Immunization : Measles, Mumps and Rubella MMR Vaccine
Vaccines (or needles or baby shots) are the best way to protect against some very serious infections. The Canadian Paediatric Society and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization strongly recommend routine immunization.
The MMR vaccine is a three-in-one needle that protects against measles, mumps and rubella (German measles). It should be given to children soon after their first birthday. A second dose is given in combination with varicella (chicken pox), as MMRV (a four-in-one needle) at 4-6 years of age. Vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella is required by law for all children attending school in Ontario (unless exempted).
This vaccine should also be given to adults who are not protected against measles, mumps or rubella. Pregnant women who have been told that they are not protected against rubella, should receive MMR vaccine as soon as they are no longer pregnant.
Measles is a serious infection. It causes high fever, cough, rash, runny nose and watery eyes. Measles lasts for one to two weeks. It can be complicated by ear infections or pneumonia in one out of every 10 children with measles. Measles can also be complicated by encephalitis, an infection of the brain, in about one out of every 1,000 children with measles. This may cause brain damage. Measles causes death in one in about 3,000 cases. In very rare cases, measles is complicated by a disease called
Measles is a highly contagious virus that lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person. It can spread to others through coughing and sneezing. Also, measles virus can live for up to two hours on a surface or in an airspace where the infected person coughed or sneezed. If other people breathe the contaminated air or touch the infected surface, then touch their eyes, noses, or mouths, they can become infected.
Mumps can cause fever, headaches and swelling of the cheeks and jaw. The swelling is caused by an infection of the salivary glands. Mumps can cause meningitis, an infection of the fluid and lining covering the brain and spinal cord.About one in every 10 people with mumps gets meningitis. Mumps can cause deafness in some persons.
Mumps can cause very painful, swollen testicles in about one out of four teenage boys or adult men. This may rarely cause sterility. Mumps can cause a painful infection of the ovaries in one out of 20 women. Mumps infection during the first three months of pregnancy may increase the risk of miscarriage. People can get mumps from an infected person coughing or sneezing around them or simply talking to them. It can also be spread through contact with the saliva of an infected person.
Rubella (German Measles)
Rubella is very dangerous in pregnant women. If a woman gets rubella in the early part of a pregnancy, it is very likely that her baby will die or be severely disabled. The most common disabilities are blindness, deafness, mental disability and heart defects.
Rubella is usually a mild illness in children; up to half of the infections with rubella occur without a rash. The disease can be more severe in older children and adults, especially women. Rubella may cause fever, sore throat, swollen glands in the neck and a rash on the face and neck. Temporary aches and pains and swelling of the joints are common in adolescents and adults, especially females. Rubella can be followed by chronic arthritis. It can also cause temporary blood clotting problems and encephalitis (swelling of the brain).
Rubella spreads by contact with an infected person through coughing, sneezing or talking to them. It can also be spread by contact with the saliva of infected people.
How well does MMR vaccine protect against measles, mumps and rubella?
The efficacy of a single dose of measles-containing vaccine given at 12 or 15 months of age is estimated to be 85% to 95%. With a second dose, efficacy in children approaches 100%. Protection from measles, mumps and rubella after getting the vaccine is life-long. The vaccine protects about 95 per cent of people against mumps and about 98 per cent of people against rubella. Vaccination also makes these diseases milder for those who may catch them.
Is the MMR vaccine safe?
The MMR vaccine is very safe and effective. Most individuals will have no reaction. The vaccine can cause a general feeling of being unwell and fever in some children six to 23 days after MMR immunization (with or without rash) lasting up to 3 days. Allergic reactions to the MMR vaccine are very rare.
The mumps part of the vaccine may cause fever and swelling of the glands in the neck. Meningitis (an infection of the fluid and lining covering the spinal cord) may occur very rarely, in one in 800,000 people who get the vaccine. The meningitis caused by mumps vaccine is mild, and permanent brain damage does not occur.
The rubella part of the vaccine may cause a mild fever, rash or swelling of the glands in the neck in one out of seven children. This usually happens 6 to 10 days after getting the shot and lasts for one to 2 days. Less than one in 200 children may develop swelling and pain in some joints after the vaccine. Up to one in four teenage girls and adult women may get painful swelling of some joints within one to three weeks after vaccination. The joint pain and swelling usually lasts only a few days. Very rarely, chronic arthritis may occur.
People who have problems with their immune system should speak with their health care provider to determine when MMR vaccine should be given. As well, women should not be vaccinated if they are pregnant and should not become pregnant within 4 weeks after getting the MMR vaccine.
The vaccine is safe for household members of people with immune system problems and household members of pregnant women. Breastfeeding women can receive the MMR vaccine.
There is no evidence that the MMR vaccine causes autism.
