This one time, at pathfinder camp, we ran out of food. On Sabbath. I, being a pathfinder leader's worst nightmare, quoting chapter and verse, said 'If the disciples were allowed to pick grain, surely we could go buy some bread?' Needless to say my pathfinder leaders were not impressed with my pre-adolescent exegesis and practical application of Mark 2.
From its very inception the church has grappled with clearly understanding the mission Jesus assigned. It is not that the words Jesus spoke to the disciples are hard to find or understand. The words are simple and direct. They essentially defy any human misunderstanding; nevertheless, the church has debated the concept of mission for centuries. The words of the mission are located in five different places in the New Testament: Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:46-49; John 20:21-22 and Acts 1:8.
In his book "Practicing Resurrection," author Eugene Peterson makes the terse statement, "Church is difficult." I say more, it is audacious. Only the with-God-nothing-is-impossible-
God could attempt it or would attempt it. We look and often our eyes see more defeat than victory. We assess and see more strife than unity. And it weighs us down and weakens faith.
But it need not. Facing conditions as they are we can return to the Word of Christ and the Father, praying to see once again what they saw and yet see in this initiative called the Church.
When I saw this week's title, I instantly saw life's front-page issue: Living Like Jesus vs Living like Lucifer!
What does Jesus tell us about growing in him?
If "repentance" is the crucial element in God's plan of salvation, then what comes next? How does the believer grow "in Christ" ? For Paul, the idea of being "in Christ" was crucial. Note 2 Cor. 5:17 (NRSV): "So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!"
The question of how do I be saved has always puzzled humanity. The roadmap to salvation is twisted and filled with obstacles when we keep focusing on how we get saved as opposed to who saves.
Our self-help shelves at the bookstore are booming with solutions on how to become a better parent, how to be successful in business, how to save your marriage, how to get fit, how to lose weight: the list of How To programs is extensive.
Leading Question: What do Jesus and Gospels tell us about salvation before Jesus died on the cross?
Given the strong emphasis on substitutionary theology in evangelical circles, a position which sees the death of Christ as essential in the salvation process, it is instructive to note the teachings of Jesus on the theme of "salvation," teachings which would have been given before he died to pay the price for our sin.
At least since the mid-1970's, nearly all Adventists in the developed world have enjoyed a relatively sound understanding of Justification by Faith; at the same time, most of us have not been quite as well-informed with respect to Sanctification—a doctrine which treads close to the old canard that anyone who cares about personal holiness or who possesses close lifestyle scruples must, by definition, be considered a legalist.

Unbeknownst to me, someone took the bag out of my Kenmore Progressive vacuum and failed to replace it. I have been vacuuming without a bag for months, and today the vacuum stopped sucking. When I opened up the front to replace the bag, tons of dirt and dust came pouring out. I thoroughly cleaned the vacuum, put in a new bag, but still no sucking power. Just dust coming from the rear vents where one of the filters is. Is the vacuum ruined, or is it a simple solution of buying a new filter?

10000 m ace Yuki Sato (25, Team Nissin Shokuhin) has set breaking the Japanese national record as his goal for the spring season. At a party on Jan. 31 at a Tokyo-area hotel to celebrate Team Nissin Shokuhin's New Year Ekiden national championship win, Sato said, "I spent January fully resting and recovering. In February and March I'll be building up toward breaking the Olympic A standard [27:45.00] in the U.S.A. in April." His precise goal is the Japanese national record, Toshinari Takaoka's 27:35.09. Sato's PB is 27:38.25, but, he said with obvious confidence, "I want to run in the 27:20's. If all goes well I can do it." Beyond that, Japan's top track runner is targeting the top eight at the London Olympics.
Translator's note: Last year's 10000 m national champion, Sato set a course record of 1:02:51 for the 22.0 km Third Stage at the Jan. 1 New Year Ekiden, equivalent to 1:00:16 for a half-marathon, 9 seconds faster than the half-marathon national record. Three other men already hold the 10000 m Olympic A-standard, Tsuyoshi Ugachi (27:40.69, Team Konica Minolta), Chihiro Miyawaki (27:41.57, Team Toyota) and Tetsuya Yoroizaka (27:44.30, Meiji University).

