Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, NY
Inhalation therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for many pediatric pulmonary diseases. Nebulizer therapy is widely prescribed by pediatricians particularly for younger patients. Since many patients receive these treatments in a supine position, thus tilting the nebulizer cup to an approximate 45 degree angle, we speculated that delivery angle might influence nebulizer solution output. In the present study we aim to evaluate the effects of nebulizer cup angle on bronchodilator solution output at different fill volumes, drug concentrations, and running times.
We tested 4 continuous jet nebulizer brands: MICRO MIST® & T UP-DRAFT® (Hudson RCI); Airlife™ Misty-Neb™ (Allegiance Healthcare Corp.); and Aeromist B&F Medical (Allied, Inc.). Nebulizers were operated at 10 LPM (compressed air at 50 PSI) and solution output was determined by gravimetric analysis at with delivery angles of 90 and 45 degrees (N=6, for each determination). Operating conditions (OC) were as follows: (A) albuterol nebulizer solution (2.5 mg/3ml) run for 5 minutes; (B) albuterol nebulizer solution (1.25 mg/3ml) run for 5 minutes; (C) operating condition (A) + ipratropium bromide nebulizer solution (0.5 mg/2.5ml) (fill volume 5.5 ml); and (D) operating condition (C) run for 9.2 minutes. Statistical analysis done by ANOVA for repeated measures.
Please refer to the tableNebulizerMicro Mist®T Up-DRAFTMisty-Neb™Aeromist B&FOC90°45°90°45°90°45°90°45°A1.481.34*0.89*0.631.571.37*1.29*0.56B1.321.34*0.88*0.541.471.43*1.10*0.41C1.231.400.730.721.261.261.321.31D2.682.80*2.11*1.49*3.05*2.69*2.57*1.81
(expressed as ml) are shown below (★P<0.05):
Aerosolized bronchodilator therapy in the supine position (thus tilting the nebulizer cup to a 45 degree angle), significantly decreases solution output for 2 of the 4 nebulizers tested. Increasing fill volume, but not bronchodilator concentration or run time, buffers this detrimental effect.
Effects of treatment position on drug delivery and therapeutic outcomes should be considered when prescribing nebulized bronchodilators.

data suggest that PEDF, via its potent antiangiogenic capabilities, may contribute to superior healing in wounds on the trunks of horses by protecting from excessive formation of vascular granulation tissue
The results indicated that the reduction of VEGF (show VEGFA Proteins) and increase in PEDF are causative to the evolution of infantile hemangioma. PEDF may play a key role in the spontaneous regression of infantile hemangioma and may become an important potential therapeutic agent for infantile hemangioma.
Results suggest that increased adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL (show PNPLA2 Proteins)) expression is associated with increased adiposity and stromal proliferation in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
results demonstrate that PEDF maintains tumor-suppressive functions in fibroblasts to prevent CAF (show KAT2B Proteins) conversion and illustrate the mechanisms by which melanoma cells silence stromal PEDF to promote malignancy
The changes in the SERPINH1 (show SERPINH1 Proteins) and SERPINF1 genes in patients with osteogenesis imperfect were synonymous polymorphisms or missense changes located in non-coding regions.
The present data provided evidence that reducing C3 activation can decreases VEGF (show VEGFA Proteins) and increase PEDF mRNA level in retinal pigment epithelial cells.
PEDF represents a marker for transient cartilage during all neonatal and postnatal developmental stages and promotes the termination of cartilage tissue by upregulation of matrix-degrading factors and downregulation of cartilage-specific genes.
we report on two apparently unrelated children with OI type VI who had the same unusual homozygous variant in intron 6 of SERPINF1
A missense mutation in PNPLA2 (show PNPLA2 Proteins) is the rare cause of severe dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to neutral lipid storage disease.
A novel deletion was identified in PNPLA2 (show PNPLA2 Proteins) protein from a patient with complete deficiency of adipose triglyceride lipase (show PNPLA2 Proteins).
We confirmed that expression of SERPINF1 in the liver restored the serum level of PEDF. We also demonstrated that PEDF secreted from the liver was biologically active by showing the expected metabolic effects of increased adiposity and impaired glucose tolerance in Serpinf1(-/-) mice.
Study demonstrated the inhibitory effect of PEDF on insulin (show INS Proteins)-dependent molecular mechanisms of glucose homeostasis, and suggests that PEDF could be a specific target in the management of metabolic disorders.
Alpha-2-Antiplasmin mediated myofibroblast formation and the development of renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction via induction of TGF-beta (show TGFB1 Proteins).
PEDF inhibits retinal microvascular dysfunction induced by 12/15-lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoids in diabetic retinopathy.
Data suggest that pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL (show PNPLA2 Proteins)) may serve as therapeutic targets for managing vascular hyperpermeability in sepsis.
describe alterations in the PEDF signaling pathway and subventricular zone stem cell self-renewal at a very young age, which could be involved in the premature senescence observed in the SAM (show TTN Proteins)-P8 model
The combination of rAAV-PEDF with hyperthermia has synergistic therapeutic effects on established solid tumors, with no side effects.
PEDF mediates reduced vasculogenesis.
The results demonstrated that PEDF can protect 661W cells against light-induced cell death and suggest that the binding of PEDF to cell surface PEDF-R triggers a prosurvival signaling pathway.
data suggest that the PEDF expression makes significant contribution to modulation of the inflammatory and angiogenic phenotype of the lung endothelium
PEDF suppresses IL-1beta (show IL1B Proteins)-mediated JNK (show MAPK8 Proteins) activation to improve hepatocyte insulin (show INS Proteins) signaling
After cryotherapy of the sclera, pigment epithelium-derived factor levels increased 44.8% compared to untreated controlsand stayed at that level until day 14. It returned to baseline by day 21. (untreated).
the inhibitory effect of PEDF appears to be mediated via the processing of VEGF-R2 by gamma-secretase
PEDF inhibits key steps in the angiogenic response of retinal capillary endothelial cells, including cell proliferation and vascular tubule formation. Gene expression of PEDF is negatively regulated by glucose, insulin (via mTOR) and VEGF.
Results suggest that leptin (show LEP Proteins) might elicit angiogenesis through vascular endothelial growth factor induction as well as pigment epithelium-derived factor suppression in pericytes.
PEDF promotes growth of pericytes through autocrine production of PDGFB.
PEDF and VEGFR-1 (show FLT1 Proteins) have roles in the negative regulation of angiogenesis
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serpin family, although it does not display the serine protease inhibitory activity shown by many of the other serpin family members. The encoded protein is secreted and strongly inhibits angiogenesis. In addition, this protein is a neurotrophic factor involved in neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells.

