1. The BDL kit included everything necessary to swap out the stock primary.
2. Stroker started the swap by draining the primary fluid and removing the outer primary cover. We're never going to need primary fluid again -- one less thing to worry about.
3. The chain tensioner shoe was nixed next (another part we'll never have to fool with on this bike again), along with the compensating sprocket nut and the clutch. Then the clutch basket, compensating sprocket, and chain were all removed at the same time.
4. Before the inner primary could be removed, the locktabs on the bolts were bent out of the way...
5. ...and the pinion gear as well.
6. The inner primary was officially removed, but there were still a few steps before the new open belt could be installed.
7. Stroker used a JIMS bearing race puller to remove the inner bearing race on the mainshaft of the transmission.
8. The motor and transmission mounts were then loosened to insure proper transmission and motor alignment before the backing plate of the BDL primary could be bolted on.
9. He test fit the backing plate with the motor and trans, shimmed where necessary, then bolted everything down.
10. The new starter pinion gear assembly was then installed.
11. He pressed the roll pins into the front pulley and stock insert, then used high-strength threadlocker on all the bolts, including the polished alternator cover
12. Before final installation of the clutch hub, Stroker greased the splines on the mainshaft in case the clutch hub had to be removed later.
13. He used a straight edge to check the alignment of the pulleys. Measure and check twice, it never hurts.
14. Next, the front pulley, belt, and clutch hub were installed at the same time.
15. The clutch hub mainshaft nut and the front pulley nut were tightened down to H-D specs.
16. A few fiber and steel plates were tossed into the clutch hub, then the stack was topped off with the pressure plate with the desired amount of clutch springs. Keep in mind the more springs you use the harder it is to pull the clutch in.
17. He adjusted the clutch...
18. ...and the clutch cable.
19. A little anti-seize was applied to the pinion gear shaft bushing.
20. The starter housing was then bolted on.
21. Stroker used a deep socket wrench to install the hexagonal standoffs that support the outer guard.
22. With a T-handle hex wrench, the hex head button bolts secured the guard to the standoffs.
23. BDL offers covers for the pulleys that can be secured with double-sided tape. If you want to go that route, simply stick the tape to the outer edge of the pulleys, and the pulley should stay in place, kind of like a hubcap.
24. With all the covers in place, this is the finished product. We chose the naked look instead -- no pulley covers.
25. Before.
26. After. Respect the open beltdrive. Thank you BDL.
There are dangerous moving parts with covers over certain areas to protect the ignorant. The open belt primary appears naked because of the exposed springs, rubber, and pulleys. The sound is different, too. As the motor is revved there is a subtle whine that sounds intimidating like the belt on a blown V-8. Glancing at the other motorcycles in the parking lot, it isn't hard to notice that all their primaries are covered, as if they aren't proud of what's underneath. What are they hiding under all that chrome?
An open beltdrive is a commitment. It is dangerous because you know that belt is moving fast and can tear your pants apart if they're caught in the pulley. You have to understand how it works so you don't hurt yourself when you're near it. The next time your woman hops on the back of your bike you have to tell her to be careful and respect one more part of the motorcycle -- the hot pipe on the right and the spinning beltdrive on the other. You can't just ignore the machine, you have to know its behavior to avoid injury. The bike is suddenly more alive than it ever was.
With so many reasons to go out and get a beltdrive, we're just going to assume that you share our feelings and are already making plans to get one right now. When we began our hunt for the perfect beltdrive for a Softail chopper we decided on two factors, the beltdrive had to have a naked look (no extensive billet covers or flash) and reliability. We flipped through a couple catalogs, and after we were finished looking at porn on the internet, we searched online until we decided that our best choice would be a BDL 3-inch open-beltdrive for '90-and-later Softails, PN BDL-141-3. In order to get the old enclosed primary off and the new primary on the right way we called up V-Twin City in Santa Ana, California. The head service tech, Stroker, was assigned the job and was able to get her done in a single afternoon.

