Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, was recently identified in the rat stomach. Previous studies have shown that ghrelin potently increases growth hormone release and food intake. We examined the effects of the gastric peptide ghrelin on anxiety-like behavior in association with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in mice. Both intra-third cerebroventricular and intraperitoneal administration of ghrelin potently and significantly induced anxiogenic activities in the elevated plus maze test. Ghrelin gene expression in the stomach was increased by tail pinch stress as well as by starvation stress. Administration of a corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor antagonist significantly inhibited ghrelin-induced anxiogenic effects. Peripherally administered ghrelin significantly increased CRH mRNA, but not urocortin mRNA expression in the hypothalamus. Furthermore, intraperitoneal injection of ghrelin produced a significant dose- dependent increase in serum corticosterone levels. These findings suggest that ghrelin may have a role in mediating neuroendocrine and behavioral responses to stressors and that the stomach could play an important role, not only in the regulation of appetite, but also in the regulation of anxiety.

Bachmann's announcement that she was suspending her campaign came as Texas governor Rick Perry, who finished fifth in Iowa, indicated he plans to continue
Considering the results in the Iowa caucuses, what are the trailing Republican candidates going to do to chase Mitt Romney?
Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann is suspending her bid for the White House after coming in a distant sixth in the Iowa caucuses
Mitt Romney was declared the winner of Iowa's first-in-the-nation Republican presidential primaries early Wednesday following an epic battle with Rick Santorum that added an extra dash of drama to an already volatile GOP race
Michele Bachmann's struggling White House bid has been dealt a major blow ahead of the first Republican nominating contest with the defection of her Iowa campaign manager to rival Ron Paul.
From whale sperm to colon cleansers to the shape of a woman's foot when she has an orgasm, celebrities did not disappoint during 2011 with their penchant for peddling suspect science in the world's media.
WASHINGTON — Texas Governor Rick Perry filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to get on Virginia's 2012 primary election ballot after failing to qualify by last week's deadline. The Republican presidential candidate failed to get the 10,000 verifiable signatures, including at least 400 qualified voters from each congressional district, required to be in the […]
HARLAN, Iowa — It's late afternoon on a quiet day at Leo's Barber Shop in Harlan, Iowa and the banter has turned — as it often does — to politics. Ronald Jensen is in the chair, freshly trimmed and clean shaven. An 81-year-old soybean farmer and lifelong Republican, Jensen knows exactly whom he likes for […]
At the rate U.S. Republicans are running through frontrunners for the party's presidential nominations, they may soon reach the end of their list and have to start over. Let's see, that would mean Michele Bachmann should be back at the top of the pack by about Jan. 2. Newt Gingrich, the latest claimant to the […]
Republican presidential candidates pounced on front-runner Newt Gingrich on Thursday to try to blunt his surge at the last debate before Iowa launches the 2012 U.S. election season.

I believe in accumulating life experiences....
I believe in accumulating life experiences. Having said that I believe in making enough money and i do, so as never to have to worry about it. I believe in constantly learning. And a large part of that is traveling. Especially abroad. If we're together, you should want to take at least a trip or two to a far-off land each year. I like big, crowded cities and remote, unspoiled places and very little in between. I adore good spelling and grammar. I do read entire profiles, contrary to what you may think of most men. And here's a small sampling of the more humorous gaffes I've encountered on match. - I think the most important things are honesty, patients, and openness. - I am passionate and opened to different views. - I have very few inhabitions. Warning: if you don't spot the error in each of the 3 sentences above, you might want to review your own profile. And I obviously missed the memo where "their" replaced "there" and "your" replaced "you're" in the english language. If any of this tirade sounded remotely interesting or funny, or if you want to chew me out for exposing your profile, drop me a line. If you don't have a photo posted, be prepared to email me one before I have to ask. Where have all the smart, sexy, animal-loving, engaging, feminine women gone? No, seriously. Are you an adventurer? A world traveler? A fan of seinfeld and simpsons reruns? Do you love italian, thai, vietnamese, chinese or ethiopian food? And even better wine? Are you athletic? Do you like to spend your time outdoors just as much as you enjoy ritzy hotels? Are you an adventure seeker, a kayaker, a scuba diver, a hiker, a mountain biker, a golfer, a tennis player? Do you love animals? - dogs, cats, fleas, the whole lot of them. Ok. Maybe not fleas. Are you an independent person who is comfortable in her own skin? - no overly insecure women, please. Are you an inquisitive person? Are you opinionated? I love a heated, passionate debate. Do you have eclectic taste in music? Do you enjoy theater, opera, independent films and salsa dancing? Are you addicted to some form of caffeine? Are you a NPR listener? Do you like to be kissed and often by someone who knows how? If you answered "yes" to a majority of these questions, let's get out of this place. Check, please!

