Changes to the installation programs
The 9.5.7 version of Alphablox that you purchased with IBM InfoSphere Warehouse is no longer installed by the IBM InfoSphere™ Warehouse installation program. The Alphablox version 9.5.7 has two installation programs. One is for installing Alphablox on a system on which InfoSphere Warehouse is installed, and the other is for installing Alphablox on a system on which InfoSphere Warehouse is not installed.
If you are installing Alphablox with InfoSphere Warehouse, follow the directions in this document. If you are installing Alphablox without InfoSphere Warehouse, follow the directions in the Alphablox Installation Guide:http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ablxhelp/v9r5m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.abx.ins.doc/abxinstall_home.htm
Blox Builder software is not included in InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 installer nor is Blox Builder feature included in InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 client. InfoSphere Warehouse client users who want to use the Blox Builder feature need to install the Blox Builder plug-ins using the Eclipse Updater.
Installing Alphablox with InfoSphere Warehouse
- Make sure the InfoSphere Warehouse v9.7 is installed, then run the runFirst Utility in a command prompt.
Note: If you run setup.exe (for Windows) or setup.sh (for Linux or UNIX) instead, an error will occur.
- Windows
- Linux or UNIX
- Windows
- Enter the complete installation directory where the InfoSphere Warehouse v9.7 is installed, then press Enter. The Alphablox installation wizard starts.
- Complete the installation wizard.
Installing Blox Builder in the Design Studio of InfoSphere Warehouse version 9.7
Blox Builder feature is not included in the InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 installer nor is Blox Builder feature included in InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 client. If you want to use Blox Builder feature in InfoSphere Warehouse client, you need to add the Blox Builder feature and plug-ins to the InfoSphere Warehouse Design Studio version 9.7 using the Eclipse Updater. You need to have an Internet connection to proceed.
- In the InfoSphere Warehouse client, select Available Software tab, and click Add Site. A window displays prompting you to enter the location of the Blox Builder feature and plug-ins. , click
- Click Local, find the Blox Builder feature and plug-ins in the CD\tooling\atp\UpdateSite directory, and click OK.
- Select the Blox Builder checkbox, and click Install. The Eclipse will process the requirements and dependencies for Blox Builder, then download the Blox Builder feature and plug-ins. You need to have an Internet connection to proceed.
- Complete the installation wizard, then restart the Eclipse client. Now you can open the Blox Builder perspective by selecting .
Installing Blox BuilderFollow the directions in the link to install Blox Builder: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ablxhelp/v9r5m0/topic/com.ibm.db2.abx.e2b.doc/abx_t_installe2b_18.html
Migrating Alphablox metadata, applications and the Blox Builder items
Migrating Alphablox metadata
The Alphablox Repository Migration Utility for InfoSphere Warehouse is provided to migrate metadata from the version 9.5.x database repository to the version 9.7 database repository. Before you start the Utility, you need to ensure the following steps have been completed.
- Start the Alphablox version 9.5.7 server at least one time.
- Shut down the Alphablox version 9.5.7 server if it is running.
The Migration Utility is located in the Alphablox_installation/bin directory. You need to change the current directory to this bin directory in a command prompt, and run the MigrateRepository.bat (for Windows), or the MigrateRepository.sh (for Linux or UNIX). Then you follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the Utility. When the steps are completed, all the source information for the DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows server for version 9.5.x of the Alphablox database repository is copied to the version 9.7 database repository. Migrating the information from the source DB2 LUW Server does not override the information in the destination DB2 LUW server.
Migrating Alphablox applications
Complete the following steps to migrate the Alphablox applications that are deployed on the WebSphere Application Server for the 9.5.x version of InfoSphere Warehouse
- Change all the private bookmarks in the Alphablox applications to public bookmarks.
- Export each of the Alphablox applications as an enterprise archive (EAR) file.
- Import each of the EAR files into the new WebSphere Application Server. You must also manually copy the associated JSP files for each application into the new Websphere Application Server.
- Copy the associated JSP files for each application from the Websphere Application Server for the 9.5.x version of InfoSphere Warehouse into the new Websphere Application Server.
- Change the public bookmarks that are private bookmarks before the migration to public bookmarks.
Migrating the Blox Builder items
You need to first export the Blox Builder items to a new Alphablox server or to a .zip file in the Blox Builder perspective of the InfoSphere Warehouse version 9.5 Design Studio, then import these items from the Alphablox server, or a .zip file.
Fixes in the Alphablox 9.5.7 release
|The GridBlox Alert Scope setting generates ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when two members are specified for a dimension.
|Excel export fails with error "File Format is not Valid" due to downlevel POI jar file.
|Excel Export has wrong values when export with template grid cells using K or M numeric formatting.
|Add support for Adobe Acrobat v9 when rendering Blox to PDF.
|Add support for WebSphere Application Server v7.
|Improve performance of Database repository when querying bookmarks.
|Alphablox client bookmark dialog renames bookmark, even if BookmarkRenameFilter processing calls method cancelEvent() on server.
|Calculated members appear in wrong position in grid or dissappear from grid when multiple dimensions are placed on same axis.
|depthRadius does not work correctly for pie charts.
|Rendering jsp for Excel using URL parameter render=xls fails when using IE6 browser.
|MSAS Member name containing "FROM" causes String Index out of Range error.
|Error occurs when perform member filter search if member name contains a DBCS character and data source is SSAS.
|Radar chart does not display correct values.
|Alphablox 8.4 GA formatted times in 24-hour format, but later fixpaks switched to 12-hour format. Add option to customize time format.
|Alphablox grid shows "#no access" instead of data value if datasource is SSAS 2005 and data type is BigInt.
Known issues
- The Alphablox Javadoc for DataBlox method setPassword ( ) needs to be updated.
- The setPassword (Java™.lang.String password) only applies to new data sources. If you want to change passwords for existing data sources, use the setPassword (Java.lang.String newpassword, Java.lang.String oldpassword).
- The initial and maximum heap size and the generic JVM arguments for WebSphere Application Server (WAS) need to be manually set when you install the IBM Alphablox version 9.5.7 against IBM InfoSphere Warehouse version 9.7
- Because the IBM Alphablox version 9.5.7 is not shipped with the InfoSphere Warehouse version 9.7, the InfoSphere Warehouse installer does not automatically set the initial and maximum heap size and generic JVM arguments for WAS. You need to manually set the heap size and the generic JVM argument in WAS 6.1 or 7, so that Alphablox 9.5.7 can work properly on Linux or UNIX, even when DISPLAY settings are not available for various reasons. The initial and maximum heap size are preferably set to be over 256 MB and 512 MB respectively.
- After migrating Alphablox to 9.5.7 in InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7, only the public bookmarks are visible in the user-defined applications.
- After the user-defined applications of Alphablox 9.5.x in the InfoSphere Warehouse 9.5.x are migrated to the Alphablox 9.5.7 in InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7, only the public bookmarks are visible. The workaround is to change all private bookmarks in Alphablox applications to public bookmarks before the migration. After migration is completed, you can change any public bookmarks to private bookmarks, and these private bookmarks will be visible.
- ChartBlox attribute aggregateIdenticalInstances does not work as documented.
- According the Alphablox documentation, when the value for ChartBlox attribute aggregateIdenticalInstances is set to true, the data of the identical instances will be aggregated. However, the data of identical instances will not be aggregated unless two other attributes, rowsOnXAxis and rowHeaderColumn, are both set to their default values. When you intend to have the identical series aggregated in a chart, ensure the values for rowsOnXAxis and rowHeaderColumn are both set to the default values.
- The IBM Alphablox documentation incorrectly states that Blox Builder can be installed in Rational Application Developer Version 7
- The Alphablox documentation states that Blox Builder can be installed in Rational Application Developer (RAD) v7, but this is incorrect. Blox Builder cannot be installed in RAD 7.
- Login exception occurs when you log into the Alphablox Administrative page after Alphablox is installed on Tomcat 5.5.26 or later versions.
- You can successfully install Alphablox on Tomcat 5.5.26 or later versions, but when you log into the Alphablox Administrative page after the installation is completed, a login exception will occur. To avoid this problem, you can use the versions of Tomcat from 5.5.17 to 5.5.25.
- Submenus in Alphablox reports display abnormally in Internet Explorer 8 when you right-click the reports
If you use Alphablox with Internet Explorer 8, when you right-click the reports, the submenus are skewed to the left and blink a few times. Although the submenus can still be used, they are not displayed in the right positions. To solve this problem, you need to enable the
Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints option from the Internet Setting for the Internet Zone. Complete the following steps to enable this option:
- In Internet Explorer 8, click Tools->Internet Options. The Internet Options window opens.
- Click the Security tab, and select Internet from the four security zones.
- Click the Custom Level button to open the security settings window.
- Scroll down the list of settings to the Miscellaneous section, select Enable under the Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints option, and click OK to save the changes.
- Click OK again to return to the main window of Internet Explorer.
- The x1AxisEndMargin attribute for ChartBlox property formatProperties is not documented
The Alphablox documentation states that the formatProperties property for chart tag is used only to set individual data series colors, the x-axis text rotation custom angle, and the waterfall color array. This property can also be used to configure the right margin of a chart by adding the x1AxisEndMargin attribute to the arguments for formatProperties. When the x Axis labels in a chart are truncated, you can either increase the right margin by using the x1AxisEndMargin, or rotate the labels by using the XAxisTextRotation attribute. Here is an example with the x1AxisEndMargin attribute:
formatProperties="colorSeries_default_0 = {foreground:yellow;}, colorSeries_default_1 = {foreground:red;}, colorSeries_default_4 = {foreground:#FF9900;}, chart = {x1AxisEndMargin:20;}"
- Starting the stand-alone Blox Builder fails in a new workspace on Linux
If you use the stand-alone Blox Builder v9.5.7 on Linux, when you start Blox Builder the first time in a new workspace, an error might occur. The error message in the workspace log looks like this:
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: XPCOM error -2147467262 at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.error(Mozilla.java:1638) at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.setText(Mozilla.java:1861) at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.setText(Browser.java:737)
echo "org.eclipse.ui/showIntro=false" > /tmp/noWelcomeScreen.ini eclipse -pluginCustomization /tmp/noWelcomeScreen.ini

