KOCHI: Kerala on Tuesday beat Maharashtra 3-1 to reach the semifinal stage of the 66th National Football Championship for Santosh Trophy being played in Odisha.
The state, in the semifinal after six years, will on Friday take on the winners of a Group C quarterfinal match between Odisha and Services. The match is slated for Wednesday. "While Odisha can still qualify if they win on Wednesday, we expect to face Services in the semifinal. They are a strong team, and have defeated Chhattisgarh 6-0 on Monday. We have to be at our best, and crucially, convert the chances to progress further," said M M Jacob, Kerala coach.
Striker Kannan R, an employee of AG office in Thiruvananthapuram, starred in the win, striking twice in the second half to see the side through. The match was level at 1-1 at half-time with Kerala's V V Surjith having cancelled out Kailash Patil's early penalty for Maharashtra.
For Jacob and his assistant P K Rajeev, Tuesday's win was sweet revenge. The duo was left disappointed on the sidelines when Maharashtra ousted Kerala by a solitary goal (scored by a Malayali, Mohammed Najeeb) in the 2000 final.
"This win over Maharashtra is extremely sweet for us because of what had happened in 2000. But personally, there is another bad memory. In 1994, when I was the assistant coach of the Kerala side, we lost the final at this very same ground in Barabati to Bengal on penalties. Hopefully, this time, my boys can set that record straight for me as well," Jacob said.
Manipur, who beat Goa 2-0 on Tuesday in their final quarterfinal group match, will face either Tamil Nadu or Railways in the other semifinal.
Kerala have won the Santosh Trophy in 1974, 1992, 1993, 2001 and 2004.
Kerala's first D/N ODI in Kochi
KOCHI: Kerala's first day and night one-day international cricket match will be played between England and India in Kochi's Jawaharlal Nehru stadium on January 15 next year. Kochi will host the second of the five-match ODI series between the two countries, according the schedule released by the England and Wales Cricket Board. Though Kochi has hosted seven ODI matches so far, all matches have been day affairs. But with Kochi successfully hosting IPL day and night matches last year, BCCI decided to allot the city a day and night match.

the weather has been too cold to paint anything so i started to clean up a couple kits and get them ready to paint...while the new little guy sleeps. this kit demands a little patience and is a little fiddley. the engine is very unrealistic so i cut everything off the front and am going to use a water pump assembley from a hemi...not exact but better than it was. the intake also sucks so i cut the injectors off and moved them out and added some groves to the middle. i also didnt like the headers so i made some new ones form solder. the radiator had an ejector mark in the middle of it so i cut some screen to put over it. i also thought the front end needed something so i cut it a little and added an electric razor screen. tires and rear wheels are from amt and front wheels are from the 41 willys kit. i also added to the roll cage to provide a mounting point for the racing harnesses. here is a little mockup

Donna Corrado, PhD |
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio appointed NYAM Fellow Donna M. Corrado, PhD as Commissioner of the NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA) on February 18, 2014. Previously, Dr. Corrado was the Executive Director at Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services Inc. (CCNS), an affiliate of Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens.
The Department for the Aging is a partner of NYAM's Age-friendly NYC partnership with the Mayor's Office and the New York City Council.
"Baby boomers are one of the city's fastest growing and ever-evolving populations. As a result, we must maintain, expand, and build upon the good work of the existing 50+ different city-wide Age-friendly initiatives that are valuable resources for older New Yorkers," said Dr. Corrado. "We support the work of NYAM and look forward to our continued partnership with the Age-friendly NYC initiative."
As Commissioner, Dr. Corrado also aims to strengthen the DFTA service network for low-income seniors; educate, inform, and familiarize all New York City seniors around the changes in the health care system; develop additional programming for older New Yorkers; and provide support for caregivers.
She is also passionate about the need for social workers to be actively included in the current health care reform discussions that are changing the face of health care throughout the country.
"I think the voice of social workers in the medical establishment as a whole has been subdued," she said. "The fact that NYAM makes a concerted effort to bring social workers to the table and have an actual committee of social work fellows is to their credit."
Dr. Corrado became a NYAM Fellow in 2005 and has been active in the Section on Social Work. The section hosts several events each year including Film Night, Student Night, lectures, and panel discussions that address a variety of issues related to the social work profession and health care.

Well, I believe "them." Today, I've had nothing but CRAP (nutrition-wise) to eat, and I'm sure feeling it! It's not helping that my dad wanted to go for pizza, but hey, at least the girl at the pizza parlor was cute...
I saw Harry Potter today! YEAH! :D I loooove the Harry Potter series. I have ever since fourth grade. Oh, and whoever it was here that said that Hermione was hot in this movie was TOTALLY right!
Also, today my friend hit me in the kidney. ;__; Well, to be fair, I did accidentally knock off his glasses... Still, OWWWW! :(
But I'm really sad... See, there's a family of foxes that live around my town. They're so precious; everyone loves to watch them. Well, except for this old bastard who tried to shoot the daddy even when he wasn't even doing anything to his property... Anyway, today on my way home, I passed some roadkill. That isn't an unusual sight around here, unfortunately. But today, it was a little baby fox. :( Aww, I felt so horrible! The poor little thing was so young. It used to play outside my grandparents' house. D:
RIP little baby fox.
hey! Those are my cousins he's shooting at. I i think.
I could be wrong though. What color are they?
Orange. They're pretty much your run-of-the-mill, basic orange fox.
Oh. Sweet. Im not so sure what color I am (foxes arn't good with mirrors) but that sounds like them alright. ;D

DUXBURY - Vermont State Police say Harwood Union High School was vandalized Tuesday night.
State police say someone broke into the school, damaged plumbing and clogged several drains, causing parts of the school to flood. The school is closed today for cleanup and state police say the incident is under investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact state police at the Middlesex barracks at 229-9191.
Because of the flooding, there will be no athletic events hosted at the school today. According to an email from Sue Duprat, athletic director at Harwood, girls and boys lacrosse practice has been canceled, the track meet has been moved to U-32, with a bus leaving from Harwood at 2:30 p.m. and the junior varsity home game might be moved to Peoples Academy, but Duprat said that is still to be determined.
All away matches, such as girls and boys tennis and golf have not changed and softball practice is still on at Dac Rowe Fields.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermonts state auditor is asking lawmakers to beef up the information consumers can...

