Systems Biomedicine: Molecules, Cells and Networks
This active-learning course will introduce core biochemical, cell biological and molecular mechanisms together with basic bioinformatic and systems biology concepts and applications in the context of human biomedical research. The emphasis is 'topdown', beginning with a pathophysiological condition studied from a clinical perspective and moving towards explication of the molecular and metabolic logic, regulatory circuits and cell and tissue specific properties that distinguish the disease and normal state. The goals of this course are to provide inquisitive, self-directed students with an appreciation of the complexity of biological systems across scales and to give insight into pathophysiology as a basis for scientific enquiry and development of new therapeutic strategies. Students will be guided to relevant textbook material and current reviews, and will also participate in analyses of primary journal articles to enhance their study of scientific method and to illustrate a variety of experimental and computational approaches to contemporary translational biomedicine.

It used to be that water was a simple way of quenching your thirst. Now it is a designer beverage. But is there really a difference between tap water and bottled waters?
Walk into any supermarket, drug store, convenience store, vending area, or shopping mall, and you are likely to find an array of bottled water brands. It is estimated that Americans now consume more than two billion gallons of bottled water per year. Yet, many people are surprised when they find out exactly what is in bottled water.
The definition of bottled water is pretty straightforward: any water (generally containing no additives) intended for human use that is sealed in a bottle or other container. What is surprising, however, is the source of bottled water. Because, in addition to "natural" sources, such as artesian, spring, mineral, and sparkling water, approximately 25% of all bottled waters originate in municipal water supplies.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies bottled water as a food and regulates it according to standards from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. According to FDA rules, bottled water products must be tested each year to be certain they are free of, or contain only trace amounts of, certain contaminants. These include:
In addition, bottled water is tested for aesthetic contaminants such as iron, zinc, sulfate, or chloride, as well as other physical characteristics which, though not posing a health hazard, can negatively affect the taste, odor, or appearance of the water. Many state environmental agencies require that as a condition for selling bottled water in that state, the water be tested for certain additional contaminants not tested for by FDA. Finally, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), a large industry trade group, also requires that its member companies test for certain contaminants not covered by FDA.
Water is classified as "bottled water" or "drinking water" if it meets all applicable federal and state standards, is sealed in a sanitary container, and is sold for human consumption. Bottled water cannot contain sweeteners or chemical additives (other than flavors, extracts or essences) and must be calorie-free and sugar-free. Flavors, extracts, and essences derived from spice or fruit can be added to bottled water, but these additions must comprise less than 1% by weight of the final product. Beverages containing more than the 1%-by-weight flavor limit are classified as soft drinks. In addition, bottled water may be sodium-free or contain "very low" amounts of sodium. Some bottled waters contain natural or added carbonation.
Not necessarily. The requirements for testing of municipally supplied tap water are generally just as stringent as those required for the testing of bottled water. However, there may be other reasons to choose bottled water, such as:
There are a few reasons not to drink bottled water:
Many people now opt for drinking water filtration systems (either filtered containers into which tap water is poured or filtration systems that are directly hooked to the tap). These systems, which are more economical than bottled water, generally improve the taste, appearance, and odor of tap water and may also remove some contaminants. A note of caution, however. In most (if not all) cases, such systems should not serve as a substitute for bottled water if your tap water comes from a private water supply system subject to little or no regulation or testing, or from a municipal water supply system that has temporarily become contaminated.