"...he (Dalai Lama) has no power over Tibet's political issues. So the overall social situation will remain stable, and we (China) are prepared to handle some minor turbulence after his death," stated head of the standing committee of the autonomous region's people's congress and former chairman of Tibet, Qiangba Puncog.
"Of course there will be some small shock waves due to religious factors, but we will take that into consideration and will surely guarantee long-term political stability in Tibet," Puncog added while trying to imagine the pro-Dalai Lama period in Tibet and as well as in China.
Following some unrest in the country, 76-year-old Dalai Lama was forced by the Chinese government to flee with his supporters in 1959. The 14th Dalai Lama then reached India and formed the - Tibetan government-in-exile.
The entire Tibetan region in 2008 witnessed a violent anti-government riots that killed at least 22 people and set off a wave of protests across Tibetan areas of western China. However, the region is quiet now.
Despite China's blaming of creating chaos in the country, Dalai Lama always rejected all charges. Another Chinese leader and the party chief of Tibet, Zhang Qingli, claimed, "It's not that the anti-Chinese forces and the Dalai clique haven't thought of stirring up unrest in Tibet since the Mar 14 incident."
However, sources also quoted Chinese officials as stating that the reincarnation tradition cannot be abandoned and that the next Dalai Lama must be born in a Tibetan area under Chinese control.
Recently in a statement, Dalai Lama insisted that his reincarnation would be born in exile and has also said the tradition could end with his death.

The Market Speaks: Texas Coal-Fired Power Officially Unprofitable in January
Coal-fired power plants generated some 30 percent less electricity in January than they did during the same month in 2011 -- a huge drop for a a workhorse fleet that has historically fed this state's sprawling transmission system with a steady supply of baseload power since pretty much forever.
Problem is, as the ERCOT market monitor's report illustrates, sometimes it just doesn't pay to make it.
Because natural gas continues to set the marginal price of electricity in Texas's deregulated market, cheap gas shaves profit margins for coal-fired power plants. Unlike, say, the Lower Colorado River Authority, which sets rates and guarantees generators a certain return, private companies serving most of the 75 percent of Texas within the ERCOT grid are at the mercy of the market.
So, when the price of natural gas flirts with $2.50 per million British Thermal Units, the wholesale price of electricity occasionally isn't worth the cost of generating it. Dallas-based Luminant, for example, was forced to back down some of its coal-fired units last year in response to low wholesale power prices, it announced in its grim10-k filing last week.

Energy analysts predict a number of older coal-fired plants will be idled or shut down, primarily for economic reasons. The question is: Will natural gas-fired plants proliferate in their place? Tough to say, we're told. Unlike coal power, they're easy to start up and back down. They're used primarily to supplement the grid during periods of high demand, like mornings and evenings when rates (and profits) are highest. But those profits may not be enough to justify the price tag for financiers.
And natural gas is an inherently unpredictable horse to bet on long term. Prices for this volatile commodity could jump just as suddenly as they tanked in 2008 during the shale boom. As we've written about here before, liquefying natural gas and shipping it out of the country could drive prices back up, making coal-fired plants the money machines they once were -- and beneficiaries out of shale gas producers and the electricity sector. Hell, maybe even Big Coal and its big Wyoming open-pit mines will get a bump.
If they don't, the industry's battered bottom line won't be the only casualty. Our electricity system is struggling to keep pace with the load we place on it. Grid operator ERCOT forecasts rolling blackouts as early as next summer. The quick fix, the private electricity industry says, is removing the $3,000 per megawatt-hour market cap which puts a ceiling on how far prices can climb during scarcity. Currently, it's the highest cap in the country. They claim the key to electric reliability is found in sending the right "price signals." In wonkspeak, it means our electric bill aren't big enough to spur private investment in new power plants.
It would be fantastic if we could conserve our way out of this mess, but with the population of the DFW area growing roughly the size of Tempe, Arizona, each year, that could be a tall order.

After so many months of preparation, at last I have set off on my 6-week library tour. All the props have been packed, and instructions have been written for the neighbours who are to feed our cat Goblin.
Beth and Mike from Scottish Book Trust drove me to the very north of Scotland. On the way we stopped in Inverness to do a signing at Waterstones. It was very crowded, and a lot of the children told me, "We're doing a project about you, with Mr Edwards"! Just as the end of the queue was in sight, Mr Edwards himself (teacher at Smithton Primary School) appeared, accompanied by his 5-year-old son Finlay. Here is a picture of them (below left).
Sky News interviewed me in Waterstones – very good publicity for the start of the libraries tour, since as well as celebrating libraries I want to fuel anger against all the cuts and closures which are happening in many places – though less so in Scotland than in England.
At last we reached John O'Groats. The famous signpost had been taken down for the night, but here is a picture of me standing by a slightly less famous one (top right).
My husband Malcolm has just joined us. (He took the train to Thurso) and we are all set for tomorrow's events in Thurso and Wick.
The event in Inverness was a real treat; Waterstones at the Eastgate Centre did some superb advertising and more than 150 families showed up to take advantage of the opportunity to get their Julia Donaldson books signed.
The drive north was traffic light, which made for smooth driving and, as we reached John O'Groats, the sun came out for the first time all day, and we enjoyed a very lovely sunset over Caithness.
Beth enjoyed the landscape so much, she claims to be moving to the hinterlands of the north Highlands.

Great husband and wife team Beverly and James Rubio. Based in Hilo Island of Hawaii. This ridiculously talented couple shot our wedding and they were the buzz for days to pass after the wedding. I truly believe this couples style of photo journalism captures every special moment unrehearsed and natural. What I love most about there work, you can see peoples emotions come to life. James and Beverly truly have a creative eye. When I browsed through past weddings I really felt like I was there.

