Hulk Reviews
"Unleash the fury!"
Hulk is a movie that is hard to really say whether I liked it or not. I had fun watching Hulk run around, being chased by military helicopters and smashing everything in his path, but at the same time I was so annoyed by the style of the film. It's obvious what Ang Lee was going for and I can admire his intentions, but the final product is just an example of why directors shouldn't try to make a movie look exactly like a comic book.
The editing of Hulk is way over the top. They go for a comic book feel and they achieve it, but for a two hour run time; it is just too much. They do the multi boxed screen and do slick and quick transitions between shots. Sometimes there will be five boxes on the screen that do a quick transition to five more boxes on the screen. I get it, you can do some neat tricks. Now stop.
That wasn't the only part of the movie that went way over the top in order to achieve a comic book feel. The acting was also completely over the top. The actors were trying to do those expressions that you see in a comic book when someone sees a monster or something crazy. They try to do that eyes wide open, mouth wide open look of fear and it just doesn't work. Those over done expressions just increased how much I was annoyed by this.
The film does have some things going for it though. First off it has Jennifer Connelly and nothing with her name attached to it, is completely worthless. Also the movie has some cool action sequences and awesome effects. It is also extremely ambitious. But through Lee's ambitions comes a lot of the annoying things that plague the movie.
I wouldn't say that this movie is as bad as some say it is, but it isn't a spectacular superhero movie. I'm somewhere in the middle on this movie. I don't like it, I don't hate it. Maybe I'll watch it again at some point and I'll have a different reaction to it.

The Beaches of Newport, Newport
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
Newport has many beaches, but one of the best has to be this one located on Memorial Boulevard. This beach which is also known as First Beach has some fantastic views of the beautiful Cliff Walk. There is a carousel, playground, and an aquarium which makes this beach a perfect place for families with children. There is also a concession stand and some beach houses nearby.
Parking is available with many restaurants within walking distance of the beach.
There are several beaches to choose from in Newport. You should definately drive Ocean Drive which takes you along the edge of the perimeter of the peninsula past park areas, rocky places to fish off the rocks, places to fly a kite.... or just plain enjoy the views. It will loop you right around to the business center of the city again. There is Easton's Beach where we just sat and enjoyed the views cause it was March... and only a few brave souls were out walking their dogs. Summertime would be the time to explore Gooseberry Beach, or...if you are invited....Bailey's Beach and Hazard's Beach. There are tons of beaches in Rhode Island. You'll find that some have surf, some very calm, some rocky, some with dunes. Because of the very irregular coastline, the waterfront can be extremely different at each turn. Have fun and enjoy them all!
How could I forget? You could do the CLIFF WALK which is a walkway that starts on Memorial Blvd just about 3 or 4 blocks beyond Bellevue Avenue... and ends over near Bailey's Beach. You'll be passing in front of some of the mansions...some of it is rough terrain. Check in with Newport Information Center for full info. on length and map location...or...
If you're in Newport, you have to hit up the beaches. They have the quintessential New England charm with sand dunes, rocky cliffs, and soft sand. I recommend 2nd beach which is actually in Middletown. From second beach you will have a perfect view of St. George's Cathedral tower and the cliff of Purgatory Chasm. Third beach is also an option which is a little further down the road on the bay side. Third beach is basically a salt water lake--no waves and the swimming area is roped in (which is nice if you have kids). Beware, at all the beaches there is a hefty parking fee, (something like $15 to $20) but in my opinion well worth a fun filled day.
Since Newport is on an island, there is bound to be some shoreline and there are in fact several beaches both public and private in town. Each town has it's own beaches, for which you need a permit or a ticket to park during the summer. Winter is a season investigate them all since you can park and go where you like without the crowds. Look at a map for clues.

Hit The Nail Right On The Point YKTTW Discussion
|Hit The Nail Right On The Point
When a common misconception is so wrong the opposite is closer to the truth
Let's say that a battle once took place between two tribes, the Alphanards and the Betagauts. In popular culture, this battle is often portrayed with the Alphanards as the heroes, triumphing over the Betagauts with the power of teamwork and courage. Except that in reality, it was the Alphanards vs A Betagaut, singular. Because the Betagauts were a tribe so ravaged by debilitating illness that only one man was fit to fight. Furthermore, the Alphanards were actually being A Bit Dickish, taking the opportunity to pillage and murder with impunity. This singular Betagaut was having no more of this, and so he went up against the entire Alphanard tribe's war forces alone to take a stand for his people. Which brings us to the final error with the popular depiction of the battle: The lone Betagaut won. So... just how wrong is this misconception? Well it's not just wrong. It's so wrong the opposite is much MUCH closer to the truth. Which means that the people who hold this misconception have Hit The Nail Right On The Point. They've pretty much concluded the exact opposite of the truth. Note: When adding real life examples, make sure that: 1: The misconception was stated confidently by a notable figure. 2: The facts against this misconception are demonstrable, and not a matter of belief or opinion. Otherwise we'll get into a huge edit war every five minutes.

