While Adam Yauch (AKA MCA) will be remembered first and foremost as the as the gravelly one whose rumbling flow lent gravitas to the helium-voiced tandem of Ad Rock and Mike D, and next for his activism raising awareness about the state of Tibet, we should not overlook MCA's legacy as a filmmaker, producer, and entrepreneur.
At first, MCA's directing credits appeared under the Tony Cliftonesque monicker to alter ego Nathanial Hörnblowér. Here is an early interview with him in character:
Years before Kanye did it, MCA (as Nathanial Hörnblowér) stormed the MTV Music Video Awards stage in protest:
What started as a joke, evolved into a legitimate voice for MCA. As Nathanial Hörnblowér...
.. MCA directed some of the Beastie Boys most memorable videos, including "Shake Your Rump", "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun", "Body Movin'", "So What'cha Want", "Shadrach", "Three MC's & One DJ", "Pass the Mic", "Holy Snappers", "The Robot vs. the Octopus Monster Saga" and "Alive".)
He also oversaw what is, in my humble opinion, the greatest concert film ever: Awesome, I Fuckin' Shot That put 50 Hi8 cameras in the hands of the fans for a hometown show at MSG. (Bon Jovi did it first with Sam Kinnison handing out cameras for the "Bad Medicine" video, but did they get a shot of Ben Stiller rapping?).
The miracle is not the footage itself, but rather in the way MCA assembled it.
Rather than coming across as a stunt, the resulting film is an absolute masterpiece: a staggering, frenetic, varied, magical visual smörgåsbord, an epic display of montage that would make Dziga Vertov's head spin.
This sequence features an amazing live performance—itself an ingenious medley mash-up that showcases the Boys' virtuoso vocal dexterity, mic control, and ability to engage the audience, backed by the mesmerizing skillz of Mixmaster Mike on the turntables.
The resulting film matches them beat for beat.
No other concert film comes as close to capturing the anything-can-happen essence of a live performance.
Lastly, Yauch should be celebrated for his role as a distributor. He formed the company Oscilloscope, which released such films as We Need to Talk About Kevin, Meek's Cutoff, and the Oscar nominated doc If a Tree Falls, to name a few.
His death is a true loss for the world and music, and film.
Bonus: Thanks Onion, for the levity: "Following Death Of Adam Yauch, Grieving China Frees Tibet."

In my insert/edit form I have a submit button to save changes to my model attribute, while I handle delete command by a simple link.
Now I'd like to show delete errors the same way I show global errors for form submission, but it seems I cannot use
BindingResult without a
ModelAttribute in my controller method.
For clarity, my code is like this:
@RequestMapping(value = "/delete")
public String deleteJob(Integer jobId, BindingResult result) {
return "myView";
But as expected I get this exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: An Errors/BindingResult argument is expected to be immediately after the model attribute argument in the controller method signature
Is there any way to do something similar?

(( Notbad ))
This was notbad, kinda neat actually, i like the idea of different characters from different games, you mad eit very small though, you should add more characters and more story would be nice.
More characters and longer animation.
Decent idea and good animation.
A fun little entry.
That was almost over too quickly. Great use of sprites, and of utilizing everything you filled the screen with, but maybe next time you could build the tension by and excitement to more critical mass by having the characters be more confrontational with each other, more arguing and threats of violence between them all that escalates as each additional person enters with their own reason for wanting the money. Then you could also have hints of possible alliances forming -- hey, sometimes if what you want is some money, you're willing to help someone else get some too if it scores what you need. Also, were there no guards for the money van? Taking out the guards and the driver/s while fighting amongst themselves over the money would have ramped up the tension (not to mention the action) between the characters before it all blew up in their faces. Now, despite the lengthy suggestionns, keep in mind I thought this was some friggin' good stuff, I just think you showed a lot of potential for something great, and I'd like you to share that with us. Extra points for using an awesome Queen song that also nicely underscored the flash. Keep up this kind of work, and let me know when the next one is up.
i liked how there was so much going on at once, funny too
Pretty funny.
That was pretty much hilarious, actually. I like the character crossovers... funny how they're all hurting for cash so much! Great plot. The fight scene wasn't much, though, honestly; it kind of seemed rushed. Otherwise, I enjoyed this a lot, and definitely liked it better than the first. Keep up the good work!
(I always appreciate responses to reviews.)
Yeh surprisingly it took quite a while because of all the things going on at once. In other words I took quite a few hours
it should have been longer, other than that though, i loved it. nice job on the sprites too.