The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took gleeful advantage of the riots that have convulsed Britain, decrying the UN and human rights groups for their "silence" on the police response and demanding that the Security Council take action against David Cameron's government.
"If one per cent of this happens in countries that oppose the West, [the UN and human rights bodies] scream until they are hoarse," Mr Ahmadinejad said. His remarks came a day after the Iranian government-funded Press TV published a statement from a foreign ministry spokesman urging the British police to stop "the violent confrontation with the people".
Mr Ahmadinejad's comments were perhaps the most striking of another day on which the world's gaze was fixed on events in Britain. Apparently motivated by Britain's support for pro-democracy demonstrators after government forces violently suppressed protests in Iran in 2009, his sentiments may strike international observers as ironic. According to members of the Iranian opposition movement, scores of protesters were killed by militiamen allied to the regime in Tehran.
The Iranian President nonetheless insisted yesterday that Mr Cameron was a hypocrite who had abandoned his people. "They should change their attitude, change their management, and deal with their own people instead of intervening in others' affairs," he said.
Others were more circumspect in their remarks, with the Dalai Lama, during a speech in Delhi, saying that he had believed that Britain was a law-abiding, peaceful nation and that recent events made him feel "really sad". The South African government, meanwhile, warned its citizens to postpone any planned trips to London.
The global media was likewise fascinated by events here, seeing them as a telling index on the British political climate. "Even when the fires are quelled and the streets are cleaned, the deeper problems will remain," the left-leaning Berliner Zeitung said in an editorial. "But everything will probably remain the same. The Brits will fall into their standard stoic mentality. 'Keep calm and carry on' – until the next riot."

Harjit Sajjan Mulls Giving First Nations The Power To Call In Military
WINNIPEG — Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan is considering a request to give First Nations the power to directly call in the military when their treaty, environmental and other rights are threatened.
Ron Swain, vice-chief with the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, told Sajjan during consultations with indigenous groups Wednesday that aboriginal communities deserve the same rights as provincial governments, which have the authority under the National Defence Act to call in the military to fight civil unrest and during other crises.

