1. Bitcoin value crashes as major exchange freezes withdrawals — Business Insider
The value of bitcoin has dipped sharply in value to $647 as Mt. Gox, a major exchange in the bitcoin world, has continued to freeze bitcoin withdrawals. The company originally halted transactions on Friday, citing a technical issue — which they claim is not limited to the exchange. Despite the freeze, users are still able to make withdrawals in U.S. dollars.

"Having high blood pressure, I am sure to take my medicine every day and consistently monitor it. I also see my doctor very faithfully." Lori S.
Colored bell peppers are outstanding sources of beta-carotene, which your body makes into vitamin A. Vitamin A is necessary for night vision and healthy hair and skin. Roasting bell peppers and onions brings out their naturally sweet flavor, but if you're pressed for time, you can skip this step for a crunchier salad.

Freezing temperatures and fuel shortages complicate emergency relief operations
People living in the earthquake and tsunami affected areas in northeast Japan are now faced with bitter cold weather, expected to last until the end of the week. Thousands of households have been without electricity since 11 March when the tsunami hit, and concerns remain for those who have not been reached by rescue workers and the half a million people living in evacuation centres. Many do not have protective clothing or blankets, and heating is insufficient.
The snow has further hampered ongoing emergency relief operations that are also dealing with aftershocks, now numbering 290. Fuel shortage (due to the breakdown of six major oil factories) is also limiting delivery capacity of transportation companies. The government is still trying to mobilize 100,000 troops in emergency response, and there are currently 80,000 troops, police, fire service and Japanese coast guard personnel on the ground.
A fourth explosion occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on 16 March 2011, forcing the withdrawal of all workers and suspending work due to a rise in radiation levels. Helicopters and cannon trucks have been dumping sea water on the facility to cool it down. Many countries have instructed their nationals to evacuate to the western part of Japan or outside the country.
Humanitarian needs include WASH services for 1.6 million households without water, psychological and physical health services, and food and amenities for over 400,000 people who have evacuated their homes and are living in temporary shelters.
Response efforts include private sector increase of food production and government delivery of 1.5 million meals and 300 water supply vehicles to evacuation centres and severely affected areas. The International Organization for Migration is providing vital information to disaster-affected migrants who do not speak Japanese, the World Food Programme has collaborated with TNT to transport 60,000 blankets to affected areas, and the International Telecommunication Union has dispatched emergency telephone equipment to the region. The government has urged NGOs to wait until search and rescue operations are complete before commencing relief activities.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|It's a fiber similar to super hair except thinner and kinkier..if that is helpful.... it is similar to Neer hair and puglisi fibers only thicker and easy to work with.... I simply buttered the entire fly as in the second picture until it set with soft body, instead of softex since I would prefer using softbody instead of softex. Then I tinkered with it.. it became rubbery and I "squeezed" in into shape..flattening and squeezing... then took scissors and cut it to shape... then squeezed and flattenned to finsih it off.... after a couple hours it set more ridgedly.
|nevada caster
crab pattern
I am not familiar with slinky. It that the fiber that you used? Where do you get it? Did you use Softex as the only binder/coating?
|.... here is what your hook can look like when you put in the initial material...simple!
Slinky Fiber Blue Crab
Here is a slinky blend crab. You can use other similar material.. This is an easy crab to tye and would come in as many colors as you have slinky blend. I did this as a tropical blue crab. The two fiber colors I used was sea mist green and seaweed green topping. The second picture is what this looks like with your easy initial applications .. This has a dumbbell weight. So not a lot of material. This is similar to the Bonefish Buster Crab..but that one is done with Yarn and goop.(If you work with goop you need to use photoflo so you can work it into the material.) Once you have your initial bunches tied in ,you soak the material in softbody (or softex)... once this is set.. it's easy to just cut it to shape by cutting the shape of the crab... not a ton of material and I think will give the cruchy feel. I will do some of these in brown and try them out this summer. BTW- the eyes are in there and are the ball and string kind.

After months of task forces and meetings and shrinking down its list from close to 200 big ideas, the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce introduced its Big 5 Ideas. They decided to roll up their sleeves and proposed moving UMKC's world class arts programs to a new downtown location, revitalize our urban neighborhoods through the urban Neighborhood Initiative, host a global symposium on innovation in animal health, and transform Kansas City into "America's Most Entrepreneurial City."
Their fifth idea was to grow Kansas City's medical research from discovery to cure.
Just recently, they got a whole lot closer to achieving that goal as the University of Kansas Medical Center was awarded National Cancer Institute designation.

Shares of mobile video games provider Glu Mobile (GLUU) are up 9 cents, or 2.7%, at $3.38 in late trading after the company this afternoon reiterated its outlook for Q3 for revenue in a range of $20.25 million to $21.25 million, on a non-GAAP basis, and an adjusted Ebitda loss of $3.1 million to $4 million, but probably a little closer to the smaller end of that loss estimate.
The Street has been modeling $21.3 million and an Ebitda loss of $3 million.
Glu said it had no titles in the quarter that met the success of "prior breakout hits," thus limiting upside for the quarter.
CEO Niccolo de Masi said it was too soon to update the company's Q4 view given the lack of upside last quarter in the game titles:
We did not have any breakout title launches in Q3 and are still evaluating our expectations of their lifetime performance. In the next several weeks, we expect to launch Contract Killer 2 and Death Dome, which titles will be important to Q4 revenue performance. Consequently, we have yet to form an updated view on fourth quarter 2012 results. However, we will manage the business to be Adjusted EBITDA break-even or better for Q4.
However, Glu expects to have further commentary on Q4′s outlook when it formally reports results for Q3.
Glu's titles include "Ham on the Run," "Samurai Vs. Zombies," and "Eternity Warriors." The company competes with traditional video game developers/distributors such as Electronics Arts (EA).

