CC Payoff Tactics[ Edited ]
05-08-2007 05:17 PM - edited 09-06-2007 09:40 PM
Whenever one is paying down CCs and/or trying to get their CC util down, always consider your overall CC util.
If for example the util on one CC is 84%, but one's overall util is 45%, then a couple of BTs could bring everything under 50% util--within a couple of days, then probably one billing cycle of the CCs for the CCCs to report.
Obviously paying debt down is better than transferring debt from Peter to Paul, but everyone's situation is different.
Person A might have a relatively small amount of debt compared to their income and they might thru payments alone get their util down on all CCs within a couple of months.
However, Person B might be looking at a longer repayment schedule, perhaps a couple of years rather than a couple of months. In that case, it could pay, and a lot, to get one's overall util down right away thru BTs. This could give a score boost and allow one to qualify for prime CCs or better prime CCs with lower APRs.
A BT can make some CCCs nervous that you're about to close the CC thus ending a revenue stream for them. You can confirm their fears by calling and asking about an APR reduction and CLI. Tell them straight out, "I'm trying to get rid of debt, and I'll planning to close my high interest CCs." Be nice, polite, and ask whether they can help you. Don't threaten, kick or scream. Even if they say no, be nice and thank them for their time. Tomorrow, or the next day, or next month, you might get the same CSR on the right day at the right time with the right offer available and get both a lower APR and a CLI.
If you have multiple CCs, here are my steps to try and get your APRs down and your CLs up.
1) Get the util of your CC with the highest APR down under 50%, preferably to about 40%. Pay the debt down, do a BT, or both. Once they've cashed the check(s), give 'em a call and ask about getting an APR reduction and a CLI. Tell 'em you're trying to pay down some debt, this is your highest interest CC, and you're hoping they can help you out.
2) If they say yes to a lower APR, then another CC becomes your highest APR CC. Repeat Step 1 for your new highest APR CC.
3) If they say no, then get the CC down to 10% util. Pay down, BT, or both. Once they cash that check. Call 'em and ask again about an APR reduction and a CLI. If they say yes to a lower APR, then another CC becomes your highest APR CC. Repeat Step 1 for your new highest APR CC.
4) If they say no, then pay the CC down to $0 and stick it in your sock drawer. Repeat Step 1 for you next highest APR CC.
The CCC can choose to collect lower interest on some money or higher interest on $0. Many can do the math.

by rionthelion November 03, 2010
A person is a tatty when they are a know it all and overly self promotes to the point where they lie. If you have a black cat, theirs is blacker. Similar to potatoes these persons can be refered to as 'baked ones' and dependent on how full of it they are they could potentially be fully baked which is the highest form of tatty. Any reference to potato can be used, someone could be a 'jacket of the full baked variety' this would also mean tatty. Someone who hasn't reached full tatty status would be refered to as slowely baking or mpartially baked.

MIAMI (June 11, 2014) Hurricane Cristina was churning Wednesday off Mexico's Pacific coast, with maximum sustained winds near 75 miles per hour.
The National Hurricane Center says additional strengthening is expected during the next two days.
Cristina was centered about 265 miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico, and was moving west at near 6 miles per hour.
The Hurricane Center says swells generated by Cristina are affecting parts of Mexico's south central and southwestern coast and could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

Asus confirms PadFone 2 will launch in the UK
Hybrid smartphone/tablet on sale for £599 from March.
Asus has confirmed that its PadFone 2 hybrid device will be launched in the UK in March.
The device consists of a 4.7in Android Jelly Bean smartphone, which is then able to dock into a PadStation and become a full blown tablet.
In terms of specifications, the PadFone 2 is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 2GB of RAM. It will be available with 16GB/32GB/64GB of internal memory and Asus will bundle in 50GB of cloud storage for two years.
The smartphone has a 1280 x 720 HD Super IPS+ display and a 2140mAh battery which the firm claims will provide up to 16 hours of 3G talk-time and 13 hours Wi-Fi web browsing.
Asus has also included a 13-megapixel rear camera – which includes the ability to record in 1080p and can capture six photos per second in burst mode.
When docked, the smartphone will power a larger 10.1in WXGA 1280 x 800, IPS display. The combined weight of the smartphone and tablet will be 649g.
The chassis has its own 5000mAh battery, which Asus claims gives up to 36 hours 3G talk-time. The battery pack in the dock is also able recharge the smartphone three times over.
Aside from long battery life, another major attractions of the device could be the sharing of mobile data. There is no need to have a separate SIM or data plan as the smartphone docks into the tablet to share resources. With the PadFone 2 also supporting LTE connectivity, users will be able to use high-speed mobile internet out-of-the-box.
In terms of pricing the PadFone 2 bundled with the PadStation will retail at £599 SIM-free. This is competitive and could work out cheaper for users who want to purchase a smartphone and a tablet. In comparison an iPhone 5 starts at £529 and a 9.7in iPad has a starting price of £399, bringing a total cost of iOS devices to £928.
Customers are able to pre-order online from Friday 1 March at Carphone Warehouse, John Lewis, Selfridges, Amazon.co.uk, Ebuyer.com, Scan.co.uk, Box.co.uk and laptopoutlet.co.uk.

