What Did Jesus Mean When He Said "Not an Iota, Not a Dot, Will Pass from the Law Until All Is Accomplished"?
from Brandon Crowe Nov 12, 2016 Category: ArticlesHere Jesus says that not one iota (jot) or dot (tittle) will pass away from the law. These most likely refer to the smallest strokes of the Hebrew alphabet, indicating that the Old Testament is completely trustworthy, even to the smallest detail. This is consistent with Jesus' attitude elsewhere. Never do we find Jesus disagreeing with Scripture. Keep Reading

from Joel Beeke Nov 07, 2016 Category: ArticlesMartin Luther said parents should not merely lavish honors and possessions on their children but should "enrich their souls with the arts, with study, with sound literature," and especially "in the fear of God."

Tests results show that Alberto Aquilani will be out for 10 days with his thigh injury, but still misses the Juventus match with Milan.
The midfielder pulled up during Friday's training session and there were fears he had suffered a thigh strain.
"Aquilani underwent tests at the Fornaca Clinic in Turin today," read a club statement.
"The results showed the right thigh muscle was stretched. His return is expected in around 10 days."
This definitely rules the former Liverpool and Roma man out of the games against Bologna and Milan.
Aquilani is expected to be back for the trip to Cesena on March 12.

Homemade Granola
Granola has been around forever but I feel like it's really taken off lately – especially homemade granola. I've always purchased my granola at the store as it was convenient and I have it laying around in the pantry for when I want to add it to some yogurt or when I need a quick snack. Often times the package that I buy doesn't have the exact ingredients that I like and I end up settling on the best premade version.
After seeing so many granola posts on Instagram I decided that it's time to finally make my own homemade version with the exact ingredients that I craved. When making your own granola you start off with the basics like oats and nuts and then you add pretty much anything that suits your taste buds. My version includes oats, nuts, coconut and dried fruit, but you could add chocolate chips, millet, flax seeds – the options are endless. Homemade granola is so good and easy to make that I'm kicking myself in the butt for not making it sooner.
This recipe makes about 1.5 pints but you could double the recipe or cut it in half depending on your needs. Make sure to store in an airtight container and eat within 2 weeks. Note that the amount of each ingredient added is based on personal preference, so if you really love almonds add more!
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1-2 handfuls sliced almonds
- 1 handful slicked pecans
- 1-2 Tbsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
- 2 Tbsp shredded coconut
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1-3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 handful dried cranberries
- 1 handful dried cherries
- 1 handful raisins
- Preheat oven to 300 F.
- In a bowl combine the first 6 ingredients (oats, nuts and coconut flakes). Add a pinch of salt, 1-3 dashes of cinnamon, maple syrup and the coconut oil, mix well.
- Pour granola onto a large non stick baking pan (non stick works too) and spread out into an even layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown, mixing every 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before adding in the dried fruit. Once completely cool transfer to an airtight container and store for 2 weeks.

Poker Nightbythe_gripping_hand©
I quickly spread the lube on my dick and over her sphincter. As I did, I took the opportunity to slip a finger in to see if she was really ready for this type of intrusion. Her sphincter muscle relaxed as my finger slipped in, so I thought she was ready. I took my position between her (and Jason's!) legs and lined up my cock with her pucker. I pressed the tip against her ass and she said, "Go ahead, but take it slow." I began to gently push into her. At first she tensed up, making it difficult, but she slowly relaxed and I began to work my cock into her ass.
She moaned and stiffened as I slowly pushed into her. Once I was fully in, she said, "OK, hold it there for a minute." I held still while she got used to the feeling. After a short time, she said, "OK, that feels good." She began to move on Jason's cock as I began to thrust slowly in and out of her ass. It took us a few moments to find a rhythm, but once we did, the sensations began to build. Jenny began to moan almost immediately, babbling incoherently. "Oh, god, I'm so full! So good...ugh...oh my god, keep fucking me!" and on like that. For my part, I had never seen such an erotic situation. I could hear Jason moaning, and I was incredibly excited, both by the physical sensations of the three-way and the almost constant moaning and thrashing of Jenny. It became difficult to keep pumping into her tight ass, but I managed. The feeling was incredible. It was hot and tight, and her muscles were almost in constant spasm around my dick. I didn't think I could last much longer, despite have cum just a few minutes earlier. Fortunately, I could tell that Jenny was really close, and Jason didn't appear to be too far behind.
Suddenly, Jenny's vocalizations went from a moaning to almost a scream, a single syllable held and keened out while her body went rigid and her muscles went into spasm, contracting randomly around my cock. Jenny calmed down for a second, then went into a series of spasms, having orgasm after orgasm, until she finally collapsed against Jason, completely limp. At about the same time, I could feel Jason begin to fill her pussy with his spunk, and that sent me over the top, causing me to dump my load into her ass.
As my breathing calmed down, my cock began to slip out of her well-lubricated ass. I looked around saw the towel that Jenny had brought from the bathroom and slid it under us to catch the outflow of juices from Jenny's well-used pelvis. Jenny, recovering slightly from her climaxes, began to growl deep in her throat with the aftershocks of her pleasure. Her eyes were still closed, and it appeared that she was slipping slowly into sleep. I used the towel to clean her up and then myself, and offered the towel to Jason. He cleaned off his shrinking but still-impressive member, and we carried Jenny into the bedroom and tucked her into bed. I gave her a final kiss as she drifted off into sleep, a smile playing across her exhausted lips.

