CHILD ABUSE, new form exposed and one reason why teenagers commit suicide. * Exposed It seems geneticists have unwittingly uncovered a form of child abuse that most people would not have been aware of. Australian geneticists have found evidence that supports the existence of a 'Gay' gene and the probability that it is hereditary. Their evidence suggested that it's the brothers of lesbians and the sisters of gays that spread this deformity to the next generation. That is, the (apparently) heterosexual brother of a lesbian will father more lesbians, while the (apparently) heterosexual sister of a gay will mother more gays. This seems to make sense if you look around for examples in our society, attractive super models and their gay brothers or tough guys and their rough sisters. When their findings were released, these geneticists were threatened with death from the gay community.. The fact that homosexuality is hereditary may look innocent on the surface but closer examination reveals something far more sinister. Gay/lesbian families must have always known that their 'family secret' was hereditary but have always tried to keep this fact a secret. Why? These parents obviously don't care for the needs of their children and are just trying to protect themselves, to hide the fact that they have knowingly deformed and used their own children, to hide the truth from their children, to hide the truth from friends and neighbours, to pretend to be normal. * Who? Exposing gay parents is difficult as this deformity has very few external attributes, thin lips, a turned eye are signs but cannot be relied on. As it has been proven as hereditary then family lines may expose the truth. How many parents act "Prim and Proper"/ straight and respectable in our society but their children turn out to be gay/lesbian? And even when their kids are exposed as gay, these same parents act as though it has nothing to do with them. This current finding just proves that "act" is the operative word. But to be fair it's not always both parents who are gay, how many poor bastards have been conned by a lesbian or a gay's sister pretending to be a normal wife and mother or visa versa, and in both cases it's always the children who pay the price. Parents who knowingly deform their own children just to pretend they're straight, or because they don't want to face the truth about themselves or even sicker, to prove a political point are very sick, callous people. To accidentally deform a child is a tragedy, to knowingly deform one must be considered child abuse. Parents with other types of hereditary deformities generally show a lot of responsibility to protect their children but not gays and lesbians. To be born deformed is one thing, but to be proud of it and to encourage it's spread is very sick. It proves the gay community have destructive objectives. These people would like to drag society down to a level where nobody cares if children are born deformed because then everyone would be at their level. It's up to caring people to recognise these facts and fight against it. * Where Where do these gay parents hide?, in religious communities, in certain country towns, in gay communities, anywhere where sexual naivety or child neglect abounds. Christian communities are a favourite place to hide, priests molesting boys just being the tip of a very large problem. It's about time christian communities faced up to this problem and purged their ranks otherwise christianity will be seen as nothing more than hide-out for child abusers. * The Damage It's generally up to the children themselves to find out about their parents, usually the hard way. How many teenagers have committed suicide because their parents wouldn't face the truth? ... once the queer is dead, the problem is gone and the parents innocent demeanour can remain intact. If you think this is too far fetched then why do western societies have such high rates of teenage suicides and child abuse? Nobody wants to be deformed and teenagers do not commit suicide just because of name calling, the reasons go far deeper. What can be more demoralising than not only realising that you're gay or lesbian, but to realise you're been used by gay parents and that their love is nothing more than a desperate lie.. * Why isn't anything being done? You don't have to look far to find reasons why this form of child abuse isn't being exposed. Gays and lesbians have infiltrated many positions of power, especially in politics and religion. In Australia we've recently exposed pedophile Priests and City Mayors, child molesting Judges and respectable Politicians and their 'Purple children' .... 'It runs very deep!' The gay community always try to portray themselves as the innocent victims of our society. Their influence in the movie industry , the media and especially in music have been used slowly but surely to promote this image. 'Homophobic' .. 'Intolerance' and 'Bigot' are their catch cries ... it's a pity the word 'Responsibility' to children isn't in vogue at the moment. These new genetic findings tend to contradict their innocence and shows them more as instigators, with children as the victims. * Final Answer Sooner or later the genes for homosexuality and lesbianism will be discovered then there will be no hiding for gay parents. Then it will be easy to discover who the child users are hiding in our society. * Fight for child rights When are honest people going to stand up to these abuses? How long do teenagers have to commit suicide before someone or some group has the courage to expose the real truth? ,to take on gay communities? Fight for child rights, to give children the POWER to protect themselves from those adults who would use them. Simply, you could 'Forward' this message onto 3 other people who you know care for the needs of children or you may send a return email pledging your support, or preferably both! ... The time is now to expose this TRUTH! Thank you for your time. P.S. Expect Gay community lies responding to this post.

