Bullshido's Ultimate Goal
Just hypothetically, if Bullshido were to somehow get fascist-dictatorship type control over the Martial Arts, how would the members seek to mold the MA community. In bullshido's perfect world, would there still be aikido or Olympic type-TKD, and the trainers would have to stress that it is useless to fight with, or would we do away with that stuff altogether? Basically, what I'm getting at is what is the 'perfect (MA) world' for the bullshido public?I'm not drowning my sorrows, I'm preserving them in alcohol.

I suspect it would be very much similar to what the existing MA world looks like, except without the pretentiousness or misrepresentation of arts. There are enough people here to represent pretty much every MA demographic, but the one common idea is that you shouldn't mislead people as to what you're teaching, and if you're going to assert that something works, subject it to pressure testing.Rad ki was made up by adolescents. I do not know who created trad ki but it was not made by adolescents. your an ass dude, Im not being a little bitch you are, your past the level of a bitch. Your beyond Bitch! If im easting my time with ki and psi, then your wasting time to prove frauds, and all **** like that! -theoutsider
Kick boxing is ok, but don't expect do beat a man like Rickson Gracie with that. You need a real martial art. You need Xing Yi Quan. -Emptyflower
The splits, how ever, have a few martial uses. Doing the splits for me, can put my fists in testical strike range.
dont ignore the Art for the Martial or else your just kick boxing
Yes i am serious, there are kicks that can block punches. we have them in Moo duk kwan.
I want to learn how to use them in case my arm gets broken in a fight.
what would you have me do? if my arm gets broke, not block punches? -sempi-stone

In a perfect world, inane topics would only be posted in their own thread once and noobs would shut the **** up until they have read the forums and figured out how to search; all posts would similarly have actual substance and there would be no noise posts that I feel stupider for having participated in. That and all kata pics would contain a little green elfen version of Aesopian flipping the bird while practicing his reverse homoplata.Locu5

Apple acquires location data company Locationary
Apple has acquired location data company Locationary, which provides data on local businesses around the world. Not just an acqui-hire, Locationary's technology will also be used by Apple in an effort to improve Apple's mapping efforts. Locationary uses crowdsourced data to continually update and maintain an accurate database of information about businesses, which Apple would find incredibly useful, says All Things D
Not only does Locationary ensure that business listing data is positionally accurate (i.e., the restaurant I searched for is where Apple said it would be), it ensures that it is temporally accurate as well (i.e., the restaurant I searched for is still open for business and not closed for renovation or shuttered entirely).
A lack of data for points of interest, especially of businesses, was one of the many criticisms of Apple Maps when it launched last fall. Locationary's team and technology should not only help Apple correct errors or fill in blanks, but help them do so quickly, and make any future changes rapidly as well. People use Maps, along with apps connected it, to find new and interesting places around them, like a new restaurant that they've been wanting to try. Having up-to-date, accurate information is essential for the Maps' long-term prospects, and Apple seems to be doing everything they can to not only improve what they already have, but to make sure that what they add is accurate as well.
How are Apple Maps working for you these days?

Don't use it at all

The only way Apple can ever come close to having all the POIs that are in Google Maps would be to have Google search as part of Apple's maps. No amount of "other" data is going to be Google. It just won't be the same, ever. I don't think they can really even come close.
The UI and actual navigation is very nice though.
+1, co-signed, and agreed with the above post.
Excellent in the New York areas I live in & drive around for work in (NYC/Queens/Brooklyn/Long Island). Gets used everyday, several times, for stops at customers houses/apartments & commercial buildings. Obviously I can't speak for everyone's usage & definitaly can't speak for the clowns on the other side of the pond (who seem to complain about Apple products/services quite a bit....yet still keep buying & using them), but I have very few complaints.
Like CORYK333, I cannot speak for others but in OH, KY, IL and IN regions where I use maps a lot and in places like AZ, CA, PA, FL and NJ where I traveled recently, I have had no problems.
I use only Apple Maps along with Yelp for POIs and this combination works very well for me. I have not used Google maps since the introduction of Apple Maps and have not missed it all. Cant wait for the desktop version in Mavericks to stop using Google maps completely.

Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Management
Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Management
The business management major provides students with an in-depth understanding of the important issues related to managing people in the corporate and socio-technical environment in which they work. The major also requires exposure to the function of business- i.e..., accounting, finance and marketing. The broad knowledge base provided by this program prepares students for entry-level management positions, initiating entrepreneurial ventures, or entry into a number of occupational fields when beginning a business career.
All undergraduate programs in Kent State University's College of Business lead to the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree. To receive a baccalaureate degree from the College of Business Administration, students must, in addition to other requirements, satisfy the 36-hour minimum requirement stipulated in the Liberal Education Requirements and complete six hours of diversity coursework (at least one domestic and one global course). The programs are accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Admission Requirements
Each candidate for the Bachelor of Business Administration must meet requirements in two areas: the pre-major program (freshman and sophomore) requirements; and the advanced business program (junior and senior) requirements. At least a 2.50 overall GPA is required for admission to all College of Business Administration majors except economics, which requires a 2.25 GPA, and marketing. Marketing will admit up to 150 students to the major each fall, using a target GPA of at least 2.50 on a 4.0 scale.

Celebrate with great joy. Nehemiah 8:12 NIV
Hope your birthday is meow-velous!

Click one of the panels below to read the text on the card.
Recommend: Yes
This past year, I began looking for a unique, kid-friendly birthday card to send to the kids we have in the children's ministry here at the church. I wanted something that a child would enjoy receiving on their big day, and eventually came across DaySpring's UNeek collection of cards. These cards were different from anything else I had found and were a perfect fit for our elementary students. We ended up buying a bulk number of cards as well as stickers to put inside each card. They were exactly what I was looking for, and I am so glad that we have been able to partner with DaySpring this year as we have been sending out the UNeek birthday cards and stickers to our kids! They have been a big hit with the children, and each week we have different students bringing their cards back to church to show our volunteers which card they received. It has been a blessing to see the children light up when they open these cards, and many parents have told us how much their kids have enjoying receiving these fun cards in the mail. We will definitely continue using DaySpring and the UNeek collection of cards in the future, as it has been a small way to connect with families outside the walls of our church building.

