Hi.. I understand the confusion your going through but there are some facts you need to face dear. From what you have told us about your relationship with this man, I get that he has been in your life from quite a long time. That having been said, I think you need to realise that he doesn't want to commit to you. The last time he started dating someone is proof enough that he doesn't see you as a romantic interest.
I suggest you do keep distance from him and follow the no contact rule strictly. It will be hard but it is for your own good. Distractions are a great way to stick to the NC rule. Keep yourself occupied and slowly you'll be able to get over him.

I ... back to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel ... the uncanny mace to me headed to Japan as U S ambassador there ... and it's the nation as ... the heavily criticized by people on the right hand on the left ... American Enterprise Institute scholar and that is to dot com columnist Michael Osborne joins me to discuss Michael ... she doesn't speak Japanese just know a thing about Asia why in the world that the White House nominate somebody like her ... legacy jokes ... was taken so they can find somewhere to send a campaign supporter from prison Obama ... the enemy units that pattern has been happening lately ... the current ambassador live action has been a very good investor John Roos ... was one of the of the largest campaign bottlers in the first campaign very early supporter ... of ... this administration like others lives in people that that is the guy that they can from him ... she's no different ... well but the difference with this post is compared to say wanted her parents ... is that you've got a lot of turmoil both inside Japan and and and also on its borders ... he is the first domestic situation Michael Addie when she billing counter ... what is going to be a teenager in that hopefully will have some years of stability now that Prime Minister Abbe has won ... election ... in the upper house the lower house known as the upper house so ... what she hopefully will not happen just what the current investor John Roos is and is a new prime minister every year ... it's very difficult to form relationships ... you know a good question to ask about of whether or not it matters in issue you can she know he's usually about policy ... this is why ... particular has been controlling the streets very very tightly ... on everything seems to be run through the National Security Council even more men than letting the state Department of Defense Department ... do their thing ... the Obama supporters and loyalists are placed the route both of those departments ... frankly I think it matters that much whether she really knows how much is going on in Asia though we like her to ... his insult committee centralize the White House ... it doesn't matter Michael that she has the president's year could she be a real asset ... given the connection ... U S to be targeted is you know you want someone that can pick up the phone and talk to President Obama ... I'd I think that it certainly doesn't work ... the the question is whether or not for example Japanese in this case will consider that she's actually part of the ... decision-making process to ship to say anything the president listens to be sure to pick up the phone ... and buying indicate either but did when she called them up and says hey ... you need more troops you really need to do something about China's pressure is going to listen to that and that the jury is out on him that's right and she has the crew just to show that you really get what's going on you know you mentioned there is just a few seconds ago very unstable region ... you can have eternal revisions that now Korea that relations with China over territorial issues in diamonds ... she knows that she understand the role ... that American troops play provide stability or will the Japanese troops ... play in helping America keep stability in the region so ... if she goes there with without really understanding the deeper meaning ... of what the lives of these ... Proms Michael ... lesson thirty seconds left what are your sources and friends on the ground in Japan say they welcome ...

Thomas Rosenbaum, an expert in condensed matter physics, will become the new president of the California Institute of Technology, officials announced Thursday.
Rosenbaum, 58, currently serves as provost at the University of Chicago, where he also holds the position of John T. Wilson Distinguished Service Professor of Physics. He succeeds Jean-Lou Chameau, who left Caltech earlier this year to head King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia.
Before becoming Chicago's provost in 2007, Rosenbaum studied the behavior of closely-packed atoms in solids and liquids at the university's Rosenbaum Lab. By experimenting on materials in extreme cold -- temperatures that approached absolute zero -- Rosenbaum and his colleagues were better able to examine the quantum behavior of substances, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education, described Rosenbaum's appointment as "a superb choice" for Caltech.
"This is someone who has the intellectual and academic administrative experience to be a first-class new president," Hartle said from Washington, D.C.
Caltech Provost Edward Stolper, a geologist, has been interim president since Chameau left at the end of the last school year, and will continue in that role until Rosenbaum arrives July 1, a campus spokesperson said.
As Chicago's senior academic administrator, Rosenbaum helped to establish the Institute for Molecular Engineering, an effort that also involved the Argonne National Lab. Caltech officials said his scientific and administrative experience would help him "in furthering" the relationship between Caltech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
While the federal government owns JPL's facilities, its 5,000 workers are Caltech employees, who work under government contract.
"The combination of deep management experience and visionary leadership Tom brings will serve Caltech extremely well in the coming years," said David Lee, chair of the Caltech Board of Trustees. "The board is excited about collaborating closely with Tom to propel the institute to new levels of scientific leadership."
Rosenbaum will face many challenges when he arrives at Caltech. Among the biggest will be maintaining the school's top reputation at a time when federal funding for scientific research is flat-lining and faces cuts, according to Hartle.
"The federal budget uncertainty creates massive problems for all major research universities and Caltech is not alone in this regard," Hartle said. Since Caltech's undergraduate program is relatively small, the importance of high-level research looms larger there than at other high-profile institutions, he said.
Rosenbaum's spouse, Katherine Faber, will also join the Caltech faculty. She is currently the Walter P. Murphy Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University.
Rosenbaum received his bachelor's degree in physics from Harvard University in 1977 and both a master's and a doctorate in physics from Princeton University in 1979 and 1982, respectively.
His honors include an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, a Presidential Young Investigator Award, and the William McMillan Award for "outstanding contributions to condensed matter physics."
Caltech enrolls 978 undergraduate students and 1,253 graduate students; it has about 300 faculty members and more than 600 research scholars.
In addition to having five Nobel laureates on its faculty, Caltech was recently ranked as the top research university in the world by the Times Higher Education magazine of Great Britain.
Harvard University was tied for second with Britain's University of Oxford, followed by Stanford, MIT, Princeton, the University of Cambridge, UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago, Imperial College London, Yale and UCLA.

