iOS 7 is just so colorful! It's so light! It's so fun! But not only that, the colors all blend together in a beautiful watercolor effect. It's like a pastel psychedelic trip. It's like seeing the palette of an artist obsessed with Easter. I wonder where Jony Ive got the idea for that color scheme. I wonder what his inspiration was. Wonder no more.

Vemma Nutrition, a US-based liquid nutrition company, has reported sales of $20m per month in July 2013, driven by its Verve healthy energy drink brand.
The company took seven years to reach the $10m monthly sales mark in July 2012.
Vemma Nutrition has also reached 30,000 monthly customer and Brand Partner enrollments in July 2013.
Verve healthy energy drink brand, including the release of Verve Bold in January 2013, has given a boost to the sales selling over four million cans in the first five months.
Vemma marketing and brand development executive vice president Mark Patterson that the company will enter into coffee and tea markets in 2014.
"And there's the upcoming launch in January of Vemma's new Chris Powell Bod-e? Shake in a ready-to-drink (RTD) can. Verve has taught Vemma an important lesson -- RTD is critical for massive acceptance and consumption," Patterson added.
Vemma founder and CEO BK Boreyko said: "We expect sales will continue to increase as school gets back into session, and with the new Verve ParTea?, a flavored iced tea energy drink which will be released this fall, followed by Verve MoJoe?, a vanilla latte flavored iced coffee, in January 2014."

In this seductive sneak peek at the next season of BET?s ?Being Mary Jane,? Andre (played by Omari Hardwick) is having a conversation with Mary Jane (Gabrielle Union) when she calls him out on a promise to fix her pool that he hasn?t made good on.

In the pilot Mary Jane kicks Andre to the curb after finding out that he?s married and confesses their affair to his wife. So we?re assuming this is one of their first conversations after the cat is let out of the bag.
While the whole double entendre of being the fix it man,?diving in? to ??screw in a light bulb? and asking if she ?needs anything else done? is a tad cliche, the dialogue sets up a rather steamy love scene that may or may not make it past the censors.

Genetics Society of America
BETHESDA, MD -- The first study to sequence and analyze the entire genome of a HeLa cell line, along with access to its sequence data, has been published today (Wednesday, August 7) in its final version, by G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics, an open-access, scientific journal of the Genetics Society of America.
The article, "The Genomic and Transcriptomic Landscape of a HeLa Cell Line," by Landry et al., was authored by scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, and was published in an early online version March 11, 2013.
Genomic data from the HeLa cell line are also being released with the final version of the paper as a result of discussions between leaders of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and relatives of Henrietta Lacks, from whose cervical tumor the original HeLa cell line was derived prior to her death in 1951. The genomic data will now be available to scientists via the NCBI's Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP).
In direct response to the concerns of the Lacks family that the privacy of their genetic information might be affected by the availability of the HeLa genome sequence data published in G3, the EMBL scientists voluntarily removed the HeLa cell line sequence data from public access, and offered to work with the family towards a mutually acceptable solution. NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., and NIH Deputy Director for Science, Outreach, and Policy Kathy L. Hudson, Ph.D., met several times with representatives of the Lacks family, and came to a mutual understanding to allow biomedical researchers controlled access to the data. Dr. Collins and Dr. Hudson describe their discussions with the Lacks family in a Comment published in this week's edition of the journal Nature.
Since their isolation in 1951, HeLa cells have been the most widely used human cell line in research. They have become a valuable resource for biologists, enabling momentous scientific breakthroughs including the development of the polio vaccine the Nobel Prize winning studies defining the role of telomerase in aging, and research on the causative role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in some types of cervical cancer. The latter discovery spurred the development of an HPV vaccine to prevent certain types of cervical cancer from occurring. In fact, Ms. Lacks' death was caused by cervical cancer.
The advent of genomics and rapid sequencing techniques has seen HeLa cells used in numerous large-scale studies of gene function and expression. Yet, "these studies using HeLa cells had to rely on information from the 'reference' sequence produced by the Human Genome Project, even though there was evidence that the genomes of HeLa cell lines were probably quite different," said Lars Steinmetz, Ph.D., who led the G3 study.
Dr. Steinmetz and his team found the genome of the HeLa cell line that they sequenced differs dramatically from a normal human genome sequence. These differences include widespread sequence variation, extra copies of genes, and massive, complex rearrangements.
Because the dataset now will be available to the scientific community, researchers will be able to account for these differences when designing and interpreting experiments using this HeLa cell line. The genomic particularities of HeLa cells relate to their origin from an aggressive cancer and subsequent cultivation in laboratories for decades, both of which cause considerable genomic alterations.
"Understanding the unique nature of the HeLa genome is important for guiding future studies with these cells," explained Brenda Andrews, Ph.D., editor-in-chief of G3. "This paper and the genomic data it includes provide an important resource for the scientific community, especially with the increasing number of studies that require genome sequence information for accurate design and interpretation."
"We are very happy that G3 is able to publish these findings, and to make this dataset available to the scientific community," says Adam Fagen, Ph.D., executive director of the Genetics Society of America. "The Lacks family has taken an important step towards ensuring HeLa cells continue to catalyze important advances in biomedical research."
Genomics studies like those commonly conducted with HeLa cells play an instrumental role in revealing how variation in genome sequence and function can lead to disease. "Progress in genomic research has already begun to transform modern medicine," said Tracey DePellegrin, executive editor of G3, which, like its sister journal GENETICS also published by Genetics Society of America, promotes full data sharing and dissemination for scientific reseachers, "and this progress is contingent on scientists being able to access the genomic sequences, now available through dbGaP.
"As soon as they learned about the Lacks family's concerns, the authors of the G3 paper voluntarily removed the sequence data from public access. We supported our authors' response, in particular as a resolution to the issues became actively discussed by NIH officials and the Lacks family," she added.
The early publication of the G3 study sparked dialogue among scientists, bioethicists and the public concerning the handling of genomic data. Such conversations become critical as technological advances make personal genome sequencing increasingly affordable and commonplace. Indeed, GSA is initiating discussions with other scientists, ethicists and members of the public to refine strategies to manage genomic data in socially conscious ways that foster progress in scientific research.
"Although NIH played an essential role in the discussions with the Lacks family about the use of HeLa cells, we all need to think about how we approach issues that arise as science moves forward, balancing privacy concerns with advances in research, and the ways policy can be updated to reflect these complexities," added Dr. Fagen. "Everyone including scientists, the public, policymakers, our health care system, and research funders has a stake in the outcome.

