Your DNA Profile: The Identity You Can't Escape
by Ellen Butts and Joyce Schwartz
The Scene of the Crime
A call from Mrs. George to police headquarters reports an unfamiliar car that has been parked for two days on an isolated road near her home. Police Officer Adams responds immediately. He pulls up behind the car, and cautiously approaches it.
A woman's limp body is stretched across the front seat. Her head hangs off the passenger's side, its long hair trailing from the partly open door. The officer's eyes quickly focus on the dark bruise around the victim's neck. "Looks like a homicide," he thinks, as he calls the station for help.
After pulling on the protective clothing investigators wear to prevent contamination—a Tyvek suit, latex gloves, booties, and a mask—Officer Adams checks the body for a pulse and finds none. Then the officer cordons off the crime scene to protect the evidence.
Inspector Tate and Ms. Clark, a forensic photographer, arrive within minutes. After they suit up, they inspect the body. Officer Adams enters their observations into a laptop: trampled grass near the car, a woman's body squeezed between the back of the seat and the gearshift, crumpled newspapers, a baseball cap lying in the grass several yards away.
Inspector Tate puts the baseball cap into a paper bag and ropes off the additional area. When Ms. Clark finishes photographing the body, the team carefully removes it for transport to the chief medical examiner's office.
Inside the car, the team dusts for fingerprints, inspects for hairs, removes the newspapers that have some small brownish spots on them, and sprays a chemical that will reveal any traces of blood. They place each piece of evidence in a separate paper container and carefully label it. Everything is loaded into an unmarked van and driven to police headquarters, where it is locked in the main evidence area.
A forensics expert will soon log out the evidence to extract samples of DNA that might identify the mystery murderer.
The Investigation
Biochemist Dr. Polly Merase is assigned to handle DNA analysis for the murder case. Her job is to look for samples of DNA in the evidence and use them to create a DNA profile of the murderer. At the main storage area, she signs out the newspapers, the baseball cap, and fingernail cuttings from the victim—all likely sources of DNA. Each item has a sample number and bar code and is logged into the computer system so that it can be constantly tracked.
Returning to the lab, Dr. Merase puts on latex gloves, a mask, and a full-length smock. She swabs down the big evidence table with alcohol and lays out a large piece of clean paper. She selects the newspaper with the brown stains from the collection of evidence. A simple color test will reveal whether the stains are blood.
Dr. Merase places a small cutting of stained newspaper and some ethanol (a type of alcohol) in a test tube labeled with the sample number. If the stains are blood, the ethanol will break open the red blood cells and release their hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen. When Dr. Merase adds indicator chemicals, they react with the hemoglobin and turn the sample first pink and then green, proving that the stain on the newspaper is blood!
That was easy. Getting a DNA profile from the blood sample will be complicated.
Dr. Merase first extracts DNA from the white blood cells also present in the blood sample (red blood cells don't contain DNA). Then she makes millions of copies of certain parts of the DNA. Finally, she analyzes the copies to reveal the DNA profile of the person whose blood is on the newspaper. Let's look more closely at the process.
Extracting the DNA
In a test tube, Dr. Merase mixes another cutting of the stained newspaper with two chemicals that will break open the white blood cells and release the DNA. She spins the tube in a machine called a microcentrifuge, and then incubates it overnight at 56 degrees C (113 degrees F).
The next morning, she adds another chemical and spins the tube again. The sample separates into two layers: a watery one containing the DNA, and another, heavier layer that sinks to the bottom of the tube. Dr. Merase removes the watery layer and filters out the DNA. The result is a small amount of liquid (equal to one-quarter of a drop from a medicine dropper). Dr. Merase tests the liquid and finds that it contains enough DNA to continue the analysis.
Copying the DNA
DNA molecules also contain sequences of base pairs that are not genes. These sequences used to be called "junk" DNA, but now scientists have learned that some of them can be used to determine identity and are key to DNA profiling. The sequences contain base pairs in repeating patterns; the number of repeating patterns in a sequence varies from person to person. The repeating patterns are called STRs (short tandem repeats) and can have from 20 to 100 base pairs.
In a new test tube, Dr. Merase mixes a small amount of the extracted DNA with a solution containing DNA "probes." The probes attach to the starting points of the STRs to be copied. She also adds some other chemicals, including several fluorescent ones that will become part of the STR copies.
Dr. Merase places the test tube containing the sample in the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) machine. It makes copies of 15 STRs, plus amelogenin, another DNA sequence that tells the sex of the person. The DNA profile will be based on these 16 sequences. The machine goes through several cycles of heating and cooling over the next three hours. The amelogenin and the STR sequences split apart during heating and copy themselves during cooling.
Profiling the DNA
Dr. Merase puts the solution containing amelogenin and the STR copies into the genetic analyzer. The solution travels down a long tube that is as thin as a hair. An electric current passes through the tube and causes the shorter STRs to move faster than the longer ones. A clear "window" in the tube is lined up with a laser beam. As each group of STRs passes through the window, the laser beam causes the fluorescent chemicals they contain to flash. A detector, connected to a computer, records the flashes and prints out a graph. Each of the 15 STRs, plus the amelogenin, is represented by one or two peaks on the graph. This ordinary-looking graph, called an electropherogram, is the DNA profile.
The most important information that an electropherogram shows is the number of repeating base sequences at each STR location. To determine this number, the computer first measures the amount of time needed for one of the STR groups to pass in front of the laser. Then the computer compares that measurement to the amount of time needed for control DNA sequences, of known lengths, to move past the laser.
There can be one or two peaks for each STR, depending on whether both parents of the individual being tested have the same number of repeats at a particular location. For example, if a man inherits 10 repeats on one chromosome of the pair from his father, and 12 repeats on the other chromosome from his mother, there will be two peaks at that location. If both his mother's and his father's chromosomes have 10 repeats, there will be one peak. For the amelogenin location, a single peak indicates a woman, and two peaks, a man.
The more STR locations analyzed, the more likely it is that a match (between the unknown DNA profile and a suspect's profile) is meaningful. (There are a huge number of variations at each STR location in the population as a whole.) Using 15 STRs means that each person's electropherogram is unique. Only identical twins will have identical electropherograms. If Dr. Merase finds an exact match, she can testify that the probability of randomly choosing another individual with a DNA profile matching that of the suspect is one in more than 6 billion persons (the entire world population).
Dr. Merase sees two amelogenin peaks and notes that the blood sample comes from a male. Now she will analyze and compare the other DNA evidence from the case to determine who that male is and if he is the murderer.
The Wrap-Up
Dr. Merase analyzes a sample of the victim's blood, as well as other DNA samples taken from the car that could belong to anyone else who had been in it. None of the profiles matches the one from the bloodstained newspaper. She then tests the other evidence from the crime scene. DNA profiles from the sweat stains on the baseball cap and the scrapings of skin from beneath the victim's fingernails are identical to the profile from the bloodstained newspaper.
Finally, she compares the unknown profile with the ones stored in CODIS (Combined DNA Index System). CODIS is a national computerized database established by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) to help solve violent crimes. Crimes can be linked to each other and to convicted criminals by matching DNA profiles from crime scene evidence with DNA profiles of known offenders.
Dr. Merase enters the profile of the unknown man. It is an exact match with the profile of a convicted criminal recently released from prison. She writes a report summarizing her findings. That report, along with other evidence, will be used in court to convict the murderer.
DNA Basics
by E.B. and J.S.
The 46 chromosomes in the nucleus of every human cell are made up of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Chromosomes occur in pairs, one coming from each parent.
Each chromosome is made of a long DNA molecule shaped like a sprial ladder, or double helix. The "rungs" of the ladder are made of four chemicals called bases, and known as A, T, C, and G. They bond together in pairs: A bonds only with T and C bonds only with G. A gene is a string, or sequence, of base pairs on a chromosome. The base pairs in a gene act like a code that tells the cell how to manufacture a particular protein.
When a DNA molecule copies itself, the base pairs split apart and the two sides of the double helix separate. Each side rebuilds its partner from chemicals available in the cell.
DNA Profiling: An Imperfect Science
When DNA evidence is used in a trial, the prosecutor must be able to show that the DNA hasn't been contaminated. (In the highly publicized murder trial of former professional football star O.J. Simpson, defense attorneys implied that the blood samples from the crime scene might have been tampered with, damaging the prosecution's case.) DNA must be handled with care: Crime scenes must be secured, people handling DNA evidence must wear protective clothing, and labs must follow strict procedures. A detailed record must clearly show where DNA evidence has been kept and who has handled it. DNA profiling can identify people who commit crimes, and it can also help acquit suspects and free innocent people from prison. It's a powerful tool—someone's life may depend on it.
- forensic: Relating to the use of science or technology in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidence in a court of law: a forensic lab, for example.
- incubate: To maintain (eggs, organisms, or living tissue) at optimal environmental conditions for growth and development.
- What do the letters "STR" stand for, and what is it?
[anno: The letters stand for short tandem repeats, which are sections of DNA about 20 to 100 base pairs long.]
- What are STRs used for in a forensic lab?
[anno: STRs help police identify samples of DNA gathered at a crime scene. The DNA can be used to identify an individual.]
- What does the amelogenin sequence reveal?
[anno: The amelogenin sequence reveals whether the DNA belongs to a man or a woman.]
- The article states that the odds of two different people having the same DNA profile match are about one in six billion. Do you think these odds are low enough to use DNA evidence when convicting someone of a crime? Why or why not? Write a few sentences explaining your answer.

