Familial adenomatous polyposis
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), also known as familial polyposis coli, adenomatous polyposis coli, or Gardner syndrome. The incidence varies from 1 in 7,000 to 1 in 22,000 live births with males and females equally affected. The term Gardner syndrome has sometimes been used to refer to patients who manifest extracolonic features, such as osteoma and soft tissue tumors in addition to FAP.
In its classic form, FAP is characterized by the following:
- Polyposis. The development of multiple benign (noncancerous) adenomatous polyps (>100) in the colon and rectum, which are described as having a dense carpet-like appearance on colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.
- Early age of onset. Polyps begin to develop at an average age of 16 years (range of seven to 36 years).
- A nearly 100 percent risk of colorectal cancer in the absence of treatment for polyposis (colectomy, or surgery to remove the colon)
- An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance (vertical transmission through either the maternal or paternal line)
- An increased risk of other health problems, such as polyps in the upper gastrointestinal tract, osteomas (benign bony growths), epidermoid cysts (skin lesions), desmoid tumors (locally invasive tumors that grow aggressively and can be life-threatening), congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment (CHRPE), and dental abnormalities
- An increased risk of thyroid, small bowel, pancreatic, and stomach cancers, brain tumors, and hepatoblastoma (a childhood liver tumor)
Mutations in a tumor suppressor gene called APC, located on chromosome 5, causes most cases of FAP. Without intervention, nearly all people who have a mutation in the APC gene that causes the classic form of FAP will develop colorectal polyps by age 40 or 50.
Because FAP has such an early age of onset, cancer screening often begins in childhood. In addition, genetic testing of children at risk is a special consideration. Usually, genetic tests are not an option for people who are considered minors unless there is some type of medical benefit available to justify testing. FAP is an autosomal dominant cancer genetic syndrome, which means that a child whose parent has the condition has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the familial APC gene mutation. There is equally as likely a chance the child will not inherit the familial APC mutation, which would spare the child from having to undergo annual examinations (for example, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy) if he or she was found to be mutation negative. Thus, since genetic testing can have an impact on medical management, genetic testing of children at risk of classic FAP is an option that can be considered.
The APC gene is a tumor suppressor gene, which usually has the job of controlling cell growth and cell death. Everyone has two APC genes (one on each chromosome #5). When a person has an altered, or mutated, APC gene, his or her risk of developing polyps and risk of cancer increases.
Both copies of a tumor suppressor gene must be altered, or mutated, before a person will develop polyps or cancer. In FAP, the first mutation is usually inherited from either the mother or the father and is therefore present in all cells of the body. This is called a germline mutation. It is not until the second copy of the gene is mutated in, for instance, a colon cell, that a polyp develops. In order for a benign polyp to become malignant (cancerous), the polyp must acquire mutations in several additional growth control genes. Loss of both copies of APC is just the first step in the process of cancer development. What causes these additional mutations to be acquired is unknown. Possible causes include chemical, physical, or biological environmental exposures or chance errors in cell replication. Since we do not know how to prevent these mutations from occurring, the treatment for classic FAP is a colectomy, a removal of the colon once polyps develop, but before they become cancerous.
It is important to remember that the APC gene is not located on the sex chromosomes. Therefore, mutations can be inherited from the mother or the father's side of the family. In about one fourth of cases, the APC mutation is de novo, which means it was not inherited, but occurred for the first time in a family in the person with symptoms. People with de novo mutations still transmit them in the same inheritance pattern (autosomal dominant), which means there is a 50/50 chance for them to pass the mutation to a child (regardless of gender).
Hundreds of mutations have been found throughout the APC gene. It has long been recognized that some families with APC mutations have different symptoms than others. Studies comparing symptoms in patients with different and similar APC mutations have been done to see if there are any correlations. A correlation between specific mutations and symptoms is called a genotype-phenotype correlation. Genotype-phenotype correlation studies for the APC gene have shown that the location of a mutation in the gene provides some information about the types of FAP health problems a person will have. For instance, mutations in certain parts of the gene are associated with an increased rate of desmoid tumors (locally invasive tumors that grow aggressively and can be life-threatening), osteomas (benign bony growths), and epidermoid cysts (skin lesions). Where in the gene a mutation lies also provides some information about polyp burden (the number of polyps a person will develop). Even though some correlations exist, there is often variability of symptoms between people who have the same mutation. This is because factors other than the APC mutation (environmental factors, other genetic factors) contribute to the development of polyps and cancer.
What is attenuated FAP?
An attenuated form of familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) has been identified. Individuals with AFAP develop fewer than 100 adenomatous polyps (average of 30 polyps) and the polyps are located more proximally than in classic FAP. The risk of developing colon cancer is increased, but the average age of diagnosis is older (about 55 years of age) than in the classic form. Some of the other health problems associated with classic FAP also occur in the attenuated form, however, cases of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment (CHRPE) are rarely seen.
Mutations in three specific areas of the APC gene have been associated with the AFAP phenotype. The polyp burden (number of polyps developed) and the risk of other FAP manifestations varies depending on which area the mutation is located.
The incidence of AFAP is unknown, but thought to be about the same or less than classic FAP.
What is a I1307K mutation?
One APC mutation in particular, called I1307K, is present in 6 percent of the American Ashkenazi Jewish population. This mutation is associated with a 10 to 20 percent risk of colorectal cancer (slightly more than double the risk of someone else in the general population). However, people with this mutation do not present with the classic carpet of polyps in the colorectum seen in FAP.
What is MYH-associated polyposis (MAP)?
Mutations in the MYH gene increase the chance for an individual to develop multiple colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer. Unlike most polyposis and colorectal cancer disorders, MAP is considered to be an autosomal recessive disorder. This means that individuals with MAP have mutations in both copies of their MYH gene.
The number of polyps in individuals with MAP can range from a few to hundreds. The symptoms of MAP overlap with both familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and attenuated FAP. Genetic testing for mutations in the MYH gene is available and should be considered in individuals suspected of having FAP or attenuated FAP who do not have mutation in the APC gene. It is not currently known if individuals with only one MYH mutation have a higher than average risk for colorectal polyps and cancer.

