Two independent transcription initiation codes overlap on vertebrate core promoters.
1] Institute of Clinical Sciences and MRC Clinical Sciences Center, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, Hammersmith Hospital, Du Cane Road, London W12 0NN, UK [2] Department of Informatics, University of Bergen, Thormøhlensgate 55, N-5008 Bergen, Norway.
A core promoter is a stretch of DNA surrounding the transcription start site (TSS) that integrates regulatory inputs and recruits general transcription factors to initiate transcription. The nature and causative relationship of the DNA sequence and chromatin signals that govern the selection of most TSSs by RNA polymerase II remain unresolved. Maternal to zygotic transition represents the most marked change of the transcriptome repertoire in the vertebrate life cycle. Early embryonic development in zebrafish is characterized by a series of transcriptionally silent cell cycles regulated by inherited maternal gene products: zygotic genome activation commences at the tenth cell cycle, marking the mid-blastula transition. This transition provides a unique opportunity to study the rules of TSS selection and the hierarchy of events linking transcription initiation with key chromatin modifications. We analysed TSS usage during zebrafish early embryonic development at high resolution using cap analysis of gene expression, and determined the positions of H3K4me3-marked promoter-associated nucleosomes. Here we show that the transition from the maternal to zygotic transcriptome is characterized by a switch between two fundamentally different modes of defining transcription initiation, which drive the dynamic change of TSS usage and promoter shape. A maternal-specific TSS selection, which requires an A/T-rich (W-box) motif, is replaced with a zygotic TSS selection grammar characterized by broader patterns of dinucleotide enrichments, precisely aligned with the first downstream (+1) nucleosome. The developmental dynamics of the H3K4me3-marked nucleosomes reveal their DNA-sequence-associated positioning at promoters before zygotic transcription and subsequent transcription-independent adjustment to the final position downstream of the zygotic TSS. The two TSS-defining grammars coexist, often physically overlapping, in core promoters of constitutively expressed genes to enable their expression in the two regulatory environments. The dissection of overlapping core promoter determinants represents a framework for future studies of promoter structure and function across different regulatory contexts.

OAKLAND -- With the game and a playoff berth on the line, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry got three shots in the first 11 minutes, 59 seconds of the fourth quarter against Utah. Three shots.
For the guy widely regarded as the team's best player, and the best shooter in the league, that seems awfully low. Especially considering the Warriors had two lengthy droughts in the fourth quarter and managed just 21 points in a 97-90 loss Sunday.
"We've got to be more physical in getting him open, getting him his looks and getting bodies off of him," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "You respect the game plan, what people are going to try to do, but we don't want to surrender to it."
The Warriors have a get-well game Tuesday against visiting Minnesota, which is 18 games under .500. A win coupled with a loss by Utah or the Los Angeles Lakers would clinch the Warriors' first postseason bid since 2007. But success against the Timberwolves won't answer an emerging concern.
If you let Utah, a bad road team on the cusp of missing the playoffs, shut down Curry and the Warriors offense at the most critical of times, will Golden State be able to score in the postseason?
Sunday night was less an anomaly and more like a trend. The Warriors have lost seven of their last 10 games against winning teams, including Sunday's home loss to Utah. In those 10 games, the Warriors averaged 22.4 fourth-quarter points. That includes a 17-point fourth quarter in a blowout of visiting New York, but finding offense against stiff defenses has been a major problem.
"We just have to make the right plays out of whatever we're running. We haven't done that as a group," Curry said. "As long as that ball is moving, we should be able to make plays ... We've just got to execute at a high level, especially in the fourth quarter when things get tight and the moment builds up. ... No magic answer for it. Just make plays."
Part of the difficulty, illuminated by Utah, is the Warriors' small lineup. When Jackson puts Jarrett Jack at point guard, Curry at shooting guard and shooting guard Klay Thompson at small forward, it creates two problems, one of which is caused by forward Carl Landry replacing 7-footer Andrew Bogut at center in the three-guard lineup.
"I think it's easier to take me out of plays, because you know where my options are," Curry said of playing off the ball. "If you set good screens it will work and if I do my cuts hard it will work. But there is not as much creativity you can use with that."
Jackson likes having Jack on the floor, so the three-guard lineup isn't going anywhere. That makes sense considering the way Jack has played this season. Jack is more secure with the ball than Curry, and defenses have aggressively double-teamed Curry late in games, something harder to do when he's playing off the ball.
This quandary will continue into the postseason when the defenses step up a notch and coaching chess matches ensue. Because, no doubt, as goes Curry, so goes Golden State.

District 17 Representative Bill Flores, whose district covers most of the Brazos Valley, is talking about the long-running GOP race for the Presidential nomination.
He called into Brazos Valley This Morning Wednesday and said that, personally, he's ready to have one candidate for the party.
"If you look at the field, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich obviously have no chance, and I'm not sure that they're doing anybody any good by staying in the race," said Flores.
Mitt Romney has swept a trio of GOP primaries, coasting to wins over chief rival Rick Santorum in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C.
"Rick Santorum seems to still think he's in it, but he'd have to win virtually 100 percent of the remaining delegates to do that," Flores added. The Congressman is looking at the math when it comes to how many delegates a nominee must have to get the Republican nomination.
Romney leads the race for delegates with 646. His closest rival, Rick Santorum, has 272. It takes 1,144 delegates to win the GOP nomination for president.
"In my view, we need to have a general election nominee selected pretty quickly. And that person needs to be out running against the person that they need to go after, and that's President Obama. And they need to be raising monies so they can carry out that race," said Flores.
During his interview with Brazos Valley This Morning, Flores also talked about the budget passed by the House. President Obama attacked the "Path to Prosperity" budget during a speech to a group of news editors and reporters Tuesday. The president said it was a "Trojan horse" and would greatly deepen inequality in the U.S.
"The President is absolutely wrong on this," Flores said.
"What we've tried to do is put together a responsible program and it's balanced." The congressman said the budget relies on decreased spending and provisions that strengthen Medicare for the future. He also said the House Budget grows federal revenues through tax reforms which, according to Flores, will improve our economic situation.

