Combos 101
A deck of cards consists of 52 cards. When dealing a hand in Texas Hold 'em every player gets two cards, and there are precisely 1326 combinations - "combos" - of starting hands.
This is because the first card is any one of the 52 possible cards, and the second one is any one of the 51 remaining. We multiply 52*51 and get 2652 combinations, but in practise there's no difference between and , so we count them as the same hand, halving it from 2652 to 1326.
Knowing that there are 1326 combos of starting hands is not particularly interesting. What's of interest is the fact that understanding combos means we can infer some juicy stuff about what our opponents are likely to be doing. By developing reads and/or using analytical programs such as Hold'em Manager and PokerTracker, we can have some idea of how our opponent plays certain hands. By looking at the board, we can then make some intelligent guesses as to how likely he is to beat us.
To give a practical example, I want to start by showing what happens when we don't use combos:
$100NL, 6max hold 'em. We open preflop to $6 with on the button, and a tight opponent makes it $13 in the small blind. The big blind folds.
We know, from past play with this opponent, that he only 3-bets his premium hands. This means QQ, KK, AA and AK. Because we know his habits so well, because we're in position and because we are getting a decent price on trying to flop a set and stack him, we call.
The flop is
Our opponent shoves his entire stack in. We know exactly what this means. Somehow, we know that means that he has either QQ, KK or AA, but not AK, because he would make a smaller bet with AK. Should we call?
On the surface, it may seem like there are more hands that beat us than that we can beat. He shoves AA, KK and QQ, and of those three, we can only beat AA. But this is misleading, and this is why combos are important:
Before the flop, the likelyhood of him having KK instead of AA was the same. But after the flop, this is no longer the case, because there's a K on the board. That's one less king that he can have in his hand. Looking only at the pocket kings, before the flop he could have any of these hands:
... but now that the is right there, on the table, he can no longer have any of the combos that include that. Removing those, that leaves us with:
... only three.
We can then use the exact same argument with the pocket queens. Originally, there were six pocket queens that he could have, but now that a queen fell on the flop, there are only three left. What about aces? Well, there's no ace on the board, so all six combos of aces are still "available" to him, and we can therefore conclude this:
He is just as likely to have a hand that we beat as a hand that we don't beat (6 combos of each). Because of the dead money already in the pot, we should therefore call.
Another, slightly more practical example, is when your opponent goes all-in on this board on the river in a big pot:
... and you have
Your opponent could be bluffing. He would also shove with a set.
The only hand that beats you is KQ. And you know (or I do, and am about to tell you) that there are 12 combos of KQ that he can have. Originally, there are 16 combos of KQ (king of hearts which each of the queens, king of spades which each of the queens, etc.), but you have one of the queens in your hand, so he can only have three queens for each of the four kings = 12.
12 combos beat you. How many combos do you beat? Well, the three sets that he could have flopped are "3 per set," i.e. three combos of jacks, three combos of tens and three combos of nines, for a total of 9 combos of sets. Furthermore, he could have the lower end of the straight - 87 - which for the same reason as with KQ there are 12 of.
He can have 12 combos that beat you, and you beat 21 (9+12) combos. And that's not even accounting for the fact that he could be bluffing. Hence, you have an easy call.
So when doing hand analysis, we don't just have to look at "what hands" he can have, and how likely he is to play a certain hand, but also how likely that hand is combinatorically. If he plays AA and KK the same way, and there's a king on the flop, he's twice as likely to have AA than KK - which could be very useful for you to know if you have a lower set.
Short summary of various types of hands (not accounting for cards that you know he can't have):
Pocket pair: 6 combos.
Suited connector (e.g. 87s): 4 combos
Offsuit connector (e.g. 87o): 12 combos
Any hand that doesn't have to be suited and isn't paired (e.g. "KQ"): 16 combos
