- APADB: a database for alternative polyadenylation and microRNA regulation events (2014)
- Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a widespread mechanism that contributes to the sophisticated dynamics of gene regulation. Approximately 50% of all protein-coding human genes harbor multiple polyadenylation (PA) sites; their selective and combinatorial use gives rise to transcript variants with differing length of their 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). Shortened variants escape UTR-mediated regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs), especially in cancer, where global 3'UTR shortening accelerates disease progression, dedifferentiation and proliferation. Here we present APADB, a database of vertebrate PA sites determined by 3' end sequencing, using massive analysis of complementary DNA ends. APADB provides (A)PA sites for coding and non-coding transcripts of human, mouse and chicken genes. For human and mouse, several tissue types, including different cancer specimens, are available. APADB records the loss of predicted miRNA binding sites and visualizes next-generation sequencing reads that support each PA site in a genome browser. The database tables can either be browsed according to organism and tissue or alternatively searched for a gene of interest. APADB is the largest database of APA in human, chicken and mouse. The stored information provides experimental evidence for thousands of PA sites and APA events. APADB combines 3' end sequencing data with prediction algorithms of miRNA binding sites, allowing to further improve prediction algorithms. Current databases lack correct information about 3'UTR lengths, especially for chicken, and APADB provides necessary information to close this gap. Database URL: http://tools.genxpro.net/apadb/
- Expression Analysis of Sugarcane Aquaporin Genes under Water Deficit (2013)
- The present work is a pioneer study specifically addressing the aquaporin transcripts in sugarcane transcriptomes. Representatives of the four aquaporin subfamilies (PIP, TIP, SIP, and NIP), already described for higher plants, were identified. Forty-two distinct aquaporin isoforms were expressed in four HT-SuperSAGE libraries from sugarcane roots of drought-tolerant and -sensitive genotypes, respectively. At least 10 different potential aquaporin isoform targets and their respective unitags were considered to be promising for future studies and especially for the development of molecular markers for plant breeding. From those 10 isoforms, four (SoPIP2-4, SoPIP2-6, OsPIP2-4, and SsPIP1-1) showed distinct responses towards drought, with divergent expressions between the bulks from tolerant and sensitive genotypes, when they were compared under normal and stress conditions. Two targets (SsPIP1-1 and SoPIP1-3/PIP1-4) were selected for validation via RT-qPCR and their expression patterns as detected by HT-SuperSAGE were confirmed. The employed validation strategy revealed that different genotypes share the same tolerant or sensitive phenotype, respectively, but may use different routes for stress acclimation, indicating the aquaporin transcription in sugarcane to be potentially genotype-specific.
- High-throughput SuperSAGE for digital gene expression analysis of multiple samples using next generation sequencing (2010)
- We established a protocol of the SuperSAGE technology combined with next-generation sequencing, coined "High-Throughput (HT-) SuperSAGE". SuperSAGE is a method of digital gene expression profiling that allows isolation of 26-bp tag fragments from expressed transcripts. In the present protocol, index (barcode) sequences are employed to discriminate tags from different samples. Such barcodes allow researchers to analyze digital tags from transcriptomes of many samples in a single sequencing run by simply pooling the libraries. Here, we demonstrated that HT-SuperSAGE provided highly sensitive, reproducible and accurate digital gene expression data. By increasing throughput for analysis in HT-SuperSAGE, various applications are foreseen and several examples are provided in the present study, including analyses of laser-microdissected cells, biological replicates and tag extraction using different anchoring enzymes.
- Integration of novel SSR and gene-based SNP marker loci in the chickpea genetic map and establishment of new anchor points with Medicago truncatula genome (2010)
- This study presents the development and mapping of simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in chickpea. The mapping population is based on an inter-specific cross between domesticated and non-domesticated genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum ICC 4958 × C. reticulatum PI 489777). This same population has been the focus of previous studies, permitting integration of new and legacy genetic markers into a single genetic map. We report a set of 311 novel SSR markers (designated ICCM—ICRISAT chickpea microsatellite), obtained from an SSR-enriched genomic library of ICC 4958. Screening of these SSR markers on a diverse panel of 48 chickpea accessions provided 147 polymorphic markers with 2–21 alleles and polymorphic information content value 0.04–0.92. Fifty-two of these markers were polymorphic between parental genotypes of the inter-specific population. We also analyzed 233 previously published (H-series) SSR markers that provided another set of 52 polymorphic markers. An additional 71 gene-based SNP markers were developed from transcript sequences that are highly conserved between chickpea and its near relative Medicago truncatula. By using these three approaches, 175 new marker loci along with 407 previously reported marker loci were integrated to yield an improved genetic map of chickpea. The integrated map contains 521 loci organized into eight linkage groups that span 2,602 cM, with an average inter-marker distance of 4.99 cM. Gene-based markers provide anchor points for comparing the genomes of Medicago and chickpea, and reveal extended synteny between these two species. The combined set of genetic markers and their integration into an improved genetic map should facilitate chickpea genetics and breeding, as well as translational studies between chickpea and Medicago.
- Novel SSR markers from BAC-end sequences, DArT arrays and a comprehensive genetic map with 1,291 marker loci for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (2011)
- Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most important cool season food legume, cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The goal of this study was to develop novel molecular markers such as microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-end sequences (BESs) and diversity arrays technology (DArT) markers, and to construct a high-density genetic map based on recombinant inbred line (RIL) population ICC 4958 (C. arietinum)×PI 489777 (C. reticulatum). A BAC-library comprising 55,680 clones was constructed and 46,270 BESs were generated. Mining of these BESs provided 6,845 SSRs, and primer pairs were designed for 1,344 SSRs. In parallel, DArT arrays with ca. 15,000 clones were developed, and 5,397 clones were found polymorphic among 94 genotypes tested. Screening of newly developed BES-SSR markers and DArT arrays on the parental genotypes of the RIL mapping population showed polymorphism with 253 BES-SSR markers and 675 DArT markers. Segregation data obtained for these polymorphic markers and 494 markers data compiled from published reports or collaborators were used for constructing the genetic map. As a result, a comprehensive genetic map comprising 1,291 markers on eight linkage groups (LGs) spanning a total of 845.56 cM distance was developed (http://cmap.icrisat.ac.in/cmap/sm/cp/thudi/). The number of markers per linkage group ranged from 68 (LG 8) to 218 (LG 3) with an average inter-marker distance of 0.65 cM. While the developed resource of molecular markers will be useful for genetic diversity, genetic mapping and molecular breeding applications, the comprehensive genetic map with integrated BES-SSR markers will facilitate its anchoring to the physical map (under construction) to accelerate map-based cloning of genes in chickpea and comparative genome evolution studies in legumes.
- SuperSAGE : the drought stress-responsive transcriptome of chickpea roots (2008)
- Background Drought is the major constraint to increase yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Improving drought tolerance is therefore of outmost importance for breeding. However, the complexity of the trait allowed only marginal progress. A solution to the current stagnation is expected from innovative molecular tools such as transcriptome analyses providing insight into stress-related gene activity, which combined with molecular markers and expression (e)QTL mapping, may accelerate knowledge-based breeding. SuperSAGE, an improved version of the serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) technique, generating genome-wide, high-quality transcription profiles from any eukaryote, has been employed in the present study. The method produces 26 bp long fragments (26 bp tags) from defined positions in cDNAs, providing sufficient sequence information to unambiguously characterize the mRNAs. Further, SuperSAGE tags may be immediately used to produce microarrays and probes for real-time-PCR, thereby overcoming the lack of genomic tools in non-model organisms. Results We applied SuperSAGE to the analysis of gene expression in chickpea roots in response to drought. To this end, we sequenced 80,238 26 bp tags representing 17,493 unique transcripts (UniTags) from drought-stressed and non-stressed control roots. A total of 7,532 (43%) UniTags were more than 2.7-fold differentially expressed, and 880 (5.0%) were regulated more than 8-fold upon stress. Their large size enabled the unambiguous annotation of 3,858 (22%) UniTags to genes or proteins in public data bases and thus to stress-response processes. We designed a microarray carrying 3,000 of these 26 bp tags. The chip data confirmed 79% of the tag-based results, whereas RT-PCR confirmed the SuperSAGE data in all cases. Conclusion This study represents the most comprehensive analysis of the drought-response transcriptome of chickpea available to date. It demonstrates that – inter alias – signal transduction, transcription regulation, osmolyte accumulation, and ROS scavenging undergo strong transcriptional remodelling in chickpea roots already 6 h after drought stress. Certain transcript isoforms characterizing these processes are potential targets for breeding for drought tolerance. We demonstrate that these can be easily accessed by micro-arrays and RT-PCR assays readily produced downstream of SuperSAGE. Our study proves that SuperSAGE owns potential for molecular breeding also in non-model crops.
