Defective Autophagy Triggers Type II Diabetes in Mouse Model
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 04 Aug 2014
Image: This beta cell that has non-functioning autophagy shows increased oxidative damage (stained in red) in the pancreatic islets (shown in white) (Photo courtesy of UCLA - University of California, Los Angeles).
A defect in the cellular cleansing process known as autophagy in individuals with type II diabetes causes the build-up of toxic beta-cell amyloid polypeptide (IAPP or amylin), a scenario similar to the build-up of beta amyloid peptides (Abeta) in Alzheimer's disease.
Autophagy is a self-degradative cellular process that is important for balancing sources of energy at critical times in development and in response to nutrient stress. Autophagy also plays a housekeeping role in removing misfolded or aggregated proteins, clearing damaged organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes, as well as eliminating intracellular pathogens. Thus, autophagy is generally thought of as a survival mechanism, although its deregulation has been linked to non-apoptotic cell death. Autophagy can be either non-selective or selective in the removal of specific organelles, ribosomes and protein aggregates, although the mechanisms regulating aspects of selective autophagy are not fully understood.
Investigators at the University of California, Los Angeles (USA) linked a defect in autophagy to the excess of IAPP seen in patients with type II diabetes. One of the defining features of type II diabetes is insulin resistance. This is a condition wherein the body is unable to utilize insulin effectively, resulting in increased insulin production. Since proinsulin and proIAPP are secreted together, this results in an increase in the production of proIAPP as well. IAPP is a 37-residue peptide hormone that plays a role in glycemic regulation by slowing gastric emptying and promoting satiety, thereby preventing postprandial spikes in blood glucose levels.
For this study the investigators created a novel mouse model that expressed autophagy defects specifically in beta-cells with expression of the human form of islet amyloid polypeptide.
Results published in the July 18, 2014, online edition of the
Journal of Clinical Investigation
revealed that mice that were hemizygous for transgenic expression of human IAPP did not develop diabetes; however, loss of beta-cell-specific autophagy in these animals induced diabetes, which was attributable to accumulation of toxic human IAPP oligomers and loss of beta-cell mass. In human IAPP-expressing mice that lacked beta-cell autophagy, increased oxidative damage and loss of an antioxidant-protective pathway appeared to contribute to increased beta-cell apoptosis. These findings indicated that autophagy/lysosomal degradation defended beta-cells against toxicity induced by the oligomerization-prone human IAPP.
"Only a few previous studies have reported that autophagy is important for beta cell function and survival," said contributing author Dr. Safia Costes, a postdoctoral researcher in endocrinology, diabetes, and hypertension at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Those studies, however, were not conducted to address the role of this process in the regulation of the amyloidogenic protein, which is an important contributor to type II diabetes. The goal of our work is to understand the cellular mechanisms responsible for beta-cell destruction so that we can identify the best targets for beta-cell protection. This would aid the development of the next generation of treatments as well as combination therapies for type II diabetes."
Results presented in the current study pinpointed similarities between type II diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases that are marked by an accumulation of toxic forms of amyloid proteins. Dr. Costes said, "This demonstrates the importance of autophagy in clearing out these harmful proteins to prevent both type II diabetes and Alzheimer's disease."

Dec 13 - Homily: The New Evangelization and the Gospel
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Dec 13, 2013
Fr. Matthias comments some of the attempts to evangelize our modern culture that violate prudence, reverence, and even doctrine. Father notices that in the past 60 years, instead of Catholics evangelizing the world, they were secularized by it. Finally, he declares that if the New Evangelization is to bear fruit, we cannot violate the Truth of the Gospel, but preach it in its uncomfortable fullness. And when people refuse to reason, as many in our age have, we must demonstrate it by our lives, even to the point of martyrdom. Ave Maria! Mass: St. Lucy of Syracuse - Mem - Form: OF Readings: Friday in the 2nd Week in Advent 1st: isa 48:17-19 Resp: psa 1:1-2, 3, 4, 6 Gsp: mat 11:16-19

P Trap
I'm replacing my bathroom petalstool sink. I removed the sink from the wall and water lines. I left part of the "P" trap in place (the down spout). My wife ran the washer machine and water came out when the washer went to it's rinse cycle. Is this normal? Should I have left the the "P" trap on?
My home is on a slab and the washer is on the same floor.
No it isn't normal. That means the water draining from the washer is filling the DVW system up to at least the point of that P trap. Probably a partially stopped or undersized line. Could be the waste for the washer is incorrectly piped as well.

