About Me
I am one of Wall Street's most successful equity analysts and investment managers, with a reputation as a leading expert on today's market movements, stock trends and economic outlook.
I received my MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and my BA from Wellesley College with honors. I got my start on Wall Street more than two decades ago at Lehman Brothers and Morgan Stanley where I was an analyst in the investment banking group covering natural resources, diversified industrials and energy companies. I was also the chief investment officer of a family office–overseeing a $5.2 billion global private equity and publicly-traded equity fund, and co-vice chairman of the $500 million Ibero-American Partners Fund (1997 to 2003).
In 2004, my A&G Capital formed a specialized research arm and investment fund. The GreenTech 21st Century Master Fund focused on companies engaged in alternative energy, clean technologies, environmental infrastructure and services, agricultural and natural resources.
My book, "Ahead of the Curve", was released in 2007 by Simon & Schuster and prophetically projected the rise of the alternative energy and cleantech industries as well as the global depletion of oil reserves, rising energy and commodity prices and a global movement towards a healthier environment.
Financial Times senior columnist, John Dizard called me "a powerful and highly respected expert in the world of investing and asset management" and a "one-woman financial investment powerhouse." Today I'm an in-demand commentator whose work often appears in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Bloomberg, and Reuters and am a regular on CNBC, CNN, and the Fox News Channel, providing stock market insight and economic observations.

Red Clay, I can't agree with you more. I loved my 1200 but the 650 did make travel on some of the trails much easier. My biggest point to anyone out there is just do it. It will change you as a person. I just saw a review on a book that Motoquest did about Alaska and it makes it easy and is a great read. Don't hesitate, I did and was beside myself leaving my kids but in the end I was much better after the ride and my kids enjoyed hearing about it. As a birthday present for my kids, when they each turn 14 I will be giving them a trip to wherever they want to go on a tour and we will sleep in a tent the entire time. Life is short, enjoy. Progressive Suspension knows it, they say "Ride More." Here are a few more shots, now go do it. :)
Alaska oil line. I saw it in pictures and in movies, but it pails in comparison to seeing it live.
The smile is still on my face. When were you this happy? Go on an adventure. Take the risk, it will be worth it. Sorry to rant, I am just passionate about it.

Although people use the phrases "breathalyzer" and "blood alcohol content" interchangeably, there is a very important difference between the two terms. A breathalyzer doesn't read your BAC, but rather estimates it.
Breathalyzer test results can be far from 100% accurate and may be challenged in a DUI defense case.
Facts: It's illegal in all states to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or greater. Following a DUI conviction, you may face many certain fines and penalties, such as license suspension, probation a prison term.
If you've been arrested for drinking and driving, talk to a lawyer today.
Your BAC may be tested several ways. The breath test is the most common way to estimate BAC.
Many police departments use portable breathalyzer testing devices to determine BAC. But some states don't allow test results from these portable breathalyzers, using larger machines that are generally considered more accurate.
A urine test may also be used to estimate BAC.
While many states rely solely on breath or urine tests to estimate BAC, a blood test is generally the most reliable way to get an accurate result.
A DUI lawyer can help you determine if you can challenge your breath or blood test as a DUI defense.
Several problems exist with breathalyzers that could result in an inaccurate estimation:
If you've been charged with a DUI based on a breathalyzer or urine test, a DUI lawyer may be able to help you challenge those results - even if you allegedly failed a breathalyzer, blood or urine test.
Call 877-349-1311 to schedule a free consultation with a local DUI attorney today. Get legal advice on how to handle your DUI case and how your state's drinking and driving laws may affect your DUI case.
Note: The above summary is by no means all-inclusive and is not legal advice. For the latest information on breathalyzer and BAC issues, speak to a DUI attorney in your area.