EA Realigns Management Team
Electronic Arts (EA) announced a series of executive changes as the company prepares for the next generation of growth. Effective immediately, Paul Lee will serve as president of EA Worldwide Studios, replacing Don Mattrick, who has chosen to seek other opportunities after 23 years of leadership at EA and Distinctive Software (acquired by EA in 1991). David Gardner will now serve as coo of EA Worldwide Studios.
Leading EA's publishing organization will be Gerhard Florin, evp of International Publishing, and Frank Gibeau, evp of North American Publishing.
"These promotions of Paul, Gerhard, David and Frank reflect the enormous amount of talent and depth within our organization," said EA chairman/ceo Larry Probst. "Each of these executives has served many years in our company, developing their leadership skills and proving themselves with increasing levels of responsibility. I believe this is the strongest and most capable executive team in our industry."
Lee joined EA in 1991 with the acquisition of Distinctive Software and has held several leadership positions within the studios, most recently as evp and Studio coo. He has led EA through numerous technology transitions and the development of many successful intellectual properties.
Gardner, formerly svp of EA International Publishing, will support Lee. In addition, the 23-year veteran at EA will have oversight of EA Partners and EA Wireless.
Florin, formerly svp/gm of European Publishing, will expand his portfolio to include oversight of EA Asia. Jon Niermann, svp/gm of EA Asia, will report to Florin.
Gibeau, formerly svp of North American Marketing, who has been responsible for numerous innovative and award-winning marketing campaigns, will now be responsible for all aspects of the North American Publishing division.
Meanwhile, Nancy Smith, former evp/gm of North American Publishing, and EA veteran of 21 years, will take on a new role as evp and general manager of The Sims franchise. The added organization and executive focus on this most significant intellectual property will extend the power of this global franchise.
EA also promoted Glenn Entis to svp, chief visual and technical officer, reporting to Lee. As both the founder of PDI and the head of DreamWorks Interactive when EA acquired them in 2000, Entis is poised to lead EA's visual and technical teams into the next generation.
"These promotions and changes also mark the end of an era for EA," added Probst. "Both Don and Bruce have made enormous contributions to our company, our industry and to people all over the world who love games. We look forward to working with them again in the future."
"As both an independent developer and as an executive at EA, I've had terrific experiences in interactive entertainment," said Mattrick. "Today, EA is making great progress in developing games for the next generation of console technology and the company has an incredible bench of executive leaders. This is an ideal time for me to evaluate the next set of challenges in my career. I wish everyone at EA enormous success and hope that I'll be working with them again soon."
EA (www.ea.com), headquartered in Redwood City, California, develops, publishes and distributes interactive software worldwide for videogame systems, personal computers and the Internet. Electronic Arts markets its products under four brand names: EA SPORTS, EA, EA SPORTS BIG and POGO. In fiscal 2005, EA posted revenues of $3.1 billion and had 31 titles that sold more than one million copies.

Payment options for high-interest debt
A debt management plan can help, but is it your only choice?
By Erica Sandberg
Opening Credits
Dear Opening Credits,
I owe $2,000 on my Home Depot card. I contacted them due to financial hardship. The interest rate is over 26 percent. I asked if they would close my account and lower the interest rate so I could have a plan to pay it off. I don't have any late payments. They said they don't deal with individuals -- that I have to use a consumer counseling agency. They charge $50 a month. Do I have any options? -- Wells
Sometimes a credit counseling agency's debt management plan (DMP) is the right move; other times it isn't. Before discounting it, though, book an appointment at a reputable credit counseling agency (affiliated with either the National Foundation for Credit Counseling or the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies) and find out. The sessions are free and can be quite illuminating. In an hour or so, the counselor will review your financial situation in detail and propose several reasonable ways in which you can resolve your problems.
One of the options the counselor may present is that debt management plan. These arrangements allow you to make payments to the agency, which they then disburse to the accounts on the plan. Many of the participating creditors lower their interest rates only for people on the plan -- but not, as you found out, for cardholders directly. While it's true that the agencies add a monthly administration fee (and some even charge to set it up as well), in certain hardship cases, those fees may be waived.
Speaking of interest rates, I gather your main concern is the one on that Home Depot card. Understandably so; it's high. To find out what the annual percentage rate (APR) one of these organizations can offer you instead, I put a call in to my old haunt, Consumer Credit Counseling Service of San Francisco. Rate reductions are negotiated on a national scale, so they should be the same no matter which office you go through. And what did I find? That they may be able to get it down to 9.9 percent -- less than half of what you're currently being charged.
However, I'm not convinced that a DMP is best for you, even with a slashed interest rate. If this is your only liability and your situation is temporary, I'd say that it probably isn't. You see, while you're on the plan, you'd have to close the account. It sounds like you're open to that, but if it's one you've had for years and have a decent payment history with, doing so could lower your credit score. This is not to say that preserving a score trumps money saved, but it is a consideration.
Also, your debt is pretty low. I know that the $2,000 balance feels overwhelming, but if you break it down to affordable fixed payments (which is what you'd have to do on a credit counseling agencies plan anyway), you may find that you'll be in the black faster than you think. For example, if you can manage $135 every month, you'll be debt-free in a year and a half. Plug the numbers into a good online calculator and see what's manageable.
In the mean time, you may still be able to get that interest rate down, enabling the maximum amount of your payment to go toward the principal. If you have a credit card with a lower APR and plenty of charging room (if the new balance would get you close to the limit, forget it), a balance transfer is worth exploring. You'll have to pay a transfer fee, but it still could work to your financial advantage. Again, you can do the math using an online calculator.
What else can you do? Take stock of what you own, and if you have anything you can part with, sell it and apply the proceeds to the balance. The less you owe, the less you'll pay in interest -- no matter what rate the creditor is assessing.

