LDP in partnership with local governments, private sector and various organizations, provides tailor-made capacity development programmes to transfer soft technology and practices (knowledge and skills) between cities and appropriate technology providers. These projects can involve multi-year trainings and activities to effectively transfer innovations in eco-tanks for decentralized
sewerage treatment or bio-gas among other green technologies and practices for strengthening sustainable local development.
With the CityShare methodology, LDP organizes best-practice sharing workshops on critical development issues with the aim of fostering knowledge sharing, networking and city-to-city cooperation. By bringing together elected officials and professionals from various cities and regions, the seminars constitute excellent opportunities for cities to learn from each other and to identify opportunities for collaboration that reach way beyond the capacity building inputs.
In this context, a three-year technical assistance project was developed as an outcome of a workshop organized by CIFAL Kuala Lumpur and the use of UNITAR's CityShare methodology. The project focused on providing sanitation services to the poor and was launched by UNITAR and The Regional Network of Local Authorities for the Management of Human Settlements (CITYNET), with support from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. The project aims to transfer the innovative technology of Eco Tank - a small-scale sewerage treatment system - from Bangkok (Thailand) to Negombo (Sri Lanka) and Palembang (Indonesia). The project has been acknowledged by the mayors of both beneficiary cities (Negombo and Palemberg) as a big step towards reaching their goals of reducing water pollution from domestic sources and raising public awareness on sanitation issues.

Publication: theday.com
Mashantucket — In voting last week to "banish" Michael and Steven Thomas, the former Mashantucket Pequot leaders convicted of corruption, the tribe's elders council followed tribal by-laws that call for such punishment.
But the practical effect of the votes remained unclear Monday to some tribal members, none of whom would speak on the record.
Michael Thomas, the former tribal chairman, is currently serving an 18-month sentence in federal prison. His younger brother, Steven, a former tribal treasurer, will be allowed to continue living on the reservation and working at the tribe's Foxwoods Resort Casino, according to a notice of the action taken against him.
One tribal member called the terms of Steven Thomas' banishment "ludicrous" and unlike any ever previously imposed by the elders council. A tribal spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
Notices of the banishments, dated Friday, were obtained by The Day.
According to the notice pertaining to Michael Thomas, the elders council voted Wednesday to banish him "from the Mashantucket (Western) Pequot Reservation and all tribal lands."
Michael Thomas was convicted by a jury in July of embezzling more than $100,000 from the tribe by misusing a tribe-issued credit card between 2007 and 2009, a period during which he was chairman. He reported to prison in January.
A separate notice says the elders council voted to banish Steven Thomas from the reservation for one year "with the exception of his home located on the Reservation, to/from his place of employment (Foxwoods), and any location that is required by his employment."
Steven Thomas, who resigned as treasurer before pleading guilty to a single count of theft from the tribe, admitted in court that he had falsified time cards while working for the tribe's Department of Natural Resources Protection. He was sentenced last month to two years' probation, the first three months of which were to be served in home confinement.
He also was ordered to repay the tribe $177,600, his 2007 salary.
While awaiting sentencing, Steven Thomas was hired as Foxwoods' manager of tribal and Native American relations. According to a job description, the position is involved in carrying out the Mashantucket Tribal and Native American Preference Law, which requires employers on the tribe's reservation to afford preference in employment opportunities to qualified Mashantucket tribal members, their spouses and members of other tribes, in that order.
In other Mashantucket Pequot banishment cases, tribal members have been ordered off the reservation and forced to surrender privileges of tribal membership. In the past, that meant forfeiting the monthly distributions of Foxwoods revenues that tribal members once received. Such payments have been discontinued.
One of last week's banishment notices indicated that another tribal member, Malik Nunn, also had been banished and that two other individuals, Bryon McClellan and Ahmad Green, had been "excluded" from the reservation.
Nunn was sentenced earlier this year in New London Superior Court to five years in prison followed by five years of special parole in connection with an armed robbery in April 2013.

What can you say about "The Moose". Senor Moose in Seattle, Washington. Kathleen Andersen has created an amazing authentic mexican experience which is evident by the long lines. It is truly a Comida Tipica experience. They were looking for a refresh on their old site and wanted to show off the beautiful colors of their interior which has a great collection of local and mexican art straight from an area where the owner's children live. She also wanted a blog to share her amazing love of food, recipes and other thoughts that might go through her head. Believe me there are many!
In the end the client really loves the end result as she said "Its what I always said other sites I really enjoyed looked like" which is what we want to do for all our clients.

What can be said about Mary White. One look at her website The Pantry Raid about says it all. Mary runs a successful cooking school specializing in "freestyle cooking" and cooking with cannabis; she also teaches at South Seattle Community College and produces How-To videos for grocery chains.
. She has a style all her own and that's just the tip of the iceberg. She is definitely unique. Her idea for the site was to make it fun and show her personality and also make it simple for her to share her love of food with recipes and videos of her popular webisodes.
By using javascript and PHP to build her recipe portfolio it made it easy for people to view and print their favorite "raid" recipe or push it to facebook. This site is also set for video play with quick loads.
We have also created biz cards, postcards and stickers for "The Raid" which have really helped her grown her brand.