I cannot tell you how many clients open my initial consultation with this line: "We want the look and feel of the W Hotel in our home." Since when did hotels become the leading source of inspiration for residential interiors? Whenever it was, I like that time; I like it a lot. I've stayed at or visited three W Hotels. While I appreciated the efficiency and locale of the Times Square location, the buffalo-ish stampede of tourists charging the sidewalks just outside the front doors made me wanna pop a Xanax (and I detest pills). As for the West Hollywood location, the perfect weather and genetically blessed guests soaking up the sun by the pool were uber-dreamy; however, it made me feel horrible for being pale and wanting to scarf down a cheeseburger.
And then there's superdecorator Thom Filicia's designs at the W Hotel Atlanta Buckhead, located in the city's premiere shopping district. Uh-may-zing. The hotel's milieu for both for service and aesthetics has been referred to as having (a) urban style merged with the city's deep history and culture and (b) traditions of Southern hospitality. Taking a stroll through one of Thom's masterful spaces while on your way to enjoying a cocktail in the lounge or checking into the Wonderful Room for a night or two is a perfect way to experience his work up-close-and-personal, plus walk away with some ideas. Here's a gander at some of Thom's clean and classic work in the down-and-dirty South.

Our goal is to recruit individuals who are committed to excellence in patient care. The freestanding, fully accredited five-year general surgery program presently graduates six senior residents per year. There exists a tradition of excellence in the program that we are committed to perpetuating. Over the years, the residency program has consistently filled with excellent candidates. Graduates of the program have likewise established an outstanding record in passing the examinations of the American Board of Surgery and in going on to fellowship training.
The department of surgery educates junior and senior medical students from Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine and the University of Toledo College of Medicine on rotations throughout the year. Almost all of the faculty surgeons hold teaching appointments at the University of Toledo College of Medicine.
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital is also unique among community hospitals in the commitment of the faculty to the hospital and its programs. We provide general hospital care as well as specialized referral care to a large surrounding population base in Southeastern Michigan.
Approximately 11212 operative procedures are performed annually at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, which include 2177 general surgery operations. There is extensive experience with trauma victims as well as peripheral vascular and cardiac surgery patients. Over 32363 patients are discharged annually.
All residents gain operative experience in the Ambulatory Surgery Facility (ASF) where 7408 cases are done annually, 1885 of these cases are general surgery procedures. These patients have surgical procedures not requiring lengthy post-operative observation and skilled care.
The leadership of the department is committed to new initiatives including the implementation of a formal minimally invasive training component to the general surgery program, as well as development of a surgical critical care service. We are also proud to be in full compliance with the ACGME mandated duty hour restrictions.

Who lived a life of greater value? Dunstan Ramsay or Percy Boyd Stauton?
Could you please offer your opinion and some examples to support it that I can expand on. I have already narrowed it down to Dunstan's spiritualistic life over Percy's materialistic life. If some examples of both these could be given, I would really appreciate it. If any other comparison can be made, please point it out. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
1 Answer | Add Yours
Right from the very beginning we see the conflicting of the materialistic world view and a spiritual world view in the infamous sledding and snowball incident. Percy's mittens were purchased at a store in the city, while Dunstan's mittens were made lovingly by his mother. Percy's sled is new; Dunstan's is old. The anger and animousity Percy feels and displays toward Dunstan is the psychological struggle each has with these two world views. Dunstan's possessions might be older, made by a loving parent, but they possess a deeper spirituality than Percy's mass produced collection of possessions. Percy is upset not just at losing, but losing to something he cannot or does not possess-soulful objects and a growing sense of spirituality. When we read further we see that Dunstan is psychologically and spiritually affected by the snowball incident which he sees as his fault. Percy is curiously absent from the incident despite being the guilty culprit. All of this is set up in just the first five pages of the novel....

Portable Tandoor Oven Build
OK, I have always wanted a tandoor oven. I'll try to build one next weekend.
I am going to build one using H.C. Muddox thin brick and heat stop refractory cement on the inside. I will be using the summer wheat color, as it is a uniform brick. The internal diameter will be about 18.75 inches, and the "usable height" will be about 30 inches. I will be using thin brick on the outside as well. The outside diameter will be approximately 25.25 inches. I have no idea what color I will use on the outside.
Before everyone yells and tells me that if it ain't fire brick, it's gonna crack.....I'm going to try it. Thin brick will allow me to quickly and easily deal with a radiused interior. There will be lots of joints for stress relief. The alternative is a clay pot.....I'm guessing brick might work. I'm finding out that the Muddox brick are great.....not at all like the brick oven in the chimney of an old house my brother owns in Pennsylvania...that oven is real, real old.......100 years?
Now, a tandoor pot generally has a "belly", and the mouth is smaller than the belly. I am not yet sure how I am going to deal with that, or if I even will. I guess a smaller mouth will save energy, prevent excessive heat loss, etc....but it also increases the likelyhood of me brushing my hand or arm against something hot when I "slap" the naan onto the wall. I'm already thinking that there will be no more hair left on my knuckles. I guess I can add something to make the oven mouth come out to about 13-14 inches in diameter.
I think I'll just use a round piece of sheet metal with a handle for the lid.....The lid has to be slid partway open anyway when cooking kabobs.....and I generally see the lid off all the way when cooking naan.
Wish me luck....pictures to follow.
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
I'm subscribed to see the build :D
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
"I'm subscribed to see the build" Lburou
Me too, I've had a matched pair of large clay pots that I picked up last summer with the idea of building a tandoor oven. I have yet to find the time...but have been refining the build in my mind, (so much easier to prebuild something in one's head :-) It will be interesting to see how your ideas play out.
Lots of picture, please !
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build

