Gene sequence data is the most abundant type of data available, and if you're interested in analyzing it, you'll find a wealth of computational methods and tools to help you. In fact, finding the data is not the challenge at all; rather it is dealing with the plethora of flat file formats used to process the sequence entries and trying to remember what their specific field codes mean. If you survive by surrounding yourself with well-thumbed hard copies of readme files or remembering exactly where to look for the details when you need them, then Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell: A Guide to Common Tools and Databases is for you. This book is a handy resource, as well as an invaluable reference, for anyone who needs to know about the practical aspects and mechanics of sequence analysis.Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell: A Guide to Common Tools and Databases pulls together all of the vital information about the most commonly used databases, analytical tools, and tables used in sequence analysis. The book is partitioned into three fundamental areas to help you maximize your use of the content. The first section, "Databases" contains examples of flatfiles from key databases (GenBank, EMBL, SWISS-PROT), the definitions of the codes or fields used in each database, and the sequence feature types/terms and qualifiers for the nucleotide and protein databases.The second section, "Tools" provides the command line syntax for popular applications such as ReadSeq, MEME/MAST, BLAST, ClustalW, and the EMBOSS suite of analytical tools. The third section, "Appendixes" concentrates on information essential to understanding the individual components that make up a biological sequence. The tables in this section include nucleotide and protein codes, genetic codes, as well as other relevant information.Written in O'Reilly's enormously popular, straightforward "Nutshell" format, this book draws together essential information for bioinformaticians in industry and academia, as well as for students. If sequence analysis is part of your daily life, you'll want this easy-to-use book on your desk.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell: A Guide to Common Tools and Databases is a liger. Much like sequence analysis, which is a cross between computer science and biology, a liger is the result of a cross between a lion and a tigress. Tigons, which are the offspring of a tiger and a lioness, have also been bred.In a classic display of "hybrid vigor," a liger may be 10-12 feet in length and weigh upwards of 800-1,000 pounds, making it significantly larger than either of its parents. Since lions and tigers are genetically very similar, their offspring show a fascinating blend of the features and habits of both species. Depending on which subspecies of lion and tiger are bred together, and how their genes combine, a liger may look more tigerish or more lionish. Ligers are both striped and spotted; the spots being inherited from the lion. A male liger may grow a leonine mane or the facial ruff of a tiger. Female ligers exhibit both the leonine need for social interaction and the tiger-like need for solitude. Both sexes roar like lions and "chuff" like tigers, and most ligers also inherit their tiger parent's love of water. Like other interspecies hybrids, ligers are usually sterile.Ligers do not occur in the wild, but are the result of captive breeding. Natural breeding is not impossible, just extremely unlikely since the habitats of tigers and lions have little to no overlap, and because the solitary tiger would most likely avoid interacting with a pride of lions.

Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell Review
By Patrick Fleury
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell: A Guide to Tools:
Title: Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell (SAIAN)Authors: Markel, S and Leon, D.Publisher: O'Reilly and AssociatesYear: 2003The basic idea behind sequence analysis is the classification of DNA or protein sequences in terms of other known DNA or protein sequences. To take a simple case, suppose there is a laboratory team that decodes a section of human - or mouse or rat - DNA and finds it corresponds to a sequence of letters, perhaps something like AGTTCGATTGATTGCA. (This is a fairly small sequence.) The team might want to find out is what is already known about this particular sequence. To do this, they would compare their sequence to a known database of sequences.This database searching is not a trivial matter because, not only would they want to find out if there are any exact matches for their sequence, they might also want to find out if there are any approximate matches. Here, approximate takes on a new meaning because it not only means sequences that share a large number of exact matches, but also sequences where parts of their sequence appear separated by other letters. For example, if you consider the above sequence, it appears in the sequenceATAGTAATTCGAGCTTTGAATTTTGCAexcept that there are a few other letters interspersed within it. Or, they might be happy to find a sequence like the above except some of the letters have been transposed to other letters. For example, the sequence ATTTCGGTAGATGCA is the above sequence with a couple of random letter changes.Such alignments, although highly unintuitive to the uninitiated, might be useful to the biological researcher.The team might also want to search not only databases of human DNA but also mouse DNA, rat DNA or perhaps even the worm, C Elegans. I could go on with this, but I am merely trying to convince you that searching for one sequence among other sequences is not just a matter of bringing up a regular expression engine and letting it do its job. Instead, it's a very sophisticated process with lots of variations and parameters. Indeed a lot of work has gone into tweaking the particular types of algorithm to use in such searches. These algorithms have been codified into families with titles such as BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) and BLAT (BLAST-Like Alignment Tool) and ClustalW and they are available in various places on the web.This brings us to the volume under discussion. While it is possible to find out about these tools by searching the net, it would be useful to have one source that contained information about all of them in one easy to use format. This volume is that source.This is another of O'Reilly's Nutshell series. Like the others in the series such as "Perl in a Nutshell", "C++ in a Nutshell" etc., the volume does not have as its main point the explication of the theory of sequence analysis. You will need to look elsewhere for that. Instead, it collects in one place a lot of information about the tools that are useful.The first five chapters are devoted to clear descriptions of the common data formats you will run into in sequence analysis. These include, FASTA, SWISS-PROT, GenBank and some of their relatives.The next few chapters are devoted to the tools that make these analyses work. Surprisingly, BLAST, one of the most popular of the search algorithms gets pretty short shrift. It only has about seven pages devoted to it. This might be due to the fact that O'Reilly recently published a book devoted entirely to BLAST. (There will be more about that later.)The short space given to BLAST might also be because the authors wanted to save a lot of space for EMBOSS (European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite). EMBOSS is a suite of over 100 programs for sequence analysis that have been released as open source and whose code is available on the web. Anyone who wants to see real working C-code to perform sequence analysis matching would do well to down load these programs and study them. Markel and Leon devote almost 170 pages to this suite and all of its possible options and flags. By the way, the section on EMBOSS is really the only place a where a particular programming language appears in the book and it doesn't really appear because you need to download the code to see it. There is no Perl in "SAIAN". Besides data formats and descriptions of tools, the book also has some other useful parts. For example, it has appendices devoted to amino acid and nucleotide tables, and genetic codes. It also lists a lot of websites where interested parties can go to find more information.This book looks useful for anyone who would like to have good single reference for sequence analysis tools.All of the above notwithstanding, the book is a manual and sometimes reading it is just like reading a Unix Man page. It may be informative, but, if you really want to know what is going on, you may need to look elsewhere for some further explanation. In particular, the treatment of BLAST in "SAIAN" does not really tell you what is going on. I would be much harder on "SAIAN" were it not for the fact the O'Reilly recently published another book titled simply "BLAST"."BLAST", which was written by Ian Korff, Mark Yandell and Joseph Bedell, is subtitled "An Essential Guide to the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool" and it is indeed that. It contains not only a detailed introduction to BLAST, but also a short introduction to the theory behind BLAST. If you want to find out a little bit about basic genetics and how BLAST works into sequence alignment, you could do a lot worse then read this book. It goes through the algorithms in some detail and actually shows you some elementary Perl code to carry out some of the algorithms. Furthermore, it contains an introduction to some of the statistical methods behind the code. (If you want to go deeply into the theory behind the algorithms, I recommend the book by Durbin, Krogh, etc referenced at the end of this review.)In summary, "Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell" is a useful tool. It collects in one place common data formats. It also collects references to common algorithms such as BLAST and BLAT. It has a large section on EMBOSS. It has appendices on genetic codes and nucleotides. It has a lot of references to URLS for finding more information and for downloading code. It does not have enough about BLAST but, the book called "BLAST", also from O'Reilly, provides a very good reference for that tool along with other more theoretical information.Finally, I want to point out the animal on the cover of SAIAN works as symbolism on several levels. It is a liger a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. (A cross between a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon. Ah, the wonderful things you learn from reading the colphon of an O'Reilly book.) It is not only fitting that such a mixture of genes be on the cover of this book but it is nice to note that the authors work for LION bioscience.Patrick FleuryBooks referenced in the aboveDurbin, R.

