Phil I confess I'm not sure of the actual breakdown in numbers, but Khawaja was one player who was mucked around and has to come in for the next test as stated by Border and Laxman .In any case, the overlying argument stands, you can't have the two formats overlapping as it requires different mindsets & different skill sets.We aren't going to develop test class spinners through T20. They need to be nurtured through the Sheffield Shield. I would make it law if that is what is required – each shield team must carry one recognised & one all-round spinner.And captains need to rediscover the skill of setting fields for spinners & building pressure through patience.We're trashing our spinners in India for their lack of skill, yet it's OUR system & OUR attitudes that allowed this to happen in the first place.
Love to have heard the channel 9 commentators today. They still would've found a way to praise the Aussie bowling all day through while ignoring the two centurions!
Could be worse.
Instead of bleating about cricket we could be experiencing 74mm of rain in one hour. Good luck Mackay.
If the BCCI had been wise they would have given these tests to the ABC for free. I, for one, am so relieved I cant watch this. Good God how poor are SL at test cricket!
The great Australian whinge. Still blaming indian conditions and umpiring decisions. You realise there have been more incorrect decisions against India? Love some people here make assertions without watching the match.
Dear Mike Hussey,
Please can you let me know the lotto numbers for next Saturday please?
You obviously have a crystal ball and thought, "Sod that, I don't want to be part of this malarkey. I'll hang up my boots now!"
Kind regards
2nd wicket coming up ...
I look forward to Australia being suitably touched up again in England...
Would there be a distinct advantage to send Matt Wade to the crease? It may get them second guessing
He would better than most of these. At least it would give the team a bit of a laugh and lift them up like it did last time.
Give someone else a turn with the gloves that can catch
There's another thing wrong with the current mob that masquerades as a test team and that's delusion. That very ordinary current wicket keeper called Wade had the hide to go on national TV last night and say that they would get India out for less than 236 today. If that's the mindset of the current team no wonder we have no hope. They have lost track of reality and boy isn't it showing.
The single wicket fell in the eighth over of the innings. Ergo, Tendulkar has now been wearing pads and a jockstrap in 37C heat, for 80 overs without having to face a ball.
Just sayin'
Keep your cricket fantasies to yourself, this is a public forum!
So what's the best site for table tennis???
Pujara's basically finished with telling the Indian selectors that he can play in Tests. He's now trying to cajole them into selecting him for One dayers and T20
Why do Test sides even bother going to India? Doctored pitches for their spinners, batsmen with constant practice against spin, umpires who will rarely give an LBW against the home side. It's a farce. India's last series in Australia proved India are the world's best in India. Yes, it's the money, and no, I'm not interested.Tuning out.
England didn't mind it too much, last time out.
Right!, both teams get to play on the same wicket and the team having greater preparation and skills usually wins. Look at England's and South Africa's recent performances here. India did win a test series in England 1-0, drew SA in SA 1-1, beat NZ in NZ a few years ago. They are a team in transition very much like Australia.
You do realise that England recently won in India overcoming everything you mention?
Australian fans: The world's biggest bitter classless whining toddlers. Cry like two year olds and serve up a million excuses when they don't win.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAH what the point of playing in India?!?!? WHAAAAAHAHAHAHA."
You win in India by being smart. Playing them at their own game. But to do that, you need quality spin which Australia do not have. England on the other hand recently prospered by doing just that, making use of the Indian pitches to beat India in India for the first time in 30 years. Don't blame the conditions when it goes badly ;-)
The great WI sides won in India consistently. It just takes good players who can adapt to different conditions. The Aussies with the exception of Clarke can't! It's as simple as that. So you you only want Australia to tour to the countries where they have a good chance of winning?
You could said the same about coming to Australia a few years ago. Aussies are used to bowling and batting on bouncy pitches, which is hard for tourists to get used to. Although we do have a small variety of pitches across Aus which was well pointed out in an earlier post.
Only 3 months ago England beat India in India. The Aussies have had hardly any appeals for lbw so you can't blame the umpires for that and by the way, both umpires are neutrals. The Aussies are being outplayed - plain and simple.
There you go...yet another sour whinger/looser! WACA...doctored pitch to suit fast bowling,constant practice on fast bowling in australia and england, umpires from australia and NZ...and finally drunk bogan mob in the stadiums...wow can't beat the farce they prepare against visiting teams!
Kind of agree Bazza. At least here you know what each pitch is going to do. And to you Sir Viv, don't call us classless you prick. That is from a 50 year old mother of a 1st grade cricketer and I actually have plenty of class as many will attest, just can't stand idiots like you.
Bazza get a bit real and accept that India is a great team and I stress team. They have much more highly skilled players than Australia at present and have psychologically raped the currently group of players (I can't say team) to a point where I think it may take decades to come back, possibly centuries as long as the current mindset of cricket administration in this country prevails.
You can't be serious considering India have just lost at home? Patient test batting rather than T20 shots are what's required here.
Probably the bowling would come up short but its up to the batsmen to get a score on the board and give the bowlers something to bowl at...basic test match stuff
Your classless spray quite wonderfully proved my point.
At 50 you really should know better.
Most pitches in India support turn with varying degrees just like most Australian wickets being pace friendly with different degrees. The 'Motera' Ahmedabad, Kanpur and Chennai wickets are amongst the most spinner friendly. Faster bowlers usually like the pitches in Mohali & Wankede (on the first day) for the bounce. It is a question of inquiring & understanding the venue - no surprises here.
So sick of the whining and the search for someone to blame.
Let's face it, we just don't have a very good side - and there isn't anyone anywhere in Australia putting their hand up.
Last time we won a series in India was 2004. Which was the first time for 50 odd years. Look at that side, and tell me that any amount of shuffling available personnel now gets us anywhere close to the required standard.
We are rebuilding. No amount of dropping one mediocre player for another will help. Pick a side. Stick with it and let them learn. It's the only way.
Stephen - how many overs left? (Projected) When does the pain stop. Even the Indian crowd look bored in places.
Good idea, but it would be a shame if it did his head in. He is only 19 and my son played against him (when he played for Victoria). Has tons of ability though.
true matt - agree... that comment was desparation - I'm just watching the rising run rate.
Sorry Aussies……its gonna be 4-0………………….this is the weakest Australian side I have ever seen. Past Aussie sides too have not done too well in India, but they were very competitive and beating them was always a huge challenge for Indian team, even under Indian conditions. We needed some very special performances from some of our greats like Laxman and a young Harbhajan to beat your side then. This time, we are beating you without even breaking into a sweat…..I I cant believe we are playing Australia. We must be playing New Zealand.
Forget shuffling our batsmen. They had more luck shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.
You are kidding of course, Agar! For gods sake we don't solve the problem by throwing a kid to the wolves.Desperation is starting to overtake rational thought.But at least he's a specialist,still can't work out the Maxwell selection.
Time to name our selectors. Just who athe people who selected this team?
Big AL, Michael Clarke is one of them and I think that just about sums up what's wrong with the Australian team of the modern era. Captain, team mate and selector is a receipt for disaster especially in this day of media sporting celebrity's.
Because Maxwell is a better option?
Because Xavier is an experienced frontline spinner?
Because Warner can take up the slack?
Relax Australia. As the resident Englishman, I am here to tell you that a period of shocking underperformance can be good for the soul. We managed for the best part of 20 years.
On the plus side, It'll give you all time to come up with better songs (think: there's only two Mitchell Johnsons).
Steelie, Starc is way better than Johnson. I think Dizzy Gillespie and Yorkshire would agree with that
Steelie, Aussies "time to come up with better songs"? The Ashes are in a few months, not a few decades :-)
But true though, deferent kettle of fish over in England. As I said earlier, it'll be a closer contest than this complete obliteration.
I was referring to the Barmy Army song lyrics rather than the bowling ability!
Ok Steelie, fair enough. I don't know why everyone is so up in arms about this test series. Most of our players have never played in these conditions ever and we have only won one series in something like 30-40 years. This is a very young team and they are learning from Captain Inspiration, let's face it there is no-one as good in the team as him. Another year or so and they will be way better (assuming they are not rotated out, duh!!). Love you Monty,always enjoy reading your posts.

