Combined Deficiency of Proapoptotic Regulators Bim and Fas Results in the Early Onset of Systemic Autoimmunity

SummaryAlterations in the stoichiometric balance between members of Bcl-2 and Fas apoptotic pathway could lead to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We showed that patients with SLE displayed increased expression in antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 and Fas apoptotic pathways in isolated mononuclear cells. Further, mice (Bcl2l11−/−Faslpr/lpr) lacking the Bcl-2 pro-apoptotic member, Bim (Bcl2l11−/−) and and with an lpr mutation in the gene encoding Fas (Faslpr/lpr) developed severe SLE-like disease by 16 weeks of age unlike Bcl2l11−/− or Faslpr/lpr mice. Bcl2l11−/−Faslpr/lpr antigen-presenting cells (APCs) were markedly activated, and their numbers were increased in lymphoid tissues and in kidneys, yet numerous TUNEL-positive cells were observed in glomeruli of Bcl2l11−/−Faslpr/lpr mice. These data demonstrate that dysregulation of the Bcl-2 or Fas pathways can alter the function of APCs, thereby leading to SLE pathogenesis.

Apoptosis Regulators Fas and Bim Cooperate in Shutdown of Chronic Immune Responses and Prevention of Autoimmunity

SummaryApoptotic death of T lymphocytes is critical for shutdown of immune responses and hemopoietic cell homeostasis. Both death receptor (Fas) activation and mitochondrial apoptosis triggered by the BH3-only protein Bim have been implicated in the killing of antigen-stimulated T cells. We examined mice lacking the gene encoding Bim (Bcl2l11) and with the inactivating lpr mutation in the gene encoding Fas (Fas), designated Bcl2l11−/−Faslpr/lpr mice. Shutdown of an acute T cell response to herpes simplex virus involved only Bim with no contribution by Fas, whereas both pathways synergized in killing antigen-stimulated T cells in chronic infection with murine γ-herpesvirus. Bcl2l11−/−Faslpr/lpr mice developed remarkably enhanced and accelerated fatal lymphadenopathy and autoimmunity compared to mice lacking only one of these apoptosis inducers. These results identify critical overlapping roles for Fas and Bim in T cell death in immune response shutdown and prevention of immunopathology and thereby resolve a long-standing controversy.

The BH3-Only Proteins Bim and Puma Cooperate to Impose Deletional Tolerance of Organ-Specific Antigens
Immunity, Volume 37, Issue 3, 21 September 2012, Pages 451-462
Daniel H.D. Gray, Fiona Kupresanin, Stuart P. Berzins, Marco J. Herold, Lorraine A. O'Reilly, Philippe Bouillet and Andreas Strasser
SummaryAlthough the proapoptotic BH3-only protein, Bim, is required for deletion of autoreactive thymocytes, Bim-deficient mice do not succumb to extensive organ-specific autoimmune disease. To determine whether other BH3-only proteins safeguard tolerance in the absence of Bim, we screened mice lacking Bim as well as other BH3-only proteins. Most strains showed no additional defects; however, mice deficient for both Puma and Bim spontaneously developed autoimmunity in multiple organs, and their T cells could transfer organ-specific autoimmunity. Puma- and Bim-double-deficient mice had a striking accumulation of mature, single-positive thymocytes, suggesting an additional defect in thymic deletion was the basis for disease. Transgenic mouse models of thymocyte deletion by peripheral neoantigens confirmed that the loss of Bim and Puma allowed increased numbers of autoreactive thymocytes to escape deletion. Our data show that Puma cooperates with Bim to impose a thymic-deletion checkpoint to peripheral self-antigens and cement the notion that defects in apoptosis alone are sufficient to cause autoimmune disease.

Add/View Comments (0)Apoptosis Regulators Bim and Fas Function Concurrently to Control Autoimmunity and CD8+ T Cell Contraction

- Throughout most of adult life, lymphocyte number remains constant because of a balance of proliferation and apoptosis. Mutation of Bim, a proapoptotic protein in the intrinsic death pathway, or Fas, a tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily member of the extrinsic pathway, results in late-onset autoimmunity and increased antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses during viral infection. However, virus-specific immune responses eventually return to amounts comparable to those for nonmutant mice. Here, we show that loss of both Bim and Fas function resulted in a synergistic disruption of lymphoid homeostasis, rapid-onset autoimmunity, and organ-specific blocks on contraction of antiviral immune responses. When lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)-specific immune responses were quantitated, double-mutant mice had 100-fold more antigen-specific memory CD8+ T cells in their lymph nodes than wild-type mice. Our results demonstrate that multiple death pathways function concurrently to prevent autoimmunity and downsize T cell responses.

