When a man sets a woman's hair on fire, then masturbates and ejaculates on her head to put it out. This term is also valid when a female who is capable of squirting lights a man's hair on fire.

Tue Dec 14 2010 (Updated 11/21/11)Protests in Santa Cruz to Support Bradley Manning and WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange
Tue Dec 14 2010 (Updated 11/21/11)Informational Protest on Dec. 18 and Rally on Jan. 8th to Support WikiLeaks
Private First Class Bradley Manning is facing up to 60 years in prison for allegedly leaking information through WikiLeaks that expose U.S. war crimes. Among these is helicopter gunship video that shows U.S. troops nonchalantly mowing down two journalists, first aid respondents, and children with machine gun fire. The perpetrators of these crimes are not being punished, even with video proof of the cold blooded murders. Instead, the military brass are prosecuting Bradley Manning.
The leaked documents come from the Internet investigative site, WikiLeaks. Editor and chief of this site is Julian Assange. WikkiLeaks has released 90,000 documents on the war in Afghanistan and 350,000 on the war in Iraq. These documents detail executions at U.S. checkpoints, the torture of detainees, the sectarian carnage unleashed by the occupation of Iraq, and the U.S."Task Force 373", a team of professional assassins responsible for numerous massacres in Afghanistan. These atrocities started under Bush and have continued, without respite, under Barack Obama, including Obama's "reduced" occupation force in Iraq.
The newly formed Santa Cruz Coalition to free Julian Assange and Bradley Manning has organized two demonstrations to support Assange and Manning, while calling for an end to the of U.S. occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. An informational protest was held on December 18th. (Photos). On Saturday, January 8th, there will be a rally and march beginning at 1pm at the Clock Tower on Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz.

Get a load of this stealthy new Xbox One controller and headset
I'm not sure when camouflage pattern became the new thing for controllers, but the Xbox One is not going to be left out of this trend.
The Armed Forces controller and headset will release in North America in October, and will set you back $64 and $90 respectively.
In addition to the military colour scheme, the D-pad is "metallic chrome".
You may gaze upon these wonders below. If you find yourself feeling a bit tight in the pockets as a result, maybe you want to look at the urban camo PS4 controller, the arctic camo Xbox 360 controller, or the – uh – camo camo Xbox 360 controller.

The Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force acts as a subcommittee to the Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) at ARC. Membership consists of city and county transportation staff, recreation and planning departments within the Atlanta region, representatives from state and federal agencies and advocacy groups. The Task Force is also open to any interested individual or group.
The Task Force meets to advise on updates the regional plan, to address bicycle and pedestrian issues as part of the long- and short-range transportation planning process at ARC, and to serve as an information exchange forum.
Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month at 10 a.m. in the Harry West Room at ARC.
Walking and bicycling provide convenient, healthy, and fun transportation options for many trips in the Atlanta region. As transportation costs and congestion increase, walking and bicycling continue to grow in importance here and around the country.
ARC has been promoting safe, functional, and regional bicycle and pedestrian planning since 1973, and continues to update its process to address new needs and trends.
Walk Bike Thrive! is the official walking and bicycling plan and policy of the Atlanta Regional Commission.
The goal of the plan is to support active communities across metropolitan Atlanta where bicycling and walking are safe, healthy, fun, and normal daily activities. The strategies outlined in ARC's plan aim to improve the safety, mobility, and economic growth of our region.
The plan is divided into three parts: Recommendations; Regional Travel Assessment & Existing Conditions; and Public Participation & Priority Topics:
This plan was adopted by ARC's board in May 2016 and is intended to serve as the active transportation component of The Atlanta Region's Plan. Questions or comments on the document can be emailed to email@example.com.
ARC's former bike/ped plan adopted September 26, 2007; replaced by Walk Bike Thrive! as of May 25, 2016. PDFs for reference:
The following maps are taken from the 2007 Bike/Ped Plan documentation. Each map is also available upon request in a size formatted for plotter printing.
