GCH1 gene and Parkinson's risk
A study published in Brain, led by researchers
at UCL Institute of Neurology, has shown that genetic mutations which
cause a decrease in dopamine
production in the brain and lead to a form of childhood-onset Dystonia,
also play a role in the development of Parkinson's disease.
The new Leonard Wolfson Experimental Neurology Centre (LWENC) has opened for clinical studies and trials
LRRK2 and autophagy in fibroblasts
In this paper Claudia Manzoni studies how fibroblast
cells from people with Parkinson's disease caused by mutations in LRRK2
react to starvation. Although the changes are quite subtle, there are
differences between the way that fibroblasts that contain mutant LRRK2
respond to being starved – suggesting that there may be changes in the
way that these cells regulate a key process called autophagy (a term
which comes from the greek meaning to eat yourself, and is one of the
ways that cells get rid of waste and recycle proteins and organellles).
Genetic mutations linked to Parkinson's disease
Research led by consortium researchers Dr Helene Plun-Favreau (UCL Institute of Neurology) and Dr Alex Whitworth (University of Sheffield), and collaborator Dr Heike Laman (University of Cambridge), has discovered how genetic mutations linked to Parkinson's disease might play a key role in the death of brain cells, potentially paving the way for the development of more effective drug treatments. In the new study, published in Nature Neuroscience, the team of cross-institutional researchers showed how defects in the Parkinson's gene Fbxo7 cause problems with mitophagy. More...
LRRK2 and autophagy
Mutations in LRRK2 are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease. Here, Claudia Manzoni talks about her research (funded by the Rosetrees Trust and the Michael J. Fox Foundation) into what LRRK2 might be doing within the cell: Parkinson's disease is a brain illness that afflicts 1 in 500 people in the UK. High profile patients, such as the actor Michael J Fox, the boxer Muhammad Ali and the late Pope John Paul II, have raised public awareness of Parkinson's and its devastating impact. More...
Adamantios Mamais
(Research Associate)
I hold a multi-disciplinary research background having had the opportunity to study and investigate many aspects of cell biology leading to human disease. Having completed a BSc in Molecular Biology at University College London in 2001, I pursued an MSc in Molecular Medicine, at the same university, that equipped me with a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms and consequences that give rise to pathology, when the blue-prints of nature go wrong.
My academic studies cultivated my enthusiasm on the molecular events of human disease, while I had the chance to work on proteins involved in gastrulation and synaptic neurotransmission, and also tumour targeting drugs, during my BSc/MSc research projects respectively. During a summer placement at the UCL Institute of Neurology I was involved in a project investigating the mechanistics of filopodia formation in developing neurons. I then joined the Institute of Cancer Research for two years as a Scientific Officer to investigate nucleosomal positioning and chromatin remodelling mechanisms in V(D)J recombination. In 2005 I focused my research skills and experience in pursuing a PhD at the UCL Institute of Neurology, in the lab of Prof Louis Lim and Dr Christine Hall, investigating novel mechanisms of interplay between cytoskeletal remodelling factors involved in neuronal differentiation and mRNA binding factors involved in local translation in axons and formation of Stress Granules.
In 2010, I joined the team of Dr Rina Bandopadhyay and Dr Patrick Lewis at the Reta Lila Weston Institute, UCL Institute of Neurology, as a post-doc Research Associate, and I am currently investigating the molecular events that underlie LRRK2 associated Parkinson's disease. My research utilises the invaluable resource of post-mortem human brain tissue from Parkinson's cases, provided by the Queen Square Brain Bank. We are focusing on the post-translational modifications and neuropathological features of two LRRK2 putative partners in disease, a-Synuclein and 4E-BP1. Furthermore, I have initiated a novel project investigating the role of mutated LRRK2 in mRNA Stress Granule formation, recently involved in pathologic protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases.

This was a horrifying account of one child's survival of abuse. I found the writing to be lacking, but the story itself was compelling. I would definitely caution readers before reading this book -- it is incredibly upsetting.

Facebook may have changed the way we communicate, keep up with long lost friends and pretend that we're doing actual work in the office, but it has come at a great cost to privacy. Now the federal government is forcing the social networking giant to ask all 800 million of their users if they wish to "opt out" of certain settings and features that might expose some of their personal information to the entire world.
We applaud these efforts to ensure our privacy, and we think it should be taken even further. Facebook should not only make sure that our most sensitive information isn't exposed to the general public, but they should also ask us if we want to "opt out" of the most annoying causes of social networking headaches that have spread like some virtual flesh eating bacteria that cannot be stopped.

