Article: Quorum sensing in the probiotic bacterium Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor) – evidence that furanosyl borate diester (AI-2) is influencing the cytokine expression in the DSS colitis mouse model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: "Quorum sensing" (QS) is the phenomenon which allows single bacterial cells to measure the concentration of bacterial signal molecules. Two principle different QS systems are known, the Autoinducer 1 system (AI-1) for the intraspecies communication using different Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL) and AI-2 for the interspecies communication. Aim of this study was to investigate QS of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor). While E. coli Nissle is producing AI-2 in a density dependent manner, no AI-1 was produced. To study the effect of AI-2 in the DSS (dextran sulphate sodium) induced mouse model of acute colitis, we silenced the corresponding gene luxS by intron insertion. The mutant bacterium E. coli Nissle::luxS was equally effective in colonizing the colon and the mutation turned out to be 100% stable during the course of the experiment. Isolating RNA from the colon mucosa and performing semiquantitative RT PCR, we were able to show that the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-y was suppressed in mice being infected with the E. coli Nissle wild type. Mice infected with the E. coli Nissle::luxS mutant showed a suppressed expression of IL-10 compared to uninfected mice, while the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α was higher in these mice. The expression of mBD-1 was suppressed in mice being infected with the mutant in comparison to the mice not infected or infected with the wild type. No differences were seen in the histological examination of the colon sections in the different groups of mice. E. coli Nissle is producing AI-2 molecules, which are influencing the expression of cytokines in the mucosa of the colon in the DSS mice. However, if QS has a direct influence on the probiotic properties of E. coli Nissle remains to be elucidated.Gut Pathogens 08/2012; 4(1):8. DOI:10.1186/1757-4749-4-8 · 2.07 Impact Factor
Article: Growth characteristics and imaging properties of the Morris hepatoma 3924A in ACI rats: A suitable model for transarterial chemoembolization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For experimental studies investigating modalities and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) an animal model resembling the human situation as closely as possible would be appropriate. Specifically, reproducible tumor growth characteristics with the capability for appropriate in vivo imaging to monitor treatment efficacy are required. Morris hepatoma 3924A was implanted into the liver of 30 ACI rats. Tumor growth was followed by angiography (n = 10), ultrasound (US, n = 30), native computed tomography (CT, n = 16), and native magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, n = 30) between day 8 and day 36 after implantation. The radiological morphological characteristics were compared with the macroscopic and microscopic histological findings of the explanted tumors. In all 30 animals a solitary liver tumor was found and macroscopically no signs of metastases, ascites, or peritoneal tumor were visible. On histopathological examination tumor sizes ranged between 27 +/- 3 mm(3) (day 8) and 3468 +/- 79 mm(3) (day 36). The first signs of tumor necrosis occurred at day 16. US allowed tumor visualization from day 8, MRI from day 8, angiography from day 10, and CT from day 14. The tumor model has the potential to be used for the visualization of tumor growth by MRI and US. The potential for monitoring therapeutic effects of TACE needs to be investigated.CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology 04/2012; 23(3):211-7. DOI:10.1007/s002700010045 · 1.97 Impact Factor

Article: Characterization of Refractory Port-Related Blood Stream infections in intestinal Failure Patients on Parenteral Nutrition[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Parenteral nutrition is life-saving for patients with severe intestinal failure. Line-related blood stream infection is the most frequent complication and strategies have been developed to sterilize central lines. Nevertheless, failures of attempted sterilization are not well understood. 19 ports were explanted from 19 patients receiving parenteral nutrition because of port-related blood stream infection and failed sterilization, defined as a) recurrence of the same organism after a recent sterilization attempt <90 days), b) recovery of the causative organism after 10 days of proper antibiotic therapy or c) insufficient clinical improvement. Port chambers were opened and swabs were examined by culture. Pathogens resembled those typically found in successfully treated line-related blood stream infection. Despite proper therapy for a median of 6.5 days the same pathogen was recovered from 18/19 chambers. In 9/19 chambers visible debris were found, from which the pathogen could be cultured. Infected debris or infected biofilms in the chamber are the reason for failure to sterilize a port. Lock techniques, single lumen tunneled catheters or in certain settings the exchange of only the port chamber may be approaches to prevent, circumvent or treat failures of attempted sterilization of an infected port system.Zeitschrift für Gastroenterologie 03/2011; 49(3):335-9.