Over 2013 and 2014 the ARC staff focused on planning, outreach, and research to achieve a better understanding of active transportation in the metro Atlanta region. Projects have included a Regional Bicycle User Survey, a review of project solicitation and program procedures around active transportation funding, and non-motorized travel assessment mapping

Release Date:
April 24, 2012
Rating: r - Graphic Violence, Profanity
A pair of self-styled ghost chasers hunt for spirits in a run-down New England inn in this subtle thriller from director Ti West. The Yankee Pedlar Inn is a hotel in Torrington, CT, that's been welcoming guests for over a hundred years. However, not many have been stopping by lately, and the owners have chosen to shut it down. In the Yankee Pedlar's last weeks of operation, the staff have been reduced to just two people, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy). Neither one is especially interested in hotel management, but they're both students of the supernatural: They've come to the Yankee Pedlar because it has a reputation for being haunted and they want to see for themselves if ghosts walk the halls before it's too late. The two spend their time searching the empty rooms for evidence of paranormal activity, which Luke will post on his website (if he ever finishes it), but they don't find much until an eccentric woman (Kelly McGillis) who shares their fascination with ghosts checks in. Together, they begin to discover the truth about the Yankee Pedlar's strange legacy. The Innkeepers received its world premiere at the 2011 ~South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

I went to this office because i was sent there by my dentist. I wasn't looking forward to this because of everything id heard about root canals in the past. Also, the reviews found on this page can be misleading. I called and they ran my insurance and later on that same day they called back and told me what my financial obligation was going to be and I thought that was impressive. They actually picked me up at my house because I didn't have a ride and the young man that took care of that service was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I saw a lady doctor and her assistant Maria and they were very nice. I felt I was in a 5 star hotel or something. They were so pleasant and accommodating. I got someone to pick me up after the treatment and they told me to call if I had any questions. I think I called them 3 times for different questions I had and they were able to answer them and another doctor that also works there even called me back personally to answer one of my questions. Nice place, super people.

It is believed that 33 forestry scientists will be sacked following the $110 million budget cut handed to the CSIRO as part of the federal budget, ending more than 80 years of forestry research by the leading research body.
Tasmanian Opposition Leader Will Hodgman has announced that if the Liberal party is elected in this Saturday's election that forestry subsidies will be cut.
The Tasmanian timber industry is on life support, costing taxpayers an estimated $750 million over the past decade.
Professor Carmen Lawrence says the structures for protecting heritage in Australia are not up to the task.
Almost 10 years ago, John Howard's Coalition government re-wrote laws protecting Australia's natural, built and cultural heritage.
Environment Minister Tony Burke has confirmed there will be no further federal protection for the Tarkine.
The Tarkine is a great swathe of globally significant rainforest, heathlands, unique karst or cave formations and wild coastline in north-western Tasmania.
Ancient trees and old-growth trees are on the decline.
With the ink barely dry on last week's peace deal on the Tasmanian forests, it has emerged that a price on carbon was a key part of the agreement ... and it will deliver a huge financial windfall to the Federal Government.

Database Licensing & Sustainability
Update (07/28/16): DrugBank/OMx have updated the licensing conditions for DrugBank data in response to concerns raised earlier by various people and groups. See here for a detailed response from Craig Knox
A few days back I came across, via my Twitter network, the news that DrugBank had changed their licensing policy to CC BY-SA-NC 4.0. As such this is not a remarkable change (though one could argue about the NC clause, since as John Overington points out the distinction between commercial and non-commercial usage can be murky). However, on top of this license, the EULA listed a number of more restrictive conditions on reuse of the data. See this thread on ThinkLab for a more detailed discussion and breakdown.
This led to discussion amongst a variety of people regarding the sustainability of data resources. In this case while DrugBank was (and is) funded by federal grants, these are not guaranteed in perpetuity. And thus DrugBank, and indeed any resource, needs to have a plan to sustain itself. Charging for commercial access is one such approach. While it can be problematic for reuse and other Open projects, one cannot fault the developers if they choose a path that enables them to continue to build upon their work.