- SymGRASS: a database of sugarcane orthologous genes involved in arbuscular mycorrhiza and root nodule symbiosis : from Seventh International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, (CIBB 2010), Palermo, Italy, 16 - 18 September 2010 (2013)
- Background: The rationale for gathering information from plants procuring nitrogen through symbiotic interactions controlled by a common genetic program for a sustainable biofuel production is the high energy demanding application of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. We curated sequence information publicly available for the biofuel plant sugarcane, performed an analysis of the common SYM pathway known to control symbiosis in other plants, and provide results, sequences and literature links as an online database. Methods: Sugarcane sequences and informations were downloaded from the nucEST database, cleaned and trimmed with seqclean, assembled with TGICL plus translating mapping method, and annotated. The annotation is based on BLAST searches against a local formatted plant Uniprot90 generated with CD-HIT for functional assignment, rpsBLAST to CDD database for conserved domain analysis, and BLAST search to sorghum's for Gene Ontology (GO) assignment. Gene expression was normalized according the Unigene standard, presented as ESTs/100 kb. Protein sequences known in the SYM pathway were used as queries to search the SymGRASS sequence database. Additionally, antimicrobial peptides described in the PhytAMP database served as queries to retrieve and generate expression profiles of these defense genes in the libraries compared to the libraries obtained under symbiotic interactions. Results: We describe the SymGRASS, a database of sugarcane orthologous genes involved in arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and root nodule (RN) symbiosis. The database aggregates knowledge about sequences, tissues, organ, developmental stages and experimental conditions, and provides annotation and level of gene expression for sugarcane transcripts and SYM orthologous genes in sugarcane through a web interface. Several candidate genes were found for all nodes in the pathway, and interestingly a set of symbiosis specific genes was found. Conclusions: The knowledge integrated in SymGRASS may guide studies on molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms by which sugarcane controls the establishment and efficiency of endophytic associations. We believe that the candidate sequences for the SYM pathway together with the pool of exclusively expressed tentative consensus (TC) sequences are crucial for the design of molecular studies to unravel the mechanisms controlling the establishment of symbioses in sugarcane, ultimately serving as a basis for the improvement of grass crops.
- The salt-responsive transcriptome of chickpea roots and nodules via deepSuperSAGE (2011)
- Background: The combination of high-throughput transcript profiling and next-generation sequencing technologies is a prerequisite for genome-wide comprehensive transcriptome analysis. Our recent innovation of deepSuperSAGE is based on an advanced SuperSAGE protocol and its combination with massively parallel pyrosequencing on Roche's 454 sequencing platform. As a demonstration of the power of this combination, we have chosen the salt stress transcriptomes of roots and nodules of the third most important legume crop chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). While our report is more technology-oriented, it nevertheless addresses a major world-wide problem for crops generally: high salinity. Together with low temperatures and water stress, high salinity is responsible for crop losses of millions of tons of various legume (and other) crops. Continuously deteriorating environmental conditions will combine with salinity stress to further compromise crop yields. As a good example for such stress-exposed crop plants, we started to characterize salt stress responses of chickpeas on the transcriptome level. Results: We used deepSuperSAGE to detect early global transcriptome changes in salt-stressed chickpea. The salt stress responses of 86,919 transcripts representing 17,918 unique 26bp deepSuperSAGE tags (UniTags) from roots of the salt-tolerant variety INRAT-93 two hours after treatment with 25 mM NaCl were characterized. Additionally, the expression of 57,281 transcripts representing 13,115 UniTags was monitored in nodules of the same plants. From a total of 144,200 analyzed 26bp tags in roots and nodules together, 21,401 unique transcripts were identified. Of these, only 363 and 106 specific transcripts, respectively, were commonly up- or down-regulated (>3.0-fold) under salt stress in both organs, witnessing a differential organ-specific response to stress. Profiting from recent pioneer works on massive cDNA sequencing in chickpea, more than 9,400 UniTags were able to be linked to UniProt entries. Additionally, gene ontology (GO) categories over-representation analysis enabled to filter out enriched biological processes among the differentially expressed UniTags. Subsequently, the gathered information was further cross-checked with stress-related pathways. From several filtered pathways, here we focus exemplarily on transcripts associated with the generation and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as on transcripts involved in Na+ homeostasis. Although both processes are already very well characterized in other plants, the information generated in the present work is of high value. Information on expression profiles and sequence similarity for several hundreds of transcripts of potential interest is now available. Conclusions: This report demonstrates, that the combination of the high-throughput transcriptome profiling technology SuperSAGE with one of the next-generation sequencing platforms allows deep insights into the first molecular reactions of a plant exposed to salinity. Cross validation with recent reports enriched the information about the salt stress dynamics of more than 9,000 chickpea ESTs, and enlarged their pool of alternative transcripts isoforms. As an example for the high resolution of the employed technology that we coin deepSuperSAGE, we demonstrate that ROS-scavenging and -generating pathways undergo strong global transcriptome changes in chickpea roots and nodules already 2 hours after onset of moderate salt stress (25mM NaCl). Additionally, a set of more than 15 candidate transcripts are proposed to be potential components of the salt overly sensitive (SOS) pathway in chickpea. Newly identified transcript isoforms are potential targets for breeding novel cultivars with high salinity tolerance. We demonstrate that these targets can be integrated into breeding schemes by micro-arrays and RT-PCR assays downstream of the generation of 26bp tags by SuperSAGE.
- Validation of novel reference genes for reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR in drought-stressed sugarcane (2014)
- One of the most challenging aspects of RT-qPCR data analysis is the identification of reliable reference genes. Ideally, they should be neither induced nor repressed under different experimental conditions. To date, few reference genes have been adequately studied for sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) using statistical approaches. In this work, six candidate genes (αTUB, GAPDH, H1, SAMDC, UBQ, and 25S rRNA) were tested for gene expression normalization of sugarcane root tissues from drought-tolerant and -sensitive accessions after continuous dehydration (24 h). By undergoing different approaches (GeNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper), it was shown that most of them could be used in combinations for normalization purposes, with the exception of SAMDC. Nevertheless three of them (H1, αTUB, and GAPDH) were considered the most reliable reference genes. Their suitability as reference genes validated the expression profiles of two targets (AS and PFPα1), related to SuperSAGE unitags, in agreement with results revealed by previous in silico analysis. The other two sugarcane unitags (ACC oxidase and PIP1-1), after salt stress (100 mM NaCl), presented their expressions validated in the same way. In conclusion, these reference genes will be useful for dissecting gene expression in sugarcane roots under abiotic stress, especially in transcriptomic studies using SuperSAGE or RNAseq approaches.