Recent maneuvers suggest BofA-MBIA pact likely: analysts
By Rick Rothacker
(Reuters) - A long-running legal dispute between Bank of America Corp BAC.N and insurer MBIA Inc MBI.N could be settled in early 2013 after recent maneuvers involving MBIA's bonds, analysts at research firm CreditSights wrote.
MBIA won the necessary consent of bondholders to change the terms of some of its debt last month, despite a move by Bank of America to thwart the change. That outcome has reduced the bank's negotiating leverage, increasing the likelihood of a settlement, the analysts wrote in a report dated Tuesday.
Bank of America, the second largest U.S. bank by assets, last week also said that it was proceeding with an offer to buy some of MBIA's bonds, which could be part of a settlement strategy, according to the report. <ID: L1E8N6098> The bank took a similar approach in a pact this year with insurer Syncora Holdings Ltd SYCRF.PK, CreditSights said.
"We speculate that BofA is adding exposure to MBIA's capital structure to conceal the amount of a settlement so as to not set a precedent for negotiations with other litigants," analysts Rob Haines and Eric Axon wrote.
MBIA and Bank of America declined comment.
The legal wrangling is a major cloud hanging over both companies, which have struggled to recover from mortgage-related troubles from the financial crisis.
MBIA claims that Bank of America owes it billions of dollars over soured mortgages that it wants the bank to buy back. Bank of America says the insurer owes it billions over certain credit default swap transactions.
CreditSights said it expects a comprehensive settlement that would cover both issues. Continued...

Reader Lars H. sent this photo of a spectacular crash in Denmark involving a Tesla Roadster. He didn't provide any details, so we can't tell you what happened or how any of the drivers fared in the collision. If anyone's got info, please pass it along. We've asked Tesla Motors if it knows anything and will update you if we hear anything.
UPDATE: 7:30 p.m. Eastern: Tesla spokeswoman Rachel Konrad sent us this e-mail:
This was a customer car but the customer was not driving or in the car at the time. The driver stopped at a red light behind a truck and was hit from behind by a VW Touareg driving at 80km/hour at the time of impact. The Roadster driver walked away with minor bruises.
As reader dougdirac notes in the comments below, there's a thread at Tesla Motors Club and a couple of pictures on Flickr. According to the information on those two sites, the silver car — a Toyota Avensis — allegedly hit the Touareg, forcing it into the Roadster.
The photo was posted on Flickr by skagman.
UPDATE: 11 p.m. Eastern time: Got an email from Doug at Tesla Motors Club who says that's definitely a Toyota Prius, not an Avensis, in the pic. (Commenters made the same observation.) The latest word is the Prius allegedly hit the Roadster, pushing it under the Touareg, and Doug notes there a piece of the Roadster jammed under the rear bumper of the Touareg.
We'll keep you posted if we hear anything more.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Helios M6 RCP package
The new EPP packages for Helios M6 are uploaded to the download area and just need some more hours to be distributed to the Eclipse download mirrors until we can make them available for the public from eclipse.org/downloads. The mirroring is important, because otherwise the eclipse.org uplink would be entirely saturated and no one could get the Helios M6 bits in time before EclipseCon.
In the meantime, I'd like to highlight some additions that I recently did as a package maintainer of the RCP package. (If you don't know what a package maintainer is you should consider joining my talk on Monday about 'Building EPP packages'.)
- git is becoming more and more popular at Eclipse and EGit is always one of the first plug-ins that I am installing whenever I unpack a new Eclipse milestone on my computer. The logical step: Include EGit in my RCP package because I think that I am not the only one who needs this tool.
- Another addition that I recently made is the RAP tooling. My daily work has changed and in the last months I am doing more RAP development than RCP development. I am not entirely sure if one needs both in one package, maybe RAP needs to go into its own package, but so far I think both technologies complement each other. I am happy to get feedback – see bug 230357.
- Last but not least: The Marketplace Client (MPC) is included to allow early feedback – the developers of this nice tool need your feedback to bring it into the best possible shape for Helios!
Now let's wait until the packages are available… and I need to go back preparing my EclipseCon slides.

