Department of Computational Biology and Lane Center for Computational Biology
Department of Computational Biology and Lane Center for Computational Biology
The Department of Computational Biology (DCB) at Pitt and the Ray and Stephanie Lane Center for Computational Biology (LCCB) at CMU together serve as the administrative homes of the CPCB at the two universities. Dr. Ivet Bahar, the John K. Vries Chair of the DCB, and Dr. Robert Murphy, Director of the LCCB, are the founding directors of the CPCB.
Department of Computational Biology (DCB)
The DCB at Pitt is located on the 3rd floor of the Biomedical Science Tower 3 (BST3), constructed in 2005. BST3 has been designed to promote interdisciplinary research, housing 50 research groups, including basic science departments such as structural biology, neurobiology and computational biology; and research centers or institutes for proteomics, drug discovery, vaccine development, tissue engineering, and nanotechnology. In addition to its ten Core Faculty members, the department has 26 Joint Faculty, 16 postdoctoral fellows, and 17 graduate students currently working with the Core Faculty. The DCB students are enrolled in various doctoral programs, including CPCB, Physics, Molecular Biophysics & Structural Biology, and Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics.
The DCB also organizes the NSF-funded REU TecBio, a cross-institutional effort, which aims at introducing quantitatively skilled students from many disciplines to the field of computational biology, and enabling them to make more knowledgeable career choices.
Ray and Stephanie Lane Center for Computational Biology (LCCB)
The LCCB at CMU was created in 2007 as the culmination of many years of development and recruiting efforts and with the goal of realizing the potential of machine learning for expanding understanding of complex biological systems. The LCCB is a University-wide effort that is not part of any department or college, and has over 30 core and affiliated faculty members. Its temporary location is in the Mellon Institute building, and it will move to the top floor of the Hillman Building upon its completion in 2010. All students in the CPCB who are supervised by CMU faculty have office space in the Lane Center.
In addition to students and faculty, the Lane Center also houses a prestigious, highly competitive, and well-compensated postdoctoral fellow program, the Lane Fellows in Computational Biology. These fellowships are awarded after nomination by a candidate's thesis advisor, and after an extensive application and interview process. Three Lane Fellows joined the Center in July 2008 and two more in September 2009, and new Fellows will be named each year. The Fellows will make important contributions to the research and training activities of the CPCB.
Other Relevant Departments, Institutes and Centers
In addition to the DCB and the LCCB, there are a number of other departments, institutes, and research centers that demonstrate how vital the CPCB is to the Pittsburgh area. The list below covers a selection of units with most extensive participation among the CPCB Training Faculty.

FF adds online dimension [UPDATED]
Published 6:29am Thursday, October 18, 2012 Updated 8:31am Thursday, October 18, 2012For a group of Fergus Falls residents, the future of 3-D technology isn't at the movies.
It's on the Internet – Google Earth, to be precise.
Steve Roos, a senior research fellow with the University of Minnesota's Center for Rural Design, met with local participants in the Fergus Falls Library Thursday to wrap up the town's involvement in the Digital Towns Program, a U of M Extension project that helped residents in Little Falls, Faribault and Fergus Falls create three dimensional models of their towns on Google Earth, a free program that allows people to find and observe locations all over the world.
Fergus Falls, said Roos, was the most productive of the three cities.
"You actually got more than 22 buildings produced," said Roos.
Fergus Falls was chosen as one of the pilot towns for the project after resident Laurie Mullen applied to the U of M. Using digital photography and a 3-D modeling software called Sketchup, nine key participants and other supporters created digital models (starting in May) of much of Fergus Falls' historic downtown and uploaded the models to Google Earth. Though not all of the buildings have been approved, several of them have already popped up on the popular free program, including a block of businesses from Otter Tail Telcom to Crates of Yarn.
The goal of putting digital models on Google Earth is to create a 3-D version of the town on the software instead of a 2-D flat aerial photo. Some towns, like Getaria in Spain, have mapped most of their buildings, creating an impressive topographical display of their city's unique geographical features.
"We're taking your community and putting it in a place where the rest of the world can be exposed to it," said Roos.
The U of M has come up with a number of applications for the technology, including city planning for local governments, learning about the important or unique features of a city, assisting in historic preservation and attracting visitors who see an interesting array of scenery and buildings. Further use of the application could result in city planners creating mock-ups of proposed buildings or businesses including important information or even menu items with their digital buildings.
"We want people to learn to recognize the physical character of their community," Roos said.
Though the U of M's direct involvement with the program in Fergus Falls is essentially complete, Roos encouraged people to continue to model parts of the town and to get others to model the town as well.
"You let people know that you exist, and not only that you exist, but you've got cool stuff," he said.

