Class Meetings & Attendance
Wednesdays 1:00 PM – 4:50 PM, Seaver 120
This is a hands-on laboratory course, thus attendance at all class meetings is required. This class meets continuously between 1:00 PM and 4:50 PM and will rarely, if ever, "get out early". An unexcused absence from class will result in a 5% deduction from the overall course grade. The instructor should be notified as soon as possible, electronically or by phone, of the reasons for all absences.
Mutual Responsibilities
This course is designed to foster your development as a scientist and to give you an authentic research experience. We will be engaged together in discovering, examining, and practicing the personal qualities, technical skills, and community standards of the scientific community. While you are ultimately responsible for your own learning, you are not alone. Our class constitutes a team where we will be learning from each other. The role of the instructor is to provide the expert coaching to support and assist you on your journey. All of the laboratory exercises, readings, assignments, and policies detailed below have been designed with this purpose in mind.
Classroom and Laboratory Environment
We are all responsible for maintaining a classroom and laboratory environment that is safe and conducive to learning. As such, we will observe the following:
- As an LMU Lion, by the Lion's code, you are pledged to join the discourse of the academy with honesty of voice and integrity of scholarship and to show respect for staff, professors, and other students.
- You are responsible for your own learning and for being a good class citizen.
- Class will start promptly on time.
- You are expected to come to class having done the assigned reading and preparatory work so that you are ready to participate in discussions and to perform the laboratory exercises.
- You are expected to bring the required materials to each class session.
- Cell phones, pagers, and other communication or music devices must be turned off and put away out of sight. Your own laptops and/or tablet may be used to conduct the class exercises; however, if they are being used for other purposes and become distracting to you or others, you will be asked to put them away.
- All students are governed by LMU Community Standards Publication.

Course Description
Bioinformatics is the application of information technology (informatics) to biological data. Informatics is the representation, organization, manipulation, distribution, maintenance, and use of digital information. When applied to biological data, informatics provides databases and analytical tools for answering biological questions. Bioinformatics is inherently interdisciplinary, involving aspects of biology, computer science, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. While computers have been used to analyze biological data since their invention, the need for computational methods has recently exploded due to the huge amounts of data produced by genome sequencing projects and other high-throughput technologies. Bioinformatics techniques are being used to move the field of biology from a "one gene at a time" approach, to the analysis of whole systems. In this course, students will learn current bioinformatics techniques to address systems-level biological questions. Topics include sequence alignment and phylogeny, protein structural biology, and the analysis of DNA microarray data.
Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes
- To gain foundational knowledge about molecular evolution, protein structure, and gene expression.
- To gain computer, data, and information literacy skills.
- To ask your own biological questions and answer them with the appropriate bioinformatics tools and techniques.
- To read and critically evaluate the primary scientific literature.
- To give effective scientific presentations.
- To be confident in "leaving your comfort zone", flourishing outside of it, and learning more about bioinformatics on your own.
Course Work & Grading
Your work in this course will be assessed in three areas:
Electronic laboratory notebook/journal assignments 140 points Journal club presentations 150 points Oral lab reports 210 points Total 500 points
Grades will be posted on the MyLMU Connect Grade Center for this course.
Final course grading scale
Electronic Laboratory Notebook/Journal
One of the most important skills you can develop as a scientist is keeping an excellent laboratory notebook. The bioinformatics equivalent of the biology paper-based lab notebook is documentation of your "workflow". For this course you will practice the documentation skills needed by users of bioinformatics tools by keeping an electronic lab notebook or journal. The technology we will use is a public MediaWiki site hosted by OpenWetWare.org, that we will create and edit during the semester. You will create an individual user page and make weekly entries that the instructor will read and grade. You will use the OpenWetWare site to complete the assignments as well. The following guidelines apply:
- Your weekly journal entry is due every midnight on Wednesday PDT (Tuesday night/Wednesday morning). Note that the OpenWetWare server records the time as Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Therefore, midnight will register as 03:00 on the server.
- You will earn 10 points per weekly submission. Late journal entries will be accepted up to one week later for up to half credit.
- The instructor will read and comment on how to improve your journal entries on your User Talk page.
- Depending on the type of assignment for that week, you may be given the opportunity to make improvements to previous journal entries as the semester progresses.
- Generally, your journal entries will consist of:
- Workflow and other documentation for hands-on exercises and projects
- Answers to any specific questions posed in the exercise
- Reflection on your learning
Journal Club Presentations
Each bioinformatics project will begin with a "Journal Club" where students will present and lead discussion of research articles from the primary literature. In addition, we may also discuss ethical case studies relating to the topics in the course. Because that day's class content is dependent upon each student being ready to present and lead discussion, late journal club presentations and ethics case studies will not be accepted.
Oral Lab Reports
The final step in the scientific method is communication of the results to the scientific community. In bioinformatics, the communication takes place in the form of peer-reviewed papers, presentations and posters at conferences, and through web sites. To build your scientific communication skills, you will give an oral lab report for each of the bioinformatics projects assigned in the course. Because that day's class content is dependent upon each student being ready to give his or her presentation, late oral lab reports will not be accepted.
Extra Credit
Students may accumulate up to 2.5% of their final grade in extra credit by attending Biology Department seminars and completing the seminar sheets. Each seminar attended is worth 0.5% with up to 5 seminars (2.5%) total. Students arriving late to the seminar will not be granted credit—so don't be late!
Certain, non-Biology Department seminars may be approved in advance for extra credit at the instructor's discretion. To receive credit for these non-Biology Department seminars, you must turn in a one-page summary of the seminar within one week of the date of the seminar or they will not count as extra credit.
