The Universal Technical Institute (UTI) prides itself in providing tomorrow's auto mechanics with a comprehensive technician education that will prepare them for an exciting career future in a dynamic industry. Students interested in an automotive technology education may wish to learn more about UTI, which offers a variety of near year-long programs as well as specialized manufacturer training. With locations across the nation, UTI provides campus-based technical career training, including automotive, diesel and collision repair education. Classroom instruction, hands-on lab work and real-world skills are common to each program and enable students to learn about the computer, diagnostic and technical skills that are now so integral to vehicle repair and maintenance.
By teaming up with more than 30 different manufacturer brands, such as Snap-on, UTI strives to provide students with the kinds of tools and diagnostic equipment that are used in real-world settings. UTI's instructors also have practical experience, and are either certified of credentialed in their technical fields. UTI has been offering educational programs for more than 45 years and graduated approximately 160,000 technicians.
Once students have completed their education, they should be prepared to seek National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification. They may also be able to substitute some of their school training to meet the work experience requirements necessary for this certification. They may additionally be able to seek supplemental credentialing or certification from other organizations to show further proof of their skills.
Automotive Technology Training Programs
Six main programs of study are available through UTI, most of which can be completed in about a year. These programs include:
Automotive: This 51-week program explores how to diagnose, maintain and fix vehicles, including both domestic and foreign types. Students learn to use diagnostic equipment, such as handheld analyzers, to find and pinpoint problems. The program is composed of nine courses, including Brakes; Climate Control; and Power & Performance.
Collision Repair: Students in this 51-week program can learn about custom paint fundamentals, the drive train and related systems, and structural damage analysis. Seven courses comprise this program, including Finish Applications; Power Systems & Controls; and Structural Alignment and Replacement.
Diesel: In this 45-week program, students learn how to work on diesel-operated vehicles, ranging from semi trailers to farm equipment and oil rigs, and made by manufacturers such as Caterpillar and Cummins. The nine classes in the program include Diesel Fuel Systems; Hydraulic Applications; and Transport Refrigeration.
Marine: In this 51-week program, students work on both inboard gas and diesel engines as well as outboard 2-stroke and 4-stroke motors, made by manufacturers that include Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and others. This 13-course program includes classes such as Fuel & Lubrication Systems; Lower Units/Outdrives; and Rigging.
Motorcycle: Students in this 48- to 102-week program explore engine troubleshooting and diagnosis, performance testing and motorcycle theory. When the core training on dirt bikes, sport bikes and street bikes is complete, students can expand their work skills to include ATVs, generators, and snowmobiles. Twelve courses comprise this program, including Motorcycle Theory 1 & 2; Driveability/Performance Testing; and Suspension & Chassis Systems.
NASCAR: In this NASCAR-endorsed program, students learn to work on a variety of vehicles. A 15-week program provides students with courses specific to NASCAR training, ranging from fabrication and welding to pit crew fundamentals. The seven courses in this program include NASCAR Chassis Applications; NASCAR Pit Crew; and NASCAR Finish Fabrication.
Manufacturer Training
Additionally, more than 35 manufacturer training programs are available through the UTI School of Auto Mechanics in the areas of automotive, diesel, collision repair, motorcycle and marine. Although not comprehensive by any means, some of the offered training programs include:
- BMW FastTrack
- BMW Motorrad
- Cummins- Power Tech
- I-Car
- GM Tech
- Peterbilt
- Volvo-SAFE
- Ford Accelerated Credential Training (FACT)
- Nissan Advanced Technician Training (NATT)
- Toyota Professional Automotive Training
Student Services at UTI
Students can find a variety of services offered through UTI. These include disability services, employment services, financial aid, a Student Excellence Program that offers a discount on Snap-on tools, and a $1,000 gift of Snap-on tools upon graduation to qualified students. Scholarships may also be available to qualified UTI students who apply. According to the UTI website, the school itself provided more than $13 million in scholarship funding in 2012.
Campus Locations
Students interested in a specific UTI campus can take a virtual campus online, through the main school website. This can allow them to find out more about the location of the school, programs offered there, and even "meet" instructors or hear testimonial of graduates.
There are 10 campus locations across the U.S., but select automotive programs are only offered at some campuses, so students may want to call or visit the school's website to find out more information. The campus locations include:
- Exton, Penn.
- Houston
- Dallas/Forth Worth
- Lisle, Ill.
- Mooresville, N.C.
- Norwood, Mass.
- Orlando
- Phoenix
- Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
- Sacramento
Students wanting to enroll at UTI do need to have a high-school diploma or GED to be eligible to apply.
UTI also partners with the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing to create the first ever NASCAR school - The NASCAR Technical Institute. See also UTI's Audi Technician program, Porsche Technology Apprenticeship Program.

NYU's Estreicher: Allow Students to Sit for Bar After Two Years of Law School
We've touched on this idea before, but here is Samuel Estreicher's take:
This paper argues for a revision of the rules of the New York Court of Appeals to allow students to sit for the bar after two years of law school classes. This revision, reflecting what the rule had been when both Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Associate Justice Benjamin Cardozo attended Columbia Law School, would cut the costs of legal education for many students by 1/3, hence addressing in part the concern that law school debt drives down the availability of public service lawyers. Moreover, such a move would put pressure on law schools to deliver educational services more attuned to the practical needs of their students in order to secure their enrollment for the third year. This is a matter of considerable importance at a time many law schools place fewer than half of their graduates in full-time positions requiring legal training. Although the proposal does not address what law schools do or should do, reducing the law school study requirement for bar eligibility from three to two years may encourage some law schools within New York to embrace a more professional than rather purely academic orientation that should in turn lead to enhanced skills trainingf or students likely to be practising on their own or in small firms not capable of providing sustained training. A better trained solo or small-firm practitioner will better serve the legal needs of Americans of average means.

