The phosphaturic activity of intact, full-length, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is well documented. FGF-23 circulates as the intact protein and as fragments generated as the result of proteolysis of the full-length protein. To assess whether short fragments of FGF-23 are phosphaturic, we compared the effect of acute, equimolar infusions of full-length FGF-23 and various FGF-23 fragments carboxyl-terminal to amino acid 176. In rats, intravenous infusions of full-length FGF-23 and FGF-23 176–251 significantly and equivalently increased fractional phosphate excretion (FE Pi) from 14 ± 3 to 32 ± 5% and 15 ± 2 to 33 ± 2% (p < 0.001), respectively. Chronic administration of FGF-23 176–251 reduced serum Pi and serum concentrations of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Shorter forms of FGF-23 (FGF-23 180–251 and FGF-23 184–251) retained phosphaturic activity. Further shortening of the FGF-23 carboxyl-terminal domain, however, abolished phosphaturic activity, as infusion of FGF-23 206–251 did not increase urinary phosphate excretion. Infusion of a short fragment of the FGF-23 molecule, FGF-23 180–205, significantly increased FE Pi in rats and reduced serum Pi in hyperphosphatemic Fgf-23 −/− knockout mice. The activity of FGF-23 180–251 was confirmed in opossum kidney cells in which the peptide reduced Na+-dependent Pi uptake and enhanced internalization of the Na+-Pi IIa co-transporter. We conclude that carboxyl terminal fragments of FGF-23 are phosphaturic and that a short, 26-amino acid fragment of FGF-23 retains significant phosphaturic activity.

Former Cubs pitcher Randy Wells retires
Apr 30, 2013, 5:18 PM EST
Randy Wells, who pitched for the Cubs from 2008-2012 and unsuccessfully competed for a spot in the Rangers' starting rotation this spring, has retired at age 30 according to Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram.
Wells had been pitching at Triple-A Round Rock, where he went 0-4 with a 6.08 ERA in five starts. He pitched a total of 529 innings in the majors with a 4.08 ERA and 345/189 K/BB ratio, including an impressive 2009 rookie season in which he won a dozen games with a 3.05 ERA.
- Chip Caray's Eyebrows - Apr 30, 2013 at 10:01 PM
I'm only leaving this comment so that if Randy happens to read the blog, he won't have to be disappointed that nobody cared enough to talk about his retirement. Happy trails, Mr. Wells.
- tuberippin - Apr 30, 2013 at 10:16 PM
Something about former Cubs pitchers who had a good opening to their careers…it ends far too quick. Obviously we can point out the Mark Prior fiasco until the cows come home, but Randy Wells' 2009 season reminds me of Rich Hill's 2007 season. Alas, both never really put it together ever again, at least as starters.
Best of luck to Wells in the future. Hope he saved some of that $4 million he earned during his career.

Report: Elfrid Payton to enter the NBA Draft
Apr 21, 2014, 11:20 AM EST
Louisiana-Lafayette point guard Elfrid Payton will enter the NBA Draft on Monday, according to a report from Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com.
MORE: The entire list of players entering the Draft
Payton averaged 19.2 points, 6.0 boards, 5.9 assists and 2.3 steals as a junior for the Ragin' Cajuns, who made a run to the NCAA tournament this season. And while he has played three seasons at the collegiate level, Payton is young for his age; he was on the Team USA U-19 team last summer, a group made up of guys that were mostly freshmen or sophomore this past year. Jahlil Okafor, who was a high school senior this past season, was on that team as well.
MORE: Payton's breakout summer a result of all-star camp snub
Payton came out of relative obscurity to make that team. He was barely recruited coming out of high school, stuck as a young senior on a good high school team whose best player was also a point guard. But he grew a couple inches, and physically matured as well, during his time on the UL campus.
At 6-foot-3, Payton is an athletic point guard with long arms. He can really get after it on the defensive end of the floor, and he's terrific in transition and when he can get a lane and a head of steam going to the basket. Where he struggles is with his ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter. He's not a lock to get drafted in the first round, but he's projected to fall somewhere in that 20-40 range.

