(World model) Better conversation handling in the library
The current system is pretty rudimentary and hard to develop anything complex with.
0 votesPlanned, sort of: that is, we are working on an extension that could be bundled with Inform, but would not add bulk to the standard rules for those who do not want it.
(Parsing) A way to order understand lines explicitly
As in:
Understand "[a beat]" as discussing (this is the understand discussing
rule). The understand discussing rule is listed first in the
understand rules.0 votesWe will not adopt this exact syntax (there is no "understand rules"
rulebook, so the syntax would be misleading), but we are interested in
offering the author some way to manually override Inform's assumptions
about the order of understand lines. We would be interested in suggested
syntax. -
(World model/Programming) Make Inform 6's Scope_reason visible
To facilitate some existing scope issues, Inform 6's scope_reason should be exposed at the I7 level, as seen in Ron Newcomb's "Scope Control" extension, here:
0 votes -
(Syntax) Translate the phrase body of "which description is..." into a state machine implementation
I think I briefly mentioned this a long time ago, but given the news
that closures will be added in a future version, I think it ought to
be restated in depth: I propose adding an NI feature to facilitate
writing "to decide which description is..." phrases, by translating
the phrase body into a state machine implementation based around a
closure.(Caution: long technical discussion follows, some based on speculation
about I7 features yet to come. For now, this is just something to
think about, and possibly -- I hope -- refer back to some time after
this upcoming release.)…
0 votes -
(Namespace) Make compiler smarter about abbreviating object names
Have the compiler allow abbreviations where they're unambiguous but
choose the shortest match otherwise. For instance, if we have:The car key is a thing.
And somewhere else:
The car is a thing.
Then could the compiler be made to assume that, since there's an identifier
called 'car', 'car' by itself always refers to the car and never to the car
key (although 'car' could otherwise be taken as a reference to the 'car key'
if 'car' had not been defined as a separate identifier).0 votesThis is a good idea but very difficult to implement; we will see whether it
turns out to be possible.There are also possible hazards. At present, ambiguous names are resolved partly
by seeing what names are closer in the source text; this is useful in resolving
ambiguities between extensions and the main source. We are concerned that
implementing this feature might introduce errors which the current implementation
resolves correctly. -
(IDE) Skein accessibility
Work to make the skein more accessible to visually-impaired users: currently it is not useful to them.
0 votes -
(Programming) Allow conditionless definitions
To allow definitions such as
Definition: the orange is citrus.including no condition at all.
0 votes -
(Programming) Clearing a list with "now"
Be able to empty a list simply by saying
now L is empty;rather than having to truncate a list to 0 entries.
0 votes -
(Output/printing) Add an activity for room name printing
Would it be possible to make the printing of a room's name (in bold, at the top of a room description) into an activity? –Or, perhaps more usefully, make the entire process of "printing a room description" an activity.
I've often found myself wishing that I could refer to the printing of a room description as the context for printing a room's name. Specifically, it would be nice to be able to create a rule for printing the name of a room that capitalizes it when printing a room description or constructing the status line, but not under other…0 votesThis would not be hard to do, but we have tried to be conservative about the number of activities created (and even so there is a very large number of them). Currently it is not too difficult to replace the single rule that generates this room title, so you can in theory create such an activity yourself if you wish.
So the question here is whether this seems useful enough to enough people to be worth putting the extra bulk into the Standard Rules (and therefore also into the documentation).
Implement Inform 7 IDE as HTML5 Web Application
Title says it all. Would it be valuable to develop I7 as a web application that compiled server-side and returned results to client or ran app in client/server paradigm? If so, is this a good idea?
0 votes -
(Programming/Tables) Table replacement
Since we now can both continue and amend tables, it seems natural
to also be able to replace them completely. The columns would still have to be
the same, but the previous contents would be discarded. For instance, to
replace the final question options, one must currently writeSection 1 - My custom final question options (in place of Section SR2/12 -
Final question options in Standard Rules by Graham Nelson)Table of Final Question Options
[etc]Here, it would clearly be less work to write:
Table of Final Question Options (replaced)
[etc]0 votes -
(Output filtering) Ability to redefine an apostrophe
Different handling of apostrophes. For some languages like French,
Italian, maybe Spanish as well, it may be useful to be able to disable the
replacement of apostrophe by " and replace quote by something else ([quote] or
["], etc).0 votesWe will investigate how possible this is.
(Documentation) Provide a plain text version of the Recipe Book
One exists for Writing with Inform, but it would be nice to have the Recipe Book in this format as well. (Or, if it exists, it would be nice to have it linked from the same place on the Inform website as WI.)

Remove "carried" and revise handling of implicit actions
"My suggestion would be to abolish 'carried' in action specifications (as in Eating is an action applying to one carried thing) and replace the carrying requirements rule with a new rulebook that's responsible for all implicit actions (including the existing implicit takes). This would make it easy to unlist an implicit action rule an author doesn't like or doesn't need and replace it with one s/he prefers. For example, instead of way the implicit take for eating currently works, an author would be able to write:
implicit action for eating a portable edible thing:
carry out the implicitly taking…0 votes -
(Parsing) Strip full stops from topics before parsing them as topic understood
If someone is using the topic matching system and they type ASK EMMA ABOUT FISH., that doesn't match "fish" because of the period/full stop, but we obviously don't want to strip out punctuation until after we've done the first bit of parsing and separated commands and so on. It would be possible to fix this with Punctuation Removal, but it's such a common issue that it would be preferable for the standard library to handle it.
0 votes -
Let "showme" display temporary variables
Currently, code like:
repeat with item running through things:
showme "Checking [item]: valid."...will fail, claiming that the text substitution is a "temporary thing, long gone by the time it would need to be printed." But this is not in fact true in this case, and would be a useful thing to be able to check.
0 votes -
(IDE) Allow Save Debug Build to output a gblorb instead of an ulx file
Currently, when the Save Debug Build option is used for a glulx project, the game file that is created is not blorbed (.ulx extension) and contains no multimedia resources. This makes it very difficult to test multimedia games. Story files with multiple graphics windows and sound both need to be tested outside of the IDE (the former because of screen-spae issues, the latter because Zoom does not yet support sound). There are ways to get around this, but they involve dropping into I6 to define the DEBUG constant to enable built-in debugging commands, while at the same time using an…
0 votes -
(Programming) Ability to refer to objects in terms of their heading
Manipulation of objects based on the heading in which they
occurred, as inAll rooms in Section - first floor (living area) are in the Ark Quarters.
If the player is in a room in Section - first floor (living area) then...
0 votesThis might be possible to do, but in initial discussions there is no consensus
that this would be a good idea. Barring more persuasive argument, we are
inclined to leave the current behavior alone. -
(World model) Make talking actions apply to visible things
Currently, answering it that, telling it about, and asking it
about require that the person being talked to be touchable. It is proposed
that this be changed to "visible" instead. There are some implications for
the conceptual picture of what is going on - speaking in this way becomes,
perhaps, a less intimate act - but it seems more rather than less
realistic.0 votes -
Restarting clears prior actions for future recompile/replay requests
Requests to recompile and replay will not perform any actions taken in the last play-through prior to a "> restart" command being issued.

