Jets playoff bound
Joe Dibble called the final two minutes of the Janesville Jets' hockey game on Tuesday night the longest of his career.
The Jets held a 2-1 lead and knew if they could hold on at Springfield they'd clinch an appearance in the NAHL playoffs. And Dibble, Janesville's second-year head coach, came here after a stint coaching in Springfield.
Through all the stress, Jets goalie Brock Kautz made the 2-1 lead hold up to increase his franchise lead for career victories. And Janesville earned a spot in the postseason after missing out last year because it was on the wrong end of a tiebreaker.
"It was excitement, but there were also a lot of tired players," Dibble said. "These guys have put in so much to get to this point, and they wanted it so bad that it was almost like they were so excited and exhausted at the same time.
"They celebrated for a couple minutes and then when we were on the bus it was like, 'All right, let's go to sleep.'"
The Jets needed their rest with the final series of the season looming. It begins tonight with back-to-back home games against the Johnstown Tomahawks.
Johnstown enters the weekend holding the fourth and final playoff spot from the NAHL North Division, leading Springfield by three points. Janesville, in third, leads Johnstown by three and trails Michigan by four.
"(Friday) night will tell a lot," Dibble said. "Obviously we want to win these last two games at home, but I think the important thing right now is the playoffs.
"We're going to try to make a run at this thing."
It's already been quite the stretch.
At one point in last place and left for dead by many, the Jets have stormed back. The victory at Springfield gave them eight in their past 10 games.
"It was my old team and my old rink," Dibble said. "When we scored that third goal (to make it 2-1), I wanted to jump out on the ice I was so excited. The last two minutes of that game were the longest.
"You want it so bad for these kids, just for them to get what they deserve."
What they've already earned is a playoff spot and at least one more home game after this weekend. If the standings hold, Janesville and Michigan will square off in a five-game series, with the Warriors holding home-ice advantage.
First things first, the Jets will attempt to sweep the season series with Johnstown. They swept a road series with the Tomahawks four weeks ago. The puck drops at 7 p.m. tonight at Saturday.

Warhawks look to stay unbeaten
UW-Whitewater has outscored its opponents 281-37, and the Warhawks have won their first three Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference games by a combined 129 points.
The football team can likely forget about such numbers for a few weeks.
The WIAC race will be shaped over the next three Saturdays, as the Warhawks will face the toughest stretch of their season. They'll face two teams ranked right next to them in the top 10 in Division III nationally, then a team that is receiving national votes.
First things first, they travel to UW-Oshkosh for a 1 p.m. game on Saturday.
"We've got one game to worry about right now, and that's Oshkosh," said UW-W coach Lance Leipold, whose team hosts Platteville on Nov. 2 and travels to Stevens Point on Nov. 9. "I don't know if there's a way physically possible to play the game that's three weeks from now, so we better play the one that's schedule for this week and focus our attention on that."
Both Whitewater—No. 5 in the AFCA and No. 7 in the D3football.com Division III polls— and Oshkosh—No. 9 in both—have become accustomed to playing in high-scoring blowout games, but Saturday's matchup pits the league's top two defensive units against one another.
Whitewater leads the WIAC in scoring defense (6.2 points per game), passing defense (118.7 yards), total defense (196) and turnover margin (+2.17). Oshkosh is second in all of those categories.
"This will be, in so many ways, our biggest test of the year, and the best team we've played so far," Leipold said.
That certainly goes for UW-W's young offensive line.
A main storyline heading into the season, the group has risen to any challenge up to this point. Quarterback Matt Behrendt has been sacked just five times in six games, and without a heavy dose of pressure, has yet to throw an interception.
Conversely, the Titans lead the league in sacks with nearly four per game, and they have converted that pressure into a whopping 16 interceptions—the second-most in Division III football.
"Matt continues to progress; it was a year ago in this game where we put Matt in (for the first time) in the second quarter," Leipold said. "We don't need him to do anything more than what he's been doing at this time.
"I'm pleased on where the (offensive line) has evolved to this point, but much like everything, we'll be as good as we are this current week."
The time for blowouts is gone. It's time to sort out the WIAC.

gram negative cocci. please help
my professor asked me to identify 3 organism base on below result i already perform an acid fast staining and it shows that a gram negative cocci. the problem is, i cant enumerate the possible organism present in this test .. kindly help. it would really mean so much to me..
- indole
- methyl red
- voges proskauer
+ simmon nitrate
- ureas
+ gas
Re: gram negative cocci. please help
Your professor should have given you a dichotomous key or some other type of table(s) to help you identify your bacteria. At the very least I would think a list of bacteria would be provided, because only the professor knows what bacteria the students were given. When I had my unknown project in micro we were provided such information; I couldn't imagine not having it! Sorry I can't help you further, good luck!
Thank you for trying my proffesor said we could reffer to any types of book of microbio since, the sample are from the water he said... I found some bacteria yet im not sure of it.
The bacteria are:
aeromonas hydrophila
s. arizonae
citrobacter freundii
and enterobacter cloacea.
Re: gram negative cocci. please help
Perhaps the colony morphology can help you narrow down your choices further? There are tons of images out there that might help you make some comparisons. Sometimes it isn't what you don't know but what you DO know that makes all the difference!
I don't understand.
1. If it's "gram negative cocci", why are you doing tests for enterics?
2. If it is a rod, repeat MR-VP. They usually opposites of each other (methyl red positive and VP -ve OR methyl red -ve and VP +ve). One of those tests is most likely wrong.
3. By " + simmon nitrate" you mean Simmon citrate OR Nitrate???
You said you did an ACID FAST test to show you if it was GRAM NEGATIVE?
Did you do a Gram stain at all?
An acid-fast test doesn't tell you if it's Gram negative or Gram positive. Rather, it's an alternative test if your Gram stain doesn't work (of if you're unsure of results) to test if it has a crazy thick outer wall (eg. mycolic acids). But again, it won't tell you if it's Gram negative...
For determining your bacteria though, you should consider using "Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology". It's pretty helpful.
Re: gram negative cocci. please help
You might try Bergey's 7th, 8th or 9th edition manual and there you should see the lisitngs of the various bacteria and their results..Hope this helps!