LeanIn.org to partner with Getty images
"We need to see women, both in pictures and in writing, who have agency and are powerful."
Today at The MAKERS Conference, Sheryl Sandberg announced a partnership between LeanIn.org and Getty Images to offer a special collection of images which will represent women and families in more empowering ways. As Sandberg explained, "We have a really long way to go. One of the things [women] suffer from is low expectations." When women won 20 percent of the seats in the US Senate, the story in the media was that women were taking over the Senate, she explained. "Fifty percent of the population getting 20 percent of the seats isn't a takeover; it's a travesty."
Find a sneak peek at some of the new collection's photos in the gallery above.

John Oliver Broke the FCC's Website
In this past Sunday's episode of John Oliver's new HBO show, Last Week Tonight, the former Daily Show correspondent encouraged the internet's worst trolls to leave comments on FCC's comment page regarding the Net Neutrality issue.
It was recently announced by the FCC that there will be a section on their website where anybody can leave a comment regarding the upcoming decision on Open Internet, a move that was suppose to give the impression that the FCC actually cares what you think.
Oliver dedicated an entire segment to the Net Neutrality story encouraging the internet trolls who leave terrible, hurtful, uncalled-for and disgusting comments to videos and stories to take to the FCC's open comment section and do their worst. And the trolls did just that.
In less than 24 hours, internet users crashed the FCC's website. KEEP IT UP!
We've been experiencing technical difficulties with our comment system due to heavy traffic. We're working to resolve these issues quickly.