Middle English: from Old French corde, from Latin chorda, from Greek khordē 'gut, string of a musical instrument'.
chord from Middle English:
The sense of a group of musical notes was originally spelt cord and was a shortening of accord (Middle English) in the sense 'bring into harmony', which came from Latin accordere literally 'to bring to heart'. The accordion (mid 19th century) ultimately gets its name from the same source. The sort of chord found in mathematics is also a respelling of cord, but this time in the sense 'rope'. This was a Middle English word from Latin chorda, which came in turn from Greek khorde 'gut, string of a musical instrument'. The spellings of both chords was changed to be more like their classical sources.

As it happens I had just finished writing a piece on teens and social media, touching on cyberbullying when the perfect storm of media idiocy broke out.
It began when Amanda Carpenter, a speechwriter for Sen. Ted Cruz, tweeted that Republicans could defund Obamacare.
Allen Brauer, communications chairman of the Sacramento County Democratic Party, tweeted in response, �May your children all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases.�
When some people evidently protested that this was a bit out of bounds, Brauer went on in the same vein for about an hour.
�I'm being attacked on Twitter for wishing one of Ted Cruz's pubic lice to experience the pain her boss is inflicting on Americans,� Brauer tweeted. �Yes, your party takes bread from the mouths of starving children and medicine from the sick, and I'm the problem. Got it."
Wiser heads ultimately prevails and Brauer apologized.
�I am truly sorry for my tweet. I was very upset and lashed out. Your kids are not fair game either. My apologies."
Carpenter tweeted in reply, �Thank you, I appreciate it.�
The National Rifle Association was not so forgiving after David Guth, associate professor of journalism at the University of Kansas, tweeted after the Washington Navy Yard shootings.
"#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you."
Guth however, is not apologizing.
Guth told Fox4KC.com. "I don�t apologize for it because I'm not saying in the tweet that I want anybody harmed, and I expanded on it in my blog. I defend the NRA's rights first and second amendments and I hope they respect mine."
Actually he did say he wanted someone harmed in his tweet, someone�s children in fact, and the Kansas State Rifle Association is calling for his dismissal.
According to the university Guth has been placed on "indefinite administrative leave pending a review of the entire situation."
That is, the university would like him to keep out of sight until the furor dies down.
I actually have a Twitter account. I opened one for reasons I forget, but have never tweeted anything. Nor do I follow anyone�s tweets.
I�m one of the most interesting people I know, but even I don�t think anyone would be interested in a minute-by-minute account of the thoughts running through my head. If I ever forget this my children are there to remind me. Because I�m a writer I tend to think out loud in the car, that�s how I do the first draft of much of what I write. My children assure me the process is not fascinating.
I concede Twitter has some uses for public figures and people organizing enterprises that require constant updates.
But there�s something I learned a long time ago when email was new to me. The technology to compose and send a message to a large number of people within the space of a few minutes creates endless opportunity to make a conspicuous fool of yourself.
Email created the opportunity, Twitter made it easier still.
At times like this I think of the movie �Notting Hill� (1999) with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. At one point in the movie papparazzi take a picture of Roberts leaving Grant�s house in the early morning hours.
Robert�s character explains to Grant that the immediate furor may die down, but that picture is not going away. Not ever. It�s going to remain in files and be brought out whenever a rumor or hint of scandal about her arises.
Back in 1999 that was life for movie stars. Now it�s the reality for all of us.
Teens have no cognitive ability to grasp what �the rest of your life� means, and a lot of grownups who didn�t grow up with this kind of tech haven�t grasped the implications yet. Or maybe they�re just idiots with a lot of anger issues and little self-control.
Let�s face it, all of us have engaged in a lot of cringe-worthy behavior from time to time. But nowadays it�s harder to forget and impossible to walk away from.
I don�t know how this is all going to shake out, but I wonder if we�re going to become both more tolerant and more reserved in our public demeanor.

The Minnesota Council on Economic Education (MCEE) will honor Ms. Nicole Linscheid at its annual EconFest celebration on November 8, 2012 at the 3M Innovation Center in Maplewood. Ms. Linscheid will receive the 3M Innovative Educator Award which recognizes educators who approach the teaching of economics with creativity at the elementary and secondary levels. She will receive the second place award in the elementary division.
Ms. Linscheid is a teacher at Clarkfield Area Charter School. In selecting the winning teachers, judges considered innovation in approach, emphasis on basic economic concepts, ease of replication, and assessment of student learning.
In Ms. Linscheid's award-winning learning activity, Students read Lemons and Lemonade: a Book about Supply and Demand, stopping at each section to discuss the economic concepts (goods, services, income, expenditures, gross profit, net profit, and market) and to predict what will happen next for the girl in the story who is opening a lemonade stand. The students then choose an occupation created by the teacher that simulates opportunities to earn an income. During the simulation, the students also have expenses and, as an incentive, are able to purchase services (such as homework coupons) from the profit they make.
Ms. Linscheid will receive $500 during the award ceremony for her outstanding achievement.

