基本情報|Basic Information
Name: ダンテ Dante
Nickname: 悪魔ハンター The Demon Hunter
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Clan: N/A
見える|LooksDante's has a white skin with fair white hair, his hair is brushed down his face, Dante's most obvious design trait is his affinity for red-colored apparel, in the form of a long, two tailed coat. Dante's coat is red because the color traditionally represents a heroic figure in Japanese culture, the coat had zippers on the sleeves and a buckle around the waist, but after Dante's first battle with Vergil, the right sleeve is damaged and Dante tears it off.
個人性|PersonalityDante is incredibly flippant, mouthing off to even the most powerful of ninjas, and he generally enjoys rubbing people the wrong way. He does mature as time goes by, but never really loses his attitude. Dante is seemingly unflappable, not showing fear whether he's being attacked, Dante rarely shows any seriousness. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but he still maintains a fairly laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Dante can seem at times to be uncaring or even callous, but actually has a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fairly. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes cynical quips about it the entire time.

Dante's Signature Techniques
背景情報|Background Info
History: Dante was born in Konohagakure, at 7 am in the morning and entered the ninja academy at the age of 7 where he received his non elemental ninjutsu training, before passing the genin exam, he trained in the normal Clone technique and other basic ninjutsu techniques, one of his chūnin teachers Hashirama.. and his friend Solf J Kimblee noticed Dante's fast progress throughout the training, so he took him under his wing and began to train him how to battle properly, and the best ways to utilize elemental techniques, giving Dante a background on the various elements and their techniques, each technique's strength's and weaknesses, the best ways to utilize them, and more, and he immediately began teaching Dante in the Wind element, which after a month Dante completed.
In his pursuit of gaining more power, Dante at the age of 9 successfully passed the Chūnin exams, and met a formidable Lightning user called Faith.., which later on Dante asked him to learn the Lightning elemental ninjutsu, after two long months of hard training Dante mastered the Lightning release, which he can use very well since as well as he learned the Earth Release element from Faith.. and Mugen Ryukyu, he also met another teacher called Gobi Gobletsson which he learned most of the Water release techniques from and completed the Fire Release with as well and it became Dante's primary elemental affinity, and Gobi Gobletsson was very busy with the students he was training so Dante decided to ease the stress on him and complete the water training under a close friend called the copy ninja, Mugen Ryukyu.
Dante after completing his Jonin rank by passing the exams, at the age of 10, he came to know that the Raikage of Kumogakure Mugiwara was hosting a sound tournament for the first time in Kumogakure's history, Dante immediately signed up for the Sound Tournament, and was put to compete against above average opponents, soon his first match started with a Shinobi called Pain which was a Sharingan user and have achieved the two tomoe Sharingan level, it was a short fight, ending with Dante's victory over pain and him advancing to the next stage.
In the second stage of the first Sound Tournament, Dante was put to fight against a Shinobi from Kirigakure, called Migulaon it was a medium term fight, both parties were pretty equal in terms of skill, however Dante was apparently better, by using a high ranked technique that was called the "Lightning Release: Illusion Flash Of The Lightning Pillar" the technique released a gigantic amount of blinding light all over the battlefield, leading to a temporary blindness affecting Migulaon and casting a genjutsu upon him which he felt paralyzed and unable to move, at the same time one of Dante's Lightning Release clones shot a lightning beam towards Migualon, defeating him, and leaving him in a near death state suffering from his wounds, soon after Dante defeat Migualon he took him to the hospital where Mugiwara personally took care of his health and got his wounds treated fast, this made Migualon and Dante close friends.
Dante qualified for the third round of the Sound Tournament, where he had to fight against a very powerful opponent called Gatsndshanks, known as a high ranked Shinobi in Kumogakure and a Smoke user, it was a long fight, but ended however in Dante's defeat, and leaving the sound tournament due to it as well, little did he know about such an opponent and his vast battling and analyzing skills, it was still too soon for Dante to beat a guy of his Caliber.
When he came back from the sound tournament and got his wounds treated by Konoha's Medical ninjas, he came to know about a trip assigned by Scary Yamato the previous First advisor for the Hokage Izuna Uchiha to Amegakure in order to learn the Rain Arts from there under a well known ninja, one ninja was going to be chosen to travel to Amegakure in order to learn Rain, and after passing a tournament held the finals, it was Dante against Yusuke the best Sand user there is, and after a long fight with using only the Water and Wind elemental ninjutsu, Dante and Yusuke had a tie and were both too tired to continue, from the intensity of the match and it's high caliber Scary Yamato decided to let them both travel to Amegakure.