Article: Early corticosteroid treatment in 4 Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients: 14-year follow-up[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Corticosteroid treatment is the standard of care in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but the optimal age to initiate treatment and dosage pattern remain a matter of discussion. We performed a long-term study of alternate-day corticosteroids in five 2- to 4-year-old DMD patients. The primary outcome measure was prolongation of the ability to walk. One patient lost ambulation at age 10. Four patients, aged 16 to 18 were fully ambulant, and 3 of them could still climb stairs. Respiratory function was moderately reduced in 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction was > 45%. Short stature and delayed puberty were the most relevant side effects. Although the negative impact of corticosteroid treatment on growth rate remained their major concern, parents and patients stated that they preferred corticosteroid therapy. Long-term corticosteroid treatment is effective in prolonging function but not in recovering lost function, and its early use seems appropriate.
Article: Insulin resistance is a risk factor for high blood pressure regardless of body size and fat distribution in obese children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The prevalence of children with hypertension is increasing, especially in obese children. This study was to assess the relationship between blood pressure, indexes of adiposity, body fat distribution and insulin resistance. Sample: 1044 children (M/F: 484/560; aged 6-11 years). Anthropometry and blood pressure were measured and fasting blood samples were tested for triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, glucose, insulin and ALT. The prevalence of high blood pressure in overweight males and females was 14.3 and 6.4%, respectively (chi(2)=16.73, p<0.001) and in obese it was 40.4 and 32.8%, respectively (chi(2)=5.56, p<0.001). High blood pressure increased progressively with BMI z-score categories (chi(2)=67.99, p<0.001) as well as with waist/height ratio (W/Hr) categories (chi(2)=23.51, p<0.001). Hypertensive subject had significantly higher insulin (15.6+/-9.8 vs 11.9+/-7.2, p<0.001 and 20.63+/-14.7 vs 15.26+/-9.8, p<0.001 in males and females respectively) and HOMA(IR) (3.23+/-2.1 vs 2.42+/-1.49, p<0.001 and 4.12+/-2.87 vs 3.07+/-1.98, p<0.001 in males and in females, respectively) than non-hypertensive ones. Among metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors, HOMA(IR) was the only variable able to predict high blood pressure in obese boys and girls, in addition to BMI or body fat distribution (waist, W/Hr). The highest HOMA(IR) category was the most important predicting factor of high blood pressure in overweight and obese children in addition to body size or body fat distribution. Blood pressure is associated with the degree of overweight and the indices of body fat distribution. Insulin resistance is an independent additional risk factor for hypertension.
Article: Characterization of deletions at 9p affecting the candidate regions for sex reversal and deletion 9p syndrome by MLPA Sweden[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The distal region on the short arm of chromosome 9 is of special interest for scientists interested in sex development as well as in the clinical phenotype of patients with the 9p deletion syndrome, characterized by mental retardation, trigonocephaly and other dysmorphic features. Specific genes responsible for different aspects of the phenotype have not been identified. Distal 9p deletions have also been reported in patients with 46,XY sex reversal, with or without 9p deletion syndrome. Within this region the strongest candidates for the gonadal dysgenesis phenotype are the DMRT genes; however, the genetic mechanism is not clear yet. Multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification represents a useful technique to evaluate submicroscopic interstitial or distal deletions that would help the definition of the minimal sex reversal region on 9p and could lead to the identification of gene(s) responsible of the 46,XY gonadal disorders of sex development (DSD). We designed a synthetic probe set that targets genes within the 9p23-9p24.3 region and analyzed a group of XY patients with impaired gonadal development. We characterized a deletion distal to the DMRT genes in a patient with isolated 46,XY gonadal DSD and narrowed down the breakpoint in a patient with a 46,XY del(9)(p23) karyotype with gonadal DSD and mild symptoms of 9p deletion syndrome. The results are compared with other patients described in the literature, and new aspects of sex reversal and the 9p deletion syndrome candidate regions are discussed.

Presentation lasted from pregnancy (pre-natal diagnosis of a 46,XY fetus with female external genitalia) to infancy (inguinal hernia containing testes/clitoromegaly) and adolescence (virilisation). All subjects but one (subject 1, Central-Northern Italy) were from small areas of Southern Italy. Endocrine data (baseline and/or stimulated testosterone/ Delta4-androstenedione ratio) were informative. Two girls were homozygous for 17beta-HSD3 gene mutations (G289S/G289S; R80W/R80W), while the others were compound heterozygous (IVS325+4 A>T/A203V; L212Q/M235V; R80W/A235E). Four patients were confirmed as females and were well-adjusted with assigned sex; gender identity disorder improved during treatment with GnRH analog in the last subject. 17betaHSD3 deficiency may present from pregnancy to puberty for different clinical issues. Albeit testosterone/Delta4-androstenedione ratio represents the most accurate endocrine marker to diagnose the disorder, hCGstimulation is mandatory in pre-puberty. Molecular analysis of 17beta-HSD3 gene should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Temporary GnRH analog treatment may regress gender identity disorder and provide time to confirm or change the birth sex assignment. Female individuals seems to be compliant with their sex, providing that virilisation does not occur. In Italy, the disorder seems to be more prevalent in the Southern regions and shows genetic heterogeneity.
Article: Three Novel AMHGene Mutations in a Patient with Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome and Normal AMH Serum Dosage[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Persistentmullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is characterized by the presence of uterus, fallopian tubes and the upper part of the vagina in 46,XY patients with perfectly virilized external genitalia. It is mostly caused by mutations of the AMH or AMH type 2 receptor (AMHR2) gene. The AMH serum level is very often low or undetectable in the AMH gene defect and normal in the AMHR2 gene defect. We investigate an Italian patient, genotypically and phenotypically male, observed at 1 month of age for a right inguinal hernia that at surgery showed the presence of both testes in the same hernial sac and uterus and fallopian tubes in the abdomen. Genetic tests first showed the absence of the common 27-bp deletion in the AMHR2 gene, then the presence of three new sequence variations in the AMH geneleading to the following variants: the p.A405P carried by the paternal allele; the p.G326V plus the p.V508A carried by the maternal allele. The determination of serum AMH, performed after the genetic analysis, showed a normal level for age, suggesting that these mutations may affect the function and the bioactivity of the hormone and not the secretion rate.
Article: A novel PRKAR1A mutation associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in a young patient and a variable Carney complex phenotype in affected subjects in older generations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Carney complex (CNC) is an autosomal dominant multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (OMIM 160980). About 70% of cases are familiar; most have mutations of the PRKAR1A gene on chromosome 17q22-24. There is little phenotype-genotype correlation known to date. To study the genotype-phenotype correlation in a family with newly diagnosed CNC and three generations of subjects bearing the same PRKAR1A mutation. The proband was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma, a tumour that appears to be associated with CNC. The study consisted of clinical and genetic analysis of a total of 10 individuals belonging to a large Italian family. The index case was referred for PRKAR1A gene mutation analysis because he met the diagnostic criteria for a clinical diagnosis of CNC. The PRKAR1A-inactivating mutation c.502 +1G > A in the intron 5 splice-donor site was detected after bidirectional sequencing of germline DNA. The mutation causes a frameshift in the transcribed sequence and a nonsense mRNA that was shown to be degraded; this leads to PRKAR1A haploinsufficiency in all tissues. All available relatives were screened first by DNA testing and, if the latter was positive, by clinical, biochemical and imaging means. A novel PRKAR1A mutation with an apparently low penetrance and variable expression is reported; the same mutation is also associated with a hepatocellular carcinoma. This is the first time a PRKAR1A mutation is reported in individuals who were diagnosed with CNC after retrospective family screening and following the identification of a proband; the finding has implications for genetic counselling on PRKAR1A and/or CNC.

ABSTRACT: This study of the presence of alexithymic characteristics in obese adolescents and preadolescents tested the hypothesis of whether they showed impaired recognition and expression of emotion. The sample included 30 obese young participants and a control group of 30 participants of normal weight for their ages. Stimuli, 42 faces representing seven emotional expressions, were shown to participants who identified the emotion expressed in the face. The Level of Emotional Awareness Scale was adapted for children to evaluate their ability to describe their emotions. Young obese participants had significantly lower scores than control participants, but no differences were found in recognition of emotion. The lack of words to describe emotions might suggest a greater prevalence of alexithymic characteristics in the obese participants, but the hypothesis of a general deficit in the processing of emotional experiences was not supported.