Olympic Massage Therapy is located in Kirkland, WA. They have been in business for well over ten years and speclize in many different types of massage disciplines. She has a great practice and enlisted us to freshen up her look.
We went with the black and white idea to give it a soothing and overall unique look while making sure it represents the business in the best way possible.
We also built a rack card for them that compliments the site and gives a potential client a great idea of Olympic's overall vibe.
Design & Dev. with:
Gail Neil is a world renown opera singer who happens to reside in Seattle, WA. She has sung all over the world and is amazing as they comes. She wanted a site that showed her talents in such a way to let people see it and also interact with some of her recordings. She has procured many new gigs because of the ease of use of this site.
Design & Dev. with:
The God Knows Project is a christian based website to get people excited about Christianity. They were looking for a fresh look and a way to seell their wares without seeming stiff or too old school.
With the help of our client we came up with something that has a fresh look and keeps their target audience on the page.
Design & Dev. with:
Ruff Construction is a Northwest original located in Woodinville, Washington. Mike Johnson has owned Ruff from the beginning for over 26 years. They specialize in any size remodel from hundreds to a multi million dollar project they recently completed in Capital Hill in Seattle. The client's requirement for this site is to show clients and better yet potential clients the work they are doing or the work they have done in text and images. The tabs on top give people the chance to see what they are doing and what they have done. The rest of the site is a compact explanation of how Ruff creates the feeling of the process they go through.
Design & Dev. with:
Il Terrazzo Carmine, owned and operated by Carmine Smeraldo for over 26 years, is one of Seattle's true dining anomalies - a highly successful restaurant with unfailingly high standards and a loyal, sophisticated clientele. The cuisine has been acclaimed as Seattle's best by the media and more importantly, by local diners.
Carmine's was looking for a simple website that did a very good job of presenting what they were all about in a very visual way as a lot of restaurant websites do not always do a very good job of showing the place for what it is. This task was helped along emmensely by the amazing photography of Robert Peterson. A good javascript and php framework was used to let the pictures speak for themselves and load easily.
Design & Dev. with:
Besserman Associates is a small, woman-owned consultancy shop offering full public affairs and non profit strategy services. Karen strives to provide our clients with well-rounded services, personalized to fit their unique needs.
Karen's needs were encompassing. Website, logo, business card, letterhead and envelopes. The result was from website to envelopes to give the feel of a professional brand that conveys the wimsical identity letting clients and potential clients know they are serious about their work but know they have a unique and fun way of looking at things. They were also setup on facebook and have used this to their advantage to find prospective clients.
Design & Dev. with:
Bustle Caffe is a coffee shop located about half way up Queen Anne Hill. They have some amazing coffee and also offer fresh French baked goods and sandwiches. Quite frankly the original website that was created when they originally opened the business was not really capturing the overall look of the place.
The simple idea was to show the space which is really unique and the sign really tells the story. Now if the owner can ever get the goof that never gave him his own domain back to his business so we will see.
Design & Dev. with:
Westwavehouse is a vacaton rental located on the Long Beach Peninsula. This house is a great rental with amazing access to the ocean. The objective for this client was a site that showed its beauty and convienence without hitting you over the head. It also has a payment system setup so the client does not have to take reservations over the phone or collect checks.
This client has been one of the busiest rentals on the peninsula for the last couple years and is able to keep costs to a minimum by letting the site doing the work.
Design & Dev. with:
Located in the historic Kent Valley, Smith Brothers Farms is a locally owned and operated dairy farm that has been serving the local Puget Sound community for over four generations. Started in 1920 by Benjamin F. Smith with one cow and a few customers, the farm quickly flourished.
The client was looking for a look for a contest they were running which turned into a lot of fun for the younger members of the household getting Smith Farm's great products.
Design & Dev. with:
Michael Palace is an amazing craftsman / designer located in Sonoma California. His furniture has been featured in publications. His old site did not show the true beauty of his work. We tmade the site all about the work. The photos he had were put through the magical photoshop machine by our expert PS person which made his photos really POP. The best compliments he has received is that when people see his work in person they comment how it looks just like the site. We also designed his logo to look good on a biz card and a shingle outside his workshop.
Design & Dev. with:
Comesitstayandplay.com is the brainchild of Charlotte Myers. Charlotte is a great lover of dogs and had the drive and ambition to start her own business and it has quite frankly been a huge success. Armed with her favorite colors we set out to help her dream come true. We created a simple site with good UI and the ability for potential clients to easily fill out forms needed to get their favorite pets with Charlotte's great service.
We also created business cards and postcards that has helped her grow her business and have gotten her many compliments and referrals.
Design & Dev. with:
Intrepid House is a vacation rental located on the Washington coast. A unique property with two distinct units it has more choices than most one unit houses. We took this into consideration when building the site out to make sure customers could easily follow the choices and the different looks of the different rooms.
This was accomplished by using javascript to create tabs for the various units in the house.
Design & Dev. with:
Located on the Oregon coast in the picturesque town of Astoria this cafe has been owned by Julie and josh for many many years. Their food has been rated very high on all cafe review sites. With a limited budget and the idea that increases in business was high on their priority list we kept the site very simple and made sure it was smartphone compatible due to Astoria being a tourist town and most people looking for places to go once they get there.
We also accomplished getting them to come up number one on Google with some good old organic SEO. Josh also took the lessons I gave him with Facebook for his business and has done a great job of keeping up with updates and specials using secret words and creating double digit gains in business year to year.
Design & Dev. with:
Located on the Long beach peninsula, Long Beach realty has been in business in some form since 1938. When we were asked to help quite frankly their website looked like it might have been built in the same year they were founded!
The idea for this website was to get people to where they had to go from the home page and not have to get to deep into the site. This was accomplished by creating a simple landing page design to get people to where they had to go. In the end this was done by creating graphics and photos that show off the beauty that is the Washington Coast.

9. Torpedo Ray
The three animals listed above all used their razor sharp teeth to kill, while the next three rely more on shock, stealth and speed. The torpedo ray looks like a stealth bomber but uses electric shocks as its weapon. It is one of 14 ray species that deliver such shocks and its power comes from a disk in the middle of its body. It traps fish beneath itself, folding its wings down around its victim and issuing a strong shock that at least stuns and normally kills its prey. The torpedo ray hunts in shallow waters, where divers are often present, and if alarmed can deliver a 50 volt shock, which is why many unexplained drownings are thought to be due to this fish. The current from the torpedo ray can cause cardiac arrest in people, and potentially death.

