Gankyrin is an ankyrin repeat oncoprotein commonly overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinomas. Gankyrin interacts with the S6 proteasomal ATPase and accelerates the degradation of the tumor suppressor Rb. We show here that gankyrin has an antiapoptotic activity in cells exposed to DNA damaging agents. Downregulation of gankyrin induces apoptosis in cells with wild-type p53. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that gankyrin binds to Mdm2, facilitating p53-Mdm2 binding, and increases ubiquitylation and degradation of p53. Gankyrin also enhances Mdm2 autoubiquitylation in the absence of p53. Downregulation of gankyrin reduced amounts of Mdm2 and p53 associated with the 26S proteasome. Thus, gankyrin is a cofactor that increases the activities of Mdm2 on p53 and probably targets polyubiquitylated p53 into the 26S proteasome.

Suddenly, I find it difficult to respond to comments, especially on my poems. Somehow I don't feel worthy; it's not that I'm receiving massive amounts of praise, just that suddenly my private life is out there for anyone to see, and I'm not sure how that makes me feel. Only two people know who I am (as far as I'm aware) and both of those are internet friends. To have strangers poking around in places I've previously only kept inside… it's strange. It's what I wanted, so I can't complain, but I'm not sure how I should react to it.
I suppose I thought I'd have given up writing by now. I've certainly been putting it off lately.
It's been a strange few weeks, emotion-wise. Romantically, it's been amazing; I really can't begin to describe how happy I am with S. We spent this weekend lazing in bed, drinking vodka, watching Citizen Kane and playing Black Ops. We're in our late twenties and perhaps we should grow up a bit and stop acting like teenagers, but it feels like the welcome break I always needed; no pressure, no pretending. I lay on the bed and read the whole of Tortilla Flat while S worked on programming, and it felt so blissfully comfortable. Tonight, he held me while I waited for a taxi to take me home, and I told him how happy he makes me. I know saying such things leaves me open and vulnerable, but I figure it's time to grab with both hands and allow myself a bit of bare honesty.
The strange thing is, confessing my feelings to S no longer scares me. It's like all the fear of rejection and humiliation has left me. I never imagined that would be possible.
My declaration to stop abusing my body with painkillers hasn't really worked. True, I'm not swallowing codeine by the minutes, but I'm craving it. In fact, I'm currently craving everything; opiates, cannabis (having a horrible time trying to get hold of any – M will have some in a couple of weeks, but that feels like forever), food, alcohol, exercise, company, solitude… my life is one big craving at the moment. I'm chain-smoking, eating like a pig, worrying, drinking into the early hours of the morning. I have no real reason for it, I'm happy, I shouldn't be falling on addictions.
Yet I am.
Being in constant pain from sciatica doesn't help. I don't cope well with pain anymore, so reach straight for the co-codamol. I'm on Naproxen, which helps but doesn't have the same calming effect opiates do. The Naproxen makes me feel sick and gives me stomach pains, so that gets me down. When the painkillers wear off, I'm reminded how feeble I am; few thoughts are more depressing than knowing that my body simply doesn't work properly. When the sciatica gets better, I know I'll still have pain from a thousand places in my ineffectual body. It sometimes feels hopeless.
I'm becoming more depressed and affected by the constant pain and lethargy. I know that tomorrow I'll be good for nothing, all because I spent the weekend with S. I wouldn't change the weekends for anything, but it's hard knowing that it takes me days to recover from simply sitting around with the man I love.
So it's been a happysad couple of weeks. Better than just sad, I suppose.

One thought on "Limited Edition Prints"
Wow! The print details are impressive. I like how designers, or graphic designers, actually put an effort to execute something subtle and avant garde at the same time. I would always stop and look at the perth signs I pass by here in our place and envy them, not just because on the design itself, but on how they were able to come up with such idea.

I bought this toaster oven for my daughter and she loves it. It's a great size for making tons of things and it's so easy to operate and cooks well and toasts perfectly.

