The Witchcraft Of Spanish Vocabulary
The very first step to conquering a language is to tame its vocabulary. And sadly, that's the part that puts off most novice learners because memorizing strange-sounding words is too darn boring! A never-ending chant of rote rehearsal and a nervous prayer can see you through an upcoming test, but the process just won't cut it if your goal is to actually use the language in the street. It's a mystery how this incredibly inefficient method has survived this long and still continues to be perpetuated by schools and educators around the world. So is there any nirvana around this assault of monotony in our miserable lives? Anything that could make learning foreign words less painful?
The Essential Black Friday Spanish Vocabulary
Thanksgiving is over and so is the charade of thanking the almighty for all you have. With that bit out of the way, now's the time to ammo-up for the big loot, better known as the Black Friday. I mean when does one have just enough? That's ridiculous. When the discounts are this big, enough is never enough. So if you're planning to survive the soul-churning stampede, here's a quick lesson on words that could come in handy should you find yourself plundering a store in one of those Latin quarters in town. You never know the store management might just be impressed with your vocabulary enough to offer you a welcome freebie, right?
Show Off Your Spanish Skills This Thanksgiving
This post is for our American friends learning Spanish. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we just can't wait for the big turkey dinner with friends and family. Now, although the occasion isn't exactly observed by the Spanish-speaking world, a fiesta is a fiesta. Let's face it, Thanksgiving is all about food and so are the Latinos! So, now would be as awesome a time as any to brag about your Spanish before an audience of clueless folks. The millions of Spanish-speakers who call America home enjoy the day as much as you do if not more. And why not! A day off is a day off, after all. And the turkey dinner. So let's dive in and get it over with.
Este, Ese, Aquel – One Trick To Nail'em All
It might sound extremely simplistic at first glance but the demonstratives in Spanish often stump learners well into their programs. The problem is they sound too similar and there's usually no memory hook offered for one to remember them by. Oh and in case you're wondering, demonstratives are words like this, that, those, these, etc. Spanish has three of them – Ese, este, and aquel. English has just two – This and that. That's another problem with Spanish demonstratives – Why three when you can make do with just two? It's like teaching a fourth dimension to non-physicists who can only comprehend three. So what's going on here?
Life After Destinos: Sol Y Viento
Through with Destinos and Extr@ Spanish and raring to step up your Spanish comprehension game? Here's something crafted just for you. It's called Sol y Viento. Sol y Viento is a Spanish learning program seamlessly guised as a feature-length movie. If you liked Destinos for its simplicity and focus on Spanish comprehension, you'll love this one all the more because of how smoothly it challenges you to upgrade your comprehension skills while at the same time doing away with the often redundant recaps and summarization, the only aspects of Destinos that made it a tad too slow to chug along with. Sol y Viento is Destinos on steroids.

TTN: Fallen Gods by Michael A. Martin Review Thread (Spoilers!)

As someone who is trying to finish his first novel, I will absolutely give credit where credit is due and congratulate the author on finishing his work. That being said, however, I will say this one was not my particular taste. It fell a little flat for me. The Andorians felt like cartoons, the plot was very by the numbers and I didn't care about the aliens. I wanted to know more about their progenitors, because they seemed actually interesting. All in all, not my favorite.
As I said before, I didn't think this was too bad when you compare it to
Seize the Fire
. I think for those of us who have read quite a few Trek novels, we've become accustomed to seeing great works from the likes of David Mack, Christopher Bennett, Kirsten Beyer, David R. George III and a few others who've contributed to the post-
novels. I'm hard pressed to find something post the Borg devastation that I've outright disliked. Only two novels come to mind that I found subpar at the time (
Seize the Fire
) and after re-reading them, I didn't think they were as bad a I previously thought. They simply didn't measure up to the others novels and if you consider
a part of a quasi-DRGIII trilogy, even that novel turns into something all together different.
Anyway, I gave the novel an above average rating, as I thought it was leaps and bounds better than his previous
work and I thoroughly enjoyed what he did with the crew (not so much with the Ta'ithians). Perhaps, if you ever get the chance to come back to the novel later down the road, you'll find a different experience. It's what I did and can appreciate it somewhat more.

