Algorithm User Guide for RVD
The RVD program takes BAM files of deep sequencing reads in as input. Using a Beta-Binomial model, the algorithm estimates the error rate at each base position in the reference sequence. For each sample, the relative difference between the reference and sample error rate is calculated and tested against the null distribution estimated from the model. The reproducibility of this algorithm has been tested when samples and reference are sequenced in the same lane as well as in different lanes. Data from these reproducibility tests show the algorithm is able to reliably call variants as low as a minor allele fraction of 0.1%. RVD runs in approximately 11 minutes per clinical sample (ex. 131 minutes for 12 700-basepair clinical samples and 3 references).

If you have MATLAB and would like to run the program directly in MATLAB:
Download the program files (26.0 KB)The algorithm is run using the main program file, RVD.m, in MATLAB with the following command:
If you do not have MATLAB or would like to run the program from the terminal:Executable binaries are available for mac and 64-bit Linux. Download the zipped package file appropriate for your operating system:
- » RVD for Linux (342 MB)
- » RVD for Mac (301 MB)
Unzip the package into a directory of your choice.
Once the package is unzipped, the RVD program is now installed!
In order for the command-line program to work correctly it is essential to reference MATLAB compiler runtime version 7.17 in running the program. If MATLAB R2012a is installed on your machine, referencing the location of its installation is equivalent to referencing MCR v7.17 and thus the MCR does not need to be installed. Referencing a different version of the MCR or a version of MATLAB other than R2012a will cause an error message.
Install the MCR 7.17 package:A zipped installer called MCRInstaller.zip will be in the directory. This contains the standalone MATLAB libraries needed by the executable.
- » Unzip the MCRInstaller.zip into a folder called MCR
- » Run install in the MCR folder to install those libraries. Keep track of where that library is installed because you will need to specify the root location when running the RVD executable. (From a MAC, you may choose to click manually on the InstallForMaxOSx application icon to start the install)
- » Some systems may require you to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for maxi64) and XAPPLRESDIR environmental variables. The best way to check this is to run the program. Even if the environmental variables are not manually set, when the program is run it should immediately print out "Seting up environment variables" followed by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or DYLD LIBRARY_PATH) location as shown below:
- » LD_LIBRARY_PATH is <mcr_root>/v717/runtime/glnxa64:<mcr_root>/v717/bin/glnxa64:<mcr_root>/v717/sys/os/glnxa64:<mcr_root>/v717/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/lib/amd64/native_threads:<mcr_root>/v717/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/lib/amd64/server:<mcr_root>/v717/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/lib/amd64
- » DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is <mcr_root>/v717/runtime/maci64:<mcr_root>/v717/sys/os/maci64:<mcr_root>/v717/bin/maci64:/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM:/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries
- » LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
The <mcr_root> is the directory where MCR is installed on your computer. If the variable output does not reflect the above, the program will give an error message about installed libraries and the program will quit immediately. If this happens you will need to set the environmental variables using the following commands with <mcr_root> again being the directory where you have installed MCR:
For LINUX:
- » setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- » setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcr_root>/v717/X11/app-defaults
For MAC:
- » setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
- » setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcr_root>/v717/X11/app-defaults
Alternatively instead of setenv you may use the command:
- » VARIABLE = $VARIABLE\:new_path
- » export VARIABLE
You may check the value stored in each variable using:
- » echo $VARIABLE
The software is now installed and the executable binary for the algorithm is called from run_RVD_system.sh (run_RVD_glnxa64.sh for Linux and run_RVD_mac.sh for mac). The syntax for running the algorithm is:» $ sh run_RVD_system.sh [<mcr_root>/v717] [CONFIGURATION FILE]
example: sh run_RVD_glnxa64.sh /usr/local/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v717 RVD_ex/configFile.txt
Create a configuration file. The format for the configuration file is as follows:
- data path: the file path to the directory where the BAM files are stored
- results path: the file path to the directory where you want the results charts to be stored
- index file name: the path to the index file you must create in order to provide the program with adequate data about the samples to be analyzed. See below for more information about the formatting of the index file.
- ROI: the region of interest with respect to the BAM file. 30:600, for example, would cause bases 30-600 of the sample to be analyzed by the algorithm. The algorithm also has its own region of interest filtering such that the edges of the region of interest will be trimmed to ensure that depth is at least 1000 at the edges of the region to be analyzed.
- resolution threshold: the resolution threshold is a cutoff value that is applied to the minimum centered error percent, a measure of the relative difference between the expected error rate at each position and the error rate actually seen in the sample. Only positions that have been called by the algorithm to be variants and whose centered error percent is above the resolution threshold are included as variants in the output call tables.
Based on empirical analysis of synthetic samples we find an optimal resolution threshold for all mixtures is approximately half of the desired minor allele frequency (MAF) detection level. For example, a 0.05 resolution threshold should be used to detect 0.1% MAF mutants. If the objective is only to maximize sensitivity, a lower threshold should be used. If the objective is only to maximize specificity, a higher threshold should be used.
- reference sequence file: the file path to the reference sequence fasta file that was used to align the BAM sequence data files
- base quality threshold: the base quality threshold is used to filter low quality alignments before performing variant detection. A base quality threshold of 30 is suggested for high sensitivity and specificity. Higher base quality thresholds decrease the reference error estimated by the algorithm and thus increase sensitivity to vey rare variants at higher resolution thresholds but do not significantly increase specificity.
- ASCII base quality offset (optional): an optional parameter to set the ASCII offset used to determine the phred base quality scores from the pileup files. If this line is present, the value in the file will be used as the ASCII offset. If no value is present, the default value is set to 33. Most recently generated sequencing data (Illumina 1.8 and later) uses an ASCII offset of 33 (Sanger format). Most older sequencing data (Illumina earlier than 1.8) uses Solexa format quality scoring and thus requires an ASCII offset of 64.
The configuration file has 6 lines that define file locations and meta information for the algorithm. The following should each be on their own lines:
An example configuration file is shown below:
Create a sample index file. The format for the index file is as follows:
The program also requires comma-separated file that defines the meta-information for each BAM file where each line is in the following format:
tag, sampleName, isReference, pair1BamFile, pair2BamFile
- » tag is the tag used to sequence the given sample. Tag can be a number, 3 base sequence, or any other variable the user chooses to distinguish
- » sampleName allows the user to name the sample
- » isReference determines whether the sample is read as a reference sample (Y) or a non-reference sample (N)
- » pair1BamFile is the name of the bam file containing information for the pair1 read
- » pair2BamFile is the name of the bam file containing information for the pair2 read
An example index file is show below:
The algorithm output is a call table -- a comma-separated file with one line for each base position and each line in the following format:
AlginmentReferencePosition, AlignmentBase, Call ,SecondBase, CenteredErrorPrc, ReferenceErrorPrc, SecondBasePrc
- » AlignmentReferencePosition: the relative position in the provided reference sequence
- » AlignmentBase: the reference base aligned to the given position
- » Call: 1 if a variant is called, 0 if no variant is called
- » SecondBase: the most frequent non-reference base
- » CenteredErrorPrc: the percent error of the sample relative to the percent reference error
- » ReferenceErrorPrc: the percent reference error calculated by the algorithm
- » SecondBasePrc: the percentage of reads that are the second base (not taking into account the inherent error at the position)
The call is made using only the hypothesis test. We recommend thresholding the CenteredErrorPrc to 0.05% or greater depending on the resolution desired to minimize false positive calls.
One output file is created for each sample name provided in your index file.
An example call table is shown below:
In addition to output call tables, a summary text file is created in the results directory that contains information about the estimated error rates in the sample set as calculated by the algorithm.
An example summary file is shown below:

