NOTHING will replace the loss of Trevor and Terrie Delroy's homebred Cedarberg, but breeding and owning yesterday's Australian Derby winner Ethiopia is some consolation.
Especially when the Pat Carey-trained Ethiopia, which went into the classic a maiden, carried the racing silks used by Trevor Delroy's grandfather Dan Young.
''The colours were carried to victory in the 1960 WA Derby by a horse called Chestillion,'' Delroy said yesterday. ''It was tragic, gut-wrenching to lose Cedarberg last August but this is a great thrill.''
Carey prepared Cedarberg to win The BMW at Rosehill in April last year and the horseman loves nothing better than giving horses time.
''I love training these stayers and this [the Derby] is one of the races you want to win,'' Carey said.
Ethiopia was ridden patiently by Victorian jockey Rhys McLeod, who was indentured to the Mornington-based Carey.
''He came to me as a kid with no experience,'' Carey said. ''He weighed about 28 kilograms.''
McLeod thanked the Delroys and Carey for ''having the faith to put me on - I knew I could do the job''.
''It was a good win,'' he said. ''I don't reckon they went overly hard so we had to really mow them down.''
Ethiopia is a credit to the training talents of Carey. The son of the Victoria Derby winner Helenus, also the sire of Cedarberg, was having start No.4 and the first for a month.
The three-year-old was an emergency for the Rosehill Guineas won by Laser Hawk, which was sent out favourite in yesterday's Derby.
Laser Hawk was out to provide Gai Waterhouse a first classic on her home track at Randwick but under jockey Nash Rawiller could finish only third. ''I was rapt in my bloke, he ran a tremendous race,'' Rawiller said. ''You pull up a little disappointed by the result but going forward he'll have a break now and come back a stronger horse in the spring.''
Splitting Laser Hawk and Ethiopia was the Team Hawkes last-start Tulloch Stakes winner Polish Knight, which charged up along the fence under Dwayne Dunn while the winner steamed down the outside. ''The slow start didn't help but we had a good run in transit, the winner was back last and went around them,'' Dunn said. ''My bloke's climbed a pretty big mountain this preparation.''
Trainer John Hawkes believes Polish Knight will be better again next preparation while delighted for Carey's maiden Derby win. ''Ours won a maiden not long ago,'' said Hawkes who has won the Australian Derby three times. ''He is still a big dumb kid and it was fantastic to see Pat Carey win. A real genuine guy, a real good trainer, done it hard for a few years, a super bloke.''
Carey paid tribute to the Delroys for ''their strategy is to hold back'' when developing and educating racehorses ''which suits me''.
''He could be a special horse,'' said Carey, who wasn't getting carried away by races in the spring such as the Caulfield and Melbourne cups. ''A classic stayer in the making. Hopefully his career goes beyond the spring. The spring is tough on three-year-olds - you see the attrition rates every year.''

I started fasting when I was 13 years old. My first Ramadan I was so excited and so proud of myself for being able to do so. I would go to school (where I may have been the only Muslim), even go to gym class, all while fasting. Year after year, I fasted religiously (pun intended), making sure never to miss any days (except those from which I was exempt). Growing up Ramadan was always an important part of life for me and my family. Getting up in the morning for seheri (suhoor) with everyone, my … [Read more...]

Ufone Commercials: the Positives and Negatives
While wasting time on YouTube, I recently came across a series of Pakistani commercials for the phone service Ufone.

Watching Pakistani commercials remind me of the winter evenings I've spent in Pakistan, cuddled under the warm comforter with my aunts and cousins watching Pakistani or Indian dramas interspersed with wholesome, lively Pakistani commercials.As I watched one c … [Read more...]

