Why American Idol Still Commands the Biggest Bucks on TV
Despite a slip in its ratings dip and the loss of man-we-love-to-hate Simon Cowell, "American Idol" remains the most expensive show on TV for advertisers. Why are they willing to pay close to half a million dollars for a 30-second spot? Young viewers, and lots of them.

FIRST COMIC: It's a toss up between "Batman" #436 and "Web of Spider-Man" Annual #4. I bought them both in the same summer, and liked Batman WAY better is all I can recall.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Aaron Murray threw five touchdown passes to set a Georgia bowl record, including two in the fourth quarter, as the sixth-ranked Bulldogs beat No. 23 Nebraska 45-31 in the Capital One Bowl on Tuesday.
Murray shook off a pair of first-half interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, and passed for 427 yards -- also a Bulldogs' bowl record -- against the nation's top-ranked passing defense.
Tarboro's Todd Gurley, Georgia's freshman running back, ran for 125 yards and one touchdown in the victory as Georgia (12-2) reached 12 wins for the third time in school history.
Nebraska (10-4) lost its third consecutive bowl game, and finished the two season with two straight woeful defensive performances. The Cornhuskers lost the Big Ten championship game 70-31.
The Cornhuskers led 24-23 at the half, but committed two of their three turnovers in the final 30 minutes.

The pastor took his customary place at the back of the church to greet the Easter crowd. As usual, the crowd had swelled to fill the sanctuary.
The pastor saw a friend whom he knew came to church only Christmas and Easter, and said, "Hi John, I'd like to take this opportunity to say 'Merry Christmas,' since I probably won't see you here again before that."
John muttered on the way home, "Won't see me until Christmas! I'll show him!"

By Janell Oliver, special to The Oldham Era
An Oldham County jury has ruled in unanimous favor that an Anchorage bank committed fraud as a Prospect couple's land deal went awry.
And now, the bank is expected to pay hefty damages.
Jurors ordered the defendant, PBI Bank, to pay $1 to $1.4 million after cheating a Prospect couple of money owed to them from a 2005 real estate transaction.
The couple, Patricia and the late Eddie Wilhoyte, sold seven acres of rolling farmland off Hunters Ridge Road to Crestwood Gardens LLC for $1,350,000.

The Thomson X4 is stronger and 30 grams lighter than the Thomson Elite 25.4 mountain stem, and features a traditional steerer clamp that is shaped to save weight and be knee friendly. The X4 is absolutely the best combination of strength and weight available.
Put the X4 on all my bikes-one of the few parts I know I never have to worry about. Solid, stiff, strong. Great stem!
I picked up this stem to go on my new Trance. The bike came with 730mm bars and a 70mm stem. I picked up the Thomson Elite x4 50mm, and some Race Face Atlas 785mm bars. This combo feels way better than the stock setup. I am 5'10' and ride a medium frame. I like the extra control and stability at speed. I was absolutely blown away by how nice this stem looks. Thomson definitely pays attention to detail. Before I installed this, I sat and stared at it for a while. Now it is the coolest part of my bike. The best part, though, is how strong this sucker appears to be. Thomson craftsmanship is legendary, and I'll bet this thing outlasts my bike.
I got a 50mm stem for my Yeti SB66 and, as always, Thomson has designed yet another masterpiece of aluminum perfection. Some products & components are high priced because they're trendy, but not Thomson. The good folks at Thomson put some serious thought into the design of their components. This stem is freakishly light and once you put it on, you'll never think about it again. I've pinned my front wheel into deep rocks that had me yanking hard on the bars in a way that would have other bars getting out of alignment but not my Thomson. I've also had several garage sale style crashes and although other things have had to be realigned afterward, my Thomson stem does its job of keeping the steering crisp, straight and on track each & every ride. If you're like me, I was once hesitant to invest in such a high priced component for fear that it was just expensive because that's just the way it was. But trust me, this is an investment that is worth every penny. If you haven't experienced the joy of breaking a stem mid-ride let me tell you this: it's not a fun way to hit the dirt & rocks. I've broken several stems in my day, but never a Thomson. I've been running Thomson's components for about 15 years and I've loved/trusted each & every one of them.
