Yuuko Sagiri is a member of Black Label and staff doctor at Mochizuki General Hospital. She's a superbly talented surgeon and fighter who is equally skilled with the katana as she is with the scalpel.
Yuuko Sagiri is a talented surgeon at Mochizuki General Hospital, along with her best friend Miki Tsurugi. Shes also a member of Dr. Mochizuki's secret vigilante group called Black Label as member of Team Ampoule Zero.
Yuuko Sagiri is a main character in the Triage X series that was created by Shoji Sato. It began serialization as a bi-monthly series in Fujimi Shobo's Monthly Dragon Age in 2009.
Her first appearance was in Triage X Volume 1 CH. 1 "CASE: 1 Hell's Prescription I - Cross of Fresh Blood".
Yuuko's personality is more often aloof and carefree, but she is deathly serious about her medical practice. Her voluptuous body along with her looks garners her a lot of attention from both genders. She brings a dedication to her vigilante activities as she does to her medical practice. She prides herself on being able to kill so efficiently as to cause no pain.
Age: 28
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 175cm (5' 9")
Measurements: 111-61-91cm (43-24-36in.)
Far a as of yet unexplained reason, Yuuko's hair will change to white when she uses her sword to fight. This requires her hair to be dyed back after every sword fight.
Yuuko and Miki Tsurugi worked as only support and observation in the first mission of Arashi Mikami. They returned to Mochizuki Hospital for a surgery, then the meeting to formally welcome Arashi into Black Label.
Team Ampoule One returned from the next mission with the hostage that the target had been torturing. Yuuko and Miki interrogated Miss Fujino using Miki's special medicine. They were hoping to find if she had any information on the bank books that her father was going to hand over to the police. She didn't have any information. That same day, Granny Kimura, Yuuko's former patient, came to visit her to say thanks, but she was run over by a car just outside the hospital She had been hit by thugs hired by Jin Masaki to abduct Miss Fujino as she left the hospital. Yuuko declared Granny Kimura dead outside, then asked Sayo Hitsugi to assist her in what she had planned.
Once Masaki had been found, the entire Black Label team went in to finish off Masaki and his entire gang of hired thugs. Yuuko directed the mission as she slaughtered the gangsters with her swords, then she found Yoroida, the man who ran over Granny Kimura. He tried to run over Yuuko, she leapt out of the way, then he ran his car into Sayo and her shield. The recoil of the impact shot him back and into the air. Yuuko slid underneath, then sliced by Yoroida and his car in half with one swing of her sword. They relaxed in the bath after the mission, but Arashi declined Sayo's invitation to join them.
Just as a female arsonist was killing off Black Label's targets, Shinichiro Inunaki, a former Black label, member appeared with video evidence of Arashi and Mikoto killing Jin Masaki. Yuuko and Miki were present as Inunaki used this information to get money from Dr. Mochizuki. Days later, Yuuko was on the phone as Sayo was investigating the weapons the female arsonist was using, but Yuuko left her massage after Sayo mentioned spotting Inunaki. Yuuko arrived at Sayo's location and advised her on how to escape just as she slaughtered the thugs that Inunaki was planning meeting.
Miki contacted Sayo and the rest of Black Label when she learned that Mikoto had gone rogue after a leader of the Kabuto Syndicate. They arrived just in time to assist Mikoto and take out the snipers Kunio Ohmichi had placed. They could only watch as Mikoto fought along with the arsonist, Chikage Hizaki.
Yuuko and Miki went along up north t eliminate Senzen Komine, the leader of a growing fanatical cult. Though he evaded them once, Yuuko caught up to him, killed his guards, then sliced him in half as Miki took care of his followers. They later went to rest in a traditional style Japanese inn, but Miki ended up getting very drunk and complaining about her need to find a man.
Yuuko is a human with a unique level of skill that seems to defy normal human ability. One of the most mysterious things about her is that her hair will change white when she begins to fight with her sword. To date, there is no explanation for this change.
Yuuko is a skilled sword fighter who uses a specialized katana. It's unknown where she received her training, but she wields this sword with the same level of skill she has with a scalpel. She's always sure toe strike with her sword in such a way that the target will die painlessly. Using her skill, she has been shown to cleave through flesh, bone, and even cut a car in half with a single strike.
On top of being a famed doctor at the air of twenty-eight, Yuuko is a highly educated woman. Her knowledge in medicine science gives her a depth of knowledge in how the human body works, and she can use this to be an incredibly efficient killer.
Along with her swordsmanship skills, Yuuko has shown an impressive level of agility,. She can leap and evade attacks of her opponent to give her an opening to slice them with her sword. She has been shown to avoid gunfire and a speeding car.
Though Yuuko uses mainly balded weapons, she is skilled enough to use throwing knives and accurately hit her target while throwing more than one at a time. She prefers to aim for the head to deliver a quick kill.
The Black Label teams use almost exclusively custom weapons made specifically for them. This is to ensure they can't be easily traced back to them. Yuuko's weapon specialty is in edged weapons.
Yuuko's preferred weapon is a katana style of sword. Both the sheath and the handle are white, and the Black Label logo is stamped on the sheath along with the name "Orochi". The blade itself is slightly curved, but the alloy makeup of the sword is unknown. It has been shown to be strong enough to cut through the entire body of a car.
On some occasions, Yuuko will use some throwing knives to quickly dispatch some targets. More often to kill the bodyguards of the intended target by throwing them into the head.