I elevated this movie to #1 when Michael Vick was signed by the Eagles. In one week: I heard two accounts from completely different lifestyles: Prissy ESPN sports talk show host Mike Greenberg declared that he had never heard of the subculture known as dog fighting until the Vick case made the news. Vick stated that dog fighting in his childhood neighborhood was so common that police would stop to see a fight and then drive away. Dog fighting was the norm. It was then when I knew I had to check out Peralta's newest movie as I'd loved the Dog Town and Z Boys documentary.
The first 25-30 minutes of the movie covers pre-1970 race riots in LA and other cities. How invisible lines created "hoods" by police who would commonly question straying pedestrians about "why don't you go back to your neighborhood?" Then abruptly, the movie takes a sharp turn when vocal black leaders like MLK, Malcom X and others are thrown in jail or murdered. Suddenly, all the icons were gone. Think of the Living Colour song: Cult of Personality - "When that leader speaks, that leader dies."
For the rest of the movie I was hooked. I couldn't grasp what was happening. The Crips and Bloods seemed to come out of nowhere. Peralta seemed to have skipped something important. But he didn't.Read more ›
Buy this dvd and watch this film...
The film traces back through history, detailing the "roots of rage", so to speak, for the black man in Los Angeles. The film is never boring, utilizing archival film clips from the past, interspersed with interviews from past gang members who are incredibly articulate and erudite. Kumasi's barely controlled ire is tempered with measured intelligent speech. I was enthralled.
The only surprise for me was the lack of mention of the influence of rap music vis a vis the gangs, although there is plenty to be had on the soundtrack throughout.
The film is based on interviews with current and former gang members, and a few dedicated and caring activists who see the kids in gangs as human beings who have an inalienable right to a decent, safe and happy life. What struck me was the eloquence of the interviewees as well as the raw pain speaking - the pain of loss, the pain of the child, the pain of the outsider. Pain that needs to be kept under the tough guy facade 'because only the strong survive'. The beauty and heart-shattering grief of women experiencing the loss of their kids, nephews and grandchildren. The raw, human power that is squandered by keeping those young people ghettoed in.
I'd be interested in seeing how the reviewers croaking about "personal responsibility" on these pages felt if they were harassed by the police every time they crossed a certain street (into a neighborhood where they were not 'supposed' to be). If they had been kept away from progress, growth, respect, education, equal opportunity by the lack of access and institutionalized neglect. I find it amazing that the film does not make you sad or make you want to help, but rather compels you to display your own disconnectedness and lack of humaneness.Read more ›

An embattled dairy sector has finally received some good news
with the first increase in dairy prices for the year - but
global supply still remains strong.
Dairy product prices posted the biggest gain in five months
in this week's GlobalDairyTrade auction as international
dairy prices remain very high.
The dairy sector is now rivalling the construction sector in
boosting economic growth for the coming year, BNZ economist
Doug Steel says.
New Zealand's terms of trade are expected to hit a 40-year
high later this year thanks to surging world dairy prices.
High dairy prices helped push the country's terms of trade
measure up in the three months ended March, with economists
now predicting the measure will spike 7% in the June quarter.
Though the widespread drought has caused milk production to
plummet and resulted in a record sheep and beef kill,
economists have signalled the net cost to the economy could
be ''close to zero'' - thanks to global dairy price
Dairy prices continued to accelerate in the latest
GlobalDairyTrade auction, as dry conditions in the North
Island squeeze milk production.
Moves by Fonterra and the Ministry of Primary Industries
following the agrichemical scare appear to have largely
assured markets that New Zealand dairy products are safe,
Westpac economist Nathan Penny says.
Dairy prices have continued a good start to the year,
increasing 1.1% on a trade-weighted basis in the
GlobalDairyTrade auction this week.
Dairy exports lifted strongly in November but that was not
enough to stop a further deterioration in New Zealand's
merchandise trade figures.

FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) – St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley is asking Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster to remove St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch from the Michael Brown investigation.
"I think he should recuse himself," Dooley says of McCulloch. "I think that Chris Koster ought to come on and assign a special prosecuter. I think Mr. McCulloch's objectivity is in question. And if it's in question, that should be enough to bring another special prosecutor to resolve this issue."
McCulloch's objectivity has come under question because his father – a police officer – was killed in a shooting, and because he opening criticized the decision by Gov. Jay Nixon to remove county police from the streets of Ferguson this week.

