Q: Run a regular expression into a new file (or another existing file) I would like to take some stuff from file A and reformat it to stick into file B using regular expressions.  I am kind of new to vim so this may be a dumb question but I could not find the solution to this anywhere.  I guess I am searching for the wrong phrases.  Anyway, here are the details of what I want to do.  I have a static html page that I would like to have an RSS feed for.  Luckily, this page is mostly links to various news items, so creating the RSS will be pretty easy.
I have the regular expression ready:
:%s/^\(.\{-}\)<\/a>/<title>\3<\/title>\r<link>\1<\/link>\r<description>\2<\/description>

My problem is I do not want to make the changes in the html file that I am searching.  I want the changes to occur in another file, new or existing.  How do I make this happen?  Or is this method completely off.
Oh and by the way, this expression takes something like this in the html file:
Title of Link

and turns it into this in the xml file:
<title>Title of Link</title>
<link>http://linktosomesite.com</link>
<description>Description of link</description>

Bonus: It would be really nice if I can place this within another file, say starting at line 5.
PS: I know this is a vim and regex question but posting it in html and rss because I noticed people have static html to rss questions there.

A: Why not just copy your file and then use sed/replace on the copied file?

A: Just run your substitution and save as another file:
$ vim file.html
:%s/^\(.\{-}\)<\/a>/<title>\3<\/title>\r<link>\1<\/link>\r<description>\2<\/description>
:w file.rss
:q

That's how I would in any editor, by the way.

A: It sounds like you want to write a transform.  There are many transform tools. You certainly could do it with sed & awk for example. But I think the easiest way would be xslt. (you could use xsltproc or saxon...)
Here's an example template:
<xsl:template match="a">
    <title><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></title>
    <link><xsl:value-of select="@href"/></link>
    <description><xsl:value-of select="@title"/></description>
</xsl:template>

It finds each a element, and outputs the results, with the text() node and attributes filled in.

Q: CDK Fargate: Map subdomain to different container port Look at the following CDK stack definition:
export class AwsStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const myHostedZone = new route53.HostedZone(this, "HostedZone", {
      zoneName: domain,
    });

    const certificate = new acm.Certificate(this, "Certificate", {
      domainName: `*.${domain}`,
      validation: acm.CertificateValidation.fromDns(myHostedZone),
    });

    const image = new ecr.DockerImageAsset(this, "Image", { directory: "." });

    const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, "ApplicationVpc", { maxAzs: 2 });

    const cluster = new ecs.Cluster(this, "Cluster", {
      clusterName: "Cluster",
      vpc,
    });

    const taskDefinition = new ecs.FargateTaskDefinition(this, "TaskDef");
    taskDefinition.addContainer("DefaultContainer", {
      image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromDockerImageAsset(image),
      portMappings: [
        { containerPort: 3000, hostPort: 3000 },
        { containerPort: 3001, hostPort: 3001 },
      ],
    });

    const service = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService(this, "Service", {
      cluster,
      publicLoadBalancer: true,
      taskDefinition,
      certificate,
    });

    service.loadBalancer.addRedirect()

    service.listener.addTargets("api", {
      priority: 10,
      conditions: [elb.ListenerCondition.hostHeaders([`api.${domain}`])],
      // what to do???
    });
  }
}

I want to map incoming traffic with api.domain to port 3001 and everything else should map to port 3000.
How can I achieve this?

A: I was able to solve it with the following
export class AwsStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const zone = new route53.HostedZone(this, "HostedZone", {
      zoneName: domain,
    });

    //const certificate = acm.Certificate.fromCertificateArn(this, "Certificate", certificateArn);

    const certificate = new acm.Certificate(this, "Certificate", {
      domainName: domain,
      subjectAlternativeNames: [`*.${domain}`],
      validation: acm.CertificateValidation.fromDns(zone),
    });

    const image = new ecr.DockerImageAsset(this, "Image", { directory: "." });

    const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, "ApplicationVpc", { maxAzs: 2 });

    const cluster = new ecs.Cluster(this, "Cluster", {
      clusterName: "Cluster",
      vpc,
    });

    const taskDefinition = new ecs.FargateTaskDefinition(this, "TaskDef");
    taskDefinition.addContainer("DefaultContainer", {
      image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromDockerImageAsset(image),
      portMappings: [
        { containerPort: 3000, hostPort: 3000 },
        { containerPort: 3001, hostPort: 3001 },
      ],
      logging: new ecs.AwsLogDriver({
        streamPrefix: domain,
      }),
    });

    const service = new ecs.FargateService(this, "Service", {
      cluster,
      taskDefinition,
      assignPublicIp: true,
    });

    const lb = new elb.ApplicationLoadBalancer(this, "LoadBalancer", {
      vpc,
      internetFacing: true,
    });

    const listener = lb.addListener("Listener", {
      port: 443,
      certificates: [certificate],
    });

    listener.addTargets("API", {
      priority: 10,
      conditions: [elb.ListenerCondition.hostHeaders([`api.${domain}`])],
      port: 80,
      targets: [service.loadBalancerTarget({ containerName: "DefaultContainer", containerPort: 3001 })],
      healthCheck: {
        healthyHttpCodes: "200-399",
      },
    });

    listener.addTargets("UI", {
      port: 80,
      targets: [service.loadBalancerTarget({ containerName: "DefaultContainer", containerPort: 3000 })],
      healthCheck: {
        healthyHttpCodes: "200-399",
      },
    });

    new route53.ARecord(this, "AliasRecord", {
      zone,
      target: route53.RecordTarget.fromAlias(new alias.LoadBalancerTarget(lb)),
    });

    new route53.ARecord(this, "AliasRecordAPI", {
      recordName: `api.${domain}`,
      zone,
      target: route53.RecordTarget.fromAlias(new alias.LoadBalancerTarget(lb)),
    });
  }
}

I am still wondering why listener.addTargets requires port 80.

