Passion for Electronics
Technology Drives Us! EFY started with the launch of Electronics For You magazine in January 1969. Ever since, everything we have done is for the electronics fraternity in our mind, including this hands-on training division of EFY, EFY Tech Center. Besides training, EFY portfolio includes publications (print and online), web portals, online properties and events – all dedicated to electronics. We intend to pass on our passion for electronics to the others.
Hands-On Training
Degrees in education by themselves are generally found insufficient to do well in life. Skill development is an important part of all-round development. This is now being realised and emphasised upon. We are trying to help in this through individuals' training at EFY Tech Center all over India and group trainings at institutes and institutions. Thousands of persons have already undertaken our short-term trainings and received the certificates.
Latest Technologies
Training is given in the latest technologies as well as some popular subjects that are in demand in the industry. The subjects being covered at present include Microcontroller applications, Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards, PCB Designing, Embedded Systems, Robotics, VLSI/FPGA design and Basics of Electronics. The course content is mentioned under 'Training' above (see 'Courses'). The subjects are added or removed from the list as per demand from the industry.

Filed under: Dietary supplements
Both deer velvet and IGF-1 have been in the news lately, and HPRC has received many questions about what these are and whether they improve athletic performance. Does deer velvet contain IGF-1? Read this OPSS FAQ about deer velvet to find out. To learn what IGF-1 is and whether it is banned in the military, read more in the OPSS FAQ about IGF-1. Be sure to check back often, as we add answers to other questions about ingredients in performance and weight-loss supplements and how to choose supplements safely.
It can be tough figuring out the truth about the health benefits of many natural products. One product that's getting a lot of attention these days is green coffee beans. As a Warfighter looking for ways to optimize your performance or perhaps drop some weight quickly, it's easy to be overwhelmed by all the marketing hype and claims, especially if it's an appealing message. Make sure you get the facts.
Green coffee beans are the raw, unroasted seeds or "beans" of the Coffea plant. They contain a chemical called chlorogenic acid (CA) that supposedly offers some health benefits. Roasting reduces the amount of CA in coffee beans; as a result, green coffee beans contain more CA than the roasted beans you use for your morning coffee. Some research suggests that CA might prevent heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and help with weight loss. But it's important to note that most of this research is preliminary, and there just isn't enough evidence to say that CA will definitely help with any of these health conditions.
Although no serious side effects have been reported from green coffee beans in their natural form, some dietary supplement products containing green coffee beans have been found to contain undeclared drugs, insects, and mold. Of the 126 products containing green coffee beans ranked by the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, 40 have been assigned a rating of "1" or "2," which indicates there are serious concerns about their safety and effectiveness. None have a rating in NMCD's green zone, which suggests that there are some concerns about them all. Note also that green coffee beans are not always the only active ingredient, so be sure to check the product label.
It's also important to note that green coffee beans contain caffeine. Side effects of consuming too much caffeine are all too familiar—difficulty sleeping, rapid or irregular heartbeat, nervousness, nausea, and vomiting. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, or those who have been diagnosed with certain medical conditions (including anxiety, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis) should check with their doctor before consuming green coffee beans. For more information on caffeine, read the OPSS FAQ on caffeine.
HPRC has received many questions about C4 Extreme and whether or not it will result in a positive drug test. We have posted an OPSS FAQ to answer the question. Be sure to check back often as we add answers to other questions about ingredients in performance and weight-loss supplements and how to choose supplements safely. If you have additional questions about a particular dietary supplement ingredient or product, please use our "Ask the Expert" button located on the OPSS home page.

Product Description
In the biggest Austin Powers adventure yet, the International Man of Mystery must travel back to the Swinging Sixties, track down his stolen mojo and thwart Dr. Evil's plot to destroy the world. Of course, along the way, Austin meets his match in CIA operative Felicity Shagwell, a fab chick, hot spy and fantastic motivation for restoring his libido.]]>
Myers's true triumph, though, is his turn as the neurotic Dr. Evil, who tends to spout the right cultural reference at exactly the wrong time (referring to his moon base as a "Death Star" with Moon Units Alpha and Zappa--in 1969). Myers teams Dr. Evil with a diminutive clone, Mini-Me (Verne J. Troyer), who soon replaces slacker son Scott Evil (Seth Green) as the apple of the doctor's eye; Myers and Troyer work magic in what could plausibly be one of the year's most affecting (and hysterically funny) love stories. Despite a stellar supporting cast--including a sly Rob Lowe as Robert Wagner's younger self and Mindy Sterling as the forbidding Frau Farbissina--it's basically Myers's show, and he pulls a hat trick by playing a third character, the obese and disgusting Scottish assassin Fat Bastard. Many viewers will reel in disgust at Mr. Bastard's repulsive antics and the scatological bent Myers indulges in, including one showstopper involving coffee and--shudder--a stool sample. Still, Myers's good humor and dead-on cultural references win the day; Austin is one spy who proves he can still shag like a minx. --Mark Englehart

