When 13-year-old Sophie Cuffe left home, all she took was her mobile phone. It was late evening, so when a friend of a friend said she could crash on his sofa, she didn't think twice about accepting. In the months that followed, Sophie slept on numerous friends' sofas. But many nights were spent on park benches, in alleyways or under a stairwell in the bus station. Eventually, a family friend stepped in to help and took her to the local council.
After a spell in a residential assessment centre for the homeless, she was moved to a hostel, then a bed and breakfast. Since she had been evicted from the hostel, the council deemed her "intentionally homeless" and withdrew their support. She is now 17 and has just reached the top of a list for council accommodation. For now, she will have to continue "sofa surfing".
Sophie is one of 15 volunteers recruited by the housing and homelessness charity Shelter to tell her story to students and young people. Over the past 18 months, she has visited schools, pupil referral units (PRUs), youth clubs and colleges around the county to deliver workshops about homelessness. Funded by the Big Lottery Fund, the Charles Dunstone Charitable Trust and the Rank Foundation, the project aims to reduce the number of young people who become homeless.
According to government statistics, around 25,000 16- to 24-year-olds in England were identified as homeless last year. This doesn't include the many "hidden homeless" staying with friends or on the streets. Common triggers for young people leaving home are family conflict, violence, sexual abuse, or simply poverty and the lack of space or privacy. Young people who leave home do so at an early age and often lack the skills and resources to set up a home.
The biggest challenge for Shelter peer educators is challenging misconceptions about homelessness. "Most teenagers don't understand that if they've had a row with their family and are staying with friends, they are actually homeless," says Hannah Bermingham, peer educator and support worker for Shelter Gloucestershire.
Sofa surfing is far from the trendy picture often painted in the media, of a way to save cash, meet new people or travel the world on a shoestring. The reality is a world in which people sleep on floors for months, or even years, as an alternative to sleeping rough. They are not accounted for in official homeless statistics.
"A lot of young people think they can just turn up at the local council, saying their parents have chucked them out and they'll get emergency accommodation, but it's not like that," says Bermingham. "Often the parents have to sign a form to say they've asked them to leave before they can be given accommodation. Even then, there may not be anything in the local area. It's not unheard of for homeless young people to be housed an hour and a half away from their home."
But the project is not simply about discouraging young people from leaving home."There are some circumstances where a young person needs to leave home, because they are not safe, perhaps because of domestic violence or abuse," says Bermingham. "The message we want to get across is that, if they do need to leave home, it should be a planned move. If young people are armed with the right information, they should not end up homeless."
Early intervention could have prevented Cat Dickson, who is now a Shelter peer educator, from becoming homeless. After constant rows at home, which sometimes became violent, she took refuge at a friend's house. She was 15.
When it became apparent that her friend's mother couldn't afford to keep her, she was asked to leave. With the help of a charity called Night Stop, which provides emergency accommodation for 16- to 25-year-olds, she stayed off the streets and was later placed in a hostel. Like Cuffe, she was later evicted. "Hostels have very strict rules," she explains. "You're supposed to spend four nights out of seven there, but I'd been staying with my boyfriend in Birmingham. I came back one night and my key didn't fit the lock on my door. They bagged up my belongings and I was asked to leave."
'Often harrowing'
When Cuffe talks of the long nights spent under the stairwell in the bus shelter with her friend, taking turns to sleep so they wouldn't be robbed, those attending the workshops are often visibly moved.
"The stories are often harrowing," says Fran Rodway, who teaches PSHE and citizenship at the school at Whitminster PRU in Stroud, which hosts visits from Shelter Gloucestershire every year. "The peer educators are often only a couple of years older than them. The close proximity in age makes it much more real."
Now 17, Dickson is sharing a house with friends, has a full-time job and is positive about the future. But had she been better informed, she knows the past few years could have been different. "A lot of young people are really cocky about it, saying 'my parents love me, it won't happen to me'. My parents loved me and I ended up homeless. Life doesn't always work out as you think. That's why it's so important to get information."

