NIAGARA FALLS – The public has had a chance to pore over Mayor Paul A. Dyster's 2013 budget, and even with a New York Power Authority deal that would plug the budget hole, residents don't like what they see.
Packing Council Chambers on Tuesday night to protest proposed layoffs and an 8 percent tax hike, residents said the city's financial problems were caused by irresponsible spending and years of improperly balanced budgets.
Those failures, they said, need to be addressed now – without temporary funds from the Power Authority or Seneca Nation casino revenues that may never come.
"Enough with the overspending, enough with the high taxes, and enough with the irresponsibility," said resident Joe Swartz, who plans to run for City Council next year. "On behalf of the citizens of Niagara Falls, we've had enough, and it's time for a change."
Residents said more savings need to be found in Dyster's proposed $96 million budget before layoffs become a reality. They said excessive overtime pay, holiday pay and raises for exempt employees need to be scrutinized.
"They deserve it, but we're at a desperate point here," said Ron Anderluh, president of the Niagara Street Business & Professional Association. "How can they give out raises at this hand and then lay off people at this hand? We need a temporary freeze for hourly raises until we get this thing settled," he said, drawing applause.
More measures need to be exhausted before the administration comes to the public to propose a tax hike, others said, noting that much of the city's population depends on Social Security or public assistance.
"Everyone has got to have skin in this game, not just me where I'm expected to pay higher taxes," said resident Kathleen Lloyd. "That's not right. The audacity to come to the taxpayers for the irresponsible spending is unbelievable.
"Please fight for us," she urged the Council. "Fight for everybody like me, and everyone else in here who is just getting by. Learn to live within your means."
The public took issue with the idea that the budget crisis was caused solely by the state's dispute with the Seneca Nation of Indians, which has withheld about $60 million in revenues garnered from its downtown casino.
The Senecas have withheld the money because they feel the state violated its gambling exclusivity rights when it allowed racetrack casinos in Batavia, Hamburg and Canandaigua.
The city should have budgeted those revenues more conservatively, they said, and should not have used the money for operating expenses or large, multi-year projects.
"It's a percentage of money that you may get, so to ever consider that money as operating revenue, that's a little short-sighted," said resident Ed Battaglia. "What happens if the casino burns down tomorrow?"
They also said the city – which has spent down its surplus fund as it awaits an end to the casino dispute in arbitration – should not budget for casino revenues it doesn't have. Dyster has budgeted $7 million in expected revenue for next year.
"I'm a penny-pincher. I'm not about to spend something until I have the money, and I want you to treat our budget the same way," said resident Donald Supon. "Get the money first, then spend."
Most speakers also objected to the city's plan to accept more than $13 million in funds from the state Power Authority to close the budget gap. That money was designed to be paid out over a 50-year term for capital improvements, not used for operating expenses.
"That's like taking the seed corn from next year's crop and eating it now and having nothing for later," said Battaglia.
Dyster contends that the city budgeted conservatively enough to build up a $20 million surplus fund, which is now depleted, and that the main expense paid by the casino revenues each year is a more than $4 million debt payment on the city's police station – which was mandated by the state and decided before he took office. Otherwise, he said, the city has treated the revenues as "non-recurring."
The Council plans to make cuts to Dyster's budget, and leaders met with the mayor Wednesday afternoon to find a spending compromise. Council leaders expect an announcement on a potential deal next week.

Cobras and GT350 Mustangs may not be the most desirable vehicles for the snow, but when world-renowned race car driver and designer Carroll Shelby owned South Shore Motors in the 1960s, the high-powered sports cars held a permanent place on the showroom floor.
Today, the Ford Lincoln Mercury and Subaru dealership may not have the vintage roadsters on the lot, but having the original owner considered one of the best racers of all time is something its current management is proud of.
With the main floor under remodeling, the Ford dealership has remained at its original location past the "Y" for 32 years. And with only two other owners to its name, the dealership is still running smooth.
"Shelby needed a place to sell and service his product," said current owner Fred Streeter. "I used to work for Shelby and he would ship unused Mustang and Cobra parts to this location all the time from his manufacturing office in L.A. We had to throw them away because we were getting so many. I wish I still had them because they would be worth a lot now."
Originally known as Shelby Ford, the dealership was sold to Richard Anderson in 1976, who changed the name to Shelby-Stephens Ford on behalf of private interests. Streeter was good friends with Anderson and in 1983 took over the dealership based on a handshake with him and some intensive paperwork with Ford.
Having been friends with Shelby for many years, Streeter says the race car driver still frequents the dealership when he comes for a stay in his vacation home. A Subaru is even parked underneath the carport in case he pops in unexpectedly, which he is known to do, Streeter added.
Like Shelby, Streeter, too, is a car buff owning many Shelby classic Mustangs. At one point, he restored vintage cars on the side.
"The only car I have left in my collection is a Shelby Convertible," Streeter said. "I started out washing cars at a dealership and the rest, as they say, is history."
Streeter's love of the automobile led him to open his second dealership in Reno in 1990, Streeter Imports, a Mercedes/Nissan dealership.
Despite coming to his Tahoe office two to three times a week, Streeter believes the South Shore dealership is unique.
"We are soldiers of niceness here," laughed Streeter. "We have an excellent sales staff and community. We hope for a bright future and that redevelopment will revitalize us all."
By relying on repeat and referral business South Shore Motors strives to offer competitive prices to its local clientele.
"Everything west of the 'Y' is like a Bermuda Triangle - most people don't even know we're here," said Darren Pryor, finance manager.
Zak Salah, general manager, agreed.
"The community has been very good to us, but we are trying to get rid of the myth that things cost less in Reno and Sacramento," Salah said.
"We take care of our own."