TF2 Backstab mechanics
March 9th, 2010
17 comments
I've been writing in certain forums for a while about the workings of TF2′s "backstab" attack. Since there seems to be a lot of confusion and rage over this instant-kill-from-behind gameplay mechanic, I've decided to collect some of my findings here so I don't need to re-type them often. First I'll explain some basic concepts, and then show some diagrams to see how they add up to describing the backstab behavior. Read more…

OCZ Tech is a company your hear about a lot. There's one reason why that is, they produce some of the finest ram existent. Though OCZ don't just make ram they make power supplies and flash memory, not to mention they take performance to the Extreme. You may have heard about OCZ before, but do you know who they really are?
OCZ gave birth to their great manufacturing company back in August of 2000. Back then DDR was the craze, and though it wasn't fast compared to today, OCZ still had the chance to put out some extremely fast modules for different setups. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts and they make the top gear for enthusiasts. They later became the ram manufactures we know as OCZ, they have their extreme warranties and high speed modules which just show off their knowledge.
In this review I will be looking at some of the newest modules OCZ has to offer. The OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 1024MB Gold Edition Dual Channel (2GB).
These nice modules came in the usual package OCZ ships there ram in. Though it was surrounded by bubble wrap, about 3 layer deep the bubbles were about 1cm tall.
Special Features
ULN stands for (U)ltra (L)ow (N)oise. This is a technology that uses various printed circuit board (PCB) techniques to reduce the amount of electrical noise that is present in all high-speed ICs. This results in faster and more stable memory.
What you get
Well I got what you would pay for, the two gold plated ram modules. Did I mention they were gold plated? now these modules don't exactly have the bling bling effect of LED's like on the Corsair modules. But they sure do look very expensive. Its all that gold.
Test Setup
Test Procedure
Neat Freebies
OCZ chucked in some nice little freebies, some stickers and a cool looking poster (which has ram for magazines).
SiSoft Sandra 2005 Professional
CPU Arthithetic Benchmark - Dhrystone ALU (measured in "mips", higher is better)
As you can see the timings really give the processor the added performance. The OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 swipes in the top spot with not very tight timings of 2.5-3-3-8
CPU Arthithetic Benchmark - Whetstone FPU (measured in "mflops", higher is better) CPU Arthithetic Benchmark - Whetstone iSSE2 (measured in "mflops", higher is better) CPU Multi-Media Benchmark (measured in "it/s", higher is better)
As you can see here over clocking the ram to its specified speed of 500mhz DDR, really doesn't help its every day multi media performance, it would be best to keep the tight timings at 400mhz DDR.
Memory Bandwidth Benchmark (measured in "MB/s", higher is better)
Heres where the dual kit really shows off. Nearly doubling the speed of a single stick setup, though a single stick of OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 over clocked at 500mhz DDR really increases single stick speed.
Future Mark - 3D Mark 05
Graphics: 1024x768
3D Marks (measured in "3D Marks", higher is better)
Hardly much graphic performance is increased when using these high performance modules.
Mem Performance
This is a simple program which sets a array of 20,000,000 long sizes numbers. Each number is set to its array index. Speed is measured in seconds (Lower is better).
You can see the OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 really doesn't change as it is over clocked.
Half Life 2 :* Counter-Strike Source
Map: de_dust Graphics: Game Picked (800x600)
Tested in the map "de_dust" with another bot, each session was run for 10 minutes.
Half Life 2 :* Counter-Strike Source - de_dust (measured in "fps", higher is better)
This is just a game test, performance will vary as the same scene is not repeated. The Mushkin did seem to take a lead possibly because of its low timings.
Battle Field 1942
Map: Operation Battleaxe Graphics: High Quality (800x600x32)
Battle Field 1942 - Operation Battleaxe (measured in "fps", higher is better)
All the modules produced pretty similar results.
The speed of the map load was also recorded.
Battle Field 1942 - Operation Battleaxe (Load Time) (measured in "seconds", lower is better)
The OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 takes no time to load the map here.
Battle Field 2
Map: Zatar Wetlands Graphics: Game Picked (800x600)
Battle Field 2 - Zatar Wetlands (measured in "fps", higher is better)
Battle Field 2 - Zatar Wetlands (Load Time) (measured in "seconds", lower is better)
As you can see the OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 loves this game, it will keep it loading quick and keep up the frame rate. The 2GB really helps here.
(the Mushkin module is not a good performer in this game, it took over 2 minutes to load the map)
Over clocking is not really over clocking unless the end result is stable, and by stable I mean multiple passes of memtest86. I was able to get these modules running 275mhz @ 2.8 volts, anything higher wasn't possible to reach, not even going past 3 volts would make this ram go any higher. At 275mhz the ram was running on timings of 3-4-4-8. Some people have managed to clock these modules at 250mhz with timings of 3-4-3-8.
Memory is a ever changing field, so one day we might see low latency sticks of 512mb, the next day 2gb ram. What might puzzle people is that how large memory modules can keep low timings. Well if you really want to know, that's a question you can ask OCZ. One way might be the increase of voltage, but not with these modules, they can run on a stock voltage of 2.6 at high speeds of 250mhz and not to mention store 2gb. OCZ really have out done themselves here.
Some people might be saying right now, well they cant perform as responsive as other modules, do take into consideration that these modules weren't built for stability with low timings for servers, they were built for gamers and overlockers wanting both a fast machine and a over lockable machines.
Value ram really has left the market these days. Its good to see some Large fast modules coming out with a good price. My DFI had no problems running these, even with an older bios revision.
I would like to quote, "..is the perfect memory upgrade for memory-hungry Battlefield 2 gaming rigs." - OCZ Technologies. They really didn't lye when they said memory hungry BF 2 gaming rigs.
Also one last thing to mention before I give these modules the award they deserve. These Modules come with the OCZ Lifetime warranty, which is very very hard to void (unless you just take it past 2.9 volts for no reason).
OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 1024MB Gold Edition Dual Channel (2GB) takes home the 100% pure beefiness award, there's only one reason why! they are extremely beefy!!!
Pros ( + )
Low Voltage requirements
Reasonable Over clocks with low timings.
Can reach Specified speed with no problems
Gold Heat Spreaders
Lifetime Manufactures Warranty
Kit of Dual Channel Modules
2 Gig!!!!
Cons ( - )
Your going to want a motherboard worthy of using these modules (Chipset can go upto or past 250mhz)