Situation and Outlook
Decreased output in the United States, the worlds largest producer, as well as several smaller producers will lower world almond supplies 10 percent from last year. As a result, U.S. almond grower prices are expected to stabilize after declining 65 percent between 1995/96 and 1999/2000. In 1999/2000, low almond prices encouraged consumption and boosted U.S. exports to record levels. Expected strong overseas demand should contribute to continued high levels of exports in 2000/01, despite the smaller U.S. crop. |
United States
U.S. almond production in 2000/01
is forecast at 290,299 metric tons, 23 percent below last season,
but still a large crop for the down cycle of an alternate-bearing
crop. This years output is based on 202,344 bearing
hectares, a 4-percent increase from 1999/2000. Total U.S. almond
supplies in 2000/01 are forecast at 369,617 tons, down only 12
percent from the previous season, due to a smaller crop offset by
large beginning stocks. Almond grower prices continued their
5-year decline by falling sharply to $.87/lb. in 1999/2000, a
38-percent decrease from 1998/99. Grower prices are expected to
stabilize during 2000/01, due to lower U.S. output and supplies.
Approximately 75 percent of the worlds almonds are produced
by the United States.
In 2000/01, U.S. almond exports are forecast at 226,800 tons, which, while 1 percent below 1999/2000 exports, represents a significantly greater percentage of total production. Continued low almond prices are expected to spur exports for 2000/01. In 1999/2000, falling almond prices fueled export demand to a record 228,169 tons, 11 percent above the 1997/98 season, the previous record year for exports. Shelled almonds, including prepared and preserved, accounted for 91 percent of total U.S. almond exports. Major buyers of U.S. shelled almonds were the European Union (primarily Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands), accounting for 64 percent, and Asia (primarily, Japan and China) purchasing 14 percent. Asia is the most significant importer of in-shell almonds, purchasing nearly 76 percent of U.S. in-shell exports in 1999/2000.
With support from the Market
Access Program, the U.S. almond industry continues to dominate
the export market. China was a success story this year, with
sales up over 200 percent from last year. China is now the fifth
largest market for U.S. almonds, following Germany, Spain, Japan,
and India. Blue Diamond is continuing to successfully export
their new almond milk product. Expanding consumption is critical
in selling the large U.S. crop, so marketing campaigns are
focused on the message that almonds are a healthy way to snack.
Spains 2000/01 almond production is forecast at 55,000 tons, a 17-percent decrease compared to the previous season, due to adverse weather conditions. As of 1997, the latest year data was available, there were 629,000 bearing hectares, of which less than 10 percent were irrigated. Consequently, rainfall during the fall of 2000 will be crucial to future almond productivity. Exports in 2000/01 are forecast at 40,000 tons, 6 percent lower than last year, due to the smaller crop. Other EU countries (Germany, France, and Italy) are the major destinations, representing about 94 percent of Spains export markets. Almond imports in 2000/01 are forecast to increase, due to the reduced domestic crop. The United States continues to be the dominant foreign supplier of almonds to Spain, increasing its market share to 95 percent of total imports for 1999/2000. Due to their uniformity and low breakage, U.S. almonds are generally preferred by almond processors to produce food ingredients. Once processed, about 50 percent of U.S. almonds are exported to other EU countries.
While there is no price support
program for tree nuts, the EU does have an improvement plan that
is implemented in both Spains almond and hazelnut sectors.
Up to 475 ECU/hectare can be provided to growers to plant
improved, higher-yielding varieties. While this program was
expected to end this year, Spanish nut growers effectively voiced
their opposition to its demise and secured a one-year extension.
Given competition from U.S. product, Spanish almond growers
consider this program vital to their future competitiveness and
are expected to oppose the most recent EU proposal for reform of
the fruit and vegetable regime, which calls for a significant cut
in subsidies.
Almond production for 2000/01 is
forecast at 10,000 tons, 41 percent lower than the previous year,
due to unfavorable weather conditions and the crops
cyclical nature. Output in the medium- to long-term is projected
to decline, due to reported uprooting of the oldest, least
productive trees and no significant planting of new orchards.
Domestic almond prices have declined throughout 1999/2000,
averaging 20 percent less than last year. However, relatively
cheap almond prices are still favoring domestic consumption, and
in some cases are causing substitution for other, more expensive
nuts. Over the past four years, imports have grown in response to
both decreasing domestic production and expanding consumption,
fluctuating only in response to the domestic crop volume. Price
competitiveness between the United States and Spain, Italys
two main almond sources, will remain key in determining which
gains a larger share of the Italian market.
Total almond production in
2000/01 is forecast at 15,200 tons, an 11-percent decrease from
last season, due to unfavorable weather conditions and some loss
of orchards from forest fires. Annual production is projected to
remain constant at 15,000 for the next 3-5 years, given good
weather conditions. Despite grower complaints that high input
costs and cheap imports make domestic production unprofitable,
traders considered 1999/2000 grower prices satisfactory. Greece
has the highest per capita consumption of nuts in the world and
produces mainly to meet domestic demand and the growing tourism
industry. Almond consumption represents about 24 percent of total
domestic nut consumption. Almond exports consist only of excess
nuts, which go primarily to other EU countries.
In 2000/01, almond production in Turkey is forecast at 14,500 tons, up 4 percent from the previous year. Consumption has been growing slowly, due to the abundant availability of the preferred hazelnuts. Almonds are generally consumed whole as a snack food, with limited amounts utilized in confectionary products. Trade is mainly restricted to border exchanges with neighboring countries.

I've been a vegetarian for about 5 years now. I just think meat is gross.

