I was watching tv yesterday and came across a show that I always enjoy. It's about places to go and see in California. This link is about a lady who had parents that had Alzheimer's disease and how she dealt with the disease. Here is the link:

Kesha + Her Furry Friends Cause Trouble in 'C'Mon' Video
In her video for 'C'Mon,' pop music's resident bad girl Kesha plays a bleached blond, lollipop-sucking and sexually harassed waitress at the Awful House. Haha, get it. Waffle House. She's a wild child ready to break out of that restricting job in this vid.
Kesha looks like a mini Dolly Parton when she gets picked up by a van full of people dressed like mascots from amusement parks. They proceed to cause trouble -it's somewhat harmless, as they make a mess in a mini mart and at the Awful House.
It's what we expect from dirty girl Kesha, as she cavorts in heels, gets felt up by one of the costumed dancers, slinks around in a furry hot tub and winks seductively at the camera from start to finish. If she's trying to be outrageous and raise a few eyebrows in a silly way, she succeeded here.

I can't believe today is over and I didn't really get anything done, was it Monday already? When I say anything, I actually mean anything boring like bookwork, tidying up the store room or ringing around for quotes for the silk organza that I need. All these things need to be done pronto but I skillfully avoided doing any of them. Instead I did a little rearrange of some stock, took pictures of some of our braid collection and new stock, and spent at least an hour looking through my neighbour's new copy of the fabulous Pirelli Calenders by Thames and Hudson.
Fab 60s, 70s and 80s trim
More fab 60s, 70s and 80s trim
Some of these are older, 50s and 60s
We loooove these vintage Italian cotton flowers
New extra wide vintage moire ribbon, guipure lace motifs, silk milliners fur, extra wide broderie anglaise and lovely vintage pink silk for our new lingerie bags.
Basket of yarns (flea market find), I bought them for display. I think they may have been for carpet manufacturing and are too scratchy to use, but the colours were so great I couldn't resist.
I really loved this series of photos from the 70s very grainy and diffused, the colors and the styling are beautiful. It's a great book, if you want to find it try Borders/Thames and Hudson.
Tomorrow I will do my other jobs, promise.

By Weiyi Zhao
Tell us about your current career position.I am an associate professor and chair of the department of chemistry at Spelman College. As chair, daily administrative tasks include advising, overseeing the budget and developing the course schedule within the department. I also work as an advocate for faculty and students and work collaboratively with my colleagues to ensure that we continue to offer a rigorous curriculum that prepares future scientists. As associate professor, I serve as a teacher, scholar and mentor. The courses I teach are organic and medicinal chemistry. My research involves the design, synthesis and biological analysis of anticancer drugs. I have mentored individuals of various backgrounds, disciplines and education levels, including K – 12. I strive to expose people to the beauty and versatility of chemistry and to nurture the potential of women of color interested in pursuing a degree in chemistry. What are the key experiences and decisions you made that have helped you reach your current position?Participating in an undergraduate research project was instrumental in my decision to pursue a career in research. As I shared my interest with my professors, they were able to help me focus my interest and select an appropriate career path. In graduate school, I found myself committed to the success of other African-American students. Each year, as the next one entered the program, I became his or her unsolicited mentor. It soon became evident that I had an enormous passion for mentoring and helping others succeed. I believe this was a defining moment in my life, as I eventually became a college professor. How did you first become interested in science?As a preteen, I was obsessed with trying to improve consumer products. My interests included developing lotions that would last longer than the walk to the bus stop, creating acne remedies that worked before the beginning of the next school term, mixing various colors to create the perfect hue of red and evaluating the effectiveness of stain removers. All of my early projects were epic fails. Nevertheless, I entered high school with a firm passion for chemistry. During a career-day presentation, a presenter talked about his job creating new medicines and improving old medicines. He was a chemist, a pharmaceutical chemist to be exact. His presentation was fascinating, and it solidified my passion for chemistry. Were there times when you failed at something you felt was critical to your path? If so, how did you regroup and get back on track?Failure is part of the process. It was important for me to keep this in mind. I have failed in areas that I thought would mean the end of my career aspirations. It was my faith in God that allowed me to overcome my disappointment, address what went wrong and move on. Remembering what I was trying to accomplish and placing the situation in perspective helped me identify how to move beyond the failures. What advice would you give to young persons from underrepresented backgrounds who want to pursue careers in science similar to yours?Learn all you can, experience all you can and go for it. Find programs that allow you to get hands-on experience in science. If you are young, this may mean going to a science museum or a science summer camp. If you are a high-school student, check your local colleges for research and apprenticeship opportunities. For college and graduate students, I would say to take advantage of any global opportunities that are available (study travel, study abroad, service learning, etc.). Seek research opportunities that will allow you to explore different types of research environments (government, industrial and academic). By all means, become a member of the professional organizations in your field. It is important, regardless of the career choice, that you have a mentor in the field. He or she can provide invaluable guidance in your chosen field. What are your hobbies?Traveling, reading nonacademic literature and trying new activities – zip-lining, hiking, boxing, dancing, painting. What was the last book you read?"Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America" by Melissa V. Harris-Perry, "Changing Forward: Experiencing God's Unlimited Power" by Bishop Paul Morton, and "Searching for Tina Turner" by Jacqueline E. Luckett. Do you have any heroes, heroines or role models? If so, describe how they have influenced you.My mom is my hero and greatest inspiration. She exemplifies courage under fire. She is beautiful, resilient, dedicated and loving. She has a drive and a work ethic that is impossible to keep up with. What is it that keeps you working hard and studying science every day?I'm a doodler. However, I don't draw fancy letters or cartoons; I draw molecules. I have countless journals filled with compounds. For each, I am eager to develop a synthesis for their preparation and to conduct computational studies to determine their potential utility. It is exciting to envision molecules that could potentially impact so many lives. As previously stated, my research focuses on cancer drug development. Many cancers disproportionately impact the African-American community in comparison to other populations. I am dedicated to finding ways to reduce this disparity. Finally, I love being in a position to nurture and influence future scientists. Working hard allows me to be the best possible example for my students. My hope is that, in seeing my success, they will be inspired to excel in their own right.

