I've spent probably way too much time in my life thinking about blogging and trying to make this blog into something interesting for myself and for people who read it. Even though I know that the answer is to post interesting content somewhat regularly, I've wasted countless hours thinking about it and sifting through all of the nonsense about blogging that's posted online. I've realized a couple things about those online blogging tips:
- None of it is as helpful as the author thinks it is.
- No one that writes about blogging touches on how to write interesting content.
- I like to make things difficult on myself.
Some have a process. Some don't. But I thought it would be interesting to start posting their answers. I'll post one every Friday. (if you want to participate, just shoot me a note…I'd love to have more…)
This week, I thought I'd start it off with a friend of mine who is surely the most widely read blogger I know. Her name is Alex, and she blogs at Lateenough.com.
How does your typical blog post come to life?
Luck and organization.
The luck is recognizing that I just experienced, read or watched a good blog post. If I don't realize until the following day, the moment or the recollection can be lost.
The organization is how I document the experience. My iPhone is instrumental in my process. I take photos of the weird, wacky and beauty around me, which either serve as the foundation of a post or as a memory jog for when I can sit in front of my computer to write. I also use the voice memo app and recite the hilarious, interesting or pathetic conversation I just had with someone. I transcribe it days, weeks, months later to use as a blog post.
I also organize my writing time by first deciding what days I would post. Currently, I post Monday through Friday so I need to write Sunday through Thursday unless I'm having a writing bonanza day where I get multiple posts written for my blog.
This pretty much never happens because I also write 1-3 posts a week for other sites, I usually only have 1-4 hour time blocks to write, and I also can't, by nature, write 8 posts in row. If I get 2 written in a single time block, I'm having a creatively awesome day. Otherwise, I write the day before the post is due on my blog and a few days before the post is due for other websites.
As I cut back on some work over the last year, I was able to schedule in flex times for writing, which has been huge. My stress level is lower and my writing quality higher because if I'm not feeling creative or have to shift around writing time to fit in my life, I can.
I rarely, if ever, have all my possible writing times open so each week or two, I sit down with my calendar and write out my work hours and what work need to be done so everything has a time and place.
The more I blog, write and organize, the more I see the world forming around stories. Thus, the luck of finding stories grows with practice. But I can't always see my world in blog form because I miss out on living it.
I turn off my iPhone more today than ever. And I'm a better blogger for it.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Supreme Court today ruled Oklahoma based Hobby Lobby will not have to cover so-called abortion inducing drugs mandated for coverage under the Affordable Health Care Act.
The Supreme Court handed down their decision Monday morning, saying, in essence, Hobby Lobby is exempt thanks to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
It's a huge decision, one which will likely set the precedent for numerous cases to come.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said, "They were literally living out their faith, living out their convictions through their company."
The U.S. Supreme Court said the Green family, owners of Hobby Lobby, can continue to do so.
Pruitt said, "I'm just glad the cause of the first amendment, religious liberty, won out."
The court ruled in a 5-4 decision Hobby Lobby and two other companies can be exempt from the contraceptive mandate within the Affordable Health Care Act.
The Green family released statement on YouTube, saying, in part, "We are truly thankful for a decision which allows us to continue operating our family business according to our principles."
The Supreme Court in their decision wrote that the decision applies to companies which are "closely held," owned and operated by a single family.
Tamya Cox, with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, said, "We don't know how many people this is going to affect."
While Planned Parenthood is disappointed with the decision, they say it does not mean women will not have access to birth control.
Cox said, "We definitely think it's important to know this case did not strike down all of the birth control mandate from the ACA."
Attorney General Scott Pruitt says this decision is not only big for the Green family, but for religious freedom throughout the country.
He said, "Here the court said something I think that is very consistent with the history of the first amendment, it's not a freedom of worship that is protected, it's your ability to act out your faith in the public square."
The court was very specific that the ruling applies to those closely held corporations, not companies which are publicly traded.

Cory Monteith and Matthew Morrison on NeNe Leakes and Michael Jackson — Wetpaint Exclusive!
Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) may be a HUGE fan of the Real Housewives, but a couple of her Glee co-stars seem a bit less engaged with the franchise. Wetpaint Entertainment ran into Cory Monteith (Finn) and Matthew Morrison (Will) at the Fox party at the Television Critics Association gathering earlier this month.
Asked about the still-to-come storyline with Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes, Matthew admitted that when he first heard about it, "I didn't know who NeNe was. I don't watch reality TV."
After we pretty much fell on the floor at that revelation, Matthew politely waited for us to get up before continuing, "The kids really wanted her to be on. Everyone was so excited. I've yet to meet her, but I hear she's great. She plays an arch-nemesis of Sue Sylvester. They're both coaches."
Cory, on the other hand, couldn't wait to talk about tonight's Michael Jackson tribute episode. "You can't have grown up in the 1980s like I did without Michael Jackson being a large part of what your musical life was," he said.
Cory says the first Michael Jackson song to make an impression on him was "Bad" — a song that will be covered by the New Directions and the Warblers in the upcoming episode. "I still remember seeing the music video," said Cory, "it just floored me because it was so awesome."
As for his second favorite number of the entire season so far? That would be the Michael Jackson duet he just filmed with Lea: "I can't tell you what it was. I wish I could. It's incredible." (Lucky for us, we already have have the leaked set list!)
Matthew Morrison was equally enthusiastic about the upcoming MJ episode: "This is my favorite tribute episode. I wasn't that into Madonna or Britney Spears. This tribute was awesome."
So what is Matthew's favorite MJ song? That would the Michael classic, "Beat It." "It was popular when I was in elementary school. It was a great song, and it brought me to the Michael Jackson world."