My old Cuisinart toaster convection oven finally died (after MANY years) and couldn't replace it with the same one:( It was difficult to adjust to a one rack toaster but we're managing just fine. Our new Kenmore toasts wonderfully and when baking in convection mode everything browns perfectly. I have burned a couple things because it works much faster than our old oven (smaller). With discipline and a watchful eye I am pleased with its performance. I give 4 stars because it doesn't have two racks and I loved my old one sooooo much but I'm not cooking for as large of a family now and 1 rack is sufficient. *One hr at a time keeps me on my toes but not a bad thing. *I trust Sears because of their excellent customer service. *It looks pretty on my counter. *Saving on electricity because it toasts and cooks quickly.

We just do not get the results we were expecting from this oven. Maybe we are not using it right. I burn a lot of things with this oven. Never had one before. Maybe with more use I will learn how to get the results I am after.

I purchased this as a gift for my mom who's old toaster took most of the morning to get the toast toasted. This works great and the convection option speeds up cooking. The only think I don't like is that the "white" oven has a silver front to it and the top and sides are white.

I needed a white toaster oven and it was very difficult to find one. I had a Black & Decker that didn't last long before the top elements stopped working so would only toast on one side. Due to lack of selection, I decided to try another convection toaster oven. so far it seems to be working very well. The only thing I noticed is that when you put things to toast in the front and back, the back items get done much sooner than the front. Other than that, it is working very well so far. Hopefully will last longer than the Black & Decker.

This is the second Kenmore convection oven (same model) that I have owned (and not because I loved it so much I had to have another). The first one lasted a little over a year, no problems until one day it started smoking from the side panel. I called Sears and was able to exchange it for a new one. I've only had the new one for about a month, but when it's running it makes these rumbling noises every 30 seconds, loud enough to hear from the next room! The first one I had didn't do this, like I said, no problems at all on the first one until it started smoking. At this point, if the second one can last another 6 months I'll be happy, but ONLY because Sears was nice enough to offer me an even exchange. At $70...I would have at least expected two years out of it.

For years we had a Kenmore Elite 6-slice Convection? Toaster Oven & pushed it to the limit every day until it fell apart. The newer Elite toaster oven seems to have a plastic covering over the controls & was hanging off of the oven hence the purchase of the 6-slice, NOT Elite, toaster Oven. Besides it was on sale & the $10.00 Birthday coupon forced me to replace the oven--especially since the door had to be propped closed. The lower rack, in my opinion, is to high & it's difficult to fit 2 racks into the oven at the same time. Personally, I do appreciate the red color, the bell works, the inside is clean, metal, & can be wiped down. The glass window is clear & the handle is just the right distance from the oven for a comfortable & safe opening & closing of the door.

Good Friday
Salvation Completed!
Sick of what passes for religious broadcasting and so-called preaching these days? Every year, I post this sermon from 1937. 20 minutes of lightening bolts of Gospel truth on the FINISHED work of Jesus Christ on the Cross by Dr. Walter A. Maier.
I can hear the modern church growth types now. "Ewww, he's yelling. His delivery style is off-putting. He's not using enough pop culture references or ice-breaking jokes." Yes, this is called preaching, the kind that is the power of God unto salvation. Here is "Salvation Completed!" from back when real, muscular preaching was not a rare thing. Enjoy!
A Reading of Luke 23 – Jesus is Crucified
The Full Meaning of Good Friday
A Reading – Luke 23 – Jesus Is Crucified
What Good Friday Is All About
Drop, Drop Slow Tears
DROP, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet
Which brought from Heaven
The news and Prince of Peace:
Cease not, wet eyes,
His mercy to entreat;
To cry for vengeance
Sin doth never cease.
In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let His eye
See sin, but through my tears.

Continuing Attention to Enduring Issues in Psychology Understanding Psychology, 10th edition highlights the enduring issues that cut across and unite all subfields of psychology- Person-Situation, Nature-Nurture, Stability-Change, Diversity- Universality, and Mind-Body- to show students the surprising unity and coherence of the diverse and exciting science of psychology. This 14-chapter program presents a scientific, accurate, and current overview of the fundamental concepts of psychology in a clear and accessible language, with significant emphasis on applications of psychology. It is current without being trendy.
The book contains predominantly color illustrations, with some black-and-white illustrations.
IT IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING CHALLENGE to capture recent developments in psychology and report them in a brief form that is accurate, interesting, and understandable.

