Olympic squat - back squat
The squat is foundational to the Olympic lifts as a position, a movement and a strength exercise. Without a well-developed and consistent squat, neither pulling technique nor pulling power will produce entirely successful Olympic weightlifting. The great natural physical variation among athletes dictates that there will never be a universally perfect prescription for body positioning, but irrespective of this variation, the fundamental principles remain consistent. Continued reliance on them will ensure that modifications from the strict prescription are rational and sound instead of haphazard and likely improper.
Because the squat, more so than any other element of the lifts, will be affected by temporary impediments such as limited flexibility, a greater deal of modification will be necessary and allowable during an athlete's advancement. However, even in the cases of lifters for whom the strictest positioning prescription is initially impossible, this prescription will remain the ultimate goal, and continued efforts toward that end should be made.
Be cautious of defying the underlying principles with the excuse of individual variation—often this is inappropriately cited when the actual cause of an athlete's inability to adhere to these prescriptions is entirely correctable over time, such as flexibility-related limitations or simply stubborn habits. It's necessary to critically evaluate each athlete individually to make accurate determinations—avoid allowing an athlete to continue poor habits due simply to laziness or frustration with slow progress and, more importantly, increase the risk of injury.
The depth of an Olympic squat should not even be a topic of discussion, but because there has been and continues to be discussion among coaches and athletes in sports outside of weightlifting, it warrants at least clarification: proper depth is full depth; full depth means full depth. That is, full depth is not parallel, nor is it breaking parallel—it is squatting to the lowest position possible without surgical alteration of body parts while maintaining correct posture. To simplify, we want to close the knee joint maximally while maintaining upright posture and a correctly arched back.
Depth is measured by the position of the hips, and the depth of the hips is governed by the position of the knees, the degree of dorsiflexion of the ankles, the absolute and relative lengths of the upper and lower leg, the horizontal position of the hips relative to the feet, the width and degree of external rotation of the feet, and the mass of the upper and lower legs. These factors are largely interdependent, and a change in one will typically effect change in others.
If the knees are prevented from moving forward over the feet, as is taught by many coaches and trainers, the hips must travel farther back behind the feet. With the hips behind the athlete's base, the torso must be inclined forward to a greater degree in order for the athlete's center of mass to remain balanced over the feet. If the hips are lowered from this position, flexibility will restrict the spine's ability to remain correctly arched, forcing the athlete to curl forward, again to remain balanced. For what should be fairly obvious reasons, neither of these positions will allow the safe and effective support of a barbell in the positions it must be received in the snatch and clean. (Note that shorter athletes will typically be able to achieve a proper squat depth and position without the knees passing forward of the toes significantly if at all.)
Inadequate ankle flexibility can also result in the knees remaining too far back—if the ankles are unable to dorsiflex to a great enough degree, the lower leg cannot reach an angle sufficient to bring the knees into a position that allows the hips to reach their intended placement. This is the reason for the lifted heel of weightlifting shoes—elevation of the heel effectively increases the ankles' range of motion.
Femur length will affect the depth of each athlete's squat simply by dictating how far away from the knees the hips will be. Athletes with great ankle flexibility and long femurs will typically be capable of extraordinarily deep squat positions, while their shorter-femured counterparts will appear higher even when at their maximal depth. For some athletes, femur length will exceed what can be compensated for through ankle flexibility in the basic squat position, and adjustments will need to be made to allow a better bottom position.
For individuals with largely muscled legs and who are capable of very upright torso positions in the bottom of the squat, the hips may not be particularly low relative to the knees even when the knees are closed completely.
The Basic Squat Position
As the base from which all movement and positioning originates, the placement of the feet will dramatically influence the squat. The width of the stance and degree of external rotation will affect the movement and position of the hips and back, and will often be the deciding factor in whether a squat is successful or failed, mechanically sound or injurious. Individual variation notwithstanding, the feet must be positioned in a manner that allows and encourages proper biomechanics of the legs, hips and back, while allowing the greatest possible range of motion and supporting the unique positional and movement characteristics of the Olympic lifts.
Anthropometrics—in particular relative leg segment lengths—and hip anatomy will dictate appropriate width and rotation of the feet. Flexibility limitations and similar impediments may prevent an athlete from immediately achieving this ultimately proper positioning, but again, these are temporary obstacles that should be corrected.
The starting foot placement will be slightly outside hip-width at the heels with the toes turned out comfortably—generally between approximately 20-35 degrees from center. With the athlete sitting at the bottom of the squat in this basic position, adjustments can be quickly made according to leg segment and trunk lengths, hip anatomy, and ankle and knee alignment to place him or her in the proper position.
From here, there are two basic criteria with which we're concerned: When viewed from directly above, the foot and thigh are approximately parallel with each other; when viewed from the front of the toe, the foot is approximately underneath the knee. The hips should sit in between the heels somewhat; in other words, the heel will not be directly under the thigh, but slightly outside of its centerline. This positioning will keep the knees and ankles aligned well, but will also allow for slightly improved depth, and, more importantly, a more absorptive bottom position—that is, the final position will be structurally sound without having an abrupt and jarring stop.
With these relationships established—assuming the hips are at full possible depth—the remaining positional relationships will be unavoidably correct. This allows for a wide range of potential external rotation—athletes will in general naturally find what is most comfortable for them. That said, some athletes will need to be told explicitly to spread the knees farther than they wish; occasionally athletes will prefer a stance that prevents the hips from reaching adequate depth between the thighs due to the structures of the upper thighs being pushed into the forward edges of the pelvis. If the athlete is unable to achieve adequate depth and back extension, particularly if he or she is also feeling pressure near the front of the hips, a more externally rotated stance is more than likely needed.
What this positioning achieves is simple but important—biomechanically sound alignment of the involved joints and muscles, optimizing performance and reducing the risk of injury.
These relationships of the feet and leg segments should be maintained for the duration of the movement—in other words, the knees should follow the line described by the angle of the feet as the athlete descends and recovers. For many athletes, this will, at least initially, require they consciously make an effort to push the knees out to the sides as the tendency will be for the knees to collapse inward.
From this basic position, there will be a degree of adjustment possible without considerable violation of these relationships. That is, once in this starting position, the athlete will find he or she can move the feet in and out and turn the toes in and out slightly and continue to meet the criteria fairly well. This small range will allow some latitude for personal preference, and the lifter is encouraged to experiment within this range until the most comfortable position is found. Typically athletes will feel more comfortable with the feet slightly wider.
The effect of hip width on foot placement should be self-explanatory—this is the origin of the legs and consequently the starting point for the stance. Relative leg segment length affects how far back the foot travels relative to the thigh as the knee flexes. The longer the lower leg is relative to the upper leg, the farther toward the hip the foot will be when the knee is closed—this means that the longer the lower leg is relative to the upper leg, the closer the feet will be in a sound squat position. In other words, the overall length of the legs is not enough to determine squat stance—how that length is created is what matters.
The foot position should be identical for all squat variations—back squat, front squat, overhead squat—and all receiving positions except the split in the jerk—snatch, clean, power snatch, power clean, power jerk, squat jerk. Many athletes will assume different foot positions for each type of squat—this is an indicator that the athlete has not learned and developed a correct squat position, and is likely in need of improved flexibility.

