Late afternoon, I'm so tired I wanna nap, thoughts…
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
* First the Obama endorsement and now this…
Banished by the RNC?
I'm starting to worry about a major Chicago-area earthquake caused by Colonel McCormick's grave-spinning.
* More evidence that the world is coming to an end: Scott Kennedy is blogging.
* The DCCC is going all-in for Dan Seals…
That's not a thought, but it's connected to this…
* Blogger wars can be so much fun. Larry cracks an inside joke about a rival blogger in his post about the above story. And another site has a Halloween costume suggestion…
* Speaking of babbling, Todd Stroger spoke today at the City Club…
Not yet, anyway. When that McCormick quake hits, the whole town is gonna slide right into the drink.

Question of the day *** UPDATED x1 ***
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
* Speaking and staying at the Union League Club has its advantages. A press conference by some Illinois Repubicans was held at the club yesterday, so I went, and was interviewed by ABC 7 about the "Rod & Todd" impact on the upcoming election. WBBM Radio was at the Paul Green/Rich Miller panel discussion earlier in the morning and filed this report…
* The Question: Considering all factors, which replacement choice (assuming, of course, that Obama wins) would help Blagojevich the most? Explain.
Please, keep in mind that this is not about who the governor will or should pick. We've already discussed those points. Try to stay on topic. Thanks.
…Adding… The "help him the most line" was made by Paul Green, and I agreed with it. Credit where credit is due.
*** UPDATE *** Patterson asked Lucio Guerrero if the governor was having any discussions about the replacement. Guerrero responded via e-mail…
Works for me.

Stuff that makes me sick to my stomach
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
* Oh, yeah, this'll help a lot. I'm positive, even. From a press release…
Look, I'm not a big fan of using prisons for economic development, and the Pontiac prison is decades past its prime. But to knock the legs out from under a town by moving a prison that's been there for over a hundred years and then making an empty gesture like this is truly insulting.
* Now, onto some even more troubling (and related) news.
Suspicion has been brewing for months that Gov. Blagojevich was sitting on dozens of pardon and commutation applications for fear that he might pardon the "wrong" person and that would come back to haunt him.
Ironically, at the same time, I've been hearing behind the scenes murmurs that the Department of Corrections' parole office was deliberately refusing to revoke parole for offenders for fear of prison overcrowding (exacerbated by lack of staff) and jacking up the recidivism rate (which would create more press problems). These sources have insisted that a tragedy was imminent.
Well, we appear to have our tragedy, and it's a doozy…
This requires a full legislative investigation, with subpoena power. We need to know what's really going on at the DoC. Now.

Smoke and fire?
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
* Congressman Gutierrez's self-professed love of quickie real estate deals has landed him back in the headlines…
Go read the whole thing. Fascinating.
* Gutierrez does provide a thorough response. Here is his reasoning for writing to Mayor Daley on behalf of the developer who had loaned him the cash….
He also claimed the loan was at an above-market rate of 7 percent and that he lost money on the flip.
More background here.
* Always remember when reading stories like these that smoke doesn't necessarily translate into fire. For instance, the Tribune ran this letter to the editor about a big story it ran in a recent Sunday edition…
I'm not sure whom to believe, but the original story is here.

Barack, Rod and Todd
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
* As I attempted to explain to ABC 7 yesterday, Barack Obama's presence at the top of the ticket isn't guaranteeing success for all down-ballot Democrats. The reason? Rod Blagojevich…
* Republican congressional candidate Marty Ozinga has been slammed hard by his Democratic opponent Debbie Halvorson for contributing to Blagojevich's campaign fund. Ozinga has a new broadcast TV ad that fights back, quoting a recent Tribune editorial to make the case that Halvorson is the Blagojevich ally, not him…
* Republican Congresscritter Peter Roskam has already tied his Democratic opponent to Gov. Blagojevich (she was the guv's homeland security chief), and he's now wrapping himself around Barack Obama. Call it a twofer. From Lynn Sweet…
Check out the site's header…
That'll go over well in some circles, I'm sure.
* Anyway, the reason I was interviewed by Channel 7 is because I was at a press conference yesterday where the House and Senate Republicans unveiled a new radio ad to remind voters of Rod Blagojevich and Todd Stroger before they vote. Listen to the ad by clicking here. And here's the ad's script…
* Coverage…
* The governor can't catch a break no matter what happens. The head of the Lincoln Library was just fired for alleged petty criminality, for crying out loud…