I went vegitarian last year, about a month ago. My family -my mom and dad- are vegitarians also. Some people dont realize there is a lot you can et, not just veggies. Since I've been a vegitarian I have barley been sick, when I used to get sick like every month, and I feel a lot healthier. --LOREN--

im completly veg cos i think that the way they kill animals is cruel, and i dont want an animal to have to die just so that i can eat ... if yu want to kno some yummy veg recipes, post a comment on my profile asking for one and ill try to respond asap .... or if yu want some advice on going vegetarian (or vegan) yu can ask me for that too
by cherry_ice_pop! on 6/2/2010 5:11:43 PM
I'm actually a full time vegetarian. I never really thought about the good effects it has on the environment though; I always just ate too much meat and got sick a lot. I'm not gonna lie, vegetables are great though! My mom grills veggie burgers, aspearugus and zuchinni whenever my family makes meat burgers. You guys should try it!!
by omg iits magz on 6/2/2010 5:04:49 PM
I'm 13, and have been vegetarian for going on 3 years. It was the best decision I've at the moment. I hate it how people freak out and over react about it, or just flat out say they could never be vegetarian. I use to say that, but look at me now. Just try it. It will be difficult, but its truly worth it.

Welcome BACK!!
Well after a three year hiatus, Blind Lemon Aid is back and ready for action. With a new Board of Directors and an awesome event coming up in October, we are excited to be back in the game. Sometimes life gets in the way of plans and it seems harder and harder to run an all volunteer organization as our children get older and our schedules get busier, but we are determined to press on. Our event on Friday Oct. 12 promises to be a special one. We have booked our first national acts with Guitar master Johnny A. headlining and up and coming vocal sensation Erin Bode opening the show. As usual all of the proceeds will go to help the homeless and this events profits will be going to Marguerites Place in Nashua NH. We hope you can attend the event and spread the word. We are looking for a few volunteers to help put up posters, sell tickets and work the show as well. Thank you to all who have helped in the past and to those who have come to our events. We look forward to seeing you soon!
peace2u - Brian Templeton, President
Our Mission:
Blind Lemon Aid's mission is to strengthen the hope of the future by helping
people, promoting compassion and happiness, first and foremost for the homeless
and hungry, but ultimately for all people. This will be done in many ways, but
its main goals are to:
Provide relief to the poor, the homeless, the distressed, and the underprivileged through its fundraising activities.
To engage in other activities related to educating the public about issues concerning the poor, homeless, distressed and underprivileged.
To help identify what particular areas and/or segments of New England communities are in need of relief with regards to poor, homeless, distressed or underprivileged individuals or families.

Imagine for a moment your best friend is an interior designer. She may live far away but you can call or email anytime for design advice. Whenever you need to make a major home purchase she offers access to trade sources and designer discounts to save you a ton. Click here to see what's included with HMD's online interior design services.

The HMD Design Team
HMD interior designers are experienced professionals with depth of knowledge derived from education and years of on the job experience in residential, hospitality, restaurant, corporate and LEED certified design. We are proud to be able to offer our clients decades of best practices and cost saving advice from every corner of the design industry.
The HMD Design Process: 3 Phases
HMD consults clients via a proven three phase consultative design process. First, we gather all of the important information needed to create a design concept for your project. Then we work with you to define your style and color palette by translating your preferences into specifications for colors, furniture, fixtures and finishes. Finally as part of 'unlimited' design consultation your designer will work closely with you to fit everything you love into your room.
The Products and Materials We Specify
We specify superior products from leading vendors based upon quality, warranty, reputation, durability and overall value. Our specifications include a range of super-constructed high-end products as well as moderately priced retail quality products enabling our clients to direct their budget toward the products and applications that are most important to them.
We choose classic, transitional, timeless pieces for the items and areas of your home that need to stand the test of time, not the test of some temporary trend. We emphasize color (that you may grow tired of someday) and the trends (that you will grow tired of someday) in the items you can easily swap out at will. We take into account your current budget while also looking to avoid potential costs down the road as much as possible.
HMD extends our designer discounts to our clients sometimes referred to as "to the trade" or "trade only". HMD leverages our collective purchasing volume to negotiate fantastic pricing from trade sources, popular retailers and in many cases from the manufacturers that supply popular retailers. Plus, HMD clients pay no sales tax in most states. Without a doubt we help our clients get more for their design dollar.
We choose healthy 'green' design that's about your family's health and well being. Did you know that paints, coatings, carpets, countertops, etc. release volatile organic compounds (VOC's) that affect normal function of the lung, aggravate symptoms of pulmonary diseases and increase rates of asthma attack? HMD specifies safe products with all-natural content manufactured at eco-friendly plants primarily in the USA. We ensure our specifications avoid potential health risks associated with inferior products that come from countries with sub-standard manufacturing practices.
Typical Budgets and Price Points Homemade Design charges a fixed design fee ranging from $40 - $299 per room. We're likely a good fit if you plan to spend at least $2500 on furniture or materials. While we are thrilled to design for budgets less than $2500 please keep in mind that for projects under this amount our specifications may not be able to meet your budget requirements.

