Exelixis Research Collaboration With Bristol-Myers Squibb Extended
The collaboration, originally established in January of 2005 for a periodof two years, has been extended at Bristol-Myers Squibb's request throughJanuary 12, 2009. Bristol-Myers Squibb also has retained the option to furtherextend the research collaboration by an additional year. Terms of theextension include additional research funding paid to Exelixis in the amountof $7.5M.
"Exelixis and Bristol-Myers Squibb have a history of working efficientlyand productively together, and we have maintained this positive dynamic in ourLXR collaboration," said Michael Morrissey, Ph.D., president of research anddevelopment at Exelixis. "In less than two years, we have made substantialprogress in identifying and optimizing compounds that activate LXR,potentially providing new treatments for cardiovascular and metabolicdiseases, which are diseases with increasing impact."
Under the terms of the collaboration, the two companies jointly identifydrug candidates that are ready for Investigational New DrugApplication-enabling studies. Bristol-Myers Squibb then undertakes furtherpreclinical development and has responsibility for clinical development,regulatory, manufacturing and sales/marketing activities for such compounds.
About the Liver X Receptor
LXR activation by oxysterols (oxidized cholesterol) or by syntheticagonists initiates a cascade of cellular events that both increase "reversecholesterol transport," thereby removing excess cholesterol from the body, andsuppress inflammation. Elevated levels of oxysterols have been implicated inthe progression of heart disease and plaque formation in the artery wall. LXRactivation therefore directly targets two well-known risk factors of heartdisease and provides a novel approach for decreasing the deposition of fat andlipids in the artery wall and suppressing the inflammatory damage associatedwith atherosclerosis. In animal models of heart disease, small moleculesynthetic LXR ligands have been shown to cause regression of pre-existingatherosclerotic lesions. Thus, LXR may be a first-in-class target fortherapies that directly target the pathology of atherosclerosis and coronaryartery disease via a dual mechanism of reverse cholesterol transport andrepression of inflammation.

Some Aussies have a trait called "grinning." The attached photo is my Aussie Ursa's grin. She LOVES people and she grins when she greets them. Sometimes she grins so much that she sneezes. She also wiggles herself into a pretzel at the same time. People who are aware of the Aussie grin think it's delightful. But some people seeing it for the first time mistake it for a snarl.

SRK Fan Movie Tuesday 5th Day Box Office Collection
One of the most awaited movie specially by the Shah Rukh Khan fans, "FAN" is released today on 15 April 2016 under the banners of Yash Raj Films. Movie takes excellent start on its opening day and with the positive reviews from the audience and critics. Produced by Aditya Chopra with the budget of Rs 1.05 bilion, movie makers are expecting good results at the box office. Check out SRK Fan Movie Friday 1st Day Box Office Collection.
SRK Fan Movie Tuesday 5th Day Box Office Collection
There are some loopholes in the Maneesh Sharma's directorial movie, but these few loopholes can't effect the overall strenght of the movie. Its definitely a thrilling ride. Along with Shah Rukh Khan, Waluscha de Sousa, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Deepika Amin, Y yogendra Tiku and Sayani Gupta were seen in the suppoting roles.
#Fan Overseas: Opening weekend $ 6.010 million [₹ 40.01 cr].
— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) 18 April 2016
Tuesday 5th Day box office collection is 7.50 crore
Total 5 days collection 59.85 crore.
#Fan biz fails to show major growth on Sunday… Fri 19.20 cr, Sat 15.40 cr, Sun 17.75 cr. Total: ₹ 52.35 cr. India biz.
— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) 18 April 2016
Points which make this Fan movie different from others are as – Shah Rukh Khan is in dual role after a long decade. Interesting facts of SRK like his liking, dislikings, living, hobbies are shown in the movie. Movie logo is made up of SRK's fans collage. This is first movie to be shot at Madame Museum, London. There are new female actress who are making their debut from this film. Its once again winning pair of SRK & YRF which surely gave super duper results at the box office.
After watching movie, audience gave 4.4 out of 5 which is very great fro the Fan team. It's a must watch movie overall.

