Pured into a Pint glass from a single bought at a store, The Store.
A: Dark Brown to Amber, not too carbonated (at all) slight off-white head which disappeared quickly and left no lace.
S: Toasted caramel in smell.
T: Slightly grainy, caramel, very little bitterness (as per the style)
M: Light, watery even, very little carbonation
D: Goes down quick but not necessarily a good thing, could drink these all day long f they were free, but I wouldn't bother buying one again.
Overall worth a try to be able to look at the pretty girl on the bottle and thats about it.

This beer poured out as a nice shade of brown, the head was a little fizzy but still had some left over clumps on top. The smell of the beer had a little bit of the skunky lager aroma going on but was almost hidden by the sweeter malts in the brew. The taste of this brew had good flavor all around. The sweet caramel malts work well with the lager elements. The mouthfeel was pretty good, on the lighter side but had enough body to remain flavorful. Overall I enjoy this beer from time to time. I would pick it over a Becks Dark and a few others out there any day.

Presentation: 12oz green bottle. An inviting St. Pauli Girl, steins in hand, on the front, best before date on the back and foil neck.
Appearance: Clean looking brown colour with dark amber hues. Well retaining off-white head that sticks.
Smell: Soft grain notes, mild sulfur aromas (by-product of certain lager yeasts) and light floral hop.
Taste: Very smooth with a light mouthfeel. Light to medium bodied. Malt flavours are mildly sweet, lightly toasted with hints of faint molasses. Hops are a bit floral in flavour with a delicate bitterness. The brew then goes dry and refreshingly crisp with grain flavours and more sulfur notes.
Notes: Very drinkable and refreshing. I enjoyed it very much. A nice dark lager and overall import.

Good clarity but the head retention is lacking with only a thin ring of lace. Bight brownish amber in colour.
Faintly sweet caramelized malt and a bit metallic in the aroma with a cloying note in the back.
Carbonation is level with a decent crispness, both grain and the little amount of hops have a mild astringent bite to them. Malt seems a bit lost and does not lay down much other than some vague toasted grain. Mild metallic taste middle to end. Dry and a bitty after taste.
This is a poor example of a dark Euro lager. Needless to say I have no need to go back to this beer and don't recommend it at all.

A bit better than its pale counterpart. Pours a caramel color with a big off-white head. Pleasantly sweet aroma of caramel, brown bread, and floral hops. Taste is similar to the original, but with caramel malt flavors added. Bit of a tangy bite when the beer gets to the end, not sure what that is about. Not bad.

Bought a twelve pack of these last week because I had never tried it, it was on sale, and I was hoping to collect 12 brown bottles for my upcoming jump into the homebrewing world. Due to the fact that the box was closed, I couldn't see that they were actually in green bottles. But hey, at least they're not twistoffs.
Must say that I was a bit disappointed in this beer. Presentation was good, poured clean and with decent head straight out of the bottle. Taste, however, was another story. Sort of bland, with a bad aftertaste. Bit of a hop tinge, but nothing really to note. Also, tasted like burnt caramel, and not in a good way. Still, despite it's faults, it was easy going down. Light on the mouthfeel. Doubt I would buy it again, but if offered for free I would probably drink it.
On a side note the labels came off clean and easy with a little hot water.

Poured dark ruby with minimal head. Excellent carbonation ups the mouthfeel. The aroma was slightly off with evident alcohol. The flavor was slightly bitter, but light. As it warms, the flavor maltens up. Refreshing if the beer is fresh.
Edit: After revisiting this beer, I think the smell was more malty than I reported and I think these were a little fresher. So, I upped the smell from 3.0 to 3.5 and the drinkability from 3.0 to 3.5. Not as good as the Warsteiner Dunkel, but good.

Smells slightly of honey and malty sugar. In the mouth, nuts and dark sugars proliferate: caramels, toffees and deep syrups. Lightly hopped and sparkling on the tongue, this brew is quite flavorful, and has a mouthfeel of carbonated water. Quite decent fare; a good introduction to brown ales and such medium-heavy fares for those not acquainted with anything bearing any severity.

