Inexpensive notebooks can be fantastic. We've reviewed a number of bargain-priced portables that pleased us and would please any price-conscious consumer. On the other hand, sometimes you really do get what you pay for, and that's the unfortunate case with the Acer Aspire 5741Z-5433. You might be able to afford this Acer Aspire, but its limited features and slow multitasking may make you wish you'd spent a little more.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
P6000: The Pentium P6000 is an entry level CPU based on the Arrandale core. Compared to the Celeron P4500, the P6000 offers a bit better performance due to the faster System Bus and an increased Level 3 cache. However, VT-x is not available for the P6000.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.4 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

ST. LOUIS (PRWEB) August 08, 2012
On the heels of a successful 2012 Congressional Fly-In, the National Association of Electrical Distributors is mobilizing its grassroots with resources for helping its 660 members – and their stakeholders – get to the polls this November.
Last month, more than 40 electrical distributors took their voices to Washington D.C. for 135 meetings with their elected officials on Capitol Hill. Now NAED Government Affairs is encouraging the industry to take its voice to the voting booth.
"Those who participated in the Fly-In made a strong, lasting impression on behalf of our industry," said Ed Orlet, vice president of NAED Government Affairs. "But you don't necessarily need to go to Washington to affect change. Vote! And encourage your employees, business partners, friends and family members to do the same."
As part of its "Get Out the Vote" initiative, NAED Government Affairs offers members a number of voter-education resources through its online Government Action Center, including:
The Action Center also features industry advocacy information, letter templates and issues backgrounders to help members stay on top the issues and build strategic relationships with their elected officials.
"The tight races defining today's political landscape show that not only does every vote count, but also that the outcome of each race impacts our industry," said Orlet. "With issues like the threat to LIFO accounting practices and energy-efficiency incentives hinging on election outcomes, it's critical that electrical distributors get out the vote."
NAED members interested in conducting voter education events or candidate meet-and-greets at their companies can contact NAED Government Affairs at 888-791-2512.
NAED is the trade association for the $70+ billion electrical distribution industry. Through networking, education, research, and benchmarking, NAED helps electrical distributors increase profitability and improve the channel. NAED's membership operates in approximately 4,400 locations internationally.

The Oxford Companion to Beer
By Jay Brooks
Friday, October 7th, 2011 at 11:13 am in On Beer.
While a great new book on beer was released a few weeks ago, today is the "official" publication date. The book is The Oxford Companion to Beer, and it's a new encyclopedic reference book on all things beer. It was put together by a friend and colleague, Garrett Oliver, who's the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery in in New York, and the author of the seminal beer and food book, The Brewmaster's Table. The actual authors include something like 166 beer writers, brewers, suppliers, brewing scientists and researchers; experts in their fields one and all. In the interest of full disclosure, I was one of the contributors, too, and wrote around 25 of the 1,100 entries in the 900-page book. As a result, I don't think it's fair for me to review it, though I must say it's getting fairly good press already, including a rave by the New York Times' Eric Asimov, who called it the "ultimate beer guide."
Published by the Oxford University Press, the cover price is $65, but it's considerably less on Amazon, though if you can afford it I'd certainly encourage you to pick it up at a local bookstore. Perhaps the best evidence that the world was waiting for a book like this is the fact that it sold out, twice, before its official publishing date. According to the Oxford University Press (OUP), who considers a reference book a success if it sells a few thousand copies, they sold out of the initial 10,000 print run from pre-orders, printed another 5,000 which also immediately sold out, and are now on the third printing, all before today's publication date. If you're already thinking about Christmas gifts this year, this might be an ideal choice for the beer lover in your life.

Similar Minds have a very comprehensive—and in my experience, rather accurate—Personality Disorders Quiz, which is helpful at illustrating how no one's illness is not all X nor all Y, but has traits of several, with some predominant enough to warrant a diagnosis.
As with all documents (or people!) asking you to provide your thoughts and feelings on very personal matters, some questions may be triggering. Further, I truly don't want anyone to feel worse about themselves or more frightened if the outcomes is unappealing: this is, after all, not a valid medical opinion.
This is NOT a substitute for an actual diagnosis by a medical professional. If you suspect you have a behavioral health illness, be strong and contact a psychiatrist.

LOSERS TAKE ALL is a raucous, irreverent rock & roll comedy in which we follow fictional indie rock band The Fingers as they stumble their way in the opposite direction of success commercial or otherwise. Or so they think. As it happens, it's 1986 and the mainstream is eager to embrace the D.I.Y. sounds of the underground, whether the bands like it or not.