Leading newspapers urge you to Vote No on the constitutional convention
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
[The following is a paid advertisement.]
Leading newspapers across the state are urging a no vote on the constitutional convention question on November 4th. They recognize a constitutional convention would be expensive and not solve the state's problems, only serving to put a strong document at-risk and turn power over to the very people who've created the state's problems.
Dysfunctional state needs leadership, not a convention - Rockford Register-Star, October 26
Leaders need changing, not the constitution - Southern Illinoisan, October 26
Politics, not constitution, state's problem, vote no - Moline Dispatch – Rock Island Argus, October 26
Don't vote for a new constitutional convention - Chicago Sun-Times, October 9
Vote "no" on constitutional convention - Daily Herald, October 20
Vote no on con-con question - Pioneer Press, September 27

"What is this?" open thread
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
Everything is late today because, frankly, I overslept. I was apparently way tired from my several-day tour of suburban legislative districts.
Anyway, I was finally finished writing and about to get everything sent when the phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, but thinking it was a subscriber complaining that s/he hadn't yet received the Capitol Fax, I answered.
Morning Shorts and everything else will be posted soon.

Kirk a tossup? Plus: Oberweis goes negative
Tuesday, Oct 28, 2008
* CQ Politics has switched its rating on the Kirk vs. Seals congressional race to "No Clear Favorite"…
I don't know if they'll run it or not, but after this morning's event, WBBM Radio asked me for my surprise of the night for next Tuesday. I was caught a bit off guard and pointed to a possible Kirk upset. There are other possibilities, however, so perhaps you can discuss them below.
* The DCCC has a new TV ad attacking Kirk and tying him to President Bush…
* But the Politico names Kirk as one of its "stand-out centrists of 2008″…
* After saying he wouldn't do it, Jim Oberweis is now running a negative TV ad. The ad highlights his disagreement with Democratic incumbent Bill Foster on the bailout plan. So far, I'm told, this is just on cable TV, but he also bought radio time…
* Democrat Jill Morgenthaler's new TV ad…
* Republican Aaron Schock's leadership PAC got a writeup in CQ…
* More…

Open thread
Tuesday, Oct 28, 2008
* I am on an elections 2008 panel with Paul Green at the Union League Club this morning, so blog posts will be a bit late. In the meantime, I just wanted to warn you about today's Sneedlling. Don't get your hopes (or fears, as the case may be) up too high just yet…
The House votes have been "there" for a very long time. It's all about the will and the opportunity.
Staunch Blagojevich ally Emil Jones may be Senate President until January, and the Senate Dems have yet to pick a replacement. Unless there's an indictment soon, I'm not sure at all that this will happen right away. Down the road? Perhaps. "Following the presidential election" could mean 2010. Or 2013, if he's reelected.
Anyway, try to keep your emotions intact. Thanks.

Product Description
"An impeccably scholarly, irresistibly readable guide to the language heard on the recordings of the great blues singers who were active in the first half of the 20th century."--Wall Street Journal
"A very useful and mamlishly good book."--Juke Blues
"A fascinating and entertaining read."--All About Jazz
"A treat for anyone who loves language, and who sees it as a living, breathing entity."--PopMatters
Book Description
This fascinating compendium explains the most unusual, obscure, and curious words and expressions from vintage blues music. Utilizing both documentary evidence and invaluable interviews with a number of now-deceased musicians from the 1920s and '30s, blues scholar Stephen Calt unravels the nuances of more than twelve hundred idioms and proper or place names found on oft-overlooked "race records" recorded between 1923 and 1949. From "aggravatin' papa" to "yas-yas-yas" and everything in between, this truly unique, racy, and compelling resource decodes a neglected speech for general readers and researchers alike, offering invaluable information about black language and American slang.

