Film Only Review.
I always remember hearing Dr. Seuss stories when I was younger and their subsequent embodiments over the years, the Cat in a Hat movie wasnt a favourite but I did always quite like the live action Grinch movie starring Jim Carrey, I had noticed the animated movie in the background of a different film home alone and had always wanted to watch it but had found it difficult to track down. I was pleasantly surprised recently to not only find the DVD in Wilkinsons but also for a bargain price of £2.99, I couldnt resist and the DVD has made its way into my ever growing Christmas movie collection.
The Grinch-
The Grinch made his first appearance in the writings of Dr Seuss in 1957, he was a hugely popular character and was soon honoured with a feature length television special in 1966, created by MGM studios.
Generally described as an unpleasant character the Grinch is mean spirited and hates Christmas, unlike the people of the town of Who-ville, he not only hates Christmas but he also hates the Whos. Noticeably different in appearance to the Whos the Grinch is covered from head to toe in green fur, his red and yellow eyes are framed by expressive and sinister black eyebrows and his expression is usually frowning or mean.
All the Whos down in Whoville liked
Christmas a lot,
but the Grinch, who lived just north of
Whoville, did not.
The Grinch hated Christmas - the whole
Christmas season.
Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite
knows the reason.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas-
The animated movie follows the original story by Dr Seuss with none of the additions and extra plot lines of the 2000 live action movie.
The Grinch hates Christmas and all that comes with it, the songs, the gifts, the lights, the celebrations. Unable to cope with the thought of Christmas imminent arrival one year he decides to put a stop to it and hatches a plan. Creating himself a Santa Claus outfit and dressing up his dog Max as a reindeer, the Grinch sets out to steal Christmas, he takes every last item from the Whos homes, the gifts, their trees, the decorations every last crumb
On their walls he left nothing but hooks,
and some wire.
And the one speck of food
That he left in the house
Was a crumb that was even too small for a
He has a brief encounter with a young and curious Who called Cindy who is unable to sleep but he succeeds in his plan and makes his escape.
Despite the Grinchs plans Christmas still arrives and the Whos do not react how he expects changing the Grinchs opinion of the whole Christmas season.
Then the Grinch thought of something
he hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas," he thought,
"doesn't come from a store.
"Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little
bit more!"
Price & availability-
I mentioned earlier that I got my DVD from Wilkinsons for £2.99, while it is not widely available throughout the year it does crop up a lot more during the winter months. It is also available on Amazon but for £13.99 so youre definitely better off visiting a Wilkinsons or maybe a supermarket to see if they have it in their seasonal selection.
My Opinion-
While I do enjoy the live action movie and the extra depth the story gains from it, I think its great to see the tale its original form, Dr Seuss stories are wonderful for all children to experience and this DVD is a great way to introduce it to children who perhaps arent so keen on reading, its the perfect introduction and may even give them a keen enough interest to seek out some of the other stories written by Seuss.
The movie is narrated by Boris Karloff who also provides the Grinchs grumpy, grouchy voice. He gives a more sinister edge to the character compared to the more comic voice provided by Jim Carrey in the 2000 movie, which I think is what Seuss intended for the character. The cast of voice actors is limited to just 2, that of Karloff and also June Foray who provides the voice of young Cindy, such a small cast means there is no battle to outdo each other, rather the story flows simply with the voice of Karloff leading us through the twisting rhymes.
Thurl Ravenscroft provides his voice for the song in the movie, again re-used in the 2000 movie, which describes all the horrible characteristics of the Grinch. He has a very classic MGM musical voice and I did think at one point it may have been the voice of Howard Keel who was a big musical star at the time the movie was produced. The lyrics of the song are quite amusing as he lists hoe horrible the Grinch is
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty, wasty skunk
Your mind is filled with unwashed socks,
your soul is full of gunk
Mr. Grinch
The words that best describe you are as
and I quote: Stink, stank, stunk!
While the song is additional to the original story it is not out of place within the original writing and creates a fun interlude which allows the Grinch to create his outfit and go about stealing Christmas in a fun filled and interesting way.
The animation in the movie follows the very same style that was used to illustrate Seusss stories, with unusual elongated features and limbs on the characters, giving the impression that they are indeed a different race of people rather than simply making them appear human, the Grinch naturally appears different to the Whos with his green fur and sinister expression symbolising his mean nature compared to the Whos good natures. You cannot help but feel sorry for the Grinchs poor pet dog Max who always gets the brunt of his bad mood.
What I like about this movie and its story, other than the fact that it is a simple and amusing cartoon, is the message that it delivers. There is so much concern that Christmas has become commercialised, and is more about what you spend and have spent on you nowadays and the original messages celebrating not only the religious aspect of the holiday but also those related to family, have been lost. While I may not a religious person I do hold family with high importance and Christmas for me is a time to be with my family and spend time with them that may not be possible throughout the rest of the year, this movie shows that there is indeed more behind the holiday than just presents and decorations, as the Whos gather and celebrate despite the Grinch having stolen all the gifts, decorations and food, they show what they truly count as important- their family and friends. Its a message thats appropriate now as much as ever and one I think is good to teach all todays children, it doesnt matter if you dont get the latest I-pod or games console, what counts is being with the people who care about you and who you care about in return.
Overall it is a good fun cartoon to watch, its not so sinister that young children would not be able to watch it and it is also quite short at approximately 26 minutes, while I wouldnt necessarily recommend it as Christmas Eve viewing (just in case your little one worries the Grinch might decide to pop round your place) it is certainly a film that the whole family can watch. Its a welcome addition to my DVD collection and I would definitely recommend keeping an eye out for the movie if you havent seen it already.