ACLU PREPARING TO ARGUE CASE AGAINST NSA SPYING PROGRAM-Andrew Stelzer
Its been almost 6 months since the New York Times revealed that under the direction of President Bush, the national security agency has been conducting phone and email surveillance on thousands, if not millions of Americans without court approval. As the ACLU prepares to mount the first legal challenge the NSA spying program, theyââ¬â¢re having to simultaneously watch legislation in congress that could make the program legal retroactively, and fight the merger of two phone companies who helped the NSA conduct the surveillance program. Ann Beason, the ACLUs associate legal director, will be arguing the case
ACT-Beeson ââ¬ÅThe problem is that both journalists and attorneys have obligation to change their behavior..for example, journalists sources have said they no longer will give info, also several attorneys have an ethical obligation to not have info disclosed..theyââ¬â¢ve had to stop having phone or email conversations with clientsââ¬Â¦.program created immediate and irreconcilable harm..ââ¬â¢
Although there are two troublesome aspects to the spying programââ¬âthe wiretaps and the data mining on phone company records; The ACLU has filed a motion in Federal court related to the wiretaps. The ACLU is asking Judge Anna Diggs Taylor to rule on whether the president violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.
ACT-Beeson ââ¬ÅThe government has offered 2 defensesââ¬âits in congress authorized when it authorized military force..Congress has said this is not true. Govs other defense is that pres has inherent authority because of his war powers, and we believe that is a total mis-understanding..they gave congress the power, if they hadnââ¬â¢t we would be back to days of king George the IIIââ¬Â¦the framers never wanted to give power to ignore the laws of congress..ââ¬?
Journalist James Bamford is one of about 10 journalists and attorneys who joined the ACLU lawsuit as a client. He says the President has violated the law, and needs to be held accountable.
ACT-Bamford ââ¬ÅHaving written two books, I know the potential..I know Nixon, the NSA began eavesdroppingââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬?
ACT-Bamford ââ¬ÅFor many years, the NSA disobeyed the lawââ¬Â¦then they went back to days of Nixon
The suit will be heard in Detroit on Monday June 12th. Judge Taylor could rule on the issue of state secrets, she could rule on whether the spying program violates FISA, or she could shoes to wait until after another hearing scheduled for early July, in which the issue of state secrets will be discussed. The Government asked the judge to delay the hearing on the wiretap program until after the state secrets hearing, but the judge rejected that request.
Although the state secrets clause hasnââ¬â¢t been in front of the US supreme county in 50 years, the 1953 case of US vs. Reynolds is the precedent courts have used when hearing cases in which the government has invoked the law. Ann Beeson, the ACLU's associate legal director, said that The ACLU has had at least 2 clients, Sybil Edmunds and Kalid Al-Masriââ¬âhave their cases against the government dismissed on the precedent set in US vs. Reynolds.
ACT ââ¬ÅReynolds vs. USââ¬âfamily whose loved ones were killed in test planeââ¬âgov said state secretsââ¬âSupreme Court said you canââ¬â¢t have accident report but you can still try the case. Same family members got hold of report, it turned out the accident report, all it did was confirm that the army had been negligentââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬?
But Graves says the case being heard later this month canââ¬â¢t be dismissed on the same basis, because the government has already admitted the program exists, and the details of it are irrelevant.
ACT ââ¬ÅState secrets is for evidence, itââ¬â¢s not a blanket to prevent litigation..we donââ¬â¢t need it because the pres has already admitted he broke the lawââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬?
Coinciding with this case coming to court is the pending purchase of Bellsouth by AT and T, which the ACLU has filed an objection to with the FCC, in light of the fact that the phone companies have not reveled the level of participation they had in the programs. Barry Steinhart is the director of the ACLUââ¬â¢s technology and liberty project.
ACT-stein ââ¬? 2 of the companies involved AT & T and bell south are mergingââ¬Â¦and the question of that merger is before the FCC..so we filed comments asking FCC to investigate whether companies have been complying with the law or turning over provide data to NSA without a court order..FCC has responsibility to determine if itââ¬â¢s in public interest and if they are acting in a lawful way..ââ¬?
FCC commissioner Kevin Martin responded by saying they could not investigate the issue because it involved state secrets. The 2 phone companies are asking for no hearing, or at the very least a private hearing on the topic, and Lisa Gravesââ¬âsenior counsel for legislative strategy for ACLU, who has been attending hearings about the telecom merger says sheââ¬â¢s disturbed by the lack of aggressiveness on the part of congress.
ACT ââ¬ÅWe continue to see on the hill a lack of subpoenas to back up admins rhetoric..we are hopeful that congress will get documents and they will insist that these are public..the very questions they insisted on getting answers on during church committeeââ¬?
Meanwhile, there are at least 4 bills being considered in congress related to the surveillance program, some of which, according to Lisa Graves, the ACLUââ¬â¢s senior legislative counsel, would make the entire program legal, and would retroactively make whatever has already happened legal as well. Graves says itââ¬â¢s unclear where the votes are, because everybody is waiting for a thorough investigation of the program that is now under question. But she favors a bill co-sponsored by Senators Arlen Specter and Hillary Clinton.
ACT ââ¬ÅThe judiciary has no business passing law, until they know whatââ¬â¢s going on with program..Patriot Act..promises that were not accurate..ââ¬â¢

