This is a paper I've been waiting for: the analysis of the HeLa genome. I was aware of a lot of issues with the cell lines and missing or duplicated regions from the ENCODE data that was coming along some time ago: Mining the "big data" is…fascinating. And necessary.
People may be familiar with HeLa cells even if they aren't in biomedical research because of the great book by Rebecca Skloot: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks which explored the history of these cells and the woman whose terrible cancer led to their existence.
But there were many discussions over the years about how different these cells are from actual tissues, and concerns over how representative they are for actual human research issues. Here are some:

So a new paper has been published that explores this–and it's at the top of my reading list for later today.
Here's the paper itself: http://www.g3journal.org/content/early/2013/03/11/g3.113.005777.abstract

Of downtown Boston, at Tufts Medical Center, singing the praises of IMG and the Integrated Microbial Genomes resources.
I love workshops that only require a trip on the Orange Line.
Today we were doing the World Tour of Genomics Resources. Tomorrow it is UCSC Genome Browser (intro + advanced), and Thursday ENCODE. So if you want to workshop vicariously you can check out all of our tutorials on those. The slides, handouts, and exercises are all over there for you to download if you'd like.
As much as I love the online training and webinars and all, you really do get important information about the needs of folks in the room that you just don't really get from the intertubz, and I do like to do the material live.

In hunting for something to feature for this week's tip, I noticed that Nucleic Acids Research had released their 2012 Web Server Issue back in July. As many of you are might be aware, the Nucleic Acids Research journal is a forum where developers can present computational biology papers that describe the development of biologically relevant algorithms, novel usage of existing algorithms, or that report the development of biological databases & their usage. The web server issue is an annual special issue focused specifically on web-based software resources for analysis and visualization of molecular biology data.
This year marks their 10th web server issue & I decided to check it out. In order to devote full attention to the issue, I began by pouring myself a big cup of coffee in one of my favorite mugs, which somehow makes it taste better. Then I set out to enjoy the issue – every year I always begin by reading the opening editorial & then the article on the bioinformatics links directory. The editorial usually explains special emphasis for the issue (this year it is analysis of next-generation sequencing data), and is written by the executive editor of the issue, Gary Benson. For me, the editorial sets the tone of the issue, so to speak.
Next I consume the directory article, along with a couple of sips of my java. What interests me in the article is multifold. First is the discussion of trends that they see in the development of tools and resources, which is important for us here at OpenHelix. Figure 6 provides an interesting look at the categories and counts of resources from each annual issue – I am curious as to why all but one category decline in 2008. Table 1 also provides interesting data on tool trends.
I am also interested in the content of the list itself – it is a great list being developed by people that we have a lot of respect for. I was especially interested in this sentence from their article:
"The Bioinformatics Links Directory has also initiated active curation of its content, removing dead content and correcting content errors, which has resulted in more accurate although occasionally smaller counts for 2012."
The emphasis is mine in the quote above. In my opinion this is a very important aspect of any list. If you remember, Mary posted on the idea of "Obituaries for bioinformatics tools." and started a BioStar post to collect this information. The BioStar post generated significant comment & looks like it may have helped inspire the Bioinformatics Links Directory team, from the comments. But it makes sense that you need not just collect information but to continue to maintain and filter that data so that it remains relevant – I mean if the forest is cluttered with dead wood, the useful "live trees" (ok, resources) are obscured from users, right?
The problem is that keeping any list (or documentation or tutorials, etc.) up-to-date is a hard, labor intensive activity. Here at OpenHelix we also keep a list of biology-relevant resources that can be searched through for free, without registering, from our homepage. We currently have a summer intern culling through a list of over 5,000 resources and tools that we know of. She is eliminating duplicate entries in our database by finding and collecting alternative URLs – it is amazing how many resources have multiple entryways, each with their own URL. But different doors don't make a different resource or utility so we eliminate them form our list. Then we will tackle the dead resources, the listings that just go to a tiny tool internal to a main resource, or to a pre-formatted PubMed search for something.
Creating AND maintaining a high quality list is not a trivial effort. In their paper the Bioinformatics Links Directory team describes remaining current as a "future challenge" and says:
"Although necessary to remain current and to advance the utility of the Bioinformatics Links Directory, these improvements will only prove useful if driven by the community. As a community-driven repository, everyone in the research or bioinformatics community has the opportunity to help make the collection better and more meaningful. "
I truly wish them better luck at "community curation" than many resources have had in the past, & hope they succeed. In our experience it works best with stable, sufficient funding because as they say: "you get what you pay for".
OK, next post will be on actual resources in the web server issue, I promise!