hey guys, happy new year !
After reading a lot of posts on here on what will work and what won't work for submairnes anymore, is there a ready to use radio that will work in our subs ? What is it ? My radio equip. has been sitting on the shelf for too long and one of them won't wake up anymore, my old Ace Subcommander radio and in my opinion its too old to pay to have it fixed. Besides that I wanted to get a new radio and was reading that the new ones will not work for submarines. thanks allot Jeff Jones

CHP nabs kidnapping suspect after Amber Alert sighting in Lassen County
The Susanville area California Highway Patrol have in custody two adults allegedly involved in a possible kidnapping that occurred shortly before 10 a.m. today, Friday, July 9. The traffic stop occurred at the Honey Lake Rest Stop, south of Janesville on Highway 395.
The Sacramento Sheriff's Department said no children were involved in the Amber Alert issued earlier today.
Initial reports of what transpired earlier in the day are now blurred. We will keep you posted on further updates as we receive them.
Officials have identified the suspect as 27-year-old Leon Cuahutemoc.
Shortly before 10 a.m., Cuahutemoc went to the woman's apartment and allegedly took her and the child by force.
Bystanders said the suspect allegedly fired several shots, though an area deputy sergeant said Cuahutemoc was not targeting the woman.
He then allegedly forced her into a car described as a pink Lincoln Continental. They were last seen heading westbound. It's unclear whether the girl is Cuahutemoc's child from another relationship or the couple's child.
The 3-year-old is described as a Hispanic girl with brown hair and brown eyes, according to the alert.
The adult victim is described as a white woman, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds, Curran said. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing a white shirt and pink pants.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic man, 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds, Curran said. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

