Genome and Transcriptome Analysis of Cereal Grasses
Modern crop improvement increasingly relies on large DNA and RNA sequencing datasets obtained by inexpensive high-throughput sequencing methods. The Garvin lab is employing such datasets for improvement of both wheat and oat. Wheat research is targeting the enhancement of disease resistance through discovery and deployment of novel genes associated with nonhost resistance to the disease stem rust from the model grass Brachypodium distachyon. This project involves a novel method for rapid mapping of genes implicated in natural variation for stem rust resistance in Brachypodium, which relies on mapping DNA-based short reads to the reference Brachypodium genome sequence to identify islands of high SNP frequency in which the genes reside. Secondly, wild rice is an important niche grain for Minnesota agriculture. There are very few in genome resources for this crop. Thus, this group is developing transcript assemblies of wild rice as a new genome resource for marker development and identification of genes implicated in fungal disease resistance. Lastly, the researchers are developing a transcript assembly for oat, the sixth most important cereal grain crop in the world. There is a dearth of genome resources for oat. Thus they are using RNA-Seq to develop a gene expression atlas of developing oat seeds as well as quantifying the expression of genes in metabolic pathways responsible for synthesis of health-promoting compounds. The size of the datasets for these projects necessitates the computing power of MSI resources for this research.

Smartphone apps help you find cheaper gas in a hurry
Gasbuddy and others becoming popular
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - When it comes to saving money on gas the most popular app seems to be Gasbuddy. It's free and once it's on your phone, a quick tap will show you the cheapest prices wherever you are. I tested it on Little Road in New Port Richey, and it was dead on.
Regular gas was $3.55 a gallon at a Sunoco, matching the price shown on Gasbuddy. But less than a mile away you could find it for $3.49 at the Mobil, the Hess, and the 7-11 next door. If you checked your phone first, you would saved about a buck.
In Tampa, the range is greater, with some stations selling gas for 13 cents more a gallon.
And in St. Petersburg, Gasbuddy accurately shows a Sunoco on Tyrone Boulevard at $3.69 a gallon. That's as much 30 cents more than other stations around town.
Gasbuddy co-founder Jason Toews told me use of the app has tripled in recent weeks. He says they get about 5 million visits a day.
"When you need gasoline and you look down at your fuel gauge, you realize you are out of gas. You are in your car already. You can just pull up your iPhone application or Android application and find cheap gas right near you," said Toews.
Gasbuddy actually relies on everyday people to report gas prices in their neighborhood. They are called spotters.
"The idea is that if we have a whole bunch of people reporting in these gas stations it becomes a lot easier to find the cheap gas," said Towes.
There are others including a free app called 'Where to.' It is also useful, but gas prices on that app didn't seem to be as current.
If you don't have a smartphone, you can still access Gasbuddy and the others on the web. But you'll have to remember to do it before you leave home.
Editor's note: Gas Buddy helps ABC Action News find the lowest gas prices in the Tampa Bay area .

I had to drive my sister to Baraboo today, so I decided to grab a couple of WGA SP caches.I really enjoy visiting this SP! The mature pines, the rock formations, and this is my first winter visit. Nice walk to the cache, having first circled Echo Rock. Plenty of thick ice and a few fishermen out recreating. Circled in to GZ so as not to leave a trail in the snow.Looking forward to visiting again next May, when the WGA holds it's annual Campout here! T-TB L-TB SL TFTC WGA!