We examine the incentive effects of funding contracts on entrepreneurial effort and on allocative efficiency. We experiment with funding contracts that differ in the structure of investor repayment and, thus, in their incentives for the provision of entrepreneurial effort. Theoretically the replacement of a standard debt contract by a repayment-equivalent non-monotonic contract reduces effort distortions and increases efficiency. Likewise, distortions can be mitigated by replacing outside equity by a repayment-equivalent standard-debt contract. We test both hypotheses in the laboratory. Our results reveal that the incentive effects of funding contracts must be experienced before they are reflected in observed behavior. With sufficient experience, observed behavior is either consistent with or close to theoretical predictions and supports both hypotheses. If we allow for entrepreneur-sided manipulations of project outcomes, we find that non-monotonic contracts lose much of their appeal.

Thank you for the plugin for Mass Tag Editing alone! I came across the plugin by chance - while searching plugins.
Why vital for me?
I did not know how to assign helpful tags when I first started a year ago.
I left posts without tags.
I moved my WordPress.com blog to W.org, and lost many tags.
Honestly, I don't know about the other features. I have been exploring them. There are so many. Mass Tag Editing is more than enough.
Thank you immensely for this plugin.

The official source of information on Managed Providers, DataSet & Entity Framework from Microsoft
EDM Changes
1. CommandText attribute on Function element in SSDL schema has been changed to a child Element.
If you used the CommandText attribute on Function elements, change it to a Child Element.
Beta 2 Code
<Function Name="InsertProduct" IsComposable="false" CommandText="Insert Products ...">
Beta 3 Code
<Function Name="InsertProduct" IsComposable="false" > <CommandText>Insert Products ...</CommandText>
2. Changed all Enumeration values in Schema Files to have Pascal Casing so that they are consistent.
Change the SchemaFiles to reflect the new values.
Csdl Changes
Beta 2
Beta 3
Ssdl Changes
ProviderManifest Changes
CSMapping Changes
CodeGeneration Changes
3. GetMappedPrimitiveType method on MetadataWorkspace and ItemCollection class has been removed.
Beta 2 Code
PrimitiveTypeKind edmType = ((PrimitiveType)
PrimitiveType sqlType = workspace.GetMappedPrimitiveType(edmType,
Beta 3 Code
TypeUsage edmType = sourceProperty.TypeUsage;
EntityConnection connection = context.Connection as EntityConnection;
DbProviderServices services = DbProviderServices.CreateProviderServices
DbProviderManifest manifest = services.GetProviderManifest
TypeUsage sqlType = manifest.GetStoreType(edmType);
4. StoreItemCollection that is Constructed over SqlConnection needs an Open or Openable connection. Previously a non-null SqlConnection would have worked even if it could not be opened.
If you were previously using a SqlConnection that was not openable and you don't prefer the provider to open a connection, you would need to use a new Constructor added to the StoreItemCollection that takes in DBProviderFactory instead of DBConnection. This would only work if the SSDL file passed into the constructor had a ProviderManifestToken attribute added to the Schema element.
storeItemCollection = new StoreItemCollection( new SqlConnection(), ssdlFilePath);
storeItemCollection = new StoreItemCollection(SqlClientFactory.Instance, ssdlFilePath);
5. Unsigned types have been removed from EDM/CSDL type system.
No mitigation for this.
Entity Services Changes
6. Obtaining the native SQL generated for a given command has changed. EntityCommand - DbProviderServices.CreateCommandDefinition, ObjectQuery.CreateCommandTree() and DbProviderServices.CreateCommandDefinition are no longer available
There is a new, simpler, pattern. Use EntityCommand.ToTraceString() or ObjectQuery.ToTraceString().
string esql = "SELECT VALUE product \n" + "FROM Northwind.Products AS product\n" + "WHERE LEFT(product.ProductName, 1) = 'C' \n" + "ORDER BY product.ProductName";EntityCommand productsCmd = connection.CreateCommand();productsCmd.CommandText = esql;connection.Open();productsCmd .Prepare();IServiceProvider serviceProvider = (IServiceProvider)EntityProviderFactory.Instance;DbProviderServices providerServices = (DbProviderServices)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(DbProviderServices));EntityCommandDefinition commandDefinition = (EntityCommandDefinition)providerServices.CreateCommandDefinition(productsCmd );foreach (string commandText in commandDefinition.MappedCommands){ Console.WriteLine(commandText);}
// For EntityCommand
string esql = "SELECT VALUE product \n" + "FROM Northwind.Products AS product\n" + "WHERE LEFT(product.ProductName, 1) = 'C' \n" + "ORDER BY product.ProductName";EntityCommand productsCmd = connection.CreateCommand();productsCmd.CommandText = esql;connection.Open();Console.WriteLine(productsCmd.ToTraceString());
// For ObjectQuery
ObjectQuery<Northwind.Product> products = northwind.Products .Where("LEFT(it.ProductName, 1) = 'C'") .OrderBy("it.ProductName");northwind.Connection.Open();Console.WriteLine(products.ToTraceString());
7. Canonical function Edm.Length() ignores trailing white space when connected to SQL Server (any version).
Previously Edm.Length() was trying to include trailing spaces. Starting with Beta 3 it maps directly to SqlServer.Len() which ignores trailing spaces. Consider trimming trailing white space on literals and properties before sending them down the pipeline.
Edm.Length('abc ') -- T-SQL: LEN('abc ' + '.') - LEN('.')-- Returns: 4
Edm.Length('abc ')
-- T-SQL: LEN('abc ')
-- Returns: 3
LINQ to Entities Changes
8. Group By can no longer be applied on a navigation property
Add the key properties of the related entity to the query after the navigation property.
var query = from p in context.Products group p by p.Category into g select new { CategoryID = g.Key, AveragePrice = g.Average(p=>p.UnitPrice) };