[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 50-year-old patient with alcoholic liver cirrhosis was admitted due to hematemesis and melaena. Endoscopy showed esophageal variceal hemorrhage. A dose of erythromycin was administered before endoscopy for optimal endoscopic view. After conservative treatment with hemopressin, ciprofloxacin, and substitution with blood and fresh frozen plasma, the patient had an episode of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. The episode was terminated by intravenous administration of amiodarone, with subsequent conversion to sinus rhythm. Later on, the patient suffered from torsades de pointes tachycardia. Secondary torsades de pointes tachycardias have a low incidence, but often fatal outcome. Torsades de pointes tachycardias mostly are the result of administration of QT-active drugs, and other cofactors. Emergency treatment addresses the reestablishment, and stabilization of sinus rhythm. Preferably, drug-induced torsades de pointes tachycardias are prevented by permanent critical review of administered drugs with respect to indications, interactions, and adverse reactions.DMW - Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift 02/2011; 136(5):217.

Article: Dual antitumour effect of 5-azacytidine by inducing a breakdown of resistance-mediating factors and epigenetic modulation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The cytokine tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has shown promising anticancer activity in early clinical settings by selectively inducing apoptosis in different tumour types. However, some tumour entities such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) display an inherent resistance to TRAIL. A huge effort has been made to unravel strategies for a clinically applicable sensitisation of resistant cancer cells to TRAIL. Reversible epigenetic alterations such as DNA methylation play a major role in development, maintenance and resistance phenomena of tumour cells. Currently, several clinical trials are exploiting the potential of epigenetic drugs, such as 5-azacytidine (5-aza-CR) or 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) to break primary or secondary resistance phenomena of cancer cells. Therefore, 5-aza-CR and 5-aza-dC were investigated in the context of TRAIL resistance. Alterations in proliferation, apoptosis, regulatory proteins and toxicity were investigated in TRAIL-resistant hepatoma, and also in renal, colon and pancreatic cancer cells as well as non-transformed human-derived primary hepatocytes, tissue slices isolated from human liver and non-malignant colon cells, all of which had been exposed to demethylating drugs and/or TRAIL. Within hours, 5-aza-CR but not 5-aza-dC sensitised in vitro cultured tumour cells to TRAIL, first by activating caspases, followed by a subsequent induction of apoptosis. This surprisingly rapid sensitisation was confirmed in vivo employing a chorioallantoic membrane assay. As a major mechanism, a 5-aza-CR-induced inhibition of cellular protein synthesis was found which led to a breakdown of tumour-protecting factors such as the antiapoptotic factor FLICE inhibitory protein (FLIP). Importantly, TRAIL and 5-aza-CR did not induce relevant toxicity or apoptosis in primary hepatocytes, liver slices from different human donors and in normal colon cells. Molecular evidence is provided for a novel 5-aza-CR-based translational approach enabling a twofold treatment of apoptosis-resistant tumour entities, not only by an epigenetic reversion of the malignancy-associated phenotype but also by an efficient resensitization to apoptosis-inducing substances such as TRAIL.Gut 02/2011; 60(2):156-65.

