This new organization brings together key capabilities of the Institute in support of MIT's mission to educate its students and the world. ODL programs collectively reach thousands of enrolled MIT students and hundreds of millions of educators and learners worldwide. MITx creates the massive open online courses (MOOCs) from MIT that appear on the edX platform. As of fall 2013, MITx has offered nine different courses on edX, which have attracted more than 750,000 total enrollments. MITx also supports on-campus experimentation with edX tools in MIT residential courses. MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) has made classroom-based educational materials available widely and freely online for more than a decade. It shares core academic materials—including syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, and exams—from more than 2,180 undergraduate and graduate MIT courses under an open license that allows for wide and flexible reuse of the content. OCW materials have been accessed by an estimated 170 million educators and learners worldwide. The Office of Educational Innovation and Technology (OEIT) partners with faculty, staff, and students in the exploration, development, and dissemination of innovative uses of technology for teaching and learning in the classroom and online. OEIT projects strengthen the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematical concepts at MIT and beyond through visualization tools concept-based navigation of educational resources, and support for developing modular online courses.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Maggie!
Facts about Maggie
- Breed: Other/Unknown Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Standard
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Maggie's Info...
I am already spayed and housetrained.
Maggie's Story...
Maggie is available for adoption. Maggie is very well behaved, sweet, and playful. She's also spayed and litterbox trained.
Maggie is available for adoption. Maggie is very well behaved, sweet, and playful. She's also spayed and litterbox trained.
Other Pets at Leaps & Bounds Rabbit Rescue, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maggie, a Roseville Other/Unknown was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Other/Unknown for sale in Roseville, or seeking a Other/Unknown from a breeder in Roseville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Roseville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Roseville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Other/Unknown breeders who help with Other/Unknown rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Roseville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Well, obviously they count to the Ratcatcher. But specifically I am referring to whether they count as an ally.
Take the melee action Backstab - It has a difficulty of 3 Misfortune. But for each of your allies engaged with the enemy, it reduces this by 1 Misfortune. Does the SBVD count?
Also, does the pet move on its own? Should it roll initiative? Or do we just assume that it moves with the player?

I love finding yummy, healthy recipes (and some that are just yummy :). DH & I love ethnic foods and our favorite recipes reflect this. I like trying new recipes but I am still quite a novice (as is reflected by my "public name").

