Watch the Ultimate Winter 'Fail' Compilation
Ugh, the winter weather. Just watching this video is making us regret living on the East coast. Perhaps those in Southern California aren't too crazy after all.
Ugh, the winter weather. Just watching this video is making us regret living on the East coast. Perhaps those in Southern California aren't too crazy after all.
Wow. This lady is going to have to attribute this to sheer panic, because this is just about the most unhip 'Wheel of Fortune' blunder ever. It's one thing to make a mistake. It's an entirely different thing to think 'I Have the Wine' is a song by Johnny Cash
Most of the time our fear of heights is ridiculous. We can admit that. This time, however ... BOOM! WE KNEW IT! AIN'T NOBODY SHOULD BE GETTING MARRIED IN A HOT AIR BALLOON!
A floating box full of candy, a blindfolded person wielding a bat, and a crowd of onlookers—what could possibly go wrong?
Here's another back-to-back-to-back dosage of Internet gems.
If you like 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' you should watch this. If you don't like 'TNG,' you should watch this, and then stop being such a jerk.
We've said it several times before, and we'll say it again-- news reporters are awesome and super talented, in a variety of ways. So far the rapping weatherman tops our list as one of the coolest reporters around, but we recently discovered a dude who's giving him a run for his money. We'd like to introduce you to the most coordinated dancing traffic anchor around, Bob Herzog.
It's that special time of year when people take all the funny things that happen and make them all into one big thing. Here, for example, are the best funny news bloopers of 2012.
Like many Southerners, Renee Durette drops the "G" at the end of a word when she speaks. Her accent became a big issue during a recent episode of 'Wheel of Fortune,' costing the Navy Intel Specialist from Merritt Island, Fla $3,850 thanks to a controversial judge's ruling.
You know that whole "trust fall" game where you fall backwards into someone's arms and he or she saves you from a bad fall that would bruise your behind for weeks to come? It's an exercise that's supposed to increase...well, trust. Recently though, we've discovered that this so-called game isn't all that fun anymore. In fact, we're beginning to question whether or not this "trust fall" fail thing is becoming a trend.
Stick with this one. It's funny enough watching an old man struggle to say "buttery, flaky crust," but this video in its entirety is a comedy masterpiece.
Is there really anything better than giving or getting a high five? No way! Ok, there are tons of more awesome things. But when it comes to the complimenting game, high fives reign supreme. It's like a super-charged boost of confidence and the best way to show someone they rule.
It's usually pretty easy to discreetly catch a few Z's during a college lecture. However, this kid was caught in the act thanks to his ferocious snoring and sudden upwards leap. Sitting in the front row certainly didn't help!
With the exception of reality television, it appears that today's small screen is becoming all the more authentic, and thus, relatable. Because of the shows featuring intense storylines and characters that we connect with it's no wonder we feel so heavily for the screen.
The above video -- featuring a news team baffled over a plane crash that left a roadway smashed (yet still with no ambulance in sight) -- demonstrates just how real TV can get, because while the anchors believed to be relaying a breaking news story, the truth was that it was all for show... a television show.
In life, there are times in which luck just isn't on your side. And if you're really unlucky, then someone caught this moment on video.