Ever since moving to Memphis five years ago an odd family tradition involving the Waffle House in Jasper, Georgia has developed. (Hence the picture.) For fifteen years we had hosted an increasingly large Christmas Eve party after church at Oakhurst Baptist. Many folks there have, let us say, complicated families, and we opened our house to those who needed a family place to land on the Eve, eat, drink and be merry. Now we try to catch the service on the way from Rock Hill to our cabin in north Georgia, but instead of having hundreds at own home, we throw our lot in with whoever happens to be in the Waffle House.
The "A-Team" is usually not covering Christmas Eve, so unusual–and always interesting– things happen. Once we were waited on by–I swear to God–Mary. The teen-age waitress was pregnant, unmarried and obviously ready to have the Prince of Peace right there in the corner booth at any moment. Last year, we ordered (eggs, eggs, eggs and, for me, a waffle). After a bit, the eggs and hash browns showed up. Waffle?
The coffee was refilled twice as each time I commented how good a waffle would be.
You would not think one would need memory tricks to remember waffles in this restaurant, but some do.
And you wouldn't think you'd need to remember what Jesus was about, either, but most of find it heard to keep track. And not just amid the ridiculous clutter of brain dead buying and selling that marks the month.
I write in the aftermath of the Waffle House, but also anointed by 10 inches of astonishing snow that has frozen us in place and riveted my attention.
"Waffle, waffle, waffle," she muttered.
"Life, life, life," I try to remember.

Jake Arrieta can't hold lead in 7th as Cubs' losing streak goes to 4
| PITTSBURGH
The strange odyssey of Jake Arrieta took another twist Friday night as the Cubs' All-Star ace concluded his first half in a disappointing manner.
After getting tagged for three runs on two home runs in the second inning, Arrieta shut down the Pirates offense as his teammates rallied to give him the lead.
But Arrieta's usual dominance against the Pirates wilted quickly in a maddening manner that led to an 8-4 loss before a festive crowd of 35,904 at PNC Park.
"Giving up six (runs), especially with the lead in the seventh, is my takeaway," Arrieta said. "Not putting the nail in the coffin when I had the opportunity to do so, maybe I even pitch the eighth. I just let that one get away."
Arrieta completed the first half of the season with a 12-4 record and 2.68 ERA. But his failure to protect a 4-3 lead in the seventh raises more questions about the sturdiness of a Cubs rotation that has sputtered lately.
"We've been in kind of a lull the past two weeks," Arrieta said.
This game marked only Arrieta's second career loss in 13 outings against the Pirates, but it couldn't have come at a worse time for the Cubs (52-34), who now have lost four consecutive games as their lead in the National League Central has slipped to 71/2 games.
Arrieta has allowed 15 earned runs on 21 hits in 161/3 innings in his last three starts.
"I don't have a solid answer for you," manager Joe Maddon replied when asked how Arrieta could return to his old form.
After walking a season-high five in his previous start Saturday against the Mets, Arrieta didn't walk a batter through the first six innings and had retired 10 of 12 batters as his teammates tied it on Miguel Montero's two-run homer in the sixth and took the lead on Anthony Rizzo's tiebreaking shot in the seventh.
But Arrieta walked unheralded pinch hitter Adam Frazier to start the seventh. Josh Bell, one of the Pirates' top prospects, smacked a pinch single on a curve to right-center field.
John Jaso then poked a single to tie the game, prompting Maddon to pull Arrieta.
That was just the start of one of the Cubs' worst half-innings of the season. First baseman Rizzo was charged with a throwing error on a toss that grazed the glove of reliever Travis Wood at first, and second baseman Ben Zobrist paused before throwing to second, costing the Cubs a shot at turning a double play.
Latest Cubs

4 takeaways from the Cubs-Reds series, including dominant starting pitching and no worries about Anthony Rizzo's power outage
Cubs prospect Adbert Alzolay leaves his Triple-A start with arm discomfort
Arrieta, who had a 3-0 record and 0.86 ERA against the Pirates in three starts this season, allowed a home run to David Freese and a two-run shot to Sean Rodriguez in the second.
While the Cubs relied heavily on their power, leadoff batter Dexter Fowler played his first game for Class A South Bend on a minor-league rehabilitation assignment. Fowler, whose on-base percentage is .398, hasn't played since June 18 because of a strained right hamstring. He went 0-for-2 with two walks and a strikeout Friday.
It's anticipated he will be activated in time to play in the All-Star Game.

A diverse offering twixt the interesting, the unusual, and the amusing.
Thinking Laterally.
My son, Kimbo, is not known for 'cake making', but armed with his Mary Berry cake-making bible, he threw himself into the mixing bowl and created this masterpiece, below, for his son's birthday.
Unfortunately he only had enough materials for one layer, so it needed to be cut in half in order to make the traditional cream and jam filled two-layer cake he had set his heart upon.
Initially I'd thought that they'd already eaten half of it; but no, that's the finished job.
Apparently this did not affect it's wonderful flavour, and it was given 10/10. Well done!

