Expedia-owned travel search and directory site TripAdvisor will begin showing banner ads on its site this week, in addition to the site's current pay-per-click text ads.
Travel-focused ad network and sales representation firm Travel Ad Network (TAN) will sell the ads exclusively. TripAdvisor will continue to sell cost-per-click (CPC) campaigns to existing and new clients via its internal sales force. Only one graphical ad will be shown on each page, either a 728x90 banner or a 300x250 medium rectangle, according to TAN founder and CEO Cree Lawson.
TripAdvisor features user-generated content including travel advice and ratings of hotels and destinations. It is tightly integrated with other Expedia-owned sites, including Expedia.com and Hotels.com.
Lawson characterizes TAN as the "fusion of a rep firm and an ad network," combining the flexibility and expertise of an ad sales representation agency with the accountability and deliverability of a network. Ads can be purchased as run-of-network or for a specific site.
"We offer more accountable ad sales representation," Lawson said. Industry-specific expertise, exclusivity, and targeting capabilities set TAN apart from bigger travel sites or ad networks, he said. Targeting options include IP and geo-targeting, and dayparting.
"There are bigger travel audiences online, but we feel we've aggregated the best travel planning audience online," Lawson said.
Lonely Planet, another travel site that had resisted banner ads, last month announced its intentions to begin showing banner ads sold by TAN.

A Unified Stepwise Regression Procedure for Evaluating the Relative Effects of Polymorphisms within a Gene Using Case/Control or Family Data: Application to HLA in Type 1 Diabetes The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 70, Issue 1, 1 January 2002, Pages 124-141 Heather J. Cordell and David G. Clayton Abstract A stepwise logistic-regression procedure is proposed for evaluation of the relative importance of variants at different sites within a small genetic region. By fitting statistical models with main effects, rather than modeling the full haplotype effects, we generate tests, with few degrees of freedom, that are likely to be powerful for detecting primary etiological determinants. The approach is applicable to either case/control or nuclear-family data, with case/control data modeled via unconditional and family data via conditional logistic regression. Four different conditioning strategies are proposed for evaluation of effects at multiple, closely linked loci when family data are used. The first strategy results in a likelihood that is equivalent to analysis of a matched case/control study with each affected offspring matched to three pseudocontrols, whereas the second strategy is equivalent to matching each affected offspring with between one and three pseudocontrols. Both of these strategies require parental phase (i.e., those haplotypes present in the parents) to be inferable. Families in which phase cannot be determined must be discarded, which can considerably reduce the effective size of a data set, particularly when large numbers of loci that are not very polymorphic are being considered. Therefore, a third strategy is proposed in which knowledge of parental phase is not required, which allows those families with ambiguous phase to be included in the analysis. The fourth and final strategy is to use conditioning method 2 when parental phase can be inferred and to use conditioning method 3 otherwise. The methods are illustrated using nuclear-family data to evaluate the contribution of loci in the HLA region to the development of type 1 diabetes. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (181 kb) |
HLA-DRB10401 and HLA-DRB10408 Are Strongly Associated with the Development of Antibodies against Interferon-β Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 83, Issue 2, 8 August 2008, Pages 219-227 Steve Hoffmann, Sabine Cepok, Verena Grummel, Klaus Lehmann-Horn, Jörg Hackermueller, Peter F. Stadler, Hans-Peter Hartung, Achim Berthele, Florian Deisenhammer, Ralf Wasmuth and Bernhard Hemmer Abstract The formation of antibodies to interferon-beta (IFN-β), a protein-based disease-modifying agent for multiple sclerosis (MS), is a problem in clinical practice. These antibodies may neutralize the biological effects of the protein drug, potentially decreasing its therapeutic effects. By high-resolution HLA class I and II typing we identified two HLA class II alleles associated with the development of antibodies to IFN-β. In two independent continuous and binary-trait association studies, HLA-DRB1∗0401 and HLA-DRB1∗0408 (odds ratio: 5.15)—but not other HLA alleles—were strongly associated with the development of binding and neutralizing antibodies to IFN-β. The associated HLA-DRB1∗04 alleles differ from nonassociated HLA-DRB1∗04 alleles by a glycine-to-valine substitution in position 86 of the epitope-binding alpha-helix of the HLA class II molecule. The peptide-binding motif of HLA-DRB1∗0401 and ∗0408 might promote binding and presentation of an immunogenic peptide, which may eventually break T cell tolerance and facilitate antibody development to IFN-β. In summary, we identified genetic factors determining the immunogenicity of IFN-β, a protein-based disease-modifying agent for the treatment of MS. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (441 kb) |
Undetected Genotyping Errors Cause Apparent Overtransmission of Common Alleles in the Transmission/Disequilibrium Test The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 72, Issue 3, 1 March 2003, Pages 598-610 Adele A. Mitchell, David J. Cutler and Aravinda Chakravarti Abstract The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT), a family-based test of linkage and association, is a popular and intuitive statistical test for studies of complex inheritance, as it is nonparametric and robust to population stratification. We carried out a literature search and located 79 significant TDT-derived associations between a microsatellite marker allele and a disease. Among these, there were 31 (39%) in which the most common allele was found to exhibit distorted transmission to affected offspring, implying that the allele may be associated with either susceptibility to or protection from a disease. In 27 of these 31 studies (87%), the most common allele appeared to be overtransmitted to affected offspring (a risk factor), and, in the remaining 4 studies, the most common allele appeared to be undertransmitted (a protective factor). In a second literature search, we identified 92 case-control studies in which a microsatellite marker allele was found to have significantly different frequencies in case and control groups. Of these, there were 37 instances (40%) in which the most common allele was involved. In 12 of these 37 studies (32%), the most common allele was enriched in cases relative to controls (a risk factor), and, in the remaining 25 studies, the most common allele was enriched in controls (a protective factor). Thus, the most common allele appears to be a risk factor when identified through the TDT, and it appears to be protective when identified through case-control analysis. To understand this phenomenon, we incorporated an error model into the calculation of the TDT statistic. We show that undetected genotyping error can cause apparent transmission distortion at markers with alleles of unequal frequency. We demonstrate that this distortion is in the direction of overtransmission for common alleles. Therefore, we conclude that undetected genotyping errors may be contributing to an inflated false-positive rate among reported TDT-derived associations and that genotyping fidelity must be increased.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease with a complex genetic component. An association between RA and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex has long been observed in many different populations, and most studies have focused on a direct role for the HLA-DRB1 "shared epitope" in disease susceptibility. We have performed an extensive haplotype analysis, using 54 markers distributed across the entire HLA complex, in a set of 469 multicase families with RA. The results show that, in addition to associations with the DRB1 alleles, at least two additional genetic effects are present within the major histocompatibility complex. One of these lies within a 497-kb region in the central portion of the HLA complex, an interval that excludes DRB1. This genetic risk factor is present on a segment of a highly conserved ancestral A1-B8-DRB1*03 (8.1) haplotype. Additional risk genes may also be present in the HLA class I region in a subset of DRB1*0404 haplotypes. These data emphasize the importance of defining haplotypes when trying to understand the HLA associations with disease, and they clearly demonstrate that such associations with RA are complex and cannot be completely explained by the DRB1 locus.

