Peerless Battle Spirit - Chapter 163
Chapter 163 - The Unprecedented Fourth Round
"Lost… I've lost."
Huang Que and Wei Hao mumbled with blank stares;they no longer had the appearances of super geniuses from before.
As the super geniuses of the Flying Sword Sect and the Disordered Flames Sect, they initially planned to put on a show in this Trial of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, but it turned out to be a total defeat for them.
As for Wang Ruoling, her gaze toward Qin Nan was now filled with utter terror.
How brave was she before to offend Qin Nan, who possessed a formidable background and a terrifying talent?
She could only pray in her heart that Qin Nan would not trouble her any further.
Only Huang Long glanced at Qin Nan with a complicated expression.
When he met Qin Nan the first time at the Trial of Versatility, he was impressed with his personality, thinking that he was worth being friends with. Who could have expected that Qin Nan would rise so quickly, turning the tides and displaying a strength that he could not match against? Now, Qin Nan continued to reveal his tenth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, defeating the other two super geniuses and coming first among the outer disciples of the top four sects.
It was only now that Huang Long could feel the difference between him and Qin Nan expand further and further.
The old lady looked at Qin Nan with a complicated expression, "I was being harsh toward you previously as I underestimated your ability. I hope that you won't take it seriously."
"Don't mind." Qin Nan rose from the ground. The forceful aura emitting from his body had been withdrawn, as he let out a peaceful smile, "I'm used to this kind of thing."
The old lady snickered before she straightened her face and declared, "The third round has come to an end. The winner of the round is: Qin Nan! He is also the only one who passed the round. Now, for the prize!"
The old lady waved her hand causing a sparkling storage bag to land on Qin Nan's hands.
Qin Nan's eyes burned with passion. He immediately opened the bag and checked its content. After a glance, a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
In the storage bag, there was a small stone.
The stone was around the size of a palm, with a smooth and transparent surface like a crystal. One could feel a force of arcane realm encapsulated within the stone.
Although Qin Nan was usually lacking in his knowledge, not only did he know what the stone was, he was quite familiar with it.
The stone was known as the Arcane Realm Stone, formed naturally by the Heaven and Earth, extremely precious.
This Arcane Realm Stone allowed one to digest the force of the Arcane Realm within it, tremendously improving one's comprehension of the Arcane Realm.
However, it was incredibly rare to find this Arcane Realm Stone, which made it priceless.
If I were to consume this Arcane Realm Stone and absorb the Arcane Realm Intent within it, it is likely that I'll be able to reach the Greater Success Stage of the Arcane Realm… A thought came up to Qin Nan's mind, who took a deep breath and bowed sincerely to the old lady.
The Arcane Realm Stone was priceless so he felt necessary to express his serious gratitude.
A smile appeared on the old lady's face, "Now that the third round is finished and since your outstanding performance in the first round granted you the key, you can now choose to enter the fourth round."
"I'll choose to enter the fourth round!"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with excitement.
It was said that since the Martial Serendipity Pavilion was found, no one had ever entered the fourth-layer. Thus, Qin Nan was curious to see what was inside.
As a Martial Artist and as a young man, Qin Nan was extremely passionate. He was willing to give his all to grab all opportunities, to witness legends, to break myths, and to make his own history.
It went without saying that any genius would not miss such a chance of making history.
However, the only difference was, they were not as lucky as Qin Nan to be granted such an opportunity.
"Sure, you can now proceed to the fourth-layer of Martial Serendipity Pavilion." The smile on the old lady's face vanished, as she waved her hand causing Qin Nan's figure to instantly disappear from the third-layer.
"The trial has ended for you guys." The old lady glanced at the remaining participants, before sending them out with a gesture.
… Meanwhile, at the peak of Autumn Mountain…
As the participants were teleported out from the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, the crowd immediately turned towards them.
Huang Que and Wei Hao no longer displayed a demanding attitude but quietly walked under the crowd's attention to their groups led by their elders and remained silent.
The crowd stared at them with a pity. They could easily see the unpleasant feeling these super geniuses were experiencing from their defeats.
However, it was definitely a misfortune for Huang Que and Wei Hao. If their opponent weren't Qin Nan in the first place, they won't lose so badly, right?
Upon recollecting Qin Nan's outstanding performance in the first, second and third round, the crowd was utterly impressed and their eyes were full of respect.
"Ah, Qin Nan has entered the fourth-layer. Let's see what the fourth-layer looks like!"
A rogue cultivator suddenly screamed.
The scream immediately attracted the attention of the crowd toward the Martial Mirror.