Just as salt the seasoning adds flavour to any meal, the restaurant Salt adds flavour to the selection of bespoke restaurants in Cape Town. Those looking to impress can do so with today's Groupon: R149 for two main meals and two glasses of La Motte wine.
Choose from a selection of Salt's tantalising main dishes that boast flavours such as red wine butter, caper raisin jus and confit potato. Each of these intricate flavours is affectionately matched with the freshest and best quality meat, fish and chicken. The atmosphere is relaxed yet trendy, especially since it is positioned in the renowned Ambassador hotel.
Watch the sun set over the ocean from your comfortable table between bites and sip on a glass of *La Motte wine, one of the wines on Salt's extensive wine list. The food is prepared with no holds barred on quality and detail and the staff are as attentive as a kid listening in on a grown up conversation.
Salty fact: Tomatoes are a delicacy in Iceland as the cold weather inhibits their growth. To combat this problem, tomato farms use teabags to absorb the ice crystals around the tomatoes, allowing more people to enjoy this delicacy with Iceland's national seasoning, salt.
*"Situated in the beautiful Franschhoek Valley in South Africa's Cape winelands, La Motte is home to some of South Africa's finest wines, recognized internationally for their exceptional quality."

This chapter teaches you about the heart of the Wisconsin Package: using sequences. It provides information that you must know to work with sequence databases (such as GenBank, EMBL (abridged), PIR, etc.) and to use your own sequences with Wisconsin Package programs for specific analysis.
You'll learn how to
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
The Wisconsin Package works with many different types of sequence files:
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
The Wisconsin Package provides you access to nucleotide and protein database sequences. When this User's Guide was printed, the following databases were available:
To refer to sequences in these databases, use the logical names listed in the online Nucleic Acid Databases and Protein Databases tables.
Choose one of the following.
In the Nucleic Acid Databases and Protein Databases tables, you will notice that in some cases there is more than one logical name to refer to a database; use whichever you are most comfortable with. For example, to refer to sequences in GenEMBL, you could use the logical name GenEMBL or GE.
Note: Because databases are site-dependent, the
online database tables may not include all the databases available to you, or your site may name the databases
differently. In addition, because the divisions of GenBank and EMBL are subject to change, these tables may not
be complete.
To find out more about the databases, read the release notes that accompany each database release. If your site receives the GCG Database Update Service, these release notes are located in the directory with the logical name genmoredata. For each database, you will find a file of release notes with the name of the database and the extension ".release". For example, to find out more about the GenBank database, type
% to genmoredata
% more genbank.release.
Each sequence in the databases contains not only the sequence data but also taxonomic information about the organism and the bibliographic citation. Below is an example of the sequence Dro5S from the Invertebrate division of GenBank.
Figure 1
You can specify database sequence entries by name. Note, however, that a sequence name is subject to change from release to release of the database. For instance, let's say an existing database sequence is merged with another sequence; the complete, merged sequence may acquire the name of the second sequence while the first sequence name is omitted. A more stable way of tracking a sequence from release to release is by its accession number, as is described in "Specifying Database Sequences by Accession Number" in this section.
Choose one of the following.
Note: Database names are case-insensitive. That is, you can type them in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case.
There are also a number of logical names that refer to the individual divisions of GenEMBL, GenBank, EMBL, and PIR. For example, GB_In refers only to those sequences in the Invertebrate division of the GenBank database, such as GB_In:Dro5S. To refer to this same division in GenEMBL (GenBank plus EMBL), you would type Invertebrate or In, for instance In:Dro5S.
For more information on the database logical names, display the online Nucleic Acid Databases and Protein Databases tables.
The sequence names of entries in the databases sometimes change from release to release, and the same entry may have a different name in GenBank and EMBL. Because of this, publications refer to sequences by accession number. Using accession numbers offers three advantages over sequence names:
Specifying a database sequence by accession number is much like specifying one by name. Database names and accession numbers are case-insensitive. That is, you can type them in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case.
Type the name of the database (for example, GE, which is the GenEMBL database), a colon (:), and the accession number (for example, U00069)--GE:U00069. For more information on the database logical names, see the Nucleic Acid Databases and Protein Databases tables.
Note: You cannot use wildcards to specify sequences by accession number.
If you don't know the database of the accession number, type % typedata -REF erence accession_number, for example % typedata -REFerence U00069. The program finds the sequence file in the appropriate database and displays its reference information (that is, everything but the sequence itself) on your screen. The first line of this reference information tells you the database in which the sequence resides. For example, in the illustration below, the sequence U00069 is in the Bacterial (BCT) database.
If you also want to see the sequence information, use % typedata without the -REFerence parameter. Or, if you want to copy the sequence to your directory, use the Fetch program.
When a sequence is first entered into EMBL, GenBank, PIR, or SWISS-PROT, it is assigned a unique primary accession number. If that sequence is ever merged with another sequence, the accession number of the original sequence becomes a secondary accession number in the merged sequence.
Figure 2
The Wisconsin Package programs treat primary and secondary accession numbers the same, as long as the accession number you use is unique. Therefore, you can access unique secondary accession numbers as well as primary accession numbers. However, if you use an accession number that occurs more than once in a database, or if you try to use an accession number that does not exist, Wisconsin Package programs will display a message saying they cannot read your sequence. If this is the case, use the LookUp program to determine the accession number's corresponding sequence name and/or primary accession number.
If the accession number you use to specify a sequence has become a secondary accession number, there is no guarantee that the sequence is exactly the same as when it had a primary accession number. That is, the original sequence may be only a portion of a new, larger entry.
You may want to find out if a primary accession number has become secondary. For example, let's say you want to view a sequence listed in a journal. However, if you retrieve that sequence by accession number from the databases, it may already have been incorporated into a larger sequence.
Choose from the following.
The reference information scrolls on your screen with the accession numbers near the top. The primary accession number always appears first, before the secondary accession numbers.

