Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor α3 mRNA in Rat Visual System After Monocular Deprivation
Date: August 1997
Creator: Taylor, James H. (James Harvey), 1970-
Description: In situ hybridization was used to examine effects of monocular enucleation on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit cc3 mRNA in the rat dLGNand visual cortex. After 28 days postoperative, there were no significant differences in α3 mRNA density between the contralateral (deprived) and ipsilateral (non-deprived) sides. The lack of obvious effects of visual deprivation on α3 mRNA density suggests that other factors, possibly intrinsic to dLGNand visual cortex, govern the postnatal expression of α3 mRNA.

Unique applications of cultured neuronal networks in pharmacology, toxicology, and basic neuroscience
Date: May 2001
Creator: Keefer, Edward W.
Description: This dissertation research explored the capabilities of neuronal networks grown on substrate integrated microelectrode arrays in vitro with emphasis on utilizing such preparations in three specific application domains: pharmacology and drug development, biosensors and neurotoxicology, and the study of burst and synaptic mechanisms. Chapter 1 details the testing of seven novel AChE inhibitors, demonstrating that neuronal networks rapidly detect small molecular differences in closely related compounds, and reveal information about their probable physiological effects that are not attainable through biochemical characterization alone. Chapter 2 shows how neuronal networks may be used to classify and characterize an unknown compound. The compound, trimethylol propane phosphate (TMPP) elicited changes in network activity that resembled those induced by bicuculline, a known epileptogenic. Further work determined that TMPP produces its effects on network activity through a competitive inhibition of the GABAA receptor. This demonstrates that neuronal networks can provide rapid, reliable warning of the presence of toxic substances, and from the manner in which the spontaneous activity changes provide information on the class of compound present and its potential physiological effects. Additional simple pharmacological tests can provide valuable information on primary mechanisms involved in the altered neuronal network responses. Chapter 3 explores the effects produced ...

Light Spectra Distributions in Temperate Conifer-Forest Canopy Gaps, Oregon and in Tropical Cloud-Forest Canopy, Venezuela
Date: December 1997
Creator: Monteleone, Susan Elaine
Description: Light spectra distributions were measured in two different montane forests: temperate and tropical. Spectral light measurements were made in different sized canopy gaps in the conifer forest at H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest in Oregon, USA. Researchers at Oregon State University created these gaps of 20 m, 30 m, and 50 m in diameter. In the tropical cloud forest, spectral light measurements were made in two plots that were permanently established at La Mucuy Parque Nacional in Venezuela, in collaboration with researchers at Universidad de Los Andes. In both studies, spectra and distributions of physiologically active light were analyzed: red, far-red, R/FR ratio, and blue light.

Evaluating the Habitat Requirements of the Golden Orb Mussel (Quadrula Aurea) for Conservation Purposes
Date: May 2013
Creator: Hammontree, Sarah
Description: Many freshwater mussels are imperiled, due to a number of interrelated factors such as habitat alteration, degradation of water quality, and impoundments. The Golden Orb mussel (Quadrula aurea, I. Lea, 1859) is endemic to the state of Texas and is currently a candidate for the endangered species list, as the number of known populations has been declining in recent years. Little is currently known about Q. aurea aside from basic distribution data. This study is focused on evaluating a combination of macro-habitat and micro-habitat variables to determine their influence on the distribution and density of this species. Macro-habitat variables, including dominant land cover, surface geology, and soil erodibility factor, did not have a significant relationship with mussel distributions. The best model of micro-habitat variables that impacts the Q. aurea distributions is comprised of relative substrate stability (RSS) at moderate flows and current velocity at low flows. For all mussel species in this study, current velocity at low flows is the primary variable that influences distribution. Q. aurea are associated with habitats where larger sediment particles (large gravel and cobble) help to stabilize the substrate in areas with higher current velocities. An understanding of the preferred habitats for Q. aurea can ...

Exploring the Evolutionary History of North American Prairie Grouse (Genus: Tympanuchus) Using Multi-locus Coalescent Analyses
Date: May 2013
Creator: Galla, Stephanie J.
Description: Conservation biologists are increasingly using phylogenetics as a tool to understand evolutionary relationships and taxonomic classification. The taxonomy of North American prairie grouse (sharp-tailed grouse, T. phasianellus; lesser prairie-chicken, T. pallidicinctus; greater prairie-chicken, T. cupido; including multiple subspecies) has been designated based on physical characteristics, geography, and behavior. However, previous studies have been inconclusive in determining the evolutionary history of prairie grouse based on genetic data. Therefore, additional research investigating the evolutionary history of prairie grouse is warranted. In this study, ten loci (including mitochondrial, autosomal, and Z-linked markers) were sequenced across multiple populations of prairie grouse, and both traditional and coalescent-based phylogenetic analyses were used to address the evolutionary history of this genus. Results from this study indicate that North American prairie grouse diverged in the last 200,000 years, with species-level taxa forming well-supported monophyletic clades in species tree analyses. With these results, managers of the critically endangered Attwater's prairie-chicken (T. c. attwateri) can better evaluate whether outcrossing Attwater's with greater prairie-chickens would be a viable management tool for Attwater's conservation.