Adrian Ward 24 November 2021 at 06:33
Brilliant but surely it ought to be marked 5/5.
Cro Magnon 24 November 2021 at 06:57
It was only half as good as a whole cake would have been, so maybe 5/5 is right.
Deejohn 24 November 2021 at 08:19
An excellent job. It looks like a Victoria Sponge cake. I wonder if Sainsburys might take up the idea of half a cake.
I often wonder if Mary Berry was brought in to replace the Queen of tv Chefs, Delia Smith. I miss her terribly. She refused to dumb down and so walked away. It's probably the reason we are still a Nation of 'Ready Meals' shoppers.
I recently saw Delia being interviewed on TV about her Football club. She looked miserable; maybe she should return to cookery where she always seemed in her element and happy.
Rachel Phillips 24 November 2021 at 09:17
Delia loves her football club and is very much in her element, win or lose. She is not unhappy.
She looked pretty grim on TV the other day; I don't know if they'd won or lost. Maybe she'd just burned a cake!
They have obviously had problems, managed sacked, foot of table, but Delia is football through and through. Of course she is not going to be laughing all over her face at such times. She is a tough lady.
gz 24 November 2021 at 09:09
Well done Kimbo..good baking and good thinking!
It looks very good; light and airy. I didn't get to taste it, but I believe it was 'perfect'.
JayCee 24 November 2021 at 09:20
What a good idea, and a great dad for thinking of it.
Good logical thinking.
Jacqueline @ HOME 24 November 2021 at 09:42
Good job Kimbo ….. who says it has to be conventional …. As long as it tastes good ?!!!! I like cooking by I'm no baker …. Probably because I love savoury things and am not much of a lover of cake ….. I could never be on The Great British Bake Off !!!! XXXX
I'm the same; if it contains salt, I cook it. If it contains sugar I leave it to Lady Magnon.
Marcia LaRue 24 November 2021 at 16:27
Even ALL of the sweet baked goods require a pinch of salt, Cro. It enhances the flavor!!
Andrew 24 November 2021 at 10:05
The cake has inexperienced straight man baker stamped all over it, but I can tell it would be very yummy. I'm sure the lad loved his birthday cake.
Your description of him is perfect, but he did a good job.
local alien 24 November 2021 at 10:11
Have to laugh at that cake. But as most note, he used his brains and made a delcious cake. Its the eating part that counts
Half a cake is better than no cake at all.
Yorkshire Pudding 24 November 2021 at 11:30
A thing of rare beauty! Hopefully, it will inspire you to have a go at baking your own cake. Lady Magnon will be most impressed. Don't forget to wash your hands and wear your floral pinafore. Happy baking!
I did once make an Olive and Bacon Cake which was wonderful. Not your average cake, but very good for folk like me who don't eat sugar.
Debby 24 November 2021 at 11:48
He used a lot of the most important ingredient: Love
Yes, he's actually a very good cook.
mortiquarian.com tells you about the grave of yesterday. Not that there was much to tell. The Brighton mortiquarian. But you might find the website of interest.
Thanks for that, Sherlock. You've now added 'super sleuth' to your long list of talents.
Right, thanks to you I've found them. It's the tomb of Laurentia Dorothea Robertson, and her husband Francis, and it describes the naked figure as 'A bound Man'. Thank you.
Thank you. I thought the Weiss grave was interesting where he had a sword that would automatically drop down of him to ensure he was dead in the coffin. He was a surgical instrument maker by trade.
Sounds more worthy of Edgar Allen Poe!
Ursula 24 November 2021 at 13:52
And to think that once upon a time I stayed up all night to mould some obnoxious pieces of sponge cake, sticky something filling, not to mention icing and other decorations into a TRAIN. One locomotive, three carriages.
What thickens one's hide as a cook (indeed, baker) that what takes forever to concoct will be DEMOLISHED in no relation to the time it took you to concoct.
Hats off to Kimbo. Lateral thinking, as I was fed with my father's milk, is where it's at. Other than that the cake reminds me of one of my favourite pieces of furniture. A round table, only half of it.
Happy Birthday to the six year old,
I think he was 13, but only six candles in the house!!!
It's.a.crazy.world 24 November 2021 at 14:04
The cake looks delicious...I have one of those cookbooks as well, but I haven't pulled it out in awhile. Now I'm hungry, haha
My wife uses Mary Berry's 'cake bible' all the time; she would never consult anything else.
John 24 November 2021 at 15:52
One has to admire his initiative, a finished cake looking half eaten...does look tasty.
It's certainly inventive. It could be a 'FIRST'.
A 'Bake off' winner perchance?
As any cook and/or baker knows ... one must be ready to improvise when and where necessary! Your boy did a great job of that!
He's also very amusing; that helps.
The Weaver of Grass 24 November 2021 at 17:32
Well it looks good anyway but the proof of the pudding and all that.
I believe that side of things was OK too.
Jennifer 24 November 2021 at 23:04
What a clever man your son is, with his half cake! I love it. Happy birthday to the newly minted teenager!
Half cakes could become a trend; student specials.
Pipistrello 25 November 2021 at 00:06
Good idea, Kimbo! I like to see what's inside the cake before committing :)
The filling was there for all to see. Another good selling point.
Susan 25 November 2021 at 01:24
Happy B-day to your grandson. 13 calls for a major celebration. The cake looks delicious. Cutting the cake vertically in half and stacking it is a brilliant idea. I once tried to slice a single layer horizontally in two and it cracked and crumbled. Hence, I buy cakes instead.
I'm not a cake maker myself, but I think horizontal cutting is standard practice, but one would have to be very cautious.
River 25 November 2021 at 10:08
I love cake and that one looks just right :)

