New Chili Pepper Resources Published at Olericulture.org

(PRWEB) December 04, 2011

The Vegetable Magazine Olericulture.org has newly included 341 resources to its Chili Pepper category. Chili pepper is the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chili peppers originated in the Americas and have been a part of the human diet since at least 7,500 BC.

Olericulture is the science and technology of cultivating and producing vegetables. Within this discipline, the Vegetable Research Magazine Olericulture.org provides a wide range of resources related to traditional temperate and oftentimes indigenous, tropical vegetable crops.

Most of the commercial pungent chili peppers belong to Capsicum frutescens, Solanaceae whereas others are Capsicum annuum and Capsicum chinense. These hot-fleshed peppers contain capsaicinoids. Related commercial varieties include cayenne and tabasco. Olericulture.org's Chili Pepper category now includes 341 selected resources providing qualified information on this vegetable.

The General Chili Pepper Section within the Vegetables Crops Category of Olericulture.org provides information about the aspects of production of chili pepper including cultivation, pests and diseases, harvest, postharvest, storage and marketing. The category's most prominent resource is a page on innovative uses of the ancient crop capsicum published by Purdue University's Center for New Crops and Plants Products. It covers the history, botany, breeding, pungency and pigments of capsicums which is a diverse plant group, ranging from the sweet green bell peppers to the fiery hot peppers. The pungency of the latter species is produced by the capsaicinoids which are alkaloid compounds only found in the plant genus Capsicum. Pungency is expressed in "Scoville Heat Units" which was traditionally been determined by organoleptic tests which have now been replaced with instrumental methods including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). New Mexico State University maintains the website of the Chile Pepper Institute (CPI) which is a research-based, international nonprofit organization devoted to education, research, and archiving information related to Capsicum.

The Chili Pepper Research Section at Olericulture.org provides scientific information and links to peer-reviewed papers, journal articles, theses, books, abstracts, and other scholarly literature on current and recent research on chili. It contains a number of scientific papers including a report on Starch Fossils and the Domestication and Dispersal of Chili Peppers (Capsicum spp. L.) in the Americas. This report covers a genus-specific starch morphotype that provides a means to identify chili peppers from archaeological contexts and trace both their domestication and dispersal. The section also lists a paper on intracellular localization of capsaicin and its analogues in Capsicum fruit. It identifies the vacuole as the intracellular accumulation site of capsaicinoid in the protoplast of Capsicum fruits. Another paper on "Foraging Behaviour of Wild Bees at Hot Pepper Flowers (Capsicum annuum) and its Possible Influence on Cross Pollination" suggests that small native species of bees effectively pollinate the flowers of hot peppers and that their small foraging areas are important in keeping the cultivars of both hot and sweet peppers genetically distinct where several cultivars are grown close together.

Olericulture.org was launched in 1996 and has emerged as a comprehensive aggregator of websites and science references in the applied life science olericulture. The site is now under new management and has just been republished.

Users who wish to submit their own or their company's information for inclusion in Olericulture.org are welcome to submit their listing. Furthermore, the site maintains a number of RSS feeds which enables users to subscribe to their most favorite topics within the site. Olericulture.org also maintains the Twitter account @Olericulture which currently features 2,616 tweets and 104 followers.

Introducing WordAds

by Jeff Bowen

Over the years one of the most frequent requests on WordPress.com has been to allow bloggers to earn money from their blog through ads. We?ve resisted advertising so far because most of it we had seen wasn?t terribly tasteful, and it seemed like Google?s Adsense was the state-of-the-art, which was sad. You pour a lot of time and effort into your blog and you deserve better than Adsense.

Well we think we?ve cracked it, and we?re calling it WordAds.

Blogs are unique and they shouldn?t be treated like every other page on the internet. There are more than 50,000 WordPress-powered blogs coming online every day, and every time I explore them randomly I?m always surprised and delighted by how people are using the platform to express themselves.

As a WordPress user you?re breathing rarefied air on the internet: the Creators, the Independents. Creative minds aren?t satisfied being digital sharecroppers on someone else?s domain, and you want to carve out your own piece of the internet and have a space that you?re proud of because it?s so? you.

If you?re going to have advertising on your site, it darn well better be good, and beginning with our partnership with Federated Media we?re ready to start rolling out WordAds here on WordPress.com.

If the above is something you?d be interested in, fill out this form to let us know a bit about yourself.

Full Sail University and University of Florida Endorse Educational Collaboration

Winter Park, FL (PRWEB) December 03, 2011

The University of Florida and Full Sail University boards have endorsed a collaboration to create more educational and career opportunities for students at both schools in media, technology and entertainment business.