Hi Shawn and Kelly,
I received your note and our deposit check last week. Thanks for getting that to us so promptly!
We had the most phenomenal trip to Kentucky, thanks in large part to your beautiful home and your care and concern for our comfort. It was such a blessing to have such kind and thoughtful people to rent from. Your personal touch was truly appreciated. Your home was beyond our expectations, and was absolutely perfect for the purpose of our being there. People came and went all week, and the beautiful views and decks provided space for folks to spread out and visit. For my Dad, it was probably the most memorable trip he's ever taken. Knowing his time is limited, and having the opportunity to see so many people he loves and cares about could not have been more momentous. It was very special for both my Dad and my Mom.
Thank you for the picture of your family. What a beautiful family indeed!! I know you all look forward to making memories as a family, and I can tell you, from personal experience, that those memories will be cherished by you, Kelly, AND your children for as long as you live. God is good, and we can find blessings in our lives, no matter what hardships we have to face.
God bless you and your family, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future!
Fishing, hiking, swimming, boating, pin pong, pool, games, fire pit and a beautiful well equipped home all provided our stay with life long memories. I loved staying at this house. It was the perfect lake house getaway!
My law firm chose this property for our retreat this fall. The open layout and private location provide an ideal setting for both work and recreation. The home is amazing and has all the extras one would expect at a first class resort. Wifi kept everyone connected and the large kitchen allowed for easy dining and conversation. The huge deck space allowed our meetings to enjoy the fresh air. We will be back.
Best long week end, with extended family, in years. Home is absoluely beautiful with every amenity one would ever need. You can tell the owners are well traveled, as they have prepared this home for it's visitors.
The wrap around multiple decks gave us great pleasure with it's views and the fellowship with family it provided. The lake was great. We fished and everybody got into the water sports, including the great grandmother!
We gave it an excellent rating, because, it deserved it.
Hope to do again some day.
Are you looking for a traquil setting surrounded by nature? Perhaps you need a place to get away from it all. This lake house is the ultimate getaway from all the stresses of life. This is the place for you and your family or just a group of friends! I have been lucky enough to experience this gorgeous lake house twice. Once for a large family gathering and another time for a girls' getaway relaxation weekend. I must say that it was ideal for both! This well decorated, cozy home offers space for everyone from adults to children. The bedrooms are huge and are equipped with double bunkbeds as well as additional double beds in the same room! The master suite is beautiful and soothing with its pale blue and brown accents. The best part of the house is the outdoor patios. Dozens can gather on the side porch on the various couches and cozy chairs, or you can just have an intimate gathering. Porches downstairs and upstairs allow everyone their own private area to visit and read. A grill is provided for cooking outdoors and you can always take a walk down to the lake for some boating or swimming. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more. Top of the line appliances coupled with a large island for serving make the kitchen, great room combination ideal for sharing a meal with friends. I HIGHLY recommend this lake house for any size family gathering. I cannot wait to return and look forward to the serenity it offers!
Our family had a fabulous time at your beautiful lake house. Everything was just perfect for getting away from a hectic everyday life. The boys loved being able to run through the "forest" on the trails and the fishing. The canoe rides were especially enjoyable for them. Our daughter even learned to play chess! We loved the quiet and calm. Every part of the house was very cozy and comfortable, not to mention exceptionally clean. The location is perfect for privacy but still so convenient to dining and shopping. We have all been raving about what a great place you have to friends and family since we got home. We can't wait to come back!!
This home was everything we expected and more! The upscale amenities were wonderful – it is a luxurious lake house with all of the extras. The house had plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy and for the kids to play indoors when needed. Our family enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock, hanging out on the porches together, and a great bonfire. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for the weekend. We definitely recommend this home to other renters and would love the chance to go back again!
Our property is right on the water. Home is 30 miles from Bowling Green, KY.
Golf: Barren River Lake State Park has an 18 hole golf course and is a 10 minute drive away. Bowling Green offers several public, private and semi private courses including the Award Winning Olde Stone Golf Course.

Historical Perspectives
IDF concerned Lebanon planning water diversion (JERUSALEM POST) By YAAKOV KATZ 07/09/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=276732
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The IDF is deliberating responses ahead of the possibility that Lebanon will divert water from the Hatzbani River, a move that Israel has in the past viewed as a casus belli justification for war.
Israels concern stems from the construction of a large tourism center on the Lebanese side of the river, not far from the Israeli town of Metulla.
A senior IDF officer in the Northern Command said that construction of the center needed to be closely tracked due to the possibility it would be used to divert water from the Hatzbani, which supplies 25 percent of the Jordan Rivers waters.
Israel is concerned about the sites proximity to the border, particularly in light of a number of near-clashes between IDF troops and soldiers from the Lebanese Armed Forces.
It has our attention and we are keeping a close eye on what is happening there, the officer said. Our concerns range from the diversion of water to the possibility that the tourism center will be used as cover to launch attacks against Israel.
In one such case, a small force from the Paratroop Brigade was patrolling the border near the river two weeks ago when they spotted Lebanese troops standing 20 meters away and aiming their weapons including a rocket-propelled grenade at them. One of the Israeli soldiers, who speaks Arabic, heard the Lebanese commander dividing up targets for his men. The Israeli soldiers called in a backup force that quickly arrived at the scene, leading the Lebanese to withdraw.
In the meantime, Israel has shared its concern with UNIFIL and plans to raise the issue at one of the upcoming tripartite meetings, which the multinational peacekeeping force convenes at its Naqoura Base for IDF and Lebanese army representatives.
This could become a strategic problem, another officer said.
In 2001, Israel threatened Lebanon with military action if it continued to allow villagers to divert water from the Hatzbani River. Then-prime minister Ariel Sharon warned Lebanon that diversion of the rivers waters would be viewed as a pretext for war.
Israels threats came after Lebanon announced a plan to install a new pipeline to the river and divert approximately 5,000 cubic meters of drinking water to five villages nearby.
In 1964, the protracted battle over water broke out between Israeli and Syrian forces over Syrian efforts to divert the waters of the Hatzbani and Banyas rivers away from Israel. That led to years of IDF action until the Syrians and Lebanese gave up the idea. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 07/09/12)

These are satellites in the Palomar Sky Survey images used by google to construct their all-sky mosaic. The images were recorded decades ago, long before google came along and decided to use it. Google sky is NOT a primary source of ANY sky survey data. No serious researcher uses google sky for the purpose of retrieving sky survey images; google's processing for the mosaic degrades the quality of the original imagery (they also did not curate each of the film plates for problems and substitute with alternatives when necessary; there were other plates they could have used to eliminate the satellites from the data at these coordinates, but you get what you pay for which is nothing in this case).Quoting: Dr. Astro
The Palomar all-sky survey was conducted with monochromatic film designed for various wavelengths (red, blue, and infrared light in the case of POSS2). Google therefore used multiple plates to construct their color images, which results in severe artifacts when problems occur with individual film plates. These satellites passed through the field of view while exposing red film plate XP548. Here's the resulting image from the raw original film plate of the coordinates from the video, without all the processing and additional compression google did:
[link to i319.photobucket.com]
They're satellites. One of them faded out within the field of view as it went into orbital sunset. The exposure was 70 minutes long, thus due to the rotation of earth orbital sunset was able to occur for one satellite when it passed through, but it may have been too early in the evening for the other to experience orbital sunset in the same field of view if it passed through earlier in the exposure.
They're not actually near the sun either. Again, google is not providing live images, it's just rendering a picture of the sun onto the mosaic where the sun would be in the sky for the point in time the program is set to. These are very old images from preexisting sky surveys.

