When asked to analyze or "explicate" a poem, it is a good idea to read the poem several times before starting to write about it (usually, they are short, so it is worth the time). Remember that no one was born reading a book of poetry, but that it is a learned skill that gets easier with practice.
I read once to determine the literal meaning of the poem.
I read the poem again and then try to paraphrase it in a few sentences, in my own words. A good paraphrase is very close to what the poem says literally, without reference to the uses of figurative language or other poetic devices.
Based upon my general sense of the poem, I think about a strategy for approaching the poetic elements, or non-literal strategies used in the poem. Although most good poets use several strategies at the same time, usually one dominates in a particular poem. For instance, does the poet get his or her point across primarily by relying on treatment of a particular theme? Does the poet rely upon development of a particular set of figurative language? Does the poet make a point by using a particular structure? Upon rhyme and meter? If possible, mark what you notice, in pencil, on the poem itself to indicate interesting features and details which may be worth discussing.
Next, I construct a "reading" or explication of the poem, based upon what I have observed. There is no one "correct" reading of a poem; many readings are possible. But there are readings that are better than others. The best readings are strongly supported by evidence gleaned while reading the text closely. The best readings take into account all of the evidence in the poem. A reading that ignores evidence that contradicts the reading is a poor reading.
When writing in response to an assignment, keep in mind the constraints put upon you by the assignment itself and the actual questions you are answering. A written analysis of a poem should not simply paraphrase it, although the analysis may include paraphrase.
The following are questions you can ask about any poem you encounter. Remember, however, that not all of the questions will apply to every poem you read, and also that you do not have to write about every answer to every question.
Who is the speaker? Is it the poet or a character/persona the poet takes on? What is the tone of voice adopted? Can you detect any irony? How precisely is the speaker defined? (Note: You should refer to the speaker as "the speaker" and not as "the poet," even if the voice seems to be the poet's own.
Who is the speaker's audience? Does the audience help to define the speaker?
What is the poem's literal meaning?
What is the poem's theme? Is the theme stated explicitly or implicitly?
What is the poem's structure? Does it develop in a straightforward manner to a logical conclusion? Is there a shift or turn in its development? How is the shift indicated? Why does a shift take place?
How is the poem organized? How does its organization contribute to the development of the poem's subject or theme?
What is the poem's meter? How does it contribute to the development of the poem's subject or theme? Are there any strategic points where the poem breaks with its rhyme scheme? Why?
What is the poem's rhyme scheme? How does it contribute to the development of the poem's subject or theme? Is there any evidence of internal rhymes, slant rhymes, etc?
Do the lines end with a completion of a thought or closed punctuation (i.e., are they end-stopped)? Or do the lines flow without pause, from one to the next (i.e., are they enjambed)? If enjambed, does it occur from one couplet to the next, one quatrain to the next, etc?
How would you characterize the poem's language or diction ? What effect does this choice of language have on your response to the poem and its speaker?
What imagery is developed in the poem? Does the poet use metaphor, simile, personification, etc? Does he/she use symbolism? Considering the poem's subject matter, are these images obvious ones, or are they unusual and unexpected? Do they contribute to the poem's subject or theme? If so, how?
Is there any evidence of repetition, alliteration, onomatopoeia, or other sound effects in the poem? What do they contribute?
Is there any significance to the placement of words in the poem? Is the rhythm of any particular words or lines noteworthy?
An allegory is a narrative in which all (or most) of the events, locales, and characters correspond systematically to the events and characters in a completely different context. Some elaborate allegories can have several sets of correspondences simultaneously. The contexts within which the correspondences operate can include religious, moral, political, personal, or satiric.
AllusionAn allusion is a figure of speech that makes a brief reference to a historical or literary figure, event, or object.
A popular oral poetic (and later written) form that relates a dramatic episode or story, often set to music and usually written in ballad meter, or fourteeners (a tetrameter line followed by a trimeter line, giving fourteen syllables total). Ballads often have refrains, which are stanzas that repeat. Some refrains change slightly each time they are repeated; these are called incremental refrains.
Diction is the term used to refer to the poet's choice of words in a poem. Words vary in their levels of abstraction, and we can speak of words as being concrete or abstract. Words also vary in their formality, and some genres, such as epic and tragedy, call for use of elevated rather than colloquial or plain language. Words also have specific or direct definitions (denotations), as well as implied meanings (connotations) associated with their use. Connotations as well as denotations of words can vary in meaning historically and geographically.
An epic is a long, narrative poem whose hero is a noble person, upon whose actions hinge the fate of a nation or a people. Conseqently, epics tend to be of national or even of cosmic importance. The diction of the poem tends to be formal, elevated, and decorous. The setting of the epic is expansive and even global, as the hero embarks upon journeys that may take place over many years, often decades. The gods, referred to as the epic machinery, are interested in and take an active part in shaping the events of the epic. Several epic conventions include the poet's invocation of the muse, a beginning in medias res (in the middle of things), epic battles and/or epic games), catalogues (of ships, warriors, horses, etc), delivery of set speeches, arming of the warrior, performance of religious rituals, and (sometimes) transmogrification of a dead hero to the celestial sphere.
Figurative language occurs whenever a poet uses words in ways that deviate from their usual meaning. A metaphor is a comparison between two things that are otherwise unrelated. A simile is a kind of metaphor that uses like or as in the comparison. A mixed metaphor occurs when the metaphor used produces an incongruous or impossible image; such metaphors are often unintentionally funny. Metonymy occurs when the name of one thing is replaced by the name of something closely associated with it. Synechdoche occurs when a part of something is used to describe the whole. Overstatement (hyperbole) may be used to exaggerate what is being described; understatementdescribes something as less than it is. Both can be used ironically. Personification occurs when a non-human animal, object, or abstraction is given human qualities. Apostrophe is a direct address to something not actually present or without actual human form; consequently, an apostrophe tends to personify its object. Onomatopoeia is used describe a word or words that sound like the thing they describe. A pun is a word that refers to two very different meanings simultaneously. A paradox is a statement that simultaneously contradicts itself and makes sense.
Form refers to the overall design of a poem, including the patterning of its rhyme, meter, and stanzas. Form can be open in form or closed (highly structured). Blank verse is verse written in unrhymed iambic pentameter; it is the poetic form that is closest to spoken English. A couplet is two consecutive lines of poetry that rhyme. An heroic couplet consists of two rhyming lines of iambic pentameter. A tercet has three rhyming lines. A quatrain has four. Common closed forms include the sonnet, limerick, villanelle, sestina,odes, and ballad.
Imagery refers to words used to evoke a sensory experience, including sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Consequently, although image seems to refer to something that can be seen, imagery is also the term used to describe anything in a poem that appeals to the senses. Euphony refers to words that sound harmonious together. Cacophony refers to words that jar against one another.
Irony is a way of speaking that implies a discrepancy between what is said and what is meant, or between what appears to happen and what actually happens. Ironic speech consists of saying one thing and meaning another. Verbal irony occurs when the actual words used are ironic. Dramatic irony arises from the situation; frequently, this occurs when the audience knows or understands something that the characters in a drama do not. Cosmic irony occurs when an outside force, such as fate, seems to be operating despite the best efforts or intentions of the speaker or a character.
Limericks are (usually humorous) poems consisting of five anapestic lines that rhyme aabba; the a-lines are written in anapestic trimeter, whereas the b-lines are written in anapestic dimeter.
Line refers to the way in which the poet decides where to stop and start a line of poetry. An end-stopped line ends with some kind of punctuation. An enjambed line ends without punctuation, though usually, in reading it, the reader will pause slightly.
A lyric is a brief poem that expresses private thoughts and emotions, originally set to music (lyric is derived from the lyre, a musical instrument Greek poets used to accompany recitation). Ballads, sonnets, and odes are all forms of lyric poetry.
Meter, rhyme, and subject together are used to identify form in poetry. Often, deviations from the expected form are more important to the poet's artistry than a poem's regularity.
Personification is a kind of figurative language in which a non-human object, animal, or abstraction is given human qualities.
Meter, rhyme, and subject are used to identify form in poetry. Often, deviations from the expected form are more important to the poet's artistry than a poem's regularity. A rhyme scheme is the overall pattern of rhyme in a poem. A pair of rhymed lines is called a couplet. Alliteration refers to the repetition of similar consonant sounds. Repeated consonant sounds at the beginning of words is called initial alliteration. Repeated consonant sounds in the middle or at the ends of words is called internal alliteration. Repetition of vowel sounds is called assonance. Although definitions differ, slant rhyme can be said to occur in near rhymes (for instance, cat and cot, but not cat and coat). Consonance is a repetition of consonant sounds. A line is said to have a masculine ending when the line ends with a stressed syllable (either a one syllable word, or a word of multiple syllables with emphasis on the last syllable). A line is said to have a feminine ending when the line ends on an unstressed syllable.
A sestina is a form written in six six-line stanzas. The end words in the first stanza are also the end words of the other stanzas, but they occur in a different order in each stanza, often following a fixed pattern. In the final envoy (last three lines) of the poem, the six end words are repeated again in any order.
A sonnet is a closed poetic form that consists of 14 lines of iambic pentameter. Because Italian is an easier language to rhyme than English, Petrarchan (Italian) sonnets have tighter rhyme schemes than Shakespearean (English) sonnets. Petrarchan (Italian) sonnets rhyme abba abba cdcdcd (with some variation in the last six lines). Shakespearean ( Engish) sonnets rhyme abab cdcd efef gg (with some variation). Sonnets may be structured as an octave and a sestet or as three stanzas of four lines, followed by a couplet. Structure and meaning often intersect in the sonnet; a Shakespearean sonnet often changes the direction of its argument in the 9th line or 11th line.
A symbol is an object or action that carries with it meaning that goes beyond the object or action itself. Symbols are often specific to a particular culture rather than universally recognized. Allegory makes extensive use of symbolism to work on several levels at once.