For the fourth time this season the Marauders touted two Major League rehabbers in their lineup. Bradenton is now 4-0 in those instances. Righty Ross Ohlendorf got the start, firing four innings of scoreless, two-hit ball. He struck out three and did not issue a walk while throwing just over 40 pitches. Jose Tabata exited after two at-bats, going 0-2. He played only three innings in the field while returning from a quad strain.
Working behind Ohlendorf's strong start, Bradenton finally broke through in the sixth inning on offense. The Marauders scored twice on a bases loaded single from Elevys Gonzalez. He drove in Jarek Cunningham and Robbie Grossman, who scored his league-leading 81st run. The rally knocked Dunedin's Asher Wojciechowski from the game after five and two thirds.
Bradenton continued to push on offense in the seventh, scoring twice more on an RBI triple from Adaberto Santos and an RBI single from David Rubinstein. Two more runs came home in the ninth on a Rubinstein sacrifice fly and a Cunningham single.
The only two runs for Dunedin came off Brett Lorin in relief, the scheduled starter pushed back for Ohlendorf. Lorin earned the win allowing two runs in four innings. Dunedin's starting third baseman was Blue Jays top prospect Brett Lawrie. He went 1-3 with an RBI on Triple-A rehab for a fractured hand.
The win moves Bradenton to 12-9 in the second half. The Marauders face Dunedin again Friday at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. Jhonathan Ramos will pitch against rehabbing Dustin McGowan. First pitch is set for 7pm with radio coverage at 6:45 on 1280-AM WTMY. For more information visit BradentonMarauders.com.

Not only are the audio interconnects super important but also the power cables are super duper important. I came across a web source that I think you guys and girls will find fruitful. It has a lot of interesting information. Be sure to read the WHOLE page on the first link.
High-end power cord:
Scroll half way down and start reading on "Length Vs Sound" and down. It also covers power cord burn-in:
As much as I would like to buy me a $1200 power cord (I have $1400 cables) I think I'll go bankrupt. I will have to settle for a little bit cheaper one that costs several hundred dollars.... Only if I don't own a house and a nice car I can easily afford these top notch stuff. :(

