It's no secret that communication service providers (CSPs) are under a lot of pressure as they make massive investments in upgraded networks while facing shrinking margins and revenues from their eroding traditional voice or broadcasting businesses.
Traditional operators understand that they must go beyond what they did before. They need to offer more compelling services to reduce churn and acquire new customers. But how to know what services customers want most, and how much to charge for them?
A key asset CSPs have is the huge amount of information that they generate and maintain. And so it's the analytics from their massive data sets that becomes the go-to knowledge resource as CSPs re-invent themselves.
Our next Big Data innovation discussion therefore explores how the telecommunication service-provider industry is gaining new business analytic value and strategic return through the better use and refinement of their Big Data assets.
To learn more about how analytics has become a business imperative for service providers, peruse this interview with Oded Ringer, Worldwide Solution Enablement Lead for HP Communication and Media Solutions. The discussion is moderated by me, Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: What are the major trends leading CSPs to view themselves as being more data-driven organizations?
Ringer: CSPs are under a lot of pressure. On one hand, this industry has never been more central. Everybody is connected, spending so much more time online than ever before, and carrying with them small devices through which they connect to the network. So CSPs are central to our work and personal lives – as a result, they're under lot of pressure.
They're under a lot of pressure, because they're required to make massive investments in the networks, but they also need to deal with shrinking margins and revenues to subsidize these investments. So, at the end of the day, they're squeezed between these two motions.
One approach many CSPs have adopted in the last year was to reduce cost and to cut operations. But this is pretty much a trip to nowhere. Going into most basic services and commodity services is no way for these kinds of things to survive.
In the last two to three years, more and more traditional operators understand that they must go beyond what they did before. They need to offer more compelling services to reduce churn and acquire new customers. They need to leverage their position as a central place between consumers and what they are looking for to become some kind of brokers of information.
The key asset they have in their hand to become such brokers is the huge amount of information that they maintain. It's exactly where analytics comes into play.
Talking about mobile
Gardner: When we say CSP and telecommunication companies these days, we're more and more talking about mobile, right? How big a shift has mobile been in terms of the need to analyze use patterns and get to know what's really happening out in the mobile network?
Ringer: Mobile services are certainly the leading tool in most operator's arsenals. Operators that have the subscriber "connected" with them wherever they go, around the clock, have an advantage over those that are more dependent upon or only provide tethered services.
But we need to keep in mind that there's also a whole space for analytics solutions that are related to fixed-line services, like cable, satellite, broadband, and other, landline services. CSPs are investing a lot in becoming more predictive, finding out what the subscriber really wants, what the quality of those services are at any given time, and how we can reduce churn in their customer base.
Another kind of analytics practices that operators take is trying to be predictive in their investments in the network, understanding which network segments are used by more high-worth individuals, those that they do want to improve service to, beefing up those networks and not the other networks.
Again, it's these mobile operators who are on the front lines of doing more with subscriber data and information in general, but it is also true for cable operators and pay-TV operators, and landline CSPs.
CSPs, unlike most enterprises, need to handle not only the structured data that's coming from databases and so on, but also unstructured data.
Gardner: Oded, what are some of the data challenges specific to CSPs?
Ringer: In the CSP industry, Big Data is bigger than in any other industry. Bigger, first of all, in volume. There is no other industry that runs this amount of data – if you take into consideration they're carrying everybody's data, consumer and enterprise. But that's one aspect and is not even the most complicated one.
The more complicated thing is the fact that CSPs, unlike most enterprises, need to handle not only the structured data that's coming from databases and so on, but also unstructured data, such as web communication, voice communication, and video content. They want to analyze all those things, and this requires analyzing unstructured data.
So that's a significant change in that type of process flow. They are also facing the need to look at new sets of structured data, data from IT management and security log files, from sensors and end-point mobile device telematics, cable set-top boxes, etc.
And two, in the CSP industry, because everything is coming from the wire, there's no such thing as off-line analytics or batch analytics. Everything needs to be real-time analytics. Of course, this doesn't mean that there will not be off-line or batch analytics, but even these are becoming more complex and span many more data sets across multiple enterprise silos.
More real time
If you analyze subscriber behavior right now and you want to make an offer to improve the experience that he's having in real time, you need to capture the degradation of service right now and correlate it with what you know about the subscriber right now. So it's so much more real time than in any other industry.
The market is still young. So it's very hard to say which one will be more dominant.
We're not talking here about projects of data consolidation. It may be necessary in some cases, but that's not really the practice that we're talking about here. We're talking about federating, referring to external information, analyzing in the context of the logic that we want to apply, and making real-time decisions.
In short, CSP Big Data analytics is Big Data analytics on steroids.
Gardner: What does a long-term solution look like, rather than cherry picking against some of these analytics requirements? Is there a more strategic overview approach that would pay off longer term and put these organizations in a better position as they know more and more requirements will be coming their way?
Ringer: Actually we see two kinds of behaviors. The market is still young. So it's very hard to say which one will be more dominant. We see some CSPs that are coming to us with a very clear idea on what business process they want to implement and how they believe a data-driven approach can be applied to it.
They have clear model, a clear return on investment (ROI) and they want to go for it and implement it. Of course, they need the technology, the processes, and the business projects, but their focus is pretty much on a single use case or a variety of use cases that are interrelated. That's one trend.
There's another trend in which operators say they need to start looking at their data as an asset, as an area that they want to centralize. They want to control it in a productive manner, both for security, for privacy, and for the ability to leverage it to different purposes.
Central asset
Those will typically come with a roadmap of different implementations that they would like to do via this Big Data facility that they have in mind and want to implement. But what's more important for them is not the quickest time to launch specific processes, but to start treating the data as a central asset and to start building a business plan around it.
I guess both trends will continue for quite some while, but we see them both in the market sometimes even in the same company in different organizations.
Gardner: How does a CSP can really change their identity from being a pipe, a conduit, to being more of a rich services provider on top of communications?
And what is it that HP is bringing to the table? What is it about HP HAVEn, in particular, that is well suited to where the telecommunications industry is going and what the requirements are?
Ringer: HP has made huge investments in the space of Big Data in general and analytics in particular, both in-house developments, multiple products, as well as acquisitions of external assets.
Complete platform
HAVEn is now the complete platform that includes multiple best-in-class product elements based multiple, cutting edge yet proven technologies, for exploiting Big Data and analytics. Our solution for the space is pretty much based on HAVEn and expanded with specific solutions for CSP needs, with a wide gallery of connectors for external data sources that exist within the CSP space.
In short, we're taking HAVEn and using it for the CSP industry with lots of knowledge about what traditional CSP operators need to become next-generation CSPs. Why?
Because we have a very large group within HP of telecom experts who interact with and leverage what we're doing in other industries and with many of the new age service providers like the Amazons, Googles, Facebook and Twitters of the world. We go a long way back in expertise in telecom -- but combine this with forward thinking customers and our internal visionaries in HP Labs and across our business units.
Gardner: Just to be clear for our audience, HAVEn translates to Hadoop, Autonomy, Vertica, and Enterprise Security, along with a whole suite of horizontally and vertically integrated set of applications that are vertical industry specific. Is that right?
It's coming from the business people that understand that they need to do something with the data and monetize it.
Ringer: Exactly.
Gardner: Tell me what you do in terms of how you reach out to communications organizations. Is there something about meeting them at the hardware level and then alerting them to what these other Big Data capabilities are? Is this a cross-discipline type of approach? How do you actually integrate HP services and then take that and engage with these CSPs?
Ringer: Those things exist, like engaging at a hardware level, but those are the less common go-to-market motions that we see. The more popular ones are more top-down, in the sense that we are meeting with business stakeholders who wants to know how to leverage Big Data and analytics to improve their business.
They don't care about the data other than how it's going to be result in actionable intelligence. So, at the CSP level, it can be with marketing officers within the CSP who are looking to create more personalized services or more sticky services to increase the attention of their subscribers. They're looking to analytics for that.
