I just did. And I'm still shaking.
This is lovely! I can imagine it being written on the inside of a love card or something! Well done!
The first time I read this it made me want to scream, not at the author, but at all the gouging I have endured, both literally and figuratively. But...after writing something inspired by this....I realized some important things
1. I don't care what mediocre minds think...the truth will eventually weave into them.
2. Sometimes hints are not enough, as I have been known to give detailed hints in my Diary.
3. He cares about every little inch of me and doesn't want to hurt any of me...it won't. Gotta just trust me on this..I'm telling the truth.
4. I will face that sterilized room before you're the "official" groom... i promise
5. I love sooo many songs...but I'd have to say that "truly,madly, deeply" fits the best today. How'd you know about Savage Garden?? I think you may have had a little help on that one from
a pigeon:) No offense to the pigeon. I simply like the metaphor:)

Pain has long been thought to wax and wane in relative proportion to fluctuations in the intensity of noxious stimuli. Dynamic aspects of nociceptive processing, however, remain poorly characterized. Here we show that small decreases (±1–3°C) in noxious stimulus temperatures (47–50°C) evoked changes in perceived pain intensity that were as much as 271% greater than those of equal magnitude increases. These decreases in perceived pain intensity were sufficiently large to be indistinguishable from those evoked by 15°C decreases to clearly innocuous levels. Furthermore, decreases in pain ratings following noxious stimulus offset were significantly greater than those occurring during adaptation to constant temperature stimuli. Together, these findings indicate that an analgesic mechanism is activated during noxious stimulus offset. This analgesic phenomenon may serve as a temporal contrast enhancement mechanism to amplify awareness of stimulus offset and to reinforce escape behaviors. Disruption of this mechanism may contribute importantly to chronic pain.
Changes in noxious stimulus intensity have long been known to exert significant effects on various aspects of pain sensation (Hardy et al. 1952). More recently, both psychophysical and neural responses during increases in noxious stimulus intensity have been examined in detail (Harrison and Davis 1999; Pertovaara 1999; Yarnitsky et al. 1992; Yeomans and Proudfit 1996). Such responses during decreases in noxious stimulus intensity, however, remain largely uncharacterized. If the same nociceptive mechanisms process information about both increases and decreases in noxious stimulus intensities, then changes in perceived pain during stimulus decreases would be predicted to be indistinguishable from those evoked during equal magnitude stimulus increases.
Two lines of evidence indirectly suggest that different mechanisms are engaged during dynamic increases and decreases in noxious thermal stimuli. First, Robinson and colleagues (1983), in examining the ability to detect incremental increases in noxious stimulus intensity, observed in passing that changes in pain intensity ratings produced by incremental decreases in noxious stimulus intensity were larger than those produced by an increase of an equal magnitude. Second, anecdotal evidence suggests that thermal intensities sufficient to produce tissue damage (54°C) can be reached with little or no perception of pain when temperature is increased in a step-wise fashion via sequential increases of 2°C and decreases of 1°C (i.e., 47, 46, 48, 47, 49°C …) (D. J. Mayer, personal communication). Together these disparities between perceptual changes and stimulus temperatures suggest that an active analgesic mechanism may be engaged during the termination or reduction of a noxious stimulus.
To better characterize this possible analgesic response, volunteers were recruited to evaluate changes in perceived pain intensity during dynamic alterations in noxious thermal stimuli. Psychophysical responses following incremental decreases in noxious stimulus temperatures were directly compared with sensations following incremental increases in noxious stimulus temperatures to determine if an active analgesic mechanism is engaged during stimulus offset.
Twelve healthy volunteers (7 males and 5 females), ages 22–31, participated in this investigation. All subjects gave informed consent acknowledging that they understood that the experiment involved the presentation of heat-induced pain, that the methods to be used were clearly explained and understood, that no tissue damage would result from stimulation, and that they were free to terminate stimulation or to withdraw from the study at any time. All procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
Thermal stimulation
Thermal stimuli were delivered to the ventral surface of the dominant forearm via a 16 × 16-mm peltier device with rise and fall rates of 6°C/s (Medoc TSAII, Ramat Yishai, Israel). This device was attached to the forearm with a Velcro strap and was maintained at a baseline temperature of 35°C. Three different types of stimulus trials were used.