@riz, 8:58 pm
It's the same pitch for both the teams mate. If Indians can bowl and take wickets, the Aussies should be able to as well. No one seems to complain about Perth pitches when other teams visit here. Just got to suck it up and play on merit whatever is thrown at you. Grapes seem to be getting really sour!!!
Well, it hasn't quite descended into the tide of whining / sore losing a la Chennai Test yet, re. "Oooooh, the pitch is too dusty"; "India aren't being very sporting"; "Bring back Warney" … Not an overly clever suggestion, cf. him going for 0-41 from 2 overs recently in that instant gratification, p#rn form of game (T20). How would he get on in proper cricket, vs a decent batting line-up?? All superfluous now, in his post mince/botox era (thanks Liz) and his referral to messrs Howard and Inverarity (thorough gentlemen, both) as muppets ...
Cheer up Aussie fans. The Poms haven't won the Ashes just yet. English conditions will be much more familiar and don't assume that England will win easy. Test cricket is full of surprises.. think Laxman-Dravid in 2001.. thats why we love it!
Sandeep's comments during the SL series are now not sounding so absurd. He did predict the smashing our spinners would get. Any ideas what do we do about our spinner situation? I have heard that Agar is quite promising, why cant we start getting a few games into him? He cant be smashed around any more these any other option at the moment... Thoughts?
You are kidding of course, Agar! For gods sake we don't solve the problem by throwing a kid to the wolves.Desperation is starting to overtake rational thought.But at least he's a specialist,still can't work out the Maxwell selection.