A strong password is one that considers the following attributes:
1. Length. GVSU systems allow for varying lengths for passwords (Banner INB, Banner SSB, GVSU Network, etc.) Your password should be a minimum of 8 or more characters in length.
2. Combination of characters. Use numbers, upper and lower case letters within your password.
3. Use words or phrases that are easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess. Substitute numbers for letters.
Password Creation Do's:
1. Determine if the system you are creating the password for allows for pass phrases. The GVSU systems that are commonly used on campus have this ability. This would mean that the system allows for spaces between characters. Example being "My favorite movie is Top Gun with Tom Cruise." Banner SSB only allows for up to 10 character passwords. All other common GVSU systems allow for 20 or more characters.
2. If the system does not support a pass phrase, convert the pass phrase to a password based on a sequence of characters from the pass phrase. If you took the first letter of each word from example #1, the password would be "mfmitgwtc."
3. Make the pass phrase or password more complex. Use upper and lowercase letters, add or substitute numbers, misspell words, and use special characters. The example from above might become "3f3!TgTc."
4. Protect passwords that are written down or electronically stored.
5. Change your passwords regularly.
Password Creation Don'ts:
1. Avoid repeating characters.
2. Avoid names.
3. Avoid birthdays.
4. Avoid dictionary words.
5. Avoid your login name or seasons with sequence numbers after it. Example "Fall2002".
6. Avoid using the same password for all accounts.
7. Do not give your password to anyone.
8. Do not send passwords via email.
9. Do not type passwords on computers you do not control. Public computers can be loaded with keystroke logging applications to recover what others have typed.
What do you do if your password is stolen:
1. Contact the Helpdesk immediately for all GVSU accounts
2. Change your password
3. Monitor your accounts if it is a home account

McGinnis: 2014 Pop Culture Wish List, A few things I'd love to see happen in the New YearWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Now that 2013 is firmly in our rear-view mirror, it is time to look ahead to a new year, full of promise, hope, and a lot of 2013′s garbage to clean up. Kind of like my car, but without the "promise and hope" part. Here are a few of my wishes for what may happen in pop culture during 2014, as well as my guesses on what the odds are that they'll actually happen.
I hope that Peter Parker is restored as Spider-Man. You must give the creative minds at Marvel Comics credit; they have been committed to this course of action for a year now. The company has insisted the whole time that the actual, honest-to-God status quo from now on is villain Doctor Octopus inside Parker's body. And the series has continued to sell well and garner rave reviews from fans that can ignore the plot holes, contrived character choices and how it makes everyone not named "Octopus" look like utter morons. But, seriously, it's time.
Odds: 2:1. This would be even money — a new "Spidey" movie is coming out this summer, and Marvel's unstated policy has always been to restore titles to their status quo just in time for the mainstream to notice them again — but the series is selling well enough that it might convince the company to stretch out the concept even longer. But given all the "EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE! AGAIN!" proclamations centered around issue #30, most likely, Parker will be restored at that point.
I hope the wrestling company named CHIKARA returns. The imaginative group which I called the "Best Thing, Period" of 2010 has been MIA since last summer, where they portrayed a story where it was mysteriously "shut down" by its corporate overlords. Like Marvel, CHIKARA's reps have played along ever since with the fiction that the company was truly done. A series of mini-movies online and bizarre "underground" events and scavenger hunts for dedicated fans indicated otherwise. I'm not sure what the point of this hiatus is, but all I can see is it's brought the momentum of the company to a screeching halt. I hope the relaunch happens soon, so the company can get back to great, imaginative grappling at a time when the industry desperately needs the alternative.
Odds: Even. The endless videos and events prove CHIKARA isn't really dead, and the increased frequency means that a resolution is coming sooner rather than later — probably before WrestleMania in April. (By the way, on a side note: WWE, I have never seen a company work so hard to waste the popularity of a wrestler as you have with Daniel Bryan. Well done.)
I hope we get the announcement of a solo Wonder Woman movie. Fans everywhere have been reacting with passion to the news of Gal Gadot's casting as Diana in the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman" movie, whatever it is to be called. While any reaction to her potential performance as the character is quite premature, a legitimate criticism is that the character's first big screen appearance will be wasted on playing a supporting role in a movie with DC Comics' two biggest names. I hope Warner Bros. doesn't think so little of the world's most recognizable female superhero that the company's only plan is to use her as a back-up player. She deserves a shot as a lead.
Odds: 10:1, at least. My gut says that DC will continue to follow the excuse that "female superheroes don't sell," citing the "Catwoman" and "Elektra" movies as proof. (This ignores the fact that those movies stunk on ice and wouldn't have sold even with male leads.) I hold out hope that putting Wonder Woman in the new flick is being seen as a test to see how audiences respond to the character, which maybe means she'll get a shot later on. But even if that's true, chances are we won't get an announcement on that until 2015 at the earliest.
I hope we get new content on HomestarRunner.com. This one is the longest of long shots, I admit. Recently I've been revisiting some of the classic cartoons posted on this seemingly long-abandoned website, reminding myself of how wonderfully offbeat and hilarious it was. Many afternoons in the mid-2000s were wasted by myself and countless others tooling around on the site, where characters like Strong Bad, Bubs, Coach Z, The Cheat and others held court. HomestarRunner.com hasn't been regularly updated since 2009, with its primary creators the Chapman brothers moving on to other projects. But many — myself included — continue to hold out hope that the fun is not truly over for everybody, everybody.
Odds: 200:1. Honestly, these odds would be even longer if it weren't for a few minor news bits from this past year: Strong Bad appearing at the geek music festival "W00tstock" last summer, news that the Brothers Chapman will be collaborating with musicians Paul and Storm on a flash cartoon. There's still no word on a true relaunching of the siblings' most famous creation, and it's likely to stay that way. But one can look at a tweet posted by Matt Chapman on his now-defunct Twitter account and hold out hope: "Someday, when you least expect it…"