As for the movie itself, Dr. Evil's disfunctional relationship with his son Scott is hilarious. Mini Me...Rob Lowe as a young Number 2... Frau...the whole Jerry Springer scene was great. As for the time travel inaccuracies, well...duh. I mean, we're not talking 2001:A Space Odyssey here. It's a frickin' comedy. It's about having FUN, being SILLY.
My advice: If you're too uptight to just enjoy this movie, if you absolutely MUST analyze every scene, then go rent "Contact" and leave the rest of us alone.
In this laughable comedy, we are introduced to more new and great characters such as: Mini-me (played by Verne Troyer), Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham), and a younger version of Number 2 played by Rob Lowe. There are so many laughs in the movie I don't even know where to begin. How about Mustafa's reappearance or maybe Fat Bastard trying to eat Mini-me. They just never stop. Again, we have a similar storyline along with a similar ending: 30...29...28... you get the idea. I have a feeling that Mike's not done quite yet in producing laughs. I'm really looking forward to Austin Powers 3. It'll be smashing, baby!
Anyway, that's enough of that. If you liked the first Austin Powers movie you'll definitly like this one. Heck, you might even enjoy it more. Otherwise, if you didn't like the first movie you won't like this one either. Give it a shot, it's worth it.
One more thing, make sure you watch to the very very end of the credits to find out what actually happens to Mustafa. It's too good to miss.
True fans of Mike Meyers and the SNL alumni will thoroughly enjoy this movie. However, the fly-by-night, listens to top-40 music fan may be dissappointed in the similarities between this and the first movie.
The best bit of this DVD is the plethora of extra fetures, with some very good out-takes. Also, the quality of the picture is amongst the best I have in my DVD collection and the sound is excellent (although it does not really get the chance to shine like, say, the Matrix).
Overall, an excellent package for an above average to very good film.

i asked to speak to a manager. one came and was rude and talked to me like i was a nobody wasting his time. he actually said 'how do i know it wasn't already broken and was just hanging by a thread."
i asked to speak to his supervisor but he just wrote down a name and phone number and said call him because he has work to get back to ---yeah right---probably his sandwich.
anyway, i called the number and was always transferred to an answering machine and never was called back.
i ended up buying a new/used door handle and paid my own mechanic to install it. this totalled about $200.00 by the time i was done.

Venus and Adonis
Cinyras in Venus and Adonis
Cinyras is Adonis' dad … and grandpa. You see, Adonis' mom, Myrrha, fell in love with her own father. She even managed to trick her father into sleeping with her, and that's how she conceived Adonis. Cinyras, though, was an innocent victim. When he realized what he had done, he was completely horrified.

Patent Office: No Do-Over on Lipitor Patent
Pfizer has lost a round in the seemingly perpetual patent grudge match between Big Pharma and makers of generic drugs.
Pfizer had hoped to persuade the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to reissue a patent on Lipitor that would preserve protection for the blockbuster cholesterol drug in the U.S. market through 2011, Dow Jones Newswires reports. Pfizer argued "technical defect" and asked for a mulligan.
The patent office's preliminary response: Tough luck.
The patent in question was invalidated last year by a federal appeals court after it was challenged by Ranbaxy Laboratories, an Indian generics maker that wants to sell a copycat version of Lipitor. A second patent was upheld, preserving Pfizer's U.S. market exclusivity for Lipitor until March 2010. Lipitor had $12.9 billion in worldwide sales in 2006.
Even with the pressure on Lipitor from generic simvastatin on the low end and AstraZeneca's Crestor and Merck and Schering-Plough's Vytorin on the high end, a loss of even a few months of protection would mean a lot of lost moolah for Pfizer.