It can be with business-development managers within the CSP organization that are looking to create models of collaboration with the Yahoos and Facebooks of the world, with retailers, or with any kind of other participants of their ecosystem where they can bring the ability to provide the pipe, back-end hosting of services and intelligence about how the pipe is providing the services and the sentiment of the customers on the other end of the pipe.
They want to share information of value to their customers, making them dependent on them in new ways that aren't just about the pipe thereby gaining new revenue streams. That's the kind of motivation they have. It can be with IT folks as well, but at the end of the day the discussion about CSP Big Data isn't coming from the technology. It's coming from the business people that understand that they need to do something with the data and monetize it.
Then, of course, it becomes pretty quickly a technical discussion that the motion is business to technology, rather than infrastructure to technology.
Support practice
We also developed the support practice within our organization that does exactly that, business advisory workshops. It's for stakeholders of different roles to realize what the priorities are in using Big Data. What is the roadmap that they want to implement?
The purpose of this exercise is to quickly bring everybody to the same room, sit together for a day or two, and come out with an agreement on how to turn themselves from conventional services to more personalized services and diversify the business channels via using information data.
For several years now, we have one large customer, Telefónica a Latin American conglomerate, has been working with us on analytics projects to improve the quality of experience of their subscribers.
In Latin America, most people are interested in football, and many of them want to watch it on their mobile device. The challenge is that they all want to watch it during the same 90 minutes. That's a challenge for any mobile operator, and that's exactly where we started a critical project with Telefónica.
We're helping them analyze the quality of experience. Realizing the quality of the experience isn't a very complicated thing. There are probes in the network to do that. We can pretty accurately get the quality of experience for every single video streaming session. It's no big deal.
Analytics kicks in when you want to correlate this aggregation of quality with who the subscriber is, how the subscriber is expected to behave, and what he's interested in. We know that the quality isn't good enough for many subscribers during the football game, but we need to differentiate and know to which one of them we want to make an offer to upgrade his package. What's the right offer? When's the right time to make the offer? How many different offers do we test to zero in on the best set of offers?
We want to know which one of them we don't want to promote anything to, but just want to make him happy. We want to give him a better quality experience for free, because he is a good customer and we don't want to lose him. And we want to know which customer we want to come back to later, apologize, and offer him a better deal.
Real-time analytics
Based on real-time triggering of events from the network, degradation of quality with information that is ongoing about the subscriber, who the subscriber is, what marketing segment he belongs to, what package is he subscribed to and so on, we do the analytics in real time, and decide what the right action is and what the right move is, in order for us to give the best experience for the individual subscriber.
It's working very nicely for them. I like this example, first of all, because it's real, but also because it shows the variety of processes we have here with correlation of real-time information with ongoing information for the subscribers. We have contextual action that is taken to monetize and to improve quality and to improve satisfaction.
This example touches so many needs of an operator and is all done in a pretty straightforward manner. The implementation is rather simple. It's all based on running the right processes and putting the right business process in place. But this isn't always straightforward for enterprise customers, particularly those in the small to medium enterprise segment so imagine what CSPs could do for their customers once they've gotten a handle on this for their own businesses.
We have contextual action that is taken to monetize and to improve quality and to improve satisfaction.
Gardner: It seems to me that that helps reduce the risk of a provider or their customers coming out with new services. If they know that they can adjust rapidly and can make good on services, perhaps this gives them more runway to take off with new services, knowing that they can adjust and be more agile. It seems like it really fundamentally changes how well they can do their business.
Ringer: Absolutely. It also reduces quite a lot the risk of investment. If you launch a new service and you find out that you need to beef up your entire network, that is a major hit for your investment strategy. At the same time, if you realize that you can be very granular and very selective in your investment, you can do it much more easily and justify subsequent investments more clearly.
Gardner: Are there any other examples of how this is manifesting itself in the market -- the use of Big Data in the telecommunication's industry?
Ringer: Let me give another example in North America. This is an implementation that we did for a large mobile operator in North America, in collaboration with a chain of retail malls.
What we did there is combine their ongoing information that the mobile operator has about its subscribers -- he knows what the subscriber is interested in, what they're prior buying pattern and transactions were and so on -- with the location information of where the individual person is at the mall.
The mall operator runs a private wi-fi network there, so he has his own system of being able to track where the individual is exactly within the mall. He knows within two meters where a person is in the mall but with the map overlay of the physical mall and all product and service offerings to the same grid.
When we know a person is in the mall, we can correlate it with what the CSP knows about this person already. He knows that the specific person has high probability of looking for a specific running shoe. The mobile operator knows it because he tracks the web behavior of the specific individual. He tracks the profile of the specific individual and he can have pretty good accuracy in telling that this guy, for the right offer, will say yes for running shoes.
Targeted and timely
So combining these two things, the ongoing analytics of the preferences, together with real-time location information, give us the ability to push out targeted and timely promotions and coupons.
Imagine that you go in the mall and suddenly you pass next to the shoe store. Here, your device pops up a message and that says right now, Nike shoes are 50 percent off for the next 15 minutes. You know that you're looking for Nike shoes. So the chance that you'll go into the store is very good, and the results are very good because you create a "buy-now or you'll miss-out" feeling in the prospect. Many subscribers take the coupons that are pushed to them in this way.
Of course, it's all based on opt-in, and of course, it's very granular in the sense that there are analytics that we do on subscriber information that is opted in at the level of what they allow us to look at. For instance, a specific person may allow us to look at his behavior on retail sites, but not on financial sites.
Gardner: Again, this shows a fundamental shift that the communications provider is not just a conduit for information, but can also offer value-added services to both the seller and the buyer -- radically changing their position in their markets.
If I am an organization in the CSP industry and I listen to you and I have some interest in pursuing better Big Data analytics, how do I get started? Where can I go for more information? What is it that you've put together that allows me to work on this rather quickly?
Ringer: As I mentioned before, we typically recommend engaging in a two-day workshop with our business consultants. We have a large team of Big Data advisory consultants, and that's exactly what they do. They understand the priorities and work together with the telecom organizations to come up with some kind of a roadmap -- what they want to do, what they can do, what they are going to do first, and what they are going to do later.
They all look to become more proactive, they all realize that data is an asset and is something that you need to keep handy, keep private, and keep secured.
That's our preferred way of approaching this discipline. Overall, there are so many kinds of use cases, and we need to decide where to start. So that's how we start. To engage, the best place is to go to our website. We have lots of information there. The URL is hp.com/go/telcoBigData, that's one word, and from there you just click Contact Us, and we'll get back to you. We'll take you from there. There are no commitments, but chances are very good.
Gardner: Before we sign off, I just wanted to look into the future. As you pointed out, more and more entertainment and media services are being delivered through communication providers. The mobile aspect of our lives continues to grow rapidly. And, of course, now that cloud computing has become more prominent, we can expect that more data will be available across cloud infrastructures, which can be daunting, but also very powerful. Where do you see the future challenges, and what are some of the opportunities?
Ringer: We can summarize four main trends that we're seeing increasing and accelerating. One is that CSPs are becoming more active in enabling new business models with partnerships, collaborations, internet players, and so on. This is a major trend.
The second trend that we see increasing quite intensively is operators becoming like marketing organizations, promoting services for their own or for others.
The third one is more related to the operation of the CSP itself. They need to be more aware of where they invest, what's their risk and probability of seeing an specific ROI and when will that occur. In short, Big Data and Analytics will make them smarter and more proactive in making the investments. That's another driver that increases their interest in using the data.
Overall they all look to become more proactive, they all realize that data is an asset and is something that you need to keep handy, keep private, and keep secured, but be able to use it for variety of use cases and processes to be ready for the next move.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