PLANNING which month your baby will be born is just about impossible. But studies have shown that the arrival date can affect a tot's development.
Scientists in Finland have found that babies born in the autumn face a higher risk of allergies to common foods such as milk and eggs.
This is thought to be linked to greater exposure to tree pollen during infancy.
Here's a breakdown of the differences each month can make.
A US study by researchers at Harvard found that babies born in the depths of winter have a greater likelihood of being tall, bright and successful, compared with summer babies.
It's believed this is because their mothers were been pregnant over the summer and autumn months and would have eaten more fruit and vegetables.
However, studies have also shown that many epileptics are born in January and December, possibly because babies are more exposed to pre-natal infections.
Children born at this time may have better eyesight, as lower levels of daylight can lead to better long-distance vision.
But February babies are also more likely to suffer from depression later in life, with Danish researchers linking this to a lack of vitamin D.
Studies going back more than 100 years have suggested women born as spring arrives have better reproductive health than others.
They have more children and their own babies are healthier.
The bad news is that having a birthday in the early months of the year is linked to an increased risk of dementia.
A US study of infants carried out in Boston found a higher risk of autism among boys born in March.
Seasonal viruses were thought to be a factor.
This month's arrivals are, on average, slightly taller than those born in winter.
That's a good thing according to Danish researchers, as there's a correlation between increased height and a longer life span.
However, US medics at Indiana University claim April babies could have their intelligence affected by the use of pesticides at this time of year.
Other studies have claimed that sufferers of the sleeping condition narcolepsy are more likely to be born in March or April.
Studies have shown that people who are born in May have a tendency to feel more upbeat than others.
It's claimed it could be to do with having their first experiences of the world during the summer.
But May babies are also more likely to suffer from seasonal affective disorder.
A study by researchers in Oxford has also shown they are 13 per cent more at risk of getting multiple sclerosis than those born in November.
Kids with summer birthdays have a great chance of being well behaved and are less likely to play truant.
But research into eating disorders have consistently shown that women born this month are most at risk.
People born at the height of summer tend to think of themselves as being more lucky, compared with people born during winter.
Psychologists at the University of Hertfordshire believe this could be down to rates of post-natal depression, which are higher among the mothers of winter babies.
The bad news is that July babies are more likely to get the cancers Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, possibly due to them being at greater risk of winter infections.
Austrian research found that tots born in the hottest months of the year are the ones who grow up to have the fewest children.
They also have a greater risk of the bowel condition Crohn's disease.
Researchers in Finland have reported that being born in the autumn increases your risk of developing allergies and asthma.
However, an 18-year study showed that children born as summer turns to autumn are likely to be slightly taller and also to have thicker bones than those born in winter. is could be down to mothers getting more sunlight and therefore more vitamin D as their pregnancy progresses.
Several studies have shown that this is the best month to have a baby if you want them to become a footballer.
Brazil legend Pele and Manchester United's Wayne Rooney are just two examples of this.
Babies born at this time of year also have the longest life expectancies and the best chance of good overall health.
Norwegian research has found that joint problems such as arthritis are least likely to affect you if you have a birthday in this month.
It is also the time when newborn babies have the lowest chance of developing multiple sclerosis later in life.
A Bristol study found that cold weather at the time of birth makes the body store more fat and also be more resistant to insulin, increasing the risk of heart disease.
December babies do, however, have less chance of being shortsighted.

Paris (ESA) Aug 06, 2014
The observations of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were made by Rosetta's visible, infrared and thermal imaging spectrometer, VIRTIS, between 13 and 21 July, when Rosetta closed in from 14 000 km to the comet to just over 5000 km.
At these distances, the comet covered only a few pixels in the field of view and so it was not possible to determine the temperatures of individual features. But, using the sensor to collect infrared light emitted by the whole comet, scientists determined that its average surface temperature is about -70C.
The comet was roughly 555 million kilometres from the Sun at the time - more than three times further away than Earth, meaning that sunlight is only about a tenth as bright.
Although -70C may seem rather cold, importantly, it is some 20-30C wRarmer than predicted for a comet at that distance covered exclusively in ice.
"This result is very interesting, since it gives us the first clues on the composition and physical properties of the comet's surface," says VIRTIS principal investigator Fabrizio Capaccioni from INAF-IAPS, Rome, Italy.
Indeed, other comets such as 1P/Halley are known to have very dark surfaces owing to a covering of dust, and Rosetta's comet was already known to have a low reflectance from ground-based observations, excluding an entirely 'clean' icy surface.
The temperature measurements provide direct confirmation that much of the surface must be dusty, because darker material heats up and emits heat more readily than ice when it is exposed to sunlight.
"This doesn't exclude the presence of patches of relatively clean ice, however, and very soon, VIRTIS will be able to start generating maps showing the temperature of individual features," adds Dr Capaccioni.
In addition to global measurements, the sensor will study the variation of the daily surface temperature of specific areas of the comet, in order to understand how quickly the surface reacts to solar illumination.
In turn, this will provide insight into the thermal conductivity, density and porosity of the top tens of centimetres of the surface. This information will be important in selecting a target site for Rosetta's lander, Philae.
It will also measure the changes in temperature as the comet flies closer to the Sun along its orbit, providing substantially more heating of the surface.
"Combined with observations from the other 10 science experiments on Rosetta and those on the lander, VIRTIS will provide a thorough description of the surface physical properties and the gases in the comet's coma, watching as conditions change on a daily basis and as the comet loops around the Sun over the course of the next year," says Matt Taylor, ESA's Rosetta project scientist.
"With only a few days until we arrive at just 100 km distance from the comet, we are excited to start analysing this fascinating little world in more and more detail."