Work Load Expectations
In line with LMU's Credit Hour Policy (http://www.lmu.edu/Assets/LMU+Credit+Hour+Policy_Final.pdf), the work load expectation for this course is that for every unit of course credit, you will complete a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week. This is a 1-unit course. Thus, the expectation is that you will complete 2 hours of studying outside of class per week.
University Policy on Academic Honesty
Loyola Marymount University expects high standards of honesty and integrity from all members of its community. All students are expected to follow the LMU honor code. As stated in the LMU Undergraduate Bulletin, "Examples of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, the following: all acts of cheating on assignments or examinations, or facilitating other students' cheating; plagiarism; fabrication of data, including the use of false citations; improper use of non-print media; unauthorized access to computer accounts or files or other privileged information and improper use of Internet sites and resources."

Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism: Strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic, temporarily not accepting tourists from high-risk areas to Qiong
Date: 2021-01-13
Continue to temporarily not resume entry and exit group tours and "air ticket + hotel" business.
On January 11, it was reported that the current situation of epidemic prevention and control in my country is still severe and complicated. As the Spring Festival is approaching, Hainan's tourism has entered a stage of explosive growth. Frequent activities of various kinds and a large flow of people will increase the risk of epidemic transmission. According to the deployment and requirements of the Provincial Headquarters for Epidemic Prevention and Control, the Provincial Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs issued a notice a few days ago, requiring all cities, counties, tourism and cultural bureaus and tourism companies in the province to firmly establish the first awareness of epidemic prevention and control and do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.
The notice requires that all units and enterprises should effectively strengthen the risk assessment of business activities, equip protective equipment, carry out epidemic prevention publicity, do well in personnel epidemic prevention training, epidemic prevention investigation, implement environmental elimination, strengthen health monitoring of employees, and formulate epidemic prevention and control Prevention and control measures such as work plans and emergency response plans.
Travel agencies and online tourism companies must do a good job in the collection of tourist information, strictly control the number of teams, continue to temporarily not resume inbound and outbound team tours and "air ticket + hotel" business, and temporarily not invite tourists from medium and high-risk areas to come to Qiong or organize tourists to go there For tourism in medium and high-risk areas, it is necessary to strengthen pre-departure inspections and strictly implement the system of measuring body temperature and verifying health codes. People with abnormal body temperatures and non-green codes are not allowed to participate in the itinerary.
Tourist attractions should continue to implement the requirements of "limited, appointment, and off-peak" admission, and the number of tourists received shall not exceed 75% of the maximum carrying capacity. It is necessary to insist on body temperature detection and check the Hainan Health Code, and only those with normal body temperature and a "green code" can enter the scenic spot. It is necessary to strengthen diversion in important tourist spots, viewing platforms, traffic junctions and other areas that are prone to tourist congestion to avoid crowds.
Theaters and other performance venues that are reopened must strictly implement personnel appointments and flow restrictions. Consumers must not exceed 75% of the theater seats. Seats should be separated from each other. Keep a distance of more than 1 meter. When entering the theater, you must wear a mask, measure your body temperature, and show your health. code.
At the same time, strictly approve and supervise activities such as cultural performances, sports competitions, exhibitions and sales, temporarily not approve crowd-intensive activities such as marathons, strictly control mass activities such as festival blessings, temple fairs, etc., strictly control the flow of people, designate access channels, and improve body temperature. Monitoring and emergency response preparations will not be approved for activities that do not meet the epidemic prevention and control and safety requirements.
The notice requires that all units take the initiative to publicize the knowledge of epidemic prevention and control, promptly release precautions for the prevention and control of the epidemic situation of tourists on travel, and advocate family private gatherings and dinners to be controlled under 10 people. It is necessary to instruct travel-related companies to implement the nucleic acid test requirements for the personnel that should be checked 7 days before the trip. The number of meetings and gatherings should be controlled, and online meetings or video conferences should be held as much as possible. Events with more than 50 people should develop prevention and control plans and strictly implement them Relevant prevention and control measures.
The notice emphasizes that all units will further guide tourism, cultural and sports enterprises to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, consolidate the main responsibilities of enterprises for prevention and control, clarify emergency measures and handling procedures for epidemic prevention and control emergencies, and strengthen cooperation with health, transportation, public security and other departments The joint cooperation and cooperation of the epidemic prevention and control capabilities have improved.

The Sounders are certifiably one of the four best teams in Major League Soccer. But the fact that, by a slim margin, they will not get a chance to prove they are the best team, had them sputtering and muttering Sunday night.
They don't quite know with whom to be more angry: Themselves or the officiating.
Again, they were thwarted by their nemesis, the Los Angeles Galaxy. Again, they played valiantly in the second match, but were too miserable in the first match to overcome it.
And again, they were hosed by a bad call or two.
The Sounders won the match 2-1 Sunday, but lost the Western Conference final series on aggregate goals, 4-2. So the Galaxy get to move on to defend their MLS crown at home Dec. 1 against Houston. The Sounders get to mutter through the winter.
A season that started in a cold rain in March and ended in a cold rain in November had a chance to continue. For 10 minutes, the inspired, relentless Sounders held a 2-0 lead after Zach Scott, in the 57th minute, headed in a low, hard corner kick from Christian Tiffert. They had the Clink crowd of 44,575 in a frenzy as they pressed for the tying goal that would have forced 30 minutes of overtime against a team missing injured Landon Donovan (hamstring) and with usual starter Juninho in reserve.