Today's supermarket shelves offer an array of bottled waters. But what do the terms on the labels really mean? The International Bottled Water Association defines the following types of bottled water:

Beautiful Gown! I wore this beautiful gown for my wedding recently and it was FANTASTIC! The fit was perfect and showed off all my curves. The dress was lightweight and comfortable for the whole evening. I was able to dance, sit and eat my heart out :) March 31, 2014
Gorgeous dress I just had my first bridal appointment I tried on 4dresses, This was my last one and I really was not into it when It was brought for me to try on but the lady suggested it for my figure since I do want something that brings out my curves. So I try it on I walk out of the fitting room and right away my sister and sister in laws reaction was a big gasp! OMG! We love it. I didn't at fist glance but the more I kept it on and walked around and looked at myself I began to love it, specially when my sisters and lady pointed out the back of the dress to me, I fell in love with it! Still I didn't end of purchasing because I didn't want to rush into it, now I just find myself looking back at this dress more and more I think I found the one and will be making my purchase soon! March 18, 2014
Love It! Searching for a dress was hard for me. I'm 5'3" and 100lbs, so I had difficulty finding something 'sexy.' I tried on several dresses over a year ago, and thought I had found the one for me. This dress was on sale the day I went to try on the other dress I wanted, and I absolutely fell in love! The satin texture is absolutely stunning and the beading is beautiful! I didn't ever think I would want an ivory dress, but it makes my skin look so good! It's just an off white color, so it doesn't really look ivory. I love this dress and WOW I look sexy in it!! ;) March 14, 2014
I AM IN LOVE! When I walked in to the store first dress I saw was this one but I didnt really like it. My mother suggested I try it on. This was the first dress I tried on and let me tell you that I fell IN LOVE!!! I got so many compliments on my dress the day of the wedding and I am still getting compliments. It is a beautiful dress! It was so comfortable! March 6, 2014

Type=RANDOM and standardization
Mplus Discussion
Growth Modeling of Longitudinal Data
Daniel E Bontempo
posted on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 - 10:37 am
Hi -
I am seeking further insight into why standardized estimates and confidance intervals are not available when type=RANDOM. Is it a computational problem or is it in some way thoretically invalid?
We have a tricotomus item checklist with 5 factor structure and data at 4 waves (intervals vary enough to require inidivdual time basis). Because of the large number of indicators for each factor and other data conditions, we are not able to run a 5-factor multivariate growth model. What we have done is run pairwise growth models, getting the covariance of the slopes in each model. Then, for tabulation purposes,we standardize the covariances using the estimated slope variances. I'm not sure these are true correlations, but they are in a common metric we can compare.
My concern is that the reason standardized values are not available might speak to some gross invalidity to what we are doing. Any further discussion/comment would be appreciated.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 - 2:45 pm
The basic idea is that for TYPE=RANDOM, there is not a single variance/covariance matrix but rather one for each value of x. This makes in unclear how one would standardize.
Daniel E Bontempo
posted on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 - 3:32 pm
I see the problem.
Is there some better way to compare associations of slopes if they are not all in the same model?
Setting aside the curves of factors (as describe above). Say I calculate the manifest score of factors A & B and a covariate C at each occasion. I run two multivariate growth models with TYPE=RANDOM. One has trajectory of A with trajectory of C, while the 2nd has trajectory of B with trajectory of C. A and B are not on the same scale because each has a different number of items. IF I want to compare the relative associations A with C and B with C, does our claculation offer any value?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 8:51 am
Sounds like you are asking about two different things. You can certainly use a standardization of a covariance between two slope growth factors - that correlation is fine. In contrast your last paragraph seems to talk about regressions. But it confuses me. It first talks about factors (I assume DVs) A and B and a covariate C, so it sounds like regressing A or B on C - but then you say "trajectory A with trajectory of C", which I don't understand.
Daniel E Bontempo
posted on Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 9:59 am
Sorry for any confusion. We have done this calculation for a few different growth models and I had them collectively in mind. Let me try to clarify to get us all on the same age. The same underlying data is used and we have 4 waves.
In one case we had factors at each occasion with tricotomous indicators, linear growth model, obtained the covariance of the growth parameters. We did this pairwise because we could not get the 5-factor model to run. I called this the curves of factors model, or 2nd order growth. The growth parameters are not regressed on any covariates. We obtain the covariances of the growth parameters from MPlus and standardize them for tabulation using the estimated variances of the respective growth parameters.
In the 2nd application we used the manifest scores of the factors as well as the manifest score of another instrument. We did five multivariate (two linear growth curves) models using each factor score respectively with the 2nd instrument. (I distinguish this as 1st order growth model). In this model we do regress the growth parameters on covariates such as gender and IQ deficit. We obtain the growth parameter covariances (conditioned on the covariates) and standardize them with the estimated residual variances of the growth parameters.