IT IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING CHALLENGE to capture recent developments in psychology and report them in a brief form that is accurate, interesting, and understandable. The field of psychology has changed so much over the years, and so many of the recent discoveries are truly exciting, that it's still fun to be able to pull it all together every three years in interesting, readable prose. The challenge is made more exciting as electronic media become more prevalent. For this edition especially, a great deal of time was spent locating and evaluating electronic resources that complement the text material. Electronic resources are so important to this revision that in conversations the publisher and the authors refer to this edition as the "media edition." Read on to discover what is new and exciting about Understanding Psychology, Fifth Edition!
New in this Edition Electronic ResourcesA major objective of the media edition has been to expand from the text to a number of online and electronic sources, taking maximum advantage of the new media that are increasingly becoming part of students' lives. To accomplish this we have added to the end of each chapter a new feature tided "On the Web" that lists relevant electronic materials including the following:
All these features contain page references to show students where they fall within the chapter. In addition, icons in the page margins indicate the appropriate locations for these features. All these elements can be accessed through the Morris/Maisto companion website at or on the Mind Matters CD-ROM. Taken together with the text, they constitute an outstanding and thoroughly modern learning package.
Significant New InformationSignificant new information has been added on the Decade of Behavior, the Human Genome Project, neural plasticity and neurogenesis, ESP, sleep and dreaming, procedural memory, context-dependent and state-dependent memory, the biological basis of memory, emotional intelligence, human sexuality, the impact of peers and non-shared environments, teenage killers, the Big Five personality theory, gender and coping with stress, biological basis of stress, subjective well-being, non-specific factors in therapy, and ethnic violence. And of course, throughout the text statistics have been carefully updated to correspond to the most recent data available. By any measure, that is a substantial amount of new material that reflects the most up-to-date developments in the field of psychology. But there is more!
New Chapter-Opening VignettesOur approach to teaching has always been to start with the familiar and use that as a platform from which to explore the unfamiliar. With that in mind, each chapter in the book starts with an opening vignette that sets the stage for what is to come. In a continuing effort to make these vignettes as effective and timely as possible, several of them—based on real-life cases—are new to this edition.
Continuing Unifying ThemesAlthough there is much that is new in this edition, the original goals for this book remain unchanged: to present a scientific, accurate, and thorough overview of the essential concepts of psychology in engaging language that the average student can easily comprehend; to be current without being trendy; and to write clearly about psychology and its applications without being condescending. Three unifying themes continue to run throughout the text:
Throughout every edition of this text we have kept in mind that our final audience consists primarily of college undergraduates. Having taught undergraduates for decades, we realize that it is essential to make a textbook as accessible and helpful as possible. We have retained the clear, straightforward writing style to which students and reviewers have responded so positively over the years. Once again the text contains plenty of examples relevant to today's undergraduates. The tone is conversational without resorting to slang.
PedagogyThe teaching pedagogy integrated in every chapter has made this book a student favorite. A chapter-opening Overview provides students with a road map for each chapter. Summary Tables provide concise reviews of the most important concepts (for example, defense mechanisms, types of memory, theories of personality, and the structures and functions of the brain). Key terms are printed in boldface and defined in the margin where they first appear. The result is that students don't just process lists of unrelated facts, but instead have a cognitive map with which to contextualize, better understand, and more effectively relate and recall concepts. By answering the Review Questions at the end of each major section, students can test themselves before moving ahead.
Art and DesignFinally, the Fifth Edition has been completely redesigned to complement the goals and features of the text. It is colorful and engaging without being busy or distracting. New figures and photographs have been carefully selected to complement the text material.
SupplementsIt is increasingly true today that, as valuable as a good textbook is, it is still only one element of a comprehensive learning package. Throughout the many editions of this book, we have labored to produce not only a well-written text but also a full range of supplemental learning tools. The supplements package that accompanies the Fifth Edition is the most comprehensive and impressive yet.
Multimedia, Internet, and WorldPrentice Hall and Peregrine Publishers are proud to present a melding of two acclaimed interactive learning resources: Prentice Hall's Companion Website with Peregrine's The Psychology Place. Both are accessible at .
The Companion Website portion of this new resource provides materials to help students review chapter content and prepare for tests. Practice tests and matching/labeling exercises can be submitted for immediate grading to help students know where they need to spend the most time in review. In addition, chat rooms and message boards allow students to share their ideas about psychology with students from their own classroom or from colleges across the country.
Other materials are referenced by icons in the margins of the text and can be found in The Psychology Place, which is accessible through each chapter of the Companion Website. Interactive exercises, reports of interesting research, articles from Scientific American, and Op-ed pieces are provided that will enhance the course for motivated students. The Instructor's Resource Manual, the Practice Test and Review Manual, and our new Media User's Guide reference these materials, which can be made a part of the classroom experience or used as homework assignments.
On-Line Course Management.

