Current classifications of salivary gland tumors separate mucoepidermoid carcinoma from other neoplasms on the basis of a number of histological features, in particular the lack of participation of neoplastic myoepithelial cells. However, ultrastructural examination of low- and intermediate-grade mucoepidermoid carcinomas and pleomorphic adenomas reveals many common organizational and cellular features. Of prime importance is the relationship of intermediate cells to the luminal cells in mucoepidermoid carcinomas, which is remarkably similar to that seen between modified myoepithelial cells and luminal cells in pleomorphic adenomas. The results suggest that intermediate cells of mucoepidermoid carcinoma are the counterpart of the modified myoepithelial cells of pleomorphic adenoma. The generally accepted hypothesis that the former tumor develops from an excretory duct reserve cell, while the latter originates from an intercalated duct stem cell does not seem to be valid; pleomorphic adenoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma appear to be closely related morphologically.

1 rubbish!lulubear5 | 30/10/2007 | See all lulubear5's reviews (45)i bought this game because i love racing games but it was a complete waste of money as i never go on it as the missions are boring and you only race once and even then its rubbish and not challenging. i am 13 years old and love games but never buy this one!!!
2 Disney Pixar... I'm disappointmentmissdee1184 | 19/09/2007 | See all missdee1184's reviews (4)I got this game as part of a bundle and quite frankly I wish I'd have selected a different game. There's hardly any racing at all. You only take part in the Piston Cup races after completing some mini missions, even then you go in a straight line. The mini missions are quite easy and there's not that many. I was expecting the game to be similar to the PS2 game, but it's totally not. Maybe I didn't read the back of the game very well and was expecting too much, but I wasn't overly impressed. Doesn't come with download play either, but you can have 2 player mode as long as the other player has the game card too.
5 WICKEDXxMelxX | 10/10/2007 | See all XxMelxX's reviews (3)I thouht this game was wicked not much racing but the other games were fun im 25 and enjoyed it loads
3 Just for little kidsmorris004 | 25/03/2008 | See all morris004's reviews (21)This game would be really good for a small child who liked watching the film cars. It is very simple and not very exciting for older children. It is one of those games young children can complete so if thats what your buying for I recommend it. If you have a little boy who is obsessed with cars then buy it. It is very cheap at the moment and it won't be a waste of money.
2 Its better for younger people.prettycoolevie | 19/08/2008 | See all prettycoolevie's reviews (7)This game is boring game for people over 7 and fun for people under 7 unless you like the film cars. x

X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has been turning heads on this year's show, with her bold, daring and confident fashion choices.
The 24-year-old knows exactly how to dress to show off her petite but curvaceous frame to full effect.
If you adore Tulisa's style and would like to recreate it yourself, check out our guide to nabbing the X Factor lovely's little black dress style.
First up model Kristina shows off a stretch chiffon love-sleeved prom dress with all-over polka dot effect, from M&Co.
Rather than being in the traditional prom-style structure, the cut is softer and has more of a focus on 1950s Americana.
Perfect for younger ladies, this dress is very similar to the Stephanie Allin gown Tulisa wore on X Factor a few weeks ago.
Teamed up with a gold clutch and black shoes, the overall effect is simple, demure elegance.
The second 'Tulisa look' is a Herve Leger black Bandage dress with ivory panels from Cruise. Herve Leger dresses are massively popular with celebrities and have been seen on the likes of Eva Longoria and the Kardashian sisters, so it's no surprise to see fashion-forward Tulisa also showing off pieces she's snapped up from the fashion house.
This body-con dress is figure hugging and has a short skirt, so is best worn by those with slim figures.
The look is finished off with the addition of a red all-over spiked iPad case by Christian Louboutin, a very on-trend look at the moment.
The third look is a sparkly black mini dress with a green underlay. The dress, from Reiss, boasts geometric lines which give it a hard edge.
Teamed up with a multi-strand bracelet, the overall effect is a strong, power look, softened down with the addition of a cream clutch bag. A pair of slim strap evening stilettos completes the outfit.
And the final Tulisa-inspired look is a beautiful black shift dress with a sweetheart neckline, which has a polka dot finish and sheer panelling and sleeves.
This dress, from Hobbs, is teamed up with an art deco crystal cuff and a small crystal clutch bag, which add a bit of glitz to the look.
All these looks are inspired by Tulisa, but they're also perfect for the party season as we head into Christmas and New Year.
More style tips are available as part of STV's Little Black Dress Special.
Also check out our guide to getting Tulisa's X Factor colleague Nicole Scherzinger's little black dress look.

We still love this dance. My students request it often.
Levi Hubbard - 03/02/2002
This is a great dance, I've been dancing it since it was first taught at the club I dance at it's always a floor crowder and when danced to Chinese Checkers by Louis Lane its a very high energy dance
Ed "The Amsterdam Stetsons" - 30/01/2002
This is an older dance (1997) that should SURELY be nominated for Linedancer's "Blast From The Past". Our group has only recently learned the steps, and WOW! Check out what we missed in '97?!

