Copy Number Variation - How does it work? AskTaqMan #34
August 19, 2015
Genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, using TaqMan Assays has been very well established. But have you heard about copy number variations?
Copy number variation (CNV) is a type of structural variation that occurs when a DNA segment of 1 kb to several megabases in length is present in variable copy numbers compared to a reference genome. These CNVs can influence gene expression and can be associated with specific phenotypes and diseases. This variation covers approximately 12% of the human genome and includes deletions and duplications. TaqMan Copy Number assays offer a targeted approach combining high accuracy, specificity, ease of use and sample throughput, to validate copy number changes or screen large sample sets.

The first date is often defined by excitement, hope and anticipation fueled by the possibility of "discovery" – in this case the discovery of someone with whom you share common interests and passions. But, just as commonly, these feelings can be supplanted by the trepidation, angst and anxiety of an evening, or heaven help you, a day of monotone conversation, searching for that commonality but never quite getting past the small talk. For those of us who have been through this process, three recommendations come to mind – enrich for "prospects" that that are most likely to yield a "positive" result. So what does this have to do with next generation sequencing (NGS) I hear you say? The ability to generate massive amounts of data in a single experiment incites the spirit of discovery in us all.

Primer design is like art. There is more than one design to cover the region of interest. Are you an "Artist"?
Primers are crucial to the success of target amplification and subsequent sequencing in PCR and Sanger sequencing workflows. In the typical Sanger sequencing workflow from genomic DNA, one needs to first amplify the target by PCR, and then subsequently run the Sanger sequencing reaction. If you start from purified plasmid DNA, one only needs to run the Sanger sequencing reaction. PCR amplification requires 2 primers from opposite strands that determine the region of sequence amplified in the forward and reverse direction.

We received a great question from Philip at Kuwait University about terms used when talking about Sanger Sequencing data. I thought you all might be interested in learning more about this topic, so I talked to my friend Mike in our Technical Support group to get a quick lesson on Sanger sequencing data terms.
Philip's Q: Greetings! I was wondering if you could help us understand the term "trace" and necessary QC inference from the raw data obtained from capillary electrophoresis? What is the significance of signal strength? What is Trace score, Median PUP, offscale and QV20+?

If you are new to Next Generation Sequencing, you've heard about the large amount of data it generates and the challenges with finding meaning in all that data. But, don't worry, just like working at the lab late at night, bioinformatics doesn't have to be scary.
The power of next generation sequencing, or NGS, is the ability to interrogate 100's, or 1000's of genes or even whole genomes in a single sequencing run. While the throughput and speed are ideal for accelerating genetic research, the amount of data may be overwhelming. Finding what you are looking for can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

When it comes to quantifying molecular targets in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) samples, real-time PCR has long been trusted as the gold standard. However, new research is showing that digital PCR holds new promise in two key areas: increased sensitivity and absolute quantification.
As Mary Alikian from Imperial College London explains in the latest LabChat, real-time PCR presents the challenge of quantification using standard curves, which always made it difficult for different labs to compare their data. On top of eliminating the need for standard curves, digital PCR also allows for deeper quantification amidst a background of wild types. According to Mary, quantification can feasibly increase from 1 in a 100,000 to 1 in a 1,000,000 using digital PCR.

Which master mix do you choose? How do you know it's the right one? Choosing the right master mix is an important step when performing your experiment because you want to make sure it is completely optimized for success.
It's a constant argument. There have been rap battles that tear labs apart… Which do you use, SYBR® or TaqMan® master mix?
So what is a master mix anyway? It's a mixture of polymerase, salts, magnesium, dNTPs, and optimized reaction buffer. Your template and primers are the only additions necessary to perform qPCR. Different formulations are good for different situations or applications such as Genotyping,
gene expression, MicroRNA quantification, and virus detection.
After his presentation at ESHG 2015, Dr. Csaba Bödör, Semmelweis University, shared his experience as an early access customer for the new Applied Biosystems QuantStudio™ 3 and 5 Real time PCR systems.
Dr. Bödör uses Competitive Allele-Specific TaqMan® PCR (or castPCR) to detect and quantitate rare mutations in blood in leukemia and other myeloproliferative disorders and hopes that the research he is doing will ultimately enable development of better diagnostics in the future. Dr. Bödör found the new QuantStudio instruments to be very user friendly and is excited about the new connectivity and data analysis that is possible with these cloud enabled instruments.