Speak with your health care provider or local public health unit about the benefits and risks of the vaccine, as well as the risks of not getting vaccinated.
Who should not have MMR vaccine?
There are some groups who should generally not be given the vaccine such as, but not limited to:
- Individuals who are pregnant (Women of childbearing age should be advised to avoid pregnancy for at least 1 month following immunization with MMR vaccine)
- Individuals who have a history of anaphylaxis after previous administration of the product (or components of the vaccine)
- Those who have medical conditions that may be contraindicated (for example, individuals with history of convulsions, certain immunosuppressant medications, congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency)
If you think that you or your child is in any of these groups, please talk to your doctor or public health unit.
The MMR vaccine may be given to people who are allergic to eggs even if they have hives, wheezing, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or mouth after eating eggs, as long as they are observed after the vaccine for signs of a reaction.
Who should I talk to if I have any questions?
Talk to your doctor or call your local public health unit.
Your record of protection
After you or your child receives any immunization, make sure the doctor updates the personal immunization record, such as the "Yellow Card". You will need to provide this information to your local health unit when your child enters school and as they get additional immunizations. Keep your records in a safe place !

About Bill Jackson
There needs to be a balance between the weakness of right winger politicians to keep wages balanced and give cost of living adjustments(COLA) + 2-3% real wage increases (RWI). Some of them are left wing and willingly give COLA + RWI of 2-3% annually. So if you give unionists COLA and RWI of 4-5% annually you have a mechanism to ramp ahead of the rest of us and automatic inflation.
See what this did to Detroit in the USA and to the American auto unions. It gave a gift of all those autoworkers jobs to the Japanese and Koreans who built roll-on-roll-off (RORO) cargo ships so the old time high freight time and damage costs of importing cars from Japan and Korea were dramatically reduced.
These unions lost 90% of their jobs through greed and look where Detroit is now.
The truth is, you can not give one side all the $$, be they union or management. A balance must be struck. What good is it if the company goes broke and the high wages the union wanted are now gone.
Here in Canada an ex-union member is almost unemployable because if he is on strike, and working for pocket money the company know that if he is recalled he will not show up for work the next day = zero notice to the company that hired him. So reference are checked with care, great care.
Metal and coal prices vary greatly. When metal prices fell, there were no super profits any more = so why tax them.
A mine is not like a factory. Most mines are good for 10-15 years and are then exhausted. (a rare few last a long time indeed). Coal is common, so when people dig too much the prices fall - as we have seen.
What is needed is a way to reduce wages when prices drop and increase them in super profit times. That would allow mines to make money when prices drop instead of closing the mine = zero wages or sales.
Too many left wing miners think money grow from the ground, and too many right wing mine owners want miners to eat coal dust. A middle ground where both live and the money is shared, but this would need statesmen current pols in all countries are just greedy grabbers, like most mine operators as well as mine workers.
You need a steady 20-30 years of reasonable wages all the time, in places of high wages- Laid off - high wages - laid off repeat until you die.
Make enough enemies and they may just gang up on you.
It does not look good for him.
Why not allow the indiginous people grant mining/exploration permits for a set fee, with a set % interest as a royalty for anything found on their lands?
True, we run "popularity contests". The capability to manage public affairs is never shown to be present at all.
I seem to recall the Mandarins in China in olden times, had examinations for the civil service.
I wonder how the subject of testable qualifications being required before you are nominated passes muster?
Also secret ballot, not a public show of hands. The show of hands allows bribers to observe bribees earn their bribe.
US Congress and all elected officials need secret ballot.
Obviously, tracks ate to be covered and any data release must be unfindably anonymous, so the shit hits the fan AND none gets on you...
Yes, trapped in an untenable position they MUST try to win by Force Majeure...
Any recall provisions in Australian law? If there are, this guy and his lackies are faie meat for the process.
And finds that his strong arm past suits politics quite well, but the underlying moral base persists.
Why do people elect these thugs? Because the barnyard pecking order parrallels the political pecking order.
The ag can't even mumble straight, let alone shoot.
The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight?
Alive and well down under...
Unless they get a pet judge, the judge will crucify them. I suspect all this hemming and hawing is to try and line up some sort of charge sheet that will syand up to scrutiny.
They should give it up as a bad job, and dialog with anonymous to settle the underlying flaws - or they will die the death of 1000 bites.
Friends I know make quite a bit more than $9 per hour. What does a tax driver make when he has no fares? He has still paid his medallion rental, PLUS all the other costs you mention as car owner.
Low earners should quit driving Uber or driving cab...
both take some sort of skill in maximizing revenues./
yes, teh glut after WW2 created a distortion and regulation occurred.
Now the pot is so at that medallions sell for $250,000 or more.
For some reason, my submissions with links in them were moderated off the blog???
search this
San Diego deregulates controversial cab industry to boost fairness, opportunity
and this
international taxi workers alliance and choose Minneapolis.