This book was originally begun in the 1960's,then put aside because of lack of publisher interest in the 1970's. In 2005,thanks to another scholar,Calt forged ahead,up-dated his manuscript,and finally had it published. And for everyone who listens to blues music,especially earlier styles from various regions (country blues from Texas for example),this book is a valuable key in unlocking words and phrases (both local and more widely known) which have alluded listeners for years. Included are more than 1200 definitions from the era of "race records" (as blues was then called) that have long ago lost their meaning for listeners in the present. Included are slang terms and place names that have been neglected until now. The meanings,explained in modern terms,are also shown in context in snippets of song lyrics from the era,which adds valuable insight to the word usage.
A number of these terms ("afterwhile","creeper",or "pallet" for example) can be figured out in the context of the surrounding words in the song. But to have a definitive meaning leaves no room for speculation. Other terms ("backbite","gauge","shim-sham-shimmy","dead cat on the line",as examples) need clarification. This is where this book comes into it's own. There are so many definitions of words and phrases that,in the modern world,are no longer relevant,or have simply been forgotten,that this wonderful book could be read almost as a history lesson in itself.
For anyone who listens to blues music and has wondered what a particular word/phrase means,this is something you need. As someone who has listened to blues music for over 40 years,I find this book opens up many doors,and gives much insight and understanding into songs I've listened to,and not been able to catch the full meaning of the lyrics. When Blind Willie McTell sings about putting his pistol "in so' ",now I know what he's really saying. What does "Blind" Lemon Jefferson mean by "jump a rattler"? Or when Robert Johnson sings about taking something out of someone's " 'nation sack",I now know what he's doing. Or when the MEMPHIS JUG BAND sings about a woman looking as good as a "Georgia ham",I now know what they're referring to. What does Lucille Bogan mean when she sings about someone being a "pot hound"? And just what does "graveyard love" really mean? This great book opens up the world of blues music/lyrics like no other. Either spot-reading or reading from cover to cover,this book is both entertaining and invaluable to blues lovers. If blues listeners want to know what they are really listening to-get this book.

"A must read for anyone who thinks."
Rand's logic used to present her ideals were superb.
Rand's ideas on capitalism, happiness, role of government and etc.
Too dramatic of a tone all the time made it weary after a while and took a long time to get used to it.
"Digested Happily"
Self-Reliance Objectivism Philosophy
This is John Gault Speaking.
The preachy radio broadcast.
Too long, but didn't want to stop listening.
"Required reading for anyone questiong our PC lives"
It is better than not reading the book, at all. Listening to the audio while reading along is best. There are points she makes that bare consideration. The pause button is important. This book is a feast to be slowly enjoyed and ruminated over.
Her use of descriptive titles for the 'Looters', the 'Destroyers', the 'Parasites' is especially good for youthful readers. She makes clear who the good guys and who the bad guys are. "The mind is the fundamental source of wealth." And her comment that 'individuals should pursue life enhancing values'.
Cautionary Tale to Modern Society
"Well performed, but the story will browbeat you"
Someone very conservative who is fond of repetition may be fond of this book.
This story was annoying, the author beats you over the head over and over with the same themes and ideas.
Not my cup of tea, was very disappointed as it had so many high ratings.
"Thought provoking and timely, though heavy-handed."
Rand's individualist philosophy is one worth considering by today's American liberals and conservatives alike, particularly as our two dominant political parties compete to enlarge the federal government and extend its powers for their own purposes. Rand portrays an extreme scenario of the people handing over all responsibility to a government comprised of those whose only goal is to remain in power, even at the cost of the country self-destructing. As this fairly accurately describes our current political system, and the path we seem to be on, I would almost put this one on a required reading list for anyone of voting age in the US.
That said, Rand leaves no shadow of a doubt when articulating her philosophy via dozens of characters and their dialogs (and several epic monologs), to the point that I had most of the book on 1.5x and even 2x to just get through sections. "OK — I get it!" was a phrase I found myself almost uttering aloud at several points.
Scott Brick's performance was excellent, and I agree with another reviewer that his ability to read each character distinctly really helped me keep things straight.
For those who are on the fence regarding abridged/unabridged as I was, I'm glad I went with the full version, as the characters are complex and nuanced; I wonder if that might have been sacrificed in the culling of some content. You'd have to rely on the review of those who have read both, I suppose.
Say something about yourself!
"Chilling story of today written in 1957."
What a great story! I had a uncle who was reading the book and raved about it, then friends at work were talking about the Movies and I decided to get it through audible. I did some research an Amazon and found that it was written in the late 40's and early 50's and was published in 1957. The similarities between the society in the book and today are astounding. I wish I had read the reviews about the narration before I purchased this version, But I liked all of Scott Bricks other work, but it sounds like a Dune Novel. The narration bothered me from the start, but I became used to it by part 2 and then is was all about a driving story and a great mystery, not the who done it, but what is going on and were will it all lead. This may be the best book I have listened to, I can't believe I never came across it before now. Try this book, I really doubt you will regret it.
"Great Book!"
I read the book long ago but wanted to read it again since it is so relevant to today. I would listen again perhaps if time permits,
"Truly enjoyed this book"
I have listened to it twice. Will listen again. It just makes so much sense
"62+ hours....maybe get the abridged version?"
Scott Brick is an outstanding narrator!
Ayn Rand's story is excellent, and her characters are engrossing. Her philosophy is in line with mine, but I'm much less radical.
However, Ayn Rand is l o n g w i n d e d !!! Holy cow! The 3 + hour dialog by the main character in the next-to-last chapter is a killer! When Rand makes a point, then goes on and on explaining it in a different light, you just want to scream: "I've got it! Move on!"
I really wonder if she was getting paid by the word? How did this get past an editor?
Lisa Stevens
"Best political sci-fi thriller ever"
Once is not enough. I will re-read this at some point to enjoy the rich characters, the suspense, and Rand's take on the dangers of 20th century secular intellectualism. It refreshes my soul to hear someone go after nonsense political rhetoric.
Intellectuals and Society by Thomas Sowell is a great preparatory non-fiction book. I read right before this one, and it helped me understand the long discourses better.
Reardon's final moments with the "wet nurse" and subsequent rescue from his burning factory. As painful as that scene was, it released him from his angst and helped him reconcile with the friend he thought he could never forgive.

