Tuesday's column reviewed the successful prediction by Stephen Saxby of Oct. 4, 1869. It was called "Saxby's Gale" and was based on the position of the moon relative to the Earth. Storm season is under way for the Canadian Maritimes and the coastal sections of the Northeast. Even though storms are predicted by the climatology of the region, Saxby's scenario repeated itself in October 2002 as the Earth and the moon were in a similar configuration with Hurricane Lili. On another occasion, a similar alignment occurred March 8, 1993. It was titled the East coast "Superstorm" and killed hundreds, produced widespread snowfall and logged record-low pressure readings. The system went from the Florida Panhandle through central Massachusetts into Maine in 24 hours.

Not Your Town: Point Rest, Missouri
The name Point Rest, found on maps of Perry County, definitely lives up to its name. It's very restful. In fact, there's absolutely nothing here except a levee and a couple gravel roads.
Point Rest was never very big, but it did have a post office (from 1891-1940), a store, and a river landing. However, floods along the Mississippi, especially in 1927, took their toll on Point Rest and many other settlements in Perry County.
This map from a 1920s Rand McNally atlas shows many names along the river that no longer exist: Marie, Grand Eddy, Killian, Wilkinson, Seventy Six, Starland, Pit, and Gerler. Older maps from the late 1800s show even more placenames. Meanwhile, towns such as Wittenberg, Belgique, and Claryville were prosperous at one time but are hanging on by a thread today.
The flatland along the river opposite Chester, Illinois, is known as the Bois Brule Bottom, from the French phrase for "burned woods." Surrounded by tall hills on both sides, it's quite a scenic area.
When I visited on April 5, the henbit was on full display in the fields. Henbit is a weed, but it's a pretty weed.
The Bois Brule Levee surrounds the area, protecting it from the Mississippi River and its tributaries, Cinque Hommes Creek and Bois Brule Creek. A gravel road runs the length of the levee, making for a nice drive on a sunny spring day.
At the southern end of the Bois Brule, it's still possible to see the damage caused by the Sept. 22, 2006, tornado that ripped through Crosstown before heading across the Mississippi. The twister destroyed trees along entire hillsides.
If you take the levee road to the north, toward Chester, you will suddenly enter into Illinois -- without crossing a single bridge. A small piece of Illinois now sits on the Missouri side of the river at a place called Crains Island. The river shifted course since the state lines were surveyed, leaving a piece of Randolph County, Illinois, on the "wrong" side.
In this photo, the foreground is part of Missouri while the background is Illinois. At least, that's what my maps show -- there's absolutely no indication of the border crossing from the road.
The topographic map of the area is quite strange. I'm not sure how a state line could have an "indefinite boundary" on dry land, but that's what happens here.
Similar border anomolies, known as "avulsions," can be found all along the Mississippi River, with the most well-known located at Kaskaskia, Illinois. I'll have more on these in future blogs.
Driving directions
From Cape Girardeau, take Highway 61 north to Perryville. Just after reaching the city limits, turn right on Route E (Allens Landing Road) and follow it for several miles until you cross Bois Brule Creek and the railroad tracks. Here the road meets the levee, with the Bois Brule Bottom on the other side. You can explore in any direction -- left, right, or straight -- but I'd suggest turning right on the levee road (marked as County Road 354 here) and following it for as many miles as you want to drive. This will take you to Menfro, followed by the southern tip of the floodplain, and then back around to the north before reaching Point Rest (or what's left of it). [Google map]
You can also reach the Bois Brule by taking Route C from Fruitland to Menfro via Altenburg. Highway 51 from Perryville toward Chester is another option, but not quite as interesting.

UCI Professor: Mexicans Most Successful Immigrant Group in the United States
In news that will undoubtedly be accepted by all American and lead to widespread acceptance of Mexicans in the U.S. and everything that they do, a UC Irvine sociology professor recently wrote an essay proclaiming her findings: Mexicans are the most successful immigrant group in the United States.
That's the claim made by Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at UCI, in an essay she published on Zócalo Public Square and reprinted online at Time.com.
"There is no question that, when we measure success as progress from generation to generation, Mexican-Americans come out ahead," she writes, presenting research she and a UCLA professor worked on published for a project called "Immigration and Intergenerational Mobility in Metropolitan Los Angeles," a multidisciplinary effort worked on by a chingo of UCI scholars.
The study's rationale is simple, if a bit misleading: instead of measuring the accomplishments of immigrants and their children by end result, Lee and her colleagues instead examined by how much achievement was accomplished from generation to generation--in other words, the Vietnamese kid who ended up being a pharmacist but came from refugee parents with a college education is actually less successful than the Mexican bank teller with a bachelor's in Robo-American studies whose parents never went to high school at all.
"A colleague of mine illustrated this point with a baseball analogy: Most Americans would be more impressed by someone who made it to second base starting from home plate than someone who ended up on third base, when their parents started on third base," Lee writes. "But because we tend to focus strictly on outcomes when we talk about success and mobility, we fail to acknowledge that the third base runner didn't have to run far at all." You can read Lee's full essay here. Will no doubt change hearts and minds, right?