How does Fragment Analysis work? – Seq It Out #3
July 15, 2015
Do you ever find yourself asking - "How does fragment analysis work and why would one perform fragment analysis in their lab?"
Let's check it out.
Fragment analysis refers to a genetic analysis technique used for a wide variety of applications such as mutation detection, genotyping, DNA profiling, genetic mapping and linkage analysis. Various diseases, conditions and chromosomal abnormalities are detected by this method.

Are you working with microRNA, and are you having trouble measuring them due to their small size?
Today, we are going to talk about the different microRNA assays available, and which is the right one for your application.
MicroRNAs are small and around 22 nucleotide noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Due to their small size, the measurement of miRNAs presents some special challenges.

Whether you are new to next generation sequencing, or an old hand, you have likely encountered terms like base quality, Q-score, consensus accuracy and so on. This could have happened when you were reading a NGS review or listening to a bright-eyed grad student presenting her new variant calling algorithm at a poster session. Either way, you may have been left thinking, "Huh?"
Let's turn that "Huh?" to an "Oh, yeah" while we take a closer look at the statistics of sequencing.

We at Behind the Bench hope you have enjoyed this series on Sanger Sequencing by Capillary Electrophoresis, and we conclude with this final post to point out different online resources to access.
There are three guides available to download. The first, the Fragment Analysis Guide, is a 218-page electronic PDF comprehensive in its scope. This guide covers topics from experimental design (including different dye and size standards and primer design considerations), to optimization of PCR, to optimization of capillary electrophoresis for fragment analysis (at instrument-specific detail).

As next generation sequencing evolves, the ability to create reproducible, high quality libraries becomes increasingly important. The Ion AmpliSeq™ method has proven useful to reliably generate quality libraries from as little as 10 ng of nucleic acid. We developed the Ion Chef™ system to offer an automated solution for templating and sequencing chip preparation. Here we demonstrate the marriage of Ion AmpliSeq reagents with the Ion Chef system to create a fully automated library preparation solution.
As a researcher, you've been given many choices in terms of tools and techniques. And for some who are intimately familiar with real-time PCR, you are probably hearing about digital PCR and its emerging applications. So the question is, when do you use one or the other or both.
June 17, 2015
Let's go back to the basics and explore the technology platform that has been regarded as the gold standard for many years. You guessed it – we're talking about Sanger Sequencing by capillary electrophoresis. Many might ask, "why is it called Sanger Sequencing?" Sanger Sequencing is named after the inventor of this ground breaking technology, Dr. Frederick Sanger, who developed this method over 40 years ago in the mid-70s. So, what are the basics of Sanger Sequencing?

On-demand video is part of everyday life. Streaming services let you binge watch your favorite TV show or even learn how to batheyour hedgehog. It also turns out that researchers are turning to YouTube to find answers to their everyday questions in the lab. Thermo Fisher Scientific figured this our pretty early on, and launched a dedicated video series for qPCR, called Ask TaqMan. Since premiering in June 2012, the Ask TaqMan has tallied up over a quarter million views with over 9800 hours of viewing time by life science researchers. What's more, the videos are based on real-world questions sent in by viewers.

Detection and quantification of mutant alleles in tumor tissue is important to cancer research. Testing for the presence of mutations incirculating free DNA (cfDNA) is one of the less invasive research methods available at this time. Digital PCR presents a research tool for mutation detection in cfDNA at a sensitivity level of 1% and below. Challenges associated with digital PCR experiments for rare allele detection include understanding the limit of detection of the assay and platform. This work compares false positive assessment strategies using the signal levels of the no-amplification cluster. Once the false positive call rate is established, this work outlines a method to determine the limit of detection of the assay and platform, at a given level of confidence. Given the number of partitions, the interrogated volume and the false call rate, the tradeoffs between sample load and sensitivity are also discussed.

At ESHG 2015 in Glasgow, it wasn't too hard for attendees to have their heads in the clouds - see what I did there? And when it comes to dealing with your projects' data, that's a good thing! Mike Lelivelt discusses the advances that have been made on the Thermo Fisher Cloud in order to extend the user experience into the Cloud. Data is able to be stored, managed, shared with collaborators, accessed from either home or work and no software needs to be installed for analysis because the tools are already there. And since all the data is managed online, you don't have to worry about keeping large files locally, where they can take up computing space and may be more susceptible to loss.