Cuts (out takes, rushes) for story in Colour Pictorial - CP 708. The original story is also on Pathe Master Tape *PM0451*.
Cuts for story THE LAND OF FAIRY TALES in CP 708. Mostly similar footage to the cut story showing the sights and delights of Denmark; more footage of people having fun on the lakes. A different sequence shows a sculpture of a man (?) sleeping (or dead?!) with a night-cap on - could be something to do with Hans Christian Andersen? More shots in Odense and Legoland.
Different shots of the Danish countryside, very green and lush. Various shots of boats in a harbour and sailing on the water; a fishing boat and a liner or ferry (seems to be called 'Winston Churchill') are seen going by. On a farm (?) a little boy sits on a tractor and pretends to drive it. Several shots of building work on two huge columns beside the water. In some kind of stage show before a large crowd, a girl contortionist bends backwards with a flower in her mouth; a couple do balancing tricks - she stands on her hands on the man's head.

Iraq and Afghanistan: America's invisible wars
After seven years in Iraq and nine in Afghanistan, residents of York, Pa., talk about how the wars have become like a screen saver: always there but rarely acknowledged.
Mary Knox Merrill/Staff
York, Pa.
Standing in Continental Square in this southern Pennsylvania town in the early 1940s, it wouldn't have taken long to divine the subject foremost in the minds of the citizenry.
You would have seen young men in olive-drab uniforms trudging up from the train station, looking for something to do to kill the few hours of their layover. Many of them would have dropped by the USO post in the square, where they would have been directed to an old schoolhouse over on Beaver Street to grab a bite to eat, play board games, and, if they stayed long enough, enjoy a dance with a pretty local girl.
Elsewhere in the square, you would have spied residents standing in line at a small booth to buy US war bonds. In the windows of all the shops and the big department stores – Bear's, Wiest's, and Bon-Ton – you would have seen large posters drumming up support for the war effort or darkly warning about staying on the lookout for Nazi spies.
IN PICTURES: York, Pa., reflects on the wars
If you had hung around long enough, no doubt you would have been swept up by community campaigns to collect scrap metal or tires for the defense industry. You would have heard boastful references to "the York Plan," a civic initiative that brought local manufacturers together to win huge armament contracts. And certainly there would have been some grumbling as well – about gas rationing and the dearth of ladies' stockings, a consequence of silk being siphoned off to make parachutes.
World War II, in other words, was inescapably Topic A – and probably every other letter of the alphabet as well – in York as it was in every other small town or big city in America in those days.

With spring spreading like a bag of spilled gravy, now is the ideal time to throw open the windows and get home and lawncare projects underway. Reclaim the yard from winter's occupation with Adams Adirondack stacking chairs ($14.99 each) and an Ace Flexogen 50-foot garden hose ($19.99). Illuminate outdoor living spaces with a 6-pack of Solar Walk Lights ($12.99) or the welcoming blaze inside a Living Accents portable firepit ($29.99). Ace also covers indoor bases with products and services for tree-free areas of the home. If you need to match paint to a favorite coverlet or choose a hue that complements a pleather recliner, each store offers a paint-matching service free of charge.
Green Works Lawn and Leaf lavishes yards with natural, organic, and sustainable TLC. To conserve fuel and avoid noise pollution, owner Drew Hojnacki favors rakes over leaf blowers, shovels over snow blowers, and garden hoes over Roomba rototillers. Aeration ($35–$50, depending on lot size) loosens uptight dirt, and an application of OMRI organic fertilizer ($35–$50) feeds hungry turf and soil without environmental-indigestion-causing chemicals. Untidy terraces opt for a general cleanup ($65–$150), and shrubs seek out a pruning ($10–$30 per shrub) before an important interview or after a bad break-up.

(Layne Murdoch/Getty Images)Free-agent guard Carlos Delfino and the Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a two-year, $6.5 million contract, Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reported Sunday evening. Wojnarowski reported that the contract includes a team option for a third year that would bring the contract's total value to around $10 million.Delfino serves as a premier threat from beyond the 3-point line. He averaged a career-high 2.4 3-pointers per game last season in just more than 25 minutes per game with the Houston Rockets. He shot 37.5 percent from beyond the arc last season and is a 36.5 percent career 3-point shooter.Delfino will look to replace the production of Mike Dunleavy, who signed with the Chicago Bulls last week. He'll join free-agent guard O.J. Mayo as the Bucks' prominent acquisitions. The Bucks are also expected to match any offer sheets to the restricted free-agent point guard Brandon Jennings. Last season with the Rockets, Delfino averaged 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists. He previously played for the Bucks from 2009-12. Promoted Stories Comments