1727, "action of going," from go (v.). The sense of "a try or turn at something" is from 1825; meaning "something that goes, a success" is from 1876. Phrase on the go "in constant motion" is from 1843.
Old English gan "to go, advance, depart; happen; conquer; observe," from West Germanic *gai-/*gæ- (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian gan, Middle Dutch gaen, Dutch gaan, Old High German gan, German gehen), from PIE *ghe- "to release, let go" (cf. Sanskrit jihite "goes away," Greek kikhano "I reach, meet with"), but there is not general agreement on cognates.
The Old English past tense was eode, of uncertain origin but evidently once a different word (perhaps connected to Gothic iddja); it was replaced 1400s by went, formerly past tense of wenden "to direct one's way" (see wend). In northern England and Scotland, however, eode tended to be replaced by gaed, a construction based on go. In modern English, only be and go take their past tenses from entirely different verbs.
The word in its various forms and combinations takes up 45 columns of close print in the OED. Verbal meaning "say" emerged 1960s in teen slang. Colloquial meaning "urinate or defecate" attested by 1926. Go for broke is from 1951, American English colloquial; go down on "perform oral sex on" is from 1916. That goes without saying (1878) translates French cela va sans dire. As an adjective, "in order," from 1951, originally in aerospace jargon.

ProteoGuard is a complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail containing an optimized mixture of protease inhibitors—specially designed to protect proteins from being digested by endogenous proteases that can be released during protein extraction from cell lysates.
The ProteoGuard EDTA-Free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail 100X stock solution is easy to use and is prepacked for single-use applications. It is not supplied in a tablet format, so there is no need to wait for the tablet to dissolve before use. Just dispense the required amount of protease inhibitors (10 µl per 1 ml) into buffers or lysis reagents prior to extraction of proteins from cultured cells, animal tissues, plant tissues, yeast, or bacteria. ProteoGuard EDTA-Free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail is compatible with a variety of cell lysis reagents.
A protease activity assay was used to measure the activity of the proteases found in pancreatic extract. The ability of Clontech's ProteoGuard EDTA-Free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail to inhibit the activity of common proteases was compared to a commercially available protease inhibitor cocktail from Competitor P. The assay used 15 µg of protein (casein), 600 µg of pancreatic extract, and 5 µl each of the protease inhibitor cocktails at a starting concentration of 100X. The calculation of inhibition percentage was based on protease activity in the absence of any inhibitor cocktail compared to protease activity in the presence of each inhibitor cocktail. ProteoGuard EDTA-Free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail showed better protease inhibition (84%) than Competitor P (54.5%).

