Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care MedicineVanderbilt University School of MedicineTitle: "Role of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor in the Development of Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension"Term: January 15, 2013 through January 14, 2014
Development of secondary pulmonary hypertension in the setting of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with worsening symptoms of dyspnea, quality of life, and poorer prognosis. Hypoxic-inducible factor (HIF) is a primordial regulator of the cellular response to lack of oxygen. Our research project evaluates the role of HIF in the development of secondary pulmonary hypertension utilizing a mouse model with specific deletion of HIF in vascular endothelial cells. We hypothesize that upon development of experimentally induced lung fibrosis, mice without expression of HIF within the vascular endothelium will be protected against the development of pulmonary hypertension. Furthermore, we hope to demonstrate decreased right ventricular remodeling in these mice under chronic hypoxic conditions, providing another mechanism of protection that bears further evaluation.
There are currently few available disease-modifying therapies to offer patients with COPD and IPF, with the exception of tobacco cessation and lung transplantation, which itself carries a limited long-term prognosis. Efforts to treat pulmonary hypertension in patient populations of both COPD and IPF, mainly with oral phosphodiesterase inhibitor sildenafil, have proven unsuccessful. Thus, there is a serious need for alternatively acting agents to help these patients. Our studies indicate novel pathways that are active in the development and sustainment of pulmonary vascular disease pathology, specifically activation of conserved responses to local and global hypoxia – the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway. With further study, it is our hope to uncover more details of this pathway, allowing downstream targets to be discovered that may be amenable to pharmaceutical treatment.

this sexual act is performed by the male, and it is when he is on the side of a swimming pool or at the beach... so he inserts his feet into two girls vaginas and then proceeds to "plunge" into the water and uses the girls as flippers to propel himself through the water like a penguin.
i saw these two hot cunts laying out at the beach so i jammed my feet into their pussies and did the penguin plunge right into the ocean.

Oh, that explains it a little bit, but why did she save the two people that want to destroy SS? That sums up my question there.
Also Paul I think Bach is trying to figure out something about the Hōgyoku, Since Harribel was altered by it from her Vasto Lorde form. Maybe he's trying to revert the process and create his own version? That's the only reason I see why, as of now.

Just curious how you all ball dough. I was frequently using the "fold under" and pinch off method, but it was taking a lot of time and I felt like I was overworking the dough a little bit. Does anyone do the "keyhole" method with dough already cut to the proper weight (ie, not pulling it off a longer piece of dough...like a snake.)I'd like to try using this method to ball dough (seems quicker and like there are less touches on the dough) but would like to hear from someone that does it this way. If you push the dough through a circle created by your forefinger and thumb, do you ever expand the size of that circle or do you just keep it there and push it through? How do you pinch it off using this method?I want to make some dough and try it this weekend

Butte-Glenn Community College District participates in multiple retirement programs. Full and part-time academic employment is generally subject to coverage by the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS). Full-time classified (non-academic) employment is generally covered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). In addition to Social Security (FICA), the District participates in alternative retirement plans such as STRS Cash Balance for Associate Faculty and APPLE for certain part-time, seasonal, or temporary employees.
CalSTRS members do not contribute to Social Security (FICA). As a result, the retirement benefits a member receives from school employment are provided entirely by CalSTRS. Although CalSTRS members do not receive Social Security benefits by virtue of their public school employment, many receive such benefits from other employment, or by being married to an individual who was employed in jobs covered by Social Security. As a result of the federal Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), the Social Security benefits that a CalSTRS member receives is often reduced because the member is receiving a retirement benefit from CalSTRS. A CalSTRS member who has paid FICA on 30 years of substantial earnings is not affected by WEP.
If you would like additional information on WEP or an explanation of substantial earnings, click on the underscored item.

Make sure you are holding the Kyusu by the front (spout) part of the body, not the handle.
Then pour the next batch of water across the screen dislodging the rest of the leaves. This way you get a "fresh screen" ... otherwise you will likely clog up on a successive steep.
I also use the "tap the back side of the Kyusu against your palm" technique to clear the filter, although I always use two hands; one hand holding the front of the kyusu handle, the other hand to tap against with an open palm. I've never needed to hold the spout, that sounds structurally awkward to me.
Or, did you mean; you cup one hand around the spout and front body of the kyusu and tap against your other open palm? Like cupping the kyusu with both hands, but the hand around the spout moves and taps.

