The Sebile A.T. Floating Worm isn't just another worm, it is designed to work under all conditions, around all underwater terrains - hence its name the A.T. or All-Terrain Worm. It features a hollow body and a tough formulation, the combination of which, give it the feeling of a very soft, supple plastic. It also floats, making it extremely effective on a variety of rigs, and its thick V-shaped head and convenient hook slots make rigging easy and precise. Extremely versatile and available in a variety of colors, your imagination is the only limitation with the Sebile A.T. Floating Worm.
Be sure to check out the 2010 ICAST videos with the creator, Patrick Sebile, demonstrating the different ways to use and rig the Sebile A.T. Floating Minnow. (Click icon below main image)
0 Colors
Customer Reviews
Comments: This worm is sick, I usually rig it with the sebile soft weight system and it walks the dog like no ones business. Cast it out, slow walk it back. Caught a lot of fish on this worm. I use the grn/pump and the blue flake.
Comments: also not sure why TW only has these "token floating worm colors" cuz it's 10x more than a floating worm...i wouldnt even suggest it weightless unless u want a truly floating work. But it comes in other colors...a local shop has "standard" colors like green pumpkin, pumpkin...and some others...
From: Tanner: MA, USA
Comments: VERY serious bait on a carolina rig...glides and floats so well...each time u bump or drag over a rock it re-directs the "glide" like a fluke...also great for working a C-rig fast as a search tool...it will swim perfect agove the bottom. This is a versatile bait and on a weighted hook, great fluke or senko alternative...works well on a shakey head...almost endless posibilities. If ur a fan of the old double-hook worms of old, this is made to be able to be rigged that way easily w/ the pre-done holes. It's more durable than most baits as well...Try a bag or two. I am not a big Sebile fan but these have a good design.

iPhone Beer Fest
Posted on July 18, 2012
A few fun tips, tricks, hacks, and ideas to integrate your iPhone, beer and lifestyle.
There is very little that the iPhone cannot do, or improve upon. I bet you didn't know it could improve your beer experience. That's right. Since we're in the middle of a heat wave, and everybody fantasizes about cracking open a cold one, I thought I'd put a Fix-iPhones.com spin on the idea, and show everybody how the iPhone can help you get your drink on.
iPhone Beer Opener
Check out this Opena iPhone case that acts as a lever bottle opener to protect your phone. I'm invisioning a future Swiss Army iPhone case that has a zillion survival capabilities, including Taser toothpick and nail clipper. But this is an excellent start.
The power block HACK for iPhone Beer Opening.
Have you seen this one? You simply use your power block from your iPhone, iPad or MacBook to break into a cold one. WAAAY better than using your teeth. Image repined via John Ludwig on Pinterest. Original source unavailable.
iPhone Beer Apps
Always looking for that next beautiful craft beer. Mosey on over and have a little look at this well-reviewed app. Craft Beer App by Affect Global has an extensive library of beers, each described in meaty detail. You can also rate and share your various beer experiences. Also has videos!
Need an alarm to remind you to drink your beer once you clock out? Neither do we, but this is a fun Instagram style app that allows you to share your good taste and Beer Preferences with your social networks, and to celebrate getting off work with a little good natured fun. Check out the New Belgium Beer App here.
And monitor your consumption of beer in this app, BeerStat. You can count your calories and set daily and weekly limits for moderation.
And finally, RepairGenius would like to remind you to please drink responsibly. Never drink and drive. All of these iPhone Beer ideas are fun, but none are worth someone getting hurt.

1/22/12 – Day Five of the 2012 Phillies Phantasy Camp
For the second year in a row, I woke up with a bit of sadness knowing I would have to leave Camp by day's end. But I had to keep telling myself that this was going to be the perfect way to end the trip… hanging out at Bright House Field all day, soaking up the warm January sun in Florida, taking the field and playing against ex-Phillies player… this would be one helluva birthday.
All packed up and ready to go, I made my way down for an early breakfast. As per the Camp schedule, the four teams that ended in the top of the standings had to take the first bus to the Carpenter Complex. This not only meant I would get to see the Complex one more time in all it's early morning glory, but our team would be facing a Legends team at full strength.
These guys have to play 10 teams, at three innings a piece. That's 30 innings of baseball. Sure, they aren't really breaking a sweat against us Campers, but still, that's a lot of baseball. And by the time 2-3:00 rolls around, you can see it. Some just don't play at all due to past injuries, some leave a little early, some take themselves out midway through the day. The Drillers were scheduled to play fourth, so the Legends should be nice and loose by the time we got on the field.
I decided to forgo the normal t-shirt that I wore underneath my jersey everyday, and sport this little number (from Philavania.com) that I got for Christmas, courtesy of my best friends. This was definitely getting laughs around the locker room.
A few last minute pictures and several "well, if I don't see you later, it was great meeting/seeing you again" moments.
On my way over to Bright House Field, I walked with my teammate Paul Kirsch and Scott Eyre. Scott was telling us how much fun he had and how happy he was when ESF asked him back. He brought his young son once again, and they both had a blast.