It is the worst sound a bike owner will ever hear.
I heard it on Friday, and promptly put my car into reverse, backing slowly out of the garage a few feet before getting out to inspect the damage.
I hoped maybe it was a flesh wound – shifters, a handlebar and stem, even the fork. Just let the frame be alright. No such luck.
My cyclocross bike sat on my roof rack like an accusation, with all the evidence needed to back it up: splayed fork legs, the downtube severed clean off, as with a knife, and a fat crimp in the top tube. My cross bike was toast.
I'd been on deadline all week for a story, and driving home from the car dealership, my mind wandered to aspects of the article. As I pulled into the driveway and hit the garage door opener, it never occurred to me that the helmet sitting on the passenger seat should have been a warning to stop, that there was a bike on the roof.
Looking at my bike – which, in a testament to Yakima, was still firmly attached to my Viper fork-mount rack, despite a fork shorn of lawyer tabs – I felt like a chastened speeder addressing a cop.
"But I wasn't going that fast."
No, of course not, only a few miles an hour. But put a frame in a vice and then slowly but inexorably apply 3,000 or so pounds of force and, yeah, it's probably going to snap.
"I can explain…"
Of course I can. See, the day before, I had gone to Denver to do an interview. On the way home, in moderate traffic on I-25, the driver directly in front of me swerved abruptly to miss a cast-off retread from an 18-wheeler. With cars on either side of me, however, I had no such options and ran over it squarely between the wheels. Although the car still drove fine and no damage was evident to my eye, it of course was prudent to have it checked out by someone who knows more about cars than I do. Which is to say anyone, really, although I still opted for a dealer mechanic.
I hate waiting for my car when I get it serviced. There's that sterile waiting room with Fox or CNN blabbing the world's bad news, maybe a newspaper or a copy of Car and Driver or, improbably, the Robb Report. ("For the Luxury Lifestye" – please, this is a Subaru dealership here.) It seems such environments are designed to bore you so greatly you might go out and, you know, kick some tires. Take something for a test drive. Get into an unplanned conversation with a salesman about the fantastic financing incentives and trade-in offers that, you know, expire tomorrow.
So when I take my car in, I chuck a bike on the roof rack and ride home, reversing the process that afternoon. In 14 years of owning both car with bike rack and bikes, I've employed this strategy. In that time, I've never t-boned a garage awning with a bike on my car. In fairness, however, it has only been for the past year that I've had a garage I can put said car in. Previous garages were filled with bikes, as they should be. A recent bout with sanity and a new home provided me with the interest and square footage to actually try to get my car in there too.
Going only a year before killing my first bike this way is, of course, not confidence-inspiring. I have many plans to prevent this from happening again, the simplest and most effective of which is to simply remove the remote door opener from my windshield visor. But none of that will bring back my bike.
My cyclocross bike was an excellent bike, a 54cm Pinarello made with Dedacciai aluminum and a retro steel fork. It wasn't a technological marvel, but it was sexy as hell., with deep cobalt blue paint fading into white windows on the down and seat tubes and airbrushed accents, all in that fantastically vibrant paint that only Italians can do because if you used it here in the U.S. the EPA would shut you down like Kmart.
I'd always wanted to own a Pinarello, and in 1999, buoyed by my interest in cyclocross and a thinly supported need for a second bike, I bought this one. I loved it so much I eventually sold my other 'cross bike. I'd never truly needed two; it was just an excuse to buy a beautiful bike. Scot Nicol, the once-and-future-king of Ibis Cycles, names cars for people he buys them from. My Pinarello never had such a moniker; if it was given similar treatment, it would have been called "eBay," where I found it discounted at a shop in North Carolina because it was the previous year's paint scheme (and one, I might add, far superior to the current block red look Pinarello offers). But just because I didn't name it Lucille ("Anything so innocent and built like that just gotta be named Lucille," says Dragline in "Cool Hand Luke") doesn't mean I didn't love it.
I have a number of bikes, but the Pinarello was a daily driver. Around Boulder, there is good road riding, but some of the best is unpaved. And while mountain bikes are allowed on a good portion of county open space, tooling those crusher-fine gravel paths and trails on a Blur LT is the two-wheeled ordnance equivalent of swatting flies with a bazooka. They're just slightly too rough for a road bike but not nearly technical enough for a full-blown mountain bike, even a hardtail. On a cyclocross bike, however, they're perfect – miles of traffic-free riding that blends the steady metronome-like quality of a road ride with enough technical challenge to keep you honest.
And, the Pinarello fit me beautifully. In the course of testing bikes for Bicycling and Mountain Bike, it's amazing how many different philosophies of fit you can find, and how many manufacturers have strikingly divergent ideas on not just how a bike should ride, but what's the proper top tube length for a given road bike is to begin with. So depending on the bike, sometimes I feel like Stretch Armstrong. And, at 33, I have probably more than my share of structural issues, namely a neck that likes to lock down like a federal penitentiary if I'm too stretched out on a bike.
The Pinarello's moderate 54.5cm top tube length, coupled with a zero-degree stem and judicious brake hood placement, offered a perfect solution for me. It handled capably on road or trail. The bottom bracket was low enough to rail corners like Bode Miller after a long night out, but high enough not to clip pedals when leaned over.
The bike was comfortable, reasonably light and fast – with Vittoria Evo XN tires, it rode surprisingly quick on pavement but offered enough cush and traction to tackle even reasonably bumpy trails like Rowena Gulch. And it's gone.
"Dude, that is why I don't have a bike rack on my car," said Ara.
"Dude, Bummer!" said Michael.
"You handled that really well, honey," said my wife as I held chin up while contemplating a good cry. At least she didn't say "dude."
Yeah, all that is true. And I can rationally list all the good things surrounding this incident. I'd almost ridden to the dealer on my beloved Bob Jackson road bike – a collector's item due to its complete set of Nervex lugs, which were last made the year I was born. And the car was damaged neither by the rubber landmine I hit nor the garage incident. And I did not break the bike in a crash in which, assuredly, I would have been hurt quite badly, if the damage to the bike is any guide. But I want my 'cross bike back, dammit.
I'm glad you asked why I don't just buy another Pinarello. Let me explain. You know how, when you love someone, you love them as much for all of the little idiosyncratic things they do that drive you perfectly batty as you do for all of their readily apparent qualities? How you love your husband even though he constantly does things like re-shuffle the dishes you put in the dishwasher or straightens your towels on the rack? Or you love your wife not in spite of, but because, her beauty supplies occupy more square mileage than Alexander the Great conquered in his entire military career?
My Pinarello, much as I eulogize it, had one flaw: the fork, essentially the same flat-crowned steel model sold with Pinarello road bikes a decade ago, was not strong enough. It would flex under braking, causing extreme brake squeal and chatter which had a kind of nasty effect on both control and braking power. And, Pinarello still offers the bike only with a 1-inch steerer tube, an artifact built around this aging fork, so it's almost impossible to replace the thing with something stiffer. As well, it's that simple plain red color now and I can't abide by that. Even if you could find another woman whose hair products sprawled all over the bathroom like so many drunk Belgian fans at Hooglede, she wouldn't be your wife.
And so, my heart heavy, I embark on a quest for a new cyclocross frame. It has to be sexy, like my Pinarello. There is no point in owning an ugly bike of any kind, really. It must be light, and nimble. And although I don't race 'cross as much as I used to, it must have serious race cred. For all that, I'll probably go Euro again. An Empella would be a nice choice, but they are so race-specific the frames don't even have water-bottle bosses. Perhaps a Ridley, or something truly exotic – a Colnago? – although I don't know that I can justify that kind of cash for a 'cross bike.
I don't know what I'll buy. What I do know is that one month from now, I'll be walking the halls of the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas where, at the annual Interbike trade show, almost every bike company on the planet will be displaying its new wares for 2007. It's like looking for a new girlfriend at the Miss Universe pageant: you might not take anyone home, but you certainly won't lack for opportunity.
It will be exciting, for sure. New love always is. But there's a part of me that doesn't really want new love because it can never be the same. I want the old love back. That's impossible, of course, so I have to move on. No bike will ever replace the Pinarello. It had a personality and whatever my new bike will be will have another. And I'm sure that it will have its own imperfections. But I'm looking forward to those, too. Because at some point, I will know and love that bike enough that somehow even the imperfections will be perfect, and I guess that's what happiness is all about.

Sky Aviation was established as an Air Charter service a few years ago with a fleet of two Cirrus aircraft. Throughout a Management change in 2010, SKY Aviation is now expanding its services as a scheduled airline. This in view of Indonesia being one of the largest growth areas for scheduled flights in the region.
In first quarter 2011 Sky acquired regional turbo props as new type of fleet. Best regional turbo props based on our study is Fokker 50. Three Fokker 50 aircaft were added to the Sky. Like the Cessna Grand Caravan, our Fokker fleet are now servicing in scheduled route in Indonesia.
Starting 2013, Sky Aviation welcomed the arrival of the Sukhoi Superjet 100. Until now, Sky Aviation has had 3 units of Sukhoi Sukhoi Superjet 100. This jet aircraft first came in February 2013 to serve the route flight operations Lampung – Batam, basecamp in Batam. While the second Sukhoi arrived in August 2013 will serve: Jakarta, Denpasar, Kupang Labuanbajo. With the arrival of Sukhoi Super Jet, then the number of Sky Aviation current fleets is 11 units, consisting of: 3 units of Sukhoi, 5 units of Fokker 50, 1 unit of Grand Caravan and 2 units of Cirrus. And serving 25 cities flight route, both nationally and internationally. To improve service and get closer to the customer, we have cooperated with more than 1000 travel agents across Indonesia, online ticket booking system that can be accessed anywhere and anytime, as well as Sky Protection insurance which guarantees the comfort and confidence of passengers during the flight.