Great stay and great hotel, easy to access and to locate
Was very comfortable and relaxing before flight home
Very satisfied with Hampton Inn & Suites in general, and this one particularly. There is nothing much in the neighborhood surrounding, but we were a half hour from downtown Tampa, Ybor City, Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach, so it's a good place to spend a few nights while enjoying a variety of Tampa Bay activities.
Very clean hotel and great service by the staff.

Despite the known relevance of genomic structural variants to pathogen behavior, cancer, development, and evolution, certain repeat based structural variants may evade detection by existing high-throughput techniques. Here, we present ruler arrays, a technique to detect genomic structural variants including insertions and deletions (indels), duplications, and translocations. A ruler array exploits DNA polymerase's processivity to detect physical distances between defined genomic sequences regardless of the intervening sequence. The method combines a sample preparation protocol, tiling genomic microarrays, and a new computational analysis. The analysis of ruler array data from two genomic samples enables the identification of structural variation between the samples. In an empirical test between two closely related haploid strains of yeast ruler arrays detected 78% of the structural variants larger than 100 bp.
Although single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are thought to play a significant role in phenotypic distinction, recent whole genome comparisons suggest that structural variants (insertions, deletions, duplications, translocations, and inversions) also play important roles in the distinction between species, strains, and even individuals [1]–[6]. In addition, these structural variants correlate with many diseases and such genome instabilities are an underlying characteristic of cancer [7].
Despite the importance of structural variants, current technologies cannot reliably detect all variants. PCR can only monitor a limited number of variants per reaction, limiting the number loci it can feasibly monitor.
Array-based comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) requires two genomic samples labeled with different fluorophores and can detect copy number changes but not necessarily the site of the change [8]–[15]. The two samples are hybridized to a single microarray and scanned. Comparing the intensities in the two channels at each probe or set of genomicaly proximal probes determines the presence of duplications (higher intensity than expected compared to other probes in the same sample or compared to the other sample) and deletions (lower than expected intensities). While the location of a deletion in the genome is apparent if one knows the genomic location of the relevant probes and if the deletion removes enough probes from the sample sequence, aCGH does not provide the genomic location of duplications. Furthermore, aCGH cannot necessarily detect rearrangements, though very high density arrays may be able to detect candidate rearrangements when low intensity probes, those spanning the relocation boundary, surround probes of the expected intensity.
Paired-end high-throughput sequencing permits many forms of structural variants to be discovered by detecting deviations from the expected distance between ends [16], [17]. In this technique, often called Paired End Mapping (PEM), a sequencing library is generated by randomly shearing DNA fragments. The library can be described by the mean and variance of the fragment lengths. The ends of the fragments are sequenced and mapped to a reference genome and the analysis looks for sites spanned by pairs of reads whose average mapped distance differs from that of the library as a whole. A deletion in the experimental genome presents as reads that map far apart in the reference genome; an insertion presents as reads that map nearby. A analysis compares the observed average distance between ends spanning some site to the predicted and tests for a significant difference. Thus, control of the variance of the fragment lengths is key to PEM. High variance reduces the power of the technique to observe indels. Either by control of the shearing or by size selection of the product, PEM seeks to limit the variance of the fragment lengths. Depending on the fragment lengths, PEM may also require difficult circularization protocols that limit read lengths and thus mappability (eg circularization followed by digestion with MmeI) [18].
Sequencing has the potential to detect all sequence changes, but its practical limitations depend on the technology used (which determines the read length, the availability of paired reads, and the mean and standard deviation of the distance between pairs of reads) and the coverage depth. In general, all sequencing approaches can detect SNPs since single nucleotide changes are small compared even to the short reads produced by current high throughput techniques [19], [20].
Sequencing and assembly based approaches cannot resolve differences in periodic structures that are not spanned by sequenced fragments [1], [21]. For example, consider a repetitive element of length 1kb. No read in a 300 bp shotgun library will span the element, thus producing a contig boundary at every instance of the element. While long fragments, contigs, and scaffolds are available with various circularization protocols or techniques such and BACs, these techniques are difficult and not routinely applied to most new genome projects. In addition, even high quality genome assemblies may produce ambiguous results near repetitive elements [22], [23].