Pours out a reasonably dark blackish color with faint hints of red. Certainly not as dark as a stout, but this isn't a stout! A somewhat smallish almond-tan colored head appears readily, but disappears fairly quickly as well. Some very minor amounts of lacing left on the glass. Smells pleasingly of chocolate and malt, but nothing spectacular. Tastes fairly sweet with immediate hop bitterness to balance it out. However, it finishes with a thin tanginess that seems to give it a watered-down character. I believe this beer may actually taste better straight out of the bottle... Mouthfeel is unusually thin for a beer that is this dark. Not horrible by any means, but it seems to be much too thin for the style. Overall, its a fairly drinkable offering, but not something I would consider very good stylistically. I have enjoyed the six pack I purchased and consumed prior to writing this review (not in one sitting mind you!), but for the price, I won't be buying it again anytime soon.

Ive had a few of these kicking around the refrigerator for a while, now...
Clear dark brown leaning toward the reddish side. Stubbornly refuses to generate a head, and it wont lace almost like it was waxed. Somewhat biscuity aroma. Mildly malty flavors, some sense of distant molasses and dark Karo. Finishes over carbonated and faintly metallic. I didnt detect any skunk but this beer is no where close to the quality its price suggests.

It's hard to believe I've never written my thoughts down about this accessible, this one appears a dar cola brown with ruby highlights forms a light beige head that sticks around for some time. Minimal scattered lacing lines my 1/2 liter mug. Aroma has a slight toasted malt character with minimal herbal hops accenting the malts. A bit of a sourdough or biscuit yeast edge in the nose as well. Flavor is decent a touch of chocolate mild tartness from that yeast driven malt profile. Herbal hop bitterness in the finish, a nice mass produced dunkel it is what it is. Mouthfeel is thin lighter bodied, flows well everybody has crossed paths with this beer on their way to craftbeerdom. Drinkability is decent a twelve pack was on sale for 10 bucks that's a great deal so why not here I am drinking some St. Pauli Special Dark.

The color is a clear, dark amber-brown. There's a one finger head on the pour that stays for a couple of minutes and leaves just the tiniest spots of thin, delicate lacing.
I suppose this is supposed to be malty; I get the tones of natural caramel malt, though a little weak, but there's a metallic and astringent tinge to the nose as well. There's a light note of grains noted when I strain.
The taste is the same, though a hops flavor shows up faintly as well. A little bit of molasses in the malt on the tongue as well. The finish is moderately dry and lightly bittersweet, lingering for a short while.
The body is light and it's pretty smooth on the tongue. Carbonation is at a good, active level. It is a little thin.
It's drinkable.

Probably my current favorite of the St. Pauli Girls, which really isn't saying a whole lot.
It's a tad darker than some dark lagers I've seen, but not overwhelmingly so. The smell, despite being a tad faint and nowhere near as malty as I'd like, nevertheless manages to be acceptable.
The taste is somewhat lackluster, suffering from a distinct lack of hops. It is, however, saved by a faint carmel sweetness which ends up being the beer's main feature.
Drinkable, but there's a number of better options out there.

This is a beer that I really enjoy, living in a small southern town with no micros this is one of my standbys. Thin head on pour. Color was dark dark copper. Looked beautiful when the light shined through the glass. The taste and mouthfeel are really good, and this is a beer that you probally shouldn't start drinking unless you plan to stay home, because one ins't enough.

A - Transparent reddish purple brew with a short-lived half-finger head that quickly recedes to a wisp of haze and a thin collar. A swirl brings back a thin cap and lacing is minimal at best.
S - Marshmallow and milk chocolate aromas with thin rootbeer notes. Count Chocula-esque. A thin but pleasing nose.
T - Woody barky flavors with a touch of roastiness and some milk chocolate and rootbeer just like the nose. Some noticeable mineral flavors detract a bit from the taste, but it seems too work here. A little too sweet and metallic, but not bad overall.
M - Moderately carbonated and light bodied with a creamy feel as it warms. The finish is quite dry and barky.
D - A good session brew that leans toward the dark side with light roasted flavors and a thin drinkable sessionable quality. This is very much like a schwarsbier and a good stout or porter alternative for those who like their coffee weak....I prefer my coffee at full on black Starbucks strength.

