TULSA, Okla. -- It's no surprise that Marshall's season ended in a rain of 3-point goals by the opposition, for the Thundering Herd had struggled in defending those all season.
But what was surprising was the shot that ultimately killed the Herd's 13-19 season once and for all -- Ricky Tarrant's bank shot from the top of the key, fired with the shot clock nearing zero. That gave the Green Wave a 66-63 lead with 6.9 seconds left.
Marshall got the benefit of a belatedly enforced technical foul and got one shot at the buzzer, but Elijah Pittman's off-balance shot from the corner bounced away at the buzzer.
"It was a frustrating end to our season, dagger through our heart at the end," said MU coach Tom Herrion. "Three-ball ended up beating us in the second half, didn't guard it well enough in the second half. Did a great job in the first half, didn't do a great job [after that] and they bank one in to win it."
Indeed, the Herd played great defense in the first half, probably the best all season. It held the Green Wave to 26.7 percent and just 1 of 12 from 3-point range, taking a 29-20 lead in the process.
That was a stunning reversal of the first half of Tulane's 91-75 win in New Orleans, in which the Green Wave took a 59-35 first-half lead. The Herd also scored eight points off 11 Tulane turnovers and shot 52.2 percent offensively.
And the good fortune continued in the second half. When D.D. Scarver found Dennis Tinnon for a bucket that made it 40-27, the Herd seemed to have a big enough lead to weather the next Tulane run.
But then the 3-pointers flew.
Ben Cherry drew first blood and then Jordan Callahan, left open for the first time all night, fired in his only long shot. Tarrant hit a really long 3, hit two free throws and tied it at 47 with another bomb and gave the Green Wave a 50-49 lead with yet another. With 6:39 left, the Herd had to abandon what was a successful zone defense strategy.
Herrion said his team wasn't surprised by Tulane trying 3-pointers, but were surprised by the distance of those shots.
"They shot '5s' instead of 3s," Herrion said. "They shot '5s.' And give them credit -- they made big shots."

Lastly, JVC's Laser Touch controls are not for everyone (including myself). That said, JVC tweaked the system on the MS130, and now it's easier to use, has more features attached to it, and, combined with a slightly reworked menu system, it's actually more pleasurable to use. (I still wish you could tap the strip to select things instead of going over to a separate OK button, but you can't have everything, I guess.) Added features include using the strip to the left of the screen for controlling the zoom and a Record button below the screen. This makes it possible to comfortably control the camcorder while holding it overhand--perfect for shooting subjects like small children and animals.
Features | JVC Everio GZ-MS130 |
Inputs/Outputs | USB, AV out terminal |
White balance | Auto, Fine, Cloud, Halogen, Manual |
Scene modes | Sports, Snow, Spotlight, Twilight, Portrait, Night |
Focus | Auto, Manual, Tele Macro |
Color effects | Standard, Black & White, Sepia, Classic Film, Strobe |
Lens cover (auto or manual) | Auto |
Accessory shoe | No (built-in LED light) |
Shooting options are actually a bit better than expected for what's essentially an entry-level camcorder. While the MS130 performed well in full Auto mode, at the push of a touch-sensitive button you can switch over to manual control for focus, brightness, shutter speed, and white balance. You also get a few recording effects including Classic Film, which skips frames to give video an old movie look, and Strobe that makes recordings look like a series of consecutive snapshots. Other options include a handful of scene modes and backlight compensation. All in all, it's a nice set of features.
The MS130 records MPEG-2 video (.MOD) of which the Ultra Fine version comes in at 8.5Mbps. That gives you a little less than 15 minutes for every 1GB of storage. Honestly, it's the only setting you'd want to record at with the MS130, but there are three more options going down to Eco at 1.5Mbps for up to nearly 20 hours of recording time on an 8GB SDHC card.