JPMorgan Investors Urged to Split Chairman Role, Oust Directors
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) should name an independent chairman and oust three directors, a shareholder advisory firm said, boosting pressure on the bank to overhaul its corporate governance after a $6.2 billion trading loss.
Stockholders should vote in favor of a proposal to split the roles of chairman and chief executive officer, both currently held by Jamie Dimon, at New York-based JPMorgan's annual meeting May 21, Institutional Shareholder Services said in a report. ISS, which advises investors on proxy voting and corporate governance, cited "failures of stewardship" in opposing the re-election of three risk-committee directors.
Calls for Dimon, 57, to relinquish the chairmanship have mounted since last May when JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, disclosed risk-control lapses in its chief investment office on bets that fueled the trading loss and sparked regulatory probes. The May 3 ISS report could undermine the bank's efforts to persuade large investors to leave the leadership structure unchanged.
ISS, which also endorsed a proposal for an independent chairman in 2012, added the call to replace directors this year. It cited "the governance failure in connection with the CIO incident, the size and complexity of JPM's business, and the continued challenges faced by the company."
The bank's board urged investors in March to vote against naming a separate chairman, saying that Dimon's dual role remains the "most effective leadership model." He has since drawn public backing from billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who has said he personally holds stock in the bank, and Kenneth Langone, the billionaire founder of Home Depot Inc.
'Love Jamie'
"I'm 100 percent for Jamie," Buffett, 82, told Bloomberg Television's Betty Liu on May 2 in Omaha, Nebraska. "I couldn't think of a better chairman."
Langone, another JPMorgan investor, called Dimon the "finest CEO across any business in America."
"I love Jamie, I know him well personally, I love him," Langone, 77, told Bloomberg Television on April 26. The bank reported its third straight year of record profits with $21.3 billion in net income for 2012.
Last year's losses in the chief investment office were the focus of a probe by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The panel said in a March report that the bank dodged regulators and misled investors amid souring bets by trader Bruno Iksil, dubbed the London Whale because his positions were so big. Managers manipulated risk models and pressured traders to overvalue positions in an effort to hide mounting losses, according to the report.
Lacking 'Expertise'
ISS recommended that shareholders oppose the re-election of Risk Policy Committee members David Cote, Ellen Futter and panel Chairman James Crown. Former KPMG International Chairman Timothy Flynn, who was appointed to the committee after the loss disclosure last year, should be re-elected, ISS said.
"The CIO losses revealed multiple points of failure in the risk oversight process, and certain members of the RPC lack relevant industry expertise," ISS wrote.
Cote, 60, is chairman and CEO of Honeywell International Inc., and Crown, 59, is president of Chicago-based Henry Crown & Co. and lead director of defense contractor General Dynamics Corp. Futter, 63, who joined JPMorgan's board in 1997, is president of the American Museum of Natural History in New York and former president of Barnard College.
'Enormous Weight'
The proxy firm's recommendation "adds enormous weight to the case for removing these directors," said Dieter Waizenegger, executive director of CtW Investment Group, which provides advice to union pension funds managing $250 billion in assets, including shares of JPMorgan. "Upgrading director independence and financial expertise is critical if this board is to ask the tough questions of management and the bank's risk-taking on good or bad days."
JPMorgan "strongly endorses" the re-election of current directors and disagrees with ISS's position, said Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman for the bank, in an e-mail. "The members of the board's risk committee have a diversity and breadth of experiences that have served the company well."
While the bank acknowledged lapses relating to the CIO's losses, an independent board committee found that mistakes weren't attributable to the risk committee, she said.
Dimon warned in a letter to shareholders last month that the company was facing more sanctions in coming months.
JPMorgan was notified by U.S. energy-market authorities in March that they may take action against its employees as part of an inquiry into bidding practices, the New York Times reported last week, citing a document it reviewed. JPMorgan intends to defend itself and its executives, Lemkau told the newspaper.
Town Hall
Dimon is scheduled to have a town hall-style meeting in New York this week with dozens of bank examiners from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Wall Street Journal reported on May 4, citing people briefed on the meeting. It will be held about three weeks after examiners from the OCC and Federal Reserve told Dimon and his board that regulators don't trust management, the newspaper said.
Investors would risk shortening Dimon's tenure if they appoint a separate chairman and their company's stock may lose its "premium valuation," Charles Peabody, an analyst at Portales Partners LLC, said last month in a note to clients.
Dimon told investors in February that he wouldn't have agreed to take a previous job, leading Bank One Corp., if the board hadn't given him both roles, Peabody recalled. JPMorgan acquired Bank One in 2004 to create the company it is today.
"Troubled company, big turnaround, divided board," Dimon said in February. "Not me. Life is too short."
If Dimon leaves, "shareholders may just find that the stock loses its premium valuation," Peabody wrote.

The Golden LEAF Foundation�s grant of almost a half-million dollars to Blue Ridge Community College for advanced manufacturing training bodes well for the future of high-tech industry in the Blue Ridge area.
The Golden LEAF Foundation�s grant of almost a half-million dollars to Blue Ridge Community College for advanced manufacturing training bodes well for the future of high-tech industry in the Blue Ridge area.
It wasn�t too long ago that manufacturing was on the decline nationally and in Henderson and Transylvania counties. With the closing of major industrial employers such as the former DuPont film plant and Ecusta paper mill, it looked like industrial jobs in our area were going the way of the dinosaurs, destined to be replaced with lower-paying service jobs.
True, we won�t see huge factories producing X-ray film and paper for cigarettes and Bibles again. The good news is that new and existing high-tech industries consider our area a prime location for expansion, in the same way that craft breweries have been flocking to Western North Carolina.
BRCC plans to use the $485,000 Mid Skills Golden LEAF grant toward its ongoing upgrade of advanced manufacturing training in Henderson and Transylvania counties. The college created its new Mechatronics Engineering Technology program in response to local manufacturers who told BRCC officials they needed more workers trained in mechatronics and advanced manufacturing to meet the needs of a more technologically sophisticated workplace, President Molly Parkhill says.
�Advanced manufacturing workers need to be versed in a wide range of technical fields including engineering, automation, machining, welding, as well as the interpersonal skills required for success in today�s fast-paced, team-oriented work environments,� she said. �Employers in Henderson and Transylvania counties are hiring and estimate they will need more than 1,000 skilled workers in the next five years.�
Mechatronics combines various engineering disciplines including mechanical, electronic, computer, software and system design for applications such as computer-integrated machining. In launching the Mechatronics Engineering Technology associate degree program, BRCC negotiated partnerships with four-year colleges to allow students to continue their engineering training at the bachelor�s degree level.
BRCC is also using funds from a Golden LEAF grant to start mechatronics courses in the fall for high school juniors and seniors at Brevard High School and Balfour Education Center. The college is upgrading its high school labs with enhanced computer integrated machining equipment. That will help students get an early leg up in advanced manufacturing skills.
The two grants to BRCC in such a short period show that state officials recognize that the college has solid plans under way for its advanced manufacturing program, says Julie Thompson, the college�s vice president of economic and workforce development. �The Golden LEAF officials had the confidence that this (money) will be used to meet the needs of our local employers,� she said.
BRCC officials should be applauded for their ongoing work to keep our workforce up to date to serve the needs of existing and prospective high-tech manufacturers. The community has a brighter future thanks to their efforts.