I just realized I've stolen a hat from every guy I fucked. Except the last one. Maybe there is hope for me.
Dear drunk me, don't shave my balls til you're sober. My junk looks like a pomeranian with mange.
Most fantastic sex ever until her Doberman took an interest in what we were doing. There was nothing more terrifying then feeling warm dog breath on my ballsack.
i'm considering texting him with "i'm leaving the country for a year, wanna fuck?"
It's kind of sad that your greatest accomplishment today is that you stood up and didn't fall down.
I just got a facebook invite to join a group called "bring back the old franzia spout." i never want our generation to grow up.
I swear to god I'm going to hunt down and stab the next telemarketer that calls from a blocked number while I'm waiting for my STD results...
Ok. Also I almost just threw up. Seriously. I was think to myself "really? Here? Now? At my work desk?" and then it went away.
He yelled "HERE COMES THE WARMTH" before he pissed his pants. In front of the whole party.
I used a physics textbook to prop her up so she wouldn't choke on her vomit...see I have learned something from statics class.
It was so delicious I was introducing it to people. Guy from my psych class was like "This is my girlfriend, Erica," and I was like, "This is my milkshake, Oreo."
the last girl i hooked up with and the last guy i hooked up with are hooking up right now. this is where bisexuality becomes a problem.
My mom can no longer prohibit me from smoking pot..I sell to her boyfriend.
you started crying because you didn't get to wear your rainboots this week so i turned on the shower and let you jump around in it
This is not a drunk text right now. This is an i want your dick text. There is a difference.