Japanese Art. The spectacular exhibit Japanese Art From the Colorado Collection of Kimiko and John Powers is installed in the Gallagher Family Gallery of the Denver Art Museum's new Hamilton Building. It was put together by Ron Otsuka, the esteemed curator of Asian art who has built an important collection during his thirty-plus years at the institution. Decades ago, Otsuka established a friendship with the Powerses, which is why they put their collection of more than 300 Japanese masterworks on long-term loan with the DAM. It's from this hoard that Otsuka chose the more than 100 objects he included in Japanese Art. As collectors, the Powerses were old-fashioned connoisseurs who chose things based on their innate fineness. "They were certainly very selective," says Otsuka in something of an understatement, considering the high quality of these pieces. The Powerses, who are also known for their stunning modern-art collection, sought out Japanese works of art that anticipate modernism despite that fact that they are hundreds of years old. Through September 9 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000. Reviewed January 25.
(New) Disasters of War. The title of this exhibition organized by Simon Zalkind refers to etchings done in the early nineteenth century by Goya titled "Desastres de la Guerra," or "Disasters of War." Goya depicted the tragedies associated with the occupation of Spain by Napoleon's French troops; Zalkind invited artists to create work in response to these etchings and sent each a copy of Goya's "Disasters" to use as a reference for their own work -- and with a handful of exceptions, they did. The resulting pieces fall into various categories, though everything is essentially representational. Contemporary realism predominates, and some of the great painters working in that style here are featured, including John Hull, Jerry Kunkel and Margaretta Gilboy. Also intriguing are figural abstractions by Bill Stockman, Steve Altman and Margaret Neumann, while Enrique Chagoya and Eric Zimmer make pieces that look like comics. Some of the best things are the photos, notably those by Edie Winograde and Jimmy Sellars. Using Goya to inspire new anti-war pieces is a timely topic, given the ongoing events in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through April 6 at the Singer Gallery, Mizel Center, 350 South Dahlia Street, 303-316-6360. Reviewed February 22.
RADAR. With its outlandish appearance, the Denver Art Museum's new Frederic C. Hamilton Building has overshadowed what's on display inside. There are a few exceptions to this, and first among them is RADAR: Selections From the Collection of Vicki & Kent Logan, installed in the Anschutz Gallery on the second level. Put together by Dianne Vanderlip, the outgoing curator of the Modern and Contemporary Art department, RADAR includes sections on the cutting edge in Asia, Europe and America. Many of the works were donated by the Logans, who live in Vail and are among the most important collectors of contemporary art in the country -- and, in recent years, among the DAM's most significant donors, having given as gifts over 200 works of art and promised hundreds more. Some of the biggest names in international art are in the show, among them Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Zhang Huan, Damien Hirst, Jenny Saville, Michel Majerus, Neo Rauch, Carroll Dunham, Kiki Smith, George Condo and Fred Tomaselli, all represented by major works. An absolute must-see. Through July 15 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000. Reviewed December 28, 2006.
Residual Memory. To come up with this show, Arvada Center exhibition director Jerry Gilmore invited photo-based artist Jimmy Sellars to show alongside ceramics whiz Marie E.v.B. Gibbons; both are longtime habitués of the Denver art scene. Having the center's capacious Lower Galleries at their disposal encouraged the two to soar, and they each created impressive new bodies of work expressly for this do-not-miss exhibition. For several years, Sellars has been using G.I. Joe action figures to stand in for human models in his digitally based photographs. In the pieces he created for Residual Memory, Sellars used the figures to refer to his own memories. Gibbons is a talented ceramics artist who is especially good at surfaces, using a variety of techniques to achieve them. Each of the three Gibbons spaces has been conceived as an installation, with two of them anchored by bathtubs meant to reinforce her water theme. All of the sculptures are part of her "My Ocean" series, which refers to her childhood love of the sea. Through April 1 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Boulevard, 720-898-7200. Reviewed March 15.

2009 Mitsubishi Galant ES
ProsGood steering feel, modest power, modest looks ConsTerrible interior
A Decent Car But Some Real Flaws — The 2009 Mitsubishi Galant is the first Mitsubishi car I've driven since the other two are SUVs. The car isn't very common in Canada even though its Japanese, much more rare compared to the common Altima, Mazda 6, Camry and Accord. After finally getting to drive I got a better understanding why it hasn't quite caught on. To drive the Galant actually isn't a bad car. The 4-cylinder provides constant power throughout the whole range so power wasn't an issue. In terms of steering it is rather heavy compared to every other car in this segment, this I actually like. The handling doesn't quite connect with the steering so I didn't find this portion that good. Inside is really where the Galant falls flat. Its just overall unappealing, there's some fake wood which doesn't match with the black cheap plastic. The center console has the tin foil plastic that makes several cars look unappealing. Compared to its Japanese competition this interior is just too cheap looking. Another problem, the Mazda 6 has better driving dynamics along with a better interior meaning the Galant will only looks somewhat attractive if its very cheap. If Mitsubishi fix the interior and improve the handling then this car will be more than a match for the great selling Camry and Accords.

Good Reliable Family Car — This is a very good car for the price. It is not fancy. Did not come with a lot of fancy upgrades. For the price it is a good, solid, reliable car. I really like it. It has a roomy trunk and passenger compartment. Primary Use: Family transportation |

ProsMore power than a 2008 Chevy Malibu ConsNot a Subaru.
Better Than 2008 Chevy Malibu — It was definitely not a Subaru, but it was definitely nicer than the 2008 Chevy Malibu that I drove. There are many cars that I would recommend over this one, but all it all it wasn't a terrible car. It just was not a stellar one either. |

The first fat-bike race in the Edmonton river valley let Caitlin Callaghan feel like a kid again. Riding on the bikes with the super fat, seven- to 12-centimetre tires feels like riding on an air mattress, an inflated tire tube or a bouncy castle. At least, that's according to fattie fans who have already developed appropriate calluses on their butt cheeks and sit bones, not to mention the numbness that comes from riding in the cold. The number of fat-bike enthusiasts is growing, with more adults commuting on fat bikes year-round rather than basic mountain bikes. The wider, softer tires give added stability and allow riders to float over compact snow or gnarly dirt paths in nicer weather.
Liberal leader Raj Sherman will resign his position this morning, and will not seek re-election, sources close to the party say.