This photograph was taken on the morning of a beautiful bride's wedding just before she put on her wedding gown. In just a short while there would be "The Reveal" when her groom would see her for the first time in her dress. Afterwards we would take amazing wedding pictures at The deSeversky Mansion and Conference Center where the awesome celebration would take place. I love shooting at deSeversky...one of the most elegant of Long Island catering venues. Documenting all of the details that make up the theme or feeling surrounding your wedding is one of the most rewarding aspects of my craft. Every picture should tell a story and this one spoke volumes to the bride and her family. It seems that every photographer these days is taking a picture of the bride's wedding gown before she gets dressed. I've seen gowns simply hanging from curtain rods, draped over the back of a door, or even brought outside and suspended from a balcony or the limbs of a tree. Most of these shots are the product of the photographer's creative mind but do little to tell the story of the day. So what makes this shot so special? The room. You see the bride's father was a building contractor and he had just built an addition on the house that the bride grew up in. This masterpiece of a bedroom was where the bride was getting dressed on her special day. It seems her father finished work on the room the night before the wedding. Talk about pressure! What a wonderful gift for his daughter. To this day I remember the look on her father's face when he saw his little girl in her wedding gown for the first time. It wasn't the location that made this photograph so special. It was the story behind the location, and all of the loving emotions that were captured therein. Get in touch with me to discuss letting me tell the story of your wedding day.

"Notice how spare his [Hemingway's] writing is, adjective-free."
Notice how spare his [Hemingway's] writing is, adjective-free. Feeling (for me, horror) comes through indirectly by his descriptions. He just describes, leaving the reader free to form his own judgments and feelings. We're more shocked by the treatment of the refugees because the narrator is so blasé.
Also, Hemingway takes the image of light, which is usually associated with enlightenment as in "Ah ha, I see the light," and turns it to a dark meaning. The light becomes a weapon against the defenseless.
Studying the construction of the book can help you tie together your own short stories into a collection and/or your poems for a chapbook. It's composed of two separate texts that form one. The vignette chapters, done in Italics, are all, except for Chapter 6, public events, for example, something that occurred along the road that isn't part of a story, but part of a troop movement. Chapter 5, another example, shows the execution of six cabinet ministers, again told in that objective way that prevents sentimentality.
". . . the effect of organizing the book the way he [Hemingway]did was to "to give the picture of the whole while examining it in detail."
At this point, Nick is still a newcomer to suffering and death. By the time you read the beginning of Big Two-Hearted River, Nick has already been to war and the burnt out forest triggers the trauma of the burnt-out towns he saw and the burnt grasshoppers become veterans of the war. Even the trout, not fighting against getting caught, seem like victims to Nick.
"The chapters are not only linked by theme, but by symbols as well. "
The chapters are not only linked by theme, but by symbols as well. For example, the death of a relationship between Nick and Marge is followed by the brief chapter on the execution of the cabinet ministers. My Old Man ends with a character being shot and in the next story begins with a character being killed in a bull fight.
If you have a sheaf of poems or a group of short stories, be sure to take a look at In Our Time for unique ways to connect them. Papa Hemingway will always have something to offer us.

The WASA detector, operating at the COSY facility in Jülich (Germany) has been collecting data since 2007. The experiment allows to perform studies of light mesons, such as π0, η and ω rare decay processes, in order to perform precise measurements of branching ratios, determine Dalitz plot parameters, test symmetry and symmetry breaking, and evaluate transition form factors. In the experiments a proton or deuteron beam impinged on a pellet target of hydrogen or deuterium, which allows the reactions proton-proton (pp) or proton-deuteron (pd). A high-statistics sample of η mesons has been collected: in the reaction pd →3He η, 3×107η mesons were tagged at a beam energy of 1.0 GeV, while 5×108η mesons were produced in the reaction pp → ppη at 1.4 GeV. This corresponds to the production of 10 η/s and 100 η/s, respectively, for the two reaction processes. In the pp dataset a higher background level is found compared to the pd data set. In both cases, we identify the η mesons by means of the missing mass derived from the recoil particles. A kinematic fit largely rejects the background in our analysis. The advantage in using the pp dataset is that the production of η mesons is almost a factor of 10 higher than in the pd fusion to 3He. As we plan to measure the branching ratios of very rare processes, high statistics is needed. A summary of the recent activity on the study of light mesons with WASA-at-COSY here is given.


All of Britain's banks will face devastation in the event of a Brexit, apart from Standard Chartered, says research firm Bernstein.
Earlier on Wednesday, analysts from Bernstein released an in-depth note looking at the effects that a potential Brexit could have on the UK's banking system.
That bank is Standard Chartered, the FTSE 100 listed firm focused on emerging markets. The reason for Bernstein's faith in the bank is its lack of exposure to the UK market, despite being based in Britain.
It added that while Standard Chartered will come off virtually unscathed, the biggest worries for Britain's banking sector in the event of Brexit will be Barclays and Lloyds.
"It's also clear from our analysis that BARC has the highest beta to Brexit — it's the lowest capitalised bank in the UK with the highest gearing to both Unsecured, Investment Banking and London per se, which is likely to see the brunt of the pain," say Bernstein's analysts.
While Brexit does not look like it is hurting Standard Chartered in the short-term, the bank is facing other problems, with CEO Bill Winters angrily speaking of the "cancer" of "employees lending money to other employees at very high-interest rates," within the bank earlier this week.