If you stick to the intended use of sharing video on the Web and you plan to shoot primarily outdoors during daylight, the MS130 will produce satisfying results. However, our low-light videos were above average quality, too. Save for some purple fringing that's typical of this class of camcorders, the results are good enough to view on larger TVs; just don't expect high-definition detail and clarity. Colors were pleasing with acceptable white balance in natural light. There are no incandescent or fluorescent presets for white balance, but the manual option is available, and there's a halogen setting for use with the built-in LED lamp up front.
The JVC Everio GZ-MS130 is a fairly typical standard-def minicamcorder. If you're in need of a simple, small camcorder for Web-ready videos, this'll get the job done and give you more flexibility than a pocket camcorder can offer.

The screw hooks that go into the wall were pulled out almost immediately - not strong enough for a large dog wanting to push through. When expanded, small dogs can go through the openings.Still works but I have to use other furniture to brace the sides. At some point I will try wall anchors to attach the screws to.

Like A Boss
Nothing screams "I'm Bossy" more than an ass tat, because clearly any idiot who is back there to see it must have no control over their decisions whatsoever. The unitentional cool part of her tattoo is when she stands up I'm pretty sure it turns into a face with a handlebar mustache!
Like A Boss, -
First of all, that's not an "ass tat. It was a tramp stamp before the lady had back surgery. The black belt around her waist is for stabilization. She probably doesn't even realize her shirt's pulled up in the back. I know when I had my back surgery, it made my skin numb, even years later, for several inches on either side of the incision, my skin is fairly numb.
This, while should be hidden, is seriously bad taste to make fun of. You don't know why she had surgery and making fun of someone who's basically handicapped isn't ever funny.
I've had nine (9) back surgeries and am now all metal bars and screws. That brace is not a back brace. I have several here. The lacing always goes in the front and the support bars are in the back to support the spine. That is either a kidney support or possibly an abdominal support.
As far as the scar numbness, I've never had that go all across the ass. She HAS to feel that cold plastic or breezes on her skin.
Making fun of the handicapped? I am one and people are always teasing me about what I can or can't do and the way I do things. As long as they aren't being vicious I accept it as good fun. We all have our problems. -
@ eunuch
u may b handicapped hun but im sure u know how 2 cover up what should b covered n not shown and im sure ur doc showed how 2 wear ur med brace properly
as 4 this pic dear god if it dont fit properly dont wear it duh and by all means i know no1 is this world wants 2 c ur ass when u aint in shape hello
does this person think she is all that and a bag of chips? maybe she should put the chips down so she won't need to ride the lazy cart. as for the "girdle"-hide the thing under your clothes! no one wants to see that and PLEASE put the ASS CRACK AWAY!!!!! no one wants to see that either, tat or no tat. DAMN people!
Mom Of One – you didnt see a running theme on the MAIN page?? This site makes fun of people?? Obviously they are on here for a reason – or this site wouldnt exist.
Who cares if the purse is real or not. Who does it impress if it was? Waste of money if it were.
Ass crack, back crack, back ass, fat crack – NO ONE WANTS TO SEE IT!
& Whats with the EXPLOSION of Ive got a tramp stamp so Im so effing cool tattoos?? There always shitty tattoos! & No one wants to see these peoples skanky asses to begin with.
OH & pink & purple dont go together except on 5 year old girls or Barney!
@ Eric
She probably had the tramp stamp years before the back surgery. But, as I said, I agree it should be covered up, however, she probably doesn't even realize her shirt is up. I had similar surgery (due to scoliosis and having to have my spine straightened with rods) and 2 or 3 inches on either side of my back is still numb, 15+ years later (had it when I was a pre-teen)
Just sayin…
Personally, I think she modified the brace and turned it backwards INTENTIONALLY to make it look like a corset… which, honestly, would also gross me out. :{
If she actually did have back surgery, you would think that she'd be aware that gaining THAT much weight [the brace is probably 6-8 inches short] is extremely bad for the new hardware.
Her doctor probably would've been on her ass 24/7, so maybe that's HIS mark on her??