Reshaping breast care services – a role for dietitians? Uptake and response to dietary intervention in postmenopausal women newly diagnosed with breast cancer
Milne, Jillian (2009) Reshaping breast care services – a role for dietitians? Uptake and response to dietary intervention in postmenopausal women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. University of Southampton, School of Medicine, Doctoral Thesis , 243pp.
Download (5Mb) |
Breast cancer survival rates have risen dramatically over recent years with many women expected
to survive their diagnosis and live long and fruitful lives. As a result 'cancer survivorship' has
become of interest to health care providers who state that future services must be developed that
better meet the long term health needs and expectations of this group.
To this end, the role of health behaviour change in the secondary prevention of breast cancer is a
popular area of research. To date, however, there are no published investigations into what the
likely uptake in health promotion activities would be; an important consideration when developing
health services.
Over a period of six months between April 2007 and September 2007, all eligible newly diagnosed
postmenopausal women with breast cancer from the participating NHS trust were invited to
participate in a clinical trial to assess uptake and response in a group healthy eating programme.
The primary outcome measures were to assess the proportion of women who enrolled on the
healthy eating programme and to identify health behaviours that predicted enrolment. Secondary
outcome measures were to assess the change in diet quality; change in weight and to identify
health behaviours that predicted attendance at classes.
Twenty one percent (21%) of women invited agreed to attend the healthy eating programme and
were subsequently randomly assigned to either the healthy eating programme (n=5) or the usual
care group (n=6).
The results suggest that women newly diagnosed with breast cancer were not interested in
attending healthy eating classes at the time of their diagnosis. However, screening rates fell
significantly short of the target and therefore these results cannot be generalised to all newly
diagnosed postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Further, due to poor recruitment,
secondary outcomes could not be assessed.
In summary, the study was unable to provide information regarding the likely interest and
response to a group health eating programme for newly diagnosed postmenopausal women with
breast cancer. The reasons the study was unable to meet its aims was objectives were twofold;
firstly the study failed to engage both NHS trusts for which approval was granted and secondly,
screening procedures were not carried out as planned in the single remaining NHS trust.

There�s 60 days for the public to comment on all the new ideas, so if you�re really upset, you can always chime in. You can even take it way too far and call up your friendly member of Congress, because we�re sure they have nothing better to do.
Besides the threat to our nation�s favorite airline snack, there were some ideas that are actually kind of decent. They�re thinking about giving you even more cash�like up to $1,300�if you�re bumped from your flight. Also, there might be a way to cancel or change reservations within 24 hours without a penalty or other fees. We�ll see how it all goes, but for now we�re safe, because this suggestions won�t become rules until fall at the earliest. So just order an extra bag of peanuts while you can, because the clock is ticking.

Political strife casts shadow on Bangladesh's tourism outlook
Publication Date : 26-12-2012
The good times the local tour operators saw in 2012 are unlikely to roll into 2013 due to political turmoil, according to tour operators in Bangladesh.
A relatively stable political environment in the first half of the current year and the improving economic outlook in Eurozone augmented tourist arrivals in Bangladesh in 2012.
"The market has been good this year as the flow of foreign tourists was higher. But it has begun to slow progressively because of political unrest," Wahid Ullah, managing director of Silver Wave Tours Ltd, which facilitates inbound tourism, said yesterday.
The overall market grew by 10-15 per cent year-on-year in 2012, he said.
"But 2013 will most definitely be a bad one. Afraid of being caught up in political turbulence, arrivals of foreign tourists have already dropped."
Five groups of Japanese tourists, who were scheduled to visit Bangladesh in the December-January period through Silver Wave, have already cancelled their trips.
The tour operators fear a slump akin to 2006 levels, when political bitterness deepened between the then ruling party, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), and the opposition Awami League (AL) over voter lists and formation of caretaker government for parliamentary elections.
This time, a lingering row between the ruling AL and the opposition BNP over the caretaker system led to a series of hartals and demonstrations enforced by BNP and its allies.
"Foreigners are repeatedly asking us whether there will be hartals when they want to visit Bangladesh next year," said Faridul Haque, managing director of Tours Planners Ltd.
Tourism flourishes faster in those areas where peace prevails, as tourists show reluctance to visit a country where their mobility is impeded by political unrest, he said.
The best example is Egypt, where the tourist flow slumped after political turmoil broke, Hoque said.
Around 600 foreigners used the services of Tour Planners in 2012, up from the previous year's 500.
The gloomy outlook comes at a time when tourism's contribution to the Bangladeshi economy is fast rising, after years of stagnation.
In 2000, foreign tourist arrivals in Bangladesh were 199,000, and that number increased by 56.25 per cent over the decade to 303,000 in 2010, according to a report by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
In 2011, foreign tourist arrivals generated 380 million taka-odd, with the number forecasted to cross the 400 million-mark in 2012, according to a World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) study.
The travel and tourism sector raked in 182.5 billion taka, about 2.2 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011.
The sector's contribution is forecasted to rise by 7.3 per cent in 2012, and by 6.1 per cent annually until 2022, according to the WTTC study.
Masud Hossain, executive director of Bengal Tours, said tourists are very sensitive about the political environment.
"We are very worried about what is going to happen next year. Hartals have caused a lot of damage, as tourists could not move around and we had to shift the travel dates many times."
Bangladesh sees tourist arrivals mainly from Europe and Japan.
Foreign tourists were higher in the first half of this year because of the relatively stable political situation, said Syed G Qadir, general manager of Galaxy Holidays.
"The country's achievements and positive indicators help attract tourists," he said, adding around 700 foreign tourists came to Bangladesh via Galaxy in 2012, up from 500 in the previous year.
Galaxy, which operates both inbound and outbound tour packages, saw a huge spike in the number of Bangladeshis traveling abroad for holidays.
"It is because of rising income among the middle-class," said Qadir.
Galaxy facilitated travels of 2,000 Bangladeshis abroad in 2012, up 25 per cent from the previous year.
Zahirul Islam Bhuiyan, chief executive of Discovery Tours and Logistics, mentioned decent growth of the tourism sector in the outgoing year.
"But it is uncertain whether the rising arrivals of foreign tourists will continue into next year," he said, adding many tourists cancelled trips in December.