Calculating the base quality and depth ranges of the samples: A MATLAB program that is also available as a deployed MATLAB command line program, run_get_Qual_Depth_Range.sh, is provided that takes in as input a txt file with a list of Samtools pileup format files and outputs base quality minima, maxima, and averages as well as the pre-base quality filter and post-base quality filter minimum, maximum, and average depth for each pileup file in the dataset. It also computes an average of these values across all pileup files and thus across all samples included in the input data set.
Downolad Get_Qual_Depth_Range_Slow Package (68.9 KB)
Calculating the base quality and approximate depth ranges of samples. This program is identical to Get_Qual_Depth_Range_Slow but uses shortcuts to calculate depth that sacrifice the accuracy of depth calculations in order to make the program significantly faster (x vs y). The base quality information calculated is accurate, but the total depth values produced from Get_Qual_Depth_Range_Fast may be off by as much as +/- 10 reads.

You never know where your passions will take you.
For LaGrange County native Bonnie Flood, her passion for colors led her to take up painting years ago after a career in clothing design, jewelry design, interior design, and other artistic endeavors. "When I retired from all that, I needed something with color," Flood said. "I started studying art and became fascinated with that. I regret I hadn't started sooner." Flood made up for lost time by studying painting around the world.
Flood, a 1958 LaGrange High School graduate, now works out of Cumming, Ga., and teaches a painting class every year for two weeks in Boca Grande, Fla. It was on the recommendation of one of her students that got Flood an offer to teach a very unique student – former President George W. Bush.
"He had looked at my website and at what I did and then asked me to come teach him painting for a month," Flood said. "It was very exciting. Every day we started at 9 a.m. and painted until the afternoon." Flood would have lunch with President Bush each day, as well. "I got to know him quite well," she added.
Flood said that Pres. Bush was very eager to learn, which made teaching him very enjoyable. "He was very casual. Very relaxed. He was personable and funny. He has a great sense of humor," Flood recalled.
Flood had no idea what to expect when she was asked to teach him. "He did send me some e-mails of his paintings he had done. They looked promising, even though he had been painting for less than a year," she noted.
The former president enjoyed painting dogs and landscapes. Flood also had him working on painting scenes from where they were in Florida, painting outside, or Plein Air. She added that she is going to Maine later this year to teach. "I'll let him know I'll be there," she said.
"It was quite an experience," Flood said. "I loved him before, but now I have some really good memories. I still can't believe I did that."

When you talk about Magick and Prosperity, one of the belief and magick systems that instantly come to mind is Wicca. Wicca is one of the most empowering belief systems of our time. It brings an eclectic blend of ritualistic activities centered around different gods, goddesses and general integration of nature as a whole. Despite various misconceptions of what some have heard on national news, Hollywood movies, or read in newspapers – Wicca is a very harmonious, balanced and peaceful way of life. That is what my intent is to show with the book Empowerment With Wicca. Being a Wiccan encompasses being in deep appreciate in watching sunrise or sunset, being in the presence of Mother Earth's nature – planting seeds in the fall, seeing it blossom during the sign of Aries – Wicca is natural magick.
In my book, I explore, for the beginner, the spiritual system of Witchcraft. We'll explore how this is a system that emphasizes free will and thought of you, the individual. How it teaches responsibility. Importance of cycles of nature. All of these elements are important when it comes to performing spells. Learn how to hone your craft for wisdom, creativity, harmony and love. Empowerment with Wicca is a unique look at how I was first introduced to the wonderful world magick and witchcraft.

Verification is the process in which additional information is requested either by the U.S. Department of Education, New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority and/or the Office of Student Financial Aid to verify information on a student's FAFSA. Not all students are selected for verification.
- Why was I selected?
- How is a student notified?
- What documents do I need to complete the verification process?
- How long will this process take?
- Why are additional documents requested?
- Will the verification process affect my financial aid award estimate?
- Other FAQs about verification
Why was I selected?
A student's financial aid application (FAFSA) can be selected for the verification process in one of three ways:
- The U.S. Dept. of Education selects a minimum of 30% of Montclair's aid population. In any given academic year, this represents over 3,000 selected FAFSAs. The U.S. Dept. of Education establishes the criteria and selects the financial aid applicants. Although selected by the U.S. Dept. of Education, the verification takes place in Montclair's Financial Aid Office.
- The New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) will select student applications for state verification. This process is separate from the U.S. Dept. of Education process. All document requests will come directly from HESAA and should be returned directly to HESAA. It is possible for a student to be selected by both the U.S. Dept. of Education and HESAA.
- In certain cases (less than 1%) Montclair's Financial Aid Office will select a student's file for verification in order to resolve issues related to conflicting information.
How am I notified?
Federal Verification:
Students receive an e-mail notification via their MSU e-mail address. The e-mail message directs the student to review the requested documents on NEST. All students will see the required documentation listed on the "Student Requirements" within the Eligibility tab on NEST.
State Verification:
NJ HESAA sends notification to students directly. Students will not be able to see this on their WESS accounts or NEST.
What documents do I need to complete the verification process?
Generally the required documents are:
- Verification Worksheet: Which can be found on our Forms page.
- IRS Data Retrieval Process (Preferred Method)- You may choose to do the data retrial process of your FAFSA, the process to do so is located here: IRS Data Retrieval Process These are the step by step instructions to assist you and is the quickest way to clear verification. You can also watch this step by step video on how to do the process: IRS Data Retrieval Process Video
- Tax Return Transcript - The Federal Government is now requiring students to obtain a tax return transcript instead of submitting the Federal 1040. Please note that we cannot and will not accept a 1040 under any circumstances. Students will need to contact the IRS to request the tax transcript. You can request the transcript by going online and requesting a transcript online: Order an IRS Tax Transcript Online or to be mailed: Order an IRS Tax Transcript by Mail, or by contacting the IRS at 800-908-9946. Dependent students will need to submit this form for themselves and for their parents. Independent students that are married will need to submit this form for themselves and for their spouse.
- If you do not file taxes, we will need a copy of your W-2's and a non-filing statement. ***If you do not know if you have to file taxes, please go to the IRS's website for more information.***
- Verification worksheet located on our forms page
- Copies of the W-2's used to file the taxes. If you do not have copies of the W-2's for the tax year submitted, you may order a copy by completing the following form: 4506-T and mail or fax to the IRS directly.
In addition to the documents listed above, the Financial Aid Office may require a more detailed explanation of the students/family's income, investment value, or statement of monthly income vs. monthly household expenses. If that is the case, the information required will be posted under the Eligibility tab on NEST. Failure to submit the requested documentation will delay disbursement of your financial aid.
How long will this process take?
Students are advised to submit their documents within 30 days of notification. The verification process can take 7 to 8 weeks depending on the time of the year.
If additional documentation is necessary after the initial review is completed, then the processing time will be extended until the additional documents are received and reviewed.
Why are additional documents requested?
Generally there are two reasons:
• Incomplete documents;
• The original documents reveal information that was not indicated on the FAFSA and requires further clarification.
Will the verification process affect my financial aid award estimate?
Significant differences in the information reported on the FAFSA compared with the actual tax return transcript or household size documentation may result in a change in the financial aid award estimate. Montclair will submit the necessary correction to the FAFSA processor. A student is notified of any changes by an e-mail message to their MSU e-mail account. The e-mail message notifies the student to review their aid NEST.
Other FAQs about verification
- Will I get selected every year I apply for aid?
If the information on the FAFSA meets the the U.S. Dept. of Education's selection criteria in a subsequent year, the student's FAFSA data will again require verification in the new academic year.
- Why was I selected this year and not in previous years?
Every academic year is considered independently from the previous year. The fact that a student's file was selected or not selected in the previous year has no bearing on why a student was selected in the current academic year.
- Why is the State asking for documentation?
HESAA's verification criteria and processes are completely separate from the federal process. The documentation must be submitted to HESAA by the student prior to their deadlines to complete the student's state award. A student's FAFSA might be selected by both the U.S. Dept. of Education and HESAA and therefore require submission of the same documentation to both MSU and HESAA. HESAA may also request other documentation not required by the federal process.
- Why does MSU select a file for verification?
If the Financial Aid Office has information on a student or parent's income or household which conflicts with information on the FAFSA, then it is a federal regulation to resolve the conflict. MSU resolves the discrepant information by institutionally selecting the student's FAFSA for verification
- What happens if I don't complete verification?
Estimated Financial Aid Awards for students selected for federal verification will get canceled, around July 1 if the requested documents have not been received. Please check WESS or NEST to confirm the Office of Financial Aid has received all requested documents. Awards will be reinstated or updated once verification is complete.

