Spirit Attachment
Dan clutched his chest and left arm with his right hand. His flushed face contorted with pain, tears squeezed from his eyes. He appeared to be suffering a heart attack right there in front of me. I was stunned. At that point I had to make a choice between calling 911 or trusting the process. I trusted the process.
Robust and healthy, Dan was thirty-eight years old, yet had suffered with symptoms of heart trouble, including chest pains, for some years. Thinking it might be a past-life trauma, he wanted to explore this condition through regression therapy. As he probed his subconscious for the cause, I thought we might have uncovered a traumatic memory of another time and place. Or, he might be having a real heart attack. I shuddered at the thought.
In a few moments, Dan slumped in the recliner chair, his face relaxed and smooth. His right hand dropped to his lap. I checked his lips to see if they were turning blue. I watched his breathing. Lips remained pink, chest continued to rise and fall with each rhythmic breath. He was okay; I was greatly relieved. We continued.
Dr. Baldwin: "What just happened?"
Client: "I just died."
Dan spoke in a calm voice, with only a hint of surprise.
Next, I asked my favorite therapy question:
Dr. B.: "What happens next?"
Something always happens next. It's a safe bet. A safe question in a therapy session.
The one who had the heart attack was an older man who had lived in Hawaii. He died suddenly on the beach during his evening stroll, just as suddenly as Dan's brief "heart attack" episode only moments ago. A past life? Death in a prior lifetime? Possibly. It would not be unusual for such a past-life death to affect him in present time.
We continued.
Dr. B.: "What happens next?"
After leaving his body, the fellow hung out on the beach, unaware of time passing, unaware he had died. He was confused. This is typical behavior for an Earthbound (EB) soul of a newly deceased human. I suspected this EB had attached to Dan. The words and descriptions of what happened are the words and memory of the EB, coming through Dan's voice. An entity influences the thinking of the client, who usually does not know the difference. The details of the narrative confirm the presence of an attached spirit, an entity.
The man, as a spirit, saw a little kid getting on a school bus near the beach. The little kid was Dan at six years of age. This could have been a day after the man's death, or a year, or ten, or fifty years. That information was not essential in this session.
For some reason the older man was drawn to the child and joined Dan, apparently in the area of his heart. We could have explored the connection between them, possibly from another lifetime they shared in some way. But for the moment it was more appropriate to release Dan from the emotional and physical residue caused by this parasitic spirit attachment.
The EB was fixated in his own death throes, reliving the painful experience over and over again, repeatedly imposing on Dan the painful heart attack symptoms that were part of his body memory of dying. It had nothing to do with Dan. Medical examinations had never revealed any organic cause for the symptoms that had plagued Dan. It was more than psychosomatic; it was psycho-spirituo-somatic. The psyche of the attached spirit was imposing the painful physical sensations on Dan's body.
With clarification of his situation, the spirit of the old man agreed to go. He was released into the Light. Most Earthbound souls don't consciously want to harm the host; they are often confused and don't know what's happening.
Dan was scheduled the next day with his doctor for a reassessment of his condition. The nurse who took his blood pressure and checked his lung volume kidded him about earning a gold star. His tests were normal for the first time since his initial appointment with the cardiologist. There were no more signs or symptoms of heart trouble, no more chest pain for Dan.
In 1980 I attended a lecture on past-life therapy by Dr. Edith Fiore. During her presentation, Dr. Fiore mentioned the problems caused by spirits of deceased human beings interfering with living people. I was incredulous. She was serious. Spirit possession was real, and she treated the condition. Wait a minute! This is the stuff of horror movies like The Exorcist. As she revealed in her lecture, it was also part of her psychotherapy practice.
Dr. Fiore recommended a book by Annabel Chaplin entitled The Bright Light of Death, which described this condition from the viewpoint of a psychotherapist. Chaplin described a number of cases of discarnate entities interfering with people. Her approach consisted of releasing these entities from the living people and sending them on to a bright light. The results with her clients seemed miraculous.
I was deeply affected by this book. The first few chapters had a powerful impact on my understanding of reality. I had to set the book aside. Though the idea that spirits could be the cause of mental and physical illness in living people was new and foreign to me, I somehow knew it was true. My personal reality was forever shifted.
More than a month passed before I was able to pick up the book again and finish reading it. The effect on me was profound, and I knew the course of my life and the nature of my life's work had taken a new direction. My natural curiosity led me to other books on the subject of spirit possession and exorcism, or "spirit releasement," as I eventually termed the work. A year later, I began seeing clients for past-life therapy. With eyes to see and ears to hear, I soon discovered and recognized the signs and symptoms of attached entities.
While there were a number of books on past-life therapy available by that time, there were none that described and outlined a rational, methodical clinical approach to relieving the condition of spirit possession. As a scientifically trained and educated health professional, I needed such a methodology. Eventually I discovered that treatment of the human mind and soul provided a clinical approach in a spiritual context.
Religious texts accepted a preconceived notion of demons. The classic adversarial approaches to exorcism were steeped in ritual and superstition. The accepted method of exorcism seemed violent and without compassion. I could not accept this. As a result, I rejected the traditional religious approaches of both exorcism and deliverance ministry and sought a more gentle approach.
Dr. Carl Wickland, a psychiatrist and an avid Spiritualist, published his first book, Thirty Years Among the Dead, in 1924. The volume described his work, which he called "depossession." The spirits who afflicted his patients were invited to channel through his wife, Anna, a gifted medium. His conversational approach was practical, methodical, and compassionate. He gently guided each spirit to the awareness of its own death, then invisible helpers from the spirit world assisted the confused Earthbound soul to find its rightful place in the Light. It was not necessary for the patient to be present in the treatment room. I studied his work and used it with my clients. I coined a new term for this process of mediumistic work: "remote spirit releasement."