Come on guys lets be serious this isnt like the iphone that a vast majority of people like no one but fanboys want this i actually like apple but i promise ill never see one of these anywhere i go
iPhone live 119: I want my Apple TV
We're talking iOS 4.2 beta 2 and the new Apple TV, asking what are iPhone 3,2 and 3,3, SHAttering Jailbreak exploits, and wondering if Android will end OS innovation. No muppets will be hurt in the making of this podcast, folks. This is iPhone live!
Thanks to the TiPb iPhone accessory store for sponsoring the podcast, and to everyone who showed up for the live chat!

iPhone live 119: I want my Apple TV
I agree. I want one, but I was one because I CAN, not for anything but that. I already stream netflix on my PS3 and my laptop. Also, everyone I know who has Netflix already has a way of viewing it (that's probably how they've BEEN using it...). It seems like it's buying something that enables you to buy other things. For me at least, It's just a nice thing to have because it looks nice, and is from Apple. I probably won't end up buying one because I really don't see it's features as being anything useful.. Like, do you really want to rent movies in HD? Netflix allows you to rent a DVD when it's released as well. And Do you REALLY want to rent TV shows? A lot of websites have copies of shows up-to-date and for free. And about the price, It shouldn't be more than 99 bucks, it should be less, it doesn't really do anything so spectacular....
Another podcast full of dumb analysis from a bunch of apple fanboys, butthurt that Android is growing in leaps in bounds. Georgia, manufacturers aren't making Android phones trying to fine one that works, they are making so many phones because the phones are selling. Do they not offer any credible economic courses up their Canada?
This was the first time listening to this podcast, and it's most defiantly my last. The amount of misinformation in this one show is absurd.
Android phone makers aren't trying to 'find the right phone' they already found quite a few hits, actually. and as technology changes, the phones will change.
iTunes doesn't allow AirPrint to work, and OS 10.6.5 should allow AirPrint to work.
Of course apple took an iPod touch and crammed it into a box, and modified the OS a bit.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that perhaps the reason the iPhone has more memory is because it's a damn phone, it has to be ready to receive text messages, phone calls, and voice mails. things the iPad or iPod touch don't do!

By Market Dynamics. (New York, N.Y.: Girl Scouts of the USA, 1998). (Executive Summary, 64 pp.)
The primary objective of the research was to develop a representative profile of the adult membership of Girl Scouting with respect to demographic composition (relative to the general female population age 18-75), as well as skills and capabilities.
The study was also designed to provide insight into members' motivations for volunteering and their degree of involvement with Girl Scouting in order to identify opportunities for attracting new volunteers and improving communications with leaders (e.g., through such publications as Girl Scout Leader magazine).
The study objectives were investigated via the following research methodologies: (1) a telephone survey among Girl Scout and non-Girl Scout adult females in the U.S.; and (2) market segmentation analysis.
The findings would also be utilized in the development of training and resource materials in order to enhance their volunteer experience.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by JRita2187 Definitely for a Certain Bodytype... Ok, to start... this dress is beautiful. It's nicely made, and the colors are on point. That being said, I'm short (5'3") and athletic build, 115lbs, with a larger chest (32D) and a decent sized booty. I'm not heavy at all, but I do have a hourglass curve to my body. This dress made me look obese. It hugged my stomach and just made my body in general look fat, especially from the side. It is however, giving me motivation to up my cardio routine to lose the love handles that this dress made VERY apparent. Usually tight dresses make me look va-va-voom, but this dress was just, no. It actually depressed me when I put it on. I feel this dress would be stunning on the long/lean/slender body type... just beware if you're curvy at all. I also feel the sizing wouldn't matter much, I did buy a xs/s, but if I bought a m/l the shoulders would have fallen off of me and length would be all wrong. Its the fabric that's the problem, no size is going to fix that it hugs the wrong areas. Just be careful. 4.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SarahDinh Beautiful Slip Dress Ok, so I read all of the reviews from the sleeveless Seamless Medallion Bodycon Dress to this one and from looking at the pictures, I decided to play it safe and order the dress in size M/L because everyone said it ran super-tight and the XS/S looked like it was extremely short in one of the pictures..For sizing reference, I am 5'4" and about 100lbs with a 32A-B chest, so I was pretty nervous about ordering the dress in this size because I normally wear extra small in everything "Free People." I am so glad I decided to go with the M/L, though, because it looks like it is the size of all of my other dresses and when I put it on, it looks like the way it does on the models - not tight looking or making me look like a packed sausage at all. It is very pretty, especially in the maroon/rose color, although I might mention, like some other reviewers also said, that the dress is pretty long. It can be but it is as long as it looks on the model. It doesn't go past the knees on me and LIKE on the model it can be adjusted to be longer or short according to your liking. 2.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sfchic11 stunning on! I wanted this dress to wear on NYE 11-12 and didn't buy it, so when the holiday came around again and I had a fp discount, I knew I had to get it. I thought it might end up being too short but it was easy to stretch out or scrunch up to adjust the length how I wanted it. The one complaint I have is that I have fairly narrow shoulders and that is the one place it's not a perfect fit, but its really not very noticeable. I wore it with ankle boots and minimal jewelry on NYE and it looked incredible. I have never felt sexier, my boyfriend absolutely melted, and I think I gave a few guys whiplash in the restaurant where we had dinner. If you have doubts about this dress, forget them. I will wear this one every chance I get! 1.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cbags92 Amazing!! I love this dress! I bought it in the purple, and it is perfect. It fits exactly like the Sleeveless Medallion Slip, so if you have tried that on you would be the same size. Although I love this dress more than the sleeveless version. The colors are so rich and the lace is a beautiful texture. The sleeves are less tight than the dress so it feels more relaxed. I am 110 lbs, 32B, 5'4" and the XS/S fit me perfectly. Warning- it is VERY tight, and if you don't like the feel of tight clothing, I wouldn't get this. 8.19.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by cw5 If you have absolutely no fat, buy this dress! I was so excited to get this dress in the mail, I ordered it in the blue and the color and lace were very pretty! On the other hand, I ordered it in the xs/s because there were no m/l left and it was VERY tight. I am a slim 5'6, but this dress made me look fat, even. Maybe this dress would have been perfect in the m/l, but I ordered it for a homecoming and I didn't have time to return it. If you look like one of the models, I would suggest this dress... for anyone else, either size up or buy another dress! :) 10.30.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by loooorg Rode up. I am 5'8" 120 lbs. I ordered a M/L in lavender. Beautiful color. Felt great for a 'sausage casing'. Soft feel next to my body, and nice stretch to it. I wore it around the house for 10 minutes and it rode up to look like the last picture in the berry blush color. If I kept it on 5 minutes more, I think it would have gone up to my crotch. Not what I was wanting. 9.24.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by CarlyCouture Another Great Dress!! I bought this dress in the berry color and I'm in love with it! It can easily be dressed up or dressed down and looks great with everything. I'm 6'0, 115 lbs & 32A (tall & slender build) and the XS/S fits perfectly! The fabric is super soft and stretchy, but it does ride up a bit. Overall totally love this dress! 3.19.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ashleyjeanne Beautiful Lace Bodycon I am absolutely in love with this dress. The pink color is perfect with my skin tone and is great year round. This was my first purchase EVER from FP and now I'm hooked. The dress fits true to size and hugs in all the right places. If you are body conscious and are concerned about this dress don't be! The lace overlay hides any lines. 2.11.2014

