Between the chotts
The history of Tozeur goes back a couple thousand years. Through most of its history has been autonomous, and beyond the direct control of Tunisian rulers. With the arrival of the French protectorate, no place in the country resisted new lifestyles and education more than Tozeur.
Houses of Tozeur are decorated with rectangular yellow bricks arranged in patterns. The result is one of the most distinct and beautiful architectural styles of Tunisia. What is even better, is that all new houses implement the same style. If you see a construction site, you will see that load-bearing walls are made in common concrete, and the yellow bricks are added just as decoration.
This almost metropolitan city has surprisingly many bicycles,- very rare in Tunisia, and quite a number of women in black veils covering everything. Note the use of white and black ribbons on their cloaks, blue is married, white is unmarried.

Talk:CH391L/S13/Synthetic Meats and Organs
From OpenWetWareJump to navigationJump to search
- Gabriel Wu 17:51, 25 March 2013 (EDT): As part of the motivation for "shmeat", it's fair to outline the specific controversies with real meat. A little time line might be neat. Things to include can be Sinclair's Jungle, taco bell beef controversy, IKEA horse controversy, and the PETA prize awards.
- Siddharth Das 7:10, 1 April 2013 (EDT): Will do!
- Kevin Baldridge 17:51, 25 March 2013 (EDT):Do synthetic meats have to be exercised?
- Siddharth Das 7:10, 1 April 2013 (EDT): Apparently they do. Exercising stimulates myofibril fusion and thus growth. I assume there is a difference in taste between strong meat and atrophied meat.
- Kevin Baldridge 11:30, 28 March 2013 (EDT):Maybe this is a better way to produce veal, which is intentionally not exercised to remain tender. Much more humane than a suffering baby cow, I think?
- Siddharth Das 7:10, 1 April 2013 (EDT):you bring up an interesting point. Each cut of meat has indicative characteristics that give each cut flavor, texture, and etc. That depends the degree of exercise, vitamins, mineral, and even bone.
- Catherine I. Mortensen 17:55, 25 March 2013 (EDT): Would most synthetic meat end up being similar to spam...?
- Siddharth Das 7:10, 1 April 2013 (EDT): I hope not. From my knowledge, most current sythetic meats look like processed meats similiar to spam. But, the point of bio scaffolding is allow the meat to be molded into almost replica of the meat.
- Catherine I. Mortensen 17:52, 25 March 2013 (EDT): Do you have an idea how long it took to grow the transplanted trachea and other synthetic meats for that matter?
- Siddharth Das 7:10, 1 April 2013 (EDT): two to three weeks
- Evan Weaver 16:56, 25 March 2013 (EDT): In "The Controversy" section, can you add units to the 36.4 number? Is it a ratio?
- Siddharth Das 7:10, 1 April 2013 (EDT): Thanks, I almost forgot. I remember telling myself during my presentation.
Yunle Huang 18:49, 25 March 2013 (EDT):A company called Modern Meadow is trying to make a meat printer. Here, you can see one of the co-founders cooking and eating a sample live. In the video, he gives examples of demand: vegetarians who care about the way animals are treated, and religions that prohibit killing of certain animals. Another co-founder also does a reddit AMA that I found interesting.
- Siddharth Das 13:27, 1 April 2013 (EDT): Very nice citing reddit as a source. In a serious note, these are all relevant issue concerning synthetic meats. Although synthetic meats provides an alternative to killing animals, the religious implications are ridiculous to make. First, you still make this meat from progenitor cells from the animal. If some religious sects can't even drink milk that originates from an animal, I doubt this is a solution. Also, in a strictly vegetarian standpoint, most individuals would have difficulty digesting meat which they have avoided most of their lives. Second, I doubt religions are looking for solution. Even with a solution, most religions won't readily accept the new social precedent (i.e. prop 8).
- Neil R Gottel 14:10, 26 March 2013 (EDT):That Winston Churchill quote is real, in case anyone was wondering (since Churchill has a slew of quotes misattributed to him). It comes from a fairly long article that appeared in a couple different magazines (something called Strand Magazine, and Popular Mechanics). Here's a copy of it. Perhaps more relevant to our class is this line, which appears a few sentences before the synthetic meat line: "Microbes, which at present convert the nitrogen of the air into the proteins by which animals live, will be fostered and made to work under controlled conditions, just as yeast is now."
- Siddharth Das 13:27, 1 April 2013 (EDT): Interesting!
- Catherine I. Mortensen 14:12, 26 March 2013 (EDT):A group of scientists from Japan were able to grow the optic cup of a mouse. [1]
- Siddharth Das 13:27, 1 April 2013 (EDT): Please bring this up in class; this was a very interesting article.
- Evan Weaver 17:05, 26 March 2013 (EDT): Here's a cool video where some researchers take a rat lung and use it to grow human tissue. The decellularized lung looks kind of cool.
- Siddharth Das 13:27, 1 April 2013 (EDT): If Jeff allows, I'd like to share this video to the class.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 12:13, 27 March 2013 (EDT):Sid, you MUST provide attribution for the images that you are reposting in the figure captions. Also, be careful about the copyright of images.
- Siddharth Das 13:27, 1 April 2013 (EDT):I apologize; I'll fix both this and my optogenetics article.
- Thomas Wall 11:29, 28 March 2013 (EDT):so it was requested I post this, it is pretty dubious in my opinion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1N6QfuIh0g)
- Catherine I. Mortensen 11:08, 29 March 2013 (EDT):Haha wow... that made my weekend. If this was actually implemented I would definitely invest in food dye...
- Siddharth Das 13:27, 1 April 2013 (EDT): This was pretty cool!

