We present a pipeline, SVMerge, to detect structural variants by integrating calls from several existing structural variant callers, which are then validated and the breakpoints refined using local de novo assembly. SVMerge is modular and extensible, allowing new callers to be incorporated as they become available. We applied SVMerge to the analysis of a HapMap trio, demonstrating enhanced structural variant detection, breakpoint refinement, and a lower false discovery rate. SVMerge can be downloaded from http://svmerge.sourceforge.net.
Next-generation sequencing technologies promise a revolution in our ability to understand the architecture of the human genome, and to decipher how this architecture contributes to disease [1]. This understanding is dependent on our ability to accurately detect differences between individuals on a genome-wide scale. Although nucleotide level variants such as SNPs and insertions/deletions (indels) are numerous, large structural variants, such as deletions, duplications and inversions, affect more sequence, and as much as 15% of the human genome falls into copy number variable regions [1]. Many of the software packages currently available to detect structural variants (SVs) employ algorithms that utilize data derived from the mapping of paired-end sequence reads, using anomalously mapped read pairs as a means for detecting and cataloguing these variants. Deletions, for example, are detected when the distance between mapped paired-end reads is significantly smaller than the average size distribution of other mapped read pairs from the same mate-pair sequencing library. Similarly, inversions may be identified when read pairs are mapped to the same strand of the reference genome. Examples of software using this approach include BreakDancer [2] and VariationHunter [3]. Other software packages such as Pindel [4] apply a split-mapping approach where one end of a pair of sequence reads is mapped uniquely to the genome and acts as an anchor, while the other end is mapped so as to detect the SV breakpoint. A third approach used to detect SVs involves ascertaining changes in read depth coverage, which reflect gains and losses in sequence copy number. Calling variants in this way will report regions of the reference genome that appear to be duplicated or deleted. This analysis, however, will not report the precise location of the duplicated sequence. Several algorithms have been developed for calling copy number variants in this way, including cnD, which applies a hidden Markov model to detect copy number variants [5], and RDXplorer, which uses a novel algorithm based on significance testing [6].
The location of large insertions can also be identified from mapping of paired-end sequence reads, where one end read is mapped to the reference sequence and the other end is either unmapped (for example, a novel sequence insertion), or mapped to another copy of the particular repeat element present in the reference (for example, insertion of a repetitive element, such as LINEs). We have developed two in-house tools, SECluster and RetroSeq[7], to detect these insertion events (see Materials and methods).
Independently, each of these approaches has limitations in terms of the type and size of SVs that they are able to detect, and no single SV caller is able to detect the full range of structural variants. The approach of utilizing paired-end mapping information, for example, cannot detect SVs where the read pairs do not flank the SV breakpoints, which can occur due to sequence features such as SNPs near the SV breakpoint, or where the number of supporting read pairs is low. Furthermore, the size of insertions that can be identified by paired-end analysis is limited by the library insert size. Insertion calls made using the split-mapping approach are also size-limited because the whole insertion breakpoint must be contained within a read. Read-depth approaches can identify copy number changes without the need for read-pair support, but cannot find copy number neutral events such as inversions, and read depth alone cannot be used to indicate the exact location of the duplicated sequence. For these reasons we developed SVMerge, a meta SV calling pipeline, which makes SV predictions with a collection of SV callers that are then merged, and computationally validated using local de novo assembly to gain a more comprehensive picture of the structural variants found within a genome. We show that SVMerge generates a more complete set of SV calls (>100 bp) compared to any single method alone, and provides refined SV breakpoints for downstream analysis. We have designed SVMerge to be both modular and extensible so that new SV calling methods may be incorporated into the analysis pipeline. Here we describe the main components of the pipeline, and results obtained from the analysis of three genomes from a HapMap trio sequenced using the Illumina platform. SVMerge is written in Perl and is freely available from [8].
The SVMerge pipeline
Each dataset to be analyzed is set up as a new project, and specific subdirectories are created to aid in the management of the data through each step of the pipeline. All configurable parameters, discussed below, are specified in a single configuration file that is used by SVMerge at each step of analysis as the pipeline is deployed. For each dataset to be analyzed, the user must supply either a single standard Binary Alignment/Map (BAM) formatted file with the reads aligned to a reference genome, or a set of BAMs consisting of one BAM per chromosome [12].

Following filtering and merging of SV calls, computational validation is performed using local de novo assembly of reads at predicted SV breakpoints, and comparison of the resulting contigs back to the reference genome. This serves to reduce the number of false positive SV calls, as well as aid in the refinement of SV breakpoints. This validation uses reads from the original BAM file mapped proximally to the predicted SV breakpoints. Because the accuracy of the SV boundaries in the raw, merged SV call set is dependent on which software is applied and the quality of the read mappings, the local assemblies are performed using SV boundaries that extend by at least 1 kb on either side (see Materials and methods). To simplify the process of potentially performing thousands of assemblies, SVMerge automatically generates configuration files, which specify all of the required parameters for the local assemblies and subsequent contig alignment steps. Currently, the assemblers supported by the pipeline are ABySS [13] and Velvet [14], but other assemblers can be incorporated by the user. ABySS and Velvet both provide an option to utilize scaffolding to join adjacent, non-overlapping contigs, which may be particularly useful when the reads used for a local assembly flank, but do not overlap, an SV breakpoint. Contigs generated from the local assembly step can be aligned to a reference chromosome, or to the slice of the reference to which the reads were mapped. The alignment tool used for this step of the pipeline is Exonerate, as the parameters of this mapper are easily configurable and the output format can be customized [15].