A current affair is one of those shows with anything but 'current
affairs' Unless of course you care about that person that got ripped
off by their insurance company because they didn't read the small print
or you're actually interested in the stories that a current affair uses
to make sure you watch their channels and not the other channels shows.
If you were to combine the entire crew of A Current Affair's common
sense and logic, you would have less common sense than what your
average garden gnome does. Information about the war? Politics? Crime?
Well there is crime on the show, but only if its your unruly
neighbourhood teenagers causing all the trouble. Murder? Rape? No way!
Not on a current affair.
Oh and I so loved the story about the latest sunglasses in style. That story certainly was a 'current affair'
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is even more rubbish on Australian television. This is not really news, Just like today and tonight, almost every episode of this show seems to center on revolting, nasty white trash with no redeeming qualities or intelligence. On this show, each night you get to see them beat each other up, swear at each other, see reporters harass and stalk people and see hoons burn out their tyres. The show doesn't ever seem to deliver any real insight into whatever topic it reports on, and besides nearly never reporting on subjects that actually affect people's lives it seems to relish in exploiting legions of beer swilling, racist, drunken morons and their ridiculous affairs. The show is almost jerry springer without crowds of people laughing in the background. Oh wait, this show IS jerry springer without the background audiences clapping or cheering on. This show manages to just show off the worst of Australian society while being as subtle as a jackhammer, and being as tasteless and sensationalistic as journalism can get. For example, the one common story that appears usually every month in this show are neighborhood wars, where we get to witness an endless onslaught of profanity, stupidity and violence. What is anyone supposed to take away form this? This show is not only tasteless and irrelevant, but its boring. Its simply too shallow and narrow minded to be interesting or entertaining. A current affair is just simply a trash reality television show pretending to be journalistic or important.
The hilarious CNN send up show CNNNN set-up A Current Affair perfectly
their A Chaser Affair sketches. Here is pretty much what an over-view of
show would be...
Tonight on A Current Affair, we make the dodgy builder who rips off the aussie battler pay. Then we show you the new miracle drug which can help you loose your celluite fat. Plus we will show you the footage of our fat kids that these Lebanese construction workers didn't want you to see!
So true.
A Current Affair was a typical clone of all of the Current affairs shows in Australia. Stories were frequently the same with a few different details. This nightly current affairs show was made of dodgy businessmen, miracule drugs, battlers who are being picked on by the authorities and anything that gives them a chance to show some gratuitious nudity or senseless violence. The only thing worth tuning in for was the weekly segments made by John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. Highly satrical mock interviews, characteristic of John Clarke's style make ACA worth watching (or atleast tuning in for the last 5 minutes).

Human height is a classical example of a polygenic quantitative trait. Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 200 height-associated loci, though these variants explain only 2~10% of overall variability of normal height. The objective of this study was to investigate the variance explained by these loci in a relatively isolated population of European descent with limited admixture and homogeneous genetic background from the Adriatic coast of Croatia.
In a sample of 1304 individuals from the island population of Hvar, Croatia, we performed genome-wide SNP typing and assessed the variance explained by genetic scores constructed from different panels of height-associated SNPs extracted from five published studies. The combined information of the 180 SNPs reported by Lango Allen el al. explained 7.94% of phenotypic variation in our sample. Genetic scores based on 20~50 SNPs reported by the remaining individual GWA studies explained 3~5% of height variance. These percentages of variance explained were within ranges comparable to the original studies and heterogeneity tests did not detect significant differences in effect size estimates between our study and the original reports, if the estimates were obtained from populations of European descent.
We have evaluated the portability of height-associated loci and the overall fitting of estimated effect sizes reported in large cohorts to an isolated population. We found proportions of explained height variability were comparable to multiple reference GWAS in cohorts of European descent. These results indicate similar genetic architecture and comparable effect sizes of height loci among populations of European descent.
Heritability of normal variation in human height is estimated to be ~80%–90% [1]–[4], much of which is attributed to inherited factors [5]. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and gene-centric analyses have uncovered over 200 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human height, but these variants explain only 2~10% of the phenotypic variance [6]–[12]. Arguing that a large fraction of missing heritability could potentially stem from the large number of height-related variants with small effect sizes, a recent study analyzed all genome-wide SNPs simultaneously and reported that 45% of genetic variation in height could be explained by common variants [13]–[15] without specifying their individual contributions.