Aging Is a Determinant in Anoxia Stress Tolerance in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Date: May 2013
Creator: Goy, Jo M.
Description: Oxygen availability is critical for survival for most organisms. The nematode, C. elegans, has been useful for studying genetic regulation of anoxia tolerance due to the oxygen deprivation response mechanisms shared with other metazoans. Studies examining long-term anoxia (72h, LTA) tolerance have only been conducted at adult day 1. To investigate the effect of aging on anoxia tolerance wild-type and mutant strains were exposed to LTA between adult day 1 and day 9. Wild-type isolates and daf-16(mu86) (FOXO transcription factor regulated by insulin-signaling) and aak-2(gt33) (catalytic subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase) strains were anoxia sensitive at day 1 and displayed increased LTA tolerance with aging correlated with reproductive senescence followed by a decline in survivorhsip through day 9. The daf-2(e1370) (insulin receptor homologue of C. elegans), glp-1(e2141) (a lin-12/Notch receptor) and fog-2(q71) (required for spermatogenesis) strains were LTA-tolerant through day 5. I conclude that aging influences LTA-tolerance in a strain- and age-dependent manner. In addition to being LTA-tolerant the daf-2(e1370) and glp-1(e2141) strains have a longevity phenotype that is suppressed by loss of kri-1 or daf-12. While loss of kri-1 did not suppress the LTA-tolerant phenotype of glp-1(e2141) at day 1 the portion of impaired survivors increased at day 3 ...

Examination of the Relationship Between Glucuronic Acid and Vascular Damage in Rats
Date: May 2013
Creator: Moore, Ryan
Description: The goal of this experiment was to examine the role of glucuronic acid in the development of vascular damage in the kidneys and retinas of diabetic individuals. Glucuronic acid was provided to rats in their water at various concentrations in order to increase plasma levels of the compound. Kidneys and retinas were excised and compared to control specimens using microscopy to determine the effect of elevated blood glucuronic acid levels on the occurrence of microaneurysms in renal capillary networks. No differences were seen between the treatment and control groups. Further study needs to be conducted to determine a more suitable time frame for this experiment.

Regulation of Escherichia coli pyrBI Gene Expression in Pseudomonas fluorescens
Date: May 1995
Creator: Shen, Weiping
Description: Pseudomonas fluorescens does not appear to regulate the enzymes of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis at the level of gene expression. Little or no apparent repression of pyr gene expression is observed upon addition of exogenous pyrimidines to the growth medium. The Escherichia coli pyrBI genes for aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) were sized down and cloned into the broad host range plasmid, pKT230. Upon introduction into a P.fluorescenspyrB mutant strain, ATCase showed repression in response to exogenously fed pyrimidine compounds. Thus, it was possible to bring about changes in pyrimidine nucleotide pool levels and in transcriptional regulation of gene expression at the same time.

Genetic Interest Assessment
Date: May 2013
Creator: Doughney, Erin
Description: Genetics is becoming increasingly integrated into peoples' lives. Different measures have been taken to try and better genetics education. This thesis examined undergraduate students at the University of North Texas not majoring in the life sciences interest in genetic concepts through the means of a Likert style survey. ANOVA analysis showed there was variation amongst the interest level in different genetic concepts. In addition age and lecture were also analyzed as contributing factors to students' interest. Both age and lecture were evaluated to see if they contributed to the interest of students in genetic concepts and neither showed statistical significance. The Genetic Interest Assessment (GIA) serves to help mediate the gap between genetic curriculum and students' interest.

Age-Dependent Effects Of Chronic GABAA Receptor Blockade In Barrel Cortex
Date: May 2001
Creator: Gargan, Lynn
Description: GABAA receptor binding is transiently increased in rat whisker barrels during the second postnatal week, at a time when neurons in the developing rat cortex are vulnerable to excitotoxic effects. To test whether these GABAA receptors might serve to protect neurons from excessive excitatory input, polymer implants containing the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline were placed over barrel cortex for a 4-day period in young (postnatal days 8 - 12) and adult rats. In the cortex of young, but not adult rats, the chronic blockade of GABAA receptors resulted in substantial tissue loss and neuron loss. The greater loss of neurons in young rats supports the hypothesis that a high density of GABAA receptors protects neurons from excessive excitatory input during a sensitive period in development.

Primary Cilia in the Oligodendrocyte Lineage
Date: May 2013
Creator: Hao, Yung-Chia
Description: oligodendrocytes migrate from the corpus callosum into the overlying cortex. The incidence of cilia did not change markedly across age groups, and did not vary consistently with the number of processes per cell, which was used as an indication of the maturation stage of OPCs and young OLs. The mean percent of Olig1 immunopositive (Olig1+) cells having cilia across ages was 33.1% + 16.5%, with all ages combined. In O4+ cells of these mice, 56.7 + 3.6% had primary cilia. If it is the case that adult OLs do not have cilia, the point in the lineage when primary cilia are lost is still unknown. Adult mice that had been injected with cyclopamine to block cilia-dependent Shh signaling were examined to determine whether the rate of generating new OPCs was influenced. In the CC of control mice, the numerical density of Olig1+/BrdU+ cells was 1.29 + 0.07/mm2 was reduced to 0.68 + 0.38/mm2 in the cyclopamine-injected group, and the numerical density of all BrdU+ cells (including both Olig1+ and Olig1- cells) of 4.55 + 1.50/mm2 in the control group was reduced to 3.14 + 1.27/mm2 in the cyclopamine-injected group. However, there were only 2 mice in each group and the ...