Bellagio Consensus: Recommendations for Action to
Increase Access to Highly Effective, Long-Acting, Reversible Contraception
In May 2012, the Population Council, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, and the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition hosted a meeting of international experts to discuss ways to increase access to highly effective, long-acting, reversible contraception (LARCs) and accelerate progress toward meeting the Millennium Development Goal of universal access to reproductive health services.
Participants, including service providers, donor representatives, policymakers, procurement specialists, manufacturers, and public health officials, reached consensus on the following statement and recommendations for action (also available in PDF; PDF en français):
July 2012
More than 200 million women in the developing world want to prevent pregnancy but are not using modern contraception. For many of these women, particularly the poor, significant structural barriers obstruct their access to the full range of contraceptive methods. Women's desire to delay, space, or limit pregnancies is often resisted by their families or communities. Public-sector family planning programs, which are the main source of contraception in most developing countries, typically offer limited options, and supplies are not always in stock. Health care providers may not be trained to provide the counseling and services that women need to achieve their reproductive goals. These factors leave poor women facing a substantial risk of unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and maternal and infant mortality and morbidity.
Highly effective, long-acting, reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) and contraceptive implants often are out of reach for women in developing countries. Because of the need for a skilled provider and the low priority given to making these methods a viable option for women, family planning programs often fail to offer women a full range of methods, including those that are most effective and appropriate for women who want to postpone their first pregnancy, delay their next pregnancy, or limit future births.
Globally, more than 40 percent of pregnancies are unintended. Two-thirds of these pregnancies could be prevented if women with an unmet need for contraception had access to their choice of safe and effective methods. Having access to a variety of contraceptive options and services based on informed choice allows women to choose the method best suited to their needs. Because highly effective, long-acting, reversible contraceptives maintain their effectiveness for a long period, temporary supply chain disruptions have little impact on users' lives. Likewise, LARCs typically cost less per month of use than less-effective reversible contraceptives. For example, because of their more prolonged use and higher effectiveness, copper IUDs cost substantially less per month of use to prevent an unintended pregnancy than other reversible methods. Further, development of new implants and improved pricing options for existing implants and intrauterine contraceptive systems (IUSs) would make the cost of their use comparable to that of other contraceptive products in many national markets.
Since 1984, international agreements have reaffirmed the right of women to decide on the number and timing of their children as well as the means to achieve these intentions. If access to LARCs such as intrauterine contraception (IUSs or IUDs), implants, and, in the future, longer-acting contraceptive vaginal rings and injectables were increased, unintended pregnancies could be significantly reduced and women's health significantly improved. LARCs are more effective than other contraceptive methods in reducing the probability of unintended pregnancy. Consequently, greater use of LARCs would reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions, and improve maternal and infant health. In addition to these health benefits, meeting women's contraceptive needs would help increase their economic opportunities and their contributions to their families' well-being as well as to national economic growth through greater income per capita.
The need for LARCs will continue to grow. Because of the young age structure of populations in developing countries, the number of potential users of contraception will increase from 144 million in 2005 to about 214 million by 2020. Of these, we estimate that approximately 57 million women will be seeking LARCs by 2020. Research on policies and programs has demonstrated that the use of LARCs increases when women are provided with greater method choice and a concern for equity shapes the design of health care delivery strategies. The success of these programs provides evidence for the continued expansion of such efforts.
Bellagio Meeting
In May 2012, the Population Council, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), and the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition (RHSC) hosted a meeting at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center to discuss opportunities to increase access to LARCs to accelerate progress toward meeting the Millennium Development Goal of universal access to reproductive health services. Participants, including service providers, donor representatives, policymakers, procurement specialists, manufacturers, and public health officials, reached consensus on the following analysis and recommendations.