As for the "talking to himself," it was Sunday. Maybe he was coming from or going to church, and was praying aloud. If so, I'd also sue for infringement of my first amendment right of religion. The gun wasn't out, wasn't being waved around, the guy was on the sidewalk, wasn't bothering anyone, and can open carry in that state. So what happens? A local cop draws his weapon on him and forces him onto the freezing sidewalk though he hasnt' broken any laws. I guess for some of the posters on here, the cops can stop you from walking, or going to church, or any other right, just because someone is "concerned."

Then this James Manning was no historian and an idiot. Look at the pyramids sometime. There was an entire fleet from West Africa that sailed towarrd the new world for commerce decades before Columbus; even Columbus writes in his journals that he saw the remnants of ships on some of the American beaches that resembled African-type sailing vessels. Egypt, Ethiopia, Mali, etc. had thriving civilizations. By your standards, the Babylonians did nothing, nor the Sumerians, nor the Phoenicians. Try looking at history sometime.

"if black folk make up 15% of the U.S. population and make up 75% of the prison population, what are we to deduce? In "Realville" one would say that black folk are more prone to crime. In your PC world, the "white devils" are the problem because they've made too many criminal activities a crime! If facts, statistic's and the truth are racist, then I'm proud to be one."
Or maybe there are more blacks in prison because they can't afford good lawyers, and most people actually brought to trial are convicted. Maybe more blacks are 'prone to crime' because they can't get out of the ghetto's endless cycle of poverty brought on by cultural problems such as unwed pregnancies/fatherless homes. Put those same illiterate ghetto kids into a private school and watch them change overnight. Education matters; being stuck in second-rate inner city government run schools is destroying the black community. When those kids get to go to a real school with real textbooks and teachers who are better educated themselves, those kids do much better. It's not genetic, it's socio-economic and cultural and a lack of opportunity. And as long as there are racists who won't hire blacks, won't give them opportunities because they perceive them as less, then they will continue to have fewer options
Perhaps you'll say, though, that it is also a racial trait in black dna to have fatherless homes and to be less intelligent than whites. I can't argue logic with
April 8, 2012 at 8:12pm
Krebs and Maccow, I'm with you both on this. Black communities are not more violent or illiterate compared to white communities because they are black. They are, on average, more violent and illiterate because of cultural and socio-economic reasons, such as poverty. Here's something from a teacher's perspective:
Just taking literacy and education as an example: in both white and black households where there is readily available reading material such as books, newspapers, magazines, etc., the children in those households tend to make better grades in school, whether they be white, black, hispanic, asian, or whatever. Where materials lack, student performance also is lower across all races.
Derby is a racist; he admitted that back in a 2003 interview with RedState contributor Kevin Holtsberry. According to RedState archives, Derby said, "I am a homophobe, though a mild and tolerant one, and a racist, though an even more mild and tolerant one, and those things are going to be illegal pretty soon, the way we are going."
I refuse to judge people based on their race. If I see a group of white youths in hoodies and low-hanging pants, I walk on the other side of the street just as I would if I saw a group of black youths like that.
For Derby to attempt to soft-peddle his racism by saying that it's not all blacks, but on average they are less than whites, it is still racism.

I agree; I am shocked by the majority of postings here in this thread. To think that there are this many racists trolling TheBlaze is horrible!
I saw a great program of Glen Beck ( I believe) on FoxNews a year or so back, where an inner-city school that was predominantly black was failing miserably in all ways academically. New leadership came in, made huge changes such as instituting a dress code, hiring more qualified teachers, etc. The change in student grades was incredible! It wasn't a racial problem that they had, it was socio-economic problems that were keeping those kids from succeeding!
Derby believes there is more crime, violence, illiteracy, etc. in poor/urban black communities simply because they are black. The truth is that the current urban culture and socio-economic problems are to blame, not race.
Hate is taught; children are not naturally born racists. When I was a kid in a poor neighborhood (we all lived in trailers/mobile homes), I had neighbors who were white, black, Philippino, Thai, etc. We all played together just great. When you're a kid and you want to play, you don't care what the other kid looks like or what his race or religion are, you just want someone to play with. People think all Southerners must be racists, but we're not. That was our neighborhood, and we were a bunch of poor southerners in north Florida. We had no violence, no shootings, no ganges. In Derby's world, our kind of neighborhood can't exist.