Survey and interview studies conducted over a three year period revealed that researchers are not satisfied with their current reversetranscriptase and are performing reactions with i
ncreasingly difficult samples, such as poorly purified RNA and unpurified RNA (direct RT) that both contain inhibitors. To meet this performance gap, the Thermo Fisher Life Sciences Solutions group produced a new reverse transcriptase, SuperScript® IV, and experiments we performed show that it is the most robust reverse transcriptase compared to other enzymes. SuperScript® IV characterization was performed in the context of "real world" situations where users do not have perfect RNA samples. In the presence of a variety of inhibitors, we demonstrate that SuperScript® IV possesses superior performance in a variety of inhibitors, such as alcohols, salts, detergents, phenol, heparin, hematin, bile salts, and formalin typically found in sample preparation reagents, cell lines, blood, feces, and FFPE samples. This enzyme can even detect RNA targets in unpurified RNA samples (directly lysed cells) and whole blood without sacrificing sensitivity and yield. The introduction of SuperScript® IV enables researchers to obtain more consistent results independent of sample quality and simplify and speed up workflows by eliminating RNA purification. -

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — With his plan to take Dell Inc. private, Michael Dell opens a new chapter in his journey from bad boy to bruised veteran of the tech industry, the pioneer who got some things right, and others wrong.
The $24.4 billion buyout deal is his latest big bet aimed at clearing the path in Dell's bid to transform itself into a formidable corporate IT powerhouse, though some analysts say going private isn't going to get rid of the company's daunting market challenges.
Why is the founder and CEO of Dell Inc. US:DELL taking the company private?
"Reputation and greed, in our view," Discern analyst Cindy Shaw said in a note. "We believe Michael Dell is once again hungry. Thirty years ago, we think he hungered for success and wealth. In 2013, we think he hungers to restore his legacy and personal balance sheet." Full story: Dell to go private in $24.4 billion deal.
IMichael Dell's legacy is marked by a maverick streak and a reputation as a disrupter.
He famously annoyed Steve Jobs by publicly saying in 1997 that if it were up to him to decide what to do with the then-struggling Apple Inc., he would "shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Michael Dell is taking his company private for reasons of 'reputation and greed, in our view.'
A decade ago, he strongly suggested that Sun Microsystems was doomed.
Michael Dell was wrong on Apple AAPL, +2.39% and right on Sun, whose CEO, Scott McNealy, had once dismissed Dell as "the greatest spare-parts distributor out there."
That attack was based largely on the business model Michael Dell cooked up as a teenager, selling PCs out of his University of Texas dorm room — and which helped him shake up in the tech industry and compete against much older and larger rivals such as Hewlett-Packard HPQ, +0.41% and IBM IBM, +0.07%
Dell kicked off his storied career by selling PCs directly to consumers, doing away with middlemen. And he did it fast, with pretty much no inventory and negligible investment in research and development, relying mainly on the innovations of his two key partners, Intel Corp. INTC, -1.17% and Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.72%
By the early 2000s, Dell was the king of PCs, besting even H-P, which initially could not keep up with the Texas juggernaut even after the Silicon Valley icon gobbled up Compaq Computer.
Some of Dell's rivals dismissed the company as the Wal-Mart of the tech industry, deriding it as a lowly assembler and re-seller of other companies' innovations.
But Dell's direct-sales model was so successful that Michael Dell gambled by taking on the server market. It worked, turning Dell into a server powerhouse, outmaneuvering the once-dominant Sun Microsystems. He then took aim at additional markets, including handsets, networking gear and printers.
Just 10 years ago, Dell was on a roll. Asked by a New York Times reporter about repeated criticisms of the Dell model and direction, Michael Dell quipped, "I've seen this movie before. Hey, order the popcorn. I'm going to enjoy it."
But then the market changed. PCs lost momentum. Consumers turned to new devices, as seen in the rise of smartphones and tablets.

Price Police officers Scott R. Olsen and Manny Escoto are sporting their new official Olympics 2002 jackets. The two local policemen will join hundreds of other Utah law enforcement officers at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Other local personnel attending the upcoming event include representatives of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, the Utah Highway Patrol, the department of telecommunication, the state transportation department and the Utah Department of Corrections.
The officers will report for duty the first week in February and become part of the Olympic Police Force.
Although they have all received special training, additional training for specific assignments will come once they report for duty.
The law enforcement officers could be working any number of jobs, including transporting and escorting dignitaries to traffic patrol duty.
Olsen and Escoto are looking forward to being part of the 2002 Winter Olympics and call it a 'once in a lifetime opportunity.'
'A lot of security measures have changed since Sept. 11,' pointed out Olsen. "And it is an honor to be working side by side with officers from throughout the world who are using these games as a model for developing security systems."