Current SV callers do not attempt to call complex SVs, where more than one event appears to have taken place at a single locus. Local assembly analysis may reveal that a particular region is, in fact, complex, with more than one type of SV. SVMerge attempts to detect complex SVs, such as inversions that have occurred with a deletion or insertion, or a deletion that also contains an insertion at or near to the breakpoint. The final SV call set consists of deletions and copy number gains supported by read depth analysis, and complex SVs, deletions, insertions and inversions supported by local assembly analysis.
Application of SVMerge to a HapMap trio dataset
We demonstrate the application of SVMerge to a dataset consisting of a high-depth HapMap trio (NA18506, NA18507, NA18508), which was sequenced on the Illumina platform [16]. The sequence data for these individuals were downloaded from the Sequence Read Archive (accession numbers [SRA009347], [SRA009225], [SRA000271]) and aligned to the GRCh37 human reference using BWA v0.5.5 [17] with default parameters. Sequence coverage depths for each genome were determined to be 42 ×, 42 × and 40 × for NA18506, NA18507, and NA18508, respectively. A single BAM file for each individual was produced for SV analysis (see Materials and methods).

Merged raw
SVMerge final
The 'merged raw' SV calls, excluding copy number gains and deletions without supporting read pairs or split-reads, were subjected to computational validation by local assembly. The 'final' calls for the child (NA18506) are shown in Table 3. Similar results were obtained for the parents (Additional file 1). The final call set contains all copy number gain calls and deletion calls unique to RDXplorer, insertions and inversions with evidence of breakpoints from local assembly analysis, and deletions with either supporting evidence from local assembly analysis or read-depth analysis (see Materials and methods). A number of complex SVs (for example, inversions with internal deletions) were also identified. Local assembly analysis was able to provide refined coordinates for approximately 60% of deletions in the 'final' call set. For the remaining deletions, where breakpoint refinement failed but read-depth analysis provided evidence of low or no read coverage, the original breakpoint coordinates from the 'merged raw' call set were used in the 'final' call set. Only 11% of insertions in the 'merged raw' call set were validated by local assembly and included in the 'final' call set, reflecting both the difficulty in detecting true insertions, as well as the difficulty validating these calls by local assembly.