These trials were designed to compare responses to incremental decreases in noxious stimulus temperatures with those evoked by incremental increases. Each experimental trial consisted of three contiguous phases: an initial painful stimulus (T1, 47, 48, or 49°C, 5-s duration), a 1, 2, or 3°C increase to a second temperature (T2, 5-s duration), and a decrease to a test stimulus (T3), equal to T1 but with a duration of 20 s (Fig. 1).
These trials used the same T1 and T2 stimuli as the experimental trials but used a T3 of 35°C. These trials provided a means to determine if the change in pain intensity evoked by a 1, 2, or 3°C decrease in noxious stimulus temperature was distinguishable from that produced by a step down to a clearly innocuous temperature.
The disproportionately large drops in pain ratings following the T2–T3 temperature decrease in the experimental trials could potentially be attributed to the adaptation of primary afferents known to occur during prolonged stimulation (LaMotte et al. 1983). To rule out this possibility, subjects also rated pain intensity during constant temperature stimulation (35, 47, 48, and 49°C; 35-s duration) to characterize the degree of adaptation.
To prevent tissue damage, a maximum T2 temperature of 50°C was used in all trials. To minimize sensitization or adaptation, all trials were separated by approximately 2 min and were performed on previously unstimulated sites on the skin. Experimental and control trials were presented once per subject in a randomized order, while constant temperature trials were presented twice in a randomized order (once near the beginning and once near the end of each testing session).
Assessment of pain intensity
Subjects rated pain intensity (as defined by Price et al. 1989) using a mechanical visual analog scale (VAS, 15 cm length, 0–10 range, verbal anchors of "no pain sensation" and "most intense pain sensation imaginable") (Price et al. 1983, 1994). Pain intensity ratings were obtained 4 s after the start of T1, 4 s after the start of T2, and 5, 10, 15, and 20 s after the start of T3. In the case of constant temperature trials, pain intensity ratings were obtained at analogous points in time. Subjects were prompted for ratings by a computer-controlled audio signal.
Statistical analysis
In experimental and control trials, the difference in psychophysical pain intensity ratings (Δ) resulting from T1 to T2 (e.g., 48–49°C) and T2 to T3 (e.g., 49–48°C) temperature changes was first used to describe the effect that an increase or decrease in stimulus temperature had on pain intensity. Within-subjects analyses of variance (ANOVA) of Δ scores determined if the magnitude of changes in perceived pain intensity evoked during stimulus decreases was significantly different from that evoked during stimulus increases.
For comparisons involving constant temperature stimulus trials, absolute VAS scores served as the dependent variable. Within-subjects analyses of variance determined if pain ratings following incremental decreases in stimulus temperatures were statistically different from ratings of constant temperature stimuli.
Effects of incremental increases and decreases in stimulus temperatures
Changes in perceived pain intensity associated with incremental decreases in noxious stimulus temperatures were markedly larger than those evoked by equal magnitude increases in noxious stimulus temperatures (Fig. 2). Within-subjects ANOVA of the Δ values of the increase from T1 to T2 and the decrease from T2 to T3 revealed that temperature decreases produced significantly greater changes in perceived pain intensity across all T1 and T2 combinations (Table 1, all comparisons significant at P < 0.0227). Furthermore, these differences were substantial. For example, a 1°C decrease from 50 to 49°C evoked a change in ratings of pain intensity 271% larger than that evoked by the increase from 49 to 50°C. For steps of 1°C, the ratios of Δdecrease:Δincrease were consistently large across all T1 temperatures (F (2,22) = 0.03,P = 0.9669). Similarly, these ratios were not significantly altered by the size of the T2 step (F (2,22) = 1.72, P = 0.2024).
Control trials with T3's of 35°C confirmed that 1, 2, or 3°C T2–T3 decreases produced a robust change in perceived pain intensity. The magnitude of the decrease in pain intensity observed in experimental trials was so large that subjects were unable to distinguish a step down to a T3 of 47, 48, or 49°C from a step down to an innocuous 35°C (Fig. 2, Table 1, no comparisons significant). In other words, a 1, 2, or 3°C step down to temperatures within the noxious range felt no different from a 13, 14, or 15°C step down to a 35°C stimulus (Fig. 2).