Hamilton came on top but the first session is quite clear indication that BMW is serious about joining the big guys, especially at their home Grand Prix. There was not much between McLaren, Ferrari and BMW in this free practice. The gaps between the team mates may be down to different fuel loads and set ups for the practice.
The weekend started pretty well for Honda, with both cars quite comfortably in top 10. They will not feel the same in Renault garage though.
Marcus Winkelhock has lots of work to do before his first race, he was a bit too much off the pace of his team mate.Friday Practice 1 Times Here:
Kimi Raikkonen was fastest on second free practice that began on the wet track. The track dried up towards the end. Hamilton, Massa and Hamilton were not too far behind. This was very strong session for Toyota with Schumacher and Trulli 5th and 6th. Rosberg and Button also must be reasonably happy with their pace. Winkelhock continued to get along with car, but his gap to his team mate is still quite big.

If you are planning to read Chael Sonnen: The Voice of Reason in hopes to get a laugh at senseless literature, you will be disappointed because the book offers a lot more.
As the reader opens the book they will immediately be greeted with a foreword from none other than Jesus Christ, followed by a list of items you will need in order to read the book properly. It is a hilarious beginning, as Sonnen (Twitter: @sonnench) then takes the reader on a telling of his experiences leading up to previous bouts he has competed in or had some part in. These duties included cornerman, baggage handler, stacker of chairs, and exploited, well-intentioned doofus.
Then the book backtracks to Sonnen's younger days in West Linn, Ore. The author recounted his wrestling experiences, which included grappling with the notorious Crips and Bloods street gangs, attending a multitude of funerals and the impact coach Roy Pittman had on Sonnen's life.
Numerous chapters throughout the book show a humble side of Sonnen. He talks about his political career going up in smoke after being convicted of money laundering. The infraction resulted in Sonnen losing his real estate license and having his right to vote revoked. Sonnen also talked about his late father and the relationship the two of them had. It was a glimpse of Sonnen's personality that not many have had the opportunity to see.
Sonnen delves into politics and world history. It was definitely the least intriguing section of the book for me, but the humorous remarks about history's world leaders encouraged me to keep reading. He also had words for terrorists and the environmentalists out there he refers to as "eco-frekos."
Sonnen offered a few pages to explain his detest for people using social media platforms as a stage to inform the world of their unimportant statuses. He suggests Twitter should be called "Blather," and provides various chapters that describe Sonnen's loathe for pop culture, as well as the people fooled by it.
The book would not be complete without Sonnen contributing advice for fellow mixed martial artists. He warns the up-and-comers to not get into MMA for fortune, fame and women, because it will lead to failure. The UFC No. 1 middleweight contender gives some insight on which walkout songs are acceptable and not acceptable (Aerosmith and Metallica top the list, can't disagree with that). And of course, Sonnen fired off more than a few sentences at teammates not wanting to fight each other.
It should be well-expected that Anderson Silva would get his own chapter. Sonnen, surprisingly, did not tear into Silva as one might have presumed. He detailed the night of Aug. 7, 2010, when he lost to Silva via submission, following 23 minutes of Sonnen dominating the champ. Sonnen also described the suspension he received from the California State Athletic Commission for accelerated levels of testosterone. It was really quite interesting to read what Sonnen's mindset was before, during and after that particular contest.
In closing, Sonnen described his emotions and psyche as he enters the Octagon. After crediting Bert Fields on a job well-done, Sonnen admitted the fear and self-doubt he experiences while waiting for the fight to begin. He explained the thoughts running through his mind as his opponent walks down the same ramp he did moments ago. Sonnen was very intricate with his description, but also made comical notes about having troubles taking off his walkout shirt, as so many fighters do.
The Voice of Reason provides the reader with the typical humor MMA fans are used to from the author, however, it also offers little-known facts about Sonnen. There may not be a whole lot of reasoning behind Sonnen's antics, but it was enlightening to read about his life and experiences.

As more patients survive myocardial infarctions, the incidence of heart failure increases. After an infarction, the human heart undergoes a series of structural changes, which are governed by cellular and molecular mechanisms in a pathological metamorphosis termed "remodeling." This review will discuss the current developments in our understanding of these molecular and cellular events in remodeling and the various pharmacological, cellular and device therapies used to treat, and potentially retard, this condition. Specifically, this paper will examine the neurohormonal activity of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone axis and its molecular effects on the heart. The emerging understanding of the extra-cellular matrix and the various active molecules within it, such as the matrix metalloproteinases, elicits new appreciation for their role in cardiac remodeling and as possible future therapeutic targets. Cell therapy with stem cells is another recent therapy with great potential in improving post-infarcted hearts. Lastly, the cellular and molecular effects of left ventricular assist devices on remodeling will be reviewed. Our increasing knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac remodeling enables us not only to better understand how our more successful therapies, like angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, work, but also to explore new therapies of the future.