At the most fundamental level, history majors ask "How did things get to be this way?" And in seeking the answers to that most basic of all questions, they gain deep and rich insights into both the great diversity and the binding commonalities of the human experience. Ultimately, the study of history helps us to define and understand the most essential elements of our own identity – who we are, where we come from, and how we are connected.
History is an ideal undergraduate major not just because of the extraordinary sense of context, perspective, and cultural awareness that it produces. It is valuable as well for the methodological, analytical, and communication skills that it develops in its students, so a major in history opens the door to the proverbial best of both worlds: it provides an exciting, stimulating, and multidimensional intellectual experience, while simultaneously preparing the graduate for a truly endless array of career opportunities.In medieval times people accused of being witches were put to death. One historian conjectures that as many as 600,000 "witches" lost their lives during this time.

Why nobody mentioned Unigine team here yet? They have successfully developed a modern engine which runs well on Linux. Even though they compete with Valve in some way, they might help - bringing Steam to Linux will likely benefit them, too.
Your logic is faulty.
You claim that you need to "eat", this is why you write closed source software. Correct?
If we extrapolate, you certainly mean: Writing code -> Selling it-> Getting money -> "Food" to write more code.
How about: Writing code-> Not selling it, because everyone has copied it?
Is this the reason you close the source of it? To sell more copies? So you make money by "selling" more copies, than with "coding"?
How about:
Writing code -> Not selling it, because corporations already own patents, control markets and have work force many times cheaper of yourself.
You are left with "coding" and getting paid for that.
But because you still write closed source and prefer closed source, you have to write not a typical program, you have to write whole operating system from scratch (wonderful DOS era!), a long with its errors and mistakes. More closed source buggy engines!! More bugs and more effort to write it!! This is hard work to be respected!!
This is how sun solaris engineers thought things should work.
But then come two things:
- microsoft with cheap chineese or indian coders (work for rice), flooding the market with cheap (and patented) closed source.
- opensource, where people reuse everything and get paid only for actual coding.
Now sun is dead. No one cares for dead closed source code.
Talking about microsoft, do you know they SHARE their "closed source" within the company. So they are really OPENSOURCE, but within themself. They cannot do without it, they cannot let everyone code own code and close it down, so they have 10,000 closed source parts from each 10,000 their "programmers". They are sharing internally open code.
But there is more! UNlike creating material things, programming is a process to transfer material energy into informational form (food->code). Then, you are left with a puzzle to get material payment to compensate that (code->food).
1) You traditional faulty dead approach is to handle information like material thing (close it down). This will not work, because Im writing this and when you read it, it won´t dissapear from here but double. Information doubles on use, material extiguishes on use. Feel difference? Now imagine, I won´t write this at all and keep it in my head. Do you really thing it will stay intact? No, it will be extict, because NO ONE USES IT. Instead of using this advantage you are trying to castrate it and this is the reason you loose.
2) DRM approach is to differenitiate between information and information carrier. Information carrier is material, information is information. So they just bind information to material carrier (reserve the right to copy to themself). But it does not work, because information can always be cloned without damage. However, this is not so damaging, because filming and coding are rather very different things. You cannot reuse some material when filming (scenes from other movies). You will need to go from scratch for every movie. This is why no one cares much about "opensourcing" a movie. "Freeware" movie is sufficient.
3) Opensource approach is to differenitiate between information and information carrier, also deferentiate between effort required to create information and actual result. This is why we have subscriptions, bidding on target or buying out. Define the amount of money you will need to implement the stuff that is needed, then collect the money, code and set it for free for reuse. And by the way, you will need considerably LESS money than coding as closed-source developer, because you are ALREADY free to reuse whichever exists before. You are not reinventing operating systems, but doing actual work.
Regardless of whether I believe phoronix or not, this post shows again the level of integrity and commitment it has to Linux and FOSS, namely none. You use CrapOS to read/send mail and you want to use _that_ as proof for something? What else do you use it for? What's the point of having a website that's dedicated to, and I quote the title tag on the front page, "[Phoronix] Linux Hardware Reviews, Benchmarking, & Gaming", and then using software/hardware of the most vile firm on earth, of the devil's incarnation and the very pest of the 20th/21st century? How can anyone believe _any_ word you say when you don't even use Linux yourself to accomplish the most basic tasks? It just seems you're riding on its growing popularity for the sake of money, and this is not something acceptable.
What's wrong with using apple's hardware? And as Michael stated before he uses virtualised ubuntu most of the time. I like linux too, but i use windows, because my family members like windows better and because sometimes i wanna play some games and wine, dual boot ain't my thing. I have linux in vm, but it's performance sucks. And calling OSX crapOS just shows how ignorant You are.