Yes, the medallion owners force the cabbies to stage these demonstrations. It is true that more cabbies would own and drive cabs once deregulated.
Who needs Uber with free cabbies and an app on a phone. Dial-ins could also be linked to the phones of the drivers via some simple script that made the need known - whence 10 cars would try for it..a need for some sort of central dispatcher of a robotic kind, based on who is available, where the ride is = it picks the closest or the next to share a ride in close proximity situations.
Would more drivers lead to hundreds of unused cabs waiting for rides? Apparently that is what led to medallions with thousands of unemployed WW2 soldiers released in a very short time with no job, but they could drive and they bought junkers. Now the requirement for a car under 7 years old will keep the junkers oyut.
I do not want these new fangled horseless carriages taking passengers away from me and Betsy(my horse).
Their smoke fills the air, and they leave nothing for the gardens and sparrows, and in the wintertime youg boys love the frozen amber globes...
http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/10/taxi-cap-limit-lift-medal lion-cab-regulate/
I posted links to Sandiego and Minneapolis changes
LOL, polar opposed POV. The taxi drivers would love to get rid of medallions, as long as they were allowed to drive and use apps for rides, like UBER. UBER has cut the phone - radio link out of the loop and that was the strangle hold the medallion owners and radio systems had on the true drivers. A few drivers own medallions, but are still prey to the radio rip-off.
In effect the cab drivers are proxies for medallion owners.
Medallions cam out of the huge number of soldiers released from the armed forces who know how to drive, Prior to WW2, few people could drive - except tractors.
All these farm boy with a $50 depression wreck became free taxi drivers. Fights over fares emerged when one guy hailed a cab, but refused because it was dirty etc, and took another.
Out of this glut of drivers emerged taxi limitation laws and the medallion system. They failed to keep the city the owner of the medallions and prices rose.
How soon before goon tactics begin?
They also Fart at the Man in the Moon - with similar effect - the moon orbits inexorably on...

by Davis, William
Publisher:Stackpole Books
From the very first pages of this book, it's clear that historian William C. Davis is ready to deliver a gripping account of the first battle of the Civil War. He describes a female spy traveling with stolen information from Washington, D.C., to Confederate headquarters in Fairfax Court House, Virginia: "The whole scene so reeked of penny romance that it bordered on the ludicrous." Maybe so, but it's also real history, and Davis understands what many academic historians do not: a good history book needs to tell good stories. Davis has written many outstanding books on the Civil War era, and Battle at Bull Run is one of his earliest. It's also one of his best, and is perhaps the finest book available on how the Union's haughty overconfidence crumbled against Southern determination in a single afternoon. Confederate General Thomas Jackson earned his immortal nickname, "Stonewall," on that day, and the soldiers who fought under him showed the North that its cry "On to Richmond!" was a hollow one. Much of the book focuses on events leading up to the actual battle--how the two armies were hastily assembled, how each side found its leaders, and so on. This is a familiar tale, but probably never has been told as well as it is on these pages. --John J. Miller

Medieval schools
Education, school life, and the founding of Oxford University.
Medieval Schools & Universities
There were many different kinds of schools in medieval England\, though few children received their sometimes dubious benefit. There were small, informal schools held in the parish church, song schools at cathedrals, almonry schools attached to monasteries, chantry schools, guild schools, preparatory grammar schools, and full grammar schools. The curriculum of theses schools was limited to basics such as learning the alphabet, psalters, and religious rites and lessons such as the Ten Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins. The grammar schools added to this Latin grammar, composition, and translation.
In addition to the schools listed above there were also privately endowed schools like Winchester and Eton. The most famous public school, Eton, was founded by Henry VI in 1440.
The term "public school" can be misleading. It refers to the fact that the school drew its students from all over the country rather than just the local area. In reality "public schools" are anything but public. They were, and still are, elite boarding schools for the rich or ambitious.
Legend has it that Oxford University was founded by King Alfred in 872. A more likely scenario is that it grew out of efforts begun by Alfred to encourage education and establish schools throughout his territory. There may have been a grammar school there in the 9th century. A grammar school was exactly what it sounds like; a place for teaching Latin grammar.
The University as we know it actually began in the 12th century as gatherings of students around popular masters. The university consisted of people, not buildings. The buildings came later as a recognition of something that already existed. In a way, Oxford was never founded; it grew. Cambridge University was founded by students fleeing from Oxford after one of the many episodes of violence between the university and the town of Oxford.

Think it's time for most of to get out and tidy up.
Nice collection of conifers and deciduous material.
Looking at the big picture you got a lot going on and have planted a lot of plants.
How many species and cultivars do you think you have planted?
Seems like you told me awhile back you and mom were looking at another piece of property.