somewhere I found, that Context should be a dependency (in profile *.info), but which I think really helped me was to upload newest version of the default content module (https://drupal.org/project/defaultcontent). Also you can try the diference between installing App "Default content" and not to install that.

Building Community through Public Art Making at MSAP
Students at Brooklyn's Middle School for Art & Philosophy are building confidence and cultivating community through a public mural project.
UAP Teaching Artist Elizabeth Traina reports on some exciting public art-making happening in her visual art residency at Brooklyn's Middle School for Art and Philosophy.
Working on a red brick wall in this bustling middle school's cafeteria, MSAP students are experiencing the powerful effects of community art-making.
Attracted by the sight of paint brushes and ladders, fellow students and teachers pause to watch Elizabeth's class engaged in painting a recreation of Raphael's famous mural "The School of Athens" the original of which can be seen at the Vatican.
The figures in the painting are icons; representations of classical philosophers, they are stand-ins for some of the major pillars of western philosophy.
In line with Urban Arts Methodology, which takes students from experiencing a seminal work of art to creating their own original artwork, students are responding to this visual art "masterpiece" by working together to paint a mural that makes the teachings of the ancient Greeks visible, known, and integrated into the modern MSAP school environment and culture.
Says Elizabeth, "In our adaptation of The School of Athens, both MSAP Students and the original philosophers will be visually represented. The fresco, framed by an arch, is a passageway…and young people can enter the mural and engage with different philosophical ideas and fundamental teachings that are relevant to their lives today. Students involved in the project are learning important artistic tools such as depth of field and perspective, as well online casino as color theory and general painting techniques."
Besides learning fundamental painting technique, one of the challenges MSAP students have is to find ways to simultaneously honor the classical themes of the painting, while acknowledging the diversity of student voice and identity at their school.
To help achieve this outcome, students from UAP Teaching Artist Mike Cordero's Design Class have been invited to visit the mural club to offer their feedback, share ideas, and lend a hand.
"Everyone in the school…students, administrators, even parents, are invited to come raise a paintbrush. We want everyone make their contribution to this important community mural project."
Week by week the art work is coming together. Stay tuned as the students of MSAP work to fully develop their ideas for the mural.
Elizabeth says that there is "a dynamite energy" building around the mural, and she expects that students will bring the project to completion in the spring of 2012.

'Marie Antoinette' - a Quotational Reference Guide
"I know it's not for everyone. It has been mixed. People either seem to get really get into it or not like it. But I'd rather make something that has people talking and different opinions rather than just a mediocre response." – Sofia Coppola
In the five months since a handful of boos ("four people…Maybe it was six" claims the director) rained down at the premiere at Cannes, it seems as if Sofia and team Antoinette has spent as much time justifying, as promoting a biopic not necessarily concerned with, or constrained by historical perspective. Essentially, those who prefer their style/substance ratio skewed in favor of the former will find plenty to love. The other camp will find true schadenfreude in the knowledge that there is a line forming for critics in contempt of a vision that runs precariously parallel to the director's own golden-spooned upbringing. Something for everyone – rather than solely summarizing the polarized reviews (see Metacritic), we offer you the critics, director, and cast in quotes:
The swooning apologists
"To say that this movie is historically irresponsible or politically suspect is both to state the obvious and to miss the point…a thoroughly modern confection, blending insouciance and sophistication, heartfelt longing and self-conscious posing with the guileless self-assurance of a great pop song. What to do for pleasure? Go see this movie, for starters" – The New York Times
"You get a clever, visually gorgeous theme that's both emblematic of an unfathomable life and somehow weirdly familiar…a startlingly original and beautiful pop reverie that comes very close to being transcendent. – Los Angeles Times
"The work of a mature filmmaker who has identified and developed a new cinematic vocabulary to describe a new breed of post-post-post-feminist woman. And that contemporary creature is also of the artist's own invention." – Entertainment Weekly
The frothing dissenters
"It is not enough to merely hate Marie-Antoinette. One needs to organize against it, storm its gates, demand that certain parties lose their heads." – Hollywood Elsewhere
"Historians can't say for certain if Marie…actually said "Let them eat cake.'…I kept picturing Sofia Coppola offering up a big plate of icing — not even cake — for audiences: Pink, creamy costumes and music and sumptuous visuals with nothing under it to give the sugar-shock-esque, immediate buzz of the movie any real weight." – Cinematical
"Like licorice, Marie Antoinette is a confection you either love or hate, and both affects seem tied to your feeling about the director herself and her apparent identification with Louis XVI's bride. For my part, I can definitely say that I love licorice and hate Marie Antoinette. But I'm still wrestling with the enigma of Sofia Coppola." – Slate
A director, in steadfast defense
On the boo-birds at Cannes – "It's very French…there was a standing ovation, too. I think the booing was not really that loud. It was picked upon and reported because, you know, it's a better story than a standing ovation."
"Well, um, when I was growing up, it was Godard, Truffaut, the French New Wave. The style was so cool to me."
So, your own aesthetic is essentially about style rather than, say, story or drama?
"Um, I guess. I mean, I've always been drawn to individuals really, people with their own distinctive but identifiable style that no one else has. That's all I try to do, find my own distinctive way of doing things." – Sofia Coppola, The Guardian
On keeping the much-discussed pink Converse sneakers, shot by brother Roman Coppola (second unit director) as a joke, in the film: "We decided to leave it in, just, you know, to have a playful element – it's a teenage world…and uh, for fun…because I could. – Video, NYFF press conference
Schwartzman – happy to be working
"I only had about 13 lines in the whole movie, and it got to the point where I'd be like. 'Oh, fuck! I can't do it!' I swear I couldn't have done it all without the costumes. Because Sofia told me not to use an accent, so I was like, 'Oh my god, I'm just going to be me, and I'm going to look stupid. But you put on the costumes and you just transform – the clothes totally change the way you hold yourself." – Jason Schwartzman, Nylon Magazine (print only), Oct 06′
The infinitely quotable star – Kirsten Dunst
"For me, it became a very sensory experience because there weren't a lot of words, so I concentrated on things like the touch of fabric, or the taste of a cookie." – Nylon
"It's kind of like a history of feelings rather than a history of facts" – Hollywood.com
"I'm not going to sound like a crazy woman. I have no idea. There are moments when you're like, 'I hope she's okay with me playing her.'…I think it all became about like a little kid would. 'I want to play with this; I want to watch this movie. Now I want to eat sugar.' That was kind of my way of navigating and making her a sympathetic person." – About.com
"Sofia lets things breathe. I like the fact that there wasn't a lot of dialogue, and not so much explaining things all the time. I like working like that. Now I'm reading scripts and I'm like, 'Oh, my God, they talk so much!"' – Entertainment Weekly
Marie Antoinette opens today

