Perhaps nothing is more emblematic of the frustration Americans felt during the October government shutdown, which cost the economy an estimated $24 billion, than the furor over the shuttering of more than 400 federal national parks. Republicans accused Democrats of keeping veterans from seeing the World War II monument in Washington, DC. Democrats blamed the Republicans (who effectively held the nation's budget hostage for 16 days until they couldn't politically afford to anymore) of seizing the park issue to distract from the economy. But now, the US National Park Service—which lost $450,000 a day in park entry and activity fees during the shutdown—has a new message for Congress: No, we're not going prepare for another government shutdown, because you need to do your job.
The smack-down took place at a hearing last week before the House Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation, which weighed in on a new bill introduced by Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) in October. The Provide Access and Retain Continuity (PARC) Act, which has 17 Republican co-sponsors, would allow states to keep national parks operating in the event of another shutdown and would make them eligible for reimbursement by the federal government. (During the shutdown, six states entered into a similar agreement.) Right now, the government is only funded until January 15, meaning that Republicans could potentially pull the same shenanigans all over again in 2014. Stewart tells Mother Jones, "This bill is designed to provide some safeguards to local communities that rely heavily on access to public lands in the event that a shutdown does occur."
According to a National Park Service spokesman, more than 11 million people were unable to visit parks during the shutdown, and the park service lost about $7 million in park entry fees. The Park Service also estimates that communities within 60 miles of a national park suffered a collective negative economic impact of $76 million for each day of the shutdown. But Bruce Sheaffer, Comptroller of the National Park Service,testified that the agency "strongly opposes the bill." He said:
We have a great deal of sympathy for the businesses and communities that experienced a disruption of activity and loss of revenue during last month's government shutdown and that stand to lose more if there is another funding lapse in the future. However, rather than only protecting certain narrow sectors of the economy...from the effects of a government shutdown in the future, Congress should protect all sectors of the economy by enacting appropriations on time, so as to avoid any future shutdowns.

However, rather than only protecting certain narrow sectors of the economy...from the effects of a government shutdown in the future, Congress should protect all sectors of the economy by enacting appropriations on time, so as to avoid any future shutdowns.
Sheaffer took issue with other parts of the bill, noting that forcing the Park Service to rely on state revenue would be "a poor use of already strained departmental resources" and would "seriously undermine the longstanding framework established by Congress for the management of federal lands." While Sheaffer didn't object to another GOP-backed bill on the table—the Protecting States, Opening National Parks Act, which would reimburse states for National Park expenses incurred during the October shutdown—he concluded that planning for another shutdown "is not a responsible alternative to simply making the political commitment to provide appropriations for all the vital functions the federal government performs."
Scheaffer's position had support from Rep. Raul Grijalva, (D-Ariz.), who told Cronkite News Service at the hearing, "We shouldn't be coming up with doomsday preparations." But Stewart says, "The [Park Service] opposition is odd and misses the point. Of course the preferred course of action is to avoid future lapses in funding." He adds, "While I cannot predict the future, I do not anticipate another shutdown during the 113th Congress."
When Mother Jones asked the National Park service whether it considered the GOP's fixation on funding national parks a way to deflect blame away from the shutdown, a spokesman said, "Your question asks us to speculate on an issue. We don't do that."

Over the past month, the House and Senate have been working to come up with a compromise farm bill—the five-year piece of legislation that funds agriculture and nutrition programs. The main sticking point is the level of cuts to the food stamp program. House Republicans want to cut $40 billion from the program, while the Senate wants to trim $4 billion. Last week, the talks fell apart, and the two sides are fighting over why.
A Democratic aide tells Mother Jones that House Speaker John Boehner shot down several informal compromise farm bill proposals because the food stamps cuts were not deep enough. Boehner's spokesman denies this.
The Democratic aide says the joint House-Senate panel that is trying to work out a deal presented Boehner with a few proposals that contained food stamps levels close to what the Senate wants. Even though Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.)—the chairman of the House agriculture committee and a top member of the compromise panel—was willing to give a lot of ground to the Senate on food stamps, he says, Boehner rejected the proposals. "Boehner is playing spoiler," he adds. "That's why [negotiations] fell apart."
Another source familiar with the negotiations echoes the Dem aide's claim, saying that the House leadership has Lucas on a tight leash. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who is on the compromise committee, told Congressional Quarterly the same thing last week. "I'm hearing that the speaker still keeps inserting his people into the process," and that House members on the farm bill compromise panel "have to go and check with the speaker's people [who] say they want this and this and this. I hear that's one of our major problems."
But a spokesman for Boehner says the assertion that Boehner shot down the food stamps proposals "is absurd." He adds that "the Speaker has full confidence" in Lucas and the rest of the House GOP team that is working out a compromise farm bill. On Friday, Lucas said negotiations stalled because of differences over the crop subsidy provisions in the legislation.
If Boehner did reject the compromise committee's food-stamp proposals, he adhered to something called the Hastert rule—an informal measure used to limit the power of the minority—which says that a "majority of the majority" party must support a bill before it is brought up for a vote. It was first used by former House speaker Dennis Hastert in the mid-90s.
Boehner may not use the Hastert rule on the farm bill, but time is running out to reach an agreement. The two sides were supposed to have a final compromise bill on the House floor by December 13. A Senate agriculture committee aide says that negotiations are technically still ongoing, but the deadline may be pushed into next year. The farm bill is already more than a year behind schedule.
If fruitless negotiations end up delaying a farm bill for another year, Democrats may be the unlikley winners. Some Dems have been considering voting against any compromise farm bill in order to kill the bill. If that happens, food stamps would continue to be funded at current levels.