It's called hypocrisy. If you keep telling people that you're interested in something, hell you even go so far as to open up a website about it, and then you don't even use it yourself but something else, that makes you a hypocrite. And thus a morally generally suspicious person, whose other statements should also be taken cum grano salis.
I would have no problem using windows myself if I wanted to play games that were written for windows, I find it a much better solution than using wine, it's just that it would be kind of hypocrite of me to support Linux all the time and then go and use something else instead, so I just don't play games for windows. And reading mail isn't even a crapOS exclusive thing.
I name it crapOS for two reasons: first, because I don't like advertising things I despise, and two, because that's what it is for me.
By the way, using 'lol', 'u', and calling other people names doesn't exactly make you come off intelligent.

Atheist News Podcast ProjectHey guys. I probably shouldn't put this off anymore, so I'm just going to jump on it and improvise. I'm pretty sure the show is over. It was a ton of fun doing it, but with work and my son and my wife in school I simply don't have time to do it anymore. Other folks have offered to take over but I don't really feel comfortable with that. Quit while you're ahead, sez I. Anyhow, I payed for another year of hosting, so the archive of podcasts will be available for at least that long. I really enjoyed podcasting, so I might do something again in the future. I'll keep you posted. Thanks guys and gals! It was AMAZING. Love, --Joe Questions, comments? |

Peter I used King Arthur Bread flour. Is GM Better for Bread a better choice for a cracker crust?
Peter,Do you think the combination of docking and use of steel plate is keeping Chuck's crust bottom from being evenly browned all over.
Will the cutter pan work with my oven setup? Should I place the cutter pan on the lowest shelf to get closer direct heat from the lower element?
Is it possible to make this type of a dough without a mixer? or is it too dry.

Micha Bar Am : Yom Kippur War in the Sinai
View photo details
October 3, 2013
This month marks the 40th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War.
On October 6th, 1973 - the day of the Jewish high holiday of Yom Kippur - Egypt and Syria launched surprise attacks against Israeli positions on the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights. Their goal was to recapture land lost during the 1967 Six Day War, during which Egypt, Jordan and Syria had been humiliated by numerically inferior Israeli forces.
Ever mindful of possible retribution, during the years between the 1967 and 1973 conflicts, Israel spent time fortifying their lines in the Sinai along the Suez Canal. Though caught by surprise, the "Bar Lev" line held long enough to be relieved by Israeli reinforcements which then went on the offensive across the Suez and into Egyptian territory. At the mean time, well to the north Israeli forces successfully defended the Golan Heights and then went on the offensive deep into Syria.
The conflict ended in an Israeli victory and set up the region for a new round of prolonged negotiations.
Photographer Micha Bar Am documented the Suez between the wars and then returned to cover Israeli operations in the Sinai during the Yom Kippur War.

Classmates reunite after 50 years
Members of Greenville High School's Class of 1963 get together for their 50th reunion Aug. 2 and 3. Back row from left: Jim Meyers, Bill Story, John Batson, Jim Greco, Janice Hall, Jammie Phillpot, Ross Posch and Dowanna Bettis.