Much of the work you perform may revolve around single sequences, which are sequence files stored in your personal directories. There are three ways to create single sequence files: 1) by using SeqEd, 2) by using a text editor and the Reformat program, or 3) by using SeqLab, the graphical user interface to the Wisconsin Package.
Below is an example single nucleotide sequence file created with SeqEd.
Figure 3
You can store single database sequences in your personal directories as well as import single sequences created by other sequence analysis software and reformat them to use with the Wisconsin Package. For more information on importing sequences, see the "Reformatting Sequence Files to GCG Format" section in this chapter.
You can create sequences from scratch in the Wisconsin Package or edit existing sequences. Each sequence must have a "type" associated with it, denoting the sequence as either a nucleotide or a protein. To specify the sequence type, you can add the parameter -NUCleotide or -PROtein to the command line when you run SeqEd or Reformat. If you forget to do so, the programs determine the type for you based on the symbols in the sequence. Note that because nucleotide and protein sequences share some symbols, the programs can guess incorrectly at the sequence type.
Choose from the following.
Heading. (optional) May contain any number of lines of text at the top of the file describing the sequence.
Dividing Line. Consists of a single line containing two periods in succession (..) to separate heading information from the sequence. This line is required only if you include heading information.
Sequence. Contains the sequence information in any format. Each line of the sequence cannot be longer than 512 characters.
Note: You also can use a text editor to modify existing sequence files, although we do not recommend this method. Once you modify a sequence with a text editor, the checksum of the sequence changes, and Wisconsin Package programs will not recognize the sequence. Therefore, if you use a text editor to modify a sequence, you must use the Reformat program to rewrite the file into GCG format.
Choose one of the following.
TIP - Sometimes the sequence files do not have characters in common; that is, you cannot use a wildcard to name several of them. If this is the case, you can create a list file to name multiple sequences. For more information, see "Using List Files" in this chapter.
Sequence type (nucleotide or protein) is an inherent part of a sequence. You can determine the type of a sequence by looking at the sequence file. Sequences in GCG format contain a dividing line between optional text heading and the sequence data. Consider the following example of a typical dividing line:
Gamma.Seq Length: 11375 August 2, 1998 10:09 Type: N Checksum: 6474 ..
The sequence type should appear on the dividing line as either Type: N for nucleotide or Type: P for protein. If the dividing line doesn't contain a Type: field, the Wisconsin Package infers the sequence type from the characters in the sequence. This inference may not always be correct.
If the Type: field of any sequence is incorrect or missing, you should correct it with the Reformat program.
Use the Reformat program. Type % reformat -NUC leotide filename or % reformat -PROtein filename. For more information, see Reformat in the Program Manual.
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
A list file, formerly known as a file of sequence names, is what its name implies: a file containing a list of sequence names and their locations. You can think of list files as a way to organize your sequences on a project-by-project basis.
You will find list files useful for specifying sequences from multiple files in one file that you can use as input to a program. List files can contain any number of the following types of sequences:
You can use list files with any program that accepts multiple sequences as input. A program prompt asking "What sequence(s)?" implies that the program accepts multiple sequences.
Below is an example of a list file.
Figure 4
In addition to sequence specifications, each sequence in a list file may optionally contain sequence attributes. These attributes include:
Begin Position. (Begin:n) Shows the base position you want to start with, where n= 1 to the length of the sequence.
End Position. (End:n) Shows the base position you want to end with, where n = 1 to the length of the sequence.
Strand. (Strand:+ or -) Defines the forward or reverse complement nucleic acid sequence strand, where + = forward strand and - = reverse strand.
Sequence Topology: Linear or Circular. (Circ:T or F) Defines the strand as linear or circular, where T = circular and F = linear.
Sequence Weight. (Wgt:n.n) Defines the sequence weight, or the significance of the sequence in comparison to other sequences. That is, you may not want all sequences accounted for equally to determine a result. Therefore, you can give some sequences greater weight than others. This attribute is of use only when you are using two or more sequences in the analysis.
Join. (Join:Sequence_Name) Indicates that the sequence segment should be concatenated with the next sequence in the list that has an identical Join: Sequence_Name attribute. Several contiguous sequences specified in a list file with the same Join:Sequence_Name attribute are concatenated together. (Assemble, Translate, and LookUp are the only Wisconsin Package programs that use the Join attribute. SeqLab uses the Join attribute to concatenate list file sequences in the Editor.)
Note: In Version 9.0 or later, the following programs use some or all of these sequence attributes in the command-line version of the Package: Assemble, CodonFrequency, Distances, Diverge, FrameSearch, PileUp, PlotSimilarity, ProfileMake, Seg, Translate, and Xnu.
File Type. (optional) Begins with the line (all uppercase) !!SEQUENCE_LIST 1.0. SeqLab uses the file type to improve performance when loading files. Do not edit or delete the file type. If present, it must appear on the first line of the file.
Description. (optional) Contains informative text, including the date of creation, describing what is in the file.
Dividing Line. (required) Includes two periods (..) that must appear on the line preceding the sequence list.
Sequence List. (required) Includes the single sequences from your personal directory or a database, sequence specifications using wildcards, RSF files, MSF files, or list files. You must provide the database or directory specification. You can add sequences in any order.
Sequence Attributes. (optional) Can include the begin and end position, indicate the forward or reverse strand, define the strand as linear or circular, give the sequence a weight in comparison with other sequences, and indicate whether the sequence is concatenated with other sequences in the list.
Sequence Comments. (optional) Includes an exclamation point (!) followed by a short comment or definition of the sequence(s) or list file.
Use a text editor of your choice and modify the file as necessary.
TIP - One way to specify a subset of sequences is to "comment out" those unwanted sequences within the list file. If you comment out sequences instead of deleting them, you can use them at a later time.
To comment out sequences:
- Open the list file in the text editor of your choice and find the sequences you do not want to use.
- Type an exclamation point (!) in front of the name of each sequence you do not want. For example
Figure 5
- Save the file and exit the text editor.
- To specify the list file, type an at sign (@) followed by the list filename and extension, for example @hsp70.list. The program will use only those sequences that are not commented out.
Some Wisconsin Package programs can produce output in list file format. Any program that creates multiple sequence output files and can organize those sequence specifications in a list file supports the -LIStfile parameter. You can then use that list file as input to other programs.
Programs that can create list output files and their parameters (if necessary) are listed below.
(if necessary)
Note: Some of the programs listed above, such as LineUp and ProfileSearch, may include additional program-specific information in the output list file. Others, such as FastA and BLAST, may include sequence alignments. This extra information does not affect the list file's performance.
Type an at sign (@) and the name of the list file and extension, for example @hsp70.list.
Note: You cannot use wildcards to specify a list file. For example, you cannot specify @hsp*.list.

