Intestinal paracellular transport or paracellular permeation in-between intestinal epithelial cells is regulated by tight junctions. Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) have a defective intestinal tight junction (TJ) barrier, manifested by an increase in paracellular permeability. The defective intestinal TJ barrier is an important pathogenic factor of CD that allows increased paracellular permeation of toxic luminal antigens, leading to intestinal inflammation. Tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, has been shown to play a central role in the intestinal inflammation process of CD. An important pro-inflammatory action of TNF-? is to cause a functional opening of the intestinal TJ barrier, leading to an increase in paracellular permeation of noxious luminal antigens. The TNF-? induced increase in intestinal paracellular permeability has been postulated to be an important mechanism contributing to the intestinal TJ barrier defect in CD and other inflammatory conditions of the gut. The broad objectives of this grant proposal are to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate the TNF-? induced increase in intestinal TJ permeability and to determine the potential therapeutic targets to prevent the TNF-? induced defect in TJ barrier and subsequent development of intestinal inflammation. To achieve these objectives, we intend to use both in-vitro (consisting of filter-grown Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells) and in-vivo (mouse intestinal perfusion system) model systems. Our preliminary studies suggested that the TNF-? induced increase in intestinal epithelial TJ permeability was regulated in part by ERK 1/2 and p38 signaling cascade induced increase in myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) gene activity and microRNA induced down-regulation of occludin gene expression. Based on our preliminary studies, we advance a novel hypothesis that the TNF-? induced increase in intestinal TJ permeability is mediated in part by ERK1/2 and p38 signaling cascade induced activation of MLCK gene and modulation of microRNA expression. The proposed specific aims are to: 1) elucidate the intracellular and the molecular processes that mediate the TNF-? induced increase in MLCK gene activity and intestinal TJ permeability;2) delineate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate the TNF-? induced down- regulation of occludin gene and protein expression;and 3) delineate the mechanisms involved in TNF-? induced increase in intestinal permeability in-vivo and determine the therapeutic implications of targeted preservation of TJ barrier function in TNF-? induced intestinal inflammation.
Patients with Crohn's disease have a leaky gut, characterized by an increase in intestinal permeability to harmful antigens in the intestinal lumen. The studies proposed in this grant application seek to provide novel insight into the cellular processes that lead to the leaky gut of Crohn's disease. These studies also seek to identify potential therapeutic targets and strategies to induce therapeutic re-tightening or normalization of leaky gut in Crohn's disease.

Insurance Overview (Continued)
HMO (Health Maintenance Organization)
An HMO is a network of healthcare providers, hospitals, and pharmacies that offer medical care to plan members at reduced costs. Members pay a fixed monthly premium to receive these benefits. With an HMO, you must choose a primary care physician (PCP) from within your network. Your PCP is responsible for your general healthcare, prescriptions, referrals, and approval of any additional medical care. Any care received by a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare professional within your HMO network will be covered by a small co-payment. A co-payment is the fixed amount you pay for services such as doctor visits and prescription drugs at the time the service is provided. If you receive treatment outside of your network, you will have to cover the full price.
The advantage of an HMO plan is that is has low out-of-pocket costs. You pay the same premium each month, regardless of how much medical care you receive. The co-payments for each doctor's visit or service you receive are less than the deductibles you would have to pay with other plans. There is also less paperwork for you to deal with. Members of an HMO are usually given a card to present at each doctor's visit instead of filling out forms. By reducing out-of-pocket costs and paperwork, HMOs encourage members to seek medical care early before problems become severe.
HMO members have reduced out-of-pocket costs, but they also have less flexibility and choice when it comes to receiving healthcare. They must receive all their treatment within their network. The only out-of-network care allowed is emergency care, but there is a strict definition of what that includes. HMO members may also have difficulty getting specialized care. HMOs require you to get approval before it will pay for some services. Your PCP must approve any care you receive from another doctor or specialist and provide a referral. If you seek treatment outside of your network, or without approval from your PCP, you will have to pay the full cost. HMOs only pay for services that they can show are effective and may require you to try less expensive tests or treatments before it will cover more expensive ones.
PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)
A PPO is a group of doctors and hospitals that provide medical services to a specific group or organization. PPOs contract with an insurance company, an employer, or another type of organization to provide services to that group at discounted rates. In return, the organization creates an incentive for its members to use the PPO network. PPO members don't prepay for medical services. You pay a co-pay for each service as you receive it. The PPO sponsor will then pay the remaining amount directly to the healthcare provider. The PPO sponsor and the healthcare provider determine the cost of each service in advance. PPOs are more flexible than HMOs because members aren't required to receive care from within the PPO network, but they pay less if they do.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Memorably showcased as a guest vocalist on Federico Aubele's Panamericana (2007), Argentine newcomer Natalia Clavier proceeded to pursue a recording career of her own the following year on ESL Music, the label of Thievery Corporation. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Clavier grew up in a household filled with music, as her mother enjoyed everything from North American soul/R&B to Spanish singer/songwriters to classical. In time, Clavier became inspired by jazz, particularly the work of Sarah Vaughan, and began pursuing a career as a professional jazz singer. Her ambitions took her from Buenos Aires to Barcelona, Spain, where she made the rounds as a performer and eventually crossed paths with producer/musician/songwriter Federico Aubele, a fellow Argentine expatriate from Buenos Aires, who had recently experienced a wave of international acclaim with the release of his debut album, Gran Hotel Buenos Aires (2004), on Thievery Corporation's ESL Music label. At his invitation, Aubele and Clavier began performing and ultimately touring together, and she contributed vocals to his second album, Panamericana (2007), also released by ESL Music. Thievery Corporation producer Eric Hilton was impressed not only by Clavier's singing but also by a ten-song demo of hers recorded with Aubele, and so he elected to produce her debut album, Nectar (2008), and release it on ESL Music.

A new 'Day' for EID?
On Oct. 11 Harry Norris and EID's board again reviewed General Manager Abercrombie's proposed 28 percent residential water rate increase for 2012.
There was a lot of bickering by different board members over which ratepayer segments should receive preferential rate breaks … but neither Harry or anyone else said "enough is enough, let's truly cut spending, rescind the spending and capital budget increases we previously approved, and slash this 28 percent rate increase! "
No … not one director gave cutting planned spending increases even one ounce of thought. Instead, EID continues to spend money like water, then raises rates and takes on more debt. The just approved 2012-16 Capital Improvement Plan includes $45 million of new spending for Hydro/Project 184 and $9 million in brand new IT projects. EID's Engineering director admitted that just $6 million of the $21 million for 2012 is priority 1; $15 million is priority 2, which means that a fiscally prudent board would say "now is not the time to increase the 2012 capital plan" and then they would send management back to pare back their spending proposals.
To fund the capital plan, $60 million of new debt will be required which, in turn, will require an additional 11 percent rate increase in 2013. Under the current board, EID's spending increases, debt hiking and rate hiking never even slow, much less pause.
Appointed to EID's Cost of Services panel by Harry, for a long time I was a "Harry supporter," certain that Harry wanted to change his fiscally imprudent ways. But I was wrong.
I continue to like Harry personally, but I have learned there is no way to stop EID's lavish spending and rate hiking other than to change players on the board … to elect new directors who will take their oath for fiscal responsibility seriously.
Hopefully, Nov. 8 will be a new "Day" for EID … Alan Day. Alan is running for EID Division 5 on a platform of less spending, less debt hiking and less rate hiking. I say let's give Alan a chance to prove he can do what Harry didn't.
(And while we are at it, let's also support Ray Van Asten to defeat 10-year incumbent George Osborne in EID Division 1. Alan and Ray would be a terrific "one-two" punch to infuse fiscal restraint into EID.)
For more on the rest of the story regarding what EID really continues to do to its ratepayers visit FixEID.org.
Time and time again, Harry has ignored his financial fiduciary responsibilities to ratepayers, instead "circling the wagons" along with EID's management to deceive ratepayers as to true spending.

How to quantify the influence of correlations on investment diversification
When assets are correlated, benefits of investment diversification are reduced. To measure the influence of correlations on investment performance, a new quantity - the effective portfolio size - is proposed and investigated in both artificial and real situations. We show that in most cases, the effective portfolio size is much smaller than the actual number of assets in the portfolio and that it lowers even further during financial crises.