Kansas City MO Dog Bite Law: Child, 5, Violently Mauled By Three Rottweilers
Kansas City, MO—A boy remained hospitalized on his fifth birthday, Monday, August 1, 2010, the day after he was viciously mauled by a group of Rottweilers Sunday. The violent dog attack occurred around 2:30 a.m. in a house located in the 3500 block of Terrace Street, according to information provided by NBC Action News.
Reports indicated the unidentified child's mother, whose identity was also withheld, went to clean a house and brought her son along with her. At some point during the job, she fell asleep. It was only in the early hours of the morning that she seemingly heard the commotion in another room.
The mother apparently grabbed her severely wounded son and ran across the street to seek aid from neighbor Dave Haggard. "I saw a woman I had never seen before with a limp child in her arms covered in blood," Haggard said, noting that the child had "huge puncture wounds all over his legs."
The child was rushed to Children's Mercy Hospital to be treated for his severe injuries. A physician at the medical center even reportedly told police that the boy's wounds were the worst he had ever seen, as a result of an animal attack.
While the owner of the Rottweilers responsible for the brutal attack could not be reached for comment, friend John Davis alleged he was very shaken by the episode. "Anytime a small child gets hurt like this, no one wants to see that so," Davis said.
Animal Control officers detained the dogs after the incident and eventually euthanized. David Park of the Community Service Department, who made the decision to have the dogs put down, reviewed photos of the child's injuries and spoke with neighbors and the dogs' veterinarian prior to doing so.
The owner's request to keep one dog was denied after a city records revealed that it had attacked another woman in 2007.
"Deciding to destroy a dog is a hard decision but I'd certainly hate to release the dogs and have it happen again," Park said.
The dog attack remains under investigation.