"We believe, in protecting our sovereign territory and our issues around environmental concerns, we should be able to trigger the same response and have our Armed Forces defending our treaties and our territories," Swain said during a break in the closed-door meeting in Winnipeg that included about a dozen aboriginal leaders and academics.
The meeting, which focused on indigenous issues, was one of several discussions Sajjan is holding around the country as part of a broad review of Canada's defence policies.
Lessons from Oka crisis
Swain, whose group represents First Nations and Metis who do not live on reserve, pointed to the Oka crisis of 1990, when the Quebec government called in the military to try to restore order after repeated clashes between police and Mohawk protesters.
He said indigenous communities should be able to call in the military to come to their defence in such cases, or in the event that development that could pose a risk to the environment is taking place without First Nations consent. Swain cited the current standoff involving the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota over construction of an oil pipeline.
"Our people and our communities are very concerned about water and this whole issue about pipelines."
Story continues after slideshow:
Here are some quotes from various people who were involved in the Oka Crisis, which erupted on July 11, 1990. (Information courtesy of Giuseppe Valiante and Peter Rakobowchuk, The Canadian Press). (PHOTO CREDIT: A warrior raises his weapon as he stands on an overturned police vehicle blocking a highway at the Kahnesetake reserve near Oka, Quebec July 11, 1990 after a police assault to remove Mohawk barriers failed. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Tom Hanson)
"It was difficult negotiating because there were two camps that we were negotiating with. I'm not suggesting we should have been negotiating with (Mohawk) Warriors but that's what happened. "We were negotiating with the (band) council and then the Warriors took over. We had to take as long as we could to avoid any further loss of life. We lost a corporal...Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa called us into his office the day after (the crisis) started and he told us, he made it very, very clear, that he didn't want any more death. And he asked us to make sure there wasn't.''
"There were some good cops and bad cops at that time and the same with the army. I remember seeing a soldier get his stripes ripped off his arm right in front of me because he was too helpful with the food. "His superior officer took his stripes and ripped them off his sleeve because he allowed us to put little things in the (food) boxes that shouldn't have been there. People would try and slip messages in the food boxes (for the Warriors behind the barricades).''
"From the outset it was decided that we wouldn't use force. It could have created a precedent either for poisoning generations between natives communities and Quebec. Not to mention Canada and Quebec's international reputations were on the line. "And we didn't want to create what could become eventually a resistance movement or a terrorist movement. We wanted to negotiate and have a peaceful resolution and the minute you decide that, you know you're in a long standoff. We knew this wasn't going to end in a week.''
"The Oka Crisis didn't stop in September 1990 -- far from it. What it led to was the social disintegration of my community. I think the Oka Crisis for us lasted 20 years -- at least 20 years. "And now we're starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. We have a unified (band) council for the first time in recent memory and it's really incredible to see because everyone has the same mind. They want to see their home get better. They want it to heal. They want opportunities for the youth that weren't here before.''
"We had people who were watching -- international observers -- and they had been all over the world and witnessed horrible disputes of all kinds. "Negotiating with (international observers) there gives you the impression that you're in something that could explode at any point. The feeling that we have to have observers meant everyone was conscious of the fact we were on the precipice for violence to break out again.'' (PHOTO CREDIT: A Mohawk Warrior sits in golf cart and uses binoculars to view approaching Canadian army armoured vehiches on Highway 344 on the Kanesatake Reserve at Oka, Que., September 1, 1990. It was a crisis that grabbed international headlines, with armed Mohawks and Canadian soldiers involved in a lengthy standoff that often appeared on the verge of exploding into full-blown combat.)
"I think (since Oka) there has been an evolution all across Canada. There are (still) many unresolved issues, land claims, jurisdictional disputes. (But) there is a greater appreciation that these are important questions and issues. "And when it comes to the development of natural resources, I think everyone understands that we are going to develop natural resources with the First Nations. And back then I think we would have acted more unilaterally.''
"There is still no agreement over the land. The only thing that has changed since Oka is that the day-to-day (routine) has returned. Our municipality isn't that big. "After the crisis it was really hard. People on both sides weren't talking to each other. No one was looking at each other. Lots of divisions within families because there are many inter-marriages between natives and non-natives. It lasted several years. I think the two sides suffered. There was a lot of work to get out of the crisis. Today, things are back to normal."
"A police officer took all the keys to the (police vehicles) and locked the doors to make sure no one could get in. When the shootout occurred (between provincial police and Mohawk Warriors) all the officers wanted to get into their cars but they were locked out. "The panic was tremendous. The police officers with their guns ran down the hill and there were newspeople taking photographs of them. The police were so angry at the photographers they followed them and confiscated those images. A lot of it was destroyed.''
"When the army started to move in...it was a waiting game. I was constantly wondering what would unfold, what would resolve it, what would end it. You just didn't know which way it would turn. "There were some (Mohawks) who had AK-47s, other young men with shotguns and hunting rifles. It opened my eyes to many things: this is Canada? And I thought everything was cool here, I thought everyone was kind of happy together. There's stuff behind the scenes that we don't know about.''
"All of the problems of the history, the decades of injustice towards First Nations, all welled up around this episode. "In retrospect, I think we managed to solve it without further bloodshed. I don't think anybody can take personal credit for having been the magic bullet, but I do believe it led to our ability as a government to make a huge amount of progress on land claims.''

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Bill Grimshaw
Even municipalities appear to have an easier time getting military intervention, said Swain, who pointed to the 1999 snowstorm in Toronto that had then-mayor Mel Lastman pleading successfully for army aid.
A spokesman for Sajjan was noncommittal on the idea.
"We thank vice-chief Swain ... for bringing this idea to our attention; it is certainly something we will consider as we move forward in the policy review process," Jordan Owens, Sajjan's press secretary, wrote in an email.
Earlier in the day, Sajjan said the meeting would look at a wide variety of topics — everything from the Canadian Rangers, a largely indigenous group of army reserves that helps patrol the North, to job opportunities for indigenous youth in the military.
"We believe, in protecting our sovereign territory and our issues around environmental concerns, we should be able to trigger the same response and have our Armed Forces defending our treaties and our territories."
"There are countless stories out there within the military that we do need to share, that we can inspire the younger generation to be able to look at, potentially, the military as a career, but also to look at it as an opportunity for learning and apply it to other careers as well," Sajjan said.
Canada's revamped defence policy is expected early next year and is expected to address everything from overseas military missions to cyber terrorism.