More on OUP Journals and Westlaw
I see Dan Filler, independently, picked up the story about the removal of most OUP journals from Westlaw. As it happens, I was corresponding with Rhodri Jackson at OUP about this issue, and was invited to share the following information and explanation:
The central fact of Daniel Sokol's piece, that we have pulled some journals from Westlaw, is correct. This happened as of August 1, 2012, and was announced here:
There are some things we would correct or add to in Daniel's post. Firstly, European Journal of International Law, Reports of Patent, Design and Trade Mark Cases, and Industrial Law Journal remain in Westlaw.
Secondly, many of the journals Daniel lists were never in Westlaw in the first place, and many are not in Westlaw OR Lexis now. I've listed the actual titles removed from Westlaw at the bottom of this email. All our titles remain in the LJI (Legal Journals Index).
Thirdly, re the W&L rankings, whilst Daniel is correct that the W&L rankings are based on Westlaw, it is unlikely removal from Westlaw will have any discernible impact on a journal's ranking. Citations to journals are pulled from Westlaw – so OUP journals would only fall in those rankings if they received a significant proportion of their citations from one of the removed titles. W&L will still pull citations to OUP journals in other publications in Westlaw's databases.
More generally, it's never quite as straightforward as us taking a decision that affects all our journals. We have standard policies but the final decision on appropriate licensing is taken on a journal by journal basis.
Hopefully that helps clarify. As to why - we took the decision to take journals out of Westlaw because we have agreed a preferred licensing partnership deal with Lexis Nexis. We continually evaluate which services are the best fit for our titles, and at present Lexis' global reach and commitment to working with us to disseminate our content (including new journals) stands out. Usage of the journals within Westlaw was very low, and runs somewhat counter to the dire warnings regarding discoverability which Daniel makes.
We're very keen to ensure that all our journals are discoverable and citable, and we do appreciate that some scholars and practitioners use Westlaw and the JLR. We are working with Lexis to make our journals as visible and easy to find within their database as possible. It's also worth noting that the primary method of delivery for all our journals is of course through our own site http://www.oxfordjournals.org/subject/law/index.html. We have licensing agreements with multiple providers including Lexis, Westlaw, Hein, and EBSCO, but usage of the journals at all of those venues is dwarfed by that at Oxford.
I hope that helps clarify, but if you have follow up questions we'll be happy to answer
Titles Removed from Westlaw as of 1 August 2012
British Journal of Criminology
Human Rights Law Review
International Journal of Constitutional Law
International Journal of Law and
Information Technology
International Journal of Law, Policy and
the Family
International Journal of Refugee Law
Journal of Competition Law & Economics
Journal of Conflict and Security Law
Journal of Environmental Law
Journal of International Criminal Justice
Journal of International Dispute Settlement
Journal of International Economic Law
Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization
Journal of Refugee Studies
Law, Probability and Risk
Medical Law Review
Oxford Journal of Legal Studies
Statute Law Review
This is useful information, and it's certainly right that the effect on any kind of "citation" rankings will be minimal. On the other hand, this move is not without costs for US-based legal scholars, who overwhelmingly do their research on-line and some of whom (I'm one of them) never use Lexis anymore (I don't even know my Lexis password, it's been so many years!). Scholarship that isn't in the Westlaw database is going to be missed by some non-trivial number of researchers. That's unfortunate indeed, and may well give some pause about submitting to these journals. (As a sidenote, the W&L journal rankings are pretty worthless, I'm surprised to learn anyone is looking at them.)
Thoughts from readers? Comments must have a full name in the signature line and a valid e-mail address, or they won't see the light of day.

OUP Journals Dump Westlaw
Danny Sokol reports on this news. This will have some (limited) implications for citation counts generated using Westlaw. On the other hand, Oxford University Press journals will still be available on Lexis - and notwithstanding concerns from Paul Horwitz over at Prawfs, it's really pretty simple to search there too. Compared to the effort required in many other disciplines - to say nothing of research in the stone age of the 1980's and earlier - this is a minor annoyance. Apparently, Westlaw doesn't think OUP journals are worth the money. If this gives Lexis a crucial edge...I say, kudos to Lexis.

Penn State Receives Accreditation Warning From Middle States
We learned yesterday that, on August 6, the Executive Committee of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education acted "to warn the institution [Penn State] that its accreditation is in jeopardy based on information contained in the institutionally commissioned Report of the Special Investigative Counsel." Although it seems utterly unimaginable that Middle States will actually strip Penn State's accreditation, this is very serious business - since the school would then become ineligible for federal research or student aid money.
The letter from Middle States is here.

More on the Saint Louis Decanal Crisis
It even made it to the pages of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, and includes a striking comment from Interim Dean Keefe:
"One of the biggest problems is this ridiculous concern from law schools about how they've been rated by U.S. News and World Report," he said. "Since when has a weekly news magazine become the Quran of law schools?"
There's an answer, of course: namely, that newspapers and even local TV stations report movements in the rankings as though they are news, with the result that prospective students and alumni then assume that the rankings mean something. One can agree with the Interim Dean that this is a crazy state of affairs, but even he should note that stories about this crisis mention the U.S. News ranking as pertinent "information." Interim Dean Keefe does have the advantage that if the law school's rank declines further, he'll be back in full-time practice. But his successor will have to live with the consequences.