- Parkinson phenotype in aged PINK1-deficient mice is accompanied by progressive mitochondrial dysfunction in absence of neurodegeneration (2009)
- Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is an adult-onset movement disorder of largely unknown etiology. We have previously shown that loss-of-function mutations of the mitochondrial protein kinase PINK1 (PTEN induced putative kinase 1) cause the recessive PARK6 variant of PD. Methodology/Principal Findings Now we generated a PINK1 deficient mouse and observed several novel phenotypes: A progressive reduction of weight and of locomotor activity selectively for spontaneous movements occurred at old age. As in PD, abnormal dopamine levels in the aged nigrostriatal projection accompanied the reduced movements. Possibly in line with the PARK6 syndrome but in contrast to sporadic PD, a reduced lifespan, dysfunction of brainstem and sympathetic nerves, visible aggregates of alpha-synuclein within Lewy bodies or nigrostriatal neurodegeneration were not present in aged PINK1-deficient mice. However, we demonstrate PINK1 mutant mice to exhibit a progressive reduction in mitochondrial preprotein import correlating with defects of core mitochondrial functions like ATP-generation and respiration. In contrast to the strong effect of PINK1 on mitochondrial dynamics in Drosophila melanogaster and in spite of reduced expression of fission factor Mtp18, we show reduced fission and increased aggregation of mitochondria only under stress in PINK1-deficient mouse neurons. Conclusion Thus, aging Pink1 -/- mice show increasing mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in impaired neural activity similar to PD, in absence of overt neuronal death.
- Striatal dopamine transmission is subtly modified in human A53Tα-synuclein overexpressing mice (2012)
- Mutations in, or elevated dosage of, SNCA, the gene for α-synuclein (α-syn), cause familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Mouse lines overexpressing the mutant human A53Tα-syn may represent a model of early PD. They display progressive motor deficits, abnormal cellular accumulation of α-syn, and deficits in dopamine-dependent corticostriatal plasticity, which, in the absence of overt nigrostriatal degeneration, suggest there are age-related deficits in striatal dopamine (DA) signalling. In addition A53Tα-syn overexpression in cultured rodent neurons has been reported to inhibit transmitter release. Therefore here we have characterized for the first time DA release in the striatum of mice overexpressing human A53Tα-syn, and explored whether A53Tα-syn overexpression causes deficits in the release of DA. We used fast-scan cyclic voltammetry to detect DA release at carbon-fibre microelectrodes in acute striatal slices from two different lines of A53Tα-syn-overexpressing mice, at up to 24 months. In A53Tα-syn overexpressors, mean DA release evoked by a single stimulus pulse was not different from wild-types, in either dorsal striatum or nucleus accumbens. However the frequency responsiveness of DA release was slightly modified in A53Tα-syn overexpressors, and in particular showed slight deficiency when the confounding effects of striatal ACh acting at presynaptic nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) were antagonized. The re-release of DA was unmodified after single-pulse stimuli, but after prolonged stimulation trains, A53Tα-syn overexpressors showed enhanced recovery of DA release at old age, in keeping with elevated striatal DA content. In summary, A53Tα-syn overexpression in mice causes subtle changes in the regulation of DA release in the striatum. While modest, these modifications may indicate or contribute to striatal dysfunction.
- Primary skin fibroblasts as a model of Parkinson's disease (2012)
- Parkinson's disease is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disorder. While most cases occur sporadic mutations in a growing number of genes including Parkin (PARK2) and PINK1 (PARK6) have been associated with the disease. Different animal models and cell models like patient skin fibroblasts and recombinant cell lines can be used as model systems for Parkinson's disease. Skin fibroblasts present a system with defined mutations and the cumulative cellular damage of the patients. PINK1 and Parkin genes show relevant expression levels in human fibroblasts and since both genes participate in stress response pathways, we believe fibroblasts advantageous in order to assess, e.g. the effect of stressors. Furthermore, since a bioenergetic deficit underlies early stage Parkinson's disease, while atrophy underlies later stages, the use of primary cells seems preferable over the use of tumor cell lines. The new option to use fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells redifferentiated into dopaminergic neurons is an additional benefit. However, the use of fibroblast has also some drawbacks. We have investigated PARK6 fibroblasts and they mirror closely the respiratory alterations, the expression profiles, the mitochondrial dynamics pathology and the vulnerability to proteasomal stress that has been documented in other model systems. Fibroblasts from patients with PARK2, PARK6, idiopathic Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 demonstrated a distinct and unique mRNA expression pattern of key genes in neurodegeneration. Thus, primary skin fibroblasts are a useful Parkinson's disease model, able to serve as a complement to animal mutants, transformed cell lines and patient tissues.
- Restriction of trophic factors and nutrients induces PARKIN expression (2011)
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative movement disorder and manifests at old age. While many details of its pathogenesis remain to be elucidated, in particular the protein and mitochondrial quality control during stress responses have been implicated in monogenic PD variants. Especially the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 and the ubiquitin ligase PARKIN are known to cooperate in autophagy after mitochondrial damage. As autophagy is also induced by loss of trophic signaling and PINK1 gene expression is modulated after deprivation of cytokines, we analyzed to what extent trophic signals and starvation stress regulate PINK1 and PARKIN expression. Time course experiments with serum deprivation and nutrient starvation of human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and primary mouse neurons demonstrated phasic induction of PINK1 transcript up to twofold and PARKIN transcript levels up to sixfold. The corresponding threefold starvation induction of PARKIN protein was limited by its translocation to lysosomes. Analysis of primary mouse cells from PINK1-knockout mice indicated that PARKIN induction and lysosomal translocation occurred independent of PINK1. Suppression of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling by pharmacological agents modulated PARKIN expression accordingly. In conclusion, this expression survey demonstrates that PARKIN and PINK1 are coregulated during starvation and suggest a role of both PD genes in response to trophic signals and starvation stress.
- A53T-alpha-synuclein-overexpression in the mouse nigrostriatal pathway leads to early increase of 14-3-3 epsilon and late increase of GFAP (2011)
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder frequent at old age characterized by atrophy of the nigrostriatal projection. Overexpression and A53T-mutation of the presynaptic, vesicle-associated chaperone alpha-synuclein are known to cause early-onset autosomal dominant PD. We previously generated mice with transgenic overexpression of human A53T-alpha-synuclein (A53T-SNCA) in dopaminergic substantia nigra neurons as a model of early PD. To elucidate the early and late effects of A53T-alpha-synuclein on the proteome of dopaminergic nerve terminals in the striatum, we now investigated expression profiles of young and old mice using two-dimensional fluorescence difference in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and mass spectrometry. In total, 15 proteins were upregulated and 2 downregulated. Mice before the onset of motor anomalies showed an upregulation of the spot containing 14-3-3 proteins, in particular the epsilon isoform, as well as altered levels of chaperones, vesicle trafficking and bioenergetics proteins. In old mice, the persistent upregulation of 14-3-3 proteins was aggravated by an increase of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) suggesting astrogliosis due to initial neurodegeneration. Independent immunoblots corroborated GFAP upregulation and 14-3-3 upregulation for the epsilon isoform, and also detected significant eta and gamma changes. Only for 14-3-3 epsilon a corresponding mRNA increase was observed in midbrain, suggesting it is transcribed in dopaminergic perikarya and accumulates as protein in presynapses, together with A53T-SNCA. 14-3-3 proteins associate with alpha-synuclein in vitro and in pathognomonic Lewy bodies of PD brains. They act as chaperones in signaling, dopamine synthesis and stress response. Thus, their early dysregulation probably reflects a response to alpha-synuclein toxicity.