Wickland's methods were the basis for techniques I developed in my own practice. In most cases I work directly with the client, the one with the problem of spirit attachment. I can conduct the remote spirit release through the client as the medium or connecting link to the target person, a family member or loved one. Remote spirit releasement is very successful in removing attached entities from people at a distance, much as it was in Wickland's time.
Several books have been published on the use of pendulums for psychically discovering and releasing attached entities. However, since I have only rudimentary psychic ability, I chose to explore and develop a clinical approach I could understand, use effectively, and teach others to use.
What happens to those newly deceased souls who try but cannot return to their own body? Can souls really get lost, unable to find the Light? Can a disembodied personality "haunt" houses and other places? Can they hang around and bother living people? Can discarnate entities affect relationships between people? Can spirit possession be real?
The answer is a resounding—and disturbing—yes. Lost souls are found in haunted houses, cemeteries, battlefields, and sites where natural disasters have occurred such as earthquakes, floods, and volcanoes. And many Earthbound souls are attached to normal, living individuals like you and me.
Our language contains numerous references to spirit interference. Think of the many statements people make:
"Something just came over me."
"I don't know what got into me."
"I am beside myself with anger!"
"I am not myself today."
"It was like I was watching myself do that. It just wasn't me!"
"When I looked into the mirror, I saw someone else's face!"
"What possessed you to do that?"
The condition of spirit possession—that is, full or partial takeover of a living human by a discarnate being—has been recognized or theorized in every age and every culture. In 90 percent of societies worldwide there are records of possession-like phenomena.
Clinical evidence suggests that discarnate entities can and do influence living people. This condition has been called "possession," "possession state," "spirit possession syndrome," "spirit obsession," and "spirit attachment." More recently, the term "dissociative trance disorder" was included in an appendix of the DSM-IV, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, fourth edition. The APA establishes the diagnostic criteria and terminology for mental disorders in this country. The definition of the disorder is a clear description of entity possession.
People have discovered and described many different types of non-physical entities and energies such as: crystals; shapeless black blobs; thought forms; various types of human and nonhuman spirits; "little people" such as trolls, imps, gnomes, devas, which are the nature spirits associated with plants (this is often found with cocaine or marijuana addiction); damaged souls of victims of genetic experimentation; implants of various kinds; and other unidentifiable objects and energies.
Many people have the mistaken belief that there must be some bizarre outward signs caused by an interfering spirit as depicted in scenes from The Exorcist. Incidentally, the movie was based on a true case, but some of the symptoms and behaviors portrayed actually came from two other cases, combined for dramatic impact. The incidence of such violent demonic possession as is displayed in that movie is rare.
In clinical practice, the aware counselor will frequently discover a condition that can best be described as spirit or entity attachment. The term possession implies total takeover of the victim/host; entity attachment causes interference with normal function and can influence behavior.
The condition is very common, and it seems that almost any trauma can cause a vulnerability to entity attachment. Some investigators in this field estimate that between 50 percent and 100 percent of the population are affected or influenced by one or more discarnate spirit entities at some time during their lives. Yet most people manage to live reasonably successful lives, even in the face of such interference. Through the years, I continue to be inspired by the indomitable human spirit.
While there are many different kinds of nonphysical beings and energies that can interfere with the living, the most common are the human soul and the nonhuman entity. Human souls include the spirit of the terminated pregnancy and the mind fragment of a living person. Nonhuman entities include the classic demon, described in religious literature, and the extraterrestrial, or otherworldly being.
Human Entities
The Earthbound Human Soul
The Earthbound soul, usually described as an Earthbound (EB), the surviving consciousness of a deceased human, seems to be the most common type of discarnate entity attached to living people. Attached souls of different age groups behave differently. An old and feeble person may act confused and lost, and just as feeble in spirit as they were in real life. Some women may present themselves as maternal and nurturing, sexy, angry, secretive, or helpless and whining as they were when living. Some young men may be arrogant, hostile, domineering, challenging, controlling, as macho as if they still had their own strong male bodies.
Like any teenager, the newly deceased spirit of an adolescent is caught between childhood and adulthood when the child personality is disintegrating and the adult personality is forming. Usually a person at this age has little orientation toward the spiritual side of existence, and is often defiant toward authority figures, yet aware and even resentful that they need their elders to survive. This is a difficult time in life and even more difficult in death. The newly deceased spirit wants to stay near the grieving parents, yet wants to be free. However, they usually don't know where to go.
Earthbound souls of children often appear frightened and confused about what happened to them, where they are, lonely without mother, and cautious about talking to a stranger including the therapist. They can't understand why their parents don't come. They hide and often hesitate to speak.
These entities can become enmeshed in the aura, the energy field around the body. According to yoga philosophy, there are seven major chakras, or centers of consciousness, in the body, which lie along the spine and are associated with various physical, mental, and emotional aspects of human behavior. The base chakra, associated with the color red, lies at the base of the spine and has to do with survival and baser instincts. The second is the center of sexual and generative energy; the color is orange. The solar plexus is the seat of power, control, will, with yellow color. The heart is the center of unconditional love and is associated with green, the healing color. The throat chakra is concerned with creativity and expression and has the color blue. The brow chakra, associated with the pituitary, is called the Ajna center, or third eye, and has to do with inner seeing, intuition, and has the color indigo. The crown chakra is at the top of the head, associated with the pineal gland, and is considered the location of connection with the God-consciousness, with the color violet.
The emotional or physical trauma endured by a person can render those energy centers vulnerable. They are opened like doors to allow entry and attachment by an entity. This can be discovered in past lives or in the present. An entity can attach to any chakra, or energy center of the body.
They can also attach to the surface of the body, to any interior space, or to any organ, as in cases of heart or other organ transplant. The soul of the organ donor can follow the transplanted organ into the new body. Multiple organ donations from a deceased person to several people can cause a fragmentation of the newly deceased soul, as a soul fragment follows each organ to its new destination. Grateful organ recipients may get more than anticipated.