Date of Release: January 22, 2008
Reference: Internet arrest
On Friday, January 18, 2008 at 4:35 PM, the following individual was arrested
in Worcester, Massachusetts by the Massachusetts State Police as a result of a warrant :
Scott A. Simoncini
Date of birth 01/07/73
95 Sears Island Drive
Worcester, Massachusetts
Charges: Dissemination of Matter Harmful to a Minor (5 Counts).
Attempt to Commit a Crime to wit Enticement of a Child Under
the Age of Sixteen (2 Counts).
On Friday, January 18, 2008 the Massachusetts State Police completed an arrest warrant for the above named individual. The warrant was sought subsequent to an investigation initiated by a Cyber Tipline report authored by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the Massachusetts State Police Digital Evidence and Multimedia Section and also the Massachusetts Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
The Cyber Tipline report had been generated by a reporting party detailing the online enticement of a child for sexual acts by the user of a specific screen name. The investigation expanded to include a previous online undercover operation conducted by Detective Kristyn Bernier of the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Police Department. As a result of Detective Bernier's investigation, she had identified the same suspect involved in the enticement of a child and the dissemination of matter harmful to a minor.
Detective Bernier was able to establish the physical identity of the user of the suspect screen name as the above named individual. Further investigation revealed that while communicating with the reporting party of the Cyber Tipline report, Simoncini had again disseminated matter harmful to a child.
Evidence was seized at Simoncini's residence, and he was transported to Mass. State Police headquarters in Worcester where he was processed. Bail was set at $2,500. cash.
This arrest is the result of ongoing collaborative investigations conducted by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces nationwide. The Portsmouth Police Department is the lead agency for the New Hampshire ICAC Task Force.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Portsmouth Police Dept. Bureau of Investigative Services at 436-2511. Callers can remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 431-1199 or 1-207-439-1199, or remain anonymous through their website, www.seacoastcrimestoppers.org.

Song Ci (Chinese: 宋慈; Pinyin: Sòng Cí) (1186–1249) was a forensic medical expert active during the Southern Song Dynasty who wrote a groundbreaking book titled Collected Cases of Injustice Rectified (Xi Yuan Ji Lu). He is often considered to be the Founding Father of Forensic Science in China[1]
Song Ci was born into a bureaucratic family in Jianyang (Fujian Province).[2] He served as a presiding judge in the Chinese high courts for many terms. During his post at a criminal court in Hunan Province, Song Ci would personally examine the crime scene each time he encountered a difficult case of homicide or physical assault. Song Ci combined many historical cases of forensic science with his own experiences and wrote the book Collected Cases of Injustice Rectified with an eye to avoiding miscarriages of justice. The book was esteemed by generations of forensic scientists. Eventually it was translated into English, German, Japanese, French, and other languages.

