Just me being confused and all. And politics. And Pit Bulls. And a couple of babies.
Free snow shovel service and you complain?
I'm with SJ ... but I'd still be standing in the window watching her, thinking she's crazy.
I loved Obama's "Bolshevik plot" line last night. Not sure what's wrong with your neighbor shoveling snow for you? She does sound crazy though. Maybe that's also a Bolshevik plot?
Oh, and happy birthday!
No no. You have to understand just how bad this is. First of all, it's not the first time she's shoveled the block today. She shoveled it a few hours ago, while heavy snow was still falling.
Second, when she shoveled during the day, I didn't mind. It's insane, because by the time she moved from one house to another, the sidewalk in front of the first house was already filled with snow. But I didn't care. It's the fact that she's doing it as soon as I put my baby down, in front of his window, that drives me crazy.
Third, last time she shoveled the snow, she did it at 6am on a weekend. Sometimes I wake up at 4am because she vacuums. And considering some of the other people on the block, she's the normal one.
And fourth, don't you know that no matter what someone says on a blog, people always have to agree? It used to be the unwritten rule of blogging, but now it's been written.
(and thanks, Kristen)
(And SJ... I even hinted it was my birthday on Facebook, and still, no Happy Birthday...)
Snow blower at 1:30 a.m. woke me from a sound sleep. And who can learn to ignore such noises? This was better than the ice chipping at 2:00 a.m. The lawn company with a contract on a lot of buildings near me sends out a guy, or a chain gang or whatever, depending on the weather, but never before 1:30 a.m.
And no one who lives in the building says anything. I've been tempted to call the police, but they've got other stuff to do on snowy days besides navigate back to my neighborhood for this. And the best advice anyone can offer is to calm down and learn to ignore this stuff---as if even a yoga mater wouldn't notice it.
So I feel your pain, as I try to get back to that nice quiet place I was before going to sleep a couple or so hours ago.
Shovelling snow much better than the snowblower ... at least it's better for the environment. Give the crazy lady a break. Maybe she's training for a marathon. (I don't suppose little tots would tolerate ear plugs. :)
We had a neighbour back home who used to paint her bushes. No euphemisms in use there unfortunately.
I couldn't let it go, and it ended up with her painting me.
And the round/odd number thing I absolutely relate to.
30 - co0l, 31 - sucks, 32 - cool again.
Personally, I like ages that are divisible by 5. I liked 30, the in betweens blew goats, and now that 35 is next week, I'm in a very zen place with it.
Happy bleated birthday!
Just had to say, I loved the profanity in this post. Loved it. Someday, I hope to have half the command of vulgarity that you have.
Happy Days!
Almost nothing bothers me as far as noises go when ***I'm*** trying to sleep. I can either sleep or I can't, and outside influences seem to have little to no effect. But I seriously could not STAND any little noise that happened when my babies were asleep! I ****NEEDED**** that forty seven seconds that they slept each night! If I could have imposed silence on the entire city, I would have done so.
Anyway, I hope the post worked. Nervous breakdowns stink. And happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Mine is coming up this week as well.
I'm so happy to realize you are a very angry person. It will be easier to get you to join my cause, the cause of randomly trashing the world and crushing peoples' spirits. One needs a lot of anger for these things, hehe...
On a random note, I just discovered this fantastic singer, Bobbie Gentry, superb... you familiar with her?
PS. I don't like Alito. He annoys me big time.
Mark, luckily, the police is in my block every other day anyway. The crazy neighbor is the normal one. The neighbors two doors down are heroin addicts and dealers. The fight, call the police, then pack their stuff onto a supermarket shopping cart and move away for a week.
Ellie, she's training for a cuckoo marathon. I really wouldn't have said anything bad if she was officially mentally disabled. I mean, she's a functioning member of a semi-functioning society, with a good job and all. But she also vacuums at 4am and shovels perfect squares outside my boy's window at 6am. Damn, I'm getting angry again.
Xbox, she painted her bushes green so they'd look fresh? Something like that? Or did she paint them some random color? (sorry, colour.) Pretty weird in any case. But why would that bother a neighbor?
Ginny, thanks! And an early Happy Birthday from me! (or is it bad luck to do that? Don't die in the next week, because I'll feel like it was my fault.)
Mrs. B. Roth, you know, my Honey read the post and said people were going to be upset by the C-Word. See, I learned that word while I was living in England, where it's really just another common swear word. When you say it here, though, it becomes something a little different, so maybe my neighbor didn't deserve that... At least until the next time she pisses me off.
Jill, thanks. It did work, but by the time I got back up, Honey was too tired to start watching a movie, so we watched an episode of the Office and she fell asleep in the middle. Because she has a baby inside, who steals her energy. Through Osmosis! I think.
Sebastien, Happy Birthday to you too, then. Aquarius!!! When you come to visit, we'll go downtown, stop next to random people, and say, "You disgust me." Fun! (The name was familiar. I recognized the songs I found through Google Videos. Cool!)
She painted them a silver grey.
Admit it, it would annoy you.
Xbox, what the hell?
She was nuts. She painted her bushes silver grey to match the wall on the other side of the garden.
We questioned her about this one day, in the manner only 14 year olds can, and she spattered us with the paint.
Too funny, about your wife nodding off during the SOTU speech. My wife does the same thing sometimes, starts to nod off while we're watching a video, and she won't admit it.