Access to all contraceptives, including LARCs, must be based upon the right of women and men to the full range of reproductive health services. We believe that women are qualified to make informed choices about the contraceptive that best meets their needs, if access is provided, correct information is available, and quality of care is ensured. The compelling public health and economic benefits of expanding women's access to LARCs require new policies and perspectives. The group called for the implementation of the following actions to ensure such increased access.
- Change policies: Policymakers should increase the priority given to efforts to reduce unintended pregnancies by meeting the unmet need for highly effective, long-acting, reversible contraceptive methods as part of a comprehensive range of method options. This priority should be reflected in financing, procurement, and human resource policies as well in the registration, introduction, and distribution of contraceptive methods.
- Reduce cost: For many women in developing countries, LARCs are unavailable or are attainable at a cost much greater than women are able to pay. For these women, access to LARCs is dependent on programs largely financed by donors and national governments. Despite the relatively high initial cost of LARCs, developing-country governments, working with donors and NGOs, have expanded the level of LARC use over the past five years. To sustain this progress, manufacturers, international donors, and national procurement systems should collaborate to develop strategies to increase the affordability of procuring and supplying LARCs. They should also work to maintain a reliable supply of LARCs within countries to allow use of these methods as desired by women. Greater availability and use of LARCs will help increase affordability.
- Integrate LARCs into health systems: To ensure that women have a range of choices across product classes, public and private health care delivery systems should integrate LARCs into their training, counseling, service provision, logistics, and information management. Because many providers of postabortion and postpartum care have the counseling and clinical skills needed for initiation of LARCs, more attention should be focused on postabortion and postpartum provision of LARCs as one of the simplest ways to increase access to those in greatest need.
- Ensure availability and access: Organizations engaged in promoting reliable access to contraceptive methods should ensure that long-acting, reversible contraceptive methods are available in public and private markets, and that products and services are accessible to women in the poorest segments of each country. Governments and donors should promote informed choice by supporting a variety of contraceptive choices rather than particular methods.
- Train and supervise qualified providers: National family planning, reproductive health, and women's health program managers should develop competency-based training and on-the-job supervisory systems to ensure that qualified staff, both medical and paramedical, are in a position to provide counseling, insertion, and removal of LARCs on demand.
- Engage support of professional associations: Professional associations, including FIGO, the International Confederation of Midwives, the International Council of Nurses, and similar national and regional societies should work with national governments and private-sector organizations to train medical and nonmedical providers and otherwise facilitate women's access to information and services.
- Gather and use data to ensure product quality and improved care: Data on the use, quality of care, and effectiveness of LARCs and other family planning methods in resource-limited settings should be developed or, where already available, disseminated. These data should be reviewed by WHO and by professional associations such as FIGO to determine whether additional guidance is needed on the public health benefits of expanding use of LARCs. Indicators should be developed and deployed that measure the extent to which women have easy access to a range of high-quality contraceptive methods, including LARCs.
- Develop a strategic plan to accomplish these goals: Representatives of national governments, donors, contraceptive manufacturers, program managers, NGO leaders, and representative users should meet before the end of 2012 to develop a detailed strategic plan, based on a joint diagnosis of the most consequential barriers to greater access and affordability of highly effective, long-acting, reversible methods. The strategic plan is a tool for increasing choices for women, ensuring reliable supplies, enhancing service quality, and improving reproductive health.
The provision of LARCs and other contraceptives and reproductive health care must be based on informed choice, voluntarism, and equity. These ethical principles are critical to ensure that women's needs are at the center of any discussion of technologies, and are consistent with plans of action adopted by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994, the Conference on Women in 1995, WHO's Global Strategy on Reproductive Health in 2004, and the UN Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health in 2010.
We ask that these actions be fully implemented by 2020, with significant progress made by 2015 consistent with the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. These actions will improve the health of women, expand their opportunities, and improve the welfare of their families and communities. Moreover, countries will see the economic dividends of lower fertility and over time a changing age structure with less dependency and greater work force participation. We ask that these recommendations form part of the analysis and discussion at the Family Planning Summit on July 11, 2012, in London. We ask also that the plans of action emerging from this summit include specific recommendations for guaranteeing informed choice and equity, including increased access to highly effective, long-acting, reversible contraception as part of a broader multi-method strategy for improving women's health and options.