Deluxe tent
Suite Tent
Under Canvas Grand Canyon Stargazer Tent
Boasting an airy, minimal design with white canvas, wood floors, and simple wooden furniture, the intimate number of tents at Under Canvas Grand Canyon encourage you to immerse yourself in your natural surroundings while enjoying a novel glamping experience. Other than the standard safari tents, which share communal bathrooms, all options come with an en suite. Stargazer tents have a window above the bed so you can watch the night sky as you drift to sleep, while Suites offer more living space with the addition of a lounge area complete with sofa bed. There are also a number of tents which have a small separate tent attached for children. All furnishings are of excellent quality, and organic bath products are included too. There's no Wi-Fi or TV, allowing you to truly disconnect.
The campsite is located a 30-minute drive from the South Rim entrance of Grand Canyon National Park, and is surrounded by pine and juniper forests. There are very limited dining options in the evening, so we recommend either dining at the site or eating at the South Rim before returning for the evening.
Food and drink is available for purchase at the on-site café and is open for breakfast and dinner.
You can order a picnic lunch the night before so it's freshly prepared for you in the morning.
A fire pit adds atmosphere in the evening as you toast s'mores and trade tales.
Several tents are well-suited to families, including spacious Suites with sofa beds, tents with three single beds, and those that interconnect with smaller kids' tents.
Facilities and activities
We can arrange for you to do a range of activities during your stay here in the surrounding area. The camp also has its own Guest Experience Co-ordinator if you decide to do something at short notice. They can arrange daily activities including yoga, hiking, and nature walks.
Each evening, local musicians play at the main tent under the stars.

Nov. 15, 2017 (AMP) — FA Cup 2017-18 : Peterborough United defeated Tranmere Rovers by a big score of 5-0 (halftime: 2-0), in the FA Cup first round on Wednesday night. Peterborough United advance to the third round of the FA Cup. Tranmere is eliminated.


Despite the economic importance of many fungi, the molecular basis regarding the pathogenic differentiation, in planta growth and development has not been investigated in large detail. The remaining paucity regarding the molecular-genetic basis of pathogenicity-related determinants makes particularly the use of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, proteomics and metabolomics required to gain insight into different stages of the infection cycle, in order to determine novel directions and strategies for the disease control. Taking advantage of the techniques and tools, one of the main goals of our research is focused on the investigation of molecular mechanisms governing the fungal pathogenesis with emphasis on characterization of critical molecular and cellular processes related to virulence by employing bioinformatic approaches complemented by wet lab analysis. Much of our work is focused on investigation of dynamic biological processes by employing transcriptome analysis using RNA-Seq to get insight into the regulatory processes governing plant-pathogen interaction during the infection process. In addition by employing of structural genomic analysis we attempt to complement and integrate the data obtained from biochemical, histological and "omics" technologies. Furthermore we are interested in development of new strategies for data analysis and data mining aiming to facilitate and improve the biological knowledge discovery.
Another research area of our lab is focused on understanding of fungal secondary metabolism and identifying of novel metabolites. Fungi represent a vast source of various natural products which have diverse activities, ranging from antibiotics to lethal poisons. Many of them are synthesized using non-ribosomal peptide synthetase or polyketide synthase pathways. Generally, the natural products are among the most important sources of lead molecules for drug discovery.
With the development of NGS technologies and other "omics tools", the field of natural products research is currently undergoing a shift in paradigms. While, for decades, mainly analytical and chemical methods gave access to this group of compounds, nowadays genomics-based methods offer complementary approaches to identify and characterize such molecules. Nowadays, "omics" approaches offer complementary access to natural products; by identifying natural product/secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, it is possible to assess the genetic potential of producer strains and to more effectively identify previously unknown metabolites.
Many fungi contain over 40 of these clusters, with each having the capacity to make multiple novel compounds. However the biological role of these compounds, or indeed their identity, for the most part remain unknown. By exploiting different bioinformatics approaches we are focused on elucidation of biosynthetic gene clusters to identify the novel metabolites and discover their roles in causing disease.