You've all heard the dire predictions for the future of newspapers: skeptics crying that all newspapers are obsolete and that new media (like blogs, feeds, and online aggregators) would wipe newspapers off the face of the earth. However, Tech Crunch has some interesting results about the popularity of different types of media.
In a yearlong study, Tech Crunch compared the number of articles per month based on the number of article shares. Here are some of the key takeaways:
Newspapers are Less Volatile than New Media
With Google and Facebook constantly changing how their users get updates, many new media outlets fluctuate incredibly violently. When it comes to older media like newspapers and televisions, however, Tech Crunch had this to say:
"Television, newspapers, magazines — your CNNs, your New York Times, your New Yorkers — appear to have enormous momentum, meaning that their social readerships rise and fall only slowly."
BuzzFeed seems to be the exception to the rule. With explosive growth through 2013, BuzzFeed may be the new face of online media in the years to come.
Permeable Paywalls are Effective
A common trend in all of these different publications is that there is a couple of articles that become very popular while the majority of the articles receive little attention. A permeable paywall, where users can view a certain number of articles for free per day, can be a good approach. Popular articles will be shared through free users, where paid users can view the rest of your content.
Even though the medium is shifting towards online news, this doesn't mean it's the end of the newspaper industry. As long as news can be made accessible and relevant, newspapers will still be popular.
For more information, as well as the actual data graphs, take a look at Tech Crunch's article here.

A national database that lets you access the names of those who have been convicted of domestic violence is getting a makeover, courtesy of some college students in the Region. Purdue University Calumet's Department of Computer Information and Graphics Professor and department head Chuck Winer says he was contacted by the registry's founder and Executive Director, Myra Spearman, on building a new database, from the ground up, and to add some changes, which graduate Sean Robertson of Munster did through an experimental learning opportunity last Spring. Winer says 2 students are currently redesigning the database, creating different entities to make it easier to store and retrieve information from the database, as well as changing the interface that people use to access the site.