Let me explain why. I use Gmail all day, every day. I also chat with all of my colleagues here and elsewhere through Gchat all day, every day. Well, the new Gmail has made these two CORE functions nearly incompatible. That is to say, writing emails and chatting with people has become a huge hassle.
Here's the problem. See that big text box in which I type hundreds of emails per week? Well, it is obscured by chat windows that I use thousands of times per week. The two basic ways that I communicate are in direct conflict with each other.
Could I come up with another workaround? Running Gchat in a client, say? Of course, but I didn't have to worry about that before and I could have all my communication in one tab in my browser. It worked great. See that screenshow below? That's how the old interface worked. I could chat to my heart's content and email to my heart's content ALL AT THE SAME TIME. In the new one, I have to minimize my chat windows to see my email. Why would they do this?
It feels incredibly ill-considered not to have thought about the Gchat+Gmail use case. I mean, how many information workers today use these tools together?
Which leads me to the key question: what happened, Google? We know that designers at the company use tons of data to come up with their user interfaces, so why do things keep going wrong with the company's product releases? Is this a case of Big Data overruling Simple Common Sense? Where was the guy in the meeting who should have asked, "But what if someone wants to chat as they write an email?"

Bring back the Death Penalty in South Africa for murderers and child rapists!!!
Opened on June 06, 2012
Please, I BEG every single South African Citizen regardless of race and age to sign this petition...
Every day more and more people in South Africa are becoming victims of hidious crimes. People are being murdered in cold blood and kids and even infants are being raped.
Well what's stopping offenders from committing these unthinkable crimes? Nothing, if caught they spend a few years in jail and then get released back into society so they can just do it again!
Capital Punishment is currently unconstitutional in South Africa and we need to change that.
Paying taxes in order for our Judicial System to send them to prison where our tax money pays for the food, shelter, medication and education (that most of our law abiding citizens can't even afford due to ridiculously high costs) of the monsters who kill our loved ones and rape our children should be UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!
***Please share this petition with as many people as you possibly can, not everyone has access to the internet so Facebook alone just won't do...
!!Also take note that this is a petition for ALL SA Citizens so please if your opinion is of a racist nature it would be appreciated if you rather KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!

How to make Cholay? Chholay, Chole Chickpeas, Garbanzo beansCholay is a North Indian dish made from Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo beans in Untied States. What type of Chickpeas are used?In India, there are several varieties of Chickpeas. Only Kabuli Chana is used for these recipes. Kabuli Chana is named after a city in Afghanistan. These are white pearl color large chickpeas. What are popular Cholay recipes?There are three basic recipes. I have also added my version Cholay - Restaurant . Pindi CholayThis recipe is named after its place of origin, Rawalpindi. The final dish is whole black colored chickpeas that are fried in a mixture of spices. Basic characteristics follow: 1. Black color is result of powdered Amla (Indian Gooseberries) used during pre-soaking and cooking. Nowadays, it is common to use tea leaves. 2. The sour taste is derived from Anar-daana, Pomegranate seeds 3. Almost dry, no gravy. 4.The Pindi Cholay are normally served with Basmati rice. Cholay Pindi Chikkar CholayThis dish originated in Lahore. Chikkar in Punjabi means Mud. The beans are cooked till they start to crumble resulting in a gravy of mud like consistency. The whole beans are like pebbles being submerged in the mud. In reality, about 30% of the beans are crushed and added back in to give the muddy consistency. 1. The sour taste is derived from using Dahi (yogurt). 2. Thick gravy made with mashed cooked beans. 3. Yellowish color. 4. Served with Bhatura or deep fried Poori as a breakfast item. Amritsar CholayThis dish originated in Amritsar. Limited amount of gravy. The key is the softness of whole beans. 1. The sour taste is derived from dried raw sour mangoes (Amchoor). 2. Yellowish color. 3. Served with Bhatura or Naan. Pre-soaking and Par-cookingPre-soakingIn United States, you can buy canned Garbanzo or Chickpeas. The canned beans are not tender enough for these recipes and need to be cooked further. The canned beans are also presoaked before cooking by the manufacturers. The dried beans must be soaked in plain water at room temperature for a minimum of eight hours or over night. The pre-soak water is always discarded. How to presoak Garbanzo beans? Par-cookingAdd a minimum of 3 cups of water to one cup of pre-soaked beans. Bring it to a boil and cook on medium heat for about an hour till the beans are tender. Normally, no spices are added to this water. The exception is Pindi Cholay. Add Amla powder or tealeaves to the water to give the beans their unique black color. Nowadays, it is common to cook beans in the pressure cooker at 15 PSI, for about 16 minutes with natural drop of pressure. The water is added submerging the beans and topping it by about 2". Dominant SpicesCumin seeds Carom (Ajwain) Cinnamon Cloves Black Pepper Cayenne Pepper Sea salt or un-iodized salt. Whole Fenugreek seeds. Dried Ginger (Saunth) Fresh Ginger Garlic Onions Turmeric powder and tomatoes are seldom used. Souring agents such as Anar-daana and Dry sour mango powder (Amchoor) are commonly used. Lime, lemon, and tamarind are not common. |