Kevan Choset's New York Times crossword
5/3/11 NYT crossword solution 0503
I confess I didn't see the theme-revealer clue while solving this puzzle and had no idea what the theme was. None! Ah, okay, I see now—71a: MAN can be affixed to the first part of each theme entry to make a superhero. Like so:
18a. SUPER BOWL XX gets you Superman. I know someone who's not at all a comic book fan, and she's terribly upset that Superman just relinquished his U.S. citizenship. Me, I'm more bothered that those dang Roman numerals are in there, as if I pay the slightest attention to which numbered Bowl is in which year.
24a. AQUAMARINE, a pretty stone, and Aquaman, a superhero of no import to me.
38a. Oddly struggled to get to BAT AROUND. Batman! Some of The Dark Knight was filmed in my neighborhood, so I'm partial to Batman, but only until the next episode is released. They're not filming it here! Losers.
53a. Ya know, [Long-legged sea animal seen along the Atlantic Coast] didn't scream SPIDER CRAB to me. Poor Spider-Man, now the butt of jokes over the Broadway travesty.
61a. The IRON CURTAIN gives you Iron Man. If that's supposed to be one word or hyphenated, you know what? I don't feel like spell-checking all these superheroes. Iron and Aqua are definitely in the second tier after the Super, Bat, and Spider-hyphen men.
Five highlights:
27a. [Vermont but not New Hampshire, e.g.?] clues IAMB. Boy, that IAMB-meets-BVD section slowed me down. Poetry and underwear? That reminds me of the dancing go-go boy in red underpants (50d: HEINIE!) whom I saw yesterday in a bar window. 6:15 on Sunday night! When I told my husband, he totally topped my story. He'd been passed by a bicyclist in drag, wearing a short miniskirt in the, uh, Scottish style. I think sumer is icumen in.
2d. Love the word BRUSQUE. It looks like it should mean something grander than [Short] or curt.
25d. MANANA, the [Procrastinator's mantra]. "Later" and "tomorrow," those work in any language. Maybe tomorrow I'll do that editing assignment?
48d. Great clue for ROBESON: [Actor/singer/athlete/activist Paul]. Kind of a Renaissance man, which was not easy work for a black man in 20th-century America.
47d. The Canadians voted today. Possibly the election results will make it into the American media, but they do have other preoccupations at the moment. Canada has a national anthem known to NHL, MLB, and NBA fans, "O CANADA." The title doubles as [Song words followed by "Terre de nos aieux"], the last word of which should absolutely be made legitimate in English-language Scrabble.
Jeff Chen's Los Angeles Times crossword—Neville's review
5/3/11 LA Times crossword solution
Look at this grid – now back to me – now back at the grid – now back to me. Doesn't it look like something strange? Long vertical answers, 44(!) black squares, and circles all over the place? Something's definitely up here. Look down – back up. Three of the circles in the puzzle I downloaded weren't in the right spot – I've moved them in the picture to reflect their proper positions in 60-Down, not 59-Down. So, let's see what madness Jeff Chen's cooked up today:
34d. [Little one hopping across today's puzzle] – ROO. I don't know if this is a generic roo or A.A. Milne's Roo, but either way, I cheated and put ROO in all of the circles immediately.
51d. [Sing like Bing] Crosby – CROON.
30d. [2007 Iraq War strategy] – TROOP SURGE. {Insert topical remark about Osama bin Laden here}
6d. [In whatever way possible] – BY HOOK OR BY CROOK. The etymology of this phrase is highly debated, so you can draw your own conclusion.
9d. [Stereotypical deal-making site] – SMOKE-FILLED ROOM. I wanted this to be Craigslist.
10d. [Was angry to the max] – HIT THE ROOF. Why is this past tense? Just to trick me into thinking there's an -ED in there?
60d. [Cheer] – ROOT. Meh.
Well, there you go – seven ROO-filled entries. I like that there's a definitive pattern in the grid and it's carried out consistently. I don't mind ROO in the middle, but the other short-entries aren't as satisfying. Four great long theme entries + a visual is a winner in my book, though.
Some bullets, then it's off to bed:
14a. [Hooters' hangout] – OWLERY. This was by far the most disappointing entry for me, but the path it led me down still made me chuckle. Great way to make a fine word better via an evocative clue.
25a. [Donkey's bray] – HEE-HAW. Rhymes with see-saw and mee-maw. There's your next theme, Jeff!
51a. [Washington based warehouse club] – COSTCO, aka the one that fit.
67a. ["Check that out!"] – OH, LOOK! An OWLERY!
I'm tired of these Cockney clues: 24d. [Aloe…] VERA! Who's Vera, and why are we saying 'aloe to her?
ODIUM is a cool word from the Latin for [Hatred].
You say "En garde!" at the start of repartee, and "TOUCHE" to signal [Acknowledgement of a witty rejoinder].
YO HO HO! Pirates!
Arr, I'll be seein' ya Thursday, mateys!
Bob Klahn's CrosSynergy/Washington Post Crossword, "Net Gains" – Sam Donaldson's review
Klahn adds N-E-T to the end of one word in four two-word phrases to get wacky new phrases that are clued accordingly:
17-Across: To [Pitch a popular red?] is to TOSS THE CABERNET, from the Highland Games tradition of "caber tossing," in which participants compete to see who can heave a 20-foot, 175-pound wooden pole the farthest (furthest? ferthest?). I'll let the picture below say it all.
27-Across: Sergeant [Friday in the funnies?] would be a DRAGNET STRIP (from "drag strip"). Sergeant Joe Friday was the character played by Jack Webb on the "Dragnet" TV series. For those not old enough to remember, here's an excerpt (sort of).
48-Across: [Amusing the Muses?] is NONET KIDDING (from "no kidding"). The Muses were an acrobatic act from the early 1930s famous for working with no net. They only messed up once, in their final performance.
63-Across: The [14-liner from a pain in the neck?] is SONNET OF DRACULA (from "Son of Dracula"). That's gold, Jerry. Gold! Our crack Crossword Fiend research staff has uncovered a real sonnet about Dracula, entitled, appropriately, "My Dracula Sonnet." As for whether it's any good, you make the call. If you're not up for clicking the link, here's an excerpt: "With your fangs as sharp as thorns, you strike out, / Your cloak billowing like a bat's black wings, / Fear grips my heart and I let loose a shout, / I scream in shock, 'What are these painful things?!'" (Um, they're called sonnets.)
If that pole is on the way down, this will not end well.
The other theme entries are solid, but the first one strikes me as the weak link here. It's the only one that has the N-E-T at the end of the last word instead of the end of the first word. And "toss the caber" doesn't feel like a very familiar phrase.
There's some superb cluing in this crossword. It's like this Klahn fellow knows what he's doing when it comes to clues:
I like how [Beat around the bush] almost has a double meaning for the answer, HEDGE.
I fell for the [Jam or pickle] trap. Yes, I was thinking food, when I should have been thinking of problematic situations, like a jam, a pickle, or a SCRAPE.
[It's dull, it's said] is a clue that's almost as good as the answer, DISHWATER.
The clue [Score about 75] is fine, but the answer is terrific: GET A C.
For some reason, I wanted TV SHOW for ["Yesterday," "Today," or "Tomorrow"], but the answer was SONG. I know "Yesterday" from The Beatles, and "Tomorrow" from the musical, "Annie." But "Today?" Wikipedia says that there's a song by that name from Gary Allan, Jefferson Airplane, Melanie B, Poe, and The Smashing Pumpkins. I'm guessing no two of them are the same.
My slow time is entirely a function of my ignorance, best demonstrated by [Four-time Hugo winner Frederik] POHL, EPPES as the ["Numb3rs" family name], ["The Fugitive" portrayer David] JANSSEN, and ["Journey Into Fear" author Eric] AMBLER. I'm used to slower times on Klahn puzzles, but this one felt like it went more slowly than it should have. Anyone else have a "slower than usual for a Klahn" solving time today?
Amy adds: Not me, Sam. About 4:05, which is not bad for a Klahn. That EPPES name is frightfully unfamiliar, though.
Matt Jones's Jonesin' crossword, "Have a Nice Solve"
Jonesin' 5/3/11 crossword answers "Have a Nice Solve"
Every so often, Matt kicks it freestyle with a themeless Jonesin' puzzle. He skews goofball this time, making a smiley-face grid and keeping the clues at a smiley-face level. A themeless that's easier than Matt's standard mid-range difficulty for themed puzzles? Oy! I like a meaty challenge in a themeless, not a Tuesday/Wednesdayish stroll. I did enjoy the sparkling fill that rings the entire grid, though.
Craziest answers:
12a. SEA GOOSEBERRY?? [It sounds like a fruit, but it's really a jellyfish]?? Say what? Here are some photos.
2d. ROG is clued as [Krivoy ___ (Ukrainian city)]. How would you spell the shortened nickname for a guy named Roger? Is that "Rog"?
41d. [Multiplayer card game with elements of solitaire] is NERTZ. Never heard of it.
53a. STREET-LEGAL means [Allowed on public roads, unlike most ATVs].
54a. [It uses a rake and sand] clues a ZEN GARDEN. Well, technically, the garden just sits there, and it is the gardener who uses the rake and sand to craft a soothing setting.
6d. [Teen movie franchise whose box set is titled "The Full Reveal"] is AMERICAN PIE.
11d. CRACKER BARREL is a [Restaurant chain of "Old Country Stores"]. I don't go there.
12d. [Patricia Arquette, to Courteney Cox] was her SISTER-IN-LAW. Does the title stick after a divorce?
13d. [He don't like rackin' frackin' varmints] clues YOSEMITE SAM. Now I'm thinking of keeping the vocal rhythm of "Yosemite" but finding an "Antisemite Sam." (Not Donaldson!)