DRAFT TIME WILL BE 1/19/2013, 8pm PST (Vancouver time) For those of you dont know, this is a league as official as it gets for Canucks Board Yahoo Fantasy Hockey for Rotissarie League. This is officially year 9 baby! (unofficially 10th year, since 2003) Winner of Last Year will be highlighted and Bolded the following year! Lets get started This is Rotissarie League! ------------------------------------- This is the same league with the same rules that was run from last 6 years! [CENTER] 2009/2010 Canucks Board 1000+ Post League Thread / Result 2012 First Place: DOGWOOD ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rule NUMBER ONE: Casual Trash Talking is ENCOURAGED. Anything on Hockey. No personal attacks or "extreme coarse" languages. I do encourage people who played in the same league join again (but ONLY IF you can play competitively and ACTIVELY again) We will have 14 teams again this year. Here it is. The Usual players, better sign up!! ----------------------------------------------------------- Again, this is for those who are SERIOUS and ACTIVE (for the entire year) ONLY. I know I can only take your word for it (being active), but PLEASE DO Not ruin the fun for those who want to have fun through trading and being active! Please Speak UP about your preferred time/date in PST!! (I, for one, am on EST, but since majority would be in PST, lets use PST as the standard time here) We try to accommodate as many as possible and I do expect at least 9-11 of us present at draft time, which was the case last year. If you cannot be there, PRE-Rank your players so that you'd at least be 80% satisfied with your team if not more. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Those who do not join the league, I will PM League ID and Password to wait list people.Those who are on the wait list can join the league at any time. It is first come first serve basis. I am sorry, if you cannot join the team and check the PM at least ONCE a week, you are kidding yourself and us that you will be active for the year. LEAGUE RULES and Scoring We have decided that 1) Scoring: Offense: G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, Defense: W, GAA, SV%, SHO 2) Roster: 2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 1 UTILITY, 2G, 5 Bench, 1 IR Total games per each position is 92. 3) Every team must start their G at least 3 times a week. BE There, and if you cannot be there, PM ME. If majority of the players can make it, this is it.9 For those who CANNOT be there, PRE-RANK your top 200 players!! That way, You would still get 80% of the team you want! OR else, you'll probably be on the bottom 6 of the league and give up by X'mas -------------------------- I am almost sure that there will be, again, TWO leagues this year. One will be run by myself and One by Vancity Millionaires (H2H) 1. PhillyNucksFan 2. RandV - The A-Team 3. 4. Balls Mahoney 5. King Lui 6. 7. BBB - Bango 8. cooker 9. Liquid Snake 10. Dogwood 11. The Seekers 12. 13. RD 14. VCM Backup Reserve List (If the above people who did not join the league by 10/1/2011) 1. 2. 3. 4. |
If possible, count me in. I would love to be the last one. .:)
Put me in!
EDIT: Scratch that, im out. |
I would definitely be down. Don't care where in the order I draft.
I'd be down.
I'll give it a go if there's space.
I'll be up for it
I'd prefer probably a Sunday night for the draft, but can likely accommodate most schedules... are we talking about last week September/beginning October for draft and push it if no season start?
Can I join?
How about this time when the draft comes up I'm night twiddling my thumbs playing Minecraft or something.
I am pushing the draft date as late as possible and could hold it on a sunday if that is what everyone prefers.
Some of the teams have not responded to the emails, so a few spots have been opened up. Please email me if you are interested to join. I got about 6 spots open and I will be giving them out in about a week or so I want to let the old team members another chance to join by sending them a reminder. my email is email@example.com Thanks |
give me a shout if you need some new blood
i'l throw my hat in the queue
Is it too late to back out this year? I've just got too many commitments. Now I've got 2 jobs and I'm going to school. Fuuuuck.
It has been awhile!!
Mayhen, yes you can back up and thanks for letting me know. I can send Pass to the next person inline. We have shortened season and shortened league at this point. So, please PM me if you want to join this league. We have been running since 2002, almost 10 years here on HF nucks board!!! Draft is on 1/19/2013, 8pm PST |
i'l re-throw my hat in the queue
Crap I got my weekends mixed up, I have hockey at 6:15 on the 19th, 4:45 is this Saturday. Makes it a lot tighter but I should still be fine, may just need to set a list and autopick the first few rounds.
I should be able to make it the 19th, though personally I'd much rather not have it in the middle of my Saturday night (11pm EST). Particularly since the season starts that night...I'd much rather be out watching hockey for the first time in 2 years (was in Australia last year) than in my room drafting a fantasy team.
I'm actually really surprised...I would've though everyone would want to be watching hockey at this time. I imagine there's a good chance the Canucks will be playing while we're busy drafting? Edit: Found what appears to be an actual schedule. No Canucks, but still... Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens Colorado Avalanche vs. Minnesota Wild Florida Panthers vs. Washington Capitals Ottawa Senators vs. Winnipeg Jets Detroit Red Wings vs. St. Louis Blues |
I'm back in
I'm interested if there is a spot!
if you need another active gm let me know would love to be in :)
I could push back the draft by half an hour if that helps. I think we all know that RandV been with this league for i think 7 or 8 years now!! Actually, it shouldnt be too bad. I have just msged the people who said they want in here. So, its first come first serve. This is a very active league!! but we will always have the last 2 or 3 players who just give up.. GIVEN a SHORT SEASON, I think everyone will be in the mix to contend... draft is so much more crucial now!! |
Also, I didnt realize the draft date is the OPENING NIGHT DATE....
I would prefer to draft BEFORE the season starts.. So.. how about Friday or WEEKDAY?? |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:39 AM. |