In celebration of The Public Interest's second-place showing in the state Associated Press awards for blogging, I'm posting a picture of Mayor Jeff Graham in a Tim Tebow jersey and congressional candidate Matt Doheny dressed like a pirate at the Alexandria Bay Pirate Days parade.
You can't take back the award now, AP! Muhahahahaha!
Mr. Graham is serving his last term as mayor; Mr. Doheny, a Republican, faces Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, on Nov. 6.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
I just hope that its only the guaranteed money thats an issue here and not the actual cap hit. At this point, I'd say Flacco is worth 16.5 a year, if he wins the SB, it goes up to 17.5, hopefully Flacco agrees to that, and then the guaranteed money will be the only issue, as it was with Rice. Because the franchise tag is so huge for the QB, it is probably the most important contract to get done before the deadline in franchise history. If we can get Flaccos deal done, we can enjoy a solid offseason of one or two FA signings, and enjoy a draft of 11 picks.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
Hes only being paid in part because of his past. Its about trajectory which his is on an upward trend due to having a new OC and realizing how the old one was holding him back. being 27 and making a SB and possibly winning, set you apart from the rest of the pack. What youre arguing im not even sure the team is at this point and theyre the ones trying to make a case to pay him less. Holding against him his OC who the team admitted was an issue by firing him mid season is really hurting that argument.
Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
La Canfora seconds Rapoport's sentiment that the durable and relatively young Flacco is more concerned with a high annual salary than upfront guarantees.
It seems that $20 million per year is Flacco's "magic number." If Newsome comes close to hitting that mark, "the happier (Flacco) will be and the more quickly this long-term deal will get done," La Canfora reported.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
The Ravens offense for the last 5 years has been set up for inconsistency at the QB position. Look at the passes the QB is asked to make. It is deep vertical routes and out routes. This team goes deep more than any other team which is a very low percentage of success. Until Cam was fired there were very few easy passes in the game plans. Easy passes are what allow a QB to get into a rhythm. The Ravens were a run heavy don't turn the ball over offense. They had few weapons at the receiver position. T smith was far from a complete WR last year and he still is not a complete wr. I would love to see the percentage of passing plays that were run out of the I formation with only 1 receiver out on a route. There is not a QB on the planet that would have been consistent in that offense. You can't ask qb to throw 25 times a game a large percentage of the passes being deep balls and in 3rd and long situation and expect consistency. Flacco has been consistent when they open up the offense. All QBs have bad games and bad passes. When you are running a conservative offense those mistakes and bad games look far worse.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
Joe has darn near met every incentive in his rookie contract. That's part of why he might be willing to focus on the higher annual salary.

It's the signal of delicious and festive things to come. Today, the last day of 2010, it's also the sound of a new year starting. Although I've opened countless of bottles of sparkling wine, there was a time, not too long ago, when I didn't know the proper technique.

Commission to consider Moore's request, term limit revisions
Date: December 7, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Town Commission at 7 p.m., tonight, will consider a request by Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant owner Alan Mooreregular meeting tonight to approve a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a request to change the zoning of the restaurant from commercial to residential.
The majority of the town's Planning and Zoning Board decided not to recommend Moore's request in October, sending the request forward to the commission without a recommendation.
If Moore can't get the Town Commission to approve his request, he says he won't be able to renegotiate double-digit interest rate loans that are coming due on his business next month. Moore said he still plans to operate the restaurant as is, but needs the zoning changed to keep his business afloat.
The commission also will consider a revised ordinance that would allow commissioners to serve three consecutive two-year terms as well as any additional time served as a partial term limit for being appointed.
Also at its meeting tonight at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road, the commission will consider:
• Jan. 26 as the town's preliminary election date (if required) and March 16 as the general municipal election date.
• A request by the Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Office to maintain Town Hall as a poling precinct for 2010.
Forwarding to its Monday, Jan. 4 regular meeting for second reading and public hearing:
• An ordinance that reconciles discrepancies in the town's water and wastewater charges.
• An ordinance that revises a category of the town's business tax receipt program to reduce the cost paid by individuals renting their boat slips.
• An ordinance that makes minor modifications to the town's telecommunications ordinance.
Two requests:
• By the Dry Dock Waterfront Grill and The Longboat Key Club and Resort's Harbourside Tennis Gardens. The Dry Dock is requesting a site plan amendment for additional outdoor seating and The Tennis Gardens is asking for a site plan amendment to allow for outdoor dining at the facility's snack bar/café during operating hours of the indoor dining facility.
• A resolution that would make the town an applicant in a submerged lands public easement that would allow The Longboat Key Moorings Marina to move forward with a small dredging project in the Bay Isles access channel.
• A resolution that will transfer $30,000 from the north end erosion control structure account to the North Shore Road sand fill project account. This resolution will allow the town to place 600 cubic yards of sand near the severely eroded North Shore Road public beach access point.

Has it been in the bottom of a lake recently? (sorry, different thread we've been enjoying). Good condition 97 and 98's seem to be in the range of $4,500-10,000. Higher end of the scale usually means they've added some stuff and want their money back (hah!). Lower end means higher miles, smaller engine. A Sahara model with 97k? I'd say 6k is a good price. Have fun with your new ride (this one or whatever you find), and send pictures! |
s3nt3nc3d |
I'd recommend running a Carfax report on it...see if it's been in any major accidents. Also if you know a mechanic or have a friend who's really good with vehicles, maybe take them with you to do a walk-around and see if they see any signs of neglect/abuse that you overlooked. I can't advise you on the price...I'd say check NADA Guides value...and compare. If it's less and everything checks out...it's probably a pretty decent deal. Used car values are still high as well... I was talking to our GM at the dealership I work for and he said right now, you can take the book value and add $3,000 to it and that's bout what you're looking to pay for a used vehicle...they're all still recovering from the Cash for Clunkers stuff. |

Is this a good deal? I have checked out a '98 Wrangler Sahara a few times. It's in good working order, very nice condition. Everything seems okay and it also has a hard top. It has 93,000 miles. The guy was asking 7k for it but I talked him down to 6k. He seemed very inexperienced with Jeeps, so I'm not sure if he knew what the vehicle was actually worth. Should I jump on it? |

Some shoppers will pay more for greener tech
Twelve percent of Americans are willing to pay more for greener electronics, according to a Forrester Research survey of 5,000 people. The study forecast that electronics companies will learn to target this segment of the population, equivalent to 25 million consumers.
The report broke down shoppers into three categories: "bright" green, green, and un-green. Another 41 percent may care about environmental woes, but not enough to pay more for greener gadgets, while green issues were of little or no concern to another 47 percent of people surveyed.
"Bright" green consumers are otherwise known by the … Read more

My husband and I stayed at the Cider Mill in. We have only good things to say about our stay. The rooms are clean and cozy, the food is delicious and the owner is sweet and friendly. The rooms look better in person. We will come back.