To monitor the plasticity of both repetitive and nonrepetitive elements of genomes we have developed a microarray technology called a ruler array that measures the distance between pairs of defined sequences in a genome. Every microarray probe sequence defines one end of a ruler with the other end defined by a sequence feature such as a restriction site. The ruler measures the distance between the two ends and thus can detect structural changes in the intervening sequence. Thus ruler arrays can detect changes in the size of repetitive sequences that are proximal to a unique probe sequence and a suitable restriction site. As such, the ruler array offers a complement to sequencing based approaches for structural variant discovery.
The ruler array protocol generates a population of labeled DNA fragments where the probability that the population contains a specific sequence is inversely related to the sequence's physical distance to a selected restriction site (Figure 1). When the labeled material is hybridized to a microarray, probe sequences proximal to restriction sites yield correspondingly higher intensities than distal probe sequences (Figure 2). The observed intensity falloff is roughly log-linear and consistent with a model in which the extension terminates with equal probability at each base (Figure S1). The ruler array protocol generates this population of fragments by first digesting a genomic sample with a restriction enzyme and ligating an adapter to the resulting ends. Polymerase extensions are then initiated from a primer that is complementary to the adapter, producing many copies of sequence proximal to the adapter but fewer copies of distal sequence as the limits of processivity for the polymerase are approached and it stochastically terminates.
Comparing ruler array hybridization data from two genomic samples reveals differences between the corresponding genomes (Figures 3 and S2). When a sequence is farther from the restriction site in one genome than the other, the observed probe intensities beyond that sequence will be lower in the corresponding channel. Thus, a discontinuity in a line fitted to the intensities in one channel and the absence of a discontinuity in the intensities of the other indicates a sudden jump in the distance of the probes from the restriction site (Figure 4). The intensity drop does not generally depend on the content of the insertion or deletion, only the change in distance between genomic points.
We compared the genomes of the S. cerevisiae haploid yeast strains S288c and 1278b [24] using ruler arrays with strain specific genome assemblies serving as a control. Ruler array performance was calculated by comparing ruler array variant predictions to two sets of assembly-derived predictions. During curation of the long read 1278b assembly, we selected 106 apparent indels of more than 100 bp relative to S288c for PCR confirmation. These indels were identified by several alignment programs (FSA [25], Blast [26], Blat [27], custom code) and by manual inspection of the alignment results. Thirty-six of the 106 resulted in PCR gel bands whose length differed by roughly 100 bp or more, giving a false positive rate of 66% for the early 1278b assembly (Table S1 lists the confirmed changes). We detected a total of 114 additional indels between the genomes beyond the 106 selected for confirmation based on the final 1278b assembly.
Two ruler array replicates identified roughly 75% of the PCR confirmed changes (28 and 25 of 36) and many (28 and 20 out of 114) of the set of 100 bp changes. Due to noise and protocol variations between the replicates (such as the polymerase used), the two replicates discover similar but not identical sets of indels and their intersection represents a set of high quality calls. The two replicates also generated a number of false positive calls, predictions that do not correspond to a change of more than 4 bp. There were 553 false positives for the first replicate and 414 for the second.
We used a single replicate of an aCGH experiment between FY4 and 1278b to compare aCGH's performance against that of the Ruler Array. The experimental protocol used the non-enzymatic ULS labeling system to avoid amplification or dye incorporation biases.
Our HMM analysis of the aCGH experiment produced 183 calls. Twelve appear incorrect given the two genome assemblies and 33 are confirmed by the assemblies. The remainder occur in repetitive regions (e.g. TY, sigma, tau, and delta elements) such that both the CGH data and the assembly are likely to be incorrect.
The aCGH experiment found 21 of the 35 "must-find" indels and missed the remaining 14. Thirteen of the 35 were originally added to our list of known indels because of the aCGH experiment, so their detection is not surprising. Figure 5 shows two examples of insertions that the aCGH experiment misses because there is no change in the unique probes surrounding the changes.
To more accurately compare the aCGH experiment to the Ruler Array experiment, we re-ran the analysis using only array probes with a unique genomic location; this excludes probes that map to TY or other repetitive elements. By only including unique probes, we now know the location of any change that the aCGH experiment detects. On this input, the same HMM analysis produced only 18 calls and found 6 of the 35 "must find" events.
Our ruler array experiments comparing S288c to 1278b revealed non-uniform polymerase processivity at particular sequence elements. Poly A, AT, or AAT repeats, often found at transcription stop and start sites [28], sometimes caused rapid termination of the polymerase extension and a corresponding drop in observed intensity. In many cases, a small change in the length of such a repeat sequence leads to a discontinuity in the ruler array signal such as one might expect from a large insertion. Thus, we detect certain insertions and deletions as small as 2 bp when they occur in these repeats. Figure 6 shows two such examples. These repeats may also cause reduced signal in downstream sequence.