This is tricker because it assumes stuff about our range. But let's make it easy for me and say "only pocket pairs or broadway cards"
Example flop 1 (dry flop): :Qd:
Sets: 9 (three QQ + three 77 + three 22)
Two pair: None (since Q7 isn't in his range to begin with, neither is 72 or Q2)
Overpairs: 12 (6 KK + 6 AA)
Top pair: 48 (AQ, KQ, QJ and QT, 12 each)
Pairs between 77 and QQ: 24 (eights, nines, tens and jacks, each six combos)
Example flop 2 (wet flop):
Sets: 9
Two pair: 9 (QJ; three queens can mix with three jacks = 3*3 = 9)
Top pair: 36 (AK, KQ, QT, 12 each)
Open-ended straight draws: 16 (KT)
Gutshot straight draws: 16 (AK)
Flushdraws: 3 (AhKh, AhTh,KhTh)
Note: Flushdraws seem rare in this scenario. That's because they are in general. Lesson? Not everyone has a flushdraw every time the flop is twotone.
Discussion and questions are of course welcome.
Edit note: These examples are a bit cumbersome to put in - let me know if you want others added.
And I'm not sure I find the concept all that useful in practice. Like, everyone knows that sets are kinda unlikely, top pair is more likely, ect. And PS uses these ideas to calculate equities & such. But when I'm sitting at a poker table, looking at a flop, I'm not thinking about what kind of hands he can have combinatorically. I'm just narrowing down his range based on his actions.
This post gets to the heart of poker which is "How much equity do I have in this pot & how do I stack up against his range" but for me a lot of this stuff is just intuitive now. Didn't wanna come off mean, or say that this post isn't good. Everyone should read it & take note of the ways hands are distributed. But you certainly shouldn't take this and go "oh, sets aren't likely, and neither are flush draws, so I can get all in here".
No limit poker is 100% about making hands that are statistically unlikely & making your opponents pay to see them.
Now this is new and great stuff....
Could take some time to analyze how many combos we are likely to beat or be beaten with, if you have the software could become handy.
You made some good examples when you had the nuts or really good hands, but what about when you have absolutely nothing say....
your hand: flop:
how many combos we beat?, how many combos we are beat??
what is he likely to have???
Interesting reading but honestly is this fact/theory really useful?
I know that this is just an example but I mean that if you´re going to deep-analyze a hand and stretch as far as counting combos the probability of your opponent holding AA should be just as big as if he was holding AK since both hands are in your opponents "3-bet-category" and if your tight opponent pushes AA on this flop he will push AK as well since any hand that can beat the AK at this stage also beats AA...therefor you might wanna consider the possibility of your opponent holding a set a little bit higher as you said that he would probably not push AK and IMO not AA either.
To make thoughts a bit clearer let me put it this way:
In your example you eliminated the possibility of your opponent pushing AK, I think that if you eliminate that hand you should also eliminate AA and where does that leave us?
6 combos that we can not beat and 0 hands we can beat!?
This is just a thought and I don´t mean to be critical I´m only trying to clear my head :-) as this way of looking at a hand is new to me
re: Poker & Combos 101
The example was obviously manufactured to demonstrate a point. I could have used a more realistic hand, but that would have come at the cost of having the ranged debatable - and a debate on how an opponent plays certain hands is outside of the scope of this thread. I want you to learn the idea of combinations.
But if you want a more realistic example, try this:
$100NL, full stacks. You have AK. Your opponent raises preflop to $4, you raise to $15, he re-raises all-in. We expect this to be QQ, KK, AA or AK, and neither of them more likely than the other (please don't debate this point, because it isn't important for this thread). Should you call?
You can chuck it into PokerStove and find out, but you can also think about card removal effects. Yes, AA and KK and QQ are all as "likely" in the sense that he would play them the same way, but because you have an ace and a king in your hand, that makes him only half as likely to have AA as QQ.
Or you have AJ on a J-6-6 flop, after raising in middle position and being called by the tight player on the button. You bet the flop and your opponent raises. Are you beat? How many hands beat you?