Over the weekend we saw a nice bit of new readership based on a blog post at Homologus. It's a list of reads that can be helpful in keeping current in various topics in bioinformatics and genomics. Have a look–and include them in your reading as well!
Some of it overlaps with Stephen Turner's recent post that was also popular (How to Stay Current in Bioinformatics/Genomics ), but it's got some differences as well. Have a look.
In a fast-moving field, some of the best stuff is really on the blogs, forums, and other social media outlets. You really need to be connected. And I would say that bioinformatics geeks are particularly strong at some of this. They are always on their computers near twitter–and there are good papers, software tools, conferences, workshops, new features in existing software, downtime issues, and more–all being put out to the ethers by really smart and connected people who recognize quality (and sometimes mock items of lower quality in amusing ways). Some time ago I did a post on how to use Twitter in Bioinformatics if you aren't there yet. The software interface has changed a bit but the basic features are the same.
Anyway–have a look and add some new blogs to your RSS feed or your regular route.
I'm not sure any more when I signed up for complementary copies of Nature Methods, but just like clockwork my copy arrives each month. If you'd like to get it too, you can apply for a subscription here (Firefox seems to work better than IE, btw). This month's issue particularly interested me because it contains a focus on Bioimage Informatics. The focus appears to be free to read online.
I found the focus just after having read the Science News article "Blast Injuries Linked to Neurodegeneration in Veterans" by Greg Miller. In Greg's piece there is a description of a distinctive neuropathology that has been seen in athletes and military veterans who had incurred head injuries. This same distinctive pattern is seen in a mouse model of blast injury & the image of the tangles of tau protein shown in the article struck me as so interesting that I told my husband about it over dinner one night, so I already had bioimages on my mind. I am also always interested in the field of bioinformatics, both personally and as a member of the OpenHelix team.
The commentaries, in the order that they were printed, were what I read initially. The first commentary is by Gene Myers, who was also involved in early genome bioinformatics, and it provided a very interesting perspective on both the current state of bioimage informatics and on the historic use of bioimages in systems genetics.The following quote made me grin:
"The field is still in its early days, and there is no such thing as a typical bioimage informatician: they are either computer vision experts looking for new problems, classic sequence-based bioinformaticians looking for the new thing or physicists and molecular biologists whose experiments require them to bite the informatics bullet. … From my perspective, it is very reminiscent of the state of bioinformatics in the early 1980s: the exciting, somewhat chaotic free-for-all that is potentially the birth of something new."
And the following paragraph stressing the importance of "due diligence of pilot studies" and "optimized protocols" reminded me of my days setting up a Biocore facility without enough funding for either sufficient pilot studies or optimization, which ultimately doomed the utility of the machine to my advisor and department alike. This commentary set the stage well for the rest of the articles. The other commentaries included a description of the difference in goals of the computer vision field and the bioimage informatics field, a plea for usability to be built into bioimaging software, and a historical commentary on the 25 years of NIH Image, now ImageJ.
The usability article sounded many many of the same cries that we make here at OpenHelix – if you want to have usable bioscience software that IS in fact USED, at a minimum you must 1) have funding and a mandate to maintain it over the long run, 2) have motivated developers that are responsive to their users needs and feedback, including fixing bugs and 3) (last but absolutely not least) you must provide awareness and training on your software. And in my opinion, any old training WON"T due – it has to be high quality, up-to-date, and easier to use & absorb than your average dry documentation on programming your VCR clock (OK, I'm dating myself there, but you KNOW what I mean…) I like their suggestion that funding agencies request descriptions of how the software be maintained and documented, and to be prepared to provide funding not just for development, but also for maintenance. (Why reinvent the wheel over & over, just to let each one go flat with disrepair?)
There were also reports on specific software, such as OMERO.searcher, SimuCell, PhenoRipper, Fiji, BioImageXD, and Icy, as well as on the Broad Bioimage Benchmark Collection (BBBC), a collection of microscopy image sets available for the testing and validation of new image-analysis algorithms.
The focus then concludes with a great review of bioimaging software tools, with the goal of providing a "how to" summary of using open-source imaging software for every stage of bioimage informatics. It begins with a discussion of data aquisition & continues through data storage and workflow systems. I might tweek figure one just a bit, but it does visualize that today software is required at every stage of image analysis – from automated image attainment to image retrieval and analysis. The authors also touch on the importance of image annotation and controlled vocabularies, or ontologies. Table 1 provides a nice resource listing including software names, primary function and URL – I have some new resources to check out now!
Overall, I'd suggest this focus on bioimage informatics to any life scientist, whether you are analyzing images today or not – I think it is provides a glimpse into an up&coming, exciting field.

CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA – JULY 2012: Established in 1974 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library (NCSML) quickly became a focus of cultural life in east-central Iowa and a tourist destination for travelers both national and international. A series of expansion projects led to a new building dedicated in 1995 by then-US president Bill Clinton, Czech Republic president Václav Havel, and Slovakia president Michal Kovác. A devastating flood in 2008 damaged over $8 million of museum and library collections and caused insurers to balk at the idea of covering the museum for fear the Cedar River would flood again. In an epic, but ultimately cost-effective solution, the NCSML moved its building to higher ground and simultaneously expanded to over 50,000 square feet. The NCSML recently reopened with an inviting gift shop designed to send visitors home with items that will advertise the museum while raising funds at the same time. As part of the gift shop's casual vibe, a page-ducking sound system powered by an Ashly TM-360 public address mixer/amplifier plays music and sounds from multiple sources.
"The building's renovated and expanded sound system was designed almost two years ago by David Walters of Diversified Design Group Inc., in Lincoln, Nebraska," explained Marvin Smejkal, principal of local A/V integrator Sound Concepts Inc., and an NCSML board member. "The location of the amp for the gift shop would be clearly visible to visitors. The Ashly TM-360 didn't exist at that time, but in preparing to install the system it was clear that the TM-360 was a more visually appealing solution than the piece that was specified. Beyond that, it was easy to use, flexible enough to allow ducking for museum-wide pages, and affordably priced."
The Ashly TM-360 mixes three input channels to a monaural, 60-watt output. The input options are mic/line-level, two mono/stereo line-level or telephone. Phantom power is available on the mic input. A block of easy-to-use dip switches on the back of the unit configures it for priority ducking. An optional 400Hz low-cut filter is offered for paging horn installations. Output options are 4 ohm, 8 ohm, 25V, or 70V. Front panel controls adjust volume on all three input channels, as well as master volume, bass and treble EQs. Inputs to the modest system include a Denon CD/iPod deck, a Sony DVD player, and the museum-wide paging output. The TM-360 is configured so that both the music and DVD outputs duck for pages. Standard commercial eight-inch ceiling-mounted loudspeakers complete the system.
ABOUT ASHLY AUDIO Ashly Audio Inc. is recognized as a world leader in the design and manufacturing of high quality & high performance signal processing equipment and power amplification for use in the commercial sound contracting and professional audio markets. The 37-year old company is headquartered in Webster, New York U.S.A.