PS3 won't connect wirelessly
Hi friends,
First I want to apologize if this was already answered some where else, if so a link would be nice. Been surfing for answers past 2 days with no sucess. Here is my problem: My PS3 was first connected wirelessly via Apple's Airport Extreme 3rd generation Router, Motorola Modem 6120 via ISP COX. Then I connected my PS3 to my modem (wired connection) for hopefully faster speeds, which it didn't. I then upgraded my modem to the Motorola SB6121 and upgraded my internet service for more speed (Cox Ultimate). Now I'm trying to go back to a wireless connection via my Airport Extreme Router and nothing. It keeps timing out, I've opened ports, reset router, reset modem, power cycled, reset my PS3 back to default settings thinking that might help and nothing still. The only reason why I didn't stick with wired connection is because I would have cable all over the place because of the connection would be so far, retarded apartment design. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it and be indebted to you! This is just driving me nuts....... - I'm not that network savy so lamen terms please
Re: PS3 won't connect wirelessly
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found the answer. I should have indicated that the PS3 couldn't obtain an IP address. I did inputting of the IP address manually, opening ports, DMZ all of which I was leery of. Finally it dawned on me and this is what worked for me hopefully this helps: I RESET my router to its default settings. Its the Apple Airport Extreme 3rd Generation and you must do a HARD RESET which is holding the reset button for more than 5 seconds until the lights blinks rapidly amber. Then go into the Airport Utility and it will display as a Base Station & Mac Address. At this point just create from scratch and worked for me hopefully it works for you. Who would of thought?!! HAHAAHHA

Speaking at the Winter Meetings, Mets' CEO Jeff Wilpon said GM Sandy Alderson would have an increased budget for 2013 and the team "will be competitive.'' What exactly he meant by that, he wouldn't specify. Does it mean the Mets will be a playoff contender or at least a .500-caliber team? Just exactly how much will the budget be increased? When Wilpon spoke of payroll flexibility, in the wake of the commitment to David Wright, he didn't do so in terms of actual dollars. Alderson said the outfield pool is currently at the deep end with Shane Victorino signing a three-year, $39 million deal with Boston. I thought if the Mets splurged they might have a shot at Victorino, but I wasn't thinking $39 million. Victorino actually turned down $44 million from Cleveland for a chance to play for a contender, and the Indians aren't exactly a free-spending team. Alderson said "we'll get outfielders,'' but what he didn't add on was, "… we have to because the rules say we need to play with three

The Bald Eagle
When I reached the mountain I looked up and I seen the sharp deadly rocks along the sides of the mountain, a single tree hunched over and eagles nest and clouds surrounding the peek of the mountain. My legs were still weak, too. I had to start of slowly as I started to walk up a path leading to the top. As I was walking I came a cross a couple trees and a bush so I walked behind them and put on some clothes from my bag. When I put on my shirt I heard someone whispering "what the apple are you doing here?" I started to look around for someone that said that.
I started to hear the mysterious whispering again and it said "could you not get naked in front of me again!" That time it sounded louder and scarier so I started to look around and above. And that's when I seen it. One of the craziest things I saw it was a giant bald eagle. It was looking right at me I didn't know what to do. Run or stay still, I was starting to think in my head. So I decided to stay and pray that it does not attack me. The eagle watch me praying then it expanded its wings, opened it beck and said "why are you going to pray it's not like I'm going to eat you."
Then I soon replied with confusion "if you're not going to eat me then why you are here?" The bald eagle jumped down and stood in front of me. Then with his beck he pointed toward his back. When I thought he would help me to the top of the mountain so I started to clamed on his back.
Then the bold eagle just shrugged his shoulder and tossed me off his back. He slowly opened his mouth with slim dripping off his tong then said, "What are you trying to do me only wanted you to scratch my back." Then the bold eagle expanded its wings and push downward with them. It sent him soaring up into the air as he grabbed my foot with his claw. I was slipping out of his grasp as my pants were starting to fall off.