Here is a photo on an Armenian Tonir......I found this picture under "Tandoor" in Wikipedia. I am telling you this because that seems to be the licensing requirement for the photo.
This photo will be used as my inspiration for my tandoor.I intend to use thin brick arranged like this on the inside of the tandoor.
15 lbs of powder form HeatStop costs $76, but I think that will be enough for a tandoor. I use split firebrick and type S with fireclay added for my pizza ovens....I am tempted to use that for the tandoor......any thoughts? In my ovens, it is the joints between brick that have strength, the type S with fireclay does not stick much (none have come off but fixing mistakes show where the type S sticks) to the backing insulation I use. I wonder about Heatstop, but $76 for 1 tandoor is ok......
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
I had good luck this week buying all kinds of supplies from a refractory plant close by. See my thread about it here.
California will be full of refractories supporting a number of industries using their specialty products. Search for 'California refractory' and they can sell you the powder you mention (or anything you need) for cheap by comparison. HTH :
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
Thank you.
Harbison Walker in Richmond, CA reached out to me today. They asked me to drive down and visit what they call a refractory supply mecca.
I use H.C. Muddox here in Sacramento for bricks. Their bricks are quite reasonable, and I think their quality is awsome.
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
My pleasure :)
Make a list, I got distracted during my visit to the refractory and went away without everything I wanted :)
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
I believe that I "mis-heard" 15 when she may have said 50 lbs....
Either way, I am going down to Harbison Walker next week in Richmond, CA to see what they have.
Re: Portable Tandoor Oven Build
A couple of thoughts/impressions regarding that photo that is the inspiration for your build:
It's an interesting way of suporting the meat they are roasting, however, it would appear that the bottom meats are considerably more cooked than the top. The support for the "dangle" is clever but one would suppose that part way thru the roast the dangle should have the capability to be inverted and hung from what is presently the bottom. Having that capability would insure a more uniform roast.
Also one would assume a roast like this would not be much different in final outcome than one done in one of our WFOs. It is relying on radiant heat from the sides. With at least one considerable difference: if one drops what one is roasting in one of our WFOs it is a mess but the meat is easliy recoverable. Retrieving a dropped dangle in this oven would be much more inconvenient and hazardous as one would have to work directly in the heat column.
My personal interest in a tandoor is more in the bread it produces. Skewered meats should be no different than those done in a dome WFO. Or am I missing something?

Labor of Love, Sammy Kershaw's 1997 album, kicks things off with a Bob McDill song, "Honky Tonk America," a celebration of every dimly lit, beer-soaked nightclub in the nation--"a blue-collar place" with "a red-blooded crowd." And what kind of music, according to Kershaw and McDill, should one expect to hear in today's honky-tonk? "Louie, Louie," "Proud Mary," and "Wooly Bully."
As much as country purists may hate to hear it, today's Southern factory worker, the sort of person who's the backbone of the country audience, is more likely to dance to "Wooly Bully" on a Friday night than to "New San Antonio Rose." Kershaw is part of that core audience and so it's only natural that his Labor of Love reflects as much rock influence as country roots. Only purists would fault Kershaw for adding cannon-shot snare drums and cranked-up guitars to the fiddles and pedal-steel guitar, especially when these backing tracks sound as good as they do. Still, this set, like Kershaw's previous albums, is unfailingly polite. His voice is a marvelous instrument, and it sounds thick and creamy whether it comes out slow and sad, or fast and funny. The songs are all built around clever puns and catchy chorus jingles, but they never go any deeper than that.
On the album's most country-sounding track, "Thank God, You're Gone," Kershaw and his cowriter Mike Fornes describe a romantic break-up with a captivating ballad melody and the usual lyric details. The singer captures the self-pity of the situation in a gorgeous vocal, but he never quite touches the depths of post-break-up despair where anger, regret, and yearning are tangled in an undoable knot. --Geoffrey Himes

