French:
et voici le coup franc tranversale
Oh, trop fort !
Hé, vous qui voulaient toujours savoir à quoi je suis mauvais
Eh bien, nous avons trouvéclasses. Then $C^d_{\AH}(X)$ is $G(K)-$stable and the action of $G(K)$ on $C^d_{\AH}(X)$ does not depend on $\ell$ and factors through a finite quotient; cf. [@Deligne], Prop. 2.9b. Since $W_{k,X}$ consists of Hodge classes and $X$ is an abelian variety, all Weil classes are absolute Hodge classes, i.e, $W_{k,X}\subset C^d_{\AH}(X),$ [@Deligne], Th. 2.11. This implies easily that the subgroup $\Im(\chi_{X,k,\ell})$ is finite and contained in $k^*$, since the intersection of $W_{k,X}\otimes_{\Q}\Q_{\ell}$ and $C^d_{\AH}(X)$ coincides with $W_{k,X}$. (In fact, $W_{k,X}$ coincides even with the intersection of $W_{k,X}\otimes_{\Q}\Q_{\ell}$ and $H^{2d}(X(\C),\Q)(d)$.) This implies also that $\chi_{X,k,\ell}$ does not depend on the choice of $\ell$. So, we may view $\chi_{X,k,\ell}$ as the continuous homomorphism $$\chi_{X,k}:=\chi_{X,k,\ell}:G(K) \to \mu_k \subset k^*,$$ which does not depend on the choice of $\ell$.

Let $r$ be the order of


\mu_{3,\ell}\cdot \Id\}.$$ Let $\sigma \in G(L)$ with $\rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)=\zeta\Id, \quad \zeta \in
\mu_{3,\ell}.$ If $\zeta=1$ , i.e., $\rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)=\Id$ then all elements of $V_{\ell}(X)$ are $\sigma-$invariant. Since $\mu_{3,\ell}=\{1,\gamma,\gamma^{-1}\}$, we may assume that $\zeta=\gamma$, i.e., $\rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)=\gamma\cdot \Id$ and therefore $\det \rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)=\gamma^2=\gamma^{-1}.$ Then $$\rho_{\ell,X}(\sigma)(w)=$$ $$\iota(\pri_3(\det \rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)))(\rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)(\gamma^2
v),\rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)(\gamma  v), \rho_{\ell,E}(\sigma)( v))=\iota(\gamma^2)(\gamma w)=$$ $$s^2(\gamma w)=\gamma s^2 w=\gamma\gamma^{2} w=w.$$

This proves that $w$ is $G(L)-$invariant.

Now, I claim that $X(L)$ contains infinitely many points, whose order is a power of $\ell$. Indeed, starting with a non-divisible element $v \in T_{\ell}(E)$ and identifying the group $X_{\ell^n}$ with the quotient $T_{\ell}(X)/\ell^n T_{\ell}(X)$, we get a $L-$rational point $(\gamma^2 v,\gamma v,v)\mod\ell^n T_{\ell}(X)  \in T_{\ell}(X)/\ell^n
T_{\ell}(X)=X_{\ell^n}$ of order $\ell^n$.

Another Example
===============

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field with class number $1$ and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\Q$ such that $\End_K(E)=O_K$degree $[E^{(\ell)}:K]$ tends to infinity while $\ell$ tends to infinity.

If $\TORS(X(L))$ is infinite then $L$ contains an infinite abelian subextension of $K$.

First, we may and will assume that $X$ is $K-$simple, i.e., the center $F$ of the endomorphism algebra of $X$ is a number field.

Second, there is a positive integer $d$, enjoying the following property:

If $m$ is a positive integer such that $\varphi(m) \le 2g=2\dim(X)$ then $d$ is divisible by $m$.

Third, let $\lambda$ be a prime ideal in $O_F$ dividing a prime number $\ell$. Then, in the notations of Section 1 the following statement is true.

1.  The composition $$\pi_{\lambda}:=(\det_{F_{\lambda}} \rho_{\lambda,X})^d:G(K) \to
    \Aut_{F_{\lambda}}V_{\lambda}(X) \to {F_{\lambda}}^* \to
    {F_{\lambda}}^*$$ is an abelian representation of $G(K)$ unramified outside divisors of $\ell$.

2.  For all but


that $(\prod_{i\in S_{\lambda}}\alpha_i)\in
    O_F$ and the group $\Im(\pi_{\lambda})$ contains $\prod_{i\in
    S_{\lambda}}\alpha_i$.

-   For all but finitely many $\lambda$ the subgroup $\Im(\bar{\pi}_{\lambda})$ contains $(\prod_{i\in S_{\lambda}}\alpha_i)\mod \lambda \in (O_F/\lambda)^*$.

Indeed, let us choose a prime ideal $\mathbf v$ in the ring $O_K$ of all algebraic integers in $K$ such that $X$ has good reduction at $\mathbf
v$. Let $$Fr_{\mathbf v} \in \Im(\rho_{\lambda,X}) \subset \Aut_{F_{\lambda}}V_{\lambda}(X)$$ be [*Frobenius element*]{} $Fr_{\mathbf v}$ at $\mathbf v$ (defined up to conjugacy)[@Serre],[@RibetA]. Then the set of its eigenvalues belongs to $F(a)$, does not depend on the choice of $\lambda$ and satisfies all the desired properties with $p$ the residual characteristic of $\mathbf v$ and $q=\#(O_K/{\mathbf v})$([@Shimura], Ch. 7, Prop. 7.21 and proof of Prop. 7.23).

