Miley Debuts Jaw-Dropping New Look For W Magazine Cover
In a week of debuts, W Magazine will release its first ever "social media" issue, and on its cover, a barely recognizable made-over Miley Cyrus. Miley, who sports bleached hair that falls below her chin for the first time in a few years in the cover shot photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, is interviewed by media IT boy Ronan Farrow.
A press release teases the piece:
"You know, I've made my money. If no one buys my album, cool. It's fine. I've got a house, and I've got dogs that I love. I don't need anything else," 21-year-old Miley Cyrus tells W's Ronan Farrow on a recent evening at her home in Los Angeles. In his inaugural assignment for W, Farrow speaks with the former Disney-star about her turn towards controversial pop icon.
"I don't give a shi," Cyrus says, when asked about the negative press surrounding her tour, such as the accusation that she is exploiting her minority back up dancers. "I'm not Disney, where they have, like, an Asian girl, a black girl, and a white girl, to be politically correct, and, like, everyone has bright colored T-shirts. You know, it's like, I'm not making any kind of statement. Anyone that hates on you is below you, because they're just jealous of what you have."
W Mag's March 2014 issue hits stands on February 8.
What do you think of Miley's new look?
Looking up your nostrils is not that attractive. Your eye lids half closed make you look high, oh wait you are always high!! I really just don't respect your style and your decision to be as raunchy as a two dollar hooker. Call it what you want Miley it is really embarrassing watching you act like your some great talent. Any girl can take her clothes off for attention. We had higher hopes for you, that's all.

That's Not Oversight: Head Of FISC Admits He Relies On NSA's Statements To Make Sure They're Obeying The Law
from the that's-not-oversight dept
"The FISC is forced to rely upon the accuracy of the information that is provided to the Court," its chief, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, said in a written statement to The Washington Post. "The FISC does not have the capacity to investigate issues of noncompliance, and in that respect the FISC is in the same position as any other court when it comes to enforcing [government] compliance with its orders."That's not quite true. You see, with "any other court" when it comes to "enforcing compliance" things aren't all hidden away from everyone, so there is scrutiny to make sure that there's compliance. Not here.
Either way, this again shows just how laughable President Obama's claims are about the FISC's oversight abilities:
"We also have federal judges that we've put in place who are not subject to political pressure," Obama said at a news conference in June. "They've got lifetime tenure as federal judges, and they're empowered to look over our shoulder at the executive branch to make sure that these programs aren't being abused."Not quite. Now we know that they rely on the NSA to tell the judges what they might see if they were looking over their shoulders... and the NSA isn't entirely truthful to FISC about that. For example, in the last post, we noted that one of the big mistakes was collecting a ton of phone calls from the DC area, when someone accidentally typed in "202" -- the area code for DC -- instead of "20" -- the country code for Egypt. It should be worrisome enough that the system is designed in such a manner that such a typo still allows such a massive collection of data (I mean, if they really were trying to limit collection on US information, wouldn't they at least program it not to allow US area codes?). But, even worse, the NSA decided not to tell the FISC about this:
The description of the 2008 problem suggests that the inadvertent collection of U.S. phone calls was not reported to the FISA court.Ooops. No one standing over their shoulder there.

Queen Elizabeth Impressed by RV Factory Tour
November 27, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Queen Elizabeth Impressed by RV Factory Tour
Queen Elizabeth II recently visited an RV plant in Bristol, England.
The London Daily Mail devoted an extensive amount of space in a recent edition to the queen's visit.
The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, were taken for a brief ride in the motorhome, the Approach SE760, known at the factory as Mavis, and given a tour of the plant.
Aides said they believed it was first journey in such a vehicle for the couple, who are more accustomed to the royal train and the former royal yacht Britannia for mobile accommodation.
Nevertheless, the Queen, dressed in a vivid pink Stewart Parvin coat and hat by Rachel Trevor-Morgan, seemed genuinely impressed.