We've been making custom ringtones on our phones for years now, but with smartphones, everything has gotten much easier. In this guide, we will run you through the process of making a custom ringtone for your Android phone using RingDroid, GarageBand, and Fried Cookies Ringtone Maker.
Choose a method
- RingDroid
- GarageBand
- Fried Cookies' Ringtone Maker
How to Make a Ringtone using Ringdroid
RingDroid is an intuitive app that lets you create ringtones from any WAV, 3GPP, ARM, AAC, MP4, or MPE3 audio file you have on your Android phone. The process is straightforward and easy to grasp after one or two attempts. The best part? It's completely free (not to mention ad-free) and you can create ringtones without having your computer on hand.
Step 1: Mount your Android phone
Connect and mount your Android phone to your computer.
Step 2: Locate & load your desired song
Choose your desired ringtone song and load it on to your Android phone. Feel free to eject your phone after uploading the song you want to use.
Step 3: Open RingDroid
Open the program. You can grab the app for free at the Google Play Store if you don't have it already.
Step 4: Select your song
RingDroid will show a list of all the music on your phone when you first open the program. Scroll through the list or use the search bar at the top and to locate the song you would like to use for your ringtone. Tap the song title to select it.
Step 5: Select your favorite part of the song
Adjust the markets to select the part of the song you wish to capture for your custom ringtone. The length and placement of the song clip can be tweaked, but keep in mind that Android ringtones continually run in 30-second (or less) loops, so don't pick something that you are going to regret later. You can also click the play button to preview the ringtone clip.
Step 6: Save your ringtone
Click the floppy disc icon at the bottom once you're satisfied with your selection. Then name the ringtone and select the type of audio file you'd like to save it as.
Step 7: Assign the ringtone
Choose whether your want to make the clip your default ringtone or assign it to a specific contact. The ringtone can later be set by going to your phone's settings and accessing the Sounds option.

If we take the philosophy that we don't have to fix a regression because it regressed a while ago we will constantly lose ground. It looks like the fix though will be different in 10.2 versus 10.3. I am looking at 10.2, but am not totally confident that I can get it fixed in short order. I would most appreciate if someone familiar with lob locators could take a look at the 10.3 fix. Kathey

In the wake of the Islamic State-claimed terrorist bombings in Brussels, which killed over 30 people and injured hundreds, a visibly vexed Obama said defeating ISIS was his "number one priority."
Obama was asked about the terrorist attacks at a press conference in Argentina, on the tail end of his diplomatic vacation to Cuba.
"You've resisted calls to alter your strategy for fighting the Islamic State and you said that your critics aren't offering any better ideas. But the attacks keep happening. Did Brussels change anything for you?" a reporter asked.
"I think it is important to recognize that this is my number one priority. I've got a lot of things on my plate, but my top priority is to defeat ISIL," Obama said.
Obama's answer was a departure from past statements about his priorities.
Obama has used the phrase "my top priority" 29 times in his second-term public addresses, according to the American Presidency Project database.
Of those 29 instances, 28 occurred in addresses that had nothing to do with terrorism. Twenty-five instances, or 86 percent of the total, referred to the economy and domestic policy concerns like paid family leave and jobs training programs.
Only one instance out of 29 mentioned terrorism, and even that instance contained considerable ambiguity.
Obama issued a proclamation about hardening American infrastructure in October 2014 that said "the security of our nation is my top priority." The proclamation included terrorism in a list of "physical threats to our infrastructure"—after "extreme weather," "climate change," "health pandemics," and "accidents."
The president's de-emphasis on terrorism is not particularly surprising. For years, he has downplayed the threat that terrorism posed to the security and interests of the United States.
In August 2013, Obama pointed out that Americans are more likely to die in car crashes than from terrorism (critics responded that car crashes do not rattle world markets, and cars do not conspire to commit mass-casualty crashes). In January 2014, Obama dismissed ISIS as a "JV" team, months before the group seized swathes of territory in Syria and northern Iraq. The president said in an interview that ISIS was "contained" the day before an ISIS cell killed 130 civilians and injured over 350 in Paris, France.
As has been documented, when Obama became president he hoped to pivot the country's focus away from foreign affairs and toward domestic concerns like health care and cap-and-trade. Even the president's signature foreign policy initiative, the Iran nuclear deal, seemed designed to wind down the U.S. commitment to contain Iran, and by extension the U.S. commitment to the Middle East.
Obama's remarks on Wednesday, then, represented a shift from his past words and actions.
A very charitable observer could conclude from this anomaly that a recent string of deadly terrorist attacks led the president to change his priorities. A different observer could conclude that the president's real priorities lie elsewhere.

2. National Conferences. Typically there are two of these per year - one in the autumn; the other in the spring. Occasionally, a third conference is organised in the summer. Information on the Conferences can be found under National Events. They are open for member schools and non-members.
3. Professional Development Seminars. Several of these are arranged each year - typically in the spring. They are one-day training opportunities for experienced IB teachers in member schools only. Details are shown in National Events.
4. Area Network Meetings. Around one hundred of these are arranged each year by the various Area Networks (local clusters of IB schools). They are for IBSCA members only.
5. Other events. Various other events on specific topics (Introducing the MYP; Marketing your school; etc.) are arranged as needed.