Complaints Against Attorneys
Complaint Form
Complaint form (Spanish version)
Discipline Referral Form (for judicial officer use only)
All lawyers who practice in California must live up to ethical standards
imposed by the California Supreme Court and the state legislature. As
an arm of the California Supreme Court, the State Bar investigates and
prosecutes complaints against lawyers.
You should register a complaint with the State Bar if you believe that your lawyer acted improperly but not just because there is some disagreement between you or you believe he or she did a poor job. For these kinds of disagreements, you should pursue alternative methods of settling attorney-client disputes when available.
Depending on the seriousness of the offense, a lawyer can be given a warning, put on probation, suspended from practicing law for a period of time or disbarred (prohibited from practicing law in California).
The bar has limited authority to discipline lawyers for such behavior as rudeness or making a single honest mistake. It is limited by law to complaints about unethical behavior as defined in the Rules of Professional Conduct and/or the State Bar Act.
If you believe that your lawyer acted unethically, you should file a complaint. The complaint form should be mailed to the State Bar at the address indicated. Be sure to follow the instructions.
Some things you should know about filing a complaint:
NOTE: The State Bar's primary jurisdiction involves regulation of attorneys. However, it is authorized by statute to take limited action against non-attorneys under certain circumstances. If you have information about the possible unlawful practice of law by an unlicensed individual, please call 800-843-9053. You should send supporting documents or other information to: The State Bar of California, Office of Chief Trial Counsel, Intake Unit, 845 S. Figueroa St.
Los Angeles, CA 90017-2515, Attn: UPL Project.

A film industry trade paper has issued a dramatic apology for its role in what its owner has dubbed "Hollywood's Holocaust".
The Hollywood Reporter today issued the apology for its part in the 1947 Hollywood Blacklist that destroyed the careers of writers, actors and directors accused of having communist ties.
Willie Wilkerson, the son of the paper's founder Billy Wilkerson, said the Blacklist era was "Hollywood's Holocaust".
An apology was needed on the eve of its "dark 65th anniversary", he said.
"On behalf of my family, and particularly my late father, I wish to convey my sincerest apologies and deepest regrets to those who were victimized by this unfortunate incident."
Wilkerson said his father had started the blacklist as a way of getting back at label bosses who blocked his dream of opening a film studio.
He said his father saw fear over the spread of communism into Eastern Europe after World War 2 as an opportunity to use his paper to smear actors, writers and directors.
The "schoolyard spat" span out of control and by 1950 had destroyed the careers of thousands of talented people who were tarred as communists, Wilkerson said.
"The blacklist silenced the careers of some of the studios' greatest talent and ruined countless others merely standing on the sidelines."
Wilkerson said his father may have apologised for creating the Hollywood Blacklist had he lived long enough.

Web Design: The Basics
As a small business owner, creating an appealing website is just as important as maintaining the quality of the products and services you offer. The standards of today's online shoppers are higher than ever, so it's important that your website is making the best possible impression of your company.
Choosing a Web Design Company
If you just started looking for web designers in your area or on a national level, you are probably surprised to see how many are available. From template based websites, to full multimedia e-commerce sites with streaming music and video, your options are endless – what you will need in particular is of utmost importance to get a well branded, successful website for your customers.
- Study each web designer's personal portfolio of previous projects. Note if a designer's portfolio of sites includes misspelled words, corrupt links, or over pixilated images. Make note about the different techniques and styles you like from each designer.
- Gert references of their work. Take note of any feedback about how well they worked with given timelines, how easy they were to get a hold of in times of need, and how knowledgeable they were about design.
- Read the contract thoroughly to be sure you know the ins and outs of pricing and services. Learn what to look for in The Nitty Gritty of Web Design Contracts.
- It may be in your best interest to look for a company that offers all-inclusive services. Ask your web designer if they can provide web hosting services to secure the domain of your page and perform any necessary maintenance. If you plan on using online marketing to attract new customers, see if the web designer has a specialist in-house that can perform optimization and customer tracking.
Be sure to check out our vendors for e-commerce web design.
Professional Website Design Tips
There are three general options when it comes to a business web design.
- An information-sharing website is generally based on a basic template and can portray up to six pages of information about your company.
- A showcase website uses flash-based web graphics or client testimonials to help sell your product or service.
- An e-commerce website allows for your website customers to view all of your products and make a purchase over the Internet.
Once you have decided what type of site your company could benefit from building, you can begin to construct it effectively.
- Keep it Simple. Your website doesn't have to be entirely flash-based or overcrowded with information. Including too much textual information can bore or overwhelm viewers. The most effective website design addresses only the necessary information, and then provides links to contact and supplemental information. Consider using roll-over and drop down menus to "hide" more information.
- Use Images. Today's online consumers are highly visual. Have your product photographed by a professional and include the images on your site, and make sure the correlating text will provide enough detail about what is included.
- Optimize. Be sure to optimize your website for search engine traffic. You want your site to be easy to navigate with simple link structures. Don't forget to incorporate keywords in your page content, and make sure your site loads quickly and completely.
- Mobile Compatibility. Mobile sales are projected to quadruple by 2015, and with 1 in 3 US adults owning a smartphone, it's essential that you make your website compatible with mobile devices. Consider either making a mobile-friendly version of your site, or incorporating responsive design into your existing website.
Remember that your website is a direct reflection of your company and product. If a potential customer is comparing your company to your competitor, they may go with the company with a more appealing website. Keep this in mind and be creative with your web design to attract your current and future customers.
If you're interested in web design, you may also want to look at web programming and domain registration.