Signs of Stroke and In Home Assisted Living
A stroke is often called a "brain attack" and causes a sudden stop in blood flow to the brain. With the shortage of blood, the brain is starved of oxygen. In many cases, the brain cells can recover, but there are instances when a stroke can cause permanent damage. It is important to get help and call 911 as soon as possible when the first signs of stroke appear.
According to The National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke, 8 out of 10 strokes could have been prevented. A healthier lifestyle and quitting smoking will help to prevent strokes by reducing high blood pressure, losing weight, and lowering cholesterol. While there are ways to prevent stroke, there are other factors such as race and age that can't be changed. Because of this fact, our elderly loved ones are more susceptible to strokes.
The faster a stroke victim is cared for, the more likely they can reduce the risk of permanent brain damage. Some signs of a stroke include difficulty in walking and paralysis of one side of the body. The face can become numb and speaking is hard to do. Blurred vision or sudden visual loss are all signs of a stroke.
A stroke can come on quickly and is dangerous if left for too long without medical help. It is important when caring for an elderly loved one to be aware of the closest stroke and urgent care hospital location. Never allow a person who is having a stroke to drive themselves. Either bring them to the hospital or call for an ambulance if any symptom lasts for more than a minute or two. The worst case scenario for getting help right away is an unnecessary trip to the hospital. At least there will be a checkup to look for causes of the symptoms; it's always better safe than sorry.
If you would like to learn more about caring and consistent in home assisted living and the many benefits of professional elderly care or dementia and Alzheimer's care, call Senior Helpers of Chattanooga to speak to a senior care specialist today 423-710-1500! The compassionate senior care specialists at Senior Helpers can also guide you through the process of receiving the Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance Benefit if your elderly loved one is a veteran. In home senior care allows your loved one to stay in the comforts of their own home for as long as possible while receiving the level of care they need.