great to hear :)
hopefully we don't run in some situations where P2 includes optional RAP depenencies into IDE
hi markus,
seems to be dangerous.
all works well, but suddenly we got rap into the IDE
so I remembered your blog ;-)
reason: there was in one bundle a MANIFEST.MF with dependency (package import) org.eclipse.ui.swt
and RAP was in the IDE
Hi Markus,
I dont know whats the reason, but since some hours RAP always comes into the IDE after doing some updates:

i live on the 3rd floor of an apartment building, literally next door to the hood. Anyways, I took an ambien to go to sleep at around 1. At 3 i woke up hearing something bang on my window and balcony door, I thought someone had broken in or was trying to. I was disoriented from the ambien but pulled myself together, grabbed my full-size IWI Jericho .40 and my mag lite from the night stand and went to investigate. I was half expecting to see a crack head lifting up my plasma tv. Thank god i was wrong. after searching my place to make sure no one was hiding anywhere i realized that the idiots 2 units over had been throwing beer bottles off their balcony. It freaked me out at first because i was not 100% sober. but im glad it wasnt serious because i was ready for battle...
Im glad i woke up though because im usually a deep sleeper and have been worrying that the combination of that and the ambien im prescribed for insomnia would make it difficult to wake up if something serious was happening. I think i handled myself well though under the circumstances and it was reassuring to have both a flashlight and my sidearm at my immediate disposal, so there would be no wasted time in an actual emergency.
However I have learned from the experience and im much more mindful of keeping my doors locked and not letting people know where I live. It has made me reconsider my ambien consumption though. Even though it doesnt completely knock me out because ive built a tolerance to it, its unnerving to think I may not be 100% ready to go if a serious situation presents itself. I need to take it because of my insomnia however but this had made me want to try to lower my intake and eventually get off the pills completely for safeties sake.
Overall though it was just a false alarm and I think that I handled it the right way.

Program 1
1. Rescue and rehome cats and dogs. Pet Haven volunteers find safe new homes for cats and dogs. All of the animals receive complete veterinary care including exams, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip identification. The animals in our adoption program stay in volunteer foster homes until permanent homes are found for them. 2. Spay and neuter to reduce pet overpopulation. All dogs, cats, puppies and kittens that Pet Haven places into permanent adoptive homes are spayed/neutered. In addition, Pet Haven offers a low-cost spay/neuter program to the general public and grants to other companion animal rescue groups to assist their spay/neuter efforts. The grants are focussed on altering cats and large-breed dogs where the problem of overpopulation is the greatest. 3. Promote responsible guardianship of companion animals through educational programs. All Pet Haven adopters are provided with animal care information. In addition, Pet Haven publishes a quarterly newsletter, a website, blogs, and has booths at community events, all of which provide information regarding the care of companion animals to the public. 4. Advocate on behalf of companion animals. Public policy and public opinion play an important role in the welfare of companion animals. Pet Haven works with other local animal welfare groups to support legislation and initiatives to benefit animals at the state and local level.

Ms. Kate Mudge
Kate Mudge joined Pet Haven in March 2015 and has 10+ years expertise working with non-profit organizations. When asked what drew her to animal rescue and Pet Haven, Kate had this to say:
The answer is simple…I knew that I wanted to work with an organization that makes my soul sing (or howl?!). With the help of volunteers and the Board of Directors, I aspire to improve the lives of the animals in our community, advocate for them when they leave us to go to their forever homes, and help to implement policies and programs that encourage and support animal welfare in the community at large. I realize there will be challenges, but with the challenges there will certainly be rewards, whether in the wag of a tail when one of our dogs meets his new family, a lazy cat relaxing in her new friend's arms, or the ability to help those who want to have their pet altered but can't afford it without our help.

SMX London 2008 – Day 2 Session 4
The final session of the day was entitled "Search 3.0 – Local search and blended results".
Big stat to start you off with – 30 – 40% of all searches have local intent. Heini van Bergen of Tribal Internet Marketing took an over-view look at the emerging dominance of local search, and talked about some of the criteria for getting local search working for you. They broke down in to four main areas:
– On-page factors – phone number, location, keyword-rich URLs and proper contact address. As many of your locational details in your URL as possible!
– Off-page factors – inbound links, keywords in anchor text (again) etc
– Reviews – number of reviews on your site, reviews on third party websites.
– LBL (Local Business Listings) – Google local should be used, get your keywords right, proximity to center of searched location, make sure it's in the right category.
He also talked about the Don'ts – no using multiple LBLs with different details, don't list multiple addresses on your website (for the same thing).
Next up was Susan Hallam, who talked about user behaviour and how the local search engines get their data. One of her best slides was a screenshot from Google Insight (for used car birmingham and similar phrases) which nicely illustrated the down-turn in searches due to the credit crunch. She touched on the addition of review data to Google local results, and stressed the importance of getting your users to review your services on the sites which feed these review results. They can't be on your own site, before you ask! Directories and classifieds sites were also talked about, with the UK version of Craigslist amongst the featured sites you could utilise if right for your business.
Next up, with the task of talking about "everything else" (Fox's words) was Jon Myers from MediaVest. Myers talked mainly about the localisation options within Google PPC advertising, and some of the issues with that as well as the benefits. He also talked about the telephone numbers that get displayed with your local search results, and suggested getting a specific number to use with these listings so that you can monitor ROI from a front page Google local listing – you'll be surprised by it's success. Finally he touched on the use of local search in Mobile searching – local is almost certain to be the distinguishing factor that makes mobile search finally come in to it's own.