Is that still in the works?
Hi Cher, he's fast as a bullet and plows into trees (and pee's when I'm not looking I "tink")
Hi Dave, a quick calculation says I have 380 plantings of which combined conifer seedlings (80) and ~20 deciduous trees including an orchard and the rest are cultivars of conifers.
I'm staying here Dave. I didn't care for the area I was looking for land at. It wasn't half as attractive as where I am.
And I agree, it's time to plant, it's time to prune, it's spring!
Thanks for the update! I would think it'd be tough to leave a place you have so much time and effort invested in. I love your place and the new pup. I have a Saint Bernard/hound mix that been known to bump into a tree or two when she gets wound up, lol.
It's going to be great to see these trees grow over time. While I love the manicured conifer gardens many post, it's not a look I'm likely to achieve here at my place. I appreciate seeing a more open, rough and tumble space. I'm enjoying watching the progression and it inspires me. Thanks for sharing, Dax!
I like the Pinus densiflora 'Golden Ghost' too!
I gotta give it up to you, Dax! Thanks for recommending Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Wintergreen' in several posts over the years and including pics. It's how I found GardenWeb a few years back. That wet snow we got (sheesh, just a few weeks ago, right?) bent them over for a short time, but they popped right back up. And they stayed a nice, dark green all winter. Exactly what I wanted and needed for my yard.
First a few more from today after I tended a raging fire all afternoon:
Abies balsamea 'Weeping Larry' - gift from Dave
Pinus mugo 'Alpen Hexe' - grafted about 5-years ago.
Picea abies 'Sherrie' - named for me mum.
Pinus mugo 'Minima Kalous' - grafted about 5-years ago.
Pinus banksiana 'Compacta' - grafted about 5-years ago.
Pinus contorta var. latifolia 'Asher' - grafted about 5-years ago.
Ken, lol, yes, Golden Ghost was done buy "one" genius, however I cannot give you the credit as well to Pinus reflexa 'Extra Blue'.
Yeeep, taxo & Edwin: it's my seedling selection. The ortet tree when it perished was 25' tall and 5' wide at the base. It's a perfect, narrow, pyramidal-form. I suppose sleek is a good word to describe it. 'Derksen' is the last name of the guy in Minnesota that purchased the seedling & later he sent a rooted-cutting, to me.
GrapeSocks, Rick, Nater, thanks you guys.
20 the 25 Juniperus scopulorum I planted last year year made it. I have 5 replacements coming. I also planted 25 Pinus edulis and all perished. I don't know if it was too much or too little water, but I have another 30 coming next month. We had a crazy April last year, got 4 inches of precip over a week or so. We average 13 inches a year, so that was a lot all at once.
The seedlings I get are about 6 inches tall and could probably use more care and protection than I give them. I don't screen or stake them, just plant them and check moisture levels once a week or so. I'm going to try planting half of the pinons higher than last year. The other half I'm going to grow out in Tapla's gritty mix and see if getting some more size on them before planting out helps.
I have 5 Juniperus monosperma coming. I know they're not pretty, but they're tough!
I also have Pinus nigra, Abies concolor, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Juniperus horizontalis, 5 of each and 10 Abies lasiocarpa coming at the end of the month.
For the pretties from forestfarm, I ordered a Larix decidua (kaempferi? I know this dicussion's been had) 'Pendula', Picea omorika, Picea pungens glauca 'Pendula' and a Pinus koraiensis. I think that's enough latin for me tonight and I look forward to the corrections I'm sure to need, lol!
So much for taking it easy on the plantings this year.
Love your Golden Ghost!
You're going to be busy but, it's always worth it. Each tree or shrub or anything I/you plant is always one I'm glad I did.
Better luck this time around.
'Avocadra', it is a sexy beast. Now to wait as Edwin states. I won't be surprised if it sustains burn. The smoke and heat pretty much went directly to it.
Best Regards,
Dax, Great looking plants you have there. What a nice spread. Isn't it nice to be out in the country and just enjoy all that land and nature.
I would love to see a photo of your Taxodium distichum 'Mickelson' this summer once it breaks bud.
Thanks for sharing the photos.
Lady, I wouldn't trade the lifestyle for city life for anything. I'm lucky to be here the way I see things.
I have (8) 'Mickelson' Taxodium. Is this what you wish to see or did you intend to say my Dawn Redwood 'Derksen'?
Edwin, never heard of a variegated resinosa.
20 acres - made me take a gulp of my coffee. You have it going on girl! That's incredibly awesome.
Forsythia in bloom, green showing thru the flower buds of my Viburnum burejaeticum, most of the trees are swelling, my Acer rubrum 'Red Rocket' is in full flower, it's not going to be long.
Happy Spring everyone.

