No Ordinary Nonconference Game
Read between the lines, and it would appear that the Jets are putting an intense amount of pressure on themselves for their Sunday night game against the Cowboys.
Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said he and other coaches began putting together a game plan for Dallas during the lockout. Coach Rex Ryan opted to have the Jets practice twice this week in pads, something the new collective bargaining agreement allows teams to do only one week during the season.
Additionally, Ryan said earlier in the week that he feels more pressure in coaching this game than in any contest he's ever coached. In any case, expect the New York offensive line to be tested early and often Sunday in a game that will be watched by people who may not even have an interest in the sport.
What's at stake: The game has garnered added attention because of 9/11, but on the surface, it's just another nonconference game. Still, for the Jets—who believe it's crucial to win the AFC East to avoid having to play on the road come playoff time—every game might count in their quest to unseat the Patriots as divisional champs.
Biggest reason a non-Cowboys/non-Jets fan will tune in: It's on national television. On the anniversary of 9/11. In New York. Against America's Team. Needless to say, everyone should be watching.
When you're not watching the ball, look at: When it arises, the battle in the trenches between linebacker DeMarcus Ware and right tackle Wayne Hunter. Ware, whom Ryan earlier in the week called "probably the best pass rusher in the league," will be an enormous test for Hunter, who replaces the retired Damien Woody at right tackle. He compiled a league-high 15.5 sacks in 2010.
Ware will often go up against All-Pro left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, but expect the Cowboys to move Ware in hopes of getting a more favorable matchup against Hunter.
Most important place for the Jets to gain/prevent yards: It will be absolutely critical for New York to get the run game established against Dallas, both to open up the pass and to take the pressure off the new-look receiving corps.
If the Jets can't run the ball, Dallas will undoubtedly bring blitz packages and make it more difficult for Mark Sanchez to develop a rhythm with new receivers Plaxico Burress and Derrick Mason. The trio had just one preseason game together.
Beyond that, Sanchez said he wants to eliminate the butterflies that come along with having the new receivers. He said the team wants "to show the world everything [it's] got," but that it has stay poised, unlike it did in last year's opener.
"I think last year we were just trying too hard," he said. Sanchez struggled in the 10-9 loss against Baltimore, going 10-of-21 for 74 yards.
This week's breakout player: wide receiver Santonio Holmes. When he lobbied the Jets to make a push for the free-agent Burress after the lockout ended, he had to know that it could mean less defensive attention for himself.
Fans saw a glimpse of that in the third preseason game, when the Giants seemingly rolled their coverage toward Burress in an effort to deny him the ball and Holmes capitalized by catching a touchdown. That could happen a lot this season, and it wouldn't be a shock if it happens Sunday against a depleted Dallas secondary.
The Cowboys could be without two starting cornerbacks, as Terence Newman is out and Mike Jenkins is questionable.
Most telling quote of the week: Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo spoke about the apparent gamesmanship going on between Rex Ryan and his twin brother, Rob, who coordinates the Dallas defense.
"It's funny, because Rob had a defense already put in for the Jets, a bunch of stuff in that I think he wanted to do in different areas. Then, when the Jets [acquired safety] Andrew Sendejo [off waivers], he ended up switching a lot of that stuff up. I've never seen that before, so I think there is a little cat-and-mouse game there, for sure."
Sendejo acknowledged helping with some things, but nothing that'd be a game-breaker. "It's basically just the little things you can see on film anyway," he said.

CORRECTION: BOUYGUES: Full-year 2012 results press release
CORRECTION: BOUYGUES: Full-year 2012 results press release
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.