Danielle Lawrie and the University of Washington softball team staved off exhaustion and a gritty Georgia foe Sunday night at the Women's College World Series to advance to Monday's championship series against top-ranked Florida.
It took a marathon effort, the kind that won't soon be forgotten by anyone who witnessed the determination shown by two teams that dueled through two long games on a hot day in Oklahoma City.
Washington finally won the battle of wills with a 9-3 victory in the second game after Georgia outlasted the Huskies 9-8 in a four-and-half hour opening game that went nine innings.
If you happened to catch the action on ESPN, this was sports drama at its finest, with the normally dominant Lawrie looking like Bobby Ayala on his worst day in the early going, but somehow pulling things back together and continuing to throw every pitch of every inning for the Huskies and eventually staving off the big-hitting Bulldogs of the SEC.
Lawrie threw 285 pitches in the two games, which lasted a combined 6 hours and 55 minutes before Georgia's spent pitching staff finally gave way. The Bulldogs used four different pitchers after playing a pair of games Saturday as well.
"Georgia is a great team and they are definitely one of the best offensive teams that I have faced," said Lawrie, the national player of the year. "That's the fifth time that I have faced them this year, so if they weren't really on to me they wouldn't deserve to be here. They can hit great pitching."
Here's a good story on ESPN.com and another from Christian Caple of the UW Daily about Sunday's drama as well.
After playing the second game well into the night in Oklahoma, the Huskies (49-12) have no time to rest up under the WCWS format, however. They open the tournament's best-of-three championship series against top-ranked Florida (63-3) today at 5 p.m. on ESPN2.
Washington has never won an NCAA softball title, though the Dawgs advanced to the championship game in 1996 and '99. This is the first time the Huskies have been to the title round since the tournament went to the best-of-three series.
Lawrie slugged a grand slam in the first inning of Sunday's second game and Morgan Stuart also homered to cap off a 6-for-8 day at the plate by the UW third baseman.
First baseman Niki Williams, who hit two home runs in the first game, added an RBI in the nightcap to give her a WCWS record 10 for the week. Seven of those came in Sunday's opener as she hit a grand slam and a three-run shot.
Lawrie (40-8) was also solid in the circle after Georgia scored a season-high nine runs – seven earned – off the National Player of the Year to force the deciding game. With the season on the line, Lawrie stepped up her game, allowing just three runs on five hits and striking out 12 after fanning just 14 in the previous two games against the Bulldogs this week combined.
After giving up three runs in the third, Lawrie retired 13 of the final 15 batters of the game, nine via strikeout. Her 12 strikeouts give her 501 on the season, making her the first UW pitcher ever to hit 500 strikeouts in a season and just the fourth in Pac-10 history.
UW's first three batters in the lineup – Ashley Charters, Kimi Pohlman and Jenn Salling – went a combined 7-for-12 in the second game. Charters went 3-for-4 with two runs, an RBI and a triple while Salling was 3-for-4 with a run, a double and two RBI. Pohlman chipped in with a hit and two runs scored.
The Huskies will now turn their attention to a best-of-three series with a Florida team that has won 29 consecutive games. UW is one of just three teams to defeat the Gators this season, winning a 1-0, nine-inning thriller back in February in the team's only match-up this year.
The series continues Tuesday, with a third game scheduled for Wednesday if necessary. All games are at 5 p.m. on ESPN2.
It'll be interesting to see how much the Huskies have left in the tank. Florida needed just one game Sunday to reach the title series, beating Alabama 6-5 in seven innings, while Washington was expending every ounce of energy to survive 16 innings against Georgia.
The Huskies went the same route two weeks ago, surviving a 15-inning marathon against Massachusetts in the super regionals when Lawrie threw 395 pitches in two games in the same day.
"Obviously we don't take the easy road anywhere we go," said UW coach Heather Tarr. "I don't think that we could have gotten through today having not gone through what we did to get here.
"We did an awesome job coming back after a tough emotional loss today. It speaks volumes of what our team is about from the seniors on down to the freshmen. I'm just proud to be associated with all of these awesome young people."

I've posted Entry #152 to my weekly Valuation-Informed Indexing column at the Value Walk site. It's called Buy-and-Hold and Valuation-Informed Indexing Cannot Co-Exist.
Juicy Excerpt: We all learn more when we have available to us smart people who challenge our thinking. I would not be happy on a discussion board populated solely by Valuation-Informed Indexers. I of course like it when people say that the strategies that I advocate possess merit. But I learn more when I am challenged than I do when I am applauded. There have been several times during the 11 years of discussion in which I have solved some riddle that had long troubled me because a sharp Buy-and-Holder posed a challenge in such a way as to help me finally see through to the core of the dispute.
There are obviously lots of people who view Buy-and-Hold as the ideal strategy. We need to have those people's opinions reflected in all discussions of stock investing. The normal thing in our society is to permit both sides to have their say. Democrats don't need to acknowledge that Republicans are right to acknowledge that they have a right to speak up. And Republicans don't need to acknowledge that Democrats are right to acknowledge that they have a right to speak up. We are a diverse nation. But we are united in a belief in free speech. So the ideal would be if Buy-and-Hold and Valuation-Informed Indexing could co-exist.
I no longer believe that is possible.