Article: Functional characterization of naturally occurring NR3C2 gene mutations in Italian patients suffering from pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The renal form of pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the human mineralocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C2). Aim of the study was to analyze the NR3C2 gene in three Italian patients with clinical signs of renal PHA1 and to evaluate the distribution of the -2G > C, c.538A > G, and c.722C > T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) pattern in the PHA1 patients and in 90 controls of the same ethnic origin. Analysis of the NR3C2 gene sequence and of the polymorphic SNP markers. Functional characterization of the detected novel NR3C2 mutations utilizing aldosterone-binding assays and reporter gene transactivation assays. One novel nonsense (Y134X) and one novel frameshift (2125delA) mutation were detected. They exhibited no aldosterone binding and no transactivation abilities. No mutation was detected in the third patient. Haploinsufficiency of NR3C2 was ruled out by microsatellite analysis in this patient. The c.722T SNP was detected in 97% of alleles in the Italian population which is significantly different from the general German or US population. Molecular analysis of the NR3C2 gene in PHA1 patients is warranted to detect novel mutations in order to clarify the underlying genetic cause, which may extend the insight into relevant functional regions of the hMR protein. The effect the different distribution of the c.722T SNP is not clear to date. Further studies are necessary to provide evidence as to a possible advantage of a less sensitive hMR in southern countries.
Article: Effect on Adult Height of Pubertal Growth Hormone Retesting and Withdrawal of Therapy in Patients with Previously Diagnosed Growth Hormone Deficiency[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: GH replacement therapy in GH-deficient (GHD) patients is usually continued until adult height despite the fact that most of these subjects display a normal secretion when retested at the end of growth. Puberty is the most likely time for normalization of GH secretion. The objectives of this study are to establish the characteristics and the percentage of the subjects with isolated GHD who normalized secretion at puberty and to compare their statural outcomes with those of the subjects with persistent deficiency treated also after retesting. This was a prospective, nonrandomized, open-label study conducted in a university research hospital. Sixty-nine subjects (40 male, 29 female) with a diagnosis before puberty of isolated GHD by means of arginine and l-dopa tests were reevaluated with the same tests after at least 2 yr of therapy and after puberty onset. If GH peak at retesting was more than 10 microg/liter, therapy was withdrawn. Percentage and characteristics of normalized subjects at retesting, outcome of treatment in the subjects treated or untreated to adult height, and factors predictive of growth outcome were measured. At retesting, 44 subjects (63.7%) confirmed a GH peak less than 10 microg/liter (24 of 40 male and 20 of 29 female). Apart from a less delayed bone age at diagnosis in females, the subjects with confirmed GHD were not different at diagnosis from the other group for height deficit at diagnosis, first year growth response to GH, age and height at puberty onset, height, and IGF-I at retesting. Mean adult height was 165.1 +/- 4.5 cm in the male group treated until adult height vs. 164.0 +/- 3.4 cm in the group who suspended therapy at retesting. Mean adult height was 153.2 +/- 4.1 cm in the female group treated until adult height vs. 152.9 +/- 5.2 cm in the group that suspended therapy at retesting. As regards the parameters expressing the final outcome, the only difference was found in the mean increment adult height-target height sd score in favor of the male group treated until adult height. In both sexes, therapy duration and GH levels at diagnosis and at retesting were unrelated to adult height parameters and to height increments during the period of observation. One third of our GHD subjects diagnosed before puberty presented a normal secretion at puberty. The withdrawal of GH therapy in these subjects after retesting was not associated with a catch down growth, and they obtained an adult height similar to those obtained by the GHD subjects treated until adult height. It seems convenient, in subjects with nonsevere GHD, to retest GH secretion at midpuberty and to withdraw treatment for the subjects that are no longer deficient.
Article: Cassio A, Bal MO, Orsini LF, et al. Reproductive outcome in patients treated and not treated for idiopathic early puberty: long-term results of a randomized trial in adults[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the adult reproductive outcome in girls with early puberty who participated in a previous random study. A total of 22 subjects treated with triptorelin 3.75 mg every 4 weeks (group 1), 18 subjects not treated (group 2), and 22 age-matched normal volunteers (control group) underwent a physical examination, serum hormone level determination, and pelvic ultrasonography. The characteristics of menstrual cycles, serum hormone levels, and ultrasound results did not differ significantly among the 3 groups examined. The mean ovarian volume and the uterine volume tended to increase in the subjects of group 2, but the differences were not significant. The percentage of subjects who reported being sexually active at the time of the examination was greater in the 2 groups with previous early puberty than in the controls (76% of cases in group 1, 72% in group 2, and 59% in the control group). Neither early puberty nor its treatment seems to significantly affect the normal adult function of the pituitary-gonadal axis.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) gene are the cause of isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). We describe the molecular investigations of the GnRHR gene in two siblings affected by HH and their clinical course. The female was referred at age 14 for pubertal delay with no secondary sexual signs, whereas the male had been followed since prepuberty. Hormonal evaluation showed very low levels of gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone test (LHRH test) and sexual steroids in both patients, suggesting a possible defect in the mechanism of action of the GnRH gene on its receptor. The GnRHR gene of the two siblings and their parents were analyzed by PCR followed by direct sequencing. Two new single nucleotide substitutions resulting in the T104I and the Y108C substitutions in the first extracellular loop (ECL1) were identified in both siblings. The molecular analysis confirmed the carrier status of the parents. We identified two new missense mutations in the GnRHR gene in two siblings with HH. The nature of the substitutions lying in the ECL1 involved in the ligand-receptor interaction, as well as the high conservation of the two residues in all mammalian GnRHR, are suggestive of some implications in the phenotype observed.
Article: An Assessment of Petrosal Sinus Sampling for Localization of Pituitary Microadenomas in Children with Cushing Disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pituitary adenomas in Cushing disease (CD) are usually small and difficult to visualize. Bilateral inferior petrosal venous sampling (BIPSS) before and after ovine CRH stimulation is reserved for patients who have ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome and negative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positive MRI but inconsistent biochemical data. The objective of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of BIPSS as a tool for localization of a pituitary adenoma in children with CD. The study was a retrospective review of the records of 141 children who were admitted for evaluation of CD from 1982 to 2004. The study was conducted at a tertiary care center. Lateralization of ACTH secretion during BIPSS was compared with MRI and surgical findings for the localization of a microadenoma. A total of 94 patients, 49 males and 45 females with an age range of 5.3 to 18.7 yr (13 +/- 3.2 yr), underwent BIPSS. Localization of a microadenoma by BIPSS agreed with surgical location in only 58% of the cases (95% confidence interval, 43-66). The combined use of information from the MRI and inferior petrosal venous sampling did not predict the location of the tumor more frequently than MRI alone (P > 0.1), which in this study localized a lesion in 39% of the patients (95% confidence interval, 28-50). The procedure was completed successfully in all patients, and no serious complications were recorded. Although BIPSS was safe and well tolerated in an experienced center, lateralization of the ACTH gradient during BIPSS was a poor predictor of the site of the adenoma in children with CD.

