Accounting for Decay of Linkage Disequilibrium in Haplotype Inference and Missing-Data Imputation The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 76, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 449-462 Matthew Stephens and Paul Scheet Abstract Although many algorithms exist for estimating haplotypes from genotype data, none of them take full account of both the decay of linkage disequilibrium (LD) with distance and the order and spacing of genotyped markers. Here, we describe an algorithm that does take these factors into account, using a flexible model for the decay of LD with distance that can handle both "blocklike" and "nonblocklike" patterns of LD. We compare the accuracy of this approach with a range of other available algorithms in three ways: for reconstruction of randomly paired, molecularly determined male X chromosome haplotypes; for reconstruction of haplotypes obtained from trios in an autosomal region; and for estimation of missing genotypes in 50 autosomal genes that have been completely resequenced in 24 African Americans and 23 individuals of European descent. For the autosomal data sets, our new approach clearly outperforms the best available methods, whereas its accuracy in inferring the X chromosome haplotypes is only slightly superior. For estimation of missing genotypes, our method performed slightly better when the two subsamples were combined than when they were analyzed separately, which illustrates its robustness to population stratification. Our method is implemented in the software package PHASE (v2.1.1), available from the Stephens Lab Web site. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (505 kb) |
Haplotype Diversity across 100 Candidate Genes for Inflammation, Lipid Metabolism, and Blood Pressure Regulation in Two Populations The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 74, Issue 4, 1 April 2004, Pages 610-622 Dana C. Crawford, Christopher S. Carlson, Mark J. Rieder, Dana P. Carrington, Qian Yi, Joshua D. Smith, Michael A. Eberle, Leonid Kruglyak and Deborah A. Nickerson Abstract Recent studies have suggested that a significant fraction of the human genome is contained in blocks of strong linkage disequilibrium, ranging from ∼5 to >100 kb in length, and that within these blocks a few common haplotypes may account for >90% of the observed haplotypes. Furthermore, previous studies have suggested that common haplotypes in candidate genes are generally shared across populations and represent the majority of chromosomes in each population. The conclusions drawn from these preliminary studies, however, are based on an incomplete knowledge of the variation in the regions examined. To bridge this gap in knowledge, we have completely resequenced 100 candidate genes in a population of African descent and one of European descent. Although these genes have been well studied because of their medical importance, we demonstrate that a large amount of sequence variation has not yet been described. We also report that the average number of inferred haplotypes per gene, when complete data is used, is higher than in previous reports and that the number and proportion of all haplotypes represented by common haplotypes per gene is variable. Furthermore, we demonstrate that haplotypes shared between the two populations constitute only a fraction of the total number of haplotypes observed and that these shared haplotypes represent fewer of the African-descent chromosomes than was expected from previous studies. Finally, we show that restricting variation discovery to coding regions does not adequately describe all common haplotypes or the true haplotype block structure observed when all common variation is used to infer haplotypes. These data, derived from complete knowledge of genetic variation in these genes, suggest that the haplotype architecture of candidate genes across the human genome is more complex than previously suggested, with important implications for candidate gene and genomewide association studies.

Selection and Evaluation of Tagging SNPs in the Neuronal-Sodium-Channel Gene SCN1A: Implications for Linkage-Disequilibrium Gene Mapping The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 73, Issue 3, 1 September 2003, Pages 551-565 Mike E. Weale, Chantal Depondt, Stuart J. Macdonald, Alice Smith, Poh San Lai, Simon D. Shorvon, Nicholas W. Wood and David B. Goldstein Abstract Association studies are widely seen as the most promising approach for finding polymorphisms that influence genetically complex traits, such as common diseases and responses to their treatment. Considerable interest has therefore recently focused on the development of methods that efficiently screen genomic regions or whole genomes for gene variants associated with complex phenotypes. One key element in this search is the use of linkage disequilibrium to gain maximal information from typing a selected subset of highly informative single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, now often called "tagging SNPs" (tSNPs). Probably the most common approach to linkage-disequilibrium gene mapping involves a three-step program: (1) characterization of the haplotype structure in candidate genes or genomic regions of interest, (2) identification of tSNPs sufficient to represent the most common haplotypes, and (3) typing of tSNPs in clinical material. Early definitions of tSNPs focused on the amount of haplotype diversity that they explained. To select tSNPs that would have maximal power in a genetic association study, however, we have developed optimization criteria based on the r2 measure of association and have compared these with other criteria based on the haplotype diversity. To evaluate the full program and to assess how well the selected tags are likely to perform, we have determined the haplotype structure and have assessed tSNPs in the SCN1A gene, an important candidate gene for sporadic epilepsy. We find that as few as four tSNPs are predicted to maintain a consistently high r2 value with all other common SNPs in the gene, indicating that the tags could be used in an association study with only a modest reduction in power relative to direct assays of all common SNPs. This implies that very large case-control studies can be screened for variation in hundreds of candidate genes with manageable experimental effort, once tSNPs are identified. However, our results also show that tSNPs identified in one population may not necessarily perform well in another, indicating that the preliminary study to identify tSNPs and the later case-control study should be performed in the same population. Our results also indicate that tSNPs will not easily identify discrepant SNPs, which lie on importantly discriminating but apparently short genealogical branches. This could significantly complicate tagging approaches for phenotypes influenced by variants that have experienced positive selection. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (900 kb) |