Instead of walking up to the left field pavilion like we did every morning, we were allowed to enter the park through the batting tunnels, underneath the stands, and onto leftfield. As we reached the entrance to the tunnels, we came across two large ice storage bins. Scott stopped us and told us of a story about a time when he came down to Clearwater for a couple rehab games in August when he was with the Phillies. The weather was brutal; easily near 100 degrees with an equal amount of humidity. He was done for the day and couldn't take it any more. He opened the door to the ice container, and proceeded to put his entire body inside. The fans on the stairway above were howling with laughter.
It's stories like that that make me wish Scott was a Phillie lifer, and not a journeyman who only spent two years with the club. His myth would be legendary. Either way, his kindness and energy are exactly what the Camp strives for, so it doesn't matter how long he was with the Phils. He's perfect.
Past the batting tunnels and under the stands we went.
There is definitely a joke in this last picture somewhere.
I let Paul and Scott continue on to the field so I could take in this little moment of solitude. It was like something out of a movie or beer commercial. I've seen similar images a million times, but to experience this person… it's baseball heaven.
I let myself have a little two-second fantasy, pretending I was some rookie getting called up for my first game in the show, entering the park for early-morning batting practice…
*cue dramatic music*
That was nice.
The entrance let me out in the foul territory next to leftfield.
Again, I'm all by myself. I hear faint voices coming from the infield and the occasional echoing crack of a bat.
People love to fall asleep to CD's filled with gentle nature sounds like rain or waterfalls. I would have this on repeat all night.
Just beautiful.
I leisurely made my way to the dugout area to relax, chat, and take in the early games.
This day is extra special because Campers will bring their families in to the park, hang out on the field and dugout, and get autographs and pictures taken with all the ex-Phillies players. It's the last, fun-filled hurrah before we all fade in to that baseball sunset.
And once again, I am reminded of the power of baseball and family… the Cutler men sitting together in the stands, taking in the scenery. The dugout filled with Norman Rockwellian moments… my teammate Ed and his son, Greg, side by side. Sam showing his boy the benefits of being a left-hander, the Mongeluzis in a sweet embrace…
There was nothing I wanted more at that moment than to have my dad there with me to enjoy this day.
The third game was coming to an end, so it was time for us to get ourselves ready. Larry Andersen joined in for some catch with some of my teammates.
We would be batting first, so let's go to the big board for the introductions by longtime Phillies P.A. announcer, Dan Baker!
Well, they got my new number correct, but they still used my old #31 in addition to last year's photo. I'm surprised the board didn't break with my face being up there for so long. And even though Stack was not there in attendance, his picture was not shown. And where was Steely Dave, our MVP?! I wonder if the person running the video board was that same guy I saw doing tequila shots the night before at the hotel bar?
At least the lineup card would be fine. Wait a minute, is my name spelled wrong? *sigh*
We would be facing Ricky Bottalico today. Oh boy.
Of all the Legends at Camp, he definitely comes to the filed with the intention of winning. He gives us a REAL Major League Baseball experience. We take our first at-bats and Ricky Bo is throwing gas.
And just like that, we take our positions in the field. Before I go any further, let me explain the rules to these games:
– Games are three innings.
– Legends are only allowed to score two runs maximum in a given inning, no matter how many outs there are.
– Campers can field their entire team at once. That means multiple outfielders.
– If, by the last inning, a Camper has not batted, the inning continues until everyone has had a chance, no matter how many outs there are.
Howie and I agree to split the catching duties. He said he'll take the first and I'll come in for the second inning. I told him that I'll also be catching the third since we WILL be holding the Legends going in to the bottom of the third. He smiles and gives me a "hell yeah!"
John Ashcom takes the mound and I run out to my normal softball position, right-centerfield. I have another little moment, taking in my incredible surroundings. I'm playing on Bright House Field! This is not getting old. At all.
First up is The Krukker. And like he somehow knew I was wearing a t-shirt bearing his image, he sends a fly ball directly at me. Putout. I've never been so nervous setting up to catch a ball. I did NOT want to drop this one.
Ash made it a 1-2-3 inning as he got Jim Eisenreich and Mickey Mornadini to ground out to Dave Mongeluzi at first base for two consecutive, unassisted outs. Dave looked like Keith Hernandez, complete with impeccable trimmed facial hair, smoothly fielding both shots by the ex-Phillies.
We were unable to knock in a run in the top of the second, however, the highlight was easily Howie's at-bat. Rick had asked me to document his son's time at the plate, and he did not disappoint. He ripped a shot down the first base line for a triple. My camera caught ever step of the way. After Howie got a congratulatory high five from Tommy Greene, he tossed the ball in to the dugout for prosperity. What a thrill for the Cutlers.
It was my turn to don the catcher's gear. Now it felt like a dream. There I am, situated next to former Phillies, catching pitches thrown to them as they try and defeat my team. Seriously, where am I?! The last time I was in this situation, I was in my backyard about 25 years ago with a few friends from grade school. The Phillies were there… in spirit.
Just like the first, we get out of the inning leaving the Legends scoreless. My overly optimistic prediction had come true. I would be catching the third inning. The Legends were against the ropes!