Article: Activity and PI3-kinase dependent trafficking of the intestinal anion exchanger downregulated in adenoma depend on its PDZ interaction and on lipid rafts[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Cl/HCO(3) exchanger downregulated in adenoma (DRA) mediates electroneutral NaCl absorption in the intestine together with the apical Na/H exchanger NHE3. Lipid rafts (LR) modulate transport activity and are involved in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)-dependent trafficking of NHE3. Although DRA and NHE3 interact via PDZ adaptor proteins of the NHERF family, the role of LR and PDZ proteins in the regulation of DRA is unknown. We examined the association of DRA with LR using the nonionic detergent Triton X-100. DRA cofractionated with LR independently of its PDZ binding motif. Furthermore, DRA interacts with PDZK1, E3KARP, and IKEPP in LR, although their localization within lipid rafts is independent of DRA. Disruption of LR integrity resulted in the disappearance of DRA from LR, in a decrease of its surface expression and in a reduction of its activity. In HEK cells the inhibition of DRA by LR disruption was entirely dependent on the presence of the PDZ interaction motif. In addition, in Caco-2/BBE cells the inhibition by LR disruption was more pronounced in wild-type DRA than in mutated DRA (DRA-ETKFminus; lacking the PDZ binding motif)-expressing cells. Inhibition of PI3-kinase decreased the activity and the cell surface expression of wild-type DRA but not of DRA-ETKFminus; the partitioning into LR was unaffected. Furthermore, simultaneous inhibition of PI3-kinase and disruption of LR did not further decrease DRA activity and cell surface expression compared with LR disruption only. These results suggest that the activity of DRA depends on its LR association, on its PDZ interaction, and on PI3-kinase activity.AJP Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology 10/2010; 299(4):G907-20.

Article: Comparison of different tumor response criteria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after systemic therapy with the multikinase inhibitor sorafenib.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to compare tumor changes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma receiving sorafenib using evaluation criteria of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) as opposed to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Twenty-five patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma receiving oral sorafenib underwent magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and follow-up every 8 weeks (range, 2-19 weeks; mean, 7.6 weeks). Data were evaluated retrospectively. Survey time until progression ranged from 5 to 102 weeks (mean, 25.6 weeks), with a total of 54 target lesions being monitored. Additionally, evaluation of serum α-fetoprotein was performed at follow-up. The best response at follow-up using RECIST resulted in rates of 4% objective response (complete remission or partial remission), 24% (progressive disease), and 72% (stable disease). In contrast, AASLD and EASL criteria identified objective responses in 28% and 48%. Twenty percent of all patients classified as having progressive disease by RECIST were identified as having "pseudo"-progression due to extensive necrosis. Eleven percent of patients classified as having stable disease by RECIST were disclosed as essentially progressive. AASLD area and AASLD diameter disclosed 36% and 40% of patients as having partial remission, respectively, whereas EASL criteria discovered only 24%. There was no significant correlation between serum α-fetoprotein progression and AASLD, EASL, or RECIST evaluation criteria. Response monitoring via functional criteria such as AASLD or EASL criteria is likely to more accurately reflect vital tumor burden in hepatocellular carcinoma compared to RECIST.Academic radiology 10/2010; 18(1):89-96.

Article: Autoantibodies to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors found in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Autoantibodies to the human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor of the M3 type (hmAchR M3) have been suggested to play an etiopathogenic role in Sjögren's syndrome. Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) often is associated with this syndrome. Therefore, we studied the co-presence of hmAchR M3 autoantibodies in patients with PBC. Frequency of hmAchR M3 autoantibodies was assessed by Western blotting analysis as well as by an ELISA using a 25-mer peptide of the 2nd extracellular loop of hmAchR M3. Co-localization of hmAchR M3/PBC-specific autoantibodies was studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Finally, sera from patients with PBC as well as from healthy controls were tested. Western blotting analysis as well as results from ELISA testing revealed a significantly enhanced IgG reactivity in PBC patients in contrast to healthy controls. Co-localization of autoantibodies with the hmAchR M3 receptor-specific autoantibodies was observed in 10 out of 12 PBC-patients but none of the 5 healthy controls. Antibodies of the IgM type were not found to be affected. For the first time, our data demonstrate the presence of autoantibodies to the hmAchR M3 in PBC patients. These findings might contribute to the understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease. Further studies have to focus on the functionality of hmAchR M3 autoantibodies in PBC patients.BMC Gastroenterology 10/2010; 10:120.