Today's guest post comes from Dr Meredith Peddie. You can find more on Meredith at the bottom of the post.
"Sitting is the new Smoking"… we've all heard it…. It even made an appearance on Criminal Minds last week (sorry New Zealand TV is probably months out of date)… and yes, there is an ever growing number of studies that indicate that people who sit for long periods are at greater risk of developing, and dying from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. There are also studies that indicate that people's pattern of sitting might also affect their risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (longer periods of interrupted sitting are worse than short bouts that are regularly interrupted with activity). However, the vast majority of these studies are observational in nature, meaning that they can't tell us if changing peoples sitting patterns will actually reduce their risk of developing and dying from the above mentioned diseases.
Unfortunately, a study in which you actually changed peoples sitting patterns and then waited to see if that affected whether or not they would develop cancer or cardiovascular disease would take years, and require a large number of people…. So that is where our study comes in… we decided to investigate whether different patterns of activity and sitting would affect risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a very acute setting. Specifically, our study was designed to compare the effects of prolonged uninterrupted sitting, a single continuous bout of physical activity combined with prolonged sitting, and sitting with regular activity breaks on postprandial metabolism.
To do this we conducted a randomized cross over study in which 70 healthy, normal weight men and women participated in three intervention days, one in which they sat continuously for 9 h (except then they had to get up to use the bathroom), one in which they walked briskly uphill on the treadmill for 30 min and then sat for the remainder of the 9 h, and one in which they performed regular activity breaks (1 min and 40 sec walks on the treadmill every half an hour – giving us a total of 30 min on the treadmill over the 9 h) sitting in between each break.
During this time we fed them three times, and collected blood samples at regular intervals for the analysis if glucose, insulin and triglyceride. – Sound familiar? Yes, our study is very similar in design to a study Travis conducted as part of his PhD, and to the study David Dunstan conducted in Australia, however, the key differences are we used healthy, normal weight adults as participants (not children or overweight adults) and had an intervention day which was designed to mimic someone meeting the current physical activity guidelines, but still spending a lot of time sitting.
What did we find?
Regular activity breaks resulted in a 39% reduction in plasma glucose, and a 26% reduction in plasma insulin when compared to prolonged sitting. But what was surprising was that we also found a 37% reduction in plasma glucose and an 18% reduction in plasma insulin when regular activity breaks were compared to 30 min of physical activity combined with prolonged sitting. Obviously sitting for long periods isn't that great for glycemic control! What was also surprising to us was that neither physical activity, nor regular activity breaks resulted in plasma triglycerides being difference from prolonged sitting. This was particularly surprising because one of the highly publicized biological mechanisms proposed to explain the link between sitting and poor health is the activation of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase, which is involved in clearing triglycerides (the fat that appears in the bloods after a meal) out of the bloodstream.
What is the take home message?
Obviously there are well established benefits of participating in structured, longer bouts of physical activity on a regular basis, and we don't want this research to distract from that, or discourage people from trying to fit at least 30 min of physical activity into their lives on most days of the week…. However, this research does suggest that regularly breaking up periods of prolonged sitting could also be a very important thing to do for your health. So if you've been sitting at your computer reading this… maybe its time you got up and walked around, it doesn't have to be for long… about a 1 min 40 sec should do it.
About the author: Meredith Peddie is a Heart Foundation Research Fellow in the Department of Human Nutrition at the University of Otago, Dunedin , New Zealand. Her research focuses on the health benefits of breaking up sitting time with regular activity breaks, with a particular focus on carbohydrate and fat metabolism. You can find out more on Dr Peddie at her University of Otago profile page.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl in search of a sixth title.
They'll face a Philadelphia Eagles team looking for their first Lombardi Trophy.
Brady led the Patriots back from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 in the AFC championship game.
The Patriots will try to match the Pittsburgh Steelers' six Super Bowl trophies when they face the Eagles in Minneapolis.
Nick Foles, the backup QB who was thrust into the starting role when Carson Wentz blew out his left knee last month, led the Philadelphia to a 38-7 rout of the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game.
Oddsmakers like the chances of Brady winning a sixth Super Bowl ring.
The Patriots and Eagles, who last won an NFL title in 1960, several years before the first Super Bowl, met in the Super Bowl after the 2004 season with the Patriots prevailing 24-21.
It's the eighth Super Bowl appearance for Brady and coach Bill Belichick, who have won five times — including last year's 34-28 overtime rally against the Falcons.
"It's pretty amazing," Brady said. "Just to be on a team that wins these kinds of games, it's just a great accomplishment."

Sir2 H116Y mutant-p53 peptide-NAD
Structural highlights
[P53_HUMAN] Note=TP53 is found in increased amounts in a wide variety of transformed cells. TP53 is frequently mutated or inactivated in about 60% of cancers. TP53 defects are found in Barrett metaplasia a condition in which the normally stratified squamous epithelium of the lower esophagus is replaced by a metaplastic columnar epithelium. The condition develops as a complication in approximately 10% of patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and predisposes to the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Defects in TP53 are a cause of esophageal cancer (ESCR) [MIM:133239]. Defects in TP53 are a cause of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) [MIM:151623]. LFS is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome that in its classic form is defined by the existence of a proband affected by a sarcoma before 45 years with a first degree relative affected by any tumor before 45 years and another first degree relative with any tumor before 45 years or a sarcoma at any age. Other clinical definitions for LFS have been proposed (PubMed:8118819 and PubMed:8718514) and called Li-Fraumeni like syndrome (LFL). In these families affected relatives develop a diverse set of malignancies at unusually early ages. Four types of cancers account for 80% of tumors occurring in TP53 germline mutation carriers: breast cancers, soft tissue and bone sarcomas, brain tumors (astrocytomas) and adrenocortical carcinomas. Less frequent tumors include choroid plexus carcinoma or papilloma before the age of 15, rhabdomyosarcoma before the age of 5, leukemia, Wilms tumor, malignant phyllodes tumor, colorectal and gastric cancers.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Defects in TP53 are involved in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) [MIM:275355]; also known as squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Defects in TP53 are a cause of lung cancer (LNCR) [MIM:211980]. LNCR is a common malignancy affecting tissues of the lung. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be divided into 3 major histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell lung cancer. NSCLC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a poor prognosis. Defects in TP53 are a cause of choroid plexus papilloma (CPLPA) [MIM:260500]. Choroid plexus papilloma is a slow-growing benign tumor of the choroid plexus that often invades the leptomeninges. In children it is usually in a lateral ventricle but in adults it is more often in the fourth ventricle. Hydrocephalus is common, either from obstruction or from tumor secretion of cerebrospinal fluid. If it undergoes malignant transformation it is called a choroid plexus carcinoma. Primary choroid plexus tumors are rare and usually occur in early childhood.[11] Defects in TP53 are a cause of adrenocortical carcinoma (ADCC) [MIM:202300]. ADCC is a rare childhood tumor of the adrenal cortex. It occurs with increased frequency in patients with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and is a component tumor in Li-Fraumeni syndrome.[12] Defects in TP53 are the cause of susceptibility to basal cell carcinoma 7 (BCC7) [MIM:614740]. A common malignant skin neoplasm that typically appears on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. It is slow growing and rarely metastasizes, but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. It usually develops as a flat, firm, pale area that is small, raised, pink or red, translucent, shiny, and waxy, and the area may bleed following minor injury. Tumor size can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter.[13]
[NPD_THEMA] NAD-dependent protein deacetylase which modulates the activities of several enzymes which are inactive in their acetylated form. Has also depropionylation activity in vitro. Also able to ADP-ribosylate peptide substrates with Arg or Lys in the +2 position. The role of this function in vivo is not clear.[14] [15] [16] [P53_HUMAN] Acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. In cooperation with mitochondrial PPIF is involved in activating oxidative stress-induced necrosis; te function is largely independent of transcription. Induces the transcription of long intergenic non-coding RNA p21 (lincRNA-p21) and lincRNA-Mkln1. LincRNA-p21 participates in TP53-dependent transcriptional repression leading to apoptosis and seem to have to effect on cell-cycle regulation. Implicated in Notch signaling cross-over. Prevents CDK7 kinase activity when associated to CAK complex in response to DNA damage, thus stopping cell cycle progression. Isoform 2 enhances the transactivation activity of isoform 1 from some but not all TP53-inducible promoters. Isoform 4 suppresses transactivation activity and impairs growth suppression mediated by isoform 1. Isoform 7 inhibits isoform 1-mediated apoptosis.[17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Sirtuin proteins comprise a unique class of NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases. Although several structures of sirtuins have been determined, the mechanism by which NAD+ cleavage occurs has remained unclear. We report the structures of ternary complexes containing NAD+ and acetylated peptide bound to the bacterial sirtuin Sir2Tm and to a catalytic mutant (Sir2Tm(H116Y)). NAD+ in these structures binds in a conformation different from that seen in previous structures, exposing the alpha face of the nicotinamide ribose to the carbonyl oxygen of the acetyl lysine substrate. The NAD+ conformation is identical in both structures, suggesting that proper coenzyme orientation is not dependent on contacts with the catalytic histidine. We also present the structure of Sir2Tm(H116A) bound to deacteylated peptide and 3'-O-acetyl ADP ribose. Taken together, these structures suggest a mechanism for nicotinamide cleavage in which an invariant phenylalanine plays a central role in promoting formation of the O-alkylamidate reaction intermediate and preventing nicotinamide exchange.