Curcumin, a yellow pigment derived from
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide, with approximately one point six million new cases and one point four million deaths each year [
Having established chemopreventive activities and preclinical anti-cancer effects, numerous naturally occurring phytochemicals provide novel therapeutic approaches and treatment alternatives. Vinblastine from
The present review focuses on the roles of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), microRNAs (miRNAs), autophagy and cancer stem cells in lung cancer therapy, and provides a synopsis of the association of curcumin and these recently established targets (
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a member of the family of growth factor receptors tyrosine kinases (TKs) that play a crucial role in cell proliferation, division and differentiation. Upon EGFR activation, the downstream intracellular signaling cascades such as the PI3K/Akt, Raf/MEK/Erk, and STAT pathways are subsequently activated leading cell survival. Aberrant EGFR expression and signaling are found in various kinds of human cancers. Somatic mutations in exon 19 and exon 21 encoding the EGFR TKs domain are found in about 10% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the United States, with 78.8% frequency in the Chinese populations with lung adenocarcinoma [
Another mechanism related to acquired EGFR-TKIs resistance involves amplification of MET, which has been reported in around 20% of acquired resistant patients. MET protein is a TK that is over expressed in various types of cancer cells, including lung cancer. The ability of MET to induce EGFR-TKIs resistance was correlated well with its mitogenic, motogenic, morphogenic, and anti-apoptotic properties [
Both established resistant mechanisms lead to sustained TKs downstream PI3K/Akt signaling in the presence of EGFR-TKIs [
For EGFR mRNA and protein, several other transcription factors have been recently recognized. Curcumin dose-dependently suppressed EGFR mRNA and protein expressions in three lines of human colon cancer-derived cells. Luciferase reporter assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay indicated that curcumin interrupted trans-activation activity of transcription factor Egr-1 in the EGFR promoter as a putative mechanism in regulating EGFR expression [
Conversely, in a recent study, Lee and colleagues investigated the EGFR degradation-inducing potential of curcumin in the primary and acquired EGFR-TKIs resistant cell lines (CL1-5 and A549, EGFR wide type; H1975, EGFRL858R + T790M). The IC50 of gefitinib for these resistant cells at 72 h (15–20 μM) was up to nearly 700-fold when compared with the EGFR-TKIs sensitive PC-9 cells (EGFR19del) (IC50 = 30 nM). The resistant cell proliferation was significantly inhibited when gefitinib and curcumin were used in combination. Pre-treatment with curcumin also dose-dependently reduced phosphor-EGFR protein expression, and its downstream signaling was stimulated by exogenous EGF. Interestingly, the endogenous EGFR was dramatically depleted in response to curcumin in the three gefitinib resistant cells as well [
Taken together, all of the abovementioned studies indicate a potent role of curcumin in overcoming resistance supported by EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC. Herein we raised the hypothesis that curcumin as an adjuvant therapeutic agent in both primary and secondary EGFR-TKIs resistant NSCLC cells, at least in part, for its epigenetic activity on EGFR expression. Promoting ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated EGFR degradation and inhibiting EGFR downstream signaling initiated by curcumin are yet novel strategies that ultimately might be embraced as potential therapies for resistant NSCLC (
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short highly conserved non-coding RNAs, which undergo sequential processing by the RNase III-like enzymes Drosha/Dicer from hairpin-structured precursors [
Aberrant miRNAs signatures have been observed in various kinds of human cancers. More recently, miRNAs have been detected in sputum and peripheral blood, which gave rise to a lot of attention for their potential clinical relevance in the early detection and prognostic prediction of lung cancer [
Only a few reports have so far investigated the effect of curcumin on miRNAs expressions. A pioneering study from Sun
Furthermore, miRNAs have been reported to modulate chemotherapeutic drug resistance. Certain miRNAs were identified that defect in apoptosis and enable cancer cells to escape apoptosis is of extremely importance. Guo
Overall, the above studies support multiple roles for individual miRNAs in regulating carcinogenesis and tumor progression in various human cancers. We predict that modulation of miRNAs and their multiple target genes by curcumin is a novel therapeutic approach to human cancer with respect to promote cancer cell apoptosis and overcome drugs resistance. However, these approaches are still in the
Apoptosis has been considered as the predominant type of programmed cell death (PCD), and the major form of cell death induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. While autophagy has attracted a lot of interest in the field of oncological research during the past decades because it is designated as PCD type II, apoptosis is well-known as PCD type I and necrosis as type III PCD. Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process typically found in eukaryocytes. It is morphologically characterized by sequestering organelles and long-lived proteins in double membrane-bound autophagic vacuoles, also known as autophagosomes. These autophagosomes degrade and recycle proteins and defective cellular organelles by fusing with lysosomes to form autolysosomes [
The distinct roles of autophagy in carcinogenesis as well as in cancer progression are still being elucidated, with seemingly conflicting studies suggesting that the induction of autophagy mediates chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic resistance in certain types of tumors while it enhances cell death in others. On the one side, decreased autophagic activity associated with malignant cells may be related to the prevention of excessive protein loss upon starvation of tumor cells [
While autophagy appears to play dual roles in certain types of cancers as discussed above, there is also data supporting the hypothesis that the induction of autophagy can be medicated by curcumin. In human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) K562 cell line, curcumin triggers apoptosis and autophagy in a caspase-dependent and -independent manner, respectively [
Collectively, the general conclusion has been drawn from these studies that autophagy plays a dual role in determining cell survival and programmed death during its dysregulation. Results from these studies highlight the importance of curcumin in regulating autophagy and the potential utility of autophagy as a means of predicting therapeutic outcome. Although the role of curcumin-induced autophagy discussed above have not been fully investigated in lung cancers, the above-mentioned studies indicate that curcumin-induced autophagy is associated with cancer cell growth suppression and death, suggesting that its involvement in lung cancer is warranted and worth investigating.
The concept of cancer stem cell (CSC) was initially introduced when Bonnet and Dick [
Given these considerations, attempts targeting CSCs and corresponding signaling pathways are being carried out in several preclinical studies. For example, RNA interference with Wnt/β-catenin signaling in lung CSCs strongly decreased cancer cell proliferation, clone formation and drug resistance abilities [
Eliminating CSCs by targeting relevant signaling pathways and designing agents to inhibit these pathways have been somewhat successful approaches. However, these established targets participate in numerous physiological and pathological process and they are not cancers- and CSCs-specific. Systemic inhibition of these signaling pathways could have serious consequences for the host. Potential undesirable side effects caused by agents targeting the above-mentioned pathways should be kept in mind. Targeting CSCs-specific self-renewal pathways and mechanisms to delete CSCs while limiting mistargeting on normal stem cells and somatic cells might generate profound approaches to eliminate tumorigenic cells. Phytochemicals have been reported to selectively target CSCs and have no defined deleterious effect on the normal stem cells in a number of preclinical studies [
An inspiring feature of curcumin is that it is remarkable well absorbed and tolerated in animal models and humans. A growing number of systemic studies has shown that curcumin given at a dosage up to 3500 mg/kg/body weight for up to 90 days is safe in rats, dogs, or monkeys, without evident adverse effects. Curcumin has also been granted an acceptable daily intake level up to 3 mg/kg/body weight in humans by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives [
In summary, we have discussed a line of novel molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets for curcumin, including EGFR degradation, miRNA, autophagy and CSC, in human lung cancer. Curcumin used as a single agent or in combination with other chemotherapeutics might offer more clinical benefits through promoting EGFR degradation, manipulating miRNA expression profiles, triggering cancer cell autophagy and eliminating CSC, respectively. Since EGFR-TKIs have several advantages compared with other treatment options and they are becoming a central component of first-, second- and third-line treatment for NSCLC, reversing and overcoming EGFR-TKIs resistance are of great urgency. Given that curcumin suppresses EGFR mRNA expression, promotes EGFR protein degradation, and precludes EGFR-TKIs toxicity of intestines injury, curcumin might offer another way to attenuate EGFR-related signals regardless of EGFR mutation status. Besides, curcumin, as a novel epigenetic agent, interacts with miRNAs implicated in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Limited data are available underscoring the hypothesis that curcumin facilitates the design of appropriate therapies targeting miRNAs; more well controlled experiments are still needed to comprehensively evaluate the impact of curcumin on lung cancer outcomes in an adjuvant settings. Curcumin functional-induced cancer cell autophagy and CSC elimination are of special interest, representing an important variable to kill cancer cells and prevent cancer relapse, thereby shedding light on a new approach to the therapeutic strategy of lung cancer.
Overall, results from these studies highlight the importance of curcumin in lung cancer treatment and the potential utility of curcumin as a means of improving therapeutic outcome. Despite the potential for rationally designed therapies, confirmatory findings are required from prospective trials conducted in defined lung cancer patient populations.
The present study was supported by grants of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (81073107).
Currently well established targets (red bubbles) and potential novel targets (green bubbles) for curcumin in human lung cancer.
The gene structure of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the genetic targets for curcumin and epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TKIs). Exons 1–16 encode the EGFR extracellular domain (green), exons 17–18 encode the transmembrane domain (gray) and exons 19–21 encode the tyrosine kinase domain (red). Cancer cells harboring deletions in exon 19 or L858R mutation in exon 21 are sensitive to EGFR-TKIs (red arrows indicated). Secondary T790M mutation in exon 20 is a mechanism of acquired EGFR-TKIs resistance (black arrow indicated). Two transcription factors Egr-1 and Sp bind to EGFR gene promoter and accelerate EGFR mRNA transcription. Whereas curcumin attenuates Egr-1 and Sp binding and inhibites EGFR mRNA expressions.
Molecular mechanisms of EGFR-mediated cancer cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Upon activation, the extracellular domain of EGFR protein (green) transducts the signal into the intracellular tyrosine domain (red) through the transmembrane domain (gray). The PLCγ, PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways are subsequently activated, leading to cancer cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. However, in the presence of curcumin, EGFR protein undergoes ubiquitination and degradation. Decreased EGFR protein on the cell membrane attenuates proliferative, invasive and metastatic signals, leading to cancer cell apoptosis and death. This mechanism works regardless of EGFR mutation status.
Curcumin alters miRNAs and relevant target expression in pancreatic, colorectal, breast and lung cancers.