Skunked despite its dark color, the nose is still somewhat inviting with its "European" flair; and it reveals some mildly toasted, grainy malt once the 'skunk' has passed! Its deep chestnut/mahogany body supports a creamy off-white head that holds quite well before dropping to a wide collar; and it leaves some minor spotty lacing throughout the glass as well. It's light and crisp in the mouth with a fine, standard carbonation that awakens the tastebuds and refreshes the palate. The flavor reveals a toasted, delicately grainy malt amidst some yeasty sulphur, a touch of floral hoppiness, and a firm bitterness. It finishes crisp, dry, and refreshing with a subtle reminder of it's toastiness left in the mouth. Quite nice!

In English and American law, coverture refers to women's legal status after marriage: legally, upon marriage, the husband and wife were treated as one entity. In essence, the wife's separate legal existence disappeared as far as property rights were concerned.
Under coverture, wives could not control their own property unless specific provisions were made before marriage, they could not file lawsuits or be sued separately, nor could they execute contracts. The husband could use, sell or dispose of her property (again, unless prior provisions were made) without her permission.
See the entry on property rights for some events in American legal history which extended women's property rights and affected coverture laws.
Sir William Blackstone, in his 1765 authoritative legal text, Commentaries on the Laws of England, said this about coverture and the legal rights of married women:
"By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called ... a feme-covert...."
Pronunciation: KUV-e-cher or KUV-e-choor
Also Known As: cover, feme-covert

Oscar is a slightly surprising starter over Juan Mata for Chelsea, whose team is otherwise exactly as expected. Juventus have sprung no surprises on anyone with their team selection, which is their normal first-choice 3-5-2 setup. It's not clear whether Oscar or Eden Hazard will start on the wing, but it's not terribly relevant. They'll do a lot of interchanging anyway.
Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Ashley Cole, John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic; Frank Lampard, John Obi Mikel; Eden Hazard, Oscar, Ramires; Fernando Torres
Juventus starting lineup (3-5-2): Gianluigi Buffon; Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli; Kwadwo Asamoah, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Claudio Marchisio, Stefan Lichtsteiner; Sebastian Giovinco, Mirko Vucinic
Kickoff is at 2:45 p.m. ET from Stamford Bridge. You can catch the game on FOX Soccer in the U.S., Sky Sports 2 in the U.K. and Sportsnet regional networks in Canada.

3Even The Sister Wives Support Gay Marriage
Ever since Obama endorsed gay marriage earlier this week, so many celebrities have come forward to discuss their opinions about it. Most of the reactions have been pretty predictable – Kim Kardashian made a blog post about how it made her proud to be an American, and Bristol Palin made her illogical, backwards comments about how we don't need to "change thousands of years of thinking about marriage" – but a couple were a little surprising. Namely, the reaction that the cast of that darling show, Sister Wives, had:
"I feel like we should be more enlightened as a society," says Kody Brown, the 44-year-old husband to Meri, 41, Janelle, 42, Christine, 40, and Robyn, 33, and father of 17 children.
Kody said he doesn't want legislators governing marriage.
"I married four women and I love them," he said. "I chose this out of love and out of faith. I feel like I want to extend that to all people…Let individuals define their love and their marriage. I don't want the government doing that."
Asked if their beliefs extend to gay couples, Kody said, "Let individuals define their marriage and let individuals choose who they love."
Christine added, "I think marriage is a wonderful opportunity to share your life with somebody that you love. I want all our children to marry who they love, too."
Janelle praised Obama for his historic remarks yesterday. "He's taking a lot of heat for it, but it was very brave of him," she said.
And the Browns know a thing or two about taking a lot of heat. They've been shunned by the mainstream public and even fellow polygamists for starring in a reality show. (The third season of Sister Wives kicks off on Sunday—yes, Mother's Day!)
"Polygamists are such a private society, culture," Kody said. "It's been very vulnerable to present yourself to the public and ask them to be OK with you. Sometimes its sad and sometimes it's very rewarding, but it was scary because you feel like you're standing in a football field naked and everyone is in the grandstand's looking at you."
Despite watching the first two seasons of Sister Wives on Netflix this week, I never really put much thought into what their stance on this topic would be. I'm glad that they're supportive though, even if it feels like it's mostly to support their own not-so-traditional views on marriage*. And just so we're clear, this means that the Sister Wives are better than the Palins. Just in case that was ever a debate.
*They're not as scary as the more traditional, creepy polygamists, and it's obvious that the women are happy in their situation, but yeah, they're wacky. There was this one episode where Kody took one of the wives to dinner for their anniversary, and she asked him to understand that she had some issues with jealousy over the new wife and to have patience with her as she came to terms with that, and he was like "I don't understand why you're jealous." She tried to explain that while she chose this lifestyle and she was happy, that it was natural to feel a bit of jealousy when you see your husband courting a new lady, and then she asked him what he would think if she married another dude or two. Immediately he was like "that's disgusting, that makes me ill to think about, it goes against the laws of nature, how could you even say that?" Wacky. As. Hell.