Afterwards Dante went back to Konoha, where he found the village in ruins, surprised as he was he walked through the village's destruction and went to see the Hokage Izuna Uchiha who told Dante that it was an Akatsuki attack while Izuna was on a five Kage summit in Iwagakure discussing the threat that the Akatsuki put on the ninja world, after 3 months of rebuilding the village Konoha once again was restored, during that time Dante met a lot of friends in Konoha, like Zanshin, Oasis Nara, Scorps, Cobalt, Haku, Gin-San, Cookie Monster and a lot others.
After rebuilding Konoha, Dante once again knew about the second sound tournament and when it's going to be held, immediately Dante joined the Second Sound Tournament, however this tournament was even bigger than the previous one, due to it being a double elimination brackets, meaning that the ninjas will have to be beaten twice in order to proceed to the next stage of the tournament, and in this tournament a whole lot of powerful ninjas joined, about 64 participants.
In the first round Dante had to fight a perverted man called The Pervy Sage, however as Perverted he was, he was also a very powerful opponent that Dante had a hard time dealing with, however the fight wasn't that long, before Dante realized that he can't win against such an opponent, and remembered that he has to do something in Konoha, so he forfeited the match losing to The Pervy Sage, and went to Konoha to attend one of his friend's funerals, and paid respects to him and soon after he set himself to rejoin the sound tournament again.
After coming back to continue the sound tournament, Dante had a very long road ahead of him as he was dropped to the loser's bracket, and had to go against 10 opponent's in order to win the Sound Tournament, he first had to fight Kaziname, a famous Water users in Konoha, but the match went on quickly and Dante won the match to qualify to the next round where he had to fight Anduril, the fight went on quickly as well however Anduril for some unknown reason, leading to Dante's winning and qualification to the round after that, where he went against another powerful ninja called Mathias, however Dante after shortly having the fight found Mathias a bit distracted by something and Mathias made a mistake that costed him the match against Dante, allowing Dante to move on to the round after it, where he faught a perverted ninja called Phobos the Ice user, it was a very long fight that went on for two days and nights, as exhausted as the two ninjas were they were driven by the thirst of power, and the match ended by Phobos's defeat.
Dante moving to the next qualifying round, next Dante had to fight against a Kaguya user called The Doctor, The Doctor used the most powerful Kaguya technique which was the "Dance Of The Seeding Ferns" Technique, making a spiked bone forest in the entire battlefield that he can merge with and move at fast speeds throughout the bones, Dante had no other choice but to use a Technique that he developed himself out of the Wind release, which was called "Wind Release: Take Flight" allowing Dante to form 4 pain of wings and flying throughout the air, making this an aerial battle for him, though the toughness he faced in that match in order to keep track of The Doctor's movements through the forest of bones, Izuna and Mugiwara declared Dante the winner, and qualified for the Quarter Final, in the Quarter Final round Dante faced Demosthenes, a supreme Water user from Kirigakure and a Byakugan user as well, the fight was pretty much on equal grounds from the start, however Dante in the end made a mistake that costed him the match, however he remained the 4th winner in the Sound Tournament, and for that Mugiwara chose to grant him the Cursed Seal, which allowed Dante to enter an inner demonic state.
Rebellion: A legacy of his father Sparda, passed down onto him before Sparda's death, Rebellion possess a number of abilities pertains to the Fire affinity of Dante's, with it Dante is capable of performing Fire techniques faster than normal, while adding additional damage points of +15 to every Fire Technique Dante utilizes, increasing their power, after Dante mastered his Fire Release elemental affinity, another power was acquired by him through the sword, in which he can absorb Fire techniques up to A-rank inside the sword three times in a given day "per battle", however Dante couldn't fully master this ability, and ends up suffering a 10 damage points from the fire technique that he absorbs, combined with his own Fire affinity, made Dante's potential in using the fire element increase, which led him to form his own Fire techniques, along with a few signature techniques using Rebellion, one of them called "Rebellion Wrath" which sends a crescent shaped wave of fire after Dante swings his Rebellion, another one is called "Drive" which lets Dante send a superheated wave of air towards an intended target using Rebellion, Dante is in the process of devising other techniques through his Rebellion.
Fire Release: Dante is extremely proficient with using Fire Release techniques, most of his techniques that he utilizes are fire based techniques, since he learned that he has a fire affinity, he trained daily to become a master of it, and Dante is capable of using any Fire release techniques with the usage of a single handseal, regardless of having Rebellion or not, while having Rebellion, his speed in using fire techniques increases with the abilities that the swords grants him, he devised a few techniques of his own, which is exclusively used by Dante.