The Development Assistance Group (DAG) comprises 27 bilateral and multilateral development agencies providing assistance to Ethiopia. The DAG was established in 2001 initially as a forum for donors to share and exchange information.
The main objective of the DAG is to ensure a more effective delivery and utilization of development assistance to Ethiopia. DAG actively works to foster and catalyze policy dialogue and co-ordinate support in the preparation, monitoring and evaluation of the country's Poverty Reduction Strategy (currently the Growth and Transformation Plan - 2010/11-2014/15) and the universal Millennium Development Goals.The DAG works within the frameworks of global declarations and action plans such as the Rome (2003) and Paris (2005) Declarations, the Accra Agenda for Action (2008) and the Busan Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (2011).
The four-year DAG project to improve the impact of development assistance to Ethiopia and support the government in the country's efforts to reduce poverty, was finalized and signed off in July 2012. The DAG Pooled Fund is estimated to cost some three million USD and has now entered its fourth phase.

This is my entry tot he Tessuti Gridlock competition. I'm only a beginner so I don't know what possessed me to enter, but I enjoyed the challenge!
It is made from a self drafted pattern, the inside is not lined but all the seams are bound in bias binding. The neckline, arm holes and hem is also bound with bias binding, although it's only visible on the inside at the neckline. It also has hidden side-seam pockets. I tried to keep them really hidden so the lining can only be seen about an inch into the pocket. I've used the other side of the fabric for a strip at the shoulder, and used a metal zip which goes almost all the way down the back of the circle skirt. I'm quite proud of it, as it felt like a lot of work went into it.
You can read more about it on my blog Sleek Silhouette

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/CHINA - China must do more on N.Korea: Locke in confirmation hearing

(AFP) - 2 hours ago
WASHINGTON - Gary Locke, the nominee to be the next US ambassador to
Beijing, said Thursday that China must do more to pressure North Korea as
it welcomed the secretive regime's leader Kim Jong-Il.
In his Senate confirmation hearing, Locke said he would try to convince
China "that it has to step up to defuse the situation" on the Korean
peninsula and to "make sure there are no future provocations" by
"China can, definitely, and must do more," said Locke, President Barack
Obama's commerce secretary who would be the first Chinese-American
ambassador to Beijing.
Locke was responding to a question by Senator John Kerry, the chair of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who pointed to Kim Jong-Il's recent
visit to China and worried that Beijing was not putting enough pressure on
Kerry said that Chinese President Hu Jintao, on his visit to Washington in
January, told senators that China agreed with the United States that North
Korea should not have nuclear weapons.
"But despite the public affirmations of being with us in terms of our
goals, the methods they adopt and even the enforcement often takes a very
different track," Kerry said.
China did not join the United States in its staunch criticism of North
Korea over deadly incidents last year including the sinking of a South
Korean warship and the shelling of a civilian area.
China was the host of six-nation talks that aimed to provide North Korea
incentives to give up its nuclear weapons. Pyongyang pulled out of the
talks in 2009, accusing the United States of hostility.
North Korea and China have called for a resumption of the talks, but the
United States first wants Pyongyang to commit to previous denuclearization
accords and to work to ease friction with South Korea.

Financial support is available for:
The discount will apply for every day that the property is empty and in need of substantial building or remedial works to make it habitable again. The discount can last up to 12 months. We will apply the discount where we have evidence that they are incurring a rental cost living in temporary accommodation and we will deal with this on a case by case basis.For more details contact the council's Local Tax team on 01256 358555 or email email@example.com
The grants do not cover repairs that would normally be covered through insurance policies. The grants are for improvements that are over and above simply making good the damages. For normal repairs and losses contact your insurance company.
The grants are available from 1 April 2014 and are subject to a professional survey to identify appropriate flood resilience measures. The grant also covers the cost of the survey.
The kinds of measures that could be considered are set out below. This is an indicative list; different measures will be appropriate for different properties at different stages in the repair process.
The list includes both:
Property level-measures
Indicative cost range
Airbrick cover
Sewerage bung
Toilet pan seal
Self-closing airbrick
Non-return valves 12mm overflow pipe
Silicone gel around openings for cables etc.
Repair mortar
Non-return valves 40mm utility waste pipe
Re-pointing external walls with water resistant mortar
Waterproof external walls
Sump Pump
Non-return valves 110mm soil waste pipe
Demountable door guards
Demountable window guards
Replace sand-cement screeds on solid concrete slabs (with dense screed)
Replace ovens with raised, built-under type
Replace mineral insulation within walls with closed cell insulation
Move electrics well above likely flood level
Replace chipboard flooring with treated timber floorboards
Mount boilers on wall
Automatic door guards
Move service meters above likely flood level
Garage/driveway barrier
Replace floor including joists with treated timber to make it water resilient
Replace gypsum plaster with water resistant material, such as lime
Replace chipboard kitchen/bathroom units with plastic units
Install chemical damp-proof course below joist level
Replace timber floor with solid concrete
If you feel that you are eligible or would like more information please email email@example.com or call 01256 844844 to register your interest and more information will be sent to you as available.
More details on the scheme are also available on the gov.uk website.
The relief is for 100% for three months of the business rates payable regardless of how long your business has been flooded.
For more information contact the council's Local Tax Team on 01256 358555 or email email@example.com
Smaller local companies affected by flooding can apply for grants from the borough council to help recover from the impacts on their business.The government has allocated the council £65,000 of funding to set up a grant scheme open to small and medium sized enterprises in areas impacted by recent floods who have suffered damage, building problems or significant loss of trade.
The scheme allows small and medium sized local businesses to claim for up to £5,000 to help to get back on their feet. To be eligible companies will need to prove that they suffered damage or loss of premises, equipment or stock or were unable to trade normally as a result of flooding.
The money is aimed at helping with clean-up costs or the hire of drying equipment or temporary accommodation to continue trading. It will also help businesses suffering financially after the flooding by helping them to make up excesses on their insurance claims, cover costs that they cannot reclaim for replacing buildings, equipment or stock or to fund structural surveys needed as a result of the floods.
Financial support through a hardship fund is available for businesses that have been flooded or have been indirectly affected through significant loss of trade.
If you feel that your business was affected the guidance notes giving more information and the application form are below. For more information contact the council's Economic Development Team on 01256 845525 or email email@example.com