Official says 4 election workers kidnapped in eastern Afghanistan; elders seek their release | |||||||||||||||||||||
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- An Afghan election commission official says four election coordinators were kidnapped in Afghanistan's restive Nangarhar province, which borders neighboring Pakistan. Sareer Ahmed Barmal, a commissioner with the Independent Election Commission, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the four men were taken a day earlier and no one has taken responsibility for their abduction or demanded a ransom. Barmal says area elders have been meeting in an attempt to discover the identities of the kidnappers in order to negotiate the release of the men. On Monday, the Taliban threatened violence ahead of Afghanistan's April 5 presidential elections, warning Afghans to stay away from the polls and promising attacks against election workers and Afghan security forces protecting them. © 2014 The Associated Press.

Two years after a shining feature in Vogue's September Fall Fashion issue, Ashley Dearborn hasn't a lost a step of her whimsy in designing these fantastical shoes.
I was initially reluctant to get these,ONLY because of the hefty price tag.You know that expression "You get what you pay for"...? You will in spades.The leather is soft and supple.The quality exceptional.The fit is true to size ,cushiony and comfortable to walk in.You can wear them for hrs. (unlike Converse) They're stylish and unlike no other.They'll elevate your style to another level.Definitely recommend.

Epson debuts new all-in-one printer
Epson announced a new all-in-one color inkjet today, the Epson CX7000F. Aimed at homes and very small offices, the device prints, scans, copies, and faxes, an important feature for offices. Unfortunately, it lacks an automatic document feeder, so batch scans/copies/faxes are a manual job. Built-in media card readers and a PictBridge port are a nod to home users.
The DURABrite Ultra Ink is contained in individual cartridges and good for both regular prints and photos. One cool feature is the ability to continue printing in black even if you're running low on black ink (it combines the … Read more
Epson Stylus Photo 1400: dye, prints! Dye!
It seems like decades ago that Epson released its last dye-based, 13-inch printer, the Stylus Photo 1280. Well, it's only been six years, but in this biz it feels like decades--and the printer is still pretty popular for a model so old. But even the most well-preserved stars eventually need a face-lift, so this week the company announced the Stylus Photo 1400, a 13x19-inch-capable model that uses Epson's Claria dye inks and 1.5-picoliter-droplet printhead. Dubbed "Ultra Hi-Def" printing--after all, if it works for TV, why not printers?--the 6-color Claria ink set has been rated … Read more

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may include groups such as the Friends of Blair Mountain and the United Mine Workers of America in its efforts to develop an agreement about mining on the historic Blair Mountain Battlefield.
The Corps of Engineers released a public notice Friday that seeks to "identify consulting parties" who might want to help decide the future of the historic property.
Any organization that wants to become a consulting party must submit a written request to the Corps of Engineers in Huntington by Aug. 11.
Blair Mountain, on the border of Logan and Boone counties, was the site of the largest armed conflict in American labor history. Between Aug. 25 and Sept. 2, 1921, more than 10,000 union coal miners fought armed coal company guards, a battle that ended only after federal troops intervened.
Mari-Lynn Evans, a leader of Friends of Blair Mountain, said Monday her group had just received the notice of the "programmatic agreement," which allows the group to "follow through on our discussions about how to preserve Blair Mountain."
"This is really historic. There is an opportunity to preserve Blair Mountain and to do it cooperatively. As West Virginians, we have an obligation not only to preserve that place that means so much to all of us, but also to create economic development down there.
"This is the first time the Corps of Engineers has ever issued a programmatic agreement in this district," Evans said.
Raamie Barker, senior adviser to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, said Monday, "This is a legal step to bring both sides together to preserve the part of the mountain. We just worked in helping to bring them together. We are not in the negotiations ourselves. They have been working toward the programmatic agreement."
Barker believes the Corps of Engineers' announcement is "very important to what has been going on. It could be a milestone. Even the coal operators believe Blair Mountain should be preserved. The issue is how much land should the companies literally give away. I think it is a big deal."
In its "public notice," the Corps said its "programmatic agreement" would be limited to the regulatory authority it has under the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and the Clean Water Act.
Three companies have already filed applications to be involved in helping the Corps create the programmatic agreement: Aracoma Coal Co., a subsidiary of Alpha Natural Resources; Mingo Logan Coal Co., a subsidiary of Arch Coal; and Western Pocahontas Properties.
Alpha and Arch are the two companies already mining coal in areas near Blair Mountain. Western Pocahontas Properties, a major landholder in Southern West Virginia, owns the property. WPP is a subsidiary of Natural Resource Partners, based in Houston.

