Best Buy's stock soars on talk that Schulze could make offer by Friday

Best Buy Co. Inc. shares were up nearly 16 percent in late trading Thursday after news that founder Richard Schulze could make a bid to take the electronics retailer private by the end of the week.
The Star Tribune reports that Schulze, who resigned this year as chairman of Richfield-based Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), has assembled a financing group that includes Cerberus Capital Management, Leonard Greene & Partners and the Texas Pacific Group.
Citing an undisclosed source, the paper says Schulze will offer at least $5 billion to $6 billion to the Best Buy's board before the board-set deadline of Sunday, Dec. 16.
When he first hinted at a buyout of Best Buy this summer, Schulze was talking much higher numbers — $8 billion to $9 billion, which translates to about $24 a share. But Best Buy stock has fallen a lot since then: It was trading in the $12 range, earlier this week so low that a Merrill Lynch analyst concluded that investors had lost hope that Schulze would make any offer at all.
The stock was trading at $14.09 late Thursday. The stock price actually began rising after trading Wednesday, before the Star Tribune report appeared, CNN Money reports.
Reuters reports that the surge could be evidence that Wall Street investors are willing to see Best Buy get taken private, even at a discount. And it suggested that Schulze might turn to Brad Anderson — another former CEO and a member of Schulze's advisory team — to lead the company after a buyout, instead of current CEO Hubert Joly.
Whether Best Buy's board will be as inclined to accept a discount is another question. CNN Money's Dan Primack argues that "Schulze must make an offer in order to save face in Minneapolis," but adds that Best Buy's enterprise value, including debt, is more than $6 billion already, which means the price quoted by the Star Tribune isn't much of a premium.

moving day
It's that time of year again, moving time. Sales follow a fairly predictable pattern in Edmonton, and peak almost every year in May. It makes sense then that the busiest time of year for moving companies comes not long after sales peak. So what can you do to make your moving day simpler? We all know tips like packing away items as soon as possible and getting rid of excess stuff. I'd like to focus on what you can do to make moving easier when you decide to purchase a home, not after the deal is already done.
1. Don't plan to move in on possession day. Although the purchase contract will typically say you will get possession of your new home at noon on possession day, this actually occurs less often than you might think. If you book your movers for the same day you take possession of your new home, Murphy's law pretty much guarantees there will be a delay, and the movers will be sitting out front of your new home waiting while you and your lawyer and your agent try to sort out whatever issues are holding things up. Book your move for a day or two after possession and save yourself a lot of stress. Plus, it's a lot easier to clean carpets and cupboards, identify any problems, and prepare to live in the home without all of your stuff in the way.
2. Don't take possession on the first or last day of the month, or a Friday (especially a Friday before a long weekend). The 1st and last day of the month are the most popular days to take possession and that means lawyers, mortgage brokers, and movers are all very busy. If something goes wrong on a Friday, your lawyer probably won't be available to correct the situation until Monday, leaving you in limbo all weekend.
3. Don't book hook ups on possession day. Some utilities get hooked up with a flick of a switch such electricity and gas and its ok to arrange for them to be activated on or even before possession day. If a technician needs access to the property to hook up the service such as cable, internet or phone, don't have them come on possession day. These services typically give a large window for their appointments, and if they can't get in on their schedule it could be weeks before you get another appointment.
4. Forget about Canada Day weekend. This has to be the worst weekend of the entire year to move and everyone seems to want to move that day. It's very busy and hard to book movers, plus, if something goes wrong it'll probably take 4 or 5 days to get it sorted it out since many people turn it into an extra long weekend.
What happens on possession day?
Here is how it typically goes down:
- If everything is in order and there are no problems, the buyer's lawyer will send the money to the seller's lawyer in the morning.
- The real estate agents will be in touch with their clients' lawyers to see how things are progressing.
- When the seller's lawyer has received the funds, and the seller's agent is aware this has occurred, they will notify the buyer's agent that the keys are released.
- Keys could be released anytime but it will hopefully occur sometime between 10am and 2pm.
- The buyer's agent will get the keys and arrange to meet the buyer and give them the keys.
- There are of course a lot of different scenarios and situations but most of the time the buyer will get access to their new home on possession day sometime in the afternoon.