#1: Indy Scream Park Haunted House by USA BEST HAUNTED HOUSES
Our number 1 spot on the Top 13 Haunted Houses in the USA goes to Indy Scream Park Haunted House. Though a relative newcomer to the scene, Indy Scream Park came right out the door with a bang.
The Indy Scream Park Haunted House actually has 5 separate attractions, each fully embracing a different kind of fear, then pull it all together with a midway while you wait. And while the place is close enough to Indianapolis to be easily reachable, it's still removed enough that sirens or sounds of the city aren't even close to a problem.
But the big reason these guys land at number one isn't just because of the variety and location. It's their commitment. Like their Bedlam 3D haunted house, which is all about the mental creepiness. It balances mental scares with disorientation scares, and throws in a few startles for good measure. All of it with custom video clips specially made for the house.
Their Nachtmahr haunted house covers 6,000 square feet, and is where their big set pieces get to shine. The various rooms and themes switch out, but include things like spinning bridges and carefully planned animatronics. Their attention to detail here is incredible, making sure every last spot is done perfectly.
Their "go big or go home" style is everywhere on the 2 outdoor haunted houses: One a terror-filled corn maze, and the other a war-torn zombie/post-apocalyptic area. Rather than stick with a bunch of scary tall plants, they add in a dozen cabins and scary monsters running around the half-mile maze with you. And for the zombie/post-apocalyptic area they go all out to really create that feeling of being there as everything goes to hell.
Their fifth haunted house starting 2013 is an entirely new feature from the ground up called Brickmore Asylum. Pulling off an asylum haunted house is all about having the correct combination of details, props, actors, and planning. Fortunately, these guys have that in spades.
The big shining thing about these guys is their follow through on every level. The actors stay in character, the haunted houses are finished to the last detail, and they don't settle for half measures, even down to their waiting area midway. Rather than leave it at a single concessions stand, they've got games, huge fire pits, a beer garden, and monsters wandering around.
Good things to note: You can get tickets online, both general admission and VIP to skip the line. Parking is $5, but you can also get a parking pass when you buy your tickets to make it easier.
If you're going to use credit cards, buy your tickets online, since at the actual Scream Park they only accept cash. Fortunately, there are ATMs right there.

Re Revisiting NZT
Today NZD/USD is below $0.60 and the stock is at $19.15. Both prices are lower than a week ago. I was clear that I was not a buyer that day and that I was not considering putting client money into the name.
Now there is some chatter that the company might split up. This is clearly getting more confusing before doing anything else. My intention in buying, when/if I ever do, is to make an investment not to try to bottom tick a falling stock.
This is good stuff. Part of stock selection is watching specific names and deciding "no" or "not yet." There are times where stocks that interest you should not be bought. Despite my general fondness, staying away for now is still the better call for me.

what is NZT's actual current yield - not historical.
- Roger Nusbaum said...
I am not sure what it will be other than to say I expect it to drop a lot for a year. I think I have mentioned that previously but perhaps not.
- Faisal Laljee said...
I can't imagine anyone being attracted to NZT. With negative earnings growth, over $2 billion in debt, less than 1% profit margins and just over $4 billon target population, I prefer Turkcell (TKC) which has access to 70 billion people, not to mention another 450 million in Europe.
-- Faisal Laljee - 7:50 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
The earnings will go back up in 2007. Perhaps not enough but they are going back up. The stock has fallen for a lot of reasons. At some point the top down and bottom up problems end which gives the stock the chance to go up and it will offer the yield again-depends on the break up of course.
TKC has many of the same top down problems as NZT. In fact sentiment toward Turkey might be worse than NZ.
Doesn't make TKC a bad bet at all but worth mentioning. - 5:55 AM

While it lacks the live audience drama of David Copperfield making the Statue of Liberty vanish, general manager Alex Anthopoulos earns honors for the winter's top magic trick, namely making Vernon Wells and his $81 million bloated contract disappear. Implicitly acknowledging that this may not be Toronto's year, Anthopoulos is banking on rebounds from players under club control who disappointed last year, rather than spending big on upgrades. Thus none of the new Jays is making more than Wells deal door prize Juan Rivera's $5.25 million, and if the price tags on relievers Frank Francisco (3.44 ERA, 0.7 WARP), Jon Rauch (3.72, 0.6) and Octvio Dotel (4.05, 0.3) look relatively high, so is the likelihood of at least one being flipped at the trading deadline.
The Prospectus Hit List rankings are derived from Won-Loss records and several measurements pertaining to run differentials, both actual and adjusted, from Baseball Prospectus Adjusted Standings through the close of play on every Thursday.