Deeplinks Blog posts about National Security Letters
Tell your Congressperson to vote NO on the USA PATRIOT Act in tomorrow's vote! The PATRIOT reauthorization bill being fast-tracked to the House floor contains NO reforms to the law, and will be voted upon with NO debate and NO opportunity for amendments to add oversight and accountability. Help stop this sneak attack on your civil liberties: there are only hours left to visit our Action Center and tell your Representative to vote "NO" on H.R. 514, the PATRIOT extension bill.
EFF has uncovered widespread violations stemming from FBI intelligence investigations from 2001 - 2008. In a report released today, EFF documents alarming trends in the Bureau's intelligence investigation practices, suggesting that FBI intelligence investigations have compromised the civil liberties of American citizens far more frequently, and to a greater extent, than was previously assumed.
Using documents obtained through EFF's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation, the report finds:
• Evidence of delays of 2.5 years, on average, between the occurrence of a violation and its eventual reporting to the Intelligence Oversight Board
EFF recently received documents in response to one of our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that demonstrate a disturbing trend: the FBI's arbitrary application of FOIA exemptions to hide, or in some instances, reveal, its unlawful activities.
This morning's Washington Post reveals that the Department Of Justice has been pressuring Congress to expand its power to obtain records of Americans' private Internet activity through the use of National Security Letters (NSLs).
NSLs, you may remember, are one of the most powerful and frightening tools of government surveillance to be expanded by the Patriot Act. These letters allow the FBI to secretly demand data from phone companies and internet service providers about the private communications of ordinary citizens. The letters include a gag order, which forbids recipients from ever revealing the letters' existence to their coworkers, their friends, or even to their family members, much less the public.
As the transparency community celebrates Sunshine Week, we here at EFF are reminded that most of the federal agencies we seek to monitor through our Freedom of Information Act work continue to cloak their activities in excessive secrecy. We have grown accustomed to receiving agency documents with large amounts of information blacked out — or "redacted" in the official parlance. While we often suspect that many of these deletions are made to conceal innocuous, or perhaps embarrassing, information, it is usually impossible to confirm those suspicions. But in some rare instances, we are able to learn precisely what a recalcitrant agency has improperly withheld from public view.

I mentioned under the "repacking toys" thread that I had no issue--thankfully, the other two HISSes were still there. The lady at the counter even remembered the dude who brought it back. I hope this prevents him from returning further toys.
Looks like, as best I can tell, the guy got it for the ceremonial Cobra staff, which is packed with the cannons, and left those and the chassis out to fit it back in the box. (Even without the chassis and weapons, I had a hard time getting the other pieces back in.)
Wolf HoundSnow CAT looks to be mostly the same as the original, with a remodeled launcher. I've read it's all new, though, and, if so, they did a fine job of replicating the old one. It even has the Snow CAT logo on it, which looks nothing like a wolf, hound, or wolfhound.

Before we even get off and racing, it's easy to see that Formula One 2001
has less under the hood than its counterpart. You can play typical Quick Race,
Single Race and Test Drive options (all of which are as simple as they come)
along with the World Championship, Time Attack, and virtually useless Spectator
mode. No challenges, custom championships, or teammate rivalries here, people.
Even the multiplayer game runs thin, with only a Time Attack and Quick Race.
In a total reversal of fortune, the graphical quality does a flip-flop with
EA's game. Here, the details aren't as refined. There aren't any nice reflections
in the cars or helmets and the weather effects are as plain as you've ever seen.
But when you play from a third-person view, the cars look much better. If these
two teams of developers got together, we'd have one great looking game.
While Formula One has a much smoother control than F1, it doesn't
carry the option for a Simulation style of racing. If you're new to this type
of racing, it won't bother you as much, but any hardcore fan will miss the "real
feel" of an F1 car.
The one unique thing that Formula One does with control is the option
for a manual transmission with a clutch. When I think about it,
I can't recall any racing game that does this. In any case, I couldn't for the
life of me figure out what this 'so-called' clutch does. I shifted without clutching
and found no noticeable negative effects. I clutched, then shifted, but it wasn't
different at all. I held down the clutch like I was clinging to life itself
and all that resulted was a normal manual (without clutch) drive. I guess what
we have here is just a mysterious placebo button. It only works if you think
it does.
The available customization options are largely the same as F1. You
can do all kinds of tweaks to the car's gear ratios, aeros, and other parts
as well as plan out a pit schedule for your race. You can also turn on the F1
rules, adjust the weather and toggle the damage.
if there's one option you want to see, it's the damage. While it definitely
makes the game harder, watching pieces of F1s flying all over the place sure
is fun. Just be careful, since losing a wheel or other equally vital part will
put you out of the race.
One thing that you will want to lose, however, is the announcer. Possibly
the game's worst feature, Formula One's announcer suffers from a deadly
case of inflection-itis. It was forgivable back in Joe Montana Sports Talk
Football, BUT the announCING in this GAme WILL drive you CRAzy. For god's
sake, go to the options and shut that guy up.
Also noteworthy (but not nearly as annoying) are the game's three camera angles.
The nose cam still doesn't work well, the over-the-helmet is still limiting,
and the external cam is still sitting to close to the car's rear end. All I
want is to raise that external camera a little and push it further back so I
can see better. Is that too much to ask?
Pretty much all that's left is the Image Gallery, which you'll unlock through
sheer patience and the skill required to win the World Championships at each
difficulty level. I've never known anyone to get excited about unlocking pictures,
but it's there if you're interested. I'm still hoping to find some kind of worthwhile
unlockable, but so far all I've come up with is a headache.
When put side by side with EA's F1 2001, Formula One 2001 doesn't
quite make the final cut. It's got plenty of options and the same basic content,
but it doesn't go the extra mile to make playing it a riveting experience. On
its own, you'll find just an average racing game, but why settle for average
when you can do better?