Static vs. dynamic stimuli
In the constant temperature trials, ratings of pain intensity following 15 s of stimulation (a time point equal to the 1st T3 rating in the experimental trials, Fig. 1) decreased only 28 ± 0.065% from their initial T1 value for 49°C and 44 ± 0.094% for 48°C. In contrast, pain intensity ratings following the 50 to 48°C and 50 to 49°C decreases in the experimental trials were significantly lower than those of the corresponding constant temperature stimuli (F (1,11) = 8.23,P < 0.015; F (1,11) = 10.06, P < 0.0089, respectively, Fig.3, B and C), while pain intensity ratings following the 49 to 48°C decrease exhibited a trend toward being smaller than those of the 48°C constant temperature stimuli (F (1,11) = 3.81,P < 0.077, Fig. 3 A). Therefore the relatively large decreases in pain intensity ratings evoked by slight decreases in noxious stimulus temperatures are distinct from the smaller changes in pain intensity that occur during adaptation to 48 and 49°C constant temperature stimuli and indicate that an analgesic mechanism is engaged during stimulus offset. In contrast, perceptual decreases following T2 offset in experimental trials using a 47°C T1 were not distinguishable from the substantial adaptation (84.4 ± 0.67%) that occurred during 47°C constant temperature trials.
Pain intensity ratings were examined 20 s after the onset of T3 (T3 20 s) to determine if the analgesia at T3 (5 s) diminished during 15 s of continued stimulation. In all cases, analgesia evoked by incremental temperature decreases exhibited a complete reversal by T3 (20 s) in that pain intensity ratings rose to levels indistinguishable from those of the corresponding constant temperature stimuli (50 to 48°C: F (1,11) = 0.71,P = 0.420; 50 to 49°C:F (1,11) = 0.13, P = 0.729; 49 to 48°C: F (1,11) = 0,P = 0.950, Fig. 3). These increases in pain intensity ratings between T3 (5 s) and T3 (20 s) during the experimental trials contrast sharply with the continued, gradual decreases in pain intensity ratings of the constant temperature stimuli, and further distinguish the analgesia at T3 (5 s) from adaptation.
The present findings demonstrate that a potent analgesia is evoked by slight incremental decreases in noxious stimulus temperatures. We have named this novel analgesic phenomenon offset analgesia. Offset analgesia is distinct from the adaptation and/or primary afferent fatigue that occurs during prolonged and/or repeated noxious stimulation (LaMotte and Campbell 1978; LaMotte et al. 1983). It is temporally coupled with incremental decreases in stimulus temperature, and it is reversed by 15 s of continued noxious stimulation (Fig. 3). This time course indicates that offset analgesia is an active process and raises the possibility that central inhibitory mechanisms may play a critical role in this phenomenon.
Damage to central inhibitory mechanisms has been demonstrated to occur during chronic pain states. Peripheral nerve injuries during animal models of neuropathic pain have been reported to cause excitotoxic loss of inhibitory interneurons in superficial laminae of the spinal cord (Ibuki et al. 1997; Mayer et al. 1999;Sugimoto et al. 1990). Consistent with the potential loss of inhibition, neuropathic pain patients report that exposure to a brief tactile or thermal stimulus produces painful sensations which long outlast the stimulus (Lindblom 1985;Noordenbos 1959). Thus disruption of central inhibitory mechanisms that potentially mediate offset analgesia may be an integral component of the pathophysiology of chronic pain.
Under normal circumstances, pain is a signal of actual or impending tissue damage. Why then, do minor decreases in stimulus temperature cause such disproportionately large decreases in pain intensity? Is a 49°C temperature any less dangerous to tissue when preceded by a higher temperature than it is when presented alone? Signals indicative of the termination of painful stimuli are potentially as important as signals indicating the continued presence of injurious stimuli. Just as lateral inhibition serves to enhance spatial contrast in the visual system, offset analgesia may serve to enhance temporal contrast during dynamic changes in noxious stimulus intensity (Hartline and Ratliff 1957). Thus such amplification of the perception of small decreases in noxious stimulus intensity produces a readily detectable signal that may facilitate escape responses from injurious stimuli.

My insides scream, but yet I suppress the voice that cries.