Hartlepool bounced back from last weeks poor performance with a 24-16 home win against Whitby in scorching temperatures.
The away side started the brighter and after 5 minutes of play, a series of forwards drives saw the ball passed out for the Whitby centre to barge over. Whitby then extended their lead with a swiftly struck penalty to give the Yorkshire side an 8 nil lead.
Pool nearly got back into game with a flowing move that saw centre Jason Norman break over the gain line and feed Liam Lester who was stopped 5 metres short. Scrum half Chris Williamson, who was had a fine game at scrum half, took a quick penalty from the half way line and was stopped on the 10 metre line with a fine tackle. With 10 minutes remaining Pool got back into the game with a deserved try. The forwards drove the ball on 3 times before Williamson switched the point of attack and fed Tom Johnson on the blind side. Johnson broke through and drew the last man to feed Norman who raced under the posts. Keagan Thomas converted to make the game 8-7 to Whitby at the break.
The second half saw Pool up the ante and dominate proceedings for long spells. Inside centre Ian Mulvihill crashed over following a quick recycle to score his second try of the season and put Pool in the lead. Andrew Woodward added a third try after he was driven over by fellow flanker Kevin Maguire to extend the lead. Jason Norman made a number of breaks in the second period and was adjudged to have passed forward on two occasions with Whitby defence beaten.
Pool scored a fourth try to secure the bonus point in the 71st minute. A miss pass from Thomas was picked up by Liam Lester who scored his first try of the campaign. The conversion struck the upright to leave Pool 24-11 up.
In the last minute of the game, Whitby scored a try in the far corner to give the score some respectability. Credit to the Yorkshire side who never stopped battling. Final score 24-16.
Apart from the first 10 minutes and the last 5 minutes, Pool dominated the game, Coaches Sean Wiles and Peter Iveson asked for an improved performance after the Rockliffe defeat and the home side responded in some style with backs and forwards combining well. Kevin "Squid" Maguire in the forwards was the pick of the bunch in a fine team performance.

Research Interests
The overall goal of the research in Dr. Nelson's laboratory is to understand the control of smooth muscle and endothelial cell function by ion channels and calcium signaling.
There are three major research areas in the lab:
- To understand the mechanisms by which computationally active neurons in the brain control local cerebral blood flow (CBF) ("neurovascular coupling"), using optical techniques to measure calcium signaling and arteriolar diameter in the neurovascular unit (neurons, astrocytes, arteriolar smooth muscle and endothelium) in brain slices as well as CBF in vivo, electrophysiological techniques to measure membrane currents and membrane potential of astrocytes, smooth muscle and endothelial cells from parenchymal arterioles. Arteriolar diameter is also measured in isolated pressurized parenchymal arterioles.
- To understand how sympathetic nerves, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells communicate ("vascular crosstalk") to control the function of resistance-sized peripheral arteries.
- To understand the roles of ion channels and calcium signaling in the control of urinary bladder function in health and disease.
Approaches cover the spectrum from molecular, cellular, intact tissue, whole organ and in vivo (local CBF, blood pressure, urodynamics). A number of genetic mouse models are used to unravel control mechanisms. Relevant ion channels in smooth muscle, endothelium and astrocytes are being explored, including voltage-dependent calcium channels, inward rectifier potassium channels, calcium-sensitive BK, IK, SK channels, voltage-dependent potassium channels, ATP-sensitive potassium channels, TRPV4 channels, ryanodine receptor channels, IP3R channels, and P2X1 receptor channels. The ultimate objections are to understand the basic mechanisms for ion channel control of local cerebral blood flow, peripheral resistance and urinary bladder function, and using this information to understand pathologies and possible new therapeutic interventions.