Consumer staples are considered relatively sticky in terms of consumer demand. By sticky, I mean that these products happen to perform well even in the face of inflation or poor economic performance. The demand for staples hardly ever changes. However, there are a number of brands dealing in this industry and consumers have generally low switching costs. It is a highly competitive and mature industry but it is also an industry that will perhaps never run out of consumers. This article is broadly focused on consumer packaged goods and specifically discusses Mondelez International Inc.'s (NASDAQ:MDLZ) expected performance.
Recent Performance
The following pie chart is a graphical representation of Mondelez's operating segments and the operating revenue contribution by each of its segments as per the figures reported in its 2012 annual report. Biscuits and chocolates combined contributed approximately 60% to the total revenues of the company.
Source: Annual Reports
Over time the contribution of each of the reported segments has remained stable except the gum and candy segment. Gum and candy's contribution declined from 17% in 2010 to 15% in 2012. Biscuits, chocolates, and beverages increased by 100 basis points each. However, the revenue generated by each of these segments has grown during the period from 2010 till 2012. Total operating revenues of the company increased at a CAGR of 5% over this time span. With regard to the geographical distribution of the company's revenues, as of the recent earnings release we see that Europe is a major contributor to the total revenue base of the company.
Source: Earnings Release Q4
As of fourth-quarter reported revenues, the operating revenues of the company remained rather flat on a YoY basis. Although total revenues generated by the EMEA, North America, and Europe regions grew in low to medium single digits, revenue generation in the Asia Pacific region slumped significantly by approximately 13%. The weaker growth in this region was the result of weaker demand for the company's cookies in China and its lower priced coffee. However, India, Brazil and Russia indicated positive performance. Latin America showed negative growth as well. That being said, revenues fell short of analysts' expectations by approximately 1.20%, equaling $9.49 billion compared to the consensus estimate of $9.60 billion. Still, the company's adjusted per share earnings for the quarter was $0.42 compared to analysts' estimates of $0.44. Higher EPS in the face of lower-than-expected revenues is a function of higher operating margins, lower interest encountered and a beneficial impact of share repurchases. The company repurchased $2.7 billion of its common stock in 2013. Thus EPS is likely to improve as per share earnings spread over a smaller number of shares.
Industry Outlook
The growth for the global confectionery industry is expected to show a decelerating trend from here onwards. The industry was previously projected to grow at a CAGR of 3% from 2011 to 2016. However, researchers have made a downward revision in the growth forecast as the industry and consumer trends showed a shift. The industry revenues have grown at a CAGR of 2.9% in a time span of 2008-2012. Going forward, the industry is expected to grow at a cumulative rate of 2.6%.
Another headwind for the major consumer packaged goods (CPG) producers is that brand loyalty is declining. There are more brands and local CPG producers than ever before meaning that there are more substitutes available to consumers. Moreover, switching costs for CPGs are relatively low. To add to the ado, coffee prices are on the hike, the impact of which will be passed on to the customers in the long term. Considering that brand loyalty is already a critical factor, a rise in price might result in lower customer retention. In an effort to retain its customers, the company has moved on to mobile marketing.
The ongoing research on current lifestyles and unhealthy foods has put CPGs in further turmoil. Researchers are excessively criticizing the harmful impact of high sugar intake. Sugar is a key component of CPGs that defines the taste, texture and formulation of these products. For these reasons further fall in CPG demand is expected. If companies respond and lower the amount of sugar in their products, taste will be affected. If they do not respond to the new health standards, their ethical image might get tarnished.
Future Outlook
For the first half of this year Mondelez is expected to meet a number of headwinds owing to continued weak cookie sales in China and rising coffee costs in the wake of lower promotional prices offered by the company. Thus, the operating margin of the company is expected to plunge. The company has made a downward revision by about fifty to hundred basis points compared to its previous revenue forecast. As of now, the company expects a growth of 4% in its topline while the earnings per share are projected to fall in the range of $1.73-$1.78. Per share earnings of the company forecasted by analysts are $1.71.
To strengthen its supply chain, Mondelez is making two large scale investments to boost growth from its Asia Pacific region and America. The company announced towards the end of last year that it is investing $190 million in India to establish one of the largest chocolate manufacturing facilities. The production plant will not only be the largest plant established in India but it will also be the company's largest manufacturing facility ever. The second million dollar plant will be established in the US. The company is investing $130 million in the region to improve its supply chain operations concerned with cookie manufacturing. It will utilize the latest biscuit manufacturing technology and will be best in its class as announced by the company. Both of these plants are expected to be completed by 2015.
The future of CPGs looks rather dim. The company is making large investments in key areas but the returns will eventually be lower in the future since the industry is now shrinking. Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious about their health, coffee prices are rising, switching costs are low, and global industry growth is decelerating. I do not believe that the company is a good candidate for investment.