- The mitochondrial kinase PINK1, stress response and Parkinson's disease (2009)
- Mitochondrial dysfunction is well documented in presymptomatic brain tissue with Parkinson's disease (PD). Identification of the autosomal recessive variant PARK6 caused by loss-of-function mutations in the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 provides an opportunity to dissect pathogenesis. Although PARK6 shows clinical differences to PD, the induction of alpha-synuclein "Lewy" pathology by PINK1-deficiency proves that mitochondrial pathomechanisms are relevant for old-age PD. Mitochondrial dysfunction is induced by PINK1 deficiency even in peripheral tissues unaffected by disease, consistent with the ubiquitous expression of PINK1. It remains unclear whether this dysfunction is due to PINK1-mediated phosphorylation of proteins inside or outside mitochondria. Although PINK1 deficiency affects the mitochondrial fission/fusion balance, cell stress is required in mammals to alter mitochondrial dynamics and provoke apoptosis. Clearance of damaged mitochondria depends on pathways including PINK1 and Parkin and is critical for postmitotic neurons with high energy demand and cumulative stress, providing a mechanistic concept for the tissue specificity of disease.
- Alpha-synuclein deficiency leads to increased glyoxalase I expression and glycation stress (2010)
- The presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein has received much attention because its gain-of-function is associated with Parkinson's disease. However, its physiological function is still poorly understood. We studied brain regions of knock-out mice at different ages with regard to consistent upregulations of the transcriptome and focused on glyoxalase I (GLO1). The microarray data were confirmed in qPCR, immunoblot, enzyme activity, and behavior analyses. GLO1 induction is a known protective cellular response to glucose stress, representing efforts to decrease toxic levels of methylglyoxal (MG), glyoxal and advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Mass spectrometry quantification demonstrated a ubiquitous increase in MG and fructosyl-lysine as consequences of glucose toxicity, and consistent enhancement of certain AGEs. Thus, GLO1 induction in KO brain seems insufficient to prevent AGE formation. In conclusion, the data demonstrate GLO1 expression and glycation damage to be induced by alpha-synuclein ablation. We propose that wild-type alpha-synuclein modulates brain glucose metabolism.
- Loss of PINK1 impairs stress-induced autophagy and cell survival (2014)
- The mitochondrial kinase PINK1 and the ubiquitin ligase Parkin are participating in quality control after CCCP- or ROSinduced mitochondrial damage, and their dysfunction is associated with the development and progression of Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, PINK1 expression is also induced by starvation indicating an additional role for PINK1 in stress response. Therefore, the effects of PINK1 deficiency on the autophago-lysosomal pathway during stress were investigated. Under trophic deprivation SH-SY5Y cells with stable PINK1 knockdown showed downregulation of key autophagic genes, including Beclin, LC3 and LAMP-2. In good agreement, protein levels of LC3-II and LAMP-2 but not of LAMP-1 were reduced in different cell model systems with PINK1 knockdown or knockout after addition of different stressors. This downregulation of autophagic factors caused increased apoptosis, which could be rescued by overexpression of LC3 or PINK1. Taken together, the PINK1-mediated reduction of autophagic key factors during stress resulted in increased cell death, thus defining an additional pathway that could contribute to the progression of Parkinson's disease in patients with PINK1 mutations.
- ATXN2-CAG42 sequesters PABPC1 into insolubility and induces FBXW8 in cerebellum of old ataxic knock-in mice (2012)
- Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 (SCA2) is caused by expansion of a polyglutamine encoding triplet repeat in the human ATXN2 gene beyond (CAG)31. This is thought to mediate toxic gain-of-function by protein aggregation and to affect RNA processing, resulting in degenerative processes affecting preferentially cerebellar neurons. As a faithful animal model, we generated a knock-in mouse replacing the single CAG of murine Atxn2 with CAG42, a frequent patient genotype. This expansion size was inherited stably. The mice showed phenotypes with reduced weight and later motor incoordination. Although brain Atxn2 mRNA became elevated, soluble ATXN2 protein levels diminished over time, which might explain partial loss-of-function effects. Deficits in soluble ATXN2 protein correlated with the appearance of insoluble ATXN2, a progressive feature in cerebellum possibly reflecting toxic gains-of-function. Since in vitro ATXN2 overexpression was known to reduce levels of its protein interactor PABPC1, we studied expansion effects on PABPC1. In cortex, PABPC1 transcript and soluble and insoluble protein levels were increased. In the more vulnerable cerebellum, the progressive insolubility of PABPC1 was accompanied by decreased soluble protein levels, with PABPC1 mRNA showing no compensatory increase. The sequestration of PABPC1 into insolubility by ATXN2 function gains was validated in human cell culture. To understand consequences on mRNA processing, transcriptome profiles at medium and old age in three different tissues were studied and demonstrated a selective induction of Fbxw8 in the old cerebellum. Fbxw8 is encoded next to the Atxn2 locus and was shown in vitro to decrease the level of expanded insoluble ATXN2 protein. In conclusion, our data support the concept that expanded ATXN2 undergoes progressive insolubility and affects PABPC1 by a toxic gain-of-function mechanism with tissuespecific effects, which may be partially alleviated by the induction of FBXW8.
- Modulation of the glyoxalase system in the aging model Podospora anserina: effects on growth and lifespan (2010)
- The eukaryotic glyoxalase system consists of two enzymatic components, glyoxalase I (lactoylglutathionelyase) and glyoxalase II (hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase). These enzymes are dedicated to the removal of toxic alpha-oxoaldehydes like methylglyoxal (MG). MG is formed as a by-product of glycolysis and MG toxicity results from its damaging capability leading to modifications of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. An efficient removal of MG appears to be essential to ensure cellular functionality and viability. Here we study the effects of the genetic modulation of genes encoding the components of the glyoxalase system in the filamentous ascomycete and aging model Podospora anserina. Overexpression of PaGlo1 leads to a lifespan reduction on glucose rich medium, probably due to depletion of reduced glutathione. Deletion of PaGlo1 leads to hypersensitivity against MG added to the growth medium. A beneficial effect on lifespan is observed when both PaGlo1 and PaGlo2 are overexpressed and the corresponding strains are grown on media containing increased glucose concentrations. Notably, the double mutant has a 'healthy' phenotype without physiological impairments. Moreover, PaGlo1/PaGlo2_OEx strains are not long-lived on media containing standard glucose concentrations suggesting a tight correlation between the efficiency and capacity to remove MG within the cell, the level of available glucose and lifespan. Overall, our results identify the up-regulation of both components of the glyoxalase system as an effective intervention to increase lifespan in P. anserina. Key words: Podospora anserina, aging, lifespan, glycation, glucose, methylglyoxal, advanced glycation end products