Encinom said, "1st Amendment trumps the whiny convservatives. If conservatives can not deal with it they sit on their thumbs and move to some facist country more to their liking."
Um, aren't we allowed to claim that 1st Amendment right, too, and complain on here if we want to? Or would you rather people only express opinions that you agree with, rather than truly having freedom of speech? Oh wait, you want us all to leave to another country, so I guess you gave the answer. You're no more tolerant than anyone else based on your post, no matter how you may pretend to be.
And as for fascist countries, they're the ones built on cults of personality, just as this flag represents. Think of all of the walls with portraits of dictators on them around the world for the last 100 years and more. Tyrants put their likeness up to be worshipped and adored, and their sycophantic followers put them up as well, then tell others to leave the country if they don't like it. We'll not give you the satisfaction. You'll just have to endure being around those who disagree with you just as we endure your opinions. Welcome to America!
April 7, 2012 at 12:40am
Putting his likeness on the flag is disgusting. I would not even want George Washington's likeness on the flag, as much as I admire him. It's as if they've replaced the 50 states with Obama, as if he makes up this Union, rather than We The People. Soon his face will be all over the place on walls and billboards like Che or Mao or Lenin. Typical of tyrants. Big Brother is watching you!
April 3, 2012 at 4:42pm
Exactly. A hateful so-called 'Christian' is going to the same place as an atheist who denies God. You know where a person stands spiritually by the fruit they bear, as Christ said. An apple tree cannot bear oranges, nor an orange tree apples. A person full of hate cannot also be full of God (God is love, 1 John 4). They can be angry, and can even hate some things, such as sin and evil (Ecclesiastes 3: there is a time to love, and a time to hate). But they cannot be filled with hate and be a Christian. Galations 5: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. Can a Christian sin? Of course. They're forgiven, not perfect. Caveat: this is from a Biblical point of view, and I'm aware that not everyone believes in the Bible. This is just giving the perspective from a Biblical point of view, not trying to impose my views on anyone else. In a free country, everyone can believe whatever he or she wants, and that's a good thing.

I am currently teaching this work in my middle school classes, and I teach at a private, religious school.

Funny, it was the first book on the Catholic Church's list of banned books back around 700 years ago. I guess not much changes in the world.

Pigs are not eaten by many people other then Muslims, including Orthodox Jews, they continue to adhere to old ways, but they don't thrust their beliefs on others.

Better yet, show the pig crapping on the flag, and then show her in a bikini and Hijab wiping the pigs butt with another ISIS Flag. I think she's foolish endangering herself and entire family by making her identity known, but, applaud her spunk, not her modesty. Pigs when given the opportunity are one of the cleanest and most intelligent of the animal world., they're no longer feared for Trichinosis. Just as water is now drank, in place of wine. When these laws were made, it was out of necessity, just as meatless Fridays were created by the Catholic church to help the fisherman, but you don't think this was imposed, on people living in regions with few fish do you ? So don't slaughter Pigs (the animal) or PIGS (People In God's Service) for an outdated rule of religion.

Tell that to the government that, customarily gives subsidies, and discriminates against anyone they feel like! Hypocrites !

They're just pissed there aren't businesses that give discounts to non-believers, if there was I'd be there demanding a discount as a believer! NOT !!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, keeping the Sabbath means closing businesses, not opening one on the Sabbath. Discounts are given for all kinds of reasons, who cares, but, a minion of the most evil?

They won't attack us until the Progressives, successfully remove the 2nd Amendment and sign the small arms agreement with the UN that effectively disarms the US.
We are being taken over from within, by our own government, We should be arming our citizens not disarming them, the 2nd Amendment was to prevent such a tyrannical Gov. By the time the uninformed wake up it'll be to late.