Sally's Salon Luxury Ed--what worked for me
A while back I posted (on another website) the following info about what worked for me in obtaining the achievements in Sally's Salon Luxury Edition. This is by no means an attempt to challenge any other solution's guides posted on this website. Rather this is meant to be used as extra help for anyone who chooses to use this.
Sally's Salon LE
Play each new level (Sally's new shops) over & over until you have purchased every upgrade for every shop she owns. After every round you play you will have the option to upgrade that shop depending on how much money you have. Upgrades include better (more expensive) chairs at the various stations, magazines, coffee, candles, and additional employees at various stations. One "upgrade" includes buying a cat for the counter by the till but that upgrade didn't really help at all.
Once you have bought all or most upgrades you can focus on going for "Expert" and "Perfect" scores at each leg of the game. A "Perfect" is obtained when each customer leaves with 5 hearts (satisfaction) above their heads and you have processed the minimum customers (varies depending in which level, gradually increases as game progresses etc).
Some customers will start with 2-3 stars & even if you process them quickly without losing any of their stars they'll still only have 4stars at checkout. Such customers can be given coffee before they leave, for example. One cup of coffee gives 1 star boost per client.
The upgrades I found useful were: upgraded all chairs & hire all extra help. Start making coffee as soon as shop opens. On some levels if you make coffee once then it'll be refilled from then on by an employee standing there. Not all her shops have this employee so you will need keep an eye on this & refill accordingly (takes about 30 sec to refill.) if shop starts getting full give coffee to lower stars plus give magazines esp to those who have not been addressed at all.
After a set time you will notice the shop's clock in upper right of screen will show that it is closed. Anyone who is still inside can still be worked on, they can also leave if they are not being taken care of. However no new clients can enter. So the trick is to get the room as full as you can before shop closes without losing any clients due to innattention. Usually at this point is where I liked to use the blue candle as it instantly gives each client +1 heart. Some levels have 2 of each candle. In these cases I may use the 1st blue candle a little before shop closing if things start getting too busy. The brown candles can be used during these same times as they slow down customers loss of hearts.
Always keep the coffee available & use it liberally. Personally I found the cat upgrade to be useless tho some say it gives +1 heart per game at the cash register. I cannot verify this as I never saw it despite trying to activate it multiple times.
One other note about getting a perfect level is this: each round of each level has a specific minimum number of clients who must be processed such as 7, 12 or 16. Let's say a round requires 16 minimum processed clients. And say 20 clients come through the door. Say that 1 client gets upset & leaves the salon. It is still possible to get expert and perfect even if you lose a client provided you meet the minimum for completing level and minimum for expert (usu 1-2 more clients than for normal level requirements). Perfect is doing expert level with 5 stars on all completed clients.
Finally, one other important point I'd recommend when playing this game especially at the more difficult levels is changing the default settings in the Help and Options. The default setting for gameplay is "dragging" your finger to get clients from one place to the next. This simply will not work on the game's higher, more involved levels. Changing the settings to "Tap" makes the game much more fun and manageable as you progress. Changing this setting alone was the difference maker for me from my almost giving up on the game after about 40GS to my being able to 100% the game.

Nice information, but most of it is common sense. The most important thing, which is mentioned in the achievement guide already, is to try and get the most amount of people into the store before it closes, by constantly working to keep the waiting room chairs open. Most times if you just focus on this you blow the expert score away. I usually was well over $1000 above expert.
Also, the swiping really is not that in the higher levels of the game. I didnt know there was a tap feature though. That does sound like it would be way easier.
Im not sure what you were doing to almost give up at this game. I think your idea of playing levels many times until you upgrade may help some noobies, but this game is not that hard. I was able to get perfect on almost every level first try. Only had to replay a level a handful of times. To me, and as the guide states, the coffee, magazines, and candles are definitely the most important upgrades.
Thanks for the tip on the tap setting!