For the record, Ashley Monroe is featured on a Train song, "Bruises", from their new album.
Thanks for the tip Leeann. Might have to give that one a listen.
What would be shocking is if Caitlin Rose covered some vintage Connie Smith or Tammy Wynette…

Wolverine Power Cooperative recently announced a proposal for a $100 million natural gas-based power plant in Elmira Township, which is expected to provide electricity in Northern Michigan and the rest of the state.
The proposal calls for a plant to be located east of Elmira on M-32, about a quarter of a mile east of Flott Road. The entire operation would come with a cost in excess of $100 million and sit on 170 acres of land — two 40-acre parcels, one 80-acre parcel and a 10-acre parcel.
EthosEnergy recently completed a contract for the supply of new manufactured combustion components for TransCanada's Ocean States power plant. The standard combustion liners and transition pieces were installed in a GE Frame 7EA gas turbine at the Rhode Island site.
TransCanada required short cycle delivery of components for a scheduled outage and EthosEnergy's approach provided the necessary confidence to guarantee on-time delivery, extended warranties, and full OEM parts interchangeability.
Siemens recently handed over three gas turbines and one steam turbine to Dow Stade for a new 163 MW cogeneration power plant.
Morgan Advanced Materials carried out a project recently in collaboration with an engine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and a casting foundry, to develop a next generation low bio-persistent Alkaline Earth Silicate (AES) wool insulation that can replace RCF in the casting of gas turbine blades.
GE recently signed a contract with ENKA to supply power generation equipment for a new 750MW combined cycle plant being developed by Qaiwan Group in Iraq. GE will provide four 9E gas turbines and one steam turbine for a new power plant in Sulaimaniyah.
Heavy-duty turbine technology
Caterpillar's Board of Directors has named Pablo Koziner, 41, currently vice president with responsibility for the Americas Distribution Services Division, as a Caterpillar vice president and the president of Solar Turbines, a global supplier of gas turbine systems and services.
KEPL, a manufacturer of "API process pumps" and API steam turbines, has announced the launch of India's first indigenously-developed next generation API steam turbine 'K-Tur'.
K-Tur is said to be among the most efficient single-stage turbines with a wide spectrum of interesting features such as steam shields, blade-tip seals and reusable bearing liners. The steam turbine uses profile blading, which helps in reducing the windage losses, thus improving its efficiency. K-Tur machine is also said to have the facility of installing mechanical seals instead of the normal carbon rings.
Four companies have jointly proposed an $8-billion green energy initiative that would link wind farms to an energy storage facility and bring large amounts of clean electricity to the Los Angeles area by 2023. The project would require construction of a wind farm in Wyoming, an energy storage facility in Utah, and a 525-mile electric transmission line connecting the two sites. A key component of the project – a massive underground energy storage facility – would yield 1,200 MW.
LPP Combustion, LLC presented a live demonstration of the company's Lean, Pre-Mixed, Pre-vaporized (LPP) solution on Friday, October 3, 2014, at North Dakota State University. The company's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Richard (Rick) Roby, led the demonstration titled, LPP Oilfield Power System fueled by NGLs/Y-grade.
GE recently won an order worth more than $500 million to provide air-cooled H machines to U.S.-based Exelon. The order includes four GE 7HA gas turbines, two D600 steam turbines, six generators and a contractual service agreement for the Wolf Hollow and Colorado Bend combined-cycle power plant (CCPP) projects.

DEFINITION of 'ECB Announcement '
An announcement by the European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council after their first meeting of the month which is devoted to monetary policy. The ECB Announcement comes about 45 minutes after the meeting in a press conference, and details their actions or lack of actions decided in the meeting.
Because the ECB does not publish the minutes of its meetings, the ECB Announcement is important to gather information regarding upcoming interest rate policy.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'ECB Announcement '
European market participants speculate on the possibilities of an interest rate change at these meetings. The ECB has a target rate for inflation, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), of 2%. Interest rates are changed to help maintain an inflation rate close to their target. As with interest rate speculation in other markets, if the ECB Announcement provides information different from the speculation, severe market impact is usually seen.
A general rule to keep in mind when interpreting central bank data such as that released in this announcement, is that higher interest rates are bearish for equity markets, while lower rates are bullish.

The 10 US States With the Greatest Love Stories
Earlier this week, we noticed this map of the country, with a literary love story assigned to each state, over at Amazon. Though the US (and the world) has no shortage of amazing novels of passion, we're betting you don't have time to read 50 novels during this the most romantic of months. To help you out (and in case you want to get the perfect book for that special someone this week), we've picked the ten states that we think have the all-time best love stories in American literature.

10 Album Covers You Didn't Know Were Created by Famous Artists
Sure, everybody knows that Andy Warhol did the artwork to The Velvet Underground and Nico and Sticky Fingers, and that Annie Leibovitz did the cover shot for Born in the USA. But honestly, from what you read on the Internet sometimes, you'd think they're the only two artists to have ever moonlighted in designing record covers. That's of course not the case at all — plenty of other renowned artists have been responsible for cover artwork over the years. Indeed, we've addressed this topic before, but with Grizzly Bear's Shields out this week — complete with a sleeve featuring a painting by figurative painter Richard Diebenkorn — we thought we'd have a look at some other great record sleeves you may not have known were designed by famous contemporary artists.