We know that there exists $\lambda$ dividingthe reagent-serverside.home we just created.

(ns reagent-serverside.handler (:require ... [reagent-serverside.home :refer [items home-page]]))

We'll now have to write the functions that will traverse the components and render them as appropriate. We'll attach a :data-reactid key to each one to give it an identifier that React looks for, and inject the result into our Hiccup markup.

(defn react-id-str [react-id] (assert (vector? react-id)) (str "." (clojure.string/join "." react-id))) (defn set-react-id [react-id element] (update element 1 merge {:data-reactid (react-id-str react-id)})) (defn normalize [component] (if (map? (second component)) component (into [(first component) {}] (rest component)))) (defn render ([component] (render [0] component)) ([id component] (cond (fn? component) (render (component)) (not (coll? component)) component (coll? (first component)) (map-indexed #(render (conj id %1) %2) component) (keyword? (first component)) (let [[tag opts & body] (normalize component)] (->> body (map-indexed


#(render (conj id %1) %2)) (into [tag opts]) (set-react-id id))) (fn? (first component)) (render id (apply (first component) (rest component)))))) (reset! items (range 10)) (def mount-target [:div#app (render home-page)])

The render function will recursively walk the components evaluating any functions it finds and assigning the React id to each element.

Next, we'll set the items atom to a range of numbers, and then call render inside the mount-target to generate the markup.

Rendering on the Client

Finally, let's navigate to the reagent-serverside.core namespace in the src/cljs source path. We'll update it to reference the home namespace we created and render the home-page component on load.

(ns reagent-serverside.core (:require [reagent.core :as reagent :refer [atom]] [reagent-serverside.home :refer [items home-page]])) (defn mount-root [] (reagent/render [home-page] (.getElementById js/document "app"))) (defn init! [] (reset! items (range 20)) (mount-root))

Whenscapegoat, and Mitt Romney with a turnkey operation in a suddenly-competitive state:

Maureen Dowd of the New York Times dismissed Obama on Sunday as someone who “prefers to float above, at a reserve, in grandiose mists.” When the likes of Dowd are no longer feeling the love, we shouldn’t be surprised that other Democrats are dumping on Obama for not showing up to help Barrett in Wisconsin. “Progressive Pundits Lay Groundwork to Blame Obama if Wisconsin Recall Fails” was the headline of a searing critique by Noah Rothman at Mediaite. He quoted Ed Schultz of MSNBC sarcastically noting that the president was in neighboring Iowa and Minnesota last week and that his campaign office is in nearby Chicago. “It’s all around, but is it in?” Schultz asked of the


but is it in?” Schultz asked of the Obama campaign. “[Union members] want him on that line because he talked about being on that line with them back in 2007.” Schultz closed his plea for an Obama visit by saying it is the “job of a leader” to motivate his followers.

Pssst, Special Ed. Obama doesn’t take off his “bedroom slippers and put on his marching shoes.” That’s what he expects all of you suckas and sycophants to do for him.

Ok how’s about June for the double whammy, huh? Walker wins handily and the SCOTUS rules against obummercare. Triple whammy? Romney bookends another strategic Axeljob propaganda rally before he finds the traitor in his ranks.

We once had a local election with a outspoken anti-tax (Conservative) town trooper parking histhe enormous power & greed of public unions.

Prediction: Walker loses a close race when Milwaukee, under DOJ supervision, reports a 5,000,000 to O vote in favor of Barrett. A recount will be demanded, but, unfortunately, won’t take place because all the city’s ballots will be destroyed, when the building they are housed in, accidentally burns down.

In another twist, an amendment was passed by
the UK parliament giving MPs the right to a final
say on how the UK should proceed if the Brexit
deal is voted down.
No-Brexit would retain the status quo for Britons
in France and ensure future generations could
continue to come to the country freely to work or

Jane Hanks discovers a
few of the secrets of an
award-winning author
of children’s books

P

auline Kalioujny writes and
illustrates children’s books.
She has won two awards in
2018 for her book Promenons
Nous Dans Les Bois – the Prix
Pitchou at the Fête du Livre de Jeunesse
at Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Drôme,
and the Grand Prix de l’Illustration
awarded at the Museum of Children’s
Illustrations at Moulins, Alliers.
She is an established author/illustrator
and publishes books regularly. Baba Yaga
came out in October, and she has another
book due for release for the Spring.
However, as she explained, it is a long
road from loving to draw as a child to
having a book published with your name
on the cover:

into what may or may not eventually
become a complete book. I have a sketch

book and little by little a character might
emerge. Some ideas have to be discarded
along the way and others might suddenly
grow when I see or hear something
which adds to it, or observe a child who
acts in the way I think my character
would act. It is a very long process.
For example, I am obsessed by flowers,
and the way they are constructed and I
draw them all the time.
For several years, I have wanted to
include them as a
theme for a book, and
now I have eventually
come up with an idea
that a publisher has
accepted, about a young
person who goes into a
garden and is confronted
by the different characters
of the flowers and what
they represent.
Now I am doing the illustrations and it should come