Then there's the language gap. Standing in line at the Budapest airport cafeteria surrounded by hundreds of people speaking in Hungarian, German and Slovaki, I look up from my tray of pork and potato to see Rod Serling standing off to the side. "Consider the case of Mr. Bagman - an American sent to Hungary to teach Japanese business practices..."
Actually, Rod fits in well here. The Hungarian dress code hints at a 50's sort of cool. The 50's wrapped in a wool coat.
The Hotel Corner in Komarom is new; I'm the first American to sign the guest book
The front desk is also the bar - you can get your key, buy stamps and drink vodka if you like. I discovered why it's called the Corner - it's on the intersection of two quiet streets that explode with activity twice a day. One of those times is 4:00 am, when the diesel buses down the street fire up.
I'm meeting two of my students here, Heremon and Aideen. They're staying at the Corner, and have a car. They're easy to spot in dining area; both smoking post-breakfast cigarettes, wearing black and glasses that would brand them nerds in America. Put shades and a beret on Heremon and he could be a bongo player at the Stereotype Lounge. Here, he's just cool. Heremon and Aideen are electrical engineers from Finland.
The industrial park is about 3km from the hotel, an easy walk if it would quit raining. The weather has been pretty lousy lately, the cars sporting a thin coating of mud. Out the window I see three kids waiting for the bus. As the bus pulls up, they take one last drag on their cigarettes and flick the butts away in unison. They will no doubt exhale into the bus driver's face. Funny what you remember about school.
What little of the Hungarian countryside I've seen in the daylight looks a lot like Eastern Washington in the Winter, if they replaced the tract houses with widely scattered stone buildings with words like 'Gummi Javati' painted on the walls.
Over the course of the week we drove by the Gummi house eight times, enough for it to finally dawn on me what it meant. In the afternoon there's an over inflated truck tire inner tube with the word 'Gummi' painted on it. It's parked on the shoulder of the road, so close that Heremon almost hit it with the rented Jetta one afternoon. Gummi must mean rubber. Looking at the selection of Trabants and other cars sitting on blocks in front of this stone house, it looks like the guy is running a tire shop out of his house. Capitalist.
OK, here we are, in a large conference room at Faceless Corporation, ready to make some changes. I've come halfway around the world to work with these people. I start off with the usual introductions and wondered how to make this all work. I speak American, understand some German. The Finns speak Finnish and English English. The Hungarians speak Hungarian and varying degrees of English and Slovakian. Some Slovakians speak only to each other.
Most of the electrical engineers are Finns, most of the supervisors are Hungarian and most of the people on shop floor are Slovakian.
On the first day, the Slovakians sat together, the Hungarians sat together, one German guy sat by me and all the Finns were delayed at the airport in Vienna.
This is when you earn it.

The Iron Bowl: The Greatest Rivalry In Sports (By Far)November 28, 2008
The Iron Bowl is, without a doubt, the greatest rivalry in sports.
Or, it is the greatest rivalry in sports that don't divide fans by religious affiliations or hooligan clans. Now, people can argue against this statement, but I will not be swayed. Still, I invite you to give it a shot.
I know right now there are a few rivalries that have already popped into everyone's heads. Yep, there are some good ones that I will discuss, but nothing matches the Iron Bowl.
In college football you have Ohio State vs. Michigan.
It's a good one, but not as great as the Iron Bowl. First off, the rivalry is between two states. Sure, this past Monday morning, Michigan fans went to work with heads hung low.
However, they were probably comforted by fellow Michigan fans in their home state. They didn't have to sit next to some smug Auburn Tiger or Alabama Crimson Tide co-worker who will give them grief for the next year.
Plus, people in Ohio and Michigan have professional sports teams to focus on.
In the NFL, Ohio has the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns (okay, those are bad examples), while Michigan has the Detroit Lions…okay forget I said anything about the NFL teams.
Both states have decent professional basketball and baseball teams.
Heck, Detroit even has the nickname of "Hockeytown." Birmingham once took pride in being called "The College Football Capital of the South," because that's really all the state of Alabama has.
We have no professional teams to divert our attention. That's why you have close to 100,000 people show up to a spring scrimmage in Alabama. We live, eat, and breathe college football 365 days a year.
Honestly, we have pretty much nothing else to do. Could somebody at least open up a Dave & Busters here, or something? Please?
Really, can you even compare Ohio State-Michigan to Alabama-Auburn now? Do you see how much more the Iron Bowl means to the residents of the state of Alabama? It's not even close.
Staying in college football, you have the Army vs. Navy game, but they really play for nothing more than pride. Plus, I think you probably had to serve in either one of these branches of the Armed Forces to feel the full affect.
The South Carolina vs. Clemson, Florida vs. Florida State, and Georgia vs. Georgia Tech rivalries, while intense, are diminished because the rivals don't even play in the same conference. Unless there are national championship implications, then the game is usually only for pride.
Miami vs. Florida State comes close in terms of conference consequences and same state hatred, but Miami hardly ever sells out even some of the biggest conference games, and both teams are infested with fair-weather fans who couldn't have told you a thing about either school before 1983.
Duke vs. North Carolina probably comes as close to the Iron Bowl as anything in college sports. The difference is that they could potentially play each other four times in one year. Also, everybody hates Duke, so what good is a rivalry if there is no unique hatred?
As for professional sports, the greatest rivalry everyone points to would be the New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox.
Great, yes, but on par with the Iron Bowl? Please.
They play each other approximately 238 times during the regular season. It's not a "one shot, winner take all" type of deal. Even then, defeated New York and Boston fans can soothe themselves with the New York Giants, Boston Celtics, and New England Patriots.
This is the truth, no matter what ESPN tells you.
I'm sure I've forgotten a few rivalries. But really, what does it matter? Nothing touches the Iron Bowl.
I will open up the topic for debate, but be warned. You're going to be wrong.