My boyfriend booked a room at Cider Mill Inn for a nice little romantic weekend getaway for my birthday. What a great little place. The Victorian feel made it homey and cozy, and the cleanliness was impeccable. This was my first time at a B&B and it exceeded my expectations. We spent the day at Warwick Winery and used the rest of the weekend to relax- perfect atmosphere for it. And the breakfast- amazing. Probably up there with the best breakfast....ever. Not to mention the gooey caramel salted brownies I couldn't stop eating. I definitely recommend.

This was my first B&B and my wife's second. It was a great experience. We were greeted by the friendly owner who welcomed us with a friendly smile. Breakfast was amazing and we were both blown away. I would definitely come back.

We loved it so much, I went back two weeks later with my sister. Breakfast is out of this world.

My wife and I have stayed at few B&Bs and this is the first time that I have written a review. Our host, Bob was so nice and made us feel incredibly welcomed. The rooms were beautiful and very comfortable. Our plans only allowed us to stay one night, but we wish it could have been more! The breakfast (4 courses!) was tremendous!! That is an understatement. The scones/muffins were warm and tasty, the fruit was incredibly fresh, the Tai-Oatmeal could have been served as a dinner dessert, and then the eggs along with the baked croissant ham & cheese was just over the top!! The very best however is their cat Loki! He is sooooooo friendly and sooooo soft! Bob was wonderful to speak with and told us of a great place to buy the same soap they use. Rosner Soap located in Sugar Loaf, NY. We did not know that it would be located amongst all these other little shops, so thanks to Bob, we had a wonderful day going to these little shops (plus to Rosner Soap store as well). Next time we will plan to stay longer to use the outdoor pool and hot tub! I urge anyone looking for a B&B in this area should no doubt go to the Cider Mill Inn and you will not be disappointed! John & Maria

Spent 2 nights at this cozy inn. The sheets were amazing and the breakfasts were the best we've had anywhere! Friendly innkeeper - a true bed and breakfast - we'll be back!

My wife and I spent two nights at the Cider Mill Inn, and we loved it. Bob's a great host; he's not only an interesting guy with a wealth of knowledge about the area, but he's also truly interested in his guests; a good listener. The breakfasts are imaginative and truly memorable. I realized after our return home that I'd carelessly left behind a few books. I didn't call Bob about them immediately; imagine my pleasant surprise when they arrived nicely packaged in the mail (and Bob had sent them priority mail!). We will definitely return. Rick and Bobbie Bailey.

Beautiful location, delightful room. Exquisite breakfast - 4 courses every morning, something different each day. Delicious scones and muffins for first course. Favorite the ham & cheese crisp. Wonderful place to stay.

Just came back from a music festival in nearby Warwick, NY; found the Cider Mill Inn a relaxing and friendly place to stay. They had everything we needed, it was clean, quiet and nicely appointed. The owner, Bob, was a great guy and very accommodating. I must admit my favorite thing about it was the breakfast, outstanding food!

The inn was located a good 20 min ride from the closest village that was full of small antiques stores. The whole house was tastefully decorated with vivid colors and schemes and romantic old style furniture with attention to detail. We booked the biggest room which looked like and old French country bedroom. Furniture, fabrics and decor items were tastefully combined and arranged. The bathroom was accordingly coordinated with the rest of the room and it featured an amazing jacuzzi. The fresh flowers in the room were a plus. Breakfast was well prepared and filling and it took approximately an hour and a half to two hours to be prepared and served. Be prepared to spend that amount of time in the breakfast table before you make any plans for the day. We overall believe that $550 for a two night stay is extravagant for a Bed and Breakfast located upstate New York.

All that we hoped for and more. The rooms are beutiful and well kept. Food was outstanding. 3 and 4 course meals for breakfast. Great location too. Dairy nearby with fresh cheese and bread, candy store with the best candy apples we've ever had, farmers markets, and great hiking. What else could you ask for.

Innkeeper was very nice and made sure to go out of his way for special occasions (he made us chocolate covered strawberries because it was my birthday) Very quiet and great for a relaxing weekend getaway. Nice pool and hot tub. Definitely recommend!