It's Not Nice To Stare
Death: Stop looking at my gnome and help us prepare for the hurricane, May!
okay, creepy, how and why is jenny almost taller than may?
May is on her knees & the gnome is on that low surface at the corner between the 2 couches. I considered an establishing shot, but I preferred to focus on their faces. A zoomed-out shot might have been good in the last panel, though.
can you make death pregnant with jenny
She already was, at the end of Kenny Chronicles. She wasn't showing yet, though, being in the first trimester.
on june 18 make death 9 months pregnant and june 21 death give birth to jenny
But… Jenny is already born and is currently 3 years old. That wouldn\'t fit into the storyline at all, especially with all the hurricane action going on this month. I wouldn\'t rule out a flashback to something that happened while Death was pregnant, but at the moment I have no plans to show anything from that time.
Also, Jenny\'s birthday is officially May 27, so that time has come and gone. I know it might not line up perfectly with when comics posted, but comics don\'t happen in real time, anyway. Sometimes it takes a month to show one day in-comic(Kenny & Death\'s exploration of Ook Island) and sometimes entire months are glossed over in-comic(years will end at the same time, though, just for synchronization). The hurricane storyline is set before Jenny\'s birthday, but since the storyline will end about a month after her birthday(May 23rd or 30th in-comic, June 28 or later in real life), I don\'t plan on showing her birthday party. It wasn\'t a very exciting birthday party anyway, since everybody was still recovering from the storm.
make it next month then
july 9, death 9 month pregnant
july 12, death give birth to jenny

Discounted Fall and Winter Weeks, Majestic Beach 2BR, Free Wi-Fi
Sleeping Accommodations: 2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6
Bedding Information: 1 King, 2 Twins, Queen Sofa Sleeper
Bill and Linda invite you to share their enjoyment of their new beachfront vacation home on beautiful Panama City Beach. The culmination of almost a decade of dreaming, planning, and collecting, our 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium offers everything a family needs to enjoy the perfect vacation - a breathtaking view, casual yet elegant West Indies-style furnishings, 650 feet of sugar-white beach, and LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
One could easily be tempted to spend their entire vacation here on the private balcony that overlooks the Gulf! From our 17th floor vantage point, you can enjoy miles and miles of deep blue and emerald waters. No matter what the time of year or day. The greatest treat of all awaits you at sunset - never quite the same scene from day to day - the symphony of colors provides a true feast for the eyes.
The task of decorating our second home has truly been a labor of love. We have chosen a collection of colors inspired by the beach at sunset - blue, green, yellow-gold, coral, and, of course, crisp white. The West Indies-style decor complete with wicker furnishings and accented by sisal rugs has been carefully selected to evoke a relaxed island feel. For its beauty as well as its practicality, we have selected ceramic tile flooring for the living/dining area, kitchen, bathrooms, and halls. For its comfort (especially for bare feet stepping in and out of bed), we have chosen off-white carpet accented with flecks of nutmeg to cover the floors of the bedrooms.
The 650 feet of private beach speaks for itself! Adults and children can play in the sand or the surf to their hearts' content or simply relax while soaking up the rays of the sun.
Located on Front Beach Road, Majestic Beach Towers is located conveniently close to shopping, restaurants and fast food, golf, fishing, scuba diving, and amusement/water parks. However, we wouldn't be surprised if you decided to just park your car in your reserved, secure, covered parking spot and never leave the facility! Majestic Beach Towers offers the following all year round: indoor heated pool, fitness center with steam rooms and saunas, two hot tubs, tennis court, movie theatre, Starbucks Coffee shop, and beachside grill.
Let us share our dream home with you. Don't delay. Make your reservations today! Call Linda at Call / Email Owner .

We spent the week of 3/12-3/19/11 at the Majestic. The condo was beautiful. Furniture and furnishings were all current made you feel like home. The condo was spotless. The view was wonderful. The owners are very pleasant and easy to work with. My future stays in PCB will be at the McBrooms condo.

This condo was clean, well-maintained, has an amazing view of the ocean from the 17th floor, and was the perfect option for my family due to the 2 rooms, 1 having twin beds. I also enjoyed the amenities...the cushy beach chairs, the umbrella (to save my fair skin), and the convenient parking spot. Even the packet of info the owner provided was a big plus...with tips related to traffic, attractions, etc.