Following a national outcry, the Alabama judge who sentenced Austin Smith Clem to probation and no prison time for three rape convictions has agreed to reconsider the sentence. The judge, James Woodroof, filed an order Tuesday indicating his intention to resentence Clem. Brian Jones, the district attorney for Limestone County, in north central Alabama, had previously appealed the sentence as too lenient.
In September, a Limestone County jury found Clem, 25, guilty of raping Courtney Andrews, a teenage acquaintance and his then-neighbor, three times—twice when she was 14, and again when was she was 18. Clem's defense attorney did not call any witnesses at trial. After less than two hours of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts against Clem on one count of first-degree rape and two counts of second-degree rape.
On November 13, Woodroof ruled that Clem would be punished by serving two years in a program aimed at nonviolent criminals and three years of probation.
Clem's victim, now 20, said she was "livid" when she first heard the verdict. Her case has since received national attention. On Sunday, she appeared on MSNBC, where she told Melissa Harris-Perry, "I need for him to be in prison. I'm not going to feel safe other than that."

It's not surprising that CBS News today announced that 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan and her producer Max McClellan were taking (or being forced to accept?) leaves of absence after an internal review confirmed the obvious: they had botched their now infamous Benghazi report and helped perpetuate a hoax crafted by Dylan Davies, a security consultant who claimed he had been at the compound the night of the attack.
The review's summary findings—which you can read here—note that the contradictions between the account Davies was peddling in public (via a book) and the information he provided to the FBI and the State Department were "knowable" prior to the airing of Logan's report. Logan and McClellan, the review found, "did not sufficiently vet Davies' account of his own actions and whereabouts that night." No kidding. And the report suggests that Logan was driven by both a desire to find something new in a story already much covered and her belief that the Obama administration was misrepresenting the threat posed by Al Qaeda. This is damning: she failed to do a basic task of reporting and she might have had an agenda.
The review does not answer all the questions that popped up following the 60 Minutes report, especially this one: why the hell did CBS News continue to defend this story after evidence emerged that Davies had fabricated his tale? The summary findings note:
After the story aired, the Washington Post reported the existence of a so-called "incident report" that had been prepared by Davies for Blue Mountain in which he reportedly said he spent most of the night at his villa, and had not gone to the hospital or the mission compound. Reached by phone, Davies told the 60 Minutes team that he had not written the incident report, disavowed any knowledge of it, and insisted that the account he gave 60 Minutes was word for word what he had told the FBI. Based on that information and the strong conviction expressed by the team about their story, [CBS News chairman and 60 Minutes executive producer] Jeff Fager defended the story and the reporting to the press.

Hold on. One of the best newspapers in the world reports the existence of documentary evidence that blows the credibility of your super-duper source out of the water, and what do you do? You call the source and ask him if he told you the truth? When the source insists that he did, you take his word and stick to the story? This does not seem like best practices. The Post report should have triggered a five-alarm alert within CBS News. But this much-storied media institution seemingly brushed it aside. It was only after The New York Times told CBS News that it had discovered that Davies' account did not match what he had told the FBI that 60 Minutes kicked into action:
Within hours, CBS News was able to confirm that in the FBI's account of their interview, Davies was not at the hospital or the mission compound the night of the attack. 60 Minutes announced that a correction would be made, that the broadcast had been misled, and that it was a mistake to include Davies in the story.

In other words, the Times had to do CBS News' own job.
That might be the most embarrassing aspect of this episode. Logan and McClellan screwed up big time—and their motivations are fair game. But CBS News hung on to the Davies fiction after there was reason to suspect the network had been fooled and exploited. (The right-wing Benghazi truthers—this means you, Sen. Lindsey Graham—had jumped on the 60 Minutes report like fleas to a dog.) Did the brass at CBS News calculate that the network could ride out the storm? If so, they were thinking like political spinmeisters, not news people. That's a blemish that won't fade soon.