Hi: 11° Lo:7°
By Ian Dipple Thursday 10 July 2014 Updated: 11/07 16:01
A LAST ditch bid is being made to stop a piece of Redditch's history from disappearing forever.
Members of the Point in Time group are facing a four day race against time to save the former Abel Morrall needle factory which is due to be demolished on Monday (July 14).
A campaign was launched last month to try and raise £1million in public donations to save the derelict building next to the Railway Station and turn it into a working museum and a centre of craft excellence.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has indicated its support for the project and has granted the group a start-up fund to help demonstrate the scheme is viable before further funding is considered.
But while the owners of the building have expressed their support for the idea they want to go-ahead with the demolition while the railway line is closed due to work upgrading the track being carried out by Network Rail.
Sharon Burton Fletcher, from the Point in Time group, said unless they could demonstrate they had the ability to raise the £1million by the end of the week they would miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to save the site.
"We have a plan to transform the site into an arts, crafts and heritage centre for learning and leisure that would become the envy of the county and would sit at the heart of Redditch's creative community," she said.
"Our appeal is urgent. We have only days to act before the bulldozers move in. Once that happens there is no return and this exciting opportunity, to make a positive contribution to both the local and wider community will be lost forever."
The site has a long history of needle production dating back to the mid-18th century. Prior to 1785 Redditch needle maker T Banks and then H Lewis manufactured on the site. Able Morrall relocated from Studley in 1898 and continued trading as the Aero Group until the 1990s.
Anyone who can help with the appeal should contact Sharon Burton Fletcher on 07889478631.

"I wanted a simple card that would highlight the photo I chose. This one is perfect. I chose the rounded edges rather than the one displayed. Tiny prints comes through again!"
"Our card pictured our 5 grandchildren wearing light aqua and white tops standing on our tree lined dirt road. The color of the card was perfect for the clothes the children were wearing. We usually take the Christmas card picture at the beach so now I know we'll be able to select a card that will look good with the clothes the children will be wearing and the background. It was important to us to have Merry Christmas printed on the card and this card was perfect. Card stock was better than expected and service was great. I did need help and received excellent service over the phone. We love the cards!"
"Great company. Great designs. Nice paper. Love the option to print matching return address labels. Delivered on time. Easy to manuever website. My friends ask where I got my Christmas cards so they also love everything about them.This is my second Christmas to buy cards from them. Very pleased with the product and the service."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"I love the options we had to choose from for our holiday cards. They came out perfect, came quickly in the mail and had address labels and envelopes that matched perfectly. The quality of this product is awesome; that is why we continuously use Tiny Prints for our holiday cards, graduation invites etc."

Gran Turismo 5 accelerates to number one in the UK chart
Black Ops unseated
The perennially delayed racing sim Gran Turismo 5 has managed to debut straight in a number one in the UK charts.
Sony's flagship racing title managed to muscle Call of Duty: Black Ops off the top spot despite being a PS3 exclusive title.
Black Ops only slipped to second still fending off Assassin's Creed Brotherhood which dropped to third.
Rounding off the top five are FIFA 11 which continues to sell well in the build up to Christmas and Just Dance 2 hangs on in there in fifth place.
Thanks MCV.