"then she asked him what he would think if she married another dude or two. Immediately he was like "that's disgusting, that makes me ill to think about, it goes against the laws of nature, how could you even say that?""
I'm not at all surprised by that reaction. That's the problem I have with polygamy. It just seems like another version of men get whatever they want and women don't. As a lesbian, I have no problem with gay men or transgendered people marrying (as if it is any of my business anyway.) Maybe it is more difficult for him to consider polyandry because it could actually affect him in some way.
I do have a problem with one person marrying groups of people, just because it complicates the relationships between them in a major way. How can you have equality between one person and a group of people? How can the one person not feel like the most important person in the equation when several other people have to "share" them and vie for their time and attention? The power differential would always be shifted. It would always be unfair to the people that are in the group.
I know that on the things I have seen (I haven't watched the show, but I have seen other things on TV about polygamy) the women always say they prefer it this way, they are perfectly happy, etc. But people say they are "happy" doing a lot of things when they are in denial or some other state and would not say that if they managed to realize their true desires.
As far as raising children in a group, I think that's a great idea, but it could be a community of couples or mothers, it doesn't need to be numerous wives of one person.
So although I'm glad of the Sister Wives' endorsement of legalizing gay marriage, unfortunately I can't give one back to them for the legalization of polygamy.
But there are loads of people who practise polyamory and are incredibly happy. I think just because we don't understand something it doesn't mean it's wrong.
Um, I don't remember saying it was wrong, I said I had a problem with it and I gave my reasons why. I also said that the people I have seen on TV (which I recognize is not a substitute for actually knowing someone in the situation) say they are happy, although I did question whether they were being honest with themselves. I do have to say that whether someone says they are happy or not is not always a good standard to judge a situation. And I still think that if you think of the give and take of a relationship where power goes up and down on either side throughout the course of the relationship, putting one person on one end and several on the other at least complicates the situation tremendously if not destroying the ability for some of the people to be heard equally. Do I think it's wrong? No. Am I up for legalized polygamy? Say you will legalize polyandry at the same time and I'll give it some thought. It might not be so bad. I often see women having a serial monogamy sort of thing where they have multiple children from multiple men over time. Maybe if they were married, it would be easier to get the men to contribute to the children's welfare.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with these yummy shamrocks made from yogurt-covered pretzels.
To save sugar, sprinkle each clover on a small piece of waxed paper. After you've covered a few treats, use the paper to funnel the extra sugar back into its jar.
To make a batch, cover a work surface with a sheet of waxed paper. For each clover, arrange three yogurt-covered mini pretzels and a pretzel section as shown.
Combine 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil with 1/4 cup white chocolate chips and melt them together in the microwave according to the chips' package directions. Dab the mixture between the pretzel pieces to adhere them. Let the chocolate harden.
Working with one clover at a time, pipe the edges and stem with green icing (we used a #8 round piping tip), then quickly sprinkle it with decorating sugar (we used white, light green, and dark green).

That was a very informative article. I'm still new to all this nutrition stuff, so I was left a little confused. Would anyone mind giving an example of there 5-6 meals they eat in a day and why each meal is eaten (i.e. for carbs, fats, etc)
thanks and great article

Premise being: you want to get the bulk of your kcals (particularily carbs) at times when your body will use them (usually breakfast and/or post-training). People often neglect the importance of hormonal factors when it comes to addiing/losing muscle or adding/losing fat. How you eat and how you structure your meals will play a HUGE role as to how your body will respond.