In Wallace he trusts: Packers' McCarthy confident in backup
GREEN BAY--The 16 million viewers who tuned into "Monday Night Football" likely do not believe in Seneca Wallace. They watched a backup quarterback stumble through four grisly quarters of football.
But coach Mike McCarthy? The one in charge? He left no room for speculation Tuesday.
With Aaron Rodgers out, Wallace is in. Case closed. Wallace will prepare as the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback this week.
"What gives me the confidence?" McCarthy repeated back, sternly. "Seneca Wallace, once you read his bio, he's played a lot of games, been in the league a long time. I look for him to improve with a week of preparation and we'll set a plan that will help him with that.
"I have all the confidence in the world in Seneca."
As in "Wallace." Not the newly available Matt Flynn. A broken collarbone will sideline Rodgers this week and likely beyond. So the floor is yours, Seneca Wallace. And, as a source told the Journal Sentinel, former Wisconsin Badger Scott Tolzien will be signed from the practice squad—he becomes the No. 2.
On Tuesday morning, in the Packers' offensive staff meeting, McCarthy said he told coaches it's important that "one individual doesn't hold back the unit." In other words, the Packers don't trash this offense and scribble up a new one on a napkin for this week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. They'd like to take a tweezers, not a hatchet, to this offense.
Green Bay is in a three-way tie atop the NFC North. Losing one player can't nuke what got the Packers to 5-3.
"And that's especially true at the quarterback position, and that's why Seneca Wallace is here," McCarthy said. "We will play offense like we've always played offense, and we will go out Sunday afternoon, fully expect to score points, like we're supposed to score points, and we fully expect to win the game. That won't change."
As Wallace and teammates echoed after the Packers' 27-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, this was far from ideal. Wallace has been preparing as a caddie, not a savior, these last eight weeks. On his weekly radio show, Rodgers said the backup probably took only four snaps with the first-team offense this past week. Four.
To date, the 33-year-old Wallace has been a new veteran's voice in Rodgers' ear. Now, for the first time as a Packer, Wallace is preparing to play in a game. He didn't last week. He didn't all summer. Instead, Graham Harrell, B.J. Coleman and Vince Young all competed and all lost.
Wallace said he understands the offense. This week is about finding timing with the starters.
"It's clearly different for a quarterback to come off the bench than to go into a game," McCarthy said. "No disrespect to the backup quarterbacks in the National Football League, but the game plan set for Aaron Rodgers is different than the one set for the backup quarterback."
Monday night, McCarthy simplified the offense. That was obvious by who was targeted on Wallace's 19 pass attempts. The two outside receivers—the ones going deep, running more difficult routes to execute—had only four combined targets. James Jones and Jarrett Boykin were decoys. Nothing more.
With a full week of preparation, the Packers will want Wallace to connect downfield. That was a perpetual, three-year problem for the guy Green Bay wanted as its No. 2, Harrell.
"For him to come in damn near when the season starts and not really get that preparation," tight end Andrew Quarless said after the loss, "I think he did a great job. He's a professional. He did a great job."
The Packers believe reps during the week will make a major difference for Wallace, who sat out last season and hasn't started a game since Jan. 1, 2012.
"We trust Seneca," wide receiver Jordy Nelson said. "He has a proven track record. He's been around the league long enough. We have all the faith in the world in him. He's going to get obviously plenty of reps now to get that chemistry down and we'll be ready to roll."
In truth, the Packers can point the finger at themselves. The draft-and-develop way works. It's how general manager Ted Thompson built a contender to last. But he never adopted Ron Wolf's habit of drafting quarterbacks practically every April. So this season, Thompson was forced to reach into the August flea market of quarterbacks.
Wallace has been a steady No. 2 in his career. He owns a 6-15 record as a starter. For his career, he has completed 59.1% of his passes for 4,922 yards with 31 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.
Maybe the Packers won't completely restructure their offense. But as McCarthy said, the Packers will try to maximize Wallace's skill set. That may include more rollouts, more of the quarterback on the run. Wallace has 4.56-second speed. Look for the Packers to use it. Unlike Monday, they'll actually have a backup in pads.
And it sure wouldn't hurt to keep riding Eddie Lacy. The rookie running back has carried the ball 119 times over the last five games. No single back has had this many attempts over a five-game stretch since Ryan Grant in 2008.
He's proven himself as a three-down back. Lacy may now become the unquestioned focal point.
"Eddie definitely carried the torch. I like the way he ran," McCarthy said. "I thought he took a step forward as a runner. I thought he was more physical than he's been in the past, if you can believe that, and I think he has more to give. He's a talented young man. He's getting more and more comfortable each week in our offense."
This can turn in two very different directions. The 2011 Indianapolis Colts (Peyton Manning) and 2011 Chicago Bears (Jay Cutler) crumbled without their franchise quarterbacks. The 2008 New England Patriots, meanwhile, went 11-5 when Matt Cassel replaced Tom Brady.
The extent of Rodgers' absence remains unknown.
But make no mistake. Seneca Wallace is the Packers' quarterback.
"We're going to have a challenging week as a whole offense," McCarthy said. "We'll lean on Seneca's experience for that."

New brewery coming to downtown Whitewater
WHITEWATER�— Four friends gathered around a table at Lakefront Pub for their weekly business meeting.
They ate, had a beer—maybe two—and talked about the progress of their recent business endeavor involving one of their favorite beverages and topics: beer.
The friends turned business partners are opening their own brewery in downtown Whitewater.
Second Salem Brewing Company will be on the northeast corner of the Lakefront Pub, 111 W. Whitewater St..
It will operate separate from the restaurant after it is up and running in January.
The business partners--three Whitewater businesses owners and a beer historian--started thinking of opening the nano-brewery about a year ago.
Their reasons vary for wanting to create an 800-square-foot brewery, but all share a love of quality craft brews and a hope of revitalizing downtown Whitewater.
The partners are:
-- Christ Christon, owner of Lakefront Pub.
-- Karl Brown, beer historian and UW-Whitewater history professor.
-- Joe Coburn, co-owner of the Coburn Co., a dairy equipment and farm supply provider in Whitewater.
-- Thayer Coburn, co-owner of the Coburn Co..
"We see this as being a real draw for tourists and an interesting thing to bring downtown," Christon said. "If we can do something to bring people downtown, it will be good for the community and economy."
Joe Coburn said there's a market for a craft brewery in Whitewater, and he's confident the four business partners have what it takes to be successful.
"We have an experienced brewmaster who has opened commercial breweries," Coburn said. "But then also Christ has operational experience running food service retail operations for almost 15 years."
The brewery will be equipped to produce eight to 10 kegs of beer a month. The short-term goal is to have four flagship beers on tap by the end of the school year.
Working in the brewery will be Brown, the beer historian and UW-Whitewater history professor, and one assistant.
Brown has worked overseas in managing and installing breweries in Japan and Greece and worked at perfecting his own home brews in the United States.
He said another goal is to be environmentally conscious. The brewery will be entirely electric and donate leftover grain to local farmers.
Down the line, the brewery will convert an unused section of Lakefront Pub into a taproom.
People will be able to taste the beers from the brewery and other breweries, eat appetizers and eventually go on a tour of the brewery.
A year or two from now, the partners hope to be in the position where they need to look for a larger facility to increase production.
The business owners aren't worried about the economy. They referred to the craft brewing industry as robust.
"In 2009, craft brewing had a 9 percent growth, and that was the year every single industry tanked," Brown said. "Craft brewing is still going strong."
Market saturation is a concern, Brown said, but not in Whitewater.
They don't seem to be worried about competition, either.
Thayer Coburn said the craft brewing industry is a friendly community. Brewers share experiences on what works and what doesn't.
"A lot of the mindset in the craft brewing community is they're not fighting each other, not trying to grab market share from one another," Coburn said. "They're trying to grab it from Miller, Coors."