Then Adam Johansson was called for a handball as he and the Galaxy's best player, DP Robbie Keane, battled for possession of the ball along the end line. There was little doubt ball hit hand, but Keane was awarded a penalty kick that he easily converted. That killed Seattle's momentum, because getting three goals in the remaining 23 minutes against a team as smart as the Galaxy just wasn't going to happen.
"That was kind of a harsh call," said Sounders coach Sigi Schmid. "It was clever move (by Keane). He wasn't passing to anybody. He was trying to draw a penalty.
"Common sense might say it's not a PK."
To a pool reporter, referee Mark Geiger explained the call, comparing it to a non-PK call earlier on a handball by Sounders defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado:
"The hand was in an unnatural playing position, and (Johansson) was making himself bigger by taking space. His arms were outside of his body. Hurtado's arm was next to his body. He was not making himself bigger. This was a case of ball-to-hand."
But that call was less infuriating than the offsides call in the 11th minute that took down an apparent goal by Eddie Johnson. Replays showed Johnson was onside.
Schmid hadn't seen the replay, so he held back, saying, "Obviously that (goal) would have helped us."
GM Adrian Hanauer didn't see replays either, but staffers in the booth told him there was no foul. The top Sounder, majority owner Joe Roth, saw the replays and declined to be diplomatic.
"The officiating," said Roth on the way to the locker room, "is bullshit."
Hanauer declined to endorse Roth's words, but he shared the point.
"The thing that frustrates players and coaches is they lose lose their jobs when (officials) make mistakes (costing games)," said Hanauer, a member of the competition committee. "There doesn't seem to be any significant consequences to making game-changing decisions that aren't right. I'm disappointed. A couple big calls go against us; if they hadn't, the game is different.
"I'm as culpable and involved as anyone (in officiating quality). I just want to make it better so that I don't have to live with this on as regular a basis. (Officiating) is a tough job. They are going to make mistakes no matter what, until we implement a little bit of video review. Theoretically, those bad decisions balance out. It didn't feel like it for us this season. I'm sure there are a lot of teams who feel it wasn't balanced."
When they weren't complaining about the calls, the Sounders owned up to putting themselves in a position to need every break to win because, for the second year in a row, they played a lousy opener in the two-leg format.
"The damage was done to us in game number one," said Schmid. "We're showing the capabilities that we can win games, we just need to eliminate the losses by the size they are. LA lost its first playoff game against San Jose (1-0 in the Western semifinals) and came back to win (the series). If we lost one-nothing in LA, we'd still be out there on the field playing."
As for the bigger picture of the season, Schmid was proud of finally moving out of the playoffs for the first time in the club's four-year MLS existence. But that buzz lasted less than three days before they were bludgeoned 3-0 in LA by the Galaxy.
The rest of the season was solid but trophy-free. No side baubles like the U.S. Open Cup or the Cascadia Cup. And they finished with 56 points in the regular season, seven fewer than a year ago.
So the question of progress is debatable, at least in the mind of Scott, who besides scoring the header had the assist on Johnson's goal in the 13th minute for a 1-0 lead.
"I don't want to be a pessimist," he said. "But our goal coming in isn't to advance to the playoffs, it's to win the whole thing. So no, it isn't progress."
One of the casualties of the disappointing finish may be Fredy Montero. The striker from Colombia was shut out again Sunday, making it oh-for-four-years as far as scoring in the playoffs. That's not the kind of production Seattle wants from one of its three designated players.
Montero has had moments of greatness broken by stretches of invisibility. A little like the Sounders.
With the game in the balance in the 74th minute, he was pulled by Schmid and replaced with David Estrada. That may have been it for Montero. It hasn't worked well enough.
In the wake of the defeat, no one was talking about Montero and his future. They were too busy bitching. For an outfit that has ambitions to be a world-class club, and has the resources to do it, the failure to become kings of the American hill showed its ugliness Sunday night.
As the game ended, midfielder and captain Osvaldo Alonso, the team's best player, accosted the officials at midfield and had to be pulled away.
Already assessed a yellow card in-game, Geiger gave him a second after the match, making for a red card, meaning that he will be forced to sit out the Sounders' opener in 2013.