Gozo Day Trip from Malta
- Day trip from Malta to the island of Gozo
- Admire idyllic coastal scenery at Dwejra Bay and Xlendi Bay
- See the Azure Window, a natural arch that featured in the hit TV series Game of Thrones
- Visit Calypso Cave and learn about its links to the Greek mythological tale Odyssey
- Watch the Gozo 360 show inside the ancient citadel theater in Victoria
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
If you're looking for a hassle-free way to visit Gozo, then this is the day trip to book! Transport and lunch are included, and you'll see all the highlights of the island.
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
On arrival, step inside your air-conditioned minibus, and then set off to explore the stunning little island. Greener and arguably more picturesque than Malta, Gozo is made up of three rolling hills, with cute Mediterranean villages peppered throughout its landscape.
Admire the scenery on the way to Dwejra Bay and visit a beauty spot called the Azure Window – a rocky arch formed by centuries of gradual erosion. Stop to take pictures from the bay, and hear of the TV shows and movies that the arch has appeared in, like Game of Thrones and The Count of Monte Cristo. Another impressive landmark that your guide will point out is the Inland Sea – a stretch of water separated from the Mediterranean by rocks.
Enjoy a break for a light Mediterranean lunch with wine in a local restaurant, and then continue to Xlendi Bay for a stroll along the seafront, admiring the cobalt sea gently lapping its sandy beach. Head inside a grotto called Calypso Cave , which overlooks beautiful Ramla Bay, and hear of its links to Greek mythology; it's thought to be the site mentioned in the Odyssey, where the nymph Calypso held Odysseus as a 'prisoner of love.'
Your final stop of your tour is in the island's capital – Victoria. In the heart of the town lies the citadel, an ancient fortress (also known as the citadella) that's believed to have protected the town since the Bronze Age. Head inside the citadel's walls and visit the theater to watch the Gozo 360 show – a short movie about the island's history and culture.
Travel back to Gozo port and, after your ferry ride, finish your day trip with a drop-off at your hotel.

Great Tour, Great Guide, Great Country.
once again another great viator product and look forard to booking in the future
January 2015
This tour was excellent! Pick up straight from our hotel, nice minibus and great relaxing tour trough the Gozo. The dinner they promised was poor, but it didint bother us. Starters was pasta and some tomato sauce on it, Main courses meat, wich was from the can or fish, wich was cheap and didint taste at all and there was some omlette, but i dont know about that.
Funny thing that there was 2 bottles of wine per 6 person table, but if you wanted to drink water you needed to pay extra. So at the end we were littlebit drunk.

2DS Unboxing Video Reveals Sleep Mode Switch And Embedded L/R Buttons
A new unboxing video for Nintendo 2DS by UK retailer GAME shows off some of the new features of the system, while also comparing it to Nintendo's other current portable devices. One of the highlights of the video comes during a game of Mario Kart 7, when the demonstrator shows off the new curved, embedded L and R buttons on top of the console and proclaims them to be quite comfortable for that game specifically. Other takeaways from the video are the demonstration of a new sleep mode switch at the bottom of the system, as well as the fact that it is still possible to take 3D images with the device, due to the two camera lenses on the back of it. The stylus also appears larger than the 3DS stylus.
There have been many revelations and reactions regarding Nintendo's new 2DS handheld, including the eyebrow-raising news that the device actually has only one screen. Gamers will be able to experience the new handheld console for themselves on October 12th, at a retail cost of $129.99.