Fellow New Yorker, Dave Horowitz, starts off the inning with a single. Everybody hits woo hoo! He quickly breaks Camp rules and swipes second. Our excitement is overflowing. The Legends let it go and leave him be on second. Eventually my spot in the lineup comes up.
Ricky Bo 's pitches come in fast, but nice and straight. I work two balls, but hell if I'm going to walk in this game. I start thinking of the advice imparted to me before I went up to bat. David Mongeluzi, Dave's son, had once again approached me to help me with my swing. This time, he told me to position myself towards the back of the plate. I told him it probably isn't going to matter.
I was right. I could have been sitting back 70 feet 6 inches and I still would have been late on these pitches. Whiff. Thanks for the advice David, but I have no chance against 80+ MPH pitches. Like I always love to say, you can't polish a turd.
That's OK, I was looking more towards the bottom of the third. Could the Drillers join a very elite group of teams to finish the Legends game in a tie?
Ricky Bo leads off the inning and, like every one of his at-bats, he wants to crush the ball. He rips a single, and, not to be outdone, promptly steals second base. Tit for tat. I can respect that.
Legend after Legend comes to the plate. Eventually Ricky Bo makes it to third, but does not score. Dave Horowitz fielded a ground ball at third, looked Ricky back and threw to first. Ricky did not budge.
The inning reaches its dramatic apex. Bases are loaded. One out. Mickey Morandini at the dish. A single or sacrifice fly will end this game. We needed a double play, or at least a strike out. Since that would be a sure-fire impossibility, we would have to depend on our gloves to end the game. Mickey works the count, then hits a grounder to Steely Dave who is now playing first. I immediately take my position at home. He throws a strike to me. One out.
Now I had to make another very tough throw down the line, back to Steely Dave to complete the 3-2-3 double play. Unlike my play from the first game, this throw went off target. I saw it go wide, but he stretched out with all his might. The ball hit his glove, but it tipped out. He quickly gathered it up and tagged the base just before Mickey's foot hit the bag. Two outs. Game over.
We did it. Not only did we tie the Legends, but we held them to no runs. We gathered around each other in the infield and celebrated like we just won the World Series.
We came back to the dugout. Mike Lieberthal, Kevin Stocker, and our player rep Joe were beaming, giving us high fives, telling us what a great job we all did. It was a truly special moment.
In all my years of playing sports, this was easily the greatest couple days of my baseball "career". And to think my defense would come in to the play to end the game… my dad would have been so proud.
Now it was time to relax in the dugout and have fun.
I stayed to watch the next game in which Sam was playing and take some more pictures.
Afterwards I headed to lunch with Dave Horowitz, then back to the clubhouse to get myself cleaned up. I would have plenty of time before the first shuttle to the airport, so I returned to the stands to watch more of the games.
I came across rookie Camper Ron DiBiase. Ron's brother-in-law had attended Phantasy Camp in the past, so he had an idea what to expect. However, he did stumble upon my blog earlier in the year. We struck up an ongoing conversation on email. This fellow drummer had also recently lost his father and was having very similar feelings about Camp. We bonded about our losses, but also reveled in the excitement of the upcoming Camp. His entire family joined him for the award banquet and the Legends game. I have a feeling I looked like Ron last year. Every day I saw him, he had the widest of smiles and a look of complete awe. He just could not believe what was gong on around him. I spoke to him after lunch and he could not stop talking about how much fun he had. I'm also considering hiring Ron as my P.R. man, as he had no problem telling anyone in earshot about my blog. I think he knows the details better than I do!
I turned my attention back to the games.
I happened to catch the previous night's Maje McDonnell Award winner, Craig Gerhart take his at-bat. I was really looking forward to this moment. The award Craig won was for "the player who has the personality, plus is a class both on and off the field". If Ron was the epitome of a happy Phantasy Camper, Craig probably should have been tested for an illegal amount of performance-enhancing giddiness. His daughter had given the Camp experience to her father as a gift for thanking him for all the love and care he had given to her mother during her bout with breast cancer. He was on cloud nine for the entire Camp. He said hello to every single Camper, asking them if they were having fun, while proudly showing off his glove… the same one he used as a child over 50 years ago. His enthusiasm and love for life was infectious. Larry Andersen kept tabs on him, constantly marveling at his happiness, almost to the point of annoyance. Of course, he was kidding.
Craig came up to plate against Andersen. He sent a shot over the second basemen's head, and the purposeful slow play in the field allowed Craig to move up a base for a double. He jumped up and down like a little boy. He hugged L.A.. He gave high fives to anyone within reach. That smile never faded.
I regret not taking a portrait of Craig during Camp. Craig, if you read this, I still want that photograph!
Later on, I got to see Martha Eyerly, the lone female player of the Camp, take her swings. She also got hold of one and sent it in to the outfield. Like with Craig, the Legends moved a little slow, "misplaying" the ball, throwing it away at each base. As Martha rounded third, L.A. then purposely threw the ball into the dugout. Martha made a big slide into home, plating two runs. The Legends "lost" this game, 2-1.