Organ Transplant
Sharon wanted to attempt a remote spirit releasement for Don, her husband, who had just undergone a heart transplant. Denise, their teenage daughter, had stayed with him in the recovery room following surgery. As he regained consciousness his first words to her were angry and scolding. It was unlike him to treat her in this manner, and her feelings were hurt. He did not seem like himself.
In the session, I directed Sharon to visualize Don. Immediately she felt a physical sensation of tightness in the chest. She repeated the first words that came into her mind:
C. (Client): "It's too tight in here. It's too tight, I can't breathe."
Questions revealed that these words belonged to Alex, the young man who was the heart donor. Alex and some friends were playing Russian roulette. Alex lost; he shot himself in the head and he died instantly. His mother was grief-stricken; his father was angry at the stupidity of the act. They accompanied the body to the hospital. They gave permission to use the organs for transplantation.
Alex was baffled by the episode. It had happened so fast, he did not yet understand. He watched the surgeons removing his organs. Alex's words came through Sharon's voice.
C.: "My kidneys went one way, my liver went another way, and my heart went somewhere else. I followed my heart because that's where I live."
His first awareness of the destination of his heart came when he saw Don on the operating table with his chest cut open and his heart missing. Alex was physically larger than Don so there was less space in the chest cavity. This was the cause of the sensation of tightness first expressed in the session.

Before delving into the subject of how to hide an octopus in your pants and how the Detroit Red Wings' faithful lapse into Mollusk Madness most every late spring for a half-century, let's first deal with one fact:
These suckers stink.
"I washed my hands five times, and I still smelled like octopus," Matt Mansour, 41, said by cell phone while boating in the Detroit area the other day. Mr. Mansour was the Red Wings fan who hurled a 5-pound octopus over the glass and onto Joe Louis Arena ice on May 2, just before the start of the NHL Western Conference finals Game 2 against Dallas. "What a mess. What a stinky mess.
"I may be at Game 1," he said of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Penguins at Joe Louis Arena tonight, "but I don't think I'll ever throw an octopus again. Too much stress. But it was fun. I always wanted to do it. It certainly got the crowd fired up. Everybody was high-fiving me afterward."
Five hand-sanitizings later, he still smelled like team spirit.
For the great unwashed among Penguins followers, here is the story how the smelly tradition of tossing octupusses onto the ice started.
Back when there were the original six hockey teams, a team needed to win only two playoff series to earn the league's coveted Cup. On their way to sweeping Montreal in the Stanley Cup finals, the Red Wings of Gordie Howe and Sid Abel, et. al., won eight straight games in the spring of '52, a rare occurrence. A couple of brothers and business owners from Detroit's Eastern Market decided to commemorate the feat.
Pete and Jerry Cusimano, because they owned a fish market, decided for the end of Game 4 on April 15, 1952, to toss an octopus onto the Olympia Stadium surface, with each of its tentacles representing a postseason victory for a team that coincidentally later, in its gory days, became known as the Dead Things.
"Octopus has a great flavor," said Kevin Dean, owner of the Superior Fish Company in suburban Royal Oak, Mich., famed for selling more than 100 pounds of octopusses in a single Red Wings gameday, some even to ingest (in salad, spreads, dip and octochili). "You are what you eat, and octopi basically eat crustaceans, crabs, other mollusks. They'll dine on sharks. Even ducks." Pause.
"Even penguins."
A hockey tradition unlike any other continues this week at The Joe -- as Joe Louis Arena is affectionately known -- where security guards reputedly attempt to stop cephalopod smugglers at the doors. Red Wings spokeswoman Lisa Hickok said at least three octopuses have been confiscated from ticket-holders through the first three rounds of the playoffs, and promptly pitched. Hopefully, not into the Detroit River beside the arena.
"Sometimes, they can smell them coming in on people," she said.
Ms. Hickok said octopus tossers are, if possible, apprehended and taken to Detroit city police on patrol at The Joe. The tossers aren't usually escorted from the building, but they can receive a ticket and fine, she said. This was news to a Detroit police spokeswoman, who declined to give her name but said she never heard of such a thing. Could be a disorderly conduct charge, she offered. Or, maybe, if the object actually hit a player or official on the ice, assault with ... a deadly appetizer? OK, we made up that last part.
It is indeed "octomania," as eloquently phrased by Superior Fish's Mr. Dean, who runs the family business with his brother, David. The roof of The Joe is adorned in the postseason with a huge, inflatable octopus mascot named Al. Some Detroit radio stations hold contests for tickets such as bobbing for cephalopods or mollusk catching.
Earlier this postseason, the Nashville Predators raised a fuss about fabled building operations manager/ice-lord Al Sobotka whipping The Joe crowd into a frenzy by picking up a thrown octopus and spinning it over his head. As a result, the NHL -- we couldn't make this up, either -- threatened a $10,000 fine if Mr. Sobotka or anyone twirls around a mollusk anywhere on the ice surface.
So Mr. Sobotka waits until he has returned to the safety of the Zamboni doorway, still within full view of the 20,058 Joe seats.
"I was kind of surprised by the rule, but what am I going to do?" said Mr. Sobotka, in his 37th season with the Red Wings. "The fans get a big jolt out of it. The TV people get a big jolt out of it."
And he shared his spinning secret: "You got to get a firm grip on it and kind of twirl it real fast, otherwise the tentacles hit you in the face."
Superior Fish offers a how-to guide and ice-pitching protocol the Dean brothers dub "Octoquette":
1. Boil the octopus for a half-hour to remove the natural moisture so the ice doesn't get slimed.
2. Hurl an octopus only after a Red Wings goal or at the completion of the national anthem. Game 2 hurler Mr. Mansour noticed how somebody tossed one at the end of that Detroit victory: "It was a ... sea monster. The thing had to be 30 pounds. How the hell do you get that over the glass?"