It's here! The highly anticipated new MakerBot® Replicator® Z18 3D Printer, with its massive build volume and the best price/performance in the extra-large professional 3D printer category, is now shipping. Customers who preordered the MakerBot Replicator Z18 a few months ago will start receiving notification that their 3D printer has shipped and arrange for delivery. Orders placed today will have an approximate six- to eight-week lead-time, as products are shipped based on date of order. Also available for shipping are the MakerBot Cart for the MakerBot Replicator Z18 and the MakerBot Filament Case, designed specifically to hold the larger-sized 3D printer and XXL filament spools.
MakerBot announced it is now shipping the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer to customers. The MakerBot Replicator Z18 is MakerBot's largest 3D printer with a massive build volume and the best price/performance in the extra-large professional 3D printer category. To learn more, visit http://www.makerbot.com/Z18. (Photo: Business Wire)
MakerBot, a global leader in desktop 3D printing, originally announced the MakerBot Replicator Z18 at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, and immediately gained recognition from the industry and the media for introducing what MakerBot believes to be one of the most anticipated disruptive products of the year. Mashable named the MakerBot Replicator Z18 among the Best Tech of CES 2014, and MakerBot is very excited to offer professionals experienced in 3D printing the capability to 3D print large-scale models using a MakerBot Replicator Z18.
"The MakerBot Replicator Z18 was named for its large z-axis that produces 3D prints up to 18 inches in height. This is a massive scale for a 3D printer and comparable to 3D printers that cost tens of thousands of dollars more," noted Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot. "We believe that the MakerBot Replicator Z18 is going to disrupt the industry in that it enables 3D printing of large-scale and complex prototypes and models that were previously out of range for the creative community, many of whom include super-users of 3D printing, the engineers, architects and educators. We are really excited to see what our customers will 3D print with it."
Key benefits of the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer:
- A massive build volume of 30.5 L x 30.5 W x 45.7 H cm (12.0 L x 12.0 W x 18.0 H in) that enables 3D printing of extra-large and ultra-tall industrial prototypes, models and products and to print multiple models at once
- Priced at $6,499 (USD), the MakerBot Replicator Z18 offers the best price/performance in the professional 3D printer category
- The new MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder is easy to swap or replace; detects filament absence and automatically pauses a print; and send notifications to the MakerBot Desktop and MakerBot Mobile apps (notifications coming soon)
- The enclosed and heated build chamber is designed for printing large models with minimal curling
- The 3.5-inch full-color LCD display and intuitive dial create a rich user experience
- The on-board camera enables print monitoring and easy sharing to MakerBot Thingiverse® and social networks
- On-board utilities help you set up and maintain your printer
- The MakerBot Replicator Z18 is app and cloud enabled
- USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi connectivity ensures a seamless production workflow
- Use of MakerBot PLA Filament
- Paper-thin 100-micron layer resolution creating professional-quality, high-resolution prototypes and complex models; smooth-to-the-touch surfaces that don't need sanding, finishing or postproduction
- The free MakerBot Desktop app allows storage and organization of 3D design files in a personalized cloud library to find, buy, prepare, preview and share files from one central location
- The free MakerBot Mobile app enables remote monitoring via the on-board camera feed and sends notifications and alerts
- The MakerBot MakerCare Protection Plan provides the highest level of support from the people who know your MakerBot product best
- The MakerBot Replicator Z18 is available at makerbot.com/z18 or through MakerBot's network of distributors and resellers
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer will begin shipping to preorder customers today; customers who order today will receive their MakerBot Replicator Z18 in six to eight weeks. To learn more about the MakerBot Replicator Z18, visit makerbot.com.

