Yes for the degree course, but not for the Introduction to Space course. Grant requests are made individually by minitel or Internet (there is no longer a 'paper' application form) before April, therefore before the entrance examination.
7,250 € per year for the degree course (+ 200 € registration fee for the first year ) and 7,150 € for the 5th year.
4,950 € per year for the Introduction to Space course (+ 300 € registration fee) or 2,000€ for students attending only one study theme.
Payment can be spread out.
As the school does not receive state funding it is self-financed, from tuition fees and the apprenticeship tax. The scool private donation funds may enabled a reduced payment of tuition fees for certain students experiencing financial difficulties . A social commission seats in June, immediately after the competitive entrance examination, and makes all decisions concerning those reductions.
This varies greatly from student to student. Basic equipment has to be acquired during the first year, and kept throughout the degree course. Some students evaluate expenses at around 100 € per month (materials, prints, etc.). The students' office sometimes buys in bulk to obtain discounts.

Mega Man hasn't had the best birthday celebration. The twenties can be a tough time for a lot of us, and at 25 years old, things appear bleak for the Blue Bomber.
His parent, game company Capcom, canceled the very public and decade-in-the-waiting Mega Man Legends 3. Mega Man Universe, a game that looked pretty good in my eyes, got canceled previously. Mega Man Online, a South Korean MMO developed by NeoWiz, was canned later.
The games we did receive only rubbed salt in those wounds: an iOS remake of Mega Man X launched with awful graphics and a DLC shop that unlocks all items, weapons and upgrades while Mega Man Xover, another iOS game (potentially pronounced as "Mega Man's over"), launched with even worse graphics and cash grab "gameplay".
Between all that, a poorly timed announcement revealed a playable Mega Man in Street Fighter x Tekken, portrayed as a pudgy, washed-up version of his Bad Box Art self from the original NES Mega Man. Couple that with a barren, snowy Mega Man Legends stage (symbolism!) from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and some of the world's worst PR — Capcom's European Twitter account blamed the MML3 cancellation on the fans' lack of interest — and it seemed as if Capcom was intentionally dragging its former mascot through the mud.
So, what's left to celebrate? To borrow another Capcom title's catchphrase, it looks as if there's no hope left for Mega Man, a character that used to stand on equal footing with Mario and Sonic.
There was a glimmer of light on Mega Man's 25th birthday, December 17th 2012, when Capcom-Unity.com released Street Fighter x Mega Man, a free fan-made game for PC that the U.S. branch of Capcom took under its wing. It didn't make up for the snafus of the past couple years, but it was a tiny act of goodwill that will hopefully snowball into some greater things over the next year as hinted by Capcom USA President Christian Svensson, who announced the free game was just the beginning of Mega Man's birthday celebration.
As part of the year-long party, the U.S. will finally receive the original six NES games on the 3DS eShop in the coming months. Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 re-releases might also happen in the distant future, though that would entail re-recording the original voice-overs, something that undoubtedly won't go over well with many fans. But, aside from some shaky promises — we all know how well Capcom keeps its word — what else is left for its former mascot? Will we ever see an honest-to-goodness new Mega Man game again?
I think so. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday. First, it's important to remember that Mega Man has always been a very versatile brand. It's very flexible, fitting all kinds of game molds. You can change the game completely while keeping it irrevocably Mega Man, like with Battle Network, a series made for the Pokemon generation. Or Command Mission, an RPG spin-off of the Mega Man X series, itself a spin-off. But when people think Mega Man, they often think Mega Man 1 through 10 – the "classic" series.
Ideally, Capcom would continue to comfortably iterate on that without worrying about evolving it too much, and make a new series catering to the here and now. Mega Man 9 proved that you can make something wonderful just by sticking with the basics. So yes, I'd say for the future stuff, classic Mega Man should stay the course, while new series — new stuff for the players of today — can focus on evolving. They already established this kind of framework back in the 16-bit era. Mega Man X peacefully coexisted with classic games like Mega Man 6.