During the weekend of Aug. 2, alumni of Greenville High School's Class of 1963 returned to the town of their alma mater for their 50-year reunion. Returning classmates spent the weekend reliving their glory days and, in some cases, re-establishing connections that were lost after graduation.
Out of the 41 students who graduated that year, 20 celebrated this academic milestone with their peers and 13 have since passed away. Many of the students were educated together since the first grade, when classes were still held at the old schoolhouse on Main Street.
While most of the graduates have long since moved out of the area, some still live in Indian Valley. Thus, a number of graduates had not seen their fellow classmates since graduation; for others, it had been more than 15 years since their last meeting; and for a select few, their high school romance resulted in a lifelong marriage bond.
One such couple, high school sweethearts Jim and Rocky Geil, married the summer after graduation and were able to celebrate their 50-year anniversary in conjunction with their 50-year high school reunion.
This reunion was the first held for the class in 15 years. Charlene (Thomson) Phipps, grade seven through 12 cheerleader and one of the reunion coordinators, explained that Richard McCutcheon, a GHS alumnus from a different class, organizes a school-wide reunion every three years; rather than organizing a separate reunion, the class of '63 previously decided to join the school-wide reunion. She said because this year marked a significant milestone, however, the class decided to organize the 50-year class reunion.
"The really wonderful thing was that we were such a small class that it felt more like seeing brothers and sisters. We picked up right where we left off with hugs, kisses and shared memories — we were like a big family," said Phipps.
As part of their celebration, the names of deceased classmates were read off one by one. For some, this was the first time learning of the deaths. "There were so many tears; it was very emotional and special," said Phipps.
To lighten the situation, the class said the deceased had simply "gone fishin'." Others in the group related their near-death experiences, and Phipps said the whole event highlighted the fact that, for many in attendance, it would be the last time seeing their classmates. She said, "We are getting older and people go fishin'."
The reunion was split up into several events, including the main party, which was hosted Friday, Aug. 2, at Kay North's house in Crescent Mills.
On Saturday, the group met at the Cy Hall Memorial Museum where Janice Hall Thomas gave them a private tour of the new museum. Out of the class's two living teachers, social studies teacher John Schramel, joined them in the tour.
Afterward, the party was moved to the Way Station where the group enjoyed dinner and a late night of playing catch-up. "We shared so many fun memories about times when we got in trouble as kids, and who was boyfriend/girlfriend at the time … no one wanted to leave," said Phipps.
One of the graduates even brought along several issues of the Indian Valley Record from 1963 to help rekindle memories from that year. Several alumni reminisced further by staying the weekend at the Hideaway Motel, which was where their graduation dinner was held in 1963.
Although Phipps said she was very excited to revisit her hometown, she also expressed her sadness over how the population of Greenville has decreased over the years. "Greenville was a thriving community of around 5,000 people when we graduated. The high school was the center of our community and we were all proud of it.
"It is hard to see Greenville in its present condition. When we were in school, every one of the stores that are now boarded up was still open and people were walking along the streets all day long. It was hard to hear that the high school is struggling to stay afloat."

West Virginia Senator Jo Manchin has a bone to pick with MTV's new reality show Buckwild. The series, which premieres next month, follows a group of twentysomethings living in a small West Virginia town and has been described as "The Jersey Shore of Appalachia." BuzzFeed obtained a letter the senator sent MTV requesting the network cancel the series.Ian Somerhalder? Sofia Vergara? Make your picks for TV's sexiest eye candy now!"As a U.S. Senator, I am repulsed at this business venture, where some Americans are making money off of the poor decisions of our youth," Manchin wrote. "I have no problem with people in this country trying to earn a profit, but I would ask them: Would they do this to their own children, in their own neighborhood, in their own home state?"According to Manchin, Buckwild is a "travesty" which "plays on ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of West Virginia." Buckwild's producer John Stevens spoke to Entertainment Weekly in defense of the series, explaining: "It's not like looking at a train wreck. That's not what it is.Remember when Justin Timberlake had curls? Check out the most dramatic celebrity makeovers"It's quite the opposite of everything else on TV," Johnson continued. "These kids aren't hooked into the internet. They don't do Facebook. Shane doesn't even have a cell phone. The parents have to go find in the woods when I call to find him. He's usually out there on his ATV and motorcycle. That's their idea of fun. That's what so refreshing."Watch a trailer for Buckwild below.

It's understandable if they don't really have anyone there familiar with Linux. If they are indeed planning to compete in the arm market, they probably are learning it as they go along out of necessity.
Since everyone thought they were defunct, it's reasonable to assume they don't have the payroll to employ a Linux specialist. Let's hope they start working closely with the community instead. I don't own any of their stuff, but any potential open video solutions for arm netbooks is a plus.

Set for release by 2014, VW will equip the Golf blue-e-motion with an instrument panel, featuring a kW gauge replacing the traditional tachometer, that will engage the driver in keeping the kilowatt reading as low as possible and maximize the range of the vehicle. The car will also boast selectable regenerative braking – meaning there will be four levels, from "sailing" to heavy-duty regeneration that can be managed with shifter paddles on the steering wheel. With the lowest setting D allowing the car to "sail" normally once the driver's foot comes off the accelerator, while the highest level, D3, slows the vehicle down and recovers as much energy as possible. The Golf blue-e-motion will also offer three different driving options, including Normal, Comfort+ and Range+.
If you're not looking for fancy bells and whistles, the VW's Golf blue-e-motion could be the affordable, alternative energy vehicle you've been looking for. Come 2014, of course.