Between 2003 and 2006, the CIA recruited and trained a small number of Guantanamo Bay detainees as double agents, according to an Associated Press report published on Tuesday. The program was run out of a clandestine facility near the military prison, and—according to US officials—was useful in gathering intel for targeting and killing Al Qaeda leaders. (CIA officers would typically meet with double agents in Afghanistan.)
"Jail time at Guantanamo is a new asset on the résumés of many double agents, security officials say—an ultimate sign of credibility that often makes them revered and trusted among senior operatives," another AP story, from 2010, reads.
In 2009, President Obama ordered a review of the double agents recruited during the Gitmo program because the agents provided intel used in drone-strike operations, according to one of the officials interviewed. But perhaps the most attention-grabbing part of the AP's new investigation is that the CIA's old double-agent facility was nicknamed after a Beatles song.
Here's the relevant text from the AP (emphasis mine):
The program was carried out in a secret facility built a few hundred yards from the administrative offices of the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The eight small cottages were hidden behind a ridge covered in thick scrub and cactus.
The program and the handful of men who passed through these cottages had various official CIA code names.
But those who were aware of the cluster of cottages knew it best by its sobriquet: Penny Lane.
It was a nod to the classic Beatles song and a riff on the CIA's other secret facility at Guantanamo Bay, a prison known as Strawberry Fields.

Last week, Illinois became the sixteenth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Though the law isn't scheduled to take effect until June 1, 2014, one couple has been granted permission to marry seven months early.
A federal judge has ordered that an expedited marriage license be issued to Vernita Gray—who has terminal breast cancer—and her longtime partner Patricia Ewert. Gray, 64 and Ewert, 65, who have been together for five years, will become the first same-sex couple to be legally wed in Illinois.
"I have two cancers, bone and brain and I just had chemo today," Gray told NBC Chicago. "I am so happy to get this news. I'm excited to be able to marry and take care of Pat, my partner and my family, should I pass."
On Friday, two days after Governor Pat Quinn signed the marriage equality bill, Ewert and Gray, who isn't expected to live until June, filed a lawsuit with Lambda Legal, an LGBT rights legal organization, seeking permission to marry immediately. On Monday, US District Judge Thomas Durkin agreed and ordered Cook County Clerk David Orr to issue the couple a marriage license.
"As a supporter of same-sex marriage, I'm pleased Judge Durkin granted relief to Patricia Ewert and Vernita Gray in this difficult time," Orr said in a statement to the Chicago Tribune.
Though they've been in a civil union since 2011, Gray and Ewert do not enjoy the full protections of marriage. "I believe the most important thing for Vernita was to be able to protect Pat," a close friend of the couple told the Chicago Sun-Times. "And with Social Security and federal benefits and how estates are handled in a marriage, it really makes them full-class citizens in Illinois."

As Congress debates renewing the farm bill, Republicans have been pressing for big cuts to the food stamp budget as part of the negotiations. House GOP leaders want to slash as much as $40 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over the next decade, a cut that would affect nearly four million low-income people. Rep. Steve Southerland (R-Fla.), a former funeral director and current House pointman in the negotiations, has called the "explosion of food stamps in this country" the "defining moral issue of our time," and he's set out to "reform" the program by imposing work requirements on recipients.
Southerland would specifically push states to end SNAP benefits for poor families in areas of high unemployment. The premise behind his reform proposals is that the food stamp program is "growing into oblivion." But a new study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows that in fact, enrollment in the food program, which hit a record during the recession, has already started to plateau and is projected to decline about five percent next year even if Congress does absolutely nothing.
Part of that decline is the result of a seven-percent, across-the-board cut that went into effect November 1 with the expiration of about $5 billion in funding increases from the 2009 stimulus bill. But even without that cut, caseloads have been stabilizing since 2011 and remained flat this year. Now, the Congressional Budget Office projects that, barring any major fiscal disasters, the food stamp budget is on track to return to 1995 levels in about five years, falling about two to five percent a year as the economy recovers. All this even if Congress doesn't do anything to "reform" a program that kept nearly five million people (2.2 million of them children) out of poverty last year and is responsible for broad economic and public health gains.
If Southerland gets his way, though, instead of letting a recovering economy pare down food stamp spending, Congress will throw 1.7 million of the nation's poorest people out of the program—people whose annual income is less than $2,500 a year—and incentivize the states to drop even more so they can use the savings on other things, like tax cuts for the wealthy. It's times like these when doing nothing seems like a good idea.