Analytical and biological variability are issues of central importance to human metabolomics studies. Here both types of variation are examined in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using a global liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) metabolomics strategy. The platform shows small analytical variation with a median coefficient of variation (CV) of 15–16% for both plasma and CSF sample matrices when the integrated area of each peak in the mass spectra is considered. Analysis of biological variation shows that human CSF has a median CV of 35% and plasma has a median CV of 46%. To understand the difference in CV between the biofluids, we compared plasma and CSF independently obtained from different healthy humans. Additionally, we analyzed another group of patients from whom we compared matched CSF and plasma (plasma and CSF obtained from the same human subject). A similar number of features was observed in both biofluids, although the majority of features appeared with greater intensity in plasma. More than a dozen metabolites shared between the human CSF and plasma metabolomes were identified based on accurate mass measurements, retention times, and MS/MS spectra. The fold change in these metabolites was consistent with the median biological CV determined for all peaks. The measured median biological CV together with analysis of intra-group variation of healthy individuals suggests that fold changes above 2 in metabolomics studies investigating plasma or CSF are statistically relevant with respect to the inherent variability of a healthy control group. These data demonstrate the reproducibility of the global metabolomics platform using LC/MS and reveal the robustness of the approach for biomarker discovery.
The application of mass spectrometry to metabolomics is rapidly increasing1–6, primarily because mass spectrometry makes it possible to detect and measure a variety of small biological molecules over a wide dynamic range.7–10 Targeted mass spectrometry-based metabolite assays are currently widespread in clinical diagnoses, including screening neonates for metabolic disorders, diagnosing over 200 organic acidemias, and detecting over 30 other disorders of metabolism resulting in small molecule deregulation.11 Global (untargeted) metabolomics, which focuses on the identification of detectable metabolite changes between different phenotypes using comparative analyses, may be particularly useful for the discovery of new disease biomarkers.12–16
The strength of global metabolomics lies in the discovery phase: that is, the potential to detect and identify unanticipated changes in metabolite profiles which are characteristic of, for example, a disease state. For diseases that are difficult to diagnose or for which the biochemical mechanism is unknown, this information can provide new diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Metabolomic profiles measured by using global approaches have recently uncovered potential urinary markers for prostate cancer progression17 and have led to the generation of specific, testable biochemical hypotheses.18, 19 Early diagnostic biomarkers may be especially useful for neurodegenerative diseases, in which damage to the tissue of the central nervous system (CNS) may occur long before noticeable symptoms develop. Diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the CNS can be difficult, and are complicated by the fact that many diseases lack specific diagnostic tests.20, 21 Although blood is the most commonly used biofluid for clinical chemistry diagnoses due to the minimally-invasive nature of its collection, its rich metabolome, and its reflection of the metabolic state of the entire organism, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may represent a better source of metabolites for diseases of the CNS since it is closer in proximity to the tissue of disease origin and may better represent its neurochemical state.
We present a global metabolomics method applicable to biofluid analysis and validate its reproducibility for disease biomarker discovery using human plasma and human CSF. This approach combines LC/MS with XCMS, an open-source software program designed for non-linear retention-time alignment and integration of untargeted metabolomics data. These experiments establish the analytical variation of a global metabolomics strategy based on mass spectrometry for two unique and complex matrices; human plasma and CSF. Key difficulties of untargeted metabolomics approaches are the variability within sample groups and the identification of metabolites. More than a dozen metabolites were identified using the METLIN mass spectral metabolite database in combination with accurate mass measurements and MS/MS. The variation of these metabolites between individuals was quantified in both human plasma and CSF, and the CV analysis for all features reported by XCMS shows that human CSF has less variation compared to human plasma in healthy individuals.
Independent sets of healthy human plasma and CSF were received from the Department of Neurobiology, the Scripps Research Institute. The samples were stored at −80 °C until extraction. A procedure for metabolite extraction from human plasma using a methanol protein precipitation protocol was described previously22 and was adapted for CSF sample preparation. For each individual sample, four volumes of ice-cold methanol were added to one volume of plasma or CSF, immediately vortexed for 45 seconds, and left to precipitate at −20 °C for one hour. Samples were then centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4 °C and the supernatants were transferred to fresh vials. Centrifugation was repeated to ensure complete removal of precipitated protein. The supernatant was dried in a SpeedVac without heat and subsequently re-suspended to one half of the original CSF volume in an aqueous solution of 5% acetonitrile. Samples were stored at 80 °C until LC/MS analysis. Immediately prior to the experiments, samples were thawed and vortexed for 30 seconds. During analysis, samples were maintained at 6 °C in a thermostatted autosampler.
Experiments were performed with an electrospray-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ESI-TOF; Agilent 1100 LC, TOF 6210) operating in positive mode. Chromatographic separation was performed using a reverse phase C18 column (Zorbax SB-300 C18 Capillary 5μm, 0.5 × 150 mm; Agilent Technologies). The capillary pump flow rate was 9 μL/min. Mobile-phase A was water with 0.1% formic acid and mobile-phase B was acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid. An injection volume of 8 uL of extracted sample was used for each run with the following method: 5-minute isocratic hold at 5% B; 45-minute linear gradient from 5% to 95% B; 5-minute isocratic hold at 95% B; 10-minute isocratic hold at 5% B. Between runs a wash step was used to minimize carry over consisting of a 12-minute linear gradient from 5% to 95% B; 3-minute isocratic hold at 95% B; 2-minute return to 5% B; 8-minute isocratic hold at 5% B.
LC/MS data were processed using XCMS, open-source software developed in our lab, which can be freely downloaded as an R package (http://masspec.scripps.edu/xcms/xcms.php).23 XCMS applies a non-linear retention time correction, performs peak-picking, and matches peaks across runs. It reports integrated areas of each detected peak in individual samples and calculates the Welch's t-test for two sample groups. Features are listed in a file containing their integrated intensities (extracted ion chromatographic peak areas), observed fold changes across the two sample groups, and t-test p-values, for each sample. XCMS parameters were specified as steps = 2, step = 0.01, method = binlinbase, and fwhm = 50, unless otherwise specified. Multivariate PCA analysis was performed with SIMCA-P (version 11, Umetrics) using the complete metabolomics datasets (.tsv files), plotting PCA dimensions 1 and 2.
Metabolites were identified based on accurate mass, retention time, and matching the MS/MS spectra of unknowns to standard model compounds. Some glycerophosphocholines and acylcarnitines were identified in the absence of available standards. In these cases, glycerophosphocholines were identified through accurate mass and MS/MS product ions m/z 104 and m/z 184. Acylcarnitines were identified through accurate mass, a MS/MS product ion of m/z 85, and a neutral loss of m/z 59. MS/MS spectra of all other standards are present in the METLIN database (http://metlin.scripps.edu/).24 MS/MS experiments were performed on a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (Q-TOF; Agilent 6510) with collision energy set to 20 eV.
The study was designed to determine the reproducibility of the LC/MS platform and the data analysis scheme for metabolomic profiling of human biofluids for disease biomarker detection. Figure 1 illustrates the experimental workflow of the global metabolomics strategy. After LC/MS analysis of biofluid extracts, XCMS performs non-linear retention time alignment and integrates the peak areas of all detected features. The peak areas are used to statistically analyze metabolite changes between two or more phenotypic groups. Metabolites of interest are then identified using a MS/MS strategy based on comparison of the MS/MS spectra from the unknown compound to the MS/MS spectra of standard model compounds, the data for which are freely available in the METLIN metabolite database. Positive identification is based on accurate mass, matching retention times between unknown and the standard, and a match between the unknown MS/MS spectrum and that of the standard compound.
The discovery and identification of disease biomarkers based on metabolomics is a growing field.25, 26 The success of these studies depends on the selection of a suitable sample group and on the reproducibility of measurements. Here we examine the analytical reproducibility of the global LC/MS-based metabolomics approach and use this approach to compare the metabolite profiles of human plasma and CSF for several groups of individuals.
The importance of statistical strategies in metabolomics has been the subject of recent reviews27 discussing several data-analysis tools, including XCMS.23, 28–33 Pooled human plasma and human CSF extracts were used to assess the analytical variability of the LC/MS platform and XCMS analysis procedure. Plasma samples from individual patients were pooled together to create representative average samples. The CSF samples were similarly pooled. Analytical replicates of a pooled sample of plasma or CSF were then run in a series of injections, each separated by a shorter run serving to wash and re-equilibrate the column, to evaluate analytical variability. The first five samples were injected to condition the system prior to the series of sample injections and the data from the conditioning injections were not included in the analysis. A principle component analysis showed that conditioning of the system greatly improved the reproducibility of the leading sample injections. This trend has been previously reported and Zelena et al. have shown that the number of injections required to condition the system may vary for different biofluids.34 The data were processed with XCMS independently for each biofluid, which detected approximately 5,300 features in the human plasma replicates and 4,900 features in the human CSF replicates in the mass range of m/z 100 to m/z 1000. We estimate the number of distinct metabolites to be substantially less than the number of detected features, since a single metabolite may give rise to multiple mass spectral peaks, including the molecular ion, in-source fragments, adducts, and dimers, and each of these is reported in XCMS as a separate peak, or "feature". Additionally, there will be some spurious peaks arising from background and noise that are classified as signals.