The past few weeks I've been able to squeeze time out of my friend Marysol and I've been enjoying every second of it. Our last get-together was over dinner at Siam Bistro. A recommendation from another foodie, chrisonthego, is what brought us there.
My first impression as I walked in was that of surprise. The interior was much nicer than I expected. Long and narrow with warm orange-shaded walls, dimly lit and very inviting.
Knowing there would be some spice in some of our dishes, we started off ordering a bottle of Strewn Riesling Gewurztraminer.
We were off to a good start. Our first dish, Tood Mun Pla, 6 fried fish patties served with sweet and spicy cucumber sauce topped with a layer of crushed peanuts. The texture was a bit odd at first bite, but once the initial shock wore off our feelings for the dish grew fonder. They were perfectly fried, not too greasy, and the dipping sauce, which had the consistency of honey, was delightful. It took all of me not to lick the bowl clean.
Next up, Pad Thai. One of my favourite dishes in the world. Having heard such wonderful things I was very excited to try their version. Unfortunately this dish did not wow me. The noodles were a little overcooked, and although the flavours were nice, could have been slightly punchier. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our dish.
The Gang Ped Moo Pah, or what they call the ultimate hot Thai curry, was indeed that. Bursting with flavour and a wonderful amount of spice, this dish is a mound of white rice's best friend. Red and green peppers interlaced with wild boar soaked in this heavenly sauce.
We ended the entire meal with a delicious tea. We didn't know what they had brought us but we're convinced it was a verbena tea. So comforting.
Unfortunately towards the end of the evening, the quality of the service was reduced, ending with a request that we leave because they were closing. Still not quite finished our tea, or our wine for that matter, we surprisingly looked at each other and made our way towards the door. We had already paid our bill, and it was barely 30 minutes past closing time, with the last table having left only minutes before. But one particular woman was adamant to get us out of there.
I wished we were more than two, it would have allowed us to try more dishes. I guess it just means we'll have to go back some time. My hope is that, if I do, the Pad Thai will come back to surprise me, and that the service will jump back for a higher end result in my books. Apps range from $4.75 to $8.95 and mains $10.95 to $16.95.

Fall And The New Take A Jet To Fashion
Leaf - A Myth?
by Conrad Woodall
Returning from my trip to Cuba
(see page one), I was confronted
with a number of questions; ser-ious
questions, non-serious ques-tions,
questions designed to cause
mirth, and questions asked because
it is the thing to do when you
know that someone has returned
from somewhere that not too many
people have been.
I found that regardless of the
nature of the question and the
intent therein, they almost always
revolved around one man. Of
course this man is Dr. Fidel Castro,
engineer of the recent overthrow
of "the coward" Batista.
Apparently, when you think of
Cuba, you think of Castro. For
those who wonder of him and his
appearance in pictures in Ameri-can
publications, he still wears a
beard (at least he did when last I
saw him) and fatigues (see most
recent parenthesis). And it might
be said that Castro isn't the only
Castro. At any time of day, a jeep
might ride by carrying two or three
fatigued (clothes, that is), beard-ed,
long-haired, firearms-carrying
former rebels.
I mentioned that I saw the man.
That makes an interesting tale
in itself. Returning from dinner
one night I saw a sign telling me
that he was waiting to address our
party at the Habana Hilton. By
the way, we had pretty plush ac-comodations.
I arrived at the Hil-ton
at 8:30 and was directed to
the swimming pool area where I
would see and hear the man of
the hour. At 12:30 he arrived,
was mobbed by the crowds of
American and Cuban students and
obliged the fans by signing auto-by

There is something to be de-rived
from knowledge of Dr. Castro
besides what made the revolution
go. Cuba is far from stability and
around us are heard many rumors
of counter-revolution and the like.
Regardless of what happens, the
personality of Fidel Castro is a
popular one and his following is
strong. If any major change in

the battle against cancer but
attaining PEACE and JOY.
by Harlan Christianson
(Augsburg Echo, Oct. 23, 1958)
Fiery words spoken with fervor
and zeal are heard, listened to, and
systematically forgotten in end-less
regularity as the meaning and
purpose of life are sought after.
Contrary to the New Testament
message of life, the labors of our
hands and the utterances of our
mouths mushroom and spread over
the dampness of a humid night.
The hotness, the dampness, the
sudden cool are joined together ex-pressing
the depth of our confu-sion.
An empty nausea sweeps out
redundant self security as the lone-ly
heart grasps for fellowship bath-ed
in the security of knowing.
A friend—yes, we need a friend,
but dare not. The last "friend" to
whom this heart was bared, licked
the wounds, but tasting blood, bore
deeply, and uncovered what I want-ed
not to see. I was uncovered, un-clean,
untrue, dirty, but loved. But
being loved was not enough. I must
be someone, something. I have my
pride, my self-respect, my soul as
dark as it may be, it is mine. I
covet this; my honor I will not
give to another.
The position of self in the Chris-tian
experience is one of the great
problems with which we wrestle.
Struggling with this breach be-tween
the world of life and the
world of ideals sets before us the
statement of Paul as he describes
the conflict of the man in Christ,
"That which I would I do not, and
that which I do, I would not." Men
are of two minds—Christ-like and
man - like. Inhabitants of two

littlest fur touches. You see fur
on collars, for linings, as short
jackets, and, perhaps the sharpest

minds of men in all their reason
cannot comprehend. As I bow in
this hopeless realization, am I to
forsake the faith that from history
moved the forces of mankind about

Himself with t h e wondering

and my desolation, becoming one

Jesus the Son of God.
I know not how, but I know one
thing: I was blind but now I see.
Once I was lost but I am found. I
was tired and He gave me rest. My
soul is mine, yet not mine, but
He who is in me. In Christ I have
integrity. I know not why, but
God is mindful of me. I sought my
own, I sought my soul, I sought
my destiny, but found instead a
whole new life, a purpose under
God in one who gave His life.

It is now the time of the year when students break out all their
exclamations of sincerity regarding studies. And advisors, faculty, par-ent,
and student alike, give words of encouragement. And the man on
the street wonders why the education he got isn't sufficient to produce
a crop of minds who can beat the Russians to Mars. It's too late for
the moon. Mired deep in all the cliches is a significant idea. Know-ledge
is a desirable thing. It does require diligence. And, believe it or
not, today's young folk are tomorrow's old folk. It is therefore impera-tive,

Freshmen are greeted at Bethel by a wide variety of people. They
are asked to make themselves at home, to become part of the Bethel
communtiy. The idea of Bethel as a community is true. Students here
live in close contact for nine months of the year. This makes many of
their problems alike—problems that can only be effectively solved by
a united effort. It's called democracy.
And the Bethel community has its organ of democracy. There is
a student senate that actually has some influence concerning changes
affecting its constitutents. This student government idea is often laughed
at and accused of being ineffective.
For a student government to become ineffective is very easy. It
only requires a lack of support to cripple the representative body and
make it stand for nothing.