4 Inexplicably Huge Internet Trends
#2. Why Is "Dog Head Tilt" a Sub Genre of YouTube?
This one's almost understandable. Dogs are the best. They're hilarious and adorable and stupid and perfect, and this one can climb mountains, and I love them very much. Everyone loves animal videos, and YouTube was practically designed to be the perfect destination, the number one stop for all of your stupid/cute/hilarious pet video needs. It's hard for me to be surprised by any popular sub genre of pet video, because everything pets do is great.
But then there are videos about head tilts. Head-tilting is a very common dog move. It's less of a trick and more of a "I'm a dog, and this is a thing that dogs do" type of thing. Every dog does it, and it's almost always adorable. Here's what happens if you search "Dog Head Tilt" on YouTube.
Again, I guess it's not that surprising that people wanted to share the video of their dogs doing awesome dog stuff, because you never know if a few dozen people might want to see- Holy SHIT does that first video have over 3 million views? And the others, tens and in some case hundreds of thousands of people? Huh.
But that's still not weird to me. It's not so weird that there are literally thousands of YouTube videos of dogs tilting their hands, and it's not so weird that millions of people watch almost every single one of them. But something is weird about this, to me. I realized it while watching the following video:
If you can't watch that video, I'll fill you in. It's a standard "Dog looks at camera and tilts head" video, and fits in snugly in the classic dog-head-tilt film genre. But, if you look closely, you might notice something.
No, I haven't placed any kind of "invasively adorable" filters on your computers. That head-tilting pit bull is covered in baby chickens. That's a very strange, totally awesome thing that the uploader in no way mentions in the video's title.
It's almost not even addressed in the video itself; the camerawoman eventually asks the dog if it wants to play with its chicks at the very end, only after ignoring the elephant in the room for three-fourths of the video. A video with the headline "Dog Relaxes with Tiny Baby Chickens" would have KILLED on the internet. Videos of two different animals--especially when those animals are being cute-- do insanely well on the internet, they're certainly more popular than videos of dogs tilting their heads.
Even though d'aaaawwww.
The fact that this video leads with the very dog-like head-tilting and not the distinctly undog-like chick-chilling means that the uploader wasn't trying to get a ton of views; they were just trying to fit into the thriving community of people who post videos of their dogs tilting their heads. Being one of the related videos for "Dog tilts head" was more important than calling attention to the objectively more interesting phenomenon of inter-species friendliness.
And I make no judgment on the existence of this community which is large enough at this point to raise its own army. No judgment at all. Unless- is "Why" a judgment? Because that's where I'm coming from. Why? Why?
#1. Why Is The Fuck Are Haul Videos A Thing?
Go to YouTube and search the word "Haul." You will see hundreds of videos with millions and millions of views that are called some variation of "My [Name of Store] Haul Video."
In Haul videos, someone, (always a chick, always between the ages of 16 and 25), tells you what they bought at a store, and why they bought it. (Most actually start off talking about Haul videos, whether they're explaining why they decided to do another Haul video or apologizing for not making enough Haul videos.) I want you to know that I'm not under-explaining this. There's nothing more to it. A woman looks directly into the camera and goes through their shopping bag, telling you why they bought the things that they bought.
She bought that at either the fudge or post-it note store, I'm not sure what it is.
Here's Sarah, telling the 25,000 people who watched her video what she bought at the grocery store.
She tells you how much the oatmeal cost, how many servings are in one container, how much fiber and protein it has, and why she likes it, (she likes oatmeal).
And there's Michelle talking about a dress with a cross design on it that she bought, and why she likes it so much, (it has a cross design on it).
And that's Dulce Candy talking about the makeup she bought. Dulce's video is like most of the others, (a recap of a fairly standard shopping experience stretched across 9-16 minutes), except that, at about three minutes in, she casually mentions the fact that she was in the military four years ago and then never brings it up again. To me, her history in the military sounds a whole lot more interesting than the hair brush she bought, but what do I know? After all, I'm not one of the 399,000 people that subscribe to her channel there are 399,000 people that subscribe to her channel!?
I really cannot figure out these videos. The vloggers, while all insanely popular, are not all doing this for money; Michelle's is a nonprofit channel and all of the money she makes in advertising goes straight to charity. These women aren't making Haul videos that teach you how to find the best deals on clothes or make up or oatmeal, so they're not exactly practical. And they're not telling you which designers to avoid, or which brands fall apart easily, so there are no lessons. And they're not showing off purchases that come from the fanciest, most expensive stores-- Hell, the veteran with the hairbrush was shopping at a CVS.
"I killed a guy with this. But that's boring, I'm sorry, I'm going to talk about lip gloss again."
There doesn't seem to be an agenda beyond "Hey everyone, here are some things I bought, here's what I was thinking when I bought them, and here's an ocean's worth of run-on sentences." And, again, I don't think that's wrong, or anything, I'm just shocked to find out that they've been hanging out at the same internet as me this entire time and I'm just noticing them now and will never understand them ever. For all I know, they feel the same way. Maybe they recently stumbled onto Cracked and were absolutely shocked to find out there was some site that does nothing but post articles full of dick jokes every single day. I guess what I'm trying to say is, People Who Find and Publish Pictures of Bleeding Nipples, Pet Owners Who Exclusively Post Videos of Dogs Tilting Their Heads, Obsessively Dedicated Christopher Meloni Fans/Stalkers, and Women Who Tell Other Women What They Bought- we're not all that different after all.
(But, yes, I still think you're all very weird.)
Daniel O'Brien is Cracked.com's Senior Writer (ladies), and yesterday he went to Target and bought bottled water, paper towels, and soap but he forgets what brand, (other ladies).

Capital One Bank $50 InterestPlus Online Savings Promotion
|Email Print
Capital One is offering a $50 bonus when you open an InterestPlus Online Savings account using the promotion code BANK223DF with at least $10,000 by January 15th, 2012. Capital One's online savings bank offers competitive rates compared to other online savings accounts, gives you a 10% quarterly bonus on your interest, and has no fees.
Here is some of the legalese:
You will receive a $50 bonus if you open a Capital One Bank InterestPlus Online Savings (IPOS) account online only, enter the offer code at the time of account opening, and have $10,000 or more on deposit on 1/15/2012. This account must be your first account with Capital One Bank. The deposit will be deposited into your account 4-8 weeks after 1/15/2012 and the account must be open at the time the bonus is credited. The bonus will be reflected on your monthly statement and will be included in your year-to-date interest and year end tax reporting. This offer cannot be combined with any other offers.
I opened one of these accounts under a similar Costco/Capital One promotion last year and have been happy with it. If you are a Costco member, especially an Executive member, then the Costco promotion is better. With an Executive membership you get $60 in bonus money ($20 for Gold and Business) plus a higher interest rate (0.91% vs 0.80% as of today). Finally, the minimum you need to deposit to get the rate and bonus is $5,000, not $10,000.{ 4 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

A testy exchange between an Ohio Board of Education member and state Auditor Dave Yost last week helped make it clear serious problems exist in some of the state's largest school systems.
Yost met with the board to discuss his office's investigation of scores of school districts suspected of doctoring enrollment statistics reported to the state. Doing so can make a district look better on state performance standards than actually is the case.
Among districts caught in questionable enrollment reporting practices were the big Columbus and Cleveland school systems. It was Yost's report on Cleveland schools that sparked a confrontation with state board member Mary Rose Oakar, who for many years represented Cleveland in Congress.
Oakar ''challenged the accuracy of Yost's findings against the Cleveland Public Schools - noting the totals were off by 14,000 students,'' the Associated Press reported.
Yost explained the discrepancy was because of a difference between data from the state Department of Education and the Cleveland school district. He said the numbers are being addressed.
Perhaps so, but a difference of 14,000 students between state and school district records sounds like a problem - and it isn't the fault of Yost's office.
Cleveland schools have many problems, including a graduation rate of just 56.1 percent. Instead of criticizing Yost, perhaps Oakar and the state board should be more concerned with why the local and state numbers don't match.