Ratings Changes: Disney, W.P. Carey
TheStreet.com Ratings provides exclusive stock, ETF and mutual fund ratings and commentary based on award-winning, proprietary tools. Its "safety first" approach to investing aims to reduce risk while seeking solid outperformance on a total return basis.
TheStreet.com's stock-rating model downgraded Walt Disney (DIS - Get Report) to "hold." The company operates as a diversified entertainment company worldwide.
The numbers: Fiscal second-quarter revenue declined 7.2% from a year earlier to $8.1 billion as net income fell 46% to $613 million and earnings per share dropped 43% to 33 cents. Operating margin fell from 22% to 16% and net margin dropped from 13% to 7.6%. A debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4 indicates a modest debt load. But a quick ratio of 0.8 reflects less-than-ideal liquidity.
The stock: Disney is down 1% this year, keeping pace with the S&P 500 Index. The stock trades at a low price-to-earnings ratio of 12 and offers a lackluster 1.6% dividend yield.
The model upgraded PSS World Medical (PSSI) to "buy." The company distributes medical products, equipment and billing services to health care providers in the U.S. The numbers: Fiscal fourth-quarter revenue decreased 4.9% to $469 million as net income fell 20% to $16 million and earnings per share dropped 16% to 26 cents. Operating margin fell from 6% to 5.7% as net margin fell from 3.9% to 3.3%. The company's cash balance has surged 338% since the year-ago quarter and stands strong at $92 million. A debt-to-equity ratio of 0.8 indicates conservative leverage. The stock: PSS World Medical is down 7% this year, underperforming the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500. The stock trades at an expensive price-to-earnings ratio of 18 and doesn't pay dividends. The model upgraded SmartPros (SPRO - Get Report) to "buy." The company provides training and seminars for accountants, lawyers and finance professionals.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

umm im sorry she is a single mother struggleing to make ends meet and put food on the table for her two young children. not everyone wants to sit on their lazy ass and collect off the taxpayers money by getting welfare and food stamps, or who is just lucky enough to be able to sit home to take and pick up their child. she is doing the right thing and providing for her children, which is more than the person who posted the heartless comment above. Thats what a school bus is for to get their child to and from school. »

Aberdeen begging by-law plan approved by city councillors
Plans to outlaw begging on the streets of Aberdeen have been backed by councillors.
They have voted to pursue a by-law, but the Scottish government would have to approve the plans.
A previous attempt to establish similar legislation in the city - considered by councillors in February - had failed.
At that time, the homelessness charity Aberdeen Cyrenians said it would only worsen the problems of the vulnerable.

Rubia, Inc. is a New Hampshire, USA non-profit organization working with Rubia in Afghanistan to serve women in rural Afghanistan, through education, skills training and the promotion of their hand-embroidered textiles.
Named for a red root used to dye yarn, Rubia is creating new traditions in textiles by translating the heritage and skills of Afghan women into sustainable livelihoods.
All aspects of the development and implementation of Rubia's programs are rooted Afghanistan, using community members at all levels to help build the economy and capacity in their home region.
*Embroidery is the heart and soul of traditional Afghan textiles. *
Traditionally, embroidery has been women's handwork, done at home, between domestic chores, to enhance their surroundings. Rubia integrates these traditional elements with the new benefit of earning an income while maintaining fragile elements of their textile heritage: plant dyes, natural fibers, and designs drawn from ancient Afghan tribal patterns.
Sew Don't Grow
Alternative livelihoods are the key to Afghanistan's social and economic recovery. Subsistence farmers who had supported their families with poppy cultivation are now seeking other means of economic empowerment. Poppy flowers and other designs embroidered by women in the valley of Darrai Noor provide a legitimate source of income, a new tradition in textiles.
Rubia's commitment:
-Building a sustainable business in a fragile environment
-Empowering women while respecting a traditional lifestyle
-Reviving and preserving traditional crafts
-Using natural plant dyes and alternative energy sources
Rubia's model:
-Working in the Afghan family context with little overhead costs
-Supporting community members running their own business
-Building skills at all levels through locally run workshops and training
-Nurturing creative global partnerships through mentoring and environmental awareness
Rubia makes a difference:
-More than 300 women trained in fine embroidery skills
-20 home-based literacy education courses
-2 elementary schools and one high school supplemented with school supplies and teaching aids
-Proceeds from handwork sales and donations are used to support all aspects of Rubia's work.