ABSTRACT: To compare anxiety and depression levels in adult patients with celiac disease (CD) on a gluten-free diet (GFD) with controls. The levels of anxiety, depression and of a probable anxiety or depressive disorder were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in 441 adult patients with CD recruited by the German Celiac Society, in 235 age- and sex-matched patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission or with slight disease activity, and in 441 adult persons of a representative German general population sample (GP). Potential demographic (age, sex, social class, family status) and disease-related (latency to diagnosis, duration of GFD, compliance with GFD, thyroid disease) predictors of anxiety and depression in CD were tested for by regression analyses. The level of anxiety in CD patients was predicted (R(2) = 0.07) by female gender (P = 0.01). Female sex (OR = 3.6, 95% CI: 1.3-9.4, P = 0.01) was associated with a probable anxiety disorder. Living alone (OR = 0.5, 95% CI: 0.2-0.9, P = 0.05) was associated with a reduced risk of an anxiety disorder. The level of depression and a probable depressive disorder were not predicted by any of the demographic and medical variables tested for. The levels of anxiety in patients with CD (6.6 +/- 3.4) and with IBD (6.9 +/- 3.7) were higher than those of persons in the GP (4.6 +/- 3.3) (both P < 0.001). The levels of depression in persons with CD (4.2 +/- 3.4), IBD (4.6 +/- 3.4) and of the GP (4.2 +/- 3.8) did not differ (P = 0.3). The prevalence of a probable anxiety disorder in persons with CD (16.8%) and IBD (14.0%) was higher than that of the GP (5.7%) (P < 0.001). The prevalence of a probable depressive disorder did not differ significantly between the three groups (P = 0.1). Anxiety in adult German female celiacs on a GFD is higher than in persons of the GP. Female celiacs on a GFD should be screened for anxiety.World Journal of Gastroenterology 06/2010; 16(22):2780-7. · 2.43 Impact Factor

Article: Life-threatening pneumonia caused by human cytomegalovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae coinfection in a young, immunocompetent patient[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A young, previously healthy and immunocompetent patient was transferred to our hospital to recover a suspected Ascaris worm from his gall bladder. Although the diagnosis of Ascaris infection could not be confirmed, the patient suffered from cholecystitis. To our surprise, the respiratory situation of the patient deteriorated within 24 h under antibiotic therapy and he had to be transferred to the intensive care unit for mechanical respiration. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was isolated directly from a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) sample, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA was detected by PCR in an enrichment culture of the same BAL sample. Serology for HCMV and M. pneumoniae clearly supported a primary/post-primary infection for both agents (IgM detection, increase of IgG titres and, in the case of HCMV, a low avidity index of only 22 %). Therefore, we assumed that a rare HCMV and M. pneumoniae coinfection was the aetiology of the fulminant pneumonia.

Aggie Ice Cream
The Animal Science Building included a modern creamery, and in 1921, the College hired Gustav Wilster to oversee instruction. One of Wilster's innovations was an ice cream manufacturing process. "Wilster is now making lacto ice cream which has never before been produced in Utah," noted Student Life. While instructive, the creamery was also operated on a commercial basis, and students and visitors to campus could purchase cheese, butter, or generous portions of ice cream at the Dairy Products Laboratory in the Animal Science Building. Ice cold buttermilk could generally be had for the asking. The first taste of Aggie Ice Cream became a rite-of-passage on campus, and is fondly remembered by many students and alumni.
People loved it so much, more flavors were created. Now, Aggie Ice Cream has 26 different flavors and is known around the world.