Reporters Find Exposed Personal Data Via Google, Threatened With CFAA Charges
from the sounds-familiar dept
The unprotected TerraCom and YourTel records came to light through the simplest of tools: a reporter's Google search of TerraCom.Of course, rather than be thankful to the reporters for letting them know about a huge security lapse, or be apologetic for revealing all sorts of key data on their customers, they decided to sue.
The records include 44,000 application or certification forms and 127,000 supporting documents or "proof" files, such as scans or photos of food-stamp cards, driver's licenses, tax records, U.S. and foreign passports, pay stubs and parole letters. Taken together, the records expose residents of at least 26 states.
The application records, drawn from 18 of those states and generally dated from last September through November, list potential customers' names, signatures, birth dates, home addresses and partial or full Social Security numbers. The proof files, from last September through April, include residents of at least eight remaining states.
However, Vcare and the two telecom companies assert that the reporters "hacked" their way into the data using "automated" methods to access the data. And what was this malicious hacking tool that penetrated the security of Vcare's servers? In a letter sent to Scripps News by Jonathan D. Lee, counsel for both of the cell carriers, Lee said that Vcare's research had shown that the reporters were "using the 'Wget' program to search for and download the Companies' confidential data." GNU Wget is a free and open source tool used for batch downloads over HTTP and FTP. Lee claimed Vcare's investigation found the files were bulk-downloaded via two Scripps IP addresses.I'm not sure how anyone could claim that the mere use of Wget constitutes a form of hacking, even under the extremely loose interpretations of the CFAA. However, as mentioned, the story does have similarities to the weev case -- except this time we're talking about reporters for a well known news service, rather than someone with a reputation as an internet troll. Hopefully, if the telcos do decide to actually file a lawsuit, it gets laughed out of court.

1. What are Syllable's strong points?
It is a complete system where all the parts have been designed to fit together well: Kaj calls this "holistically designed", which is a good description. We take the best design features from past operating systems and implementing them with modern, mainstream, open-source parts. We are also not afraid to cut out the bloat and implement our own solution if we think we can do it in a way that fits the rest of the system better. This has resulted in a very fast, extremely efficient, remarkably easy to use system. We think we've hit the sweet spot between elegance and practicality.
Syllable is fairly complete and has good hardware support, which makes it usable right now. It's also heavily multi-threaded [ed. note: think BeOS] and supports multiple processors, so it's better suited to modern multi-core CPUs than a lot of other OSes right now.
2. What are Syllable's weak points?
We're the new kid on the block. Although Syllable gains a lot of stability from the mainstream parts we use - only a few percent of Syllable's total source code is new - not all of our own subsystems are fully stable yet. Because we have our own graphical environment with our own APIs, few native applications have been written so far. This means we have a limited number of users and developers at this point, although attracting more is just a matter of time. Part of the problem may be that Syllable currently only has limited support for languages other than C++ and C.
Hardware support is a perennial problem, even though we do pretty well compared to most other OSes in our class. Getting hardware support to a point that is even as good as Linux will take time. If someone tries Syllable and it fails to boot, that can irritate them and we may lose a potential new user. We always try our best to fix any bugs and add more drivers, but it can be tough with such limited resources.
3. What applications are sorely lacking from Syllable?
All but a few. We have two decent editors, a web browser and a mail program that are shaping up. We have an integrated development environment that fits Syllable very nicely and is easy to use. We are introducing an address book application and will be polishing up the CD burning application. There are the usual small tools that one expects with a system, and some games. We basically have all of the well-known command-line applications, and SDL and Curses programs are easy to port. Other than that, we have a lot of opportunities for developers to start writing applications. There are the obvious ones that everyone mentions like an office suite or Flash. What a healthy OS really needs is a large number of small applications. As Syllable matures and people pick up on our development environment & layout designer that should begin to change. I'm sure Java and .Net support wouldn't hurt, either.
4. If there were two features you could magically get from other operating systems, what would they be and why?
Do developers and users count as features? If not, a complete version of REBOL with REBOL/View would be nice, and maybe a working, fully supported port of OpenOffice.org
5. What project, feature, or application currently in development for Syllable excites you the most, and why?
Only one? Then it would have to be Syllable Server. Kaj has been planning it for a long time and it's exciting that it's really happening now. We have already been noticing that it opens doors for us. On the other hand, it's just a side project to help Syllable Desktop out. Using the Linux kernel for Syllable Server gives us several things: stability, REBOL/Core, and ReiserFS 3. Putting our graphical environment on top of that will make it immediately more usable. People will be able to start writing applications for our APIs without fear for instability and limited hardware support and those applications will be almost trivial to port to Syllable Desktop. We'll be able to do some exciting things as we integrate Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server.
There's a lot of other things that excite me, though. Dee Sharpe has been working on OpenGL support and how to integrate it properly. Jonas Jarvoll has been working on oCADis, which is a large scale application that proves Syllable can handle those sort of real-world applications. We've just released a new version of ABrowse, which gives us a very fast and well supported web browser.
Thanks to Vanders for taking the time to answer the Five Questions.