Could it be???? After years of searching for some mention of my Jesse Woodward after I last found him paying a poll tax in Springfield, NH, in 1806, I may have found him this morning while searching on GenealogyBank.com. Jesse was born 24 June 1774 in Plaistow, New Hampshire, son of Stephen Woodward and Hannah Clement[1] and married Bashabe Stevens in Springfield (Grafton, now Sullivan County), New Hampshire.
Bashaba Woodward of Salisbury, New Hampshire, purchased 1 acre of land from Kimball Woodward in Boscawen, NH, on 31 July 1837.[2] On the 30th of November 1866 she transferred by deed of gift to Ezekiel S. Davis "in consideration of the kind attention and sample support of me by the said Ezekiel S. Davis since his intermarriage with my daughter, Diana A. Woodward."[3] The indenture was between Bashaba Woodward of Lowell, Massachusetts, and Ezekiel Davis, also, of Lowell. Jesse's name did not appear on any of these transactions, which made me think that he was either deceased or the marriage of the couple had gone sour and she'd left him.
Now that this 1832 death notice has been located, it would appear that Bashaba had become a widow at his passing in Springfield, New Hampshire.[4]
There were several Jesse Woodwards in New Hampshire that were recorded in a variety of federal censuses in New Hampshire prior to 1850. It is time I made a through study of those families.
Some family members thought that he had moved from Springfield, New Hampshire into Maine (perhaps Oldfield) where he probably died. In fact a couple of census records indicate, indirectly, that Jesse's son, Daniel, was born in Maine.
New hypothesis will need to be developed and research in Springfield (Grafton County, now Sullivan County) will need to be investigated.
So much to do, so little time

Big Data Biology - why efficiency matters
I'm going to pick on Mick Watson today. (It's OK. He's just a foil for this discussion, and I hope he doesn't take it too personally.)
Mick made the following comment on my earlier Big Data Biology blog post:
I do wonder whether there is just a bit too much hand wringing about "big data".
For e.g., the rumen metagenomic data you mentioned above, I can assemble using MetaVelvet on our server in less than a day (admittedly it has 512Gb of RAM, but doesn't everyone?). I can count the 17mers in it using Jellyfish in a few hours.
So I just set the processes running, two days later, I have my analysis. What's the problem? Does it matter that you can do it quicker?
Big data doesn't really worry me.
I know I am being flippant, but really to me the challenge isn't the data, it's the biology. I don't care if it takes 2 hours, 2 days or 2 weeks to process the data.
Improve your computing efficiency by 100x, I don't care; improve your ability to extract biological information by 100x, then I'm interested :)
He makes one very, very, very good point -- who cares if you can run an analysis (whatever it is) and it doesn't provide any value? The end goal of my sequencing analysis is to provide insight into biological processes; I might as well just delete the data (an O(1) "analysis" operation, if one with a big constant in front of it..) if the analysis isn't going to yield useful information.
But he also seems to think that speed and efficiency of analyses doesn't matter for science. And I don't just think he's dead wrong, I know he's dead wrong.
This is both an academic point and a practical point. And, in fact, an algorithmic point.
The academic reason why efficient computation is good for science
The academic point is simple: our ability to do thorough exploratory analysis of a large sequencing data set is limited by at least four things. These four things are:
Our ability to do initial processing on the data - error trimming and correction, and data summary (mapping and assembly, basically).
The information available for cross-reference. Most (99.9%) of our bioinformatic analyses rely on homology (for inference of function) and annotation.
(This is why Open Access of data is so freakin' important to us bioinformaticians. If you hide your database from us, it might as well not exist for all we care.)
Statistics. We do a lot of sensitive signal analysis and multiple testing, and we are really quite bad at computing FDRs and other statistical properties. Each statistical advance is greeted with joy.
The ability to complete computations on (1), (2), and (3).
Every 100gb data set takes a day to process. Mapping and assembly can take hours to days to weeks. Each database search costs time and effort (in part because the annotations are all in different formats). Each MCMC simulation or background calculation takes significant time, even if it's automated.
Inefficient computation thus translates to an economic penalty on science (in time, effort, and attention span). This, in turn, leads directly to science that is not as good as it could be (as do poor computational science skills, badly written software, inflexible workflows, opaque pipelines, and too quick a rush to hypotheses -- hey, look, a central theme to my blog posts!)
Anecdote: someone recently e-mailed us to tell us about how they could assemble a comparable soil data set to ours in a mere week and 3 TB of memory. Our internal estimates suggest that for full sensitivity, we need to do 5-10 assemblies of that data set (each with different parameters) followed by a similarly expensive post-assembly merging -- so, minimally, 6 weeks of compute requiring 3 TB of memory, full-time, on as many cores as possible. You've gotta imagine that there's going to be a lot of internal pressure to get results in less time (surely we can get away with only 1 assembly?) with less parameter searching (what, you think we can tell you which parameters are going to work?) and this pressure is going to translate to doing less in the way of data set exploration. (Never mind the actual economics -- since this data set would take about 1 week of sequencer time, and $10,000 or so, to generate today, I think they don't make sense either.)
I can point you to at least three big metagenome Illumina assembly papers where I know these computational limitations truncated their exploration of the data set. (Wait, you say there are only three? Well, I'm not going to tell you which three they are.)
The practical reason why efficient computation is good for science
This one's a bit more obvious, but, interestingly, Mick also treads all over it. He says "...I can assemble using MetaVelvet on our server in less than a day (admittedly it has 512 Gb of RAM, but doesn't everyone?"
Well, no, they don't.
We didn't have access to such a big server until recently. We had plenty of offers for occasional access, but when we explained that we needed them for a few weeks of dedicated compute (for parameter exploration -- see above) and also that no, we weren't willing to sign copyright or license for our software over to a national lab for that access, somewhat oddly a lot of the offers came to naught.
It turns out most people don't have access to such bigmem computers, or even big compute clusters; and when they do, those computers and clusters aren't configured for biologists to use.
Democratization of sequencing should mean democratization of analysis, too. Every year our next-gen sequence analysis course gets tons of applicants from small colleges and universities where the compute infrastructure is small and what does exist is overwhelmed by Monte Carlo calculations. Our course explicitly teaches them to use Amazon to do their compute -- with that, they can take that knowledge home, and spend small amounts of money to buy IaaS, or apply for an AWS education grant to do their analysis. We feel for them because we were in their situation until recently.
Expensive compute translates to a penalty on the very ability of many scientists and teachers to access computational science. (Insert snide comment on similar limitations in practical access to US education, health care, and justice).
The algorithmic reason why efficient computation is good for science
Assemblers kinda suck. Everyone knows it, and recent contests & papers have done a pretty good job of highlighting the limitations (see GAGE and Assemblathon). This is not because the field is full of stupid people, but rather because assembly is a really, really hard problem (see Nagarajan & Pop) -- so hard that really smart people have worked for decades on it. (In many ways, the fact that it works at all is a tribute to their brilliance.)
Advances in assembly algorithms have led to our current crop of assemblers, but assemblers are still relatively slow and relatively memory consumptive. Our diginorm paper benchmarks Trinity as requiring 38 hours in 42gb of RAM for 100m mouse mRNAseq reads; genome and metagenome assemblers require similar size resources, although the variance depends on the sample, of course. SGA and Cortex seem unreasonably memory efficient to me :), but I understand that they perform less well on things other than single genomes (like, say, metagenomic data) -- in part because the underlying data structures are targeted at specific features of their data.
What's the plan for the future, in which we will be applying next-gen sequencing to non-model organisms, evolutionary experiments, and entire populations of novel critters? These sequencing data sets will have different features from the ones we are used to tackling with current tech -- including higher heterozygosity and strong GC-rich biases.
I personally think the next big advances in assembly will come through the systematic application of sample- or sub-sample specific, compute-expensive algorithms like EMIRGE to our data sets. While perfect assembly may be a pipe dream, significant and useful incremental advances seem very achievable, especially if the practical cost of current assembly algorithms drops.
Not so parenthetically, this is one of the reasons I'm so excited about digital normalization (the general concept, not only our implementation) --
I bet more algorithmically expensive solutions would be investigated, implemented, and applied if memory and time requirements dropped, don't you?
Or if the data could be made less error-prone and simpler?
Or if the volume of data could be reduced without losing much information?
I will take one side of that bet...
Of course, I'm more than a wee bit biased on this whole topic. A big focus of my group has been in spending the last three years fighting the trend of "just use a bigger computer and it will all be OK". Diginorm and partitioning are two of the results, and a few more will be emerging soon. I happen to think it's incredibly important; I would have done something else with my time, energy, and money if not. Hopefully you can agree that it's important, even if you're interested in other things.
So: yes, computational efficiency is not the only thing. And it's a surprisingly convenient moving target; frequently, you yourself can just wait a few months or buy a bigger computer, and achieve similar results. But sometimes that attitude masks the fact that efficient computation can bring better, cheaper, and broader science. We need to pay attention to that, too.
And, Mick? I don't think I can improve your ability to extract biological information by 100x. On metagenomes, would 2-10x be a good enough start?