The drop from Class AAA to Class AA by five schools in North Central West Virginia will have a dramatic effect on the State Tournament field. That traditional middle-class powers such as Ravenswood (2-7), Keyser (1-6) and Weir (0-10) are struggling this year will further change the complexion, as will the drop to Class A by defending state champion Tug Valley (7-1) and Magnolia (8-2).
Bluefield's 7-1 mark and a 75-56 road win last week over No. 4 Wyoming East (7-2) have earned the Beavers the No. 1 ranking in Class AA, but the team's experience - junior Anthony Eades and senior David Woodrum were keys to the Beavers' runner-up finish in 2012 - make them the favorite.
Robert C. Byrd Coach Bill Bennett has perhaps the best team of the bunch that made the drop from Class AAA, and Bennett - to his credit - is one who likes to challenge his program regularly. The Eagles (8-2) will make the trip to Beckley later this month to take part in the Big Atlantic Classic with Bluefield, Wyoming East and Westside (6-4).
The Eagles and Warriors face each other Jan. 29.
Here's how the Class AA field could look in March at the Charleston Civic Center:
First round exits - North Marion, Bridgeport, Tolsia, Poca
Semifinals - Bluefield over Fairmont Senior, Robert C. Byrd over Wyoming East
Champion - Bluefield
Class A
Charleston Catholic Coach Bill McClanahan has reason and right to be concerned about the progress - or lack thereof - of his top-ranked team through eight games. After all, in order to successfully defend their state title from 2012, the Irish have to navigate a field that also includes the Class AA champ from a year ago, Tug Valley.
The Panthers have 6-1 senior point guard Austin Brewer and 5-11 senior shooting guard Mikey Newsome, likely giving them the most dangerous backcourt in the state, and one that would challenge for that moniker among Class AA duos. Tug's only loss this season came in an 80-76 heartbreaker at Belfry, Ky. (7-4), a school that would be a mid-level Class AA school in West Virginia.
Magnolia is led by 6-6 senior center Mark Winters, who has averaged close to 30 points per game.
However, while the Blue Eagles have lopsided victories to their credit over Nitro, Logan and Dayton (Ohio) Chaminade, they also fell by 18 to Clay-Battelle when senior defensive specialist Stephen Rogalski was out of the lineup.
Here's how the Class A State Tournament should shake out:
First round exits - Moorefield, Greater Beckley Christian, St. Marys, Tucker County
Semifinals - Tug Valley over Parkersburg Catholic, Magnolia over Charleston Catholic
Champion - Tug Valley
With two months left of the season, there's plenty of time to get absorbed with basketball. Thanks to the combination of the 100th anniversary celebration planned at the Civic Center for March and the shakeup within classes thanks to the comings and goings of perennial powers, March should be worth waiting for.