For the past month or so Drake has gotten roasted on a meme called 'Drake the type...' where he gets dragged for being soft. Go here for a sample.
Just so you know Drake is in on the joke and he don't care....
Last night on Instagram Drake made his true feelings known by liking a picture clowning the meme.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/3/2014 (1206 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Kelsey Jordan hasn't been playing volleyball for very long, but her dedication to improve every day has her shaping up to be an impact player over the next few years.
The 14-year-old setter took up the sport after going to a camp put on by former national team coach Mike Burchuk, where she was told she had good hands.
She's enjoyed the sport since then and has had a lot of support at home in Carberry. Lisa Nichol, an assistant coach with the Brandon University Bobcats, teaches and coaches volleyball in Carberry, and has helped the 5-foot-10 Jordan come into her own.
Jordan played on Nichol's Westman Volleyball Club team last spring and is learning from her and former Bobcats left side Chloe Reimer on the 15-and-under Cats Gold club team this spring.
Although she hasn't been playing volleyball for long, Jordan feels she has improved a lot and learned much from her coaches.
"I've come a long way in the year and a half that I've been working on it, and my coaches have been so great and my team is so great that they make me look good," Jordan said. "I just really hope I can keep getting better and don't stop here."
What may be most impressive about Jordan, who is projected to be at least six feet tall, is her work ethic. Raised by a pair of teachers who also coach sports, Jordan knows the value of hard work, and she puts it into everything she does.
She has a 95 per cent average in school and puts a lot of time into volleyball as well. She's following the weight lifting regimen laid out for her Cats club team, but also does strength and conditioning exercises privately and works with veteran high school coach Dean Kachur of Killarney on her setting in the off-season as well.
"It's really all I want to do," she said. "I'm so dedicated to it I just want to do better all the time. I'd rather work every day at it than sit on the couch and do nothing."
Her hard work is paying off this season as her club is currently ranked third in the province in its age group. However, the team isn't satisfied with that and hopes to win the provincial championship in Winnipeg next month.
Jordan is also going to try out for the provincial 15-and-under team this summer.
"I'm going to try out for it. I don't know if I'll make it, but I think almost my whole team will try out and it will be really fun if I do," she said.
"I think I have a lot (of confidence). I try to have a lot. I want to be really confident and try to be a starter. I hope I push it into my team too."
Reimer sees a lot of good traits and great potential in Jordan. The Cats Gold coach believes Jordan could have a good future in volleyball at the CIS level, but knows that she will need to continue to be motivated to succeed and go as far as she hopes.
"She's just a natural leader. She's always loud and encouraging and gives 110 per cent, which you need out of a setter," Reimer said. "As long as she keeps her head in the game (she can go to an elite level)."