Entrance to Sandy Hook Elementary where Adam Lanza shot his way in.
In the three months leading up to his rampage, Adam Lanza only communicated with his mother via email even though they lived in the same house. Prior to leaving on a short trip a few days before her son would murder her and head to Sandy Hook Elementary, Nancy Lanza cooked him some of his favorite dishes. Adam Lanza frequently spent his weekends at a local theater playing Dance Dance Revolution for up to 10 hours at a time. At the time of his death, the 6-foot tall Lanza weighed only 112 pounds. Those are among the new revelations from Connecticut State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky's final report on the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, which was released today.
The long-awaited official documentation of the December 14, 2012 massacre that left 20 children and six adults dead is only a summary of the yet-to-be released final crime report, which is estimated to run thousands of pages, according to the Hartford Courant. The summary report includes a timeline of the police response to Sandy Hook, starting with the first 911 call. It also offers some insight into the family history, interests, and mental health of the shooter, painting a dark picture of a deeply disturbed individual, but offering no conclusive motive for why he did it.
Included in the report is an inventory of video games he owned, along with a record of some of the evidence recovered from Lanza's hard drives, such as images of him brandishing weapons, movies depicting mass shootings, and videos of people committing suicide by gunshot. Included in a separate appendix to the report are search warrants, photos of the crime scenes, and Lanza's toxicology report (no drugs or alcohol were found in his system).

Pedang, a male Sumatran tiger, who is 14-years old and suffering from chronic ear infections, was given acupuncture treatment at the Ramat Gan Safari, an open-air zoo near Tel Aviv.
An alternative medicine specialist, Mor Mosinzon, treated Pedang. Anaesthetised twice in the past to treat his ailment, the big cat underwent acupuncture for the first time in the hope of solving the problem, the zoo said in a statement. After Pedang was anaesthetised, the veterinarians cleaned his ears, took blood and skin samples, and gave the tiger holistic treatment. This was the first time such treatment has been used at Ramat Gan Safari.
The park, which covers 100 hectares, recreates an African savannah in one of the most densely populated parts of Israel.Reuse content

Phill Valier
"Yes actually." Ty said standing then bowing. "If you would so permit, I wish to assist you in any way shape or form within my capabilities!"He said rather loudly attracting the attention of the Enforcers.
Phill turned his attention down the alleyway as a small group of Enforcers rushed down confident this was just another group of weak commoners. In frustration Phill gripped his sword in anger pointing it at the unorganized force of the Enforcers. Without regulating the amount of magic he was releasing the air began to feel heavy as his sword glowed.
"Windsnare." He muttered, a circle of blue grew at his feet and within a blink of an eye it fired forwards leaving a trail of destruction. The Enforcers were either immediately knocked unconscious or thrown back such a distance that there was no possible way to recover quickly.
"Great now we have to move again!" Djarina said," Are you two trying to get us killed!" She hissed getting on her hoverboard. They all left meeting up in the less occupied part of Obsidia. It originally had been a market place but less than a year ago a fire broke out and since then little work has been done to restore the area. Ty and Djarina eyed Phill strangely as he approached with Scathe at his side. He pulled a sack of money and threw it over to Djarina.
"You know Apex , Your more than you appear to be. No one can get this much money so quickly, and not many own such a presence with magic. With Scathe I'm not surprised but you, you are different. Who are you, really?" She asked, Phill froze for a moment unsure of how to respond.
"I do come from a slightly aristocratic family yes. However my branch has been branded and may members have been hunted down and killed. I myself have faked my own death, and hid my money and resources elsewhere." Phill lied he felt that Ty, and Djarina would not trust him if he had told the truth.
"I never heard of the Noble house of Varion." Djarina muttered.
"They wouldn't want you to." Phill responded.
"Yeah that sounds like that Valier fellow. Don't hear about him anymore." Ty said bluntly. This made Phill cringe on the spot. As they all stood there in the silence of the of the rising sun, Ty asked again this time more quietly.
"So its alright if I join all of you?"Phill yawned and nodded his approval.
"as long as the others don't mind, you should also meet a woman named Karel. She will officially you sign you up to fight on this side, you will find her in the moving market. For this moment I'm going to rest for the time being. If anyone of you want to contact me. This should let you know where I am if you ask it so." He said handing them all an enchanted piece of orange fabric.
"How exactly do you ask it?" Djarina said Incredulously.
"Its pretty ingenious." Ty marvelled," You simply ask where is Apex and you will hear the answer in your head. Did you make this yourself?"Phill nodded. He could feel that Scathe also knew it would work much better if his true name was used and feared that one on of the may find out, but he couldn't help that matter. He turned around.
"One other thing six days from now Rebel leader Velia Kai will leave Obsidia at the Southern docks at the break of dawn. I am hoping all of us will be accompanying her, also be sure their will be a battle there no doubt. Now I bid all of you farewell, and also thank you Scathe and Djarina for your services this night."