Soffits and fascia are two important elements in home's exterior, as fascia provides protection to the edge of the roof between the shingles and the soffit, while soffits are critical to attic ventilation, controlling moisture in the attic spaces and moderating temperature extremes.
Brad Flannigan, an exterior product specialist for Callen Construction, Inc., a full service remodeling company serving southeastern Wisconsin since 1986, said the cost of renovating soffit and fascia depends on linear footage, but it is typically a reasonable investment that enhances a home's look and functionality.
Many soffits and fascia on older homes are wood and need to be replaced as moisture and the elements may have damaged them. "When replacing the soffits and fascia on your home, there are different materials to choose from,' Flannigan said. "For most homes, I recommend aluminum for its many advantages." These include:
• Aluminum's durability and maintenance-free property.
• Aluminum eliminates the need for additional painting. "Anyone who has taken the time to scrape, prime, and paint soffits and fascia knows it's a time consuming job – and it typically doesn't last as long as you'd like," Flannigan said.
• Aluminum's inclusion of panels to eliminate expansion and contraction. "It doesn't jostle in the wind and it's more secure," he said.
• Aluminum offers color variety to match or accent a home's exterior. "We use Mastic products, which have a hard-coat finish, baked on enamel coating," Flannigan said.
• Aluminum lasts the life of your home.
Flannigan said Callen exterior product specialists look at the entire exterior and advise homeowners on what will work best for their circumstances and if there is a repair that should take priority. For example:
• When Callen installs fascia and soffits, the staff looks at the existing board to make sure there is no damaged or rotting wood. "If so, we recommend that it be repaired at this time before your maintenance-free products are installed," Flannigan said.
• On the fascia, Callen does a pressure bend so it doesn't ripple and homes get a stronger profile and rigid performance.
• For soffits, Callen checks the existing venting to make sure the attic is getting the ventilation it needs. "We install vented soffits to enable air to go up through the attic to keep the attic cooler in the summer, prevent moisture damage, and prevent ice damming in the winter," Flannigan said.
• Corners are butted, as everything is mitered to the gutters.
• Color coated nails the same as the fascia are used so they are not visible.
• If there is a brick mold under the soffit, which is a board band, Callen trims that as well to alleviate all maintenance.
Soffits and fascia can be installed at any time and is always done when a home is re-sided. "However, if you anticipate replacing your roof, you should do that first to avoid any potential scratching to your new soffits and fascia," Flannigan said. "We also recommend that if you are doing the soffit and fascia, do the gutters too and include a gutter protection system that lets water flow through the gutter while the debris stays out. You will then have a complete system with no maintenance worries, added value to your home, and a boost to your home's curb appeal."
"When replacing soffit and fascia, you are taking care of bad wood, ensuring you have proper attic ventilation, eliminating maintenance, and giving yourself peace of mind," Flannigan said
The Home Exteriors by Callen showroom in Brookfield on 191st and Capitol Dr. has a wide assortment of products on display, including Infinity® Fiberglass replacement windows from Marvin, siding, doors, and roofing, and Gutter Topper®. Callen's Muskego showroom on 131st and Janesville Rd. contains a variety of samples, including full kitchen and bath displays featuring Kohler fixtures and Starmark cabinetry, countertops, as well as Infinity® Fiberglass replacement windows from Marvin.
Callen is a member of several home improvement and area associations, including the Milwaukee/NARI Home Improvement Council, National Kitchen & Bath Association, the Metropolitan Builders Association Remodelers Council, Better Business Bureau, Angie's List, the Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce.

With so many internet connected devices at home, there is growing demand for a wireless internet connection to fulfil the duties they were truly designed to perform.
For this you need, and may already have, a wireless router.
Whether you really understand this device is another matter. So let's take a moment to fully appreciate the router – a seemingly dull, but essential cog in the whirring machine of our modern network experience.
The internet itself is governed by giant super-sized routers. Take as an example the humble email: when you click "send" the digital information that makes up that message is split into loads of tiny data "packets" which are then sent along copper wires or fibre-optic cable and reassembled at your recipient's end. Huge routers decide how to push these packets towards their destination and can dynamically "re-route" if there is a fault somewhere.
The home router does the same thing but on a much smaller scale. It basically directs information traffic prioritising what is "important" information.
This means your network can work unaffected by the activities of people on neighbouring networks or anywhere else on the internet.
When buying a wireless router, basic considerations include connection speed and range, spectrum and network management features.
Connection speed is about how fast packets of data are exchanged over your router. This will affect both how fast your connection to the internet is, and how fast your connection between devices is. The acronym "mbps" refers to "mega bits per second" and describes this rate of transfer.
Connection speed is closely tied to range, or the physical distance over which your router can pass information, and frequency.
The better the range of your router, the closer your connected devices become in relation to the central emission point of the signal – your connection is faster and more stable.
The frequency of your device is described by the term Gigahertz (GHz). The 2.4GHz band is a frequency that was made available to product manufacturers a long time ago to use without regulation, which explains why so many products – cordless phones, garage door openers – use this frequency. Because it's a crowded spectrum, interference is common. For that reason, a lot of new routers also use the 5GHz frequency, which has a shorter range but is clearer. Dual-band routers can either access both frequencies simultaneously or either one specifically at your choosing and therefore experience less interference and a smoother connection.
Beyond these basic specification qualities, routers these days offer network management features that are also worth considering.
First and most important of these is security. If you do not password protect your network, strangers can and will use it.
If you're in any doubt, just have a look at the network preferences. How many of your neighbours' networks show up without a lock symbol next to them? If you tried, in some cases you could even gain access to their family photo albums.
It's scary stuff. Most new routers come with in-built security features but it's best to look for Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) as the previous security standard Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is very easily bypassed.
Secondly, many new routers offer flow management. If you have an internet plan with on- and off-peak times, some come with software that can change the settings on your router to know when those are and shape your download activities accordingly.
You can also tell some routers to prioritise specific content of your choosing for better performance – streaming videos, or VoiP (voice over internet protocol) phone calls, for example.

Do Different Coloured Smarties Sweets Taste The Same?
Do different coloured Smarties sweets taste the same? This is a question doing the rounds on many online sweets forums and among sweets lovers all over the world. Smarties originated in the UK and have become an internationally recognised brand thanks to the trademark oblate spheroid shape and the fruity flavours that cover the chocolate inside the Smarties.
People who love a shot of sugar in their bloodstreams every now and then love Smarties as they can just pop them in their mouth. They are small and are available in many flavours and colours. People who have been eating Smarties are at one time or another going to pose the question, do different coloured Smarties sweets taste the same?
Well, the answer to the question do different coloured Smarties sweets taste the same is that all Smarties taste the same regardless of the colour expect for the brown and orange smarties which taste like coffee. Many people presume that the Smartie's outer crust tastes the same as the fruit of the colour it represents.
This implies that orange colored Smarties should taste like oranges and chocolate colored Smarties like chocolate. The chocolate inside all smarties tastes the same with no artificial flavouring. Smarties are perfect for entertaining guests. If you have guests, placing Smarties in a centerpiece for self-service is not only decorative, it gives a chance for the guests to choose their favourite coloured Smarties.