Differential response is an alternative to the traditional investigations in child welfare for accepted reports of abuse or neglect. In most states, for low- to moderate-risk accepted reports of child maltreatment, differential response focuses on partnering with families to provide services that meet their needs while dismissing the labels of perpetrator and victim and removing the determination or finding that is often required by statute.
Many communities are using differential response as a way to enhance their child welfare system to avoid creating adversarial relationships with families and increase their voluntary engagement in services.
Looking for The National Quality Improvement Center on Differential Response in Child Protective Services (QIC-DR)? - Click Here
Child abuse and neglect reports vary significantly. For example, an isolated incident of inadequate supervision is not comparable to repeatedly hitting a toddler for misbehaving. Nor is either of these the same as the sexual exploitation of a young person by his/her parent.
In traditional child protective services systems, without differential response, there is only one response to all of those reports. Child welfare workers investigate the allegation that results in a formal disposition indicating whether or not maltreatment occurred. Currently, research findings indicate that this single approach is not effective in all types of reports of maltreatment.
That's why differential response, also referred to as "dual track," "multiple track" or "alternative response," has emerged. It is an approach that allows child protective services to respond in multiple ways to abuse and neglect allegations. The ways in which differential response is practiced varies; however, generally, for high risk reports, an investigation ensues while for low- and moderate-risk cases with no immediate safety concerns, a family assessment is conducted which gauges the family's needs and strengths. Research shows that these families who receive an assessment rather than an investigation are more likely to be receptive to and engaged in the receipt of services when they are approached in a non-adversarial, non-accusatory manner.
The Kempe Center's national initiative is exploring differential response to provide the field with comprehensive information and resources. Our initiative has expanded to include technical assistance and training for states, tribes and other jurisdictions on the design, launch, implementation and evaluation of differential response.
In 2006, Merkel-Holguin, et al. conducted a national survey on differential response in child welfare. Core elements were identified in order to clearly define and distinguish differential response from the multitude of child protection reforms across the nation's state and county child welfare systems. These core elements have been slightly adapted over time.
The core elements common across child welfare agencies that practice differential response include:
Use of multiple, discrete tracks of intervention when screening in and responding to maltreatment reports; these tracks are codified in statute, policy and/or protocols.
The Kempe Center has partnered with Walter R. McDonald & Associates, Inc. and the Institute of Applied Research on a five year, federally funded evaluation of Differential Response in Child Protective Services.
Differential response is being implemented in a wide range of U.S. states -- and around the world. You can benefit from others' experience by reading research and evaluation reports that detail differential response as it has been applied in multiple settings and systems:

I have one PC in our office with some graphics issues. In a new IDW when the user adds a dimension, then zooms out, all the views disappear except for the active view. The file were using is one part and two views on the IDW so it's not a large assembly or anything complicated. I've installed the latest driver from NVIDIA and changed the Inventor hardware settings from Performance to Compatability and back and forth which helps temporarily but then it goes back to the same issue after a while. I've maximize RAM utilzation and the problem isn't being seen in any other applications and we have the latest service pack 1.1 installed. Any suggestions?? Am I missing something?
The configuration is:
Dell Precision 3500
Win 7, 64
12g RAM
Quad core
Nvidia Quadro 2000
Solved! Go to Solution.
Is it just the one drawing that has this issue?
Have you tried the drawing on another PC?
Can you post the part and drawing?
Myself and coworker have actually had an issue like this. Sometimes when dimensioning all the views would disappear and if we would zoom in or out the views would reappear. This has happened on more than a few drawings, though I couldn't locate any off the top of head or upload them due to confidentiality.
This is happening on multiple files on the same PC, files function fine on other PC's.
update the graphics card driver.