Shreveport LA Injury News: Beach Gathering Ends With Drowning of Six Teens


Gamers, brace for an entertaining 2019 as a new video game is on its way. Ion Maiden is a Voidpoint-authored first-person shooter video game which promises to be one heck of a game if anything from the game trailers is to go by. This, therefore, means you may have to enjoy your slots online intensively in these last few days of 2018 before you start your Ion Maiden adventure in 2019. Just so you are well prepared for Ion Maiden when it comes, here is all the information you need to know about the game, its gameplay, plot. and development.
Ion Maiden is a game set to be released in 2019 by Voidpoint; 3D Realms is publishing the game. The game is a first person shooter, meaning that players will be involved in the thick of the action. Reports suggest that the game is a prequel to Bombshell. Ion Maiden is set to make its fair share of history as it will become the first game to utilize the Ken Silverman's Build engine in nearly twenty years. The last game to use Ken Silverman's Build engine was World War II GI.
The aim of Voidpoint and 3D Realms is to make Ion Maiden a game which caters to the needs of all gamers and as such, they will roll out the game across many platforms. At this point, we know that Ion Maiden will be available on Windows, Linux, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch.
It's a tale of the good guys fighting the bad guys: The player will assume the role of Shelly Harrison, a bomb disposal expert who is on the side of the good guys. Shelly works for the Global Defense Force. Intel reaches Global Defense Force that the leader of a transhumanist cult, Dr. Jadus Heskel is planning to unleash an army of cybernetically enhanced soldiers on the city of Neo DC. This is a huge threat to the city and as such, the Global Defense Force as the guardians of the city seek to avert the danger. The Global Defense Force gives Shelly the task of leading the team that will fight against Dr. Heskel. The unfortunate part is that by the time the Intel reaches the Global Defense Force, Dr. Heskel has already unleashed some cybernetically enhanced soldiers onto the streets of Neo DC, thus Shelly also has to face and fight these soldiers.
Ion Maiden is a single player video game. As the game is just making its debut, odds are, in later installments the game developers may incorporate multiplayer function in one way or another to make the game more social, hence more appealing and entertaining.
The programmers include Richard Gobeille, Evan Ramos, Jonathan Strander and Alex Dawson. The designers of the game are Vitally Bondarenko, Jarmo Kylmäaho, Leonardo Pellegrini and Max Yiitalo. The artists are Aleksander Kowalczyk, Arturo Pahua and Fox Martins. Game composers are Jarkko Rotsten and Jonathan Hyde.

Relativity Space to launch 3D-printed rockets from Cape Canaveral
The three-year-old startup has won Air Force approval to launch Terran 1 rockets from Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 16 as soon as 2020.
Relativity Space to launch 3D-printed rockets from Cape Canaveral The three-year-old startup has won Air Force approval to launch Terran 1 rockets from Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 16 as soon as 2020. Check out this story on floridatoday.com: https://www.floridatoday.com/story/tech/science/space/2019/01/17/relativity-launch-rockets-cape-canaveral/2603166002/
James Dean, Florida Today Published 12:20 p.m. ET Jan. 17, 2019 | Updated 5:16 p.m. ET Jan. 17, 2019
See how Relativity Space, launching from Cape Canaveral soon, 3D prints its rocket engines. Relativity Space
A startup developer of low-cost, 3D-printed rockets that could one day be made on Mars aims to join Cape Canaveral's launch fleet at soon as late 2020.
Los Angeles-based Relativity Space has won approval from the Air Force's 45th Space Wing to fly its 100-foot-tall Terran 1 rocket from Launch Complex 16, the company announced Thursday.
Initial missions will deploy and replenish constellations of small satellites, but the three-year-old company founded by young former Blue Origin and SpaceX engineers has longer-term ambitions to support colonies living off of the Earth.
"Fundamentally, we're creating the first autonomous platform to build the future of humanity in space," Tim Ellis, the company's 28-year-old co-founder and CEO, told FLORIDA TODAY. "We're very excited to be joining the Space Coast."

Relativity hopes to sign a 20-year agreement granting it exclusive use of Launch Complex 16, a former Titan and Pershing missile site also used by NASA's Gemini and Apollo programs. It was deactivated in 1988.
The company plans to spend more than $10 million to renovate the pad, build payload processing and integration hangars and install fuel and lightning protection systems.
It's not yet known how many jobs will be based in Florida. The company has grown from 14 to 60 people over the past year, adding experience with a dozen former senior executives of existing Cape launchers SpaceX, Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance.
Relativity's Space Coast commitment follows competitor Rocket Lab's decision to establish a U.S. launch site at Wallops Island, Virginia, citing concerns about busy launch traffic on the Eastern Range.

Ellis said new technologies like automated self-destruct systems for rockets, plus regulatory improvements now in the works, should allow many more rockets to launch from Florida with fewer range conflicts or disruptions to air space.
That helped make the Cape the company's clear top choice.
"It's where our customers are used to launching, it's where we feel the most elite private space companies are launching and going to continue launching," he said. "So we're just very honored to join the Cape and Space Coast, because of the credibility that it brings with it, and all of the existing infrastructure and talent base, too."

Another potential competitor aiming to launch small satellites, Firefly Aerospace, is expected to confirm plans to fly from Cape Canaveral, at Launch Complex 20.
A relatively low-key startup until now, Relativity has raised $45 million from Silicon Valley venture capitalists. It has not disclosed customers, but says it has letters of interest worth $1 billion in business.
Before choosing a launch site, Relativity arranged to test its methane-fueled Aeon engines — nine of which will power the Terran 1's first stage along with one powering the upper stage — at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.
Ellis, who testified before the U.S. Senate's space subcommittee in 2017, is the youngest member of an industry group advising the National Space Council led by Vice President Mike Pence.
Relativity's rockets are on the larger side of a crowded field being developed to launch smaller satellites. The Terran 1 can deliver about 2,800 pounds to low Earth orbit, or roughly the equivalent of a Fiat 500 car, for a price of $10 million.
That capability, combined with Relativity's goal to revolutionize the way rockets are designed and built with automation and 3D printing, set the company apart, Ellis said.

Relativity has invented what Ellis said is the largest metal 3D printer in the world, called Stargate. The technology promises to build rockets with 100 times fewer parts and to reduce manufacturing time by months — eventually to within 60 days.
While SpaceX works to establish a human settlement on Mars, Ellis said Relativity's "ultimate vision" is to be the first company to 3D-print a rocket on the Red Planet.
Colonists there will want to send goods back to Earth, and before that will need a company to make spare parts, housing and transportation infrastructure.
"That's really where we see automation and 3D printing going together with rockets in the future, is that we will be able to be that company," said Ellis.
Ellis, who planned to study screenwriting at the University of Southern California before pursuing aerospace engineering instead, said he enjoys engineering's blend of creativity and physics and having a "tenacious approach" to a business plan.
Relativity's plan seeks to ensure that "what we're doing is a stretch and leads to something greater than what we're doing today, but that it also will actually happen in reality," he said. "It's not just dreaming."