Kevin Benzing And Heather Schwartzburg Named March Quinnipiac Athletes Of The MonthHAMDEN, Conn. - The Quinnipiac University Department of Athletics and Recreation has named senior men's lacrosse goalie Kevin Benzing (Severna Park, Md.) and sophomore softball pitcher Heather Schwartzburg (Mission Viejo, Calif.) the March Athletes of the Month. This is the first time Benzing has been recognized as the Male Athlete of the Month, and it's the second time as Female Athlete of the Month for Schwartzburg.
Benzing posted a 4-1 record while compiling a 6.43 goals-against average and .659 save percentage for the Bobcats in March. He was named both the ECAC Lacrosse and Northeast Conference Player of the Week after stopping a career-high 21 shots in the Bobcats' first-ever ECAC Lacrosse victory at Hobart on March 20. Benzing's performance in March has placed his name prominently among the nation's top goalies. He currently ranks second among NCAA Division I goalies in save percentage (.642) and fourth in goals-against average (7.28).
Schwartzburg saw 15 appearances in the month, throwing complete games in all eight games started. Through 77 innings pitched, the sophomore combined for a 0.82 ERA and posted a 5-4 record in March, while allowing just 10 runs on 38 hits allowed. Schwartzburg also bested a career record on Mar. 9, when the Bobcats played a doubleheader against Toledo in Clearwater, Fla. Schwartzburg struck out 16 batters in the nine-inning game, her career-high for strikeouts in a single game. Overall, the RHP struck out 121 batters in the month. For her efforts, the California-native was named the Akadema/Northeast Conference Pitcher of the Week for two consecutive weeks in March, becoming the first NEC player to earn back-to-back awards in the 2010 season. Schwartzburg currently ranks atop the conference in ERA (1.11), and strikeouts (142) while holding opposing batters to a league-low .176 batting average.
The Quinnipiac University softball team returns to action on Friday, April 2, when they host Siena College in a non-conference doubleheader at 1 p.m. The men's lacrosse team returns to the turf on Saturday, April 3, when they travel to Harford for a 1 p.m. start.

If you think national monuments are statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, welcome to the crazy catalog of federal land grabbing tools.
These "monuments" are actually large areas that are supposed to be small, and can be created out of thin air by the president with the stroke of a pen.
This extraordinary power has been abused by presidents of both political parties time and again to bypass Congress in creating national park-size units -- a congressional power -- at his own whim to satisfy his Big Green constituents.
But parks are expensive to operate and monuments are budgeted like second-class citizens -- and they block resource use.
Members of Congress last week held a hearing on nine separate bills to rein in the president's national monument proclamations by requiring congressional approval or requiring a public National Environmental Policy Act comment process before taking effect.
National monuments are the brainchild of Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Rider, who, as president, peddled his idea to Congress by pleading with members to stop the looting, desecration and destruction of Native American sites in the Southwest such as Chaco Canyon and Cliff Palace.
Congress fell for it and gave the president proclamation power in the Antiquities Act of 1906, an intentionally broad piece of legislation to set aside "historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest."
So TR rode roughshod over Westerners far and wide by designating 18 national monuments that should have gone through Congress as national parks, such as the Grand Canyon and Washington State's Mount Olympus (which Congress later designated parks), and only six of the 18 were major Native American sites.
Let's not forget TR's very first proclamation: Devil's Tower, Wyo., alien spaceships' favorite landing pad, as in Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
Private property captured in national monument boundaries was not seized, but owners could sell to the feds if they wanted to -- and the caretaker National Park Service had ways to make them want to do so.
However, the private property rights to grazing, logging and mining within federal lands were seized. This enraged the locals, who were not consulted.
President Obama recently proclaimed five new national monuments without much local objection. Congress seems OK with that, but fears waiting for his other shoe to drop, largely because of a very bad experience with the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton.
Clinton established 19 national monuments covering more than five million acres and expanded three others, all except one designated in Clinton's last year as president.
He made last-minute designations of more than a million acres as national monuments, but had created the 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah in 1996 during his re-election campaign against Republican Bob Dole.
Clinton didn't know about the Utah area before he was scheduled to make the proclamation -- in Arizona, at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, to keep Utah's Republican members of Congress in the dark until it was too late.
The president was blindsided by White House official Kathleen McGinty, who colluded with Big Green advocates to pass off a fake letter making it look like the president wanted Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt to help prepare the designation -- isolating its enormous deposit of privately owned low-sulfur coal.
The fraud was not discovered until after Clinton made the proclamation, when House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Don Young, R-Alaska, obtained a subpoena and federal marshals seized Katie McGinty's documents and email records. I covered the story at the time in a report available here.
Is there some similar Machiavellian plot afoot in the bowels of the White House today? Better to strip the power before Big Green pulls some strings and makes us sorry we didn't.

I prefer OJB, which its authors say stands for ObJectRelationalBridge (you have to use your imagination).
The main reason I prefer OJB is its object-oriented querying mechanism, versus the HQL of Hybernate. If crafting SQL strings is a hassle, why is crafting HQL strings any better?
The example from the article, Find Orders within a price range, would look like this in OJB:
broker = PersistenceBrokerFactory.defaultPersistenceBroker();
Double lowPrice = new Double(args[0]);
Double hiPrice = new Double(args[1]);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.addGreaterThan("priceTotal", lowPrice);
criteria.addLessThan("priceTotal ", hiPrice);
QueryByCriteria query = new QueryByCriteria(Order.class, criteria);
Collection results = broker.getCollectionByQuery(query);
Adding additional criteria is simple. For instance, we may also want to query on orders with a certain product name, but only if the user entered such criteria on a form. With HQL, this would involve sometimes akward string concatenation, which is one of the things I like an O/R tool to help me escape! In OJB, you'd just have to write code like:
if (productName != null && productName.length() > 0)
criteria.addEqual("product.name", productName);
If you're familiar with Enterprise Object Framework (EOF, part of WebObjects), this style will be familiar to you.
OJB also supports ODMG and it's Object Query Language, as well as a reference JDO implementation. Frankly, I wish they'd drop both and focus on just the PersistenceBroker API (used above). A more focused approach would allow them to get OJB out of release candidate status and to a final release.
Check it out!
Is it the best?

I have worked with Castor, JDO, and Entity beans and so far I have found Hibernate to be the most sttaight forward and well documented project out there. It's also pretty darn snappy too. Combined with XDoclet, things get even better. I pretty much use XDoclet and Ant to generat the Hibernate mapping files and create my SQL Schema. Works like a champ. Highly recommended.

When presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney introduced Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as the next "president" of the United States on Saturday, you can imagine the sweat forming on the brows of Romney campaign staffers and smiles on the faces of Obama campaign officials.
At a naval museum in Norfolk, Va., Romney proudly announced: "Join me in welcoming the next president of the United States, Paul Ryan!"
Moments after realizing his mistake, Romney quickly returned to the microphone to say, "Every now and then I'm known to make a mistake. I did not make a mistake with this guy. But I can tell you this, he's going to be the next vice president of the United States."
The crowd, good-natured and supportive, laughed off the gaffe and gave another rousing cheer.
Lest Democrats get too giddy over the moment, however, it was reminiscent of another time in recent presidential campaign history when Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama took to an

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and Sleep
Approximately one in ten adult Americans suffer from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease. This sleep-related movement disorder is known best for its overwhelming and often unpleasant urges to move the legs while at rest.
The National Sleep Foundation offers a number of resources to help patients who are currently suffering from or think that they may have RLS. Explore the sections below for more information:
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease, is a neurologic sensorimotor disorder that is characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs when they are at rest. The urge to move the legs is usually, but not always, accompanied by unpleasant sensations.
It is less common but possible to have RLS symptoms in the arms, face, torso, and genital region. RLS symptoms occur during inactivity and they are temporarily relieved by movement or pressure. Symptoms of RLS are most severe in the evening and nighttime hours and can profoundly disrupt a patient's sleep and daily life.
How Many People Have Restless Legs Syndrome?
Restless Legs Syndrome affects approximately 10% of adults in the U.S. Researchers believe that RLS is commonly unrecognized or misdiagnosed as insomnia or other neurological, muscular or orthopedic condition.
RLS also affects about 2% of children, according to a study of more than 10,000 families in the U.S. and U.K. The study also found a strong genetic component to RLS; more than 70% of children with RLS had at least one parent with the condition. There is also evidence suggesting that children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a family history of RLS are at risk for more severe ADHD.
RLS may also be confused with depression. According to the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation, approximately 40% of people with RLS complain of symptoms that would indicate depression if assessed without knowledge or consideration of a sleep disorder.
What Causes Restless Legs Syndrome?
The exact cause of RLS is unknown.
Primary RLS is the most common type of RLS. It is also referred to as familial (because it is hereditary) or idiopathic (because the causes are unknown) RLS.
Secondary RLS, on the other hand, is believed to be caused by a separate underlying medical condition or in association with the use of certain drugs. For example, some of these conditions include kidney failure, low levels of iron or anemia, pregnancy, and peripheral neuropathy (a problem with the nerves that carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord that produces pain, loss of sensation, and inability to control muscles). Stress, diet or other environmental factors can also play a role in developing secondary RLS.
Several research teams have taken a closer look at what might cause primary RLS. In particular, recent studies at Johns Hopkins and Pennsylvania State Colleges have found evidence for brain iron deficiency as a cause for primary RLS. This was first demonstrated in cerebrospinal fluid studies and more recently by the first-ever autopsy analysis of the brains of people with RLS. The autopsy studies reported that cells from the portion of the brain called the substantia nigra showed a deficit in one of the proteins that regulates iron status. However, this evidence suggests that the iron insufficiency in the brain of RLS patients comes directly from a failure of normal iron regulation. In terms of finding a cure, this is good news. The results of this study show that there is no brain damage in people with RLS and that drugs that target the problem of iron uptake may be one way to approach future developments of a treatment.
More than 80 percent of people with RLS also suffer from a condition known as periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD). Characteristics of PLMD include involuntary leg twitching or jerking movements during sleep that occur repeatedly throughout the night and result in disrupted sleep.
In addition to poor quality and short sleep at night, research has shown that people with RLS generally experience a reduced quality of life in the absence of treatment.
Who Can Get Restless Legs Syndrome?
RLS affects both men and women and can start at any age. It may be confused with growing pains or restlessness when experienced by children. In addition, the severity of the disorder appears to increase with age. Older patients experience symptoms more frequently and for longer periods of time.
RLS runs in families and may have a genetic component. In a recent study, the first RLS gene was discovered and was shown to account for approximately 50% of RLS cases. However, the researchers who identified the RLS gene cautioned that having it does not guarantee RLS.
Rather, there are likely to be medical, environmental or other factors involved in translating RLS genetic susceptibility into RLS symptoms. Another RLS study also found that a genetic variant may account for about half of RLS cases and revealed an association between RLS and a gene for limb development, suggesting the possibility that RLS has components of a developmental disorder.
Neuroloy, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, suggests that people with Parkinson's suffer higher-than-average rates of RLS.

The structure of the box C/D enzyme reveals regulation of RNA methylation.
Lapinaite, A., Simon, B., Skjaerven, L., Rakwalska-Bange, M., Gabel, F. & Carlomagno, T.
Nature. 2013 Oct 24;502(7472):519-23. doi: 10.1038/nature12581. Epub 2013 Oct 13.
Post-transcriptional modifications are essential to the cell life cycle, as they affect both pre-ribosomal RNA processing and ribosome assembly. The box C/D ribonucleoprotein enzyme that methylates ribosomal RNA at the 2'-O-ribose uses a multitude of guide RNAs as templates for the recognition of rRNA target sites. Two methylation guide sequences are combined on each guide RNA, the significance of which has remained unclear. Here we use a powerful combination of NMR spectroscopy and small-angle neutron scattering to solve the structure of the 390 kDa archaeal RNP enzyme bound to substrate RNA. We show that the two methylation guide sequences are located in different environments in the complex and that the methylation of physiological substrates targeted by the same guide RNA occurs sequentially. This structure provides a means for differential control of methylation levels at the two sites and at the same time offers an unexpected regulatory mechanism for rRNA folding.

Accounting for conformational variability in protein-ligand docking with NMR-guided rescoring.
Skjaerven, L., Codutti, L., Angelini, A., Grimaldi, M., Latek, D., Monecke, P., Dreyer, M.K. & Carlomagno, T.
J Am Chem Soc. 2013 Apr 17;135(15):5819-27. doi: 10.1021/ja4007468. Epub 2013 Apr8.
A key component to success in structure-based drug design is reliable information on protein-ligand interactions. Recent development in NMR techniques has accelerated this process by overcoming some of the limitations of X-ray crystallography and computational protein-ligand docking. In this work we present a new scoring protocol based on NMR-derived interligand INPHARMA NOEs to guide the selection of computationally generated docking modes. We demonstrate the performance in a range of scenarios, encompassing traditionally difficult cases such as docking to homology models and ligand dependent domain rearrangements. Ambiguities associated with sparse experimental information are lifted by searching a consensus solution based on simultaneously fitting multiple ligand pairs. This study provides a previously unexplored integration between molecular modeling and experimental data, in which interligand NOEs represent the key element in the rescoring algorithm. The presented protocol should be widely applicable for protein-ligand docking also in a different context from drug design and highlights the important role of NMR-based approaches to describe intermolecular ligand-receptor interactions.

