I signed up for the Target Summer Beauty bag this time around, and I admit, it was pretty awesome. But to me the big win was discovering Aveeno smart essentials daily scrub. It is probably the best facial scrub that my 43 year old face has run into in years. I raved about it on plurk when it came out. So imagine my chagrin when, after having taken it to New York with me that I couldn't FIND it when I returned home.
This was about the time that my husband pointed out the sticker on my suitcase, saying the TSA had opened and inspected my bag.
Those jacks at the TSA who were TOO LAZY TO SIGN UP FOR THE TARGET SUMMER BEAUTY BAG STOLE MY CLEANSER.
What a bunch of jerkwads.
That's fine. I will buy more. TAKE my cleanser you ne'er do well. AND MAY YOU NEVER HAVE A DAY'S LUCK WITH IT!
I've asked Eddard Stark to convey my feelings on this.

How Can I Quickly Get Through The Maze Of Referrals To A Pain Management Center?
Sara asks the question: 'How Do I Expedite My Referral To A Pain Center?'
-- Question: Hi. My name is Sara, and I have suffered chronic pain for ten years from rheumatoid arthritis. I would like to know how more quickly to get through the maze of referrals to a pain management center.
Answer: Hi, Sara. This is a difficult issue; there a lots of different options for care in our system. Let's assume that that your rheumatoid arthritis is not being as well managed as you would like it to be. If you are having persistent difficulties or symptoms that are troublesome for you and you are under the care of a primary care physician then your next step is not necessarily to go to a specialized pain management center but to actually go to a rheumatologist who specializes in a the care of rheumatoid arthritis patients. That physician will be able to confirm the diagnosis, which should not be a given, as well as provide you with the latest therapies for rheumatoid arthritis.
Once you're certain that the disease is being managed as effectively as possible and your symptoms are minimized, then you have to address -- am I getting the appropriate care in terms of the bigger picture, my day-to-day functioning, my ability to cope with my illness. If those are now problems for you, then the next step would be a specialized center for the care of patients with chronic pain.
They will have a broader array of services, a larger number of professionals who have expertise in these particular areas of coping with a chronic illness and how that has an impact on your ability to live your daily life.

Caribbean Review for Celebrity Eclipse Jan 28 -- Feb 4 7 night out of Miami, FL
Thanks to the staff of Eclipse for a wonderful time away, taking us to exciting places, and your outstanding service.
I will try to structure my review into the following:
1. Daily schedule and activities
2. Overall review of areas of Eclipse and Celebrity
3. A couple of odd things
4. The One BIG Disappointment
I. Schedule
Wednesday, Jan 25 - We drive to Milwaukee, WI and stayed at the Wyndham Airport Hotel. We booked the night on Hotwire and had a nice room, right next to the airport and lots of space to leave the car for 10 nights (cheap).
Thursday, Jan 26 and Fri 27 -- We were up early and took the 3 minute shuttle from the Wyndham to the airport. We flew from Milwaukee to Ft Lauderdale on Southwest Airlines. The flight was fine and on time. After picking up a rental car we drove FL 1 (too many stoplights) toward the Florida Keys. Next we checked into the Dove Creek Lodge in Islamorada, FL. We had booked Dove Creek as a Travelocity "top secret" hotel. Like Hotwire this is a bit of a gamble, but a gamble that paid off big. We loved this hotel/lodge. It was right on the ocean with free kayaks for use to explore the nearby coves, a nice pool, beach/garden area, a great room, and a pretty good restaurant right next to it with live music nightly. We would stay there again.
Saturday, Jan 28 -- We were up early (but not rushed) and after breakfast at the Lodge, we drove to the Miami Airport, returned the car, then the shuttle to the Port of Miami. We arrived at the port about noon and our time from the curb, to check in, to stepping on the ship was 20 minutes....... no lines and easy. Upon going through the metal detectors and X-ray for carry on luggage we did notice the table for naughty people. I am not sure what time boarding began, but there were at least 50 bottles of alcohol, "large" wine bottles, and boxes each neatly tagged to be returned at the end of the cruise. We ate lunch at a jammed ocean view café. We should have listed to others on Cruise Critic and gone to Bistro on 5. Staterooms were ready about 1:00pm with an announcement from above. We were in Aqua Class room 1523. Everything in the room was beautiful, with the bed near the bath, and the Persian Garden above. The room had enough hangers for us, plenty of storage space, especially making use of the cabinets above the bed and the area under the bed to store luggage and dirty clothes. Throughout the cruise we were always impressed with the stateroom, balcony, and our attendants who work hard and provide excellent service. My only suggestion for Celebrity is to provide some choice in sparkling wine ..... maybe a choice of red/white wine or even 2 beers. Our stateroom attendant said later that about a third of the rooms do not use/drink their champagne.
Sunday, Jan 29 -- Day at Sea
My only comment for the day was our "guest speakers". One spoke about Alfred Hitchcock, which seemed to me to be interesting to only a limited audience, the other spoke on comedy, its history, and how to use comedy when speaking.
Monday, Jan 30 -- Puerto Rico
We arrived early (2:00pm) to San Juan, waked to the fort and through historic San Juan. We ate dinner at the Parrott Club and had a great evening/night in Old town San Juan. I thought it was good to have a port where you arrive in the afternoon and stay until 10:00pm.
Tuesday, Jan 31 -- St Maartin
My wife had her shore excursion cancelled for lack of participation so we walked through the town, did a little shopping, and visited the Buddha Bar. The area around the port and Philipsburg were JAMMED as Eclipse was one of 7 ships docked in port.
Wednesday, Feb 1 -- St Kitts
The opposite of St Maartin. We were the ONLY ship in port. We took the Eco Hike and Rainforest tour. I am glad we did. We also walked around town. Our guide said they built the peer in 1995 and have been trying to lure cruise companies and ships to stop and spend the say in St Kitts. They have not been successful. I can honestly say, I don't know why. The town seemed nice, there were a diversity of tours offered, and friendly people.
Thursday Feb 2 and Fri Feb 3 were days at Sea
Saturday Feb 4, were back in Miami. We took advantage of the self check out, carried our own bags off this ship and were in the Ft Lauderdale airport by 8:00am for our flight home.
II. Overall Impressions
1. BLU Restaurant -- As usual BLU was Outstanding! Blue has the best food at Sea, with superior service both at breakfast and dinner. Blu has an innovative and diverse menu while at the same time you are able to order anything from the main dining room and with notice you can order just about ANYTHING. I continue to be impressed with the quality of food and excellent service in BLU.
2. Specialty Restaurants -- We did not dine in any of them, but I did inquire about reservations. They were booked solid. They always seemed busy when we walked out of BLU at the end of dinner, and people we spoke to enjoyed them
3. Demographics -- The cruise seemed to have an older demographic when compared to our last cruise on Solstice. In my opinion 20% were under 55 years old, 40% between 55 and 70 and 40% over 70 years old.
4. Pools -- The outside pools were always busy without feeling jammed. The pool water was too warm (almost hot) for me. Yet I understand that the water bakes under the sun week after week. People seemed to be having fun and enjoying themselves. The solarium was another story. Quiet and adults only with comfortable lounge chairs in a beautiful relaxing atmosphere meant, the solarium was were I spent most of my pool time. Plus the pool water was not as hot -- much more pleasant.
5. The Persian Garden and Steam Room -- One of the great benefits of Aqua Class is the PG and while it is not Persian nor a Garden, it is a wonderful place to stay, relax and enjoy the heated tiled beds or the steam room.
6. The Relaxation room is a great quiet place to read and relax while looking out the front of the ship (right above the bridge).
7. The Bars -- I have always been impressed with Celebrity's diverse bars. Crush is beautiful with innovative drinks. My wife just loves the place. The wine cellar is a good concept with the ability to sample many wines in small amounts without spending big $$. The spent time at the Sunset bar and appreciated its great view of the sea, while being "on the lawn" and the bonus of not being as windy as I would have thought. Finally, the Ensemble Lounge is the perfect place to gather before dinner at a specialty restaurant or BLU, relaxing, live music and a good place for conversation.
8. Spa and Fitness -- I ran on the treadmills most days with little or no waiting. My wife appreciates Yoga on a cruise, yet this time, it was being taught by one of the member of the "fitness staff". She thought it was almost comical, imagine a Saturday night live skit were an aerobics instructor is shouting while trying to lead yoga "push yourself harder!!" "Feel the Burn" ...... she thought he was funny and took it in stride, but cancelled and crossed off yoga for the rest of the cruise.
9. Public areas -- I thought the glass show was entertaining and the lawn green and lush, which must be hard to do in the Caribbean. We used the library and thought the comedian on board (not the comedy "expert") was very funny.
III. A couple of ODD things
1. Michael's Club -- seemed VERY underused. While there is a piano in the Club there was almost never a piano player and while we walked by and looked in the club every night going and coming from BLU were never saw it crowded.
2. BLU -- the food is terrific and service is amazing, BUT it... is .... well........GREEN. I could not get over the green glasses, carpet, uniforms for staff, and artwork. Its odd.
IV. One BIG Disappointment
My only disappointment in our cruise was our fellow travelers. Never could I have imagined a bigger group of complainers and people with a bad attitude all gathered in one place supposedly on the cruise of a lifetime and relaxing. I will give 3 short examples; upon entering our cabin I heard screaming from down the hall. About a dozen cabins forward a 70 year old man was verbally abusing his wife and while one of his lines was clever (I thought I had heard everything) he was just plain abusive. I personally witness a Celebrity security person have great patience with him, but in the end inform him if he continued to abuse his wife or anyone else, the only part of San Juan he would see would be in inside of a jail cell. I wrote down her name, she should be commended. I witness many guests insult and demean staff. Again the staff generally showed great patience. Personally I offered to buy my fellow travelers a beer, glass of wine, or milk 4 different times if it would make their day better.
Thanks to Celebrity and their staff for a great cruise!