Live Audio and Video Webcasts of January 9th Men's and Women's Doubleheader against St. Josephs; and January 30th Men's game against Old Westbury
Farmingdale, NY - The Farmingdale State Athletics Department will be teaming up with Sports Radio Network (www.sportsradionet.com) and T & D Sports Video Productions (www.tdsportsvideo.com) in 2006, to provide live audio and video web-casts of select men's and women's basketball games during the second half of the 2005-06 basketball season.
An audio and video stream of each game will be webcasted live via the internet. All coverage can be accessed from Farmingdale State's (http://www.farmingdalesports.com), Sports Radio Network's (http://www.sportsradionet.com) and T & D Sports Video Productions (http://www.tdsportsvideo.com) official web-sites. The webcasts will also be made available on-demand at the conclusion of the games.
The Video webcasts will offer an exciting change for Farmingdale State's Athletics. Athletic Director Mike Harrington is excited to see the programs improve each year, "we love to expose our student-athletes, at the Division III level its tough to get your name out there, especially since we are a small school who moved up into the NCAA just five years ago." The program is moving in the right direction.
In 2003, Farmingdale State's women's basketball team received a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Last season, the men's basketball team went undefeated in the conference during the regular season. To add to that, Farmingdale State had their first NCAA Champion last year in Indoor Track, they are close to finishing up the new baseball stadium and just added women's lacrosse as the 16th Intercollegiate sport. According to Associate AD Tom Azzara, "the department is excited to broaden the exposure of our athletics programs and we hope to expand further after seeing the type of feedback we receive from the broadcast."
Sports Radio Network will be webcasting Farmingdale State's men's and women's basketball double-header against Skyline Conference rival St. Joseph's College on January 9th, 2006. The broadcast will begin shortly before the women's 5:00pm tip-off, while the men's game will follow, tentatively schedule for 7:00pm. Farmingdale has also decided to broadcast the men's basketball game against SUNY rival, Old Westbury, on Monday, January 30th with coverage beginning shortly before 7:00pm.
"We are excited to team up with Farmingdale State," said play-by-play announcer and Sports Radio Network's CEO Rob Goldenberg. "The internet will give us the ability to offer the most comprehensive coverage possible with our audio and video webcasts of the games, and will also continue to develop the importance of the internet and its emergence as a legitimate form of broadcast media."
Sports Radio Network - a full service broadcasting outlet for amateur and professional sports - has been broadcasting live sporting events and other sports entertainment for the last four years. Using the internet as its medium, the company has reached fans in more than 15 countries, including Canada, Israel, Australia, France, Great Britain, Switzerland and Belgium with their coverage of the United States Basketball League (USBL) and the National Women's Basketball League (NWBL).
For the past ten years, T & D Sports Video Productions, a full service video production company that services high school and college athletic programs with professional video tapes T & D's crystal clear videos have allowed coaches and athletes to analyze their own performances, providing the needed edge to excel on the court.
Their partnership originally began in 2003 when they covered the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC) women's and men's basketball championship games, providing live audio coverage via the internet, as well as distributing the game throughout the tri-state area for a tape-delay television presentation.
This past year T & D Sports and Sports Radio Network teamed up to produce a High School Football Game of the Week exclusively for the internet with. An audio stream of each game was webcasted live via the internet, and then a video stream was aired on a tape-delayed, pay-per-view basis later that same day.
They will be announcing a complete high school basketball schedule later this month.

|Their Ventrac Story
I have approximately 3.5 acres of grass on my property and after finishing a major remodel to the house I was left with 400 tons of earth to keep. My wife and I decided to create a plateau in the middle of our property since it is all uphill from the street with the home on the top. But after trying to cut that new slope with my old Garden tractors and zero turns, I looked for help.
After extensive research I settled on VENTRAC 4231TD with dual wheel kit and 72" deck. My new slope was seeded with Bluegrass and 12 various trees and beds. After my first DEMO with the dual wheel kit I was sold. I was able to mow completely around these beds midslope cutting both on side hill as well as up and down. The control, traction and stability on this slope is amazing.
I can do figure 8's on these slopes where I would barely be able to walk. Very impressive machine... and the hydraulic braking will not allow you to freewheel down those slopes like most hydro tractors will let you do. I feel 100% safe on this machine. The cutting deck is amazing and throws grass very far and never clumps… even in wet grass. I can't wait to try my slip scoop on the 18 Yard of mulch I need for my property. And last season's near record snowfall in Western PA, I can't wait to try the blade on my 600 foot driveway which is all downhill.
|Why they are a Ventrac Fan.
As a homeowner who suffered trying to take care of over 4 acres of hilly terrain, I have found my one tractor solution to take care of my property at last!

