Former England captain Graham Gooch has described the current turmoil surrounding the national team as "an unholy mess".
Skipper Kevin Pietersen and coach Peter Moores are both widely reported to have left their posts but there has been no official comment from the England and Wales Cricket Board.
The pair's status has been under intense scrutiny over the past week amid continuing reports of a power struggle at the top of the English game.
Gooch told BBC Radio Five Live: "I thought one of them was going to go because they don't get on and they don't see eye to eye.
"What really worries me is what's going on in the dressing room. There are obviously some factions in the dressing room, some with Pietersen and some not, and that's not the sort of harmony you want before a big series in the West Indies and of course the Ashes.
"As soon as (the rift) went public one or other of the parties is backed into a corner and something has to happen.
"It's going to take a strong character as captain and a strong character as coach, or as an interim coach. England have got to concentrate on the cricket and not have these off-field distractions. It is an unholy mess at the moment."
Former England all-rounder Dominic Cork criticised the ECB for failing to deal with the issues surrounding Pietersen and Moores.
He told Sky Sports News that England were now "a laughing stock" and this would give Australia "a bit of confidence before the Ashes" next summer.
Cork said: "This gets transmitted all round the world. It's an important year, not just the Ashes, but the World Twenty20, a tour of the West Indies.
"This should have been sorted in-house. whether by (ECB chairman) Giles Clarke or (managing director) Hugh Morris and again we're allowing English cricket to become a laughing stock."
Pietersen, 28, was only appointed in August and has been in charge for just three Test matches.
He reportedly voiced concerns about working with Moores then and now it seems their relationship has broken down irretrievably.
Another ex-England captain, Alec Stewart, told Sky News: "Inside a few months that relationship proved not strong enough and now we're talking about who will be the new England captain.
"I'm a big fan of Kevin Pietersen. He's a tremendous player and will probably be a great of the game by the time his career finishes. I was all in favour of him being England captain. He had a lot to offer both as batsman and captain.
"Captain is a 24-7 job. It's not just about making decisions on the field - the responsibilities are off-field. It's vital that partnership with the coach and manager is very strong. They won't always agree.
"It's about working with the authorities - in this case the ECB, the coach - planning for game practice sessions, etc. It appears Pietersen had a different outlook to Peter Moores in how they wanted the team to move forward.
"I understand the ECB offered Peter Moores a two-year extension to his contract and the extension of that offer came before Christmas. They obviously felt Peter Moores was the right man to take England forward. Pietersen obviously felt he was not being backed and that's why he resigned."
Stewart feels Pietersen may look back with some regret at the developments which seemingly caused the end of his reign after just over five months.
"In football the manager runs everything," said the former Surrey wicketkeeper-batsman.
"If any Manchester United player questioned Sir Alex Ferguson they would be on the transfer list and out very quickly.
"In cricket, it's generally seen that the captain is the boss. He's making decisions on the field - he's accountable.
"The coach/manager in cricket is there to support the captain.
"I can understand Pietersen wanting things his way. In hindsight maybe he'll think he went about it the wrong way."
Erstwhile England coach David Lloyd believes the ECB were on a sticky wicket from the moment they chose their best player, Pietersen, as captain.
That, Lloyd contends, is a flawed policy in cricket - borne out by history.
Lloyd said: "You have a star player - and make no mistake this guy is world-class - but do you have your best player as captain?
"I don't think so. Brian Lara, Ian Botham, Geoff Boycott - don't put them anywhere near the captaincy; keep them as your star player."
Former England captain Nasser Hussain is exasperated by an unnecessary crisis which, he believes, is of the ECB's own making.
"What disappoints me is there was no real need for this," Hussain told Sky News.
"As per usual, just before the Ashes they go and shoot themselves in the foot."
Hussain, who has particular sympathy for Moores, is frustrated by the administrators.
"It is up to the ECB to make it crystal clear. They should be out there telling us who is captain and who is coach - who is in charge of the England team," he added.
Moores' apparent departure is a particular cause for regret, according to Hussain.
"I do feel a little bit for Moores - what has he done so wrong?" he asked.
"He has been a little bit let down. He has not spoken out about Kevin Pietersen or any of his team - but unfortunately, because of what has happened this last week, his position has become untenable."
There have been suggestions that the situation came to a head after Pietersen issued an ultimatum to the ECB that either Moores or he would have to go.
Hussain added that he felt Pietersen's captaincy was always destined to end in tears.
He told Sky Sports News: "He was going to be in your in face and question people and take people on.
"They must have known that eventually it was going to come to a clash between Pietersen and Moores. They should have been able to react to that.
"If they have given him the job to be this abrasive, this in your face, maybe they should have sat down and listened, [and asked] 'What are we going to do then?'
"And maybe Kevin Pietersen himself - not maybe but definitely - should have gone about this in a much more professional way.
"You can't just sit on safari in South Africa and issue ultimatums to the board about the England cricket captaincy. It is far too important for that. You get off your backside, come to England and sit down with your bosses and decide and discuss what is the best way to progress.
"What has happened in the past week has been very poor from a lot of people."

Well both of those point the finger at Kyle, so assigning to him for more investigation.
I could be wrong, but it seems as if Bug 783015 mitigated/fixed the Issue. Will verify later on by checking Tinderbox Builds....
Ok, I call this fixed =)

I can still spot some flashes on the first loop in Firefox 17.0 Beta 4, then it works fine.

Anyone else seeing this in Beta? XtC4UaLL?
Yep, you're right: there's still a one-time Flashing in the first Loop for me using

I presume it got fixed fully in the 18 Cycle and this should be wontfixed for 17.
We won't be able to set this to verified, but this isn't severe enough to actually re-open (there is an improvement as compared to the original report.).
Any suggestions from people who worked on bug 783015? Kyle?
Anthony, do you have any suggestions here?
Actually, same question for Olli (his patches fixed a part of this bug through bug 783015).
bug 783015 was about performance and power usage. Don't know about flashing/painting.
I think it's safe to mark this verified for Firefox 17. We know it's not 100% fixed but it's pretty close. I think it's sufficient to let it ride Firefox 18 to release and call this done.