We have shown that the ruler array technology can detect structural variants between two closely related strains of haploid yeast, detecting changes of more than 100 bp with high frequency. We found that ruler arrays can fail to detect structural variants between haploid genomes for three reasons. First, a variant may be too close or too far from the restriction site being used such that the variant's discontinuity is not detectable. Second, an insertion may carry a restriction site that counters an expected intensity drop. Third, the ruler array may miss changes in poorly tiled regions of the genome such as the telomeres or long clusters of repetitive elements.
Diploid genomes present challenges for the ruler array as the signals from the two chromosomes will be averaged, thus making detection more difficult. Furthermore, the two chromosomes might contain different restriction sites due to SNPs, generating additional signal that may be difficult to interpret.
The ruler array obviously depends on the characteristics of the polymerase. As mentioned, certain sequence elements cause frequent termination. On normal sequence, the polymerase's processivity determines the slope of the decrease in signal over distance. A polymerase with poor processivity generates a higher slope and thus a greater change in observed intensity for a given indel than a more processive polymerase. However, our experience indicates that the benefits of the higher slope are outweighed by the fact that fewer microarray probes observe the change in intensity (the higher slope means the signal reaches background over less distance). Other characteristics of the polymerase, such as priming efficiency, may influence the overall efficiency of the reaction and the maximum signal level. These characteristics may change the sensitivity of the method but are unlikely to generate spurious calls as they would effect both channels equally.
We believe the ruler array offers a novel and potentially useful technology for surveying related genomes for structural changes in both repetitive and non-repetitive DNA elements. While the current protocol suffers from a high false positive rate, it offers an effective complement to sequencing-based approaches. Further refinement could lead to the development of a ruler array based sequencing assay as a proofreading technique to check newly assembled genomes for large structural variants indicative of misassembly.
The adapter (and therefore primer) sequences were chosen to match the overhang left by EcoRI, have minimal genomic matches in yeast, and have a melting temperature suitable for the polymerase extensions. The sequence used was
where P indicates a 5′ phosphate (necessary for the ligation) and B indicates a 3′ biotin to allow purification of the ligated material from the remainder of the reaction mix.
Note that the shorter oligo serves both as part of the adapter (in the ligation reaction) and as the primer in the polymerase extensions.
The ruler array protocol begins with 20 g of pure S. cerevisiae genomic DNA prepared using standard laboratory protocols. The DNA sample was digested using a suitable restriction enzyme (eg, EcoRI). Digested DNA was then treated with Calf Intestinal Phosphatase (CIP) to remove the 5′ phosphate from the digested products in turn preventing genome reassembly during adapter addition. Phenol Chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation removed restriction enzymes and CIP. Purified digested genomic DNA was ligated to 1.6 M of biotin labeled primer pair for 16 hours at 16°C. Ligation products were bound to Streptavidin beads using the Dynabeads kilobase Binder kit. Polymerase extension reactions were initiated with Vent Exo- or ExTaq polymerase from the ligated primer. Aminoallyl dUTP are included at a concentration of .3 mM in the extension reactions and the DNA extension products were labeled with Alexa Fluor reactive dyes using established protocols. Labeled DNA is purified using a QIAGEN spin column. Dye incorporation was assessed by nanodrop and DNA containing between 30 and 100 pmol of dye was applied to a Agilent yeast whole genome array (238 k non-control 60 bp probes, Agilent microarray design 147411). After incubating at 65°C for 40 hours arrays were scanned using Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner and images were feature extracted using Agilent feature extraction software.
Probes were mapped to the October 2006 S288c reference genome from the Stanford Genome Database using Blat [27]. We retained probes that had only a single hit of more than 50 bp; probes mapping to multiple locations were ignored. We normalized the two channels to each other by multiplying the Cy5 intensities by median(Cy3)/median(Cy5) to account for differences in the amount of dye hybridized in each channel. We further normalized by computing the regression line of the log-transformed Cy5 values on the log-transformed Cy3 values and then rotating the log values such that this line is the diagonal.
Our analysis method performs simultaneous segmentation and linefitting on the log-transformed intensities. A basic, single-channel segmentation and linefitting procedure minimizes
where is the log-transformed intensity observation, is the estimated variance for the observation, and the probability of the parameters penalizes the use of more segments. The estimated variance depends on the local co-linearity of the log-transformed intensities and a term based on the intensity.
We extended this segmentation and linefitting method to handle both channels simultaneously and incorporate prior probabilities of using the same segment boundaries in both channels and to using the same segment slopes in both channels (we found that using the same intercept yielded worse performance than constraining only the slope). The analysis of the resulting fitted segments calls an indel at a segment boundary that exists in one channel but not the other or at segment boundaries at which the intensity change differs substantially between channels (Figure S3). The supporting methods (Text S1) present a more thorough description of the normalization and analysis technique.