I disagree...I get about 90% of my SW goods from WM.
Pegs read $6.64 tonight at a local MN Target. 1 entire cent more than Wal-Mart. Can't get any better/worse I suppose. Twas nice to have a price cut for at least a few weeks. WM still sucks monkey balls in my opinion.
WM would have to get figures first to actually have a price to fluctuate. I'm in awe that almost all of you have WM's selling figures, and Pittsburgh WM's don't have pegs for them... I'm dead serious. I don't know what happened.

Colorado Ninja Warriors go to Las Vegas finals on G4, NBC
[media-credit name="Bill Matlock/G4″ align="alignleft" width="270″][/media-credit]
Colorado is well represented on the G4/NBC series "American Ninja Warrior."
The show will move into its fourth season finals in Las Vegas on Sunday at 7 p.m. on G4, and Monday at 8 p.m. on Channel 9, after great Colorado showings in the regional qualifying and final rounds.
The series, adapted from a Japanese original, is an obstacle course competition that pits "everyday heroes," like school teachers and firemen against one another in a bid to win $500,000 and the American Ninja title.
Jumping Spider, Half Pipe Attack, Spinning Bridge…you name it, they'll fly, ram, balance and flex. The nine local contenders:
Alan Connealy, Broomfield; Jake Smith, Denver; Lorin Ball, Lakewood; Risa Scott, Boulder (pictured); Josh Lobeck, Colorado Springs; Sat Khalsa, Boulder; Brian Arnold, Longmont; Brandon Douglass, Boulder; Paul Kasemir, Longmont.

Albuquerque started seeing the virtuous.com tag on the Launchpad's calendar about three years ago. Working primarily with independent promoters, the advance ticketing service gets props for donating 10 percent of its profits to charities in the communities where the tickets are being sold. In Burque's case, that's Roadrunner Food Bank.
Boston band Throwing Muses created the online service in 1999 to help fans avoid inflated ticket prices for their shows. Billy O'Connell joined Throwing Muses in getting the website off the ground and watched as venues around the country started to catch on.
With slow and steady growth, Virtuous' focus has always been sustainability, O'Connell says. It's not flashy. The website is fairly plain. But with other services' fees and prices hiking to ever higher altitudes, the Virtuous mission of fair prices and just causes seems rare and worthy of praise.
What's your position over there?
I am a founding partner of Virtuous.
Is that what they call you around the office?
(laughs) They call me founding partner—FP for short.
What did you do before this?
I was a label executive. I worked in record companies for years and I managed artists. I managed Throwing Muses and Kristin Hersh.
Did they come to you with this idea?
It was a customer service problem for them. They would hear lots of complaints about high fees. One of the main complaints was that bands didn't share in those fees. "So why take the money from us," the fans used to ask, "if you're not going to see it?" They just didn't like paying money to some stranger who insinuated himself into the transaction. The band [Throwing Muses] really felt they could address the needs of the fans by giving them an alternative.
Your site makes a point of noting that your business practices are just. How are they just?
By being sustainable. We don't take advantage of anyone. Our fees are very low, because they can be low. We're not trying to unjustly gain at the expense of the consumer.
How have you expanded over the years?
Our growth has been slow and steady and generally by word of mouth. When people look into advance ticketing, they don't have many options. They have the well-known big options and they have some smaller, alternative options. When they come across us, whether it's through searches or asking other promoters, we seem compelling to a certain promoter for the fact that our fees are so attractive, and we do tend to keep things pretty real.
Why did you decide to include that charitable component?
It started because this business was started by artists. They wanted to provide ticketing but not get rich off of it ... the responsibility of an artist is to give back to a community. Artists can't exist in a void, really. The community feeds the artist. The artist should feed the community.
Next up?
I can only say in 2007, Virtuous is getting ready to undergo some changes and do some things to make business and life better for small and independent promoters.
What kind of changes?
I don't know if I can get into it right now.
Top-secret changes coming to Virtuous?
(laughs) I don't mean to be cryptic, but if there's a final thought, it's just that Virtuous isn't everything it's going to be right now. We're trying to evolve and stay competitive and bring value to the people that work with us. And we hope to be able to innovate in that way.
With top-secret projects.
With top-secret projects! That's right.