We travelled through the night, enjoying the fact that we could now stretch our legs and push ourselves. After so long cooped up, the night air felt cool and refreshing, despite the relative warmth of the evening.
We paused for a while around mid-afternoon the next day. It was a pretty spot, a cluster of trees set on top of a hill, giving lovely views across the valley we had just crossed. On the other side, the city-our destination-glittered like a cluster of diamonds in the daylight. Jake and I settled in the shade of the trees, still wary of being too exposed. Caution had now become ingrained into our every action. It was with a pang that I noticed Jake's carefree smile had become increasingly strained. I was used to this life. Clearly, Jake had not had to live with constant threat the same whay I had.
"I'm sorry for dragging you into all of this Jake." I said quietly, laying my head on his arm.
He shifted so that my head rested on his chest and his arm was around my shoulders.
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world right now." He replied gently.
After a time spent in comfortable silence, we decided to press on, encouraged by the sight of our destination and the continuing eerie silence around us. It was as though all of the creatures had evacuated the area and left us in a vaccuum. Even the air was completely still. Even though we made very little noise, even to our sensetive ears, any noise we did make seemed magnified, almost echoing in the vast silence. A tendril of uneasiness began snaking through the pit of my stomach. The trend continued through to the night. Still the area around us remained silent. Throughtout the day, we had begun to travel faster and faster, by unspoken recognition of the uneasiness that was now palpable. We were running shortly after the moon hit the sky with lances of silver crashing through the trees. We both had the distinct feeling that there was someone following us-or outmanoeuvering us.
We were nearly at the outskirts of the town when our fears were realised. Rising up from the deep shadows created by tufts of grass in the medows, bulky Council Hunters and fighters. Dead ahead of us, the grass burst into flames, which ran round to cut off our escape. Trapped.