ABSTRACT: The differential diagnosis of male under-masculinization, including a wide spectrum of phenotypes and a heterogeneous genetic basis, is crucial for the correct management of the patients. To characterize an Italian population of under-masculinized males, we performed the molecular analysis of the SRD5A2 gene (2p23), encoding the 5alpha-reductase-2 enzyme that converts testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and is required for full masculinization of the male foetus. Twenty-six Italian patients with 46,XY kariotype and various degrees of ambiguous genitalia were retrospectively selected for this study. Twelve of these patients, 10 of whom were referred for partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS), were raised as females; 15 were raised as males and all had a severe hypospadias. For most of the patients, the case histories and hormonal findings were incomplete but all could be included in the clinical characteristics of under-masculinization. For hormonal evaluation, T and DHT were measured by means of radioimmunoassay (RIA) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-RIA methods, respectively. Genomic DNA of all patients and relatives was extracted from peripheral blood, the five exons of the SRD5A2 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and submitted to automatic sequencing. Five known mutations affecting the NADPH binding function and one new mutation affecting the enzyme C-terminus were identified in a total of eight patients (two of whom were sisters). Five families were characterized, and in two patients only one affected allele was observed. The extension of the analysis to the regions flanking exons allowed the identification of a new polymorphism in intron 2, whose frequency was determined. This first report of an Italian population underlines the importance of differential diagnoses in patients with under-masculinization. The lack of precise genotype-phenotype correlation in some of the mutations highlights the necessity to improve knowledge about the biochemical aspects of steroid 5alpha-reductase action and about the interactions of genetic and environmental factors.

ABSTRACT: Ghrelin is a peptide with a potent capacity to release GH and other metabolic activities. An acyl modification is indispensable for biological activity. Acylated and desacylated forms of ghrelin are both present in the blood. No data exist about the ratio between active ghrelin and total ghrelin in the first period of life. To investigate whether ghrelin may be involved in physiological roles during fetal life. Ghrelin, growth hormone (GH), and leptin concentrations were measured in cord plasma in 98 newborns of healthy mothers. Acyl-ghrelin and the sum of acylated and desacylated forms of ghrelin (total ghrelin) were measured using specific radioimmunoassays. Acylated ghrelin and total ghrelin did not correlate with birth weight, gestational age, body mass index, head circumference, birth length, leptin or GH in plasma cord blood. The absence of clinically significant correlations between both active and total ghrelin and GH, leptin or anthropometric data does not enable us to ascribe a precise role to ghrelin in prenatal life.
Article: CYP21 Genotype, Adult Height, and Pubertal Development in 55 Patients Treated for 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a retrospective study we evaluated long-term growth, pubertal developmental patterns to final height (FH), and medication in 55 patients (35 females) affected by 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The patients were classified into 3 groups according to predicted mutation severity: group A (11 women and 9 men), homozygous or compound heterozygous for null or In2 splice mutations [residual enzymatic activity (RA), <1%]; group B (11 women and 4 men), homozygous for I172N or R341P or R426H mutations (RA, approximately 2-3%) or compound heterozygous with any of the group A or B mutations; and group C (13 women and 7 men), homozygous for P30L or V281L or P453S mutations (RA, >30%) or compound heterozygous with any of the group A, B, or C mutations. Three patients showed unclassifiable genotypes. FH was similar in the female groups, whereas male patients in group B were shorter than males in groups A and C. Fifty-five percent of patients in group A, 33% in group B, and 40% in group C reached an FH within 0.5 SD of target height. Four of the 7 patients diagnosed via neonatal screening achieved an FH equal to or above the target height. In the entire group, early diagnosis (<1 yr) improved height outcome. Early diagnosed CAH patients who received lower cortisol equivalent doses during the first year of life reached a better FH. Our results underline the importance of mineralocorticoid therapy, as CAH subjects in groups A and B who did not receive this treatment showed reduced FH. Early diagnosis, the use of more physiological cortisol equivalent dosages during the first year of life, and the extension of mineralocorticoid therapy to all classical patients are shown to improve the auxological outcome. Genotypic analysis helped to interpret the height results of our cases and prospectively may represent a useful tool for improving the therapeutic choice and the height outcome.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this long-term, open parallel-group, double-consent study of alternate-day, low-dose prednisone in 2-4-year-old patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) was to determine whether prednisone produces a beneficial effect when given earlier than usual. Muscle function was evaluated by timed tests, and muscle strength with a hand-held myometer. After 55 months of treatment, the five patients (mean age 8.3 years) in the prednisone group were still able to get up from the floor, whereas two of the three in the control group had lost this ability. Side effects included a decline in growth rate in the prednisone-treated patients and excessive weight gain in one control and three treated patients. Because steroids are effective in prolonging function, but not in recovering lost function, we propose that treatment be started with low-dose prednisone in DMD patients as soon as the diagnosis is definite.
Article: Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) concentrations compared to stimulated growth hormone (GH) in the evaluation of children treated for malignancy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the utility of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 determinations in screening for GH deficiency (GHD) in children previously submitted to treatment for childhood malignancy. We compared the GH responses to two pharmacological tests (arginine and levo-dopa) with the IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels in 48 patients (29 boys) who had undergone bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (36 patients) or treatment for a solid cranial tumor (12 patients). 22 patients (45.8%) showed GHD (i.e. GH peak < 8 ng/ml in both tests), and only three (13.6%) of the GHD patients had concomitant low IGF-I levels (i.e. -2 SD below the normal mean) and only one (4.5%) an abnormal IGFBP-3 value (i.e. -2 SD below the normal mean). Among the 26 children with normal GH secretion, 21 (80.8%) also showed normal IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels, three (11.5%) had a concomitant low IGF-I value and two (7.7%) a concomitant low IGFBP-3 value. A significant correlation was found between GH secretion and age at diagnosis (r = 0.26, P < 0.05), and between IGF-I and IGFBP-3 (r = 0.52, P < 0.0001), but not between GH and IGF-I or IGFBP-3. Comparing the growth pattern of these patients from diagnosis to the first year after therapy or BMT, we found that while individual height changes did not correlate with the GH peak, a significant correlation was found between height SDS decrease and IGF-I (r = 0.31, P < 0.05) or IGFBP-3 SDS (r = 0.37, P < 0.01). Our results indicate that the cut-off of -2 SD for IGF-I and IGFBP-3 was insensitive in screening for GHD. A normal value did not exclude a subnormal GH response to provocative tests and therefore although IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels may be indicators of the growth pattern, they cannot be used alone as a tool for identifying GHD children after treatment for childhood malignancy.