Enderis Hall, Room 982
Milwaukee, WI 53211
The Behavioral Health and Human Occupation Laboratory serves as a center for the investigation of college student drinking interventions, college student time use and well-being, and the examination of factors contributing to the well-being and mental health recovery for people with serious mental illness living in the community.
High-risk drinking is prevalent among college students and is associated with many harmful outcomes. Investigation of secondary prevention for high-risk drinking involves collaboration among the College of Health Sciences , the Center for Addiction and Behavioral Health Research (CABHR), the Norris Health Center and University Housing. A randomized controlled trial is underway to compare the effectiveness of three interventions among freshman residing in Sandburg Residence Halls. The Interventions include motivational interviewing techniques and provision of educational materials in both group and individual settings. These interventions are designed to reduce harm associated with high-risk drinking by encouraging students to make healthy choices about alcohol use.
Serious mental illness and related substance use affects a significant number of adults who desire to fully participate in everyday community life and in meaningful occupational roles such as pursuing education and work, serving others, parenting, advocating for others affected by mental health and substance abuse, and finding rewarding and creative opportunities to develop new talents, finding balance and daily routines that support a person at their best. Working with a variety of mental health agencies (Transitional Living Services, Mental Health Association, Grand Avenue Club), faculty and students aid in studying and promoting best practices.

While I was on a shoot for 10 Magazine, I encountered a problem: noisy pictures. When your are shooting in dark areas and need sharp shots you often need to bump up the iso. The general rule is that you should shoot in the lowest possible iso that you can, in order to reduce the noise. In this case, I was shooting between iso 800 and 1600. Suffice to say that the images were noisy and not up to snuff.
The Cheap Way
Many photo programs now have noise reduction. Photoshop is working hard to make theirs better, but it still sucks. Aperture 3 is no better. However, if you don't want to pay, here are a few ways to work with the noise reduction.
First, if you shoot in RAW, camera raw has it there and you should go there first. When you bring up the camera raw dialogue the third icon from the left (the two little triangles), is the one you want to click. By pushing the bottom two sliders to the right, you can decrease the noise with a concession to saturation and detail. However, I have never really founf this to work all that great. After adding some slight fuzziness to an otherwise sharp photo, it is still rather noisy.
So then you can bring it into photoshop and head to the "filters" menu. Then select "noise" and then scroll down to "reduce noise" From there you can begin to try and reduce the noise. Be care of the bottom slide and the amount of "preserve details" you add because it will make the image look like garbage if too much is applied.
I have also tried the noise reduction brush inside of Aperture 3 and found for really noisy shots (or all for that matter) it really does nothing. I found myself just using the blur tool for images suffering from a lot of colour noise.
The Better Way
So now you can see that when I brought in some fairly important shots into camera raw and couldn't get rid of the noise, what kind of situation I was in. Then came Scott Kelby to the rescue. In his "Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Digital Photographers" book (yes, I am still using that version), he talks about Imagenomic's Noiseware Professional.
I have used this before and found the results to be superior to the other noise reducing software. The best thing about this is that not only does the default settings work extremely well, but it also is a plugin for photoshop so that mean you never have to leave photoshop to get the results. Essentially, Noiseware gives you excellent noise reduction without having to tweak the settings too much. That is the kind of software that I look for. Something that removes the noise without spending to much time adjusting sliders for every single photo.
What I like about this product is that it is relatively inexpensive and gets the job done. I like that you don't have to play around with a lot of settings or find camera codes to make the product useful, it just takes the noise away hassle free. Also the interface or dialogue boxe that comes up in photoshop is simple and gives you a variety of options.
The cool part too is that you can get a decent amount of discounts from popular websites like Stuck in Customs, to chip away at the price. I was able to get a 20% discount using 2 coupon codes that I found. The download was quick and painless and I was back to editing in a matter of moments.
If you are still not sure whether this is for you, take a look at Trey's screen shots in his review. I was trying to get some to show you but I couldn't find a shot that could show you exactly the kinds of improvements that I am talking about here. Trey got some great screen shots. If he uses it, you can be sure the product is top notch.
I also want to say that I am not getting paid to endorse any of these products. Like most other blogs, if I use something that I like and think that it is useful, I will pass it on to you. Especially, if it is something like this where I use it and know that it will get the results that you are looking for. Have a great week everyone!