Ballet on the Edge Takes Dance to the Next Level
Our Price
$19.50 - $29.50*
Full Price
$39 - $59
This isn't the ballet you're used to. There are no tutus, no music from 100 years ago and no swans. What you'll see instead is incredible contemporary dance talent and music that pushes the boundaries in three thrilling works from City Ballet of San Diego. Leave the Light On is inspired by the powerful songs of L.A. rocker Beth Hart. She pours her heart into her gritty, edgy songs; and Resident Choreographer Elizabeth Wistrich has created a ballet to match that exciting energy. C-Squared brings the tough, daring and provocative music of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Charles Wuorinen to life on stage. And finally, Inter-Nocturne centers around the ambient, minimalist and cinematic musical strains of Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi.

1959 Tasting Notes
Samples arrived this week and I am saving them for this weekend when I can take some time to enjoy. However, I have to say something about the wonderful packaging. I put together the little cork boat before I even looked at the packets. And with the cheerful nautical-themed tags and packets, this gets my vote for "most funnest sample packages ever."
Avast and ahoy—-we'll dive into 'em tomorrow.
This little cheapie, dark and rich with just a little mineral, is further proof that prowling through the bins at your local indie vendor can pay off. Newbies on a budget—do some local exploring: it's a great way to expand your tea wardrobe without deflating your wallet as much as you would with name brand mail orders.
(Not that we don't love those name brands as well ;)
Looks a little like salad dry in the pouch…definitely a woodsy flavor to it (drnking it with a chocolate chip cookie remedied any valerian mulchiness). So far I haven't met a tisane that will put me out completely on its own—will have to report later on any possible zzzzz effect.
ashmanra, I put Tazo outside so I didn't have any help steeping it :)
The word 'pouch' always makes me think of kangaroos, so it's always very weird when I see it in other contexts. I just wanted to get that off my chest.
Haha, nooo, 'pouch' is fully legitimate in this context, and I LIKE thinking about kangaroos. Keep pouchin'!
(Yeah, I'm still here. I think.)
I'm still thinking on this one. Previous comments hold; it's somewhat spicy, but spicy in the bass range—you get it at the tip of your tongue after you've swallowed. Don't think it's really strong enough (to my taste, anyway) for a breakfast tea. Maybe brunch or elevenses. Still a very, very, very good Ceylon!
Ahhhhhhhh. Weather mild enough to work outside in shirtsleeves, finally able to continue picking up branch fallout from the ice storm a week before Christmas. This is my break and I am drinking it with immense pleasure in the patio glider. Just a good quality longjing with long, flat leaves and a little sweetness.
For second steep, I threw in a pinch of mystery white chai from a work buddy; there's just a tiny hint of cinnamon in it now. Equally pleasant.
Bagged grocery store version, returned (with apologies) to me by MIL…I forgot she can't have green tea for dietary reasons. Nothing to sing show tunes about, but I might whistle a little about it under my breath. An OK mid-afternoon grab and go with low temp and short steep.
For someone who doesn't much do honey in tea, this nook in my cherry wood tea chest is emptying out fast! It's gentle, nicely balanced, a no-brain steeper. Not nearly as syrupy cloying as the Ludens cough drops we'd eat full boxes of during the sermon on Sundays, but brings back that sensory memory.
Challenged or inspired by all you sipper-downers; it's time to follow suit and take back the kitchen. This is perfect for a mild and sunny day. Decent black tea base, sweet, natural-tasting pineapple.
If you're interested in finding it, previous tracking down of this one led me to believe that it was a privately branded Metropolitan Tea blend. which is still available at several places including Culinary Tea.
Non-teaist co-workers even commented on how lusciously scented this is—-it makes the whole room fragrant. Beautifully peachy. A Cheapster Steepster winner since you can pick it up inexpensively and locally.

You can be treated in hospital, but never cured. You can be helped by psychologists and prescribed medication, but never be cured. You still carry the scars on your body, in your mind and on your heart. You are taught techniques to block the pain and memories, but they are never completely gone. Every word, face and feeling still remains in the depths of your mind. All it takes is a simple word or sentence, similar face and feeling or smell to bring it all back. Physically you may seem cured but mentally the wound is forever open, forever bleeding and never healing.
They can discharge you but you'll never be the person you were. Only the person they made you become. It's like your life isn't yours, but theirs. Everything they did, everything they said changed everything about you.
As much as people shadow you with kind words, inspirational and motivational talks, nothing will take it all away and completely cure you of your past. No one can take back the words, the looks, the emotion.
People may tell me I'm wrong, but this is my opinion, these are my words and this is how bullying effected me. Once a mirror is broken, you can put it back together but you'll still see the cracks.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 192 reviews
It was very comfortable and enjoyable for the family!