The latest scuffle over online privacy is brewing up in Georgia. An aggressive new law is set to take effect today which will force sex offenders to hand over their internet passwords, screen names, and e-mail addresses to the government for monitoring purposes. Several other states also have efforts that track sex offender's email and screen names. However, Georgia, which has 16,000 registered offenders, will be the first state to demand the sex offenders' passwords as well.
A similar law in Utah was already struck down by a federal judge, who ruled that it violated the privacy rights of an offender who challenged it. However, that ruling was rather narrow as it applied to an offender tried on a military conviction who had never been in Utah's court or prison system.
Critics of the Georgian law say that it not only violates the privacy rights of offenders, but it also places undue stress on the already tight-for-cash Georgian law enforcement. Sara Totonchi of the Atlanta-based Southern Center for Human Rights states, "There's certainly a privacy concern. This essentially will give law enforcement the ability to read e-mails between family members, between employers."
State Sen. Cecil Staton (R.) who wrote the bill argues that it is necessary to strip the rights of some citizens to protect the rights to life and liberty of others, particularly children. He states that the benefits of the bill, which will allow law enforcement to detect stalking by predators sooner "outweighs a lot of the rights of these individuals."
He states, "We limit where they can live, we make their information available on the Internet. To some degree, we do invade their privacy. But the feeling is, they have forfeited, to some degree, some privacy rights."
Most states do compromise sex offenders' privacy to some extent by making their addresses available online in registries. However, Georgia and Utah are the only states to propose legislation to take offenders passwords, according to civil rights researchers. Others argue the bill isn't tough enough. While the bill threatens violators with a possible return to prison, some believe this won't deter many.
Says State Sen. Staton, "My hunch is, where there's a will, there's a way. If people are intent on violating this law, there are many different ways. What's important is we have given law enforcement a tool."
One critical issue at stake with the Georgian law is lack of specificity. While the law is clearly meant to target offenders seeking to exploit children, it does not differentiate by crime. Thus those found guilty of underage consensual sex, public indecency, or other sex crimes will likely be forced to turn over their passwords as well, bringing into question whether the law is targeting who it intends to.
quote: Molesters of children who are convicted, and are obviously guilty (either by self admission or a ridiculous amount of irrefutable evidence) should be swiftly and brutally executed.
quote: Get real people. These are the worst kind of scum on the planet.
quote: Shows how liberal and gutless our society is when a comment like this gets downrated.
quote: Worse than mass murderers? Tortuous dictators that enslave entire societies? You have quite the warped world view my friend.
quote: Our justice system is meant to clean people up...
quote: Granted if they repeat offend then they are beyond our current scope of rehabilitation, so death would be the only logical choice as I stated previously.
quote: Move to one of the fabulous Middle Eastern countries, I'm sure they would go right along with you. Of course they will change the term rape to be OK as long as you are a man following some indoctrinated drivel, but you seem like the kind of fellow that is OK with that. By their standards, everyone is "liberal", you will feel right at home.
quote: Molesting a child is no different than raping an adult, it is merely rape, which is assault at best.

Here at Your Lowcountry, we see a lot of requests for contest entries and, normally, we pass them onto readers without comment.
But this particular contest struck a chord because it rewards young entrepreneurs and helps them build skills.
The Build-A-Bear Workshop is looking for Huggable Heroes, defined as young social entrepreneurs who are changing the world."
The Heroes program wants to make this 10th year special.
The program is looking for young people ages 8-18 who are making their world a better place.
Ten of these heroes will receive $12,200, which includes an educational scholarship, a donation to a charity of their choice and mentoring scholarship to support their charitable entrepreneurships.
The company also is joining forces with the prestigious Jefferson Awards for Public Service, one of the nation's top community service recognition programs founded 40 years ago by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
According to a press release from Build-A-Bear, the Jefferson Awards' Globechangers training and mentoring systems will help equip this newest generation of philanthropists with the tools it needs to build a lifetime of public service.
Each hero will be paired with a mentor through the Jefferson Awards system for a year to develop valuable skills for writing business plans, networking and fundraising.
Now, if you are a young entrepreneur, and we have written about an amazing number in our area in the past two years, this is an great opportunity.
Winners will benefit from some hands-on training by qualified people. There is no better way for a young person to learn than joining forces with those who have already done what they want to do.
I had a recent exchange of emails about this same topic with former state Rep. Jimmy Bailey, who now runs YESCarolina, the South Carolina organization dedicated to teaching youths the principles of entrepreneurship and free enterprise.
Both of us agree that learning these skills at an early age is fundamental to America's future. Not everyone is going to be able to go to college, especially with the increasing cost of higher education, but learning basic business skills can help anyone have a better life as an adult.
Bailey said he thinks that the education system as a whole doesn't understand this yet, but students do. Given the tools, young people can have great experiences that will show them business basics, whether they are going to be an employee all of their life, or want to build a business of their own.
That's why entering this contest seems like a great idea for some of you who are already experimenting with businesses.
Nominations will be accepted through the website buildabear.com/huggableheroes or by mail until Feb. 28.
And if you or someone you know happens to be one of the finalists, let us know and we will feature you in Your Lowcountry.