Ramadan has come to an end and I am thinking of how best to move forward with my training and how I can transition into the weeks and months to come as I continue to prepare for November 20th.
I was able to speak with two of the cross country coaches at my university's athletic department and one of the coaches brought up the idea of running 30 miles in a day by splitting it up into two sessions. Thinking about it, he's right. A marathon takes place in one day, less than that really. If I'm going to do in November, it makes sense to do it before hand. Sitting here typing this I am thinking about how may weeks before hand I should try to do the 30 miles. Maybe the last week of October so that I will have time to make any adjustments in distance per day, pace, training etc… Until August 28th at least, I won't do more than three miles at a time.
I didn't run this week and I don't have a record of my runs to look back and refer to.
I do hope to keep up with the ballet stretches as my cross training once a week.
I had been doing ballet stretches which sounds as though it doesn't require much effort.
If you're not engaging all your muscles it isn't.
However, once you do, it really is a work out.
I look forward to getting back out for a run.
I think that as a result of having lived in NYC and having grown accustomed to walking for miles I should be able to bounce back to regular excercise and hit the track. During my first week of training, my goal was to match the mileage put forward in an online training guide I found from a running magazine.
I hit the mark and the next step is now in front of me. While thinking about what shoes I need to get, I took a look at the shoes that I usually where, not for excercise but just walking around.
I noticed from the left shoe that I must be leaning outward when my foot strikes the ground.
The right shoe doesn't have the same slant to it so I may get basic lightweight running shoes and but some sort of insole for the left foot.I'm not sure if that throws off my posture.
Maybe that's why, until recently, it was only my left knee that was giving me problems.
At the very least,since I know now that I don't need as much correction for my right foot as I do for my left I'll be able to pair of sneakers that are better than the huge new balances I used to use.
Those jokers were expensive too! I bought them online when I should have gone into a running store.
Lesson learned on that one!

Theories - Origin of Life
Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Well congratulations at least you are getting your math correct.
Now you are beginning to excel yourself. Well done.
Long enough for what?
Really!!! From where did that perverse logic arrive?
There you go again.
I have already answered that question twice.