From Bikinis to Hijabs: Using Psychology to Your Advantage

Steve Edwards, Matt Parker and Mark Smith toss 700s
Larry Mason
April 1, 2008 - Steve Edwards finished the week with the center's highest 700 series over the past seven days, a 757, while Classic Lanes' relative newcomer, Matt Parker, came through with a 734, and Mark Smith closed with a 705. Roy Schutz came with five pins of giving the center its fourth 700 of the week, settling for a 695. Debbie Carter and Tina Phillips collected 600 series this week, Debbie rolling a 606 and Tina hitting for a 602. Our youngest bowling phenom, Colby Pullen, tossed two 600s this round, compiling a 613 on Tuesday and a 602 on Thursday.
Steve Edwards shot his second 700 series of the season Tuesday night, shooting games of 246, 265 and 246, to complete the evening's play with a whopping 757, and ran away with the week's best bowler honors. He finished the night 158 pins over his series average. Steve moved up on the high series chart to 10th place, jumping nine slots from one week ago. His average on Tuesday increased to a 198, an increase of two pins, and now ranks 20th on the high average chart.
Now, Steve did use a new bowling ball Tuesday night, and based on his success Tuesday, one would be inclined to believe Steve found the perfect ball for Classic Lanes' conditions, you know, oil pattern, temperature, humidity, lane pair and such. In fact, Steve bowled his set on lanes 7 and 8, two of the less forgiving of the lanes at Classic Lanes. I suspect a great many of Steve's fellow bowlers, thinking Steve had found a sure winner, immediately went home, got on line, and started looking for "the ball," with the intent of purchasing one of their own. I just hope those orders can be canceled.
Bowling is a fickle sport, you know, you're up one night, and down the next, and Steve can certainly testify to this fact. You see, Steve also bowled on Thursday night. He bowled on lanes 11 and 12, two of our more considerate lanes, and rolled games of 194, 133 and 148, finishing with a 475 series, 122 pins below his series average. You see - up on Tuesday, down on Thursday. Now, what I don't know for certain, is whether Steve used his new ball on Thursday night, so don't cancel your new ball orders, just yet.What I do know is this, Steve probably won't see another 400 series in his lifetime. He's just too good a bowler for that. Thursday's series was just a fluke, nothing more.
Matt Parker arrived on the scene at Classic Lanes just a short time ago. He has bowled on only three occasions. In that short span of time, Parker has rolled one 700 series,this week's 734, has a high game of 269, and is averaging 219 on Thursday. He ranks 20th on the high series chart, where he is tied with Bruce Michaelson, is in a seven way tie for 16th place on the center's high game list, and holds fifth place on the high average board. His two earlier series were a 588 and a 652.We don't know where Big Joe Bell found Matt, but we're glad he did.
Mark Smith is certainly no newcomer to Classic Lanes. He's been bowling with us for as long as I can remember, and I've been associated with the center for almost 20 years now. Mark is a very good, consistent bowler. On Thursday night, Mark was very good, tossing his third 700 series of this season, a 705, rolling games of 203, 256 and 246. Mr. Smith is now averaging 208, tied for 11th place on the high average board with Darrell Green and Classic Lanes' maintenance guru, Wes Campbell, has a high series of 744, 17th best on the high series chart, and holds 15th place on the high game list with a 270, an honor he shares with teammate, Keith Ethridge.
Roy Schutz was within five pins of recording his fourth 700 series of the season last Tuesday night, but had to settle for a 695 set. Roy tossed games of 236, 247 and 212. He currently holds a 209 average, which ties him with seven others for 10th place on the center's high average board, and his best series, a 739, ties him with David Vansickle for 19th place on the high series chart. Roy's highest game is a 269, which ties him with Matt Parker and five others for 16th place on the high game list.
Debbie Carter led the ladies this week, shooting a 606 series on Tuesday. Debbie rolled games of 165, 219 and 222 and finished 66 pins over her series average. Ms. Carter averages 180 on Tuesday and 177 on Monday.She is tied with Kathy Vansickle for third place on the ladies' high average board. She ranks sixth on the ladies high series chart with a 617, and has a high game of 245, sixth on the ladies' high game list, where she joins Jacque Wilson and Rhonda Wilcox. � � � � � � � � � �
Tina Phillips bowls in the ladies' league on Monday nights. Tina normally shoots around the 500 series mark and averages 168. Monday evening, Tina averaged 200.6, shooting a 602 series with games of 187, 201 and 214.She finished the evening 98 pins over her series norm. This week's 602 is her best showing of the season., raising her average to a 169. Tina's best game is a 236.
Chuck Russell is Steve Edwards' father-in-law. They bowl together on Tuesday night. Chuck is an accountant. In reviewing Tuesday's score sheets, it strikes me that perhaps Chuck's performance may have been the motivation that pushed Steve to bowl so well. You see, Chuck averages around 175, and can be counted on to provide his team with 525 pins, his series norm.
But Tuesday night, Mr. Russell shot a 641 series, 116 pins over his average, posting games of 213, 227 and 201. This week's series is Chuck's highest of the season. It ranks 63rd on the center's high series chart. His best game is a 244, which holds 32nd place on the center's high game list.His average now sits at a 177. I don't believe he used a new bowling ball.
Last, but not least, we have to notice our youngest active league bowler, Colby Pullen. Colby is our SSMS student who has been bowling since he was in the fourth grade. That makes for about four years of experience.This week, Colby didn't shootjust one 600 series, he shot two. Tuesday night, Colby tossed games of 182, 208 and 223 to end the evening with a 613 series. He followed Tuesday's performance with a 602 effort on Thursday, shooting games of 210, 186 and 206. He averaged 202 for the week. The center's high average board shows Colby averaging 182 on Tuesday and 180 on Thursdays. His highest series is a very impressive 658, and his highest game is 269.
If you didn't notice by now, let me point out that our Sunday contingent of bowlers took the Easter evening off, so we have nothing to report as regards Sunday's league. They will return next week.
As of this week, our bowlers have accumulated 59 averages of 200 or more, from 39 different bowlers. There has been one 800 honor series, 133 700 series, 1,233 600 series, and 16 honor games - 10 perfect games, four 299s and two 290s. It's not the best season the center has ever recorded, but it's not over yet. Summer leagues are forming now, and will begin play in late May.
Larry Mason writes a weekly column on the bowling leagues at Classic Lanes. His column appears on Tuesday.

"This was a group known as the Shabiha. This is a government militia. These are people who are loyal to President Bashar Assad," Engel said on air Tuesday morning.
An NBC news team, including chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel, was freed in Syria Monday after an Islamist rebel group killed two of their kidnappers at a checkpoint, the network reported on its website Tuesday.
The team, which later spoke live on the network, were held captive by an unidentified group for five days.
VIDEO: NBC News crew freed after Syria captivity
Engel, 39, and two other members of the news team, disappeared shortly after crossing into northwestern Syria from Turkey on Thursday. The network had not been able to contact them until they were freed.
"It was a very traumatic experience," Engel said on NBC's "Today" program.
Engel, speaking from Antakya, Turkey, said they were not physically beaten but there was psychological torture, including threats of being killed and mock shootings.
The network said the team was bound and blindfolded but not harmed. There was no claim of responsibility and no request for ransom, NBC said.