Zinc stearate is a chemical compound that has a fluffy, white powdered appearance and is a combination of zinc oxide and stearic acid. Zinc stearate does not have a strong odor, although traces of a slight fatty acid scent are not uncommon. Zinc stearate does not contain electrolyte and has a hydrophobic effect. Zinc stearate is also referred to as zinc salt or octadecanoic acid. Zinc stearate can dissolve in alcohol but not in water based solutions. The versatility of zinc stearate compound makes it applicable for concrete and plastic industries. In addition, zinc stearate is used in the paint industry where it is added to paint coatings and lacquers for use as a sanding and flatting agent. For concrete manufacturing, it is mixed as an additive for waterproofing concrete; this same process is also used to waterproof other products, such as, rockwools, textiles, and paper products. Zinc stearate enhances the color when used in PVC and gives excellent lubricating performance. Zinc stearate should be used with calcium stabilizer when it is used in PVC. Furthermore, addition of an epoxy plasticizer will also assist in improving the heat stability. In personal care and cosmetics products, zinc stearate is used mainly in the formulation of products such as eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipsticks, mascara, face powders and foundations. Zinc stearate is also used in deodorants, fragrances and skin care products.
The growth in end-user industries is expected to increase the consumption of zinc stearate. The growth in PVC and rubber industry is expected to boost consumption of zinc stearate. In addition, rising demand for cosmetics from emerging economies of Asia Pacific is expected to further increase consumption of zinc stearate. However, health regulations and availability of substitutes could hamper the growth of this market. Zinc stearate is a chemical and used in many different types of products including cosmetics. Only smaller amounts are considered to be safe for humans. Chronic exposure to larger amount of zinc stearate can cause breathing issues, including acute pneumonitis.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest consumer of zinc stearate followed by North America and Europe. India and China are the major consumers of zinc stearate in Asia Pacific due to presence of established end-user industries such as rubber and paints & coatings. Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand are other major consumers of zinc stearate in Asia Pacific. North America and Europe are mature markets and expected to grow at a moderate rate.

17 Earthquake Prep Tips
Earthquakes come without warning; learn how to be prepared and keep out of harm's way.

Be Prepared
Earthquakes are unpredictable and can be scary. But the best way to be less scared of an earthquakes is to be prepared. A few decor, storage and safety tips can go a long way in making you feel 'ready'.
Anchors Away
One of the bigger dangers in an earthquake is heavy furniture toppling over. Anchor armoires, bookcases, buffets, and any other large piece of furniture to the walls with adjustable straps.
Wax On...
Created for use in museums, repositionable sticky wax is a useful tool for safely securing glass and other breakables to shelving. It removes from both surfaces without damaging your valuables.
Raise A Glass
Open shelving can pose a problem for favorite stemware and cups. If you have glassware in an open display, consider securing it with a tasteful trim.
To prevent paintings, clocks, mirrors or photographs flying off the wall, be sure to hang them with special picture-hanging hardware that picture wire slides into – and the hardware closes around the wire. This means during an earthquake, artwork won't slip off the hook and fall.
A Crib Note
Crib mobiles are a pretty addition to any nursery. Keep the mobile lightweight and off to the side of the crib, not directly over it, for the safest location.
Lightweight Artwork
Anything hanging near the crib should be as lightweight as possible.
Sleep Tight
In any bedroom in earthquake country, consider replacing heavy artwork over the bed with a textile for a softer look.
Glass-Free Art
Another option is to remove and dispose of glass from any non-precious artwork in kids' rooms. Use your best judgment to decide if your artwork will be ok without glass, or behind a piece of Plexiglas instead.
Brace Yourself
A toppling water heater in a quake is preventable. Install a heavy metal bracing kit to ensure your water heater stays where it should, and save yourself thousands of dollars of possible water damage!
Extinguish Your Fears
It's always good to have several fire extinguishers in your home. Keeping fire extinguishers in dedicated, obvious locations makes it easy to remember where they are in case of an emergency.
A Tall Drink of Water
Clean water may not be available after a large earthquake. Have one gallon per person per day stored so everyone can remain hydrated. Experts recommend having three days worth of water stored up.
Plenty to Go Around
Have enough non-perishable food to feed each person for three days. Crackers, power bars, canned food items with a pull-tab top, and single-serve packets like tuna and peanut butter can all be eaten simply. Don't forget the can opener, paper plates and utensils.
In Case of Emergency
Have a box with emergency items: first aid kit, flashlights and batteries, candles and matches, a hand-crank radio and a tool kit. Consider adding a solar charger to your kit to power devices like cell phones or anything with an USB port in case of a power outage.
A hand-crank radio is a useful communicating tool when the power goes out. With a few simple turns, AM and FM radio stations come in, and it's easy to get updates on a disaster situation.
Power Outage Helper
Flashlights that charge in outlets and switch on in case of a power loss become instant safety lights.
We Gotta Go
Have a "go bag" for every member of the family in case you need to evacuate. Needs include a rugged pair of shoes, a few t-shirts, a jacket or sweatshirt, and all your desired personal hygiene items. Don't forget socks and underwear! You wouldn't want to be without them for a few days.
Man's Best Friend
Make a "go bag" for your dog or cat too. Have a leash, carrier, bowls, treats and food ready for them when they go with you. Include a back up collar with your information on it in case your pet isn't in theirs in an emergency situation. One possible option is to put an out of town contact's information on the collar, in case local phone lines are down.

