android ipad iphone The mobile market never ceases to surprise me. Amidst a sea of heavy in-app-purchase exploitation, pay-to-win games, and clones, there are still a large number of modern classics that brave the choppy waters and come out on top. Tiny Thief is the latest example of this triumph. It knows its roots, it looks unique, and it executes the touch-screen setup flawlessly. It's also extremely adorable. | 07-23-2013 | ||
android iphone pc ps3 PSVita xbox360 Back in February, Zen Studios released three tables based on the Star Wars series, adding to the already vast library of tables for Pinball FX2. They were fantastic, diverse, and just as feature-rich as the other tables for the game. Many believed it would be hard for the studio to match that collection. These newest tables not only match the previous set but manage to surpass it. | 10-23-2013 | ||
ipad iphone Burn it All is quite a departure from Pastagames' previous game Pix'n Love Rush. Rather than creating another retro-themed platformer, the developer turned towards a creative take on tackling a puzzle game.And creative is really the key word here, because Burn it All ranks up there with the most creativily designed puzzle games on the App Store. | 04-28-2011 | ||

ipad iphone Alongside complicated and in-depth games in the contemporary market, I tend to enjoy the occasional simplistic gaming affair more than ever. Sometimes, minimalistic games that are nothing more than "hero defeats monster" do more to scratch my gaming itch than anything else. Sometimes, all it takes is a Knight, a Wizard, and a Thief slashing slimes to bits to really get you going. | 04-08-2013 | ||

ipad iphone Has it really been 20 years since I first played Another World as a mere child, tried to understand what I was supposed to do, failed, and never got beyond the first section? Apparently it has. Eric Chahi's masterpiece was re-released before as Another World - 15th Anniversary Edition, and this iOS version takes the graphical upgrades and adds touch controls, which actually work surprisingly well. | 09-27-2011 | ||
ipad iphone It's a bug-eat-bug world out there and victory tastes like... dead insect carcasses. This iOS game is an energetic combination of strategy defense and resource management.

Deal with it. | 09-20-2013 | ||

3ds ipad iphone ps1 Wii-U The original Double Dragon, the game that started it all, is now available on the Wii U and 3DS eShop. I don't know if it still holds up. I can tell you the movie starring Iron Chef America's Chairman does not. I can bet the cartoon doesn't, either. But, in the words of my uncle: that music is still balling. I've looped the trailer a few times already just listening to it. | 03-11-2011 | ||
iphone If you want to make it to the top of the iPhone App Store, it seems that the more birds your game has, the better it will sell. That is, if the gameplay itself is engaging, addictive, and fun. Enter Air Penguin, the new #1 iPhone game on the App Store. Air Penguin certainly has a bird -- a fat penguin, no less -- but is it really that addictive and fun? | 04-25-2011 | ||

With big names like Jennifer Hale and David Hayter attached, not to mention the million dollar budget, to say this stealth adventure promised quite a bit is an understatement.

ipad iphone Joe Danger is a pretty massive hit for Hello Games. We loved the first game, we enjoyed the sequel, and in 2013 they brought the franchise to iOS. Now, Joe rides yet again on the mobile platform, but this time, he's shrunk down to Toy Story size and placed in a series of mini themed levels and races. It's more of the same, but that should be enough for Joe fans. | 01-09-2014 | ||