Instruction Modifiers
Instruction modifiers affect the result of the instruction before it is written into the destination register.
Saturates (or clamps) the instruction result to [0,1] range before writing to the destination register.
For example:
add_sat dst, src0, src1
dst = clamp_between_0_and_1(src0 + src1)
The _sat instruction modifier costs no additional instruction slots.
If supported, the _sat instruction modifier can be used with any instruction except: frc - vs, sincos - vs, and texldl - vs.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of epithelial cell migration.
The cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell.
Viral protein involved in a direct and specific interaction with a host macromolecule. Viruses interact with many cellular pathways to achieve their replication cycle. Entry into the host cell, transport to the viral replication sites or viral budding are all steps that require interaction between the host and the virus. Additionally, the evasion from the host immune response requires a lot of viral proteins to associate with and inhibit cellular proteins with antiviral functions.

Protein which converts an input signal into an output signal of a different form.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.

Rogue gets in trouble by Kate Beaton
Kate Beaton forever.

A tumblr. Everything does not suck.
Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers' room, waiting for the Wednesday read-through to start. There were always a lot of noisy "comedy bits" going on in that room. Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can't remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and "unladylike." Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that! It's not cute! I don't like it." Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. "I don't fucking care if you like it." Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit. (I should make it clear that Jimmy and Amy are very good friends an there was never any real beef between them. Insert penis joke here.) With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn't there to be cute. She wasn't there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys' scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it. … I think of this whenever someone says to me, "Jerry Lewis says women aren't funny," or "Christopher Hitchens says women aren't funny," or "Rick Fenderman says women aren't funny…Do you have anything to say to that?" Yes. We don't fucking care if you like it.