The best free open source software for Mac OS X
If you live and work on a Mac, you'll want to try these 10 killer open source apps -- InfoWorld's top picksFollow @peterwayner
There are deeper forks too. A number of other browsers like Flock and XeroBank marry Firefox's core rendering engine with other features. Flock combines a social network layer to the browsing so that you can share your click stream more easily with your friends. Xerobank incorporates Tor, a proxy tool that blocks your location from the Web sites.
Firefox's add-on mechanism lets you extend the browser's capabilities with features like the Firebug window on the bottom, showing the markup of the page in view.
Escape from Photoshop with GIMP or Seashore
There is only one problem with Adobe Photoshop: the price, close to $1,000 for the extended version and more than $2,000 for a big bundle with other tools.
But there's GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, which costs nothing. It's built mainly for the GNU/Linux world, so you can't use it without installing X11, a task that's not too hard if your original Mac OS X installer disks are handy. But it does almost everything that Photoshop can, and there's even a skinning function that makes it look like Photoshop.
Like Firefox, much of GIMP's value comes from the wide variety of plug-ins built by programmers and artists. Some tagged "script fu" are amalgamations of GIMP operations linked together by the built-in scheme programming language.
If you're not enough of a programmer to enjoy using the LISP-like Scheme, you have two other choices. First, run back into Adobe's fold and purchase Photoshop Elements, a version of the big tool with a much more attractive price; for just under $100, Photoshop Elements will also use most of the professional plug-ins sold for Photoshop. Or second, grab Seashore, a simple version of GIMP with only the most essential routines. It's already a Cocoa app, so there's no need to install X11.
Seashore is a nice and simple tool for twiddling image files. It carries you back to the days of MacPaint.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — To the editor:
The Declaration of Independence avers that "governments are instituted among men and derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." The preamble of the United States Constitution states, "We the People … establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Amendment V declares, "No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law." What's in the Patriot Act?
Amendment IX asserts, "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Do we have a right to prevent our tax dollars from being given to banks that are "too big to fail?" Empires fail. Our federal government failed us yesterday, is failing us today and, apparently, will continue to fail us tomorrow.
In Federalist Paper I, Alexander Hamilton states, "… nothing could be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has at all times characterized political parties." Welcome to gridlock, where the influence of special interests rules the day to the detriment of the general welfare of the country, which for all intents and purposes has bankrupted our country, morally, fiscally and economically.
Many people are at a loss to understand how our federal government became so ineffective. To find the answer, we must collectively look in the mirror. The answer will be staring us in the face.
There are no local, state and federal lands, buildings or funds. It all belongs to the citizenry. All bureaucrats, public servants, government contractors and politicians work for us. In a democracy of, by and for the people, power rightfully flows from the bottom up not from the top down; however, a lack of vigilance and concern has led to the sad state of affairs in which our country is now stuck.
Democrats, Republicans, independents and progressives have the same needs and wants, e.g., adequate health care, good-paying jobs, secure retirements, first-rate education for their children, secure borders and capable, national security – economic and military. In New Hampshire and the country at large, I suggest that all citizens, regardless of party, stop casting insults at the beliefs and politicians of other parties. Tit-for-tat comments are ineffectual and polarizing. Republicans, Democrats, independents and progressives are all good Americans with ideas worthy of discussion. No one is always right or always wrong. Truth that has the power to result in positive change is an assortment of ideas.
Let people of all political groups assemble together with the goal of determining where we are now, where we want to be and the way to get there. Country first! Let us continue our discussions in this newspaper and in our meeting halls. How do we bring about positive change concerning transportation, oil consumption, protracted wars, the cost of elections, the lack of jobs and so forth? If government is ineffective, responsibility drops to us to find solutions to our pressing needs. Then, we will tell our representatives what we want and how they are going to fulfill our desires, since they work for and represent us. Failure on their part, at any level, is cause for dismissal.