Catalin Morosanu Making Waves in European Politics
- Written by Dave Walsh
On May 25th there will be elections held for the European Parliament, not something that would usually interest us here on LiverKick. That being said, this is a bit different, as for the first time there could be an international Kickboxing star elected to the European Parliament. It's been discussed in the past, but SuperKombat's Catalin Morosanu serves as a Counselor to his birth region of Iasi.
So on May 25th Morosanu will be vying for a role in European Parliament, up for a role as a deputy for Romania. This would make Catalin Morosanu the first major elected official in European Parliament whose first career was that of a Kickboxer.
At SuperKombat's World Grand Prix at Riseta the promotion launched a limited edition line of commemorative watches for Catalin Morosanu, as well as Raul Catinas and Jerome Le Banner. On top of that, Stefan Popa, the "fastest cartoonist in the world" offered cartoons to all of the fighters, one of which, of Eduard Irimia can be seen in the photo above.

A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she'd become, but elements of the familiar tale of aesthetic obsession begin to play themselves out when the birth of Boy's daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as lightskinned African Americans passing for white. Among them, Boy, Snow, and Bird confront the tyranny of the mirror to ask how much power surfaces really hold.
Dazzlingly inventive and powerfully moving , Boy, Snow, Bird is an astonishing and enchanting novel. With breathtaking feats of imagination, Helen Oyeyemi confirms her place as one of the most original and dynamic literary voices of our time.
When was the last time you read a book that made you want to call a friend and insist they read it, not just because it was a fantastic read, but because you absolutely, immediately needed someone you could talk to about it?
Boy, Snow, Bird is that book. Helen Oyeyemi's new novel is a fascinating, brilliant, and surprisingly charming story...
From the Publisher
In the winter of 1953, Boy Novak arrives by chance in a small town in Massachusetts, looking, she believes, for beauty—the opposite of the life she's left behind in New York . She marries a local widower and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow Whitman. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she'd become,...

Car plunges through ice on Beaver Dam Lake
No injuries reported
BEAVER DAM, Wis. - A car went through the ice on Beaver Dam Lake on Sunday afternoon.
Kyle Daniels, 19, of rural Beaver Dam, was driving his car on the ice when it broke through and submerged up to the roof, according to a Dodge County Sheriff's Department news release.
Daniels called 911 at about 3:12 p.m. while standing on the roof of his car, according to the news release.
He was able to get away from the vehicle and walk to the Beaver Dam Fire Department hovercraft that was searching for him and his vehicle.
Daniels was brought to shore by the hovercraft and didn't request medical treatment.
Open water was reported in an area not far from where the car broke through, sheriff's officials said.
Sheriff's officials said recent strong winds and a relatively mild winter have created ice conditions that vary on area lakes as well as open water areas.
Authorities said motor vehicle traffic is discouraged on the ice and extreme caution should be used, especially during darkness.