Why is it so good? Well, Aggie Ice Cream has a 12% butterfat content. It's aged slightly longer and contains less air than most commercial brands.
So how is it known around the world? A Korean USU student named Duk-Man Lee loved the ice-cream so much, he devised a plan to take it home with him. He gathered a group of Korean business men, who proposed the idea to USU, and in June 2000, the first international Aggie Ice Cream was opened in Seoul, South Korea.
Not only that, but Aggie Ice Cream was also the first ice cream to make it to outer space, thanks to USU's aerospace technologies division.

A device for determining the degree of skin sensitivity on the basis of the persistance of a streak. At least one element is provided which is to be compressed against the action of an elastic system or a spring. The outer end of this pressure element is provided with a surface which is contacted with the skin to enable a standardized pressure to be applied thereto.
1. A device for determining the degree of skin sensitivity due to the persistence of a scratch trace on the skin surface produced by said device, comprising:
a housing having a base surface;
at least one pressure element having one end extending into said housing and having a rounded trace producing surface on the other end thereof, said trace producing surface protruding from said housing at said base surface;
compressible means within said housing in engagement with said pressure element, having a predetermined spring force, for compressing said at least one pressure element against the skin surface at a constant pressure of 250-500 gm/mm2 when said trace producing surface is depressed to said base surface,
whereby said at least one pressure element is depressable into said housing at a constant pressure and therefore the pressure on the skin surface will be constant, thereby allowing a plurality of scratch traces to be applied to the skin surface at the same surface pressure.
2. Device according to claim 1, further including an adjusting means connected to said compression means for adjusting the tension of said compression means.
3. Device according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of pressure elements are provided projecting from said base surface, said elements being tensioned with different spring forces and being provided with similar outer surfaces.
4. Device according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of pressure elements are provided, projecting from said base surface, said elements being tensioned with the same spring tension and provided with different outer surfaces.
5. Device according to claim 1, wherein the trace producing surface of the pressure element is in the form of a rod having a diameter of approximately 3 mm and a rounded tip with a radius of 1.5 mm, having a flattened cap 1 mm in diameter.
6. Device according to claim 5, wherein the trace producing surface of the pressure element is made of a polyamide.
It is known that a red streak remains on the skin after irritating it with an object such as a fingernail, spoon handle, or laboratory spatula. The degree of redness or persistence duration is used as a basis for skin sensitivity. This rough method has the disadvantage, however, of yielding different results since the local pressure of the mechanical action varies considerably, depending on the investigator, the pressure applied and the object used.
A fine gradation of the degree of skin sensitivity or a reproducible standardized determination of the readiness of the skin to react to mechanical stimulation has not as yet been possible. This property of the skin is of particular importance, especially for skin property valuation, and thus a method to provide a standardized pressure to the skin must be found.
In dermatology and cosmetics, it is desirable to have a simple means for evaluating skin sensitivity. The purpose of this invention is to create such a device. This is accomplished according to the invention, by the fact that at least one pressure element projecting from a base is provided. This element is compressible into the base of the device, against the action of an elastic system or a spring element with a known spring force. The outer end of the pressure element is provided with an rough surface whose area is directly proportional to the spring tension and whose roughness is inversely proportional to the spring tension.
By this means, very accurate determinations of skin sensitivity can be made since the skin is always subjected to exactly the same definite pressure. Further features and advantages of the invention will be evident from the following description and from the claims.
A principle object of the present invention is to provide a device which overcomes the defects of the prior art, such as indicated above.
Another object is to provide a device for accurately measuring the sensitivity of the skin utilizing a standardized pressure element.
A further object is to provide a device for measuring the sensitivity of the skin where the pressure elements are compressed into its base against the action of an elastic system or spring element.