Slots of Fun (T.K. McGuirt) + Plastic Ponies (Julie Shapiro)
COLUMBUS DAY in the Land of the Round Haircut, along with the usual BIRTHDAYS-IN-BLUE
Kinshasha talked with Minneapolis resident Erica Rivera about her new book, "INSATIABLE": A Young Mother's Struggle with Anorexia.
"Insatiable" examines the relationship between mothers, daughters and food. In a nation obsessed with diets, yet growing more obese by the year, Erica asks the question: what is it we're really hungry for?
At the peak of her disease, Erica no longer menstruated. She saw spots when she stood up. Her lower legs were covered in bruises and she felt comatose. Yet it wasn't until her little daughters began to imitate her behavior around food that Erica began the climb back to health, through therapy and writing.

Got an idea? Turn it into a memorized, 18-minute speech told in a compelling manner that is both locally relevant and globally applicable. Now deliver this talk in front of cameras and 1,000 people seated before you, plus another 30,000 live-streaming your speech online. Nervous?
This fall, 16 Torontonians will face such a predicament when they're called onstage, one by one, to speak at the fourth annual TEDxToronto conference, held Oct. 26 at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts.
"Am I nervous? Definitely," says speaker Sonya Barnett, one of two founders of SlutWalk, a march first held in Toronto in April, 2011, in protest of the notion that women invite rape and abuse by dressing provocatively. Since the idea was first hatched, more than 200 countries have held SlutWalks worldwide. At their talk, Ms. Barnett and co-founder Heather Jarvis plan to discuss "what it means to be a slut."
Other speakers announced this week include public-space advocate and writer Shawn Micallef; University of Toronto political science professor and director of the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies, Ronald Deibert; and biomedical engineer and leader of the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation, Joseph Cafazzo.
All are busy writing speeches that address the theme of this year's conference – alchemy: How single ideas and stories can combine to create something much larger, says TEDxToronto co-chair Afshin Mousavian.
"It's a fitting theme for Toronto, given our diversity and how so many cultures are living together and mixing and combining."
TEDxToronto is one of many satellite versions of TED (an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, Design), a now-world- famous non-profit speaker series based in California. The event earned its high-profile status not only by showcasing candid storytelling from both unknown and known speakers – including Melinda Gates, who, countering her own religious beliefs, talked about why birth control should be an absolute right for everyone – but by making these talks widely accessible online, free of charge, on YouTube and ted.com.
A far cry from the canned speeches of CEOs ("work smarter, not harder") or the Hallmark sentimentality of a Tony Robbins wannabe, TED talks are sometimes controversial, often contrarian and always compelling. "It's about allowing yourself to be vulnerable by telling your story," says Darius Bashar, chair of programming at TEDxToronto.
At last year's conference, physician Brian Goldman from Brockville, Ont., told the crowd he wasn't sure how they were going to feel about him after his speech. "He walks on stage and admits that two people are no longer living because of his actions," says Mr. Mousavian. Dr. Goldman's point: Health professionals sometimes make mistakes, and by admitting this and talking about it, we'll be better off.
"About two of our talks are picked up by ted.com each year," says Mr. Bashar, including last year's talk by Dr. Goldman, which has now been watched by approximately one million viewers. "People watch these videos and think, Toronto is an innovative place with unique ideas."
That TEDxToronto has grown from a small event watched by 100 people four years ago into this city's biggest, best-known speaker series, is largely testament to the unpaid team of volunteers behind the event, mostly twentysomethings with résumés equally divided between charity work and new-media expertise. Mr. Bashar is a film producer and Mr. Mousavian a product manager at design firm Jet Cooper.
"When people hear I do this for free, they're shocked," says Mr. Bashar, who begins planning the event in early February, working off a whiteboard list of more than 100 potential speakers. "The first year, nearly 50 per cent of them declined, but last year only one said no, and that was because she couldn't make it that day," says Mr. Bashar.
The team works intensely with each confirmed speaker, turning the speech into a well-honed, completely memorized and personal story. "Already I'm realizing a TED talk requires much more work than my other speaking engagements," says Dr. Cafazzo, who will discuss the future of healthcare and how patients can lessen their dependence on the system – or, patient, heal thyself.
Dr. Cafazzo knows he could try to earn a spot at other Toronto speaking events, ones that would pay him dearly for his talk. But, says Dr. Cafazzo, "I don't think anyone matches the reach of TED. [It's] become the most accessible science and medicine forum. People are talking about the future of cancer care because they heard about it through TED. They're even on Netflix."
This year, TEDxToronto hopes to become the first TED affiliate to attach a $20,000 fund to one speaker's idea, turning it from words into action. Should Mr. Micallef win, Toronto could quickly become a much different place.
"I've been thinking about the suburbs and downtown divide," says Mr. Micallef. "You've got a deputy mayor saying he wouldn't raise a family downtown. But I think this divide is politically driven and artificial, and could be overcome."
How so? That's Mr. Micallef's task. "In the very least, [TED] will give me the opportunity to overcome some of the dumb things I've said."