Thank you for this detailed info.
First just to make sure: you are running Windows XP & all other programs have been turned off.
Please first download "fmsdisk01.exe" from here. And Be Sure to save that file to your DESKTOP.
Now that the file is completely downloaded onto your desktop. Please Open or Run the "fmsdisk01.exe" file. This will now install the actual software into your computer system, please install English version (for most people). Once the FMS software is completely installed, you can now run the Flight Module Simulator (FMS) on your computer. Users of New versions of Windows (more recent than WinXP), Please Read Below, otherwise skip that (***) section.
***Setup Instruction for Windows more recent than WinXP***
For those of you who have a more current Windows edition you will need to add a file into the 'FMS' folder in order to successfully run FMS on that Window. If you do not, you WILL get an error message "missing file d3drm.dll" when you do try to run FMS. So just follow the below instructions and add that file to your FMS folder before you start up the FMS program.
Please download the below file: (http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-.../download.html) to your desktop.
Go to My computer > C Drive > Program Files > FMS
Go to Start > Run > C:\Program Files\FMS
Go to My computer > C Drive > Program Files (x86) > FMS if you have Windows 7 64bit.
You will need to place a copy of "D3DRM.DLL" file in the FMS folder, Highlight 'd3drm.dll', Right-Click it and hit "COPY', move mouse to the FMS folder and Right-Click and hit Paste. A copy should now be in the FMS folder.
Launch the Flight Simulator again.
***End Of setup Instruction for Windows more recent than WinXP***
Please first make sure your Transmitter(TX) (either real Transmitter or the fake one) is plugged directly to your computer via USB port. (USB port is much easier to work with & Real Transmitter needs Power Light ON to Operate on computer, the Fake remote does not need any battery to operate.) Once the remote is plugged in, now please run the Flight Module Simulator (FMS) via the Short Cut.
For every new installation of the FMS you will always need to configure the FMS program to "correctly" accept commands from the transmitter(TX), so that the controls / buttons work EXACTLY like they would on a real R/C Helicopter or R/C Plane. To configure the FMS program to your Transmitter(TX), Please follow the Below pictures & instructions.
So FMS is installed on your computer, Open or Run the FMS program and this Screen will appear. Notice Top Row contains all the commands for configuring / Editing this software. Please Go to "Controls" & then "Analog Control".
A box will appear, Please Highlight "Joystick Interface".
Under "Joystick Interface", please first Click on "Resources" to check to see if your Computer Recognizes the Transmitter(TX) Remote that should be plugged into your computer via a USB port.
Once you click on "Resources", This screen will pop up. It will display information under "Joystick 1" and "Joystick 2". Underneath our above picture "Joystick 1" says "Microsoft PC-joystick driver" which is a CONFIRMED SUCCESS. This means your computer is able to read the TX Remote that is Plugged into the Computer. As long as the "Microsoft PC-joystick driver" message is there along with 6 blue/white bars, either under Joystick 1 or Joystick 2, means Success. Please hit "Ok" button to get back to previous menu. (**things to try if you are not getting the right message: try unplugging all other game devices/remotes from your computer [leaving your mouse & keyboard plugged in], try using various USB ports to plug into, try using other TX remotes on FMS, etc...)
Now click on "Mapping / Calibration". The screen that pops up is the HEART & SOUL of configuring FMS to the TX remote.
STEP ONE: Please Make Sure to set the Numbers & Check the boxes the way you see it here. Under "Channel" column the numbers should read "4,2,1,3, 4,2,1,3," TOP going DOWN and all the Boxes under the "Inv" column should be Checked.
STEP TWO: Now click on the "Calibrate" button. The "Next" button will come up.
While the "Next" button is on the screen, you will need to PHYSICALLY move the the two JoySticks (Left & Right) so that your FMS can properly read the commands coming from the TX remote.
START OFF: with the Left joystick, move the Left joystick up, down, and all around. Notice which two graphs go up & down with your Left joystick movement. The answer is Channel 3 & 4, but specifically Left Joystick up/down controls Channel 3 and Right Joystick left/right controls Channel 4. Please return the Left joystick to the South Position, throttle all the way down.
NEXT: with the Right joystick, move the Right joystick up, down, and all around. Notice which two graphs go up & down with your Right joystick movement. The answer is Channel 1 & 2, but specifically Right Joystick up/down controls Channel 2 and Right Joystick left/right controls Channel 1. The right joystick is spring loaded in all directions, so that stick just stays in the middle once you leave it alone.
FINALLY: Not touching any joystick, notice how Channel 3 is all Blue or all White, Because your throttle is all the way down. good indication. Channel 1, 2, and 4 are about Middle, because your JoySticks are in the middle. Please now click the "Next" button and the "Finish" button. DO NOT click any "Cancel" buttons. You will need to exit out of the Menu Boxes and get back to your Runway with Helicopter or Airplane, by clicking on the "Ok" button(s).
Once back at the FMS Runway, you SHOULD load a new Heli/Plane. Follow the above picture, Please click on "Model", then click on "Load", then open up the "Model" Folder and load any Heli or Plane file. (Heli or Plane are listed as .par files)
SHORT-CUT: Please press the "i" button on keyboard to INSTANTLY Reload the same heli / plane that you previously had. Doing this insures that the plane/heli will load up with the new configuration that we just made. (you can also use this trick when you crash, pressing the "i" button is much faster) Now you can finally test your FMS remote control skills. Be sure that both the Left & Right Joysticks are making the Heli / Plane do what YOU think they are SUPPOSE to do. If they are not please go back and double check your configuration, maybe something wasn't set right.
Extra Stuff (up vs. down OR down vs. up):
Some RC plane pilots like to Invert their up & down. I like to fly r/c planes (NON Inverted) with my right joystick WHEN it is set like this: Forward stick = plane goes UP, Backward stick = plane goes DOWN, Left stick = plane banks left, & Right stick = plane banks right. This is how I set up my TX remotes on FMS.
For those who like an Inverted UP vs DOWN, meaning Forward stick = plane goes down & Backward stick = plane goes up. Please go back to Step 4. Under "Mapping / Calibration" you will need to UNCHECK the two boxes under the "Inv" next to Channel 2, because if you remember Right joystick up & down makes channel 2 move. Uncheck those two boxes and go through steps 4 - 6 again, now your right joystick UP / Down is now inverted. **You can apply this method to any of the 1-4 channels on "Mapping / Calibration", so if ALL your Controls are backwards just uncheck ALL the boxes under the Inv column & repeat Step 4-6.
Plane / Heli does not stay on Run way, It takes off when I hit "i":
Please make sure your THROTTLE TRIM is all the way down, NOT IN MIDDLE. Your throttle trim is the Vertical Slider Bar to the LEFT of the ON/OFF button in the middle of TX remote, MAKE SURE that slider is all the way DOWN. The other 3 slider bars should remain in the middle.
Thank you for this detailed info.
Help Please!!!!
I am using the Eagle 50's remote controller. I am trying to get it working with FMS without any success. I tried the intructions from Paul and of course that didn't work. I also tried the "Serial interface" selection and still no response from the remote. I did turn on the remote controller and did connect it to the serial port on my XP box. Any idea on how to set up the Eagle 50 remote to work with FMS?
maybe your serial port is not turned on. you have to go to your bios to enable that.
I will check that, but I am pretty sure it's turn on and on COM 1.
serial port is a thing in the past most comp you buy doesn't come with serial ports now days. I say stick to USB.
Ok, I got the USB cable and was able to do everything according to Paul's instructions except for the "Mapping/Calibrating". No movement at all when I tried the joystick all around. As the result, I can't find any plane from the FMS....sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
This guide was for the USB Flightsimulator. If you plan on using a 'real' Transmitter (i.e. Eagle 50's Transmistter) connected via the Serial port to computer (I suggest purchasing a USB cord instead of the serial) you will need to have the TX Powered On with the green light indicator. Does Window detect a "new hardware" meaning the TX now plugged in & Powered On?
I can not get this to work with vista 64-bit. the screen keeps flashing.
did you download the file? if yes then your PC might have problems. Please try it at another PC/laptop