This musical missive is a concept album that ponders the conflicts between civilizations and the road that may lead to our extinction. It also rocks! Reminiscent of Japanese avant-noise bands like Melt Banana, Boredoms, OOIOO and the Ruins, eX-Girl spawns unpredictable, genre-twisting gems from sludgy pop to a capella calisthenics to soaring prog rumination.
Produced by avant-noise-guru Hoppy Kamiyama, Endangered Species is a superb introduction to the girls from Planet KeroKero for the uninitiated, and a fitting addition to the pantheon of Japanese noise prog. "Endangered Species" is produced by Hoppy Kamiyama, owner of the God Mountain label, who collaborated with the likes of John Zorn, Otomo Yoshihide, and more! This is their fifth full-length, and is only their second domestic US release. Their first US release is on Ipecac.
"Conventions often make listening to a diverse range of bands and genres possible. If one can conceive of what musical conventions an artist is tapping into, processing the aural information becomes manageable. The point being, when one comes across a band as UNconventional as eX-Girl, one stands up and takes notice. That's not to say that eX-Girl doesn't follow some conventions, rather they manipulate usually recognizable patterns and align seemingly incongruent styles, but emerge triumphantly from it all. The basics of eX-Girl's Endangered Species can only be broken down into a list of parts that paints an incomplete picture: Melodramatic lead vocals, thematic melodies, left-field harmonies, and unusually employed instrumentation. And of course, it would be remiss if I didn't mention the neon body paint and outlandish visual style.
With their prior album, Back to the Mono Kero, eX-Girl took that style to its pinnacle. On their return with Endangered Species (sporting two new members) something had to change, lest the band fall into relying on their own unconventional conventions. Opening with a red herring of sorts, "E-Sa-Ya" possesses a memorable theme that brings a new "accessibility" to their sound. It is the third track, though, "Pretty You Ugly," that announces the band's newest addition to their arsenal: the huge rock riff. Granted, rock riffs are about as unusual as Led Zeppelin fans, but in the context of eX-Girl, it's enough to rekindle anyone's love of guitar. Given their predilection for already bold themes, this new aesthetic pushes the band into ecstatic realms of bombast, particularly on the soft/loud "Resonance."
In the end, their sound may be a bit more user-friendly, but things are still wild enough that a commercial breakthrough is unlikely. Rather, eX-Girl neatly avoids conventionality and have crafted a sound every bit as loud as their much-lauded appearance. - tinymixtapes.com
"eX-Girl are a beautiful example of information overload. Jagged 3 part vocal harmonies, adventurous arrangements, and songs that hook you like the sucker that you are. Take all of these treats, wrap it in an ultra-bright technicolor live show with surreal homemade costumes, and you've got the sensation of being strapped in on an out-of-control carnival ride that will leave you standing in line waiting for another turn." - Mike Patton @ ichosemusic.blogspot.com

While preventative maintenance continues, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and its rail partners, BNSF, Sound Transit and Amtrak, will take a broader look at the issue and work to preserve the rail line between Seattle and Everett, a corridor essential for freight, daily commuters and intercity travel.
"This collaboration will help us shift the focus from short-term responses to repeat mudslide occurrences to a long-range solution for this vital transportation corridor," said Washington Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond. "For Amtrak Cascades to remain a viable transportation option and achieve future growth, we must look at the root causes of these mudslides and start a larger discussion among our partners about addressing them."
As the owner of the rail line, BNSF temporarily suspends passenger service to ensure safety when a mudslide occurs or a high-level threat of a mudslide exists. Amtrak and Sound Transit provide alternate transportation on service impacted by mudslides.
"Safety must remain our highest priority," said D.J. Mitchell, assistant vice president of BNSF passenger operations. "BNSF is committed to operating passenger trains in a manner that always places the safety of train passengers first and to continue to work with our passenger-rail partners on reducing the long-term risks of mudslides."
WSDOT and BNSF will continue working together to reduce the near-term potential for mudslides through strategies already in use, including more frequent preventative maintenance, conducting immediate repair and stabilization work on slopes involved in slides, improving drainage, deepening ditches next to the tracks and adding water-retention areas.
WSDOT and BNSF are also focusing on long-term engineering and design work and determining appropriate slide-prevention solutions. Some of the potential improvements are in design, with construction to start later in 2013, but they represent only a small part of the significant investments needed to virtually eliminate mudslides. WSDOT will also continue to work with its corridor partners to identify and pursue state and federal funding, with BNSF support, for long-term stabilization projects.

Sorry if this is somehow posted in the wrong spot
Any male pro wrestlers that you think are hot?
I love TNA's Motor City Machine Guns, especially Chris Sabin although I also like Alex Shelley. I like AJ Styles and Eric Young is cute. Petey Williams is ok as well. On WWE Randy Orton is sexxxy and Jeff Hardy is cute minus the face paint and Evan Bourne is nice. I wouldn't mind some of Christian too.John Morrison's abs, wow! and John Cena even though I hate him soooooo much on TV and it can't even be described. I can't think of any others who really catch my attention. anyone interested in other male pro wrestlers?