3. Throw it "away from any players, officials and personnel," to quote the SuperiorFish.com Web site. "If you have any doubt in your ability [to hit such a target area], PLEASE refrain from propelling your Octopi."
Mr. Dean and his employees go so far as to ask potential hurlers for their seat assignment, physical shape and throwing ability when selling octopuses that normally range from 1 to 16 pounds. They also will set up buyers with a kit containing large plastic bags and gloves to deal with boiling and hiding the octopus. Thanks to Superior, it has become so easy that parents have been known to celebrate the end of Pee Wee hockey seasons with a ceremonial cephalopod fling.
Any Detroit fans who plan to attend any of the Cup games in Pittsburgh better stash their eight-legged friends in their carry-on luggage because they'll have a hard time buying them here. Dan Wholey, owner of the legendary Strip District fish market that bears his family's surname, said that anyone trying to purchase an octopus during the Finals has to present a valid Pennsylvania ID. He said Wholey's will not sell their octopuses to visiting Red Wings fans; a sign above the store's octopus display says as much.
"Octopus is for eating, not for throwing," Mr. Wholey said. "It's a beautiful part of the seafood diet and we don't want any of ours on the Penguins ice, and that's a fact. The Penguins are going to win the Stanley Cup and we're strong supporters of them."
Now, about those smelly hands on Mr. Mansour, a manufacturer's rep who sells -- how Detroit -- car parts.
He went to Superior, where, he said, they boiled the octopus for him: "It is just nasty. It stinks like hell." He took the boiled-and-bagged prey to the downtown arena and thrust it down the seat of his pants.
"Everyone knows how you do it: You basically shove it down your pants and cover it up with your jersey," said Mansour, who wore a baggy Steve Yzerman No. 19. "I was using an inflatable Stanley Cup as a distraction. They almost didn't let me into The Joe because of the inflatable Stanley Cup. [Finally,] they gave me permission to go in with it.
"One [fellow fan in line] said to me, 'Is that an octopus in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?' But you have to be a little clandestine. Hide it [at your arena seat] and wait for the opportune moment. From where we sit, I wouldn't have been able to do it after a goal -- it would've hit the [protective] netting. So the national anthem was the best time to do it."
Game and mollusk on.

We need more motions like motion 314, and less that ban our media, social or otherwise, from doing its job - informing and giving freedom to those who want to voice to be heard when they tell their opposing opinions. We need to encourage free speech at UK universities, not silence.
Does anyone really think that marking people for exclusion helps win arguments? Or increases tolerance? Or makes the world a better place? Or makes the world safer for those with minority views or opinions or customs? I don't. If you disagree, please, do tell me where you think I'm going wrong.
It is truly remarkable that the very institutional barriers and treatment of BME students Malia has spent last two years exposing and campaigning against are being used to discredit her clear victory... If this doesn't prove the reality of racism and Islamophobia on our campuses what will.
As I sit here typing I am ridiculously conflicted. This week has been great for the charity that I run, we've been all over the media. Given that we raised a grand total of £3500 last year we desperately need the exposure and it is encouraging that, finally, we are the go to charity for this issue.
I don't think we give ourselves enough credit for actually how difficult and emotionally exhausted undertaking a degree can be. It's very likely that we've moved away from home for the first time, away from all of our support structures, our friends and family.
Then there are images that draw us in, over and above aesthetics. I wondered how the new generation of photographers, those with a timely political agenda, make a place for themselves at the visual pulpit?
For their part, higher education providers can increase levels of student support, embedding academic writing skills more deeply into the curriculum and communicating expectations from the outset. But certainly, the majority of students do not intend to commit plagiarism. On the contrary, they're genuinely fearful of the consequences.
As a 19-year-old, white, middle class student, you wouldn't think that racism would really top my personal list of issues I have within the student politics movement. But that couldn't be further from the truth...
I had good A Level results. I'd worked part time whilst I was at school. I was even voted the class president of our GCSE citizenship project where we promised to eradicate poverty in Africa. I was employable and I was going to beat the system.

Girls have Emma Watson, Beyoncé, Gloria Steinem, Caitlin Moran, Taylor Swift, Malala Yousafzai. But is there a male voice that speaks quite as loudly, and in quite such a populist way, to make this generation of young men proud feminists?
Just what were you thinking? Did anybody warn you about the dangers of attending university in Britain? Did you, even for a moment, stop to consider whether life at home or a job at your local Subway would protect you from the whirlwind of intellectual adventure, hellhole of differing opinion and carousel of aggressive debate that make university so worthwhile?
No-one in this discussion is honestly questioning anyone's "right" to hold such views - they are simply pointing out the ramifications of doing so. "No platform" calls - when actually made - are often taken by those who already feel marginalised and want to kick back against that which they consider to be a negative or oppressive force.
I have to admit that when I left university I tried pretty hard to distance myself from the student world. Two weeks before graduating I moved out of ...
So you've just spontaneously booked a plane ticket to spend a weekend away in Berlin. But you are not so sure of what to expect, what to do and where to go... Here are some top cultural sights and cultural tips to consider when exploring Germany's capital!
There seems to be an arrogance in the higher education sector too when it comes to how domestic and foreign students are treated- we seem to be under the impression that because we have such world-renowned institutions of learning that students will keep coming no matter how we treat them. Maybe they will, but perhaps they shouldn't - perhaps Britain doesn't deserve them.

CDX2 is a member of the caudal-related homeobox transcription factor gene family. Additionally we are shipping CDX2 Antibodies (200) and CDX2 Kits (25) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 4 out of 4 products:
These results provide evidence that CDX2 plays an essential role in functional trophectoderm formation during primate embryonic development.
Suggest that NKX6.3 (show NKX6-3 Proteins) might function as a master regulator of gastric differentiation by affecting SOX2 (show SOX2 Proteins) and CDX2 expression and the NKX6.3 (show NKX6-3 Proteins) inactivation may result in intestinal metaplasia in gastric epithelial cells.