29 year old woman | Chaska, MN, USA | Seeking men 26-35 within 30 miles
I am new to online dating and just wanted to say I am a little hesitant about all of it, but thought why not give it a try. I have just as much fun sitting at home having a really relaxing night but I also love to have nights out with my friends. The most important people to me are my family and friends - they mean everything. I also have a couple of best friends who have kids that I love more than anything. I am fortunate enough to still have the same group of best friends I have had since I was little. They know me the best so I decided to ask a few of them to describe me in three (or four) words. Here is what they came up with: 1 - genuine 2 - loving 3 - really good at laundry 1 - extremely loyal (she went on to say that I stand by what I believe in) 2 - honest/down to earth 3 - funny/fun to be around/like to joke (she said we laugh all the time when we are together) 4 - laid back 1 - inspired 2 - loyal 3 - giving November through December are absolutely my favorite months of the year because I get to see my family a lot for the holidays. We have such a great time when we all get together whether it be hanging out and chatting about what's new, or playing some intense games of Scattegories. In the summer I play softball and I enjoy time outdoors. A perfect night during the summer for me would be sitting with friends around a bonfire drinking some beer. In order to date me you will have to enjoy that as well! The more relaxed side of me enjoys reading and watching my favorite tv shows and movies. I work hard, I have a full time and part time job. I am very passionate about my full time job it fits me perfectly. I absolutely love working with and helping people. Basically I'm pretty laid back and don't get worked up over much. One last thing I wanted to share was that I really look up to my parents who have been married for 32 years. They're still so in love and it's gross. Secretly I hope to have a relationship like theirs one day. They have set an amazing example for me and they are my two favorite people. You want to know anything else feel free to ask.

Death threats were the last type of phone calls George A. Zimmermann thought he'd get after serving for 55 years as his community's preacher. And he never thought he'd be mistaken for the man headlining recent news: George Zimmerman, the Sanford, Fla., neighborhood watch volunteer acquitted in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. Zimmermann, 78, retired to Deland, Fla., 16 years ago from his post at Georgetown United Methodist Church in Paradise, Pa. He said his time in Florida was relatively peaceful until the phone calls began trickling in — first after the shooting, then after the verdict. After the July 14 death threats, he changed his phone number.

(continued from previous page)
and Internet carrier networks. After only 18 months, the company was bought by Sycamore Networks for $2.9 billion.
Reeves' current start-up, Mangrove Systems, would have been dead on arrival four years ago, after the telecommunications industry collapsed.
It's a different story now.
With venture capital flowing, the value pegged to hot start-ups is jumping. Valuations on second-round investments for highly sought-after start-ups have gone from a range of $10 million to $15 million several years ago to $25 million to $30 million today, said Venky Ganesan, a managing partner at Globespan Capital Partners. Valuations have also doubled for third-round investments, going from $35 million and $40 million two years ago to $70 million and $80 million today, he said.
But the rising tide has not lifted all boats. In aggregate, valuations have remained flat from a year ago, according to the Money Tree survey.
"VCs are looking for some assurance that the company will make it," said Kirk Walden, national director of venture capital research at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "It's different from five years ago, when nothing more than a PowerPoint presentation could get you a million dollars. That won't even get you in the door nowadays."
Venture capitalists and entrepreneurs naturally are happy about the rising valuations. But big acquirers like Cisco say they are worried that some deals are getting too expensive.
"We've definitely seen valuations on top start-ups go up substantially in the past 12 months," said Ned Hooper, vice president of corporate business development for Cisco. "Both as an investor and acquirer that's disturbing to us. Maintaining rational valuations is critical. If they're too high we just won't do the deal."IPO or M&A?
While it's always been true that start-ups have a better chance of getting acquired by a company than having an initial public offering, the trend toward acquisitions is even more pronounced today.
"Today, it's much more realistic for a start-up to get acquired or partner with a larger player than to go public," Reeves said. "It's very difficult to have an IPO these days, so I think we'll see a lot more acquisitions in the next 12 months."
One of the biggest deterrents for small companies with IPO aspirations is the 3-year-old Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires publicly traded companies to include in their annual reports a review of the company's internal control over financial reporting, and a related auditor's rundown. The cost for complying with the law is expensive, anywhere from $1 million to $4 million annually, say experts.
Smaller companies also face tough scrutiny from bankers who favor larger companies.
"Being a public company is not a thrill these days unless you have a predictable revenue stream," Baloff said. "The economics in the banking world have changed and bankers don't make the same fees on companies with market capitalizations under $200 million that they used to. So these smaller companies suffer from a lack of trading volume."
Despite these hurdles, CEOs of start-ups say they're still thinking big.
"Companies that are building themselves to be bought by another company are destined to be small," said Selina Lo, president and chief executive of a home networking company called Ruckus Wireless. "You get what you wish for. And if you're not going to try to build a sustainable business, why bother building a company in the first place?"
Cisco executives agree that they aren't interested in companies that are deliberately on a quest to be bought.
"The most interesting companies to us today are ones with strong sustainable business models, good revenue run rates and sales channels" said Hooper. "These also happen to be the same attributes that are necessary for companies going for an IPO."