I've tested ZCS and am ready to put it into production for a small team for additional testing. But I can't seem to figure out how I should do the initial configuration. I want to make sure that I enter the correct values for the Hostname, LDAP Host, Domain to create, and Admin user to create entries.
Basically, if I'm wanting to accept mail for the domain "example.com" and want all of my users' email addresses to end in "@example.com", what exactly would I enter in these config values? How about:
- Hostname: mail.example.com (with that DNS entry pointing to this server)
- LDAP Host: zimbra.example.com (since it's mainly used internally in ZCS and I've already tested the external authentication to our own LDAP directory servers)
- Domain to create: example.com
- Admin user to create: email@example.com
Like I said -- bone-headed question. Thanks for any help. Oh, and outstanding product and future plans, by the way.

Almost all Vespa models produced in the 60s had a fan shaped speedometer, even if the head light was square. Due to this we have a huge range of speedo's available, for many different Vespa mod-els. Considering the numerous speedo face colours also at hand, the customisers and restorers out there are spoilt for choice! All of these PIAGGIO speedos are adorned with the earlier shield-shaped PIAGGIO logo. All speedos are supplied with a chromed mounting surround. To assist you in the choice of speedos in your project the speedos are listed next to their corresponding models in which they were originally supplied.
On the whole if the speedos have the same dimensions, they are completely interchangeable. This has the advantage that, if your sitting on a rod model Vespa with a fire-breathing PX motor installed, then you will definitely need a speedo that tells you your exact speed when you are traveling at more than 100 km/h. This does not just look good, also tends to soothe government vehicle inspectors, worldwide! The speedos from Vespa models with square headlights can only be fitted to round headlight headsets when the appropriate mounting assembly is also used.
SIP-TIP: Never forget to order the correct mounting assembly.

National Geographic has given us an exclusive preview of tonight's episode of Shark Men. In the episode "Surfing with Sharks," the research team attempts to tag a youthful and rowdy great white shark, who isn't going in without a fight.
Here's the official synopsis:
The Shark Men head to Southern California just off the shores of Malibu, and find the waters teeming with juvenile great white sharks just 300 meters from where beachgoers surf and swim unknowingly close by. Juvenile sharks are of keen interest to the crew, who want to learn more about the younger years of the fish's life cycle to help them better understand the whole story of the species.
"Surfing with Sharks" premieres at 10 PM tonight on the National Geographic Channel. You can read more about the Shark Men team here.

Train pain: Under the covers and fuming
These days, people strolling downtown can hear horns at almost every corner. Of course, they're usually accompanied by guitar, bass, and drums and waft from Fridays After 5 or any number of pick-up music groups on the Mall.
But since late June, a different kind of horn has been commanding all the attention. That's when a federal regulation went into effect mandating that trains blow their horns– or "whistles" as they're officially known– at all grade crossings. Heard from a distance, the whistles are a melodious reminder of rail travel's golden age. But for those living near the train tracks through downtown Charlottesville, the blast is the opposite of melodic.
"In terms of volume, it's like an ambulance siren, but very bassy and it doesn't move as quickly– it's like an insanely loud foghorn," says Michael Allenby, who lives in the pink warehouse apartment complex on South Street.
Scientifically speaking, train whistles are required to be at least 96 decibels. That's about the equivalent of having a running lawnmower, jackhammer, or motorcycle in your living room. And the noise isn't infrequent. Over the course of the day, trackside residents say, the whistles sound as many as five times– and continue for another four to five times over the course of any given night.
"It's the loudest noise I've ever heard, and it's in my face all night," says Allison Hurt, who lives only yards away from the passing trains on the CSX line. "When I hear it in the day it drives me crazy," says Hurt, "because it reminds me of how often I'm awakened at night."
The recently enacted Federal Railroad Administration regulation that's disrupting Hurt's slumber mandates that train engineers sound their whistles whenever they rattle across a public street. If a local government had a previously existing "quiet zone" law– as Charlottesville did– and wanted to be exempt from the ruling, they had to submit a notice to the FRA by June 3 in order to keep the whistles silent.
Charlottesville missed that deadline.
But the new regulation permits a community that wants to continue its quiet zone status to notify the FRA to that effect. Simple as that sounds, buried deep in the 76 pages of the new regulation is a laundry list of required information– including an inventory of the safety measures and conditions at each and every grade crossing.
Deputy City Attorney Lisa Kelley, who's in charge of submitting Charlottesville's application, says that compiling the data has taken a while.
"Since we have to evaluate each crossing, it's quite an extensive application to put together. Sometime in the next week, we hope to get the application off," she says.
It should be only 21 days after the forms are filed with the FRA that peace reigns again– but that won't be the end of the appeal process. City officials will have to conduct a "risk analysis" of each grade crossing and explore the implications of having a train cross with no warning horn.
FRA public affairs director Steve Kulm says that Charlottesville's report will have to include "highway and train traffic volumes, number of accidents, general geometry, and other factors.
Of Charlottesville's six public grade crossings, two in particular could raise eyebrows at the FRA. Neither the CSX crossing at First Street nor the one at Marchant Street in the Woolen Mills neighborhood has any sort of gate or flashing lights. In December 2001, in a low-speed accident, a car was struck and dragged down the CSX tracks at First Street.
Kelley says that if the City is going to install any safety devices at those crossings, it will come later in the process. "We're just trying to inventory what the federal government has asked for in the regulation. Once we submit that," she says, "we'll do whatever they ask us to do next."
However, Kulm says there's an outside chance Charlottesville won't have to upgrade the crossings. "The rule does allow for relatively few cases– when the risk is not great– where lights and gates do not have to be installed."
During the summer months, pedestrian traffic across the First Street crossing is at its height during Fridays After 5, especially with the event relocated to a temporary site on Garrett Street.
Gate or no gate, Charlottesville Pavilion general manager Kirby Hutto believes the horns are a bit much. "The train is such an obvious presence that you don't need the horn for emphasis," he says.
And until the paperwork is sorted out, Hutto has one small request: "I wish they could get on the same beat as the band."