We found this wonderful unit and will definitely go back again. It was perfect for our family. With the two bedrooms and two full baths. Also, this complex has 4 outdoor pools and two indoor. The kids love to swim so this was a huge plus to have all different options. One more thing that we have never had at a condo before is there is a little market on the main floor and a poolside restaurant. You really do not have to leave this resort. Okay, okay, so I could go on and on, but I think I only have room for one more thing. This unit comes with 2 beach chairs and umbrella that are set up for you everyday. No need to lug one down with you it's all there for you. Fabulous unit and the owners are a pleasure to work with!

Our experience in this Home Away from Home was wonderful. The condo was spotless and very comfortable for us to stay at for a long term vacation. I loved the open view from the open, well stocked kitchen. It made preparing meals a pleasure when you could look out onto the beautiful ocean. The living room furniture was very comfortable and we found it was just like being at home but with the advantages of seeing the beautiful sunsets from our balcony every night. In the mornings you could see the dolphins swimming up the coastline. The clean, beautiful beach is well maintained and the Majestic Resort keeps the property spotless. The owners were very easy to do business with and more than willing to help you plan your vacation. The indoor pool was large, warm and very easy to walk into (great for seniors). We didn't use the outdoor pools because it was winter but they were gorgeous. We joined the gym for $35.00 per month with our "Visitors Discount Card" obtained from the Panama Beach City Visitors Centre (available only in the winter months). There are many wonderful restaurants and shopping areas within the community. The owner provides a binder with area attractions and restaurants. There are TV's in both bedrooms besides the living room. Wonderful stereo system. Also, can't forget the convenience of having your own washer and dryer in the unit. Next time we will know we won't have to take as many clothes. Would we stay here again? In a heartbeat.

This condo was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped. The ammenites were conveniently accessible-- from the parking spot to the indoor pools, outdoor pools, hot tubs and tennis court. It is great for children as well as adults. We highly recommend it, though we would like to keep it our little secret.

For those who are unfamiliar, Kirkwood Ballers Club is an open mic night o sort, tailored for free and wild musical experimentation. Since its beginnings in 2004, the KBC has taken many forms, while bouncing from venue to venue, including a house in Kirkwood where it all started, the old Lenny's, the Highland Inn, 1111 Teahouse, and more. It's even been reported that Ballers Clubs have happened at Zebulon in Brooklyn, but it is a distinctively Atlanta event.
The call is simple: Bring an instrument, a device, a record, a beat, a turntable, a laptop, a prepared piece of music, a song, a voice, a bag of blood, a film projector, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, an agenda, a broken guitar, and all your hang-ups for an evening of jazzy, noisy, and totally arty musical madness, improvisation, and some concerted songwriting as well. Everyone form Black Lips, Deerhunter, and Lyonnais spent some serious time at KBC in the early days. And over the years the event has hosted performances by King Khan, Girl Talk, Jana Hunter, and more.
Sign up to perform begins at 10 p.m. downstairs in the Little Vinyl Lounge. 437 Moreland Ave. 404-681-9018. Music begins at midnight and it's free to attend.
The next KBC happens on Mon. Jan. 14.

If you're in the mood for giving, call your bid for any of 35 wine lots to benefit local food charities.
There is one event left: the pièce de résistance, the Grand Tasting! Always held on the last Saturday of September at the Santa Fe Opera, this affair pairs extravagant tastes together with 100 world-class wineries. Browse the tents to lavish in the sights and aromas or relax at specialty reserved seating with views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

"The song chronicles a wife's desire to test her husband's loyalty. To do so, she takes on the nom de plume of Babooshka and sends notes to her husband in the guise of a younger woman -- something which she fears is the opposite of how her husband currently sees her (Hence the barbed lines: "Just like his wife before she "freezed" on him / Just like his wife when she was beautiful...").
The trap is set when, in her bitterness and paranoia, Babooshka arranges to meet her husband, who is attracted to the character that reminds him of his wife in earlier times. She thereby ruins the relationship due to her paranoia, according to Kate Bush's 1980 interview with the Australian TV series Countdown.
The music video depicts Bush beside a double bass (contrabass) which symbolises the husband, wearing a black bodysuit and a veil in her role as the embittered wife, alluding to a definition of the word babooshka - a headscarf. This changes into an extravagant, mythlike and rather sparse 'Russian' costume as her alter-ego, Babooshka."