Interestingly, the Guide to Pharmacology resource posted a response to the DrugBank license change, in which they don't comment on the DrugBank decision but do point out that
The British Pharmacological Society (BPS) has committed support for GtoPdb until 2020 and the Wellcome Trust support for GtoImmuPdb until 2018. Needless to say the management team (between, IUPHAR, BPS and the University of Edinburgh) are engaged in sustainability planning beyond those dates. We have also just applied for UK ELIXIR Node consideration.
So it's nice to see that the resource is completely free of any onerous restrictions until 2020. I have no doubt that the management team will be working hard to secure funding beyond that date. But in case they don't, will their licensing also change to support some form of commercialization? Certainly, other resources are going down that path. John Overington pointed to BioCyc switching to a subscription model
@larsjuhljensen @nathanbroon @ChEMBL Restrictive licenses for many previously Open resources, e.g. https://t.co/ASulYRxFfn 1/2
— John P. Overington (@johnpoverington) May 9, 2016
So the sustainability of data resources is an ongoing problem, and will become a bigger issue as the links between resources grows over time. Economic considerations would suggest that permanent funding of every database cannot happen.
So clearly, some resources will win and some will lose, and the winners will not stay winners forever.
Open source software & transferring leadership
However in contrast to databases, many Open Source software projects do continue development over pretty long time periods. Some of these projects receive public funding and also provide dual licensing options, allowing for income from industrial users.
However there are others which are not heavily funded, yet continue to develop. My favorite example is Jmol which has been in existence for more than 15 years and has remained completely Open Source. One of the key features of this project is that the leadership has passed from one individual to another over the years, starting I think with Dan Gezelter, then Bradley Smith, Egon Willighagen, Miguel Rojas and currently Bob Hanson.
Comparing Open software to Open databases is not fully correct. But this notion of leadership transition is something that could play a useful role in sustaining databases. Thus, if group X cannot raise funding for continued development, maybe group Y (that obviously benefits from the database) that has funding, could take over development and maintenance.
There are obvious reasons that this won't work – maybe the expertise resides only in group X? I doubt this is really an issue, at least for non-niche databases. One could also argue that this approach is a sort of proto-crowdsourcing approach. While crowdsourcing did come up in the Twitter thread, I'm not convinced this is a scalable approach to sustainability. The "diffuse motivation" of a crowd is quite distinct from the "focused motivation" of a dedicated group. And on top of that, many databases are specialized and the relevant crowd is rather small.
One ultimate solution is that governments host databases in perpetuity. This raises a myriad issues. Does it imply storage and no development? Is this for all publicly funded databases? Or a subset? Who are the chosen ones? And of course, how long will the government pay for it? The NIH Commons, while not being designed for database persistence, is one such prototypical infrastructure that could start addressing these questions.
In conclusion, the issue of database sustainability is problematic and unsolved and the problem is only going to get worse. While unfortunate for Open science (and science in general) the commercialization of databases will always be a possibility. One hopes that in such cases, a balance will be struck between income and free (re)usage of these valuable resources.
SLAS 2017: Let There Be Light: Informatics Approaches to Exploring the Dark Genome
I'm organizing a symposium at the 2017 SLAS meeting in Washington D.C in the Data Analysis and Informatics track. The topic of the symposium focuses on informatics approaches that shed light and explore the dark genome. The description is given below, and I hope you'll consider submitting an abstract.
With efforts such as the NIH-funded Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG) program, there is great interest and a pressing need to understand the "dark genome" — the subset of genes that have little to no information about them in the literature or databases. This session will focus on current efforts by members of the IDG program and the community in general on developing informatics resources for data aggregation and integration, target prioritization and platform development. In addition, topics such as characterization of druggability and novel approaches to connecting heterogeneous datasets that allow us to shed light on the dark genome will be considered.
The deadline is Aug 8, 2016 and you can submit an abstract here.
Differential Dose Response – Some More Exploration
This is a follow on to my previous post that described a recent paper where we explored a few ways to characterize the differential activity of small molecules in dose response screens. In this post I wanted to highlight some aspects of this type of analysis that didn't make it into the final paper.