This past Wednesday, "Animal Practice" drew 3.8 million viewers, finishing fourth in its time slot. "Arrow" drew 3.5 million viewers, finishing fifth.
NBC has already canceled "Animal Practice"; "Arrow" is a hit and a bright spot on The CW's schedule.
Clearly, expectations are different at the two networks.
Both shows are drawing far fewer viewers than "Made in Jersey," which CBS axed after just two episodes when viewership fell from a relatively weak 7.7 million in Week 1 to 5.8 million in Week 2 far fewer than either the show that preceded it or the show that followed it.
That's the way TV goes.
Here's a quick look at where the new network series stand:
ABC • The only show the Alphabet Network has canceled to date is "Private Practice," and the handwriting was on the wall for that when ABC ordered only 13 episodes for this, its sixth season. (All 13 episodes will air before the show leaves the schedule.)
But things are not looking good for the new shows ABC added this fall. Ratings for "666 Park Avenue" and "The Last Resort" have been frighteningly bad. The network has ordered two additional scripts for each show, but that's not the same as ordering more episodes. It's sort of a holding move and the weakest vote of confidence possible.
"Neighbors" (which got an order for three more scripts) and "Nashville" (the best-reviewed show this fall) are struggling mightily to attract viewers.
CBS • The network added only four new shows this fall. It has already canceled "Made In Jersey"; the numbers are not good for "Partners"; it has already issued full-season orders for "Elementary" and "Vegas."
NBC • "Guys With Kids" looks as if it may soon follow "Animal Practice" into cancellation, and things are pretty iffy for "Chicago Fire" as well.
Among returning shows, "Up All Night" is on life support at this point.
On the other hand, "Revolution" is the big surprise of the fall. It looks like a genuine hit and has already been picked up for a full season, along with comedies "Go On" and "The New Normal."
Fox • The big surprise here is that Fox hasn't canceled the laughably bad, abysmally rated "The Mob Doctor." It could happen at any minute.
It's also sort of weird that the network picked up "The Mindy Project" and "Ben and Kate" for full seasons, because the ratings haven't been good.
The CW • "Arrow" is what passes as a hit on this ratings-challenged network wannabe. It's totally safe.
Ratings are weak for "Emily Owens, M.D." and "Beauty and the Beast," but The CW has a history of hanging on to shows because it doesn't have anything better to put on. And it has ordered three additional scripts for each series.

If your data is important, it should be handled by a contract rather than an "agreement" and they should not reserve the right to unilaterally change the terms.
The second issue is actually how the user managers their own data. If your data is on your computer and it's important, you need to back it up. If your data is "in the cloud" and it's important, you still need to back it up. Keeping a copy on the provider's servers and on your hard drive is usually sufficient, though you have to be aware of the limitations (especially if it is a synchronization service rather than a backup service).

Washington, DC—Senator Barbara Boxer of California delivers this week's Democratic Radio Address. As the Senate prepares to debate a bipartisan bill that addresses global warming, Boxer, the Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, highlights the overwhelming majority of scientists, health advocates, military experts and religious leaders who recognize the urgency of tackling one of the most important crises of our time.
The text of the radio address, as delivered, is below:
"Good morning. I'm Senator Barbara Boxer from California and Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Next week, the Senate will begin debate on one of the most important issues of our time – global warming.
"Senators have come together across party lines to write a law that will not only enable us to avoid the ravages of unchecked global warming, but will create millions of new jobs and put us on the path to energy independence. Other benefits of our legislation will be cleaner air, energy efficiency, relief for consumers and the alternative energy choices that American families deserve. And, by acting wisely, America will regain the leadership we have lost these past seven years.
"There are some in the Senate who insist that global warming is nothing more than science fiction. These are the same kind of voices who said that the world was flat, cigarettes were safe and cars didn't need airbags – long after the rest of us knew the truth.
"The fact is that the overwhelming majority of scientists say that the earth is in peril if we don't act now. They've told us clearly that more than 40 percent of God's creatures could face extinction if we don't act now. They've told us of more intense weather events if we don't act now. Health experts have told us that infectious diseases will increase due to warmer waters. And military leaders have told us that unchecked global warming will lead to severe conflict and war as droughts, floods and rising sea levels create huge numbers of desperate refugees.
"I hope you will help us convince the negative voices that we must act now to avert these dangers. Tell the Bush administration to help us, not fight us. Tell your Senators that action now will have positive results for our families and our nation. Tell those skeptics who say 'wait for China and India to act' that the America we know and love doesn't hide from a challenge and wait for others to lead.
"Right now, many of our states, including my home state, are leading. They have the will. Our mayors are leading. They have the will. Religious leaders have urged us to act now as well. They reminded me of a wonderful quote that motivates me to work as hard as I can for as long as it takes to responsibly address global warming. These words stay with me: 'When God created the first man, he took him around to all the trees in the Garden of Eden and said to him "see my handiwork, how beautiful and choice they are. Be careful not to ruin and destroy my world, for if you do ruin it, there is no one to repair it after you."'
"I truly hope that you will support our efforts on the Senate floor. Please join our fight, and thanks for listening."

A raft of economic data suggests a strong bounce back from the recession is still some way off.
Economists say recent consumer spending and unemployment figures have been more disappointing than predicted.
A UMR Consumer Confidence Index survey of 1000 people has found nearly two-thirds remain wary about buying new goods.
Official figures on electronic card transactions show core retail spending, which excludes fuel and car-related purchases, fell a seasonally adjusted 0.2% to $3.2 billion in February.
It is the second consecutive monthly drop.
ANZ National Bank has ditched its assessment that the first half of the year will record solid growth and now says it will be early 2011 before the economy fires up.
Chief economist, Cameron Bagrie, says with the unemployment rate still rising and consumers not spending, the economy is clearly still stagnant.
Figures released by the Government on Tuesday showed the number of people receiving the unemployment benefit fell in February by 4000, or about 6%. About 64,000 people are collecting the benefit.
In addition to the Reserve Bank's monetary policy statement on Thursday, housing market figures are due to be released along with the monthly food price index. Retail trade data is due out on Friday.