Associated Press
TULSA (AP) – Two brothers arrested in a quadruple killing in Tulsa lived in the same run-down apartment complex as the four women who were found shot to death in early January, police said Wednesday.
Police arrested Cedric Poore, 39, and James Poore, 32, on suspicion of murder but did not disclose a motive for the killings. The brothers lived at the Fairmont Terrace apartment complex, where twin sisters Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 23; Misty Nunley, 33; and Julie Jackson, 55, were discovered dead Jan. 7, police said.
The killings, which investigators believe happened during daylight, brought attention to a troubled neighborhood in south Tulsa and raised concerns about whether residents were afraid to call in crime tips. City leaders formed a public safety group to study the issue.
Investigators have refused to explain how the women knew each other or how they knew the Poore brothers. A preliminary medical examiner's report indicated all four women died of gunshot wounds to the head.
A 3-year-old boy was found unharmed in the apartment and was taken into protective custody.
Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan said at a news conference Wednesday that the men would be formally charged after he presents the case file to prosecutors, hopefully by the end of the week. Jail records showed no lawyers listed for the men.
"These were horrific and tragic homicides," said Jordan, who refused to answer a question as to the brothers' possible motives for targeting the four women. "It's been a very long and very strenuous investigation."
In a statement late Wednesday, Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett said he was confident in Jordan and the Police Department. "I knew they would bring in those involved with this hideous quadruple murder in very short order," Bartlett said.
Misty Nunley's mother, Cheryl Nunley, wept aloud after she learned police had the suspects in custody. Wednesday would have been Misty Nunley's 34th birthday.
"I've been praying I'd get good news, and this probably is the best news I could have gotten," Cheryl Nunley told The Associated Press late Wednesday. "It's just been so hard with her not here today. But knowing that they caught these men is a tremendous load off my mind."
Nunley previously has said that her daughter had befriended Powell and had been staying with her off and on for about a week. She said her daughter had lost touch with her family but was trying to get her life back together.

MEN'S BASKETBALL | No. 5 Cards Seek New Start at Verizon
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013
Updated: Sunday, January 27, 2013 03:01
In a conference schedule full of landmines, Georgetown (13-4, 3-3 Big East) will face its toughest test to date when it plays host to No. 5 Louisville (16-3, 4-2 Big East) Saturday at Verizon Center.
Despite their lofty rank, the Cardinals have dropped their last two games, including a disappointing road loss to unranked Villanova on Tuesday. Georgetown, on the other hand, rebounded from a difficult defeat at South Florida to win at No. 24 Notre Dame Monday evening.
"We didn't have a good day at South Florida and we had a very good day at Notre Dame," Thompson III said. "I thought our defense was very, very good [against Notre Dame]. They did an outstanding job helping and covering each other."
Since joining the Big East in the 2005-06 season, Louisville has secured a winning record against every conference team except Georgetown. The Hoyas secured a narrow 71-68 win last season over a Cardinals squad that reached the Final Four.
Although he has won three in a row against Louisville, Head Coach John Thompson III could not cite a specific factor that explains Georgetown's recent run of success in the matchup.
"I don't think we have a magic formula for them," Thompson III said. "We've gotten some lucky bounces, and I think that's about it."
Senior guard Russ Smith has led Louisville in points this season, playing alongside point guard and preseason Big East player of the year Peyton Siva in a potent backcourt. Couple that with Head Coach Rick Pitino's signature pressing defense, and Georgetown is sure to have a lot on its hands.
"We just have to play. We can't control the fact that they have lost two in a row," Thompson III said. "Their guards are terrific. Their wings are terrific. They pose a lot of problems."
Smith, nicknamed "Russdiculous" by Pitino and the Louisville faithful, has displayed a frequent explosiveness offensively but was relatively quiet in the Cardinals' loss to Villanova.
"He's too good. I don't think there was a question of what someone was doing to him [when he struggled]," Thompson III said. "Kids have bad nights, and even with him not having a great night, he still puts pressure on you and still makes you react. [For] some guys [when they] are having a bad night you don't have to worry about them. You still have to keep attention on [Smith]."
The Cardinals also boast a strong frontcourt, with junior center Gorgui Dieng a proven shot-swatter and sophomore forwards Chane Behanan and Wayne Blackshear both serving as scoring and rebounding threats.
"[Dieng] is much improved and much more of a factor. He's making more of the midrange shots," Thompson III said.
With sophomore forward Greg Whittington still suspended, the Hoyas will have to be more aggressive on the boards, something his classmate Otto Porter Jr. acknowledged.
"Even the guards have to get in there and rebound with the bigs," Porter Jr. said. "We have to do a better job of that."
In addition to rebounding, Georgetown's diluted frontcourt has been hamstrung by foul trouble. In particular, junior center Mikael Hopkins played only 15 minutes and junior forward Nate Lubick just 20 against Notre Dame, as each was limited by early fouls.
"I'm always concerned about foul trouble, but if they get in trouble, we've got guys who can step up," Thompson III said.
The Blue and Gray may also have to make use of substitutions for the simple reason that the Cardinals' pressure frequently exhausts their opponents and becomes a factor in late-game situations. Still, the forecast for Georgetown has brightened with the emergence of junior center Moses Ayegba, who had 10 rebounds at Notre Dame.
Tip-off against Louisville is scheduled for noon Saturday at Verizon Center. The game will also be televised on ESPN.