var query = from p in context.Products group p by p.Category.CategoryID into g select new { CategoryID = g.Key, AveragePrice = g.Average(p=>p.UnitPrice) };
Object Services Changes
9. ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry() no longer accepts an entity object instance as a parameter
Pass an EntityKey instead.
var order = context.Orders.First();
var state = context.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(order);
var state = context.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(order.EntityKey);
10. ObjectQuery.First(), -FirstOrDefault(), and -Exists() have been removed.
Use the LINQ to Entities implementation through IQueryable.
Product product = northwind.Products.First();
using System.Linq;
11. ObjectQuery.Parameters collection is locked once the query is compiled/executed.
Ability to add or remove paramters to the parameter collection once the query is compiled was an error. Now Entity Framework explicitly throws on such attempts. Note: values of existing parameters may be changed, and subsequent executions of the query will use the new values.
ObjectQuery<Product> products = northwind.Products .Where("it.ProductName LIKE @startsWith + '%'") .OrderBy("it.ProductName");products.Parameters.Add(new ObjectParameter("startsWith", "C"));foreach (Northwind.Product product in products){ Console.WriteLine("{0,2}: {1}", product.ProductID, product.ProductName);}products.Parameters.Add(new ObjectParameter("foo", "ABC"));// The above statement passes
ObjectQuery<Product> products = northwind.Products .Where("it.ProductName LIKE @startsWith + '%'") .OrderBy("it.ProductName");products.Parameters.Add(new ObjectParameter("startsWith", "C"));foreach (Northwind.Product product in products){ Console.WriteLine("{0,2}: {1}", product.ProductID, product.ProductName);}products.Parameters.Add(new ObjectParameter("foo", "ABC"));// The above statement throws InvalidOperationException
12. EntityKey.EntityKeyValues has changed from ReadOnlyCollection<KeyValuePair<string, object>> to EntityKeyMember[].
An EntityKeyMember is a KeyValuePair that can be serialized using Xml serialization. It contains both a string key name and an object key value.
13. ObjectContext no longer opens a connection during the constructor.
The ObjectContext class no longer opens the underlying EntityConnection as part of the constructor call. As a result, the MetadataWorkspace that is returned from the MetadataWorkspace property will not contain the SSpace and CSSpace metadata immediately. These metadata collections will be available the first time the ObjectContext opens the underlying EntityConnection.
14. EntityKey class no longer implements IXmlSerializable
The EntityKey class is still serializable using the XmlSerializer, but uses public properties rather than an explicit implementation of IXmlSerializable.
15. EntityKey(EntitySet entitySet, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, object>> entityKeyValues) constructor has been removed.
Use an alternative constructor.
EntityKey key = new EntityKey(entitySet, keyValues);
EntityKey key = new EntityKey(entitySet.EntityContainer.Name + "." + entitySet.Name, keyValues)
16. EntityKey(string qualifiedEntitySetName, string[] keyNames, object[] keyvalues) constructor has been removed
Use an alternative constructor such as
EntityKey key = new EntityKey("EC.ES", new string[] {"K1", "K2"}, new object[] {key1, key2});
EntityKey key = new EntityKey("EC.ES", new EntitykeyMember[] {
new EntityKeyMember("K1", key1),
new EntityKeyMember("K2", key2)});
17. ObjectStateManager.GetEntityKey(object) has been removed.
To get an EntityKey for an object instance, call ObjectContext.GetEntityKey(entitySetName, object). This key can then be used to lookup an ObjectStateEntry in the ObjectStateManager to determine if the object is being tracked.
EntityKey key = stateManager.GetEntityKey(object);
EntityKey key = context.GetEntityKey(entitySetName, object);
18. EntityCollection.CollectionChanged event has been renamed to AssociationChanged
Use the AssociationChanged event instead of the CollectionChanged event
collection.CollectionChanged += handler;
collection.AssociationChanged += handler;
19. ObjectQuery IListSource implementation is explicitly implemented.
You will need to cast the ObjectQuery to an IListSource before calling ContainsListCollection property or the GetList method.
IList list = query.GetList();
IList list = ((IListSource)query).GetList();
20. ObjectContext.Refresh no longer takes a params array of objects to refresh.
The overloads for Refresh include one that takes a single object to refresh, as well as one that takes an IEnumerable of objects to refresh.
ctx.Refresh(RefreshMode.ServerWins, o1, o2, o3);
ctx.Refresh(RefreshMode.ServerWins, new object[] {o1, o2, o3});
21. ObjectQuery.GetResultType() requires the user to open the connection.
The GetResultType() call requires that the user have the CSSpace and SSpace metadata collections loaded into the ObjectContext's MetadataWorkspace. To do this, the ObjectContext's connection must have opened at some point. The connection can be forced to open by calling ctx.Connection.Open().
Tools Changes
22. EDMX files created in CTP1 don't always open in CTP2 of the designer
The file format of .edmx files has changed in CTP2. Opening .edmx files created with earlier versions of the designer is not supported.To resolve this issue:Recreate the .edmx file in CTP2 of the designer.
23. Build error when projects with .edmx files created in Visual Studio Beta 2 and EDM Designer CTP 1 are rebuilt in Visual Studio 2008 RTM
Projects with .edmx files created in earlier CTPs had a reference to EdmxDeploy.exe in the project post-build event. Building such projects in VS 2008 RTM causes a build failure with a message that EdmxDeploy.exe cannot be found.To resolve this issue:The functionality provided by EdmxDeploy.exe is now available in the EntityDeploy MSBUILD task. Modify the post-build event in project properties and remove the reference to EdmxDeploy.exe