Plot of predicted log-intensity vs distance for intervals of size 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000. The probability of termination at any base is.001 in all four intervals. Note the relatively linear shape over most of the interval followed by a more rapid decrease as the end effects become dominant.
Ruler array data at a TY element insertion on chromosome XI in 1278b. Note the blue line, which indicates the channel ratio. To the right of the insertion, marked by the black arrow, the ratio is close to one. To the left of the insertion, the 1278b probe intensities are lower than the S288c intensities and the ratio increases accordingly.
The four cases in which the Ruler Array analysis infers the presence of an indel from the segment fitting output. In (a), the segment fitting used one segment to fit the green channel but two segments to fit the red channel; consequently, the analysis makes a call at the split point in the red channel. In (b), the segment fitting used two segments in each channel. The green channel is greater to the right of the break but of lower magnitude to the left. If the change is large enough, the analysis calls this boundary an indel. This change is commonly observed at AT repeat length changes. Example (c) illustrates another change common at repeat length or repetitive element changes. There is a segment boundary in both channels, but the intensities drop much more in one channel than the other. A restriction site, or the insertion of an element that contains a restriction site such as a TY, generates the signature seen in (d).
The 36 PCR-confirmed indels between S288C and 1278b used for Ruler Array validation.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Ś Los Angeles County sheriffĺs officials are looking for the person who called 911 and falsely reported an emergency at a former Malibu residence of the Kardashians.
Sheriffĺs spokesman Steve Whitmore said Sunday that itĺs too soon to tell whether the reality TV stars are the latest victims of so-called ôswatting,ö a hoax intended to get officers, including specialized SWAT teams, sent to a home.
Deputies responded to the call Friday at a house in Malibu where the Kardashians formerly lived, Whitmore said. After finding the house empty the deputies contacted the family and went to their new home about 20 miles away in Hidden Hills, he said. They found no crime had been committed. No arrests were made.
Kim Kardashian, who was not home at the time, decried the hoax on Twitter, calling it ôdangerousö and ônot a joke.ö
ôThese prank calls are NOT funny!,ö she wrote Friday. Kardashian said her mother called her after at least 15 officers arrived on their doorstep.
Whitmore said sheriffĺs officials and other California law enforcement agencies will lobby state lawmakers to make ôswattingö a felony.
Authorities are investigating ôscoresö of similar cases across the state, he said. In some instances, the hoaxers use technology that makes it appear that the 911 calls were made inside the homes where police are sent, according to Whitmore.
ôWhat we want to do is have the legislature turn up the heat on these people,ö he said. ôThis is a serious, serious crime.ö
Police last week responded to a false report of an armed robbery at Tom Cruiseĺs Beverly Hills home. In December, a boy was arrested after police said he made calls that reported violence at the homes of Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher.
Kim Kardashian is the star of the E! Entertainment Television series ôKeeping Up with the Kardashians,ö the networkĺs top-rated show. She also appears on other shows involving her family.