Shared SV calls
Total SVs
To evaluate the final SV call set from SVMerge for the HapMap trio, we compared the overlap of the deletion, gain, and inversion calls against the curated Database of Genomic Variants (DGV; March 2010 release) [18]. SVMerge calls overlapped with calls in DGV at a rate significantly higher than expected by random chance (P < 0.001; Additional file 2). Of the deletion calls made by SVMerge, 71% (NA18506), 81% (NA18507), and 71% (NA18508) had a minimum 50% reciprocal overlap with regions of known copy number variation in DGV, while 29% (NA18506), 32% (NA18507), and 36% (NA18508) of the copy number gains overlap entries in DGV. The proportion of SVMerge inversion calls overlapping with known inversions in DGV was 47% (NA18506), 69% (NA18507), and 51% (NA18508). We further evaluated the calls in the child that did not overlap DGV calls by determining their presence in either parent's raw SV call set. This accounted for a further 18% of deletions, 32% of inversions, and 54% of duplications in the child to give us estimated maximum false discovery rates of 11%, 21%, and 17% for deletions, inversions, and copy number gains, respectively. Child-only insertions, with coordinates greater than 200 bp from any parental insertion, account for 14.4% of insertion calls. Collectively, all child-only SV calls comprise 11% of the child's final SV call set. This is a considerable improvement from what was observed in the 'merged raw' SV call set, in which 50% of the calls are unique to the child. The majority of these are false insertion calls from read pair analysis, which may be due to an artifact of the library construction; there is a significant tail at the lower end of the library insert size distribution (data not shown), which generates read pairs that align closer than expected based on the mean and standard deviation of the distribution. The maximum false negative rates, which can be estimated by assuming all of the child SV calls are real and comparing them to parental SV calls, are 21% for deletions, 40% for inversions, 23% for duplications, and 25% for insertions. False positive rates for individual structural variant callers and a comparison of confidence scores for child-only calls versus shared calls are provided in Additional files 3 and 4, respectively.
Genomic structural variation is increasingly being recognized as an important source of phenotypic variation [19]. The advent of new sequencing technologies means that it is now possible to create high-resolution maps of these variants; however, the range of SVs detected by individual SV callers is somewhat limited. For this reason, we have developed SVMerge, the first meta SV caller that integrates calls made from multiple sources and validates these calls using local de novo assembly. We illustrate that this approach produces a more comprehensive set of variant calls, compared to calls made by any single caller alone. SVMerge is an extensible pipeline that allows calls from any method to be easily incorporated. As more algorithms and a wider variety of SV callers become available, we expect that our complementary method will be able to produce an even wider spectrum of calls.
A key part of the SVMerge pipeline is the computational validation step, which performs local assembly and breakpoint refinement. Analysis of the HapMap trio has enabled us to demonstrate that this part of the pipeline can significantly reduce the false discovery rate. With simulated data, we show that this step also increases the accuracy of the predicted SV breakpoints compared to those produced by the individual callers (Table 2). However, computational validation of insertions and heterozygous SVs remains challenging. The proportion of computationally validated insertions is notably lower than other SV types. Local assembly of a de novo insertion is hampered by the lack of reads, since the reads provided for assembly are those that map near the breakpoint, or unmapped reads with mates that align near the breakpoint. Heterozygous breakpoint detection and refinement would be improved by advancements in methods such as short read assemblers that can perform diploid assemblies, or the use of assembly graphs to detect breakpoints. In the case of copy number gain and loss calls based only on read depth, local assembly is not a suitable validation strategy. As an alternative strategy, a high-confidence set of copy number gain and loss calls could be derived by applying more than one read-depth-based copy number caller and considering the intersection of calls.
Identifying SVs from short read data has its limitations, in particular with complex SVs where multiple rearrangement events occur at a single locus. SVMerge attempts to identify a subset of complex SVs by interpreting alignments of contigs generated from local assembly. However, these complex SVs are initially identified from read pair analysis only as single SV type. Improvements to SV calling algorithms, which can interpret complex read pair patterns, and the development of new long range sequencing techniques, such as strobe sequencing [20], will enable identification and elucidation of complex SVs that are currently difficult to characterize.
Materials and methods
Sequence data for individuals NA18506, NA18507 and NA18508 were downloaded from the Sequence Read Archive (accession numbers [SRA009347], [SRA009225], [SRA000271]) and aligned to the GRCh37 human genome reference sequence using BWA v0.5.5 [17] with default parameters. After alignment, the quality values were recalibrated using software tools from GATK [21], merged to the library level where duplicates were removed with Picard [22] and then a single BAM file for each individual was produced.
Structural variant callers
BreakDancerMax is included in the BreakDancer software package. The results described here were generated using BreakDancer-0.0.1r89 [23]. Default BreakDancerMax parameters were used, except a minimum mapping quality score of 20 and the minimum thresholds (expressed in standard deviations from the mean) for distance between mate pairs were set to 8, 8, and 7 for NA18506, NA18507, NA18508, respectively. All BreakDancerMax results were further filtered by score and size (100 bp minimum) to remove low confidence calls. Insertions with a score of 35 or less, and deletions with scores 30 or less, were excluded from further analysis. For inversions, the minimum BreakDancerMax score accepted was 30 with supporting reads from at least 3 read pairs, and a minimal size of 100 bp required. Pindel was downloaded from [24]. The insert size parameter was set to 200 bp and calls with scores less than 25 were excluded from further analysis. Deletions and insertions of at least 100 bp in size were considered for further analysis. SECluster, an in-house tool, attempts to locate large insertions by identifying adjacent clusters of forward and reverse-strand reads with unmapped mates. A minimum of five supporting reads mapped to the same strand, with minimal mapping qualities of 20, were required to form a cluster. Insertion signatures were then identified by comparing the outer coordinates of the forward and reverse clusters of reads allowing up to a 100-bp separation or a 50-bp overlap between the clusters. Mobile element insertions were identified using RetroSeq [7], which looks for clusters of reads with one end mapping to the reference and the other mapping to a mobile element in Repbase [25], or clusters of reads with mates mapped to a canonical mobile element on a different chromosome on the reference genome. Alignments to Repbase were performed with SSAHA2 [26] with a minimum of 90% identify and hit length of 36 bp for a match. For read-depth-based copy number calling using RDXplorer, the default Z-score of 5 threshold was used, but we applied a minimum size cutoff of 10 kb. In addition to the above parameters and filtering criteria, calls in all call sets were excluded if they fell within 600 bp of a reference sequence assembly gap, or within 1 Mb of a centromere or telomere. We refer to this resulting filtered set as the 'raw' calls.
Merging of raw calls
The raw call sets were merged by SV type and chromosomal coordinate to generate a non-redundant SV call set. For example, all deletion calls from BreakDancer, Pindel, and RDXplorer were compared; if the coordinate spans from a BreakDancer deletion call and Pindel deletion call overlapped, then the calls were merged. The deletion calls from RDXplorer were then compared to the merged BreakDancer and Pindel set to identify additional deletions not detected by either BreakDancer or Pindel. The rules applied for merging calls are outlined as follows: (1) if the overlap is less than 75 bp and the non-overlapping portion from each call is between 50 and 200 bp, take the outer coordinates of the union of the spans; (2) if the overlap is less than 75 bp and the non-overlapping portion from each call is ≥200 bp, do not merge the spans; (3) otherwise, merge the calls and use the intersect of the spans.
Insertions from BreakDancerMax, RetroSeq, and SECluster were compared and merged by taking the intersection of overlapping spans. Inversions and copy number gains were only called by a single SV caller. The resulting 'merged raw' set consists of deletions, insertion calls, inversions, and copy number gains.