Is America Co-Opting Our Cool?
By Josh Klemons What group of Jewish friends in high school didn't have their "honorary Jew" that infiltrated their ranks? The kid who had other friends but yearned to be included nonetheless? They laughed right along with us at our Jewish jokes, asked us about our "Jewish God," complained when they thought that Jews were getting a bad rap and all in all did what they could to fit in with our "Jew Crew." We loved it. It reaffirmed for us that someone outside of our Hebrew school classes and sleep-away camps and youth groups realized that we were, in fact, worthwhile. It reassured us that despite our differences, and maybe because of them, we were cool. But we always knew that we were cool. After all, Jews have always been popular in modern American society. From Hollywood to Manhattan, Jews set the stage. They have been influential in movies, music, television, comedy and everything in between. And we all knew that if Jews didn't create it, they probably managed, produced or accounted for it.
Sometimes they talked about it: Adam Sandler had the country singing about Hanukkah for months after the Christmas carols had ceased playing on the radio. Sometimes they chided it: Jon Stewart constantly jokes about his "bagels and lox Judaism." More often than not, they ignored it altogether. But they were all there representing us and we knew it. But these are secular Jews that we are talking about. Judaism as a people was cool. Seinfeld having a Jewish name and Phish having two Jewish members, that was enough for us. When did Judaism as a religion become so popular, and, dare I say, cool? While intermarriage rates are proof that non-Jews have become totally accepting of Jews in a way that no society has ever been in history, America's recent obsession with both Kabbalah and Matisyahu is simply mind-boggling. I live in San Diego. I go to parties with no other Jews in attendance and Matisyahu is blaring on the radio. People are singing right along. Do they know what a Moshiach is? Maybe they are thinking it's a step up from Manischewitz. "We want Moshiach, we want Moshiach now!" Do they think that they are screaming for debauchery? Are they searching the lyrics for an excuse to party, even as Matisyahu continues that drugs are wrong, and they can "only bring you down." He gets high through God; they get high through Matisyahu. In fact, Matisyahu recently played New Year's Eve in San Diego and tickets sold out in 35 minutes. I guarantee you that for every Jewish person that was there, there were three non-Jews in attendance. Are they not listening to the lyrics as he sings, sometimes in Hebrew, about Jews wandering the desert and following the mitzvot (commandments)? If they are listening, what could possibly be going through their minds? They know the words, but do they understand the message? Do they know what will happen to them should the Moshiach in fact arrive? (Do we for that matter?)
This is all part of a stranger situation going on in our country. Jews are moving further and further away from Judaism and non-Jews are embracing it in a way that has seldom been seen in modern history. Madonna now goes by Esther, Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears are wearing red "Kabbalah bracelets," suddenly Judaism is the new "thing," the place to be seen if you will. As America appears to be diving headfirst into our deep and wonderful and often confusing traditions, are they driving Jews out? Even if these non-Jews never really make it beyond the surface of our heritage, is it possible that their splash, showy if still shallow, is scaring Jews out of the pool altogether? Or perhaps we had already left, giving them room to capitalize on our heritage in a way that so few of us have done successfully in American society. While writing a sermon for the High Holidays, I did some research into the notion of non-Jews marrying Jewish. We all know that Jews are marrying outside of the faith, but as I hinted at earlier, what's far stranger is that non-Jews are willing to marry us. Is it proof that we have reached full acceptance in society at large or is it more than that? I found books advising non-Jews on catching a Jewish mate. With titles such as "Boy Vey: A Shiksa's Guide to Dating Jewish Men," they advise non-Jewish (women, anyway) on finding, dating and ultimately, marrying Jewish. I often wonder what kind of reaction our ancestors living in Eastern Europe might have, if they were informed of the situation today. Would they be shocked that we are marrying outside of the fold, or would they be thrilled that beautiful women and successful men are going out of their way to have us? The way that I see it, we are at a fork in the road and it is time to make some decisions. We can go to the right and be angry that these non-Jews are stepping into our traditions. We can complain that no self respecting parents can dub their newborn daughter Esther for at least another five years. We can moan that we have to buy our Matisyahu tickets on Ebay with everyone else. We can yell at the Kabbalah Centers for misrepresenting one of the most complicated areas of our ancient traditions with blessed waters and canned spirituality. We can choose the left and walk away from it completely. We can hand it all over to the new keepers of the faith. They weren't born into Judaism, but maybe they will treat it with some respect and dignity after all. Or we can choose the middle road, which in my opinion is also the high road. We can appreciate their interest and foster growth within ourselves as we strive to stay ahead of them in their Jewish education. We can be the first ones on the phone to buy our Matisyahu tickets next year. We can go to Israel and buy hoards of red string to resell and capitalize on our Taglit - birthright israel experiences. Whatever we are going to do, we must remember that it was our bloodline, and often our ancestors blood, that got us this far and we must make our decisions accordingly. Is it time to walk away and give up, simply because for the first time in history, society will allow us to do so? Or do we realize that we were born into Judaism and had the option to leave and didn't, holding our heads, yarmulke or not, that much higher. The choice is clear in my book, but the decision is in your hands. Josh Klemons lives in San Diego, California, and has worked for the San Diego State Hillel since graduating from the University of Georgia. Along with his job with Hillel, Josh is a musician and a freelance writer. He is looking forward to working as an Engagement Associate in the near future. [Posted 1/27/06] |

