How does one define the perfect or "best job"? Is it how much money you're paid, the type of benefits provided, or maybe how long you're able to browse the Internet? Everyone has his or her own opinion on the matter, but if you want to know the general consensus, the answer is "Online Employee", and we couldn't agree more.
Much like studies have shown, a position in an "online" field wields a lot of satisfaction. If you need convincing, just take a look at the Zirtual headquarters come 5pm. Are you finishing off your work day with a cupcake and a beer?
What may look like a regular office at first glance is actually something much much more: the freedom to work without restrictions. Because Chelsea (shown above) works for Zirtual, an online employer, she has the opportunity to work wherever she has Internet access and a computer. This means taking meetings on a plane, client emails on the beach, or whatever else you can imagine.
Personal Growth
As much as an online employee sounds like the "dream" position, it has its PROS and CONS just like any other job. A big obstacle most have when first starting their work-from-home gig is time management. You no longer have the robotic duties of a 9-5er. Everyday is different, whether it be answering calls from Starbucks or answering emails from your bed. It's now up to you to manage how and when you complete your daily tasks. Companies like Harvest have developed products around making time tracking simple and fast, allowing for a new generation of worker to break free from the traditional timecards.
The key to your success lies in you. And I'm sure we can all agree that nothing in this world feels better than when you accomplish something all on your own. So if you're ready to break out of that 6×6 cubicle and start living well "outside the box", it might be time for you to apply as a Zirtual Assistant. Wouldn't hurt to be part of the "Best Jobs in America" club, would it?

Sometimes you've just got to step outside and scream "YEAH LIFE" at the top of your lungs. Why?…well WHY NOT? Do it. Don't sit there and believe me that it feels good, try it for yourself.
Ok, so now that you are high on life, you can read on.
Starting something TODAY is so much better than starting something TOMORROW. Whether it is something you want to do, or something you don't necessarily want to do, but need to do, start today. Whether it is switching from a chocolate bar to a healthier snack, organizing the kitchen, going for a run, or having a conversation you've been putting off, TODAY is a good day to start. If you start today you'll have gratification today, a weight will be lifted off your shoulders and perhaps you'll even sleep better.
Today (after putting it off for a few days) I commuted to work on my bike!
My bike was ready to go on Sunday, but I kept putting off getting on it a riding to work. "I need to do a practice run", "what if I get really sweaty, I can't carry everything I need to go to the shower at my gym near work", blah blah blah. Really…it was just all the unknown stuff that kept holding me back. At some point you just have to plan it and DO IT. So this morning, even though it was raining lightly, I biked to work, because tomorrow isn't soon enough. And what better way to learn the unknown than to get out there and give it a shot? What could possibly go wrong? There were some minor interesting moments when pedestrians decided to cross at a red light and I had to slam the breaks, a moment when I couldn't figure out where the bike path was redirected, and a few other things that I can't remember anymore. Overall, I feel awesome because I finally got out there and did it. I know what to expect now and each time will be easier. It felt SO good! …YEAH LIFE.
hahaha – that's my "biking" pose.
What are you putting off? Start TODAY and feel amazing sooner

Planning applications
Details of how to submit an application can be found on the Making an application webpage
When an application has been received by us, various checks will be carried out to ensure that all information required to process the application has been received.
If further information is required, the application will be made invalid and further information will be requested from the applicant/agent, e.g. an additional fee or additional plans.
Once an application has been made valid it is assigned to a Planning Officer. That Officer will then carry out a site inspection of the application site.
We will carry out consultation on the application. This involves consulting the Parish/Town Council, the Highway Authority, affected neighbours and any other relevant party e.g. if the proposal is within a Flood Area, we will consult the Environment Agency.
All parties can view all representations made online. Comments from neighbours will also be available although some private details including signatures, telephone numbers and email addresses are redacted and not available for viewing online. Please note that following a decision of the Information Commissioner, names and addresses will be revealed online.
Once the Planning Officer has received the relevant comments from consultees, he/she will recommend either refusal or approval of the application.
The majority of Planning Applications (approx 90%) are determined under Delegated Powers.
This means that once a Planning Officer has made his/her recommendation, the application is passed to other senior Officers including the Development Control Manager or the Head of Planning and Environmental Health to determine the application under delegated powers
Once this has been done, the agent or applicant and those who have made a representation will be notified of this decision.
However, any Member of the Council may request, under a 'call-in' procedure, that an application is decided instead by the Planning Committee if they consider there to be exceptional circumstances surrounding it.
In the event of an application being referred to the Committee, there is the opportunity for people to put their views directly to the Committee.
The Planning Officer will then make a recommendation to the Planning Committee and they will determine the application.
Once a decision has been made, a decision notice will be issued to the relevant parties.
Local planning authorities are required to deal with an application within prescribed time periods. The Council aims to deal with most applications within the statutory 8 week time period, and 13 weeks for major applications.
You can track the progress of a planning application online - for further details go to the Viewing applications webpage
Householder Enquiry Form
If you are proposing householder development e.g. the erection of extensions, garages, fences, etc, you can complete a householder enquiry form and return to us.
This is currently a service we offer free of charge therefore response times can not be guaranteed and standard planning applications will take priority.
Guidance on whether you may or may not need planning permission can be found on the Do I need to make an application? webpage
Other Information on Planning Applications
Site Plans
Most planning applications require a location plan and a site plan (also known as a block plan), to be submitted as supporting documents. You can Buy a Plan online to support your application on the Planning Portal website.
Design and Access Statements
A Design and Access Statement is now required to be submitted with most Planning Applications. A guidance document can be found by clicking on the link. Further guidance on design and access statements can be found on the planning portal website.