Not all the hospital’s patients are a
direct result of the conflict: “We look
after both military and civil casualties,
as there is no longer any other hospital
in the region with facilities for surgery.
“Some patients are war wounded, either
by bullets, shrapnel or by mines, as there
are several of these around. We have
operated on a man for bullet and shrapnel wounds who was 110, and a
seven-month-old baby who had been
shot in the stomach.
“One young boy arrived with a tourniquet around his leg, following a shrapnel
wound. We were able to save his leg and
afterwards he was able to return to his
home. We have Yemen staff and there
was a wonderful physiotherapist, Farouk,
who took great care of him. We also do
other, ‘classic’ surgery for the local population, such as removing appendix


and
caesareans so the work is varied.”

from Spain. Overall olive oil prices are
going up and due to climatic problems
2016/2017 was disastrous with just 3,000
tonnes produced compared to 6,000
tonnes in 2015/2016.
It is thought this


six
producers to do so in 2017.
“In February, where I live at Zilia up in
the mountains of the Balagna region in
the North east, the olives start to ripen
up. I put nets around the trees and let the
olives fall naturally when they are ripe.
Every evening I check the nets and nearly
every day I have enough to take to the
mill.”
Because all the olives are ripe when they
are collected the resulting oil is soft and
rounded with hints of the flavours of the
surrounding aromatic plants which the
fruit readily absorbs. The disadvantage is
that it is labour intensive and as the tree is
left to its natural life cycle it only produces fruit every two years.
“For me it is a positive decision to let
the trees continue to live at their own
rhythm”, says Mr Cartayrade. “I donot
water them or add fertiliser, though I
have to treat them against the olive fruit
fly, but only when absolutely necessary. I
think it gives a better oil, less bitter and
more in line with tradition.”
From 60 trees, he produces between
1,500 and 2,000 litres, which sells quickly because of its quality, but he cannot
make a living wage from it and has
a daytime job.

but we are
still talking about relatively
small differences. At the bottom end, with millions of
similar bottles, plastic
corks and cheap labels it
probably costs about 30c
per bottle. For a small run
with heavy-weight, custom
bottles and the most expensive corks and labels, we
could be reaching €4.50.
So we can work out that making a
basic wine from the highest-yielding,
mechanised vineyard and cutting as
many costs as possible in the winery and
packaging, we arrive at a figure around
€0.55. Meanwhile a low-yielding, meticulously hand-tended vineyard whose
fruit is handled in small volumes with
ageing in new barrels and packaged in
the most luxurious fashion could cost as
much as €12 to produce.
So that gives us some idea of how the
cost of producing a wine can vary. Yet it
does not explain why some wines cost
considerably more than €12 to buy.
That is because wecosts
were the salaries of the consultant winemaker and the salesman.
When you consider all those factors, it
is easy to see how a wine can easily triple
in cost before it reaches the consumer.
However, the value of a bottle of wine
is not how much it costs, it is how much
people are prepared to pay for it. Next
month I will talk about how that value
can be distorted and what good value
actually means in the world of wine.

French company Pixter has developed
a range of premium add-on lenses.
The company was founded in 2015 by

who wanted to create simple to use and
easy to transport photo lenses to boost
creative photography.
There is a lens to suit every budget and level
of photography expertise – with prices ranging

How is an inguinal hernia diagnosed?
An inguinal (groin) hernia appears as a
swelling in the groin, which corresponds with the passage of the intestines through the inguinal canal. It is
usually painless and often disappears
when the patient stretches, or presses
on the swelling.
A inguinal hernia may remain asymptomatic for years but it will only grow
and cannot heal spontaneously. The
most serious complication is strangulation: the intestines stuck in the hernia
can lose blood supply (necrosis); in this
case, emergency surgery is required.
How long does the operation take?
Two types of surgery are possible: by
an incision of the groin (which can be
done under local anaesthesia) or by

laparoscopy (under general anaesthesia). The laparoscopy is minimally invasive and is less painful for thearrange for UK purchases to be delivered to you

Château de
Pechrigal – where Ferré lived
from1963 until 1968 – stands
three kilometres outside the
village of Gourdon.
Pech-Rigal means royal hill
in old local French dialect,
befitting its hilltop position.
The 67-hectare plot includes
meadows, tennis courts, a pool
and half a hectare of Merlot
vineyards, giving 4,000 bottles
of wine a year.
The chateau, a grand affair of
17 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms,
guard house, pigeonnier, wine
cellar, restored farmhouse and
two outhouses, was bought
and renovated by a Frenchman
in 1998.
He transformed the
crumbling property into a
luxurious second home,
occasionally used for private
events and weddings.
It had fallen into disrepair
after rebel composer Ferré left
it unlived-in for 25 years.
Ferré, born to bourgeois
parents in Monaco, escaped his
strict Christian upbringing to
live in Rome and then Paris,
where he fell into intellectual
life and composing music.
In Paris, he hung out with the
likes of André Breton, Jean
Cocteau, Jacques Prévert and
Juliette Gréco, whose all-black

needles should

Today, she said, many vaccines do
not contain living cells which could
cause a medical reaction, let alone an
illness. Where live vaccines are still
used, they often use only parts of cells
so they cannot cause the actual
disease – though they can, rarely, lead
to a slight reaction.
She says: “The problem is if
someone catches a cold while sitting
in the doctor’s waiting room waiting
to be vaccinated, they might blame
the vaccination – which is medically
impossible – rather than connect it to
having sat near someone who is ill.”