selective fishery?
If this is not the place to debate or talk about selective fisheries just say so. This is the best site on fishing period and don't want to see it turn into an out of control site.
But I believe that we as fly fisherman need to take a real good look at our sport an why there is such a undercurrent of grumbling that seems to be getting louder especially in the NW.
First of all being involved politically on the side of working conservation I agree that selective fisheries work. Just one look at the great rivers in Yellowstone Park and Rail Road Ranch on the Henerys Fork are proof. Many years ago a lot of us worked hard for these rivers to become selective and yet remain open to the public.
I fear now though under certain situations a strong back lash
to the great efforts made around the country to improve the health of our rivers. Yes there is a lot of propaganda going on by the C&K folks but I'm seeing some truths surfacing in that propaganda.
Out here in the NW there are flyfishing clubs pushing for more and more fly fishing water only and selective fisheries. This is fine when there is a need to maintain great fisheries or to protect one that is in trouble. But I'm seeing public lakes that can only support hatchery trout and blue gills going selective. There is absolutely no reason for this, remember the kids and the bobber thing, remember how we all started to fish. Maybe these fly fishing clubs think they are doing something positive but they are not.
When the upper Madison River from Hebgan lake to the junction in the park was made selective we understood the majority of fishermen who lived in the area and came there to fish were selective fishermen. What I'm seeing here on Stilly and some of our lakes is unfair to most.
The WSC is a group of conservationists who want to save Wild Steelhead. We are flyfishermen, gear and bait fishermen. I believe that there are more gear fishermen in the WSC than flyfishermen. We are a unity and being a unity we have a chance to do our part to save native fish.
How do I explain to a gear fisherman why he can't fish the NF Stilly in summer? Or why Fly fisherman only can fish in May. We have so many good gear fisherman out here who are so careful releasing fish and who are as good a conservationist as any of us. Yes there are bad gear fisherman who could endanger the very fish we try to protect but as we can see on Stilly we also have some bad fly fisherman too.
A selective fishery with single barbless hook lets all types of gear fishing take place and makes for some form of unity. The Deschutes River in Oregon is such a river and I've enjoyed the friendship of many of stranger fishing gear and fly on the same stretch of river.
The NF of the Stilly must be open to single barbless hook on any type of gear. And I believe it should be the fly fishing community who should push for it. If the river is not healthy enough to support a more open minded type of selective fishery then maybe it should not be open at all. How can any of us look into the eye of a gear fisherman who is conservation minded and tell him the way he fishes is not good enough to fish on the Stilly and yet we want their support of state wide catch & release.
I don't disagree but I would add to that by saying single barbless hooks. Single meaning one point.. There is a lot of confusion about single hook on the Deschutes and many many gear fishermen use lures with 1 treble hook thinking they are fishing a single barbless hook.. Also anywhere where fish are in need of protection the first thing to go should be bait. I bait fished for years and especially with summer runs no matter how good of a fisherman you are they often "swallow" a bait especially roe.
I have been reading a few studies on catch and release mortality on chinook and coho. We tend to think of thoes two species as very strong and hardy but studies conducted on the Frazer river in BC suggest that both chinook and coho have alarmingly high mortality rates Especially when caught and released on bait.
Anyway I agree I don't think there is a need for fly only water but certainly single barbless no bait regs.
What is to keep the lure or bait fisherman from learning to fly fish if they want to fish the rare " fly fishing only" waters
Your right about the bait and summer fish and having a more open minded selective fishery would still give the bait fisherman an opportunity to participate in fishing on that stretch of river or lake. They would not have to go out and buy expensive new gear. All they would have to do is go to an artificial with single barbless hook. Some would not but many would do so.
I just can't see where making certain waters fly fishing only when the general population that fish that area don't fish that way. What difference does it make on what type of rod one uses when in the end it's the hook that strikes home. Why should we care what type of artificial is used lure or a greenbut skunk fly as long as it's barbless and the owner takes care in playing and releasing the fish.
Yes all could learn how to fly fish but I would hate to outfit a family of 4 with fly gear that is required to safely land and release a steelhead. A lot of fishermen have no interest in fly fishing so why should they have to learn. We need to have more people participate and through participating become involved in conservation. We fly fishermen need help on the conservation side if we isolate and try and do it ourselves we will loose every battle that needs to be fought.
Another point brought up is that a guy using gear and a lure is going to hook more fish and the possibility of a fish going belly up are greater. All I can say as far as summer run steelhead are concerned their are a lot of good fly fisherman out there who can fish summer fish as well as any lure fisherman. On the gear side one can argue that because it's heavier gear than fly gear fish are released quicker therefore fish have a better chance. Don't know if that's true but it's a good argument.
All have a good weekend and enjoy your fishing if you go.
You make some excellent points and I commend you for letting some very controversial views be known. And in some ways, I agree with you as I fish gear alot myself and understand that a gear fisherman who practives proper catch and release is going to do about the same amount of damage to the resource as a flyfisher who practives proper catch and release.
But at the same time, I disagree with you and believe that that we need eliminate our fly-only steelhead waters but I do believe, as you do, that there is a certain amount of animosity towards the fly community because they have limited certain rivers such as the North Fork, Hoko and Kalama to fly only in certain sections at certain times of the year.
I have fished the North Fork for years, well not years as in 20 years but years as in as long as Ive been fishing. But anyways, I believe that having it limited to fly-only during the summer months limits the amount of steelhead brough to the beach. There is a certain degree of hooking mortality and we can all agree that it is there and although a selective fishery may produce the same mortality as a fly-only fishery, a well-skilled spoon, spinner or jig fisherman will have no problem outfishing a fly guy. With a downgrade to selective fishery, the Stilly would experience a large growth in pressure, more fish would be caught and thus a higher portion of the run would fall victim to hooking mortality. We should not risk this on such a treasured, rare, semi-healthy, magnificent species like the Deer Creek steelhead.
And as far as Im concerned, I dont want my treasured runs on the Upper North Fork (when the hatchery fish, again return to te river) being clogged with anglers. I love that upper river and love stalking fish in its gin clear pools of late summer. I will admit that I am being selfish.
...and remember, this all coming from a gear-slinging bozo.