The Characters:
Calvin - Nerd with a drinking problem, namely that one beer completely wipes him out. Plus he always falls for bad girls.
Spider - Linnea Quigley! Bad girl who makes her living by burglarizing bowling alleys.
Taffy and Lisa - Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer! Here doing what they do best, filling the camera with their naked bodies.
Keith and Jimmie - Two nerds with identifying characteristics, the first's is a pair of thick glasses, while the second is chubby and has a baby face. They are on a normal nerd mission, seeing a woman naked. One ends up deep fried, the other decapitated.
Babs, Rhonda, and Frankie - Sorority sisters that love torturing the young girls, they are turned into freakish she-bitches before being banished. Who knew that you could banish a demon with a bowling ball?
The Janitor - Gruff old man with a hearing aide, he is just here to mutter colorful euphemisms. Sliced open by a she-bitch.
The Imp - Demonic creature that is released from his imprisonment (inside a bowling trophy) by accident.
The Plot:
When two sorority initiates break into a bowling alley and steal a trophy all hell breaks loose, literally. It's just an excuse for several male wet dreams really, including two girls in their panties being disciplined with a paddle, then sprayed down with dessert topping. Is there any more perfect example of a teenage boy's secret thoughts?
Taffy and Lisa want into a sorority, which involves the older girls tanning their bottoms and other character building moments. How in the world I can say "older girls" with Brinke being thirty four is beyond me, it is a strange world we live in. The nerd trio is caught peeking by Babs and find themselves reluctant participants in the initiation.
Tasked with stealing something from the local bowling alley (to prove they've been inside) the unlikely group arrives at the mall. Babs and company have secretly snuck in as well, intent on scaring the kids somehow. Thrown in, just for the heck of it, are the janitor and Spider. Linnea was apparently paid by the "F" word and made a mint.
What would you steal from a bowling alley? Something that wouldn't be missed, like a pin or ball? No way, this group decides to steal a huge gleaming trophy.
As fate would have it they drop the trophy and a clearly demonic little imp pops out. We get the obligatory "wishes with a twist" and then the creature starts killing people. Actually it is Rhonda and Frankie doing the killing, but the imp turned them into demons, so whatever. A clever screenwriter would have made the wishes come back in some way to kill the wishee. He didn't work on this script, the two girls in bad makeup take care of the dirty work.
Running gags... ...ouch, there were a couple of running gags. I wanted to run away from them. Besides the nearly deaf janitor, we have Calvin's alcohol tolerance problem. He drinks a single beer before midnight and is completely intoxicated. Hours later, just before dawn, he is still throwing up. Hey, it's funny! The nerd can't hold his liquor! He's barfing, again! *Moan*
There is something that I just have to get off my chest, besides an Andy Sidaris cliché. Prepare yourself for a revelation. Any movie with this much female nudity should be more entertaining, to me (or other heterosexual males) at least. Predominately the film is very dark, but any scene with unfettered female flesh has an abundance of illumination. You stop looking at women as sex objects and see them for what they really are, the light of the world.
Stand back, that much sarcasm can't be good for anybody.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Sororities should hold their initiation rites on the second floor, or at least pull the curtains.
Whipped cream takes forever to wash off.
Some cars come with an optional halogen interior light.
Crowbars work wonders for coin returns.
Never stick your head in a bowling ball cleaning machine.
Never stick your head in a vat of hot grease either.
Mall locker rooms are not equipped with sprinkler systems.
Container tins might not be hermetically sealed, but they will keep satanic imps from escaping.
Stuff To Watch For:
7 mins - I wonder if those gardening implements have been placed on the table to make the initiates feel more comfortable.
10 mins - A house full of young *cough* girls and somebody leaves the back door open.
12 mins - RANDOM GRATUITOUS BREAST SHOT!
13 mins - Taffy's backside looks pretty normal for having been whacked with a wooden paddle.
34 mins - Whoa! You must be Catholic or something.
41 mins - RANDOM GRATUITOUS EXTENDED BREAST SHOT!
(She is naked for the next half hour.)
42 mins - I think I'd be a little farther along than these two by now.
47 mins - Why didn't the slide lock to the rear?
63 mins - Okay, he is hard of hearing, we get the idea.
71 mins - An axe! How did our heroes miss that in their search for weapons?

Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-O-Rama

Posted on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM by Chadzilla
Whenever talking about Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama director David DeCeatau (I don't think I spelled that correctly) always mentions that he was completely sh*tfaced drunk when he made it. Evidently the caterer had an open bar that the cast and crew put to very good use.
I had also forgotten how eighties the whole thing looked. Yikes!
Nonetheless I enjoy this little piece of cinematic swill and give it four slimes.

One of my personal favorite B-Movie titles. The creature in the bowling trophy, was somewhat silly, but what do you expect from a film, like this? Still, Brinke Stevens is a babe, and does her usual over the top performance. Also, check out Assault of the Killer Bimbos(another babe fest).

"Linnea was apparently paid by the "F" word and made a mint."
What, exactly, does that mean? And if it means what I think it does how, exactly, does Borntreger know this? I'm always curious (jelous) of people with equal or greater s**tty movie knowledge than myself.
This movie should be in every video store in america. I HAVE to find an orginal copy of this, I really don't want to have to buy the Cult Video(Full Moon) DVD... crap. Maybe I'm just looking on the wrong shelf.
This was a rather pointless post... I don't know why I'm even going to submit it.

Some people expect too much from this film. But if your a B Movie fan like me you'll love it. I know its low budget and has a cheesy plot but above that its hilarious especially the Imps one liners.

This movie sounds frighteningly similar to a movie called "Hobgoblins" Not the actual title, but just the meat of the movie. Any movie from the 80's is more than likely going to suck, but if it has the name "Slime-Ball" in it, I have a feeling I'm going to be sick after wathcing it.

My life has been changed forever.
I did not know that this kind of stuff was possible, or somehow admirable, but it is. Oh, it is. I am as azmazed as I am flabbergasted.

