube you won't get much product. It's also VERY squishy – don't swivel too much of the product out!
I love the lipstick very much, the eyeshadow is just ok, if I see an interesting colour combo I would get another one because the texture is quite nice but this one doesn't quite do it for me.
What do you think of Esprique?

Danny Graham's late equaliser for Swansea denies Aston Villa in lively draw
Danny Graham's injury-time strike broke Aston Villa's hearts to salvage a point for Swansea in a lively 2-2 draw.
Last Updated: 01/01/13 5:48pm
After three successive defeats, the visitors seemed set for some rare Christmas joy as they hit back from conceding early on and Christian Benteke converted his spot-kick five minutes from the end to take the lead.
But in the closing stages of injury time, Michael Laudrup's men were rewarded after a barrage of attacks as Graham powered in from six yards to stun Paul Lambert's battlers.
Villa might be grateful for the point after enduring a torrid opening 20 minutes when they were blown away in every department, conceding early on and Michu twice hitting the post.
However, having climbed back off the canvas so impressively in the second half, this will feel like a loss as they remain perilously above the drop zone, two points above 18th-placed Southampton who have games in hand.
Few would have predicted the late drama though after a breath-taking and brutal start to this encounter as the hosts ripped through an edgy and limp Villa side.
Wayne Routledge had already wasted a golden opportunity, denied by the legs of keeper Brad Guzan when clean through, but the 27-year-old soon made amends on nine minutes with a cool finish.
Pablo Hernandez threaded the ball through from the halfway line and Routledge skipped around the keeper before tucking in the opener from a tight angle.
Arriving in Wales having conceded 15 times in three defeats over a miserable festive period, Villa's team was the youngest ever starting eleven in the Premier League - an average of 23 years and 119 days - and the nerves were all too evident.
Defenders Ciaran Clark and Chris Herd were dragged all over the place and with panic setting in, the hosts almost doubled the lead straight from the kick-off as top scorer Michu blasted against the left post.
The sea of white continued to roll forward and again Michu was cursing the woodwork after being set up by a flowing move involving Ashley Williams and Routledge on the left.
Signs that Swansea were taking their feet off the gas were slowly appearing, exemplified by Routledge's sloppy attempts at a double drag back inside his own box.
And after 43 minutes of being utterly outplayed and restricted to a pair of long-range efforts, the visitors secured a shock equaliser.
The damage was caused by Benteke as the industrious striker set up Andreas Weimann with a clever through-ball, leaving the lively Austrian winger to out-fox Williams and power the ball in under the arms of Michel Vorm.
Reinvigorated Villa continued their good work after the break with more verve and, more importantly, improved organisation at the back, while Benteke and Weimann proved a menace pushing forward.
It was enough for the increasingly concerned Laudrup to try to boost his spluttering midfield with the introduction of Nathan Dyer and Kemy Agustien, but his plan back-fired.
Dyer heroically headed Benteke's header off the line, only to clumsily hack down Weimann and give away a penalty seconds later.
Benteke hammered in his spot-kick (85) and three crucial points appeared to be heading to the west Midlands.
Back came Swansea with a late surge and after a goal-mouth scramble, Graham slammed the ball in to leave the hosts' bench jumping ecstatically, while Lambert watched on with his head in his hands.

You can look at the translated .po files to see if a string is present and has been translated. For example, here's a portion of l10n/de/messages/kdebase/konqueror.po:
#: konq_mainwindow.cc:3707 konq_tabs.cc:84 msgid "&New Tab" msgstr "Neues &Unterfenster"
The string to be translated is given on the msgid line. The translated string is on the msgstr line. Notice that the exact same string to translate came from konq_mainwindow.cc and also from konq_tabs.cc. This saves the translators from having to translate the same identical string twice.
You can also use Lokalize to examine .po files. Lokalize is part of the kdesdk module.
|More information on writing and translating documentation can be found on the l10n project site.