At last there is a tiny glimmer of hope for people, like me, who don't like football. It was the story about Rio Ferdinand taking a £400 "staycation" holiday in Presthaven Sands in Prestatyn. The player was apparently staying in a caravan with his fiancée and kids. That is the best story I've ever heard about a footballer.
It's the very first time that I've ever read something about one that didn't involve dolly birds, tattoos, supercars or bad hair. This must be a first. Possibly the start of a torrent of low-key stories about the game? Maybe the FA has hired a new press officer who has realised that, in the good old boom days of the economy, people liked to be aspirational and looked to footballers and their excesses as the ultimate goal.
Nowadays, however, mid-credit crunch, news of their bacchanalian excesses just tends to irritate in a Sir Fred Goodwin type of way (surely they've stripped him of his knighthood by now?). So, I think that the word has gone out that, for the moment, "greed is bad" and we will see more and more of these "ordinary moments" up to and beyond the World Cup.
I fully expect to see Becks, Romeo, Brooklyn and whatever the other one is called (Dagenham? Lexus? Nigel?) along with a clearly recalcitrant Posh having a good time at Butlins in Minehead. Beckham will be looking a touch confused at the temporary tattoo bar as it turns out that there is no room left on his body for any more "art".
Meanwhile Posh will be pictured having some trouble explaining to the spotty youth in the burger van that she wants "two carrots and some arugula and not deep-fried..." Meanwhile the Rooneys will opt for a week-long break touring Wales on a tandem. It turns out that Coleen has a real fascination for both castles and painting in watercolours.
At every stop she whips out her easel and paints a castle while Wayne goes "antiquing" in the nearby town. "For Coleen" says Wayne gushingly to a local reporter "it's the sheer stripped down simplicity of castle architecture that really appeals. Whereas for me, I'm always on the lookout for another Clarice Cliff to add to the collection. It's the excitement of never quite knowing what you're going to find and then driving a hard bargain..."
Whoever came up with this wheeze in the FA is a bloody genius and should be moved straight onto working on Andy Murray's image next. He could try to quash the growing rumours that Murray is actually a hermaphrodite. Every week more and more pictures turn up of Murray's new exploding body. But just three years ago he was clearly a bit of a "Jessie". Now, as he is in danger of turning into the Incredible Hulk, tongues are wagging.
The only problem that I can see with this new "earthy" football image is that there will be a big void left for the tabloids to fill. I am confident that the English women's football team can step up to fill that gap. They have already raised our hopes by reaching a final and then sending us into a spiral of depression when they got thrashed by the Hun. Now they need to seize the moment and go on a media rampage.
I want to see the strangely attractive one with the white face mask announce that from now on she will be known as Zorro and get into a fight in a nightclub with Cheryl Cole after challenging her to a duel. Then I would like to see three more members of the team get exposed for attempting to "roast" a terrified Polish room service waiter who was simply delivering food and drink to their top-floor penthouse suite at the Reading Hilton.
It'll all end in tears, however, when the tempestuous marriage between the foxy goalkeeper and Rhydian, the half-man, half-Welsh Aryan ex-singing sensation from X Factor goes off the boil and a half-hour gunfight erupts in downtown Basingstoke. Then the papers will turn on them. They'll ask whether women should really play football at all. Are they up to the pressures of the game and can they handle the lifestyle? Frank Lampard, contacted at the Windmill Museum that he now runs just outside Norwich, thinks not. "It was all much better when men played and drove Lamborghinis to the corner shop, it's a different world now..."
More than you can chew in bite-size updates
Andy Murray Twitter Watch alert: "Physio just had 300 dollars on table ross 200 to down a lump of wasabi after 10 seconds of chewing both spat it out after 6 seconds amazing" Good to see the defeat hasn't stopped the high jinks...