Sam Lutfi Details Britney Spears' Alleged Drug Addiction in Court
Sam Lutfi's bombshell accusations about Britney Spears' darkest days continue.
Testifying in an L.A. court on Tuesday, the pop superstar's ex-manager -- suing Spears, 31, and her parents for libel and breach of contract -- got into startling detail about Spears' supposed battle with drug addiction five years ago.
PHOTOS: Brit's wild life so far
"She had wanted to get clean, but she was struggling with it," Lutfi, 38, said on the stand, and claimed that he took great lengths to help her kick the habit: Bringing drug-sniffing dogs to her home, and flushing a bag of white powder down the toilet.
Lutfi claims that he was hired by the "Toxic" singer as her manager for several months in 2007 and 2008, which was a memorable low point for Spears, who suffered a very public, frequently bizarre meltdown in the aftermath of her split from Kevin Federline and an ensuing custody battle.
Lutfi told jurors he met the "Til the World Ends" singer in a nightclub.
"She wasn't working. She said that she had fired everybody," Lutfi said. "She told me that she had fired her agent. She told me that she had fired her manager, her bodyguards, her publicist, as well."
PHOTOS: Her adorable boys Sean and Jayden
He also claimed the real reason behind Spears' infamous head-shaving incident. "Britney was involved in a wicked child custody battle," he explained. "She told me someone had told her that they can scientifically test her hair for a history of drug use, so she shaved it off."
Spears offered Lutfi, a college dropout, a job as a manager soon after their meeting, he said. He eventually agreed on the condition that Spears would hire an agent and lawyer as well -- and that she would promise to quit drugs.
PHOTOS: Her romance with fiance Jason Trawick
"She agreed," Lutfi said on the stands. "We even shook hands on it." One of his first actions as her manager was to bring the drug-sniffing dogs to her home in June 2007.
He also claimed the Grammy nominee had a drug relapse in September 2007, and called him the next month after spending the night in her car. He moved into her home, but insisted to jurors that the relationship was never romantic.
Lutfi is seeking 15 percent of Spears' earnings during the period that he worked for Spears; her attorneys argue that he never worked for her in an official capacity.
He's also claiming that the singer's mom, Lynne Spears, defamed him in her memoir Through the Storm, in which she wrote that Lutfi cut her off from her family and may even have drugged her food.
For her part, Britney Spears is in a much better place these days: With several successful comeback albums and tours behind her, she is now engaged to Jason Trawick, with live episodes of The X Factor to begin Nov. 1.