1Oct 11, '13 by LakeEmerald, BSN, RNMoo ha ha - I am still cracking up from the OP's post! So true and so funny and I still don't know why they do that. Perhaps it's along the lines of: They have given full control of their destiny over to the medical establishment? Including sipping because a medical person places a straw there? I don't mind helping and I really appreciate the trust patients put in me, but it is pretty funny!

The Heroic Tales of Kamal Saleem
Listening to "ex-terrorist" Kamal Saleem tell his life story is like listening to the Forrest Gump of terrorism as he relates who he was an extremely important figure working in terror networks ranging from Al Qaeda to those established by Moammar Gadhafi to Saddam Hussein.
Recently, Saleem has become the Religious Right's favorite ex-Muslim as he spreads some of today's craziest and wild conspiracies which the Right seemingly accepts uncritically despite the fact that his biography is rather questionable.
For the last week, Saleem has been the featured quest on Liberty Counsel's "Faith and Freedom" radio program where he has been regaling Mat Staver with tales of being trained to be a terrorist from the age of seven, when he first led a mission to smuggle weapons into Israel from Syria.
As Saleem explained today, that mission was such a success that he became a hero and was then tasked with recruiting other children for future missions, which he succeeded in doing. Saleem claims that he recruited another child named Mohammed but only after promising Mohammed's mother that he would let nothing happen to him and that Mohammed would return alive.
Now eight years-old, Saleem claims to have led a second weapons smuggling mission into Israel, only this time, when they emerge from the tunnel they had used to sneak into the country, they were confronted by the Israeli military "which started hitting us with everything they've got," killing Mohammed after he "took shrapnel through his esophagus and severed his spine," prompting Saleem to pick him up, put him on his shoulders, and run back across the border in Syria, with Mohammed serving as a shield to absorb the bullets being fired at him by the pursing Israeli soldiers:
Sounds plausible to me.

Colorado public opinion is now of national interest -- that's because a nationally prominent polling institute will begin releasing regular surveys of Colorado public opinion, starting this summer.
The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute has added Colorado to its list of swing states, along with Iowa. Swing states are polled every six to eight weeks by live telephone operators calling a mix of land lines and cell phones.
The polling institute is based in Connecticut and regularly polls people nationwide and in the northeast. Other swing states already being polled by Quinnipiac include Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

Lawmakers, advocates introduce stun gun billThe Associated Press | February 12,2013MONTPELIER — A group of Vermont lawmakers and the heads of disability and civil rights groups are pushing legislation that would create new rules governing police use of electronic stun guns.
They held a news conference on Tuesday to unveil a bill that would set up statewide training and rules for law enforcement officers using Tasers and similar devices.
The effort follows the death last year of Macadam Mason, a Thetford man who died of a heart attack after a state trooper hit him with a Taser.
Attorney General William Sorrell and the Orange County state's attorney announced last month that Senior Trooper

Candy Colored: Decorating with a Pop of Hot Pink
I think these five interiors hit the note just right. Whether introducing the color through a few accessories or painting a wall, they keep the rest of the space fairly neutral, with clean lines and plenty of white space. The result is sophisticated, fresh and fun.
1. Ideas to Steal A vibrant sofa, coffee table and accessories play with a range of shades and bring a little extra glamor to the high ceilings, chandelier and ornate details in this space.
2. House Beautiful A foyer wall painted in the most vibrant of shades makes a statement the moment you step in the door.
3. Elle Décor The chaise is a dramatic touch in an otherwise neutral space, the pink books on the shelf help pull the look together.
4. Elle Décor A utilitarian office chair becomes a piece with personality when upholstered in a vibrant color.
5. Made by Girl Touches like flowers and a brightly hued book are an easy, non-committal way to play with the color.