At the age of 13, Len Rhodes landed his first gig doing what he loved: playing the organ for his church.
Forty-seven years later, he's stilling doing it.
Continuing a career driven by his love of music, Rhodes, a pianist and composer, is now the organist at Lord of the Mountains Church in Dillon, among his many other pursuits.
Rhodes' storied career has been one defined by his unfettered creativity and constant pursuit of new opportunities.
"Len does what he does," Rhode's wife, Sandy, said. "Wherever he is he creates opportunities not only for himself, but for other people."
Over the years he taught piano lessons, started a theater company and founded a non-profit called Pikes Peak Young Composers, which is dedicated to giving young musicians from all over the world their start.
For the last five years, Rhodes has been doing what he does in Summit County, as a board member of the Breckenridge Music Festival and the artistic director for the arts association, heading up the Chamber Music Series for the last three winters. He also teaches music at Summit High School.
Born and raised in London at the height of the rock-and-roll era, Rhodes' love of music began and remained with the piano. His mother began teaching him to play at the age of 2. By 4 he was taking private lessons, and at 13 he was composing, performing and teaching others.
"That's what I did," Rhodes said of his school years. "It was totally my focus. I played soccer and cricket, but music was my focus."
As a young adult, Rhodes dove into a music scene that was exploding around him with the creative talent of The Beetles, Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Peter Frampton.
"The British invasion here started over there," Rhodes says of his youth in the '60s and '70s in England. "It was a very exciting time to be involved in music. I remember if there was any song played on the radio that had any sort of significant piano in it, the kids at school would expect me to have it memorized so I could play it for them. And I did."
Though he was coming-of-age in a historic time for rock 'n' roll, which he says he liked, Rhodes remained loyal to classical music. He received degrees from the Royal Academy of Music and the London College of Music before going on to study composition at the University of London.
After finishing his academic work, he took the natural next step into the world of performing, recording and composing.
He worked as a studio musician and began arranging for "various people," he says vaguely, preferring not to drop names.
In 1982, at the age of 30, Rhodes decided to migrate to the United States. He landed in Houston, where he became involved in the theater, both playing for shows and arranging music. It was a full-time job, rehearsing during the day and performing at night for the theater's productions of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Beehive."
But he found time to sign on as a pianist director for a trio of singers - one of whom was Sandy. The two married in 1985.
Five years later, with his father's health failing, the couple returned to England where they made their home in a 500-year-old cottage just outside the city.
There, Rhodes' passion for music landed him a job with the British Broadcasting Company producing its choir girl of the year competition, pushed him to establish a theater company and took him to a benefit where he performed for the royal family.
In 1990, he returned to the United States and took a job as coordinator for the Trinity College of London, and settled in Colorado, which they said seemed like a good place to raise their children. It was while living in Colorado Springs in the mid-1990s, that Len established Pikes Peak Young Composers.
Like teaching music, composing is a passion that has followed Rhodes all his life, he said. His first pieces of music were written when he was a young adult, growing out of his earlier affinity for improvisation.
"The natural progression from my earliest days of improvisation was to start writing things," Rhodes said. "Fast forward 40 years, one of the reasons I started Pikes Peak Young Composers was to encourage young people to start writing things down, to start recording."
The organization started as a regional competition. Today, it receives major orchestral works from students across the country and all over the world, and provides education, evaluation and performance opportunities for young composers.
"I went through years and years of teaching, realizing that kids were losing that ability, or were never really encouraged to develop that ability," Rhodes said. "I also had some students who were writing music, and they wanted more than just my evaluation."
Still a composer in his own right, Rhodes says he draws inspirations from everyone from his classical favorites, including Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude Debussy and Oliver Messiaen - who studied with one of his college professors - to his contemporaries, such as The Beatles.
"I listen to everything," Rhodes said. "I utilize any and every element of my background and experience."
Over the last few years, he has accumulated a collection of original work. His still-busy work schedule, which has landed him on stage with performers ranging from Mike Tyson to Liza Minnelli to Leon Joseph Littlebird, has prevented him from recording much lately, but he said it's at the top of the list for the coming year.
"It's been really busy, so I'm ready to take a deep breath and stay home and write and record some ideas," Rhodes said.

Arthur, 27, is not a Belieber.
"He's got songs that are hardly classified as songs in my opinion," said the local musician, a member of bands Radio 1 and Sacra Via. "It's nice to see someone else (win) besides the flavor of the month."

Spalding's victory was one of several surprises at the musical awards show that also saw Canadian indie band Arcade Fire take album of the year honors over some pretty popular competition - Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
It marked one of the biggest nights in years for independent record labels, setting the stage for a surge in their online music sales. In all, independent label artists won awards in 45 of 108 categories, the most since 2008, and they accounted for 273 of the 542 nominations, up from 231 three years ago, according to the American Association of Independent Music.
The presence of the indies during the annual awards show has grown in recent years as more bands appeal to fans directly through Facebook and YouTube instead of traditional sales channels.
Google was flooded with "Esperanza Spalding" searches after her win was announced. Online album sales hit 3,000 over 12 hours on Sunday night up from an average of 300 the previous week, according to Mike Gillespie, senior vice president of sales for Spalding's label, Concord Music Group. The company plans to ship up to 100,000 physical CDs this week, up from the normal 2,000 to 3,000 discs, as stores like Best Buy stock up on the winners. If sold, the amount would more than triple her sales so far.
Arthur said he's among those whose curiosity about Spalding was piqued Sunday night.
"I'm interested enough that I would go look for it," he said.
Joe Davis, owner of the Sound Exchange in Parkersburg (and no relation to Amber Davis), said he didn't stock Spalding's latest album, "Chamber Music Society," before Sunday. Now, his distributor's out of it for the time being.
"I'd heard the name but I wasn't really familiar with her," Joe Davis said. "We will get it in stock."
The Sound Exchange sells a few Arcade Fire albums, but not in great numbers, he said.
Another lesser-known artist that had some time in the Grammy spotlight - Mumford & Sons, also a best new artist nominee - has a bit stronger local following, Joe Davis said.
That band's inclusion in the show, along with a performance by one of his favorite bands, the Avett Brothers, is what drew Arthur to watch part of the ceremony, something he usually avoids.
"I really don't get caught up in a lot of today's hit music," he said.