It is expensive, and there are lighter stems but man this thing is "well-made personified". If you want a stem that is crazy built, very reasonably light and looks great this is the one to get.
Made in Macon, GA, these are very high quality stems. Yes they are more costly but they will look great after years of use.
Built up my new Ellsworth Evolution from PP with Thomson post stem and bars. The stuff just works...so far, Thomson products have never failed me on a bike...ever. I have been lured to some other products before to save a few grams, or because they looked a little better, but I am happily back on Thomson. The stem bar clamp area seems much more solid then the Easton I was considering buying again (EA70), and seems stiffer.
This is my third Thomson Elite X4 stem. I will keep using these until someone makes one lighter, stiffer, and better looking. Thomson quality is the best. Thomson seat posts are great too.
I only use Thomson stems on my bikes. I have a 50mm on my Pivot Firebird, a 70mm on my Pivot Mach 5.7 and a 90mm on my Vetana El Ciclon and all of them are just awesome. The quality is unbeatable, clamp firmly and evenly and they look great.

isn't that the whole point though?
they tried the modernized version of he-man 6 years ago. didn't really go anywhere because none of the kids really cared.
this is going to be a collector-driven toy-line which in my opinion will cater to the older generation that grew up with the original 80s cartoon.
80s-looking figures with modern articulation? count me in!
That isn't the point. My point is that rather than giving 80s' a modern look, but at the same time stayin with the original outfit (much like the 25th anniversary GI joes are to the RAH line,) it seems that they are also goin with the facial structures and proportions of the old line but with more articulation. The old 80s' face looks constipated and a bit fat because how the old figures were made with rubber heads. I just wished that Mattel did with their the DCSH line and have the fourhorsemen give him a human-like proportions, but at the same time, stayin true to the original outfit and hair.

January 17th, 2013
Editor's Note: Brian Scott farms with his father and grandfather on 2,300 acres of land in northwest Indiana. They grow corn, soybeans, popcorn and wheat. He blogs about it at The Farmer's Life, where a version of this post originally appeared. Corporate relationships and the use of genetically modified products are complex and controversial issues, and Eatocracy will be presenting points of view on it from more farmers, food scientists and environmentalists in the coming weeks. We invite you to become part of the dialogue.
As a farmer who is active on social media, Iâve seen a lot of posts online about how corporations control farms or how farmers are slaves to âBig Ag.â Some people claim we are beholden to companies and must sign unfair contracts to be privileged enough to use their biotech seed. Â They also claim the contracts rope us into buying other inputs like pesticides and herbicides from the same company.
Others make claims about how family farmers are treated by big corporations that they see as enemies of nature, monopolizing agriculture and ruthless in their greed. Itâs easy to misunderstand something if you arenât directly involved.
The website for Farm Aid - a a non-profit group that champions family farms -  poses the question, "What does GE (genetic engineering) mean for family farmers?" The text goes on to say:
Let's examine this "corporate control" a little further and look at it from the level of my own family's farm. Technology use agreements are common with many companies dealing in biotechnology. I signed an agreement with Dow already this year, and itâs very similar to other agreements.
When we buy Monsanto's GMO (genetic engineering is used widely in agriculture to make crops resistant to pests and herbicides) seeds, we sign a Technology/Stewardship Agreement. Â Section 4 of the 2011 agreement I have on file covers everything the grower must agree to when purchasing these products.
Here is a rundown of the requirements.
Keep a handle on the land
If we buy or lease land already seeded with Monsanto technology that year, we need to abide by the contract.  Makes sense to me. If I end up leasing ground in crop for some reason, I should honor the agreements it was planted with.  This would be a very odd thing to happen, by the way. Even if land changes hands during the growing season, the previous tenant will still harvest the grain with the new owner or renter taking over the following spring.
