[Retired] Official Lockout Thread
Posted 06 December 2012 - 12:05 AM
Can't wait to read the "Phoenix: I still think it's a hockey market" chapter of Gary Bettman's autobiography. I'm guessing it's going to be chapter 11.

On that note, If****** hate Twitter and it's stupid SSL errors. I don't know what I just did, god forbid I perform a search on the site, and now I can't access it at all due to SSL errors. Can't even add an exception.
For the last 6 months I couldn't use Twitter because of this. Recently it started working, and of course now, nothing. If I can't get this site to work and I work in IT. They done f***ed up.
never had that problem. have you tried using different browsers on your computer?
I don't even have a twitter because I think it is dumb. Most relevant sports related posts on twitter get posted here anyways, so i am cool with that
somebody's gotta have a twitter or else those wouldn't be posted on here lol
I agree. I only get on it to check for breaking news in times like these. And the god damnf****** site won't work when I need it to. Of course.
the only times i really use twitter is during the nhl trade deadline day and the free agency period and now obviously during this lockout
I really miss the days, of having useful, well thought out news on an actual homepage instead of this twitter crap. Guys like MacKenzie, LeBrun and Dreger should stick to using tsn.ca instead of shortmessage-system aka twitter.
As long as nothing has been made official, I will remain skeptical.
those days are long gone. people want news and information as soon as possible because we have all be spoiled by the internet and twitter. they don't care about well thought out news articles.

This podium has already been more of a factor in the regular season than the leafs usually are
I'm enjoying these "podium watch" tweets wayy too much.. gotta love hockey humor.

"The wonder boy does it again! Sidney Crosby not only can play hockey like a God, but he can also save an nhl season. On a side note during celebrations the other 17 players lifted him up in celebration, and he fell to the floor getting a concussion and will be out 1-2 seasons..."

I'm confused! Is there really a podium watch, are they really still meeting!!! What's going on!!!
I dunno, I am tired of waiting. I'm going to bed.
EDIT: I actually just found this, meeting is now over, worth a read

The league's offer Wednesday night offered a raise in money devoted to the 'make-whole' provision. The number in the latest offer jumped to $300 million, up from $211 million in the league's previous offer. The players had previously asked for $389 million, making the owners' latest offer an exact middle ground between the previous offer and the players' demands.
The proposal submitted was for a 10-year term for the next CBA, with rules governing unrestricted free agency and salary arbitration to remain unchanged from last season. The league did not budge on its request for a five-year term limit on player contracts and held firm to a maximum year-to-year salary variance of five per cent.
The league's offer did, however, offer an exception on contract lengths for the re-signing of free agents. Teams would be allowed to re-sign their own free agents to contracts up to seven years in duration.
Bob McKenzie
What the NHLPA will like about NHL offer: status quo on UFA and salary arbitration.
What NHLPA may not like about NHL proposal: $300M Make Whole, up from $211M offer, which more or less splits difference on NHLPA ask $393M.
What NHLPA definitely won't like about NHL offer: 5 year term limit on contracts (except 7 for own UFAs), 5% variance, 10 year term for CBA.
i can't for the life of me figure out why the players want such a short term cba. for one, you know the owners are going to ask for more concessions next time around so why would you want to subject yourself to it after only 5 years, not to mention that the possibility of more lost wages in another lockout. and james mirtle makes a good point::
James Mirtle
Frankly, a 10-year CBA probably helps players in long run. A 50-50 split eight or nine years from now likely means very high average salary.
i also hope that these negotiations don't fall apart on contracting issues that only affect a small minority of players. how many players have signed a contract longer than 5 years in their careers?
and this from grange
According to sources close to the negotiation it was Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller who lost his temper briefly, which seemed to encourage further dialogue, although at another point Boston Bruins hard line owner Jeremy Jacobs threatened to leave the negotiation. At that point a more moderate group of owners including the Pittsburgh Penguins' Ron Burkle and the Tampa Bay Lightning's Jeff Vinik agreed to keep the negotiation going.
jacobs is a complete moron. this guy is way worse than bettman
but it's nice to see these other owners stepping up and making jacobs back down. this should have happened months ago.

Twitter stream coming: that pension issue by mentioned by
@TSNBobMcKenzie is a thorny one. Here's why: pension laws are different in US...
and Canada. US teams can pay approx $20,000 more than Canadians tax-free. So, it's an advantage if you're playing south of border...
because you are shielded from those taxes and Canadian teams making up the difference aren't protected from paying them
Canadian teams want more protection, which is why $50M would be included in make whole. But, players would look at it as...
That's our money already. Was warned today this would be a problem, now I see what it is.
a few more tweets
Darren Dreger
Players may not love the leagues proposal, but, it might be enough to encourage a full membership vote. Make Whole will always be an issue.
Bob McKenzie
Couple of other details emerging: NHL proposal for 10 year CBA term contains an opt-out clause after 8 years. So it could be an 8 year deal.
Of the $300M NHL proposed for Make Whole, $250M is Make Whole and $50M is for pension funding that would not come out of the players' share.
James Mirtle
Been told for months players more likely to give on variance than strict term limit, preserving DiPietro deals. Still believe that the case.
In any event... two sides so close now, how can they NOT get a deal done?
article by lebrun summarizing the day up
and finally a couple more tweets before i log off for the night
Katie Strang
@KatieStrangESPN #CBA Told by multiple sources there is growing concern among union abt current format moving fwd. PA wants no restrictions on who's in room #CBA Some concern that this format could be ploy to drive wedge among union membership. One source described today's session as "bizarre" #CBA No restrictions on who is in room would mean both Don Fehr and Gary Bettman could be back in the fold

Raising the total money in its Make Whole provision to $300 million from the previous offer of $211 million. This is a key move to say the least.
League backs off contracting-rights demands on unrestricted free agency age (27) and salary arbitration, offering to keep both the same;
However, the league stays firm on five-year term limits for contracts and 5 percent salary variance; the only exception is when a team re-signs its own free agent it could go to seven years in term
League wants 10-year term on CBA (union has asked for five-year term).
Seems reasonable to me...Drop the puck already!

Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:18 AM
From what I can understand - the BOG wants a 5 year max on contracts with no more than 5% salary variation from year to year (so no more Franzen type contracts)...I'm thinking this pertains primarily to UFA's.
Do we know for sure if the proposed contract restrictions only apply to new contracts and not existing ones?
Because some time ago in the negotiations there was talk of them applying to current contracts, which is nuts.
However the BOG is willing to accept up to 7 year contracts for re-signing free agents (I'm guessing restricted free agents).
Clear as mud?
Bettman and Fehr are re-joining negotiations today.....worries me big time.
Those 2 clowns are likely to get into a pissing match, and it would most certainly hinder any chance of having a season.
I wish the owners/players themselves could hammer out a deal without Bettman/Fehr in the room.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:30 AM

I don't get it either. On some level I can understand that if they end up getting screwed they can get out earlier, but the more likely scenario (as you mention) is that in 5 years the owners will just lock them out again and try and get even more.
There's an 8 year opt out for both sides. I'm not sure how likely either would be to use it though, as I'm guessing if you opt out that immediately makes your side look like the bad guy headed into a new CBA negotiation. Things would have to be pretty awful for the players for them to use it. I don't know if the opt out has been used in other sports though. Maybe it's not that big of a deal.
Plus there's the 7 year for a re-signing free agents, or something like that. From tweets i've been reading it sounds like it's the combo of 5 year contracts and 5%.
i also hope that these negotiations don't fall apart on contracting issues that only affect a small minority of players. how many players have signed a contract longer than 5 years in their careers?
jacobs is a complete moron. this guy is way worse than bettman
but it's nice to see these other owners stepping up and making jacobs back down. this should have happened months ago.
Though I'd put them at equal morons because Bettman has made Jacobs his right hand man as much or more than Daly. He's given a ton of power to the most hard line owner that even Bruins fans hate.
It sounds like all info and optimism should be taken with a grain of salt.
All I can tell you is there's a really bizarre dynamic right now and so many mixed signals coming from both sides.
4 on 4 mtng last night was brief. PA did not like that dynamic, hence the players insistance on an open room today.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:43 AM
The two biggest dicks rejoin the negotiations after much progress was made without them. Color me shocked.
Bettman and Fehr are re-joining negotiations today.....worries me big time.
Sometimes I wonder why some people are behind the owners or players in this debacle. We remove the cancer that is Bettman and Fehr, and progress is made. Those two come back in the room, and that should worry everyone.

A new movie that was hailed as a groundbreaking film for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) film industry disappeared from the line-up at commercial theaters in December. That movie is called Djinn and tells the story of "An Emirati couple return home from a trip and discover that their new apartment has been built on a site that is home to some malevolent beings."
Of course, I'm eager to see this film. It's more research for me, accompanied by popcorn. I'd love to see a popular cinematic interpretation of the jinn. But it's not to be. My mind runs right to supernatural sabotage. But that's just my fiction imagination in overdrive….or is it? According to this article in The Guardian, the more likely reason is that UAE royal family found the film objectionable because of certain politically subversive messages. Here's the reasoning in The Guardian article:
Then Djinn vanished. It didn't appear at the Dubai film festival, where it had been offered a red-carpet premiere. Promised spring and summer 2012 release dates came and went. It was puzzling: shooting on the story – a Rosemary's Baby-esque spooker set in a fishing village redevelopment in Ras al-Khaimah – was nearly a year back; post-production almost six months gone.
After Djinn's Cannes launch in 2010 hailing the country's entry into the commercial fast-lane and the early rash of publicity in government-sponsored publications, the silence was deafening. With Hooper's imprimatur and an intriguing collision of modern genre thrills and traditional Arabic culture, Djinn had the potential finally to bring global attention to the fledgling UAE film scene ; "a much-awaited film for all our distributors around the world", Fortissimo, Image Nation's international sales agent, was saying. But come the end of the year, more tumbleweed.
Shortly after the London screening, an Italian website, Moviesushi, printed a possible reason for Djinn's disappearance. According to a source on the production: "Someone close to Abu Dhabi's royal family has seen the movie and does not appreciate its portrayal of the UAE, and considers the movie to be politically subversive." The old suspicion surrounding the Emirati industry had risen again: that it was too tightly supervised from above (usually through the National Media Council censorship body) to blossom freely.
This excuse is immediately countered. Other views contend that the Arab Spring heightened Arab pride to the point where there would be little interest in a Western-packaged take on cultural legends. Who really knows? An actual genie might.
The latest news says that Djinn will be released in 2013. We'll see. I'm rubbing my lamp and waiting for the popcorn to pop.
Meanwhile, another film called Djinn was released in 2008 that tells the story of a beautiful woman who is snatched by a genie and must be rescued by her true love who must cross the "three valleys of the Black Desert" to save her. I saw it. It's okay. For a better story, I think you should pick up The Genie Ignites. ; )
Best Wishes,
What Would You Wish For?