Fink Says China to Do Well This Year as Bubble Threat Postponedby
China pursues `very aggressive' monetary policy to lift growth
May mean the bubble will be bigger in 2017 and 2018, Fink says
BlackRock Inc.'s Laurence D. Fink says investors will be sorry if they're not betting on China this year. Just don't stay there too long.
China's leaders are trying to aggressively reboot the economy, measures that will result in higher economic growth than many expect today, Fink said in an interview with Bloomberg Television's Erik Schatzker. The measures may create a bigger credit bubble down the road which may ultimately burst, a risk that Fink put at 20 percent.
"I think in 2016 you'll look back and think 'I wish I was in China'," said Fink, whose firm is the world's largest asset manager with $4.7 trillion overseen for clients. "I think the equity market will do fine this year. I'm not telling you it's a great long-term trade."
The People's Bank of China in February announced it would cut the amount of cash that lenders must hold in reserve, a step that analysts said would make cheap credit more available to borrowers in the country who were struggling to repay debt. This and other steps helped the Chinese economy stabilize during the first quarter, with gross domestic product rising 6.7 percent from a year earlier.
Some investors are betting that China's stimulus efforts will create a credit bubble that will eventually pop, devastating the economy. Kyle Bass, the founder of Hayman Capital Management, a Dallas-based hedge fund firm, told investors earlier this year that China's banking system may see losses more than four times those suffered by U.S. banks in the financial crisis.
So far, betting against China has been a losing proposition for hedge funds. Third Point, founded by Dan Loeb, said in a letter posted Wednesday that wagers against the Chinese yuan, materials and companies exposed to the country contributed to a "catastrophic" performance in the industry this year. Hedge funds lost 1.9 percent in the first quarter, according to Hedge Fund Research's global index, the poorest performance since 2008.
"Many of our hedge funds believed there was going to be an event in 2016, they're going to need to devalue," Fink said. "And I went out publicly saying that's not going to happen in 2016."
As the host of this year's Group of 20 conference, an international forum among governments and central bank governors from the world's major economies, China wants to make sure it is a "beacon of growth," Fink said.
"China is looking way beyond what we thought it would look like in 2016," Fink said. "Am I worried about the manner in which they're accelerating their economy? Yes. Does it mean there's more potential for a bubble and a burst? Yes. But it may not happen if they navigate it."

Nothing much here. We are having a cycle off doing anything because the FS has been off over Christmas. We are just doing our own thing, so basically just waiting to ovulate now. When/if AF comes again I'll call the FS and book in again
Hi ladies. Delirium linked me to this thread and i was wondering if i can join? I have been TTC for nearly 5 years and i got a bfp on Saturday but have since lost the pregnancy. I feel so ashamed of myself for denying i might have a problem because i'm "young and healthy". Ever since i found this site i've realised anyone can have issues. Sorry if i'm rambling i'm feeling very lost
So sorry for your loss unicorns and rainbows. It's heartbreaking to finally get the positive and then have it taken away. Ramble away. I've been putting off a laparoscopy for a year or so now : /
unicornsandrainbows (05-01-2015)
What does a laparoscopy do if i may ask? I have no idea whats wrong with me. My period is always on time and hubbys had his sperm tested and they said it was fine?
Hi @unicornsandrainbows. Sorry to hear about your loss. Have you seen a doctor and had blood tests etc done? We've been trying for a good year and a half with no luck. Once I went to see a fertility specialist I found out I have polycystic ovaries. I don't really have any of the symptoms but my ovaries both have the classic pearl necklace appearance. I also have a short cycle and often my luteal phase is quite short too. Hopefully you can get some answers as to why it's not working for you.
unicornsandrainbows (06-01-2015)
Laparoscopy is keyhole surgery where they put a camera in and have a look around to see if your tubes are clear or anything else wrong. I'm ovulating no problem, very predictable with regular cycles and DH sperm sample had no problems.
I'm scared. I'm scared of my ultrasound tomorrow and my appointment next Wednesday at the big hospital for a scan of my ovaries and everything. I'm scared of my husbands sperm tests. I'm scared of all the blood tests. I'm scared i'm going to be told i'll never be a mother. I'm so so scared. What if my body is useless???? What if i can't give my husband a child?
Deep breaths @unicornsandrainbows. What if they find something that's really easy to fix! It is a really scary time but you'll get through it no matter what the outcome.
unicornsandrainbows (07-01-2015)
it was not as scary as i thought. we had a good long chat with the doctor and i feel alot calmer and ready to try again.
I have a lap booked in early February- so it is just a waiting game for me until then. DH and I have been ttc for almost 3 years and all tests have come up clear. In a way I'm looking forward to the lap for possibly more answers!