I'm confident Mega Man will be okay in the long term. As long as there are people who really understand Mega Man, there will also be people who can make Mega Man as he's meant to be. In the short term, there'll be a lot of bumps in the road before the franchise finds its legs again. After the Mega Man Legends 3 debacle, Capcom doesn't want to announce anything that isn't an absolutely guaranteed release. Gradually re-establishing the trust between them and the fans will take years as it is. At least it sounds like the company's trying.
But in the future? I think Mega Man will be okay. Think of the Batman comics. Bruce Wayne didn't go kaput when Bob Kane … went kaput. Instead, we got so many amazing stories from so many creators. The same mythology interpreted in different ways. That's what lies ahead for Mega Man. Heck, he's already got a mythology like that. All the games, no matter how different they are, all share a certain Mega Man-ness. Even with new creators, new masterpieces that meet or exceed anything done before will (hopefully) have that same Mega Man-ness. Besides, if the Sonic the Hedgehog series can finally find its legs, anyone can!
Also, consider the massive response to the digital survey Capcom performed in favor of new Mega Man stuff. If the choices on that survey are any indication, we may see something on the digital download front akin to Hard Corps: Uprising or Double Dragon Neon — something more HD-flavored than the retro Mega Man 9 and 10. The guys at Inti Creates — they made Mega Man 9 and 10 as well as the Zero and ZX games — totally get Mega Man, so at least we know anything they make, should they get the chance again, will be great.
Video games haven't been around for very long relative to other mediums, but new champions for beloved characters and franchises is just a thing that happens organically. Look at J.J. Abrams and Star Wars. Look at Capcom's own Devil May Cry and Resident Evil series. It's not something you can rush, which obviously runs counter to the ridiculously fast pace of evolution in the industry. But it's a thing that'll happen just the same. Capcom should take all they learned from DmC, Resident Evil 6 and the recent survey and apply that knowledge to keeping Mega Man alive in some form other than toys, comic books and soundtracks. It'll happen one way or another.
It's only a matter of when.

We have this one: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3393724which works great and this one: not the exact one, we bought it here for 79 but I cant find the exact one on the site: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2909941
Both work fine and do their job. If you need one for the cat to go through you can try a dog type gate, my sister has one with a teeny door on it in the corner of the gate that you can leave open. She has a chihuahua and it works great
I believe (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the slats on baby gates are supposed to be the same distance apart as the slats on cribs - 2 3/8 inches max. So I'm not sure how much luck you are going to have finding slats wide enough for your cats, but narrow enough that there isn't a risk of the baby getting stuck.
We have the First Years Hands Free Gates right now for our dog and we love them - but I can't imagine a cat could fit through them.
Sorry I'm not more help. Good luck!
We have two of the same kind, one at the top and one at the bottom of our stairs. We got them from Lowe's, they are the Summer brand and have a gate that opens in the middle (like a door). What I do with my cats is:
1. Dilly is young and nimble so he jumps over, easy no problems
2. Chloe is 14 and arthritic (like your cat) and won't jump over. She goes by the gate, meows until I let her thru. She's pretty patient and I just let her in and out.
Also, if we're downstairs, I shut the gate at the bottom of the stairs but keep the one at the top open, since DD isn't up there and then the cats can get thru. Vice versa if we're upstairs. THe cats do just fine this way. Oh and I have the cat food in the powder room by the stairway so its gated from the toddler who likes to eat it too!
I tried finding a gate with wide enough slats for cats to fit thru, but then my DD could also fit so that is not good. I suggest something like the set up we have. Its expensive at $60 a gate but worth it and works.

|Anatomical terms of bone
The phalanges /fəˈlæŋdʒiːz/ (singular: phalanx /ˈfælæŋks/) are bones in the toes and fingers found in the limbs of most vertebrates. In humans and monkeys, the thumbs and big toes have two phalanges while the other digits have three phalanges. The phalanges are long bones.