Vt. woman killed in road-rage encounterBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | September 27,2013Burlington Free Press Photo
Vermont State Police investigators work on the scene of a fatal shooting that occurred Wednesday night at 248 North Main St. in St. Albans. A Swanton man allegedly fired 11 shots and killed a Highgate woman.ST. ALBANS Police said a Swanton man, distraught after breaking up with his mistress, fired 11 shots and killed a different woman who had confronted him after he ran a red light.
Matthew Webster, 30, pleaded innocent Thursday to the shooting death of Anna Alger, 30, of Highgate, the day before in St. Albans. Authorities said the two didnt know each other, and described the fatal encounter as road rage.
Webster was held without bail after his arraignment on a charge of second-degree murder in St. Albans criminal court.
Police said Webster had just broken up with a woman with whom he was having an affair, and was followed by his wife who was making sure he ended the relationship. Webster told police he was carrying a gun because he planned to kill himself, court documents said.
On the way home from the breakup, with his wife following, police said, Webster ran a red light and was nearly struck by Algers car. Websters wife saw him run the light and called to tell him he had done so, court documents said.
Webster pulled over on North Main St. in St. Albans because he realized he was in no condition to drive, police said. He got out of the car, he told police, but didnt realize he still had the gun in his hand.
Alger had followed him after the near-collision and was yelling at Webster as she approached, police said.
Webster said his wife was watching as Alger charged like a six-point buck coming over a hill, Detective Benjamin Couture of St. Albans Police wrote in an affidavit.
Webster told police he shot Alger because he thought that would stop her. But he said she kept coming and he emptied the clip and reloaded, Couture wrote.
Investigators found 11 empty 9 mm shell cases on the road near where Alger was shot, the detective said.
Webster told police that after he shot Alger he tried to shoot himself, but the gun did not fire.
Minutes after the shooting, Webster was arrested nearby.
During Websters brief arraignment, Deputy States Attorney John Lavoie called the shooting an act of extreme violence.
It was a random act, Lavoie said. The defendant and Ms. Alger had no relationship whatsoever.
Algers family was in the courtroom during the arraignment. Several cried loudly while Lavoie described parts of the shooting. Afterward they declined to comment to reporters.
The charge against Webster carries a possible sentence of life in prison.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department has put out a warning about the wild parsnip, a common...