President's Awards for Distinguished Teaching recognize the teaching excellence in the university community. Each winner of the teaching award receives a $5,000 grant contributed by the Memorial University Alumni Association.
As one of Memorial's Distinguished Teachers for 2002, Mr. Andrews is receiving one of the most prestigious awards that Memorial bestows on its faculty members. Mr. Andrews, a professor of biology in Grenfell's environmental science program, has been a college faculty member since 1976, one year after the college was founded.
Over the last quarter century he has consistently proven the effectiveness of his teaching. In addition to being extremely well organized, Mr. Andrews is genuinely enthusiastic and interested in what he teaches.
"This enthusiasm always manages to rub off on his classes, so that many students in turn develop a passion and interest for biology," said Dr. Georg Gunther, head of science at Grenfell. "Ed also has a keen and genuine interest in his students as individuals. This has been a dominant theme over the years, and students have repeatedly expressed their realization and appreciation of this fact. To me, this is perhaps the single most important quality of any outstanding teacher, and it is a quality that no amount of education or professional development will provide - the genuine interest in the student."
Mr. Andrews also has an interest in computer-assisted pedagogy which eventually led him to his secondment to the position of the first manager of Computing and Communications. His interest in IT and software eventually helped build the IT infrastructure at Grenfell College.
For past decade or so Professor Andrews has been involved with the Association for Biology Laboratory Education (ABLE). He served for two terms on the board of directors and most recently held a three-year position as editor of the ABLE publication Labstracts. One of his lasting contributions to the association was overseeing the conversion of Labstracts from a standard print publication to a Web-based format.
"He has taught a generation of students, opening the minds of many to the wonders of the biological sciences," said Dr. Gunther.
Simply put, Professor Andrews has accomplished much of this because of an elementary belief of his: "Good teachers are always learning."
Jean Guthrie, an associate professor in the Department of English, is one of this year's recipients of the Distinguished Teaching Award. Ms. Guthrie received her MA (hons.) in English Literature and Latin from the University of Edinburgh along with a master's in Latin from McMaster University. She has also studied at Moray House in Edinburgh and Purdue University.
"The undergraduate courses I most enjoy teaching are writing courses," said Ms. Guthrie, who has been teaching at Memorial since 1968. "But the name is misleading. We read, we write, we talk, we listen, we write again. Students are thinking and writing about ideas and values, and about the forms and patterns they are given in writing. "I believe the best teaching of English brings together the love of language chosen and shaped to speak eloquently of human experience; and the desire and know-how to guide developing writers."
A former English student, Debra Gill, said "Professor Guthrie has been a positive, driving force in my life for the past several years. Due to Professor Guthrie's incredible teaching methods it was during the 2010 course that I found my voice, my confidence and my goal for the future." In 1994, Ms. Guthrie along with Dr. Phyllis Artiss, Dr. Penny Hansen (Medicine), Dr. Michael Collins (Biology), and Dr. Clar Doyle (Education) developed the Graduate Program in Teaching (GPT) in order to strengthen both graduate and undergraduate education at Memorial. The GPT is a one-semester, non-credit course that introduces graduate students to the art of university teaching. Participants come from all faculties and departments of the university.
"Jean Guthrie has that most enviable of traits - innate and genuine tolerance, not the studied kind," said John Kenney, mature student. "She treated everyone in class not just as equals, but also as equally significant; she was obviously blind to ageism, and all other isms."
In collaboration with Dr. William Barker, Ms. Guthrie has published on Renaissance pedagogy and Alciato's emblems; and she has presented papers on the teaching of writing at local, national and international meetings. "I want my classroom to be a place of respectful and exhilarating exchange where I learn from students as well as the other way around," said Ms. Guthrie.

Similar to kite, you would hook in to cruise around, and unhook to hit the sliders, kickers, etc... Crazy idea?

In general, at this time of year, these teams carry enormous rosters while waiting for more established big leaguers to turn up in November. These teams are not built around development, but winning thus they will keep the young guys on a very short leash. If a player does not produce, he will be sent home.
- In his first nine games for the Bravos de Margarita, 3B Wilmer Flores is hitting .324/.425/.471 for the Bravos de Margarita in the Venezuelan Winter League. He has three extra-base knocks, five walks and three whiffs. That's all good stuff, but he's also committed three errors, all at third base, in his nine games.
- Jordany Valdespin has played two games at second base and four in rightfield for the Tigres del Licey in the Domincan Winter League while hitting .400/.500/.750 with a double, two homers, four walks and two strikeouts in his six games so far.
Low Playing Time Position Guys in the DWL
The following guys are on rosters, but are not playing very much at all.
- Juan Lagares - Aguilas Cibaenas - 0-for-1
- Jefry Marte - Toros del Este - 0-for-1
- Francisco Pena - Aguilas Cibaenas - 3-for-11, 2 HR, 1 SB (!)
- Aderlin Rodriguez - Gigantes del Cibao - 0-for-1
The Mets have relatively few pitchers in the Caribbean leagues at the moment.
- Gonzalez Germen - Toros del Este - DWL - did not retire a batter while giving up a run on three hits in his only appearance.
- Elvin Ramirez - Gigantes del Cibao - DWL - gave up a run on two hits in his only inning of work.
- Armando Rodriguez - Leones del Escogido - DWL has 1.2 scoreless innings of relief work to his credit.