Lavazza Sampler Pack
Although I will mostly use this for my espresso machine I was wondering if any of these are also good for a drip coffee?
Although I will mostly use this for my espresso machine I was wondering if any of these are also good for a drip coffee?
mjackson ♦ Larry,
Of course you can use as a drip coffee. They actually will taste pretty good especially the Pienaroma. Coffee is coffee and a lot of espresso blends are good as a drip coffees and also vice versa. It is fun to try.
Hmmm... I think I have to start over with this message. Forgive me if this was sent twice!
I think I am gong to order the Gaggia Titanium Espresso machine for my husband for his birthday on February 12th. What espresso beans do you suggest I order? We have never had an espresso machine at home but go to Peet's coffee and Starbucks for lattes.
And...do you know how quickly the machine will come to California?
mjackson ♦ Shannon,
You are choosing a nice machine and what a nice gift. I would get a non oily bean such as Lavazza. That will work best. Unfortunately a Starbucks bean or Peetes is going to be to oily in order for your machine to work best. If you like the stronger flavor try the Super Crema from Lavazza. The oily beans will clog up your grinder and machine. I hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions.
Which of the Lavazza bag is a blend of Arabica(80-90%) and Robusta?
Thank you
mjackson ♦ Petr,
Thank you for the great question. After some research and looking into details on the percentage of robusta in Lavazza I have your answer. The coffee you are referring to in the sampler is the Super Crema which is a 80/20 blend. It does as the name applies make a great Crema. Please email or call with any other questions.
DRuff Hi Peter. Thank you for your question. The Lavazza Sampler pack is a very popular package. The coffee that you are referring to is the Super Crema, which is 80 percent arabica and 20 robusta. Adding a little robusta aids in producing the velvety crema this coffee is known for. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any additional questions. Happy Brewing!
I am looking at purchasing the DeLongi EC270 for my wife for Christmas. I know nothing about making Espresso. Would the Lavazza Sampler Pack make a decent quality espresso with this machine or should I be looking for a different kind of espresso to go with this machine. I was also looking at the Lavazza Espresso Pods. Which one might work better with this machine.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
DRuff Hi Jesse Jesse. Lavazza is a great espresso to use in any machine. The sampler pack is very popular for people that want to try a variety of coffee by Lavazza. If you really want to treat yourself take a look at some of the micro-roasters that we have such as Atomic Cafe or Paradise Coffee. Pods are good for convenience, but nothing beats fresh ground coffee. I like to use pods when I'm entertaining as they are fast and easy. Feel free to call us when you get the machine should you need help.
I have a Rancilio with the Rocky burr. I mainly drink soy latte and cappuccino and I have been buying the Lavazza Samplers for the last few years. I am ready to try something else, something different and maybe even higher quality (... although Lavazza has been awesome so far). Any suggestion? Any other sampler pack you would recommend?
Mike Russo ♦ Guillaume...Thank you for being a loyal Lavazza coffee drinker. I would suggest you take a look at either the Caffe D'arte Whole Bean Espresso Sampler or the Filicori Zecchini Whole Bean Espresso Samplers. Thanks.
I have a Ranchlio Siliva and a rocky 3 grinder. Are these beans ok for this machine? Currently I am using a local coffee whick we like, it is a whole medium expresso. How intense are these coffees? Thanks
TechMilanoItalia Susan, the Lavazza coffees will certainly not disappoint you. They are not overly intense, but each have a separate, distinct flavor profile that you will be able to discern. They are not bitter or burnt tasting like a lot of mainstream espresso blends. Give then a try, we're sure you'll fall in love with at least one, if not all three! =)
Are these beans oily? I use the Illy dark roast espresso and medium roast (red Can) successfully in my Bosch, but oily beans choke my machine's grinder.
TechMilanoItalia No, the Lavazza beans tend to be a lot less oily than most beans out there but still give you a great flavor. We would highly recommend them for use in a Super-Auto.
I realized that the 3 pack sampler of Lavazza are 6.6 lbs of coffee for 2 cups/day ! How long will the unused unopened packages last ?
WholeLatteLoveRep1 Hello Fred! The beans will last a surprisingly long time if kept in a cool, dry, air-tight location. I recommend a Tupperware container that you can store in a pantry or cupboard. (just not a cupboard above the stove ;-} )

Just in front of the bend of the hook you tie down a 40-50 cm length of flat monofilament (0,50 - 0,60 mm in width), and after that a long piece of floss silk. If you don't want to use only floss silk, then you can start with darning wool and then as the last step tie a piece of flossilk down behind the pin-heads - turn it back to the bend and back to cover the yarn. Then the tails - 3 in number - are tied down - they can be badger-hair. When the tails are in the right position, turn the tying silk back to close behind the head of the pins. A smooth tapered body is formed with the flossilk - try to keep a very tiny space clear behind the pin-heads - we will need that later!