Reusable 'growlers' grow popular for carrying draft beer
PORTLAND, Maine – Ed McAleer likes his brown ale and IPA from a beer tap. But he doesn't need to be in a pub to get it.
When he has a hankering for draft beer at home, McAleer pours himself a cold one from a growler, a refillable 64-ounce glass jug he buys from Federal Jack's, a brewpub and restaurant in his hometown of Kennebunkport. If he's having friends over, he'll sometimes pick up two or three growlers filled with different types of beer so his guests can sample a variety.
Around the country, hundreds of brewpubs, breweries and even grocery stores are cashing in on the growing popularity of growlers, a term that dates back more than a century, to when people would carry fresh beer in buckets.
The the origin of "growler" is unclear, whether it comes from the sound they emitted as the beer sloshed about or from the growling of a worker's hungry stomach before he enjoyed a beer with lunch.
"I like the ability to get a draft taste instead of a bottled beer. To me it's a fresher taste," said McAleer, 61, who is retired. "I also can't get some of the beers in bottles. And the price is good."
The jug-looking containers are catching on, said Julia Herz of the Brewers Association in Boulder, Colo. Generally speaking, people buy growlers at brewpubs, where they're filled with beer and capped. After they're brought home, the beer will stay good for two to five days once opened.
Consumers like growlers because they're reusable and don't contribute to the waste stream, they're good for sharing with friends, and the beer is less expensive than buying pints at a pub, Herz said. They're also nostalgic.
But it's the taste that keeps people coming back, Herz said on a recent day when she had a growler filled with 400-Pound Monkey, an English-style IPA made by Left Hand Brewing in Longmont, Colo., in her refrigerator at home.
""What's nice about the growler is you pour it into the glass, and that's the proper way to enjoy all that a beer has to offer for flavor and aroma," Herz said.
Growler sales in Maine have taken off since a law went into effect two years ago allowing pubs that make their own beer to sell growlers from behind the bar. Previously, brewpubs had to have a separate brewery store with a separate entrance to sell them.
Federal Jack's has sold growlers for a number of years, because it has a separate store. But since the law went into effect, the owner — who also owns Shipyard Brewing in Portland — has started selling them at his four other brewpubs, in Eliot, South Portland, Bangor and Topsham, where sales have been brisk.
Gritty McDuff's, a Portland-based beer company with three brewpubs, began selling growlers in May. In the first six months, the brewpubs filled about 1,350 growlers. Customers can buy their first beer-filled growler for $15.99 and get refills for $11.99.
"It's popular both with tourists and our regular customers," said Thomas Wilson, Gritty McDuff's marketing director.
In Pittsburgh, Scott Smith started the East End Brewing seven years ago, making small-batch beers that he sold in kegs to bars and restaurants. Now, growler sales make up about half his sales, with customers showing up at his brewery — he doesn't have a brewpub — at limited hours five days a week to get jugs full of Big Hop IPA, Fat Gary Nut Brown Ale and other varieties so they can drink his beer at home without having to buy a keg.
A couple of years ago, Smith was buying growlers in batches of 2,000 and they'd last about three months. He now buys 4,000 at a time, and they last about two months.
"With growlers, you're getting the freshest beer you can get short of putting your head under the tank at the brewery," Smith said.
Customers also like the prices, Smith said. His growler bottles sell for $3 apiece and refills cost $10 to $15 each, so people can enjoy a pint of high-quality draft beer for about $4, he said.
Whole Foods Markets got into the growler act five years ago, when it began selling them at its Bowery Store in Manhattan, said John David Harmon, the specialty coordinator for Whole Foods' South region. The nationwide chain now has growler stations at about three dozen stores where customers can buy to-go draft beer.
Harmon likes to buy a growler now and again for himself — with Mugshot IPA from Jailhouse Brewing in Hampton, Ga., being his latest fill. Customers like that the jugs seem retro in one sense and progressive in another.
"It's seems like a modern, new thing to do," he said. "But really it's old-fashioned."
Herz, with the Brewers Association, expects growler sales to continue growing as new technology develops that will give growlers a better seal to keep the beer fresh longer.
"It's a big part of the brewpub movement," she said.

The Atlanta Braves travel to Comerica Park on Friday to start their first series of the season in an American League stadium. The three-game series with the Detroit Tigers has the potential to boost the Braves and the best record in baseball.
Most importantly, the Braves will miss both Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, but they still have to deal with Miguel Cabrera (.361, two homers, 20 RBIs) and Prince Fielder (.311, five homers, 21 RBIs).
While Detroit's offense is clearly formidable, their bullpen has been their downfall in their 10-10 record. They have so far put up a 4.86 ERA and blown four saves. Even with the Braves' blown save on Wednesday, their bullpen ERA stands at 1.60.
Also noteworthy is the fact that the Braves finally scored all five of their runs on Wednesday without hitting a home run. They also went 3-for-9 with runners in scoring position, though they're still 24th in the bigs with a .223 average in that situation.
Friday, 7:08 on Fox Sports South: Braves LH Paul Maholm (3-1, 1.03 ERA) vs. RH Anibal Sanchez (2-1, 1.75 ERA)
Saturday, 1:05 on FOX: RH Kris Medlen (1-2, 2.16 ERA) vs. RH Rick Porcello (0-2, 11.08 ERA)
Sunday, 8:08 on ESPN: LH Mike Minor (3-1, 1.80 ERA) vs RH Doug Fister (3-0, 2.00 ERA)