The collaboration will, among other things, make it easier for students who graduate with certain degrees at one institution to have access to the next level of degree program at the other institution. It also will help clear the way for co-promotion of such degree and certificate programs, with the aim of establishing Central and North Central Florida as a national leader for entertainment business and technology.

?It just makes sense for institutions to share their assets in order to benefit their students,? University of Florida President Bernie Machen said. ?UF and Full Sail each have fields in which they excel. Why not make it easier for students to have the best of both worlds??

Full Sail President Garry Jones called the collaboration ?a fantastic new chapter in the histories of both universities.?

?This is truly exciting,? Jones said. ?Our schools have so much to offer each other, and the best part is that the students at both our institutions will be the big winners.?

The project initially would focus on sports, business, computer game development and engineering, animation, and education degree and certificate programs.

UF colleges that have expressed interest in the plan include Journalism and Communications, Fine Arts, Business Administration, Health and Human Performance, Education and Engineering.

Founded in 1979, Full Sail offers over 30 master?s, bachelor?s and associate degree programs with an emphasis in many areas related to entertainment and media. Its enrollment is more than 15,000.

The collaboration is part of what Machen calls the university?s Accelerated Market Priorities. AMPs, as they are called, will be a series of initiatives aimed at making the university more responsive to the needs of the job market.

?As I?ve said before, we consider economic development to be a university mission equal in importance to research, education and service,? Machen said. ?AMPs make it possible for us to respond quickly to rapidly changing markets.?

A time frame for the collaboration has not been established. The plan calls for several measures to be met. Those include ensuring that each institution?s admissions process and standards are met by students admitted to its degree programs, and each institution?s degree and accreditation requirements are met for degrees earned with courses taken at both institutions, according to the resolution trustees approved.

About the University of Florida
The University of Florida is one of the nation?s largest public universities. A member of the Association of American Universities, UF receives more than $619 million annually in sponsored research funding. Through its research and other activities, UF contributes more than $8.76 billion a year to Florida?s economy and has a total employment impact of more than 100,000 jobs statewide. http://www.ufl.edu.

In 2011, Full Sail received the ?21st Century Best Practices in Distance Learning Award? from the United States Distance Learning Association, was named the ?School/College of the Year? by the Florida Association of Postsecondary Schools and Colleges, and was recognized as one of the Top 100 Social Media Colleges by Studentadvisor.com.

Russell & Smith Mazda in Houston, Texas Gearing up for Year's End Sales in Effort to Make Room for Incoming 2012 Models

Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

At Russell & Smith Mazda in Houston, Texas the end of the year sales are getting ready to kick off in order to liquidate their pre-existing inventory in an effort to make room for the incoming 2012 models. The CX7, the CX9, and the Mazda3 along with the rest of the models in Mazda's lineup are among those available for sale at this time. This is the time of year for anyone in the market for a new Mazda in Houston or a used Mazda in Houston to make their move. There is no better time than year's end liquidation sales to purchase a new or used vehicle of any make or model.

For the vast majority of Americans, belt tightening has become a reality previously unknown to many. Therefore, not every sector of the car buying public is in a position to purchase a new vehicle. But these consumers need not worry. At Russell & Smith's Mazda dealership there is a vast selection available, comprising many different makes and models, of used cars in Houston and used trucks in Houston to choose from. No one need worry that because they are purchasing a pre-owned vehicle they will be limited in their choices and settling for whatever's available. That just isn't the case at this dealership.

And even if a car buyer weren't to find exactly what it is they're looking for on Russell & Smith's Mazda lot, they're a part of a bigger picture. Russell & Smith is also the proud owner of both a Ford dealership and a Honda dealership in Houston. They've got all the bases covered. With all this in mind, automotive consumers can rest assured that all their car buying needs will be met. Along with a great selection of vehicles, there are many other benefits to these Houston dealerships. All three offer stellar websites from which consumers can shop, schedule repairs and maintenance, look for and order OEM parts, and check out special internet pricing on select vehicles available to internet shoppers.

This is all with the goal in mind of ease of convenience for automobile consumers. Not everyone has the time or the energy or the inclination to pound the pavement, so to speak, when doing comparison shopping. And for others the simplicity of a mouse click over a telephone call when searching for parts or scheduling repairs simply can't be beat. Whatever style a consumer is best suited for is met with customer satisfaction in the end when it's all said and done. Russell & Smith Mazda of Houston, as well as its sister dealerships, wants to encourage all persons with automotive needs to take advantage of whichever form of shopping that best fits them and their current situation, and to take advantage of the upcoming deals for the month of December.