The above mentioned GWAS and meta-analysis were based on large cohorts primarily of European descent sampled from Europe and North America, although a few have included other ethnicities [6], [12]. In this study, we have assessed the variance explained by known height-associated loci in a relatively isolated island population from the Adriatic coast of Croatia with limited admixture and homogeneous genetic background. Rather than conducting a discovery study, our purpose was to evaluate whether the effects of genetic variants uncovered in larger, heterogeneous study populations are portable to smaller, homogeneous populations. Specifically, we conducted a GWAS using a panel of 500K SNPs in a sample of >1300 adults to identify height-associated variants and estimated variance explained using genetic scores that combine information from panels of known loci from published GWAS [6]–[9], [11]. Our study showed that comparable variance may be explained by previously reported height-associated GWAS variants, if the comparison population is of European decent, and that the associated loci and effect sizes of previously identified loci are comparable in our population.
The study population was derived from a genetic study of metabolic syndrome [16], [17]. Briefly, 1445 men and women were recruited from Hvar, a middle Dalmatian island on the eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia. The present day Adriatic islanders are primarily of Slavic descent, who had emigrated from the mainland before the 18th century and remained relatively isolated since that time with attributes of relative homogeneous genetic, cultural and environmental background [18], [19]. Blood samples and anthropometric data were collected in two field seasons of May 2007 and May 2008. For this study, we used the data on 1304 participants for whom genome-wide SNP data and height measurements were available. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute for Anthropological Research in Zagreb, Croatia and the Institutional Review Board of the University of Cincinnati. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
Genome-wide SNP genotyping was performed using the Affymetrix Human SNP Array 5.0 following the manufacture's protocol. Genotype calls were determined using the CRLMM algorithm [20], [21] among chips that passed the DM QC call rate (>0.86). Following further QC filtering of the genotype data (MAF>0.02, HWE P>0.0001, call rate>95%) using the check.marker function implemented in GenABEL [22], we obtained a cleaned data set of 344,512 SNPs in 1304 samples (565 males and 739 females). On this data set, we performed genotype imputation using MACH [23] and the reference haplotype data from the Phase II CEU HapMap [24], yielding genotype data on 2.5 million SNPs.
The study sample included 533 unrelated and 771 related individuals from 238 families. Therefore, two different methods were used to account for the relatedness – the genomic control (GC) [25], [26] and the measured genotype (MG) approach [27]. In GC, all samples were treated as unrelated and the inflation factor (λ) was estimated using the median method [28]. In the MG approach, the kinship matrix was estimated from all autosomal SNPs instead of pedigree data. To assess the empirical performance of the two methods, we examined how many of the previously identified height loci (http://www.genome.gov/gwastudies/) could be recovered from the top 100 significant regions (defined as 250 kb on either side of associated SNPs) using each of these two methods. Standardized height adjusted for age and gender and their interaction term was used in all analyses. P-values and effect size estimates assuming additive allelic effect are reported throughout the manuscript. All statistical analyses were performed in R v2.12 and the GenABEL package (v.1.6) [22].
To assess the overall fitting of previously identified height-associated loci in our study sample, we estimated the percentage of variance explained using genetic scores that combine information from different panels of known loci reported in previous studies. The unweighted genetic score was computed as an individual's number of height-increasing alleles, and the weighted genetic score was constructed as ; indicates the number of reference alleles for specific SNP, is the appropriate weight proportional to previously reported estimates of allelic effect (measured as beta-coefficient or log transformed odds ratio). The variance explained (r2) was then estimated based on a linear regression model using the scores as predictor and age-, gender-, and their interaction term adjusted height residuals as outcome.
We estimated and compared the variance explained based on different panels of height-associated SNPs and their effect size estimates extracted from published large-scale GWAS, which included 1) 180 genome-wide significant SNPs reported by Lango Allen et al. [11], 2) height-associated SNPs reported by the three GWA studies published in the 2008 May issue of Nature Genetics [6]–[8], and 3) 54 height SNPs used by Aulchenko et al [9], which were derived from the three aforementioned GWAS [6]–[8].
Height was normally distributed in both males (N=565) and females (N=739), and males (177.7±7.5 cm) were significantly taller than females (164.4±7.1 cm). Regression analysis showed that adult height was negatively associated with age in both genders with a larger age-effect in females. Estimated height decrease per year in females was 0.239 cm (P=9.05×10−55, r2=28.0%) and in males was 0.195 cm (P=3.50×10−24, r2=16.6%, Figure S1).