Officers towed more than a dozen so-called mobile billboards parked in the West San Fernando Valley on Sunday in an unprecedented crackdown against a controversial industry officials are trying to get off city streets.
A cadre of city traffic enforcement officers also cited 32 offending vehicles with signs in a two-day sweep that included warning, fining, and impounding mobile billboard advertising displays.
The New Year ushered in tougher state and city regulations against ever-present mobile billboards advertising goods and services from car alarm systems to wedding services to massages that have annoyed many residents throughout the city.
"They're not only an eyesore, they're unsafe - you can't see around them," Larry Padovich of West Hills said Sunday of the mobile billboards along Vanowen Street near Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
Owners of the impounded mobile billboards may be subject to misdemeanor penalties that range from $250 to $1,000 and/or up to six months in jail.
Local lawmakers say the signs are among the biggest gripes among voters and have been working to get them off the streets.
The new laws cut through legal red tape that has hampered efforts to outlaw mobile billboards in the past. Critics of the advertising trailers say they are a safety hazard and use up valuable parking spaces.
City Councilman Dennis Zine, a leader of the campaign to rid city streets of advertising trailers, will discuss results of the sweep at a news conference this morning.
"These things have been a nuisance for a long time, and we had to wait for state legislation before doing the actual enforcement," Zine said Sunday. "We're going to continue the enforcement and the impounds, and we want to eradicate them from the streets of Los Angeles."
At least one mobile billboard owner is attempting to circumvent the new laws by taking the wheels off his trailers as part of a conversion he says puts them in compliance.
"They are now sleighs - like Santa's - and are not legally mobile billboards," said Bruce Boyer, owner of Lone Star Security, who also removed the axles.
Boyer said that while some of his mobile billboards were among those towed Sunday, authorities had not touched those converted into sleighs.
Zine said those sleighs, because they do not have wheels, fall into a different legal category and that officials are studying those regulations.
"He's playing cat-and-mouse with us," said Zine. "We don't think we need any special legislation, but we'll see. We will do what is legally permissible."
Boyer, who has been fighting City Hall on the issue, said he will be challenging the city's ordinance.
Other mobile billboard owners are either converting or upgrading their sign trailers to vans that are not covered by the law, which targets non-motorized wheeled vehicles with advertising displays, Boyer said.
"Others are awaiting the city's reaction to our `street-legal' sign-trailers under the likely scenario that the city will impound and hold them regardless of the fact that they are legal," he said.
On Sunday, parking enforcement officers swept down on mobile billboards near the intersection of Vanowen Street and Fallbrook Avenue in West Hills, on Vanowen Street and Canoga Avenue, in Canoga Park, at Wilbur Avenue and Saticoy Street and Saticoy and White Oak Avenue in Reseda, and at Mason Avenue and Roscoe Boulevard in Winnetka and on Variel Street south of Victory Boulevard and on Shoup Avenue north of Ventura Boulevard, in Woodland Hills.
Sgt. Barbara Hartsfield with the city's Department of Transportation traffic enforcement, who was directing the sweep, said the mobile billboards towed on Sunday were just a small number of those that dot many parts of the Valley.
The task force, she said, had originally planned to impound 16 mobile billboards Sunday morning but ran into some snags.
"We didn't have full owner registration information (on some)," Hartsfield said. "We have to have registered owner information on those we're towing. The city is doing this legally with the way the law is written and the way the city attorney has interpreted it.
"We warn them and 24 hours later we return to the location and verify all the information for the warning. And then if it's all intact, we (ticket and) tow."
Officials said residents wishing to report mobile billboards for enforcement action can call the city at (818) 752-5100 or (213) 485-4181.
"It's good that they're impounding these signs," said Chris Knudsen of Chatsworth, who was on Vanowen Street Sunday morning. "It's a great way to start the New Year!"

John M. Johansen
John MacLane Johansen (June 29, 1916 – October 26, 2012)[1] was an architect and a member of the Harvard Five.[2] Johansen took an active role in the modern movement.
Early life[edit]
Johansen was born to two accomplished painters in New York City in 1916. Growing up in an artful family, Johansen said that his childhood was filled with spaces and enclosures and his childhood fantasies are present in many the designs he created during his adult years. He went to Harvard University and was taught the fundamentals of modern architecture by Walter Gropius, the founder of Bauhaus. In 1939, he graduated the Harvard Graduate School of Design with a Masters in Architecture. After World War II, Harvard graduates were highly sought after, and like many of his colleagues, was offered a job right on the spot. He proceeded to follow his career path starting out as a draftsman for Marcel Breuer. He then became a researcher for the National Housing Agency in Washington, D.C., and later joined the architect firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in New York. In 1948, Johansen settled down and established his own practice in New Canaan, Connecticut to accompany four of his other colleagues, Marcel Breuer, Philip Johnson, Landis Gores, and Eliot Noyes. From 1955 to 1960, he was the adjunct professor at Yale School of Architecture, which had happened to become a vigorous center for modernism. At the time of his death, he was married to Ati Gropius Johansen, noted art educator and daughter of Walter Gropius. They lived in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
Johansen's designs stressed function over form and focused on social, urban, and anthropological conditions, and strived to avoid creating overpowering megastructures. He started out exploring the "box," the single style to accompany the modern movement. Not only was the box economical, it was also easy to build, a stabilizer organizationally and aesthetically coherent. This investigation into such a structure led to the creation of Johansen House #1 in 1950, which was included in the Museum of Modern Art exhibit "Built in the U.S.A." In 1955, his second box was built, this time a glass box; the McNiff House. In some of his houses, Johansen utilized Palladian elements such as the grotto, the classic cross plan, and the Palladian prototype of the central pavilion linked by low bridges to flanking pavilions. The Palladian prototype is most noticeably present in Villa Ponte, or the Warner House, built in 1957 in New Canaan, Connecticut. In 1969 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member and became a full Academician in 1994.
Some other noteworthy houses include the Goodyear House (1955), an early example of the Palladian style employed by Johansen;[3] the Bridge House (1957); the Telephone Pole House (1968) made from 104 40 foot poles that brace the house into the side of a steep ravine; The Labyrinth House (1966) that has no windows but instead glass enclosures between one wall and another; and the Plastic Tent House (1975) was made of translucent plastic.
He was also known for his modern commercial buildings. The Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore (1967) was characterized as "a highly sculptural centerpiece among more reserved office buildings." It was the beginning of a series of buildings that stressed and embraced the functional parts of the buildings, allowing them to emerge, while being increasingly identified and emphasized. The Robert H. Goddard Library is one of Johansen's experiments once again. He said that while creating this structure, "I moved toward a more articulated design by emphasizing the distinction between the ponderous structural frame and other elements that appear to be less firmly attached conceivably detachable or interchangeable parts."
Among his best known buildings are the Goddard Library at Clark University (1969), and the Mummers Theater in Oklahoma City (1970), an aggregation of fragmented units connected by walkways and tubes, which received an AIA award in 1972.[2][4][5][6]
The Mechanic Theater in Baltimore, unused since 2004 and deemed unsuitable for a theater, saw demolition activities commence in 2014. The building had been considered for landmark status and adaptive reuse, while its owners proposed to redevelop the site with residential and retail development.[7][8] Celebrated by some and criticized by others for its brutalist architecture, the building was listed first on VirtualTourist's 2009 list of the "World's Top Ten Ugliest Buildings".[9] Demolition was proposed in 2012, delayed, and ultimately commenced in September 2014.[10]
The Mummers Theater (more recently called Stage Center) in Oklahoma City was also demolished in 2014. Years of maintenance costs and a June 2010 flood led to its closure and consideration of alternative uses or demolition.[11] In 2013 its owners declined a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.[12] In July 2013 it was reported that the building would be sold, demolished, and replaced by a new 20 story tower;[13] on January 16, 2014, the city's Downtown Design Review Committee voted 3–2 to approve demolition and make way for a new headquarters building for OGE Energy Corp. and a second building.[14] Demolotion went ahead in July and was completed by October 2014.[15]

There is a beautiful atmosphere that is around the Humboldt State area that encompasses the campus. The trees here bring life to the community. The best thing in the world is a tree.