Daniel E Bontempo
posted on Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 10:00 am
When I refer to "trajectory with" I am only talking about the growth parameter covariances (level-level, level-slope, slope-slope) obtained from our MPlus Model. I guess I, somewhat confusingly, distinguished A & B as factors and C as a covariate because A & B are two dimensions of the instrument with 5 factor structure, and we have some models that include the item level and estimate the factors. C on the other hand is a global health assessment and is always in our models as a summary score. Sorry for any confusion.
If I understand you, you see no problem with our standardization of the covariance.
Is this true in both applications, including the one where the growth parameters are conditioned on a few covariates?
How does this relate to Type=Random and Linda's initial response about individual covariance matrices?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 8:20 pm
Didn't this thread start with you using Type = Random for which standardizations are not produced? You work with growth modeling so perhaps you used Type=Random to handle individually-varying times of observation. Linda's answer concerned having a random slope in a regression of y on x in which case the y variance is a function of the x values and standardization is therefore not well defined. But it sounds like you have a growth model with regular regression on covariates and standardization would be straightforward and fine. As long as you don't use the standardized coefficients for comparisons across groups - but it sounds like you work with the same group and just different DVs.
At one point you mention standardizing with respect to the residual variance of a DV, but you want to use the full variance.
Daniel E Bontempo
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 1:33 pm
Bengt, thanks for the followup. I am doing growth modeling, and we do have individual times of observation. We are using Type=Random, and if we ask for STD in the OUTPUT, we get the message that it is not available for Type=Random. Or, at least we do inthe growth model where the growth parameters are regressed on gender and IQ.
Yes. it is the same group and just different DV in the growth model. Glad this is not a problem as I did not think of another way.
Concerning your point about full variances, do you mean that I should run an unconditional model, note the vairances, and then use those to standardize the covariances reported in the conditional model? Residual variances are reported in the conditional model. Or, are the full variances in one of the tech outputs?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 3:13 pm
Yes, Type = Random does not produce standardized values. When the only reason for Type = Random is due to "AT" (individually-varying times of observation) as in your case, it would in principle be possible to provide standardized results (current Mplus just shuts it off whenever RANDOM is specified) - in that case we don't have a random slope for the covariate (only for the time variable), which is the sticking point. To make a long story short, in your case standardization of coefficients for growth factors regressed on covariates is appropriate and you could compute these by hand given the output in Mplus (see standardization formulas in the new Mplus Version 5 User's Guide, chapter 17).
Regarding your last question, you should use the conditional run and just get the full variances from Tech4.
Daniel E Bontempo
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 5:35 pm
Thanks again. This is so helpful.
Unfortunately TECH4 is also not available when Type=RANDOM. But, I do not mund doing the uncnditional run if that is what I need to do.
If I can ask, since the covariance is of the residualized levels and slopes, why is it necessary to use the full variances instead of the residual variances? Is this not conceptually a covariance of residuals which generally would be standardized with residual variances?
That aside, the formulas you mention refer to regression coefficients. No formula is explicitly given for covariances. I am dividing the covariance by the square root of the product of the variances. Correct?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 6:01 pm
Talking about growth factors regressed on covariates - no need to approximate by using the unconditional run - unless you have many covariates - it can be hand calculated.
Talking about WITH parameters - yes, if you are interested in residual correlations you should certainly use the residual variances.
That's right - square root of the product of the variances.

Experience of a NICE lay representative
NICE involves patients, carers and other members of the public in many areas of its work. One of our most active contributors, Susan Bennett, discusses NICE and her work as a lay representative.
Q: In what capacity are you involved with NICE?
A: I'm a lay member of the Interventional Procedures Advisory Committee.
Q: What first prompted you to get involved?
A: I am a trustee of Incontact, the bladder and bowel organisation. Three years ago, Incontact suggested that I should apply to be a patient representative for the guideline development group (GDG) that was developing NICE's clinical guideline on faecal incontinence.
Q: What impact do you think your work as a lay member has had on the committees and guideline development groups you have beeninvolved in?
A: I have helped raise awareness of patient and service user views as well as disability and equality issues.
Q: What has been your greatest challenge?
A: Overcoming my own disabilities, especially my hidden ones such as chronic neuropathic pain, to attend meetings.