Why isn't Starc playing
Can't have Starc playing. That would be 12 men. Although the Indians could be charitable and let the Aussies play with 7 batsmen, 1 wicket keeper and 7 bowlers.
It might even it up but I doubt it.
The South African's must be so embarrassed by their performance against us earlier in the summer.
This is embarassing. Our selectors are a joke.
At a time of crisis we bring in Dave Warnr to bowl again two guys over 100. I acan no longer listen.
Third ball edged just wide of slip. Unlucky...
Clarke has only done that because he knows he has no-one else. Pattinson did well last game, but hasn't played for a full season out of the last two In saying that, tonight he has been shite. Doherty pfft! Maxwell, even worse, at least the Indian IPL team (whichever it is) can see how they have wasted $1 million. These pitches don't suit Siddle at all. Lyon and Starc should have never been dropped for this test but hey the selectors dropped Starc from Boxing Day after taking 2 5'fers in case he got injured. Pattinson has played 2 in a row, he will be out next, just like Starc was. Can't blame Clarke for this one, don't reckon he got the team he wanted.
India is on its way to erect a mammoth total. They have their entire batting waiting in the pavilion. I have no doubts they will go on a blistering attack from now on and australia should be ready for a demoralizing defeat!
YAWN! Hmm sounds like we have a few hands up for the selectors role, well let's see. Squabbling die hard cricket fans do you agree the current selectors sent over a group of amatures to play India? If so, seeing as they are all playing under par, and that they have been playing much better than with the last lot of selectors previous to this tour. Does this mean Cricket Australia has issues more than the selectors? Think about it, why would all the players play rubbish under the current selectors in India when they showed massive improvement before this tour? Cricket Australia need a real leader, who is it that runs Cricket Australia? There is your answer!
avert your eyes australia, this is about to get messy
Well done India. You are so far ahead of the Aussies in ability and discipline . Our boys are not trained for world class test standard,except Clarke,who is also a selector (bad move) as his mix with our current selectors is a mess. The Aussie 2nd XI have become a confused rabble of "baseball" players,thanks to 20/20.
This 2nd test will be over in day 4..with an innings defeat for Australia inevitable.
Sadly it will get worse ...as tests 3 & 4 will end in a similar "smashing".
For all my slating of the earlier run rate I did at least say the Indians were being patient. That patience is now being rewarded and the score is approaching a similar level after a similar number of overs.
To put it in Star Wars parlance:
India: Yoda
Australia: Luke (in Empire Strikes Back)
And now this is getting embarrassing. Two spinners that don't spin the ball, five batsmen that can't bat and the Indians about to pass our first innings total with one wicket down. Maybe once in a decade we could accept this sort of performance but I see nothing changing into the foreseeable future. There are no more spinners, no more batsmen and none of our fast bowlers including the unreliable ones not in this game that look like getting any better. Maybe the purests are right and test cricket in Australia has been destroyed by the Indians dangling dollars to play the backyard game. It would be a great gotcha by India after years of subservience wouldn't it.
7.48pm to 8.33pm - the time we've had to wait for a score update.
Steelie get on the net and watch it live ball by ball from India
Its time to bring in Khawaja and Shaun Marsh and Steven O'Keefe.
What about bringing in Ponting?
I'm watching this and it's not only the batsmen and bowlers who are at fault, whoever those fielders are need a rocket up the date too.
Saying that, you can see the difference in batting styles here, India aren't playing stupid shots across the body, just picking the right ball and whacking it. OH! Best fielding so far nearly got us a run-out - but the throw wasn't up to scratch. sigh.
Maxwell is leaking 4.5 runs per over. Dont think he s a test player. Reckon Michael and mickey Will think hard to add smith in the mix . 4-0 for Australia with all players in the squad will get a game.
This is embarrassing. I am going to listen to Bruce and Phil.
I hope the Australian pretend batsmen are watching these Indian professionals closely. This is how you play Test cricket. The Australian boys have no idea. Not one of the top order save Clarke have the skill to be playing test cricket at the highest level. All need to go back to Shield for at least six years and lots and lots of batting for long periods. We'll feel the pain for a few years but it needed.And for god's sake lets get rid of these imposter high performance coaches they are a joke.
Fair point but one problem. There is no Shield anymore as we know it. There are two mini seasons with the priority Big Bash in the middle. No wonder we have no way to assess players anymore and anyone in form before the Big Bash can just sit around for six weeks and do nothing. Let's call it here - this problem you identify is the fault of the Big Bash. And a big shout out to the sub editors at Fairfax. Morne Morkel is apparently dating a Channel 9 reporter. The headline - Morkel Bowls Maiden Over. Gee, haven't heard that one before. I thought Fairfax was supposed to be quality, not corn corner. That one must be at least 50 years old and no one calls women maidens anymore either.
You forget that Aussies were untouchable between mid nineties and mid noughties. The problem is this stupid rotation policy and selectors are spineless and won't drop people like Cowan. The big bash is also to blame it is a poor form of the game and not that exciting really
Granted, clarke has made the most of his chances but he has had an incredible run of luck.He seems to get the benefit of dodgy decisions,dropped catches,out off no balls etc every time he gets runs. Barry Richardson said there was a fine line between success and abject failure in this game and that so much rides on luck. He is dead right.
Um, this same Indian team were thrashed 4-0 in Australia not long ago, and thrashed 4-0 by England too. So I hardly think they are great examples of how to bat in "test cricket".. It seems to me that the issue is not that the Australian batsman can't bat, but that they are inexperienced in these conditions. Same for Indians. The thing is the Indians will never get any better while they keep serving up tracks like this. BTW, picking 2 short format spinners (one a T20 specialist) is as dumb as can possible be. Mindbogglingly stupid, actually.
This is not the same Indian team that toured Australia last year. Murali & Pujara were not around. Lets see how they perform in seaming conditions. So far, they look great!
but, but, what about all the tatts the aussie team have got ?????
don't india realise that ???
Yep Vic I'm still waiting for the Australian selectors to wake up to the fact that cricket can be brought down to a mathematical formula. The level of skill and passion is inversely proportional to the amount of ink the player has on his body.
So then how do you explain Michael Clarke, RTP?
Skill and passion for personal grooming and spruiking products do not count.
Put clarke at 3 so he can show us his skill and passion.
well well.. BCCI is bad... IPL is bad.... only thing which is not bad seems to be the australian cricket team .. No one seems to be talking about cricket. come on man... score is 121/1 with 2 quality 50's from team india.. thats how u play cricket in India.. and thats how u whine in australia.... and yes... great great bowlers are maxwell and doherthy...lolz...seems our club cricketers are better than the national caps of australia.... now who are you gonna try in next test...
The Indians are grinding us down, 1/111. For all the complaints about Wade, he's hardly the major issue at hand here. We have a front line spinner who bowls 89kmh darts every single delivery and gets flogged for 5 runs an over (and then people wonder why he is dropped). A world class fast bowler who gets on the park for a test and dominates and then breaks down. A top order that may as well not even go out to bat, we may as well open with Clarke in India? I mean seriously it's a worthwhile consideration. Phil Hughes looks so out of his depth it isn't funny. Cowan is quickly running out of credits, if not so already(he has to be the one to make way). Khawaja has to come in, if not now then when. Watson has to bowl otherwise i wouldn't play him in future series and yes he should open the batting. And finally Dhoni; despite that magnificent 224 (which was just sublime) has been abysmal behind the stumps, worse so than Wade. You would have to think Holland, SOS or Hauritz will be next in
Lewis i agree with most of what you say but i wouldn't have dropped Cowan, how else do you get confidence in your front line spinner. I would have played Lyon for sure. And given the way Maxwell has bowled its har to understand that we dropped a full time bowler for him, this Also it beggars belief that Cowan, who, if viewed as a specialist batsman, hasn't been convincing at Test level especially after having gotten such an extended run while players like Hughes and Khawaja are dropped consistently.
At least by England the side should look something like:
Phil_C: I think you made a typo when you wrote "Cowan" on your 2nd line, non? Perhaps you meant Lyon? But I understood it anyway.
As for your team to play England, yep, looks like a reasonable side. It still won't scare the English but every game is different and if a few of those Aussies perform like we know they can then there will be plenty of runs, partnerships and wickets on both sides.
Geez I'm glad I bother taking the time to write (completely clean) posts when they don't get 'published'. that's none from three now - thanks alot numpty moderator.
Hey Scott,
Thanks for not referring to Maxwell as the X factor or 1 Million Dollar Man!
Harv, you're welcome. Perhaps not good to use the X-Factor reference when there's a XAVIER Doherty in the team. Besides the Victorian is not much of a wildcard at this point ... unless he gets a breakthrough.
Maxwell should not be in the team, next test must include either Starc or Johnson and Khawaja in the batting lineup(might be a straight swap for Watson who is due to go home to give birth
I don't understand; was Glenn Maxwell selected as a bowler or a specialist batsmen batting at number 8?! At this stage nobody is doing much so maybe Clarkey should let him have a go to brake this partnership.
That RR is painful, but I doubt India would, or should, care. They are again well in control of the match.
Of course, it's Indian patience. They'll aim to bat only once (for real) as in Chennai. An innings defeat or at least 8 wickets defeat coming for Australia. Oh for a spinner.
Rudy - I think that's a little harsh on Doherty. Sure, he's only bowled 5 overs but he's only gone for 2.4 RPO. What was Lyon going for?
Personally I've have kept Lyon in the side. I think dropping him was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction.
Do remember that England lost their 1st test in India with one spinner, then played with 2 specialist spinners and won the series. I really thought that Clarke would follow that lead and play both Lyon and Doherty. Henriques is proving his worth therefore no need for Maxwell.
I'll gladly eat a family size humble pie if Maxwell bowls well though.
That's what I reckon. India will be planning on slow, careful batting for days 3-4, in the belief they'll have no problem taking 10 wickets once the pitch resembles a dustbowl. Oh for a spinner indeed!
India have also read conditions right. In this, as in the England series in India, wickets fell in morning and evening sessions. The time to make quick runs is the afternoon session, but you need to have the wickets in hand. We know they're going to produce four absolute bunsens so we have to find a way to combat that and as you say - patience is one way
Oh for some test level batsmen
No-one who sees India bat today will forget it in a hurry, even after therapy.
only person requiring therapy is you and your brain...
If Khawaja comes in then either Hughes or Cowan miss out. Both have got out 3 times cheaply. So no preference for either, however I do agree that Khawaja must be in the team.
In the1st test, it was interesting to listen to the Indian commentators (with Warne in the box) commenting that the out-of-form Lyon was bowling an "Australian length, not an Indian length" (their words) and that he would be flogged if he continued. 3-244 says they were right. Sadly he never twigged. I suspect that is what Warne told the Aus cricketers with his well-publicised lecture after the test.
However Doherty fills me wth dread. I still remember how he blinked and was torn apart by the Windies in the T20 World Cup. Am amazed that Mickey Arthur extols his ODI form of bowling little darts to minimise being flogged and says that is good form for a test match in India.
All I can ask is what or who did Stephen O'Keefe upset? This happened with Hauritz. Best spinner gets dropped while selectors look at logs to replace him. They seem to pick spinners on thier popularity rather than the ability to get wickets.