Shin Lin, David J. Cutler, Michael E. Zwick and Aravinda Chakravarti,
Address for correspondence and reprints: Dr. Aravinda Chakravarti, McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21287Contemporary genotyping and sequencing methods do not provide information on linkage phase in diploid organisms. The application of statistical methods to infer and reconstruct linkage phase in samples of diploid sequences is a potentially time- and labor-saving method. The Stephens-Smith-Donnelly (SSD) algorithm is one such method, which incorporates concepts from population genetics theory in a Markov chain–Monte Carlo technique. We applied a modified SSD method, as well as the expectation-maximization and partition-ligation algorithms, to sequence data from eight loci spanning >1 Mb on the human X chromosome. We demonstrate that the accuracy of the modified SSD method is better than that of the other algorithms and is superior in terms of the number of sites that may be processed. Also, we find phase reconstructions by the modified SSD method to be highly accurate over regions with high linkage disequilibrium (LD). If only polymorphisms with a minor allele frequency >0.2 are analyzed and scored according to the fraction of neighbor relations correctly called, reconstructions are 95.2% accurate over entire 100-kb stretches and are 98.6% accurate within blocks of high LD.

Wreck-It Ralph, the forthcoming animation from Disney, has released a first teaser poster, featuring the titular antihero's face in glorious 8-bit pixels.
The film will follow the adventures of Ralph (John C. Reilly), the nominal bad guy in an arcade game called Fix-It Felix. Ralph is good at his job, but let's face it… villains don't get much love, particularly in video games.
So, when a shiny, first-person shooter is installed in Ralph's arcade, he can't resist the opportunity to have a bash at playing the hero. Soon enough he's sneaked from one game to the other, but his would-be heroics soon unleash a deadly virus that threatens every game in the arcade.
Can Ralph save the day? Luckily for him there's a troublemaking glitch (Sarah Silverman) from a neighbouring racing game who might just be able to avert crisis, before it's too late…
Featuring vocal support from the likes of Jane Lynch and Jack McBrayer, Wreck-It Ralph will open in the UK on 15 February 2013. In the meantime, you can check out the poster in all its blocky glory, below.

As a grease monkey script its pretty awesome, runs exactly how it should an does how it should. I wish I got this script when the annoying fan pages first came out on face book an they where everywhere.
The site has a great idea in where you can see the fan pages without even having to do the scungie inviting all your friends and stuff and if pages haven't been added you can submit them an there normally heaps quick in adding them
The only con now is that the fan pages fad has died down, which makes the script not anywhere near as useful as it used to be :(, still on the occasion it works good. But makes me wonder where its going to go from now

Hello ladies, I'm weighing my options (rent vs. buy) and would really appreciate your insight on this: why is buying (rather than renting) a wedding dress important to you? And on the flipside, why do you think the groom doesn't buy his tux? Thanks for your help! Edited by: MsNomer on Jan 8, 2013 7:30 PM
There are women who rent wedding dresses instead of buying. In fact, renting rather than buying a wedding dress does not make the process less complicated. If you rent a wedding gown,you will have to sign a rental agreement and it might include what you are obliged to do in case the wedding dress gets damaged. Therefore, you need to check if there are damages or other minor problems on the gown and report it directly to the person in charge. In addition,you also have the condition of the gown stated in the contract to avoid disagreements the moment you pay your bill. Every girl dreams about wearing the perfect dress for the perfect day.So if you rent a wedding dress, you have to be extra careful on your wedding day/night as the dress isn't yours.Renting can be a much more affordable option, but then you have to take into consideration that there may be some rather extreme limitations on what you can do in the way of altering it.However, If you buy a wedding dress, then you have much more freedom when it comes to alterations.
Thanks for the reply! Wow, that is a lot to consider. I hadn't thought of how limiting renting a dress can be or how I could end up damaging it while renting. Or worse, renting a dress that was already damaged! I still wonder why men don't buy their tuxedos, then -- renting seems like such a pain if you have to be so careful on your wedding day/ night. Almost seems more worth it for him to buy too ...
There is an old saying about wedding tradition that something old, something new,something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe.Each item in this phrase stands for good-luck for the bride.If she has all of them on her wedding day,she will live a happy marriage life."Something old" represents continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" implies optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage will carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item means the bride can depend on her friends and family.Generally speaking, the bride will choose buying a wedding dress as something new. And they usually wear some wedding accessories like necklace or earrings as something old. It is just tradition.
Now a days people are more towards renting their dress instead of buying it as its of no use after the wedding day so choice of renting for one day is preferred by most. Also its cheap option.
plus size pants
If you rent a wedding dress, you will have a limited selection, as you have to choose from the limited designs available for rental in the salon. In many cases, you cannot make alterations and can only choose a size nearing your size. If the dress you love doesn't fit, you have to go for another one. You may also have to pay separately for alteration charges. You also have to be very careful the whole time not to damage the dress as it has to be returned and you will have to pay for any damages. If it is badly damaged, you may end up having to buy the dress. Also, you do not have a family heirloom to pass on to your children. Besides, buying a wedding dress can be quite convenient now, you will have more choices. Angeldress.co.uk