Last Summer, my family and friends decided to enjoy an in-city-vacation and camped out at St. Andrews State Park. The plan was simple, get a nice quiet spot while the post-spring-break-pre-summer-limbo-season kept the beaches empty, hit the shore during the Pompano fish run and spend the nights by the fire eating what we catch and having an all-around good time. We spent only a few bucks for the campsite, even fewer bucks for bait shrimp and sand fleas from Half Hitch Tackle, and within hours we were catching more huge Pompano than we could handle. We just cracked open some fold-out chairs, cast lines, waited and the lines danced like Muhammad Ali. We caught so much fish, we were able to spread the wealth and share some with other campers. It was a near-perfect time and, best of all, the fishing was free, both in cost and in need of a license.
On August 1st, the freedom to fish, as I did casting from the shore, will no longer exist. Starting on said date, a new and much debated shoreline fishing fee will go into effect forcing anglers as well as anyone who wishes to fish from bridges, docks, piers or structures attached to the shore, to pay $9 for the new license to do so. This fee, denounced by the likes of Representative Jimmy Patronis, was approved by the State Fishing and Wildlife Conservation Commission as a countermeasure against a federal license that had the potential to increase saltwater fees up to $25.00. Money generated by the new license, estimated at nearly a million dollars annually, will go towards protecting marine resources, research and law enforcement.
While nearly everyone will fall under the licensing umbrella, there are a few exceptions. If you are a senior, a child, disabled or carry a military license, the fee will be waived. One nice exception, for those who have paid to fish off the newly completed Dan Russell Pier on Front Beach Road, is that all the necessary fees have been paid for you. You pay to fish and the license is included. Also, if you are fishing with a non-mechanical device like a cane pole or are under government assistance you would not be required to pay the fee.
But for most of us, in only a week, gone will be the days of free shore fishing. So next season when the Pompano are running, I suppose I'll have to run and get my wallet before a cast my line.
Edited by Jason Koertge
I just got off the phone with Representative Jimmy Patronis, who fought tooth and nail against this "revenue-grab" by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. A recent News Herald article quotes that he gets "hot under the collar" discussing this topic, and I found this to be very much true, and with great reason. "Some things people should just not have to pay for," Patronis said. I agree, and I also agree that it's more than that. This was a shady way for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to generate revenue from people who largely go unheard when it comes to legislature matters, and I commend Jimmy for going to bat for us.
Two things really aggravate me about this.
1.) Why should I have to pay if I want to go throw a line in the water at a public beach, whether I catch something or not. I mean, it's not all about the money. If I have a passion, I could scrounge up an extra $9, but why should I have to make an extra trip somewhere to make the payment? I, for example, don't ever fish, but now if I want to, I have to make a trip somewhere and purchase a license, rather than just walk over to the beach with my son. This is a hit below the belt, a shady way to make an extra buck. I know the different agencies are hurting for money, but so is everyone else. This isn't the time to start dreaming up new ways of charging citizens money.
2.) Why should I have to sacrifice my privacy just to go fishing. Why does the federal or state government need to know my name, address, phone number or email address just because I want to catch some dinner (not that I could catch anything ;-p). It's like the whole DNA thing, what if I get caught up in some unfortunate circumstance that results in some felony charge when I didn't do anything and they end up with MY DNA in THEIR database, then drop all charges. Why should I have to take a hit when it was someone else's mistake? Look, I understand the need for data, I'm in the data collection business, but in my business, I PAY for the data I get, I don't charge you for it. Imagine, if you will, if I charged you to sign up for my newsletter; what if I charged a usage fee for everyone that read pcbdaily? Would you like that? I would hate to have to justify that argument. I'm feeling guilty just thinking about it? But that's the point, isn't it? The government always seems to be doing things with a clear conscience that for the normal person, would inflict a pang of guilt in the center of their gut.
Representative Patronis said that he received a call from pollster the other day asking him about his fishing habits. I don't think I should have to endure a phone call from some random pollster just because I want to fish off a public beach.
The point is that this was a senseless revenue grab by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. But, Representative Jimmy Patronis said this isn't the end of the fight. He's got some ideas to help solve this issue in the future.Print Story

While the star relationship of this blog is the one between corn and alkaline substrates, the star pairing in this recipe is between the blueberries and lemon zest. The sweet cornmeal cake makes a great, full-bodied delivery for these two, letting them shine slightly brighter than a regular flour cake would. As always nixtamal makes a wonderful substitute for the regular cornmeal, and also makes for a softer cake. Continue reading
Recipe: Jonnycake Bread (The Bryant House Restaurant)
I've yet to tackle cornbread or jonnycakes on this blog, and for good reason: this is an area of great contention. Everyone has a great cornbread recipe they righteously defend, and the same is true for jonnycakes. For many, love of the latter even extends to the right kind of cornmeal to use. Perhaps one day I'll have an informed opinion on jonnycakes (while, on the other hand, I'm no exception to the cornbread rule!), but in the meantime, this cake recipe from The Bryant House Restaurant, courtesy of Bon Appetit, will have to do.

Perspective: The Cultural (and Emotional) Side of Food; or, "if they complain, I'm never cooking for them again."
Food is often exalted as an important aspect of heritage, of culture, and even emotion. Yet, many times, underlying this exaltation is an assumption that food, and especially taste, is inherently biological, that what I think is good to eat is the same for all people. What taste good to me, what looks good to me, tastes and looks good to everyone else. Since I like chocolate and milk and bacon, all others must. These things taste good to me, so they must taste good to you. As such, we are quick to call attention to those foods that are strange or seem even inedible to us as disgusting or gross, and we never think twice about it. By viewing food and taste as inherently biological, we treat these negative words as facts, and not what they are–judgements. Continue reading
Recipe: Sweet Cornmeal Pie
With the days growing shorter, the leaves beginning to change, and the temperature beginning to drop, one of my favorite times of the year approaches: roasting and baking time. This marks the first of what I'm sure will be numerous recipes to follow that deal with various ways hominy and related products can be incorporated within these two culinary methods. This recipe for a simple sweet pie is made with cornmeal, not hominy, but I've substituted the 1/2 c. cornmeal for a 1/2 c. finely ground nixtamal and it worked just fine. I also enjoy adding both cinnamon and nutmeg, giving the pie a more seasonal flavor. Continue reading
Homemade Hominy
Let us be clear–this post is about making your own nixtamalized hominy, your own boiled maize kernels that have been soaked in an alkaline substrate, which will not only make processing them easier, but will also enhance their flavor. If you simply want to soak your dried corn in water then grind/cook it, this is not the post for you. You may argue that this is hominy just the same, but I'm taking a historical perspective–for centuries, hominy was nixtamalized, maize and alkaline treatment married in a prolific foodway. This may not be the hominy you know, but this is the hominy you will soon learn to make if you keep reading. Continue reading
Food History and Recipe: Hominy Muffins (Rufus Estes, 1911)
Despite recent misinformation regarding Rufus Estes (he was, in fact not the first African-American cookbook writer, but he was the first African-American railway cookbook writer), this recipe for hominy muffins, as well as the life and occupation of its author, provides a fascinating snapshot of the social and cultural associations attached to hominy during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Continue reading
Buying Specialty Corns
Like most fruits and vegetables, there are hundreds of varieties of corn, each with its own peculiarities and nuances. However, I'll bet that unlike apples or tomatoes, your local grocery store doesn't carry several varieties. In fact, for most varieties of corn, you'll have to grow it if you want to eat it.
What follows is not a list of all corns known, but instead specific varieties I've been able to source on the Internet. (Most generalized hominy or heirlooms corns, such as "white hominy corn" or "yellow cornmeal" are not included.) Some are from seed companies, where a pound may run $25 or more. Some, though, are more economical. Most of those listed under cornmeal are already ground, and to date, none indicate they were nixtamalized. Continue reading
Soured Corns (1922, 2015): A Tale of Two Fermentations
Many people are surprised when they find out that the native groups who lived in the prehistoric and early historic Eastern Woodlands did not make their own fermented, alcoholic beverages. This wasn't for lack of suitable materials–corn, as many know, makes a fine beer and liquor. History and culture are likely the culprits. Continue reading
Ode to Maize (1952), Pablo Neruda
While Pulitzer-prize winning poet Pablo Neruda is well-known internationally for his love poems, he also wrote many odes which were celebrations of ordinary things–an artichoke, salt, a large tuna in the market, his socks. Some of the odes are dedicated to important influences in his life, such as the poet Walt Whitman, or the act of aging. Continue reading