No one had entered the fourth-layer before. Therefore, the rogue cultivators and the elders of the top four sects were curious to know what the fourth-layer of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion looked like.
However, the ancient Martial Mirror shuddered violently as the screen began to twist vigorously, preventing the crowd from seeing what was happening inside the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
They could only raise their heads toward Autumn Star Ocean. The Martial Serendipity Pavilion situated on top of a hundred-meter wave shone brightly, especially the part where the fourth-layer was located, indicating the presence of someone in there.
The crowd was startled before uttering their curses.
"What the f**k, what is going on? Why is the Martial Mirror broken all of a sudden?"
"F**k, so we can't see what's inside the fourth-layer?"
"Damn, how could this be? It's hurting my feelings!"
The rogue cultivators were frustrated.
After seeing this, Zhang Taiyin instinctively clenched his fists and stared at the Martial Serendipity Pavilion with a nervous expression.
If Qin Nan can pass the fourth-layer, receive the benefits, and understand the secrets within the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, it would no doubt shock the Mystic Spirit Sect and the other three sects!
"Qin Nan, you must break through the fourth-layer…" Zhang Taiyi clenched his teeth and locked his gaze onto the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
On the other hand, the elders of the other three sects wore a dull expression.
In this Trial of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, they had lost a huge amount while the Mystic Spirit Sect had benefited the most. It would not be any better for them if Qin Nan did end up making history and learning the secrets of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
"If this Qin Nan did pass the fourth-round, I suggest…" Elder Fang transmitted his voice secretly, while glaring at the elders of the Qing Nu Sect and the Disordered Flames Sect.
The two elders shuddered violently before their eyes emitted an icy glare.
The reason was that Qin Nan was too talented, coming first in all three rounds;no one could even match his potential.
If Qin Nan manages to pass the fourth round, the other three sects would not be pleased with the discovery of such a dangerous genius!
At this crucial timing, Princess Miao Miao suddenly yelled, "Trading Alliance, now that Qin Nan has won the round, where is my pay?! The odds are one to ten! A payment of thirty million Martial Emperor Pills, please!"
Her voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Miao Miao placed her hands on her hips with a furious expression on her face.
What's wrong with this Trading Alliance? What's wrong with this crowd? Why are they so shocked at someone entering the fourth round?
Betting is the real deal right now!
The crowd was left speechless seeing this. They had already placed the bet in the back of their minds after witnessing Qin Nan enter the fourth-layer. Why is this little girl so fussed with the bets in such circumstances?
However, the following thought caused the crowd to be astounded.
This little girl had bet three million Martial Emperor Pills on Qin Nan before.
Now that Qin Nan has won, doesn't it mean the Trading Alliance has to pay her a total of thirty million Martial Emperor Pills?
The odds for Qin Nan are one to ten!
How much is thirty million Martial Emperor Pills?
That's a total of three hundred thousand Martial Ancestor Pills!
At that moment, the crowd's eyes turned fiery approaching a state of frenzy.
The white-shirted lady of the Trading Alliance halted her breath before saying, "Princess, don't worry, we Trading Alliance never go back on our word. That applies to everyone here, we will not forfeit your bets. However, now that Qin Nan has entered the fourth round, if he manages to pass the round, he will make history. After witnessing such a historical moment, the Trading Alliance will then process your payments."
Hearing this, Princess Miao Miao's face turned angry instantly. What does this historical moment matter to me?
I want my pills!
However, before she could become enraged, a shocking scene suddenly took place!

My initial response this year is that we are down in terms of MLS dollar and unit sales from last year. People are generally surprised as for the most part, the media tends to provide less coverage of real estate sales activity when the market weakens than they do when the market is booming. In the past couple of years print, online and radio/television media touted how robust the market was. Often you heard about the property that drew 20 or 30 offers and sold for $100,000, $200,000 or more over list price. When have we ever heard about the home that languished on the market for a year or two and finally sold for 25%, 30% or more below the original asking price?
Year-to-date MLS real estate sales as reported by the Southern Georgian Bay Association of REALTORS to the end of September are down 17% in terms of dollars sold. MLS dollar volume for the first three quarters of 2017 totalled $859.7 million whereas for 2018 sales are $714.8 million. As was the case in 2016 we ended 2017 with MLS sales over the $1 billion mark at just under $1.1 billion and th4ese sales did not include sales of new homes and or condominiums by developers. Given the fact we are well off that pace through September I forecast total MLS sales for 2018 will be in the $925 to $950 million range roughly 15% to 18% below 2017.