Apr 01
For you and me, a big burbot is likely more hassle than fun, but to my son, Pierce, catching an 8-pound 'pout the other day was a lifetime highlight.
Maybe Pierce understands things better than the two of us.
A little over ten years ago I sat in the nursery of a local hospital holding a little dude wrapped in blue and featuring tiny ears and neck pads. I knew little of Down Syndrome back then, so my questions where broad and scattered. Will he be healthy? How is Karen going to react to the news? Will he ever talk? Fish? Play baseball?
In the years since, most of my questions were answered, and then some. I also realized that Pierce was the teacher, not me. He taught me to celebrate the little things, like catching an eelpout or that a wriggling minnow in your hand does tickle.
I also learned much about sharing the sport that I love, especially those that lack patience ... like Pierce. I've found it makes sense to invest in quality tackle when buying gear for kids as it performs better, lasts longer and makes the overall experience better for everyone.
I also learned that catching fish was not the most important goal of the trip—having fun is. Pierce finds more joy in learning how to cast ("Like Dad") than having me hand him a bucking rod. I also learned that numerous short trips are better than one long one—and snacks are important.
Great information, but as we left for Minnesota's Lake of the Woods last week to fish with my good friend Scott Boos and his wife Vickie, I secretly wondered if Pierce could handle two full days on the ice.
Scott runs one of the best guide services (nwaguideservice.com) on Lake of the Woods, specializing in multi-species trips summer or winter, so I figured if Pierce got bored catching walleyes we could target giant crappie, pike, lake trout, or even whitefish.
The big 'pout hit a spoon while we were catching crappie and was so heavy he couldn't lift the rod tip. I assumed at the time he had hooked a big walleye because we had already landed several that morning, but the headshakes looked wrong. When the big pout's head appeared in the hole I laughed as Pierce welcomed it with an emphatic "Ewwww" and wouldn't go near it for the next half hour. But on the trip home he shared with everyone the story of his big 'pout and I realized then, maybe I should treasure more things than I actually do.—Steve

Newark police officer and bank employee arrested, charged with conspiring to commit bank fraud for $1.9 million loan
February 24, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A Newark police officer and a Spencer Savings Bank employee were arrested this morning for allegedly conspiring to commit bank fraud in order to secure a $1.9 million commercial real estate loan, United States Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Victor Patela, 35, and Jose Dominguez, a/k/a Joseph Dominguez, 44, both of Newark, are each charged by Complaint with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. The defendants allegedly defrauded Spencer Savings Bank in Elmwood Park, N.J., for the purpose of securing the loan.
Patela and Dominguez were arrested this morning in Newark by FBI agents and are expected to appear before United States Magistrate Judge Michael A. Shipp this afternoon in Newark federal court.
According to the criminal Complaint:
Patela, a Newark police officer and member and owner of JVI Realty, LLC ("JVI"), applied for a $1.9 million commercial real estate mortgage loan on behalf of JVI with Spencer Savings Bank, SLA, in an application dated September 14, 2003. Dominguez was an employee of Spencer Savings and served as the loan officer for JVI Realty's commercial loan.
The bank documented that Patela requested a commercial loan in the amount of $1,920,000 – for the purpose of purchasing apartment buildings owned by Santander Realty Group in Elizabeth, N.J. – for $2.4 million. Spencer Savings also provided that the loan amount constituted 80 percent of the purchase price and that Patela would need to provide the bank with sufficient evidence of the source of funds for the remaining $480,000. Dominguez recommended approval of the loan.
As part of the loan documents, Spencer Savings received a Contract for Sale of Real Estate as evidence of the source of funds. The real estate contract was fraudulent; Patela did not own the relevant, Newark property in October 2004 at the time that the contract purported it was sold. Review of the deed for the property revealed that Patela had sold the property more than a year earlier.
The Mortgage & Security Agreement JVI entered into with Spencer Savings prohibited Patela from encumbering or mortgaging the Elizabeth apartment buildings without the bank's written consent. However, JVI Realty, through Patela and Dominguez, subsequently secured a second mortgage on the Elizabeth apartment buildings – both defendants signing the second mortgage and mortgage note as corporate officers of JVI. Dominguez never disclosed his relationship with JVI Realty and Patela to Spencer Savings while serving as the loan officer for any of the related transactions.
Patela made his last payment on the $1,920,000 mortgage with Spencer Savings in November 2008, before causing JVI Realty to default on the loan. In February 2010, Patela turned over the deed to the Elizabeth apartment buildings to Spencer Savings in lieu of foreclosure. After Spencer Savings sold the Elizabeth buildings, the bank's loss amount totaled over $400,000.
In March 2009, Patela caused JVI Realty to file for bankruptcy in federal court. As part of the bankruptcy filing, Patela represented that he took out a second mortgage on the Elizabeth Properties in November 2004 in the amount of approximately $300,000.
The bank fraud conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison and a maximum fine of $1 million.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent In Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, with the investigation leading to the charges and today's arrests.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Zahid N. Quraishi, of the U.S. Attorney's Office Special Prosecutions Division in Newark.
The charges and allegations in the Complaint are merely accusations, and the defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Defense counsel:
Patela: Henry E. Klingeman Esq.; Anna G. Cominsky, Esq., Newark
Dominguez: Anthony J. Pope, Esq., Newark