Convenient location, very accessible . Nice staff. Good rates. You can get everything you need in the axis. Movie theatre, Target, eateries, bank, Premium Outlet is 15 mins away.
Breakfast buffet is included with price so no need to buy additional breakfast added room price unless you want omelette made. We paid extra but found out that breakfast buffet was included regardless.
The stay was excellent until after breakfast, when we came back to the room and tried to get a little more rest. We kept hearing carpentry construction. It sounded as if it was coming from above, we told the hostess, upon checkout. She said it was on the third floor, but we still heard the noise. And for the inconvenience, all we were offered was a bottle of water.
This hotel is under condition and hotels.com and hotel staff fell to mention that banging was going to be going on during the stay. It wasn't until I said I wanted a quiet floor, when the staff told me they were going to be doing a "little" banging which was not a little. When I called the staff to have them quiet down, they continued to bang even louder. Overall, was a good stay but font expect to get any rest while their under construction.

We're big fans of wordplay here at the Master of Malt office, so Berry Good Spirits always get a cheer from us. Made with gin and infused with Scottish blackcurrants, this fruity spirit would work well in cocktails and mixed drinks, or perhaps drizzled over a sweet pudding.
Nose: Fresh and fruity, it reminds me of a fantastic berry pie I had once. Good times.
Palate: It opens with a splash of blackcurrants, fresh and vibrant. A spicy hint of chilli follows.

A/N This is dedicated to the wonderful Ai Chiyo! Without her pestering me to write what happened in one of my smutty dreams so that she could read it, you wouldn't be presented with the yaoi PWP fic I have worked the hardest and longest on to make absolutely perfect!
The thing with Ai is that whenever I'm talking to her, I let myself go and can actually feel like a normal person and is not held back by a past trauma, so she's the one and only person in my life who knows just how much of a pervert I am, so thanks a lot for helping me come out of my shell, even if it's only when I'm talking to you, Ai~
Warnings: The the first chapter is relatively mellow, just implied situations. However, the second chapter contains EXTREMELY GRAPHIC THREESOME AND LOSS OF VIRGINITY. If you don't like this, please do not read.
Nanao was pretty sure that she had already had her hands on every single thing that could possibly have to do with gay porn countless times already. It was time to step things up in her opinion, but just where was she going to find some willing participants…?
The black-haired woman sighed as she thought over her plight. There wasn't just the problem of finding people to enact her fantasies for her, but the dilemma of finding people sexy enough to pull it off.
As Nanao sat at her desk, thinking about how to overcome this particular road-block, she heard voices passing her office. She looked up, finding Shunsui and the Thirteenth Division Captain walking by, talking happily.
Ukitake was… perfect, in Nanao's opinion. His long, straight white hair framed his beauty and his personality made him a wonderful partaker for what Nanao wanted. He was far too kind for his own good; he could be easily pressured if the right points were pushed and he hated saying no to people. Especially to his precious Shunsui, and everyone knew that man was a whore.
If there was someone who would be willing to help push Ukitake into playing out someone's sexual fantasies, Shunsui would be the first to do it – whether he was asked to or not.
A smirk crossed Nanao's face as she watched the two friends continue into Shunsui's office to do whatever it was that they did when they were alone.
Now that she had at least one member for her plot, all that was left was to find a few more 'volunteers'.
There were so many eligible men in Soul Society, but Nanao wanted only the best. In fact, including Ukitake – who had yet to find out about his 'job' – there were only three that Nanao would settle for. She was on her way now to one of the divisions, ready to try and coerce the Sixth Division Captain into helping make her fantasies become reality.
Nanao knew that Byakuya was going to be a hard one to force because – well, let's face it; Byakuya was a bit of an ass who had a ten foot pole stuck up there. No matter the consequences, Nanao was going to persevere because what was a life without guys fucking each other? Rhetorical question and all, but the answer was none!
"What are you doing here?" Renji asked as he narrowly avoided a daydreaming Nanao that was about to walk into him.
"Hmm?" Nanao snapped out of her fictions at the Abarai's voice. "Oh. Just here to see Kuchiki-taicho about something."
"He's in the office." Renji pointed to a door a bit further down from where they were standing. "Probably should leave him alone; he's in a worse mood than usual for some reason."