Manage insects
I must read and follow the company's Technology Use Guide and Insect Resistance Management/Grower Guide.  So, Monsanto has ideas on how best to use their product. Is that really a surprise?
Some of it is required by the EPA to make sure farmers like me understand how to steward the technology. And the guides actually contain ton of good agronomic information.
I also agree to implement an insect resistance management program.  Shocking! Monsanto thinks controlling pests responsibly is a good idea and, if you farm, insects are something you deal with regardless of what production method you choose.
Only buy licensed seed, and don't sell or breed it
Monsanto also says I should only buy seed from a dealer or seed company licensed by them.  I'd want to do that anyway.  Would you buy a brand new home entertainment system out of the back of some guy's van parked in an alley?  Iâm spending a lot of money so I want to be sure I know Iâm getting what I paid for.
I must agree to use seed with Monsanto technology solely for planting a single commercial crop and I shouldn't sell any to my neighbor, either.  We can't save seed to grow the next year and frankly, I'm not interested in doing so. Â
For the critics who are not sold on GMO crops to begin with, do they really want farmers holding onto this seed and planting it without any kind of paper trail? Some farmers would like to save soybean seed, but with hybrid corn, the seed harvested will not be identical to the parent seed. In that case, Iâm buying seed next year anyway.
If you want to plant seed to be used as seed, you need to sign an agreement to do so with a seed company licensed by Monsanto.  We do this for two different companies.  In fact, we've actually worked with one company through several name changes long before GMO showed up.
We do this because we can get a premium price for the soybeans we grow to be used as seed by other farmers next year. Â The premium accounts for the extra effort we put in to make sure our planting, harvesting and storage equipment is extra clean to provide a pure product to the customer.
We can't grow seed to be used for breeding, research or generation of herbicide registration data.  This goes back to saving seed.  If we wanted to breed our own varieties I'm sure we could, but I look at it right now as division of labor. Seed companies are great at coming up with great products, and American farmers are great (in many cases the best) at turning those products into a bounty of food, feed, fuel, and fiber.
Our farm has agreed to only export and plant these crops in countries that allow them. That's kind of a no-brainer - not to mention we aren't the ones exporting anything.
My vendors, my choice
Here's the part where some people think family farmers become slaves to the corporations - the part where GMO seeds force us to buy our chemicals from the same company (but if you've got a Technology/Stewardship Agreement handy you'll find this is not true.): If I plant Roundup® Ready (RR) crops, Monsanto would sure like me to use Roundup® herbicide on them. But I don't have to.
The agreement says for RR crops I should only use Roundup® herbicide or another authorized herbicide which could not be used in the absence of the RR gene.  When I worked off the farm, I sold a lot of generic brand glyphosate, a common herbicide.  It's just like buying your grocer's private label brand of cough medicine instead of the name brand.  The only catch is if you have a problem you need to talk with the company that provided the herbicide.
If we spray Brand X and it doesn't work, it won't do any good to go crying to Monsanto. Â Sounds like pretty standard business practice to me. If you bought a Cadillac would you call a Toyota dealer with a warranty issue? Â Furthermore, I don't even have to use glyphosate on my glyphosate-tolerant crops.
In 2012, I raised waxy corn from Pioneer and waxy corn from a local dealer who sells Monsanto products. Â The latter will be RR, but the Pioneer variety won't. We planted them in the same field side-by-side to see which one performs better. Â If we spray glyphosate on those acres, all the Pioneer corn will die! Â Instead, we controlled weeds with an herbicide that corn resists naturally.
We have to pay for the seed.  Ridiculous isn't it? Paying for something gives value in return?
Maintaining a paper - and pixel trail
We may have to provide documents supporting we are following the agreement within seven days after getting a request from Monsanto.  I'm not worried about this if I'm following the agreement anyway.  To my knowledge, we've never received a request.
If Monsanto asks to do so, they can inspect our land, storage bins, wagons, etc.  Again I'm not worried. I canât say Iâm super excited about the possibility of inspection, but nothing out of the ordinary would be found on my farm.