Procarta secures major new investment to continue development of novel antibiotics
11 November 2010
Procarta, a spin-out company previously supported by BBSRC and emerging from John Innes Centre science, has secured up to £1.25M funding to continue the development of its novel DNA-based antibiotic technology to help combat drug-resistant infections.
Procarta Biosystems Ltd, which is developing a novel class of DNA-based antibiotics capable of tackling drug-resistant infections, announced today a round of equity investment totalling £730,000 with the potential to rise to £1.25M. The round was led by Morningside Venture Investments Limited and included Procarta's current investors, Rainbow Seed Fund and Iceni Seedcorn Fund.
Procarta's discovery initiatives target next generation of antibiotics to tackle the rising threat of superbugs. Procarta's flexible approach allows rapid development of drug candidates against challenging infections for which there are few therapeutic options. This raise will be applied to progress Procarta's anti-MRSA lead compound and deepen the company's already extensive pipeline, with particular emphasis on new therapeutics active against Gram-negative strains, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa - a common complication associated with people with Cystic Fibrosis.
Dr Michael McArthur, Procarta's scientific co-founder and CSO, commented: "Coming on the back of positive scientific results, this raise validates the Procarta's platform's promise to cope with the emerging threat of antibiotic resistance. We are thrilled to see this capital infusion which will allow us to drive all of our programmes forward and build on the early-stage interest expressed by major pharmaceutical companies."
"Morningside is pleased to support the development of Procarta's innovative platform to help combat bacterial infections such as MRSA and Gram-negative infections," commented Dr. Isaac Cheng of Morningside. "The company has the potential to significantly beneficially impact one of the most serious public health challenges facing the world today- the rise of antibiotic resistance."
In conjunction with this investment, the company is strengthening its Board by appointing two investor Directors designated by Morningside and Rainbow alongside Dr David Knowles as the Chairman. David is internationally renowned as a pioneer of antibacterial research and a successful developer of therapeutics. David comes to Procarta with twenty years' experience in senior positions in major international pharmaceutical companies, including SmithKline Beecham, where he was Director of Molecular Biology. For the past ten years he has acted as CSO/R&D Director for several companies in the biotech sector in the UK (RiboTargets plc., British Biotech plc., Piramed Ltd, CellCentric) as well as advising other biotechs and Private Equity Funds in the UK, US, Europe and Asia.
"I am delighted that Procarta has secured this funding. The company's elegant therapeutic platform is potentially applicable to a wide range of bacterial diseases and Procarta can now advance its portfolio of much-needed anti-bacterials," said Dr Knowles.
Mark White of Rainbow commented "the fund-raising environment for early stage biotech is extremely difficult and we are delighted to have secured funding from a supportive investor such as Morningside. We have been highly impressed with the progress made so far by Michael McArthur and his team and we are delighted at his recent recognition as the Most Promising Innovator of the Year at the National BBSRC Innovator of the Year awards."