Prosecutor Recognition
Congratulations to Assistant District Attorney Rob Freyer of Montgomery County, Texas, for obtaining a conviction in an animal dragging case. A.D.A. Freyer charged that the defendant used a motor vehicle as a deadly weapon in the commission of an offense, which elevated the animal cruelty charge to a third degree felony. After overcoming several hurdles in this prosecution, he succeeded in getting a conviction that resulted in a five-year prison sentence for the defendant. Read more »

At The Pennington School, educational excellence comes first.
But we strongly believe that, to succeed in the world, our students also need to develop the ability to bond well with others and greet new experiences within their peer groups or greater community with both purpose and passion.
That is why we offer every middle school and upper school student countless opportunities to join in weekend activities, student leadership, clubs, community service, and much more.
Whether a day student or a boarding student, all are invited—and expected—to participate in one or more of these important portals into personal growth moments that can build memories and friends that will last a lifetime.
Beyond the importance of these activities within our own value system, the top U.S. and international educational institutions also look for motivated, well-rounded young adults to include within the pool of students they choose to admit.
Make no mistake about it: A student's résumé of school activities and community volunteer work are integral—along with his or her grades—to the educational placement of that student upon graduation from our School.
We offer students a number of educational, enrichment, and service trips during Spring Break. Some Pennington students may spend their Spring Break exploring arts, history, and culture on a trip to Europe, while others may use their Spring Break to serve alongside health workers in Haiti. To see what trips are offered this year, click here.

Mum's lonely vigil in Bali at jailed son's side
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- October 12, 2011
- Mother keeps vigil at her jailed son's side
- "Under incredible stress but she is strong"
- Revealed: Every corner in Kuta a drugstore
SHE sleeps on a wooden chair, chain smokes to while away the hours and refuses to leave her 14-year-old son's side.
This is the Australian mother in the middle of her own living hell in Bali, The Daily Telegraph reported.
She has been holed up in a room adjacent to where her son is being held at Denpasar police headquarters for the past eight nights as Indonesian authorities decide his fate.
She emerged for the first time yesterday to make several calls on her mobile phone - her only connection to family, including her husband, back in Australia.
Australian ambassador Greg Moriarty spent time with the mother and her son yesterday, revealing she is "strong" despite her family's ordeal.
"She is under incredible stress but she is strong and she is handling it as well as can be expected," Mr Moriarty said.
Adding to the mother's anxiety is news yesterday that the head of the Bali Drugs Squad had finalised his report into the teenager's arrest, with the report to be handed to prosecutors.
It is understood the Morisset High School student will be charged under Indonesian law article 128, which states minors will not be sentenced to a jail term.
The boy - who was arrested last Tuesday in Kuta allegedly with 6.9g of marijuana - will also be moved from his current cell, with authorities searching for somewhere "suitable" to house him.
"We are waiting for the request and then we will find suitable custody," Drug Squad chief Colonel Mulyadi said.
The teenager has spent a week behind bars at police headquarters, but is believed to be in relatively good spirits.
"He's OK," Colonel Mulyadi said.
The teenager's psychologist, Donny Thong, said yesterday the mother had been living "a nightmare".
"I am certain the parents would be under a lot of pressure. It must be significant for the parents," he said.
Despite the circumstances, sources said the determined woman was trying to keep her spirits high and focus on getting her son home.
"The pair are very close. They try to keep a positive attitude, and just pull through," the source said.
Although police are supplying the family with food, sources said they were refusing to eat it. Instead they rely on fast food deliveries of KFC and pizza or donations of food from their lawyer.

I was challenged to do a piece of flash horror, but flash fiction isn't my cup of tea. I have a hard enough time keeping a short story under 5,000 words. But this is less than 1,500, so its close enough in my eyes. Enjoy Pandora's Children: As Seen on Craig's List, and search for Pandora's Children Book 1: In the Chair on Amazon or BN for two excellent short stories.

These are some of the shorter works do I do not plan on including in my short horror collection but can give you and idea of my style and how my mind...
Not much interesting to say about myself. I was born on Fort Benning Army Base in Georgia in 1977 but spent most of my formative years in southern NJ, outside of Philadelphia. I attended Tulane University in New Orleans in the late nineties, where I earned by bachelors degree in evolutionary biology. I spent the next four years trapped in scenic Newark, New Jersey, earning my DMD from The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Whereas my four years in New Orleans was filled with excitement, my four years in dental school were rather dull, save for one episode, non-school related, that stands out. Have you ever been woken up on Sunday morning by someone knocking on your door? Sure, we all have. Ever opened the door and found yourself face-to-face with a pair of men in biohazard suits? Probably not. But I have. More on this in a future post at the official Pandora's Children website
But I digress… Now in my thirties, I find myself living back in the same zip code I grew up in, but in a different house and my own family. I have a son and a daughter and a diabetic Daschund named Friday who is prematurely going blind. But I love him anyway. When I am not filling cavities or performing root canals or extracting teeth or fabricating dentures, or writing, or playing with my kids, I am playing video games, reading comic books (yes, I am a geek and proud of it) or watching my beloved Philadelphia Phillies or less than beloved Philadelphia Eagles (why did you have to sign the dog killer?).
What do I listen to when I write? Disturbed and Godsmack, Chevelle and Slipknot. I enjoy my share of classic rock, but don't find Zeppelin or The Stones or The Allman brother's Band conducive to writing.
What else? One more thing and I'll let you go: Lost, you disappointed me. So much potential wasted. Long live Dexter, the best show on television.