Book review: At Night We Walk in Circles by Daniel Alarcón
This tale of art, love and family in South America becomes a driving and analytical mystery that urges the reader through to its finish.
By Daniel Alarcon. Riverhead Books, $28.
Although the idealistic young protagonist of Daniel Alarcón's new novel, Nelson, cannot emigrate from his nameless South American country to the United States, he lands a dream job at home, as an actor: The aging members of a formerly rabble-rousing theater troupe called Diciembre cast him in a touring revival of their allegorical play The Idiot President. To commit himself to "the play's constructed universe"—as prescribed by Henry Nuñez, legendary political prisoner and the play's solipsistic author—Nelson cuts ties with his mother, his lover and the desires of his past. When a new destination appears on the company's itinerary, however, the trip becomes longer and stranger than anyone could have imagined.
The story begins simply enough, but eventually weaves in more and more elements of life in an unstable region. Subjects such as love, friendship, provincial politics, the drug trade, idealism in art and the penal system slip into the tale almost imperceptibly. Step by curious step, Circles reveals itself as a detective story, complete with unreliable narrator and a harrowing, unpredictable finish. While there are certainly awkward aspects to Nelson's fall, the book's rhythm and pacing smooth over any bumps. He's drawn to his fate—as is the reader.

I actually agree.
Most of this stuff makes so much sense, i have no clue why people are hating so much nowadays, like really...
But no, the DLC's are overpriced for much less, the game itself has nothing on it, as most of the memory is held up by Campaign. So if it was on another disc...then they have no excuse to make the game have more.
And you forgot to ask to bring back decoy grenades and underbarrel flamethrowers. XD.

Is he serious? You sound like you have no idea what your talking about...
Did i actually say, word to word, RAM and DS's was on the disk?
Your POV is that of someone who doesn't really know what they are talking about.
It needs to be on 2-discs.
One disc is for Multiplayer, and the other is Campaign and ETC.
So more people can work with more for on Multiplayer, as a whole disk dedicated for online, like a dedicated server, and also would give more RAM, so x2 maps, guns, challenges, more ways to play, more game modes, more room for DLC maps and weapons.
I don't see how being on 2 different discs would allow for more RAM use even if you were talking about actual console RAM. 2 discs would allow for more content of course, but it would have nothing to do with allowing dedicated servers and more RAM use. A game could be on a mini DVD and still have dedicated servers and use just as much RAM as that of a game on multiple discs.
Oh, and it's not "word to word" it's WORD FOR WORD. I think you not only don't have a very good grasp on game lingo and tech, you also have trouble with the English language.

TC stands for Topic Creator. The more you know. But all of the stuff you bring up is valid. I enjoyed reading these suggestions. It'd just be nice if Treyarch cared about their demographic.
HydraRaptor 4 years ago#20
I agree with a good bit of what you have to say, and I do like all these things in BF3, but here are some minor problems that arise when certain items were to be done for Call of Duty:
- Dedicated servers are expensive to maintain and patch, which is why PC games, and BF3 on consoles, allow users to rent servers. Activision is too cheap to for the servers out of pocket, and were they rented to users, all we would ever find is 10,000 point Domination on the smallest maps in the game and GameBattles rules servers where you get kicked for not being a tryhard. A better way for Call of Duty to work, in its primetime, at least, would to have peer to peer servers that are specifally set for certain regions, such as East, Central, and West US being seperated from each other, resulting in a better connection for everyone in the game.
- Adding weapons in a DLC pack is tricky business, especially when you do it consistently. Look at BF3's Back to Karkand expansion's FAMAS when it was first released. Generally, it was considered to be the most overpowered weapon in the game due to its high rate of fire at 1000 RPM and its very low recoil when paired with the foregrip and suppressor. The community will immediately backlash if the weapon is too good or too bad, so Treyarch/Infinity Ward would have to attempt to balance the weapon into a perfect middle ground, and that just wouldn't happen.
- Adding special killstreaks in a DLC is like asking for the game to be called "Pay to Win". Even if it were a 60 second UAV that you had to get 12 kills for, the community would cry foul.
- Bringing back the MOAB or Nuke, especially if it were in a Treyarch title, would result in a huge outcry of rage from the community, both if it were left alone or changed. If they were to add in the MOAB as a 25 gunstreak killstreak, as it was before, people would complain that it's nothing new, whereas if it were changed, people would complain because "they changed it, now it sucks".

|This photograph is a good example of phenotypic plasticity, or the ability for the same alleles to lead to varying physical traits, depending on the environment that individuals develop in. In this example, butterflies that mature during different times of year can have different wing patterns (many eyespots or few). Each pattern helps butterflies remain undetected by bird predators, but which pattern is better depends on the time of year. The temperature range which the butterfly experiences while it is pupating affects how many eyespots it will have as an adult.