United States Senator
January 21, 2009
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee,
On The Consideration of Eric H. Holder Jr. To Be Attorney General of the United States
Executive Business Meeting
January 21, 2009
Yesterday we stood witness to history as Barack Obama became our Nation's 44th President. The last several days have been a time of reflection and celebration for all Americans, concluding with the peaceful transfer of power that Senator Feinstein noted is a manifestation of our democracy's enduring strength. Those of us serving on this Committee are among the few accorded the privilege of serving as elected representatives of the people of our states and the Nation. The people are united. We should follow their lead and redouble our efforts to work together and with the new administration to tackle our problems with a shared sense of resolve.
Today our work to help remake America begins. As our President reminded us yesterday: "[T]he challenges we face are real, they are serious and they are many." This Committee can help do its part by clearing the way for key members of the national security team to be confirmed by the Senate without delay. The need for leadership at the Department of Justice has never been greater.
President Obama's historic pick of Eric H. Holder Jr. to be the Attorney General has met every fair confirmation standard. In connection with his confirmation hearing, this Committee has received endorsements from more than 130 law enforcement and criminal justice organizations, civil rights organizations, victims' advocates, legal practitioners, bar associations, and current and former public officials, including many who served as high-ranking officials in the Reagan and two Bush Administrations.
When Mr. Holder's hearing began last Thursday in the Senate Caucus Room, Senator John Warner once again showed the bipartisanship leadership that made him a great senator for the past 30 years. He instructed that the problems facing the Department of Justice and the country are so important that we must put aside partisanship and work together. He presented and endorsed Eric H. Holder Jr. to be Attorney General and described his outstanding qualifications, integrity, and independence.
The Committee's two days of hearings on Mr. Holder's nomination ended with a panel of witnesses drawn from the public. These witnesses included Judge Louis Freeh, the former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Fran Townsend, until last year Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser to President George W. Bush; Chuck Canterbury, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police; and John Payton, Director-Counsel and President of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. All strongly urged the Committee and the Senate to move quickly to confirm Mr. Holder's nomination.
Over the course of many hours, Mr. Holder answered every question from every Member of this Committee. All Senators were accorded such time as they needed in three extended rounds of questioning to ask whatever they chose. In the time since the hearing, scores of pages of extensive written questions have been sent to Mr. Holder on behalf of Members. One Republican Senator propounded 24 pages of written questions. Mr. Holder responded to those written questions over the inaugural weekend. I am confident he will likewise respond to questions not forwarded to him until today.
Mr. Holder has demonstrated that he is part of change we need to restore the rule of law, "to reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals." Having had the opportunity for two months to review his record and having heard his testimony, it is time for this Committee to consider this important nomination. I am more convinced than ever that Eric Holder is a person who will reinvigorate the Department of Justice and serve ably as a key member of the President's national security team. He will pursue the Justice Department's vital missions with skill, integrity, independence and a commitment to the rule of law.
I conclude these brief remarks by thanking our Ranking Republican Member, the senior Senator from Pennsylvania, for consulting with me about proceeding today to consider the President's nomination of Eric H. Holder Jr. to be Attorney General of the United States. I appreciate the hard work and cooperation of all Members of the Committee on this important nomination and their willingness to proceed to its consideration today. Any Senator can delay it, but I hope that no one will. The problems and threats confronting the country are too serious to delay. Acting today to send this nomination to the Senate will be a small but important step in answering the Nation's call for bipartisanship.

"His" win.America´s loss.The jackwagons at Politico just woke up from a four year nap and noticed the $16T debt.Spare me, Politico. Click Here if you Like this Comment
You don´t understand. Debt is not The Marxist´s problem. It is his goal. Once that reality is grasped, his actions and plans manifest a pattern. The only path to the nation´s salvation is to deny him the ability to spend or borrow. It begins with the so-called debt "ceiling", which must not be raised. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Inevitably, the debt will be repudiated. No way will future generations put up with being debt slaves. They´ll use the underground economy to avoid dealing with the government at all. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Sanders (I-VT) is an avowed communist idiot. If he´s so concerned about closing loopholes for corporations, why did he vote for the recent tax bill which included gold-plated write-offs? I know the answer: Because those gold-plated tax write-offs are for favored demonrat donors - GE, Whirlpool, Tinseltown, and useless green energy bundlers.

It´s pretty clear what his strategy is...keep raising the debt ceiling and have the treasury keep printing more money. Geithner has already said they´d like to abolish the debt limit altogether, and I suspect Obama will do exactly that at some point.It is indeed his strategy. He and his communist comrades want to push us so far into debt that there us no way we can recover.And the Republicans are afraid to say so or do anything to stop them. The end game is now certain. There will be an armed revolution when it all collapses. The only question remaining is who will emerge in control. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

Firefox: New Beta and Security Updates
Beginning of the week saw the emergence of two Firefox browser releases. They should be a win for stability and security.
The Mozilla project has already opened the week with two Firefox updates, Firefox 3.5 in a fourth beta and a 3.0.10 update to the stable 3.0 release.
Firefox 3.5, which was until recently still called 3.1, is in its fourth beta appropriate for developer testing and community feedback. The Mozilla project built in some performance enhancements and better surfing speed and webpage compatibility. The beta is available in 70 languages and includes private browsing mode to prevent others from peeking at your browsing history. The TraceMonkey JavaScript engine should provide better performance and stability.
Firefox 3.5's geolocation function provides location-aware browsing, while speculative parsing in the Gecko layout engine should render content faster. Integration of video and audio element support in HTML 5 we had already reported back in September. The update includes new CSS properties and font downloads, vector graphic support was improved, and includes HTML 5 offline data storage capabilities where web applications can integrate data in structured SQL format.
The stable Firefox 3.0.10 release may be less feature rich but nonetheless plugs a security hole. The update fixes a problem that would crash the browser and, because of memory corruption, caused vulnerability to attacks. The patches also fix a crash issue when investigating code with the HTML Validator. Mozilla promised automatic update notification to Firefox users within 48 hours. Downloads of the 3.5 beta are available at the Mozilla website.