So, I figured I have a half an hour to kill while the cake bakes. I could go read Harry Potter, or I could try to get caught up on some of my posts. I have goals after all.
Hubby has been laid off since Christmas. While he's been looking for jobs and applying for jobs, he's probably going to be unemployed for a while. Although the drop in income is going to be a struggle, it has been really wonderful having him home. He's been cooking and cleaning and doing laundry. Ok, he always did the laundry, but sweeping the kitchen floor??
Last week I came home from work and was welcomed by a fragrant, savory aroma. It was brine. Hubby had been researching brines online all morning and finally came up with this:
- 1/4 cup Champion Hill Honey
- 6 bay leaves
- 1 1/2 rosemary sprigs
- 1 1/2 T. thyme
- 1 1/2 T. parsley
- 1 whole garlic bulb, skin and all (WHOLE garlic, not just a clove.)
- 1 T. peppercorns
- scant 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 4 cups water
Bring water to a boil in a 2 quart saucepan. Mince the herbs and crush the garlic and spices with a rolling-pin or a mortar and pestle. Add all ingredients into the boiling water, stirring the honey until dissolved. Bring the entire mixture to a boil and then let cool to at least room temperature before proceeding.
Once the brine has cooled, transfer brine to a large, non-reactive bowl and add a 2-ish pound pork roast. Ours was from the half hog we got from Olds Farm late last summer.
Cover with a plate or other weight to keep the pork submerged. Allow the meat to soak in the brine overnight.
After the pork has soaked overnight, remove the meat from its brine and blot it dry. Let the pork rest for thirty minute before cooking.
Cook at 350 degrees until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees. (This took almost an hour, but I started checking every ten minutes after the first thirty. Let the roast rest for ten minute before serving.
This brined pork was delicious! It stayed very moist and the flavor was incredible. We've already discussed trying other herb and spice combinations but have decided that if we try this particular recipe again we will cut the salt by about half.
Since the pork came from a local hog, it was a perfect Dark Days Dinner when served with my Homemade Gnocchi in cream sauce:
- Wash about 2 lbs. of redskin potatoes (Westmaas Farms), stab each with a fork a few times and bake until fully cooked.
- Scoop the insides from the potato skins and deposit them into a bowl.
- Run the potatoes through a ricer or food mill.
- Mix the potatoes with 2 beaten egg yolks, 1 1/2 cups flour (spelt; Organic Bean and Grain) and a pinch of salt.
- Stir until pliable and roll into 3/4″ tubes.
- Cut the tubes into 1″ pieces.
- Pinch each piece to create dimples and drop onto a plate.
- Freeze the gnocchi until firm.
- Cook by dropping into salted, boiling water until the dumplings float or store individually frozen gnocchi in an air-tight container for several months.
After the gnocchis were boiled I dropped them into a hot skillet with a Tablespoon of butter, sprinkled them with a Tablespoon of flour and slowly stirred in Shetler's heavy cream until a thick "Alfredo" sauce was formed. You could add whatever herbs and spices you like to the sauce but I just added salt, pepper and a little minced garlic.

Every session our Legislature considers hundreds of bills, all of which aim to enhance our current status. This year legislators have an incredible opportunity to fundamentally improve the lives of thousands of Vermont students, and make a concrete investment in the future of our state. House Bill H.776 and Senate Bill S.233 expand the existing relationship between our public high schools and colleges to allow more students to take college-level courses while enrolled in high school, earning both secondary and post-secondary credits.
Less than half of Vermont's high school graduates continue their education beyond high school. As the state's population has grown stagnant and our student enrollment has dropped, it is important that we provide opportunities to keep our young people here and thriving in Vermont.
According to labor economists across the country and in Vermont, improving continuation rates of students for education beyond high school is an economic imperative. A high school education is no longer enough to meet the minimum requirements for most employers. Businesses need -- and desire -- employees with the skills and talents they learn in college or in trade or certificate programs.
We face a continued challenge in our effort to close the achievement gap between students from low-income households and their peers. This legislation offers a response to that challenge by making it possible for all students to take advantage of dual enrollment opportunities through courses available at the Vermont State Colleges (including the Community College of Vermont), the University of Vermont, and six of Vermont's independent colleges.
This investment in our students, now and in the coming years, will not only pay dividends in health and welfare, but also in terms of real Vermont dollars, as those individuals will become taxpayers, entrepreneurs and business owners, reduce the burden on social systems, and lift the entire state's economy. Additionally, students will realize savings by starting college not only better prepared, but by having actually received credits for courses completed successfully, which will reduce the heavy student debt load so many experience once they enter the workforce.
Funding for this initiative is already in place through the High School Completion Program (a specialized program including dual enrollment that is funded by a categorical grant from the Education Fund); Next Generation Funds (available at least through 2013 and currently supporting dual enrollment for approximately 650 students from nearly every Vermont high school); and federal funds that support hundreds of students earning college credit in their career and technical education center programs. This legislation seeks to build upon this base to create statewide equity of access.
Expand student aspirations so more students complete high school and are career and college ready; provide an excellent and personalized learning experience for all students; invest in the future workforce of our state; improve the lives of Vermont students now and in the future -- these are just some of the outcomes that are within our reach.
Please join me in supporting H.776 and S.233. Do not let this important opportunity pass us by.
Armando Vilaseca is the commissioner of the Vermont Department of Education. He is a resident of Westford.

A gold miner who got the go-ahead to dredge a half mile section of the Salmon River in Idaho may be calling it quits.
Mike Conklin of Grangeville, Idaho told the Idaho Department of Lands he won't be signing the lease he worked for this past summer. The lease approved by the State Land Board would have given him the exclusive right to mine on a half mile of the Salmon River three hours north of Boise.
Jonathan Oppenheimer with the Idaho Conservation League says he couldn't be happier and he says he's not the only one. "Ultimately its the anglers and the boaters and all the people that treasure the Salmon River and frankly the river itself that's a winner here."
The Idaho Conservation League had filed a legal challenge to stop the mining. Oppenheimer says the League's lawyers will now decide if they should drop the case.
Emily Callihan, the spokeswoman with the Idaho Department of Lands says the Department has asked Conklin for written confirmation.

Whether you are searching for new or antique occasional chairs, you know that it is important to find the right pieces for your home both for great looks and high function.
Perhaps you need a formal piece for your entryway or foyer or something more comfortable for your guest room, to make your visitors feel welcome. Perhaps you are decorating your lounge or den area and you want a club style silhouette to create the atmosphere of a exclusive club in London? Perhaps you want a very elegant French style piece for additional seating in your living room? Or maybe you want somewhere that you can cozy up to relax by the fireside.
Our antique occasional chairs and accent chairs for sale vary, as antiques are one-off pieces and they come and go, so if you see something you like, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss it before someone else snaps it up! It is very typical for us to have antique French chairs in stock, such as a pair of French Renaissance style Hunting thrones in carved oak, dating to around 1880. We also import antiques from China, so we frequently stock Late Qing Dynasty pieces with traditional Chinese carvings. These are so timeless in their design, you can incorporate them into any style of decor.
The first thing to do is assess the space you are shopping for to decide on the size you need. Take measurements so there are no surprises after delivery! Then consider whether you want an antique accent chair that is upholstered or not. Would you like fabric or leather upholstery? Leather is very popular for its luxurious look and long wear, and we have many upholstered with top grain leather in a wide range of colors and a choice of tufted or smooth non-tufted designs. Leather furniture often looks even more impressive with a hand-applied nailhead trim, which adds to the traditional appeal.
High quality materials, solid constructions and traditional furniture making techniques ensure that your occasional chairs will keep looking good and feeling comfortable to sit in, even after years of use. Browse stunning occasional chairs for sale below.