Mountain Basilisk

|Mountain Basilisk
|Weapon Used
|Large Bite
|Caves, Mountains, Ruins
|Number Encountered
- For other uses of Basilisk, see Basilisk (disambiguation)
The Mountain Basilisk is an extremely rare creature, of which there has only been one recorded encounter: by the adventurer who slew the Night Dragon.[1]
Origins and DistributionEdit
It is presumably related to normal Basilisks, being a superior strain of descendants of the original Basilisk, though it is considerably stronger and much more cunning.
A Mountain Basilisk measures over four metres from snout to tail, being much darker than its desert-dwelling relatives and obviously more powerful. It appeared to have developed night vision, enabling it to move through the darkness of its subterranean home without impediment, as well as great resilience to harmful substances such as natural gas, given that it dwelt in an abandoned mine with considerable quantities of it.[2]
Special AbilitiesEdit
The Mountain Basilisk retains the petrifying ability of its lesser cousins, requiring each of its victims to Test their Luck to avoid looking into its eyes and turning to stone. However, unlike regular Basilisks, it appears to be too intelligent to look into a mirror or other reflective device and be turned to stone itself.
Further NotesEdit
- Mountain Basilisks appear to possess an incredible control over their petrifying ability, since the Dwarf community which the only recorded one invaded was not entirely turned to stone. Instead, they were left with a measure of mobility, permitting them to move around and speak, but in much the same fashion as a Stone Golem or some other Construct.
- This curse could apparently only be lifted fully by actually causing the petrification of the Mountain Basilisk itself using a Magic Mirror, otherwise resulting in continued stiffness and general slowness.

Italian police have raided a Barclays office in Milan, seizing documents as part of an inquiry into alleged rigging of European interest rates.
The latest blow to the bank's reputation comes amid reports that the Serious Fraud Office is moving to bring criminal charges for the Libor-fixing affair.
Barclays paid a £290m fine for its role in the scandal, and is so far the only bank to be punished
The bank was already the subject of scrutiny in Italy, with four of its top executives there awaiting trial in two separate cases. One of them involves alleged dubious lending practices, the other is over an alleged tax evasion scheme.
The defendants include Vittorio Maria De Stasio, who headed Barclays Italia. The bank is now said to be looking at selling its Italian branches.
Barclays is without a chief executive after the sudden departure of Bob Diamond after the Bank of England made it clear it no longer had confidence in him.