Genetic scores based on the five published studies are shown in Table 1. The allele frequencies of the 180 genome-wide significant SNPs reported by Lango Allen et al. [11] in our samples were similar to the original report (Figure S2). The correlation of effect size estimates of these SNPs between our study and the original report (Stage 1+2) was highly significant although not perfect (Pearson ρ=0.472, P=2.32×10−11). The effect size estimates of 58 SNPs were in different directions (points in the 2nd and 4th quadrants in Figure 1). After removing these 58 SNPs, Pearson's ρ increased to 0.851 for the remaining 122 SNPs. However, heterogeneity test did not show significant differences in estimates of effect sizes between our study and that of Lango Allen et al. [11]. Though 12 of the 180 SNPs showed nominally significant heterogeneity (P<0.05) none survived adjustment for multiple testing (a full list of these 180 SNPs are provided in the Table S1). As expected, based on the central limit theorem, the genetic scores were normally distributed (Figure S3). The weighted genetic score and adjusted height were significantly (P<1×10−16) correlated (Figure 2). Combining the information from the 180 reference SNPs the explained variance was 7.94%, which was at the lower bound of the range of variance explained reported by Lango Allen et al. – 10.5% (range 7.9–11.2%) [11]. As reflected in Figure 2, the correlation of genetic score with adjusted height was higher in females than males with a larger fraction of variance explained (10.09% vs 5.87% in females and males respectively). The unweighted genetic scores explained a lower fraction (5.45%) of the overall variance.
The weighted genetic scores constructed using the SNPs and effect size estimates reported by the three Nature Genetics studies [6]–[8] explained 3~4% of the height variance in our study sample. The study by Gudbjartsson et al. [6] included an African American cohort (n=1,148) and the variance explained by the genetic scores built on the effect sizes estimated from this group was significantly smaller (P<0.001) than the scores based on the effect sizes estimated from other groups of European descent (Icelandic, Dutch or the Europeans Americans), which may reflect effect size differences among diverse populations.
In addition to testing height as a quantitative variable, Lettre et al. [7] evaluated their identified SNPs in a height 'case-control' sample (the USHT tall-short panel with subjects selected from tails of the height distribution) and reported allelic effects using odds ratios (ORs). Our effect size estimates correlated well with the log transformed ORs (Pearson ρ=0.639) and the genetic scores weighted by these log transformed ORs explained even higher variance (4.62%) than the genetic scores weighted by the beta value estimates (Table 1).
In addition, we estimated the variance explained by the panel of 54 SNPs analyzed by Aulchenko et al. [9], which were identified by the three aforementioned GWAS [6]–[8]. The weighted and unweighted genetic scores based on these 54 SNPs explained slightly larger variances than the scores based on any of the individual studies (Table 1). This study also reported genotypic effect sizes, which enabled us to construct weighted genotype scores without the assumption of allelic additivity, though the variance explained by this genotypic score was similar to that obtained by weighted genetic scores assuming additive allelic effects.
The reported height-associated SNPs that overlapped across studies may capture more genuine effects than those obtained from a single study. Therefore, we tested whether the variance explained can be increased by including multiple genetic scores as multi-dimensional predictors. By including the scores with largest variance explained from each study, the explained variance was increased to 10.21%.
We also performed genome-wide association analysis in order to replicate previous findings. As indicated by QQ-plots (Figure S4), both GC and MG appropriately controlled type I error rates. The genome-wide single-locus test statistics were inflated compared to the null distribution with an estimated inflation factor λ=1.41. As expected this estimate was the highest among all metabolic traits we studied (unpublished data) since the inflation factor is larger for traits with higher heritability and substantial inflation is likely attributable to the large number of SNPs associated with height [29].
The P-values obtained by GC and MG were highly correlated (Pearson's ρ=0.766). Interestingly, the GC method recovered 9 previously known loci (Table 2 and Figure S5) compared to 4 recovered by the MG approach, three of which were in the 9 GC regions. Due to our limited sample size, however, none of these loci reached genome-wide significance (P<5×10−8). The 9 GC regions include several well known height loci, including EFEMP1, UQCC and HMGA2. Of particular interest is the UQCC locus (also known as the GDF5-UQCC region; Figure 3A). This region encompasses approximately 850 kb, covering more than 20 genes, and has a relatively low recombination rate. The most significant signal was observed on SNP rs6058227 (P=8.21×10−6); the minor allele (T) was associated with an average increase of height 1.93 cm. Re-analysis of the region conditional on rs6058227 failed to completely eliminate the signals of the other SNPs, suggesting the possibility of multiple causal variants within the region (Figure 3B). Similar evidence for allelic heterogeneity was also reported by Lango Allen et al., and the presence of multiple functional variants could be a potential source of missing heritability [11].