They're Watching You
Conspiracy theories blow my mind. I either love them or hate them, but I whole-heartedly disagree with them whenever I hear one I haven't heard before.
Regardless of my beliefs, however, I really do enjoy reading wild conspiracy theories online or having a friend or stranger tell me a new one, whether widely-held or an invention of their own. The craziest thing about conspiracy theories is how many there are out there in the world, and I'm not talking the moon landing or JFK's assassination: there are conspiracy theories about practically everything.
What's psychologically fascinating about conspiracy theories is that they seem so far-fetched, they might just be true, but society has conditioned us to ignore conspiracy theorists as eccentric and paranoid. Why do we create and promote conspiracy theories? As author Alan Moore once wrote,
"The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening – Nobody is in control.. The world is rudderless."
However you feel about conspiracy theories, we can guarantee that the ones on the following pages are pretty mind-blowing in their own ways. Redditors were asked to share which theories they seriously believed in, and their responses will definitely have you wondering!
Get ready to question your own beliefs!

About MeI'm currently living and training in London as a dancer but although this is my main focus I'm slowly trying to get into modelling as a second focus.
I'm an incredibly positive person and I realize that having a good portfolio is always beneficial to a dancer and for this reason I'm happy to shoot for photographers that are willing to help me in helping them!
I'd be very interested in doing dance based shoots; however I wouldn't hesitate to take up other opportunities if they arise and I am suitable.

The lateral mobility of cell adhesion molecules is highly restricted at septate junctions in
A complex of three cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) Neurexin IV(Nrx IV), Contactin (Cont) and Neuroglian (Nrg) is implicated in the formation of septate junctions between epithelial cells in
We conducted photobleaching experiments on whole living
The strands of septate junctions display a stable behavior
In insects, septate junctions localize to the apico-lateral domain of epithelial cells underneath the zonula adherens and play the role of the vertebrate tight junctions by preventing paracellular diffusion
Nrx IV is a transmembrane molecule with a multimodular ectodomain including several laminin-G and EGF-like domains. Nrx IV interacts in cis with Cont, a glypiated CAM of the Ig superfamily (Ig-CAM), which only displays heterophilic binding activity
An interesting question is whether the strands of septate junctions display either dynamic characteristics or stable behavior to achieve their role of barrier.
Results and discussion
The lateral mobility of Nrg is restricted at septate junctions of epithelial cells in whole living embryos
We used a
We analyzed the lateral mobility of Nrg using FRAP in whole living embryos at stage 15. At this stage, Nrg-GFP expression is restricted to the apico-lateral domain in epithelial cells indicating it is recruited at septate junctions. A photobleach was applied in areas of septate junctions and the fluorescence recovery was monitored in the bleached spot. These experiments were usually not extended for longer time than 160 s because of extensive epidermis movements. Photobleaching of a 3–5 μm2 area was performed either in the apico-lateral (Fig.