JAL Chief: Focus on Day Job, Not DPJ Row
The ruling Democratic Party of Japan risks losing the active support of one of its oldest and most powerful backers.
Kazuo Inamori, the venerated entrepreneur tasked with helping Japan Airlines Corp. claw its way back from bankruptcy and a longtime supporter of the now-faltering Democratic Party of Japan, said Tuesday he may sit upcoming political battles out as the ruling party continues to flounder in public approval ratings.
"I've put in a lot of effort and passion into making a change of administration possible in the first place," said Mr. Inamori at a news conference at the Japan National Press Club. "But now that I'm getting old, I think I'll just quietly observe what happens."
The 79-year-old Mr. Inamori, the visionary founder of electronic parts maker Kyocera and cellphone company KDDI, was one of the rare business executives who held the DPJ's hand long before it became the ruling party. He lent his respected reputation in corporate corridors as muscle to help usher the DPJ to power when it swept the staid Liberal Democratic Party out following elections in August 2009. Mr. Inamori was swiftly tapped to join the waste-cutting Government Revitalization Unit.
"I didn't support the DPJ to see (this kind of leadership)," he said Tuesday, according to Japanese business daily Nikkei.
Mr. Inamori didn't throw up his hands so easily. As a close friend to ruling party kingpin Ichiro Ozawa, he liaised among the party's top figures, trying to smooth over the political jockeying that escalated in the wake of the disastrous upper house elections in July. Prime Minister Naoto Kan dined with the father of two major Japanese companies shortly after the summer election in an attempt to extend an olive branch to Ichiro Ozawa, according to local media. Mr. Kan had given the powerful lawmaker the cold shoulder after Mr. Ozawa was forced to resign his post as its election strategist and party affairs chief alongside former Prime Minster Yukio Hatoyama in early June, Mr. Ozawa over a political funds scandal and Mr. Hatoyama over fudging key political challenges. Mr. Kan's early write-off of the gruff veteran lawmaker has haunted him and his administration since.
Mr. Inamori again attempted to ease the growing intraparty rift ahead of the momentous showdown between Mr. Kan and Mr. Ozawa as the latter challenged the prime minister for the party's presidency in September. Mr. Inamori and the head of the Japanese Trade Union Federation, commonly known as Rengo, dined with Mr. Hatoyama to ask the former prime minister to work harder to skirt a faceoff between the two leaders, according to local media.
Mr. Inamori is known to have especially close ties with Mr. Ozawa. It is said the friendship bloomed in 1992. Though the two men were just acquaintances at the time, Mr. Ozawa traveled to Japan's southern Kagoshima prefecture to attend the funeral of the executive's mother. The two also worked together during Japan-U.S. negotiations over telecommunications when Mr. Ozawa was still an LDP official.
Gifted and knowledgeable as he may be, perhaps the chairman of the ailing flagship carrier can only bear the brunt of one turnaround project at a time.