"This well-researched, scholarly book on vegetables is full of wonderful recipes from the cuisines of the world and is a great reference book."—Jacques Pèpin
Everyone wants to eat more vegetables but many Americans have a hard time incorporating a variety of vegetable preparations into their everyday diet. Mediterranean Vegetables, by award-winning author Clifford A. Wright, offers a plethora of recipes sure to inspire any cook to run to the local farmers' market or grocer. For centuries, the peoples of the Mediterranean have been preparing and enjoying a world of vegetable dishes that is all but unknown to Americans. As Wright explains in his introduction, "the most exciting thing about Mediterranean vegetables is that the majority of the most popular vegetables in the Mediterranean are popular in the United States...and easily found in an American market." with a few ingredients and the help of Mediterranean Vegetables, American home cooks now have the information they need to add an alluring and dazzling array of vegetable dishes to their repertoires.
The inspiration for this book arose during the decade that Wright spent researching his previous book, A Mediterranean Feast—which was awarded the illustrious James Beard Book Award. He wanted a vegetable reference book for cooks rather than gardeners. with entries organized in an A to Z format, Mediterranean Vegetables explains each vegetable's origins, culinary history, how to grow it, where to get it, and provides recipes where appropriate. Wright includes well-known Mediterranean classics like Ratatouille, Hummus, and Gazpacho but takes vegetables one step further in dishes like Grilled Eggplants with Caraway Marinade and Green Peppercorns, Lentil and Mint Soup, Zucchini and Lamb Casserole, and Stuffed Swiss Chard Leaves. Interspersed throughout are literary and cultural references to the roles vegetables have played throughout history. Mediterranean Vegetables is a must-have reference and cookbook for anyone who enjoys reading about, growing, cooking with, and eating vegetables.
Clifford A. Wright is a renowned cook, food writer, and research scholar specializing in the cuisines of the Mediterranean. He is the author of seven cookbooks. His most recent book, A Mediterranean Feast, was awarded the Cookbook of the Year Award by the James Beard Foundation. He writes frequently for Saveur, Fine Cooking, Gourmet, Bon Appétit, and Food & Wine magazines. Wright was born in New York, lived for many years in the Boston area, and now resides in Santa Monica, CA, where he is available for telephone interviews.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 5:12 PM GMT on June 05, 2006
This is part 2 of an interview I did with the Nothwest Florida Daily News of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, that was published on Sunday, May 28. The questions were posed to me by Del Stone Jr., Deputy Managing Editor and self-admitted weather nut. I'll be back to live blogging on June 14.
Q. Your bio indicates you faced a life-threatening situation while flying into Hurricane Hugo. Would you care to elaborate?
A. We were the first plane to intercept Hugo out near Barbados, and we elected to fly in at 1500 feet, expecting it to be a Category 3 storm (based on satellite estimates). Hugo turned out to be a Category 5, and nearly killed us. We hit 190 mph winds and 5.6 g's of acceleration in the eyewall (the wings are supposed to tear off at 6 g's), and had an engine catch on fire. The pilot lost control of the airplane, and we plummeted to 800 feet above the water before the pilot was able to regain control and extinguish the engine fire as we popped into the eye. Of course, our troubles weren't over then. We were in the eye of a Category 5 hurricane, had only three engines working, and needed to get through the eyewall again to escape. It's quite a story, and I have a long account posted on the tropical page of our web site, complete with photos I took in the eye.
Q. The evacuation for Hurricane Opal in 1995 was a debacle, with thousands of people stranded on highways as the hurricane struck. Afterwards, the National Hurricane Center seemed to revise its standards for evacuation, urging people to run from the water, hide from the wind. Assuming you agree with that assessment, how would you advise people in hurricane-prone areas to handle the question of evacuation?
A. If you have the flexibility, it is good to leave on your own a day before a likely evacuation order is issued. If I lived in the Keys, I would be out of there at the first hint of something serious that might move through. It takes a full 72 hours to evacuate Keys, I would be out of there at the first hint of something serious that might move through. It takes a full 72 hours to evacuate the Keys, and hurricanes like Rita and Wilma that intensify from tropical storm strength to Category 5 in about a day don't give us enough time to evacuate this highly vulnerable region.
In general, if you are still at home when the evacuation order is given, and live in a low-lying area at high risk of a storm surge, get out. Even if the highways are clogged, your chances of survival are still better than being on the coast. But as we saw during the evacuation of Houston during Hurricane Rita, and in Florida during Opal of 1995, evacuating from the wind doesn't always make sense. In fact, some estimates put the death toll from the evacuation due to Hurricane Rita at over 150 people, 23 of them when a bus carrying 45 nursing home evacuees erupted into flames and exploded on Interstate 45. Not counting Katrina, that's a higher death toll than any hurricane since Camille of 1969 (256 deaths). So, I think we need to think hard about evacuating the very sick and elderly from the wind. But, I've heard from a lot of people who've had bad experiences trying to ride out a hurricane in an evacuation zone. The mantra I've heard so many times, is, "I'll never ignore another evacuation order!" Your best bet is to always heed the evacuation order.
Q. Many people have become critical of media coverage of hurricanes. Television clips of correspondents standing in high winds as debris flies about have become commonplace. Do you feel this approach sensationalizes storm coverage? Do you believe it sets a bad example for viewers, encouraging them to do the same? What about be concentrated coverage from weather-exclusive entities like The Weather Channel? Does such coverage skew context, giving viewers an unrealistic picture of a storm's threat?
A. I don't believe a significant number of viewers will seek to go out in a hurricane in imitation of what they see TV reporters doing. However, hurricanes coverage is too sensationalized and over-hyped for my liking. Hurricane have become entertainment. One of these days, a reporter is going to get seriously injured by flying debris. I've championed on my blog the idea of having reporters doing their show from a safe place out of the wind, and sending wind-up toys out into wind to be blown away for dramatic effect. TV stations can make a creative and dramatic demonstration of the wind's power without endangering the lives of reporters.
Hurricanes are sensational enough in their own right, and do not need dramatization. My philosophy is to simply report from my own deep knowledge and understanding of these great storms, and not try to generate more hype in an effort to drive up ratings. In contrast, Accuweather's recent press release that the Northeast U.S. might be the target of a major hurricane this season was an excessively sensational."The Northeast is staring down the barrel of a gun," the article said. Language like this is effective in scaring people and driving up ratings, but is not an effective way of warning people in the Northeast of the true risks they face this year. Everyone living on the Atlantic Ocean is at risk, every year.