Final call set
For each SV call evaluated by local assembly, contig alignments were computationally parsed to determine if there was supporting evidence for the SV, and to localize the breakpoints of the SV. Because reads that map to the breakpoints of heterozygous deletions are a mixture of reads that match the reference and reads that cross a breakpoint, local assembly may not always generate a breakpoint-containing contig. Therefore, for deletions with supporting read pairs flanking the predicted breakpoints, but no breakpoints found in assembled contigs, the original BAM files were used to check the read depth coverage across the predicted region. The Samtools 'pileup' utility [12] is used to report the depth of coverage and mapping quality of each base in the region. Any base with a root mean square mapping quality less than 30 is considered repetitive. If the majority of bases are not repetitive and the mean depth of coverage across the region is less than 0.85 times the mean depth of coverage across the genome, the predicted deletion is retained in the 'final' call set and the coordinates from the raw, merged set are used. Short read aligners such as Maq [27] and BWA [17] place non-uniquely mapping read pairs randomly at one of all possible sites, meaning reads will be mapped even where LINEs, SINEs or other repetitive elements are absent in the query genome. Therefore, in regions where the root mean square <30 and the depth is lower than 1.2 times the mean depth of coverage across the whole genome, the original deletion call (which was supported by spanning read pairs) is retained in the final call set. The 'SVMerge final' call set, therefore, consists of all SVs with breakpoints verified by local assembly analysis (deletions, inversions, insertions, complex SVs), deletions passing the read depth check, and all copy number gains from RDXplorer that passed initial filtering.
Simulation data set
To evaluate the breakpoint refinement step in SVMerge, we generated deletions, insertions, and inversions on the human reference chromosome 20, and simulated 38-bp paired short reads, with a mean insert size distribution of 220 bp. For each type of SV, 100 homozygous and 100 heterozygous SVs were generated by random selection of location and size, and the exact breakpoints were recorded. Sizes were selected from a size distribution of those found by SVMerge in the NA18506 genome. Insertion sizes were selected from the deletion size distribution. Repeat deletions were randomly selected from a list of RepeatMasker LINE and SINE elements >100 bp on chromosome 20 downloaded from the UCSC genome browser website [10]. SNPs and indels were added at a rate of 1 per 1,000 bp, and read errors were added at rate of 1 per 100 bp. Reads were generated to produce a depth of coverage of 40 ×. Reads were aligned with BWA, as described above in the 'Data' section, and a BAM file was generated. BreakDancerMax and SECluster were run as described above.
SVMerge software availability and requirements
All published software used for SV calling is freely available, and must be installed prior to running SVMerge. SVMerge is written in Perl and is freely available from http://svmerge.sourceforge.net. Additional Perl modules are described in the SVMerge documentation and available from CPAN [28].

Will Web measurement companies ever churn out audience data that can be easily compared? Don't count on it.
Executives from comScore, the Nielsen Co., HitWise, and Omniture at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's MIXX conference said Monday they will continue to fine tune how they collect, track, and analyze Web site visitor data and pointed out differences in their methodologies.
Some said the newest frontier involves tracking crossover media consumption, that is, measuring the extent that people consume traditional media, such as television and then cross over to the Internet.
"The Internet is part of a broader media spend, but growing," said John Mellor, Omniture's senior vice president, business strategy and corporate strategy. "We're trying to understand IP-connected devices, mobile distribution. Cable TV is increasingly digitally connected. It's as measurable as the Internet is."
How will advertisers know where to spend their money?
"Know how the Internet interplays with other media," said Manish Bhatia, Nielsen Online's president of global services and U.S. sales. Then, decide. For example, if consumers are turning to print, such as magazines and newspapers, in addition to the Internet, then they may want to cut TV spending.
To a large extent, each executive at the panel discussion, "Convergent Validity," touted his respective company's offerings.
Magid Abraham, comScore CEO, pointed out how his company uses audience panels to collect "effectiveness" metrics, not soley audience measurements. Dissing audience data collected from servers, he gave this example: If a person goes to a Web site, then deletes the cookies from that visit, she's counted as a first-time visitor when she returns to the Web site, though she's actually a return visitor.
Bhatia said Nielsen has acquired an assortment of companies that generate many Web measurement data points, thus providing opportunities to dig into the information for trends and other insights.
Bill Tancer, HitWise general manager of global research, said his firm provides online competitive intelligence. "If you do nothing but audience measurement, you're doing yourself a disservice," he said, adding that his firm collects demographic and other information that shows where Web site visitors are online, what category of sites they visit, how they are getting there, and what's driving traffic to competitors.
Omniture's Mellor said his company does not deal with audience panels. Instead, the company measures the visits and customer behavior on every single page of its customers' Web sites, he said.
One challenge, participants said, some metrics are more important to some businesses than to others. "Definition of engagement is different to everyone in this room. Retailers boil it down to ROI (return on investment), to media companies it may be a function of page views, time spent on site, or repeat visitors."
Stay tuned: discussion continues Nov. 29 at an IAB audience measurement summit.

Plan B, pretty rocks, and running away from bears
... jumped up and down and hugged each other, then went for a really good meal in a nearby Chinese restaurant, and had some much-needed beer.
After that it was an early night, so we could get up at 4am and climb another rock to see the sunrise over the whole Danxia landscape. It was so worth it! I rushed the climb because I was worried about missing the sun come up, and when we got to the top it was so busy - some people had camped overnight to watch the sunrise, and everyone ...