GateHouse: Contempt of Congress: Where do we go from here?
The House Judiciary Committee voted 24-16 to recommend the House hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena seeking an unredacted copy of Robert Mueller's report. The vote came after President Donald Trump asserted executive privilege to prevent the unredacted report from going to Congress.
Congressional rules empower all committees with the authority to compel witnesses to appear and testify or produce documents for matters being investigated by a Congressional committee.
In 1961, the Supreme Court ruled that a Congressional committee must meet three requirements for a valid enforceable subpoena. First, the committee's investigation must be authorized by a chamber congress; second, the investigation must pursue "a valid legislative purpose;" and third, the specific inquiries must be pertinent to the subject matter that has been authorized for investigation.
Once the threshold is met, Congress has three options to enforce a subpoena. First, Congress' inherent contempt power provides constitutional authority to detain and imprison an individual until that person complies with the subpoena. The last time Congress used its inherent contempt powers was in 1934 when the Senate held William MacCracken, a former member of Herbert Hoover's administration, after he refused a subpoena. According to the Washington Post, the Senate had nowhere to hold MacCracken so he was imprisoned at a hotel.
Second, Congress can pursue a criminal contempt citation through the executive branch seeking criminal prosecution for contempt. This is the most common method used by Congress. The person accused of contempt is charged with a misdemeanor punishable by a fine and up to a year in jail.
There are some practical concerns with this option. Where the official refuses to disclose information pursuant to the president's decision that such information is protected under executive privilege, it is unrealistic that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will pursue a prosecution for criminal contempt. More to the point, under the current facts the DOJ would be asked to prosecute its boss, the attorney general.
Finally, Congress may rely on the courts to enforce a congressional subpoena. Under this option, Congress may seek a civil judgment from a federal court declaring that the individual in question is legally obligated to comply with the congressional subpoena.
A number of obstacles face Congress in any attempt to enforce a subpoena issued to the Attorney General, an executive branch official. Congress may be able to enforce its subpoena through a civil lawsuit; however, relying on this option to enforce a subpoena directed at the attorney general may be inadequate to protect the authority of Congress due to the time required to achieve a final court ruling.
The two most recent court cases seeking to enforce a Congressional subpoena involved former Attorney General Eric Holder in 2012 and former White House counsel Harriet Miers in 2008. According to a 2017 report from the Congressional Research Service, "(B)oth conflicts ended the same way: The contempt charge was stuck in a court battle for so long that a new president and Congress were elected and new administration officials took office along with them."
Trump's blanket claim of executive privilege appears to be an effort to shield Barr from contempt. Essentially, the president is saying the redacted aspects of the report are privileged and Barr cannot turn them over to Congress.
Trump's efforts parallel Richard Nixon's unsuccessful effort to prevent his White House Counsel, John Dean, from testifying pursuant to a subpoena from the Watergate special prosecutor.
According to Michael Conway - a former counsel to the House Judiciary Committee - like Nixon, Trump is trying to use an expansive claim of executive privilege to thwart a legitimate Congressional investigation.
Trump seems to be prepared to do as Nixon did in 1973. Conway wrote on the NBC News website, "Nixon predicted that the Senate would question his claim of executive privilege if Dean were required to testify. If that occurred, Nixon said 'we'll let it go to the (Supreme) Court. Fight it like hell.'"

A Primer of Darwinism and Organic Evolution
By Joseph Young Bergen, Fanny Dickerson Bergen
foraminifera are microscopic animals, mere bits of jelly, living in the sea, which produce many forms of beautiful microscopic shells. It is of these shells that common chalk is mainly composed. Even more remarkable is the amount of variation found in one group of sponges, of which Haeckel (the highest living authority in regard to this very group) remarks, –
"Just in proportion as the systematizer takes the ideas of genus, species, and varieties in a wider or narrower sense, he distinguishes in the little group of chalk-sponges, either only a single genus with three species, or three gerera with twenty-one species, or thirty-nine genera with two hundred and eighty-nine species, or even a hundred and thirteen genera with five hundred and ninety-one species. But all these diverse forms are so intimately connected by numerous transitions and intermediate forms, that the common descent of all the chalk-sponges from a single ancestral form, the olynthus, can be proved With certainty." 1
Few students of the life-history of the earth can have failed to dwell with extreme interest upon the story of the development of species from species told by the rocks at Steinheim in Würtemberg, Germany. Here was once a small lake; and in its waters grew countless little shell-fish, many of them water-snails like those of lakes and rivers at the present day. By the appropriation of the dissolved limestone in the waters of the lake, generation after generation of these snails built up their shells, only to let them fall to the bottom on the death of the little inhabitant. Year after year the sand deposited on the lake-bed carried down with it and buried myriads of the little shells, which have remained in a very perfect state of preservation to the present time. These have been most carefully studied by expert palæontologists from all parts of the world, and there is a general agreement among many of the most competent of these investigators as to the essential lesson of the deposits. The forms of the upper strata have been derived by descent with modification from those of the lower (and older) strata. It would seem, too, from the nature of the deposits, that the whole series must have been laid down pretty rapidly, and therefore that the remarkable variations presented by the snails must have taken place within a very short period, geologically speaking. And not only are the shells of the lowest layer in the whole series so different from those of the uppermost one that (if the intermediate forms of shell had not been discovered) they

would certainly be called different species; but there are many among the intermediate forms themselves, which, if they had been found separated from the others, would have been counted distinct species. The figures on page
to give some idea of the extraordinary amount of variation which these snails have undergone. The genealogy here suggested by Professor Hyatt is a hypothetical one, it is true, but founded upon an amount of investigation and a mass of evidence which must give his conclusions the greatest weight.
Each of the series I., II., III., IV., seems to have had its origin in the species which forms the lowest member of its column, i. e., Series I. from the form numbered 16, Series II. from No. 12, and so on. These original forms, 1, 8, 12, and 16 are all found in other deposits geologically older than those of Steinheim. It will be noticed at once that some of the series have developed much more freely than others. Series IV. seems to have met at Steinheim with extremely favorable conditions for its growth, and Series II. with unfavorable conditions. Each of the four family-trees here presented is shorn of all its minor twigs and branches, that is, very many intermediate forms actually occurring at Steinheim are, for simplicity's sake, omitted from the cut. The Steinheim beds themselves, with their interminable series of connecting links, binding together most widely divergent forms, furnish, indeed, an argument in favor of the hypothesis of speciesmaking by inherited variation which no series of illustrations, however full, can convey to the eye of the zoologist.
1 From a plate kindly loaned the authors by Professor Alpheus Hyatt.
Here, then, we have the record, preserved in that most trustworthy of all books, the book of nature, of the growth of a new species by gradual change from a former one ; unless, indeed, we prefer to suppose, that, for an indefinite number of times during the existence of the lake, the snails living at one period were killed off, and another lot created outright to take the place of the former generation. Evidently, to suppose this would be doing much as Voltaire did, when, in order to avoid the necessity for believing that the limestones of south-western Europe were originally formed beneath the waters of the sea, he claimed that the shells of which these lime