Organization of adhesion complexes at epithelial cell contacts in the wild-type and mutant embryos. (A) Molecular organization of septate junctions in wild-type embryos. NrxIV forms a tripartite complex with Cont and Nrg. A highly ordered complex may be generated due to the binding of Nrx IV with the scaffolding molecules Vari and Cora. Several additional components including Gliotactin, Sinuous and Dlg are required for the formation of septate junctions, but the network of interactions mediating bridging with the Nrx IV complex is largely unknown. Vari, which displays a multimodular structure, may homo-multimerize and mediate linkage with Cora, Dlg or Sinuous. FRAP analysis indicates that the mobile fraction of Nrg and Nrx IV is low. (B) In

Lateral mobility of Caspr/Paranodin in transfected cells
Next, we compared the dynamics of the Nrx IV CAM when anchored or not at septate junctions in live embryos with the mobility of its vertebrate orthologue Caspr/Paranodin at the membrane of transfected cells without any junctional complex or intercellular contacts. We examined the lateral mobility of Paranodin fused with GFP at the C-ter in neurobastoma N2a cells. Paranodin-GFP was co-transfected together with Contactin, which is required for its cell surface expression in vertebrate cells

Data are normalized to yield an intensity of zero immediately after photobleaching and represents the average of 8 individual traces (mean ± SEM). Deletion of the cytoplasmic tail of paranodin significantly (P < 0.05) increased the mobile fraction of paranodin-GFP as assessed using ANOVA.
We evaluated the role of the cytoplasmic region of Paranodin in its lateral mobility at the cell membrane. We analyzed the mobility of a mutant form, ParanodinΔcyto, with deletion of the cytoplasmic tail. The length of the C-ter of transmembrane proteins has been shown to influence their lateral mobility
We report here the first
The restricted mobility of CAMs at septate junctions depends on both adhesive interactions and clustering by scaffolding molecules. The membrane mobility of Nrg-GFP and Nrx IV-GFP is strongly increased in mutant embryos presenting alteration of septate junctions. An important distinction between the effects of the loss of cell membrane and scaffolding components has been revealed by dynamic analysis. Mutations of septate junction CAMs significantly increase the mobility of the transmembrane components, but mutations in scaffolding elements have an even greater effect. These data underline the major role of scaffolding molecules in stabilizing highly ordered adhesion complexes at septate junctions.
Drosophila stocks
Stocks were obtained from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center and published sources
Preparation of embryos
Embryos were collected on yeast agar plates and aged to stage 15 (12 h–13 h 30 at 25°C). The embryos were dechorionated for 2 min with bleach (6% chlore), rinsed with water, blotted dry with paper towels, gently picked up with double-sided tape and placed in a Petri dish and covered with water for FRAP analysis.
Transfected cells and Caspr/Paranodin constructs
The DNA construct pRc-CMV/F3 encodes the full-length sequence of F3/Contactin, Paranodin-GFP encodes the full-length sequence and Paranodin-Δcyto encodes the extracellular and transmembrane domains of Caspr/Paranodin (aa1-1297) fused with GFP in pEGFP-N1
FRAP analysis
The FRAP analysis was performed on a Leica (Wetzlar, Germany) TCS SP2 laser scanning microscope equipped with 1.2 NA 63× water immersion objective. Imaging of GFP was performed using the 488-nm beam of an argon laser at 7% laser power, with the electronic zoom at 5×, scan speed of 400 Hz, box size 512 × 512 pixels. Images (two averages) were acquired with an open pinhole. These conditions were found to give minimal photobleaching over the observed time. The ROI for bleaching (3–5 μm2) was delineated and the FRAP sequence was started: 3–6 reference images were acquired first, then the sample was bleached by the laser at 100 % for 3 s (2 bleach scans), and fluorescence recovery was recorded for 160 s using the Leica FRAP software. Acquisition of z-stacks before and after bleaching indicates that the bleached spot can be detected over 2.8 μm in the z-axis [see Additional file

First of all, why do you think your dad is hot or cute?
Second of all, this still does not prove that you and your mom have the same taste in guys. Because:
Your mom also likes guys like your brothers. And even if your friends might like your brothers (which can be awkward), you should not, and I mean should not like your brothers.
I mean you should like your brothers, but not in that way.