Bitter and hateful, the Grinch is irritated at the thought of the nearby village having a happy time celebrating Christmas. So disguised as Santa Claus, with his dog made to look like a reindeer, he raids the village to steal all the Christmas things. The village is sure to have a sad Christmas this year.

New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle was the team's lone Pro Bowl representative a season ago, and rightfully so. The defensive captain has continued to make strides each and every year since joining Big Blue, and despite entering his 10th season in the league, Rolle is really just scratching the surface of his talent ceiling. That has finally been recognized by a league expert, as Rolle was recently ranked the No. 3 overall safety in the league by NFL Network's Bucky Brooks.
3) Antrel Rolle, New York Giants: The cagey veteran remains one of the top playmakers in the game despite entering his 10th season in the league. In fact, Rolle is fresh off his best professional campaign. As a former cornerback, he's comfortable manning up against tight ends and receivers in the slot, but he's also adept at patrolling the deep middle. His versatility allows defensive coordinator Perry Fewell to use him in a variety of roles in the Giants' sub-packages to keep quarterbacks guessing in the pocket. Rolle is a proven playmaker with a knack for picking off passes (23 career interceptions, including six in 2013) and creating disruption on the second level. He's an ideal Swiss army knife to counter the versatile offenses setting the pace in today's NFL.
Giants secondary coach Dave Merritt recently shared similar sentiments, praising Rolle for continuing to work hard in effort to become not only a better player, but a better leader in Big Blue's locker-room.
"Antrel is now starting to understand, he's starting to develop as a safety. He was a corner, as we all know … now all of a sudden he's a safety and he's now starting to understand the position more so than ever," Merritt said. "The last two years it's all coming together for him and he's feeling more comfortable.
"With Antrel's ability to continue to learn and grow he hasn't, in my opinion, hasn't scratched [the surface of] his ability as a safety yet. Last year as a glimpse of what Antrel could actually become. Just imagine if he had started that maybe eight years before at the position," Merritt added. "Again, the first couple of years you all know we played him at nickel, we played him at bison, we played him at corner, we played him at safety and now he's able to just play strictly safety and it's coming together for him well."
The only two safeties ranked higher than Rolle on NFL Network's list were Eric Berry (Kansas City Chiefs) and Earl Thomas (Seattle Seahawks), who were ranked No. 2 and No. 1 respectively.
No other safeties from the NFC East cracked the Top 10.

Rachana is shocked after listening to this and then asks Gunjan what can be done. Gunjan tells her that she has a plan to trap the reality of Charu. She tells Rachana that she will have to bring Charus reality in her way which is they both will bring a fake Mithu just like the way Charu had got a fake Mithu when the family members wanted to see her face.

The whole Grag family goes to the temple to finalize the dates for the wedding of Vikram and Charu Aka Mithu. The priest finalizes the date and says that the marriage will be held in a few weeks. Charu is excited listening to this and she thinks that it would be her lucky day as she has the plan to replace Mayank instead of Vikram at the wedding which will make her plan successful.

Gunjan and Rachana make the fake Mithu dress up and tell her to go out and behave exactly like Mithu. Charu comes and gives tea to Buaji but Buaji says that she had asked for water and not tea. Mithu is confused with what is happening and goes back into the kitchen.