Non-reproducible results/experiments
Posted 14 March 2013 - 03:37 AM
I've even heard people getting strangely opposite results (e.g. published as upregulation but instead we see downregulation)
Then it comes down to whether the published protocols are legitimate or it's purely our own fault when repeating someone else's technique?
Posted 14 March 2013 - 09:09 AM
This is an extremely common problem that I have seen over the years. You comment:-
"methods provided in published papers" .............. this is a big problem in that this part of a paper should probably be the largest section but is commonly just cut to a bear minimum. There are lots of "tricks" that are left out of this section that are essential for thew experiment to be reproduced.
"Same concentration, same cell lines, same conditions"................every cell paper I read states " the cells were grown in a humidified CO2 Incubator at 5% CO2. How many researchers routinely check for humidifiaction AND FYRITE THEIR INCUBATORS TO CHECK PRECISELY THE INTERNAL CO2 CONCENTRATION IN THEIR INCUBATORS.
WHERE DOE YOUR FOETAL CALF SERUM COME FROM?.......there are massive differences between the qualitof serum sourced for the many countries of the world that produce it.
Does this start to answer your question about reproducibility?
Kindest regards

WHen will biologists learn to do proper statistics? I don't doubt at all that many published findings are not repeatable, and it's simply the fact that many biologists don't know how to properly do statistics. I don't think it is out of anything nefarious (data manipulation etc.)
Ask yourself, what does statistical significance mean? If you can't answer that properly, go back and look back at a basic biostats book. Statistical significance does NOT mean the following:
-that your results are reproducible (in fact statistically significant findings may only be reproducible 50% of the time)
-that your research hypothesis is indeed valid. This one is a biggie. Suppose a researcher has a hypothesis that A affects X which causes Y. The researcher manipulates X and sees Y change. Therefore the researcher concludes that theory A is supported since the null hypothesis is rejected due to "statistically significant data". The researcher is in fact wrong, and falling into a fallacy noted by Aristotle 2000 years ago. Statistically significant findings don't automatically mean A is true, since theories B, C, D, E, F.....could all say X affects Y as well, and may even be better at it than A. A good scientist would therefore pit theory A against theories B, C, D, E, F.... but that in most cases is impossible. Statisical significance ONLY describes the probability of observing your data under the assumption that your null hypothesis is true.
-that the probability that your hypothesis is true given your data D is answered by statistically significant data.
-that your findings are even important, it has nothing to do with the magnitude of effect one observes.
Power of analysis should always be done to design an experiment to properly determine sample sizes needed. Statisticians secretly laugh their asses off at much of the bio related literature from the poor handling of data and experimental design. Underpowered experiments run the danger of not only type II statistical errors, but also type I. It's laughable that hardly any biology studies outside of the clinic do not do power of analyses. Journals need to start rejecting manuscripts without proper a priori experimental design.
Here's a great article on the topic why most published findings are wrong:
If you want to do much higher quality research than the 90% of scrubs out there properly design your experiments using POA. Analyze your statistics for not only significance BUT ALSO MAGNITUDE OF EFFECT. Use confidence intervals (SEMs should be banned from literature) and look at things like Cohen's d, eta^2, etc. Maybe even try Bayesian techniques.

In the same way that many biologists may be under skilled in statistics, most statisticians would not make good biologists either.
Instead of adversary and derision (from both sides), would it not be better to have cooperation, so that those who have the appropriate skill set do what they do best, and have others help with the rest?
I know at least at my university has statisticians available to help with design and analysis of experiments- which plenty of biologists take advantage of (probably not as many as should, though). And you sure as heck won't get animal ethics approval to do your in vivo work without demonstrating that your experiments are statistically sound (i.e. have been looked over by a statistician, have had power analyses performed etc).

Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone, my apologies. It's just that this topic non-reproducibility gets me going. We dump billions of dollars every year into bio and biomedically related research, and there's probably a good chance that much of it should simply be thrown in the trash because it was never done right in the first place. A. Complete. Waste. Of. Money. How much time, effort, and money do people waste trying to repeat "statistically significant data" that simply can't be repeated because the statistics were handled wrongly?
There's a significant threat to the scientific community from the hordes of published data that come from statistically underpowered studies. Everyone knows about the type II errors that can be made from underpowered studies, and once those findings are published, the error just keeps propagating and propagating. Then when someone tries a properly designed experiment and the data goes against what has been supposedly been " well established" in the scientific community, they're outcast like they're some sort of leper.
Next time anyone reads a journal article, look at how many samples were tested to create the data. Shockingly, a large amount of journal articles don't even tell you. Even in articles that do tell you sample size, they never give justification for the amount of samples being tested. This may be less prevalent in studies involving animals, since yes, many organizations required power of analysis in animal studies, but what about the huge amount of other research being done on the molecular or cellular level?

No problems, I completely understand. We all have our pet peeves
I completely agree about the waste of research dollars. There is one lab in my department who do careless science and it irritates me to no end the amount of funding they waste (particularly from charitable organisations, thanks to them working on quite niche diseases) chasing up things they KNOW aren't going anywhere simply to fund their salaries and keep the lab going. So not cool.
Good discussion to be having, I think we all need to be more careful and thoughtful when it comes to our experimental design and statistical analyses.
Posted 15 March 2013 - 12:30 AM
However, I think that the majority of stats that is taught (well, at least when I was undergrad about 10 years ago) is totally about parametric statistics with non-parametrics not even mentioned, despite me getting up to a 2nd year (sophomoric?? I don't know the US system) course designed for non-maths majors.
Posted 15 March 2013 - 05:10 AM
it seems that is what science noob was questioning and uncle rhombus' response was about. sometimes investigators omit information regarding a method, either intentionally or not. once, after we published a (basically) procedure paper, i realized that we had left out some important information regarding one step. that would certainly make it difficult to reproduce our work (without considering poa or other statistical significance) (fortunately, it was something that was easy to figure out).
talent does what it can
genius does what it must
i used to do what i got paid to do

DETROIT Wayne State University researchers are testing a way to determine the status of fetal chromosomes that could lead to healthier outcomes for mothers and their babies.
Supported by a two-year, $418,000 exploratory/developmental grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health, the researchers will capture human fetal cells for genetic study within the first two months of pregnancy using a newly developed, safe, noninvasive retrieval technique similar to a Pap test.
D. Randall Armant, Ph.D., and Michael P. Diamond, M.D., professors of obstetrics and gynecology in Wayne State's School of Medicine, are the principal investigators of the study. Susan Land, Ph.D., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, is a co-investigator.
Titled "Genetic Analysis of Human First Trimester Trophoblast in Ongoing Pregnancies," the project targets cells called trophoblasts, which surround the blastocyst, a cluster of cells that results from successful fertilization. Researchers are particularly interested in "invasive" trophoblasts, which attach the blastocyst to the uterine wall; the cells become the placenta and the membranes that nourish and protect the developing organism.
Such cells carry genetic material from the fetus. Armant's team will gather them through transcervical sampling, a method that uses a cytobrush inserted into the cervix. Researchers believe the technique is less intrusive than previously used methods, yields intact fetal cells and can be done as early as six to 12 weeks; doctors typically must wait 10 to 14 weeks to use other methods, which can carry more risk to mothers and fetuses.
"The earlier you get the information, the more time the doctor has to manage whatever problems are coming up during or after the mother's pregnancy," Armant said. "It also gives the parents more time to make decisions about the pregnancy."
Researchers will isolate trophoblasts using immunomagnetic nanotechnology, taking advantage of unique proteins on the surface of fetal cells. Highly sensitive genetic tools capable of analyzing single cells will verify the fetal origin of captured cells before their DNA is analyzed for chromosome number.
Armant said that tests based on fetal cells obtained from the cervix eventually could alert doctors to things like ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, preterm labor, poor fetal growth, preeclampsia, fetal Rh incompatibility and chromosome number disorders, like Down syndrome. It also could help detect inherited genetic diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anemia and hemophilia.
The goal is to determine if placental cells obtained from the cervix accurately represent the chromosomal status of the fetus.
"Development of this diagnostic platform for the detection of chromosome number disorders could establish an innovative approach for prenatal genetic testing that would provide immense opportunities for improving the health of mothers and their babies," Armant said.