Octogenarian Boyd Lee Dunlop's piano playing encompasses a wide swath of American popular music, the same stuff that jazz musicians have been bending to their needs for nigh onto a century. Blues riffs and pop chestnuts were nestled next to bebop sensibilities and bawdy house roots. However, the difference between what Dunlop does with the material and how others treat the same tunes has a lot to do with his approach, one honed in near obscurity and finally released to a wider audience via his debut album last year.
That CD ("Boyd's Blues") and the ensuing concert received favorable coverage in the New York Times and other media outlets, while his coming-out party – aided by bassist Sabu Adeyola and drummer Virgil Day – was held at Babeville's Asbury Hall after the demand for tickets outstripped the capacity of the venue where it was originally scheduled.
"The Lake Reflections," Dunlop's current release, is a solo project and showcases the pianist's improvisatory skills even more than his trio date did.
This isn't to say his playing is flashy or technically astounding, but it does surprise with unconventional voicings that hint at possibilities others rarely explore.
Sunday afternoon's CD release party in Asbury Hall found him playing on the same stage he graced for his earlier performance and before a sizable crowd. Easels stationed near the front of the stage held enlarged photos of Lake Erie (shot by Brendan Bannon) in various states of wintery dress. It was these pictures which Boyd used as a jumping off point for improvisations on the new album and at the concert.
Snippets of "St. James Infirmary," "The Man I Love," "Summertime," "God Will Take Care of You," "Sweet Marie" and others surfaced throughout the short set, but it was how the pianist led into and out of the familiar melodies, slowly mutating chord progressions before unraveling them and heading back home, that caused listeners to marvel. His left hand would comp as the right searched out phrases, sometimes hitting what Henry Cowell used to call "tone clusters" and, at other times, poking the one note that would act as a pivot point for the next musical journey.
Each sonic slice – because it's difficult to call what he was playing "songs" – ended with him turning to the audience with palms facing upwards as if to say, "Wasn't this cool?" Then, often before people finished applauding, Dunlop would turn back to his instrument and head off into another musical excursion.
At times a yelp would escape his lips for reasons known only to him, but it could have been satisfaction with what he was doing or a pain that he was determined to soldier through.
Dunlop was visibly tired after nearly an hour's worth of playing, but he smiled as he stood up to leave the stage. He was saving energy to sign autographs and have pictures taken with his fans.

6 Bizarre Things That Make Your Memory Worse Than You Think
Memory is the Konami LaserScope to our Nintendo brain -- it has the potential to be awesome, yet turns out unwieldy and kind of retarded. Any time we try to use our internal Google, our mighty blob of think mulch turns into a grumpy gnome, running around the skull cavity and frantically digging in file cabinets for that ever-missing folder labeled "Where the hell did I put those [dress shoes/shot glasses/assless chaps]?"
Although the finer workings of our memory bones are still surprisingly ill-understood by brainologists, what they have managed to uncover so far indicates that our rememberin' bits are mainly held together with the neuropsychological equivalent of duct tape and a prayer.
On the bright side, this offers us plenty of scientific excuses for forgetting our cousin's birthday.
#6. Your Memory Depends on the Weather
kwasny221/iStock/Getty Images
There's a reason the ability to control weather is such a popular pop culture trope. It's just us wanting to get back at nature because, generally speaking, weather is bullshit. Rainstorms soak clothes and delay big games, tornadoes wreck houses, and unexpected heat waves play merry hell on our mud pit orgies. I don't even have to Google "freak hailstorms" to confidently state that they're the #1 cause of scrotal trauma in nudist colonies.
But the worst weather by far is the kind that gets in your head.
The weather that spin-kicks you in the head is a close second.
Some days it's difficult to remember things and you don't know why. Everything should be fine, yet your brain keeps making farty sounds when you try to remember where you put that winning lottery ticket. It's not your fault. It's just the goddamn weather playing you like a violin.
Louis-Leopold Boilly
Much like Y'Shoggo.
You know how people seem gloomier when the weather gets bad? Research suggests that your memory dislikes bad weather even more than your emotions, and it protests with a tendency to go offline whenever the skies go dark. It works the other way around, too: We seem to remember things better when the weather is nice ... at least for some of us. For multiple sclerosis patients, even cloudless skies are not safe: Hot weather can also be horribly bad for their memory.
And don't you just know that somewhere some dick who missed the "MS" part of that sentence is planning ways to play the "sunshine ruined my memory" card right now?