Automated Low-cost Instrument for Measuring Total Column Ozone
Date: May 2006
Creator: Nebgen, Gilbert Bernard
Description: Networks of ground-based and satellite borne instruments to measure ultraviolet (UV) sunlight and total column ozone have greatly contributed to an understanding of increased amounts of UV reaching the surface of the Earth caused by stratospheric ozone depletion. Increased UV radiation has important potential effects on human health, and agricultural and ecological systems. Observations from these networks make it possible to monitor total ozone decreases and to predict ozone recovery trends due to global efforts to curb the use of products releasing chemicals harmful to the ozone layer. Thus, continued and expanded global monitoring of ozone and UV is needed. However, existing automatic stratospheric ozone monitors are complex and expensive instruments. The main objective of this research was the development of a low-cost fully automated total column ozone monitoring instrument which, because of its affordability, will increase the number of instruments available for ground-based observations. The new instrument is based on a high-resolution fiber optic spectrometer, coupled with fiber optics that are precisely aimed by a pan and tilt positioning mechanism and with controlling programs written in commonly available software platforms which run on a personal computer. This project makes use of novel low-cost fiber optic spectrometer technology. A cost ...

The Use of Genetic Polymorphisms and Discriminant Analysis in Evaluating Genetic Polymorphisms as a Predictor of Population
Date: May 2002
Creator: Howell, Bruce F.
Description: Discriminant analysis is a procedure for identifying the relationships between qualitative criterion variables and quantitative predictor variables. Data bases of genetic polymorphisms are currently available that group such polymorphisms by ethnic origin or nationality. Such information could be useful to entities that base financial determinations upon predictions of disease or to medical researchers who wish to target prevention and treatment to population groups. While the use of genetic information to make such determinations is unlawful in states and confidentiality and privacy concerns abound, methods for human "redlining" may occur. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the efficacy of the relationship of certain genetic information to ethnicity to determine if a statistical analysis can provide information concerning such relationship. The use of the statistical technique of discriminant analysis provides a tool for examining such relationship.

Neuronal Network Analyses in vitro of Acute Individual and Combined Responses to Fluoxetine and Ethanol
Date: August 2002
Creator: Xia,Yun
Description: Embryonic murine neuronal networks cultured on microelectrode arrays were used to quantify acute electrophysiological effects of fluoxetine and ethanol. Spontaneously active frontal cortex cultures showed highly repeatable, dose-dependent sensitivities to both compounds. Cultures began to respond to fluoxetine at 3 µM and were shut off at 10-16 µM. EC50s mean ± S.D. for spike and burst rates were 4.1 ± 1.5 µM and 4.5 ± 1.1 µM (n=14). The fluoxetine inhibition was reversible and without effect on action potential wave shapes. Ethanol showed initial inhibition at 20 mM, with spike and burst rate EC50s at 52.0 ± 17.4 mM and 56.0 ± 17.0 mM (n=15). Ethanol concentrations above 100 -140 mM led to cessation of activity. Although ethanol did not change the shape and amplitude of action potentials, unit specific effects were found. The combined application of ethanol and fluoxetine was additive. Ethanol did not potentiate the effect of fluoxetine.

Functional Neural Toxicity and Endocrine Responses in Mice Following Naphthalene Exposure
Date: August 2010
Creator: Colbert, Crystal
Description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a well studied and diverse class of environmental toxicants. PAHs act via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and studies have suggested that PAHs may elicit neurological and estrogenic effects. Doses of PAHs between 50 to 150 ppm may elicit neurotoxicity in rodent models. The present study investigated the effects of naphthalene on in vivo steroidogenesis in Swiss Webster male mice, and in vitro neural function of Balb-C/ICR mice frontal cortex neurons. These data suggest that naphthalene may not elicit steroidogenic effects at concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 25 mg/kg/day, following a 7 day subcutaneous dosing regime. In addition, naphthalene may cause functional toxicity of frontal cortex neurons at concentrations of 32 to 160 ppm naphthalene.

A Physiological Age-Grading System for Female Hydrellia pakistanae Deonier (Diptera: Ephydridae)
Date: December 2002
Creator: Lenz, Jennifer Marie
Description: Conflicting opinions about the effectiveness of H. pakistanae as a biological control agent for hydrilla prompt researchers to find a method for assessing the fly's success. Developing a physiological age-grading system for the fly using ovarian morphology to detect changes in reproductive activity is useful for evaluating reproductive status of the fly in field populations. Changes in the appearance of follicular relics in ovaries with oviposition provide a reliable method to estimate fecundity. Characteristics of follicular relics were used to develop a system with eight physiological age classes, three nulliparous and five parous. Changes that occur in the fat body were used to assist in classification of nulliparous females or those with low egg counts.

Studies on Microorganisms in Jet Aircraft Fuel Systems
Date: May 1970
Creator: Crum, Morris Glenn
Description: Laboratory and field investigations during the past ten years have demonstrated that certain microorganisms can cause deleterious effects in jet fuel tank systems. These investigations have brought about new concepts concerning the mechanisms of utilization of certain constituents in jet fuel tanks by microorganisms. Since the presence of microorganisms is inevitable in fuel systems, research efforts have been directed towards identification and determination of the types of microorganisms which can utilize jet fuel hydrocarbons, fuel additives, polyurethane foam structural materials, and particular hydrocarbons present in the fuel.