Kolkata: The Trinamool Congress on Wednesday slapped a legal notice on former West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and demanded an apology from him for questioning his successor Mamata Banerjee's honesty.
The notice, sent by lawyer Rajdeep Mazumdar following the directive of the party's all India general secretary Mukul Roy, asked Mr Bhattacharjee to apologise publicly within 48 hours for his remarks against the Trinamool chief, failing which the party would start legal proceedings against him in both civil and criminal courts.
Raising questions about Ms Banerjee being projected as a "symbol of honesty" by the Trinamool, CPI-M politburo member Mr Bhattacharjee on Tuesday asked the media to probe her family's financial situation after she came to power.
On Wednesday, Trinamool leader and Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim slammed Mr Bhattacharjee.
"Nobody in Indian politics can question Mamata Banerjee's honesty. Workers of the Trinamool Congress believe her. The people of the state believe her. Buddhadeb should come to his senses. When that happens, he will admit his mistake and apologise to Banerjee," Mr Hakim said.
"Bhattacharjee left (former chief minister) Jyoti Basu's ministry in the 1990s. His daughter said he would not continue in a ministry of thieves. But he rejoined the cabinet in a couple of years lured by its office," he said.
Mr Hakim then referred to the Left Front's defeat in the 2011 assembly polls.
"Bhattacharjee was rejected by the people of the state. Even people of his constituency rejected him. He has no moral right to make such allegations against a person of integrity like Banerjee, who is a real mass leader," Hakim said.
"We condemn his statement. Mamata Banerjee has faith in the people. We leave the matter to the people who will give a befitting reply (to Bhattacharjee)," he said.
Lashing out at Mr Bhattacharjee, who had during a TV interview gave Ms Banerjee a "zero" for her performance, Mr Hakim said: "When West Bengal is on the fast track to development, peace and progress, he is giving a zero to the government. Bhattacharjee himself is a big zero. Can you name one industrial venture which succeeded during his tenure? In contrast, he left the state with 55,000 closed factories".
Asked to comment in an interview with Bengali TV channel Chobbis Ghanta on Trinamool projecting Ms Banerjee as a symbol of honesty, Mr Bhattacharjee replied: "I'm unable to agree".
Pressed further, he said: "You conduct a probe into her family condition now as compared to what it was earlier. According to my yardstick, she does not pass the yardstick of honesty."
"I can't accept her as being honest. This is no secret. A lot of people close to her know this and they have started talking about it," he said.
Asked if he could provide details, Mr Bhattacharjee said: "I'm not a drain inspector. You can probe it if you want to. Many know what people close to her are doing. Everything will come out easily if there is an investigation."
On Mr Bhattacharjee's reference to Ms Banerjee's family, Mr Hakim said: "Every individual has the right to earn. Nobody can question this. For example, I am in politics, but my brother may not be in politics. He can pursue his own calling."
"The income tax and other government institutions are there to look into what people possess. No individual can conduct an inquiry," he said.

Go surfing with Web-enabled guitar
'Smart' instrument allows you to check your e-mails between sets
The original Telecaster is popular with rock stars, including Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos (center).
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Fender has created the perfect instrument for computer-loving musicians: a Web-enabled guitar.
The guitar company has teamed up with chipmaker Intel to create the prototype, which enables guitarists to send e-mails and surf the Net between sets.
Using the hollow space inside the guitar, its creators have built the computer technology into the back of the instrument.
Called the Intel Concept Telecaster Guitar -- or "Intelecaster" for short -- the musical instrument would cost several thousand pounds if it ever became a commercial reality.
The original Fender Telecaster -- known then as the Broadcaster -- went on sale in autumn 1950. It was one of the first electric guitars to be produced on a substantial scale.
Intel spokesman Simon Shipley said the new guitar would help aspiring musicians to record and playback their music, or e-mail it to prospective agents, fellow band members or friends.
They could also download and playback their favorite riffs from the Internet to try and copy the sound.
Built-in software meant the player could access a huge range of sounds directly from the computer.
Shipley said the new Fender would bring new meaning to surfing and guitars.
"Forty years after the first surf guitar sounds came out of California, a new generation of 'surfing guitars' have been born," he said.
"With this guitar, it doesn't matter if you're Joe Walsh or Joe Bloggs, you'll sound just as good once you download a few of your favorite tracks, and strike a pose in front of the mirror."

Using a Farm and a Combine I have a sweet automatic farm set up, which churns out wheat and bread. The only problem is I have to go and fuel the engines (Hobbyist steam engines) every now and again to make the thing tick over.
I'd like to use solar power for an unattended farm. I'd use the solar to drive electrical engines. How many solar panels would I need? Is it possible to use only enough solar panels to power one machine, and alternate which engine is powered using redstone? (the turnover is slow, so alternating every few minutes between machines would be fine.)

EDIT : Edited wiki with these instructions: feel free to comment / edit wiki first : http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/MacOSX
I will try to complete the wiki page later, in order to deprecate this (too) long thread... What follows is left for "history" until i complete the wiki page :
Some time ago I wrote:Noticed that the official guide is outdated... (http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/MacOSX)
So just edited that guide, i guess that might help some people...
Port package seems to have been improved, making install a lot easier, thanks to "devans", for maintaining that package.
This just worked for me on Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Deluge 1.3.1
EDIT : 1.3.3 / Lion : Looks like deluge 1.3.3 macports package (and its dependencies) has been mostly fixed, the following procedure should be working except for libnotify dependency.
Just remove that dependency, which is in fact optional, by deleting the line mentioning notify dependency, you can use that to do so:(Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt deluge will use growl anyway...)
Code: Select all
sudo port edit deluge
EDIT : 1.3.2 version : Macports has been updated, this howto still works
EDIT : The short version :
- Without X11 (Quartz-GTK) :or if that doesn't work :
Code: Select all
sudo port install boost +python26 gtk2 +no_x11+quartz libnotify +no_x11+quartz deluge
Code: Select all
sudo port install boost +python26 pango +no_x11+quartz cairo +no_x11+quartz gtk2 +no_x11+quartz libnotify +no_x11+quartz deluge
- With X11 :
Code: Select all
sudo port install boost +python26 deluge
EDIT : The long version (you should also read replies) :
These instructions assume a clean install of Snow Leopard (no XQuartz, Darwine, Winebottler, or MacPorts / Fink installed before starting at step 1).
- Install X11 from your Leopard CD (it should already be installed as it installs by default on Leopard and Snow Leopard)
- Download Xcode tools from Apple Developer Connection (free registration required for download).
- Download and install Mac Ports from MacPorts.org. (1.9.2 as of this writing).
- Open a terminal prompt (from Utilities) :Yes that's almost all you need, really, and patience... (1.8GB downloaded, 3~4h of total build time with CPU @ 100%)
Code: Select all
sudo port install deluge
- After some time (1~2 hours), while building libtorrent it will ask to install boost with +python26 option, just issue the command proposed. that will take... again 1h or so.
Code: Select all
sudo port install boost +python26
- then resume deluge install, again :
Code: Select all
sudo port install deluge
That one liner should also do the job (untested, too lazy to uninstall all and get that 5h compilation again ) :
Code: Select all
sudo port install boost +python26 deluge
Then you are done! you can now use deluge :
- Open terminal, assuming port is in your path (/opt/local/bin) :
- Start deluged daemon:
Code: Select all
deluged-2.6 &
- Start deluge:
Code: Select all
deluge-2.6 &