I have a 2008 ice wine that I haven't stored in a refrigeration unit. I was wondering if it is still good to drink. I have had the bottle stored upright in a dark cabinet that stays room temperature. Does it only need refrigeration just before serving?
— Hugh R., Ashland
A wine expert would say it's probably OK to drink. But you would have been better off if the bottle had been laid on its side, which keeps the cork from drying out. A dry cork lets air get into the bottle, which can spoil the wine.
It is preferable, however, to keep wine in the dark because sunlight can damage it. Room temperature or cooler is fine for storage. Chill the wine before serving.
As far as the question of drinkability, you're just going to have to open the bottle and see what you think. Generally, ice wines should have a deep, golden color; brown tinges signal trouble.
If the drinking experience isn't what you hoped, don't write off ice wines. The best examples balance decadent sweetness with vibrant acidity, a mouth-pleasing creaminess and brilliant golden color, making them a nice option year-round.
A little goes a long way, though. A 2-ounce pour is standard, so a 375-milliliter bottle should serve seven to eight people at a sitting.
Ice wines are expensive because they are so hard to produce. Grapes are left on the vine until temperatures reach 17 F. The water inside each grape turns to ice, and the remaining juices and sugars become concentrated. The ice and juice are separated at the winery, and the juice turned into wine.
It's these requirements that have ensured Canada's place as the world's major producer of "Icewine," which is a legally protected name.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012
GLOVERVILLE, S.C. -- Robert and Linda Rutland's neighborhood crime watch is on high alert.
"We try to watch out for each other, but it's kind of hard sometimes," said Robert Rutland.
Sometime Monday night, burglars broke in to their granddaughter's truck outside their home on McDonald Street in Gloverville, and they stole a variety of things: a radio, CDs, sunglasses, a small pocket knife and an iPod Nano.
"It took her a long time to save up when she was going to school to get the truck, and then it took a long time to save the money up to get the radio," Linda said.
Overall, about $310 of stuff, but the next day, they found out something more surprising. Many of their neighbors had been hit, too.
"Since Sunday night to today, we've had 22 burglaries of items out of vehicles," said Cpt. Troy Elwell with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
Elwell says all 22 were around Gloverville and Warrenville. Three were on Wayland Street, two were on Boatright Road and another was on Project Road. A CD player and sunglasses were stolen on Pine Street in Gloverville, another was hit on Carolina Street and others were on Gravely Road, Oak Street, Murphy Street, Alley Street, Johson Road, Turnbull Street, Boatright Road and two more on County Glen Avenue in Graniteville, too.
"We reallocated some manpower. We're looking at changing up some individuals that normally work daytime to work night shift to try to apprehend these individuals. We believe it's one or two people that are in the area or may not even live in the area," Elwell said.
As for the Rutlands, they're remaining vigilant, and they're telling their neighbors to report anything out of the ordinary.
Elwell says a lot of the cars broken into were not locked. He says people there in the Valley, and throughout the county, should lock their doors and take valuables out each night. Parking your car under a light can also help.
If you have any information about these break-ins, call the Aiken County Sheriff's Office at 1-800-922-3211.

About the Book
In this Newbery Honor Book from beloved author Beverly Cleary, eight-year-old Ramona Quimby's zest for life is infectious as ever. Whether speaking her mind to her third-grade teacher, or befriending her schoolyard bully, Ramona can't be kept down!
Then one day an embarrassing incident in the classroom leaves Ramona completely humiliated. Can she bounce back from this one?
Supports the Common Core State Standards
Riding the school bus alone isn't the only new experience making third grade exciting for Ramona Quimby. From befriending a boy called Yard Ape to delivering her book report in the style of a television commercial, Ramona's enthusiasm for life is infectious and irresistible.
That's not to say all is perfect. Having to go to the Kemps' house after school is Ramona's own particular burden—especially the chore of being nice to pesky little Willa Jean. When Ramona gets sick and throws up in class, she feels as though things can't get worse!
In this Newbery Honor Book, newly illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers, Beverly Cleary lovingly chronicles Ramona's experiences as she faces all of her third-grade challenges with imagination and determination.

Poland to ban MON810 maize
16.04.2012 - The Polish government is to ban Monsanto's MON810 maize making it the seventh in the club of EU countries to stop cultivation of the GM crop.
Warsaw – The move follows protests in Warsaw last month by around 1,500 beekeepers and anti-GM protesters who dumped thousands of dead bees on the steps of the Ministry of Agriculture. Agriculture Minister Marek Sawicki has announced that the government would implement a ban on the cultivation of the genetically modified MON 810 maize. The minister claimed the pollen might be responsible for a host of health problems and may even be the cause of the dwindling bee population. The government now wants to pass a law that circumvents the need to obtain EU approval for a ban on any GMO crops. Revised Polish regulations would stipulate that the ban may be implemented and that it will suffice simply to notify the European Commission of the matter. "We are pleasantly surprised that the government is looking for a way of actually implementing the ban," said Greenpeace spokesman Jacek Winiarski after having a discussion with governmental representatives. If Poland implements the ban, it will follow in the footsteps of Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg which have all banned the cultivation of MON 810 at different stages, saying it threatens biodiversity.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/poland-imposes-ban-on-gmos.html