How to Choose a Salesforce Consulting Partner
by Dave Averill, Customer Success Manager, Salesforce.com Foundation
Over the years I have talked to many customers on their journey toward Salesforce and CRM "nirvana". Choosing the right partner to walk this road with you can be difficult. Here are some strategies that I recommend when you are trying to select a partner:
Learn Before You Buy
Be an informed buyer. You are stepping into a framework with amazing capabilities out of the box and limitless possibilities when you consider additional applications. Watch the free demo videos on both the salesforce.com and the Salesforce.com Foundation website to get a sense of what's possible. If you are generally intimidated by technology then be sure to find someone on your staff who can support you. Hint: find a millennial.
Set a Goal to Find Two to Three Finalists
Here are a few ways:
- Use the App Exchange to find a certified partner - Find reviews of partners, their products and learn where they are.
- If you know you are going to be purchasing licenses from the Salesforce.com Foundation, then contact your Account Executive (call 1-800-NOSOFTWARE to get connected with your AE) and tell them a bit about your project and ask who they might recommend.
- Use your network to find a recommended partner. Look for someone who is in an organization with your similar size and needs. Ideally, they can educate and support you on lessons learned as well. The old rule of buyer beware no longer applies. There is a multitude of information about potential consultants, their products and projects at your fingertips.
- Post a Request for Proposal (RFP) – See next tip.
- Don't fall in love with your RFP- A RFP is your best thinking from your current point of view. The only problem might be that you are completely inexperienced in building CRM's, don't fully grasp what problems they can solve, and need help to make sure you are innovating and not just making a copy of old, out of date software. It is ok to have a RFP, but use the RFP to start a discussion and get a list of interested consultants.That's right! You are on the hunt for people you can talk to rather than evaluate on paper. Imagine going to a Doctor and giving him a list of your ailments and trying to find out who can give you want you think you want for the lowest cost. Good consultants have a process. Learn what it is, ask for demos and case studies and determine if you are a fit for how they work.
- Look for an Expert not an Order Taker – Experts are more expensive, ask probing questions that you might not like, and take the lead in your project. They have seen hundreds of projects like yours before and know what the conditions for success are and have a developed process they can walk you through. Order takers are developers who do exactly what you tell them to do. Frankly, you want the former. Additionally, find a partner who is an expert at your type of organizational model if you can. Some partners are great at serving direct service organizations and some are great at serving grassroots environmental organizations.
- Have a Budget – If you don't have a budget, then you are not looking for a consultant, you are looking for a pro-bono volunteer. It is hard to find good volunteers and they can have very mixed results that may haunt you for years. You get what you pay for often applies here. Additionally, talk budget ranges with your potential consultants as soon as possible and make sure you are in the right ballpark.
- Beware of Data Migration Costs – Do not underestimate the value and the difficulty of bringing your legacy data into Salesforce. Salesforce isn't hard, but data is, especially when you are merging data from your outlook contacts, multiple excel spreadsheets, Evite, Microsoft Access, your email newsletter database, etc. Data migration can get complicated quickly, it is hard to estimate, it can be very expensive (I have seen it be 5% – 40% of a project budget) and it is worth every penny. If you do not trust your data in your new Salesforce system, your project has a high likelihood of failing.
- Project Management Methodologies – Understand the project management methodology of your consultant and be sure you feel good about the amount of input you will have on the project throughout. Ask to have completed work demoed early and often so you can learn how your new system works and guide it to success along the way.
- Consider These Important Roles- Here are some of the more important roles you may need filled internally and by your partner. Be clear on this before you start your project:
- Strategic Consultant – Salesforce is a powerful platform that can be used for anything from simple contact management to designing a completely new interactive engagement tool for your users. If your aspirations are high with Salesforce you will want to find a consultant who can lead you through a process to identify innovative ways to build new relationships with those who matter most to your mission. If your organization wants to transform how you work you need to find a firm that has a process that connects the future of your mission to Salesforce.
- Data or Requirements Architect – How does your consultant build your requirements? How do they hand them off to their developers? When do I agree to a full project scope before or after this analysis is done?
- Change Management Consultant – For larger organizations, you are not only considering a technology project but it is an entire change management project. Many organizations underestimate the need they have to plan and prepare for this change. Most consultants will provide you with simple assistance here but sometimes failure to give change management enough attention can derail or slow adoption significantly.
- Technical Project Management – This is simply managing the consultants work items as assigned. Most consultancies you work with should be good at managing their own tasks.
- Organizational Project Management – In order for your consultant to be successful they will need someone at your organization to manage the requests they have from you. For example they will need someone to manage access to the right staff, to data they need, to coordinate project plans to accommodate major organizational blackout dates.
- Project Sponsor/Administrator(s) – This is obviously an internal resource at your organization that needs to be in place. This may be the same person as #2. Note that this person is your new most important staff person. They are going to have the institutional knowledge of how your new system was architected, deployed and works. They will know how to help people build reports, fix future problems and reason with the slow adopters. This person will be where you invest Salesforce training and skills. This person is committed to your organization and you should not be going on sabbatical in the middle of your project or leaving right at the end of it.
- Consultant Management – For larger projects, you will likely have more than one consultant involved. Who is going to manage those consultants and who do you point to if an integration between your website, your email newsletter, and Salesforce stops working. Either you need to own that or determine if you need to pay your consultant to own that responsibility. Similar to a housing remodel, you need to be clear who is holding the general contractor responsibilities.
- Phase your Engagements – Trust your consultant and let that trust build by doing phased approaches to your project. Consider paying for discovery separate from your implementation so you can feel confident in the recommendations before you sign the bigger check.
- Ongoing Support and Long Term Relationship – Talk about what happens after you complete your project and think clearly about what happens next. If you are implementing a deep and wide implementation you need to find a partner who has a clear support and account management program as you consider future improvements.
My final bit of advice is find a partner you are planning to trust . If possible meet all the players who will be on your project. Consulting is a people business. Find the best your money can buy.