Darn it - I must have put he telepathic mockers on Henriques. I was just thinking how well he was bowling when he was on the last ball of his 4th over. Still, pretty tight bowling. Just shows that the Indians are in no rush though. They are employing the method of 'patience' - a word that doesn't appear in an Australian batsman's vocal.
It's a bit boring though. I don't want to see an RPO of 6 but above 2, preferably 2.5 would be nice
Haha, Monty, it's funny how you and Scott interpret the session. I'd go with your 'Indian patience' theory as opposed to Scott's 'Aus OWNED that session'. I will admit thought that my eyes are getting heavy!
Hey Phil ... completely agree. Perception is definitely in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps only time will tell how play in the first session affected how the rest of the match pans out.
Agree monty, patience is key on these pitches, the runs will start to flow in another 20 overs or so if they don't lose quick wickets
Tell the scorer he can have the day off.
I'm looking forward to watching Maxwell bowl today - it will be good to see an off-spinner who is actually prepared to give the ball some flight – noting that I've only seen him bowl a couple of overs in the one-dayers. Lyon's bowling frustrated the hell out of me all summer - he's at least 5kph too fast (consistently in the very high 80's) meaning his deliveries achieve minimal drift or deception, elements which are critical to any spinner's success in the test format. It is well known that one of the key prerequisites for a spin bowler to "beat a batsmen in flight" is that the ball must (at some point) travel above the batmen's eye-level. Lyon simply bowls too fast to be able to do this - why this fundamental flaw hasn't been addressed is baffling. So fingers crossed that the Big Show's bowling is better than his batting - in y event I'm glad to see him given a chance (Lyon has certainly had plenty).
Looks like viru is playing in his last test match. Selectors are going to lose patience.
I hope not, Suresh, as seeing Sehwag i full flight is fantastic. I was about to say "as long as it against anyone but Australia", but I think it would make no difference. Be good to say him have at least one more purple patch of form before his career is over. As they say, you are a long time retired!!
Wow!! Great score from Aussies!! .....oh, wait a minute....this is a T20 game, isn't it?? I envy the South African & English (the other South African team) supporters. Can we just admit Clarke being a selector is a dud idea, too? Indian bowlers way to good for our impatient lot, but I wonder how long before BCCI exacts its revenge by killing world cricket off for good?
Yeah, BCCI are always the bad guys. Players all around the world get a chance to earn good money because of them. They have done more for the good of the global game in 20-30 years than Australian and England did in 100 years!
Yes, IPL is doing a good job at paying players while killing cricket. Watchin crowds dwindle around the world, for all forms of cricket, is a sight to behold. Including at the T20 games.....
Gavin I dont understand why BCCI is canned for the IPL but CA is spared on Champions Leauge (or Big Bash what ever its called). The stadium is packed & all tickets are sold for today play for this match. So test cricket is not in the grave as some are suggesting.
Playing a portugese fella and everyone calling for a pakistani to come into the side, time to let go of the snipes at the english maybe? Lets be honest a team of oompa loompas would beat this australian side.
Aus should have picked Khawaja. clearly we are not expecting batters to score!! looks like 25 is the new benchmark! Atleast Khawaja could have translated what was being said out there!
Khawaja isn't up to scratch, he averages 30, has failed so many times, why do you think he would do any better?
Our attack is toothless, there is no way we could bowl India out and have a chance, if only we could poach a good bowler from South Africa
Hi, Benchawarmer. Usman Khawaja's parents are Pakistani. Their native language is Urdu, not the Hindi spoken by most of the Indian cricket team. But don't let details stop the stereotype.
Close, benchwarmer...just a different nation and language in question...
Patto's first delivery yesterday reminded of Harmisson's first ball in the Ashes... not as bad but still signs of nervousness? Maybe he aimed at Clarkie for not letting him bat!!