SLU, Another Update--the Faculty Perspective
A faculty member at SLU writes: "The theme of yesterday's emergency faculty meeting was one of sadness and dispiritment, especially as we learned how [University President] Biondi's theft of funds from the Law School (including perhaps a noted alum's estate-gift to the Law School) will impact the funding of student activities in this year and years forward. For example, it looks like there may not be funds available for student travel (e.g. moot court), student-coordinated and student-oriented legal conferences, and also the research activities of our very strong faculty."
The more I hear, the more it seems Biondi is another Silber, i.e., an autocrat, but with even less of a sense of academic values than Silber had.

Declining Enrollments and Credentials at Law Schools
A very useful (and sobering) analysis of what's been going on since 2010; some excerpts:
ENROLLMENT IN DECLINE – Between 2010 and 2011, 141 law schools had a decline in enrollment (of which 63 had a decline of 10% or more), 30 had an increase in enrollment (of which 6 had an increase of 10% or more), and 26 had flat enrollment (within +/- 1% of 2010 enrollment). This means over 70% of schools had a decline in enrollment and that nearly one-third had a decline in enrollment of 10% or more....
ENROLLMENT AND PROFILES IN DECLINE – Most significantly, 75 schools (roughly 38%) saw declines in enrollment and in their LSAT/GPA profiles, of which 37 schools saw declines in enrollment of greater than 10% and saw declines in their LSAT/GPA profiles....Four of the schools are ranked in the top-50, while the other 33 schools are relatively evenly divided between the second-50, the third-45 and the alphabetical schools....
FORECAST FOR 2012-- Given that LSAC has estimated a decline of roughly 14.4% in the number of applicants for fall 2012, from 78500 to roughly 67000, and given that the decline has been greatest among those with higher LSAT scores, one should anticipate further declines in enrollment and further erosion of entering class LSAT/GPA profiles for fall 2012....
IMPACT FELT ACROSS THE RANKINGS CONTINUUM, BUT WORSE FOR LOWER-RANKED SCHOOLS...-Among the top 100 schools, 55 schools (over one-half) had a decline in profile, while 67 (two-thirds) had a decline in enrollment, with 27 experiencing a decline in enrollment of 10% or more....Overall enrollment was down roughly 6%.
Across the bottom 97 schools then, 56 saw a decline in profile while 74 (more than three-quarters) saw a decline in enrollment, of which 36 (nearly 40%) saw a decline in enrollment of 10% or more. Notably 40 schools saw a decline in enrollment and a decline in profile, of which 22 saw a decline in enrollment of 10% or more and a decline in profile. Overall, enrollment was down nearly 10%.

More on the crisis at SLU
A faculty member there writes: "We're going into an emergency faculty meeting today, and don't know what the result will be, but here's the latest,including the new 'dean's' insults towards our outgoing dean (who was beloved and admired by many)." The link suggests that the President had planned to fire the outgoing Dean. The new Interim Dean, a practitioner, self-describes himself as "nuttier than a fruitcake." A natural choice!
UPDATE: A reader writes:
You missed the new dean's key qualification: "Keefe, a 1978 graduate of the law school, and a personal injury attorney in Belleville, Ill. says it's 'not in his DNA' to say no to a Jesuit priest." Sounds like the President got his perfect candidate.
ANOTHER: This story gets worse, and in a way that suggests the University President is, indeed, the source of the problem. This article reports that the President has chosen not only a non-academic "yes man' to be Interim Dean, a man who self-describes as a "nut," but one who plans to keep practicing law--in other words, he will be a part-time Interim Dean. SLU, as faculty will know, has done a lot of good hiring the last few years, and I expect a lot of the younger faculty, as well as the well-known senior faculty, will be heading out the door. This actually seems worse than the DePaul situation of a couple of years ago. About the only thing that may save SLU at this point is the tight market for faculty hires due to the general economic situation. Even so....

Hmmm, well I guess there was a coup in the making and its occurred.
Well, I don't think that this bodes well for X. I have a lot of confidence
in Keith Packard but I don't have mucn confidence in the Linux/GPL community
(which appears poised to control X). I'm sure the next thing to occur will be
the demand to place X under a GPL license which will leave the BSD community
in a bad position.

Friends, what have we done to deserve such greatness as this, the possibility of a naked Kate Upton? How have we mortals earned such a magnificent gift? I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that Kate Upton said that she might pose for Playboy, and I also know that that means it's time to freak out HARD:
"I never like to say never because there are circumstances that I could do pretty much anything if it inspires me and if I think that it's cool at the time. But right now, at this point in my career, I'm not doing Playboy."
That is all we need, Kate. We don't need you to do it now. We don't need you to do it tomorrow. Honestly, we don't need you to ever do it, not if you don't want to. We just need to know that it's a possibility. We need to have that hope that it could happen, that dreams could come true and miracles could happen. Really, that's all we need in this world.