I know the person who hides inside.
She wants to be heard, but…
I shall not let her say a word.
She fights and fights till she makes me bleed.
I promised myself that she wouldn't be seen.
Even though I promised she could stay,
With her eyes full of tears, I lock her away.

WIth extended family in the local area my family are deep rooted in this idylic country setting close to the sea. Living on the East coast with a young family restricts me from using my property but we get over as much as we can
Property Owner purchased this house in 2008
I built this home on family land a few years ago and it is finished to a standard that you would expect a modern family home to be - comfortable and suitable for a modern family with small children
Modern, Finished to a very high Standard, comfortable, great base, close to all amenities
This is a well located comfortable, beautifully decorated house, I have stayed there with my husband and children and will definitely go back again, its a short drive to all the attractions in Clare and has a a fantastic view of the country side on one side and the sea on the other side, its bright and fresh and I would highly recommend it to anybody.
A beautiful house in a lovely location
We went as a family of 6 adults and 2 children and found the house to be spacious and fully equipped to meet our needs. It was extremely clean and well maintained both inside and out and well located to meet our holiday needs.
The house is a good base for trips to Kilkee, Loop head and the cliffs of Moher and plenty of beaches for surfing and other water sports. Whilst this was not our forte it is nice to go and watch the activities taking place in all weathers and even when the day light was fast fading away.
The owner was very reactive when we reported a problem with the cloths dryer and when it could not be repaired he immediately had it replaced
If we ever decide to go back to that part of Ireland for our holidays we would not hesitate to go back to this house.
The house was clean and big enough for 8 persons. Little details are´nt not so good. For example: not enough chairs and pottery for 8 persons in the kitchen. The oilheating was difficult for a difference use in single rooms.
The house is ideal to start trips to enjoy the landscape. For example: Kilkee, cliffs of moher, Loop head...
A really nice holiday...
Very nice house. Nice view to the sea on the horizon of the landscape.
Good base for excursions by car. Then you can explore the area well.
Perfect service, we have found everything, what we needed.
You can reach the beach by a short walk (note low tide). Good base for excursions by car. Cliffs of Moher and Kilkee to Loop Head, Lahinch for surfing, white Beach with a nice Golf Club and a lot of other attractions. Thanks a lot.
We really enjoyed our stay at Rineroe. The house is situated in a lovely spot with seaviews and views of Mount Callan. We have rented many houses in the Quilty/Milltown Malbay area over the last 15 years and this is by far the best in standard/value for money. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped (but could do with some more utensils/crockery in the kitchen). The property manager was very helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be booking again for next year.
The house and location was lovely, with stunning views. However it did lack a few kitchen tools so it made cooking for 7 people difficult, this did not spoil our time spent in the house/area though. We would definitely return and would also not hesitate recommendation to our friends. Thank you for a lovely family break. :)
Great Base in which to either tour the West Coast and you can go North or South.
Alternatively you can chill out and enjoy the immediate surroundings in this very peaceful and tranquil setting.

5. Background of shortcode deal info should be this color: c0e5e4
On single product page...
1. Adjust layout completely according to photo attached. I've attached a photo of the layout as it currently is and of the layout with the changes I want made.

Ahead of showdown #1 at Hofstra University in New York, Celeste and John preview the upcoming trio of presidential debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Presidential debates are a big part of American political culture, and they've given us plenty of memorable moments — even if their ultimate effect on the outcomes of elections are, well, debatable. They're also fairly unique on the world stage. Former Sen. and New Hampshire Gov. Judd Clegg shares an insider's take he earned by virtue of having played both John Kerry and Al Gore in Republican debate prep sessions. And Jeremy Cliffe of The Economist speaks about the relatively new phenomenon of televised prime ministerial debates in the U.K. and how they stack up with the way America handles these face-offs.

Retooling Reintegration: A Reentry Moot Court
David B. Wexler
University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law; University of Puerto Rico - School of Law
April 14, 2011
Chapman Journal of Criminal Justice, Vol. 2, p. 191, 2011
Arizona Legal Studies Discussion Paper No 09-40
This essay proposes that correctional institutions expose interested inmates to programs involving elements of restorative justice,therapeutic jurisprudence, and relapse prevention planning, culminating in a transition and relapse prevention plan that can form the basis of a proposed parole plan. Then, the prisoner about to be considered for parole can try out the plan before peers in a Reentry Moot Court. Such an exercise should be of practical and rehabilitative use both to the prisoner defending his or her plan and to the peer prisoners who will hone their own problem solving skills by participating in the Moot Court process.