That's what Phantasy Camp is all about.
And with that, I walked to the bus that would take me to the airport. Once again, I would leave with all my baseball fantasies realized, and go home to the loving arms of my wife.
Baseball is not just a child's game. It can do wonders for one's soul. I came out of this Camp filled with absolute joy.
My dad was truly with me again.
You can read about Day Five from last year's Phillies Phantasy Camp here.
Like last year, this blog is not finished. There will be plenty of updates, including interviews with Campers, and two reunion events including the big one in August where I will take the field at Citizens Bank Park before the Phillies game that evening. So keep checking back and thank you much for reading!

Sarge – what an amazing recount of the week!!! Great photos and I felt like I was there again reading through the stories.
We really do have a lot of notes to comapre as I also caught at the Mets camp. The best position to play at camp by far! With other positions there is a lot of standing around followed by a sprint and then more standing around, but the catcher is in on every pitch. If I do go back again, this is the only position for me (assuming my legs hold out).
– Mike

Laurier earns silver STARS rating for sustainability efforts
Jan 21/14| For Immediate Release
Claire Bennett, Sustainability Coordinator
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier Universitys efforts to create green, environmentally friendly campuses have earned the university a silver rating from the internationally recognized Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS), developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Laurier first completed a STARS assessment three years ago, receiving a bronze rating.
We are extremely happy to have moved up to a silver rating, especially because the STARS assessment has been updated to be much more rigorous, said Claire Bennett, Lauriers sustainability coordinator, noting that the university is the first institution to have completed the 2.0 version of the STARS assessment. We participate in STARS because it is the most-used assessment framework by postsecondary institutions, primarily in North America but also worldwide. This provides us with a baseline for our standing and a benchmark against our counterparts.
To earn a silver rating, Laurier made large improvements in the areas of Air & Climate, Buildings and Coordination, Planning & Governance. Laurier improved energy conversation by tracking greenhouse gas emissions through recently installed submeters and an energy management system. Residence buildings on Lauriers Waterloo campus held energy-conservation competitions using the submeters and an online dashboard. Laurier also has two Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver-certified buildings on its Brantford campus, and the universitys building standards state all newly constructed buildings must follow LEED silver guidelines.
Laurier's strategic planning documents identify sustainability as a core principle within university education, operations and community partnerships, said Bennett. Laurier also excelled in the area of campus engagement. Student groups, such as the first-year Sustainability Council and the Laurier EcoHawks, work to engage the Laurier community and educate students on sustainable practices and behaviors.
The majority of rated institutions are silver (151), with 67 institutions holding a bronze rating and 53 institutions holding a gold rating. There are no platinum-rated institutions.
About STARS
The only program of its kind, STARS involves the public reporting of comprehensive information related to a college or universitys sustainability performance. Participants report achievements in three overall areas: education and research; operations; and planning, administration and engagement. The STARS framework is intended to engage and recognize the full spectrum of colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. STARS encompasses long-term sustainability goals for high-achieving institutions as well as entry points of recognition for institutions that are taking first steps toward sustainability. For more information about the STARS program, visit www.aashe.org/stars.

Mulch Your Carrot Patch
It's easy for carrots to dry out in the summer heat. You can help them by putting a 3-inch layer of mulch down around the plants. This will help keep moisture in while it discourages weeds.
Prepare the Seed Bed
Plant the Seed
Help Them Grow
Harvest Your Carrots
A Versatile Vegetable
Have you ever tasted carrots straight from the garden? They're crisp, crunchy, and much more flavorful than the ones you buy at the store. What's more, it's not hard to grow great carrots if you give some attention to soil preparation before planting.
Make it easy for your carrots to reach their roots into the soil and grow to their full potential. Plant in loose, loamy soil that's been amended with compost or other organic matter, such as Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice® Garden Soil, and cleared of rocks and other debris.
Sow carrot seeds directly on the soil 2-4 weeks before the last spring frost date. The seeds are tiny, so here are a couple of hints for easier handling: Moisten the soil beforehand, so the seeds won't blow away, or mix them with sand before sowing. Cover the seeds with 1/4 inch of fine soil or compost, then water gently.
Keep the planted seeds moist to help them germinate. This may mean watering once or twice a day for about 3 weeks. Once their true leaves form, thin the carrot seedlings to about 3 inches apart. It will help, too, if you carefully remove weeds from the area by pulling or hoeing.
You can begin pulling your carrots when you see their shoulders poking out of the ground and their color looks ripe. This will also help thin out the crop and let the remaining carrots grow larger. Cold weather increases carrots' flavor, so in the North, wait until the ground begins to freeze before you dig the last of the crop.
There are many ways to enjoy your home-grown carrots, whether cooked as a side dish, sliced in soups and salads, or served raw as a crunchy, healthy snack. Carrots can be stored in perforated plastic bags in the refrigerator for several months, so you can enjoy them during the winter months, too.

August 26, 2011 —
The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, announced that the former owner of a financial services firm, Alex Gambini, was sentenced today by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Edwin M. Kosik to spend more than four years in prison for participating in a scheme to fraudulently inflate mortgages during 1999-2002.