"I wanted to personalize my response card with something humorous. I'm so glad that I did because EVERYONE was calling me to tell me how cute the cards were and how they couldn't wait to be there. It really made people excited for the wedding (and also helped them to remember to send the response card back). I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to do exactly what I wanted, but WPD was really helpful. The personal stylist sent me the edited version with what I had specified and got it right on the first try. The card was beautiful and great quality. It was a little pricey, but overall worth the cost. Attached is a photo of my cards."
"I absolutely love the look and the ability to customize! I got the pearl paper, it was definitely worth if for me to add it made the RSVPs shimmer softly. The communication over messaging was easy and great! I will recommend!"
"These are ADORABLE in person!! I asked for a change when I reviewed them and it was immediately handled. They could not be more perfect for my wedding. Can't wait to start seeing these babies come back in!"
"These response cards were perfect with the invitations. I think our guests will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of these invites."
"These match the invitations perfectly. Very happy with paper thickness & colors. The postage for the return envelope is regular postage, so that was a nice surprise!"

Epic Resources List - How to Get Awesome at ArtI often get asked how to get better at drawing and painting. While the main answer is practice there are a lot of fantastic resources that will make the journey far easier; below is a list of the ones I have personally found most useful. Some are free and some are paid, if you want the paid ones please actually buy them and support the hard-working artists that spend their valuable time providing quality education.Also this is enough material to last you for, literally, years, so get one at a time, study it in detail, then once you're thoroughly finished move on to the next one. Reading a book or watching a dvd doesn't make you better. What makes you better is ingesting the information slowly, pondering and truly understanding it, and then applying it with diligent practice over a long period of time.So without further ado, here is my...EPIC RESOURCES LIST!!!Figure DrawingProko - This is probably the best education on the internet.

Employers Now have right to ask for FB PWs?Okay, did I skip a dimension? http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/house-votes-down-stopping-employers-asking-for-facebook-passwords/11067Can someone explain this to me? Because I think I have something crazy and stupid in my ear.Let me get this straight, our government VOTED DOWN an amendment that states employers CANNOT demand passwords to our personal online social networks. As in, because this amendment was voted down, if I were to get a job right now and that employer states, as a condition for consideration of employment, I must give up my Youtube password, my DeviantArt password, and my Facebook and MySpace passwords and all usernames and emails associated with these accounts to that interviewer so that they can go and and well meddle in my affairs and see what religion I am, what my marital status is, who I'm dating, who my friends are, pose as me to those people and manipulate things that pretty much goes against the terms and conditions of a

Matt Marinkovich's weekly At Sea Diary entry is a popular feature of the National Fisherman Web site, and now you can post your own reflections on Matt's experiences fishing in the Pacific Northwest and North Pacific.
Thursday, July 28 — I arrived home on San Juan Island on this morning after a solid two months in Bristol Bay.
I had plans of kicking back for a week before I did any fishing-related activity at home, but that idea went to hell when my brother Frank called, informing me there may be a sockeye opening soon, right in my backyard. I would have blown it off, but all my fish customers were asking when I would be catching sockeye, and went on to tell me how excited they are at the thought of a fresh sockeye. So after only three full days at home, I was back on my gillnetter, thinking fish.
It took three solid days' work, which were dispersed through a week, but the Satisfaction hit the water on Thursday, August 4, 2011, just in time to make the first sockeye opening in Puget Sound on Friday, from 2 p.m. to midnight.
That first opening was actually pretty good! I figured on only catching a few, so I didn't bring very many ice chests (where I store cleaned fish to sell on the island). Chaos ensued after I had 150 fish on one set, with no organized place to put them. I wound up selling some fish to the tender but I still had a very successful selling day on San Juan Island. Linda, my deckhand in Bristol Bay who also lives on San Juan Island, joined me for this opening, and also sold a batch of fish at the farmer's market.
Our next opening came a week later on Thursday, August 11, 8 a.m. to midnight; a full day of fishing. There were fewer fish than the previous opening, and more boats as well, but I managed to catch enough for the islanders, and we had a great time doing it.