The season barely over, and they are already a little behind for next year. For the final night of 2012, little was good for the muttering, sputtering Sounders.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The installation of pole vault planting box padding permitted under Rule 7-5-24 will be a requirement in high school track and field beginning with the 2014-15 season. This was one of 13 rules changes approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Track and Field Rules Committee at its June 10-12 meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. "Several of these major rules changes are areas the committee has discussed and monitored for the past two or three years," said Becky Oakes, NFHS director of sports and staff liaison for track and field. Pole vault planting box padding that meets ASTM specification standards was allowed this past season and will be permitted in 2013-14 before being required in 2014-15. The padding can be incorporated into the design of the planting box or can be an addition to an existing planting box. "The committee viewed this as one of the areas of pole vault where padding meeting the specific ASTM specification standard has the potential to prevent or minimize the severity of an injury that may occur to a vaulter landing in the plant box," Oakes said. Another change in the pole vault will limit a competitor to one minute to initiate a trial after being called for the attempt (more than three entrants). If two or three competitors remain, the allowable time is three minutes; if only one remains, the time limit is five minutes. The time limit for consecutive trials remains unchanged at three minutes. With an increasing number of track and field participants wearing compression-style garments under their uniform shorts as foundation garments, Rule 4-3-1c(7) was modified to require only those visible garments worn under the uniform bottom that extend below the knees to be unadorned and of a single, solid color. Current NFHS rules regarding logos and insignias apply to knee-length or longer garments. There are no longer restrictions to visible garments worn under the uniform bottom if they terminate above the knees. "The committee is continuing to address uniform rules to ensure that they are practical for today's high school athletes," Oakes said. "It is also working to make the penalties for non-compliance fit the severity of the violation and preserve the integrity and spirit of the rule on uniforms." Rule 3-2-8 now permits the use of electronic devices in unrestricted areas and coaching boxes, providing the location does not interfere with progress of the meet as determined by the meet referee. With this allowance, some supporting rules have been established. Electronic devices shall not be used to transmit information to the competitor during the race or trial, nor are they permitted to be used for any review of an official's decision. However, state associations may also have policies in place to further address the use of electronic devices. Violation of these rules will result in competitor disqualification from the event and team personnel disqualification from further participation in the meet for unsporting conduct. "This rule clarifies that coaches can use electronic devices and share information with their athletes as long as the devices are being used in accordance with the stated rule," Oakes said. "This is an opportunity for coaches to use available technology as a coaching tool and increase the opportunity for good coaching." Two rules were added to the "Meet Officials and Their Duties" section. Rule 3-1-2 states that the meet referee, other meet officials or the jury of appeals shall not set aside any rule. Additionally, Rule 3-2-7 permits official communication equipment to include wireless communication devices, among officials, for aiding in matters related to the meet. In another rules change, vaulting poles are no longer inspected by the implement inspector. They are now to be inspected by the field referee or head field judge prior to warm-ups, according to changes made to Rules 3-19-3 and 7-5-5. The committee believes that implement inspectors have more expertise in throwing implements, and this change ensures a more efficient and practical process for inspections of vaulting poles on site. In the javelin (Rule 6-6-1 Note), specific diameter dimensions of the rubber tip were removed from the rule to align with the current process of manufacturing the equipment. Finally, Rule 6-2-9 requires a pass to be communicated to the event judge by the competitor before the start of the trial clock. Outdoor track and field is the second-most popular sport for boys at the high school level with 575,628 participants, and the most popular sport for girls with 468,747 participants, according to the 2011-12 NFHS Athletics Participation Survey. The sport ranks second in school sponsorship with 16,218 schools offering the sport for boys and 16,143 sponsoring the sport for girls.

Green home improvements that can make a real difference in home value
(BPT) – What your home is worth to you is one thing; what it's worth to someone else may be totally different. If you want to boost the value of your home for yourself and in the eyes of others, one of the best ways to do that in today's real estate market is to make green home improvements.
Going green can mean a lot of things, and it's easy to start with small changes like switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs and unplugging appliances when they're not in use. Not only will you be doing good for the environment, you might end up saving on utility bills and, ultimately, increasing your home's value when the time comes to sell.
Green projects aren't all necessarily in the do-it-yourself category, and making an investment to have the bigger jobs done right will pay off in the long run.
"It's important for homeowners to consider cost-saving efficiency projects as part of their overall home renovation plans, says RE/MAX/CEO Margaret Kelly. "And a trained real estate agent will be able to identify the projects that cut current expenses and pay potential dividends when you're ready to sell."
Getting started now – even if that just means planning – is a good idea, particularly if you're thinking about selling in a few months' time. Talk to a real estate agent about what improvements are popular among potential home buyers, and consider these ideas:
*Insulation: Regulating the hot air your home lets in during the summer and lets out in the winter can have a short-term impact on your heating and cooling bills. To find out whether you need additional insulation in your attic or walls, order an energy audit. Perhaps you could benefit from adding blown-in insulation to your walls. If your attic is unfinished, it's particularly important to make sure that it's appropriately insulated to avoid wasting energy.
*Windows: Caulking and putting up energy-saving window film is a great start, but a more dramatic change might make a world of difference if you want to make a sale. Replacing your existing windows with high-efficiency versions can be an expensive proposition, but the return on your investment can be dramatic, particularly if you're hoping to attract buyers.
*Landscaping: While planting isn't always possible in the coldest months of the year, putting together a plan for energy-conscious plantings is a great idea. Consider adding trees that will bring shade to the sunniest spots, like the west side of your home, to cut summertime electric bills. Trees that lose their leaves in the fall will let light in during the winter, as opposed to evergreens which will block it throughout the year.
*Water: Take the first step by turning down the temperature setting on your water heater. For more savings consider replacing older heaters with energy-efficient models or even solar water heaters. Adding insulation to your pipes can also make a difference in how much energy is used to heat water.
Most homeowners put a lot of effort into making their homes attractive, welcoming spaces. With green updates, you can make your home not only more comfortable and more energy-efficient, but also more appealing to buyers. Add the potential energy savings and the possible boost in home value and you have even more reasons to bring your home into the green age.
For recommendations about making your home green, talk to a knowledgeable real estate agent.

One of the easiest and most common ways for you to support Eden II & Genesis Foundation is with a gift of cash. Cash can be used to support our work in the form of:
An outright gift. By making a cash gift by check, credit card or money order today, you enable us to meet our most urgent needs and carry out our mission on a daily basis. You will have the opportunity to see your generosity in action and will also receive an immediate federal income tax charitable deduction, when you itemize.
A payable on death (POD) account. A POD bank account or certificate of deposit names one or more persons or charities as the beneficiary of all funds once you, the account owner, pass away. The beneficiary you name has no rights to the funds until after your lifetime. Until that time, you remain in control and are free to use the money in the bank account, change the beneficiary or close the account.