We presented an estimation of variance explained by previously reported height-associated loci in a relatively isolated population based on a genome-wide scan of 2.5 M genotyped and imputed SNPs in 1304 individuals. Given our relatively small sample size, we did not aim to identify novel loci; instead, our purpose was to evaluate whether height-associated SNPs identified by GWA studies in large population cohorts share similar effects in an isolated and homogeneous population.
We evaluated the percentage of variance explained by genetic scores based on previously reported panels of height-associated SNPs and their effect size estimates. Under the assumption of additive effect between loci, the weighted genetic score captures the majority of genetic effects at multiple loci. The corresponding explained variance can be used as an indicator of the overall agreement of the effect size estimates between reference studies (from which the effect sizes/weights were developed) and our current study. The results indicate that a comparable fraction of variance can be explained in our samples if the genetic score was constructed from a population of European descent. In our sample the variance explained by the 180 height-associated SNPs reported by Lango Allen et al. [11] was 7.94%, which was within the range (7.9–11.2%) of the original report, though at the lower end. The higher percentage of variance explained by the weighted scores compared to the unweighted scores (5.45%) also suggested that the effect sizes estimated from meta-analysis of multiple cohorts of European descent can be applied to our relatively isolated population, which is also of European descent. At the individual SNP level, we did not detect significant differences in effect size estimates between our study and the reference study. Altogether, these observations indicate similar genetic architecture (i.e. associated loci and their effect sizes) of height in the same continental populations.
Using the SNPs reported by the three Nature Genetics studies [6]–[8], the percentages of variance explained were around 3~4%, which were within the range of the original reports. We also found that the log transformed odds ratios estimated from extreme "case/control" samples [7] provided accurate estimates of real effect sizes, illustrated by the larger variance explained compared to scores using beta coefficients estimated from unascertained population-based cohorts with larger sample sizes. The significantly lower variance explained using the genetic scores based on effect size estimates from US African samples demonstrated substantially different effect size estimates between distantly related populations. Since our sampled individuals contained familial relatedness, we tested two methods to account for relatedness. The measured genotype (MG) approach uses a mixed model to quantify the polygenic effect and the fixed effect (association) simultaneously and is a robust and powerful method for the analysis of quantitative traits in related samples [30]. Genomic control (GC) is a simpler and computationally efficient method originally developed to control the inflated false positive rate introduced by population stratification [26], [28] and has been recently applied to account for relatedness in association tests [31]. The GC method corrects the false positive rate by adjusting test statistics using a uniform inflation factor and it ranks significant findings in the same order as conventional association tests that do not account for relatedness.
Our results indicate that the empirical performance of the GC method was better than the MG approach by recovering a larger number of previously-identified height loci among the top ranking regions. This implied that the P-values reported by GC or association tests ignoring relatedness may better reflect the real order of significance than the complex approach of MG. Recent simulation studies indicate that GC or conventional tests are appropriate methods to study genetic association in randomly ascertained, moderate-size pedigrees for both quantitative [32] and qualitative traits [33]. However, for polygenic traits with high heritability (such as height), GC may be over-conservative since all SNPs, a substantial fraction of which are truly associated with the trait, are used to estimate the inflation factor [29], [32]. The inflation factor (λ=1.41) for height observed in current analysis was the highest among all traits we studied in the same population sample (data not shown). This high estimate is likely explained by high heritability and the large number of associated SNPs rather than by population stratification or relatedness; therefore rendering the reported association P-values (Table 2) conservative.
Of the 9 height-associated loci described in Table 2, several were among the top of the significant lists in multiple GWAS; for example, HMGA2 [34] and GDF5-UQCC [35] were the first two identified height loci and were widely replicated in multiple studies [6]–[8]. The EFEMP1 locus was first reported by Weedon et al. [8] and Gudbjartsson et al. [6] and was subsequently replicated in Australians of European descent [36] and Asian populations [37]–[39]. Four other gene regions, L3MBTL3 [6], [11], CRADD [6], [8], JAZF1 [10], [40], and ANAPC13 [8] were also reported in European GWA studies. Of note is the GRIA1 locus, which was previously reported in a GWAS in another Adriatic island population [41]. Though the IGF1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) pathway is integral to growth and mutations in IGF1 usually result in growth retardation [42], candidate gene studies testing for associations between common variants of IGF1 and height variation have been inconclusive [43]–[45]. Two recent GWAS [38], [39] have, however, confirmed IGF1 as a height-associated locus in Asian populations. However, this locus has not been identified in European GWA studies with even much larger sample sizes, suggesting weak statistical powers due to differences in allele frequencies or linkage disequilibrium patterns between populations.