OpenFlow is a communications protocol that gives access to the forwarding plane of a network switch or router over the network.[1]
The Open Networking Foundation (ONF), a user-led organization dedicated to promotion and adoption of software-defined networking (SDN),[2] manages the OpenFlow standard.[3] ONF defines OpenFlow as the first standard communications interface defined between the control and forwarding layers of an SDN architecture. OpenFlow allows direct access to and manipulation of the forwarding plane of network devices such as switches and routers, both physical and virtual (hypervisor-based). It is the absence of an open interface to the forwarding plane that has led to the characterization of today's networking devices as monolithic, closed, and mainframe-like. A protocol like OpenFlow is needed to move network control out of proprietary network switches and into control software that's open source and locally managed.[4]
In simpler terms, OpenFlow allows the path of network packets through the network of switches to be determined by software running on multiple routers (minimum two of them — primary and secondary — has a role of observers). This separation of the control from the forwarding allows for more sophisticated traffic management than is feasible using access control lists (ACLs) and routing protocols. Its inventors consider OpenFlow an enabler of SDN.
A number of network switch and router vendors have announced intent to support or are shipping supported switches for OpenFlow, including Alcatel-Lucent,[5] Big Switch Networks,[6] Brocade Communications,[7] Arista Networks,NoviFlow, Cisco, Dell Force10, Extreme Networks, IBM, Juniper Networks, Digisol, Larch Networks, Hewlett-Packard, NEC, and MikroTik.[8] Some network control plane implementations use the protocol to manage the network forwarding elements.[9] OpenFlow is mainly used between the switch and controller on a secure channel. A fairly comprehensive list of OpenFlow-related products may be found on the ONF website and the SDNCentral website.
Version 1.1 of the OpenFlow protocol was released on February 28, 2011, and new development of the standard was managed by the Open Networking Foundation (ONF).[10] In December 2011, the ONF board approved OpenFlow version 1.2 and published it in February 2012.[11] The current version of OpenFlow is 1.4.[12]
Indiana University in May 2011 launched a SDN Interoperability Lab in conjunction with the Open Networking Foundation to test how well different vendors' Software-Defined Networking and OpenFlow products work together.[13]
In February 2012, Big Switch Networks released Project Floodlight, an Apache-licensed open-source software OpenFlow Controller,[14] and announced its OpenFlow-based SDN Suite in November of that year, which contains a commercial controller, and virtual switching and tap monitoring applications.[15]
In February 2012, HP said it is supporting the standard on 16 of its Ethernet switch products.[16]
In April 2012, Google's Urs Hölzle described how the company's internal network had been completely re-designed over the previous two years to run under OpenFlow with substantial efficiency improvement.[17]
In January 2013, NEC unveiled a virtual switch for Microsoft's Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hypervisor, which is designed to bring OpenFlow-based software-defined networking and network virtualisation to those Microsoft environments.[18]