The Ontology Lookup Service, a lightweight cross-platform tool for controlled vocabulary queries
With the vast amounts of biomedical data being generated by high-throughput analysis methods, controlled vocabularies and ontologies are becoming increasingly important to annotate units of information for ease of search and retrieval. Each scientific community tends to create its own locally available ontology. The interfaces to query these ontologies tend to vary from group to group. We saw the need for a centralized location to perform controlled vocabulary queries that would offer both a lightweight web-accessible user interface as well as a consistent, unified SOAP interface for automated queries.
The Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) was created to integrate publicly available biomedical ontologies into a single database. All modified ontologies are updated daily. A list of currently loaded ontologies is available online. The database can be queried to obtain information on a single term or to browse a complete ontology using AJAX. Auto-completion provides a user-friendly search mechanism. An AJAX-based ontology viewer is available to browse a complete ontology or subsets of it. A programmatic interface is available to query the webservice using SOAP. The service is described by a WSDL descriptor file available online. A sample Java client to connect to the webservice using SOAP is available for download from SourceForge. All OLS source code is publicly available under the open source Apache Licence.
The OLS provides a user-friendly single entry point for publicly available ontologies in the Open Biomedical Ontology (OBO) format. It can be accessed interactively or programmatically at
Controlled vocabularies and ontologies have evolved into essential tools in large-scale high-throughput scientific data annotation and retrieval. They ensure data consistency and increase the efficiency and accuracy of queries by standardizing the wide variations in terminology that may exist in a particular field of study. Although this variability might be understandable by humans, it can hamper systematic searches through large volumes of data (take for example the possible abbreviations, synonyms and acronyms for the yeast two hybrid experimental technique: Y2H, two-hybrid, 2H, etc).
The Open Biomedical Ontologies project catalogues well-structured controlled vocabularies for shared use across different scientific domains
While such a plethora of information is available to the scientific community, the tools to make efficient use of it are less forthcoming. Individual projects provide code bases and database schemas that have controlled vocabulary sub-schemas where ontologies can be loaded (the chado schema from the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project
Each major ontology tends to have its own online browser (references 6, 9 and 10, among many others) yet there has been little effort to integrate these ontologies into a single point of query. One emerging project is the National Center for Biomedical Ontology, which will be responsible for maintaining the OBO library and creating biomedical data repositories and tools for accessing and using the data
The second version of distributed annotation system protocol (DAS/2)
The BioMOBY project
There are to our knowledge no programmatic interfaces to allow for automated querying and interactive browsing of all OBO ontologies from a single interface.
Such interfaces would be useful in the creation of graphical user interface (GUI) widgets that could be integrated in the development of new tools and promote the use of ontologies in a simple yet powerful manner. Users would be more inclined to make use of controlled vocabulary terms if such data were available in applications used to generate, annotate or query scientific data.
The Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) is a platform independent system that makes use of open source components and is written in Java. It is built around a core object model that is linked to a database using an object-relational mapping layer. Automated loaders are run on a daily basis to keep the ontologies up-to-date. Database queries can be performed interactively through a web application or programmatically through a SOAP interface [Figure
Figure 1
OLS Architecture
OLS Architecture. Loaders will connect to a CVS server to retrieve the latest versions of the ontology source files, transform the data into objects of the data model. The query layer is responsible for creating searchable text indexes as well as communicating with the database via the ORM layer. Programmatic access to the query layer is done via a SOAP interface. Interactive access is done via a Struts web application.
Data loading
The database model was inspired by the relevant portion of the BioSQL database schema.
Once the ontology has been persisted, another process will create an Apache Lucene
Web application
An interactive front-end was created using Java Server Pages (JSP) in the Struts Framework. From the OLS homepage, users can search for ontology terms using an auto-completing form. Users can select a specific ontology or search across all loaded ontologies. As users type a search term, a query is sent to a Java Servlet using Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) once a search string is at least 3 characters long (excluding white spaces). A collection of close matches are sent back to the user, which are displayed in a drop-down menu [Figure
Figure 2
AJAX-based auto-completion of a search term
AJAX-based auto-completion of a search term. A list of possible suggestions will be updated as users type in a search term. If too many terms match the search keyword, users can select the "... and more" option at the bottom of the suggestion list (not shown in this figure). Users can search all ontologies at once or limit their search to a specific ontology.
Figure 3
Full listing of a search
Full listing of a search. All the possible matches to a search keyword are listed in this page. Users can click on the term accession to return to the main page, which will display the definition and annotations stored for this term. When available, the user can click on the term name to be directed to term entry at the principal website associated with the selected ontology.
Users can also browse ontologies using a dynamically generated tree structure. Once an ontology is selected, the root terms of that ontology are displayed in the ontology browser. Clicking on a tree node will send an AJAX request to a Java Servlet which will return the child terms for this parent term and update the browser [Figure
Figure 4
AJAX-based ontology browser
AJAX-based ontology browser. Users can browse a complete ontology or a subset of one by clicking on the ''browse'' button from the search form on the main page. The root term(s) of the ontology or subset are shown. Users can navigate the ontology dynamically by clicking on a term to load its children. Selecting a term will display the term name, accession, definition, synonyms and any annotations. Hovering over a term will display its relationship with its parent.
Relationships between terms are colour-coded to quickly provide an additional level of information. The three most significant relationships that comprise close to 98% of the relationships loaded in the OLS ("is a", 72%, "part of", 25% and "develops from", less than 1%) have been highlighted. Though several ontologies have defined custom relationship types, their usage is limited overall. To keep the interface simple, these relationships are colour-coded as "others" but hovering the mouse cursor over these terms will display the relationship type in the browser.
Users can also browse a subset of the ontology. This can be done by clicking on the "browse" button from the main page after a term has been selected from the auto-completion selections or by clicking on the "zoom" button from the ontology browser. This will re-root the browser on the selected term.
Although it would have been possible to generate a complete, fully-browsable tree for small ontologies, this would rapidly become cumbersome and inefficient for large ontologies such as GO, which have in excess of 20,000 terms. Using AJAX methodology, the tree is built up gradually as the user browses the ontology.
SOAP service
Programmatic access to the database is available through a SOAP webservice. The webservice is implemented in Java and deployed using Apache AXIS
To date, 42 ontologies have been loaded into the OLS database, which account for close to 135,000 terms. A complete list of ontologies loaded into the OLS can be found online
Having a centralized point of query has proven to be useful for multiple projects at the EBI. This work started off as a requirement of the PRIDE project
The programmatic SOAP interface is already being used by the PRIDE project to query the ontologies and obtain constantly updated terms while importing and exporting datasets. Work is also underway to use the SOAP interface in annotation and curation tools to edit and maintain the data in PRIDE.
The Ontology Lookup Service provides interactive and programmatic access to multiple ontologies, using lightweight and consistent interfaces. Users can perform simple queries using an interactive suggest-as-you-type form and browse ontologies in a clear tree-like browser. More sophisticated queries can be performed programmatically using a platform-independent SOAP interface. The service currently holds 42 ontologies covering fields such as anatomy, pathology, development, genomics, proteomics and experimental methods, among others. It is our hope that by providing generic, reusable code components, other projects in the bioinformatics community will make use of the ontology lookup service. Future work aims to increase the number of ontologies available to the general public and to enrich the SOAP interface from user feedback requirements. Users are encouraged to contact the authors to discuss feature requests to the interface. The data model contains more information than was required for the initial release requirements and could be made available if requested. Finally, many biomedical ontologies are available in OWL format and we hope to have OWL loaders for the next major release of the OLS.