1. 9.4 : Direct, Joint, and Inverse Variation Translating from words to equation
Proportion approach
�Diagonal� hyperbolas
2. Direct Variation If a variable (y) is equal to another variable (x) times a constant, we can express this relationship with the phrase:
�y varies directly as x�
This means y = kx, where k is called the constant of variation (k does not equal zero)
The graph of y = kx is a line, with y-intercept of 0 and slope of k
One implication of this relationship is that (y1 / x1) = (y2 / x2
So you can form a proportion to solve for a missing value
3. Example 4-1a
4. Example 4-1b
5. Example 4-1c
6. JOINT VARIATION Joint variation occurs when one quantity varies directly as the product of two or more other quantities
Formally, we say y varies jointly as x and z if there is some number k such that y = kxz where neither k,x, nor z equals 0
We call also take a proportion approach:
Y1 / (x1z1) = y2 / (x2z2)
Note that we can�t graph joint variation on the x-y plane since there are more than 2 variables
7. Example 4-2a
8. Example 4-2b
9. Example 4-2c
10. Inverse Variation With inverse variation, as one quantity increases the other decreases proportionately
More formally, we say that y varies inversely as x if y = k / x (where x and k do not equal 0)
We can also write this last equation as xy = k
Notice that with inverse variation, the product of x and y is always the same number
The graph is interesting.. We�ll look at an example in a minute
You can also solve for a missing value using
X1y1 = x2y2
11. Example 4-3a
12. Example 4-3b
13. Example 4-3c
14. Example 4-4a
15. Example 4-4b
16. Example 4-4c
17. Example 4-4d
18. Example 4-4e
19. You can combine variations.. Wow! For example, the force exerted between two objects varies jointly with the masses of the two objects and varies inversely with the square of the distance between them (r)
We say F = (k * m1 * m2 ) / r2

Arizona Diamondbacks
Rumor: D-backs talking Upton for Lee trade with Philly
Oh, the rumors just keep on coming.
With the Winter Meetings going on in Nashville, there seems to be a new rumor concerning Arizona Diamondbacks right fielder Justin Upton, whom Arizona has shopped in some capacity in each of the last three offseasons.
But ESPN's Pedro Gomez may have dropped the juiciest of rumors on Twitter:
Phillies and Diamondbacks are discussing Justin Upton for Cliff Lee. Money coming to AZ would also be involved.
— Pedro Gomez (@pedrogomezESPN) December 4, 2012
As word of that idea spread, though, many sources chimed in to refute it.
Ruben Amaro with a strong denial of the Lee-Upton report. "I don't comment on rumors but that one is Absolutely and unequivocally false."
— High Cheese (@HighCheese) December 4, 2012
Dbacks source tells me the Upton/Lee stuff "hasn't been discussed" and is "off base."
— Nick Piecoro (@nickpiecoro) December 4, 2012
Gibson on that Upton/Lee rumor: "I can tell you that's not going to happen."
— Nick Piecoro (@nickpiecoro) December 4, 2012
Lee, 34, is coming off of a frustrating season with Philadelphia in which he went 6-9 with a 3.16 ERA in 30 starts. The 2008 American League Cy Young Award winner didn't earn his first victory until July 31.
Lee is owed $87.5 million over the next three seasons, so presumably, a ton of money would need to come back to Diamondbacks in any deal with Philadelphia.
Upton, 25, had a down season in 2012 as well, hitting .280 with 17 home runs and 67 RBI. The former first overall draft pick has three years and approximately $38.5 million left on his contract.

After that i visited Gynecologist for consultation and all reports are normal. Hence my query is, is it safe for my pregnancy? we are trying from last one year.