Pathways with members that have known relevance to a disease are used to support hypotheses generated from analyses of gene expression and proteomic studies. Using cancer as an example, the pitfalls of searching pathways databases as support for genes and proteins that could represent false discoveries are explored.
The frequency with which networks could be generated from 100 instances each of randomly selected five and ten genes sets as input to MetaCore, a commercial pathways database, was measured. A PubMed search enumerated cancer-related literature published for any gene in the networks. Using three, two, and one maximum intervening step between input genes to populate the network, networks were generated with frequencies of 97%, 77%, and 7% using ten gene sets and 73%, 27%, and 1% using five gene sets. PubMed reported an average of 4225 cancer-related articles per network gene.
This can be attributed to the richly populated pathways databases and the interest in the molecular basis of cancer. As information sources become enriched, they are more likely to generate plausible mechanisms for false discoveries.
Keywords:Databases; Pathways; Genes; Networks; Bioinformatics; Cancer pathways
As our knowledge about pathways increases, more genes are assigned to networks and the probability of generating a network from a randomly drawn set of genes is constantly increasing. Coincident with this is the fact that the number of publications relating genes to cancer is increasing; thus the probability of finding a paper on cancer that includes a gene listed as part of a "discovered" pathway is also increasing over time. The old adage, the more you know, the less you realize that you know can be modified to say that the more we know, the more likely we are to be misinformed by our knowledge. In conclusion,
1) Using pathways databases to support cancer related discoveries from data analysis of high throughput technologies can work to propagate false discoveries.
2) The more we know about pathways the more likely a set of genes or proteins under study, even if randomly selected, will be connected in some way in a pathways database.
3) While cancer was used for this case study, it is not the only disease that should be affected. The more we study the genetic and proteomic basis of a target disease, the more likely it is that a randomly generated network associated with a false discovery will be related in the literature to that target disease.
Modern research into the molecular biology of cancer can be traced back to the introduction of Knudson's "two-hit" hypothesis based on his discovery of a second somatic mutation in tumors from patients with a germline retinoblastoma gene mutation [1]. Since then research into the molecular biology of cancer has evolved into an effort to integrate patterns from increasingly complex analysis of data. Twenty years after the "two-hit theory" was proposed, a study of colorectal cancers demonstrated a more complex scenario with most tumor samples demonstrating mutations in four to five genes [2]. A more recent study discovered that there could be up to 20 mutated gene that have a role in the evolution of a type of cancer [3]. The number of genes involved in tumorigenesis or tumor behavior becomes even larger when taking into account downstream effects that activate or disable a number of functional pathways, each of which may contain a network of many genes [4,5]. Thus, there can be many pathways that can be assigned a role for even a single type of cancer, and an even larger number of genes and/or proteins when the entire network or pathways is considered.
In addition to mutations affecting functional activity, copy number aberrations, microRNA and methylation have been identified as additional regulatory systems that, when defective, can contribute to cancer. The National Institute of Cancer has funded a large scale effort to generate a library of gene sequences, copy number aberrations, gene expression, methylation, and microRNA expression data for hundreds of tumor samples across multiple types of cancer. It has become clear that all of this information is starting to burden those who seek to use it to create new clinical care paradigms [6,7]. Thus, new approaches to storage, retrieval, and in particular analysis of this information in the context of functional pathways are necessary to understand the molecular basis of cancer [8].
Numerous approaches to integrating information from pathways databases with pattern analysis of the various types of –omics data have been demonstrated to be of utility in identifying pathways relevant to tumorigenesis and tumor progression, both from a pre-analysis perspective using, for example, gene enrichment analysis [9] or as a post-hoc strategy for interpreting the relationship between significant genes or proteins (e.g. [10]. MetaCore (distributed by GeneGO), Gene Ontology, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (distributed by Ingenuity), MSigDB, Reactome, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes are just some of the databases available that store information about relationships between genes and their protein products in a pathways context. MetaCore has in particular an attractive function using a graph theory algorithm to generate networks that connects genes and proteins submitted as input based on relations abstracted from the literature [11].
These databases are critical to analyzing –omics data in the context of pathway analysis. They are used to explore or substantiate pathways hypothesized from data analysis. However, the propagation of misinformation due to a non-zero false discovery rate in the gene sets selected as relevant has not been explored. As these databases become enriched with more information, the probability that any two input genes/proteins will have been documented as having a relationship within a network increases. Going one step further, if an association can be made between the members of the network and the clinical phenomenon or disease of interest can be made in the literature, then a hypothesis generated from a false discovery can be fortified by supporting information. This problem is potentially very meaningful in diseases that are well studied, such as cancer. Since 1960 there has been an exponential increase in the number of publications that reference the term "cancer" in PubMed; within the last year alone, there were nearly 50,000 articles.