Does anyone know if AUD 2009 supports Citrix?
If so, is anyone running AUD in that environment?
what are the PROs adn CONs?
We are currently running AUD 2009 on XP and are fast running out of time and am trying to look for other environments that will support it. WIN 7 64bit is our company new OS.
Open to suggestions.
AUD 2009 is not supported to run in a Citrix environment. I've not heard whether anyone has attempted this.
Hey Vito,
I have never tried AUD2009 in a Citrix environment,
but I do run it using both Windows Virtual PC and VMware on a windows 7 64 bit laptop with no problems.
the advice I have for running this is to have a lot of ram (6 gigs) on the pc, the more ram the faster
everything runs.

Inactive, nonfeeding stage in the life of insects that undergo complete metamorphosis. In a protective covering (cocoon or chrysalis), the larva is transformed into an adult. During pupation, a process controlled by hormones, larval structures break down and adult structures form; wings appear for the first time. The adult emerges either by splitting the pupal skin and chewing its way out or by secreting a fluid that softens the cocoon.

Found the solution! Through the recovery discs, I installed the Sony Shared Library. The system now has all the functionality I had hoped for. This thread is now solved.
I found the information in Sony Vaio "FN" Keys - Page 10 It's all 64-bit, and no, there is no choice. The laptop comes with 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium, so all the software and drivers provided are also 64-bit. The only choices I have are Windows 7 64-bit or Windows XP (which I assume are the x86/32-bit versions). |

Great work, Mike! This will help many others.
Have you figured out what Sony Shared Library is exactly? Possibly includes .dll files needed to enable various functions in the various apps when installed individually? |
My System Specs |
26 Apr 2012 | #13 |
Sony Shared Library: It provides more functionality to VAIO applications by enabling those applications to send commands to affect the hardware of the system.
The above is the simple explanation. Basically, what the shared library does is provides an interface between VAIO applications and the device drivers so commands can be passed to the drivers to affect the hardware. Most laptops have this ability through the combination of the Function (Fn) key and the F keys at the top of the keyboard. VAIO also provides specific power management to systems for special thermal control and additional functionality for added hardware like my keyboard backlight. I also have a light sensor that gives power management for my screen brightness and whether to turn that backlight on. As a robotics engineer, autonomous functionality like this is pretty cool! |

This is a happy ending that reminds me of one epic thread which didn't end as well. It is also the only other discussion I can recall of OEM software refusing to work correctly when following carefully the recommended steps to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 .
I wonder if some acilliary software could have helped Nicole get her Samsung touchpad gestures and cam features working correctly. Samsung kept telling her she needed the software off of the Recovery partition she'd deleted instead of what they had posted on her model's downloads page, and they wanted her to pay for reloading it on her HD again! Nicole fought a long valiant battle made especially frustrating due to an atrocious Samsung "Tech Support" parody troupe heckling her efforts. They were rewarded with a top Google search result which documents the whole ugly episode: New laptop, changing partition disks? |

Using music by the likes of Ludacris and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to attract young people's attention, "Live Earth" aims "to have people make changes in their own lives," says Yusef Robb, global coordinator for the concerts. "When people change, corporations and leaders follow."
Critics, such as Roger Daltrey, former lead singer for "The Who," and Bob Geldof, the original global-gig guru, have said that the last thing the world's climate needs is a yeti-sized carbon footprint left by rock stars jetting to venues that will tap megawatts of electricity for lighting and sound systems.
"Live Earth" planners counter that they have deployed "sustainability engineers" at all the venues to make them as green as possible, from using recycled toilet paper to LED lights. And they say that hundreds of millions of people are not aware enough of global warming's threat.
Certainly the Turks do not appear overly concerned. Plans for a concert in Istanbul had to be scratched because "nobody is interested," complained Cengizhan Yeldan, the frustrated promoter.
In China, No. 13 on green issues list
In China, which is about to overtake the United States as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, climate change came 13th on a list of 14 environmental concerns in an opinion poll last year, way behind food safety and air pollution. "The sense of urgency is still not so big as in other countries," says Ma Jun, head of the Institute for Environmental and Public Affairs, a Beijing think tank, "because here air and water pollution threaten people's health directly every day."
When Hu Xin, an environmentalist, returned home recently from studying in Sweden to take the helm of "Global Village," a prominent NGO in Beijing, he says he found "hardly anybody (on the staff) who knew enough about climate change to conduct change-related projects."

Every season begins with the feeling similar to when I was a child going back to school. The anticipation, the planning, the hopes, the new costumes... umm, err, clothes.
This season, I'm proud to announce we'll be doing three amazing plays. Like a school year, they'll run the gauntlet of emotions, hopefully always being popular!
Opening the season is the cult hit Hedwig And The Angry Inch by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask starring Ryan Alexander McDonald as Hedwig and featuring Lee McKeown as Yitzhak. We received seven CTC Award Nominations for our production last season including Best Actor and Best Production.
Later this year, we'll be announcing two more amazing productions which will hit the stage in spring 2015.
Looking forward to seeing you at the shows for season six of Ghost Light Projects!

There is a reason "being able to fly" is one of the top most wanted super powers. We love the feeling of freedom, to be able to look down on everything and everyone. But you don't have to get all the way to the clouds to take the picture. A few stories above ground is good enough. Look up, find a spot and get up there.
The picture of the taxi is actually from the same place as the very first picture in this blog. A rooftop cinema, set up for that night. I pushed the magenta colors a lot, actually by accident, during the post production. Suddenly I got the exact same feeling as when I hung over the top of that roof. I kept that feeling.
Do you have a picture taken from above to show?
I've been to a lot of places. I've met a lot of people. I've had amazing experiences. I've done stupid things. But the thing i love the most is to tell other people about what i lived and learned. A trip is just a trip. When you share what you've been through, it becomes an adventure.