Spin Your Own Debian with Live Studio
In the tradition of Nimblex and SUSE Studio comes an alternative for those who prefer Debian. Debian Live Studio allows users to build their own Debian Live system with just a few mouse clicks.
Debian developer, Chris Lamb, has created a web-based service to allow users to build their own customized live operating systems. After selecting your preferred options, the server builds and readies your image. Users can select from CD, DVD, USB, or Netboot images. Debian Live Studio requires registration, but is free of cost to use and consists of 100% free software.
The service is still new and more features are planned, but it is usable now. In fact, Lamb would welcome feedback. In addition, he's looking for a more permanent hosting solution for his service. Contact Lamb via email at debian-live at lists.debian.org. See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information on that.
Susan Linton is a Linux writer and the owner of tuxmachines.org.

It would be nice to be able to select packages to add to the image.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

This is a budget hotel and as such you can't expect very much out of it. You may request for a change of room if upon checking in you don't like the smell of the room as the one we were allocated had some cigarettes stench.
The breakfast had only ham, some jam and bread but since it comes with the price you've paid for the stay, you can't complain.
It is about 8 mins walk from Ximen MRT Station, you have to walk from Exit No. 6 of Ximen MRT station, you will then see a Tamago restaurant or Tama something restaurant, walk towards Tama restaurant and walk along the road beside the tama restaurant building, all the way straight, when you see a theatre building, that's where the hotel is at.
Can someone please tell me how to get to the King Shi Hotel from the Taoyuan Airport? I would like to know which bus to take and where to get off.
I'm interested in taking glamour shots in taiwan...has anyone heard of White Ladder? Is this a good place?
Thanks in Advance! ^^
Fastest way to King Shi is by GuoGuang bus to Taipei Train Station and then a cab to the Hotel - Bus-NTD125 Cab NTD100/-

LUBBOCK, Okla. (May 14, 2013) – Mallory Koschany was 3-for-3 with four runs driven in and Katera Eltsosie continued her reign against No.23 Friends University (Kan.), as No.2 Lubbock Christian University moved into the championship game of the Lubbock Christian Bracket of the NAIA Softball National Championship Opening Round with a 8-0 run-rule victory in five innings Tuesday afternoon at sunny PlainsCapital Park.
All eight runs came in the bottom of the second inning and were produced off six hits, including a pair of deep balls. Mallory Koschany, who produced a triple to right-centerfield in her first at-bat, hit another deep hit to right-centerfield and this one was a couple feet further to inch over the fence for the team's first grand slam of the season. It provided LCU a 5-0 lead, as LCU's opening run was off a RBI-double to left-centerfield by Ashton Bell. Latainna Eltsosie followed three batters later with a three-run home run over the left field fence for her 12th homer of the season.
Katera Eltsosie, who pitched seven scoreless innings against Friends in a 7-0 win Feb.15, went five scoreless innings for a complete game victory (28-4). She struck out four and allowed four hits. Koschany was a double shy of the cycle and her home run was her third of the season. She has two of her three home runs on the season against Friends.
The outcome for Friends was an unlikely one, as they fall to 43-7 on the season. They suffered their first loss of more than a one-run deficit since Mar.8, ending a stretch of 39 games. The loss was their first run-rule loss of the season and the second time they have been shutout. Both shutout losses (last was on Feb.15) have come against Katera Eltsosie and the Lady Chaps. Friends starting pitcher Kelsey Garner suffered her first loss of the season (25-1), allowing eight runs in two innings pitched off seven hits.
LCU, improving to 57-7 on the season, moves a win away from a trip to Columbus, Ga. and the final site of the NAIA Softball National Championship. They will play at 1 p.m. Wednesday and their opponent would have to defeat the Lady Chaps twice to advance. LCU, on a 16-game win streak, only has to win once.