Fired Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is accusing his former bosses of making \
Fired Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is accusing his former bosses of making \
This guy is too much, hasn\'t his Lawyer told him to shut up already. You made all kinds of comments talking down to men half his age & now he wants everyone to feel like he was mistreated. Go away you Fat obnoxious boar. Two sides to every story, funny how he hasn\'t been able to get people on his side. That interview he did was pathetic, it looked like he was tryibng to tell his side from inside a small room, kind of wierd setup. Guy is a loser.
Get em' Leach! I think you did the right thing - dealing with an entitled punk kid who is disrupting practice. The kid took the video because he was playing the victim all to well. ESPN also did a fine job of helping to slander your name with James at the helm holding his microphone. I can only imagine the nightmare of trying to coach this clearly self entitled premadonna who will always fall back on his big mouth dad who never take responsibility for his or his kids actions. I hope you WIN BIG!
Coach Leach has a lot of people who are supporting him. On Jan 14, a protest is planned at Texas Tech in support of their coach. Tech admin did slander Leach and used a whiney player and his hovering dad as an excuse to get out of paying Leach what they had promised by contract. It has now been brought out that Adam James greatly exaggerated his "punishment". I believe Coach Leach should also sue Craig James and ESPN for slander. By the way, Craig James is now going into politics. He should fit right in there. His involvement in the pay-for-play scandal at SMU and now his part in costing a person their job should qualify him for any political polition. The way ESPN and Craig James used that network to promote their one-sided version is beyond belief. Probably caused many viewers to doubt their credibility. By the way, I am not a fan of Texas Tech, Coach Leach, or ESPN/Leach. It does not sit well with me to see this type of hatchet job done on anyone. Additionally, this "kid" is almost 22 years old.
No doubt he is another one of these who probably preaches to everyone else to take responsiblity for your own actions, but refuses to do so himself
If your boss tells you to do something, and you refuse to do it, that is grounds for being fired! I don't care if you flip burgers for minimum wage or coach Texas Tech for a six-figure salary. As long as what you are directed to do is not illegal, your dismissal is warranted!
Get over it Leach - you screwed up and are not above the system!
Remember - If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes.
Leach, you are NOT the lead dog!
If your boss tells you to do something, and you refuse to do it, that is grounds for being fired!
Not if your boss's demands serve as an amendment to a pre-existing contract. Leach had such a contract which was the sum total of arrangements between him and Texas Tech. There was and is no provisions in that contract for his "suspension." He could have been fired but not suspended. It was the suspension that Leach challenged in court and for which he was ultimately fired. Under any state or federal jurisdiction, that is retaliation and THAT is illegal, especially since the matter had not been adjudicated by a competent court of record. Leach is not virginally pure in this matter, but he doesn't have to be to prevail. Lead dog or not, Leach has just as many rights in the courthouse as does Texas Tech. In black letter law, it was pursuit of those rights that officially got him fired and that will rise to be a problem for the school as this goes forward.
He was fired for "poor judgment" in dealing with the receiver's injury and his "unwillingness" to work with the school, according to their statement.
Nice try, but a ten year head coach is not fired for one incident of "poor judgment" in dealing with a single player. Unwillingness to work with the school may be a comfort for school administrators but what were the conditions/requirements he was "unwilling" to accept? E-mails between school officials and well-placed boosters show a pattern of conspiracy long before the James incident. Leach may have used "poor judgment" in handling Adam James but the manner in which he was suspended and then fired in retaliation is the poorest of judgment yet on display. Politics is weighted in favor of the state supported school, Texas Tech. But law is heavily weighted in favor of Leach whose contract is overly specific on areas the school hopes to merely dismiss with the application of "cause" in his dismissal. I'd cash Mike Leach's check ~ I think he will have a sizable bank account when this mater is finally resolved.
I have the feeling that this situation is 50/50 in blame. Yes, Leach probably used profanity and punishment on Adam. However, how many times had Coach and the team been forced to put up with Adam's sauntering into practice with sunshades on and his cap backwards, showing absolute disrespect for the coaches and the team?? How long had they been subject to his premadonna attitude knowing nothing could be done to change him or the attitude because his dad would use what fame he has to make trouble for the coaches?
From watching the video taken by Adam, I could clearly see he was in an open closet in a lit room which contained a desk, what looked like file cabinets, and what appeared to be chairs. SO why did he stand in the closet?--to make trouble, plain and simple, to give his overbearing dad something to complain about and to give the University an out on Leach's contract and bonus.
I feel certain Coach Leach will have an excellent NFL career and will get a
"settlement" from Tech.
However I wonder if whatever playing time and conditions I suspect the University has promised Adam and his dad to facilitate Leach's firing, is going to be worth it when no Pro team will even look at him.
I doubt that Leach's profanity was reserved for Adam James. I'd imagine that the school's administrators were given a dose of it when they tried to impose a list of requirements on Leach. That didn't help his cause. There is something so concluding in telling your boss to "f**k off." That said, Leach still has standing according to the terms of his contract which was willingly accepted by all parties. The school will have problems with explicit e-mails that reflect a conspiracy to terminate his tenure with four years remaining on his contract. Leach should have sent James to the trainers room, not a shed ~ but that doesn't weaken his position in the realm of black letter law. I can see more than Leach losing a job before this dust-up is settled. It just depends on how much this actually costs the school as to how deep the knife will cut.
Football in TX must be different than in Ohio. I have been around many coaches of many sports at many levels and all but a few of the women's coaches did not curse. I don't see Leach losing a job for profanity. Punishment of a player who feels entitled due to his name or ability is commonplace. I am surprised that the players didn't give Adam a little extra at the bottom of the pile at practice to show him they weren't happy with his attitude.
adam sounds like a cry baby. when i was his age i had been 2 years in the army and been chewed out by ww2 combat vets and i am sure those coaches could taken the hide off littllr jamesy wamesy

Waterloo was designed about 4 years ago to be a quintessential Austin patio chugger. This year, since the beer weighs in at 3.2% abv and is meant to be quaffed, we'll be serving it in 20oz schooners! Join us on for a special release party and meet the brewer event on Tuesday, July 10th.