Le Grand Prix de [small French town]. Thankfully, I rode the circuit first, and thankfully they wouldn't let me race Elite 1,2 and 3! Because I had only just registered with their association they made me ride 4 and 5. Police outriders at a local amateur race, a beautiful course, 10 laps making just fewer than 50k. Cat 4 and 5. Sounded do-able.
How did it go?
How can I put it?
Basically, I got raped. By 40 angry Frenchman. For an hour. Over and over again, whilst a new friend (the French cyclist who invited me to the race after giving me directions to go training earlier that week) laughed at my suffering. He said he hadn't been that entertained all year.
On the rolling section the peloton averaged 50kmph. From kilometer 0. Seriously.
Some wad attacked on the first lap, got about 20 meters on the peloton, and then we groveled for a lap, trying to rein him in. And as soon as we had, someone else goes (actually it was mostly the original wad attacking again and getting others to do the same), we rein them in, then someone else, and so-on and so-forth. By about lap 4 (I really had forgone the ability to count by now) I felt the inevitable happening. I was slipping back through the peloton. Losing wheels each time every fucker and his dog stepped on the gas at the top of the climb. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the first to get dropped. Surely someone else couldn't take this punishment for much longer too?
So as soon as I see the old boy next to me start to shake his head, I am onto him like a flash. My new best friend. Please Granddad, give it up. I'll keep you company. It'll be our own little grupetto. We can share our horror stories, tell each other about the injuries that have held us back today. Now I did say he was old, maybe mid 50s if I am being generous to myself, but fuck he was stubborn. Every time I saw a gap ahead of him, I thought, "great we can relax now, and I can shake my head disapprovingly, point and blame you for being dropped". But no, he would summon up something from his leathery, ox like thighs and back on we would get. More pain, more racing heart, more burning lungs, more fucking lunacy. Why am I doing this? I am on holiday!
And then finally, it happens. He looks down at his gears (the eternal fail safe excuse for an impending crack), mutters something in French, shakes his head some more, and he's gone. I am not going to come last! Well, not if I can beat him up those cobbles at the end, or knock him off at least. I then have a bit of a second wind, inspired by my "victory" over a retired Frenchman, I manage to find a few more wheels for half a lap, a few more dropped, and then I am done. I wait for a nice stretch of road with no spectators, and I gratefully sit up and wait for the stragglers, and hope they haven't got too much fight left in them.
But of course they do. And actually there are quite a few I hadn't seen. About 12 of us. So I spend the rest of the race trying not to get dropped by some other losers, and suffering the indignity of the final police outrider laughing at my pain, and then finally we hear the bell. Should I go early? Hope to give myself a head start for the monster at the end? I give it a go. I fail. I give it another go. I fail again. Fuck it guys, we are racing for last! I am a tourist. Give me a break! So I sit in, try to save myself. And I needed to. Then end was brilliant. One of the funniest and craziest things I have seen in a bike race. Guys just stopping dead halfway up the finish. Guys walking. Guys running. Guys falling. Shouts of "putain" and "merde" filled the pretty little street on the lord's day, accompanied by the childlike, joyful laughter of the spectators. There were still remnants of the main peloton struggling up it when i got there. I was in the 27", took it easy and I thought to myself, If I don't have to get off, I won't come last.
And I didn't.
As I coughed up what felt like the remnants of a lung, I flopped over the finish line, into the village square, received a kiss on both cheeks from a beautiful French girl as she put my finisher's garland round my neck, and then found a nice corner to throw up in. It was fucking brilliant. Insane but brilliant. I can never return to racing in the UK with any real enthusiasm now. I had forgotten how well the French do all this. Every weekend! I had spent too long away from it. Too long. When i got home, after a two hour "nap", I began persuading my fiancée that we would be spending three months every year back in France so I could race "properly" again. Thankfully she had found the whole experience so funny, she was easily persuaded.

Following is the abstract of a research paper by a team of University of Nevada/Whittemore Peterson Institute researchers. The paper will be presented May 9 to immunologists gathered in Baltimore at Immunology 2010™ by UN/WPI lead author Isabel Barao-Silvestre.
[Note: Degranulation is release of microbe-toxic molecules from granules found inside some immune cells, including Natural Killer cells.] ______________________________________
Characterization of the therapeutic increases in Natural Killer (NK) activity of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV)-positive chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients effected by poly (I): poly (C12U) (Ampligen) – Source: May 9 Presentation, Immunology 2010™
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disease of unknown etiology that affects ~17 million people worldwide. Patients suffer persistent viral infections and may develop hematopoietic malignancies. The patients have reduced Natural Killer (NK) cell activities which could contribute to the diseases, and, if restored, potentially reduce symptoms.
We characterized the in vitro effects on NK cells of the interferon inducer poly (I): poly (C12U) (Ampligen) which in some CFS patients abates disease symptoms.

The 30 CFS patients were infected with the gammaretrovirus xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV).
We cultured their peripheral blood mononuclear cells with the drug for 24 hrs and monitor NK activity to K562 cells by flow cytometry, concurrently measuring degranulation by externalization of CD107a, and expression of Grz B and perforin.
Treatment markedly increased CD107a externalization in the NK cell population as indicated by 5-fold increases in CD107a-positive cell frequencies and 3-fold increases in their CD107a MFI, with slight positive shifts in intracellular Grz B and perforin.
In contrast, T cells showed little change in CD107a externalization.
Our results suggest that degranulation rates may be more affected than the levels of cytotoxic proteins, indicating a novel mechanism by which NK activity was affected by the drug.
The increase in degranulation per NK cell indicates a mechanism by which Ampligen treatment can improve NK cell function.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -- Backers of California's ambitious high-speed rail project will begin their hard sell with lawmakers and the public on Monday with the release of their final business plan, which details the costs, financing and construction.
The plan was nearly derailed last fall after a draft plan said the project's cost had more than doubled to $98 billion. The latest plan, to be formally released at a train depot in Fresno, lowers that price to $68.4 billion, expands the initial segment and accelerates the construction schedule. Winning over skeptical lawmakers will be the authority's next challenge.
"We feel good that we've addressed a lot of the public concerns," said Dan Richard, chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority. "We feel this is a very, very reasonable and workable path forward for the state."
The new business plan trims $30 billion off the price tag the authority announced just five months ago but describes a project that is still $25 billion more than voters approved in 2008.
Gov. Jerry Brown will make the case for the rail project when he asks the Legislature in the coming weeks to appropriate $2.3 billion in rail bonds to begin constructing the first phase by year's end.
Brown ordered the board to rethink its previous proposal as polls showed a majority of voters would like to reconsider the $9 billion in startup funding they authorized for the network four years ago.
The updated plan relies heavily on improving existing rail lines in urban areas instead of building dedicated track the whole way. The first segment would link the northern San Joaquin Valley to the San Fernando Valley by 2022, expanding on what originally had been proposed as a 130-mile Madera-to-Bakersfield section that critics had lampooned as a "train to nowhere."
Nearly $2 billion in upgrades would be made to existing commuter rail lines in the state's urban corridors.
The so-called "blended" system would still move travelers from Los Angeles' Union Station to the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco in two hours and 40 minutes at speeds up to 220 mph, as voters were promised when they authorized the bullet train system, Richard said.
Eventually, riders will not have to change trains when riding between San Francisco and Los Angeles, he said.
"Every step of the way, we will be connected to something and be able to improve service in the intermediate level while building out" a bigger system, Richard said of the "blended system."
Officials said the system would turn a profit even with lower ridership numbers in the revised plan.
A summary of the plan released to The Associated Press says that getting the first segment built within 10 years and expected positive cash flow will serve as a "launching pad" for private investment in the construction and operation of the full system.
The new plan also assumes an additional $4 billion from the federal government over the next 10 years, despite significant congressional opposition. The state already is expected to receive $3.5 billion in federal money if it breaks ground before the end of the year.
The bulk of the remaining cost would come from fares and private financing, with any shortfall bridged by tapping into California's new industrial "cap-and-trade" program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Critics say the numbers still won't pencil out, although they hadn't seen the revised proposal.
Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana Point, Assembly Republicans' point person on the high-speed rail issue, said the authority's changing plans should lead lawmakers to block the sale of the bonds for the project.
"The entire high-speed rail project needs to go back to the drawing board," she said.