Anyone with a New Idea is a Crank Until the Idea SucceedsMonday, November 12th, 2012
I was reminded of that famous quote from Mark Twain recently in a Twitter exchange about the web presence optimization framework. Although the framework has been for the most part enthusiastically embraced (and dozens of people have downloaded the framework white paper), a few people on Twitter questioned the need for a "new" marketing concept.
While "search plus social plus content" is inarguably inelegant, it was suggested that other terms such as "online marketing" or "inbound marketing" already covered the concept of web presence optimization (WPO). Although those are clearly important concepts, they don't cover the spectrum of an organization's web presence and related activities, which is why the WPO model was introduced nearly three years ago.
Since its introduction, the concept has been embraced by tools vendors and covered in publications like iMedia Connection, Search Engine Watch, Business2Community and Social Media Today, and Website Magazine.
Nevertheless, the point raised on Twitter is valid: a number of overlapping terms in use address at least parts of the digital marketing and PR mix. Perhaps the definitions below will help to clarify the role of WPO as an overarching management framework.
Web Presence Optimization (WPO)
Web presence is essentially web visibility; it's about being as ubiquitous and easy-to-find as possible when buyers are searching for information about what you and your competitors sell. Anything about your company or products that appears somewhere online—whether owned, earned or paid content—contributes to your web presence.
Tracking over time and against competitors as well as managing and continually improving this for relevant, maximum exposure is optimization. By using unified metrics, you can manage and coordinate the efforts of specialists in various disciplines, including content development, social media, SEO, PR, online advertising, and reputation management, resulting in efficient and effective optimization of an organization's total web presence in order to drive business results.
Content Marketing
According to content management guru Joe Pulizzi, "Content marketing is the marketing and business process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action. A content marketing strategy can leverage all story channels (print, online, in-person, mobile, social, etc.)."
Content marketing is arguably one component of WPO even though it includes offline venues such as print which don't contribute to web presence. It's also focused on owned (internally produced) media and does not include metrics or competitive benchmarking.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Per BusinessDictionary.com, SEO is "the process of improving traffic to a given website by increasing the site's visibility in search engine results. Websites improve search engine optimization by improving content, making sure that the pages are able to be indexed correctly, and ensuring that the content is unique."
SEO includes technical factors (making sure sites load quickly and are easy to crawl), content factors (keyword research, content optimization, meta tags) and linking factors (building internal and external links).
While SEO is affected by PR and social media activities, metrics, and competitive actions, it's internally focused (owned media), cannot be used to manage PR or social media marketing activities (except as they relate specifically to website optimization) and is separate from paid search or other online advertising activities.
Inbound Marketing
In the words of HubSpot co-founder and CEO Brian Halligan, inbound marketing is "where you help yourself 'get found' by people already learning about and shopping in your industry. In order to do this, you need to set your website up like a 'hub' for your industry that attracts visitors naturally through search engines, the blogosphere, and social media."
Like WPO, inbound marketing incorporates metrics, content creation and optimization, social media, and (in some cases) search engine marketing. Valuable as it is, however, it doesn't provide the overall online visibility management framework that WPO does because the latter also includes PR, online advertising, competitive benchmarking and earned content.
One element that none of the above concepts address, but is addressed in WPO, is that third-party content (from customers, journalists, bloggers or other influencers) has value in influencing the buyer's decision-making process, even when it doesn't lead directly to a lead or sale. Third-party content is often viewed as more objective and credible than company-produced content, making it critical to track, measure and share.
Online Marketing
According to About.com, "Online Marketing is the art and science of selling products and/or services over digital networks, such as the Internet and cellular phone networks. The art of online marketing involves finding the right online marketing mix of strategies that appeals to your target market and will actually translate into sales."
Though it incorporates SEM, online advertising, search optimization, and content marketing, online marketing is transaction-oriented: it's focused on activities that lead directly to sales for generally low-consideration items including frequently-purchased or impulse-buy consumer goods and low-value business supplies.
WPO, in contrast, has a broader focus on earned content (e.g. social and press) and overall online visibility, which is important for high-value, considered-purchase consumer goods and b2b sales where web research may lead to an online or offline sale.
Internet Marketing
While this was originally an umbrella term for various types of activities similar to online marketing, Marketing Land notes that the term has since become to large extent co-opted by get-rich quick hoaxes, pyramid schemes and other scams.
As WPO is all about building online credibility, it's the farthest thing from Internet marketing.
All of which means…
In the end, the Twitterers' concern about buzzword proliferation isn't misplaced. Buzzwords are often used to obscure, confuse, or spin. But WPO genuinely illuminates the actionable key metrics of online visibility, enabling marketing executives to make smart decisions about coordinating PR, SEO, SEM, social, and content marketing efforts.

Marya Von Brandt
Despite efforts to prove the teen was "overwhelmed, incoherent and dissociated", Marya Von Brandts statements to police will remain as evidence in the second-degree murder trial against her.
Judge Thomas Mountjoy has ruled that Von Brandt knew her rights when she talked to police after the Nov. 6, 2012 shooting of Kevin Engh, 41.
Von Brandt is accused of killing Engh after allegedly admitting to fighting over a gun. Police said Engh had paid Von Brandt for sex in the past.
Engh was found dead in the drivers seat of a black Mitsubishi at an apartment complex on East Grand Street. Von Brandt was found near the vehicle, after witnesses called police to report a woman who appeared to be bleeding.
Von Brandts attorney, Branden Twibell, had arguedvia an expert psychologistthat the then-18-year-olds statements to police should not be admissible in court.
"She functions more like a child than an adult," psychologist Kent Franks said, according to the motion.
She was nearly 19 years old when it happened, but emotionally, the expert said, Von Brandt was only 9 or 10 years old.
Von Brandt was suffering from multiple psychiatric disorders, meth withdrawals and a regressed mental state when she agreed to speak with Springfield police, Franks noted. He went on to say, in a dismissal motion, that Von Brandt had in the past suffered physical and sexual abuse at the hands of family members.
"She is extremely immature for her age and did not graduate from high school," the motion said.
Franks said she didn't remember the shooting or speaking with police.
Police said Von Brandt's story changed often during hours of questioning.
One version involved her going to an apartment near Park Central Square for meth. Once in the vehicle, the story goes, Engh requested oral sex, he hit her with a gun, she fought for the gun and shot Engh.
Von Brandts trial is set for May 19.