W.C. Fields said "Never work with children or animals," and for a lot of people that holds true for romance books, too. Some readers really dislike having children or animals in books, others love them. Me? I say it's all in the execution. Sweetly lisping precocious bratty-type children? Little saintly critters? Generally no — though I have written several books with children. Animals? Well, I'm a sucker for animals.
The reason W.C. Fields said this was that children and animals generally attract the audience's attention away from the star — him. And it's true. There are no children in THE AUTUMN BRIDE, but there are animals — specifically kittens. I started with my heroine's sister rescuing a cat and a litter of young kittens from a building that was going to be demolished. That was it. It was just meant to be a slight plot complication. But kittens have a way of attracting attention…
When Abby discovers elderly aristocratic invalid, Lady Beatrice Davenham living in squalor and at the mercy of her rapacious neglectful servants, she's invited by the old lady to move in with her. Abby and her "sisters", calling themselves the Misses Chance and pretending to be Lady Beatrice's nieces, move in, sack the servants and set about improving life for Lady Bea and themselves. It all works beautifully until Lady Beatrice's nephew Max returns from the Far East and demands to know who these impostors are. So we're all set for a confrontation — right?
Remember how I said animals upstage the stars?
"My nieces, Max," said Aunt Beatrice with a smile that had a lot in common with the look the little cockney had given him. Lying through her teeth and daring him to deny it.
But why? "Damn it, Aunt Bea—"
"Later, Max," she said airily. "Thank you, girls. My nephew and I have much to catch up on. Featherby, perhaps a cup of tea in half an hour."
Max waited with folded arms as the girls bustled about gathering things—magazines and bits of lace and fur and fabric lay scattered all over the counterpane—and examining him surreptitiously from beneath lowered eyelashes….
Why the hell had his aunt claimed them as her nieces? Was it some kind of blackmail? Or threat?
The women were still fussing over the bits of fabric, sorting them in a manner calculated to annoy him.
"That will do," Max snapped. "Collect it later." He moved to sit on his aunt's bed.
As he did so, five women and a butler shrieked.
"What the—"
Lady Beatrice snatched up a tiny white kitten from the spot where Max had been about to sit and cradled it to her bosom. "Max, you could have killed her."
"Well, how was I to know you'd taken to keeping cats? I thought it was a bit of fur."
"It is—attached to a kitten. This is Snowflake, and over there is his brother, Marmaduke." A small tortoiseshell kitten emerged from under a magazine, regarded Max and yawned extravagantly.
See? They upstage. But Max, being a hero, rallies, of course, and takes the kittens in his stride…
He reached out to pat the white ball of fluff, and a small black missile flew out and attached itself to the fabric of his sleeve. It clung determinedly, growling.
"What the—" Max picked his assailant off his sleeve. Black as soot, black as sin, the tiny piece of fluff sat on his palm and stared back at him, undaunted, then clamped needle-sharp teeth down on his thumb.
"This is Max," his aunt said. And then, bewilderingly, "Stop it, Max! That's a very bad habit."
Max frowned at her. "I beg your pardon?"
Mischance, repressing—not very successfully—a smile, came forward and removed the kitten from his grasp. "Yes, Max," she said sternly addressing the kitten, face-to-face. "A very bad habit." The kitten gave her nose a few exploratory pats.
"You named that kitten Max?" Max said.
"Yes." His aunt beamed up at him.
"Why?" He looked at the small, scruffy kitten, now resting against the soft bosom of a deceitful woman. The creature was too young to know the dangers of that.
"Because he is bold and dashing and handsome, of course," said his aunt.
"Because he is always off adventuring and never where he ought to be," said Miss Abigail Chance at the same time. With a pointed look, damn her cheek. What did she know of his business?
She held the small black kitten against her bosom, caressing it behind the ears. Max the kitten purred blissfully, like a rusty little coffee grinder.
Max the man glowered.
See? The poor man hasn't a chance. Not only are there five women to deal with — all of them lying in their pearly white teeth — there are kittens. . .
W.C Fields would sympathize.
So what about you? Are animals in books a problem for you? Or are you an animal lover? And if so, what's your favorite animal? Tell us for a chance to win one copy of my book!