Wrecking People's Stuff
The bad behavior: In 10 years as a preschool teacher and many more invested in raising three boys of her own, Penny Luse of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has seen more than her share of toppled block towers. "Every year we have this problem," she says. "There's just something about a tower someone else has been working on that some kids can't resist." A destructive streak can extend far beyond block towers to include things like just-picked-up toys, alphabetically arranged CDs, and even the apples in the fruit bowl. Objects that are arranged "just so" seem to drive certain kids to distraction.The bright side: From the time they realize they can wiggle their fingers and toes at will, children are fascinated to learn what they can and can't influence and control. Knocking things over and wreaking havoc on the neatly organized parts of your home is just another extension of that same desire to test their sphere of influence. As your child experiments, he's getting his first lessons in gravity and physics -- and also in how it makes other people feel when you wreck their stuff. Fortunately, almost all kids outgrow this phase, usually by first grade.
How to handle it: If your child is more interested in demolition than construction, make sure he knows that he's welcome to build his own creations just to knock them down. But other people's work is off-limits. It's often possible to see this kind of thing coming, and the best-case scenario is to step in before the disaster and redirect your child to something else. If you arrive on the scene too late, let him help rebuild or rearrange the mess he's made and encourage him to apologize to the thwarted builder. It's not always possible to put something back just the way it was, but cleaning up and making it right will help him begin to think about the effort that goes into constructing the things he so loves to destroy.

