Lorsque des auteurs se lancent dans une saga vouée à durer, ils font souvent le
nécessaire pour que leurs personnages, leur histoire et/ou leur background soient
accrocheurs et filent l’envie aux lecteurs de poursuivre l’aventure dans les tomes
à venir. Des manÅ“uvres de la sorte, il en existe des légions. Et pas que
des souveraines. Car même avec la plus noble des volontés (de faire au mieux), la
suite des évènements n’est que très rarement à la hauteur... A ce

BMC Bioinformatics -

Publication Date: 2008 Dec 1 PMID: 19046436br/Authors: Su, S. Y. - White, J. - Balding, D. J. -
Coin, L. J.br/Journal: BMC Bioinformaticsbr/br/ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The power of haplotype-based
methods for association studies, identification of regions under selection, and ancestral
inference, is well-established for diploid organisms. For polyploids, however, the difficulty of
determining phase has limited such approaches. Polyploidy is common in plants and is also observed
in animals. Partial polyploidy is sometimes observed in humans (e.g. trisomy 21; Down's syndrome),
and it arises more frequently in some human tissues. Local changes in ploidy, known as copy number
variations (CNV), arise throughout the genome. Here we present a method, implemented in the
software polyHap, for the inference of haplotype phase and missing observations from polyploid
genotypes. RESULTS: PolyHap allows each individual to have a different ploidy, but ploidy cannot
vary over the genomic region analysed. It employs a hidden Markov model (HMM) and a sampling
algorithm to infer haplotypes jointly in multiple individuals and to obtain a measure of
uncertainty in its inferences. In the simulation study, we combine real haplotype data to create
artificial diploid, triploid, and tetraploid genotypes, and use these to demonstrate that polyHap
performs well, in terms of both switch error rate in recovering phase and imputation error rate for
missing genotypes. To our knowledge, there is no comparable software for phasing a large, densely
genotyped region of chromosome from triploids and tetraploids, while for diploids we found polyHap
to be more accurate than fastPhase. We also compare the results of polyHap to SATlotyper on an
experimentally haplotyped tetraploid dataset of 12 SNPs, and show polyHap is more accurate. With
the availability of large SNP data in polyploids and CNV regions, CONCLUSIONS: We believe that
polyHap, our proposed method for inferring haplotypic phase from genotype data, will be useful in
enabling researchers analysing such data to exploit the power of haplotype-based
analyses.br/br/post to: a href =

!-- pageType= magazinesmall slug= st_kia section= techbiz subsection= people headline= Mr.
Know-It-All: Call-Center Etiquette, Offensive Podcasts, Awkward Transactions authorName= Brendan I.
Koerner creditType= illustration credit= Christoph Niemann -- p strong Dear Mr. Know-It-All, is it
cool to ask call-center operators what country they're in? I'm not a bigot or opposed to
outsourcing, but I like to know who I'm dealing with./strong /p pFire away with the geolocation
query, but be wary of how you broach the topic. Call-center operators deal with countless
xenophobic jerks, who typically follow the "Where are you located?" question with a stream of
invective. An operator may thus turn defensive in anticipation of the same treatment from
youmdash;unless you're careful with your tone and timing. "If the very first thing out of your
mouth is, 'Hey, what country are you in,' I think that's rude," says a
href="http://www.kathleenpeterson.com/"Kathleen Peterson/a, founder of PowerHouse Consulting, which
advises call-center operations. Resolve your business first, then feel free to ask about location
when there's a natural lull in the conversation. At that point, make sure your voice exudes
affability, as if you were simply inquiring about the weather in Omaha./p pAnd, should you learn
you're on the horn with someone on the planet's flip side, go easy on the inane chitchat. "A
call-center agent has a job to do and probably doesn't want to answer questions about the
population of Bangalore," says a href="http://www.globaltelesourcing.com/exper-colton.htm"Bill
Colton/a, president of Global Telesourcing, a call-center service provider./p pThe operator may
decline to answer your question or try to convince you that he's in Kansas even though his accent
screams Ukraine. Such deception indicates that a company either wants to hide the fact that it's
outsourcing or doesn't think too highly of its customersmdash;make a mental note of it./p
pstrongI've been helping my nongeek friend build a Flash-intensive Web site. It's gotten to the
point where I'm spending a dozen hours a week on it. How should I ask for compensation?/strong/p
pYour pal surely didn't intend to exploit you. Odds are he doesn't know how much work goes into
codingmdash;an impression you encouraged by not demanding dough up front./p pAssuming you want this
relationship to survive, bring up the problem without making your friend feel like a total heel. a
href="http://www.negotiatingwithgiants.com/introduction.html"Peter D. Johnston/a, the author of
emNegotiating with Giants/em, recommends telling him that a sudden influx of paying gigs precludes
you from doing more work, but you'd be happy to point him to a replacement. "That approach can get
the issue of time and payment out on the table in a nonthreatening way," Johnston says. Presuming
he's hesitant to switch horses midstream, your pal should offer to make his project worth your
while./p pRefrain from pressing for back pay, however, or you're likely to look like a greedy ass.
Those hours you've already spent slaving away in the digital mines? Consider them a lesson in the
veracity of an age-old maxim: "Never mix business with pleasure."/p p div id="embed" div