Possible Pumpkin Shortage in the Wake of Irene
It's the Great Pumpkin Shortage, Charlie Brown. Thanks to Hurricane Irene's punishing rains, the Northeast is facing a paucity of pumpkins with Halloween just around the corner.
Pumpkin farmers were already grappling with difficult growing conditions before last month's storm destroyed hundreds of Northeastern pumpkin patches. The Associated Press reports that heavy spring rains forced farmers to push back planting by several weeks, a troubling dilemma since a delayed harvest can mean missing prime Halloween pumpkin season. Additional heavy rains in mid-August caused growth of a water mold called phytophthora fungus in many fields in the region.
But it was Irene's deluge at the end of August that has put the real fear in pumpkin farmers. "I think there's going to be an extreme shortage of pumpkins this year," Darcy Pray, owner of Pray's Family Farms in Keeseville, New York, told the AP. Pray's crop of between 15,000 and 20,000 pumpkins was washed into Lake Champlain in post-Irene flooding.
While it remains to be seen how the shortage will affect retail prices, Pray told the AP that the wholesale price for a bin of 32 to 45 pumpkins has already doubled to between $150 and $200.
Though other pumpkin growing states across the Midwest are stepping in to fill some of the void, farmers still recommend buying your Jack-o-Lantern ahead of schedule this year.
"Just get your pumpkins early, that's all I can say," Jim Stakey, owner of Stakey's Pumpkin Farm in Aquebogue, New York, told the AP. "It's going to be a difficult season."

The first Neotropical migrants started arriving in small numbers a few weeks ago. This spring has been quite interesting since many species arrived much earlier than usual and some that are often not seen until May, like the Blackburnian Warbler, were present about two weeks early. Since the trees had not yet leafed out in April these birds were also relatively easily spotted this year.
Many of the birds that are arriving now will be staking out their territories soon, meaning that there is a lot of singing and dancing going on in the woods right now! Even though most trees are now covered in dense foliage, it is still a great time to get out and see these beautiful birds. Keep in mind that once the new arrivals settle in and start nesting they tend to fall quiet and become very secretive, making it quite difficult to find them.

The Libero - United no longer provide benchmark for City
Published: 10 Nov 2010 - 09:31:52
You can bet your bottom dollar that Manchester City players will be fired up for tonight's derby clash with United, even more so given the possibilities arising from the ever-diminishing gap between the two sides.
Victory at Eastlands will see Roberto Mancini's side draw level on points with their bitter local rivals and go some way to avenging that brace of heartbreaking, last-gasp defeats in the Premier League last season.
But in the event of a win, while it would undoubtedly be a sweet one, City will only claim local bragging rights from it - as far as being a barometer of success, United are no longer the benchmark.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side still were last season, when someone at City thought it would be a good idea to crank up hostilities between the two clubs by posting that now famous banner carrying the image of Carlos Tevez in Manchester city centre.
It was intended as an inflammatory jibe at the team ambitious City - and most others - clearly wanted to emulate. It worked, although City failed to back up their pomposity with victory over United or any silverware, making the whole exercise now look rather hollow - indeed filled with nothing but hot air.
But another summer of immense Sheikh-funded expenditure has put City in a position where they should no longer have to look up to their more illustrious neighbours with a sense of awe - and post an advert to get their point across.
United have in their own way also contributed to the shift in attitude in Manchester. While City's star has risen funded by the bottomless pockets of Sheikh Mansour, United, under the tight fist of the Glazer family, have at best stagnated and at worst declined.
United's frugal transfer policy has hit them where it hurts and with the core of their squad nearing the end of their careers, Ferguson's side is nowhere near what it once was. The manager may laud the talents of youngsters such as Javier Hernandez, Bebe, Gabriel Obertan, Federico Macheda, Chris Smalling and the Da Silva twins, but without meaning to sound like a Match of the Day pundit, United won't win anything this season with them regularly playing in the side.
If City harbour genuine hopes of becoming a title contender, as they must do, it is Chelsea who they should be measuring themselves against, not United's ageing stars and up-and-coming colts.
And with one win already under their belt against the champions this season, City need not get too bogged down by events in their games against United. Three points will be as important as the spoils of any game, but defeat will by no means indicate a failure to have made progress.
City have already proved they have by beating the real yardstick of success, Chelsea, and if they can just work out how to sustain that kind of form against the so-called lesser sides over the course of the season, United might just become an insignificant local nuisance before too long.