Certain strains of
At the end of the nineteenth century, with the discovery that bacteria can cause some of the major diseases, the idea that bacterial infections might lead to cancer was born even if this assumption is definitively accepted only in a few cases. The most known example is
It is now well established that a huge number of bacteria colonizes our body and, in the last years, human beings have been reconsidered as "superorganisms" in co-evolution with their own indigenous microbial community [
Pathogenic bacteria express a broad range of proteins that interact with host cells and that can directly manipulate the inflammatory reaction, contributing to specific stages in cancer development. These proteins, which include the exotoxins and the effectors that are delivered by bacteria directly into the cytoplasm, perturb cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation, all of which are intimately associated with carcinogenesis. Similarly, their ability to promote anchorage-independent growth could facilitate metastatic potential and lead to cancer progression.
One of the major inhabitants of the intestine is represented by
CNF1 binds with high affinity the surface of epithelial cells via the laminin receptor [
Mechanism of action of CNF1. CNF1 is a single chain multidomain protein toxin that contains a binding domain at the
The cytoplasmatic target of CNF1 is represented by the small G proteins belonging to the Rho family, important molecular switches that cycle between a GTP-bound active state and a GDP-bound inactive state, under the strict control of activators (guanine nucleotide exchange factors, GEFs) and inactivators (GTPase-activating proteins, GAPs) [
A schematic representation of the mechanism of action of CNF1 is shown in
The best characterized function of the Rho GTPases is the control of actin cytoskeleton dynamics and organization, which in turn governs a broad range of cellular aspects, including shape, adhesion, motility, cellular junctions remodelling and phagocytosis. CNF1 is widely recognized as an actin polymerization inducer [
The modulation of the actin cytoskeleton via the CNF1-activated Rho GTPases may play a crucial role in certain aspects of the malignant phenotype. In particular, CNF1 induces (i) tumour cell motility caused by cell junctions disruption in uroepithelial 804G cells [
It is worth noting that CNF1 also blocks the G2/M transition in epithelial cells [
Signalling pathways favouring cell survival can also be considered as pro-transforming factors. We have reported that CNF1 can protect transformed epithelial cells from apoptotic stimuli by (i) overexpressing anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family [
Finally, we have demonstrated that CNF1, by activating the Rac1/Akt/NF-kB pathway, can induce, in epithelial cells, the formation of a complex network of elongated and interconnected mitochondria with an increased average length [
Furthermore, it is well known that the Rho GTPases can stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [
Signalling pathways triggered by CNF1-promoted Rho activation differ depending on the cell type. (
In fact, CNF1 causes in transformed cells a Rac-dependent super oxide anion release [
On the whole, it appears that CNF1 touches some of the signalling pathways that are engaged by carcinogens and tumor promoters, as schematized in
Therefore, considering the so far described activity of CNF1 on cells, the crucial question is if CNF1 can be linked to the onset or development of cancer in humans. Humans are colonized by residential microbes that do not passively inhabit the host. In fact, there is increasing evidence for a rich, complex, dynamic, and individual-specific microbial interaction with the host and human cancers that should now be considered against the background of host-microbiome interactions [
In the case of
On the assumption that bacteria are associated with CRC, bacterial strains present at the origin of cancer may disappear and be replaced by other bacteria better adapted to the cancer environment. Consequently, it remains difficult to determine whether the increase in specific bacteria is the consequence of the presence of malignant tissues or the cause of the cancer. However, these toxin-producing bacteria, which colonize the malignant tumours, probably have an impact on the evolution of CRC.
Recent next-generation sequencing studies of the intestinal microbiota now offer an unprecedented view of the aetiology of sporadic CRC and have revealed that the microbiota associated with CRC contains bacterial species that differ in their temporal associations with developing tumours. According to the bacterial driver-passenger model [
Taking into account the mechanism of action of CNF1 and what is above reported on this toxin, our hypothesis is that CNF1-producing
As stated above, the colonic mucosa of patients at risk for CRC is intrinsically colonized by pathogenic bacteria that can function as "drivers". These bacteria can cause inflammation, increased cell proliferation and/or the production of genotoxic substances that contribute to the accumulation of mutations during the cellular transformation. This oncogenic process is accompanied by alteration of the microenvironment with a selective pressure on the local microbiota and with the gradual replacement of "driver" bacteria by "passenger" bacteria, this one consisting of tumour-foraging opportunistic pathogens, commensal or probiotic bacteria with a competitive advantage in the tumour niche [
In fact, the hypothesis of CNF1-producing
These are the reasons why we have called CNF1 a "janus toxin". Janus is the two-faced god of beginnings and transitions, and looks to the future and the past. Janus is also the god of doors: one face for doors open one for doors closed. In fact, CNF1 has two faces, one that activates the GTPases and the other one that destroys them. Also, CNF1 apparently behaves as a friend with its powerful therapeutic potential and as a foe for the carcinogenic signatures in its activity. Further