Hibbing Edges Bethel
By One Point, 7-6
by Dick Kreider
The Bethel Royals suffered an
opening game set-back at the
hands of Hibbing junior college
by a score of 7 to 6. All of the
scoring was done in the first six-teen
minutes of play, with the
rest of the game turning into an
exchange of fumbles.
Bethel took the opening kick
off, and with a sustained passing
and running drive moved the ball
all the way to score the first touch-down.
Key running plays of the
drive were by freshman Bill Holz-worth,
and junior quarterback Ken
The big play of the drive was a
forty-five yard pass from Ken
Baird to freshman Steve Sparling.
Baird then scored the Royal's first
touchdown of the year on a quar-terback
sneak. The extra point at-tempt
by Don McKelvy, a drop
kicker, was blocked, and Bethel
led 6 to 0.
After kicking to Hibbing,
Bethel's defense took over and held
tight. Hibbing failed to move the
ball and the Royals once again
took over and started to roll.
Baird, Holzworth, Sparling, and
McKelvy moved the ball about
fifty yards and then Hibbing dug
in and stopped them. The quarter
ended with Bethel leading 6 to 0.
On the first play of the second
quarter Hibbing's quarterback
threw a tremendous pass to his
right end who tramped into the
end zone to score. The extra point
kick, which followed the seventy-five
yard play, split the uprights
and Hibbing was ahead 7 to 6.
Neither team was able to score
after that, although Bethel
threatened many times. Fumbles
were dominant throughout the
remainder of the game.
Sidelined because of injury was
captain Paul Evan.

Story highlights
- The NBA claims that 85 percent of its players are gamers
- Thunder forward Kevin Durant. "If I'm not on the court, I got the controller in my hand"
- NBA fans will have a choice of simulation games when "NBA Live 13" tips off against "NBA 2K13"
Between games, practices, travel and promotional appearances, you'd think that the NBA's multimillionaire stars would be too busy.
But most NBA players say they find time to play video games every day. In fact, the NBA claims that 85 percent of its players are gamers.
"I would say I play about three or four hours every night," says Orlando Magic Center Dwight Howard. "I'm a night owl, so after games I'm up till about 4 or 5 a.m. playing video games."
"That's all I do," says Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant. "If I'm not on the court, I got the controller in my hand."
"With the schedule we have this year, I don't get to play as much as I want to," says LeBron James of the Miami Heat. "But whenever I get some down time I play some Xbox."
As the NBA playoffs get under way, half the league's players are done for the season, giving them more free hours to fire up their video game consoles. The other half will have extra time off between playoff games, thanks to the league's stretched-out postseason schedule.
"I play a little bit, but I played more during the summer," says Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics. "This season is so crammed, it's tough."
The league's rising young stars aren't immune from the thrills of gaming, either.
Ricky Rubio (Minnesota Timberwolves), Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers) and John Wall (Washington Wizards), made a pit stop while in Orlando for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game to check out the new "NBA Live 13" game at Electronic Arts' Tiburon studio -- the developer behind sports franchises like "Madden NFL 12," "NCAA Football 12" and the new "Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf 13."
NBA fans will have a choice of simulation games next season when "NBA Live 13" tips off against "NBA 2K13." It's been a few years now that gamers, and NBA players, have had no choice in pro-hoops games (outside of the arcade game, EA Sports NBA Jam).
"I'm excited they brought 'NBA Live' back," says Durant. "I haven't talked to anybody yet (about the cover). I'm sure I'll get a call here in a few hours or a few days or so. I haven't heard about it, this is my first time. I'm excited."
Durant was the cover athlete for "NBA Elite 11," a rebranding of EA Sports' basketball franchise that was canceled because of horrible community reaction to the glitchy gameplay. But he's still up for being on the cover of the new game.
"I'm a '2K' person now," says Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers. "I might give 'NBA Live 13' a try, but '2K' has taken over the basketball scene."
Although a knee injury to New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin knocked him out for the season, he's still playable in "NBA 2K12" -- and his gameplay has improved thanks to not one, but two player rating upgrades by developer Visual Concepts.
"I actually don't know the exact numbers, but I know for a while I was in the 50s, I believe," Lin says. "I think ESPN had me as the 467th best player out of 500 or something like that coming into the season."
Now that Lin has earned a 75 in the game, up from 56 when he was a bench player, he's not focusing on how high his player rating can go.
"I'm not really too worried about that," he says. "I don't have a set number or goal, but it's cool to be able to hear about progressing. That's the important thing, is that me and my team continue to improve. As long as we're headed up, I think we're good to go."
New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony is happy for his teammate's player rating upgrade.
"It's getting up there," he says. "It should be in the 90s. If I have a chance to play '2K12,' he's definitely in my starting lineup."
But not everyone is crazy about their NBA 2K12 player ratings. And yes, they do check out their in-game attributes.
"I like some of the ratings, but I feel like some of them could be increased a little bit," says Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward. "Defensively, I think they've got my grade a little low. I think they had one of my teammates, Al Jefferson, a better perimeter defender than me. I was like, 'Come on now, that can't happen.' With time, they'll probably increase them, so I'm not too worried about it."
Utah Jazz teammate Jeremy Evans, winner of the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, would also like to see his player ratings in NBA '2K12' improved.
"When I play '2K12,' and sometimes I play as myself, I get mad," he says. "It's like, 'I would have dunked that in the NBA.' It's a great game, but sometimes they don't actually make you like you want to be made."
Evans grew up on sports games like "Double Dribble" and "NBA Live" on the Nintendo 64 and now plays "FIFA 12" and the "Call of Duty" series.
When it comes to video games, some NBA players will try anything.
"I played everything...football games, basketball games, baseball games, Donkey Kong, and all of that," says Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin. "Actually, probably my favorite game to play is 'Tiger Woods Golf.' It's always been fun. I've played it for a long time."
So the next time you're on Xbox Live, it may just be an NBA All-Star in that game world with you.