In this ongoing series we are talking about how to ride your bike all winter here in Boston. Yes it can be done, and yes it can be fun. We have already talked about what to do as it gets colder, in this article we are going to talk about how to keep your bicycle happy in the snow and ice.
As one intrepid visitor to our city described it, the "Boston wash" (that is the mix of snow, salt, oil, grit, and water) can destroy a bicycle in short order. Brake cables rust and snap, cogs melt, chain rings fall apart, frames look like Swiss cheese, chains grind to a halt, gears stop shifting, even rubber wheel can succumb to this potent mix.
When it snows (and it will snow), the city of Boston has the answer. SALT. Many a morning I have hit the streets and wondered how the city can afford to pave the streets in diamonds, only to discover that it is a crusty layer of salt and sand. When this salt is mixed with a slushy snow it can destroy a bicycle faster than an MBTA bus. So how are you going to protect your bicycle from this menace?
Protecting your bicycle from a Boston winter will depend on what kind of bicycle you have. Read the following instructions to figure out what to do. After we deal with bike specific upkeep, we will go over component health, bicycle cleaning, and general upkeep tips.
What is your bicycle made of?
Is your bicycle (or components) made of Steel, Cromoly, or some other steel derivative?
Yes: See Steel Bikes
No: See Aluminum and Other Bikes
How many gears does your bicycle have?
Does your bicycle have more than one gear (internal geared hubs count as a single speed)
Yes: See Multi-Speed
No: See Single Speed
How is your bottom bracket constructed?
Does your bicycle have a sealed bottom bracket?
Yes: See Sealed Bottom Brackets
No: See Loose Bearing Bottom Brackets
Steel Bikes:
People like to say "steel is real" and for good reason, you can run a steel bicycle into a wall and it is a good chance it will survive with only a dent or two. Steel bikes ride well and have a flex to them that makes them feel alive under you as you ride. However steel has one major drawback, it is highly susceptible to rust.
Rust (Iron Oxide) is what happens when steel (iron) water and air get together. When water gets on the steel parts of your bicycle several things start to happen. First the water (the water acts as an electrolyte, when you add salt to the water this reaction works even better) combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form carbolic acid (the same acid that they use to make the bubbles in soda) This acid dissolves the iron, this reaction will cause the water to break down into hydrogen and oxygen. The free oxygen and the dissolved iron combine to form iron oxide (rust).
If you have a bicycle frame made of steel, cromoly, or any other compound that is mostly iron/steel you could have rust problems. Older chain rings (can be steel), shifter and brake cables (steel), baskets or water bottle holders (often steel), and some older wheel rims (steel) will rust away rapidly in the salty watery mix of a Boston winter.
To protect your steel parts from rust you must keep the key components of rust away from them. Because it is unlikely that you will be able to keep air away from your bicycle you must the water and the salt away from your bike. To protect your frame you will need to keep water off the outside and inside of your bicycle.
To protect the outside you will need a good paint job. The tiniest scratch in the paint is enough to let the evil rust in. I suggest you use a wax (the same kind you use on a car) to wax the outside of your bicycle. You wax your bicycle the same way you wax a car (follow the instructions on the can).
To protect the inside of your bicycle (yes the inside will rust if you get it wet and salty, which will most certainly happen in a Boston winter) use Frame Saver. Frame Saver is a product you spray on the inside of your bike (take the seat and handle bars off and spray it down the tubes) and it will keep rust from forming on the inside of your bicycle frame. We will discuss how to keep the steel components from rusting later.
Aluminum and Other Bicycles:
If you have a bicycle made out of aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, plastic, or some other non-steel material, you are going to have a better time during the winter. All of these materials are much more resistant to corrosion. Titanium, and Carbon fiber are almost immune to corrosion, Aluminum is also very resistant, but get them wet and salty enough and even the plastic resin coating of carbon fiber bikes will begin to fall apart. To protect your non-steel bicycle from the winter I suggest waxing the frame. You will not need to do anything to the inside of your bicycle.
Multi-Speed Bicycles:
Multi-speed bicycles mean lots of cogs and chain rings. Lots of cogs and chain rings means lots of places for slush, water, grit and salt to weasel its way in and grow a fine rust garden. If you insist on riding your road bike through the winter, you are going to have some trouble. All of those chain rings and cogs mean that you will be doing A LOT of cleaning. I would very much suggest you get a single speed bicycle for winter riding. If you absolutely can not be bothered to clean your bicycle after every snow storm/slush/rain/etc you could also just admit to yourself that at the end of winter you are going to buy a new chain, chain ring set, and cassette (which can be lots of $$).
Single Speed Bicycles:
Single speed bicycles are bicycle with a single chain ring in the front, and a single cog in the back. This includes single speeds, internally geared back hubs, and fixed gears. They are great for winter riding because they offer way less surface area for winter to work it's evil rust magic. You will still need to clean your bicycle, but it will be much faster, and you will love how easy it is.
Sealed Bottom Brackets VS Loose Bearing Bottom Brackets:
Bottom brackets are the little mechanical wonders that your cranks connect to. It is located hidden away from view at the bottom of your bicycle where your crank arms connect to to the chain ring. If you flip your bicycle over and look at the part at the bottom you will see where your bottom bracket lives, this is called the bottom bracket housing.
You might need to ask a bike shop mechanic to determine this for you, but bottom brackets and hubs come in two basic flavors. Sealed, and loose bearing. Sealed bottom brackets have bearings that are encased in a little shell, this shell is will protect them from most of the ravages of winter. If you have a sealed bottom bracket you will need to make sure that the threads of your bottom bracket are well greased, this will keep water and salt out of the bottom bracket housing.
If you have loose bearing bottom bracket or a steel frame (steel frames will often have holes in the bottom bracket housing to let water drain out) the bottom bracket will be much more susceptible to rust. I would suggest you find out if your bottom bracket can be replaced with a sealed bottom bracket. Also spray the bottom bracket housing with Frame Saver. If you can't do either I would suggest you use a different bicycle for winter riding. Making sure the bottom bracket threads are well greased will also help.
Cleaning Your Bicycle:
Keeping your components healthy (brake cables, racks, baskets, water bottle holders, seat posts, chains, chain rings, cassettes, cogs, etc), is all about keeping your bike clean. Things wont rust if they are not exposed to water and salt. Cleaning your bike in winter breaks down into two categories.
Day to day: Every day when you get home, grab a rag and wipe your entire bicycle down. Wipe the frame, the wheels, the spokes, the entire bike. Get the brakes, the chain, the chain rings, everything. Try to wipe off any water/salt/grit that has gotten on your bike. This takes about 4 minutes, and will keep your bicycle SO HAPPY in the winter. You may be tempted to let the salt build up, but you will be sorry if you do.
After is snows/slushes/rains/etc: After a ride through the rain, or slush, or snow do the same thing you do for a day to day cleaning, but also lube the chain. To lube the chain you first wipe the chain down with a rag (try to get all the nasty off), then put some chain lube (do not use WD40, WD40 stands for Water Displacement formula 40, it is used to drive water out of hinges and other mechanical parts, in no way is it a lubricant) on the chain and rotate the chain a couple of times to let it work its way in, then wipe down the chain again to get all the extra lube off. If your chain is really dirty lube it heavily then wipe it down, lube, wipe, lube, wipe, etc until the crud is off, then lube it one last time, then wipe off all the extra lube.
Sexy bicycle cleaning:
About two or three times during the winter you will need to give your bike a real good wash. This can be difficult because it is freezing outside, you can't go outside with a bucket and sponge. It's time for a sexy bicycle shower. Seriously, bike showers are not only sexy, but your bicycle will love it.
When you take your baby in for it's first shower, don't let water spray directly on your bicycle, it will work its way into places you don't want it. Also be warned, bike crud will stain soap scum black, so be prepared to wash the tub when you are done. If you live with others don't let them see you, they wont understand.
I use a bucket, and a cup. I let water slowly run over my bike while scrubbing gently with a sponge to get the nasty off. Once the bike is clean, dry it well, and allow it to sit inside for several hours (over a heating vent or near a radiator will help any trapped water evaporate) then re-lube the chain.
General Upkeep Tips:
Keep your bicycle inside. Don't let the snow and nasty fall on your bike all night every night. It will only make it rust out faster.
Don't park your bike in a snow bank and expect it to be alive come spring time, it wont be.
Keep your chain lubed to keep it alive all winter. Chains are the first thing to go, as they get the must grit/salt/water in them.
Lube your brake cables and shifter cables. You can actually drop a couple drips of chain lube into the brake and shifter cable housings and this will protect your steel cables from rusting and seizing up all winter.
Keep the brakes (the parts that move, not the brake pads, putting lube on the pads will defeat the point of brakes), and derailleurs lubed as well. Any moving part needs a bit of lube or grease to keep going all winter.
Your brake pads are going to wear out during a winter. Salt, water, and sand seems to be the perfect mix to destroy a set of pads. Brake pads are cheap and easy to switch out yourself, keeping them fresh will make sure you can stop quickly (important when it is slick out).
Use fenders, they will keep water, salt and crap off your bike.
The perfect winter bike:
In my opinion the perfect winter bike is an aluminum framed fixed gear bicycle with full fenders, only a front brake, and a sealed bearing bottom bracket. The reason I say this is because this bike will have the absolute minimum of moving parts on it. Having a fixed gear means you really only need a front brake (less cables and cable housing to worry about, as well as less brake pads to worry about). The single chain ring and cog mean that it will be very easy to clean them, as well as to clean the chain. The full fenders will keep water and salt off the frame, and the aluminum frame will be very resistant to corrosion.
If you don't have the "perfect" winter bicycle you can do your best. A non-steel frame is better than a steel one, a single speed better than a multi-speed, sealed bottom bracket better than loose bearing.
Another option is to build yourself a very cheap "winter bike." This is your $40 Craig's List special, that you ride into the ground each winter and recycle or give away when it gets nice out. You will most likely spend less on a 40 dollar bike than you will on replacing all the nice components on your fancy road bike after a winter or hard riding. I don't like this option because it is wasteful, but economically speaking it might be your best bet. If you can manage to get a winter bike to survive several winters though a good cleaning regiment you may be able to ecologically justify this approach.
Keeping your bicycle well maintained is an important part of winter riding safety. You don't want your bicycle to fall apart under you when you most need it (to get you home in the cold). Keeping your bicycle clean and well maintained will also keep your wallet happy. A pinch of prevention is worth many tens of dollars in replaced parts at the end of a long salty winter.
If you have any good winter bicycle upkeep tips share them in the comments, or if you have questions drop them there as well and I will see if I can answer them.
If you ride all winter and want to proclaim your street cred pick up one of our great "This bike survived a Boston winter" stickers at the store.