Article: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and perforation: A case report and review[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare hereditary syndrome known to predispose subjects to endocrine neoplasms in a variety of tissues such as the parathyroid glands, pituitary gland, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. We herein report a patient with a past history of pituitary adenoma, presenting with symptoms of chronic diarrhea for nearly one year and a sudden upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage as well as perforation without signs. Nodules in the duodenum and in the uncinate process and tail of pancreas and enlargement of the parathyroid glands were detected on preoperative imaging. Gastroscopy revealed significant ulceration and esophageal reflux diseases. The patient underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation, pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and pancreatic tail resection and recovered well. The results observed in our patient suggest that perforation and bleeding of intestine might be symptoms of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome in patients with MEN1.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To investigate the expression of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) in human gastric cancer and it's mechanism in apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Expression of 15-PGDH mRNA and protein was examined by immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting in tissue from human gastric cancer, gastric precancerous state (gastric polyps and atrophic gastritis), normal stomach, and gastric cancer cell lines. The relationship between gastric cancer, gastric precancerous state and 15-PGDH expression was determined. The association between expression of 15-PGDH and various clinicopathological parameters in gastric cancer was evaluated. Human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 was transfected with 15-PGDH expression plasmids. The effect of 15-PGDH on the cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry. The effect of 15-PGDH on apoptosis was examined by transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry and transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Expression of cell cycle (p21, p27, p16 and p53) and apoptosis (Survivin, BCL-2, BCL-X(L), BAK and BAX) genes was analyzed by RT-PCR. Expression of 15-PGDH mRNA and protein in human gastric cancer tissues was significantly lower than in normal gastric tissues (P < 0.01). Expression in human gastric cancer cell lines MKN-28 and MKN-45 was reduced, and absent in SGC-7901 cells (P < 0.05). Reduction of 15-PGDH expression was also found in precancerous tissues, such as gastric polyps and atrophic gastritis (P < 0.01). There was a significant difference in expression of 15-PGDH among various gastric cancer pathological types (P < 0.05), with or without distant metastasis (P < 0.05) and different TNM stage (P < 0.01). Flow cytometry demonstrated a significant increase in apoptotic cells in SGC-7901 cells transfected with pcDNA3/15-PGDH plasmid for 24 h and 48 h (P < 0.01), and an increased fraction of sub-G1 phase after transfection (P < 0.05). TUNEL assay showed an increased apoptotic index in cells overexpressing 15-PGDH (P < 0.01). After transfection, expression of proapoptotic genes, such as BAK (P < 0.05), BAX and p53 (P < 0.01), was increased. Expression of antiapoptotic genes was decreased, such as Survivin, BCL-2 and BCL-X(L) (P < 0.01). Expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p16 (P < 0.01) was significantly upregulated in cells overexpressing 15-PGDH. Reduction of 15-PGDH is associated with carcinogenesis and development of gastric carcinoma. 15-PGDH induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in SGC-7901 cells.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To investigate the effect and mechanism of action of erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in the human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 was exposed to varying concentrations of erlotinib, and its effects on proliferation, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis and the expression of pro- and antiapoptotic factors such as bcl-2, bcl-xl, bax and bak, and the expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) were measured with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, flow cytometric analysis, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling assay (TUNEL), and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Potential effect of erlotinib on angiogenesis was examined by tube formation assay. Tumor growth suppression was observed in xenografted nude mice with pancreatic cancer in vivo. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for EGFR and factor VIII-related antigen was undertaken to detect the microvessel density and VEGF expression in tumor tissue in xenograft nude mice. Erlotinib, as a single agent, repressed BxPC-3 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner, triggered G(1) arrest and induced cell apoptosis, and suppressed capillary formation of endothelium in vitro. Expressions of VEGF were significantly down-regulated at a high concentration of 200 mumol/L, however, the expressions of bcl-2 and bcl-xl were decreased at 50 mumol/L. In vivo, Erlotinib-treated mice demonstrated a reduced tumor volume, weight and microvessel density as compared to the control. IHC staining showed decreased expression of EGFR and RT-PCR had lower VEGF expression in treated mice. The in vitro and in vivo findings provide evidence that BxPC-3 cells are inhibited with erlotinib treatment. Inhibition of EGFR may be a promising adjuvant chemotherapy strategy in pancreatic cancer treatment.