id="caption"emIllustration: Christoph Niemann/em/div /div /div strongEveryone in my office has
sharing enabled on iTunes. One of my coworker's libraries contains several podcasts of sermons I
find highly offensivemdash;they contain lots of antigay blather. Should I confront her?/strong/p
pIt depends on how you gleaned those sermons' content. If you couldn't help noticing incendiary
titles along the lines of "Fags Go to Hell," then a little indirect confrontation is in
ordermdash;tell a manager, pronto./p pBut if the titles were innocuous, and you thus had to listen
to the podcasts in order to be offended, pause a moment before taking action. You may have a valid
case, but you'll have to decide whether this fight can ever yield anything more than a Pyrrhic
victory./p pIt would be one thing if your colleague was blasting these sermons through her speakers
for all to hearmdash;or, for that matter, telling everyone around the watercooler about the Lord's
contempt for sodomites. But a shared iTunes environment such as yours is strictly opt-inmdash;you
can easily avoid listening to the offensive content./p pThe best meatspace parallel is a coworker
who keeps a small stack of religious pamphlets in plain view, which you can just ignore. True,
there have been cases in which employers have been successfully sued for writing Bible verses on
paychecks or broadcasting prayers over public address systems. But those situations were a lot more
in-your-face than what's going on heremdash;in part because they involved bosses rather than
colleagues, but also because the employees couldn't escape the proselytizing./p pAn aggressive
lawyer could still argue that the mere presence of those tracks on the network creates a hostile
workplace. But that strikes Mr. Know-It-All as making a sermon on the mount out of a sermon on a
molehill, especially considering that the suit could very well be a losermdash;you might be
hard-pressed to prove that the screeds, tucked away in an iTunes library, are severe or pervasive
enough to constitute harassment./p pAs odious as you might find your coworker's views, it's
probably best to give her a pass. Look on the bright sidemdash;now you know who to avoid at the
office holiday party./p pemNeed help navigating life in the 21st century? Email us at /ema