A former official of the Taylor administration has called for the establishment of a War Crime Tribunal in Liberia to persecute individuals who participated in the Liberian civil crises. Former Maritime Commissioner Benoni Urey vowed to be the first to face the tribunal if established in Liberia.
"I want to be the first to voluntarily face a tribunal court in Liberia to exonerate myself of all allegations people claim they have on me at the Liberia Maritime Authority," he said.
Urey said those who brought the war on Liberians should be prosecuted by the court when established, noting that it was about time for Liberians to understand the planners and perpetrators of the war, as well as the suffering of the people of Liberia by facing the tribunal in Liberia.
According to him, his call is against the backdrop of allegations of financial support for the purchase of arms for former President Taylor and corruption at the Liberia Maritime Authority.
This is the first time for Urey to publicly support the establishment of a war crime court in Liberia. Special Court for Sierra Leone Chief Prosecutor, Brenda Hollis in 2010, disclosed that the United Nations Security Council may consider the establishment of a Special Court for Liberia.
Hollis, a national of the United States was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone from February 16, 2010. She replaced Stephen Rapp; Hollis was a Senior Trial Attorney at the Special Court.

Jerzy Janowicz can make Wimbledon semi-finals, says Barry Cowan
Barry Cowan reckons Jerzy Janowicz and Ernests Gulbis can gatecrash the latter stages of Wimbledon.
Last Updated: 29/06/13 5:01pm
Dimitrov has got better and better this year - even though he was beaten pretty convincingly by Novak Djokovic in the third round of the French Open - so his five-set defeat was one of the biggest disappointments of day five.
Grigor has got plenty of talent and is more than a match for some of the great players - Ivan Lendl said earlier this year that the best set of tennis he'd seen this season was the one between Andy Murray and Dimitrov in the final of the Brisbane International, which the Brit edged 7-6 - but he hasn't yet done it on the biggest stage.
Jerzy Janowicz has, though; he made the final of the Paris Masters last November, before losing to David Ferrer, and I was extremely impressed by the manner of the Pole's 7-6 6-3 6-4 victory over Nicolas Almagro on Friday.
Janowicz, whose cause I have been campaigning for some time, has so much going for him, not just in his game but from a personality point of view as well.
And with the way the draw has opened up he has a real opportunity to make the semi-finals, where he could meet Murray.
It has been quite a while since a youngster outside the top eight has surged through into the semis or final of a Grand Slam but it could be Janowicz's time - or Ernests Gulbis'.
Gulbis, who plays Fernando Verdasco on Saturday, doesn't lack self-belief - his recent comments about the top four being boring and him being the best player outside the top 32 seeds show that - and there is no guarantee that if he plays Murray in the quarter-finals the Scot will win.
It's a shame that the two people that beat Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, Serhiy Stakhovsky and Steve Darcis, did not progress beyond the next round; Darcis had to pull out with a shoulder injury, while Stakhovsky lost to Jurgen Melzer.
The latter's defeat proves just how much it takes out of you physically and mentally to beat one of the top four, and explains why the likes of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Tomas Berdych and Del Potro find it hard to win a Grand Slam: they generally have to overcome three of Federer, Nadal, Murray and Novak Djokovic in succession.
However, it also shows that in tennis rankings don't lie; Stakhovsky did wonderfully to beat Federer and Michelle Larcher de Brito did excellently to oust Maria Sharapova, but they were eventually downed by higher-placed opponents in Melzer and Karin Knapp respectively.
Rankings didn't lie as Murray knocked out Tommy Robredo on Friday evening in very impressive fashion; everything is working in his game at the moment - he is moving well, winning convincingly and looks mentally strong - but Djokovic, who plays Jeremy Chardy today, is not at his best.
However, Djokovic is a master of playing as well as he needs to and he should get few scares from Chardy, as grass is not the Frenchman's favourite surface; he can serve big and hit huge forehands, but he is very in-and-out and in-and-out players don't tend to beat Novak.
Laura Robson, meanwhile, will meet New Zealand's Marina Erakovic after beating Mariana Duque-Marino on Centre Court on Friday, a result the Brit can be very proud of.
Laura was always going to play worse against Duque-Marino than she did in her first round against Maria Kirilenko, as she tends to play better when she is the underdog, but she handled the pressure well and coped with the wobbly periods.
I think it is good that she is now on Court Two as she will be able to go about her business a bit more quietly and I would expect her ball striking, which is second to none, to get her through.

Marina Erakovic has beaten third seed and world No27 Taiwanese player Su-Wei Hsieh 6-2 6-2 in the first round of the US$235,000 WTA Pattaya tournament in Thailand.
The Aucklander is using the tournament to prepare for the upcoming Fed Cup tournament in Kazakhstan and says it was a good win, especially against a player who she hadn't faced for a long time.
"I felt like both of us started a little nervous because it was a first round," Erakovic said. "But, you know, I really tried to play aggressive and get used to the conditions and the court, and I think I did really well today, so I'm happy with myself.
"I played Su-Wei a long, long time ago at an ITF tournament in California so I really didn't know what to expect. I know she's a very tricky player and has some great shots, so I knew that I had to be really alert out there."
Next up in the second round for Erakovic is Thai wildcard Varatchaya Wongteanchai. The Kiwi will team with Brith, Heather Watson in the doubles where they are the second seeds.

Unselfishness plays a special role in business
There once were two brothers whose father had died and left them the family farm. One was married and had a large family to support. The other was single. The will designated that the two brothers would share everything equally.
One day the single brother said to himself, "It's not right that we should share equally. I'm alone and my needs are simple." So every night he took a sack of grain from his bin and secretly dumped it into his brother's bin.
Meanwhile, the married brother said to himself, "It's not right that we should share the produce and the farm's profit equally. After all, I am married and I will have my wife and grown children to look after me in the years ahead. My brother has no one." So each night he took a sack of grain and dumped it secretly into his single brother's bin.
For years both men were puzzled as to why their personal supply of grain never dwindled. Then one dark night the two brothers bumped into each other and it suddenly dawned on them what had been happening.