Metaphysical-World -( Part 3 ): The Carbon Atom, Vortex Math, and the Scarab Beetle
Poster Handle
Post Content
Rev 13.1
Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
The 'beast' rising out of the sea here, is METHANE gas.
Animals, including humans, and plants are carboniferous
(made of carbon). Carbon dioxide gas is the product of both exhalation and burning fuels.
Each molecule of carbon dioxide contains one atom of carbon and two of oxygen, and has a mass (molecular) of 44 - a correspondence with (2 x pi / 7) and the autosomes of the human cell. Why, then, was 666 or carbon written by St. John in Revelation to be the Beast? Billions of tons of carbon dioxide billow excessively into our atmosphere due to the burning of fuels such as petrol and domestic gas.
This could insulate the Earth and cause the "greenhouse" effect.
However, according to ITV Channel 4 program "Global Warming", transmitted during June 2001, experiments taking
place in the Amazon show that its forests are acting as a sink for excessive amounts of carbon dioxide by absorption through their leaves. As a result the air temperature is maintained and prevented from rising, and the trees grow steadily higher. Any great shortage of water will eventually cause some of the trees to die, and dry out in the intense heat from the sun producing tinder and fuel for future forest fires. Everywhere over the globe, organic matter from decaying fallen leaves and plant material is continuously washed from the land by rain into streams, rivers and eventually the seas.
In the depths of the oceans, it decomposes into methane gas.
The immense pressure of the water above prevents the gas from bubbling upwards and converts it into clumps of
methane hydrate solids where they are contained by the very cold conditions at the seabed.
There are signs of global warming because ice at the poles is melting. If the seas warm up by 80C higher than "normal", then the methane hydrates will release bubbles of methane gas and the seas will appear to be boiling.
Under this circumstance the Earth would become additionally insulated, global warming would increase, and the temperature would rise alarmingly.
And the hot air would now convert the methane gas into carbon dioxide.
Chapter 13 of Revelation in the Bible prophesises a future apocalypse and global destruction, tells of a beast
with seven heads that rises from the sea."

Need to convert a seven seater minivan into an eight seater
Please help me! I need to convert my seven seater 2000 Ford Windstar minivan from a seven seater to an eight seater. I cannot afford to buyy a new car! if anyone knows of any model bench I can use to change the middle bench from seating 2 to seating 3 I will be forever indebted. Thank You.
Is your third seat a three-seater? In your model, is it possible to put your third seat in the second row in place of the bench or captains' chairs? If so, you can do theat and buy a used third row seat from a salvage yard. www.car-parts.com has a great search feature, be sure to find out which years have exactly the smae seat as yours and put in those years as well.
I wish my Toyota Sienna thrid seat could fit the anchors for the second row, I would do this. I also want to make mine into an eight-seater but have not found a way yet.

Perverse, obscene and deeply offensive. That's no overstatement when describing Cruel Intentions, the fourth screen adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Pierre Laclos' novel of sexual skulduggery. But this version is especially irresponsible. By casting young stars from TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek, this sleazy remake is clearly targeted at teens.
Young viewers are introduced to Sebastian and his stepsister Kathryn, soulless, spoiled rich kids with an insatiable appetite for sex and ruining people's lives. She wagers that Sebastian can't bed the virginal Annette, a Christian girl vocal in her support of abstinence (sadly, he wins the bet).
Meanwhile, Kathryn introduces innocent Cecile to erotic encounters, starting with a lesbian kiss and ending with an impassive Sebastian tutoring Cecile on oral sex and intercourse. There's also a thread of deceit spun by a gay teen who speaks frankly about his sexual past and is shown in bed with another man.
Obscenities are harsh and frequent—particularly the f-word and abuses of Jesus' name. Disrespect for Christianity also extends to Annette's faith being mocked and Kathryn snorting coke from a cross she wears.
A few principled notes (Sebastian literally laying down his life for Annette, or Kathryn's guile being exposed and reviled) are all but drowned out by the rest of this lurid symphony. Cruel counsel such as "Practice makes perfect. My advice would be to sleep with as many people as possible" is unhealthy and immoral. Don't let these young schemers seduce teens.