Phf19 links methylated Lys36 of histone H3 to regulation of Polycomb activity.
Ballare, C., Lange, M., Lapinaite, A., Martin, G.M., Morey, L., Pascual, G., Liefke, R., Simon, B., Shi, Y., Gozani, O., Carlomagno, T., Benitah, S.A. & Di Croce, L.
Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2012 Dec;19(12):1257-65. doi: 10.1038/nsmb.2434. Epub 2012Oct 28.
Polycomb-group proteins are transcriptional repressors with essential roles in embryonic development. Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) contains the methyltransferase activity for Lys27. However, the role of other histone modifications in regulating PRC2 activity is just beginning to be understood. Here we show that direct recognition of methylated histone H3 Lys36 (H3K36me), a mark associated with activation, by the PRC2 subunit Phf19 is required for the full enzymatic activity of the PRC2 complex. Using NMR spectroscopy, we provide structural evidence for this interaction. Furthermore, we show that Phf19 binds to a subset of PRC2 targets in mouse embryonic stem cells and that this is required for their repression and for H3K27me3 deposition. These findings show that the interaction of Phf19 with H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 is essential for PRC2 complex activity and for proper regulation of gene repression in embryonic stem cells.

Are governments interested in keeping us 'dumb'?
Educated citizens are difficult to govern - this is a recurrent argument I've encountered while discussing education with various people.
Do you think it's in a democratic government's best interest to keep its citizens ignorant by maintaining largely outmoded school systems and educational policies, a lack of transparency, or the failure to encourage social and political participation? Or would a democratic government prefer to work with an educated, involved citizenry?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 27 2013: Maybe it's not the government so much as those who control who groverns. Why else would some contributors spend millions of dollars each year on political campaigns in America? Okay you don't send a kid to prep school for her to become a mathematician or philosopher. That would not be desired. Maybe the French have the right idea with the schools Napoleon created.
Ellen DubberApr 3 2013: The democratic process in Australia insists that all eligible citizens vote. Does this make a difference? For example in relation to political campaigns and contributors trying to sway voting as well as voters. If you subscribe, as I do to the belief that voting citizens have power to choose their government based on what they see as the most important agenda issues (rather than which government is going to meet their most immediate material need), then we are as responsible for dumbing ourselves down as any government. I'd like to know more about what you are referring to George, in relation to the French and the schools Napoleon created. It is not something I know much about.
Apr 6 2013: Ellen,
How does the Australian government "insist" that all eligible citizens vote? How does that work?
Apparently it DOES work...
Australia has a 93.22% voter turn out!'
Sweden - 84.63%
Brazil - 81.88%
I just posted these radomly.....here is the 2010 data:
It looks like Australia is one of the highest, and USA one of the lowest!
How do you do that Ellen???
Do the majority of Australians look at the important issues, rather than which person or party will satisfy their immediate issues? That would be GREAT if we (USA) could all embrace this practice!!!
I totally agree with you that we, as individuals are responsible for "dumbing" ourselves, and we are responsible for the people we appoint and elect!
Apr 7 2013: Hi Colleen,
The answer is that voting is compulsory in Australia. I would love to think that we voted on important issues rather than immediate needs, however many would say that is not the case. I do believe that compulsory voting is a way of getting a greater proportion of the population engaged in "important" issues but I have no evidence to back that up.
Our elections often seem to be "dumbed down" to issues of immediate material need despite the fact that we are, in the scheme of things, a fairly affluent country. We currently have a national " debate" over the funding of educational reform and the debate seems more focused on the cost of the reforms rather than finding a way to make it work. That in itself sounds like prioritising material needs over the educational future of our children. The long term consequence of stronger and more equitable educational opportunities is surely a good way to build economic prosperity and security for all citizens. This of course is particularly important for marginalised citizens who can then build their capacity (via education) to contribute and participate in the broader society.
Apr 7 2013: There are fines for not voting. All those of eligible age are encouraged to register with the Australian electoral office and an electoral role is kept. I have always complied and am not aware of all the details around enforcing this but it seems that most citizens comply and take this "right/obligation" for granted.