(The following is a reformatted version of a press release issued by Relational Investors LLC and received via electronic mail. The release was confirmed by the sender.) RELATIONAL INVESTORS LLC AND CALSTRS QUESTION TIMKEN BOARD'S WILLINGNESS TO ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF ALL SHAREHOLDERS FOLLOWING MEETING WITH BOARD MEMBERS Timken Family-Influenced Board Continues to REBUT Investment Community Consensus To Separate Company's Two Core Businesses And Eliminate The Stock's Long-Standing "Conglomerate" Discount Relational and CalSTRS Urge Shareholders To VOTE FOR CalSTRS' Proxy Proposal To Unlock Shareholder Value At Timken By Separating The Company's Steel And Bearings Businesses And Having Them Trade Independently San Diego, April 2, 2013 -- Relational Investors LLC ("Relational") and the California State Teachers' Retirement System ("CalSTRS"), collectively owners of 7.28% of the shares of The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR) ("Timken" or "the Company"), called into question the ability of the family-influenced Board of Directors to act in the best interest of all of the Company's shareholders following today's meeting at the Company's Canton, Ohio headquarters. The Board is unwilling to separate Timken's Steel and Bearings businesses to unlock shareholder value and continues to support the Company's "conglomerate" structure which impairs its stock price. Anne Sheehan, director of Corporate Governance at CalSTRS, commented, "Timken's Board invited CalSTRS to meet with representatives of management and the Board today. The meeting followed the filing of our February 27, 2013 shareholder presentation. From the outset, we have tried to work with the Board to unlock the Company's inherent value for all shareholders through the separate public trading of Timken's Steel and Bearings businesses. It is clear that there is consensus in the investment community supporting this initiative based on published analyst reports, calls with the Company's investors, and Timken's stock price. Nevertheless, the Board has consistently turned a blind eye to what the marketplace is saying." Ralph Whitworth, founder and principal of Relational, said, "Despite Timken's preempting today's meeting with a press release yesterday, we hoped that at today's meeting Timken's management and Board would finally understand the powerful value proposition that flows from the overwhelmingly compelling and detailed case we have presented to create value through two separately traded companies. Instead, while the meeting was cordial, we met with the same amorphous arguments and faulty math that has characterized the company's response all along. Fortunately, the shareholders will have the opportunity to speak on May 7th by voting on CalSTRS' proposal to split the company's shares between the Bearings and Steel businesses." "Since November 15, 2012, shortly before Relational and CalSTRS filed their Schedule 13D advocating the separation of Timken's Steel and Bearings businesses, Timken's stock price has outperformed its peers by 41%, or over $15 per share. Timken's Board must know that if it maintains the Company's conglomerate structure rather than separating its businesses as recommended, that it is likely that the price of Timken's shares will fall precipitously." Specific Reponses to Timken's Flawed Math and Amorphous Arguments: Timken contends that separating Bearings and Steel will result in a significant loss of synergies between the businesses. · Timken's synergies analysis is, however, highly flawed and contrived. It does not reflect the clear opportunity to mitigate dis-synergies as Timken's closest competitor, SKF, did so successfully following the separation of its bearings and steel businesses. Indeed the mid-point of Timken's projected dis-synergies of $6-8 per share is no more than $2.65 per share higher than what we projected in our conservative analysis. There is ample opportunity to mitigate this incremental dis-synergy through normal and customary supply arrangements. Timken contends that Relational's sum-of-the-parts estimate far exceeds the median of analyst calculations. · Timken, however, intentionally uses many analyst sum-of-the-parts valuations from November and December of last year, which are way out-of-date. The three 2013 valuations that Timken does include average $66, an 18% increase from the current stock price, and that is after substantial excess price performance since we announced our split initiative. Timken contends that the peer group Relational uses is too narrow. · A broader peer group analysis does not however materially change Timken's share price discount, nor does it change our conclusion that separation will enhance Timken's shareholder value. Timken should know that broadening the peer group to include, for example, Japanese companies is inappropriate because their margins, geography, and products are not appropriately comparable. Timken contends that its diversification benefits shareholders. · Timken, however, uses its three-year share price performance to justify its conglomerate business strategy. They unfairly include Timken's outperformance against its peers since November 28th when Relational and CalSTRS announced their plan to push for a separation. Of course, shareholders do not need Timken's Board to "diversify" for them; they are perfectly willing and, in fact, prefer to select "pure-play" investments and set weightings to suit their specific objectives. The significant discount investors apply to Timken's stock reflects the market's clear preference for pure-play steel or bearings alternatives. The irony of this argument is that diversification actually causes the discount! Timken contends that they practice strong corporate governance. · The Timken Family, however, holds 3 of 11 Board seats; the $9M compensation received by executive Chairman Ward Timken, Jr., is grossly out-of-line with other executive chairmen in Timken's peer group; the Company's pay-for-performance scheme received a "D" rating in 2012 from Glass Lewis, a prominent independent shareholder advisory service; and the Board has a history of ignoring proposals receiving a majority vote; the Board has long been unwilling to thoughtfully consider maximizing long-term shareholder value through a separation. Shareholders have every reason to demand that the Timken Board stop hiding behind wrong assertions and act in the best interests of all Timken shareholders. We urge shareholders to VOTE FOR the CalSTRS proxy proposal to unlock shareholder value through the separation of Timken's Steel and Bearings businesses. For more information about the value-enhancing potential of CalSTRS' proposal, please visit www.UnlockTimken.com. SHAREHOLDER PRESENTATION On February 28, 2013, Relational and CalSTRS filed a comprehensive presentation for Timken shareholders entitled: "Why a Separation of Timken's Steel and Bearings Businesses Can Unlock Significant Shareholder Value" (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/98362/000110465913015663 /a13-). The presentation demonstrates the financial and operational logic of CalSTRS' shareholder proxy proposal, which would enable Timken shareholders to vote for separating the two businesses.

premiered the track, says of the band and song: "Singer Rabia Qazi coos like an ever-so-slightly smoothed Janis Joplin, and project mastermind Chris Cheveyo has a compositional ear that swirls the Doors, the Band, and Black Sabbath up beautifully in big old soup pot with flavors plucked from vintage Middle Eastern psychedelia.

What People Are Saying About Rose Windows:
"A blend of nuanced and ballsy psychedelic folk-rock that takes its cues from Earth, Black Sabbath, Tinariwen, and the storied history of delta blues. With a vintage organ weaving up and down like a massive snake, they pile on burned-out guitars, bits of rambling bass, a little flute, and some soul-shattering-ly intense vocals" ["Native Dreams"] - Consequence of Sound
"This tasty little piece of grunge psychedelia is the first teaser from Rose Windows' forthcoming debut LP, The Sun Dogs... "Native Dreams" is an expansive, futuristic, long-playing howler and the most recent reason why 2013 already sounds better than its predecessor." ["Native Dreams"] - Seattle Weekly
"This incredibly lush highlight kicks off with a hail of bells and keys, and quickly expands into a barefoot orchestra's worth of instrumentation and groove.