This study examined the relationship of adherence to antiretroviral treatment with three types of social support (partner, friends, and family) and use of two coping strategies (denial and substance use). Participants were 73 men and women with HIV infection drawn from a larger sample of 186 clinical trial patients. Based on inclusion criteria, parent trial participants taking antiretroviral therapies, and those with complete data on self-reported measures of adherence were considered eligible for the present study. Overall, 26% of participants were found to be nonadherent, which was defined as one or more missed doses of treatment in the prior 4-day period. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine associations of sociodemographic and psychosocial variables with adherence to antiretroviral regimen. Results indicated that heterosexual participants (p < 0.01) and participants of Latino ethnicity (p < 0.05) were significantly more likely to report missed medications. Perceived satisfaction with support from a partner was associated with taking antiretroviral therapy as prescribed, whereas satisfaction with support from friends and from family was not significantly related to adherence. Examination of coping strategies showed that participants reporting drug and alcohol use (p <.05) to cope with HIV-related stress were more likely to be nonadherent. These findings call for adherence interventions designed to address barriers and strengths, such as community norms or traditional cultural values, specific to certain populations. Furthermore, couple-based approaches enlisting partner support may help persons living with HIV to adhere to antiretroviral regimens.

Savings, yes. But some load-management
techniques may imply trade-offs in service
quality.By Scott L. Englander, John E. Flory,
Leslie K. Norford, and Richard D. TaborsAs facility...
the Act compels incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) to make proprietary elements of their networks available to competitors, but only where such access is "necessary" and the failure to provide it would "impair" a new entrant seeking to provide service.
The FCC was given the task of determining precisely what network elements the ILECs should make available - i.e., deciding how to apply the "necessary" and "impair" standards. Initially, the FCC set a low threshold. It explained that the "necessary" standard could be met even where the requested element could be obtained from an alternative source. Competitors could meet the "impair" standard where the incumbent's failure to provide access would even marginally decrease the quality or increase the cost of the service the entrant seeks to offer.[Fn.4]
In Iowa, the Supreme Court criticized the FCC's take on the issue as too lenient to new entrants. It said the FCC's interpretation probably would allow a competitor to gain access to any network element it wanted, since no new entrant likely would request any inconsequential element. In other words, no entrant likely would ever request access to a network element which, if missing, would not "impair" the entrant's ability to compete in the FCC's weak sense of the word.[Fn.5] The Supreme Court thus vacated the FCC's Rule 319, which had identified seven network elements that were required to be made available to new entrants. Instead, it directed the commission to reevaluate the standard it uses to determine which network elements incumbent local phone companies must unbundle.
How should we view the Supreme Court's opinion?
On one level, the decision makes a straightforward statutory interpretation. The Court saw the FCC's interpretation as inconsistent with the ordinary and fair meaning of the terms "necessary" and "impair."[Fn.6] However, in language that provides some guidance for regulators, the court went on to suggest an approach for limiting network element availability in accordance with the act.
As the Court majority noted, the appellants had suggested that the act's "necessary" and "impair" language codified "something akin" to the "essential facilities"' doctrine of antitrust theory: the opening up of only those "bottleneck" elements unavailable elsewhere in the marketplace. And though the Court stopped short of formally adopting that doctrine, it agreed that the FCC must employ "some limiting standard, rationally related to the goals of the Act."[Fn.7]
In his concurring opinion, Justice Breyer also cited the essential facilities doctrine. He suggested that "given the Act's basic purpose," network elements should not be unbundled without "a convincing explanation of why facilities should be shared ¼ where a new entrant could compete effectively without the facility or where practical alternatives to that facility are available."[Fn.8]
Intertwined with the Court's statutory analysis are deeper concerns that the FCC's overly "open" view of networks could distort markets. In the Court's view, the FCC rule could have led to (1) excessive and unjustifiable regulatory costs; (2) disincentives for ILECs to invest in and improve their networks and, paradoxically (3) less, rather than more, competition.
The FCC view had implied that "the more the incumbent unbundles, the