I started this before camp, and plan to finish it in the run-up to the opener. Sorry for the break. Norm Wood of the Daily Press in Newport News, Va., provided this breakdown of Virginia, which Georgia Tech plays Sept. 15 at Bobby Dodd Stadium. You can check out Norm's blog here and follow him on Twitter here.
1. In a nutshell, what are Virginia's strengths and weaknesses?
Despite losing Associated Press second team All-American left guard Austin Pasztor and honorable mention All-Atlantic Coast Conference center Anthony Mihota, U.Va. should still be very sturdy up front. Starting right guard Luke Bowanko spent his offseason rehabilitating from surgeries to each of his shoulders, but he should be ready to go for the start of practice and could slide over to center. Left tackle Oday Aboushi and right tackle Morgan Moses could be one of the best overall blocking duos in the nation.
Last season, U.Va. gave up 16 sacks, which was second-least in the ACC and least among offenses that didn't run the option. With a still capable offensive line, and an experienced backfield, U.Va. should be just as strong in pass protection. Speaking of the backfield, Perry Jones (113 all-purpose yards per game; seventh in ACC), Kevin Parks and Clifton Richardson give U.Va. a versatile corps of running backs with speed and power running skills and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
As far as quarterback play is concerned, depth will not be an issue with Michael Rocco, Phillip Sims, David Watford and freshmen Greyson Lambert and Matt Johns in the fold. On the defensive side, linebackers Steve Greer and LaRoy Reynolds are two very experienced leaders. Defensive tackle Will Hill will be a starter for the first time as a senior, but he gained ample field-time last season in a three-man rotation with now-graduated seniors Matt Conrath and Nick Jenkins. Replacing Conrath, Jenkins and defensive end Cam Johnson won't be easy, but U.Va. may have bigger concerns about how green its secondary will be this season. Other than returning starting cornerback Demetrious Nicholson, none of U.Va.'s other projected first-team defensive backs has ever started a game. U.Va.'s secondary will be among the youngest in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
While Smith, Dominique Terrell and Darius Jennings are all promising players at wide receiver, it's going to be challenging to find someone to step into the shoes of receiver Kris Burd, who left U.Va. after last season the No. 2 all-time pass-catcher (162). There's also a lot of uncertainty in the special teams units, where a new starting kicker and punter must be identified, and a dependable punt return option must emerge.
2. It's probably hard to say, but what do you think are Alabama transfer Phillip Sims' chances to start this season?
Without having a feel for how long incumbent Michael Rocco's leash will be, it is indeed difficult to gauge Sims' chances of starting this season. Given all the expected elements – relatively short period of time to work with new teammates, very little practice implementation of the playbook – one could reasonably assume Sims' odds of being under center for the Sept. 1 season-opener against Richmond are long.
On the other hand, it's not unreasonable to think Sims could start at some point during the season if Rocco were to falter. For the first seven games last season, Rocco split time with true freshman David Watford, who entered each of those games on U.Va.'s fourth or fifth drive and played extensively in each game. In U.Va.'s last six games, Watford only played in three of them, and he only attempted three more passes (completed none) in those games. Though Rocco started all 13 games, he sometimes ended up playing less than Watford in those first seven games.
Obviously, none of last season's quarterback swapping has anything to do with Sims, but it does show coach Mike London and offensive coordinator Bill Lazor have a willingness to at least get creative with their quarterback situation if they deem it necessary. Sims may have a slightly less daunting learning curve because he's already familiar with playing in the same offense as Jones and wide receiver Tim Smith. Sims, Jones and Smith all played at Oscar Smith High in Chesapeake, Va., winning a state championship together in 2008.
3. Who is the biggest loss from the team and how will that impact Virginia?
The "biggest loss" title could easily be attached to Burd, but there are experienced options to explore at the receiver spots. Johnson, who led the team in sacks last season with four, could be the most significant loss considering U.Va. has virtually no returning pass rush, but there's potential in highly-recruited incoming freshman defensive end Eli Harold.
Instead, cornerback Chase Minnifield might be the most irreplaceable cog. Last season, he earned first team All-ACC honors after leading the team with 11 passes defended, including three interceptions. The biggest problem is U.Va. has next-to-nothing in terms of seasoned depth at cornerback. Sophomores Drequan Hoskey, Brandon Phelps and Brendan Morgan all spent most of last season playing special teams. Now, Hoskey, who came to U.Va. on a track scholarship before joining the football program in 2010, and the highly-touted Phelps will enter preseason practice as the favorites to take over for Minnifield. Hoskey and/or Phelps need to be effective. If they aren't, U.Va. will likely have to rely on a true freshman to pick up the slack. Nicholson was able to come in last season as a true freshman, start right away and play fairly well throughout the season, but he was also considered by most recruiting analysts to be one of the nation's top five cornerbacks and top 100 overall prospects coming out of high school. None of the incoming cornerbacks this season will arrive with that kind of rep.
4. With five returning starters on defense, how vulnerable to do you think that unit is?
Other than the linebackers and a few promising individuals (Harold, Hill and Nicholson), there are serious questions to be answered. The worries obviously start in the secondary, where Hoskey or Phelps and projected first team safeties Anthony Harris and Rijo Walker will all be first-time starters. Offenses may try to pick on the green secondary. If the young players don't respond, U.Va. may have a difficult time even rising to last season's unspectacular, yet reasonable overall passing defense numbers (212 yards per game, 45th in the nation; 12 interceptions, 55th in the nation).
Generating a pass rush may also be a challenge for U.Va. with Johnson and Conrath (three sacks) gone to National Football League camps. No other returning player had more than two sacks last season, but defensive coordinator Jim Reid talked about making adjustments in his 4-3 scheme to free up outside linebackers Daquan Romero (who had a combined 49 sacks in his final two seasons of high school as a defensive end) and Reynolds on blitzing opportunities, and London expressed optimism about the 6-4, 215-pound Harold's pass-rushing ability from the edge.
5. What is the fan base's perception of Mike London?
London has had to fight what can best be described as general fan malaise surrounding the program – a condition that took root far before he was named the coach in Dec. 2009. Attendance in U.Va.'s Scott Stadium fell in each of former coach Al Groh's final three seasons – average of 59,824 fans in '07, 53,815 in '08 and 47,986 in '09. It continued to plummet in the '10 season (45,459) – London's first as coach – before making a small increase last season (47,940).
On the whole, the impressions of London seem to be positive. Fans are encouraged by his staff's recruiting acumen (could be on the brink of a top 25 national class for 2013; have made inroads to re-establish themselves as major entities in the fertile Hampton Roads and northern Virginia recruiting territories). Last season's appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, which was U.Va.'s first bowl in four years, along with U.Va. contending for the Coastal Division crown into the last week of the regular season and London's conference coach of the year award have helped raise confidence in London's vision. Yet, until there's sustained winning (three of the last four seasons have featured losing records) in Charlottesville, fans that were used to seven to nine-win seasons under coach George Welsh and in the early Groh years will stay away.
6. Given the team's inexperience, if Virginia goes 4-4 in the ACC, will that be a disappointing season?
As a matter of fact, a 4-4 conference mark seems like a perfectly reasonable prediction. With road contests against Georgia Tech, North Carolina State and Virginia Tech – all of which could challenge for respective division crowns – it's not inconceivable U.Va. could lose all three of those games. A road game against Duke and home games against Maryland and Wake Forest seem winnable, but home games against Miami and UNC aren't gimmes by any stretch. After going 8-5 last season, U.Va. could be in for a small step back this season before it moves forward. In other words, with the addition and development of solid recruiting classes, brighter days are ahead for U.Va. – but something like a 6-6 overall, 4-4 ACC record this season is a distinct possibility.