Calvin's pre-professional programs will prepare you not only for acceptance into some of the best schools in the country, but also to be a compassionate and well-rounded healthcare provider. Whether you're interested in red blood cells, retinas or retainers, a liberal arts education at Calvin can help you achieve your goals.
A pharmacist plays a vital role in the health care deployment team. Their responsibilities range from dispensing medications to monitoring a patient's health and progress. Calvin's pre-pharmacy program will prepare you for graduate school by giving you a background in science and mathematics within the context of a strong liberal arts core. As a pre-pharmacy student, you will typically complete two or three years at Calvin before transferring to a college of pharmacy. Some pharmacy schools prefer that students complete a four-year bachelor's degree before enrolling in a PharmD program. If that is the case, you are strongly encouraged to consider a major in biology or biochemistry. Your pre-pharmacy advisor, John Ubels, will assist you in planning a pre-pharmacy curriculum and preparing for the Pharmacy College Admission Test.
See job placement rates for Calvin grads.
Volunteer at local hospitals and senior centers; attend lectures sponsored by the biology and chemistry departments; spend the summer assisting a professor with research; intern at Van Andel Institute; work in the West Michigan Regional Lab on campus; study abroad in Amsterdam, Honduras, or Belize.
Calvin College does not offer courses in pharmacy; however, students may take courses at Calvin that are prerequisites for acceptance to a pharmacy school. Students interested in a career in pharmacy will complete at least two years at Calvin before transferring to a college of pharmacy to complete four additional years of study culminating in a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. Some schools now prefer that students complete a BS or BA degree before enrolling in pharmacy school. Pre-pharmacy course requirements of the pharmacy schools vary greatly and change often. Some schools do not accept advanced placement credits. Students should carefully and frequently consult the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy website (www.aacp.org) and the websites for the pharmacy schools to which they intend to apply to plan an appropriate course of study. The pre-pharmacy advisor, J. Ubels, will assist students in planning a pre-pharmacy curriculum. Most pharmacy schools require the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT), which should be taken in the fall semester of the student?s final year at Calvin.
New students are automatically considered for general academic scholarships ranging from $1,000-15,000 based on a careful review of their application materials.
For a complete listing of departmental scholarships available to first-year students, use the Scholarship Search ».

CHICAGO Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc.s top executive expects 2013 sales in the United States to top this year.
Jim Lentz, president and chief executive officer of the Torrance, Calif.-based automaker, noted that public opinion of the auto industry has taken a huge turnaround.
Automakers "stepped up their game," he said at the National Automobile Dealers Association/J.D. Power & Associates Western Automotive Conference in Los Angeles. "We paid closer attention to our customers; we worked through issues with regulators; we formed alliances and partnerships to meet future needs; and we made the best cars weve ever produced."
Lentz said the U.S. economy grew 2 percent in the third quarter, unemployment dropped to a three-and-a-half-year low, the consumer confidence index jumped to a five-year high and the housing market has turned the corner.
"Our annual U.S. sales forecast for 2012 is 14.3 million vehicles, an increase of about 1.5 million over 2011. The forecast ahead looks even better: Analysts predict sales will reach 16 million (vehicles) again in just a few years," Lentz told conference attendees.
The roots of such optimism include pent-up demand. "In the U.S., there are more than 245 million cars on the road and the average age of these vehicles has hit a record high of 11 years. More than 20 percent of these cars are over 16 years old," he said.
Vehicle loans have never been cheaper, and younger buyers are returning to the market at a higher rate than any other age category, Lentz said, citing a J.D. Power study. That trend "bodes well for market longevity."
Automakers also are finding a growing consumer base among Hispanicsa segment of the U.S. population that "will have a projected buying power of $1.5 trillion by 2015."
Fuel economy will continue to be a driver of new vehicle sales, Lentz said. "Today in the U.S., there are nearly 300 fuel-efficient models, including 40 hybrids, 33 clean diesels, plug-ins and pure electric vehicles that achieve 30 miles per gallon or more. Thats up by an incredible 330 percent in just six years."

Super cute pages!
People have asked me when I will post my layouts(cough, cough, Tiffany) and here are some layouts from my WDW 2007 Scrapbook:
This is the album's cover.
The title page.
The top says "Tale as Old as Time" I got it somewhere but I can't remember where, but I would like to thank that person!
The stamping says "Aurora Rose"
The stamping says "Crazy" "Kooky" and "Tea Time"
I totally ruined the autograph by making them small squares (I covered Ariel and Belle's faces) but I like it.
The stamping at the bottom says "i wanna be just like you" and in the middle it says "jungle v.i.p."
I will post more soon.
Super cute pages!