World War II-era documents released today bolster the long-held contention that the U.S. government covered up Soviet responsibility for the infamous 1940 massacre of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest, the Associated Press reports.
The execution of about 22,000 Polish soldiers and other prisoners in and around Katyn was kept quiet because President Franklin Roosevelt did not want to anger Josef Stalin, whose forces were essential to defeating Adolph Hitler.
The documents, about 1,000 pages of declassified files put online by the National Archives, included coded messages from American soldiers captured by the Germans. They reported in 1943 seeing rows of partially mummified corpses in Polish officer uniforms in Katyn, proving they couldn't have been killed by the Nazis, who seized the western Russian region in 1941.
AP writes:
The Soviet secret police killed the 22,000 Poles with shots to the back of the head. Their aim was to eliminate a military and intellectual elite that would have put up stiff resistance to Soviet control. The men were among Poland's most accomplished — officers and reserve officers who in their civilian lives worked as doctors, lawyers, teachers, or as other professionals. Their loss has proven an enduring wound to the Polish nation.
In the early years after the war, outrage by some American officials over the concealment inspired the creation of a special U.S. Congressional committee to investigate Katyn.
In a final report released in 1952, the committee declared there was no doubt of Soviet guilt, and called the massacre "one of the most barbarous international crimes in world history." It found that Roosevelt's administration suppressed public knowledge of the crime, but said it was out of military necessity. It also recommended the government bring charges against the Soviets at an international tribunal — something never acted upon.
Despite the committee's strong conclusions, the White House maintained its silence on Katyn for decades, showing an unwillingness to focus on an issue that would have added to political tensions with the Soviets during the Cold War.
AP writes that the declassified documents "also show the United States maintaining that it couldn't conclusively determine guilt until a Russian admission in 1990 — a statement that looks improbable given the huge body of evidence of Soviet guilt that had already emerged decades earlier."
AP says historians who saw the material ahead of its released shared some highlights. Be sure to read AP's complete story.

This report presents results that demonstrate the application of time domain Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm in flight control and testing. The RLS proposed here is based on the equation error principle and does not require any starting guess for its purpose. A post failure aircraft model estimation, for the purpose of reconfigurable/restructurable control, using RLS and recursive Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) technique has been carried out. The evaluation shows the superiority of RLS over DFT in terms of computational load and convergence characteristics. Further a stabilized RLS algorithm, which can yield a useful alternative to covariance resetting as a solution to covariance wind-up in RLS has been implemented for post failure aircraft model estimation. A novel technique using RLS has been implemented to perform real time parameter estimation in absence of calibrated angle of attack and sideslip. Finally, the suitability of RLS for real time estimation of stability margin has been demonstrated. Simulated data has been used to demonstrate all these concepts.

Bono upstages Lady Gaga at birthday concert for former US president Bill Clinton
U2 STOLE the show at an all-star concert for former US president Bill Clinton this weekend.
The concert on Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl was to jointly celebrate Clinton's 65th birthday and the 10th anniversary of his charitable foundation.
U2 closed the show and for many the highlight of the night came when Clinton joined the band on stage for a special acoustic-version of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' performed by Bono and The Edge, which moved the former president to tears.
Before performing the song, Bono paid tribute to Clinton's role in the Irish peace process.
"When Edge and I think of all the reasons we might want to be here in the Hollywood Bowl, the Clinton Foundation would be enough. But right on top of the list... is that we live in a country now that is largely and truly at peace -- north and south -- because of the intercession of the 43rd President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton. He is by far the most beloved American since JFK for all of us Irish."
The singer added: "I also want to salute the extraordinary brain he calls his missus... her patience and impatience in traumatized spots of the world is something we should all think of."
After the duo finished their set, the former president wrapped his arms around both men.
"We've been friends for a long time," Clinton told the audience. "And I want to say to Bono, thank you for the One Campaign. Thank you for campaigning against debt, thank you trying to save the foreign aid budget of the Secretary of State of the United States, thank you for campaigning against poverty."
He added: "I want to say to Edge thank you for doing something very close to my heart. When Katrina almost destroyed the most unique, cultural and musical resource in America in New Orleans, this man led an effort to raise money for the all those musicians in New Orleans area who had no money but who are part of America's history and I will never forget it."
Earlier in the night Lady Gaga had emerged from an all-white treehouse sporting a wavy blond hairdo and red lips like Marilyn Monroe, who famously crooned "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Lady Gaga similarly serenaded Clinton and changed several of her lyrics to reference him, including swapping the title of "Bad Romance" for "Bill Romance."
"I thought, 'My God. I get Lady Gaga, and I will have a heart attack celebrating my 65th birthday," Clinton later said.
Clinton, who turned 65 on Aug 19 but celebrated his birthday at a posh Hollywood party on Friday night, sat between wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea in the front row throughout Saturday's event at the outdoor venue set against the Hollywood Hills. Other famous attendees included Maria Bello, Ashton Kutcher, Jason Segel, Ellen DeGeneres, Colin Farrell and Chevy Chase.
"I am the only person in history who got to be President and then had a post-presidential birthday party attended by both Lady Gaga and the Secretary of State," Clinton joked on stage. "I want to thank Hillary because we met 40 years ago this year. When I met her, she was already doing the kind of work you see here long before it was cool."
Ticket prices for "A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation," which was streamed live on Yahoo.com, ranged from $50 to $550. Other performers included Motown legend Stevie Wonder, country star Kenny Chesney, Somali rapper K'Naan, Colombian crooner Juanes and R&B singer Usher.
Usher kicked off his performance with a take on Joe Cocker's rendition of the Beatles classic "With a Little Help From My Friends" before launching into his hits "Yeah" and "OMG." The R&B singer accidentally split his pant legs while dancing to reveal his bare left leg. The wardrobe malfunction didn't stop Usher, who continued with his routine, telling the crowd: "I work hard."
Clinton himself is no stranger to performing. The saxophone-playing politician memorably belted out "Heartbreak Hotel" when he visited Arsenio Hall's show during his 1992 presidential campaign. Clinton didn't pick up the instrument on Saturday night, despite a plea from Lady Gaga, who informed him: "I wish you were playing sax with me tonight, baby."