Cursed Seal: After receiving the cursed seal, Dante's chakra became darker than it was before, after learning about the past of his family, the cursed seal let Dante access an inner demonic state that's sealed within himself, which is said to be passed onto him by his father Sparda, in the first state, Dante's body has kanji letters all over himself in black, meaning the "Demon Hunter", his eyes widen and become bloody red with a few veins shining in red around his eyes and stretching throughout his entire body, in this state Dante's ninjutsu techniques become stronger, having +10 damage boost to all of them, while his taijutsu techniques also become stronger, having a +5 damage boost, along with a slight speed boost.
Soon after practicing to take control of his inner demonic state, he accessed another advanced level of the Cursed Seal, allowing him to truly incarnate his inner demon, bringing him forth to reality, in this state of the cursed seal Dante grows wings similar to that of a crow but are rather white colored and shine brightly, while all of his body takes on the shape of this humanoid demon, his eyes are still bloody red, while in this state Dante receives a substantial boost in ninjutsu techniques, having a damage boost of +20 to all of them, while his Taijutsu techniques receive +10 damage boost, however his speed remains the same as the first state of his cursed seal, soon after a year of practicing control over his second state, Dante became capable of using a partial form of the Seal, like Sasuke Uchiha, Dante is capable of transformation portions of his body into his demonic figure, like an arm or a leg, or growing only his wings, but it requires him to activate the cursed seal.
Fūinjutsu: Due to his fūinjutsu training Dante has a pair of weapon summoning seals located around both of his wrists, allowing him to summon various types of weapons and scrolls, also he has a seal on the center of his chest that activates upon his death, called the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing, and two seals located onto the back of Dante's hand, these seals are called the "Self Disruption Seals", another 2 seals are located onto Dante's lower part of his left arm, called the "Gaseous Barrier" Seal.

Noonan syndrome is a disease that can be passed down through families (inherited). It causes abnormal development in many parts of the body. Noonan syndrome used to be called Turner-like syndrome.
Noonan syndrome is linked to defects in several genes. Problems with the genes cause certain proteins involved in growth and development to become overactive.
Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition. This means only one parent has to pass down the faulty gene for the baby to have the syndrome. However, some cases may not be inherited.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may show signs of congenital heart disease (especially pulmonary stenosis, occasionally ASD).
Tests depend on the symptoms, but may include:
Genetic testing can help diagnose this syndrome.
There is no specific treatment. Your doctor will suggest treatment to relieve or manage symptoms. Growth hormone has been used successfully to treat short stature in some persons with Noonan syndrome.
The Noonan Syndrome Support Group, Inc. -- www.noonansyndrome.org
This condition may be detected on early infant exams. Evaluation by an experienced geneticist is often needed to diagnose Noonan syndrome.
Couples with a family history of Noonan syndrome may want to consider genetic counseling before having children.

Now she spends her days in the Big Kids room. Kids as old as five, who hear me tease her, saying "are you really my E? or are you Diego?" and declare "only boys like Diego!" I watched E's face. She takes the word of the older kids as gospel, and I watch her absorb this lesson. No more Diego, I can see her little cogs whirring, so as quick as I can I address that boy: "that's silly! Girls can like Diego and boys can like Diego. And E and I both like Diego."
But I'm not in the classroom with her all day to protect her gender politics.
Last week we passed a motorcycle and E commented, motorcycles are for boys. And I asked her why? And she answered with logic: because only boys can ride motorcycles. I told her that I think it's true that many or most motorcyclists are male, but women can certainly ride motorcyles, too. I told her I've ridden one before. I watched the cogs again. Whir. Whir.
Know thyself, I want to tell her. If you like Diego, enjoy him and it doesn't matter what some other kid says. If you love your Daddy's ties, he'll teach you how to knot them. If you go for a motorcycle ride, please wear a helmet.
One of the older boys called her a cuckoo and she was sad. I reminded her that I call her a silly goose; that I call her a crazy monkey. I asked her, "are you really a goose? Are you a monkey?" She smiled but said that boy calls all the girls cuckoo and she doesn't like it.
Back when she was young, in the Land of the Twos, there was no issue of girl vs. boy.
I came to pick her up and she told me she needed to poop, so she ducked behind the wall to the girls' potty. E had a quirky little habit of sometimes removing her shirt when she poops, and on this day she was wearing a dress. After doing her thing she pulled up her unders and tights and reappeared topless at my side in the main part of the room to ask me to put her dress back on. "Ha ha, E's naked," called out one of the kids. E looked at me for help. She knew she was being teased, but she didn't understand why because she still (precious, dear girl, I wish I could preserve you this way) has no body issues. I supplied her with a retort: "sweetie, you're not naked, you're half naked." And she yelled across the room, I'm HALF naked! I'm NOT NAKED! The kid didn't say anything more because from his perspective, she had missed his point. And E, from my perspective, had gratefully missed his.