Reason for the correction: For Bouygues Telecom, you should read a 2012 network revenue of EUR4,631m. Paris, 27 February 2013 Bouygues press release Full-year 2012 results *Sales up 3% at EUR33.5 billion, exceeding the initial target *Results affected by Bouygues Telecom *Excellent commercial activity in the construction businesses *Net debt under tight control Key figures (EUR million) 2011 2012 Change Sales 32,706 33,547 +3% Current operating profit 1,819 1,286 -29% Operating profit 1,8571 1,1202 -40% Net profit attributable to the Group 1,070 633 -41% Free cash flow 8623 7243 -EUR138m Net debt4 3,862 4,172 +EUR310m Net gearing4 40% 41% +1 pt 1Including EUR38 million of non-current income relating to an asset disposal at Bouygues Telecom 2Including non-current charges of EUR200 million at Bouygues Telecom and TF1 and EUR34 million of capital gains on asset disposals at Bouygues Telecom 3Before change in working capital requirement. In 2011, excluding 4G frequencies (2,600 MHz band) for EUR228 million. In 2012, excluding exceptional items related to Bouygues Telecom: 4G frequencies (800 MHz band) for EUR726 million (acquisition cost and capitalised interest) and asset disposals for EUR207 million 4At 31 December The Bouygues group's sales in 2012 exceeded their initial target and amounted to EUR33.5 billion, up 3% and stable like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. As expected, results reflected the upheaval on the mobile telecoms market and a challenging economic environment. In this context, current operating profit amounted to EUR1,286 million, down by EUR533 million, of which EUR439 million was attributable to the telecoms business. Operating profit amounted to EUR1,120 million, including non-current charges of EUR200 million related to the adaptation plans at Bouygues Telecom and TF1 and EUR34 million of capital gains on asset disposals at Bouygues Telecom. Net profit attributable to the Group amounted to EUR633 million, down EUR437 million on 2011, with Bouygues Telecom accounting for EUR345 million of this decrease. As announced, the figure includes, in the fourth-quarter, a dilution loss of EUR53 million in connection with Alstom's capital increase in October 2012 and the negative effect of a higher tax charge following the 2012 Supplementary Budget Act in France. In this challenging environment the Group managed to maintain robust fundamentals, demonstrating: *commercial flexibility, illustrated by the strong momentum in the construction businesses, where the order book stood at EUR26.8 billion, 8% higher than at end-December 2011, an improvement in the TF1 group's audience ratings over the year, growth in Bouygues Telecom's fixed broadband subscriber base, with the addition of 605,000 new subscribers, and stabilisation of the subscriber base in the mobile segment; *a sound financial structure, with robust free cash flow and tight control of net debt despite the purchase of 4G frequencies. Finally, the Group's business areas were highly responsive in adapting to the situation in 2012: *Bouygues Immobilier took the necessary measures to cope with a sharp fall in the French residential property market, *A new organisation for the roads activity was adopted at Colas in France, *TF1 implemented phase II of its optimisation plan, *Bouygues Telecom took all the measures scheduled for 2012 in its transformation plan. Business areas Bouygues Construction posted sales of EUR10,640 million, up 9% overall (up 5% in France and 13% on international markets) and 4% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. The current operating margin held up well at 3.4%, reflecting the smooth execution of ongoing contracts. Net profit rose 18% to EUR267 million. Order intake stood at a very high level, rising 9% on 2011 to a record EUR12 billion. Ensuring excellent visibility, the order book at end-December 2012 stood 12% higher than a year earlier at EUR17.1 billion, with international markets accounting for 45%. Bouygues Immobilier reported a 3% decline in sales to EUR2,396 million. The current operating margin of 7.5% reflected the impact of adjustment measures in response to the decline in residential property reservations. Net profit fell 11% to EUR107 million. In a sharply contracting French market, residential property reservations fell 30% on 2011 to EUR1,687 million. Commercial property reservations reflected Bouygues Immobilier's expertise in green property developments, reaching EUR581 million despite a sluggish market. The order book at end-December 2012 stood at EUR2,957 million, down 3%. Representing 15 months' sales, it offers good visibility. Colas recorded sales of EUR13,036 million, an increase of 5% overall (up 2% in France and 10% on international markets) and 3% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. Current operating profit was EUR406 million, down EUR60 million, due to losses on sales of refined oil products and lower profitability in the United States. However, the objective of breaking even again in Central Europe was achieved. In addition, a good performance by the roads activity in France in the fourth quarter enabled to offset the delays caused by poor weather in the first half of the year and to stabilise the operating margin for the full year. Net profit amounted to EUR302 million, 10% down on 2011. The order book at 31 December 2012 stood at EUR6.7 billion, up 4%, and rose both in mainland France (up 5%) and on international markets (up 2%). TF1's sales were stable at EUR2,621 million. The 3% decline in advertising revenues across the TF1 group was offset by growth in other activities, up 6% on 2011, but dented current operating profit, which fell 9% on 2011 to EUR258 million. Operating profit amounted to EUR210 million and included non-current charges of EUR48 million in connection with phase II of the optimisation plan. Net profit amounted to EUR136 million, a fall of 26%. Audience ratings improved over the year and in 2012 TF1 confirmed its position as the undisputed leader on the freeview TV market in France. Bouygues Telecom reported a 9% drop in both total sales and sales from network, to EUR5,226 million and EUR4,631 million respectively. Fixed broadband sales from network rose 51% on 2011 to EUR627 million. Results fell sharply following upheaval on the French mobile market in 2012 but were in line with expectations. EBITDA was on target at EUR908 million. Current operating profit amounted to EUR122 million and reflected the fall in EBITDA and higher amortisation expense and provisions. Operating profit stood at EUR4 million and included non-current charges of EUR152 million in connection with the adaptation plan and capital gains on asset disposals of EUR34 million. 