The smallish two-room club retains the dark corridors, cavernous ceilings and exposed brickwork of its original factory building, but the rather grand indoor reflecting pool at the entrance reminds us that this place has artier ambitions (and that the spot was the former home of Galapagos). Public Assembly gets packed for all kinds of events, from burlesque shows and obscure film showings to (loud) techno parties that don't really get going 'til 2am.

|The last time the Sixers played the Knicks in Philly, the roles were reversed. The Sixers were looking up at the Knicks in the standings, they needed to make up ground, they needed a win, badly. They were hungry. Let's take a look at how that game worked out in anticipation of tonight's showdown for sixth.
Latest comment: from mymanjrueYeah, I did see that...so I was thinking of Herb everytime ET made a jumper, and especially on that three...
|The good news is that Evan Turner stepped up in his new role and looked the part of the number two pick in the draft. The bad news is that the Sixers did their best imitation of the Butler Bulldogs in the second half and kind of embarrassed themselves against a team they may face in the first round of the playoffs.
Latest comment: from emtmessThats funny you are saying that Geen, Noc, and Kapono are better than Turner right now. Thanks I needed that. :)...
|I don't know about you, but the color green turns my stomach when I see it on the basketball court. The Celtics are the enemy, plain and simple. Pierce, Garnett, Rondo and Allen are a scourge on my basketball world and there's nothing I enjoy more than seeing the Sixers beat them. Tonight, the Sixers need to tap into some of that hatred, they need to stir it up, relish in it, and send a message to a rival and possible first-round opponent.
|Lou Williams is definitely out for the next five games, possibly longer. Yesterday, we talked about how his minutes might be redistributed, we talked about Evan Turner's opportunity, we talked about Antonio Daniels being signed, we talked about what the team would be missing in Lou's absence. What we didn't look at is the possible positives of life without Lou.
|Lou's MRI confirmed a strain of his right hamstring on Sunday. There is no definitive return date, it looks like they're going to reevaluate the injury frequently before committing to a timetable. At this point, there's no rush. Get him 100% fully healthy by the time the playoffs start, that's got to be the only priority. In the mean time, the team has five games left and they need to figure out how to fill Lou's spot.
|Throughout the week, basketball writers from the major sites have a number of chats and run rumor columns. Every once in a while, they actually talk about the Sixers. In this column, GoSixers has aggregated the relevant stuff from the chats. You'll see stuff in here that will make you scratch your head, but keep in mind, these guys are experts.
|The list of things that could've swung this game the other way is very, very long. If Jrue hits even half of the good looks he missed, they win. If Brand connects on one or two more of those elbow jumpers, they win. If Jrue's pass to Thad on the final play of regulation isn't three feet too high, they win. For tonight, take solace in that, chalk this one up as an ugly loss, and move on. When you wake up tomorrow, though, realize they have to rebound from this game quickly, and it's not going to be easy.
Latest comment: from eddies' heady'sSo you really do think fish can see bait when the water's muddy?...
|In yet another "this is what good teams do" type of game, the Sixers absolutely manhandled the Nets at the Wells Fargo Center last night. Right from the opening tip, it was clear which of these teams would eventually be heading to the playoffs. At the final buzzer, it was official.
Latest comment: from BrianJrue is leading w/ 18, followed by Brand (14), Iguodala (13) and Thad (12)....
|With a win tonight, the Sixers will reach 40 wins on the season, they'll reach 4 games over .500 for the first time since April 5th, 2009, oh, and they'll clinch a playoff spot as well. Standing in their way? Deron Williams, a center with a stripper name and the rest of the New Jersey Nets.
Latest comment: from GoSixersPilot Inspektor (sic) or Kal-El Still two of the best names crazy celebrities ever abused their children with...
|Doug Collins stated last week that winning as many games as possible is the goal of this team. Playoff seeding and who the Sixers' first-round opponent may wind up being isn't really all that important beyond getting as many wins and the highest seed they can. It makes sense, especially with so much ambiguity among the top three seeds. What he hasn't mentioned, though, is how he's using these games to figure out his playoff rotation.
|The defense wasn't there in the first half. They seemed a bit sluggish at times, and they were settling for too many jumpers. Houston couldn't miss a shot. After the break, though, the Sixers put their foot on the Rockets' throat and never let up. A nice, tidy double-digit win at home over a surging Western Conference foe. Good work.

About this recipe: This is the quintessential macaron recipe. I am training to be a baker, and after much trial and error, we (the baker and I) finally perfected our technique!
I am the original submitter of this recipe, so here are some tips to follow, since All Recipes changes the recipe a bit when they approve it. 1.) You have to measure the ingredients by weight. They've put the weights in the footnotes. If you measure out, say, three egg whites instead of 50g of egg whites, you might be off enough to mess up the cookie, and it won't puff up correctly (or at all). 2.) YES YOU DO HAVE TO SIFT THE INGREDIENTS! I'm so lazy. I've tried to do it without sifting. It never works out, trust me. Sift that powdered sugar and almond powder together. You won't regret it. 2.) The "silicone baking mat" in step one was originally a Silpat. I have tried making these on every surface known to man, including my cookie favorite, parchment paper. You need the Silpat or you won't be able to get the cookies off the sheet. 3.) People debate on whether it's necessary to let them set for an hour before baking. We tried setting them from 1 to 240 minutes. One hour is perfect. 4.) It is possible to mix it too much, and the cookie won't puff up when baked. Use as few strokes as possible when folding the almond into the egg whites. 5.) I highly recommend finding already-ground almonds, rather than grinding them yourself. It was our experience that grinding our own almonds resulted in an inferior cookie. They have to be ground to a very fine powder, and it's nearly impossible to do with regular kitchen equipment. Good luck! - 22 Aug 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I used gel food coloring to color the macarons and only needed a little bit. I added that at the very end of the folding (macaronage) process. I wanted two different colors, so I separated some of the batter in another bowl and carefully stirred in the colors. I do not own a scale so I had to follow the volume measurements rather than the weight measurements. It is not advisable to do so with macarons but I didn't have a choice. I made this recipe twice and the first time my macarons were lumpy/grainy. The second time I grounded up my almond meal (Bob's Mill) some more in my food processor to get a finer texture and that helped a lot. I also made sure that I folded in the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture very well into the whites mixture but was careful not to overmix. I made a strawberry buttercream to fill the pink ones and a lemon/lime buttercream for the green ones. I also used apricot preserves the first time I made them to fill the yellow ones but we didn't care for that. My next ones will have chocolate ganache and hopefully I will have my kitchen scale to ensure better measurements. Great recipe! - 25 Sep 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Thank you for this recipe! Have never tried a macaron but have recently been obsessed with trying them. Of course, there's nowhere to buy them within a hundred miles and I hate risking buying food online. So I tried this out. For my first try, I think I did really good, considering how hard people always say it is to get them right. Tasted good, had little feet, just didn't puff up all the way (too much liquid in mine, I think-- because i never fully follow directions). The only problem was a technical one. I didn't have a non-stick base (had JUST run out of parchment paper) so 90% of them stuck and lost their bottoms too much to ignore. It wasn't a bad thing though, because my spouse ate them all anyway. He actually didn't like the ones I filled, just the plain ones. ^-^' Will definitely do this again. - 22 Jul 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