Definition of anaerobic in English:
1Relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen: anaerobic bacteria
More example sentences
- They found the samples contained anaerobic bacteria that grew on sugars and proteins in total absence of oxygen.
- Sugar availability is one of the elements required to support anaerobic metabolism.
- River water begins to putrefy when lack of oxygen promotes the growth of anaerobic bacteria, which produce the tell-tale smell of stale water.
1.1Relating to or denoting exercise that does not improve or is not intended to improve the efficiency of the body's cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen.
Example sentences
- Some experts say that after six to eight weeks of regular anaerobic exercise, a short hiatus is required to promote growth.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Lost for words. Three players on the pitch who seemed they could pass, tackle or make saves.
The rest looked as though they didn't know where they were supposed to be playing. I thought we were renowned for quick attacking passing football.
But at one point I thought we were going to be poor again and sneak a result.
Oh, and the Ade dive for the Zabaleta yellow was out of order.
I'll leave the subs comments up to you.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think I must watch different games - this is from the Spurs web site - it is a quote from AVB with regard to the match:
'..."The players showed real desire, we believed we could get something and in the end it was disappointing," reflected Andre.
"We looked sharp in the first half and defensively we played well. We could have done a little more with the ball but we improved that in the second half and at the moment we were finding gaps and spaces, that's when we conceded. That put us on the back foot.
"That goal was important because we were looking comfortable with the ball and it gave them the extra impetus to attack us.
"We tried to adapt and hold onto the result but we couldn't in the end. I look back at the game and certainly making it 1-1 was key for them."....'
Real desire? Finding gaps? Looking comfortable?
That isn't what I saw - I know we all see things differently, but AVB's view seems diametrically opposite.
What I seem to see is like a team of schoolkids who have been given a way of playing that they don't understand. They know that they need to be in certain positions, but not quite what to do when they're there.
I don't recall seeing us string more that three passes together more than a half dozen times in the whole game and when we did it seemed to be between two or three players who had no where to go. No passing, no movement.
AVB still needs time, but I wonder what Levy's 'progress points' are as to me we seem to be moving backward. The opening game against Toon was relatively OK. Then it appeared to drop to not being able to play for more than a half a game. The last two games, the whole game has been poor. To me it's the manner of the performances that is the most worrying. A flair team with no flair - is that a side effect of too rigid an approach?
The past few seasons (since and including Jol), I hadn't worried about playing the 'big' teams, as I thought we were always in with a chance - both home and away. And apart from the Woolwich game last season where I thought we were awful, I thought we've been there or there abouts.
I'm not looking forward to the Woolwich game next weekend. I hope AVB proves me wrong and at least gets a performance from us.
As opposed to what would be acceptable this season, what do you think would make it unacceptable for Levy to continue with AVB and what are the cutoffs?
I would say that Levy would go for dropping out of the Europa and being either below mid way or so far off sixth in way of points as to make Europe (Cups aside) out of bounds - at Christmas. 17 points now, 8 games to half way - 30 points by Christmas surely has to be a minimum, and still being in the Europa? Or is Levy more impulsive than that and just works on gut feelings?
- 1 Reply to Jlock
I think Spurs need a 'whip' or at least a party line, as Steve Caulker doesn't seem to agree with AVB's assessment:
"In the second half we started to drop off with their pressure, they kept going and scored two goals in the end.
"They are a strong side and we can take a lot of pride in that performance, especially in the first half. We'll try to bounce back in the North London derby next week
Maybe I misunderstood AVB's comments, but I thought he was saying that we started ok in the 1st half and got better in the 2nd (ie did more with the ball and found the gaps and spaces).
After finishing 4th, we invariably don't do so well the following season (of course I've only got one instance to base that on)...looks like we're on our way to mediocrity again.
As mentioned it was just a handful of players that could hold their heads up after this one.
The manager...another coward in a long line of cowardly managers (that is, a manager who's afraid to let his lions loose and go win the game...he got lucky once with this tactic of defending a slim lead, but he's failed a number of times already with the same cowardly approach). Spurs have never really been known as a team with a olid defense in recent times, but we can usually be relied on to create chance after chance and in some cases convert more of our chances than the other team does their's. With AVB not even that is happening anymore...we're now 7th and sliding...the next few games we'll be just as difficult for us as this one was and I really can't see us getting much from them, if anything!
Not sure what the right thing is to get things moving in the right direction...firing AVB doesn't really sound like the answer...maybe having a word with him about horses for courses..Moyes scouts teams before he plays them and sets his team up accordingly, I would have thought any manager worth his salt would be doing the same thing (if ours is, he's not learning much).
We do have injuries (I say our midfield improves right away of the same Scott Parker that was running the show before his injury, returns...ditto Kaboul. If this Dembele "hip thing" isn't too severe (they're treating it with therapy because surgery doesn't cure his aliment...did we buy a crock?) then some creativity comes back (where's Sigurdsson?). 4-4-2 at home is another thing he might want to try (we didn't look so great in that formation in the Europa this past week...but we outscored the opponent (also a bit weak), which proves my point).
Come on you Spurs!! (get it right, and soon!)
cant understand whats going on,looks like they never played together before,no passion,looks like a lost team,if avb thinks this is the way to play then he would be better off leaving,this is not spurs.