It's All About You
The City of Lewes is tied directly to the sea and it's almost as old. In the early 1600's, Dutch settlers looked for new lands to cultivate, new waters to fish and a new place to call home. What happened in the ensuing decades would become the tales of folklore and the stuff of legends. Now, centuries later, we realize it was history in the making and the making of a small but vital and vibrant seaside town whose present day allure, though modern, eclectic and inspired is tied as much to the ways of the sea as it's always been. The town's people- year round residents and frequent visitors- wouldn't have it any other way.
Here is comes! Another Funn Friday and the FIRST EVER Lewes Oktoberfest!. There'll be an Oompah Band, Bavarian Dancers, commemorative beer steins, a beer garden, German food specials, craft specials and more! It all happens Friday, September 21st @ 10a. For more info call the Lewes Chamber of Commerce at 302.645.8073.

ISU's Iowa Beef Center staff will hold bull selection clinics prior to three bull sales the Iowa Cattlemen's Association will hold in Bloomfield, Dunlap and Tama this spring. These sales will feature spring and fall bulls that have been through the Bull Evaluation Program that ICA has conducted for 28 years.
"Bulls that go through our 112-day test are evaluated for growth, carcass traits, yearling weight, disposition and scrotal circumference," says Kellie Carolan, ICA seedstock manager. The bulls at each sale are some of the breed's best pedigrees for calving ease, performance and carcass merit, she says.
The bull selection clinics will begin two hours before each sale. IBC staff will break down the process of bull selection into simple steps and assist those attending with interpreting the EPD numbers in the catalog. "We can help you evaluate your cow herd and determine the economically relevant traits that you want to emphasize." Schwab says. There will be time to visually appraise the bulls, too.
Dates, times and locations of the clinics are: March 18, 4:30 p.m., Bloomfield Auction Market, Bloomfield; March 22, 4:30 p.m., Dunlap Livestock Auction, Dunlap; and May 3, 4 p.m. Tama Livestock Auction, Tama (open heifers that have also been evaluated will also be on this sale).
To see a listing of bulls that will be offered at each of the 2013 sales, go to www.iacattlemen.org, and under the ICA Programs tab you will find the Bull and Heifer Evaluation program. Click on that to see the catalog and available videos of the bulls.
For more information on the bull clinics, contact your ISU beef specialist or Kellie Carolan at ICA, (515) 296-2266. Also call Carolan for specific questions about the bull sales.
About the Iowa Cattlemen's Association: The Iowa Cattlemen's Association represents 9,600 beef-producing families and associated companies dedicated to the future of Iowa's beef industry. ICA's mission is "Grow Iowa's beef business through advocacy, leadership and education."

The proposals from researchers in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Texas have a total value of approximately $12 million. The ground-based studies will work to better understand and mitigate risk of damage to the heart and central nervous system from cosmic rays. The studies also will assess cancer risks and how genetics affect space radiation risks. "These studies will pave the way for new approaches to better prepare astronauts for living in space," said Francis A. Cucinotta, chief scientist for the Human Research Program Space Radiation Program Element at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. "The proposals will examine biological changes caused by unavoidable exposure to cosmic rays and their relation to heart, neuronal and cancer risks." The Human Research Program provides knowledge and technologies to improve astronaut health during space exploration and identifies possible countermeasures for known problems. The program quantifies crew health and performance risks during spaceflight and develops strategies that mission planners and system developers can use to monitor and mitigate health risks.