"One possible punishment would be to remove Mr. Weiner from committees. Ms. McCarthy said that would be unfair to his constituents..."
His constituents are entitled to a representative (no matter how scummy); there is no right to committee seats.
This is typical of liberal politicians; they invent "rights" that never existed before.
Given the countless agenda's demanding our legislature's attention, given the huge investment of tax dollars it takes to facilitate the workings of a legislative branch, I really feel discouraged that so much cognitive and fiscal energy is being consumed as a repercussion of Mr. Weiner's choices.
My bet is that teams of reporters from the National Enquirer are hard at work as we speak, digging up more dirt on Weiner and finding teenage girls he sexted.
My guess is that Obama and Pelosi know what else is out there, and that's why they want him outta there.
See the thing that means the most to me is the blink-of-an-eye reflexive lie that he told for a week - even counseling others on how to help him cover it up.
Look at her. No wonder he was trolling.
You have to admire the courage of a guy who chose to go through junior high with a name like "Weiner".
Yet why is it that every time some Democrat gets embroiled it some scandal immediately all we here is how we don't have time and money to deal with it and we should just sweep it under a rug.
Could it be our own tolerance of weak character is the reason that all these cracks are appearing in society's foundations and fating us to be yet another banana republic?
In the end all the rules, regulations and agencies in the world are only window dressing when individuals within society are lacking in commitment to personal ethics. Lying, stealing, cheating and all the other "ings" are all the fruit of a society that has no healthy shame.
DO NOT RESIGN! Your constituents want you to stay. Nuff said!!
This guy has big problems. Acting like a little boy by sending "dirty" pictures to his "girlfriends" and now he's waiting for his wife to tell him what to do.
It's so funny how we have a double standard in America. Politicians are just as human as we are, they have a private life too. You know there are countless old men out there sending nude pictures of themselves to women (of varying ages) online, which is the least of things they do. There are also countless old men out there paying "escorts" for a good time. They have private lives and the rest of America could care less. So, why do we think our politicians will not engage in the same? What Weiner did wasn't tasteful, but he was doing what so many other men do online these days. He's a very bright politician, and we should be encouraging that. He didn't rob or rape anyone. What he does with his Weiner and whoever he talks to online (as long as not underage), matters to him and his wife, and no one else.
She might say, "If you resign, I won't".
Not only should he stay,he should be the keynote speaker at the 2012 democratic national convention!
Members of Congress (and the President) do need to be held to a higher standard than the rest of us. We have granted them enormous power, and with that must come responsibility and good judgment. If Charlie Sheen shows bad judgment, it doesn't affect me. That is between him and his family and CBS to deal with. As a consumer, if I find his behavior "insulting" I can opt not to watch his shows.
But a member of Congress is different. If they show bad judgment, they can affect everyone else's life by changing our taxes, or regulations, or sending our children to war. If that doesn't demand a higher standard, what does?
The real problem is how much power we've given Washington. If we stripped them of much of that power, their impact on us would be much less, and the need for a separate standard would be unnecessary. But if we insist on giving them "god-like" powers, it is not unreasonable that we expect "god-like" judgment.
He realizes that his career in politics is over, this wife thing is just another step in his bargaining on the way out. Sure, he can be re-elected; fools are permitted to vote their "minds." But, he isn't in politics for effectiveness; he's in politics to move up the ladder, and to make fiery speeches on the floor and on tv, to be a safe democratic drone. That part of his "career" is over. Note how many of the women were inspired to connect with him on social media because of his positions. That won't ever happen again.
The comments about his wife are off-base. She's a babe! He's a troll.
Anyone else think Weiner might be using steroids? Sure seems like 'roid rage and steroid psychosis combined...
The funniest has to be the clip of Weibner yelling at his fellow Congressman. freaking hillarious.
I saw the pics, he's definitely not "too big to fail". Seriously though, I can live with his strange hobby as long as its done from home during non-working hours. Its the lying about it that destroyed his credibility as a serious lawmaker.
ANTHONY WEINER DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE or else...... Andrew Breitbart becomes America's Most Trusted Source for News. --- As a lifelong Christian who believes in compassion and forgiveness, and as an experienced Democratic campaigner and fundraiser whose spoken to several thousand voters over the past 5 years, I believe that Rep. Weiner deserves the opportunity to seek counseling and Earn Redemption in the eyes of his family, his constituents, and his Peers. I've learned that independent voters first and foremost respect politicians who make it clear where they stand and express themselves with toughness and conviction - regardless of their views on the issues. That's why many independents vote for Republicans - who consistently talk tough and protect their own. Dem leadership sorely underestimates how valuable a rehabilitated Weiner (sorry) can be in shoring up their base and impressing populist independents.
I Don't Believe in One Strike and You're Out. Rep. Weiner deserves the same second chance and benefit of the doubt that was given to Republicans David Vitter, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, Tom DeLay whom Repubs. defended until the moment he was arrested for money laundering, pedophile Mark Foley whom Republican leadership spent 3 years covering for, and Larry Craig who served his final 18 months as a Senator with a criminal record for lewd and disorderly conduct. The media did not create anywhere near such a big distraction for Republicans over those matters. Democrats deceive themselves if they believe the media will give them credit for holding their members to a higher standard of conduct than Republicans.
Congressmen Weiner should express tremendous respect for the views of Democratic leadership but state that he deserves a second chance and that his consitituents should have the right to decide if he should still be in congress.
We've been here before and should know what a resignation will lead to. Forcing Congressmen Weiner to resign will result in an onslaught of Many More attacks on Democratic politicians from a media who will Trust Andrew Breitbart to give them reliable information and Will Believe His Every Accusation. Respectfully-expressed stubbornness from Congressmen Weiner is what is needed right now to prevent Open Season on every Democrat who makes any strong statement criticizing Republicans. Timothy 6:10 -- "....Love of Money is the Root of All Kinds of Evil"
Dean O.,
Pittsburgh, PA
The Democrats are like a herd of finiky little cats and can't figure out what to do with the creep Weiner. Are the voters getting a clear enough picture of this party? Weiner broke the house ethics rules, so he must go. The rules are clear, google it I'm not going to copy/paste it here. Now the whole party is waiting for Weiner's wife? I love it. Meanwhile, Weiner keeps splattering his excrement all over the Democrat party, good job pal.
He needs to go. Kudos to the Democrat leadership. Actually showing some moral leadership. Who would have thought?
No second chances for this lying J3RK. And Dean, forget your false sense of compassion - you can keep it. Forgiveness doesn't require that constituents and the people of this country become doormats. We must forgive, but that shouldn't result in him keeping his office. There are ethical standards that this Representative must uphold; he failed in his responsibility and therefore the buck stops here. Weiner is a gonner. This is not a case of accidential misjudgement. We have evidence of a habitual pattern. His intention was to decieve people and this should not be tolerated. He committed a sin and and because of his congressional oath, that sin is now elevated to a crime.
This is more about Congress' ability to raise its standards than our waxed, pinup page-boy Congressman. I think employment-at-will should be extended to all public officials. But looking at the comments below, I would say we have worse problems in the U.S. than porny tweets. What about ignorance, and the repetitive conflation of "sin" and crime among Republicans and typical WSJ editorial page fans?
Personally, I think the guy should be allowed to finish out the remainder of his term. The great thing about the house is that they are reelected every two years, so if he comes out now and says something along the lines of he will not step down because that would deny his district representation, but will not run again for office that would let everyone save face and give those who want to run plenty of time to do so.
I'm a progressive and I say Weiner's a distraction. Give him a choice: resign or you are abandoned. You're privileged, educated, got money, got prestige, live a good life, and you blew it by acting like a juvenile.
After Weiner signs out then just oerhaps the Dems will consider similiar requests for: Dear Charlie Rangel then Dear Maxine Waters, the Dear Barney Franks, then Dear Alcee Hastings....then, well you know better than I.