text: Congresswoman talks tax credits in Derry Posted on November 1, 2013 Posted in Great Schools, Legislative Update, Member Activity, NH Public Education By Julie Huss firstname.lastname@example.com DERRY — U.S. Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter paid Derry a visit Monday to talk about a plan to extend a tax break for teachers who buy classroom supplies out of their own pockets. She is part of a bipartisan effort to keep the tax credit in place for teachers. The Reimburse Educators Who Pay for Academic Year Supplies Act of 2013, or REPAY Supplies Act, would permanently extend the Classroom Expense Deduction, a $250 tax deduction offered to teachers who pay with their own money to buy supplies to help support their classrooms. This popular above-the-line deduction is available to all teachers and is set to expire at the end of 2013. Above-the-line deductions are those that cab be subtracted to reduce adjusted gross income, which determines how much tax is owed. Shea-Porter's legislation comes after Derry teacher Margaret Morse-Barry sent a letter this summer, urging the congresswoman to look into extending the tax break. "You never know where a letter is going to take you," Morse-Barry said during Shea-Porter's visit. "I've purchased tissues, hand sanitizer, pencils, papers and markers,and I'm not alone in that." She said many, many teachers reach into their own wallets to support their classrooms when there might not be enough in the budget to pay for extras. "People spend hundreds to do this," she said. Morse-Barry has taken advantage of the $250 tax credit since 2002 and said teachers appreciate the amount they can save. Derry School Board Chairman Brenda Willis said teachers are always paying for supplies with their own money. Schools and staff also support community efforts to fill backpacks with school supplies every year. "We also have eight fabulous PTAs that are very supportive of the schools and classes and their needs," she said. Shea-Porter said making the tax credit permanent means it would remain in place for educators to use at tax time even if they don't itemize their deductions. Her legislation has been endorsed by the National Education Association, New Hampshire chapter; the American Federation of Teachers, New Hampshire chapter, New Hampshire School Administrators Association; and a host of national education organizations. Shea-Porter said there is a lot of support in Washington. "I'm optimistic," she said. "It's not an enormous amount of money, but it does help. I expect it will pass." The congresswoman said extending the tax credit is something that would mean a lot to a lot of teachers. "Everybody knows someone that's a teacher," she said. "You don't have to make an argument, that's an easy sell."

The Detroit Lions look to turn things around after last season's disappointing 4-12 record.
Camp Observations:
Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley have been virtually unblockable during the practices.
Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson have picked up where they left off last season. We expect big things from both of them this year.
New RB Reggie Bush has been impressive with both his receiving skills and his toughness while running through tackles.
During the Lions first pre-season game, prized rookie Ezekiel Ansah made a great play picking off a pass from Jets QB Mark Sanchez and taking it to the house.
Another rookie who's lighting it up is Darius Slay. He's making a strong case for one of the starting CB spots.

Hawa Mahal is a renowned monument constructed by Sawai Pratap Singh, the poet king of Jaipur in 1799. The five storied building located near the Johari Bazaar is made of red and pink sandstone. The structure was designed by Lal Chand Usta and has more than 950 windows. The palace was built for the women of the palace so that they could enjoy the view of royal processions through the jali screens. There is an archaeological museum located in the building.

The present study aims at an initial understanding of the molecular nature and functional significance of this as yet ill-defined antigen. Using isoelectric focusing, both the 46- and 48-kDa isoforms of NeuN can be separated in multiple spots… (More)