If it was there, he hit it. Other race cars. Walls. Pace vehicles. Even an ambulance on an access road.
"The ambulance wouldn't move," Dale Earnhardt Jr. remembered, "so I had to give him a bit of the bumper."
A blown tire, three spins, a car pieced together with duct tape after hitting just about everything in the vicinity -- that afternoon in the fall of 2000 proved a rough orientation to Martinsville Speedway for one rookie driver on NASCAR's top circuit. It got so bad that car owner Dale Earnhardt ordered the No. 8 team to pack it up early, a fact his son learned on the helicopter ride home.
"It's a funny story, thinking back on it now," Earnhardt Jr. said. "But yeah, those first few trips were a real eye-opener. The racing there is nothing what you imagine, even coming up through those style of race tracks. It's just really tough and hard racing, and you've got to pick your battles. But it's a long race, and you can really just take yourself out of it early if you're not careful."
The speeds may be relatively low and the setting may be downright quaint, but beneath that charming exterior sits a short track capable of devouring drivers not familiar with it. Earnhardt had one (albeit arduous) previous start there and even came up on late model short tracks not unlike the flat half-mile oval, and was still chewed up and spit out. It all stands as a cautionary tale for the handful of drivers who this weekend are heading to the facility for the first time.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rookies Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. have never turned a lap at Martinsville in a national-series event. Neither have Camping World Truck Series drivers Darrell Wallace Jr., Jonathan Davenport, Grant Galloway, Devin Jones, Chase Elliott and Erik Jones -- the latter four of whom are teenagers. If history is any indication, all of them could be in for a rude introduction to a raw-knuckled short track that demands patience, but doesn't do much to promote it.
Earnhardt knows that firsthand. Like many drivers who came up racing late models on short tracks, he thought skills sharpened at places like Myrtle Beach Speedway would translate to Martinsville. And today, they do -- statistically, it's one of his best tracks, even if he has yet to win there. But back in his rookie season, the place seemed more like an alien landscape, and acted equally as inhospitable.
"I remember the first several races I ran there, I ran into everything. I ran into other race cars, walls, pace cars. Just about everything that could be ran into, I found it," Earnhardt said. "And you know, it was real frustrating, because I had thought of myself as a short-track driver, and I thought that I had honed these skills on these short tracks in the Southeast, and this should be where I excel the most.
"But short-track racing can really allow you to get carried away with yourself, and you forget ?? even now, even last year, we would run 100 laps and I'd have the car torn all to hell down both sides and have to remind myself, this is a longer event than you realize, and you've really got to preach patience to yourself and really rein in your emotions and your excitement, because you just really want to get in there and gouge every corner. But there's just not enough race car to do that for 500 miles."
In time, Earnhardt discovered that the get-to-the-front tactics that worked in shorter late model events didn't necessarily carry over, even if the venues shared many of the same characteristics. Martinsville also demands a level of car management -- staying off the brakes, keeping fenders clean -- that isn't necessarily a priority at lower levels.
"We've all grown up racing short tracks, half mile or less, and I don't think that that's so much the challenge as it is just managing your brakes, your car and putting yourself in position for the end of the race," said Ryan Newman, who won last year's spring race at Martinsville, and placed 41st there in his 2002 debut. "This I think is the toughest part. The toughest part for me was mostly adapting to using that middle pedal the least."
Rookies today, Newman said, may have a slight benefit in that the Generation-6 Sprint Cup car cools more effectively than its predecessors. But a driver like Patrick -- who will become the first woman to start a premier-series race at the facility -- may still be in for a wake-up call, particularly given that Martinsville hasn't hosted the Nationwide Series since 2006.
Patrick is optimistic after a recent test on the short track at Rockingham Speedway. "I thought we actually made some really big gains that day," she said. "It was fun." Patrick is even open to trying one of Martinsville's famous hot dogs -- a half of one, at least. But her crew chief knows that once the race begins, she'll be in for a totally different experience.
"It's a tough place," Tony Gibson said. "It's a tough place for any veteran to go, let alone a rookie. It's going to be a big challenge for her. It's worse than Bristol, because you're constantly in traffic and guys are constantly bumping into you and into the side of you. Martinsville will be her biggest challenge, for sure, and the focus will be just on finishing clean and learning as much as she can so we can prepare for the second time she goes to Martinsville in the fall. If she can do that, she'll be in good shape."
Martinsville has seen double-digit caution flags in 25 of its last 26 Sprint Cup events. Three-time series champion Tony Stewart, who owns Patrick's car, said he's never finished a race there without making contact with another car at some point. He wants to tell his driver everything he knows about the place -- but also realizes she's going to have to discover it all for herself.
"I'm sure there will be some things happen in the race that she's not ready for," said Stewart, who won the pole for his first Martinsville race before finishing 20th. "Ninety percent of the time it's accidental and doesn't lead to a wreck, but you get bumped, and that's something that she's not really used to yet. ? Just like anybody else's first trip to Martinsville, it's definitely a learning experience, and you can definitely leave (there) with a headache trying to figure out what you needed to do differently."
It's a timeless struggle, and one befitting the oldest facility on NASCAR's top circuit. Driving in, "nothing has changed," Earnhardt said. "You park your car in the driveway of the first house on the corner. That house has been there for I don't know how many years." The track's entrance, he added, brings him back to the 1970s. Without the souvenir rigs and the cars in the parking lots, you'd be hard-pressed to tell what decade it was.
"I love race tracks like that," he said. He even found something to love about that rotten Martinsville race he suffered through during his rookie season. At one point he restarted on the inside a lap down, and roared off to a straightaway-length advantage over the leaders. It was a sign of things to come at a track where Earnhardt now owns more top-five finishes and more laps led than anywhere else. And 13 years ago, it was a small bright spot in what would become a 36th-place finish.
"I was so proud of myself, and that's the only thing I took away from the race, and I kept trying to talk about that on the way home," Earnhardt said. "But all Dad wanted to talk about was how much I ran over, and how I needed to really learn how to run better on the short tracks."