Table 1 contains the summary of measured analytical variation in the replicate runs. The median coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated by using the peak areas of all features reported by XCMS. Peak areas showed high analytical precision, with a median CV of 16% or less for features across replicate analyses, for both types of biofluids.
Several reports suggest the importance of considering biological variability in human biofluid analysis since metabolic profiles may be sensitive to genetic, dietary, lifestyle, or environmental factors.35, 36 Variation in sample handling during the collection and post-collection procedures can also appear as inter-individual variation.
A challenge in the application of metabolomics for disease biomarker discovery is to determine the effect of human variation on metabolite profiles. The success of metabolomics in non-human model systems is partially due to the controlled nature of such variation in the subjects, environmentally, behaviorally, and genetically. Typically, animal studies may have several specimens and contain several subjects per group or category.37 In human studies, the inability to control the genetics, living conditions, diet, and other factors leads to the question of the number of human patients required to form statistically meaningful datasets.38
Typical chromatograms for human plasma and human CSF are shown in figure 2; plasma is dominated by peaks arising from lysophospholipids. XCMS was used to compare the data from the individual samples which were pooled in the analytical replicate analysis. The results are summarized in Table 1. XCMS detected approximately 3,600 features in the human plasma biological replicates and 4,800 features in the human CSF biological replicates in the mass range of m/z 100 to m/z 1000. The total number of detected features decreased for the plasma biological replicates relative to the pooled plasma analytical replicates, but this was not observed for the CSF replicates. The majority of features showed low inter-individual variation, suggesting that there are characteristic plasma and CSF metabolite profiles including a core set of relatively low-variance metabolites in healthy individuals. The median CV of the features detected in human plasma biological replicates was 46%. Human CSF biological replicates showed less variation than replicates plasma with a median CV of 35%.
Biomarker discovery typically employs a comparison of peak areas to statistically analyze metabolite changes between two or more phenotypic groups. Based on integrated peak areas, XCMS reports variations between two groups, including the average fold change difference and the t-test p-values. To determine the magnitude of significant changes which would be detected by XCMS in a within-group comparison of healthy individuals, 12 biological replicates of human CSF were compared by dividing the biological replicate samples into two groups of 6 and running XCMS to detect changes between the two groups. For the within-group comparison of CSF samples, 11 of the 4,800 features detected were reported to change by 2-fold or greater within a 95% confidence interval (p-value < 0.05), and only 3 of these features were reported within a 99% confidence interval (p-value < 0.01). The number of potential "false positives" was slightly higher for human plasma. This test was repeated for 14 human plasma biological replicates, which were split into two groups of 7. Of the 3,600 features detected, 48 features were reported to change by 2-fold or greater within a 95% confidence interval, however, only 5 of these were within a 99% confidence interval. For both human plasma and CSF, only one feature was reported to change by 3-fold or greater within a 99% confidence interval. Based on these calculations, applying a filter to include detected changes which are only 2-fold or greater should minimize the effect of biological variability which is inherent in a healthy control group.
When matched plasma and CSF from the same individual was compared (for a sample group consisting of 10 male individuals), less variation in the basal metabolite profiles was observed in CSF relative to plasma. Figure 3 illustrates a comparison of integrated intensities and CV for plasma and CSF sampled from these 10 individuals. To understand the nature of the differences, we compared the composition of each. 70% of the shared features have a greater intensity in plasma, which is dominated by lysophospholipids. A study on the characterization of the human CSF metabolome has previously been performed by Wishart et al., showing that lysophospholipids are present at very low concentrations in CSF.39 Due to ion suppression, the relative intensities of features in this study cannot serve as a measure of concentration in such different biofluids, but it provides an idea of the large scale differences between plasma and CSF. Ion suppression results from the limited charge available to all metabolites eluting from the column at a particular time and the larger number of readily ionizable phospholipids in plasma.
A graph illustrating the relationship of the CV of plasma and CSF (Figure 3, right) further supports the higher variation of plasma compared to CSF. A large number of features demonstrate high variation in plasma, with a CV near 80–90%, whereas in CSF these same features have a CV of 50% or less. These results show that there is a correlation between metabolite intensities in plasma and CSF, but that the inter-individual differences in metabolite profiles is more conserved in CSF relative to plasma.
A principal component analysis of biological replicates of plasma and CSF from shows more variability in individual plasma metabolite profiles compared to CSF metabolite profiles. The PCA plot in figure 4 illustrates tight clustering of the CSF samples, whereas much greater spread is observed among the plasma samples which contain an outlier.
Scatter plots, shown in figure 5, illustrate the relationship between intensity and CV, for both analytical and biological replicates of each biofluid. In the biological replicates of human CSF (Figure 5b), a high-frequency cluster appears of medium intensity and low CV (< 20%) data. A similar cluster also appears in the biological replicates of human plasma (Figure 5d). Selection of low-variation clusters might aid in choosing candidate biomarkers that benefit from having efficient ionization, reproducible detection, and low variation among healthy individuals.
Displayed on the left hand side of figure 5 are histograms depicting the frequency of features binned according to their CV. In both plasma and CSF, the histograms of analytical replicates are similar, with a narrow distribution and a maximum number of features having a CV of approximately 10%. For the biological replicates, the envelope of the histogram is wider compared to analytical replicates, corresponding to a greater number of features having a higher CV. There is also a shift in the histogram to the right, the result of the biological variability on the distribution. In the histogram of biological plasma replicates there is a cluster of features which seem to retain conservation and low variation among individuals. This cluster is not evident in the histogram of biological CSF replicates, indicating that there is much less variation in CSF metabolite profiles overall.
Finally, we compared the biological variation of ions of unique m/z in each biofluid. The average CV was calculated for groups of features binned according to their m/z values (figure 6). While no direct correlation between CV and m/z was observed for either biofluid, the average CV was more consistent over different m/z ranges for CSF compared to plasma. The relative consistency in CV versus m/z for both plasma and CSF suggests that many features of each biofluid have comparable biological variability. To further investigate the variability of unique features in each biofluid and to compare the variation of specific features in plasma to those in CSF, we identified several metabolites present in both biofluids. These metabolites are listed in table 2, with their experimentally measured m/z values and their product ions, which were used for identification against authentic model compounds in the METLIN database. A model match is shown in supplemental figure S1 for the metabolite tyrosine, including a box plot depicting the variation in tyrosine intensities in plasma and CSF. Retention times of compounds are also taken into account to accurately identify metabolites, and are listed in table 2. The variation and intensity of identified metabolites were compared across matched plasma and CSF from 10 male individuals. Table 3 lists the variation and intensity observed for each metabolite in plasma versus CSF, and a detailed summary is in Supplementary Table S1. The relative change in the identified metabolites was consistent with the median biological CV determined for all peaks. These observations, together with analysis of intra-group variation of healthy individuals, indicates that fold changes above 2 in metabolomics studies investigating plasma or CSF are statistically relevant with respect to the inherent variability of a healthy control group.
This study demonstrates the reproducibility and robustness of a global LC/MS metabolomics platform applicable to quantitation and identification of metabolites in biofluids. In replicate analyses of human plasma and human CSF, we observed low analytical variation (median CV of 16%). Measurements on biological replicates of human plasma and CSF showed that the CV for CSF was 11% lower than the CV of plasma, and that similar numbers of features were observed in both biofluids. Both of these characteristics, low variability and a large number of detected features, are important for the efficacy of biomarker studies. Due to the difficulty of characterizing variability for each population and of obtaining large numbers of samples for human studies, particularly CSF, filters can be applied when interpreting the statistical significance of fold changes between sample groups. Estimates based on these experiments suggest that for metabolomics studies using human plasma or CSF, a fold-change cutoff of 2 will minimize the effects of biological variation inherent in a healthy control group. Similar fold-change cutoffs are routinely applied in gene chip experiments.40