About ECA
Can I say,
the only reason he is there, is because he wants a bigger pay check.
Can we now ADVANCE into the future(past) and send sats up to send channel signals (FOR FREE) to everyone in the USA?? and Canada?? AND mexico??
LEts REALLY piss off cable and sat..
lets take ALL the money away from them..
Understand something about this..
WHO is paying the bills for this to happen..
The ones getting CRAPPED ON, by cheap, low level, Access to the net.
With little to no choice in WHO can be in an area to supply net access, You get MILKED for services. And each service then wants more money so they CHARGE other services for more money if they wish access thru their service.(netfliks, amazon, Youtube,...) So the service isnt being paid 1 time for a service, but many times.
What if' half of those companies SUED back for mis-use of the DMCA????
reading the article some form s are NOT wireless..
reliability?? not in this generation..After 5 years 1/2 the plastic in the engine are starting to fail.. Many cars you see it in the mileage changes..
And you dont pay for onstar? Sync?
You really think they only do the higher end, more expensive cars??
Im sorry, I HATE electronics in my car. And I believe the engine computer could do better, IF they didnt add restrictions to it..(yes they place restrictions in the programming)
1. how do they get the data, Wireless, Wired, Collected over time?
2. HOW do they get a vehicle to GOTO a station to have data gathered? Interesting? that your car has Full Ram, and starts running like CRAP, so you goto a Local dealer to have service..And CHARGED to have it read..
3. UPDATE my cars computer? CHANGE how it runs?? Without My knowledge??
4. wireless UPDATES??? NO NO NO NO NO...
5. wireless Bypass into my OWN net?? Cellphone service?? WHo is paying for this?
Odds are that it collects data, and then causes the care to hiccup, so you have to take it into the shop, then be charged $50+ to read the data to be sent...from That point, they can do alot of things to you.. Ever wonder WHy the service light goes on, every 5000 miles?
IF a company does not THINK a service is worth it...
Turn it off..
Then see how many people Complain.
IF Netflix is taking up so much bandwidth, then it must be a service people WANT.
Cut netflix, and watch people QUIT your service.
There are a few things that are not stated or even mentioned in any form here.
1. The internet needs a few fixes. one that would track most emails is that every server needs to place a tag on the email passing thru it.
2. HARDWARE back doors. The CIA has been installing hardware backdoors in alot of devices for years. Also the Manufacturers have master resets incase you mess something up, it can be reconfigured.
3. Monitoring the net, no matter how thorough,can not cover everything. There are to many ways to Hide what you are doing or what is being said. Unless you think WOW is copying everything said/typed...Or Mabinogi is doing the same...The odds of finding people doing bad things is not that easy. Other wise we would all be under Puritan laws, and every child molester would be arrested.
For those that dont get it, the internet hasnt changed much, its only being covered up by LOTS of pretty interfaces. The old net is still there. BURIED..under a browser..and pretty colors..
Iv shown a few people that Smart TV's arent smart...
1. They dont update the software
2. they dont update the selections
3. They can do anything with the software, and if you dont what they did...
Its asif they put another hardware part in the TV, that they forget about.. And when they DO remember, the only thing they place on it, is PAY FOR channels..
What Iv shown and told a few, is HOW to use the computer, Roku, Smaller computer to DO with the TV, as they would want..Wonder the net, play games, Watch FREE HULU, get Netflicks, Amazon, Any service the computer can run..
Setup to your Stereo, and have REAL audio..
There are so many contracts made in the areas, and they are RESTRICTING who can do what..
That we are OWNED by the state/counties on Who paid WHO, to get the Franchises, in each area..which means..NO competition.
The only way to get past all this "WE put the lines it, WE own it, you cant use it"...Is for the gov. to install the new Fiber backbone.
This is why, all the Nations advancements have been BACKED by the gov. in the first place.
The most interesting way to Protect something...
The Best way I have ever seen for protecting Equipment, when there is restricted space..No where to put it all..
Is very simple.
You place it out in Public, where ALL your employees can see it..Let Everyone see it.. Its like a Large Bike rack.. Let everyone watch it, Dont hide it in the back. Use a couple cameras, and let everyone watch it.
Someone WAS streaming the event?
And how did it get to Ustream?
Someone re-directed the steam they were receiving?
Someone included it in the Streaming services?
This is a live stream, and the signal/data was coming from Somewhere..
So, unless someone signed up to Stream through Ustream and HID/FAKED there information, there should be a Data point of origination..
So WHO sent the stream?
That is the info i would want..
I thought they were SUPPOSED to have some sort of training??
These plates are different color and Stand out for a reason.
Can we Sue the training company? or is this State controlled also..then Sue the state.
"recent FCC data suggests that three quarters of the U.S. can't get anything more than 25 Mbps from just one ISP. "
Number based on Major metro areas..
What I find funny, is the Smaller towns along freeways are serviced by smaller corps(not that small) and are getting BETTER service then in some cities..
There is also another strange fact, is the numbers that they use are based on ALL types of internet..from your phone/sat/cable/phone company...
but no one says anything about the Backbone. and WHO owns that.
Also that the USA gov. already Paid the Phone companies to HELP install better fiber..
Its all a deck of cards, and they keep being shuffled around, WHO owns Whom..
Another vote for anti PRIVACY..
Wow, doesnt this say something about your ISP monitoring ALL your data?
But, can we charge the RIAA/MPAA for the people HIRED to monitor all the ISP data?
Anyone want a $40,000 job?
Ask yourself something strange..
IF they wish to REQUIRE our emails to be PUBLIC..
The I WISH for the Government and Corporations to BE PUBLIC..
REALLY..let them go first..
oNLY PROBLEM WITH no ENCRYPTION is all the fud, that buries it.. anything can be changed along the way, it can be augmented, infected intransit..
Who here has seen those 30-60 minute PAID commercial TV shows?
Have you heard at the beginning that..
"This show contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing".
"Viewer discretion advised."
"Intended for mature audiences only." (Mature takes on a double meaning.)
"Contains scenes of a sexual nature." (Namely, explicit, bare-breasted sex on a kitchen table, to give but one example)
"This programme contains strong language."
"This programme contains language." Or "mild language," even. This video, before a show on The BBC is a notable (and hilarious) example of a program using the "language" variant.
"Strong, bloody violence."
"Mild peril."
"The opinions expressed in this show do not necessarily reflect the views of (the network or production company)"
ABC Family has one just before The 700 Club that deletes the "necessarily".
THE SEARCH engine is the broadcast Channel selection. thats ALL it is.
eVEN IF IT ISNT..
They were running 1999 server software,
Avoided recommendations from server admins,
And NO ONE noticed people SITTING on the server for DAYS at a time..
Sony, main location is in the USA???
Last I heard most of it happened to Sony Brazil..where the main servers are..
Problem with this..
Until we find better, cheap materials..(like Bamboo)
Any place you do production work, will be polluted.
Know what inspired piracy when I was young?
1. Availability..No locations in my area had the program, game, movie, Video, music.
2. Price..If it was Available, it was over priced. I live on a budget, a VERY SLIM budget. Low wages does not give you much choices. IF' I had money I would PROBABLY BUY IT..
3. Store selection..Stores can not STOCK 10,000 titles. Old and new, and the STRANGE stuff, imported stuff.. And if they Do, its Over priced. A full series of Anime in Japan is $5-10, in the USA you Start at $30.
4. TODAY..Its packaging..We dont NEED the BOX, Shipping, handling, Artwork on the cover, or a STORE FRONT and the utilities and rent that it incurs..That is 75-90% of the pricing.
A company can NOW, go to DIRECT distribution, or thru smaller corps that have NO or LITTLE overhead Charges. When the MAKERS of a game are getting less then $1 per copy of a game selling for $50-70 per sale..
Think of Movie and TV, with Less overhead for distribution. What would it cost to do DIRECT distribution? IF Broadcast TV got rid of all the relay stations, and towers they need to spread a signal and just send up a satellite or 2.. They could send a signal to the WHOLE of the USA. Do they do it? NO!.
Why dont they do it? because they have control of the WHOLE system, including most of the distribution. They are getting money from every part of the system.
If you really want to understand this..
Old days the maker of a game MIGHT get $1 per copy, going thru a distribution system.
Today..A maker selling a game DIRECT, can lower the prices and make MOST of the sale price in Profit..$20 game can be $10 profit. after you pay off server time and a few other things. depending on How many people buy the game.
Movies in the Old days sent, in the mail, 12"-18" Reels, 4-6 of them..to EACH theater..which is expensive and a PAIN..
NOW they can have a server and send the WHOLE movie over the net or even DIRECTLY thru the mail on Blue ray disks.
Are these companies trying to make things CHEAPER?? no..