Thanks for all the great feed back I have received. I am going to go read Sharon's article in a moment.
I wish everyone here could see what is going on with this dog. He is OB trained. In the yard he is fine, and when in the field by himsef working with birds, or taking him out to places like a flea market, Lowes, petsmart, etc there are no issues as was described when he is going from blind to blind at a HT or monthly club day.
Now take him to a Hunt Test or a group training day and Satan comes out. In that statement I mean he runs all the marks great. It's getting him to the mat in that environment is the issue. This is also the dog that squeals like a pig going out to the water marks in the water series. He is extremely high drive in a HT or group training session where he has a sense of competition
Just some things to think about.
Darrin Greene
It comes with the territory of inexperience. Coming to grips with it is a process.
Here is one "page" dedicated to my vast experience and slow progress in changing. You might find some common ground to provide a better perspective of what the issues really are. It is probably best explained in a single phrase "coined" by my pro friend "It's not the dog."
The Hunt Test "Wise" Dog (link)
Jim Boyer KwickLabsii.com
Totally agree with Darrin. There are other ways to get the excitement up, also. Best money I ever spent was a regular obedience class. Not for the instruction but for crowded environment of 10 other dogs and people. OB was rock solid in the park and yard. Not so much at the first class.
Heck even weekly trips to practice heeling at Petsmart will help. Then move up the distractions.
It isn't an equipment issue, it is a time and exposure issue.
I have been working through similar issues with my dog. After I got an expert involved, the first thing he made ME do was admit the dog was f-ing me in those situations and taking over as pack leader. Its hard to admit sometimes and any time you make an excuse, just insert "my dog is f-ing me". After that it all came down to obedience and I believe the finished product is a dog that pays attention to you and only you, no matter the situation. It is really hard not to let the dog run when in a group training or test but that's when we let our dogs F us the most if we let them.

Dogs are situational learners and also read handlers better than we read dogs. He's learned HT's are exciting and is feeding off your excitement as well. Finding ways to get both in training is key to working through OB.

A "routine" in the holding blinds help also.
A submissive posture like havin g the dog "down" (lie down), so it is facing OUT of the blind, with you standing upright,making sure to keep eye contact with the dog.
The way in wich you call your dog toheel as you leave that blind and progress to the next blind, should also become a "routine".
I step back from the blind, and have the dog come to ME which will be in a direction AWAY from the line, then once the dog is at heel, start a slow deliberate walk to the next blind, keeping that heel standard very high. This is where the Wonder lead works well. Keep slack in the lead, and when coorection is necessary, or when the dog "Pulls" the lead instantly applies pressure.
ALWAYS at training days, set up holding blinds and make this part of every training day,

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great report! It's nice to read about some of the other things that are observed and experienced while fishing. As we all know, fishing isn't just about catching fish! (although it was nice to hear that the flycaster outfished the plugger )
Treatment for albiholism
The last time I smelled salt air was when Jim and I crossed Waquoit Bay on the way home from the Bone Clave two weeks ago. Normally it would be almost unheard of for me to miss a salty weekend in the fall let alone two in a row. Various unusual factors, among which rattlesnakes and auto repairs are promenent, have combined with a very productive early fall to give me a more relaxed attitude towards what is by far my most intense fishing of the season.
That's not to say however that I can just go fishless for two weeks in the fall without consequence!
A timely invite to scout the extreme low water in our local pike river was just the medicine the doctor ordered.
We launched yesterday early afternoon at a deserted ramp which was kinda spooky after the usual shenanigans of Sunday a-noons at that spot. We soon realized it was the extreme low water which was keeping the bass boats and pleasure cruisers off the river. Places where we frequently see big boats blow through at high speed were less than a foot deep. We saw logs and rocks we've gone by dozens of times and never knew about. We even hit something ourselves going all out in a canoe with a 30lb thrust trolling motor. Almost dumped it!
The good side, besides the nonexistent boat traffic was seeing the river and banks at what amounts to low tide. We found holes and channels and dropoffs we never knew about even with sonar.
After a dire forcast and dreary start the day turned out beautiful. Some of the trees are in full flame while others are still green while some of the underbrush is withered brown from thirst. There was barely any breeze to disperse the wonderfull earthy smell of exposed mud flats and new fallen leaves.
Bird migration is in full force with raptors getting most of our attention. Several ospreys were observed as well as the usual turkey vultures and redtails. Broadwing hawks were spotted several times riding thermals waaay up there. A few coopers hawks cruised by, flying the treeline trying to flush foolish song birds. The best sighting was a merlin, a small falcon which we saw twice. The second time we saw it, it chased a bluejay into some thick brush. Immediately a great rucus of screeching jays erupted and the merlin popped back out of the brush with a flock of a dozen irate bluejays hot on his tail!
The Federal Wildlife Refuge had recently reflooded the great meadow in time for the migrating water fowl and the sound of ducks and geese quaking and honking was the background music to the adventure [my buddy claimed they were laughing at his fishing skills. I made no comment ]
I had opted to flyfish despite a screaming case of tennis elbow. My buddy is exclusivley a spin fisher. The amazing thing to me was the fact that I cast huge deerhail bugs all afternoon with very little discomfort. It dawned on me that my relaxed, slowed down, low key short casts were the opposite of the teeth grinding high speed intensity of the albie fishing I've been doing for a month and a half. It was really a pleasure to just be cool and causually work the shoreline without really even caring if I got a hit. It was enlightening to note that my casts were much better and more efficient. I never got a wind knot all day!
Eventually the sun fell and a chill settled which signaled the end of our journey. The sunset was pastel pink and smokey mist rose from the water undisturbed by a breeze. Several beaver marked our passing with loud tail slaps and numerous great blue herons stalking the shallows rose squaking and croaking. For the hundredth time we noted their similarity to those big flying dinosaurs.
we reached the ramp after dark and loaded the vehicles silently each lost in contemplation of a day well spent and the returning rat race of the next day. I hit the road just in time for the start of the blues program on the radio. I drove home with a smile and never thought once about albies.
Oh in case any one was curious, the final tally was a half a dozen bass to three pounds and a small pike for the flyrod and a fat goose egg for the plugger.