"Buisness trip September 2013"
Great locaton with easy access for travelers. Restaurants offer multiple choices and the Angus Barn is a great place to experience local flavor. If you need anything, both Target and Walmart are very close to the hotel. I had forgotten my phone charger and asked the desk if they might be able to help me, found one quickly and saved me from having to […] purchase a new one. Breakfast is just okay.

"The breakfast was yummy"
My son told me that he knew for sure that your scrambled eggs were powdered eggs. I had a friendly disagreement with him. Would love to have word from you that I am right and the eggs are real. They sure do taste real. Always love Hampton Inn breakfasts, the comfy beds and the overall cleanliness. Thanks, C. BuddGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Will Stay again"
This Hotel was a great place. It was clean and most of the staff are friendly and helpful. The indoor pool was a nice feature for the kids, they loved it. The morning breakfast area is roomy with a good selection to choose from. There is only one complaint that I would have. I reserved a room with 2 queen sized beds, and it was not until I went to lay […] down that I realized they gave me a room with 2 double beds. This is not what I had on my reservation. I would have gone and asked for another room, but we were already settled in for the night and unpacked, it would have been too much of an inconvenience to pack up and move to another room. Other than that, I will stay here again, but make sure I get what I reserved before unpacking :-) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Best Hotel near Briar Creek, Raleigh NC"
This hotel is the best Hampton Inn and Suites that we have stayed at. From the facilities to the staff everything was perfect. The staff was not just friendly but kind and treated all of the guest at the hotel like family. Best experience we have had and we will definitely stay here again the next time we are near Raleigh without question.

"Great for families or business travelers"
The hotel looked new and was nicely decorated. Our room was updated and clean. The hotel has a decent workout room and pool as these facilities go. Breakfast facilities adjacent to the lobby were roomy and elegant. It included a large selection of breakfast items at the continental buffet, sack lunches were also available.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A few disturbances, but would stay again"
We got woken up at 6:25am for a shuttle call. We didn't sign up for a shuttle. Someone at the front desk wrote the wrong room number down. No one apologized for waking us and interrupting our sleep. Housekeeping starts making their rounds at 8:00am. Entirely too early in my opinion. They should notify you of this upon checking in and advise the staff […] to not disturb your room up one request until after checkout. Other than these two incidents, the hotel was very clean and welcoming. Would stay here again but would notify the staff to not disturb your room. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Went down over Christmas to visit family. This was our second time at this hotel and it was just like the first time that we stayed....first class.

Stayed here to do a Duke parents weekend. Hotel is out by the airport so its 15 min. to Duke. A bit of aircraft noise but no trouble sleeping.

Our stay was very pleasant over the Thanksgiving holiday. Staff were friendly and helpful, the common areas were very clean and well maintained, and the room was comfortable and clean. It appears to have been remodeled recently, and all fixtures were modern and very nice. It was located right next to a large shopping plaza with a Target, Walmart, movie […] theater, and lots of other stores. It was also very easy to get everywhere we needed to go in the area within about 15-30 minutes (malls, other shopping, bowling, etc.) and it was located right by the highway.

Visiting family in RDU and found the indoor pool excellent for the little ones(no hot tub) and the breakfast buffet the best I've seen in a long time.