VIRGINIA KEY, FLA. (Oct. 22, 2007) When David Jones, a fisheries oceanographer at the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) located at the University of Miamis Rosenstiel School, set out to design a better light trap to collect young reef fishes, he never imagined his invention would contribute to the discovery of a new species. But, after finding a goby that didnt quite fit any known description, his catch turned out to be the answer to another scientists twenty-five-year-old research conundrum. The larval stage captured in Joness new trap was matched to the adult form of a previously unknown species of reef fish by new DNA barcoding technologywhich confirmed both were members of a new species.
Jones and his team deployed his new light traps in the deep tropical waters surrounding Banco Chinchorro, a remote coral reef atoll off Mexicos Costa Maya which was recently designated as a Marine Biosphere Reserve. The traps capture fish larvae in a manner similar to a fishermans minnow trap, but attract them with a programmable lighting system enclosed in a submersible housing. The lights entice marine organisms to enter the trap like a moth to a flame. Joness innovative trap intercepts fish returning to the reef at the end of their journey as larvae through the treacherous waters of the open ocean. This allows researchers access to species normally inaccessible by traditional sampling methods, such as those that occupy deep recesses within the reef as adults.
Working with scientists from El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR) in Mexico, we retrieved the nightly catches of the light traps each morning. The traps performed well, collecting live specimens from a diverse range of reef fish species. Each evening we meticulously sorted and identified our catch, using a microscope to count fin rays, scales, and bones and examine pigmentation patterns that distinguish species. I came across one specimen of goby that wasnt quite r

Inhibitors of Apoptosis Protein (IAPs) are guardian ubiquitin ligases that keep classic proapoptotic proteins in check. Systematic identification of additional IAP substrates is challenged by the heterogeneity and sheer number of ubiquitinated proteins (>5,000). Here we report a powerful catalytic tagging tool, the NEDDylator, which fuses a NEDD8 E2-conjugating enzyme, Ubc12, to the ubiquitin ligase, XIAP or cIAP1. This permits transfer of the rare ubiquitin homolog NEDD8 to the ubiquitin E3 substrates, allowing them to be efficiently purified for LC-MS/MS identification. We have identified >50 potential IAP substrates of both cytosolic and mitochondrial origin that bear hallmark N-terminal IAP binding motifs. These substrates include the recently discovered protein phosphatase PGAM5, which we show is proteolytically processed, accumulates in cytosol during apoptosis, and sensitizes cells to death. These studies reveal mechanisms and antagonistic partners for specific IAPs, and provide a powerful technology for labeling binding partners in transient protein-protein complexes.

Important sizing information: Helmet Sizing Guide and Tips
gshelton2881 Posted:
This helmet was excellent minus 1 issue. According to the sizing chart on the site, I should have fit in a XXL, but I actually should have been in a 3XL. The site doesn't actually offer 3X even though the only difference is the cheek pads. I was able to order the cheek pads separately (unfortunately from another company). Beyond this issue, I love the helmet and think it will definitely be a huge benefit in the future. Hopefully, I never have to test it though.