The human genetics community, both private and academic, is engaged in large scale SNP discovery efforts and assay development. With the imminent development of high throughput methodologies for automating the SNP discovery and screening process, it is likely that many if not all of the common polymorphisms will be identified and characterized in the next several years. As is often the case, data production may outpace current data management and analysis capabilities. New, specialized SNP databases are being designed and implemented to capture the impending flood of polymorphism data. Comprehensiveness of the captured data and the exploration of its intellectual content is essential. Computational methods and tools to handle and analyze polymorphism data flow will certainly play an important role in this challenge. Call for Participation The PSB 2000 session "Human Genome Variation: Analysis, Management and Application of SNP Data" aims to provide a timely forum in this area, bringing together computer scientists, bioinformatics specialists and biologists, from academia and industry, to address the forthcoming problems in the utilization of SNP information. We encourage academic, industrial and government scientists to submit manuscripts. In addition to a session for oral presentation of novel peer-reviewed contributions, there will be a panel discussion devised to foster exchange between industry and academic scientists. Participants are invited to discuss their issues with other peers in this panel session. Posters and computer demonstrations are also requested to complement the session. Topics The contributions should pose and discuss a specific problem that the biocomputing community will need to address, describe models, or propose specific solutions to a problem. Sequence polymorphisms will be the common theme, but the computational or theoretical contributions can span areas ranging from population genetics and evolution to data visualization and management. Among the anticipated topics are: Automation of large scale SNP genotyping. Data management and integration for SNP genotyping systems. Evolutionary aspects of genome variability and SNP analysis. Ontologies for human genome variation. SNP database mining and knowledge discovery. Statistical methods for SNP analysis. Tools for high throughput SNP discovery and screening. Visualization and analysis of SNP data. Submissions PSB will publish accepted full papers in an archival proceedings indexed in MEDLINE. All contributed papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed by at least three referees. A limited number of papers will be selected for a 30-minute oral presentation to the full assembled conference. Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed at the conference separately from the archival Proceedings. Please prepare your submission according to the instructions found at the Web page: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb/cfp-snp.html Dates & Deadlines Paper submissions due: July 12, 1999 Notification of paper acceptance: August 27, 1999 Camera ready of accepted papers due: September 24, 1999 Abstract deadline: October 1, 1999 Meeting: January 5-9, 2000 Conference Information The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB 2000) is an international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance. PSB 2000 will be held January 5- 9, 2000, in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Sheraton Waikiki.

Assuming that cells are "programmed" to undergo a certain number of divisions and then they die, how is it that we have a continuous amount of cells to replace the dead ones, such as with skin cells? Where do these "fresh" cells come from? If you start with a single cell that undergoes mitosis and you now have 2 cells, each with its own genome, did the repicated chromatids assort in such a manner that some of the original strands and some of the replicated strands end up in both cells? Does a renewable source of young cells arise from some type of stem cell? These are a couple of those questions that I have consistently tucked away to be contemplated at a later date. Thanks, L.J. Smith From owner-chromosomes@net.bio.net Thu May 27 08:00:00 1999 Path: biosci!internet!biosci!not-for-mail From: biohelp (BIOSCI Administrator) Newsgroups: bionet.genome.chromosomes Subject: BIOSCI/bionet miniFAQ & Fundraiser Date: 27 May 1999 02:00:17 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 233 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199905270900.CAA17683@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net (LAST REVISION: 30-JUL-95) This BIOSCI "miniFAQ" is designed to answer the questions that come up the *most frequently*. The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.