AN Australian magazine has bought the rights to photographs of a pregnant Kate Middleton in a bikini.
News.com.au can reveal that Woman's Day will run the controversial shots in Monday's edition.
St. James's Palace slammed the photos as a "clear breach of the couple's right to privacy."
"We are disappointed that photographs of the Duke and Duchess on a private holiday look likely to be published overseas", a spokesman said.
The photos show the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge - the former Kate Middleton - wearing a bikini and strolling on a beach with William on the island of Caribbean island of Mustique.
It is not known how much Woman's Day paid for secondary rights to the photos and editor Fiona Connolly has yet to make a comment.

Analysts positive on Malaysia's auto sector
Publication Date : 25-09-2012
Analysts are still positive about Malaysian automotive sector despite vehicle sales dipping in August.
OSK Research is maintaining the house's total industry volume (TIV) outlook for the year.
"TIV growth year-to-date remains in positive territory at 1.7 per cent, slightly ahead of our forecast of a 1.1 per cent growth in 2012," the research house said in a report.
"Sales for non-national marques in the July-August period remain quite encouraging despite talks on the likelihood of a reduction in excise duties, which could be announced in the upcoming Budget 2013 or in the National Automotive Policy (NAP)."
OSK Research also said it was "business as usual" in the used-car market.
"Based on our channel checks, any weakness in sales in September and October would be marginal. Come the fourth quarter, we believe the seasonally slower quarter (as many defer purchases to after the new registration year) could be buoyed by new model launches from key models such as Nissan's entry in the B segment, the Almera, and the all-new Honda City.
"As such, we maintain our TIV growth forecast of 1.1 per cent for now."
According to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), vehicle sales in August fell by 7,644 units or 12.9 per cent to 51,823 units from the 58,382 units in the same month last year.
The MAA attributed the vehicle sales performance to a short working month due to the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and Merdeka Day holidays.
Meanwhile, RHB Research is maintaining a "neutral" call for the local automotive sector.
"The sales data for August was more resilient than expected and is reflective of the strong underlying demand, tickled by ongoing attractive new model launches. The key risk to the sector is how the market reacts to ongoing talks on the proposed gradual reduction of new vehicle prices.
"The MAA remained cautious on sales prospects for September, expecting sales volumes to be flat month-on-month, citing consumer caution ahead of the announcement of Budget 2013. Nonetheless, the year-on-year sales growth will still be sizeable due to the seasonal sales slump in September 2011."
Last week, MAA president Aishah Ahmad told StarBiz that consumers are postponing car purchases due to several factors, including expectations of goodies in the upcoming budget for the auto sector.
"Orders have slowed down a bit. We believe that people expect something will be announced at the budget," Aishah was quoted as saying, adding that the MAA does not expect any significant announcement in Budget 2013 pertaining to the local auto sector.
For the first six months of 2012, total vehicle sales rose marginally by 1.4 per cent to 301,224 units from 297,203 units a year earlier. The MAA has forecast total industry volume to hit 615,000 units for this year which, if achieved, would be a new record for the country.

Hexapod V3.0 aka. xPod (Developed 2002)
The V3 Hexapod has many improvements over V2, such as: New improved Rx03-50i servo drivers housed within each leg to minimize wiring and save space. The drivers also do Frame doubling and interpolation so the host only needs to send frames at half the usual refresh rate. PP3 battery compartment for control and sensor electronics. Optional on board locomotion engine (p.Brain) for Autonomous control. This engine takes care of all Inverse Kinematics and leg locomotion allowing you to simply add automation and sensors to the hexapod. this makes running the hexapod as easy as a wheeled robot. Superior Futaba 3101 servos, with migration path to 3102 metal gear servos with huge 3.6kg/cm torque. Servo Control Six Rx03-50i Servo boards to drive the servos. The Rx03-50i's are driven via a serial link to a host PC or p.Brain. Locomotion Engine PC or on board p.Brain controller. p.Brain locomotion processor is a PIC18F2520. Power 4.8V 1700mah NmHd pack for servos and servo drivers. 9V pp3 for control electronics. Sensors None. My goal is to provide the walking platform only. it will be up to the end user to add their own sensors. Weight & Size Weight: approximately 1.1Kg with 4.8V battery pack and six servo drivers. Size: approximately 300mm X 280mm leg span. Body: 230mm X 115mm. More pictures/video can be supplied if needed. Matt Denton micromagic systems ltd www.micromagicsystems.com |