The Republican Establishment's 'Mike McQueary' moments
By Ben Barrack on August 6, 2012 in General
When Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary saw what appeared to be the penetration of a young boy by Jerry Sandusky in a shower in 2001, he saw evil. He punted when he told head coach Joe Paterno instead of going to police; Paterno knew evil had penetrated his program. He punted too, when he went to Athletic Director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz instead of to police. Curley and Schultz punted when Sandusky was let off the hook, a decision endorsed by president Graham Spanier, who essentially sealed the deal.
Each man had his own 'Mike McQueary' moment (MMM).
It was a moment of truth during which, individuals came face to face with evil and after which, they chose complicity with that evil over defeating it. With each passing day, those individuals implicated themselves further with their silence. They had chosen Sandusky's side in one respect; they all had a vested interest in preventing the evil truth from coming out because they were all implicated in suppressing it.
The jig was up in 2011 and Sandusky's defenders paid a price for not coming clean. It was made steeper by how much time had passed without them doing so. It was made much worse by them being found out instead of coming forward.
The heart of the U.S. Government was penetrated by evil too, beginning in at least 1992, when Abdurahman Alamoudi – a Muslim – began buying influence with both political parties. After Clinton was elected, Alamoudi landed a job with the State Department in 1997 as an Islamic affairs advisor. Based on his professed support for Hamas just a few years earlier, it was a 'Mike McQueary' moment for the political establishment.
Another MMM came in October of 2000, when Alamoudi stood on a stage outside the White House and referred to Bill Clinton by name while espousing – through a P.A. system – his support for both Hamas and Hezbollah:
It was as if the Clinton administration's inaction was a foreshadowing of McQueary's behavior. Right outside its window, the occupiers of the White House could see a man who had penetrated America's power centers via the State Department. It's important to keep in mind that establishment Republicans like Senator John McCain and Speaker John Boehner held seats in the Senate and the House, respectively at the time. Was it an MMM for them too?
In what is believed to be the same year that Alamoudi was cheering Hamas and Hezbollah outside the White House, he was also meeting with George W. Bush and Karl Rove, despite the concerns of intelligence officials, that Alamoudi had ties to Osama bin Laden and the "blind Sheikh," Omar Abdul-Rahman. This would mean that Bush agreed to meet with a man connected to individuals found to be responsible for both World Trade Center attacks, one of which had already taken place.
At that meeting, Karl Rove was handed a book entitled, The Cultural Atlas of Islam. It was authored by a man identified as a co-founder of two Muslim Brotherhood groups – The International Institute of Islamic Thought and the Association of Muslim Social Scientists of North America (AMSS). Was the book vetted? If so, it didn't stop meetings between Bush, Rove, and individuals tied to the Brotherhood, from taking place. 'Mike McQueary' moment?
In June of 2001, another individual who would eventually be convicted of charges related to funding terrorism – Sami al-Arian – met with Karl Rove at the White House as part of a 160-member delegation from the American Muslim Council, a group founded by… you guessed it, Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was also present. This was after Alamoudi pledged support for Hamas and Hezbollah outside the White House one year earlier. 'Mike McQueary' moment?
The Washington Post reported about the multiple warning signs available to the Bush administration prior to AMC's visit. Vice President Dick Cheney was scheduled to speak to the AMC but backed out after a Jerusalem Post article identified AMC as a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah; this demonstrates that the administration was not nearly as ignorant about who it had chosen to associate with. 'Mike McQueary' moment?
If none of those things served as 'Mike McQueary' moments, the violent penetration of America on September 11, 2001 did. One can imagine that the look on McQueary's face when he saw Sandusky with a young boy in that locker room shower wasn't much different than this:
Had the proper course been taken at Penn State, McQueary would have gone straight to police and Sandusky would have been summarily jettisoned from the University in handcuffs in 2001. There was a problem, however. An investigation conducted by Former FBI Director, Louis Freeh determined that Curley and Schultz became aware of Sandusky's penchant for young boys as early as 1998, when the mother of an 11-year old boy reported that an assault on her son had taken place in the shower. No charges were filed. In 2011, as the scandal was reaching critical mass, Schultz denied knowledge of the 1998 incident in an email he wrote in 2011.
Did knowledge of the 1998 incident contribute to the covering up of the 2001 incident? Dealing with Sandusky properly in 2001 would have involved very uncomfortable questions about the 1998 incident. As we now know, failure to deal with the 2001 incident properly involved a great deal more than uncomortable questions; Schultz lied about his knowledge of the 1998 incident. Does he wish he would have done in 1998 what he was unable to do in 2011, when such a decision was whisked from his control?
Six days after 9/11, George W. Bush stood with CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad inside a mosque and spoke of Islam in very peaceful terms. On September 26, 2001 Bush welcomed individuals with distinct Muslim Brotherhood ties into the White House. Among them was AMC president Yahya Basha, Salam Al-Marayati of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), and Muzammil Siddiqi, then president of the Brotherhood's Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
When Rove was confronted after the meeting about the decision to welcome such individuals into the White House, he allegedly said, "I wish I had known before the event took place."
That statement is as believable as Schultz's contention that he didn't know about the 1998 incident when he denied knowledge of it in 2011.
On October 12, 2001 George W. Bush did something Paterno, Schultz, Curley, and Penn State president Graham Spanier did a few months earlier; he identified a responsible party. One such party was the Rabita Trust, an entity that, even according to the United Nations, was involved in the "financing, planning, facilitating" activities of "Al-Qaida". Like Sandusky, the man who founded Rabita – Abdullah Omar Nasseef – has essentially escaped accountability. As the one time Secretary General for the Muslim World League, Nasseef led a group that is heavily financed by the Saudi government.
In February of 2002, Anwar al-Awlaki was allowed to penetrate the Department of Defense as an honored guest at a plush luncheon. CAIR Executive Director was one of the invitees. Later that year, al-Awlaki was detained at JFK airport after landing. Despite there being a warrant for his arrest, al-Awlaki was released. He eventually traveled to Yemen, where he inspired Fort Hood Jihadist, Nidal Malik Hassan, who would go on to murder 14 at the Texas Army post.
Interestingly, none other than Abdurahman Alamoudi helped to lay the groundwork for the increased presence of Muslim chaplains in the U.S. Military when he founded the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council (AMAFVAC) in 1991.
Jerry Sandusky founded The Second Mile and was able to penetrate young boys for years. One of the reasons he was able to do so was because those charged with stopping him chose instead, to implicate themselves by covering up his crimes. The Muslim Brotherhood continues to penetrate the U.S. Government for similar reasons.
The consequences for those who chose to cover up for Sandusky will be far less than those who have chosen to cover up the truth about the penetration of America by her enemies. The bad news is that there will be far more victims.
In any case, those in the Republican establishment who choose to close their eyes, ears, and mouths can be expected to utter words similar to those uttered by Joe Paterno when he finally realized it would have been much better had he come clean in 2001 than face a day of reckoning years later:
"It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."
It would seem, however, that the Republican Party establishment has had quite a few more 'Mike McQueary' moments than Penn State did.