Saddened by Paterno scandal at end of life
I opened my mail browser today to find great sadness. Joe Paterno died at 85.
Outside of knowing Joe Paterno was the Penn State coach for like centuries, I only knew his name and never really followed Penn State.
If you ask around, you will find all sorts of Joe Paterno followers. I never was.
I am deeply saddened by his death so soon after the scandal he was linked in.
Sure, I would like every college official who knew about the sexual abuse and dropped the ball to be taken to the carpet. There is a part of me that still wonders if there could not have been a better way and time to bring the scandal in the open. Despite the 85 years he lived, and the many problems he may have had, I wonder how much all of this scandal did to hurry up the time of his death.
I wonder how many who pushed this scandal at this particular time figured that the death of someone was just and good.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- This Saturday and Sunday December 8th and 9th, The Cape Coral Police Department and the US Coast Guard will be at the Walmart Supercenter located at 1619 Del Prado Blvd from 9am-5pm for their annual "Fill the Boat" toy drive.
This is the 6th straight year that the Cape Coral Police Department and US Coast Guard will be running the event. Each year, roughly 2000 toys are collected.
The event in Cape Coral was started by Cape Coral Police Officer (and US Coast Guard Reserve) Matt Squires six years ago. This year the program was in jeopardy because Officer Squires has been called up into active duty by the Coast Guard and is away on orders this year. Not wanting this program to go away, Matt's fellow officers stepped up to continue the event this year.
A US Coast Guard Vessel will be parked outside of the entrance of Walmart and the goal is simple, fill the boat with toys! Purchase a new, unwrapped toy and simply put it in the boat. At the end of the toy drive on Sunday, the toys will be taken to the Cape Coral Police Department where they are then distributed to children in need throughout Cape Coral in time for the holidays.
"We're proud of our partnership with the Coast Guard and the Fill the Boat campaign that benefits this community each year. Last year marked our Ten-Thousandth toy collected and distributed and we're looking to build on this tradition. Cape Coral is both a tremendously generous city as well as a city with many children in need. Come out and support this great event."-Lieutenant Tony Sizemore.