Lanza autopsy finds no drugs, alcohol
Sandy Hook Elementary School gunman: Medical examiner finds no alcohol, confirms earlier newspaper report
Staff reports
A published report indicates that Adam Lanza was not under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs when he shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and killed 20 first-graders and six adults.
Citing law enforcement sources, the Hartford Courant also reported Monday that neither antidepressants nor anti-psychotic medications were found in Lanza's body when he was autopsied by Chief State Medical Examiner Dr. H. Wayne Carver shortly after the Dec. 14 massacre.
The findings confirm what Hearst Connecticut Newspapers reported in December when investigators seized cellphones, computers and computer games during a search of Lanza's Newtown home, but found no evidence Lanza was being treated with any drugs prescribed for mental illness.
The toxicological findings did not surprise State Police Major Crime Squad detectives involved in the case, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers on Monday.
"That was the assumption we've been working with," the source said.
It remains unclear whether any medication was prescribed for the 20-year-old Lanza, who reportedly had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism.
The toxicology studies, which can take up to several months to complete, have been turned over to State Police, who are continuing to investigate the shooting, and Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky, who is expected to release his report by the end of June, according to the Courant.
Sedensky declined to comment on the Courant's story Monday, but acknowledged he has received "all of the autopsy reports."
Lanza had only limited contact with people other than his mother, Nancy. He shot his mother to death in the bedroom of their Yogananda Street home before embarking on his school rampage.
Search warrant affidavits of the Lanza home and vehicles made public last month didn't indicate whether police found any drugs or alcohol, but stated that medical records were among the boxes of documents they seized.

|Drug: CT-2103 Drug: Gemcitabine
|Phase 1
Hide Detailed Description
CT-2103 is a chemotherapy drug designed to deliver an active chemotherapy medication (paclitaxel) inside of tumor cells. Gemcitabine is FDA approved for the treatment of breast cancer.
Before you can start receiving drug on this study, you will have what are called "screening tests." These tests will help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in the study. You will have a complete medical history and physical exam. You will have a CT scan of the chest and abdomen, a bone scan, and a chest x-ray performed to document the size and location of the tumor(s). Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests. Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood-pregnancy test.
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a dose of CT-2103. Participants in this study will be enrolled in groups of 3. The first group will receive the lowest dose of CT-2103. Each new group of patients will receive a higher dose until the highest safe dose is found. The dose that you receive will depend on how many patients have received CT-2103 before you. You will only be assigned to one dose level, and you will stay at this same dose level for the entire study unless you have a serious side effect that requires the dose to be decreased or stopped. All participants will receive the same dose of gemcitabine, though it too may be lowered if severe side effects occur.
Both CT-2103 and gemcitabine are given through a vein. On the first day of your therapy (called 'Day 1'), you will receive a routinely given medication, ondansetron (Zofran), that will help decrease the risk of nausea. About 30 minutes later, CT-2103 will be given over 10-20 minutes followed by gemcitabine over 30 minutes.
One week later ('Day 8'), you will receive gemcitabine through the vein over about 30 minutes. You will return to see your doctor 3 weeks after your first dose of chemotherapy ('Day 21'), and then this pattern or cycle of treatment will be given again.
You will continue on therapy as long as the cancer is being controlled and you are not having unexpected or intolerable side effects. All chemotherapy will be given at M. D. Anderson.
You will have blood (about 2 tablespoons) collected once a week while you are on study to monitor the effects of chemotherapy on your bone marrow and liver and kidney function. You will see your doctor every 3 weeks to monitor how you are tolerating the therapy. At these visits, your doctor will discuss any symptoms you are having, and you will have a physical exam. If you are taking warfarin (Coumadin) you will need to have blood (about 1 tablespoon) collected three times a week to monitor you warfarin levels.
After each 6 weeks of chemotherapy, you will have repeat scans to evaluate the effects of the study drugs upon your cancer.
Once you have stopped taking therapy with CT-2103 and gemcitabine, you will be asked to return to see your physician in about 6 weeks to evaluate how you are doing and to find out if there has been any additional change in the cancer. You will have a complete medical history and physical exam. You will have a CT scan of the chest and abdomen, a bone scan, and a chest x-ray performed to document the size and location of the tumor(s).
This is an investigational study. Gemcitabine is FDA approved for the treatment of breast cancer when given in combination with paclitaxel. Gemcitabine will not be provided free of charge. CT-2103 is not yet FDA approved and will be provided free of charge during the study. Any laboratory testing that is not standard of care will be paid for by the supporting company. About 18 women will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