DAKOTA Information
Every car or truck has wasted space. You know, the places behind or beneath the seats where loose change and French fries hide. Those spaces are crying for bass. MTX Audio responds with ThunderForm vehicle-specific subwoofer enclosures.On amplified ThunderForm models, MTX Audio has added an on-board, 200-watt, Class-D amplifier. The amp is highly efficient, and has been designed specifically for the subwoofer in the enclosure. You get deep, low bass, without having to wire in a separate amplifier. MTX Audio's "Smart-Engage" Circuitry (patent pending) eliminates the need to remove your factory head-unit during most installations (now, if you don't know how much time that feature alone will save you, just go sit in your car, and imagine having to tear out the whole dash... and really hope you don't snap any of the clips in there).Amplified ThunderForm models feature a proprietary woofer design utilizing a .35 ohm for single woofer, (.7 ohm in parallel for dual woofer), long excursion voice coil. This design takes full advantage of the efficiency of Class D amplifier design while delivering powerful, low frequency extension. Add all of these features up, along with over voltage, over current, and voice coil short protection, and you have a unit that looks and operates like it came as an original part of the vehicle.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Robert A. Hummer, professor of sociology at University of Texas, Austin, will present Penn State's eighth annual De Jong Lecture in Social Demography at 8:45 a.m. Nov. 14 in the Nittany Lion Inn Assembly Room.
There continues to be substantial interest and debate regarding the relatively favorable health and mortality patterns of the Mexican Origin population in the United States. In his talk, "De-mystifying the Hispanic Paradox: Toward a Better Understanding of Health and Mortality Patterns Among Mexican Origin Adults in the United States," Hummer takes a fresh look at the older adult health and mortality patterns of the Mexican Origin population of the United States and makes comparisons with the health and mortality patterns of similarly-aged individuals in Mexico.
Irma Elo, professor of sociology at University of Pennsylvania, and Patricia Miranda, assistant professor of health policy and administration and demography at Penn State, will act as discussants. For more information and to register for the free conference, visit http://www.pop.psu.edu/events/2013/djl/2013-deJong-lecture/view.
The lecture is sponsored by the Caroline M. and Gordon F. De Jong Lectureship in Social Demography Endowment, and Department of Sociology and Population Research Institute at Penn State.

The economic cycles don't seem to matter. It's just a long, secular trend.
If you have any specific theories/knowledge on what's going on, let us know.

They think they own the road, the way they hog the lane, make sudden movements and turn without signaling. Cyclists or motorists? This summer in Massachusetts, it could be both.
They think they own the road, the way they hog the lane, make sudden movements and turn without signaling. Cyclists or motorists? This summer in Massachusetts, it could be both. The two groups are learning how to coexist on the pavement as surging gas prices, the desire for a healthier lifestyle and concerns about global warming drive more adults to trade in four wheels for two.
But bike-friendly roads are a few decades behind the need for them. The state's 2007 bicycle transportation plan is on schedule to evaluate need and develop bike paths, bike lanes, storage facilities and better signage and enforcement – by 2030.
So until the infrastructure catches up, cycling advocates are promoting a "Share the Road" message directed at motorists and new bikers alike who may not know the rules of engagement.
They say you never forget how to ride a bike, but there's a lot to know before pedaling along with traffic, said David Watson, executive director of MassBike, which is working to launch an awareness campaign for bikes and motorists in the coming weeks.
Massachusetts is not exactly a state with a reputation for patient drivers. They don't like slower-moving traffic, and they know how to use a horn. And when the street just doesn't seem wide enough for two, impatience sometimes prevails.
Jim Lewis, a cyclist from Hyde Park who loves the scenic roads through the Blue Hills, recalls a near-accident when a motorist on Chickatawbut Road tried to pass him and a friend. They were cruising downhill at about 30 to 35 mph in single file, as dictated by law for cyclists in groups. The driver crossed the median to pass them, then swerved back to avoid oncoming traffic, almost forcing Lewis off the road.
"When I reached the traffic light and pointed out to the woman that she had endangered all of our lives and broken the law just to get around us, with some antipathy she said: 'I don't care,'" Lewis said.
Despite mutual road frustrations, the number of motor accidents involving cyclists has increased only slightly over the past five years, according to records from the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
There were 1,058 such accidents reported to the Registry in 2006, the last year available, up from 931 in 2002, said Registry spokeswoman Ann Dufresne.
The Registry, which receives about 20 to 30 driver complaint forms each week, received only nine complaints from cyclists in the past four months, Dufresne said.
According to cyclists and Shane Jordan, director of outreach at MassBike, many incidents do not get reported because they result in only scrapes, bruises or hot tempers.
"Massachusetts seems to have very low fatality rates, and it's unexpected, because people tend to think Massachusetts drivers are wild and unpredictable," Jordan said, adding, "But I guess they're really good at dodging people on the street."

Posted 23 April 2009 - 12:25 PM
A memorial service has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at the Robert Pain Scripps Forum in La Jolla, CA. Continue reading for full details, including a list of donation recipients in lieu of sending flowers (as requested by his family).

Posted 23 April 2009 - 12:54 PM
He will be sorely missed.
Posted 23 April 2009 - 03:09 PM
He was an incredibly generous man, and went out of his way to help promote and facilitate projects he found meaningful. He has so many friends in so many places! It always amazed me that whenever I returned from traveling somewhere, Steve always knew all about it! Steve made a point (as Eric so aptly notes) of connecting people with similar interests in ways that helped further the work all involved.
For those of us in Kona (where I currently am), Masa Ushioda has posted on his blog a tribute to Steve with more info on the local Holualoa Foundation For Arts & Culture, which is one of the mentioned organizations for memorial donations in lieu of flowers.
Steve Drogin will be deeply missed.