drom fragrances international has introduced pureganic—a new collection of essential oils. The new brand aims to maintain the purity of essential oils by harvesting plants in accordance with ecological guidelines, free from pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. To ensure the availability of the raw materials on a sustainable basis, drom has entered into cooperative agreements with agricultural operations in Bavaria. To secure harvest freshness, mobile distillation equipment is used directly on site for distillation. In addition, drom, the University of Munich and the Bavarian State Institute for Soil Culture and Plant Growth have developed a variant on water vapor extraction that is fast, pressure-free and gentle.

Address listed is just the place where they check you in.The room is at another building. They will collect a refundable NT200 deposit for the keys. The room was situated in a convenient location in ximending, and it was VERY basic. The bathroom didnt have a proper standing shower; but a stand over the sink. Didnt feel very safe as it was just a simple button lock on the door. Wasn't an exactly comfortable stay in my opinion.

Literally the worst place I have ever stayed: - incompetent, unwelcoming, unfriendly staff - at first the rooms presented absolutely didn't match with my booking : I'm sorry but I get what I ordered and paid for thanks - staff still insisting in giving us the wrong room and why we wouldn't change (for worth of course, not to mention without any price discount...) - dirty rooms - dirty beds - concrete hard bed and pillows - rooms not the same as advertised

Robert David Rogers
Learn about upgrading this memorial...
County Cork, Ireland
Buncombe County
North Carolina, USA
believed by some researchers to be the son of John White Rodgers & Martha Rodgers
Other researchers link to Samuel Daniel Rogers & Mary Whiting
legend has it that he is buried somewhere on the Biltmore Estate in Buncombe County. since we do not know where, I am creating this memorial as as likely place as any, since Haywood County was split from Buncombe in 1808. Robert may very well be buried here as well. The Biltmore Estate is located just over the county line not far from this spot. In any event, this site offers a convenient place to erect my memorial.
The picture is not of his marker, but that of a typical 'Rogers' headstone from one of hundreds which I have photographed.
George Rogers Park
I received some information the other day, that ROBERT ROGERS landed at Jamestown, VA. Coming to America in 1759 with his father, SAMUEL ROGERS and brothers, settling in King and Queen County, VA. then moving to Philadelphia, PA in 1759 (same year?) and married FRANCES RUSSELL. This info says that HUGH ROGERS was born in 1761.
Before that:
I also got from the book "The Annals of Haywood County, North Carolina Board that ROBERT Rogers husband and wife came to America on the same boat as FRANCES RUSSELL, sailing from Perth, Ireland. (approx. 1760) That they were married in Philadelphia, PA after an interesting romance and that HUGH ROGERS was born there in 1761.
Maybe you could shed a little light on this for me. Do you know of SAMUEL Rogers, Robert's father? I have this name in my files, but I had his son DANIEL Rogers as Robert's father. You get so much conflicting info that I get very confused, but that's what keeps me at it!!
Cindy Burress 6 May 1999.
Elizabeth Daughdril - 5/28/2008
George, You have had me digging through old files, and I found some things that may interest you. Not the Matthew Rogers mentioned. Robert's son???
Note the mention of William Thornton. Some think he was the father of Nancy Thornton, since the John Thornton said to be her father did not have a daughter named Nancy.
- Copy of 1779 land grant: "State of North Carolina Washington County January 1, 1779 To the surveyor of sd. county, you are hereby requested to measure and lay off according to ___ (?) three hundred acres of land for Robert Rogers, on the waters of Cherokee Creek joining William Thornton and John Shelby including the improvements therein, given under my hand this (can't read) 1779.

It's unfair that white males can't be proud of who they are as individuals only because, in the past, member of their race did horrible things. There is a double standard.
#55 to #52 - mrtoxiic (07/27/2013) [-]
Nothing at all is wrong with being proud of who you are. But the fact of the matter is that other groups of people feel the need to publicly show they are proud because in some way they have it hard when compared to another group ( white/male/straight). White straight males do not need to go as far as other groups in showing that they are proud because they by far have it the easiest in most societies.

That's becoming less true by the day. White heterosexual males are the forgotten people of our society. White males are expected to pull their on weight and not complain, while women, gays and people of other races are a lot more exposed to positive reinforcement and message of encouragement. They can also get access to special social program because of their race and gender. The white man gets nothing. I'm far from saying that their hardship compare to what gays or african american can go through. All I'm saying is, the white man doesn't have it as easy as some people might think.

Try not to mix up problems relating to race, gender, or sexual orientation to personal hardships. But, yes everyone should try with the best of their ability to pull their own weight. I'm well aware that they are minorities that abuse the help that is provided to them and some of them even feel they have the right to slack off, but there are a lot of them that because of their race or sex, genuinely need the help. The white heterosexual male appears to be expected to pull his own weight because of one simple reason. His weight is not heavy at all.

To be fair, there isn't a real argument here. Just the least oppressed group in the nation wondering why they don't get an anti-oppression movement.
#78 to #41 - agentzerothree (07/27/2013) [-]
I would like to object. In USA, currently, it's best to BE a MINORITY.
If you are black, hispanic, LGBT or feminist everything goes your way.
None of them are oppressed.
And if you for a second say you are proud to be white and male... Well prepare to be yelled at at maximum volume and intensity.
West is not a white patriarchy. It's a minority matriarchy.
I'm ready for your rage.