"Ultimate Fighter" on FX sports a Colorado contender
[media-credit name="Photo courtesy of FX" align="alignleft" width="495″][/media-credit]
He coulda been a contender. Wait, he is a contender.
Chase Hackett of Littleton, aka "Prison Stare," is one of 32 finalists for FX's "Ultimate Fighter Live." The show premieres March 9 with a two-and-a-half-hour launch, that's 16 live fights. The spectacle runs for 13 weeks.
The finalists, picked from 500 applicants, include fighters in the lightweight (155 pounds) division from the United States, England, Northern Ireland and Brazil, vying for "a six-figure contract."
The coaches are current UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and former WEC featherweight champion and current top contender, Urijah Faber.
Not my cup o' tea, but it could draw serious ratings for FX with the young male demographic.

Scientists in China, Seattle, Wash., and San Diego, Calif., have successfully identified as many as 55,000 genes in the two major strains of rice, a breakthrough that should lead to more rapid agronomic improvement in not only rice, but the other major grains as well.
Genetic sequencing of rice does not come without controversy. The announcement in the April 5 edition of Science, the Journal of the American Association of Advancement of Science, once again ignites the controversy over biotech food crops.
However, Kent Bradford, director of the Seed Biotechnology Center, University of California, Davis, said the first even genomic sequencing of a crop plant would probably have a greater impact on traditional rice breeding than in biotechnology. It will affect both.
"It will speed up the processing of taking beneficial characteristics from one rice variety and putting into another," he said. "It will reduce the time and therefore the expense of traditional breeding."
Although the 50,000-gene sequence of rice is larger than that of humans, who have only 30,000 to 40,000 genes, rice has the smallest amount of DNA compared to other crop grains, according to Bradford.
Gene similarities
Bradford said there is a certain "synteny" or similarity between rice genes and wheat, barley and corn genes.
"Wheat has six chromosomes while rice has three. Wheat has a huge genome that is very difficult to sequence. Based on what these scientists have learned from rice, we will now have a lot of clues about what specific genes do what in wheat and other grains," said Bradford.
Dr. Steve Briggs, president of the Syngenta Torrey Mesa Research Institute where part of the gene sequencing was done, said researchers found that 98 percent of the known corn, wheat and barley genes are present in rice.
Together, wheat, barley, corn and rice represented two-thirds of all calories consumed by people in developing countries, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
With this genomic sequencing, plant breeders can now more quickly identify desirable traits like cold tolerance and disease resistance to enhance rice yields. For the consumer, it means the nutritional content can be improved quicker.
University of California, Davis molecular biologist Pamela Ronald, who isolated the first disease-resistant gene in rice, said global cereal yield must increase 80 percent over the 1990 average in the next 20 years just to keep pace with increases in global population.
Better understanding
With this study, plant researchers will now be better able to understand how genes functions in crop plants and develop hardier and more productive varieties by introducing genes with desirable traits using traditional breeding or genetic engineering, she says.
There are more than 100,000 specimens of traditional rice varieties and wild rice species maintained at the International Rice Research Institute Genebank. The genome sequencing data will enable researchers to identify genes from those seed specimens that have agricultural importance.
"This work has potentially huge benefits for California rice growers," said longtime Northern California UC farm advisor Jack Williams.
The scientific breakthrough elicits mixed emotions for rice growers who obviously want to see improvements made in the rice varieties they produce, but do not want the genomics sequencing announcement to raise fears of genetically modified foods (GMO) rice reaching customers who do not want it.
Tim Johnson, CEO of the California Rice Commission, said the negative perception of GMO has subsided in the past year domestically, but Japan and Turkey, both good California rice customers, do not want GMO rice.
California's rice industry does not want to repeat the mistakes of the corn and soybean industries which mistakenly put GMO products on the market, creating a market backlash.
Zeneca earlier announced it had decoded rice genes. Zeneca is now part of Syngenta, one of the two entities announcing the gene sequencing.
Certification law
In the wake of the Zeneca announcement and the possibility of biotech rice being developed, the state's rice industry pushed through the state legislature in 2000 a rice certification law to keep rice varieties separated to protect the state's $500 million per year rice industry from a GMO fallout like corn experienced when taco shells were inadvertently made with GMO corn not approved for human consumption.
Johnson said the industry is equipped to segregate and certify rice varieties from harvest through processing and shipping.
Some viewed the certification law as anti-genetic modification. Johnson said that is not true and he expects biotech rice varieties will be in California within the next three to five years.
He said the gene sequencing announcement "portends great things to come" in rice breeding, hopefully to overcome problems the watergrass herbicide resistance producers are now battling.
Keep rice separate
"We are confident we can keep separate biotech rice for customers who want that and non biotech rice for customers who prefer that. The California rice industry is in a position to take advantage of this new technology and at the same time meet our customers' demands."
The gene sequences were developed by competing private and public research groups, a Syngenta biotechnology laboratory in San Diego and a team of Chinese scientists working in Bejing and the University of Washington in Seattle.
The Chinese mapped the genes for indica rice, the most common rice type grown in China and other Asian Pacific regions. Work done at Syngenta's Torrey Mesa Research Institute in San Diego was on japonica rice varieties, the most common rice grown in California and in more arid regions. The japonica genome is expected to reveal the gene responsible for vitamin A production.
Science magazine editor Donald Kennedy said the joint public-private represented a spirit of cooperation, it also spawned another controversy.
While the Chinese work will be deposited in a fully accessible online forum called GenBank, the Syngenta work will not be posted there and will be in a proprietary databank controlled by Syngenta. Normally, making such genetic data freely available is a prerequisite for publication in a peer review scientific journal.
Access disappointing
Syngenta pledges to make the information available to academia who pledge not to use it commercially.
UC Davis biologist Ronald and others were disappointed that the access to the Syngenta information will be limited. She said private company collaborations can become stalled in legalese.
Kennedy acknowledged validity of the criticism of the magazine's decision to compromise "accepted community standards" by allowing Syngenta to withhold its information from the GenBank at the time of publication. Syngenta has said it will work with public research institutions to produce a finished version of the rice genome that is 99.99 percent accurate. The finished version will be deposited in the GenBank, according to the company.
Kennedy defended the National Academy of Sciences decision to allow Sygenta propriety rights to the initial sequencing information, saying it was too valuable to squabble over proprietary rights.
The academy made a similar concession with the historic publication of the human genome sequence by a private company.