In yet another hodge-podge of Bush administration disinformation passed-off as 'independent editorial writing' an un-named author in last week's Washington Post (Friday, August 17, 2007; A22) follows his/her master's bidding with the usual plethora of ill-informed conjecture and ignorance of the Truth...
The Venezuelan businessman told inspectors there was nothing but books and papers in his suitcase. So imagine everyone's surprise when Argentine customs officers opened the suitcase — and found $800,000 in cash. The origin and destination of this money, which was being taken to Buenos Aires on August 4, shortly before a state visit by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, is now the hottest mystery in South America. But what is clear is that the cash-filled suitcase is an apt metaphor for the way Mr. Chavez has been using petrodollars to build an anti-American network that includes the leaders of Cuba, Bolivia and perhaps Nicaragua.For obvious Bush-inspired reasons, the WP author jumps immediately to the conclusion that the "Venezuelan businessman" is somehow connected directly with President Hugo Chavez before launching into the traditional spewing of bile against Venezuela's democratically elected government and its President, elected by an overwhelming majority of Venezuelans. The only metaphor in the conjecture is BS since its equally clear to conjecture that the "Venezuelan businessman" is factually a "Miami-resident" which is usually synonymous with 'born again' anti-Venezuelan, anti-Chavez, anti-Castro mafia types that populate the US peninsula.
Mr. Chavez seized the moment to unveil a long-awaited package of constitutional "reforms." As you might expect, they are self-aggrandizing and threatening to what is left of democracy in Venezuela. They would extend the presidential term and abolish term limits so that Mr. Chavez could get himself reelected every seven years, starting when his current six-year term expires in 2012. His last opponent for the presidency was a state governor; the proposed changes would weaken governors and mayors. Most menacing, Mr. Chavez wants to establish a "popular militia" alongside the regular armed forces. Perhaps this new force is the intended recipient of the 5,000 sniper rifles Mr. Chavez has just purchased from Russia.
This latest power grab is of a piece with other measures taken by Mr. Chavez since his reelection to a third term in December. He has been undermining existing governmental structures by channeling public works and welfare funds through "communal councils" under his control, a process he promises to accelerate under the revised constitution. He has nationalized telecommunications, electricity and oil enterprises and established a new socialist political party. He has forced an independent television channel off the air while plastering the public spaces of Venezuela with his own smiling portrait.
In short, Mr. Chavez's "21st-century socialism" looks depressingly like the 20th-century version: a bloated, repressive state headed by a hectoring strongman. Mr. Chavez has adjusted the model by adding certain methods of Middle Eastern petro-states, such as the use of cash to purchase popular support, or quiescence, at home — and to buy allies abroad. Mr. Chavez's mentor, Fidel Castro, stumbled on the road to socialism for want of hard currency; Mr. Chavez can pump dollars out of the ground.
Though corrupt and corrupting, both for Venezuela and the hemisphere, Mr. Chavez's militaristic formula is undeniably potent, and no doubt he relishes demonstrating its power in polarizing combat with the weakening Venezuelan opposition. Hence the launch of yet another constitutional crusade. Since the opposition unwisely boycotted the past election, the entire National Assembly supports Mr. Chavez and is likely to approve his plan. The next step would be a national referendum this year, which might be Venezuela's last chance to prevent Mr. Chavez from setting himself up as President for life.
Why on earth the Constitutional "reforms" should be surrounded by quotation marks is an obvious clue to the motivation for the editorialist along with the usual North American paranoia of "anti-American"-isms a.k.a. sinister 'commies' under the bed.
Certainly one can understand and even sympathize with the USA population's fear factor at the prospect of a future George W. Bush clone being able to squat the White House for eternity, but the editorialist obviously doesn't understand that the reform/amendment proposal to the 1999 Constitution of the Republic of Venezuela simply means that the incumbent could/should be re-elected continuously by a clear majority of the electorate who will obviously base their voting decisions on the encumbent's performance not only in the lead-up to any election but with regard to the half-way possibility that s/he can be kicked out of office by a majority vote in a populat referendum — so what's the beef?
The editorialist spouting off on the subject of militias draw a cynical guffaw considering the proliferation of the same across the United States of America never mind the legions of young US citizens dragged out of college education to go shed their blood in a fruitless war for Halliburton half way around the world. As for Venezuela buying arms with which to defend itself against the Bush-maniac aggressor, hell, was it scorn that hath no fury in a woman or is it the other way round in this Quixotic situation where the world's foremost aggressor actually demonizes Venezuela for wanting to defend its own national sovereignty against even more swashbuckling invaders from the North. They got rid of the Spanish two hundred years ago, why should they subject themselves to slavery all over again?
Then there's Chavez' alleged "power grab" which is truly funny seen against the Bush mafia's own power grabbing around the world. The editorialist fails to understand that what Chavez is already accomplishing is the "imposition" ??? of Democracy such as Wshington Avenue has never known. He's devolving power back to the people in the same way and at the same pace as the Bush dictatorship is robbing US citizens of the same. Come on, Get a life WP!
Get over the fact that Fidel Castro Ruiz is a thorn in your flesh — Cuba is only an island south of the Florida Keys and United States reliance on the exile Cuban mafia bleating for blood and the return of their corrupt and ill-gotten "possessions" in Cuba is only another expression of everything that's gone wrong in the once-proud and respected United States of America.
On a final note, the unnamed Washington Post editorialist should at least have the courage to give his/her name and face the public he/she apparently wants to convince that Chavez is a commie dictator of the worst ilk ... and failing that he/she should buy a mirror and not view the world through Alice in Wonderland's Looking Glass. Perhaps the shock would be too great for the editorialist to actually see his/her own face reflected in the awful reality of what the United States of America has itself become...

I complete agree wiv ur analysis. America loves judging others without lookin at itself. It is apparently exporting its version of 'Democracy' to countries if it likes it or not. ITs version is the rich make the rules and the rich can break the rules. Everyone has forgotten as well that George Bush didnt win the election in 2000!!
a guest said:
good article
Venezuelan bourgeoisie nationals who obviously had the capital to escaped Hugo Chavez's socialist party, who now live in any developed state seem to contradict themselves when constantly down-grading poor old Hugo.
Fact; Industrial developed nations have commited Crimes Against Humanity against any developing country who submits to them and it is those down-grading cowards who seem to forget that to easily.

Who do you think you're fooling?
Come on! Only the Commie wannabees actually believe anything that comes out of Chavez' mouth.
Of course Chavez was sending money to Argentina. It's just like everybody knows he's been buying off elections in Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico. Everywhere the guy opens one of those "ALBA" offices, you might as well put up a sign for the KGB.
Just like it's been documented that Castro lied to the Cubans about his plans for Communism and a Stalinist state, Chavez is doing the exact same thing.
Same for expropriations... Castro lied to the Cubans, just like Chavez is lieing to the people of Venezuela now. Anyone with money or property, that has any sense, should head for Miami before it's too late.
Chavez has never had an original thought. God forbid that Castro actually pass away because the puppet of S. America (aka Chavez: "I want to be a real boy.") will have to try to figure out what to do next on his own!
Viva La Revolution!