Abstract and Keywords
In the 1850s, Juana Catarina Romero, known popularly as Juana Cata, peddled her cigarettes on the streets of Tehuantepec in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, an activity that enabled her to serve as a spy for the liberals under the command of Captain Porfirio Díaz during the War of the Reform (1858–1860). By 1890, Romero (1837–1915) had emerged as an international merchant, sugar cane producer and refiner, philanthropist, and "modernizing" cacica of the city of Tehuantepec. As powerful women rarely receive credit for their achievements, popular myth attributes her success to the men in her life, a supposed youthful love affair with Díaz or a later lover, Colonel Remigio Toledo. In contrast, a study of her career helps to shed light on how women could attain and exercise power in the 19th century and the ways in which they participated in the construction of the nation-state and a capitalist economy. Her trajectory shows that when allied with these forces of modernization, women could take on a more public role in society. It also reveals that it is through the lens of local and regional history that women's contributions and accomplishments, so often erased in national histories, can be made visible.
Keywords: women, gender, cacica, myth, nation-state, local and regional history, capitalism, modernization, War of the Reform, War of French Intervention, Porfiriato, Revolution, viajera, traje of the Tehuana, mayordomo, Tehuantepec

Some of the world's biggest Internet and media companies have joined together to offer a set of guidelines aimed at protecting copyrights online.
The idea is to enable the growth and development of user-generated content online without violating the copyrights of the content owners, according to a statement released by CBS, Dailymotion, Fox Entertainment Group, Microsoft, MySpace, NBC Universal, Veoh Networks, Viacom and The Walt Disney Company.
"The principles acknowledge a collective respect for protecting copyrights and recognize that filtering technologies must be effective and are only a part of what is necessary to achieve this goal," according to the statement.
The User Generated Content Principles advocate using technology to eliminate content uploaded by users that infringes on a copyright as well as blocking copyright-infringing material that was uploaded before it was made publicly available.
"These principles offer a road map for unlocking the enormous potential of online video and user-generated content," said Bob Iger, president and CEO of Disney, in the statement. "Cooperation among us, aided by emerging technologies, can clear the way for further growth in the availability of online video in ways that will be good for consumers, good for copyright owners and good for uploading services."
On Monday, Google Inc. said it has a video-blocking tool in beta testing that will allow content owners to intercept copyrighted clips as they're uploaded to YouTube, its video-sharing site.
In March, Viacom sued YouTube and its parent company, Google Inc., for more than US$1 billion, saying the companies are infringing on Viacom's copyrights because almost 160,000 unauthorized video clips are available for viewing on YouTube.