Dear Abby: My wife and I are both teachers. She hates to call in sick and often teaches class when she says she feels ill. I don't argue with her.
The problem arises when I am not feeling well. When I am sick and feverish, I'm not inclined to rise from my sickbed and go to work. On those few occasions, my wife objects strenuously. She interrogates me about my symptoms, then makes her own "diagnosis" on the spot. Apparently, her gold standard for staying home is the inability to stand.
This creates a problem for me at work because co-workers are concerned about catching my obvious illness. The last time I felt sick, my wife ordered me to go to work. When I saw a doctor afterward, I was told I had a virus and should be in bed. My wife still objected to my missing work because she considered it to be "just a cough."
I missed a grand total of two days because of it. On one of them I wasn't able to stand, the other because I refused to get out of bed. Then, since I was staying home "doing nothing," my wife insisted I care for our two children (ages 3 and 1), rather than send them to my mother-in-law who baby-sits while we work.
Today a staff member called in sick with the same virus I had. Everyone looked at me as the responsible party.
If I stay home, my wife will dump the kids on me and give me the cold shoulder. If I go to work, I expose my co-workers and perform poorly. Help!
– At A Total Loss in Corpus Christi
Dear Total Loss: It appears you married a woman who is not only lacking in empathy, but also is a controlling, slave-driving witch. Unless you can find the backbone to take control of the situation and stop acting like a victim, your wife will continue to punish you when you're least able to defend yourself – and nothing will change.
P.S. A teacher with a virus can not only infect co-workers and administrative staff, but also his students – not to mention his own children. Please point that out to "Simone Legree."
Bill is not on you
Dear Abby: A number of years ago, when two of my sons got married, I paid for two lovely rehearsal dinners among other wedding costs. Both marriages ended in divorce. Now they are both engaged again and planning weddings for next summer.
My question is, how many rehearsal dinners do I have to pay for? And how many other wedding expenses am I expected to pay for the second time around?
– Mother of Grooms in Virginia
Dear Mother of Grooms: From now on, you do not have to pay for anything. The expenses should be paid for by your sons and their brides-to-be, especially if their fiancees have also been married previously.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Biomarkers—the essential fuel for personalized medicine—play an ever-growing role in drug discovery, clinical development, and, at least for cancer, in the clinic where genomic profiling of individual tumors often informs therapy selection.
Advancing assay technology, improving techniques for working with FFPE tissue samples, and multistakeholder collaborations are all driving factors.
"This is a pivotal time in cancer research," said Brian Leyland-Jones, Ph.D., institute director at the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Institute, and a speaker at GTC's recent "Oncology Biomarkers" conference. "We're going to see this emergence of targeted therapies against individual genomic drivers, whatever their disease is, and breast cancer will be one of the first areas."
The Sanford institute uses systems biology approaches to identify biomarkers. "Looking at one level isn't enough," says Dr. Leyland-Jones. "We are applying several complementary molecular profiling methods to tumor bank specimens from several international clinical trials that include all of the major breast cancer subtypes."
These biomarker sets are being used to predict short-term (such as pathologic complete response) and long-term (such as distant disease free survival and overall survival) outcomes, as well as guide treatment strategies, and identify potential therapeutic targets.
Among several key technologies being used are:
Sanford also plans an initial study of 25 patients, "We will use several platforms (exome sequencing, RNAseq, various detailed protein arrays (e.g., phosphorylation arrays) to try to work out in 25 sequential patients in metastatic breast cancer what the individual drivers are," explains Dr. Leland-Jones.
"Use of mouse models, including mouse avatars, will also be important. Past studies have suggested 10–13 pathway drivers including, for example, DNA repair, metabolism, and angiogenesis.
"I think it is going to be more complicated. It's still anybody's guess. Mine is that it's going to be on the order of 30 to 40 pathways. No matter what it end ups being, I think treatment will require combinations of two or three agents for each of these subsets."
Fast-moving efforts to identify multiple molecular drivers to divide cancer into more subtypes means biomarkers will become increasingly complex biosignatures that change over time under the influence of drug treatment.
It's likely that a combination of tests, not just one, will be required to monitor and tailor therapies informed by these changing biosignatures over the course of the disease, said Matthew Morrison, Ph.D., biology manager, medical diagnostics, GE Healthcare.
"The vision as we see it is to bring together our know-how in molecular imaging (PET and SPECT) and combine this with in vitro diagnostics, bringing in the recent acquisition of Clarient and SeqWright to add pathology and next-generation sequencing platforms," said Dr. Morrison.
He also discussed two experimental GE imaging agents, one targeted toward angiogenesis imaging and the other toward c-met expression, to gauge patient response to therapy.
"These experimental imaging agents, Fluciclatide (the GE RGD PET tracer) and GE-212 (the GE cMet PET tracer), are both being developed as tools to allow drug therapy selection and drug therapy monitoring. This is important at a number of levels," he said.
Targeted cancer therapies are costly and work only in sub-populations. "New agents that allow better use of limited healthcare funds to give the treatment to the right patient are important, and in addition stopping treatment when it is not beneficial or even potentially harmful to the patient is important," added Dr. Morrison.
Roughly 40% of ER+ breast cancer patients treated with anti-estrogen agents become resistant to the therapy. A.G. Pharmaceutical (AGP) has shown that GP88 (progranulin) holds promise both as a marker for resistance and as a target for therapeutic intervention.
In a paper published earlier this year in Breast Cancer Research, AGP's founder and CEO Ginette Serrero, Ph.D., and colleagues wrote, "The survival factor GP88 is a novel prognostic biomarker, predictive of recurrence risk and increased mortality for nonmetastatic ER+ IDC patients. Of importance, our data show that GP88 continues to be a prognostic factor even after five years.
"These results also provide evidence that GP88 provides prognostic information independent of tumor and clinical characteristics and would support prospective study to examine whether GP88 expression could help stratify patients with ER+ tumors for adjuvant therapy."
AGP has developed two tests, one tissue based (IHC) and one for fluids (ELISA) to detect the levels of GP88. Because GP88 is such a strong driver of tumor biology, she said, "those two diagnostics tests can have a life of their own in the current standard of care. That was very important to us because if you develop a test that is only linked to a therapy, and your therapy fails, your test is never going to see the light of day either.

Every owner or manager of a motel, hotel, restaurant, clothing store and every other business that has been or will be negatively affected by the overreaction of the NCAA should determine to oppose the penalties imposed upon Penn State's football program.
As innocent victims who will lose very significant portions of your revenues, especially during the last three years, you should band together and hire the best possible lawyers to sue the NCAA for $100 million, or whatever amount you deem appropriate, to recover your losses.
Many businesses throughout the state will also feel the pinch and should join you in this endeavor.
Also, the do-nothing Board of Trustees should send an appeal to the alumni for contributions to finance this effort. With the largest alumni association of all colleges, a lot of money can be raised to fight the arrogant, vindictive NCAA, which says they won't allow an appeal. But they can be sued.
Sue for enough money to cripple them, and they can be cowed enough to cut the sanctions to one year. No university football program can survive four years of draconian penalties. If not rescinded, Penn State will need 15 tears to recover.

Irish shift to ACC born out of greed
Several things entered my mind when I heard the big news that the Fighting Irish were going to move into the ACC, but why?
Leaving football out is no surprise. Football is their gravy train via lucrative NBC contracts.
Also participating in the ACC with the rest of their sports will give them more money from tournaments, etc. via the ACC.
It comes under the title of "money."
Notre Dame University is greedy.
It is a win-win situation for them. But there is a hidden reason for getting their feet in the front door.
If NBC decides not to give Notre Dame the big money and bails out, Notre Dame simply tells the ACC you can have our ace-in-the-hole - football.
It will still be a win-win situation for both ND and the ACC.
That is why they agreed to play five ACC football teams each year.

