Coke and Pepsi are making some changes to their formula to avoid having their cans slapped with a cancer warning label. The companies directed their suppliers to reduce the level of the chemical 4-methylimidazole, which is a component of the caramel coloring and can be found in trace amounts in the soda. The change comes following a California law that demands drinks with a certain level of carcinogens display a warning, and while scientists say there are no immediate health concerns associated with the product (despite a few Twitter users freaking out), the two companies are changing the way they make their coloring to comply. Fortunately, the drinks will still be packed with all the sugar and empty calories you can handle.

Patterning of the Drosophila eye
One of the fundamental interests of the laboratory is exploration of epithelial patterning. How does an initially random collection of undifferentiated cells mature into a precise and functional organized epithelium? The developing Drosophila eye is an elegant model for studying epithelial patterning and, incidentally, is one of nature's most beautiful structures (Figure). We have used genetics, biochemistry, histology, laser ablation studies, disc culturing, microarrays, and computational modeling to explore how these epithelial cells move within the epithelium to find their final positions.
Figure 5. The adult fly eye.
Mutations in the transmembrane adhesion proteins Rst and Hbs lead to a failure of IPCs to move into their correct niches. We find that their adhesion to each other across neighboring cells provides the 'attraction' that helps move cells to their proper niches. This involves adhesion but also actin cytoskeleton rearrangement, and we have identified many factors that mediate this cytoplasmic process. The result is dynamic cell movement, important for eye patterning; similar mechanisms may be at play in our cancer metastasis models. As we further explore the developing fly eye, we are beginning to integrate adhesion, signal transduction, and cell biology to achieve a more complete and useful understanding of the mechanisms that direct epithelial patterning.

A different approach to disease
Cancer has proven a difficult disease to achieve significant long-term advances in patient survival; improvements in survival are often measured in months. Diabetes has not fare much better. My laboratory has undertaken a genetic and drug screening approach targeting cancer and diabetes utilizing the fruitfly Drosophila. Our basic approach has been to use the advantages of the fly to take a whole animal approach to disease. We use an integrated approach: genes and drugs identified in flies are then brought to rodent and ultimately to clinical trials; sequencing and histological data from humans are then brought back to our fly models to allow us to develop increasingly sophisticated fly models.
MEN2: My laboratory has developed a Drosophila model for Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 (MEN2) and related MTC. Targeting oncogenic Ret to the eye, we phenocopied many aspects of the human syndrome (Figure). With this model in hand, we utilized a classical genetic modifier screen to identify 140 factors that function in the oncogenic process (Figure). We used this data to predict two candidate human susceptibility loci that are commonly deleted in MEN2 patients with secondary pheochromocytomas.
Figure 1. Adult fly eyes, Left; a normal eye, Right; An eye expressing an oncogenic (cancer-causing) form of Ret. The eye is small and 'rough', reflecting defects in the underlying epithelium.
Metastasis: One regulator of oncogenic Ret was Csk, the major inhibitor of Src activity. Src is perhaps the original oncogene, and has been implicated in metastasis. Working in flies, we demonstrated that activating Src sets up a 'metastatic boundary' of cells that migrate away specifically from the tumor's edge (Figure); we have implicated multiple factors in this 'metastasis'. Working with pathologists, we have established evidence from histological sections that human solid tumors share many of these same molecular/spatial aspects present in our fly models (Figure). Currently, we are using human tumor sequencing data to alter multiple oncogenes/tumor suppressors with the goal of designing more sophisticated models of human tumorigenesis.
Figure 2. Fly Src-mediated 'tumors' in the wing epithelium (left) lose E-cadherin (green) at tumor edges (brackets); human Squamous Cell Carcinomas (right) share this loss of E-cadherin (brown).
Diabetes: We have established a collaboration with Tom Baranski's laboratory to create a model system for diabetes. Flies placed on a high-carbohydrate diet demonstrate a broad range of defects that share important properties with human diabetics: hemolymph glucose levels rise to levels similar to uncontrolled diabetics and pathways important in human diabetes progression modify diet-mediated fly phenotypes.
Our efforts are directed at three aspects of diabetes. First, our histology and lipid mass spec results indicate that changes in the lipid profiles of our 'diabetic' flies phenocopy changes in humans (Figure). Second, our genetic screens have identified 170 modifiers of the media-induced phenotype. Finally, we have explored the effects of 'flyabetes' on heart and kidney function (Figure), the two major sources of organ failure in type 2 diabetic patients. Our goal is an effective whole-animal approach to understanding and treating diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Figure 3. Fly heart (center, green) and fly kidney 'nephrocyte' (red). These fail on a high sugar diet.
Drug Screening: My laboratory has developed a novel method of high-throughput drug screening using our fly models, robotics, and compound libraries. Through our feeding paradigms, we provided whole animal validation (Figure) that helped identify ZD6474 as a useful tool for treating MEN2 patients; the compound has completed Phase III and holds promise to be the first approved chemotherapeutic for MEN2. We have now expanded these efforts to other diseases including metastasis and, working with medicinal chemists, to novel classes of compounds. Importantly, the inhibitors we identified in flies show efficacy in standard mouse models of oncogenic growth and metastasis. With these whole animal approaches, we hope to identify lead compounds that maximize efficacy and bioavailability while minimizing whole animal toxicity.
Figure 4. Feeding flies the chemical kinase inhibitor ZD6474 led to rescue of the Ret-mediated tumorigenic phenotype.