I wanted to get in on the 5-star rating bandwagon and say that Dr. Cook is truly the best. I've been going to him for almost 20 years (I think). He really makes you feel as though you are the only patient he has. Looks you in the eye, takes his time, never seems to be in a hurry. Love that. I know he doesn't want to hear this but I hope he never retires.

Ajaw or Ahau (Spanish pronunciation: /aχa:f. or /axaːu./ and written "ajaaw") ('Lord') has two significations in the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It may represent a political title attested from Mayan epigraphic inscriptions, or it may designate the concluding, 20th named day of the divinatory calendar (tzolk'in), on which a king's k'atun-ending rituals would fall.
The word is known from several Mayan languages both those in pre-Columbian use (such as in Classic Maya), as well as in their contemporary descendant languages (in which there may be observed some slight variations). "Ajaw" is the modernised orthography in the standard revision of Mayan orthography, put forward in 1994 by the Guatemalan Academia de Lenguas Mayas, and now widely adopted by Mayanist scholars. Before this standardisation, it was more commonly written as "Ahau", following the orthography of 16th-century Yucatec Maya in Spanish transcriptions (now Yukatek in the modernised style). In the Maya hieroglyphics writing system, the representation of the word ajaw could be as either a logogram, or spelled-out syllabically. In either case quite a few glyphic variants are known. Not surprisingly, a picture of the king sometimes substitutes for the more abstract day sign.
Meaning as "lord"
Ajaw, with a meaning variously rendered as "lord", "ruler", "king" or "leader", denoted any of the leading class of nobles in a particular polity and was not limited to a single individual. Since the ajaw performed religious activities, it also designated a member of the Maya priesthood. The variant k'uhul ajaw ("divine lord") indicates a sovereign leader of a polity, although the extent of the territory and influence controlled by an ajaw varied considerably, and k'uhul ajaw could also be applied to persons who in theory recognised the overlordship of another person, dynasty or state. The title was also given to women, though generally prefixed with the sign Ix ("woman") to indicate their gender.
Earliest evidence
The archaeological site of K'o, associated with the Classic Maya city of Holmul located in modern-day Guatemala, boasts what may be the royal tomb of the earliest known Mayan ruler. This tomb has been dated to 350-300 BCE, and it contains the earliest evidence of the institution of ajaw in the Maya Lowlands.[1]