Brian: Ouch misjudged.... don't let me.Mature
Smack , my body makes contact with a row of blue lockers , Ray and a gain of werewolves stand behind him.
" Bad day huh?" I comment
Wack, he slugs me in the face.
" Don't play .....human." He quietly says the last word
" Oh but you don't want to have them all introduced to the ....."
He knees me in the chest.
" For once can you shut - up?"
" No." I smile knowing I was pushing his tiny brians temper to a boil.
" Now boys , Violence is..." A female teacher voice is cut short be the fact Rays had just grown a tail , and he his cannine where growing. She began to run.
" That can't be goo......"
He slams me into the locker leaving an indentatation of my body in the locker and run after the teacher. His form becoming more and more like a werewolf. He tackeled the woman to the ground instantaineously knocking her out. That was going to hurt.
" Now you!" He points at me in fusteration, " Kill him!"
His werewolf gang began to sallivate. Wow these guys really are mustle heads.
" Lets take this thing outside shall we?" I say getting up, then kicking them all in the face , then darted out the doors with them not to far behind me. I ran into a well hidden area behind a few forest covered hills in the middle it was completely open, A good stand off point. The first wolf came shooting out of the woods, he was fully transformed and his claws looked razer sharp. I ducked under him as he jumped at me. I leaped at him , and picked his leg or arm up and dislocated it , then kicked him his face in.
" One down 9 more to go." I count to my self.Unfortuently the nine had me surrounded, things wheren't going as planned.
" Well Brian, I think your defeat would be one to mark in history, it indeed will be valiant, it will be blood filled. You sins agianst us will be washed from our faces, and things will run smoother." Ray tried to intimidate me.
" Bring it!" I snarled as I smoothly transformed into a beautiful white , with with silver patched furred wolf. My wolf form was bigger than the rest of the gang of wolves. I would be an Alpha wolf had I not betrayed them. I showed them my sharp teeth and my beyond razer sharp claws. Some of them turned tails between there legs. Others just looked scared. Then it began. I swiped two away with a quick sweep, of my paws, two of them flanked me and tackeld me over biting down hard on my chest. I clawed them off , as they let go blood began to stain my white fur which suprisingly turned black. All that left was Ray , and he gave me no chance to fight.
He jumped downwards on me with a fury of claws and teeth. I was finished. He transformed back, taking out a revolver with silver bullets to make sure he got the job done.
" Don't let me die here, Ray." I weakly said , as he pulled the hammer back. He only chuckeled.
I closed my eyes.
I heard his footsteps as he walked away.
" If you don't die from those wounds Brian , I want to fight you one on one, got it." He calls from afar.
He didn't shoot me, what an idiot, I was going to live. I morphed back into a human form. I was bleeding but not dead, I needed to find a place to recover, but where?

Savannah crammed a week's worth of stuff into 48 hours so that she could hurry and catch a flight home from SLC late Saturday afternoon. She packed and cleaned her dorm room, said goodbye to her best friend and roommate, wrote a 6-page American Heritage paper and a14-page Anthropology paper, took three finals, moved all of her stuff into a friend's apartment for a week until she gets back and moves it all into a new dorm room for the spring/summer, and then took a bus to a train to her cousin's car to get to the airport two hours before her flight.
In January, we didn't have an exact date when Savannah's finals would be over for the semester, so we got a stand-by ticket from Craig's brother. Savannah has never flown non-rev before. It's an ordeal for me when I've tried it in the past, and as grateful as we always are to fly for free, I almost never make it through a stand-by day in the airport without shedding a few tears of frustration. It's an adventure to fly without a definite plan, so I tried to prepare Savannah to be flexible, patient, and willing to sleep in an airport.
Savannah had two route options Saturday afternoon. One from SLC to PHX to DAL. One from SLC to DEN to DAL. Both SLC flights left at close to the same time, but there were very few seats available on either flight and lots of wait-listed passengers. Things weren't looking very hopeful. She didn't make the DEN flight, but was able to get on the PHX flight. And fortunately a cute couple from our ward was traveling back home from SLC on that same flight, so we all relaxed a little knowing that she was in good company, and said a quick prayer for tiny tender mercies. While Savannah flew to PHX, Craig scrambled around on the SW website and tried to find another option in case the PHX to DAL flight didn't work out. He found a flight from PHX to AUS that was wide open, but leaving very close to the time her SLC flight would arrive. It would be really close, and Craig would have to drive 3 1/2 hours to AUS to get there in time to meet her flight, but the chances of getting on that one looked so much better than the PHX to DAL flight.
Craig gathered a few necessities and left to drive to AUS while I stayed home and watched the website to track Savannah's PHX flight so that I could call her as soon as she landed and redirect her to the AUS flight. An hour later, her flight landed, Savannah texted, and I gave her the details. I told her to go to the first available and occupied SW counter, and tell the gate attendant what she was trying to do, and have them get her on whichever of the two flights she could make. We stopped texting while she deplaned and I waited to hear from her.
For 15 mintues.
And I watched the website as the PHX to AUS flight went from "ON TIME" to "IN FLIGHT" status. I said another prayer that she had gotten on that flight because the thought of my 18-yr old sleeping in the PHX airport was making me nauseous.
And then a text finally came:
Craig was only about an hour south of Dallas so he turned around and drove straight to the airport, where he waited through a torrential thunder/lightning/hail storm for Savannah's flight to arrive. The rain continued and Savannah's flight (along with all the others that flew into Love Field that night) had to fly around and wait to land until the clouds parted and the rain stopped. Twenty minutes late, but who even cared at that point, her flight landed, people got off, and wet bags came down the carousel. Craig was waiting at Baggage Claim to meet her.
I don't think there's ever been a happier little Mouse or a more relieved Dad that things all worked out better than we hoped. We thanked the cute couple from our ward who happened to be sitting just across the aisle from her on the second flight to DAL. Craig drove straight to In-n-Out for a hamburger for a very hungry little traveler, and then drove home!
Savannah had lots of great stories to tell about people at the desk who were waiting for her flight to land so she could hop on that PHX to DAL flight, and the flight attendant who said, "Oh, you must be Savannah!," and the cute grandpa sitting in the 2nd row of the plane who had been saving the seat next to him for someone wearing a BYU T-shirt, and how they talked the whole way to DAL and he had a carry-on full of PHX oranges that he shared with her. How grateful I am for kind people who are available when I am not. Because lately there are a lot of times when I'm not anymore.
Even writing about this a few days later, the whole experience still feels pretty miraculous. And once again, we are all amazed the charmed life this girl leads. We are so grateful for a Heavenly Father who loves all of us, and who pours out blessings in unexpectedly large and small ways. And we're SUPER grateful that Savannah is home for a whole week!