So why do these identity labels receive such value in the next age bracket? And how do we equip her to navigate the politics, make friends, deflect idiotic notions, and be true to herself? All while she's just forming her definition of self?
Away from school, E loves to watch TV as much as the next kid, and her favorites are Diego and Dora. They annoy me because of the aggressive child-directed marketing related to them, but the shows themselves are not awful. Both teach a little Spanish. Dora has adventures exploring, where she relies on map-reading and problem-solving. Diego rescues animals and incorporates some nice science lessons. So I wish she didn't want to watch so much television, and I do my best to avoid buying the books and dolls and unnecessary related paraphernalia, but as kids' shows go, they're really not bad. I think it's great that she loves the boy scientist. And Dora? She's a cute, curious little girl. Just like my girl. Her baby fat belly pokes out from under her shirt. Her sneakers say: this is a girl who is ready for the next adventure. She, like my girl, exists in a pre-gender politics world. And as role models go, that's fine with me.
Nickelodeon, who makes the show, and Mattel, who makes the schlock, recently unveiled a silhouette of the soon-to-be revised Dora:
And then much of the internet exploded. Ballet flats are not good explorer footwear! She's being feminized with the goal of keeping an audience who apparently dumps Dora upon graduation from pre-K. I understand the marketing goals, but that's what I hated about Dora in the first place - that she's first and foremost a brand. Her story comes second. But my girl is too naive to notice the difference, a quality for which I otherwise praise her.
The full image of the coming soon Dora was released today.
She's definitely tarted up, but on the whole it's not as obscene as what so many people feared based on the silhouette alone. (Although I do think the point about ballet flats is valid.) She gone from cute to pretty, though, and I know my girl will respond to that.
I know she's not the first character to be subjected to a makeover. I know it's all in the name of revenue. And I know boys will call girls cuckoo, and much worse. And I know E will soon be careful not to be naked in front of her peers.
But I want to hang on to my girl - whose lack of modesty, whose lack of shame for her body is probably fleeting. My girl who looks like the current Dora, with her belly often hanging out, or not even covered at all. My girl who doesn't see why she can't grow up to be a daddy, and really, why should she?
She's just three. Imagination should have a stronger grasp on her than limitations or conformity. I know the Dora-makers are worried about losing five-year-olds but I have a three-year-old who loves Dora just the way she is, and who really doesn't need any more help in growing up too quickly.

Fiers looks to make statement against Bucs
Locke aims to continue strong start in NL Central showdown
Jeff Locke has done his best to prove he belongs in the Pirates' rotation for the long haul. Mike Fiers will try to do the same against Pittsburgh and Locke, starting Saturday.
Fiers will make his first start for the Brewers since April 6 after being demoted to Triple-A Nashville later that month. He has made five appearances in relief since returning to the Brewers on May 12, and will start in place of Kyle Lohse, who is dealing with elbow irritation in his right arm.
"Definitely with our pitching situation, not a lot of rest and the bullpen, I just want to go as deep as I can in the game and just give our bullpen as much rest as possible and keep us on the winning half," Fiers said. "The deeper I go, the better it is for the baseball team."
Locke has given up three runs or fewer in each of his four starts this month. He's 4-1 on the season with a 2.73 ERA.
While the Pirates' rotation has been strong, the bullpen has been manager Clint Hurdle's real luxury. Pittsburgh relievers led baseball with a 2.74 ERA entering play on Friday.
The Pirates also led the National League with 167 1/3 relief innings entering Friday, but individually, their biggest workers rank seventh (Justin Wilson) and 13th (Mark Melancon) in innings pitched.
"It's getting to know people and developing trust, so they'll truly tell you how they feel," Hurdle said of his bullpen management. "And then monitoring the innings, the pitches, the ups. Those are things we really focus on. We follow the parameters we have set up."
Pirates: McCutchen gets rolling
Andrew McCutchen is hitting .333 in the Pirates' past 11 games. He has five multihit games and 10 runs scored in that span.
McCutchen insisted he wasn't "locked in" earlier this week, but said he feels good with where his swing and production are right now.
"He's in a very good place, compared to where he was in the past. It's experience and maturity, good judgment. He's a unique talent," Hurdle said.
Brewers: Rotation needs a boost
The Brewers activated Tom Gorzelanny Friday after they sent Hiram Burgos to the disabled list with right shoulder impingement. Milwaukee has three pitchers on the mend right now.