I've actually upgraded the video card driver straight from the NVIDIA site with temporary improvement. I'm wondering if there is a setting under the NVIDIA control that I need to modify specifically for Inventor. The issue appears to occur on one of the dual monitors that has the digital connection. Perhaps these issues are related, but when I move Inventor to this monitor, then close and re-open Inventor it automatically opens on the base monitor. Could this be an indication of something related?
See if Windows "Aero" is enabled on this machine. A post a short while back with a graphics problem fixed it by enabling "Aero".
Me and my employees are having the same issue as Brendabr12345. We just upgraded to Inventor 2013, installed SP1.1, & updated our graphics card drivers. I verified we are running a theme with "Aero". And when I uncheck "Enable transparency", the disappearing act occurs with half the frequency. I attached the drawing. Here is our setup:
Dell T3500
Windows 7 Pro
NVidia Quadro 2000
Any other ideas?
Best regards,
The IDW without the related files is useless. A screen capture would probably suffice to show the problem.
I found a strange fix. I changed my hardware settings in Application Options > Hardware, from performance to quality. I closed the idw, and reopened it. I was having the same issue, so I switched the hardware setting back to performance, closed the idw, then reopened the file. I worked in idw environments for 30 minutes with no issues, then deployed to my employees. Last I asked on Friday, everything was running fine.

Carolyn Harris Johnson
Carolyn Harris Johnson was working in the criminal justice system when a particular prisoner motivated her to start researching the crime of familicide.

Broadcast date: Wednesday 01 August 2013
Dr Carolyn Harris Johnson was a social worker in WA men's prisons, and also in the family court. When she was assigned to work with a prisoner who had committed familicide, she could find little or no research to help her understand him.
In the course of her own research Carolyn studied court files, police records and news reports, and also spoke to survivors of these crimes. The work was so harrowing she needed counselling sessions, and it was during these sessions that Carolyn discovered a family story of her own.
Carolyn is Assistant Professor at the University of WA.
Her research was published in 2005 by UWA Press in the book Come With Daddy.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND (US)Saturday 07.07.12 - 21:00 - Orange Get ready for some "Glory Days" at Roskilde Festival when Bruce Springsteen takes the iconic main stage. Having this denim-clad superhero on Orange Stage is no longer a dream scenario. In 2012, he and his faithful the E Street Band will fill a summer's night with classic, poetic rock songs and the great artist has just released indignant new album Wrecking Ball. Bruce Springsteen's influence on rock history can hardly be overstated. Without this masterful songwriter and storyteller, younger bands such as Arcade Fire and The National would not sound the way they do. Regardless of age and knowledge of Bruce Springsteen, it is practically a civic duty to experience this artist who – despite his simple and unpretentious craft – towers up on the rock horizon.

Power of Linkage versus Association Analysis of Quantitative Traits, by Use of Variance-Components Models, for Sibship Data The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 5, 1 May 2000, Pages 1616-1630 P.C. Sham, S.S. Cherny, S. Purcell and J.K. Hewitt Abstract Optimal design of quantitative-trait loci (QTL) mapping studies requires a precise understanding of the power of QTL linkage versus QTL association analysis, under a range of different conditions. In this article, we investigate the power of QTL linkage and association analyses for simple random sibship samples, under the variance-components model proposed by Fulker et al. After a brief description of an extension of this variance-components model, we show that the powers of both linkage and association analyses are crucially dependent on the proportion of phenotypic variance attributable to the QTL. The main difference between the two tests is that, whereas the power of association is directly related to the QTL heritability, the power of linkage is related more closely to the square of the QTL heritability. We also describe both how the power of linkage is attenuated by incomplete linkage and incomplete marker information and how the power of association is attenuated by incomplete linkage disequilibrium.