- Description
Pennsylvania's railroads were prime targets for the Confederate Army prior to the Battle of Gettysburg, as Rebel troops cut telegraph wires and destroyed bridges in their efforts to isolate Washington from the rest of the Union. After the tragic Battle, President Lincoln traveled via the Northern Central to the Gettysburg battlefield, his train stopping in Hanover Junction on November 18 and 19, 1863. The station was restored to its 1863 Civil War appearance in 2001, and a Civil War museum is open to the public.

'Surveillance' exhibit at Art Museum, Jan. 19-March 31
Posted January 18, 2002; 04:19 p.m.
A multimedia exhibition that examines questions of surveillance at a time when issues of security and civil liberties are increasingly urgent opens at the Princeton University Art Museum Saturday, Jan. 19.
"Anxious Omniscience: Surveillance and Contemporary Cultural Practice" will be on view through Sunday, March 31.
Even prior to the recent growth of powerful surveillance technologies and the shift in focus from military to domestic space, artists around the world have explored the dynamics of watching and being watched, and investigated various questions posed by the new tracking practices. A sampling of their work, across a variety of old and new media, is presented in this exhibition.
For more information, see the news release , call (609) 258-3788 or visit the Art Museum's Web site.

Take a look at the local newspaper, the crime reports will tell the story of the community that we live in: Senior citizens being mugged, daily drive by shootings, children being shot dead while in their beds, daily large group fights, arsons, babies making babies, rampant STD's. Not to mention, the run down properties, large groups of people without jobs, generations of one family unemployed, run down sidewalks and streets, rat problems, sewer problems, closed neighborhood schools, schools without books, failing schools, fighting in schools.
When you look at the overall picture, it becomes clear that a segment of our community is living in chaos. There are neighborhoods that have set their own rules, there is no fear of the police, and the neighborhoods are run by the criminals who live and/or congregate there.
Any child that comes out of the environment mentioned above and who is not traumatized, would be unique.
As we sit at our computers and discuss on blogs how bad children are in our schools and in our community, is there no wonder that these children are acting out? It is all too easy to loose sight of the fact that these children who are acting out are victims of the chaotic city, the chaotic times, in which they live.
Is it any wonder that children in Peoria's inner city are experiencing thoughts, emotions, and feelings of being out of control? They are fearful of the future and are dealing with the anxiety and pain associated with living in chaos the best way they know how.
Events that can induce trauma include the sudden death of a loved one, assaultive violence (combat, domestic violence, rape, torture, mugging), serious accidents, witnessing someone being injured or killed, or discovering a dead body. Trauma is an ordinary day in the life of the children in District #150 and more specifically in Peoria's inner city.
Such adversities experienced for an extended period after the trauma (such as a living in Taft, Harrison, East Bluff, near North Side, etc…, series of different placements, schools closing, or separation from a caregiver) can and does influence the severity of trauma reactions.
Recently I experienced an up close look at a disruptive classroom. While I understood that the children misbehaving were more than likely acting out; while I understood that suspensions are known to be a direct linkage to children being incarcerated; while I understood that children do not learn while they are out of school… it did not stop me from wanting these children to go away, so that the classroom could calm down and so that the children who came to learn could get the education that they are entitled to.
It is a well known fact that in the past, District #150 was all too quick to sideline a certain segment of the student body. As a result, those that were sidelined never received the education that they should have. In an effort to right the wrongs of the past, we can't just now say no we are no longer handling discipline and suspensions like we have in the past, without putting sufficient supports, policies and procedures in place to handle the issues.
There are no easy answers, but it is absolutely imperative that we find it in our hearts to stop blaming the victims. I know that when you are in the trenches getting cussed out by a ten year old, it's difficult. It's also difficult when you are a parent with a student who is caught in the chaos. However, we must all remain mindful of the fact that it will take a village to find a way to pull these children, who are shouting out for help, out of the chaos.

xkoto, the database virtualization start-up, has gotten another $3 million in financing from its backers, GrandBanks Capital and GrowthWorks Canadian Fund.
That makes a total of $13 million since it was founded in 2005. Apparently it's not a new round but an extension of its B round.
xkoto says it will use the money to build its sales force, accelerate customer acquisition and enhance its Gridscale database virtualization widgetry.
The company claims record 2008 sales, saying it added several global corporations as customers and closed the year with 275% growth in the fourth quarter. It says annual revenues were up 73% over 2007.
Major new customer wins include BNSF Railway, CNN, HSBC, Independence Blue Cross, Innovapost, Norfolk Southern Corporation, PUMA AG International, the Texas Department of Transportation and the Toronto Police Department.
Gridscale virtualizes the database infrastructure, distributing the application load horizontally across multiple instances of commercial databases running on clusters of low-cost hardware, mid-range systems and virtual machines. It offers lower costs, improved application performance and continuous availability for business-critical applications.
xkoto expanded its potential market when it rolled out Gridscale for SQL Server. It also released a new version of its flagship product for IBM DB2, which can support mixed operating systems and database versions in the same virtualized database pool, and synchronous and asynchronous database replication, reportedly guaranteeing zero data loss for remote databases.

DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die.