THE Stephanie Perkins at Natural Artificial has sad a lot of very nice words about me and my book. Stephanie, AKA, The HBM Connoisseur And Writer of Good Words was the last poor soul to get Dubbed. Thank you so much Stephanie. ANYBODY who has or has not yet checked out Stephanie's amazing blog should quit this one and RUN at the speed of DSL over there right now. Wonderful, hilariosity. Thank you Steph. Did I mention that Steph has her first of two novels coming out next year? Already on my Good Reads list (I think, better check).
My pops. Ricardo Jesus Watsonius. Or Richard Jesse Watson did a very nice post about a certain missing blogger son so he put up some of his(my) kid art. Sorry no naked pictures of me in the bath as a baby, but you get the picture. Thanks Dad for reminding me why I write. I appreciate it dad. Thanks pal.
The immortal Effeminator, and high-up member of the Children's Book Cosa Nostra did a very generous and kind post about me. Also known as Jaime, Jaime is starting another really cool looking blog-thing or msn superfan site called Bound, which I haven't completely figured out though did look at it and it is really cool like EVERYTHING Jaime does. Highly encourage you to check out that too. Jaime has a wonderfully hilarious and wicked sense of humor. Enjoy and thank you so much Jaime. By the way, if any of authors are ever doing book signings in Seattle, Jaime's your gal. She has a business helping authors do their book tours, even including muffins. It's called First Edition Media Services and like I mentioned before, Jaime's connected up the yin-yang. I've heard of editors giving Jaime lip before, they had union problems within the week. True story (you know but completely fictionalized).
I'm sure I'm missing some but these will do for now. Really cool guys.