About JohnnyParker
I am Johnny Parker and I am 22. I have studied the weather since I was 5. I have cerebral palsy and my goal is to become a meteorologist.
By: JohnnyParker , 11:03 AM GMT on October 16, 2013
Good Morning! At Smithville, MS, the current temperature is 67 and it feels like 67. Highs will continue to range between 62 and 76 with lows between 41 and 57. There is a 60% chance of rain today, a 60% chance of AM showers tomorrow, and a 40% chance of showers on Saturday. Rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches are expected with isolated amounts of 3+, and flash flooding being the main threats. At the Regional Rehab Center in Tupelo, MS, the current temperature is 68 and it feels like 68. Todays high is 67 and a low of 56 with a 70% chance of rain. Thursdays high is 72 with a 50% chance of AM showers.
Now, for your severe weather update for the Southeast Region. Could see severe weather potential around October 22nd-31st.
Now, for your tropical update. In the Atlantic, a large area of disturbed weather that extends from the Southeastern Bahamas Northeastward for several hundred miles over the Western Atlantic Ocean is associated with an upper-level trough. An area of low pressure is expected to form Southeast of Bermuda during the next day or so and move Northward and Northeastward near or along a frontal boundary over the West-Central Atlantic. Environmental conditions are expected to be only marginally favorable for tropical cyclone formation. The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a low chance, 10%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours, and a low chance, 10%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days. In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Depression Priscilla should dissipate within the next day or two. Winds are at 35mph with a pressure of 1006mbars. Movement is West-Northwest at 7mph. Is not a threat to any landmasses.
Hope yall are having a great Wednesday and I'll have another post tomorrow morning.

text: Of Course the Magic Mike Sequel Will Be Called Magic Mike XXLIsha Aran3/30/14 2:30pmFiled to: Magic MikeChanning TatumSequelXXL595EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Well lads and gentlewomen, the time has come. Details of the Magic Mike sequel have unofficially surfaced and there's some major news according to Indiewire. First off, VICTORY: Channing Tatum will definitely return to franchise. (Well it's a franchise now, isn't it? Fingers crossed, it will soon be complete with limited edition figurines, paperback expansions, and official installable pole-dancing poles for the gents. Maybe even a board game…more like a washboard game. Like washboard abs. Okay I'm done.) Also, Greg Jacobs will take Steven Soderbergh's place as director, which is pretty fitting as Jacobs has been Soderbergh's first assistant director for a crapload of his movies. Advertisement Advertisement But most exciting of all, the film will be entitled Magic Mike XXL. It's pretty perfect, although the cheesy alliteration fanatic in me was sort of hoping they'd go for Magic Mike: Magnum. Welp, filming won't start until fall, so they have time to come to their senses. You're welcome Warner Bros. Image via AP.Reply59 repliesLeave a reply

USC quarterback Max Wittek might be short on experience, but he seems to be long on confidence.
Even though Saturday's game against No. 1 Notre Dame will be Wittek's first start and first extensive playing time, Wittek has no doubt he can handle the challenge.
"We haven't got the full game plan yet, but from what I can tell, we're going to play our offense, whatever coach [Lane] Kiffin feels comfortable giving me," Wittek told ESPN Radio in Los Angeles. "If he wants to air it out, let's air it out. If he wants to pound it on the ground, let's do that. Like I said, I'm going to go out there, I'm going to play within myself, within the system, and we're going to win this ballgame."
Look at Wittek, throwing down guarantees like an old pro.
Wittek steps in for former starter Matt Barkley, who suffered a shoulder injury late against UCLA last week. Wittek has played in spot time and has completed 8 of 9 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown. Three of those completions came late in that UCLA game.
[Related: Is the SI cover curse coming for Notre Dame?]
But Notre Dame will be a far greater challenge than even Barkley has faced this season. The Irish are first in scoring defense and 11th against the pass. Linebacker Manti Te'o has a school-record six interceptions this season. Plus, Notre Dame needs this win to assure itself a spot in the BCS National Championship.
But, who knows? A USC win would fall right in line with the craziness of the season so far.

Pymake doesn't print anything, though, instead calling log.info. I think it makes sense to have info behave the same as GNU make's info, i.e. as a generic print command.