OXFORD – The approach to offense won't change much, but Ole Miss will hope for better results as it tries to break a six-game losing streak tonight.
Surprising Alabama visits this weekend for three game against the Rebels who are having trouble putting runs on the board.
First pitch times are 6:30 tonight, 4 p.m., Saturday and 1:30 p.m., Sunday.
Ole Miss (23-10, 4-8 SEC) has lost eight of its last 10. It's six consecutive losses have all come against SEC teams, though Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Mississippi State will not count in the league standings.
Alabama has been pretty good in the league standings, getting off to an 8-4 start, tied for second in the Western Division. The Crimson Tide defeated Alcorn State 7-3 Wednesday night, improving to 22-13 overall and eclipsing last year's win total.
The Tide is coming off an SEC series loss against Arkansas in which it avoided a sweep by winning 5-0 last Sunday. Alabama won its first three series against Tennessee, Georgia and Auburn, sweeping Georgia.
Over the life of its losing streak Ole Miss has scored one run three times and been shutout twice.
"There will always be changes and tweaks from lineups and some things guys may work on individually," Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said. "But the process is the process. You have to go up and have quality at-bats."
The Rebels are hitting just .216 in conference play, last among SEC teams. Ole Miss has doubled 12 times among its 86 SEC hits or one double for every 33.1 at-bats.
There have been four home runs and no triples. Six hits against MSU were all singles.
Bianco isn't focusing only on offense. Ole Miss pitchers have walked 49 batters in SEC play, third-most in the league.
The Rebels issued 10 walks and hit a batter against the Bulldogs Tuesday night.
weekend warriors
Alabama seems to have played its best on the weekends when it hits .284 against SEC teams as opposed to .253 in all games. The Tide has an in-league ERA of 2.19.
"You have to make pitches on the mound. You have to play good defense. You have to get the timely hit," he said. "Those things don't change, especially when you're struggling."

I think Karen got it.

What does an Oxy addict look like? I'm not familiar.ReplyCancel
The Olsen girl looks kinda dirty and hes a dirty old French perv.ReplyCancel
Howard Stern and Beff. Bare minimum at work is his 2 live shows on alternating weeks.ReplyCancel
I agree—this site needs more Mimi! Apparently the straw tht broke the camels back was Nick bragging about sleeping with Kim K and Mariah is livid loll
I agree with Mary Kate as wellReplyCancel
Hey I posted about the Nick and Mariah divorce announcement here 2 days ago and skimpymist said no one cares about those 2. :pReplyCancel
@Sandy haha missed that postReplyCancel
Was Ash the one that went to rehab?ReplyCancel
Its in the Julianne Hough item @Derek maybe it was yesterday. 2nd item of the day.ReplyCancel
JLaw and Chris MartinReplyCancel
the howard/beff guess is interesting. wouldnt this b a first (drugs) with stern?
Ok I asked Enty this:
Its all over the Internet that Mariah Carey is going to announce her divorce some day this week. Why wasn't that the 2nd item here today (Don Pardo dying was first).
skimpymist replied: that's because no one cares about them sandy.
The Olsen twins don't even have to work unless they want to. They made skillions in the 90's from their direct to video movies and branded products. Unlike most showbiz kids, their parents set up a strong financial team and didn't squander their money. According to other blinds, they also supply pills to design houses and models around the world.ReplyCancel

what a 'DUUUUH'moment. "oh right,she has a famous twin sista"
Karen FTW
Hellllllloooooo!!!! Am I seeing correctly that no one brought up the MK/Heath connection yet?!? Definitely sounds like the couture twin troll, back to her old habit
Yup @Lady H
My first thought too after reading this
MK is definitely a druggieReplyCancel
Hope we don't read about an accidental death by overdose.ReplyCancel
I'm on the Karen train! Good one!ReplyCancel
The most famous oxy addict I know of is Rush Limbaugh.
Stay away from drugs, kids.ReplyCancel
If it is MKO (and I think you're spot on Karen) it would explain why they stay together. I know I've been wondering what the attraction is. Was she the one hanging with Heath Ledger before he died? It would explain a lot of weird shit.ReplyCancel
Yes, he was hanging with MKOReplyCancel