BOSTON -- EMC today announced at its annual user conference here a private cloud appliance that allows synchronous replication between storage arrays up to 100km apart, including the applications and virtual machines associated with them.
The EMC VPLEX appliance supports only block-level data replication across distance, but the company said it is aiming to support file and object-based storage eventually. The device is squarely positioned at providing data migration for automated storage provisioning, disaster recovery, and business continuity because of its ability to create active remote data centers, allowing users to automatically fail over from one data center to another.
[ Are your storage requirements out of control? Then start by eliminating data redundancy. InfoWorld contributor Keith Schultz lays it all out in our Deep Dive Report on Data Deduplication. ]
"This is a fundamentally game-changing technology on how storage can be federated," EMC chief executive Joe Tucci said during a keynote speech. "Obviously, this is far more green than the old way of running a data center."
Tucci said the company's vision is all about the private and public cloud where, like virtualization in data centers and within storage arrays, a layer of abstraction will be created so that where data resides in a physical location will not be visible to the applications using it.
Tucci described EMC's vision as a "federation of resources," where storage capacity and application workloads can dynamically move between data centers.
The VPLEX comes in two versions: the VPLEX Local, a single 2U (3.5-in high) appliance for replication within a single data center between EMC arrays and the VPLEX Metro, which allows two of the boxes synchronous connectivity up to 100km.The 100km distance limit is due more to application limitations than the arrays' physical capability to replicate data, according to Brian Gallagher, president of EMC's Symmetrix and Virtualization Product Group. For example, it takes about 5 milliseconds for data to travel between two data centers that are 100km apart and connected by fiber optic cables.
"Our vision is really to go away from having discrete data centers," Gallagher said "This has never been done in the past. It allows for access over distance. [Administrators] can move data and access it across data centers."
Gallagher said the VPLEX allows administrators to balance workloads over 100km distances and to automatically fail over between data centers to avoid disasters.
"If there's a hurricane in one part of the world, you can teleport applications and data to another part of the world," Gallagher said.

Our Science – Hussain Website
S. Perwez Hussain, Ph.D.
Our research program investigates the molecular pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer to determine molecular events critical to tumor progression, using an integrative biology translation research approach. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies with a median survival of 6 months and a 5-year survival of mere 6%. The dismal prognosis in pancreatic cancer is due to the lack of an effective therapy and reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis. Understanding pancreatic tumor biology, a priority recommendation of the Pancreatic Cancer Progress Review Group (convened by NCI), is essential to develop strategies for prevention, diagnosis and effective therapeutic intervention. The Pancreatic Cancer Unit (PCU) investigates pancreatic tumor biology with focus on the role of inflammatory mediators, to understand the underlying mechanism of tumor progression, and to identify candidate targets for therapeutic intervention. Our efforts include both a focused and global approach, which involves the analyses of clinical samples to assess the biological relevance of a marker (e.g., gene or metabolite) by evaluating its association with disease aggressiveness in pancreatic cancer patients, followed by the investigation of its mechanistic role in disease progression using pancreatic cancer cells and genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic cancer. The overall aim of our research program is to understand the pancreatic tumor biology and identify critical pathways associated with tumor progression and disease aggressiveness that can be targeted for therapeutic intervention.
Current Research Projects:
1. Role of Immune and Inflammatory mediators in the progression of pancreatic cancer
Evidence from epidemiological and molecular studies support a role of inflammation in the development, progression and therapeutic resistance in pancreatic cancer. One such evidence comes from the observation that the risk of developing pancreatic cancer increases several-fold, in patient with hereditary and sporadic pancreatitis. There is a step-wise accumulation of inflammatory changes during the development of PDAC, intermingled within a characteristic desmoplastic stroma. Increase in the level of cytokines, chemokines, generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, alteration in inflammation-associated miRNA expressions, and induction of NF-kB are some of the major inflammation-mediated events that may contribute to the development and progression of cancer. Many of the immune and inflammatory mediators are expressed both in tumor epithelial and stromal cells. However, the precise roles of inflammatory and immune mediators in the progression and aggressiveness of pancreatic cancer are not completely understood. Defining the mechanistic role of these mediators in disease progression may help identify candidate therapeutic targets. Currently, we are investigating the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and nitric oxide (NO•) in tumor biology. These are two interconnected mediators of immune and inflammatory responses that are produced by both tumor epithelial as well as inflammatory cells. We have recently shown that an increased expression level of MIF, a proinflammatory cytokine, in tumors was significantly associated with poor outcome in resected cases of PDAC, induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and enhanced tumor growth and metastasis (Funamizu et. al., Int J. Cancer, 2012). We are currently exploring, if MIF and other inflammatory mediators are candidate therapeutic targets in pancreatic cancer.
2. Molecular Profiling of Human Pancreatic Cancer:
Molecular profiling using genomic, transcriptomics and metabolomics, collectively known as "OMICS", is an important and widely used strategy for an unbiased, global screening of molecular characteristics and/or differences in biological samples, which may help in understanding the biological mechanisms, which contribute to the development and progression of cancer. The highly heterogeneous characteristic of pancreatic tumor underscores the significance of a comprehensive and integrative molecular profiling in larger cohort of tumors, followed by their validations in multiple independent cohorts and assay platforms to examine molecular subgroups, and understand how several molecular events are intertwined as a network leading to the disease aggressiveness and poor outcome. The delineation of subtypes-specific biology and critical pathways associated with disease outcome may identify subtype-specific candidate targets for therapeutic intervention. Our overall goal is to examine a large sample set of PDAC, using global strategies, including transcriptomics and metabolomics to 1) identify critical genes and pathways that may be interrogated as candidate therapeutic targets; 2) Distinguish molecular subgroups with distinct therapeutic response and disease outcome; 3) Molecular characterization of early stage tumors with extreme prognoses to reveal critical pathways linked to patient outcome.