I respect Chavez for disallowing American oil corporations for paying poor prices for a barrel of oil and this is why American government has been so critical of Hugo Chaves. Paying a better price for a barrel will help no ends to Venezuelan economy/infrastructure and the people, and yes maybe more in the government's back pocket, but hey coruption happens in the USA more than anywhere.
Yes go run to Miami and maybe join the US army and blow up some innocent civilians in Iraq so the US government can plunder recources all over the world which they use as their war on terror as a cover for their real intentions.
This argument is not about Hugo Chaves its about oil and if you don't realise that, your head will always be stuck in the sand.

Sanger Sequencing Data Analysis
After electrophoresis, Data Collection software creates a sample file of the raw Sanger sequencing data. Using downstream software applications, further data analysis is required to translate the collected color-data images into the corresponding nucleotide bases.
Sanger sequencing primary analysis
The primary data analysis tools convert the images gathered during Data Collection into all four colors, representing the four corresponding nucleotide bases (Figure 1). For example, our sequencing analysis software is a primary analysis tool that must be used after collection is completed. The sequencing analysis software application allows users to basecall and re-basecall, trim data ends, display, edit and print sample files. Primary data analysis software processes your raw sequence data in an *.ab1 file using algorithms and applies the following analysis settings to the results:
- Basecalling
The selected basecaller processes the fluorescence signals, then assigns a base to each peak (A, C, G, T, or N). If the KB™ basecaller is used, it also provides per-base quality value predictions, optional mixed base calling, and automatic identification of failed samples (Figure 1).
- Mobility Shift Correction
The mobility file compensates for the change in DNA fragment mobility caused by the dye molecule attached to the DNA fragment and changes the color designation of bases depending on the type of chemistry used to label the DNA.
- Quality Value (QV)
If the KB basecaller is used for sequencing data analysis, the software assigns a QV for each base. The QV predicts the probability of a basecall error. For example, a QV of 20 predicts an error rate of 1%. The quality prediction algorithm is calibrated to return QVs that conform to the industry-standard relationship established by the Phred software. If your pipeline involves data analysis with Phred software to assign QVs after the data is basecalled, you can simplify your workflow and use the KB basecaller instead. The KB basecaller can perform basecalling and assign QVs. Then, you can generate *phd.1 or *.scf files using the KB basecaller to integrate with your downstream pipeline.
Sanger sequencing secondary analysis
These tools allow you to further refine your sequencing results. Algorithms in our secondary data analysis software products perform a number of functions supporting applications such as mutation detection and genotyping, and produce graphical outputs.

House of the Week: And the Winner Is…
Each week, WSJ readers vote for their favorite home that was featured as a House of the Day. Four properties vied for top billing in the latest poll, including Hollywood actress Mitzi Gaynor's longtime home and the former compound of Las Vegas crooner Wayne Newton. Watch the video above to see the results.
The contenders were:
The Home Mr. Vegas Built: The former estate of Wayne Newton includes eight homes, a decommissioned jet plane and an unfinished museum.
Animal Animation in California: A public relations executive moved his family—and their jungle-inspired entertainment room—to a new home in Los Angeles.
Renovation by Teamwork in Brooklyn: Renovating this late 19th century brownstone in Bedford-Stuyvesant was made possible with the help of friends and neighbors and by opening the home up to film and commercial shoots.
Tales of the South Pacific in Beverly Hills: Mitzi Gaynor, best known for her star-making performance in 'South Pacific,' is selling her Spanish-revival style home.

Things Fall Apart
by Chinua Achebe
Things Fall Apart Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #28
Now that he had time to think of it, his son's crime stood out in its stark enormity. To abandon the gods of one's father and go about with a lot of effeminate men clucking like old hens was the very depth of abomination. Suppose when he died all his male children decided to follow Nwoye's steps and abandon their ancestors. Okonkwo felt a cold shudder run through him at the terrible prospect, like the prospect of annihilation. (17.25)
Okonkwo considers the Christians effeminate because they preach and sing more than they take action. However, he sees how successful the missionaries' recruitment has been and he fears annihilation of his bloodline. But to Okonkwo, he sees annihilation as the loss of all of his male offspring; his daughters carrying his blood isn't enough for him.
Quote #29
Okonkwo was popularly called the 'Roaring Flame.' As he looked into the log fire he recalled the name. He was a flaming fire. How then could he have begotten a son like Nwoye, degenerate and effeminate? Perhaps he was not his son. No! he could not be. His wife had played him false. He would teach her! But Nwoye resembled his grandfather, Unoka, who was Okonkwo's father. He pushed the thought out of his mind. He, Okonkwo, was called a flaming fire. How could he have begotten a woman for a son? (17.26)
Okonkwo compares himself to a flame – a symbol of masculinity for its incessant movement, its virile heat, its flaming temper, and its destructiveness. He also equates cold dead ash with femininity. Okonkwo is extremely disappointed in Nwoye because he isn't fire-like – essentially, Okonkwo wants sons that are just like him. He's so disappointed in Nwoye that he goes so far as to think that maybe his wife slept with another man. It hurts Okonkwo's own sense of masculinity to see that his own progeny is not fire-like.
Quote #30
"Let us not reason like cowards," said Okonkwo. "If a man comes into my hut and defecates on the floor, what do I do? Do I shut my eyes? No! I take a stick and break his head. That is what a man does. These people are daily pouring filth over us, and Okeke says we should pretend not to see." Okonkwo made a sound full of disgust. This was a womanly clan, he thought. Such a thing could never happen in his fatherland, Umuofia. (18.22)
Okonkwo associates cowardice with femininity and thus calls the Mbanta tribe womanly for their refusal to violently resist the Christians. He equates action and violence with masculinity and his warlike Umuofia clan.