Article: Y-chromosome diversity in central Portugal reveals signatures of ancient maritime expansions.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The genetic diversity of human populations in Portugal results from several different demographic events that occurred in distinct prehistorical and historical periods. The main objective of this study was to examine if patterns of Y-chromosome diversity explained by ancient maritime Mediterranean expansions can be observed in Coimbra district (central-west region of Portugal). A total of 125 male DNA samples were typed for 16 Y-SNPs and eight Y-STRs using standard molecular methodologies. Thirteen different haplogroups were identified, being the typical Western European haplogroup R1b1b2-M269 the most common (57.6%), followed by J-M304 (16%) and E1b1b1-M35 (12%). Haplogroup J-M304, whose origin maps to the Middle East, showed significant differences when comparisons were made between Coimbra district and the innermost region of Beira Interior (p = 0.022), in the same geographic area of the country, but not with the Portuguese regions of Alentejo (p = 0.165) and Algarve (p = 0.254), with known evidences of Mediterranean influence. Y-STR analysis revealed in Coimbra district several haplotypes previously associated with ancient maritime Mediterranean expansions. These findings suggest that maritime routes in the first millennium B.C. may have been important for introduction of new male lineages in Central Portugal.Anthropologischer Anzeiger 11/2013; 70(4):355-67. · 0.54 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: The - 13910C>T polymorphism has been associated with lactase persistence (LP) in European populations. Aim: To assess - 13910C>T genotypes across Portugal and in adult individuals with unspecific gastrointestinal complaints associated with milk consumption. Subjects and methods: This study genotyped - 13910C>T in the general population from Northern (n = 64), Central (n = 70) and Southern (n = 65) Portugal and in 40 subjects with gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, the concordance was evaluated between breath-hydrogen test and - 13910C>T genotypes in 65 samples. Results: An overall frequency of 0.349 for the LP - 13910*T allele was estimated in the general population, with a noticeable decrease in the South (0.269) compared with North (0.383) and Centre (0.393). Among the symptomatic group, the frequency of the - 13910*T allele (0.363) was not significantly different from the general population. A 94% concordance was found between the breath-hydrogen and the molecular tests. Conclusions: This study suggests that (i) the distribution of the LP polymorphism is not uniform across the country, (ii) genotyping - 13910C>T is a good diagnostic tool for lactase status in the Portuguese population and (iii) self-reported gastrointestinal complaints are not good predictors of the LP status, implying that a significant part of those complaints may not be related to hypolactasia.Annals of Human Biology 01/2013; · 1.15 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Azores archipelago (Portugal) is formed by nine islands whose relative positions define them as three geographical groups: Eastern (S. Miguel and Sta. Maria), Central (Terceira, Faial, Pico, Graciosa and S. Jorge) and Western (Flores and Corvo). Using the father's surname of 187,398 individuals living on the nine Azorean Islands, a population analysis based on inter-island relationship and hierarchical organization was conducted. The relation between islands was investigated using summary statistics, analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) as well as graphical methods. When the values of heteronymy were contrasted with values of gene diversity based on haplogroup frequencies of the Y chromosome, it was possible to verify that Graciosa and Sta. Maria appeared to have the least diverse populations, and that Flores, despite its smaller population size and geographical isolation, has considerably higher levels of diversity. As for inter-island relationships, the difficulty of directly interpreting summary statistics values was evidenced. The AMOVA revealed that only 0.77% of the variation in surnames can be attributed to among-island variation, a value that, although small, can be considered significant. Application of Malécot's model revealed that geographic distance has an important impact in the genetic structure of the archipelago. Monmonier's maximum-difference algorithm demonstrated that the most isolated island of the archipelago appears to be Graciosa, followed by the islands of the Western group and by Sta. Maria. After integrating values of summary statistics with results from AMOVA and graphical methods, a more accurate genetic profile of the Azores, highly supported by genetic data, has emerged.Journal of Biosocial Science 08/2008; 40(4):607-21. · 0.98 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A population sample from São Tomé e Príncipe (West Africa) was screened for the G6PD-deficient variants A- (376G/202A), Betica (376G/968C), and Santa Maria (376G/542T). G6PD locus haplotype diversity was also investigated using six intragenic RFLPs (FokI, PvuII, BspHI, PstI, BclI, NlaIII) and a (CTT)n microsatellite 18.61 kb within the G6PD locus. The estimated frequencies of the G6PD*B normal allele, the G6PD*A variant (376G), and the G6PD*A- allele were 0.698, 0.194, and 0.108, respectively. G6PD variants Betica and Santa Maria were not found. Similar levels of microsatellite diversity were found on variants G6PD*B and G6PD*A (H = 0.61 and 0.68, respectively), indicating a similar age for both alleles. All G6PD*A- alleles share the RFLP-microsatellite haplotype ++(-)+(-)+/195, the same haplotype described in nearly all the *A-alleles from sub-Saharan, Mexican Mestizo, and Portuguese populations, consistent with a single and recent origin of the G202A mutation on this *A haplotype.Human Biology 01/2008; 79(6):679-86. · 1.52 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: G6PD deficiency mutational profile and haplotype diversity using 6 RFLPs (FokI/PvuII/BspHI/PstI/BclI/NlaIII) and a (CTT)(n) microsatellite, were investigated in 70 G6PD-deficient Portuguese individuals. All but one G6PD A-(376G/202A) variants (44/45) have a single haplotype (+/+/-/+/-/+/195). G6PD Betica(376G/968C) alleles (n=10) have a single RFLP haplotype (+/-/-/+/-/+) and 4 different (CTT)(n) repeats. Age estimates based on microsatellite variation suggest that Betica mutation arose 900 generations ago. G6PD SantaMaria(376G/542T) allele was found on haplotype (+/-/-/+/-/+/201) and 10 G6PD variants on RFLP haplotypes (-/-/+/+/-/-), (-/-/+/+/-/+) and (-/-/+/+/+/+).Haematologica 01/2008; 92(12):1713-4. · 5.94 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Twenty biallelic Y chromosome markers were analyzed in Angolares, Forros and Tongas, three population groups from the African archipelago of São Tomé e Príncipe. While most male lineages belonged to sub-Saharan haplogroups, the component of European origin added up 23.9% in the archipelago. This contrasts with the reported absence of European mtDNA lineages, and the combined findings testify to a strong sex-biased admixture process during the long-lasting colonial period in São Tomé e Príncipe. Furthermore, the male mediated European component was clearly found to be out of proportion to the small demographic impact of the Portuguese on the islands, reflecting high variance in the reproductive success of the individuals that contributed to its peopling. The male portion of European ancestry was 33.3% in Forros, 27.3% in Tongas and approximately two-fold less, 14.5%, in Angolares. The Angolares also showed the lowest haplogroup diversity and the most reduced number of different haplogroups. The current results reinforce our previous evidence pointing to remarkable restrictions in gene flow between Angolares and other São Tomean inhabitants, in agreement with their considerable isolation and confinement to the south-eastern tip of São Tomé until recently.Annals of Human Genetics 02/2007; 71(Pt 1):77-85. · 1.