Sound of Silence
(Simon & Garfunkel)
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools" said I, "You do not know"
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

A car seat is going to be the most important piece of equipment that you purchase for your child. It is this seat that will cradle and protect your child while you are traveling in your vehicle so that he is kept secure, safe, and comfortable. Because of the extreme importance of a car seat it is essential that you choose one that offers all of the safety and comfort features you need to make sure that the seat offers you child the best travel experience.
When you are shopping for your child's convertible car seat it is important that you carefully evaluate all of your options so that you can select the best one for your baby and your vehicle. There are certain things that you should look for when choosing the best convertible car seat for your baby. These include:
- Conversion—different models for convertible car seats have different conversion capabilities. Some can convert from a rear-facing model to a forward-facing toddler seat. If you are looking for a high-capacity seat that will last your child until he is able to sit independently, however, you should look for a seat that converts from a toddler seat to a booster.
- Installation—if your baby's car seat is not installed properly it will not be able to protect him as well. Make sure that you choose a seat that is easily installed and can be moved if necessary.
- Safety—of course, the safety of your baby's car seat is paramount. It is important to choose a seat with high safety ratings and features that protect your baby during normal travel and in the event of a collision.
- Comfort—particularly if you intend on spending a lot of time in the car you want your baby to be comfortable. This means choosing a seat that fits him well and has comfort features such as padding and leg support.
- Usability—using a car seat should be convenient, especially if you use it frequently. Look for a seat that has usability features such as washable covers.
The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 convertible car seat offers many features that benefit babies, making it one of the best choices for a high-capacity convertible car seat.
Conversion Capability
The Nautilus begins use as a forward-facing toddler seat that can be used by a child starting at 20 pounds, though current legislation recommends keeping a baby rear-facing until he weighs 40 pounds and is at least 2 years old. The seat then converts into a high-backed booster seat for children over 40 pounds and up to 70 pounds, and then to a backless booster seat that can be used for children up to 100 pounds.
5-Point Harness System
The harness system of a car seat is the most important safety element. The Nautilus features a 5-point harness system, the type that is recommended by safety experts. With a weight capacity of up to 65 pounds, this harness system can actually be used for children from the time that they are ready to turn to a forward-facing orientation until they are ready to sit safely using only the vehicle's regular seatbelt. This is the safest form of harness, offering straps that come over the shoulders and around the hips as well as up between the legs that then all buckle together to create a secure point of restraint. The Nautilus's high weight capacity is much greater than most other convertible car seat models.
Booster Seat
The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 has two booster seat conversion options. The high-backed option is appropriate for younger children that are just beginning to use a booster and still require more support or for use in vehicles that do not have appropriate head support in the back seat. The backless booster option is for older children and vehicles that have adequate headrests in the back seat. The high capacity of the seat allows children up to 100 pounds to remain restrained and supported in a booster, which is considered by safety experts to be much safer than using only the vehicle's regular seatbelt when a child is not of adequate size for the seatbelt to be positioned correctly.
When you are choosing a car seat for your baby you should realize that the padding in the seat is for both comfort and safety. The premium padding in the Nautilus includes a full-body pillow for support and comfort even during long car rides. It also features EPS, an energy-absorbing foam that gives tremendous impact protection by absorbing the energy of the impact and cradling your baby securely so that the effect of an impact is minimized. For fantastic usability the padding cover is made from machine-washable fabric that is easy to remove and reposition as needed.
Recline Ability
Children tend to fall asleep when they are traveling in the car, which means that a recline feature in a forward-facing toddler seat is a welcome perk. The Nautilus can be reclined into three different positions by pulling a handle located on the lower front of the seat so you can select the recline angle that is most comfortable for your baby.
Safety Features
Because the main point of a car seat is to protect your baby during car travel it is important that you choose a seat that offers safety above anything else. The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 has been rigorously crash tested to meet or exceed US safety standards. It was side impact tested for occupant retention when using the 5-point harness system, meaning that the crash testing was specifically looking for how well the seat holds onto a baby during a side impact. The EPS foam absorbs impact energy while the convertible seat's steel reinforced frame offers durability and strength.
This is a rather large convertible car seat. It measures in at 26.72 x 17.25 x 24.16 and has a shipped weight of approximately 25.39 pounds.
The Graco Nautilus has been very well-received by parents looking for a convertible car seat that can accommodate their children from the time they turn forward-facing until they don't need the help of a car seat or booster any longer. Parents appreciate the high weight capacity and that the seat is capable of converting into three different configurations. Particularly popular are the EPS energy-absorbing foam and comfortable padding that create a cozy, secure, and very safe seat but can also be cleaned easily when the inevitable messes happen.
Of course, consumers are also extremely complimentary regarding the safety features of the seat, including the 5-point harness and steel-reinforced frame. Though not as important as the safety of the seat, users also appreciate the range of color options and the convenience of the storage cubbies that help keep their cars neater—which is always welcome for parents of young children.
It is easy to see why parents would love the Nautilus 3-in-1convertible car seat—but that's not to say that there aren't some complaints about the seat as well. The main complaint of dissatisfied consumers is that they feel the "3-in-1" designation is misleading and are disappointed that the seat cannot be used as a rear-facing seat. All information about the seat available, however, clearly states that the seat is only for forward-facing use, so this is more a matter of not doing adequate research.
Consumer Ratings
Despite the complaints, the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 earned a relatively high rating of 4.3 on Amazon. It is important to do a little bit of digging into why certain reviewers gave low ratings on the seat to decide if you think that that review is even applicable to your situation. If you don't have a very large child, for example, you may not be concerned about the reviews that gave a low rating because the harness seemed tight.
This is no run-of-the-mill cheap car seat, but considering the length of time that it can be used, the average retail price tag of $189 is decent. You can often find great deals on this seat on Amazon. uasually Amazon will give this product 30% discount which mean you can save $60 on this car seat. click here to check recent discount on amazon.
Features List
Colors—there are several different color options to meet with the aesthetic of different customers. Having so many different color options also makes it possible to purchase seats for either sex, or have a unisex seat.
Recline—3 positions of recline allow you to select the angle that is most comfortable for your baby depending on his size and the way that he sleeps.
Padding—the padding on the Nautilus is designed to offer full body support and comfort, but also impact protection and security.
3-in-1 Conversion Capability—the Nautilus can be used as a forward-facing toddler seat, a high-backed booster seat, and a backless booster seat so that it can be used throughout different stages of a baby's childhood.
SafeSeat Engineered—this convertible car seat was specifically designed to exceed the standards for car seat safety and provide impeccable impact protection and occupant retention.
Side-impact Tested—this seat was developed to offer the highest quality of side-impact protection. It underwent extensive testing to ensure it meets and exceeds standards for this type of safety.
EPS—this energy absorbing foam surrounds your baby in comfort, but also in the valuable protection achieved by absorbing the shock and energy from impact, particularly side impact.
Steel-reinforced Frame—the frame of the Nautilus offers incredibly durable steel-reinforced construction that can withstand tremendous use and weight, and continue offering protection.
One-hand Adjustable Headrest—the Nautilus's headrest can be adjusted with a simple, one-handed pull, making it easy to lift move the support to the comfort level of your baby. This is also a valuable feature as your baby grows from the toddler seat to the booster capability.
5-Point Harness System—the core of the safety system of the seat, the Nautilus's harness system is capable of handling children between 20 to 65 pounds, allowing children to be safely restrained for much longer than with other seats.
High Capacity Booster Seat—the high backed booster seat can accommodate children up to 70 pounds, while the backless booster can accommodate children up to 100 pounds.
Contoured Armrests—the armrests are shaped to make them comfortable for little arms, but are moveable so they can be positioned according to your baby's preferences.
Storage Cubbies—for being so little babies certainly carry around a lot of stuff, which makes the included storage cubbies in the Nautilus a welcome organizational tool for parents trying to control the overflow of toys, snacks, wipes, and other necessities in the car.
Cup Holder—little ones like to have a drink to sip on during long car rides, too, but they don't want to hold on to their cups the entire time, either. The cup holders in the Nautilus are the perfect size for sippy cups and larger bottles and help keep drinks from getting spilled or dropped.

