With the two freeride trails, "Himmelfahrt - Ascension Trail" and "Höllenritt - Ride to Hell" - two mountain bike routes with very different technical and conditional requirements - Mayrhofen in Zillertal has created a true downhill paradise. In addition to the many existing cross country routes, the Action Mount Penken offers mountain bike trails for absolutely every level of ability. The Mayrhofner Bergbahnen Lifts provide a convenient ascent with lifts and gondolas, which comfortably transport bikers and their bikes right up to over 2,000 metres above sea level.
Mountain bikers discovered the potential of the Penken long ago. Freeriders particularly like the narrow trails – so-called singletracks.The "Himmelfahrt - Ascension Trail" is of medium difficulty and offers in addition to a slightly easier route, plenty of varied options for experienced mountain bikers and action lovers.
The difficulty of the route can be varied with challenging obstacles and various North Shore elements. Freeriders can test their skills on jumps, banked curves and wave lines. Only natural materials such as wood, earth and stone were used for the construction of the North Shore obstacles. Of course, all obstacles can be easily avoided by taking the "chickenway" out.
At the end you can either carry on cycling through the Horberg Valley on existing bike trails back down to your original starting point at the Penken Lifts, or take the "Höllenritt - Ride to Hell" trail back down to the valley. This was specifically created for advanced downhill mountain bikers.
Speed junkies can rely on the assistance of the Mayrhofen-Bergbahnen Lift Co. to help the access the single trails on Mount Penken. The Penken Lifts alone can transport four bikes per gondola. The "Lift and Bike" combination ticket makes it possible for you to indulge in countless descents - and adrenalin kicks - every day in Mayrhofen!
Trial bike station for beginners
Holiday makers, who don"t immediately dare to try a mountain bike tour on Mount Penken, have the opportunity to watch the experts at work from a well signposted family walking trail.
Even though the walking and bike trails are separate, in Mayrhofen you have the chance to admire the mountain bikers at play from the safety of a walking trail. Not only that, you also have the opportunity to get a feel for the sport and test the challenging conditions at a CUBE-Bike trial station.
Those that want to go one step further can, for example, book a guided tour with Seasonality, local specialists in guided freeride tours, or a beginner`s tour with the well-known bike station, Max Hürzeler in the centre of town. Take the opportunity to discover Mayrhofen and the surrounding area on a myriad of beautiful trails in the comforting presence of an experienced guide.
"RideAble Project"
Single trail in the neighbouring Zillertal Arena Region
The 5.2 km Singletrail Wiesenalm, "RideAble Project" , enhances the choice of rides for adventurous hobby bikers in the Zillertal Valley.

The Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP is investigating two cabin break-ins, which occurred recently on the Trans-Labrador Highway.
During one incident, which occurred between June 8-11 on Route 500, the suspect(s) attempted to steal a boat and successfully stole a trail camera. Also stolen during the break-in was some liquor and other sundry items.
The other break-in occurred between June 9-10 at Edwards Brook, but it is believed that nothing was stolen during this incident.
"RCMP are asking cabin owners to be vigilant and to report any other thefts or suspicious persons or vehicles in the area," Staff Sgt Don Rogers said in a news release.
The RCMP is also asking that anyone with information about the cabin break-ins to contact the Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP at (709)-896-3383 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

*All in an Easter garden, Before the break of day, An angel came for Jesus, And rolled the stone away, But when his friends came seeking, With myrrh and spices rare, They found the angels at the door, But Jesus was not there. All in an Easter garden, Where water lilies bloom, The angels gave their message, Beside and empty tomb, "He is not here but come and see, The place where Jesus lay, The Lord of life is risen indeed, For this is Easter day."

We could have a long laundry list i'm sure of, but i want to focus on one aspect of his philosophy....well let's up that to 3 aspects:
What do you guys/gals think of:
1) Him leaving a pitcher in to hit for himself, only yanking him in the next half inning when he gives up a hit (He did this with Belisle today, and he has done it alot in the past)?
2) Having BobBooneinitis. Otherwise known as the fear of using the same starting lineup 2 days in a row?
3) After Countlangus walks the first batter today, he left him in to face a Right handed hitter, which he walked. At this point, apparently the pitcher doesn't have a feel for his pitches or a hot hand, so why does he leave him in for a 3rd batter (which he ended up walking)? I feel that if he was like a successful manager who went with what was working, instead of what SHOULD work, then he would have more success.
I feel like these 3 things have been the downfall of Jerry Narron. They are things that frustrate me to no end.
Anyone have any thoughts on these 3 issues with Narron?

Since you're the only one that bit. 3500$ is a reasonable number. My estimate of 1500$ or so is a reasonable number. 50$ is low balling it, but would get it back on the road.
HOWEVER. Between the BMW Service Manager and my Claims adjuster, they came up with the sum of.... $11,000.
$11,000... The only way I can figure that they came up with this number is that they chose to replace every single scratched part. Insane! I haven't gotten the itemized invoice yet, but I can't wait. I'm assume almost none of it was engine related. The one thing I do know is, that my scuffed final drive and front rim? Yeah, they are replacing them... WTF?
They've already okayed it, and getting ready to cut the check minus my 300$ deductible, and the bike will be back in ~2 weeks-ish.

Shit happens, you got out ok and learned a lesson from it.
Bike is scuffed, you are sore but otherwise fine.
I ride around looking for roads that I have not been on a lot, has worked out for me as I have an LC4 and a 200EXC.
But I don't have to ride either one to work or do 100 miles of slab.
I'm thinking about getting a SPOT because if I mess up and get hurt in the woods my dumb ass will probably be bear food.
Aside from drunken quad riders I normally have the woods and trails to myself until hunting season comes in, and the chances that I would be easily found are pretty slim.
Even the bad day you had is better than spending your life sitting on a couch thinking about what you could have done.
After my ordeal, I recommend 'something' spot or not, in addition to your phone. I would have probably been alright because it is hunting season right now, but it was still scary.
You're right though, even if you go out and do something stupid, it's still better than wasting your life on the couch.

Oliver Burkeman discusses The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking ($25.00). Self-help books don't seem to work. Wealth, romance, family life, and work often bring as much stress as joy. We can't even agree on what "happiness" means. So are we engaged in a futile pursuit? Or are we just going about it the wrong way?