ETBU Board of Trustees Approve New Academic Program
MARSHALL, Texas (1/18/13)- The 36-member East Texas Baptist University Board of Trustees met today for its first meeting of 2013. The first order of business was the annual reorganization, which includes the seating of Trustees for service and the official beginning of Board activities for the year.
Trustee officers for the year include Board Chair Sam Moseley, attorney from Marshall, who presided over the meeting; Vice Chair David Anderson of Carthage, County Judge of Panola County; and Board Secretary Bill Runnels of Atlanta, retired Texas Department of Transportation engineer.
"What a great year ETBU had celebrating its Centennial in 2012. The momentum of the past year is propelling the University to continue educating tomorrow's leaders with relevant academic programs," said Moseley. "The Board of Trustees is committed to providing leadership to keep ETBU one of the leading Christian universities in the nation."
A new academic program, a Bachelor of Science in Political Science degree, with concentrations in Pre-Law and Governance, was approved by the Board. The traditional Bachelor of Arts in Political Science major is still viable, and the new degree program will provide added flexibility and options for interested students. The program will attract students wanting immediate employment after graduation or advancement to further training at the graduate level. The Department of History and Political Science and the School of Humanities in collaboration with the Fred M. Hale School of Business developed the new program.
Trustees approved the 2013-2014 tuition and fee schedule. The tuition increase of 5% for 2013-2014 is the second lowest in five years. The 2013-2014 University Calendar was approved, which includes a Fall Break for the first time in several years.
"East Texas Baptist University is strong, and our Board and the faculty, staff, and administration are all working together to assist in the growth of our University and the fulfillment of our mission," remarked Dr. Dub Oliver, ETBU President. "It is gratifying to have the opportunity to serve with such committed and talented colleagues."
In other action, Dr. Sandy Hoover was granted a promotion from the rank of Assistant Professor to Associate Professor of History and Dr. Cassie Falke, Associate Professor of English and Director of the University Scholars Program, was approved for a sabbatical leave to occur during the Spring 2014 semester.
The Board of Trustees seated four new members at this meeting. The new members are Marcus L. Hunt of Birmingham, Alabama, attorney/owner with the Duell/Hunt Law Firm; Sergio A. Ramos of Grand Prairie, Director of Expansion and Development for Buckner International; Dr. Merilyn G. Session of Lufkin, Early College High School Principal, PARAMUS High School@ Pineywoods Community Academy; and David Sherzer of Coppell, Senior Manager, Communications and Executive Operations Reata Pharmaceuticals. Hunt and Ramos are alumni of ETBU.
The next scheduled board meeting is May 3, 2013.

I'm interested in hearing your opinion about this new law here in the U.S. Are you...
1) Totally for it.
2) For it, but would like to see some parts repealed.
3) Totally against it and would like to see the system remain the same as before the law.
4) Totally against it but would like to see something else in its place.
5) Don't care... Shut it... Next!
I think I covered all the possible categories. But if you don't like them, let me know what you think. Personally, I'm #4.