Ron Artest switching to No. 15 Lakers jersey
Ron Artest's No. 37 jersey is going to be a one-hit wonder.
Artest will be wearing No. 15 next season for the Lakers. Artest wore No. 37 in his first season as a Laker in a tribute to the late Michael Jackson, whose "Thriller" album stayed atop the pop charts for 37 weeks. Artest became a champion wearing No. 37, but he put in the request late last season with the NBA to switch to his college number at St. John's and the first number he wore in his NBA career: 15.
Artest started out with the Chicago Bulls wearing No. 15, then wound up switching to Michael Jordan's No. 23 with the Indiana Pacers. Artest has also worn Nos. 91, 93 and 96 in his career. Artest switched from No. 91 in Indiana back to his original No. 15 in 2005 for the season after he was suspended 73 games by the NBA for his infamous night in Auburn Hills -- but he was traded from Indiana to Sacramento just 16 games into that season.
Artest's flighty nature is well known -- and figures to be better known if his planned reality TV show "They Call Me Crazy" gets on the air -- but going from a loose connection to the King of Pop to the number Artest wore originally qualifies as one of the more sensible choices he has made.
When Kobe Bryant switched to No. 8 to No. 24, it was meant to signify the second stage of his NBA career -- but No. 24 was a move back to his roots, not unlike Artest's. Bryant wore No. 24 originally in high school.
No Laker had ever worn No. 37. The last Laker to wear No. 15 was Tony Bobbitt in 2004-05.
Other new Lakers numbers for the coming season: Devin Ebanks (3), Steve Blake (5), Matt Barnes (9), Theo Ratliff (50) and Derrick Caracter (58). Like Artest, Ebanks wore No. 3 in college. Caracter's choice of No. 58 -- never previously worn in Lakers history -- is for personal motivation: He wasn't taken in the NBA draft until 58th overall.