And finally, we agree to allow Monsanto to obtain our internet service provider records to validate an electronic signature.  If anything on this list is questionable, it's this one.  I'm just not sure electronic signatures are the way to go personally, but it's becoming more common.
If you want to see the exact wording of the contract, click to view a PDF of my 2011 Monsanto Technology/Stewardship Agreement.
So there you have it. Â You can see what we have to agree to in order to make use of Monsanto's biotechnology on our farm. Â I don't see anything in there that hurts my farm. Â I don't have to buy their herbicides, and I don't have to buy anything from them next year if I don't want to.
The biggest problem I have with seed companies is that it seems like they phase out a variety from time to time that is a really strong performer on our farm. Â I understand the concern organic farms have with GMO crops in close proximity to their own. Â Those farmers have worked hard and shown patience in getting an organic certification, and they don't want to start over again. Â Even though we don't have any neighbors farming organically, it's important that we are careful when making field applications. Â
We hope our neighbors do the same because our waxy corn generally isn't RR and our popcorn definitely is not. Â You could also have drift from any corn field do damage to soybeans next door, so even guys like me are sympathetic to the practices of other farms.
A good deal of the non-farm population carries the misconception farms like mine are not family endeavors. To my surprise, an Illinois study shows that urban dwellers believe most farmland is corporate owned. If perception is reality, then America needs to hear from farmers to let them know who runs American farms. In fact, the vast majority of them are family owned and operated. Even farms listed as corporations are often merely organized partnerships between relatives.
Now, I would love to hear your thoughts. What do you think about these agreements? Do you think farmers are under control of multinational corporations or are they free to farm as they choose? Weigh in, and we'll continue the conversation.

Component of: Flagellum (extended summary available)
The bacterial flagellar motor of Escherichia coli is a complex of about 20 different parts no more than 50 nm in diameter. It is capable of spinning clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) at speeds approaching 100 Hz, propelling the corkscrew shaped flagellar filaments (FliC subunits) and generating motion. E. coli are peritrichously flagellated (peri, around, trichos, hair) with usually four motor/filament structures arranged randomly around the sides of the cell and extending out several body lengths. When the motors turn CCW, the filaments bundle together in a coordinated effort which pushes the cell steadily forward in a "run". Conversely, when the direction of motor rotation is switched to CW, the coordination of the flagellar bundle is disrupted and the cell tumbles randomly and then starts out in a new direction based on concentrations of attractants or repellents which control the motor switching mechanism [Berg03]. Flagella motors also adapt to mechanical stimuli (ie. sudden changes in load) by changing their speed and CW bias [Lele13].
The bacterial flagellar motor core is made up of a complex group of protein constituents. There are four rod proteins (FlgB, FlgC, FlgF and FlgG) and three ring proteins (FlgH, FlgI and FliF) which form the L, P and MS rings, respectively. These three rings, through which the rod passes, are embedded in the cell wall. The outer two rings, L (FlgH) and P (FlgI), are spaced apart and linked by a cylindrical wall. The inner two rings, S and M, are in direct contact and comprise a single protein (FliF) known as the "MS ring". The three rings, according to their known biochemical and geometrical properties, occupy distinct locations within the intact cell, with the L ring in the plane of the outer lipopolysaccharide membrane, the P ring in the plane of the peptidoglycan layer and the MS ring (membrane/supramembrane) in and above the cell membrane [Berg03].
The MS ring is the first substructure of the flagellar structure to be assembled and serves as the base structure for bacterial flagellar assembly and to anchor the flagellum in the cytoplasmic membrane [Grunenfelder03, Suzuki98]. There are about 26 copies of FliF monomer in each MS (membrane and supramembrane) ring complex [Sosinsky92]. The complex consists of the MS rings as well as a proximal portion of the rod in the flagellar basal body [Suzuki98]. FliF is firmly attached to the distal side of FliG, which interacts with the stator protein complex to generate torque [Suzuki04]. Assembly of the MS ring can occur in the absence of any of the other components of the flagellar structure [Katayama96] and the subsequent distal structural components (with the exception of the P and the L rings) are assembled via single-file export through the MS ring structure coupled with the transport apparatus complex of proteins [Macnab03]. This type of export is termed the flagellar-specific type III secretion system and it is highly similar in appearance and sequence homology to the type III pathways used for virulence secretion. The P and L rings are exported through the primary, or Sec pathway [Macnab03].