Since March 7, 2007, nearly 1,000 employees working 24 hours a day, five days a week, have completed more than 2,400 controlled blasts, all without affecting the nearby operations of MTA Metro-North Railroad or the New York City Subway.
Approximately 857,000 cubic yards of rocky muck were excavated and removed, enough to cover the entirety of Central Park one foot deep.
"This is a very significant milestone for the East Side Access project," said Dr. Michael Horodniceanu, president of MTA Capital Construction. "The caverns are essentially now fully excavated. Much work remains to be done to build the platforms and tracks and finish what is currently a raw, cave-like space. But we now have a fully built shell in which all future work will take place."
Each blast was overseen by an FDNY-licensed blaster. To conduct a blast, teams of sandhogs drill hundreds of holes measuring 1.5 inches in diameter into the mica-inflected granite schist that forms the bedrock of Midtown Manhattan. Together, the holes are loaded with 200 to 500 pounds of an explosive powder known as Emulex. After the sandhogs clear into a safe area, the blaster in charge issues a warning and triggers the blast.
A short video of sandhogs conducting one of the last blasts for East Side Access' Manhattan caverns can be found on the MTA's YouTube channel.
The contractors, a joint venture of Dragados USA, Inc., and Judlau Contracting, Inc., are continuing to perform miscellaneous concrete work until the contract is complete in June. The joint venture expects that it may need to make additional small blasts that will trim out pieces of rock in the cavern.
In addition to the blasting, the caverns under Grand Central have been excavated in part by two monstrous 200-ton tunnel boring machines that operated from September 2007 until June 2011, chewing through a total of more than 32,000 linear feet of Manhattan bedrock from 63rd Street to 37th Street.

Kaveri is an Eclipse plug-in front-end for the Indus Java slicer. It utilizes the Indus program slicer to calculate slices of Java programs and displays the results visually in the editor. The purpose of this project is to create an effective tool for simplifying program understanding, program analysis, program debugging, and testing.
JInto is a plugin for Eclipse that lets the developer easily edit and maintain resource bundles (files that hold the localized strings for an application). It features parallel editing of all language versions (side by side), warnings when no text has been provided for a specific key, or when the text for one key is identical for different languages, and a search wizard to locate unused strings (strings that are referenced, but not actually defined in the resource bundle). It has been tested under Windows and Linux.
The TeXlipse plugin adds LaTeX editing support to the Eclipse IDE. It provides both LaTeX and BibTeX editors, a project creation wizard, and a complete user manual of the editor functions. Additional features include syntax highlighting, document outline, section folding, command completion, cite and ref completion, templates, builder integration, viewer integration with inverse search, and more. The plugin makes it possible for LaTeX documents to be edited and built like normal projects in an IDE, and the viewer support makes it easy to check the outcome.
Style is the ongoing C++ port of IBM's SWT for Java, itself deriving from IBM's VisualAge for SmallTalk, with two major twists. First, it is written in 100% ISO-C++ with no specific compiler dependencies, and second, it comes with a threading model design that guarantee that users won't be stuck with busy cursors forever. It currently targets OS X, Win32, and GTK.
The Eclipe Eiffel Development Tools (EDT) are a set of plugins which implement a full-fledged, highly integrated Eiffel development environment based on the Eclipse Platform. The EDT plugins contribute a number of facilities specific to Eiffel, such as an Eiffel builder, a Cluster Explorer, and Refactorings.
The Generic Eclipse Modeling System (GEMS) is a MDD tool for Eclipse that allows for the rapid development of visual modeling tools for Eclipse based on EMF/GEF. Developers specify the rules for a domain language using a metamodel and the tool generates a diagram editor plugin that enforces the rules from the metamodel. Interpreters can then be written to traverse the model and generate code, perform analyses, or execute the model. The tool supports complex model analysis using Prolog; Java, OCL, and Prolog constraints, remote model updating via CORBA, applying CSS styles to models, model-to-model linking, exportable templates, and more.

Michigan - 38, Team-that-used-to-be-ND - 0
Gee, I had almost forgotten what it was like to enjoy college football.
Leave us your comments, thoughts and musings. And if you have any good pictures you took at the Michigan game (or any other cfb game), please email them our way.

i can't tell you if we're any better than i thought after the 0-2 start, but i can tell you we are long way from being the worst team in D-I.
can we all agree that Ty Willingham's 3rd season was better than this one?

Nice win guys.

Hi! My name is Sara. So anyway, okay, on behalf of Columbus, Ohio and buckeye fans, I would like to apologize for some of the very very immature comments by buckeye fans I have read throughout the posts. I've been browsing for about one hour now and I'm really shocked at some of the stuff OSU fans have said. Some OSU fans are bad, sure. And so are some Michigan fans. But for people who really love the sport, like me and many others... we have respect for Michigan. Rivalry? Yes. Enemies? No. Again I am sorry! Good job on the win today, Michigan! See you soon!
Go buckeyes! :)

woo finally... now lets go into penn state with this play and we could win that one...
- September 15, 2007 7:48 PM
- gitchegumee said...
Now that's what I'm talking about! A solid game on both sides of the ball. Mallett looked unsettled early, but by the end he seemed to be comfortable running the offense. And he sure seemed to be having a good time out there, even when he made mistakes.
The defensive line seemed to be playing with real passion and swarming to the ball carrier. Of course, it was hard to tell how solid they are since Notre Dame's offensive line failed to show up.
By the third quarter it began to feel like kicking a three-legged dog: it seemed almost cruel. Damn, Notre Dame was just awful. Charlie Weis looked depressed and lifeless on the sidelines. And him with eight more years on his big money contract. Yikes!
Anyway, even if it's against a program that's circling the drain, it's great to be on the winning side again. We have now proven that we can beat extremely bad teams. The real test will be Penn State. It may be a long road back to respectability, but at least we have taken the first step.
Go Blue!