We return to Premier League action at White Hart Lane on Saturday, having picked up 10 points from a possible 12 in our last four domestic outings.
Christian, this week named the Danish Football Players' Association Player of the Year for 2013, has been ever-present in the side in all of those games.
And the versatile midfielder believes remaining focussed and ensuring we use possession to our advantage are key attributes as we strive to see off the Eagles at the weekend.
"We'll probably have the ball more, but we just have to use the ball well against what could be a defensive team," said the 21-year-old.
"Every game is difficult but I believe we can maintain our good run of form in the league and pick up another win.
"We've played some good games in the Premier League over the last month and hopefully we can build on that.
"We're determined to get the three points on Saturday."

Scam, Do not Buy 09/21/2013
This review is from: Total Defense Premium Internet Security - 5 User
Basically the software is free and they make $ by subscription service.
Rebate is scam.
Other Thoughts:
I was wondering why this product has been bundled with so many other products and is basically free if you get the rebate ($60 to $80). Now I know.
First, it is very hard to get your rebate. I do not know what the success rate is to get the rebate. I figure very very low.
The software is essentially free and they try to get your money by forcing you to install the software and use its subscription service. To submit the rebate, you'll have to activate the product. I figure they would make the rebate eligible only if you keep using their service. Or no rebate!
Most subscription-bases software is totally free, but this company add one more layer trying to get your $ through the rebate scam. You can't change your mind after you purchase the software.
Do not buy.

A closer look at the requirements for our Mid Year Showreel made me realize just how much material I was missing in my previous attempt at creating a showreel (link: vimeo.com/34739429 ). This stretches back even further than the old one and it also has some newer material plus more of the all stuff inbetween. There is no sparetime drawings/animations in this but it is a very comprehensive collection of pretty much everything School I've done during my first 5 months at the Character Animation education at The animation Workshop.

Online poker is an unusual game of chance. When you play poker, your chances to win don't merely depend on the good or bad luck. You will hardly win poker game if you have no idea about poker tournament strategy, gambling logic, poker theory and other important aspects of game. There are two general methods of playing poker online: playing tournament poker and gambling for cash. Each method has advantages and disadvantages. When you play poker for cash, you may leave the game and take your money prize at any time you want. Even newbie may accidentally win significant sum of money. However, another side of the situation is that experienced players usually play poker games for cash for the purpose of playing out the "fish". The fish is the nickname for people who don't know poker basics and only rely upon good luck.
Real pros prefer online poker tournament games. Poker tournaments online are considered to be a step on the way towards participation in live poker tournament. All worldly known poker tournaments are usually held offline. World Series of Poker (or WSOP) which is held annually in Las Vegas, USA is a good example of such tournament. The competitive component is very strong in tournament poker, that's why it was even approved as a game of mastership in some countries, like Sweden and USA. When you take part in casino poker tournament, a single shot win is not enough. You have to go through all the levels to get your prize, that's why a chance to win for newbie is about zero. However, many top poker sites also organize free poker tournaments, or freerolls. In customary poker tournaments, each participant has to pay an entry fee. All the payments made by participants are put together, and the money prize fund is formed. As for freerolls, money prize fund is usually formed by means of donation, and you don't have to pay an entry fee. Top poker rooms organize free poker tournaments on a regular basis, and many people aspire to join a freeroll, that's why some conditions are put by freeroll organizers. For example, you should have a certain sum of money to take part in freeroll. Sometimes the participants are selected in reliance on their results in previous poker tournaments.
Online poker rooms aggressively promote the idea that every poker player may become a pro and earn much money in poker tournaments if he or she works hard. There are actually hundreds of examples which make this affirmation to look realistic. Top poker stars are different people, however, there are many programmers and mathematicians among them, so that their analytical mind helps them. Nowadays, you may find information about poker trainers who teach other people how to play poker on the Internet. There are also many specialized sites dedicated to poker games. You may find there lots of online poker rooms reviews, strategies on poker hands, articles about gambling theory and poker logic, poker tournament software screen shots, poker stars success stories and so on.