Employers know all too well the risk of a discrimination claim, particularly because of the myriad ways employees are protected. Discrimination based on the language an individual speaks or doesn't speak (or the fluency with which he or she speaks it) may not sound like one of the protected classes you're familiar with, but it can be illegal. Language discrimination is a type of national origin discrimination.
Employers may require employees to speak English to the level required by a particular job, but they must avoid broad "English-only" rules. To avoid the appearance of discrimination, a requirement for employees to speak only English in the workplace must be supported by valid business reasons.
When the employee needs to communicate with customers, coworkers, or supervisors who speak only English. This doesn't mean you can require employees to speak English at all times simply because some workers don't speak another language. You may, however, require an employee to speak English when speaking directly to an employee who speaks only English.
In emergencies or other situations to promote safety. A rule requiring employees to speak a common language in the event of an emergency or when performing work in a particularly dangerous area of the workplace can be acceptable.
For cooperative work assignments when needed to promote efficiency. Requiring investigators to speak only English when working together to compile a report, for example, would not likely be problematic.
To enable a supervisor who speaks only English to monitor the performance of an employee whose job duties require communication in English. Requiring employees to speak only English with English-speaking coworkers and customers when a supervisor is present to monitor their work performance would be acceptable because it is narrowly tailored to promote the efficiency of business operations. The rule could not, however, apply to employees' casual conversations when they are not performing job duties.
Note that English-only rules during employees' breaks or meal periods will almost never be acceptable.
Like language in general, employers may not take accents into account unless they would seriously interfere with job performance. For instance, accent might matter if an employee worked in a role devoted to customer service and didn't speak clearly enough to be understood. Note that a customer having to ask for clarification or for the employee to repeat him/herself occasionally would not seriously interfere with job performance.
An accent could also create a problem where employees needed to communicate with one another to ward off dangerous situations. However, in most cases, an employer could establish acceptable communication methods to ensure an accent did not create confusion in safety-related situations.
Other employees might have to get used to a coworker's accent or occasionally ask him or her to repeat or explain, but such adjustments wouldn't seriously interfere with job performance.
The fact that other employees may feel uncomfortable being around employees who are speaking languages other than English also does not justify an English-only rule.

Q: Render < instead of < in ASP.NET I'm writing a small page to show the employees in our company. I've written a query to pull the info from our database. Then I'm binding that to a GridView to do the dirty work. Here is the query.
"SELECT tblEmpID.empid AS [Empl ID], tblEmpID.posno AS [Pos #], [name] & ""
""  &   [jcn] & ""("" & [jcc] & "")"" AS [Name/Job], [orgno] & "" - "" & [depname] AS Department, tblEmpID.[status] AS Status " & _
        "FROM tblEmpID " & _
        "ORDER BY [orgno] & "" - "" & [depname], tblEmpID.name "

As you can see, I'm trying to include a  inside the SQL so when it renders it will look like:
Name
Job Description

But when it renders it renders as
< and >

Effectively showing the
 in the record instead of formatting it like I want.
So how to I make it render like I want? I've already tried escaping the < with \ and that did not work.

EDIT: Thanks gfrizzle. Your answer set me down the right path. Also, thank you NYSystemsAnalyst. Your answer helped me think of a different way to do things in the future. Ultimately, I found a different solution. I put this code in the GridView1_RowDataBound event and it does what I need.
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
        Dim cells As TableCellCollection = e.Row.Cells

        For Each cell As TableCell In cells
            cell.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(cell.Text)
        Next
    End If

A: Try setting HtmlEncode="False" on the column in the GridView. That should stop it from encoding your markup.

A: If you are doing this for read-only purposes, you may want to consider using the repeater control.  Then, you can return those as separate fields, thereby eliminating the HTML from the SQL result set.  Then, you can use the ItemTemplate in the control to specify the HTML and exactly how you want the results to appear.  You can place them in a table, and use the BR tag.  This will look similar to a grid, but give you more control over the layout on the HTML / .aspx side.

New Year Honour for lockdown walking advocate
The former Interim Chief Executive of Living Streets has been awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) in the New Year Honours List 2022.
Jenni Wiggle is recognised for helping millions of people to walk more, particularly as part of the charity's walk to school programme, and for her response to the pandemic.
Jenni worked at Living Streets for eight years, during which time the charity supported over 1,500 primary schools and inspired half a million pupils and their families to walk to school. This has led to an estimated 11.5 million new walking journeys and a reduction of 1.7 million car kilometres for journeys to and from school.
Jenni stepped up to act as Interim Chief Executive in April 2020, guiding the charity through its most challenging moment as it sought to navigate the Covid-19 lockdown.
With the closure of primary schools, Jenni moved the charity's work online, launching a range of digital resources to encourage children and families to keep active. She ensured that the charity championed everyday walking throughout the pandemic as a way for people to remain active and tackle loneliness during lockdown.
Jenni was one of the few women in a senior position in the transport sector and was recognised at the Everywoman Awards and named Supporting Executive at the Charity Times Awards. She left Living Streets in late 2020 to return to her native New Zealand where she is currently an active transport and management consultant.
Jenni Wiggle said:
"I am incredibly humbled to be awarded this honour. It is a recognition I want to extend to the team at Living Streets past and present; staff, trustees and volunteers who work tirelessly and made my time with them so rewarding.
"Climate change and the pandemic have shown just how important walking and a good walking environment are for communities, our well-being and our planet. I am honoured to have been part of such a world leading organisation."
Stephen Edwards, Interim CEO, Living Streets said:
"Jenni's honour is richly deserved. Thanks to her, millions of people have been encouraged and enabled to enjoy the benefits that come from walking. Her strong leadership was vital to Living Streets' ongoing success. She generously supported colleagues and provided sound strategic advice throughout her years at Living Streets. This didn't falter in the face of the profound challenges presented to us by the pandemic. Her work ethic, warmth and astuteness ensured we continued our mission to achieve a better environment for walking and to inspire people to walk more."