By Neale Donnelley TVN Friday, November 9, 2012 - 12:44 PM
Hot trainer Darren Weir continues to be pleasantly surprised with the on-going success of his progressive mare Lake Sententia.
Tomorrow the four-year-old mare tackles high quality mares in the Group 2 $300,000 Matriarch Stakes, yet Weir will go to Flemington thinking Lake Sententia deserves her place in the field.
"We thought she could win at Moonee Valley but we didn't think she'd go there and win by five lengths," Weir told TVN today.
Lake Sententia has only raced six times for four wins, but Weir is sure her winning ways are not yet over.
"She has always given us the impression the better the race you put her in the better she will go.
"She likes to run on off a hot pace so we'll find out a lot more about her tomorrow," he said.
"There are some really top mares here, particularly Silent Achiever. Running a place would be very good for her value," he said.
Last season's New Zealand Derby winner Silent Achiever is marked a hot $1.75 favourite with Bet365, with Weir's Lake Sententia the second elect at $7.50.

Thousands share Colorado Springs graphic artist's tribute to theater shooting victims
A Colorado Springs graphic artist's tribute to the victims of the Aurora movie theater shooting is spreading across the web.
Mark Rantal's blue ribbon image interlaces elements of the Colorado state flag, a heart shape and an outline of Batman (see below). His cover photo includes the words "July 20, 2012 In Memoriam." The image is reminiscent of a 19-year-old student's tribute to Steve Jobs, which went viral.
The Denver Comic Con Facebook page grabbed Rantal's photo and urged fans to "'like this picture to show your support and love for our community." More than 3,200 people have shared the post. Read more…

Almost half of Americans die with virtually no savings
August 24, 2012
If a newly release report is any indication, most children shouldn't expect a big inheritance from their parents. A new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research finds that 46 percent of Americans die with less than $10,000 in financial assets.
The study, which tracked senior citizens from 1993-2008, grouped seniors by their marital status to examine the differences between these categories:
- Always single
- Married at the start of retirement, but single by death
- Married until death
Married seniors fare the best
Single seniors were most likely to have low incomes and limited assets. The study found 52 percent of individuals in this category lived on less than $20,000 annually and died with less than $10,000 in financial assets.
Seniors who were married at the time of retirement but outlived their spouse fared better with only 36 percent falling below those income and asset levels. Individuals who were still married at death seemed to be the most financially secure with only 26 percent living below those levels.
In addition, single individuals had significantly lower annual wealth than those who were married. According to the research, unmarried seniors had a median annual wealth of $165,000. That figure included both current and future Social Security income as well as pensions, home equity and financial assets such as CDs, money market accounts and savings accounts.
Individuals who were married at death again fared better, with a median annual wealth of $600,000.
More money correlated with a longer life
The study also discovered that those who had greater wealth in 1993 tended to live longer lives. This finding held true across a variety of assets. Those whose homes were worth more, who had larger retirement incomes and who had more money in their savings accounts consistently outlived those with less income and assets.
The reason for the correlation between health and wealth is not completely understood, but the study authors say their findings underscore patterns previously detected in other research.
Author James Poterba of MIT says the issue of wealth and senior citizens merits further research and discussion. He believes additional studies may help identify mechanisms to help seniors who find themselves struggling financially late in life.
In the meantime, working adults may be well-advised to revisit their savings rates and determine whether additional money could be placed in money market accounts, IRAs or retirement funds to help them better prepare for their golden years.

In April of 2008 Jean-Luc Marion discussed his work with a class of graduate philosophy students who had been studying his writings during the spring semester. Jean-Luc Marion is an internationally known French Catholic philosopher and theologian who works in the areas of modern philosophy, contemporary phenomenology and philosophy of religion and is known for his attempt to synthesize the Catholic intellectual tradition with post-modernist thought. Marion studied at the University Paris X ñ Nanterre and the Sorbonne. He did graduate work in philosophy at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris where he studied with Jacques Derrida and Louis Althusser. Marion was also influenced by the theologians Henri de Lubac and Hans Urs von Balthasar and the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. He has taught at the University of Poitiers, the University Paris X ñ Nanterre. He currently teaches at the Sorbonne and the University of Chicago. In 1992 Prof. Marion was awarded the Grand Prix du Philosophie de l'Academie Francaise. Some of his original work in philosophy concerns the notion of a saturated phenomenon; the idea that there are phenomena of such overflowing givenness that our consciousness of these phenomena are flooded or saturated. Marion is a prolific writer. His writings include:

Jordan Jefferson has been waiting all week for a shot at redemption.
That may seem odd for a quarterback on a 2-0, 15th-ranked team coming off a 24-point road win.
But at Vanderbilt last weekend, LSU rolled to a 27-3 triumph even as Jefferson labored through one of the worst performances of his career, going 8 of 20 for 96 yards with one interception and no touchdowns.
Dominant defense and a powerful running game were enough to compensate for LSU's anemic aerial attack against the Commodores.
LSU coach Les Miles isn't sure whether that formula will be as effective in the Tigers' home opener Saturday night against Mississippi State.
The Bulldogs nearly beat LSU a year ago and looked competitive in a 17-14 loss to Auburn last week.