I am not so sure Wichigan has turned the corner - Notre Dame is awful. Today was an exhibit of the Wichigan team in a vacuum. What do I mean? How the offense and defense worked without resistance.
That being said - Today was the first time I've ever seen all down linemen reach a QB at once. Kudos to the defense even if it was against a placeholder O-line.
The real tests will be against Penn State, Ohio State.
Observation - IL could be a tough team by the time October rolls around.

Yesterday at the Alumni Association Pep Rally there was a quote read that really fired me up today and which I think is appropriate to the emerging Michigan team:
"Fight on my men [fight on!]
I am hurt but I am not slain.
I'll lay me down and bleed awhile,
and then I'll rise and fight again."
~Sir Andrew Barton
Here's to the team that bled, but rose up to the challenge and shut out Notre Dame, however weak ND may be. Here's to the renewed fight for the Big Ten title!

Good to win, feels a little hollow. We'll know more next week, I guess. Then again, that's what I thought last week.
I didn't get to see the game and it's weird, I'm not "feelin" the win. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I'd have gotten to see it happen. Ah, well.
- September 15, 2007 8:56 PM
- TitleIX said...
Oh what a wonderful day, even if it was against a pathetic opponent. I sympathize with the ND fans. Thank goodness we aren't as bad as they are!
So...pics to follow soon.. as yours truly had the opportunity to be on the field pre-game. Yeah, sorry eat your hearts out.
And now some football info, under something I will now call Equal Time by Title IX. ;-)
1) Shawn Crable is HUGE, I mean physically LARGE. Honestly, he is one of the biggest humans I've ever stood next to in my life. He was fired up from the warm-ups an hour before the game, leading the LBs in their drills and looking serious. He was all over today on the field. FINALLY.
2) Ryan Mallett is the real deal. Yes, a few freshman gaffes--like when he tripped over his own big puppy dog feet on the wide-out throw back but generally was very solid and made good choices with the ball. Early on with the waggle, he decided to over-look his open TE and go with his WR at the 1. Threaded it right in there.
3) Stan Parrish, former offensive coach (double entendre intended) was on the sidelines and I swear they pulled up some of his former plays...specifically the waggle/throw back. He was on the edge of the field all game.
4) Mike DeBord was on the field the WHOLE game, I don't know how the hell he didn't get a flag from the refs. He was screaming at, praising, and coaching the O after every single play. Nice to see that fire (finally.)
5) Russell Crowe and his rugby boys showed up after the half and hung out with the offense for most of the second half. Russell has a not too bad looking ponytail and he and all his peeps had Michigan hats.
6) LOTS of recruits and their families on the field before the game clearly enjoying the spectacle and the situation. Was pretty cool to see the awe on their faces when they saw the crowd and the team.
7) I'm taller than the leprechan. REALLY
8) I was surprised by how angled the bowl is AWAY from the playing field. Even at the kickoff with everyone screaming I didn't have to yell to be heard by those around me...
9) Good show by the students with the maize-out, the pom-poms and getting the wave going in the third.
10) Bonnie Bernstein? Cuter on TV than in person....sorry guys. But she is pleasant and friendly.
11) Nice offensive show in the first half with some mis-direction and underneath throws. AMEN.
12) ND is really really bad. Can't tackle. They have no idea regarding their assignments. Emu Boy holds onto the ball WAY too long and got clocked lots. And he is small.
13) Massey is an idiot. He was off-sides, he forgot to come out for a PAT and a field goal attempt, and generally looked confused. pathetic. sit the kid.
14) Big psychological win for these kids as they needed this lift. Lloyd called off the dogs in the 4th which was a cool classy move.
Overall, a happy happy day in Ann Arbor. We weren't challenged at all so gosh only knows if there are significant improvements.

Lets take care of Penn State.
Love the Blog.

- god of the whoppers said...
any way you could take bonnie's spot on the field from now on?
I think anyone that wears funny leopard print ear muffs to a football game should be shot. plus, I am sure you can come up with your own material better than bonnie can.
on another note:
lloyd seemed pleasant as he came off the field at halftime. i miss the old "what the hell are you thinking" llyod. the one that is one question away from punching, er, woody hayessing a reporter.
- September 15, 2007 10:00 PM
- TitleIX said...
how I WISH I could be a sidelines reporter!!!
Anyone else enjoying the Neb/USC game??
The best part about today's victory?
Everyone is off Michigan's back now and talking about ND suckin' it up!
- September 15, 2007 10:06 PM
- Crock said...
The best part of today's game was watching Ryan Mallett - and knowing he's the future of Michigan football. The kid was having fun and that's really what it's all about.
Go Blue !!!

Congrats guys! Now I can go back and start incurring Yost's wrath by being anti-Michigan. Glad you're back! Go Bucks! Go Nits. Go Blow!

- Sgt. Wolverine said...
Two thoughts, now that I'm back home:
1)Notre Dame is absolutely terrible.
2)Regardless of how bad ND is, that was a hugely satisfying win. Both because of the last two weeks, and because it was ND.