Jindal and national leaders tour area by air, land
Published: Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 2:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 2:14 p.m.
BATON ROUGE State and national leaders are presently exploring ways to visit and keep tabs on the hurricane-ravaged areas of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
Gov. Bobby Jindal was planning a 2 p.m. fly-over of the region with U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon and other officials. Melancon, D-Napoleonville, represents Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, where Hurricane Gustav made landfall Monday morning.
Melancon spokeswoman Robin Winchell said the congressman has been coordinating requests for visits and information since the storm entered the Gulf of Mexico.
During an interview Tuesday morning, she said those requests were intensifying.
Now that we know New Orleans was spared significant damage, the focus has turned to Houma-Thibodaux, Winchell said.
There have even been calls already from the House leadership, which toured the Gulf region last month, on a hurricane-recovery tour.
But its a little too early for that right now, Winchell said. Local officials and emergency preparedness need to get on the ground first.
Winchell also said the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has been in touch with Melancon, but only for basic information.
All of the officials had planned to also tour the area by land.

While the role of social media in catalyzing civic resistance is widely debated, most would agree that (...) (4/02/2011)

IMPACT7 is an international multi-disciplinary printmaking conference hosted by the Faculty of Art & Design, Monash University. Exploring the multiple identity of print, and the cross-disciplinary nature of print media internationally, speakers and artists involved with IMPACT7 consider the heterogeneous nature of contemporary culture. Often located at the intersections of disciplines and media, contemporary culture is a powerful political vehicle, generating diverse discourses and debates by virtue of its wide dissemination and ability to offer counterpoints to the norm. The exhibition at the Faculty Gallery reflects the issues explored in the conference through six artists who use printmaking to facilitate their ideas.
Exhibition: September 19 / October 29 2011

Ecologist A/Prof David Watson and botanical artist
Robyn Hulley have joined forces for a new book on
mistletoe, Mistletoes of Southern Australia,
published by CSIRO Publishing.
The book will launched on Friday, February 25,
at Domain House, next to the Melbourne Botanic
Gardens at 5.00pm. There will be an exhibition of
25 of Robyn's original illustrations as well as an
exhibition of work by Rebecca Mayo, a mixed
media artist and print-maker whose work
features mistletoes.
The book is a beautifully illustrated comprehensive
guide to half of Australia's 91 known mistletoe species.
It contains over 100 colour photographs, most of which
were taken by David, who also has a strong interest in
photography and 51 of Robyn's watercolour illustrations.
It is a thorough and up-to-date summary of current
knowledge and the biology, ecology and management
of mistletoes in Australia.
I have used fallen mistletoe branches to create sculptural works in which felted recycled jumpers are wrapped and stitched around the branches. In doing so, the work presents the mistletoes as 'wrapped' or 'clothed', reflecting on how mistletoe itself is encased in cultural meanings, and the parallel manner in which clothing serves to both define and delimit constructions of femininity.
Using leaves from mistletoe plants to create dyes and screenprinting inks I have printed and dyed fabrics from which I have constructed a series of six garments, each a subsequent generation from one family. These garments have then formed the basis of two series of portraits, one printed onto ply, the second onto glass. My family mistletoe portraits explore how gender relations are reflected in historical knowledge. Like mistletoe, women are keystones, vital for the formation of the family tree, yet historically represented as incidental, perhaps even as parasites.

Job fair planned to help Plywood employeesSeptember 03,2014Job fair targets
Plywood workers
A job fair organized to help some of the 170 displaced Rutland Plywood employees will be held Friday at the Holiday Inn in Rutland Town.
From noon to 3 p.m. at the conference center, roughly 20 employers from around the region will have information and applications available for about 100 full-time, part-time and temporary job positions, said Wendy Morse, regional manager of the Department of Labor.
The 70 full-time and 100 part-time and temporary employees at Rutland Plywood all lost jobs Aug. 21 when fire leveled the 84,000-square-foot plant in Rutland Town.
Rutland Plywood officials havent decided whether they will rebuild but officials have said even if the company does rebuild, it might be two years before a new plant is complete.
Normally, the Department of Labor hosts two job fairs a year in May and October, Morse said. But the fire and large-scale job loss have prompted the agency to add a third hiring session.
Morse said the companies hiring at the job fair represent a diverse cross-section of construction, manufacturing, health care and service industry businesses.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