Welcome to the Genome Informatics Google Summer of Code
from the Google Summer of Code website:
Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We work with many open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together over 7,500 successful student participants from 97 countries and over 7,000 mentors from over 100 countries worldwide to produce over 50 million lines of code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
Google Summer of Code has several goals:
- Create and release open source code for the benefit of all
- Inspire young developers to begin participating in open source development
- Help open source projects identify and bring in new developers and committers
- Provide students the opportunity to do work related to their academic pursuits (think "flip bits, not burgers")
- Give students more exposure to real-world software development scenarios (e.g., distributed development, software licensing questions, mailing-list etiquette)
Genome Informatics GSoC
For the past few years, a group of related bioinformatics projects have participated in Google Summer of Code under the umbrella of Genome Informatics. This includes GMOD and its software projects -- GBrowse, JBrowse, etc.; Galaxy; PortEco; Reactome; SeqWare WormBase; and others.
How GSoC Works
From the GSoC FAQ:
- Open source projects who'd like to participate in Google Summer of Code in 2014 should choose at least two organization administrators to represent them.
- Organization administrators will submit the mentoring organization's proposal for participation online.
- Google will notify the organization administrators of acceptance, and an account for the accepted organizations will be created on the Google Summer of Code 2014 site.
- Students submit project proposals online to work with particular mentoring organizations.
- Mentoring organizations rank student proposals and perform any other due diligence on their potential students; student proposals are matched with a mentor.
- Google allocates a particular number of student slots to each organization.
- Mentoring organizations make their final decision on which students to accept into the program.
- Students are notified of acceptance.
- Students begin learning more about their mentoring organization and its community before coding work starts.
- Students begin coding work at the official start of the program, provided they've interacted well with their community up until the program start date.
- Mentors and students provide mid-term progress evaluations.
- Mentors provide a final evaluation of student progress at close of program; students submit a final review of their mentor and the program.
- Students upload completed code to Google Summer of Code site.
The organization administrators for the Genome Informatics group are Robin Haw of Reactome and Amelia Ireland of GMOD.
Contact Us
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com -- find out more about GSoC, a specific project, or your potential mentor(s).

For Students
For Mentors
Project Ideas
These projects include a broad set of skills, technologies and domains, such as GUIs, database integration and algorithms.
Students are also encouraged to propose their own ideas related to our projects. If you have strong computer skills and have an interest in biology or bioinformatics, you should definitely apply! Do not hesitate to propose your own project idea: some of the best applications we see are by students that go this route. As long as it is relevant to one of our projects, we will give it serious consideration. Creativity and self-motivation are great traits for open source programmers.
If you have any difficulty using the wiki, please email your project proposal to email@example.com and we will add it for you.
See the list of project proposals from 2013 for ideas from last year's GSoC.
For potential mentors: students work remotely and will typically communicate with you electronically. Students are expected to be self-motivated and responsible for getting work done. The average time investment is about five hours per week.
Advice from Google on suitable project ideas
The following information comes from the GSoC manual on what makes a good GSoC project:
There are many ways to define a good GSoC project—probably as many ways as there are student-mentor pairings. Here are just a few:
Low-hanging fruit: These projects require minimal familiarity with the codebase and basic technical knowledge. They are relatively short, with clear goals.
Risky/Exploratory: These projects push the scope boundaries of your development effort. They might require expertise in an area not covered by your current development team. They might take advantage of a new technology. There is a reasonable chance that the project might be less successful, but the potential rewards make it worth the attempt.
Fun/Peripheral: These projects might not be related to the current core development focus, but create new innovations and new perspective for your project.
Core development: These projects derive from the ongoing work from the core of your development team. The list of features and bugs is never-ending, and help is always welcome.
Infrastructure/Automation: These projects are the code that your organization uses to get its development work done; for example, projects that improve the automation of releases, regression tests and automated builds. This is a category in which a GSoC student can be really helpful, doing work that the development team has been putting off while they focus on core development.
source: GSoC manual
From the Genome Informatics GSoC experience in 2013, prospective students are interested in "new" technologies and languages, such as iOS and Android apps, and fancy, flashy, web-based projects.