She says the truth about vaccinations is that they work, they save lives,
and they are the safest, most-tested
drugs currently used in medicine –
and they do not cause autism or
auto-immune diseases. Due to
vaccination, the last known case of

smallpox was seen in 1977, and it was
declared eradicated in 1980.
Vaccinations carry fewer risks than
paracetamol or ibuprofen. “But people
can feel an immediate benefit when
they take paracetamol, so they accept
the small risk. Often, they think their
children won’t come into contact with
a serious disease, so why bother
vaccinating them?”
But she issued a note of warning:
“Not all diseases can be wiped out. It
will be possible to eradicate polio and
measles, for example, because they are
only carried by humans, but tetanus
will never be eradicated because it’s
present in all soil, and you can’t

In July 2017 the UK Supreme Court clarified the circumstances in which the monopoly granted by a patent could be widened beyond the normal interpretation of the claim to cover variants which have no material effect on the way the invention works.

This judgment is regarded as introducing a ‘doctrine of equivalents’ into English patent law, which has the effect of broadening the claim for infringement purposes beyond its normal meaning to include immaterial variants (or equivalents). See our article on the Supreme Court case – Actavis UK Ltd and others v Eli Lilly and Company - here.

Despite progress in configuration and flexibility and the greater availability of different devices compared to a decade ago, shortcomings of specific endovascular grafts including collapse, migration, or dislodgment have not been fully resolved. Nowadays the selection of patients on the basis of favourable anatomy and pathology is the key for the success of the procedure. Not all patients have lesions amenable to stent-graft repair (contraindications for endovascular treatment of thoracic aorta are still not marginal and mainly defined by anatomical constraints) and thoracic endografting is technically challenging, requiring dedicated facilities and experienced specialists. This paper discusses the different configurations and models of stent-graft for thoracic aortic disease as well as the still existing shortcomings.causes of learning and behavioural problems, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, this is a very difficult area to study and there is currently only limited scientific information on the subject.

A small number of studies have looked at development, behaviour, and learning in children whose mothers took paracetamol during pregnancy. These studies are summarised below:

Studies of ADHD-like behaviour:• One small study of 4 year olds showed no link between exposure to paracetamol in the womb and problems with attention.

• One large study of 3 year olds showed a possible link between being exposed in the womb to paracetamol for more than 28 days and higher activity levels.

• One large study of children who were assessed at 5 and then again at

The studies described above do not provide convincing scientific evidence that taking paracetamol in pregnancy causes problems with learning and behaviour the child. A number of doctors and scientists who are recognised experts in this subject have raised concerns about the quality of some of these studies, including the ways in which the information was collected and analysed, and the fact that other factors (such as the illness in the mother that paracetamol was being used to treat) could have caused the effects seen in children exposed in the womb to paracetamol. It has been widely reported in the media that these studies have shown that paracetamol use in pregnancy causes behavioural problems in the child. However, many expertsIn spite of these
tough times, some hotels are doing better than others and a few hotels are
actually doing quite well. This anomaly sparked my curiosity; was this
solely a result of local market variations or could it be a result of better
management aptitude in some hotels?

My conclusion is that
it is more than likely a combination of both factors. As hoteliers, we have
little control over market conditions, but total control over how we conduct
business and how we react to market variations. It's a matter of how well
hotel managers deal with fluctuations in the marketplace and how well they
lead their teams during tough times.

And we said, Let's just make this a real world. Let's let it have a real economy and let's make property have real value. There was a lot of buzz around that.

That evolved over time into the work system that we have today. We have this huge database of stuff to do. You choose your own work from it. So groups are formed more organically.

The biggest way you avoid that is you continue to make everybody entrepreneurial, which is easy to say--everybody says garbage like that in big companies.

The lengthy title track opens proceedings with a speedy riff outta the 80's accented by some tasty guitar leads, before going through some twists and turns that harken back to the first two Mercyful Fate opuses. PJ Berlinghof's vocals acrobatically maneuver throughout the various changes, mixing clean, screech and deranged vox adeptly.

'Haunted' follows with another NWOBHM headbanger of a riff, Berlinghof again nailing the vocals, especially during the crazed mid-section. 'Night Terrors' closes things out, a more commercial track that could best be described as being similar to something off of Dio's Holy Diver. Catchy as all hell, it would fit nicely on Ozzy's Boneyard and the like.interested in hearing about the novel. Interested in reading ot, too, someday.