Summerville American claimed the 2013 South Carolina Little League Baseball District 2 Minors (age 9-10) Championship Monday with a 7-4 victory over Summerville National.
Noah McGahee earned the pitching win after spending three-plus innings on the mound and surrendering only a few hits. He struck out six batters. Jacob Altman relieved him in the fourth and didn't surrender a single hit to pick up the save.
McGahee also led all batters, going 2 for 3 at the plate with two runs scored. Travis Pope had two RBIs and scored a run for Summerville American.
Sean Farrell led the Summerville National batters, reaching on a single and an error and driving in a run. Jack Luxmore scored two of Summerville National's runs.
With the win, Summerville American advances to the Little League Minors state tournament to be held in Irmo July 11. There, six teams will compete for a state championship in the double elimination tournament.
Summerville National got off to a good start in the District 2 championship series held at Crowfield Little League. Luxmore led off Monday's game and reached on a base on balls. Devon Ennis drove him in with a fielder's choice.
Summerville National then loaded the bases and Ennis scored on a catcher's interference call for a 2-0 Summerville National lead.
Summerville American answered in the bottom of the frame.
Mason Woznac received a base on balls, advanced off a single by McGahee and scored off a single by Dakota Creech. Xavier Silva received a walk to load the bases and then Pope drove in McGahee to tie the game.
The score held until the bottom of the third when Summerville American had its most productive turn at bat.
Creech and Silva both reached on a base on balls and Pope doubled to plate Creech. Eric Vien followed with a single to drive in Silva. Summerville American loaded the bases with another base on balls and then Pope scored on a wild pitch to give his team a 5-2 lead.
Summerville National kept things interesting by scoring two runs in the fourth. After the team loaded the bases, Farrell drove in Luxmore and Nathan Malloy scored on a wild pitch to cut the lead to a run.
Summerville American's final two runs were due largely to errors. In the bottom of the fourth, a high throw on a pick-off attempt allowed McGahee to score.
In the fifth, Tradd Cross reached on a base on balls. He stole second, advanced to third on a high throw during the play and kept running. Summerville National had a chance to make a play at the plate but the throw home was also high.
Altman fanned the first batter in the sixth and got the next two batters to ground out to end the game.
This weekend, Summerville Little League will host the District 2 50/70 Intermediate (11-13) Tournament. The tournament begins Friday at 7 p.m. at the Boundary Street fields. Saturday games are slated to begin at 10 a.m.
Summerville Little League will also host the state Intermediate Tournament beginning on July 6. Later this summer, Summerville Little League will host the District 2 Juniors (13-14) Tournament but a date has not yet been set for that tournament.

A few weeks ago, I turned the ripe old age of 47. My former good friend Buck Frank said to me, "Scotty, you're only three years from taking part in the Golden Games for seniors in Blair County."
Twist the knife in my back, Buck. Just avoid the smell of Ben Gay.
I never had a problem with growing old before. In fact, I used to celebrate it constantly. Ask my family. Ask my friends. I used to throw my own birthday party every May 16 until these two little characters came into my life on May 8, 2003. (Sorry, Dominic and Vincent). My twins stole my thunder along with a lot of potential gift cards, clothes, CDs and DVDs.
Even back in high school, just needing a reason to have a party at my house, I would throw one right around May 16. It was an excuse to invite friends and, I have to admit, I love getting gifts. As I got older, it was a great chance to get the family together before summer and a better chance to receive a present.
On May 16, 2005, I thought I would receive the best birthday yet - my 40th. My wife asked me if I wanted a party, and, of course, I said ... no! (I meant yes, but in stealing a page from almost every woman on this planet, I said one thing and meant another.)
Ann Marie then told me that she was going to go camping with our daughters that weekend. She never did that before so I figured she was planning a surprise party. She asked me to see if I could get off that Saturday, which just happened to be May 16, and I got that day off to watch the boys so she wouldn't need baby-sitting services from the grandparents. I got the day off. What are the odds?
You know what happened? I sat around waiting for a surprise that never came. They actually went camping.
I spent my 40th birthday at a Burger King in Duncansville with twin 2-year-old boys. That was fun. And it's kind of hard to flirt with other moms when your own kids are dumping french fries and chicken nuggets in the shoe bin of a jungle gym.
The way I look at it now, I will turn 50 in three years, and May 16, 2015, is on a Saturday - a perfect night for someone to throw me a 50th birthday bash. Please read between the lines Franco family.
Until then, I will brush up on my bridge and begin honing my shuffleboard skills for the upcoming Golden Games.