Configuring Information Rights Management
Updated: August 28, 2008
Applies To: Office SharePoint Server 2007
Updated: 2008-08-28
Information Rights Management (IRM) enables you to limit the actions that users can take on files that have been downloaded from Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 lists or libraries. IRM encrypts the downloaded files and limits the set of users and programs that are allowed to decrypt these files. IRM can also limit the rights of the users who are allowed to read files so that they cannot take actions such as print copies of the files or copy text from them.
You can use IRM on lists or libraries to restrict the dissemination of sensitive content. For example, if you are creating a document library to share information about upcoming products with selected marketing representatives, IRM can prevent these individuals from sharing this content with others. For more information, see Applying Information Rights Management to a list or library (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=124788) on Office Online.
Before using IRM, you must have a Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) server to connect to and you must have installed the Windows Rights Management Services Client with Service Pack 2 on every Web front-end in the Office SharePoint Server 2007 farm. For more information, see Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services Client with Service Pack 2 - x86 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=82927), RMS FAQ (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=230459), and Deploying Windows Rights Management Services with Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 Step-by-Step Guide (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=76879&clcid=0x409).

The big reason Gene Roddenberry's cashless society is so hard to fathom for a lot of people is, to me, partially the fact so few people actually get to do what they want in RL. The American dream is mostly the dream of getting by.
They're swamped with debt, bills, questions about how they're going to pay for medicine or education or their house. You have to run as fast as you can in the world to stay in place. It's hard to really wrap your head around having security if you've never had it.
I have a different perspective on this since I was, at one point, actually rich. I'm not now (thanks economy), but it's interesting note that my family members who grew up with security still worked. None of us were Paris Hilton rich but we all took jobs, essentially to make sure we just weren't living off the family. I did dishes until I finished paying for my college and later ran my own business.
I think the most utopian aspect of Roddenberry's vision isn't that everyone would be in the holodeck 24/7 (which might be the case for some) but that everyone can relax about where their next meal is coming from enough that they can enjoy themselves as well as reaching self-actualization. Study to be an engineer, scientist, or whatever.
Which actually makes sense of Picard's craziness to an extent.
Thats all well and good but who is going to work in waste extraction if they dont get paid cause no one is going to work there for free just to better themselfs

Why $5.25 though?? I have no idea....this thing want's to do a retest of lows and considering the low established was brand new and fresh there is no floor under the stock so it is highly likely the market will want to head there.
I said many times "Have fun" playing with the big boys, they smelled liquidity and the retailers are only along for the ride.
This has played out for many years with many stocks, not worth trying to play the swings, too risky, not a winning game.

Joaquin Phoenix is back to his old self!
After taking three years off from Hollywood to supposedly pursue a rap career—a hiatus that turned out to be an elaborate Andy Kaufman-style stunt for Casey Affleck's mockumentary, I'm Still Here—the Walk the Line star was spotted back on a movie set. And it's worth noting, without the wild beard he was sporting for his hip-hop alter ego.
So what was Joaquin up to?
MORE: Surprise, David Letterman! Joaquin Phoenix's Meltdown Was a Crock
Phoenix was on location in New York City last Friday shooting scenes for director James Gray's untitled new drama with Oscar winner Marion Cotillard.
Little is known about the story, but the flick is supposedly a period piece following an innocent Polish immigrant (Cotillard) who's tricked by a charismatic stranger (Phoenix) into a brutal life in the burlesque and vaudeville circuit only to be saved by a magician (Jeremy Renner) who tries to reunite her with her sister being held on Ellis Island.
Oddly enough, the last movie the 37-year-old actor starred in before his "retirement" from the big screen was Gray's little-seen Two Lovers with Gwyneth Paltrow, the publicity for which was overshadowed by Phoenix's antics.
Guess Joaquin owed him one.
This isn't the only film Phoenix has in the pipeline. The actor also recently wrapped The Master, the top-secret drama riffing on the secretive world of Scientology from There Will Be Blood helmer Paul Thomas Anderson.