Best Ways To Celebrate Passover 2013 With Kids In Charlotte
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is celebrated March 25 to April 2 this year. The origins of Passover centered around ancient Israel spring celebrations of the first grain harvest and the birth of the first lambs. The multi-faith theme of this holiday is redemption. It is a remembrance of the night when God passed over the homes of the Israelites during the tenth plague and the exodus out of slavery in Egypt to freedom. The focus of Pesach is the Seder. It is a symbolic-rich meal completed in 15 steps that tells the story of God's grace from bondage to freedom. In Charlotte, Passover will be celebrated in homes, community gatherings, temples and churches:

FORT MYERS, FL--Big drops in the state's unemployment rate are translating directly to jobs in southwest Florida. Governor Scott says 200,000 new jobs have come to Florida since he took office and job seekers we met today say the market is a lot better.
Andria Darian was unemployed a couple years ago and was able to find a new job in case management, but is now looking to get back in to psychology.
"I would rather be doing something in my field according to my training," said Darian.
Darian says she's feeling optimistic after Governor Rick Scott said today that Florida's unemployment drop was the second biggest in the country.
"Our economy has created around 200,000 new private sector jobs in the last two years," said Governor Scot (R).
Here in southwest Florida, unemployment is now down to 7.5%, close to the national average, after showing major signs of growth last December.
Compare that to December of 2010, two years ago, when the rate had jumped to 10.8%.
"Businesses are hiring again and the projection for businesses for hiring is very positive now," said Barbara Hartman from Southwest Florida Works.
Businesses like the brand new Market Earth store in downtown Fort Myers.
"Everything we sell here is hand made, fair trade, re-cycled," said store owner Karen Allegretti.
Allegretti moved from Chicago and opened Market Earth just five days ago and today she hired her first employee.
"It only took me five days to learn you cant be a one man band," she said.
Governor Scott also said Florida will be the number one place for job creation and Allegretti says creating her own jobs has been anything but difficult.
"I was expecting more road blocks coming along the way," said Allegretti.
Right now the retail, hospitality and transportation industries are doing a lot of hiring in our area.
Southwest Florida Works also says the inventory industry, managing warehouses and products for companies, will soon take off here.


text: Schakowsky, Dems Invite Al Qaeda-Headed Group to Drone Briefing Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 6 Jan 2014 post a comment Alana Goodman of the Washington Free Beacon reports that three Democrats--Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA)--had invited a "representative of a human rights group headed by a designated al Qaeda terrorist" to brief them on U.S. drone policy late last year. The group, Al Karama, was founded and is currently headed by Abdul Rahman Naimi, who was added to the U.S. Treasury's list of terrorists and Al Qaeda supporters in December, according to Goodman. Other Al Karama officials have suspected terror ties. Mohammad Al Ahmady, the official who was to have briefed the Democrats in question, was denied a visa by the State Department for unspecified reasons, though he blamed President Barack Obama directly: "I curse Obama and the traders of wars," he said in a statement to the Free Beacon. All three Democrats who were to have been briefed have a record of left-wing activism on the war on terror. Rep. Schakowsky, against whom the author ran in 2010, touts herself as a supporter of Israel, yet frequently associates with those hostile to Israel, including Al Karama and former Honduran president Manuel Zelaya.