Well it's 2013, and if you resolved to travel more there's no shortage of tropical destinations on SniqueAway right now (Los Altos Club Casa de Campo, Magic Blue Boutique Hotel and Utopia Village). But let's say you can't make the trip just yet. Well, we've picked out a few tropically inclined watering holes scattered across some decidedly non-tropical areas. So if you're nearby, these places will bring the Beach Vacation vibes to you.
Clockwise from top left:
Lani Kai (New York, NY): This Hawaiian-native-owned tiki bar serves up some truly tropical libations like the Pacific Swizzle with white rum, lemongrass, hibiscus tea, lime juice and passion fruit.
Forbidden Island (Alameda, CA): Try award-winning cocktails like the banana-coconut-cream-and-silver-rum Banana Mamacow at this California-based oasis.
Mai-Kai Restaurant (Ft. Lauderdale, FL): Dinner and a (Polynesian) show—this place takes the average drink menu to a new level with house specialities like the Mai-Kai Blizzard with rum, ice cream and a blend of West Indies spices.
Trailer Happiness (London, England): A small cocktail lounge that offers an off-the-beaten-path sense of seclusion alongside vibrant Hawaiian-inspired drinks, original artwork and live music.

The American Civil Liberties Union is requesting the city hand over all e-mail communications concerning a Sarasota police officer's beating of a handcuffed suspect.
Specifically, the ACLU is looking for communications from suspended Police Chief Peter Abbott; Sgt. Ken Castro; City Manager Bob Bartolotta; and Larry Hobbs, a city risk-management employee.
City Auditor and Clerk Billy Robinson estimated there were about 2,600 e-mails in question.
Michael Barfield, vice president of the ACLU's Sarasota chapter, said he is looking for "transparency in the investigative process and the events that occurred."
He would not say whether the ACLU was considering a lawsuit against the city on behalf of Juan Perez.
Perez was arrested June 26 for disorderly intoxication and obstruction. Surveillance video at the booking facility shows Perez climbing out of a police-car window and falling to the ground. Officer Christopher Childers then placed his foot on Perez's chest.
When Perez tried to get up, Childers kicked him twice in the chest, and Perez fell to the ground.
Written reports from Childers and another officer did not mention the kicks. And when a jail employee told the police department's shift commander, Lt. Ken Rainey, about the incident, Rainey waited a week to tell his superiors.
Castro was assigned to investigate the case. But Abbott also instructed Castro to get a check from Hobbs to offer to Perez in exchange for an agreement not to sue the city. Castro personally delivered the $400 check.
Bartolotta said he was not informed of the videotaped incident or the payoff and subsequently suspended Abbott while an independent investigation is conducted.
Childers was also suspended. Rainey and Hobbs were reprimanded.