There's something about this school, this town, this area that draws people to it. It's infectious really. Even though many may leave, they are always reconnected in some way. Whether you're driving in L.A. traffic and someone flashes you their Arcata library card, or in some random city, people see you are from Humboldt and feel as if they know you. There's a connection where all lines converge, and Humboldt is at its heart.

Humboldt State University is challenging for many reasons. For one, we have wonderful professors who care about their students and make a conscious effort to know and remember our names. For two, I go to HSU because I want to become a teacher. If it weren't for this University, I would not be the person that I am today.
"Growth"Erica Askew Student, 2013
While at Humboldt I have grown so much as a person and learned so much about myself and what I want to do in life. Humboldt gives you the opportunity to be in situations that challenge you to grow.

"Cheese"David Joseph "The Hawk" Orluck Student, 2013
Cheese is Humboldt State. They are both good. HSU colors are yellow and green just like American and Blue Cheese. Some consider HSU holy like Swiss cheese. There are many different kinds of students and people here at HSU; just like there are many different kinds of cheeses. Cheese is such a good food, why would you have anything else? Same goes for HSU, HSU is such a good school, why would you go anywhere else? I love cheese hence, I love HSU... besides all the good words were already used. :)
"Stairs"Jacob Student
There are lots of them!
"Family"Summer McCullough Student, 2015
I chose family because everyone at HSU acts as one. Even though none of us really know each other, we treat one another with respect, love, trust, and honesty just like a family would.
"Community"Toby Walker Staff
HSU cultivates a sense of community unseen at other universities. Where else are you going to run into your professor at the Farmer's Market, while listening to music students exhibit their jazz prowess? Only at HSU in Arcata.
"Magic"Krista Acosta Student, 2012
Because this university allows you to be your own person, grow with other individuals that are truly unique...create a lifetime of memories in such a magical place..there is no other university like Humboldt State! Now here in LA, when I see a Humboldt bumper sticker or see someone wearing a sweatshirt I stop and there is an instant connection! A smile and a bond that is undescribable due to the fact that only if you've lived and been in this county and school you are able to undersand.
"Renewal"Chris "Philly" Bryan Student, 2012
I chose this word b/c as a person in their 30's, my time at HSU "Renewed" my path in life and gave me a greater purpose, a greater stride in my path of life that I didnt have before. My development at Humboldt State allowed me to acheive confidence to trust my atonomy--which I didnt have before because I didnt have the support from my family until they realized that I was on my way to completing a Bachelors Degree!!! Thanks so much Craig Riordan!! REC4LIFE:)!
"Launch"Cathryn Halvorson Rudolph Alumni, 1980
Go forward, upward, discover and become what we are meant to be. Humboldt was a beginning of life as my own person. It propelled me into the world, ready for anything. It brought me love and family and pride and joy. We are a true Humboldt family. All in. Shoot the moon.
"Maverick"Morgan Barker Alumni, 2002, 2003
Humboldt is a place where maverick thought is fostered - facilitating the creation of decision makers who can promote great change - esp. in environmental matters!

THE Our Altrincham group wants to hear from volunteers to help clear up the town after the ASICS Greater Manchester Marathon.
It is putting together a team to clean up the race route – and cheer on the runners.
Last year, Altrincham Town Centre Partnership organised entertainment and as a result of their combined efforts, Altrincham won the 'best community' award and a £500 prize, as voted for by the runners themselves.
Half the prize money was invested in 2,000 daffodil bulbs, currently flowering along Oakfield Road between the leisure centre and ATS.
They were planted by residents, Altrincham Air Cadets and Trafford Housing Trust's Youth Team.
The marathon is on April 6 and the Altrincham team will be cleaning up the race route along with the Timperley Tidiers and Sale Wombles.
They will be covering the town centre and Stockport Road as far as the Hare and Hounds pub from 9.45am until 1.30pm.
This event is for adult litter pickers and supervised children aged 10 and over. Volunteers must be able to attend a pre-event briefing at Kings Court Café at 7pm on April 3.

Our Daily Correspondent
The Whys and WhereforesBy Sadie Stein
I remember the moment clearly: it was a late winter afternoon, and I was sitting on the radiator in my bedroom, reading Michelle Phillips's memoir California Dreamin instead of doing my ninth-grade English homework. The author described moving into the mansion where the 1930s movie star Jeanette MacDonald had once lived. The Mamas and the Papas—then at the height of their fame—gutted the place, in the process ripping out the built-in wardrobes, whose enormous drawers had been designed to hold entire gowns, laid flat. And I made the conscious decision not to tell my grandmother about it. I thought it would distress her.
Back when the world was simpler and videotapes were physical objects, my grandmother and I used to set aside an afternoon when we'd settle ourselves on the couch with the milk shakes she made from homemade ice cream and gorge on Jeanette MacDonald–Nelson Eddy films. Why my grandparents had them all on cassette I don't know; maybe my grandpa had picked up the lot at a tag sale. Those operettas became the soundtrack to my summers; to this day, I can't hear the "Indian Love Call" without a Proustian rush of nostalgia. Of course, since one never hears the "Indian Love Call," said rush has yet to happen.
There was a time when everyone knew MacDonald and Eddy. Films like Rose-Marie and Maytime made the handsome singers household names, and made hits of their scores. The films were corny and soapy, and even eighty years ago the music was nostalgic. Eddy's acting—especially in their early collaborations—was wooden. (Check out the clinch in Naughty Marietta for proof.) But my grandmother loved them when she was a little girl, and at the same age, I adored them. A few plot synopses will illustrate why.

Here he tells us about what happened when the Queen made her speech in Parliament.
It's the annual State of Parliament, an event filled with special ceremonies and lots of fancy clothes.
Check out the television news on Wednesday night to see robes, swords and lots and lots of bowing.
Who writes the speech?
Basically the Queen goes to Parliament to tell the country's politicians what they'll be working on in the next 12 months - not surprisingly it's called the Queen's Speech.
The thing is, the Queen herself has nothing to do with writing it.
That's done by Prime Minister Tony Blair and his team, and all Her Majesty does is read it out!
New laws
This year Mr Blair has come up with more than 20 new laws he wants to see passed.
And some of them affect you!
For instance, he wants people to come up with ideas of stopping traffic jams and car chaos near schools.
Mums and dads who can afford it might have to pay for you to catch the school bus.
Protecting children
And if one day you're planning to go to university, you might end up having to pay big fees depending on what subject you want to study.
But perhaps the most important plans for kids are a set of ideas for protecting children.
They include a special register of every child and a children's commissioner to fight for the rights of kids in England (they already have this in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Now all Mr Blair has to do is get all his plans agreed by the politicians.
Lots of big arguments lie ahead - I'll let you know what happens.