The phalanges are bones that exist on each finger and toe. There are 56 phalanges in the human body, with fourteen phalanges on each hand and foot. Three phalanges are present on each finger and toe, with the exception of the thumb and large toe, which possess only two. Frequently the medial and distal phalanxes of the foot 4th and 5th toe have merged together(Symphalangism).[1] The phalanges of the hand (Latin: Ossa digitorum manus, phalanges digitorum manus) are commonly known as the finger bones.[citation needed] The phalanges of the foot (Latin: ossa digitorum pedis, phalanges digitorum pedis) differ from the hand in that they are often shorter and more compressed, especially in the proximal phalanges, those closest to the body.
The phalanges are named according to whether they are proximal or distal, and according to the finger or toe they are in. The proximal phalanges are those that are closest to the hand or foot. In the hand, the prominent, knobby ends of the proximal phalanx is often called the knuckle.[citation needed] The proximal phalanges join with the metacarpals of the hand or metatarsals of the foot at the metacarpophalangeal joint or metatarsophalangeal joint. The intermediate phalanx is not only intermediate in location, but usually also in size. The thumb and large toe do not possess a middle phalanx. The distal phalanges are the bones at the tips of the fingers or toes. The proximal, intermediate, and distal phalanges articulate with one another through interphalangeal articulations.[2]:708–711:708–711
Each phalanx consists of a central part, called the body, and two extremities.
In the foot, the proximal phalanges have a body that is compressed from side to side, convex above, and concave below. The base is concave, and the head presents a trochlear surface for articulation with the second phalanx. The middle are remarkably small and short, but rather broader than the proximal. The distal phalanges, as compared with the distal phalanges of the finger, are smaller and are flattened from above downward; each presents a broad base for articulation with the corresponding bone of the second row, and an expanded distal extremity for the support of the nail and end of the toe.
In the hand, the distal phalanges are flat on their palmar surface, small, and with a roughened, elevated surface of horseshoe form on the palmar surface, supporting the finger pulp.[3]:6b. 3. The Phalanges of the Hand The flat, wide expansions found at the tips of the distal phalanges are called apical tufts. They support the fingertip pads and nails.[4] The phalanx of the thumb has a pronounced insertion for the flexor pollicis longus (asymmetric towards the radial side), an ungual fossa, and a pair of unequal ungual spines (the ulnar being more prominent). This asymmetry is necessary to ensure that the thumb pulp is always facing the pulps of the other digits, an osteological configuration which provides the maximum contact surface with held objects.[5]
In the foot, the distal phalanges are flat on their dorsal surface. It is largest proximally and tapers to the distal end. The proximal part of the phalnx presents a broad base for articulation with the middle phalanx, an d an expanded distal extremity for the support of the nail and end of the toe.[3]:6b. 3. The Phalanges of the Foot The phalanx ends in a crescent-shaped rough cap of bone epiphysis — the apical tuft (or ungual tuberosity/process) which covers a larger portion of the phalanx on the volar side than on the dorsal side. Two lateral ungual spines project proximally from the apical tuft. Near the base of the shaft are two lateral tubercles. Between these a V-shaped ridge extending proximally serves for the insertion of the flexor pollicis longus. Another ridge at the base serves for the insertion of the extensor aponeurosis.[6] The flexor insertion is sided by two fossae — the ungual fossa distally and the proximopalmar fossa proximally.
The number of phalanges in animals is often expressed as a "phalangeal formula" that indicates the numbers of phalanges in digits, beginning from the innermost medial or proximal.
In the distal phalanges of the hand the centres for the bodies appear at the distal extremities of the phalanges, instead of at the middle of the bodies, as in the other phalanges. Moreover, of all the bones of the hand, the distal phalanges are the first to ossify.[3]:6b. 3. The Phalanges of the Hand
|This section requires expansion. (January 2014)
The distal phalanges carry and shape nails and claws and are therefore occasionally referred to as the ungual phalanges.
The term phalanx or phalanges refers to an ancient Greek army formation in which soldiers stand side by side, several rows deep, like an arrangement of fingers or toes.
Most land mammals including humans have a 2-3-3-3-3 formula in both the hands (or paws) and feet. Primitive reptiles typically had the formula 2-3-4-4-5, and this pattern, with some modification, remained in many later reptiles and in the mammal-like reptiles. The phalangeal formula in the flippers of cetaceans (marine mammals) is 2-12-8-1.