"Sorry, Aunt Sarah -- I would have loved to come to the funeral, but my brain just didn't let me."
#5. Your Memory Hates Numbers
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Let's say you have to make an important phone call.
You never remembered to save the number to your phone or ask for a business card, because for the purposes of this story you are a clueless idiot with all adult stuff. What you do have is a crumpled napkin. Shit, you haven't even bothered to write the number down with proper spacing -- all you have there is a long string of numbers.
That ridiculous, ridiculous thing has actually happened to me a couple of times, and I have never once managed to make those calls. To my brain, that long string of numbers might as well have been written in Morse code. By a toddler. That is an orangutan.
Eric Gevaert/Hemera/Getty Images
Nice job, asshole.
Luckily, this is not just me being a dumbass. Science says we all have the same problem.
Most people have a memory that hates numbers. They're the worst goddamn thing our brains have ever seen and, knowing our browser histories, rest assured that they have seen some shit. Unlike letters, numbers don't offer much context. You need to straight up memorize the fuckers, which takes up lots and lots of head space. If the brain isn't careful, it will soon be filled with strings of numbers just zipping around like a big multiplayer game of Snake.
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
"Please stop attempting to explain neuropsychology in video game terms."
Luckily, the brain has devised a way to deal with the issue. It commits numbers to memory by quickly vomiting them in small blocks, screaming obscenities with every neuron as it does. If the number in question is one you need often, like a family member's phone number or your own Social Security Number, the blocks will get bigger with time, until you're eventually able to memorize the whole thing like it was a word. This phenomenon is called chunking.
Chun King
The only psychological phenomenon named after a mildly racist snack.
Chunking is the very reason Social Security Numbers, pin codes, and phone numbers are shaped the way they are. Those small blocks of three to five digits are the only way the short term memories of most people are equipped to deal with numbers. It's so official, even the government has come up with ways to work around our stupidity.
#4. Overloading Your Memory Can Wreck Your Impulse Control
Holly Kuchera/iStock/Getty Images
If you're anything like me, large projects that involve lots of studying and memorizing like presentations and tests are poison for your impulse control. I'm not saying I can't hold my own against deadlines -- on the contrary, I've found they respond very well to chin locks. But there's no easier time to let out a bellowing "Fuck yeah!" at the first person offering you a beer than when your brain has been sweating study-blood all day. And then, 10 hours later, you wake up in a bathtub full of ice in Nevada. Now you have to finish your important presentation while trying to figure out what happened last night and locate your missing kidney.
(I'm not saying that last part happens every time. It's 1 in 4, if that.)
VibeImages/iStock/Getty Images
"Sir, the usual room is ready."
Every college student can attest that it's easy to give in to vice when your brain knows it will have to wrestle a shoal of mental squids tomorrow. It's because impulse control and memory have their wires crossed. Their functions are essentially an everlasting game of tug-of-war -- the more brainpower you put behind one, the weaker the other one is bound to become.
This means that the more you load your memory, the more likely you are to cave to your impulses. That's why it's so easy to give in to your friends' keg party calls when you're trying to study for that big test tomorrow, and that's why no one who is using their brain ever has a healthy snack when there's chocolate cake available.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - Join Project MANA once again for this season's Stone Soup. Stone Soup is a weekly soup night in Truckee where everyone is invited to celebrate food, live music and community.
Soup is prepared and served each Sunday evening from Jan. 6 to March 10 from 5-7 p.m. at the Community Arts Center at 10046 Church Street in downtown Truckee. Bring your own bowl and spoon and come enjoy delicious soup and a good time! Donations are requested but not required.
This year, Project MANA is spearheading efforts to find different groups of volunteers from throughout the community to get involved in Stone Soup. If you or your organization is interested in preparing soup or volunteering on Sundays, contact Project MANA at 775-298-0008.
Talk Turkey a success
On Saturday, Nov. 17, Project MANA held another successful Let's Talk Turkey Food Distribution. Thanks to more than 25 local businesses, social service agencies, schools and churches throughout North Lake Tahoe and Truckee, Project MANA reached nearly 700 families in need and provided each of them with a turkey and fixings for a wholesome holiday meal.
Project MANA would like to thank each and every member of the community who helped make this year's Let's Talk Turkey Food Distribution possible.
More than 60 volunteers donated their time and hard work to make this event a success. Without the generous donations of turkeys, canned foods and money that Project MANA received from so many local businesses and individuals, it would not have been possible to provide so many holiday meals to so many people.
About Project MANA
Project MANA (Making Adequate Nutrition Accessible) is a non-profit hunger relief organization that has been serving North Lake Tahoe and Truckee since 1991. Project MANA's mission is to reduce the incidence of hunger and its detrimental effects upon individuals, families, the local community and the region.
The agency strives to accomplish this by providing immediate food relief to those experiencing hunger or who are at high risk of hunger, and by working to alleviate the root causes of hunger through programs such as child and adult nutrition education, community gardens, and through collaborations with local agencies that provide access to other important resources.
For more information, or to donate or volunteer, visit www.projectmana.org.

"Any form of academic dishonesty is a serious offense in an academic community."1 In giving a speech, oral group report, poster session and/or when publishing/posting a speech manuscript, the following parts of the Hamilton College Honor Code are most pertinent and your responsibility:
Sub-section 1. Plagiarism: Failure to acknowledge ideas or phrases used in any paper, exercise or project submitted in a course but gained from another person. Guidelines for proper documentation are available from many sources, including the "Essentials of Writing," provided to all students and available at the Writing Center.
Sub-section 3. Self-plagiarism: the submission of one piece of work in more than one course without the explicit permission of the instructors involved.
Sub-section 4. Cooperative or collaborative effort in coursework without acknowledgment or the explicit permission of the instructor. This is not meant to inhibit discussion and debate of academic subjects either inside or outside the classroom.
Sub-section 6. The submission of work as one's own that has been prepared by another person.
Sub-section 7. Forgery or falsification of academic documents. The chair of the Honor Court, after consultation with the dean of students, may remand such cases to the Judicial Board.2 In giving an oral presentation, you can avoid plagiarism by following the same rigor of citing sources described in the Writing Center handout Avoiding Plagiarism: "Put simply, you plagiarize if you present other writer's words and ideas as your own. You do not plagiarize if you 'provide citations for all direct quotations and paraphrases, for borrowed ideas, and for facts that do not belong to general knowledge.'"3
The form of the oral citation will differ from the written citation in a variety of ways. Decisions on form should take into consideration rhetorical style and effectiveness, the speaking context and its standing principles and practices, and audience expectations. First and foremost, "Be especially clear about what is yours and what is not. Give credit not only for direct quotations, but also for ideas that you paraphrase. Avoid the slightest hint of plagiarism."4
Consider first the options a speaker has for indicating direct quotations. Some speakers like to precede a quotation with "quote" and follow it with "unquote" or "close quote." But that may sound stilted to some listeners. Here is another approach:
In her 1998 owner's guide, Airedale Terriers, trainer Dorothy Miner says the following about the origins of the Airedale Terrier:
The responsibility of a speaker when paraphrasing the work and/or ideas of others is the same as in citing direct quotations minus references to the beginning and end of the quotation. Again, concern for attribution as well as style is necessary. Here is an appropriate citing of a paraphrase that blends the general flow of ideas and language with attribution:
In her 1998 owner's guide, Airedale Terriers, trainer Dorothy Miner says that the Airedale Terrier originated in Yorkshire England's Aire River Valley.
There are stylistic devices employed in speeches that may not require citation of their sources. These devices include sayings/cliche?s, maxims, proverbs, catch phrases, allusions, and other constructions that gather their rhetorical force from the fact that audience and speaker know of their authorship or that they are understood as anonymous or unknown in their origins. Nevertheless, caution is advised in the use of these devices. A thorough audience, context, and expectations analysis will guide you in deciding whether it will be mutually understood that citation is not required or expected when using these forms. Yet, to minimize risk, cite sources or draw attention to the fact that the "one-liner" is not your invention, even if you believe the audience knows the source.
When using media (overheads, handouts, sound clips, i-Movie, Power Point, etc.) that include the work and ideas of others (video, images, text, film, audio clips, etc.), a full citation is required. This may be accomplished by printing the citation on the object or in a written credit at the end of the presentation. In all cases it must be cited. In addition, you may need to seek permission to use the material from Hamilton's Copyright Compliance Officer, Sharon Britton (x4485). You may also seek advice at the library's Reference Desk, Multimedia Presentation Center, or from the HILLgroup about your specific ethical and legal obligations.