The device is placed upon the skin to be tested in such fashion that the spring-loaded pressure rod is pushed down into the housing at a definite and constant application pressure. A sweep is then made across the skin at the point on the skin (preferably on the inside of the forearm) to be tested. A red streak shows up after a short time; its persistence provides a criterion of the degree of sensitivity of the skin. If the streak produced by the device described above is, for example, still clearly and obviously visible after more than 10 minutes, the skin is judged to be sensitive. If the red streak has faded or can be seen only dimly after 10 minutes have elapsed, the skin is rated insensitive.
Any other pressure element can be provided instead of the pressure rod, which can be tensioned by an elastic system or by any spring element, such as lamellar, rubber, or gas-spring systems, or hydraulic, or pneumatic spring systems. The contact or sliding surface of the pressure element can also have any rounded shape, and in addition, instead of the adjusting screw, any other device can be provided to adjust the spring tension. In particular, a click-stop adjustment device can be provided with several adjustment steps such as "weak," "medium" and "strong."
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the device can contain several pressure elements. If these pressure elements have different spring tensions, or if they are provided with contact surfaces of different size or degree of roughness, after a certain time interval a precise statement can be made regarding the degree of skin sensitivity after all the rods in the device have been drawn simultaneously over the skin.
The following sample embodiments of the invention are shown in greater detail in the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an elevational view, partly in cross-section, through a first sample embodiment;
FIG. 2 shows the tip of the pressure rod in the device according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows an elevational view, partly in cross-section, of a second sample embodiment;
FIG. 4 shows an elevational view, partly in cross-section, of a third sample embodiment; and
FIG. 5 shows an elevational view, partly in cross-section, of a fourth sample embodiment.
According to FIG. 1, an axially displacable pressure rod 2 is located in a housing 1, said rod being limited in its outward travel by a stop 3 connected to the housing. A coil spring 4 is located internally in a recess in the pressure rod, said spring pressing either directly on the housing or, as shown in FIG. 1, on an adjusting screw 5. The tension of the spring 4 can be adjusted by means of an adjusting screw 5 that is operable by a disc with a knurled edge. To ensure reproducible setting of the spring tension, a scale can be provided on the housing 1 or on the adjusting screw, the desired spring tension being readable from said scale.
FIG. 2 shows the tip of the pressure rod in enlarged form, which in this example has a diameter of 3 mm, is rounded off to a radius of 1.5 mm, and flattened at the tip to a diameter of approximately 1 mm. The pressure rod is preferably made of a polyamide, however any other material may be used. Given the above dimensions for the pressure rod, the tension of the spring 4 should preferably be between 200 and 400 grams. This calculates to a spring pressure of 250-500 gm/mm2 when the tip of the pressure rod is depressed to the base surface of the housing.
According to a simplified embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the pressure rod 2 is installed directly into the housing without the use of a stop. One end of the spring 4 is connected at a junction 6, and the other end is fastened directly to the housing 1.
FIG. 4 shows a sample embodiment with three pressure rods, tensioned with different spring tensions P1, P2 and P3. FIG. 5 shows three pressure rods tensioned with the same spring tension P, but the surfaces of the pressure rods have different shapes. Pressure rod 10 is rounded, pressure rod 11 is conical and pressure rod 12 has a serrated surface. Pressure rod 12 will produce more of a skin irritation than the other two pressure rods, with rod 10 producing the least skin irritation of the three. All of the pressure elements may also have the same type of surface, but be provided with different surface roughnesses.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification.

Controversial Russian music group Pussy Riot in Singapore
Published on Jan 17, 2014 3:22 PM
On their first trip out of Russia after being released from jail, two members of Russian music/art collective Pussy Riot said they thank the Russian government for bringing them wide attention.
The two, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 24 and Maria Alyokhina, 25, spoke briefly to the media at a press preview at Suntec City for art awards show Prudential Eye Awards. The awards ceremony is set to take place on Jan 18.
The group is nominated in the digital/video category for their controversial video, Punk Prayer, which led to the pair as well as another member, Yekaterina Samutsevich, 31, being jailed on charges of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and enmity" in August 2012.