So, I just leveled up my DK alt, and after reading the forums, I am no clearer on whether Frost or Unholy is better for 2s and 3s/5s.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but from what has been written, Unholy can deal out more sustained pressure and obviously has more survival options. Furthermore, when playing in 3s/5s, DKs are more proferial, so unholy is more suitable.
However, the up front and bursty nature of frost is still very attractive for me. Also, from what little I have played, it seems that frost spec is pretty shitty if I am not in frost presence (cheap frost strikes).
Thanks in advance for insight.

Played PHD this season and i can honestly say that UH is better than frost, because in the current meta game there is always a shadow priest on the opposite team. UH's necrotics and overall damage is better than frosts and you should definitely play it. EDIT: 5s frost all the way due to constant swaps unless you are going to tunnel one target by yourself, which can work well
P.S - its also getting buffed next patch =D

A Novel Locus (RP24) for X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa Maps to Xq26-27 The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 63, Issue 5, 1 November 1998, Pages 1439-1447 Linn Gieser, Ricardo Fujita, Harald H.H. Göring, Jurg Ott, Dennis R. Hoffman, Artur V. Cideciyan, David G. Birch, Samuel G. Jacobson and Anand Swaroop Abstract Summary Two genetic loci, RP2 and RP3, for X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) have been localized to Xp11.3-11.23 and Xp21.1, respectively. RP3 appears to account for 70% of XLRP families; however, mutations in the RPGR gene (isolated from the RP3 region) are identified in only 20% of affected families. Close location of XLRP loci at Xp and a lack of unambiguous clinical criteria do not permit assignment of genetic subtype in a majority of XLRP families; nonetheless, in some pedigrees, both RP2 and RP3 could be excluded as the causative locus. We report the mapping of a novel locus, RP24, by haplotype and linkage analysis of a single XLRP pedigree. The RP24 locus was identified at Xq26-27 by genotyping 52 microsatellite markers spanning the entire X chromosome. A maximum LOD score of 4.21 was obtained with DXS8106. Haplotype analysis assigned RP24 within a 23-cM region between the DXS8094 (proximal) and DXS8043 (distal) markers. Other chromosomal regions and known XLRP loci were excluded by obligate recombination events between markers in those regions and the disease locus. Hemizygotes from the RP24 family have early onset of rod photoreceptor dysfunction; cone receptor function is normal at first, but there is progressive loss. Patients at advanced stages show little or no detectable rod or cone function and have clinical hallmarks of typical RP. Mapping of the RP24 locus expands our understanding of the genetic heterogeneity in XLRP and will assist in development of better tools for diagnosis. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1895 kb) |
Remapping of the RP15 Locus for X-Linked Cone-Rod Degeneration to Xp11.4-p21.1, and Identification of a De Novo Insertion in the RPGR Exon ORF15 The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 67, Issue 4, 1 October 2000, Pages 1000-1003 Alan J. Mears, Suja Hiriyanna, Raf Vervoort, Beverly Yashar, Linn Gieser, Stacey Fahrner, Stephen P. Daiger, John R. Heckenlively, Paul A. Sieving, Alan F. Wright and Anand Swaroop Abstract X-linked forms of retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) are among the most severe, because of their early onset, often leading to significant vision loss before the 4th decade. Previously, the RP15 locus was assigned to Xp22, by linkage analysis of a single pedigree with "X-linked dominant cone-rod degeneration." After clinical