I look over and see that she's asleep, and say "we could watch this some other time." And she always jerks awake with "Huh? No, I'm fine. I'm awake."
In case you didn't get around to finishing your DVR viewing of the SOTU address, here's the condensed version. Democratic president spoke for 70 minutes. Reached across aisle to bring about unity. Slapped both parties' hands. Republican response vowed to never work with him, disagree with everything Democrats say. Democrats say Earth revolves around sun, Republicans say sun doesn't exist because of abortion being legal.
And if someone shovels your sidewalk, even if they're completely naked, don't complain because it beats doing it yourself.
Xbox, that's crazy. But it's a good story.
Tom, usually she falls asleep at the beginning and I continue watching, and then when I turn the TV off an hour later, she wakes up and says, "I feel asleep a little at the end."
Sornie, thing is, this is all just a political game. They think they can get power back by pulling Obama away from his promises and then closing the door in his face, and the hell with the people. I hope that after SOTU less Independents (who are these people?) buy this crap.
And maybe if she were naked it would have been more fun. Instead, she was wearing a red jacket and looked like a little red ant jumping around with a shovel. See? Now I'm angry again.
While I definitely sympathize with you on this specific situation, I must admit I probably have struck a few neighbors like this while shoveling at odd hours, especially while my wife was pregnant and I wanted to avoid letting ice build up on our sidewalk and driveway.
What can I say? Shoveling is my thing. But I did at least feel guilty about it when I did have to chop ice after 10pm a couple times.
I solved the problem by moving far, far away from people, where I can do whatever I want at whatever time and/or volume I want.
...Unless my wife doesn't want me to. You don't want to see that lady pissed. Plus she makes fun of me.
See, if she did her own sidewalk at 6am or 10pm it would have been a pain, but also okay, because I would have assumed she didn't have any other time to do it or it was necessary for another reason. The problem with the crazy neighbor, though, is that she continued shoveling down the block. I ended up standing at the window, praying, "Please let this house be the last one she shovels," only to see her move on to the next one.
Happy Birthday Peeps.
Yeah, 37 is stupid. 33 is pretty friggin stupid too.
Still, I have a feeling that although it's a round number, 40 will be even stupider.
OK now that I poked you on Facebook and wished you a happy birthday too. Stop sulking and post something already!
Thanks, SJ. I'm trying to just get through the next day or two right now. Eventually, it will be a HILARIOUS post about some douchebag who throws salt on his bald head. But for now I have to wait and see if my ceiling collapses and takes us all with it. Right now the weather report is Snow with a chance of Kill me I'm sick of this shit.

Ray Isle (@islewine on Twitter) is Food & Wine's executive wine editor. We trust his every cork pop and decant – and the man can sniff out a bargain to boot. Take it away, Ray.
Because there is apparently a fierce battle to the death over who can make the most expensive cocktail in the world, recently a fellow named Joel Heffernan at Club 23 in Melbourne, Australia, created a cocktail called the Winston. The Winston sells for $12,916. Per cocktail.
This was in an effort to blast from its perch the Salvatore's Legacy, invented by a fellow named Salvatore Calabrese at London's Playboy Club (of course), and it succeeded, as the Salvatore's Legacy concoction sells for a mere $8,388 per drink. Of course, this is all tomfoolery for people with way too much cash, but you have to admit it gets you thinking.
Using my liquor-trained eye, it looks to me like the Winston is 60 ml of Cognac (really freakin' expensive Cognac), 20 ml of fancy Grand Marnier (also expensive) and 20 ml of similarly fancy yellow Chartreuse (ditto), assuming Heffernan is using metric jiggers. Plus a dash of bitters.
It's pretty straightforward really - a riff on the classic Champs Élysées cocktail, which can be found in the similarly classic 1930s Savoy Cocktail Book. Stir all that with ice in a crystal beaker with a glass rod, then serve it up in a cocktail glass, surrounded by some absurdly twee sugar-sculpture garnish that isn't even in the cocktail. No wonder the one guy who ordered it only drank a few sips before he left (seriously, he did; it's unclear what happened to the rest of the thing, though you have to hope that one of the busboys downed it when no one was looking).

Dillon Street
this wiki
A street stretching from Rotterdam Hill to Beechwood City it is a street highly influenced and is home to many people in the GTA world including Little Jacob and many store fronts including a Fire station in Rotterdam Hill.
It is based highly off of Dean Street in Brooklyn NY, the way the street runs and the characteristics of the neghiborhoods it runs through proves this. The street runs almost the exact way Dean Street does, getting cut off and meeting back up on the other side of the street only slightly away from were it started. It runs into Beechwood City and ends its journey when it meets Tutelo Avenue possibly based on East New York Avenue in Brooklyn. Beechwood city highly resembles Far Rockaway, Bushwick, East New York, Brownsville and Flatbush which is close to the area where Dean Street stops its path.

Egypt's raids on NGOs/
Note: this post was written yesterday. I understand the US NGOs have had their property returned after the intervention of the US government.
I'm away from Cairo at the moment, so apart from a few panicked SMSs from friends and the coverage on Twitter I have not really followed yesterday's raids on six NGOs by the Egyptian police. Links for reported stories on what happened are at the bottom of the post. I want here only to give my own interpretation of what's happening.