Posted over 6 years ago I am trying to choose a career path and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist cross my path. I was just wondering how this career will be. Like will it be fun, scary, or what? I guess I would like to know about its enviroment. |

| Posted over 6 years ago CRNA is, to my knowledge, the highest paid RN, more than Nurse Researcher. But the admission to the program isn't easy. First there are only a handful colleges in each state that offer the program, that means very few seats and thus a very selecive admissions process. No offence but if you didn't do well in college (I mean honors well) and get an outstanding score on the GRE, save your application fees! Because it is a lucrative career, there is no shortage of applicants and the progam is attrition based, they don't try to make sure you succeed. Plent more people will apply next year. That is the other thing, most schools only start the program once, maybe twice, a year. But, if you're bright (and an excellent student) there is a very good chance you can do well as a CRNA. As for prerequisites, the pograms I know require at least one year of ICU/Critical Care experience and of course, as it is a masters program, completion of your BSN. |

| Posted about 6 years ago I'm surprised there aren't more questions Nursing Anesthesia. I recently applied and was accepted and can't wait to start. All the above is true regarding admission and pay. In addition, it is a highly rewarding career choice for the RN that wants a degree in advance practice nursing. Obviously different from an NP, your task is to balance all of a patients pre/co-existing conditions AND the dynamic effects of anesthesia. I feel that very few RN's are ready for this program with only one year of ICU/Critcal care experience (expecially if they are new to nursing). However, many students of this nature do graduate and practice well. The struggle lies in learning what kind of nurse you are and how you want to practice. Learning this takes well over a year. Additional pre-requisites may include current coursework for Anatomy, Physiology, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. Most schools want these classes to be 7-10 years current. Many RN's considering CRNA school take these courses again in order to meet the requirements AND to review, despite having A's in them the first time around. The best part about this is that now the information is applicable to practice! I LOVED taking pathophysiology again and felt I got so much more out of it the second time. This is turning into a book, so I'll stop. I hope this post is helpful. I'm at work on the "graveyard" shift. Things get a little fuzzy after 3am! |

| Posted over 4 years ago Nurse anesthestists show the HIGHEST job satisfation scores in nursing... I will find the data and post it.. I have only known 3 CRNAs who left the profession... 2 went to medical school and the other quit to practice law. It is not only about the pay ( I must say I have zero complaints ) it is mostly about the autonomy, resposibility and professional respect we get. Cheers |

| Posted over 4 years ago SEVOFLURANE says ... It is interesting that two went to medical school. I have heard that many M.D. anesthesiologists say that if they could do it all over again, they would have gone the CRNA route. |

| Posted 7 months ago Working as a Certified Registered Nurse Asthetist is a great career path. Every day will be a little bit different, and you will be faced with many challenges. As a CRNA, you may assess patients on a daily basis prior to surgery, administer anesthesia, and monitor vitals during surgery. You will also oversee the patient's recovery to ensure that it is pain-free and safe! For more info visit napaanesthesia |

What's Driving Heartland America? (Part 1)
As the U.S. economy shows signs of strengthening, the rail companies should manage to also strengthen. The OECD expects GDP growth to be up 2% in 2013 before rising to 2.8% in 2014. Rail companies are fundamental for moving a variety of products across America on a daily basis. The top rail companies moving products across the U.S. include: Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC), Genesse & Wyoming (NYSE: GWR), CSX Corp (NYSE: CSX), Kansas City Southern (NYSE: KSU) and Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP).
These various rail companies are also seeing a boost from rising demand in oil, where the rail companies are becoming a preference to pipelines. As far as the rail companies go, I'm putting my money on CSX. The stock pays investors a 2.7% dividend yield and is arguably the most undervalued company in the industry.

The PEG for CSX is at a 12.5% discount to other major rail companies Norfolk and Union. CSX is also a standout in relation to return on equity:

Not only do the valuation and return on equity numbers shape up best for CSX, but so does its growth when compared to Norfolk. The estimated five-year earnings growth for Norfolk comes in at 7%, versus CSX's 12.8%. It appears that CSX may well be one of the best ways to play the rebounding U.S. economy, assuming you believe in an impending rebound.

Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Mayor Vincent C. Gray today welcomed the latest data from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) showing that the District leads the nation in in promoting green building and sustainability. USGBC ranked D.C. as No. 1 per capita in its list of top 10 states for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified commercial and institutional green buildings during 2011. "I'm proud that the District is the national leader on green building design, which is integral to my goal to make us the most sustainable city in the world," Mayor Gray said. "LEED-certified buildings and green design in general will play a crucial long-term role in safeguarding our future by conserving precious resources – paying dividends not only for the Earth's health, but also for the District's livability." Last year, the District led all other states in the country with 31.5 square feet of LEED-certified space per resident and a total of 18,954,022 square feet of LEED-certified space in commercial and institutional buildings. Colorado placed a distant second, with 2.74 LEED-certified square feet per capita and more than 13 million square feet of LEED-certified space. The USGBC's rankings add to the national recognition of the District's leadership in sustainability, starting with the passage of the Green Building Act in 2006. The Green Building Act requires new and substantially improved District-government-owned or -financed buildings to meet LEED-certification standards for environmental performance. The law also applies the same requirements to private commercial construction starting in January 2012. "As the densest and most urbanized state, with perhaps the most progressive and enlightened development community as well as the remarkable Green Building Act, it is absolutely no surprise that D.C. would lead these green building rankings," said Harriet Tregoning, Director of the D.C. Office of Planning. USGBC data also show that, compared to other U.S. cities, the District ranks second in the number of combined Certified and Registered LEED buildings, with a total of 880 structures. The District has 657 LEED-registered and 223 LEED-certified buildings. New York City ranks first among cities in the category, with a total of 898 Certified and Registered LEED buildings, while Chicago ranks third with 784 buildings. Counting only LEED-certified buildings, D.C. comes in third behind New York and Chicago. Chicago, with a population of 2.7 million, is home to 299 LEED-certified buildings. New York City, with 8.2 million residents, has 224 LEED-certified structures. The District – with less than a fourth of Chicago's population and less than a twelfth of New York's – has only one fewer LEED-certified building than the Big Apple. "This recognition reflects the market value of sustainable practices – a tribute to those who desire healthy spaces and the creative and committed response of D.C.'s architects, engineers and builders," said Christophe A. G. Tulou, Director of the District Department of the Environment. "This is just one more example of how the District of Columbia is becoming the most sustainable city in the country." D.C. Sustainability Plan Under the Gray Administration, District government officials and D.C. residents are completing a plan to ensure that Washington is the most sustainable city in the nation. The plan will establish goals and recommendations for achievement in nine areas: the green economy, energy, climate change, water, transportation, waste, food, the built environment and the natural environment.

Esoteric Yoga - weekly course over four weeks
Esoteric Yoga - weekly course over four weeks
Starting on Thursday 7th February 2013, The Lighthouse will be offering an Esoteric Yoga course running over four consecutive weeks. This course is open to all, and no prior experience of conventional yoga is necessary. The class will take place in 'the Coachhouse' venue within the Lighthouse courtyard, and will start promptly at 11.30am for an hour.
Esoteric Yoga - a chance to simply stop! This gentle technique is an opportunity to spend time with yourself, helping develop your awareness of what is happening within your body, which gradually opens up the relationship to yourself in a new way, and the tendency to self-nurture outside of the classes. There are no challenging poses or expectations set, other than to be willing to take the time to connect to you and feel what your body is communicating to you.
Investment: £40 for the four week course (ie £10 per class)
If you would like to discuss the course further, please contact Rosanna by email, or call 07710 777801.

Edmond St. Clair stabbed to death on UMES campus
Police are searching for three suspects in the stabbing death of a University of Maryland Eastern Shore student from Severn.
Edmond St. Clair, 21, was pronounced dead at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury around 9:30 p.m. Saturday. The student had stab wounds to his upper torso, police say.
Police say St. Clair, a junior, was stabbed while sitting with his brother and another man in a car that belonged to St. Clair's girlfriend. While they were driving through the Somerset campus, police say they encountered a small group of people walking in the street. A fight broke out and St. Clair was stabbed.
St. Clair's brother, who was visiting for the weekend, ran to a campus police officer's car and reported that his brother had been stabbed. St. Clair was found lying on the road next to the car.
In a release, university president Juliette Bell says her thoughts and prayers are with St. Clair's family.
Police say the attack was not random and appeared to have grown out of an argument or ongoing dispute.
The suspects are only described as black men in their late teens or early twenties.
Saturday was the culmination of the university's annual homecoming week.

I'm a mature gent who likes to make friends with interesting people, especially other authors. I hope to add my erotic stories here and will definitely write more if inspired by others. I can see by the pics that there are some very lovely bodies...I mean people here. My oh my, what HOT members. If per chance someone recognizes me, please don't judge me for being here just be respectful and message me. I try to stay fairly undercover , but I also feel members should see who I am. I will from time to time post other avatar pics just for variety, so if you see a female pic here just write me for my pic. I love to make freinds and exchange ideas and fantasies and true stories, as well. I welcome anyone to write me and ask me anything.
What a interesting question.My choices are several adies and they know who'd they would be, but I must be a gentleman though and not name anyone. I can tell you this....if any of my lady friends took me up on giving them a warm oil erotic massage, I'm sure things would get HOT very fast.
A full body warm oil massage usually does the trick.
I have been losing friends from my friends list unadvertiently. ie, rancherswife and I Pm but I cannot see her profile therefore not online message her. I have sent numerous friends requests and she says she replies with a yes, but I never receive them. Can anyone help me?Thanks Gary "JB"Happy Holidays to all!!!
A name I used on some first stories. Just kept it.
Wedges and other toys from Liberator are amazing. Me' ladies loved the wedge. Gave me better penetrstion and the ladies jsut loved that. It's great fro rear entry. Put the toosh in jsut the right angle for a very deep one.
Hell YESSSS!!!!
There is just way to much impatience with ourselves. Jealousy keeps u sfrom being sesitive and understanding. Our society is way to prudish and we still aren't very nice to disabled people.
I have revealed more personal things to a few persons, only a very select few. I do change my avatar at times, but today it's me. Gary hair and hat. I regard myself as a gentleman and trust people until they give me reason not to. I did recently get duped but that's a rare thing indeed. Yes, "JB" is a pen name, but all my friends know my real name, Gary. Now you all know it. Cheers.
Most definitely. She had me at "Hello" with her green eyes. She was a great lover.
G scale Garden Railroads and gardening. Yes these railroads can be outside all year round. NightFox...love your flashing statement.