AbstractThe effects of inflammation may not always benefit the individual. Its amplifying nature represents a highly regulated biological program, and the inflammatory microenvironment is its essential component. Growing evidence suggests that the ECM (extracellular matrix) is important for the early steps of inflammation. Versican, a ubiquitous component of the ECM, contributes to the formation of the inflammatory response and is highly regulated by cytokines. Certain cytokines exert their initial effects on versican to alter the homeostasis of the inflammatory milieu, and inappropriate production of versican may promote the next inflammatory response. Therefore, versican could be the first step in the amplification of the inflammatory response, and ongoing research of this molecule may help to explain the pathogenesis of inflammation.

Will he get grilled? will he be funny?
According to Emily Yahr of the Washington Post, President Obama will be a guest of Jon Stewart / The Daily Show on Thursday, October 18. This is an interesting booking since Stewart has highlighted the fact that, while in New York three weeks ago, the President appeared on The View but did not meet with world leaders (Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu.) Apparently all forgiven (or forgotten.)
What do you think about the President doing The Daily Show? Post your comment…
Incidentally – of course the President has an open invitation to appear ON THE RECORD at 10pm and I will even go to him to make it less inconvenient.

"Bad Boys" story as stated above, focuses on two Miami Detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence), who after confiscating one hundred million dollars worth of heroine come under fire when the drugs wind up stolen. With the drugs missing, the two lead detectives under investigation by Internal Affairs, it appears that this particular narcotics division of the Miami Police Department will be closed down for good. So, with no one on their side except for a young woman (Tea Leoni) who happened to witness a murder linked to the drugs, Mike and Marcus must strike out on their own to reaquire the drugs and bring down those responsible, if they succeed they can clear their names and keep their badges for another day, but if not it may just mean jail for the detectives.
Many critics were skeptical about whether or not two actors famous for doing comedy on network television shows could pull of being the leads in a high-profile action movie.Read more ›
"Bad Boys" would further the onscreen status of then-television show leads Will Smith and Martin Lawrence into movie stardom and would solidify Michael Bay's status as an action director.
"Bad Boys" is presented in 1080p High Definition (1:85:1). For the most part, the Blu-ray release definitely marks a much better looking version of the film. You can see the skin pores on the characters, more detail in the characters as you can see the freckles on Tea Leoni's face much more clearly. Blacks are nice and deep. Outdoor scenes are vibrant and colorful and for the most part, for a 15-year-old film, fans of the film will definitely enjoy the PQ. I didn't see any aliasing, edge enhancement or any artifacting.
"Bad Boys" shines in the lossless department. With this film being an action-driven film, there are times where you hear explosions and gun shots whizzing from left to right via the surround channels. I also noticed some shots utilizing LFE. But there was one scene where I felt it nearly blew my eardrum off because I had my system pumped up quite loudly. But the film definitely sounds incredible via lossless. Dialogue and music is clear and understandable through the front and center channels but there is good use of surround for the action segments.Read more ›

I would hate to see matches stopped so that officials could consult with TV footage,such as off sides and penaltys. But sendings off involving bad tackles could be settled by the player going to a sin bin whilst the fourth officials looks at a TV replay immediately, and either confirms the red card or allows the player to rejoin the game. The unfair sending off of a player is probably the most disadvantaged a team can be.
I have watched the video, and am still of the opinion,that must be the worst ref on the F.A.books, Chelsea should seek to pursue a claim against all who are involved in trying too smear Terry, this whole Anton Ferdinand thing is very suspect.