Next question please
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
You rather shouldn't be arrogant and ironic abusing that you're a native speaker.
So, explain it to me. There is no evolution. Where did the humans come from?
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Well I am glad you appreciate what it is like be subjected to a little bit of sarcasm.
Let me also remind you of your rather sarcastic post to me to join another thread.
Also to threaten to block any further posts from others on another thread because you happen to disagree with them and even insult their religious belief, I found to be in very bad taste.
I have always tried to be polite to you in all my posts and have even apologised when I have poked a little bit of fun, even though I was responding in kind to your own sarcastic questioning.
I have always made it clear that I do not discus religion because of all the obvious emotions that manifest themselves, because when emotions take over truth is invariability a casualty.
Now you clearly believe that evolution, (something that you still have not been prepared to explain in any detail) is the answer to the Origin of Life.
I don't have a problem with that, except that you insist that your belief is actual science.
If you insist that your belief is founded in verifiable science then you must show that to be the case. Simply stating that it is a fact, is not science.
Now let me try once again and answer your question
By referring you to my post to you on Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:16 am
I explained very clearly my understanding of design and the reasons for it.
I also asked that if you disagreed then to please explain where I was wrong.
You chose not to respond to any further posts until I posted on Quorum sensing, when you responded on Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:09 am
I replied in great detail the following day at which point you again went silent until the 30th August when you jumped in again as the discussion had move on.
All of this reveals to me that you don't wish to debate your own views except to state that they are science, but keep looking for opportunities to find fault with someone else post.
If that is your tactic then fair enough I have to live with it.
However it only reveals to me that you do not have the confidence in your own view to debate it scientifically.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
I have never insulted anyone for his or her English.
I have locked the topic because Tomn was saing all the time God made everything so how you want to discuss with someone like that? I would refer you to the biohazard's post
I know. You were always the good,polite guy with posts full of sarcasm.
No, I have already told you several times that evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. As you stated correctly, Darwin wrote "On the origin of species" not "On the origin of life". What he was referring to, was diversification of species. It doesn't matter that much how exactly evolution proceeds, but it still does.
You have not (repeatedly) answered my question. I asked where did humans come from. Where they designed as humans or did they evolve from "lower" organisms?
So, when you look for mistakes in evolution (or rather darwinism), it is OK, but when evolutionist look for mistakes in creationism/IDism, it's assault?
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Since you mentioned your post about14351-180.html#p133485 I'll try to reply.
The DNA codes for many kinds or siRNA besides proteins. There is still increasing number of regulatory RNAs and together with the proteins they determine the regulation and organisation you're referring to.
from your other post about14351-192.html#p134037
You know, my English is as bad as my biology, would you be so kind to explain what you mean by mind? Can you show exactly where NASA speaks about some mind?
You know, that's the difference between you and a real scientist. Scientist will never say he knows anything for 100%, we have hypothesis and theories for which we have proofs. On the other hand, you know exactly what the truth is, although you have no proof.
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
No but you insult their belief. As a moderator on this forum you should be setting an example in being courteous.
I agree with biohazard that this is a scientific forum. I have said the same thing myself. What I haven't done is insult Tomm through his religion. If you don't like his post then don't respond. Why should you stop others from responding, that smacks of censorship.
This thread is entitled "Theories – Origin of Life I would have thought that is clear enough.
This was the first question.
If you don't want to discuss origin of life why are you posting on this thread?
Also I have argued that the origin of life and origin of species is one and the same thing.and I have explained why.
I beg to differ, I have consistently argued that design is how humans and indeed species have come about.
This is what I said to both you and Patrick
JackBean » Tue Aug 30, 2011 12:51 pm
I don't see how much clearer I could have been.
As you can see I asked for a response – You didn't oblige
The information that controls the cell operations in a human cell differs from the information content of cells from other species.
Differentiation is simply one clear example of that. There are of course more examples.
The Functional and indeed specified information found in cells is not the product of natural forces.
The only known source of this type of information is from a mind.
If you disagree then please inform me how else it can come about.?
I don't argue with that.
The point I was making is that there are different levels of information regulating cells. Where those levels of information that reside in the cell are, is not known to science.
Hence my argument, that changes in DNA only effect the type of protein manufactured, and usually to the detriment of the cell.
That is why there is such an elaborate system of feedback and error correction in cell processes.
This very system of error control is evidence in itself of design.
I didn't report NASA spoke about the mind. I said NASA acknowledged that "an external source of free energy" was required.
I said that that external source can only come at the express will of a mind. In other words an outside agency is required to produce the design we see in the cell.
I hope that is clear enough.
I agree that a scientist should not say he knows 100%.
When you say we have " hypothesis and theories for which you have proof"
That sounds like 100% to me.
Also hypothesises are by definition not proven. When a body of information begins to support a hypothesis then, and only then may that hypothesis be elevated to the status of a theory.
Every real scientist knows that.
The RNA world idea is a hypothesis. It has not been elevated to the status of a theory because the evidence does not support it. This is what NASA was reporting on.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Jackbean has argued that origin of species is not the same as the origin of life.
These are two separate matters, and evolutionists only argue on the subject of origin of species.
Now I have argued differently, stating that they are the same.
However let's assume Jackbean's view is correct and see where that leads us.
Now the data from the various DNA sequencing projects in animals and plants have revealed some quite surprising results.
For example the genes found in a mouse are for the most part the same genes found in man. There may be slight differences but are clearly the same genes. The same with man and fish that are, for the most part also, the same genes. Even further than that, the Genes in man and chimpanzee are almost identical.
Not only are the genes the same, but the base pairs in these genes are often identical.
http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/H ... pgen.shtml
We know that new proteins rarely evolve by point mutations in existing genes to create new genes.
However there is this process called Exon Shuffling.
After a mRNA sequence is transcribed from the chromosome, a protein called a Spliceosome will cut out sections of the gene sequence, these sections are known as Introns.
What these Introns do is to break up the instructions for making the proteins. Therefore the Spliceosome has to cut out these sections of DNA and join the remaining pieces (Exons) together.
This brings different protein domains together in the final protein when it is translated. Through this process, one gene may encode many different proteins.
Here is an excellent visual of this process
http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olcweb/ ... cess%20RNA
So to summarise
Exons are the coding area in a genome that produce the genes that make proteins.
Introns are stretches of DNA, within those coding areas, that have to be spliced out before the mRNA can be prepared for transport to the Ribosome for manufacturing protein.
These Spliceosome Introns have been quite puzzling to biologists, because although they are numerous in Eukaryotes ( plant animal and human cells) we don't observe them in Prokaryotes.
Additionally some Eukaryotes like Yeast have a few of these while Humans have tens of thousands of them. The more complicated the organism the more Introns.
So the puzzling question for biologists is to determine where these came from.
When new information is required this is achieved by re-using existing information. This depends on the initial information and how this information must be shuffled in order to create new information.
Exon shuffling and mRNA splicing are both highly complicated events in eukaryotes. However the primitive self-replicating cells, ie prokaryotes, cannot implement such a system.
Not only do they lack the information to shuffle but they don't have the machinery to shuffle it.
Therefore the first gene could not have been created by re-arranging and shuffling existing information because there was no information or mechanism to shuffle and rearrange.
Hence the additional puzzling questions that Biologists are trying to grapple with.
How did the information and the machinery come about for gene creation in Eukaryotes?
Remember that evolutionary theory posits that prokaryotes evolved into Eukaryotes by a process of random mutations of the genome and then filtered by the other process of Natural Selection. All of this cementing the other pillar of evolutionary theory – Common Ancestry.
Here is a 2006 paper that tries to deal with this problem.
It is entitled "Phase distribution of spliceosomal introns: implications for intron origin"
This paper is also referenced by our very own biology online article here
http://www.biology-online.org/articles/ ... tract.html
This paper examines two competing theories. ( I use the word theory loosely)
One theory relies on an organism called a Progenote.
Now what is a progenote?
Well the progenote is a hypothetical candidate for the last universal cellular ancestor. There are two major conjectures associated with this entity: (1) the progenote's genome is based on RNA rather than DNA and (2) the replication, transcription and translation of this RNA organism had a much higher error rate than the ensuing DNA-based cells.
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... 3/abstract
So here is one explanation that requires a mythical organism and then goes beyond that by having two major conjectures associated with it.
And of course ones like me get berated for not calling this science.
So what about the other "theory"
Well I had better leave that to another post as this one is long enough.
Don't want to add to my "long-winded reputation"
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Too bad, I was hoping this will fall away into the past, but you are obviously too bored, aren't you?
You're permanently insulting your oponents for lack of biology knowledge and bad English. I was sarcastic to you because of your lack of simple logic, little bit of imagination, comprehention of your oponent's arguments and overall lack of ability to discuss.
Yeah, I have locked the topic. If you have problem with that, forward it upwards (the nick of moderator is honee_v).
You are "discussing" theories of origin of life by arguing about Darwinism/evolution. So you should first think about it, whether is it connected or not.
I don't see any such post.
So, you again didn't explain, what you mean by "mind". You know, you have to forgive to us poor, who not speak Engrisch.
You have not again said, how did the humans appear on Earth. Try to read this carefully and pick one possibility (or come up with other, but do not start about lysosomes )
1) they were created when all the other life on Earth was created few billions of years ago
2) they were created few tens/hundreds thousands of years ago when the creator was bored again and had no forum to post on
3) they evolved from lower animals, no matter, whether these were created or arose spontanneously
This is really like speaking with a retarded man. So you agree that DNA codes for regulating RNA and in the next sentence you write that changes in DNA affect only proteins.
I will try it differently: hypothesis and theories for which we currently have proofs. Think about Newton, who saw the apple to fall down and came up with gravity. Einstein had more proofs and came with his theories. Now we may even find his theories false, since there were detected neutrinos faster than light.
On the other hand, you (and Tomn) are definitely sure that you are right and noone can prove you wrong, because it would reaquire either imagination or logic.
Not true, there are gene duplications, which may further mutate.
You're obviously not much experienced with molecular biology, are you? Exons rarely code for separate domains. Also, these "many different proteins" are basically one protein with altered function.
The last sentence is like saying "I'm human because I'm human". But back to prokaryotes. Yes, they lack the spliceosome system and they lack introns. They lack in general gene editing, although there are some exceptions such as Trypanosoma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_editin ... r_deletion
sounds interestingly on the end of 745 words long post
Just one more thing, once you said, that Darwinism is not scientific theory, because it is not falsifiable. How is your theory (sorry, truth) falsifiable?
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Science's mandate is to fill in holes in our knowledge without invoking supernatural entities. Lots of holes left. Don't despair. We're making good progress.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
My sincere thanks to the moderators for allowing me back on the forum.
Much appreciated.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
May I clarify some points from my last but one post.
1) When I discussed "Exon Shuffling" in isolation, it was not intended to show that it was the only method of new information.
I am fully aware of gene duplication as another method. In fact I believe I was the first to introduce it into this thread back in August.
The point I was making was that, there had to be existing splicesome introns to shuffle in Eukaryotes, plus of course the mechanism to shuffle those introns..
As this is a vital process in transcription The question of how and where these introns and the shuffling mechanism came from is what the hypotheses I referred to were addressing.
Now clearly the so called early theory is not preferred by the article this forum has cited.
In fact the article prefers the late theory.
It has it's own set of difficulties but that is another story.
2) Design theory is falsifiable.
In a previous post I pointed to one way in which it would be falsifiable.
starting at this statement.
If this theory is falsifiable then it can seriously claim to be a scientific theory or hypothesis.
I made it very clear how it can be falsified?
That was in June of this year and no one has attempted to do just that.
Now until that happens Design theory must still stand as a scientific theory or hypothesis.
That is all I am claiming.
I did end that post with a request as to what is falsifiable about current neo-Darwinian theory.
As yet there has been no response.
Hope that clear matters up.

Monit is a utility for managing and monitoring processes, programs, files, directories, and devices on a Unix system. It conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions in error situations. It can be used to monitor files, directories, and devices for changes, such as timestamps changes, checksum changes, or size changes. It is controlled via an easy to configure control file based on a free-format, token-oriented syntax. It logs to syslog or to its own log file and notifies users about error conditions via customizable alert messages. It can perform various TCP/IP network checks, protocol checks, and can utilize SSL for such checks. It provides an HTTP(S) interface for access.
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a framework and set of services for supporting system-level performance monitoring and performance management. It provides a unifying abstraction for all of the interesting performance data in a system, and allows client applications to easily retrieve and process any subset of that data using a single API. A client-server architecture allows multiple clients to monitor the same host, and a single client to monitor multiple hosts. Archive logging and replay are integrated so that a client application can use the same API to process real-time data from a host or historical data from an archive.
Dar is a shell command that makes backup of a directory tree and files. Its features include splitting archives over several files, DVD, CD, ZIP, or floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper saving and restoration of hard links, extended attributes, file forks, Door inodes, and sparse files, remote backup using pipes and external commands (such as ssh), and rearrangement of the "slices" of an existing archive. It can run commands between slices, before and after saving some defined files or directories (for a proper database backup, for example), and quickly retrieve individual files from differential and full backups. Several external GUIs exist as alternatives to its CLI interface, like kdar, DarGUI, SaraB, etc.
pv (Pipe Viewer) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.
KBACKUP is intended for handling of backups no matter whether they reside on disk or tape or even in files. As most other backup programs available today are either confusing the user with lots of long command line options, or user friendly but not powerful at all, the aim behind writing KBACKUP was to provide a user friendly yet powerful backup program. It is also intended to be kept compatible to existing and well proven archive formats, so you can restore your archives even if you should not have KBACKUP around anymore.