The hits just keep on coming. First Chrissy Teigen got engaged, then Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge announced they're pregnant, and now Jessica Biel is engaged.
Timberlake, a six-time Grammy winner, popped the question to Biel, 29, in the mountains of Jackson, Wyoming. "Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place," one insider explains.
After a brief three-month split in 2011, Biel made it clear that she wanted to spend her life with Timberlake, 30. "When they reunited, they had a conversation about taking the next step."

We've done a handful of project engines. What should we choose as the focal point of our next build?
Ever since I asked our readers for their suggestions regarding our next engine build project, the response has been overwhelming. The suggestions have included a hi-po build of a Ford 4.6L modular, a fresh look at the "old school" smallblock Chevy (taking advantage of today's performance parts and technology), an early 392 Hemi, a nutty 500 CID Cadillac engine, a Buick or Olds V8 buildup, a 401 CID AMC, and others.
I'm narrowing the choices, and I'll announce the target engine very soon. The build will start in early 2011 and will continue in several article installments throughout that year. If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact me at 330-435-6347 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com .
"Street Rod Theme" engine. Dart smallblock Chevy block, Dart aluminum heads, bored/stroked to 383 CID. The goal was to provide engine builders with a few creative ideas to accommodate street rod customers.
632 CID big-block Chevy, featuring a Dart Big M block, Dart Big Chief II heads, 16:1 compression, etc. This pup pulled 1115 HP on dyno.
LS2 block, Trick Flow heads, Lunati stroker crank, etc. Carbureted version pulled 625.4HP on dyno.
Our most recent build, the Ford flathead, all dressed up and ready to rock.

LEAVE IT TO A COUNTRY that dreamed up such wacky sports as caber tossing (chucking 18-foot-tall pieces of timber across the lawn) and hammer throwing (chucking 16-pound steel balls across the lawn) to conceive of a sport like curling. Yes, thanks to Scotland, grown men and women worldwide now embrace a sport that requires them to send a 42-pound puck known as a "stone" skidding across the ice with little more than a broom to guide its path. But while the Scots are notorious oddballs who enjoy delicacies like haggis and blood pudding, explaining how the sport has captured the hearts of thousands of baseball-loving and apple-pie-eating Americans is a bit more challenging.
Until the 1990s, curling was played mainly in places like Minnesota and Wisconsin (plenty of cold weather and not a lot of anything else to do). But, perhaps inspired by its ugly-duckling charm, Americans flocked to the sport after its prime-time TV debut in the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic Games. "Curling clubs were overwhelmed with calls before the Olympics had even ended," says Terry Kolesar, communications manager for the Wisconsin-based United States Curling Association. Kolesar now counts more than 13,000 registered American curlers, nearly 20 percent of whom joined in the last five years. Clubs have even sprouted up as far south as Texas and Arizona.
Today, more than 1.5 million people in 46 countries have picked up their brooms and hit the ice. Just north of the border in Canada (where curling will once again appear in Vancouver, British Columbia's 2010 Winter Olympic Games), the sport has become a national obsession, ranking second only to hockey in popularity.
Maybe that's because one doesn't need the physique of a hockey player—or the skates, for that matter—to tackle curling. One should, however, come prepared to do more than just stand around sweeping a broom, according to Doug Schaak, founder of Portland's Evergreen Curling Club, which meets twice weekly for league games at the Lloyd Center. Schaak, a Multnomah Bible College English professor, grew up playing the sport in North Dakota, where his father curled competitively. Today he fields teams for competitions in eight tournaments—bonspiels, in curling parlance—against other clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest each year.
"You're actually sweating a lot out there," says Schaak. "It's far more physically demanding than it looks; you're always moving when you're on the ice."
In fact, the constant sweeping motion works the pecs and triceps, and many first-timers are surprised that such a seemingly simplistic sport could also require flexibility, balance and endurance. In order to skillfully slide those stones, curlers must be able to glide along on the ice for 30 feet or more while maintaining a quad-burning deep knee bend. "You're just constantly flexing those big thigh muscles," says Schaak. League matches, which consist of eight "ends"—similar to innings in baseball—can last up to two hours, and players wind up shuffling, sweeping and lunging their way back and forth across the length of the Lloyd Center's 175-foot-long rink several times over the course of a night.