2012 ended with a loss of EUR16 million. All the measures in the transformation plan scheduled in 2012 were taken and savings of EUR151 million have already been made on the mobile activity in 2012. The EUR300 million of savings announced for 2013 are secured. Bouygues Telecom showed good commercial resilience in an extremely challenging environment. The mobile subscriber base has stabilised at 11.3 million thanks to the very good momentum at B&YOU. 285,000 new plan subscribers joined Bouygues Telecom in the fourth quarter to give net growth of 318,000 plan subscribers over the year as a whole. B&YOU gained 453,000 new subscribers in the fourth quarter to give a total of 1,078,000 subscribers at end-2012. Bouygues Telecom is continuing to grow on the fixed broadband market, with a net increase of 110,000 subscribers under the Bouygues Telecom brand in the fourth quarter and 88,000 subscribers in all. Bouygues Telecom had a total of 1.8 million fixed broadband subscribers1 at end-2012. 1Encompasses both broadband and very-high-speed subscriptions. Alstom As announced, Alstom contributed EUR240 million to Bouygues' net profit in 2012, compared with EUR190 million in 2011. Sustained business activity was confirmed in the first nine months of 2012/13, with order intake rising 14% on the previous period to EUR17.2 billion. The order book at 31 December 2012 stood at EUR52 billion, representing 30 months' sales. Financial situation The Group's free cash flow1, excluding exceptional items at Bouygues Telecom (purchase of 4G frequencies and asset disposals), amounted to EUR724 million2, EUR138 million less than in 2011. A EUR207-million increase in free cash flow at the construction businesses largely offset the decline in free cash flow at Bouygues Telecom, which fell by EUR297 million2. Despite the purchase of 4G frequencies for EUR726 million in 2012, net debt at end-December 2012 stood at EUR4.2 billion, EUR310 million higher than at end-December 2011, and net gearing remained stable at 41% (one point higher than at end-2011). This control over net debt is the result of a proactive financial policy that combined optimisation of the working capital requirement with selected asset disposals and control of capital expenditure. The Group has excellent liquidity (EUR9.7 billion) and an evenly-spread redemption schedule. 1Before change in working capital requirement 2Excluding exceptional items related to Bouygues Telecom: 4G frequencies in the 800 MHz band (acquisition cost and capitalised interest for EUR726 million at Bouygues group level and for EUR696 million at Bouygues Telecom level) and asset disposals for EUR207 million Dividend The Board of Directors will ask the Annual General Meeting on 25 April 2013 to approve the payment of a dividend of EUR1.60 per share, the same as in 2011. The ex-date, record date and payment date have been set at 30 April, 3 May and 6 May 2013 respectively. Board of Directors The Board of Directors will ask the next Annual General Meeting to renew the terms of office of Yves Gabriel, Patrick Kron, Colette Lewiner, Jean Peyrelevade, François-Henri Pinault and SCDM, represented by Olivier Bouygues. The Board will also ask the next Annual General Meeting to appoint Rose-Marie Van Lerberghe as a director in place of Patricia Barbizet, resigning, and Jean-Paul Chifflet as a director in place of Lucien Douroux, whose term of office expires. Cancellation of shares The Board of Directors has decided to cancel 5,074,906 shares. The number of shares after cancellation amounted to 319,157,468 and the number of voting rights to 440,569,746. Outlook In a challenging economic environment, the construction businesses enjoy good visibility thanks to record order books and are backed by a number of major strengths, such as the capacity to offer innovative, high value-added solutions, robust and diversified international operations and expanding speciality activities that help to drive growth. Bouygues Telecom is facing two major developments on the mobile market in early 2013. The first is the continuing strong growth of the SIM-only/Web-only segment. Second, further significant price cuts have already been made in the first quarter and the entry-level prices of plans with services from Bouygues Telecom's competitors are nearing EUR20. In this context, Bouygues Telecom's strategic priorities are confirmed and the transformation of the company begun in 2012 will continue with a breakthrough in two areas in particular: technical assets and the marketing of plans with services. The aim of this next stage in the transformation of Bouygues Telecom will be to stabilise EBITDA and improve the EBITDA minus CAPEX item from 2013. In these conditions, 2012 should mark the low point in Bouygues group's profitability.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — CBS Corp. said Wednesday that net income rose 11 percent in the latest quarter, beating the expectations of analysts as the company continues to benefit from the types of fees that are at the center of a dispute with one of its key cable TV distributors.

The Big Give Philanthropy in Schools programme aims to inspire the next generation of philanthropists by providing the first step towards a lifetime of charitable activity.
We are pleased to say that Oundle School recently joined the programme and Independent Education Today wrote an article about their experience – you can read it by clicking here.
The programme engages students in philanthropy and promotes the benefits of intelligent giving. Designed to be run during lesson time or as an after school activity, the scheme encourages thorough research into organisations and allows children to learn about the valuable work of a range of charities.
We are currently looking for new schools to join our free programme! If your school is interested in taking part, you can register now by clicking here.