FliE is a component of the basal body assembly. FliE has been shown to physically interact with FlgB and is thought to be a structural adapter between the FliF (MS) ring and the rod, a rotational component which is situated transverse to the outer membrane and peptidoglycan layers [Minamino00]. FliL is at least a dimer and is located within the basal flagellar structure where it interacts with the stator proteins (MotA, MotB), the FliF MS ring protein and the rotor switch protein FliG; FliL increases motor output and contributes to the normal rotational bias of the flagella motor [Partridge15].
FlgB, FlgC, FlgF, and FlgG are four proteins that comprise the rod section of the basal-body assembly of the flagellar motor. The rod is a rotational component which is situated transverse to the outer membrane and peptidoglycan layers and is circumscribed by a set of four rings which lie in a horizontal plane within the inner and outer membranes of the cell envelope. The rod acts as a drive shaft to transmit torque from the motor through the flexible hook to the flagellar filament thus allowing for bacterial locomotion [Jones90]. FlgG is a distal component of the basal body rod [SaijoHamano04, Berg03].
FliM and FliN make up the C-ring, which is located inside (cytoplasmic) the cell. Together with FliG, FliM and FliN make up the switch complex which is essential for assembly, rotation and directional control [Welch93]. Although at least one study [Thomas99] suggests that the MS and C rings rotate relative to one another, the consensus seems to be that the MS and the C-rings rotate as a unit, and together form the rotor of the motor. Mutation deletion studies of the fliG, fliM and fliN [Yamaguchi86] resulted in defects in motor rotation control.
MotA and MotB are thought to form a torque-generating stator complex. MotA and MotB have shown to co-isolate in binding studies [Tang96]. MotA and MotB are membrane embedded and do not fractionate with the other hook-basal body proteins [Ridgway77]. Both proteins span the cytoplasmic membrane with MotA having four membrane-spanning alpha-helical segments and about two-thirds of its mass in the cytoplasm [Blair91, Zhou95]. MotB has one membrane-spanning alpha-helix but the majority of the molecule is in the periplasmic space with a peptidoglycan-binding domain near its C-terminus [Chun88]. MotB is thought to anchor MotA to the cell wall's rigid framework, allowing the MotA/MotB complex to serve as the stationary stator of the flagellar motor [Berg03]. Mutations in MotB near the region where it is thought to be bound to the peptidoglycan region result in the apparent misalignment of the stator and rotor [Garza96]. MotA and MotB are arranged in a circular fashion around the MS and C-rings. In freeze-fracture electron microscopy, MotA and MotB can be visualized as circular "ring particles" or "studs" lying in a plane within the inner membrane of Escherichia coli [Khan88]. The stoichiometric composition per motor has been determined as being MotA4 MotB2 [Kojima04, Braun04]. Studies using GFP-labeled MotB revealed 11 stators per motor complex, each composed of two copies of MotB and four copies of MotA [Reid06, Leake06]. Direct observation of rotation steps in a Na+-driven chimaeric flagellar motor supports the evidence for 11 stators per motor complex [Sowa05]. The results from cross-linking studies have been used to examine the organization of some transmembrane helices in MotA and MotB and to develop a model for the overall organization of the entire MotA-MotB complex [Kim08].