Sunday Swing State Polls Analysis: OH, FL, VA, IA, WI, NV, CO, NH, NC, National — Polls Converge, Point to Obama Victory
Tomorrow is the final full day of the 2012 campaign, and all the data we have continues to point to an Obama victory on Tuesday. That doesn't guarantee that it will happen. Polls have been wrong before, but they would need to be wrong on a historic level — meaning the polling averages would need to be very off (by 3%-5%) in several states — for Romney to top 270 electoral votes. Turnout is what matters now. If Obama turns out his voters, he'll win. If he fails to get some of his more sporadic voters out to the polls, Romney will have a shot.
Today's numbers, particularly the Pew national poll, also point to Obama gaining following his handling of Hurricane Sandy last week.
But overall, the numbers are now converging. For months, we had wild polling. The national polls said one thing, state polls said another. Many pollsters showed wildly different results in the same state. But now, as it almost always does, everything is lining up. The polls are all largely in agreement now that Obama is up nationally (but by a very narrow margin) and up in key swing states he needs to top 270 electoral votes.
Here are the numbers, followed by the polling averages of each swing state (an average of all the latest polls from every swing state), followed by my analysis. Note that most of these polls are FINAL polls, meaning the pollster will not update again. This is it.
* OHIO: Obama 52%, Romney 47% (Public Policy)
* OHIO: Obama 49%, Romney 46% (YouGov)
* OHIO: Obama 50%, Romney 48% (Columbus Dispatch)
* FLORIDA: Romney 48%, Obama 47% (YouGov)
* VIRGINIA: Obama 51%, Romney 47% (Public Policy)
* VIRGINIA: Obama 48%, Romney 46% (YouGov)
* IOWA: Obama 47%, Romney 42% (Des Moines Register)
* IOWA: Obama 50%, Romney 48% (Public Policy)
* IOWA: Obama 48%, Romney 47% (YouGov)
* WISCONSIN: Obama 51%, Romney 48% (Public Policy)
* WISCONSIN: Obama 50%, Romney 46% (YouGov)
* NEVADA: Obama 49%, Romney 45% (YouGov)
* COLORADO: Obama 48%, Romney 47% (YouGov)
* NEW HAMPSHIRE: Obama 50%, Romney 48% (Public Policy)
* NEW HAMPSHIRE: Obama 47%, Romney 43% (YouGov)
* NEW HAMPSHIRE: Obama 47%, Romney 47% (WMUR)
* NORTH CAROLINA: Romney 49%, Obama 47% (YouGov)
* NATIONAL: Obama 50%, Romney 47% (Pew Research)
* NATIONAL: Obama 50%, Romney 47% (Public Policy)
* NATIONAL: Obama 49%, Romney 46% (RAND)
* NATIONAL: Obama 49%, Romney 47% (YouGov)
* NATIONAL: Obama 49%, Romney 48% (ABC/Washington Post)
* NATIONAL: Obama 48%, Romney 47% (NBC/WSJ)
* NATIONAL: Obama 49%, Romney 49% (CNN)
* NATIONAL: Obama 49%, Romney 49% (Rasmussen)
* OHIO AVG: Obama +4.4%
* IOWA AVG: Obama +3.3%
* WISCONSIN AVG: Obama +5.5%
* NEVADA AVG: Obama +4.8%
* COLORADO AVG: Obama +2.1%
* VIRGINIA AVG: Obama +3.4%
* FLORIDA AVG: Romney +1.2%
* NORTH CAROLINA AVG: Romney +1.5%
* NEW HAMPSHIRE AVG: Obama +3.3%
* NATIONAL AVG: Obama +0.8%
If the averages hold up, Obama would be at 303 electoral votes. He can get to 270 just by winning Ohio, Wisconsin, and Nevada, three states where he has average leads of 4.4%, 5.5%, and 4.8%. These numbers are why you see Romney making a last minute hail mary attempt in Pennsylvania, as he'll need to pull off a miracle in a state like that to create a map where he has a conceivable path to 270. Of course, Romney is polling better in all the above swing states than he is in Pennsylvania (Obama has a polling average lead of over 4% in Pennsylvania and Romney hasn't led in a SINGLE poll of Pennsylvania this year except one from three weeks ago). This isn't the first time we've seen a Republican candidate do this. In 2008, John McCain spent his last few days trying to convince the media that he was going to flip Pennsylvania. So did Bob Dole in 1996. And so did George H.W. Bush in 1992. Whether Romney actually sees something in his internal polling of the state, or if he's just making a desperation move, remains to be seen. We'll know Tuesday night.
Jon Ralston, the leading expert on Nevada politics (he even called the 2010 Nevada Senate race correctly for Harry Reid even though polls had him losing), has already called Nevada for Obama. According to Ralston, Obama's lead in early voting is already too large for Romney to erase, and he says Obama will win the state 50% to 46%. Ralston does not make his pick based on polls. He calls races based largely on the early voting numbers, and so far, over 60% of the total vote is already in in Nevada.
The Pew poll, which shows Obama gaining 3% in the last week to take a 3% lead, shows the vast majority of voters approving of the job Obama did with the hurricane last week. The poll found that 69% of voters approved of Obama's handling of Sandy. Even 46% of Romney supporters approved of the job Obama did. This could be a major factor come Tuesday, as these types of late-game events tend to have an impact on which way last-minute undecideds break. Many Republican commentators, including Karl Rove, are already setting up Hurricane Sandy to be the scapegoat for a Romney loss on Tuesday, though I outlined earlier today that the third debate will be what haunts Romney if he does go on to lose, as after that is when we saw a shift in momentum back to Obama which allowed him to increase and solidify leads in most swing states.
The polling data would have to be systemically wrong at this point for Romney to pull this out. Not only would one state's polling have to be off, multiple states would have to be off. And by off, I mean off by 4-5% or so in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Nevada. Historically, this is pretty much unheard of. We've seen polls get things wrong before, like a single state here or there, but never multiple states in the same year, particularly states where one candidate has a 3% or higher lead.
A few weeks ago, we could point to strange polling discrepancies, but everything is lining up now. National polls and state polls are in agreement — they think Obama is going to win on Tuesday, VERY narrowly in the popular vote but fairly comfortably in the electoral college. Again, that doesn't guarantee that it will happen, but polls would have to be more wrong than they have ever been for Romney to win.
All that being said, the election now comes down to turnout. It's that simple. If the electorate looks like how most pollsters expect it to look, Obama will win on Tuesday. If certain types of Obama voters don't turn out to vote, which is what the Romney campaign is banking on, they'll have a shot to pull off a few upsets.