Your Views: Teacher takes issue with letter on Orfordville Parkview
To talk at length in an inflated or empty way is how the dictionary defines the word bloviate. This is what comes to mind when reading Bill Redmer's latest letter aimed at misinforming Parkview School District voters.
Mr. Redmer claims statements made by the planning committee were "self-serving." This committee has done many hours of work and research to find a solution to benefit everyone. This seems to be anything but self-serving. Also, he claims the committee dealt in supposition rather than facts. Actually, nothing but facts were presented to anyone who cared to listen (including Mr. Redmer).
Fact, the district's buildings need improvements. The gymnasiums aren't fit to hold events that are money generating for the district, and restrooms simply don't meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
Mr. Redmer also claims the referendum is filled with pork. I assume he's referring to pork-barrel politics. This would mean that somehow a politician is trying to win over constituents by voting in a certain manner. What? This isn't a back-room deal to fatten the pockets of anyone. This is simply some decent people who care about their district, asking for things that are clearly fair and overdue.
Obviously, any referendum calls on citizens to help in the form of a tax increase. Mr. Redmer fails to mention that without the school district, each person's tax burden will be higher than if the referendum passes. I felt true facts were needed and not Mr. Redmer's prevarication.

Body pulled from Rock River identifed as Mary Coulthard
JANESVILLE—Authorities identified the body pulled from the Rock River on Friday afternoon as Mary Coulthard.
Coulthard, 75, was last seen the evening of May 2. The search for her began May 3.
The cause of death is drowning, Sgt. Mark Ratzlaff said.
Police released the identity Saturday night.
At about 6 p.m. Friday a city of Janesville firefighter waded into the water and retrieved a female body near the Monterey Dam.
A call was received at the Rock County 911 Communications Center at 4:41 p.m. Friday after a 15-year-old boy found the body along the south bank of the river midway between the Center Avenue bridge and the first railroad trestle downstream.
An identity was not released Friday because an autopsy needed to be completed and the body needed to be identified.
On Friday, police said there were no signs of obvious trauma or foul play.
An autopsy was completed Saturday in Madison, Ratzlaff said. He did not know of a specific time or location.
Coulthard, 208 N. Main St., Janesville, was last seen at 9 p.m. May 2 in the 200 block of North Main Street.
Earlier last week, police found personal property of Coulthard's on the Milwaukee Street bridge as well as south of the bridge on land near the Rock River. That prompted ground, water and aerial searches of the river, police said.
Based on the location of the property, police believed she traveled along the river at some point, Dan Davis, Janesville police deputy chief, said last week.
Police are investigating Coulthard's death.
Ratzlaff did not know exactly what that investigation would entail. He said it could be to find more details on what happened to the Janesville woman and how it happened.

Every other week, we publish a slideshow of noteworthy in-house career moves, to help you keep track of the comings and goings of inside counsel. This gave us a lot to sort through when it came time to narrow it down to the ten biggest moves of the year, but eventually we settled on these. There were shakeups at some of the most recognizable company names in the nation, appointments made to combat scandals and turnover at government agencies.
So here you have it: the year in review, career moves-style. Feel free to disagree, and tell us who we missed in the comments.
Chasing Compliance
It's been a rough year for Wal-Mart. After the New York Times accused its Mexican unit of bribery, and the parent company of covering it up, the world's largest retailer suffered a serious blow to its public image. Wal-Mart has been hard at work trying to clean up the mess, and part of that effort involved creating the position of international compliance chief.
In October, Daniel Trujillo received the honor, and the immense responsibility, of being the first person to hold that post. Trujillo came to Wal-Mart from the oil field services company Schlumberger Ltd., where he was deputy general counsel and director of compliance. He is a native of Argentina, and speaks five languages, according to Wal-Mart.
Public Servant Goes Private
Joseph Wayland had a short stint as acting head of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Antitrust Division. He was appointed to the position in April, after Sharis Pozen stepped down, and in November announced he would be leaving to join Simpson Thacher & Bartlett as partner. He was a litigation partner with the firm for 20 years before joining the DOJ.
Wayland started at the Antitrust Division in 2010, as its deputy assistant attorney general for civil enforcement. During his time with the DOJ, he oversaw several high-profile mergers and acquisitions challenges, including the Antitrust Division's first successfully litigated merger challenge in eight years: the prevention of H&R Block's acquisition of TaxAct.
"It's time for me to go," Wayland told the Wall Street Journal Law Blog. "I've been serving on borrowed time for some time."
Personal Parting
In October, Transocean Ltd. Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Assistant Corporate Secretary Nick Deeming announced that he was leaving the company after an approximately five-year tenure. The statement released by Transocean cited "personal reasons" as the catalyst for Deeming's departure.
Whatever his reasons may be, we imagine anyone would need a bit of a break after steering Transocean through the disaster that was 2010's Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Not surprisingly, the company has seen some serious time in the courtroom since then.
Picking Politics
In April, longtime Starbucks General Counsel Paula Boggs left the post she had held for 10 years to join President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. (Spoiler alert: It worked.)
But the campaign wasn't Boggs' first walk around the political block. She started her legal career as a U.S. Army Officer in the Pentagon and as a staff attorney for the White House. In 2010, Obama appointed her to the White House Council for Community Solutions, which works on community-developed solutions to issues like education and employment.
Boggs was succeeded at Starbucks by Lucy Lee Helm, who was appointed executive vice president, general counsel and secretary in May.
Hacking Headaches
When former Williams & Connolly partner Gerson Zweifach took the top legal spot at News Corp. in February, he arrived to a pretty big mess on his plate. The British tabloid News of the World, owned by News Corp., has been embroiled in a phone-hacking scandal in which several of its journalists were accused of hacking into the voicemails of celebrities, politicians and even a murder victim.
Zweifach stepped up, though, and faced the scandal head-on, taking over for News Corp. executive Joel Klein as head of the hacking investigation committee. The committee's findings have led to numerous arrests.
Scandalous Shakeup
The aftershock of former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's child sexual abuse scandal resonated throughout the university. General Counsel Cynthia Baldwin announced her resignation in January, and was replaced by Stephen S. Dunham (pictured above) in May.
Stepping down did not remove Baldwin from the spotlight, though, as former FBI Director Louis Freeh criticized her role in the investigation of Sandusky in a report released in July. Among the things Freeh objected to was Baldwin's advice to university personnel that Sandusky could not be banned from school grounds or be terminated, as he had not been convicted of a crime.
Our Inside Experts columnist Eric Esperne, counsel for Dell Services, wrote that he believed Freeh criticized Baldwin too harshly, and that she did the best she could in an ugly situation.
Climbing the Lender Ladder
In June, Timothy Mayopoulos, general counsel of government mortgage giant Fannie Mae, was named its next CEO, replacing Michael J. Williams. Mayopoulos (pictured above) joined Fannie Mae in 2009, and according to a statement released in conjunction with his promotion, "he is an experienced and effective leader on a remarkable management team that has stabilized the company and positioned Fannie Mae to return value to taxpayers in the years ahead."
Mayopoulos's ascension left the top legal spot at Fannie Mae up for grabs. That role was filled in October, by Pfizer chief litigation counsel, senior vice president and associate general counsel Bradley Lerman. Lerman replaced Judith Dunn, who had served as interim general counsel between Mayopoulos's promotion and Lerman's appointment.
Rotating Roles
In a sort of three-card monte-style change-up in the C-suite, Kraft Foods Inc. saw several lawyers cycle through this year. First, general counsel Marc Firestone resigned and defected back to his old employer, Philip Morris International. Then, Avon GC Kim Rucker left the beauty company, which has been plagued by Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations, to join Kraft as general counsel and corporate secretary of its new spinoff company, Kraft Foods Group Inc.
Then Avon got into the game, pulling former Novartis Corp. lawyer Jeff Benjamin out of retirement to serve as general counsel, bringing with him some clearly-needed litigation and compliance experience.
Tech Troubles
Just two months after Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson resigned over accusations that he lied on his resume, longtime Yahoo general counsel Mike Callahan announced his departure in July.
Ron Bell, deputy general counsel for products and the Americas region, served as interim general counsel until the company officially named him to the GC spot in August. Since then, Bell (pictured above) has been plagued by a mole within the company who has been leaking internal memos to the press. He announced that anyone found responsible would be fired, and even possibly prosecuted, but the memo containing his announcement was leaked, because, of course it was.
Bowing Out
As 2012 draws to a close, so does Jeh Johnson's tenure as general counsel of the Department of Defense (DOD). Johnson held the top legal spot in the DOD throughout President Barack Obama's first term and was part of such accomplishments as the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell—the military's ban on openly gay and lesbian individuals—and the successful raid on Osama bin Laden. He also took over the Sept. 11, 2001 prosecution upon his appointment as GC.
Johnson will be stepping down on Dec. 31, and has said he may possibly return to his former law firm, Paul Weiss.