A Rich Sequence Format (RSF) file contains one or more sequences that may or may not be related. In addition to the sequence data, each sequence can be richly annotated with descriptive sequence information such as:
RSF files are powerful for using with SeqLab, the graphical user interface to the Wisconsin Package. Because they store positional information, you can display RSF files within SeqLab's Editor mode to view and edit sequence alignments and features. The features annotation allows you to graphically view and align sequences based on features as well as run programs on sequence regions selected by feature. You also will find RSF files useful for distributing sequences to colleagues, since these files contain each sequence's data and descriptive information.
Note: If you plan on using SeqLab for the bulk of your analyses, it is best to save your files as RSF if possible. RSF files are more richly annotated than list files or MSF files, which do not save sequence features information as part of the file.
Below is an example of an RSF file.
Figure 6
You may find the following components in an RSF file:
The colors, shapes, and fill patterns depicted in SeqLab's Editor are defined in a resource file called feature.cols. To customize these attributes, copy feature.cols to your current directory by typing % fetch feature.cols. Then edit the file in the text editor of your choice, for example vi. The file is internally documented.
Choose from the following.
(if necessary)
Use SeqLab. If you load an RSF file into SeqLab's Editor, it graphically displays the sequences in the file. For more information, see Chapter 2, Editing Sequences and Alignments in the SeqLab Guide.
You can also use a text editor to modify an RSF file. If you do, however, the file's checksum changes, and Wisconsin Package programs will not recognize the file. Therefore, if you use a text editor to modify an RSF file, you must use the Reformat program with the -RSF parameter to rewrite the file into GCG format.
Choose one of the following.
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
You can combine multiple sequences in a single file, called a Multiple Sequence Format (MSF) file. MSF files include not only the sequence name but also the sequence itself, which is usually aligned with the other sequences in the file. You can specify a single sequence within an MSF file, a subset of sequences, or all sequences. Like other sequences, those in an MSF file can be used with other Wisconsin Package programs.
The following illustration shows an MSF file created with PileUp.
Figure 8
You may find the following components in an MSF file:
Choose from the following.
(if necessary)
Note: If you use % reformat -MSF to create an MSF file, it does not align the sequences.
Use LineUp. For more information, see LineUp in the Program Manual.
You also can use a text editor to modify an MSF file. If you do so, however, the file's checksum changes, and Wisconsin Package programs will not recognize the file. Therefore, if you use a text editor to modify an MSF file, you must use the Reformat program with the -MSF parameter to rewrite it into GCG format.
Choose from the following.
Note: You cannot use wildcards to name an MSF filename (that is, you cannot specify pic*.msf). You can use wildcards only between the curly brackets { }. Also, an MSF sequence specification must contain a sequence name or wildcard within the curly brackets. The MSF filename alone is not enough.
TIP - One way to specify a subset of sequences is to "comment out" those unwanted sequences within the MSF file. If you comment out sequences instead of deleting them, you can use them at a later time.
To comment out sequences:
- Open the MSF file in the text editor of your choice and find the sequences you do not want to use in the Name/Weight area toward the top of the file.
- Type an exclamation point (!) in front of the "Name:" of each sequence you do not want. For example
Figure 9
- Save the file and exit the text editor.
- In response to a program prompt, type the MSF filename and extension followed by an asterisk (*) wildcard in curly brackets, for example picorna.msf{*}. The program will use only those sequences which are not commented out.
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
The Wisconsin Package makes it easy for you to copy sequences from databases to your directory. You can copy single or multiple sequences from your local databases using Fetch or from NCBI using NetFetch. For additional information on Fetch and NetFetch, see the Program Manual.
Choose from the following.
TIP - If you know the database in which a sequence resides, you can speed its retrieval by including the database in the entry name specification, for example % fetch In:Dro5S.
To copy a single sequence from NCBI, type % netfetch entry_name or % netfetch accession_number, for example % netfetchz z12136. The sequence is retrieved and stored in an RSF file in your current directory.
TIP - You also can copy multiple sequences from the databases by creating a list file of those sequences of interest (see "Using List Files" in this chapter for more information). This method is useful if the sequence names do not have characters in common. Then, to copy the sequences from the database, type % fetch @ list_filename, for example % fetch @hiv-gag.list. The sequences in the list file are copied to your current directory as separate sequences.
To copy multiple sequences from NCBI, indicate the name of a NetBLAST output file, for example % netfetch zea2_maize.blastp. The sequences are retrieved and stored in an RSF file in your current directory.
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
You may want to read the reference information associated with a sequence or view the sequence itself. You can easily view the contents of sequence files by using the TypeData program. Using these commands, you can view database sequences or those in your personal directories, including single sequences, RSF files, MSF files, or list files.You can easily view the contents of sequence files by using the TypeData program. Using this command, you can view database sequences or those in your personal directories, including single sequences, RSF files, MSF files, or list files.
Note: You can also use SeqLab, the graphical interface to the Package to view and edit sequences. For more information, see the SeqLab Guide.
Type % typedata entry_name , for example % typedata GB_IN:Dro5S. The sequence data, including reference information, scrolls on your screen. Note that you cannot edit a file using the TypeData command.
You can control screen output in the following ways:
For more information on controlling screen output, see "Controlling Screen Output" in the "Quick Reference" section of Chapter 1, Getting Started.
Type % more filename, for example % more gamma.seq. The sequence data, including reference information, displays one screen at a time. To advance from screen to screen, press the <Space Bar>.