Dutch Studies: Language, Culture and History MA
This flexible programme combines in-depth exploration of the Dutch language area, comprising the Netherlands, Flanders, Suriname and the Dutch Caribbean, with practical acquisition of linguistic and intercultural skills and a range of specialisations in translation, literature, history and culture in the Low Countries, all in a global perspective.
What will I learn?
The Dutch Studies MA, unique in the UK, consist of a core module offering a choice of themes and concepts - Post-Colonialism, Memory, Collective Identities and Trauma - and options in Dutch literature, culture, history and society. It offers the opportunity to acquire and improve Dutch language skills as part of its regular programme, along with the methods, concepts and theories essential for the intercultural labour market.
Why should I study this degree at UCL?
UCL Dutch is the largest Centre for Low Countries Studies in the Anglophone world. It was here that Dutch first attained the status of a serious academic discipline and a chair in Dutch has been occupied almost continuously since 1919. In both teaching and research the department is an internationally recognised centre for excellence.
UCL Dutch has one of the largest Dutch libraries outside of the Low Countries and hosts an annual Writer-in-Residence as well as regular research seminars by visiting lecturers and professors from the Netherlands and Flanders, together with exchange students ensuring close contact between the department and the Dutch-speaking countries.
UCL's central location offers students easy access to London's extraordinary resources, including the major collection of Dutch and Flemish Art in the National Gallery, the Courtauld Institute of Art, and the Warburg Institute, among many others. The cultural offerings of the Dutch Centre Austin Friars, Flanders House, and the Dutch and Belgian embassies and associations, and a wealth of exhibitions, films and theatrical performances are all nearby.
Under the Language, Culture and History MA, UCL Dutch offers a comprehensive and intensive module of interdisciplinary study in the history and culture of the Low Countries. It also provides training in subject-specific and generic research skills, geared towards preparation for doctoral research.
All MA programmes should add up to 180 credits. They can be taken as Taught or Research-Intensive Pathways, details are given below.
Taught Pathway
You will take the core course (30 credits), the dissertation (60 credits) and 90 credits-worth of other modules, at least 60 credits of which must be chosen from the language-specific pathway.
Research-Intensive Pathway
You will take the core course (30 credits), the dissertation (90 credits) and 60 credits-worth of modules from the language-specific pathway.
Compulsory Modules
- ELCSGG01 - Core Course: Language, Culture & History (30 credits)
- ELCSG099 - Dissertation (60 credits)
- ELCSG098 - Research Dissertation (90 credits)
Dutch Module Options
- DUTCG006A - Contemporary History, Culture and Society of the Low Countries (15 credits)
- DUTCG201A - Making Modern Dutch Literature (15 credits)
- DUTCG401 - Dutch Language 3 (30 credits)
- DUTCG502 - Advanced Translation (Dutch into English) (30 credits)
- DUTCG902 - Project in Dutch (15 credits)
These MA modules are designed as an extension to an existing undergraduate course and students taking it will taught along with the undergraduates following that course. MA students following these modules will be provided with five extra 'dedicated' seminars covering material not featured in the undergraduate modules. The examination of these modules, and the assessment for them, are different from the examination and assessment of the undergraduate modules.
Elective modules offered as part of the MA Language Culture and History programme may be withdrawn in the event of low uptake.
Other Module Options
With the agreement of the Programme Director, students may combine their interests in Dutch Studies with other areas or subjects taught across the various MA programmes. Students may choose from:
- SELCS Modules
- Modules from the various MA programmes in the Centre for Multidisciplinary & Intercultural Inquiry (CMII).
Entry requirements
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
International equivalencies
Select your country for equivalent alternative requirements
English language proficiency level: Good
How to apply
Students are advised to apply as early as possible due to competition for places. Those applying for scholarship funding (particularly overseas applicants) should take note of application deadlines.
The deadline for applications is 31 July 2015.
Who can apply?
The programme is unique in the UK. It is suitable for students with a first degree or equivalent with an interest in Dutch language, history, culture and society, or the impact Dutch had or continues to have in the world. Reading knowledge of Dutch is required, but this can also be improved as part of the programme.
What are we looking for?
When we assess your application we would like to learn:
- why you want to study Dutch Studies at graduate level
- why you want to study Dutch Studies at UCL
- what particularly attracts you to this programme
- how your personal, academic and professional background meets the demands of a challenging programme
- where you would like to go professionally with your degree
As labour market intelligence by the University Council for Modern Languages (2011) points out, Dutch is one of the five most requested languages in the UK job adverts, ahead of Russian and even Chinese! This is due to the close economic and cultural ties between the Netherlands, Flanders and the UK. Moreover, the report points out that even if your trading partners speak English well, it still pays to speak their language, having developed intercultural skills as taught by UCL Dutch.
As graduates with Dutch are rare this makes for a very vibrant employment situation, even in times of economic crisis. There is demand for graduates who can help overcome the shortage of teachers of Dutch and translators from Dutch into English. The demand for teachers is from adult education institutes and increasingly from higher and secondary education; in the case of translators it comes from Dutch, Belgian and European institutions, from translation agencies and from business.
Top career destinations for this programme
- CLIC Indonesia, Dutch Language Teacher, 2011
- Alberta Gymnastic Federation Canada, Activenet Coordinator, 2011
- Royal Netherlands Embassy, London, Department of Press and Cultural Affairs Policy Officer, 2009
The programme, unique to the UK, will be of interest both to those who wish to enhance their knowledge of Dutch culture for professional purposes – in the field, for example, of education, media, commerce and tourism – as well as to students wishing to pursue their studies to a doctoral level.