Police nab suspect in transit center shooting
On Jan. 23, William Muhammad turned himself in to Federal Way police
investigators, who were able to interview Muhammad, age 24, regarding the shooting incident at the Metro Transit Center in Federal Way.
At 7 p.m. Jan. 18, a 38-year-old Darrel Lenea Miller of White Center was shot. She later died at Harborview Medical Center as a result of the gunshot wound, reports said.
Based on the Federal Way Police Departments investigation, there was no direct connection between the victim and the individuals who were involved in a dispute at the scene. The investigation is ongoing.
Students and alcohol
Four Decatur High School students were suspended from school for four days and barred from extra-curricular activities indefinitely after a Jan. 19 incident at Decaturs Winter Ball dance.
The four students, all girls, were given minors in possession of alcohol citations and released to their parents, according to a police report.
The students were noted to be under the influence (at the dance), said Federal Way school district spokeswoman Diane Turner. By law, we have to contact police.
According to Decatur Principal Tom Leacy, a police officer was on duty at the Winter Ball dance and the four students were given breathalyzer tests. He also said at least two of the students were involved in extracurricular activities at Decatur and under district policy, they shall be immediately ineligible for interscholastic competition for a term of 60 school days.
Under district policy, students will be disciplined when there is reasonable cause to believe they have violated the prohibition against possession or use of alcohol. The penalty is suspension from school for a minimum of 20 days and a parent conference.
However, the suspension may be modified, which happened in this case, if a student participates in an assessment by an agency approved by the Federal Way School District. The district requires release of the assessment information and that the student follows the assessment recommendation(s). If the student does not complete the recommendation(s) of the assessment, any remaining suspension days will go into effect.

I am on the board of directors for Sage Cottage Montessori Preschool, currently the only preschool in Los Alamos that accepts state-aid children. About six years ago, Cheri Host, the former owner and executive director (now deceased), decided to make Sage Cottage a nonprofit preschool so that she could provide a place for low-income children and request grants and donations to cover the cost differential.
The aid provided by the state for childcare covers only a fraction of the costs for a full-time child, and because of various circumstances most of these children are not full-time.
Currently, Sage Cottage has four state-aid children. Sage Cottage receives some generous support from Casa Mesita, Los Alamos National Bank, Smith's Earn and Learn, and from designated giving through United Way. But support over the past several years has decreased, jeopardizing our ability to continue to provide this necessary service to our community.
Those who would like to support this cause can make a tax-deductible donation by check to Sage Cottage, 142 Meadow Lane, Los Alamos, NM.
If you would like more information about Sage Cottage, call Director Sandra Sorensen at 672-0534.
We have just experienced one of the many benefits of living in Los Alamos. Our loss of a large piñon tree resulted in a very sizable pile of limbs and debris.

Sunday evening, a crowd joined the Los Alamos Historical Society at the Time Out Pizzeria near the Bradbury Science Museum to watch and discuss the first episode of the "Manhattan" TV series. The series has potential.
The show is a serious effort, the production values are good, it captures the times in national feeling and even in cars and music, it begins to tell many stories humanly, and the first episode effectively raises conflicts of the times. Initial conflicts are the tensions between civilians and the military; the deserty, rudimentary setting; the intense race to get the bomb first while so many people die per week in the war; and morality, both of creating super bombs and of defending the nation and families.
We will see where the stories go.

Saturday is the fourth annual celebration of National Day of the Cowboy in New Mexico.
Cowboys have been part of New Mexico history even before it became a state, so it seems very appropriate to honor their past and current contributions. Keeping the western way of life is an important part of our cultural heritage.
There are 6,800 livestock producing ranches in New Mexico and with the support organizations and services they employ 18,000 people and produce about $2.1 billion in economic activity each year.
Wear a cowboy hat on Saturday to help recognize and appreciate cowboys and cowgirls. Check out facebook.com/dayofthecowboynewmexico for details on celebrations in northern New Mexico.

With the release of Dystopia, the world will experience a new Iced Earth -- a lean, mean kick-ass-and-take-names Iced Earth. So we felt it was time for a new Iced Earth web site.
We've wanted to make it more user-friendly, anyway. But -- most importantly -- we've wanted to add new features (such as a music player and band member bios). So we did.
This is only the first phase. We have two or three more surprises in store for the Iced Earth web site.
So visit us again in the near future.
In the meantime, take a look around.
In this -- Webisode #4 in an exclusive series of 5 -- you get to watch as vocalist Stu Block, ICED EARTH leader Jon Schaffer, and studio wizard Jim Morris bring the song "Anthem" to life. Pay close attention as Jim reveals one of the secrets to ICED EARTH's powerful recorded sound -- mastering to both digital and analog, and then comparing the two to achieve the perfect finished sound. Also, Jon discusses Matt's last concert with the band, Wacken Open Air, 2011. Dystopia, ICED EARTH's 10th studio album, will be released October 17th in Europe and October 18th in North America, with several special editions available for collectors.
Dystopia – Iced Earth's 10th studio album – won't be released until October 18th, but Revolver readers will get a taste of the sonic onslaught to come with an exclusive airing of "Dystopia", the album's title track, on Thursday, October 6th.
The song can be heard here: http://www.revolvermag.com/?p=24468
"I'm proud to debut 'Dystopia' on Revolvermag.com," said Iced Earth founder Jon Schaffer. "I hope Revolverreaders like it as much as we do."
If the rave reviews piling up worldwide are any indication, they will:
Rock Hard Magazine "Album of the Month."
Metal Hammer Germany "…the album is a classic…"
Powerplay (UK): "…"Dystopia" is a great album from a re-energised band…"
Dystopiais scheduled for release in Europe on October 17th, and in the U.S. on October 18th both via Century Media. Two bonus tracks have been recorded for inclusion on special editions of the album.
The release of Dystopia will be followed by the most extensive world tour Iced Earth has ever undertaken. See the Tour page for details.
Just what does it take to create those monstrous albums by ICED EARTH? In this -- webisode #3 in an exclusive series of 5 -- studio wizard Jim Morris and ICED EARTH leader Jon Schaffer share secrets to their success -- including the biggest secret of all: "Stop being a pussy." Plus, Jim and Jon reveal what, at the end of the day, sells tickets to an ICED EARTH show. By the end of these four-and-a-half minutes, you'll know what these two long-time friends -- under tight deadline pressure -- laugh about to relieve the stress of creating Dystopia, ICED EARTH's 10th studio album.
If you've ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in the recording studio with ICED EARTH, now's your chance. In this episode, you are given a rare (and exclusive!) five minutes in the studio with the iconic American metal band. Watch as Jon Schaffer, Stu Block, and Jim Morris mix "Dark City," a track from ICED EARTH's forthcoming album Dystopia, which was just named "album of the month" by Germany's prestigious Rock Hard magazine. Just how powerful is Stu Block's voice? Watch -- and hear -- for yourself. Dystopia will be in stores on October 17th (EU) & October 18th (US).
Check out the behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Dystopia. This is the first of five webisodes that will be uploaded to Century Media's Official YouTube channel. So stay tuned!
Fury UK and White Wizzard will join Iced Earth on the European leg of the legendary metal band's 2011-2012 World Dystopia Tour.
Fury UK, a three-piece British metal band that combines the rawness of NWOBM with an aggressive power-metal vibe, has released three full-length albums, with Way of Life being their most recent. Fury UK will open the show. The band's official website is here.
American heavy-metal band White Wizzard – with riffs, attitude, and swagger to burn – will tear it up after Fury UK leaves the stage. White Wizzard has released two EPs and an album titled Over the Top. A new album (Flying Tigers) is due later this month. The band's official website is here.
"I'm really looking forward to touring with these guys," said Iced Earth main man Jon Schaffer. "Both bands bring a lot of energy to the table. I know fans will enjoy seeing them as much as we will."
Dystopia, Iced Earth's 10th studio album, is scheduled for release in Europe on October 17th, and in the U.S. on October 18th, both via Century Media. Two bonus tracks have also been recorded for inclusion on special editions of the album. Dystopia is now available for pre-order worldwide.
The release of Dystopia will be followed by the most extensive world tour Iced Earth has ever undertaken.
The European leg of the 2011-2012 World Dystopia Tour has been posted on Iced Earth's Tour page, as well as on all of its official social-media sites. The tour begins October 30th in Bochum, Germany.
A concert in Cyprus – a first for Iced Earth – was just announced. The date is December 15th, 2011.