Byobu, a session manager for the command line
Window Fitter
The Byobu session manager extends the shell, adding a range of useful functions, such as splitting the screen, running programs in the background, or organizing programs in tabs. In particular, administrators who rely on SSH will appreciate Byobu.
If you search Wikipedia for "Byobu," you will find an article on Japanese screens. The Linux tool of the same name [1] is not as decorative, but in terms of versatility and convenience, it is similar to its counterpart from the Far East. Designed to supplement Screen, the Linux full-screen window manager, Byobu is already included in most distributions.

New Insights Into How Antibiotics Damage Human Cells Suggest Novel Strategies For Making Long-Term Antibiotic Use Safer
"Clinical levels of antibiotics can cause oxidative stress that can lead to damage to DNA, proteins and lipids in human cells, but this effect can be alleviated by antioxidants," said Jim Collins, Ph.D., who led the study. Collins, a pioneer of synthetic biology and Core Faculty member at the Wyss Institute, is also the William F. Warren Distinguished Professor at Boston University, where he leads the Center of Synthetic Biology.
Doctors often prescribe antibiotics freely, thinking that they harm bacteria while leaving human tissue unscathed. But over the years reports have piled up about the occasional side effects of various antibiotics, including tendonitis, inner-ear problems and hearing loss, diarrhea, impaired kidney function, and other problems.
Collins suspected these side effects occurred when antibiotics triggered oxidative stress - a condition in which cells produce chemically reactive oxygen molecules that damage the bacteria's DNA and enzymes, as well as the membrane that encloses the cell.
Collins' team had already discovered that antibiotics that kill bacteria do so by triggering oxidative stress in the bacteria. They wondered whether antibiotics caused side effects by triggering oxidative stress in the mitochondria, a bacterium-like organelle that supplies human cells with energy.
Sameer Kalghatgi, Ph.D., a former postdoctoral fellow in Collins' laboratory who is now Senior Plasma Scientist at EP Technologies in Akron, Ohio, and Catherine S. Spina, a M.D./Ph.D. candidate at Boston University and researcher at the Wyss Institute, first tested whether clinical levels of three antibiotics - ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, kanamycin - each cause oxidative stress in cultured human cells. They found that all of these drugs were safe after six hours of treatment, but longer-term treatment of about four days caused the mitochondria to malfunction.
Kalghatgi and Spina then did a series of biochemical tests, which showed that the same three antibiotics damaged the DNA, proteins and lipids of cultured human cells - exactly what one would expect from oxidative stress.
The results mean that "doctors should only prescribe antibiotics when they're called for, and patients should only ask for antibiotics when they have a serious bacterial infection," Collins said.
The team also treated mice with the same three antibiotics in mouse-sized doses similar to what patients receive in the clinic. Long-term treatment with each of the three antibiotics damaged the animal's lipids and caused levels of glutathione, one of the body's natural antioxidants, to fall - another sign of oxidative stress.
To make a difference in the clinic, however, the scientists still needed a way to prevent antibiotic-induced oxidative stress - or a way to remediate it as it was occurring. They found both. They were able to prevent oxidative stress by using a bacteriostatic antibiotic - an antibiotic such as tetracycline that stops bacteria from multiplying but doesn't kill them. They could also ease oxidative stress by mopping up chemically reactive oxygen molecules with an FDA-approved antioxidant called N-acetylcysteine, or NAC, that's already used to help treat children with cystic fibrosis.
The new results come on the heels of two other recent breakthroughs on antibiotic treatment from Collins' group a report in Nature showing that viruses in the gut that infect bacteria harbor genes that confer antibiotic resistance, and another report in Science Translational Medicine showing that silver can boost the effectiveness of many widely used antibiotics.
"Jim and his team are moving at lightning speed toward unlocking the medical mysteries that stand in the way of safe and effective antibiotic treatment," said Don Ingber, M.D., Ph.D., Wyss Institute Founding Director. "Doctors have known for years that antibiotics occasionally cause serious side effects, and Jim's new findings offer not one but two exciting new strategies that could address this long-neglected public health problem."
Next, Collins plans more animal studies to work out the best ways to remediate oxidative stress. But since both bacteriostatic antibiotics and NAC are already FDA-approved, doctors might be using this strategy soon.
"We're interested in seeing if this could be moved toward the clinic," Collins said.
This work was funded by the National Institutes of Health Director's Pioneer Award Program, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. In addition to Collins, Kalghatgi, and Spina, the research team included James C. Costello, Ph.D., a former postdoctoral fellow on Collins' team who's now an Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School; Ruben Morones-Ramirez, Ph.D., a former postdoctoral fellow on Collins' team who is now a professor at Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo Leon in Mexico; Shimyn Slomovic, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow on Collins' team; Anthony Molina, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Wake Forest School of Medicine; Orian Shirihai, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Boston University School of Medicine, and Marc Liesa, Ph.D., a research associate on Shirihai's team at Boston University School of Medicine.

