* Given our desire to support TCGA AWGs more extensively in 2013, and that AWG
  runs are timed more to telecon & workshop schedules, this will be our only
  stddata run in January 2013.  The next stddata run will be initiated in the
  first week of Feb, after our first complete Feb download from the DCC.

* In a joint decision with the PANCAN awg, we will discontinue generating the
  PANCAN18 cohort until at least May 1 2013.  For this run we've uploaded
  PANCAN18 to the DCC, but it will not be retrievable with firehose_get.

* We have initiated the export to IGV of this run, and expect it to be completed
  by 10pm EST tonight and available to the public Sat Jan 26.  Until then, your
  IGV menus will not show the 2013_01_16 run.