I am so proud of myself. I signed my first dated document today with the correct year … I think that's a first for me. Not a first time to pen a year correctly, but rather, the first time I have signed the first date in January as the correct one, which is normally mistaken as the previous calendar year by my autopilot pen control system.
The good news is we survived yet another apocalypse. Hmm, what are we up to, about a thousand or so failed cataclysms since the dawn of time? I'm sure there are a few events predicted to bring about the end of humanity this year, and I'm even surer they'll pass without incident. We plug along with the status quo, and if it weren't for mass media, we'd be none-the-wiser these catastrophes were ever predicted.
I have a bold prediction, but just as you expect to be alive this time next year, my conjecture will be no more surprising. Okay, so let's call it a shy prediction. I see in my crystal ball the continued strength of fluid power in all or most of the applications currently adopting hydraulics. This industry is ripe, and even if we leave it on the vine in glorious sunlight until it falls off, it will not achieve much more fundamental advancement.
Hydraulics is not going away. There are competing industries whose dream, focus and intention is to see hydraulics rot like a tomato in the dirt; sorry boys, that's not going to happen! I am confident of this prediction for a couple solid reasons:
Let me elaborate on what hydraulics can do that other force transmissions systems cannot; power. Let me elaborate on my elaboration; other systems can be massively powerful, but hydraulic systems can be massively powerful within relatively miniscule spaces. No other system can create so much power in such small space, and because of this (or until something can match it), hydraulics will remain the number one choice for powerful, efficient, reliable and compact drive and control systems.

July 8, 2013
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced almost $1 million in new grants to help train veterans and military families for jobs in the transportation industry. The grants were awarded to six colleges across the country as part of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) grant program.
"The least we can do for the men and women who put their lives on the line for our country is to help ensure they can find good jobs when they leave the service," said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx. "The transportation industry provides a unique opportunity for military families and veterans to utilize skills they developed in the service, and we hope these grants will lead to more veterans joining the ranks of our country's commercial vehicle drivers."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics lists commercial trucking as a high-demand job, with more than 300,000 additional positions expected by 2020.
In May 2011, the FMCSA finalized its commercial learner's permit rule, which gives state driver licensing agencies the authority to waive the skills test portion of the commercial driver's license test if the applicant demonstrates two years of safe driving experience in military equivalents of commercial motor vehicles.

This is how our business started and as demand grew we moved out of London to our current site at Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire in the UK. Our US facility at Dubois was set up shortly after our US sales office was opened due to demand requiring local USA manufacture.
We have a range of hydraulic and mechanical presses rated from 4T to 200T together with injection molding presses capable of running both ferrite and rare earth compounds. Single part production rates range from a few hundred pieces per month to more than 2 million pieces per month. We pride ourselves on being able to offer all magnets materials and we will always consider the most cost competitive method of supply.
We have two supply partners in China with whom we have worked effectively for many years and make regular visits to ensure good lines of communication. All the sites used in China are well managed with good staff relations and exceptionally good working conditions. We are happy to have our customers visit. No matter the supply source we stamp our seal of quality on all products.
Whilst the core of our business is bespoke customer magnets and assemblies, we continue to develop new products for wider markets. These are intended to be off the shelf products allowing customers to purchase smaller quantities whilst attracting the cost advantage of mass production.
Many of these products are available through our e-commerce site, although if there is a specific requirement that cannot be met by our existing range, please contact us. Large volume requirements will always be dealt with on a separate basis.