This is mentioned in stata list archives but with the SMR option
The manual is not very explicit although it does state (p. 216):
"By default, the confidence intervals are calculated using the quadratic
approximation to the Poisson log likelihood for the log-rate parameter."
I don't know it that is specific enough for you.
The returned results (not mentioned in the manual) include r(Var) and
r(sd) but I believe they describe the variation between strata.
An approximation to the standard error of the log(rate) would be:
(log(ciu) - log(cil))/3.92, but that may not be what you are asking for.
Instead of -strate- you might consider using -ci, poisson-.

Movie Monsters' Jewish Parentage
They don't look related. But iconic movie monsters like the Mummy, The Wolf Man, Dracula, and Frankenstein's creature share parentage. Carl Laemmle, a Hungarian-Jewish immigrant, founded what became Universal Studios in 1912; under the aegis of his son, Carl Jr., the studio went on to introduce the most memorable monsters in moviedom. Another Jewish refugee, Curt Siodmak, wrote screenplays for Universal creature features including "The Wolf Man," "I Walked With a Zombie," and "The Beast With Five Fingers." To celebrate the studio's centennial, horror-culture bible Rue Morgue dedicated a special issue to Universal Studios and its founders. The Arty Semite caught up with Dave Alexander, Rue Morgue's Toronto-based editor-in-chief, about the Laemmles's legacy, the Jewish DNA of Universal's monsters, and why so many Jews seem to make their bloody mark on the horror genre.
Michael Kaminer: Do you think the Laemlles's identity as Jewish refugees played a part in their creation of so many iconic monsters? Did the monsters represent something bigger?
Dave Alexander: That's a bit of a tough question, because it's not always known for sure how much the producers had a hand in shaping the screenwriters' story. What we do know is that Carl Laemmle wasn't interested in the horror genre, but Carl Laemmle Jr. loved it and was the driving force behind the Universal monster cycle.
Israeli Horror Comes to Life
"THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK," blares the headline in May's Rue Morgue magazine. But the threat's not coming from the usual suspects. This time, it's zombies, serial killers and apocalyptic plagues that have the country on high alert. And it's happening on the big screen.
Israeli horror is finally coming into its own as a genre, according to the popular Canadian journal of "horror in culture and entertainment." After decades without "a single, proper Hebrew horror film," no fewer than five Israeli horror movies have splattered across screens recently, with many more on the way.
The catalyst was 2011's "Rabies," which Rue Morgue calls a seminal moment — "the release of [Israel's] first real horror film." Until "Rabies," the magazine notes, most of Israel's cinematic output consisted of dramas dealing with political or social issues, or portraying dysfunctional families.

I was wondering if there's anyone going to Kentucky this year to Murray Univ.? Will you be taking in the conference, the course, or taking the Test?
I haven't seen the schedule of topics and speakers for this years conference. I went to the sideliner course last year and was very pleased. I expect to go to the main conference this year.
I've gone to every EAS I could find the time to attend since like forever.
There are a few things that every beekeeper has to see to believe.
One of them is the 800 or so beekeepers that attend a one-day meeting
on the first Saturday in March in Wooster Ohio (the "Tri-County Beekeepers"
meeting. The other is any EAS meeting. The 3-day event is about the
biggest assembly of the best and the brightest in one place one will find on this planet.
The "short courses" (Mon-Wed) are excellent, but they are intense, and
are not for short attention spans. The sessions at the general meeting
(Wed - Fri) are an hour at most, and if you find that you are in a session
that does not interest you, there is no stigma attached to leaving, and
going to another talk that might be more interesting.
Is there a web site with more information?
2008 info not posted on website yet but has been published in the newsletter
Yes, http://www.easternapiculture.org/pro...overview.shtml is the Eastern Apiculture's website and http://www.easternapiculture.org/pro...08Brochure.pdf
is a pdf file of their brouchure for the weeks events. However, I haven't yet seen the break down of what takes place where and when.
:confused:Has anyone else seen that info?

I had that red in my old 91 Jetta that I had at college, one of the best reds VW ever did, the longest used one too as the A1 also had this red. That color never came over here in the Passats, it came in the B4s, but not the B5 and B5.5s. You have to post us some more pics as I have never seen a variant in Tornado Red. Never even knew VW offered a body kit, the ones they had here were only for the sedans.
nice color...

Date of Stay: September, 2009
My husband and I spent Labor Day weekend here and enjoyed it very much. The best thing about this place is the adult swimming pool. We're an older couple and this plus a great restaurant on the premises was ideal for us.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
I camped here from May to September with the seasonal rate. I was by myself most of the time with visits from my family who live close by. This is a very safe, friendly, quiet and well-maintained campground. I'm going back this year to stay again and know I'll love it.