Immunohistochemical panel of CDX2, p120ctn, c-Myc, and Jagged1 proteins would be to distinguish between low/high grade dysplasia in histologically challenging cases of Barrett's esophagus.
CDX2 single-nucleotide polymorphism is associated with cancer risk.
CK7 (show KRT7 Proteins), TTF-1 (show NKX2-1 Proteins) and napsin A (show NAPSA Proteins) are predominantly expressed in primary lung adenocarcinoma patients, with CDX-2 being inconsistently expressed.
Results point out the complex interplay between the DSB DNA repair activity and the homeoproteins HoxB7 (show HOXB7 Proteins) and Cdx2 in colon cancer cells.
Changes in CDX1 (show CDX1 Proteins)/CDX2 mRNA expression in gastric mucosa following H. pylori eradication showed only insignificant results
findings illuminated a role for NOD1 (show NOD1 Proteins) signaling in attenuating H. pylori-induced Cdx2 expression in gastric epithelial cells
Nuclear transcription factor CDX2 inhibits gastric cancercell growth and reverses epithelialtomesenchymal transition in vitro and in vivo.
that CDX2 downregulation is associated with mismatch repair deficiency, right-sided tumors, and poor differentiation at both the mRNA and protein level
We conclude that CDX2 is a sensitive and relatively specific marker for yolk sac (show ADCY10 Proteins) tumor among the nonteratomatous germ cell testicular tumors
showed novel molecular regulation of CDX2 on Oct4 (show POU5F1 Proteins), and provided important clues for clarifying the mechanism of interaction between CDX2 and Oct4 (show POU5F1 Proteins) in embryo of mammals other than mouse
CDX2 is required for proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells. Direct CDX2 targets in ISCs (show NFS1 Proteins) may be activated or repressed.
cells in preimplantation embryos that localized in an initial outer position initiated the expression of Cdx2. cells that changed their position from an outer to an inner position downregulated Cdx2 expression and contributed to the inner cell mass.
Overexpression of CDX2 inhibits the growth of the gastric cancer cells in vivo and in vitro.
Intestinal stem cells transform into gastric stem cells on loss of transcription factor Cdx2.
GATA4 (show GATA4 Proteins) and HNF4A (show HNF4A Proteins) control distinct aspects of intestinal homeostasis in conjunction with transcription factor CDX2
pSMAD (show SMAD1 Proteins)/CDX2 interaction is essential for the switch toward an intestinal phenotype in Barrett's esophagus.
Cdx2 is important for the correct specification of trophoectoderm from the morula stage.
These findings underscore previously unrecognized roles for Cdx (show CDX1 Proteins) members in intestinal tumorigenesis
results thus indicate that CDX2 is not required for TE formation during bovine development; nevertheless, it is necessary for maintaining TE integrity.
This gene is a member of the caudal-related homeobox transcription factor gene family. The encoded protein is a major regulator of intestine-specific genes involved in cell growth an differentiation. This protein also plays a role in early embryonic development of the intestinal tract. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with intestinal inflammation and tumorigenesis.

Slithering Into Fair Park
Family vacations are supposed to be fun and stress-free--especially if you are a 6-year old. After spending a lovely week in San Antonio with the family, my parents decided to stop off at a snake farm on the drive home. Their next great idea was to put their extremely young daughter on one of those novelty heart-rate machines that was conveniently placed by the rattlesnake pit. Needless to say, we were running out the door to our car 30 seconds later (probably in fear that if we stayed longer they would have to explain to the ER nurse why their daughter had a heart attack). I also blame the movie Clash of the Titans for my snake fear--thanks, Medusa. Geico is sponsoring a reptile event this weekend to give serpents and related creatures a good reputation again. North Texas wildlife experts will be on hand to educate us about these cold-blooded creatures and if it's a good idea to keep one as a pet. The Museum of Nature & Science (1318 S. 2nd Ave. in Fair Park) will hold Reptile Fest this Saturday and Sunday. The ticket prices range from $5.50 to $8.75.

The two joked and laughed as the President declared Chief Buthelezi was "my traditional leader, my chief and my prince". He paid tribute to the head of the Zulu Inkatha Freedom Party (IPF) as one of the people who worked hardest for his release from 27 years of imprisonment under apartheid.
Mr Mandela then stunned onlookers when he referred to simmering violence in KwaZulu-Natal, saying: "There is a problem, but there is no crisis."
It was a curious display from a man who only the previous day had told journalists he was ready to seek additional powers so he could to cut funds to Mr Buthelezi's KwaZulu-Natal administration, which he said had been violently plotting against the central government and supporters of the African National Congress (ANC).
For his part, Mr Buthelezi, Home Affairs Minister in Mr Mandela's Government of National Unity, showed no irony when he declared: "I am a loyal member of the President's cabinet." Twelve days ago, however, he told followers to "rise and resist" a government he accused of arrogance and treachery.
Government officials sought to portray yesterday's display of bonhomie as the result of a conciliatory gesture by the President to calm a situation he created after three speeches this week accusing Inkatha of fomenting a rebellion in KwaZulu-Natal.
Supporters of Mr Mandela say he was shooting from the hip on Monday when he first threatened to withhold funds from the province if Inkatha did not stop agitating against the government. He was angry and frustrated by Inkatha's rantings for special regional dispensation. Mr Mandela yesterday said he had accepted Mr Buthelezi's explanation that he had not intended to foment revolt.
But the situation on the ground was still tense and the potential for greater bloodshed remained. One IFP provincial cabinet minister yesterday told foreign journalists to steer clear of "unsafe" rural areas. "People in the countryside are tense and angry and suspicious. It is very dangerous."