Sales in virtually every price segment of the market are below 2017 especially at the upper end where year-to-date sales between $1.5 and $2 million are 56% below last year. Sales in our area under the $300,000 mark are down 41% while sales between $300,000 and $500,000 are down 15% from last year. In my next post I will summarise market activity across the various municipalities in our region but the results are similar, unit sales are down 14% to as much as 25% from one year ago in every municipality that makes up our market area.
So collectively what does all this information tell us? With sales down both in terms of dollars and the number of properties sold along with an increase in the number of days it takes to sell a property, we have clearly entered a new era one where buyers, the banks and other lenders are getting increasingly cautious.
Our market like many across Canada is or has shifted to one that is balanced more evenly between sellers and buyers and I see this trend continuing. Buyers who are willing to wait will no doubt benefit with more properties coming to market and lower prices. In future posts I will explain why.
In the meantime please do not hesitate to Contact Me if you have questions or to have a no obligation consultation regarding your personal real estate needs and or goals.

Energy landscape – an overview of strategic issues for Ireland
23 January 2018
Energy is fundamental to modern society and its security of supply, economics and environmental consequences have critical impacts on the development of nations. With technological innovation and rapidly changing industry structures, energy markets are becoming more complex and challenging to forecast. This poses both risks and opportunities for the energy industry and consumers alike.
The European electricity system is undergoing major change. This includes a transition towards a low-carbon economy with the growing role of renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency and the electrification of transport and heating. It will provide consumers with a more meaningful role, allowing them to actively manage their demand, produce their own electricity and feed the excess onto the grid.
This requires the market, regulations and infrastructure to adapt to the changing environment. Furthermore, policy design needs to balance between encouraging investment in low-carbon technologies, safeguarding security of supply and maintaining cost competitiveness to consumers.
Some of the key industry changes, and the strategic issues they raise for Ireland, are discussed in this article.
Energy future underpinned by climate-change policies
"…Transport and heating almost fully rely on oil and gas. They must wean themselves from oil and gas if Ireland is to meet its long term commitment."
Ireland has a long term commitment to an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the energy sector (and at least carbon neutrality in agriculture and land use), when compared to 1990 levels by 2050 and a 100% reduction by 2100. This commitment goes beyond the installation-specific GHG emissions obligations applied to commercial enterprises through the EU-wide Emission Trading System (ETS) and the binding national emissions targets that apply to the non-ETS sectors.
The ETS is a market-based 'cap and trade' system to reduce GHG emissions within the EU, which covers emissions from power and heat generation and a wide range of energy-intensive industries. The ETS sector in Ireland emits less than a third of Ireland's total GHG emissions, while the electricity generation part of the ETS emits around a fifth of the total emissions. The scale of ETS sector in Ireland is relatively low compared to our European peers.
The major non-ETS sectors are heating, transport and agriculture, which present a much greater challenge for carbon reduction. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ireland will not meet its binding targets for 2020 with the current range of policy measures in place.
The EPA has also highlighted the significant challenges in meeting the non-ETS emissions reduction targets in the long term. To meet these targets profound changes are required in how we run our cars and how we heat our homes. Currently transport and heating almost fully rely on oil and gas. They must wean themselves from oil and gas if Ireland is to meet its long-term commitment.
Electricity is only part of the full picture
"…Carbon emissions policies to date have largely focused on the electricity sector which led to the rapid growth in electricity generation from renewable sources…"
Electricity is one form of energy and it can originate from fossil fuels or renewable sources. To gain a more meaningful picture, one needs to examine the energy system as a whole. In Ireland, the primary sources of energy are imported fossil fuels. In 2015, Ireland imported about 90% of its Total Primary Energy Requirement (TPER), mainly in the form of oil and natural gas (Energy Balance 2015, SEAI). This figure dropped to about 70% in 2016, with the production of Corrib gas field (Provisional Energy Balance 2016, SEAI).
TPER includes the energy requirements for the conversion of primary sources of energy into forms that are useful for the final consumer, for example electricity generation and oil refining. While electricity is a critical energy source, in 2015 it constituted merely 19% of the Total Final Consumption (TFC) in Ireland. TFC is essentially TPER less the quantities of energy required to transform primary sources (e.g. crude oil) into forms suitable for end-use consumers (e.g. refined oils, electricity, patent fuels).
Carbon emissions policies to date have largely focused on the electricity sector, which led to the rapid growth in electricity generation from renewable sources. Continued policy focus on the electricity sector alone will not be sufficient to meet Ireland's GHG reduction targets. Transport and heating, in particular, will require a fundamental shift in policies to deliver the necessary GHG reductions.