1. Context to Why Cab is the best option for the route.
What, according to you is the best way to travel from Ajmer to Goa apart from a Ajmer Goa Cab ride? Of those options, very few would match up the comfort level of a Ajmer to Goa car ride. Apart from the traditional luxury factor, a Ajmer to Goa cab experience is also becoming increasingly cost effective and, by scale of economics, pretty user centric. Hippo Cabs envision a wholesome Ajmer to Goa cab experience for its rapidly increasing user base, and have pioneered different facets of product development to provide that enviable and unparalleled Ajmer to Goa cab ride. As in - a Happy Hippo Ride.
So, do not compromise on those memorable moments exclusive to a cab ride, or a ride, like enjoying private time with your friend, or partner, for the terror of smelly socks, or the tyranny of relentless snoring against humanity, the next time you decide to go from Ajmer to Goa.
2. Why people choose to travel by cab on the route
Outstation Taxis on the highways have become more common today than ever in the history of highways, taxis and outstation taxis. You have to go Ajmer to attend your favourite Literature Festival, you take a Goa to Ajmer Cab. You have a weekend off, in either city, you take a Ajmer to Goa or Goa to Ajmer cab. With Hippo Cabs, it cost almost the same. And the Cab ride is worth it. You can plan your entire trip in the course of Ajmer to Goa cab ride. And you have to book a cab from Goa Airport to Ajmer, or Ajmer Airport to Goa, Hippo Cabs will provide you a complete cab ride.
Cabs from Goa Airport to Ajmer are more popular than Cabs from Ajmer Airport to Goa because of the traffic on Goa Airport for Cabs to Ajmer. A lot of Tourists land in Goa, to kick-start their India travel plan with a cab ride from Goa Airport to Ajmer. The cab ride eases the tourists into the environment, helping them absorb the cultural shocks after replenishing from their long flights, in the taxi. And then, thus begins a matrix of Taxis and Cabs, connecting Ajmer to Goa, Goa to Agra, Agra to Lucknow, and so on.
3. What does Hippo Cabs believe in?
Hippo Cabs believe in providing an incredible Cab Ride to its user, cab ride after cab ride, after cab ride. We want our users to make us a part of their lives, i.e. every time you think about a Ajmer to Goa Cab ride or a Goa to Ajmer Cab ride, you think of Hippo Cabs, and our remarkable cab rides. We believe it is possible to make a cab ride, in your case a cab ride from Ajmer to Goa, more economic and convenient than any of its alternatives.

A whole bag of exciting offers for anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of a Ajmer to Goa cab ride.
4. How is a Hippo Cab experience different from any other cab services?
Hippo Cabs team invests a lot of time studying different cab rides. A Ajmer to Goa Cab ride has multiple user realities. It could be an airport taxi ride from Goa Airport to Ajmer or the other way around, or could just be a regular Ajmer sightseeing option for Goa based young professionals or families. We study different experiences of over multiple cab rides on the same route – one as popular as your Ajmer to Goa Cab ride – and role-model the best case practices. These best case practices help us arrive at the best possible matrix of driver, agency and user to deliver that perfect cab ride – or a happy Hippo Ride.
We are also an exciting young company, who cannot resist thinking crazy – Crazy good! We believe in making honest gestures to our patrons by always attending to all their interests, relentlessly. A cab ride is a not a perfect cab ride until it is a perfect cab ride, cab ride after cab ride, after cab ride. Everyone working for Hippo Cabs, is ready to contribute to your cab ride personally, and are thinking about making it perfect, even when they are not working. It is not out of necessity or compulsion, but due to their sheer believe in our organizational vision – Make every ride, a happy Hippo ride!
5. Things you should do/try on the route during a Hippo Cab Ride
A car – taxi or cab – has its own unique fun to it, especially if it is operating on a slightly long distance, say Ajmer to Goa. A Ajmer Goa taxi is perfect for self-reflection and meditation, if you can muster courage to cut off from your laptop and phone. Two and a half hour of uninterrupted ride to the airport, before you take a long flight, is ideal. That's one of the more popular ways of using cabs, taxis and cars intercity. The other advantage, of many, with a cab ride is the laziness it offers to inherently easy-going folks. However, a bus ride is always an option if you want your life to be full of events that make you feel less special and a small part of a huge crowd. But then try not to imagine how it would have been in a cab or a taxi or a car. It would have been much better.
6. What kind of car is the best to travel in?
Usually, it is the sedan that most people go for, when it comes to choosing a car for their cab or taxi ride. There is a sense of comfort in it, but limited luggage space. Hence, Innova makes the perfect car for an outstation taxi or cab. What else does an Indian family need, except for a nice Innova car for a taxi or a cab, which can accommodate luggage like passengers? Innova is by far the most popular car in the cab segment. Once you have taken an Innova, you'd want the next ride to be another Innova, and Innova after Innova, this cab ride phenomenon will practically become a lifestyle choice. What is it, and it just can't be leg or luggage, that makes an innova such a popular choice, even though there were always been competitors like Xylo, Ertiga and Lodgi? Well, Innova works brilliant for cab operators, and the customers alike. That's the ultimate combination needed for complete dominance in a category like cabs or taxi for cars, which Innova has mastered with an impeccable engine and relentless performance on outstation rides and road trips.
7. Some of the best case practices for environment friendliness at a user level.
It is practically impossible to be in a cab aggregation business, and not worry about the carbon footprints from the cars, used as cabs and taxis. Cars are one of the biggest contributors to pollution from consumption of fossil fuel, and we are driven to minimize our footprints. We try to match user timings with precision, avoid congested routes and traffic, and keep cars fuel effective with proper pollution control tests. The drivers are strictly instructed to avoid keeping cars on if not needed, and even groomed to be more environmentally conscious. There is an office joke about how badly Hippo Cabs aspires to manage Solar Power Driven cabs in future will soon reflect in our innovations to ace sunroofs before Tesla Cars.
Even though our cars – taxis and cabs - give you individual luxury, and a vital sense of comfort, we are trying our best to minimize the damage done by the lack of alternatives. We keep our cars clean and tidy, for you and your world.
8. The kind or types of trips for which Hippo Cabs is ideal.
Hippo Cabs envisions being the product leaders in the one way Cab segment. This popularity of one side or one way cabs has propelled us to specialise outstation cabs and taxis based business model. Now, your frequent business up and downs between Ajmer to Goa have a trustworthy one way cab or taxi partner in Hippo Cabs. Or if you are studying in a university in Goa but live in Ajmer, or vice-versa, you can come back in a car, with other friends from your city, with a hassle free one way taxi service from Ajmer to Goa. It is just like going around in a city in a cab.