Help Keep QuestCompletist Accurate with the new QCTool Coming Soon
Over the past couple of weeks I have been doing some preparation for the upcoming beta, and have also been working hard on a new out-of-game community tool so that its much easier for everyone to have their input into the QC database, and together make it as accurate as possible.
I have hosted my QC database online, and written some software which allows me to generate the Lua code for the addon directly from this central server. I am also in the middle of developing a community tool which anyone can use (Albeit at the beginning I will probably limit it to people who explicitly request access just until i know everything is working as intended) to update inaccuracies they may find on their travels. This is obviously completely optional, but your changes are audited then saved directly back to the database live, and will be included in the next iteration of the add-on automatically!
Still plenty of work to do, but here is a peek of what the basic quest editor looks like:
Version 1.00 - Server Query
I'm still not completely finished with this version yet - I still have to add some missing menu options, merge alot more data, and possibly add some daily\repeatable filters.
I am releasing it now because I think I have sorted out the server query issue (Well it works for me anyways), and figured people wanted that ASAP. Let me know of any weirdness happening.
Version 0.99.9
Thanks to the hundreds of people that have sent data in. This version includes a lot of data merges for Pandaria, improving the faction\race\class accuracy by a solid margin - still work to do on this though. Still need to collect a mixture of information from the level 90 reputation grinding hubs, but more to come on that later.
- Server query shouldn't be playing up anymore. (Hopefully)
- Chat spam for faction\race\class has been switched off as panda's playing through the old world were getting swamped.
- Other fixes.
Please keep the data coming through.
Version 0.99.8 - MoP Beta Version
Plenty more work to do, but figured I might as well get it out there so people can help collect data if they wish. The bulk of all main zones are mapped, but if you are interested in collecting data the areas that need work are listed below. Please note that although the quests are in there, they need their class\race\faction flags fixed up so please adjust filters as needed.
Please adjust your filters to show Alliance Quests for the moment. The majority of zones area cross-faction, but alot of it hasn't been flagged as horde yet. I will be working hard on this before next version.
- The majority of level 90 Daily Quest\Rep farming hubs, eg. Cloud Serpents, Halfhill Farm, etc. (Sooo many Daily Quests >.<)
- The horde only quests in Krasarang Wilds.
- A few horde breadcrumbs scattered around the zones.
- Dungeon\Raid quests
- Legendary quest chain (I will likely have to manually build it)
- Battle Pet questchains (Horde\Alliance)
Version 0.99.7 - Translations Required!
- Second release of 0.99.7 fixes a small bug that was preventing quest collection.
Localization has began! Please help out with the translations for QC at: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/quest_completist/localization/ Keep checking back, more translations will be required over time as I add to the tables.
- Completed some more merging, but plenty more to follow - keep the data coming!
- Updated some of the collection code as I was getting some dud data that was messing with the database.
- Rewritten the menu system to improve performance and add full support for localization.
- Category dropdown submenus should display in alpha order now, (All languages).
- Interface options now also supports full localization.
- Rewritten the zone-switching code - The main quest listings should now auto-follow your player location even if you are not enUS\enGB locale!
- Lots of other small fixes.
There have been some big code changes this version, so if something is broken and I have missed it please notify me ASAP.
Version 0.99.6 – Beta Preperation Update
After a bit of a coding break I'm now working behind the scenes to try and prepare the addon for MoP and the Beta. I'm releasing this version so that you guys can at least get access to the new search feature (And please report any bugs you find with it). If you find any major problems with this version please post a comment ASAP - due to my break I've probably forgot to do something important before uploading!
- In this version you will likely see some green "!" icons for seasonal quests which are showing even though the seasonal event has finished (Mainly the Winter Veil ones). This is being worked on and should be fixed soon.
- I am currently gathering together all the data you guys have been sending over the last couple of months, so don't panic if you have sent updates through but do not see them within this version yet - I've had so many files sent that it is totally about 1.7 Million lines of text! It is going to take me a while to filter through these and get them merged. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I will have an update out with this new data included.
As soon as I get an beta invite I will then be starting work on gathering quest data and mapping data for MoP as well, with the aim to have the vast majority of quests from MoP ready for the official launch. If you manage to get into the Beta, your data will be very welcome!
Version 0.99.5 – Mapping Assistants Wanted!
Fixes the "!" map icons that patch 4.3 had broken.
Version 0.99.4 – Mapping Assistants Wanted!
- Approx 3400 quests now converted to the new mapping system.
- Should fix the problem with 0.99.3 where people could only see some of the map icons.
If you are interested in helping out by becoming a Mapping Assistant, then please pop me an email to [email protected] and we can have a chat about it. Please bear in mind that the following will be massively helpful:
- At least some basic knowledge of LUA.
- Experience using SVN (Its very simple if not).
- Fairly obsessive about attention to detail.
- A good knowledge of the majority of quests within WoW, both old and new.
- Can communicate with me and\or other Assistants regularly so that we know what everyone is doing.
Version 0.99.3 – Mapping Assistants Wanted!
I'm now sitting at approximately 3000 quests converted to the new mapping system – however, I am looking to find a couple of assistants in order to help me get the guts of the database up to scratch before I start getting things prepared for the Mists of Pandoria beta (Whenever that's going to be). If you're interested keep reading to find out more. This will also free me up some time to get some of the more requested features on the way to being implemented.
During the last update I had to remove the TomTom support due to the new database layout, however much more robust TomTom Support now returns for quests which have been converted! (Which is another reason I want to find a couple of assistants). A tell-tale sign of a quest which has already been converted is when you hover over the quest in the main quest list, and you see green text detailing the locations of the NPC(s) which supply the quest. If you see this, then you can click the quest to notify TomTom you want to navigate there. This now also works when there are multiple starter NPCs – QC will map all of them, and then instruct TomTom you want to default to the closest one based on your location. Depending on how the look for Assistants goes, I may look at a possible way to at least return basic TomTom support to the quests which are not yet converted.
Thank you to all the people that continue to send me data. I have improved my merge code considerably, and each time I run a merge I can see that the database is getting more and more accurate. Keep it coming.