A gift in your will or living trust. Through a gift in your will or living trust, you can support the Foundation with a specific amount of money or a percentage of your total estate. This type of gift allows you the flexibility to change your mind at anytime and your estate will benefit from a federal estate tax charitable deduction for the amount of the gift.
A charitable gift annuity. One of the most common ways to fund this gift that supports the Foundation and provides you and/or a loved one with fixed payments for life is with cash in the form of a check. A charitable gift annuity typically works well for those 60 and older.
A charitable remainder trust. Cash is the easiest and least complicated way to fund a charitable remainder trust. Oftentimes, it can provide the necessary liquidity to provide for payments to the income beneficiary when the trust is funded with hard to sell assets.
A charitable lead trust. You may always use cash to fund a lead trust. Oftentimes, lead trusts are funded with cash in addition to stock or real estate.
A donor advised fund. A gift of cash through check or credit card is one of the easiest ways to contribute to a donor advised fund. Your federal income tax charitable deduction is equal to the amount of your cash contribution.
Memorial and tribute gifts. If you have a friend or family member whose life has been touched by the Foundation, consider making a gift to us in his or her name.
An endowed gift. Create an endowment or contribute to one that is already established to ensure that your support of the Foundation will last forever.
Next Steps
- Contact Teresa Cirelli, Executive Director of the Eden II & Genesis Foundation, at email@example.com or 718-816-1422 x 1040 for additional information on giving a gift of cash.

Big 1st half propels Florida over Minnesota
Published 8:31 pm Sunday, March 24, 2013
AUSTIN, Texas — Mike Rosario scored 25 points and Florida used an overpowering first half to roll past Minnesota and into the NCAA tournament round of 16 for third consecutive year with a 78-64 win Sunday in the South Regional.
The No. 3 seed Gators (28-7) shot a blistering 65 percent in the first half and led by 21 by halftime. The win earns Florida a return trip to the Lone Star State to play their next game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
Andre Hollins scored 25 points to lead the No. 11-seed Gophers (21-13). Hollins' 3-point shooting sparked a second-half rally that pulled Minnesota within seven points, but Rosario's sixth 3-pointer with 3 minutes left pushed the Gators' lead back to 16 and effectively locked up the win.
The rematch of old coaching rivals Billy Donovan of Florida and Tubby Smith of Minnesota looked for a while like it would be a laugher.
Donovan's Gators rode into the tournament as one of the best defensive teams in the country and backed that up in their first two games of the tournament. After thrashing Northwestern State, the Gators shoved aside the Gophers of the Big Ten in a 20-minute show of muscle and offensive firepower.
Rosario was 8 of 12 shooting overall and 6 of 9 on 3-pointers.
Defensively, the Gators denied just about everything the Gophers tried in the first half. Florida tied up Gophers shooters at the perimeter, challenged layups and blocked a dunk when Casey Prather stuffed Minnesota's muscular Trevor Mbakwe in a clear statement that Florida would be as tough as anything the Gophers faced in the Big Ten.
Offensively, it seemed like Florida shooters couldn't miss. Rosario made four 3-pointers and Erik Murphy delivered a dagger when he buried one from the right corner to put Florida up by 22 with 5 minutes left in half. Minnesota gathered itself for a brief burst when Hollins knocked down consecutive 3-pointers and a steal and layup trimmed Florida's lead to 39-23.
If the Gophers could have pulled within 10 by halftme, they might have been able to grab a lead at some point in the second. Instead, the Gators scored nine straight points, getting another 3-pointer from Murphy to roll into the locker room leading 48-27 and the "Gator Chomp" was sounding ominous even 1,000 miles away from home.
Minnesota wasn't ready to roll over just yet.
Hollins, who scored 53 points in two games, made three 3-pointers in an 11-2 run that took some of the swagger out of the Gators. Minnesota kept chipping away and trimmed the Florida lead to 53-46 with 12 minutes left.
But Hollins soon picked up his fourth foul and went to the bench. The Gophers had lost their first shooting option and by the time he returned, the Gators had built the lead back to 12 before a 7-0 run all but closed it out.
Murphy scored 15 for Florida and Scottie Wilbekin scored 12 to go with six assists for the Gators.

January 24, 2013
By Tim Booth
AP Sports Writer
Nearly five years after their colors, banners and history were packed away into storage and their franchise relocated, the SuperSonics are one significant step closer to returning to Seattle.
And the Kings are on the edge of leaving Sacramento.
All that appears to stand in the way now is approval by NBA owners.
The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, the league confirmed in a statement Monday morning. The deal is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Governors.
A person familiar with the decision said that Hansen's group will buy 65 percent of the franchise, which is valued at $525 million, and move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The deal will cost the Hansen group a little more than $340 million. The Maloofs will have no stake in the team.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was waiting approval.
The sale figure works off a total valuation of the franchise, which includes relocation fees. Hansen's group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors.
The Maloofs will get a $30 million non-refundable down payment by Feb. 1, according to the deal, the person said. They will still be allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale. The Kings sale price of $525 million would surpass the NBA record $450 million the Golden State Warriors sold for in 2010.
The plan by Hansen's group is to have the team play at least the next two seasons in KeyArena before moving into a new facility in downtown Seattle. The deadline for teams to apply for a move for next season is March 1. The office of Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn confirmed Monday it is already working with Hansen on an agreement for using KeyArena, including scheduling and short-term upgrades to the arena.