2013 Disney Legends Award Honorees To Be Celebrated During D23 Expo In Anaheim
Monsters Inc. and Monsters University stars Billy Crystal and John Goodman, technology visionary Steve Jobs, television icon Dick Clark and other beloved contributors to the Disney legacy will be named and honored as official Disney Legends during the D23 Expo 2013 at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 10, in the D23 Expo Arena at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The Disney Legends Awards program is a 26-year tradition of The Walt Disney Company. The three-day D23 Expo provides a rare opportunity for the public to be a part of the always touching and memorable presentation, hosted by noted television personality Tom Bergeron (host of ABC's Dancing with the Stars and America's Funniest Home Videos).
"The Disney Legend Award is our highest and most coveted honor," said Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger. "It's reserved for the extraordinary visionaries and artists behind the Disney magic, the men and women who push the limits of innovation and creativity to ensure Disney remains truly special. The eight Legends we honor this year helped create some of our most beloved characters along with exciting new worlds and thrilling attractions. They also entertained millions of people and expanded our definition of what's possible. They are all indelible parts of our legacy, and we are proud to recognize them as true Disney Legends."
The 2013 Disney Legends Award honorees (listed alphabetically) are:
TONY BAXTER has developed beloved Disney attractions including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Journey Into Imagination, Splash Mountain, and countless more over the course of his 43-year career with Walt Disney Imagineering. Revered by Disney fans, he is best known for his commitment to storytelling, attention to detail, and ability to develop new ideas and attractions by combining time-tested design practices with modern technology. COLLIN CAMPBELL touched almost every part of the Walt Disney Company, from animated classics to legendary theme park attractions, with stints in live action film and television. Collin's work with Walt Disney Imagineering includes the development of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as concept illustrations of Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot Center. DICK CLARK brought rock and roll to 40 million homes across the country with the national debut of American Bandstand on ABC in 1958. He went on to produce game shows, award shows including the Golden Globes® and the Academy of Country Music Awards, comedy specials, movies, and other popular television specials. Dick might best be remembered, however, as the host of ABC's annual Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve from 1973 until 2011. BILLY CRYSTAL is an acclaimed actor who lends his voice to Mike Wazowski, the frenetic, green cyclopean monster from Monsters Inc. and Monsters University. Best known for his memorable roles in When Harry Met Sally…, The Princess Bride, and City Slickers, Billy, who has won six Emmy Awards and one Tony Award, has also been a fixture on ABC television, where he hosted the Academy Awards® broadcast nine times and found his breakthrough role as Jodie Dallas on Soap from 1977-81. JOHN GOODMAN is a celebrated actor of stage and screen, and the voice behind James P. Sullivan, better known as "Sully," from Monsters Inc. and Monsters University. Among John's notable film appearances are The Big Lebowski, The Flintstones, and most recently Argo and Flight. John's appearances in Disney-produced films include the Hollywood Pictures films Arachnophobia and Born Yesterday, as well as Touchstone Pictures' Stella, Coyote Ugly, O Brother, Where Art Thou, and Confessions of a Shopaholic. STEVE JOBS changed the world of consumer electronics as the founder of Apple, and was known throughout the world for his visionary attitude and penchant for innovation. He was an early investor and chief executive of Pixar, and became the Walt Disney Company's largest shareholder overnight when it acquired Pixar Animation Studios in 2006. That same year, he joined the Disney board of directors, and remained a valuable sounding board and advisor to the company until his passing in 2011. GLEN KEANE has brought to life many of Walt Disney Animation Studios' most popular characters. Since becoming a Disney animator in 1974, he has animated classic Disney characters such as Penny in The Rescuers, Elliott in Pete's Dragon, Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective, the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, and the titular characters in The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and Tarzan. In 2010, Glen served as Executive Producer and Animation Supervisor for Tangled, a story he developed for more than ten years. ED WYNN, a comedian whose career began on Broadway in the early 1900s, appeared in numerous Disney classics of the 1960s, including Mary Poppins, Babes in Toyland, That Darn Cat, The Absent-Minded Professor, and Son of Flubber. Fans of Disney animation know him as the manic and distinctive voice of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. Each honoree receives a two-foot-tall bronze Disney Legends sculpture that signifies the imagination, creativity and magic they have brought to the Company. Disney Legends Award recipients also participate in a handprint ceremony, and their bronzed prints will be displayed in the Disney Legends Plaza at the Company's Burbank headquarters.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Lufkin Police Searching for Burglary Suspect
Lufkin Police are searching for a man wanted in connection with a Tuesday morning burglary. The following is taken from a press release from the Lufkin Police Department.
Lufkin Police are searching for a man wanted in connection with a Tuesday morning burglary. The following is taken from a press release from the Lufkin Police Department.
Darrell Rogers, 43, of Lufkin was arrested late Tuesday night and charged with burglary of a habitation.
If you go to an ice cream or frozen yogurt store, you're allowed to ask for a sample or two of different flavors before deciding on your final choice. However, such activity is frowned upon at a convenience store.
Lufkin Police are hoping the public can provide information concerning an overnight altercation that resulted in shots fired and serious injuries. The following is from the official LPD press release concerning the matter.
Getting law enforcement involved when you feel you've been wronged in a business deal is usually a good idea. However, if that business deal involves illegal drugs, calling the police is probably not the best option.
Shoplifting and theft are, unfortunately, common occurrences in the East Texas area. However, sometimes the combination of items taken can raise some eyebrows.
When you have a phone to the side of your head, that's usually the international symbol that you shouldn't be bothered. Sometimes, we're not even on the line with anyone, but we pretend to be so that we can be left alone. Well, it seems like that's a good practice when you want to steal a TV from Walmart.
Lufkin Police are looking to the public to help find a Lufkin man who has been missing since January 6th.
The police issued the following release this evening:
Los Regios Restaurant on North Raguet in Lufkin was the location of an aggravated robbery last night and law enforcement officials are looking for the suspect(s).
Lufkin police are searching for a man who tried to rob the First Bank and Trust located at 541 South Timberland Drive. The attempted robbery took place just after 3:30 Monday afternoon.
UPDATED - After receiving a tip from someone who was alerted to this story, the missing person has been located at the GODTEL shelter in Nacogdoches.
Lufkin Police are asking for your help in finding a 49 year old man who has not been heard from since last Friday.
We've seen them throughout the city intersections -- folks begging for money.
In the city of Lufkin, you can usually find someone asking for money at the South Loop and Business 59 intersection.
Ever wonder what might happen if you had two people begging on the same corner. It did happen, and check out the Lufkin Police Department report after the jump to find out the end result.

What Are You Reading? with Jason Green
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at the comics, books and other things we've read this week. Today our special guest is Jason Green.

Food or Comics? | Everybody wants a piece of the Action
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a "Splurge" item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Graeme McMillan
It's a slow week, this week; if I had $15, I'd use it to catch up on some recent enjoyments like Action Comics #3 (DC, $3.99) and OMAC #3 (DC, $2.99), two of my favorite titles from the New 52 relaunch–OMAC in particular has been a really weird and wonderful joy–as well as the final issue of Marvel's great and sadly underrated Mystic revival (#4, $2.99). I'd also see if the parody-tastic Shame Itself #1 (Marvel, $3.99) lives up to its potential, because "Wyatt Cenac + Colleen Coover" sounds pretty promising to these ears.

Seasonal specials are often available.Call 1-866-842-4355 for details.
Consider placing a new Colgate 26 in the Offshore Sailing School Lease Management Program. You can enjoy sailing it with owner privileges, while getting a modest return over a two or three year lease period. The boat will be docked at one of Offshore Sailing School's Florida, New York or New Jersey campuses and may be moved around seasonally. While under Offshore Sailing School's care - maintenance, docking and insurance are covered by the school. At the end of the lease you get the boat in good condition, ready to sail. Here's the deal:
If you race in Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF) races, consider upgrading to this package, designed by Jim Taylor (designer of the C26) and North Sails. The package includes a larger mainsail, a genoa jib and larger spinnaker (with a longer spinnaker pole, genoa tracks and cars). If you are buying a new boat, the genoa tracks and cars will be installed by Precision Boat Works, manufacturer of the Colgate 26. If you wish to add the Performance Package to your existing C26, the installation is relatively easy. Here's what's included:
Offshore Sailing School updates its fleet regularly with older boats available for sale. Contact Us for location and more details.
Either can be delivered to new owner for $3.00 a mile.
The Colgate 26 has exceeded my expectations, as I was looking for an affordable daysailer that I could competitively race. What stands out after sailing the boat for the past several seasons is the large user-friendly cockpit. The boat has all the lines to shape the sails to make the Colgate go fast and lines are easily accessible, which makes it easy to sail when I am just out sailing (Speedway Boogie) with a few friends who are not sailors.