In spite of the awful weather (our normal rainfall for six months in six

Pros: Great specifications, great performance, great warranty, quality MSI product.
Laptop flies; a true desktop replacement. Form factor and design, imo, are nice. Arguments over keyboard flex are overly inaccurate. Slight keyboard flex, but expected w/ a laptop. If you slam your keys, you probably will notice it.
Sound is great, graphics are great. Raid 0 boot times average about 47 seconds. Swapped an SSD and I am getting average of 17 second boot times.
My windows rating w/ the SSD is 7.4, which is amazing for a laptop.
If you quantify performance/$ base, this really hits the sweet spot.
Complaints about the mouse pad are true, ONLY, if you decide to use a finger other than your pointer (strange, I know). If you use your pointer finger, it seems to be accurate and responsive.
Playing SWTOR on max settings with an average of 50 FPS.
This laptop with Turbo Mode runs equivalent to a 560 TI.
Great value imo.
Cons: No caps lock indicator on keyboard (big deal!). MSI put in a software fix available on their drivers web site that notifies you when the capslock button has been pressed.
Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a laptop that is up-gradable, that will last you a good while. A laptop that will hit the sweet spot of value vs money vs shelf life; this is the sweet spot as of this date (1/29/12).READ FULL REVIEW

Sexual desire is a dreadful basis on which to pick someone to have children with. The fact that you want to go to bed with them has virtually no bearing on whether you will form a good team in the fiendishly taxing matter of trying to care for kiddies.
Men are largely influenced by the shapeliness of the bodies and prettiness of faces of women - as I have pointed out here before, roughly speaking, the more like Anna Kournikova the better. Personality attributes come far behind nubility and youth, or the cosmetic semblance thereof.
This is a cruel trick of nature. The fact that a person looks like Ms K does not (a) mean she'll be any good at looking after kids or (b) that you'll still wish to be with her when she begins to look like her mother.
By contrast, women are more concerned with mental attributes - such as whether a man is funny - and with his social and economic status. How else could one explain the youth of Woody Allen's or Michael Winner's sexual partners?
This is, if anything, even crueller. Very funny or very successful men are also very liable to be absolute pigs as fathers - never at home, prone to playing away and office-politics-obsessed, manipulative emotional pygmies.
Again and again, talented, able women when young are highly competitive with other women and proudly land a hard-driving spouse, a trophy husband. Hoping for equality and getting none, having realised their successful man is never going to be much use in any departments other than hunting, gathering and golf, their second partnership is with a much lower status but much nicer man. Happiness follows.
Equally common is the male executive who married for looks, but eventually ends up spending his dotage with his much dowdier, long-term personal assistant, a woman who shares his fascination with business. Had he known at 25 what he knows at 50, he would never have dreamt of tying the knot with his first wife. Both groups' vision is distorted by desire when picking their mates. But evolutionists have totally failed to explain why we have developed in this grossly unsatisfactory fashion.
They claim that men go for nubility, because it's a marker for fertility, and that women go for power and status, because it means the kids will get fed. In fact, whatever it's based on, desire as the foundation of a reproductive relationship is inevitably going to lead to a lot of unhappy partnerships.
If evolution is so important, how come this useless method of pairing us off has not been naturally selected out of our genes? It's just one of hundreds of human traits which presumably have a genetic basis (because they are species-wide), but do not seem to adaptively increase the survival of the fittest at all (eg homosexuality, stupidity).
It's time to admit the limits of what Darwin can explain and discourage both sexes from regarding desire as the main criterion for becoming mummies and daddies.

It was such a thrill to attend the 50th Annual CMA Awards earlier this month. A special thanks to photographer Joseph Llanes who captured photos of past winners. As I entered the CMA night, many memories came rushing back to me of those magical nights. It has been a dream come true, touched with the realization of how blessed I am to be an award winner. Here's to 50 amazing years of country music, and many more to come!
I enjoyed FANFEST and was so excited to sing on the CMA WSM/ Durango stage, thanks to Webster PR and Team for making it happen. The band was great, they backed many acts on the show and played flawlessly! It is a special moment to say hello to so many fans from the USA, and internationally at the autograph table. Love you all! -Janie
It's been so much fun touring these last few weeks playing concerts throughout the country. We've had some great shows recently, including one with the Gatlin Brothers in Iowa, Ronnie Milsap and Moe Bandy in Branson, and the final stop for the year is in Wisconsin Dells, WI at the Crystal Grand Theater on November 15. It's been another great year, and I can't wait to see everyone next year!

Rangers to play Linfield in friendly at Windsor Park
Scottish giants Rangers will face Linfield this summer in a match to mark the Windsor Park club's 125th anniversary.
The Blues confirmed the fixture last night after they received confirmation from Rangers that they were happy to accept an invite to come to Belfast for a game that is likely to be a 14,000 sell-out.
No date for the visit of the Gers — who could include Northern Ireland internationals Steven Davis, Kyle Lafferty and Andrew Little in their line-up — has been agreed and it is likely that European games in July will play a part in dictating that, but it will be part of the pre-season programme.
"We are delighted that Rangers very willingly accepted our invitation and we are presently looking with Rangers at a date just before the new season," said Linfield chairman Jim Kerr.
"Our supporters will look forward to this game and we can expect a huge travelling contingent over from Scotland."
Just a few years ago Rangers were frequent visitors to Windsor Park, with three friendly fixtures taking place over a four-year period, but they haven't sent a full first-team squad to Belfast since July 2006.
This time, however, it will be an even bigger occasion for Linfield as a club they have a close relationship with helps them to mark a significant milestone in their history.
Rangers goalscoring legend Ally McCoist is expected to take over as manager of Rangers from Walter Smith in the summer and the trip to Windsor Park will therefore be one of his first games in charge of the club he scored a record 335 goals for in a 15-year career.
Linfield are hoping that there will be other major friendly matches as part of their anniversary year.
Discussions surrounding such games on-going at present.