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."
Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come.
The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
"An entrepreneurial tale of universal wisdom we can apply to the business of our own lives." Spencer Johnson, M.D., co-author of The One-Minute Manager
"[His] books have had a life-enchanting effect on millions of people." London Times
"A magical little volume." San Francisco Chronicle

"[This] Brazilian wizard makes books disappear from stores." New York Times
"A touching, inspiring fable." Indianapolis Star
"A sweetly exotic tale for young and old alike." Publishers Weekly
"A remarkable tale about the most magical of all journeys: the quest to fulfill one's destiny." Anthony Robbins, author of Awaken the Giant Within
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho continues to change the lives of its readers forever. With more than two million copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has established itself as a modern classic, universally admired.
Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world, and this tenth anniversary edition, with a new introduction from the author, will only increase that following. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

Mosque blaze an 'abhorrent act of criminal arson'
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Yellow police tape barricading the entrance of the Salman Al-Farisi Islamic Center Sunday morning, kept mosque attendees Ahsan Saeed and his brother Mohsin Saeed in the parking lot.
"We can't go in," said Ahsan. "The FBI and police have had it blocked off all morning."
Ahsan and Mohsin have attended the Islamic center, which is also a mosque, for 24 years and grew up just across the lot from where they're standing. They said the mosque is like a home to them, a place where they grew up, and where came to love Islam.
The mosque is a cultural epicenter for the estimated 1,000 Muslims living in the Corvallis area. It's the only mosque within a nearly 50 mile radius and attracts those who want to pray or study Islam.
The mosque attracted the suspect involved in the attempted Portland Christmas tree bombing. Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, attended the mosque a handful of times while he was in Corvallis taking classes at Oregon State University.
When Mohsin heard that Mohamud had been arrested for the attempted terrorist attack and that he had a link with the mosque, he said he had a feeling things would get worse.
So when Mohsin learned that someone had intentionally started a fire early Sunday morning at the mosque, he said unfortunately, he wasn't surprised.
"[After his arrest] I told everyone to be careful," said Mohsin. "I said that they've linked him with Corvallis now so you better watch out."
Early Sunday morning, Mohsin's guttural fears became reality.
According to Corvallis Police and the FBI, just after 2 a.m. fire crews responded to a fire in a room on the back side of the mosque.
FBI officials said the fire was likely started nearby a window and that it had severely damaged the interior of one room and left slight smoke damage in adjacent rooms. Fire crews were able to put out the blaze quickly, but once they extinguished the flames, the investigation heated up.
Corvallis fire officials ruled the incident as arson Sunday morning and within just a few hours the FBI became involved in the investigation.
KVAL News spoke with Oregon FBI Special Agent Art Balizan. Balizan said that the FBI does not have hard evidence to call the arson an act of retribution upon the Islamic community following Mohamud's arrest.
"We have nothing to associate the events here with what happened in Portland," said Balizan. "We just don't know if this was somebody walking past who started the fire or if it is a targeted event."
The FBI said it is treating the incident as a case which involves civil rights violations. When asked if the arson appeared to be a hate crime, Balizan said the FBI will have to complete its interviews and gathering evidence before it can determining whether it will be considered a hate crime.
But many mosque attendees said that the attack is an 'abhorrent act of criminal arson' inspired by 'misguided retribution.'
In a statement issued by the mosque leadership Sunday afternoon, they spoke out against Mohamud's plot and declared that they repudiate acts of violence in the name of Islam.
"…We are outraged by the news of a teenage individual being involved in a plot to bomb the tree-lighting in Portland, Oregon…. One should never generalize or judge all people for the words or actions of only a few of them. What is proper is to identify the accused with reference to his act and not to his nationality, faith, or race…. We repudiate all those who commit such acts of mindless violence."
Many who attend the mosque said Mohamud has painted a violent picture of Islam that local Muslims have worked hard to denounce.
"The community here has spent so much time building up the positive image working with other groups in the community and now it's just shattered to pieces," said Ahsam. "We're labeled as a terrorist organization now, so we have to start all over again."
The FBI is offering a reward of $10,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest or conviction in connection to this arson.
If you have any information regarding the arson, please call the FBI tip line at 541-766-6506.