You probably heard we have been moving into a faster release cadence with the new mountain ranges releases in this post and this one. For many Product Managers or Business Owners releasing faster could be the difference between success and failure. Being able to shorten the cycle between an idea and valuable user feedback enables new companies to understand better market needs and improve based on it. Releasing valuable software earlier is the sweet spot for Agile and Lean methodologies.
Tag: Agile
In a recent post, James outlined how MuleSoft is using Lean Startup principles to build Enterprise Software. We have been doing this for a while in our cloud platforms – CloudHub, Anypoint Service Registry and Dataloader.io; however, our core enterprise tools and products – Mule ESB, Mule Studio, Anypoint DataMapper, and Mule Management Console have always been on a much longer release cadence. Mule ESB Enterprise is the core platform on which many of our customers build hundreds if not thousands of services and integration processes on, so frequent releases and updates can be expensive for them to consume. Typically we release new Mule ESB enterprise versions every 9 months. As a hybrid product company with multiple products, we need to manage the demands of both the cloud and on-premise. Recently, we decided to make some changes to our development cycles and team orientation. We're using names of famous mountain ranges for these new releases, the first is named Andes after the iconic mountain range in South America (relatively) close to our development labs in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The next is Big Horn, Cascade and then Dolomite.
There is a lot of talk about the lean startup and whether it works or not. Some proclaim it is critical to the success of any startup and that it is even the DNA of any modern startup. Others claim that it's unproven, unscientific and gets your product to market in a haphazard way that is ungrounded in quality.
But the lean startup model, when you boil it down, simply says that when you launch any new business or product you do so based on validated learning, experimentation and frequent releases which allow you to measure and gain valuable customer feedback. In other words, build fast, release often, measure, learn and repeat.
How much time do you invest in estimating your backlog? Do you really get any value from it? When was the last time you thought about the value it provides you? I can see estimation as a source of problems in many ways.
I've been working at MuleSoft on the Sustaining Engineering team for a few months. In this time I watched how things work and find out what type of challenges we deal everyday have and how we solved them. I watched a great team working long hours to solve customers problems as fast as possible. Our primary goal is to enable our customers to meet their deadlines, and remove any problem they might have with MuleSoft's products in the process.
Context on the type of work
The sustaining engineering team works on solving problems for our customers, improving the code, implementing new features and reviewing how things behave to answer questions. Usually questions come from our customers, and sometimes we get high priority issues with high visibility. Critical issues may appear without any planning and they need to be solved as soon as possible. This type of events cause disruption in the team's work. If any disruption propagates over time, it causes bigger or permanent problems. There is a mixture of high priority things popping up, with planned features or improvements.
Problems and challenges
This is the list of problems I've seen during this time.
For those of you who develop in Eclipse, and are also running Tomcat as a stand-alone JVM process (the way Tomcat is usually run), it is fairly easy to debug your web applications using the Eclipse debugger. For that matter, you could also debug Tomcat's code this way as well, if you want to inspect what Tomcat is doing with a request.
Once in a while I get questions about whether Apache Tomcat implements a way to include other files in server.xml, Tomcat's main configuration file. The answer is that there is a way to do it, and that Tomcat didn't have to implement a new feature for it to work. The way to do it is: XML entity includes.
At MuleSoft we use Agile development to build and deliver all of our software products. One of the more challenging and potentially time consuming part of agile is story estimating. Recently we decided to take a new approach to this that has proven to be a lot of fun and amazingly accurate. I call it Bubble Sort Estimation.

Don't Show Fear
University of Pittsburgh researchers evaluated people who were out of work due to lower-back pain, and found that those who feared their pain and avoided activities perceived as painful were the least likely to be able to return to work."When you fear and avoid pain, you're more likely to fear and avoid strengthening and stretching exercises—the very exercises that can help you recover," says Steven George, Ph.D., P.T., an author of the study.
Understand that pain during recovery is normal and confront it, says George. "In terms of duration of exercise, go about 10 percent beyond your 'pain barrier,'" he says. If, for example, you're strengthening your back by walking on a treadmill and feel pain at 5 minutes, walk another 30 seconds.
When is pain really a sign of something serious? When it "moves" to your thighs, changes to numbness, or is associated with weakness in your legs. In that case, you can be afraid—and see a doctor.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Bones Jones returns to the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Saturday, Sept. 21 to defend his title against Swedish contender Alexander The Mauler Gustafsson at UFC 165.
At just 25 years old, Jones is one the most dominant fighters in UFC light heavyweight history. His 12 wins are second most in the divisions history, while his five consecutive title defenses tie him with UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortizs light heavyweight record.
Gustafsson, 26, enters the bout with a near spotless record, having won six straight, while holding a 15-1 all-time record (7-1 in the UFC). Injury forced him off an April card in his native Sweden, however, his previous bout saw him earn a unanimous decision over former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Shogun Rua in December 2012.

Not all aircraft types have the capability to land at every airfield due to runway strength, runway size, and runway type. Landing requirements will also vary, whether it is based on wartime or peacetime criteria. According to the July 1994 General Accounting Office (GAO) Report to Congressional Committees, Military Airlift: Comparison of C-5 and C-17 Airfield Availability the C-5 aircraft can land on a paved runway 5,000 feet long by 90 feet wide during wartime, while normal performance is defined as landing on a paved runway 6,000 feet long by 147 feet wide (USGAO, 1994).
Access to a C-5 capable runway is typically a necessity for military shipments, mobilization, and training. If access is inadequate (measured by geographical distance), then it is a strong indicator of pressures on the future use and vulnerability of air space, leading to greater demands and limitations on Military development and missions. This would then place the military installation in a vulnerable state, affecting the type and intensity of training that could take place on the installation.
The DoD has identified a need to augment military airfields with access to commercial airports (USGAO, 1994). Often it is unnecessary to duplicate the provisions of a nearby civilian airport on a military airfield. Thus, identification of commercial airports suitable for C-5 aircraft is a highly sought after indicator. Specifically, this indicator provides suitability for C-5 aircraft at all commercial airports receiving Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contract tower and radar service within a prescribed distance. Thus, not all U.S. commercial airports are tracked for C-5 suitability. It is recommended to have an understanding of which airports near the installation in question are not included in the study.
This indicator could be replicated every year based on information updated in FAA's Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) System and Scott AFB's Airport Search Database (TAF, 2006)

Download C-5 suitability airport data from the TAF System at https://www.afd.scott.af.mil/ (TAF, 2006). As previously mentioned, TAF does not track all U.S. commercial airports. Therefore, it is critical to use local knowledge when interpreting this indicator. Further local information may be obtained from the DAFIF airport boundary files or AirNav.com at http://www.airnav.com/airports. AirNav.com provides the 3-letter codes for all airports (e.g. ORD for Chicago O'Hare International Airport) by airport type and/or geographic location (AirNav.Com, 2003). Airfield information is obtainable from the Air Mobility Command (Scott AFB) to determine whether each airfield is suitable for specific types of aircraft (i.e., C-141B, C-5, C-130, C-17, KC-10, KC-135, and C-9) (TAF, 2006).
Import the TAF commercial airport data into a GIS program and join it with the DAFIF airports boundary files by airport code to create an Airport Suitability for C-5 Aircraft indicator layer. Create "buffers" around these airports at 5 and 25 miles to form vulnerability classifications.
Indicator Measure:
Airport Suitability for C-5 Aircraft classifications were defined as follows.
|Very Low Vulnerability
|Within 5 miles of a C-5 Aircraft Suitable Airport
|Low Vulnerability
|Moderate Vulnerability
|Within 25 but greater than 5 miles of a C-5 Aircraft Suitable Airport
|High Vulnerability
|Greater than 25 miles of a C-5 Aircraft Suitable Airport
Installations typically have only one commercial airport located within a 25-mile radius. However, several installations do have two or more airports located within 25 miles. In this instance, an installation takes on the airport classification of the closest airport. For instance, if an installation were located within 5 miles of one airport and within 25 miles of another airport, the installation would be classified as very low vulnerability.