Early morning in the shower, getting ready to head out to watch Sandra's race and to catch up with some friends at Nundah, I still had this little voice in my head telling me I had time to change my mind, get dressed and sign up... I didn't!
I got there and watched the women going around the circuit, had a couple of words with Sandra and went around to see if I could find some familiar faces. It was an Open event with huge prizes and attracted a lot of riders and a good size crowd. It was early and there were marquees, music, the coffee van (love coffee, hate vans), bikes everywhere... the place was buzzing already!
After a few chats here and there, I had this conversation:
Racer: Hi Alberto?
Me: How are you?
Racer: Good! Not racing again?
Me: No, shoulder is still an issue.
Racer: Yeah... We are sick of reading that... in your blog.
Me: ?!?
Racer: You should drink a cup of cement and harden up!!!
Me: Yeah... Have a good race!
Nice. The voice said maybe I should.
The truth is, I felt like going home but it was Sandra's day, I moved on. I am glad I did, apart from an enormous desire to be racing, I felt alright hanging around and chatting and watching the Women's race, then the B Grade race and then the A Grade race. It was a hot morning, people were racing really hard... What an atmosphere!!!!
Sandra's race was really exciting... and fast! She looked calm at the start and got out there to race hard, not just to be dragged around. She raced well for the first few laps but looked like she was struggling to stay with them for the rest. I think she was just a little overwhelmed by the quality of the field and didn't get a better result because she spent a lot of time in the wind and/or at the back. A good experience for her and certainly good training for her main goal next month.
Her report here.
Women's field, Sandra is the second from right
The B Grade was a huge event with 70 to 80 riders. Attacks from the start, small groups trying to stay away, fast sprints. With a bit more organisation it would have looked like a pro field. In one instance and a few metres from where I was sitting, a rider stopped because of a jammed chain, tried unsuccessfully to fix it, looked around and then launched his A$8,000 bike in the air. It landed on the grass. I didn't know what to think of it at first but then it came to my mind that some people have so much disposable income that they can put an act like that without thinking of the consequences... Just like a Pro... field.
When the A Grade riders lined up, it was like always is with them... The teams got called to the front, some of the riders answered a couple of questions, then the rest of the riders, and they were off to a fast show of speed and team tactics. Perhaps the second being one of the biggest differences in between A and B grades. Those guys know how to protect a rider and launch team mates like bullets for a sprint to the line.
Having said that, someone I've raced with a few times sneaked in for an amazing third place beating a lot of the local "pro" riders! Good on you Shaun!!!
No time to watch the presentations, time to go home and get ready for work. On my way out, another quick chat:
Me: Hey, buddy, fast race!
Rider: It was very fast! You are not racing yet...
Me: Perhaps in the road season.
Rider: We are looking forward to have you back in the field.
Me: Thanks, buddy. I am looking forward to race again.
I raced home!
Training goes on...
First session this week, not a very hard one but enough to get me sweating and the heart pumping... I changed the resistance to 4/5, which dropped the cadence to 100-110 rpm. It made more sense as it is not as the High Cadence efforts when I spin at 130+ rpm. And yes, it hurt!
- All out efforts (2'30"; 2'; 1'30";1' and 30") x 2
Time: 1h30m
Virtual dist: 35 km
AvHR: 115 bpm
MaxHR: 161 bpm
The Injured Shoulder
I took another step towards finding out what is wrong with my shoulder. This time a MRI was done to see if they can find any damage to tendons, ligaments or anything else as there is still a sore spot in there and I can't lift much weight with my left arm. Sincerely, I don't know what I want the result to be. If they find something and I have an operation, the recovery is going to be long. If they don't find anything, it is going to be like my other shoulder (I had a similar injury on my R shoulder after crashing in MTB race) and will take a long, long time to heel...
Now I must wait for the specialist to have a look at the "pictures"...

CHICAGO—At what is by many measures a successful PSA-TEC 2010 here, perhaps one of the more anticipated elements of the show was the keynote address by Jeffrey "Skunk" Baxter, a Grammy-winning guitarist and producer and now highly trusted national defense consultant. Just what was this guy going to talk about?

Analyzing Lindy's and Sporting News' Preseason Top 10 RankingsPosted by Chris Johnson on August 30th, 2013
Chris Johnson is an RTC Columnist. He can be reached @ChrisDJohnsonn.
College football's season kickoff Thursday night offered another small reminder that Division I's basketball brethren aren't too far away from getting things started themselves. People have begun analyzing and prognosticating how the upcoming season – expected to be one of college hoops' best in the past decade – will shake out, which teams will win which leagues, who can compete for a national championship, which likely one-and-done freshmen will leave the most memorable imprints on the game. All of this stuff is fun and exciting and at the same time frustratingly titillating, and the rush of emotional anticipation will resonate even more acutely as we move closer to November. Two notable preseason rankings were unveiled this week, and while there will be many of the same rolled out over the next two months, the relative dearth of interesting college hoops news this week was just the invitation I needed to dissect the contents of a pair of speculative team orderings.
The two rankings come courtesy of Sporting News and Lindy's. Nothing about either list was particularly surprising or puzzling, with the inexplicable exception of one certain defending national champion being excluded from one of the top 5s (more on this below). There isn't too much to dig into here, but if it means discussing the best teams entering college basketball this season in a totally speculative context, I'm not going to say no. If there is a fun aspect to the college basketball offseason, it is this: criticizing other people's rankings.
- Talking point No. 1, undoubtedly, is Louisville's shocking No. 7 ranking on Lindy's top 10 list. Not only are the Cardinals expected, in many corners, to compete for a national championship, they bring back the core of the team that won the national championship last season. What compelled the college hoops hive minds at Lindy's to push the Cardinals down six spots from their championship perch, I can't possibly begin to explain. Save for the loss of shot-blocking center Gorgui Dieng, Louisville is just as deep and talented as it was last season. Protecting the rim could be an issue, especially if 6'8″ forward Montrezl Harrell doesn't morph into the formidable post defender Rick Pitino needs to make his high-pressure defense flourish, but the Cardinals should again rank among the nation's top five or so defenses; return one of the most talented backcourts in the country, including Ken Pomeroy's 2012-13 Player of the Year, Russ Smith; and have the added motivation of – and this almost sounds insane, considering where UL finished up last April – trying to dethrone Kentucky from its preseason national championship front-runner status. That rivalry is vicious and impassioned and highly entertaining in any season. Imagine what it will be like this year, with a reloaded Cardinals team and UK welcoming in the most highly rated recruiting class since the Fab Five. The Bluegrass rivalry tangent misses the point, sure, but whatever measure you wish to use to vet Louisville's preseason merits, a No. 7 ranking seems drastically low. Maybe it was a typo (ed. note: European sevens sometimes look like US ones.)?