BCM Receives Department Of Defense Awards To Study New Therapeutic Targets In Breast Cancer
A team of researchers from the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center at Baylor College of Medicine recently received Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program awards to study new therapeutic targets based on the genomic changes that drive tumor formation.
The two awards for the partnering principle investigators total $781,455; and were given to BCM young investigator Dr. Xiaosong Wang, assistant professor in the Smith Breast Center, and Dr. Rachel Schiff, associate professor in the Smith Breast Center.
Wang is trained in bioinformatics, genomics, molecular biology and gene fusion research with four years prior experience as a surgeon. Schiff is an established scientist in breast cancer biology, molecular therapeutics, drug resistance and in vivo therapeutic models.
'Haystack' of genetic changes
"We know that some of the most successful cancer therapeutics target genetic aberrations, such as gene fusions and gene amplifications," said Wang.
Gene fusion occurs when chromosomes translocate and fuse together pieces of two different genes. Gene amplification occurs when there is repeated copying of a gene sequence.
'Driver' gene fusions and amplifications are keys for tumor progression and successful targeted therapies; however, the cancer genome usually harbors a large amount of non-specific changes as well.
"If you sequence a breast cancer tumor, you will typically find a 'haystack' of these changes. So the challenge is how to identify what are the drivers of the changes and target them directly," said Wang.
Digital "eagle eye"
Using publicly available datasets, Wang and his team will use a novel bioinformatics tool — which Wang developed — to analyze the intensive amount of data produced from a human tumor genome sequence and identify the operations of these genetic changes.
"Using computational technology, we will zoom into the genome to identify the key changes that control the cancer cells," said Wang.
Fitting to the booming cancer genome projects
This well fits to the recent boom of cancer genome projects, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas, Sanger Cancer Genome Project, and International Cancer Genome Consortium projects", said Schiff. "We also closely collaborate with the Stand Up To Cancer group led by Dr. Joe Gray, a pioneering scientist in breast cancer genomics (of the Oregon Health and Science University)".
"The new technology can substantially improve and advance the interpretation of these data, incorporating significant new data sets immediately reanalyzing and updating", she said.
The drivers, Wang said, serve as attractive drug targets. Some of the targets may already be developed into therapeutics for other diseases and could be more rapidly available to study in breast cancer, Wang said. Other targets could lead to new drug development.
"At BCM, we have established a unique Cancer Genetics Laboratory," said Schiff. "We envision that down the road, these new targets could be translated into diagnostic assays as well that will be developed by the laboratory."

Whether you're an aspiring or experienced artist, this course provides detailed coverage of CorelDRAW, the flagship vector-based illustration and layout application. Author Scott Georgeson, the official creator of video training for CorelDRAW X4, X5, and X6, helps you get up to speed with the basics of vector drawing. Scott demonstrates how to use objects, layers, and pages to organize documents effectively and he discusses working with color, Artistic Text, drawing tools, and special effects. The course also covers how to align and group objects to lay them out more effectively and how to dictate the layering of objects with the Weld, Trim, and Intersect commands.
This course was created by Scott Georgeson. We're honored to host his tutorials in the lynda.com library.
We're now on page 18 of your working file, the subject of skewing. Now, as I said in the previous lesson, when you select an object, click again, you get the four rotation handles, but you also have these side handles, which we call skew handles. And really what they do is they allow you to literally skew. So imagine the bottom of the piece of text is fixed. When I click on the top skew handle, and I move to the right, as you can see, the bottom is fixed, and I'm able to lean to the left, or to the right, and we call that skewing.
If I hold my finger on Control, in that same way we saw with rotation, 15 degree increments, which can make it easy. Now, the thing is that whenever you work with text a lot, some text doesn't have italics available. If I click, for example, Italicize there, it very much looks like a skew, doesn't it? I'll quickly undo that. You may find that you want more skew, and that's why you will use it, or more of the sense of italicizing. So again, simply click, if you hold your finger on Control, well, you know that's two clicks there, about 30 degrees skew, and that way I know I'll apply that to similar text. Control+Z, Control+Z.
Now, the same thing applies; always remember that whatever handle you select, it's the opposite side that becomes the anchor point. So again, click on the bottom, and the top is anchored. So click on the side, and of course, the opposite side is anchored. Now, you can create some really great effects. For example, let's say I were to skew that to the right just a little. Now, Plus on my keyboard, or Control+C, and Control+V for copying; we learned that earlier.
And I'll click, because I just created a duplicate, pull that down like that, and that's an effect you oftentimes see today. It's kind of a cool effect. Click on, say, a light color gray, and it's kind of a shadow effect. Click on black, and again, it's quite a cool type of effect. We'll look more at those sorts of effects as we move along. Now, one more thing I want to show you quickly is the Alt key. The Alt key is kind of weird. Now, I'm just quickly going to show you what it does. Finger on Alt -- sorry, I'll click again on the skew handles. Finger on Alt, and what it kind of does is it fixes the object in the center.
So as I move my mouse left and right, you can see it's kind of skewing the top and the bottom around a center point. But I can also do it up and down as well. Well, if nothing else, it's certainly a lot of fun, and it's a great way to move something around, and kind of get a feel of all sorts of different kind of skew options, as you can see there. So we've called it an effect, because there really is no word to describe it, but please do have a play with that. And of course, when you work with multiple objects, it's exactly the same.
Select them all, click, bring up your skew handles, and of course, you can work in exactly the same fashion. Now, I'll quickly show you one more thing; how powerful skew is. Now, I'm going to hit Plus on my keyboard, or Control+C, and then Control+V. Shrink that down a little, just like that. Click again, and I'm just going to skew that to the right a little. Select it again, and what does that look like? Does that look like an open folder? Now, how easy was that? We just simply worked with a square, or a rectangle if you want to call it that, and we've created that folder effect that you oftentimes see in Windows.
So go ahead, have a play with skew, create the folder you've just seen, and we'll move on to the next lesson.