|Witness Sought in Fatal Shooting
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 31 January 2011 06:21
Wilkes County Authorities are looking for a witness to a shooting that killed a man shortly after noon Friday at a store on Champion-Mount Pleasant Road in Ferguson. Wilkes Sheriff Chris Shew said Melissa Hartley, 37, Wilkesboro, fatally shot James Phillip Church Jr., also 37,
of Beaver Creek Road, Boomer, that as Church reportedly tried to grab money from the register of Yadkin River Grocery and Hardware store where Hartley was working. Shew said Ms. Hartley told investigators that Church entered the store and was attempting to get money from the cash register when Ms. Hartley shot Church after he grabbed her as she tried to stop him. The matter is more complicated according to Sheriff Shew as Ms. Hartley and Church had a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship until they broke up a few days earlier. Ms. Hartley has not been charged in the case. The sheriff said investigators are trying to find a white male who apparently was in the store when the shooting occurred, a man witnesses described as being in his 60s and about 5'4" to 5'7" tall. Ms. Hartley said she left the store after the shooting and that this man was gone when she returned. Shew said, "We need this man to come forward."
Shew said authorities were told Church was in a vehicle driven by someone else when he was dropped off at the store. The initial call was an armed robbery involving a shooting at 12:07 p.m. Friday.

A bit about Tbird and HadIt.com for those who've asked...The following is on my About page, but some have been asking how this all happened. So here is my little story. Tbird US Navy 1983 – 1990 E-6 HadIt.com the website domain registered Jan 20, 1997 the domain is registered and paid for through Jan 21, 2023 at which time I plan to register it for another 15 years Lord willing and the creek don't rise. I guess the best place to start is Jan 1991; I had gotten out of the navy Dec 1990. At my separation seminar, there was a DAV rep Jim Milton he told us to bring our medical records in and he would look through them for us and let us know if we should file a claim with the VA. Well, bless his heart, he opened my medical file, reads the first insert, looks me straight in the eye, and says you will be 50% for the rest of your life and he would file the claim for me. 50% was for surgery I had in the service. True to his word he met with me and talked with me for a long time filled out my paper work and urged me to file for PTSD. I would not file the PTSD claim, nor even discuss it. By Feb 1991 I had moved to the San Francisco bay area and was staying at a friends apartment and pretty much I was just a puddle. In desperation one night I called suicide hot line, I had no job, no idea about going to the VA. They talked with me for a long time and explained to me that I could go to the local VA hospital even if I did not have insurance. Now, I know what you are thinking if I was 50% why didn't I just go to the VA in the first place, two reasons 1, this was Feb 1991 and the 50% didn't come till May and 2, even if it had come through it is unlikely that I would have had the mental acuity at the time to put the two together. I relate this here because it is where so many of our brothers and sisters are coming from, perhaps where you started. Fuzzy and unsure, in pain and sometimes homeless they come to the VA hospital for help. And that is where I ended up. Up to the pysch ward I went, blah, blah, blah, a few days later I was released with a promise of a call from the out patient program, which I would soon be entering. Blah, blah, blah, after many missed communications, and no call backs I was at the Day Hospital everyday M-F. And this brothers and sisters is where I began to learn and formulate my plan for HadIt.com. Veterans, veterans everywhere…I spent a year in the day hospital and about another year at a sheltered workshop before I got back on my feet. So I just talked to veterans everyday waiting for appointments, waiting for prescriptions, waiting for a vet rep and I started to learn the system. While in the navy I was data analyst and had to learn a 5 volume manual and just about anything you were suppose to do was in that manual. So I figured there must be a manual on how to do a VA claim or at the very least regulations. So I found out about the Code of Federal Regulations, United States Code, Veterans Affairs Manuals and so on and so forth. Of course this was 1991/1992 I was living in a tiny studio apartment in a particularly bad neighborhood, working in a sheltered workshop making a nickel per envelope I stuffed throw in PTSD and you will see that it was a difficult task for me to get somewhere where they had copies of these, let alone that they would let me look at. And there was so much knowledge around me, it was like the gold rush in those days, I could just sit on a bench a veteran would sit down next to me a little conversation later I had another nugget, I made copious notes. Phone numbers to call, ask for this guy or that guy he'll give you the straight scoop and they'd slip me a piece of paper with a number on it. You want to read this regulation or that one and another slip of paper into my hand. I spent a lot of time on those benches watching the squirrels they gathered their nuts and I gathered mine :) So I'm thinking I could put a little handbook together print it out and hand it out at the VA. Or perhaps fliers. Still formulating, time goes by, 1994/1995 I am being treated for PTSD regularly and doing and feeling much better and I go to work for a company as a marketing systems analyst and I discover the internet. Well let me tell you that was perhaps one of the most significant life changing events I have ever experienced. And I might add finally a positive one :) It seemed only natural to me that surely there must be a website that contained all the knowledge I wanted, well as it turned out not so much, lots of stuff but I wanted to get straight to the claims information and there was a lot of stuff to wade through to get to it. So taking my lesson from the squirrels earlier I started to gather, gather, gather…and learn HTML and work as a marketing systems analyst and work my claim. 1996/1997 major PTSD cork blows and unemployed. Working my claim, working the website. 20 Jan 1997 register HadIt.com domain name right after getting off the phone with the VA and saying I've had it with this. As fate would have it the old DAV board goes down just as mine opens up and folks start to wander in. So HadIt.com has two main components the website which supports the discussion board with links, articles, research resources etc. The website starts to grow, I can't tell you how many times I had to switch servers for space and features. I continue on a downward trend and in 1998 ended up back home in St Louis living in my sisters basement in therapy and working it, I swear I would have swung a dead chicken around my head at midnight naked if I thought it would have helped. The website continued to do great during this time, I just stayed in the basement bought new software, new books, and learned how to make things work and I continued to use this knowledge to make HadIt.com better. My 100% finally came through from the VA and I had a friend who is an advocate who helped me thru my SSDI claim, he was literally at my side thru the entire process and that came through for me. My therapist and sister continued to try and get me to leave the basement, but to no avail. At some point in 1998 or 1999 I put a counter on the website and was shocked to discover how many visitors we were getting. Time goes by my sister gets married and I move from the basement to the upstairs, there is much celebration that Aunt T is living in the light again. More time goes by and I settle into my life in St Louis and spend more time on the site trying new things, finding more information. 2003 I buy my own home VA loan. For years now I have just considered HadIt.com my job and I get up every morning go to the office and work for several hours, take an afternoon break and see where the rest of day takes me. I have a place in the office to use the computer and a comfortable to place to read journals and articles and take notes. Blah, blah, blah so that is my story and HadIt.com's intertwined.
HadIt.com Pass It On CardsHi I've updated our HadIt.com Pass It On Cards. They are in a PDF format you can print them out cut them there are 12 to a page. If you have found HadIt.com helpful and would like to pass it on to other veterans this is an easy way to do it.I hope you find them helpful, feel free to leave a few anywhere veterans gather, veterans centers, veterans hospitals, public libraries, be creative. Please make sure though, that if you want to leave some at any business you ask permission first.Here you go http://www.hadit.com...it_on_cards.pdf