My daughter and I are traveling for 2 weeks in Italy. I am a 59 yr old mother and she is 25 years old from the state of Oregon in the US. We often travel together and can share 1 bed. We are ending in Rome where I will present a paper at an international professional conference. My daughter will start her advanced PhD studies in the US in August. We will travel by train, coming to Florence from Venice. We would like to visit the Boboli Gardens and Ufizzi museum and other sites. We do not have a car. We would also like to have one night with cooking lesson and dinner with you. We are excited about a stay here and trip to Italy. It will be our first visit.

As we all know, Brandon Lloyd is a free agent after this season. He had to be happy to reunite with former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, whom he was productive under in Denver. But given the state of the franchise, it's entirely possible (if not probable) that coaching changes will be made after this season. That could include letting McDaniels go as offensive coordinator.
If McDaniels isn't here, do you think Lloyd has much motivation to re-sign with this Rams team after such a dismal season? Consider his comments from the Doug Gottlieb Show last month about his personal goals:
While first year head coaches of losing teams generally have a hard time making a playoff run in their first year, one could make the argument that the right coach could lead a healthy Rams team to at least contend in the weak NFC West. But retaining Lloyd would mean either slapping him with the franchise tag ($9.4 million for receivers next year) or giving him a substantial enough contract extension to convince him not to test the market.Quote:
Originally Posted by Brandon Lloyd
Lloyd has certainly stepped in and became the Rams' top target; his 32 receptions for 430 yards and four touchdowns in seven games with the Rams represent averages that no other Rams receiver has been able to put together this season. But I think most would agree that they aren't exactly earth-shattering numbers, so the Rams may not be inclined to shell out a lot of money to retain Lloyd.
Another factor for Lloyd to consider is that he was traded for only a sixth-round pick (well, now it's a fifth-round pick b/c of the number of receptions he's made). That's not a steep asking price for a legitimate starting receiver, but that no one offered more might be a hint at limited interest he could draw as a free agent. It's entirely possible no one is going to give him the kind of deal he may want after his break-out year with McDaniels.
So what's your prediction? If there are coaching changes that involve McDaniels leaving the Rams after this season, do you think Brandon Lloyd re-signs?

My avatar is an Erysiumum taken last week after the frosts, it's still going! Best £3.50 sale plant buy this year.
Noticed though that my dwarf snapdragon flowers have all secumbed to the recent frost. The older, taller variety ones are still going!
Like the idea of a NY flower count. J.
It's raining again now. J.
We used roses at a previous house to demark our garden/lawn edge. They could be planted between now & March if bought bare rooted. Flowers & thorns, pretty to look at & good at stopping footballs!
Berberis also came to mind- another neighbour on the same estate used that & kept it cut back to a lowish hedge height. Some are very thorny, some are evergreen, so lots of choice.
Boring mahonia aquifolium is as tough as old boots- used in carparks- but is evergreen, has flowers & fruit for the birds & can be kept hedge-like too.
Native hawthorn also a possibility- thorns, flowers, fruit & prunable. J.
Well the plastic bottle idea is down to a previous beeb board poster. Half of this yrs bottles are unpainted- oops, but better than none. No idea where I got the pot/tealight one though.J.

Oh the tin situation completely forgotten, well no comments anyway! Family should know by now that if I know am right then I will argue blue murder! This stems from once being punished in junior school for something that I hadnt actually done!!
I was planning to do some mincepies this w/end, but someone else wants to practise! So the rubber type muffin/little cake tin that he sent back with me from 'little house' can be used by him tomorrow! Then if ok he can take it back to make some for people at his works! I didnt buy it, he did! Daughter on nights this coming week so I can do some for us in my ususal tins & hopefully freeze some too.
The 'what's for tea & when is it?' have started! Ok have been sat, resting, here so no excuse. Back later. J.

Head Automatica
Dan "The Automator" Nakamura isn't infallible, but he's damn close. From Doctor Octagon to Handsome Boy Modeling School to Gorillaz, the respected beat-maker and producer has parlayed a string of innovative collaborations into almost universal critical applause. His latest project, a partnership with vocalist Daryl Palumbo of the emo-core juggernaut Glassjaw, is Head Automatica. The duo's debut is called Decadence, and it's purportedly some kind of finger-on-the-pulse blend of garage rock, industrial, punk and pop -- but really it's just the sound of Nakamura riding a gravy train, pressing Play and cashing checks. Meanwhile, his cohort howls and strums a retarded muddle of guitars and electronics that even EMF would find unbelievable. Palumbo has been quoted as saying, "I don't know anybody who thinks Automator's whack." Yeah, well, wait until they hear Head Automatica. Way to go, dude; with collaborators like you, who needs negative reviews?