Notice: If you have our Fully Managed Support all of this will be done for you by one of our administrators. Simply open a ticket and they will start work right away.
All of our servers are protected by Full Enterprise level DDoS Protection by default. If you purchased one of our TeamSpeak 3 Servers from us everything is taken care of and perfectly tuned so that server attacks can't affect you. If that's the case you don't need to keep reading. What if you have our TeamSpeak 3 VPS?
Well, all of our TeamSpeak 3 VPS servers that we sell also have DDoS protection specifically designed for TeamSpeak 3, but DDoS attacks aren't the only Issue you face when hosting a server. There are thousands of other types of attacks and with a default VPS you'll still be vulnerable to some of them. We can change that though so read on.
We have to be very careful while writing this guide. Hackers can see this guide just like you can and we prefer to play our cards close to our chest. That being said we will spell out what YOU can do with our service. This can even help some users that don't have a service with us.
The following is a list of things you can do to prevent network level attacks and hackers on the server layer.
- Read and follow every suggestion in our Greatly reduce the chances of your server getting hacked. This will keep you safe and if properly configured prevent your server from being compromised.
- Master the ins and outs of your Firewall Manager. We suggest using CSF Firewall If you can master the use of that firewall you can stop the majority of attacks that are directed at your server that we have not already taken care of.
- If Your Budget allows it have a different IP for every TeamSpeak 3 service (voice, filetransfer, and query). While this isn't a major security improvement, it can greatly help if one IP is bogged down in traffic but the others remain working. It can also help you know what parts of your service attackers are targeting when looking at the logs.
- Try to use Ports other than the defaults for your servers. For example changing the query port from the default 10011 to something like 22222 will cause a lot of people looking to exploit you to suddenly lose interest because they have to do a lot more work to find the right place to point their tools and scripts.
- Make sure you don't add unnecessary IP addresses to your Query Whitelist. If someone gets a hold of one of those IP's they will have no problem taking down your server no matter how much protection you have in place.
- Consider putting a hardware firewall in front of the server. Customers of ours can do this by activating the DDoS customization addon we can then block most malicious traffic before it ever reaches your server. This has lots of benefits because even if you have a software firewall like CSF once the attack gets to the server the server still has to use resources to "Block" that connection. With enough connections the server will still crash. A hardware firewall prevents that scenario since most of the traffic is stopped before reaching your server.
- Don't be toxic or angry. We know this seems kind of self explanatory but you usually only get DDoS'd when someone knows you or you users have a temper or if you've made someone upset. We know that making someone upset can be as simple as winning against them in a video game, but they are like bullies. If the attacks don't "bother" you then they will quickly lose interest and stop.
- Don't give access to anyone unless you trust them. Even if you trust them don't let them have the same power that you have give them their own logins, give them their own powers and permissions and you'll never lose control of the servers.
- Always use the most up-to-date software for your server, TeamSpeak 3, and your clients. They release fixes all the time and when an exploit is found they patch it usually within a day. In all honesty we make it a point to security test each release and only update when there are major improvement or bug fixes. This is due to the fact that sometimes bugs can be introduced in a new update. If you don't have the skill or time to thoroughly vet the security of the installation then we would suggest updating the moment new updates are available.
- Keep a backup of your server handy just in case. Snapshots are fine IF you are installing them back into the same TeamSpeak installation. Moving a Snapshot from one installation to another can cause issues. If you are hosting yourself or using one of our VPS the better option is to backup the ts3server.sqlitedb file. This is the file that has all of your server data in it. You can also take the file and move it literally anywhere on any machine (that has the same architecture) and it will work just like before. If you are a customer of ours you can also just backup your VPS using the control panel and if you ever have an issue you can restore it from the backup.
Sadly, for people that are not customers of ours doing all of the above actions will make it so that your server can't be hacked, but without DDoS protection that is specific to TeamSpeak 3 you can't really eliminate all of your issues. Even servers with generic DDoS protection will still have issues with stopping all attacks. If money is an obstacle we would suggest contacting our sales they will be able to price match any other legal provider, and arrange a payment plan that is within your budget.

Online tracking firm Quantcast has agreed to pay $2.4 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it secretly used Adobe's ubiquitous Flash plug-in to re-create tracking cookies after users deleted them, the company said Saturday.
More than $1 million of the settlement will go to fund privacy groups chosen by the plaintiffs, and 25% will go to the lawyers who filed the suit. It's unlikely that any money will go to the class, since it essentially includes every internet user in the U.S.
UC Berkeley researchers first noted the behavior in August 2009, calling the behavior "zombie cookies," since unique ids handed out by Quantcast would return in a user's browser even after deleting the company's cookie. Quantcast is used by thousands of sites to measure the number of unique visitors and to get information on the kinds of people visiting their site — athletic, older, interested in food, etc.
The company's clients include of the net's biggest websites including ESPN, Hulu and MTV.com.
"We chose to settle the litigation to bring clarity and certainty to our customers and to avoid the burden and cost of further litigation," the company said in a blog post announcing the proposed settlement, which will have to be approved by a federal court judge in Central California.
The announcement comes just days after federal regulators called for browser makers and online ad firms to collaborate to create a "Do Not Track" browser feature that does not rely on cookies or a centralized opt-out list. In announcing the recommendation, the FTC specifically said it was working with Adobe to address abuses of its Flash technology.
Quantcast undid the respawning code within 24 hours of Wired.com's report on the research, and promises in the settlement not to use Flash "to counteract any computer user's decision to either prevent or delete HTTP cookies. The lead researcher on the original study, Ashkan Soltani, has been helping the Wall Street Journal in its ongoing series on web tracking.
The federal suit was filed in July 2010 by Joseph Malley, a Texas-based lawyer who also played key roles in other high profile privacy lawsuits, including a $9.5 million settlement earlier this year from Facebook over its ill-fated Beacon program and a settlement with Netflix after the company gave imperfectly anonymized data to contestants in a movie recommendation contest.
The suit also targeted a wide swath of the net's top websites, including MTV, ESPN, MySpace, Hulu, ABC, NBC and Scribd, which were sued in federal court on the grounds they violated federal computer intrusion law by using Quantcast's technology. The proposed settlement releases those companies from the lawsuit, as well.
Unlike traditional browser cookies, Flash cookies are relatively unknown to web users, and they are not controlled through the cookie privacy controls in a browser. That means even if a user thinks they have cleared their computer of tracking objects, they most likely have not.
Adobe's Flash software is installed on an estimated 98 percent of personal computers, and has been a key component in the explosion of online video, powering video players for sites such as YouTube and Hulu.
Websites can store up to 100 kilobytes of information in the plug-in, 25 times what a browser cookie can hold. Sites such as Pandora.com also use Flash's storage capability to pre-load portions of songs or videos to ensure smooth playback.
QuantCast was using the same user ID in its HTML and Flash cookies, and when a user got rid of the former, Quantcast would reach into the Flash storage bin, retrieve the user's old number and reapply it so the customer's browsing history around the net would not be cut off to its tracking system.
A similar suit is still pending against an ad firm called SpecificMedia.
All modern browsers now include fine-grained controls to let users decide what cookies to accept and which to get rid of, but Flash cookies are handled differently. These are fixed through a web page on Adobe's site, where the controls are not easily understood (there is a panel for Global Privacy Settings and another for Website Privacy Settings — the difference is unclear). In fact, the controls are so odd, the page has to tell you that it is the control, not just a tutorial on how to use the control.
Those who are looking to have more control over their cookies in all forms can find some help in two add-ons for Firefox: BetterPrivacy and Abine