Lagos — LAGOS State Government, Tuesday, shut down Mile 12 and Ketu Fruits markets over non-compliance to the state sanitation law.
Also, in anticipation of early rains, the state Drainage Maintenance Department and Emergency Flood Abatement Department had commenced the massive cleaning and dredging of drains and canals to attain the State Zero Tolerance on flooding.
Announcing the closure, Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, claimed both markets were closed for flagrant abuse of the environmental sanitation law and indiscriminate loading and off- loading of goods on the main road, creating traffic bottlenecks for other road users.
According to him, there were inadequate toilets in the markets, while traders messed up the surrounding environment with human wastes, saying the closure of the markets became inevitable after several unheeded warnings to forestal epidemics and other health hazards in the state.
Tunji Bello noted that markets were meant for business activities and not for residential purposes and that converting markets to residential purpose would evidently cause untoward consequences on the environment.

Comments about SPORTLINE 340 Step & Distance Pedometer:
As a female, I do not typically wear a belt like most of the fellows. I clipped the pedometer to the waist band of my slacks ... and it did not hold ... but dropped off and was lost while I was in church. Reported it lost and searched for it ... even had an address label on it ... but it was picked up by someone and never returned. I like the features of the Sportline Pedometer but I can't recommend it to females until you find a way we can adequately secure it to our clothing.

Mushrooms found growing on a First bus during 'nightmare journey'
Posted: January 20, 2014|
A NEWLYN man said he saw mushrooms growing under a seat on a "damp and cold" First bus to Truro earlier this month, as he went on a nightmare journey to see his wife perform in a charity concert.
Jeremy Schanche, with his elderly mother and three-year-old daughter, Flora, said he was travelling with his wife, Stella, to see her play the piano at the city's cathedral on Friday, January 3.
He said that the party had started their journey on a train but a signal failure and long delays had meant they were advised to take a replacement bus, though they were then told it "wasn't going anywhere soon".
Fearing they would not arrive for the concert's noon start the group decided to board another First bus, although the service was running 40 minutes late, said Mr Schanche.
"There was so much confusion, but people were just happy to be on something moving," he said.
"I noticed the seats were damp to the touch. Luckily, I was wearing waterproof trousers, as my arthritis flares up in the damp. There was no heating on at all.
"Looking up at the ceiling, it was bulging down in numerous places, apparently caused by water damage, presumably from a small hole in the roof. On both sides of the aisle water was running back and forth, like in the bilges of a boat."
Mr Schanche noted a cigarette stubber on the back of a seat – an indication of how old the vehicle was – and said it came as no surprise when it broke down near Camborne.
He said the driver told passengers it was the third bus to break down that day. After another bus was called, the group just got to the concert in time.
Mr Schanche does not understand why the transport is so poor and questions where the money raised by recent price rises is going.
"When it broke down we noticed just how terrible the bus was. During the delay I had time to observe three mushrooms growing under the back seat," he said.
"The other bus was still very wet and damp. To have buses in that state makes it very obvious that they're not doing maintenance or checking them."
A First spokesperson said the vehicle is set to be taken off the road for a deep clean and that ticket prices changed two days after the incident.
The person added: "We regret the disruption and inconvenience caused by this incident and are grateful for the detail provided by the complainant. We will have the vehicle in question thoroughly checked by our maintenance staff."