Claimed by the Djinn
Darragha Foster

Maggie Abbott believes that everything should be accompanied by an orgasm. Paying the bills. Grocery shopping. Standing in line. Walking the damned treadmill. Working out at the gym proves to be quite a thrill for her when a Djinn of Italian descent takes over as her personal trainer and lover. Not that Adanto hasn't already been in love with her for seven hundred years. How romantic can he make going to the gym? Can he win her heart as he works her booty? Will the odor of sweat and determination perfume their encounters, or will he end up forever bound to a heavy piece of obsolete exercise equipment Maggie abhors? In a time when magic lanterns are no longer strewn about for princes and thieves to find, and the Djinn race has all-but-disappeared from the world of humans, Maggie finds that all her wishes can come true--as long as she is on that blessed treadmill.
Maggie hated using her credit card.
Hated it
. It seemed as if every time she got the thing paid down, something happened in her life that called for an immediate payment of more
than she could swing between paydays. She called it her "five-hundred-dollar card" because that was the amount she usually had to spend.
Today as she looked over the contract at the local torture facility—or gym, in layman's terms—she wanted to spout out a stream of sarcastic remarks that would probably send the Bambi-esque guest co-coordinator into a tizzy. Sarcastic remarks about the membership being
four hundred dollars. Such a savings over the regular fee she was getting. And she got a free t-shirt.
Holy crap, I'm just the fortunate one, aren't I?
Maggie liked her curves. She had boobs, hips and junk in her trunk, and it all pulled together quite nicely. The roundness of her belly was sexy, not unflattering. Men always gave her a double-take. Real men who liked real women, that is. Problem was, the older she grew, the more real challenges of having high cholesterol, higher than normal blood sugars and family history of heart disease and morbid obesity became. Two bachelor's degrees and one Master's wouldn't do much for her if the shadow of ill-health followed her the way it had her parents and grandparents.
Yep, I have the bod and the brains, but not the genetic predisposition
As smart as she was, she felt…
Welcome to my nightmare
Doctor's orders were to lose forty pounds by eating leafy greens, lean proteins, limited fruit, no sugar or refined white flour products--and by moving.
. Before the desk job she looked the same, but had been able to walk a flight of steps without becoming breathless. Now she could afford a gym membership, but could barely manage a stroll around the facility with Bambi.
The small blonde Bambi who had signed her up politely introduced her to the tall dark-haired Bambi for the gym tour and then went back to her pile of fluffy towels
Maggie's right hand twitched from signing that credit. Dark Bambi looked more like a babysitter than a trained demonstrator. Maggie felt short, squat and old alongside her. She bit her lip.
Feelings of inadequacy do not have a place in my life. Rinse. Repeat.
"I'll show you the big machines first and take you around the weight room after. 'k?" Dark Bambi was way too perky. And young.
"Fine. I'm more of an exercise bike person."
"Well, we have lots of those. But let's start with this." Bambi stopped at a large free-standing treadmill with so many buttons and switches it reminded Maggie of the navigation consul on the bridge of
Star Trek's USS Enterprise
"Beam me up." Maggie studied the various and seemingly endless settings for the machine.
Bambi didn't get the joke. She fired off the instructions for usage. "This is a state of the art electronic walking device that can measure your heart rate, calories burned, blood pressure, impact on your joints and so much more. You step up onto the sides, set your speed and incline, attach the electrode clips to your two pointer fingers, then press 'start.' Put your feet on the belt, which will move really slowly for about ten seconds. Then you're off and running."
"Off and running. Right." Maggie stepped up onto the treadmill. It enveloped her like a Mini-Cooper. "Where's the steering wheel?
Dark Bambi didn't crack a smile. "Do you need further instruction?" She checked her cell phone as it whirred to life at her waist. "Excuse me, I've got to take a call from the office."
"No, I've got it. Gym opens at five in the morning, right?"
It was too late for a reply. Dark-haired Bambi already had her cell phone to her ear and sauntered off, her young Lycra-clad ass swaying provocatively.
Maggie rolled her eyes.
Firm young flesh hasn't got a thing on experience
She studied the bells and whistles on the treadmill control panel.
Where's the "on" switch?
A bright green button dead center of the panel flickered on as if the machine had read her mind. She leaned over to speak to the person sweating a few feet away from her. "These things are motion activated?"
The response from the fellow gym member was an exhausted, but polite, smile.
Like that tells me anything
. Maggie pushed the button. The treadmill hummed and the belt began to move. She stepped onto it and took a few hesitant steps. Zero incline at a crawl. She could manage that.
The LED display flashed white, then letters formed. W E L C O M E M A G G I E.
Clever. Very clever. Someone back there programmed the machine to say "hello" to me
The screen flickered a second time. New letters appeared. I L O V E Y O U.
Maggie burst out laughing. She turned to the man next to her again. "Some advertising, huh? I love you. Jesus."
The man wiped his brow, giving her the oddest look. He turned off his machine and fled. Maggie felt insulted by how quickly the guy left the area.
She looked down at the panel of her own machine again. New words were forming. T H A N K Y O U F O R B E I N G H E R E.
"You're welcome, I guess." She bit back a chuckle.
The panel changed again. D R E A M S D O C O M E T R U E.
Maggie snorted.
Lucky I don't have a mouthful of coffee right now. My dreams are too weird to come true
. "You don't know my dreams, Bambi—or whomever it is running the LED panel."
Great…I'm speaking to a treadmill
. "Quit shouting. Can't you type using lower case letters?"
The LED display flickered.
She switched the machine off.
Trying not to look as though she ran from a fire, Maggie left the building as quickly as she could. Not only was it unfamiliar ground, it was now getting way too personal.
Talking treadmills. Christ. I just paid four hundred bucks for talking treadmills