Rosen apologizes over comments against Ann Romney
(CNN) - Hilary Rosen offered an apology Thursday after her comments about Ann Romney sparked an uproar and a debate over women and the economy.
"I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended," Rosen, a top Democratic strategist and CNN contributor, said in a statement. "Let's declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance."
The previous day, Rosen argued Ann Romney could not understand the struggles of women in the sluggish workforce because she "never worked a day in her life" as a stay-at-home mother.
Her comments quickly set off a spiraling controversy, as high-profile leaders on both sides of the aisle rushed to the defense of Ann Romney and that of women opting not to pursue their careers to solely focus on raising their children.
Read the full statement below:
"Let's put the faux 'war against stay at home moms' to rest once and for all. As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is. As a pundit, I know my words on CNN last night were poorly chosen. In response to Mitt Romney on the campaign trail referring to his wife as a better person to answer questions about women than he is, I was discussing his lack of a record on the plight of women's financial struggles. Here is my more fulsome view of the issues. As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers, all with plenty of children, gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day. I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended. Let's declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance."

@ John & Blake. You must have missed the point of her comment. She was stating that Romney was being foolish to get serious economic advice from his stay at home wife. Someone who has never had even the most basic of economic positions, a job. This isn't any kind of bashing of stay at home mothers. It's pathetic that people are trying to make this some kind of "dems against stay at home mothers."
MrScott
There are some, that should keep there mouth shut. Then, Democrats never learn...
TexDoc
I love all the liberals defending here on CNN. She apoligized, she knew what she said was wrong. She made the classic liberal mistake of speaking how she really feels. They can't win in the arena of ideas, because fundementally American's don't want a nanny state.
I bet the little piggy really got heat from the white house today. Hilary is just jealous she could never date anyone like Ann.
Really, Rmoney?
Look people, Ann is just a regular stay at home mom, like all the others. When she's not waiting for the car elevator repairman to show up she sometimes manages to sneak off for a relaxing couple hours away from the kids and nannies to ride the back 40 on her dressage horses. Really, she's just like you and me.
Female animals in the wild have lots of babies. They have to go out and hunt to feed their offspring. Many die doing it.
Ann Romney sits at home waiting on her husband's money so that she can decide what designer clothes to buy for her offspring.
Ann Romney has never worked a day in her married life to feed her kids. This is a fact.
Mike in NH
This is more of a faux apology about a real issue, than an apology over a faux issue.
Oh so typicla when a Dem steps in it. Ms Rosen at the site of a major crime would tell on lookers nothng to see here please move along.
Donald "ORANGE JULIUS" Trump
Do you know why Obama will win in November? Because he is married to Michele.
John Smyth
Goes to show that "operatives" will say anything.
They don't care about facts only the negative response.
Hilary spoke the TRUTH!
Anyone with common sense knows what she meant. She spoke the truth. I wonder how many nannies and house keepers helped Mrs. Romney raise those five boys.
itdawnedondawn
I am so offended by this comment. I stayed at home until I divorced. Work at home was much harder than in the workplace. The Romneys started out struggling and Ann made a choice. Obviously, it worked for them. They are prosperous and happy family. This comment hurts all women – and men – who choose to stay home and raise their family. Many can't make that choice now, but if more parents made that sacrifice, families would benefit in all ways. I would be proud to call Ann Romney my First Lady.
What kind of "strategist" thinks stay at home mothers don't vote?
This woman needs to rethink her career choice.
AZWoman
Ann may not have had financial concerns, but money does not remove any of the work that is required to raise children. It takes a lot more than money to raise children that grow up to be an asset to our country. Generations of Romney's worked to get what they have and I trust that both Mitt and Ann have instilled that into their children. I don't see any of them looking for a hand out and seem to be very successful.
K3Citizen
She shouldn't have to apologize because her statement wasn't cruel. Romney's wife is an obedient woman who stays home and pumps out children left and right. A Mormon woman's job is to make as many kids for their husbands as possible. Why do you think men were allowed to marry children?
"Let's declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance."
You should have been doing that in the first place. Remember, you started this war, not Ann Romney. You're supposed to be a "strategist", whatever that means. So why not focus your efforts on strategy for the Democratic party instead of stirring the pot with meaningless drivel?
Raising children, teaching them morals, suffering through their pains and struggles with them, and helping them to become productive members of society as they leave the nest and branch out into the world is not only hard but the most important job that any woman will ever have. All of these are required of mothers from any economic class or situation and are more important than any job that either father or mother could do outside the home.
Ann worked at home with the help of "housekeepers" (You remember Mittens – "we can't hire illegals, I'm running for President for God sake..." With housekeepers, you can take naps throughout the day while breakfast, lunch and dinner is being prepared for you... come on now, we know that is how it was because if I had $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, that is what it would be for me. MITTens also gave each of his kids $100,000,000 dollars... Jeez, get real!!
Hillary fumbled it out but she got it right; Ann cannot represent me and my struggles. By the way, isn't it MITTens that have the problem with women; maybe he should leave his wife out of it and try to make HIS problem go away.
Obama 2012 – The Only Trusted Way Forward!!
Rather poor apology by Rosen.
Hopefully, she falls by the wayside.
Do you really expect a lesbian to understand why a woman would stay home with children?
It's okay Hilary, we know you were referring to real working, not sitting on your but 'raising kids' kind of work. Fat Cat Romney can pretend he knows what it's like to be the average American, but the actual "average American" just laughs at him. Obama has the election in the bag and after November, phony fat cat Romney can get back to looking for more offshore tax havens to stash his money.
Clyde Lemerle
The prez and his crony minions wanted this said to pandering to their femz.
Nothing to do with his record of course
Stand by for more.
they are just a good old fashioned rich couple where the wife stays home with kids.
How low and dirty will you stoop attacking Ann Romney do you think any amount a money could take away the pain and suffering from breast cancer & MS plus haviing 5 boys to raise. Yes Mitt Romney is more clean then some of you are and you don't like it so you fire off at them . Stop the ugly negative stuff and get to the real issues this country has and it's people net help not sniping and ugliness like Hilary Rosen did . We switch sides, we are Crristians ,we are in the south and voting for Mitt Romney..Due to inefective Presiedent now who also does not understand the midddle and lower class needs either to the bad behavior of Rick Santorium & Newt Gingrich, What a mess you all have made!!!
We wish you meaning CNN would show some kind of true apology and Hilary Rosen should have some kind of action taken against her. Is is sad whne the people who report the news are so biased how sad that we cannot trust you not only to go after the truth but you are the ones in there attacking them.
So the Romneys are rich big news there, what about all the Christians working & represent this country who also wealthy you never hear that thrown around. We are truly sadden by this behavior.
IWe think Hilary Rosen needs to do more.
Sniffit
OK, sooooo, HIlary Rosen apoligized for her 'war on sstay at home mothers."
It's now the GOP's turn to apologize for enacting and trying to enact legislation around the country to attenuate women's reproductive freedom, control their medical and healthcare decisions, control their access to health care services and medical treatments, destroy PP, etc. AND show they mean the apology by getting rid of all that legislation.