The story is rich enough that lots of variations would work - Hook's point of view, certainly. Has there been a girl's version? Toss out the pirates and Indians and replace them with - well, whatever the girl who won't grow up wants.

"With all reverence for the author of that masterpiece I should say he had a wonderful and tender insight into the child mind and knew nothing whatever about boys. To make only one criticism on that particular work, can you imagine a lot of British boys, or boys of any country that one knows of, who would stay contentedly playing children's games in an underground cave when there were wolves and pirates and Red Indians


WASHINGTON -- Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who has suddenly become Mitt Romney's top challenger for the Republican presidential nomination, raised a provocative question about Romney's Mormon faith in a 2007 newspaper column:

Would the potential attraction to Mormonism by simply having a Mormon in the White House threaten traditional Christianity by leading more Americans to a church that some Christians believe misleadingly calls itself Christian, is an active missionary church, and a dangerous cult?

His next paragraph began: "Assume for the sake of argument that there are valid considerations."

The column was Santorum's response to Romney's famous "Faith in America" address, in which the former Massachusetts governor tried to reassure evangelical Christians and other religious voters that he shared their values. Santorum's ultimate verdict on Romney was more orSummit called Mormonism a "cult."

In an October interview on Fox News, Santorum was asked if he thinks Mormonism is a cult, and he replied, "No, I don't." He added, "I'm not an expert on Mormonism. All I know is that every Mormon I know is a good and decent person, has great moral values and, by and large, with the exception of Harry Reid, by and large, pretty consistent in the values that I share and that things I want to see happen to this country. And that's what he should be judged on."

Santorum has made his fierce adherence to conservative Roman Catholic "family values" a keystone of his campaign, most recently saying he believes states should have the right to outlaw birth control and sodomy without the

mice [@bib6], [@bib7]. Therefore, Mstn appears to be critical for the pathophysiology of muscle loss during cancer progression, although the functional importance of Mstn in regulating the survival and growth of cancer cells remains obscure.

It has been shown that Mstn plays a crucial role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis, where Mstn^--/--^ mice exhibit suppressed body fat accumulation [@bib8]. Furthermore, Burgess et al. observed that Mstn^--/--^ mice were protected from the side effects of consuming high-fat diets, where the mice displayed reduced weight gain and intramuscular fat deposits [@bib9]. Mstn^--/--^ mice also exhibited a significant increase in energy expenditure compared with wild-type mice, which was calculated by measuring the food intake, body composition, and rates of oxygen consumption [@bib10]. Using mouse embryonic fibroblasts isolated fromHeLa and Mstn-deficient cells. As shown in [Fig. 4](#f0020){ref-type="fig"}H, we observed that prolonged exposure of Mstn caused significant viability loss of the HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner. Nevertheless, the growth inhibition of HeLa/Mstn KO cells was reversed by addition of recombinant Mstn. On the dose, 300 ng/ml had achieved the best effect ([Fig. 4](#f0020){ref-type="fig"}I). In addition, adding culture media from normal HeLa cells also promoted HeLa/Mstn KO cell growth ([Fig. 4](#f0020){ref-type="fig"}J). The results suggest that the function of endogenous Mstn is indispensable for HeLa cell growth but exposure to exogenous Mstn at higher concentrations can be detrimental.

Mstn KO enhanced the fatty acid oxidation and reduced the cellular TG and TC contents, which ultimately triggered ROS generation. The increased production of ROS caused changes in the morphology, function, and physiology of mitochondria. These changes were followed by the release of Cyt-c into the cytoplasm, thereby causing caspase activation, and finally leading to mitochondria- dependent apoptosis in cancer cells ([Fig. 9](#f0045){ref-type="fig"}).Fig. 9Model of Mstn KO induced ROS-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells.Fig. 9

4. Discussion {#s0150}
=============

Muscle loss and cachexia have been postulated to be key determinants of cancer-related death. Mstn is the negative regulator of muscle growth and a crucial player in the development of cancer cachexia [@bib7]. However, the roles of Mstn in cancer as well


confirmed an increase in the total energy expenditure in Mstn^--/--^ mice [@bib10], [@bib39], which suggests that increased fatty acid oxidation could be a key factor related to the reduced lipid composition in Mstn KO cells. We also hypothesized that Mstn KO could increase the activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is a critical regulator of energy metabolism and the expression of genes involved with fatty acid oxidation [@bib40]. Furthermore, AMPK activation has been shown to increase fatty acid oxidation [@bib41]. Consistent with this finding, our unpublished results confirmed the increased phosphorylation of AMPKα in Mstn KO cells. Besides, it has been shown that the activation of ActRIIB by Mstn inhibits the phosphorylation of Akt, which is a key activator of the mTOR pathway related to protein synthesismeteor or shooting star.

JAMA, 1997. 278(11):901-904, Nyquist A-C. JAMA, 1998. 279(11): 875-877). Upper airway infections are multifactorial and polymicrobial diseases. Infection by respiratory viruses (e.g. RSV, adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus) predisposes to bacterial superinfection by members of the nasopharynx normal flora: nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Moraxella catarrhalis. While viral infections are often self-limiting, therapeutic delay of bacterial disease can lead to complications, permanent sequelae and severe morbidity and mortality.
Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical manifestations. Signs and symptoms of disease of bacterial and nonbacterial etiologies are often indistinguishable.