New morphological and neuropathological findings in schizophrenia.
These correlate approximately with the stage 1 and stage 1 classifications of online pharmacy viagra south africa Bessems and Vermeulen (3). As will be discussed further below, the pathological sequelae of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity are likely to be considerably more complex than outlined by Prescott in 1993. For ease of study, the organ damage produced by acetaminophen can be subdivided into two components, namely an initial cell death phase followed by a delayed phase. These will be placed into perspective with the considerable body of work available on acetaminophen-mediated hepatotoxicity, where possible. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity represent an active area of research with considerable relevance to other drug- and chemically induced injuries.
The intrinsic phase is widely believed to result from the loss of a critical cellular function(s) after covalent modification of an important target protein or proteins. Although many biochemical parameters associated with the typical centrilobular hepatocyte death observed after acetaminophen overdose have been studied, 372 Nelson and Bruschi especially in animal systems, the consequences of such alterations to cellular homeostasis are still mostly unknown. In particular those utilizing transgenic or knockout approaches, in this section more recent studies will be reviewed.

Old Lyme — Thanks to an observant and persistent East Lyme resident, the Connecticut state flag is no longer flying higher than the American flag outside the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's marine headquarters on Ferry Road.
Last week, Joseph Mingo contacted DEEP after visiting the headquarters with his wife, Barbara, to walk its boardwalk, which extends along the Connecticut River. They noticed that the American flag, flown on a diagonal pole off the main center flagpole, was flying at a lower elevation than the state flag, which was on the center pole.
"No flag can fly higher than the American flag," Mingo said Friday. He said he called an official at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton and received confirmation that the flags at DEEP were not being flown according to proper flag protocol.
In its initial response to Mingo last Monday, DEEP said that because the Old Lyme office is a maritime facility with a maritime-style flagpole, it flew the American flag on the diagonal "gaff" pole, a place of honor on a ship that points in the direction the ship is heading. In an email to Mingo, DEEP Deputy Commissioner Susan Whalen said DEEP was following the directions of a letter from the American Legion about flag etiquette, and attached a copy of the letter to her message to Mingo.
Last Wednesday, Aluin Morales, protocol officer at the sub base, contacted Whalen and also sent her an email message. He said that while DEEP is correct in flying the American flag in the "gaff" position, the state flag should be flown from the lower "yardarm" position perpendicular to the center pole and lower than the "gaff." Only triangular pennants should be flown on the center pole higher than the American flag, Morales said. The pennants would indicate "something of importance taking place at that very moment," such as storm warnings, small craft warnings and hurricane warnings, he said.
"Most pennants are significantly smaller than flags (and) they are usually shaped like a triangle or a swallow-tail or rather small squares, never rectangular," he wrote.
On Thursday, DEEP staff moved the state flag from the center pole to the yardarm position. No flag or pennant is currently being flown on the center pole, said Dwayne Gardner, DEEP spokesman.
Mingo said that he is satisfied that DEEP has moved the state flag.
"I'm very happy, except that they haven't acknowledged anything to me," he said.
He added that he has been driving to other local public places to check how the American flag is being flown, and wants more people to become educated about proper flag protocol.