The genesis of
Rose Windows
started Fall 2010 in a house in Seattle's Central District, where
Chris Cheveyo
found himself tiring of the limited palette of his prior heavy post-rock project. Though interested in new sonic possibilities, he was turned off by experimental music's lazy reliance on "knob-turning." His explorations became less about possibilities associated with new technology and more about studying various avenues of the past. The project began with a few rough demos done alone at home and slowly began to take shape as the band amassed members. Band-mates were mainly musician friends who wandered through the house.
Rabia Shaheen Qazi's
enchanting and exotic voice was the first component added to the fray. Roommate
David Davila
was asked to play piano and organ. Former bandmates
Nils Petersen
Pat Schowe
were enlisted for electric guitar and drums. Frequent houseguests
Richie Rekow
Veronica Dye
were brought on board for bass and flute.
Rose Windows
began playing out, fluidly sharing the stage with underground art-metal bands one night and popular indie Americana acts the next.
Label-less at the time,
Rose Windows
began making plans for recording
The Sun Dogs
in November of 2011. The band sought out local producer
Randall Dunn
based on his past success in harnessing the electric power of SunnO))) and Boris, the bleak twang of Earth, and the shamanistic acid-trips of Master Musicians of Bukkake. Dunn's penchant for musical anthropology proved the perfect match for the band, with their mutual curiosity and artistic ambition broadening the scope of the album. Other local musicians were brought on board to add harp, pedal steel, viola, and cello. Dynamics were expanded. Boundaries were pushed.
The Sun Dogs
is an album based on the idea of sifting through the past, extracting bits and pieces, and re-imagining these into new forms. It's about observing and building upon musical traditions. Thematically,
The Sun Dogs
as being about "the everyday blues that capitalism and its hit man, religion, bring on all of us." More specifically, he sees
The Sun Dogs
as an acknowledgment of the circular nature of the rat race, learning to accept the evil in the world, taking joy wherever we can, and ultimately disavowing traditions of exploitation and violence. That search for finding light in the dark is perfectly captured in the album opener "
The Sun Dogs I: Spirit Modules
," as the ominous verses uncoil into beautifully lush string arrangements and vocal harmonies. "
Native Dreams
" displays the band's affinity for both exotic melodies and bold distorted guitar riffs, all while
describes the encroachment of one culture upon another by singing of "spirit warriors" surrounding a sleeping camp. "
Walkin' With a Woman
" conjures the old blues tale of encountering the devil at the crossroads while culling motifs from classic psych and prog records. Songs like "
Heavenly Days
" and "
Season of Serpents
" offer a counterpoint to the foreboding moments on
The Sun Dogs
, with folk-steeped guitars, gentle pedal steel, and graceful choruses painting a picture of those moments of joy and grace in the midst of the world's evil. These moments of respite make the foreign melodies, menacing mysticism, and blown-out riffs on songs like "
This Shroud
" all the more disquieting. But ultimately "
The Sun Dogs II: Coda
" ends the album with a ray of light, with the alternating major and minor chords on acoustic guitar, lilting piano lines, "Kashmir"-esque strings, and full-band vocal harmonies burning off the gloom.
Rose Windows
have already toured the West Coast several times, and with the release of
The Sun Dogs
, the band plans much more. In the meantime, they continue their search—delving into archives of long-lost albums, learning more about their craft from renowned local musicians, and charting their own path in an ancient art.

If Iran continues with its nuclear-weapons program, and Israel takes the decision to strike before the ayatollahs acquire an actual bomb, what would be the likely timing of an Israeli action?
We have asked that question here before, and noted that Iran was acquiring long-range, highly advanced surface-to-air missiles, the Russian SA-20, that would greatly complicate an aerial assault. Since the missiles will start becoming operational this fall, Israel would be under pressure to act before or around that time.
An additional factor in the Israeli calculation might well be the U.S. elections. The Israelis would have good reason to believe that the U.S. under George W. Bush would be more supportive of their action than either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, both of whom might have serious reservations about the use of force.
John McCain, who has said that the only thing worse than a U.S. strike on Iran would be an Iran in possession of nuclear weapons, would obviously be more sympathetic to Israel's position. But the Israelis can hardly count on his victory in the presidential contest. Waiting until after the U.S. elections would seem to add risk to risk.
Which brings us to the news that Israel's security cabinet yesterday authorized the distribution of gas masks to its entire population. The last such distribution came just before the U.S. attack on Iraq four years ago.
What does the decision mean?

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 19 July 2012 11:05AM
The food company has contacted a number of agencies ahead of a pitch for the business, which is currently handled by Skive.
Skive created Aero's recent social media campaign "AeroMail", which aimed to raise awareness of the new Aero bar.
AeroMail allowed consumers to "spread the bubbliness" by sending an uplifting message to their friends using a digital balloon on Facebook. Each message generated a sample bar.
Other agencies that work on Aero include JWT London and DDFH&B.
Last year, Nestle unveiled a £4 million advertising campaign, created by DDFH&B, to support the launch of an Aero-branded biscuit that was aimed at women.
In January 2011, Nestle reintroduced its Aero Caramel brand with a claimed new and improved recipe. It was supported by a campaign called "bubble-speak", which was also created by DDFH&B.
JWT created the 2009 "feel the bubbles" spot in which a skateboarder navigates a sea of bubbles. The agency is unaffected by the digital review.