No, in Virginia at age 18 you cannot go and get a driver's license without first holding a learner's permit.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) notes that if you are under age 19, you must provide proof of successful completion of a state-approved driver education program and you must hold a learner's permit at least nine months before you can receive a driver's license.
In VA if you are age 19 or older and you have never held a license issued by any state, U.S. territory or foreign country, you must also provide proof of successful completion of a state-approved driver education program or you must have held a learner's permit at least 30 days before taking the road skills test.
Also if you are under 19 years of age, you will be required to show one proof of identity, one proof of legal presence, and one proof of Virginia residency, along with proof of your social security number (if you have been issued one) when you go to the Virginia DMV to apply for a license. You will be required to show your proof of identity, legal presence, Virginia residency, and social security number documents on each return visit to the VA DMV until your driver's license is issued.
With a Virginia learner's permit, you are allowed to operate a motor vehicle when a licensed driver at least 21 years of age is seated beside you. The driver accompanying you may be 18 years of age if he or she is your legal guardian, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, step-brother or step-sister. The driver accompanying you must hold a valid driver's license, be alert and able to assist you and be legally permitted to drive.
When you apply for a learner's permit, you will also complete the application process for your driver's license and pay the fees for both the permit and license. You will be required to pass the two-part knowledge exam and a vision screening.
So in the Commonwealth of Virginia if you are under age 19, you must obtain and hold a learner's permit for at least nine months or until you turn age 19 before you can receive a driver's license. You will receive a certificate when you complete a required state approved driver education program that is also required by VA.
For more information on the licensing process in Virginia contact your local VA DMV. Once you are licensed and ready to place car insurance on a vehicle, you can get free auto insurance quotes online where with us.

eMagazine recommendation Bread #1
While grazing at "The fresh loaf" I found a link to the first issue and after reading the issue I thought I'd pass the info along. Rather than recipes there are four interviews and a introduction by the editor, Jarkko Laine. The interviews are with Chris Young, of the "Real Bread Campaign" in the UK, Phil Agnew a blogger from Austrailia, Larry Lowary a baker from Washington State and Richard Bertinet a baker and baking teacher from Bath in the UK. I found the interviews informative and thought provoking and thought some of you might as well.
The issue is downloadable at Insanely Interested

Re: eMagazine recommendation Bread #1
What a nice eMagazine. I found the Real Bread Campaign and how it started quite interesting. I especially liked the interview that said something about the efforts to make "real bread and give it time to ripen and develop flavor naturally". Can't wait for the 2nd issue. Thanks for finding it Chris.
Re: eMagazine recommendation Bread #1
Yes, thanks Chris :)
Re: eMagazine recommendation Bread #1
Forgot to thank you Chris for posting this. Downloaded and read the emag last week. Very interesting interviews and stories. I hope this goes far for them.

I hope the quality is maintained and it gains traction..
The Real Bread school program "Bake your lawn" reminds me of going on a field trip to a working farm.. Very cool to bring the image of where food comes from to children in a very personal way.
Re: eMagazine recommendation Bread #1
I like the mag - just did not enlarge well for me and was hard to read! Maybe it is just me and my linux box.
Re: eMagazine recommendation Bread #1
The 2nd edition is dedicated to Flour and the interviews continue to be high quality, thought provoking and informative. Again highly recomended reading for Bread Heads.

Aleksandar Kolarov gave them an early lead when his long-range free-kick evaded everyone - including Belgium goalkeeper Logan Bailly - and went in off a post. And 77th-minute substitute Dragan Mrdja made sure of the victory three minutes from time when he beat Bailly with a low shot.