No amount of public hand-pumping can hide the fact that unresolved questions still loom over KwaZulu-Natal. Most important is Inkatha's demand for international mediation on a range of issues, including Zulu self-determination and provincial autonomy. Mr Mandela accepted that demand last year to get Inkatha to take part in the April 1994 elections. The ANC, however, now it is in power, believes mediation is unnecessary and that any outstanding issues can be resolved internally.
Sources close to the ANC say the government will continue to refuse to bend on the issue. At the same time, it is unlikely Inkatha will back away.
Political analysts yesterday said sooner or later Mr Mandela will have to stop wavering and confront his rival, or risk looking weak.
In the meantime, however, those hoping for reconciliation are optimistic that yesterday's kiss-and-make-up session might signal happier days ahead.

Pulmonary diseases rank third among the leading causes of death in the United States. The availability of high resolution MDCT makes it possible to image in-vivo lung structures in previously unattainable details, thus stimulating great interest of using imaging to phenotype lung abnormalities for better understanding of lung anatomy and its correlation to lung function. This may lead to earlier detection and diagnosis as well as possibly to more efficacious individualized patient management. There are indications that fissures integrity and configuration may be correlated with lung function and may play a role in the susceptibility of individuals to the development of specific lung diseases such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease). Fissure integrity may also be a primary factor in determining progression of diseases such as pneumonia. However, subjective assessments of fissures completeness and configuration as well as surrounding tissues are typically done subjectively by radiologists and pulmonologists and these assessments are both time consuming and error prone. To take advantages of available advanced CT imaging techniques and to provide a non-invasive way for assessing these relationships, we propose to develop automated computerized schemes to visualize and quantitatively measure and classify pulmonary fissures structure and completeness and then assess correlations, if any, between established lung function measures and differences in lung structures. To achieve these objectives, we will (1) assemble a large and diverse CT database of over 1000 lung CT examinations that cover a wide range of depicted lung diseases, (2) optimize a previously developed prototype computerized scheme for lung fissure detection and lobe segmentation and test its generalizeability, (3) develop an automated quantitative computerized tool for computing a summary index for fissure configuration and fissure incompleteness, (4) evaluate our computerized schemes by comparing it with the subjective results of three experienced radiologists, and (5) assess the correlation, if any, between lung anatomy and lung function using statistical analyses. The unique advantages of this project include but are not limited to: (1) pulmonary fissure/lobe analysis is performed, analyzed and visualized in three-dimensional geometric space using computational geometry analysis and as a result have minimum dependence on anatomical knowledge of lung structure, and (2) lung functions may be studied non-invasively by analyzing pulmonary structures reconstructed from high resolution CT images on either a lobe-by-lobe or a whole lung basis. We are encouraged by the success of our preliminary studies that supports the feasibility of our approach.
This project aims to ascertain information about the relationship, if any, between pulmonary fissures anatomy, including but not limited to fissure completeness and lung function through the development and testing of an objective, automated computerized detection and classification scheme. The long term goal is to enable an objective robust and consistent computerized approach to improve accuracy of early detection and classification (diagnosis) of lung disease and possibly to enable better management of patients as well as provide a useful tool for accurate early assessment of therapeutic efficacy.

David Rockwell—an architect best known for theaters, grand restaurant interiors, and posh hotels—is getting into the prefab game.
He has partnered with Fred Carl* of the appliance company Viking Range to build the first luxury prefabricated homes for Carl's new modular housing venture, C3 Design, Inc. Rockwell says that the modular homes will offer "a luxury design at a less than luxury price." He will unveil the design for a house called "Pinwheel" today at the Dwell on Design conference in Los Angeles.
Prefab architecture is typically associated with affordable housing, not luxury design. Because prefab buildings are constructed offsite, then shipped for assembly, they are less resource-intensive than traditional buildings. Rockwell and his team hope that with some architectural finesse, they can create stylish digs with minimal environmental impact. "Prefab didn't need to mean compromise in any way," he says in a phone interview. Ultimately, the architect plans to work with C3 to design interior additions like prefab wine cellars.
Creating a home that doesn't necessarily look like a cookie-cutter container became one of the key challenges. "When you have a building block like a rectangle, you don't want to have a railroad situation," Rockwell says. "That limitation became the key contributing factor to the design."
His 2,400-square-foot house consists of four rectangular rooms arranged around a 500-square-foot interior courtyard. Rockwell was inspired by his childhood in Mexico, where "outdoor space was part of the lifestyle." The house features two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, with a study that can be converted into an additional bedroom. The kitchen comes complete with a 10-foot-long marble island and professional grade appliances. "I love the fact that you have this little private retreat where you can entertain outdoors and it's connected directly to the kitchen," Rockwell says.
Since a prefab house can be shipped anywhere, Rockwell wanted to find a way to ensure the houses could fit into the local landscape, even if that landscape looked radically different from one buyer to the next. The exterior of the house will have a variety of aesthetics so that it can blend in just as well in Phoenix as it does in Honolulu. A hanging screen on the outside of the house—available in everything from steel to reclaimed wood to green landscaping—offers another way to give the house a more tailored aesthetic. "In a modular landscape, what we try to do is come up with a design that is very flexible," Rockwell says. The more customizable a house is, the less it looks like it came straight off a conveyor belt.
For some, that means an eco-friendly way to build a swank vacation home. For others, it may make a carefully designed home a slightly more budget-friendly option (prices haven't been released yet). Rockwell homes for the masses! Ish.
*An earlier version of this article referred to the founder of Viking Range as Carl Fred. His name is Fred Carl.

Skip to comments.McCain Campaign: News Media Demanding DNA Testing of Palin Family
Posted on 09/02/2008 8:04:10 PM PDT by kristinn
McCain presidential campaign strategist Steve Schmidt went on the record with the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz today, revealing the depths to which the mainstream media has sunk in their efforts to destroy the family of Republican vice presidential pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Schmidt said that the campaign has been deluged with demands from reporters that the Palin family submit to DNA testing to assuage baseless rumors promulgated by the Democratic party's favorite website, the Daily Kos.