(Chapter contains some violence.)
The first time could probably be considered the most dramatic.
Arthur pushed the door open. The sounds of the party on the floor above floated down to him. He wondered why the hell he had let Morgana talk him into coming to the damn thing. It hadn't taken long to work out why she had wanted him to come, once her blonde, buxom friend Sophia had pounced. After years of his boyfriends, Arthur would have thought Morgana had the idea by now. As he snarled that at her in a low tone the smirk on her face told him everything. She could be an evil-minded mare at times, he thought, pulling the cigarette packet out of his pocket.
At least that was one method of getting rid of them. A socially unacceptable habit. Sometimes they followed him out, but a minute or so of 'accidentally' blowing smoke on people usually got rid of them. Unless of course they smoked themselves, but that problem didn't seem to present itself very often. Arthur propped himself against a wall and flicked his lighter, inhaling heavily. There were probably healthier ways of getting rid of people, but this one he liked. It annoyed his father if nothing else. And Sophia thankfully hadn't followed.
The view he had wasn't inspiring as he looked around the car park that served the flats. There were a few feeble looking bushes planted around in an attempt to beautify the place. Arthur decided it didn't work. Taking another deep drag he considered just wandering off and leaving the party, and Morgana. Then again, she probably had no money for a taxi and he'd end up getting a four in the morning phone call and a demand to come and pick her up. He had better go and give her some money before he left.
It could have been a fairly good party if he had been able to pin down the dark-haired boy that had caught his eye. He had spotted him looking over a few times as well. Arthur had almost met him in the kitchen, brushing against him in the doorway. Before Arthur could say anything though, there had been a loud bellow from the hallway, by the lounge door.
"Merlin, come on with those drinks!"
At least Arthur had learnt his name, and an unusual one at that. He had also felt, thanks to the close contact of the doorway, Merlin tense, his entire body going rigid and there had been a dark flash in his eyes as his head had turned in the direction of the shout. He had recovered quickly, flashing Arthur an apologetic, and slightly cheeky, grin before easing past him. Arthur stood a little closer than necessary so Merlin had to push him aside.
"Sorry," Merlin had muttered.
"Don't be," Arthur had drawled and as his eyes followed Merlin, struggling along with two beer bottles in each hand Arthur had received a death glare from the person who had shouted at Merlin. Arthur looked back at him impassively, he looked vaguely familiar. Arthur watched as he snatched one of the beers from Merlin, and then as Merlin passed the other two out the man put an arm around him possessively. He had also by the look of it demanded to know what the incident was all about. Merlin had glanced back at Arthur, and then turned to his companion. Arthur saw the ripple of tension again, which was then masked by a casual shrug, and Arthur went into the kitchen for another strong drink as he spotted Sophia, and two of her friends, coming after him.
He'd almost got him again at the bathroom but Gwen, one of Morgana's friends whom he could actually stand, had come over to him, and the moment was lost. At least he had got some answers from her.
"Who's the dark-haired guy, Merlin is it?"
"Oh, he's really sweet," Gwen said, guessing Arthur's interest immediately. Arthur couldn't entirely work out why Gwen had ended up friends with Morgana. Gwen was nice. "He's started work at the book shop."
Arthur nodded. "Who's the guy he's with?"
Gwen's face fell. "Oh, Cain, yeah, they've been together a couple of years. Well, Merlin's with him, Cain's not always…" Gwen shrugged, tailing off and looking a little embarrassed. "You had a run in with him once."
"Did I? He does look familiar, but I don't remember that. I probably didn't like him I guess."
"That could be because you don't really like anyone," Gwen said grinning. Arthur had frowned at her.
"Are you trying to tell me I'm anti-social? And it's not true anyway, I like you."
"Thank you," Gwen said smiling a genuinely happy smile. Arthur grinned back, until Gwen peered around him and her eyes widened in mock drama. "Careful, blonde at two o'clock and closing!"
"Christ!" Arthur said in alarm. "Definitely time to be anti-social, I'm off for a smoke!"
He hadn't seen Merlin as he passed through the party, pondering Gwen's comments. It was probably true he didn't like many people. A good number didn't like him. His reputation probably didn't help. All of Morgana's friends heard about him, and it spread well enough after that.
Arthur now debated his options. Go back in and spend the rest of the night dodging Sophia and perhaps run into Merlin long enough to get more than one word out of him, go home and leave Morgana completely or risk going back in to tell her he was leaving and perhaps say goodbye to Gwen.
As that went through his mind Arthur looked up sharply as he heard sounds from outside on the street. The first one was clear enough, it was definitely the sound of a fist connecting. That was something he knew well enough, the scuffle that followed was whoever received the punch staggering or falling. With a frown Arthur wandered out to see what was going on in time to see Merlin take a second punch, a hard blow that caught his cheekbone and put him down on the floor.
"Cain, don't," Merlin said, bringing up his arms to protect his head. Cain stood over him, with his back to Arthur, fists clenched, planning to use them again Arthur assumed. He waited a moment.
"I saw you, flirting with that spoilt brat Arthur Pendragon!"
"I wasn't, I didn't even speak to him," Merlin said, staying very still. Arthur guessed it was probably his best defence most of the time. This time however was different.
"I do have to say, I get called a lot of things, but I haven't heard 'brat' in a long while, and certainly not from someone who is, I think, younger than me."
Cain spun round and Arthur flicked the cigarette at him, regretting it, since Cain didn't seem to notice, and Merlin, who had lifted his head, flinched a little.
"And I don't really think saying one word to me counts as flirting, and I think in all technicality, it was me attempting to flirt with him."
"Are you trying to be funny?" Cain snarled. Arthur raised his eyebrows.
"A lot of people will probably point out that comedy is not my best point, and those with a brain would have already been running by now."
Cain didn't reply, the front door to the flats burst open and Gwen, Morgana and Will, the owner of the bookstore where Arthur now knew Merlin worked, burst out. They looked at the scene including Merlin on the floor, and then Morgana yelped.
Cain's punch was swift, and he hadn't been paying attention, half thinking that they might accuse him of attacking Merlin and Cain just defending him. The punch however changed everything. Arthur felt the power of it, and Cain's fist was meaty enough but it would take more than that to get him down. The cold rush of anger swirled in his mind and as Cain's second punch was thrown Arthur deflected it and slammed one of his own into Cain's gut, doubling the man over. Arthur then stepped back and waited, eyes drifting to Gwen and Will who were picking Merlin up off the floor. Merlin was watching the scene with wide eyes, like a rabbit caught in headlights. Gwen's eyes flickered with contempt as she looked at Cain.
A second later the man recovered and went at Arthur again. Arthur almost looked bored as he sidestepped, smashed one fist into Cain's ribs and then shifted and punched him hard on his face, sending him reeling over. It also meant he was between Merlin and Cain as the second man stood up. He looked at Arthur and then glared past him to Merlin. Arthur side-stepped again so he had Cain's attention.
"I suggest you go away before I really lose my temper," Arthur announced. He heard the door shut behind him and guessed that everyone had disappeared inside, leaving them alone in the street. Cain's eyes flickered from Arthur to the door and eventually settled on Arthur.
"I won't forget this."
"Oh, am I terrified," Arthur said. Cain smirked.
"Not you I'm thinking of." His eyes flickered to the door once again, the hint obvious before he turned and started to walk away. Unless Arthur decided to pummel him senseless he didn't think there was much he could do, and as tempting as that was Arthur felt more inclined to go to Merlin. So he went back in.
The party had subdued completely and as Arthur pushed his way through the crowd in the living room, picking up a nearby ice bucket and a scarf he knew to be Morgana's as he went, he heard Gwen say.
"You shouldn't put up with it, Merlin."
At least no one was going to accuse him of anything, Arthur thought. He got his way to the sofa where Merlin was wedged between Gwen and Will. Will was trying to look at Merlin's face. People cleared the way as Arthur moved through, all except one and he got round Morgana by elbowing her firmly out of the way. Merlin looked up startled by Arthur's sudden appearance. He put the ice down and reached to take Merlin's chin so he could get a look at the damage.
"It's fine," Merlin said.
"I'll be the judge of that," Arthur told him, probing the area around Merlin's cheekbone.
"Well, you're an expert in fight injuries aren't you?" Morgana snapped at him. Arthur didn't reply, instead he concentrated on probing Merlin's cheekbone. He winced now and again, but didn't complain about the pain. Getting no response, Morgana carried on.
"I mean that brawl with Leon that time said it all."
"Shut up, Morgana," Arthur said, his voice ice cold. He didn't look away from Merlin, so he saw him tense at the tone of voice, even if it wasn't meant for him. Arthur let him go and straightened up.
"It's not broken."
Merlin looked up at him steadily. "I know." In a voice that said he really did know.
"Is there anything else?" Gwen asked. Merlin shook his head.
"No," Arthur said backing him up as he reached for some ice and got his own back on Morgana by wrapping her scarf around it.
"Hey, that's mine!" she snapped.
"And it's going to a good cause," Arthur said, and turned to address Gwen. "He only punched him twice, one I heard, and the second I saw. At least my anti-social habit is good for something. Keep that on there," he ordered Merlin, pressing the ice pack to his face. Merlin winced and did as he was told. Arthur picked up a few more ice cubes and rubbed them against the knuckles of his right hand.
"Are you all right?" Merlin suddenly asked him.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," Arthur said absently. As long as, of course, his father didn't spot the damage. Morgana raised her eyebrows, suddenly content to put aside the ongoing war she had with Arthur.
"I'll say you were drunk and crashed your hand into a wall while falling over, if daddy asks."
Arthur looked up and raised his eyebrows. They glared at each other for a moment before Merlin interrupted them in a gentle tone.
"Um, Arthur?"
He turned to look, staring at Merlin's still wide eyes, one starting to swell slightly despite the ice-pack.
"Well, I honestly don't know what you thought you were doing, Arthur," Morgana snapped rudely. Arthur turned to glare at her. Most of the room stared at her in shock, anger or disbelief. Morgana, however, just had eyes for Arthur.
"I saw it. Why on earth did you pull that last punch?"