text: I learned about the Connecticut school shooting just as I stepped up to the podium to speak at a Harrison County school. The principal whispered in my ear that 26 had just been killed in an elementary school before she introduced my history program. I struggled to find my voice as I looked out at the faces of those young students, thinking but for the grace of God it could have been them or a school in Wood County or even my own two grandchildren in Texas. I, along with millions of Americans and probably most of you reading this letter, have shed more than one tear and felt such heartache as we learned the names and some little tidbit about those 20 beautiful little faces and heard the church bells toll once for every victim.

Novak Djokovic shows off his fried egg on the Australian Open court (@DjokerNole)
The blazing hot weather in Melbourne has dominated the headlines during the opening week of the Australian Open - and now defending champion Novak Djokovic has weighed in with a cheeky picture of an egg frying on the surface of one of the practice courts.
We're not entirely sure if the picture is for real - even internet know-it-alls disagree on whether it's possible or not - as scientists say surface temperatures have to reach an inhuamnly hot 70 celsius for an egg white to harden. While it's been hot Down Under, 45 degrees is as bad as its got - but some claim that the egg will cook anyway if the surface has got hot enough and the egg is left out for some time.
But whether Djokovic and his team fried the egg for real, or whether they just pinched a convincingly-half-cooked egg from the players' canteen, it still makes for a pretty awesome photo.
That's how hot it was. Thank you everybody for being so persistent and passionate about our sport. @ AustralianOpen pic.twitter.com/pc7hAUbHQm

Djokovic isn't the first to try the trick at the Australian Open: a photographer pulled out a pan and a couple of eggs and attempted to fry them on the boiling court on Thursday.
Photo from Twitter
Lucky for us, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was in a spirited mood after his second round win over Thomaz Bellucci and snapped this picture of the photographer attempting to make some breakfast inside the Hisense Arena.

The roof was actually closed at Hisense because of the ridiculous heat in Melbourne, but that didn't stop this guy from showing us exactly how hot it is on court for some of these players.
Friday looks like the last day temperatures will reach triple digits, with a serious cold front blowing through Melbourne after that to help cool off the courts and help the players survive these nasty conditions.

NYC marathon simulator...pit the winner vs. P. Diddy to see just how damn fast the elite runners are.
To drive the point home even further, I pitted P. Diddy against the winner of the M75 age group (I assume that's males, aged 75). They were neck and neck until the last few miles when the old guy pulled ahead and beat P. Diddy by about 8 minutes or so.
All is not lost...P. Diddy did beat the M90 winner handily.
What a fun application!
Creating the Battle of the Hubertuses was fun. Hubertus Kuehn torches the first half of the course while Hubertus Wachter stages an amazing comeback. Hubertus Koster and hubertus Klomps make interesting race competitors as well. Good work-time fun!
This is hours and hours of fun.

Russell, PB, Livingston, JM, Redemann, J, Schmid, B, Ramirez, SA, Eilers, J, Kahn, R, Chu, DA, Remer, L, Quinn, PK, Rood, MJ, Wang, W (2007). Multi-grid-cell validation of satellite aerosol property retrievals in INTEX/ITCT/ICARTT 2004. JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES, 112(D12), D12S09.
AbstractAerosol transport off the US Northeast coast during the Summer 2004 International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation ( ICARTT) Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment ( INTEX) and Intercontinental Transport and Chemical Transformation ( ITCT) experiments produced a wide range of aerosol types and aerosol optical depth ( AOD) values, often with strong horizontal AOD gradients. In these conditions we flew the 14-channel NASA Ames Airborne Tracking Sun photometer ( AATS) on a Jetstream 31 ( J31) aircraft. Legs flown at low altitude ( usually <= 100 m ASL) provided comparisons of AATS AOD spectra to retrievals for 90 grid cells of the satellite radiometers MODIS-Terra, MODIS-Aqua, and MISR, all over the ocean. Characterization of the retrieval environment was aided by using vertical profiles by the J31 ( showing aerosol vertical structure) and, on occasion, shipboard measurements of light scattering and absorption. AATS provides AOD at 13 wavelengths 1 from 354 to 2138 nm, spanning the range of aerosol retrieval wavelengths for MODIS over ocean ( 466-2119 nm) and MISR ( 446-866 nm). Midvisible AOD on low-altitude J31 legs in satellite grid cells ranged from 0.05 to 0.9, with horizontal gradients often in the range 0.05 to 0.13 per 10 km. When possible, we used ship measurements of humidified aerosol scattering and absorption to estimate AOD below the J31. In these cases, which had J31 altitudes 60-110 m ASL ( typical of J31 low-altitude transects), estimated midvisible AOD below the J31 ranged from 0.003 to 0.013, with mean 0.009 and standard deviation 0.003. These values averaged 6% of AOD above the J31. MISR-AATS comparisons on 29 July 2004 in 8 grid cells ( each similar to 17.6 km x 17.6 km) show that MISR versions 15 and 16 captured the AATS-measured AOD gradient ( correlation coefficient R-2 = 0.87 to 0.92), but the MISR gradient was somewhat weaker than the AATS gradient. The large AOD ( midvisible values up to similar to 0.9) and differing gradients in this case produced root-mean-square ( RMS) MISR-AATS AOD differences of 0.03 to 0.21 ( 9 to 31%). MISR V15 angstrom ngstrom exponent alpha ( = -dlnAOD/dln lambda) was closer to AATS than was MISR V16. MODIS-AATS AOD comparisons on 8 overpasses using 61 grid cells ( each nominally 10 km x 10 km) had R-2 x 0.97, with RMS AOD difference similar to 0.03 (similar to 20%). About 87% of the MODIS AOD retrievals differed from AATS values by less than the predicted MODIS over-ocean uncertainty, Delta(tau) = +/- 0.03 +/- 0.05 tau. In contrast to the small MODIS-AATS differences in AOD, MODIS-AATS differences in A ngstrom exponent a were large: RMS differences for alpha( 553, 855 nm) were 0.28 for MODIS-Terra and 0.64 for MODIS-Aqua; RMS differences for alpha( 855, 2119 nm) were larger still, 0.61 for MODIS-Terra and 1.14 for MODIS-Aqua. The largest MODIS-AATS A ngstrom exponent differences were associated with small AOD values, for which MODIS AOD relative uncertainty is large. Excluding cases with AOD( 855 nm) < 0.1 reduced MODIS-AATS a differences substantially. In one grid cell on 21 July 2004, smoke over cloud appeared to impair the MODIS-Aqua cloud mask, resulting in retrieved AODs that significantly exceeded AATS values. Experiments with extending MODIS retrievals into the glint mask yielded MODIS AODs consistently less than AATS AODs, especially at long wavelength, indicating that the current MODIS glint mask limits should not be reduced to the extent tried here. The sign of the AOD differences within the glint mask ( MODI AOD < AATS AOD) is consistent with ship-measured wind speeds there.