According to United States Attorney Peter J. Smith, Gambini, age 44, of Greeley, Pennsylvania, the former owner of First Advantage Financial Services, was sentenced to 51 months in prison. Gambini previously pleaded guilty to mail fraud as an aider and abettor.
Gambini was indicted by a federal grand jury in October 2008, as a result of an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Indictment outlined a scheme whereby operators and employees of First Advantage Financial, which was based in Lake Ariel and later Hamlin, and had an office in Old Forge, used false appraisals and false documents, including false W-2 forms, false real estate appraisals, and false employment records, to qualify customers for inflated mortgages and loans.
Some of those customers subsequently defaulted on the mortgages and loans resulting in losses to banks and other financial institutions. The amount of money involved in the fraudulent scheme was between $1 million and $2.5 million, and involved between 10 and 50 victims.
Gambini is the first of four defendants connected to the scheme to be sentenced in federal court. Guillermo Laureiro, Richard Woods and Benjamin Haughney previously pleaded guilty to mail fraud for their participation in the illegal scheme. All are awaiting sentencing.
Judge Kosik also ordered Gambini to serve three years on supervised release following his prison sentence, and to pay a $100 special assessment. The Court deferred ruling on restitution in the matter for 90 days. In his plea agreement, Gambini agreed to pay restitution for losses resulting from his conduct.
U.S. Attorney Smith noted that Assistant United States Attorney Francis P. Sempa prosecuted the case.

This pair of NASA Hubble Space Telescope pictures shows the appearance of a mysterious burst of light that was detected on February 21, 2006, brightened over 100 days, and then faded into oblivion after another 100 days. The source of the outburst remains unidentified.
The event was detected serendipitously in a Hubble search for supernovae in a distant cluster of galaxies. The light-signature of this event does not match the behavior of a supernova or any previously observed astronomical transient phenomenon in the universe.
Astronomers do not know the object's distance, so it can either be in our Milky Way galaxy or at a great astronomical distance. The optical spectrum of the object contains absorption features that have not yet been identified. This may represent a previously undetected class of transient phenomenon in the universe.

Genome Screen Reveals Two-Way Communication Between Common Biological Pathways and Body's Daily Clock
Insulin, folate metabolism influence circadian rhythms, according to Penn study
PHILADELPHIA – While scientists have known for several years that our body's internal clock helps regulate many biological processes, researchers have found that the reverse is also true: Many common biological processes – including insulin metabolism – regulate the clock, according to a new study by investigators at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation, and the University of California at San Diego.
The new data, published online in Cell this week, suggest that someday physicians may be able to use small molecules that inhibit or stimulate these biological processes in order to influence a person's clock when it gets out of sync due to jetlag or shift work. Researchers may also be able to find new ways to treat metabolic disorders that are intimately tied to the body's daily cycles.
Using a genome-wide screen, the investigators found that reducing expression of any one of hundreds of genes could substantially alter the length of the circadian cycle, which controls the 24-hour sleep/wake cycle. The clock-influencing genes are involved in a large number of biological processes, but the researchers found that components of insulin metabolism, folate metabolism, and the cell cycle were overrepresented in the gene screen, suggesting that these pathways are closely linked to the clock.
"Clock biologists all appreciated that the communication went one direction – from the clock to biological processes – but I don't think anyone anticipated that there would be this level of integration with cell metabolism and the cell cycle, or all these other pathways impinging on clock function," says John Hogenesch, PhD, Associate Professor of Pharmacology in the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at Penn. Hogenesch is a co-senior author on the paper with Steve Kay, Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences at UCSD. "There were some hints this might occur for some genes, but not to this extent."
The idea that biological processes might have feedback systems with the circadian clock makes some sense to Hogenesch. For example, he points to the influence of insulin metabolism, saying "If your energy requirements aren't being met, instead of spending a lot of energy on a cell division, a cell might necessarily delay it. It is the same strategy we use when we are not ready to do something, we delay. Maybe procrastination is an evolutionary cellular strategy enabled by the clock to confront situations where resources are limited."
While biologists regularly draw molecular pathways as if they are distinct from one another, they know the reality is much different. "This is a good example showing how dozens of pathways are functionally interconnected with clock function and vice versa," Hogenesch says. "It is important to remember that when you start to change function with a drug, for example, that the perturbation can have unanticipated consequence. Sometimes these consequences are good, but sometimes not."
Hogenesch stresses that while the new experiments show a feedback loop between biological processes and the clock in individual cells in culture, it is not yet clear how feedback systems work in the whole organism. Currently the team is working on biochemical and genetic experiments to answer that question.
In addition to publishing the data in the journal, the investigators have displayed the data on the BioGPS open-access searchable database (http://biogps.gnf.org). The circadian genome-wide screen data can be found at http://biogps.gnf.org/circadian/ and are linked to expression data from Penn, gene function data at Wikipedia and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), as well as gene structure information from the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Hogenesch, who helped develop the website when he worked at the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation in San Diego, said the site relies on web 2.0 technology and is very simple to use and customize. He and his colleagues built the site because many researchers want to do large database searches but are not computer scientists or informatics specialists. "Andy Su [of Novartis] and I decided to develop a site that even my mom could use, and pitched at the 90 percent of biologists who want to use something but don't have the skill sets. We decided to build something that would allow them to take advantage of large datasets such as this one."