10 Graphic Novels That Would Make Awesome TV Shows
To our delight, we recently found out that one of our favorite graphic novelists, Daniel Clowes, is working on a pilot for HBO. Though Clowes's new TV show is apparently an original, the news got us thinking about great graphic novels that we think would be absolutely perfect for television. Note: for simplicity's sake, we've excluded graphic novels that have already been made into movies (Clowes's Ghost World, Persepolis, Watchmen) or are best known as series (Sandman, Tintin). Click through to check out which graphic novels we desperately want to see for six seasons and a movie, and then let us know which ones you'd watch on the small screen in the comments. … Read More

BancorpSouth is expanding its local footprint with the construction of an 8,000-square-foot office building on Settlers Trace Boulevard, which will serve as a headquarters for the Mississippi-based company's Acadiana offices, and will also mean the hiring of additional employees upon its completion early next year.
With the ground cleared and construction expected to get under way before summer's end, Ken Judice, BancorpSouth's top Acadiana executive, says the Settlers Trace office should open its doors for business within the first quarter of 2014.
"It will be ready sometime after Jan. 1, and hopefully before Mardi Gras if all goes according to plan," Judice tells ABiz.
The two existing Lafayette offices — including a full-service branch on Rue Jean Lafitte and a loan production office on Silverstone Road in River Ranch — will merge into one with the opening of the Settlers Trace office.
The new location will also create up to six additional jobs — both executive and entry-level positions. Those new hires, Judice tells ABiz, will be added to the existing 18 employees working at the Lafayette, Broussard and New Iberia branches.
"Our performance here in South Louisiana has been very positive, and Lafayette is one of the top performing markets within the franchise," says Judice. "Everything we're hearing from corporate about the South Louisiana market here has been extremely positive and confident, especially in regards to Lafayette."

Aug 10, 2011You will love it though if you chose the Weird Wasteland perk, loved the Vault filled with Garys in 3, or just don't mind playing through an extremely funny and well-written DLC pack that throws interesting surprises at you all the time, rewards exploration greatly, and packs more imagination and play-time in it than nearly every other full-priced game out there.
Aug 2, 2011It's sad, scary, kooky, weird and wonderful: everything that we love about the Fallout universe.
Jul 25, 2011Despite the limitations, this is probably the best DLC addon for Fallout period.
Jul 25, 2011With more than 13 hours' worth of fun, hilarious, and classic Fallout content, Fallout: new Vegas -- Old World Blues is a must for any New Vegas owner.
Jul 22, 2011Put simply, if you own Fallout: New Vegas, this one's, well, a no-brainer.

Jul 20, 2011Finally! A New Vegas DLC that was worth the wait. Better than Dead Money, and MUCH better than Honest Hearts, Old World Blues gets the exploration/combat/story mix exactly right. Sci-fi campy without going over into stupid, it's actually made me laugh a few times, and think, "Thats really twisted.." at others.
The characters you meet are... unique, to say the least, but interesting and funny, too. The voiceovers are very well done and fit each NPC nicely. Some of the architectural design is a refreshing change from the standard "vault interior" we've all come to know so well, and is a pleasure to explore.
Highly recomended. You're nuts if you don't pick this up! (IMHO)… Full Review »
Jul 22, 2011Campy, intelligent and very humourous dialogues. Long, but even if you are itching for action you`ll listen to every bit. And action? There`s plenty of it. And all in "science fiction comedy horror" flavour that this DLC sells so well. Compared to Honest Hearts, you won`t find yourself bored as often. Compared to Dead Money you won`t be replaying some parts as often. And overall, this DLC can easily measure up to some of Fallout 3 DLCs that we enjoyed in soo much (Point Lookout, The Pitt)...
More return fo your invested time (and money), definitely.
"Merril4Life" - It`s sad when DLCs have to salvage the game taht could have been so much more. DA2 is NOT epic, awesome and intricate. Look towards DA:O for that. Not to mention that this page has absolutely nothing to do with Dragon age 2...… Full Review »
Aug 2, 2011I thought the voice work was uneven and character interaction is uneven. I didn't get much of a story about the place like you do in the other DLCs and the main game. I'm mixed about the exteriors and the interiors are few and are more of the same. Not very much interns of good loot, so bring lots of armor and hard hitting guns. You are more often than not mobbed by large groups of tough enemies. The DLC really pushes you toward unarmed, melee and energy weapon skills which are of dubious use in the rest of the game, IMHO.… Full Review »

The lead is a watercan somewhat similar to this one:
but made of plastic. I 'played' it using a wet towel on the handle.
This caused the partly water-filled body to resonate, an effect I
discovered while cleaning the living room :)
There are some effects on it, but they don't alter the sound much.
The wet signal is fed through a delay before the reverb to have a
big room without muddying up the main signal. That's what it's
supposed to achieve, at least :)
Everything else is made of samples from my Windows days, as this
thing started as a Cubase session (without the can). Quite a number
of effects on it, most notably several instances of an Auto Phaser.
The idea behind it was and is to make some kind of alien ethno
music :)