Nanao smirked; oh, how this was going to be fun. "It's fine, Abarai-fukutaicho. I'm here on demand orders from Kyōraku-taicho, so it's best I get this over with." Oh, yes… Blame that man-whore of a captain if word gets out. No one will question it because it's 'Shunsui's' orders.
"I see."
Nanao smiled and bowed politely to the red-head before she continued on her way to Byakuya's office. She knocked politely, entering only when Byakuya called her in.
"Can I help you?" Byakuya looked indifferent to her – as cold as always – but there was something off in his voice. He sounded… lonely…? Could that be right? Kuchiki Byakuya, feeling lonely…? The man with a ten foot pole up his ass and considered himself better than everyone? Did he ever look at himself and take into account that his personality may be the reason for his loneliness? Probably not. Egocentric asshole.
"Are you feeling okay, Kuchiki-taicho?" Nanao asked in concern. She may have been focused on getting solely what she wanted, but if something was wrong with Byakuya, she wasn't going to be that cruel and bully him into participating like she had originally planned to do lest he decline – no; if her begs and pleads were still not enough to make him say yes, she would accept the fact and move on to someone else.
Byakuya nodded. "I am fine. Why do you ask?"
Nanao sighed. "You seem kind of… lonely, to be honest."
Byakuya's cold gaze observed the woman standing before him in curiosity. Why was it that Renji – someone who shared the same office as him – was never able to pick up on this fact, whereas Nanao – a woman he had barely spoken to – knew straight off the bat?
"Whether I am lonely or not is not your business," Byakuya all but snarled. "If you have only come here to interrogate me about my personal life, leave."
Fuck Shunsui and his man-whoreishness, Nanao thought as she took a deep breath. It was now or never.
"You're really lonely, Kuchiki-taicho, but I know just how to fix that," Nanao said quickly, knowing that Byakuya was one man you didn't piss off.
Byakuya raised an eyebrow as his reiatsu lashed out unconsciously. It was stormy, just like his emotions were. "…What are you talking about…?"
"I've heard about Hisana," Nanao continued on, taking the raging reiatsu as a good sign – because honestly, she could have been cut up by fucking cherry blossom petals by now if Byakuya had released Senbonzakura. "It must be hard on you, having lost her like that. But that's why I am here. See, I'm going to be honest with you, Kuchiki-taicho…"
Byakuya nibbled at his lips. It was an unspoken rule for people to avoid talking about Hisana, but he had to admit that this woman was gutsy. But maybe… Nanao would be able to help him out. Too long had he been mourning his late wife, and too long had he denied himself the physical pleasure that his body so craved. Hisana had been the only one for him, but maybe… It was time to move on.
"…" Nanao sighed before she continued. "I'm actually appalled by the lack of gay porn that I haven't already come into contact with. There used to be an abundance, but now it's like… I've already read it, you know? So I've decided that to make up for this, I'm going to make my own live-action gay porn, and… I want you to be in it."
Byakuya's eyes widened at these words. Nanao… wants him to be gay… W-wait… Byakuya and gay in the same sentence…? The man's mouth opened and closed like a fish trying to breathe, but nothing was coming out.
"I was going to intimidate you and force you to do it," Nanao started to explain, "but after seeing you look so lonely, I thought I would rather beg and plead you than coerce you."
Byakuya was still trying to come to terms with what was being said. However, despite the things he had seen and done in his long lifetime, nothing was as horrible as this.
Nanao raised an eyebrow and watched as the raven-haired man fell backwards off his chair, his white scarf the last thing she saw before he disappeared behind his desk.
"Oh, dear…" Nanao walked to the desk, peeking over it and finding Byakuya passed out on the ground, a look of terror on his face. "It seems my request was far too shocking for him…"
The Third division's Captain's office. Just the place Nanao wanted to be.
Nanao didn't bother with formalities this time and just barged her way into the office. What she saw was surprising. Ichimaru Gin and his lieutenant Kira Izuru were both seated on the couch, staring intently at what appeared to be a TV. On the screen was gay porn – but not just any gay porn; it was gay porn that Nanao had already watched and deemed unworthy to be seen again.
"What the hell are you doing watching this shit?!" Nanao shouted as she pulled out her book and whacked the silver-haired man on the back of the head. "This is poor-quality porn! And another thing! Why have you got Kira-fukutaicho here watching it with you?! You evil son-of-a-bitch! Corrupting this poor child's mind with the worst porn you can find! He deserves high-quality porn he can actually get off to!"
