Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a or method including all of or any subset of a site poker, including a crawler that identifies known catalog software running on a server; and a Crawler/s operative to extract metadata from a given catalog platform for computer storage, including functionality for at least one of: marking in the computer storage, where that metadata came from; functionality for associating additional catalog level metadata with the metadata extracted; and functionality for marking external links for feeding at least some of the external links back into the site poker.