Past research has offered differing results as to the effects of job motivation and job satisfaction on job performance. Using a correlational research design, this quantitative study examined the relationship among these variables in order to determine the effects of job motivation and job satisfaction on job performance in bank employees. A convenience sample of 70 bank employees participated in the study. Participants completed the demographic questionnaire and three Likert-like questionnaires, the Ray-Lynn Motivation Instrument, the Job Satisfaction Instrument, and the BANKSERV Customer Service Instrument. Collected data was analyzed using both Pearson r and multiple regression techniques. The results of the study showed a positive correlation between job motivation and job performance in bank employees, r (68) = .43, p < .01, and a positive correlation between job satisfaction and job performance in bank employees, r (68) = .29, p < .05. Additionally, the combination of job motivation and job satisfaction was found to significantly predict job performance in bank employees, R2 = .18, F (2, 67) = 7.62, p < .01. Other factors tested did not have a significant relationship to job performance, including gender r (68) = -.28, p > .05, age r (68) = -.01, p > .05, salary r (68) = .26, p > .05, and stress r (68) = -.03, p > .05. These results suggest that by applying managerial strategies to increase job motivation and job satisfaction, job performance can be potentially improved in bank employees. Future research is needed to re-test whether such correlations can be found in other types of business in the interest of finding industry specific variance.

Antillon ready for spotlight!
Unbeaten in 25 fights with 18 knockouts, and ranked in the top five by three of the four major world sanctioning bodies, Maywood, California's Urbano Antillon has more than earned a major fight on premium cable television or for a world championship, but says the top names at 135 pounds are avoiding him. "I paid my dues," said the 26-year old. "Now I want my shot. I keep seeing fighter after fighter without my credentials getting these big opportunities, and I'm tired of it. I'm putting out the word to the public right now – I'll fight any of these guys any place at any time, and I will knock any of them out."
A 2000 National Golden Gloves champion who beat former world titleholder Paulie Malignaggi on the way to the crown, Antillon (25-0, 18 KOs) is now in his ninth year as a pro and has torn through his competition, winning the NABO and NABF titles at 130 pounds while scoring big knockout victories over Bobby Pacquiao and Daniel Attah. Currently on an eight fight KO streak, he has his sights firmly set on a world title in 2009.
"I'd love to fight the winner of the Edwin Valero vs Antonio Pitalua fight, and I hope he'll step up," said Antillon of the April 4th bout for the vacant WBC lightweight title. "I'm not holding my breath though. We offered Vicente Escobedo a fight but he turned it down, and he's just one of many that won't fight me. That's okay though; I'm not going anywhere, and I'm just gonna keep doing what I do and eventually I won't be able to be ignored any longer."
Antillon returns to the ring on May 1st at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. He will headline the venue's first-ever boxing event against Michigan southpaw Tyrone "Fist of Fury" Harris.
Note: Although the Hard Rock has previously hosted numerous boxing events in a room called "The Joint," the original Joint closed in February. This will be the first fight card at the new version of 'The Joint,' built on a former parking lot on the east side of the property. The new building has a capacity of 2,986 and is scheduled to open on April 19 with a concert by ex-Beatle Paul McCartney.

Love this product!!! I've been looking for a brightening serum to help with my hyperpigmentation from acne and this does the job! I've been using it for about 3 months now and definitely seeing some promising results. Also, a little goes a long way. Although the product is on the pricey side, one bottle should last you at least a month!5
Okay I had a total meltdown my mom stole it from me lol,. she loved it and ordered the serum full size for herself, I notice a pattern I'm the one with the box subscription and my mom and sisters order it all and try to sneak of with it, okay back to the serum, its AWESOME, smells great leaves my skin radiant and full of glow. YES YES YES i have always loved Caudalie love it more!!! thank you Birchbox5
I have been using this serum for about 4 years. I have oily, reactive skin that is prone to acne if I don't baby my skin with proper diet and ideal skincare. I use this in the day under makeup and sunscreen, over a layering of various toner/lotions. My skin can get a bit pink sometimes and I love the way this serum calms the redness and gives my skin a plump, even, youthful glow.
I have repurchased this several times and my only wish is that it were cheaper but a little goes a long way. Typically a bottle will last me 8 months to a year since I only use one pea-sized drop a day.
I used this product (sample size) until it was gone using small portions and it seemed like it was working. I also changed my beauty routine so that helped. It made the uneven skin around my mouth fade a bit. I used it day and night as instructed. I can't imagine what a full bottle would do. I was happy with the results and after 2 months the results stayed4

"I didn't think in any moment about leaving QPR," Cesar was quoted by Globo Esporte at a press conference.
"Of course, if anything came up, as it happened, it was something to sit down and talk about with the club's chairman.
"But, in my head, things have gone back to normal.
"I don't think I'll have to do anything different due to the fact I am in the Championship. It's a strong competition in England with competitive teams.

Mizz DR: "I Like to Have Long Sex"
I'm a guy on the street/club. How do I go about approaching you and how do I not go about it?
First of all do not say 'Ayo ma!' that's annoying to me. You say, 'Excuse me miss.' You have to excuse yourself, don't come out the blue like 'Ayo ma, Ayo ma.' Sometimes you walk down the street and men don't know how to talk to you, but they scream names out here and there. I'll definitely keep it moving down the block. It's not working.
In the bedroom do you like to take control or do you want you man to take control?
I like to take control.
Cuz I'm like that, I guess it's just a part of me. When it comes to relationships men can't always take control, men always have that perception because they're the man of the house, they should take over, but it's not always like that.
What's your favorite position?
I like them all. I like something creative.
Where's the craziest place you've ever had sex.
On top of the washer machine, it actually felt good.
Where is your sexual fantasy location?
On the beach, I've never had sex on the beach.
How important is foreplay to you?
It's not even that important. Its always good for foreplay, so you have a start to do what you're about to do.
Do you find other women attractive?
Let me just clear this, I'm not gay, a lesbian bi sexual or none of that but, I will say this they are female that are pretty and I will say they are gorgeous I think every female has the right to tell another female they are pretty. Men don't know how to tell a female they are pretty or beautiful.
Who's your female celebrity crush?
I gotta say Amber Rose she got it down packed. She's pretty.
Rough sex or sensual sex?
Sensual sex, because I like to feel it. I like to have long sex.
Both, you gotta give to receive.