Such a course of action was a possibility, of course, since last September or so when investigations into NGOs that receive foreign funding were initiated by SCAF, Minister of State for International Cooperation Fayza Aboul Naga and the ministry of justice. The fight over NGOs, and the fact that the Egyptian government seemed to be mostly drawing attention to Western-funded NGOs rather than Gulf-funded Islamic charities, is a manufactured crisis created to use as a card against Western, and more specifically US, pressure on the Egyptian government.

Colorado Springs police are looking into two robberies that occurred within a half hour of each other in separate parts of town Friday night.
Shortly after 9 p.m., customers at the Dollar Tree on 1530 S. Circle Dr. say a man entered the store, pulled a gun on the cashier and customers, and demanded money.
Witnesses say the man is described at a black male, standing 6-foot-2, wearing a black ski mask, black jacket and pants.
The man took money from the register and took off on foot.
About a half hour later, three men walked into the Captain D's at 1107 N. Academy Blvd. with handguns and held the restaurant up. Employees say they were all black men in their 20s, dressed in black with masks.
After getting money from the employees, the three took off across the parking lot.
In both instances, police did not find any suspects and no one was harmed in the robberies. There is no word if these robberies were somehow related.

Chromosomes are organized structures of DNA and proteins that are found in cells. Chromosomes contain a single continuous piece of DNA, which contains many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences. Chromosomes also contain DNA-bound proteins, which serve to package the DNA and control its functions. The word chromosome comes from the Greek χρῶμα (chroma, color) and σῶμα (soma, body) due to their property of being stained very strongly by some dyes.
Chromosomes vary extensively between different organisms. The DNA molecule may be circular or linear, and can contain anything from tens of kilobase pairs to hundreds of megabase pairs. Typically eukaryotic cells (cells with nuclei) have large linear chromosomes and prokaryotic cells (cells without nuclei) smaller circular chromosomes, although there are many exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, cells may contain more than one type of chromosome; for example mitochondria in most eukaryotes and chloroplasts in plants have their own small chromosomes.
In eukaryotes, nuclear chromosomes are packaged by proteins into a condensed structure called chromatin. This allows the massively-long DNA molecules to fit into the cell nucleus. The structure of chromatin varies through the cell cycle, and is responsible for the organisation of chromosomes into the classic four-arm structure during mitosis and meiosis.
"Chromosome" is a rather loosely defined term. In prokaryotes, a small circular DNA molecule may be called either a plasmid or a small chromosome. These small circular genomes are also found in mitochondria and chloroplasts, reflecting their bacterial origins. The simplest chromosomes are found in viruses: these DNA or RNA molecules are short linear or circular chromosomes that often lack any structural proteins.
This is a brief history of research in a complex field where each advance was hard won, and often hotly disputed at the time.
Visual discovery of chromosomes. Textbooks have often said that chromosomes were first observed in plant cells by a Swiss botanist named Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli in 1842.[1] However, this opinion has been challenged, perhaps decisively, by Henry Harris, who has freshly reviewed the primary literature.[2] In his opinion the claim of Nägeli to have seen spore mother cells divide is mistaken, as are some of his interpretations. Harris considers other candidates, especially Wilhelm Hofmeister, whose publications in 1848-9 include plates which definitely show mitotic events.[3][4] Hofmeister was also the choice of Cyril Darlington.
The work of other cytologists such as Walther Flemming, Eduard Strasburger, Otto Bütschli, Oskar Hertwig and Carl Rabl should definitely be acknowledged. The use of basophilic aniline dyes was a new technique for effectively staining the chromatin material in the nucleus. Their behavior in animal (salamander) cells was later described in detail by Walther Flemming, who in 1882 "provided a superb summary of the state of the field".[5][6] The name chromosome was invented in 1888 by Heinrich von Waldeyer. However, van Beneden's monograph of 1883 on the fertilised eggs of the parasitic roundworm Ascaris maglocephala was the outstanding work of this period.[7] His conclusions are classic:
- Thus there is no fusion between the male chromatin and the female chromatin at any stage of division...
- The elements of male origin and those of female origin are never fused together in a cleavage nucleus, and perhaps they remain distinct in all the nuclei derived from them. [tranl: Harris p162] chat alot of uterous
"It is not easy to identify who first discerned chromosomes during mitosis, but there is no doubt that those who first saw them had no idea of their significance... [but] with the work of Balbiani and van Beneden we move away from... the mechanism of cell division to a precise delineation of chromosomes and what they do during the division of the cell." [8]
Van Beneden's master work was closely followed by that of Carl Rabl, who reached similar conclusions. [9] This more or less concludes the first period, in which chromosomes were visually sighted, and the morphological stages of mitosis were described. Coleman also gives a useful review of these discoveries.[10]
Nucleus as the seat of heredity. The origin of this epoch-making idea lies in a few sentences tucked away in Ernst Haeckel's Generelle Morphologie of 1866.[11] The evidence for this insight gradually acumulated until, after twenty or so years, two of the greatest in a line of great German scientists spelt it out. August Weismann proposed that the germ line was separate from the soma, and that the cell nucleus was the repository of the hereditary material, which he proposed was arranged along the chromosomes in a linear manner. Furthermore, he proposed that at fertilisation a new ombination of chromosomes (and their hereditary material) would be formed. This was the explanation for the reduction division of meiosis (first described by van Beneden).