Q: Have there been any unexpected benefits for you?
A: Being involved with NICE means I've kept my own skills up to date, such as my IT skills. Generally, it has boosted my confidence and self-esteem.
Q: What advice would you give to someone who has decided to join NICE as a lay member on one of its committees or guideline development groups?
A: Always remember, you are an equal team member. You are the member of the group who has knowledge of living with a condition 24/7 - most professionals only know about the condition.

Origin Live Calypso
Get a dealer to set it up for you and you'll have an excellent sounding record player. Some aspects of finish need improving, thoughWrite your own review
- Spacious, fluid sound
- impressive detail resolution and insight
- electronic speed change
- Attention to detail needs to be better
This Origin Live combo is a frustrating mix of fabulous and flawed. It's made up of a Calypso turntable (£1495), Onyx arm (£450) and Aladdin moving iron cartridge (£495).
If sound quality is all, this combination is a strong contender at this price. It has a fluid way with dynamics and delivers music as varied as Radiohead's 15 Step and Holst's Jupiter with impressive and clarity.
The package's surefooted timing is pleasing, as is its ability to dig up lots of detail without sounding overly-analytical. It's a terrific all-rounder, sonically at least.
Move away from sound, however, and things become a little more mixed. There are aspects we like: the electronic speed change, and the fact that the Aladdin can be plugged into a moving magnet phono stage, saving the extra cost and complication of moving coil phono circuitry.
Less than perfect finish
We're less keen on the finish on the plinth and the chrome parts. We'd like the frame that holds the bias wire to be properly attached, too; ours moved too easily, changing the bias force during use.
It's a shame, because that the basic engineering is excellent: the Onyx arm feels lovely, and the precision of the main bearing and the thought that's gone into the overall structure is impressive.
It wouldn't take much for us to get right behind this Origin Live. As things stand we recommend it with caution.

56 Hope Road might have acquired its name from the address of Bob Marley's compound in Kingston, Jamaica but the band has seen many a road. Deemed road warriors by Jambase.com, lead singer Dave Hamilton explained the band plays shows non-stop.
"We have played 220 shows a year for three years," Hamilton said without skipping a beat. "We've played in every state except Oregon, Montana and Florida."
While excessively hitting the road has comprised the last three years of the band's existence, members Hamilton, drummer Greg Fundis and upright bass player Chad Sanders have been playing together since 1999. The trio added saxophone player Casey Fitzpatrick at the beginning of 2007.
Hamilton explained the band was formed when he met Fundis and Sanders in college.
"I just always wanted a band," Hamilton said. "It just fit."
Hamilton followed Fundis and Sanders to Chicago when they moved after college. Fundis and Sanders received degrees in music but Hamilton took a less formal route.
"I quit (school) to be a rock star," Hamilton said.
Living up to his aspirations, 56 Hope Road released the band's fourth studio album in February.
Hamilton said the latest album, "Law Of Attraction," showcases the band's growth since 2005's "Once In Our Lives."
"We grew up and write better songs," Hamilton said. "Our music is about being positive and that's what we're about."
56 Hope Road draws inspiration directly from Bob Marley with a reggae-esque sound mixed with a soulful, church-revival-like saxophone, which incorporates Midwest jazz beats with the up-beat lyrics.
"Our rhythm section is one of the best in the business," Hamilton boasts. "We call it acoustic funk."
To see 56 Hope Road perform, wander over to the pavilion outside Great Basin Brewing Co. at 6 p.m. For more information about the band, and to listen to a few tunes, visit www.56hoperd.com or www.myspace.com/56hoperoad.

Team USA Visits Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial
Retired Colonel Joe Bevilacqua is the Superintendent of the American cemetery in Nettuno Italy and has also helped us with the field preperations over the past few weeks with equipment and resources .During our conversations he wondered if the USA baseball team may have some time to come over to the cemetery to see the site. One thing lead to another and it worked out that Team USA could be there a few minutes before BP of the Netherlands game.
The site is as impressive as Arlington with over 8000 Americans laying rest from the Anzio beach invasion of the allied forces during WWII. The 77 acre site is American property. The players were obviously moved by Colonel Joe's presentation of the invasion and the cemetary facts. Joe has a crew of over 16 guys that maintain the grounds which were breath taking.