JACKSON, MI -- Stupidity prevented me from paying attention when Roger Roty first shared sage advice for every homeowner.
"Go to your township or city assessor and get your property record card," Roty told me a few years ago.
Property whozit card? I had no clue.
For many years, Roty, who lives in Jackson, was a property appraiser. He worked in the Jackson County Equalization office for many more years. He handled building permits for a township in Ingham County. In retirement, he sometimes helps friends appeal tax assessments.
The man knows everything about mechanics and formulas tax assessors use to set property values. Yet I was too ignorant or lazy to follow his advice.
My attitude changed recently because I met a Jackson County taxpayer who asked for his property record card two years ago. He discovered mistakes that raised the assessed value of his house by thousands of dollars. Such mistakes usually can be fixed for the future, but not the past.
Roty can tell horror stories along those lines.
"In the 1980s, there was a farmer who had 10 different properties," Roty said. "When the tax bills came, he gave them to his accountant to pay. Then one year he looked at it and saw he was paying tax on a property he did not even own.
"It's your job to make sure you really owe the taxes you pay," Roty said. "That's how the system works."
To know with certainty that you really owe taxes you pay, you must check the property record card, which contains nuts-and-bolts calculations applied by tax assessors to place value on property.
"Those things can have mistakes," Roty said.
"Average taxpayers do not know what they are being taxed on. Sure, you know they are taxing you on your property, but do you know how they are deciding what it is worth?"
Finally convinced, I obtained a copy of my own card from the township assessor.
On it were several arguable assumptions about the supposed value of my windblown country estate, and one small but certain mistake. The assessor added $335 to my house's value (before depreciation) for a vented range hood that does not exist. I figure that nonexistent range hood has cost me a few tax dollars every year for two decades.
Roty believes property record cards are so important assessors ought to be required by law to mail them to taxpayers at least once a decade.
Law or no law, heed his sage advice.
Go to your township or city assessor and request a copy of your property record card. It's your right, and it is smart.

Woman convicted of killing husband in nursing homethe associated press | July 19,2014MONTPELIER Officials say an 81-year-old Vermont woman convicted in 2006 of beating her husband to death has been released to a nursing home because of a terminal or debilitating illness.
Hope Schreiner is the states oldest female inmate and its second-oldest inmate in custody.
Dean George, chairman of the Vermont Parole Board, said the Department of Corrections made the decision to grant Schreiner medical furlough.
Seventy-eight-year-old Robert Schreiner was found dead in his West Townshend driveway in June 2004. Prosecutors say Schreiner killed her ailing husband because she was tired of caring for him and wanted to start a new life. Schreiner said she found her husbands body after returning home from a morning of running errands.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A new coalition of 18 organizations said Wednesday it will push lawmakers and a new...

Skip to comments.Obama Supports Government Assistance for Auto Industry, Emanuel Says (SUVs and trucks are doomed)
Posted on 11/09/2008 11:13:31 AM PST by tobyhill
In his first interview since joining the Barack Obama team, incoming White House Chief of Staff Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., said this morning that Obama supports government assistance for the auto industry using existing authority.
"First the auto industry is an essential part of our economy and an essential part of our industrial base," Emanuel said in a "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" interview.
"Second they should look at accelerating the $25 billion that was offered for re-tooling for the industry going forward.
Third, there are other authorities within the administration that they should use at this time and fourth, President-elect Obama has asked his economic team to look at different options at what it takes to help bridge the auto industry so not only are they apart of a revived economy but part of an energy policy where America is less dependent of foreign oil."
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
Of course. He's indebted to the UAW.
Obama's fault.
Once Obama-economics are instituted, you won't need pickup trucks. There won't be any work.
What will I do with my $100.000 (comparatively cheap) motorhome? What will my friends do with their $750,000 rig in which they live and travel 24/7/365?
How about my SIL who has a small truck to perform his work chores. How about my daughter's company that uses a 'big rig' to buy/sell wholesale tomatos? How about the hundreds of Wal-Mart trucks delivering from warehouse to store?
The auto industry are in their current position for a reason. How does giving them 50 billion change anything? If they don't change what brought them to this place, they will be right back where they are now after they lose the bailout money.
If a business is failing, it needs to...
A new "People's car" much like the Soviet Zaporozhets or a Chinese Geeley. Little cars that get 44 mpg and go 26 mph.
What will I do with my $100.000 (comparatively cheap) motorhome? What will my friends do with their $750,000 rig in which they live and travel 24/7/365?
How about my SIL who has a small truck to perform his work chores. How about my daughter's company that uses a 'big rig' to buy/sell wholesale tomatos? How about the hundreds of Wal-Mart trucks delivering from warehouse to store?
Someone has to pay for those salaries, pensions and insurance promised by a bankrupt auto industry.
Anybody heard that 10 Billion will go to the Unions supposedly for health care of Union members?
Sure, I'm going to put around the Riverside county hill country with a Hyundai 4 cylinder enviro-friendly piece of crap. Bail out Detroit, and dump on their products. The audacity of hypocrisy.
Obama will give up looking for another job. We will give up all our money and freedoms
That works too. Classic. Sleek. Priced for everyone.
Although Trabants had been exported from East Germany, they became well-known in the West after the fall of the Berlin Wall when many were abandoned by their Eastern owners after migrating westward. News reports inaccurately described them as having cardboard bodies. This is likely due to the fact that the body of the Trabant was Duroplast, a material that, in East German production, often made use of varying quantities of different fibers, such as cotton, or occasionally paper.
Them makin'em, and us buyin'em, is two different things.
Is enough for the masses. White for the People's and black for the gobermint. Black Caddies.
Trabant 600 Wagon
At the end of 2002, General Motors, the company with the largest workforce and therefore the greatest pension obligation, had $39 billion in pension assets.
A major UAW goal in pension negotiations is to provide basic lifetime pension benefits that replace a reasonable percent of the workers pre-retirement income. This is part of the three-legged stool of retirement security, which includes a pension, government Social Security benefits and personal savings.
October 22, 2007
Under GM's new contract with the UAW, new hires for nonproduction jobs will earn $15.30 in base pay after initially getting $14-an-hour training pay. Including health insurance and a 401(k)-style pension plan, the new hires will make $25.65 an hour, GM said.
Existing GM hourly employees earn base wages of $28.12 an hour. Including health insurance ...