the scary thing is city were poor & had it not been for some woeful finishing, they still would have hammered us!
hats off to sandro. another superb performance especially when he has hudd lumbering about next to him.
also well done to ade who worked hard & run his socks off.
again, another poor performance! avb was so negative & changed nothing yet again.
defoe scores & hatrick & then is put on the bench!
no wonder we never looked like scoring bar the goal which was an awfully defended set piece.
the only positive is maybe another performance is a step closer to levy realising avb was his big mistake.
on a brighter note, i got tickets to the swans game at home next month.
i look foward to seeing avb play defensively & try & snatch a 0-0 at home to the swans!
my other issues is his rotation. vertoghen has just about played every game going. its his 1st season in the prem too.
he is going get burn out by march if avb plays him in every cup & league match going.
u dont need to be einstein to tell he needs a break.
caulker & gallas just dont gel together at cb. id much rather he give dawson & caulker ago together.
im not looking foward to arsenal away. looks like 4 defeats its going to be 4 defeats in a row!
bring on moyes levy! oh & bring fellani with u!
Spurs would have 25 points and be running in 2nd if a match was only 80 minutes long. Enough said I think? Too many times we lose points in the last 10 minutes.

Two more possible cases of West Nile virus have been diagnosed in Michigan residents. The latest cases are a 44-year-old Bay County woman and a nine-month-old Oakland County boy.
If confirmed, the new cases bring the total in Michigan to four. The U.S. Center for Disease Control is expected to announce next week the test results from two Oakland County men who were hospitalized earlier this month of symptoms of the West Nile virus.
David Johnson, chief medical executive for the Michigan Department of Medical Health says he is, "very pleased that all four of these individuals are expected to be doing well," and are expected to fully recover.

So the weight weenies here at Sage Cycles and BPX as the premier Scott Bike Dealer in San Antonio, are stoked about the super legit New 2012 Scott Spark RC 29er HMX Carbon bike announced at least weeks Interbike. We ordered a bunch of them, I personally ordered a frame to build up as I like. So, I am starting to do research into the best bicycle parts for a lightweight build to match to this awesome frame. I am starting with the wheels. Some of the interesting ones on the market today are the Easton EC90 XC Wheelset and the ENVE 29 XC Wheelset. Clincher or tubular? What comments do you have on carbon 29er wheelsets? What works?
Scott Spark RC 29er – Build Project
6 Responses to Scott Spark RC 29er – Build Project
Wheels – On my build I'm going with Am Classic 29 MTB Race or MTB 29. I think these wide rims results in making the bike faster than the lower weight of carbon rim. Plus, I'm not ready for carbon rims for my everyday ride. I'd rather spend the money on exotic cranks and brakes.
How much is a 2012 Spark frame? Can you ship to Austria?
Hi Rick,
I'll chime in with my two cents. I've been beating the snot out of my Reynolds Topo C carbon 29er rims for several hard seasons of racing. Last year I did over 50 offroad races and this year I'm about at the same mark and I've also done all of my training rides on these rims. They are from 2007 and at the time were the first 29er carbon mtb rims in production! I ride mainly in Austin over loads of rocks, ledges, drops and nasty climbs, as well as most of the tamer stuff that comprises the TMBRA circuits. The things are tough as nails, and I'm sure the newer stuff is even stronger (and lighter). After seeing what the world cup downhillers have gotten away with on the Enve hoops, If I could afford it I would jump on a set of those in a second. The DT Swiss 240s hubs on my Reynolds have been bomb proof and are very light with low drag, so I'd opt for a set of those to go with the Enves.
No problem! You could always use the DT Swiss 190s if you're feeling super bling. If you are looking for something even more exotic (and lighter, though durability is an unknown), check out the AX Lightness, Extralite and Tune hub offerings. Personally I'd stick to DT, or another known quantity if you plan to ride the thing, servicing them is super easy and they are still extremely light weight.
Hi Rick,
Do you know the weight of the original DT Swiss XR-RS29 wheelset? I've also ordered a 29 RC and looking for tuning potential.

Trishna Begam">
Sarah Brusco is happy with her current T-Mobile plan and worries that prices would go up after a merger. (March 24, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
News 12 This Morning at 6 o'clock / Thursday, March 24, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. --- It's a $39 billion deal between two of the biggest cell phone companies in the nation. AT&T is trying to keep up with the insatiable demand for data use by merging with T-Mobile. Millions of iPhone users helped AT&T gain billions of dollars, but those users are also using up AT&T's resources.
"Right now with 4G and faster phones, what we need is more spectrum. We're exhausting the spectrum we have on our existing infrastructure," said Josh Gelinas, an AT&T spokesperson.
By purchasing T-Mobile, AT&T says they'll have more coverage due to the added cell phone towers. "In our house people had to walk two blocks away to get coverage using AT&T. Everyone with iPhones and everything," said T-Mobile customer Sarah Brusco.
Brusco is happy with her T-Mobile service and she's worried about what the deal means for her phone plan. "We got T-Mobile for a reason," she said. "We would have chosen AT&T if we wanted AT&T. I'm concerned just about my plan and price changes to coverage and everything."
"Between 1998 and 2010 there were five significant communication mergers," explained Gelinas. "During that time pricing actually dropped."
AT&T does not offer unlimited data plans, but T-Mobile does. AT&T says they are not expecting any changes to plans or pricing in the near future for T-Mobile customers.
Customers with AT&T are more optimistic about the deal, and they are hoping it'll improve their coverage. "I think their service is excellent. I'm very happy with the wi-fi and 3G service. Hope to move up to the 4G." said Dennis Thompson, an AT&T customer.
By combining, AT&T hopes to keep up with its customers and data traffic, which grew 8,000 percent in the past four years. It is expected to grow ten times busier by 2015 compared to 2010.
Since both companies use the same technology, you don't have to worry about buying a new phone that's compatible with AT&T's network once the deal finalizes. T-Mobile also added in a statement they sent to News 12 that until this deal closes, the two companies remain competitors, and there are no changes in services for their customers
The deal will take approximately 12 months to close. AT&T and T-Mobile will have to go through a review process. An AT&T spokesperson says they are fairly confident the deal will get the green light from the government.