You may order samples online. Sample must be purchased and shipping charges apply. Please keep in mind sample tiles may vary in color from future orders due to the handmade process.
Mexico is world reknown for its skillful artisans in a wide variety of fields. Mexican writer Alberto Ruy Sanchez Lacy called Mexican tile a "chosen skin". Tiles have embellished numerous public and private spaces thoughout Mexico. A glimpse anywhere in Mexico, particularly in the central states, shows the widespread use of talavera tiles decorating a broad range of spaces from kitchens, fountains, facades, interiors of luxurious hacienda homes to churches. It is through traditional artifacts, such as handcrafted tiles, that one can perceive an artisan's sensibility, and creativity. Handcrafted ceramic tile is a rooted cultural heritage in Mexico, since its practice of making it began in the late sixteen century, around 1570 and 1573. Mexican ceramic tiles have actively played a distinguished role as an important utilitarian and decorative element in Mexican architecture.
Mexican tile is functional, beautiful, and practical, it provides a long lasting wall or surface that is easy to care and maintain. You can install Mexican tiles in virtually any area you want to enjoy their warm and beauty.
The tiles are made from clay dug out of the ground and fired to a temperature at which the clay undergoes chemical changes and becomes permanently hard. Then the tile is glazed and decorated by hand, and fired once again to give it its final and lively finish. Its physical characteristics make Mexican tiles particularly attractive and distinctive. Mexican tiles are concave (not perfectly flat). They are characterized as unique, irregular, functional, and expressive.Specifications | Description | ||||||||||||
How to Order Tile Samples | You may order samples online or by phone. Sample must be purchased and shipping charges apply. When ordering samples please keep in mind there is no guarantee tile samples will match future orders do to the handmade process. | ||||||||||||
Size | Due to handmade nature, tiles may vary by up to 1/4 in. Sizes are nominal, meaning that sizes vary from the actual. | ||||||||||||
Color, Size and Design Variation | Slight variations are expected for all Talavera Tiles. For instance, size, color and design are all likely to vary due to the hand made process. PLEASE NOTE: shades of color are seen differently on computer monitors and therefore customers should request a sample before making a final selection or purchase. Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders. | ||||||||||||
Tiles per Square Foot |
** The following is an estimate number of tiles you will need per square foot. The amount of tiles needed per square foot varies according to tile size and shape. This is a courtesy estimate and we recommend to double check measurements and tile quantities with your tile expert installer as you may need additional pieces to account for cuts and breakage. | ||||||||||||
Body | Red body bisque, irregular and concave (not perfectly flat). | ||||||||||||
Finish | Due to the sensitive nature of talavera tiles surface scratches may be prominent in dark colors. For example, Cobalt Blue. All Talavera tiles have a glossy finish. | ||||||||||||
Crazed Effect | Crazing effect refers to small cracks on the surface of a tile, characteristic which is inherent and may be visible before and/or after installation. However, over time this attribute may become more prominent or can be enhanced by using a contrasting colored grout. | ||||||||||||
Tile Thickness | All our standard 4x4 in. Talavera tiles have a 1/4 in. thickness. Larger and smaller tiles may vary in thickness accordingly. | ||||||||||||
Applications | Suitable for all interiors of residential and commercial wall applications. Light-use flooring as accents or as a border to define an area. If used in moist areas, apply a penetrating sealer which forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. Outdoor use is subject to climate. Talavera tiles are NOT frost proof. | ||||||||||||
Recommended Grout Type and Width | 1/4 in. grout line suggested. Use sanded grout when doing grout lines of 1/4 in. or more; and non-sanded grout when less than 1/4 in. We recommend to seal tile before grouting and to seal grout after installation. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer. | ||||||||||||
Installation Recommendations | Lay out material prior to installation to properly blend and balance color. Due to size variation, we recommend to shuffle thru tile or several boxes before installation. The application of a penetrating sealer is recommended in accordance with the sealer manufacturer's instructions to further enhance the durability of the tile. Note: Always perform a sample test on an inconspicuous area, before applying the sealer on an entire tiled surface. | ||||||||||||
Care Recommendations | Clean with mild cleanser and damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners. | ||||||||||||
How Much Extra Tile to Order | Industry standard recommends adding on 5-10% additional tile to the tile needed to account for waste, special cuts, or other unforeseen problems. This is particularly important in complex installations. Specially with diagonal patterns. |

So OpenMP would be considered a standard library and replace <threads>?
Phoronix: Many Features Proposed For C++14
C++14 is the next update for the C++ programming language. While slated as only a minor extension to C++11, there are several new features being proposed...
So OpenMP would be considered a standard library and replace <threads>?
No it will add not replace threads.
All I want is modules. Pls Herb. End the textual inclusion nightmare.
But I don't think modules will land this decade, if ever. Because adding a fifth parameter-passing method is more important than, say, not crashing whenever you throw an exception from a shared library. Who cares about modules or encapsulation or terrible copy-paste coding (sorry, "textual inclusion"), now you can have rvalue-references and a dozen standard optional random number generators!
having written high performance massively parallel software my experience with openMP is quite unimpressive. Gains are typically quite sub linear, more log-like. It's okay as a stop gap for trying to upgrade old non thread safe software. IMHO new vector unit technology can be dramatically faster. In my experience there are 2 levels of parallelization: instruction level. best left to vectorization techniques, and task level parallelism which is an issue of software design and not a coding problem.
Bah C++11 was awesome, but this C++14 list looks like it was writen by somebody who want to code Java. It is all extensions to the standard library that no one uses anyway. Yawn.
This depends very much on your algorithm. Most importantly how large the thread copying overhead is compared to the actualy workload of each thread and how much of your algorithm needs to be inside critical sections.
If you apply it to the outermost loops, with each loop iteration doing lots and lots of work with minimal critical sections, gains can be very close to linear, in my experience.
OpenMP is a wonderful, wonderful way to make software multi-threaded without major rewrites.
Agreed. We use it for stochastic simulations, where each path numerically solves a set of stochastic partial differential equations with different noises. The processes only need to communicate infrequently to average results. Speed up is basically linear up to at least 12 cores (unless you become limited by memory bandwidth issues).