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have conducted studies to assess the variability of mtDNA and Y-chromosome markers in the Azores Islands (Portugal) and found that, for both genetic systems, the Azores, as a whole, fit well into the pattern of variation described for other Western European populations. Phylogeographic analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) showed a major contribution from Mainland Portugal, as well as evidences of influxes from Northern Europeans, Africans and Jewish groups. Characterization of markers on the non-recombining region of the Y-chromosome (NRY) has shown a main component of European lineages as well as the presence of North African chromosomes, in frequencies similar to those described for Mainland Portugal. On the other hand, both mtDNA and NRY analyses have evidenced differential demographic histories for the three groups of islands forming the archipelago.International Congress Series 04/2006; 1288:85–87. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The island of Flores is the most westerly of the Azores archipelago (Portugal). Despite its marked geographic isolation and reduced population size, biodemographic and genetic studies conducted so far do not support the idea that its population constitutes a genetic isolate. In this study we conducted a surname analysis of the Flores population for two time periods: the second half of the 19th century and the present day. Our main purposes were (1) to biodemographically and genetically characterize the island, taking into account the strong reduction in population observed from the middle of the 19th century to the present day; and (2) to analyze the influence that the effective population size and geographic distance have on the genetic structure of populations. For both periods analyzed, all indicators of diversity revealed a high level of surname diversity. Our results are in accordance with the diversity estimates obtained from both monoparental genetic markers located in the Y chromosome and frequencies of mtDNA haplogroups. Contrary to what could be expected, considering the strong reduction of population in the last 150 years, we observed that diversity was maintained and that microdifferentiation decreased. Both observations support a higher openness of parishes as a consequence of the increase in communication routes. From the first to the second period analyzed, a change in surname composition is evident, although the more frequent surnames in Flores are almost the same for both periods and some of them are reported to be surnames present in the first settlers of Flores. This result testifies to the impact of founders on the present-day gene pool of Flores island and allows us to infer that the genetic characterization of the present-day population of Flores could provide reliable information about the history of the peopling of the Azores.Human Biology 07/2005; 77(3):317-41. · 1.52 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We analyzed the control region of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from maternally related individuals originating from the Azores Islands (Portugal) in order to estimate the mutation rate of mtDNA and to gain insights into the process by which a new mutation arises and segregates into heteroplasmy. Length and/or point heteroplasmies were found at least in one individual of 72% of the studied families. Eleven new point substitutions were found, all of them in heteroplasmy, from which five appear to be somatic mutations and six can be considered germinal, evidencing the high frequency of somatic mutations in mtDNA in healthy young individuals. Different values of the mutation rate according to different assumptions were estimated. When considering all the germinal mutations, the value of the mutation rate obtained is one of the highest reported so far in family studies. However, when corrected for gender (assuming that the mutations present in men have the same evolutionary weight of somatic mutations because they will inevitably be lost) and for the probability of intraindividual fixation, the value for the mutation rate obtained for HVRI and HVRII (0.2415 mutations/site/Myr) was in the upper end of the values provided by phylogenetic estimations. These results indicate that the discrepancy, that has been reported previously, between the human mtDNA mutation rates observed along evolutionary timescales and the estimations obtained using family pedigrees can be minimized when corrections for gender proportions in newborn individuals and for the probability of intraindividual fixation are introduced. The analyses performed support the hypothesis that (1) in a constant, tight bottleneck genetic drift alone can explain different patterns of heteroplasmy segregation and (2) in neutral conditions, the destiny of a new mutation is strictly related to the initial proportion of the new variant. Another important point arising from the data obtained is that, even in the absence of a paternal contribution of mtDNA, recombination may occur between mtDNA molecules present in an individual, which is only observable if it occurs between mtDNA types that differ at two or more positions.Molecular Biology and Evolution 07/2005; 22(6):1490-505. · 14.31 Impact Factor -
Article: Determination of human caucasian mitochondrial DNA haplogroups by means of a hierarchical approach.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper we propose a hierarchical approach that allows the screening of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups in populations that have essentially West Eurasian mtDNA backgrounds but that could have some non-West Eurasian contributions. To develop and validate this scheme, we used data on 18 coding region polymorphisms (17 analyzed by RFLP analysis and 1 by sequencing) and sequences of hypervariable segment I (HVSI) of the mtDNA control region from the Azores Islands (Portugal) population. The proposed scheme allows the characterization of almost all West Eurasian and African major clusters by means of RFLPs. Furthermore, the scheme includes information on situations in which sequencing is pertinent to defining a particular haplogroup. The validity of the scheme is ensured by (1) using relatively stable polymorphic positions, (2) screening more than one position to define a specific haplogroup, and (3) typing confirmatory positions. Dubious samples can be resolved by sequencing. The robustness of this approach was assessed by sequencing all samples for HVSI, taking advantage of the previously established relationships between RFLPs and control region sequence polymorphisms. The use of this hierarchical approach avoids the screening of unnecessary control region polymorphisms and therefore results in a more rapid and cost-efficient screening than one in which all polymorphic positions are analyzed. Even if this approach leads to a lower level of phylogeographic resolution than the sequencing of all samples, it allows us to define population movements on a continental level and can be applied, unlike sequencing all samples, with a low cost in any laboratory.Human Biology 07/2004; 76(3):431-53. · 1.52 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have analysed the matrilineal genetic composition of three self-reported ethnic groups from São Tomé e Príncipe (Gulf of Guinea), an African archipelago whose settlement begun in the late fifteenth century. Sequence data from the hypervariable segments I (HVS-I) and II (HVS-II) were obtained for 30 Angolares, 35 Forros and 38 Tongas. The repertory of mtDNA lineages in São Tomé e Príncipe denoted a fully African maternal pool, primarily arisen from a Central/Southwestern substratum. The absence of any lineages of putative European descent means that the European impact at the mitochondrial pool was virtually nil. Angolares showed a clear reduction of mtDNA diversity and a slight genetic differentiation relative to Tongas or Forros, whereas the latter two groups did not present any signs of genetic boundaries between each other. The data obtained here reinforce the depiction of genetic substructuring in São Tomé e Príncipe previously derived from Y-chromosome STRs. In addition, the crossing of mtDNA and Y-STR information led to the inference that the female mediated gene flow within the archipelago was less restricted than the male, a pattern that could be framed in the cultural traditions and socio-historical interactions among the groups.Annals of Human Genetics 02/2004; 68(Pt 1):40-54. · 1.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