I am struggling with adding AlleleBalanceBySample and StrandBiasBySample to my joint VCF file. The data through joint VCF were generated with GATK 3.2-2, and I have tried using the VariantAnnotator as well as repeating the GenotypeGVCF step specifying the annotations. I have also tried using the GenotypeGVCFs tool from 3.3-0, but am trying to avoid running the HC again in the interest of time. For the strand bias by sample I can see why the VariantAnnotator approach would fail, as the information is not contained in the joint VCF file, but it is there in the GVCF. For the allele balance by sample it seems the info is already in the joint VCF, so either VariantAnnotation or rerunning GenotypeGVCFs seem like they should work.
I should add that when I do try to add these annotations using GenotypeGVCFs, they are noted in the header ##FORMAT section, but not in the actual F:O:R:M:A:T.
Any clues or hints (or admonitions!) much appreciated.
Using GATK 3.1-1, I seem to be unable to get the "AB" (AlleleBalance) annotation for the calls using the HaplotypeCaller -> GenotypeGVCFs pipeline, and I'm not sure how to get it. Our current pipeline (GATK 2.7-4, UnifiedGenotyper) requires this field to perform filtering, so this annotation is essential for us to upgrade to GATK 3.1.
My current pipeline of commands is as follows:
$ GenomeAnalysisTK-3.1-1 -T HaplotypeCaller -R human_g1k_v37_decoy.fasta --dbsnp dbsnp_137.b37.vcf.gz -I
$ GenomeAnalysisTK-3.1-1 -T GenotypeGVCFs -R human_g1k_v37_decoy.fasta --dbsnp dbsnp_137.b37.vcf.gz -V <GVCF file(s)> -L targets.GRCh37.bed -A QualByDepth -A HaplotypeScore -A MappingQualityRankSumTest -A ReadPosRankSumTest -A FisherStrand -A GCContent -A AlleleBalanceBySample -o joint_vcf.vcf.gz
Above, note that if "-A AlleleBalance" is given to GenotypeGVCFs, GATK crashes with a NullPointerException (AlleleBalance.java, line 66).
The command above is heavily adapted from the current pipeline; do you know what I might be doing wrong with the new and improved HaplotypeCaller?
Thanks so much for your help, and if you need any further information, please let me know.
Version 3.1.1. Human normal samples.
I couldnt find AlleleBalance and AlleleBalanceBySample tags in my vcf outputs. Tags are not found even for single variant I tried HaplotypeCaller with -all or directly with -A AlleleBalance or -A AlleleBalanceBySample. Also I tried Variantannotator with -all or -A AlleleBalance or -A AlleleBalanceBySample.
Any help will be apreciated
I would like to filter my variants using the SelectVariants walker but it throws an error when I try to filter on allele balance by sample. The jexl expression I use is:
error is: unknown, ambiguous or inaccessible method getAB
Is there any way of filtering on this parameter?
Best wishes,

Additional Information
About HOPE DRCHOPE International has been providing small business loans and savings services to thousands of entrepreneurs in DRC since 2004. HOPE DRC targets small business owners who can use loans to increase their inventories or invest in assets that have the potential to increase their incomes. Funds from Kiva lenders play a major role in expanding access to affordable, flexible capital for micro-entrepreneurs, 80% of whom are women.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Gators' loss, 'Canes' gain
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at 11:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at 11:05 a.m.
The University of Florida had 20 prospects signed up by 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, but the Gators lost two 4-star verbal commitments when Lake Gibson center Ricky Barnum (Michigan) and Palm Bay DB Ramon Buchanan (Miami) decided to go in different directions.
The loss of Barnum (6-2, 270), the fifth-rated center in the nation, and Buchanan (6-1, 181), the second-rated safety in the country according to Rivals.com, will likely cost the Gators the No. 1 recruiting class in 2008.
* FLORIDA STATE: First Coast RB Jermaine Thomas (6-1, 190) signed with FSU after the longtime commit flirted with national champ LSU down the stretch.
Thomas is the state's No. 49 prospect in the state per Rivals, gives the 'Noles seven signees as of 9:30 a.m. FSU has 25 total commitments expected to sign.
* MIAMI: The 'Canes got a pleasant surprise on National Signing Day when 4-star WR Tommy Streeter signed with Miami.
Streeter (6-6, 200), the 14th-ranked receiver in the country according to Rivals, joins several prep teammates from national high school champion Miami Northwestern on the 'Canes 2008 class.
Miami had four of its 31 commitments signed at 9:30 a.m.