Nulka Radar Decoy System
Nulka is an active, off-board, ship-launched decoy developed in cooperation with Australia to counter a wide spectrum of present and future radar-guided anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs). The Nulka decoy employs a broadband radio frequency repeater mounted atop a hovering rocket platform. After launch, the Nulka decoy radiates a large, ship-like radar cross-section while flying a trajectory that seduces and decoys incoming ASCMs away from their intended targets. Australia developed the hovering rocket, launcher, and launcher interface unit. The U.S. Navy developed the electronic payload and fire control system.
In August 2010 Lockheed Martin has conducted the first vertical launch test of a new Nulka offboard countermeasure, fired form an Extensible Launching System (ExLS) for the first time. The launcher used for the test was a fully tactical configuration ExLS. ExLS is designed for interoperability with Mk 41 and Mk 57 Vertical Launch Systems. Each ExLS launcher can store and deploy four Nulka decoys.

The Flyers finished their prospects' camp Thursday in a different manner -- with the players going grocery shopping together at a Voorhees Acme. They then attended a cooking class in South Philly.
"Every year, I try to bring something different," said Ian Laperriere, the Flyers' director of player personnel.
Besides five days of on and off-ice drills and the cooking class, the players attended a sex-education class and received tips on being smart when posting things on the Internet.
A local chef talked to the players about the importance of nutrition and how it affects them.

Article: 1H NMR-Based Lipidomics of Rodent Fur: Species-Specific Lipid Profiles and SCD1 Inhibitor-Related Dermal Toxicity.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A method is described that allows non-invasive identification and quantitative assessment of lipid classes present in sebaceous excretions in rodents. The method relies on direct high-field proton NMR analysis of common group lipid protons in deuterated organic solvent extracts of fur. Extracts from as little as 15 mg of fur from rat, mouse and hamster provided acceptable results on a 600 MHz NMR equipped with a cryogenically cooled proton-observe probe. In rats, sex and age-related differences in lipid composition are larger than differences in fur collected from various body regions within an individual and much larger than inter-animal differences in age and sex-matched specimens. The utility of this method to non-invasively monitor drug-induced sebaceous gland atrophy in rodents is demonstrated in rats dosed with a steroyl coenzyme A desaturase (SCD1) inhibitor. In this model, a 35% reduction in sebum lipids, extracted from fur, was observed. Finally, structural elucidation of cholesta-7,24-dien-3β-ol ester as the most prominent, previously unidentified sebum sterol ester in hamster is described. The utility of this method for drug and cosmetic safety and efficacy assessment is discussed.The Journal of Lipid Research 04/2014; 55(7). DOI:10.1194/jlr.M049155 · 4.42 Impact Factor
Article: Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Changes Induced by Overnight (16 h) Fasting in Male and Female Sprague-Dawley Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The overnight (16-h) fast is one of the most common experimental manipulations performed in rodent studies. Despite its ubiquitous employment, a comprehensive evaluation of metabolomic and transcriptomic sequelae of fasting in conjunction with routine clinical pathology evaluation has not been undertaken. This study assessed the impact of a 16-h fast on urine and serum metabolic profiles, transcript profiles of liver, psoas muscle, and jejunum as well as on routine laboratory clinical pathology parameters. Fasting rats had an approximate 12% relative weight decrease compared to ad libitum fed animals, and urine volume was significantly increased. Fasting had no effect on hematology parameters, though several changes were evident in serum and urine clinical chemistry data. In general, metabolic changes in biofluids were modest in magnitude but broad in extent, with a majority of measured urinary metabolites and from 1/3 to 1/2 of monitored serum metabolites significantly affected. Increases in fatty acids and bile acids dominated the upregulated metabolites. Downregulated serum metabolites were dominated by diet-derived and/or gut-microflora derived metabolites. Major transcriptional changes included genes with roles in fatty acid, carbohydrate, cholesterol, and bile acid metabolism indicating decreased activity in glycolytic pathways and a shift toward increased utilization of fatty acids. Typically, several genes within these metabolic pathways, including key rate limiting genes, changed simultaneously, and those changes were frequently correlative to changes in clinical pathology parameters or metabolomic data. Importantly, up- or down-regulation of a variety of cytochrome P450s, transporters, and transferases was evident. Taken together, these data indicate profound consequences of fasting on systemic biochemistry and raise the potential for unanticipated interactions, particularly when metabolomic or transcriptomic data are primary end points.Chemical Research in Toxicology 03/2011; 24(4):481-7.