At some point in your work with the Wisconsin Package, you may need to reformat sequence files into GCG format. This may happen when
You can use a number of differently formatted sequences with the Wisconsin Package--sequences created with a text editor or automated sequencer; sequences in a different software format (for example Staden or IntelliGenetics); or sequences in the database formats of GenBank, EMBL, PIR, or SWISS-PROT.
Each sequence in the Wisconsin Package must have a "type" associated with it, denoting the sequence as either a nucleotide or a protein. To specify the sequence type, you can add the parameter -NUCleotide or -PROtein to the command line when you run Reformat, FromStaden, FromEMBL, FromFastA, FromGenBank, FromPIR, or FromIG. If you forget to do so, the programs will determine the type for you based on the symbols in the sequence. Note that because nucleotide and protein sequences share some symbols, the programs can guess incorrectly at the sequence type.
Choose one of the following.
Note: If the sequence file contains descriptive or reference information in addition to the sequence information, you first must open the file in a text editor and insert a line that contains two periods (..) above the sequence information. Then use Reformat to rewrite the sequence to GCG format.
Note: You can use Staden sequences directly with the Wisconsin Package without reformatting them by adding -STAden to the command line when you run a Wisconsin Package program.
Note: You can use FastA sequences directly with the Wisconsin Package without reformatting them by adding -FASTA to the command line when you run a Wisconsin Package program.