Offerings in Music are given in four related areas: composition, history, performance and theory. Students have also created subspecialties in related areas such as conducting and ethnomusicology, with approval by overseeing faculty.
The department frequently offers courses dealing with such topics as ethnomusicology, music in the United States, music in film, music and politics, and the life and works of composers such as J.S. Bach.
Course descriptions, requirements for the major, FAQs and other information may be found in the Academic Bulletin: Music and on the department web site.
Music theory placement
For students who have had extensive, substantial studies in music, it may be possible to test for credit for one or more semesters of Music Theory (125, 126, 245, 246). The exam is offered online, on Music Audition Night (second night of classes). No AP Music Theory score alone qualifies a student for Music Theory credit.
Courses appropriate for prospective majors
MUAC 101 & 102, Introduction to Music History
MUAC 125 & 126, Music Theory I
*First-year students intending to major in music are strongly encouraged to complete MUAC 125 and 126 in the first year. MUAC 101 and 102 can be taken out of sequence.
*Performance Studies: Prospective majors in Performance Studies with a vocal emphasis should note that MUPS 111-02 (Vocal Technique Class) is a pre-requisite for private studio lessons. For all other prospective Performance Studies majors, private studio instruction should begin as soon as possible. NB: A fee is assessed for all Performance Studies lessons (with the exception of the MUPS 111 classes, and declared Music majors who meet certain criteria). These fees are added to the student's tuition when registration is confirmed at the end of the Add/Drop period (see the Financial Operations web site for current fee amounts). Performance Studies fees are non-refundable.
For course descriptions and requirements for the major, refer to the Academic Bulletin: Music.
Courses that fulfill distribution requirements
Arts (Division I C):
All 100-level courses, EXCEPT: MUPS 111 (Guitar, Piano and Voice classes), MUAC 115 (Fundamentals) and half-hour lessons (MUPS 113-114)
MUAC 206, Music in the United States
MUAC 209, Ethnomusicology
MUAC 221, Music in Film
Quantitative Reasoning (QR):
MUAC 125, Music Theory
Comparative Civilizations:
MUAC 209, Ethnomusicology
U.S. Diversity:
MUAC 206, Music in the United States
Film Studies:
MUAC 221, Music in Film
In addition, the departments of Music and Theatre & Dance offer an interdisciplinary major in Dance and Music. See the Academic Bulletin for information on the major.
Co-curricular ensembles and performance studies
Department Ensembles (MUEN)
All music department ensembles at Dickinson (choir, collegium, jazz band, orchestra, Dickinson Improvisation and Collaboration Ensemble) as well as the chamber music program are open to all students by audition. Auditions on all instruments (including voice) comprise sight-reading and the performance of one work (a movement or song) that demonstrates the student's best musical abilities. Instrumentalists may also be asked to play specific scales. Auditions for all music programs (private lessons, ensembles, and chamber music) take place on the first Tuesday of classes. Music Audition Night, which begins with a thorough introduction to all the programs of the department, is held that evening at 5:30 p.m. in Rubendall Recital Hall.
Instrumental ensembles rehearse once a week; vocal ensembles rehearse twice a week. It is possible to be in more than one ensemble at a time, as no rehearsals overlap. Music ensembles do not bear GPA credit, but successful participation in two or more semesters in one or more ensembles may be registered on students' final transcripts as "Music Ensemble Participation Fulfilled." This fulfillment is required for Music majors and minors. To receive this credit, students must register through Banner (after being accepted via audition) under the appropriate ensemble rubric (MUEN).
Lockers for instrument storage are available only to students participating in ensembles and/or taking lessons in the department.
Performance Studies (MUPS)
Private lessons are offered in voice and instruments, either as half-hour lessons or full-hour lessons in the Performance Studies program. Performance Studies lessons are taken for credit (one half-credit for a semester of half-hour lessons, one full-credit for a semester of full-hour lessons). Only full-hour/one-credit private lessons satisfy the Division Ic distribution requirement and count towards the minor, and students must have the instructor's permission to enroll for full-hour/one-credit private lessons. Degree requirements may not be fulfilled by combinations of half-credit courses (i.e., two half-hour/.50 credit lessons cannot be combined to satisfy the Division IC distribution requirement or the minor). Please note that MUPS 111-02, Vocal Technique class, is a pre-requisite for singers wishing to enroll in private studio lessons.
To register for Performance Studies lessons,
- Contact the instructor with whom you wish to study. (Email is best.)
- The instructor may ask to meet with you. (Music Audition Night is an excellent opportunity if you are beginning lessons in the fall.)
- If the instructor agrees to take you on as a new student, s/he will place the appropriate override code on your Banner account.
- Once the override is recorded, you must still log in to Banner and register for lessons as you would any other class.
If you need an overload, twice during your studies you can simply use the Overload form (downloadable from the Registrar's Office). In the third semester you will need to submit a petition for overload to the Subcommittee on Academic Standards, with copy to your studio teacher, chair and your Advisor. Once approved for overload by APSC in the third semester, in subsequent semesters you will simply use the Overload form again. When your registration is confirmed, you and the instructor will arrange for a mutually convenient weekly lesson time.
PLEASE NOTE: A fee is assessed for all Performance Studies lessons (with the exception of lessons for music majors meeting certain criteria). These fees are added to the student's tuition when registration is confirmed at the end of the Add/Drop Period. (See the Financial Operations web site for current fee amounts.) Performance Studies fees are non-refundable.
Scholarships are available from the Department of Music to offset the cost of lessons. To apply for a scholarship, a student must have the approval of the Performance Studies instructor with whom the student intends to study. The student must submit a brief letter of application (explaining any financial need as well as why the student wishes to study) in an email to Stacy Rohrer (email@example.com), with copy to the student's intended instructor. Information about Music scholarships can be found online on the Department of Music's web page.
Suggested curricular flow through the major
First Year
MUAC 125 (fall only), MUAC 126 (spring only)
MUAC 101 and/or MUAC 102 (these latter two may be taken out of sequence)
Performance Studies majors should begin enrolling in studio lessons (Voice majors begin their study with Vocal Technique Class, MUPS 111-02)
Sophomore Year
MUAC 245 (fall only), MUAC 246 (spring only)
MUAC 101 and/or 102 (if not taken earlier)
Possibly MUAC 255 for composition or theory emphasis if simultaneous with 245
Junior Year
Remaining 200-level courses
MUAC 351-354 seminars
Performance majors should be enrolled in MUPS 323/324 (junior recital), rather than 313/314 (for non-majors)
Senior Year
All 400-level courses (senior projects in history, theory, composition or performance)
Any remaining 300-level seminars
Music majors are strongly advised:
- to begin the theory sequence (125/126/245/246) as soon as possible, ideally enrolling in MUAC 125 during the first semester of the first year.
- to complete the core requirements (101-102, 125-126, 245-246) by the end of the sophomore year, in preparation for the more advanced research and analysis undertaken in courses numbered above 250.
- to carefully plan any study abroad activity if they intend to pursue the performance emphasis. The required junior recital (MUPS 324/325) can be difficult to achieve for the student planning to go abroad for the entire junior year, and may require a student to undertake a semester abroad only.
- enroll as early as possible in Vocal Technique class (MUPS 111-02) if they intend to pursue a vocal performance emphasis.
The distinction of Honors in Music--the highest distinction that the Department can bestow--is awarded to a graduating senior or seniors who have met the requisite academic standards:
1) Maintenance of a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the core courses of the music major (7 courses: MUAC 101, 102, 125, 126, 245, 246, one 350-level seminar)and the courses specific to the major's concentration:
History: 35x, 35x
Theory: 35x, 345
Performance: 35x, 323, 324
Composition: 255, 256
2) An "A" grade in the capstone course and capstone project according to the major's concentration, and a successful public presentation at the majors' colloquium for a full-time faculty panel:
History: 495 OR 496
Theory: 493 OR 494
Performance: 423 AND 424
Composition: 491/492 (must take both - 0.5 credit each)
3) Satisfactory fulfillment of the ensemble participation requirement in every semester the student enrolls in an ensemble.
The student's final GPA will be certified at the end of the senior year just prior to graduation.
Additional Remarks
Student Music Society
The Student Music Society at Dickinson is open to all students interested in participating in and enriching campus musical culture. The Society sponsors many activities, including an informal concert series, performances of student compositions, regular meetings with guest artists or lecturers, and trips to off-campus concerts and lectures. Recent Society-sponsored events have included trips to Pittsburgh to hear a performance of Mozart's The Magic Flute and to the Metropolitan Opera in NYC to hear Don Giovanni.
Recent graduates
Recent graduates of the department include a Fulbright Fellowship winner, others are attending or have attended graduate school in music-related fields at Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, University of California - Los Angeles, the Pennsylvania State University, the Royal Academy of Music (London), the University of Michigan, Indiana University, Rutgers, Catholic University, Temple University, New York University, UCLA, Boston Conservatory and University of South Carolina. Graduates of the department are represented in the fields of music performance (the Philadelphia Orchestra), arts administration (the Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, BMI), musicological research (RILM), music publishing (G. Schirmer), academia, and are teaching in public schools and privately. An alumna teaches at Concordia College, and another has recently joined the music faculty at Princeton.