It is 50 years now since the beatific-faced Carl Boehm played a duffel-coat wearing serial killer, trying to catch the moment of his female victims' death on camera, in Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960.) The critics were utterly dismissive of what is now considered one of the most influential films in British cinema history. Tabloids and broadsheets were equally coruscating. Powell's masterpiece was "the sickest, filthiest film I remember seeing," according to The Spectator, "loathsome", at least to Alexander Walker of the London Evening Standard, "perverted nonsense" in the eyes of the Daily Worker; worthy only of being shovelled up and flushed "swiftly down the nearest sewer" in the words of Tribune. The Observer's critic professed herself "sickened" before making an indignant and early exit from the press screening.
"They cancelled the British distribution, and they sold the negative as soon as they could to an obscure black-marketeer of films who tried to forget it, and forgotten it was, along with its director, for 20 years," Powell wrote in his memoir Million-Dollar Movie.
The story of how Peeping Tom was championed by Martin Scorsese (among others) has often been told. In hindsight, it is apparent that the critical revulsion toward the film was prompted not by its formal or aesthetic shortcomings but because of its subject matter. A self-reflexive film about scopophilia and the murderous gaze was never likely to appeal to British reviewers of the period. Even the ones who hated it the most acknowledged that Powell had "remarkable technical gifts" and praised the acting and cinematography. Their gripes were with a story (by Leo Marks) driven by "sadism, sex, and the exploitation of human degradation."
Peeping Tom is far from the only film reviled by critics and distrusted by audiences on its first appearance and then reclaimed as a masterpiece a short while later. Only a few weeks after the release of Peeping Tom, several British critics were similarly discomfited by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. "Psycho analysis – I didn't like it," quipped the headline of the London Evening News review. After listing all the scenes he disapproved of ("a naked girl being grabbed over and over again when she takes a shower," "a young man preserving with chemicals the body of his mother whom he has murdered"), the reviewer concluded that "Hitchcock has tarnished a once great reputation."
The Evening Standard's Alexander Walker called Psycho as "a stomach-churning, nasty essay into horror... what nauseates one is [Hitchcock's] sick relish of anything in it that is perverted or blood-spattered. And much is." Meanwhile, The Daily Telegraph called the film "a curious, disappointing piece which, for all its modern setting and psychological background, recalls old-fashioned or Victorian melodramas by its very absurdity." The veteran British director seems to have factored in a measure of critical revulsion as a useful part of the marketing campaign. The mixed notices did nothing at all to dent the box-office returns for Psycho.
One film now acknowledged as a cast-iron modern classic but almost destroyed at birth by critical bile was Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde (1967). "A cheap piece of bald-faced slapstick comedy... it leaves an astonished critic wondering just what purpose Mr Penn and Mr Beatty think they serve with this strangely antique, sentimental claptrap," Bosley Crowther, the all-powerful critic of The New York Times, fulminated. Crowther was a representative of the old guard. He didn't like the combination of slapstick and lurid violence in Bonnie and Clyde. Nor did he appreciate "Miss Dunaway squirming grossly as his thrill-seeking, sex-starved moll". Other US reviewers were hostile too. Time magazine decided that the real fault with Bonnie and Clyde was its "sheer, tasteless aimlessness". New York magazine decided that "slop is slop, even served with a silver ladle."
These critics' hostility risked being as lethal as the machine-gun fire at the end of Bonnie and Clyde when it came to the film's commercial prospects. Thankfully for Warren Beatty and Co, their movie was championed by a new generation of critics including Pauline Kael in The New Yorker and her rival Andrew Sarris in The Village Voice. After its lacklustre US opening, it was eventually re-released to Oscars, huge acclaim and box-office success. Some of its original detractors even revised their views, belatedly accepting that the film was ground-breaking and that its use of violence was justified.
The US critics' disdain for Bonnie and Clyde was matched by the contempt that the French in 1939 showed toward Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game. The film now regularly nestles close to the top of critics' polls but was a disaster on its original release. Renoir was attacked for having had the gall to satirise the French aristocracy on the eve of the Second World War. The film did no business at the box-office and ended up being banned by the Nazis anyway. "I wanted to depict a society dancing on a volcano," the director said of his portrayal of the frivolous upper-classes, seemingly oblivious to the historical forces that were about to engulf them. Audiences in late 1930s France were in no mood to heed Renoir's warnings.
Throughout cinema history, visionary directors have often left audiences and critics baffled. Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey attracted barbs. The Los Angeles Times complained about its "deliberate obscurantism." Renata Adler in The New York Times complained about what she thought "a very complicated, languid movie... so completely absorbed in its own problems, its use of colour and space, its fanatical devotion to science-fiction detail, that it is somewhere between hypnotic and immensely boring".
Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate, seen as a masterpiece by many Europeans, flopped at least partly because the influential critic Vincent Canby suggested, in The New York Times, that watching it was "like a forced, four-hour walking tour of one's own living room."
There are plentiful recent examples of films being dismissed by critics before being fast-tracked into the canon of modern classics. "War may be hell, but watching war movies can also be hell, especially when they don't get to the point," trade paper Variety wrote of Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar winner The Hurt Locker, adding that the film didn't "bring anything new to the table of grunts-in-the-firing-line movies."
Now that they're reached the grand old age of 50, both Peeping Tom and Psycho have attained a respectability that would have seemed very unlikely back in 1960. Rather than being flushed down the nearest sewer, the former is likely to be the subject of earnest articles and highbrow TV and radio discussions when it is re-released later this year. Psycho, meanwhile, is probably Hitchcock's best-known film, endlessly revived and imitated.
You can't accuse critics and audiences of simply getting it wrong. They called it as they saw it. Those reviewers who savaged Peeping Tom or cinema-goers who booed The Rules of the Game were (one must assume) behaving with all sincerity. They didn't like what they were seeing on screen and they found their own ways of expressing their disdain. Years later, these films have been reassessed and the original verdicts against them have long since been set aside. Powell lived to see his reputation rehabilitated, even if he was living in poverty in a cottage in the Cotswolds when Martin Scorsese began to champion his work.
But you can't help but feel a nagging suspicion that some film-makers whose work has been reassessed will miss their old notoriety. After all, although bad reviews can be immensely damaging, there is nothing quite as deadening as critical respectability.
'Peeping Tom', 50th anniversary release, is scheduled for September. 'Psycho' 50th Anniversary Edition will be available on Blu-Ray Hi-Def on 9 August

The 2013 BMW HP4 is the track-ready version of the manufacturer's already mighty S1000RR, which puts the bike at the very tip top of the two-wheeled BMW food chain. The R1200GS, meanwhile, is intended to be a somewhat more utilitarian machine. Capable of conveying both rider and gear over vast distances and uncertain terrain, the big-boy GS is the Swiss army knife to the HP4's rapier. Or at least that's what we've always been led to believe. BMW recently rolled out some footage during a press la