October 21, 2010 How the Republicans Can Win in November--and Still Lose the Republic
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Likewise, all that is necessary for America to sink further into the morass of economic stagnation, moral decay, and heavy-handed federal control is for congressional Republicans to mistake their impending victory in the fall elections for a vote of confidence.
The message of the American people in primary elections from Alaska to Kentucky and from Delaware to Utah has not been, "We want the same old Republican ideas." Quite the contrary, most Americans (including a majority of Republican voters) have made it abundantly clear that they have no use for a "third Bush term." Even so, Americans also intuitively understand that, like it or not, if the Democrats continue to control both Congress and the White House, the America that they have known and cherished-the America of Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, of Pilgrims and pioneers, of Jefferson, Lincoln, and Reagan, of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution-will vanish forever. The Republicans, of course, recognize this dynamic and are eagerly waiting in the wings to re-ensconce themselves in powerful chairmanships and, one cannot help but speculate, to reestablish themselves as the dispensers of federal beneficence in the form of government contracts, earmarks, and entitlement spending. In other words, if history is a guide, it is reasonable to expect the Republican to abandon their rhetoric about limited government, lower taxes, and traditional values and revert back to business as usual as soon as the election is in hand. But business as usual in Washington for the better part of eight decades has included the piecemeal dismantling of the Constitution-or at least of those parts of the Constitution that impose meaningful limitations on the power of the federal government. The mandate in the Democrats' healthcare law requiring every American to purchase health insurance-or face a hefty fine-is only the newest accretion of a long train of abuses and usurpations of Congress's legitimate authority. We should not then, perhaps, be surprised that the Republican Party, in its "Pledge to America," fails to signal a categorical departure from its own history of disregarding constitutional limits and expanding entitlement spending. Certainly, the Pledge, if followed, represents a step away from the brink-a return to fiscal discipline, self-restraint, and free market solutions. Unfortunately, these steps, while laudable, are insufficient to halt America's long-term slide into a debilitating form of socialism. Missing from the Republican plan is a clearly articulated vision for the future of America. Americans are not in the mood for business as usual; they (overwhelmingly) know the country is off course and want someone to lead them back to prosperity, and dignity, and greatness. And if the Republicans hope to accomplish anything with their new majority other than to preside over the dismantling of the republic, they must learn to appreciate this aspect of the American psyche. The silver lining, perhaps, is that the Republican majority that takes office in 2011 will be swollen with a vocal minority of Tea Party candidates who, by-and-large, are passionately committed to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and who genuinely believe that the Constitution should be viewed as an enforceable legal document. These new members of Congress will have the ear of the American people and an opportunity, however brief, to chart a new path to a more noble future.

Thanksgiving hit like a raging lion seeking to devour us all. One by one we succumbed to a dreadful 24 hour awfulness. We kind of had no plans for the holiday but when an incredibly generous family offered us their gorgeous home with a spectacular lake view, well, suddenly we knew what we were doing.
We arrived in town at Caitlin and Zac's to discover he had been struck with the awful illness and further that Christi- whose house we hoped to have our big feast was down as well. And this is so Christi- she said just plan on having it there anyway! We did a little cheerleading for Zac assuring him that in just 24 hours; he'd be good as new. At that is how it went. Thanksgiving went off at Christi and Darrell's with Christi wisping in and out of the party. The guys all told stories of what terrible no good very bad boys they were and the girls- well, there was no story to be told so near to perfection were all the females, even in their formative years.
We had divvied up the food prep. Andrew made his most amazing stuffing. Me? Oh, I made jello. And who in the world can't make jello? me. Unfortunately it needed to travel too and it was, well, it was soup. I tried desperately to doctor it to no avail and in the end put it in a sea worthy vessel and sloshed it to the party. You just can't fret over bad jello.
Friday we hit the town to shop and eat and drink. And then because the Branns had purchased a theater(!), a private movie showing was on the schedule that night.
And then when someone else decides to buy a whole flippin' forest complete with cascading waterfall, Christmas trees were at our fingertips for the chopping. No crazed lumberjack this year. I got my all time perfect Christmas tree right there- super tall and thin to fit in the room girth-wise and height-wise. We ended the day with a little hot toddy and pizza party.
Throughout all the activities some would suddenly drop out and go quietly to recover and then rejoin the group 24 hours later. In a big way it made us all thankful for the blessing of feeling normal and healthy. I think this bug is scouring the nation so you may have had it too.