Heat the oil in a large stockpot over high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, skimming off the cloudy scum that rises to the surface. (Be careful not to skim off the herbs and peppercorns when you do this.) Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 2 hours.
Skim the surface of the stock, strain through a large fine-mesh sieve, and allow to cool thoroughly*. Discard the bones and vegetables. Refrigerate overnight. The next day, use a spoon to remove any congealed fat from the surface. Freeze the stock in 2- or 4-cup containers or ice-cube trays for use in individual dishes. Keeps for 1 month.
Note: A good method of cooling stock quickly to avoid bacterial invasion is to place the hot stockpot in a sink filled with ice-cold water. When the temperatures have equalized, refrigerate the stock.
Yield: 3 quarts

Edward Durrell Stone House, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Modern in the 1950s and 1960s and modern now mean two entirely different things. Case in point, this home built by famed architect Edward Durell Stone in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1959. This peaked roof mid-century modern went through a major restoration in 2006/07. The 4400 square foot home now has a new Snaidero kitchen and new bathrooms with plenty of stone and those glass bowl sinks that are currently so popular. The home has four bedrooms and there are 12 pyramid skylights total. The estate also includes a reflecting pool and a home theater. My question for you is whether or not the restoration fits the home. While I think the kitchen is a match, the bathrooms seem a bit too au courant rather than classic modern. This estate is listed at $4.9 million.


text: Earlier this week, the Thai government extradited [JURIST report] Bout to the US to stand trail. In October, Bout filed an appeal [JURIST report] challenging the Bangkok Criminal Court's decision to dismiss [JURIST report] money laundering and fraud charges against him, which removed obstacles to his US extradition. According to Bout's lawyer Lak Nitiwatanavichan, the arms dealer was seeking to have these charges reinstated [Bangkok Post report] to avoid extradition to the US. In August, an appeals court in Thailand ruled that Bout could be extradited [JURIST report] to the US. The court's ruling overturned a decision it issued a year earlier, refusing to extradite Bout [JURIST report] on the basis that the accusations made by the US were not cognizable under Thai law.

Great Shoe
I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!! I bought 2 pairs last summer and love them. They are so comfortable!! I am now buying 2 more pairs!!
Whitinsville, MA
Comfy, Cute, but Cheap
These shoes are the perfect height, are very comfortable, and look great. The price is right too. However, like most shoes with a buckle, I just slide them on instead of undoing the buckle. Unfortunately one shoes strap split at the seam on the left side (opposite the buckle). I was able fix it, since it was my own fault for not "un-buckling" them first, but now I just am VERY careful when sliding them on. I would consider another pair of these, now knowing they are a bit more cheaply made.
Columbia, SC
The ideal summer shoe
When I find a great shoe, I buy in every color I need. This IS THE summer shoe, Ladies! I love the nude. It's such a great color, and so versatile and sexy! I also bought the white, navy and black. They are cute, comfortable, and easy to walk and dance in. With the ankle strap, my foot (7.5 M) feels very secure and the toe strap is just snug enough, too. While not the best quality, they are a good deal, and I expect them to last at least one season. Please don't stop making them!
Fresno, CA
Just perfect!
These are the most versatile, comfortable heels I have. I can wear them 12-15 hrs no problem. Wish they were still in the 3 3/4" heel so I could buy more! Please bring those back! Perfect shoe to wear with anything & several colors to choose from.
Thomasville, NC
Gorgeous shoes
These shoes are absolutely beautiful! I bought them in nude and silver and I can't wait for the warmer weather to wear them! They are the PERFECT HEIGHT! I plan to purchase all the colors!!
York, Pa
These have style, and they have comfort!I've bought six pairs, and am thinking of buying more to hoard them! FABULOUS!!!!!

Great Summer Shoe
I love these shoes! I was afraid they would be uncomfortable, but they very comfortable. The heel height is just right and so stylish. I initially bought two colors and was so pleased I ordered two more colors. I would recommend these to everyone.
Savannah, GA
Cute & Comfortable
These are the cutest, comfortable shoes. I can't normally wear high heels for very long and I wore these to two weddings and danced all night!