The 12-foot patch of black ice had concerned [Ms.] Williams-Barber and her neighbors for several weeks.... At 9:30 am, 10 to 15 minutes after a tow truck had removed [the] Mustang [from the first accident] Williams-Barber heard a huge dull thud, ran to open her front door. The driver's side of a 1988 Jeep was smashed against a tree. Williams heard a little boy inside screaming hysterically. "He was just in dreadful shock," Williams-Barber said. "We didn't know if maybe he was bleeding internally. His mother was laying beside him unconscious. He was totally distraught.--Washington Post, January 12, 1999
The distraught child in the newspaper article was my son Jesse, who had just celebrated his eighth birthday. He emerged without serious physical injury. For myself, however, it was an altogether different story. The accident left me with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). I was in a coma for six weeks; initially, the doctors at Georgetown University Hospital were unsure whether I'd live. Once I passed the crucial 72-hour mark still alive, they prepared my husband, Dennis, saying that if I did awake, I would not recognize him or our son.
I did slowly awake, but it was not a classic Hollywood wakeup. It took well over a month for me to go from being able to move my fingers on command to mumbling a word or two.
After four months in the hospital, I was finally able to come home. I could not sit up. I could not hold a straw. I was incontinent. I could not feel any emotions whatsoever. For the next two and a half years, I required 24-hour nursing. The nurses were my hands, my fingers, my brain. Five years of intensive rehabilitation have followed. Today, I can dress and take care of myself, speak slowly but understandably, concentrate for more than five minutes, read a few pages in one sitting, walk with the assistance of a cane or arm. (I am also thin--that's good news. I call it the coma diet.)
Before the accident my life was very hectic. I was the queen of multitasking. In the morning before getting dressed for work, I would listen to my voice mail and note everyone who'd called. As Dennis left for work early, I would feed the cats, get Jesse dressed and take him to school, and then head to the office. Using my car phone I would return phone calls, and dictate letters and speeches to my secretary (on his voice mail). Before the accident I spent eight years as the associate director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (legislative director and supervisor of the legislative assistants) and more than two years as the Union's regional director of the Mid-Atlantic Council (serving some seventy congregations in a six-state area). I used to speak regularly at synagogues or to large Jewish or interfaith groups on social action issues and appear on television talk shows.
I no longer can do a hundred things at once; I can do only one thing at a time. I am no longer out in the world as Lynne Landsberg, the rabbi or the regional director or the social action expert; I'm mostly in my kitchen just learning how to be a functioning human being. Fortunately, I've retained my sense of humor.
As my recovery continues, I often reflect on how I managed to find the strength--the resilience--to rebuild my life. I believe the answer lies in three interventions, each informed by Judaism: directed prayer on my behalf, attentive visits, and practical support.
Throughout my entire hospital stay, many prayers were offered for my healing in synagogues across the country and in Israel. At my bedside, rabbis, cantors, and laypeople recited or sang psalms and prayers. Rabbi Danny Zemel sang Shalom Aleichem over and over. My brothers, I am told, were sometimes moved to tears. He would also sing Hineh Mah Tov and sometimes Lecha Dodi. "I thought that any really familiar prayer tune might somehow seep into your unconscious," he later told me. Other visitors often sang Debbie Friedman's contemporary musical version of the Mi Shebeirach:
May the source of strength, who blessed the ones before us, help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing.
Bless those in need of healing with r'fua sh'leima, the renewal of body, the renewal of spirit.
And let us say, Amen.
I later thanked Debbie for teaching the Mi Shebeirach to the entire Reform Movement just in time for my accident. It was as if the arms of the Jewish community were wrapped around me, holding me tightly yet lovingly, keeping me in this world.
Especially important to me was the presence of my family. Within two hours of the accident, my 80-year-old father was on a plane from West Palm Beach to Washington, DC. He moved into our house and sat in my hospital room every day for the next four months. Knowing that Dad, Dennis, and my two brothers Jonathan and Michael were there filled me with warmth; it was as if I were curled up in the family lap. Jesse did not visit until the last few weeks; the doctors felt that an 8-year-old would be traumatized seeing his mother in a coma or with a feeding tube in her stomach, a ventilator in her throat, IV tubes in her arms, and a pressure monitor sticking out of her skull.
Not long after the accident, Amy Scheinerman, a rabbi I barely knew, went online asking her fellow clergy to recite psalms daily on my behalf. A great many people volunteered, and Rabbi Scheinerman assigned all of our tradition's 150 psalms. When I came home from the hospital, almost everyone sent me copies of "their" psalm along with beautiful, evocative letters. Rabbi Elias Lieberman, who was reciting Psalm 17, wrote on July 31, 2001: "I knew that, initially, you were in a deep coma. The closing line of this psalm ["And let me, when I awaken, see nothing but the light of Your face"] spoke to me every time I held you in my thoughts and prayers....I could well imagine that one day you would open your eyes, emerging from the dark of your coma, and see the light of God's face reflected in the faces of your loved ones."
Attentive Visits
In the hospital, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism helped to regulate the flow of visitors. The room was often full. The hospital lobby attendant who signed in visitors told my father that I often had more visitors than the rest of the patients in the hospital combined! I don't know if my father was giving out free food, but my room was quite lively, regardless of whether I was conscious or unconscious. Friends, colleagues, and loved ones held my hand, told me stories, coaxed me with humor, and included me in their conversations and laughter even when I could not respond. One friend walked into my coma room, bent over my bed, and commanded: "Lynne, wake up! You're missing the Last Call Sale at Neiman's!" Another visitor was a former RAC legislative assistant, Lisa Selfon, whom I had visited in a hospital a few years earlier after she had been struck by lightning. I think one of us must have said, "We have to stop meeting like this."
On a Friday afternoon about three months after the accident, board members of the Union's Mid-Atlantic Council brought a challah to my hospital bedside. They helped me recite the Motzi, and we broke bread. It was the first time since my accident that I had said anything in Hebrew. Reciting a prayer in Hebrew, in community, helped me realize, later on, that during my entire crisis period I had been on the receiving end of the mitzvahof bikur cholim, compassionate and involved visitation of the sick. Each visit diminished my feelings of isolation and affirmed my connection to the world I had known before my brain injury. While I was in the hospital, those who fulfilled this mitzvah brought the world to me. Once I was settled back home, my visitors brought me to the world.
Practical Support
With their very practical support, the Jewish community helped deliver my family from the abyss and ushered me into the next stage of recovery, the post-hospital period.
While I was in the coma, Temple Micah's caring committee, called Hineini, had gone into action, mobilizing the congregation to cook Shabbat dinners for my three guys: my dad, my husband, and my son. Every Friday, a dinner would arrive, along with a challah, candles, and wine for Kiddush. And after I came home, the meals kept coming, until, with tremendous help from my nurse and Dennis, I was able to prepare our family's Shabbat dinner. It would be for me a crucial step forward, as well as the first sobering realization that I would never again be able to do things as I had done them before the accident. People who suffer traumatic brain injury have to reconnect the brain to the body, and that entails relearning everything. I had to relearn how to walk, relearn how to talk, relearn how to concentrate and read, relearn the fundamentals of how to take care of myself.
When I had been home for about eight months, four mothers who knew me from Jesse's synagogue nursery school came to visit. They sat with me in my living room and asked if they could help me relearn how to cook. "Relearn?" I exclaimed. "How about you teach me how to cook!" (Before the accident, we usually ordered food in or ate out.) My culinary teachers arrived every Sunday morning, after they dropped their kids off at religious school. Because I couldn't see well, they typed recipes in large bold type, put them into plastic sleeves, and stored them in a binder. Each time they came, they'd add new recipes, writing them in language that this brain-injured person could follow. For instance, a meatloaf recipe prescribed: "Mix the following ingredients together in a blender or food processor. You may have to mix them one ingredient at a time--eggs, potato, onion, then ketchup." My tutors started with simple recipes, like broiled salmon, and progressed to more complex recipes, like barbecued lamb ribs, layer cake with fluffy chocolate frosting, and corn bread. (My favorites were the easiest.) The practical support these women, and so many others, freely gave to our family--encompassing everything from running errands to arranging Jesse's play dates--brought me to the point where I could begin to think about being a productive person again.
In the winter of 2000, when I could walk, though I was still unsteady, Rabbi David Saperstein, the director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, phoned one day to say that he himself would drive me and my nurse to Baltimore for the annual Jewish Council for Public Affairs Plenum. On the way, he said, "I want you back at the Religious Action Center as soon as you're ready." I gasped. The possibility seemed inconceivable--and yet the thought of my contributing again to the Jewish community as well as the chance to think and learn and become productive again was irresistible--although it made me nervous.
It took a year before I was physically and cognitively able to tell David that I would return to the RAC, but only as a volunteer. I felt as if I should be paying them, because for me this opportunity was "work therapy."
I began "working" two hours each Monday and Thursday morning. My occupational therapist accompanied me on my first day to set up my workspace. She also explained to David and the senior staff what I could and could not do and that they should always give me feedback, positive and negative. My first responsibility was to call congregational rabbis and ask them about the state of their synagogue's social action activity and what RAC materials they had found most helpful. In order to prepare myself for making the phone calls, I had to write a script and practice it with my speech therapist. As time went on, I felt ready to return to a position I had held in the past, representing the Union on the Council of Governors of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. A RAC legislative assistant always accompanies me because I can't listen, join the discussion, and take notes at the same time. Also, I'm not comfortable walking or even hailing a cab by myself. My hours have since increased to about eight a week, and I now have a title; I am senior advisor to the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism.
In September 2001, I received my first opportunity to speak publicly; the Washington Jewish Community Council asked me to deliver a response in honor of my receiving an award for my work in social action. The former Lynne Landsberg used to jot down notes for a talk in the cab on the way over to the presentation. Post-accident, it took me months to write the "response" and weeks to practice. I was thrilled to learn later that David, sitting in the audience, had turned to a former RAC legislative assistant who was now a speechwriter and whispered to him, "Good job!"--and the speechwriter responded: "I had nothing to do with it. That's all Lynne."
The fact that the new Lynne Landsberg cannot speak publicly with the ease of the old is just one of a long list of deficiencies caused by my brain injury. As I've studied the Mi Shebeirach, I have come to understand that my healing falls into two categories: rifuat ha nefesh, a healing of the nefesh (commonly translated as "soul"), and rifuat ha goof,"healing of the body."
For me the healing of the body has come far more quickly than my doctors had forecast. I've moved from wheelchair and diapers to Ferragamo flats and Armani suits. But myrifuat ha nefesh has been much slower. I think of goof as the outer self and nefesh as the thinking, feeling inner self, and I wonder, what does it take to heal the all-encompassing soul?
I know that healing of the nefesh requires one to accept certain harsh realities. Continued healing is dependent on my emotional ability to mourn the old Lynne Landsberg and to embrace the slowly developing skills of the new Lynne Landsberg. No longer do I measure my successes by comparing them to my former achievements. It cannot be a matter of what I've lost, but what I've gained: an understanding of how much good is in each and every day and each and every person.
My family and I are continuing on the long, tedious, and unknowable road of recovery. And when I get anxious about the uncertainty of the future, I draw comfort from knowing that the Jewish community will continue to be there for me.
Rabbi Lynne Landsberg is volunteer senior advisor to the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism.