I've always wanted to start a company around Stanford, in the bay area. But through a course of highly exciting and interesting events, I've landed up in the pacific northwest. I believe firmly that geography does make a huge impact on the success of a startup. The proximity to potential customers, venture capitalists, and advisors does make a great difference. The most important ingredient of startups - people are also determined by the location of the startup. I've heard Mike Moritz of Sequoia Capital once say that he won't invest in a company that he cannot drive up to on a regular basis (he has invested in companies that don't fit this description, but that's just an exception!) The quality of universities have a large impact on determining, the quality of students(potential hires) available and the depth of research/innovation conducted in the area.
After my recent trip to the bay area, a introspective thought struck me - am I missing out on something by not being in the silicon valley? The valley breathes entrepreneurship. But, is it true when it comes to Web 2.0? I've discussed it some entrepreneurial folks at Stanford, YouTube and Google. Ryan Williams has geocoded the Web 2.0 companies to create an "Innovation Map" - that shows the geographical distribution of leading Web 2.0 companies (No, they are not all located in the valley, but a majority of them are.)
Dwipal has a cool link to a poster with logos of leading Web 2.0 companies.
Kosmar has created a neat mindcloud to describe a variety of Web 2.0 companies.

 After her suggestion to use netfabb i get these informations:

 the model on the website
  http://www.shapeways.com/model/452072/amphitheatrum_flavium_ __2004_cm____.html

 Should i let someone try to purchase the model and see what shapeways says, if its printable or not ?
 But I would reluctantly make someone an offer that probably can not be met.

I only changed some blocks in Minecraft and i have had to go through the repair process.
 And now that you mention it, I realize that they are the same numbers that differ only in their zero points.
 Maybe this happens because i choose on the uploadpage "Meters" in the "Unit of Measure", maybe, i dont know.

 Uploaded as millimeters.. that's microscopic.. way too small.
 Uploaded as inches.. it's still too small.
 Uploaded as meters.. it's 17 inches.. too big for the printer.

 Your best bet is to use Netfabb's "SCALE" command and increase the size a bit.. then upload as millimeters. A scale factor of 250 would put you at about 4 inches across.]]> stonysmith 2012-01-27T03:51:13-00:00

It is kind of cheap-or I am ******** and can't figure out the timer. Or a little of both. At any rate, I hope you enjoy this lame video of me playing in my back yard.