The holiday village of Les Paccots in the Fribourg pre-Alps is popular as a family ski resort in the winter. However, the area is also home to solitary winter landscapes. This winter hike to Guedères will take you away from the ski slopes and through peaceful pine forests and across snowy meadows. There are comfortable restaurants serving local specialities at both the start and the end of the route. This groomed winter trail starts at the Les Rosalys/place bus station. From the nearby Les Rosalys restaurant climb through the forest towards Les Vérollys and arrive at the valley station for the ski lifts in the Le Lac des Joncs area. Off the beaten trail now, you continue on an almost level path to Les Crêtes. The panorama widens with every step and between the peaks of the Fribourg Alps you will spot surprising vistas of Mont Blanc. Your destination is the Guedères mountain hut, now in deep hibernation. From there, you return to Les Rosalys along the same route.

Virtual celebrity
Let's get it out in the open. Yes, the rumors are true. An 11-year-old, Stevie Ray Vaughn-loving, guitar prodigy named Cole Citrenbaum was, in the early days of YouTube, what you could call a minor Internet celebrity. After a simple video of the bespectacled elementary school student shredding the blues on an electric guitar was featured on YouTube's main page, it went viral and landed millions of hits. It also led to a national TV appearance where the pride and joy of Bishop, Calif. (population 4,000), traded riffs with famed bluesman Johnny Lang. That was then and this is now, and the 17-year-old Buena High student has wisely shrugged off his Internet fame and the potential associated trappings in order to pursue his career more traditionally.
Land of opportunity
Starting high school in the much bigger town of Ventura after his family decided to move from their desert home would, understandably, find most kids having a tough time adjusting. Not Citrenbaum, who as a young and hungry musician looked at Ventura as the land of opportunity with its thriving scene full of venues and fellow players. From open mics to street performing, Citrenbaum used the new location to really find his own voice and focus on his songwriting, which relied less on the blues and more on the accessible hooks of a John Mayer or Rob Thomas; fairly impressive considering he still had to balance the demands of such distractions as homework.
One to watch
Naturally, Citrenbaum found a home at local singer-songwriter haven Zoey's, whose crowd embraced and encouraged his move toward original material. The venue's yearly Ones to Watch Songwriter competition, which focuses on new songwriters, was a natural fit; and appearing as a finalist there last year, Citrenbaum caught the attention of several producers and established songwriters who noticed his obvious talent. One of those producers was Jeff Trott, best known as the co-writer of several of Sheryl Crow's megahits. An impressed Trott agreed to produce Citrenbaum's debut release, and the two worked hand in hand together on the songs that would eventually end up on the EP Runaway Dream.
Cap, gown and guitar
Even with a name producer in his corner and a solid release of Top-40, radio-ready rock, Citrenbaum remains an incredibly friendly, normal teenager. Wise beyond his years in understanding that a music career can go hand in hand with an education, he plans on attending college after graduating from high-school while still pursuing a career in music. He's even level-headed enough to set reasonable goals for next year, which include playing more often beyond the county, continuing to grow as a songwriter, securing management and perhaps even starting a band. As he sums it up, "I'm just trying to be the best version of me, as an artist and as a person. I am really happy with where everything is going and I'm trying to learn as much as I can and enjoy the journey."
Cole Citrenbaum will celebrate the release of his debut EP, Runaway Dream, at Zoey's on Saturday, Dec. 1. To check out tracks or to purchase the new EP, visit, www.colecitrenbaum.bandcamp.com.

This long hike begins in the outer quarters of the city of Freiburg. You will be safely guided through the hustle and bustle on the streets, if you always follow the brown signposts of Jakobsweg (St. James Path). After a little over an hour you will reach the medieval bridge at Ste-Apolline, the first highlight of the tour. A step-by-step ascent leads up to the plateau of Ecuvillens. The landscape opens up to reveal fantastic views. The spectacular panoramic view of the Freiburg Alps captivates time and again. In Posat the path descends again to the wild, pristine valley of Glâne. On the other side of the river Glâne there is a long passage nearly devoid of shade, which takes you past the villages of Autigny and Chavannes. Then, after more than 6 hours of hiking, the city of Romont appears on a hill.

CAREY - You can slam it as hard as you can, or you can gently tip it to an open spot. It all counts the same. A kill is a kill.
With Carey displaying a strong defense against Mohawk's powerful hits, and the Blue Devils up in games 2-1 over the Warriors, Mohawk turned to simply finding the open holes on the floor.
While there were still plenty of vicious spikes, the soft tips over the Carey defense may have been even more valuable in enabling Mohawk to rally for a five-game 25-10, 23-25, 24-26, 25-15, 15-9 victory.