Bordeaux White Blend There's white wine in Bordeaux, too! Typically made from Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and bits of Muscadelle, white Bordeaux can be a fully dry table wine or, as in Sauternes, a deliciously sweet dessert wine. In other areas of the world, a Bordeaux blend consists primarily of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, either of which may be the predominant variety. Bordeaux blends can vary in style, but most have good acidity and often a mineral overtone.

Earth 2 #1
"A different world! A different destiny!" GTFO.
Comic Review Article
Jim Beard May 7, 2012
"A different world! A different destiny!" GTFO.
Chip Kidd's new book is backwards.
It's been 32 years since anyone's attempted to follow up Michael Fleisher's ambitious attempt to quantify the Caped Crusader with his Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes, Volume 1 .
A new call to action! One man trying to reclaim a world… for a world that might not want him to.
A wee bit more than 30 years ago DC was in the middle of what was perhaps one of their gloomiest times ever (not counting Zero Hour , of course).
In 1986, DC had had enough and blew everything up.
Debuting in 1966 and ceasing production by 1968, no other toy had such a brief existence yet has become a phenomenon the likes of Captain Action.

When I first come in Pattaya
Re: When I first come in Pattaya
Why accuse people of being bad when things are already set in place to mislead them?
If there was no market for such a thing, the market would collapse.
supply and demand perhaps?

Re: When I first come in Pattaya
After 5 years in Pattaya I relocated to Phuket.
Phuket is somewhat more expensive, but you also get a lot more for your money when staying there!
If you stay away from the west coast like Kata, Karon and Patong, then you can find a very nice hotel at a reasonable price.
Now I live in Sichon Beach, at the mainland opposite Koh Samui.
Here things are very very affordable compared to both Phuket and Pattaya.
I often visit my friends in Phuket, and then I and my wife stay at a hotel in Phuket Town with air con, hot water, fridge and cabel TV. Price is 500 baht per night. A similar room in say Kata would cost you minimum 1.500 baht per night. Tripple up!!
And the food and things are also more expensive there!
Compared to Sichon, here you can get a bungalow at the beach with air con for 500 baht per night.
Food and other stuff is less than half the price in Phuket and Pattaya! But of course we do not have a pizza bar or a beer bar at every corner, but I can do without Some stuff in Pattaya and Phuket is 3 times more expensive than here in Sichon.
Not to forget our beaches...they are officially rated 4.5 Stars, compared to 4 Stars in Phuket...don't know how many Stars in Pattaya, but guess around 3 Stars will be the maximum

Re: When I first come in Pattaya
The beach was still a very useable place then but there were signs it was getting bad and some days the pollution made the sea a cesspit. Thankfully, that has now been put right with the opening of the water and sewage works but the beach does need some reworking. The beach road should be dug up, the beach expanded back to its natural limit, which was beyond the road in the 1960s.
New shade trees should be planted, not coconuts, and the commercial properties along the East side of the road need to be improved and a wide pedestrian pavement/walkway needs to run the length of the beach. The night life is all part of the charm of the place and need not be reduced/controlled/regulated any further.
It is now a much cleaner, if just as noisy place as it was when I first came here. Still work needs to be done to restore Pattaya to its rightful place as a major tourist destination of Asia. Expanding U Tapoa airport is a step in the right direction but the beach lets the city down.
It can be done and it should be done, soon!