"A Tribute to Jack and Rochelle: Creating a Record of Holocaust
Survival" will be presented by Lawrence Sutton at 3:30 pm on Thursday, December 1 in Montague 80 at UMD.
A reception and book-signing follows the presentation in the lobby of the Marshall Performing Arts Center.
Lawrence Sutin and his parents, Jack and Rochelle Sutin, wrote Jack and Rochelle: A Holocaust Story of Love and Resistance, published in 1995 by Greywolf Press. Sutin, a Minnesota author and faculty member at Hamline University, will present his parents' stories as resistance fighters as well sharing insights on the collaborative undertaking. "As a writer, I want to be able to focus not only on their story, but on the process by which that story came to be written," Sutin said.
Jack and Rochelle Sutin, as Polish Jews, fled separately in 1942 from their respective ghettos, where they had been relocated by theGermans. Each hid in the woods; and, after harrowing encounters with anti-Semitic escaping Russian soldiers, Rochelle joined Jack's group of Jewish partisans (resistance fighters). Although mere acquaintances before the outbreak of war, Jack and Rochelle fell in love and together fought in the resistance movement, enduring near-starvation, disease and the constant threat of capture by Germans and Poles. They hid in dank underground bunkers or camps, often unaware of the outside world. After the war, the Sutins married and emigrated to the U.S.
The event is co-sponsored by the Royal D. Alworth, Jr. Institute for International Studies (Alworth Institute).
For more information contact Dr. Alexis Pogorelskin from the UMD History department at 726-7548 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Torture and the U.S.: Why Accountability Matters" will be presented by Allen Keller, at 3 pm on Oct 12, in Montague 80. The event is part of the lecture series presented by the Center for Genocide, Holocaust and Human Rights Studies.
Allen Keller is associate professor of medicine at New York University School of Medicine, founder of the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture, and director of the NYU School of Medicine Center for Health and Human Rights.
In the early 1990s, Keller conducted research on landmines in Cambodia. "I was going to a bunch of provincial hospitals, reviewing hospital records, documenting civilian casualties," he says. "That work has so much shaped who I am as a physician, as a human rights advocate, as well as a person."
Keller is recognized internationally as an expert in the documentation, evaluation and treatment of victims of torture and other human rights abuses. He has also conducted ground-breaking research on a variety of health and human rights concerns including the medical and social consequences of landmines, access to healthcare for prisoners and other questions of medical ethics. He is on the Advisory Board of Physicians for Human Rights.
Keller has received numerous awards for his work, including the Barbara Chester Award from the Hopi Foundation, the Eclipse Award from the Center for Victims of Torture, and in 2007, Keller was the recipient of New York University's distinguished alumnus award.