The Philanthropy in Schools programme aims to teach students of any age about philanthropy and charitable giving. The programme asks them to research different charities, present their findings and then donate a charity voucher to an organisation that caught their interest, thus enabling students to experience the benefits of giving "like a philanthropist".
There has been a great response from schools that have already taken part as both teachers and pupils found the experience enriching and inspiring. It is very important to engage young students in philanthropy as it gives them a fantastic opportunity to learn about the idea of intelligent giving, develop vital skills, make difficult choices and experience their ability to impact the world.
If you would like to find out more about this programme, please contact Sabina Wojtowicz, Philanthropy in Schools Programme Coordinator at the Big Give, at firstname.lastname@example.com
Gregory Steele has been supporting Philanthropy in Schools for a number of years. Here he shares how his experience has not only enriched his life but has enabled hundreds of children to learn about and experience the value of philanthropy in society.
In 2013, the Dragon School in North Oxford ran the scheme for a fifth year, dividing a £2,000 sponsor donation from Dragon Sale Committee between 23 Year 8 students.
Each student used theBigGive.org.uk to short-list two projects of interest. They researched these projects in greater detail and created reports explaining which of the charities would get their support, before donating their charity voucher online.
Students were then divided into groups before discussing their choices with their peers. Each group chose one project to present and elected a spokesperson.
The sponsor and the Big Give representative visited the Dragon School to meet the pupils and hear their presentations on a fantastic range of charities.
All presentations were of a very high standard and each speaker made a very persuasive argument to support their chosen causes. The winning group presented a case for the Next Einstein Initiative – a charity focused on the teaching of mathematical sciences to African university graduates. The runner-ups' charities were Magic Breakfast and Research into Parkinson's.
So far over 2,000 students in 20 schools across the country have already run the Philanthropy in Schools programme.
In June 2012, Westminster Under School ran the Philanthropy in Schools programme for the third year. Thirty scholars, aged 12-13, took part in the scheme – which fitted well into the post-exam timetable.
Each student was asked to thoroughly investigate two charities of interest to them on theBigGive.org.uk. The diversity of projects was huge, and ranged from a London based cleft palate and lip research centre to a campaign to help community health workers in Burma.
The students learned to evaluate each project according to a set of demanding criteria, particularly focusing on sustainable impact for the money invested. They were then placed into groups and asked to discuss their charities with their peers. As a group, they then chose one project to present to the judges.
The winning group presented on a project run by the Dalit Freedom Network. The runner-ups' charities were Sparks and CORD. The judges agreed the overall standard of research and delivery in all the presentations was superb.
Gillie Howarth, who led the project at Westminster, said "The most valuable part of the experience for the participants was probably the negotiation within groups of three to settle on one project from the six they had investigated. It was excellent to see the generous team spirit which emerged and the respect for each other's contributions. Thank you to the Big Give for providing us with this brilliant opportunity to explore the world of philanthropy. Let's hope we are building a new generation who understand the importance of giving."
You can sponsor a Philanthropy programme in the school of your choice for as little as £500. All of the money will be donated to charity, and your scheme will help to inspire a new generation of philanthropists. You will receive a full breakdown of the charities that receive your donation and we can arrange an optional visit to speak at the school.
To find out more about becoming a sponsor, please email us at email@example.com.
The programme is designed to introduce pupils to the benefits of charitable intelligent giving. It provides the opportunity to practice different writing styles and prepare persuasive oral presentations, whilst basic due-diligence is an example of mathematical analysis.
The Big Give offers a core programme, including a micro-site and sample assignments for pupils, and will work with you to add the optional components that fit with your school's requirements.
For more information about running the programme in your school, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We are currently looking for new schools to join our free programme! If your school is interested in taking part, you can register your school now by clicking here.
We'll be in touch within a few hours with lots more information for you!

Abnormal Savda Munziq (ASMq), a traditional uyghur medicine, has shown anti-tumour properties in vitro. This study attempts to confirm these effects in vivo and measure effects on the immune system.
Kunming mice transplanted with Sarcoma 180 cells were treated with ASMq (2–8 g/kg/day) by intra-gastric administration compared to model and cyclophosphamide (20 mg/kg/day). After the 14th day post tumour implant, thymus, liver, spleen and tumours were removed, weighed, and processed for histopathological analysis. Blood samples were also taken for haematological and biochemical analyses including TNF-α , IL-1 β and IL-2. Splenic lymphocyte function was measured with MTT; lymphocyte subpopulations were measured by flow cytometry.
ASMq treated animals had reduced tumour volume compared to model and increased concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-2 compared to untreated and to cyclophosphamide-treated animals. No histopathological alterations were observed. The absence of viable S180 cells and the presence of necrotic cells and granulation tissue were observed in tumour tissue of treated animals. The effect on T lymphocytes was unclear.