Re: When I first come in Pattaya
I avoided Pattaya for 20 years mainly because of it's reputation on the seedier side of life but recently went to look at condo's in Jontiem though I stayed in South Patts........I loved it......the seedier side is there if you so desire but the people are still Thais, mainly Essan, and the smiles are still there....the clubs and the nightlife are great and plenty of great restuarants and sights to see.....admittedly not the real LoS and has more than its fair share of drunken Farangs....and like the rest of LoS there are great areas nearby to explore.....for when you want to escape the hustle and bustle.......

Mayor Tom Richards testifies in front of state legislature in Albany
Posted at: 01/28/2013 10:17 PM | Updated at: 01/28/2013 11:16 PM
Rochester Mayor Tom Richards is back from Albany where he asked questions about Governor Cuomo's budget proposal.
Mayor Richards testified in front of the state legislature Monday. Mayor Richards said between city pension payments and state mandated costs for schools, the city is faced with a growing budget gap.
He suggested that the state share the bill, specifically the $119 million in mandated school payment and public safety costs.
Tom Richards, Rochester Mayor said, "We do support Governor Cuomo's budget and we support the proposal he's made with respect to the flattening of the pension payments which would help us significantly. But, even after all of that is done, and it'll be very helpful this year, we need to start thinking about how we finance these cities, seriously. We have an 18th century revenue system with a 21st century expense base. That is just not going to work in the long run."
Mayor Richards says he and other mayors as well as state officials should work together to find a solution.

Reinvention could just as easily have been Johnny "Guitar" Watson's middle name. The multi-talented performer parlayed his stunning guitar skills into a vaunted reputation as one of the hottest blues axemen on the West Coast during the 1950s. But that admirable trait wasn't paying the bills as the 1...

text: I've seen some research that using AAS that are potent enough (enough to give great mass/strength increases) will create changes, e,g, increasing the amount of androgen receptors on muscle fibers surface or something, permanently once even one cycle is done. So that all subsequent workouts will give an even better result because of greater action by natural test. Can anyone shed some light on advantages that are given by taking AAS?

Islamic arts
In lands where the Sunni sect was strong, mime shows were frequent and popular attractions during the later Middle Ages. The Ottoman sultans were accompanied on military campaigns by their own troupe of actors; and, as the Ottoman Empire grew larger and richer, the court became ever more partial to entertainment, whether at the accession of a sultan, a royal wedding, a circumcision, an official visit, or a victory. On such occasions, dances and theatrical performances played their part along with parades, fireworks, music, mock fights, and circus performances in one huge, sumptuous pageant. This lavishing of entertainment reached a height of splendour that the admiring Ottoman aristocracy strove to imitate throughout the empire. In Arabia and North Africa, popular shows on a lesser scale were performed in the open air. Another aspect of the Islamic theatre was represented in the shadow plays, which were given chiefly to pass the time during the month of fasting, Ramadan (the sacred ninth month of the Muslim year). Among Shīʿites the passion play was regularly performed, by both professional and amateur actors. The performance always took place during the first 10 days of the month of Muḥarram (the first ...

4/29/2011: US Commission Cites Egypt for Violating Religious Freedoms - VOA News |
For the first time, an independent U.S. commission is recommending Egypt be added to a list of the world's worst violators of religious liberty. The recommendation was contained in the Commission on International Religious Freedom's annual report.
The bipartisan commission says Egypt's religious minorities, like Coptic Christians, have faced severe repression before and after the departure of former President Hosni Mubarak.
"In his [Mubarak's] waning months, religious freedom conditions were rapidly deteriorating, and since his departure, we have seen nothing to indicate that these conditions have improved," said Commission-chairman Leonard Leo. Tags: |