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The emerging field of massively parallel cDNA sequencing, or RNA-seq, provides exciting potential to rapidly characterize and quantify transcriptomes. It is a young and evolving field, however, with challenges accompanying advances and opportunities.
"RNA-seq is currently in its early stages much like the way microarrays were 10 years ago," notes Kellie J. Archer, Ph.D., associate professor, department of biostatistics, Virginia Commonwealth University.
"It is a wonderful tool with exciting possibilities. Aside from gene expression, we can look also at exon expression, identify microRNA precursors, etc. Even one run provides an enormous amount of such information. But we first must address a number of important issues."
Dr. Archer says one such challenge is the issue of mapping. "How do we map RNA sequences to a reference genome?
"Mapping sequences in which introns have been removed by cis-splicing can be accomplished, but how do we effectively handle alternative splicing? How do we take quality of reads into account in downstream analyses? There is a lot of research as to the most efficient method to use for mapping, and there are many tools emerging. But it is not yet clear which is the best and most accurate."
A second issue is how to perform statistical analysis.
"With RNA-seq, the assay returns number of reads per sequence, not a continuous variable reflecting relative abundance (as is the case with traditional gene-expression microarrays). If one merges data across samples, several sequences will have zero counts and the data range can be quite large, so the normal distribution no longer holds. Therefore, we can't employ commonly used statistical tests such as t-tests.
"Earlier papers examining technical replicates used a Poisson distribution, but more recent studies involving biological replicates suggest a negative binomial model may handle the overdispersion more accurately."
A third issue is the presence of technical artifacts. "We don't yet know how to address the fact that different RNA-seq technologies aren't directly comparable. Initially it was expected that RNA-seq would reveal the truth about number of transcripts in a sample, but we see artifacts from different high-throughput sequencing technologies."
Dr. Archer believes these problems will be solved, just as they were for microarrays. "The field is definitely moving from the traditional microarray platform in the direction of RNA-seq. Aside from the cost and instrumentation needed, the technical challenges will be solved as the field progresses. Companies are constantly improving their platforms and seeking to give the best sequencing performance at the lowest costs. This field will progressively provide a fuller and complete knowledge of both the qualitative and the quantitative aspects of RNA biology and thus gene expression."
In a recent study in Respiratory Research entitled "Systems-level comparison of host responses induced by pandemic and seasonal influenza A H1N1 viruses in primary human type I-like alveolar epithelial cells in vitro," a research team from China and Canada utilized gene-expression analysis to compare transcriptional responses to infection with a seasonal H1N1 influenza virus or a pandemic H1N1 influenza virus isolated during the 2009 influenza pandemic.
Based on the published data, scientists at Ingenuity Systems tested the ability of a new web-based report to correctly identify expected results and gain biological insights. Using iReport, the Ingenuity Systems researchers not only validated the published results, they also identified additional genes, pathways, and processes involved in seasonal H1N1 influenza compared to pandemic influenza infection from the same data, said Megan Laurance, Ph.D., product manager at Ingenuity Systems.
"Forty-three other genes encoding zinc finger proteins as well as nine other genes encoding small nucleolar RNAs were observed to be downregulated," explained Dr. Laurance. "In addition, cytosolic pattern-recognition receptors were activated in response to seasonal H1N1 infection.
"In less than two days, we were able to confirm the presence of particular pathways and processes using a single tool that tackles both the statistical and biological analyses of gene expression data. iReport expounded upon the findings presented by Lee et al. and provided additional genes of interest for future studies in the areas of transcription and mRNA transport, which are downregulated upon seasonal H1N1 infection but not pandemic H1N1 infection."
GeneGo, a Thomson Reuters Business
Current approaches to deriving genomic biomarkers can produce reasonably accurate biomarkers, but these lack robustness and cannot generally be linked biologically to the endpoint, according to scientists at Thomson Reuters.
One barrier to the more extensive use of these genomic biomarkers is the difficulty in determining the biological relevance of the signatures from the classifying genes identified, limiting their utility for risk assessment, they said.
Via a poster entitled "A Novel Method for Deriving Mechanistically-Anchored Gene Expression Biomarkers," Richard J. Brennan, Ph.D., et al at Thomson Reuters described the development of a new technique for deriving genomic signatures using discrete modules of genes representing a variety of biological pathways and functional categories. They also discussed a two-stage machine-learning approach that identifies individual modules with classification power, and combines them into a meta-signature to optimize predictive performance.
"These 'functional descriptors' have comparable performance to gene signatures for the same endpoint generated using other supervised machine-learning methods," explained Dr. Brennan. "A functional descriptor predicting renal tubule injury was derived with an estimated sensitivity of 81.7% and specificity of 98.0%, comparable to the performance of a standard gene signature on the same training set (83% and 94%, respectively)."
Functional descriptors also encompass information about the pathways and metabolic processes involved, leading to an understanding of the biological relevance of the signature, he continued. Classification of tubule toxicity was based on perturbation of pathways involved in cytoskeletal remodeling, lipid metabolism, vitamin D signaling, and amino acid metabolism among others.
"Functional descriptors therefore hold the promise of combining predictive and mechanistic systems toxicology," added Dr. Brennan.
"The Functional Descriptor™ approach leverages a manually curated knowledge base of functional categories to derive a series of signatures for an endpoint using these predefined gene sets as features. Querying the descriptor set for a class prediction permits an investigation into the contributing biological properties."
Expression Analysis
Officials at Expression Analysis (EA) maintain that RNA-Seq has gained much interest due to the potential performance benefits relative to gene-expression microarrays. They cite a number of expected advantages, including unbiased content, more precise quantification, detection of novel isoforms, and detection of structural variation.
Each of these measures is dependent on the read length, number of reads generated, and other factors that comprise the sequencing strategy," they said.
"There has been some reluctance to switch from array to sequencing-based expression studies because of cost and the availability of bioinformatic tools to support RNA-Seq datasets," explained Steve McPhail, CEO. "Most importantly, there has been no way to compare years of existing array-based datasets to RNA-Seq datasets."
EA recently completed a performance comparison of various RNA-Seq strategies to microarrays in a real-world experimental scenario. The experiment consisted of 15 breast cancer cell lines (five unique lines representing each of three breast cancer subtypes). It revealed that at 12 million sequencing reads there were 25–35% greater number of genes found to be differentially expressed compared to that of microarrays.
The study reportedly also demonstrated a 50% increase in the detection of genes and a 500% increase in isoform detection. At 25 million sequencing reads, the numbers jumped to 40–50% increase in the magnitude of genes found to be differentially expressed, 67% increase in the detection of genes, and a 550% increase in isoform detection.
"EA has developed a tool to map a portion of the sequencing data to Affymetrix probe sets thus enabling researchers to directly compare their existing array-based datasets to RNA-Seq data," said McPhail. "This tool presents data in a CEL file format also allowing researchers to utilize their existing array-based data-analysis pipelines to become familiar with the power of RNA-Seq datasets."
Detailed in a poster entitled "Detection of cancer-associated mutations, rearrangements and gene-expression changes by targeted deep sequencing of FFPE RNA and DNA," a research team described the development of FFPE-compatible targeted RNA sequencing and analysis methods for the study of over 200 cancer-associated genes.
Geoff Otto and colleagues from Foundation Medicine and the Albany Medical College used protocols, validated on cell lines where known mutations and gene fusions (e.g., BCR-ABL1) were detected, to characterize 49 FFPE non-small-cell lung cancer tumors.
Technical reproducibility in digital expression profiling exceeded r>0.99 and >0.95 for cells lines and FFPE RNA, respectively, according to the scientists, who added that RNA-seq provided evidence of alterations in the genome, including point mutations and novel rearrangements involving known oncogenes.
Differential expression of oncogenes including EGFR, KIT, and RET was also revealed, ranging from 2- to 50-fold across different tumors. Combination of RNA and DNA sequencing data on identical FFPE samples corroborated functional consequences of genomic alterations. Examples included expression of mutated KRAS and TP53 alleles and reduced STK11 expression in a tumor that had a homozygous deletion at the DNA level.
Foundation Medicine used Illumina's HiSeq 2000 system for detection of mutations in cancer samples. The scientists reported that they were able to achieve a high level of sensitivity for detecting mutations in cancer-related genes without any apriori assumptions on the specific mutations.
"Application of [Illumina's] next-generation sequencing technologies to FFPE RNA and integration with extant DNA sequencing methods is anticipated to expand our understanding of clinically relevant cancer biology and improve patient care," noted the researchers, who conclude that targeted RNA-seq of FFPE RNA is highly reproducible and preserves transcript abundance.
"RNA-seq results were highly concordant with DNA-seq, and 93% of somatic hotspot mutations were detected along with several gene fusions," the scientists pointed out. "Integration with DNA-seq enabled comprehensive molecular profiling of a FFPE tumor sample with high sensitivity and specificity to mutations, copy number alterations, gene fusions and changes in gene expression."