LINCOLN, Neb. - As she flung off the uneven bars for a third time, Utah junior Dominque D'Oliveira wondered if she had suddenly forgotten how to do gymnastics.
One minute she was on the bars, performing a routine giant swing during warmups, the next she was hurtling through the air.
"I changed my grips and I still fell, I didn't know what was going on," she said.
Utah coach Greg Marsden thought he did, believing D'Oliveira simply wasn't ready to compete that day.
"After the third time I just told her to take her grips off," he said. "She was so spooked, if she kept doing it, I thought she was just going to get hurt."
It wasn't until after several other Utah gymnasts, followed by some of Nebraska's, also peeled off that the coaches wondered what was wrong. Nebraska even changed the bars, but that didn't work.
Finally, it was discovered the chalk at the bars was from the men's gym. The men use a mixture of sugar water to dampen the chalk, which apparently had gotten into the batch, making it slick enough to give the women trouble.
Once it was changed, the gymnasts stayed on, but the meet was over for D'Oliveira even before it started. She was replaced by Kristen Riffanacht, who scored a 9.275.
"I was so relieved to find out it wasn't me that something was wrong with," D'Oliveira said. "But I was so flustered, I was kind of glad I didn't have to compete."
Season bests
Riffanacht rebounded from her bar performance to score a 9.85 on the balance beam. Ashley Postell scored a season best 9.95 on the balance beam, and the freshman won the all-around with a 39.6, her best score in the all-around since earning a 39.625 in the season opener against UCLA.
"I was happy, but it was tough losing the meet," Postell said. "At least we fought through to the end."
Clinching it
Needing a 9.875 to beat Utah, the Cornhuskers wouldn't have wanted anyone but Richelle Simpson to finish the meet. The senior is the 2003 national all-around and floor champion. She was granted a medical hardship year by the NCAA for 2004 after her season was cut short with a knee injury.
"I try not to keep up with the scores, it drives me crazy," Nebraska coach Dan Kendig said. "But she is the one I would want to compete last. She was great at the NCAA Championships the last time she competed, and she was great today."

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's election watchdog has received almost 3,000 formal complaints about the country's parliamentary poll and is mulling extending a Tuesday deadline for submitting grievances because many more are expected.
Ahmad Zia Rafat, one of five commissioners on the U.N.-backed Electoral Complaints Commission, told Reuters the body was considering giving Afghans two more days to report their concerns and expected thousands more if it did.
"We expect the complaints would double or even triple in coming days," he said. The current deadline is 4 p.m. (1130 GMT) on Tuesday.
"The complaints are ranging from irregularities during the election, bad quality of ink, interference of government provincial officials and influential figures," he said.
Some four hours before that cut-off point, 2,988 written complaints had been received. More than 1,600 were made during campaigning and 1,388 since voting on Saturday.
Another 1,700 verbal grievances had been made, which would not trigger formal investigations but could contribute to a final assessment of whether the election was credible.
"We cannot say the telephone complaints are invalid, as they can give us a broad picture of what went on," Rafat said in a telephone interview.
Afghan and foreign officials have praised election officials for holding a vote when insurgent violence is at record levels and after the Taliban threatened to disrupt the poll.
At least 17 people died in attacks across the country, and hundreds of polling stations had to be closed over security fears, but there were no major incidents in Afghanistan's big cities on the scale that marred last year's presidential poll.
Since the voting finished however, concern has been mounting about voter turnout and fraud, intimidation and other unfair practices across the country.
Both President Hamid Karzai and the top U.N. diplomat in Afghanistan, Staffan de Mistura, have said it is too early to describe the poll as a success.

Circadian rhythms are found in almost all organisms from cyanobacteria to humans, where most behavioral and physiological processes occur over a period of approximately 24 h in tandem with the day/night cycles. In general, these rhythmic processes are under regulation of circadian clocks. The role of circadian clocks in regulating metabolism and consequently cellular and metabolic homeostasis is an intensively investigated area of research. However, the links between circadian clocks and aging are correlative and only recently being investigated. A physiological decline in most processes is associated with advancing age, and occurs at the onset of maturity and in some instances is the result of accumulation of cellular damage beyond a critical level. A fully functional circadian clock would be vital to timing events in general metabolism, thus contributing to metabolic health and to ensure an increased "health-span" during the process of aging. Here, we present recent evidence of links between clocks, cellular metabolism, aging and oxidative stress (one of the causative factors of aging). In the light of these data, we arrive at conceptual generalizations of this relationship across the spectrum of model organisms from fruit flies to mammals.
Circadian rhythms are observed in a wide variety of biological, physiological and metabolic processes in most organisms. These rhythmic cycles are governed by an endogenous circadian clock. Thus, a crucial function of the endogenous circadian system would be to anticipate and adapt to environmental changes in light, temperature, food and even mate availability, and organize behavior and physiology to these changing situations. In addition, the circadian system plays a regulatory role by the temporal coordination of physiological, cellular and molecular processes such that synergistic processes are timed to coincide, whereas processes that are conflicting are temporally separated. There is increasing evidence that a smoothly running endogenous clock is crucial for energy balance in organisms from cyanobacteria to mammals [
Circadian rhythms have been described in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and many molecular features associated with the circadian clock are evolutionarily conserved [
In mammals, the circadian clock resides in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is recognized as being the master clock. The clock network also exists in almost all peripheral tissues, including liver, heart, kidney and blood cells [
The control of circadian rhythms is driven by the transcriptional-translational feedback loops that ensure homeostasis; any dysfunctions in such rhythms have been implicated in serious pathologies such as sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases, depression, cancer, response to oxidative stress and accelerated aging [
A central feature in energy homeostasis is the temporal coordination of metabolism. Circadian clocks in fruit flies help coordinate rhythmic feeding behavior and regulate energy consumption and metabolism. Food consumption in
A number of experimental evidences have demonstrated a strong link between metabolism and circadian rhythms and that circadian clocks control the levels of many cellular and circulating metabolites. Despite this, the coupling between metabolism and the circadian clock is complex with more evidence accumulating in favor of a dynamic feed-back loop, wherein the rhythm impacts the metabolic activity and metabolism feeds back to impinge upon the rhythm [
Aging is characterized by decrements in maximum function and accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations, which are best observed in organs such as the brain that contain post-mitotic cells. Oxygen radicals are increasingly considered responsible for part of these aging changes. Comparative studies of animals with different aging rates have shown that the rate of mitochondrial oxygen radical generation is directly related to the steady-state level of oxidative damage to mitochondria and inversely correlated with maximum longevity in higher vertebrates. These two traits link oxidative stress with aging. Many of the detrimental changes associated with aging such as decline in neurotransmitters, reduced motor and sensory systems, fragmented sleep, memory and learning, a gradual decline in general metabolism are linked to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria [
The mammalian CLOCK and BMAL1 proteins have been implicated to play a role in cell cycle control. Embryonic fibroblasts isolated from
The concept that circadian clocks located in the SCN could actually regulate the process of aging is not new [
The mitochondrion is the seat of cellular respiration, energy generation and is also crucial for cellular metabolism. Carrier molecules such as ATP and NAD+ are used in oxidation reduction reactions that are critical for maintenance of energy balance. NAD+ is derived from niacin and operates as a coenzyme for multiple cellular dehydrogenases, and its subsequent reduction to NADH precedes its subsequent oxidation by the respiratory chain. Hence, the role of NAD+ as a hydrogen carrier is vital for the production and maintenance of energy stores. Importantly, nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferase-1 (Nmnat1), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of NAD+, protects against axonal degeneration in Wallerian degeneration slow mice (Wlds). These mice have a spontaneous mutation that increases activation of the Nmnat1 protein resulting in elevated NAD+ levels and consequent silent information regulator1 (Sirt1)- dependent protection against axonal injury [
An important regulator that has recently attracted major attention in the field of aging research is the SIR2 (Silent Information Regulator 2) protein family, now known as "sirtuins" [
Liver specific deletion of
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved in adaptive response to energy deficit. Activation of AMPK induces PGC-1α. AMPK is involved in PGC-1α autoregulation; direct phosphorylation by AMPK promotes PGC-1α dependent induction at the PGC-1α promoter [
AMPK is also closely tied to clock function, particularly via its interactions with SIRT1 [
Target of rapamycin (TOR) is a nutrient sensing kinase that promotes cell growth in conditions of nutrient abundance [
Activity of PGC-1α is regulated through inhibitory acetylation by GCN5 [
The serine threonine kinase AKT is a key component of the insulin signaling pathway whose downstream targets include regulators of metabolism, the stress response and apoptosis [
The nutrient sensitive kinase GSK3β (Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta) targets PGC-1α for nuclear proteasomal degradation [
Given the important role of circadian rhythms in various biological functions, cues from metabolic and nutrient status may influence biological clocks to modulate aging and disease processes. Studies in mammals have shown that rapamycin affects light entrainment of the mammalian central clock in the SCN in a phase dependent manner [
There are data available both from insects as well as vertebrate animal models that metabolic hormonal signaling pathways play a role in the circadian timekeeping mechanisms and in managing biological rhythms, which eventually may impact aging. Experimental evidences on the involvement of hormonal machinery in the control of circadian rhythms have been reported from several insects. It is supposed that a number of insect hormones—juvenile hormones (JHs), ecdysteroids and some neurohormones—control important biological rhythms in the insect body [
Other candidates among the insect hormones that could play a role in the circadian rhythmicity are adipokinetic hormones (AKHs). These hormones are synthesized and released by the endocrine gland
A range of information demonstrating the role of AKH in a control of circadian rhythms was obtained in