Winter Is Finally Over. Get Out And Drive.
We've done an article like this before. Longtime readers, go to your archives and dig up the Mar. '99 issue of CC to see the inspiration for this iteration. In it, former staffer Miles Cook and his brother, Wayne, hit as many local cruises as they could in a week's time and lived to tell the tale.
Current staffers who are Midwest transplants can sympathize with those suffering through–and likely just now digging out of–a long, cold, and especially snowy winter. Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes cruising. So, to get you in the mood, we crammed as many cruise nights/car events into as few days as possible as inspiration to get your car ready for summer fun. As we write this, it is the first week of February and, even here in sunny Los Angeles, there aren't cruises every night. Southern Californians are a wimpy bunch, and temperatures below 55 keep people indoors with the windows shuttered tight. That scuttled our plans to attend one cruise per day of the week, but we were able to fill up a CF card or two of cruising pictures over a nine-day span. Like Miles and Wayne did nearly 10 years ago, we hit each spot in a Ford, though this time we took our '03 Crown Victoria instead of the Cook brothers' much-cooler '64 Fairlane. Here's how it went down.
Sunday–The Pomona Swap Meet
OK, right off the bat, we're stretching the rules a bit. The Pomona Swap Meet isn't technically a cruise, and it happens only seven times a year. We're counting it anyway because there wasn't much selling going on, but there were plenty of cars cruising the fairgrounds.
Tuesday–Fuddruckers Lake Forest
We'd never been to this cruise before, but it's been going on in this same Orange County location for 16 years. Hector Rodriguez of Cruise Night Productions, sponsor of the show, apologized for the low turnout of about 40 cars. "Usually we'll have about 200 cars here when the weather is nice." (See what we mean!) Still, there was a really good collection of muscle cars here, and they reflect the demographic of the area–there wasn't a primered beater in the lot.
Thursday–Irwindale Raceway
We're fudging the rules again to accommodate a night of drag racing. And really, your local test 'n' tune is just cruising taken to the next level to include such gross displays of horsepower as burnouts, full-throttle acceleration, and plenty of trash talking. With the CC/Rambler fresh off a clutch change, we caravanned with Editor Glad to the track for a night of eighth-mile drag racing.
Friday is Bob's night, as in Bob's Big Boy in Burbank. This is a legendary cruise spot in Los Angeles County, and Bob's has been hosting a Friday night cruise for decades. The restaurant itself opened in 1949 and is the oldest remaining Bob's Big Boy in the U.S. Architect Wayne McAllister penned its swoopy, space-age design that is so distinctive-looking today among the surrounding office buildings and generic shopping centers. Because of its popularity, you'll see a little of everything at Bob's–from million-dollar Shelby Cobras to rat rods that look like they were built for less than the cost of a Big Boy burger, there's always something cool to look at and interesting people to talk to.
Saturday–Donut Derelicts
This is another long-running Southern California car cruise. It's been taking place every Saturday morning at the corner of Adams and Magnolia in Huntington Beach since 1986. This was our favorite spot of the week. There was a great turnout that morning, and the lot was full of really cool and unique cars and friendly people with absolutely no attitude.
Cars And Coffee
Here's a spot we had high hopes for but were somewhat let down. Cars and Coffee has been happening every Saturday morning at Ford's PAG (Premier Automotive Group) facility in Irvine for a few years now. We'd heard good things about the show but had never been there. We sped out of the Donut Derelicts lot at 9 a.m., heading just a few more miles down the freeway to Irvine. This would be a great show if you're into late-model Japanese sports cars–we've never seen so many Honda S2000s and Acura NSXs together in one place before. But there was very little in the way of American muscle. We hung out for about an hour before calling it quits.

A winner was selected from 168 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
The Art of Feminine Presence
We run classes, workshops and intensive trainings for women who want to increase their personal presence, their feminine energy and who want to grow spiritually (we are not religious, but spiritual). We create a safe place for women to do their deep inner work as they embody more of their feminine power.
I want the overall feel to be artistic, elegant, classy, and feminine, with a touch of hip/modern flair. No cartoon looking images. It can't look like this is about women studying to be prettier and more submissive. It's about women stepping into their authentic confidence no matter what they look like.
Here are some links to my main website. I would like it to match this to a certain degree, but it we will be designing a new site to go with this logo.
I would like this to look good on white background or black.
The women most drawn to this are in their 30's, 40's and 50's and are highly educated. They have been on a personal and spiritual growth path for quite some time, but I do not want it to look "metaphysical" or too "woo-woo."
We haven't decided on the slogan yet, so we will be inserting that ourselves later, so please make room for that.
I have one idea about having a silhouette of a woman on a horizon (Attached image) as the picture image, or a artistic way of portraying a woman's curves. I'd love to see that. Maybe a classy visual of a woman's figure. I am open to any ideas for artistic abstract art that looks feminine and appealing also.
Thanks for participating in this competition.

H3DAPI is an open source haptics software development platform that uses the open standards OpenGL and X3D with haptics in one unified scene graph to handle both graphics and haptics. H3DAPI is cross platform and haptic device independent. It enables audio integration as well as stereography on supported displays.
Unlike most other scene graph APIs, H3DAPI is designed chiefly to support a special rapid development process. By combining X3D, C++ and the scripting language Python, H3DAPI offers three ways of programming applications that offer the best of both worlds – execution speed where performance is critical, and development speed where performance is less critical.
H3DAPI is written in C++, and is designed to be extensible, ensuring that developers possess the freedom and means to customize
and add any needed haptics or graphics features in H3DAPI for their applications.
H3DAPI has been used to develop a diverse range of haptics and multimodal applications in various fields including but not limited to
dental, medical, industrial and visualization. To encourage learning and growth in the use of haptics technology, H3DAPI is open source and released under the GNU GPL license, with options for commercial licensing.