- beast in 'bama said...
Congratulations on the win, guys. I couldn't watch much of it due to the 'Horns narrow escape at roughly the same time in Orlando.
But from what I did watch, Mallett looked comfortable, Hart was going to lead you to a win even if he had to sacrifice his left testicle, and NOTRE DAME IS GODAWFUL!! Slow, weak, poor undisciplined, unorganized - you name it, they got it.
T9: There's nothing quite like being on the field during a big game, is there? The only drawback is that it'll spoil you bad if you ever have to go back to your seat in coach.
Davenports in 'bama? You lost me on that one.
- September 15, 2007 11:03 PM
- TitleIX said...
Davenport = Couch. At least that's what my grandma called it!
and yes, the field was schway fun.
don't think that will happen again soon.
My seats are in the North End Zone which is a neat angle--kinda like XBox as you can see the offensive and defensive sets and how it all flows.
I'm a lucky girl.

Any pics of the former players that showed up when the team got dropped off?
There is one on Det News.com but wondered if anyone had any.

- carl tabb said...
Wow. As a man who has donned the pads for my share of years (no, I'm not the REAL Carl Tabb), I have to give my condolences to ND. The team, not the fans. They are pathetic. That was the ugliest display of trying-to-play-football I've ever had the discomfort of seeing. Those poor guys couodn't get out of their own way.
That being said, however, it was a good win for UM. I'm dismayed that Mallet didn't get the chance to throw more. PSU will not get run on so easily. It almost seemed like Carr knew that Henne would be coming back next week so he just let Hart kill 'em.
The D looked sweet against a jr. college O line but PSU is not jr. college. I think UM will go 11-2 but we need to definitely go with a different gameplan for PSU. Quick out passes thrown in with Hart pounding their asses and the occasional deep shot to Mario should do it on O. Crazy blitzing and knocking Morsucki on his ass will do it on D. They won't run on us for shit so we gotta pressure the QB. Get up quick on JoePa and the gang and it will all fall into place for us.
- September 15, 2007 11:13 PM
- beast in 'bama said...
Oh I got it. Couch burnin's really more of a Northern thing, I think. That really isn't practiced down here.
What will happen is some all-night moon-howling once my neighbors get home from T-town at about 2 this morning. No dog will sleep in my neighborhood tonight - and there will be a LOT of hangovers in Baptist (gasp!) churches tomorrow morning.

As big of an M fan that I am i have to bring into question (as many of us do). Was our D & O that much improved or is Notre Dame simply THAT PATHETIC this year.. Nothing against them I hate them with a passion but respect them for who they are. As far as the QB isssue, Mallet isn' bad for a Freshman. And I think I like him more than Henne right now (excluding experience and skill) because when he goes out there, like today, he just looks happy and looks like he's having FUN.. and isn't that what college football should be about to the players?
- September 16, 2007 2:10 AM
- Merrick 561 said...
On another note (p.s i used my friends account on the jessters post cuz for some reason my computer fucked up) miss I want to commend miss saraluppino for being an actual classy Buckeye fan (they do exist some of my best friends, for 51 weeks of the year at least, are buckeye fans).. and Hopefully they win untill they play us in the Big House then loose :)
- September 16, 2007 2:22 AM
- mmacrn said...
It was a good feeling to finally be on the winning side. i think all u of M fans had the pregame jitters secondary to the first two games of the season. Hart was incredible. Kudos to the O-line. Young Mr. Mallett was green but confident, and I agree, it looked like the kid was actually having fun out there.Some normalcy back in my household this weekend. I think ND is really that bad, and unfortunately for them, Crable had the D kickin' on all cylinders. I was mostly impressed with the D-line. shutting em down................Go Blue.....next Paterno's old ass..seems Lloyd has owned him for alot of years..Hope the trend continues........Go Blue !!

Sorry guys, no pics of the tunnel, I was late (not my fault) and did not get there in time. I have an ear piece radio that I listen to during the game and they mentioned it on the radio multiple times, but did not give "results" of the tunnel support. I would love to see a pic too, or at least hear the details!
- September 16, 2007 8:38 AM
- AFT said...
Finally, I did not wake up last night wondering if I was just having another nightmare of another UofM beat down (4 loses in a row sucked). What a great win and confidence builder especially for the D. Crable and crew played really good. Mallet was smiling (I think the last time I saw a UofM QB smiling and having a good time was Griese in 97'). Hart is Hart; I feel his place in UofM football history is sealed. B. Minor did not fumble. PSU next. I live in PA and PSU fans are kind of weird and pretentious like Happy Valley is the Waco of PA. One game at a time. Let's GO BLUE!!!

- scottiam said...
This win just reinforces my opinion that the entire coaching staff needs to go. The game proves we do have talented players - who can beat up on a rebuilding team that runs a conventional offense - but if Lloyd and his merry men were competent they would have come up with a defensive scheme to at least slow down mobile QBs.
Also it takes two horrible losses before our team shows some spark and hunger? Some teams play with a chip on their shoulder every game. Michigan players act like they deserve to win just because of the winged helmet.
Let's get Les Miles in here so we can dominate the Big 10 as LSU is dominating the SEC.
Go Blue!