GM Says Health Care Obligation Hit $67.5B
GM currently pays health care expenses for 450,000 retirees
March 7, 2006
GM retirees balk at higher health care costs
General Motors Corp. retirees asked a federal judge Monday to reject a settlement that would require them to pay more for their health care, saying it violates their contracts. But GM and the United Auto Workers said the agreement is critical to the struggling automaker's future. "This is the only hope that there is that GM will be able to continue to survive," said Julia Penny Clark, an attorney for the UAW. "GM is at risk of not being able to provide these benefits."
Next time America needs to manufacture a bunch of main battle tanks in an extreme hurry — there will be some posters on this board who will be happy, our auto industry is getting some support right now.
none of GM's management miscues was so damaging to its long-term fate as the rich pensions and health care that robbed [GM] of its financial flexibility and ultimately, of its cash. ... Detroit was too flush to envision it would ever face a financial strain. ... [GM] got into the dubious habit of steadily increasing worker benefits. In the '90s, the consequences of maintaining a corporate welfare state became too obvious to ignore. ... GM acknowledged it its most recent annual report that from 1993 to 2007 it spent $103 billion 'to fund legacy pensions and retire health care.'
Maybe he should suggest a $700 billion bail out.
The government gives them money. The government tells them what to build.
UAW urges public to oppose House bill that harms pensions - 12/06/05
The U.S. House is about to take up a pensions bill that the United Auto Workers says will outlaw early retirement benefits in plant closing and will freeze the pension benefits of hundreds of thousands of workers in well-funded plans by changing accounting rules. Alan Reuther is Legislative Director for the UAW.
[Alan Reuther 1] : "These proposals we think are being pushed by people who want to get rid of defined benefit pensions plans. And that's why they're pushing these counterproductive ideas."
"We're asking people to call their members of Congress and to urge them to oppose this pension bill and to send a strong message that it's not right to be freezing the pensions of workers and retirees.
the all new GM HUGO is here! (A Yugo named after O's best friend Chavez.)
Emmanuel is a moron who doesn't understand anything except the nice cushy office he works out of.
Of course if he had a lick of common sense, he would realize that the work crews that built his office, home, etc... relied on trucks.
indebted to the UAW.
There you go. It's the UAW goons that got the corporate boytoy elected...they and all the union comrades out there
Exactly. Obama wants to reward and encourage bad management and failure.
With our money.
"Let Chrysler die"
Makes sense, but we are moving to liberal fascism/big government conservatism.
In the old days these companies would look to banks for loans. Banks are for the little people these days, the big guys go for the govt. moolah, while the class warriors are distracted by obsessions with unions.
Some UAW union guy hearing this is booking an extra 2 week vacation to Hawaii, purchasing a new ski-doo, reconsidering that vacation home, getting braces for the kids and putting an extra $200 down on the Lions.
That must be the Sports Model w/ racing stripe.
Translation: We don't want black riots on the streets of Detroit: It just wouldn't look good if there were rioting given that Obama won....
Not to worry. They'll be cranked out in peace-loving, free and wonderful paradise of the democratic People's Republic of China, a.k.a Red China.
But hurry! GM can help Red China more with some of the money now!
General Motors Aims to Raise Stake in China Venture
"Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp., the biggest overseas automaker in China, is in talks with a local partner to increase its stake in a venture that produces vans and light trucks under the Wuling brand.
The U.S. automaker is seeking to buy additional shares in SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Hu Maoyuan, chairman of SAIC Motor Corp., said yesterday in an interview in Tianjin. SAIC is the majority shareholder of the venture with 50.1 percent, GM owns 34 percent and Liuzhou Wuling Motors Co. holds the rest. . . . "
This is a payout to the union voters that put Obama in power. All "bailouts" in future will buy votes for Obama's re-election.
So how does this position jibe with the fact that their government wants to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on "green" projects designed to lower "greenhouse gases"? If you jack up the carbon taxes, the first ones to suffer will be the Detroit automakers.
I heard Kudlow talking about that on the radio yesteray
If you guys were old enough, this is what you would know.
Our auto manufacturers are in the mess they are in for the same reason the banks are in trouble. Too much government.
In WWII, the NLRB required the major manufacturers doing war work to have a union shop.
Once they had their hooks in, they demanded more and more and more.
After the war, they threatened strikes at every drop of the hat. Business was booming and the presidents of the auto industry had no choice but to go along with the unions. How can the president of a stockholder company survive the next election of officers if he shut the company down for 6 months or a year? He couldn't.
At the same time, a machinery company I represented shut down for 6 months in a fight with the union. They could do it because it was family held. Everyone was in agreement to lose substantial business to combat unrealistic demands.
Now add to the union bleeding them, the EPA and other government burdens added later, including the present one that they must have fleet average of 35 miles per gallon by ...when? I think 2012, but I am not sure.
The point is that no management no matter how astute could have steered our auto industry through all of that crap and ended up anywhere except where they are today.
The construction industry will cease to exist without trucks to haul their materials and tools.
How about agriculture?
Many rural and mountain people rely on trucks and four wheel drive for their safety. When you are traveling the back dirt roads of the forest, you need a heavy vehicle to get you out of potentially dangerous situations - like pulling a tree from the road or passing through rutted or muddly places. Farmers also need something substantial for the fields for winter feeding (ranch truck.) Others need 4-wheel drive for snow - particularly when all roads are not immediately ploughed.
I could not get up my driveway without a vehicle with high clearance and 4 wheel drive in the winter. A midget car would not survive here.
You might end up living in it!
Simple. All future cars from the Big 3 will be "green" cars.
You want our money? You adhere to our demands!
It won't matter a whit if Americans want to buy them (or something else) or not. It's called a "command economy". For specific guidance, look to the role of specifications used in current government contracts. No deviation from spec is allowed. You make it like that and that's it. Otherwise, no money!
No doubt it will soon be set up on a 5 Year Plan...
This auto bailout needs to go through. It cost a lot to retool for the new 15,000 lb, 500 HP Escalade hybrid being planned for 2010. This first 50 billion installment will keep the auto industry alive through June 2009 at which time another bailout will be needed in order to finance the 2010 rollout. GM claims this escalade will be positioned to compete directly with Ford's new MONSTER SUV also being rolled out in 2010, a 17,000 lb, 600 HP luxury SUV that seats 2 but offers bowling, 60 inch TV and other amenities.
Good move we can but Asian SUVs. The reason for not having an SUV is gong away.