Traevon Jackson eager to keep feeding Frank Kaminsky

Jackson displayed a pass first attitude in the last game instead of hunting for his own shot. Great personal and team improvement.Hide replies
Sometimes, a "pass-first attitude" is a bad thing. It drives me crazy when people fawn over players that "pass first." Many recent UW teams have had too many "pass first" guys. You remember, those teams that would pass the ball around for 30 seconds and then jack up a three with the shot clock buzzer going off?
It's true, Kaminsky is a good three point shooter. That doesn't mean that he's most valuable to the team out there, though. He's better in the post.
By the way, those quotes from Traevon Jackson are awesome.
Maybe basketball should adopt the two assist scoring of hockey. A lot of the passes into the post come when whoever has the ball at the top of the key recognizes where the opening to the post player is and gets the ball to the player with the best opportunity to get it to him.
Sure would be nice to beat Iowa. Tough match.Hide replies
Agreed eddie. The pass to the guy who gets the assist is very underappreciated at times. Knowing that getting the ball to a play-maker, who will either create a shot or create an easy assist situation, is a skill. That person understand the spacing required to run an effective offense.
That person has basketball IQ.
Special K needs to work the paint to set up his perimeter game. See MI game and step-back 3!

Cuddle Time by humonWatch
©2012-2016 humon
I finally got to take pictures of Ranger and Yankee being cute and cuddely, and then they decided to finish it off with a shag. Damn cats.
Well, I told you they had become good friends. And they have only known each other for three days.
Well, I told you they had become good friends. And they have only known each other for three days.
LOL! That's hilarious! I was wondering what was going on in those last panels and then you explained it haha.
Ranger totally looks like my cat.
Oh God. XD
This looks like something that would be a magazine for cats.
"Ranger and Yankee get intimate!" XD
"Ranger and Yankee get intimate!" XD
it started out so cute and then-some weird @$$ instincts took over....
XD that's real cute
Seriously, I was all like "awww... they're so cute! Daww... aw they're being so cuddleh... ah, look they're hugging"
And then
"wet err ye doen XD"
And then
"wet err ye doen XD"
Ranger reminds me of my old cat...
Well, with the fur pattern and all.
My cat was cynical and was.... Well she was either put down or given back to the pet shelter. I hope it's the latter.
That reminds me of when my cat Markel Hitler got together with Pudding. It was the cutest thing ever, and then my very Catholic mother freaked out when two males cats were having fun on the back porch.
Still, this is very adorable. A very handsome pair of cats.
Still, this is very adorable. A very handsome pair of cats.
Ranger looks like my kitty (who apparently is also my big brother) Tuffy. He's super friendly as well. They might be secret twins X3

=ŌωŐ= meo!?
First I was like Awww, then like Awww what a cuties and then like Whait a minute... and then like hahaha gross but funny hahaha. I have a cat too!
xDDD This is just too awesome. You are a girl who shows support for freedom of sexuality (which you express on your comics) and now you discover you have a homosexual cat couple. Ohh the irony (uhh... I am not using the word irony in a bad way, its just I lack of a better word, my bad )
I do too. They're funny as hell when they start chasing and poucing each other.
Fun? I once saw a transgender dog. it was extremely funny to find out this dog (which had female body parts) concidered itself male, as she was the leader of the pack! And man, was she baddas, she was always getting in fight with other male dogs, and go arround chasing a doberman (well, doberwoman xP).
If they were transgender- which is actually possible in species other than humans- it's more politically correct to refer to them by their chosen gender. So, a FTM transgender- even a dog- should be referred to as male, (he, his, etc.) unless they prefer otherwise. It may sound silly, because this is not a human we're talking about, but still.
Oh dont worry, I totally respect transgender and I understand that. I just intentionally called that dog "she" when he should be called "he" just to emphatize the fact that he had female body parts, and to empathize it was funny that I never expected to see other animals have transgenders... coming to think of it, its not that surprising, but I just never thought about it before, so I got surprised and laughed about the surprise. Not that I think it is stupid or something to laugh about, just that I had lot of fun with it since I never expected it (and it was even more funny not only that this dog was behaving as male, but the fact he was the alpha male of the pack! oh boy no one dared to challenge him!.).
Oh, ok- I was just making sure. That's really interesting, though, I've heard of lots of animals being transgendered, but I don't think I've ever heard of a trans dog!
Nice! XD
are they boys are girl boys
"then they decided to finish it off with a shag" I swear that kept me laughing for like 5 minutes. XD
Hehe nice drwing them in the end, that's cute!
Lol, oh wow!
the 1st n 3rd photos were my favorite
just like my cats
i loved this. it made me smile x3
Well I hope the new kitten turns out alright.
Yankee was too kinky for Ranger it seems..
Yankee was too kinky for Ranger it seems..
...do you think they wanna be pornstars??
AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH stop with the ctueness I'm gonna die!!! DDDD:
wait!wait! Aren't they males???? That's funny.^^ And the pic are really cute*w*
They are indeed.
This is true neko-yaoi.
This is true neko-yaoi.
Naturally. xD Friends with benefits.
Aww there so cute... and... O.e
Yankee looks like my cat! XD
First I was like "aaaaw!!" Then I was like 0.0
Very Cute Cats! You are so lucky to have them!
Very Cute Cats! You are so lucky to have them!
hahahaha you just brought tears to my eyes from laughing so hard.
Apparently shagging is their form of bonding?
haha, it was like "AWWWWW, they're so cute and cuddly" and then it was like ".........oh...oh?......OHMY GOD!!" hahaha, very nice.
My female cat just went into heat, and I let my male cat go at it with her since 1)It shuts her up until I can get her fixed and 2)He's shooting blanks. I just beg them to wait until I'm out of the house. It's so awkward. >__>
First I hope that the situation for you is better now