The long term goal of this project is to elucidate the molecular mechanism for liver cancer development. Toward this end, we developed and characterized a mouse model that carries deletion of a tumor suppressor that is often mutated (up to 44%) in human liver cancer. These mice, lacking the tumor suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), displayed the progression from fatty liver disease to fibrosis to liver cancer and lung metastasis that has been observed in most human patients. Our preliminary data showed that a massive expansion of cells with progenitor cell properties occurs prior to tumor development in the Pten null model. We isolated these progenitor cells at the pre-malignant stage and found that they are tumor initiating cells (TICs) using xenograft models. In addition to isolating these cells, we have also begun to investigate the mechanism that lead to their growth and transformation. AKT is the best characterized downstream effector molecule of PTEN signaling. We found unexpectedly that loss of AKT2, known for its role in metabolic regulation but not AKT1, known for its role in cell growth/survival inhibits the development of tumors in the Pten null mice. A dramatic reduction in the progenitor cell activation morphology accompanied a significant delay in liver cancer development when Akt2 is simultaneously deleted with Pten. Our analysis shows that injury occurring with fatty liver is necessary for tumor development in the Pten null mice, whereas AKT2 attenuates fatty liver and injury. In this proposal, we plan to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the PTEN loss/AKT2 activation induced tumorigenesis. In the first aim, we will analyze the role of the AKT2 regulated lipogenesis on tumorigenesis and TIC cell activation. We will use dietary means to manipulate liver steatosis development and address the role of lipogenesis in tumorigenesis when PTEN or PTEN/AKT2 is lost. In the second aim, we will determine the effects of AKT2 on the transformation of the progenitor cells. We will overexpress myr-AKT2 and knockdown AKT2 in the unique Pten null and Pten/Akt2 double null liver progenitor cell lines that we have established and determine the effects of these manipulations on the abilities of these cells to form colonies, graft tumors and proliferate. We will additionally determine the molecular mechanisms (both canonical PI3K/AKT signaling and the unique metabolic signaling regulated by AKT2) that may underlie such a phenotype. In the last aim, we will determine the role of AKT2 in the upregulation of Wnt/?-catenin signaling observed with Pten deletion. We have found that Wnt/?-catenin, a pathway known to regulate progenitor cell activity, is activated in the Pten null mice. We hypothesize that AKT2 may antagonize the effect of PTEN on progenitor cell activation by controlling Wnt signaling. This may occur either through establishing a fatty liver/injury niche to induce Wnt expression or through directly regulating b-catenin activity within TICs. We will use both in TIC culture and in vivo approaches to address this aim. Together, these three aims will establish the causal effect of AKT2 activation on liver carcinogenesis in vivo and in vitro and the underlying mechanisms for such effect.
This application utilizes a liver-specific PTEN null murine model to investigate the effect of AKT2 on the initiation of liver cancer. The relevancy of this application is high because 1) a strong genetic association of PTEN loss with liver cancer has been observed in humans, and 2) the progression of liver cancer in the PTEN null murine model has been shown to be morphologically similar to that of human liver cancer. An association of AKT2 with liver cancer has been observed but the causal relationship has not yet been established. Our hypothesis, if validated, will establish AKT2 activation as one of the mechanisms that controls the progression of liver cancer. Understanding the mechanisms that initiate and promote tumor formation is crucial for the early diagnosis and prevention of liver cancer and will provide a foundation for future pre-clinical and clinical trials targeted at liver cancer therapy.