With the economic situation impacting our nation, most citizens have felt the financial restrains, not to mention the growing frustration with paychecks that don't seem to stretch as far as they used to.
A local resident, LeAnn Rees, owner and operator or TLR Youth Ranch and Horse Rescue, has seen the impact up close and personal with horrifying realty that she can not turn a blind eye to. In the past six months she has rescued two horses that were in critical condition, or would have been shortly.
One of the rescues was found in January wondering on Walker's Loop, after being dumped off by her owners. A lady who lived on the road noticed the two year old filly trying to eat grass in her yard and called Reece for assistance. Rees picked up the horse and quickly began nursing her back to health.
The more devastating of the two rescues was picked up just a few weeks ago. The Chief of Police contacted Rees trying to get the numbers to animal welfare organizations. After nothing was being done, the Chief contact Rees again to see if she would take a look at the horse to see if there was any hope for the animal. Rees quickly noticed that the horse was in very bad condition. Rees checked the horses gums for color, which she found, indicating that the horses circulator system was still trying to work.
Upon further investigation of the animal's welfare Rees reported that it had become emaciated, had sand burns on both sides of it's body, had rope burns on the front feet, had pressure wounds, and due to a lack of movement on the left side of the horses face, could have possibly suffered from a heat stroke.
Two weeks later the horse is still hanging in there. Now at Rees's Rescue facility, it is getting up and down on it's own and eating. This is not how the horse was when it was first brought home. At one point after the rescue the horse was no longer able to stand on its own and Rees had to use a tractor and sling to keep the horse standing. Also the horses urine was brown and cloudy upon arrival and it had diarrhea, which is dangerous with the heat as it can quickly lead to further dehydration.
"Over the years most of the rescues that I have been involved with are caused by nothing more than neglecting to properly care for their animals. It doesn't take much to keep your horses up and going during this economically tough time," said Rees. " All it takes is a bag of feed (50 lbs for under $10), a few bales of hay (1 bail can last as long as 2 weeks and costs under $5), a salt mineral lick and making sure they have access to plenty of water and shade."
Rees said that the cost of maintaining your horse is far less that what it takes to bring them back if they reach a bad condition. "Once you let them go down you are going to spend more to get them back up to par, if you can even get them back to a healthy state."
Rees gave us a few pointers for readers who might not know much about horses or are new owners. #1- make sure they have plenty of water so that they can stay super hydrated with the heat. #2- make sure the animal(s) have access to a good amount of shade. #3- When the temperatures are up this high with a humidity factor do not ride them. A horses body heat elevates 10 times faster than a humans and they can suffer from heat strokes just as easily as we can. And #4- Make sure they have access to a salt mineral supplement to help them replace important minerals and keep them hydrated.
"There is no need for something like this to happen," said Rees. If you know of animals who are being neglected, abused, mistreated or that simply are no longer wanted or can't be taken care of, do the responsible thing and contact local Humane Societies, Animal Control officers, Police officers, local veterinarians or anyone else you can think of that may be able to help. Never let these acts go unreported. No animal deserves to have a painful life or needs to suffer. Admitting you can no longer care for your animals can be tough but it is the adult thing to do. Do not let the animals suffer on the behalf of your ego.
Rees has her hands full as she is doing this operation by herself, and is still trying to become a nonprofit facility and get the youth ranch up and going. Rees is not asking for monitory donations but would appreciate any time you could donate to help her in this noble cause. She currently has roofing materials to put over her stales but this is a slow process as she is doing it alone. Any and all donations are welcome and deeply appreciated, not only from Rees but also her four legged guests. Contact Rees at 580-298-2199.

I have fitted it on my x39, and it fit without a hitch. I don't know if you'll have to do any work to the front trunnion or not. Try putting an AR mag in the gun as it is now. Will it fit tightly against the magrails, or does it hit the front trunnion first? If it hits the trunnion you'll have to enlarge the gap in the trunnion so the mags will fit to use the adapter. Most of the time on almost any standard .223 AK receiver, if the AR mag will fit in the magwell all the way, it will work.
I don't have a .223 Norinco yet. I have tried it on my x 39 Norinco and it fits perfectly, so I'm sure it will fit a .223.