Ok, we're finally going to get to talk about drawings, or "draft" as you all say in this neck of the woods. For those of you who don't use Synchronous, and I know that's a fair number, you get a little reprieve from me always going on and on about it. Draft tools are mostly the same for Synchronous and Ordered parts.
I need to start out with a disclaimer. While I have done a good bit of fixture assembly design in 2D early in my career, once I hit 3D, I tried very hard not to go back. I recognize that probably most of you use 2D as much as you use 3D, but my background has been different.
Designing complex shaped plastic parts left me spending most of my time in 3D, with 2D being reserved for getting mold quotes, and communicating things like overall dimensions, material vendor, surface finish, and assembly methods. After a couple of weeks in 3D, it would be excessive if I spent more than a couple hours in 2D.
Being rather new to drawings in Solid Edge, a couple of things strike me right out of the gate. The first is that this really looks like a program where 2D wasn't an afterthought. In other programs, I get the sense that the draft environment is really tacked on as a method to annotate views of 3D parts and assemblies. And to be sure, that's what this stuff is supposed to do, but Solid Edge feels like it was built from the start to annotate views of 3D AND create standalone 2D drawings.
Sketching has its own tab, which includes blocks, and the interface doesn't appear to be afraid of "the grid". This is a very 2D kind of thing. 2D is nothing to be ashamed of. It's a necessary part of the process.
When I started in 3D design in 1995, I was using Mechanical Desktop on top of AutoCAD 13. In that arrangement, 3D was the afterthought, and 2D was still the main driver. Then I moved to SolidWorks where 3D was the main driving idea, and 2D was the afterthought. All the salesmen were telling us 2D was going away. It took that software many years to get up to par on 2D, and now I can see why Solid Edge has always had the reputation for having better 2D tools, although it may be time to update some of those tools.
One thing I expected to see in Solid Edge was a more Windows-like interface for text control. The Text Box Properties is pretty 1990's. The floating box to the right, captured from MS Word 2010 is more Windows-like, more compact, more modern, and more streamlined.
Yes, I'm aware that making things more Windows-like may not be exactly fashionable at the moment, given the very real decline of the Windows OS and desktop computing in general, but this is another place where I'd like to give the Solid Edge team some kudos – for recognizing the difference between personal computing fads and professional/business computing realities.
At least Microsoft does have an interface philosophy which most engineering staff understand. The old dialog boxes are really showing their age. As long as we get burdened with the modernity of "the Ribbon", we ought to also be able to benefit from the floating toolbars. I've never used Solid Edge without the ribbon, but I know I dislike it in programs like MS Office, where I used to know how to do everything I needed to know how to do, but then suddenly, they shuffled the deck on me without any real benefit. In fact, I keep a copy of Office 2003 on my home computer because it does what I need, and is easier to use with the familiar interface. I've heard some Solid Edge customers howl about the ribbon (looking at you Mileti).
Another thing that strikes me about Solid Edge draft is that the Layers and Groups controls are so accessible. Coming from a background where groups and "select all" are considered recent innovations, Solid Edge on the other hand seems to want to make the user at home when using 2D type functionality.
Also impressive is the ability to pull in to the drawing dimension from both Ordered and Synchronous models. Regardless how you made your models, your drawings still should look the same, and they do.
One thing that I know freaks people out about the scheme of 3D parts driving 2D drawings is that sometimes you just want to make sure that your drawing views stay the same no matter what. With that in mind, it's great to see the Inactivate Drawing Views option on the Tools tab. This just gives people who want it the peace of mind that their views do not change on them in their sleep.
Tables figure rather prominently in the interface, and it even promises Diagrams. Diagrams will be the topic of my next article. Purely 2D, using a lot of blocks. I may need some help with this, so if anyone wants to volunteer some assistance, please drop me a line.
"I've heard some Solid Edge customers howl about the ribbon (looking at you Mileti)"
I know how much you love me! The problem is the "MS F'fluent GUI Ribbon Bar, or whatever you may call it, was designed for Word Processing or Spreadsheets in mind. I'm not sure anyone has ever done a study, but my guess is that when writing a document, you spend 80% of your time typing or doing a handful of simple commands. However with CAD you're probably using 90% of your time dealing with GUI and NOT simply typing in words or numbers. And the range of commands can be extremely varied on a minute to minute basis. Everything from Sketching with dimensioning, then creating Solids or Surfaces, and then back again. Then add to that the numerous Environments within Solid Edge, Assembly, Sheet Metal, Parts, etc, all with different commands, tools, and layouts as well as 2 versions for Ordered (history) and Sync.
But I would hope that ALL MY BITCHING about the F'fluent GUI has influenced SE Development to create things such as the Radial Menu... I'm not taking any credit, since I would never have thought of such a clever menu/tool, but trying to shut me up can cause folks to become very motivated and quite creative.
And since my Doctors have out ruled Tinnitus I'm convinced the "ringing in my right ear" is due to my name coming up in those Solid Edge Development meetings down in Huntsville. And it's not because I sit with my right ear facing South West either.
Anyway. I think the progress made over the past few years to reduce the most annoying aspects within the F'fluent GUI has been overcome. Are they done.... As you point out many of the Pop-Up dialog boxes are long in the tooth and need cleaning up. But most importantly we need to RID SE of pull down menus.
Here's one of my favorite examples of abusing the Pull Down Menu....
So don't tell me it's to save SPACE
Watch how much clicking is needed to use this tool... http://screencast.com/t/y0AdK2GTKLA
There needs to be a rule... NEVER EVER USE a pull down menu unless there is not enough space to use Radio Buttons or individual commands.
Here's another example of poorly designed Pull Down Menu... Solid Edge gives you the choice to use 3 distinct types of Dimensions... Horizontal/Vertical, Point To Point, and By a chosen Axis. During dimensioning, I use all 3... but having to deal with the PDM is a time waster.
It needs to be updated to have Radio Buttons like this:
I can go on... but I think you get my point!