2014 Project Ideas
Reactome: Visualising Large Diagrams
Reactome is a free, open-source, curated and peer reviewed database of biomolecular pathways with about 12.000 distinct visitors/month. The Reactome Pathway Diagram viewer was develop initially as a GSoC project and it has become part of the Reactome Pathway Browser (http://www.reactome.org/PathwayBrowser/). The widget works fine for the current size of the diagrams but there is a need of including larger diagrams in the future, so we need to improve the current implementation using a different approach.
- Languages and skills: Java, GWT, HTML5 Canvas, Data visualisation
- Idea: Henning Hermjakob <firstname.lastname@example.com>, Antonio Fabregat <firstname.lastname@example.com>
- Mentor(s): Antonio Fabregat Mundo <firstname.lastname@example.com>, Robin Haw <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Description: The current pathway diagram widget works fine for the pathways in Reactome but diagrams with a large number of entities, for example large biomolecular disease maps, slow the widget down unacceptably. A different approach is needed in order to draw larger pathways in the canvas. Including techniques used for gaming can help to our propose, for example using quadtrees would help to filter the number of objects to be drawn in each canvas iteration (depending of the zoom level and the targeted frame) and will also speed up the object hovering detection while the user moves the mouse over the diagram. Another useful improvement to the diagram could be implementing a multi-layer approach using several canvases for representing different layers of information. In this case exporting the view as an image will be a little more complicated but it is a good use case to take into account at the end of the internship.
Pathway Comparison Widget
The Pathway Comparison viewer was developed initially as a GSoC project and it has become part of the Reactome Analysis Tool (http://www.reactome.org). The idea is to improve the pathway comparison widget in order to make it interactive so the user can navigate through the result by clicking the nodes, edges and using the zoom level.
- Languages and skills: Java, GWT, HTML5 Canvas, Data visualisation, BioJS
- Idea: Henning Hermjakob <email@example.com>, Antonio Fabregat <firstname.lastname@example.com>
- Mentor(s): Antonio Fabregat Mundo <email@example.com>, Robin Haw <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Description: The current widget represents pathways as circles, whose size is determined by the number of proteins contained in the pathway and the coloration is by mean expression level. The width of the lines connecting two nodes is determined by the similarity of both pathways in terms of contained proteins (see Figure below).
For the new version we would like to have a slightly different look and feel (study different options is required) and adding interactivity will be one of the main requirements. A basic approach would be showing a popup when the user clicks a node or a link between nodes. The pop up will show a summary of the data proteins contained in the case of nodes or the similarity summary in case of the links. A most advanced improvement could be allowing the user to move nodes across the canvas or allowing to show or hide nodes (and so only showing links between the ones that are shown) and adding zoom in order to show different data granularity depending on the zoom level. The last requirement is to include the widget in the EBI BioJS registry.
- Languages and skills: Java, Bash/Linux, AWS, Google Cloud, Ansible, Vagrant, HBase/NOSQL, MapReduce+associated Hadoop technologies
- Mentor(s): Brian O'Connor <email@example.com>, Denis Yuen <email@example.com>
There are quite a few projects that I would like to see happen for SeqWare and it would be great to get a student to help on these:
- add hybrid workflow support to SeqWare Pipeline so users can write workflows that include support for Hadoop tools (Pig, Hive, M/R, etc) and traditional command line tools
- push forward the design of our multi-cloud cluster provisioning technology stack based on Vagrant. This includes incorporating cool provision technologies like Ansible.
- leverage Elastic Map Reduce on Amazon's AWS as an environment to run SeqWare
- leverage the Google cloud, add support for spinning up SeqWare clusters in this environment and to interact with their bucket store
- work with the Galaxy tool and finish the compatibility layer that allows SeqWare workflows to run/interact with Galaxy
- write a AngularJS-based web application on top of our HBase variant/read NOSQL database, write proof of concept analytical plugins that use machine learning and other advanced techniques to analyze data stored in this scalable backend
- Languages and skills: Java, JavaScript, Python
- Mentor(s): InterMine team members
Some brief ideas for InterMine projects:
- InterMine and the Semantic Web - make InterMine more semantic.
- Building biological tools - eg: a synteny viewer
- Mobile (Android/iOS) apps
- Data importer/Mine builder: an application to build a mine from a set of standard files and web-services.
Tripal Pedigree Viewer
- Languages and skills: PHP, HTML 5 and Javascript
- Mentor(s): Lacey-Anne Sanderson <email@example.com>
Description: Development of an interactive, collapsible pedigree diagram to be displayed on Tripal Germplasm pages. The nodes of the diagram need to contain the name of the stock with a link to the page and the edges of the diagram need to be named with the relationship type (ie: maternal parent of). All of the data is already stored within a PHP tree class with traversal methods. Thus we are looking for a student to use the traversal methods to generate the markup needed for their application and the actual drawing of the pedigree using languages and libraries of their choosing. Here is an example showing the collapsibility desired; however, names within the node circles (as compared to beside in the example) and labelled connector lines (edges) are needed.
Background: Tripal is a Drupal module that implements display and management of biological data within a Drupal site. Drupal is a PHP-based, database-driven content management system used for development of websites (from blogs, to ecommerce sites, and now organism community sites such as KnowPulse: Legume Breeding & Genomics, Citrus Genome and many more). See our website for more Tripal sites as well as additional information. The Tripal Germplasm module provides the ability to display and manage plant/animal breeding programs. Currently the pedigree is displayed in the community standard textual format (ie: ParentA//ParentB1/ParentB2 which says the offspring of ParentB1 & ParentB2 mated with ParentA to produce the current germplasm). Although this is descriptive and common in the community, a graphical diagram showing these relationships would be a lot more intuitive which is the motivation behind this project.
JBrowse: REST daemon for Chado
Implement a self-contained server in the language of your choice (such as Python/WSGI, Perl/Plack, node.js, or Java/Jetty) to serve feature data and name completions out of a GMOD Chado database schema according to the JBrowse 1 REST API, enabling an instance of JBrowse1 to run directly atop a Chado database. Possible addition: implement another daemon in Perl/Plack that does the same thing for a GBrowse 2 installation.
- Skills: server-side language of student's choice
JBrowse "regions of interest" lists
Add functionality to JBrowse 2 to manage lists of "regions of interest" on a per-user basis, storing the lists using the JavaScript localStorage API. Allow a user to "apply" a regions list to a view in JBrowse 2 so that the view shows only the user's regions, without any of the intervening space in between.
- Skills: advanced JavaScript
Drupal-based GMOD Tool Information Tool
- Skills: PHP / Drupal, HTML, Javascript
- Mentors: Lacey-Anne Sanderson, Amelia Ireland
Description to be added soon.
GMOD Virtual Server Configurator
- Skills: cgi-capable language of your choice (e.g. Perl, PHP, JS), html, javascript
- Mentors: Scott Cain
- Idea: Amelia Ireland, Scott Cain
GMOD virtual servers are preconfigured sets of GMOD components that allow users a quick, easy way to set up a bioinformatics resource for their data. Each tool has configuration options that are currently set using a plain text files. Create a user-friendly configuration client that will allow users to customise components without having to dig into a text editor.
Galaxy CloudMan
- Languages and skills: Pyhton, JavaScript, Backbone, Mako, Bash/Linux, AWS
- Idea: Enis Afgan (afgane AT gmail.com)
- Mentor(s): Enis Afgan (afgane AT gmail DOT com), Dannon Baker (dannon DOT baker AT gmail DOT com)
Galaxy CloudMan (http://usecloudman.org) is a cloud manager that orchestrates all the steps required to provision and manage a set of cloud resources to deliver a functional compute cluster in the cloud. A deployed instance of CloudMan comes preconfigured with the Galaxy application, dozens of bioinformatics tools and gigabytes of genome reference data. The application is used around the world to launch hundreds of clusters per month. The following are suggestions for the student improvements that would help the project grow further (each would be a separate project):
- A new web interface, exposing key application functionality and focusing on scalability and accessibility
- An automated process for deploying/replicating Galaxy on the Cloud across all AWS regions
- Advanced cluster autoscaling (responsive, based on individual cluster's workload, taking advantage of different cloud instance types)
Galaxy Charts and Open Requests
- Languages and skills: Pyhton, JavaScript, Bash/Linux
- Idea: Aysam Guerler (aysam.guerler AT gmail.com)
- Mentor(s): Sam Guerler (aysam DOT guerler AT mail.com)
- Improving Galaxy Charts by e.g. adding new visualizations or options to customize visualizations. This is a very confined project. It has the advantage that the student can (basically) not break code and does not have to grasp Galaxy's inner layers, but still would be able to make a major contribution.
- Something from the Tool requests and Developer ideas lists at Trello although one card may not be enough.
dictyBase: Integration of HTML5 based live content editor
Languages and skills: HTML5, Javascript(angularjs) and CSS(Bootstrap/Pure framework) markup.
Idea: Siddhartha Basu(siddhartha DASH basu AT northwestern DOT edu)
Mentor(s): Siddhartha Basu(siddhartha DASH basu AT northwestern DOT edu), Petra Fey(pfey AT northwestern DOT edu)
dictyBase has quite a lot of static HTML pages(for example the front page) that are handcrafted and maintained by manually editing on the server side. The pages are content heavy, however the manual nature of it makes it incredibly difficult to add new content, integrate third party widgets (such as twitter feed) or do collaborative editing. The proposal is to integrate one of raptor, mercury or bootstrap X-editable client side HTML5 editor to make the content editable right from the browser. The content will be pushed back and forth through a RESTful backend. The project is expected to be split into the following sections...
- Generate a bootstrap(optionally pure framework) based markup of core page structure. This includes header/footers and parts of pages that are not editable.
- Identify the contentblocks and integrate one of the editors (student's choice) to make them editable.
- Use angularjs (restangular prefered) framework to save the edited content to a RESTful backend. The RESTful backend (written in golang) along with HTTP resource specification would be made available (deployable binary) to the student.
- Integrate image inclusion. Could explore angularjs based option such as angular file upload
- Make the editor available only to authorized users. For this, integrate the frontend to our RESTful authentication backend.
WormBase: data visualization
WormBase (www.wormbase.org) is a central data repository supporting the nematode research community.
- Languages and skills: javascript, HTML5, JS graphical library of your choice (eg. d3), some perl
- Mentor(s): Abigail Cabunoc <email@example.com>
There are several areas of improvement for data visualization on the wormbase website. Here are a couple requests we've received from the community, but we are open to other ideas:
- Create a chromosome map tool - allow users to input and visualize the position of genetic loci.
- Original community request: https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/1103
- Create a central dogma view to tie together our gene/protein/sequence pages
- Original community request: https://bitbucket.org/tharris/wormbase/issue/557/add-central-dogma-nav-to-overview