READING THE BOOK OF LIFE: The Public Consortium; An Adroit Director Of an Unwieldy Team
By NICHOLAS WADE
Published: June 27, 2000
Francis Sellers Collins, an articulate medical geneticist, directs the National Human Genome Research Institute, a part of the National Institutes of Health, and is the most visible public spokesman for the human genome project.
Born in Staunton, Va., on April 14, 1950, Dr. Collins was trained as a physical chemist at the University of Virginia and at Yale. But later in his career he adopted two important new interests: medical genetics and Christianity, a faith he discusses with more ease than many scientists. The genome project has filled him with awe, he has said, as it revealed something only God knew before.
After obtaining an M.D. at the University of North Carolina, he and colleagues discovered the genes causing cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis and Huntington's disease.
In 1993 he succeeded Dr. James D. Watson as director of the National Institutes of Health's part of the human genome project. He has skillfully managed the unwieldy alliance that he inherited.
Dr. Collins's office finances the academic centers involved in the Human Genome Project, notably those of Washington University in St. Louis, the Whitehead Institute in Boston, and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. But a rival government agency, the Department of Energy, has a piece of the action, and Dr. Collins has also had to coordinate policy with the Wellcome Trust of London, which finances one-third of the genome and has not hesitated to lobby for its own positions.
Once the Celera Corporation appeared on the scene, critics said that an assortment of academic centers was ill-suited to the industrial-scale task of decoding the genome. But Dr. Collins has overseen a vigorous response to the Celera challenge. He focused resources on his three most successful centers and squashed a bid by the Department of Energy to collaborate with Celera.
He coordinated his far-flung team in two groups: the G5 inner circle, which included the three leading N.I.H. centers, the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute and the Sanger Center in England; and the G16 group, which included centers from Germany to China.
Large-scale sequencing of DNA is a new art that the consortium learned by doing it. Dr. Collins persuaded the centers to cooperate in an effort to sequence 90 percent of the human genome by this month. By achieving that goal on schedule, he has assured that public consortium deserves a large share of the credit.
''It was my role to serve as project manager and identify areas of difficulty, and mostly that is what I've done for the last year,'' he said last week.
Players on Consortium Team: Scientists Turned Cartographers
A physician interested in muscle disease, Robert Waterston, 56, was persuaded to study muscle disorders in the C. elegans worm, then being established as a laboratory animal by biologists in Cambridge, England. Dr. Waterston then became drawn into the project of decoding the worm's genome. As director of the genome sequencing center at Washington University in St. Louis, he and his English colleague Dr. John E. Sulston decoded the worm's genome in December 1998; it was the first animal genome to be sequenced.
Building on these methods, Dr. Waterston's center became the spearhead of the National Institutes of Health's attack on the human genome.
Looking back, he wondered if with an earlier start the consortium might not have done even more. ''John and I,'' he said last week, referring to Dr. Sulston, ''were on record in 1994 as trying to push things and saying the time was at hand. The people close to the field saw it could be done and were impatient.''
Dr. John Sulston, 58, is a biologist who directs the Sanger Center, near Cambridge, England, which is the National Institutes of Health's major partner in the Human Genome Project. Financed by the Wellcome Trust of London, the center has decoded one-third of the human genome.
Dr. Sulston is well known for having traced every cell in the C. elegans roundworm, now a standard laboratory organism, from the single cell of the egg to the 959 cells of the adult worm, a 10-year tour de force of assiduous microscope work.
As part of his interest in the worm, Dr. Sulston began to decode its DNA. The task, undertaken with Dr. Robert H. Waterston of Washington University in St. Louis, became a pilot project for the human genome.
Within the community of worm biologists, Dr. Sulston championed the view that knowledge and research tools should be free to all, an ethos he carried over to the Human Genome Project. He and Dr. Waterston, as well as the rest of the consortium scientists, decided to release their genome data nightly as a gift to the world's researchers.
Born in Australia, Dr. Richard Gibbs, 42, is director of the sequencing center at the Baylor College of Medicine, the smallest of the big three centers.
He was drawn into DNA sequencing through an interest in technology. ''It was apparent to me that technical advances could increase our understanding and help answer very profound and simple questions, like why are we different to chimps?'' he said.
But DNA sequencing is a demanding process. ''To be a scientist you have got to love it, because at a certain level you would be disappointed so much of the time,'' he said.
''You have got to love the unpeeling of knowledge; otherwise it is very difficult to stick with it.''
Dr. Elbert Branscomb, 65, directs the Joint Genome Center at the Department of Energy, under the supervision of Dr. Ari Patrinos, the associate director for biology. The department's human genome project began as an outgrowth of its interest in radiation biology.
Trained as a mathematician, Dr. Eric Lander, 43, became interested in biology, and with the help of a MacArthur award switched to the study of human disease genes. This interest led to involvement in genome sequencing. Dr. Lander is now director of the genome sequencing center at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass.
An early mathematical interest in the number 17 seems to have come full circle as Chromosome 17 was among those Dr. Lander's center was assigned.
From his interest in human biological variation, Dr. Lander has worked with Affymetrix, a maker of DNA chips, to develop a device that would scan a patient's genes, pinpointing those that differed from the consensus human sequence and that might make their owner prone to certain diseases.

The Human Genome Project, with an international consortium of 16 public research centers and the privately owned Celera Corporation, has now moved biology into the realm of Big Science.