FBReader and html files
It's only recently that I realized that when FBReader encounters text in <h1>, <h2>, <h3> etc. elements in an html file that it automatically begins a new page. Great for chapter beginnings. And I'll just use <strong> for subheadings, not <h4>.
I've been searching for a page-break-before capability and here it is. I presume that in the FB2 format you can specify something like this in the file, but I haven't gotten very far in understanding the FB2 schema. But I'm really wondering how to do the same using Plucker. Would Plucker execute a CSS page-break-before:always setting? While I like this unexpected aspect of html files in FBReader, I'm wondering if there is some way to get it to follow links, at least within the same document. I put together some test files and see that a simple internal link is recognized by FBReader to the extent that it formats the link properly but won't actually jump to the anchored spot. Nor will it follow a link to another installed book/html file. Internal links in Plucker files, on the other, do work fine. If someone has any experience that would shed light on this, please advise or: Misha, got answers? Roger Last edited by rsperberg; 01-12-2006 at 11:25 PM. |

I've sent the files as requested.
I made my initial tests because I was hopeful of linking between documents and sidestepping the necessity of combining them into one large file in advance. I think linking between separate documents that are either in the same zip archive or in the same folder would be extremely helpful in FBReader. For instance, the books at the University of Adelaide consist of one chapter per html file; for instance, try this link to George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London": etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/o/orwell/george/o79d/o79d.zip , and you will see. As it is, right now these are fine in a browser but only awkwardly readable in FBReader. I would say that expanding linking this way would be one of the three most useful features that could be added to FBReader that are not already on the roadmap. (The others are accommodating multimedia -- like swf or svg, or audio and video files -- either via plug-in or by calling an external program; and accepting a file with an arbitrary XML vocabulary -- Simplified DocBook, TEI-lite, my work DTD -- and allowing the user to indicate how the block and inline elements should be displayed.) |

Free your creativity
Unleash your artist self by using Sketchbook Express, a free application that's easy to use.
While MS Paint was part of Windows, Apple somehow missed the opportunity to target casual doodlers with a well-designed native app. This is where Autodesk Sketchbook Express, a free application, comes into the picture. It will likely become a favorite of casual artists for creating quick sketches and drawings.
Sketchbook Express feels like a native Apple app in that it's simple and easy to use. Its well-conceived interface will pleasantly surprise you at first launch, giving you the feeling of a sketchbook. The toolbar is simple and powerful above the fresh, white canvas, and a variety of pens, pencils, brushes, and erasers will appear as you click on them. We also liked the horizontal placement of the toolbar, as it feels more natural for drawing than if it was placed vertically. We liked how everything resembles the look and feel of a sketchbook and the physical accessories that an artists uses while drawing. There is also a crescent in the bottom left for different controls. The artist can just close the vertical toolbar and enjoy how the fresh canvas expands.
Casual users will enjoy using the app with their MacBook's trackpad and touch button. Advanced users will want a Wacom tablet, but using the application is as easy as can be. The app does have drawbacks, though. The biggest one is that Sketchbook Express won't let users create more than six layers. Secondly, the layers cannot be saved individually. This means the image must be flattened before saving, unless you choose the PSD format (by default the application saves your work in TIF format).
Despite its limitations, Sketchbook Express excels at what it is aiming to do. It creates a platform where artists can create their sketches in no time without any bothersome ads or pushes for the Pro version, which allows unlimited layers.

you guys been watching to many 007 movies
This is a discussion on Special Wallet... within the Defensive Knives & Other Weapons forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; you guys been watching to many 007 movies...
In truth, I'd rather give up my wallet, and watch dude run away... I never have any cash to worry about, and my credit cards are all limited liability, as long as I call the 1-800 number within 24 hours.
The alternative might be a really pissed off druggie, that does not appreciate your sense of humor.
If someone wants my wallet, they can have it. THEN, there will likely be a slightly different and louder explosion and flash.
What Would Gumby Do?
"Just getting a concealed carry permit means you haven't commited a crime yet. CCP holders commit crimes." Daniel Vice, senior attorney for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, quoted on Fox & Friends, 8 Jul, 2008
(Sometimes) "a fight avioded is a fight won." ... claude clay
IIRC, didn't the ATF classify the other kind of wallet holsters as AOWs if they totally covered the gun? I seem to remember a letter at the shop where I used to work about that but can't find it now.
Years ago in a security magazine that i used to get they sold a hollowed out stack of what looked like money, you need to glue on the top bill to complete the stack. The stack then would rest on a magnetitc base that would keep the contacts open. When you got held up you would throw the pack of money in the rest of the cash or hand the BG the stack. Once out the door you hit a clicker like a garage door opener and the pack would explode the dye pack.
I would buy something like this, but would hope I didnt forget which pocket it was in when buying my next happy meal.