reevaluation of a female in this pedigree identified her as affected, we remapped the disease to a 19.5-cM interval (DXS1219–DXS993) at Xp11.4-p21.1. This new interval overlapped both RP3 (RPGR) and COD1. Sequencing of the previously published exons of RPGR revealed no mutations, but a de novo insertion was detected in the new RPGR exon, ORF15. The identification of an RPGR mutation in a family with a severe form of cone and rod degeneration suggests that RPGR mutations may encompass a broader phenotypic spectrum than has previously been recognized in "typical" retinitis pigmentosa.

X-Linked Cone-Rod Dystrophy (Locus COD1): Identification of Mutations in RPGR Exon ORF15 The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 70, Issue 4, 1 April 2002, Pages 1049-1053 F. Yesim K. Demirci, Brian W. Rigatti, Gaiping Wen, Amy L. Radak, Tammy S. Mah, Corrine L. Baic, Elias I. Traboulsi, Tiina Alitalo, Juliane Ramser and Michael B. Gorin Abstract X-linked cone-rod dystrophy (COD1) is a retinal disease that primarily affects the cone photoreceptors; the disease was originally mapped to a limited region of Xp11.4. We evaluated the three families from our original study with new markers and clinically reassessed all key recombinants; we determined that the critical intervals in families 2 and 3 overlapped the RP3 locus and that a status change (from affected to probably unaffected) of a key recombinant individual in family 1 also reassigned the disease locus to include RP3 as well. Mutation analysis of the entire RPGR coding region identified two different 2-nucleotide (nt) deletions in ORF15, in family 2 (delAG) and in families 1 and 3 (delGG), both of which result in a frameshift leading to altered amino acid structure and early termination. In addition, an independent individual with X-linked cone-rod dystrophy demonstrated a 1-nt insertion (insA) in ORF15. The presence of three distinct mutations associated with the same disease phenotype provides strong evidence that mutations in RPGR exon ORF15 are responsible for COD1. Genetic heterogeneity was observed in three other families, including the identification of an in-frame 12-nt deletion polymorphism in ORF15 that did not segregate with the disease in one of these families.

Progressive X-linked cone-rod dystrophy (COD1) is a retinal disease affecting primarily the cone photoreceptors. The COD1 locus originally was localized, by the study of three independent families, to a region between Xp11.3 and Xp21.1, encompassing the retinitis pigmentosa (RP) 3 locus. We have refined the COD1 locus to a limited region of Xp11.4, using two families reported elsewhere and a new extended family. Genotype analysis was performed by use of eight microsatellite markers (tel-M6CA, DXS1068, DXS1058, DXS993, DXS228, DXS1201, DXS1003, and DXS1055-cent), spanning a distance of 20 cM. Nine-point linkage analysis, by use of the VITESSE program for X-linked disorders, established a maximum LOD score (17.5) between markers DXS1058 and DXS993, spanning 4.0 cM. Two additional markers, DXS977 and DXS556, which map between DXS1058 and DXS993, were used to further narrow the critical region. The RP3 gene, RPGR, was excluded on the basis of two obligate recombinants, observed in two independent families. In a third family, linkage analysis did not exclude the RPGR locus. The entire coding region of the RPGR gene from two affected males from family 2 was sequenced and was found to be normal. Haplotype analysis of two family branches, containing three obligate recombinants, two affected and one unaffected, defined the COD1 locus as distal to DXS993 and proximal to DXS556, a distance of ∼1.0 Mb. This study excludes COD1 as an allelic variant of RP3 and establishes a novel locus that is sufficiently defined for positional cloning.