The authors of this text have conducted joint research in computational genomics, and developed a course on the same at UC Davis. One is a biologist; the other, a computer scientist. Each needed to understand the other's background, and from that interchange arose this wonderful text, which offers the reader an introduction to computational genomics. The target audience consists of students at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level with an interest in computational genomics, and a background in one of the two fields. The text also requires some familiarity with basic ideas of statistics.
Each chapter presents the reader with a scenario where computational analysis of the properties of a genome helps develop an answer to some biological question. Most scenarios immediately strike the reader as interesting and worthy of investigation; other scenarios might not appeal to some readers but turn out to be quite interesting after all. This reviewer, for example, did not expect chapter 9, The genomics of wine-making, to be nearly as engrossing as it turned out, but in addition to a historical background of wine-making, the explanation of how yeast changes its behavior during the wine-making process was fascinating. Other case scenarios that grab one's attention include studies of Chlamydia, HIV, the eyeless gene (which a "Frankenstein experiment" showed could cause a fruitfly to break out with eyes all over its body), the question of our genetic kinship with Neanderthals, and jet lag.
Each chapter/case study sports a colorful title, such as
Through examples such as these, the reader is led through a clear exposition on the fundamental topics and skills of computational genomics, such as
Each is explained in an easy-to-understand style. The end of each chapter features a handful of problems that encourage the reader to visit a gene bank, download genetic information, and perform some of the tasks described. The reader is also encouraged to visit the book's web site, www.computational-genomics.net, which offers additional information and resources.
At 170 pages, one should expect accessibility, and not encyclopedic depth. As a mathematician with some knowledge of computer science and almost no background in biology, the reviewer found it easy to follow discussions of the basic biological principles, and was left thirsting for more. Someone looking for a discussion of why an open reading frame starts with a methionine codon instead of some other codon will have to look elsewhere. It is a sign of a good text that the reader finds oneself thirsting to learn more, and can determine where to look thanks to copious references. The text satisfies on both accounts.
The reviewer is somewhat less confident that a biologist with a weak background in mathematics or computer science can follow the computational aspects of the text. Some familiarity with more than an elementary programming skill appears to be assumed. The authors describe many algorithms in paragraph form, providing pseudocode for some algorithms, but not for others. A perusal of the website leaves the reviewer uncertain as to whether sufficient software is available to do all the exercises without writing some kind of computer program. For example; the first problem in the text directs the reader to
Download from GenBank the complete genomic sequence of Bacteriophage lambda, accession number NC_001416, and analyze its GC content with various choices of window size.
The text makes it quite clear what it means to analyze the GC content of a genome; what is missing is any direction on what tool the student should use. The sequence contains more than 48000 nucleotides, so perform the task by hand is possible, but highly nontrivial. For most tasks, especially later in the text, the authors direct the reader to a relevant online tool, but the reviewer could find no way to tackle this problem outside of sitting down and writing a short computer program.
An additional disappointment was the lack of clarity in too many figures: untitled axes do not shed light on the meaning of the plots.
In general, however, the reviewer enjoyed the book and would recommend it highly.

He once had a number interests outside of mathematics, but after three children and several home renovations he has forgotten what it means to have free time.

Nov. 3, 2009
FRISCO, Texas -- Lamar's Lisa Hance and Lisa Topping were both listed among the members of the 2009 Women's Soccer All-Southland Conference Teams as announced by the league office Tuesday.
Both student-athletes were named to the Honorable Mention list. They joined former standout Aline Pugliesi as the only all-conference honorees in program history. Pugliesi also nabbed honorable mention plaudits following the 2008 campaign.
Hance, a sophomore forward in her second year at Lamar finished the season as the team leader in goals, assists and points, with four, five and 13 respectively. The Grapevine, Texas native had a game-winning goal in the 3-0 win over Central Arkansas and all three assists in last weekend's 3-2 overtime win at Nicholls - the first-ever golden goal for the Lady Cardinals.
She ranks 11th in the SLC in assists, however, all five came in league play which is tied for the most in the conference. She was also seventh in shots with a team-high 46.
Topping, a freshman midfielder from Leyland, England, ranked tied for second in scoring with 11 ppints on three goals and five assists - tied with Hance for the lead. She recorded a pair of multi-point games with a goal and an assists in the season-opener at Louisiana Tech and a goal and two assists in the 6-1 win over Texas Southern, which established the school-record for margin of victory.
Her 43 shots on the season ranked 10th in the conference, while her five assists matched Hance for 11th.

'Gossip Girl' Season 6 trailer: Will Blair and Chuck be the 'endgame' couple?Add to Favorites | Gossip Girl
" Gossip Girl's" Season 5 finale was a little rough on us, with nearly every character taking two giant steps backward in character development. Naturally, we can't wait for the show's last-ever season premiere on Monday, Oct. 8 at 9 p.m., because there are only 10 episodes left and the Upper East Siders had better get to their redemptions ASAP if there's any hope of repairing these relationships before the final bow.
One relationship that doesn't look like it's doomed is the one between Blair and Chuck. As volatile as it's been in the past, it would appear from this brand new Season 6 trailer that the mercurial couple may have found a little bit of stability amongst all the Manhattan madness. "I'm all in," Blair tells Chuck, and he promptly replies, "And my bet's on us."
Whether you're swooning or rolling your eyes, there's no doubt that this trailer invokes emotion, particularly as it gives us a nostalgic look back at where it all began. Watch above, and be sure to vote in our "Chair" poll!