So right now, we already pay for people who don't have health insurance. Whether it is because they are irresponsible or poor we spend 18% of our income on healthcare when our competition doesn't pay more than 11.8%. We pay so much because there are so many people who don't have it, because they can't afford it or they have a pre existing conditions.
The new healthcare bill gets rid of insurance companies being allowed to discriminate.
Those are the facts and those facts lead me to be FOR the mandate. At some point in EVERY HUMAN BEINGS life they WILL need healthcare for one reason or another.
However if there was such a person on the planet he or she would be the ONLY person I would not feel needed to be mandated to have healthcare...lol
Yes I am ok with that and here is why:
Healthcare isn't only based on your personal lifestyle and behavior but the lifestyle and behavior of your neighbors. I wish it was contingent on my own personal choices but the fact is, it is not.
If your neighbor loses their home the price of your home is devalued... even though you've never missed a payment and you are a responsible homeowner. That's just the way it is...Healthcare is no different.
I don't like the idea but hey FREEDOM ISN'T FREE right?
Currently, my insurance premiums go up every year. Not because my employer pays less and less but because there are people who use the emergency room as their healthcare, (the MOST EXPENSIVE AVENUE)then they can't pay the bill or don't. Guess who gets to pay with that?
However, the health and well being of others isn't my only concern, the economic future of this country is also a huge factor. The way healthcare is right now is counterproductive to economic progress.
Its math! And one of the reasons I love math is because it isn't based on opinion there is nothing you can do to manipulate the outcome.It is what it is... A number is a number is a number. The numbers say MANDATE is better! :)
Did I answer this time?? lol
I respect your opinion on the matter and I somewhat see your point of view, however it's based on a very unrealistic point of view.
Nara Nay,
I do very much appreciate we can disagree with cordiality. What a joyous change of pace!
I find it to be most unfortunate this stinky argument persists:
"We pay so much because there are so many people who don't have it, because they can't afford it or they have a pre existing conditions." and "Currently, my insurance premiums go up every year. Not because my employer pays less and less but because there are people who use the emergency room as their healthcare, (the MOST EXPENSIVE AVENUE)then they can't pay the bill or don't. Guess who gets to pay with that?"
I cannot stress enough how much that is Absolutely Not True.
The reason your insurance premiums go up every year is wholly due to the existence of insurance companies within the healthcare industry. All the money that could go to healthcare providers is redirected to pay for administrative costs and PROFIT for private insurance companies. If everyone that has insurance would cancel his/her policy, the entire healthcare industry would have to adjust prices down in competition to provide services. And, all that money everyone would have been paying in premiums would go directly to the providers also driving prices down. I would hope you might consider utilizing your love of math to calculate the costs when removing insurance companies' "take" from the equation. You might be surprised. LOL
I'll throw an analogy out there for consideration in response to Susan and Write4U. Hugs
I don't get it. Wouldn't opting out make things more expensive for the government?
You have re-stated my position precisely. How superb! Your attention to detail is beyond excellent. Furthermore, your writing style is intelligently honed. Thank you very much.
Susan, I responded to Nara Nay, but that response is for your question as well. You have asked a very popular question - what I believe is the main concern which has given us this new healthcare bill.
I don't know if you like analogies, but here is one I hope might shed some light on the root cause of healthcare costs. If nothing else, maybe it'll be fun to read. :)
All of us are in a room with a large grizzly bear. On the wall is a panel with a dumb waiter. Every so often the panel opens and dispenses food for everyone. The grizzly is quite aggressive and very hungry. Each time the panel opens, some of the people in the room give food to it to make it happy. Some people do not give food to the bear. Over time, the bear learns how to be nice to those giving it food, allowing them free access to the panel. But the bear becomes more aggressive towards those not giving it food. The ones not giving it food have a harder and harder time getting to the panel - they get less food.
As time goes by, the people feeding the bear see the starving people and (while also continuing to feed the bear) give up the portions they get to the starving people.
Eventually, this gets out of hand. The people feeding the bear feel they are handling the situation properly (controlling it) and have become the ones responsible for keeping everyone fed. These people see the ones not feeding the bear as the "problem".
A decision is made by the bear feeders: Everyone Must Feed The Bear! The bear will be happy and nice to everyone. All will get food.
A few questions:
Why is there a bear in the room? Why do we have to feed it? It eats a LOT. Why haven't we simply opened the door and coaxed it out so everyone can have access to the panel without fear and even share the food the bear was getting?
Thanks for reading. I hope it goes without saying who the bear is. :O
If you mean private insurance companies then I agree. That is why I , along with some others on here, think we should have nationalized insurance. Though you public fund that your are and Write4U have been discussing is also intriguing. Being the daughter of a doctor and having one in another group, I know the headache the insurance companies can be. It would be better all around without them.
The reason that health care in America is so expensive is that so many people in America work in the healthcare industry. In other words, health care is a huge engine of employment and revenue. If health care were to be made "more efficient", either by government intervention or market-forces, lots of people working in the industry would lose their jobs, and lots of businesses would lose revenue. Therefore there ar tremendously motivated engrained interests preventing "reform" of health care beyond superficial palliatives.
The idea of "insurance" is that the customer makes regular payments to the insurer and the insurer pockets those payments so long as nothing goes wrong. When something finally does go wrong, the insurer reimburses the customer for his/her loss. This works fine when the item to be insured is valuable and the likelihood of damage is minor. A good example is home insurance against fire. But health care treatment is a matter of regularly tending to something to not merely goes wrong, but requires extensive preventative maintenance - the human body. The concept of insurance is invalid for maintenance and occasional tending of something. It only works for fixing big and rare problems. True healthcare reform will change how we pay for health care from an insurance-model to some completely different alternative. Attempts at reform from within, that retain the insurance model, are doomed to abject failure.
You raise some good points. The existing HC industry is for this bill because it appeases a system of which they have already become accustomed. The idea that a doctor may have to return to the days of taking a chicken as payment scares the hell out of them. Not that that is what an alternative system outlawing private health insurance would do. But it does expose the true motivations of the existing healthcare administrators. They can make more money WITH the existence of private insurance than without it. And who has to pay for all that extra?
Brings me back to the point that this bill only has the potential of stabilizing High costs. In no way can it bring Down the high costs of healthcare. The word "affordable" is a subjective definition where the Baby Boomers can continue to "afford" the existing high costs with all their pension plans and money they've earned over the decades during good economies. The younger generation are the ones getting screwed here... paying now for some "promise" by private insurance in the future. Unbelievable !!!
"More efficient" includes, among other things...
- fewer middlemen
- less administration
- lower pay for medical providers ($800,000 year for a surgeon???)
- less emphasis on expensive care that prolongs life of terminally ill patients by 2 more weeks (HUGE cost driver right now)
- remove the medical profession from its pedestal and treat medical doctors just like another other professional (such as engineers)
- fewer tests/drugs/procedures prescribed for doctors to cover their ass in case of malpractice suits
- tort reform
- ....
Marc Green,
The dropping of people when they get sick was one of the legitimate issues the bill did cover so if it were repealed that would need to be in any new bill. I was not saying it allowed people to be dropped.
It also covers preexisting conditions but I think a more well thought out approach to the issue should be taken.
Also people should be allowed to purchase insurance across state lines, any reasonable sized company can handle the differences in health care laws between states and act accordingly.
You are correct. I did not mean to imply you thought the bill would allow people to be dropped. My apologies if it sounded that way. And I think you are absolutely correct about the state lines issue. How in the world did that ever become SOP?
I'm very much for it! However like others here have said I would like to see a public option.
I am not of the mind that the President "caved". I understand how government works. I also understand the new Republican Party is so bat crap crazy they will do anything to make President Obama a one term President.
That is why a lot of red states didn't take the stimulus money.
It wasn't because they have integrity and feel they are above taking "government handouts".
It was because they knew without government money, teachers, police fire fighters and other public sector jobs would be cut! If the public sector suffered the economy stabilizes at a slower rate. If the economy stabilizes at a slower rate people will get angry. When angry people vote they vote against their best interest....they vote REPUBLICAN.
Unfortunately the propaganda machine is huge! They tell religious people that the healthcare bill is for people to have abortions!
Then they go and tell people who may be taking care of their elderly parents/grandparents that there will be death panels (Sarah Palin I'm talking about you!)
You get my point? So it's up to us to BE educated and informed.
Fact check EVERYTHING! Then…VOTE VOTE VOTE!
So please do not blame the President. The President needs a congress that is willing to work with him and for the best interest of the people NOT their pockets!
Now with this Citizens United crap that virtually said money = votes. So now regular folks like me and the other 99% have no voice while millionaires and billionaires make their money count!
And that is the disgusting reality!