Makurdi residents have resolved to pray for God's intervention concerning the security challenges facing the country instead of relying on leaders in 2013.
Our correspondent, who went round Makurdi, reports that the people were optimistic that their security comes from God and that God would save the country from all insecurity and other problems next year.
"Our security is in the hands of the Lord, we would go to him, cry to him, petition him, and appeal to him for the forgiveness of the sins of Nigeria, we know our God, He would never let us down.
"We would serve God wholeheartedly from tomorrow (January 1, 2013) so that He would intervene in our security challenges in the country. We would pray so that God will change the minds of our leaders and they would fulfil their promises", they said.
Mr. Macikpah Ata of AT-JAY collection Makurdi said God would take all the glory for all his wonderful works in 2012 while Mr. Terhide Anede said he had resolved to be more committed to God's work in 2013 due to his wonderful works in his life and that of the state in 2012. (NAN)

In the future, if sequencing becomes extremely fast and cheap, it might make sense to discard sequencing data after analysis and leave DNA in its original format for storage. That said, if the colony of (bacteria/yeast/whatever you are maintaining your library in) that you happen to pick when you grow up a new batch to maintain the cell line happened to pick up a mutation in your gene of interest, you won't know until you sequence it again. I'm a graduate student in a small academic lab and if I want to "access my stored gene data" in the way you suggest, I need to: 1) Grow an overnight culture from my freezer stock of E. coli carrying a plasmid with my gene of interest inserted in it. 2) Isolate the plasmid DNA. 3) Take a reading on a spectrometer to determine DNA concentration. 4) Prepare a sample for sequencing at the concentration the Core Facility prefers. 5) Fill out an order form for sequencing. 6) Walk the sample over to the Core Facility. 7) Wait 1 to 3 days to get my sequence data back. I can pull up the FASTA file I have from the last time I got this gene sequenced in about 15 seconds.

YOU might as well go out in style. At least that's the philosophy of researchers controlling NASA's Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous spacecraft, also known as NEAR-Shoemaker. On 12 February they will let the dying craft fall onto the surface of asteroid 433 Eros, the lump of rock it has been waltzing around since last Valentine's Day.
Launched in 1996, NEAR has spent the past year orbiting the potato-shaped rock, which measures roughly 33 by 13 by 13 kilometres and is currently more than 300 million kilometres from Earth between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. In that time NEAR has returned hundreds of thousands of pictures, and reams of other data that have transformed researchers' understanding of asteroids.
At first, says Andrew Cheng, a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, they had expected Eros to be a collection of many boulders and rocks loosely ...