Agent IQ is an intelligent server-side resource for responsive website design. It maintains a local database of device capabilities on your Web server and, based on the incoming user agent header, returns an array of capabilities. When a request is received, it looks at the User Agent String of the incoming header and matches it against the database. If there is a match, the device capabilities are stored as PHP and Javascript variables for you to use in shaping how your site is served. If there is no match, the request is re-directed to a JavaScript "learning page" where the database is updated with the client capabilities and is redirected back. There is a learning logic built in to avoid incorrect records. You can set a barrier which determines how many identical records need to be "learned" from unique IPs before the record becomes "official". An "official" record never diverts to the learning page again.
HTMLSplicer is a toolkit that provides methods to compose complex HTML documents from simpler HTML documents, called templates. It can be used to generate servlet responses in Java Web applications, without adopting a full-fledged presentation layer framework like JSP, JSF, Apache Wicket, or GWT.
JWt (Java Web Toolkit) is a library for developing accessible and interactive Web applications with an API that is widget-centric and inspired by desktop GUI APIs. To the developer, it offers abstraction of Web-specific implementation details, including graceful degradation. Under the hood, the library uses the latest techniques when available to handle events and update the user interface.
Jenner is a Web page templating system with a twist: it runs completely within a Web browser. Templates are just normal Web pages with special syntax inside text nodes, attributes, or comments. Unlike other in-browser templating systems, Jenner does not require overloading of "class" attributes or invalid HTML; all Jenner templates are valid Web pages and the template expressions flow in a very natural way. Having the template engine in the Web browser instead of on the server takes a lot of load off of the server, and makes for a clean separation of presentation and content. Jenner is very powerful: it has the full power of the Esel expression language at its disposal. Templates can be rendered from JSON data, and can be re-rendered without a browser-to-server round trip.
Kohana is a PHP 5 framework that uses the Model View Controller architectural pattern. It aims to be secure, lightweight, and easy to use. Although it reuses many common design patterns and concepts, there are some things that make Kohana stand out. It is community driven, uses strict PHP 5 OOP to provide visibility protection, automatic class loading, overloading, interfaces, abstracts, and singletons, and is extremely lightweight. Kohana has no dependencies on PECL extensions or PEAR libraries. Large, monolithic libraries are avoided in favor of optimized solutions.

Summary: EspG protein
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.
This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.
EspG protein Provide feedback
This family consists of several EspG like proteins from Citrobacter rodentium and Escherichia coli. EspG is secreted by the type III secretory system and is translocated into host epithelial cells. EspG is homologous with Shigella flexneri protein VirA and can rescue invasion in a Shigella virA mutant, indicating that these proteins are functionally equivalent in Shigella. EspG plays an accessory but as yet undefined role in EPEC virulence that may involve intestinal colonisation [1].
Literature references

InterPro entry IPR009669
This entry represents a family of bacterial virulence proteins, including EspG from Citrobacter rodentium and Escherichia coli and VirA from Shigella flexneri. Both EspG and VirA are delivered into infected host epithelial cells by a type III secretory system [PUBMED:11349072, PUBMED:18312845]. These proteins function through the disruption of the host cell microtubule network [PUBMED:15972534]. VirA acts as a cysteine protease (EC) on alpha-tubulin, a major component of microtubules, in order to destabilise surrounding microtubules and invade the cytoplasm of their target host cells [PUBMED:17095701]. VirA also promotes the formation of membrane ruffles through the activation of host rac1, which is associated with the destruction of microtubule networks [PUBMED:12065406]. In this way, VirA creates a tunnel inside the host cell cytoplasm by breaking down the microtubule infrastructure, which facilitates the bacterium's movement through the cytoplasm and also helps other bacteria move faster during the invasion of the eukaryotic cell.