On the mechanisms enabling myocardial edema contrast in bSSFP-based imaging approaches.
The biophysical mechanisms influencing balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) based edema imaging in the setting of acute myocardial infarction are not well understood. To assess the various mechanisms that enable the detection of myocardial edema on bSSFP-based imaging approaches (cine bSSFP and T(2)-prepared bSSFP), experiments were conducted in canine models subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Results showed that in addition to relaxation effects, the alteration in thermal equilibrium (M(0)) (including magnetization transfer) has a significant contribution to the image contrast between edematous and healthy myocardium. The relative signal-intensity ratios between edematous and healthy myocardium were: 1.51 ± 0.18 (cine bSSFP) and 1.58 ± 0.20 (T(2)-prepared bSSFP); the theoretically estimated relative relaxation and M(0) effects were: 1.17 ± 0.09 andpresumably trust. Komaroff has the doctors and medical students know that this report concluded that “ME/CFS is a serious, chronic, complex systemic disease” that affects up to an estimated 2.5 million people in the United States, and causes from $17 billion to $24 billion in economic losses annually in the U.S.

As to the idea that ME/CFS is not a real disease – well, many of the tests doctors used in the 1980’s when ME/CFS first leapt onto the scene in a big way (and the tests that doctors still use today) couldn’t find anything wrong. Many doctors concluded that meant there really was nothing wrong, but Komaroff asserts that the results of the next 3 decades indicate that it was the tests that were wrong (and the doctors


received no treatment; 2) Group LHRH (5 sows) received 800 ng of LHRH every 2 h throughout the sampling period; 3) Group E2 (4 sows) received subcutaneous implants containing estradiol-17 beta 24 h after start of sampling; 4) Group LHRH + E2 (5 sows) were administered a combination of LHRH and estradiol-17 beta implants. Between-animal variability for plasma LH, FSH, and PRL was considerable. LH concentration and LH pulse frequency increased (p less than 0.05) after LHRH treatment in the LHRH and LHRH + E2 groups; however, an acute inhibition of LH secretion was observed in the latter group immediately after estradiol implant application. In the absence of LHRH treatment, estradiol caused chronic inhibition of LH secretion. Follicular development was greater in the LHRH and LHRH + E2an efficient manner. At the same time they can provide integrated and highly abstracted information of the disease and direct the necessary treatment. This central embedding of diagnostic pathology has opened new doors in medical communication.

It started with telepathology providing on-line and off-line procedures to electronically transfer diagnostic useful information, and continued with image analysis applications available via the Internet. The essential tools are depicted in (figure [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}). On-line telepathology can be assumed as a static and asynchronous approach sending information upfront without the flexibility for the \"sender\" to immediately react to the reviewer\'s advice. User\'s had to \"synchronize\" their email communications in telephone conferences \[[@B10]-[@B23]\].

![The essential tools to performing telepathology include microscope with mounted digital camera, interactive submission of clinical data and images, computerized transfer stations, and

in cellular and animal Huntington's models, using antibodies against total JNK (pan-JNK, phosphorylation-independent) or against phosphorylated, catalytically active JNKs (pJNK). Effects of polyQ-Htt expression on JNK activation were evaluated qualitatively after transient transfection ([Fig. 3A](#F3){ref-type="fig"}). NSC34 neuroblastoma cells were transfected with WT-Htt (Q18) or polyQ-Htt (Q56)[@R29]. Immunoblots show exogenous Htt constructs were expressed at levels similar to endogenous Htt. Pan-JNK and pJNK antibodies recognized two major immunoreactive bands (p46 and p54) corresponding to mammalian JNKs in NSC34 cell lysates and striatal mouse tissue ([Fig. 3**A, C**](#F3){ref-type="fig"})[@R30]. Expression levels for both pan-JNK immunoreactive bands were comparable in cells expressing WT-Htt and polyQ-Htt. However, pJNK antibodies showed a clear increase in p54 immunoreactivity in cells expressing polyQ-Htt ([Fig. 3A](#F3){ref-type="fig"}), consistent with previous reports[@R20], [@R22], [@R31].

Differential activation of p54 and p46with differential effects of JNK1 and JNK3 on FAT ([Fig. 5**A, C**](#F5){ref-type="fig"}). To confirm ESI-LC/MS/MS analysis, site-directed mutagenesis substituted alanine for either Ser175 or Ser176 of KHC^584^ (KHC^584^-S175A and KHC^584^-S176A). Bacterially-expressed mutant proteins were purified ([Fig. 6B](#F6){ref-type="fig"}), then phosphorylated *in vitro* with JNK3, and ^32^P incorporation analyzed by Phosphorimaging. Phosphorylation of KHC^584^-S176A, but not KHC^584^-S175A, was reduced relative to wild-type KHC^584^ by≈30% (KHC^584^-WT, [Fig. 6B](#F6){ref-type="fig"}). Ser176 is conserved among squid, mouse and human kinesin-1s ([Supplemental Fig. 4A](#SD6){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Levels of ^32^P incorporated in KHC^584^-S176A were consistent with mass spectrometry findings showing partial phosphorylation of KHC^584^*in vitro* at non-conserved residues outside the motor domain (not shown). Ser176 phosphorylation was also detected in kinesin-1 immunoprecipitated from mouse brain (not shown). Together, these data identified Ser176 as a major kinesin-1 residue phosphorylated