Initiatives to help industry and government codify compatible cybersecurity requirements and capabilities are yielding some results, but acquisition experts say those plans have clouded federal cybersecurity acquisition efforts.
Participants in a May 22 panel, convened by the Coalition for Government Procurement in Tysons Corner, Va., to discuss how to navigate emerging cybersecurity acquisition rules, cited the National Institute of Standards and Technology's cyber framework and the joint "Improving Cybersecurity and Resilience through Acquisition" report issued by General Services Administration and the Pentagon, as two examples of useful programs.
But with sometimes-uneven acquisition and supply line protection rules across agencies, "the government isn't speaking with one voice" on cybersecurity acquisition, said Tom Barletta, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson who concentrates on federal acquisition law.
NIST's framework, meant to give critical infrastructure owners in 16 industries -- including banks, power and water utilities, and communications companies -- a more uniform approach to their cybersecurity practices was spurred by a February executive order. GSA's and the Defense Department's acquisition plans were submitted to the president as the order was rolled out.
David Bodenheimer, a partner at Crowell & Moring, said that as those rules and plans sink in, federal acquisition of cybersecurity IT can require expert navigation using the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, the GSA Manual and other sources. "There are 12, 15, 20 different places to look" for guidance, he said.
Federal agencies are trying to simplify those rules for future contracts, said Richard Blake, business management specialist with GSA's Federal Acquisition Service Enterprise GWAC Center, particularly under the Alliant II and Alliant II Small Business government wide acquisition contracts. Those next-generation contracting vehicles look to provide comprehensive packages of IT solutions through customizable hardware, software and services.
Blake said his agency is looking for input from the private sector on how best to harmonize cybersecurity requirements in government contracts and the supply chain.
Emile Monette, senior advisor for cybersecurity at GSA's Office of Mission Assurance, said the GSA/DoD report "represents the best thoughts from government and the private sector" on how to proceed with cybersecurity-sensitive acquisitions. Given the sensitive nature of cybersecurity technology, Monette said, some vendors might be reluctant to provide official comments on the subject. He said he understood those concerns and urged companies to send their comments to him directly if they were concerned about their sensitivity.
Given that cyber threats are ever-changing, federal acquisition rules and regulations will continue to adapt to them, complicating and slowing the acquisition process, according to Don Johnson, who works in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration.
That thought was echoed by Roger Waldron, president of the Coalition for Government Procurement.
"This struggle will continue as the threat evolves," Waldron told FCW in an interview at the conference. CGP will continue its efforts to keep members up to date on regulations, Waldron said, but he urged federal contracting officers and program managers to maintain flexibility in their processes to accommodate that threat evolution.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Agencies have spent almost $23 billion on legacy IT over the past three years, according to reports to Congress. Is a revolving fund the answer?

How Much Money Does the Tooth Fairy Leave at Your House?helaineo
Apparently, the Olen family tooth fairy is a cheapskate. My children receive $5 for the first lost tooth, and $2 thereafter.
Our tooth fairy is, alas, behind the financial curve. Survey data from Visa reveals that the average United States child receives $3 per lost baby tooth, with more than 20% netting a stunning $5 for each lost bit of mouth enamel.
What's going on?
Visa's data seems to indicate that tooth prices vary based on geographic region, with tooth collectors east of the Mississippi more generous than their Midwestern and west coast counterparts. Moreover, the amount your child might find under his or her pillow also appears to vary with which parent tips the tooth fairy off to the new gap in the their little one's mouth. Tooth fairies who coordinate with dad leave significantly more money behind when they visit than do those who chat with mom.
As for my kids, if they complain about our resident tooth fairy, I will inform them it can much worse: six percent of children receive no visit from the tooth fairy at all. Unfortunately, Visa didn't think to ask those parents the question that came to my mind immediately: What on earth are you thinking?
So what about you? How much does the tooth fairy leave under pillows at your house when she collects your children's lost teeth?

I'm working on getting W3TC 0.9.2.11 to work on my setup - Windows file host with a network file share backend at \\[path]\[share]\[site name]
w3_path and some other functions are causing me havoc and I'm working on fixing them for my setup.
In define.php:
function w3_path($path) {

$path = preg_replace('~[/\\\]+~', '/', $path);
liveoutput("path-after-preg", $path);
$path = rtrim($path, '/');
return $path;
The line in there with
preg_replace('~[/\\\]+~', '/', $path);
for me has to be
preg_replace('~[/\\\]~', '/', $path);
---without the + modifier because then is replaces
\\[path]\[share]\[site name]
/[path]/[share]/[site name]
which doesn't exist!
Hopefully something will make it into future revisions so my changes don't get lost at every update!

In the spring of 1976 Governor Hammonds bill to buy-back the Kachemak Bay oil leases and prevent drilling there was doomed in the state legislature. Then on May 5th the drill rig George Ferris became stuck deep in the mud of where it was anchored in Mud Bay. The incoming tide swamped the rig and an oil spill resulted just as the annual migration of shorebirds was arriving. All efforts to contain the spill failed and the fiasco became headline news in the local as well as Anchorage papers.
The Alzheimer's Association estimates there are more than five million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease, including 6,800 here in Alaska. In addition, there are more than 15 million Americans caring for someone with Alzheimer's or another dementia, including 33,000 Alaskans. As an Alzheimer's Ambassador, it is my honor to represent them to our elected officials.
On behalf of my family I would like to offer thanks to the owners of TrustWorthy Hardware, and their staff for welcoming us to their facility for several weekends. Thanks are also due to Kalifornsky Christian Center, and pastor Steve Toliver.
In addition, thank you to the many friendly community-members who purchased cookies at our bake sales. The funds raised will help send our son Nathanael on a missions trip to Laos. The organization he is going with is Chi Alpha, from the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus.
Hey Kenai Central High School sports fans, you are missing something if you haven't watched either a boys or girls soccer game this year. Both teams are currently ranked as one of the best in their region. They are very well coached. Mr. Reemtsma and Mr. Verkuilen and their assistants are the best. We have some very talented boys and girls. Come out Saturday as they will be playing their rivals from Soldotna. Game time for girls varsity is 11 a.m.; the boys game will start at 1 p.m. Maybe we will get lucky and get some sunshine. Go Kardinals.
Dear fellow eaters and voters, and I hope you're both,
Your story about homesteader Clyde Mullican was great. The Mullicans are an old time, classic, tight-knit family. Everyone knows at least one! Thank you for sharing his story. Thanks to him and many others like him, the Peninsula is a better place for us to live and play. Sad commentary that fishing and playing on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers have become but a memory to a lot of us. Thanks, Clyde. Your hard work and dedication to your family and the Peninsula are a wonderful legacy to us all.