ASMq confirmed in vivo anti-tumour effects observed in vitro, which may be at least in part mediated by increased immune activity.
Abnormal Savda Munziq (ASMq), a traditional Uyghur medicinal herbal preparations from the Xinjiang region of China has long been used in Traditional Uyghur Medicine for the treatment of diseases such as digestive cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or chronic asthma [1]. Uyghur medicine considers Abnormal Savda as a final pathologic product of "combusted" body fluid (e.g. Savda, Sapra, Khan, Balgham), heavier in weight and thicker in texture, and easy to deposit against the blood vessel thus causing dilatation, which ultimately leads to chronic diseases such as tumour and cancer. Therapy for Abnormal Savda-related diseases is based initially on ASMq, before using other drugs such as Abnormal Savda Mushil. This results in temperament recovery and body fluid equilibrium. ASMq is widely applied traditionally for the treatment of complex diseases such as tumours.
Therefore it would seem appropriate to test the effects of ASMq on the development of tumours in animals, and verify biological data that might confirm effects and orient towards a mechanism of action.
ASMq is a herbal formula that is described in the Chinese Uyghur pharmacopoeia, composed of ten medicinal herbs (Table 1) [2]. It is now produced commercially (patent no. ZL02130082.8). For years, we have been studying its effects, and so far these studies have shown the capacity of ASMq to scavenge free radicals and superoxide anions, [3] decrease biological markers of oxidative stress in man, [4] protect mitochondria and DNA [3] against OH- induced oxidative damage in a cell-free system [1], and inhibiting cancer cells proliferation and viability in vitro [2,5-7] and in vivo [2].
Table 1. Plants used in Uyghur herbal preparation Abnormal Savda Munziq (ASMq)
Because immunity plays a major role in protection against cancer, and because ASMq might have an effect also on the immune system, [8] we tested in this study not only the effect of ASMq on tumour growth, but also on markers of immunity such as TNF-α, interleukins IL-1β, or IL-2, and the distribution of T-lymphocytes. The effects of ASMq were compared to those of cyclophosphamide, a standard comparator for S180 sarcoma cells.
Chemicals and reagents
Industrially prepared ASMq granules were provided by Qikang Habo pharmaceutical Co., LTD, Xinjiang (batch number106060). Cyclophosphamide was purchased from HengRui pharmaceutical Co., LTD, JiangSu under SFDA (State Food and Drug Administration) batch H32020857. Mouse IL-1β ELISA, batch number: 56069011; Mouse IL-2 ELISA, batch number: 55708025; Mouse TNF-α ELISA, batch number: 55674004, were purchased from Bender MedSystems Co., Austria.
Animals and treatment
Kunming SPF mice (4 to 6 weeks old, body wt. 20 ± 2 g) were provided by the Laboratory Animal Centre of the Xinjiang Medical University. The mice were bred under regular laboratory conditions, i.e., room temperature and 12/12-hour light-dark cycle with free access to standard rodent chow and water. The Laboratory Animal Centre of Medicine Animal Care and Use Committee of the Medical University of Xinjiang at Urumqi approved all experimental protocols. One hundred and twenty mice were randomly divided into six groups of 20 animals:
– control group: no intervention, no treatment (normal saline 20 μl/kg orally daily)
– model group: injection of S180 cells, no treatment. (normal saline 20 μl/kg orally daily)
– Low dose ASMq group: S180 cell injection, ASMq 2 g/kg orally daily
– Medium dose ASMq group: S180 cells injection, ASMq 4 g/kg orally daily,
– High dose ASMq group: S180 cells injection, ASMq 8 g/kg orally daily,
– Cyclophosphamide (CY) group: S180 cells injection, CY 20 mg/kg daily injection.
S180 cells were supplied by Laboratory Animal Centre of Xinjiang military hospital.
Except for the control group, 0.2 mL (1 × 107 cells/ml) of seven-day-old S180 ascites was transplanted into the right axilla of the mouse. The whole operation was finished in 30 min.
These treatments were started 24 h after tumour inoculation and given once a day for 14 days.
Animal observation
Animals were observed and graded daily for activity, thinness, appearance of skin and hair, appetite, irritability.
Tumour size was measured daily using a ruler, and tumour size was plotted against time to measure tumour growth velocity.
Assessment of tumour weight, thymus, liver and spleen index
Twenty-four hours after the last treatment administration at day 14, the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The thymus, spleen, liver and solid tumours were removed and weighed. The anticancer activity in vivo was expressed as an inhibitory rate calculated by the formula: [(A–B)/A] × 100%, where, A and B were the mean tumour weights of the model control and experimental groups, respectively. The spleen, liver and thymus were evaluated by the organ index formula: spleen, liver or thymus weight (g)/body weight (g).