text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 252322 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 622 PM CDT Thu May 25 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 620 PM CDT Thu May 25 2017 Please see the 00Z Aviation Discussion below. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 325 PM CDT Thu May 25 2017 Surface ridge axis covered much of the forecast area at 20Z. A lake breeze had worked inland along the north and south shores of Lake Superior and has eroded much of the cloud cover from earlier. Elsewhere, plenty of cumulus clouds were found. Some higher clouds were moving into from the west. Expect the clouds to fill back in and to become more widespread through the night ahead of the well advertised system for the weekend. Some showers are expected with the first wave of energy in the Red River Valley at 20Z. These showers will be isolated in nature initially as it has to overcome the dry air that is in place due to the departing high. The next round of showers arrives on Friday with some isolated thunderstorms possible in the afternoon. This activity will be associated with a bit stronger vorticity maxima that will eject from the closed upper low in Manitoba. There are model differences with the timing of this round of showers and storms, as well as the coverage and the amount of QPF. Used a blended approach for Friday to account for these differences. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 325 PM CDT Thu May 25 2017 The main focus of the extended is an upper level cutoff that will slowly rotate from central Manitoba Friday evening into central Ontario by late Sunday night. The cutoff then will slide eastward to the Ontario/Quebec border by mid week. Multiple shortwaves will rotate around the cutoff and eject into the Northland. This will bring scattered rain showers through much of the holiday weekend, but it does not look like any days will be a washout. Friday evening, Sunday afternoon/evening and Monday afternoon have the best chance of thunderstorms as there will be a few hundred to 1500 J/kg of MUCAPE combined with strong forcing. A cold front will slide through Friday evening providing the forcing necessary for thunderstorm development, while Sunday and Monday will mainly be due to surface troughs swinging through from the surface low located over Ontario. Cannot completely rule out thunderstorms on Saturday as there is still some instability to work with, but the surface low will be located well the north of the region. Think that the forcing is too weak for thunderstorm development, so opted to keep out a thunder mention on Saturday. Conditions will remain dry for much of Saturday with shower chances increasing late in the afternoon/evening as a shortwave digs in from the Eastern Dakotas. Expect the mildest readings on Saturday with temperatures generally in the 60s and 70s due to 8 to 10 degree Celsius 850 hPa air advecting into the region. Cooler readings are expected for the rest of the holiday as flow turns northwest at 850 hPa advecting colder air into the region. 850 hPa temperatures range from 0 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius. Highs on Sunday range from the upper 50s to upper 60s, while Memorial Day and Tuesday highs will be the 50s and low 60s. Low temperatures through the extended period will be in the 40s. Mid to late next week a ridge axis will build into the Northern Plains from the Pacific Northwest. At this point there are still timing and strength differences between guidance with the incoming high and exiting system. Flow aloft will become more westerly, which will bring warmer temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the 60s and low 70s. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 620 PM CDT Thu May 25 2017 A frontal boundary will slide across Minnesota through the evening and overnight hours providing a lifting mechanism for the development of rain showers. Expecting ceilings to lower in response to the rain showers with MVFR conditions for all locations. Like previous discussion feel the potential for thunderstorms is still too low to be included for the 18Z through 00Z period on Friday though it still remains a possibility. Will add in accordingly with latest results from 00Z model runs for 06Z TAF issuance. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Occupy Denver: Charges dropped, lowered for protesters arrested for robbery, assault
In March, four Occupy Denver protesters were accused of robbery and second-degree assault during an incident at the 1500 block of Broadway. According to the police report, the four allegedly knocked down a skateboarder and stole his board. Yesterday, however, the city dismissed robbery charges against three of the arrestees, Caryn Sodaro, James Stacey and Kenny White. Not that they're entirely off the hook.
These three still face charges of second degree assault for "serious bodily" injury to the skateboarder's face. So, too, does Daniel Newman, whose robbery accusation is still pending as well.
Michael Seymour, arrested at the same time, is formally charged with being an accessory to the crime. For more information on all five arrests, see our original coverage.
This is not the only Occupy Denver-related case to be altered in recent weeks. Changes have also been made regarding the prosecution of Thunderdome cooks Corey Donahue and Patrick Marsden, arrested on March 12 for investigation of felony assault on a police officer.

During the incident, the two are alleged to have run toward a parked police car and tried to pull its driver out while shouting insults. Both were pepper-sprayed before being arrested. "After handcuffing Donahue, we sat him up at which time he continued threatening me by stating, 'It was going to be funny when your families are slaughtered in the street,'" the officer wrote in the event's probable cause statement. "He then stated he knew where we all live and our families were going to be slaughtered. I asked Donahue if he was threatening me, and he stated, 'Yeah, so fucking what.'"
Since then, however, the original felony charges against Donahue and Marsden have been lowered to a series of misdemeanors: obstructing a peace officer, obstructing government operations, harassment and menacing.

Best-Selling Author Elle Rush Releases, "Cuban Moon"!
Books To Go Now is happy to announce Cuban Moon, Book 2 in the Resort Romances Series is a hit!
The second story in the Resort Romance sweet romance series.
If you're obliged to attend a family event, there are worse options than a tropical destination wedding in February.
Lisa Kleyson, representing the bride, didn't intend to hook up with anybody while on her first Caribbean vacation ever, but when she lays eyes on the groom's brother, her best laid plans go out the window. She knows she's not doctor's wife material … but he's not on duty.
Dr. Hank Anderson, representing the groom, will do his duty to his brother but he'd much rather be spending time with the music teacher who's caught his eye. It's nice to be the one doing the chasing instead of fending off women who want to take advantage of his position.
Hank's pursuit is booby-trapped with a stalking maid-of-honor, a Gilligan-worthy boat tour and bad crab cakes but he is determined to catch Lisa and convince her to start a romance under the Cuban moon.