SUPER BOWL XX is perhaps best known as the last (and only) time the bears won the super bowl, 46-3 over the patriots. i think the patriots finished the first half with something like -7 yards of total offense.
didn't somebody (dan naddor?) do this puzzle in the LAT about two years ago? yes, it seems so. dan and mike naddor (who's that?), seven theme answers. whoa. no wonder it won an oryx. (oryx! now that's nostalgia.)
ArtLvr says:
Amy, thanks for posting the pointer to converting CS puzzles, but it turns out that I don't have the right Java to allow it to work… Where can I go to download that? Arrg.
Kevan's NYT today was okay and quick except for the tricky IAMB clue crossed with Hanes clue for BVD, but I finally figured those out. The latter used to be just MAN stuff, but now I guess they can be women's apparel too. Or is Hanes making men's briefs?
Plot says:
Good puzzle, but then, I'm always partial to comicbook/superhero themes. Bonus points for separating the Marvel characters from the DC characters.
The LAT file that I downloaded also had circles in the wrong place. Elon is a gimme at this point, so it didn't cost me any time. Still, I found myself trying to figure out how ELO tied into a theme about hopping kangaroos ("Don't Bring Me Down", perhaps)?
"OLE!" as you miss the the last bounce and end upside down?
Yeah, the BVD meets IAMB intersection stopped me for a while– particularly because I had an error lurking elsewhere– DEERE/DEARE for that fatal shipwreck. Bit of a toughie for a Tuesday, I think.
HH says:
"…Hanes clue for BVD …. The latter used to be just MAN stuff, but now I guess they can be women's apparel too. Or is Hanes making men's briefs?"
Or are men wearing women's undies? (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
"HIT THE ROOF. Why is this past tense? " Isn't it pretty much always a past tense phrase? And if it were third person, then Jane hits the roof, which wouldn't fit.
The superheroes theme seemed a bit random. Marvel vs DC, Superfriends minus Wonderwoman, big hit movies vs in development ones (Aquaman in 2013!). Not that I noticed the theme at all while solving it.
Amy Reynaldo says:
Yes, Henry. Like I was saying in my post, when a man is wearing a miniskirt, women's clothes, a pair of undies can go a long way. Going commando is best for pants and longer kilts.
And Karen, plain old present-tense HIT THE ROOF is perfectly suitable. What do you do when you find out your kid borrowed the car and sent it over the cliff? Hit the roof. I, you, we, and they hit the roof. Only the third-person singular hitS the roof.
"…when a man is wearing a miniskirt, women's clothes, a pair of undies can go a long way"
Do you see this often? (I'm in NYC, so obviously I do.)
My husband just did—see my remarks on 27a in the NYT write-up. We live a couple blocks from Boystown.
Jeff Chen says:
Unfortunate about the misplaced circles – don't know how that happened! This one was a long process, I give Rich a lot of credit for helping me get somewhere from a pretty iffy first draft, which had five ROOs sort of trudging diagonally down the puzzle amidst a forest of mucky abbreviations and xwdese:
PROOFPOSITIVE
BRIDEANDGROOM
THEOLSWITCHEROO
I didn't like that second entry at all, especially for M/T, for which I was aiming. The first I was a bit lukewarm on (pun fully intended).
I wish I could have gotten seven longish theme entries into the final version, but my thinning hair couldn't withstand too much more pulling.
Happy mornings, everyone!
Actually the superheroes are the last parts of the theme answers. BOWL XX MAN, MARINEMAN, AROUNDMAN, CRAB-MAN and CURTAIN_MAN are all part of the Legion of BadlyNamed Heroes.
I want to see Superman's birth certificate. I don't think he was born in the USA. He did die once and got over it, so your friend shouldn't get too upset.
Stephen Harper's Conservatives got a majority government with under 40% of the vote. Discuss.
"I want to see Superman's birth certificate. I don't think he was born in the USA."
The real reason Superman renounced his US citizenship? Two words — President Trump!
NYT: I've seen this before. I remember liking it a lot the first time. I can't begrudge the puzzle the fact that this is time two (or three?) I've encountered it. A Dan Naddor, you say, Joon? Didn't remember that, but I did remember it had theme density! I am curious as to the plural clue for BBL; I see BBLS has appeared in puzzles before too. Also wondering, and I think I've asked it before, why SAS is always the airline not the crack troops, which in my world are more famous. And never mind Scrabble, I'm waiting for AIEUX it to appear as a FITB answer in a puzzle now…
LAT: I don't get this at all…
PS, clearly that sing cuccu poem is way more famous than I thought…
PPS, GOCOMMANDO needs to be in a crossword…
Daniel Myers says:
I was waiting to see if someone would bring up NYT 1A—Thanks Gareth!—–Can someone please enlighten me as to how BBL can possibly be a plural?
@DM: First dictionary I checked defines "bbl." as an abbreviation for "barrels (esp. of oil)."
And what, "in" and "mg" can't mean plural "inches" and "milligrams"? They do all the time.
True enough, Amy. Thanks for the enlightenment. It just struck me as very odd whilst doing the puzzle, perhaps because I realised that we now have an abbreviated solution (or, as you point out, scads of them) that can now – in accordance with Shortz puzzle protocol – either denote singular or plural, as you will.
So, if one had a clue such as: LSD units MCG. or MCGS. would be equally correct.
No, no. SI units—International System of Units/Le Système International d'Unités—don't take a plural S. Singular and plural of "milligram" will both be "mg." And lowercase. And forget "MCG." Plus, micro- gets a mu now instead of "mc": we use "µg." When you drop acid, please think of it in µg rather than mcg.