The MotA/MotB complex conducts protons across the membrane and then couples this proton flow to rotational torque of the motor [Kojima04] in a process that involves the protonation/deprotonation of the Asp32 residue of MotB [Zhou98, Braun01]. Two proton channels are formed per complex, with two copies of MotA forming eight transmembrane segments and one additional transmembrane segment coming from one copy of MotB [Braun04]. Mutation suppression studies of motA and motB [Garza96a, Garza95] indicate that MotA and MotB may interact with each other as well as with FliG (which is located at the cytoplasmic face at the periphery of the MS-ring and is thought to comprise part of the rotor of the flagellar motor). Charged residues have been defined in MotA's cytoplasmic domain which are critical for interaction with oppositely charged groups in the C-terminal domain of FliG [Zhou97, Zhou98a, Yakushi06]. The electrostatic interactions between these pairs of charged groups at the rotor-stator interface are thought to play a significant role in torque generation. The torque necessary for flagellar rotation, then, is apparently generated by the protonation and deprotonation of Asp32 of MotB, which then results in a conformational modulation of MotA. This results in an alteration in the interactions between a specific charged region of MotA's cytoplasmic domain and a complementary charged region in the C-terminal domain of FliG [Berg03].
Deletion mutation studies [Macnab92] have shown that FliG, FliM, FliN, MotA and MotB are the only proteins that function specifically in motor rotation since mutations in only these proteins result in cessation of rotation but not in flagellar assembly.

The flagellum is a molecular machine with a proton motive force driven rotary motor which rotates a long, curved filament allowing the cell to swim in a liquid environment. Some of the evidence for the structure and function of the flagellum comes from experiments involving Salmonella typhiumurium flagella; however, this evidence is generally believed to apply to the homologous system in E. coli as well.
The three major components of the flagellum are the basal body located within the membranes, and the hook and filament which extend from the basal body outward. The basal body contains the Flagellar Motor Complex and the Flagellar Export Apparatus. The hook is a polymer of FlgE proteins connected to the rod of the basal body. The filament is a polymer of FliC proteins joined to the hook by the FlgK and FlgL hook-filament junction proteins and capped by the filament capping protein, FliD.
The FlgE subunits form 11 parallel rows or protofilaments on the hook's cylindrical surface. Two hook filament junction proteins, FlgK and FlgL, join the hook to the filament [Berg03]. FlgK and FlgL are exported from the cytoplasm with the help of the chaperone FlgN [Fraser99, Bennett01] via the type III flagellar export apparatus once hook assembly is complete [Kutsukake94].
The 20,000 or so FliC subunits form 11 parallel rows or protofilaments on the filament's cylindrical surface. There are two packing configurations which result in either a left- or a right-handed helical orientation depending on whether the subunits are packed into "long" or "short" protofilaments, respectively. If both types of protofilaments are present simultaneously, the helical filament has both curvature as well as twist with the short protofilaments aligned along the inside of the helix. Each filament is driven at a rotational speed of around 100 Hz by a membrane-embedded rotary motor at its base capable of switching direction of rotation in response to signals from the chemotaxis system. Flagellar/motor complexes are located peritrichously around the outside of the cell with 4, on average, per cell. They originate at random points on its sides and extend several cell body lengths out into the medium. During smooth swimming, their rotation is counterclockwise, causing the flagella to bundle together and propel the cell forward. When the flagellar motor switches to clockwise, the filament's helical orientation transforms from a left-handed supercoil to a right-handed supercoil. The transformation first occurs at the base of the filaments and propagates quickly to the distal end causing the filament bundles to fall apart smoothly which results in tumbling. The run usually lasts for a few seconds followed by the tumble for a fraction of a second. The flagellar filament is connected proximally to a flexible hook structure which is a polymer of FlgE subunits, via two hook-filament junction proteins (FlgK and FlgL) and distally to the flagellar cap, FliD [Hasegawa98, Berg03, Samatey01].