Using cancer then as a case in point, this report demonstrates the potential pitfalls faced in using networks generated from a representative pathways database. Multiple sets of random solutions sets of genes are created and submitted to MetaCore to see if they can be linked together into functional networks. Members of the extended network returned from MetaCore are searched in PubMed for cancer relevance. The results indicate the ease with which false discoveries can be supported by bioinformatics, resulting in hypothesized mechanisms that are not truly supported by the data.
Using three, two, and one maximum intervening step between input genes to populate the network, at least one network was generated with frequencies of 97%, 77%, and 7% for the ten random gene sets and 73%, 27%, and 1% for the five random gene sets. As stated in the methods, these results were generated using 100 trials for each case, e.g. five genes with one intervening step allowed, and are displayed here in Figure 1. The positive relationship between the number of networks generated and the maximum steps allowed is to be expected, that is, the number of networks that are generated increases with an increasing number of allowed edges between input nodes. The increase is more dramatic for the ten gene sets, though both converge on 100%. Figure 2 depicts a representative pathway generated from ten input nodes and allowing up to two intervening edges.
Figure 1. MetaCore results. Networks generated (y-axis) vs. maximum intervening edges allowed in MetaCore's "Shortest Path" algorithm (x-axis).
Figure 2. Representative pathway. This pathway was generated with ten input nodes and allowed for up to two edges between input nodes. The input nodes that are members of the pathway are encircled in the figure.
As described in the methods, a query was constructed to search for publications that related any of the genes in the discovered network(s) for any one trial with cancer. This query was submitted to PubMed (see Figure 3). There is as expected a strong, positive relationship between the number of input nodes and the number of cancer articles. It is certain that this number includes more than articles elucidating a direct link between the gene(s) of interest and cancer, for example, a study that shows no relationship.
Figure 3. PubMed results. Articles retrieved from PubMed (y-axis) vs number of genes for the networks generated from MetaCore (x-axis).
The different symbols and colors for the different classes of trials, where a class is defined by both the number of random genes and the maximum number of intervening edges allowed in the resulting network, in Figure 3 demonstrate the increase in the number of network nodes given more input genes (red symbols for ten random genes compared with black symbols for five random genes) and when more intervening edge are allowed (diamond symbols for three, triangles for two, and circles for one intervening edge). Some of the networks were associated with a very high number of articles. These are not shown in Figure 3 and were removed as "outliers". These may be attributable to networks that contain highly studied oncogenic pathways such as src or p53. Excluding those data as potentially representing special cases, the slope of the curve is 2466 articles per input node.
These results demonstrate that pathways related to cancer can be readily generated using sets of genes selected randomly from a list of genes used in a standard Affymetrix microarray chip. Empirical testing clearly reveals that the pathways databases can function to amplify the misinformation resulting from false discovery by generating plausible mechanisms to support the results. In addition to obtaining realistic pathways, the support from literature associated with cancer enhances the potential for propagation of misinformation. As knowledge in the domain of pathways increases, more genes are assigned to networks and the probability of generating a network increases. Coincident with this is the fact that the number of publications relating genes to cancer is increasing, and the probability of finding a paper on cancer that includes a gene listed as part of the "discovered" pathway is also increasing over time. The old adage, the more you know, the less you realize that you know can be modified to say that the more we know, the more likely we are to be misinformed by our errors.
It has been pointed out that pathway modeling is one of the most active areas of data analysis for high throughput data [12]. Overfitting is a problem in statistical analysis of high throughput data as there are frequently fewer test subjects than measurements. In addition to this imbalance, the complex algorithms used in bioinformatics can adapt to random noise in data just as they do to actual patterns [13]. Even though techniques for filtering noise, determining significance, and accounting for large amounts of data have proven useful, even the smallest p-values used in studies can create substantial chance error simply because the genome is so large [14].
This means that false gene discovery combined with the expansion of information in pathways databases and literature search engines can lead to the propagation of misinformation. In other words, if input information is incorrect, there may be a relatively high chance of obtaining results that support these false results. Although we have used Metacore's on-line tool to demonstrate the problems that can arise with pathways searches, we expect this problem to apply to other pathways databases as well, e.g. Ingenuity Path Designer Graphical Representation uses literature sources to generate edges between members of a pathway as does Metacore. Similarly Ariadne uses a database of relationships (ResNet Explore) that is used to generate pathways. Basically, the probability of detecting a network or pathway increases with the increasing size of the knowledge base of interactions in databases that are used to generate a pathway. This clearly presents a danger to research, especially to the field of personalized medicine as applied to cancer. While high throughput technologies have opened the door to novel discoveries for personalized medicine, they can also result in novel discoveries with plausible mechanisms that can be easily generated even if the genes of interest are randomly selected. Misleading hypotheses generated from analyses of high-throughput data are likely to be amplified by both pathway databases and reference libraries as investigators struggle to find significant results amongst all of this information.