TL;DR there's more to differential analysis of dose response data than thresholding and ranking.
Comparing Model Fits
One approach to characterizing differential activity is to test whether the curve fit models (in our case 4-parameter Hill models) are indistinguishable or not. While traditionally, ANOVA could be used to test this, it assumes that the models being compared are nested. This is not the case when testing for effects of different treatments (i.e., same model, but different datasets). As a result we first considered the use of AIC – but even then, applying this to the same model built on different datasets is not really valid.
Another approach (described by Ritz et al) that we considered was to refit the curves for the two treatments simultaneously using replicates, and determines whether the ratio of the AC50's (termed the Selectivity Index or SI) from the two models was different from 1.0. We can then test the hypothesis and determine whether the SI was statistically significant or not. The drawback is that it, ideally, requires that the curves differ only in potency. In practice this is rarely the case as effects such as toxicity might cause a shift the in the response at low concentrations, partial efficacy might cause incomplete curves at high concentrations and so on.
We examined this approach by fitting curves such that the top and bottom of the curves were constrained to be identical in both treatments and only the Hill slope and AC50 were allowed to vary.
After, appropriate correction, this identified molecules that exhibited p < 0.05 for the hypothesis that the SI was not 1.0. Independent and constrained curve fits for two compounds are shown alongside. While the constraint of equal top and bottom for both curves does lead to some differences compared to independent fits (especially from the point of view of efficacy), the current data suggests that the advantage of such a constraint (allowing robust inference on the statistical significance of SI) outweighs the disadvantages.
Variance Stabilization
Finally, given the rich literature on differential analysis for genomic data, our initial hope was to simply apply methods from that domain to the current problems. However, variance stabilization becomes an issue when dealing with small molecule data. It is well known from gene expression experiments that that the variance in replicate measurements can be a function of the mean value of the replicates. If not taken into account, this can mislead a t-test into identifying a gene (or compound, in our case) as exhibiting non-differential behavior, when in fact it is differentially expressed (or active).
The figure below compares the standard deviation (SD) versus mean of each compound, for each parameter in the two treatments (HA22, an immunotoxin and PBS, the vehicle treatment). Overlaid on the scatter plot is a loess fit. In the lower panel, we see that in the PBS treatment there is minimal dependency of SD on the mean values, except for the case of log AC50. However, for the case of HA22 treatment, each parameter shows a distinct dependence of SD on the mean replicate value.
Many approaches have been designed to address this issue in genomic data (e.g., Huber et al, Durbin et al, Papana & Ishwaran). One of the drawbacks of most approaches is that they assume a distributional model for the errors (which in the case of the small molecule data would correspond to the true parameter value minus the calculated value) or a specific model for the mean-variance relationship. However, to our knowledge, there is no general solution to the problem of choosing an appropriate error distribution for small molecule activity (or curve parameter) data. A non-parametric approach described by Motakis et al employs the observed replicate data to stabilize the variance, avoiding any distributional assumptions. However, one requirement is that the mean-variance relationship be monotonic increasing. From the figure above we see that this is somewhat true for efficacy but does not hold, in a global sense, for the other parameters.
Overall, differential analysis of dose response data is somewhat of an open topic. While simple cases of pure potency or efficacy shifts can be easily analyzed, it can be challenging when all four curve fit parameters change. I've also highlighted some of the issues with applying methods devised for genomic data to small molecule data – solutions to these would enable the reuse of some powerful machinery.
Analysing Differential Activity in Dose Response Screens
My colleagues and I recently published a paper where we explored a few methods to identify differential behavior in dose response screens. While there is an extensive literature about analyzing differential effects in genomic data (e.g. mciroarrays, RNAseq), these methods are based on distributional assumptions that holds for genomic data. This is not necessarily the case for small molecule, dose response data. A separate post will explore this aspect.