The cap complex consists of five subunits of FliD, which form a pentagonal plate domain and axially extended leg-like domains which insert into cavities at the distal end of the growing filament [Maki98]. The resulting space formed under the cap plate serves as a folding chamber for the FliC flagellin subunits that have just been exported to the distal end of the nascent flagella [Yonekura00]. The leg-like domains of the flagellar cap allow for limited flexibility, permitting insertion of newly folded FliC into an indentation or open gap caused by a symmetry mismatch between the cap and the filament's distal end [Yonekura00]. Upon incorporation of a FliC monomer into the indentation, the cap complex rotates and moves up through conformational rearrangement of the leg-like domains. This creates a new open gap indentation which serves as the next flagellin binding site [MakiYonekura03, Minamino04].

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina tailback Gio Bernard is entering the NFL draft after his sophomore season.
The school announced Bernard's decision Friday morning and a news conference is scheduled for Friday afternoon.
Bernard is draft-eligible because he has been out of high school for three seasons. He missed the 2010 season with a knee injury, then became a first-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference selection the next two seasons. He also earned third-team All-America honors from The Associated Press this week.
Bernard led the ACC in rushing, scoring, all-purpose yards and punt-return average.
Bernard ran for 1,228 yards and 12 touchdowns despite missing two games and most of another with a knee injury. He ranked 11th nationally by averaging 122.8 yards per game.
He scored a league-best 19 touchdowns, including two on punt returns.

L.L. and Z.L. contributed equally to this study.
The mechanisms of the improvement of glucose homeostasis through angiotensin receptor blockers are not fully elucidated in hypertensive patients. We investigated the effects of telmisartan on insulin signaling and glucose uptake in cultured myotubes and skeletal muscle from wild-type and muscle-specific peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-δ knockout (MCK-PPARδ−/−) mice. Telmisartan increased PPARδ expression and activated PPARδ transcriptional activity in cultured C2C12 myotubes. In palmitate-induced insulin-resistant C2C12 myotubes, telmisartan enhanced insulin-stimulated Akt and Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) phosphorylation as well as Glut4 translocation to the plasma membrane. These effects were inhibited by antagonizing PPARδ or phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, but not by PPARγ and PPARα inhibition. Palmitate reducing the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes could be restored by telmisartan. In vivo experiments showed that telmisartan treatment reversed high-fat diet–induced insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in wild-type mice but not in MCK-PPARδ−/− mice. The protein levels of PPARδ, phospho-Akt, phospho-AS160, and Glut4 translocation to the plasma membrane in the skeletal muscle on insulin stimulation were reduced by high-fat diet and were restored by telmisartan administration in wild-type mice. These effects were absent in MCK-PPARδ−/− mice. These findings implicate PPARδ as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of hypertensive subjects with insulin resistance.

[CS6] Adobe Creative Suite 6 really enables you to create exceptional work, even faster than ever before-- especially if you're doing any Web design or developments. And you can do this through a number of programs-- say, for instance, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, whatever the case may be. I'm going to actually start off in Illustrator. And what a lot of Web Designers do is you need to often create a sort of pattern, and this might be for the background for a Web page-- whatever the case may be. But you can do this even faster than before, just by selecting your graphics, going to Object, down to Pattern, and making a pattern out of these selected objects. And it just tells me it's going to put it over here in the Swatches panel--that's great. And you can see how it makes that pattern. So I can use this Pattern Options panel to manipulate this. So let's just drop that down-- like that-- and there I have this pattern that's being generated. And from there, I can even manipulate it even further by-- say, for instance--using this Color Guide. So I can go ahead and apply these colors-- just like that. Again, if I need to shift this to red, I can make that happen, almost instantaneously. And the last thing I can do here is I can just go ahead and save a copy. We'll just call this "Vienna Red pattern", OK, and then you can see-- it puts it right over here, and then I'm good to go. So anytime I want to use that, I can go ahead and use that immediately. But this is just one of the many time-saving things you can do in Illustrator that really helps out the Web Designer doing any sort of work--any graphic work. I now what to show you some of the features in Photoshop. And in Photoshop CS6, there's actually 65 improvements that have been