Article: Genetic structure and origin of peopling in the Azores islands (Portugal): the view from mtDNA.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Azores islands (Portugal), uninhabited when discovered by Portuguese navigators in the fifteenth century, are located in the Atlantic Ocean 1500 km from the European mainland. The archipelago is formed by nine islands of volcanic origin that define three geographical groups: Eastern (S. Miguel and Sta. Maria), Central (Terceira, Faial, Pico, Graciosa and S. Jorge) and Western (Flores and Corvo). To improve the genetic characterisation of the Azorean population, and to clarify some aspects related to the history of settlement, a study of mtDNA was conducted in the population of the archipelago. The HVRI region was sequenced and specific RFLPs were screened in 146 samples obtained from unrelated individuals with Azorean ancestry (50 from the Eastern group, 60 from the Central group, and 37 from the Western group). Samples were classified into haplogroups based on the information obtained from both sequencing and RFLP analysis. All the analyses performed support the idea that, in the whole group of islands, the majority of mtDNA lineages originated from the Iberian Peninsula, mainly from Portugal (mainland). However contributions from other European populations, especially from Northern Europe, cannot be disregarded. The values obtained for the various diversity parameters in the Azores archipelago indicate that the Azorean population, as a whole, does not exhibit the typical characteristics of an isolated population. The analysis of genetic data by groups of islands showed that the Western group exhibited particular features. The distribution of haplogroups in the Western group is very atypical, being significantly different from what is observed in the Eastern and Central groups. Furthermore, the diversity values are, in general, lower than those observed in other populations used for comparison. African haplogroups were found in all the groups of islands. Therefore the presence of Moorish and African slaves on the islands, as reported in historical sources, is supported by the mtDNA genetic data, especially in the Eastern group. The presence of Jews in the Central group is also supported by the mtDNA data. Neither historical nor genetic data (phylogeography of mtDNA) supports the idea of a differential settlement history for the Western group; however, it is represented in the phylogenies as an isolated branch. The effect of genetic drift, induced by the reduced population size since peopling occurred, has led to a very atypical distribution of haplogroups/haplotypes in this group of islands. We cannot ignore the influence of biodemographic and genetic processes, namely founder effect, genetic drift, migration, and even recent mutational events in the mtDNA lineages of the Azorean populations. Nevertheless, a great part of the variation in the Azorean mtDNA can be explained by the settlement history.Annals of Human Genetics 10/2003; 67(Pt 5):433-56. · 1.93 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Machado-Joseph Disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder of adult onset, associated with the expansion of a (CAG)n tract in the coding region of the causative gene, localized on 14q32.1. Machado-Joseph Disease shows non-Mendelian features typical of other triplet repeat disorders, including clinical heterogeneity, variable age at onset and anticipation. Three phenotypes have been proposed (clinical types 1, 2 and 3). Type 1 is associated with early age at onset and a high repeat number of the CAG sequence, and Types 2 and 3 have later onset and lower numbers of CAG repeats. This paper investigates whether there is selection against the MJD gene, acting through differential survival. nuptiality and fertility associated with clinical type and age at onset. The study sample comprised 40 MJD patients from the Azores (Portugal) having fully documented reproductive histories and known dates of death. The proportion of married patients of each clinical type increased from 0.22 among Type 1 patients, to 0.40 in Type 2 and 0.95 in Type 3. Age at onset and length of survival were also associated with marital status, with the married cases having later mean age at onset and longer mean survival time. In the whole sample, clinical type was associated with fertility, with significantly fewer children born to Type 1 patients. Among married patients clinical type was not associated with age at marriage, reproductive span or number of children. No reduction of fertility was detected among married patients in whom the onset of MJD was below the age of 50. The authors' interpretation of these results is that the high-repeat CAG haplotypes associated with early age at onset and clinical Type 1 are selected against through reduced survival and fertility. The fertility component of selection is mediated by nuptiality rather than marital fertility.Journal of Biosocial Science 08/2001; 33(3):361-73. · 0.98 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Four intragenic PKLR polymorphisms [1705A/C, 1738C/T. T10/19, and (ATT)n microsatellite] were studied in normal population samples of Central Portugal and São Tomé e Príncipe, a small archipelago located in the Gulf of Guinea, West Africa. For all loci, the observed genotype distributions do not deviate from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The allele frequencies found in the Portuguese population are similar to those previously described in Caucasian populations. Mother-child pair analysis for the (ATT)n microsatellite does not show deviations to the Mendelian rules. In São Tomé e Príncipe the biallelic polymorphisms 1705A/C, 1738C/T, and T10/19 presented inverse allelic frequencies when compared with the Portuguese population. Two new alleles were found at the (ATT)n microsatellite. Significant statistical differences were found between both populations. The results showed that São Tomeans had higher haplotype diversity and lower linkage disequilibrium among the polymorphic sites. The PKLR intragenic polymorphisms, commonly used in haplotype analysis with the gene mutations in PK-deficient patients, can thus be successfully employed in anthropological genetics.Human Biology 07/2001; 73(3):467-74. · 1.52 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Seven Y-chromosome STR loci, DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392 and DYS393 have been analysed in population samples of Angolares, Forros and Tongas, three ethnic groups from the African archipelago of São Tomé e Príncipe (Gulf of Guinea). Complete typings were obtained for 103 chromosomes, which belonged to 79 different haplotypes. The mean heterozygosity per locus in the overall São Tomean sample was 0.566, with the highest value found among Forros and the lowest among Angolares. Angolares also showed the lowest level of haplotype diversity. On average, the mean pairwise difference between two random haplotypes from Angolares, Forros and Tongas was 4.69, 6.74 and 6.23 repeats, respectively. The genetic distances were found to be statistically significant between Angolares and Forros or Tongas. In accordance, AMOVA revealed that the percentage of variation attributable to differences among groups was only significant when we distinguished between Angolares and non-Angolares. Globally, these results indicate that, with respect to the pool of male lineages of São Tomé e Príncipe, some genetic sub-structuring does exist, basically determined by the Angolares ethnic group.Annals of Human Genetics 06/2001; 65(Pt 3):271-83. · 1.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) reaches its highest prevalence world-wide in the Azores, thus constituting a public health problem in these islands. The aim of the study was thus to (1) determine the level of knowledge about the disease; (2) estimate the expected level of request for predictive testing, and (3) analyse the intentions of at-risk individuals concerning their reproductive decisions. A questionnaire on these points was distributed to 42 affected and 36 at-risk individuals. As expected, the educational level of the respondents was significantly associated with the level of knowledge about the disease. The survey indicated that 83.3% of the at-risk individuals would make use of predictive test and that 77.8% would make use of prenatal diagnosis. Of the latter, 36.1% would terminate pregnancy if confronted with a positive result for the fetus. The level of knowledge about MJD in the Azorean families is considered to be fair. Although the actual behavior can prove to be different from the intentions put forward by at-risk individuals based solely on the results of this study we can estimate that the request for a predictive test would be quite high. The intentions expressed by at-risk individuals seem to indicate that the prenatal diagnosis will have an effect on their reproductive decisions. Results obtained certify the importance of implementing genetic testing for MJD in the Azores.Community Genetics 02/2001; 4(1):36-42. · 1.32 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mutations in the PKLR gene responsible for pyruvate kinase (PK)-deficient anaemia are mainly located in the coding regions: 11 are in the splicing sites and, recently, three mutations have been described in the promoter region. We now report a novel point mutation A-->G on nucleotide 72, upstream from the initiation codon of the PKLR gene, in four Portuguese PK-deficient patients. This new regulatory mutation occurs within the most proximal of the four GATA motifs (GATA-A element) in the R-type promoter region. In two patients who were homozygous for this mutation, a semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure was used to evaluate the amount of R-PK mRNA transcript in the reticulocytes. The mRNA level was about five times lower than in normal controls, demonstrating that the PKLR gene transcription is severely affected, most probably because the -72A-->G point mutation disables the binding of the erythroid transcription factor GATA-1 to the GATA-A element. Supporting these data, the two patients homozygous for the -72A-->G mutation had severe haemolytic anaemia and were transfusion dependent until splenectomy. Two other patients who were compound heterozygous for this mutation and the previously described missense mutation 1456C-->T had a mild condition.British Journal of Haematology 10/2000; 110(4):993-7. · 4.96 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