Take a few minutes and try to find something to change about the Black Crows Anima Ski. To save you some time--it's going to be pretty difficult. Dwelling in the shadow of Mont Blanc in picturesque Chamonix, Black Crows builds its skis for the big mountains the iconic French ski town is known for. With the shape of a playful freeride ski and the backbone of a big-mountain board, the Anima will pivot and scrub thanks to its rockered tip and tail. On less-than-ideal days above treeline, its stiff flex, which gets progressively softer in the tip and tail, ensures it'll still blast through chop and windbuff like a big-mountain gun should. The semi-cap construction puts ABS sidewalls underfoot for better stability and power, then tapers out to a cap in the tip and tail to reduce swing weight, keeping the Anima playful. With 115mm underfoot, the Anima will truly shine when its slashing pow turns down big lines, but it's not so wide that it can't make the best of other funky conditions you encounter throughout the season. The light and playful poplar core adds to the Anima's energetic feel, while the carbon, KEVLAR stringers keep it laterally stiff, without adding a bunch of unnecessary weight to the ski. With a radius of 21 meters, the Anima instinctively makes long, arcing turns, making it great for the skier who prefers big, open terrain or just likes to straightline pillow lines and gun-barrel chutes.

Hackers target 130 restaurants in Cicis pizza chain
Omni Hotels was hit by point-of-sale malware
CSO50 2016 winners announced
The dirty dozen: 12 cloud security threats
Wendy's hack was bigger than thought and exposed credit card data
The company has published a list of the affected restaurants
A data breach that hit Wendy's fast food restaurants was more than three times bigger than originally disclosed and exposed customer credit card data.
The company said Thursday that malware installed in point-of-sale systems was discovered at over 1,000 of its franchised U.S. restaurants -- a big jump from the "fewer than 300 stores" it said in May had been affected.
Hackers gained access to the machines using remote access credentials of a third-party service provider, Wendy's said.
The breach began in fall 2015 and wasn't discovered until early this year. As part of its investigation, the company discovered a second malware variant had infected its systems.
That second malware targeted "cardholder name, credit or debit card number, expiration date, cardholder verification value, and service code," the company said.
The restaurants affected were all franchise operations and are listed on a website. Wendy's said its corporate-owned and operated restaurants do not appear to have been exposed to the same malware.
The company is one of the latest U.S. brands to have been hit by similar cyber attacks. In recent years, hackers pulled off data breaches against Target and Home Depot, also using login credentials from third-parties.
Hacking attacks against point-of-sale systems, especially at retailers, have become all too common, said Ziv Mador, vice president of security research at Trustwave.
Many of these attacks are conducted by stealing the login credentials used in company web interfaces designed to maintain the point-of-sale systems, he said. Once access is gained, a hacker can easily deliver malware disguised as a security patch.
Retailers tend to reuse the login credentials across their stores, so it can be easy for the hackers to expand their attack, Mador said.
Wendy's is encouraging customers to look out for unauthorized charges on their credit cards.

Defense-Related Transcriptional Reprogramming in Vitamin E-Deficient Arabidopsis Mutants Exposed to Contrasting Phosphate Availability
Allu, AD; Simancas, B; Balazadeh, S; Munne-Bosch, S

DEVI ALLU, ANNAPURNA
Allu, A. D., Simancas, B., Balazadeh, S. & Munne-Bosch, S. (2017). Defense-Related Transcriptional Reprogramming in Vitamin E-Deficient Arabidopsis Mutants Exposed to Contrasting Phosphate Availability. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE, 8, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2017.01396.
Vitamin E inhibits the propagation of lipid peroxidation and helps protecting photosystem II from photoinhibition, but little is known about its possible role in plant response to Pi availability. Here, we aimed at examining the effect of vitamin E deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana vte mutants on phytohormone contents and the expression of transcription factors in plants exposed to contrasting Pi availability. Plants were subjected to two doses of Pi, either unprimed (controls) or previously exposed to low Pi (primed). In the wild type, α-tocopherol contents increased significantly in response to repeated periods of low Pi, which was paralleled by increased growth, indicative of a priming effect. This growth-stimulating effect was, however, abolished in vte mutants. Hormonal profiling revealed significant effects of Pi availability, priming and genotype on the contents of jasmonates and salicylates; remarkably, vte mutants showed enhanced accumulation of both hormones under low Pi. Furthermore, expression profiling of 1,880 transcription factors by qRT-PCR revealed a pronounced effect of priming on the transcript levels of 45 transcription factors mainly associated with growth and stress in wild-type plants in response to low Pi availability; while distinct differences in the transcriptional response were detected in vte mutants. We conclude that α-tocopherol plays a major role in the response of plants to Pi availability not only by protecting plants from photo-oxidative stress, but also by exerting a control over growth- and defense-related transcriptional reprogramming and hormonal modulation.