Version 0.99.2 - Seasonal Updates & Better Map Tooltips
A few more updates in this version. Nearly 30% of the quest database converted into the new mapping system.
One of the big improvements this version is the map tooltips. If there are icons very close together, when you hover over them, the addon will add multiple NPC's and their quests into a single tooltip where applicable. PLEASE NOTE THIS ONLY WORKS FOR QUESTS WHICH HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO THE NEW MAP SYSTEM.
- New and improved interface options layout. Filters are now separated into Map filters, Quest List filters, and Combined filters.
- Have added Brewfest quests to the database.
- QC now supports filtering seasonal quests so that they only show on the map if they are currently active. So far this only applies to Harvest Festival and Brewfest - because this feature is only supported when the quests are converted into the new mapping system. Seasonal quests which still rely on the older mapping system will still show at all times (This will be fixed as the seasonal events come around again).
- Seasonal quests will show on the map as Green "!" icons.
- Additional performance improvements.
- Other things I can't remember.
How to Contribute
The add-on will record details each time you Accept a quest, including: Quest giver, your current zone, your current coordinates, quest name, quest category (As it appears in the quest log), and your faction\race\class, etc.
This information will be stored in the QuestCompletist Saved Variables file located: <World of Warcraft Folder>\WTF\Account\<ACCOUNT NAME>\SavedVariables\QuestCompletist.lua
Please email me your Saved Variables files to: viduus.wow@[email protected].
As you continue to quest through the game the add-on will continue to log this information, so even after you have sent me the file once, if you complete more quests after that, please feel free to send me an updated copy!
Thank you
- Lists all quests for each zone.
- Provides at-a-glance quest feedback, which other similar quest trackers do not. For example a yellow "!" for uncompleted quests, a blue "!" or "?" for Daily and Repeatable quests and so on. This helps prevent confusion, as blizzard never concider Repeatables or Dailys "completed". It also flags special quests as orange, for example the collectors edition quests, or quests which can no longer be done.
- Automatically switches zones as you travel around the world.
- Allows you to view or hide quests for the opposing force, or for other classes.
- Quest tooltips when hovering over them on the QC list.
- Quest icons will appear on the world map for quest you have not yet completed.
- Functionality to display what quests are "In Progress" when browsing the quest lists. If a quest is in progress (i.e In your quest log), then you will see either a grey "?" or a yellow "?", reflecting if the quest is "in progress but not complete" or "in progress and ready to hand in".
- Supports server query.
Features For The Future
- Adding indentation to quests to show they are part of a chain.
- Possibility of segmenting the database into several load on demand sub-addons. I will concider depending on feedback about memory usage.
Any feedback would be great.
- Viduus, Frostmane EU.
I'm still not completely finished with this version yet - I still have to add some missing menu options, merge alot more data, and possibly add some daily\repeatable filters.
I am releasing it now because I think I have sorted out the server query issue (Well it works for me anyways), and figured people wanted that ASAP. Let me know of any weirdness happening.

I also have quests showing that shouldn't. I have tried a complete clean install and there are still some that show, even though they have been done. These are usually noob area quests, but there are a few in almost every zone that show, even though completed. Even after a purge and new server query. -

In the feature list you say "Quest icons will appear on the world map for quest you have not yet completed." Yet it seems my map is showing ALL quests, completed or not, on the map, no matter which options I activate.
Also, Silverpine forest shows no icons at all.
I guess this is something that's 'in progress', but just in case I thought I'd let you know. -

Manu wishes Finley luck
After the Spurs announced today they have waived Michael Finely, Manu Ginobili said the following about his former teammate.
Class act Manu!
no commentsSpurs Release Finley
According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the Spurs have released guard Michael Finley.
Just filed to ESPN.com: Spurs agree to release former All-Star and Stein Line fave Michael Finley so Fin can sign elsewhere before playoffs
With Finley's departure, this opens the door for Malik Hairston to perhaps get more minutes on the court. Plus, Finley has not had much time on the court since coming back from injury. Basically, he fell out of the rotation. Not to mention this move cut more salary off the Spurs book.
Stay with Project Spurs for all the latest on this move by the Spurs.
The Spurs have officially announced they have waived Finley.
Today, to honor Michael Finley's request to be released from his contract, the San Antonio Spurs waived the veteran guard. This move will allow Finley to sign with another team and be eligible to participate in the 2010 NBA Playoffs.
"Michael Finley was an outstanding professional during his time with the Spurs," said Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich. "Both on and off the court he was great example for all to follow."
Spurs vs. Suns Recap
After losing to the Houston Rockets, the Spurs came back to San Antonio to take on the Phoenix Suns. And in typical Spurs vs. Suns games, it came down to the final minutes.
The Suns came into this game on a 5-game winning streak and brought their high-scoring offense to San Antonio.
Let's fast-forward to the fourth quarter.
It was a close game in the waning moments of the game and the Spurs were up by two points. Then, off a Spurs turnover, the Suns' Jason Richardson had a chance to tie the game.
He had an uncontested dunk when this happened.
Also, Steve Nash passed up a wide open three-point shot opportunity to tie the game but instead, he passed the ball to Suns' Channing Frye as the clock expired.
Suns lose to the Spurs. Final score 113-110, Spurs win.
Spurs fans can add this to the list of Suns failures against the Spurs along with Suns players coming off the bench in the Spurs vs. Suns playoff series when Robert Horry and Steve Nash got tangled up thus gaining suspensions for the next game, leaving Roger Mason wide open for a buzzer-beating three, never understanding defense wins championships, Nash passing up a three-point shot in today's game, and the constant playoff dismissals by the Spurs.
Now for some stats:
- Richard Jefferson came off the bench for 20 points. Spurs are 6-0 when RJ scores 20 or more points. Hopefully Spurs fans will see more of this to end the season.
- Tim Duncan had 21 points and 10 rebounds.
- Antonio McDyess left the game with an injury scare, hyper-extending his left knee, but did come back into the game finishing with 12 points and nine rebounds.
- Tony Parker returned after dealing with stomach ailments, scoring 16 points.
- Spurs bench scored 55 points, led by Manu Ginobili's 21 points and DeJuan Blair with 14 points.
- Spurs shot 4-14 (28.6%) from the three-point line, 23-28 (82%) from the free-throw line, committed 11 turnovers, and grabbed 41 rebounds.
- The Spurs beat an above .500 team and move their record to 33-24. They remain seventh in the Western Conference.
Manu Straight To The Point
Last night the Spurs did not play a full four quarters of basketball and lost to the Houston Rockets. From the tip-off until late in the fourth quarter, the Spurs were just getting out-worked in every facet of the game. Poor shooting, lack of defense, and turnovers doomed the Spurs.
Though they did make a comeback in the fourth, it was too late. Final score from Houston was Rockets 109, Spurs 104.
After the game, Manu Ginobili said this on Twitter. Let's just say he was straight to the point about the Spurs performance. He pretty much summed up most of the Spurs season.