During the height of the housing boom, some likened the feverish flipping game in Miami's condominium market to a circus. The circus is back, and more high-flying than ever.
At a recent party to launch a new project called Echo Aventura from New York-based developer PMG, acrobats swung over the crowd, and in gravity-defying flourish, poured champagne into the glasses of wide-eyed investors. (Click here or on a photo to go to a listing for one of the project's condos, a 4,000-square-foot pad for $1,746,350.)
"It's exactly what we want. We wanted a little bit of show and a lot of flash," said Kevin Maloney, president of PMG, who re-entered the Miami market in 2010 to purchase some of the remaining beachfront and bayside construction sites.
Condominium development in greater Miami seems to defy not just gravity but reason. Cranes swing above the city from every angle, just as they did during the housing bubble in 2006. (Click here to see luxury Miami condos for sale on Yahoo! Homes.)
During the boom, 49,000 units were built, as investor-flippers used easy mortgage money to swap properties and push prices. When it all came crashing down, the lights went out in Miami, literally. Tall buildings stood dark at night, as banks took back properties and projects. Most thought it was all over for a good long time.
But somehow there are just 2,400 unsold units left, barely a year's worth at the current sales pace. Prices are up nearly 25 percent from a year ago, according to the Miami Area Association of Realtors.
How did it happen? Foreign, all-cash buyers like Venezuelans, Russians, Chinese, Canadians and Brazilians. They were either looking for a safe-haven to park their money or were taking advantage of a weak dollar. Whatever the reason, they came, they saw, they bought.
"It's mind-boggling. I'm perplexed as to how all this can go forward this quickly," said Peter Zalewski of CondoVultures.
He has been qualifying and quantifying the South Florida real estate market for over a decade, and said this time around there is less short term risk because the buyers have a real purpose. "The foreign buyer is deciding to take some chips off the table and park it up here and sort of put it away into a condo in Miami. If they use it or they don't use it, who cares, at least it's stable."
These cash-heavy buyers are allowing developers to require anywhere from 20 to 80 percent down, which appeases bank and private lenders alike.
"It's much smaller inventory, which is holding the price point, and further, the deposit structure is much more beneficial to the developer at this point, so we're back," said PMG's Maloney.
Maloney has sold 100 of the 190 units he plans to build in his Echo Aventura development, and that is without even breaking ground. The rest he hopes to entice with flash and fantasy, which is exactly what Miami is all about.
"I believe in the future," said Argentinean Antonio Aguirre at the Echo party. "The prices are going to come up faster, so today is a great time to buy."
At Marina Palms Yacht Club and Residences in North Miami's Aventura, broken-down boat slips frame two new condo sites, one of which has the concrete beginnings of a first floor that has been standing idle for six years, since the developers went bankrupt.
"There's an enormous demand. We actually didn't think the demand would be as strong as it is today," said Neil Fairman, of the Miami-based Plaza Group, the project's developer.
The Plaza Group, along with the DevStar group, are getting ready to put up two 25-story towers with a combined 468 units, starting in the $600,000s. The project will include a full-service, 112-slip marina. Half the units in the first tower sold in just the past two months. Fairman said he already has financing proposed from both banks and private hedge funds.
"There's a lot more scrutiny, they're going to scrutinize the buyers a great deal, they're going to scrutinize the developer's track record. They want people with experience, they want people with hard deposits," Fairman noted.