Various methods exists to create a random temporary file name. This is useful if your application/shell scripting needs temporary unique file names.
Method #1: Use of $RANDOM bash shell variable
1) At shell prompt type command:
# echo $RANDOM
You will get random value every time. This variable can be use to create unique file name as demonstrated by createtempfiles.bash script.
1) Download/view createtempfiles.bash script
2) Save the script to your computer and execute it as follows:
$ chmod +x random1.bash
$ ./random1.bash
Use this method if your script needs more than two temporary files.
Method # 2 Use of $$ variable
This is old and classic method. $$ shell variable returns the current running process this can be use to create unique temporary file as demonstrated in following script:
vi random2.bash
#!/bin/bash # TFILE="/tmp/$(basename $0).$$.tmp" ls > $TFILE echo "See diretory listing in $TFILE"
Save the script and execute as follows:
$ chmod +x random2.bash
$ ./ random2.bash
Use this method if your script needs only ONE temporary file.
Method # 3 Use of mktemp or tempfile utility
As name suggest both makes unique temporary filename. Just type mktemp at shell prompt to create it:
$ mktemp
$ tempfile
Make a unique temporary directory instead of a file using –d option to both of them
$ mktemp –d
$ tempfile –d
Both mktemp or tempfile provides the shell scripts facility to use temporary files in safe manner hence it is highly recommended to use them.