Supplying Model Makers since 1895
Telephone us on: 01508 549330
A Classic 1930's light aircraft. Although not actually a 'homebuilt', the Widgeon captures that concept quite well and adds that 1930's aura as a bonus.
Our Widgeon faithfully reproduces the original, right down to the negative tail incidence. Yes, negative, just in case owners thought it was a mistake! It's all a matter of balancing the various incidences to get the right flying performance. Who are we to argue with Westland about their design!
Construction starts with cutting out the pre-printed balsa components from their balsa sheets and then combining them with plan and strip in the time honoured fashion.
The kit contains all the required items of hardware such as wire, wheels, propeller, rubber and tissue covering.
This is not a slow flying model, but has a unique look in the air. It does however, benefit from the stability that a high wing mount provides and is simple to trim.
Wingspan - 24.25"/616mm
Scale - 1:18
Power - Rubber
As is usual with this kind of kit, you will still need to purchase glue (BC/L), Eze dope (BD42) Deluxe Materials Tissue Paste (AD60)

Unwelcome Visitors
After moving to a new flat and discovering unwelcome visitors I decided to dedicate this poem to them... I hope they'll take the hint!
Now I know
why we teach
how to count to a million.
An endless row of
tiny identical black creatures
following the leader
who follows the last one…
where to go
what to do
meaning of life
all clear and obvious
for them.
so innocent (or maybe stupid?),
never stopping for a break,
modestly hiding their kingdom
from the human eye,
they really are to be appreciated
and I wish them all the best
anywhere else
outside of my house!!

How do you do that?
How do you draw me in without even knowing?
Why do you keep me imprisoned in your chains?
Will you ever let me go?
It's like you're holding my heart in one strong hand,
Making it beat faster when I see you.
I don't understand,
If we can never be together,
Then why am I your prisoner?

Or well, let me frame the title of this post by not being politically correct!
"Development on Mac sucks"
Especially for newbies on Mac, yes, that is very true. First of all, the package management for mac sucks big time. I really couldn't find a LAMP package in App Store. WHY? Such a biased decision! Wouldn't developers use mac? Or do people at apple assume all developers to be nerds who know ins-and-outs of using macports, brew etc? Other than that some small points that make me feel pissed.
- "readlink -f" (illegal option, #fail)
- "echo -n Hello"
- I dont know how many keyboard shortcuts I need to remember
- Amazing that they forgot some really important keys like [, ], {, }
- Some things really not uniform, like usage of cmd and ctrl keys. They have moved many of ctrl features to cmd key but left some of them with ctrl. WHY?

This is exactly the same as the free version. Only donate if you know the widget works and would like to donate to my development fund.
I created this widget as I couldn't find a trustworthy widget that worked on gingerbread. This is a data switch widget that will bring up your accounts and sync if you mobile data is on. This way you can disable the background data while before the mobile data is turned on (convenient for metered plans). This should work with all versions of android, but if you have issues please let me know. If you like my work please consider buying the donate version, but only after you make sure the it works. The donate version is exactly the same as this free version.
Only 2 permissions are required and that is for checking the background data is on or not, and enabling the mobile data (cannot enable or disable background data automatically). I made sure to keep the permissions down as I know I don't trust a data widget that can read my sd card, contacts, phone info, and/or connect to the internet. If anyone has more permissions than this requires on a data widget they don't need it and you should question them.

Recycled wastewater has a persuasive marketing ally in San Diego: beer brewers.
Scientists say a recent breakthrough makes it possible to put brewery wastewater to good use.
The latest public-relations strategy for direct potable reuse (DPR) is simple: Give people beer.
Smaller batches and different types of product in the same plant – these are the market demands to which more and more manufacturers in the process industries need to adjust. The answer is plants based on the "Lego principle". Users can add modules or switch them off in line with requirements.
In recent years, TOC has steadily gained in importance in both wastewater and drinking water analysis. In relationship to COD TOC provides specific information about the type and origin of organic loads in wastewater.
The launch of the world's first ready-to-use reagent packages for photometric analysis in the 1960s had a substantial effect on water analysis.
Analysis and quality assurance measures are inseparably interlinked. There is much more to ensuring high quality measurement results than simply the type of analytical method (standard/norm vs. operational analysis) that is used.
This is part two of a two part paper addressing the value of implementing a real time operations infrastructure to gain visibility, productivity and throughput, quality management, and real time asset utilization; all of which extend the value of plant to business integration.

Manufacturers in both the process and discrete manufacturing industries should consider condition monitoring (CM) for critical assets to improve the effectiveness of their maintenance resources. Typical benefits include improved uptime, asset longevity, cost control, yield/quality and safety. Now is the time for users to re-evaluate their condition monitoring strategies and consider taking advantage of available pack-aged predictive maintenance (PdM) applications to leverage their existing process and smart device data.