JEXL stands for Java EXpression Language. It's not a part of the GATK as such; it's a software library that can be used by Java-based programs like the GATK. It can be used for many things, but in the context of the GATK, it has one very specific use: making it possible to operate on subsets of variants from VCF files based on one or more annotations, using a single command. This is typically done with walkers such as VariantFiltration and SelectVariants.
In this context, a JEXL expression is a string (in the computing sense, i.e. a series of characters) that tells the GATK which annotations to look at and what selection rules to apply.
JEXL expressions contain three basic components: keys and values, connected by operators. For example, in this simple JEXL expression which selects variants whose quality score is greater than 30:
QUAL is a key: the name of the annotation we want to look at
30.0 is a value: the threshold that we want to use to evaluate variant quality against
> is an operator: it determines which "side" of the threshold we want to select
The complete expression must be framed by double quotes. Within this, keys are strings (typically written in uppercase or CamelCase), and values can be either strings, numbers or booleans (TRUE or FALSE) -- but if they are strings the values must be framed by single quotes, as in the following example:
"MY_STRING_KEY == 'foo'"
You can build expressions that calculate a metric based on two separate annotations, for example if you want to select variants for which quality (QUAL) divided by depth of coverage (DP) is below a certain threshold value:
You can also join multiple conditional statements with logical operators, for example if you want to select variants that have both sufficient quality (QUAL) and a certain depth of coverage (DP):
&& is the logical "AND".
Or if you want to select variants that have at least one of several conditions fulfilled:
"QD < 2.0 || ReadPosRankSum < -20.0 || FS > 200.0"
|| is the logical "OR".
You can also filter individual samples/genotypes in a VCF based on information from the FORMAT field. Variant Filtration will add the sample-level FT tag to the FORMAT field of filtered samples. Note however that this does not affect the record's FILTER tag. This is still a work in progress and isn't quite as flexible and powerful yet as we'd like it to be. For now, you can filter based on most fields as normal (e.g. GQ < 5.0), but the GT (genotype) field is an exception. We have put in convenience methods to enable filtering out heterozygous calls (isHet == 1), homozygous-reference calls (isHomRef == 1), and homozygous-variant calls (isHomVar == 1).
You're probably used to case being important (whether letters are lowercase or UPPERCASE) but now you need to also pay attention to the type of value that is involved -- for example, numbers are differentiated between integers and floats (essentially, non-integers). These points are especially important to keep in mind:
Currently, VCF INFO field keys are case-sensitive. That means that if you have a
QUAL field in uppercase in your VCF record, the system will not recognize it if you write it differently (
qual or whatever) in your JEXL expression.
The types (i.e. string, integer, non-integer or boolean) used in your expression must be exactly the same as that of the value you are trying to evaluate. In other words, if you have a QUAL field with non-integer values (e.g. 45.3) and your filter expression is written as an integer (e.g. "QUAL < 50"), the system will throw a hissy fit (aka a Java exception).
We highly recommend that complex expressions involving multiple AND/OR operations be split up into separate expressions whenever possible to avoid confusion. If you are using complex expressions, make sure to test them on a panel of different sites with several combinations of yes/no criteria.
Note that this last part is fairly advanced and not for the faint of heart. To be frank, it's also explained rather more briefly than the topic deserves. But if there's enough demand for this level of usage (click the "view in forum" link and leave a comment) we'll consider producing a full-length tutorial.
When you use SelectVariants with JEXL, what happens under the hood is that the program accesses something called the VariantContext, which is a representation of the variant call with all its annotation information. The VariantContext is technically not part of GATK; it's part of the
variant library included within the Picard tools source code, which GATK uses for convenience.
The reason we're telling you about this is that you can actually make more complex queries than what the GATK offers convenience functions for, provided you're willing to do a little digging into the VariantContext methods. This will allow you to leverage the full range of capabilities of the underlying objects from the command line.
In a nutshell, the VariantContext is available through the
vc variable, and you just need to add method calls to that variable in your command line. The bets way to find out what methods are available is to read the VariantContext documentation on the Picard tools source code repository (on SourceForge), but we list a few examples below to whet your appetite.
For example, suppose I want to use SelectVariants to select all of the sites where sample NA12878 is homozygous-reference. This can be accomplished by assessing the underlying VariantContext as follows:
java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R b37/human_g1k_v37.fasta --variant my.vcf -select 'vc.getGenotype("NA12878").isHomRef()'
Groovy, right? Now here's a more sophisticated example of JEXL expression that finds all novel variants in the total set with allele frequency > 0.25 but not 1, is not filtered, and is non-reference in 01-0263 sample:
! vc.getGenotype("01-0263").isHomRef() && (vc.getID() == null || vc.getID().equals(".")) && AF > 0.25 && AF < 1.0 && vc.isNotFiltered() && vc.isSNP() -o 01-0263.high_freq_novels.vcf -sn 01-0263
The classic way of evaluating a boolean goes like this:
java -Xmx4g -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R b37/human_g1k_v37.fasta --variant my.vcf -select 'DB'
But you can also use the VariantContext object like this:
java -Xmx4g -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R b37/human_g1k_v37.fasta --variant my.vcf -select 'vc.hasAttribute("DB")'
The order of alleles in the VariantContext object is not guaranteed to be the same as in the VCF output, so accessing the AF by an index derived from a scrambled alleles array is dangerous. However! If we have the sample genotypes, there's a workaround:
java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R reference.fasta -V multiallelics.vcf -select 'vc.hasGenotypes() && vc.getCalledChrCount(vc.getAltAlleleWithHighestAlleleCount())/(1.0*vc.getCalledChrCount()) > 0.1' -o multiHighAC.vcf
The odd 1.0 is there because otherwise we're dividing two integers, which will always yield 0. The
vc.hasGenotypes() is extra error checking. This might be slow for large files, but we could use something like this if performance is a concern:
java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R reference.fasta -V multiallelics.vcf -select 'vc.isBiallelic() ? AF > 0.1 : vc.hasGenotypes() && vc.getCalledChrCount(vc.getAltAlleleWithHighestAlleleCount())/(1.0*vc.getCalledChrCount()) > 0.1' -o multiHighAC.vcf
Where hopefully the ternary expression shortcuts the extra
vc calls for all the biallelics.
Sometimes you might want to write a JEXL expression to evaluate e.g. the AD (allelic depth) field in the FORMAT column. However, the AD is technically not an integer; rather it is a list (array) of integers. One can evaluate the array data using the "." operator. Here's an example:
java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R b37/human_g1k_v37.fasta --variant my.vcf -select 'vc.getGenotype("NA12878").getAD().0 > 10'
If you would like to select sites where the alternate allele frequency is greater than 50%, you can use the following expression:
java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R b37/human_g1k_v37.fasta --variant my.vcf -select vc.getGenotype("NA12878").getAD().1 / vc.getGenotype("NA12878").getDP() > 0.50