BP Comment Quick Links
For those looking for Tommy's debut, the NL edition will be up tomorrow.
Jay, has anyone written about the collected WARP difference of Adrian Gonzalez+Carl Crawford over Adrian Beltre+Victor Martinez? I suspect it's not as big an upgrade as the media would have us believe. That said, I'm not sure anybody except the Jays had a truly spectacular offseason in the AL, though I would argue for the White Sox to be 3rd. Did they lose anything of value?
PS I meant to say I enjoyed this exercise.
Thanks for the kind words. When we get the PECOTA cards with a multi-year forecast, the coming-and-going comparison of the Red Sox hitters will be something worth looking at. As for the White Sox, they lost Bobby Jenks, J.J. Putz, Andruw Jones and Freddy Garcia, none of whom were tremendously valuable (neither was Manny Ramirez, who was hurt by the time he got to Chicago). The difference between fifth and third in this is one-third of a grade, which isn't much; while I love the Dunn move and can live with the Konerko one, I have enough reservations about the Pierzynski and Crain (three-years!) deals to knock them down a peg. Still, that's a pretty decent offseason.
A C- grade for The Tigers suggests that there was something else/better they should have or could have done. Would have spending $142M on LF, making Raburn the RF and spending $56M on a DH-only slugger been that much better? Would have spending $80M for 5 years of a "volatile" 3B been a better decision than re-signing Inge? Were there a whole lot of SS options available? The Benoit contract was not the best spending decision but it seems unfair to give a below-average grade to a team that improved the squad they will send on the field from 2010, adequately filled most of their roster holes and did it all while cutting payroll.
I'm not sure the free agent market alone carried the solutions the Tigers needed. I don't think signing Carl Crawford or Adrian Beltre at their eventual price tags would have been particularly sensible, and the shortstop crop was pretty thin. It's the tying up of $50 million in a guy who's DH bound sooner or later, plus the redundancy of Ordonez, who's pretty much DH-worthy at this point, and the fact that Inge and Peralta both have similarly OBP-challenged offensive profiles. In all, they met their short-term needs reasonably well, but with the possible exception of the low-stakes Brad Penny deal, there's not a single deal there which causes me to say, wow, I really like the potential for them to capture the upside here.
In light of the Jose Bautista extension, I'd dock the Jays at least a full letter grade if I were rewriting this today.

Debutant co-stars of Karan Johar's 'Student Of The Year' are already dating each other, even before their shoot begins
B-Town is filled with tales of co-stars falling for each other while shooting for their first screen pairing together.However, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan who make their debut in Karan Johar's Student Of The Year, hit it off even before shooting began. Aalia Bhatt and Varun DhawanThe two met during casting and liked each other almost immediately and are now seeing each other.While Varun has been a Dharma regular and even assisted Karan on My Name Is Khan, Alia is a rank newcomer. Even though their first encounter was awkward, things changed when they started reading for the film. A source says, "Both come from filmy families. Alia is Mahesh Bhatt's daughter and Varun is David Dhawan's son. They started off by getting to know each other's families. Also, since Alia is much younger to Varun, he was naturally protective of her. During the narration and first introduction, Varun kept making sure she was comfortable with him."Both have a common interest in the latest music and movies. "They would often end up discussing the latest TV shows and movies for several hours. Varun is a chilled out guy and Alia enjoys his company. They have a close group of common friends who they hang around with."The shoot of the film begins in June and Alia and Varun are making sure they get to know each other better before they face the camera. "One of the reasons they have been bonding is also to break any ice before the actual shoot begins. The two were spotted together in Bandra a couple of times on their way to scene rehearsals."Love at first shotKumar Gaurav and Vijayta Pandit in Love StorySunny Deol and Amrita Singh in BetaabShahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in KamineyRanveer Singh and Anushka Sharma in Band Baaja BaaraatAjay Devgn and Kajol in IshqKatrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab KahaniUday Chopra and Tanisha in Neil N Nikki