It's been two years since Twilight star Nikki Reed and American Idol alum Paul McDonald tied the knot, and on Oct. 16, the couple celebrated their anniversary with a date night full of pampering.
"We kept it low key this year," Reed told PEOPLE at the Unlikely Heroes Award dinner and gala Saturday night. "So we went to a midnight spa session. It's amazing. This place called Voda Spa on Santa Monica. We did a couples thing."
Reed, who also performed on stage with her husband at the event to raise awareness against human trafficking, says she's learned a lot about marriage over the past two years.
"It's important to communicate and stay on the same page," said Reed. "With what we do for a living, it's important we make each other know they come first."

TRUCKEE, Calif. — To quote Jimi Hendrix, "Music is my religion." And, like many Truckee residents, I am a "Bay Area Transplant." My husband and I have always loved the cultural offerings of the city, but grew weary of its negatives — traffic, crime, etc.
We moved to Truckee 16 years ago because of the obvious — its scenic beauty, outdoor activities, and close-knit community. But, we still miss some of the positives of the San Francisco. Which is why when we find a place that reminds us of the city, it's a huge score. Moody's has always been one of those places for us. But, fairly recently, I discovered that Moody's has even more to offer than just great music, ambiance, food and beverage — it offers an annual jazz camp for kids with instructors who are world-renowned musicians at no charge!
For the past 7 years, the host of this event, JJ Morgan, has assembled highly acclaimed jazz musicians to educate our children about jazz and promote a passion for making music. For five days, more than 50 kids ranging in age from 10-17 have the unbelievable opportunity to train with the best of the best. Each day they learn a new song, and every day they are taken on a different musical journey through the various jazz genres — from traditional jazz, to blues, funk, reggae/ska and New Orleans jazz. They begin each morning with an introductory lesson, then split up into breakout groups depending on which type of instrument they play — be it horns, strings or drums. They then come together at the end of the day to perform as a group. These talented instructors encourage the kids to improvise and take chances with solos — every solo ending in a supportive round of applause. On the last day, they parade through downtown Truckee "New Orleans" style and then march back to Moody's for a final performance for the parents.
As a parent of two children (one of whom was old enough to participate this year), I was tremendously grateful. As a music lover, I was in heaven. Parents were invited to stay for the day, so every morning I made a point of hanging around for the introductory lesson and an "on the fly" performance by some of the most talented musicians I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. Not only is the camp an opportunity of a lifetime for the kids, but every night during the camp these extraordinarily talented musicians jam in the lounge at Moody's and invite the students to jam with them — also, for free!
Most of the musicians have returned year after year for this event. Not for the money (of course) but for the love of teaching and sharing their extensive knowledge and passion for music with our children. The lineup included the leader of the group, Adam Theis, from San Francisco, amazing trombonist, composer, founding member of the Jazz Mafia and member of Shotgun Wedding Quintet; Deszon Claiborn, also from San Francisco on drums; Liberty Ellman from New York on guitar; composer Todd Sickafoose, also from New York on upright bass; Grammy nominated Peter Apfelbaum from New York on piano; Grammy nominated composer/producer Ben Wendel from New York on saxophone; and our own tremendously talented Brian Hess of Quartet Minus One on saxophone. I must give honorable mention to one of my favorite multi-year participants who couldn't make it this year but very much wanted to, Dublin — rapper extraordinaire of Shotgun Wedding Quintet.
Planning, organizing, funding and hosting this event is, needless to say, no small feat, but is clearly a labor of love for JJ. This last year was particularly challenging due to the economy, but when asked if JJ would consider charging a fee for the camp, he unequivocally responds with a "No." While he also appreciates everything the Truckee/Tahoe area has to offer in terms of its beauty, outdoor sports, etc., he recognizes the lack of support and funding for music and the arts. By providing the children of our community this opportunity (at no charge) to learn and be exposed to such talent and music of the highest quality, he is promoting an appreciation for music and all that it does for the minds, the hearts and the souls not only of our community's children but the community as a whole.

...The title says it all. :3 Before I knew what anime was, I watched Pokemon, Digimon, and Dragonball Z. But then, after I had learned what anime was, I started watching Inuyasha, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Full Metal Alchemist. And it just escalated from there. ^__^
i found anime on adult swim. Started watching futurama and family guy then left it on for inuyasha and fullmetal alchemist and cowboy bebop and.....it snow balled out of control from there. "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
although I didn't start with family guy or futureama but I did with Inuyasha and FMA."Soon the ashe's of your past shall burn again."
I could remember a show i saw when i was about maybe hmmmm 14 or 13 i saw anime which i didn't know later. It was on a spanish station in NY and on saturday night when 11:00 pm strikes chinese TV or I remember Nippon TV come on with Raiden about a giant Robot fighting aliens i recall. Later on Thundercats and that show which I cant remember the title that has a space battleship fighting aliens and stuff. and DBZ, Pokemeon,Robotech,Exosquad the american anime, I think thats all at this point i cant remeber much more getting a headache thinking about it.I live by the guns on my hips and the swords on my back.
Was Sailor Moon was my favorite anime from all my life. Tell me where girl... Your eyes draws the fate of those things I love to you...