Steve says:
Ashish, thanks for the constant updates and analysis these months. This has become daily reading for me.
Lawrence says:
Thanks Ashish. I followed you 4 years ago and when this election cycle started again, I came back home. I hope you do this for a living cuz you're GRRREART! ^_^
Dirk Diggler says:
As a certain goat face would say: YES YES YES!
Paul says:
Dick Morris just said on FOX that Romney will win in a landslide. The guy used to be one of the great political strategists. What the hell happened to him?
Nods says:
I hope Obama wins Florida and North Carolina too, just to stomp all over the GOP's national grave. If they can't win against an incumbent when there is 7.9% unemployment, when the hell are they gonna win a national election?
Kevin says:
I would like to thank you as well — you and Nate Silver were daily reading for me back in 2008 and you became nightly reading for me a couple months ago, as well.
Chris says:
Hey Ashish are you going to do your "what to look for on Election day" thing like you did in 2008. Such as "too early to call" vs "too close to call" in Ohio. I found it very helpful in 08. Just wondering. Thanks for the constant updates its been very helpful.
willia451 says:
I would submit that with the Obama ground game in play, turnout is the least of the worries for the Democrats.
It's much more likely that the problems that we are seeing currently in South Florida (lawsuits are already flying) might throw the results of the entire election days or weeks past Nov 6th.
If we see similar problems in states like Virginia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Colorado, etc. We probably won't know right away who won and who lost. Because the ballots and results are all tied up in the courts.
Hopefully that won't happen. But……its possible.
willia451 says:
The bottom line is the Republicans are not going to just go gentle into that good night. They are going to do everything possible within the next 36 hours (and beyond?) to prevent an Obama victory.
Even if it means some of them might land in jail later on down the road.
Why? Because the leadership of the Republican Party staked literally *everything* on making sure President Obama became a "One Term" President. If they can't get that done, I can only imagine what their party will look like in a year or so.
Todd says:
If things fall out as the polls indicate, even the GOP won't contest the results. It's one thing to argue the results in one state but Romney would have to create a compelling case in multiple states and that seems desperate even for him.
If there is a fight about voter fraud, expect it to happen for congressional seats. However, as it looks now, neither party will shift in power in either the house or senate. In short, the political landscape on Wednesday will look much like Monday's-
willia451 says:
It won't be about fraud. It will be about systematic voter suppression and disenfranchisement. Which is exactly what is going on down in South Florida right now.
If your side can prevent even 1% or 2% of the folks on the other side from voting, in a close election like this one, that's enough.
Which is why the lawsuits down there have already started flying.
Last year the Republican-controlled legislature in Florida reduced early voting days for this election from 14 to 8. At the time, everyone knew it was a blatant attempt to try to suppress voting in South Florida; which is heavily Democratic.
Looks like they are doubling down on it down there right now.
Todd says:
I agree that it is about voter suppression (fraud was not the correct phrase) but I'm not convinced the GOP has the ability to suppress enough votes to change the outcome of the election in multiple states at the same time.
At this point, I think voter suppression may make the national numbers look closer than they really are but it may be nearly impossible to shift the electoral vote in a meaningful way.
willia451 says:
You may be right. Perhaps I'm looking at what is going on in South Florida and projecting that to other states.
I have concerns about Ohio, however. Mainly because the Sec of State there, Jon Husted, has made many attempts at limiting the availability of Democrats to vote. Especially in the area of early voting. Only to have been repeatedly beaten back by the courts in most cases. And he's at it again with provisional ballots:
The man is simply not going to stop.
But you're right. I have no idea if similar methods are being used by Republicans in Virginia, New Hampshire, Iowa, Colorado, etc.
We'll see.
willia451 says:
Democrats have been forced to file another lawsuit against the state of Ohio in federal court to stop Jon Husted's provisional ballot order.
This is why I say, we *might* not know the outcome of this election right away. Until a resolution to all of these lawsuits being filed have played themselves out.
Todd says:
God is just as tire of this election cycle and not a Mormon, Obama will pick up the other states necessary to keep Ohio and Florida out of the equation. If Romney can hit 270 without them then Romney has to concede.
Ken says:
Here is one poll that will be correct if Romney wins, 54% favor repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
I believe this would have a lot more to do with a Romney victory than alleged fraud or voter suppression. Of course, a Romney win is no guarantee a repeal will happen, but obviously it is a much greater possibility than if Obama wins a second term.
Sean says:
Ken, what are you trying to say here? It is nonsensical.
Ken says:
Many of the comments are saying that if Romney wins, then the polls must have been way off in their projections. Others are pointing out examples of voter suppression. This poll is saying 54% want to see a repeal of Obamacare. We can assume most of those people would not be voting for Obama. My point is that if Romney wins, maybe it is because people voted the same way they answered this poll.
Anonymous says:
Obama is leading in most of the polls so far….yep, those Obamacare repealers sure are out in force eh?
Ray says:
So you're saying that Americans are single issue voters, and that their blind hatred of Obamacare will overrule a dozen other issues that they would vote for, like, say, the Auto-bailout in Ohio.
No, Ken, Sean was right. That is non-sense.
But you do have to look at voter suppression. Trust me, it makes America look like a banana republic when state governments can just wholesale say "this group can vote, this group can't". I suggest you read up on what happened in Florida, Miami-Dade in particular, regarding early voting.