After surviving a horrific crash a year ago, a Longview police officer says she is not happy about how she was honorably discharged from the force.
Leigh Ann Snyder spoke out for the first time on her anger and disappointment over her discharge.
"The city's let me down. There was no encouragement from administration, there was alienation," said Snyder.
Still rehabbing from injuries suffered when she was hit by a drunk driver a year ago on duty, Snyder is angry at how the ordeal has been treated.
"I had two broken legs and a broken hip and could barely function. I'm really just betrayed. Its been very traumatic when you don't have your city behind you," she says.
She is angry over the city's policy which says employees must be let go if they miss 12 months of full time work in a two-year period.
"They've done it in the past for people for people that were not even injured in the line of duty and they're not making any accommodations for me. The toughest part is them not having my back because I've devoted my life to serving the people. This one year city policy , its not working," Snyder says.
There is dispute over what the city has offered and what has really been given.
"She's going to continue to be paid 70 percent of her salary, untaxed, she'll have medical coverage for the rest of her life, insurance covering childcare, renovating her house for handicap purposes," said Longview Mayor Jay Dean earlier in the week.
"Both of those things are not true, its further not true that the city will provide health insurance for her for the rest of her life," says Snyder's attorney Frank Weedon.
"The only thing I had provided was light housekeeping," says Snyder.
"The broader public issue is the failure of the workers compensation system in the state of Texas," Weedon says.
Snyder says she plans on making a full recovery and one day returning to law enforcement.

A golden color with a fading white head.
Smell is a bit grainy and has notes of vegetables. Still most smell is from pilsner malt. A light husky and grainy smell.
Taste is mostly a pilsner malty base. Hints of grain and a very little husk. Bitterness is quite firm. After swallowing the bitterness kicks in and lingers. There is no real herbal or peppery hoptaste, it's very clean. Mouthfeel is right for a pilsner.
Overall the beer is decent and has a non-expected bitterness.

This is a very good pilsner, a textbook example of the style and clearly modeled after the Czech pilsners, if somewhat lacking in malt backbone.
I poured this from the can into a glass, and my first thought was "it's pretty pale..." The head was good but not long lasting, which isn't a good sign either... Then I took at sip.
I have not even been drinking much beer in Japan because most of it is frankly terrible and the price is high, but as soon as I tasted this I thought "Now THIS is a real beer!" The taste is reminiscent of Pilsner Urquell, while the body is somewhat weak the noble hops come right up and say "hello". If anything it could be faulted for being too close to the textbook pilsner style. On the other hand, it's clearly a pilsner, the hops are perfect, it's smooth and easy to drink. Basically, it's exactly what it should be. Right now, that's exactly what I want.
If you don't like the classic pilsners, don't drink this, but if you are in Japan and you want a pilsner that really tastes like a pilsner, get this. I could drink this all day (if I had the money in this land of expensive beer), especially during hot summer days. I wouldn't go looking for this beer overseas, but if you're in Japan and you want a beer that tastes like beer, I would recommend Echigo Pilsner.