► Hawai'i's Animal Quarantine Law
Hawai`i is rabies-free. Hawai`i's quarantine law is designed to protect residents and pets from potentially serious health problems associated with the introduction and spread of rabies. All dogs and cats, regardless of age (puppies and kittens included) or purpose, must comply with Hawai`i's dog and cat import requirements.
Chapter 4-29 Hawai`i Administrative Rules, governs the importation of dogs, cats and other carnivores into Hawai`i. This law states that dogs and cats meeting specific pre- and post-arrival requirements may qualify for 5-day–or-less quarantine program, which has a provision for direct release at Honolulu International Airport after inspection. (See "Checklist For 5-Day-Or-Less Program" for details.)
Furthermore, the law requires dogs and cats not meeting all of the specific 5-Day-Or-Less program requirements to be quarantined for up to 120 days upon arrival In Hawai`i. (See "Hawaii Rabies Quarantine Information Brochure" for details on 120-day quarantine.)
Prohibited Animals: The regulation of animal breeds and species that are permitted to enter Hawaii is under Plant Quarantine Branch jurisdiction and administrative rules. Non-domestic dogs and cats and hybrids such as wolf, wolf cross, Dingo, Bengal, Savannah, etc are prohibited under Plant Quarantine (PQ) law. Refer to Plant Quarantine's animal guidelines for importation.
Puppies and Kittens: Due to the minimum amount of time needed to prepare a puppy or kitten to meet the requirements of the 5-Day-Or-Less program, a puppy or kitten will be about 10 months of age by the time the preparations are completed. Puppies and kittens not able to meet all of the requirements for the 5-Day-Or-Less program will be quarantined for 120 days.
Hawaii Resident Pets: Owners wishing to leave Hawai`i with their pets and return without extended quarantine must meet all requirements listed on the "Checklist Only For Resident Dogs And Cats Originating From Hawai`i And Returning For The 5-Day-Or-Less Program." The length of the waiting period after a successful rabies blood test is modified and must be completed before leaving Hawai`i. See "Checklist Only For Resident Dogs And Cats Located in Hawaii that are Departing and Returning to Hawaii under the 5-Day-Or-Less Program" for details.
Re-Entry Fee Requirements: For pets re-entering Hawaii after completing a Hawai`i rabies quarantine program, click here for requirements when a reduced "Re-entry" fee for Direct Airport Release or 5-Day Or-Less quarantine applies.
Direct Release on Neighbor Islands: Pets may now qualify for direct release at Kona Airport (Big Island), Kahului Airport (Maui) and Lihue Airport (Kaua`i). See "Checklist for Requesting Direct Airport Release at Kona, Kahului and Lihue Airports."
Pets from Areas Exempted from Rabies Quarantine: For pets arriving from exempt areas follow Checklist for Pets Arriving from British Isles, Australia, Guam and New Zealand [Rev. 11/05]
Note for Guam: See FORMS section below for the Affidavit for Export from Guam to Hawai`i.

Kelcey Carlson got a seriously chilly reception when she arrived in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago from North Carolina, but she knows things will warm up. The new KMSP-TV Fox 9 anchor was greeted by brutally cold temps that kept her and her family from moving into their house right away.
"We arrived on a Monday night, and the next day it was going to be in the negatives," explained the good-natured Carlson, who most recently anchored and reported at WRAL-TV in Raleigh, N.C. "Wednesday was going to be almost 20 degrees, so the movers asked us if we could give them one more day, and we said sure. Then we'd have happy movers putting furniture down nicely."
Now that Carlson and her family, which includes husband Dave Kent and their two young boys, Charlie and Kellen, have settled into their new Chanhassen home, things have warmed up considerably. The boys are enjoying making snowmen, sledding and going to the Minnesota Children's Museum. Kent, a Clear Channel radio host who's heard at stations in Raleigh, Phoenix and Detroit, is working out of the local Clear Channel studios and picking up some shifts on KOOL 108. And Carlson, who grew up in northern Indiana, said her first few days on Fox 9 have been "so far, so good," adding that her colleagues have made the transition "easy" and "comfortable."
One of Carlson's passions is running, and she tries to log around 45 miles a week. She has already joined a local running group.
"I was cutting off the phone, I was cutting off everything and just alone with my thoughts," said Carlson, 39, about when she started running. "I'd go out and run and come up with great story ideas. The way I would want to write a story would come together on a run. Or I would just dream. In today's busy world, it's hard to find time to dream."
A marathon runner, Carlson's best time is three hours and five minutes. She has participated in five Boston Marathons including last year's event where two bombs went off killing three and injuring more than 250 people. When the bombs exploded, Carlson was already on her way to the airport to fly home to North Carolina. Instead of getting on the plane, she turned around and stayed an extra day to cover the tragedy for her TV station.
"It makes me sad for the city of Boston," she said about the bombings. "I still to this day can't believe it happened."
Carlson hopes to return to Boston in April to run her sixth marathon in the city.
And while she has adjusted to running in the Minnesota cold, Carlson said she's looking forward to warmer times ahead.
"This is fine for now, but I know it's going to be spectacular when it gets warm," she said.

Getting paid $29 million a year gives you some leeway to speak your mind.
John Legere is the CEO of T-Mobile, and here's something I never thought I'd type: he really made me like T-Mobile today. I'm sure that feeling will fade soon, but Mr. Legere tapped into something very fundamental to my soul in his address to industry journalists at a press conference, which is my fanatical hatred of telecom companies (in this case, the ones besides T-Mobile).
Some people think that claiming that the people who run AT&T and Verizon are "raping you for every penny" because "they f***ing hate you" went a bit too far. I admit, I really don't like rape comparisons of any kind, and maybe it was too far. I also admit that I loathe the people he's talking about so much that I will probably overlook it.
Here are some more of his remarks:
"Why don't AT&T and Verizon offer unlimited data plans? A.) They can't. B.) They're greedy bastards."
"Six billion dollars that creates the biggest cacophony of bullshit in history."
"These high and mighty duopolists that are raping you for everything you have, if they could do something nice for you, they would. They f*cking hate you."
I'm not about to start a cult of John Legere. He's pretty proud of his frank and vulgar speaking style, which is cool, but he's still a telecom CEO. He appears to be a better one, but that's like saying "I'm gonna go hang out with that grizzly bear, because he's much nicer than the others." I'm still pumped he talked smack about the other grizzlies.
See the full video here. I just hope this post doesn't end up getting throttled by Verizon.

Hi there,
I just started building a new blog in Twenty Fourteen, and everything's been going smoothly except for this small issue I ran into. I added several Twenty Fourteen Ephemera widgets to my Content Sidebar, and because Ephemera doesn't seem to allow Standard post types in this theme, I picked Asides for one of my post types. I called this particular widget "Events" and that's how it shows up in the sidebar. However, when you scroll down to the bottom of the widget, instead of the link saying "more events," it says "more asides," which looks a bit strange. I can't seem to find any way to change this. Does anyone know if there's a way for Twenty Fourteen Ephemera to say "more (of the same things displayed in this widget)" as opposed to "more (of the same post formats)?" I hope it makes sense...
Thanks in advance!
The blog I need help with is heysaltlake.wordpress.com.