PURPOSE: CPAP is the therapeutic modality of choice for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Regular use of CPAP is effective in improving polysomnographic variables and long term complications of OSA. The impact of CPAP therapy on the Quality of life of the OSA patient still remains unclear despite several studies.
METHODS: We assessed the Quality of life of 65 OSA patients using the Calgary sleep apnea quality of life index (SAQLI) on the morning following the polysomnography study. Forty five of these 65 diagnosed patients used CPAP regularly. After about 3 years of CPAP use patients were interviewed and subjected to the same Questionnaire again. Twenty two patients turned up for the interview and Paired t test was used to compare the Quality of life before and after treatment.
RESULTS: Of the 22 subjects (19 Males, 3 Females) who completed the study the mean age was 47.36 years (+10.48 years), height 164.86 cm (+8.29cm) and BMI (Body mass Index) was 28.69 (+6.25). Mean apnea-hypopnea index was 22.46+13.09. Mean scores of the four SAQLI domains Daily function, Social Interaction, Emotional and Symptoms were 3.20(+0.78), 3.67(+0.68), 3.79(+0.52) and 4.5(+0.77) before the CPAP and 3.42(+0.76), 3.71(+0.74), 3.92(+0.54) and 5.03(+0.82) after the CPAP. The total mean SAQLI score increased from 3.79 (+0.40) to 4.02(+0.41) after CPAP therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the general population, patients with OSA had a lower Quality of life, which improved after 3 years of CPAP therapy. There was significant improvement in Daily function, Emotional and Symptoms domains of SAQLI as well as total SAQLI score.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: CPAP not only ameliorates the symptoms of OSA but also improves Quality of Life also. It doesnt only prevent long term complications of OSA but improves overall wellbeing of patient.

Divergence between Stocks and Commodities Signaled Investors' Preference
Commodities remained firm before US market opens. Earlier in the day, European PMI sent some mixed messages to the market. The Eurozone manufacturing PMI climbed +1.3 points to 45.3 in August, compared with market expectations of 44.2. The services PMI, however, fell to 47.5 from 47.9 in July. In Germany, the manufacturing PMI recovered to 42.1 in August from 43. However, the services PMI slipped to the contractionary territory to 48.3 in August.
After breaking above resistance levels at around 1500 on Tuesday, platinum extend rally to a 3-month high of 1563.6. The noble metal's recent gain has been driven by worries that labor strike in Lonmin's mines in South Africa would spread quickly. In fact, apart from the labor action in Lonmin, thousands of night shift workers at Amplats' Thembelanie mine in Rustenburg staged a sit-in last week. Mine closures due to strikes might inevitably result in loss of production and this would help adjust the demand/supply balance which has been staying at surplus for years.
In the US, crude oil prices and the stock markets used to move with high, positive correlation. However, the chart below indicated that the relationship has changed months ago. The S&P 500 Index broke above the 2012 top made in April last week while the WTI contract, while strengthening, remained around -12% below this year's peak made in the first half of the year. The divergence is even more significant if we compare the S&P 500 Index with copper prices. The chart showed that copper prices have continued to struggle at multi-month low levels while the S&P has been trending higher. While both stocks and commodities are risky assets, investors appeared to favor the former more. This indicated that investors were more confident on the US market rather than the global market as a whole. Hopes of further QE from the Fed have helped sustain strength of the stock markets.
US Initial jobless claims unexpectedly rose to 372K in the week ended August 18 from 366K in the prior week. The increase exceeded market expectations of 365K, sending the data to a one-month high. The four-week moving average, as a result, climbed to 368K. New home sales probably gained +3.43% to 362K in July.

If you're a gardener and love to cook, you know the joys of growing your own fresh herbs. But many gardeners are starved for garden space and often are looking for places to grow plants. Luckily, herbs fit in containers beautifully. You can grow perennial herbs, such as rosemary, lavender and chives, year round in pots. You'll just have to bring them indoors in a cold winter area. I love growing container herbs in window boxes, railing plants, hanging baskets or pots close to my kitchen so I can grab a handful of parsley and basil when making my mother's famous tomato sauce.
The first step is to select the pots. Large clay or plastic pots are great for bigger herbs, such as rosemary, 'Genovese' basil and anise hyssop. For smaller herbs, try using the 4-inch sized VELCRO® Brand PEEL AWAY® Seedling Pots. These pots are large enough to grow herbs such as parsley, 'Fern Leaf' dill, thyme and cilantro. You can keep the plants in the pots all summer harvesting as you need them. In fall, compost old annual herbs and replant a new indoor crop or keep your perennial herbs growing in a sunny window. Here are more herb growing tips.
What's your favorite summer dish that features homegrown herbs? Talk to us in the comments below, and stay tuned for more from Charlie later on this summer.