That was so sweet! It seemed real too, I love that kind of story.
I want to know Ron's story! Then again, maybe I don't...
10.) I lost track of the very ugly, suspicious looking bug --- I really don't like bugs and if I find one, someone has to get it or it will be trapped under something clear to where I can see if it has escaped or not until someone does get it. I had a roach in my bedroom for almost 10 hours yesterday because I was home alone. It was under a plastic container with all of my Harry Potter books on it (save Deathly Hallows because I would never put it anywhere close to a bug) so it couldn't escape. I am happy to say it is gone.
So, now I'm confused. Did her really kiss her and this is not the end or did he not really kiss her and this is the end?
Michael Jackson and Snape giggling was too much! That was really good, you should write more.
To make things even more hilarious, when he hit the table he sent a plate of cookies flying, one of which hit Harry in the head. I went into a laughing fit. --- You should write a story and title it "Cookies thrown at Harry". I don't know what it would be about but it would definatley get people's attention!
3.) Bewitch a herd of llamas to follow her around all day (wow, that was random
4.) Hex her quill so that it sings show tunes whenever she writes
5.) Haha ..llamas .. --- Llamas are pretty cool! There is a song about llamas, you know. It's called the llama song. There is a duck in it too!
3.) Ron has, once again, done something to disfigure Mrs. Norris. Its not that I like Mrs. Norris, its just that this is becoming somewhat of a nasty habit --- Mrs. Norris is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least this time we know how she was transfigured...
10.) There is a suspicious cluster of chickens wandering around the hall, and though no one has been able to provide a reason for their existence, I BLAME PARVATI! --- That is pretty cool. Once we found a chicken a our football field at school. I don't know it got there but it was over by the equipment shed pecking at the ground. The janitor caught it and brought it to the petting zoo down the road. Anyway, cool story.
At one point, he randomly jumped up onto a table and started to sing this odd little song:
**Here's a llama! There's a llama! And another little llama! Fuzzy llama! Funny llama! Llama llama DUCK!** (thank you krazycase!) --- This is the same llama song I refered to in the last review! (Or at least I remember putting it in a review, I don't remember if it was actually the last review or not...)
13.) Wed settle things with a DANCE OFF --- I've always wondered what a story titled "The Gryffindor Girls Dance Off"...
The minute I caught sight of Ron I laughed. And then I helped him out. (He wasnt too thrilled by the laughing.) --- I would have laughed too. That is the bad part of me. My friend accidently stated that she liked this guy too loudly, someone heard her, made up a stupid rumour, it got around, came back to us and I laughed out loud when I heard it. She wasn't too happy with me...
I can't remember what I copied here because the page refreshed when the power surged and when I pressed control+v, it didn't do anything and I don't particularly want to go back and read it again, but I know I thought something was funny I just don't remember what, maybe I should go to bed, it is 1:21 in the moring... I'll finish reading later. But I know that this is getting really amusing. OH! Now I remember! It was when Harry asked Ron & Hermione to leave when it was their booth to begin with! Haha! ok, I should go sleep now...
I can already tell that all the brothers are going to guess that it is Hermione and tell him the same things! I love how Ron is so predictable!
There are a lot of extra exclaimation points. A few are nice but they are being used in almost an overly sort of way. Great story though!
Yes! So far my first prediction is coming true. All of Ron's brothers have guessed it was Hermione and are giving him advice that he thinks will never work. Ron has to find out what to do on his own.
So far, Ron is not having any luck with his brothers but he forgot that one of his siblings was in fact, a girl. Let us see what Ginny has to say.
Aww, I love the whole close friendship between Ginny, Hermione, Ron and Harry. Finally, Ron got some good advice!
The line that separates the dream world and reality disappears, leaving them lost in their reflections, unaware they have been selected as the lucky chosen few in the realm of love
Part 1 of MY GUARDIAN ANGEL series:
1.My Guardian Angel 2.When I See Only You 3.The Boy Next Door
Aww, that wasn't the right spot! :(
Over 10,000 reads so far! Thank you everyone!
***CHAPTER 10 is up...last chapter!
So, in this story, Harry didn't smash the mirror, or did he repair it or something because in the book, he smashed it in the bottom of his trunk.