Current version
Joaquin Tarraga, 01/16/2013 01:03 pm
Documentation will finished in a few days, we are sorry for the inconvenience.
- Introduction
- Documentation
- Technical information
HPG Aligner is an ultrafast and highly sensitive Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) read mapping. Many of current solutions for read mapping in NGS work well in a few scenarios, some work well for short reads but fail to map long reads, or viceversa, while others can map ungapped reads but no gapped reads, and others run very slow.
HPG Aligner has been designed to align short and long reads with high sensitivity, therefore any number of mismatches or indels are allowed. HPG Aligner implements to well known algorithms: Burows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) to speed-up mapping high-quality reads, and Smith-Waterman (SW) to increase sensitivity when reads cannot be mapped using BWT.
Both algorithms have been implemented taking advantage of new computing hardware such as multi-core CPUs, SIMD vectorized registers and GPUs, therefore a very high performance runtime is achieved with a low memory footprint.
HPG Aligner has been designed to work with three alignment modes:
- dna: for DNA reads mapping
- rna: RNA-seq mapping
- bs (under development right now): BS-seq mapping
A fourth command build-index is available to build the indexes for BWT.
Main goals are:
- to develop a highly sensitive NGS read mapper, many of current solutions fail to map reads containing many mismatches, indels or introns
- to implement a High-Performance Computing (HPC) solution that performs very fast with a low memory footprint, to achieve this, we make use of multi-core CPUs, SIMD registers and GPUs
- to provide to the community with a open source solution where more people can contribute to the software development through a Gitorius server
- ...
Main features¶
Getting started¶
This sections cover how to obtain the binary and dependencies, information about how to build indexes is also provided. Running a first example is also explained.
You can download the binary for GNU/Linux Ubuntu.
Or, if you want to build the binary from the source code, then:
- Download tar file containing the source code,
- Before building the hpg-aligner binary, you have to install the following libraries:
- cprops library (http://cprops.sourceforge.net/)
- samtools library (http://samtools.sourceforge.net/)
- tar xvfz hpg-aligner.tar.gz
- cd hpg-aligner
- scons
After executing scons command, in the directory bin there will be the binary hpg-aligner
To explore the general information, installation and command line interface (CLI) options you can visit:
Worked example¶
This section will cover how to perform a basic NGS alignment.
Technical information¶
Obtaining and building the software¶
Architecture and benchmarks results of different modes:¶
Detailed information about the architecture and benchmarks of different command modes. Although HPG Aligner pipeline is very similar between different modes, some differences exist. Some benchmarks results are presented.
Exome and genomic DNA mapping, dna mode¶
RNA-seq mapping, rna mode¶
Under development, it is scheduled for version 2.

Due to YouTube finally killing their flash-based player, the embedded YouTube videos on the forum no longer work. We are looking to resolve the issue soon.
However, YouTube is at least kind enough to provide a link to the video so it can be watched on YouTube itself, so in the mean time, you'll have to use that until we can get a new YouTube embed code plugin installed.

One aspect of game design that many people point to when wailing about the lack of difficulty in many games these days is the save system. Older games, they argue, doled out saves like precious gems, and thus made the whole experience much more challenging. 'Where's the difficulty when you can save wherever and whenever you want?' However, as designer David Sirlin argues in a Gamasutra article, this is a false dichotomy: "We can allow the player to stop playing without excessive penalty and make a challenging game. It's just a matter of defining what 'saving' actually means." In short, there are plenty of examples of challenging games that don't punish the player for having other things going on in their life that don't allow for structuring a day around gaming:
A save system should allow the player to stop playing at any time, allow the player to pick up where he or she left off with as close to zero replaying as possible, and save as automatically and seamlessly as possible, so the player will not forget to do it. Saving should be treated as one of the player's natural rights, not an earned privilege or a game mechanic around which to make strategic decisions. The design space we have to create new games is so unthinkably large that we lose virtually nothing by restricting ourselves to designs with friendly save game systems that don't presume to override the real-life needs of players.
I usually wind up gaming on the fly — a little bit here, a little bit there — and the inability to save 'meaningful' progress quickly is one of those things that irks me. I sometimes resort to leaving my console on, wondering the whole time I'm out of the house if the damn thing is going to overheat and my house, possessions, and dog are going to go up in flames; I don't really need to be punished because I can't schedule my day around gaming. It's an interesting article and rebuttal to some of the 'difficulty discussions' that have been going on lately — Sirlin pretty successfully argues his point that making save systems that don't punish the player for having to put the game down aren't (necessarily) to blame for the lack of difficulty people are grousing about.