Andrew Strauss doesn't pose, shout, or try to shove all his players into one mould. Being his own man may just be his greatest virtue
Ed Smith
August 15, 2012
Related Links
Players/Officials: Andrew Strauss | Kevin Pietersen
Series/Tournaments: South Africa tour of England
Teams: England
Andrew Strauss plays his 100th Test for England tomorrow. I was an exact contemporary of Strauss - at school, university and in county cricket. Few predicted he would play 100 Tests. Indeed, Strauss himself would have laughed at the idea when he was starting out as a cricketer. Owais Shah, not Strauss, was the teenage Middlesex prodigy. Not that Strauss minded not being the centre of attention. Waiting for the right moment, biding his time - that is the hallmark of his distinguished career.
Some sportsmen declare their hand at the outset. Graeme Smith always said he wanted to captain South Africa when he was still a kid. Strauss, in contrast, is not someone to reveal his hand so lightly. Did he always have deep ambitions that were hidden by his self-effacing English reserve? Or did he only realise by increments - as he gradually worked his way through the field - that he could go so far, as a player and a captain? I've never been sure of the answer. Perhaps he isn't either.
In one crucial respect, Strauss has never changed. He has always had the social and psychological confidence to be himself. As a player, he has never puffed out his chest in phony displays of patriotic guts and determination. As a captain, he is more interested in calmness and balance than show-off field placings or macho arm-waving.
Being yourself is the most underrated virtue in sport, as we've learnt once again during the London Olympics. Some sports psychologists have argued that athletes could unlock hidden potential if they adopted the same uber-relaxed, super-confident pre-race routine as Usain Bolt.
I take the opposite view. The lesson of Usain Bolt (apart from the obvious one: be more talented than everyone else) is the profound value of being yourself. Watch again the few seconds before the 200 metre final, as the sprinters are introduced to the crowd. Bolt, of course, does his usual showman act - clowning and gesturing, looking at once intimidating and relaxed.
The revealing thing is that all the other sprinters awkwardly followed his example, trying to project the aura of Bolt without the underlying conviction. The American sprinter Wallace Spearmon stared into the camera lens as he shouted with bristling machismo, "My time, my time!" - all of which did nothing to persuade anyone that it was his time, but merely reinforced the truth that it was Bolt's.
Like Bolt, a very few lucky cricketers - such as Sir Vivian Richards or Ian Chappell - are naturally ultimate alpha males. The rest have to reach an accommodation with the fact that they are extremely good performers without being kings of the jungle. The most common mistake is to copy the wrong example - to try to be something you're not - like the sprinters who try to act like Bolt without being Bolt.
During the period of Australian supremacy, England teams wasted too much energy trying to behave like Australians, as though the skills would follow naturally from the style. But it doesn't work like that. Being yourself is always the best policy.
Strauss has been the master of being himself. Like Mark Taylor, he has never tried to hide the fact that he is a courteous, measured and controlled person. He has never got sucked into behaving like an alpha male show-off. That innate confidence has allowed the England team to grow up.
The most effective captains do not impose their own personality on the group; they encourage the team to develop its own authentic voice. Strauss celebrates diversity rather trying to shoehorn all players into one model. "I wouldn't want to captain a team in which everyone is like me," he has said. It gets to the heart of his captaincy.
And yet, for all his achievements, Strauss takes to the field in his 100th Test under undeniable pressure. He has just endured one of the most difficult spells of his captaincy. On the field, England have suffered a poor 2012 in Tests. Whatever happens at Lord's, they have failed to win a home series against a great rival.
Off the pitch, the estrangement of Kevin Pietersen from the England management (more on this in a moment) has been an uncomfortable circus for everyone involved. And it would be only human, for a player about to win his 100th cap, to regret that the Pietersen issue has dominated the lead-up to such an important Test.
|Strauss has been the master of being himself. Like Mark Taylor, he has never tried to hide the fact that he is a courteous, measured and controlled person
But paradoxically, when he looks back at his England career, Strauss may be grateful that he entered his 100th Test with so much riding on the result. Far from being an easy lap of honour, Strauss' 100th Test is exactly that - another test of character. And sport - as Strauss knows very well - is at its most rewarding when it is most challenging.
A fortnight ago I added a second, shorter item to my column to accommodate an instinct I had about Kevin Pietersen. It seemed to me, looking from the outside, that something big was about to happen. I had no evidence beyond a deep-seated hunch. Pietersen had been looking increasingly distant and hurt, and the England management seemed to be losing patience.
But I noticed years ago that Pietersen often plays at his scintillating best when he feels wronged. And he did just that once more. His 149 at Headingley was one of the great innings played for England in the modern era. When it is a case of "KP against the world", he is capable of almost anything.
Is there any way, I wonder, that Pietersen can access that strand of his personality - the resilient individualism and epic self-belief that defined his Headingley hundred - without actually orchestrating a situation where it really is "KP against the world"?
Can't he just imagine life is like that - that he has a giant score to settle with the world - while, in fact, behaving normally, just like everyone else?
I hope so. Because it seems a terrible curse if he must experience genuine turmoil to access his deepest talents.