Strawberries really fourish/prosper in cool climates.
Are fourish and prosper interchangeable in the above? Thanks.
Thanks, beascar.
I think you're right.
- maybe not always moneywise, but usually with an animate (typically, human) subject; there's a common saying - 'cheats never prosper' [=people who cheat don't do well in the long run, although they might seem to get what they want in the short term].
As well as 'flourish' you could use 'thrive'. But 'flourish' is etymologically apt, as it is related to the word 'flower' - Online Etymology Dictionary

Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
the biggest ouch yet... i mean, are you F'ing kidding me????... there's no doubt in my mind this guy is in line for a major investigation before his term is up:
Rockefeller: Cheney applied 'constant' pressure to stall investigation on flawed Iraq intelligence By Jonathan S. Landay McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney exerted "constant" pressure on the Republican former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee to stall an investigation into the Bush administration's use of flawed intelligence on Iraq, the panel's Democratic chairman charged Thursday. In an interview with McClatchy Newspapers, Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia also accused President Bush of running an illegal program by ordering eavesdropping on Americans' international e-mails and telephone communications without court-issued warrants. In the 45-minute interview, Rockefeller said that it was "not hearsay" that Cheney, a leading proponent of invading Iraq, pushed Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., to drag out the probe of the administration's use of prewar intelligence. "It was just constant," Rockefeller said of Cheney's alleged interference. He added that he knew that the vice president attended regular policy meetings in which he conveyed White House directions to Republican staffers. Republicans "just had to go along with the administration," he said. |
Re: Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
I think its so strange how much power this guy has...
imagine if you will.... Al Gore pulling power moves like this? Dan Quale exerting constant pressure on congress to surpress evidence. NOW...... imagine them getting away with it? |

Re: Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
ummmm... the man stalled, and some might say halted, an investigation into his own lies... correct me, but could that not be seen as obstruction of justice somehow?
Re: Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
again, i don't want to see the man hung...
i merely want him removed from office for lying to the American people, covering up his lies, sending America's best to die unecessarily, disrupting our military resources, and throwing a sovereign nation (the wrong "enemy") into complete and utter chaos... |
Re: Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
Re: Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
questions i would ask, and hammer home until he addressed (regardless of how pissy he got): 1) Rockefeller alledges that you purposefully hindered the Senate Intel Commission's investigation into pre-war intel. How do you respond to that? 2) Patrick Fitzgerald has portrayed you as having orchestrated a coordinated plan to discredit Joe Wilson in mid-2003, including the delibate blown cover of a NOC agent, protected under the Intelligence Agencies Protection Act... How do you respond to that? |
Re: Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
Hmmm... the same Jay Rockefeller who was censured for leaking classified material?
Re: Things just keep getting worse for Cheney
Well Jay Jay was censured, even if noting he is a liar annoys you.
NTW so was Leahy, in fact he was removed from the Intel committee because of his egregious acts. Of course it didn't stop the demRATS from putting him in charge of the committe that reviews the qualifications of judges. sorta funny whne you think about it. |

How do you get involved in CMA?
It is possible to become involved as little or as much in CMA as your personal time and interests allow. All members are encouraged to take advantage of the collaborative value of networking with fellow members through CMA's online directory, forums and listserv. A next great step is attending one of CMA's many annual conventions or workshops where tremendous training and information sharing unique to our profession takes place.
For those interested in a little deeper involvement, volunteering for a CMA committee or project is a great way to start. From coast to coast, CMA committee members combine their talents to serve their fellow advisers and their students. They lead sessions at CMA conventions and workshops, coordinate non-member speakers, report for CMA publications and respond to the challenges that face media advisers, be they newcomers or veterans. For more information about committees, visit the CMA Committee List page by clicking here.
Regardless of your level of participation in the association, there are many benefits to CMA membership that can help enhance your professional and personal life.