Thank you for the great tips. Much appreciated!!
I have neck problems that have gotten worse due to dives out of bed during nightmares so the doctors tend to related most of my symptoms to my neck. I've been putting off the surgery due to the fact that I need to be able to work.
I have just started using secure messaging so I will continue to do that.
chr49 added a post in a topic OMG, I am FINALLY PERMANENT!!!Such great news! Congratulations!!
chr49 added a post in a topic Success at BVA levelThanks Broncovet - I have had some symptoms (1 episode of short term left arm paralysis, left eye changes & short term bouts of confusion/memory loss) but I have a feeling it will end up at 0% since all of those things have been pretty much ignored. Most important was to get the diagnosis on record since it is a huge problem for me. I'm just so thankfully to have this over with.
chr49 added a post in a topic Success at BVA levelI should have placed this post under Success Stories. Can it be moved?
chr49 added a topic in Success StoriesSuccess at BVA levelReceived a letter from BVA today stating all 3 of my claims have been granted. I filed for bilateral peripheral vascular disease, carotid artery disease & hypertension secondary to PTSD in Spring 2010 - 5 1/2 yrs ago.
Can anybody tell me how the bilateral carotid artery disease will be rated? I've found all of the information I need regarding PVD & hypertension.
Also, when I filed all of my appointments to monitor my PVD were dropped so I'm assuming they will order testing before rating...Am I correct on this?
Thank you for any words of wisdom you can give me.

Bet On Your Baby will be hosted by actress and comedienne Melissa Peterman, who has had roles on a variety of network and cable television shows, and is currently part of the cast of ABC Family's Baby Daddy.

The concept of the show just appealed to me on many levels, because as a mom, I liked the fact that the kids are having fun and being themselves — it's the parents who are playing the game. As someone who likes funny, there is no one more naturally hilarious and fun to watch than a toddler," Peterman said. We couldn't agree more!