What should I do with tilapia?
My husband and I are on the cleanse so there are some restrictions:
No dairy, no white rice/carbs of any kind, no corn. Basically just a ton of veggies, fruits, nuts and brown rice.
How can I make tilapia be tasty with these restrictions? Can anyone come up with some creative ideas?

A discussion concerning the installation of a Marcellus Shale well located above the Ridgway Reservoir continued during Monday's borough council meeting.
The concern was first addressed at November's meeting after council member Ralph Dussia, who came upon the site while hunting, questioned Environmental Manager Paul McCurdy on the effects of a potential spill near the reservoir.
A former Ridgway Fire Department Treasurer was in Elk County Court Friday where he accepted a plea deal on charges that he misused over $15,000 in company funds between March 2008 and October 2009.
Daniel Jack Sample, 30, of 513 Mill St., Johnsonburg, died Friday morning, Dec. 21, 2012 at Elk Regional Health Center.
He was born on Aug. 23, 1982 in St. Marys, the son of Richard Jack Sample and Judith A. Muroski Sample.
He resided in Johnsonburg most of his life and was a graduate of Johnsonburg Area High School, Class of 2000. He was a member of Holy Rosary Church.
James S. Fehr, 69, of 7673 Laurel Mill Rd., Ridgway, formerly of Springfield, died at Sena Kean Manor, Smethport on Friday morning, Dec. 21, 2012.
He was born May 15, 1943, in Easton, a son of the late Robert and Madeline Click Fehr.
On March 20, 1965, in Straw Lutheran Church, Phillipsburg, N.J., he married Sandra Miller Fehr, who survives.
Ridgway boys basketball won 56-19 over Port Allegany in action Friday night at Ridgway Area High School.
JOHNSONBURG – In the wake of the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Johnsonburg Area School District [JASD], like most school districts across the United States, continues to review their safety measures and procedures.
"Our school district has a crisis plan which we constantly are reviewing to ensure the safety of our students, faculty, and support staff," said JASD Superintendent Dennis Crotzer. "My administrative staff has reviewed this plan with their staffs after the unfortunate school shooting in Connecticut.
Jean M. Knight, 70, of Glen Mayo Road, Johnsonburg, died Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012 at UPMC Mercy in Pittsburgh after a short illness.
She was born June 12, 1942 in St. Marys, daughter of the late John A. and Edna (Fitch) Erickson.
She married Stanley J. Hasselman, who preceded her in death; and Richard "Dick" Rosenhoover, who preceded her in death.
She lived all of her live in Elk County. She worked at St. Marys Carbon, GE Sylvania, Community Nurses, St. Marys Hospital Medical/Surgical unit and worked as a bartender and caterer. She was a member of Central Hose Company. Â
Gun sales and permit applications are up in Elk County and nationwide, sources say, following the shooting incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. last Friday that left 20 children and six adults dead at the school.
Elk County Chief Deputy Sheriff Theresa Merritt said applications for gun permits, which are processed through the sheriff's office, have gone up over the last few years but did not increase significantly since Friday.
Following last week's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left nearly 30 people dead, many of them children, an increased focus has been placed on the issue of gun control. With guns at the forefront of national discussion, an equally important issue-- providing adequate help for those with mental health issues-- has been overshadowed.
JOHNSONBURG – The Ramettes (5-1) got off to a slow start Wednesday but regrouped quickly to topple visiting Smethport, 55-27
Johnsonburg was paced by junior Kassa Kocjancic, who finished with 14 points; she was complemented by fellow junior Chelsea Benson, who scored 10 points, along with seniors Rhianon Fowler and Brittany Watts, who finished with nine points apiece.

Blog / akt-signaling-pathway The Slack Technique To Be Successful
Tuesday, 25 September 2012 at 02:24
When HCT116 mobile lines were examined against this blend the ruction in AKT, S6 and eIF-4E binding protein-1 phosphorylation was noticed. Both inhibitors strengthened the outcomes of every single other. Hence the inhibitors to mTOR and RAF265 together inhibit the essential components of MAP kinase pathway which in the end qualified prospects to the cancerous cells demise. In one more analyze it was noticed that the Trail ligand sensitivity was improved when RAF265 was utilised. Conclusion In a nut shell, RAF265 proficiently inhibits the mutated types of different MAP kinases such as RAF kinase. This compound also functions properly in the existence of other inhibitors. Blockage of MAP kinase pathway by the RAF265 qualified prospects to the tumor suppression or cancerous cell apoptosis. Research into cancer signalling has paved the way for the development of many most cancers therapeutics, which act at unique levels/web sites in the cell-cycle to arrest/suppress signalling in most cancers cells and induce cell death. Molecularly targeted drugs based mostly on rational drug design have been produced to goal and inhibit isolated genes or pathways essential to the disease mechanism. Several of the earlier targeted therapeutics made use of most cancers vaccines, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotides, nevertheless, novel therapies now use monoclonal antibodies and smaller-molecule protein-kinase inhibitors and have been far more effective. MoAbs are cumbersome and focus on membrane-bound receptors and act through interfering with ligand-receptor interactions, enhance-mediated cytotoxicity, immune modulation and antibody-dependent cellular toxicity. SMPKIs are double distinct and goal each membrane-bound and internal targets via binding catalytic domains, allosteric binders, inactive kinase binding ligands, and ATP analogues. Since of the structural homology shared by numerous protein kinases, a one SMPKI can inhibit several protein kinases, which is very useful in anticancer remedy.Molecularly qualified drugs can be placed into many types centered on their mode of action and the certain disorder mechanism focused. Some of the key categories include things like Aromatase inhibitors, block aromatase in oestrogen-delicate breast cancer. Signal transduction inhibitors. HER receptor inhibitors, protein kinase inhibitors, aurora kinase inhibitors, MAPK inhibitors, PI3k/Akt/mTOR inhibitors.Gene manifestation modifiers/epigenetic modulators e.g. histone deacetylases inhibitors and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors. Romidepsin, which boost gene manifestation top to the induction of tumour cell differentiation, cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Mobile death enhancers these interfere with the action of proteasomes and DNA synthesis hence triggering cell loss of life.Angiogenesis blockers, which block the development of blood vessels to tumours, integrin agents that inhibit metastasis and anti-VEGF/VEGFR agents.EGF signalling is important in cancer due to the fact it integrates a lot of cascades and also that tumour cells generate EGF-associated expansion elements, which helps make EGFR constitutively productive. For this motive and the reality the EGFR was the 1st receptor TK straight linked to human cancers, several MoAbs and SMPKIs and been made and permitted for EGFR/HER2/ErbB specific therapies in many cancers. Even so, with the increase use of structural and programs biology, and know-how of the ailment process, the growth of many new prescription drugs that target several processes in cell-cycle dysfunction/dysregulation will culminate in greater cure options and eventually a remedy.