Spurs vs. Rockets Recap
After beating the Oklahoma City Thunder to snap a two-game losing streak, the San Antonio Spurs went back on the road to take on the Houston Rockets.
The first quarter was forgettable as was much of the entire game. The Spurs came out flat, could not make a shot and had porous defense allowing the Rockets to score 31 points while the Spurs barely scored 14 after the first quarter. It only got worse for the Spurs if you can believe it.
However, through the power of Twitter, I shall give you the scores from the second and third quarters and give you the final from Houston.
I do give the Spurs credit for fighting back in the game late in the fourth quarter, thanks in large part to the bench, but overall this game was painful for Spurs fans. How painful was it? Check out these stats:
- At the end of the first half, the Spurs shot 35%.
- Tim Duncan had 17 points at halftime. The other Spurs starters had three points.
- Largest lead for the Rockets was 23 points.
- Rockets' Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, and Aaron Brooks all scored over 30 points.
- The Spurs did cut the lead to three points late in the fourth quarter on a 10-0 run but it was too little too late.
- Antonio McDyess, Keith Bogans, and Michael Finley went scoreless. All started the game for the Spurs.
Parker Doubtful For Tonight
Ankle injuries, plantar fasciitis, hip injury now add food poisoning to the list of Tony Parker's health issues this season.
Parker is dealing with food poisoning and may be out of tonight's game against the Houston Rockets.
Tony Parker, the Spurs' starting point guard, missed the team's morning shootaround at Toyota Center with a stomach ailment that coach Gregg Popovich said resulted from food poisoning.
Parker's availability for tonight's game against the Rockets won't be determined until shortly before tipoff.
You know what else causes stomach ailments? Parker's rap video.
How the Mighty Keep Falling: Robertson in Trouble Again
According to James Munoz of KENS 5 in San Antonio, former Spurs great Alvin Robertson is wanted in a probe of a child sex trafficking ring.
A former San Antonio Spurs player is wanted on charges of sexual performance of a child, trafficking of persons under 18 for prostitution and sexual assault of a child.
Alvin Robertson is wanted and has not been arrested. He is one of seven people allegedly involved in a child sex trafficking ring.
This isn't the first time Robertson, who is one of only four NBA players to ever record a quadruple-double, has been in trouble with the law.
He's had multiple charges including assault bodily injury, evading and resisting arrest, criminal mischief, burglary, violating a protective order and the list goes on and on.
Robertson had a great NBA career with the Spurs, Bucks Pistons and Raptors, averaging 14 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game. On top of that, he was a two-time Olympic gold medal-winner and held the NBA steals record until recently, but that seems all for naught as Robertson's criminal record casts a shadow over his illustrious basketball career.