Sheriff Lupe Valdez hospitalized for back pain, fever
Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez was hospitalized last night for high fever and back pain, her reelection campaign manager said at a luncheon she was supposed to attend today.
Will Stovall said Valdez is "fine" and not in any serious condition. He said she isn't the kind of person who typically goes to the hospital and that she wanted to leave to attend a forum for sheriff candidates hosted today by the Dallas Public Affairs Luncheon Club.
Stovall said he advised her against checking out.
"She was in a hospital gown in a hospital bed," Stovall said.
Stovall said Valdez took his advice and remains in the hospital today. Stovall spoke for Valdez at the forum with her challenger in the Nov. 6 election, Kirk Launius.

KITTERY, Maine — A Portsmouth man with the distinction of having been arrested 153 times, was arrested again Monday night on a felony alleging the theft of beer.
Paul Baldwin, 49, who told police he lives on Brewster Street, was charged with theft and for outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court for theft, said Chief Ed Strong. Baldwin was taken into custody after surveillance images showed him stealing two 18-packs and a 12-pack of beer, Strong said.
He's being held in York County Jail because he was unable to post bail, and is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 9, according to the police chief.
In June 2009, Portsmouth police arrested Baldwin for the 153rd time, a week after he completed a one-year jail sentence for stealing a $1.99 can of beer.
During the arraignment for his 152nd arrest, Baldwin was held on $10,000 cash bail for stealing the can of beer and was described by then-prosecutor Corey MacDonald as "a leech on the resources of this community."
"I don't need a lawyer," Baldwin told Judge Sawako Gardner at the time. "I've been in this court more than you have."
MacDonald cited Baldwin's criminal history as including 152 arrests, eight trespass notices, 75 citations, four different Social Security number aliases and convictions for thefts, receiving stolen property, arson and criminal mischief.

Yesterday evening England beat Australia to cricket's Ashes once again. The epic five-match series, won by England with a game to spare, had turned many Twitter users into 140 character cricket commentators and statisticians.
Brands also got involved in the excitement. Investec, who are sponsoring the series, launched an @InvestecCricket Twitter account to talk about nothing but cricket, filling the timeline with reaction, stats, and pictures. Buxton, the official water supplier to the England Cricket Board, also got in on the act, using the #gotthebottle hashtag. They will be running a Twitter Q+A with victorious captain Alistair Cook.
Many of the England players have their own Twitter feeds, which they used to share their excitement at the victory. Jimmy Anderson tweeted the picture of the winning moment, which features him taking the match winning catch in the background:
The winning moment! What a day. @StuartBroad8 absolutely different class! pic.twitter.com/PYLBg4MpX1
— James Anderson (@JimmyAnderson9) August 12, 2013
New batsman Joe Root was somewhat less verbose, but no less enthusiastic, in showing his excitment:
Ashes baby! Woooooooow #5pmsomewhere
— Joe Root (@joeroot05) August 12, 2013
My personal favourite though comes from man of the match Stuart Broad, who, having taken 11 wickets in the match, tweeted this picture of him celebrating with teammates Jimmy Anderson, Tim Bresnan, and Matt Prior:
There was equal amounts of excitement on Facebook too. The England Cricket Board had produced visual content throughout the series to highlight key moments, and did so again when Ian Bell scored another century. The image was shared over 800 times, and liked over 6,000 times:
Even more social interactions came for a posting announcing the series clinching victory, with nearly 4,000 people sharing the post and accompanying image, and over 12,00 people liking it:
But what of the defeated Australians? Cricket Australia's Facebook page has decided to turn it's attention to the Women's Ashes, in which their team is proving to have more success. During the men's series they had also used Instagram to great effect, sharing behind the scenes pictures with their followers, and building the stream into their Facebook page. Cricket Australia had also used the clever #returntheurn hashtag on Twitter to rally their supporters.
With one more test match still to play, the women's series ongoing, and the return series in Australia starting in 100 days, there is a lot more social cricket to come!

