Abstract: An anchor can be coupleable to a bone, where the anchor includes a head, a shank, a first extension, and a second extension. The head can include a distal head portion and a proximal head portion, where the proximal head portion can be open at a proximal end of the head. The shank can extend distally from the distal head portion, where the shank including a threaded portion configured to engage the bone. The second extension can be opposing the first extension, and the second extension can include a second proximal support coupled to a second end of a first elongate portion, where a first proximal support can extend transverse to the longitudinal axis, and the first proximal support portion and the second proximal support portion can be separated in a first condition and can be engaged to transfer forces there between in a second.

Abstract: A utility bra includes a right strap, a left strap, a right cup coupled with the right strap, a left cup coupled with the left strap, a center panel coupled with the right cup and the left cup, and a strap securing mechanism having an inner securing layer and an outer securing layer. The inner securing layer includes an inner gripping element and the outer securing layer includes an outer gripping element. The inner gripping element and the outer gripping element face toward one another, for example when the utility bra is worn by a user. The strap securing mechanism is coupled with the right strap or the left strap. The inner gripping element and the outer gripping element operate to grip the a personal item between the inner securing layer and the outer securing layer.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods for determining the contributions of canid populations to a canid genome. The methods comprise the steps of: (a) obtaining the identity of one or both alleles in a test canid genome for each of a set of markers; and (b) determining the contributions of canid populations to the test canid genome by comparing the alleles in the test canid genome to a database comprising canid population profiles, wherein each canid population profile comprises genotype information for the set of markers in the canid populations.