The information in this section is intended for users who are familiar with using sequences within the Wisconsin Package. This section teaches you how to
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
You can create your own personal databases, similar to GenBank and EMBL databases, for searching with the Wisconsin Package. This option is a particular advantage if you frequently work with large list files. A large set of sequences is more compact to store and faster to search if it is assembled into a database. Thus, you can convert your large list files into databases for faster searching capabilities. When sequences are assembled into a database, all Wisconsin Package programs work with them exactly as they work with public databases (GenBank, EMBL, PIR, etc.).
The program DataSet creates databases from any set of sequences you specify.
The program displays the prompt "What should I call the database?"
Your personal database logical names are automatically assigned in a shell script called .datasetrc in your home directory.
Specifying a personal database you created using DataSet is the same as specifying a sequence from a public database such as GenEMBL, GenBank, PIR, etc.
Type the logical name of your database, followed by a colon (:), followed by the sequence(s) of interest. For instance, using the example above, you could type HSP:Hs70_Brelc to specify a single sequence in the personal database, or HSP:* to specify all sequences in the personal database. For more information, see "Using Database Sequences" in this chapter.
[ Previous | Top | Next ]
You can refine list files, RSF files, or MSF files to fit your analysis needs:
For more information on the above programs, see the Program Manual.
Note: You cannot combine MSF files in this way.
Note: You cannot "comment out" sequences in RSF files in this way.

Apple has secured a patent for its store design, including the rectangular glass facade seen in this mall store. Silicon Valley Business Journal
Retailers with Apple store envy—and there are plenty of them—better get over it when it comes to design, or they may just find themselves in court.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last week granted Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) a trademark for its signature design and layout, including the rectangular glass façade, the Genius Bar and recessed lighting found in its mall stores. Apple has been after this trademark since 2010, but its patent application was rejected twice because the company failed to prove the design was "inherently distinctive," the Silicon Valley Business Journal reports. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), whose stores look similar, applied to delay the trademark so it could formulate a response to fight it twice but ultimately elected not to.
Retail companies hoping to emulate the Apple store experience is nothing new, and for good reason. Apple is the most profitable store in America, with its sales per square foot coming in at $6,050 last year, more than double the nearest competitor, Tiffany & Co., which does $3,017 in sales per square foot, according to figures from Retail Sails. Costco Wholesale is the leader in total sales per store, with sales of $137.2 million per store on average compared to $51.1 million per store for Apple, but when it comes to making the most of every inch of selling space, no one beats Apple.
That type of success hasn't escaped the notice of the retail world. A Hearts on Fire jewelry store in Las Vegas we wrote about last year does not have the rectangular glass facade, but it does have the open feel of an Apple store—unusual for a jewelry retailer— and a central counter where customers can sit and look at jewelry.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