Gin and Izuru stared at each other in confusion. Just what the hell was going on? They yelped as Nanao hit them again with her heavy book. Hey; that thing was more deadly than anyone except Shunsui gave it credit for – but Shunsui was used to his daily slap across the head with it. Hell, sometimes he even got hit two dozen times in one day!
"Is this all you two do?!" Nanao continued on in a rage as she switched the TV off. "Watching porn?! You're as bad as Kyōraku-taicho – and that's saying something! Ichimaru-taicho, I can't believe you would watch this shit! Kira-fukutaicho, leave this room and never come back!"
Izuru didn't need to be told twice – he was gone before anyone could blink. This left just Nanao and Gin, the latter now being beaten by the woman's book as said woman yelled and screamed about acceptable porn and unacceptable porn and that she would have thought the Third Division Captain would have had better taste.
"It was Aizen-taicho's!" Gin cried as he ducked underneath his arms. It wasn't every day the self-proclaimed snake cowered in fear at anything, much less a woman bearing a book. He really needed to re-evaluate where he was going with his life… "I swear! He gave it ta me!"
"None of that matters now!" Nanao snapped as she grabbed a fistful of silver hair along with his precious ear and begun to drag the man towards the exit. Despite the rage that had been present, a large grin was now unnerving the third squad captain. "I don't even have to ask you!"
Gin swallowed a lump in his throat. This woman was up to something evil – even by his standards.
Gin blinked, for once opening his eyes as he was thrown unceremoniously on the floor of Nanao's office. He looked up, confused to find Byakuya sitting on the couch, reading calmly. The door slammed closed, leaving the Kuchiki and Ichimaru alone.
"What're ya readin'?" Gin asked as he got to his feet, confused more than he could ever remember being in his life. "And why are ya here?"
"Nanao gave it to me to study," Byakuya replied as he carefully turned the page of a manga that Gin couldn't see the cover of. "She said it will help me because I've never done this before."
"Huh?" Gin tilted his head in confusion. "What are ya on about?"
"I assume Ise-fukutaicho has chosen you as well." Byakuya's eyes didn't leave the page he was on.
Gin laughed in uneasiness as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Ya makin' it sound as if Ise-fukutaicho is plannin' an orgy or somethin'."
"She is." Byakuya remained as passive as ever as he spoke those words. "She didn't tell you?"
The colour drained from Gin's already pale face as he took everything in. An orgy… A gay orgy… With Byakuya… And God knows who else!
Byakuya raised his eyes to look at Gin as a loud thump sounded. He returned back to the picture he was looking at once he realised that the bang was just Gin collapsing to the ground in a dead faint.
"That was my reaction, too." Byakuya spoke as if nothing in the world was wrong before he ignored the man who was passed out just before him.
Nanao's grin could not have been any larger as she pushed open the door to her Captain's office and found Shunsui and Ukitake sitting at the desk together. She rubbed her hands together, her happy grin now resembling the grin of what could be considered belonging to a devil.
"This is perfect!" Nanao kicked the door shut behind her as she approached the Eighth and Thirteenth squad captains. "Kyōraku-taicho, you remember how I was complaining to you about the lack of porn?"
Shunsui chuckled as he nodded. "My dear Nanao-chan, how could I not?"
"Well…!" Nanao bounded up to the brunet and whispered something into his ear. Jūshirō watched in curiosity as a scheming smirk curled onto the super-deviant's face. When Nanao pulled back, she shot a glance at Ukitake. "So you'll help me?"
"Anything for my dear Nanao-chan." Shunsui said up and grabbed his best friend's hand. Jūshirō was rather confused as he was pulled along behind the elder. "Come, Juu-chan; you're going to go make yaoi for Nanao-chan."
"W-what?" Ukitake felt his heart drop at these words. "Make… yaoi…?"
"You do know what yaoi is, right?" Nanao asked as she followed behind the two Captains.
"I-I… I believe I've heard of it…" Jūshirō's eyes were wide with panic. When they stopped at Nanao's office seconds later, he was horrified to hear two familiar male voices coming from inside. Oh, dear god… Had Nanao already started the gay sex session without him…? "Shun, no! Don't do this to me! Shun!"
Shunsui laughed as he pushed the door open and then shoved the white-haired man inside. He closed the door and held it in place, laughing even harder as Ukitake yelled and screamed and pounded on the door for him to let him out.