This is very sad, around 12 years ago I was working with my wife Lucy in the Marshall Islands helping to setup the dive operation on Bikini. In the opening year we had all the great underwater photographers come through including Jim Watt and Steve Drogin and we became friends with them, seeing them at DEMA and on their return trips to Bikini.
On our return to the UK we kind of lost contact with our diving acquaintances until we got a call out of the blue from Steve who was in London and invited us out to dinner at one of the best Sushi places in town - Nobu. We had a great evening with Steve in London, hearing of his adventures, remembering past trips and finding out some of the joint connections we both had with people we'd met around the world. He also wouldn't let us pay for dinner, which still to this day is probably the best meal we've ever had !!
Its really sad that both Jim Watt and Steve have left us in the past few years. They were both amazing photographers and great people. Very sad but a true example of living life to the full....

The Cruisin' Nationals Gets A New Home
Very few events get to be known solely by their location, rather than their official name, especially nationwide or even worldwide. Bonneville, maybe, or possibly Louisville to some, but then there's Paso. Mention the word in certain circles and everyone knows what you mean. Or knew, anyway, as the West Coast Kustoms event that was "Paso" is no more. We won't get into the reasons here, but the event had to move after more than two decades in the small central California coastal town, finding a new home at Santa Maria Fairpark, a few miles south.
The Paso vibe would and could never be replicated. The old show was in a town square with restaurants on three sides and the host hotel on the fourth, while the new venue is a fairgrounds type of deal. Nevertheless, despite the food vendors being overwhelmed on Saturday, with long lines for just about everything, it was a decent venue, and the type needed for the size of event this show has become. There were just less than 1,000 cars registered on the Saturday. What wasn't missed was the horde of non-car people wandering around!
Comparisons between Paso Robles and Santa Maria aren't fair and shouldn't be made, and the show will settle into its new home with a little time and familiarity with the new surroundings. There was an organized cruise to a destination on Friday and some impromptu action outside the host hotel on Saturday, but nothing on the scale of the organized Spring Street Friday cruise in Paso, unfortunately. However, for a first-time event in a new venue, the West Coast Kustoms crew can rest assured they did a great job.

Extend The Life of Your Leather With These Quick And Easy Tips
Of all the items in our closet, you probably rely the most on your leather essentials (everything from jackets and skirts to bags and boots). Accordingly, we have a hunch you also might be interested in extending the life of these investment pieces. Happily, with the right products on hand, you can do it right at home without breaking the bank. All you need is the help of expert cobbler and owner of one of the most trusted and brand-approved leather cleaners in Los Angeles, Pasquale Fabrizio of Pasquale Shoe Repair. Keep reading for his foolproof tips and tricks for protecting, cleaning, and storing leather.
Before you take your new leather boots or jacket out for a spin, apply a protectant to shield the fabric from possible dirt stains. "Meltonian Water and Stain Protector ($5) works to prevent stains from actually penetrating the fabric, so they're easier to lift out," Fabrizio says.
1. Run A Test
Though protectors work on all leather, discoloration can occur, so Fabrizio suggests testing a small amount on the inside lining of clothing and bags.
2. Apply The Protector
If it passes the test, simply use a damp rag and apply the formula to the entire surface, then let it sit for a couple of minutes before wiping off.
Cleaning and Conditioning
?Leather can withstand a ton of wear, but as we've learned the hard way, the sturdy fabric isn't stain-resistant. Fabrizio recommends two products to help get rid of dirt spots and maintain the quality of the leather.
1. All-In-One Cleaner
?According to Fabrizio, Meltonian's All-Purpose Cleaner and Conditioner ($4) is one of the best cleaners, as it helps get rid of grime and restores the leather's softness. Test before using and apply to the entire surface with a damp rag.
2. Mild Detergent
"Woolite Everyday Laundry Detergent ($8) helps lighten dirt sports and breaks down surface stains," Fabrizio says. Using a damp rag, rub the detergent onto the spot--not the entire surface--and wait a few minutes before wiping clean.
Believe it or not, your leather goods can get damaged while sitting in the closet, so keep these next two tips in mind before storing away your favourite pieces for the season.
1. Condition
Fabrizio advises his clients to massage Meltonian's Delicate Cream ($3) into the leather, which helps to condition and soften the fabric. (Note: the leather will darken at first, but returns to its natural colour after a few minutes.)
2. Use Cloth Bags
?Repeat after us: never use plastic bags when storing leather! "Plastic bags cause the leather to dry up quicker," Fabrizio says. He suggests using cloth bags instead. Patent leather shoes should be stored individually, meaning one shoe per bag, to avoid prints or other leather goods from transferring underneath the surface.

Grasshoppers stay alive in Sally Finals
Fisher scores tying run in ninth, hits go-ahead single in 11th
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | September 16, 2011 7:55 PM
Then Ryan Fisher interrupted the proceedings.
Fisher scored the tying run with two outs in the ninth inning, then plated the go-ahead run in the 11th as the Greensboro Grasshoppers outlasted Savannah, 12-10, to tie the best-of-5 Finals, 2-2.
The champion will be crowned Saturday evening at Grayson Stadium. If the previous four games are any indication, it will be a close one. Game 1 was decided in the bottom of the ninth and Game 3 ended in the 11th. Friday's contest was even wilder.
The Sand Gnats were staring at a 7-2 deficit, then sent 10 batters to the plate in the fourth inning. The first seven reached safely -- five on singles, one on an error and Darrell Ceciliani's bases-clearing triple -- before reliever Alex Caldera retired three straight to end the frame.
Eight of the first nine runs were charged to Grasshoppers starter Rett Varner, who left without recording an out in the fourth and allowed nine hits and two walks while striking out one.
Greensboro tied it, 9-9, in the ninth as Fisher singled, advanced to second on Daniel Black's sacrifice, took third on Isaac Galloway's groundout and scored -- one strike from elimination -- on Noah Perio's clutch single.
The Grasshoppers grabbed the lead in the 11th when catcher Jacob Realmuto tripled and trotted home on Fisher's single to left field. They added two runs against reliever Ronny Morla (0-1) as Perio grounded out and Mark Canha drew a bases-loaded walk.
Fisher scored three runs and went 3-for-6 to raise his postseason batting average to .346. He hit .258 in 129 regular-season games.
Seven Grasshoppers recorded multi-hit games. Perio went 3-for-7, plated four runs and scored twice, while Marcell Ozuna and Canha had three RBIs apiece.
Brett Zawacki (1-0), Greensboro's fourth pitcher, allowed a run in the bottom of the 11th but picked up the win.