Co-first authors on the paper are Eric E. Zhang and Tsuyoshi Hirota of the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation, and UCSD, and Andrew C. Liu, of the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation and the University of Memphis, Tenn. Other authors on the paper include Loren J. Miraglia, Genevieve Welch, Xianzhong Liu, Jon W. Huss III, Jeff Janes, and Andrew I. Su of the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation, and Pagkapol Y. Pongsawakul, Ann Atwood, and Steve A. Kay of UCSD.

Dealing with state prison overcrowding
Recommendations to help West Virginia cope with prison overcrowding appear to be based firmly on the philosophy that most criminals can be rehabilitated – that, in effect, once they are released from custody they would prefer to go and sin no more. Let's hope so.
Both state prisons and regional jails are packed. One estimate is that as many as 2,000 convicted felons are being held in regional jails instead of higher security prisons.
Something has to be done about the problem, before a federal judge steps in and orders the state to release some inmates to lessen overcrowding. It has happened in other states, forcing officials there to free some hardened criminals.
One option – not an appealing one, given the state's budget woes – is to build one or more new prisons. But such facilities are costly; one estimate is that a single new prison could cost as much as $200 million. Operating it would be a continuing drain on the state budget.
State officials sought help with the challenge from a national organization, the Justice Reinvestment Initiative. It has had some success in helping other states lessen prison overcrowding.
JRI researchers reported this week that part of the key is curbing recidivism. Better assessment of criminals after they are arrested and improved supervision after they are released were suggested. In addition, it was recommended the state spend $25.5 million during the next five years on substance abuse and addiction treatment for convicts.
The ideas sound good, so much so that the state Supreme Court has already embraced one of them. Justices revealed last week they will require that every convicted felon undergo testing to measure risks and needs for rehabilitation.
Especially in the area of drug abuse treatment, the researchers' ideas have merit. A substantial amount of the crime in West Virginia today is linked to drug abuse. Cleaning up addicts could put a big dent in the problem, and keep some convicts from returning to prison.
Better evaluation of felons and supervision of them after they are released may help, too.
But some of those in state prisons and regional jails are hardened criminals who should be locked up for as long as the law allows. No amount of rehabilitation will change them.
If following the JRI recommendations ensures West Virginia has plenty of prison space for those threats to society, state officials should do so.

Home-care workers could soon unionizeBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | March 19,2013MONTPELIER One of the larger groups of unorganized workers in the state could soon win the power to form a union.
The Vermont Senate last week gave almost unanimous approval to legislation that would grant collective bargaining rights to about 6,000 home-care workers scattered across the state. This small army of low-wage employees is the hidden labor force behind government programs that deliver subsidized care to elderly and disabled residents who need help to stay in their homes.
While their paychecks are funded by the state, these workers function as independent contractors. And any attempts to negotiate new wages collectively would run afoul of federal anti-trust laws.
Quite frankly these folks are on the bottom of the food chain, Sen. Ann Cummings, a Washington County Democrat, said last week. They work very hard, and receive very little in the way of benefits.
A crowd of home-care workers dressed in blue union T-shirts looked on from the Senate chamber last Thursday as lawmakers there cast a key vote.
Karen Connor is a communications director for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, one of two unions seeking to organize the workers. She said many home-care workers make less than $10 an hour and receive no mileage reimbursement, despite the fact that their jobs often require them to use their own vehicles to shuttle patients to doctors appointments, grocery trips and other errands.
We want to make sure they do have some voice when it comes to issues of pay, because right now they have nothing, Conner said. Theres no one to speak up for them, or to point out issues or problems, because right now there is no vehicle at all for the state to even hear them.
Home-care workers, who spend their days inside the residences of the individuals for whom theyre responsible for providing care, dont have supervisors to whom they can report problems. The terms of their employment are negotiated on a person-by-person basis with patient-clients, who use state stipends to pay for the care provided by their home-care worker.
Matt McDonald, Vermont director for 1199 SEIU Health Care Workers East, the other union vying to represent the workers, said the duties performed by home-care employees responsibilities can range from helping bathe clients to preparing meals are often the only thing between patients and a nursing home. He said ensuring the stability of that workforce is an appropriate public investment, given the amount of taxpayer dollars saved as a result of their work.
Exactly how much more Vermont will have to pay if workers earn collective bargaining rights remains unclear. Total payroll for the workforce is an estimated $40 million, so every 1-percent increase in pay would amount to $400,000 annually.
Gov. Peter Shumlin has said the higher wages in increased benefits wont impact the state budget until fiscal year 2015. He said his administration, which will be responsible for negotiating wages with the new union, hasnt forecast what the added pressure will be on the human services budget. He said, however, that the workers deserve to be paid more than theyre making now.