Chicken is a famous game where two people drive on a collision course straight towards each other. Whoever swerves is considered a 'chicken' and loses, but if nobody swerves, they will both crash. So the payoff matrix looks something like this:
B swerves B straight
A swerves tie A loses, B wins
A straight B loses, A wins both lose
But I have heard of another situation called the prisoner's dilemma, where two prisoners are each given the choice to testify against the other, or remain silent. The payoff matrix for prisoner's dilemma also looks like
B silent B testify
A silent tie A loses, B wins
A testify B loses, A wins both lose
I remember hearing that in the prisoner's dilemma, it was always best for both prisoners to testify. But that makes no sense if you try to apply it to chicken: both drivers would crash every time, and in real life, almost always someone ends up swerving. What's the difference between the two situations?

Julia Morgan Papers
MS 010Detailed inventory and background for this collection
Link to items from this collection
Papers contain architectural drawings and plans, office records, photographs, correspondence, project files, student work, family correspondence, and personal papers from the estate of California architect Julia Morgan, who practiced in San Francisco during the first half of the twentieth century. The bulk of the collection extends from 1896, when Morgan left for Paris to study architecture at the Beaux-Arts, to 1945 when her practice began to wind down. A persistent misperception exists that she destroyed records from her fifty-year practice when she retired in 1951. In fact, she carefully preserved many original architectural drawings and other business records, which were given to California Polytechnic State University by her heirs. The National Board of the YWCA; Earl and Wright, Consulting Engineers; Mr. and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Jr.; and other donors who wish to remain anonymous have made significant additional donations to the collection, which are also included in this guide.

Image from CMD SHIFT 3 .NET by Emilio Gomeriz
Everyday we use digital tools to create, edit, and document our work. We click fastidiously into the graphical user interface (GUI) of applications, seeing expected results while trying to ignore the friction of bad design, failed UX, and glitches. Most actions are conducted successfully and the interface holds its transparent position. But despite the GUI's seemingly innocuous presence, its aesthetic leaches its way into our own. How we view our creative process and documentation is minutely and incrementally shifted by the frame of the interfaces we routinely use.
Douglas Engelbart's 1968 demo of NLS (online system)
The current paradigm of the user interface had its first introduction on December 9th in 1968 when Douglas Engelbart demoed his famous NLS (online system) at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in held at the Convention Center in San Francisco, CA. Engelbart and his team at Stanford had an innovative vision driven by desires to improve the ways people communicate and interact with each other and computers. It was the public debut of the mouse. The work produced by his group went on to inspire the most basic interactions used in Xerox's Star graphical user interface and almost every operating system since...

What's Up for April 2011?
Use the big dipper to find Saturn this month.
What's Up for April? Saturn!
Hello and welcome. I'm Jane Houston Jones at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Saturn reaches opposition on April 4.
This is when Saturn and the sun are on opposite sides of the sky, as seen from Earth.
At opposition the planet rises at sunset and sets at sunrise.
It's also physically closest to the Earth in its orbit, so it appears larger and brighter.
In fact, this month it's the only bright planet you'll see at night.
To find Saturn, look for the Big Dipper. Use the handle to make an arc to the star Arcturus.
Then draw a spike to Spica. And you'll see Saturn, glowing a pale golden color, just above Spica.
If you haven't looked at Saturn through a telescope, you're in for a real treat.
Last year the rings appeared nearly edge-on.
But this year you can actually see them as the ring tilt, from our point of view, approaches 10 per cent.
The Cassini spacecraft has been studying the Saturn system for almost 7 years,
sending back data and amazing images of the rings,icy moons,Saturn's magnetosphere, Titan and Saturn itself.
Sound: Radio signals emitted by Saturn Last year amateur astronomers, turned citizen scientists, aimed their astrophotography equipment at Saturn
and discovered a new storm.
The next day they sent their images to Cassini scientists.
And Cassini's instruments studied the storm, too.
When you look at Saturn through a telescope,
you may catch a glimpse of the storm's whitish cloud bands circling the planet.
You'll see some of the larger moons and maybe even small, bright Enceladus.
But you won't be able to see the spewing geysers on Enceladus.
You can read all about Enceladus -- and other sources of water in our solar system --
at solarsystem.nasa.gov/yss for Year of the Solar System.
And you can learn all about NASA's missions at www.nasa.gov
That's all for this month. I'm Jane Houston Jones.