EU lawmakers back watered-down rules to help women into top jobs
BRUSSELS, Nov 20 (Reuters) – European Union lawmakers have
backed rules that would give women preference for non-executive
posts at companies, after plans for a mandatory quota to get
women into top jobs were scrapped.
The rules demand that companies give non-executive
directorships to women, where there is no male candidate who is
better qualified, until they reach a target of four in ten.
Reluctant Germany casts cloud over Europe's bank revamp
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European countries pledged on Friday to stand by banks found to be struggling after health checks next year as Germany pushed for investors to bear the brunt of repairing lenders to spare the use of euro zone funds.
In a statement designed to underscore Europe's readiness to act following the checks, ministers spelt out how they would have funds in place to help, overcoming German objections to eventually allow euro zone funds be used as a last resort.
Germany challenges European blueprint for banking union
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Europe's attempts to complete a banking union encountered opposition on Friday from Germany, which demanded that countries and investors bear the brunt of repairing stricken lenders to spare the use of euro zone funds.
Berlin's objections to using euro zone money, backed only by Finland and opposed by France and Spain, threaten to undermine Europe's attempt to tackle troubled banks and spoil tests next year intended to make a clean sweep of their problems.
Cyprus to fully lift capital controls within months
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Cyprus is likely to completely lift state controls on capital movement within months, the country's finance minister Harris Georgiades told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
Cyprus introduced controls on the movement of capital in March to prevent huge capital outflows after the small Mediterranean island was forced to close down one of its two biggest banks and restructure the other.
Germany challenges use of euro zone cash to repair banks
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Germany challenged a central plank of plans to forge a banking union in the euro zone on Thursday, arguing against the use of the currency bloc's funds to help lenders exposed as dangerously weak by health checks next year.
As finance ministers gathered in Brussels to outline plans to deal with banks still in difficulty, Germany's finance minister hardened his stance on the use of the bloc's emergency fund, according to people close to the talks.
Europe seeks united front to back troubled banks
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European finance ministers will pledge on Friday to stand by any banks that are exposed as dangerously weak by health checks next year, but Germany does not want euro zone money to be used for the clean-up.
Ministers will make their joint statement to reassure investors following a meeting in Brussels, taking Europe a step closer to coming clean on the banking problems that have dogged it for more than half a decade.
EU set to tell markets it will stand by weak banks
BRUSSELS, Nov 14 (Reuters) – European Union finance
ministers will pledge on Friday to stand by their banks if
health checks next year reveal they need to bolster their
capital, according to a draft statement obtained by Reuters.
The Eurogroup of ministers from the 17 countries that share
the euro were due to discuss the backstop arrangement for banks
on Thursday, but more serious talks will only take place when
finance ministers of all 28 EU member states meet on Friday.
Plan to raid bank creditors could shatter Europe's calm
BRUSSELS, Nov 13 (Reuters) – Market euphoria and soaring
demand for European bank debt could be brought back down to
earth if the European Union pushes ahead with the early
introduction of rules allowing Cyprus-style raids on bank
creditors and big depositors
Following demands from Germany, the European Union law to
raid the bondholders and savers of failing banks could take
effect as soon as January 2015, three years earlier than planned
and in time to hit banks exposed by European Central Bank tests
next year.
Germany demands prompt losses for bank creditors
BRUSSELS, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Germany is demanding that the
euro zone force losses on big depositors and bondholders of
failing banks from 2015 in return for giving its blessing for a
reform to police euro zone banks.
As EU ministers prepare to meet next week in Brussels to
discuss building the second pillar of banking union, namely a
scheme to close or salvage troubled banks, an EU report prepared
for diplomats spelt out Germany's wishes.
Germany, France demand 'no-spy' agreement with U.S.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel demanded on Thursday that the United States strike a "no-spying" agreement with Berlin and Paris by the end of the year, saying alleged espionage against two of Washington's closest EU allies had to be stopped.
Speaking after talks with EU leaders that were dominated by allegations that the U.S. National Security Agency had accessed tens of thousands of French phone records and monitored Merkel's private mobile phone, the chancellor said she wanted action from President Barack Obama, not just apologetic words.

Winning The Battles That Matter Most During Recession
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Business managers caught in a recession must choose selectively where they want to win. The author says cash-strapped organizations struggling to set priorities should start by considering at least four things: Their customers, employees, cash flow and long-term vision. "Managers today must do the same or more with less, and they know it," says author, who holds the Continental Grain Professorship in Finance at Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, Arizona. "Budgets will be cut, staff will be trimmed and job duties will increase. The managers who survive must prioritize what they do."