PHOTOS: 2013 Banquet and Golf Outing
EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern celebrated the 2012-13 season one last time over two days in May with the team's annual end of the year banquet and golf outing. NU put the wraps on a successful wrestling season that included two Wildcats advancing to the national finals, yet another top-20 finish at the NCAA Championships, another winning dual season and much more.
Northwestern handed out a number of awards at the banquet, which returned to the Hilton Orrington in Evanston. Senior Jason Welch was the recipient of the Lupton Takedown Award, which is given to the wrestler with the most net takedowns, and the Stuteville High Point Scorer Award, the wrestler who leads the team in points. The three-time All-American capped his Northwestern career on the biggest stage at the 2013 NCAA Championships, wrestling in the 157 lbs. finals. He recorded a career-high 34 victories in 2012-13, captured the 2013 Big Ten title at 157 and leaves Northwestern ranking seventh in career wins (116) and sixth in career winning percentage (.841).
National finalist Mike McMullan won the Jake Herbert Award for the second time in as many years. The redshirt sophomore reached the NCAA finals at heavyweight and improved on his finish at the tournament from a year ago after placing third as a redshirt freshman. The two-time All-American accumulated 22 wins during the 2012-13 campaign and had a perfect 10-0 mark in duals.
True freshman Dominick Malone was this year's recipient of the Jack Riley Fall Trophy, which goes to the wrestler who accumulates the most pins during the season. Malone had eight of the team's 28 falls on the year while wrestling at 125 lbs. He posted 17 victories in his first year at Northwestern, winning eight by fall.
There was a new award at this year's banquet called the 11th Man Award, which recognizes a wrestler that may not be in the starting lineup but still provides significant contributions to the team. Sophomore Jameson Oster was the recipient of the inaugural 11th Man Award. Oster was part of a very competitive 141 lbs. weight class for the Wildcats. He went 6-6 on the year and placed second at the 2012 Keystone Classic, helping NU win the team title.
The coaching staff also recognized a number of Wildcats with the Academic Achievement and Academic Excellence awards. The National Wrestling Coaches Association recently released their annual Division I All-Academic Top 30 Teams and Individual All-Academic Team for the 2012-13 wrestling season. The Wildcats rank amongst the top 20 teams in the country for GPA while sophomore Pierce Harger received All-Academic individual honors for the second time in as many seasons.
This year's golf outing once again returned to the Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling, Ill. Those at the outing had a great day of golf with beautiful weather as temperatures were in the 80's. Former Northwestern assistant coach and current chairman of the Committee for the Preservation of Olympic Wrestling, Bill Scherr, spoke at the outing. Sherr is one of the key constituents in the fight to save wrestling at the Olympics.

Perhaps wget -m will work with ftp. If it does, and you already have
everything, use wget -m ftp://blah/blah to get the new stuff. The old

Louis van Gaal - 'Wesley Sneijder is my captain'
2013-02-07 05:14:26
Netherlands national team coach sees a future for Wesley Sneijder in his side despite leaving the Galatasaray star out of the team which drew 1-1 with Italy yesterday.
"Sneijder has not played football for two months," said van Gaal.
"However, this doesn't mean he won't be getting called up to the team.
"I always follow my players closely and Sneijder is my captain, he has earned his place in the side for what he's done in the past."
Sneijder is expected to start against Antalyaspor on Sunday 10 January 2013.

While looking through a ton of old pictures the other day–I noticed that we had quite a few in the folder marked "Ghosts of Thanksgivings Past"–but they are all online and so I'm constantly having to say to family and friends, "I'll email you a copy." Sounds noble, yes? Well it would be more noble if I had a clue how to actually email pictures.
Hence, the Thanksgiving Photo Journal was born.
First take a hardbound journal or blank book—whichever…
Trace around it on to scrapbook paper.
Cut out to the measurement of your book. I had to work around the spiral binding of mine. Cutting out 65,000 tiny notches was a bit of a pain, but it turned out ok.
Glue the paper on to the cover of your book–being careful to keep the edges straight.
Secure a piece of ribbon to the back with glue and tie a bow in the front. And ta-da! Your book is finished. Except that now you can make copies from your computer–and stick them in the book for all to see.
So, bring it with you to the turkey dinner and share the book around. If you are really brave you can let people write their comments or memories on the blank pages. If you have a few of these books and lots of printer ink, they would make a great gift for the Thanksgiving hostess. Never hurts to butter up the lady with the pie…
Too bad you didn't have my spiral punch from Stampin' Up it would have punch those little notches out perfectly in about 20 sec. I can take care of that for you if you'd like, I have an order going in next week. I love the idea but am light years behind you because I don't have any idea how to put the pictures from the camera on the computer yet, let alone get them off the computer. I just need someone patient enough to sit and hold my hand and work me through it one time – do you give lessons?
I like this… especially about having people write comments or memories! Then you can share a little bit of everyone's thoughts… not just your own view of "Thanksgivings Past"! Very cute!

Bygones: Enjoying Coronation treat
Posted: June 14, 2012|
I WAS at Lincoln Training College, now Bishop Grosseteste, from 1951 to 1953, writes Eileen Woods, of New Waltham.
Lincoln was one of the cities where the Proclamation Of Accession was required to be read, on February 8, 1952 – my 19th birthday.
If my memory is correct, it had to be proclaimed from the cathedral, the Stonebow and the castle/law courts. A group of us (did we skip lectures?) went to hear it at the castle.
As the Coronation approached, we were told we could have either Whitsun or Coronation day off, but not both, and it was put to the vote among the students. Needless to say, Coronation day secured a big majority.
Not everyone could go home, but living here, I was one of the lucky ones who could.
"I don't know what you'll do all day," said my mum, "I'm at the village hall making sandwiches."
"Well then, so am I," I replied.
The village hall wasn't the rather fine building we have today in New Waltham. In those far-off days it was a green-painted wooden construction, but seemed to us to serve its purpose quite OK.
As we couldn't huddle around someone's newly acquired TV, we had a wireless on a windowsill near to the sandwich cutting table and from those nearest it we heard: "Shush! He's anointing her!" then of course, a little later, "Shush! He's crowning her!"
We had a large marquee to accommodate the feast and one of the chaps who had been hovering round the sandwiches begging crusts was someone I had known since I was a little girl at Sunday School and he was one of the "big" boys who took the collection.
We had been issued with big, floppy paper hats which wouldn't stay on in the foul weather, and he always seemed to be ready to pin mine back on again when it misbehaved.
Later, we danced. It was supposed to be outside but it was pouring with rain, so we were foxtrotting around the hall in a rather squashed bunch.
The last waltz was, of course, In A Golden Coach.
Mum told me later she had dragged my dad away, in spite of his protests, before it finished, saying: "If we go out of the way, he'll walk her home!"
Our two families had been close since they had come to New Waltham – "the country" – in the 1920s.
His name was Roland Woods. We married in 1956 and had 51 lovely years together until he died in 2008.
I remember how appropriate we thought it was to see our initials displayed on the lampposts, ER, on Coronation Day.