The first OggCamp was a one day unconference, held in 2009 in the glamorous city of Wolverhampton. It was an instant success, with over 100 people queuing through the corridors of the hotel to get in. The event was run as a joint effort by two podcasts, Linux Outlaws and the Ubuntu Podcast. The climax of the day was a live joint recording between the two podcasts which featured the now-famous raffle-cast.
The first event was such a success that people immediately demanded another one. A two-day event was held in Liverpool at the Black-E in 2010, which had almost finished an extensive programme of renovation. Even more people came and there was an even wider range of speakers and subjects.
For its third year OggCamp moved down south, to the leafy surrounds of Farnham in Surrey. The massive venue was crammed with guests attending the two day event, many new to OggCamp. For the first time a scheduled speaker track was introduced in the main stage, with the remaining two tracks being run as an unconference.
OggCamp moved back up north to Liverpool in 2012, with LJMU providing a splendid venue. Alongside the scheduled main stage were three unconference tracks, an open hardware jam and a coffee shop! There was a video Q&A with Stephen Fry and some people built a house in the foyer.
Although started by two podcasts, OggCamp has now become something else: a genuine community event. It's the biggest free software and free culture event in the UK and it's still entirely free to get in.
To see how much fun people have at OggCamp, just google.

Chevy Paddle Shifters - Shifty Business
As they say, here is the whole kit and caboodle. There's an optional polished aluminum paddle or a black anodized paddle. The complete setup comes with the paddle shifter, the wireless receiver, keypad, computer, actuator, wiring harness, and various hardware and bracketry.
Before installation, the old transmission linkage is the only OEM equipment removal required. Once these items are out of the way, all systems are go.
The first part of the install requires some time underneath the vehicle. This rail bracket attaches to the side of the transmission pan.
With the bracket in place, the actuator bolts right onto the rail. And the wiring harness is routed up into the cab of the vehicle. Six feet of supplied wiring makes it easy to choose how and where the wire will be routed.
Installing the actuator is a fairly straight forward and simple process.
When attaching the actuator arm to the transmission, make sure the arm is not at the end range of its motion, or in the fully retracted position. We are done working on the underside of the vehicle for the moment.
Now that we are topside, the brains of the operation gets wired next. The great thing about the Smart Shift computer is the options. It can be installed anywhere free of moisture, including under the dash, under the seat, in the trunk, etc. The wiring is also a fairly simple process. Black is the ground, red is the lead 12-volt ignition source, brown goes to the brake light switch, and yellow is for a Gear Vendors unit. A full set of detailed and easy to understand instructions are included. Even someone like me can understand the instructions.
With the computer wired and out of the way, we will install the paddle next. The shift arm on the column needs to be removed. It's no longer needed.
The paddle installs between the steering wheel and the hub. No wiring is required during this install. There are small batteries in the paddle that last for three years, and this is what powers the RF transmitter.
With the steering wheel back on, this is how clean the set up should look.
Now that the computer is programmed, and the actuator arm knows where each position on the transmission is, the arm and the linkage can now be tightened.
The key pad and RF receiver should be installed next, and powered up. The keypad is where most of the Smart Shift computer programming will take place. Included in the install sheet is a standard set of directions and templates that will apply to 90 percent of all possible setups.
There are a series of dip switches that correspond with the buttons on the keypad. This is where having a buddy helps. Have a pal under the vehicle, place the transmission in park, then on the keypad program the park button and set the dip switch accordingly. Then move down the list to drive, neutral, reverse, and so on. The installation instructions have a full page dedicated to programming the computer.
Lastly, install of the keypad. The keypad can be installed anywhere within reach of the driver. The A-pillar, dash, console, and even the ashtray are all options.
In this install, the keypad was installed right into the dash of the Chevelle.
And this faceplate sandwiches the keypad, all together.
Lights on or off, here's what you will see once the entire system is installed. The only visible items should be the keypad and paddle shifter.
The right paddle is for upshifting, the left for downshifting. It is now time to officially go out there and flog the transmission. Have fun.

Iberia notes that on 22 June it appealed an arbitrator's decision in relation to an industrual dispute with pilots' union Sepla.
"The appeal relates to concerns that, among other reasons, the arbitrator went beyond his mandate and made a decision that will adversely affect management's ability to maintain an appropriate cost base for the business," the airline says, without giving further details.

(CBS) U.S. airplanes face a cold reality this winter as a potential shortage of the chemical used to de-ice planes looms, according to a Federal Aviation Administration memo.
The FAA pointed to labor disputes among mining facilities that manufacture the chemical potassium acetate, which is used to keep planes and runways free from snow and ice.
In the memo, dated Oct. 29, the FAA says it expects 60 percent less de-icing fluid.
"It is possible that runways may not be able to be maintained to the same level as previous years during winter storms," said an FAA memo sent to airlines Oct. 29. That could prompt a reduction in the typical flow of takeoffs and landings during storms, the memo said.
A 99-day strike at a mine in Canada has helped stall production of the de-icing fluid, the USA Today reported.