The Brewers' rotation is struggling with injuries and performance. Brewers starters have a collective 5.28 ERA, ranking 27th in baseball.
"It's definitely a concern. It's always a concern," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Starting pitching, if you look at most teams, that's how you win. I don't want to say that the reason where we are [struggling] is just the starting pitching, because it's not. Offensively, we've had some dry spells, and when we've pitched well, we haven't hit the ball at all."
However, progress was made on the starting pitching front in Friday's 2-1 victory thanks to Marco Estrada's seven innings of one-run ball.
Worth noting
• The Brewers continued their dominance of the Pirates in Milwaukee Friday with a 2-1 win. Pittsburgh is now 7-24 at Miller Park since the start of 2010.
• McCutchen has three home runs and eight RBIs in nine career at-bats against Fiers. He hit a walk-off homer in the 12th inning on May 15 in a 4-3 win at PNC Park.
• Locke took a no-decision in the same game as McCutchen's walk-off blast, giving up three runs and seven hits in six innings of work --- his only career start against the Brewers.

Fusdar is an acroynym, combining FUS for fucked-up shit and DAR from radar to describe the ability in certain individuals to seek out and find a way to do very stupid, ignorant, rude, basically fucked-up shit.
Examples: 1. Picking out the restaurant or place of business that is about to close to 'patronize' and staying well past closing time, keeping employees from going home is a way to use your FUSDAR. 2. Going into a movie on opening night, packed theatre, and talking on your phone for the whole movie is a way to use your FUSDAR. 3. Getting drunk at the club and going home with the only cross-dresser is a way to use your FUSDAR.

Pronounced: meth-oh-TREK-sate
Classification: Antimetabolite
Methotrexate competes with folic acid uptake in cells. This results in a folic acid deficiency in these cells and leads to cell death. By affecting the folic acid uptake, methotrexate also alters DNA replication and cell division. Cancer cells take up methotrexate faster than normal cells (because they are rapidly dividing and thus replicate their DNA more frequently) causing their cell death. Leucovorin is given starting 24 hours after methotrexate. Leucovorin is also known as folinic acid and is converted into a derivative of folic acid in the body. Therefore, Leucovorin is given in an attempt to prevent healthy cells from taking up too much methotrexate, but on the other hand, allowing time for the methotrexate to get into cancer cells to cause their death.
Methotrexate is injected into a vein. In special situations, it may be injected into the spinal cord space (called intrathecal administration). It can also be given by mouth in the form of a tablet. The dosage is based on your body weight, medical condition and the regimen your physician is using. It can be given alone or with other drugs.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Methotrexate. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4°), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness – read more about coping with vaginal dryness. In addition, the desire for sex may decrease during treatment.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking or egg harvesting if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
Your fingernails/toenails may become dark, brittle or fall off. You may notice dry skin or changes in the color or tone of your skin. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, which can result in severe sunburn or rash. Sun sensitivity can last even after chemotherapy is completed. Avoid the sun between 10-2pm, when it is strongest. Wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) everyday; wear sunglasses and long sleeves/pants to protect your skin. Keep your fingernails and toenails clean and dry. You may use nail polish, but do not wear fake nails. Notify your doctor or nurse if any nails fall off. For more suggestions, read the Nail and Skin Care Tip Sheet.
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun. Read more on alopecia.
Methotrexate can affect the kidney. Your oncology team will make sure you are well hydrated before the medication is given to prevent this from occurring.
Some less common side effects that have been reported include: liver changes and eye irritation.
In rare cases, methotrexate can affect the nervous system or lungs. If you experience any dizziness, blurry vision, confusion, difficulty speaking, standing or walking, call your doctor right away. If you have any shortness of breath, cough or difficulty breathing, call your doctor right away.
When injected into the spinal cord space, methotrexate can cause headache, vomiting, fever or stiff neck. In rare cases, intrathecal administration can cause neurotoxicity, which presents with paralysis, speak difficulty, seizures or coma. This can occur up to several days after the treatment and resolves in a few days.
*If you have been prescribed leucovorin with this chemotherapy and are unable to take it, keep it down or miss a dose, call your healthcare team immediately.