Skip to comments.Obama Makes Surprise Stops for Burgers and Veggies
Posted on 07/05/2012 8:37:13 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
President Obama made two surprise stops this afternoon as his campaign bus tour made its way through northern Ohio.
Heading to Sandusky, the president dropped in on diners at the Kozy Corners Family Restaurant in Oak Harbor, where he mingled with local residents and ordered himself a burger.
On his way in, he met a little boy in the parking lot and couldn't help complimenting his spiky blue hair.
"I like that hair, man. I was thinking of getting some hair just like it," Obama said, according to pool reports. "What do you put in there to make it spiky? Product?"
Encouraged by his parents, the boy reportedly shook the president's hand.
Obama, accompanied by former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, then headed inside, where he was met with cheers and applause.
The president glad-handed his way through the dining room, saying hello to several elderly customers, chit-chatting with a young girl and, of course, cradling a baby.
One young girl showed the president her sketchbook. "You're very talented," he said as he flipped through the pages, before inscribing it "dream big dreams."
The president also stopped to talk with a group of white-haired women, who told him they have played pinochle together for decades.
"Tell the truth, the national press is here," the president joked. "Are you playing for money?"
The ladies confessed that they occasionally play for a dollar or a quarter. "I'm not going to take you on, especially now that I know you play for money," Obama quipped.

You are so bad.
I wonder if he had to go to Ziggy's because Hot Dog Heaven wouldn't have him. They've been spot lighted on The Food Network multiple times, but what I've known of the owner is he's seemed a conservative. Amherst is a pretty small town. (Graduate, class of '76.) My mom got his secret chili recipe when she retired school teaching. It's in a laminated envelope. Mine, all mine, when she kicks ;)
Looks like he stopped for boogers, broads and booze, and maybe a good wedgy.
"I like that hair, man. I was thinking of getting some hair just like it," Obama said, according to pool reports. "What do you put in there to make it spiky? Product?"
*Hey doofus, why don't you try the hair gel that the Cameron Diaz character used in Something About Mary...
No wonder the woman could capture my attention when I was 4-5 years old. As for the second video, Joel Rose and I did some pilot training together. There was a sad story.
She got recorded into the Congressional record for that rant.
I would have been 21 at the time and wasn't living there as I had joined the navy
The second clip was just funny.
We had some characters back then.
Maybe she's the reason I got a dirt bike for my 12th birthday back in 1971 and a street bike when I was 18. I was just telling my daughter yesterday how funny it was when I'd take off my helmet and get the exclamation, "you're a girl!"
Seriously though, even as a child, I could tell partisan politics and she always seemed to try to find the truth of a matter. I actually appreciated that for as old as she was, they let her have her rants. And I stopped watching her after about 6 years old when we moved.
My Mom used to tie a rope to the bumper of the local guys car and slalom on roller skates in the street. LoL
she wouldn't allow me to buy a mini bike LOL
Naw , Zer0 is a drunk. Remember the info fro 2010 that his Doctor warned him against drinking. He still smokes.
What's Parma spelled backwards?: "Amrap!"
Credit: The Ghoul.
"The president wanted to buy some sweet corn to bring back to the White House, but debated how much. "I am thinking we are going to be eating some over the weekend. I'm just trying to count how many folks we will have," he said.
He initially said he wanted to buy an entire basket, but reconsidered when one of the employees informed him that was about three dozen ears. "I've only got six people," he said, mulling it over, before ultimately deciding on a dozen."
Day old corn? Yuck!
Obviously, I'm not the only fan of The Ghoul, here.
Maybe he wanted an .. audience with Coach sandusky, but got lost..
"Obviously, Im not the only fan of The Ghoul, here."
Nope. That was "pop" and chips time with my sisters. A friend actually got invited into the audience. She essentially flipped off our hard cord algebra teacher who wouldn't give her a pass to go to the taping. Instant hero. LOL.
If life were "The Big Bang Theory", obeyme would be Kripke.
Who, coincidentally, will run the Death Panels.
Wouldn't surprise me if he stopped to smoke some joints and snort some coke with the local drug addicts.
There is something ironic in that picture; the "crowd" of two Obama supports, the shuttered business, the American flag reduced to lawn furniture. It all fits.
Lincoln certainly spoke informally with many people. Here is a link to a conversation Lincoln had regarding someone's hair (bottom of the page).
Those two porkers don't look like they are doing without. must be union connected.
Lincoln showed more cleverness with that one act, than Obama has shown all his life.