Comparative Drama
Volume 47, Number 3, Fall 2013
pp. 343-366 | 10.1353/cdr.2013.0031
The first of the two main points I would like the reader to take away from this essay is that, at least since the 1960s, "America" (USA) has become an important, consequential trope in world drama, one that deserves a lot more attention than scholarship has paid it. My recently published American "Unculture" in French Drama , for instance, covers a great number of post-1960 plays about "America" written by French continental dramatists, plays which assume an all-American perspective and focus on American people and places. It examines in particular the French fascination with what I call, after Jean Baudrillard and Régis Debray, the "unculture" of a postmodern type of "homo americanus," representing an (anti-)intellectual mind-set, an exceptionalist self-image, and a materialistic lifestyle that are globally prominent but concentrated in the United States—which brings me to the second point I would like to make. The trope of "America" tells a somewhat different story when it issues from a different selection of the world's francophone population, one with a dissimilar geopolitical history and a contrasting and turbulent cultural reality. A working comparison between the continental French plays about America and the ways in which today's generation of postcolonial francophone dramatists responds to "America" in their writing shows that the latter shift their attention from any "reality" of American "unculture" and toward an idealized notion of America as a model for their own perspective on globalizing humanity. Koffi Kwahulé stands out for his dramaturgical fascination with the subject of America, and this essay will cover two of his plays that draw heavily on this subject.
In culinary lingo the recipe for my discussion of Kwahulé's America plays would read as follows: take one West African expatriate dramatist (a product, in part, of both the specific artistic framework and the humanistic vitality of the Ivorian source culture), one prominent Western European culture (the intellectual and artistic infrastructures being equally enriched by France's unique sociopolitical freedoms and problematized by its history of colonial and postcolonial abuses and its remnant racism), and one mediated/media-assisted idea of a super-hegemonic global culture: America. Bring them all together and you're likely to produce a planetary stew of the "world-totality" kind, as Edouard Glissant might envision it.
What does Edouard Glissant mean when he expresses the future of humanity in terms of "world-totality"? In culinary terms, once again, he's talking not so much about a (subtle yet predictable) cosmopolitan dining experience as about a much less predictable and more randomly constituted creole potluck , which Glissant believes will be the dietary (read "cultural") staple of the global village yet to come. Something of an outspoken visionary in the field of world culture-making, Glissant warns Westerners that, in the move toward "world-totality," they must get used to the idea of sacrificing their "unique root identity" for a relational or rhizomatic identity: "that is, the root that digs down but that also extends its branches laterally toward other roots." "World-totality," Glissant believes, will depend on our progress toward a transnational creolization, involving the "contact, conflict, attraction, harmony, repulsion, dissemblance, resemblance between cultures of the world," resulting in what he calls "a chaos-world [,] not because it is a world in disorder, but because it is an unpredictable world." Today's generation of African writers, I believe, see themselves to some extent as both reconnaissance outriders and progenitors on humanity's journey toward a reconciliation with this "chaos-world." They act, as a character from one of Koffi Kwahulé's plays puts it, as "the elder sons of the world."
Setting aside the ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversities among African nations, francophone Africa is well placed historically and culturally to spearhead the move toward the global village. The continent, with its many tribes and nations, has been dynamically involved in world-making since the beginnings of the global slave trade in the seventeenth century. Consequently, post-independence, postcolonial African intellectual classes have become remarkably conscious of their role in both involuntary and voluntary processes of world-making, from Africans' forced displacement into slavery in the West, to their colonial domination and then the...

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Where did the Spanish Olmedo family come from? What is the Spanish Olmedo family crest and coat of arms? When did the Olmedo family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Olmedo family history?The noble Spanish surname Olmedo is of locative origin, being derived from the topographic or man made feature where the initial bearer resided. In this case, Olmedo derives from the Castilian element "olmeda," in turn derived from a contraction of "olmo" meaning "elm tree," plus the suffix "eda," meaning "abundance." Thus, the surname Olmedo was used to identify a person who lived in a place where many elm trees grew.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Olmeda, Olmedo, Olmera, Olmo and others.
First found in the Spanish province of Valladolid, in the Castilla la Vieja.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Olmedo research. Another 364 words (26 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Olmedo History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 56 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Olmedo Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the first settlers of this family name were:
Olmedo Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
The Olmedo Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Olmedo Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

So That Happened
10 conversation ice-breakers to make your post-hurricane carpool a little less awkward.
Nov 02, 2012 @ 1:03pm
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, people here in New York City and other areas are required to carpool if we want to commute to our jobs. After days being trapped indoors, with many people having no power or running water, it's not easy to make conversation with strangers all of a sudden. So we've thrown together these ten hurricane-centric carpool ice-breakers to keep us all from silently whimpering on our shared rides to and from work.

Maroon 5 will appear live exclusively on MTV next Monday to premiere the video for their new single "One More Night." "MTV First: Maroon 5" kicks off June 25 at 7:53 p.m. ET and will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A with the band on MTV.com that will include an opportunity for fans to ask questions via Twitter.
Adam Levine and the boys will sit down with MTV News' James Montgomery on the eve of the release of their new album, Overexposed, which features their hit collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, "Payphone." Before the premiere, fans can get in on the action by submitting video or text questions via MTV.com or Twitter (using @MTVNews/ hashtag #MTVFirst #AskMaroon5). Following the broadcast premiere, the music video for "One More Night" will go into immediate rotation on MTV Hits and mtvU and debut on "AMTV" the following morning.
Overexposed, due out June 26, was recorded in Los Angeles over the past year and features 10 new tracks from the band. It's the follow-up to 2010's Hands All Over, which featured the biggest hit of their career so far, "Moves Like Jagger." Among the producers on the new disc are pop maestros Max Martin, Benny Blanco and Ryan Tedder.
Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine recently told MTV News that the filming of the action-packed "Payphone" video required some risk taking on his part. "The video is this crazy thing; it's about a bank robber, it was actually an idea that I had, and Sam Bayer, who's a brilliant director, is doing it," he said from the video's set.
"Payphone" also pushed the group out of their comfort zone, as it broke their "no guests" approach to making albums, especially in light of the mega-success of the Christina Aguilera-guesting smash "Jagger." Not wanting to become "that band," Levine said they were reluctant at first to put another voice on the tune, but their minds changed quickly when they heard Wiz was interested.
"Wiz is an amazing dude, and he's just the future. He's already so huge, but he hasn't really done many big pop records, actually, so just the idea that he'd be interested in doing it was enough to get him involved. It was too good to pass up," Levine said. "He's a wonderful guy, he's so creative and so quick … watching him in the studio, he was just so in it, within 30 minutes he had this incredible verse and he'd already knocked it out. That dude is really prolific and really talented."
Don't miss the premiere of Maroon 5's "One More Night" video during "MTV First: Maroon 5" on Monday, June 25, at 7:53 p.m. on MTV, followed by a 30-minute Q&A with the band on MTV.com.

Having A Ball With This
posted 6 years ago
I bought the clear color plastic run-about ball for my hamster and he loves it.
These balls are perfect for hamsters to get a good workout. If a hamster does not use their exercise wheel enough this ball is another way for them to stay in shape.
When my hamster is inside his ball he rolls all around the house exploring everywhere. This ball is keeping him stimulated and healthy.
Pros: Great For Exercising and Entertaining Hamsters.
Cons: Make sure the lib is closed tight.