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators are supporting the reopening of a snowmobile connector corridor below Rainbow Falls Dam in Parishville where two men drowned March 4 while trying to cross the reservoir ice on snowmobiles.
Access below Rainbow Dam on Pickettville Road was part of a recreational route since the 1950s but was restricted in recent years by Brookfield Renewable Energy Group, the owner of the dam.
Access was limited because of updated security protocols as well as the fact that minimum flow through the bypass reach was increased, making crossing unsafe, Brookfield spokeswoman Shannon Ames wrote in an email.
Previously, the route was part of a groomed snowmobile trail and included in a state Department of Environmental Conservation management plan.
On March 4, Robert G. Campbell, 78, Norwood, and Robert P. Whalen, 87, Canton, crashed through ice and drowned while trying to cross Rainbow Falls Reservoir, highlighting the importance of reopening the route for safe passage.
Obviously, we dont want a reoccurrence of whats recently happened, said Legislator Anthony J. Arquiett, D-Helena.
The county Recreational Trails Advisory Board has identified the route as critical to cross-country trails development.
The county and Brookfield want to find a way to protect the interests of each other, Mr. Arquiett said. Proceeding will involve approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
FERC is the first step to allow us to get onto their property, Mr. Arquiett said.
Brookfield is willing to have the discussion, Ms. Ames said.
Brookfield is always open to talking with the county about access around our facilities as long as safety concerns can be addressed, including public safety and the safety and security of our infrastructure, she wrote.

OGDENSBURG North country farmers will soon be able to get special types of fertilizer in bulk at the citys port, where a Canadian wholesale distributing company, V6 Agronomy Inc., has rented a warehouse to store and sell fertilizer.
Company owner Ryan M. T. Brophy, started the company in 2012 to supply farmers in Ontario and Quebec with fertilizer, but recently decided to expand the business to reach farmers in Northern New York.
I think theres a lot of great opportunity in this location, Mr. Brophy said.
The company will ship Monoammonium Phosphate 11-52-0 and Granular Urea 46-0-0 fertilizers, mostly used for corn and wheat, from different manufacturers across the U.S. by railroad to Ogdensburg. A blend of the two fertilizers will be shipped by truck from the companys supply in Ontario, which is imported from Europe.
Its obviously going to be a great thing for farmers in the area, Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority Executive Director Wade A. Davis said.
V6 Agronomy has had a transfer contract for several years with OBPA which included the ports employees unloading fertilizer from railway cars and loading it onto trucks that would carry it across the border to his storage location in eastern Ontario. His agreement has been modified to include storage at the port.
Mr. Brophy runs a 350-acre grain farm producing mainly corn, soy beans and wheat.
I have a background in agronomy, and eight years ago I got involved with it on an international level, he said.
Mr. Brophy said that years ago he traveled around the world sourcing fertilizer and learning about quality and trading techniques from manufacturers around the world.
Im a farmer myself, so I know what how important it is to save money with purchases like this, he said. One of the greatest advantages for farmers in this area is the bulk bag option.
Farmers will be able to buy fertilizer in loose bulk or by the truckload. Mr. Brophy said V6 Agronomy offers farmers another option by selling fertilizer in one metric ton plastic bags.
Mr. Brophy said that although some area retailers offer fertilizer in loose bulk by preorder, only about 15 percent of farmers in the area have the storage space for it.
So if they buy it in loose bulk from the retailers, theyll most likely have to plant it right away, Mr. Brophy said. And then theyre at the mercy of the retail price for that season.
Mr. Brophy said farmers looking to buy fertilizer will contact his office, 9236 Branch Road, North Augusta, Ont. He will then set up a contract with them and a schedule with OBPA allowing farmers to pick up whatever amount of fertilizer they will need at any particular time.
Mr. Brophy said if farmers dont have their own means of transporting bulk fertilizer, he will connect with local trucking companies and add it to the contract price.
Mr. Brophy said that over the past two months hes had fertilizer shipped to the storehouse. He said he has 1,000 tons of fertilizer stored there now, and will open for business Feb. 1.
Id like to move up to 5,000 tons by next year, he said.
Mr. Brophys operation in Ontario and Quebec shuffles out 3,000 tons per year, but doesnt have a facility to store loose-bulk fertilizer.
Its all about saving farmers money, he said.