Water and oxidization deposits and foreign particles are responsible for more than 80% of all process breakdowns. These breakdowns increase maintenance and replacement costs, and stall production

+ B i o;
Like most toddlers, Felix babbled on and on. He formed simple sentences and was able to communicate with his parents about what he wanted. But something went wrong somewhere on his language journey and the young boy started to stutter around age four. At first, his parents thought it was just a cute little phase. They'd giggle and grab the videotape – thinking it sounded so cute. But as he grew older and it didn't go away, they grew concerned.
At the age of seven, they signed Felix up for speech therapy. Nothing seemed to work. But then in middle school, Felix decided to take a chance and try out for the school choir. Sure he had sung quietly to himself in his room and loved music, but he had always thought with his stuttering – no one would take him seriously. At first they didn't. The teacher had already made up her mind about him before he even opened his mouth. But once Felix started to sing, something magical happened. There was no stuttering. From that moment forward, Felix lived for music and singing. All the way through high school he sang with the school choir, until his senior year when he was signed with his first label.
Now, a few years later he is still singing. After releasing three albums, Felix is currently working on his fourth one. Felix's stuttering disappears magically when he starts to sing but doing acceptance speeches or interviews for television and radio (or even talking in his everyday life), he still stutters. Some critics claim it's just a ploy to get people to feel for him and pity him so they buy his records. But after two of his albums went platinum even some of the critics agree, he has the talent whether the stutter is real or not – there is no denying how wonderful his voice is.

In the greying mist, battle rages
'Tween the sun and moon
Locked in their matrimony war;
It is the evening star-child
Who gauges the raindrop
Tears slipping from the poor
Loser of such a fight twisted
Around each blinking beacon,
No more a message of hope
Than the morning. It's peeking
When the daylight is over;
How audacious the golden Queen
Dares to be! With her memorandum
Of the sight in the sky,
She can command up any insomnia
Into bloodstained light.
The King of the night,
Though he is passed by,
Might still dare to come into flight,
Above our trees and our bushes,
Plains of emerald and jade,
Turned silver with blue,
So as not to fade,
When he has to hide in the couple's
Cosmic encounter and horizon fight.
Nymphs of the moon,
And those comets, too,
You call upon them with your grace,
There's a ring left behind-
Gold circlet ever turning-
As it reflects the concern on your face.
I am here in our garden,
With its dells and its peaks,
And the twittering, bickering skyline;
One hand as your angel protector,
Another left stray to beckon
The alirium of the pleasant day,
And the opposing, exciting eyeline.
What is beyond the prophetic
Touch of the dreamer
Whose heart is here foretelling?
Is it the lick of the emerised crust
As the earth to her is unfurling?
Its body silk of the lustre beyond,
All the sequins the midnight canvas
Enclosed in a dream
Of amorous supposition
From the night and the day;
Where your position may
Not even be where we think, in this dawn,
The highlights of the queen
Returning to seem
More ridiculous than before.
Do not dwell on bad memories,
You must put them to sleep,
As your own body settles,
Into the visionless deep.
Stretch your head across
The mounds of earth,
Lay your heart freely into place,
Hear the simmer of the rush
Of the brook below the bridge
As it hurries to its own bed-space.

DAVID LEMI sparked a late try rush as Worcester stormed to their first win of the season.
Aleki Lutui's try gave Warriors a slender 16-11 lead going into the last 10 minutes.
But Lemi, Semisi Taulava and Jon Clarke all scored tries and former England fly-half Andy Goode booted 15 points.
Worcester boss Richard Hill said: "We made hard work of it but it was vital that we won."
Exiles had led 8-0 early on thanks to a try by No 8 Ofisa Treviranus.
Irish chief Brian Smith admitted: "We've got to cop it on the chin as we were second-rate."

So cheeecckkkk this out you krazy kats: L.L. Bean is doing a daily giveaway, you write a short essay describing the adventure you want to take and what gear you need (up to $500). So I wrote about my upcoming SCA internship and how food is of utmost importance to a hiker, and that I'd like an MSR Dragonfly stove and a Bugaboo 4-person cookset to share amongst the crew (and to keep it when the season is over!)
Lo and behold, my plea for communal cooking worked! I won me a stove and a cookset totaling about $250 worth! Must have pulled at their heart strings with the whole "im doing volunteer trail work for five months and I want to be the cool kid at camp who shares his goodies with everyone"
If anyone wants to enter heres the link https://100.llbean.com/gear-giveaway/
What a great story and congratulations. I suspect your situation would be hard to duplicate because you are doing non-profit work (legitimately) and that's always a winning story.