Questions up to August 2014 have been moved to an archival thread:
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
Hi Geraldine_VdAuwera,
Thanks for the detail about JEXL expression .I used SelectVariants -select 'vc.getGenotype("SampleN").isHet' or .isHomVar for selecting the known genotype like "0/1 or 1/1". But in my VCF file, there are some missing genotype like "." , and I also want to select those unknow genotype. Can you give me some comments for this. Thanks.
Hi Xie,
To select the unknown genotypes (./.) you can select for anything that is not homref, het, or homvar.
Hi Sheila, thank you for you timely reply. I select by vc.getGenotype('sample08').isnotHomVar() ..., but there is error:
"Invalid JEXL expression detected for select-0 with message ![72,85]: vc.getGenotype('sample08').isnotHomVar() && vc.getGenotype('sample08').isnotHet();' unknown, ambiguous or inaccessible method isnotHomVar"
I think the problem is incorrect JEXL expression. So are there some JEXL expressions for select setting ?
Hi Xie,
Instead of using vc.getGenotype('sample08').isnotHomVar(), try using
! vc.getGenotype('sample08').isHomVar(). The ! means not.
Hi Sheila,
Thanks again for your reply, It makes sense.
I want to be able to select the sites that have a DP >= 5 for all my samples. I have 24 samples, all of them "C??" (i.e. C01, C04, C12, etc). I tried using the * wildcard character like this: 'vc.getGenotype("C*").getDP() >= 5' , but this gave me an error. Is there a way to do this, or will I have to write the command individually for each sample (separated by &&)? Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately, you cannot iterate over sample names using the variant context operations. You will have to make a script to run on each sample name.
Thanks for your response @Sheila. It's ok, I can script it for all sample names but it's just not as neat and elegant of a code as it would be if there was a way to iterate through. Oh well, it will do what I need it to do nevertheless!
Hi, sorry but I have another question. I keep getting errors with this filtering expression, and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
(Note: this is a snippet of my script, $java, $GATK, and $ref variables are defined elsewhere in the script).
$java -Xmx2g -jar $GATK \
-T SelectVariants \
-R $ref \
--restrictAllelesTo BIALLELIC \
--variant Variants.SNPs.filtered1.vcf.C01.5.vcf \
--select_expressions 'vc.getGenotype("C01").isHet()' \
--select_expressions '((double)(vc.getGenotype("C01").getAD().0) / (vc.getGenotype("C01").getAD().1 + vc.getGenotype("C01").getAD().0)) > 0.25' \
--select_expressions '((double)(vc.getGenotype("C01").getAD().0) / (vc.getGenotype("C01").getAD().1 + vc.getGenotype("C01").getAD().0)) < 0.75' \
-o Variants.Het.SNPs.C01.5.vcf
This is the error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument select-2has a bad value. Invalid expression used.
I double-checked my casting rules in Java for casting the int of AD into a double, and it seems fine to me. I even tested an analogous situation with simple numbers and it works.
boolean x = ((double) (1) / (2+3)) < 1; //x is true
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Hmm, I'm not sure JEXL allows you to do type casting -- I've never seen it used in a JEXL expression. To be honest I would probably just dump the data using VariantsToTable and do the selection in R, which is more flexible for complex queries.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
Thanks @Geraldine_VdAuwera, I will keep that option in mind as I continue filtering my variants. But actually I was able to get the above script to work by converting it to a float instead of a double. Others may find this useful:
Oh nice, glad to hear you got it to work. And thanks for reporting your solution for other users' benefit.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
Because this has moved a few times since my last post.
For people who can read (a little) java, here is the link to the implementation:
I'm not sure this link works, so alternatively go to:
https://github.com/samtools/htsjdk/ and find it below /src/java/htsjdk/variant/variantcontext/VariantContext.java
It has all the cool stuffs like vc.isPolymorphicInSamples() vc.isIndel()
I have a vcf which in FORMAT field has a tag HQ which is an array of integers (e.g. 40,200)
CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT sampleIdGoesHere
1 815233 . TC CA 540 PASS AN=2;AC=1;RPM=L1M3|L1|31.4;SEGDUP=8 GT:VT:FT:HFT:GQ:HQ:PL:DP:AD 0/1:ref,delins:PASS:PASS,PASS:341:341,488:540,0,364:249:46,200