... the only question is whether the number,which printed at 56.2, down from 62.2, and missing expectations of 60.0, is horrible enough to send stocks soaring. Based on some of the core numbers it may be: the headline nuimber was the worst since November 2009, the miss was the biggest since September 2009, Production of 57.1 was the lowest since September 2009, New Orders slide to 57.4 from 63.3, Supplier deliveries lowest since September 2011, and so on. The only good print was employment which mysteriously rose from 56.3 to 58.7, just in time for the NFP print to come really, really ugly. On, and Joe LaVorgna was at 61.0: way to earn that bonus Joe. ISM downward revisions to come. But not from Joe- look for upward revisions there. Finally, comment #6 from the PMI respondents says it all: "Despite all of the rhetoric to the contrary, it looks like the air got let out of the balloon."
The most interesting part from the release, the survey respondents. #4 FTMFW. #6 and #9 are pretty good too.
- Seems there is a calm out there.
- Extensive off-shoring of manufacturing not without unseen cost. Apron strings are much harder to
cut than originally anticipated. Improvements are often slow and painful. Yields far lower as a
result. Tight inventories at suppliers continue to constrain inventory turn improvements by
increasing risk of spike induced outages.
- High oil cost is creating a cost burden for inbound freight & higher material conversion costs. A
sustained increase in the cost of oil (or staying high at the current cost) will have a negative
impact on our business and the economy in general because goods and services will cost more and
the population will have less to spend on those goods and services. Much of the oil rise seems to
be speculation and is rooted in the fear of lack of supply rather than true supply and demand.
- Same, same.
- Generally seeing a positive trend in orders.
Some supplier lead times are decreasing. Their backlog is decreasing as is ours.
Automotive related orders have greatly increased from one year ago, but other areas of business
appear to be softening.
- Despite all of the rhetoric to the contrary, it looks like the air got let out of the balloon.
- New orders down a little this month but testing & quoting is up. We are expecting a lot of orders
in the near future.
- China inflation to hit in second Qtr.
- Lending is picking up but only to borrowers with stellar credit.

Right personality and style must be incorporated in poster printing
Poster printing is all about style and personality. When most of you want to differentiate your business products and services from other business establishments, make sure to develop a unique business style. Lots of business establishments most of the time think that boosting their services and offers will immediately improve their business sales and bring clients their doorstep. Most of them also mistakenly assume that their clients are so trusting and positive about business establishments that most of them would usually spread word of mouth about any and every business product or service that meets their expectations.
The truth of business marketing and promotions is that, style still wins over substance. Image building and making perceptions through promotions and advertisement is still as vital in making the sale as anything else. To further improve your know how about these things, all you have to do is to just read on below and understand.
• Make sure to establish your presence – unless you tell clients about your business, they cannot bring their business to your business establishment. Although posters in themselves are unlikely to provide you the sales that you and your business needs, it more often than not sets the ground for gaining client awareness. In fact, these prints are hardly planned to send business promotional messages. These things are especially planned to be large and colorful, and with every little message other than your business name. Most of the time, it simply contains your business name and logo, and maybe a slogan or even a short business promotional message every now and then.
Occasionally, it also deals with business promo mechanics and such, but it is considered as a poor venue for you to discuss the complex features or go into the details of why your business is the best there is. Its only aim is to make a shallow wide scale awareness that your business exists and what type of business it is.
• Make sure to build credibility – business promotions and advertisement more often than not have a negative connotation for most people who are tired of being advertised or promoted to over and over by big business establishments with failed expectations. It might sound like a negative argument of getting your posters printed, but you can this as an opportunity. Most people go to large business establishments because of the familiarity they have with them. From experience, they know larger is seldom better, but they are more stable and reliable. They might also denounce the impersonal service and inflexible policies and rules that more often than not fail to meet individual needs, but at least they are sure it meets the business standards.
You and your business can be the best of both worlds. The commercially planned and printed posters more often than not sets you apart from other and helps you avoid all the negative perceptions against freelance and home based businesses. All your clients will most of the time think that you must have a large business capita; in affording professionally printed posters, and have lots of employees working behind doors.
• Choose the best printer – your poster printing services will not be a quality one if it is not printer by a reliable and trusted online printer. This is because only online printer can provide you with the best quality posters that you can always depend on.

Franchise news
Franchise branch continues to grow
Franchising is expanding throughout Europe. According to a report published by the news agency, Pressetext, the most recent market surveys have revealed that the franchise branch has a high number of employees and a turnover amounting to billions of euros. In Germany, for example, there are around 430,000 people working in franchise businesses generating an overall turnover of 39.6 billion euros; in Austria more than 100,000 employees achieve total sales of 4.5 billion euros.
"The service branch has the lion's share making up 50 percent of the franchise branch. The Top 20 businesses, for example, include education (private tuition, study groups, language schools) and tourism," Pascale Taube, spokeswoman at the German Franchise Association (DFV), said to the news agency. According to the latest statistics published by the Austrian Franchise Association, there are more than 6,900 franchise locations in Austria with franchisees employing on average six people per outlet.
The number of franchise networks in Austria has increased tenfold since the 80s. At the end of 2006, the number of registered franchise networks lay at 390 – five percent more than in 2004. There are currently a total of 5,950 Austrian franchisees, most of whom work in the textile and fashion branches, followed by the restaurant business and teaching and training.

Story highlights
- Cristina Fierro was 16 when the former NFL star was accused of sexual misconduct
- Now 18, she went public with her story earlier this year
- She's now accusing Taylor of assault and battery, seeking damages
- Taylor's lawyer blames new legal action on lawyer's "intoxication with media coverage"
Former NFL star Lawrence Taylor, who pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct with a teenager last year, was sued by the victim in federal court in New York on Monday.
The lawsuit "may be the first civil lawsuit of its kind on behalf of a child victim of sex trafficking against a buyer of a commercial sex act with that child," the victim's attorney, Gloria Allred, said at a news conference.
"I feel as though [Taylor] should be accountable for his crimes and misconduct toward me" said Cristina Fierro, who was 16 when the episode occurred and who went unnamed during the criminal phase of Taylor's case. Now 18, she went public with her story earlier this year.
In addition to seeking damages from Taylor, Fierro alleges in the lawsuit that Taylor assaulted and battered her. Allred did not offer details about the alleged assault, saying those would be revealed in the discovery phase of the lawsuit.
Taylor was arrested at a Holiday Inn in New York in May 2010 after having "improper sexual conduct involving an underage girl in a Rockland County hotel," the district attorney's office said at the time. Prosecutors said Taylor paid Fierro, who has repeatedly denied allegations that she was a prostitute, $300 for "sexual acts."
The former Giants linebacker pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges stemming from the incident, one count of sexual misconduct and one count of patronizing a prostitute in the third degree.
Taylor, who has said he was unaware that Fierro was underage when he had sex with her, was sentenced to six years' probation in March and assessed a $2,000 fine. A month later, a judge designated him a Level 1 sex offender, a low-level classification.
In a statement, Taylor's lawyer chalked up the new lawsuit to a hunger for publicity.
"It's a shame that, once again, Gloria Allred's intoxication with media coverage for her cases has blurred her vision to uphold the highest level of ethical and moral standards to which attorneys are supposed to adhere," Arthur Aidala said.
At the news conference Monday, Fierro said she was dissatisfied with the plea deal Taylor struck with prosecutors last spring.
"I feel as though he should have gone to jail to think about what he has done to me," she said.
The lawsuit seeks "compensatory and punitive damages" from Taylor, Allred said, but she declined to specify a dollar amount. A note in the lawsuit states that "the matter in controversy exceeds the sum of $75,000."
The suit does not seek damages from Rasheed Davis, who arranged the liaison between Taylor and Fierro and gave her a black eye when she initially refused to go along with it. In August, a federal judge sentenced Davis to seven years in prison for sex trafficking.
When asked whether Fierro is suing Taylor rather than Davis because Taylor is a multimillionaire, Allred said the suit was filed against only Taylor "because this is the person we have decided to sue, the buyer."
Fierro's attorneys brought the suit under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, or TVPA, which historically has been used to target pimps rather than johns, Allred said.
Suing johns under the TVPA is highly unusual, but suing pimps under the law is uncommon as well, according to Bridgette Carr, the director of the Human Trafficking Clinic at the University of Michigan Law School.
Going after Taylor in the lawsuit might deter would-be buyers of sex from minors from going through with the act, according to Allred.
"Suing the buyer can have an impact on the demand for commercial sex of children," Allred said.