Birk was a sixth-round draft pick in 1998 and, despite apprehension from fans, then-offensive line coach Mike Tice said the Vikings would be fine with Christy's replacement. Christy had been allowed to leave via free agency and signed a deal with Tampa Bay. Fast forward 10 years and the same scenario appears to be playing itself out. Birk is gone, the fans are dismayed and another sixth-round draft pick, John Sullivan, who is a relative unknown to the hometown fans is ready to step into the spotlight.
"That's why when guys do leave or retire or whatever happens, you have to have young guys eventually those guys have to step up and play," said Rick Spielman, Vikings vice president of player personnel, on Friday. "And we thought Sullivan was a very good player last year in the preseason, felt for where we drafted him in the sixth round he was a great value pick. He came in, a very smart kid, understands the scheme, understands what's going on. And, again, just like any rookie or first-year guy who has been playing, I'm sure there will be some growing pains but eventually they have to play, they have to get out there and learn and do it. And that doesn't preclude us from saying that we bring in a player there or a player like we would at any other position. We're always going to bring in the best players and I think when you do bring in the best players you let them compete. It makes your team that much better when everybody is trying to push each other."
John Sullivan didn't see any action as a rookie and spent most of his time on the scout team. He was just the second of only three centers drafted in 2008 and, after just one season on the bench, it would appear the Vikings are going to go with him as their new center.
While center is a critical position, history has taught us that a solid technician can fill that role without a significant drop-off in production. While we will have to wait and see whether Sullivan or former college center Ryan Cook can get the job done, there is confidence that Birk's role on the offensive line can be replaced. When Birk's career started, there were many of the same apprehensions fans and media are having now about replacing him. He did just fine as Christy's replacement and the expectation is that Sullivan will repeat that part of the equation as well.
"First of all, Matt Birk not only was an excellent player here for the Vikings, but even a better person out in the community in what he did. Those are tough decisions," Spielman said. "I'm sure Matt and his family had to go through a decision. But I know he will always be a part of the Viking family here. Matt made his decision based on what he felt was best for him and his family at the time and I know our organization wishes him nothing but the best."