Even though further text mining tools [15], and systematic use of keywords [16], might help filter unrelated retrievals, the problem of reviewing the literature in detail remains daunting considering the number of articles retrieved with the Boolean statements submitted. Given that cancer as a disease uses normal pathways even though it dysregulates their activity (overactive or underactive), then it is expected that many genes will have an association with cancer even if they are not causative. Therefore, a future focus is needed to minimize misleading results and to enrich for significant ones. Of course, better methods in the initial analysis to reduce false positive results help to reduce false pathway information, such as randomizing classes and repeating the data analysis. In addition, hypothesized pathways can be supported with some statistical analyses. For example, if "k" nodes of pathway "A" are in the input file to the pathways database, then how frequently would any combination of "k" nodes from pathway "A" be randomly selected from the complete data set (e.g. the probe set for the experiment). Also, percentage of a pathway's membership that is selected from the initial data analysis as input is important. The higher the percentage of the total number of nodes in a pathway that are selected as statistically meaningful in the data analysis that generates the input nodes, then the more likely it is that the pathway is operating in the data. For example, if two of ten total nodes for pathway "A" are selected in the data analysis, the likelihood that the pathway is meaningful is less than if all ten of the nodes were selected in the initial data analysis.
Certainly, experiments are required to validate a hypothesized pathway and all pathway information should be treated with caution as a hypothesis until proven otherwise. To label a gene or pathway as definitively causal will require external validation in a laboratory setting, such as up- or down-regulation within engineered cell lines. In short, the finding of a network that integrates gene discovery into an acceptable hypothesis and relevant disease-related literature should not be considered strong supporting information.
Generating random lists of five and ten genes/proteins to represent false discoveries
One hundred sets of five random Unigene identifiers and one hundred sets of ten random Unigene identifiers were randomly selected using computer scripts with R library calls. The Unigene identifiers were selected using BrainArray's (brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu) Custom CDF file, Unigene Version 13.0.0, and applied to the Affymetrix HT HGU 133A platform as a representative list of genes used in expression microarray experiments. The complete set of Unigene identifiers contained 12001 entries, some of which were repeated, representing replicated probes in the chip. Gene sets were selected without replacement using the following R v2.11.1 scripts [17,18].
Gene names[sample(12001,5,replace = FALSE)] (select 5 out of 12001 gene names without replacement).
Gene names[sample(12001,10,replace = FALSE)] (select 10 out of 12001 gene names without replacement).
Meta core pathway analysis
MetaCore is a pathway database that includes over 200,000 frequently updated protein-protein and protein-small molecule interactions that have been extracted from literature resources by experts. It allows the use of many different algorithms to analyze gene lists and handles large amounts of data very well [11].
MetaCore's on-line tool that employ's Dijkstra's shortest pathway algorithm was used to measure the frequency with which the five and ten randomly selected Unigene identifiers could be mapped onto a set of genes that could generate pathways ("shortest pathway" option in "Build Network" menu). Notably, occasionally the Unigene identifiers were not mapped onto corresponding objects in MetaCore; other times one Unigene identifier mapped to more than one object in MetaCore. We excluded anything except known synonyms for the gene associated with the Unigene identifier. Thus, the results were interpreted as obtained from 5 randomly generated Unigene identifiers that potentially mapped to more or less than 5 MetaCore objects.
Networks were generated using Dijkstra's algorithm. Both open and closed networks are allowed. These are drawn with single-step interactions ("edges") connecting any two genes/proteins in the network [8]. Input options include the maximum number of intervening edges in the path between any two of the input objects, called "root objects" in MetaCore. Inputs of one to three intervening edges were compared for both the five and ten gene sets as input. One hundred (100) trials were performed for each of the five and ten gene sets and with each of one, two and three intervening steps for a total of 600 trials. The frequencies with which networks were generated were recorded. Canonical pathways were allowed; information was restricted to the Homo sapiens species.
Pubmed literature search
To get a better idea of the massive amounts of information that could be garnered from the information provided by each network, an automated literature search was performed on PubMed, a search engine for biomedical literature that was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information [15]. A Boolean search term was constructed with an "AND" operator joining the term "cancer" to a list of the genes returned as nodes in the networks. The latter were joined by an "OR" operator. This was submitted in PubMed query format and was equivalent to manually entering:
"CANCER" AND "gene1" OR "gene2" OR "gene3" … "geneN" (where N represents the total number of genes in the network for a particular trial).
This search yielded all of the articles that included the term "cancer" and any of the genes of interest found in a particular network. No time limits or other constraints were placed upon the search.

Children in areas close to fast-food outlets had increased odds of obesity, with older children at higher risk because of greater freedom of choice, according to a U.K. study published in Health & Place. The results suggest that anti-obesity policies should include ways to reduce the concentration of unhealthy food outlets, researchers said.