Nothing can stand in the way of a Challenger® SP185C equipped with a rotary disc header ... including a tight schedule. Choose from three different header models, including the DKHC12, with its 12-foot (3.7 m) cut, and Challenger's new DKHD and DKHDT RazorBar™ disc headers that cut a 16-foot (4.9 m) swath through the toughest crop conditions at speeds and efficiencies other headers can't begin to match.
DKHDT and DKHD Series disc headers feature a one-piece mainframe for added strength and a rugged modular spur-gear design, which allows all gears to be individually removed through the top of the cutterbar without splitting the bar. That translates into less downtime, lower repair costs and more productivity. The spur gear design also allows the cutterbed profile to be thinner for closer cutting.
Fact is, Challenger rotary disc headers slice through lush alfalfa just as smoothly and cleanly as they do through tall, tangled grass. In addition, header speed can be adjusted independently of engine speed — from 1,800 to 2,600 rpm — for greater fuel efficiency, or to match varying crop conditions.
As the newest advancement in disc headers, Challenger's new 16-foot RazorBar models also feature larger cutting discs, faster tip speed and increased disc overlap for improved cut quality. Their new Sisu-made cutterbed gears, which are set in individually segmented modules, are also designed to handle maximum torque loads, 100 percent of the time.
While the DKHD16 model features a single set of steel-on-steel herringbone conditioner rolls, the DKHDT16 model incorporates Challenger's innovative TwinMax™ conditioner, which utilizes not one, but two separate sets of steel-on-steel rolls positioned in-line for double conditioning. Both sets of rolls are hydraulically tensioned and individually adjustable, giving the operator a near infinite level of adjustments and conditioning action that can be matched to any crop and drying condition.

DKHC Series disc headers feature a rugged spurgear design, which allows each gear assembly and adjacent idler gear to be individually removed through the top of the cutterbar without splitting the bar. That translates into less downtime, lower repair costs and more productivity.
The spur gear design also allows the cutterbed profile to be thinner for closer cutting.
As a new feature on the "C" Series disc headers, the rock guards and skid shoes have been merged into a single, long-wearing plate with a smoother profile. The benefits include a dramatic reduction in mud buildup in damp fields. The one-piece unit also includes an access hole for removing the knife bolt when changing blades.
Header speed can be adjusted independently from the engine speed — from 1,800 to 2,600 rpm — for better fuel efficiency and performance in different crop conditions. The electronically controlled speed sensor also maintains a set header speed as engine speed fluctuates.
Pre-lubricated sealed bearings on all gears provide a longer life while substantially reducing maintenance compared to cutterbeds that require regular oil checks.
The wide-profile gear teeth have been "shaved" prior to assembly for a better mesh, higher-load carrying capacity, longer life, less contamination and quieter operation.
New RazorBar™ Disc Headers feature a standard 3 year warranty covering the cast iron module and all internal parts of the cutterbar. All internal components of the RazorBar are accessible through the top of the cutterbar, making it quick and easy for an end user to service.