I don't know about you, but the whole "cloud" thing is starting to get a little old. I feel like we're in the 1980s again, when all you had to do was slap "2000" on anything and it was instantly cool. Don't believe me? Would you rather have Windows or Windows "2000". The next fad came with the lowercase "i" on everything. iPods needed iSpeakers and iTunes etc… Now, we have "cloud". If you want to instantly make your business sound legitimate, just add some kind of "cloud" service to the title and you'll garner instant fame, at least that's what some seem to think it will do. Don't get me wrong, cloud computing is serious business, but as cool as it sounds to have your business "in the cloud", where are you going to be when it all comes crashing down?
Cloud Computing's Appeal
Some of you may be wondering what the "cloud" actually is. Isn't a cloud a white puffy thing that floats in the earth's atmosphere? Believe it or not, that's the second result you'll get if you search for "cloud" on Google. In very simple terms, the cloud is a service that is delivered to you via the internet. If you look below, you will see a representation of a laptop at the bottom of the picture. The laptop connects to the internet via it's Internet Service Provider, which could be DSL, 4G, cable etc… The internet is represented with a cloud. The reason for this is because once you get past the physical boundaries of your home or work-space, the route that your computer's data takes is very complex. You have probably been using cloud services for years and didn't even realize that's what it was called. For instance, if you use Hotmail or Gmail for your email service, then you are using software as a service. It is provided to you via the internet, rather than something being stored on your computer.
There are many things to like about cloud computing. Probably its greatest appeal is how easy it is to access your information. For instance, one of my favorite applications is Dropbox. I can create a grocery list on my laptop at home and save it to my Dropbox folder. When I go to the grocery, I use the Dropbox app to open the grocery list and do my shopping right from my phone. From a business standpoint, there are a lot of great advantages to using cloud services too. For instance, I work in the construction industry and we deal with blueprint designs all of the time. Most blueprints are designed using a program called AutoCAD and the files it creates are usually enormous in size. Even if you convert them to PDF format, the drawings are usually still to large to transfer via email. Using a service like Dropbox allows our project managers to share these files with field personnel, which saves the cost of printing the files and putting them in a truck and driving them to a job site.

The election is finally over! My hope is now that the insulting posts on Facebook will cease just as the political ads will. I don't think I posted a single political cartoon or joke on Facebook during this election season, and I was very disheartened by how many of my friends did, on both sides of the aisle. Here are just two representative posts shared by some of my Facebook friends yesterday:
As I was reading my Bible this morning before my prayer time, I came across this verse in which Paul is instructing the church in Ephesus how they should conduct themselves: "Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving." Ephesians 5:4 (NIV). Unfortunately, this has not been heeded this election season (and it's been a long season!).
The type of coarse joking and foolish talk represented by these two posts is not Godly and it is not helpful for those who post or those who read. This type of rhetoric serves only to divide and belittle. It reduces serious issues to often inaccurate sound bites. Republicans, as a general rule, are not in favor of rape because they are pro-life; Democrats, as a general rule, are not unemployed freeloaders. But those are the messages these posts send and I personally find them incredibly insulting.
My hope and prayer is that going forward we can set aside the extreme rhetoric and work towards the common goals of freedom and justice that this country was founded on. My saving grace is that in spite of it all Jesus is still my King.

Hassan al-Zeyada, 50, works as a psychologist at the Gaza Community Mental Health Program's center in Gaza City. He treats several residents who suffer from psychological trauma due to Israeli military operations in the coastal enclave. When his own home was shelled on 20 July, killing six of his family members, he found himself with difficult job of having to treat himself.
No safety
Tackling the psychological problems in Gaza stemming from the aftermath of Israel's Operation Protective Edge, during which nearly 2,000 people in Gaza were killed, will be a huge challenge. UN statistics presented today show that approximately 335,000 people are displaced and live in shelters, schools or with family. These numbers only include persons that registered through local or international NGOs. The real number of displaced people is therefore likely to be higher and is also "expected to rise again if hostilities resume".
With the Israeli military attacking UN shelters, schools and mosques alike, safety is nowhere to be found in the Gaza Strip – a worry Al-Zayara feels quite acutely. "They may hit at any time. There is no safe place. Psychologically, that is the problem," he told the New York Times.
Even with the 72-hour truce entering its third day, many residents of the Gaza Strip do not feel secure enough to permanently move back to their hometowns. Keeping in mind the failure of extending the previous 72-hour truce, former Beit Lahiya resident Hikmat Atta said he is not taking any chances. "We're just going back for the day, at night we'll come back (to the UN shelter)," he told Al-Jazeera yesterday.
Children are the main victims
With half of the Gazan population under the age of 14, children have been the main victims of the latest Israeli military operation. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that 373,000 children in Gaza are in need of direct and specialized psychological support.
High levels of stress felt by worried Gazan parents have a negative influence on their children, argues Dr. Jennifer Leaning, director of FXB Center for Health at Harvard University. "I would say that in all studies of disaster and in war crisis, the fundamental feature that protects children from serious psychological stress is their certainty (…) that their parents or grandparents will be able to protect and hold them."
She adds however that: "The parents and grandparents (…) are in no psychological position to be able to convey that umbrella of hope and safety for their children."
The aftermath of Operation Cast Lead
In 2010, a report presented by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) showed that both teachers and students in Gazan schools faced psychological problems in the aftermath of 2008/9 Operation Cast Lead.
77 per cent of the teachers saw a decline in their students' performance levels. Teachers themselves were struggling to maintain order and 57 per cent of all teachers did not feel safe in their own school.
"If you don't feel safe, you can't help students feel safe," one teacher remarked in the UNESCO-report.
One of the main problems after 'Operation Cast Lead' was the increasing dropout rate of students. A UNESCO survey among 6,000 students showed that many of them had to work to provide for their families after the death of family members who used to provide for them, or to fill in for family members that became unemployed due to the military operation. Some students managed to work during the night while attending school during the day, but they underachieve because they lack the time to properly study and rest.
"I began working (…) one year ago during the war because there was no other source of income for my family. I work 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., sleep, then go back to school at 11 a.m. There is no time to study," a preparatory student remarks in the UNESCO report.
Problems ahead
The Israeli NGO B'Tselem puts the Palestinian death toll after Israel's three-week 2008 'Operation Cast Lead' campaign at 1,385. 'Operation Protective Edge', which has lasted for 36 days thus far, has a running death toll of 1,962. The main difference between the two operations is the amount of civilian casualties. During 'Cast Lead,' half of the casualties were civilians, whereas UN statistics show that 71 per cent during 'Protective Edge' have been civilians.
The high number of civilian casualties in the 2014-operation is expected to correlate with an increasing number of children affected by psychological problems. Bassema Ghamen, a counselor worker for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) stated that counselors have already noticed "serious behavioral changes in children, such as aggression, anger, nervousness and restlessness. Children cannot sleep or fall asleep only to wake up screaming in the middle of the night, clinging to their parents."
The psychological damage faced by Gazan children will also affect future peace negotiations, argues Dr. Jesse Ghannam, a clinical psychiatrist working for UNRWA.
"When we are talking about creating a solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict (…) they aren't growing up interested in peace and wanting to make things better. They just grow up deeply traumatized and very distraught and angry."