Not only was there a memorial but also a chapel where the names of over 3000 soldiers considered missing in action have their names etched into the Roman traventine marble. Inscribed in bold letters in the chapel" IN PROUD REMEMBERANCE OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF HER SONS AND IN HUMBLE TRIBUTE TO THEIR SACRIFICES THIS MEMORIAL HAS BEEN ERECTED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" On some unknown cemetary markers the inscription reads..HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY A COMRADE IN ARMS KNOWN BUT TO GOD"
A couple of the players were talking and I over heard one say that had the guys laying here not given the ultimate sacrfice we would not be here today playing this game. And the other player responded …yes an we would probably be speaking a different language as well.
Im glad it worked out they could get over to see the cemetery as it really puts things in perspective as to why we are playing these games. Many Many thanks to our armed forces for keeping us safe. God Bless you Guys and Gals.
Anyway …. CUBA – USA tommorow for the GOLD MEDAL Check out the poster .

To beep or not to beep, seems to be more than a question. The beep makes couponers tremble and probably irritates cashiers.
If you have read a coupon, matched it up with an item and then heard the "oh-so-wonderful" beep at the register, you know what I'm talking about. There are legitimate coupons that will beep, as well as some that will not beep when used on items not intended for that coupon.
With coupons, you can't always rely on the barcode, which is the root of why a coupon beeps or doesn't beep. You have to go with the wording on the coupon. Not the picture, mind you, but the wording.
If a coupon states, "Not for trial or travel sizes," but someone tells you that it won't beep, do not use it.
If a coupon states a specific item but you learn it doesn't beep on an item not intended for the coupon, do not use it.
On the flip side, if you follow the wording and you have the correct product, correct size, etc, it may beep. Make sure you and the cashier read it and match it up with the product. If you are both unsure, ask for manager approval. The store has the right to refuse the coupon if it beeps, but, kindly ask for approval if you know it is correct.
A coupon will also beep if the item purchased is less than the coupon value. If you purchase a product that is $1 and the coupon is for $2 off the item, it will beep. Most stores will value down the coupon, which is a source of debate among couponers because the manufacturer will reimburse the store for the full value of the coupon, plus eight cents.
According to the coupon policy at Wal-Mart, the company gives the consumer full value of the coupon amount and allows the overage to go towards other purchases. The coupon will beep and the cashier has to verify the amount.
Got a question? Email me at email@example.com.
It is also important to note that Couponmom.com has the match-up of the Tide $2 with the travel size on her website. She is the official P&G spokesperson.
In the meantime, Wal-Mart has the right to refuse this coupon, but it will get reimbursed the full $2, plus eight cents, should the store accept it.
If you have any questions, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This was originally published on June 30, 2011.
When Walmart released an updated coupon policy and price match guarantee in March 2011, couponers breathed a sigh of relief. However, it wasn't long before specific questions were asked if price matching at a Walmart store was before, or after, coupon reward programs like Walgreen's Register Rewards (RRs) and CVS' Extra Care Bucks (ECBs).
The answer wasn't always very clear. Consumers received varied answers from Walmart Customer Service representatives and store personnel. Adding to the confusion is the fact that many times Walmart managers didn't seem to agree and the answer varied from store to store.
So, I asked Walmart Media Relations to clarify if their price match guarantee was before or after printable rewards which are only received after an item is purchased.
The example I presented was in the Walgreen's 6/19-6/25 ad, which offered a $5 Register Reward for one Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor System, sale priced at $9.89. I asked to clarify if the price match would be for $9.89 or would it deduct the Register Reward, bringing the total to $4.89. (There was a $4 off Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor from the P&G, which would make the razor $.89 if the price match was after Register Rewards.)
According to Walmart spokesperson, Tara Raddohl, "Walmart will match a competitor's sale price, the $9.89 sale price in your example. Register rewards are not coupons, so the amount of the register reward would not be deducted from the price."
Raddohl also stated, "Walmart's policy states that we will honor preferred shopping card prices for specific items at a specific price that are in a printed ad."