Hi, I'm a blogger at the political website Daily Kos who posts under the username SuperBowlXX. Because I was surprised to see that my username found its way into the puzzle, I decided to commemorate it with a fun, celebratory blog post. You can read it here:

all smiles for me on the jonesin'. ROG was a big mystery and i don't understand CUTES, but such a cool grid! and isn't curious how similar DRAGRACED is to DISGRACED?
Amy – sorry, I took a nap – everything you say is quite true. But I rather doubt that puzzle constructors are going to adhere to such strictures. And, yes, I always think in μgs though I don't drop acid anymore. It's a lingering effect of dropping acid whilst studying Ancient Greek at Uni. Euripides still causes flashbacks.:-)

ICE to launch Houston oil contract, building on export growth
(Reuters) - Intercontinental Exchange on Tuesday said it would launch a crude oil futures contract deliverable in Houston later this quarter, capitalizing on the growth in U.S. exports of crude oil that have risen to about 2 million barrels a day.

Houston has become the pricing center for U.S. crude oil production and exports, and the new contract is designed to serve hedging and trading opportunities in that market, ICE said in a statement.
ICE said the Permian WTI futures contract will provide price discovery, settlement and delivery at Magellan Midstream Partners terminal in East Houston.
Brokers and market participants said the Houston crude market has ample liquidity as Gulf Coast grades are regularly traded by exporters and foreign buyers of U.S. crude. ICE's move is expected to boost liquidity further and make hedging for export cargos more flexible.
Companies are currently spending millions of dollars building infrastructure to facilitate trading and storage up and down the Gulf Coast, and producers are increasingly shipping crude directly to seaports such as Houston.
A new futures contract in Houston "should only help the Permian assets develop more quickly," said John Kilduff, partner at energy hedge fund Again Capital LLC in New York. "It'll enable banks and other lenders to know where they stand on the value of Permian crude."
Banks could use the forward curve of the futures contract to assess the value of proposed infrastructure projects in the Permian, he said.
The primary U.S. futures contract takes delivery at the storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, and has been doing so since the contract was started in the early 1980s. Storage there has been declining of late in a sign of the hub's waning influence as the primary measuring stick for the U.S. oil market.
"Although Cushing is a marker for local crude fundamentals in the mid-continent, it diverges for pricing waterborne U.S. crude," said Jeff Barbuto, vice president of oil markets at ICE.
Speculative trading could increase sharply in the Houston market if traders decide it is "a viable product," said Tariq Zahir, crude trader and managing member at Tyche Capital in New York.
"We're in a wait-and-see mode," Zahir said. "Are banks really going to be behind it? Are there going to be large market makers in it? We'll watch it."