Pam Roberts -- October 2004 -- Disneyland (Offsite)
Main Players:
Guest Appearances
The Plan
We renewed our Disneyland annual passes during our trip in May 2004, so this was our 2nd trip of the year (we like to maximize our savings!). We know the fall is a good time to visit the resort, for both the weather and the crowds, plus the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay would be up - yeah! We also found out that my mother-in-law (Doris) would be on leave from her job in Canada during this time, so this trip would serve as a family reunion as well as give us a fun place to play for a few days.
As usual, I made reservations at the Anaheim Del Sol Inn on Harbor Blvd. (a 5-minute walk from the parks, total for 3 nights = $210). Sarah decided to try a new place, and ended up staying 2 nights over on Katella (Ramada Plaza Anaheim, I think, but I don't remember for sure) and then 1 night at the Park Vue Inn on Harbor. Doris was in her 5th wheel, and stayed at the Anaheim RV Park a few blocks away. The others all live near San Diego, and would commute to the parks.
As for transportation, I booked our airfare on Southwest Airlines from Sacramento to Orange County ($283), plus made reservations with Super Shuttle for travel to/from the motel. Everyone else would be driving from various places.
Finally, I went to Lemoore Naval Air Station to buy passes for Rod and Doris (the rest of us are APers)…a 5-day pass for Rod ($100) and a 2-day pass for Doris ($58), which they both ended up upgrading to APs during their visit. We were all set and ready for fun!
Saturday, October 30, 2004
I got up at 8am, and James followed at 9am. We did our last-minute preparations, including food, water, and clean litter boxes for our kitty Cyrus, and we were out the door by 10:30am. We parked in the economy lot at the Sacramento airport and took a shuttle to the terminal. At the check-in line, we used a kiosk for the first-time (which was fairly easy to use) and then proceeded to security. I made it through easily, but James was pulled aside to be wanded due to the back brace he was wearing. He decided that on future trips, he would pull it off to go through the machine and avoid the hassle!
I had some yogurt from TCBY ($4) and James read the local newspaper while we waited to board the plane. As usual, the flight was uneventful and we landed a few minutes early. We stopped off at the baggage claim area to get our suitcase and then proceeded over to the shuttle area. Our trip to our motel with Super Shuttle ($23 with tip) was smooth on this lovely Saturday afternoon!
We checked into our motel around 2:45pm and called Sarah on her cell phone to touch base; they were stuck in traffic but not far away so we told her to come over once they had checked into their motel down the street. Doris called us a few minutes later from the RV park, so we gave her directions and asked her to come on over as well.
Once we had all gathered together and greeted one another, we drove up Harbor Blvd. to the El Torito Restaurant in Fullerton. We had an ok meal ($84 with tip after 10% AAA discount), and then drove across the street to the Disney's Character Warehouse Outlet store. My damages were $35 (after the 10% Chamber of Commerce discount coupon found via MouseSavers.com), which I thought was pretty good! On the way back to the motel, Doris stopped at a gas station and we got some water for the room ($4). Rod, Sarah, and Molly drove back to their motel and Doris took us back to ours. We watched some of Monsters, Inc. on the Disney Channel while waiting for Carol, Bruce, and Jessica to arrive (Jessica had a photo shoot in Anaheim earlier in the evening). Rod, Sarah, and Molly re-joined us and we all walked down to the street to watch the fireworks. Afterwards everyone went their separate ways, and we were in bed by 11pm.
Sunday, October 31, 2004 (Halloween)
Daylight Savings Time ended this morning, so even though the clock said 7:30am, it was really 8:30am to our bodies when the alarm went off. It was nice to have the extra hour of sleep back! Breakfast consisted of Pop-Tarts, fruit, toast, and cereal, and we left the room at 8:40am. Doris drove in as we were walking through the parking lot, so we waited for her to park. Unfortunately, she had lost her cell phone sometime since the previous evening. We helped her search her truck and our motel room but had no luck finding it.
Eventually we gave up, headed on over to Disneyland Park (DLP), and were through the turnstiles by 9am. James and I waited for Doris to visit the powder room and ATM, and then we all walked over to rent a locker off of Main Street ($6). We proceeded down Main Street to Fantasyland and were at Peter Pan's Flight by 9:15am. After our quick flight to Neverland, we rode Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Alice in Wonderland. When we were getting off of Alice, Rod called to say that they were on Main Street. We agreed to meet outside of Peter Pan's Flight, so we walked back there to wait for them. Finally the rest of the family showed up, with our sweet Molly dressed as Princess Jasmine for the day!
Everyone except Doris rode Peter Pan's Flight, and then we all walked over to ride the Storybook Land Canal Boats together (the 10 of us filled up the Flora boat completely!). Ryan, Jessica, and Molly rode the Mad Tea Party (Tea Cups) while the rest of us got dizzy just watching. Some of the group decided to do some shopping in the Mad Hatter, where Ryan bought Jessica a furry white hat. While waiting, James decided to put some suntan lotion on his face and hands, and TweedleDee and TweedleDum walked up and mimicked him behind his back while the rest of us cracked up!
Molly really wanted to ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant, so everyone besides Ryan and James joined her for a quick whirl. After taking some pictures of Jessie and Molly in the nearby stationary Dumbo vehicle, we walked over to check out the line for the Indiana Jones Adventure. There was a long queue, so we hung out by the Frontierland Shootin' Exposition while Rod, Bruce, and James spent a few quarters shootin' some varmints and Molly got autographs and hugs nearby from Woody and Jessie.
By now we were starting to get hungry, so we walked over to Rancho del Zocalo for some lunch. James and I enjoyed a BBQ beef sandwich, bean burrito, and root beer. We used Ryan's Premium AP discount to save a couple of bucks too! After satisfying our hunger pains, everyone (except Carol and Bruce) rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (BTMRR) together. This was Molly's first trip on such a big roller coaster, but she had a blast riding "the wildest ride in the wilderness" in the safety of her daddy's mine car!
Carol and I hiked over to Haunted Mansion Holiday (HMH) to get FastPasses (FPs) for the group, while everyone else waited for the Mark Twain Riverboat. We rejoined everyone onboard, and found Molly up in the Pilot House steering us through the attraction! She was so excited - it was a huge moment for her (and her proud parents!).
After we disembarked, we walked over to ride Pirates of the Caribbean (PotC) - another scary first for Molly. She had been singing the song for weeks and was really looking forward to the ride, but she is also scared of the dark so this was quite the challenge for her. We all emerged unscathed, so Carol, Molly and I walked over to get FPs for Splash Mountain while everyone else hung out in the little park area in New Orleans Square.
When we were all together again, we used our FPs to ride HMH - still another challenge for Molly, but she was brave! After HMH, we walked over to Critter Country and rode The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which Molly loved. The Pooh characters were hosting their meet & greet, so we all waited for Molly to get their autographs, plus Jessica posed for pictures with Molly and Eeyore (Jessie's favorite) as well.
Our FP window was open for Splash, so we all got in line. There were 10 of us and we were able to completely fill 2 logs just with us. Molly, Jessica, Ryan, Carol and Bruce rode in the first log and Doris, Sarah, Rod, James and I rode in the second log. I bought the pictures for both logs ($44 after Ryan's AP discount), even though there was a shadow across Molly's face and Ryan had ducked his head down in the first picture! Molly really loved this ride as it turned out, as did her dad (although it was hard to tell from his expression in the picture).
We still hadn't been on Indy yet, so we walked over to check out the queue. It was manageable, so the brave ones (Rod, Sarah, Jessica, Ryan, James & I) rode while everyone else checked out Tarzan's Treehouse and Jungle Cruise. We met up again and walked down Main Street towards the exit, with a quick stop along the way at the lockers.
We made our way over to DCA, and got FPs for Soarin' Over California. Then we walked over to Grizzly River Rapids (GRR) and waited while Sarah, Rod, Molly and Jessica got wet on the attraction. After they were finished, we all walked over to enjoy the Muppet Vision 3-D show (their pre-show is just hilarious!). We grabbed FPs for Tower of Terror (ToT), and then walked over to ride Soarin' together (except Bruce, who decided to sit this one out).
We were starting to get hungry, so we made plans for dinner: Bruce took Molly over to our motel room for a quick nap while Doris and Carol walked over to Saga Pizza (at the Ramada Saga Inn on Harbor) to get dinner (pizza, chicken wings, and soda) for everyone. In the meantime, the remaining brave ones (Rod, Sarah, Jessica, Ryan, James & I) rode ToT with our FPs. We managed to all get in the front row, and I bought the picture ($13 after Ryan's AP discount). After we had safely returned to the ground, James went back over to DLP to clear out our locker and then re-joined all of us for dinner at our motel.
After dinner, Doris, Carol, Bruce, Jessica, and Ryan left for the evening and Molly changed into her Cinderella costume (so cute!). We headed back to DCA and hung out in Disney Animation to kill time before Disney's Electrical Parade (DEP) began. Molly had a good time dancing around the lobby to the Disney tunes and then we went through the Sorcerer's Workshop into the Beast's Library. We tried our hand to find out which character we were most like (I was Belle and Sarah was Ariel) and also tried some karaoke in Ursula's Kingdom (we were pretty bad!).
It was almost time for the DEP so we headed over towards the parade route. Rod, Sarah, and Molly were still a little hungry and stopped along the way for a hot dog, chili cheese fries, and soda from Award Wieners. We enjoyed the parade and then exited DCA as it was now closed.
Rod, Sarah, and Molly wanted to go back into DLP so we said good night and walked over to the lockers located to the left of DLP's entrance. Carol had rented one here earlier and not cleaned it out yet, so we took care of that for them and headed back to our motel. I updated our trip notes and we were in bed by 11:30pm. A long, but fun, day!