Panasonic develops DNA-scanning 'lab-on-a-chip'
Boffins at Japanese IT giant Panasonic have been showing off a "lab-on-a-chip" capable of rapidly analysing patient DNA so that doctors can quickly and easily identify disease and prescribe effective medication. The testing chip, developed with Belgium-based research firm IMEC, is less than half the size of a business card and …
Prior Art perhaps
Prior Art
Boy 17 builds DNA testing machine in his bedroom to find out why his brother had ginger hair.
Fred Turner 17 analysed his bothers hair to prove the theory red hair appears in people with a mutated gene in the MC1R protein. He built a polymerase chain reaction machine using an old video player ( possibly Panasonic ) after a similar one was built in the US. It amplifies DNA strands so they can be analysed in a lab.
After the DNA was heated to 95C in a solution then added to an enzyme primer for a two hour cycle.
Ok so it was in Saturdays Daily Mail page 29 but hey he is one clever kid.
Note what's impressive.
It's hours, not days or weeks.
It (can) make detailed DNA analysis routine
Which can include identifying what pharmaceuticals cannot be metabolized by someone (making their prescription completely pointless, of which there are at least 200 known) as well as what chemo drugs could work for cancer treatment.
In fact it could cover any condition for which a large number of drugs exist but but whose performance varies widely on an individual basis.
Thumbs up for (potentially) bringing it out of a rare lab technique and into a routine diagnostic.
Re: Note what's impressive.
and I'll agree. Its a very useful advance in the art of DNA analysis.
Regretfully this may well become...
...analysing patient DNA so that insurance companies can screw you.
Kudos to the inventor, though.
Re: Regretfully this may well become...
"...analysing patient DNA so that insurance companies can screw you."
Then it would be the duty of %Government% to ban such practices from insurance companies, and make sure that results taken using this technology are not used for discriminating their patients.
And it would be %Citizens% duty (our duty) to put pressure on our governments to carry out their duties.
I understand that won't be an easy task, though. :-(
Could also be useful for forensics - PC Plod does a test on the spot rather than arrest someone, bail them and then wait 2 or 3 weeks (or longer) for the results to come back negative.
Good start
Now if they can make it affordable enough for home use they really will have something interesting.
How PCR works
Changing temperatures IS important, but it's a bit more than that. Polymerase Chain Reaction, a key to most modern biotechnology, was invented in the 1980s, and won its somewhat eccentric California surfer-dude inventor (google Mullis) a speedy Nobel Prize as a result.
Most cells duplicate their DNA as they prepare to divide into two, so each resulting daughter cell gets its own full copy of the parental cell's DNA. PCR takes the DNA-copying enzyme from that process, and directs it to work on a specific stretch of DNA to duplicate that same stretch of DNA over and over again. Two short pieces of DNA (20 or so bases long), whose sequences match the DNA sequences at each end of the specific stretch, are included in the reaction to direct amplification solely to that stretch. Exponential growth is the bio-savant's friend in this case, as after the first duplication cycle, twice as many DNA copies of the given stretch are present; after the 2nd cycle 4 times as many copies are present, and so forth.
In theory, after 30 cycles, about 1 thousand million (2^30) times as many copies of the desired stretch of DNA are present, so that DNA from a small sample of hundreds or dozens of cells can be easily amplified, and even DNA from a tiny sample of just a few cells can often be amplified.
But what about changing temperatures? The brilliance of the process is that each step is performed without having to mechanically manipulate the DNA; rather just a temperature change is sufficient:
1) Initially, the temperature is raised to 95C or so to "melt" the DNA duplexes -- to separate the double strands one from the other so that the short DNA fragments and enzyme can access the now single-stranded DNA.
2) Next, the temperature is lowered to "anneal" the short added pieces of DNA to the main strand. These "oligos" will anneal or bind only to the sequence on the main strand that exactly matches their own, typically at temperatures in the range of 50C to 72C.
3) Finally, the temperature is raised a bit, usually to 72C, to allow the DNA-copying enzyme, starting from the end of the annealed oligo, to create a matching second strand for the stretch of interest.
This 3-temperature cycle is then repeated as many times as desired. The Panasonic system seems to take only 18 seconds per cycle, which is quite good; typical large-scale benchtop machines often take a few minutes per cycle. The more important advance represented by this system, though, is the all-in-one nature, able to take an unprocessed biological sample (e.g. the drop of blood) as input and to report SNPs present in that sample within an hour. As there are millions of SNPs throughout the genome, the practical efficiency of this system will depend greatly on how many *different* SNPs can be checked in parallel in a single run of the machine. If only a few or few tens can be checked, that is still useful, but if thousands or more can be checked in a single run, that would be quite impressive.
Re: How PCR works
Pardon my ignorance here (which is why I ask), isn't there a risk of damage to DNA from all this forced replication?
Re: How PCR works
Not so much damage to the DNA (it's tough!) as introducing errors during the replication. When cells replicate their DNA, the error rate is on the order of 1 in 10^9 per replication cycle, so only a few errors per mammal-sized genome. In the simplified PCR process, the error rate is typically on the order of 1 in 10^6 per cycle. As long as you use the *population* of amplified DNA fragments for your downstream analysis, this shouldn't be a problem, as the vast majority of fragments will have the correct, non-mutated base at each position. If instead you pick out a single molecule for analysis (say, by cloning it), there's a real chance you may get unlucky and choose a molecule with a new error in the sequence. Much depends on the total length of the DNA segments amplified, the specific conditions of the reaction, the specific enzyme used, and so forth.