The yeast Saccharomyces kluyveri (Lachancea kluyveri), a far relative of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not a widely studied organism in the laboratory. However, significant contributions to the understanding of nucleic acid precursors degradation in eukaryotes have been made using this model organism. Here we review eukaryotic pyrimidine degradation with emphasis on the contributions made with S. kluyveri and how this increases our understanding of human disease. Additionally, we discuss the possibilities and limitations of this nonconventional yeast as a laboratory organism.
Pyrimidines are precursors of nucleic acids and many other biomolecules. The intracellular pools are regulated by the de novo synthesis and salvage pathways as well as catabolism, and have great importance for cellular function, for example replication of DNA, which requires well-balanced nucleotide pools.
In animals, pyrimidines are degraded by the reductive pathway, which is composed of three enzymatic steps converting uracil and thymine to β-alanine and β-aminoisobutyric acid, respectively (Traut & Loechel et al., 1984; Piskur et al., 1993). The first reaction is catalyzed by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD, EC 184.108.40.206/EC 184.108.40.206) yielding dihydropyrimidines. In the second reaction, dihydropyrimidinase (also dihydropyrimidine amidohydrolase, DHPase, EC 220.127.116.11) converts the dihydropyrimidines to β-ureidopropionic/β-ureidoisobutyric acid (Fig. 1). These compounds are subsequently converted to the corresponding β-amino acids by β-ureidopropionase (β-alanine synthase, βASase, EC 220.127.116.11). Furthermore, β-alanine may be catabolized to malonate semialdehyde by β-alanine-aminotransferase (βAAase, EC 18.104.22.168).
β-alanine is a structural analogue of the mammalian neurotransmitters γ-aminobutyrate and glycine and it has also been suggested that β-alanine may act as a functional neurotransmitter (Sandberg & Jacobson et al., 1981; Wang et al., 2003). In mammals, the main source of β-alanine is the catabolism of pyrimidines. Defects in the first enzymatic step are known to cause disorders in humans. The predominant symptoms are neurological, such as mental retardation, epileptic attacks and convulsions (Fiumara et al., 2003; Al-Sanna'a et al., 2005).
In clinical cancer treatment, the pyrimidine catabolism is highly relevant. Pyrimidine analogues such as 5-fluorouracil (5FU) are used for treatment of colorectal, breast, as well as head and neck cancer (van Kuilenburg et al., 2004), and it remains one of the most frequently prescribed chemotherapeutic anticancer drugs. In most patients, >80% of the administered 5FU is rapidly catabolized by the pyrimidine-degrading enzymes (Heggie et al., 1987). DPD, which catalyzes the first enzymatic step, has been shown to be a key determinant of toxicity of the treatment. Evidently, the study of this pathway could lead to improved treatment in clinics.
In yeast, β-alanine is required for biosynthesis of pantothenate and coenzyme A (White et al., 2001). The biosynthetic pathway of coenzyme A from pantothenate is currently considered a promising target for potential novel antimicrobial drugs (Spry et al., 2008).
Yeast as a model organism
In the late nineties, pyrimidine catabolism was still relatively poorly studied. Therefore, Gojkovic (1998) attempted to establish yeast as a simple eukaryotic model organism for pyrimidine catabolism. Among the Saccharomyces genus, only Saccharomyces kluyveri (Lachancea kluyveri) degrades uracil and the intermediates of the reductive pathway (Andersen et al., 2006). However, many other yeast and fungal genera can well degrade pyrimidines (Andersen et al., 2006; Piskur et al., 2007). Apparently, after the whole genome duplication event, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae lineage lost this ability. Through mutagenesis of S. kluyveri, three mutation groups were identified, pyd1, pyd2 and pyd3, which were unable to grow on uracil, dihydrouracil and β-ureidopropionic acid as sole nitrogen source, respectively. The natures of the PYD2 and PYD3 loci were identified by complementation with a genomic library and subsequent gene identification, and further with subcloning, overexpression and enzymatic studies.