National Climate Summary: Autumn 2014
National Climate Summary: Autumn 2014 Issued: 5 June 2014
A warm and sunny autumn for much of the North Island, wet for many parts of the South Island.
Rainfall It was a wet autumn for much of the South Island and parts of the lower North Island. Autumn rainfall was well above normal (more than 150% of normal) in south-western Southland, and along the eastern South Island near Dunedin and north of Timaru. Autumn rainfall was above normal (120-150% of normal) in Nelson, Marlborough, many remaining parts of Canterbury and Otago, and inland Southland. In contrast, rainfall was below normal (50-79% of autumn normal) for Northland, Auckland, and the Coromandel Peninsula, as well as in parts of Gisborne, Hawke's Bay and Taranaki. Remaining areas of New Zealand typically received near normal autumn rainfall (within 20% of autumn normal).
Soil moisture At the start of autumn, soils were much drier than normal across most of the North Island. Welcome autumn rainfall saw an improvement in soil moisture levels across many parts of the North Island, but as of 1 June 2014, drier than normal soils persist for parts of Auckland and Northland, whilst soils about northern Gisborne, the Central Plateau and Hawke's Bay were also drier than normal. As of 1 June 2014 soils were wetter than normal throughout the eastern South Island, the Southern Lakes and Central Otago, whilst soil moisture levels were near normal for most remaining areas of the country.
Temperature Autumn temperatures were near average (within 0.5°C of the autumn average) for much of Northland, Auckland, Mahia Peninsula, coastal Wairarapa, Wellington, Marlborough, Canterbury, eastern Otago and the Catlins. Autumn temperatures were above average (0.5°C to 1.2°C above average) or well above average (more than 1.2°C above average) for remaining areas of the country.
Sunshine Autumn sunshine was abundant for most of the North Island, where above normal (110-125% of autumn normal) or well above normal (more than 125% of autumn normal) sunshine was received. The exception was towards and along the south-western coast of the island from Taranaki to Wellington, where sunshine was near normal (within 10% of autumn normal) or below normal (75-89% of autumn normal). Below normal or near normal sunshine for autumn was received across the entire South Island.

Jefferson leads Bobcats to 109-87 win over Pacers
Al Jefferson scored 34 points in Charlotte's 109-87 victory over the Indiana Pacers 109-87 Wednesday night that gave the Bobcats their fifth straight home win.
Jefferson was 16 of 25 from the field and had eight rebounds for the Bobcats (28-33), who equaled their combined win total from the previous two seasons.
Jefferson, whose 38-point, 19-rebound effort Monday night was overshadowed by LeBron James' career-high 61-point outing, has scored at least 20 points in 21 of his last 24 games.
Charlotte became the first team since the 2009-10 Knicks to play the NBA's top four teams in consecutive games. They previously lost to San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Miami on the road.
Evan Turner had 22 points for the Pacers (46-15), who lost back-to-back games for only the second time this season.