Chromosomes as vectors of heredity. In a series of outstanding experiments, Theodor Boveri gave the definitive demonstration that chromosomes were the vectors of heredity. His two principles were:
- The continuity of chromosomes
- The individuality of chromosomes.
It was the second of these principles which was so original. He was able to test the proposal put forward by Wilhelm Roux, that each chromosome carries a different genetic load, and showed that Roux was right. Upon the rediscovery of Mendel, Boveri was able to point out the connection between the rules of inheritance and the behaviour of the chromosomes. It is interesting to see that Boveri influenced two generations of American cytologists: Edmund Beecher Wilson, Walter Sutton and Theophilus Painter were all influenced by Boveri (Wilson and Painter actually worked with him). In his famous textbook The Cell, Wilson linked Boveri and Sutton together by the Boveri-Sutton theory. Mayr remarks that the theory was hotly contested by some famous geneticists: William Bateson, Wilhelm Johannsen, Richard Goldschmidt and T.H. Morgan, all of a rather dogmatic turn of mind. Eventually complete proof came from chromosome maps – in Morgan's own lab! [12]
Chromosomes in eukaryotesEukaryotes (cells with nuclei such as plants, yeast, and animals) possess multiple large linear chromosomes contained in the cell's nucleus. Each chromosome has one centromere, with one or two arms projecting from the centromere, although under most circumstances these arms are not visible as such. In addition most eukaryotes have a small circular mitochondrial genome, and some eukaryotes may have additional small circular or linear cytoplasmic chromosomes.
In the nuclear chromosomes of eukaryotes, the uncondensed DNA exists in a semi-ordered structure, where it is wrapped around histones (structural proteins), forming a composite material called chromatin.
- Main article: Chromatin
Chromatin is the complex of DNA and protein found in the eukaryotic nucleus which packages chromosomes. The structure of chromatin varies significantly between different stages of the cell cycle, according to the requirements of the DNA.
Interphase chromatin
During interphase (the period of the cell cycle where the cell is not dividing) two types of chromatin can be distinguished:
- Euchromatin, which consists of DNA that is active, e.g., expressed as protein.
- Heterochromatin, which consists of mostly inactive DNA. It seems to serve structural purposes during the chromosomal stages. Heterochromatin can be further distinguished into two types:
- Constitutive heterochromatin, which is never expressed. It is located around the centromere and usually contains repetitive sequences.
- Facultative heterochromatin, which is sometimes expressed.
Individual chromosomes cannot be distinguished at this stage - they appear in the nucleus as a homogeneous tangled mix of DNA and protein.
Metaphase chromatin and division
In the early stages of mitosis or meiosis (cell division), the chromatin strands become more and more condensed. They cease to function as accessible genetic material (transcription stops) and become a compact transportable form. This compact form makes the individual chromosomes visible, and they form the classic four arm structure, a pair of sister chromatids attached to each other at the centromere. The shorter arms are called p arms (from the French petit, small) and the longer arms are called q arms (q follows p in the Latin alphabet). This is the only natural context in which individual chromosomes are visible with an optical microscope.
During divisions long microtubules attach to the centromere and the two opposite ends of the cell. The microtubules then pull the chromatids apart, so that each daughter cell inherits one set of chromatids. Once the cells have divided, the chromatids are uncoiled and can function again as chromatin. In spite of their appearance, chromosomes are structurally highly condensed which enables these giant DNA structures to be contained within a cell nucleus (Fig. 2).
The self assembled microtubules form the spindle, which attaches to chromosomes at specialized structures called kinetochores, one of which is present on each sister chromatid. A special DNA base sequence in the region of the kinetochores provides, along with special proteins, longer-lasting attachment in this region.
Chromosomes in prokaryotes
The prokaryotes - bacteria and archaea - typically have a single circular chromosome, but many variations do exist.[13] Most bacteria have a single circular chromosome that can range in size from only 160,000 base pairs in the endosymbiotic bacteria Candidatus Carsonella ruddii,[14] to 12,200,000 base pairs in the soil-dwelling bacteria Sorangium cellulosum.[15] Spirochaetes of the genus Borrelia are a notable exception to this arrangement, with bacteria such as Borrelia burgdorferi, the cause of Lyme disease, containing a single linear chromosome.[16]
Structure in sequences
Prokaryotes chromosomes have less sequence-based structure than eukaryotes. Bacteria typically have a single point (the origin of replication) from which replication starts, while some archaea contain multiple replication origins.[17] The genes in prokaryotes are often organised in operons, and do not contain introns, unlike eukaryotes.
DNA packaging
Prokaryotes do not possess nuclei, instead their DNA is organized into a structure called the nucleoid.[18] The nucleoid is a distinct structure and occupies a defined region of the bacterial cell. This structure is however dynamic and is maintained and remodeled by the actions of a range of histone-like proteins, which associate with the bacterial chromosome.[19] In archaea, the DNA in chromosomes is even more organized, with the DNA packaged within structures similar to eukaryotic nucleosomes.[20][21]
Bacterial chromosomes tend to be tethered to the plasma membrane of the bacteria. In molecular biology application, this allows for its isolation from plasmid DNA by centrifugation of lysed bacteria and pelleting of the membranes (and the attached DNA).
Prokaryotic chromosomes and plasmids are, like eukaryotic DNA, generally supercoiled. The DNA must first be released into its relaxed state for access for transcription, regulation, and replication.