Robert Reich on the Flat Tax Fraud and Need for a Truly Progressive Income Tax
Currently, we have a slightly progressive income tax. It should be more progressive than it is (and it used to be better) but the tax brackets of today are still far fairer than a "flat tax" would be.
One (simple) thing about taxes that the vast majority of Americans appear not to understand is that our tax rates are marginal. You only pay the higher rate on incomes over a certain level.
Robert Reich explains this pretty simply in his latest post:
People in higher brackets pay a higher rate only on the portion of their income that hits that bracket — not on their entire incomes.
The truth is the current tax code treats everyone the same. It's organized around tax brackets. Everyone whose income reaches the same bracket is treated the same as everyone else whose income reaches that bracket (apart from various deductions, exemptions, and credits, of course).
For example, no one pays any income taxes on the first $20,000 or so of their income (the exact amount depends on whether the person is married and eligible for tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit of the Family Tax Credit.)
So when Barack Obama calls for ending the Bush tax cut on incomes over $250,000, he's only talking about the portion of people's incomes that exceed $250,000. He's not proposing to tax their entire incomes at the higher rate that prevailed under Bill Clinton.

$100 is not a lot. I easily make double that per hour at my job - and I just graduated from College. I don't see why there is a reason for people to complain.

You on the other just buy what other want to gimmick, but how the hell is iPhone the same,does the 1st generation work or even look like the 5s, you call that the same? Who believes that shit? It's like trying to compare how close bathtubs are like outdoor pools or water parks for example, and you would say "you're just wasting time going to another place to get wet" for example. Stop acting like a smart ass.

I doubt you can prove that after they made a success of the taller iPhone, what makes you think they can fail this time, they were able to make the new phone and make it thinner, plus new things for it to without jobs. Also about the quality thing you pointed out, I was talking about what users wanted for a phone and plastic they still use is what may satisfy some users with a cheaper price, the bigger the iPhone with whatever material used, the bigger cost is.

Prices lowering doesn't make a damn difference, many own the 4s and that it's free and I don't mind 5s' high price, I couldn't be any happier than I am, but anyway, apple sold 9 million iPhones after 3 days of launch, nothing is a failure to them, but for you it's understanding your own logic, how are others doing with ideas or patch holes to fix, are they the ones ahead of apple with selling more or faster anything than theirs are?

It's almost Easter! How did that creep up so fast? At this very moment I'm writing this post from a cafe on the beach in Byron Bay, Australia. More posts on that when I return home next week. Before heading off to Australia I made raw strawberry cheesecakes. I think they're perfect for Easter and Spring! Light, fruity and delicious. We enjoyed individual sized cakes but the recipe will make a 12" cake. This is just the recipe for my raw lemon berry swirl cheesecake , but with the berries blended into the filling instead of swirled in. I made a simple strawberry sauce to go on top. A blend of strawberries, dates, and lemon juice, to taste. For the mini cheesecakes I made the crust out of coconut, coconut oil, cashews, and dates. Wishing you a great Easter! What treats will you be making? Raw Strawberry Cheesecake Crust 1 1/2 cups almonds2/3 cup raisins1/4 cup shredded coconut1 teaspoon pure vanilla Grind the almonds into a flour in a food processor.Add the raisins and continue grinding until broken down.Add the coconut and vanilla. Grind again to incorporate.Add another 1/2 - 1 teaspoon water if needed to keep the mixture held together when pressed in your hand.Press evenly into the bottom of a 12" spring form pan. Filling 4 cups mixed berries3 cups cashews3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons lemon juice2/3 cup agave or other liquid sweetenerPinch of saltLemon zest (from all juiced lemons)1 cup melted coconut oil Blend all except the oil in a high speed blender (may need the tamper).Add the oil and blend again (or whisk in) until completely smooth.Pour the filling evenly over the crust.Chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight.Garnish with berries or whatever else your heart desires! It's great as a large cake too, and I like the coconut shreds as a nice color contrast. Or make the swirled lemon berry cheesecake version! Download a copy of Raw Chocolate Dream eBook if you want to make delicious raw chocolates for Easter! Here in Byron Bay there are heaps of raw food options. At a lovely resto called Conscious Cafe, they make incredible raw desserts. The girls and I enjoyed a slice of cake one sunny afternoon. I indulged in the raw vanilla and caramel cake. It was absolutely delicious but too rich for me these days. Uly ordered the vanilla and chocolate cheesecake. It was yummy! Happy Easter!