Prenatal diagnosis of partial agenesis of the corpus callosum in a fetus with thanatophoric dysplasia type 2
Kalache, Karim D., Lehmann, Katarina, Chaoui, Rabin, Kivelitz, Dietmar E., Mundlos, Stefan and Bollmann, Rainer (2002) Prenatal diagnosis of partial agenesis of the corpus callosum in a fetus with thanatophoric dysplasia type 2. Prenatal Diagnosis, 22, (5), 404-407. (doi:10.1002/pd.327).
Full text not available from this repository.
A fetus with thanatophoric dysplasia type 2 (TD2) associated with cloverleaf skull and abnormal development of the corpus callosum is reported. This case represents the first prenatal direct visualization of a partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) using high-resolution ultrasonography and colour power Doppler, which was confirmed by post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The causal link between cloverleaf skull in TD and partial ACC is discussed.

The Big Chill (1983): A monster hit that shocked a generation of former counter-culture types into realizing they had become sell-out yuppies who would eventually vote Republican and attend Tea Party rallies, Lawrence Kasdan's reunion saga overshadowed the film it had baldly ripped off. That would be John Sayle's The Return of the Secaucus Seven (1980), although that film was inspired by the 1976 Swiss film Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000. Where the Chill boomers were ex-hippies and the Secaucus Seven revolutionaries, Jonah's gang took part in the May 1968 Parisian protests, a group that caught on quicker than most that their youthful ideals had faded.
Dreamcatcher (2003): It's Stephen King's version of The Big Chill, which naturally includes "ass-weasels," British-accented aliens, Morgan Freeman off his tits and Donnie Walhberg as a mentally slow Scooby Doo fanboy.
The Barbarian Invasions (2003): Canadian filmmaker Denys Arcand's The Decline of the American Empire (1986) is a kind of a mini- Big Chill, set entirely at a dinner attended by aging liberals. Seventeen years later, Arcand caught up with them again as one was dying of cancer, allowing them to take responsibility for their actions and, less charitably, judge the young, totally stupid liberals of circa 2003.
Grown Ups (2010): Four Saturday Night Live alums and—why not?—Kevin James steal the Big Chill/Secaucus Seven/Jonah setup, as well as the name of a good Mike Leigh TV movie, and, following Adam Sandler's lead, use it as little more than a paid lazy vacation for those who really don't need vacations or more money.
I Melt With You (2011): Miraculously worse than Grown Ups, former music video filmmaker Mark Pellington's contribution to this list is the most eventful: Following an hour of OTT drugs and sex, our quartet—including Jeremy Piven and Rob Lowe—turn in the most overwrought pity party since ... nothing. It wins this trophy.
Little White Lies (2012): The longest on this list comes full circle in one sense at least: Like Jonah, it's in French. If only, like the shockingly vanilla 1993 summer camp reunion thing Indian Summer, it were actually about anything other than soap-opera theatrics and, in this case, an entire subplot based on gay panic jokes.

Sailing of state ferry canceledA sailing of the Alaska state ferry LeConte has been canceled.JUNEAU- A sailing of the Alaska state ferry LeConte has been canceled. Tuesday's voyage was canceled because of mechanical issues with the vessel's port engine.
State transportation spokesman Jeremy Woodrow says the problem arose during an attempted sailing of the northern Lynn Canal route from Juneau to Haines and Skagway and back.
According to Woodrow, the LeConte had to turn around.
Mechanics are on board assessing the problem and Woodrow says updates will be provided as available.

Ohio State will host its third commencement address by a sitting president this spring, but that's only half the number tallied by Notre Dame
The White House's announcement last week that Barack Obama would deliver the commencement address at Ohio State University in May of this year marks the third time a sitting president has spoken at the school's graduation ceremonies, joining Gerald Ford in 1974 and George W. Bush in 2002.
In addition to the tradition that recent presidents give such an address at a military service academy (Obama will address the Naval Academy in 2013), the 44th President has also committed to speaking at Morehouse College in Atlanta this spring.
With Obama's visit, Ohio State moves into a tie for second in the nation for hosting the most commencement addresses by a sitting president, but it has a long way to go to pass the all-time leader, located just 275 miles northwest of Buckeye Territory.
A Smart Politics analysis of presidential commencement addresses finds that Notre Dame is the most frequented non-military educational institution at which sitting presidents have delivered commencement speeches with twice as many as the next school.
Sitting presidents have delivered graduation ceremony remarks 92 times to 68 different colleges and universities, plus another 13 at high schools, according to data culled from the Public Papers of the President.
More than 50 graduation addresses have been given at U.S. military service academies or other armed services institutions with 15 at various federal / governmental institutions.
Of these 68 non-military higher educational institutions, the University of Notre Dame leads the way with six.
Dwight Eisenhower was the first to give such a speech at the school on June 5, 1960 when he gave his "Beyond the Campus" address.
Also giving commencement addresses in South Bend were Jimmy Carter (1977), Ronald Reagan (1981), George H.W. Bush (1992), George W. Bush (2001), and Barack Obama (2009).
Counting Obama's visit to Columbus in May, five schools are tied for second hosting three sitting presidents:
· Howard: Herbert Hoover (1932), Harry Truman (1952), Lyndon Johnson (1965)
· Oklahoma State: Richard Nixon (1974), George H.W. Bush (1990), George W. Bush (2006)
· Michigan: Lyndon Johnson (1964), George H.W. Bush (1991), Barack Obama (2010)
· Yale: John Kennedy (1962), George H.W. Bush (1991), George W. Bush (2001)
· Ohio State: Gerald Ford (1974), George W. Bush (2002), Barack Obama (2013)
Nine other colleges or universities have hosted a sitting president twice:
· Baylor: Dwight Eisenhower (1956), Lyndon Johnson (1965)
· Dartmouth: Dwight Eisenhower (1953), Bill Clinton (1995)
· Hampton: George H.W. Bush (1991), Barack Obama (2010)
· Miami Dade: George W. Bush (2007), Barack Obama (2011)
· Penn State: Dwight Eisenhower (1955), Bill Clinton (1996)
· Princeton: Harry Truman (1947), Bill Clinton (1996)
· Texas A&M: George H.W. Bush (1989), George W. Bush (2008)
· South Carolina: George H.W. Bush (1990),George W. Bush (2003)
· University of Texas: Lyndon Johnson (1964), George H.W. Bush (1990)
Overall, Texas' educational institutions have received more visits by sitting presidents on graduation day than any other state.
Presidents have given 11 commencement addresses in Texas - two each at Baylor, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas, with one each at Southern Methodist University, Southwest Texas State College, Texas A&I University (Kingsville), Texas Christian University, and Johnson City High School.
Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. are next with eight each, followed by Michigan with seven, Indiana with six, and Maryland and New Jersey with five.
A total of 19 states have yet to see a sitting president speak at one of their (non-military) educational institutions: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Overall, 88 percent of commencement addresses have been delivered in states carried by the sitting president's ticket (or the president's party in the case of Gerald Ford) in the previous election cycle (91 of 103).
Interestingly, eight of these 12 addresses have been given by the last two presidents with George W. Bush speaking at Yale (CT) in 2001, Concordia University (WI) in 2004, Calvin College (MI) in 2005, and Saint Vincent College (PA) in 2007.
President Obama, meanwhile, gave commencement addresses at Arizona State in 2009, Booker T. Washington High School (TN) in 2011, Joplin High School (MO) in 2012 and will give one at Morehouse College (GA) this spring.
After this spring, President Obama and George W. Bush will have both spoken at Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Miami Dade College.
Presidential commencement addresses have also been given each year at one of the nation's various armed forces service academies with one hosting a sitting president in every year since 1991.
Including Obama's forthcoming 2013 address at the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. presidents have given 21 commencement speeches in Annapolis, Maryland, plus 14 at the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, New York), nine at the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, Colorado), eight at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (New London, Connecticut), and one at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point, New York).
Graduation remarks to armed services personnel have also been delivered once each at:
· The U.S. Naval Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island (Richard Nixon, 1971)
· The U.S. Naval Base Fleet Sonar School in Key West, Florida (Harry Truman, 1949)
· The U.S. Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (Ronald Reagan, 1987)
· The U.S. Army Basic Training ceremony at Fort Jackson, South Carolina (George W. Bush, 2007)
Another 15 addresses have been given by sitting presidents to graduates of the now defunct Capitol Page School, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Academy, the Foreign Service Institute, and the Columbus (Ohio) Police Academy.
President Obama also gave a graduation address to the New Economic School in Moscow in July 2009.