Father Urban's Lesson
Thomas W. Jodziewicz on Real Christianity for Losers
A broad-brush approach to American history would surely accentuate the forefinger: Americans like to win; they like, even celebrate and envy, apparent winners. The traditional story of the past two American centuries usually emphasizes America's winning ways, including the enactment of necessary reforms and the achievement of victory in war, while the culture itself is adorned with such adages as "Winning is the only thing," "Show me a loser and I'll show you a loser," and "We're (or I'm) Number One!"
For many, self-autonomy, personal gratification, and various examples of personal prosperity—despite periodic and even heart-felt calls for a retrieval of community and common values—constitute the avowed lodestone of the Americ
an enterprise in self-fulfillment, and it is not a completely misplaced or miscalculated narrative accent. We do have personal responsibility for ourselves, and any progress toward that is in some way surely a victory.
But what about a responsibility to and for others? In the tension in American history between the one and the many, the I and the We, lies a more complicated social storyline regarding being a winner. Christ's apostles, all chastened and seasoned by grace, would surely contest this particular, mostly individualistic, American description of winning, as well as its relevance for the good life, and substitute another frame of reference: the seemingly un-American reality of losing. So, eventually, would Father Urban Roche.
The Ambitious Father Roche
Father Urban Roche is the creation of the novelist J. F. Powers (1917–1999) in his 1963 National Book Award-winning Morte D'Urban. A member of the apparently mediocre Order of St. Clement, Fr. Urban sees himself as engaged in a one-man effort to bring the Clementines up to date. Operating out of Chicago, and enjoying many of the finer things of life, he lectures and preaches widely in what he sees as a heroic quest to vivify a religious order that, in his eyes, was "unique in that they were noted for nothing at all."
Fr. Urban himself had joined the order while under the exhilarating influence of a well-accomplished visitor, Fr. Placidus, who had carried all before him by the force of his personality and vitality. In short, Fr. Placidus was a winner in Roche's eyes and a wonderful mentor, who had counseled his charges: "Be a winner! Never say die!" Indeed, on his own otherwise rather busy escutcheon, Fr. Urban had included only three words: "Be a winner." It turns out, however, that at least in Fr. Urban's view of things, Fr. Placidus had been unique among the Clementines.
Perhaps because Fr. Urban's more worldly tendencies and pride were noticed by the provincial (the local head of the order), he gets assigned to a fairly dismal retreat house in rural Minnesota. But even here, the Clementines' self-appointed promoter enjoys apparent successes, whether as a visiting pastor who shakes up and indeed vivifies a slumbering parish, or as a Catholic priest whose apparent non-judgmentalism and urbanity are attractive even to non-Catholics. He gets the idea of opening a golf course adjacent to the retreat house, so as to attract wealthy and influential people, the movers and shakers of society, with whom he liked to be found on his travels and who were potential donors to his cause—even if these acknowledged winners are fairly materialistic and morally tone deaf.
Fr. Urban is not a "bad" priest, and much of his activity does appear to have a good effect, but his moral imagination has been tainted by his operating definition of what it is to be a winner. In his own estimation, the increasing successes of several of his fellow Clementines in outback Minnesota come about because of his own entry into their world and his necessary courting of what at first glance does appear to be mammon:
Without noticing it, Fr. Urban starts to give in more and more readily and eagerly to the selfish temptations of worldly accomplishments and standards, though he does all these things in the name of furthering the corporate interests of the Clementines. By certain worldly standards, he is indeed a winner; but by following a map marked out by and for himself, he is, in ways of which he is not yet conscious, near to becoming a fatal loser.
Headaches & Cleared Vision
His Damascus moment comes when an errant golf shot by the local bishop—who is engaged in a determined quest of his own to turn the retreat house into a diocesan seminary and to put this proud and popular priest in his place by seeing him lose the match—hits Fr. Urban in the head. The priest is so badly injured that, from then on, he finds himself troubled by persistent headaches—and also by a clearer appreciation of what is happening around him and to him.
At the end of the novel, Fr. Urban is elected the new provincial of the Order of St. Clement, but he is a different man, a more securely pious and even wise man, whose spiritual journey toward salvation has been resumed along a far more selfless and authentic path. During his installation, he participates in a ritual written by St. Bernard of Clairvaux, in which the new provincial responds to several questions. When asked just how it is that the pure of heart shall see God, Fr. Urban answers:
By denying himself, by confronting the world's understanding of a winner from a more critical, Christian perspective, and by acquainting his new self more readily and charitably with the crosses carried by his confreres and others, Fr. Urban has come out of a comfortable self-centeredness and has embraced a far different and counter-cultural understanding of what it is to be a winner.
Winning by Losing
To deal with this counter-cultural understanding is, for believers, to be on mostly familiar terrain. Christ, present now in his Church, counsels self-denial, and the need for a sturdy shoulder, that will paradoxically result in the opposite of apparent self-abnegation or even self-annihilation. But as Fr. Urban's story shows, this paradox of finding oneself by losing oneself, while an easily phrased staple of the Christian faith, is not so easily lived.
The opportunities for self-distraction by surrounding oneself with the latest noise and gadgets, and intimations of power and control, are perhaps more numerous today than even in Fr. Urban's 1950s, and certainly more so than in the days of Christ and his apostles. But the temptation to secure oneself in one's own carefully constructed moral universe and imagination, to determine the right and the wrong for oneself, is always a strong temptation. The world's estimation of what it is to be a winner seems always present, even as the historical details may be different.
Many good things have been accomplished by America and by Americans, but the cult of self-determination and the celebration of self-reliance, visible already in the Garden of Eden, is a lingering and ultimately damaging, perhaps even damning, temptation within any historical project. Perhaps it is even more so in a national narrative that too often defines winning as an expression of utter self-autonomy and self-direction that, in the Christian frame of reference, is rather the very definition of losing. Then again, it may be prudent, and pastoral, to refrain from directly instructing Christ's followers, in the new dispensation . . . to be losers!

'Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.' (Voltaire, letter to Count Schomberg, 31 August 1769). Nonhuman animals may not leave wills or have costly funerals but perhaps their deaths can be marked by ceremonies. Western scrub-jays react to a dead conspecific with a ruckus that attracts more jays.
The recognition that a conspecific is dead is restricted to very few species (some corvids, some apes and elephants). Individuals may gather around the corpse, handle it, remain for days and elephants are even reported to attempt to bury their dead. These behaviours are often viewed as evidence of animal emotion and even of empathy. However, the reaction to a dead conspecific could also serve a more immediate adaptive function: it has the potential to provide relevant ecological information and might be a cue for the risk of predation. Teresa Iglesias and colleagues McElreath and Patricelli of the University of California, Davis tested the hypothesis that western scrub-jays, Aphelocoma californica, do use dead conspecifics as cues of predation risk, perform aggregation alarm calls and decrease foraging in the immediate area.

We are located next door to the Edge Coffee House (excellent drinks and tasty treats) and a few doors north of Aurelio's Pizza (try the spinach and hot jardinaire pizza).
We accept most insurance plans!
There are over 1, 500 frames on display, and just recently we added Silhouette Eyewear and Vera Bradley to our collections, the Silhouette Titanium frames are hand-made in Austria, here's the link:

We are located in one of Crete's oldest commercial buildings (from the late 1800's), and invite you to stop in and take a look around. With 1, 500 frames on display (most of these styles are not available at the mall stores or the chains) you are sure to find something you'll like!