Special to The Times Union
ALBANY – Capital Repertory Theatre's summer slot is usually reserved for something lightweight, frothy and fun.
This year's entry, "The Marvelous Wonderettes" fits that bill to a tee, and one of the most charming aspects of the piece is its sheer lack of ambition.
It's not trying to be much more than silly, and it succeeds.
It's 1958 at Springfield High and the school's song leaders have been invited to perform under their new name, The Marvelous Wonderettes.
The show's creator and director, Roger Bean, quickly establishes who's who with quick vignettes that spell out Betty Jean as the sassy cut-up, Cindy Lou as the self-possessed babe of the batch, Suzy as the gum-chewing goody-two-shoes and Missy as the nervous control freak.
Much of the first act's comedy, in fact, is based on basic riffs about these character elements, which are revealed in layers as the girls trot through a batch of familiar tunes (many from after 1958).
The cast all has experience with the show and it shows, not only in the deft portrayals, but also in the fine singing.
The comedy comes fast, with plenty of kneeslappers and groaners that are surprisingly funny and refreshing.
As is common to the jukebox genre, there is also plenty of interaction with the audience — and at Wednesday's opening some of the show's best moments came from such.
The second act finds the singers re-united at their 10th Anniversary and the story deepens, but only a touch.
Some of Bean's song set-ups in the second act are a bit obvious, but with a plot so thin it doesn't feel painful.
What really makes "Wonderettes" zing is the talent level of the ensemble and the offstage backing band (led by keyboardist Brian Baker).
All four women deliver the goods, even if the lead vocals are occasionally overwhelmed by the other elements.
Each is given a sort of solo set in the second act, where they really get to shine.
Courtney Balan as Missy offers a number of little operatic blasts throughout the show and impresses with "Wedding Bell Blues" and "You Don't Own Me."
Tempe Thomas's Betty Jean is going through a rough patch when she hits the second act and she turns "That's When The Tears Start" and "It's My Party" into a tour de force.
Dina DiCostanzo's Cindy Lou went to Hollywood only to come back and fall for a bad boy. She's not quite robust enough to own "Son of a Preacher Man" or "Leader of The Pack," but she makes them fun nonetheless.
And Catherine Davis, as the very pregnant 1968 Suzy, rocks a pairing of "Rescue Me" and "Respect."
"Wonderettes" is nothing more than a fun night of music and laughs, and sometimes that's enough.
Performance reviewed: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday
Where: Capital Repertory Theatre, 111 N. Pearl Street, Albany
Running time: 2 hours, 20 minutes; one intermission
Continues: 7:30 Tuesday through Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday; 3 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday. Through Aug. 1.

Wendy's this week announced a partnership with child-learning company LeapFrog that puts LeapSchool Friends toys in its kids meals. But that comes as new research from Chicago's NPD finds that kids meal toys may be losing their appeal. For the year ended in December 2011, NPD says, the number of restaurant visits that included a child's meal with a toy premium declined by 6% compared with the same period a year earlier.
One reason for the fall off is a decline in customer traffic by family groups with children. According to NPD's CREST research, 19.5 billion customer groups including kids visited restaurants in 2011, with 15 billion of those visits made to QSRs. That compares with 21 billion groups including children visiting restaurants in 2006, with 17 billion of those visits made to QSRs.
But kids may just be getting bored with chicken nuggets, apple slices and other typical children's fare. "In addition to the economic factor, kids have become more sophisticated, and just like adults, they want to try new things, new foods," said Bonnie Riggs, NPD restaurant analyst in a release announcing the research findings. "Kids have a wider variety of foods and flavors available to them today than they have in the past."
In November 2010, San Francisco outlawed giving kids-meal toys unless several strict nutrition guidelines were met. McDonald's simply sidestepped hurdle that by charging 10¢ for the toys. The city has so far been unwilling to outlaw selling toys to the parents of children, and Burger King has matched McDonald's upcharge tactic.
Jack in the Box last year put an end to its involvement in the debate by eliminating all toys from its kids meal packs.
Last month, a San Francisco judge threw out a proposed class-action lawsuit backed by consumer gadfly The Center for Science in the Public Interest. It sought to ban Happy Meal toys as a violation of consumer protection laws and an unfair enticement to children.

JUBA, South Sudan – A U.N. official in South Sudan says fighting around an oil-rich region has wounded five workers from a Russian oil company.
Joe Contreras said Tuesday that U.N. peacekeepers from Mongolia rescued 10 staff members from the Russian oil company Safinat just north of the city of Bentiu. He said two of the five wounded were in critical condition.
A rebel spokesman based in Ethiopia claimed that rebel fighters have captured Bentiu, the capital of Unity state.
But the spokesman for South Sudan's military, Col. Philip Aguer, said that the fighting is still ongoing and the picture from Bentiu isn't yet clear.
South Sudan saw massive violence sweep the country in mid-December when fighting broke out between troops loyal to the former vice president and those loyal to the government.

Slackers is one of those movies I watched a lot on cable but even back then, I was aware it wasn't a classic by any means. Dave (Devon Sawa), Sam (Jason Segel), and Jeff (Michael Maronna) are three best friends in college who have scammed their way through life. One day, the boys are trying to find a way to cheat on a test. Dave meets an attractive student named Angela (Jaime King) while cheating on the test and gets caught off guard. This small mistake he makes causes him to get blackmailed by a weird loner named Ethan (Jason Schwartzman). The thing about Ethan is he has a creepy obsession with Angela, who he's so in love with that he has a shrine dedicated to her and a doll made out of her hair. The boys have to find a way to get Angela to fall in love or else he'll tell the administration about their cheating scam. I thought this was hilarious when I was a kid, but the laughs are pretty hit and miss. That said, it had some pretty hilarious moments. Jason Schwartzman was really good and creepy. Everyone else is pretty decent. Laura Prepon was pretty hot as Angela's horny roommate and I'm certain that she was partly responsible for jumpstarting my puberty. The comedy is really dumb and will probably not be for everyone. If you ever wanted to see an old lady getting her breasts soaped up or a guy with a singing penis, then this is the movie for you.