NSYNC's co-member Lance Bass says a reunion of his boyband with JT is highly unlikely at this time.
Justin Timberlake is not planning to work with his old group NSYNC anytime soon. This was revealed by JT's former band mate Lance Bass, crushing fans hopes that the "Cry Me a River" singer's recent return to recording might pave the way for reunion of the '90s popular quintet. Timberlake has recently dropped his new single "Suit & Tie" and is set to release his album "The 20/20 Experience" soon.
"I don't think we're doing anything," Bass stated in an interview when asked about a possible NSYNC reunion. "I don't think [a reunion] would happen. Everyone is doing their own thing."
Bass added that JT's busy working on his new music to even consider teaming up again with his former group mates. "Justin's doing his thing. I don't think he would have a moment off to do an N*Sync album. He's the busy one."
Timberlake is back in the limelight, appearing and performing in live events simultaneously while he tries to meet March 19 release date of his new album. He successfully pulled off his onstage return in a pre-Super Bowl concert last Saturday night, an apt practice gig for his big Grammy performance on February 10.
"I won't be there, but I'm excited to see a little 'Suit & Tie' performance. It's going to be good," an anticipating Bass said about his old band mate, the most successful artist to come out of NSYNC since the group split up back in 2002.

I flew PER-BNE-PER this weekend and discovered that QF appears to have removed the humble bread roll from the inflight meal in Y.
I noticed some extra space on the tray on the outbound sector and discovered that my tray (and the others around me) was missing the standard bread roll. Believing that PER catering had just run out of bread rolls, I did not think any more of it.
On the inbound sector, the bread roll was also missing. Upon inquiring with the FA, she confirmed that the bread roll had been removed from the inflight meal on the last couple of flights she had operated.
Is this another enhancement by QF or just a one (or two) off occurrence? Has the bread roll gone the same way as the mysterious 'third' cracker? I know the bread roll was not the most gourmet thing you would ever get to eat but helped to keep hunger at bay if you did not get a chance to have something to eat before the flight.
RIP Bread Roll.....

I found the bread rolls a good meal filler, and would be sad to see if they have gone for good.
Maybe I will need to poach a few from the Qantas lounge before my next flight.

DaShawn Harden flitted down the lane on a fast break and did the mental geometry required to bank a shot off the glass.
The degree of difficulty was already substantial. The fact that 6-foot-4 South Carolina center Alaina Coates was standing between Harden and the goal made it like trying to lob a hook shot over the Himalayas.
Harden was denied. And then some. Coates swatted the ball into the court so hard it may have left a dent, then stepped over Harden's prone body with body language that read smug satisfaction.
The play embodied the game and the gap Sunday between LSU and No. 1-ranked South Carolina.
The Lady Tigers tried their best, had a solid plan and even the season's biggest crowd to date (2,439) urging them on hoping for an epic upset in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
But South Carolina was too tall, too deep, too accurate from 3-point range to allow it, leading by as many as 31 points in the second half en route to a 75-51 victory.
"South Carolina is a very good basketball team," LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said, "well coached and unbelievable players. They are obviously one of the best teams in the country.
"We had opportunities to compete, and I thought there were spurts there that we played really good. I thought we were challenged in the paint due to their size and their toughness in that area, but this is something that this team can take and learn from and we are going to move forward."
After a 68-65 win Friday at Florida, LSU dropped back to 7-7 and 1-1 in Southeastern Conference play. South Carolina improved to 14-0 and 2-0, establishing a school record for consecutive wins.
"I feel like we're making progress," South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. "Anytime you can get a road win in our league, it's pretty special. We really haven't had a whole lot of success here at LSU because they really do a good job at taking care of their home court. They had a good crowd out there. I just thought our players were up for the challenge of playing hard and trying to get a win for 40 minutes."
The win was the Gamecocks' third straight against the Lady Tigers but just their seventh in 29 meetings overall.
Both teams had a strategy. LSU's plan was to try to pack the lane and allow South Carolina to shoot from 3-point range. The Gamecocks planned to take away senior guard DaShawn Harden, who scored a career-high 23 points at Florida.
It was South Carolina's maneuver that worked best. Harden finished with a team-high nine points, but eight of them were in the second half after the outcome was basically decided.
"When you have a player that can score and make an impact on both sides of the ball like DaShawn, you have to make her work," Staley said. "You have to have someone who is equally as energized for the challenge, and I felt like Tiffany Mitchell was."
Mitchell, a junior guard and SEC preseason player of the year, finished with 17 points but was outshined by freshman teammate A'ja Wilson.
The nation's No. 1 recruit, Wilson recorded a double-double (21 points, 13 rebounds) and had three blocked shots.
"Anytime you allow one player to go off on you, that's not a good thing," Caldwell said. "We allowed Wilson time and time again to get touches. We had people front and behind her, and she overpowered us."
LSU scored the first basket on a shot down low by Sheila Boykin and was in touch midway through the first half, down just 19-13 after a Stephanie Amichia jumper with 6:25 left.
But Tina Roy responded to Staley's call to take shots left open by the Lady Tigers' pack-the-lane tactics, draining a 3-pointer 16 seconds later for a 22-13 lead. The Gamecocks never led by less than nine after that, were up 37-22 at halftime, and went up 56-25 with 11:08 left on a 19-3 run.
LSU returns to the PMAC at 8 p.m. Thursday when it hosts Vanderbilt in a game on the SEC Network. Vandy (8-5, 0-1) lost 75-61 Friday at Texas A&M and hosts Tennessee on Monday before traveling to Baton Rouge.