Monday, November 1, 2004
The alarm went off at 8:30am and we were out the door by 10am after a breakfast of Pop-Tarts and pretzels (hey, we were on vacation!). Doris had just driven into the parking lot, so we joined up and walked over to the parks. We decided to get a locker outside (to the left of DLP's entrance = $6), and we were through the DLP turnstiles by 10:30am. To our surprise, the Christmas tree was up and decorated in Town Square! It was simply gorgeous, and we marveled at how quickly the staff could accomplish things overnight.
We walked into Fantasyland and rode Snow White's Scary Adventures, Pinocchio's Daring Journey, the King Arthur Carrousel and Alice in Wonderland with practically no waits for any of them. We then walked over to Toontown to ride Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin and James rode with his mother so I could spin the vehicle (they both get motion sickness more easily and chose to ride together instead of with me - go figure!).
We called Sarah, Rod, and Molly - they were just checking into the Park Vue Motel so we made plans to meet at the IHOP across the street on Harbor. We got on the Disneyland Railroad at the Toontown station and rode all the way over to the Main Street station before disembarking and exiting the park.
After a tasty brunch (hamburger and pancake combo for us = $23), we took our leftovers to our respective refrigerators and then walked over to DCA. We decided to pose for pictures in front of the big fountain and CM Melissa was kind enough to take them for us with each of our cameras!
We walked over to see It's Tough to be a Bug, and put Sarah and Molly at the end of the aisle - JUST IN CASE. If you've ever seen this show, you know what I'm talking about! Sure enough, Molly freaked during the show and left early with Sarah. Afterwards, we met up and headed over to see the 2:25pm showing of Disney's Aladdin-A Musical Spectacular! Ryan, Jessica, and Clayton joined us while we were waiting in the queue, and we had good seats together in the Orchestra section (front part). The Genie was very funny (as always), but the flying carpet wasn't working for some unknown reason (boo!).
After the show we walked over to check out the Mission Tortilla Factory and The Boudin Bakery tours (and enjoy our free samples) and then meandered over towards the Paradise Pier area. Sarah, Rod, Ryan and Clayton rode California Screamin' while Molly, Jessica, and I rode King Triton's Carousel twice. We kept strolling along the 'Boardwalk' - Ryan won a little stuffed pink 'Nemo' fish for Molly and Sarah bought some cotton candy. When we got to the Sun Wheel, James, Doris, Jessica, Molly, Ryan, and Clayton rode while I sat on a bench with all of our gear (Rod and Sarah had kept walking for a bit).
We all met up over by Mulholland Madness (MM), which Jessica, Ryan, and Clayton rode while James, Doris, Molly, and I rode Jumpin' Jellyfish. Then we switched around and Doris, Molly, and I rode MM while Ryan, Jess, and Clayton walked over to ride ToT. Molly just loved MM, so she and I rode it a second time. I like to scream with every curve on that ride - and so did Molly! However, two times in a row is about all I can handle (oh, my aching bones!).
I needed a breather, so we headed out of DCA via the Grand Californian Hotel (GCH). We were all very impressed with the lobby, and checked it out on our way back towards DLP. I stopped to get our jackets from the locker along the way, while Rod and Doris got in line for the ticket windows to upgrade their tickets to Annual Passes. When they were done, we headed on into the park. We had just missed the train so we hoofed it over to Tomorrowland instead. Sarah, Molly, and I rode Star Tours (ST) while Rod and Doris headed to the passport center to get their AP photos and James just hung out (not a big ST fan).
We were supposed to watch the 7pm Parade of the Stars with Ryan, Jessie, and Clayton, but Jessie had a bad headache and they decided to go home. We said our goodbyes and the rest of us stayed to watch the parade from the hub. Rod was kind enough to buy us all churros (yum!), and we enjoyed them during the parade. Afterwards, we walked over to ride the Jungle Cruise aboard the Nile Princess, and then crisscrossed back over to Tomorrowland to ride Autopia. While waiting for everyone else, I decided to do a little souvenir shopping at Star Traders ($35) and Autopia's Winner Circle (another $24 - eek!). Maybe I should have gone on the ride instead, it would have been cheaper!
DLP had closed by the time we all met up again, so we headed towards Main Street. We posed for pictures in front of the Christmas tree before exiting the park. We cleared the rest of our stuff from the locker and stopped for dinner at Captain Kidd's (across the street on Harbor). James and I had chicken strips and spaghetti for about $20, but no one was too excited about their meals here. We were done eating about 10pm, and we headed back to our respective motels. We said our goodbyes to Doris, who was heading down to San Diego the next day, and went to our room. I updated our trip notes and we were asleep by midnight.
Tuesday, November 2, 2004
The alarm went off at 8am and we finished packing up our stuff after a quick breakfast. We checked-out of the motel ($210), stored our luggage and walked over to Rod, Sarah and Molly's room. They also packed up their stuff in their car and checked-out, and we were on our way to the parks around 10:30am. We went through security and entered DLP - what a great day (even though it was the last day of our trip) - attendance was very light all day!
We hopped aboard the train for a quick ride to New Orleans station, and walked over to Critter Country. There was no wait for Splash Mountain, so we rode two times in a row! Molly was so funny - she has this scared look on her face in each picture, but insisted on sitting in the front seat both times. I bought the first picture ($18), and we went across the way to ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This is such a gentle ride and we enjoy it, but I know a lot of people are bored by it.
We walked back over to New Orleans Square and caught the next train over to the Tomorrowland station, where we disembarked and headed over to ride Monorail Blue. We respectfully requested to ride in the nose, which Molly really enjoyed! After our round-trip journey to Downtown Disney and back, we returned to the train station and completed our circle around the Magic Kingdom.
We hadn't visited Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln yet, so we headed into the Opera House to view the Walt Disney exhibits while waiting. It's a shame that this attraction doesn't get the attendance it deserves. It was fun to watch Molly's reaction to the audio portion of the show! When we were walking out the exit, I got a patriotic-style pressed penny with Mickey on it to add to my growing collection.
Right outside the Opera House, Mickey Mouse was greeting guests so Molly got in line. A wonderful experience occurred while she was waiting for her turn - just behind and to the right of Mickey was a young lady in a wheelchair, who had just exited Mr. Lincoln as well. Mickey didn't see her at first, until he had stepped aside to use the top of a trashcan as a writing surface for an autograph. He immediately went over to the young lady and spent several minutes with her, giving lots of hugs and kisses! She kept smiling shyly at Mickey and was so obviously delighted - it was such a moving experience for everyone who was present. I got very teary-eyed (just as I am as I write this!) and was so thankful to see this little bit of Disney magic.
After Molly was able to get her hugs and kisses from Mickey, we decided to exit the park and head over to DCA for lunch. Everyone walked over to the Pacific Wharf Café (PWC), while I took a side trip to Taste Pilot's Grill (cheddar burger, fries, and soda = $10 after AP discount). I carried my food over to join everyone at PWC. James had the veggie chili and shared my soda ($8 after AP discount), whereas Rod had the clam chowder and a Coke, Sarah had the corn chowder and a Coke and Molly had the turkey sandwich and chocolate milk. All of the food was delicious, and we were quite full afterwards.
Once we were able to move again, James and Rod waddled over to get FPs for Soarin' while the rest of us walked over to Paradise Pier. Sarah, Molly, and I rode Mulholland Madness twice (screaming at each wild curve along the way) while James and Rod rode Jumpin' Jellyfish (JJ). Then Molly and I rode JJ twice while everyone else waited for us! Next we headed over to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Rod and James took Molly through while Sarah and I had a nice quiet break and waited for them on a bench. Molly really enjoyed the tire swing!
When we re-grouped, we headed back to ride Soarin' with our FPs, although the park was so quiet that they really weren't needed. After our high-gliding adventure was over, we headed to the Hollywood Pictures Backlot so James and I could ride ToT one last time (this visit!). Molly got Goofy's autograph while they were waiting for us and then we all headed back over to DLP.
We hopped aboard the Fire Engine for a one-way trip down Main Street - it was such a lovely day and we were really enjoying the sunshine and being together. Unfortunately we were dreading the end of our vacation, which was looming closer every minute! We walked into Adventureland, where Sarah, James, and I rode Indy one last time (this visit!). We next rode PotC, HMH, and BTMRR, with no wait for any of them.
Unfortunately, it was "now's the time to say goodbye to all our family" - as it was time for us to catch our shuttle to the airport. Rod, Sarah and Molly decided to hang around until the park closed at 7pm before tackling the commute traffic on their way back to Merced. We said our goodbyes and took a quick trip to The Disney Gallery to buy a DLR pictorial book ($12 after the special 50% AP discount), and then headed out of the park around 5pm.
We stopped at a convenience store on the way back to the motel to buy some water ($2) and quickly retrieved our luggage, as our Super Shuttle driver had already arrived! We drove over to the Paradise Pier Hotel to pick up 4 additional guests, and then were on our way to the airport. We arrived around 6pm ($23 with tip) and checked-in for our flight. There was no waiting at security and we headed over to TCBY for some yogurt ($4) and McDonald's for a hamburger, vanilla cone, and water ($3). Our flight home went smoothly, we collected our luggage and car (parking = $28), and were home around 10:15pm, where Cyrus happily greeted us at the door!
Another fun trip with the family! Our next trip will be when we celebrate my birthday in early December with two friends from college.