"I always like to tell them, there's more than one way to get a kill," Mohawk coach Eric Hoover said. "You can swing hard, but if it's going right at someone it doesn't really matter if they're good enough to play it. Carey's improved their ball-handling tremendously over the past few years. Just find a hole; just put it in there softly, doesn't matter how hard it is."
"I was just seeing the middle was wide open," Mohawk senior Kasey Adelsperger said. "I was just going for that until they adjusted. I kept getting blocked so I'm like 'I gotta do something.' So I just went to the middle.
"You just have to have control as a player. Put the ball where it needs to be. Just get your team the point."
Adelsperger, along with sister Julie, rose to the occasion when Mohawk needed a spark. The Warriors took the opening game, but dropped the next two and held a slim 11-8 advantage in the fourth. Julie Adelsperger came up with a kill, then grabbed the serve and refused to let go as the lead ballooned to 20-8.
Over that stretch, Julie served two aces while Kasey had three kills and Aubrie Flood had a kill of her own as Mohawk seized control.
"We got our backs against the wall that second and third game. We just got down mentally," Kasey Adelsperger said. "I just wanted to come in there, pick it up, show the girls that we're not out of this yet. Just do my job."
In the decisive fifth game, Carey opened with the first point of a Shelby Seifert kill but Mohawk took six of the next seven points. Four of those came from Kasey Adelsperger kills with Flood adding a kill and Clara Adelsperger scoring off a block.
Mohawk raced out to a 13-5 lead before Carey fought back with three kills from Shelby Kin. But Julie Adelsperger slammed down match-point to send the Warriors home victorious.
"We found ourselves in a hole there with our back against the wall for a little while," Hoover said. "I'm proud of the way they came back. Sometimes when you lose momentum it's really hard to get it back, and it took us a while to get it back and finally we were able just to build a small lead and get some more confidence going."
It looked like it might turn into a short night as Mohawk took the first game with relative ease . After dropping the first point of the second game, Mohawk quickly jumped back in front. Carey kept clawing back, finally retaking the lead 20-19 on an Adrienne Hackworth ace. Two kills each down the stretch by Kin and Seifert helped Carey close out the game to even the match.
The third game was tied on 13 occasions. Carey grabbed a 20-15 lead, but Mohawk rallied and got the game tied at 21. It was then tied at 22, 23 and 24 before the Blue Devils finally put the game away.
Seifert had six of her team-high 12 kills in the third game.
"She's played hard all year. I know its been a short season so far, but a great preseason," Carey coach Eric Vackert said. "She's been a good leader for us. She wants that ball; she wants to put balls down. She's one of the better players in the conference, I think. She did make some big plays for us."
But, Seifert had only one kill combined in the final two games.
"We said before the match, we knew they had three really good hitters that I remembered from last year. So we can't be sending them freeball," Hoover said. "And that's what happened in the second and third game, we sent freeballs and Seifert was just killing us. We couldn't stop her in those games. We put Kasey on her in that fourth game. ... Obviously some experience in the middle. A little bigger, stronger block and it seemed to help out."
Seifert was backed up by Kin with 11 kills. Sydney Wentling set them up to the tune of 32 assists to go along with 10 digs. Logan Johnson added eight kills and 14 digs.
Kasey Adelsperger had 15 kills for Mohawk with Julie slamming 14.
Both teams now stand at 3-1 overall with Mohawk jumping out 1-0 in the Midland Athletic League. Hoover says getting the first win, especially against a team expected to challenge for the top spot, is huge.
"You got to win that first one," he said. "To win the league anymore I feel like you almost have to be undefeated. Getting that first one's important."
Vackert said he can take pride in the way they played against a two-time district champion. But that doesn't help ease the pain from a tough loss.
"My girls fight," he said. "They are hard workers, no doubt. They're in that locker room right now, they're hurt. They expected to win tonight. We talked about contending for a title and trying to win a title. We knew tonight was one of the big people you got to beat. So it stings a little bit right now.
"I felt we didn't make some plays down the stretch," he added. "Might be new for us playing one of the state's best teams over the last few years. But I'm real proud of our team though. They gave a great effort, played one of the top dogs around and showed that we got a nice team this year."