As in the study by Lango Allen et al. [11], through conditional analysis we found evidence supporting allelic heterogeneity in many height-associated regions. In the GDF5-UQCC region, for example, our most significant SNP (rs6058227) was not in close linkage disequilibrium with six index SNPs reported in previous GWA studies and analysis conditional on rs6058227 could not eliminate the significances of the adjacent SNPs in that region. These all are highly suggestive of multiple effective SNPs in this region. This observation again highlighted that allelic heterogeneity might be a common feature of polygenic loci and identification of additional functional variants beyond the lead SNPs may increase the proportion of variance explained for complex traits [11], [46].
In summary, we have evaluated the portability of height-related loci and their estimated effect sizes reported in large cohorts to an isolated population with a homogeneous genetic background. We found proportions of explained height variability were comparable to multiple reference GWAS in populations of European descent. These results indicate similar genetic architecture and comparable effect sizes of height loci among populations of European descent.

Yes, use the Photo Booth application.
Apple (or a 3rd party) should write a utility to allow you to dial down the native resolution of the internal camera, but to my knowledge they have not, so far. You can work around this by piping the video output from your web camera into another program that processes the camera's video stream and "re-publishes" it to your Mac as a virtual camera (aka ...
Kinda roundabout, but you could try this: Open Quicktime. Choose File -> New Movie Recording. On the little down arrow to the right of the record button, choose maximum quality. Also drag the record button holder to least obtrusive location. Command-3 to fit to screen. Take screen shots with command-shift-(3 or 4).
Delicious Monster makes an awesome piece of software called Delicious Library that's intended to do exactly what you're after: scan and catalog your library (of books and other things). And it all works through your iMacs built-in iSight camera. And it works very, very well. From their website: "Wait, I just hold a CD or DVD or video game or book or ...
"iSeeYou: Disabling the MacBook Webcam Indicator LED" is a paper by Matthew Brocker and Stephen Checkoway from the Johns Hopkins University. In this paper they explain on how to disable the LED when using the camera. In short: normally you use the CPU to access the camera and activate the LED, but you can also use the processing unit in on the camera board ...
Photo Booth in Lion does 1080x720 captures in JPEG when the hardware supports it.
There is an Adobe Air application you can download called QR Reader - works on any platform that has Air installed, and a bunch of online services you could try too - QRGen looks pretty neat - you upload an image of the QR code and then it processes it for you. Hope that helps.
What about c-slide? (http://www.c-slide.com) 1 mm thin and works with all latops and pad devices. The cool thing is that you can open and close it without having to remove any parts from you laptop. And it's sleek, the only downside is that it is black and might not look very nice on a white MacBook frame.
It might be some VDCAssistant programs using it. Try this ,Open a terminal window and type the command below. sudo killall VDCAssistant This will kill all other programs and you will be able to use your camera again.
Check out /Applications/Photo Booth.app
You can with PhotoBooth. You can also use all kinds of crazy effects. I suggest trying this when you don't have any important appointments later. :)
There are Mac applications that can do this, although I don't believe that any of them run on Flash. Here's some that I found: Wirecast from Telestream BoinxTV from Boinx Software CamCamX from Black-Op They're all commercial, but there's a wide range of pricing between the three.
No free app that I'm aware of, but for a few dollars/euro you can download QuickMark from the Mac App Store, here's the link
Try the free Skitch (also available from the Mac App Store). One of the many things it can do is a Cam Snapshot. To take one, invoke Skitch, then choose Capture > Cam Snapshot. You may need to fiddle a bit with the size of the snapshot to get full resolution. This worked to the max resolution of the iSight on my older MacBook Pro; it's worth a try on the ...
Delicious Library wasn't made just for scanning a list and dumping it out, but it could be used for such a thing. After scanning in your items you'd either want to slurp the results using a custom AppleScript or you can use our export-to-CSV feature and only do the ISBN column. If a book doesn't look up on Amazon there's an error window that pops up, and ...