"While we are not at liberty to discuss the terms of the transaction or our plans for the franchise given the confidential nature of the agreement and NBA regulations regarding public comments during a pending transaction, we would just like to extend our sincerest compliments and gratitude toward the Maloof family," Hansen said in a statement. "Our negotiations with the family were handled with the utmost honor and professionalism and we hope to continue their legacy and be great stewards of this NBA franchise in the coming years and decades."
Hansen was not available for further comment.
Momentum was building toward a sale agreement after word of talks between Hansen and the Maloofs leaked nearly two weeks ago. Sacramento will get its chance to counter with Mayor Kevin Johnson already receiving permission from NBA Commissioner David Stern to present a counteroffer to league owners from buyers who would keep the Kings in Sacramento.
Johnson, a former NBA All-Star point guard, said in a statement that the city remained undeterred.
"Sacramento has proven that it is a strong NBA market with a fan base that year in and year out has demonstrated a commitment to the Kings by selling out 19 of 27 seasons in a top-20 market and owning two of the longest sellout streaks in NBA history," Johnson said.
Yet Johnson will be fighting an uphill challenge trying to pull together an ownership group in a small window of time while Seattle begins preparing for the return of the green and gold.
The SuperSonics became a historic footnote when owner Clay Bennett moved the franchise to Oklahoma City in 2008. It was the conclusion of a contentious two years of lawsuits, broken leases, negotiations and ultimately a settlement that allowed 41 years of pro basketball history in Seattle to be moved away.
While Seattle was excited about Monday's news, there was an air of caution as well, with many fans still stung about the Sonics previous departure not wanting to believe in their return until everything is signed and delivered. Others in Seattle have wanted an expansion franchise rather than taking a team from another city.
"It tore the hearts out of the city when the (team) left the first time and it's just wonderful news to get a team back," said Jerry Brown, who was at KeyArena Monday buying college basketball tickets. "I feel sorry for the people of Sacramento, they have good fans there, but we want our team back."
Ironically enough, it will be Bennett that has a say in whether Seattle returns to the NBA portfolio as the head of the league's relocation committee.
Caught in an awkward spot is the Kings' basketball team itself, some of whom have Seattle ties. Guard Isaiah Thomas grew up in Tacoma, Wash., and before the Kings played in New Orleans on Monday was already feeling the discomfort of being wedged between two cities.
"It's just a little weird (but) at the same time I love Sacramento, I love everything about it. Love the fans, the organization just brought me in with open arms. That's all I really know in this league is Sacramento," Thomas said. "But then I am from that area back home, it's just kind of a different situation. Whatever I say about Seattle, Sacramento fans might be mad at me and whatever I say about Sacramento, Seattle fans might be mad at me. I just love both cities.
"It's out of my control."
The saga of the Kings' future in California's Capitol city has dragged on for nearly three years and now faces its most daunting challenge.
Hansen, a Seattle native and San Francisco-based investor, reached agreement with local governments in Seattle last October on plans to build a $490 million NBA/NHL arena near the city's other stadiums, CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field. No construction will begin until all environmental reviews are completed and a team has been secured. The arena also faces a pair of lawsuits, including one from a dock workers union because the arena is being built close to port and industrial operations.
Hansen's group is expected to pitch in $290 million in private investment toward the arena, along with helping to pay for transportation improvements in the area around the stadiums. The remaining $200 million in public financing would be paid back with rent money and admissions taxes from the arena, and if that money falls short, Hansen would be responsible for making up the rest.
Other investors in the proposed arena include Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and two members of the Nordstrom department store family.
"While there is more work ahead, this is a major step toward bringing the Sonics home," McGinn said.
Sacramento fans hope this is not the final chapter in their quest to save the Kings. Johnson has once already saved the Kings from relocation when he made a pitch to the Board of Governors and bought the city time to broker a deal that appeared to solve the team's arena woes. But the Maloofs backed out of that tentative $391 million deal for a new downtown venue with Sacramento last year.
Already, Johnson and other politicians have started wrangling for the Kings again.
California state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat, wrote a letter to state officials dated Tuesday — and released to several news outlets — asking them to detail how much money Ballmer's Microsoft company earns on state contracts.
"I cannot stand idly by while a prominent out-of-state company that has significantly profited from business with the State of California actively attempts to acquire and remove one of my State and region's leading private assets," he wrote in the letter to Fred Klass, director of the state Department of General Services.
Johnson said recently he's heard from various parties interested in trying to put together an ownership group that would keep the team in Sacramento, but only with a new arena. He is expected to unveil more about his plans as early as Tuesday.
"We have always appreciated and treasured our ownership of the Kings and have had a great admiration for the fans and our team members. We would also like to thank Chris Hansen for his professionalism during our negotiation. Chris will be a great steward for the franchise," Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said in a statement on behalf of the family.

Anyone who unwrapped a brand-new pair of Uggs this holiday season got more than a flashback to 2004; they also received the most popular present of 2012. The sheepskin boots topped Experian Media Services' list of the most-searched-for products last year. It was an impressive feat for the polarizing brand, which became a holiday must-have some 10 years ago. Yet Ugg searches were more common than those for iPads, Kindle Fires, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones and Barbies. It ameliorated a dismal year for Uggs, which saw a 31% sales decrease, prompting talk of price reductions.
(MORE: Kate Middleton's Nose Most-Requested Celeb Facial Feature in U.K.)