(Sept. 26, 2011) On September 20, 2011, the European Commission adopted a communication that establishes the new legislative authority of the Commission, granted by the 2009 Lisbon Treaty, to introduce directives regulating what are called Euro-crimes, including fraud, terrorism, and other crimes. This communication is the first step in the Commission's efforts to explore options and measures to ensure effective implementation of European Union policies by means of criminal law. (Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions: Towards an EU Criminal Policy: Ensuring the Effective Implementation of EU Policies Through Criminal Law [hereinafter Communication], COM(2011) 573 final (Sept. 20, 2011); Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, art. 83, 2010 OFFICAL JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (C 83 ) 47 (Mar. 30, 2010).)
Traditionally, criminal law is a field that belongs to the domain of the individual EU Members. However, article 83 of the Lisbon Treaty of 2009 provided competence to the Commission to initiate proposals in the area of criminal procedure and substantive criminal law. Thus, the Commission has the power to adopt directives that establish minimum rules concerning the definitions of and sanctions for ten offenses. These offenses are: terrorism, trafficking in human beings, sexual exploitation of women and children, illicit drug trafficking, illicit arms trafficking, money laundering, corruption, counterfeiting of means of payment, computer crime, and organized crime. (Lisbon Treaty, supra.)
The Lisbon Treaty provides that draft directives on the above offenses must follow the usual legislative procedure, which involves the European Parliament, the Council of the EU, and full judicial review by the European Court of Justice. If a draft directive affects the fundamental criminal system of an EU Member, that Member has the right to suspend the legislative procedure and refer the matter to the European Council for further review. (Id.)
It is anticipated that the Commission's competence to harmonize minimum standards for the above offenses will result in a number of positive outcomes, such as enhancing European citizens' trust and confidence in the judicial systems of EU Members; satisfying citizens' demands for EU action to combat serious crime; ensuring that criminals will not seek refuge in a Member State in which the criminal system provides more lenient punishment than where the crime was committed; and ensuring the effective implementation of EU policies on environmental protection, road transport safety, fisheries regulation, protection of the EU's financial interests, financial sector, data protection and others. (Communication, supra.)

Im tired of givin my heart to ones who just dont deserve it,
I can only be one person and there aint no pushin or changin me,
I want a casual thing to see where tha hell it goes,
Dont wanna meet no parents relatives or anyone really close,
Dont wanna think I have a chance to get it taken away from me,
I'm tired of bein lied to and Im sick of tha games,
If you want a rich sugar daddy pass me and go away,
I am 30 and retired so whats tha point of bein ashamed of me?
I don't have swag or game I just shoot it straight,
I may not have a car now but I have my own place

There was an apparent kerfuffle over a missing phone this past week at Hollywood's Bootsy Bellows nightclub.
US Weekly reports that several stars were out for a birthday party when actress Jaime Pressly's assistant's phone went missing, which led to a confrontation with model/actress Estella Warren.
An insider says there was no physical brawl, but that Pressly was forceful in trying to get her assistant's phone back from Warren, who insisted the phone was hers. When Pressly and the assistant discovered the assistant's purse and phone had gone missing from the party's original location (a home in Los Angeles), they used the "find my phone" app to track the phone to Bootsy Bellows.
"Jaime was trying to get the phone back. She wasn't aggressive, but she was forceful," says the source.
Warren maintained the phone was hers and police were eventually called when drugs were allegedly discovered in Warren's purse.
"Jaime and her assistant were volunteering for a drug test. They said the drugs weren't theirs. It was this crazy mess," says the eyewitness.
The West Hollywood Sheriff's Department says they responded two calls from Bootsy Bellows on April 5 — a theft and a stolen vehicle. No other details are available at this time, but the investigation is ongoing.

"Styllish place in center of Barcelona"
Lovely and cozy place, equiped with modern and new appliances. Located very centrally, metro only at 2 mins walk. Very friendly owner, who was present during check-in. Nice bars & restaurants close-by (also for breakfast)... Wonderful place to explore Barcelona from. Annick & family
Thank you very much for your review I really appreciate it a lot!
Confortable, ubicación inmejorable, estilo de decoración moderna y acogedora, transporte público muy cercano, volvería sin duda.
Muchas muchaaaaasssss gracias! Estoy tan feliz. Saludos de Barcelona
"Tolles, neu eingerichtetes Apartment in ruhiger, aber trotzdem zentraler Lage!!!"
Da wir früh anreisten, war das Apartment noch belegt, aber Frank hat uns in einem Cafe in der Nähe in Empfang genommen und wir konnten unsere Koffer schon mal im Apartment abstellen, so dass wir unseren ersten Tag schon zur Erkundung Barcelonas nutzen konnten und unser Gepäck gut aufgehoben wussten. Die Buchung war unkompliziert und auch die Kontaktaufnahme und die detaillierten Absprachen kurz vor unserer Anreise klappten reibungslos. Das Apartment ist super ausgestattet (vollausgestattete Küche mit Geschirrspüler, Wasserkocher, Toaster, usw., 2 Bäder, Fön, 2 Fernseher, WLAN und vieles mehr). Das einzige, das wir vermisst haben, war ein großer Schrank. Das lag aber an uns, da wir mit Kleinkind reisten und deshalb relativ viel mitschleppen mussten. Unser Rückflug sollte eigentlich um 11 Uhr starten, deshalb hatten wir vereinbart um 8:30 Uhr abzureisen. Am Abend vorher stellte sich raus, dass wir erst um 14 Uhr abfliegen werden. Ein Anruf bei Frank genügte und wir konnten bis 12 Uhr bleiben. Das Taxi für die Fahrt zum Flughafen hat Frank uns dann noch auch besorgt. Wir können Frank und sein Apartment wämstens weiterempfehlen!!! Lieber Frank, vielen Dank für - die unkomplizierte Buchung und den tollen Kontakt von der Buchung bis zur Abreise - den lieben (und frühen) Empfang - die Hintergrundinfos über Spanien und Barcelona - die kurzfristige Änderung unserer Abreisezeit - das Organisieren des Taxis - das tolle (und blitzschnell saubere ;-) Apartment Sollten wir wieder mal nach Barcelona kommen, dann kommen wir bestimmt zu dir!!! GLG aus Bayern! Andrea, Andreas und Maxim
Vielen Dank für die lieben Worte. Ich freue mich so sehr! Grüße aus Barcelona
"Great place, great location"
Very smart and clean apartment with everything you need for a stay in Barcelona. Its quiet but step out of the door and you are right in the bustle of the city. Its an interesting 10 minute walk to Rambla and other tourist areas but just as interesting to turn the other direction and see the rest of the city. Owner Frank is a great source of information about Barcelona and local facilities. We will return!
Thank you so much and I already look forward to your return in the future.