Pours a pale straw colour with white head. Quite good when poured but sinks quickly, all bubbly and foamy with slow bead. No lace. Very dull, standard looking lager.
Not much on the nose. Slight metallic hop and some green apple crispness. Perhaps a slight rice character and some very light carbonation sourness. But very, very little, very unimpressive.
Immense sticky rice sweetness pervades the entire flavour. Slight thickness on the mid with predominantly sweet and sticky adjunct flavour. A mild bitterness like bamboo or other grass lingers on the back, but it's more of an aftertaste than an actual flavour sensation. Sweetness is unpleasant, what's more, almost mediciney. Not much else to mention, nothing really to recommend here.
Mouthfeel is oddly thick and syrupy considering it looks so light in body. Completely unpleasant.
Having badmouthed it enough, it does complement my Japanese teriyaki combo quite well. The sweetness still makes it a bit of a struggle, but for what it is it's not undrinkable. Just reminds me why I don't like Jap lagers.

12 oz can, thanks to Bobsy for bringing this back from Japan.
Pours a clear yellow, thin white head forms, quite fizzy, disappears pretty quick and settles to a very thin ring. Smell is sweet and corny, corn sugar, honey, grass, hay, slightly vegetal, not so good. Taste is similar, very sweet and corny, hay, grass, kind of tastes like corn flakes with sugar on them, crackery, candi like sweetness in the finish. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation, not very good. Pretty adjuncty tasting, but could be worse. Thanks Rob!

Can brought back from Japan by Bobsy, quite the world traveler that fellow. Pours a light light golden with a little head, almost as light as a wheat beer.
Nose is promising. Some hefty caramel malts for a pils, a touch of grassiness coming through - and then a good whiff of corn. Too bad.
Taste is corn flakes and sugar with a light dash of grains thrown in. Ridiculously light with a slight veggie hop finish. Certainly not an exemplary pils.

as you can obviously see in the beer pic pictured, this comes in a cool can, nice design. i've reviewed a few others by this brewery, all out of a can, and i must comment on how many good-great beers i've had out of a can here in japan.
average pils appearance, nothing special. golden, fizzy. the head is fat and foamy, big bubbles. not a lot of retention or lacing. a little disappointing, echigo pilsner doesn't look great to me, but there is lots to smell. fits what i expect from a german pilsener, definitely a notable presence of those noble hops described in the style description. very hoppy.
the taste does not disappoint, there is a serious bitterness. i believe this beer delivers what is expected, it is close enough to what i believe the style should be. it's well balanced, and a great beer after a hot work day. i would say worth a try. for my money i'll go with kinshachi blue.

This beer comes in an impressive gold can with the Echigo drinking goat emblem on it. They advertise being the first microbrewery in Japan as well. Ingredients are malt and hops (says its 100% malt and uses Czech aromatic hops).
Besides the cool can though, this beer disappoints utterly lacking head, coming through only with the dark yellow color. Sweet, syrupy malty smell doesn't disappoint however and is the highlight of this beer for me.
The taste is pilsener, no doubt--with a real good punch of hops both in the mouth and afterwards. Mouthfeel is OK, with solid initial carbonation which quickly fades. There's also a nice well under-control roasted grain taste, which adds to rather than dominating the palate, which I've noticed in a few other try-hard Japanese "premium" offerings.
Well-balanced beer. This is a good pilsener!

Sampled on tap at Popeye in Tokyo.
This pilsner poured a clear, straw color with creamy, tall, slightly off-white foam that did not leave lace. The smell was very faint, but some malt aroma could be detected. The taste was a slightly sweet, malty taste with hints of hops. There was almost a honey-like flavor with some hops in the finish. The mouthfeel was smooth and clean with medium-light body and moderate carbonation. This was a decent pilsner with a bit of an unorthodox flavor.