So we couldn't directly apply the methods devised for genomic data. Another issue that we wanted to address was the lack of replicates. As a result certain methods are excluded from consideration (e.g., t-test based methods). The simplest case (or what we refer to as obviously differential) is when a compound is active in one treatment and completely inactive in the other. This is trivial to characterize. The next method we considered was to look at fold changes for individual curve fit parameters and then choose an arbitrary threshold. This is not a particularly robust approach, and has no real statistical basis. However, such thresholding is still used in a number of scenarios (e.g., cherry picking in single point screens). In addition, in this approach you have to choose one of many parameters. So finally, we considered a data fusion approach, that ranked compounds using the rank product method. This method employed potency, response at the highest concentration and the AUC. The nice thing about this method is that it doesn't require choosing a threshold, provides an empirical p-value and is flexible enough to include other relevant parameters (say, physicochemical properties).
Finally, we examined how single point data (modeled using the response at the highest concentration) compared to dose response data at identifying differential actives. As one might expect, the obviously differential compounds were easily identified. However for compounds active in both treatments, the single point approach led to more false positives. Thus, even those dose response is more resource-intensive, the improved accuracy makes it worth it.
In the next post I'll look at some of the issues that didn't make in to this paper – in particular hypothesis based tests that focus on testing differences between model fits. One key observation (also suggested by Gelman) is that strict p-value cutoffs lead one to focus on obvious or well-known effects. For small-scale exploratory analyses such as described in this paper, a more relaxed threshold of 0.1 might be more suitable, allowing marginal effects that may, however, be biologically interesting to be considered.
Call For Papers: Shedding Light on the Dark Genome – Methods, Tools & Case Studies
252nd ACS National Meeting
Philadelphia, Aug 21-25, 2016
CINF Division
Dear Colleagues, we are organizing a symposium at the Fall ACS meeting in Philadelphia focusing on computational, experimental and hybrid approaches to characterizing the unstudied and understudied druggable genome. In 2014 the NIH initiated a program titled, "Illuminating the Druggable Genome" (IDG) with the goal of improving our understanding of the properties and functions of proteins that are currently unannotated within the four most commonly drug-targeted protein families – GPCRs, ion channels, nuclear receptors and kinases. As part of this program a Knowledge Management Center (KMC) was formed, as a collaboration between six academic center, who's goal was to develop an integrative informatics platform to collect data, develop data driven prioritization schemes, analytical methods and disseminate standardized/annotated information related to the unannotated proteins in the four gene families of interest.
In this symposium, members of the various components of the IDG program will present the results of ongoing work related to experimental methods, target prioritization, data aggregation and platform development. In addition, we welcome contributions related to the identification of druggable targets, approaches to quantify druggability and novel approaches to integrating disparate data source with the goal of shedding light on the "dark genome"
The deadline for abstract submissions is March 29, 2016. All abstracts should be submitted via MAPS at http://bit.ly/1mMqLHj. If you have any questions feel free to contact Tudor or myself

Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
Numbers 19:2-3
The true heading of all the books of Moses is to be found in the words of Jesus, "Moses wrote of me." Take the Lord Jesus Christ with you as a key, and however difficult the riddles of Leviticus or Numbers may at first sight appear, there is not one enigma in the whole collection which will not speedily open and yield instruction. To the Israelites themselves, these rites and ceremonies must have been rather an exercise of faith, than a means of instruction.…To us, the types are not a dark mystery to perplex our faith, but an open vision to delight our eyes. Having believed in Christ Jesus, having received Him as the Father's sent One, and being reconciled unto God by His death, we look back to the ceremonies of the old law as the patterns of heavenly things, to endeavour to discover some new light in which the Saviour's beauties may be set, and to behold Him from some different point of view, so that we may love Him the better, and may trust Him the more.
Now, the particular point to which the red heifer referred, concerning Christ and His work, is just this—the provision which is made in Christ Jesus for the daily sins and failings of believers.… the red heifer most beautifully sets forth Christ as being the constant purification of His people, that they, having their consciences purged from dead works, may have power to worship acceptably the living and true God. (C. H. Spurgeon, The Treasury of the Old Testament, Vol. 1, (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House) 1962, p. 359)