With a pre-season roster loaded with returning letterwinners, the Flying Dutch approach the 2010 campaign with hopes of challenging for a conference championship.
Coach Leigh Sear's Flying Dutch will be playing their first complete season in the state-of-the-art Van Andel Soccer Stadium. The team played a portion of its 2009 season in the new facility. The 2010 campaign has 10 home games, including three under the lights.
The Flying Dutch are coming off a disappointing 8-9-1 season and fifth place finish in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
The Flying Dutch are five victories away from the 100th under coach Sears who begins her 10th season.
Last year's roster included only one senior. This year's pre-season roster could include as many as 25 returning letterwinners. Co-captains of the team will be seniors Kelsey Bos of Holland (Holland HS), Kara Marsman of Holland (Holland Christian HS), and Kristen Schwenk of Midland (HH Dow HS).
Returning senior midfielder Courtney Cook of Grand Rapids (Forest Hills Central) is a three-time All-MIAA player. She received first-team honors in 2007 and 2008 and was named to the second team in 2009. Kelsey Bos, a goalkeeper, and freshman midfielder Tricia Bajema of Grandville (Grandville HS) were All-MIAA second team honorees in 2009 and Kristen Schwenk received the recognition in 2008.
Eight returning players have lettered for three seasons - Emily Baracy of Canton (Canton HS), Kelsey Bos, Courtney Cook, Mallory Fox of Livonia (Livonia Stevenson HS), Bethany Kicz of Ada (Forest Hills Central HS), Katie Lovinger of Hillsdale (Hillsdale HS), Kara Marsman, Lauren Miller of San Diego, Calif. (University City HS), and Kristen Schwenk.
Other returning letterwinners on the pre-season roster include sophomore Megan Altieri of Bay Village (Bay Village HS), junior Lana Gentry of Traverse City (Traverse City Central HS), sophomore Lindsay Jipping of Jenison (Unity Christian HS), sophomore Alyson Epolito of East Lansing (East Lansing HS), junior Nikki Franzese of Naperville, Ill. (Naperville Central HS), sophomore Kylie Clark of Noblesville, Ind. (Noblesville HS), sophomore Alexis Prins of Hudsonville (Unity Christian HS), sophomore Rachel Doud of Rockford (Rockford HS), sophomore Sara Lang of Traverse City (Traverse City Central HS), junior Grace Gonzalez of Park Ridge, Ill. (Maine South HS), sophomore Meredith Faas of Saline (Saline HS), junior Danielle Petzak of Zeeland (Zeeland West HS), junior Bethann Hamer of Palatine, Ill. (Palatine HS), and junior Jessica Malkin of Bay City (Bay City Western HS).
2009 Season in Review
MIAA Recognizes Three Players (11/12/09)
Three Hope women's soccer players have been awarded all-conference honors by the MIAA.
Named to the All-MIAA team were freshman Tricia Bajema of Grandville (Grandville HS), junior Courtney Cook of Grand Rapids (Forest Hills Central HS), and junior Kelsey Bos of Holland (Holland HS).
The Flying Dutch, coached by Leigh Sears, tied for fifth (4-3-1) in the MIAA standings and were 8-9-1 overall.

The football-following world got a surprise on Thursday, when Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning missed practice with an ankle injury.
On Thursday, Manning was back. As expected.
Manning fully participated in practice despite the ankle injury. Per a league source, the injury originally happened not against the Colts but the prior Sunday, against the Jaguars.
Peyton remains on track to play on Sunday against Washington. He'll then have the bye week to rest it further.
All other Broncos who missed practice on Wednesday returned, with the exception of cornerback Champ Bailey (foot) and guard Chris Kuper (ankle).
Perhaps the best news for the Broncos is that right tackle Orlando Frankly, who missed Sunday's game at Indy with an ankle injury, was able to practice on a limited basis.