Is Tom Brady that lucrative of a spokesman? Does Alexa Chung's opinion matter but at all? Or is it more that the once trendy product has managed a resurrection to a level of guilty pleasure turned functional retro footwear whose price tag ($135 and up) still makes it a legitimate gift? Whatever the reason, it topped an impressive array of technology, proving that utility and plush thermal boots really can triumph over logic and crystal-clear digital tablet displays.
The top 10 gift searches were:
1. Uggs
2. Kindle Fire
3. iPad
4. Amazon Kindle
5. Barbie
6. iPad Mini
7. iPod Touch
8. Kindle Fire HD
9. Ugg Boots
10. Beats by Dr. Dre

Guerrilla Marketing Is Not Dead
August 22, 2016
Like guerrilla warfare, guerrilla marketing offers low-cost tactics that include an element of surprise. Your business meets potential customers where they stand, while generating leads and saving you money.
So how can your business take advantage of the guerrilla marketing phenomenon? Here's six ideas to get you started.
1. Personal Invitation
Can you remember the last time you received a personalized letter in the mail? They're rare, which means they're a valuable guerrilla marketing tactic. Try writing letters to current and potential clients, telling them about your small business. Don't let it be cookie-cutter, though. If you can, include a little message in each letter specific to the customer.
2. Testimonials
A solid testimonial will drive respondents to your store front. Utilize people involved with your business—managers, employees and clients. Ask what they love about the business and how it has benefited their lives. Unconventional testimonials which highlight the importance of your products or services will demonstrate business capabilities.
3. Social Media
There's no question social media exists everywhere nowadays, and with a strong guerrilla marketing focus, so can your business. Utilize platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to post interactive content with followers. Set up a content plan to educate users on your services and engage with followers by encouraging "likes" and "shares".
4. Email Marketing
Email marketing is simple to do and cost-effective. Keep emails brief and impactful with up-to-date info on products and services. Include links to videos and interactive media for a user-friendly experience. Be sure the subject line compels the reader to open and always end on a call to action which will grab your viewer's attention and link to your website.
5. Video Production
Videos marketing doesn't have to be expensive and time-consuming. In fact, with the social media craze, many users feel more connected to businesses which don't follow the conventional, unrealistic road of video production. Create your own video to post on social media, share on your website or send out via email.
6. Creative Ads
When all else fails, try guerrilla marketing for your business through creative advertisements. Guerrilla ads spring up in unsuspecting places and draw attention. They can be inexpensive to produce, but still draw a following. Come up with ideas for ads which can promote your business in the community and generate leads.
Guerrilla marketing offers a cost-effective way for your business to increase its exposure and raise earnings. By making an effort towards a proactive marketing strategy, your small business will generate customer leads and increase revenue.

The hotspot comes from the information stored in the cursor font. The initial colors of a cursor are a black foreground and a white background (see XRecolorCursor).
XCreateFontCursor can generate BadAlloc and BadValue errors.
The XCreatePixmapCursor function creates a cursor and returns the cursor ID associated with it. The foreground and background RGB values must be specified using foreground_color and background_color, even if the X server only has a StaticGray or GrayScale screen. The foreground color is used for the pixels set to 1 in the source, and the background color is used for the pixels set to 0. Both source and mask, if specified, must have depth one (or a BadMatch error results) but can have any root. The mask argument defines the shape of the cursor. The pixels set to 1 in the mask define which source pixels are displayed, and the pixels set to 0 define which pixels are ignored. If no mask is given, all pixels of the source are displayed. The mask, if present, must be the same size as the pixmap defined by the source argument, or a BadMatch error results. The hotspot must be a point within the source, or a BadMatch error results.
The components of the cursor can be transformed arbitrarily to meet display limitations. The pixmaps can be freed immediately if no further explicit references to them are to be made. Subsequent drawing in the source or mask pixmap has an undefined effect on the cursor. The X server might or might not make a copy of the pixmap.
XCreatePixmapCursor can generate BadAlloc and BadPixmap errors.
The XCreateGlyphCursor function is similar to XCreatePixmapCursor except that the source and mask bitmaps are obtained from the specified font glyphs. The source_char must be a defined glyph in source_font, or a BadValue error results. If mask_font is given, mask_char must be a defined glyph in mask_font, or a BadValue error results. The mask_font and character are optional. The origins of the source_char and mask_char (if defined) glyphs are positioned coincidently and define the hotspot. The source_char and mask_char need not have the same bounding box metrics, and there is no restriction on the placement of the hotspot relative to the bounding boxes. If no mask_char is given, all pixels of the source are displayed. You can free the fonts immediately by calling XFreeFont if no further explicit references to them are to be made.
For 2-byte matrix fonts, the 16-bit value should be formed with the byte1 member in the most significant byte and the byte2 member in the least significant byte.
XCreateGlyphCursor can generate BadAlloc, BadFont, and BadValue errors.

Pias / Believe Digital
It would be impossible to call the music of Hyperpotamus – real name Jorge Ramirez-Escudero – derivative, and you won't have ever heard an album like Delta.
This Madrid born musician, now based in the UK, describes himself as a "one-man band", however he diverts from traditional notions of this by employing his voice as his only instrument – and what a voice. Commanding and versatile, its capabilities extend from harmonising (De Camino) to beatboxing so effective you can't believe it isn't percussion (Electroclash), via chant, rap and gorgeously sung simple melodies.
From these building blocks, Delta's tracks are meticulously constructed; the gradual layering up of styles and parts throughout ensuring that there's always plenty to interest the listener. The overall effect is something of an auditory feast and a fantastic showcase of Ramirez-Escudero's talent. It is no surprise that one of the tracks here is entitled Una, Grande y Libre; this seems a perfect summary of his destiny: to be free and make it big.