UCSD-led study makes more sense of genome data
Point Loma The ever-faster methods of genome sequencing have caused a bit of data gridlock among researchers looking into the links between DNA sequences and disease: There's too much information to easily make sense of.
A team of UC San Diego researchers says it has found a way to better interpret the mountains of genomic data to track the associations. Their study was published April 25 in two papers in the journal PLOS Genetics.
The researchers have developed a statistical method to toss out the vast amounts of data likely to be irrelevant. Scientists can then focus more closely on the information likely to be related to diseases. By better understanding the disease process at its genetic roots, researchers hope to speed development of better therapies.
The study, led by UCSD professor Anders Dale, concerns one-letter variants in the DNA alphabet. These variants are called single-nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs. They can occur inside genes, or in the much larger stretch of DNA found outside genes. They can be found by scanning the entire genome to find variants associated with disease; these are called genome-wide association studies, or GWAS. The human genome contains about 3 billion letters, so a change of one letter is comparatively tiny.
Modern genomic technology has identified thousands of these SNPs. This discovery has turned on its head the common notion that a certain mutation occurs "for" a certain disease. Instead of just one mutation in a disease, there are most often many mutations.
Sometimes, people will have disease-associated SNPs but not develop the disease. That fact makes the genetic tests being sold commercially of questionable value in disease prediction. Also, genetic variations may be associated with more than one disease, a condition known as pleiotropy.
Add this all up and it means there's no obvious way to associate most of these variants with diseases in any reliable fashion. That's where the UCSD-led team says its method can make a difference.
"It's increasingly evident that highly heritable diseases and traits are influenced by a large number of genetic variants in different parts of the genome, each with small effects," said Dale, a professor in the departments of Radiology, Neurosciences and Psychiatry at the UCSD School of Medicine, in a statement on the studies. "Unfortunately, it's also increasingly evident that existing statistical methods, like genome-wide association studies that look for associations between SNPs and diseases, are severely underpowered and can't adequately incorporate all of this new, exciting and exceedingly rich data."
The study developed a shortcut to finding patterns of these SNPs that bunch up in certain diseases. The conclusion is made plain in the title of one of the papers, which stated in part, "All SNPs are not created equal."
"We hypothesize that all SNPs in a GWAS are not exchangeable, but come from pre-determinable categories with different distributions of effects," the study stated. "This implies that some categories of SNPs are enriched, i.e. are more likely to be associated with a phenotype than others."
The method also includes pleiotropic information, recognizing that diseases may share common genetic causes.

Second choice goalkeeper Neil Alexander shut out PSV Eindhoven to hand Rangers a fighting chance of progressing to the last eight of the Europa League with a first-leg goalless draw in Holland.
The Scottish champions sprang a surprise by naming Alexander in goal, with first choice goalkeeper Allan McGregor on the bench, and boss Walter Smith no doubt mindful of the Co-operative Insurance Cup final looming this month.
And the move paid off as Rangers claimed a result that will give them hope of finishing the job in front of their own fans when the Dutch travel to Ibrox for next week's second leg.