I want to filter records such that either of the HQ values are >200
Is there a way to do that ?
I think using JEXL should work. Have a look at this document: http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org/discussion/1255/variant-filtering-methods-involving-jexl-queries The last section "Example using JEXL to evaluate arrays" should help.
I'd like to perform site-level select or filtering on a VCF, using a criteria based on genotype attributes. Specifically, I'd like do things like select/filter sites where at least one genotype has depth > X, or where all genotypes have depth < Y. There is a post above about evaluating arrays, which I think is analogous to what I'm after. However, that example seems to be subsetting a specific genotype: 'vc.getGenotype("NA12878").getAD().0 > 10', as opposed to doing some sort of loop or aggregate (for example, max(DP) could accomplish what I need). Is this sort of thing possible? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ben,
Unfortunately, you will need to to write your own script to do what you want. The evaluating arrays section refers only to evaluating annotations that are arrays of values (like AD).
@bbimber As a workaround I would recommend looking into VariantsToTable to output a table of the properties you're interested in, set up your evaluation logic in an Rscript (or a civilized scripting language) and use that to output a list of positions that you want to filter or keep, then use that to SelectVariants the subset that you want. Bit roundabout but less risky than scripting something to parse the VCF directly, in my opinion.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
That last comment about AD actually brings up another question. I am hoping to apply genotype filters based on AD. I was trying something like:
-G_filter "isHet && g && g.hasAd() && g.getAD().1 < 5"
I would have assumed the Genotype was in scope (like vc); however, after reviewing the code, I dont think that's true. Could I confirm that?
Second, I think AD gets omitted. From what I can see, when the Genotype is put into the JEXLMap, a handful of fields are explicitly added, and then it defers to getExtendedAttributes(). However, if you look at FastGenotype, AD wont be part of getExtendedAttributes():
Is this an oversight?
The syntax for getting at AD values (e.g.
-select 'vc.getGenotype("NA12878").getAD().0 > 10') is given in the document above, see the last point in the doc.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
sorry if the post wasnt clear, but i'm asking about genotype filters, not site-level filters. As noted above, from what I see in the code, the JEXLMap is populated through different codepaths.
doing a genotype-level filter on a hard-coded samplename wouldnt make sense, for example. i'm pretty sure 'vc' isnt put in scope for the genotype filters either.
Ah, I'm afraid we don't currently provide support for using advanced JEXL in genotype filters, sorry. It's just not something we use internally, so we've never explored this. What's currently on this page is all we can offer to help with at this time. If you figure out a way to do what you want, please share it so that others may benefit.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
yeah, that's understandable. i wonder if you can answer this: the relevant code here is under HTS-JDK. It wouldnt be hard to submit a pull request to improve the situation (maybe genotype filters use a JEXLMap more like site filters). is this worth my time? will gatk4 use a similar or a completely different codepath?
I can't judge whether it would be worth your time because I don't know how much this capability is worth to you, but I can reassure you that GATK4 will continue to use htsjdk and use the same codepaths to enable JEXL queries for the foreseeable future. And if you do submit this with an example of how it can be leveraged from GATK, we will support your pull request (sometimes things get lost in htsjdk).
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
I have a question for you. I have a multi-sample vcf. I'd like to apply a filter where a variant PASS if at least one sample in that position has AD/DP > 0.2
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks for your help and your great job!
One slightly awkward workaround might be to do something like:
1) in the first pass apply a genotype filter. this could work with the caveat that I'm not sure you can get AD (see my above post)
2) use setFilteredGenotypeToNoCall (or whatever the parameter is called)
3) in pass 2, apply a site filter based on # samples called, # not-called, etc.
Or as a one off, I think you could use a JEXL expression that hard codes all your samples names and strings together a big OR expression:
-select 'vc.getGenotype("Sample1").getAD().0 / vc.getGenotype("Sample1").getDP() > 0.2 || vc.getGenotype("Sample2").getAD().0 / vc.getGenotype("Sample2").getDP() > 0.2 ... etc. '
I didnt check my JEXL syntax on the above, so it probably needs to be touched up. Hopefully the general idea makes sense.
thank you for your tip, but it doesn't work... Using that JEXL expression, all my sites results as FILTER and I have problems with homo GT field like 1/1 or 2/2. Just to be clear, I'd like to tag a site in my vcf as PASS if at least one sample has AD/DP > 0.2 for a variant, otherwise, FILTER.
Any other suggestions?
Matteo - sorry, that expression was just typed into the browser, not tested in any way. a couple guesses:
1) if you want the first alternate allele, should it be AD.1, not .0?
2) you might want to include checks like isHet or isNoCall. A homozygous ref animal will only have one value for AD, i think.
3) could you rewrite your ratio to be based off the reference depth? every genotype should have a value for AD.0.
4) I think JEXL is pretty tolerant to null values (for example, asking for AD.1 on a homozygote), but I am not all that familiar with how these are handled. I'd just be careful. In my experience GATK is pretty verbose about logging issues w/ JEXL filters.
good luck.
here's the PR for the change to improve genotype filtering. this should allow proper filtering on AD and other genotype-level attributes:
Got it, thanks @bbimber.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
BTW - you asked for an example. The key differences are:
1) you can access the genotype object in genotype filters:
-G_filter "isHet && g.hasAd() && g.getAD().1 < 5"
in my opinion, this is much more useful than the above example for site filters that hard-codes specific sampleIDs. When you want to ask question like 'filter sites where X% of genotypes have Y', you could do one pass where you perform genotype filters and setFilteredGtToNoCall. after this, do a site filter on N_CALLED.
2) It fixes when I think was a bug in the original implementation, which should have omitted AD + PL from the JEXL map. This is because they were not included in Genotype.getExtendedAttributes().
I agree that makes a lot of sense.
I would recommend include this example explicitly in your pull request thread as it will help convince the gatekeepers of htsjdk that this is worthwhile, in case they don't look up this thread.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
FYI : there is now a javascript-based engine in picard FilterVcf . It's, IMHO, much more powerful than JEXL . See :
for an example.
@lindenb Ah I saw that go through into htsjdk but must have missed the Picard FilterVcf update. That does look very powerful (thanks for contributing that!) but I do think we should take in @bbimber's PR to shore up our JEXL offering in GATK, as for reasonably simple queries the usage is more straightforward compared to writing javascript.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
Hello - the PR to HTSJDK was accepted, which should allow much better genotype filtering using GATK. My question is: how frequently does GATK update the HTSJDK version it uses? If I read github correctly, GATK is currently pegged to htsjdk version 1.141. These changes are in 2.2.2. Am I reading this wrong? Thanks in advance.
That's correct. We typically update htsjdk when we cut a new release, which nowadays is about 3 times a year -- so you're in luck because the next release, GATK 3.6 is slated for mid-May. In fact there's a PR that just went in for updating htsjdk to 2.2.2 so it should be available in the nightly builds within a few days. Assuming all tests pass.
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
good news, thanks.
Just thought I'd request a simple demo to filter out homopolymers.
There is an annotation call HomopolymerRun that you can use.
I am getting the following error message:
java -jar -Xmx16g /home/remington/GenomeAnalysisTK-3.7/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T SelectVariants -R lyrata_genome.fa -V 2ms01e.pHASER01.vcf -sn 2ms01e -o 2ms01e_only.pHASER01.vcf
It used to work perfectly. One of the error suggests it might be a bug, so reporting.
Can you please submit a bug report so I can test this locally? Instructions are here.
I am wondering whether -select parameter for SelectVariants can be used to filter variants based on the variables in the FILTER field. Something like -select "FILTER == 'PASS' && FILTER == 'foo' && FILTER == 'bar'". Tested on the latest version of the suite, but does not work. Any suggestions?
I think the best thing to do is use
--setFilteredGtToNocall, then use either
--minFilteredGenotypes or
I use JEXL in "-select" to run SelectVariants.
vc.getGenotype("SAMPLE").getAD().1 > 100 and
vc.getGenotype("SAMPLE").getDP() > 2000 work fine. But
vc.getGenotype("SAMPLE").getAD().1 / vc.getGenotype("SAMPLE").getDP() > 0.01 never works and always outputs a vcf only containing the vcf headers and column headers. I am very sure some variants should be selected by above expression. I am using GATK3.7. Any possible reason for this ? Your help is much appreciated.
Hi Frank,
It looks like SelectVariants with that command will not work on sites that have missing DP or DP=0. The best thing to do is remove all sites that have missing DP or DP=0, then try running the command again.
Let us know if that works.
Hi Sheila,
I checked sample format field, found no missing DP and all DP values are non-zero. BTW, the input variant vcf was generated by running GATK
Hi Frank
Hmm. How many sites are you running on? Can you post some records that you think should be selected but are not?
Sorry Sheila. I was distracted by some other tasks. Here are two examples that should be selected but not:

Hi Frank,
Can you try running your SelectVariants command on just those sites with
-L? I may need you to submit a bug report.

Try not to stress over stretch marks, because there is nothing you can do to prevent them. Either you'll get them or you won't, and the decision-making factor has more to do with genetics than any fancy creams or balms you slather over your expanding body. Case in point: I gained 41 pounds during pregnancy and didn't get them — despite the fact that my boobs alone went from a 36B to a 38E. Turns out my mom didn't get them either. But rest assured I did have other body-altering repercussions, and to that I simply had to say, that's life. However, itching that accompanies stretching skin is a symptom you can do something about. Specifically:
Grease up
Keep the skin moisturized as best you can. Go for unscented stuff; it's less likely to irritate.
Take colloidal oatmeal baths
Colloidal oatmeal is extremely fine ground whole oats, which is known to relieve itches and soothe skin. You can make your own if you grind the heck out of oats with a coffee grinder (essentially to powder form) and drop a couple of cups worth into a warm bath. But you can just as easily buy Aveeno Oatmeal Bath from your local drugstore. For optimum relief, make sure the bath is warm, not hot, and gently pat yourself dry afterwards.
Avoid hot showers
Yes, they're great, but they can dry out your skin, which may contribute to overall itchiness.
Wear comfy clothing
Loose-fitting cotton gear tends to work best.