Gutted after their last-ball defeat at the hands of the Chennai Super Kings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore face the massive challenge of flushing that loss out of their system and lift themselves when they face the Rajasthan Royals in Match 18 of DLF IPL 2012.
Daniel Vettori's men dominated that match against CSK for 38 overs, but were pipped to the post by Albie Morkel's blitz and some poor bowling. It is going to take some doing for the RCB support staff to wipe out the horrors of that defeat and prepare their team so they go out to battle with a positive frame of mind.
The Rajasthan Royals won their first two home games in style, but have since gone down in both their away matches – first losing to the Mumbai Indians and then to the Kolkata Knight Riders. This fixture will be their third consecutive away game, and Rahul Dravid will want to turn his team's fortunes around at a venue that was home to him for over 20 years.
Sunday, April 15, 2011, 08:00 p.m.
M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore
The Protagonists
Chris Gayle took some time to warm up to his big-hitting form, but when he did get into that zone he sent several deliveries over the fence with very little effort. The RCB team management and fans will be hoping the Jamaican can continue to pull off those big shots regularly and better his performance from DLF IPL 2011.
Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are other key batmen in the RCB line-up. Meanwhile, Muttiah Muralitharan continues to defy his age, and performs with the same level of skill and energy that made him the leading wicket-taker in international cricket.
Apart from Rahul Dravid and Ajinkya Rahane at the top of the innings, the Rajasthan Royals will hope Owais Shah can maintain his good form through the rest of the competition.
The Rajasthan Royals could possibly look at including Shaun Tait in their line-up, given the hard surface they are likely to encounter at the venue. The 29-year-old will have fond memories of the venue; he had picked up five wickets in a 2011 CLT20 match against RCB. Also, by now, RR would have learnt about Gayle's weakness against quick bowlers, and they would want to exploit that it.
Previous Meetings
The record stands at one win apiece between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Rajasthan Royals in their three clashes at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium; with one match getting washed away by rain. Overall though, RCB hold a slight edge, having won four off the eight contests between the two teams.
Shaun Tait's best bowling figures in Twenty20 cricket (five for 32) were achieved against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
In his 16-year international career, Rahul Dravid only made three half-centuries in 22 innings (15 Test innings, 7 ODI innings) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, in 12 IPL innings at the venue, he has already scored two half-centuries, and will look to add to his tally.
What next?
Rajasthan Royals will be seen in action next on April 17 when they host the Deccan Chargers, who will be searching for their first victory in DLF IPL 2012. The Royal Challengers Bangalore will be seen in action on the same day, when they take the field at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium to clash with the Pune Warriors India.

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
If you say the words "De Tomaso" to someone who enjoys the company of motor cars, the next word that comes to mind will be "Pantera". The De Tomaso Pantera sold in its thousands through the Seventies and Eighties and was rightly loved as a beautiful Italian supercar propelled by raw American power.
But the Pantera was destined to suffer from both the excesses and the cautions of its time: many were fitted with boy-racer wings and flared wheel arches; American models were saddled with the ugly bumpers that were dictated by US crash-test legislation.
The Pantera's predecessor suffered no such indignities. The mid-engined Mangusta, or mongoose, was designed for De Tomaso by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro, then making his name at the Italian styling house Ghia, following a stint at Bertone.
The use of a muscular Ford V8 engine ensured that the gorgeously proportioned Mangusta could go as fast as its looks suggested. The use of Detroit engines may have displeased the supercar purists, but it meant a powerplant that could be relied upon without the need for constant pampering like the temperamental Italian thoroughbreds of the day.
There were, however, some complaints that the Mangusta's chassis wasn't quite strong enough to deal with all that power, leading to a few handling issues. But as a piece of automotive art, the Mangusta continues to grow in strength and the gullwing engine covers are a signature draw whenever the car is parked at motoring events.
The bright yellow 1970 car being sold at the Artcurial auction in Le Mans is a fully restored left-hand drive example. "The Mangusta is a great Italian supercar from the golden era, with exotic styling and a powerful and strong Ford V8 engine," said Matthieu Lamoure, managing director of Artcurial Motorcars.
He added: "It is still relatively affordable compared to some of its contemporaries and of course it is extremely rare. Just over 400 examples of the Mangusta were built and far fewer have survived, making this model highly sought-after by collectors today."
The 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta is lot 276 in the Artcurial Le Mans Classic 2014 in Le Mans on July 5. Estimate €180,000-200,000 (approx. £145,000-160,000)
Update: sold for €208,600 (£165,000) including buyer's premium