Number of chromosomes in various organisms
Normal members of a particular eukaryotic species all have the same number of nuclear chromosomes (see the table). Other eukaryotic chromosomes, i.e., mitochondrial and plasmid-like small chromosomes, are much more variable in number, and there may be thousands of copies per cell.
Asexually reproducing species have one set of chromosomes, which is the same in all body cells.
Sexually reproducing species have somatic cells (body cells), which are diploid [2n] having two sets of chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father. Gametes, reproductive cells, are haploid [n]: they have one set of chromosomes. Gametes are produced by meiosis of a diploid germ line cell. During meiosis, the matching chromosomes of father and mother can exchange small parts of themselves (crossover), and thus create new chromosomes that are not inherited solely from either parent. When a male and a female gamete merge (fertilization), a new diploid organism is formed.
Some animal and plant species are polyploid [Xn]: they have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes. Agriculturally important plants such as tobacco or wheat are often polyploid compared to their ancestral species. Wheat has a haploid number of seven chromosomes, still seen in some cultivars as well as the wild progenitors. The more common pasta and bread wheats are polyploid, having 28 (tetraploid) and 42 (hexaploid) chromosomes compared to the 14 (diploid) chromosomes in the wild wheat.[32]
Prokaryote species generally have one copy of each major chromosome, but most cells can easily survive with multiple copies.[33] Plasmids and plasmid-like small chromosomes are, like in eukaryotes, very variable in copy number. The number of plasmids in the cell is almost entirely determined by the rate of division of the plasmid - fast division causes high copy number, and vice versa.
In general, the karyotype is the characteristic chromosome complement of a eukaryote species.[34] The preparation and study of karyotypes is part of cytogenetics.
Although the replication and transcription of DNA is highly standardized in eukaryotes, the same cannot be said for their karotypes, which are often highly variable. There may be variation between species in chromosome number and in detailed organization. In some cases there is significant variation within species. Often there is variation 1. between the two sexes. 2. between the germ-line and soma (between gametes and the rest of the body). 3. between members of a population, due to balanced genetic polymorphism. 4. geographical variation between races. 5. mosaics or otherwise abnormal individuals. Finally, variation in karyotype may occur during development from the fertilised egg.
The technique of determining the karyotype is usually called karyotyping. Cells can be locked part-way through division (in metaphase) in vitro (in a reaction vial) with colchicine. These cells are then stained, photographed and arranged into a karyogram, with the set of chromosomes arranged, autosomes in order of length, and sex chromosomes (here XY) at the end: Fig. 3.
Like many sexually reproducing species, humans have special gonosomes (sex chromosomes, in contrast to autosomes). These are XX in females and XY in males.
Historical note
Investigation into the human karyotype took many years to settle the most basic question: how many chromosomes does a normal diploid human cell contain? In 1912, Hans von Winiwarter reported 47 chromosomes in spermatogonia and 48 in oogonia, concluding an XX/XO sex determination mechanism.[35] Painter in 1922 was not certain whether the diploid number of man was 46 or 48, at first favouring 46.[36] He revised his opinion later from 46 to 48, and he correctly insisted on man having an XX/XY system.[37] Considering their techniques, these results were quite remarkable.
New techniques were needed to definitively solve the problem:
It took until the mid 1950s until it became generally accepted that the karyotype of man included only 46 chromosomes.[38][39] Rather interestingly, chimpanzees (our closest living relatives) have 48 chromosomes.
Chromosomal aberrations
Chromosomal aberrations are disruptions in the normal chromosomal content of a cell, and are a major cause of genetic conditions in humans, such as Down syndrome. Some chromosome abnormalities do not cause disease in carriers, such as translocations, or chromosomal inversions, although they may lead to a higher chance of having a child with a chromosome disorder. Abnormal numbers of chromosomes or chromosome sets, aneuploidy, may be lethal or give rise to genetic disorders. Genetic counseling is offered for families that may carry a chromosome rearrangement.
Chromosomal mutations produce changes in whole chromosomes (more than one gene) or in the number of chromosomes present.
Most mutations are neutral - have little or no effect
A detailed graphical display of all human chromosomes and the diseases annotated at the correct spot may be found at [1].
Human chromosomes
Human cells have 23 pairs of large linear nuclear chromosomes, giving a total of 46 per cell. In addition to these, human cells have many hundreds of copies of the mitochondrial genome. Sequencing of the human genome has provided a great deal of information about each of the chromosomes. Below is a table compiling statistics for the chromosomes, based on the Sanger Institute's human genome information in the Vertebrate Genome Annotation (VEGA) database.[40] Number of genes is an estimate as it is in part based on gene predictions. Total chromosome length is an estimate as well, based on the estimated size of unsequenced heterochromatin regions.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg set to ban sale of sweetened drinks larger than 16 ounces; Update: Bloomberg supports 'National Donut Day' tomorrow
**Written by Doug Powers
Conversation coming soon to a prison near you:
"What'cha in for?"
"Armed robbery. You?"
"Sold a 24 ounce Mountain Dew."
From the New York Times:
New York City plans to enact a far-reaching ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, movie theaters and street carts, in the most ambitious effort yet by the Bloomberg administration to combat rising obesity.