The annual Redwood Falls Traveler's Club Easter egg hunt is being held this Saturday at 9 a.m. sharp at the RACC. Those who are planning to attend are encouraged to not be late, as the "hunt" is over very quickly. According to Dale Cech, who helps to coordinate the annual event, there are more than 2,000 eggs which are going to be available to those youth who attend the event Saturday morning. Members of the Traveler's Club are going to be stuffing those eggs with candy, coins, coupons and other prizes from Red-wood area businesses this Friday. The event is open to those who are in third grade and younger, with separate areas for different age groups. Following the gathering of eggs, an Easter bunny brunch is being held in the community center, with a free will donation being accepted from those who attend. Serving lines move quickly. The Easter bunny is going to be visiting, as well. The annual event is sponsored by the Trav-eler's Club, Redwood area businesses, the Redwood Falls parks and recreation department, the Redwood Area Early Childhood Coalition and Morgan's Deli and Catering. All are invited and encouraged to attend this community event.

Radar 2016 Lyric
Regular Price: $329.99
Special Price: $263.99
What You'll Feel- This year we decided to graphically tie the Lyric to the Senates, representing the fact that they share the same mold set. The easy riding, overly forgiving shape is crafted with a softer layup, making turns smooth and wake crossings soft.Key Features
• Floral scented ink
• Aerocore
• Carbon/fiberglass laminates
• .2" wider blueprint
• Recommended max speed 34mph
• RST (radiused stability turn) tail shapeSenate Technology
Senates have a flowing design. The end of the flat spot connects to a single rocker radius, determining tip height and defining tip rocker. This smooth transition continuously rises out of the concave until it feathers out to the flat surface in the tip. In a turn approach, as the water break moves forward on the ski, a graduating amount of support meets your forward movement. The depth of concave (suction) infinitely fades into the flat surface of the tip (support), creating a ride that is unhindered by tip bite or erratic speed breaks. This geometry also allows for smooth water flow entering the concave for a consistent ride. A perfect amount of tip height was met to help with rough water conditions and easy wake crossings.Learn More

Each Augusta commissioner agreed it was a good idea: taking a tour of every district to learn more about the issues there.
But during the last tour, only three commissioners showed up.
Thursday's tour of District 1 was better; five commissioners were on board this time.
Some commissioners say District 1 runs a close second with District 2 as being one of the neediest areas in Augusta.
It's a part of town they're in all the time...
After all, the municipal building lies in District 1.
But for Augusta commissioners, it's their first time together on a tour of this part of the Garden City.
"I think even I will be learning from this trip," said District 1 Commissioner Betty Beard as she guided a bus full of tourists, including the mayor and four commissioners.
"I want to look at my district as a glass that is half full, rather than half empty," Commissioner Beard says.
Her district includes most of downtown, as well as the Laney Walker, Phinizy Swamp, and Sand Hills area.
"Listen," Beard says, "in every area, in every neighborhood in District 1, we have needs and we have problems that need to be corrected.
Getting close attention from city leaders is an area off East Boundary where overgrown grass and dilapidated homes create what some call an eyesore.
"It's another one of those areas where we need to strictly enforce code laws and regulations and go in and take over homes and tear them down and use some of our HUD money to rebuild these homes," says Commissioner Joe Bowles.
"My concern is there has been major flooding down there forever," says Commissioner J.R. Hatney.
And while an hour may not be enough time to see the district in its entirety, Betty Beard says it's a start.
"I think it has many needs, but I think it has many exciting things going and I want to show both sides," she says.
Beard says she is hoping the city's new panhandling ordinance will make the downtown area more inviting. She says begging has been a major concern in that part of the district.
Most of the commissioners who did not take Thursday's bus tour were at work.
The commissioners are expected to take another bus tour in a couple weeks.
So far, they've toured District 2, which is Marion Williams' district, District 3, which is Joe Bowles district, and now Betty Beard's District 1.
The plan is to tour eight commission districts. They're not going on tours of the super-district areas because they overlap the smaller districts.

Concord Monitor: Washington gun vote was a double abomination
"It may well take the obstruction of the passage of popular legislation despite majority support in the Senate, something akin to the events at the onset of World War I that led to the adoption of Rule XXII, to make the fundamental change I think is necessary to reflect the current realities of the U.S. Senate."