A New Historical Database For The NYSE 1815 To 1925: Performance And PredictabilityWilliam N. GoetzmannYale School of Management - International Center for Finance; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Roger G. IbbotsonYale School of Management; Zebra Capital Management, LLC Liang PengUniversity of Colorado at Boulder July 14, 2000 Yale ICF Working Paper No. 00-13; Yale SOM Working Paper No. ICF - 00-13 Abstract: In this paper, we collect individual stock prices for NYSE stocks over the period 1815 to 1925 and individual dividend data over the period 1825 to 1870. We use monthly price and dividend information on more than 600 individual securities over the period to estimate a stock price index and total return series that extends virtually to the beginning of the New York Stock Exchange. We use this data to estimate the power of past returns and dividend yields to forecast future long-horizon returns. We find some evidence of predictabiity in sub-periods but little predictability over the long term. We estimate the time-varying volatility of the U.S. market over the period 1815 to 1925 and find evidence of a leverage effect on risk. This new database will allow future researchers to test a broad range of hypotheses about the U.S. capital markets in a rich, untouched sample.

'This is just very, very good cooking: intense, and obtusely original, in the sense that it's not rooted in history or region or culinary orthodoxy or fashion. ... It manipulates a worldwide variety of ingredients. - It's all gastronomically, aesthetically and emotionally honest. - [elBulli] is a masterclass in the metaphysics of how, what and why we eat, while still being dinner.'

COLUMBIA — Boone County is considering increasing the weight limit for the Olivet Road Bridge.
The Boone County Commission along with Boone County Public Works Department decided Tuesday to perform tests on the bridge that would determine whether it could take more weight.
Located just south of Route WW outside the city limits of Columbia, the Olivet Road Bridge has a posted 10-ton weight limit for trucks since its construction in 1970.
The county Public Works Department issued a report that said there is the possibility that the weight limit could be raised from 10 tons for all trucks to 18 tons for single unit trucks and 25 tons for all others.
Olivet Road Bridge carried approximately 181 vehicles per day in 2009 according to a traffic count.
Plans are in the works for Olivet Road to carry increased traffic. By 2025, the road could connect New Haven Road, south of Interstate 70, with Route PP, north of I-70.

Ian McKellen Will Play Sherlock Holmes In A New Movie, Is The New Benedict Cumberbatch
Called A Slight Trick of the Mind, it will feature Holmes finally trying to crack the secret of the human heart. Bill Condon, Cumberbatch's Fifth Estate director, is in charge.
Elementary, my dear Frodo.
Sometimes, something makes so much sense that you can't believe it hadn't happened before; Sir Ian McKellen playing Sherlock Holmes in a movie is one of those things. Now the disconnect between the two British legends is no more: McKellen, at 74, will portray the legendary detective in the film adaptation of Mitch Cullin's novel A Slight Trick of the Mind, which will be directed by the Oscar winner Bill Condon.
The plot was described thusly in a release sent out early Thursday:
In 1947, Sherlock Holmes, long retired, lives in a sleepy Sussex village with his housekeeper and her amateur-sleuthing son. But far from living out a peaceful retirement, he is haunted by an unsolved case from fifty years ago. He remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.
With his legendary mental powers on the wane, and without his old sidekick Watson, Holmes is faced with the toughest case of his life — a case that might finally reveal to him the mysteries of the human heart.
Yes, please.
Condon provides sweet connection with our current favorite Sherlock Holmes, as he directed Benedict Cumberbatch in the Julian Assange biopic The Fifth Estate, which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival Thursday night. McKellen and Condon have worked together to great success before, on 2001's Gods and Monsters, for which McKellen earned an Oscar nomination for acting and Condon won Best Screenplay.
This certainly promises to be different than the Robert Downey Jr. adaptation, to say the least. It should also prove to be a world away from CBS's Johnny Lee Miller-led, Sherlock-in-New York adaptation, Elementary. There are a lot of Sherlock Holmes adaptations these days.
McKellen's fall is filled with theater; he just finished a run in Berkeley of Harold Pinter's No Man's Land with his friend Sir Patrick Stewart, and they are bringing the show — along with Waiting for Godot — to New York in October. They also recently wrapped up the latest X-Men movie. How this will impact his role as the newest member of One Direction remains to be seen.
The movie will be co-produced in part by See-Saw Films, which was behind The King's Speech. Icon/AI Films will co-produce and finance the project.