Going Walletless: My Week with a Mobile Wallet
By Optism Team, Mar 27, 2013
The switch from a physical to a mobile wallet is part liberating, part scary and obviously will take a little bit of time for some people to get used to. As we recounted last year, it is becoming easier to switch to a mobile wallet especially if you live in a tech city like San Francisco, Boston or New York. How have things changed in the last six months? We will look at lifestyle, security and availability and how they impact one man's customer experience with a digital wallet.
Danny Stieben is a college student at the University of North Texas which is located just North of Dallas; he decided to see if he could go walletless for a week using Google Wallet.
Dallas is a major metropolitan city but it is not one of the U.S. coastal cities where mobile swiping is readily available. Nevertheless, he was able to use Google Wallet at a number of locations including McDonald's and vending machines. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to use Google Wallet at Target or Wal-Mart now nor will he be able to in the future. These bigbox retailers are teaming up with other retailers with a Google Wallet alternative, called Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX). It is yet to be seen what the impact will be of the recent announcements of MasterCard and Visa who are moving towards adding fees on mobile payment transactions.
Security is a concern for many people with mobile payments. Danny said that Google Wallet is very simple yet still secure to use. A user sets a PIN when you first launch Google Wallet that prevents anyone with physical access to your smartphone from buying something with it. Danny feels more comfortable using Google Wallet than credit cards since many banks are now coming out with NFC chips embedded in the cards which could be read anytime and not just during the check-out transaction. Also he is not bothered that Google could potentially use his data for something they need and he would gladly trade that off for the convenience that he gets for the service.
Danny absolutely loved using Google Wallet. The technology seems to be improving with quick checkout times that can be as fast as or faster than using a credit card. The transactions usually cleared within a day and the relevant transaction details are passed on to your bank so you see more than just "Google Wallet Purchase" on your statements.
Mobile Wallet usage will continue to grow as more NFC alternative solutions are brought to market and more merchants adopt POS systems that are compatible with mobile devices. Danny is happy with his solution now, but it remains to be seen if competing mobile payment solutions make the experience more or less enjoyable.
We will continue to monitor the mobile payment and mobile wallet news and present our thoughts here. Thanks for listening. Have you ever used a mobile wallet to make purchases? Tell us what you think in the comments.

Dusty Springfield made her way into the heart of 1960s swinging London with the British trio The Springfields. Her solo hits include "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (1966) and "Son of a Preacher Man" (1969). After a bout with drugs and alcohol, she saw her career resurrected with the 1987 Pet Shop Boys song "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" and the soundtrack to the 1988 film Scandal.
Early Years
A British singer whose style and husky voice emulated the Motown sounds she adored, Dusty Springfield was born Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien on April 16, 1939, in London, England.
Her love of music came early. At a young age she teamed up with her older brother Dion, singing with him in their parents' garage. They liked to record their collaboration and by the late 1950s had started performing together in front of live audiences.
In the early 1960s, after briefly joining a cabaret act called the Lana Sisters, Mary reunited with her brother to form a new group, The Springfields. Dion had started working with another vocalist, Tim Field, and inspired by his last name, the trio took on the name, The Springfields. In addition, the siblings adopted stage names for themselves. Mary came to be known as Dusty Springfield, and her brother as Tom Springfield.
The group's style, folksy with the kind of poppy sound that would later drive Beatlemania, hit at just the right time. The Springfields recorded several Top Five British hits, such as "Island of Dreams" (1962) and "Say I Won't Be There" (1963). They even enjoyed some American notice—something rare for British groups at that point—with the 1962 release of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles, " which reached No. 20 on the U.S. charts.
Solo Career
In late 1963, The Springfields disbanded, allowing Dusty to launch a successful solo career. Over the next half decade Springfield was a fixture on the pop charts. The run of success began just months after The Springfields ended, with the January 1964 hit "I Only Want to Be With You," which reached No. 4 in Britain and No. 12 in the U.S.
Between 1965 and 1968 Springfield churned out a number of hits, including "Some of Your Lovin'," "Little by Little," and the highly successful "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me."
The pinnacle of her success came in 1968 with her album Dusty in Memphis, on which the singer, who'd long adored singers like Mavis Staples and Aretha Franklin, worked with legendary music producer Jerry Wexler, the man behind albums by Franklin and Ray Charles.
"I was deeply influenced by black singers from the early 1960s," she once said. "I liked everybody at Motown and most of the Stax artists. I really wanted to be Mavis Staples. What they shared in common was a kind of strength I didn't hear on English radio."
Dusty in Memphis was a tremendous success. Anchored by one of Springfield's biggest hits, "Son of a Preacher Man," it climbed to No. 10 on the U.S. charts. In 1994 that song received a second round of popularity when it became one of the featured songs in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction.