Continues from previous Patanjali Yoga Sutra post.
Dispassion does not take joy away from you. Dispassion gives you joy that nothing else can give you. There is a verse in Shankaracharya's composition Bhaja Govindam: Kasya sukham na karoti viragaha?, which means, "What pleasure cannot be given by dispassion?" It gives all the pleasures because you are so totally in the moment.
The so-called dispassion in the world seems so dry. People who think that they are dispassionate are melancholic. They are sad. They run away from the world and then they call this as dispassion and say that they have renounced the world. This is not renunciation. That is not dispassion. People escape out of sorrow, out of misery, out of apathy. And escapists think they are dispassionate. Dispassion is something more precious, refined and more valuable in life.
Here is a story. When Alexander the Great left for India, people had told him, "If you find sanyasis there, just catch hold of them and bring them back here. They are very precious in India." So Alexander sent word and nobody would come forward. He then sent a message threatening them, "If you don't come, I am going to chop your head off."
They still did not come. He then threatened them, "I am going to take away your books, the four Vedas. I will take all you have and your scriptures."
Receive a fresh Patanjali knowledge sheet every Wednesday with Sri Sri's commentaries on Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
The people said they would give him all the books the next evening. The pundits then called their children and made them memorize the script all night. They then took the manuscripts to Alexander and said, "You can take them, we do not need them."
Alexander then threatened to cut off their heads. The sanyasis told him he was free to do as he pleased. Alexander could not look into their eyes and could not tolerate the power of dispassion. He had met someone for the first time, who did not care for the emperor.
When Alexander came to India, some people presented him with a plate of gold bread. He had told them he was hungry and they had told him, since he was an emperor he could not eat wheat bread. He told them he was starving and wanted bread. To which the people said: "Don't you get bread in your country? Are you going all over and trying to conquer the world just to eat the same bread we are eating?" The statement shook Alexander's world. It made him realize that what they were saying was the truth. He thought to himself: "What is the point of conquering the world? When all you want is happiness and peace." Legend has it that Alexander then proclaimed: "When I die, leave my hands open. Let people know that Alexander, who thought he had taken everything, is leaving the world with nothing."
Dispassion is the strength in you. When you are centered and calm, you can understand that everyone who has come to this world has come to give something to this world. We have nothing to take from here.

With the NHL locked out, players are looking for work where they can. Unfortunately for LA Kings forward Dustin Penner it doesn't always mean getting paid. After winning the Stanely Cup in June, Penner is now an unpaid intern for the Conan O'Brien show. But this isn't Penner's first encounter with Conan. In July, Penner and O'Brien were in a Twitter feud, when @ConanOBrien tweeted: "It's quiet today in LA. Reminds me of the day the Kings won the Stanley Cup." Penner chimed back, @Dustinpenner25 "I guess being on TBS you would know what silence sounds like…" no wonder Penner wasn't paid

Two New York-based private investment firms agreed to buy a controlling interest in Twin Rivers Paper Co. Inc. for an undisclosed price.
Blue Wolf Capital Partners and Atlas Holdings said they have track records of working with forest products companies in North America. They agreed to acquire the controlling stake from Brookfield Asset Management Inc. The deal is expected to close in three weeks.
Twin Rivers, which has facilities in Madawaska and New Brunswick, produces specialty papers and lumber.
"With the active support, direction and guidance our firms bring, we believe we can provide Twin Rivers with additional resources to address its capital needs, cost structure, market exposure and other critical operational challenges presented by the highly competitive forest products industry," Tim Fazio, managing partner of Atlas Holdings, said in a statement.