my first animes go back a long long time ago, before i even knew what anime was as well. it was after i looked up some of the children shows i used to watch when i was... between 4 and 9 years old. i think i saw my first anime in 1991 (around there). in english it was called "The Littl' Bits", in japan (it came out in 1980 there) it was called "Mori no Yogi na Shojintachi: Berufi to Rirubitto" translated: "Cheerful Dwarves of the Forest: Belfy and Lillabit" (the japanese name info is from retrojunk.com) but yeah that was my first, not sure if there was or could be a first before that, since i was about 5 years old at that time..
the first one i seen thats an anime would be the thunder cats. never knew that was anime untill now

hmn...i think DBZ,i had seen it since i was young while pokemon i`d seen it when i was in high school...it`s my opinion^^...what`s urs^^
You guys are really young...i have spent an eternity of watching toons andpokemon and those guys cannot be classed as anime... the arecartoons.... The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
Well then I guess I have spent 2 eternities watching toons... LOL!!! Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
i don't know if u would classify it as an anime but speed racer was a japanese cartoon i always watched when i was younger but i didn't find that until a couple of weeks ago lol. But after that DBZ was the second i think
By the way does any1 remeber that show ronin warriors it came on a long time ago i remember watchin it. and it was a good show
Mine probably started with Dragonball and DBZ along with pokemon on toonami waaaaay abck when then i finally noticed adult swim. I started watchin Futurama, Cowboy bebop, trigun, case Closed, and Lupin on there. it only grew from there. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
Well I guess the first real anime I ever watched was Inuyasha on Adult Swim. But I used to watch Pokemon and Dragon Ball with my kids... Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
but its between speedracer thundercats or cyborg009to think is to know....but to know is all ,at least that is what some might say...
i don't know the name but it was about five years ago and it was on adult swim it was about Alexzander the great anyone know the name of itAnd Shepherds we shall be.For thee, my Lord, for thee.Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.So we shall flow a river forth to theeAnd teeming with souls shall it ever be
Hey Gin, have you ever watched Samurai Deeper Kyo? I'm watching in on tv-links streaming video and it is really cool! Has a great story line. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
Riegn The Conqueror, if I remember correctly. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
I'm giving away a my age with this, But Starblazers was my first anime. I saw the first two seasons but never got to see the third. My next brush with anime was the old sci-fi anime marathon (about 10 years ago) with the Galaxy Express 999 movies and I think Akira, Kashan robot fighter was on there as well. I have been hooked on almost every series on adult swim since it started Edit: My very first anime was the old Battle of the Planets (G-Force, bird costumed hero's)
Galaxy RangersThunderCatsBeast WarsBatmanThose are some of the first I've seen excluding the toonsand when i mean young i mean young in the business of watchinganime.... because pokemon is relatively new..... no offence NijiI mean being called young is a compliment even for someoneof your calibre.... The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
Konnichiwa DemonicDarkMaster,No offence taken... you are right pokemon is pretty new... I remember Batman & used to watch it...it was really good. I also used to watch the other "super hero" shows when I was a kid ( that was a very, very longtime ago *grinning* ) Anyway, thanks for your compliment....What "toons" are you refering to? Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana "If you listen to the world, you'll hear all kinds of false claims about morality. But the gospel offers an unchanging standard of truth."
StarBlazers and Robotech were my first ones, along with the one where they dressed up in helmets and capes that looked like birds, damn, I forgot the name of it as I started to write this. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
Or Battle of the Planets, I guess depending on location it was played
It was G-Force!!! That was the name of the show! People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.

Officials pulled a body from the Tygart River after it was discovered around 1 p.m. Monday, officials said.
The Elkins Police Department, which is investigating the situation, confirmed Monday afternoon that a body was recovered from the water, but would release no further information.
"A body was found," Patrolman G.E. Sigley said, but would not elaborate on the person's identity. Sigley said the cause of death was unknown, and that it was unclear how long the body had been in the water.

The Inter-Mountain photo by Anthony Gaynor
Members of the Elkins Fire Department work to secure a body to their boat Monday after the body was discovered in the Tygart River behind the Easy Street Apartments. Several residents gathered across the river on Barron Avenue to view the scene. Randolph County Coroner Brenda Dailey and the Randolph County Emergency Squad also responded to the scene.
The Elkins Fire Department was called to the scene to retrieve the body from the river. It appeared the body was caught on tree limbs in the water. Randolph County Corner Brenda Dailey was also on the scene Monday.
Once news about the situation began to spread, a group of residents gathered along the river on Barron Avenue. Several people used cell phones to take pictures of the efforts to retrieve the body.
Sigley and 2nd Lt. E.R. Canfield were on the scene behind the Easy Street Apartments along with Dailey and members of the fire department, including Chief Tom Meader.
Dailey could be seen pointing towards the body and giving direction to EFD members on how to retrieve the body.
The fire department launched a small red and white boat, owned by one of the members, from the Scott Ford Road boat launch, a fire department representative said. Three firefighters used rope to secure the body to the boat and traveled back toward the launch before removing the body from the water.
The Randolph County EMS also responded to the scene.