F800GS - RXV Shiver'ed Fork Conversion
So in reading this thread:
I decided to take on the fork conversion. Turns out -W- was thinking the same thing I was a while back except I had planned to use some KYB forks off a YZ250F. After the debacle of going to Aftershocks at TriValley Moto only to find out Phil and TriValley split ways the night before I showed up with my forks in hand, ugh.... I decided to go this route.
I am starting this thread because a few of us have been asking questions of -W- and this will give us our own thread to communicate in. I'm going to quote the important posts from the above thread here so we'll have the info in one easy to reference place.
The short version is this: You can easily convert the front forks on the BMW F800GS. I used a set of Marzocchi forks from an Aprilia RXV450.
Here is the order of things:
Find used forks with simialr diamater (marzocchi Shiver45 forks are the same as ours but a much upgraded version of their fork)
Take them apart
Take the bottom foot adjuster from the donor forks
Take it to a local machine shop along with the bottom part of each F800GS fork
The machine shop can machine the bottom of the stock forks to fit the donor bottom (compression) adjuster
Take the internals from the donor forks + the fork tubes from your stock forks + fork caps from the donor forks
Bring it to a local and good dirt bike or dualsport suspension shop (I used McCoy's Offroad in Carson City, NV)
They will put it together for you
Be sure the add a spacer to reduce the travel on the donor forks (info is below in this thread)
Put it back to gether
Put forks back on
Ride and smile a LOT!
Ride more, bark less

EASTON, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY - Can a judge order a mother to stop breastfeeding a baby so that the child can have visitation with a father?
Apparently in Pennsylvania it can happen.
Jessica Moser from Northampton County is outraged over the directive.
At a recent custody hearing, the judge ruled 10-month-old Jasmine must stay with her father overnight for two days, leaving Jessica with few options to feed her baby.
She says she can't pump enough milk to feed Jasmine for two days and she won't take a bottle.
Moser says she's not trying to keep Jasmine from her father, she just wants what's best for her daughter.
But if she doesn't follow the court order, Jasmine could be taken away.

New ACAS codes
29 Jun 2009
There's a new ACAS code for disciplinary and grievance procedures and a 25 per cent penalty for not complying, says Jane Klauber. The much criticised statutory dismissal and grievance procedures were abolished on 6 April 2009. In their place Tribunals will have regard to a new ACAS Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures and awards of compensation may be increased or decreased by up to 25 per cent if either party unreasonably fails to comply with the Code. However breach of the provisions of the Code by the employer will no longer lead to findings of automatic unfair dismissal which was the case under the statutory dismissal procedure.
First among equals
25 Sep 2008
Jane Klauber assesses new equality legislation. There have been equality laws in the UK for over 30 years. The government proposes to rationalise these with a new single Equality Act which will harmonise the various strands of anti-discrimination legislation.

COLCHESTER Vt.-Dr. Jan Carney from the University of Vermont College of Medicine joined us in the studio to talk about the dangers of using electronic cigarettes. She explains that there is a common misconception that e-cigs are a safe alterative to smoking regular cigarettes. But the reality is, as Dr. Carney explains, due to a lack of research and regulation, we don't know what long term effects e-cig use can have on the body. Because of the lack of regulation, 40 state Attorneys General nation wide have called on the Food and Drug Administration to regulate them.

My last post generated questions about Student Loan Consolidation. Just like repaying student loans, consolidation is a very timely topic as the class of 2013 enters repayment this month.
Student Loan Consolidation usually comes up as the ultimate solution for students having trouble repaying their loans. This is the first in a series of posts on the topic. This post will explain what Student Loan Consolidation is and how you apply for one. The second post will cover some of the reasons you may not want to get a consolidation loan, while the third will cover consolidation of private student loans.
What is Student Loan Consolidation?
Each loan you take out during your college career is a separate loan. They are not automatically combined into one loan at graduation. If all your loans were with one lender, you will only submit one payment and they will allocate it to each loan. Many students, especially those who borrowed before the 2010/11 Academic year may have their loans split between multiple lenders in the old Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program and the Federal Direct Student Loan (FDSL) program. Those with student loans made prior to July 1, 2006 could have individual loans with different interest rates. Student Loan Consolidation allows borrowers to combine these loans into one single loan with one single monthly payment.
What Loans are Eligible for Student Loan Consolidation?
All federal student loans are eligible for Student Loan Consolidation including:
- Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans made under the FFEL program
- Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans made under the Federal Direct Loan Program
- Parent Loans for Undergraduates (PLUS)
- Graduate PLUS Loans
- Federal Perkins Loans
- Health Education Loans (HEAL)
It's worth noting that while all these loan types can be included in Student Loan Consolidation, you must have either a FFEL or Direct Loan to participate in the program.
What are the Benefits of Student Loan Consolidation?
The largest single benefit of student loan consolidation for most students is the ability to have all their federal student loans in one place. While many can manage tracking loans at multiple servicers with multiple payments, other prefer the simplicity of a single payment. Another benefit is that a consolidation loan allows the borrower to extend the term of their federal student loans. Typically, federal student loans have a 10 year repayment period. The longer terms available through federal consolidation loans allows students to lower their monthly payments significantly. It's worth noting this will increase the overall cost of the loan to the borrower. Finally, the borrower may be able to reduce the rates on their student loans, especially if they have a variable rate loan from before July 1, 2006.
How do I Start a Student Loan Consolidation?
The first step is to make sure you know where all your student loans are located. The best way to do this is to check the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). This is the U.S. Department of Education's central database for student aid. NSLDS receives data from schools and players in the student loan program providing a centralized, integrated view of federal student loans so borrowers can access and inquire about their federal student loans. It's an invaluable tool for students who may not have kept good records while they are in school
Once you have all your information together, you can check out this calculator provided by the Department of Education. Just enter data about each of your federal student loans and the calculator will tell you what your interest rate will be and which repayment plans you will be eligible for. If you like what you see then you can apply for a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan.
Before you hit enter on Student Loan Consolidation though wait for the next post in which I will discuss some of the downsides of Student Loan Consolidation and other things to consider before you apply to the program.