The taxi/cab can be booked for any time in the future, the adequate fare breakup will be provided to the customer looking to avail the package. Intercity cabs keep going back and forth and therefore there is no dearth of cabs, no matter how odd the date or time is.
10. Explaining Hippo Cabs experience from a user's point of view.
In today's day and age, a person who lives in a cosmopolitan city like Goa or even in a city like Ajmer, Hippo Cabs is a blessing in disguise. Not only due to work, but life in general involves a lot of travel. On an average, a person working and staying in a city in India spends most part of his/her day outside the house. Which is where a service such as Hippo Cabs fits in so perfectly to millions of people's lives on a daily basis. Hippo Cabs is a modern cab/taxi service provider filled with young enthusiasts who have a similar drive and passion in providing for similar demands of the day to day life of a user living in such a setting. From taking work related trips from Ajmer to Goa and vice versa, to travelling to the railway station or an airport, Hippo Cabs manages to tick all those boxes by providing you with the cheapest Cab Ride option. With luxury and comfort rolled in one, there is literally nothing a user desires or can ask for.

From shopping to pub hopping, everything is more convenient with Hippo Cabs. And now with Hippo Cabs finally expanding their outstation destinations to all over the country, the road trip you've always wanted to have with your friends is no longer a hassle. You can literally pick a destination out on a map of India and a taxi will take you there.
11. What kind expectation setting does Hippo Cabs have with the drivers?
At the end of the day, we think that it comes down to what kind of a person you are. The expectation setting Hippo Cabs has with its drivers is very basic. Apart from the usual ones like cleanliness and car condition with a solid driving experience, the only thing that Hippo Cabs focuses on is soft skills and communications from a driver.
Nowadays, most of the complaints that a customer has in this sector is related to behavioural issues of drivers or something related to safety. The expectation from a driver working for Hippo Cabs is to be courteous to the customer irrespective of how a customer behaves. Ranging from outstation ride which includes Ajmer to Goa, Goa to Ajmer, Hippo provides a lot of options for people looking for Ajmer Goa Cab or Ajmer Goa Taxi. Picking someone up on time, dropping that person off at the required destination by taking routes suggested by GPS, not exceeding speed limits and breaking any traffic rules and making sure that the person travelling with you is not inconvenienced in any way which may reflect badly for the company. And if at all there's any kind of a problem with the customer, the driver is required to put in a complaint which the backend team can take care of. These are some very basic expectations that Hippo Cabs has with its drivers which are very common in the Cab/Taxi service industry landscape.
12. How do we intend to enhance user experience?
Like other Cab/Taxi service providers, the team at Hippo Cabs is always striving for excellence in all departments to make Hippo Cabs the smoothest and the easiest Cab service in India. And with new technological developments happening everyday all over, the technical team at Hippo Cabs is looking at new ways to enhance user experience, like real-time updates for tracking and reducing the overall time for the whole trip, including booking time and drop off apart from using better cars.
Since the world is slowly shifting towards working models that involve data driven decisions and also takes into account consumer behaviour. We study different experiences of over multiple cab rides on the same route – one as popular as your Ajmer to Goa Cab ride – and role-model the best case practices. These best case practices help us arrive at the best possible matrix of driver, agency and user to deliver that perfect cab ride – or a happy Hippo Ride.
Since India is still transitioning into a global digital community, the challenges one faces is internet connectivity all across the country. Best possible routes, quickest distance coverage with minimal lead time is something that Hippo Cabs is looking into right now. Apart from this, Hippo Cabs also aims at providing better cars with maximum suitability for the urban population which include advanced technologies like Wi-Fi and built in camera and check in facilities to enhance and provide for an ultimate user experience.
13. What are some of the other routes that the user should try based on their behaviour and popularity of the routes?

A new audio amplifier topology - Part 4: Noise in folded cascode stages
1 Comment
This article originally appeared in Linear Audio Volume 2, September 2011. Linear Audio, a book-size printed tech audio resource, is published half-yearly by Jan Didden.
[Part 1 introduces an audio amplifier topology which uses a novel push-pull transimpedance stage that offers a substantial improvement in power supply rejection over standard amplifier configurations. Part 2 discusses the amplifier's biasing, stability and AC performance. Part 3 compares the performance of the new topology with that of a standard amplifier.]Appendix: Noise in Folded Cascode Stages
The noise contribution of folded cascodes is a major consideration for the newly introduced amplifier topology. In this appendix I will thus present a brief analysis of the major noise sources in folded cascodes. For an exact analysis the mathematical expressions quickly become rather involved. I will hence apply several simplifications; however it is ensured that the result is still valid at least to the extent that it leads to the correct conclusions and design guide lines in typical implementations.
The basic folded cascode consists of three fundamental circuit elements: a common-base transistor, an associated emitter resistor and a voltage reference, which is connected to the base of the cascode transistor. The input of such a stage is in the formof a current, which is applied to the emitter of the common-base transistor. The output is also in the form of a current, available at the collector of the common-base transistor.
In the following we will consider the three fundamental circuit elements to be noise-free (which is denoted by the addition of an asterisk to the according denominator), and model their actual noise contribution by the addition of explicit voltage and current noise sources. In figure A1, Q* embodies the cascode transistor; its voltage and current noise generators are combined and referred to the input by EnQ and InQ. R* forms the emitter resistor, and its noise contribution is represented by the series voltage source EnQ. Finally, the voltage reference is shown as V*, with associated noise generator EnV. The incremental impedance of the voltage reference is of some importance as well, and represented as RV*.
We will now independently analyse every of the four noise generators, and derive their contribution at the output of the folded cascode, i.e. the contributions to the collector current of Q*. The total of these contributions may then be derived by the usual root-mean-square summation, which needs to be applied for uncorrelated sources.
For the analysis we will make the following assumptions: the hFE of Q* is much larger than unity such that base current losses are negligible, the reciprocal of Q* transconductance is much smaller than R*, and hFE R* is much larger than RV*. All assumptions are valid for typical implementations.
The voltage noise sources of Q* and V* (EnQ and EnV) effectively appear as input signal to an emitter degenerated common-emitter stage. Their contribution at the cascode output is then given by:
Similarly the noise generator EnQ appears in the folded cascode output current as:
The current noise generator of Q* (InQ) has two different contribution paths. First of all, it appears directly in the collector current. That is seen by considering that the sum of the Q* emitter current and InQ is constant (as set by V*, R* and Q* base-emitter voltage); hence InQ must modulate the emitter current of Q*.
As the collector current is equal to the emitter current, the emitter current modulation also appears at the collector of Q*. However, InQ also flows trough the voltage reference. There RV* converts the noise current to a corresponding voltage,which again drives an emitter degenerated common- emitter stage. Note that this mechanism is fully correlated to the first contribution path, and hence the two terms must be linearly added:
Contemplation of (1) trough (4) reveals that, everything else equal, the contribution of any of the four noise generators is reduced by increasing R*. Increasing R* however also increases EnQ (as this transistor is then operated at lower collector current, which increases its voltage noise) and EnQ (higher resistance values imply higher voltage noise); yet this increase is typically proportional to the square root of R* only. Thus overall a net improvement of about v2 (or 3 dB) for doubling R* is gained. InQ reduces itself as well at lower quiescent currents (lower base current implies lower base current noise).
From this discussion it follows that, as a first means to reduce the noise contribution of a folded cascode, the emitter resistor value should be chosen as large as possible. This corresponds to the choice of a low quiescent collector current, and a voltage reference with large DC value. There is usually a lower limit on quiescent current, dictated by distortion concerns. Further noise improvements beyond this point must hence be achieved solely by the increase in reference voltage.