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the EspG domain has been found. There are 10 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.

Vol. XVI, no. 1 THE LIBRARY AT TUSCULUM COLLEGE September 2005
This the 16th year of publication for this newsletter. On behalf of the entire library staff (Jack, Anne, Charles, Mary, Carolyn, Marsha, Kathy, Elaine, Jennifer, and Jonathan), readers old and new and regardless of location are invited to join us in person or online as Tusculum College continues another exciting school year.
How We Spent Our Summer; or, A Huge Thanks:
As most of you know by now, the Greeneville library was removed from Pioneer Gym, d.b.a. Pioneer Library, between June 18 and August 8. Three rounds with the professional movers were required before all of the items stored in the gym or the library annex trailer were finally in house here in the Library at Tusculum College. The time was extremely busy for the whole library staff as we also brought in, received training upon, and introduced our new automated system from The Library Corporation (TLC). Some libraries receive new buildings and some obtain new automated systems; very few have ever tried to launch both simultaneously. We are very proud that we were able, with considerable aid and support from the entire campus community, to successfully achieve this double goal. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
Library Grand Opening:
The remodeled Greeneville library's Grand Opening will be held in the lobby at 10: 30 a.m. on Friday, September 23. A ribbon will be cut and appropriate remarks made. The brief ceremony will be one of those memorable events in the history of the institution. Everyone is invited.
New Staff:
Two new staff members have joined us. Jennifer Wilcox, TC Class '03, is here, mainly in afternoons and evenings, on the Greeneville campus while Jonathan Ballinger, a veteran of the Knox County Public Library System, has joined Mary and Elaine at the Knoxville Center. We hope you can find the time to stop by and say "hello" to these folks.
New Hours:
The Greeneville campus library is now open until 11 p.m. Monday-Thursday. On Saturday, we operate from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. These regular hours, any changes to these library hours, and other activities, are posted on the library website http://library.tusculum.edu under Library News.
New Library Automation System:
As noted above, the libraries at both Greeneville and Knoxville are now employing the TLC system for circulation and cataloging. Circulation of books, videos, and reserves now requires the use of a bar-coded ID card. Although most folks have obtained their cards, a few have not and may make inquiry of us as to the process of obtaining one, which is slightly different for Residential or Professional Studies students.
New Book/Videos:
The cataloging and acquisition department has been extremely active this summer. Most faculty requests from both campuses have been ordered and the majority have been received and have been or are being cataloged. Faculty are invited to track recommendations via the online catalog, which is updated daily. FYI, any titles listed as "in processing" are in the Technical Services office (Greeneville) or with Mary (Knoxville), but are not quite ready to go on the shelf. Faculty needing such items before the catalog shows them as "available" may request them of Mary, Carolyn Parker, or Kathy Hipps.
New Books/Videos List:
A new materials list has been posted showing 406 items cataloged into the Greeneville collection since July. It employs a slightly-revised format created by our TLC system.
Orientation/Instructional Sessions:
Faculty, both Traditional and Professional Studies, are encouraged to request general class library orientations or subject-specific library use instructional sessions from the library faculty. Contact points are Anne Reever, Professional Studies Northeast (ex.5801); Mary Halliburton, Professional Studies Southeast (ex. 5016); and Charles Tunstall (ex.5124), Traditional program. Jack Smith is also available for Traditional sessions if needed and Kathy Hipps is assisting Mr. Tunstall. These sessions, on the Greeneville campus, are available in the library's new Information Literacy Room.
Information Literacy:
The library staff remains very interested in pursuit, in whatever way is feasible, of this important concept, reviewed last year with the Programs & Policies Committee, the GPS Council, and the College Council. We, like many of you, are keen that this initiative not falter and are anxious to continue the dialog in whatever forum might prove most viable.
New Faculty/Staff Lounge:
A new faculty/staff lounge (Room 319), dedicated to that purpose during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, has been set aside from the suite of study rooms on the second floor of the Greeneville library. Coffee, courtesy of Dr. Henry, is available. We hope as many folks who have time to swing by for a cup or a visit will do so. The library director personally brews the first pot every morning; any concerns—or compliments-- as to its temperature, strength, or weakness should be addressed to him.