The Cleveland Clinic is mentioned prominently in this Wall Street Journal story adapted from a new book called "Simple: Conquering the Crisis of Complexity." In the book, co-authors Alan Siegel and Irene Etzkorn argue that "every facet of our lives, even entertainment and recreation, is complicated by an ever-widening array of choices delivered at a frantic pace." They note, for instance, that in 1980, the typical credit card contract was about 400 words long. Today, many are 20,000 words. "Why is it so rare," they ask, for a product or service to be launched with simplicity baked in? The missing ingredient is empathy, according to the authors. The Clinic, they write, has a strong understanding of this idea and "understands that empathizing with patients is critical, so it doesn't just focus on simplifying medical care but looks at everything the patient experiences: smells, sounds, greetings, hospital gowns, security and appointment scheduling." The clinic's "guiding principle — patients first — is used as a mantra by chief executive Toby Cosgrove, who weaves patient experience stories into all of his presentations," according to the story. "Everyone at the hospital, regardless of his or her job, is called a "caregiver." Through this simple change in vocabulary, Cleveland Clinic is able to send an important signal to everyone in the organization about what's expected." Borrowing from the hospitality industry, the authors write, the Clinic "has even paid attention to the scent in the air. No antiseptic aroma; the air smells like a signature fragrance favored by four-star hotel chains. Everything from the way doctors talk to patients (in plain English, and with a willingness to answer questions until there are none left), to the hospital gowns (designed by Diane von Furstenberg to combine ease of access with a touch of dignity), to the clear, concise bills you receive after checking out reflects a commitment to simplifying the interaction between a human being and a large, complex medical establishment."
Editor's Choice
In a complex world, Cleveland Clinic is a model of simplicity
Making their case: The Timken Co. is pushing back against the proposal by The California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) and Relational Investors to separate the company's Steel and Bearings and Power Transmission business. The Canton company has launched a website, at www.TimkenDrivesValue.com, which it says "contains important information for shareholders regarding its board's recommendation to vote AGAINST the proposal to spinoff the steel business." Timken also filed an updated investor presentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it says highlights "the flaws" in the analysis behind the shareholder proposal from CalSTRS and Relational. In a statement, the company said, "The materials released today are critical to aid Timken shareholders in developing a clear understanding of the flaws in the proposal from CalSTRS and Relational Investors as well as the tremendous value we believe is created by our integrated business model." Tradition meets technology: The Cleveland Indians rate a mention in this USA Today story about baseball teams on the cutting edge of technology and advanced statistical analytics. The story focuses primarily on the San Francisco Giants, the defending World Series champs and, perhaps not coincidentally, one of the most sophisticated users of technology. For instance, the team "contracts more than 10 firms — among them, Inside Edge and Sportvision — for the best available data, video and technology," according to USA Today. The Giants also were the first to use FieldF/X, a system within ballparks that captures defensive data. "The Giants are at or near the leading edge," says Vince Gennaro, author of "Diamond Dollars: The Economics of Winning in Baseball" and a consultant to Major League Baseball teams, including the Indians. "Technology gives teams a deep level of knowledge about fans and their players. It's really applicable to most industries." USA Today notes that the Indians, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox "are considered the most sophisticated practitioners of analytics in baseball," according to Mr. Gennaro and others. Congratulations are in order: You've hit the marriage big-time when The New York Times writes about your wedding, so Dr. Pamela Bowes Davis and James Patrick Herget have a lot to celebrate. They were married Saturday near the Case Western Reserve University campus. Dr. Davis, 63, is the vice president for medical affairs at Case Western Reserve and dean of its medical school. Mr. Herget, 68, is an independent executive search consultant in Cleveland. The story notes they met in 2008 at a reception at Harcourt House. Then, as these Times wedding stories usually do, it gets quite charming. From the story: Mr. Herget, who had lived in a house across the street for almost 60 years, was sitting alone and Dr. Davis went over and introduced herself. They hit it off. "She's brilliant, but she's also very nice," Mr. Herget said. "A unique combination." Dr. Davis described Mr. Herget as "very gentlemanly." She added, "After 45 minutes, I realized I wasn't mingling!" He asked for her card. They had lunch, after which they began seeing each other on a regular basis. "When somebody in my position shows up with an escort a couple of times, people go, 'Ohhh!' " Dr. Davis said.

|Version 1
|Breaklog 2
|Release date
|Group(s) 3
Known Issues:
rdseed 5.3.1 is the current release and has four primary issues that IRIS DMC staff are looking into.
- compatibility issues with summary files produced by JWEED 4.1 (Linux)
- segmentation faulting when attempting to produce SAC files with user-compiled code coupled with a JWEED summary file
- user difficulty building rdseed from source using the latest gcc (Linux, Mac)
- gain of CSS output for infrasound channels off by 10^9
IRIS currently has limited resources to support rdseed and response time regarding rdseed issues may be longer than normal. Nonetheless, we are endeavoring to put out new releases to address these reported problems. Thank you for your patience.
rdseed is IRIS DMC`s legacy utility for reading SEED volumes, the FDSN-approved file format for representing and distributing digital seismic data. This utility allows the user to read the contents of the SEED file and convert it to many different output formats, extracting the data, station information, or instrument responses from the file.
rdseed reads and interprets Standard for Exchange of Earthquake Data (SEED) files. This is the format defined by the Federation of Digital Seismographic Networks (FDSN) to represent seismic data. According to the command line function option specified by the user, rdseed will read the volume and recover the volume table of contents (
-c option), the set of abbreviation dictionaries (
-a option), or station and channel information and instrument response tables (
-s option).
The desired sequential volume in a file or on tape can be selected with the (
-v option). The first volume is `1`, the second `2` and so forth. Note: this option only applies to physical volumes that contain multiple logical volumes.
Additional options allow access to detailed information concerning the actual contents of the volume. The first of these options (
-t) writes out a list of data start and stop times along with the starting record sequence numbers at which those data may be found. The other option (
-l) is primarily a diagnostic tool; it writes a description of every record in the volume.
As data is extracted from the SEED volume, rdseed looks at the orientation and sensitivity of each channel to determine if the channel polarity is reversed. Refer to the description of blockettes 52 and 58 in the SEED manual for a description of reversed polarity. A negative sensitivity in blockette 58 is indicative of a reversed polarity. The user can request that reversed channels be corrected (
-z option). This correction is a simple multiplication by -1.0 to the data samples for that specific channel. The output response file information is NOT adjusted for channels where rdseed inverts the data.

Tackle Rashad Butler has missed 30 of the last 32 games after tearing his triceps twice and he'll be trying to get his career back on track in Cleveland this season.
Butler's agent Ken Sarnoff tweeted out congratulations to Butler on signing a deal with the Browns. No financial terms have been announced for the deal with Butler, who entered the league as a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2006. He never played for Carolina, joining the Texans the next year and playing in 42 games with Houston.
Butler had a shot to become the right tackle last summer after Eric Winston left the team, but wound up being beaten out by Derek Newton during camp. Butler's injury might have made losing that competition a moot point, but he was ticketed for a backup role all the same.
He'll be trying to land the same role in Cleveland. Joe Thomas and Mitchell Schwartz are set as the team's starters at left and right tackle respectively, leaving Butler to fight for a job against Oniel Cousins, 2013 seventh-round pick Garrett Gilkey and others.