Quantitative Similarity-Based Association Tests Using Population Samples The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 69, Issue 3, 1 September 2001, Pages 601-614 Shuanglin Zhang and Hongyu Zhao Abstract Although genetic association studies using unrelated individuals may be subject to bias caused by population stratification, alternative methods that are robust to population stratification, such as family-based association designs, may be less powerful. Furthermore, it is often more feasible and less expensive to collect unrelated individuals. Recently, several statistical methods have been proposed for case-control association tests in a structured population; these methods may be robust to population stratification. In the present study, we propose a quantitative similarity-based association test (QSAT) to identify association between a candidate marker and a quantitative trait of interest, through use of unrelated individuals. For the QSAT, we first determine whether two individuals are from the same subpopulation or from different subpopulations, using genotype data at a set of independent markers. We then perform an association test between the candidate marker and the quantitative trait, through incorporation of such information. Simulation results based on either coalescent models or empirical population genetics data show that the QSAT has a correct type I error rate in the presence of population stratification and that the power of the QSAT is higher than that of family-based association designs.

QTL Fine Mapping by Measuring and Testing for Hardy-Weinberg and Linkage Disequilibrium at a Series of Linked Marker Loci in Extreme Samples of Populations The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 3, 1 March 2000, Pages 1027-1045 Hong-Wen Deng, Wei-Min Chen and Robert R. Recker Abstract It has recently been demonstrated that fine-scale mapping of a susceptibility locus for a complex disease can be accomplished on the basis of deviations from Hardy-Weinberg (HW) equilibrium at closely linked marker loci among affected individuals. We extend this theory to fine-scale localization of a quantitative-trait locus (QTL) from extreme individuals in populations, by means of HW and linkage-disequilibrium (LD) analyses. QTL mapping and/or linkage analyses can establish a large genomic region (∼30 cM) that contains a QTL. The QTL can be fine mapped by examination of the degree of deviation from HW and LD at a series of closely linked marker loci. The tests can be performed for samples of individuals belonging to either high or low percentiles of the phenotype distribution or for combined samples of these extreme individuals. The statistical properties (the power and the size) of the tests of this fine-mapping approach are investigated and are compared extensively, under various genetic models and parameters for the QTL and marker loci. On the basis of the results, a two-stage procedure that uses extreme samples and different tests (for HW and LD) is suggested for QTL fine mapping. This two-step procedure is economic and powerful and can accurately narrow a genomic region containing a QTL from ∼30–1 cM, a range that renders physical mapping feasible for identification of the QTL. In addition, the relationship between parameterizations of complex diseases, by means of penetrance, and those of complex quantitative traits, by means of genotypic values, is outlined. This means that many statistical genetic methods developed for searching for susceptibility loci of complex diseases can be directly adopted and/or extended to QTL mapping for quantitative traits.

High-resolution mapping is an important step in the identification of complex disease genes. In outbred populations, linkage disequilibrium is expected to operate over short distances and could provide a powerful fine-mapping tool. Here we build on recently developed methods for linkage-disequilibrium mapping of quantitative traits to construct a general approach that can accommodate nuclear families of any size, with or without parental information. Variance components are used to construct a test that utilizes information from all available offspring but that is not biased in the presence of linkage or familiality. A permutation test is described for situations in which maximum-likelihood estimates of the variance components are biased. Simulation studies are used to investigate power and error rates of this approach and to highlight situations in which violations of multivariate normality assumptions warrant the permutation test. The relationship between power and the level of linkage disequilibrium for this test suggests that the method is well suited to the analysis of dense maps. The relationship between power and family structure is investigated, and these results are applicable to study design in complex disease, especially for late-onset conditions for which parents are usually not available. When parental genotypes are available, power does not depend greatly on the number of offspring in each family. Power decreases when parental genotypes are not available, but the loss in power is negligible when four or more offspring per family are genotyped. Finally, it is shown that, when siblings are available, the total number of genotypes required in order to achieve comparable power is smaller if parents are not genotyped.