The view of presenilins has widened since the membrane proteins were pigeonholed as villains on the business end of γ-secretase. Recent work has placed presenilins in a different light—as guardians of neuronal health. That research suggested new roles for presenilins in maintaining proper intracellular calcium signaling. Calcium dysregulation has garnered increased attention for its possible role in AD and other neurodegenerative disorders (for review, see Bezprozvanny, 2009). Last summer, scientists reported that presenilins interact with and activate sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump proteins, and that SERCA activity seems to influence Aβ production (Green et al., 2008 and ARF related news story). Other work has suggested that presenilins function as ER calcium leak channels (Tu et al., 2006 and ARF related news story), and that several familial AD mutations specifically disrupt this Ca2+ leak function of presenilin 1 (Nelson et al., 2007). Some of these activities could be independent of presenilins' γ-secretase activity.
Previous work from Shen's group has reinforced the idea that presenilins are indispensable for cognition and neuronal integrity. Her team conditionally knocked out the two presenilin genes (PS1 and PS2) in mouse postnatal forebrain, and saw a progressive increase in memory impairment and neurodegeneration as these mice got older (Saura et al., 2004 and ARF related news story). But this study left the researchers pondering what, mechanistically, was responsible for presenilin's essential roles in memory and neuronal survival. The current study tackles one aspect of this issue—whether these functions of presenilin depend on its γ-secretase-dependent or -independent activities.
Led by Shen and first author Katsuhiko Tabuchi, the researchers chose a similar knockout strategy. "Rather than chase after 20 published substrates, many of which are probably not physiological, we decided to first do a genetic dissection because it would be very conclusive," Shen told ARF. Using the same promoter that drove postnatal forebrain-specific inactivation of PS1/PS2 in their previous study, her team engineered a conditional knockout (cKO) mouse whose cortical excitatory neurons lacked expression of nicastrin, one of three other γ-secretase subunits besides presenilin. (The remaining two are presenilin enhancer 2 [Pen-2] and anterior pharynx defective 1 [Aph-1].)
By and large, the nicastrin cKO mice reproduced the striking phenotype of the lab's PS1/PS2 animals. At two months of age, both mouse strains had sharply reduced PS1 and Pen-2 levels, though Aph-1 expression had hardly changed. In addition, cortical lysates from each mouse line had normal levels of full-length amyloid precursor protein (APP) but whopping amounts of the C-terminal APP fragment, as predicted by the reduced γ-secretase-mediated cleavage of APP in those cells. These data suggest that the absence of nicastrin destabilizes most components of the γ-secretase complex, compromises its activity, and reduces its APP-cleaving ability.
The biochemical changes in the nicastrin cKO mice were associated with learning and memory deficits that showed up as early as two to three months of age, when the mice still lacked detectable changes in brain volume or cortical neuron numbers relative to the control group. At six to nine months, the nicastrin cKO animals' performance on memory tests continued to plummet, and the researchers found evidence of neurodegeneration (white and gray matter loss in Nissl-stained sagittal brain sections) and synapse dysfunction (decreased MAP2 and synaptophysin immunoreactivity in neocortex and hippocampus). Neurodegeneration often comes with heightened inflammation, and signs of this also appeared in the nicastrin cKO mice. In Western and immunostaining analyses, their cortical lysates had higher levels of the reactive astrocyte marker GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), as well as elevated Iba-1 (ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1), a protein specifically expressed in brain microglia, compared with control mice. The nicastrin cKO animals also had increased apoptosis (greater numbers of TUNEL-positive and caspase-3-positive cells) in the neocortex—measurable at two months of age, more severe at six months—and higher levels of hyperphosphorylated tau at six months.
All together, the data convincingly argue that presenilins support memory formation and neuronal survival through γ-secretase-dependent mechanisms, Shen said. The findings may also offer insight into ongoing discussions about the dearth of neurodegeneration in many APP-overexpressing mouse strains. "People have argued in the past that the reason APP transgenic mice don't have significant neurodegeneration is because the mice are resistant to neuronal loss," Shen said. However, the new study shows that "the mouse brain is not very resistant to neurodegeneration if you have targeted the right gene. It highlights the importance of presenilins and nicastrin in neuronal survival," she said. Furthermore, the authors write that their "data—including the increase in tau phosphorylation, and the widespread apoptosis—are consistent with the notion that the neurodegeneration induced by inactivation of γ-secretase subunits resembles the neurodegeneration observed in AD."
Other scientists are not as convinced that the γ-secretase models exhibit AD-like neurodegenerative pathways. "Accumulation of amyloid has been postulated to play a critical role in AD pathogenesis and abnormal neuronal Ca2+ signaling has also been implicated as one of the pathogenic pathways involved in AD," wrote Ilya Bezprozvanny of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, in an e-mail to ARF. He noted that PS1/PS2 conditional double knockout and nicastrin conditional knockout mice do not produce amyloid, and the current study does not reveal Ca2+ signaling dysfunction in the nicastrin cKO mice. "Thus, it remains an open question whether these γ-secretase knockout mice are a faithful model for the neuronal cell death in AD," he wrote (see full comment below).