"When greens get so crusty and fast, I just tend to be able to control my stroke better on these quicker putts,'' Goosen said. "I think if I putted on greens like this all year long, I'll enjoy it.''
Goosen finished at 8-under 276 and won for the seventh time on the PGA Tour. It was his second victory at Innisbrook, having won in 2003 when it was played in the fall.
This looked more like June with greens that had patches of brown and developed a yellow sheen going into the weekend.
"It definitely got like Shinnecock,'' he said. "You couldn't hit them soft enough.''
Lehman, who turned 50 two weeks ago, had a one-shot lead going into the final round as he tried to become the first ex-Ryder Cup captain since Tom Watson in 1998 to win on the PGA Tour.
He hit a poor chip on the second hole that led to bogey and cost him the lead. That led to a revolving door of challengers, with five players atop the leaderboard at various points during the final round.
But the back nine was more about hanging on than forging ahead.
And for so many, it was about falling apart.
Steve Stricker rallied from a four-shot deficit to tie for the lead, but he couldn't sustain it. After two solid par saves, he flew the green from a bunker on the par-3 17th for bogey, then missed the green from the middle of the 18th fairway and made another bogey. He closed with a 69 and tied for fourth.
It was the third time this year Stricker had the lead on the back nine and failed to win.
Charlie Wi chipped in twice on the front nine and made the turn with the outright lead, reaching 9 under until he was undone on the par 3s. He shot a 69 and tied for fourth with Stricker and Mathew Goggin (67).
"You ride on such a thin line on a track like this, where you just know every bogey hurts more than most, because you know it's so much harder to make up,'' Howell said.
Divots: Alvaro Quiros had eight drives over 300 yards in the final round, including one at 325 yards when he tried to clear the water on the 12th hole, and barely did. It didn't help on the card, though. He closed with a 72. ... A sign hanging from the bleachers behind the 17th green said, "We miss you JD. Get back soon.'' That would be John Daly, who was seen having a few beers and signing autographs next to the 17th green after missing the cut last year. He is serving a six-month suspension.

Columbia River Ed Halligan K.I.S.S. ASSist Assisted Opener
Columbia River Knife and Tool has sold many, many KISS (Keep It Super Simple) knives designed by Ed Halligan since they started years ago. They have just released a great version with an assisted opening mechanism. This series is still small and simple, but they have a great mechanism. Try one out! They're remarkable. You can see the series at www.knifecenter.com

Carson M-4 Assisted Opening Pocket Knives – All Models Available
We are proud to announce that Columbia River Knife and Tool has delivered to us the great Carson Designed M-4 assisted opening pocketknife with all three handles. We now have this great folding pocketknife in Stag, Wood and White Bone.
Kit Carson is a remarkable custom knife maker who has some of the world's greatest pocketknife designs to his credit. The Columbia River Knife and Tool M-16 folding combat knife is one of the best selling knives of all time. Columbia River has also released the M-04 series and we think it is more of the gentleman's folding knife than the M-16, but they are all well designed and well made.

Introducing the Columbia River Delegate
Introducing the Columbia River Delegate
Usually, assisted opening knives go for the cool tactical look. They are designed to snap open and scare away any potential attackers. But the same design also scares the average civilian. The Delegate from Columbia River is an assisted knife that won't scare the neighbors, or the maître d' at that nice French restaurant you like to go to. The sleek and simple design when closed is attractive, and the drop point blade is utilitarian and non-threatening. The handles feature either cocobolo wood scales for the black blade model, or white bone scales for the satin blade model, which really add to the classy quality that this knife has going for it.
However, the Delegate isn't just about looks. Despite its non-threatening appearance, the blade is razor sharp, and the assisted open action snaps the blade open with authority.

Get a Premonition From Columbia River
New Gerry McGinnis Premonition from Columbia River
We are having a premonition… That you will love this knife! The Premonition is the latest pocket knife from Columbia River's boy wonder, Gerry McGinnis, who is producing a plethora of pocketknives while completing an engineering degree at North Carolina State University. The Premonition follows Mr. McGinnis' trend of flipper opening knives, which allows for assisted-fast opening without the weight or potential legal issues of the assisted mechanism. When opened, the flipper also acts as finger guard. The opening speed is perfectly complemented by a thin, sleek design, light weight, and great balance. The black and blue G-10 handles round everything off.
How can we offer all of this starting at $28.95? You'll just have to check your crystal ball.

Particularly great for neck knives, the Biotac allows you to position your knife comfortably in six basic inverted positions, and it is fully adjustable so that you can position it the way you like. The Biotac requires a positive locking sheath, with a snap or detent to hold the knife securely, because of the inverted carry. It works great for both open and concealed carry.

Columbia River's Tribute to the Godfather of the Guild
Columbia River's Tribute to the Godfather of the Guild
Frank Centofante started making pocket knives in 1970. A year later he became a member of the Knifemaker's Guild, and has since served on the board of directors for 20 years, including 8 years as the President of the Knifemaker's Guild. His prowess at knifemaking has resulted in his being called the Godfather of the Knifemakers Guild. Unfortunately, Frank Centofante passed away in September of 2009. Before he passed, however, he designed one last collaborative effort with Columbia River. In honor of his memory, Columbia River chose to call his final collaborative knife the Centofante Tribute.
The Centofante Tribute comes in two different models. The Tribute has a 3.125″ blade, while the Tribute 2 has a 2.875″ blade. The design is simplicity and elegance. The slender spear point blade is opened with a classic nail nick, and is complemented by a red wood patterned Micarta handle. The lockback locking mechanism allows the handle of the knife the be extremely thin, just a little bit over a quarter of an inch at its thickest. The result is a thin, light blade that would go well with a suit, but is also capable of anything you might need your every day carry knife for. All of this for under $30.00.