For years, the Buffalo Bills have stressed the need to make Ralph Wilson Stadium more family- and kid-friendly, especially after widespread complaints from fans giving up their season tickets because of rowdiness in the stands.
Now, as part of a proposed agreement being added to the new stadium lease, the Bills and Erie County have agreed to more than double the county's police presence inside and outside the stadium.
The Bills want 128 more Erie County sheriff's deputies or officers from other agencies to patrol Ralph Wilson Stadium on game days, with the team picking up the cost.
Also Monday, NFL owners voted to approve the new lease agreement among the Bills, New York State and Erie County.
The Bills, the state and the county reached a memorandum of understanding on a 10-year lease extension in December that will provide for $130 million in renovations to Ralph Wilson Stadium. The owners are convening at the NFL's annual meeting in Phoenix.
"On behalf of Ralph Wilson and the entire Bills organization, we are pleased to announce that NFL ownership today approved the financial terms and conditions of our new lease for, and the renovation of, Ralph Wilson Stadium," said Russ Brandon, Bills president and chief executive officer, in a statement. "This is another important step in the process toward finalizing the related definitive agreements and remaining on schedule to begin the improvements this year. We anticipate the final approval by the Erie County Legislature and the New York State Legislature in the next couple weeks."
The goal of the extra deputies is to beef up security inside and around the stadium, with uniformed officers who would supplement private security guards employed by the team and sheriff's deputies already providing traffic patrols, Deputy County Executive Richard Tobe said.
"We've got to get the stadium back to a family environment," Undersheriff Mark N. Wipperman told county legislators last week. "And we're up to the challenge."
Erie County legislators are planning a public meeting today to discuss details of the lease agreement, including the beefed-up security detail.
The extra sheriff's deputies at the stadium would more than double the number of deputies working during a typical game. The county provides between 85 and 90 deputies for traffic patrols, arrests and other tasks and will continue to provide them, Wipperman said.
There's no question about the need for a larger police presence.
For years, Ralph Wilson Stadium has carved out a reputation for having a passionate fan base and being a top-flight tailgating venue. Unfortunately, it's also been known as one of the rowdiest stadiums in the league.
And the team's attempts to make it a more fan-friendly atmosphere were hurt last season with the deaths of two fans who had attended the Miami game Nov. 15. One was struck by a taxi and died 2½ months later, while the other's body was found in a nearby creek the next morning.
In recent years, the Bills have implemented several changes to try to improve the game-day behavior. Those include an easier way for fans to report abuses in the stands, through telephone and texting numbers; creating a more visible police presence; offering free cab rides to some ejected fans and encouraging the use of designated drivers; opening stadium lots an hour later, to reduce pregame drinking; instituting the "Make Mom Proud" campaign; and blocking ejected fans from returning or buying tickets until they complete a four-hour online course.
The Bills' latest move gets high marks from a native Buffalonian – and national stadium expert – who's been a previous critic of the stadium's rowdiness.
Hans Steiniger, a 1993 Lancaster High School graduate who's been on a mission to visit all 31 NFL stadiums (www.questfor31.com), once called Bills fans "possibly the worst-behaved fans" in the league. Since then, he thinks they've moved to somewhere in the middle of the pack, thanks to an increased security presence inside the stadium the last few years.
"I think it's a great move," he said Monday of the new lease provision. "My criticism of the security force years ago, it seemed like retired folks and college kids. I think with an added real police presence – people who know how to handle themselves – you'll have fewer incidents in the stadium."
Some observers say that beefing up the security detail, with professional officers who know how to defuse tense situations and enforce the stadium rules, may be the most effective way to reduce rowdiness.
The Bills sought the additional deputies during negotiations over renewing the team's lease agreement for the county-owned stadium.
"We are working collectively with the county to ensure the safety and fan experience for all of our guests by increasing the number of uniformed law enforcement officers at the stadium on game days," said Russ Brandon, Bills president and CEO. "Our Fan Behavior Policy remains a crucial element of our game-day operation, and we feel that this addition is an important step forward in implementing the policy."
Chief of Special Services Scott R. Patronik said the Sheriff's Office has had several meetings with Bills security staff to identify critical areas where they have had concerns or seen incidents in the past. In addition to posts inside the stadium, there will be deputies stationed outside the gates where crowds form waiting to enter.
"We took a real close look with the Bills security at where they feel potential issues are," Patronik said, "where we could get our biggest bang for the buck, actually having uniformed law enforcement in those particular positions."
Tobe said the Bills have agreed to reimburse the county for the cost of providing the additional deputies on game day, which he estimated at between $400,000 and $450,000 a year. The county and the Bills will split the estimated $80,000 insurance cost the county will need to cover the deputies' actions, and the county will continue to cover the cost of the deputies who handle traffic control.
Details of the proposed new security agreement between the county and the team emerged last week, when Tobe updated county legislators on details of a 10-year lease deal struck in December among the county, the Bills and New York State.
Tobe told county legislators that the new security agreement is one of the only significant changes from a memorandum of understanding that outlines the terms of the new lease. In December, when the deal was announced, the county and the team still were negotiating the extra security.
The county likely will hire deputies from neighboring counties, as well as police officers from area towns, to work part time so the county can provide enough deputies for each game, Wipperman said.
"From the Bills to the sheriff to the county, everybody's priority is the safety of the fans," Patronik said.

Blue/Orange Joe Penhall's Olivier Award-winning Blue/Orange is a caustically funny play about race and the mental health system. In a London psychiatric hospital, an enigmatic patient (Rico Parker) claims to be the son of an African dictator--a story that seems unnervingly plausible.

CHARLES TOWN - In an instant, Charles Town Mayor Peggy Smith gave the signal that it was time for Christmas celebrations to begin, as she carried on the town's tradition of lighting the Christmas tree at the old courthouse on Washington Street Friday evening.
The illumination of the tree lets the rest of the town know it's time for the citizens and businesses to turn their lights on too, Smith said.
"This tree has been here a very long time, and it's our tradition. When we light the tree is the sign for the whole town to go ahead and light their buildings," Smith said.

Mayor Peggy Smith lights up downtown Charles Town with the illumination of the town's Christmas tree.
Each year the annual tree-lighting has drawn in more and more spectators, from years past, with few people attending, to now when the street has to be blocked off for the festivities.
For the last seven years, Smith placed a yellow ribbon on the tree in support of the nation's soldiers. Although a slight miscommunication caused the ribbon to not appear Friday evening, she said it would soon be sitting among the branches.
Sophomore members of Washington High School's chamber choir, Elizabeth Buscher, Amanda Tamplen and Afsoon Sabette, said they were in attendance to bring merriment to the crowd by singing 'O Holy Night.'
"We hope to bring everyone excitement for the holiday season," Tamplen said.
"And love," Sabette added.
Additional performances included selections by Donnie Hawkins, Althea Tyrell and Erin and Ireland Delaney.
Smith encouraged community members and visitors alike to support the local businesses downtown when shopping for gifts. Today is 'Small Business Saturday,' and she said this is a wonderful way to support the community.
"It's just so wonderful to see such a large crowd, and what a nice night," Smith said.
Charles Town will continue its holiday spirit during the Christmas parade and breakfast with Santa next Saturday.