Rice also announced a related collaboration agreement with the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil to initiate the shared administration and use of the Blue Gene supercomputer, which allows both institutions to share the benefits of the new computing resource.Rice faculty will use the Blue Gene to further their own research and to collaborate with academic and industry partners on a broad range of science and engineering questions related to energy, geophysics, basic life sciences, cancer research, personalized medicine and more.The collaborative agreement securing Brazil's share of time on Rice's Blue Gene was signed in Sao Paulo March 27 by a delegation that included Rice President David Leebron and USP President João Grandino Rodas. Leebron is traveling with a delegation led by Houston Mayor Annise Parker. The delegation includes Rice Provost George McLendon, Greater Houston Partnership (GHP) President and CEO Jeff Moseley and other GHP members."Collaboration and partnership have a unique place in Rice's history as a pre-eminent research university, and it is fitting that Rice begins its second century with two innovative partnerships that highlight the university's commitments to expanding our international reach, strengthening our research and building stronger ties with our home city," Leebron said.USP is Brazil's largest institution of higher education and research, and Rodas said the agreement represents an important bond between Rice and USP. "The joint utilization of the supercomputer by Rice University and USP, much more than a simple sharing of high-tech equipment, means the strength of an effective partnership between both universities," he said.Mayor Parker, a 1978 Rice alumna, said, "When I was at Rice, it looked inward. Today it looks outward through this agreement. It strengthens not only Rice University but also the city of Houston."Rice's new P series Blue Gene supercomputer, which has yet to be named, is slated to become operational in May. It is based on IBM's POWER processor technology, which was developed in part at the company's Austin, Texas labs. Rice and IBM shared the cost of the system."High-performance computers like the IBM Blue Gene/P are critical in virtually every discipline of science and engineering, and we are grateful for IBM's help in bringing this resource to Rice," McLendon said. "For individual faculty, the supercomputer will open the door to new areas of research. The Blue Gene also opens doors for Rice as the university seeks to establish institutional relationships both in our home city and with critical international partners like USP."Unlike the typical desktop or laptop computer, which have a single microprocessor, supercomputers typically contain thousands of processors. This makes them ideal for scientists who study complex problems, because jobs can be divided among all the processors and run in a matter of seconds rather than weeks or months. Supercomputers are used to simulate things that cannot be reproduced in a laboratory — like Earth's climate or the collision of galaxies — and to examine vast databases like those used to map underground oil reservoirs or to develop personalized medical treatments.USP officials said they expect their faculty to use the supercomputer for research ranging from astronomy and weather prediction to particle physics and biotechnology."This significant investment by IBM is the result of a long-standing collaborative initiative with Rice where together we have developed a unique and substantial computational resource for the research community in Houston, across the country and around the world," said Tony Befi, IBM senior state executive for Texas. "This new computing capability will speed the search for new sources of energy, new ways of maximizing current energy sources, new cancer drugs and new routes to personalized medicine. So we're excited that Rice has now joined an exclusive club of the world's top research organizations who use powerful and energy-efficient Blue Gene supercomputers to solve some of the world's most pressing problems."In 2009, President Obama recognized IBM and its Blue Gene family of supercomputers with the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the most prestigious award in the United States given to leading innovators for technological achievement.Including the Blue Gene/P, Rice has partnered with IBM to launch three new supercomputers during the past two years that have more than quadrupled Rice's high-performance computing capabilities. The addition of the Blue Gene/P doubles the number of supercomputing CPU hours that Rice can offer. The six-rack system contains nearly 25,000 processor cores that are capable of conducting about 84 trillion mathematical computations each second.