Schmidt accused the media of being "on a mission to destroy" Sarah Palin.
Kurtz writes that Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos, believes the made up allegations against Palin and her daughter are legitimate. Kurtz fails to note that Moulitsas writes for the Post's sister publication, Newsweek.
Schmidt also said reporters are demanding to see the birth certificate for Palin's newborn.
The news media is treading on dangerous ground with their despicable behavior regarding the Palin family. They are arousing an anger in Americans all across the country who see themselves in the Palin family and are beyond outrage over how they have been trashed.
The media beasts have sought to put the Palin family on trial. It is the media themselves who are on trial but they are too arrogant to realize it.
I'm sure Karl Rove's got a machine to handle that.
If even half of Americans feel the way I do about this whole thing.....the Dims are in a world of hurt come November .....no matter what the damn polls say...... ;)
We still don't have a birth certificate for Oblahblah, but the Palins must "submit" to DNA testing:
Up is down, down is up.
Black is white, white is black.
Of interest to you, simply because MSM reporters and outlets are demanding such things.
The Democrats and the Drive-Bys have become nothing but brainless, evil juveniles.
I know. Just a light correction
These ridiculous demands are going to cause one huge backlash for the McCain-Palin ticket.
Prayers lifted for the Palin family so that they will find strength in their family and that they will embrace each other tightly in the face of all this trash from the leftist media.
This kind of garbage antics will do nothing but ignite a firestorm among voters.
This is the time for McCain to show his brass.
He can make them, and the Messiah they are working for, look like silly partisan fools and not worth considering (or voting for).
Can he, will he? Or will he play nice, be considerate, and work the "other side" of the aisle?
"When the test comes back that Trig is her son, the liberals will look extremely foolish."
Personally, I believe she just needs to tell them publicly...as a mother...that they can go STRAIGHT TO HELL. End of story.
This, the trashing of Governor Palin, is the lowest I have ever seen the Left and the Media (same thing) stoop. Sickening. Infuriating. Unbelievable.
It would just be the start of their demands. It's ok to tell people no.
They get stronger because NO ONE EVER SLAPS THEM WITH A LAWSUIT!
1) An AIDS test
2) his legal Birth Certificate
3) All the documents published from his work with Ayers and the University in Chicago
4) A drug test
Sounds like a fair trade...
Did you see Newt eat MSNBC's Ron Allen lunch for him? Allen questioned Palin's experience. Newt compared Palin and Obama then challenged Allen to name one thing that Obama has done. Beautiful!
"...demanding to see the birth certificate for Palin's newborn..."
What we really need to see is a bona fide birth certificate for Obama.
There will be backlash.
Ok, my gaydar just went DING DING DING! I bet there's no anti-Christian bias behind this.
In many other country's these guys would be already shot dead just like in Russia.
Who is the owner of KOS? Where do they live and can we follow them 24/7?
I pray Sarah slams them to the curb tomorrow night.
Race card failure — I'm voting for the minority, I'm voting for the girl.
The Democrats have left the planet.
I am a fervent supporter of the 1st Amendment, and all of the rest of our Constitution, but this stuff is really beyond anything I've ever seen or expected. The selection of Palin for the ticket has got to be viewed to be so very potent by the Dims to cause such incredibly blatant ignorance. That we are seemingly powerless to prevent this trash from being spewed out is simply galling beyond belief.
I think it's illegal for McCain to accept foreign money, but Al Gore may know some impoverished monks who will launder it for you.
"Unfortunately, the Rabid Left happens to be very entrenched in most neighborhoods in America."
Starting in the mid-to-late 60's the left concentrated on local elections, libraries, schools, and colleges. Plus professional orgs, and the like.
Now we slowly are waking up.
That's why it's important to vote even if the only office is dogcatcher and it's uncontested.
Hey, what ever happened with the DNA results from the baby that women John Edwards was cheating with had?
I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. I knew the drive by's were disgusting, but this is just insane...... every time I think they've reached a new low something like this pops up.
I think Gov. Palin needs to use part of her speech, coming up, to stand up for her family and totally obliterate the drive by's.
What she needs to do is volunteer to submit for a DNA test, then provide the birth certificate ON THE CONDITION that Obama show us his. AND then demand he tell the truth that is IS Muslem and he IS an Indonesian Citizen.
Obama still hasn't released his. What his campaign released was a "summary" of the actual birth certificate ( even the validity of that is in question ). The actual birth cert is on record in the archives in Hawaii. It contains not only what is on the summary, but the parents signatures and hospital of birth. Of course that is corroborating evidence . It would list the hospital which would in turn have their own records. By the MSM just ignores that little fact.
Or just slaps them........
The Daily Kos is the news media?
I want to see Todd Palin and Levi Johnston knock some teeth out of some MSM heads.....then I want to be on the jury
How low can they go?
Sure... Right after the Dems produce Barack Obama's real birth certificate.
Usually I just mock and ridicule the Left, but now I am really angry. The disgust level is off the charts.
That's a depressing thought. I know that they've been in control of public education for decades now and are pushing their agenda there, but I was hoping that enough Americans still care enough about their country to be disgusted.
If we don't win this fall, it's going to be tough.
See my post #60.
Which reporters?
It's time to fight back!
It's that privacy thing.
"How low can they go? "
No one knows because when one thinks that they can sink no lower, they always manage to do so.
Worse than that. It's hello United Socialists States of America goodbye republic and hello Civil War II. I have never been this scared.
These people are more deranged than the characters in Alice in Wonderland.
McCain Campaign: News Media Demanding DNA Testing of Palin Family"
As soon as BHO shows his REAL birth certificate!
Are they demanding to see Barry's birth certificate, as well?