- Function of survivin in trophoblastic cells of the placenta (2013)
- Background: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide and its pathogenesis is not totally understood. As a member of the chromosomal passenger complex and an inhibitor of apoptosis, survivin is a well-characterized oncoprotein. Its roles in trophoblastic cells remain to be defined. Methods: The placental samples from 16 preeclampsia patients and 16 well-matched controls were included in this study. Real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were carried out with placental tissues. Primary trophoblastic cells from term placentas were isolated for Western blot analysis. Cell proliferation, cell cycle analysis and immunofluorescence staining were performed in trophoblastic cell lines BeWo, JAR and HTR-8/SVneo. Results: The survivin gene is reduced but the protein amount is hardly changed in preeclamptic placentas, compared to control placentas. Upon stress, survivin in trophoblastic cells is phosphorylated on its residue serine 20 by protein kinase A and becomes stabilized, accompanied by increased heat shock protein 90. Depletion of survivin induces chromosome misalignment, abnormal centrosome integrity, and reduced localization and activity of Aurora B at the centromeres/kinetochores in trophoblastic metaphase cells. Conclusions: Our data indicate that survivin plays pivotal roles in cell survival and proliferation of trophoblastic cells. Further investigations are required to define the function of survivin in each cell type of the placenta in the context of proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, migration and invasion.
- Battle of the eternal rivals: restoring functional p53 and inhibiting Polo-like kinase 1 as cancer therapy (2013)
- Polo-like kinase 1, a pivotal regulator of mitosis and cytokinesis, is highly expressed in a broad spectrum of tumors and its expression correlates often with poor prognosis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target. p53, the guardian of the genome, is the most important tumor suppressor. In this review, we address the intertwined relationship of these two key molecules by fighting each other as eternal rivals in many signaling pathways. p53 represses the promoter of Polo-like kinase 1, whereas Polo-like kinase 1 inhibits p53 and its family members p63 and p73 in cancer cells lacking functional p53. Plk1 inhibitors target all rapidly dividing cells irrespective of tumor cells or non-transformed normal but proliferating cells. Upon treatment with Plk1 inhibitors, p53 in tumor cells is activated and induces strong apoptosis, whereas tumor cells with inactive p53 arrest in mitosis with DNA damage. Thus, inactive p53 is not associated with a susceptible cytotoxicity of Polo-like kinase 1 inhibition and could rather foster the induction of polyploidy/aneuploidy in surviving cells. In addition, compared to the mono-treatment, combination of Polo-like kinase 1 inhibition with anti-mitotic or DNA damaging agents boosts more severe mitotic defects, effectually triggers apoptosis and strongly inhibits proliferation of cancer cells with functional p53. In this regard, restoration of p53 in tumor cells with loss or mutation of p53 will reinforce the cytotoxicity of combined Polo-like kinase 1 therapy and provide a proficient strategy for combating relapse and metastasis of cancer.
- Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK) : a potential cancer drug target (2011)
- The inability to faithfully segregate chromosomes in mitosis results in chromosome instability, a hallmark of solid tumors. Disruption of microtubule dynamics contributes highly to mitotic chromosome instability. The kinesin-13 family is critical in the regulation of microtubule dynamics and the best characterized member of the family, the mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK), has recently been attracting enormous attention. MCAK regulates microtubule dynamics as a potent depolymerizer of microtubules by removing tubulin subunits from the polymer end. This depolymerizing activity plays pivotal roles in spindle formation, in correcting erroneous attachments of microtubule-kinetochore and in chromosome movement. Thus, the accurate regulation of MCAK is important for ensuring the faithful segregation of chromosomes in mitosis and for safeguarding chromosome stability. In this review we summarize recent data concerning the regulation of MCAK by mitotic kinases, Aurora A/B, Polo-like kinase 1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 1. We propose a molecular model of the regulation of MCAK by these mitotic kinases and relevant phosphatases throughout mitosis. An ever-increasing quantity of data indicates that MCAK is aberrantly regulated in cancer cells. This deregulation is linked to increased malignance, invasiveness, metastasis and drug resistance, most probably due to increased chromosomal instability and remodeling of the microtubule cytoskeleton in cancer cells. Most interestingly, recent observations suggest that MCAK could be a novel molecular target for cancer therapy, as a new cancer antigen or as a mitotic regulator. This collection of new data indicates that MCAK could be a new star in the cancer research sky due to its critical roles in the control of genome stability and the cytoskeleton. Further investigations are required to dissect the fine details of the regulation of MCAK throughout mitosis and its involvements in oncogenesis.