"Relax, Juu!" Shunsui called as he winked at Nanao. "Just lie down and let it all happen! You make a great uke! Make good yaoi for Nanao-chan!"
Jūshirō knew it was no good; neither Eighth Division Squad Member was going to let him out. He turned to see just who he was supposed to be messing around with. That was when he felt as if he could die.
Kuchiki Byakuya; someone whom was capable of overpowering him in physical strength any day. There was no doubt about it that if this were to happen, Byakuya would be topping him.
And Ichimaru Gin... Ukitake had never really felt comfortable around the young Shinigami despite having always acted in a polite and respectful manner towards him.
Please, Ukitake thought as he curled up in the foetal position and rocked back and forth. He soon placed his thumb in his mouth, his eyes wide. Please, if there is a higher power out there, then please… Tuberculosis, I know you've always attacked me at the wrong places and at the wrong times, but now, there is no better time or place than right now. Kill me, Tuberculosis!
But, as Ukitake knew, his Tuberculosis only enjoyed attacking him when he was having the time of his life. There was no way he could get out of this one.

Super Bowl XI pitted the near-perfect 13-1 Oakland Raiders against the Minnesota Vikings who were making their fourth appearance in the Super Bowl. Oakland dominated the AFC with the likes of Hall of Fame wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff, tight end Dave Casper, tackle Art Shell, linebacker Ted Hendricks and guard Gene Upshaw as well as All-Pro quarterback Kenny Stabler and wide receiver Cliff Branch. Their single loss came in a 48-17 thrashing at the hands of the New England Patriots, but Oakland had the last laugh as they eliminated the Pats in the divisional playoff game 24-21. The Raiders then clobbered two-time reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers 24-7 in the AFC Conference Championship Game. The NFC Champion Minnesota Vikings, on the other hand, had a somewhat aging core, which centered around 37-year old quarterback Fran Tarkenton and the famed "Purple People Eater" defense that included future Hall of Famers Carl Eller and Alan Page. Despite his age, Tarkenton had led the NFL in completions, attempts, completion percentage and touchdown passes in the 1975 previous season and was among the leaders once again on nearly all offensive categories. The defense allowed the fewest number of points with 176 and only Pittsburgh allowed fewer with a remarkable 138. Minnesota went 11-2-1 during the regular season, winning the NFC Central for the eighth time on the last nine years, then beat the Washington Redskins in the divisional playoff and the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Conference Championship Game. (Los Angeles accounted for the Vikings only tie of the regular season.)
Super Bowl XI was played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California on January 9, 1977 in front of a crowd of 103,438. This was the largest attendance of any previous Super Bowl and it was the first of five times that the NFL's title game was played at the historic Rose Bowl. The game began as a defensive war, but was also marked by a few foibles like a field goal denial by an upright, a fumble and a blocked punt. (It was one of only three times that Oakland Raiders' punter Ray Guy suffered a blocked punt in his 14-year career.) Oakland was first on the board with a 24-yard field goal 48 seconds into the second quarter. The Raiders then scored two touchdowns on a 1-yard pass from Ken Stabler to Dave Casper and a 1-yard rush from Pete Banaszak giving Oakland a 16-0 lead heading into halftime. Opening the second half, Raiders kicker Errol Mann started the scoring with a 40-yard field goal to go up 19-0. On the ensuing punts after the Vikings went three and out on the next drive, linebacker Ted Hendricks was called for roughing the punter so Minnesota was given the ball back. They capitalized as Fran Tarkenton threw an 8-yard pass to Sammy White, cutting the lead to 19-7. In the fourth quarter, however, the Raiders put the game out of reach with another 2-yard Pete Banaszak rushing touchdown and then a 75-yard Willie Brown interception return for a score. Late in the game, Minnesota's Stu Voight scored on a 13-yard pass from Bob Lee, but their dreams were dashed once again. Oakland toppled the Vikings 32-14 making Minnesota the first four-time loser of the Super Bowl. Oakland Raiders' wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff was named Super Bowl XI Most Valuable Player based upon his four receptions for 79 yards. In a truly classy move, head coach John Madden literally used his whole team and inserted every member of his squad at one point during the game so that each player contributed to one of the biggest games in his life. Defensive ends John Matuszak (6'8") and Charlie Philyaw (6'9") hoisted Madden onto their shoulders at the game's end and carried the beloved coach into the locker room giving the NFL one of the most iconic images in Super Bowl history.