The proposed ban would affect virtually the entire menu of popular sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and even sports arenas, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces — about the size of a medium coffee, and smaller than a common soda bottle — would be prohibited under the first-in-the-nation plan, which could take effect as soon as next March.
The measure would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks like milkshakes, or alcoholic beverages; it would not extend to beverages sold in grocery or convenience stores.
Word is that the Mayor canceled a scheduled press conference after a member of his security detail informed him a street vendor had been spotted selling large cups of Barq's outside a heroin needle exchange. To the Nanny-Mobile!
Did it ever occur to Bloomberg that the only exercise some of us get on a regular basis is lugging our giant soft drinks around?
It's ironic that some feel the only way to save Americans from getting fat is to make the government nanny morbidly obese:
Update: Go figure. Tomorrow, Bloomberg will recognize and support
Mixed Message Day National Donut Day in NYC:
At Mayor Michael Bloomberg's press conference touting his efforts to stop the sale of large soft drinks in restaurants, one reporter in attendance brought up the interesting fact that his administration also supporting "National Donut Day" tomorrow and inquired as to whether that muddled the mayor's message on the issue.
Indeed, at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning, Entenmann's will be unveiling "Custom-made Entenmann's large donuts, 1-foot in diameter" at Madison Square Park at the same time they unveil a "Proclamation Letter by Mayor Michael Bloomberg."

A probe commission has claimed that Zanzibar government under former President Amani Abeid Karume ordered the leasing of government land and buildings in Mambo Msiige heritage site under terms considered to contravene the isle's interests.
Chakechake Representative Omar Ali Shehe chaired the committee, which was formed by the Isles House of Representatives. The committee revealed the land and buildings were leased to ASB Holdings Limited for 99 years for $1.5 million.
According to the committee's investigation, the decision was taken with the backing of the Minister of State in the President's Office, Dr Mwinyihaji Makame Mwadini, claiming he received the directive to that effect from the then Chairman of the Revolutionary Council, Dr Amani Abeid Karume.
However, Dr Mwadini was unable to produce written evidence of the order of the former Zanzibar president to lease the Mambo Msiige land and buildings.
Nevertheless, the probe committee found that documents on the lease of buildings along Shangani shores had 'disappeared' while in the custody of the Ministry of Lands, Settlements and Water. The report said the ministry's deputy principal secretary, after being investigated, said his ministry had no documents for land application to lease land. But a former minister Mansoor Yussuf Himid challenged the remarks by the deputy principal secretary.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) opposed leasing of buildings of Zanzibar Stone Town heritage sites. However, the probe committee established that a document (STCDA/4V0l.III/426) was issued in March 2011 to ASB Holdings Limited allowing them to pull down all the buildings in that area.
The report has recommended the termination of the lease process, saying it contravenes existing law and procedure for leasing land on the isles. "The buildings should be returned to the government and when need to lease them arises, the process should follow laid down procedure to taking into account national interest.
Besides Omar Ali Shehe, the other members of the commission are former minister of women children affairs Asha Bakari Makame, former minister of state in the Chief Minister's office Hamza Hassann Juma (Kwamtura), Haji Hassan Hija (Kiwani), Mbarouk Wadi Mussa, (Mkwajuni), Yahya Khamis Hamad and Othman Ali Haji.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week, the National Football League announced on Wednesday.
Woodyard led Denver with 13 tackles (9 solo), one sack (12 yds.), one interception (8 yds.), two passes defensed and one forced fumble—exceeding or matching his previous career highs in every category—in Denver's 34-14 win against new Orleans in Week 8.
He became the first NFL player since linebacker Napoleon Harris (K.C.) in 2007 to record double-digit tackles, a sack, an interception and a forced fumble in a single game (ninth time overall since sacks were tracked beginning in 1982).
Woodyard leads the Broncos this season with 58 tackles in addition to posting three sacks (28 yds.), two interceptions (15 yds.), three passes defensed and one forced fumble. He joins Cleveland linebacker D'Qwell Jackson as the only two players in the NFL this year with at least 50 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions.
The award marks the first conference Defensive Player of the Week recognition of Woodyard's career and represents the 24th AFC Defensive Player of the Week honor in Broncos history. Cornerback Tracy Porter was the most recent recipient of the award, earning the distinction in Week 1 this season.

Tallahassee, FL - November 7, 2012 - A Tallahassee software company is donating much needed supplies to help communities along Apalachicola Bay, hurt by the struggling fisheries.
Infinity Software Development partnered with Franklin's Promise Coalition to deliver the supplies.
They filled a truck with about a hundred bags full of diapers, toiletries and non-perishable food items and delivered them on Monday to residents.
"The Governor said at the beginning of October that when one community in the state hurts that we all need to band together and try to help. And we took that to heart," says Jon Taylor, president of Infinity Software Development.
Franklin's Promise Coalition is a non-profit. It works to improve life for people in Franklin County.
The supplies were collected throughout the month of October.
All of the supplies were donated by the employees of Infinity Software Development.

Most of the matter we are familiar with in everyday life comes in three states - solid, liquid, or gas. But much more of the matter in the universe exists in a fourth state known as plasma. Plasmas are gaseous collections of electrically charged particles such as electrons and protons. Stars are primarily composed of hot plasmas. On Earth, plasmas are formed in lightning strikes and produce light in fluorescent bulbs. They are used to inscribe patterns in computer chips and other electronics, and are at the heart of the most promising nuclear fusion devices that may someday lead to an abundance of cheap, clean, and safe power sources.