Histological Investigation
A portion of tumour, kidneys, thymus and liver were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and the remaining tissue was used for biochemical measurements. The tissues were fixed in solutions of ethanol 70% for 3 h, ethanol 80% 2 h, ethanol 90% 1.5 h, ethanol 95% 2 h, and ethanol 100% 1 h. Tissues were embedded in paraffin and at least four cross-sections were taken from each tumour, kidneys, thymus and liver in 4–5 μm thickness and stained with haematoxylin-eosin (H & E). Two changes each of 2 min of xylene treatment were done and finally tissue sections were mounted with DPX mountant. The slides were observed for histopathological changes and microphotographs were taken using an Olympus BX50 microscope system (Olympus, Japan).
Splenic lymphocytes function
MTT test
The viability of the spleen lymphocyte was assessed by MTT (3,4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2-5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, which is based on the reduction of MTT by the mitochondrial dehydrogenase of intact cells to a purple formazan product [5-7,9]. A suspension of spleen cells was diluted to 1 × 107 cell/L; 100 μl of cell suspension was seeded in 96-well plates (Coastar, Corning, NY) with 100 μl RPMI-1640 containing 5 μg/mL ConA, with three wells per sample. These were incubated for 12 h, 48, and 72 h in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C. and MTT assays were performed with thymus T lymphocyte. 100 μL of 0.5 mg/mL MTT in cell culture medium was added to each well and incubated for 2 h. 100 μL of 10% SDS, 0.01 M HCl solution was added to each well to dissolve the formazan crystals formed. The plates were covered with aluminium foil and kept in an incubator for 12 h for dissolution of the formed formazan crystals. Amount of formazan was determined measuring the absorbance at 560 nm using a microplate reader (DYNATECH MR 4000).
Detection of lymphocyte subpopulations
Blood was immediately collected on heparin from the orbital venous plexus after the 14th day treatment. CD3, CD4, CD8 cells and CD4/CD8 ratio were assessed by flow cytometers (FCM), using PE-CyTM5 Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e, Batch number 553065;PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD4,Batch number 553048;FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a, Batch number 553030. These kits were purchased from BD Biosciences and were used according to the BD Biosciences reagent instructions.
Evaluation of cytokines
Blood was immediately transferred into test tubes, and kept at room temperature for 30 minutes, according to the manufacturer's protocol. The blood was then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 20 min, followed by serum assays for tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α); interleukin-1β (IL-1β); interleukin −2 (IL-2) using ELISA methods (see above).
Statistical procedures
Data are expressed as mean ± SD and were analysed with SPSS 17.0 statistical software using the statistical tests appropriate to the variables. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Mice daily activities
We observed mice behaviour, autonomic activities, ingestion, drinking, hairs, faeces and urine daily. There was no secretion in eye, ear, nose and mouth. The 2 g/kg ASMq group showed normal activity, general mental state, clean fur; tumour growth incubation period (TT) was 3 days, tumour growth velocity (TS) was slower than in the model group. ASMq 4 g/kg group showed normal activity, good mental state (better than 2 g/kg group), clean fur (better than 2 g/kg group); TT was 3d, TS was slower than 2 g/kg group. ASMq 8 g/kg group showed normal activity, good mental state (better than 2 g/kg group and 4 g/kg group), clean fur (better than 2 g/kg group and 4 g/kg group); TT was 3d, and TS was slower than 2 g/kg and 4 g/kg groups. CY group showed normal activity, good mental state (better than 2 g/kg group), clean fur (better than 2 g/kg group); TT was 4d, and TS was the slowest. Model group showed decreased activity, enlarged tumour, gloomy and unclean fur, and listlessness; TT was 2d, and TS was the fastest.
Treatment effects on growth rate of transplanted S180 tumours and organ weight ratios
The anticancer effects of ASMq against S180 are shown in Table 2 and Table 3. Treatment with cyclophosphamide and ASMq resulted in markedly lower tumour weight. Compared with controls, the tumour inhibition rates in high, medium, low dose ASMq and cyclophosphamide-treated mice were 49.1%, 64.3%, 43.4%, and 50.9%, respectively. Low ASMq dosage group had significantly higher tumour weight than the cyclophosphamide group (p < 0.05). The medium-dose ASMq group had lowest tumour weight. High ASMq dose group was not different from cyclophosphamide.

Table 3. Effect of treatment with Cyclophosphamide or abnormal Savda Munziq traditional Uyghur Medicine in Mice Transplanted with S180 Tumour on organ weight indices (organ weight in mg/bodyweight in g (x ± SD))
The spleen index in all ASMq dose groups was significantly higher than that of the model control group or the CY treated mice (Table 3). There was no difference in thymus weight index, but the liver index was higher in low-dose ASMq mice than in model mice.