In vertebrates, proximal phalanges have a similar placement in the corresponding limbs, be they paw, wing or fin. In many species, they are the longest and thickest phalanx ("finger" bone). The middle phalanx also a corresponding place in their limbs, whether they be paw, wing, hoof or fin.
The distal phalanges are cone-shaped in most mammals, including most primates, but relatively wide and flat in humans.
The morphology of the distal phalanges of human thumbs closely reflects an adaptation for a refined precision grip with pad-to-pad contact. While this has traditionally been associated with the advent of stone tool-making, the intrinsic hand proportions of australopiths and the resemblance between human hands and the short hands of Miocene apes, suggest that human hand proportions are largely plesiomorphic — in contrast to the derived elongated hand pattern and poorly developed thumb musculature of extant hominoids. The capability of a pad-to-pad precision grip in human hands is reflected in the morphology of the distal phalanges, especially in the pollical distal phalanges (PDP).[5]
In Neanderthals, the apical tufts were expanded and more robust than in modern and early upper Paleolithic humans. A proposal that Neanderthal distal phalanges was an adaptation to colder climate (than in Africa) is not supported by a recent comparison showing that in hominins, cold-adapted populations possessed smaller apical tufts than do warm-adapted populations. [7]
In non-human, living primates the apical tufts vary in size, but they are never larger than in humans. Enlarged apical tufts, to the extent they actually reflect expanded digital pulps, may have played a significant role in enhancing friction between the hand and held objects during Neolithic toolmaking.[4]
Among non-human primates phylogeny and style of locomotion appear to play a role in apical tuft size. Suspensory primates and New World monkeys have the smallest apical tufts, while terrestrial quadrupeds and Strepsirrhines have the largest.[7] A study of the fingertip morphology of four small-bodied New World monkey species, indicated a correlation between increasing small-branch foraging and reduced flexor and extensor tubercles in distal phalanges and broadened distal parts of distal phalanges. coupled with expanded apical pads and developed epidermal ridges. This suggests that widened distal phalanges were developed in arboreal primates, rather than in quadrupedal terrestrial primates.[8]
In ungulates (hoofed mammals) the forelimb is optimized for speed and endurance by a combination of length of stride and rapid step; the proximal forelimb segments are short with large muscles, while the distal segments are elongated with less musculature. In two of the major groups of ungulates, odd-toed and even-toed ungulates, what remain of the "hands" — the metacarpal and phalangeal bones — are elongated to the extent that they serve little use beyond locomotion. The giraffe, the largest even-toed ungulate, has large terminal phalanges and fused metacarpal bones able to absorb the stress from running.[9]
The sloth spends its life hanging upside-down from branches, and has highly specialized third and fourth digits for the purpose. They have short and squat proximal phalanges with much longer terminal phalanges. They have vestigial second and fifth metacarpals, and their palm extends to the distal interphalangeal joints. The arboreal specialization of these terminal phalanges makes it impossible for the sloth to walk on the ground where the animal has to drag its body with its claws.[9]

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

For many years, the chronic pain-relieving qualities of sexual activity have been the subject of locker room lore and pubescent masturbation rationalizations. Finally, serious scientific study of the subject began over a quarter-century ago: A 1985 study published in The Journal of Sex Research found that vaginal stimulation increased pain thresholds of women. Stimulation resulting in orgasm produced the highest increases in pain threshold. Further analysis a decade later concluded that sexual arousal and orgasm have their pain-reducing effects through increasing levels of endorphins and corticosteroids, easing the burden of menstrual cramps, headaches, among other painful conditions:
• A study of 83 women published in a 2001 edition of the journal Headache found that orgasm resulted in some degree of relief in over fifty percent of the subjects. While not as effective as medication, the analgesic effect of orgasm, to whatever degree, does have a more rapid onset.
• In the year 2000, it was reported that almost ten percent of 1,900 women who reported masturbating in the prior three months stated that one of the motivations for masturbation was the relief of menstrual cramps.