This review is from: ULTRALAST UL-NB4L 750mAh 3.7V Li-Ion Battery
Pros: Good price.
Cons: The Battery I received is only a 700 mAh and made in China. The advertisement states an 800 mAh battery. It does not last as long as the original Canon NB-4L. I purchased this one over the Dolica brand because it was rated higher and should last longer. Not worth the cost to return for an RMA.
Other Thoughts: It is an Ultrlast brand but does not look like the picture advertised here.

a humonstrous load of monsters
Dan Kornegay
This book was inspired by the idea that anyone can draw and everyone should. After cruising through an assortment of friendly monsters the reader is encouraged to draw their own on the last page - or anywhere they want to.
I made this for my son and took copies into his Kindergarten class - they didn't hesitate for a second to draw all over it. Neither should you.
I'm a software engineer who likes to draw, paint and make clay creatures with my son. Gotta put a little right brain with the left.

Lake Park, Georgia- July 3, 2012
Letter of Resignation Submitted by Mayor Ben Futch of Lake Park, Georgia:
"Last November, the citizens of Lake Park, Georgia elected me as a "write-in" candidate for Mayor of Lake Park. My platform was to clean up Lake Park and make its government more transparent and fiscally responsible. My goal was to eliminate the negative aura that had clouded Lake Park's image for too many years.
To accomplish the goals I set as mayor required a cooperative team of both elected officials and citizens conducting themselves in a civil manner. Our accomplishments to date are many, however they have been overshadowed by magnified negativity from the same opposing factions who relish in the status quo from the past, and by Ben Futch bias. The personal bias against me is nothing new and was fully expected, but what impeded our progress was the toll these outside influences took on certain members of the city council. Political decisions concerning Lake Park should be based on what is best for the city, not spite.
Polarizing Lake Park was not my intention, but I have come to the realization that teamwork with me as mayor under these conditions cannot exist. I am no quitter, but I am no fool, either.
I strongly urge the good citizens of Lake Park to require city business to be both transparent and fiscally responsible by regularly attending council meetings and being more involved in the decision-making process.
I sincerely thank my family, city staff and those supporters who have stood with me.
Effective today, July 3, 2012, I am resigning as Mayor of Lake Park, Georgia."
Ben Futch

THE DETAILS: New devices like e-readers, iPads, and iPhones do provide kids with new ways of consuming information, often in ways that make it more engaging and interactive. Apple's App Store is bulging with programs that reportedly help kids learn the alphabet, develop fine motor skills, and understand basic math, similar to traditional educational video games that have been around for years. Furthermore, an article published recently in the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy described one teacher's efforts to improve reading skills in her second grade classroom by using an Amazon's Kindle e-reader. The kids were able to use the device's "Notes" feature as they read to summarize plots and make comments about the characters. While the teacher couldn't provide hard numbers as to whether the e-books improved reading comprehension, her commentary noted that less-enthusiastic readers were more motivated to read a Kindle than a standard paper book.
WHAT IT MEANS: While all this new technology sounds attractive to parents—who doesn't want their child to learn?—there's absolutely no research showing that it is beneficial, says Vic Strasburger, MD, professor of pediatrics at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. "There's no research on educational uses of new technology, and there really needs to be," he says. "But at the same time, I think anything that gets kids interested in reading is good." Dr. Strasburger sits on the panel that writes the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP's) position statements on kids' exposure to media, and he says that the group is aware of the potential conflict between the benefits of educational technology and the organization's fairly strict recommendation that kids get no more than two hours of screen time every day. That covers TV, computer, and "other" electronic screens, and includes older children and teenagers.
"First, parents need to understand where that two-hour figure comes from," Dr. Strasburger says. The organization based the limit on research finding that most of the television and computer activity that takes place over two hours isn't high-quality screen time. Usually, it's cartoons or violent video games. "I guarantee you if you have a 15-year-old son with a computer in his bedroom, he's watching pornography," he says. Furthermore, he adds, the recommendation is based on numerous studies finding that screen time in excess of two hours is strongly correlated with obesity, regardless of how educational the programs or computer games may be.
It can be difficult to limit screen time to two hours a day when kids are constantly surrounded by screens, so here are a few suggestions:
• Pay attention to quality, not quantity. "When we say two hours of screen time, we generally mean two hours of entertainment screen time," Dr. Strasburger says. If you don't see any educational or informational value in what your kids are watching or doing online after two hours, pull the plug. And, he adds, the easiest way to know what they're doing is to keep televisions and computers in family rooms, not bedrooms.
• Don't use TV as a pacifier. Now that TV screens can be installed in cars and any parent can download a movie to a computer or mobile phone for long plane trips, it's easy to use screen entertainment as a way to placate fussy kids. "I'm not a big fan of using TV as a tranquilizer," Dr. Strasburger says. If you find yourself in need of a distraction, download an e-book for them, or use the old standby: crayons and a coloring book.
• Be aware of how and when kids are using technology. Teachers are getting really creative with using technology to reach out to older students, says Dr. Strasburger, and that's a good thing. "I think teachers need to join the twenty-first century and use technology to their advantage," he says. But kindergarten classrooms and day-care centers are another story. "Parents should be worried about screen time in day-care centers, where videos are used as electronic babysitters to pacify children and keep them happy." In fact, one study published in the journal Pediatrics found that kids in home-based child-care programs watched six times as much television as children in day-care centers did. See our stories Computers May be Harming Your Children and Should Your Child have an iPad?, by Rodale.com advisor Jeffrey Rossman, PhD, for more details on matching your children's computer use to their age group.
• Don't fall into the "Baby Einstein" trap. There is absolutely no evidence that infants learn anything from DVDs or other supposedly educational programming, says Dr. Strasburger. Even the makers of the famous Baby Einstein videos found that out after a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission forced the Walt Disney Company, the maker of the videos, to offer refunds to parents, noting that there was no research to support their claims that the videos made babies smarter. The AAP recommends zero screen time for infants.