A Makeover with Mood
Designers Carol Curtis and Sarah Norwood lend a Parisian air to an Atlanta home.
By Christopher Petkanas
Dining Room
Hand-painted 19th-century wallpaper mounted as a screen wraps around Carol Curtis's Atlanta dining area, which she designed with her daughter, Sarah Norwood. Walls are painted Sandy Hook Gray, trim is Gettsyburg Gray, and ceiling is Lambskin, all by Benjamin Moore. A Lee Jofa tufted settee and antique Louis XIV-style dining chairs in their original leather with nailhead trim surround a 1930s lacquer gaming table. The zebra rug is a nod to Albert Hadley, one of Curtis and Norwood's favorite designers.
Living Room
Hugely different styles and periods work together seamlessly in the living room, whose furnishings include a walnut bergère and open-arm chairboth 18th-centuryan Art Deco stool and a fifties cocktail table from the Paris design house Baguès. Curtains in Kravet's Indian Silk.
Curtis and Norwood bought the vintage Karl Springer étagère knowing they'd place it below the sunburst mirror Curtis already owned.
Mood Niche
Curtis and Norwood removed the doors of a closet to re-create a niche theyd seen in a photo of a bedroom designed by the legendary Frances Elkins. Curtains in Jim Thompson silk frame an 18th-century Provençal commode.
Desk Room
The English campaign desk and Chinese lacquer chair in the den are purchases Curtis made in Hong Kong nearly 40 years ago.
The guest room was decorated to suit Norwood, a frequent occupant. On the bed are B. VIZ embroidered pillows, Jane Churchill sheets, and a B.D. Jeffries throw.
Dressing Room
A corner of Curtis's dressing room .
Master Bedroom
Curtis's mother had great taste in department store furniture: She purchased the all-American mahogany bed at B. Altman in the forties and the Louis XVI-style armchair at Bloomingdale's in the fifties. A forties recamier is covered in silk velvet and centered on a window curtained in Crewel from Old World Weavers. The burl walnut armoire and oak chestboth in the Louis XV styleand Directoire mirror were purchased at the Paris flea market. The quilted throw and forties Lucite lamps are from Mrs. Howard, Atlanta.

Local XTERRA Runners Finish Their Series at River Valley Ranch(Manchester, MD) – Over 400 runners from 9 states took their places at the start line during this morning's XTERRA River Valley Ranch Trail Runs. In addition to the 5km event from previous years, a 10km race and a kids' fun run were included attracting more families and doubling the number of participants from last year. William Garland, 20, from Virginia Beach, VA had the fastest time of the day in the 10km race coming in at 38:55 with Patrick Baur, 23, of Baltimore following less than a minute later. Gaithersburg resident Elena Orlova, 38, won the women's race in 42:55 almost 5 minutes ahead of runner-up Megan Riley, 20, of Lexington Park, MD. In the 5km event, Luis Navarro, 31, of Ellicott City took the top spot with his time of 17:52 edging out Chris Sufczynski, 17, of Baltimore in a photo finish by just one second. Sufczynski took second place overall in this event last year as well. For the women, Towson local Stacy Adams, 37, came in first with her time of 22:25 with Molly Morse, 16, of Ellicott City just 12 seconds behind her. According to race director Kelly Dees, "This was a wonderful event! The weather was perfect, and the Outdoor Adventure Camp venue itself led to great experience. Everyone was clapping and cheering. It was a great way to start the day." Since this was the fourth and final event in the 2008 XTERRA Chesapeake Trail Run Series, Regional Champions will be crowned and invited to race for free at the XTERRA Trail Running National Championship on September 27 in Bend, Oregon. Here runners from across the country will come together to challenge themselves against trail running's best competitors. After Nationals, runners will have the opportunity to compete in the first-ever XTERRA Trail Running World Championship on December 7 over a spectacular course on Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. For more information, visit www.xterratrailrun.com. Complete race results are attached and more information can be found online at www.xterratrailrun.com.