Asked about getting nominated in the award, Tolokonnikova replied: "It's not only our award because it's mostly media work, and this media work is done not only by us but in co-operation with the Russian state and the Russian political system, which has promoted this case so heavily and has made it into what it is right now."

Often referred to as a poo caused by the unnecessary forcing of a fart, shart can also be used to describe a piece of art that one does not find appealing to their eyes/eye. "Shart" in this case is formed by the combination of the adjective "shitty" and the noun "art", which together create: "shitty art".

Nesciens Mater composed by Jean Mouton. For Mixed choir. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.042-08351-2).
Nesciens mater is an exquisite setting of an antiphon for the Octave of the Nativity, with a tenor voice based on Gregorian melody. It is an undulating tapestry of sonority created, remarkably, by means of a four-voice imitative texture in canon with itself a fifth higher and one bar later. Fazer Editions of Early Music is a choral series under the editorial supervision of Paul Hillier, founder and artistic director of the renowned Hilliard Ensemble. Although each title in this series is the result of careful scholarly research and is a reliable source for musicologists, the series' main purpose is to make practical performing editions available to choirs and other vocal ensembles. The original C clefs have been replaced by G and F clefs and the note values adapted to conform to modern practice. All the works in the series are intended for mixed voices. Each title includes a lengthy introduction in English and notes on the editorial principles. Where necessary, an English translation of the text and a guide to pronunciation are provided.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fascinating stories lie behind the big picture
No matter what angle you take or how hard you look -- and believe us, we've been looking hard -- the economic performance of Manitoba in 2013 looked generally the same as it does most years.
A survey of the bank and institutional forecasters has tagged Manitoba's GDP growth rate at 2.6 per cent for 2012, 1.9 per cent for 2013 and 2.2 per cent in 2014, effectively mirroring the Canadian national experience.
The big picture didn't change much in 2013 for the same reason as always -- economic diversity. But it's within that mix where the good stories are cooked up.
Not a national player... Until it is
The big national telcos were at war with the federal government all year and MTS once again seemed on the verge of being swallowed by one of the Big Three. A much-debated change in foreign ownership regulations made MTS's national business fibre-optics network, Allstream, eligible for a foreign capital infusion -- a mechanism the company believed would be the saviour for the underperforming division. Accelero, a very successful group led by Egyptian nationals, came forward in an orderly way to buy Allstream. The vetting process took place with no clue from anyone the Ottawa security apparatus had any problem until the very last minute, when they spiked the deal. It threw Canada's reputation as a place that is friendly to foreign investment into question and has put MTS back on its heels to come up with plan B for Allstream.
What do you mean there's no water?
As a concept, CentrePort has been marketed as having the potential to be the city's most important development in a generation. The concept includes actual greenfield development, which means water and sewer service will eventually be required. That means underground water pipes and an actual supply of water. A $212-million highway was finished this year, political leadership as high up as the prime minister himself was on board, all that's needed now is... water? How hard can that be? Very hard, it turns out. Legal issues with the city's legacy water supply cropped up just when anchor tenants (a Facebook server farm?) started to show interest. A new water-delivery scheme is now in the works and the current generation is counting on increasing longer life expectancy so they will be able to experience CentrePort's impact on the economy.
They're giving it away
For a long time now, the development of a functioning high-tech sector has been a goal for the province's big picture economic planners. And some real headway has been made with development of world-class medical devices and medical therapeutic technology. But this year IMRIS and DiaMedica left town and Monteris and Intelligent Hospital Systems were forced to move some of the production assets out of province. However, in an inspired move, the University of Manitoba instituted a new policy allowing private sector entities to use technologies developed by the university with no fees or strings attached until they become part of commercialized offerings. It could be a game-changer.