ObituaryDr. Saroja Adusumilli
The University lost one of its promising young faculty members March 3, colleagues say, when Dr. Saroja Adusumilli, a clinical assistant professor of radiology in the Medical School, died from injuries sustained during an automobile accident.
A member of the faculty since September 2002, she was a well-respected authority on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a member of the Department of Radiology's abdominal imaging group.
The accident occurred while she was returning from giving four talks at a university-sponsored continuing medical education conference in Arizona. There, she gave guidance on specific medical-imaging techniques to more than 125 physicians from around the country.
"She was something special," says Dr. Richard Cohan, professor and associate department chair in radiology. "Although not many patients meet or think about the person who's responsible for interpreting their medical images, Saroja took that responsibility incredibly seriously, and cared about her patients.
"Every image was a person to hera mother, a father, a sonand she tried hard to figure out what was wrong and how to help," says Dr. Hero Hussain, director of MRI.
An alumna of the U-M radiology residency program, Dr. Adusumilli was elected chief resident by her peers in 2000her final year in the programan honor reserved for those with leadership potential and clinical skill.
After joining the faculty, she became a valuable mentor to the current residents and fellows. At the time of her death, she was the associate director of the department's residency program. She also authored several research papers.
"Her selfless dedication to patient care and teaching made her a role model for faculty and trainees alike," says Dr. N. Reed Dunnick, the Fred Jenner Hodges Professor and Chair of Radiology.
Her colleague Dr. Elaine Caoli adds, "Saroja was a wonderful human being. Her dedication to the radiology residency, to the radiology department, to patients, to her colleagues was tremendous, beyond compare. She was an excellent radiologist, an outstanding teacher and most importantly a genuinely caring and compassionate person who always placed the interests of her colleagues, residents, and patients ahead of her own."

The TV morning show team from WIFR 23 (local CBS) station paid me a visit on Thursday, July 14th. Aaron Wilson and I had a great time showing the TV viewers ways to "frost" their outdoor living spaces. We came up with so many inexpensive ways to add an element of "special"…like cutting a piece of outdoor carpet into a crazy shape, painting a design on the canvas umbrella, adding popsicles to bubbly wine, making a little bar out of an old bookcase, using lemons and wine corks and watermelons for candle votives, wrapping a bottle of wine in an outdoor flag for a hostess gift, teaching kids how to create a "marketable" lemonade stand, and turning big planters over for an instant seating option. Who knew that these little touches could make such a meaningful and functional impact? I LOVE summer!

The injury news revolving around the Los Angeles Kings during the early part of the 2013 NHL season has been up and down to say the least. First line center Anze Kopitar, and veteran defensemen Matt Greene and Willie Mitchell have all dealt with injuries, either heading into the new season, or during Saturday's season opening loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Mitchell, whose return timetable had been up in the air as of late, took a possible step forward on Monday, going through his first full practice since undergoing knee surgery in December, reports Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times.
Mitchell accompanied the team on its current 3-game road trip, and barring any setbacks, will continue skating with contact in the coming days.
"A little bit of contact yesterday and it'll get more as we go through the trip," head coach Darryl Sutter said. "That's why I want him on the trip. He hasn't played for seven months. It's going to take some time here."
Sutter's comments seem to imply that Mitchell is not quite ready, but news of him practicing with contact provides some optimism to an unidentified return date.
As for the other injured players, Kopitar will make an anticipated return tonight against the Colorado Avalanche after injuring his knee during the lockout, while Greene will miss anywhere from a couple of months to the remainder of the 2013 season due to a back injury that will require surgery.Tags: Anze Kopitar, Darryl Sutter, Hockey, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Kings, Matt Greene, NHL, Willie Mitchell

Damask Arm Warmers
This pattern is available for free.
Arm warmers with a charted damask pattern. These are very simple to create, and a very nice warm accessory. They are just long enough to keep your hands cozy without getting in the way of winter wear, they act like toasty little sleeve extenders.
They call for about one 50g skein of the main color of yarn, and less than half a skein of the contrasting color, so they are a fantastic stash busting project.