Gaucher Disease: The N370S Mutation in Ashkenazi Jewish and Spanish Patients has a Common Origin and Arose Several Thousand Years Ago The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 64, Issue 4, 1 April 1999, Pages 1233-1238 Anna Díaz, Baijin Zeng, Gregory M. Pastores, Amparo Chabás, Lluïsa Vilageliu, Magda Montfort, Bru Cormand and Daniel Grinberg Full Text | PDF (635 kb) |
A Population-Genetic Test of Founder Effects and Implications for Ashkenazi Jewish Diseases The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 75, Issue 2, 1 August 2004, Pages 282-293 Montgomery Slatkin Abstract A founder effect can account for the presence of an allele at an unusually high frequency in an isolated population if the allele is selectively neutral and if all copies are identical by descent with a copy that either was carried by a founder individual or arose by mutation later. Here, a statistical test of both aspects of the founder-effect hypothesis is developed. The test is performed by a modified version of a program that implements the Slatkin-Bertorelle test of neutrality. The test is applied to several disease-associated alleles found predominantly in Ashkenazi Jews. Despite considerable uncertainty about the demographic history of Ashkenazi Jews and their ancestors, available genetic data are consistent with a founder effect resulting from a severe bottleneck in population size between a.d. 1100 and a.d. 1400 and an earlier bottleneck in a.d. 75, at the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. The relatively high frequency of alleles causing four different lysosomal storage disorders, including Tay-Sachs disease and Gaucher disease, can be accounted for if the disease-associated alleles are recessive in their effects on reproductive fitness.

Age Estimate of the N370S Mutation Causing Gaucher Disease in Ashkenazi Jews and European Populations: A Reappraisal of Haplotype Data The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 2, 1 February 2000, Pages 692-697 Roberto Colombo Abstract Summary The N370S mutation at the GBA locus on human chromosome 1q21, which causes Gaucher disease (GD), has a high frequency in the Ashkenazim and is the second-most-widespread GD mutation in the European non-Jewish population. A common ancient origin for the N370S mutation in the Ashkenazi Jewish and Spanish populations has been proposed on the basis of both a similar haplotype for associated markers and an age estimate that suggests that this mutation appeared several thousand years ago. However, a reappraisal of haplotype data, using the Risch formula properly along with a Luria-Delbrück setting of the genetic clock, allows identification of the likely origin of the N370S mutation in Ashkenazi Jews between the 11th and 13th centuries. This result is consistent with the estimated ages of other mutations that are frequent among Ashkenazim, with the exception of type II (Glu117Stop) factor XI deficiency, which is deemed to be >3000 years old, predating the separation of the Ashkenazi and Iraqi Jews. The present finding supports the hypothesis of a more recent origin for the N370S mutation and is consistent with both a founder chromosome transfer from Ashkenazim who assimilated in some European populations and a non-Jewish origin of the European N370S-bearing chromosomes.

Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD), a non-neuronopathic lysosomal storage disorder, results from the deficient activity of acid β-glucosidase (GBA). Type 1 disease is panethnic but is more prevalent in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) descent. Of the causative GBA mutations, N370S is particularly frequent in the AJ population, (q∼.03), whereas the 84GG insertion (q∼.003) occurs exclusively in the Ashkenazim. To investigate the genetic history of these mutations in the AJ population, short tandem repeat (STR) markers were used to map a 9.3-cM region containing the GBA locus and to genotype 261 AJ N370S chromosomes, 60 European non-Jewish N370S chromosomes, and 62 AJ 84GG chromosomes. A highly conserved haplotype at four markers flanking GBA (PKLR, D1S1595, D1S2721, and D1S2777) was observed on both the AJ chromosomes and the non-Jewish N370S chromosomes, suggesting the occurrence of a founder common to both populations. Of note, the presence of different divergent haplotypes suggested the occurrence of de novo, recurrent N370S mutations. In contrast, a different conserved haplotype at these markers was identified on the 84GG chromosomes, which was unique to the AJ population. On the basis of the linkage disequilibrium (LD) δ values, the non-Jewish European N370S chromosomes had greater haplotype diversity and less LD at the markers flanking the conserved haplotype than did the AJ N370S chromosomes. This finding is consistent with the presence of the N370S mutation in the non-Jewish European population prior to the founding of the AJ population. Coalescence analyses for the N370S and 84GG mutations estimated similar coalescence times, of 48 and 55.5 generations ago, respectively. The results of these studies are consistent with a significant bottleneck occurring in the AJ population during the first millennium, when the population became established in Europe.

Take care during firefighter strikes, residents told
1:00pm Friday 1st November 2013 in Local
RESIDENTS are being urged to attend organised firework displays, rather than make their own, because of the proposed firefighter strike action.
The action is due to take place on Friday, November 1 between 6.30pm and 11pm and again Monday, November 4 between 6am and 8am.
The Service's Community Safety department says they are keen for everyone in the community to take bonfire night and firework safety messages on board.
They stress how important it is to follow the right safety procedures and to remember that fireworks can be dangerous if misused.
They also want to highlight how much safer it is to go along to an organised bonfire and firework display rather than holding a celebration at home.
Station commander Alan Haley from Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) said: "We are encouraging people to go along to an organised event with their families and friends as this is by far the safest option.
"Nevertheless, we recognise that many people will be holding their own bonfire parties and get-togethers, and we want to remind them of some simple firework and bonfire safety tips to help avoid injury or any damage to their property."
Mark Preece, area commander from HWFRS added: "During the firefighter strikes, we want people to be clear about what to do in the event of a fire.
"The most important point they need to know is that they will still get an emergency response and they should not be tempted to tackle fires themselves."

For everyone who thinks this wasn't invasion of privacy, may I please install camera into your bedroom? Yes Ravi lived there but he has no right what so ever to install a camera even for security reasons into the room without the prior consent of his roommate. I don't care if it is never watched its an invasion of privacy because it could be watched or recorded. If a guy did this even as a joke to a female resident he'd be brought up on charges in a heartbeat. I am a defense attorney and even I realize I would lose any trial involving putting a camera anywhere another as an expectation of privacy.
Actually you can go to jail in EVERY state for deleting txt messages if they are evidence of a crime. Its called destruction of evidence.

USCCB News Release
February 12, 2009
Diocesan Social Action Directors to Present USCCB's Joan Rosenhauer with Harry A. Fagan Award
WASHINGTON—As part of its Annual Symposium, The Roundtable Association of Diocesan Social Action Directors will present Joan Rosenhauer, Associate Director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) with the Harry A. Fagan Roundtable Award at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Capitol Hill at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 21. The Roundtable selects one awardee annually who has made a lasting contribution to Catholic social action efforts, in light of Church teaching.
Most recent among her accomplishments, Rosenhauer had lead staff responsibility for the collaborative effort among many offices and bishops' committees at the USCCB in developing their 2007 document Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, which aimed to educate Catholics on the social teachings of the Church in order for them to make morally responsible choices in their political participation. Rosenhauer was able to help bring to fruition a statement that garnered widespread support among the U.S. bishops who voted almost unanimously in favor of its acceptance.
The document sold almost two million copies prior to the election. It reached people in parishes in almost every diocese in the country with Rosenhauer touring much of the nation herself, teaching about the document and training others to share its teaching as well.
In addition, in her role as Special Projects Coordinator at the USCCB's Department of Social Development and World Peace (now integrated within Justice, Peace and Human Development), Rosenhauer helped to change the way social ministry is done in the Church by working to bring Catholic social teaching into the mainstream tradition and life of the Church. She helped to develop the bishops' document Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions and worked extensively with Catholic educators and publishers to institute it, impacting the way in which Catholic social teaching is taught throughout the country.
She also worked on the document Everyday Christianity: To Hunger and Thirst for Justice and produced the video, In the Footsteps of Jesus, as a means of helping lay Catholics to understand and incorporate Catholic social teaching into their daily lives. She has worked on countless other bishops' documents including those related to global solidarity, parish social ministry, poverty, the death penalty, and the moral and ethical dimensions of food and agriculture policy.
Ninety diocesan social action directors are expected to attend the 2009 Roundtable Symposium. The Roundtable Association of Diocesan Social Action Directors is the professional association of Catholic diocesan social action staff. The organization sponsors conferences and symposia for diocesan social action directors and promotes networking among these staffs. For more information, contact Hope Villella at 212-431-7825.