Tour operators have stopped selling city breaks to Istanbul following Thursday's terrorist attacks which killed at least 25 people and left more than 400 injured.
At the time of going to press, The Foreign Office was advising against all but essential travel to Istanbul and warning of a 'high threat' of terrorism else where in Turkey. Tourists were warned to be vigilant.
The Association of British Travel Agents estimated there were around 100 UK package holidaymakers in the city at the time of the attacks. Two bombs exploded at the British Consulate-General and the HSBC bank's headquarters causing multiple casualties. The attacks followed the bombing of two synagogues on 15 November which killed 23 people and wounded more than 300.
Cresta Holidays has contacted 10 passengers due to fly to Istanbul in the next seven days and offered them the opportunity to postpone their holidays or choose alternative destinations. One passenger currently in the city has decided to continue his holiday and returns to the UK tomorrow.
Senior product manager Ian Ackland said it was too early to tell how much impact the bombings would have on tourism to Istanbul. 'It depends how long it's off sale for. If it's a long time it will have a huge impact, if it's just for a few weeks then I think travellers will return quite quickly,' he said.
A Thomson spokeswoman said that those due to go are being offered refunds or alternative destinations. 'We've cancelled all trips until December,' she added.
A Travelscene spokeswoman said: 'Two people arrived after the bombs had gone off, but they only booked accommodation with us so we are not responsible for flying them home.' The company is offering refunds or alternative destinations to 10 customers due to travel before December.
Until further notice, the British Consul in Turkey will not be able to provide the full range of services. The FO advises people planning to travel to Turkey to go to www.fco.gov.uk or call 0870 606 0290 for advice.

Welcome to the premiere episode of Beltway Buzz with Robert Costa and Andrew Stiles. Robert and Andrew cover Capitol Hill for National Review, so this podcast will be an insider's look at how the wheels of government actually turn. Here's how they describe it:
Every day, we cover the the conservative movement and the Republican Party from the inside. Wehuddle with aides near the House chamber, and we interview senators near the strange, underground trains that connect their offices with the Capitol. We hear a lot, and those conversations fuel our reporting for National Review. But there's always more, and that's what we love to talk about–after our stories are filed.
This week, a look back at the State of The Union speech, the rise of Ted Cruz, the Hagel nomination, Boehner's calculation, and some (unsolicited) advice for how the Republicans in the Senate ought to proceed in this session.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has tapped local State Senator Mark Maynard and former state Republican Party Chairman Mike Stuart as co-chairs for his West Virginia presidential campaign team.
Trump's campaign made the announcement Monday after being the first presidential hopeful to file candidacy papers in West Virginia.
"I support Donald Trump because he is a business leader that has been very successful, understands and wins in his negotiations, understands that immigration and the war against terror are issues that must be solved, and he understands how to get American families working again," said Maynard.