A 27 year-old, HIV-positive, and under-arrest dude.
Darren Garcia offered an undercover officer a blowjob in exchange for $30. Getting a blowjob from an HIV-positive person—for free or for money—puts the recipient at practically no risk of HIV infection. That seemingly relevant fact isn't mentioned anywhere in this rather hysterical report from the Rocky Mountain News. The paper does let us know, however, that Garcia was wearing an Avalanche jersey at the time of his arrest.

The Providence College field hockey team will open the 2013 season with back-to-back home games against 11th-ranked Northwestern and Albany at Lennon Family Field in Providence, R.I. The Friars host Northwestern on Friday, August 30 at Noon, followed by their match-up against the Great Danes on Saturday, August 31 at 1:30 p.m.
The Friars finished the 2012 season with a 9-9 overall record and a 3-3 mark in the BIG EAST Conference, which placed them in a tie for third in the league's final standings. Seven of the Friars' nine losses came against nationally-ranked opponents. Four of those losses were decided by one goal, including three in overtime. Providence returns 14 letterwinners from last year's squad, including eight members of the starting line-up and nine of their top-10 scorer's. In 2012, Providence qualified for the BIG EAST Field Hockey Championship for the first time since 2009, and have appeared in the tournament in five of the last seven seasons.
The Friars return All-BIG EAST First-Team selection Henni Tietze (Sankt Augustin, Germany) and Second-Team honoree Caitlin Malone (Ossining, N.Y.). Malone, a midfielder, led the Friars in scoring last season with 27 points on nine goals and nine assists. Tietze, a defender, finished second in scoring with 26 points on 11 goals and four assists. Juniors Steph Guglielmo (Castle Rock, Colo.) and Kaleigh FitzPatrick (Dedham, Mass.) finished the 2012 season with 18 points (7 goals/4 assists) and 17 points (3 goals/11 assists), respectively.
Providence has put together a challenging schedule for the 2013 season, which features match-ups against seven teams who earned a spot in the 2013 Penn Monto / NFHCA Division I Preseason National Coaches' Poll, including No. 4 Connecticut, No. 8 Old Dominion, No. 11 Northwestern, No. 15 Northeastern, No. 16 Boston University, No. 19 Boston College and No. 20 New Hampshire. The Friars' BIG EAST schedule kicks off on Friday, September 20 against Georgetown.
In 2013, the BIG EAST will be comprised of eight teams: Providence, Georgetown, Old Dominion, Connecticut, Temple, Villanova, Rutgers and Louisville. The BIG EAST Championship is scheduled to be played at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Conn. on November 8 (semifinals) and November 10 (championship).
#11 NORTHWESTERN: The Northwestern Wildcats will face the Friars to kick off the 2013 season on Friday, August 30 at Noon in Providence, R.I. The Wildcats finished the 2012 season with a 16-4 overall record and a 4-2 mark in the Big Ten, which put them in a three-way tie for second place in the final league standings, with Michigan and Iowa. Northwestern returns 14 letterwinners from last year's squad, including eight members of the starting line-up, and is ranked 11th in the 2013 Penn Monto / NFHCA Division I Preseason National Coaches' Poll. Tara Puffenberger, who earned Third-Team All-America honors and First-Team All-Big Ten recognition in 2012, is expected to lead the Wildcats in 2013. Last year, she finished second on the team in scoring, with 40 points on 15 goals and 10 assists. Nikki Parsley, a two-time First-Team All-Big Ten selection, also will return for the Wildcats. Parsley finished the 2012 season with five points on two goals and one assist. Rounding out the list of key returners for Northwestern is Lisa McCarthy, who was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2012. McCarthy finished third on the team in scoring with 24 points on three goals and a team-best 18 assists. The Wildcats lost Chelsea Armstrong (29 goals/7 assists) and Kaylee Pohlmeyer (5 goals/5 assists) to graduation.
ALBANY: Albany and Providence will play on Saturday, August 31 in Providence, R.I. at 1:30 p.m. The Great Danes will open the season against Bryant University on August 30 at 3:30 p.m., in a neutral-site game scheduled to be played at Lennon Family Field in Providence, R.I. Albany is the preseason favorite to win the America East title in 2013. The Great Danes finished the 2012 campaign with a 13-8 overall record and a 3-2 mark in the America East. Albany won the 2012 America East Championship with victories over Maine (4-1) and New Hampshire (3-2) and earned an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. The Great Danes fell to No. 3 Penn State in the first round, 2-1. Albany will be led by returners Daphne Voormolen, Corrine McConville and Laura Page. Voormolen recorded and McConville each recorded 14 goals and three assists last season, while Page notched 15 assists.

Since its publication in 1952, E.B. White's Charlotte's Web may have been more responsible for furthering the cause of animal rights, or at least vegetarianism, than the Animal Liberation Front and Diet for a Small Planet combined. The Arden Children's Theatre understands its audience's deep attachment to humble runt-of-the-litter Wilbur, spider scribe Charlotte, and their barnyard friends' campaign to save Wilbur's bacon, and honors these sensitive, sweet characters with a saccharine-free production.
Many parents will recall the story's 1973 animated version, with Paul Lynde as Templeton the rat, singing about the state fair's veritable smorgasbord-orgasbord-orgasbord. While Joseph Robinette's adaptation leaves room for music, it's of a subtler sort. As designed by Christopher Colucci, the cast members stroll the set under David P. Gordon's wooden barn frame, strumming and humming some bluegrass (Charlie DelMarcelle on guitar and harmonica) or piping a few magical notes on a flute (Sarah Gliko's Charlotte). Drew Billiau's lighting is all bright summer days, and proving this is a show that celebrates all the sensory experiences central to young (and old) life, director Whit MacLaughlin sends his cast out into the house, waving fans doused in lavender oil.