There's been a lot of chest thumping of late by SAP and Oracle regarding their fledgling in-memory products, Hana and Exalytics.
SAP has been confidently claiming that its Hana in-memory database will quickly steal database market share that it took Oracle decades to win. It will start with SAP Business Warehouse (BW) deployments, the company says, and by the end of this year, once Hana gains the ability to run core enterprise applications, Hana will start invading the transactional database market.
Oracle's Larry Ellison and Safra Catz have missed few opportunities to discredit Hana in recent months. But executive VP Thomas Kurian took the slams a level deeper on Friday with a one-hour Webinar clearly intended to sow seeds of fear, uncertainty and doubt in the minds of would-be Hana customers. The session was billed as an Exalytics seminar, but each point set up a contrast with Hana. Kurian claimed, among other things, that SAP's product costs five times to 50 times more than Exalytics and that it doesn't support SQL (relational) or MDX (multidimensional) query languages, requiring apps to be rewritten to run on the new database.
[ Want more on SAP's latest moves? Read SAP Launches Attack On Database, Mobile App Markets. ]
So what's the truth behind all these claims and counter claims? SAP database executive Steve Lucas posted a blog on Monday rebutting most of Oracle's claims, and also I spent some time with SAP's CTO, Vishal Sikka, and Gartner analyst Don Feinberg on some of the technical points, as I'll detail below. But first a bit of background.
SAP has always said customers will be free to choose whatever database they want, but the company is counting on Hana's in-memory performance to catapult it to a leading position in the database market. The advantages of in-memory technology are well documented, but SAP has bigger ambitions for the technology than any other vendor. With Hana, the goal is to support "transformational" business advantage, not just faster queries.
Gas and electric utility Centrica, for example, uses a Hana-based app to capture and analyze the massive amount of data generated by smart meters. With real-time analysis of usage as frequently as every 15 minutes (rather than just monthly totals), Centrica has a clearer understanding of usage by neighborhood, the size of the homes or businesses, building types and other dimensions.
Centrica also can exploit Hana's performance to interact with customers in new ways. The utility can change consumption patterns by, for example, creating tailored discounts to encourage specific customers (particularly big commercial customers) to shift their energy consumption to off-peak hours. Efficiency programs can target specific customers segments identified though fine-grained analysis. And to help customers help themselves, the utility can give customers insight into their energy usage patterns with online and mobile tools that track changes in real time, so they can see their energy loads in specific operating modes. That's not something you can achieved with daily batch updates into a conventional data warehouse.
SAP now has nearly a dozen of these new applications designed specifically for Hana, including sales and operations planning, cash and liquidity management, and, for retail, trade-promotion management and merchandising and assortment management. SAP has couple dozen more apps in development. In some cases apps fitting these descriptions already existed, but they've been redesigned to take advantage of what SAP calls "real, real-time" -- meaning you can take action based one what's happening now, not what happened yesterday or a few hours or even minutes ago.
SAP's hype about these apps is getting a little ahead of deployed market reality. Both Hana and Oracle Exalytics can point to dramatic before-and-after differences in query speeds. (Even SAP grants that Exalytics can accelerate queries.) SAP says the real payoff from Hana will be in transforming business processes, not just accelerating queries. But we haven't seen enough solid, real-world customer examples documenting transformed business competitiveness.
SAP recently offered a handful of customer examples, including Centrica (mentioned above), Aqualectra (another utility), Medidata (a SaaS-based service firm that helps big pharmaceutical companies run clinical trials), and an unnamed Japanese retailer. But the summary stories were loaded with platitudes like, "Hana helps us bring our customers new efficiencies that they never even dreamed of." Okay, like what?
If I'm spending big bucks, I want rich details about tangible competitive advantage. Hana became generally available last summer, and early ramp-up customers were quoted at SAP's Sapphire event last year. So it's time to start hearing about the detailed case examples and testimonials. I'm hoping that happens at Sapphire later this month.

I had the pleasure of dining at one of Oklahoma City's best restaurants for lunch last week. One of my good friends (who also happens to be a Little Leopard Book super fan) wanted me to try his favorite restaurant in the city. Lucky for me, he has great taste!
Cheevers OKC describes their menu as "contemporary comfort food", and from the dishes we devoured at lunch, I would say they are spot on with their description.
We started with the Bleu Cheese Potato Chips.
Two words: Sinfully. Delicious.
Their house cut potatoes are fried then topped with a creamy bleu cheese sauce, large chunks of blue cheese crumbles, crispy bacon and fresh green onions.
I'm lucky I was there with a friend or I probably would have eaten the entire bowl myself!
We also started with a cup of Chicken Tortilla Soup. My friend, the "chicken tortilla soup expert" said he has tried every chicken tortilla soup south of the Mason Dixon and this is the best around!
It was scrumptious. Large chunks of chicken, just the right amount of spice and no watered-down broth used just to fill the bowl (some restaurants do that! I know, it should be a crime, I agree!)
Next, we moved on to the main course, my friend and LLB super fan ordered the Five Spice Tilapia. If I had to guess the five spices I would say paprika, black pepper, cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper. This is purely an educated palate guess so don't quote me on it 😉
The tilapia was served on a Sweet Corn-Sun-Dried Tomato Masa Pancake and topped with Tequila Lime Sautéed Spinach, which seemed to be a trend on the menu because I ordered the Tequila Lime Shrimp Linguine.
The delicious shrimp was tossed in the linguine along with asparagus, corn and more crispy bacon (yum!)
Overall I'd say it was one delicious lunch and I'd recommend stopping by Cheever's if you live in or around Oklahoma City or if you happen to be passing through!
Visit Cheever's Cafe at 2409 North Hudson Avenue Oklahoma City, OK 73103. For other information visit their website at www.cheeverscafe.com.