Been delayed the last few months (diverted $$$ resources to other expenses). It is ready for sheet rock and then cabinet/countertop installation. Hopefully will be complete around Mid Spring. Probably have around $4000 in it thus far with another $2000 to go. Siding alone was almost $1000 including gutters. It all adds up quick!
I've also added double bolted lateral bracing in four areas on the "legs" just to be safe. The 4x4s are 24-30 inches down into bulldozer packed clay (had to use a 4ft pry bar to chip it away as I dug). Each hole is filled with 80 pounds of concrete. This brewhaus isn't gonna move on me... Just need to ensure the 4x4s don't get dirt and moisture covered and rot - that is the weekness of the design even though they are pressure treated.
Awesome thanks! My county has a really excellent document detailing what you need for foooters, beams etc for decks. Unfortunately building a shed on the side of a hill basically requires me to get decking permits for this purpose Oh well! Thanks a lot for this info and the build thread. I never knew siding was so expensive! I guess its more expensive than T-111? But painting frequently would increase the cost/time that route.

It is a house in an industrial town, without any charm (the house, the street, the town…). No convenience near, only clothing workshops. No service, only somebody to give the keys (you must phone to have an apointment at a precise hour, otherwise there is nobody there) and you must go the next morning to another near house (workshop) to register and pay... You hear the neighbours in the others rooms very close and the workers of this workshop speaking loud very early in the morning, but you must keep the windows open because it's very hot. No clim and no aeration, very suffocating. The price is very high, far too expensive, for the service and the convenience.

The property was very hard to locate but once we were there the owners were extremely helpful. In fact they went out of their way to help us navigate in and out of Prato.

This is not a hotel in the true sense - its more like rooms rented out.There is no formal reception area etc.But the rooms and the villa is outstanding in terms of decor,furnishings and cleanliness. This place is hard to find and no public transport narby - hence suitable only for access by Car. Hotel owner Chiara was very helpful - she sent across a person - Dante to pick us up from Prato after we got lost.This person Dante was the caretaker and took excellent care of us.He accompanied us to important places like the railway station highway etc. and also picked us up on the way back - making sure we were not lost.Rooms had a big patio/baclony which was very useful for stretching out - especially since we had kids.No breakfast offered - but there is a restaurant and a breakfast nearby. Make sure you carry the phone number of the place whil trying to reach it - as it is not very easy.

Mary and Richard were the great hosts. They provided me good information about the public transit in SF prior to my arrival and after reaching there. They were very hospitable and helpful. I liked living there. Although the room was little smaller than was I was expecting but it was okay. Bathroom was completely private. Neighborhood was good and I found restaurants and shops close by. It was all good experience. I would try again if I visit that area.
I had the best experience during my stay in San Francisco. Mary and Richard are very friendly and welcoming and took the time to make me feel accustomed to their residence. The room was cozy, clean and comfortable. I really liked having access to my own bathroom and having my own personal entrance. I also loved the location. To be in the Mission with an affordable price was hard to believe. I would definitely like to stay with them again.
We had a great time staying at Marys and Richards house! The room was tidy, clean and comfortable. The location is also great! Mary and Richard were welcoming and made us feel comfortable. We can only recommend to stay at this place while visiting San Francisco!
My boyfriend and I stayed with Mary and Richard for four nights and they were great hosts and made us feel very welcome in their home. They were both friendly and warm and were more than happy to give us tips and recommendations on where to go and what to eat. Richard even gave my boyfriend a lift to the BART station when he left to get his flight. The room itself is cosy and private, and we had our own bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay!
It was a pleasure staying on Mary & Richard's house. They are both very lovely and helpful people, and I felt very welcome from the beginning.
The room is nice and clean, and the neighborhood seemed to me both full of life and safe even though I was a young woman travelling alone.
I will definitely recomend this place :-)
Mary and Richard were wonderful hosts, they made us feel very welcome and gave us all kinds of great tips and information to make our visit nice and easy. We loved their home and were very comfortable in the private room. The location is fantastic, so close to everything and perfectly situated in the Mission. Really convenient and lovely!
I had so much fun visiting San Francisco! I think a large part of that was due to staying in Mary and Richard's rental space. They were both wonderful hosts. Prior to our vacation, I was a bit overwhelmed about getting around the area, but then they provided us with great tips/direction, which instantly eased my anxieties (THANKS GUYS!) We loved their home and were very comfortable in the private room. It felt as though we were staying with friends. Would definitely stay there again.

I have lived in San Francisco for over 30 years. I am fortunate to own homes in two of the most beautiful parts of California, San Francisco and Lake Tahoe.
Come for an extended visit!