text: Today Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) released the primary efficacy analysis and safety data from its Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial, ADVANCE. Results support peginterferon beta-1a as a potential treatment dosed every two weeks or every four weeks for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Peginterferon beta-1a is a new molecular entity in which interferon beta-1a is pegylated to extend its half-life and prolong its exposure in the body, enabling study of a less frequent dosing schedule. The primary endpoint of ADVANCE, annualized relapse rate (ARR) at one year, was met for both the two-week and four-week dose regimens. Results showed that peginterferon beta-1a also met the secondary endpoints of risk of 12-week confirmed disability progression, proportion of patients who relapsed and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments for both dose regimens. Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and discontinuations due to AEs were similar across both dose groups. Overall with both dose regimens studied, the risk-benefit profile of peginterferon beta-1a appears to be favorable. "If approved, peginterferon beta-1a will represent an innovation that offers patients a less frequent dosing schedule of no more than 26 doses annually, as well as a significant reduction in relapses and disability progression," said Gilmore O'Neill, vice president, Global Neurology Late Stage Clinical Development at Biogen Idec. "Interferons are an important and widely used option for many patients. As a leader in MS, Biogen Idec has the deepest MS pipeline in the industry and we remain steadfast in our commitment to study compounds that target a broad range of patients' needs." The ADVANCE study included more than 1,500 patients with RRMS and was designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of peginterferon beta-1a compared to placebo at one year. Results showed that when administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection, peginterferon beta-1a 125 mcg demonstrated a significant reduction in ARR at one year. Compared to placebo, ARR reduction with two-week dosing was 35.6 percent (p<0.001) and with four-week dosing was 27.5 percent (p<0.02).

Analysis of SLAM Family Receptors in SLE
Kim1, Jong R., Patel1, Rahul K., Mathew1, Stephen O., Pertusi2, Raymond M., Mathew1, Porunelloor
University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, TX
Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, Boston, MA
The SLAM family receptors play a critical role in activation and regulation of immune function.SLAM family receptor genes are also located on chromosome region 1q23, a region linked in genetic studies of systemic lupus erythematosus. Here, we investigated the expression and alternative splicing of 2 SLAM family receptors, 2B4 and CS1, in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
45 patients with SLE and 30 healthy controls were studied. SLEDAI scores of SLE patients were calculated at the time of enrollment. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated and studied for 2B4 and CS1 expression on T, B, NK, and monocytes by flow cytometry. Total RNA was isolated from PBMC and reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) was performed for 2B4, CS1. Single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP)-heteroduplex mobility shift assay (HMA) was conducted for analysis of 2B4 and CS1 polymorphisms.
Overall proportions of 2B4+ and CS1+ PBMCs were comparable in SLE and control subjects. However, frequency of 2B4+ cells was significantly decreased in CD56+ NK cells and CD14+ monocytes from patients with SLE compared to healthy controls (p<0.05). Also, increased CS1+ expression was noted in B cells of SLE patients vs. healthy controls. This increased CS1+ expression was associated with increased percentage of CD19 low B cells. The proportion of CS1 expressing cells in T cells, NK cells and monocytes was not significantly different between healthy controls and SLE patients. Two patients with SLE showed increased expression of h2B4-B splice variant over h2B4-A isoform, while 2 other SLE patients showed more predominance of h2B4-A over 2B4-B than healthy controls. However, there was no direct correlation between differential expression ratio of h2B4-A over h2B4-B and SLEDAI. Healthy individuals as well as most of SLE patients expressed similar or higher level of CS1-L isoform over CS1-S. However, the CS1-S isoform was overexpressed in 2 SLE patients.
These findings suggest a role for the differential expression of SLAM family receptors 2B4 and CS1 in systemic lupus erythematosus. In particular, we found decreased 2B4+ expression in NK cells and monocytes and increased CS1+ expression in B cells of SLE patients versus controls, as well as differential isoform expression in some SLE patients. Further functional studies and downstream signaling studies may be warranted to help confirm these findings and characterize their contribution to immune dysregulation in SLE.

Silicone Dioxide SiO2
|Fire agate
Agates are formed primarily in cavities of volcanic rock. Over time silica rich water seeping through the rock deposits minerals on the inside of these cavities. Gradually layers of silicate material build up eventually filling the cavity completely. The layers often have subtle differences in mineral content giving the agate a banded appearance.
When the cavity is only partially filled the inner layer usually shows a crystalline structure. This is often quartz, amethyst, or related mineral. This hollow rock is called a geode. While most often small geodes can be huge occasionally big enough to walk around in!
|agate, Utah
There are many kinds of agate owing to slight changes in mineral content. These slight changes affect the color and the patterns within the rock. Descriptive and colorful names have been given to these unique varieties. Moss agate, carnelian agate, Botswana agate, blue lace agate, and Mexican crazy-lace agate are just a few of these individual types.
Because of their natural beauty agates are used to make jewelry, bookends, wind chimes, and a host of other decorative items.