Leuven in Belgium, and Bezprozvanny raised the possibility that presenilin expression levels in aging neurons of the nicastrin cKO mice could be reduced enough to affect non-proteolytic functions of presenilin. De Strooper pointed out, though, that "the Ca2+ leakage function is maintained in Aph-1 deficient cells (Tu et al., 2006), indicating that presenilin can exert that function outside of the [γ-secretase] complex." (See full comment below.)
Recent work from De Strooper's lab added to the emerging picture of γ-secretase as a multi-functional complex. Published in Science several months ago, that study showed that selectively knocking out the B/C isoforms of the Aph-1 component of γ-secretase rescues cognitive defects and neurodegeneration in an AD mouse model (Serneels et al., 2009 and ARF related news story). The data suggest that selective inhibition of γ-secretase components may produce the desired therapeutic benefits without the side effects from inactivating the entire complex.
Scientists seem to agree that unraveling the mechanisms underlying presenilin-mediated neuronal survival remains a top priority for future studies. "The challenge will be now to determine which signaling pathways, downstream from γ-secretase, are involved in neuronal death in the aging brain," wrote Philippe Marambaud, Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, New York, in an e-mail to ARF (see full comment below). He gives a vote of confidence to signal transduction by cadherins—adhesion proteins that are expressed at mature synapses, are critical for synaptic plasticity, and are cleaved by γ-secretase in neurons upon NMDA receptor stimulation (Marambaud et al., 2003).—Esther Landhuis.

The experimental design is very elegant and leaves no doubt that γ-secretase function is essential for neuronal survival. Although the exact mechanism that connects γ-secretase activity with neuronal survival is not established, these findings have obvious and important implications for developing and clinically testing γ-secretase inhibitors. The conclusion about the non-essential role of ER Ca2+ leak function of presenilins is somewhat less strong. The authors assume that ER Ca2+ signaling is normal in adult neurons from nicastrin cKO mice, but did not directly test it in the paper. In the previous studies our laboratory demonstrated that ER Ca2+ signals are normal in Aph TKO MEF cells (2), so it is already known that inactivation of γ-secretase per se does not have a major effect on ER Ca2+ handling. However, it is possible that levels of presenilin expression in aging neurons from nicastrin cKO mice are sufficiently reduced to affect ER Ca2+ signaling. When cortical lysates from two-month-old mice were analyzed by Western blotting, levels of presenilin-1 were reduced approximately twofold in nicastrin cKO mice. Unfortunately, the expression levels of presenilins are not shown for six- and nine-month cortical lysates from nicastrin cKO mice.
Another critical issue to consider is whether memory deficits and cortical neuronal loss observed in PS cDKO and nicastrin cKO mice faithfully replicate neuronal dysfunction and eventual death in AD. There is no doubt that previous (1) and present (Tabuchi at al., 2009) data from Jie Shen's lab indicate that γ-secretase activity is important for neuronal survival. However, it remains unclear if the pathway leading to neuronal cell death in γ-secretase KO models is the same as in AD. This is a critical question that still needs to be addressed. Accumulation of amyloid has been postulated to play a critical role in AD pathogenesis (3). Abnormal neuronal Ca2+ signaling has also been implicated as one of the pathogenic pathways involved in AD (4). PS cDKO and nicastrin cKO mice do not produce amyloid and nicastrin cKO mice presumably have normal Ca2+ signaling. Thus, an open question is if neuronal cell death observed in these γ-secretase knockout mice is a faithful model for neuronal cell death in AD. In any case, the new results obtained by the authors provide very interesting and important insights into a connection between γ-secretase activity and neuronal survival. Understanding the mechanistic basis responsible for this connection will be an extremely important future task. References:1. Saura, C.A. et al.

The challenge will be now to determine what are the signaling pathways—downstream from γ-secretase—involved in neuronal death in the aging brain. Cadherins may represent attractive candidates. Indeed, the cadherin family of cell-cell adhesion proteins is abundantly expressed at mature synapses, is critical for synaptic plasticity, and is cleaved by γ-secretase in neurons upon NMDA receptor stimulation (Marambaud et al., 2003). It is, therefore, reasonable to think that a loss of synaptic cadherin cleavage by γ-secretase may lead over time to defects in synaptic plasticity and neuronal integrity and thus may contribute to the phenotype observed in these mice.

Another important question relates to the integrity in these mice of the CREB/CBP transcriptional pathway, which appeared to be significantly compromised in the PS cKO mice (Saura et al., 2004).

Abstract View all comments by Philippe Marambaud
In contrast with their previous paper in Neuron, Shen and colleagues now conclude that the neurodegeneration they see in both PS1 and 2 double KO mice, and nicastrin single KO mice is due to a γ-secretase defect, i.e., the loss of proteolytic function. This is part of an ongoing debate as to what extent postulated functions of presenilin outside the γ-secretase complex contribute to the overall phenotype of presenilin deficient mice. While I tend to believe that the neurodegeneration observed in their studies is indeed reflecting a real γ-secretase defect, the current paper is not conclusive in that regard. Indeed, knockout of nicastrin also destabilizes presenilin, and could theoretically affect functions of presenilin independent of its proteolytic function.