Hi there...don't be alarmed. Itraconazole belongs to pregnancy category C drug. It means it can affect the foetus if taken during pregnancy. However it doesn't necessarily mean it has to affect it. Also taking any drug, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy is not advisable. From the timeline you are mentioning, you might not have been pregnant when you took the tablets. Kindly consult a obstetrician and explain to them about the tablets you have taken. They will be able to evaluate you further

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Bible Versions/Translations' started by R. Lawson, Jan 29, 2011.
ChristianBook has the updated NIV (NIV 2011) in eBook format.
The new print version of the 2011 NIV should hit stores in March, if you'd like to see a side by side comparison, here it is:
If some go from the KJV to the NIV their sermons will shorter and they will have to include more content in the message. They will not have to explain the meanings of archaic words so that people know what they mean. So they will need less time to teach the message rather than include a lesson on the meanings of archaic words.
KJV = 783137 words
NIV = 727969 words
There is a good reason for a few thousand of these. Notice in the KJV many many verses begin with the word "And". In the Greek the word "kai" is used to separate sentences which is translated as and or then since Koine Greek has no periods. This is called block style writing since it has no word or sentence separation. Think one long compound sentence with "and" separating each sentence.
With modern English punctuation and sentence structure the use of the word "kai" to separate sentences is nullified. So "kai/and" is dropped.
The Hebrew OT is the same mostly.
And so it came to pass...
True, but there are some words used as connectives. You did it yourself. ".....So "kai/and is dropped." Others: "Thus", "Then", and the substantival "therefore." I would differ with you slightly in that it seems more common in Koine than in Hebrew. At least, in original usage.
Therefore, D) not every rendering of kai as "and" is superfluous (not that you were arguing this), yet not every kai needs to be translated as "and." Context determines this. The NASB does a pretty good job with it. NRSV overdoes it a bit. ESV kinda wears it out. However, at least it's there for the translator to work with.
a new version again? :sleep:
And they are almost caught up with the number of editions of the KJV...

Effect of Meat Binding Formulations on Thermal Inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Internalized in Beef
ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effects of meat binding or restructuring formulations, including salt/phosphate, algin/calcium, Activa™RM, and Fibrimex®, with or without 0.27% (wt/wt) lactic acid, on thermal inactivation of internalized Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground beef, serving as a model system for restructured products. Ground beef batches (700 g; approximately 5% fat) were mechanically mixed with a 5-strain composite of E. coli O157:H7 (7 log CFU/g) and then with the restructuring formulations. Product portions (30 g) were extruded into plastic test tubes (2.5 × 10 cm) and stored at 4 °C (18 h), before heating to 60 or 65 °C in a circulating water bath to simulate rare or medium-rare doneness of beef, respectively. Cooking to 60 or 65 °C reduced (P < 0.05) bacterial counts of control samples by 1.8 and 3.2 log CFU/g, respectively. Thermal destruction at 60 °C was not different (P > 0.05) among all treatments and the control. At 65 °C, greater (P < 0.05) thermal inactivation of E. coli O157:H7, as compared to the control, was obtained in samples treated with lactic acid alone (reductions of 4.9 log CFU/g), whereas for all other treatments, microbial destruction (reductions of 2.2 to 4.5 log CFU/g) was comparable (P > 0.05) to that of the control. Cooking weight losses were lower (P < 0.05) in salt/phosphate samples (<1%) compared to other formulations and the control (7.4% to 15.9%). Findings indicated that, under the conditions examined, restructuring of beef with salt/phosphate, algin/calcium, Activa™RM, or Fibrimex® did not affect inactivation of internalized E. coli O157:H7 in undercooked (60 or 65 °C) samples, whereas inclusion of lactic acid (0.27%) in nonintact beef products enhanced pathogen destruction at 65 °C.