Patience my tinsel angels!,
This review is from: Happiness Is The Road (Audio CD)
I was not surprised when observing the hugely diverse opinions on previous reviews of this album; such a complex and lengthy offering is bound to produce differing views.
Those seeking immediate gratification and don't possess the patience and/or time to invest in one (albeit double) album should indeed seek their fixes elsewhere.
This may be one of Marillion's less immediate albums, however paying it a little respect and understanding is richly rewarding; this is simply a truly great album bursting with emotion, colour and texture that delivers completely. Free from the shackles of normal record label pressures and early career egos, Marillion executed a concept and delivery here that is near flawless and showcases a band at the top of their game; confident, talented, yet very eager to please. All the more remarkable bearing in mind that the quality control was spot on for the entire length of both CDs included on the complete release.
I've been a fan since the early Fish years but am not opposed to criticising their output when justified ('Somewhere Else' was highly forgettable and despite repeated listening their latest release 'Sounds that can't be Made' is patchy at best); however Happiness is the Road sits comfortably alongside Misplaced Childhood and Marbles as the finest, most cohesive works of their career.

Outside of Claude Lemieux, they had likable players. I grew up watching them since they moved from Colorado.
There was a time when they had good announcers, a good PA announcer and played good music at the arena.
Besides, if you guy's think this is a sad end to a depressing roller-coaster ride, just ask some of the senior Devils fans how they felt after 1988, 1994 and 2001.
We've all been through it as sports fans. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap and respect, maybe even admire what other teams do -- even if they do it against your own.
For me, they are our main rival. Its just like how I hate the Sox being a Yanks fan....how I hate the Cowboys and Eagles being a Giants fan. Alot of older Rangers fans hate the Isles because of the fierce rivalry in the 70s/80s....I wasnt around for that. The Devils have been our main competition since I've been a fan. 92, 94, 97, 06, 08 and 12...six playoff series. Then there's them winning three Cups in our backyard while we embarassed ourselves for eight years. They had some ridiculous record against us during that stretch of time too.

First Openly Gay Man Confirmed by Senate for Seat on Article III Court
July 19, 2011
In an 80-13 vote last night, the U.S. Senate confirmed Paul Oetken to serve as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Mr. Oetken is considered the first openly gay man to be confirmed by the Senate for a seat on an Article III court.
HRC has advocated for Mr. Oetken's confirmation since his nomination, including a letter of support from January of this year.
Judge Deborah Batts, who currently sits on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, is considered the first openly gay woman to be confirmed for a seat on an Article III court. She was appointed to the bench during the Clinton Administration.
Prior to Mr. Oetken's confirmation, Batts was considered the only LGBT individual serving openly on an Article III court. Now, the Southern District of New York will have the only two openly-gay Article III judges in the nation.

Expatriates Car Insurance
Expatriates Car Insurance
Click through on the Get a Quote button above to compare expat car insurance quotes from over 100 of the leading UK motor insurers, and obtain the most suitable fully featured cover and protection you require. The Quotezone click and compare service is entirely free to use. It is a totally independent and impartial insurance comparison site, already helping over 1 million drivers across the UK to get the best deal.
Competitive high quality loss/damage motor insurance to individuals and organisation's of any nationality living or working outside their country of origin. If you live or work abroad your motor vehicle can be your most important asset. It can often be the case that many expats find it difficult to find satisfactory expatriate motor insurance, with some putting their vehicle and livelihood at risk by under-insuring.
If you plan to own and/or run a vehicle internationally you will need to purchase Comprehensive, Collision and Liability coverage. As requirements vary from country to country, it is important to determine the exact requirements pertaining to the country where you are resident/visiting.
You might already know that the majority of mainstream UK car insurers will not insure their customers if they are abroad for more than 30 days. If they do, it will probably be for personal use only. A specialist international car insurance policy is designed to protect the needs and requirements of UK residents who find themselves overseas in a variety of capacities:
Expat motor insurance premiums are nearly always calculated on an individual basis. This allows the best insurers and providers to accurately reflect the level of protection you require, helping to keep your premiums low without sacrificing the quality of your cover.