Treatment Effects on IL-1β, IL-2 and TNF-α
Effects of ASMq on IL-1β, IL-2, and TNF-α concentrations are shown in Table 4. IL-1, IL-2 and TNF-α concentrations were lower in the model and CY groups than in the control group. Animals treated with ASMq 2 g/kg, 4 g/kg, 8 g/kg had significantly higher TNF-α concentration (p < 0.05) than controls but not IL-1β. Compared with the model group, groups treated with ASMq 2 g/kg, 4 g/kg, or 8 g/kg had significantly higher IL-1, IL-2 and TNF-α concentrations.
Table 4. Effect of treatment with Cyclophosphamide or abnormal Savda Munziq traditional Uyghur Medicine in Mice Transplanted with S180 Tumour on IL-1β; IL-2; TNF-α in mice blood serum (mean ± SD)
CD3+, CD4+ , CD8+ and CD4/CD8 Ratio
CD3 and CD4+ cells were lower in all treatment groups than in the control group, CD3 were significantly lower in the high ASMq dose and 2 g/kg ASMq groups than in the untreated cancer model (p <0.05), a pattern also reproduced for CD4 cells, though not significantly. Only the high dosage group had significantly lower CD8+ (p <0.05) (Table 5).

Pathological examination
In the untreated Model group, (Figure 1–1 to 1–4) S180 axillary tumours had large, irregular tumour cells, with large nuclei and little cytoplasm. Tumour growth was rapid and invasive, with poorly defined boundaries between tumour and adipose tissues, In Figure 1–1 and 1–3, tumour tissue has invaded the muscle tissue. Although there was little inflammatory infiltrate, the tumoural necrotic areas were very pronounced.
Figure 1. Histological sections of S180 myosarcoma in Kunming mice. Photomicrographs of five micron thick histological sections of S180 myosarcoma in Kunming mice: 1–4 untreated controls; 5,6: cyclophosphamide; 7–10: ASMq 8 g/kg; 11,12: ASMq 4 g/kg; 13, 14: ASMq 2 g/kg.
Pathology results are shown in Figure 1.
In CY-treated animals (Figure 1–5, 1–6) islets of viable polymorphic cells were surrounded by large areas of ischemic necrosis, without sign of muscle fibre integrity. No area with viable S180 cells was found, and some areas of granulation tissue with formation of fibrous tissues were found.
In the ASMq 4 g/kg group, ischemic necrosis is obvious as well as phlogocyte infiltrates (Figure 1-11 to 1–12). The ASMq 8 g/kg group also have obvious ischemic necrosis, but less than the 4 g/kg group, and some other areas of granulation tissue were observed (Figure 1-7 to 1–10). The lower ASMq dosage group did not have signs or areas of ischemic necrosis (Figure 1-13 to 1–14).
Splenic lymphocyte function
IN ASMq 2 g/kg, 4 g/kg, 8 g/kg groups splenic lymphocyte proliferation was found, with an apparent dose-effect relationship (Figure 2). At the different times (12 h, 24 h, 48 h) after administration, the 4 g/kg dose was associated with the most T cell proliferation.
Figure 2. Splenic lymphocyte proliferation. Variations in splenic lymphocyte proliferation: a: normal untreated controls; b: model untreated controls injected with S180 cells; c: cyclophosphamide-treated tumour-bearing mice; d, e, f: ASMq-treated tumour-bearing mice.
ASMq is widely used in traditional Uyghur medicine for the treatment of complex diseases such as tumours. Previous studies have indeed found an antiproliferative effect of ASMq both in vitro on HepG2 and CACO cell lines [6], and in vivo on methylhydrazine induced colon cancer in rats [2]. It induces cytotoxicity and apoptosis in vitro[5,7]. ASMq also appears to have immune-modulating effects [8], which may also play a role in its antiproliferative activity in vivo.
In the present study in S180 implanted mice, we confirm the antiproliferative effect of ASMq on the cancer cells. There was an increased spleen index and lymphocyte proliferations. ASMq increased IL-1β, IL-2, TNF-α. IL-1β and IL-2 are important lymphokines in vivo, and can promote the proliferation of T cells, B cells, and macrophages. In the anti-tumour immunity which is predominantly cellular, T cells are the main immune cells that can be cytotoxic directly, or indirectly through the secretion of cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ. Many of the cytokines , such as IFN-γ or IL-2, can activate natural Killer (NK) cells. NK cells in the absence of antibodies can kill tumour cells in vivo. Activation of NK cells induces LAK cells and cytotoxic T cell maturation, etc., which in the anti-tumour immunity play an important role in regulating lymphocyte proliferation. In addition, activated NK cells can release cytokines TNF-α, IL-2, etc., and stimulate macrophages.