The APS Division of Plasma Physics Annual Meeting is the world's largest yearly gathering of plasma physicists, with more than 1500 attendees presenting 1425 papers covering the latest advances in plasma-based research and technology.

by Brian Mansfield, Special for USA TODAY
If American Idol ever had a group offinalists that wasn't made for a night of rock songs, it's this batch.But this season's Top 7 muddled through, with a few bright spots alongthe way.
Namely Janelle Arthur's boots.
Imagine taking oneof Porter Wagoner's suits and distilling it into a pair of cowboy boots,and you've got an idea what Arthur was wearing as she covered BillyJoel's You May Be Right. When the show came back from commercial, Arthur was sock-footed and judge Nicki Minaj was wearing the boots.
Forthe most part, that's how rock night went: The best moments had littleto do with the music. Angie Miller did battle with a wind machine thatthreatened to make her top more revealing than she had intended. KreeHarrison performed with a pinched nerve. Candice Glover had a brokentoe, the result of botching an April Fool's prank on Lazaro Arbos. Minajbooed herself when criticizing a singer, just to save the audience thetrouble.
But when it came to the music, most of the goodperformances weren't that creative, and others just weren't that good.Arbos forgot lyrics for a second straight week, botching a line in hisduet of Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love with Miller (he did better with his solo Queen song, We Are the Champions,but Arbos is to Freddie Mercury as Pat Boone is to Little Richard). Thenormally inventive Burnell Taylor sounded stilted and unconvincing ashe covered Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name.
Harrison and Glover sang well on really obvious song choices, Harrison lifting Janis Joplin's arrangement for Piece of My Heart and Glover riffing on the Rolling Stones' (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. (Minaj told Glover her song choice "put her to sleep.")
Janelle Arthur, on the other hand, turned You May Be Right into a credible country-rocker. Amber Holcomb did her best to find a ballad on the "no ballads" night, selling Heart's What About Love likea true R&B queen. And Angie Miller returned to her comfort zone(except for when she was holding her top down), closing the show withEvanescence's Bring Me to Life.
Here's how I rank them:

|White Zetsu Army
|White Zetsu Army (白ゼツの10万, Shiro-Zetsu no Jūman, Literally meaning: The One Hundred Thousand White Zetsu)
|Volume #54, Naruto Chapter #512
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #254
|Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game
|Team Info
The White Zetsu Army consists of 100,000 copies of White Zetsu, which serve as Akatsuki's main military strength during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[1]
These creatures are artificial humans created by Madara Uchiha from Hashirama's living clone, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.[2][3] Because of this, their DNA is very similar to that of Hashirama Senju's as noted from Shizune, and Sakura Haruno's autopsy results.[4] Madara would later use this artificial genetic material to save the life of Obito Uchiha, replacing the destroyed portion of his right side with it.[2]
During Obito's time with the elderly Madara, White Zetsu and a spiral-patterned Zetsu were assigned to take care of him during his rehabilitation. Later, when Rin and Kakashi were attacked by a group of Kirigakure-shinobi, the spiral-patterned Zetsu allowed Obito to "wear" his body like armour so that he could leave the cave.[5] White Zetsu, who was only half formed, would be infused with a part of Madara's will that results in his transformation into the completed Zetsu who would serve under Obito as both joined the Akatsuki years later.
Eventually, Obito created more humanoid versions of White Zetsu using the chakra of the first seven tailed beasts he had sealed within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. The resulting clones were then stored in a pool of water beneath the root of the living clone flower.[6] After Kabuto Yakushi captured Yamato, he used his studies of Hashirama's DNA and Yamato to enhance the army's strength.[7]
These clones have shown some level of intelligence, similar to other clones. Although they were seemingly fighting mindlessly against allied shinobi during the daytime, the clone who had transformed into Neji Hyūga using his Substitute Technique, was noticeably scared by Sakura Haruno when she threatened to beat him and showed shock when she deduced how his technique worked as well as the tactics of the Zetsu army's night assault.[8] They were also visibly shocked and angered when they realised that Sasuke Uchiha had killed White Zetsu, whom they refer to as their original.[9] In the anime, a clone encountered by Team Kurenai displayed the carefree and somewhat goofy attitude of its original.[10] The anime also depicted the clones as having the memories of the original.[11]
Unlike the original White Zetsu, and the clones he produces, which possess incomplete bodies, they have complete faces, as well as properly defined right arms and legs. After Kabuto used Yamato (due to Yamato also possesing a degree of Hashirama Senju's cells) to further enhance their abilities, the Zetsu clones gain small spikes that protrude from their shoulders and back. These Zetsu, however, lack the Venus fly trap-like extensions that the original had, and have what seems to be cracks all over their bodies. They also have a zig-zag pattern running from their diaphragms down to their groin, and also down each leg reminiscent of the originals' fly trap-like extensions. These serrations are later shown to be able to open in a similar manner. When the Zetsu are first depicted in coloured manga illustrations, they appear not white, but light-green.[12] In later depictions they appear even more green in colour.[13]
Being artificial humans, they do not need to carry out any normal human bodily functions. They also have no need for sleep nor other bodily functions such as breathing in the case of their underwater storage.[3][14] Though they share many vital points as a normal human, they are incapable of bleeding in their natural forms.[15][16] As such they are extremely durable, able to survive two of Sakura's chakra-enhanced punches, as well as Neji Hyūga's Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body.