Core Strength Training For Reducing Back Problems & Injuries
Core Strength Training For Reducing Back Problems & Injuries Weak or poorly controlled core muscles have been associated with low back pain (3,4). The back muscles are responsible for movements such as extension and flexion of the spine and rotation of the trunk. Excessive or uneven shock on the spine may lead to back problems. This may be exaggerated because weak core muscles lead to improper positioning or a forward tilt. In many exercises that use the back muscles, the abdominal muscles contract isometrically stabilizing the body. The stronger and more correctly balanced the core muscles are, the less the uneven strain on the spine

how can I query autocad map data in preview mode,and store these objects in a collection by using C#.
(I want to use simple query like all lwpolyline having layer = "test" and color = 3). If I run this query in draw mode multiple times what will happen? (means possibilty of duplicate objects??)
do you need any Map3D functionality like re-projection depending on different geo-coord-systems or something like saveback?
If not I had much more luck replace the Map-query-functionality by my own routine, just

I have to use map query only to show(preview) the quried data into the current drawing and do not want to do any type of editing in quried dwg. Before it I have to set the coordinate system say XYZ of the curent dwg.
>> I have to use map query only to show(preview) the quried data into the current drawing
E.g. use WorlDraw (or at least JIG without mouse-move-following) then, it's just a preview and not the adding to the database then.

A leading rental agent manages our very popular apartment, but please e-mail the owner first. Our charming and well-maintained condo with its spectacular views is very popular with couples. Many return repeatedly to our cherished holiday home.

Sleep in the new Sealy Posturepedic king-size bed in a delightfully furnished bedroom with wall-mounted flat sceen TV. Relax on cushioned recliners and cushioned dining chairs on our private double size beachfront balcony with its sunset viewing chairs, dining table and tilting umbrella.

The beach is fairly firm for walking, consisting of tiny fragments of shell. Shelling and beach walking are popular pastimes. A wide variety of sports is close at hand.
Marco Beach:
Marco Beach is a place to fall in love with. From the condo you look out on to a fabulous three and a half mile beach with access via a boardwalk over protected seagrass. There are pelicans and seabirds flying around, dolphins make their lazy way across the bay and in season turtles come ashore in the moonlight to lay their eggs, The sunsets are spectacular as the building faces West and the condo balcony offers sunset viewing chairs.
Marco Island:
The island is about 6 miles by 4 miles, accessed by two bridges. It is relaxed and charming with plenty of amenities (supermarkets, restaurants, shops, urgent care center, medical facilities etc). It is sufficiently far south to offer a wonderful climate and year-round sunshine. It is about 20 minutes from Naples which is a charming, sophisticated and affluent town, with shopping malls, hospitals etc. The Everglades are very close to the island and can be explored easily as can a number of nature reserves. Day trips to Key West are also possible. There are numerous golf courses within easy driving distance of the Apollo and the whole area is a golfer's paradise. Fishermen and those who enjoy boating love the island.
The Apollo:
We have owned our condominium from the time it was built and have given service to the condominium residents' Board. It is a well-kept building with a friendly atmosphere. Security is given high priority and there is a rolling program of maintenance which keeps standards up. There is a manager's office on site. There is also a privately owned restaurant in the complex. The location is spectacular and there is no road between the building and the beach, just protected sea grass with a board walk out to the beach.
Keywords: Condo
We fell in love with Marco Island on our first visit and immediately placed a deposit on an Apollo apartment. We have never wavered in our love for Marco and the Apollo. We are a British married couple and love to escape to the 'Paradise Island' that is Marco. Days stretch out to a proper length instead of flying past and the island rhythm of life is soothing.
We love the location and the building with its facilities.
The relaxing atmosphere of Marco island and the wonderful location of the Apollo with its beach access, security, covered parking, sports facilities etc.

Where to Store Estate Planning Documents After Being Signed
Where should I store my estate planning documents, and who should know where they are?
Recently, a colleague and I designed an estate plan for a middle-aged couple that included a revocable trust, pour-over will, living will and durable power of attorney. As we sat in our final meeting and went over the specifics for the final time prior to signing, the couple had a list of questions about what to do with their plan once it was completed. The answers to these questions are sometimes just as important as the actual beneficiaries and individual line items in the plan.
Where should I keep my original estate planning documents?
The answer is quite simple. They should be kept in a safe, accessible place.
1. A safety deposit box is always a good option. However, be sure to acquire the box in the name of your revocable trust, so the trustee will be able to gain immediate access to your box. If the box is in the deceased's name, a court order will be needed to gain access thereby delaying execution of the wishes of that person.
2. A fire/water-proof safe in your home is another great option. Bestow the safe combination with a trustworthy person and you should be ok.
3. Lastly, your estate planning attorney should keep a copy of all the original signed documents.
Who should know where your documents are kept?
Some believe that the plan should be discussed with all beneficiaries, but there are two schools of thought behind this.
1. One advantage to being open is the peace of mind and comfort that your estate will be protected.
2. On the other hand, letting beneficiaries know your true intentions may entice those folks to give "false love." Who really wants someone being nice just because they get a portion of your wealth after you die?
The most important aspect to consider while making these types of decisions is contemplating your own personal situation. Everyone's family is different and will react accordingly.