This feature-packed system sports Wi-Fi and DLNA streaming, but can it really offer true 7.1 sound using a 5.1 set-up?
Samsung HT-D6750W – 7.1 or 5.1?
Samsung has led the way in home cinema systems in recent times, combining desirability with quality in equal and formidable measure. Unlike most rivals, the Samsung's front and rear speakers are distinct, the fronts sporting more drivers than the rears. That's because the top section of each tower includes a unique swivelling driver, designed to bounce sound off adjacent surfaces as part of Samsung's '3D Sound Plus' system, which claims to deliver the sonic effect of a true 7.1 system using only a 5.1 set-up. The so-called super tweeters can be angled upwards to replicate height-channel sound effects, 7.1-style, but this is a trick that works better with real, physical speakers.
The rear speakers include a form of wireless support, connecting via cables to a smaller receiver/amp module at the back of the room. The supplied iPod dock is a good-old-fashioned cable-type design, but Samsung also offers you – at extra cost – a wireless cradle for fuss-free tune-flicking. With built-in Wi-Fi and DLNA, the HT-D6750W is well equipped to cope with your every streaming need. It also supports a range of media types, including MKV.
The pseudo-7.1 set-up is only partially successful – the soundfield certainly gets higher and wider, but at the expense of precision and realism. The bigger issue, though, is the Samsung's tonal balance, which gets harsh when you turn up the volume. The 'super tweeters' are designed to extend high-frequency performance, but on this evidence they're over-enthusiastic.
It's a shame, as there's plenty to admire here. Unlike many rivals, the HT-D6750W includes automatic speaker calibration. The system's 3D and 2D image quality is fine, Samsung's streaming services and network-sharing ability are among the best at this price level and in terms of flexibility, the HT-D6750W is at least as good as its rivals. It's just a shame it doesn't sound so appealing.

DAE Solver in Mathematica?
I am trying to solve a system of differential and algebraic equations
using Mathematica. NDSolve seems like the logical function, but it
doesn't seem to like algebraic equations. I post a trivial example
below to illustrate my problem. Converting the algebraic equation to a
differential equation is an alternative (but is difficult in my
particular case). Is there a package out there for solving DAE's?
Example calculation:
NDSolve[ { T'[t] == -c[t],
c[t] == 1,
c[0] == 1 },
{ T[t], c[t] }, { t, 0, 10 } ]
Obviously my case is more complicated and the algebraic equations
(c[t]) are time dependent, but the basic setup is the same. This
particular format gives and error message saying that c[t] isn't in the
form of an ODE - because it isn't an ODE. Any suggestions?

Face modeling careers can be one of the most lucrative forms of modeling. Face models don't need to meet a certain height requirement; they just have to have a beautiful or handsome face.
Proportion is synonymous with beauty and a model's face must be symmetrical.
It must look as pleasant from the profile view as it does straight on. Cheekbones should be high but this isn't necessarily a requirement.
There should be no scars or blemishes; the skin tone should be smooth, flawless, and even.
Since face models are prone to wear makeup for hours on end, and take photos under bright lights, it is best for face models to have normal skin.
Sensitive skin is prone to breaking out and can cause many hindrances to a face modeling careers.
Knowing proper skin care routines is vitally important for every face model and restoring the skin's ph balance will make sure that the model is ready for every modeling shoot.
A face model's life can be very glamorous; however, the career requires hard work and patience.
You might be required to remain in one position for an extended length of time without making any facial movements.
Make sure you are committed to being a face model before pursuing your career. Face models are required in all ethnic groups, races, and ages.
No matter how old the model, there is always a need for beautiful faces. Men are also frequently hired as face models, and children can also find work.

Hand Models
The first step in becoming a face model is to contact a parts modeling agency that specializes in this area.
When contacting a parts modeling agency, you'll need to determine whether or not they are seeking professional photographs or not.
This varies from agency to agency and is a determining factor in whether you are accepted or not. You run the risk of ruining your chances of being signed if you fail to send the correct photos, so always double check.
A simple phone call to the modeling agency is all that it takes to ensure you know what they require.
As with any other company, taking the time to verify the face modeling agency's standing with the Better Business Bureau will help eliminate the chance of falling victim to scams.
Most scams involving any type of modeling pertains to the need for professional photographs or building a portfolio.
By making sure that the agency is legitimate and only getting professional photographs when requested by the agency, you can prevent falling prey to scams.

When Eddie sent me the link to this retardo story I laughed.
I read The New York Times business most days and if this is Sunday Time's worthy, we are f@#ked. They are officially out of money or ideas. The article only proves one thing…that the New York Times has allowed itself to get caught up in the hype, not real journalism. There is no real link betweeen blogging and heart attacks. Maybe the Times just wants to get to the top of Techmeme .Interesting and sad times indeed for newspapers.
Now digging coal mines and working in asbestos environments, maybe.
You have to love Arrington's quote…'well I have put on 30 pounds and don't sleep well'.
Let me just explain something to THE NEW YORK TIMES and Mike Arrington…
Mike Arrington is fat and tired because he makes bad choices. Om Malik on the other hand has taken on the 'Serenity Now' lifestyle and I hope he keeps it up. I visited with him recently at his offices and he is making good lifestyle choices and still blogging up a storm. He should live :) .
Much like James Cramer, Arrington could post twice a day at this point and fire everyone else that writes for him and have MORE influence.
As for the New York Times, someone smarter than me beat me to the real punch lines of them actually choosing to write about this .
As for technology bloggers…they have it easy. When I was a kid…

why is ICD-10 better than 9?It is ridiculously expensive(many physicians in private practice cannot afford It);it is so complicated,that it will lead to many denials of payment;it does not improve patient care;AMA will like all the extra money it will generate for them..
ava george
ICD-10 forces physicians to tell the entire patient story so that patients can be treated appropriately each time they are seen by clinicians. So, it does improve patient care. This information is also very valuable for research on population health and is the precursor to new health discoveries. We literally have no idea how disease clusters in our country or how to best treat medical conditions because we cannot search through medical databases using a unified diagnostically coded structure. Hospitals have already spent 1,641,120,000 investing in IT infrastructure, ancillary programming, and education preparing for ICD-10 implementation. We have invested too much to stay locked in the stone age. And by the way, the AMA has noting to do with ICD-10. The AMA is invested in NOT allowing ICD-10 to happen, as they are invested in CPT coding. ICD-10 is owned by the World Health Organization, and is used to report world health morbidity and mortality statistics. America is not able to report or benefit from any world health information because we will be 25 years behind the rest of the industrialized world, which is an embarrassment..