The quest for new and effective means to delay aging or increase health span during the process of aging and thus delay the onset of aging associated diseases now has a new player in the arena—the circadian clocks.

A schematic representation of the role of clocks in cellular tasks resulting from predictive/reactive synchrony or desynchrony impacting cellular homeostasis and consequently affecting healthy aging. Light-dark cycles as well as nutrition play an important role as zeitgebers (time-givers) resulting in synchronous functioning of the clock and clock controlled genes (CCGs) which regulate metabolism by coordinating anabolic and catabolic reactions, repair functions, combating/avoiding unfavorable stress situations as well as gating specific physiological, cellular and molecular events in a temporal fashion to achieve cellular metabolic homeostasis. Situations which impact the clock, such as shift-work, disturbance in the nutritional cues of even mutations in certain clock genes result in circadian desynchrony impairing the organisms ability to predict/react to changing demands of physiology which unbalances cellular homeostasis by metabolic dysregulation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, affecting repair mechanisms leading to damage accumulation and apoptosis. This results in accelerated aging and propensity for age-related pathologies.
A representation of SIRT1- mediated regulation of the circadian clock and metabolism impacting aging. SIRT1 interacts with CLOCK, which heterodimerizes with BMAL1. BMAL1 is deacetylated by SIRT1 in a circadian manner and promotes expression of clock genes. Additionally, SIRT1 interacts with and deacetylates PER2 (in mammals) which heterodimerizes with CRY proteins to inhibit CLOCK-BMAL1 function and promotes its degradation. NAD+ from AMPK and NAMPT is a key regulator for SIRT1 function. Synchronous expression of clock genes results in regulation of clock controlled genes (CCGs) which impact metabolism and hence aging.
Regulation of PGC-1α—this schematic represents the relationship between nutrition, circadian clock and other regulatory factors involved in post-translational modification of PGC-1α and its consequent impact on metabolic genes and aging. Nutritional availability impacts the circadian clock - when energy is replete, TOR results in transcriptional regulation of PGC-1α through transcription factor YY1 (see text for details). The serine threonine kinase AKT (a key component of insulin signaling pathway) has an inhibitory effect (negative regulator) on PGC-1α. In energy deficient situations, AMPK has an inhibitory effect on TOR thus inducing PGC-1α and increased mitochondrial biogenesis. SIRT1 has a stimulatory deacetylation effect on PGC-1α under conditions of fasting and oxidative stress and helps accumulate it in the nucleus. Both TOR and AKT feed-back on the circadian clock and regulate it as a pacemaker. The nutrient sensitive kinase GSK3β targets PGC-1α for proteasomal mediated degradation and is a function of oxidative stress response. PGC-1α by its transcriptional activity plays an important role in the expression and activity of many metabolic genes which impact longevity.

Alternative Remedies For Anxiety Reduction
James Hunt
If you have problems with anxiety, you're not alone. Millions of men, women, young adults and even children suffer from the same problem. Oftentimes, these people suffer in silence because they're ashamed to admit how bad their anxiety gets. What they don't know is that there are many treatments available to help reduce, eliminate and cope with anxiety.
There are a few prescription drugs available for the treatment of anxiety but before you go that route, you need to address the problem. Perhaps your anxiety is caused from a past childhood incident that needs resolving or from a great fear that weighs heavily on your mind from day to day. If this is the cause, a psychologist would be in order to help you uncover what is truly stressing you out. Talking to a psychologist on a weekly basis can greatly reduce your stress levels because they help you to uncover your problems and work them out before they begin to worry you. So, it's important that you take this first step of talking to someone before you ask your doctor for prescription drugs.
There are also alternative remedies for anxiety reduction that you might want to check out as well. Herbs are used in liquid and pill form to help soothe and relax your troubles away. These will only help reduce the severity of an anxiety attack, not eliminate them from happening again. You can also learn breathing mechanisms and calming mantras to chat again and again when you feel yourself getting anxious or upset. The best place to learn these things are with a psychologist that has been trained in this area.
Lastly, you can read up on anxiety through books or articles on the internet or in the library. It's a good idea to learn everything there is to know about this problem that has been interfering in your life. The more you learn, the easier it will be to eradicate it. So, read up and don't let it interfere with your happiness any longer.