Published: Mar. 8, 2007
Updated: Oct. 5, 2010
Tonsillectomy is the removal of the tonsils. Sometimes the adenoids are removed as well. Tonsillectomy is a common throat operation that provides relief of breathing obstructions, throat infections, and recurrent childhood ear disease.
Read more about tonsils and adenoids.
Though tonsillectomy is a safe and effective procedure, as with all surgeries, there are some risks involved, including -- on rare occasions -- anesthetic complications.
Tonsils and adenoids are removed through the mouth. Methods of removal include electrocautery, coblation, or microdebrider removal. Bleeding is controlled by thermal sealing of the blood vessels, usually at the same time.
In some cases of enlarged tonsils, they may be partially removed (intracapsular tonsillectomy) enough to improve breathing.
Yes, for one to two weeks after surgery the throat can be very sore. This is why we prescribe strong pain medicines.
You may use liquid ibuprofen after a few days to alternate with the prescribed pain medicine. This will help the inflammation and provide longer pain relief. The first three to five days are the most painful with gradual improvement afterward for up to 14 days.
Dehydration can occur if there is not enough fluid intake. Dehydration is most often a problem in the first few days and may require hospital admission for IV fluids.
In addition to the sore throat, ear or neck pain may be present. Ear pain is quite common and is called "referred pain." The ears are not usually infected, but the nerves that transmit pain sensations in the throat also go to the ears, causing the pain to feel like it is in the ears.
Neck pain may be from the position in the operating room, but it should be reported to the doctor's office if you or your child has any trouble turning the head.
Chewing gum can be helpful as it exercises the muscles of the jaw that are often sore after the tonsillectomy, therefore contributing to throat pain. (Please avoid aspirin gum.)
An ice pack on the neck may also help. Gargling with salt water can minimize the growth of bacteria on the scabs in the back of the throat.
Most importantly, taking in plenty of fluids and regularly using the pain medication for the first few days will make it easier to recover.
Report any bleeding immediately. Bleeding usually happens between seven and 10 days after surgery when the wet scabs in the back of the throat are sloughing off. Usually this is a brief bleed that is not significant. However, sometimes this bleeding can precede more severe bleeding and is a warning sign.
Call your doctor if you experience any of the following:

Hi there everyone....
My name is Ken and I've been flying and building for about 15 years....to a few years off when I got married...had to dedicate some time to the wife...but I'm back into the action and flying all kinds of stuff. I started building as a kid with an old book that had 2d drawings of all the major jets of the time and my mother's boyfriend at the time that worked for Boing and had access to used balsa...he did testing and once the test peices failed, they would trash them...so huge blocks of balsa to be used. I started with an F-104 and after carving it out as a hand launch plane, it flew...just as it really does...without a motor...like a brick...or lawn dart...LOL I graduated to a Gentle Lady that I built but never flew... and continued to grow in the building with a large F4U Corsair, again that never flew due to leaving it in the same room sa some dogs while we left to the fair or something...a true CRUNCHY... Lately, I have built a Moth (heavy at ~30oz) and have repaired my Mini-1 (Heavy at ~30oz) and I have an ME-262 Lead Sled from Fermin that I got from...(oh...can't remember his name) Here is a link to most of what I currenly have LINK on RCUniverse. I fly mostly at Kite Hill and Lilly's and have flown Bluff Park, Fermin and a few other sites. I definatly prefer slope and building, but it's nice once in a while to pull something out with an electric motor and just fly... Hope to see you all around. Ken ps...The picture of the Radian..is my plane, but a friend holding it... |