- A lesson for cancer research : placental microarray gene analysis in preeclampsia (2012)
- Tumor progression and pregnancy share many common features, such as immune tolerance and invasion. The invasion of trophoblasts in the placenta into the uterine wall is essential for fetal development, and is thus precisely regulated. Its deregulation has been implicated in preeclampsia, a leading cause for maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Pathogenesis of preeclampsia remains to be defined. Microarray-based gene profiling has been widely used for identifying genes responsible for preeclampsia. In this review, we have summarized the recent data from the microarray studies with preeclamptic placentas. Despite the complex of gene signatures, suggestive of the heterogeneity of preeclampsia, these studies identified a number of differentially expressed genes associated with preeclampsia. Interestingly, most of them have been reported to be tightly involved in tumor progression. We have discussed these interesting genes and analyzed their potential molecular functions in preeclampsia, compared with their roles in malignancy development. Further investigations are warranted to explore the involvement in molecular network of each identified gene, which may provide not only novel strategies for prevention and therapy for preeclampsia but also a better understanding of cancer cells. The trophoblastic cells, with their capacity for proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis and survival, migration, angiogenesis and immune modulation by exploiting similar molecular pathways, make them a compelling model for cancer research.
- The effects of clinical hypnosis versus Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) before External Cephalic Version (ECV) : a prospective off-centre randomised, double-blind, controlled trial (2012)
- Objective. To examine the effects of clinical hypnosis versus NLP intervention on the success rate of ECV procedures in comparison to a control group. Methods. A prospective off-centre randomised trial of a clinical hypnosis intervention against NLP of women with a singleton breech fetus at or after 370/7 (259 days) weeks of gestation and normal amniotic fluid index. All 80 participants heard a 20-minute recorded intervention via head phones. Main outcome assessed was success rate of ECV. The intervention groups were compared with a control group with standard medical care alone (n=122). Results. A total of 42 women, who received a hypnosis intervention prior to ECV, had a 40.5% (n=17), successful ECV, whereas 38 women, who received NLP, had a 44.7% (n=17) successful ECV (P > 0.05). The control group had similar patient characteristics compared to the intervention groups (P > 0.05). In the control group (n = 122) 27.3% (n = 33) had a statistically significant lower successful ECV procedure than NLP (P = 0.05) and hypnosis and NLP (P = 0.03). Conclusions. These findings suggest that prior clinical hypnosis and NLP have similar success rates of ECV procedures and are both superior to standard medical care alone.

Vitamix Corp. is in the mix of U.S. businesses stepping up investment
Blog Entry:
March 27, 2013 1:53 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition:
High-end blender maker
Vitamix Corp.
in Olmsted Township is part of
Wall Street Journal
, which declares that America's businesses "stepped up investment in the first quarter, as the threat of the year-end fiscal cliff was averted."
The Journal
notes that "one closely watched gauge of business investment — new orders for nondefense capital goods, excluding aircraft — fell slightly in February after climbing in January. … But the longer-term picture is of businesses steadily increasing spending after a big pullback in the middle of last year. The gauge's three-month moving average has risen every month since October."
Vitamix, the newspaper notes, is "in the middle of a $10 million project that will add 51,000 square feet to its headquarters." The firm is benefiting from a trend of "whole-food juicing," as well as consumers' taste for smoothies, Anthony Ciepiel, Vitamix's chief operating officer, tells
The Journal
The company has about 700 employees and expects to make more than 200 new hires in 2013, Mr. Ciepiel says. He tells
The Journal
that last month's sales were up 82% from sales in February 2012.
Sherrod Brown
, a prominent critic of big banks, could be in line to take charge of the Senate Banking Committee, according to
this story
from MarketWatch.com.
The current chairman, Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota, announced this week that he will not run for re-election in 2014.
"That leaves open the question of who will replace him as chairman of the banking committee, which is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act," the website reports.
And Jaret Seiberg, an analyst at Guggenheim Partners, tells MarketWatch.com that it's "a real possibility" that Sen. Brown could get the job.
This almost certainly would not make big banks happy. From the story:
Brown has backed legislation limiting the size of big banks. He co-sponsored a measure with Republican Senator David Vitter of Louisiana that would require regulators to calculate any subsidy that banks with more than $500 billion in assets receive from the perception that they are too-big-to-fail and then find a way without taxing them to offset that advantage.
If it is ever approved, that could mean regulators such as the Federal Reserve, would need to find ways to have big banks raise unsecured debt or equity to offset the dollar figure they have calculated as the institution's too-big-to-fail implicit subsidy. Senators voted 99-to-0 to support the measure, but it was attached to a non-binding budget document that acts as a guide for lawmakers debating spending and tax bills later this year.
Nick D'Aloisio, an entrepreneur who just agreed to sell
, a mobile news-reading startup, to Yahoo! for a reported $30 million. That's a big number, and it's all the more impressive because Mr. D'Aloisio is 17 years old.
There's a local tie in this deal: Six attorneys from
Squire Sanders
represented Summly and Mr. D'Aloisio in the deal, according to Angelo Kakolyris, the Cleveland law firm's director of media relations.
Three of the lawyers are from the firm's Cleveland office. They are Carl Draucker, Gregory Gale and Michael Meissner.