Citizen version/a, a href="http://www.thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2008/12/02/SpamHaven/"The Tyee
version/a, a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/3552/159/" homepage version/a) focuses
on the state of anti-spam legislation in Canada.nbsp; It notes that the recent a
href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/3539/125/" Facebook case/a has placed the spotlight
on Canadarsquo;s ongoing failure to address its spam problem by introducing long overdue anti-spam
legislation.nbsp; The fact that organizations are forced to use U.S. courts and laws to deal with
Canadian spammers points to an inconvenient truth - Canadian anti-spam laws are woefully inadequate
and we are rapidly emerging as a haven for spammers eager exploit the weak legal framework. br / br
/br /Canada initially recognized the need to address the spam issue with formation in 2004 of a
National Task Force on Spam that included a broad cross-section of marketers, telecom companies,
and public policy groups (I was a member of the task force).nbsp; The Task Force unanimously
recommended that the government introduce anti-spam legislation.br / br / Years later, the issue
continues to languish on the legislative agenda.nbsp; Successive governments - both Conservative
and Liberal - have failed to introduce legislation (the notable exception is a Private Member#39;s
bill introduced by Senator Yoine Goldstein earlier this year).nbsp; During this fall#39;s election
campaign, the Conservatives promised to address the issue, yet a commitment to anti-spam
legislation was missing from the recent Speech from the Throne that outlined the government#39;s
forthcoming priorities. br / br / The continuing delays are particularly problematic given the
increasingly criminal nature of spam.nbsp; Once regarded as a mere nuisance, the recent flood of
spam spoofing the Canada Revenue Agency that encouraged recipients to forward highly sensitive
personal information highlights the very real dangers of identity theft that can result from spam
activities.br / br / The Facebook case is only the latest illustration that government inaction has
had an impact.nbsp; Companies anxious to target Canadian-based spammers have been forced to turn to
other countries to do the job, while international law enforcement investigations into criminal
spam activities run the risk of stalling in Canada since authorities may lack the requisite
investigatory powers. br / br / As the only G-7 country without anti-spam legislation, it was only
a matter of time before spammers began to take advantage.nbsp; Cloudmark, a leading provider of
anti-spam software, recently presented a data on the origins of spam emanating from web-based email
providers such as Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo! at an international anti-spam conference in
Germany.nbsp; Its research indicates that the majority of email - often up to 80 percent of traffic
- from these popular services is now spam and that Canada ranked fifth worldwide as the source of
web-based email spam, trailing only Iran, Nigeria, Kenya, and Israel.br / br / Another recent study
from California demonstrated how spammers profit from their activities by shifting the costs
traditionally borne by marketers to the recipients of spam, namely Internet users.nbsp; Although
many people immediately delete spam messages, the study found that spammers remain profitable even
with very low response rates. br / br / In light of its profit-making potential, no amount of
anti-spam legislation will completely eliminate spam.nbsp; However, the experience to date in other
countries has shown that tough new measures can reduce the amount of spam that originates from
domestic sources.nbsp; Given the fact that there are still several major Canadian spamming
organizations thriving under the current legal framework, the best way to reduce the amount of
made-in-Canada spam is to change the law.nbsp; br /img

Publication Date: 2008 Nov 30 PMID: 19043403br/Authors: Elde, N. C. - Child, S. J. - Geballe, A. P.
- Malik, H. S.br/Journal: Naturebr/br/Distinguishing self from non-self is a fundamental biological
challenge. Many pathogens exploit the challenge of self discrimination by employing mimicry to
subvert key cellular processes including the cell cycle, apoptosis and cytoskeletal dynamics. Other
mimics interfere with immunity. Poxviruses encode K3L, a mimic of eIF2alpha, which is the substrate
of protein kinase R (PKR), an important component of innate immunity in vertebrates. The PKR-K3L
interaction exemplifies the conundrum imposed by viral mimicry. To be effective, PKR must recognize
a conserved substrate (eIF2alpha) while avoiding rapidly evolving substrate mimics such as K3L.
Using the PKR-K3L system and a combination of phylogenetic and functional analyses, we uncover
evolutionary strategies by which host proteins can overcome mimicry. We find that PKR has evolved
under intense episodes of positive selection in primates. The ability of PKR to evade viral mimics
is partly due to positive selection at sites most intimately involved in eIF2alpha recognition. We
also find that adaptive changes on multiple surfaces of PKR produce combinations of substitutions
that increase the odds of defeating mimicry. Thus, although it can seem that pathogens gain
insurmountable advantages by mimicking cellular components, host factors such as PKR can compete in
molecular 'arms races' with mimics because of evolutionary flexibility at protein interaction
interfaces challenged by mimicry.br/br/post to: a href =