Well, it's official.
The Republican Party must embrace the tea party movement if the GOP is to recapture the White House in 2016.
That's the take-away, kind of, from Dr. David Turner's rambling essay in The Inter-Mountain on Feb. 2.
Turner, who writes from a liberal perspective, blasted the tea party movement, played the race card and suggested that the GOP follow the advice of Gen. Colin Powell, a self-identified Republican who has twice voted for Barack Obama, and of Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana.
Alas, Turner's analysis and recommendations disappoint, leading one to the inescapable conclusion that he's all wet.
First, he lumps Powell and Jindal together, when, in fact, the only thing they have in common is residency on the same planet. Powell, to borrow a phrase from Winston Churchill, is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, while Jindal is clear and consistent in his support of the conservative principles that help define the tea party movement.
Turner also fails to draw an important distinction between the GOP nationally and the GOP at lesser levels of government. The GOP is doing quite nicely in many races (remember the 2010 congressional races?), and that is so because the winning candidates have been conservative. In that regard, Turner also does a disservice by implying that the GOP failed in the 2012 presidential race because the party and the candidate were too conservative.
Au contraire. The ticket failed because it was too moderate; too Democrat-like, if you will. And now that I think about it, moderate policies and politics have been the GOP national ticket's downfall for quite some time, going all the way back to George H.W. Bush, who lost his bid for re-election to Bill Clinton, a card-carrying Democrat. H.W. showed his true stripes with his approval of Democrat tax increases (despite his "read my lips" pledge), and a decade later, the son, George W., showed the stuff he is made of by ignoring the howls of conservatives and supporting a Democrat-backed $700 billion stimulus (bailout) package that drove a stake into the heart of the economy.
The moderate GOP trend continued in 2008 with presidential candidate John McCain (remember McCain-Feingold, where the senator joined with ultra-liberal Russ Feingold to curb First Amendment rights), and in 2012 with Mitt Romney, who was, in the GOP establishment view, somehow owed a shot at the big enchilada. Never mind that Mitt didn't have so much as a burning ember, let alone a fire, in his belly. (As it turns out, he was more combative with his GOP primary opponents than he was with President Obama.)
And so it came to pass that in the final days of the 2012 campaign (yawn), Mitt overlooked President Obama's disasters, including the Benghazi attack that left four Americans, including our ambassador, dead, and allowed Obama to stroll back into the White House. That's not to say that Romney didn't hurt his own cause with serious missteps during the campaign. He did, indeed, and that brings us back to Gov. Jindal and his recent comments about the GOP.
Turner would have us believe that Jindal has turned on conservatives and the tea party movement, but no, no, no. Rather, the governor has called for the GOP to stop being "stupid" (who can argue with that?), and most of his criticism is leveled at - you guessed it - Mitt Romney, the moderate. Turner's confusion on this point may be partly the result of the fact that he misunderstands the tea party movement, and maybe he's never attended a tea party gathering.
I have attended tea party functions, including the Taxpayer March on Washington on Sept. 12, 2009, and Turner's characterizations of such gatherings are bizarre, to say the least.
His chief gripe seems to be that the tea party movement is fueled by racism. That's flat out wrong. The movement is fueled by love of country and the Constitution, which explains why the tea party embraced Herman Cain, a conservative black man, in the GOP primaries, and why Thomas Sowell, another black man and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, likes the tea party movement.
It also explains why the tea party is cheering Dr. Benjamin Carson, a black man, who so eloquently articulated common-sense notions at the National Prayer Breakfast on Feb. 7.
The tea party is racist? I think not. The GOP and its next candidate for president will succeed if they embrace the tea party movement and its ideas - and ignore the mischievous advice of liberals such as Turner who want to grow government at the expense of personal liberty.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding on a concept originally coined by Walter Gilbert in 1986, Thomas Cech recently described two RNA worlds—a hypothetical, primordial world in which the same molecule combined informational and catalytic properties, and a contemporary world, forged by a spectrum of RNA-centered activities. While during the early days, following the discovery of DNA, RNA was thought to be the less interesting molecule, this view has dramatically changed in recent years.
Advances in RNA biology are reshaping concepts that have been prevailing for a long time. For example, in the field of developmental biology, decisions were traditionally envisioned mostly in terms of the progressive expression of different combinations of transcription factors that are induced by specific combinations and concentrations of growth differentiation factors.
"This is still the prevailing concept in the field, but there is much more to development than transcription factors," says Seth Blackshaw, Ph.D., associate professor in neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Investigators in Dr. Blackshaw's lab are primarily focusing on understanding the mechanisms that allow the different neuronal cell types to be specified in the adult brain during development. In a completely unbiased screen that sought to identify genes expressed at different developmental stages in the retina, Dr. Blackshaw and colleagues found several long noncoding RNAs that exhibited very prominent dynamic and cell-specific expression patterns, and their overexpression or knockdown exerted a dramatic effect on retinal development.
"We identified and studied only three long noncoding RNAs, but this is part of a bigger picture that, in terms of our notions about the genome, is in many ways comparable to the discovery of the New World," says Dr. Blackshaw.
"There are roughly 20,000 protein-encoding genes in the vertebrate genome, and anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000 long noncoding RNAs in mice and humans, many of which are expressed in the brain, and many of which are expressed in development and, therefore, we really need to expand our notion of the real number of genes that are important molecular players."
Understanding the biology of long noncoding RNAs is filled with challenges, and one of those is that even though a phenotype may be observed, the mechanisms of action are more elusive, making progress somewhat slow. Mechanisms are fairly straightforward for microRNAs, but more challenging for long noncoding RNAs, and it is not clear whether they work by base pairing or through completely different means.
"RNA can perform many of the same functions that proteins do. It can fold into many different shapes, it can interact with different structures, and it can even be catalytic. Almost anything that a protein can do, a long noncoding RNA can do as well, and this makes identification of the mechanisms of action of this very large set of molecules somewhat less than straightforward," explains Dr. Blackshaw.
A recent finding from Dr. Blackshaw's lab is the characterization of Six3OS, a long noncoding RNA that is divergently transcribed from the distal promoter of Six3, a homeodomain transcription factor important during neurodevelopment.
Dr. Blackshaw and colleagues found that Six3OS knockdown caused a dramatic phenotype overlapping with the phenotype caused by manipulating the associated protein-encoding gene, and similar defects in the development of different retinal cell types were visualized in both instances.
"We found that we could reverse the phenotype caused by Six3 overexpression or knockdown by manipulating the expression of Six3OS, and this provided conclusive evidence that these two genes interact functionally, and also suggested that the long noncoding RNA acts in a transcript-independent manner," explains Dr. Blackshaw.
While this revealed that Six3OS regulates Six3, the mechanisms were still elusive. To address this, Dr. Blackshaw and colleagues turned to a tool that they developed in collaboration with Heng Zhu's lab from the department of pharmacology and the Center for High-Throughput Biology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, which used Cy5-labelled Six3OS RNA to bind a human protein microarray containing approximately 70% of all annotated genes expressed as a yeast library of N-terminal GFP fusion proteins. This tool allowed the quick identification of the proteins that selectively interact with the fluorescently labeled RNA.
"We reasoned that any functionally important target of Six3OS would selectively interact with the human and the mouse homolog of the gene but not with other long noncoding RNAs," says Dr. Blackshaw.
This completely unbiased screen identified five proteins that selectively interacted with both the human and mouse version of Six3OS, and included Eya1, a known transcriptional cofactor of Six3, along with enhancer of zeste homolog 2, a polycomb complex component that interacts with many long noncoding RNAs, and SMARCE1, involved in chromatin decondensation and transcriptional activation.
These interactions were all confirmed by immunoprecipitation in cultured human cells. This suggested that Six3OS acts not by regulating Six3 expression but, rather, that it cooperates as a specific Six3 transcriptional cofactor.
"The two are co-expressed, and the long noncoding RNA acts as a transcriptional scaffold that helps recruit transcriptional co-activators and co-repressors that allow Six3 to activate or repress its target genes, and this may be a common feature of these long noncoding RNAs, to modulate the activity of protein encoding genes that they are co-expressed with," explains Dr. Blackshaw.
"We first used hybridization-based approaches to discover a preponderance of large noncoding RNAs, then massively parallel sequencing approaches revealed their fine grain structures, and now a combined hybridization-sequencing approach being used to unravel even higher resolution transcriptional dynamics," says John L. Rinn, assistant professor of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard Medical School and senior associate member at the Broad Institute.
The past few decades witnessed several alternating periods of hybridization-based or sequencing-based strategies, which culminated with their combined use. The first genetic loci were roughly mapped through crude hybridization-based methods. Yet upon the development of reliable nucleotide sequencing methods 20 years later, a dramatic shift occurred toward sequencing-based methods. That was until the sequencing of the human genome and the prospecting to determine the number of the genes within the human genome.
The solution was the emergence of DNA microarrays, which afforded tens of thousands of sequences to be simultaneously monitored. More recently, the massive parallel sequencing revolution brought sequencing back to the center stage for most applications. However, over the past few years, an approach that involves targeted hybridization followed by sequencing has been developed, and allows much deeper investigation into specific genomic fragments, such as disease susceptibility regions.
"When we were in the array era, we could find and monitor more genes by array hybridization, and now in the sequencing era, many people have shifted focus to sequencing-based gene discovery. History has witnessed these dogma shifts between hybridization and sequencing, but it is really the integration of the two approaches where one can see even more synergistic power," explains Dr. Rinn.
An important recent advance in the field was the development of RNA CaptureSeq through a collaborative effort between the labs of Gregory Hannon, Ph.D., and Richard McCombie, Ph.D., at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, together with investigators at Roche NimbleGen.
RNA CaptureSeq involves the use of tiling arrays across genomic regions of interest, followed by the subsequent hybridization, elution, and sequencing of the corresponding cDNAs. This strategy has continued to evolve to combine the strengths of in-solution capture and exome sequencing.
Recently, Dr. Rinn and colleagues applied RNA CaptureSeq to dig into the depths of the noncoding transcriptome. The authors identified previously unknown splicing patterns and isoforms, even in genes that have been extensively studied, such as p53, and in several long noncoding RNAs. Collectively, their application of hybrid-capture technology shed new insights while realizing that the full complexity of the human transcriptome is still far from being understood.
"This approach allows us to focus on long noncoding RNAs and, after capturing them, to visualize splice variations and gene-expression regulation differences in wild-type versus tumor samples," explains Dr. Rinn.