This one should go to Ga Tech
At least according to Supersize. Here is how he has the season going.
@ Headless…..that was actually a fairly intelligent post for you. I don't agree with your results, but that's beside the point; it's still a decent assessment. This, however, is my rundown on the season —
Va Tech (toss-up, but very likely GT win)
Blue Hose (Win)
UVA (Win)
Miami (DEFINITE WIN)
MTSU (Win)
Clemson (probable loss, but Tech does have their number)
BC (Win)
BYU (Win)
Maryland (Win)
UNC (Probably win by Tech, but I will never forget 1990)
Duke (Win)
UGA (WIN, but close)
Bowl (Depends on the opponent—hopefully a win)
For those counting that's Tech going 11 -1 ( with a loss at Clemson )
Pretty bold considering Tech is 2 – 10 vs Va Tech, UGA, and bowl game under CPJ
Including 0 for the last 6
Maybe this is the year to buck the trend huh ?
August 21st, 2012
12:55 pm
Is it a good sign for the present season when asked about the team's QB…Virginia list 5 guys?
August 21st, 2012
1:09 pm
Do I smell a defense trying rebuild while we have a veteran O-line? That should mean Tech will get its points. We do need to make sure our defense can bother their QB a little bit, and we should have a decent shot to win this one.
August 21st, 2012
1:19 pm
11-1 is a dumb prediction for the season, though I would love to see it happen, 8-4 is much more likely. All that matters to me is that we beat UGA and win a bowl game, which is asking a lot lately.
August 21st, 2012

Oh, good lord, headley lamarr (or should I say Marine Jacket?).
It's the "IT" guy that doesn't know how to even spoof his own IP address.

Feel inadequate, much? Go back home, princess.

TW gives us the best shot against VT, but I think we might see VL play at least a half or more against Pres. If VL plays well we might see a package for him against the young green secondary at UVA.
I want to see Tevin have a great year but Vad's got to get some live fire as well and help us if God forbid Tevin is hurt.
August 21st, 2012
3:09 pm
I like our chances of beating Virginia Tech more than our chance to beat Georgia. I think 8-3 would be a very good year, 9-2 would be fantastic…especially if one of those 9 wins is against the Dogs.
August 21st, 2012
3:11 pm
As with all rookie QBs (even Andrew Luck) there's a toll you have to pay before they become the true, game-tested 1st string guy.
And, with Vad, my gut says the toll is: he's gonna put the ball on the ground, perhaps in situations that cost us the game.
Now, I don't mind taking a step back in order to take three forward. I'm just loathe to begin that process this season, with such a veteran O-line already in place.
Here's hoping Tevin completes 3 of his first 4. That would be a good start.
August 21st, 2012
3:43 pm
@ hayseed
TW is solid and certainly will make fewer mistakes. But dont you think Pres is the perfect game to get VAD going? And depending on how that goes would CPJ give him more time against UVA's secondary?
August 21st, 2012
3:48 pm
Tech owes UVA a beat down. Cavs played great last year to win in Charlottesvilles.
Green DBs should give CPJ plenty of chances for big plays on the ground and in the air. I'll make the Brad Gilbert call here, GT gets two touchdowns early and rolls 'em up in a big win at Grant Field.
August 21st, 2012
3:52 pm
@Max – Tech won 8 games last year. You don't think they will do better in 2012?
@fuzzybee78 – Pres is the perfect game for Vad Lee….. In the 4th quarter. A lot depends on the Va Tech game. Bad loss up there and TW will play more against Pres. Don't be surprised if Synjyn gets PT ahead of Vad against Pres.
August 21st, 2012
3:56 pm
Hopefully Lee and Days will play QB from mid-2nd QTR on in the game against Presbyterian. We should call their coach and ask him since Presbyterians are into predestiny. As fuzzybee states having a package for Vad would be good to give confidence and emphasize what he does well. It seems he is still having trouble with the speed and timing of the TO which does take a while to learn. But there are a lot of plays–dive, sweep to B-back, rollouts and passing that require less precision to execute that he can do.
August 21st, 2012
4:15 pm
I'm still enjoying a rather hearty chuckle over how your scout team QB is a 5′ 10″, 170 lb. true freshmen that was recruited as a defensive back or "athlete" by almost everyone except Georgia Tech.
You better pray to the Techie gods that your offense puts up 60 points per game this year. Otherwise you won't have a prayer.
August 21st, 2012
4:25 pm
No, you're right. Pres would be a great game for Vad to gain confidence, and Virginia would be the next logical step.
It goes without saying that the Blue Hose would be about a step-and-a-half slower than top tier Div-I competition (and that's being generous). Vad could torch them, and still come up short against the big-boys in a game that a veteran Tevin might manage better.
I realize that I might have some age-bias. I'm at that point where I trust the veteran more than the up-and-comer. I'd love to feast on some crow after a 500 yard all-purpose effort from Vad, however.
August 21st, 2012

That was about Joe Hamilton's size as a freshman. He turned out ok—
Johnson's comment was a spoof on the question with respect to LThomas–

early lines have vt a 7.5 point fav.
i think they cover and win by 11
August 21st, 2012
4:40 pm
I agree except I think Vad is coming in first and Days will see the field as an A back before QB.
On the age bias —I remember watching Billy L and I agree with you.

dustin, on what grounds? If our special teams is not a liability this year, our defense is helped out by their only having experience at QB, and our offense is clicking behind the best O-line CPJ may ever have had then I think Tech beating VPI is very doable. The Hokies' best defenses haven't ever truly stifled the option game the way Miami and some others have done, and we're always within a drive of winning. Why this year would you say it's gonna happen by more than a two scores?
August 21st, 2012

Phillip Sims should not have been allowed to play immediately.

you won't stop logan thomas. he dominated the tech defense last year and will do so again this year. if you had a qb half as good as him, then it would be a toss up. your qb stinks.