text: Hello, First of all, hello all. I'm new to this forum. I really hope you can help me with this annoying problem. Whenerver I do RIGHTBUTTON > PROPERTIES on an mp3 file it automatically starts playing that file from an instance of windows media player that is embeded in the very properties pane, But when I check (using lockhunter) to see which program is using the file, lockhunter shows "windows explorer" as the file playing it, not windows media player. This leads me to think maybe win 7 has the media player integrated somehaow into windows explorer. I have not been able to find any way or option to remove this extremely annoying behavior. What makes it even more annoying is that in order to stop playing the file I necessarily have to press stop. If I just close the properties pane without pressing stop the file keeps playing anyway, and once I have closed the properties pane, and the file is playing, the ONLY way to stop it is by using lockhunter to unlock it. If a file is already playing from the properties pane -as explained above- and I do RIGHTBUTTON > PROPERTIES on the same file or another file, this happens again and both files plays simultaneously. In the specific case that I do RIGHTBUTTON > PROPERTIES on a file and then close the properties pane without pressing stop and -as explained above- the file keeps playing If I again do RIGHBUTTON > PROPERTIES on the SAME file, it starts playing again and I hear two "instances" playing NOT IN SYNC. I guess it is obvious how annoying this is. I have not been able to find any option neither in windows explorer nor in media player to disable this. I have all "autoplay" options disabled. I really hope, you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Genetic linkage maps are invaluable resources in plant research. They provide a key tool for many genetic applications including: mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL); comparative mapping; identifying unlinked (
The composite map totalled 1107 cM and contained 4101 markers; comprising 3880 DArT, 213 microsatellite and eight candidate genes. Eighty-one DArT markers were mapped to two or more linkage groups, resulting in the 4101 markers being mapped to 4191 map positions. Approximately 13% of DArT markers mapped to identical map positions, thus the composite map contained 3634 unique loci at an average interval of 0.31 cM.
The composite map represents the most saturated linkage map yet produced in
Genetic linkage maps are valuable resources which can be used to provide a framework for many genomic analyses. Linkage maps can be used to investigate the organisation and evolution of genomes through comparative mapping
Grattapaglia and Sederoff
Many early eucalypt linkage maps were constructed using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) molecular markers
Recent advances in molecular methods have led to high-throughput genotyping systems being developed [e.g.
At present, DArT markers have been used to construct linkage maps in seven independent
All DArT marker based linkage maps were constructed using the program JoinMap 4.0
In this study, a marker-merging method was used to construct a high-density DArT and microsatellite marker composite linkage map from seven independently constructed maps. Recent comparative mapping analyses using 236 to 393 markers shared between three of the maps [see
The following terms are used to describe the various types of linkage maps reported in this paper; (1) sex-averaged map – a consensus of individually constructed male and female maps, built in a single family using segregation data from both parents, (2) consensus map – a consensus of multiple individually constructed male and female maps, built in multiple families (e.g. F2 double-pseudo backcross) using segregation data from all of the families, and (3) composite map – an integrated map of multiple sex-averaged and/or consensus maps, built using a marker-merging method.
Component maps
The composite map was built using an
Before building the composite map, marker names were standardised across maps, homologous linkage groups were identified using common (anchor) loci and marker colinearity between component maps was visually inspected in MapChart
The number of markers included for composite map construction ranged from 498 (GLOB-F1-4) to 2290 (GU-SA; Table
Composite map construction
The composite linkage map was constructed at Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) Pty Ltd (Canberra, Australia) using specially developed R scripts which merged component map markers into the composite map based on their relative map positions. The
Composite map features
Following composite map construction, marker-order correlations between composite and component map linkage groups were calculated in SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, USA) using the PROC CORR Spearman function. To test whether multicopy markers were distributed equally across linkage groups, a
Composite map details
A total of 4101 individual markers, comprising 3880 DArT markers, eight gene-based markers and 213 microsatellite markers were included in the composite map. The composite map totalled 1107 cM which was within the range of component map lengths (1033–1258 cM; Table

The number of multicopy DArT marker positions on each linkage group ranged from 5 to 24 and represented 1.9-6.4% of the total number of DArT markers mapped per linkage group (Table

Composite map construction
Data from seven component maps were integrated into a single composite map which represents the highest density map yet produced in
Utility of the composite map
As sequences are available for the majority of DArT markers on the map (91%; data not shown), the composite map provides a direct link to the
Over half (53%) of the markers placed in the composite map originated from a single component map (
A key use of the composite map will be for comparison of QTL and candidate gene positions detected across variable genetic backgrounds and/or environments in different studies. This has previously been limited due to a lack of common markers being shared between maps
As in all linkage mapping studies, it is important to consider both the quality of the map produced and any specific map characteristics. In the alignment of 6480 DArT marker sequences against the
The marker-merging method used in this study took advantage of the fact that individual component maps were constructed using high marker-ordering stringency which resulted in linkage maps having robust marker-orders
The composite map will be most useful for studies involving species from subgenus
Future marker integration
A number of recent studies have focussed on the development of molecular markers for use in eucalypts. In addition to the DArT genotyping array developed for use in eucalypts
The integration of markers from seven individual genetic linkage pedigrees has resulted in a composite, reference map for eucalypts with 4101 DArT and microsatellite markers

Investigations with modern investigative techniques have clarified considerably the role of bacteria and viruses in the pathogenesis of exacerbations of COPD. Application of polymerase chain reaction-based methods for detection has shown that viral nucleic acids are present in respiratory secretions in 30 to 50% of exacerbations.1–2 Furthermore, these studies used sputum samples, rather than nasopharyngeal samples, as was done in previous studies, providing us with confidence that direct viral infection of the tracheobronchial tree is responsible for the exacerbation. Application of molecular epidemiology has demonstrated that acquisition of new strains of bacteria is critical to the pathogenesis of bacterial exacerbations.3– Other investigations4–5 have shown that specific immune responses and a neutrophilic inflammatory process accompany bacterial exacerbations. Typical and atypical bacterial pathogens are now implicated in up to 50% of exacerbations.