A Nicollet County judge has agreed to consider a third request to have three children removed from a North Mankato house where a fourth child was allegedly being deprived of food.
District Court Judge Todd Westphal heard motion Tuesday by Nicollet County Attorney Michelle Zehnder Fischer to have three children removed from the home of Russell and Mona Hauer, both age 44. The Hauers were charged earlier this month with felony neglect, child endangerment and malicious punishment of a child for allegedly abusing an 8-year-old boy who has already been removed from their house just north of North Mankato on Highway 169.
The boy has been gaining weight and growing rapidly since he was removed from the house and placed on a regular diet, Fischer said.
Fischer has also started the civil court process to have the Hauers' parental rights terminated permanently.
The boy weighed less than 35 pounds when Mona Hauer brought him to a doctor in Mankato on Oct. 9. She told a doctor she was concerned because he was ruminating his food and she thought he had spit up blood. Investigators later learned the Hauers had not been allowing the malnourished boy to eat beyond a liquid diet, reaching a point where they would sleep outside of his bedroom to make sure he didn't get up at night to eat, according to the criminal complaint. Other allegations are that the boy was required to sleep in a plastic sled in the basement, cleaned outside with a garden hose and hit with a broom handle.
After Tuesday's hearing Jason Kohlmeyer, the Hauers' attorney, denied that the boy was ever physically abused and said the malnourishment was a result of mental illness and trauma due, in part, to fetal alcohol syndrome.
Fischer said she wants the Hauers' remaining three children, a girl and two boys between the ages 7 and 10, removed from the house now because she is concerned they have been emotionally abused by watching and participating in the alleged abuse of the fourth child. The oldest child is the Hauers' biological child and the other three children, including the boy who has been removed as a result of the charges, are adopted siblings.
Westphal said he would consider the motion along with new medical and witness information before issuing a ruling. He twice denied similar motions. One of those motions was made when a child in protective services case was filed for the boy taken out of the home. Another was in the form of an emergency motion Fischer made during a conference call.
The new information includes medical records that show there was no medical reason for the boy to be malnourished. He was treated in a hospital for more than a month and has since gained about 15 pounds and grown more than an inch. When he was taken out of the house he had the average weight and height of a four year old boy. He has also stopped ruminating and hiding food because he is no longer concerned that he won't be fed the next day, Fischer told Westphal.
In some ways what was done to the child is worse than severe physical abuse that results from anger and a momentary lapse in judgment, Fischer said. And, if the child had been severely physically abused, the other children would have been removed from the house quickly.
"This is intentional behavior and not a loss of temper," Fischer said. "This is deliberate and systematic behavior by these parents."
After the hearing Kohlmeyer said the Hauers admit they made mistakes, which started with a decision to not get psychological care for the boy that was recommended by a doctor when he was adopted about five years ago. They didn't understand until know how severe the boy's problems were.
"I think if we could take this child and put him back in the house with the counseling and change in diet, he would thrive," Kohlmeyer said.
Fischer also said she was concerned about telephone conversations the Hauers have had with the boy while he has been living with another foster family. Even though Westphal has ordered them to not talk about the case with him, their foster mother reported the boy's parents asked him to pray for the judge, pray for the trial and pray to end the nightmare.
Kohlmeyer said the Hauers are a religious family that attends Bethel Baptist Church in Mankato. It isn't uncommon for them to pray, so they weren't attempting to influence the child.
Fischer also gave Westphal emails Nicollet County social services employees received from a former foster parent who voiced concerns for the children.
More than 40 people, many of them from Bethel Baptist Church, packed into the courtroom Tuesday. A few had to stand during the hearing, which lasted more than an hour.
Many had written letters to Westphal supporting the Hauers. Some had reported that they didn't realize there were any problems with the malnourished boy until the charges were filed.
Fischer also made several other motions Tuesday, including a request for a court order to allow the 8-year-old boy to attend a public school in the city where he is living now. The Hauers' children are home schooled, so Kohlmeyer argued against the motion. He said Mona Hauer would be willing to travel to the boy's new foster home three days per week to teach him.
"They would prefer to have all the kids together," Kohlmeyer said. "The other children haven't seen their brother in awhile."
Kohlmeyer did not object to Fischer's motions to have all of the children receive counseling or to have medical records for the boy released. So Westphal granted those motions during the hearing.
There was some disagreement about whether the criminal trial or the termination of parental rights trial should start first. State law allows Fischer to decide and she said she wanted to move forward with the parental rights trial first. Westphal set a Jan. 7 start date for that trial.
However, Kohlmeyer said a motion has been filed to have a speedy trial in the criminal case. The Hauers are not scheduled to make their first appearance for that case until Dec. 11, but Kohlmeyer said they have asked the judge handling that case, Alison Krehbiel, to move that date forward.
Even if the criminal case starts sooner, there will likely be motion hearings that will move a trial date out to February or later even if a speedy trial is requested, Fischer said.

The Sudanese embassy in Washington has stated that the country will abide by UN Security Council resolution 1564 threatening sanctions on Sudan's vital oil industry unless security is restored to the Darfur region, "even though [the resolution] was unfair and unjust to the Sudan," according to the independent Al-Sahafa newspaper. Sudan also claims that any sanctions would only worsen the situation. Meanwhile, Algeria and China have issued explanations of their abstentions from Saturday's UN vote, and Ibrahim Ahmed al-Taher, speaker of the Sudanese parliament, today warned the West that any intervention in his country would risk opening the "gates of hell". AFP has more. See continuing coverage of the Sudan crisis on JURIST's Paper Chase here.
Japan and Mexico have signed a bilateral free-trade agreement. The deal, set to take effect in April, is expected to put Japanese industries on equal footing with their US and European counterparts serving Mexico, saving Japan up to 400 billion yen a year and increasing its penetration into the Mexican market. The agreement was strongly opposed by Japanese farmers, who will now have to compete with low-priced Mexican agricultural products. Over the next decade, Mexico will phase out tariffs on all types of Japanese steel products and create duty-free import quotas for Japanese automobiles. The Japan Times has more. For background information on Japan-Mexico relations and the FTA negotiations, see Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website here.UPDATE: The agreement is now online here [PDF], with the associated implementation agreement here [PDF], from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Iran voiced strong opposition Sunday to demands made by the International Atomic Energy Agency that the country cease all work on developing technology to enrich uranium. Read the resolution here [PDF]. The IAEA, serving as a watchdog for the UN Security Council, has been closely monitoring Iran's development of nuclear technology.

Only Natural Organic Cranberry Concentrate -- 32 fl oz
Great taste
I am really happy I tried this product. It is by far the best tasting cranberry concentrate I've tried.

The best cran concentrate
There is no sugar in this..... Ive been drinking every kind of cran concentrate for years. This one is the best tasting by far. And it is the best value.

Don't like the taste
I tried several times with different amount of water, but I can not swallow it. It has a lot of carbs and sugar on it. I do not believe that this is just plain cranberry juice. I do not recommend it.

sweet tasting
Though the ingredient label says no sugar added there must be a sweetener in there, because the concentrate without that is bitter and acidic, while this is sweet and mild. Also, at 200 calories per ounce there must be something more than cranberries in this.