Some people are there for the Orchard Rd shopping strip. Some to enjoy a singapore sling at Raffles Hotel. Some just to relax by a swimming pool while taking a break from a long flight to Europe. Me? When in Singapore, I go on a pilgrimage. My journey takes me to Changi Museum, which is not far from the airport. It commemorates those who were imprisoned during World War II after Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942. As 2012 is the 70th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore, it felt especially appropriate for me to revisit this little museum in memory of a long-dead family member who was interned in Changi Prison.
My aunt Gladys Tompkins (1893-1984), from Hamilton, left a poignant legacy of water colour paintings from her three and a half years of internment. Our family donated copies to Changi Museum when it opened in 2001 (the originals are with the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington).
My aunt nursed in Malaya (as it was then) during the first three years of the war when the conflict seemed a long way away. But everything changed when Japan attacked. There was shelling and bombardment day and night. My aunt, with many others, rushed south to Singapore, where the bombing continued until the fateful day of capitulation in February 1942. She went into internment in March 1942. Among the few possessions she managed to take with her was a box of watercolour paints. They became her lifeline.
The museum is small and it focuses on those desperate times leading up to, and after, the Fall of Singapore. Black and white photos, letters, personal possessions, drawings and paintings are a reminder of the grim lives of the men in the military prison at Changi; the horror of the Thailand- Burma Death Railway; the shocking treatment meted out to the civilian population; and the tough day-to-day experiences of the civilian internees in their separate male and female prisons over those years.
A special corner is devoted to paintings and drawings by both civilian and military prisoners. The lives of these artists are also outlined here, including that of well-known artist Ronald Searle, who was in Changi Prison before being sent to work on the Death Railway.
Several of my aunt's watercolours are displayed in this section and I'm shown many of her other works, mounted on board, behind the scenes. She painted the prison building in both daytime and night-time; the view through her prison bars; the different angles of the prison roof; a sentry box; the prison courtyard and the "clothesline dormitory" where the women draped their mosquito nets over an outdoor clothesline and slept beneath them.
Several paintings show the attempts she and her friends made to grow fruit from pips or seedlings – papaya and banana were especially successful. Fruit was so precious in the prison that when it was ripening, she or a friend would sleep beside it to guard against theft. One of her works, Moonlight Scene, won her a "medal" in a prison exhibition (the medal was a piece of tin, carefully engraved).
She even painted the prison dustbins, which provided a bizarre meeting place for husbands and wives or friends. Although meetings or communication between men and women were permissible in the very early days behind bars, it was soon banned. However, by careful rostering for "rubbish duty" in the camps, a couple could enjoy a few moments together.
Most often my aunt painted the Crypt – the basement room where she and seven friends lived and slept for nearly three years. Later paintings showed Sime Road Camp, where they spent their last year of internment.
Among the most touching exhibits in the museum are the replica Changi quilts that the women got permission to make as gifts for the male internees. Individual squares were embroidered and signed, their signatures giving the vital information to their men that they were alive. My aunt, who was unmarried, created many of the designs.
In a quiet peaceful part of the museum is a replica of the Changi Murals – religious scenes painted by a prisoner on the walls of a chapel in the men's prison. After the war, they were plastered over and forgotten, but during renovations in 1958 they were rediscovered and restored, with replicas reproduced in the museum.
Also in the museum is my aunt's book, Three Wasted Years: Women in Changi Prison, which was published in 1977 when she was 82 and almost blind. It is dedicated to my father. In it, she describes her working years in Johore; the mayhem and chaos as the war caught up with them; the flight to "Fortress Singapore"; and her long years of internment.
My last stop in the museum is at the adjoining chapel. This little building is a reconstruction of the one prisoners built in prison. It always has tributes from descendants of those who suffered in Changi. I add my aunt's name to the tribute board.
On a previous visit, I experienced first-hand the respect present-day Singaporeans have for those commemorated here. Chatting to the taxi driver on the way back to my hotel, I told him why I had been visiting Changi Museum. When I offered him the fare, he shook his head. "No money, thank you. In memory of your aunt."