Post subject: Dustin Hoffman Interview
Let's get metaphysical
Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin ponder life in L.A., the human condition and their quirky new movie
By Glenn Whipp
Film Writer
When you're looking to hire an existential detective, you want to go with experience.
At least, David O. Russell did. The whacked-out filmmaker's latest movie, "I (Heart) Huckabees," sports several characters seeking answers to life's Big Questions. Not an easy proposition, so they hire a nutty husband-and-wife investigating team, played by Hollywood vets Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin, to follow them around and help them find the meaning of existence.
"Or what we call existence," Hoffman corrects. "Or something like that. I don't know. It's kind of strange, isn't it?"
You could say that. The film has received equal measures of praise and criticism, but the teaming of Tomlin and Hoffman has won across-the-board raves.
"They're intense, smart and have huge hearts," Russell says. "I think they make a great couple."
We sat down with Hoffman, 67, and Tomlin, 65, recently to bandy about the meaning of life, whether or not the universe has it in for us and why a Horny Devil is always a good solution (or distraction) from life's little disappointments..
Q: To prepare for this movie, Mark Wahlberg went into therapy. Did making the "Huckabees" send either of you to a psychologist?.
HOFFMAN: I've already been. I was in therapy before Mark Wahlberg was born..
TOMLIN: Everything in the movie made perfect sense to me. To me, it represents the way things are, the randomness, the connectedness, the strange beauty of life..
Q: Would you want someone following you around all the time?.
HOFFMAN: Don't ask an actor. We always want an audience. "I'm going to the bathroom! I'm taking a shower! Watch me!".
Q: Isabelle Huppert's character, the French nihilist, says, "Once you realize the universe sucks, you have nothing to lose." True or false?.
HOFFMAN: Yes, yes. That's absolutely true. My friend (the playwright) Murray Schisgal said it differently years ago: "Once you realize you're (screwed), you can get on with it.".
TOMLIN: But that's different. If you think the universe sucks too much, you're going to lose your soul..
HOFFMAN: That's true. But the idea being, "There's no way out of this. There's no way away from the randomness of life." You can have the greatest diet in the world and keep your blood pressure down and still get hit by a brick..
TOMLIN: You can say that, but what about all the synchronicity that's happened? You just talked to a guy who grew up with your aunt and your aunt gave him his first pencil to write or something like that. It's not all random. There's a lot of connections..
HOFFMAN: But the thing that you were hitting on and I don't quite understand it - and I've lived long enough to understand it, but I don't - is this notion of why we are disappointed as much as we are on a day-to-day basis? Why? Why? Why?
One of the ways you can tell it, particularly in Los Angeles, is whenever the cars are locked in on the freeway, take a look at everybody. There is such dejection. Why? It's not news. It's like that every day. And yet there's such disappointment.
There is so much to live for and we're so (incredibly) lucky to be able to be in this car and be able to listen to Mozart, yet the human condition is to be disappointed if moment-to-moment life doesn't turn out the way we want it to.
That's the motivation behind drugs and alcohol. It's the illusion, "Now, this is the way life should be.".
TOMLIN: Humans have always been driven to alter their consciousness. It's kind of like an intimacy, too. Intimacy with yourself. It's being open..
HOFFMAN: A beer does it. If you're ever in Santa Monica, you must go to My Father's Office. They serve the great hamburger, but they have 50 types of beer on the wall..
Q: If we go right now - and I believe we should - what are you getting on tap?.
HOFFMAN: (Without hesitation) A Horny Devil..
Q: Your namesake?.
HOFFMAN: The name did intrigue me. But they told me it has double the amount of alcohol than anything else. Over 10 percent. And I'm telling you, I drank half of that, and I was like "Whoa." You've got to have one Horny Devil..
TOMLIN: In your honor, I will, absolutely..
Q: Dustin, did you have a particular Beatle in mind with that haircut in the film? Given the movie's Eastern mysticism, I was thinking of George..
HOFFMAN: George, absolutely. But it was more of an unconscious thing working, and that is these people are stuck in a time when they first invented themselves..
TOMLIN: You know how in "Jules and Jim," Truffaut used that freeze frame a couple of times where Jeanne Moreau was just kind of laughing? And she was such a romantic figure anyway, so Bohemian and here she has two lovers and they're living in the same house and he would freeze frame her laughing.
So way back when I'd be in a Detroit pizzeria with my friends and you'd see me just stop, freeze frame myself and somehow think they'd identify me with Jeanne Moreau and not notice that I was acting completely irrational.
That's what we're talking about - stuck in a moment..
Q: Here's another philosophical musing from the movie: No manure, no magic. Discuss..
HOFFMAN: No manure? What does that mean to you?.
TOMLIN: Without the suffering and pain and disappointment, there's no joy..
HOFFMAN: If you're afraid to get dirty, you're not going to live..
TOMLIN: Take chances, make mistakes, get messy..
HOFFMAN: He works from a great place, David. We did this infomerical for the movie, and he brought in plates filled with mud and asked us to play with the mud as we're talking. And I told a child therapist, who's a friend of mine, about this saying, "I could almost remember doing this as a kid."
And she says, "Sure. One of the things that kids love about that is that it's one of the first feelings of identity. It makes them feel alive." And it's true. It radiates. You feel it. And now that we're so called grown-ups, there's an aversion. "This is what you want us to do? Mud?".
TOMLIN: Our nails are going to get dirty..
HOFFMAN: Right. But you do it and you wonder why you ever objected to it..
Q: Russell must have a thing about mud. There's that sex scene with Jason Schwartzman and Huppert in the marsh ....
TOMLIN: Oh, I remember first reading the script and seeing that scene and thinking, "Why can't (our characters) have a scene like that?".
HOFFMAN: That wasn't on a set. That was real swamp mud they were drinking and inhaling..
TOMLIN: It was. And they were wiping it on each other..
Q: Sounds like you have a thing about mud..
TOMLIN: Well ....
HOFFMAN: I love that scene. We live in a time when art does not generate the passion that it used to. When Stravinsky first did "Rite of Spring," the audience got up at the end of it and threw chairs at the orchestra. I hope this movie provokes the same kind of reaction..
TOMLIN: If only people could throw mud..

Some Google in Your Apps
Launched in the late 1990s at the absolute peak of the dotcom era, Google quickly went on to make an amazing name for itself, becoming one of the most recognized brands in the world. But you already knew that. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a Google search brought you here in the first place.
Let's talk about a different way to use Google: the Google Web API, which gives developers the ability to open a pipe between their apps and Google's amazingly comprehensive index of the web. Although the API doesn't give you access to everything that Google offers via a browser (no Froogle, no Maps, no Groups, etc.), and although (like most things Google) this API is still in beta and isn't exactly suited for commercial applications, the features of the Google API give you the power to write some cool and maybe even useful apps.