Meets: Thursday 2-5, room 36-156
Enrollment limited, Permission of instructor required
There is a large amount of reading to do in preparation for the first class on September 5. See the class page for September 5.Enrollment will be limited, and permission of instructor is required. Anyone interested in enrolling must request permission by filling out this form. In this class, we will consider the interaction between law, policy, and technology as they relate to the evolving controversies over control of the Internet. Our goal is for participants to develop the technical, legal and rhetorical skills to analyze and participate in the evolution of the global public policy environments that govern human behavior on the Internet. Topics include: history of Internet policy, relationship between technical architecture and law, privacy, cybersecurity, freedom of expression, intellectual property, electronic surveillance, trade policy, and international affairs. Examples will be drawn primarily from US law but take an explicitly global perspective on policy, politics and online activism. Students will interact with leading public-policy experts in classroom settings and through remote participation. There is an extensive final project that wil be done under the guidance of mentors who are national leaders in internet information policy issues. 6.805 counts as a Course 6 Advanced Undergraduate Subject (AUS) and also as a communications intensive (CI-M) subject. MIT Course 6 students may count 6.805 as one of the general engineering concentration subjects required for the S.B. or M.Eng. programs, or use this subject for HASS elective credit (but not both). Students wishing engineering concentration credit should enroll under the subject number 6.805, and students wishing HASS credit should enroll under the number STS085. Graduate credit can be granted through STS (not Course 6), although this will require making special arrangements with Prof. Fischer for extra work.
Students enrolling in the Course 6 MEng program can arrange to do an associated thesis in the area of information privacy, transparency, and accountability by simultaneously enrolling in 6.UAP, and completing an extended thesis proposal and preliminary implementation work by the end of the semester. The thesis can be continued the following semester, and there is a possibility of RA support for appropriately ambitious projects.
For a statement of class curricular goals, see the 6.805 Curricular Goals Map giving a dynamic graphical display connecting the class outcomes with the outcomes of other subjects in the Course 6 curriculum.
Student papers
Exemplary papers by students in the class in previous semesters.
A near-invisible niche for the vast majority of its existence, computer culture has only recently stepped into the big leagues and has yet to even learn the rules. Sprung from a world of digital absolutes, nerd brains are woefully unprepared for the fuzzy gray shadings inherent in the legal system. But if they can't play the game, they might as well just forfeit to save themselves the beatings.
-- Greg Knauss (Suck Magazine, Sep. 8, 2000)
The law is the instrument through which a technological revolution [the Internet] is undone. And since we have barely understood how technologists built this revolution, we don't even see when the lawyers take it away.
-- Larry Lessig (The Future of Ideas, 2001)

Year: 2012
Country: FRANCE
Run Time: 75 minutes
Just when Justine Malle was transitioning from a young girl to a woman, she found out her famous filmmaker father Louis was terminally ill. At 20 she was terribly awkward and unsure of herself, madly in love with a boy who didn't quite feel the same, and to top it off, still a virgin. The state of constant confusion her mind and body were experiencing made it hard to comprehend her dad's unfortunate fate. As her father begins to let go of his life, Justine begins to make sense of her own. As his door begins to close, hers is blown wide open. It's a silver lining in a very dark and difficult time. Although the story is only semi-autobiographical, there's enough reality to make you feel the complicated mix of devastation and excitement she was wrestling with. It's a creative and moving way of giving her father a proper goodbye. YOUTH may be centered around death, but it's actually more about finding life in the midst of it. (In French with subtitles) – E.F.

Product: Mobile > Cell Phones > AT&T Cell Phones > GT-I9020A
The GT-i9020A (Nexus S™) phone comes with Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen panel technology. This ultra brillant 4.0in display, operating at WVGA (800x480 pixels) technology, is capable of producing up to 16 million colors, has benefits over the 1st generation AMOLED, TFT, and LCD displays. The removal of the tradational air gap and upper glass layer offers greater visibility in bright light environments, free viewing angle, and faster response times. This also equates into having a slimmer form factor. As with AMOLED, the S-AMOELD generates images using a black pallete vs a white without a need for a backlight. This helps contributes to enhanced battery life.
The GT-i9020A display is slightly curved towards the bottom of the handset which offers enhanced grip while reducing weight of the handset.

The objectives of this group is to provide real citizen input into planning and management of our city by letting smart people solve problems.
For instance, www.octranspo.net.
Hello DIYOttawa:
You're invited to try out fixmystreet.ca:
The site allows people to file problem reports on things in their
neighbourhood they'd like to see fixed: potholes, bad lighting, or
unsafe pathways. People can browse reports that have been filed, and subscribe to reports they'd like to see updates on. The site is modeled on MySociety's FixMyStreet.com, which was adapted for Canada by Chris Taggart of OpenOttawa.
FixMyStreet.ca is designed to help both the city and its citizens.
Providing the ability to browse and subscribe to problems that have been reported avoids having many people report the same issue individually, meaning less work for city call centres. Keeping public records of when reports were filed, and when they were fixed, gives citizens access to richer information about their community and municipal council.
The code is open source, and is available for download here:
Jennifer Bell
VisibleGovernment.ca Executive Director
ChangeCamp Ottawa will be May 16, 2009 at City Hall
Only a few tickets remain to this unconference where we will discuss how technology can enable citizen participation in government.
There is still time to register.
There are also still organizing tasks left to do, and the next planning meeting will be May 6.
You can track the progress of the event using the Twitter hashtag #cco09