The home-care bill is far less controversial in Montpelier than similar legislation that would have extended collective bargaining rights to child care workers. That bill was shot down by a Senate committee last week, and its unclear whether the bill will resurface before the session is over.
The home-care bill, which stipulates that workers will not be allowed to strike, looks to have a clear path toward passage in the House, where lawmakers will take it up in the coming weeks.

Java is an OO language, which means much of the functionality of a Java application is encapsulated into cohesive classes that can be instantiated and acted upon. Nevertheless, once in a while you end up with some functions that are applicable to more than one class. These functions don't really belong to any particular class, but to a sub-system or a package. Although one can express this grouping as a class by itself (represented by interfaces), it is just simpler to collect them as static functions in a class, when one doesn't need the sophistication of service-centric approach for these methods. For example, I have a class called
ServletUtils (see Example 1 below).
One characteristic of static functions is that they are stateless, although for efficiency they may depend on some static variables. When these static variables are introduced or utilized, you need to know the class initialization rules laid out by the language. Although these rules are fairly intuitive, it is beneficial to know them in some depth, as static initialization involves side effects. This article is about what these side effects are and how to minimize them through a pattern called Static Resource Holder. With this in mind, I want to first review the basics of static initialization rules. For a complete treatment of the rules, refer to the Java language specification links at the end of the article.
Example 1.
public class ServletUtils
static public void
writeOutAsJavaScript(PrintWriter out,
StringBuffer javaScript);
static public String
convertToHtmlLines(String inString);
static public Map
parseQueryString(String httpQueryString);
static public Map
getParameters(HttpServletRequest request);
static public String
getSusbstitutedURL(String encodedString,
Map arguments);
//.. so on and so forth
A class is initialized before any of its members are accessed. The accessed members can include class variables and static functions.
Before a class is initialized, its superclass is initialized first.
You can use static blocks to initialize static variables. Java not only allows static variables, but also blocks of code that are declared just like variables. These are nameless blocks of code that appear alongside the variables.
Static variables and static blocks are executed in the order they appear in source code (so-called textual order).
A class is initialized before any of its instances can exist.
Static blocks cannot return. They are simply nameless blocks of code that execute in the order they are specified.
Static blocks cannot throw checked exceptions. This is somewhat expected as well, since they're called by the internals of the JVM. With all of the exceptions possible in arbitrary blocks of code, the JVM could not possibly meaningfully declare them all and warn about them through checked exceptions.
Nevertheless, static blocks can throw runtime exceptions. This also should be expected, because any piece of code in Java could result in a runtime exception, such as
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, etc.
Being static in nature, these static blocks of code cannot refer to
this or
super because at the time the static block is executed, there is not yet an instance of these classes.
While reviewing the static initialization behavior, I ran into an interesting piece of code involving name resolution and a static variable. Under this scenario, accessing a static variable of a class through one of its subclass's namespaces will not initialize the subclass (as one might rightly or wrongly expect), but instead will only initialize the superclass.
Consider the following superclass with a static variable defined in it. There is no magic in this class: a static variable and a static block, perhaps completely unrelated to each other.
class superClass
public static int i=10;
System.out.println("Super class initialized");
In addition to demonstrating the oddity that will be revealed shortly, this code also demonstrates the basic syntax of a static block of code. Notice how bare it is in its structure, only demarcated by the
static keyword. Also notice that there are no returns in the code block, nor any exceptions. Nevertheless, it is perfectly acceptable to throw runtime exceptions.
Now let us try to access that static variable
i and see what happens. To test this out, let me define a simple
Test class with a
main in it that makes use of the variable
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("Accessing static i:" + superClass.i);
When executed, the
Test class will produce the following output:
Super class initialized
Accessing static i:10
See how the intended output ("Accessing static i:10") shows up after the
Super class initialized print statement? This is a typical behavior of the static initialization--Side Effects 101 stuff. Now let me introduce a subclass and access the same static variable through the scope of the subclass, and see the nature of the print statements.
class subClass extends superClass
System.out.println("sub class initialized");
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("Accessing static i:" + subClass.i);
Notice how in the
main method I am accessing the static variable
i via the subclass and not the superclass (to which it actually belongs). This code, when executed, produces the following lines.
Super class initialized
Accessing static i:10
As you can see, this test code does not initialize the child, although the variable is invoked through its namespace.
So much for the digression; let me return to the main topic of the article, namely the side effects of static initialization. Static access happens when you access a static variable or invoke a static method, or instantiate one of its type. This will automatically trigger a lot of things. First, the class containing the variable or method is initialized, if it hasn't been already. This implies that all of the static fields will be initialized. If this initialization involves any newing of classes, then a lot of constructors are called. This is followed by the execution of whatever static blocks are there for that class. In fact, the side effects are further compounded when the class in case is inheriting other classes, as those classes get initialized first.