Meet the new boss
In a rare instance of minority shareholders successfully ousting management they believed had lost sight of shareholders interests, Manitoba tribal councils fired Allan McLeod, CEO of Tribal Councils Investment Group this year. They might have waited just a little too long to pull the trigger. It seems despite the awards and goodwill TCIG had garnered, several of the business units were ailing and the bank lender was already getting antsy. So now, months after the palace coup, there's still no CEO in place, two of the units have been closed and an 11th-hour re-financing has apparently fallen through. The news early in 2014 will be either the arrival of a saviour or total liquidation for TCIG.
Explorer discovers New Flyer
New Flyer Industries had the kind of year that solidifies a company's position in the competitive landscape for years to come. In January, it closed a $116-million strategic investment with Brazilian bus company, Marcopolo S.A., for 20 per cent of the company. That was followed by the purchase of the parts business of shuttered competitor, Orion, from Daimler Buses North America and the all-out acquisition of another competitor, North American Bus Industries. It's already working on an all-electric prototype and will soon start introducing a smaller, medium-sized transit bus for the North American market in partnership with a British firm. Meanwhile, aging bus fleets are forcing cities across North America back into the market and New Flyer's red rockets are looking better than ever.
What happened to all those parking lots?
Downtown Winnipeg's famous expanse of surface parking lots aren't gone yet but two potential new major downtown mixed-use developments and the long-discussed convention centre expansion now underway ought to add a dose of densification to a sprawling downtown long characterized by... parking lots. This isn't China, where highrise towers are built before tenants are even sought, but Toronto-based Fortress Real Developments is definitely serious about its proposed SkyCity Centre, a 45-storey, 400-condo project on Graham Avenue, as is local Longboat Development for its proposed So/Po Square on the current cityplace parking lot, another mixed use office/retail/hotel development.
A gas station for Santa?
OmniTRAX, the Denver company that owns the Hudson Bay Railway and the Port of Churchill, thought they'd finally found a commodity with enough global demand to ship out of its northern port that would make the northern port more economically active -- crude oil from the midwest Bakken basin. But then the tragic derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Que. put the shipment of oil by rail under the microscope. OmniTRAX says it's adamant it will test the feasibility this year but it's already a major public relations project causing nightmares for some who worry about oil tanker cars rolling on rickety tracks across all that pristine northern muskeg.
DIY start-ups
The concept of a makerspace may not yet be part of the popular consciousness but whatever you want to call AssentWorks/Ramp-Up Manitoba's workspace in an old Exchange District warehouse, it is an amazing achievement. The headquarters for Winnipeg's red-hot start-up culture was already housing a handful of 3-D printers and a host of other high-tech production equipment even before the federal government handed the volunteer board nearly $500,000 to buy even more equipment this year. Founded two years ago by the visionary Michael Legary and a few partners, the grassroots co-op prototyping/research/start-up space is already the largest facility of its kind in the country.
No trespassing
In the rankings of "hot" sectors in 2013, mining was at the "cold" end of the spectrum. In Manitoba, matters were made worse by a number of First Nation demonstrations, including the attempted eviction of a long-standing gold mine development site near Red Sucker Lake. This year, the province finally rolled up its sleeves and started taking its duty to consult First Nations more seriously but not before Manitoba fell further down the list of international jurisdictions open to mining.
When is the bounty too bountiful?
This year's Prairie harvest was one of the best in history. It came after one of the worst droughts in years south of the border, which drove prices up. The huge harvest this year brought prices back down to earth and clogged up elevators, rail carriers, port terminals and on-farm storage capacity. Regardless of the collateral damage caused by the huge production volumes, farmers would take it over a failed crop any day.

The food was excellent, staff very attentive especially Sarah who was an absolute delight. Restaurant and bar area very comfortable and relaxing in an exceptional old fashioned way.
We were in the annexe over the road, the room was clean and comfortable but the entrance to the annexe was we felt very shabby. My husband is unable to do stairs easily and they couldn't have been more helpful to accommodate him downstairs. Overall our stay was lovely.