Adjusting to Daylight Savings Time
Are You Up to Date on Your Pap Smear?
Recent changes to Pap guidelines may have you wondering when exactly you need to have a pap smear and in turn, how often you really need an annual exam with your gynecologist. Here I'm going to review the new pap guidelines so you can determine if you are up to date! Of course, every patient should check with their physician about what they recommend regarding the timing of cervical cancer screening because some specific populations may have different recommendations. These are just the general guidelines.
Pap smears are a screening test for cervical cancer. They have helped decrease the incidence of cervical cancer by more than 50% in the last 30 years. Over the last decade we've also begun testing for HPV (or Human Papillomavirus) which is by far the most common cause of abnormal pap smears and cervical cancer. It is an incredibly common sexually transmitted virus that can be spread by genital to genital contact but also oral to genital and manual to genital contact. It has been estimated that 75 to 80 percent of sexually active adults will acquire a genital tract HPV infection before the age of 50. Luckily, most HPV-infected women, especially younger women, will mount an effective immune response to the virus and will never develop dysplasia or cancer.
HPV is not like herpes —YOU CAN GET RID OF IT! The amount of time it takes to get rid of the virus varies but most experts think it takes an average of 8-24 months. Women with persistent HPV infections are more likely to get dysplasia and if it goes undetected or untreated, over time it can develop into cancer. HPV infections of the cervix do not cause symptoms and can only be detected by pap screening. Unfortunately we don't have a cure for HPV, but vaccinations are available and FDA approved for girls and now boys ages 9-26. More on HPV is sure to show up in future blog posts, so stay tuned!
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommends starting pap screening ....
Time Flies (Just Breathe)
It's already February?! If you're feeling stressed with 2012 passing so quickly, re-visiting this post on stress & the importance of breathing might help (originally posted on Parentelligence here).
It's no secret that we're all just a little stressed these days. Between the economy and information overload on the internet, we have all sorts of things to worry about nowadays. Stress and anxiety can cause physical pain, emotional strain, and strain in your relationships. When you're stressed, your body is secreting hormones that put you into that 'fight or flight' state. Long term, this state will wear on your body.
Our children pick up on our heightened state and become stressed and anxious, too.This is not a good state for children to thrive in. We learn best when we're comfortable and relaxed, not if we're nervous and anxious.
Parents need to learn how to regulate their own stress so that we may help our children learn the same coping techniques.
Tips to regulate stress in the immediate moment:

Five Healthy New Year's Resolutions for Men and Women
I'm a family doctor at Swedish's South Lake Union Primary Care Clinic - if you're into new year's resolutions, here are five healthy ones to try:
(Listen to the end for a 'bonus' resolution)
Resuming a Routine (but this one includes lunch)
It's that time of year to get back into your routine. Whether that means packing your child's lunch, preparing your own, or (ah-ha) adopting the concept of this midday meal for the first time, lunch is definitely an exciting and much needed opportunity to refuel your body with the proper nutrients necessary to continue plugging away until evening! (Yeah right, who has time for that meal? Sit tight, future post to come.)
Excuses, excuses…
1. "I don't have time"
You wait in line at Starbucks for your double tall, nonfat, 1.5 pump whatever, right? Then you have time to make lunch. I swear – Google it. Told you – 40.3 million results for "quick healthy lunch" discredits this excuse.
If you don't want to Google a solution, here are some ideas:
Planned-Overs*! Purposefully prepare extra at dinner, and reserve some for tomorrow's lunch. Grilling burgers? Grill up extra patties that you can use for tacos the next day. Salmon? Roast a few extra ounces and save for a salmon salad. Baked chicken? Cut into strips and use in sandwiches, dice and throw in pasta, or add to a can of your favorite soup for a protein boost.
*Word to the wise (or anyone who has experienced food poisoning from improperly handled leftovers): When using leftovers, you need to know the basics of food safety. Keep foods out of the "Danger Zone", which is 40-140F. Bacteria that can make you miserably ill favors this temp range, so keep your hot food hot, and cold foods cold. Never keep perishable foods in the danger zone for longer than 2 hours (1 hour if it's hot outside).
Click here to learn more about food safety, including steps to keeping foods safe, myths, dangerous mistakes, cooking temperatures, recalls and much more.
Don't have leftovers to use? Mix and match from the columns to create numerous quick assemble, healthy lunch options:
Medicine comes in many forms
It's a well known fact that animals can reduce stress, lower blood pressure and promote healing. The Swedish Edmonds Therapy Pups (STP) program, which began in early 2008, has expanded to include more than 10 teams of volunteer handlers and their Pet Partners®. Presently, the teams visit patients on surgery floors, but they can be stopped for a visit any time you see them in the halls. While their primary purpose is to see hospital patients, they often visit patients' family and friends too – and our staff!
So what do handlers and their therapy pups do during a visit? I asked a few of our teams to share their stories. Also, make sure you watch the 'dog cam' below!

By Ray Dyer
Over the past several years, outgoing Superintendent Ranet Tippens was able to help keep El Reno Public Schools' head above water by working to bring in grants. More than $7 million in grants flowed into the district to help fund programs related to health and physical fitness as well as academic areas.
While El Reno schools should continue to pursue grants and other sources of non-traditional funding, it's time for the community to help move our school system to the next level, so to speak. We can take a big step toward this on Tuesday when the $45 million school bond issue will be decided.
From our perspective, this school bond issue is the most complete package we've seen presented to voters. It would maintain the high school's downtown presence, creating a true campus-like setting. The bond package would also address early education needs by building a third- and fourth-grade center adjacent to Roblyer Middle School, which would become a fifth- and sixth-grade center. This would give parents of young children an opportunity to have their child attend school at basically one location from third through the sixth grade.
We believe school and city of El Reno leaders when they say the neighborhoods around Lincoln and Webster will have a say in determining the best use for those properties, scheduled to be taken "off-line" should the bond issue pass.
It makes no sense, again in our opinion, to pump millions of dollars into those outdated buildings when modern schools can be built for basically the same money.
With the average homeowner paying just a little more than $3 per month more in property taxes, this proposed bond issue looks to give citizens a substantial return on their investment.
Tuesday's school bond issue election is vitally important for the future of El Reno. We'll say it again, education and health care drive a community. El Reno, we believe, can and will move to the "next level" if voters approve the bond issue on Tuesday.
Please vote.

text: Did you know that the Hebrew symbol for the number 6 is the same symbol as each line in the Monster Energy drink logo? The three lines that seem to form the letter M are actually 666 translated into Hebrew language. The Biblical number of the beast is 666, so that means 'Monster' is hailing Satan with its logo. Also, check out that it says "unleash the Beast" on the can. Is that a coincidence? What do you think?