Maybe for you, love is a rose
Delicate and beautiful
Soft, fragrant and wet with dew
For you it blooms slowly
The rose maturing
Easily crushed and scattered
Heat of reality withering it
Cold of indifference shattering it
That may work for you
For me love is a storm
Sometimes the clouds dissapate
Before a single drop of rain
Comes to wash away the pain
The moisture will evaporate
Leaving me in a desert
Thirsty and utterly alone
Love can be cool and sweet
Rain running through my hair
Heart soaring through the grey sky
Doing things I would not dare
Dancing when I do not know how
Laughing at a joke that is not there
Discovering myself all over again
Love can be hot and violent
The lightning striking
Hearts brightening
Unexpected and sudden
Gone as soon as it began
Thunder rumbling
Memories dimming
Dragging pain within
A single bolt can destroy me
Each strike coming near
Yet I stand in an empty feild
Waiting to see light arc for me
Waiting for you
Love leaves me breathless
Love leaves me burned
Love leaves me often
Wanting love that much more

RIG 3.0 Exploit Kit Infects Millions, Most Notably Adobe Flash Users
Trustwave researchers infiltrate the exploit kit's infrastructure and find a high success rate for Flash exploits.The RIG exploit kit is undergoing an evolution to version 3.0 as malware authors seek to infect an increasing volume of victims. A research team at security vendor Trustwave has managed to infiltrate the RIG ecosystem, which is made up of a command and control system as well as third parties that use RIG as a service to exploit users. Arseny Levin, lead security researcher at Trustwave, said the RIG 2.0 code was leaked in February by a disgruntled RIG reseller. With the RIG 3.0 update, the exploit kit authors are now abandoning the reseller model and selling the service directly. Levin said that Trustwave based its initial research into RIG 3.0 on the source code that was leaked with RIG 2.0 and then escalated from there, eventually gaining access to the RIG back-end servers. "We had access to the RIG administration panel and then got access to their database," Levin told eWEEK. "They did a good job of securing their source code, so it was a really complex task to get access, which required a team effort from Trustwave researchers." Levin noted that exploit URLs delivered by RIG 3.0 are now more difficult to detect, thanks to a new dynamic model of URLs. In the past, URLs used by RIG were relatively static, which meant that signature-based detection was possible in security platforms, he said. The way the RIG 3.0 exploit kit works is largely by way of malvertising links, according to Levin. Malvertising is a form of malicious online advertising where the destination landing page of the ad leads to some form of malware exploit delivery. He said that RIG 3.0 lands as a low-cost advertising network bid, making use of low frequency keywords in an effort to help avoid detection.
Overall, the Trustwave research team has seen a high degree of success so far from the RIG 3.0 exploit kit.

2004 Scion xA ProblemsSqueaking Noise When Applying Brakes in Reverse
When backing up and applying the brakes, you may hear a squeaking noise. Scion engineers addressed this problem by modifying the shape of the brake pad and the anti-squeal shims; they also applied more grease during assembly.
The AC evaporator drain hose may become dislodged and cause a water leak on the passenger floor.
Air conditioning that doesn't blow cold enough could indicate the need for adjusting the cable for the temperature blend door.
2004 Scion xA QuestionsThe power windows don't always work. What electrical problem do I have? (2 answers)
The windows act like they have run out of power while moving. They only move a little at a time and you have to wait and then it will move a little more. This doesn't happen all the time.
Recently bought a 2004 Scion Xa. There is no notification or warning when headlights are inadvertently left on - no buzzer, no bell, no nothing. Is this a design oversight or is there a part that needs to be replaced?

Certain Scion vehicles sold from Gulf States Toyota and Southeast Toyota with Rostra cruise control may have a problem where the cruise control does not release the throttle the first time the on/off switch is pressed. If the throttle is not released when needed, a crash could occur. The vehicle manufacturers will notify owners and replace the cruise control free of charge. Rostra will notify purchasers of the aftermarket cruise controls and replace the units free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2007.

Auto Theft Prevention
Auto Theft Prevention
It is always a good idea to have some kind of anti-theft device installed in your car. Insurance companies provide discounts on insurance costs if car feature some form of anti-theft device. Of course, some solutions are better than others but any device provides some level of protection. Anti-theft devices can deter thieves three ways:
- Physically -- no thief wants to waste precious time exerting a lot of physical effort.
- Visually -- just the sight of an anti-theft device inside a car will put off many thieves.
- Audibly -- thieves never want to draw attention to themselves.
To help protect your vehicle, it's worth investing in the best anti-theft system you can afford. But no anti-theft device is foolproof. If your car is highly vulnerable, equip it with two or more different types of devices. For example, your electronic immobilizer prevents outright theft. That's good, but break-ins still happen. The distinct outline of a steering wheel lock shows that you take extra precautions -- and probably leave nothing of value to steal from your locked vehicle.
The vast majority of car thieves are drug addicts. They steal cars and trucks so that they can commit other crimes in order to raise cash to buy more drugs. In 2003 approximately 40,000 cars and trucks were stolen in British Columbia, 30,000 of those vehicles were stolen from the Greater Vancouver area.
For additional information about how you can protect you vehicle, please visit ICBC's web site.