TORONTO - Nazem Kadri won't start the season in the American Hockey League after all.
The Toronto Maple Leafs recalled the 21-year-old forward Thursday following an injury to Colby Armstrong.
Armstrong is out indefinitely after suffering a left ankle sprain during his first shift in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Winnipeg.
Kadri was expected to start his year with the AHL Marlies following a knee injury in training camp. He had been assigned to the farm team on Wednesday.
In 29 NHL games last season, Kadri had three goals and 12 points.

Tom LaBonge News Councilmember and City Officials Celebrate Green Fire Station
Councilmember LaBonge and LAFD Chief Peaks joined other city officials, firefighters and community members for the "Topping Off Ceremony for Fire Station 82," the City's first green fire station. The long-anticipated event was held at the building site on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue on Thursday, August 19th. Commissioner Steven Nutter from the Department of Public Works and Chief Deputy City Engineer Deborah Weintraub were also in attendance.
"This station will meet the needs of the firefighters of Battalion 5, making it easier for them to answer the calls of residents," Councilmember Tom LaBonge said. "Not only will the fire station promote public safety, but it will be environmentally friendly. The residents in this area will think green whenever they hear those sirens."
The original fire station on Bronson Avenue was over-crowded with outdated equipment and will now be transformed to include a community room, classroom space and equipment storage. The new building is nearly three-times the size of the old structure at 18,900-square-feet and can house 16 firefighters per shift, far exceeding the six-per-shift maximum of the old station. The building will also boast underground parking and a variegated roof with a garden. The roof garden, which will keep the station cool, is part of a rainwater treatment system.
City officials and community members signed the final beam, symbolizing the nearly 10 years of community collaboration and the interdepartmental negotiation involved in the project. The crowd looked on as a crane lifted the final beam to the top of the third story.
"This is a very exciting occasion for both our City family and the community. This project is symbolic of the vision Los Angeles voters had back in 2000 to construct and renovate fire stations and animal shelters across the city," said Board of Public Works Commissioner, Steven Nutter. "The Department of Public Works is very proud to be part of this rewarding partnership."
The $30 million building is being funded through the Prop F General Obligation bond, approved by voters in November, 2000. The new fire station, designed by RRM Design Group, will qualify for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED certification through the U.S. Green Building Council. Since 2003, all Department of Public Works' newly designed and constructed projects of 7,500 square feet or more must be LEED-certified.
Fire Station 82 serves areas of Councilmembers LaBonge and Garcetti's districts, including the eastern part of Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills.
Highland Medians a Priority
The landmark medians of Highland Avenue between Wilshire Boulevard and Melrose Avenue will have new caretakers, thanks to a motion entered by Councilmember LaBonge.
9/11 First Responders Need Aid
The Councilmember presented a resolution to support the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act in order to provide health services and compensation to Ground Zero emergency workers.

