High Content Analysis/Screening

1. What is the goal of this Survey?

This is a long and detailed survey - but we need your help. Please do
it!!! This survey is the result of a meeting of about 250 people who
attended a recent meeting in San Francisco (January 2004) that focused
on the issues surrounding High Content Screening (HCS) or Analysis.

Several important issues arose from the meeting including the
direction and complexity of systems, and the overall impact of
informatics on the field. Many members felt that if more information
were gathered from participants, some aspects of HCS could be made
more credible and more valuable to users.

This survey is independent of corporate influence in either the
instrument, reagent or pharmaceutical companies.

This is quite a long survey and will require several minutes of your
time. However, without quality data, it will be difficult for us to
evaluate issues and create resources for the HCS community.
1. First, we would like to thank you for working your way through this
survey. If you assist us by answering the questions with care and much
thought, we are sure that you will benefit as well as the entire
community. At the end of the survey, you will be offered a chance to
join a discussion forum.

At the risk of sounding commercial, WinList can do what you want.  I
have
attached a few pictures showing the WinList Region Array feature.
With this
you can tell the program exactly how you want the regions created and
how
many.  If you would like to try it for yourself you can download a
trial
version from our web site www.vsh.com.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards

At the risk of sounding commercial, WinList can do what you want.  I
have
attached a few pictures showing the WinList Region Array feature.
With this
you can tell the program exactly how you want the regions created and
how
many.  If you would like to try it for yourself you can download a
trial
version from our web site www.vsh.com.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

High Content Analysis/Screening

1. What is the goal of this Survey?

This is a long and detailed survey - but we need your help. Please do
it!!! This survey is the result of a meeting of about 250 people who
attended a recent meeting in San Francisco (January 2004) that focused
on the issues surrounding High Content Screening (HCS) or Analysis.

Several important issues arose from the meeting including the
direction and complexity of systems, and the overall impact of
informatics on the field. Many members felt that if more information
were gathered from participants, some aspects of HCS could be made
more credible and more valuable to users.

This survey is independent of corporate influence in either the
instrument, reagent or pharmaceutical companies.

This is quite a long survey and will require several minutes of your
time. However, without quality data, it will be difficult for us to
evaluate issues and create resources for the HCS community.
1. First, we would like to thank you for working your way through this
survey. If you assist us by answering the questions with care and much
thought, we are sure that you will benefit as well as the entire
community. At the end of the survey, you will be offered a chance to

At the risk of sounding commercial, WinList can do what you want.  I
have
attached a few pictures showing the WinList Region Array feature.
With this
you can tell the program exactly how you want the regions created and
how
many.  If you would like to try it for yourself you can download a
trial
version from our web site www.vsh.com.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards

Paul,

Sounds like you're advocating fighting disease by eradicating the
antigen instead of boosting the immune response.  You can organize all
you want on eliminating the pest, but until they put a stamp tax on
email, a better approach is to let the
messages be out there, but have them filtered to oblivion before you
ever see them.

In your case, the postmaster at Purdue is probably already filtering
millions of messages a day that come to the thousands of email users
on
campus. They are probably capable of shutting down any RNWAY mail, and
spreading the word to other postmasters that they also should filter
those messages.

So if you can get the IT people at the university to tighten their
sieve, that's best. Otherwise you have to switch to an email program
that has good junk filters.  I think I get 500+ messages a day, and
only 10 to 20 make it past the junk filter.
Until last summer I was using Outlook Express and spam was a huge
problem. Since then I switched to the free Mail program in OS X, which
just added special features for spam detection and removal.  Its
probably 97% effective, and I haven't found any false positives.
So, of course, the best answer is to get a Mac  :)

I'm sure the PC mail clients are addressing this issue as well.  I
believe there are central databases of offenders so programs can learn
from others which messages to delete.   I would imagine this is the
most important feature in any email program sold these days, so I bet
Eudora or other third party mail programs have this solved.

There's a lot of information on the subject at:

http://spam.abuse.net/

Whether you fight the problem on the server or the client, it
definitely is worth getting it cleaned up.   I found it screwed up my
whole communications process because every time I wanted check email,
I
had to wade through dozens or hundreds of useless ads.

Sorry you are experiencing a problem

From the header - This is apparently coming from a Mitchel Haynes

mitchell haynes <buybro...@yahoo.com>
- is this correct?

I initially thought messages coming from this person were a scam and

challenged them when they started posting to our list as well. I had

someone do a check on them. it is apparent that they have written
some

software and they think its ants-pants. They have tried to post
things

on the Purdue list, they have used every possible website and email

discussion group to get cross listed to boost their ratings on
Google.

Basically I view their behavior as very tenuous and from the message
you

sent me, it appears that it is not appropriate to do what they are
doing...

I have taken the following action:

1. Steve Kelley has been instructed to remove their email and any

postings on the Purdue list. They are now banned

2. I am going to Copying Bartek Rajwa the editor of the ISAC site to

beware of them

3. I am contacting Google and other sites to let
them know that these

people are self-propagating links.

4. If I see any message that in any way impunes Purdue or our

reputation, I will go after them with every possible legal recourse
at

my disposal. We will not allow our reputation to suffer because of

commercial abuse.

5. You should ban this address, and basically indicate to your
members

that this is a scam. While they claim to be legitimate, they are
acting

exactly as any scam artist...I already told them that they were
acting

as scammers and they got upset with me...well, if they don't desist,

they will find out how much influence we actually have...

KANECKI ASSOCIATES INC ARE NOT SCAMMERS! WHY DOES THIS INTERNAL
SOFTWARE VENDOR SERVER EXIST THROUGHT VERITY HOUSE SOFTWARE?