The Asia-Pacific Statistics Newsletter, Third Quarter 2014, provides information on the "Without better evidence, the next development agenda will not be achieved"; features an Interview with the Executive Secretary of ESCAP; provides update on the areas of work; and announces important events and meetings.
This policy brief, issued as part of the Trade Insights series, reviews the role of safeguards in the Asia-Pacific region and discusses whether such measures promote or hinder liberalization.
The Trade Insights series summarizes current trade related issues; offers examples of good practice in trade policymaking; and helps disseminate key research findings of relevance to policy. The series is intended to inform both trade and development practitioners and the general public.
This policy brief, issued as part of the Trade Insights series, reviews the recent usage of non-tariff measures (NTMs) in the automotive sector in the Republic of Korea, with a specific focus on technical barriers to trade (TBTs). It finds that, despite provisions to reduce TBTs in recent trade agreements with the US and EU, TBTs and other non-tariff barriers remain a substantial barrier to entry in the Korean automotive market.
This brief provides a summary of the TIR system and introduces the most important attributes of the future eTIR system. It highlights the fact that, for many countries worldwide including those in the Asia-Pacific region, the TIR system is an important tool for international transit and transport facilitation. It also illustrates how, by incorporating modern ICT technologies, the eTIR system will further enhance transit and transport facilitation while further securing government revenues.
The Annual Report 2014 outlines the work programme and activities of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific through case studies and highlights during 2013-2014. It includes reporting of successes, resource mobilization, capacity building and examples of cooperation between ESCAP and its stakeholders. It takes time to detail programmes delivered across the region, looking at both the bigger picture and work done to further development in the subregions.
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report (APTIR) is a recurrent publication prepared by the Trade and Investment Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. It provides information on and independent analyses of trends and developments in: (a) intra- and inter-regional trade in goods and services; (b) foreign direct investment; (c) trade facilitation measures; (d) trade policy measures; and (e) preferential trade policies and agreements.
There is a pressing need for the countries in the Asia-Pacific region to establish their own sustainable mechanism to monitor the effectiveness of trade and transport facilitation reforms and measures and identify solutions to streamline and optimize trade and transport process. Although existing global trade facilitation performance surveys and databases provide useful information on benchmarking and raise awareness, they do not provide sufficiently detailed information to develop or update national trade and transport facilitation action plans.
ESCAP supports governments in Asia-Pacific in implementing measures to efficiently involve the private sector in infrastructure development. Developing case studies is part of this effort and promotes exchange of experience among the countries of the region.
Case 1: Traffic Demand Risk / The case of Bangkok's Skytrain (BTS)
The following case study examines the issue of traffic demand risk and sheds light on how the problem of inaccurate ridership forecasts can impact a PPP project by using the example of the Bangkok SkyTrain.
Countries that implement trade facilitation reforms and enhance trade efficiency and connectivity are generally expected to attract more foreign direct investments. This paper is a first attempt to quantify the potential impact of trade facilitation on FDI flows. Using a unique bilateral dataset on FDI flows covering both OECD and developing economies in Asia and the Pacific, we estimate gravity models of FDI featuring relevant trade costs and trade facilitation indicators.
Structural transformation, economic diversification and logistics are some of the issues explored in this new book from the Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT). The volume's essays use various methodologies to provide new perspectives on the region's growth and prospects. Individual chapter's focus on: trade policy in Nepal; logistics in Bangladesh and Thailand; Sri Lankan exports; and SMEs in Cambodia.
The book contains the following chapters:

Our five-month-old daughter has trouble going to sleep on her own. We put her down in her crib when she starts getting sleepy, but almost instantly she starts to scream until we pick her up. We have tried pacifiers, lullaby tapes, and rocking, but she insists on being walked. This is wearing us out. Help!
Marc Hall – Richmond, Virginia
Dr. Greene's Answer:
Your darling daughter has worked her magic on your heart. Her smiles delight you, but oh, the despair that comes with her incessant crying. Hearing her cry, much less scream, will cause physical changes in your body as your muscles tense and your heart beats a little bit faster. On top of that, both you and your wife are probably sleep deprived by now. All in all, a very difficult situation. If you want to change this pattern of behavior, to actually get your baby to sleep through the night — you can. I will tell you, though, it won't be easy.
How to Teach Your Baby to Fall Asleep on Her Own
At about this age (3 to 6 months) most babies begin to occasionally sleep through the night on their own. As soon as your daughter has slept through the night at least once (after you have gone through the painful process of getting her to sleep), you can begin to teach her to sleep the entire the night in her crib — including falling asleep. If there is any question that she might be teething, getting a cold, or otherwise needing special attention on the night that you are going to initiate this process, wait to start it. If you are going to be successful, there is no turning back once you start.
This is how it is done:
- Prepare for bedtime as you normally would, making sure all of her physical needs are met.
- Include all the things that she has learned to associate with going to sleep in her bedtime ritual, i.e. lullaby tape, special blanket or toy, etc.
- When she gets sleepy, put her in her bed.
- Position yourself so that you can gently pat her and make sure she remains lying down by gently applying pressure on her body if needed.
- When she begins to cry, don't pick her up — this will be extremely hard to do, but if you pick her up, she will learn to cry next time until you do again!
- Continue to pat her, sing to her, tell her you love her –whatever it takes –even though she is crying. You will not be abandoning her, only teaching her to let go and fall asleep.
- Ideally, you and her mother can do this together for mutual support.
- When one of you can't take it anymore, that one should leave the room for a while.
- Keep singing, patting, and comforting her until she falls asleep.
This Will Work…Eventually
The first night it may take an hour-and-a-half or even more for her to go to sleep. The following night she may go to sleep all by herself or you may need go to through the same painful process again. Either way, you will probably face about six crying episodes before your daughter learns how to go to sleep on her own. Each successive episode will get shorter than the one before it. Also, you can begin to leave her alone for a few minutes at a time during the crying and screaming period.
Once Started, You Must Follow the Plan. No Turning Back!
If you decide to tackle this problem head on, it is very important that you and her mother agree that this is the way you are going to handle it. No matter how hard it gets, you must follow the plan with two exceptions:
1) If your child is sick then, of course, you will want to take her out of her crib and give her the attention she needs.
2) If you are on vacation, or not in your own home, and your daughter is disoriented or afraid, you may want to hold her. If this is the case, she will be able to grasp that there is a special reason Daddy is walking her to sleep. Generally the nights following exceptions are rougher than usual, so leave extra time in your schedule to help her get back into the pattern of going to sleep on her own.
By teaching your daughter to fall asleep on her own you will be teaching her some very valuable skills! Although this is extremely difficult, it is really worth the struggle. To be successful in life she needs to learn how to put herself to sleep. When she does, she, and you will be much happier.

Ex-judge asks Prescott to ban assault weapons
PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- The Prescott City Council has rebuffed a former judge who urged the council to adopt a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons in the city.
Former Yavapai County Superior Court Judge Ralph Hess told the council that banning assault weapons is one thing that can be done to help prevent mass shootings such as the 2011 on in Tucson.
The Daily Courier reports that Hess told the Prescott council that the availability of assault weapons is among numerous factors that contribute to mass shootings.
However, Mayor Marlin Kuykendall says the city doesn't have the legal authority to regulate assault weapons because Arizona law generally bars local governments from enacting gun laws.