3-D movies — from Jaws in 1983 to Spy Kids in 2003
— have long been staples of movie fare. Then as now, audience goers donned
special glasses that make double images leap out of the screen. But today’s movies, using
advanced cameras, are far sharper; and the prospect of standardized 3-D for all films and TV
shows means the technology will likely become a DVD staple, too, over the next 10 years.
Or at least that’s director James Cameron’s message at Hollywood’s first
3-D Entertainment Summit. Cameron is currently producing
Avatar, his eagerly awaited $200-million feature film, set on another planet in the far
future. Shot entirely in 3-D, the film is set for release in December 2009.
“There’s nothing in the palette of entertainment that can’t be done in
3-D,” he said. “All the hard work has been done.”
Avatar is about a paralyzed ex-marine named Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) whose
consciousness is transferred to an alien body and sent to a foreign planet to settle and exploit
it. Sci-fi stalwart Sigourney Weaver (Alien) stars as Sully’s mentor and actress
Zoë Saldaña provides the voice of Sully’s alien lover (the character is
computer generated).
Cameron called his work on Aliens of the Deep, a 3-D documentary from 2005 that explored
the wreck of the Titanic, a “proof of concept” that gave him the expertise in
stereoscopic filmmaking to take on what he calls the most ambitious 3-D film ever created. His
original Titanic blockbuster would have looked “gorgeous” in 3-D, he added.
Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Group, told attendees earlier that
the company plans to release 17 3-D pictures over the next few years.
Still, Avatar and all future 3-D films will “live or die based on (their) own
merits,” he said. “Market forces drive this thing based on content.’’
That means Cameron, who says he’s concerned he can’t live up to all the hype
surrounding the film, still has something to sweat about. “The movie may suck,” he
said. “I happen to like it.”

class="ArticleBody"Apple#39;s position -- while prudent -- undercuts its popular advertising
campaign which anthropomorphized PCs running Windows as an overweight nerdy man with the flu./pp
page="1" class="ArticleBody"But data by computer security researchers has shown that while Apple
hasn#39;t been affected by malicious software nearly to the extent as Windows, it#39;s merely
because hackers go after the most widely used platform./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Apple is
gaining market share, however, which means hackers could increasingly look to exploit the platform,
particularly if it becomes perceived as an easier target./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"In the
past, Apple has been slow to patch, according to researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology. They released a a target="_blank"
href="http://www.techzoom.net/papers/blackhat_0day_patch_2008.pdf"study/a in March looking at
so-called zero-day vulnerabilities, when a security problem is publicly disclosed without a
patch./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"That measure is important since it means users are
unprotected during the time it takes to create, test and then apply a patch. The study concluded
Apple often had more unpatched vulnerabilties than Microsoft./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Apple
systems are also not immune from problems in third-party software, such as plug-ins, which are used
to view animated Flash graphics and PDF (Portable Document Format) files./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"Security problems in plug-ins have frequently been manipulated to cause browsers
to redirect to malicious Web sites, which are rigged to try and take advantage of browser flaws./pp
page="1" class="ArticleBody"Compared to Windows, there aren#39;t nearly as many antivirus products
for Apple computers. Russian security vendor Kaspersky Lab, however, said earlier this year that it
has a prototype Apple version of its software that it could publish in days depending on market
demand. Symantec, McAfee and Intego offer Apple antivirus products as well./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"Sophos, based in Abingdon, England, currently sells an enterprise-level product
for OS X, and interest has been increasing in the product, said Graham Cluley, senior technology
consultant./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Analysts in the company#39;s labs have seen more
financially motivated malicious software for OS X, Cluley said. Last week, the company spotted

,quot; a Trojan downloader./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Jahlav is often planted on Web sites as
a purported key generator that can be used to figure out valid product codes for hacked software.
But if it is installed, a hacker has complete control over the Apple computer and can download
other bad software to the machine to steal data, Cluley said./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"Businesses that handle credit-card data using Apple computers may also be
required to use antivirus software as part of recent security guidelines adopted by the payment
card industry, Cluley said./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Additionally, Apple is now using Intel
chips in its machines, which means some users may be using virtualization programs to also run
Windows. Although the operating systems would run separately and can#39;t infect each other, it
could increase the likelihood of an Apple user passing along Windows files that are infected to
another person in the office, Cluley said./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Malicious software is
quot;nowhere like as big of a problem as on Windows but it does exist,quot; Cluley said. quot;You
can still get hit by it.quot;/p/divbr style=clear: both;/ a