Alan Shearer, Beyonce and Lille
We like the cut of Jamie Cutteridge's jib here at European Football Weekends. So when he offered to write on his recent road trip to France and Spain; we ran the hoover over the red carpet and rolled it out for him....
All good stories begin with a hope, a dream, a vision. This one begins with me sitting up one morning and deciding that I wanted, nay, needed to see Lionel Messi do his thing at the Nou Camp. The desire was one purely born out of lust and desire and hence a plan was made and tickets bought for a weekend in Barcelona to see the side play Bilbao in late February with the plan to sort out flights and accommodation nearer the time.
Simple enough but too simple some would say. Soon after, the Champions League draw was made and threw Lyon and Real Madrid together, putting the Lyon leg a few days after our trip to Barcelona. Consulting a map we saw that this wasn't a million miles away from being off-route and hence plans of a European road trip were formed with a call put out on twitter for those that were keen. Plans to swing by Lille and Zaragoza for games were thrown in as well as a day in Paris, and we were set to go, joined my friends of mine Ben and Andy and friends of the internet Tom Goulding and Chris 'The Equaliser' Mann, Europe was ours to conquer in a way not seen since the 1940s.
Of course all great journeys need a vehicle worthy of such a voyage, and far from the expected plane, ours became an old Honda estate nicknamed Beyonce (It has a big boot(y) and can get 'junk in the trunk) but also known as Emile (Big, slow, not as good as it was 10 years ago but still vaguely useful).
I don't think we were ready for this Jelly
I could fill many a piece with anecdotes, hilarious comments and japes that we got ourselves into, but in reality, they would never be as amusing in print and it would just be a little bit smug wouldn't it. Instead, here are some highlights, a taste of our trip, the good, the bad and Alan Shearer's autobiography.
The man loves scoring goals
And Shearer's autobiography seems the perfect place to start. Picked up at Dover Ferry terminal on tape (Weirdly, the only cassette they were selling) for the bargain price of £8.99 is served as the perfect soundtrack for our drive to Paris on glorious French afternoon. Highlights include Shearer's puzzle at a 20-word 'brainteaser' (his word) as a child about why he wanted to meet Kevin Keegan, his meetings with Alex Ferguson to discuss a transfer under the guise of a Bryan Adam's concert, the wonderful hostess that is David Platt's mother-in-law and the one point of genuine interest that Shearer was offered the player-manager's job at Blackburn in an effort from Jack Walker to keep to him at the club.
Carried upon the wings of Alan (who for your information 'just loves scoring goals') we arrived in Paris before retracing our steps back up north to Lille for that evening's Europa league fixture between the hosts and PSV. An interesting fact about Lille is that they are currently 'between stadiums.' The old Stade Metropole is currently a pile of rubble, whilst the new one, baring the same name, is currently under construction. In the meantime Lille occupy another stadium which, in their infinite wisdom, they have given the same name to this interim ground, but surely there would be enough information on the interweb to avoid confusion?
No. No there is not. So after a two-hour drive to Lille we arrived at the Stade Metropole, sure we were 40 minutes before kickoff, but the area seemed quiet and the ground was a pile of bricks, being men full of nous we immediately realised that this would not be the scene of a game that evening, and so panicked and drove around Lille for a while searching for any sign of life, or floodlights. Eventually the ground was discovered just before the game was kicked off, but another interesting fact about Lille is that all car parks around the ground require a match ticket for entry. Once we eventually dumped the car nearby our fate was sealed by another fact, that UEFA regulations prevents tickets being sold after kickoff. Yes, our trip to Lille was wasted, a desperate search for touts resulted in two tickets, but solidarity between the five us prevented us taking them and despite seeing one goal through a gap in the fence we departed Lille having failed to take in our first game of football. Not even a re-listen of Alan Shearer could lighten our mood on the way back to Paris (Yes map fans, a silly route), it was easy for Alan, all that mattered to him was scoring goals, we couldn't even make it around France....
Here's what I think of your world famous art gallery
Day 2 arrived and was the only day of our trip with no sport planned, and hence if you're reading this site you probably won't care about our time in Paris, however, as you may expect, football reared its beautiful head. The day was spent perusing the sights of France's capital (or in the case of Jamie flicking Vs at the famous bits "Showing them what I thought of it") and we decided to round off the day by hiring bikes and cycling up the Champs Elysees Tour De France style (an unnamed member of our party shouted that they were a 'more virile Lance Armstrong, and by unnamed, I mean me), round l'arc de Triomphe and down the Eiffel Tower. Two of us decided to catch the metro to the tower, avoiding the bikes, and so when we reconvened under the tower we were delighted to find they had bought a football. It was kicked around a little bit before 5 French lads came over and challenged us to a game, England/France style, an offer too good to refuse.
Game 1- England 1-0 France
A perfect setting under the Eiffel Tower for this game as the touring England side took on the home team. The visitors stayed compact early, putting men behind the ball and sticking rigidly to their formation in a way that would have Sven purring. Les Blues tested the keeper early on but eventually the ball broke to Cutteridge (1 international cap - 1 goal) who slotted the ball away with aplomb to give England the lead. England then defended their lead not offering the French a sniff of goal, until the game was halted by a Frenchman with a gun (I should note he was part of the police) giving the English a famous victory on foreign soil.
For Queen and country
The success was celebrated with a trip up the tower followed by beer, snails and steak in the heart of Paris before the overnight trip to Barcelona began.
Spain came into view as we drove through the mountains with the sun coming up on a glorious morning, enough to banish any remnant of Lille-based depression. A long drive fuelled by shifts at wheel, uncomfortable drives and energy drinks gave way to windows down and summer music on the stereo and within a blink of the eye we were in Barcelona, outside the Nou Camp picking up our tickets for the next day. After a quick look inside the gift shop (complete with Jamie showing his vintage Villa shirt with pride) fatigue set in. Rather than stay in the centre we made for the outskirts of town and our hillside hostel, knackered after a long drive and knowing that our first game of the trip was that evening.
Here's what I think of your tika-taka
Game 2 - Real Zaragoza 0-1 Atletico Madrid
Living in England it is sometimes easy to forget that other countries are bigger than our own, and so when looking at a map of Spain, Zaragoza does not look too far from Barcelona, close enough for a quick nip across country for an evening of football, in reality, it is a long 3 hour drive, but for football? Well worth it. Myself, Tom and Chris made our way through the Spanish countryside whilst Ben and Andy headed for the centre of Barcelona for an authentic Spanish evening spent in the, erm, Hard Rock Cafe.
A lovely bit of Spanish glamour
After seeing in the day in the car as the sun rose driving South, as the sun set we were heading West with a less picturesque view as the rain fell. We arrived in Zaragoza and made our way to La Romareda where (Thanks to Danny and this site) our press passes were waiting. Clearly the fact we were English was enough as no names or ID was asked for and we were shown to our own press box (some seats behind a bench) complete with passes and teamsheets which was all well and good until we realised that we had no pen, nor paper to at least create a pretence of being 'press,' and so a Tom headed back to the car in search of anything to make us appear legit. With the wi-fi code secured (relief for our mounting 3g bill on our phones) we were ready for kickoff between two teams having less than stellar seasons. Madrid lay in mid-table despite having one of the most talented front partnerships in world football of Diego Forlan and Kun Aguero whilst Zaragoza were situated perilously on the edge of the relegation zone.
Actual match action
The first half was lively and played at a really high tempo, Zaragoza controlled a lot of possession with the midfield pair of Gabi and Ponzio impressing whilst Madrid looked more threatening despite an odd long ball tactic towards such a skilful strike due. The one clear cut chance fell to Aguero but he couldn't quite find enough space to squeeze it past the keeper and so at halftime it was scoreless. Clearly the best two players on the pitch were Forlan and Kun and the big question in the second half was whether Madrid could get them the ball enough to win the game.
Food and drink was needed, however as I went to order I suddenly realised quite how limited my grasp of the local language was meaning I inadvertently ended up with 2 ham sandwiches and 2 cokes, I have no idea what I wanted, but it was not that.
Fully fed and watered we were ready for the second half as were Zaragoza as they pushed straight from the off, somehow the ball didn't go in following a goal mouth scramble and Madrid went straight up the other end, Forlan feeding the ball to Aguero who beat his man (the aforementioned Ponzio) and belting on into the far corner from a tight angle. It was just about deserved, and came from a touch of class that the hosts lacked.
The rest of the game comprised of heaps of pressure from Zaragoza but very little to show from it until the last few minutes where they managed to hit the bar twice, from subs Uche and Bertolo, by far Los Blanquillos most exciting players. Nay it was not enough and Madrid saw out a win that they hoped would shoot them upwards whilst Zara were forced to face downwards. A fine evening's football and due to ridiculous kickoff times in Spain a long drive back to Barcelona after a midnight finish that was entirely uneventful aside from Chris almost falling asleep at the wheel. Sleep was welcome, with more football to come over the coming days, with 3 of the planets greatest teams to see. Kerouac may have driven more, but he never came across Leo Messi on his travels and that smug satisfaction saw us cosy in our beds.
In Part 2, which is coming soon, Mr Goulding takes us through two games featuring players from the adverts.