leeds photography
About time I did some tests on my cameras. You should always know what is achievable and what works the best! I use a couple of cameras for video work and another couple for stills....
Working in his digital media company afp images Leeds, Adrian Forrest has been an advertising and commercial photographer in Leeds, West Yorkshire for many years now, and has diversified to become one of the leading video production companies in West Yorkshire, Leeds.
As soon as the technology went digital, afp Images spread its wings. We threw ourselves into the digital world and have adapted to ever-changing technology so that we can serve our clients better by letting them hire photography studios in Leeds, for their campaigns.
We work for companies who wish to promote their products and services, and we do it according to the specifications laid down by the client.
Our infrastructure allows us to stand proudly among the top video production and photography companies in the UK. We possess a well-equipped photo and video studio in Leeds. By well-equipped, we mean that the studio has everything that it takes to execute a commercial photography campaign or run DSLR photography courses.
I have worked with Adrian and his company now for over 10 years. And they have helped me create an online company gallery website of all the work that afp images has done. They do everything for us – shoot amazing shots in the hospital, shoot our consultants for websites and publications, and then uploads and maintains the website – And this website is used to generate downloadable images all over the country by all kinds of media and PR users. Oh, and he has done some brilliant videos for us!
Thanks Adrian and the team.
With Adrian's help my online sales have rocketed, and I put that down to afp image's producing fantastic quality digital images of my products which allows my customers to see all the details. We now enjoy a monthly coffee session followed by a day's hard graft to get more images for my websites. And on top of all the amazing photography done for my company, Adrian went out on a limb and created a company web video to prove that it would bring in more customers! He won, it did. See it on my website www.thehistorybunker.co.uk My customers are eagerly waiting for take 2, THB the final battle!

David Talbot discusses his book "The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government"
The second interview of David Talbot on Democracy Now.
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman. Our guest is David Talbot. His book is The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government. He's the founder and former CEO and editor-in-chief of Salon. Let's start with the title, The Devil's Chessboard. Why did you call it that, David?
DAVID TALBOT:The Devil's Chessboard refers to the fact that the Dulles brothers—John Foster Dulles, who's secretary of state under Eisenhower, and his brother, Allen Dulles, who I focus on, head of the CIA—they loved to play chess with each other. They would go at it for hours, even when Allen Dulles was about to be married. He kept his wife-to-be waiting around while the two brothers went at it. And they tended to look at the world as their chessboard. People were pawns to be manipulated. So I felt that was a—you know, an apt metaphor.
But, Amy, I wanted to go back to what you were talking about—alternative media—before this. I think—I just want to underline what you were saying about how essential it is to have countervoices. They are the lifeblood of democracy. And shows like yours and public radio are just essential. You know, my book is having a hard time getting through the media gatekeepers. They don't want to hear about this, and in part because the CIA, particularly under Allen Dulles, but even today, are masters at manipulating the media. I've been on shows and been bumped. I was scheduled to be on shows at the last minute, strangely. I was supposed to write something for Politico magazine. Someone there called the book a "masterpiece." They wanted the book to be, you know, showcased there. Instead, I was bumped from Politico. And an article based on recently leaked CIA documents—conveniently leaked—was written by a former New York Timesreporter, Phil Shenon, and what he did was to basically accuse Fidel Castro of assassinating President Kennedy. This has been a CIA disinformation line for years. So the CIA is still manipulating the media, and it's essential that independent media exists, like this. […]

A 36-year veteran of America's Intelligence Community, William Binney resigned from his position as Director for Global Communications Intelligence (COMINT) at the National Security Agency (NSA) and blew the whistle, after discovering that his efforts to protect the privacy and security of Americans were being undermined by those above him in the chain of command.
The NSA data-monitoring program which Binney and his team had developed — codenamed ThinThread — was being aimed not at foreign targets as intended, but at Americans (codenamed as Stellar Wind), was destroying privacy here and around the world. Binney voices his call to action for the billions of individuals whose rights are currently being violated.
William Binney speaks out in this feature-length interview with Tragedy and Hope's Richard Grove, focused on the topic of the ever-growing Surveillance State in America.

A Sea of Sorrows: The Typhus Epidemic Diary of Johanna Leary, Canada East, 1847 by Norah McClintock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dear Canada series
Absolutely one of the BEST books in this series. It was surprising for me to find that McClintock, famous for her YA mysteries and thrillers, was the author. This is her first historical fiction and her reason and connection to the genre is explained in the author's note; I certainly hope she offers us more. This is a story of the Irish Potato Famine from boarding the ship until one year later in Canada. The book takes place first on the ship then in Montreal and finally ends in Sherbrooke. The book concentrates on the devastating hardships the Irish faced during this time when they turned to Canada for a new life and instead found disease, death and profound prejudice. Johanna tells her story as she struggles with losing her family, working as a servant and being called lazy, filth to her face. The book is suited for the upper age range of this series as it is powerful and deals heavily with death, of children, over and over. Irish literature is often known for its moroseness and McClintock has followed suit with this story. The ending makes the tough going worth the read though. A well-written, emotional period piece.

I've been blogging since 2007 and at this point (July 2015) am trying my hand at turning the theme of this blog towards mystery, thriller, and crime, fiction and nonfiction. I have some special interest topics and categories within this broad genre which include (but are not limited to) serial killers, scandi-crime, Victorian history and historicals, history of the criminally insane and asylums, psychopathology, death, funerary practices and burial, corpses, true crime and anything dealing with the real life macabre, or that portrayed in fiction.
I also read a short story a day from various collections, sometimes anthologies othertimes collections of a single author's work. These reviews are also posted here and while they are of mixed genre the mystery, thriller, horror, gothic and macabre often appear within their pages as well.
I also blog about graphic novels and manga on a separate BLOG.

Conference 2014 was a very special event for the FSB. We celebrated our 40th anniversary at Manchester Central with a packed business program, seminars throughout both days, social events on Friday and Saturday evening and keynote speakers.
Conference opened with a celebrating the first 40 years of the FSB, followed by FSB National Chairman, John Allan, delivering his opening address. The National Chairman gave a stirring opening address to the conference by saying "we are united and professional - and together we are at our strongest." Mr Allan spoke with pride about his first 12 months as chairman and reminded members of the great strides that have been made in making sure the voice of small businesses is heard and listened to by the powers-that-be at every level.
The FSB National Chairman John Allan took to the stage with four young entrepreneurs to formally launch FSB Next Generation. Mr Allan introduced four FSB members who were heavily involved with Next Gen, Kate Hayes, Alyssa Smith, Ben Towers and Anisha Hanrod and highlighted their outstanding achievements in business. John Allan asserted, "Next Generation is mission critical for the future of the FSB." Kate gave a call to action to FSB members to support young business owners through the Next Generation programme, by sharing their experiences of running a business with young people and providing valuable input into the development of the Next Generation programme. Kate said, "We really need the help of FSB members. Remember, you all started out as self-employed people and we would really love your input."
Naga Munchety welcomed the panel to the stage. The prestigious participants were led by Mike Cherry, the FSB's National Policy Chairman. Mike was joined by Simon Danczuk MP, Councillor Sue Derbyshire, the leader of Stockport Council and John Ashcroft, Chief Executive of Pro-Manchester and the Chief Economist for the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. Issues raised during question time included encouraging small businesses to work with schools on career guidance, whether the panel believed that a free period of parking on double yellow or single yellow lines should be introduced, further pension reform bills , the panel's view on Local Enterprise Partnerships and how far and by what means should small businesses try to influence the matter, a more friendly procurement processes, and late payment. Mike Cherry welcomed the announcement by Ofgem of an investigation into the energy industry, and there was also discussion about the costs of auto enrolment versus the costs of recruiting.