Entrepreneur Alistair Croll Describes the 'Lean Analytics' Method
Posted on 02. Jun, 2013 by tobymorning in blog, Coworking, Developers, SOMA, Startups
For too long, entrepreneurs have launched new ideas with the assumption that "if you build it, they will come." However, the Information Age has flipped that concept on its head.
Today, strategists have a world of data at their fingertips. They don't have to just build something and hope customers respond. They can see in real time whether that market exists, as well as what they and their friends respond to most. Consequently, the successful businesses are those who pay attention to changes in customer behavior, then continually iterate their product or service to respond to those changes.
This concept formed the foundation of the Lean Startup movement – an idea popularized by famed Silicon Valley entrepreneur Eric Ries. In this video, Alistair Croll, Solve for Interesting founder and "Lean Analytics" author, explains how companies can leverage new technologies to find and use the data to support this startup process.
He suggests companies:
Pinpoint the business's most important metric for growth (e.g. revenue)
Identify the business model's riskiest aspect
Establish a Minimum Viable Product, or a strategy to test the risk against the growth metric
Analyze the results
Modify the business model based on the results
Repeat the process until you discover your market
Watch the video below to learn more about how companies such as Flickr, AirBnB.com and Twitter have successfully implemented this model.

Aquamanta Filters
Posted 15 December 2009 - 04:01 PM
I like the look of the EFX400 for my 240L tank. The layout looks good with water going down through a pipe to the bottom of the filter and then back up through the baskets. With my Fluval 305 there just seems to be too many obvious ways for water to bypass the media.
Would love to hear if anyone has experience of these filters yet as the price seems good too.
Posted 15 December 2009 - 05:20 PM
some of the filter media even fits into the aquamanta
so yeah they will work exactly like a tetratec
in maidenhead the price of the aquamanta is even cheaper than the fluval range, they're only exclusive to maindenhead to
Posted 15 December 2009 - 08:42 PM
On the other hand now i know this i've checked out the Tetratec EX1200 and its about £10 cheaper online than the Aquamanta for the equivalent size.
Posted 31 January 2010 - 06:24 PM
Posted 07 February 2010 - 06:01 PM
cheers steve
p.s Yes the tetratec 1200 is £10 cheaper but this filter has an extra 200lph flow rate which is what swerved me to it seeing i got some rather messy oscars lol!
Posted 07 February 2010 - 08:20 PM
just a question - the 200 comes with carbon which i don't really want, what are you guys gonna replace this with if you are at all?
Posted 07 February 2010 - 09:04 PM
Posted 07 February 2010 - 10:09 PM
Posted 08 February 2010 - 11:14 AM
Posted 08 February 2010 - 02:59 PM
Posted 08 February 2010 - 08:07 PM
you can add a phosphate remover pad which will help eliminate some algae from you tank =]
hmm good plan it has one in already but cant hurt for more, possibly that and some more ceramic media on top for bit more bacteria room? just dont wanna be replacing carbon all the time tbh lol
Posted 09 February 2010 - 10:18 AM
[possibly that and some more ceramic media on top for bit more bacteria room? just dont wanna be replacing carbon all the time tbh lol
just the ticket. carbon is best kept to remove meds.
Posted 09 February 2010 - 08:15 PM
just the ticket. carbon is best kept to remove meds.
good good will be doing that then
Posted 27 February 2010 - 09:52 PM
The EFX400 runs alongside a fluval 305 in a rio 180 which stocks Malawi Chiclids.
The filter works great turns the water over well, but i do find that it is much more noiser than my fluval or rena was and being it is set up in the lounge it can drive me crazy at times. Took the spay bar off it because it made a high pitched whineing noise.
Posted 04 October 2010 - 04:17 PM
do i have to keep the phosphate pad in or can i put some more sponges in its place?
Posted 06 April 2011 - 02:21 AM
I Recieved the aquamanta efx 400 as part of a package deal. i am finding that there is considerable media bypass to the extent that the spray bar is becoming blocked and the end cap keeps popping off!! I have even doubled up all the media and still it is not great. so i have brought an eheim am just waiting for it to be delivered!!

Goblin Market
by Christina Rossetti
Stanza 18 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 329-334
Laugh'd every goblin
When they spied her peeping:
Came towards her hobbling,
Flying, running, leaping,
Puffing and blowing,
Chuckling, clapping, crowing,
- The goblins are delighted to see a new customer. They see Lizzie looking at them near the brook, and come running over.
- Lines 331-334 are a list of "–ing" words describing all the various ways the goblins have of moving and making noise.
- Like the list of goblin fruits, and descriptions of individual goblins, the level of detail presented in list form is almost overwhelming.

Exeter/West Greenwich, which last winter captured its second Division II Championship in three years, will get a chance to defend its state title. In its final meet of the regular season, the Scarlet Knights fell to Warwick Vets, but defeated Mt. Hope and Portsmouth, finishing second to Vets in the Division II standings with a 7-3 record.
Senior Morgan Hart, who earned her second All-State selection last winter after placing third in the all-around, has contributed significantly to EWG's success.
"Morgan has had a good season so far," said Scarlet Knights coach Haley Call. "She is working hard to get all of her skills perfected for the final meets of the season and ultimately, the state meet. She is a consistent gymnast and someone that I can count on to finish strong, which is why all the girls look up to her."
Exeter/West Greenwich also returns senior Dominique Sepe, who has added "a lot of new skills and a new level of consistency," said Call.
Senior Amanda Houston, sophomores Haley Harrington, Hannah Tefft and Eden Francoeur "have been essential members of the team, as well," she added. "They all compete in every meet, and their scores contribute to the team's score every meet as well. I am very happy with all the girls' performances this season. The girls have been very consistent throughout the season and I expect that to continue."