Apple could face antitrust investigation in India
Apple could find itself the target of an antitrust probe in India after a complaint was lodged against it from an unnamed party, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The complaint specifically asks India's antitrust agency to investigate whether Apple broke India's Competition Act of 2002 in the rollout of the iPhone 4 by only making it available to certain carriers. Apple began selling the phone to Indian carrier outfits Bharti Airtel and Aircel on May 27.
Apple remains selective about what carriers it makes its devices available on, though the overall number continues to grow beyond 200 worldwide. … Read more

Frzb-1 Is a Secreted Antagonist of Wnt Signaling Expressed in the Spemann Organizer
Cell, Volume 88, Issue 6, 21 March 1997, Pages 747-756
Luc Leyns, Tewis Bouwmeester, Sung-Hyun Kim, Stefano Piccolo and Eddy M De Robertis
SummaryFrzb-1 is a secreted protein containing a domain similar to the putative Wnt-binding region of the frizzled family of transmembrane receptors. Frzb-1 is widely expressed in adult mammalian tissues. In the Xenopus gastrula, it is expressed and regulated as a typical Spemann organizer component. Injection of frzb-1 mRNA blocks expression of XMyoD mRNA and leads to embryos with enlarged heads and shortened trunks. Frzb-1 antagonizes the effects of Xwnt-8 ectopic expression in a non-cell-autonomous manner. Cultured cells transfected with a membrane-tethered form of Wnt-1 bind epitope-tagged Frzb-1 in the 10−10 M range. The results strengthen the view that the Spemann organizer is a source of secreted inhibitory factors.

Frzb, a Secreted Protein Expressed in the Spemann Organizer, Binds and Inhibits Wnt-8
Cell, Volume 88, Issue 6, 21 March 1997, Pages 757-766
Shouwen Wang, Marie Krinks, Keming Lin, Frank P Luyten and Malcolm Moos
SummaryWe isolated a Xenopus homolog of Frzb, a newly described protein containing an amino-terminal Frizzled motif. It dorsalized Xenopus embryos and was expressed in the Spemann organizer during early gastrulation. Unlike Frizzled proteins, endogenous Frzb was soluble. Frzb was secretable and could act across cell boundaries. In several functional assays, Frzb antagonized Xwnt-8, a proposed ventralizing factor with an expression pattern complementary to that of Frzb. Furthermore, Frzb blocked induction of MyoD, an action reported recently for a dominant-negative Xwnt-8. Frzb coimmunoprecipitated with Wnt proteins, providing direct biochemical evidence for Frzb-Wnt interactions. These observations implicate Frzb in axial patterning and support the concept that Frzb binds and inactivates Xwnt-8 during gastrulation, preventing inappropriate ventral signaling in developing dorsal tissues.

- The recent discovery that Frizzled proteins are receptors for Wnts has been quickly followed by the identification of a secreted protein, Frzb, that is related to Frizzled, expressed by the Spemann organizer in frog embryos and can bind to and antagonize Wnt developmental signalling molecules.

Re: Feline Follies
All of your cats are beautiful, guys! I'm so glad I started this thread. Yes, they are. I've had her for a few years, but I can never get used to those stunning blue eyes. Can you believe she's actually a found cat? She showed up one day in my back yard, emaciated and scared. She also looked like she had recently had kittens. Obviously someone had abandoned her. I tempted her with a little food and she's been with me ever since.

The application of quasispecies theory to viral populations has boosted our understanding of how endogenous and exogenous features condition their adaptation. Mounting empirical evidence demonstrates that internal interactions within mutant spectra may cause unexpected responses to antiviral treatments. In this scenario, increased mutagenesis could be efficient at low mutagen doses due to the lethal action of defective genomes, whereas sequential administration of antiviral drugs might be superior to combination therapies. Our ability to predict the outcome of a particular therapy takes advantage of the complementary use of in vivo observations, in vitro experiments, and mathematical models.


text: The 13 doctors, one dentist, nurses and paramedics who were jailed for providing treatment to injured protesters all worked at the Salmaniya Medical Complex in Manama, which was stormed by security forces in March after they drove protesters out of the nearby Pearl Square—the focal point of last year's protests. Among other terrorism charges, the 20 were accused of having possession of an AK-47, Molotov cocktails and other weapons for the purposes of ousting the ruling regime, confiscating medical equipment, spreading lies, inciting hatred against the regime and violating various other laws and regulations with an aim to disturb public security. A Bahrain civilian court in October began hearing the appeals [JURIST report] of the medics. They were granted the opportunity for retrial in civilian court earlier that month after their harsh sentences received international criticism. The medics were sentenced in September to terms ranging from five to 10 years [JURIST report] imprisonment for events that occurred at the medical complex.

Written by Your CLEAN sister
I LOVE IT!!!! Ever since CLEAN has hit the market I have been a loyal. When CLEAN first made it to the stores few people knew the fragrance which I love. I don't want to smell like everyone else. I love Lather because its smell just like DOVE soap!! I hate perfume that smells like perfume...I wear 4 scents of CLEAN and get so many compliments. Everyone says CLEAN is my signature scent :) Also, I have very sensitive skin to fragrance but CLEAN doesn't bother me at all. By the way, if you are a fan of "Lather" CLEAN has discontinued the scent so, I plan to buy as many bottles as I can afford of this site. I can smell the fresh scent wafting off my sweater now. Finally, a perfume maker that did a clean scent right!!

I own 3 of the Clean fragrances, and by far my favorite is "Lather". Some of the previous reviews stated Lather smells like baby powder, to me it doesn't, its a fresh milled French soap smell. Wonderful..........