text: Hi Ben, My site Discourse DB has formatted ask queries, using code that's pending inclusion into SMW; I don't know if it's been released into any version yet. It doesn't use a syntax that looks like 'format="template" name="TemplateName"' syntax but, instead, one that looks like 'format="TemplateName"'. (If the format name specified is not one of the standard ones ( i.e. "table", "list", etc.), the parser looks for a template of that name. It might have been better to go with the first type of syntax, the one you suggest; that way it would be clearer to users what's going on behind the scenes. It's still possible to change it; does anyone have an opinion on that?) In any case, in Discourse DB, every page that uses the "Position" template contains a formatted ask query: http://discoursedb.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Position&action=edit The template it uses for ask queries, "ItemQuery", can be seen here: http://discoursedb.org/w/index.php?title=Template:ItemQuery&action=edit And here's one example of the Position template in action, for a page on a minimum wage bill: http://discoursedb.org/wiki/Fair_Minimum_Wage_Act_of_2007_/_Act_should_be_passed If the code that handles such queries is not yet in the released version, I can send it to you. -Yaron On 3/1/07, Ben Hyde <bhyde@...> wrote: > > Is <ask format="template" ...> in the released version, and if so can > somebody suggest a pointer to an example I can mimic?

Love of the week: Stutterheim Raincoats
Raincoats and capes to cheer up those melancholic, rainy days
The reason why:
To uplift the gray days
To rediscover a practical item and a mid-season must-have piece
Melancholic memories with a contemporary line
Swedish designer Alexander Stutterheim of Stutterheim Raincoats decided to revamp an item, the raincoat, worn by his grandfather when he went out fishing from Arholma (an island in the Stockholm archipelago) during stormy weather. He would set off to sea to catch fish defying the worst weather, the heaviest rains and thunderstorms.
It was just recently that the designer discovered that old rain coat in an abandoned barn. It was both very cool and practical (although very big) and imagined it in an updated, contemporary version.
This is how Stutterheim Raincoats came to life: find on the label's website the two basic styles, coat and cape, all hand-crafted and in different colors. From red to fisherman yellow through classic gray and black. We love color, to cheer up your gray, rainy days.

#WindowsMobile #Smartphone – Microsoft Corporation's Windows Phone Failure is a Blessing in Disguise : Microsoft Corporation can hardly be considered a big player in the smartphone game with only 1% of global market share. This week, Terry Myerson – Windows boss – in an interview with ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley said the major reason that the tech giant is still working on its Windows 10 Mobile OS is as an investment in tech and less as an effort to build a commercially viable smartphone.
Myerson added that the company is generally getting better at working with ARM processors (the similar kind of chips that Apple has been using in its latest MacBooks) and with cellular devices by continuing to work on Windows 10 Mobile. "When you stop investing in these things, it's super hard, super, super hard to restart."
For Microsoft Corporation, this is a blessing in disguise. For sure, the slow death of Windows smartphones is a setback to the tech giant. "But now that it's done, and the albatross around the company's neck is lifting, a smarter Microsoft is already starting to rise up," says a report from Business Insider.
Failing at what it planned for?
During the release of Windows 10, Microsoft touted that the new operating system would reach 1bn active devices within three years via HoloLens holographic goggles, the Xbox One console, PCs, smartphones, and tablets. The tech giant was insisting to reach a billion users because it wanted to attract developers to the Windows Store – an app market available across Windows 10 on all devices.
For developers and the app makers, that would be a billion potential customers. Also, by doing this, the tech giant wanted to woo the customers away from Android and iPhone, notes BI. The notion was – the proliferation of apps would result in consumers buying more Windows phones, which in turn would solve the enormous app gap of the platform.
It was a smart plan to assist the software giant in gaining some ground on Google and Apple, but it did not work out like that. Microsoft, announced – earlier this year – an indefinite postponement of that goal as the business of Windows phone declined even more.
The Windows 10 has over 400 million active users within a little over a year into its run. The rate of growth is slowing as the free upgrade offer expires. Tech giant like Uber and Facebook have provided Windows 10 apps, but there is still no sign of smaller companies such as Snapchat making itself available on the store. The Windows store is still quite desolate, notes BI.
Blessing in disguise for Microsoft
Thanks to all this, Microsoft Corporation is now making the best of the situation by putting its best stuff on other platforms. Microsoft's phone business may not be doing well, but its overall hardware business is stronger than ever. Every quarter, the Surface Book laptop and Surface Pro tablet are a profitable, $4-billion-plus business.
Now, the much-expected Surface Studio PC will join that lineup as well. "It's building the best laptops and tablets out there – and winning converts like me over from Apple's Macs. It makes Windows more appealing to whole new audiences," says BI.