Indeed, knockout of nicastrin also destabilizes presenilin, and could theoretically affect functions of presenilin independent of its proteolytic function. However, I agree with Shen and colleagues that their current interpretation is the most likely one, as the major defect in nicastrin deficient cells is the loss of proteolytic activity, while some presenilin level is still maintained, which could fulfill these postulated other functions. For instance the Ca2+ leakage function is maintained in APh1 deficient cells (Tu et al., 2006) indicating that presenilin can exert that function outside of the complex.
The big question, as the authors discuss in their manuscript, is the identification of the substrate that is responsible for the neurodegenerative phenotype. This is a very difficult question to answer, given the many different substrates, and the possibility that any of the γ-secretase substrates which accumulate in the Nct knockout mice could theoretically contribute to this phenotype.
It is clear that γ-secretase as a drug target is not an easy one. We published recently that it is possible to knock out specifically the APh1B-γ-secretase in the brain of mice without neurodegenerative changes, and with the potential to clear Aβ peptide from the brain (Serneels et al., 2009). This indicates that a partial inhibition of the complex in brain is feasible and with acceptable side effects.

Not only is surrogacy not allowed in Germany, but it seems the children born from surrogacy will not be allowed into Germany. Unbelievable!
That is shocking and ridiculous.
I have to wonder though... if the German parents are presenting an American birth certificate with both of their names on it (in the case of a PBO) then would Germany even question it? Would the parents have to prove that they gave birth?
You'd think Germany would have learned their lesson about overreaching into the lives of their citizens but apparently old lessons die away. I can't imagine what problem they feel this new law will solve - too many children in general using German resources? There IS an anti-immigrant feeling in Germany, I wonder if this feeds off it somehow.
As far as them calling surrogacy 'immoral', Germany has legalized prostitution so that's a bit hypocritical.

Hi, this is really crazy in Germany
The politican complain that Germany has to few children, but they do not help childless couples. I am soooo angry about the German laws.
My former IPs were German. The german embassy here was giving them a hard time giving the twins passports but they had no problems getting the US passports for them so they could return home. They got the German passports a few weeks after being home.

Yes I think it must be old because don't the twins and Tyler that Kari carried as a TS live in Germany. Of course maybe TS is seen differently than GS.

Tyler and the twins are residents of germany but are not citizens. They have UK and US citizenship and passports but are allowed to reside there due to their father being married to a German. However they went about it as that I was a mom who just didn't want the kids, surrogacy never was mentioned.
Mom to Savanna (2003), Robert (2004) and Lilliann (2008)

Retired and working on me now.
Missing my friend Ray and father to Tyler, Emily and Joshua. Taken from this life by cancer too soon. You will never be forgotten. RIP 1-13-13
My FIP's just went to court and they approved the US birth certificate and J was granted German citizenship. I was a little worried because of all the paperwork and I thought My hubby and I were going to have to go to Germany. It all worked out fine though so yay!!!

Super six seal their black belts
2:00pm Friday 2nd November 2012 in Sport
SIX students from Bewdley TAGB Taekwondo Club came through their black belt gradings with flying colours.
Shaun Mayall, Grace Bentley-Hughes, Pippa Lock, Joshua Sheppard, Alex Basset, and Georgia Doohan-Smith attended a three-day bi-annual event in Bristol and were put to the test, as they demonstrated their speed and precision of techniques and battled each other through fast paced routines and sparred with each other in combat.
The journey to black belt has not always been an easy one and many of the youngsters have had their individual struggles to overcome.
Shaun Mayall had his arm badly broken at the elbow not long after he started the martial art, but he refused to let it stop him.
Six years on and numerous operations later, he has stuck at his training, and despite his elbows being permanently 45 degrees misaligned he has shown amazing indomitable spirit for one so young and never lets it hold him back.
The six stars travelled to Ellowes Hall Sports College to receive their results last week.
As one of the few remaining Taekwondo schools who are graded externally by a panel of national examiners, it was not for instructors to decide their student's fate.
It was one of the highest graded black belts in the world, master Paul Donnelly, who travelled to deliver the results and present the awards in front of hundreds of students, friends and family.