Grape consumption continues to rise, a good sign for growers and shippers.
Sales of grapes have increased in the past year due to people eating more fresh produce as well as new varieties entering the market, said Dennis Christou, vice president of marketing for Del Monte Fresh Produce, Coral Gables, Fla.
David Espinoza, president and sourcing director for the new Charlotte, N.C.-based International Fruit Co., which markets Chiquita grapes, said the market for all grapes should be similar to last year"s.
"Grapes are top five on consumption, and the majority of the volume is between red and green seedless varieties," Espinoza said.
Since Chile often finishes early on green grapes, Miguel Suarez, owner of MAS Melons & Grapes in Rio Rico, Ariz., said North American buyers particularly pursue the first Mexican green grapes, especially perlettes.
"There"s a lot of pressure on the industry at the beginning of the season to pick grapes before they"re fully ripe just to get them on the shelves," he said.
"But that doesn"t do anybody any good."
Marc Serpa, director of domestic grapes for Vancouver, British Columbia-based The Oppenheimer Group, said varietal popularity during the 2012 spring grape season was somewhat regional.
Citing Freshlook Data from Fusion Marketing, Serpa said green grapes performed very well in California, red and green grapes were equally strong sellers in other Western states, and red grapes dominated most other areas.
Marketing tips
"To generate and maintain consumer interest in the grape category, offer attractive and visually striking displays and promotional pricing," said Tom Wilson, grape sales manager for Los Angeles-based Giumarra Companies.
Retailers should also maximize their merchandising efforts to drive impulse purchases of grapes, said Natalie Erlendson, marketing director for Bakersfield, Calif.-based Sun World International LLC.
To get grapes on shopping lists before consumers enter stores, follow these suggestions from the Perishables Group:
- Advertise multiple grape varieties in one ad
- For the highest category lift, advertise five varieties in the same ad (70% lift May-August)
- Promote grapes four to five times a month for category lift of up to 360%
- Promote grapes as a sweet and healthy snack food and
- Promote new varieties. Sun World says its Midnight Beauty grapes created a category sales lift of 21%.
Wilson said research shows consumers are willing to try black grapes when they"re displayed with red and green seedless varieties.
Serpa recommends silent-sampling several varieties to help shoppers choose.
Other suggestions include:
- Cross-merchandising with picnic favorites in June
- Telling the grower"s story using quick-response codes or point-of-sale materials to help connect the shopper to the producer
- Promoting the health message that grapes are loaded with nutrients and
- Tying grapes into healthy lifestyle cross-promotions in or near the pharmacy.

Chicago Fire 3, San Jose Earthquakes 2 | MLS Match Recap
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Two Chicago Fire gaffes kept the short-handed San Jose Earthquakes in Wednesday night's contest, but Mike Magee and Chris Rolfe linked up late to secure a 3-2 win for the Chicago Fire and maintain the team's push up the Eastern Conference standings.
The Fire almost gave away a lead created by Dilly Duka's goal and assist, but Magee's backdoor pass found Rolfe in the 84th minute to give Chicago their fourth win in five league games.
The Men in Red also extended their unbeaten streak in competitive games to nine, climbing to sixth in the Eastern Conference after beginning the season 2-7-1.
After a signature come-from-behind win on Saturday against Los Angeles, the Earthquakes lost for the fourth time in six matches, keeping them in eighth place in the Western Conference.
San Jose were missing five regular starters, due to suspensions, injury, and Gold Cup call-ups for leading scorer Chris Wondolowski, newly-signed center back Clarence Goodson, Nana Attakora and Marvin Chavez but managed to take an early lead.
OPTA Chalkboard: Larentowicz plugs up the midfield for Chicago
Alan Gordon opened the scoring in the 14th minute when he flicked a header just over Paolo Tornaghi, which knocked off the cross bar and straight back to Gordon for the easy putaway.
Chicago nearly responded immediately after when Duka collected a cross from Magee in the 17th minute, turned, and forced a reaction save out of Earthquakes goalkeeper Jon Busch, setting the tone for the Fire's first-half dominace.
And after causing problems for the Earthquakes down the left side of the field all half, Duka finally finished off a Gonzalo Segares cross in the 36th minute, bouncing a shot off the ground and over Busch.
The home side then picked up where they left off coming out of the break when, in the 47th minute, Duka played a cross to Patrick Nyarko, who beat Busch with a sliding finish to put the Fire ahead.
The Earthquakes woke up after falling behind, and put pressure on the Fire over large stretches of the second half. Two minutes after the goal, Gordon played a header to Rafael Baca inside the six yard box, but the Mexican-born midfielder couldn't find his finishing touch, and his shot dribbled wide.
Walter Martinez could have equalized in the 53rd minute when he teed up a shot inside the box, but Segares managed to deflect it out for a corner.
Despite their offensive outburst, San Jose needed another Chicago mistake to equalize. In the 72nd minute, Jalil Anibaba and Joel Lindpere deflected a San Jose corner kick past Tornaghi, who got the start in goal in place of US call-up Sean Johnson.
Twelve minutes later, though, Rolfe would find the finish that secured three points for Chicago.
Chicago will now host Kansas City on Sunday with a chance to climb to .500 for the first time this season. San Jose, meanwhile will head to New England on Saturday, when Shea Salinas (suspension) and Steven Lenhart (injury) should be a welcome sight in the lineup
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Dilly Duka
|Continued his electric running, netting a goal and a providing a fine assist as he causde problems for San Jose all night long
|Jeff Larentowicz
|Quietly dominant in the center of the park, making life difficult for San Jose's midfield and even testing Jon Busch a few times from distance
|Alan Gordon
|Netted his third goal in two games, showed good feet and a willingness to do defensive work. Would probably like a scuffed chance or two back, though

The Lumen staff understand the high standards and unique needs of law enforcement and are able to deliver a product that has benefits for all agency personnel.
We were tasked to find an individual at his home. The address we got was old, however, and he no longer lived there. A quick Lumen search from my MDC for his name showed me that he had a different address, but it only showed up in a narrative and had not been updated in his master name record. Thanks to Lumen, we were able to track him down.
"We were working on a domestic violence case with a stolen handgun. According to the victim, the suspect put the stolen handgun in the victim's mouth and pulled the trigger, but luckily, the gun did not fire.
We knew the circumstances surrounding the theft of the handgun, but did not know the specific case. I searched Lumen for cases involving some of the specifics of the case and within 30 seconds I was reading the theft case report from another agency.
This allowed us to validate the victim's side of the domestic violence story, help another agency solve a weapons theft, and charge a suspect."
I was working a graffiti case where the same tag had been seen repeatedly across the city. With Lumen, I was able to do a search for the tag and instantly see all of the incidents where it showed up. Reading through the results in Lumen, I figured out that an officer on an unrelated case had actually made contact with what was most likely our guy – his roommate mentioned that he was a tagger and even told the officer his tag. With that one search, we were able to close 36 cases. I even called up two other agencies whose cases showed up in my Lumen search and they were able to close out their cases also. This would have been impossible without Lumen.