Though these effects were for the most part statistically significant, there was no clear dose-effect relationship, with the middle dose of ASMq often more effective than the higher dose. This may be related to increased cytotoxicity with the higher dose. The antitumoral effects of ASMq were not very different from those of Cyclophosphamide on the S180 model, [10] though the effects on cytokines were different with a greater effect of ASMq on TNF-α and IL2, but not on T4 or T8 distribution.
According to the Chinese cancer research standard, a Chinese herbal medicine is deemed effective when the tumour inhibitory rate reaches 30% and above. ASMq easily surpassesd that threshold at all tested doses [11,12].
Beyond the antitumoral drugs derived from plants (such as the vinca minor derivatives or the taxanes) other traditional herbal medicines have shown antiproliferative or cytotoxic effects on the same S180 mouse model, alone [13] or combined with cyclophosphamide [14], and on other animal tumour models [11]. Other herbal extracts or traditional medicines have demonstrated immune-modulating effects [15,16].
In conclusion, the Uyghur medicine Abnormal Savda Munziq, that is traditionally used to treat or prevent cancer, showed in this study inhibition of injected S180 myosarcoma in mice. ASMq appeared to activate tumour-inhibiting or killing processes through the activation of lymphocytes and lymphokines or chemokines, in addition to effects on cell division, DNA synthesis and apoptosis demonstrated in vivo on other cancer models [5-7].

|Reviews for This One Last Chance
| It's 2015 chapter 1 . 2/11
Ha, loved the frozen peas and red balloon part! XD
| APassionForReadingAndWriting chapter 1 . 3/4/2014
This is the cutest, funniest and most adorable story I've ever read! I love the whole priest thing! :D Great idea, even it is quite random! Nice story :D :D :D I love it :-)
| AlysonSerenaStone chapter 1 . 12/29/2013
Very entertaining read! Your plot lines and dialogue are always just amazing! There's just no other way to describe it. The whole having a priest was priceless and Danny asking him to do a jelly-o shot was just even better. Once again, brilliant as always!
| subtly.obvious chapter 1 . 5/30/2013
hahahaha this made me laugh out really loudly. I love this, this is brilliant! :D
| auroraglider chapter 1 . 5/22/2013
Monkey cute.
| Autore Raita chapter 1 . 5/1/2013
Your stories always make me smile :)
Thank you.
| yay chapter 1 . 4/12/2013
Silly but amusing.
| Minkaos chapter 1 . 4/4/2013
Aww, this story really tugged at my heart. Danny's hilarious and it's really clear how much he loves Susie. I really enjoyed reading your story.
| glowingstar101 chapter 1 . 3/31/2013
I like how silly this is haha
| ant0006 chapter 1 . 1/4/2013
Hello, just writing this to say that this oneshot is amazing. Seriously, I just obtained several weirdos looks from family members who are apparently not used to their daughter laughing for no apparent reason.
Danny is endearingly stupid (or at least acts like it) and I hope that some day I will have a boyfriend who brings me a priest to apologise for his mistake :)

One word LOL or is it three words? Well, cute story!
| MEG0205 chapter 1 . 8/7/2012
Cute! Love your stories!

| theKnobblyKneedWriter chapter 1 . 4/19/2012
Oh god. Can your oneshots get any better?
| Hecate's Diamon chapter 1 . 4/4/2012
Ahahahah! I actually laughed out loud when I read his sad attempt at the Santa Clause line! Too funny! I really enjoyed this one as a one shot. Danny is just so ridiculous I don't know if I'd like him in a full length story, but as a one shot he was perfect. So damn funny! And jello shots are delicious!

"The pant does not come in a short length. They can be shortened by an experience tailor, but the cuffs have zippers so that will make it a bit more complicated. We have the Obermeyer Athena Ski Pant, that comes in the short length. "

Only goggle that works
May 29, 2015 | Posted by | Gender: Male Sport Interest: Triathlon Age: 25-34
This is the only goggle that has worked for me and I have tried quite many. Others will fogg or leak after 50 meters. With these I can swim as far as I like. Vision is not as clear as with some lenses when not swimming, but does not matter when this is the only one that does not fog in water.
After one year of use the strap holder broke and now I am ordering new ones.
Thanks perfect goggle for me.

Just doesn't fit right
Feb 18, 2015 | Posted by | Gender: Female Sport Interest: Triathlon Age: 35-44
I received these in the mail and they are gorgeous. But as soon as I tried them on, very disappointed. I ordered the small because I have a smaller face and even that was too big and the bridge isn't flexible so it matters. I also pushed them in a bit to see what the suction felt like because I've been having issue with my goggles filling up on my flip turn, and these only had enough suction when I pressed them down enough to where they literally were rubbing against my eyeball. You wouldn't be able to blink. I was so excited with the design and I returned them the same day I got them. For the price, I expected better since I normally buy just whatever pair is on sale.