text: Pepsi Wants Scent Capsules So Its Bottles Don't Smell Like PlasticAndrew Liszewski9/26/13 4:00pmFiled to: FoodPepsiPatentsMarketing883EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Cracking open a cold bottle of Pepsi, only to be hit by the smells of the chemicals in the plastic container instead of the cola, can ruin the experience. And for a company that's perpetually been a runner up in the Cola Wars, finding new ways to gain traction with consumers is vitally important. So through a patent application, PepsiCo has revealed a unique aroma delivery system that ensures the first thing you smell is always the product. Advertisement The patent reveals a system where microscopic gelatin capsules filled with a concentrated ingredient are ruptured when a bottle's cap is open and removed. This in turn causes a release of a specific aroma—whether it be cola for a bottle of Pepsi, or fresh oranges for a bottle of OJ—which further enhances a customer's enjoyment of said product. And while it might seem like a gimmick, scent engineering is a big business and can do wonders for a product's sales. Just remember how hard it is to walk past a Cinnabon without buying something.

Just about every franchisor will boast of the support provided within the system to franchisees but what does franchisee support really mean?
Whether you're close to making a decision to invest in a particular franchise or are still at the early comparison stage, a focus on the level of support provided by the franchisor should be an important part of your due diligence process.
Not surprisingly, franchisees and franchisors often have different views of what constitutes a good level of support. Franchisees sometimes find that the support promised is not delivered, does not add value to their businesses or does not meet their expectations. A real or perceived lack of support is one of the greatest drivers of franchisee dissatisfaction. While franchisors may have good intentions, they often underestimate the amount and cost of support required by franchisees. More.

R. Kelly speaks at his trial to say he won't speak
Credit: (file)
R. Kelly might not be so confident about his innocence. The R&B singer told Judge Vincent Gaughan that he doesn't plan to testify in his own defense, The Daily News reported. After Judge Gaughan let Kelly know that he had a right to not testify the singer leaned forward with his hand folded and said "I decided not to testify." This is the first time that Kelly has spoken at his own trial. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with an underage girl. Both Kelly and the alleged victim who is now 23 have denied being on the tape.

Calling all teachers & groups of curious eaters! Touring an AIM farmers market is sure to be a fresh experience for your students. You'll meet farmers and learn where they farm, how they grow their crops, why they chose to farm and what's in season. You'll get to know local artisans, bakers, food purveyors and an AIM market manager. We believe that a day at the farmers market will get your students excited about making healthy food choices by building a sense of connection to the people who grow their food. AIM also offers the FARM FIELD STUDIES PROGRAM which brings children and young adults from around the Bay Area to local farms.
AIM offers a variety of educational tours at the Thursday Marin Farmers Market. Choose to take a tour with an AIM market manager or participate in a self-guided farmers market treasure hunt. Tours are available from 9am-noon. We have two tour options:
1. Guided Tour
An AIM Guided Tour makes for a perfect field trip experience. The guided tour option begins with a brief overview of the history of farmers' markets. Students will get to meet the market manager and learn a little about the day-to-day responsibilities of the manager.
Upon completion of the introduction, the market tour begins. During the market tour students will:
- Meet a few farmers and learn what it's like to be a farmer, how and where they grow crops, where they come from, seasonality of crops, and what a typical day in their life on the farm is like.
- Meet a food purveyor and learn from a baker what it is like to make their own bread and then sell it at the market
- Meet an artisan and learn about their craft, how they make and market their art, and what it is like to be a vendor at a farmers market.
2. Self-guided Tour/Activity
The Self-Guided Tour option begins with a brief overview of the history of farmers' markets. Students will get to meet the market manager and learn a little about the day-to-day responsibilities of the manager.
Upon completion of the introduction, students will be given an activity sheet to use while they visit the market. Each activity is specially designed for that market day and grade level. The activity will help students learn about the seasonality of food, the diversity of fruits and vegetables that grow in California, and how and where food grows.
Tours for All Ages
Our market tours are by no means limited to school children. We have given tours to Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs, Bioneers Conference attendees, and more. Tours are also available at any of our other seven markets – pending our market managers' schedules. Please fill out a Tour Request form and contact Tyler Thayer to discuss how we can best accommodate your group.