I wish I had some great running story to post today, but the truth is I have been at the hospital with my Mom every spare second and they kind of frown on running around the halls. Plan to join the running group on monday though no matter what. Hope everyone else is able to get there.
I hope your mom is doing okay. Maybe you can hit the stairs a few times to get your blood pumping. I know when I sit at the hospital my legs get numb.
I did my second 5K on Thursday with the Detroit 5K. It was a BLAST! It went so fast. I was so engrossed with watching everyone that I didn't realize I was running faster than I ever have. Had my best time according to my Nike + app. My pace was 12:07. There was a major backup at the finish line so the posted times online are way off. It was like a herd of cattle. We spent 10 minutes walking about the last 100 feet. There were 22,000 runners. The city was alive and everyone was cheering. I took my dog with me and she loved it! She's a little 12 lb Maltese so she kinda pooped out towards the end.
What's next for me? Improving my 5k time over the next few weeks and doing at least one 5K in December and January. I'm going to start doing the 5K to 10K training app eventually. Right now I want to gain more strength and speed so I will run a minimum of 3 miles every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with cycling or elliptical workouts on the other days.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I sure did!
I actually got to make it to my running group class this tonight. It was very painful and I can definitely tell I have been doing less running than normal, but it was good to get out. I love running in the cold! Hoping I can get out there a couple more times this week but we have a Christmas weekend trip this weekend Christmas tree lighting in a little town called Levenworth washington) so we'll see.
Keep moving everyone!
Congratulations Maureen!
uuuhhhhggggg! other than my running group on tues I have not been able to get out and run. Between running back and forth to my Mom and home and making my 4 yr feel like she hasn't lost her Mom I have not had the time or energy. Today we off for our Christmas weekend in the mt's for the tree lighting in Leavenworth. If the trails are not to slippery I may try to get out at least once. anyone else having a hard time just getting out there?
I did sign up for a run on Jan 1st, the resolution run and polar bear plunge. Yep the finish line is in a very cold Lake washington.
I am having an awful problem with motivation! I have none!
Hi everyone! Congrats Maureen on your second 5k! That sounds like it was wonderful!
Tomorrow is my appointment with the Orthopaedic foot and ankle guy. I am so excited to start getting this foot problem taken care of, especially since it seems to be getting worse and worse even though I haven't run in almost 3 weeks. I'll let you all know how it goes!
I did my third 5K on Saturday and got my best time so far. 38:25. I know that's not that great but for pokey me it was!! I'm noticing that now that the C25K app is done, a lot of people are having trouble staying motivated. I refuse to waste all the $$ I spent on shoes, inserts, socks and clothes so I won't stop. There aren't too many 5K's going on anymore so I might start the 5K to 10K app over the winter months.
Nicolette, I am in a great running group through meetup.com and I highly suggest looking to see if there is a running group in your area you could join. If not, you can start one. It doesn't require any prior experience or know how to start a group. You just come up with a name and location to do your runs and people will join. This group keeps me accountable. I have been blessed to be with someone who is accommodating to my slowness and very encouraging.
Congrats on improving your time! That's awesome. I will check out that website...
Maureen!! I totally agree with you. I have spent way too much money on this to give up now (and am continuing to spend money with this injury).
I went to the Orthopedic Dr. yesterday! He says I have Plantar Fasciitis! I figured as much. I guess I was pre-disposed to it after that injury I had 5 years ago (which likely affected my Plantar Fascia, leaving it prone to re-injury).
I was expecting to be given arch supports since it is my arch that is hurting so bad, but they gave me Spanco inserts (which, granted, do have some arch support in them), and added a slab of outer foot support all along the outer edge! I was very confused by that... But, I am going to wear them religously for the next three weeks and see how it goes. If they don't help I will go back.
The thing is, I am really not sure when I should start easing back into running again. The doctor just said to "take it slow"... well what the heck does that mean?! That isn't very specific! But, I think I will start going for 30 min walks 4 times a week or so... and when my feet stop hurting while I walk, maybe I will ease into running from there? Idk.
And for the record, I still haven't finished the C25k!!! I finished week 8 and that is when my foot started really going crazy.
I finally made it home for R&R after three days of travelling, but I've already increased my running time while on R&R by 300%. Every other time I've come home I've been somewhere in the middle of c25k but just never managed to keep it up. I can also add Kuwait to the list of places where I've run now. I was stuck overnight but I wanted to try and make the best of it so I went up to the gym tents and did my 2 miles on the treadmill and then headed to the weight tent. So far since I've gotten home my wife and I went up to the gym one day and I did 2 miles on the treadmill again. Today was kind of crappy out but I managed to get out and run a couple, although I somehow managed to lay out a route that had a huge hill in it.
I was on meetup once upon a time when I was living in Louisville and was able to find a softball team to pick up some playing time so it defnitely works. I just jumped on there a few minutes ago to see if that was the same website I thought it was and there were a ton of things on there for Cincinnati so I may have to check out some of the stuff around here.
Glad there are some people who are able to get out there and run. My Mom had just gotten home an gotten comfortable, and then ended up going back to the ER last night with an infection under the insision of her spinal fusion and a fracture under one screw so it is back to the operating table for her and we start all over again. Someday I will get back out there again. Totally agree I spent too much to let it go. Tonight was supose to be our last C25K class and I was really looking forward to it, sad i will miss it.
Keep moving everyone!
Where did everybody go? I hope everyone is still running. The holidays and the earlier sunsets make it difficult to run. Not to mention the mucky wet weather. I've been running but not as diligently as I was before. I ran last sunday (12/9) and then didn't run again until Monday night (12/17). It was an ok run. My pace was awful - 13.45 or something but I was indoors. I don't care for indoor running. I have yet to run on a treadmill as there is a track inside the gym I use.
Well, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and I hope Santa brings everyone something fun to use for running! I plan to register for 5K's as they come available throughout the year. Maybe even a 10K or half marathon by years end! woo hoo! that would be something!
Keep on running!
Wow, that was awful. I'm back in the 'Stan after my R&R and went for my first run this morning. The first 50-100 yards were great and then it all went downhill. I made it about 1.25 miles in and finally had to walk for a little bit before I could finish it out, although, it was only about 50 yards or so until I could catch my breath. The last time I really ran was over a week ago while I was still home, but I think the biggest issue was just being back at high altitude. I had a serious side cramp going and felt really out of breath, but I've only been back in country since Thursday so it will take a little while to get acclimated to being back at 5,000 ft.