text: I've had a 10 gallon stocked with 5 black skirt tetras for well over 8 months now. 2 of those tetras have been in the established tank for 16+ months. Over the past two months I have noticed that the tetras all hide a lot under the decorative plants and petrified wood setup. I first thought it was due to the lighting because I didn't have a regular schedule setup for having the lights on - they usually hide when lights are on. But, lately it seems they hide all of the time and I hardly notice any activity from all 5 except during feeding time. I feed just standard flakes once a day and have been doing 50% water changes once a week. The water changes used to make them a little more active for that first day or two, but the last one didn't seem to make a difference. Last time I had all of my water parameters everything checked out ok and the pH was 7.6. Few questions.... I did a few searches and found some mixed results. I will try the water change but it doesn't seem to be a perma solution. Could it be parasite related? Could it be that the standard 10 gallon filter that came with the tank (Whisper) is just weak? Thanks in advance.

Hahaha….wow, clever interpretation of that moment 🙂 I really like this photo, even though it's a bit of a downer. I like the muted colors and the composition of it. It just works, somehow. And it has a surreal, almost creepy dreamlike/twilight zone feel to it, which is how I imagine his music sounded. I like it a lot.

"Lady of Spain, I adooooore yooooou!"
Soon afterward he gave up the accordion and went on to star in Revenge of the Nerds.
Is that a window or a picture of a window?
Is that a lamp or is drawn on the wallpaper?
Was he playing or just posing?
They could have left out the accordion suitcase in the foreground.
This photo though not that awkward is not uplifting.

Uh oh. Looks like Bob "Hamburgler" Lutz has doffed his corporate-communications tracking device again and grabbed for the megaphone. Lately, on his Fastlane Blog, Lutz mouthed off on how Japanese automakers might loophole through proposed tougher CAFE standards. He said that increasing such standards by four percent per year would pack and ship the truck and SUV market to Japanese manufacturers, who, he says, "have earned years of accumulated credits from their fleets of formerly very small cars." Trouble is, as Farago points out from his TTAC soapbox, that's about as correct as an arithmetic problem summing to monkeybrains. Farago, of course, has some opinions on why The General's generals would let Lutz rule. Here's a hint, it has nothing to do with sliders.

The big news: Chris Jericho is back and nothing else matters. The savior of WWE is here to liven the show up one more time, and it looks like he's heading into a feud with Bray Wyatt.
Really, is there any better recipe for success in modern WWE than Jericho vs. Wyatt? After his last run in WWE didn't exactly sizzle, this is the perfect place for Jericho. A promising young talent that can work, who will also greatly benefit from being in the ring with the veteran. If they can carry this feud out until "Summerslam," it should be something incredibly special.
Truthfully, this was a fantastic episode of "WWE Raw." They followed up Cena's title win strongly, with The Authority putting their faith into Randy Orton and Seth Rollins, while not tearing the champion down. They set a Fatal 4-Way main event of Cena vs. Orton vs. Roman Reigns vs. Kane for "Battleground," and booked the four men into a main event tag team bout that delivered.
The other surprise of the night was the return of AJ Lee, fresh off her marriage to CM Punk. She appeared simply to goad Paige into a title rematch, which she promptly won and became champion once again.
While AJ being back was great, this feels like a short-sighted idea. Paige has been progressing greatly as the champion and now it just feels like she was brought up to fill in for AJ while she went on vacation.
Odds and ends:
- Bad News Barrett has been stripped of the Intercontinental Championship due to injury.
- John Cena was named the cover star for "WWE 2K15."
- Jack Swagger and Rusev seemed destined to feud. For the good of America.
- The Miz also returned, which felt like a minor happening overall.
- Damien Sandow was Vince McMahon tonight.
- Seth Rollins beat Rob Van Dam
- The Wyatt Family beat Sheamus and The Usos
- Cameron and Naomi beat Nikki Bella
- Kofi Kingston beat Cesaro
- The Great Khali beat Damien Sandow
- Dolph Ziggler beat Fandango
- Goldust and Stardust beat RybAxel
- AJ Lee beat Paige for the Divas Championship
- John Cena and Roman Reigns beat Kane and Randy Orton by DQ

Inquiry Question

A man who was left languishing in solitary confinement for two years after he was arrested for drink driving has won a $15.5m (£10.4m) payout after suing the prison in New Mexico.
Stephen Slevin, 59, was pulled over by police in 2005 and taken to the Dona Ana Detention Centre. He was never tried or convicted, but ended up in solitary confinement after being classed as suicidal.
For the next 22 months, he was consigned to a segregation cell with prison officials neglecting to provide medical help, to the point where he says he was forced to pull out his own tooth because of untreated dental problems.
He was often refused permission to take a shower, and did not always get the daily one-hour break outside the cell mandated by law for prisoners in solitary confinement. He said his toenails grew so long that they curled around his foot.
The result was that by the time he left the jail, Slevin, who entered prison with short hair and a light stubble, had long, unkempt locks and an overgrown white beard.
Earlier this year, a lower court jury awarded him $22m in his case against local authorities in Dona Ana County. But officials, who argued that Slevin was offered the chance to enter the general jail population but declined, appealed against the verdict and an appellate judge ordered both parties to enter mediation talks.
Slevin, who reportedly suffers from lung cancer, has now accepted $15.5m as compensation for his ordeal. The settlement is one of the largest prisoner civil liberty awards in US history.
"This settlement, although very large, does not give back to Mr Slevin what was taken from him," his lawyer, Matthew Coyte, told the Associated Press.

Has anyone tried purchasing the weather proof labels (Avery 5520)? You have
to use a laser printer (not an inkjet printer). They have to be special
ordered from an office supply store. It is a little pricey but you get 1500
labels per box. This is the first year that I have used them so I can't
personally vouch for the durability. However, the club has been using them for
years. Their caveat is that you have to thoroughly clean the area to which they
are being applied.
I am curious how long they will last.