Report Player
Have you ever wanted an easy way for your players to let you know if a player is hacking or cheating?
Well with this you can you can easily see if a player is hacking and have any player do / report [player]
and all the OP's on the server will be sent a message about who sent the report and who is hacking or cheating
and if you have Notifications Installed you will get pop ups of on your desktop (but you must host the server on your computer to see them and I really recommend installing it)
Some Commands
- /report [player] || Permission: report.player
- Permission: report.player Permission for /report
- Permission: report.view Makes you able to see the reports
In Progress
- /report help
- /report global
- Reasons for the report

There wasn't a consistent name for the sport teams during the early decades of the college. Names such as "Farmers and Mechanics," "Aggies," and "Techs" were used loosely.
The first official football game was played against Raleigh Academy, a local prep school. "A&M," which is what NC State was called at the time, won 12-6.
First official baseball game is played, with Guilford College as the opponent.
The Athletic Association approved brown and white as colors for the sports teams. Use of these colors was very short-lived.
A majority of students chose red and white as colors for the sports teams. The colors changed a couple different times during the early years of the college. The faculty agreed to the adoption of red and white and stated that they could not be changed again without a vote of two-thirds of the student body. The colors have remained the same ever since.

The monogram showing the letter "S" in block style with the letters "N" and "C" nestled within the spaces first appears in the Agromeck.
The Athletics Council makes a decision to award sweaters to athletes who receive monograms ("letters") for their athletic accomplishments; the first letter sweaters appear on campus shortly thereafter.

Willis Casey is hired as the swimming coach, and the team goes on to win or share sixteen Southern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championships over the next thirty years.

Floridian charged in clownish holdup
Cops try to figure out why he came here
A tattooed, 230-pound Florida fugitive ends up in one of the coldest major cities on the planet just days before Christmas and allegedly robs a bank while dressed as a busty female clown.
It sounds like something straight out of a Quentin Tarantino movie, but the strange story of Rondell McGarrett Johnson is very real.
Johnson, 39, was arrested earlier this week after allegedly holding up the Crosstown Civic Credit Union in the 1500 block of Regent Avenue West.
The robber had a handgun and wore the bizarre disguise, which included a clown mask, pink hair, a polka-dot shirt and fake breasts.
Johnson is in custody at the Winnipeg Remand Centre, charged with robbery with a firearm, wearing a disguise with intent to commit a crime and public mischief.
The case has made national headlines because of the unusual circumstances. New details have emerged that make it even more surreal.
Police and justice sources tell the Free Press the accused is no stranger to the law or altering his identity. Johnson is currently wanted on a warrant for violation of his parole by authorities in Colorado and has a lengthy rap sheet.
He is an American citizen, born and raised in Pensacola, Fla., who has used a number of aliases, including Buster Johnson and Derrick Ray Bodie.
Johnson has said little since his arrest following a foot chase Tuesday afternoon in which he allegedly chucked parts of his costume but was tracked down by officers and the K-9 unit near the credit union. It's alleged he was trying to hide the stolen loot in a snowbank when he was caught.
He declined a request for an interview Thursday in the remand centre. "He hates it here, says it's too cold," said a justice source who has dealt with Johnson this week.
Some of the questions investigators are trying to answer is how Johnson got into Canada, when he arrived and why he came to Winnipeg. At this point, there is no known Canadian connection.
"He claims he crossed into the country on foot by sneaking across the border through Minnesota," a justice source said Thursday.
That information has triggered an ongoing investigation by Canada Border Services. Winnipeg police are also working with U.S. agencies as they piece together Johnson's past.
Court records show he was first sentenced in 1994 for cocaine trafficking in Duval County, Fla. He was given five years in prison but was granted early release in 1997.
He was back in custody in 2004 after another arrest for selling drugs. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years behind bars, serving just over two.
He was arrested a third time in 2008, although the charge isn't clear on his court records. He spent five months in custody before being released.
Sources couldn't say Thursday what charges his Colorado parole violation stems from. Colorado officials have been in touch with remand centre staff, asking for updates on Johnson's status.
His past indicates an issue with drugs, which experts say is often a motivator for robberies. But why someone on the run from U.S. authorities would head north isn't clear, although there have been a handful of cases in recent Manitoba history where fugitives did so in the belief they'd get softer treatment in the Canadian justice system.
In Johnson's case, he will remain in custody in Winnipeg at least over Christmas.
A Legal Aid lawyer has been assigned to represent him and appeared in court Thursday, adjourning his case until Dec. 27. No bail hearing is scheduled.
Federal Crown prosecutor Ian Mahon said his office has yet to be contacted by federal or U.S. government officials about possible extradition of Johnson.