Hollar deserves better
After reading the last two days letters to the editor section of The Times Argus, I, too, am dismayed and appalled by the display of venom exhibited toward Mayor Hollar. These writers, many of whom reside outside of Montpelier, have taken the opportunity to blast the mayor for his handling of a personnel matter and vilifying him for his association with corporate America. I wish theyd taken the time to get to know Mayor Hollar.
Having known John for many years, I can staunchly assert that this vibrant city is much better today than it was when I moved my family here 15 years ago, much of which stems from Johns influence and hard work at many levels. From his years chairing Montpeliers school board, John worked selflessly to make sure that every child had quality educational opportunities during tough economic times. He was always soliciting local opinion about how we could make our schools better with reduced funds from a declining student population. From there, John moved into his present role of mayor, and continued his role of community service, helping thrust the city into prominence as a destination for fresh food, recreation (bike-friendly designation) and the arts.
Finally, I would say to those cowardly writers who seem to make it so easy to send email bombs by just clicking send, take some time to get to know both sides of the story, and the people who work tirelessly to make our community a better place to live. Mayor Hollar deserves better.

Played by: Hayden Panettiere
Occupation: Country singer
Relationship status: Single
Get the hell out of her way, because Juliette Barnes is taking the country music world by storm and she doesn't care who she trods in with her cowboy boots in the process. The singer fled her home state of Alabama for Nashville, Tennessee only three years ago and has already become the #1 crossover artist in the country.
The ambitious ingenue certainly doesn't hold her tongue around country's reigning queen, Rayna James, and while there's not necessarily an excuse for her bitchy behavior, there just might be a reason behind it. While Juliette's adolescence was marked by her rise to fame and fortune, the young star all but raised herself, thanks to her absentee father and drug-abusing mom.

The thumping bass swelled as I swaggered up the flight of stairs at Canyon Lodge for Mammoth Mountain's opening weekend concert with RZA from the Wu Tang Clan.
The forum was lit like a disco, just dark enough to make everyone look sexy but with bright flashes keeping up with every quick beat. The crowd looked mostly young from where I stood at the bar, checking out the night's vibe.
I grabbed an overpriced pint and ponied myself up to front and center stage to investigate the room further. It was over 30 minutes after RZA was supposed to begin playing, and a DJ was still kicking off the night with drum and bass tempos that the audience was heating up to.
The weather outside was below freezing but the intense grind of the dance floor at the lodge sent the temperatures past comfortable—and most of the people dancing were dressed for a summer musical festival.
In fact a resemblance to Burning Man casually reflected the audience. I was able to pick out a man in a parrot costume, a life-sized teddy bear, and a girl wearing nothing other than flashing glow sticks.
It seemed I was at a rave. This was unexpected.
And all these bright-eyed spectators were being built up into a frenzy by the DJ's dub step beats as they awaited RZA in enthralling waves of Gangnam Style remixes.
At this early moment in the evening, one thing was quite evident; the energy in the building was fast approaching some immediate pinnacle. This climax was fueled by an audience already high from the excitement of Mammoth's opening weekend and the anticipation generated by this frenzy of partying locals and newcomers was sending waves of eager readiness across the room.
A dance party consumed the entirety of the crowd in this way and was only eventually stopped so the band could set up and the audience could get what they had originally come for. They could not have been higher at this point.
At a moment when either a fire or fight was about to break out, the band made its entrance. The ensemble came out dressed super-fab and went toward designated instruments, looking like they could fit into a band in any era between 1970 and now.
The music started onstage and an immediate soul beat spilt onto the hungry listeners. RZA's accompaniment included two singers, a bassist, a guitarist, a bongo player, a drummer, and a DJ. In a moment they had us all swooning and bouncing around awaiting the main acts.
The name of the game at these hip-hop shows is in the buildup and we were built up into near eruption. When RZA came out of the back and onto that stage, it was as if a god had arrived to save us all from our own debilitating anticipation. Take note that RZA and the Wu Tang Clan are masters of this practice and we immediately were eating out of his hand, chanting in command and following his every step.
RZA accompanied this holy entrance with a bottle of vodka which he took a massive sip from and told the crowd he wanted to share, passing it down into the first row and making its way from lip to lip, and finally to me as an empty bottle in only a matter of seconds. We repeated every line, every word, and every hand gesture we were told to, each succumbing to RZA's art of groupthink.
In this way the show was spectacular, but it was suspense more than spectacle that kept us enchanted. The key phrase RZA we echoed was, "if you're not having a good time, you're wasting your time."
I suppose I can't disagree with his logic.
He had us all on his command and if he said "Wu," we said "Tang," it was that simple. Looking back now, maybe it was more hypnosis than a performance, but who cares; there is no doubt the listeners had an incredible time. And I must say it was surprisingly fun to be a part of.
They opened with funky beats falling into soulful melodies and nearing the end of the show even played a rendition of "Come Together" by The Beatles. Arguably the musicians were more incredible than RZA, who is not the most masterful rapper in the hip-hop world and relies more on a few theatrics and pumping up the crowd than a versed talent in linguistics. But maybe that is just the skewing difference between artist and entertainer. Luckily, they played a long set for us, going into an encore with an ode to Old Dirty Bastard that the audience clearly enjoyed. All of which leads me to feel like we were not left shorted at the end of a night that had so much build-up.
A highly orchestrated finale signaled a fitting closing for a tired audience that had been bumping to music for nearly two hours. I headed to the roof to cool off, have a cigarette and take some notes on the show, hearing only sounds of satisfaction and enjoyment among the gathering.
Thanks for coming to Mammoth, RZA. You have made another fan.