Nicholas Royce
Nicholas Royce, entertainer, Greek Orthodox activist and long-time member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, was recently approached by Turkish Muslim friend, Farouk Ubasyi, to endorse him to become a member of the TV Academy. In the true spirit of inter-religious recognition, Royce was more than happy to comply.
As legendary journalist Harry Golden, once said, "This could only happen in America," when a Greek Orthodox, Royce extended a helping hand to a Turkish Muslim, Ubasyi. It also reflects the diversity found in the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Legislation relevant to fraud and identity theft can take three forms.
Firstly, it prohibits particular activities, for example forgery of a signature on a bank cheque, manufacturing documents for the purposes of identity fraud or impersonating an official. Some Australian and overseas enactments are highlighted below.
Secondly, it encompasses legislation that assists victims to deal with identity theft in a timely manner, for example, it encourages financial reference services to provide victims with information.
Thirdly - and perhaps just as importantly - legislation encompasses obligations for organisations to protect information collected by or entrusted to them.
There are laws at state level, which deal with fraud, forgery, deception, theft and conspiracy to commit these crimes. At Commonwealth level, the Crimes Act deals with identity offences around dishonestly obtaining information (except DNA or biometric), including financial, without consent.
Federal legislation reflects the national government's constitutional, with fraud/theft provisions relating to interstate commerce and communications (eg the Cybercrime Act 2001) and offences against the Commonwealth under the Crimes Act.
Recent legislation of interest includes - Criminal Code Amendment (Theft, Fraud, Bribery & Related Offences) Act 2000 and the Financial Transaction Reports Act 1998.
Salient provisions under the Criminal Code are obtaining property by deception, obtaining a financial advantage by deception, general dishonesty, obtaining financial advantage, conspiracy to defraud, forgery, using forged document and falsification of documents - s. 145.4
High tech crimes include computer intrusions (e.g. malicious hacking); unauthorised modification of data, including destruction of data; denial of service attacks; and the creation and distribution of malicious software (e.g. viruses, worms, Trojans). These crimes are defined in the Criminal Code Act 1995, Part 10.7 Computer Offences. It should be noted that a crime is not necessarily considered 'high tech' because technology has been used, for example frauds that are conducted online are not always regarded as 'high tech'.
Australian states and territories address fraud and ID theft through common and statute law.
The Federal Privacy Act 1988 protects your personal information. Generally the Privacy Act covers the collection, use and disclosure, quality and security of personal information. The Act also gives you rights to access and correct personal information about you. You also have the right to make a complaint if you think your personal information has been mishandled.
The eleven Information Privacy Principles in the Federal Privacy Act protect your personal information and give you rights in the way Commonwealth and ACT government agencies handle your information.
The ten National Privacy Principles in the Act protect your personal information and give you rights in the way private sector organisations, including some small businesses and all private health providers handle the information.
The Federal Privacy Act also protects information in other ways, for example, Tax File Numbers and your credit information. The Privacy Commissioner also has special responsibilities in regard to national health, spent convictions, data-matching and telecommunications.
For more information visit The Office of the Privacy Commissioner
The Federal Privacy Act does not regulate state or territory agencies, except for the Australian Capital Territory. For information on privacy regulations in the states and territories please refer to the appropriate state or territory section below.
Australia's anti-money laundering laws place obligations on financial institutions and other financial intermediaries. Those obligations are contained in the Financial Transaction Reports Act 1988 (the FTR Act). The FTR Act 'cash dealers', as defined, to report to the Director of The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC):
The FTR Act also requires cash dealers to verify the identity of persons who are signatories to accounts, and also prohibits accounts being opened or operated in a false name.Cash dealers as defined in the FTR Act include:
The legislation provides penalties for avoiding the reporting requirements and in respect of false or incomplete information. It also has penalties for persons who facilitate or assist in these activities.
The reporting and identification requirements, backed by penalties for offences, provide a strong deterrent to money launderers and facilitators of money laundering. These provisions increase the level of risk associated with abuse of the Australian financial system by tax evaders and organised crime groups. It also adds to their costs of doing business and in particular in laundering their illicit profits.
The legislation also sets a standard, which must be met by the cash dealers. Failure to meet the standard places the cash dealer at risk of being used in the process of money laundering and thus subject to consequential penalties when detected. Penalties include pecuniary penalties and imprisonment.
The Government is currently in the process of amending its anti-money laundering laws. Once the new laws are in place, new requirements will apply to the identification of customers and the reporting of suspicious transactions. It is expected that the new laws will come into operation in 2007.

Spam is the common term for electronic 'junk mail' - unwanted commercial electronic messages. Australia's anti-spam legislation was introduced in 2003 in response to concerns about the impact of spam on the effectiveness of electronic communication and the costs imposed on end-users.
The Spam Act 2003 prohibits the sending of spam, which is identified as a commercial electronic message sent without the consent of the addressee via e-mail, short message service (SMS), multimedia message service (MMS) or instant messaging. The requirements under the Spam Act apply to all commercial electronic messages, including both bulk and individual messages.

Local Retail Sales Surging
The metro area's retail economy is nothing short of unstoppable.
Figures released today by the State Comptroller's office shows sales tax receipts, which is the best measure of sales of taxable items, up an amazing 11.24% in September when compared to September of 2012.
If the rest of Bexar County is excluded, the City of San Antonio's tax receipts are even stronger, up more than 13% from the previous year.
By comparison, statewide sales tax receipts for September were up about 5.2% over September of last year.
Just up the road in Travis County, which includes Austin, sales tax receipts increased 4.49%, less than half of the Bexar County increase.
Admittedly, some of the increased sales tax collections comes from the fact that the tax itself went up by one eighth cent in April due to last fall's approval of the Pre-K for SA program. But that small increase is not nearly enough to account for the huge jump in sales tax receipts.
This continues a string of strong months for local retailers, and indicates a solid Christmas season ahead for the region.
It will be interesting to see what kinds of sales tax numbers are put up for October, to see whether the furloughs of government employees due to the shutdown will show up in lower sales tax receipts.
Strong sales tax collections are good news for local governments, especially the county and city governments.