The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
Understatement alert!
For investors, 2013 was a very good year. (Sing it, Chairman of the Board! And of course, I mean Frank Sinatra and not Ben Bernanke. Or Jamie Dimon for that matter.)
Stocks have surged this year. And even though there were some minor blips along the way, the Dow and S&P 500 are on track to close out 2013 at record highs.
So naturally, the big question facing investors now is this: Can the market do it again in 2014? The huge gains of 2013 won't matter much if they are replaced by losses next year.
After all, this increasingly myopic market's theme song should be "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" by Janet Jackson.
Fortunately, many investment experts think that stocks will head higher next year. And while I always worry a little bit when few others are worrying about what could go wrong, I'm inclined to
drink the Kool-Aid believe the bull case.
The people I've spoken with are not predicting gains in (wretched?) excess of the 25% that the S&P 500 has enjoyed this year. Returns should be more like the Federal Reserve's two favorite words: modest and moderate.
And there will probably be more volatility along the way. Stocks are overdue for a real correction, a pullback of more than 10% that could shake out some of the more speculative froth in the market.
But with all that said, here are five reasons why stocks should continue to rally in 2014.
Wall Street still ♥s the Fed. And vice versa. Wednesday's big stock market pop after the Fed finally announced it was ready to start cutting back, or tapering, its bond buying program is an encouraging sign.
For one, it shows that investors are finally ready to accept the fact that the economy is strong enough to move along without the Fed's training wheels.
Related: Why stocks soared on the taper
The mere fact that investors can stop wondering when the taper will happen is a huge positive. The endless Hamlet-esque 'to taper or not to taper' speculation was getting ridiculous.
"Every two minutes I seemed to get an email about views on Fed tapering. There is this obsession with the short-term. The big point is that the Fed has to taper because the economy is improving," said Marty Sass, chairman and CEO of investment management firm MD Sass.
And the Fed's decision to just trim its bond purchases from $85 billion a month to $75 billion sends a signal that the central bank realizes it can avoid creating another market taper tantrum with a gradual unwinding of quantitative easing. Win/win.
What's more, there is a seamless transition set to take place at the Fed. Current Fed vice chair Janet Yellen is set to succeed Ben Bernanke when his term expires at the end of next month. Which brings me to my next point.
2014 will not be 1994 all over again for bonds. Now that the Fed has finally gotten the tapering out of the way, investors can get back to focusing on where long-term interest rates should go in a somewhat more normal market environment.
The good news is that few are predicting a massive spike in bond yields like what happened in 1994, when the Fed started to jack up interest rates in response to a strengthening economy.
Yields on the 10-year Treasury note have already surged from a low of 1.6% in May to nearly 3% this year. They won't go much higher as long as the Fed sticks with a slow and steady taper, and as long as the economy does not start to overheat and show signs of inflation.
That's unlikely since a huge component of inflation is rising wages. And even though the job market has improved, it's not roaring. Yellen is viewed by most Fed watchers as being a dove -- someone more worried about high unemployment than inflation. She's not going to change into a bird of a different feather.
"I don't think Janet Yellen will be more hawkish and feel that the Fed is behind the curve on inflation. That would lead to a disorderly move in the bond market," said Jim Swanson, chief investment strategist at MFS Investment Management.
The Great Rotation is finally upon us. With this in mind, all the sources I spoke with for this column felt that the 10-year yield would probably not go much higher than a range of 3.25% to 3.75% in 2014.
That's not enough to cripple economic growth. But it may be a big enough jump to convince investors that stocks are a better bet than bonds once and for all.
In other words, the Great Rotation from bonds will really happen in earnest next year. Investors have begun to take money out of bond funds in the last few months of 2013 after years of binging on fixed income. That trend is likely to continue. And that money will probably find its way to the stock market.
"Stocks could go up another 10% to 15% in 2014. Investors may finally begin to really abandon bonds," said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist with LPL Financial.
The market is not bubbly. A common mistake that investors (and the financial media) make is to declare that something must go down a lot because it has gone up a lot. But stocks at the end of 2013 do not remotely look as irrationally exuberant as they did at the end of 1999.
The S&P 500 is trading at 15 times earnings estimates for 2014, a reasonable valuation considering that analysts are predicting earnings growth of more than 10% next year, according to FactSet Research.
Related: Sticking with momentum stocks isn't a sin
"At the end of the day, stocks are going to follow earnings. Earnings are going to be pretty good. Investors shouldn't make it more complicated than that," said Scott Wallace, founder and CIO of Shorepath Capital Management.
David Lafferty, investment strategist with Natixis Global Asset Management, adds that when you toss in an expected dividend yield of about 2.1% for the S&P 500, a low-double digit return for stocks is completely plausible.
It's the economy, stupid. The U.S. economy does not appear to be at the risk of another recession anytime soon. And the glass appears to be half-full for the rest of the world too.
Many experts feel that gross domestic product in the U.S. could grow at an above 3% clip in 2014. That's still not gangbusters growth. But it's an improvement over the past few years. In fact, Sass thinks that both the U.S. economy and market are in the middle of at least an eight-year long recovery that began in 2009.
Looking abroad, Swanson notes that "China is inching up and Europe is doing better." That should boost the shares of large U.S. multinational companies, the types of firms that have the biggest weighting on the Dow and S&P 500.
Related: China's economy powers ahead in third quarter
And Eric Chaney, chief economist for AXA Group in Paris, said that a global economic rebound is good news for markets around the world. He thinks there is "zero chance of a hard landing in China" and that bank restructuring in Europe will help that continent continue to emerge from its economic funk.
So there you have it. Hopefully the bulls I spoke with are right. And isn't it nice to end the year on a cheery note? Enjoy the holidays everyone! The Buzz will be back on January 2, 2014.
But wait! There's still time for one final ...
Reader Comment of the Week! I wrote about Tesla (TSLA) on Tuesday. The stock has been undeniably one of the top investing stories of 2013. The column included a holiday-themed image of Tesla's electric car. But one Twitter follower said it was not an accurate portrayal of the Model S.
Don't make me ask Elon Musk for another blog post about how running over large metal objects is not good for your car!
And that's that.

UNC Lineberger Research Provides New Insights Into Deadly Brain Cancer
New findings by researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center suggest that the most common form of malignant brain cancer in adults, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is probably not a single disease but a set of diseases, each with a distinct underlying molecular disease process.
The study, published by Cell Press in the January issue of the journal Cancer Cell, provides a solid framework for investigation of future targeted therapies that may improve the near uniformly fatal prognosis of this devastating cancer.
"Previous work has established that gene expression profiling can be used to identify distinct subgroups of GBM," says senior study author, Dr. D. Neil Hayes from the Division of Hematology/Oncology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "However, the exact number and clinical significance of these was unclear." Dr. Hayes and colleagues at UNC Lineberger expanded on previous GBM classification studies and used expression profiling techniques to comprehensively analyze hundreds of GBM patient samples. The group was able to reliably identify four distinct molecular subtypes of GBM tumors.
The researchers, part of the National Institutes of Health's The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network, then went on to perform a unique integrative analyses across multiple platforms to look for defining characteristics associated with each subtype. Their findings were quite striking, implying that there are distinct types of GBM and that each one is associated with a specific molecular process. "We discovered a bundle of events that unequivocally occur almost exclusively within a subtype," explains Dr. Hayes.
The researchers also report that the nature of these events indicate that the underlying disease process for each subtype may involve distinct cells of origin at a specific stage of differentiation. This is finding has potential clinical significance as determining the cells of origin of GBM is critical for establishing effective treatment regimens. Clearly, given this new information, it makes sense that some drug classes would be expected to work for some tumor subtypes and not other. In support of this conclusion, Dr. Hayes's group found that response to aggressive chemotherapy and radiation differed by subtype.
Taken together, the findings represent an important step towards more rational therapies for GBM. "It appears that the simple classification into these four subtypes carries a rich set of associations for which there is no existing diagnostic test," says Dr. Hayes "This comprehensive genomic and genetic-based classification of GBM should lay the groundwork from an improved molecular understanding of GBM pathway signaling that could ultimately result in personalized therapies for groups of patients with GBM."
Significant work on this project was shared by TCGA researchers, Dr. Roel Verhaak of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Boston and Dr. Katie Hoadley of UNC Lineberger and the Department of Genetics at UNC-Chapel Hill. Other UNC Lineberger team members include postdoctoral fellow Matthew Wilkerson, Dr. Ryan Miller, and Dr. Charles M. Perou. Other collaborating institutions include the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA; The Genome Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis; MO, the Lawrence Berkeley national Laboratory in Berkeley, CA; the University of California, San Francisco; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; SRA International, Fairfax, VA; and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Victoria, Australia.