Apple don't provide any way to control camera devices centrally, it is left up the program in use to provide the ability to choose. Generally, well written programs give you a choice, and poorly written (and, generally, poorly supported) programs don't. (Photobooth, I'm looking at you.) The only way I know to force a program to not use a camera is a hack ...
The simple answer is no - in general the one camera only sends data to one app. The more complicated answer is that the API (application programming interface) that Apple publishes enforces this restriction. If a developer hooks into the hardware directly or there is a bug in the API, it is possible to share that stream. So for most Apps made by someone ...
According to this Apple discussion forum post: As you know, software always controls your iSight. Most apps, including all Apple apps of which I am aware, automatically make the iSight settings for you and do NOT allow you to manipulate them from within the application. In my own case, I have found that merely adding more light to my work ...
This research paper reported by the Washington Post and Ars Technica says yes. Though it was only tested on "old" Macs (Late PPC, early Intel)
"ResEdit" was the basic utility to inspect/edit resources such as images, video, and sound in Mac OS applications and games. It runs in Mac OS or Classic environments and can be downloaded from http://www.mac.org/utilities/resedit/ "ResFork" runs on OS X 10.2 and provides similar functionality to ResEdit. Using ResEdit or ResFork you should be able to find ...
I've used iAlertU before: takes a screenshot, not a movie, but it is free. There is also SecuritySpy which does record movies but isn't free.
I just read another article about that on Ars Technica Yes the LED is hardwired But it can still be bypassed Only downside of this article, it was only tested on "old" (late PPC, early Intel) macs.
If System Profilier isn't showing it up under USB then the iSight has been physically damaged beyond repair (not accepting power) or has been somehow disconnected from the Bus. System Profiler always displays connected devices, even if they're corrupted or non-functioning. Take your Mac to the Apple Store and they will tell you what it will take to fix it. ...
To disable iSight and other cameras, use: sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleCameraInterface.kext (tested on 10.9) I'm not aware of a way to disable audio input without affecting output. It's the same hardware so unloading/removing the kext probably won't work. One step you can take is to turn the input volume down to zero in your sound ...
I just discovered QR Journal, which works fine for me. The latest version requires OS X 10.8/10.9 but there is a legacy version available which works with 10.6. Now desktop users with an iSight (or iSight compatible) camera can read QR codes. Found a QR code in a magazine or catalog? Simply hold up to the iSight camera to scan, store and browse to. ...
Using the iPad camera connector with the USB port seems to work with certain items (headsets, etc.) that aren't cameras, leading me to believe that there is a full USB hardware implementation in there but there simply aren't any drivers. If this is true, you could get a USB Ethernet dongle, write iPad drivers for it in your camera-viewing app, and use ...
Today I stumbled across a proper publication regarding this topic: Researches from the Johns Hopkins University recently published the paper "iSeeYou: Disabling the MacBook Webcam Indicator LED", showing that they were able to deactivate the iSight status LED on older MacBooks even without root access by replacing its firmware. It appears they were able to ...

RE: Mullins Family Cemetery in Hopewell GA
Unfortunately I have no clue where it is located. I appreciate your willingness to help, but I had no idea the location was unknown even to those in Harris County. It may very well be on private property. If I should come across someone with knowledge of it, I'll be in contact.l Meanwhile, please consider my request withdrawn with sincere thanks for your offer.

Howdy, I was wondering if you could tell me where Sardis Cemetery is located at in Harris County, Ga. I see that you have taken some pictures of the old cemetery.
I appreciate any help you can give me. I have some request for about ten pictures to be taken of markes in the old cemetery.

Mitsubishi Motors Corp., which recently acknowledged it inflated mileage on its models, is forecasting a 145 billion yen ($1.4 billion) loss for the fiscal year through March 2017.
The Japanese automaker said Wednesday vehicle sales will drop around the world, especially in Japan, where it expects a 41 percent plunge.
The projected loss is a reversal from the 72.6 billion yen profit for the fiscal year ended in March.
Japan's government found Mitsubishi had overstated mileage on its vehicles by up to 16 percent. Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Motors had a systematic way of cheating on mileage for eK minicar models, including those it supplied to Nissan Motor Co.

Julian used our time and his very well on elder law issues for my parents. He cuts to the chase, which I appreciate, when I am paying for his time. He gave us the necessary information, advice and instructions clearly and concisely, and answered all our questions thoroughly, while keeping the billable time to a minimum.
After the elderlaw issues were concluded, I engaged him again for some estate planning for myself. Another good experience.