The easiest way to get a paid apps for free without jailbreaking your iOS devices is to stay updated the free promotion offered in the App Store. The reason of such promotion is explained in the previous post- 10 websites to download free paid apps, and in nutshell, it's a purely marketing strategy.
It must not confuse with the freemium-based apps. The one we're talking here is the paid and 'Ad-free' apps, in which the developers adjust their prices on a regular basis even making apps free for a limited time. Hence, to grab those free paid apps in such a short promotion period, we need a quick-accessible tool to keep us updated in all times.
Recommended: Download Top Paid Apps For Free At Apple App Store Without Jailbreaking
What is the handy tool?
Instead of asking "Uncle Google" to search for daily free apps, there is multitude of apps to notify you about any latest freebie or price-drop at the App Store, and without doubt, these apps are free too. Today, we have picked the cream of crop. All you have to do is to download the apps, and it will do all the hassle. Get ready at the App Store, and list after jump:
As the name implied, it mines the App Store looking for new and updated apps as well as monitors price for changes everyday. Additionally, you can create your own watch list to monitor any wanted apps and push notification is available for the watch list too.
The user interface is intuitive and neat. You can easily share the app promotions with your friends via email or thru the social networking site with the built-in function. Don't forget to check out the stat report of how many apps you have downloaded and how much money you saved. Pretty cool report though!
There are 3 million people are using Appsfire to discover the free apps at App Store; it is one of the crowded apps indeed. The outstanding feature of Appsfire compared with others is that you are able to check out the apps used by your friend and vice versa by connecting to your Facebook account, and thus forming a social network of Apple's apps.
In addition to the regular news update of free apps, FreeAppWin conducts contests on daily basic to give away Amazon Gift Card, which can up to $200 dollars at sometime.
Yet another app to notify daily free paid apps with a springboard-like user interface. As well, it has a built-in weblog to provide the users the latest news of iOS apps.
It's not necessary to download all the apps recommended above. Pick the one suit you the most, and you'll be surprised the money you can save without sacrificing the thrill of paid apps. Lastly, if you have any other recommendations for a quality app that is similar, please do share it to us at the comments.

U.S. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-09) issued the following response to President Barack Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress about the unemployment crisis in America:
"Tonight, President Obama made it clear that he plans to call the same big government plays that have already failed America. His call for higher taxes will further unsettle our small business owners, and his commitment to more stimulus spending lends a deaf ear to our national debt crisis.
"While I welcome the president to the national conversation about our unemployment crisis, his veiled threats and tough talk to Congress was political stagecraft, not a credible plan for jobs. Recall the last stimulus package, which promised to keep the unemployment rate from going above 8 percent. Thirty-one months later, with 14 million Americans looking for work, our unemployment rate is at 9.1 percent.
"The experiment of big government belongs in the history books. Now it's time to focus on private sector job creation by cutting taxes, cutting spending, and removing costly regulations. House Republicans have had a jobs plan on the table for months, and we've passed over a dozen bills to boost private sector job creation. I believe the president missed an opportunity tonight to join our effort to get Americans back to work."

Extremists in Pro-Israel Crowd Also Prone to Hateful Slogans
In the battle for American public opinion, it was a tremendous favor by Muslim radicals to crash last year's pro-Israel rally in Fort Lauderdale to chant profane, vicious, ethnic slurs at Jewish demonstrators, who looked positively civil by comparison.
But as masked blogger Rollo Tomasi* points out on ToeTagDiary.com, we should remember that Israel also has extremists who can whip up a noxious cocktail of ethnic hatred, as evidenced by these hot-selling T-shirts. Check out the one that shows a picture of a pregnant Muslim inside a sniper's crosshairs. "One shot. Two kills," it says.
Neither group makes a particularly compelling argument for the merits of religious extremism -- or of religion, period. So the news of more rallies in the new year is a bit distressing. Because let's face it, these rallies aren't a way to encourage public debate so much as a way of flexing muscle to the extremists on the other side of an issue, who then feel compelled to stage a rally of their own. As those rallies annoy people, it leads moderates to adopt more extreme views. A course that will add power, increase membership, and generate revenue for the extreme groups. As well as more ethno-religious tension, if not violence.
* Juice suspects that Tomasi is the pseudonym of former Sun-Sentinel writer John DeGroot, whose eponymous blog betrays a suspiciously similar acerbic tone. I reached DeGroot this morning, and he denied any associations with Tomasi, saying those similarities are either "pure coincidence or an act of God." But DeGroot allowed for the possibility that due to his advanced age, his computer could be seized by a "doppelganger personality" like Tomasi. Here at Juice, we will continue to investigate this matter.

Transcript: tactical experience, lent much weight to his views and the League benefitted immensely from his advice. Although the basic policy of the League was broad and non racial we were nevertheless suspicious of the Left and strenuously opposed any joint political campaigns with other oppressed popuplation groups. On many occasions Youth Leaguers appeared on public platforms and attacked the communists, Coloureds and Indians who sought to run our affairs, so we argued, under the pretext of joint action. It was precisely this suspicion which made us introduce a motion, which we lost heavily, at the 1947 National Conference of the ANC, demanding the expulsion from the ANC of all members of the CP.
Although he was a solid African nationalist and fully supported the view that Africans should be left free to plan and fight their own political battles, Peter Mda consistently warned against the danger of taking our ideological differences too far and to the point of breaking up public meetings and confusing the masses when unity and common
Ramohamoe related how Makgatho challenged the legality of this practice by boarding a second class compartment. He was arrested and charged but the courts upheld his action. It was also Ramohanoe who first told me the story, which I have since heard repeatedly from various sources, that during Makgatho's days Africans were prohibited by law from walking on town pavements in the Transvaal, a law which many municipalities strictly enforced.