The last time the Miami Heat played in Dallas was last December.
They jumped on the defending champion Mavericks that day, eventually winning the game 105-94 in an NBA Finals rematch to open the 2011-12 season.
Apparently, the Heat (17-6) aren't done beating down the Mavericks. A depleted Mavericks team couldn't stay on the floor with Miami as the Heat led by as many as 36 before the benches cleared and the Mavericks made an empty run late.
The game ended 110-95 in the Heat's favor.
LeBron James kept his streak of games with over 20 points going (23 to open the season), finishing with 24 points and nine rebounds on 13 shots in 31 minutes to lead the Heat. Dwyane Wade had a 13-point third quarter and finished with 19 points, six assists and five rebounds. Chris Bosh was steady in his 17-point, 7-rebound line.
Dallas (12-14), playing without Dirk Nowitzki and to a lesser extend Brendan Wright, were led by Jae Crowders' 15-point effort.
The Heat held red-hot shooting O.J Mayo to eight points on 3-of-14 shooting on the night, much of it due to stifling defense from Wade.

This page contains important information about Financial Aid eligibility for students enrolled in a Co-op semester. Students on a Co-op do not qualify for the all the same types of aid as a student enrolled during an academic semester. While a student is considered a full-time student during their Co-op semester, there are some types of aid for which you will be ineligible. Below are the types of financial aid students are eligible for during the co-op semester.
Alternative Loans
Students on Co-op qualify for private education loans. For more information, see our Alternative Loans page.
Federal Loans
Unless a student has already utilized their annual limit of federal loans for the year, they can receive federal loans while on Co-op. However, they are not generally packaged. If you are interested in having or need your federal loans to be disbursed during a co-op semester, please contact your financial aid counselor.
Here are the annual borrowing limits for Stafford Loans.
Dependent Students::

2nd Year - $6500
3rd Year and beyond - $7500
Independent Students:

2nd Year - $10,500
3rd year and beyond - $12,500
- The Federal Parent Plus loan may be used during a co-op semester, if the parent qualifies.
- If the student qualifies based on their FAFSA, they will be eligible for the Perkins Loan during a co-op semester.

Original when I rhyme in the mic
and my rhyme style's tranquil like the clear white light
lost sight of the direction you were going
and you know one of these days you're going to reap what you're sowing
I get down like a funky chicken
Finger lickin grooves in the news which I'm kicking
Independent life in the sun it glistens
In the corporate world ass is what you'll be kissing
Listen to this rhyme style style get tricky
Poorpous crew keep the rhyme style spiffy
Slowly I slip into another transition
Sign after Sign heady crystal superstitions
Now some people say that I look like a goof
when I get loose boogie like a drunk goose
Get used to this funky ass style
I'll be around for awhile rocking southwest Ohio.

100 Club x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star
October 17th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | No comments
Converse has been presenting 'Gigs' at London's legendary 100 Club all year, and now the site of the first international punk rock festival makes up for lost time with not one but four new collaborative releases. The 100 Club x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star adds the club's stencil-ish logo in tonal prints of varying sizes to white and black designs in both high and lowtop silhouettes. We're reminded of the countless punk (and its offspring genres) artists rocking Chucks over the years and these do a good job of keeping things timeless while still saluting the guest stars, and they're available now straight from Converse.

All "Girls" Deserve a Happy Ending by Lisa De Pasquale Feb 9, 2013 2:11 PM PT In response to I've Finally Started Watching 'Girls'...:Great post, Ezra. I haven't seen "Girls" yet, but I was wary of the knee-jerk criticism that many had against it. It reminded me of all the criticism of "Sex and the City" when it first aired. Critics panned it for depicting "women having sex like men." If they had actually watched more than one or two episodes they would have seen that a central theme of the show was that the feminists' notion of sexual freedom left them feeling alone. By the end of the series, every character (including Samantha, the one who was "successful" in loveless dating) only found her happy ending after finding a committed partner or by starting a family. Continue reading Share This: Read more
I've Finally Started Watching 'Girls'... by Ezra Dulis Feb 9, 2013 12:44 PM PT About a year ago I work/watched Lena Dunham's debut film "Tiny Furniture" when someone else streamed it from my TV. Wasn't too impressed, so I was pretty ambivalent about her HBO series "Girls." Then came her Obama campaign ad, which meant that every conservative on Twitter instantly became an expert on Dunham's looks, her moral character, the ins and outs of her sex life, etc.The contrarian in me hates that—the herd bullying, the kneejerk hate of someone you've never met or studied in any meaningful way just so you can fit in with people you like. So I figured I'd eventually watch the show, just to see whether she was actually a hateful partisan like a young, hipster Sam Mendes, depicting a nihilistic, depraved reality to stick it to all the people she hates.Continue reading Share This: Read more
License to Kill by Feb 9, 2013 11:44 AM PT I'm quite certain that the media is just working on its strong condemnation of a "toxic atmosphere" in which murder is celebrated and deranged persons celebrate "Second Amendment Solutions" and also toxic talking heads on extremist partisan news networks who suggest that we have to take the concerns of serial killers seriously and thereby send the message that if you want your political beliefs to triumph you should probably shoot 3-6 people to death.