LG Optimus White launches officially in the Netherlands
LG Optimus Black launches in white version, but you have to admit you can't call a white phone Black. So LG came up with a new name for the white model - LG Optimus White Edition and it is already available in the Netherlands.
The LG Optimus White edition is virtually the same as its Optimus Black sibling save for the panel colors. If you live in the Netherlands, you can get it for free with a contract on carrier Sizz right now.
It's nice to see that LG has put some thought on the name before launching the white version. But should we now expect Optimus Silver, Optimus Pink, etc? Let's hope LG limits to those two names instead of launching a whole lineup of similar devices with different names.

Compared with Israel and even Europe, the United States' public sphere security apparatus is sparse. As Middle East dictators friendly to U.S. counterterrorism operations are being deposed, tensions increase between Israel and Iran, more extremist terrorist groups such as Nigeria's Boko Haram rise, and budget constraints threaten to short shrift U.S. intelligence operations, some terrorism experts have pushed for stronger security measures at U.S. "soft sites," such as government buildings and targeted groups with symbolic Western ties, such as Jewish or financial institutions.
Applying physical security checks at places like mall entrances is "pretty distant," Middle East Forum Director Daniel Pipes told the Diplomatic Courier. Nor is it feasible considering the financial burden and the fact terrorists can switch to an attack site with less security at a moment's notice, said Sebastian Gorka, counterterrorism expert and military affairs fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
However, many terrorist organizations have eschewed grandiose plots reminiscent of the September 11, 2001 attacks in favor of targeting specific demographics, such as American Jews and government institutions, Pipes said. Though U.S. intelligence managed to foil many terrorist plans, it cannot continue to "bat 1.000," said Steve Emerson, Executive Director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
Changes to combat these tactics are already beginning, as government institutions revamped security operations following 9/11; many American Jewish cultural centers did the same in 2006 after a Muslim-American man killed a woman at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building, Pipes said. More recently, the head of security for the Israeli Consul General for the Mid-Atlantic States said in a February letter that Iranian attacks against US "soft targets" – such as restaurants, Israeli embassies, and synagogues – could become more frequent. Though it occurred after the February letter, the March killing of four Jews by a known Islamist at a Jewish day school in Toulouse, France could lend more credence to that assertion.
Some security experts argue physical security at U.S. soft sites may become the norm, security experts told CBS New York last May. Attacks on such sites are "easier and less complicated to carry out," counterterrorism expert Juval Aviv said at the time. Security consultant David Boehm agreed security checkpoints at soft targets are forthcoming, adding, "The reason they're called 'soft' is because it's so easily accessible to anyone. There has to be security checks for the safety of all people."
But such measures would likely conflict with civil liberties, Gorka said. Instead, the U.S. should continue relying on intelligence. Gorka pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security has consistently thwarted terrorism attacks since its inception.
U.S. intelligence gathering operations have wrongly caught flack from civil liberties groups for actions such as the New York Police Department tapping into various college campuses' Muslim Student Associations, Gorka said. He also said that the NYPD and any other agency that engages in that type of monitoring only does so with credible evidence to approve such activity.
"The idea that they are just doing blanket surveillance is preposterous," Gorka said. "The NYPD are not jack-booted thugs from the 1930s."
It remains unclear whether intelligence coordination with the changing Middle East will hinder U.S. counterterrorism operations, Gorka said. He explained "the jury is still out" on how receptive parties like the Muslim Brotherhood would be to the U.S., considering many of their constituents oppose U.S. presence, but that the U.S. "has to be prepared for some potentially negative consequences."
The irony of the 9/11 attacks, Gorka said, is that they may have been too successful. Al Qaeda must create an even bigger spectacle for its next attack, he said, but the U.S. security response to those events make that less likely.
The omnipotence of U.S. surveillance abroad actually has spurred the rise of terrorists acting in smaller cells or as "lone wolves" to avoid detection, Emerson said. And with more Islamist factions gaining a voice for the first time in decades in places like Libya and Egypt, anti-U.S. rhetoric could embolden even more of those terrorist elements, he said. Worse yet, those governments could turn a blind eye to counterterrorism efforts, he noted.
Smaller terrorism attacks can actually damage a community's psyche just as much as something like 9/11, Pipes argued. He referred to John Allen Muhammad, who earned the "Beltway sniper" moniker in 2002 when he killed 11 people in the Washington, DC, area during a three-week killing spree, putting the entire area in virtual lockdown during that time period.
"You don't need to pull off huge atrocities like 9/11 to be effective," Pipes said. "Small Beltway ones can keep a whole city under siege."

HAROLD — John Veasey stood on the side of the road next to a makeshift sign made of a bedsheet slung over two ladders.
Across the white sheet in black, block letters were the words: "Keep the military out of our forest!"
Veasey, 61, said on Wednesday that while it can be boring standing out on the road all day, it's worth it.
See more photos from Veasey's protest. >>
VIDEO: View a video of Veasey's protest >>
"Somebody's got to stand up for the people."
Veasey is alarmed by a proposal to allow the military to train in the Blackwater River State Forest. A public hearing will be held next week and he plans to be out near the entrance to the park all day every day until then, trying to spread the word.
For the past eight years, the serenity of the Blackwater River has been an idyllic getaway for Veasey and his wife, who live in Niceville. Imagining the sound of low-flying helicopters and troops firing weapons shatters all that, he said.
"People have things they do to fight the stress of life, from knitting to reading a book," he said. "Nothing is any better than coming out to the park and floating down the waterway. You get some relief, rejuvenation time."
He referred to a photo his wife snapped during a recent trip down the river: Veasey in the front of a canoe, his dog at his side. He is trying to fish, but he's fallen fast asleep.
"That's how relaxing it is," he said.
In a report released earlier this month, the military said only non-hazardous training would take place in the forests and that troops would avoid populated recreation areas. The report said effects, noise or otherwise, would be minimal.
The proposed training includes large helicopters dropping troops on the ground for long, cross-country movements, troops practicing firing weapons loaded with blanks or paintballs and fixed-wing aircraft landing on dirt roadways.
In the report, the Air Force said that without utilizing the state forests, they will not be able to meet increasing demands for on-the-ground training coming from Air Force and Army special operations units.
Veasey, an Army veteran, said he understands the need, but he thinks people haven't been fully informed about the proposal, and if they had been they would want to find another solution.
He hopes his demonstration will encourage people to contact their elected representatives, which he sees as the opposition's only course of action to stop the proposal.
Earnie Polk stopped Wednesday morning to ask Veasey for some more information about the upcoming meeting, which he plans to attend.
Polk lives off Deaton Bridge Road, which runs through the park, and said his property is surrounded on four sides by the forest. He is opposed to the proposal.
"It's ridiculous," Polk said. "Nothing like that should be in this forest. This was set aside for recreation and the use of the public, not to be shut off by the military."
Private landowners say troops can train on their land
As the military is proposing leasing state forest lands for training, some private landowners have wondered if their land might be considered a solution.
"All of us timber people are interested in finding some way to support our timber land while our timber is growing," said Bob Reid, who owns about 1,300 acres north of Mossy Head.
In a report released earlier this month, the military proposed using some land in the Blackwater River and Tate's Hell state forests to meet the increasing demand for on-the-ground training.
If approved, the state would lease the land to the military for a nominal fee.
In the report, officials said purchasing additional land for training would be costly and could take years, therefore it wasn't considered as an option.
But, leasing could still be on the table.
Even if approved, the state forest land will still not meet the full expected demand for training space, according to the report. Other measures will have to be considered in the future.
Mike Spaits, environmental spokesperson for Eglin Air Force Base, said currently the Air Force is focusing on public land in the state forests.
"I imagine they will have a similar effort for private land," he said.