Imagine that you step out your door for the morning commute, but your street is flooded. Not with water, but with bitumen from the tar sands.
This is precisely what happened with Exxon's Pegasus pipeline when it spilled over one million litres of tar sands crude into the Arkansas suburb of Mayflower earlier this year. And it's the potential future facing communities along the route of TransCanada's recently announced Energy East pipeline, if the plan moves ahead. The project would see oil, including diluted bitumen, transported from Alberta's tar sands to Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
Pipeline safety in question
"What I have documented from the pipeline industry is that the mix of politics and commercial interests has resulted in false public claims of exceptional industry practice when the reality is that industry struggles to comply with code and regulation." This recent testimony at Senate committee from a former TransCanada engineer who made headlines last year raises serious questions about TransCanada's promises.
Tar sands crude (diluted bitumen) is unlike conventional oil. It is thick, requiring dilution with toxic chemicals. The devastating spill of over 3.8 million litres of tar sands crude in the Kalamazoo River in Michigan underscores how tar sands spills are far more devastating. Conventional cleanup methods haven't been able to address the heavy crude which sunk to the bottom of the river bed. Three years and over $800 million later, the river is still polluted.
The impacts of a spill in the Bay of Fundy could be even worse, given the strong tides.?
The Energy East project would see the conversion of an existing gas pipeline, the Mainline, from Saskatchewan to Qu?bec, to carry crude oil. The Pegasus pipeline that flooded the streets of Mayflower was also designed to carry a lighter substance.
According to a study by the National Petroleum Council for the U.S. Department of Energy, "pipelines operating outside of their design parameters such as those carrying commodities for which they were not initially designed, or high flow pipelines, are at the greatest risk of integrity issues in the future due to the nature of their operation."
These are the risks communities along Energy East are being asked to bear.
Energy and job security claims dubious?
While there has been a lot of talk about Atlantic energy security, this crude will actually go to the highest bidder and the U.S., China, India and Europe are in line. This would threaten the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay of Fundy with supertanker traffic carrying diluted bitumen. Additionally, just because crude may be refined in Qu?bec and New Brunswick does not mean that it will be consumed there. The majority of oil produced in Atlantic Canada is exported -- how can we trust that this will be different?
We need to look critically at job promises for this project. Studies have shown that TransCanada's Keystone XL job promises have basically been a smokescreen to win approval of an unwanted pipeline. TransCanada claimed Keystone "would create 20,000 jobs". However, President Obama says construction of Keystone XL would create 2,000 short-term jobs and only 50-100 long term jobs.
Generating jobs that support families in the Atlantic region and across the country is absolutely crucial, but this doesn't mean we shouldn't question the quality and types of jobs being presented and the environmental and social toll these jobs will have. The adverse long-term effects a spill would have on peoples' livelihoods need to be considered too, particularly related to fisheries jobs in the Bay of Fundy and Passamaquoddy Bay.
Energy East would facilitate Tar Sands expansion
With members, supporters and allies along the pipeline route, the Council of Canadians intends to build awareness and work with those who would be directly impacted by the project. We will be present at upcoming TransCanada project open houses along the pipeline route, intend on participating in the forthcoming National Energy Board proceedings and support local opposition that has already emerged.
Energy East and other pipelines are being pushed through to lock in expansion of the tar sands. Since people are increasingly aware of the dangers tar sands bring to their communities, it is no surprise that people are raising their voices to stop it.?
We keep hearing that this pipeline is about energy security, but real energy security means prioritizing a transition off of fossil fuels, particularly carbon intensive crude like the tar sands. There is an abundance of potential for generating decent, green jobs in provinces like New Brunswick. These jobs, such as work improving building's energy efficiency, can provide for families while reducing emissions. TransCanada's Energy East pipeline however, is part of the problem, not the solution.