More About EverQuest's Retro Server |
Listed in: Titles, News, Interviews Tags: Expansion, ford, retro, server
Obviously, since EQ has been online since 1998, putting up a server that would amount to an archive of Norath's entire history was no small task. "There's a lot that went into this server, everything from designing and implementing the expansion-locking mechanism, to evaluating the 7+ years worth of content that exists all over Norrath," says Chris. He added, "We have to be mindful of all of the new content, how it could possibly interact with the old content, create balance problems, and then make adjustments to handle all of those problems."
Balance issues regarding era-specific content was also a major issue. Just because a 1923 Model T Ford exists in 2006 doesn't mean it's appropriate for a modern interstate freeway - and so it is in Norath: "Content is generally tuned for the era it was introduced in and not necessarily the era that it exists in. This creates a very real balance issue because these new items, spells, or abilities are generally extremely powerful in comparison to everything else that may be available in that era," shares Chris.
What about features left in the Progression that were not part of the original game, yet not implemented until later expansions? Many - especially bank slots and the map window - were left for player convenience. "Transferring gear was always problematic in the original game," Chris explains furthers. "It was always risky to lose a corpse in the original game. It was always hilarious to watch people (like me) run around for an hour in Greater Faydark completely lost because they had no sense of direction whatsoever." Benefits of keeping these features, especially for the newer players, were considered necessary.
Some expansions will be unlocked out of sequence. Chris promises there will be a website to track such progress, but at this time, refuses to say exactly how this will work.
Finally, Chris was asked about what part of this project pleased him especially. He replies, "That's a tough one to answer, really... I would have to say that the event mechanism we designed for this server would be the thing I'm most proud of since it just turned out to be a very elegant and simple system overall."

Please Note: Reader Reviews are submitted by the readers of The BigScreen Cinema Guide and represent their own personal opinions regarding this movie, and do not represent the views of The BigScreen Cinema Guide, or any of its associated entities.
One of the best comedies of the 1970's is "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." The Monty Python crew is by far the BEST, bar none! This is movie that you can watch over and over again, repeating your favorite lines or jokes with them, or just anticipating the lines and snickering as you wait for them. This is, without a doubt, the best comedy produced in the 1970s. Hilarious from beginning to end. Don't miss this opportunity to see this movie on the big screen. If you haven't seen this yet - rent it TODAY!!!
This has got to be one of the funniest films of all time, along with 'Monty Python's Life Of Brian'

A Comic View of Google
Know anyone who thinks of Google this way? From today's Pearls Before Swine:
Google's Skimpy Site Results
For all the subtle and experimental changes Google has been making to its results display lately, such as the jump to links and enhanced page links, and that Google even announced the changes (which does not always happen), I don't think I'd previously seen this particular approach to (what should I call them?) site links, or subsite links, or indented results from the same site. It seems related but not the same as the contextual show more results change from July.
You can see it in the screen shot below or try it yourself. For the past two days, I've seen the same results for this search on both IE and Firefox, and on at least three different computers. What's different from the usual indented display?

This mountainous area has three different nine hole courses that can be played in three eighteen hole combinations. All of the fairways are tree lined, and water hazards come into play on several holes. The fast greens are extremely undulating and difficult to read. The signature hole is #3 on the Black/Garnet Course, a 451-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot off the highest point on the course. The dogleg right fairway features a left-side sand bunker with a claw, similar to the emblem representing the University of South Carolina. If your ball lands in the claw, you receive a free drop.

after many years of play and transfering of owners this course seems to finally be coming into its own....quick greens, challenging second shots, and forgiveness at times. Great course....clubhouse could use some more facilities, but all in all a fun time. |