In S. kluyveri, the PYD2 gene encodes a DHPase. Slime mold, plant and insect DHPases have been successfully cloned and shown to functionally replace a defective DHPase in S. kluyveri (Gojkovic et al., 2003). The three-dimensional structures of S. kluyveri DHPase and later also Dictyostelium discoideum (slime mold) DHPase (Fig. 2) have been determined and refined to 2.4 and 2.05 Å, respectively (Lohkamp et al., 2006). Both enzymes contain a dizinc catalytic center embedded in a (β/α)8-barrel structural core that is accompanied by a smaller β-sandwich domain. The two structures and their active sites are remarkably similar to each other, as well as to those of hydantoinases, dihydroorotases and other members of the amidohydrolase superfamily of enzymes. Complexes of yeast DHPase with dihydrouracil and N-carbamyl-β-alanine revealed the mode of substrate and product binding and allowed conclusions about what determines substrate specificity, stereoselectivity and the reaction direction among cyclic amidohydrolases (Lohkamp et al., 2006). Based on the observed similarities, catalysis is expected to follow a dihydroorotase-like mechanism but in the opposite direction and with a slightly different substrate. The knowledge gained from the Sk DHPase crystal structure has allowed structural modeling of human DHPase (Fig. 2) and clinically relevant genetic mutations can now be understood at the molecular level. For example, based on the crystal structures of eukaryotic DHP from S. kluyveri and D. discoideum, it has been suggested that the W360R and R412M mutations, found in several patients, lead to structural instability of the enzyme, which could potentially impair the assembly of the tetramer (van Kuilenburg et al., 2007).
Eukaryotic βASases can be divided into two subfamilies based on sequence homology. Although the subfamilies are functionally related, they are phylogenetically diverse (Gojkovic et al., 2001). One subfamily consists of βASases from higher eukaryotes, whereas the second consists of fungal βASases. The first structurally characterized βAS was the S. kluyveri enzyme (Lundgren et al., 2003). It consists of two identical subunits composed of a larger catalytic domain and a smaller domain mediating dimerization. Both domains have an α/β-topology. The catalytic domain contains the active site harboring a dizinc metal center. Surprisingly, this enzyme shows high structural homology to a family of dizinc-dependent exopeptidases, which suggests that they have a common origin (Andersen, 2008a).
Saccharomyces kluyveri lacks DPD and the Sk βASase is phylogenetically unrelated to the human counterpart. However, human βASase has been functionally expressed in S. kluyveri (Gojkovic et al., 2001). The first determined crystal structure of a higher eukaryotic βASase was of Drosophila melanogaster (Lundgren et al., 2008). The βASases of higher eukaryotes belong to the nitrilase superfamily and show the characteristic αββα-sandwich architecture (Pace & Brenner et al., 2001). However, the common core of the nitrilase-like enzymes is in D. melanogasterβASase extended by three helices and a β-strand at the N-terminus. The enzyme exists as a homooctamer assembled from tightly packed dimers. The active site contains a catalytic triad composed of Cys234, Glu120 and Lys197, which is conserved in all nitrilases. Drosophila melanogasterβAS shares 58% sequence similarity with the human enzyme. It is therefore likely that its crystal structure can be used to model the effects of mutations naturally occurring in human βASase.
Recently, the S. kluyveri PYD4 gene and its product, β-alanine aminotransferase, have also been characterized (Andersen et al., 2007). The determination of the enzyme's crystal structure may provide insights into this catabolic reaction for other organisms also.
Saccharomyces kluyveri as a laboratory organism
The advances made in nucleic acid precursor degradation reviewed above have established S. kluyveri as a useful laboratory organism. In fact, many methods for S. cerevisiae are applicable to S. kluyveri with little or no modifications. Auxotrophic strains (with mutations such as ura3−) have been developed in our lab and enable many traditional genetic techniques. An electroporation-based transformation protocol is described for transformation of yeast plasmids (Gojkovic et al., 2000) and plasmids commonly used in S. cerevisiae are replicated and maintained in S. kluyveri. Furthermore, a genomic library has been constructed (by F. Lacroute, Gif-sur-Yvette, France) for mutant complementation studies and genetic screens (Gojkovic et al., 2000).