dustin, you are posting your opinion. If you can see the future you would already be a billionaire. Something tells me you are not. What happened last year has no bearing on this year. If you are a betting man/boy then you would bet all you can on VT. Sorry for telling you to SU. You are just trolling Tech's blog. I will still watch the game and hope you come back here afterwards regardless of the outcome. Have a nice evening. Better?
August 21st, 2012
5:17 pm
You didn't address the issues I presented. Special teams improvement for GT, defensive improvement for GT (even just one or two more stops would've given us a chance to win the last two years' games against VPI, those stops are more likely this year since we should have a real Nose Tackle and a good secondary), and improvement from our offense. You can say our QB sucks, but statistically he doesn't. God help you if we're connecting on passes like we were early last season, by the way. I'll give you that Bud Foster's defense is no joke, but I repeat that we have had worse offensive production against Miami than against the Foster D. And this year the O-line is monstrous, the QB stable is more veteran/bigger/older, and the offensive backfield is more veteran/bigger/older. I know Logan Thomas is explosive, but if our offense keeps him off the field you're going to need turnovers to win.
August 21st, 2012
5:20 pm
"What happened last year has no bearing on this "
that statement is full of folly. if vt was having to replace the qb and several other posotions, then yes. you obviously have no clue how dominant this guy is. then the d. same dominant d as last year.
about the only chance you have is if lt doesn't play. sorry but i recall many techsters saying how they would beat lsu in the bowl game a few years ago as well as the annual we'll be uga this year. i mean look at this supersize moron's posts calling for 11-1. and all i said was the betting line is 7.5–fact…and i think vt wins by 11…which is what they won by last season. it's not like i am saying vt will blow you out. and no i would never bet on the first game of the season. and no i am not part of the 1/10 of 1% of the country that is a billionaire. i wouldn't be on here if i was.
August 21st, 2012
5:23 pm
you were connecting early last season because you were playing cupcake opponents. i thought that was obvious. look at his statistics against ranked teams and you will see what i am talking about. vt's defense will be better than last year. it's a home game and we have a huge coaching and qb advantage. i like those odds. regardless, good luck.
August 21st, 2012
5:28 pm
i forgot to mention you don't have a single wr that caught a pass last year. yet you talk like you have an all american to throw to. come on.
August 21st, 2012
5:33 pm
Beamer and Foster are great coaches. Logan Thomas is a great quarterback. But saying Beamer and Foster give you any kind of in-game coaching advantage over Paul Johnson might not be giving enough credit to our coaching staff. Both are highly awarded and noted for in-game chess matches. That's more like push (at least to Jackets fans.)
As for passing last season…you say it was CAUSED by weaker competition, but that's the first time anyone has alleged this that I've heard. We were playing weaker competition early, granted. And we did have worse passing efficiency against the better competition in later games, yes. But watching the games shows that the ball was just thrown more poorly as the season progressed. Lots of squirrelly passes that got off target. And the ones that were on-target to an open Stephen Hill would get inexplicably dropped. These weren't well-defended passes ripped out by dominant DB's. Why? Because the DB's were busy looking into the backfield to figure out who's trying to block them and where the ball's going – then TW passes and it's dropped. That's how it was happening. That's mental, if you ask most people. Either the QB's mind or the reciever's mind or both, but it's not the effect of a better defense unless there was a DE in your backfield (which did happen a few times, but I'm talking about the majority.) My only point is that if TW and the new starting receivers have it dialed in, then lookout. That's all.
August 21st, 2012
5:35 pm
Well I'll say about those new receivers what yall try to say about your new O-line. Yeah, their new, but they're not all young and some are even pretty good at what they do. So, let's just call it even on that one.
August 21st, 2012
5:40 pm
I dont believe the majority of VT fans would say if asked "do they think VT is a better, worse, or about the same" than last year –especially the first game, they are going to say" better". Maybe by mid season or end but not our of the gate.
Many think that GT is better — is it enough? Up there—Probably explains the -7.5.
I think ST and turnovers decide a game in the high 20's.
Cook the Turkey!
August 21st, 2012
5:40 pm
you ask any college football fan outside of gt's fan base, who is the better coach, fb or pj and i bet 99% would say fb. don't even try to say pj is = to fb. that is insulting.
play in a national champ game first. you must not realize that fb is first in the nation in wins among active coaches.
so the qb couldn't throw the ball better in the second half??? like i said he sucks…but i digress…it has nothing to do with the competition or time he has to throw. obviously better def backs and pass rushers contributed to this. but you can make all the excuses you want. good luck with your new receiving corp. it will be interesting to see how they do.
August 21st, 2012
5:41 pm
fuzzybee, that's what I think. This going to be blow-for-blow and turnovers, calls going one way or the other, and ST's will factor into a serious nail biter of a game.
August 21st, 2012
5:41 pm
do you realize you had 0 turnovers in the game last year and still lost by 11? vt had one turnover i believe.
August 21st, 2012
5:45 pm
dustin, answer my question— "better" the first game???
August 21st, 2012
5:49 pm
better than last years first game? vt blew out app state by 50 points
August 21st, 2012
5:51 pm
Turnovers, You might be right– The late penalty hurt bad, would have been much closer at worst from GT view.
August 21st, 2012
5:56 pm
Is VT a better football team this year in the opener against GT, than last years team at year end.
You cannot support a "yes" with any real evidence beyond claiming the D is sooooo much better they make up for the inexperience on O. At best it a push = same as last year.
August 21st, 2012
5:57 pm
i am right. i looked. 0 for gt 1 got vt.
late penalty def hurt but you still had us on our 34 yard line. it's not like it was first and goal after the penalty. basically vt's o and d took over and dominated the rest of the game. i think it will be close for a half but i see vt pulling away with superior talent and strength and conditioning like last year.
August 21st, 2012
5:59 pm
i think the defense will be better. i think qb play will be better. blocking and running backs will be weakened. all in all probably about the same as last year because lt is back with a full season under his belt. it's hard to stop a 6″6 qb with an arm like he has.
August 21st, 2012
6:00 pm
All my comments look like they're getting filtered out. Whatever. In a nutshell, just keep underestimating Georgia Tech football. Most of all that's what I want from opposing coaches and players.
August 21st, 2012
6:00 pm
btw, if you guys had a qb like lt, then i think you could run the table with an improved d.
August 21st, 2012

Dustin are you really a VT fan? Thomas had his best game last year against us. He had a good day but that is not indicative of his average play. VT is also replacing their O-Line, their top 2 WR's and only real WR threats. They have a huge question mark at RB as well. You guys return 3 starters on offense and that is it. Your two main offensive weapons in that game besides Thomas are gone in Wilson and Coale. That stud defense gave up 340 yards and 26 points to our Offense that will be much better this year. The two guys we have replacing the WR's are both 6′4 plus and haul. Our entire secondary is back and the LB core will be better as a whole here, but you think VT wins by the same amount as last year? You're either a VT homer or just don't understand what is going on.

RICHLAND, Wash. - One of the biggest shopping days of the year is still a busy one. Many hard core buyers started waiting in line last night and most big stores and malls were packed throughout the day.
The door buster deals went to those who were willing to wait in line while nocturnal shoppers were looking for other items.
"Movies, apple products, cameras, anything," said shopper Holly Door.
Shoppers also must fight to find a parking spot.
"Part of the Black Friday tradition is of course finding a parking spot. Its not easy and waiting in a long line to get out of the parking lot,"
Check out the video for more details on Black Friday shopping.