Remember how the Nazis treated the Jews? Now the Leftist Separatist Nazi media is acting just like the Gestapo acted towards the Jews. Brown shirts rioted in Saint Paul, and the Obama/Ayers connection, posting Sarah Palins SSN, and even investigating her library account. I think the real chickens have come home to roost. If Obama appears in a starched brown uniform soon, I will not be surprised

Our neighbor has a lot of used wood. So when I saw the old wooden stairs, I thought of innovating it and make it a wooden table.
Measure the wood so that you will have equal sides for the stand of the table. You must consider the equality of the sides especially the stand.
Carefully saw the woods as measured. REMEMBER! Be Careful! Do not rush in cutting it.
Reunite the woods. Nail them carefully to their respective places. Test the table if it is durable.

Napoleon Hill was an American author who is widely considered to be one of the greatest writers on success. His works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. He became an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933-36. "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of Hill's hallmark expressions. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach of the average person, were the focal points of Hill's books, 3 of which are included in this fantastic audio bundle.
Hill's Philosophy of Achievement was published as The Law of Success, a life-changing guide that has sold millions of copies. Now you can hear 24 hours of the incredible philosophy upon which success is built.
The Lost Prosperity Secrets of Napoleon Hill consists of a series of magazine articles Hill wrote between 1919 and 1923 for Success Magazine. Discover the principles designed for putting these steps to success into action. It is in these articles that Hill honed his theories of the success philosophy for the ordinary person. This time-tested wisdom resonates as strongly and as appropriate today as when it was first written.
A primer in success-building, The Magic Ladder to Success is Napoleon Hill's compact distillation of his lifetime of learning. He offers 17 factors that make up his "Law of Success" philosophy. These key principles capture the ethics and actions that empower all who harness them to become leaders in the field of their choice. Leaders are not born, Hill argues; they are molded by a remarkably similar, simple, and dynamic set of habits. This lost classic - long out of print, is newly available in this audio edition revised and updated for the 21st century.
Be inspired to be all you can be with these 3 Napoleon Hill classics.

"Excellent read"
It should be required reading for every high school student. The principles that he shares are essential to success.
"Life Changing"
He was ahead of his time. This book has stimulated and improved every aspect of my life.
"I enjoyed reading the Law of Success"
This is a great book. Looking forward to applying the principles of this book. The two additional books (prosperity secrets and the magic ladder of success) serve as refresher or essentially earlier versions of the Law of Success. Enjoy your read!
"Fantastic book comes alive by Grover Gardner"
This is by far the best time I've invested among all the self-help and self-improvement books. This is my top favorite as the classic stands to its reputation.
Time Management Made Simple by Brian Tracy is comparable among the few I've read along the lines of this book. Brian Tracy has done a great job in this audio book overall even though the title seems to imply it is all about time management, since the book covers many more aspects of building proper and better habits.
Yes and I find Grover Gardner's performance is consistent and I love his voice and reading mastery.
It roused my whole self, made the higher truths of life ring in my head.
The Teachings of Napoleon Hill: The Law of Success is the main content of this book. The second and third book will come across repetitive but I loved hearing them as well.
"Amazing book"
Yes, this book opened my eyes in so many ways!
This book should be taught in school, period.
In my opinion and to my surprise the narrating done by Erik Synnestvedt is not that good (I have listened to him before, he can do much better). Grover Gardner on the other hand, is great!
All of it
Too many to mention
Some may say he is dry but I enjoyed his voice
Just trying to educate myself in a wide variety of subjects
"Very helpful!!!"
It is very simple with practical examples- stories.Very easy listening and relax. It is like a story with meaningful examples.
I would definitely recommend it for personal development.
"One of the most amazing books"
Everything about this book is great, i would recommend this book to all who are looking to find their mission in life.
"I listen to this over and over"
I listen to this book before I go to sleep and love it.
I learn more about myself every time I listen.
This is one of my favorite motivational audiobooks and authors
I was hoping for something like Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People". You know, old school timeless wisdom? Or maybe a more elaborate version of "The Secret". Instead, I got agonizing dribble. I really don't understand the hype over Napolean Hill. This book is junk. Sorry - I believe in the power of my mind and prayer. I know karma. And I know junk when I hear it.

New variable-population paradoxes for resource allocation
We identify previously unnoticed ways in which agents can strategically distort allocation rules, by affecting the set of "active" agents. (i) An agent withdraws with his endowment. (ii) He gives control of his endowment to someone else and withdraws. (iii) He invites someone in and let him use some of his endowment. (iv) He pre-delivers to some other agent the net trade that the rule would assign to that second agent if that second agent had participated. In (i) and (ii), he and his co-conspirator may end up controlling resources that allow them to reach higher welfare levels than they otherwise would. In (iii) and (iv), he may end up with a bundle that he prefers to the one he would have been assigned had he not engaged in the manipulation. We show that (i) the Walrasian rule is not "withdrawing-proof", nor "endowments-merging–proof, nor "endowments-splitting–proof", but that it is "pre-delivery–proof", and that (ii) canonical selections from the egalitarian-equivalence-in-trades solutions satisfy none of the properties.

Hello. Anyone home?
He didn't say that the cooks didn't deserve to be in the raffle (which they obviously do). He said he didn't feel like he got what was advertised. He probably also didn't realize that the cooks have to put up that much money. No reason to thump him IMO.Little Steven said:So a cook spends two or three hundred or more of his/her money to give away for no other reason than wanting to share their cooks and you are pissed that you didn't get in on the drawing. How was the food? Your admission didn't go to the cooks.LDR said:Drove in for the Plano Eggfest, and was excited about the chance to win an egg. All the advertising I saw online talked about it. Then I saw a sign that said two of the three drawings would be limited to the cooks (1:00 and 3:00). Well, damn. So, made sure I was there for the 2:00 drawing and found out the 2:00 was limited to the cooks as well. Asked the announcer about it and he said only cooks could win the eggs. Maybe this aggravated me more that it should, but the raffle didn't seem to match up with the announcements.