Suggested Price: $49.99
The DVR-XD10 Slim Portable USB 2.0 DVD/CD Burner is one of the world's smallest and lightest DVD/CD Writers. Its small size makes this External DVD/CD Writer the perfect accessory for Netbook, Notebook, and Ultrabook computers. The DVR-XD10 easily connects with computers through two USB 2.0 ports (USB cord included). It will write up to 8x on DVD-R/+R and DVD+RW media, up to 6x on DVD-R/+R (DL) and DVD-RW media, up to 5x on DVD-RAM and up to 24x on CD-R/RW media.
The included software from Nero® enables computer users to create personal videos, make digital slideshows, burn music CDs, and back up data files onto DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM with ease. It also writes to dual/double layer DVDs, increasing the capacity from 4.7 Gbytes to 8.5 Gbytes.
Answer: Some computers output less power than others through the USB ports. On some PCs, one USB cable is enough, but to be safe and to avoid write errors, connecting both USB cables is highly recommended.
Answer: There is a lever on the bottom of the drive. Moving the lever back will cause the cover to open even when there is no power applied to the drive.
Answer: The DVR-XD10 may work with other software in a Windows 7, Vista, or XP SP3 environment. In a limited way, it will even work with Mac OS X software.
Answer: Although Pioneer does not guarantee operation with Mac OS X, being that the drive is connected through USB, the drive can operate in a Mac OS X environment (tested with Mac OS X 10.6.7). The drive should be able to read and write to DVD, and CD media but it depends on the Mac OS software (finder/disc utility/etc). Video playback also depends on the Mac OS software. Note that the bundled Nero software does not work in the Mac OS X environment. Read and write performance will not be the same in a Mac OS X environment.
Answer: No, the drive should only be used in a horizontal (lying down) orientation.
Answer: If the USB hub is powered (AC adapter), the DVR-XD10 may work, however the drive's read and write speed may be reduced. The DVR-XD10 will not work if the USB hub is not powered.

The last several games for Carbon High softball haven't turned out quite as good as they hoped. Snow Canyon defeated Carbon 8-7 after eight innings last Saturday in the first round of this year's 3A softball playoffs. They redeemed themselves by defeating Ben Lomond 11-4, which threw them back into the playoffs in the lower bracket.
Before first round began, Carbon High had a series of stumbles and heartbreaking losses.
On Monday, April 18, the Dinos took on the Spanish Fork Dons. Neither team scored until the third inning, when Spanish Fork completed two runs. At the bottom of the inning, Carbon couldn't bring home any runners, leaving the Dons ahead 2-0.
At the top of the fourth inning, the Dons came out and scored two more runs, but the determined Dinos came into the bottom of the fourth ready and scored two runs. Spanish Fork still had the lead, 4-2.
Spanish Fork scored another run in the fifth inning holding on to their lead against Carbon. The Dinos completed one run at the bottom of the inning, but were still behind by two.
Carbon couldn't quite pull themselves out of the loss when the Dons scored another run in the top of the sixth. Despite Carbons determination and a homer by Morgan Warburton, Spanish Fork ended the game with a win, 6-3.
On Thursday, April 21, Carbon went up against Delta. Carbon didn't score until late in the game, finally completing two runs in the fourth inning. At the top of the fifth inning the score was 9-2. Carbon tried to redeem themselves in the sixth inning by scoring an amazing five runs, but Delta came back and scored another run in the bottom of the inning, bringing Delta's lead to 10-7.
On Tuesday, April 26, Carbon played against Lehi in another agonizing defeat. Carbon played hard, but couldn't bring any runners home. Lehi won 7-0.
Thursday, April 28 looked better for Carbon who went up against North Sanpete on home turf. The game looked good early on for the Dinos, who were given four runs in the first two innings by the North Sanpete pitcher.
At the top of the third inning, North Sanpete slowly edged their way back with two runs. Carbon didn't score any runs in the third, but still ended the inning with a lead of 4-2.
North Sanpete did even better in the fourth inning, scoring three more runs and bringing themselves into the lead, 5-4.
Neither team scored any runs in the fifth, but North Sanpete came back in the sixth scoring another run against the Dinos. Carbon couldn't pull themselves back into the lead after this and ended the game with a 6-4 win for North Sanpete.
Still determined to win after the last four losses, Carbon came out on top against Uintah on Wednesday, May 4.
Union started out early scoring a run in the first inning. They scored their second run in the fourth inning, while Carbon still lagged with no runs.
Carbon came out in the bottom of the sixth inning with the attitude to win, and completed three runs, bringing them ahead of Uintah 3-2.
Uintah was unable to bring themselves to completing any more runs after the Dinos pulled ahead, ending the game with a 3-2 win for Carbon.

Professor Randy Simmons on Carbon Taxes in National Journal's Blog
Randy T. Simmons, professor in the Department of Economics and Finance at the Huntsman School, and Ryan M. Yonk, professor in the Department of Political Science at Southern Utah University, published a blog post in the National Journal's Energy Experts blog in January.
The post was in response to the question, "What should Washington do about climate change?" Dr. Simmons and Dr. Yonk challenged the claim by many economists that a carbon tax is an effective response. They suggested that a carbon tax "will have far more to do with benefitting the politically powerful than with protecting human or ecological health."
Dr. Simmons has been accepted as a regular contributor to the blog.
"This blog has become one of the most read policy blogs in D.C.," Dr. Simmons said. "It's a great venue for moving academic research into the public discourse."