The author of Population: 485 returns, delivering a truckload of humor, heart, and . . . gardening tips? Think Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, complete with stock cars, sexy vegetables, and a laugh track.
"All I wanted to do was fix my old pickup truck," says Michael Perry. "That, and plant my garden. Then I met this woman. . . ." Truck: A Love Story recounts a year in which Perry struggles to grow his own food ("Seed catalogs are responsible for more unfulfilled fantasies than Enron and Penthouse combined"), live peaceably with his neighbors (one test-fires his black powder rifle in the alley; another's best Sunday shirt reads 100 PERCENT WHUP-ASS), and sort out his love life. But along the way, he sets his hair on fire, is attacked by wild turkeys, takes a date to the fire department chicken dinner, and proposes marriage to a woman in New Orleans. As with Population: 485, much of the spirit of Truck: A Love Story may be found in the characters Perry meets: a one-eyed land surveyor, a paraplegic biker who rigs a sidecar so that his quadriplegic pal can ride along, a bartender who refuses to sell light beer, an enchanting woman who never existed, and half the staff of National Public Radio.
By turns hilarious and heartfelt, a tale that begins on a pile of sheep manure, detours to the Whitney Museum of American Art, and returns to the deer-hunting swamps of northern Wisconsin, Truck: A Love Story becomes a testament to the surprising and unintended consequences of love. 1006
About the Author
Michael Perry is an amateur pig farmer, an active member of the local rescue service, and a contributing editor to Men's Health. He lives in rural Wisconsin with his wife and two daughters, and can be found online at www.sneezingcow.com.
Praise for Truck: A Love Story…
"A reminder, by a talent of the hinterlands, to celebrate small-town life and to treasure human relationships."
-Kirkus Reviews
"The deer-hunting, truck-loving Michael Perry has the soul of a poet."
-Chicago Tribune Books

hESC-derived NPCs Programmed with MEF2C for Cell Transplantation in Parkinson's Disease

Funding Type:
Disease Team Therapy Development - Research
Grant Number:
ICOC Funds Committed:
Public Abstract:
We proposes to use human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiated into neural progenitor/stem cells (NPCs), but modified by stably programming the cells with the transcription factor MEF2C to drive them more specifically towards dopaminergic (DA) neurons, those lost in Parkinson's disease. We will select Parkinson's patients that no longer respond to L-DOPA and related therapy for our study, because no alternative treatment is currently available. The transplantation of cells that become DA neurons in the brain will create a population of cells that secrete dopamine, which may stop or slow the progression of the disease. In this way, moderate-to-severely affected Parkinson's patients will benefit. The impact of development of a successful cell-based therapy for late-stage Parkinson's patients would be very significant. There are approximately one million people in the United States with Parkinson's disease (PD) and about ten million worldwide. Though L-DOPA therapy controls symptoms in many patients for a period of time, most reach a point where they fail to respond to this treatment. This is a very devastating time for sufferers and their families as the symptoms then become much worse. A cell-based therapy that restores production of dopamine and/or the ability to effectively use L-DOPA would greatly improve the lives of these patients. Because of our extensive preclinical experience and the clinical acumen of our Disease Team, we will be able to quickly adapt our procedures to human patients and be able to seek FDA approval within four years.
Statement of Benefit to California:
It is estimated that the cost per year for a Parkinson's patient averages over $10,000 in direct costs and over $21,000 in total cost to society (in 2007 dollars). With nearly 40 million people in California and with one in 500 estimated to have Parkinson's (1.5-2% of the population over 60 years of age), there are approximately 80,000 people in California with Parkinson's disease. Thus, Parkinson's disease is a significant burden to California, not to mention the devastating effect on those who have the disease and their families. A therapy that could halt the progression or reverse Parkinson's disease would be of great benefit to the state and its residents. It would be particularly advantageous if the disease could be halted or reversed to an early stage, since the most severe symptoms and highest costs of care are associated with the late stages of the disease. Cell-based therapies offer the hope of achieving this goal.