Axoplasmic JNK activity assays {#S15}
------------------------------

For experiments on kinase activity in axoplasm ([Figs. 2C](#F2){ref-type="fig"} and [4A](#F4){ref-type="fig"}), 3- 4 axoplasms were triturated in 280μl of KB buffer (KB: 10mM Hepes pH 7.4, 10mM MgCl~2~, 1mM DTT) minus ATP. Reactions (50μl) were incubated at RT and started by adding ATP (50μM). Aliquots were collected at various time points up to 20 minutes and analyzed by immunoblotting.

Brain Tissue/Cell lysate preparation {#S16}
------------------------------------

Mouse brain tissue and cultured cells were homogenized in ROLB buffer \[10mM Hepes pH7.4, 0,5% Triton X-100, 80mM β-glycerophosphate, 50mM Sodium Fluoride, 2mM Sodium Orthovanadate, 100nM Staurosporine, 100nM K252a, 50nM Okadaic acid, 50nM Microcystin, 100mM Potassium Phosphate and mammalian protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma)\]. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation, and protein concentration determined using BCA kitpeptide inhibitor (Calbiochem) with portions of JSAP1a and JSAP1d polypeptides[@R34]. The boxed region indicates the highly conserved JNK binding domain (JBD). A 31-aminoacid peptide sequence unique to JSAP1d (underlined) selectively interferes with binding to JNK3[@R34]. **D**) Co-perfusion of polyQ-Htt with JSAP1a (5 μM) which blocks both JNK1 and JNK3 activity, effectively prevents effects of polyQ-Htt on FAT. **E**) Co-perfusion of polyQ-Htt with JSAP1d (5μM), which preferentially inhibits JNK1, only partially blocks polyQ-Htt effects. These results suggest that JNK3 mediates the effects of polyQ-Htt on FAT.](nihms115377f4){#F4}

hours after transfection. Wild type (WT, **A**) and non-phosphorylatable S176A mutant (S176A, **E**) constructs efficiently translocated so that they were localized almost exclusively at the axon tip. In contrast, a significant fraction of the pseudophosphorylated S176 mutant (S176E, **C**) was found throughout the cell body. Arrowheads in **A, C** and **E** indicate the location of the neuronal cell bodies as seen in **B, D**, and **F. G**: The percentage of total KHC^560^-GFP fluorescence localized at the axon tip was measured in cells expressing KHC^560^ WT (N=22), KHC^560^ S176E (N=33) or KHC^560^ S176A (N=30). Significantly less KHC^560^ S176E accumulated at axon tips with the wild-type construct (t-test, p\<0.0001); only marginally less KHC^560^ S176A accumulated at the axon tip than the wild-type construct (t-test, p\~0.05). Bars show mean and standardtimes. Following this their craving and nicotine levels were assessed for an hour, after which the procedure was repeated.

The results were striking. The nicotine levels in the e-cigarette smokers were not noticeably different than those who smoked fake cigarettes. The mean nicotine level of e-cigarettes smokers was 3.5 ng/ml, while the mean nicotine level of tobacco smokers was 20 ng/ml.

They work

While the media has focused on the fact that the e-cigarettes in this study didn’t appear to deliver much nicotine—with some anti-tobacco activists arguing this is yet another reason to ban them—the more interesting fact about Eissenberg’s research has been ignored: Even though they fail to deliver significant amounts of nicotine, e-cigarettes appear to satisfy smokers’ cravings for cigarettes.

So, contrary to the anti-tobacco lobby’s claim that e-cigarettes increase


nicotine addiction, they appear to lessen such addiction. And even if there were an increase in nicotine addiction, it is not nicotine addiction that is the lethal component of conventional cigarettes. Just as methadone prevents some of the horrible effects of heroin addiction without curing the addiction, so e-cigarettes might well prevent some of the risks of cigarette smoking even while leaving smokers addicted.

This leaves only the third claim against e-cigarettes—that they may lead smokers to think that these new products are safer than conventional cigarettes. Given the findings of the mentioned studies, the question is why should this be a problem? Why would the agency regulating cigarettes want smokers to believe that all tobacco and nicotine products carry the same risk? After all, nicotine-replacement products (NRP) areitems are also available to ensure you’ve covered all your bases as you start collecting items.

There was no peaceful rapprochement between these settlers and the Celts, who were pushed back from all parts of Britain to the western fringes of the island. They went on to form the dominant population of Wales (the term itself derived from 'wealas', Old English 'wealh' denoting a 'foreigner, a Celt'), Cornwall, and Brittany.