In S. kluyveri, several options for genetic manipulation exist. Double mutants can be constructed by genetically crossing strains by mating and subsequent sporulation. Dissection of tetrads has been reported but rupture of the ascus sac by conventional enzymatic digestion is currently problematic, and in practice only random spore analysis is possible. Furthermore, gene targeting is relatively straightforward, and precise genetic manipulations are possible as integration by nonhomologous end joining appears to be rare. In this respect, S. kluyveri is comparable to S. cerevisiae. Our lab has routinely constructed knockout cassettes, using the kanMX cassette conferring resistance to G418, with c. 500 bp of end homology (Gojković et al., 2004).
In 2003, the entire genome of S. kluyveri was sequenced (Cliften et al., 2003), and since then several bioinformatics comparative studies have been published. Furthermore, the availability of spotted cDNA microarrays allows genomewide transcription analysis (available from M. Johnstons lab, St. Louis, MO). Microarray experiments have been successfully performed in our lab to study transcription in S. kluyveri knockout mutants as well as transcriptional response to growth with pyrimidines as sole nitrogen source (unpublished data).
Saccharomyces kluyveri has also been studied for the generation of mitochondrial respiratory-deficient, petite mutants, the ability to survive without oxygen, Crabtree effect and ethanol production. This yeast can easily be grown at large scale under fully controlled growth conditions (Møller et al., 2001).
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most studied organisms and the most advanced model to understand the eukaryote cell. So far, only a few yeasts have been thoroughly studied in the laboratory, but the recent advances in molecular biology, genomics and postgenomic approaches have put several nonconventional yeasts in focus. A few of them have now become successful model organisms to study traits, such as osmotolerance in Debaryomyces hansenii, telomere metabolism in Saccharomyces castellii, fungal pathogenicity in Candida glabrata, etc. As reviewed above, S. kluyveri is important as the model to understand nucleic acid precursor metabolism; however, in the search for renewable energy sources, it will also likely play an important role as a model to understand the yeast's ability to produce ethanol in the presence of oxygen.

New Britain — Reports of a person carrying a sword or a handgun led to a three-hour lockdown at Central Connecticut State University on Monday, but police said no weapons were recovered and there was no threat to the campus.
Three school-age people were in custody, but no charges were filed and police said they were investigating whether the scare may have been set off by somebody wearing a Halloween costume.
"We had no real threat to students or faculty," said Chris Cervoni, chief of the campus police.
The university declared a campus emergency at about noon Monday, directing people to stay inside and away from windows on the 182-acre campus south of Hartford. State troopers and police from several nearby cities responded, and SWAT teams swarmed around a 400-student residential building, James Hall, where the suspect had been seen.
Officials said that even if it was a prank, the concern was real, noting the person dressed in camouflage was the subject of several 911 calls.
"In this situation, our prayers were answered," said Jack Miller, the university's president, who noted the FBI was among the agencies that responded. "Certainly there have been many other situations that didn't conclude in this way."
Jordan Governale, a 20-year-old junior from Farmington, said he walked by a man carrying a backpack and with a sword and sheath strapped to his back Monday morning. The man was wearing a mask, camouflage pants, knee pads and a vest resembling body armor, Governale said.
A minute later, he said, he saw police.
"At first I thought it was a Halloween costume. But after I saw the cops I thought it was some sort of threat," he said. "It's pretty scary. It's pretty strange, unexpected."
The lockdown was lifted shortly after 3 p.m. University spokeswoman Janice Palmer said that the students who had been inside James Hall were moved to another building for questioning.
Cervoni said the three people of interest were taken into custody on a fourth-floor hallway of James Hall and the primary suspect is a student at CCSU. He said police were continuing to search the building.
Classes were canceled for the rest of the day at the school, which has more than 12,000 students.
Morgan Podlisny, an 18-year-old freshman who lives in the adjacent Seth North residence hall, said she and her friends watched the situation unfold next door.
"Our whole dorm was freaking out," she said. "At first, there were a lot of cops there rushing in with guns.
Kiara Gupton, a 21-year-old junior, said she could see SWAT teams and dogs.
"I'm really just upset about this," she said, recalling last year's deadly school shooting in Newtown, about 30 miles away. "It's scary. ... To see all these SWAT teams outside is really just overwhelming."
Two New Britain schools near the campus were also locked down as a precaution, according to the superintendent's office.