Pretoria — The HIV epidemic in South Africa has continued to stabilise over the past six years, with KwaZulu-Natal having recorded a notable decline in 2011.
According to the 2011 National Antenatal Sentinel HIV Prevalence Survey, released on Monday by Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, the HIV epidemic has in the last six years shown signs of stabilisation, particularly among antenatal care first time bookers in public health sector clinics.
A total of 33 446 first time antenatal care attendees participated in the survey conducted in October 2011 at all 52 health districts.
The primary objective of the survey was to assess the HIV status among women attending public sector antenatal clinics, and for the department to use the data for the estimation of HIV sero-prevalence trends, and the burden of AIDS in the general population.
KwaZulu-Natal has recorded a notable decrease in HIV prevalence, with an estimated prevalence rate of 37.4% for 2011. The upper limit of the 2011 confidence interval (an interval in which a measurement or trial falls corresponding to a given probability) was lower than the 2009 and 2010 estimates of 39.5%, indicating a decline of 2.1%.
Motsoaledi attributed the decline in KZN to the hard work of the provincial branch of the National AIDS Council. The council includes key role players such as district mayors, who report on matters of maternal and child mortality; the success of the HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) campaign and the circumcision campaign.
"When the district mayor [gives the report], the Premier then asks the Health Department if it has any corrections or anything to add to what the mayor recorded. [The mayor then] gives the responsibility to the leaders so that they don't regard only the health [system] or doctors as the ones who must deal with this," Motsoaledi noted.
Another advantage for the province, Motsoaledi said, was that Premier Zweli Mkhize was deeply involved in the fight against AIDS. Mkhize was at some point the Health MEC and he went into his position as Premier with the knowledge of what needed to be done to turn the situation around.
In Gauteng, the prevalence rate decreased from 30.4% in 2010 to 28.7% in 2011; Eastern Cape recorded a prevalence rate of 29.3% in 2011, whilst the Northern Cape and Western Cape were the only provinces that had prevalence rates below 20.0%. The Northern Cape recorded 17.0% and Western Cape recorded 18.2% for 2011.
On the other hand, Mpumalanga has recorded an increase in the prevalence rate of 2.0%, from 34.7% in 2009, 35.1% in 2010 to 36.7% in 2011.
Motsoaledi said the increase in the Gert Sibande District in Mpumalanga was not surprising but very worrying as 40% of the country's energy supply came from there.
"[Gert Sibande] needs a massive circumcision campaign, which they have not launched," he said, adding that the situation needed to be looked into.
The prevalence in the Free State also increased from 30.6% in 2010 to 32.5% in 2011; North West went up from 29.6% in 2010 to 30.2% in 2011, with Limpopo showing an increase from 21.4% in 2009 to 22.1% in 2011.
Encouraging results were also noted in the age group 15-24 years, which showed a decrease from 21.8% in 2010 to 20.5% in 2011 -- a decline of 1.3%. Another decrease was among the 15-19 year olds from 14% in 2010 to 12.7% in 2011.
The HIV prevalence, however, among women in age group 30-34 years remained the highest, increasing from 41.5% in 2009 to 42.2% in 2011. Among the 35-39 year-olds, the prevalence rate has increased from 35.4% in 2009 to 39.4% in 2011.
Explaining the increase in the older age groups, Motsoaledi said individuals in these age groups got infected earlier in their lives, and were now moving into a higher age group, pushing up the prevalence rates.
"The good news is that we have broken down the upward movement in the 15-19 years group, meaning that prevention is starting to work..." Motsoaledi said.
However, he warned that the country should not rest on its laurels and push harder to achieve the AIDS Millennium Development Goals (MDG) target.
"... Our focus must be on teenage pregnancies, reproductive health rights amongst school kids and the integrated school health programme is going to help us to do that... We have three years to reach the United Nations target of 5.3% and the jury is out on how hard we work as a country," Motsoaledi said.
The minister said the 2011 report had also shown syphilis infections had gone down.
"In the next year, we will do Hepatitis B prevalence and HIV infection, which is closely associated with HIV and AIDS," Motsoaledi said.
From 2013, the survey will be conducted on a monthly basis instead of only in October. Motsoaledi said this was because it was hard to include pregnant teens in the survey in October because of the final school exams.
"... Our target is to test 400 000 pregnant women of all ages annually and this result will be reported in 2014... If we do it on a monthly basis, we would have conducted the study on 400 000 women [in a year] and that is very significant," said the minister.

Ported cylinders, pipes, squished heads, MZB ignition, and a bunch of other stuff. Last summer I had it and my BMW /5 plated and insured, and it was all I could handle and justify. Currently I'm building up an old Moto Guzzi, and I'll NEVER let go of the BMW, so something's got to give. I figure, the RD is the one that I'd most likely kill or maim myself on, so I guess it is the one to go. I swear, I just CANT get on it without going 100mph. I tell myself at the beginning of the ride that I'm going to take it easy, but before you know it, I'm on the pipe and I can't stop. With the ported cylinders, it's kind of weak below 7K, but kept above that, it just pulls and pulls and before you know it you're turning 9500 in fifth with another gear to go. What a blast!
I wouldn't bring her home to Mama, but Mama ain't home tonight.