Thanks Sara. I rooted for OSU yesterday over Washington. Why? B/c the Big 10 has looked like shit lately, and I root for the Big 10 anyway. Fucking Duke beat Northwestern! Also, though unlikely, i was a little worried that if OSU lost to Washington then we would look at Ty Will. as a replacement for Lloyd. TyWill sucks. Whatever, we beat his Irish 38-0 four years ago.
Some thoughts:
ND is god-awful, but we looked better. It was a badly needed tuneup and it gave the team a chance to execute and some badly needed confidence. They just looked more together. I'm just worried about what will happen when they see the spread offense again. We better be ready.
Lloyd Carr is a class act, and Bob Stoops is not. My dad is a Buckeye (ugrad and med school) and we was very impressed with how classy Michigan was yesterday. We could have continued to demolish ND and keep scoring, but we didn't. Running the ball on 4th and 5 at the ND 25 in the second half instead of kicking the FG or passing just really demonstrated great class and sportsmanship.
Oklahoma beat Utah St. 59-3. What the hell? Bob Stoops is an asshole. Kicking a team when it's down like that is disgraceful and impresses no one. (They did the same to Miami last week.) I hope Texas destroys OU, also because I like Texas and its fans (and its hot co-eds, too). I'm sure OU fans are great too, but I just don't like seeing football like that.

616 - I did see the cheerleaders holding the Key Play signs once, and I did spot the Key Play graphics on the scoreboard once. But it didn't seem too prominent overall.
On another note, I'm watching Browns vs. Bengals, and I just watched Leon Hall run down a speeding kick returner from behind. I thought the return man would pull away, but Hall reeled him in to make the tackle. (Of course, the defense allowed a touchdown three plays later.)
- September 16, 2007 2:22 PM
- Out of Conference said...
I agree with you to a point, but then again, a team like Utah State knows the deal heading in there. They were likely paid a large sum of money. Plus, OU may have been looking at working on a few things and getting in a "free" practice in front of crowds in prep for the rest of the season. As Spurrier once said, its his job to score points, it's the other teams job to stop him. I do agree that kicking a short FG late in a decided ass-stomping instead of grounding the ball out like Carr did is classless. I don't know if OU did that though. I also agree in that I hope UT stomps them.

#23 is Carlos Brown.
From scout.com
"terrific senior season at Heard County HS in Georgia (10-2) from his quarterback position where he posted 1512 yards and 21 touchdowns rushing on 135 carries and 541 yards and seven touchdowns passing."
Pray for his hand to heal as he is the back up QB (behind Mallett and in FRONT of David Cone heaven help us) in addition to his reps at RB...after getting the boot from his attempts at playing CB for Michigan last year
- September 16, 2007 2:52 PM
- Katie said...
Key play WAS on the scoreboard, When I saw it, I looked at the cheerleaders and they did not have signs up then, however it didn't seem to matter much. They do play some "Ad" on the scoreboard periodically and it says "BE LOUD". I have said before and was corrected.....but I really thought that the crowd was loud....I KNOW they were louder than the APPY game, and I do know that the people who sit in front of me look at me like I have 2 heads......it might be that I make enough noise for 2 heads !! ;o)

did you also catch Leon trying to stay up w/ Braylon? during Braylon's two TDs?
Hall played great for a rookie in the 2nd game of the season, but Braylon played like a #3 pick emerging in his 3rd season.

UT has struggled in every game thus far... perhaps they'll get it together before OU.
- September 17, 2007 12:54 AM
- Chuck said...
Imagine how bad it would have been if Charlie Weis wasn't the greatest offensive mind of all-time. (snicker)
The fact is that Notre Dame just flat out does not have any talent. Excluding the inexcusable game against ND 2 years ago (17-10 loss), the last 3 Michigan victories have been 38-0, 47-21, and 38-0, and none of the games were really even as close as the score indicated.

We had a BLAST in the studio last night and watched Being Elmo with the most perfect guests: Puppets and puppeteers from the Puppet Improv Project (photos from their Facebook page). Thanks to Sara Farr and Topping Haggerty for bringing Ratio, Diva, Dottie, FrankenFlower, Pink, and all the rest into the studio – our phone volunteers had their hands full all night!
In case you missed last night's presentation, you can still donate and receive the Being Elmo DVD as a thank you gift – or even your very own Elmo puppet! The story of Kevin Clash, Elmo's creator, is an incredible tale of perserverance, passion and exploration – it's inspiring for everyone and a great addition to the Independent Lens film collection.
Thanks again to our volunteers, to Puppet Improv Project, and to all of you who called in or went online with your support lastnight! You helped raise over $3,000 for your Thursday night programming on KLRU!

i just took a very unpredicted spiral downwards and thats often due to my appearance and obsessing over it. i know that sounds shallow but i just cant help it...
sometimes i really just feel ugly to the core. sometimes i hate who i am. different things cross my mind when im in the darkest places like just not eating or self harm. i realize this is obviously drastic but when i really feel like shit, it sounds right, no questions.
i like maintaing control in my life and one thing ive found i dont really have much control over is my appearance and that will at times, drive me MAD! some days i just dont want to get out of bed because i feel i look so deformed and ugly. for the longest time, ive felt i was different from everyone else, almost as if i was an alien. i even felt this way when i didnt obsess over my appearance. but now, its even worse and right now i just want to hide away from everyone.
anyways, basically sorry for pouring out my sob story here, i just have to tell someone else how i feel and that theres just so much wrong with me. comparison is a bitch.
do with that what you will. in the mean time, ill just be hiding over here in the corner lol.
end rant (about my horrid self).