Air France jet's final minutes a free-fall
Final minutes of Air France Flight 447
Source: France's Bureau d'Enquetes et d'Analyses
Graphic by Frank Pompa and Janet Loehrke, USA TODAY
The final moments of Air France Flight 447 were a harrowing free-fall over the Atlantic Ocean as the wide-body jet plunged more than 7 miles in 3½ minutes, French accident investigators said Friday.
The Airbus A330 jet carrying 228 people became stalled — one of the greatest hazards in aviation because the air stops flowing over the wings and an aircraft can no longer fly — after what veteran pilots described as a mystifying maneuver by a co-pilot who pulled the jet into a steep climb.
The emergency began at 2:10:05 a.m. GMT on June 1, 2009, several hours after the jet left Rio de Janeiro for Paris, when the jet entered a high-altitude storm that iced up its speed sensors. Without accurate speed information, the autopilot disconnected and probably left the pilots confused. But that does not explain the puzzling decision by the co-pilot at the controls to climb from 35,000 feet to 38,000 feet, aviation safety experts say.
"It's just such a tragedy," says John Cox, an aviation safety consultant and former airline pilot. "They don't understand what's going on. The idea that they pulled back and climbed that 3,000 feet — I just shake my head. I'm hard-pressed to understand it."
As a result of the abrupt climb, the jet stalled. It then fell like a leaf, its wings rocking back and forth, plummeting at speeds of more than 100 mph, according to the jet's flight data recorder.
A stall has nothing to do with a jet's engines, which the BEA said were operating normally. It occurs when the wings no longer produce enough lift to keep a plane aloft. Stalls are triggered by slow speeds or when a plane's nose is too high.
The French Bureau d'Enquetes et d'Analyses, or BEA, the nation's aviation accident investigation agency, did not rule on the cause of the crash, but the data released point to confusion over misleading speed indications and the failure of the pilots to respond correctly to a stall. Based on earlier information released by the BEA, investigators believe that the jet's speed sensors became iced over and inaccurate.
"So, we've lost the speeds," one of the pilots said 11 seconds after the problem began. The comment, from the jet's cockpit voice recorder, was apparently translated from French to English by the BEA.
The information released by the BEA is the first comprehensive account of the accident and was made possible by the discovery of the jet's wreckage earlier this year at 12,800 feet beneath the ocean. Both of the jet's crash-proof recorders were retrieved and operated flawlessly despite spending nearly two years at such depths, the BEA said.
The ordeal began about 10 minutes after Capt. Marc Dubois announced he was taking a rest break, a routine pilots follow on lengthy overseas flights. A spare co-pilot, David Robert, was summoned to the cockpit to take the captain's place.
Another co-pilot who was flying the plane, Pierre-Cedric Bonin, ordered a slight left turn to avoid storms that they had spotted ahead and warned flight attendants that they were about to fly into turbulent air.
Two minutes after that, the emergency began abruptly when the autopilot shut itself off. "I have the controls," Bonin said.
Almost immediately, the pilot pulled the jet into a climb. There was no indication in the data released by BEA why the pilot would want to climb.
If pilots lose accurate speed information, they are taught to fly level and maintain the same power setting until they can diagnose the problem. In several other cases, A330 jets lost accurate airspeed information and pilots flew until speed indications returned to normal, typically after a short period.
On the Air France jet, the speed information became accurate within less than a minute, well before the jet crashed, the BEA said.
Another puzzling aspect of the accident is why the pilot continued to try to pull up the nose of the jet, Cox and others said. For almost the entire plunge, the pilots kept pulling back on the joy stick that controls the plane, keeping the nose too high for the plane to fly.
The correct response to a stall is to do the opposite: lower the nose to increase speed and the flow of air over the wings.
The captain returned to the cockpit about 90 seconds after the emergency began, but there is no indication in the preliminary report what he said or what actions he took.
More than two minutes into the emergency the pilots briefly lowered the nose and the forward speed of the jet increased, the BEA said. But the nose did not come down enough to halt the stall and the pilots continued pulling the nose up.
Poor reactions to stalls are a common safety problem and have been linked to dozens of crashes around the world.
The pilots of Colgan Air Flight 3407, which crashed near Buffalo on Feb. 12, 2009, killing 50 people, also mishandled a stall, the National Transportation Safety Board ruled. The captain on that flight, reacting to a different type of emergency, also inexplicably yanked the plane into a steep climb and then did not respond correctly to the plane's stall warning system.
In another sign of the confusion in the Air France cockpit, the pilots reduced the jet engine power to idle even as they desperately needed to increase their speed, the BEA said.
The last recorded measurement shows the plane plummeting at 10,912 feet per minute — 124 mph.
Though the actions of the pilots appear to have triggered the stall, it is too early to parcel out blame, said Michael Barr , an instructor at the Aviation Safety and Security Program at the University of Southern California.
The pilot would have faced a confusing array of flashing lights, warning horns and text alerts, Barr said. "If I was doing the investigation, I would ask how many times he was in the simulator with a loss of airspeed," he said.
The BEA may also be looking at aspects of the Airbus jet's design that could have deepened the confusion.
For example, Airbus designs its stall warning system to stop sounding if a jet's forward speed goes below 69 mph. As a result, the stall warning stopped for an unspecified time during the Air France jet's plunge, the BEA said. The stall warning started again during the pilots' fleeting attempt to lower the nose.

We had 3 nights in a dormer room, loved the soaking tub. Top floor rooms are not for the out of shape. Breakfasts were plentiful, great coffee. You can easily walk to downtown area from here. I did get a little tired of mangos 3 mornings in a row...

I travelled to Montreal with two friends and we stayed at the Victoria B and B. The rooms were great with comfortable beds and pillows. The home was decorated in it's heritage style and was so charming. Our hosts were welcoming and informative . The location was great for us. We were close to the latin quarter and there were so many restaurants to chose from It was about a 20 minute walk to old montreal. The B and B was centrally located. We had a great breakfast every morning. The atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. I would recommend this over a hotel and would come and stay here again.

This B&B was recommended by a friend, and it is absolutely incredible. The entire interior is furnished in the style of the 1850s, incredibly beautiful. The staff is very friendly, uncomplicated and helpful. A big plus is also the location, right in the latin quarter, perfect for going out and a good central starting place for exploring Montreal on foot. The breakfast follows the "apple philosophy": not a lot of choice, but everything they do have is of fantastic quality, including wonderful fresh bread (every day a different variety), freshly squeezed orange juice and home-made jam. We enjoyed it very much. Everything else was top-notch, very clean and nice amenities, wonderful bathtub right in the room and good free wifi. With the curtains drawn, our room became almost completely dark, which was great for sleeping in. The only advice on improvement I could give to the owners: put the fire warnings and escape routes into nice frames that go with the rest of the beautiful interior. The current arrangement just does not fit with the interior at all. That this is my only critique says a lot. I can highly recommend this B&B.

I travel to Montreal fairly often, and I usually stay at Victorian Heritage when I do. It has come to feel like a home away from home, and I am never disappointed. It is well located, the rooms are lovely, and breakfast is always phenomenal.

For a better user interaction. There are many python scripts in Gentoo Linux that just require to press a key to answer a question like (Y/n); really great to answer a lot of questions like you may have in the step-by-step mode of regexplace.py !
The solution is to use a getch() python function, for example the one provided by this script: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/134892
Just save it getch.py, and add 'import getch' in regexplace.py. Then replace each question of type:
question = raw_input('write(Y), skip (n), quit (q) ? ')
question = string.lower(question)
print 'write(Y), skip (n), quit (q) ? '
question = string.lower(getch.getch())
That's all !
Thanks Stefano for this powerful script !