Feature: XYZ
Short summary (one or two sentences max), explaining the capability that this feature provides.
Feature description
Longer description, possibly practical motivations, references welcome.
e.g. sample Query highlighting necessary syntax extensions, expected output, or modified/extended result format, endpoint self description mock-up syntax, etc.
Existing Implementation(s)
List existing applications, if applicable (e.g. aggregates, we do not want a use case page for every implementation of aggregates, but all implementations listed per use case. Different syntax proposals can be listed as separate subsections in the Examples section)
Existing Specification / Documentation
List any existing text that attempts a formal definition of this extension. This could be a draft specification, API or syntax documentation, etc.
Extensions should be upwards compatible with the previous SPARQL spec. Although the charter does not formally bind us to this requirement, it rule should only be violated in exceptional cases. In case your extension possibly raises any compatibility issues, these should be detailed here.
Links to postponed Issues
Has this extension/use case some history in the group already? I.e. are there posponed issues or archived mail-threads related to this originating from DAWG?
Related Features
List and possibly link to other use cases or extensions that relate to that use case. That will help us grouping them together in the end.
Who would be willing to push/draft the specification/advocate for this feature (name of organization and WG members)?
Use cases
A description of one or more use cases, the solution of which requires this feature. Multiple use cases can be added to each feature.