Rival rallies
Thousands of opponents and supporters of Egypt's Islamist president staged rival rallies in the nation's capital Tuesday, four days ahead a nationwide referendum on a contentious draft constitution.
The demonstrations got underway just hours after masked assailants set upon opposition protesters staging a sit-in at Tahrir Square, firing birdshot and swinging knives and sticks, according to security officials. At least 11 protesters were wounded in the pre-dawn attack, according to a Health Ministry spokesman quoted by the official MENA news agency.
The violence served as a stark reminder of the stakes in Egypt's political battle over the disputed draft constitution, which goes to a nationwide referendum on Saturday. The charter has deeply polarized the nation and triggered some of the worst street violence since Morsi took office in June as Egypt's first freely elected president.
On one side of the divide, there is President Mohammed Morsi, his Muslim Brotherhood and ultraorthodox Salafis, while on the other there is a collection of liberals, leftists and Christians who claim the draft charter restricts freedoms and gives Islamists vast influence over the running of the country.
In Cairo's Nasr City district, a Muslim Brotherhood stronghold, tens of thousands of the president's backers, some of them waving Egyptian flags, rallied Tuesday in front of a neighborhood mosque.
"I want the chant of `Morsi' to shake the earth," a man on a stage set up in front of the mosque shouted into a microphone. "Alleyway to alleyway, house to house, the constitution means stability."
The crowd was growing rapidly as dozens of buses, most of them bearing license plate numbers from provinces outside of Cairo, offloaded thousands of Morsi supporters at the venue. Many of them men had beards, a hallmark of Islamists, while the women wore the Muslim veil or the niqab, covering everything except the eyes.
The crowd denounced the liberal opposition and its leaders, calling them undemocratic and accusing them of being loyalists of Hosni Mubarak, the authoritarian leader who was ousted in a popular uprising last year.
"Those protesting at the presidential palace are feloul (remnants of the Mubarak regime) and counter-revolutionaries," said Mohammed Abdel-Aziz, a young Islamist protester. "They don't want Islam."
Another pro-Morsi protester, school teacher Mohammed el-Hamoul, said Islamists "accepted democracy so we could reach power."
"Now those who claim to be democracy advocates lost faith in democracy when the Islamists rose to power," he said.
Several hundred Islamists also have set up camp across town outside a media complex that is home to several independent TV networks critical of Morsi and the Brotherhood. The Islamists have threatened to storm the facility.
In the nearby Heliopolis neighborhood, tens of thousands of opposition supporters rallied outside the presidential palace, pushing their demands that Morsi scrap the referendum on the charter.
The draft, hurriedly adopted late last month in a marathon session by a constituent assembly dominated by the president's Islamist allies, inflamed an opposition already up in arms over a presidential decree that granted Morsi near absolute powers.
The opposition responded with hundreds of thousands of the president's protesters in the streets in massive rallies - the largest from primarily secular groups since the uprising that toppled Mubarak last year. Morsi's supporters replied with huge demonstrations of their own, which led to clashes in the streets that left at least six people dead and hundreds wounded.
From there, the violence rippled across the country, with at least two dozen attacks on offices of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, according to the group's leaders. Meanwhile, senior opposition figures, including former lawmakers, have been badly beaten by pro-Morsi Islamists.
With four days left before the referendum, the opposition has yet to decide whether to campaign for a "no" vote or call for a boycott - something many see as a reflection of divisions within the opposition. The disparate opposition groups are led by reformist and Nobel Peace prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, Egypt's former foreign minister and Arab League chief Amr Moussa, and leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi.
Cracks in the opposition's unity first appeared last weekend when one of its leading figures, veteran opposition politician Ayman Nour, accepted an invitation by Morsi to attend a "national dialogue" meeting. On Monday, another key opposition figure, El-Sayed Badawi of the Wafd party, met Morsi at the presidential palace.
Badawi later issued a statement saying he remained loyal to the opposition's goals: scraping the draft charter and postponing the vote.
The opposition has rejected any dialogue with Morsi until he shelves the draft constitution and postpones the referendum. They had also demanded that Morsi rescind decrees giving him near absolute powers. He withdrew those powers on Saturday, but insisted that the referendum will go ahead as scheduled.
Anticipating unrest on the day of the referendum, Morsi has ordered the military to join the police in maintaining security and protecting state institutions until after the results of the vote are announced. The decree went into effect on Monday.

The tax you pay on a gallon of gas will rise by 3.5 cents in California come July 1. The state Board of Equalization voted 3-2 on Thursday to increase the excise tax about 10 percent, from 36 cents per gallon to 39.5 cents per gallon.
The increase is partly due to a $157 million shortfall in gas-tax revenue in fiscal 2012, and also a projection of less consumption by California drivers.
The state legislature switched its gas taxation system in 2010 so it could re-appropriate some of the gas tax money from road maintenance to other areas. It reduced the sales tax from 8.25 percent to 2.25 percent, but roughly doubled the excise tax to 35.3 cents. The excise tax has increased multiple times since, but previous hikes were by fractions of cents.

Bleijie appoints former Justice to review Stafford case
A RETIRED Supreme Court Justice will independently review whether the Attorney-General should order Graham Stafford be retried for murdering Goodna schoolgirl Leanne Holland.
Stafford was found guilty of murdering 13-year-old Leanne and dumping her body in bushland at Redbank Plains in 1991.
But the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction in 2009.
Queensland Police closed the murder investigation this week and revealed they had recommended Stafford be re-tried for murder but the Director of Public Prosecutions decided it was not in the public interest.
The director's reasons for refusing a new trial included the fact Stafford had served 15 years in jail and the 20-year time passage since the offence had adversely affected some of the evidence.
While Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said he respected the director's decision, he announced on Thursday he had appointed former Justice Kenneth Mackenzie QC to review the case against Stafford.
"As I have the power to order the re-trial of Graham Stafford independent of the DPP, I have decided to seek independent advice on the strength of the evidence," Mr Bleijie said.
"Presenting an ex-officio indictment is an important power that has been preserved by legislation and whether I exercise this power requires careful consideration.
"Mr Mackenzie will consider whether there are reasonable prospects of obtaining a conviction should the matter proceed to retrial and if a retrial is in the public interest."
Mr Bleijie said he expected he would receive Mr Mackenzie's advice early in the New Year.
Queensland Police were directed to review every avenue of the murder case in 2010.
Police Commissioner Ian StewartÖ told reporters earlier this week the investigation - which included NSW detectives and Crime and Misconduct Commission officers - identified new forensic evidence which was consistent with the original police case against Stafford.
He said the investigation was "extensive and far-reaching" and even addressed issues raised in private investigator Graham Crowley's book Who Killed Leanne?.
Mr Crowley was a tireless campaigner for Stafford's innocence.