Since it is final one can always rely on its behaviour and on the locking mechanism which is kind of central to Lucene. However, I do not have very strong feelings for leaving it final.

Promising to be an "energy company you can trust," Oasis Energy strives to help its residential and business customers make smart energy decisions by providing the best support and service. Oasis doesn't just provide electricity and natural gas plans, but offers its services as a trusted energy advisory, helping you to evaluate and make informed decisions about your energy use, whether your concerned with sustainability or cost.
Oasis offers a wide range of energy plans, including variable- and fixed-rate plans (that last up to three years) as well as plans that are 100% sourced from renewable electricity and 100% carbon offset for natural gas use. In doing so, Oasis aims to provide competitive products to its hundreds of thousands of residential and business customers.
- Fixed-rate plans: allow you to lock in a single rate, giving you predictability in your monthly energy costs through the term of the contract. An excellent way to protect yourself from the prospect of rising energy prices.
- Variable-rate plans: less certain than fixed-rate plans, your energy bill will change monthly according to the market price of the energy supply. While that means you could end up paying less if energy prices fall, a natural disaster or unseasonable weather could cause your rates to rise.
- 100% renewable energy plans: with Oasis, there's no need to choose between doing good for the environment and doing good for your wallet. You can choose among a number of renewable energy plans that generate electricity entirely from sources such as wind, solar, hydro, and biomass.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. Anyone who operates a Audi knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. It's not every day that you find yourself in need of a replacement A/C Condenser to fix your vehicle. Obviously, you bought your Q5 because you knew that you wanted best-in-class service and dependability both rolled up into one automobile.
Keeping the interiors of our cars and trucks cool and comfortable has been possible since HVAC was pioneered around 70 years ago. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Audi Q5 acts like a radiator (it also looks like one) by cooling the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, and then sends it to the drier and expansion valve. You will usually find your Audi Q5 A/C condenser mounted at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, because that is the best place for it to absorb the air stream as your car or truck moves down the road. If your A/C condenser has sprung a leak, then you will likely notice your air conditioning blowing lukewarm air as a result of the lack of refrigerant.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Ordering new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Q5 parts on the internet. Need 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 Audi Q5 A/C Condenser parts? We've got them right here.

State Authorization
Changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 have made it necessary for each institution of higher learning to respond to the following: "If an institution is offering post-secondary education through distance or correspondence education to students in a State in which it is not physically located or in which it is otherwise subject to State jurisdiction as determined by the State, the institution must meet any State requirements for it to be legally offering post-secondary distance or correspondence education in that State. An institution must be able to document to the Secretary the State's approval upon request. State Authorization Regulation Chapter 34, § 600.9(c)(Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1001 and 1002)"
As of July 8, 2015, Barton Community College is a participant in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) initiative. SARA is a state-level reciprocity process aimed at making the effort to obtain state authorizations more efficient for institutions and to make it easier for students to enroll in distance education programs outside of the states in which they reside.
Barton is working with state agencies to comply with required authorizations so that we can continue to provide educational access to students across the country.
For more information about the SARA initiative and the progress of state and institutional membership please visit http://www.nc-sara.org/sara-states-institutions.
Student Complaint Process
Barton Community College aims to resolve all student complaints in a fair and expedient manner. Students wishing to file a formal complaint must first seek resolution through institutional problem resolution procedures .
If a complaint cannot be resolved internally, students may also file a complaint with the Kansas Board of Regents or with our accrediting body The Higher Learning Commission.
For assistance, please contact:
Dean of Distance Learning

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something that is intrinsically satisfying about organizing things. Maybe it's because I love to knoll (the art of arranging things in parallel lines or 90 degree angles) or that I enjoy keeping things clean, minimal, uncomplicated.
I believe that there is a poetic nature to the physical space that surrounds us; it's a powerful force that shapes our behaviour, emotions and beliefs.
I usually don't leave the door without these few items (and, not pictured: a pen and a note/sketchbook). Aside from acting as time capsules, they help to keep me organized.

Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) will be sending certificates of appreciation to individual tax payers by e-mail on the basis of the level of taxes paid by them for the current Assessment Year 2016-17.
Recently, Finance Minister, Shri Arun Jaitley handed over certificates of appreciation issued by CBDT honoring select tax payers for such contribution.
This step marks the first effort by the Government to directly communicate to the tax payer its appreciation for that contribution.
Individuals who have paid in full tax and have no outstanding tax liabilities and where the return is e-filed within the prescribed due date, will receive such certificates.
The tax payers may display these certificates in their homes or offices.
The categories for individual taxpayers and the number of certificates being issued in the first round are:
Platinum: Tax contributed Rs. 1 Crore and above
Gold: Tax contributed Rs. 50 Lakh to Rs. 1 Crore
Silver: Tax contributed Rs. 10 Lakh to Rs.50 Lakh
Bronze: Tax contributed Rs. 1 Lakh to Rs.10 Lakh
The Department is committed to continuous improvement of taxpayer services and seeks the cooperation of all taxpayers in contributing their fair share of taxes voluntarily, the CBDT press release said.