Couple of odd wallets
exploding money pac...tear gas or dye.
To the OP: Wouldn't that qualify as "AOW"?...and subject to BATFE regulation?
Magazine <> clip - know the difference
martyr is a fancy name for crappy fighter
You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
Isn't the ideal outcome of using a decoy wallet that the robber take it and leave us be with no further interaction? Wouldn't some sort of exploding gag wallet just serve to escalate the situation?
Now that Sharper Image is out of business, and assuming you don't have access to "Q" branch - what do you figure it will cost you to construct an auto tasing wallet with blinding flash and deafening report?
How about this:
Buy an extra wallet from Walmart - $4.87
Seed it with a handful of small bills - ~$14
Seed it with those bogus credit cards that come in the mail - $0
Seed it with pictures of ugly kids downloaded off the internet - $0
Total cost: <$20 and there's a decent chance the perp will pick it up, glance at it and be on his way. If not, you're no worse off than you were before, and your robber isn't all bent out of shape over a dye pack ruining his new ecru Armani jacket. (In my tactical planning, it's always one of the Queer Eye guys accosting me. A shrink would have a field day with that.)
Having said that, where would you put a decoy wallet? My pockets are full up with real wallet, cash, keys, pocket knife and reloads.

Will This Downgrade Hurt Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) Today? (Update)
Update (9:50 a.m.): Updated with Tuesday market open information.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Jefferies raised its target price on Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL - Get Report) to $58 and set a "buy" rating. The firm cited valuation and the company's superior operating performance and improving balance sheet as the reasons for the increase.
The stock was rising 1.02% to $51.36 at 9:46 a.m. on Tuesday.
- RCL's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 101.66% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 40.65% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Turning to the future, naturally, any stock can fall in a major bear market. However, in almost any other environment, the stock should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed nice gains in the past year.
- ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES LTD reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES LTD increased its bottom line by earning $2.14 versus $0.07 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.31 versus $2.14).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry. The net income increased by 101.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$392.80 million to $7.02 million.

Dr. Andrew Sneddon discovered that American novelist Mark Twain's ancestor was the 'witchfinder general' during the Islandmagee Witch Trial in Belfast in the 18th century.
In his 2013 book, "Possessed by the Devil: The History of the Islandmagee Witches & Ireland's Only Witchcraft Mass Trial" Sneddon found that witch hunter Edward Clements was the uncle of American author Samuel Clemens, who is better known by his pen name Mark Twain.
During the 1711 witch hunt eight old women in Islandmagee in Ulster were found guilty of bewitching 18 year old Mary Dunbar, who came to Islandmagee to comfort her cousin after the death of a relative whom local people believed had been bewitched.
People claimed that Dunbar had screaming fits, vomited pins, feathers and cotton, and had angry reactions to prayers. Within a month she accused eight women who tried without defence lawyers. The only evidence offered during their trial was from Dunbar.
Sneddon, who lectures at the University Of Ulster, said about Edward Clement's role in the trial, "He was the witchfinder or witch hunter investigator. He was up to his neck in this witchcraft trial."
The eight women were jailed for a year and were held in the stocks four times on market day where they were pelted with vegetables and fruit. The rest of Dunbar's story is unknown as many documents were destroyed.
Sneddon believes that Dunbar accused the eight women of witchcraft for sexual attention. He said, "During her fits, she had the young local men in her bedroom- which would never normally have happened back then." He added, "They were holding her down as she was writhing on the bed . . . maybe she did it for sexual pleasure or sexual attention."
Sneddon teaches the only history course in Ireland about the great witch hunts in Europe between 1500 and 1800. He says that many people assume that Ireland was not part of the witch hunt. He told the Carrickfergus Times, "The mass trial of the Islandmagee Witches in Carrickfergus in 1711 demonstrates that fear surrounding witchcraft was indeed present in Ireland." The events in Islandmagee were the last witch hunt in Ireland.

Depression is a global public health concern. The World Health Organization estimates that "depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and is a major contributor to the global burden of disease," affecting 350 million people globally, including nearly 7% of adults in the United States.
Although antidepressant drugs are available, millions of depression patients are poorly served by current therapies, many of which require several weeks before therapeutic benefits are achieved.
Ketamine, a classic NMDA receptor (NMDAR) channel blocker, has been shown in clinical trials conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and others to act rapidly to alleviate symptoms of depression in treatment-resistant patients suffering with Major Depressive Disorder. However, the potential for widespread clinical use of ketamine has been severely limited by its high risk for abuse and behavioral impairment, and its requirement for i.v. administration in a clinical setting.
VistaGen's AV-101 is a novel, potent, oral NMDAR glycineB-site antagonist. In preclinical studies, AV-101 has demonstrated the robust, rapid-onset, antidepressant-like activity of ketamine, without any signs of ketamine's side effects. Additionally, in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I clinical studies, AV-101 was well-tolerated, without any serious adverse events. There were no signs of sedation, hallucinations or the schizophrenia-like side effects often associated with ketamine and other classic NMDAR channel blockers.
In February 2015, we entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Under this agreement, we will collaborate on an NIH-sponsored Phase 2 clinical study of AV-101 in subjects with Major Depressive Disorder. The study is expected to begin in early-2015 to address the high unmet need for a safe, faster-acting and more effective treatment for depression. For more information, read the following press release: VistaGen and NIH Sign Agreement for NIH-Sponsored Phase 2 Study of Orally-Active AV-101 in Major Depressive Disorder.
With mature, functional human heart cells and liver cells produced using our proprietary pluripotent stem cell technology, we have developed two novel customized human cellular bioassay systems, CardioSafe 3D and LiverSafe 3D, for predicting heart toxicity and liver toxicity of new drug candidates in vitro, long before they are ever tested in animal or human studies. We use CardioSafe 3D and LiverSafe 3D to advance our internal drug rescue programs, which are focused on producing new, safer variants of drug candidates previously optimized and tested for efficacy by pharmaceutical companies but terminated before FDA approval due to heart or liver toxicity concerns. Our initial drug rescue programs are focused on novel therapies for cancer.