The Making of another Martyr or Mumia by Kerry Picket Feb 9, 2013 9:52 AM PT In response to The Black Community's Dichotomy on Gun Violence:What's particularly concerning is guys like Ab-Soul start to gin up this following for Dorner, so if Dorner is killed by police in a shootout situation, every black activist will be out there saying the police used excessive force. The three people he allegedly killed are forgotten by everyone if not become part of some conspiracy theory. If Dorner goes to jail, he gets the Tookie Williams or Mumia Abu Jamal treatment from the black community. Continue reading Share This: Read more

Hip-Hop Artist to L.A. Shooting Suspect: 'This Was A Necessary Evil...God Bless You Sir' by Kerry Picket Feb 8, 2013 8:45 PM PT Ab-Soul, a California Interscope Records Hip Hop artist, made remarks on his Instagram page Friday night expressing his support for Christopher Dorner — a former Navy reservist who was fired from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008. Dorner is now suspected of fatally shooting three people and injuring two others in an act of revenge. : As the manhunt continued as far north as the San Bernardino Mountains, late Thursday, Interscope Records rapper Ab-Soul posted a photo defending the fugitive on his Instagram page, quoting Dorner's 11,400-word manifesto, in which he outlines plans to kill law enforcement officers and their family members. "This was a necessary evil," Ab-Soul posted, quoting Dorner's manifesto, and adding his own comment: "God Bless You Sir." So far, the post has received more than 3,200 likes and 500 comments, many supporting the statements. One commenter calling themselves Popsapien referred to Dorner as "The BLACK RAMBO" and another, Gnodiaz replied: "Everyone else [is] misinformed idiots. He killed officers as a statement because the system he worked in was corrupt and they discharged him [from] attempting to reveal how corrupt it was." Continue reading Share This: Read more

Black bears don't technically hibernate – it's more like a long sleep. However, the result is the same – Colorado bears need to pack on enough fat to survive four or five months without a meal, so during late summer and fall, bears enter a condition called "hyperphagia," which compels them to eat for as much as 20 hours a day. During hyperphagia, a bear may increase its intake of food from 8,000 calories to 20,000 calories per day.
While Colorado bears have evolved to survive on a diet of berries, acorns and the occasional prey item, they will readily take advantage of an easy meal consisting of trash or poorly stored food. Every year, the combination of hungry bears and careless humans creates conflicts that Colorado's wildlife managers are charged with sorting out.
The typical consequences of poor food and trash storage are a garbage-strewn lawn or a camping trip cut short. In some cases, it can even lead to a damaged kitchen. However, for bears, the consequences are often fatal. Because a wildlife manager's priority is human safety, problem bears are tranquilized and relocated only once. The second time they get in trouble, they are destroyed. So are bears that enter homes or show aggression toward people just once.
"It's unfortunate, but some bears are killed simply because people can't be bothered to secure their food or trash," said Area Wildlife Manager J.T. Romatzke. "Public safety has to be our first priority, but I can tell you that putting a bear down because of someone's thoughtlessness is one of the worst parts of my job."
The problem is compounded by a bear's natural intelligence and excellent memory. Once a bear learns how to get an easy meal, they will apply that knowledge again and again in the following years. Sows can teach their cubs the same behavior, creating a cycle that can bring them into a conflict with people.
Although wildlife managers have the option to relocate a nuisance bear, it is an option that is becoming increasingly difficult as development continues to encroach on bear habitat. Although bears do not typically attack humans, they are large, powerful animals and their determination to eat makes them dangerous when they learn human items and places are a source of food.
This summer saw several high-profile incidents involving bears that entered tents in search of food and injured the occupants. Complicating matters, a single person's negligence can lead to problems for many, explained Breckinridge Area Wildlife Manger Shannon Schwab.
"A problem bear is everyone's problem," said Schwab. "If even one person doesn't care enough to take precautions and a bear gets into their trash or their house, it increases the chances that the bear will move on to the neighbor's house, and so on. Multiply that by thousands of bears across the state that are now preparing for winter and you can see why it is so important for everyone to do their part."

When aircraft are parked at the gate, they need a source to power instruments, interior lighting, and provide conditioned air in the cabin. The most efficient and environmentally friendly way to do this is by providing preconditioned air and 400 Hertz (Hz) power connections at each aircraft parking position. Without these connections, aircraft are required to either run their auxiliary power units (a small jet fuel engine located under the aircraft tail) or use a diesel-powered ground power unit. There are 199 aircraft parking positions in the Central Passenger Terminal Complex. Of the 199 positions, approximately 90 percent are equipped with preconditioned air and 400 Hz power.

"My experience in ordering an electronic whiteboard from Clary Business Machines was super easy. I did some research online and decided Clary had the Panaboard that we needed. I placed the order online a week and a half ago and the board was delivered today. I hope the guys around here can figure out how to install it!!"