Summer's officially a distant memory as pumpkins show up on doorsteps with no warning. At Summer Canteen, however, known for its delectable and tantalizing Asian Fusion Cuisine – blending Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, and Burmese food for a taste like no other – it's summer year round. And a new, exciting development recently happened right in time for Oktoberfest: Summer Canteen obtained its alcohol beverage license, and true to form, their beer selection is ace, just like everything else on the menu. Are you really that surprised?
A haven for NoHo creative types, I arrived at the attractive restaurant this past Saturday with a friend, Erin. Since she'd never been there, I was extra curious to see what her initial impressions would be.
She eyed the drink menu first off – I guess it'd been a long week – and marveled over the prices.
"Allagash White for $4!" she exclaimed. "Why have you been hiding this place?" I had no valid answer, but promised we would return.
We decided the night would be an appetizers and drinks excursion, a time to catch up on the week now behind us. From the looks of it, we weren't the only ones: Surrounding tables of people appeared to be completely at ease, chatting with the familiarity of old chums.
Our radiant server Amy got us started with a sampler of the Draft Beers. There was Erin's favorite, the Allagash White, a tasty Belgian beer from Portland, Maine. She said that other places charge at least double the price compared to Summer Canteen.
Out of the Draft Beers, the "most expensive" was Unibroue Blanche de Chambly from Quebec at $5 (so cheap), a sweeter alternative to the Allagash. The North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner from California, $4, had to be my favorite. Then there was the NAPA Smith IPA (Organic) from California, $4, a darker, stout blend.
After savoring the beer selection and weighing the night's possibilities, we moved on to the appetizers. You truly cannot go wrong when it comes to ordering here.
We decided up first was Crispy Crab & Shrimp on Soy Paper, because one thing I can't get enough of is seafood. The little patties had coriander root, water chestnut, and white wine in them as well. Dipped in sweet and/or sour sauce, what a unique pescetarian treat!
Next was the monthly special app, Thai Northeastern Sausage. Erin took one bite and said: "That's so good, I can't even handle it." Complimented with ginger and chilies, the spiciness was a superb taste — not for the faint of heart – best washed down with the IPA.
The Leaf-Wrapped Savory Nibbles administered a satisfying crunch: made up of shrimp wrapped in spinach leaves and topped with ginger, peanuts, lemon skin, chilies, grated coconuts and minced shallots with tamarind caramel.
We were content as could be, but not overly full. After all, everything we ate was healthy. In the end, I felt selfish for hiding such a gem. Erin had this to say:
"The beer selection felt fresh and the food was light and healthy. Such a relaxed environment. Can't wait to go back!"
I hope I'm invited. Summer Canteen is located at 4444 Lankershim Blvd. in North Hollywood. For more information, visit www.summercanteen.com or call (818) 985-6611. Cheers!

Meritage Oyster Bar
Opened in December 2010 - the Meritage Oyster Bar was an addition the Kleins planned for two years; traveling the East & West Coasts of the US, and touring through the classic Brasseries of Paris.
Always one of their favorite aspects of Brasserie culture, the shell fish program at Meritage explores everything from the merrior of oysters to the little neck clams of Chef Klein's childhood.
Adding 40 seats and a more casual element to Meritage, the oyster bar also jumps head-first into crafted cocktails and maintains a thoughtfully selected beer list, including a couple of taps. Crowned by a art nouveau Absinthe fountain, the space captures a bit of Paris in the 1930s, classic, beautiful - and with a highlight on two historical aphrodisiacs, oysters & absinthe - even a bit naughty.

With its stupendous position overlooking the Serpentine in London's most famous park, right next to the Lido and the Diana Memorial Fountain, this café could serve mud and leaves washed down with a cup of mildew, and still attract customers. It's a lovely spot for an early evening cocktail, but the interior can be loud and clattery, so head outside if you can – there's masses of outdoor seating.
The breakfasts, lunches and small plates (the food comes courtesy of Company of Cooks) sound enticing, but some of our dishes lacked attention to detail. Pizzettes were low on cheese and herbs, and tiny for £4.75. Grilled chicken was dry – a yoghurt and harissa dressing gave it some oomph, but while the accompanying couscous was studded with lots of interesting things, it tasted too much of spring onion. Best was a moist, flavourful, well-seasoned burger, served with fat chips and relish.
Coffee was good too, as was a zesty lemon drizzle cake. Staff were very helpful, taking the initiative to set up a table for us inside as rain drenched the terrace.

Also presenting plenty of action-packed scenes, the promo video centers on Witherspoon's Lauren who is pursued by two best friends, played by Hardy and Pine, who work as secret agents.
First trailer for "This Means War" has been made available for viewing pleasure via Apple. The action-packed promo video highlights the rivalry between Tom Hardy and Chris Pine's characters in winning the affection of Reese Witherspoon's Lauren. In several sexy scenes, Witherspoon is seen getting intimate with Hardy, while in some others, she is seen making out with Pine.
To open in U.S. theaters on February 17, 2012, this action comedy tells a story about two spies that fall in love with the same woman. As their best friends' bond disintegrates, their ensuing battle escalates. McG is tackling the helming duty, while Chelsea Handler and Til Schweiger are in supporting cast.
McG recently shared to USA Today about how he persuaded Witherspoon to star in the movie. "I told her, 'You're America's sweetheart. Women love you. Men... like you. I want men to covet you'," he remembered. "She took a deep breath and said, 'Go for it'."
As for Witherspoon's sexy scenes with both Hardy and Pine, the "Terminator Salvation" helmer explained that the blond beauty didn't use body double. He said, "Those are really her legs, those are really her abs. That's her making out with Chris Pine and Tom Hardy."
McG added that he and the "Walk the Line" actress had to "establish trust" before she agreed to do the steamy scenes. He explained, "I love strong female characters, and she had seen 'Charlie's Angels'. Between her physical readiness and the manner we photographed her, you get a sexy takeaway. The audience is the beneficiary."