Top Things to See and Do in Manila
The island nation of the Philippines consists of a staggering 7,107 islands in the South China Sea, in the area between Vietnam and Borneo. The capital, Manila, is a modern metropolis of over 20 million people in its greater metropolitan area. Manila is a city rich with Spanish and local heritage, having being the capital of the Spanish East Indies for over three hundred years. As in its neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, hotels in Manila can range in quality. Making arrangements to stay at a reputed chain is a good way to ensure a pleasant travel experience.
Intramuros is Manila's oldest district. Built by the Spanish in the 15th century, it's home to some amazing historical architecture, including moats, a fortress, and wonderful Spanish colonial houses. Some were ruined during WWII, such as the Governor's Palace and Municipal Hall. Others, for example, the Archbishop's Palace, San Agustin Church, Manilla Cathedral, Santo Domingo Church, the Hospital de San Huan de Dios, and San Nicolas de Tolentino Church, remain intact, and are currently used by the state or private companies. Intramuros also has some really excellent Spanish-Filipino and fusion restaurants.
Fort Santiago
Fort Santiago is located at the mouth of the Pasig River where it runs into Manila Bay, inside the Intramuros area. This fortress was built in 1571 for the Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and is the oldest of its kind in the country. Used as a port for the spice trade to the Americas and Europe for over 300 years, the fort later served as a military base for different regimes including the Japanese, British and US. Don't miss the Sherman tank, the underground tunnels, the Rizal Shrine, or the Plaza de Armas.
Manila's Chinatown is a bustling and exciting place to find bargains. Situated across the Pasig River from Intramuros, Manila's Chinatown stands out from Chinatowns elsewhere with its Buddhist and Taoist temples, calesas (horse drawn carriages), and distinct Spanish architecture looming in the background (for example, the Binondo and Santa Cruz churches).
Quiapo Church
Also known by its official name of Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, Quiapo Church is one of the most popular churches in the country. This Roman Catholic church in the Quiapo area houses the Black Nazarene, a famous statue of Jesus Christ to which many have attributed miracles. While it's almost always busy, Fridays tend to be the most crowded days for the church.
Greenbelt Park
Greenbelt is a complete city block of smaller malls. Consisting of budget and higher end shopping and eateries, Greenbelt Park has its own game center as well as an open air Catholic chapel. This fresh and exciting complex is great for keen shoppers as well a family outing with children.
Manila Ocean Park
Rivalling even Singapore's Sentosa Underwater World oceanarium in size, Manilla's oceanarium features a 25 metre lond underwater tunnel. The park has freshwater, corals, shark and deep water marine tanks, sea lion shows as well as an open water marine habitat. The habitat is an outdoor swimming pool open to guests for snorkelling or diving.
Corregidor Island
Just 45 minutes by ferry from Manila, this tadpole shaped island is located at the entrance of Manila Bay. Used as a strategic defence spot for the Bay area along with surrounding islands, Corregidor was fortified during the American occupation and played a significant role during WWII. The buildings on the island stand as they were at the end of WWII, and there's a memorial, a lighthouse, and barracks, all to be explored against the striking natural backdrop of the island.
Whether visitors are travelling to the Philippines or anywhere in the surrounding region, such as Malaysia or Doha, hotels chosen carefully will allow you to make the most of your trip

Traffic switch to take place on Highway 371 in Nisswa on July 22
Use temporary traffic signal at Nisswa Avenue for city access
BAXTER, Minn. — Both directions of Highway 371 traffic in Nisswa will be shifted onto the newly constructed southbound lanes on Monday, July 22, to allow crews to reconstruct the northbound lanes.
Reduced to a single lane in each direction
Temporary traffic signal at Nisswa Avenue remains operational for full access to and from the city of Nisswa, local businesses and Highway 371
Access at Highway 371/Main Street will close permanently
Accesses at Highway 371/County Road 18 and Highway 371/Clark Lake Road will close temporarily
Speed limit is 45 mph.
Permit restrictions remain in effect at 8.5 feet wide
Local roads and accesses
Periodic road and lane closures, signed short detours or flaggers directing traffic
Access to businesses will remain open
Motorists should be alert for sudden stops and watch for workers and heavy moving equipment in the work zone.
Once complete, the project will improve motorist and pedestrian safety and mobility, reconstruct four lanes of Highway 371, improve turn lanes and provide a new Crow Wing County Road 18 connection and traffic signal. The project also adds a new pedestrian tunnel, improves local roads and utilities and creates better access to the Paul Bunyan Trail.
The entire $7.6 million project is to be completed by November 2013. To learn more about this project, visit www.mndot.gov/d3/hwy371nisswa/.