Consider the following static class, with three static functions:
sf2, and
public class sc
public static void sf1(){ .... }
public static void sf2()
SomeResource r = new SomeResource();
public static void sf3(){ .... }
From the three functions, I have provided the body for one of the functions,
sf2. This function acquires a resource, and primes the resource before doing something with it. If the resource
r is immutable after being initialized, it is possible to optimize the code by creating it once and using it again and again. Static initialization immediately suggests itself as a possible solution. This idea leads to the following code:
public class sc
private static SomeResource r = null;
SomeResource r = new SomeResource();
public static void sf1();
public static void sf2()
{ doSomething(r, "otherstuff");
public static void sf3();
See how a static block is used to initialize the resource
r? Because of the static block, this initialization takes place only once. That leaves the function
sf2 to just use the resource, instead of initializing it every time. So far, so good. When I started using static initialization to solve such problems, my work would have stopped here. But on further examination, there are some issues with this code.
Suppose there is a rule that
primeTheResource() cannot be called unless the system is initialized. This means that there is a point in the application initialization process before which
r.primeTheResource() is invalid. While writing this class, I am quite confident that
sf2() is always called after the application initialization. But the static class
sc is designed to be a utility class. What if the person writing the application initialization process sees that there is a very useful function called
sf1 and decides to use it as part of the application initialization process?
sf1() as part of initialization invokes
r.primeTheResource(), which expects the initialization to be complete before being valid. Such unwanted dependency occurred because I broke the class cohesion rule, which states that a class is not a general collection of methods but rather a cohesive, related module. The cohesion rule is apt and usually correct when I am designing instance classes. But since the class
sc is a utility class, it is a pain to design
n utility classes for
n purposes.
The unwanted dependency demonstrated so far can be broken by using a holder class for that can hold the single resource
r. Here is an example:
public class sc
public static void sf1();
public static void sf2()
{ doSomething(ResourceHolder.r, "otherstuff");
public static void sf3();
The static class no longer holds a reference to the static variable
r; instead, it borrows it from its holder class. Here is the
ResourceHolder class that hosts the static variable
r and initializes it at its first use.
public class ResourceHolder
public static SomeResource r = null;
SomeResource r = new SomeResource();
So far I have talked about abstract examples to show dependencies and the Static Resource Holder pattern. Now I would like to show a concrete example of how the Resource Holder pattern can be used. In this example, I want to take a parameterized URL string and then replace the parameters with their actual values to get the final URL. The parameterized URL would look something like this:
aspireContext is
arg1 is
15, and
arg2 is
abc xyz, then the expanded string will look like this:
Now let me consider the static method that does the substitution:
public static String getSubstitutedURL(String urlString,
Map urlArgs)
Map map = new HashMap();
//Shell dictionary
IDictionary paramDictionary = new MapDictionary(map);
//Search context dictionary first
//Search url arguments next
paramDictionary.addChild(new MapDictionary(urlArgs));
//Search application configuration last
//Replace heeding the rules of url encoding
return SubstitutorUtils.urlencodeSubstitute(urlString,
The method uses hierarchical dictionaries to resolve parameter names to their values. Importantly for this discussion, it uses a cached dictionary called context dictionary that is always the same for a given web context. Instead of maintaining a static variable for the context map that needs to be prepared once for the application inside the class, the solution uses a
ContextDictionaryHolder class to do the acquiring and initializing. The code for the
ContextDictionaryHolder is as follows:
class ContextDictionaryHolder
public static IDictionary s_contextDictionary = null;
String aspireContext = ServletUtils.getWebApplicationContext();
if (aspireContext == null) aspireContext = "";
HashMap m = new HashMap();
//Place other context related information into this dictionary
//Finally hold that in a dictionary
s_contextDictionary = new MapDictionary(m);
}//end of function
}//end of class
The static variable
s_contextDictionary is initialized using a static block and the side
effects are localized to only this class. The servlet API might provide other solutions to the context problem; nevertheless, this code demonstrates how static resource holders can be used in real situations.
Based on the discussion, a Java class with static blocks and a lot of static functions should flag a warning, since invocation of these functions may wrongly trigger side effects. This means that one has to pay special attention to side effects similar to this when writing static blocks. I'm not advocating converting all of your static blocks to use static resource holders, but look to see if a given situation necessitates a static resource holder. When you do see unwanted side effects, you can use Static Resource Holders to eliminate those unwanted side effects.

Irony, Critique and Ethnomethodology in the Study of Computer Work: Irreconcilable Tensions? (ABSTRACT)
Marcon, T., & A. Gopal
published: 2008 | Research publication | Refereed Journals - ODS
Marcon, T., & A. Gopal (2008), "Irony, Critique and Ethnomethodology in the Study of Computer Work: Irreconcilable Tensions?" Information Systems Journal 18 (2), 165-184.
ABSTRACT: To broaden critical discussion in the field of information systems beyond current approaches, we look outside the core management discourse and examine the critical element in ethnomethodological research on computer-based work environments. Our examination reveals a form of critique that is above all without irony, seeking always to be respectful of the competence of research subjects, and informed by an in-depth understanding of participants practices. We argue that ethnomethodology is an often unrecognised critical approach that attempts to speak from within a community of practice, in some cases offering a critique with clear implications for praxis.
Keywords: ethnomethodology, critique, irony, computer work