Dr John Celes (14-2-1957 / Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India)
Sonnet: The Magic of Poverty
A birth in poverty is luck supreme!
A death in poverty, a great blessing;
A life of poverty is rare a dream;
Achievements great, stark poverty can bring.
'Tis poverty that goads nations do feats;
'Tis poverty that stimulates scientists;
In everything, poverty, wealth just beats;
The greatest men were in poverty's lists.
And poverty lessens our worries much;
Account to God will be much easier;
Poverty gives the saint a divine touch;
In poverty, poets can fly higher!
Poverty helps to shun worldly pleasures;

Sadly I didn't read the passing date of his life. A few years to late I guess. All who read this poem please go to Whistle and Whistling, they are written with the utmost good intentions.
Happy New Year! ! ! -

I truly do like your poem Dr. John Celes. I do agree that in poverty lies hope since the Impoverished people are victims of this hierarchical and patriarch driven society and understand the system so much better than those in middle class. The classes can be divided into three groups with the words; Aware, Unaware, and Aware. The Elite on top, Middle Class in the Middle, and the Impoverished on the bottom:
Aware Elite- Aware of their selfish doings in maintaining control and superiority over the creatures of Earth but yet continue to do so since greed and power is a decisive motivating force.
Unaware Middle Class- Life has never been so good for the Unaware Middle Class, television, cars, extra money, house, safety for the family, food, water and 'freedom'. And yet this very fact keeps them Unaware. Never the less the future is ours for the taking and they shall become Aware.
The Impoverished Aware- The impoverished people are Aware of the Elite's manipulative way of running society. It is painfully obvious when you are the oppressed for the sole reason because the change lies within. Or does the oppression create the Change?
Dr. John Celes- Beautifully written Poem, I invite you to read the ones I have written:

Michigan jobless rate increases to 9 percent
"Michigan lost a net 7,000 jobs last month to bring the state's unemployment rate to 9 percent. This is the third month in a row the state's jobless rate has increased," Rick Pluta reports.
Census shows Michigan is doing well with retirement income, bad with health insurance and household income
New Census data sheds light on where Michigan stands nationally in regards to income, poverty and health insurance. As the Detroit Free Press reports, Michigan is among one of the top states for the number of people who have retirement income.
"Nearly 1 in 4 Michigan households has retirement income. . . Michigan's median household income remains lower than the national average, while the state has fewer uninsured residents than the national average."
Pontiac Schools to have consent agreement, no emergency manager
"The Pontiac Board of Education has approved a consent agreement with the state to deal with a financial emergency in the district, avoiding the appointment of an emergency manager," the Associated Press reports.