Watch Newsnight on USS, with JER interview : October 2013
Listen to interview with JER & Chairman of the BMA on the Today Programme : June 2012
Listen to interview with Robert Peston on the Today Programme on JER's analysis of public sector pension costs : January 2012
Listen to interviews with JER on the Today Programme on public sector pensions : July 2011 & April 2011
I set up John Ralfe Consulting in 2003 to help companies & trustees to address pension issues in a clear, focused & practical way. (See Financial Times' profiles November 2011 & March 2003).
Until 2002 I was Head of Corporate Finance at Boots and was instrumental in moving the £2.3bn Boots Pension Fund to 100% AAA long dated sterling bonds, followed by a Company share buyback, described by The Economist in 2006 as a landmark.
My clients include FTSE100 & FTSE350 companies, with pension liabilities from £200m to £2.5bn, as well as non-quoted companies, and the trustees of one of the UKs largest university schemes.
In 2012 I appeared as an expert witness on BT's pensions before the Competition Commission, on behalf of BSkyB and TalkTalk, following a report to Ofcom I wrote in 2010. In June 2012 the Competition Commission rejected BT's claim that Ofcom should allow it to re-charge its pension deficit payments to customers.
I am a regular contributor to the Financial Times and
the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme and have appeared on the BBC News at Ten & Channel 4 News.
Over the last ten years I have written over 70 research notes and articles on all aspects of pensions, including a series of 50 notes sponsored by RBC Capital Markets and over 30 comment pieces in the Financial Times' FTfm.
Amongst these notes, I was the first person to highlight the pension position of UK universities (2006), MPs (2008), the Coal Board (2008) and The Church of England (2010), as well as the impact of recent changes to public sector pensions.
I was also a consultant to the Accounting Standards Board on FRS17 and the International Accounting Standards Board on share options.
My practical & pragmatic approach is underpinned by a rigorous framework of economics and I have worked with leading US academics, including Harvard Business School to turn Boots Pensions into a Case Study.
As well as pensions, I have 20 years capital markets & treasury experience, both as a corporate and banker.
Before joining Boots in 1991 I spent 11 years in banking & consulting with Chase Manhattan, Warburgs, Swiss Bank Corporation and Ernst & Young Corporate Finance.
From Grammar School in York I went as an Open Scholar to Balliol College, Oxford, where I got a First in PPE in 1978 & then studied economics at King's College, Cambridge. See biography.
I have now moved most of the topic pages to an archive section, since they have not been updated properly for some time. Much of the commentary and articles are still relevant to todays issues.
I have added a new page on public sector pensions, bringing together many articles which have echoes of the debates 10 years ago in the private sector.
The site, which can be searched and browsed, contains over 1,400 papers & articles on pensions, ranging from academic journals, to Government Papers to newspapers. Copyright for all articles and images remains with the author & original publication. Registration is required to minimise auto-spam mail.
Many of the articles in the database are from the Financial Times which provides unrivalled news and analysis on pensions. Articles from August 2004 are linked to the FT website (the date it started) and the FT allows a limited number of articles to be read in a week before subscription is required.
For FT articles before August 2004, for copyright reasons I can show only a summary.
My FT articles and letters are available as PDFs as well as a link to the FT website.

Movement of pathogens between horticultural crops and endemic trees in the Kimberleys
Burgess, T.I., Ray, M.L., Sakalidis, M.L., Lanoiselet, V. and Hardy, G.E.St.J. (2009) Movement of pathogens between horticultural crops and endemic trees in the Kimberleys. In: APPS 2009 Plant Health Management: An Integrated Approach, 29 Sept - 1 Oct, Newcastle p. 36.
*No subscription required
Recently a survey of endophytes associated with boabs (Adansonia gregorrii) and associated tree species in the Kimberleys, Western Australia has resulted in the description of seven new species in the Botryosphaeriaceae (Pavlic et al. 2008). Additionally several common species of Lasiodiplodia, (L. theobromae, L. pseudoptheobromae and L. parva) were also isolated as endophytes of endemic tree species.
Concurrently, surveys in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) have revealed Mangiferum indica trees showing symptoms of dieback and cankers. In this project we isolated, identified and determined the pathogenicity of fungi associated with these cankers.

The success of the K-Series filter is directly attributable to the innovative Quick-Connect ™ fittings that are incorporated into the design. These fittings are unique in two ways. First, they allow for the installation of the inline filter in a matter of seconds. Inlet and outlet tubes are simply snapped into place and secured using a patented collet system. Second, the fittings are molded directly into the filter body and cap as a single unit. This reduces the chance for weeping or seepage. Cap and body are spin-welded together producting a smooth, consistent seal without the use of glues or binders that can cause comtamination. The result of these design and production techniques is a reliable filter that is fast and easy to install.
One of the primary uses of this product is as a system component. The benefit is derived from the fitting being molded directly into the filter cap, greatly recucing clearance. Shown here (right) is a reverse osmosis system with the traditional 12" x 2.5" filter configuration. Notice that all the filters are uniformly attached. This results in the most efficient use of available space and greater filtering performance in a smaller overall area.
The K-Series filter is available in 6", 8", 10", 12" or 14" lengths manufactured in 2" or 2.5" diameters. The true benefit is that systems can be designed to incorporate the various lengths and diameters - either all the same size or intermixed - to meet specific filtration needs.