Full Service Website Management: Vazkor Technologies has been helping companies with the Internet side of their business for over four years. It takes more than putting together a website. A wide range of resources are available to assist with the design and layout of a website, but that's only a small portion of what it takes to make a website work.
The Website: Always be suspicious of anyone who claims to be able to handle all aspects of a Website design and development. Most development firms specialize in one area, such as graphics, scripting, database, telecom, etc. At VAZKOR Technologies we recognize that putting together a Website is like producing a movie. For a box-office smash, you need the best actors, writers, cinematographers, directors, etc. A Website is no different. You need the best graphics, database experts, scripters, and marketers. Our staff has been participating in Internet Development for several years, but as a company we have learned about Internet Success. It is our experience and contacts that allow us to put together a stellar business solution on a tight budget. Give us a call at 561-357-9029 to find out more.
The Hardware: Virtual hosting? Co-location? Dedicated Servers? Whats all that? Good question and one could write a book on the answers. There is almost an infinite amount of platform configurations you can undertake for your Internet business, but making the wrong choice can be expensive or even disastrous. We know what you need, and where to go to get it.
Email: What about all of those emails you need to send to your customers. What is considered spam? Who regulates it? How do you configure your server to optimize the amount of emails you send? How do you set up email for your company and when do you need to have your own server to host it.
Information: All of that hard work to get the people to come to your site and you dont know where they came from, who they are, or what they want. What kind of information should you get; how do you get it; and how can you use it to your advantage? Dont get us started
Marketing: Most people think they can pay a little for some advertising and watch the traffic role in. Well, they are half-right. You dont have to break the bank to get people to come see your site and the answer isnt in submitting to all of the search engines (although it is important and a service we of course provide). Sometimes paying for clicks is a necessary part of the equation, but other times you can accomplish more with barter deals, customized submissions, and hard work.
Commerce: How do you get that little lock in the bottom corner? How do you process credit-cards? Can your website tie into your warehouse system? Probably! But we need to talk to you to find out more. Call us at 561-357-9029.
The Rest: Privacy Policy; Disclaimers; Legal Issues; Unsubscribing; and More. All smaller details but details that need to get done and should never be missed.

A designer diary for Frozen Reaches, a Rogue Trader adventure |
Rogue Trader | Published 30 December 2010 |
Hello Rogue Traders!
This week I'd like to take a moment to talk about the recently released adventure for Rogue Trader, The Frozen Reaches.
The Frozen Reaches is the first of a three-part adventure series—The Warpstorm Trilogy. As befits a game like Rogue Trader, The Warpstorm Trilogy is an epic series of adventures that sees Rogue Traders and their crews undertaking actions that have dire ramifications for the Koronus Expanse and all who live there.
The adventure begins on the prosperous world of Damaris, a rare gem of civilization amongst the Expanse's wilderness. A flourishing colony world with strong ties to the Imperium, Damaris falls under the threat of invasion from a massive Ork fleet. With their own planetary defence forces insufficient to defeat the threat, Damaris calls for aid from Rogue Traders and others across the Expanse. Should the Explorers answer the call, they will need to take command of the disparate defenders and lead them to victory, while ensuring a rich return on investment.
The Frozen Reaches illustrates many different aspects of a Rogue Trader game, but two primary focuses are diplomacy and leadership. In this adventure, the Explorers are the equals of each other major player on Damaris. They shouldn't expect to show up in orbit and receive clear and unequivocal orders telling them what to do. Instead, they'll be confronted by squabbling factions driven by rivalry and conflicting goals. If Damaris is to have any chance of success, the Explorers are going to have to broker deals, play the peacemaker, and likely assume a leadership role in the planet's defence.
As the adventure continues, the Explorers may well find themselves in command of an entire planet's defensive forces, required to deploy and lead them in battle against the Ork menace. Again, the Explorers are the ones in charge, and it'll ultimately be up to them whether Damaris lives or dies. Their actions determine whether they'll be known as heroes, the saviors of Damaris, or if they'll slink into the void, their holds loaded with a doomed planet's spoils as the world burns behind them.
Of course, even if they manage to wipe out the Ork threat, that's by no means the end of the adventure. In the final act, new allies and enemies reveal themselves, setting the stage for Part II, the Citadel of Skulls.
Aids to Profit
As an addition to this designer diary, we'd like to provide some additional downloads.
First are the Expanded Origin Path (pdf, 392 KB) and Ship and Warrant Path (pdf, 380 KB) from Into the Storm, provided as a pdf for easy use and printout. In addition, you'll find The Frozen Reach's Achievement Point Tracker (pdf, 300 KB), a useful tool for determining the success of this endeavor.
And tune in next time, when we discuss the next exciting supplement coming out for Rogue Trader, Battlefleet Koronus!
Rogue Trader is a roleplaying game set in dark gothic far future of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe. Players take on the roles of explorers aboard a Rogue Trader's ship, searching for profit and adventure while discovering new alien cultures and threats in the uncharted regions of space.
Really looking forward to buying this and Battlefleet Koronus in the near future. After nearly 3 decades of computer RPGs, Rogue Trader is actually my first concerted foray into pen and paper RPGs. I have been really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials. It's a great product and hope it has a really long life. Keep up the good work.
Wow, additional content! Thanx, guys! Oh, and I got my "Frozen Reaches" thru amazon today. Finally! It's so much fun to read! Great work!
I'm VERY pleased you like my work. Always makes me feel good knowing it's well-received. Jason Marker, Sam Stewart, and myself (along with a great team of people) all worked very hard on this first installment of the Warpstorm Trilogy. Thanks for the feedback.
- Benn "Arkangel" Williams
This is shaping up to be my favorite adventure yet for the 40K games. I think it could easily be modified for use with Deathwatch or Dark Heresy.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Larger picture please. :)
Is there any chance of getting the pick of the ship in the ice field as card sleeves? Or wallpaper? That is an awesome picture.