When the Romans celebrated a Triumph, they did it in style. General Tommy Franks won't even get a tickertape parade. And don't expect to see Saddam's wives or Tariq Aziz being led in chains down Pennsylvania Avenue anytime soon. America is, thank God, a very different kind of republic.
The Roman attitude towards the nations they conquered could be summed up in Cicero's candid remark, "Let them hate us, so long as they fear us." Americans, by contrast, like to be liked. Ours is perhaps the only great power in history that wants, and expects eventually to receive, the gratitude and admiration of its conquered enemies. We are especially happy if our former enemies rehabilitate themselves along the lines of our own regime and culture. There is humanity and even a certain high-mindedness in this, to be sure; but there is also danger.
In the case of Iraq, prudence counsels that Saddam's tyranny be replaced with the best practicable regime, not the best conceivable. In short, it isn't necessary to install a perfect democracy in Iraq in order to justify the "regime change" that the U.S. enforced. It is sufficient to help establish a form of government better than the one they had; a non-tyrannical regime that will have a fighting chance of securing individual rights and the common good.
Unfortunately, the Bush Administration's rhetoric, and perhaps its thinking, is a little loose on this subject. The president seems sometimes to regard liberty and democracy as synonyms, which they are not. Across the Islamic world, democracy seems to be confused with a species of majoritarian tyranny. The refrain is: Throw out the local despots and let the people rule, even if, perhaps especially if, they lust after an "Islamic republic" so severe that it would make republican Rome look softhearted. Once in power, the mullahs will solve the problem of majority tyranny—by so arranging things that no future majority can ever vote them out.
But democracy doesn't mean "one man, one vote, once." This elementary point underlies the genius of American republicanism, which strives to keep majority rule consistent with individual liberty. It hasn't been easy. It takes a certain character in the citizens in addition to the virtue-saving devices of the Constitution. Whether the Iraqis will develop such a liberal democracy is doubtful. But Americans can at least offer them the lessons of our own hard-won experience, and do them the favor of not offering full-blown democracy as an immediate export.
Bush recently challenged those who "believe democracy in the Middle East is unlikely, if not impossible," to consider its remarkable successes in Germany, Japan, Eastern Europe, and Russia. Fair enough, but the democratization of Germany and Japan had as its precondition their total defeat in a more-or-less total war, followed by a lengthy (still ongoing, in some respects) occupation by the victorious powers. Their rehabilitation occurred in the context of another great struggle, the Cold War, which forced them to choose sides, cementing their democratic loyalties. Neither condition obtained in post-Cold War Eastern Europe and Russia, with the result that both, especially the latter, are shakily democratic at best.
Turkey might be a better example. Launched after World War I on an aggressive, top-down program of liberalization, Turkey remains a work-in-progress. Though a better democracy than it used to be, its voters are still superintended by the military in order to ensure their conformity with liberal principles. The Turks took nearly four-score-and-seven years to get this far; the Iraqis may need that and more.
Which is not to say that the reforms shouldn't begin as soon as possible. But when Bush promised to work with the new leaders of Iraq "as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people," he wrote a democratic check that will prove very hard to cash. In America's case, fulfilling such a promise required a great Civil War, not to mention Reconstruction. Chances are that many Iraqis would prefer to remain unreconstructed.

Yep. My significant other, Rebecca Ricks, and I got a bundle of joy a couple of weeks ago.
We're fostering the little girl, and she's keeping us on our toes.
Even though she's just a little more than 4 months old, she has an incredible amount of energy. I sometimes wonder how she can contain herself when I leave her in her crate when Rebecca and I have to be away from our home.
Oh, did I forget to mention the new temporary addition is a puppy?
My bad.

Genotype-Imputation Accuracy across Worldwide Human Populations The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 84, Issue 2, 13 February 2009, Pages 235-250 Lucy Huang, Yun Li, Andrew B. Singleton, John A. Hardy, Gonçalo Abecasis, Noah A. Rosenberg and Paul Scheet Abstract A current approach to mapping complex-disease-susceptibility loci in genome-wide association (GWA) studies involves leveraging the information in a reference database of dense genotype data. By modeling the patterns of linkage disequilibrium in a reference panel, genotypes not directly measured in the study samples can be imputed and tested for disease association. This imputation strategy has been successful for GWA studies in populations well represented by existing reference panels. We used genotypes at 513,008 autosomal single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci in 443 unrelated individuals from 29 worldwide populations to evaluate the "portability" of the HapMap reference panels for imputation in studies of diverse populations. When a single HapMap panel was leveraged for imputation of randomly masked genotypes, European populations had the highest imputation accuracy, followed by populations from East Asia, Central and South Asia, the Americas, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa. For each population, we identified "optimal" mixtures of reference panels that maximized imputation accuracy, and we found that in most populations, mixtures including individuals from at least two HapMap panels produced the highest imputation accuracy. From a separate survey of additional SNPs typed in the same samples, we evaluated imputation accuracy in the scenario in which all genotypes at a given SNP position were unobserved and were imputed on the basis of data from a commercial "SNP chip," again finding that most populations benefited from the use of combinations of two or more HapMap reference panels. Our results can serve as a guide for selecting appropriate reference panels for imputation-based GWA analysis in diverse populations. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1633 kb) |
GIGI: An Approach to Effective Imputation of Dense Genotypes on Large Pedigrees The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 92, Issue 4, 4 April 2013, Pages 504-516 Charles Y.K. Cheung, Elizabeth A. Thompson and Ellen M. Wijsman Abstract Recent emergence of the common-disease-rare-variant hypothesis has renewed interest in the use of large pedigrees for identifying rare causal variants. Genotyping with modern sequencing platforms is increasingly common in the search for such variants but remains expensive and often is limited to only a few subjects per pedigree. In population-based samples, genotype imputation is widely used so that additional genotyping is not needed. We now introduce an analogous approach that enables computationally efficient imputation in large pedigrees. Our approach samples inheritance vectors (IVs) from a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler by conditioning on genotypes from a sparse set of framework markers. Missing genotypes are probabilistically inferred from these IVs along with observed dense genotypes that are available on a subset of subjects. We implemented our approach in the Genotype Imputation Given Inheritance (GIGI) program and evaluated the approach on both simulated and real large pedigrees. With a real pedigree, we also compared imputed results obtained from this approach with those from the population-based imputation program BEAGLE. We demonstrated that our pedigree-based approach imputes many alleles with high accuracy. It is much more accurate for calling rare alleles than is population-based imputation and does not require an outside reference sample. We also evaluated the effect of varying other parameters, including the marker type and density of the framework panel, threshold for calling genotypes, and population allele frequencies. By leveraging information from existing genotypes already assayed on large pedigrees, our approach can facilitate cost-effective use of sequence data in the pursuit of rare causal variants.