The Anglo-Saxon invader-settlers formed a variety of kingdoms, and it was not until about the 10th century that England, as we now know it, was established (see Figure 1). Even then, from the late 8th century, there was also the tricky issue of the Vikings to deal with. These Norsemen first invaded in 793, but ultimatelyexpert; rather, it was 'functional' or pragmatic. Tradespeople and those with some rudimentary education knew enough to get by and might have been able to write their name, or understand significant phrases. These textual communities grew in number and in proficiency by the end of the Middle Ages, paralleling the emergence of a large and productive middle class. Evidence for this kind of literacy comes from many texts, including Chaucer's late 14th-century _Canterbury Tales_. This engaging and animated work depicts a diverse group of fictional pilgrims each of whom is meant to tell a story to the other assembled characters as they make their way to Canterbury on their pilgrimage. Among these figures are the Summoner, a minor cleric, who can parrot Latin phrases; a Reeve, who manages

Another form of French fried potato product involves the use of raw potatoes that are at least partially cooked by blanching and/or steaming, and then fried, frozen and packaged. With these types of potatoes, it is known in the industry to apply a batter coating that coats the outer surface of the potato pieces. After the batter coating is applied, the potato pieces are subjected to final frying, followed by freezing and packaging as mentioned above. The batter coating is applied for purposes of improving certain characteristics of the potato product. In particular, with the applied batter coating, the potato product is better able to maintain its crispness characteristics, upon reheating or

The 3-D images have improved greatly since the first Journey,
but even more this time, the filmmakers play a game of "made you
flinch" with cheap shots of objects hurtling off the screen. Good
for a giggle at a theme park attraction, good for some groans and
grousing when paying a 3-D premium to park your carcass in a
theater for 90 minutes.

The root of the franchise is kind of clever, updating Verne's
novels to our times by pretending they weren't fantasies but
chronicles of actual expeditions. And Journey 2 has its heart in
the right place as a family-friendly adventure that might interest
some kids in checking out Verne's books.

If only the movie had the hint of a brain.

"Oh. Of course." He let out an unsteady sigh. "Set course for Earth."

"Course plotted and laid in, sir."

"Take us home, then."

He stared at the screen, not really registering the shift in the star patterns that indicated the great ship was coming around. Instead he was watching in wonderment as the screen seemed to waver and then blank out. Moments later another image appeared on it.

It was a town. A town that Sulu had not seen for many, many years.

By any definition, it was primitive . . . which was its entire charm.

It was the last place that Sulu wanted to think of. For a moment he thought he was losing his mind, because, of

"Never assume." He frowned. "If you miss it so much . . . vy are you still here? It vill be another six months until the refit is finished, even vith Mr. Scott overseeing it. You could have taken assignment on another ship, instead of agreeing to teach at the Academy like I did. I, personally, didn't mind the prospect of staying on Earth for a little vile. But you . . .?"

"Because," Sulu sighed, "it's the Enterprise. It's working under Captain Kirk. It's . . . everything. A position on another ship would simply feel like a step down, almost by definition."

"Even a captaincy?"

Sulu shrugged. "Well, I wouldn't see myself turning that down. Then again," he added thoughtfully, "it would depend, wouldn't it. Helmsman of a starshiphand carefully over his mouth to cover his smile. Sulu remained expressionless.

Mr. Molo allowed the pencil point to hover over the notepad for a moment before he laid the pencil down gently. He steepled his fingers. "Do you think you're funny, Lieutenant Commander? Do you think that a complaint to Starfleet over your questionable conduct in our city would be as amusing as you?"

Slowly Sulu leaned forward, his eyes unblinking. "What I think, Mr. Molo, is that I'm hot. I'm tired. I'm parched. What I think"—and then his voice became low and hoarse, and there was an edge to it that could have carved diamond—"what I think is that you're dirty. Filthy, in fact. I think there are things that go on in this town that are illegal

"Not ambitious enough. Nowhere near ambitious enough. All this," Taine said, gesturing around, "was created, we believe, by an offshoot race from the same one who created that 'amusement park‣ planet you speak so fondly of. But they were a warlike, conquest-minded race. They were not interested in using their technology to develop harmless, cellular cast synthetic creatures. They wanted genuine, living, breathing beings. They wanted clones that they could develop into an army. An army of workers. An army of soldiers. Whatever they were needed for, they could do.

It's quite nice actually. The venues usually have a nice, large floor. The crowd is usually older, but we don't mind. Actually, because the clubs usually have an older clientele, they close earlier than a normal club, so we just move over to a salsa venue after, if we're still up for more dancing.

It changed my outlook on my regular job. I am not as bored since I have another activity, a more relaxed activity to look forward to every week.

Come to think of it, maybe this has happened to me as well. I'm complaining less about my new job and just

The NDFP– Mindanao had earlier called on the people to oppose it and press the GRP to rescind this lopsided agreement. The Aquino government is set to have it reviewed and amended without the consent of the Philippine Legislature, making a mockery of its own constitutionally mandated Senate.

7. The US-Aquino regime has no plan to lift the terror tag against the CPP-NPA-NDF and these terror threats could be spitefully used as a license to amend the VFA for intensified anti-terror campaigns against the revolutionary movement. This usual terror line will only result to crackdown against the Moro people, political activists and political opposition block. The reactionary regime could also