Changing its story. Walking it back. Clarifying.
Whatever you call it, the IRS inspector general now has a different account of what investigators knew about the ideologies of the groups that underwent extra scrutiny as they sought tax-exempt status.
Inspector General J. Russell George explained in a letter released Thursday morning that investigators knew all along "progressives" were listed in documents used by IRS agents to screen applications.
But "we found no indication," he wrote, "that 'Progressives' was a term used to refer cases for scrutiny for political campaign intervention."
The letter, addressed to Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., the ranking member on the House Ways and Means Committee, directly contradicts statements made Tuesday to NPR and a number of other media outlets by a spokeswoman for the inspector general.
On Tuesday the spokeswoman said the treatment of progressive groups was outside the scope of the audit requested by House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif.
What changed? We don't know. The letter ends by saying, "Many of these press reports are not accurate." But notably, agency officials aren't claiming they were misquoted.
The audit, released last month, set off a political firestorm by charging that the IRS systematically targeted Tea Party groups, subjecting them to excessively long wait times and unnecessary questioning about their donors and their beliefs.
The spokeswoman told NPR, which called back to verify the accuracy of the quotes, that the inspector general was only asked to look at the targeting of Tea Party groups. The letter now asserts that the scope was much broader. "We reviewed all cases that the IRS identified as potential political cases and did not limit our audit to allegations related to the Tea Party."
At issue are a series of spreadsheets known at the IRS as "Be On the Lookout" notices, or BOLOs. They were used by IRS agents as a guide as they sorted through thousands of applications for tax-exempt status.
While the inspector general's audit said the BOLOs targeted Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny, it made no mention of progressive groups. On Monday, Levin's office posted 15 redacted BOLOs, and most of them list "Progressives" as well as "Tea Party."
The BOLO entry for "Progressives," in fact, stated explicitly that in the IRS's view, these groups were overtly political: "Common thread is the word 'progressive.' Activities appear to lean toward a new political party. Activities are partisan and appear as anti-Republican. You see references to 'blue' as being 'progressive.' "
When asked why the audit didn't mention the flagging of progressive groups, on Tuesday the spokeswoman said, "[Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration] was not aware of any BOLOs listing progressive organizations when it conducted its review."
The Thursday letter to Levin says something very different: "The 'Progressives' criteria appeared on a section of the 'Be On The Look Out' (BOLO) spreadsheet labeled 'Historical,' and, unlike the other BOLO entries, did not include instructions on how to refer cases that met the criteria."
Translation: While the Tea Party entry told agents to send all the cases to a specific person who was working those files, the spreadsheet columns where instructions would be listed were blank for the "Progressives" entry.
The letter further muddles what had already become a mess of selective information releases, partisan bomb-throwing and rhetorical hyperbole. But it makes it clear the inspector general believes Tea Party groups did have it worse than progressives. It also makes it clear progressive groups were among those that got added scrutiny as potential political cases.
Partisans on both sides claimed Thursday's letter as vindication. House Republican aides circulated it, saying the letter proves progressives weren't targeted. Meanwhile, Democrats from the House Ways and Means Committee said the omission of progressive groups means the inspector general's audit was fundamentally flawed, and they're asking the committee chairman to call George back to testify.
At a committee hearing this morning, one Democrat pointed out that George was nominated to be inspector general by former President George W. Bush.

One of the things that initially attracted me to Windows Phone was how it seemed like a balance between the iOS and Android approach to smartphones. You have a consistent user experience across devices (iOS), while still having a wide variety of handsets to choose from (Android). And it's been wonderful. We've had a variety of OEMs over the years too, companies like Samsung and HTC have been there from the beginning and others like LG and Dell came and went. Nokia came about midway through and bet the entire company on the platform.
However, Sony Ericsson is one company that has been absent the entire time, but it almost wasn't that way.
At Mobile World Congress 2010 they were announced as a hardware launch partner, but between then and the October launch nothing materialized. Sure we saw a prototype from time to time they were working on, but nothing for consumers to buy. It's been an elusive handset since then though, it only surfaces every blue moon in forums or tips. You could potentially own one though.
Surfing on over to eBay Netherlands you can bid and potentially own that very prototype. The Sony Ericcson Julie has been teasing us for over two and a half years. The eBay listing provides the following specs: 8MP camera, GSM Triband, unlocked, a version of Windows Phone with a May 2012 build date, 16GB of storage, and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. If you're feeling adventurous and want to potentially own a piece of Windows Phone history that almost was, head on over to eBay and place a bid down. These days, you're less and less likely to see a Windows Phone device from Sony, but it's an interesting idea and they have been making some good hardware lately.
While it would lack official support from Sony or Microsoft, this could be an interesting little device to play around with. Anybody interested in it?

Today the cheese is more well-known than the town, and not without reason. Made of cow's milk, this thick, sliceable blue has a fudgey texture and gentle blue bite. Not as sharp as Roquefort or as pungent as Stilton, Mountain Gorgonzola is a consistently delightful cheese that will convert even non-blue cheese eaters into fans. As it ages, the 14 lb drums of cheese are gently washed with a saltwater brine, allowing the cheese to stay moist and smooth. This also gives Mountain Gorgonzola its thin, pinkish-red rind. With its white interior laced with streaks of blue, Mountain Gorgonzola is an attractive table cheese and a savory ingredient in your favorite salad. Gorgonzola takes very well to fruits, especially figs and pears. Or try it the Italian way-– alone on a plate drizzled with honey.