The Relationship between Imputation Error and Statistical Power in Genetic Association Studies in Diverse Populations The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 85, Issue 5, 13 November 2009, Pages 692-698 Lucy Huang, Chaolong Wang and Noah A. Rosenberg Abstract Genotype-imputation methods provide an essential technique for high-resolution genome-wide association (GWA) studies with millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms. For optimal design and interpretation of imputation-based GWA studies, it is important to understand the connection between imputation error and power to detect associations at imputed markers. Here, using a 2 × 3 chi-square test, we describe a relationship between genotype-imputation error rates and the sample-size inflation required for achieving statistical power at an imputed marker equal to that obtained if genotypes at the marker were known with certainty. Surprisingly, typical imputation error rates (∼2%–6%) lead to a large increase in the required sample size (∼10%–60%), and in some African populations whose genotypes are particularly difficult to impute, the required sample-size increase is as high as ∼30%–150%. In most populations, each 1% increase in imputation error leads to an increase of ∼5%–13% in the sample size required for maintaining power. These results imply that in GWA sample-size calculations investigators will need to account for a potentially considerable loss of power from even low levels of imputation error and that development of additional genomic resources that decrease imputation error will translate into substantial reduction in the sample sizes needed for imputation-based detection of the variants that underlie complex human diseases.

Whole-genome sequencing across multiple samples in a population provides an unprecedented opportunity for comprehensively characterizing the polymorphic variants in the population. Although the 1000 Genomes Project (1KGP) has offered brief insights into the value of population-level sequencing, the low coverage has compromised the ability to confidently detect rare and low-frequency variants. In addition, the composition of populations in the 1KGP is not complete, despite the fact that the study design has been extended to more than 2,500 samples from more than 20 population groups. The Malays are one of the Austronesian groups predominantly present in Southeast Asia and Oceania, and the Singapore Sequencing Malay Project (SSMP) aims to perform deep whole-genome sequencing of 100 healthy Malays. By sequencing at a minimum of 30× coverage, we have illustrated the higher sensitivity at detecting low-frequency and rare variants and the ability to investigate the presence of hotspots of functional mutations. Compared to the low-pass sequencing in the 1KGP, the deeper coverage allows more functional variants to be identified for each person. A comparison of the fidelity of genotype imputation of Malays indicated that a population-specific reference panel, such as the SSMP, outperforms a cosmopolitan panel with larger number of individuals for common SNPs. For lower-frequency (<5%) markers, a larger number of individuals might have to be whole-genome sequenced so that the accuracy currently afforded by the 1KGP can be achieved. The SSMP data are expected to be the benchmark for evaluating the value of deep population-level sequencing versus low-pass sequencing, especially in populations that are poorly represented in population-genetics studies.