added. And I'd say a good chunk of those really deal with performance, as well. So if I come in here-- and, even starting out with my Preferences and if I go into File Handling-- notice it will actually save images in the background and automatically save Recovery information every 10 minutes. So--heaven forbid--if you ever have a crash, you can still recover that file. So that is great-- again, these little things that you'll start to notice--after awhile, even some of the tools that you know and love and have used for years, have been optimized and actually work out even better. So let's go into the Crop tool, for instance-- and it really hasn't been changed in years, but you can see with CS6 how it works. I can go ahead and grab any one of the sides and crop this down to more of a Web-friendly size. Potentially, you can see this might work out well in some sort of Banner area. But you can see how I can crop it down--just like that-- and now I can manipulate this,just by moving the image around. And I love this, right here. These little Check boxes--little improvements that you'll see-- delete the cropped pixels. That's if you want to, but I really don't want to do that because if I ever commit this change, and then all of a sudden my banner size changes-- well, I can always go back into that, as you can see, and I can still extend that out to be that larger size. So these little improvements help out a ton. I want to go ahead and shift gears and jump into Dreamweaver now. And Dreamweaver has quite a few improvements. A lot of these improvements are around getting up and running faster, as well. So I'm going to go to: >FIle>New, and there's quite a few things in here, but say, for instance, if I want to go ahead and make a mobile site, I can jump in here to "Page from Sample" and grab this Mobile Starter layout. So I can click Create--here it is. I can go ahead and Save this file-- just like that. So rather than having to write all this code or download it from the Internet, whatever the case may be--I can go ahead and copy those exactly where they need to be. And if I click on Live View, you can see what that looks like, and that content actually works. So that's great--from there, I can even insert some various widgets as well. If I just check out jQuery Mobile, I can drop in any of this. So getting up and running fast is very easy to do. Even from there, what I can also do is start to stylize this as well, because--if you take a look at the CSS styles, it can be daunting. But what I can easily do is come in here, go to Window>jQueryMobile Swatches, and I can go ahead and pick the swatch that I want for any certain element. So for this upper element, I can go ahead and click on that yellow--this bottom element-- click on that yellow, and you can see how I can easily swap out and customize this the way I want to customize it. Going from there, if I do happen to want to get more specific I can select any of these various properties-- say, for instance, the Text Shadow. The Text Shadow, I can change from black-- and I'm just going to change this to red. But look how I have this modal window that will pop up, allowing me to select that specific color. I don't have to worry about entering any numbers. I just select what I need to and then I move on. So if we just take a look at this-- you could see that's slightly red. It's that Drop Shadow, but I could easily do that over here in my CSS Styles panel. And from there, what I can do is I can go ahead and upload this mobile Web site-- and I can do that, actually, by hitting Upload or Put, and what has been rebuilt is the FTP Preferment. So it actually will upload your files faster-- of course, depending on your Internet connection. But it's great that this has been rebuilt and optimized. So really, these are just some of the features that we've added to these various programs, that you might use as a Web Designer or Developer that really help you get up to speed faster, so you could really focus on the capabilities and the design of your project, rather than worrying about the tool at all-- tool gets out of your way, really allowing you to focus on your project.

QUNU, SOUTH AFRICA — Former South African president Nelson Mandela was finally laid to rest in his rural home of Qunu on Sunday at a high-profile funeral that attracted dignitaries from all corners of the globe who included his Royal Highness Prince Charles, Jesse Jackson, Hollywood celebrity Idriss Elba, Business magnate Richard Branson, Malawian president Joyce Banda, and famed U.S. talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey. Four thousand local and international journalists were accredited to cover the class-one funeral that is the highest honor in South Africa, and it was broadcast in over 100 countries. Mandela passed away a week ago at his Houghton home in Johannesburg after a long fight with a recurring lung infection, and his funeral was unarguably the biggest state funeral in world history. Mandela's influence in Africa goes far beyond the borders of South Africa, and he is regarded across the continent as the father of democracy. Mandela stopped racism, apartheid and other controversies between the Whites and Blacks. Continue Reading →