Flash and other rich media files

Google can index most types of pages and files (detailed list).In general, however, search engines are text based. This means that in order to be crawled and indexed, your content needs to be in text format. (Google can now index text content contained in Flash files, but other search engines may not.)
This doesn't mean that you can't include rich media content such as Flash, Silverlight, or videos on your site; it just means that any content you embed in these files should also be available in text format or it won't be accessible to search engines. The examples below focus on the most common types of non-text content, but the guidelines are similar for any other types: Provide text equivalents for all non-text files.
This will not only increase Googlebot's ability to successfully crawl and index your content; it will also make your content more accessible. Many people, for example users with visual impairments, who use screen readers, or have low bandwidth connections, cannot see images on web pages, and providing text equivalents widens your audience.
Googlebot can index almost any text a user can see as they interact with any Flash SWF file on your site, and can use that text to generate a snippet or match query terms in Google searches. Additionally, Googlebot can also discover URLs in SWF files (for example, links to other pages on your site) and follow those links.
We'll crawl and index this content in the same way that we crawl and index other content on your site—you don't need to take any special action. However, we don't guarantee that we'll crawl or index all the content, Flash or otherwise.
When a SWF file loads content from some other file—whether it's text, HTML, XML, another SWF, etc.—Google can index this external content too, and associate it with the parent SWF file and any documents that embed it.
We're continually working to improve our indexing of Flash files, but there are some limitations. For example, we're currently unable to index the bidirectional language content (for example, Hebrew or Arabic) in Flash files.
Note that while Google can index the content of Flash files, other search engines may not be able to. Therefore, we recommend that you use rich-media technologies like Flash primarily for decorative purposes, and instead use HTML for content and navigation. This makes your site more crawler-friendly, and also makes it accessible to a larger audience including, for example, readers with visual impairments that require the use of screen readers, users of old or non-standard browsers, and users with limited or low-bandwidth connections such as a cellphone or mobile device. An added bonus? Using HTML for navigation will allow users to bookmark content and send direct links in email.
You could also consider using sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement). sIFR (an open-source project) lets webmasters replace text elements with Flash equivalents. Using this technique, content and navigation is displayed by an embedded Flash object but, because the content is contained in the HTML source, it can be read by non-Flash users (including search engines).
Silverlight and other rich media formats
Google can crawl and index the text content of Flash files, but we still have problems accessing the content of other rich media formats such as Silverlight. These rich media formats are inherently visual, which can cause some problems for Googlebot. Unlike some Internet spiders, Googlebot can read some rich media files and extract the text and links in them, but the structure and context are missing. Also, rich media designers often include content in the form of graphics, and because Google can't detect words included in graphics, it can miss important keywords. In other words, even if we can crawl your content and it is in our index, it might be missing some text, content, or links.
Googlebot cannot crawl the content of video files, so it's important that you provide information about videos you include. Consider creating a transcript of the video you want to include, or provide a detailed description of the video inside your HTML. If you have video content, you can host it on Google Video, YouTube, or a number of other video hosting providers. Searchers can view Google Video or YouTube videos directly from the Google search results page.
IFrames are sometimes used to display content on web pages. Content displayed via iFrames may not be indexed and available to appear in Google's search results. We recommend that you avoid the use of iFrames to display content. If you do include iFrames, make sure to provide additional text-based links to the content they display, so that Googlebot can crawl and index this content.
Best practices
If you do plan to use rich media on your site, here are some recommendations that can help prevent problems.
- Try to use rich media only where it is needed. We recommend that you use HTML for content and navigation.
- Provide text versions of pages. Silverlight is often used as a splash screen on the home page, where the root URL of a website has a rich media intro that links to HTML content deeper into the site. If you use this approach on your website, make sure there is a regular HTML link on that front page to a text-based page where a user (or Googlebot) can navigate throughout your site without the need for rich media.

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) has a current consensus EPS estimate for the quarter of $2.07 based on Street analyst predictions. The company is scheduled to next report earnings information on or around 2017-01-17 for the period ending 2016-12-31. In the same quarter last year, the company reported EPS of $1.4.
Whether a company misses or beats analyst estimates, the earnings report may guide short-term stock price movemments. Investors may also take note of the directional trend of estimates before a company's earnings report. UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) most recently posted actual quarterly EPS of $2.17 compared to the Zacks Research consensus estimate of $2.08. The resulting difference was $0.09 creating a surprise factor of 4.33%. 16 brokerage firms are currently covering UnitedHealth Group Incorporated. These analysts polled by Zacks Research currently have a mean target price of $171.375 on the stock. The highest target is currently $200 and the most conservative target sees the stock hitting $105 within the year. In looking at the standard deviation of all estimates, we arrive at 22.234.
Zacks Research uses an analyst ratings scale from 1 to 5. On this scale, a 1 would represent a Strong Buy, and a 5 rating would signal a Strong Sell recommendation. Combining all the recommendations on UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH), the mean currently stands at 1.26. Breaking those down we see that the ratings are as follows: 17 Strong Buy, 1 Rated Buy, 0 Rated Hold and 0 Rated Sell.
Analyst recommendations and estimates are for informational purposes only and should be used along with a number of other factors when considering an investment position. Part of the data in this report is derived from Zacks Research and FactSet. Ratings and estimates change daily and thus the numbers may differ slightly if a new report has been issued within the last 24-hours. The consensus numbers take into account the reports from over 160 brokerage firms. The job of analysts is to issue recommendations for their clients, and not typically for the general public. Analyst forecasts, earnings estimates and price target projections are issued to help their clients make money through stock investments. We in no way are suggesting that readers make any decision based on the information in this report.