[Relationship between the growth rate of the liver of young rats and the inhibitory effect of extracts of their liver on the multiplication of cultured cells].
Aujard, C; Chany, E; Frayssinet, C
We have shown that extracts of liver from young Rats are less active, than extracts of liver from adult Rats , in inhibiting the multiplication of cells in culture. This inhibitory activity is at a minimum in livers taken from 10 to 15 days old Rats , which corresponds to the time of maximum increase in weight of the liver . The existence of an inverse relationship between the inhibitory activity of these extracts and the state of proliferation of the liver suggests that the inhibitory substance contained in the liver extracts may act as a regulator of growth of the organ.
Mesenchymal stem cells: In vivo therapeutic application ameliorates carbon tetrachloride induced liver fibrosis in rats .
Raafat, Nermin; Abdel Aal, Sara M; Abdo, Fadia K; El Ghonaimy, Nabila M
Egypt has the highest prevalence of hepatitis C virus in the world with infection rate up to 60%, for which liver fibrosis or hepatic carcinoma is the final outcome. Stem cell therapy provides a new hope for hepatic repair instead of traditional treatment, liver transplantation, as it is safer, gives long term engraftment and avoid expensive immunosuppressive drugs and unexpected hazardous effects. This work aimed at determining the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in hepatic repair as a new line of therapy for liver fibrosis. 33 female albino rats were divided into three groups: Group I: 10 rats injected subcutaneously with olive oil, Group II: 13 rats injected with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and Group III: 10 rats injected with CCl4 then bone marrow derived MSC from male rats . Blood and liver tissue samples were taken from all rats for biochemical and histological study. Liver functions for group II rats showed significant deterioration in response to CCl4 in addition to significant histological changes in liver lobules and portal areas. Those parameters tend to be normal in MSC-treated group. Group III rats revealed normalized liver function and histological picture. Meanwhile, most of the pathological lesions were still detected in rats of second group. Undifferentiated MSCs have the ability to ameliorate CCl4 induced liver injury in albino rats in terms of liver functions and histological features. So, stem cell therapy can be considered clinically to offer a hope for patients suffering from liver fibrosis. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Rice endosperm protein slows progression of fatty liver and diabetic nephropathy in Zucker diabetic fatty rats .
Kubota, Masatoshi; Watanabe, Reiko; Yamaguchi, Miki; Hosojima, Michihiro; Saito, Akihiko; Fujii, Mikio; Fujimura, Shinobu; Kadowaki, Motoni
We previously reported that rice endosperm protein (REP) has renoprotective effects in Goto-Kakizaki rats , a non-obese diabetic model. However, whether these effects occur in obese diabetes remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the effects of REP on obese diabetes, especially on fatty liver and diabetic nephropathy, using the obese diabetic model Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats . In total, 7-week-old male ZDF rats were fed diets containing 20 % REP or casein (C) for 8 weeks. Changes in fasting blood glucose levels and urinary markers were monitored during the experimental period. Hepatic lipids and metabolites were measured and renal glomeruli were observed morphologically. HbA1c levels were significantly lower in rats fed REP, compared with C (P<0·05). Compared with C in the liver , REP prevented lipid accumulation (total lipid, TAG and total cholesterol, P<0·01). Liver metabolome analysis indicated that levels of metabolites associated with glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway and carnitine metabolism were significantly greater in the REP group than in the C group (P<0·05), suggesting activation of both glucose catabolism and fatty acid oxidation. The metabolite increases promoted by REP may contribute to suppression of liver lipid accumulation. Urinary excretion of albumin and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase was significantly reduced in rats fed REP for 8 weeks (P<0·01). In addition, there was a distinct suppression of mesangial matrix expansion and glomerular hypertrophy in response to REP (P<0·01). Thus, REP had preventive effects on obese diabetes, fatty liver and diabetic nephropathy.
Agaricus blazei Murill extract abrogates CCl4-induced liver injury in rats .
Wu, Ming-Fang; Hsu, Yu-Ming; Tang, Ming-Chu; Chen, Hsueh-Chin; Chung, Jing-Gung; Lu, Hsu-Feng; Lin, Jing-Pin; Tang, Nou-Ying; Yeh, Chun; Yeh, Ming-Yang
Agaricus blazei Murill (ABM) is enriched with polysaccharides, lipids, vitamins, fibers and minerals. Many studies have shown that ABM possesses immune-enhancing and anti-tumor effects. However, little is known about its protective effects on liver function. We employed carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) to induce hepatic fibrosis in a rat model to examine the protective effects of ABM on the liver in this study. The experiments included non-treatment control, CCl(4)-only control, and treatment with 200 mg and 2,000 mg of ABM extracts (per kilogram rat weight). All groups other than the non-treatment control were treated with intraperitoneal injections of CCl(4) twice a week. Experimental and control rats were tube-fed with experimental ABM extracts or double-distilled water, respectively, on the remaining four days each week. The whole experimental protocol lasted 8 weeks; blood and liver samples were collected for biochemical and tissue histochemical analysis. Plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and the activities of the anti-oxidative enzymes glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase in the liver were measured. We found that high-dose ABM treatment reduced hepatic necrosis and fibrosis caused by CCl(4) in comparison with the CCl(4) control group. ALT and AST activities in the sera collected from ABM-treated rats were lower than those in the CCl(4) control rats . These results suggested that ABM extract was capable of either enhancing liver recovering from CCl(4) damage or attenuating CCl(4) toxicity. Results of anti-oxidative enzyme activity analysis showed no apparent differences among ABM-treated groups and CCl(4) control groups, indicating that removal of free radicals does not explain the protective/recovery effects observed in this study.