Gigaom.com notes that "while many seem to assume that the young entrepreneur will take his windfall and flee the faded Internet portal as soon as possible, D'Aloisio says he has no intention of departing. He wants to stay at Yahoo and help the company capitalize on its strengths to return to greatness."
A Keybanc Capital Markets analyst
has raised
his price target for Cedar Fair on expectations of a strong upcoming season for the Sandusky-based theme park operator.
Scott Hamann said in a client note that Cedar Fair "is so far experiencing solid early season pass sales and hotel bookings, with approximately 25 percent of the year's season passes already sold," according to The Associated Press.
One factor that may be helping with sales, he said, "is that the company tweaked its payment plan — expanding it to six months from three months last year," the story notes.
The analyst boosted his price target to $46 per unit from $42 per unit.
The New York Times
calls attention
to a venture called
Chefs Club
, a "showcase for culinary stars" that includes Cleveland's Jonathon Sawyer.
Chefs Club started last summer at the St. Regis Aspen Resort in Aspen, Colo., "with a rotating roster of guest chefs,"
The Times. The current lineup of four includes Mr. Sawyer of the
Greenhouse Tavern
restaurants in downtown Cleveland. They visit "to cook dinners, teach classes and lead tastings," the newspaper notes.
A New York version is planned for next year, and a San Francisco location is expected to open by the end of this year.

"Are they smooth sailing on their dateship or are the seas rough?"

The final round of the 2011 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup was a do or die occasion for Lorenzo Baldassarri of Italy and Australian Arthur Sissis, the only two riders in the competition that were in with title hopes, but on Saturday it was the 15-year-old Italian who triumphed on the Misano circuit in Italy.
Even at the double-header races on the Brno circuit the final title outcome was down to the two teenagers who went into Misano knowing that the points difference was so slight that if Sissis won and Baldassarri finished second, the Italian would still take the title.
The race proved to be as tight and thrilling as almost all the hotly contested rounds of the 2011 season, which is run parallel to the MotoGP calendar and gives the teenage riders the opportunity to showcase their skills on the major European racing circuits riding identical KTM 125 machines. It was Sissis who had the edge in the early phase when it appeared that Baldassarri had got himself locked into a following group but as the race progressed, he made the break and hung onto the tailpipe of the leading three - Sissis and the two competitive German riders Philipp Oettl and Florian Alt, who ended the day 1-2 on the podium in the final round. Once Baldassarri had made contact with the front four, riders jockeyed for the front position, which swung between the four leaders. Then with just three laps to go Baldassarri challenged Sissis and the Australian went wide. He ran off the track but missed going into the gravel but still sacrificed his spot with the leading group. Sissis rejoined the race in sixth. Baldassarri then had nothing left to do but to coast home in third to wrap up the title. The luckless Australian made good two places to cross the line in fourth place but was clearly bitterly disappointed to wrap up his season in second overall.
In the final points tally Baldassarri finished with 208 with Sissis in second trailing by 9 points. French rider Alan Techer wrapped up his season in third place with 162 points with Oettl fourth with 141 and Tomas Vavrous of the Czech Republic in fifth with 114.
The 2011 season was made up of eight race weekends, six of which were double-headers. Riders started their campaigns in Jerez, Spain. They then went to Estoril (P), Silverstone (GB), Assen (NL) Mugello (I), Sachsenring (D), Brno (CZ) before wrapping up the season at Misano on Saturday. The competition grooms talented young rider for future careers in top-level road racing.
Baldassarri: "It was a great race. Such a tough fight with Arthur, Philipp and Florian. We were braking so hard and so late and pushing hard, on the limit, through every corner, the hardest race of the year. Then on the last lap I looked back and I could see that Arthur wasn't close, I knew I just had to finish 3rd to take the Cup."
Sissis: "The race was all going okay. We were having a great battle then I just made that one mistake. We were fighting for the lead and I tried to get back around him, he just moved over and I was off the track. I tried, I rode as hard as I could to get back but I just couldn't make it. Still it's been a great year, the best year of my life."

I just went web surfing for a dumas/pittman 500 motor.
Hobby Lobby shows the same part number for 2 different dumas 500 motors. One would not suit our purposes. The other, low draw-long duration would. But on contacting them they said it is the same.
So.. have the brushless motors taken over? I want the best 500 ball bearing brushed motor I can get. Not a 540. Not another. Looking for the old fashion, knuckle draggin, 500 dumas/pittman, graphner BB low draw 500 motor for my project.
After saying all that, how does one know which brushless counterparts are the equivalent models of a 500 in case this motor can no longer be had?
Any sources you guys know of ?