All Zetsu able to use the Mayfly technique to travel through surfaces for the purpose of spying without leaving a trace. They can open their bodies in a Venus flytrap-like manner to trap their opponent and absorb their chakra.[17] This action is so the clone responsible uses the Substitute Technique to become an exact copy of that person in every detail, able to easily trick close friends and sensors alike, in scenarios ideal for infiltration, covert assassination, and causing distrust among an enemy group.
Due to the fact that they were created through cultivation of Hashirama Senju's cells, Sakura states that the White Zetsu Army can also use Wood Release, albeit on a weaker scale.[4] However, through exposure to Yamato's chakra, the clones' strength increased to make them presumably more suited for combat with enhanced strength. But the one genetic flaw to the White Zetsus' design is that direct contact with a powerful concentration of Yang-natured chakra causes them to turn into trees. Due to their plant nature, members of the White Zetsu Army can merge into a more plant-like monster for better resistance against Yang-natured chakra.[18] In the anime, it was shown that the White Zetsu clones can also extend the points of their flytrap-like openings and use them to impale enemies, as well as alter the form of their arms to attack.[10]
Part II
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
After creating an alliance with Kabuto, Tobi leads him underground and shows Kabuto his army of 100,000 White Zetsu clones in an underwater cavern beneath the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Shinobi World War Arc
Once Tobi finished his preparations for the Fourth Shinobi World War, he had the Zetsu army mobilise to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces' 80,000-person strong army. Because of the size of their forces, Tobi has the Zetsu travel below ground, to be led from above by himself to hide their numbers. This was discovered by Muta Aburame and is reported to the various commanders. The Second Division, led by Kitsuchi, as well as elements from the Fifth Division, unearth and attack a detachment of 20,000 White Zetsu Army clones travelling directly underneath them. While fighting the Allied Shinobi forces, they began to overwhelm them, allowing several thousand White Zetsu to pass through underground.
Then, off the coast of the Land of Lightning, several thousand White Zetsu Army clones appeared along with Kakuzu, Hizashi Hyūga, Asuma Sarutobi, Dan, Kinkaku and Ginkaku to attack Darui's First Division, forcing the Allied Shinobi Forces to change their strategy to meet this threat. By the end of first day of battles, the army had already lost 50,000 out of its 100,000 Zetsu,[19] leaving Tobi's army at half strength.
During the night, the White Zetsus used the Substitute Technique to sneak behind enemy lines disguised as allied shinobi in order to kill various members of the Allied Shinobi Forces and cause conflict among the opposition. However, assuming the identity of Neji Hyūga to go after medical ninja, one of the clones was found out and stopped by Sakura Haruno. Soon after, along with Sakura and her group learning their enemy's true nature as hybrid clones of Hashirama, the White Zetsu clones' technique was deduced and reported to HQ.
In the anime, Team 8 was sent to investigate a suspected breach of the Allied Shinobi Forces perimeter and encounters a cave filled with White Zetsu clones. Engaging them, Hinata sends out a messenger owl to the Sealing Team and she alongside, Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru, hold off the opposition until the team can arrive and seal the cave. As Team 8 fall back with the creatures in pursuit, one of the White Zetsu accidentally triggered a explosion in the process. After the explosion, Team 8 regroups and find one of the two shinobi from the Sealing Team dead, the ninja revealed to have been murdered by a surviving White Zetsu that had infiltrated Team 8 in midst the chaos. This cases mutual mistrust among Team 8 until they use a game of rock-paper-scissors to weed out the shape-shifter by having the loser reveal personal information when asked. Though Kiba mistook Shino as the impostor, the plan exposes the White Zetsu clone, who was impersonating Hinata who was unconscious at the time, before her team mates kill him.[10]
While Naruto and Killer B confronted several of the White Zetsu Army clones at another area, due to his Yang chakra and the creatures' relation to the First Hokage, Naruto's attacks while in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode resonated with the White Zetsu Army clones and instantly turned those he made a direct hit on into trees.[20] Even after some of the surviving White Zetsus merged to become more resilient to the youth's attack, Naruto merely cut the fused monster in two and crushed it beneath Gamahiro. Naruto eventually sent his clones out to the different battlefields and, using his ability to sense negative emotions, was able to locate the remainder of the disguised White Zetsu Army clones.
After the second day of war, thanks to the addition of Naruto's efforts and his new-found ability, the majority of the White Zetsu clones were eradicated. However, small factions survived and were ordered to seize B and Naruto before their comrades could reach their location. When Sasuke escaped the Mountains' Graveyard, he encountered one of these factions, who demanded to know why he left the hideout. Upon coming to the realisation that he had killed the original White Zetsu, they attacked him. Choosing this time to test his new powers further, he slaughters most of the Zetsu and keeps one alive long enough to get information relating to the war.

Jeremy Hamilton Race Report: Springfield, Knoxville, & BrainerdOctober 11, 2011
Springfield was great and horrible all in the same weekend. The short track on Saturday was a challenge to say the least. We showed up that morning to the track and received a part of our motor from WKR and had to try and put my 2011 Honda CRF450R together at the track before the races that night. After a whole lot of stressing and rushing trying to get it together and run, it still wasn't running right in time for qualifying. » more