The seasoned utility specialist who jokes he's too old to be called Kenny is retiring from the City of Dodge City after 39 1/2 years. Kenneth "Kenny" Zielke began his admirable and ever-growing career on May 31, 1974, as a "worker" — as then official job titles weren't so important — and continued to work his way up the ladder once the "itch" bit him. Over the years, Zielke has worn a number of different hats including, foreman over production, manager of water wells, and superintendent. While one would say Zielke was born to douse into this field, for Zielke, it was a temporary job that turned out to be not-so temporary... "I went to school to be a computer programmer," Zielke said. "But in the mid-70's trying to find a programming job was almost non-existent unless you went to work for the government or military." Zielke was not interested in either so his father, who was superintendent of utilities at the time brought him aboard until he was able to find "something else" but after a few years, he realized he might have landed exactly where he wanted to be. "I got to liking the job and I especially liked being trained by my father," he said. Zielke says he liked gaining knowledge about water and the waste system and was intrigued on how they inner related to each other and the environment and everything else. And for a pair of eyes that has seen his line of work evolve over almost 40 years, Zielke says what he thinks has changed the most are the rules and regulations handed down by the state and Environmental Protection Agency and the way technology has impacted his field of work. Zielke recalls wells being controlled manually. At the time when Dodge City housed only one water tower, located by the Medical Center, Zielke would be among the individuals who would watch the elevation in the tower and pressure reading. "We had one central bank of nobs and dials," he said. "It was on dedicated phone lines that went to each well. We'd watch the elevation in that tower and the pressure reading and decided when to turn on a well and how many gallons to release to that well, depending on demand. Now it's all computerized. "We set the parameters and it takes care of the rest." Zielke's last day at work was Friday, Jan. 17 and says so far he's just had fun "kicking back and taking it easy" — something he plans to do for a while until he decides to possibly head to Alaska. "I've enjoyed working with Kenny and gaining knowledge he has," Director of Engineering Services Ray Slattery said. "He's helped me out numerous times with projects and we'll probably still call on him from time to time when the need arises to help out the city." And in the times where there were talks of a casino and other projects, Slattery said Zielke was instrumental in making sure everything met city codes and specifications and oversaw a development of seven wells South of town and four new wells in town. "Throughout Kenny's employment with the City of Dodge City, he has acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise regarding municipal water and waste water collection systems.� These systems are extremely complicated systems when realizing the number of water wells, miles of infrastructure lines and the extreme amount of monitoring and compliance issues required for water quality and other environmental safety concerns," stated City Manager Cherise Tieben.� "We appreciate the commitment Kenny has given throughout his career to help the City maintain and expand our infrastructure needs and always keeping the safety surrounding these systems for our community as the focus."

This was very enjoyable! I had fresh tomatoes I needed to use up, so I used those rather than canned and I added an avocado to the mix. I would have added more hot peppers, but I was making it for a crowd and didn't know how much heat they could stand. Thanks for posting!Update: Next day, I combined the leftovers with some ground beef, tomato sauce and taco seasonings, cheddar cheese and sour cream for a great calzone filling.
I made this to be used for your Chili-Lime Chicken and Mexi-Ranch Salad, but also tasted some plain with baked chips. I used fresh tomatoes and ended up adding the avocado from the salad to it, so it wouldn't brown. That would be a great variation, like guacamole with black beans and corn. It was really good plain, but even better on the salad.
Made this as a dip to take to our 4th of July BBQ to serve with tortilla chips.... but guests were really getting creative with it and I saw people putting it on top of Elegant Baked Potatoes I used one can of diced tomatoes and 1 very small can of green chilies, I also added the zest of one lime and 1/2 a jalapeno pepper - everything else I did the same. This made a huge amount and I've got plenty leftover for guests tomorrow too! Made for PRMR tag game.
this is delicious, I did a few amount adjustments and added in cayenne pepper and a large jalapeno pepper for heat, the flavor only improves with refrigeration time, so I made this a day ahead, thanks for sharing hon!
I just loved this, DH really liked it. Very easy to throw together. Has a wonderful flavor and lots of great color. I served this for one of our "snack nights". I did add some dice jalapeño to give it a bit of heat. Served with tortilla chips. This will be made again. Thanks Gatorbek for posting.
YUM! Good stuff! I did add minced jalapeno. Very easy and quick to make. Thanks.
This was good, good, good!!!! I made this over the weekend for casual guests with tortilla chips and everyone loved it. I added roasted red peppers and just a few jalapenos to mine, it went great! I will be making this again, thanks for posting :)

Left 4 Dead 2 is "a really big departure" for Valve, says Faliszek
Valve writer Chet Faliszek has admitted to Eurogamer that Left 4 Dead 2 is "a really big departure" for the developer while creating the sequel.
"Left 4 Dead 2 is a really big departure for us. For example, with Half-Life 2 Episode 1, do you remember when you get into the Citadel for the first time, there's one of the big things that fly over you, and he's holding some striders?
Getting people to look up to that was impossible. We put a guy up in a balcony shooting at you, and then you turn and look. Problem with Left 4 Dead is, it's all dynamic, it's meant to be different every time, we never want to have that guy up there always shooting at you," said Faliszek.
Game is out on November 17 for Xbox 360 and PC.