Ken Onion's Eros Gentleman's Folding Knives
Ken Onion's Eros Gentleman's Folding Knives
Ken Onion is famous for the assisted opening knives he developed for Kershaw over a ten year period. Now that he has moved on from Kershaw to Columbia River, he also seems to have moved on from assisted openers. Not to worry, fans of fast opening knives, his new CRKT Eros folder opens just as fast-if not quicker. The secret to Ken's new speedy folders is the bearings that the blade floats on-the official name is IKBS-that allow it to open like its on roller skates! CRKT is so proud of these knives that they are serial numbering them.

45-minute dinner recipes?
- leanneabe Aug 13, 2007 01:18 PM
In an attempt to get more exercise without sacrificing too much time out of the day, we added a nice elliptical machine to our home. It's in front of the tv AND air conditioning unit so we can stay cool and also go through the piles of shows on the DVR. My workouts are typically 45 minutes. However, this means that, if I get home by 5:30 (which is very optimistic) and workout when I get home, this means I'm not off until about 6:30 at which time I can start dinner. So, then we don't eat until 7-7:30 and after cleaning we're at 8:30.
The solution is not to wake up early for a workout. It just won't happen.
I have a lot of dinner meals that can be made in 30-40 minutes, but they all require kitchen supervision. What I want is something I can prep in the morning or when I get home from work and then toss into the oven for at least 45 minutes and not have check on it, flip something, stir or add. I found a recipe for braised chicked that takes 45 minutes in the oven. It takes some prep work beforehand, but I can leave it along for 45 minutes and then take it out and finish dinner. Cooking for an hour would be fine, too, but preferably not a slow roast that takes 2 hours in the oven.
Please don't suggest pressure cooker recipes, as I just don't want to go that route right now. Fridge to prep to oven to table - what recipes do you have?
What about a roast chicken - we do ours at v. high heat and it takes about 50 minutes. Only catch is that we cook it at 500-550 for 20 minutes, and then turn the oven down to 425, so you'd have to get off the machine to do that! You could prep the chicken in the morning, then stick it in the oven when you get home, and get on the machine after the 20 minutes.
re: LindaWhit
Meat Loaf and baked potatoes take little prep and take 45 mins. Meatloaf can be completely prepared and in the fridge, throw together a salad before the workout, and maybe some veggies in the m/w after, which takes all of 3 mins.
spaghetti squash is great for this, however, I do cook the sauce/topping on the stovetop towards the end- so if you're willing to cook for 15 minutes after the workout it's great.
also, thinly sliced chicken, turkey cutlets, & pork work. and of course fish- I just made a great salmon that I frequent, and added veggies & potatoes right into the dish this time.
Hmmmm. You sound a lot like me!! I go the meatloaf route somewhat often. Stuffed pasta is another option--lasagna, manicotti, whatever. I make enchiladas in advance as well. I make the sauce the night before and store in tupperware. I also poach the chicken and complete the filling with shredded cheese, seasonings, etc. You can then quickly roll and toss in the oven after your workout on a higher temp for 20 minutes or so, or lower temp for 45 minutes. Or how about a pork loin cooked with roasted potatoes?
re: jules127
I can see meatloaf, lasagna, and enchiladas working well... hey, if I roast a chicken one night I can use leftover meat for enchiladas the next night!
What about preparing the meal 90% and then cooking your protein at the last minute? E.g:
- flank steak with tabouleh and grilled veggies - won't take more than 10 min to cook the steak, but you could prepare everything else & marinate the steak while working out
- Mexican - same idea, prepare the salsa/guac/etc, then just cook up your protein
We go to the gym two nights a week after work and before dinner and it's hard to eat before 8 unless you're organized. Luckily we're only cooking for two.
How do you feel about leftovers? We try to cook one meal on weekends that will be almost as good reheated during the week. Meat balls, bolognese sauce, chili and beef stew are favorites and all are great with a salad and some crusty bread. If you are a microwave user, lots of casserole dishes reheat well, especially rice based dishes and enchiladas And for fall back micro wave baked potatoes and a steak on the barbie.or grille pan is nice in the summer when you don't feel like making a stew.
re: ginnyhw
Our leftovers tend to becomes lunches the next day. We may get into the habit of making a double portion so we have some to freeze for later. If it was up to me, cereal would become a good dinner after the workout, but then I'd feel guilty about not cooking a proper meal. Oddly enough, if left to my boyfriend, cereal and canned soup would be perfect dinners for him.
1) Pasta sauces - depending on the sauce - freeze well. All you have left to make is the pasta.
2) Make garlic butter and freeze in usable portions. Usable in a bunch of recipes. I like to roast my garlic.
3) Bean soups with pre-cooked beans. Cook and the rice, and voila! A rice cooker will take the trouble out of watching the rice.
Baked rice takes an hour:
You could add veggies right to the rice, or layer chicken pieces or porkchops on top of it and bake it all together.
Any casserole could bake for 45 minutes just fine. Roasted potatoes take about 45 minutes, I like to stir them halfway through, but you wouldn't have to. Lots of veggies could be roasted at a lower temp for that long. Then just quick saute your protein at the end.
For some vegetables, I make roasted cauliflower, brussels sprouts, baby carrots and red onion. I often cut them up the night before so that when I get home, I just toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper, and then roast in the oven for about 45-60 minutes.
One of the few things I've bought from an infomercial saves the day for us all the time - the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie. As sick as I get of hearing the line, "Set it and forget it," it honestly does work that way. A chicken, a pork roast, ribs, even a standing beef rib roast - season it, stick it on the rod, turn the machine on to the right cooking time, and you don't have to think about it. After you're through exercising, you've got a roast something-or-other waiting for you and all you have to do is toss a salad. Granted, the machine takes up some room. Ours is on top of the stacked washer/dryer in our kitchen and we have to use a stepstool to get it down and put it back, but that minor inconvenience is far outweighed by the easy dinners that come out of that machine.
re: Deenso
I try not to add more "gadgets" to my kitchen, as it's already very full - juicer, ice cream machine, rice cooker, bread machine, mixer, blender, food processor, 2 crockpots, and 2 fondue pots. But I did remember that my oven has a convection setting, which I used last night to roast a chicken. In 45 minutes! So I will probably be trying that with a pork roast, too.
re: Megiac
Also, a lot of her pasta sauce recipes can be left to simmer on low for 40-45 minutes.
re: TerriL
Why wouldn't I believe it? CI does a pretty good job for the things they do. If you like the way a recipes seems like it should turn out, you're likely to enjoy the recipe....they test it a lot.
Their lasagna recipes are excellent and could be prepped in advance and tossed in the oven during a 45 minute workout. Add a salad and you've got a quick meal.
re: TerriL
But are they 30-minute leave-it-alone recipes or more meals that you can put together in 30 minutes if you spend that time in the kitchen?
re: leanneabe
I think they are designed to be 30-minutes start to finish.
1 cup homemade or canned vegetable stock
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon nonhydrogenated margarine
Pinch each: dried rosemary and thyme, and ground nutmeg
4 large Vidalia or pure white onions
Wheat germ or Bread Crumbs for topping
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all the ingredients except the last 2 in a small sauce pan. Heat gently, stirring, until the margarine and honey are smoothly blended. Remove from the heat.
Peel the outer skin from the onions and cut them in half crosswise. Cut a thin sliver from the bottom of each onion half, so that they will stand steadily in a baking dish. Arrange the onions halves in a shallow baking dish and pour the mixture from the saucepan evenly over them.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the onions are tender when pierced with a fork. Once or twice during this time, spoon some of the liquid from the bottom of the baking dish over the onions.
Sprinkle the onions with wheat germ or bread crumbs and bake, uncovered, for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Preheat oven to 375F ~ Baking Time: 1hr
Arrange in shallow covered baking dish:
Prep a 3lb. fryer, cut up (or 3 lbs. of your favourite chicken part) and spread in a baking dish
Combine and microwave for 1 minute:
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup honey
2 Tbsp. prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. tarragon
Stir thoroughly and pour over chicken. Bake 1 hour, turning and basting, until chicken is tender and nicely browned
1 Tbsp. caraway seeds
1 9" pastry shell
8 oz. pastrami, shredded
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
3/4 cup sauerkraut, drained
2 cups Swiss cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup cream
1 Tbsp. onion, grated
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
Preheat oven to 375F. Sprinkle caraway seeds over pie crust. Prick crust and bake for 7 minutes. Fill pie shell with pastrami. Spread mustard over meat; top with sauerkraut and cheese. Mix together eggs, cream, onion and dry mustard. Pour into pie shell and bake for 45 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting.
Not a 45 minutes dish, but so easy and pretty darn good
Prep this Sausage Filo Bake ahead of time or days ahead and freeze ... http://busycooks.about.com/od/sausage...
A few other ideas...
re: Emme
It sounds like a lot of people have this same dilemna.
I assume as you are working on your eliptical you are trying to eat healthy as well as quick and easy. Here is my solution.
I have a steamer which I use almost every day. Very healthy way to eat. I had the small one for a few years and just recently upgraded to the larger stacked version.
I put two chicken breasts (for two people) in the bottom and my favourite part is they can even be frozen solid - just adjust the cooking time a bit. I throw carrots in the top. If you want a starch you can tuck them in around the rice bowl filled with your water and rice or toss some baby potatoes in with the carrots. As I am trying to lose a couple of pounds I don't do this for now but it does work. I buy bags of washed organic spinach and put it beside the steamer. Dial the timer to 45 minutes and hop on my elliptical. When the bell rings I am done my exercise. I stuff the spinach on top of the chicken breasts and reset the timer to 7 minutes. Run upstairs for a quick shower and DING - dinner is ready. The great thing is that if I am in the show too long the meal stops cooking. The timer turns the steamer off and my dinner sits there over the hot steamy water staying warm and moist waiting for me to finish my shower.
A very healthy meal with no added fats! Now after a week or so of steamed chicken breast it can get a little dull - no really. Anyhow, to spice it up I will "garnish" with flavour. Soy sauce, hot sauce, chutney, pesto, chili powder, garlic, fresh ginger, red pepper, curry, even orange marmalade. Take your pick. I cube up the hot steamy cooked chicken and toss it in a bowl with just a bit of something and it changes the whole meal instantly. I have also steamed corn on the cob, asparagus, bell peppers, beet greens, chard, green/yellow beans, the list is endless! Good luck with your new exercise committment.
I say learn to love your broiler and your steamer. Meals should take only minutes, be creative with sauces or continments. Get your meal ready before your workout, then turn on and broil nice piece of fish or thin chicken breast, organic sausage and Steam some vegies. I saute vegies often in different things (I love Braggs liquid amino, find in a health food store) and then sprinkle spike seasoning and a little cheese. It's a meal in itself over nice brown rice. To help with your weight loss, you should be eating 5 small meals anyway, rather then a big meal so keep it light. Have a small bowl of rice and some vegies and light dip one night.