So what are the options for the transport and heating sectors? Electric vehicles provide a promising prospect of achieving carbon reduction within the transport sector by effectively expanding the use of electricity, which is itself undergoing a rapid decarbonisation process through renewable generation. Similarly, electrification of heat using heat pumps is a highly efficient means of heating homes and offices.
Of course, electrification is not the only possible option for decarbonising the transport and heating sectors: biofuel, for example, could also play a role. Nonetheless, the case for early electrification is based on there being 'no regrets', meaning electrification of transport and heating now will immediately reduce emissions with the current mix of generation.
Generation costs are a major component of the final retail price of electricity. Therefore, a well-functioning wholesale electricity market is critical for its cost competitiveness. The wholesale electricity markets in Ireland and Northern Ireland have been operating under a 'pool' type market, the Single Electricity Market (SEM), since 2007. The SEM is somewhat one-sided, as market prices are determined by generators only and suppliers are effectively 'price takers'.
In order to meet current EU legislation to harmonise cross-border trading arrangements, the SEM is being replaced in favour of a new bilateral market, named the Integrated Single Electricity Market (I-SEM), which is scheduled to go live in May 2018. As a bilateral market, suppliers in I-SEM can bid for the electricity they plan to consume and these bids are matched with the offered prices from generators, providing a two-sided and arguably a more efficient marketplace.
Brexit and Ireland's electricity market
"…It should be recognised that the island of Ireland, Great Britain and Europe are all net importers of energy and have many mutual interdependencies."
The SEM has developed through concerted co-operation between the energy regulators and government ministries in Dublin, Belfast and London. It is firmly established in national law in both the UK and Ireland. While this law is entirely consistent with EU laws, it does not derive from EU law.
I-SEM, by contrast, is designed largely to meet EU legislation. Post Brexit, Northern Ireland will no longer be obliged to comply with the EU requirements. Furthermore, the European Third Energy Package proposal envisages seven regional markets, one of which consists of France, UK and Ireland. As Ireland is currently interconnected with the UK only, post Brexit it would mean that our connection to Europe would be via a 'third country'.
This could have significant implications for Ireland, not least with all the potential regulatory complications that could arise post Brexit, but also the negative impact this uncertainty has on further interconnection projects between Ireland and the UK. Nonetheless, the exact impact of Brexit is still unclear given the level of political uncertainty around the UK-EU negotiations but it should be recognised that the island of Ireland, Great Britain and Europe are all net importers of energy and have many mutual interdependencies. Hence, a pragmatic outcome is one that would promote integration of energy markets in Europe.
Wholesale cost is not the only component of the end-use cost of electricity. The electricity supply chain can be divided into distinct elements: energy sources, power generation, high-voltage transmission, low-voltage distribution, metering and supply/retail. Each of these elements contribute to the underlying cost to end-use consumers.
Typically in modern electricity systems, the supply chain is separated, with generation and retail segments being open to competition. The network infrastructure (transmission and distribution) is considered a natural monopoly and hence difficult to open for competition. In Ireland, the ownership and operation of the transmission infrastructure are separated and regulated under a regulatory framework derived from EU law.
Changing landscape
"…In combination with digital technologies customers are able to control how they use, buy and generate the electricity they need."
Electricity utilities were traditionally large-scale, centralised and capital intensive enterprises. Their customers were generally considered to be passive in terms of how the electricity was produced and supplied. However, this industry model is changing. Increasingly, distributed generation can viably displace large-scale centralised power plants as the costs of such distributed generation technologies are reducing. Furthermore, since these distributed generation costs compete with end-user prices (which includes network costs) rather than just with wholesale electricity prices, they can be attractive to consumers.
Smart metering can also facilitate self-generating customers to integrate with the grid effectively, enabling import and export of electricity as their production and demand varies. In some markets, these customers can get paid a set tariff for their excess electricity 'spilled' onto the grid. This group of consumers are termed 'prosumers' as they are simultaneous producers and consumers of electricity.
Intermittency of renewable energies such as wind and solar can be a major constraint on their deployment. The lack of effective means to store electricity in scale has been a key defining feature of electricity as a commodity. Although storage of electricity is possible using traditional technologies such as pumped storage, it has limitations due to geography and environmental impact, among others. Battery-based storage, using technology such as lithium-ion batteries, is now disrupting the energy landscape as they are being deployed for both grid and small scale applications due to their rapidly reducing cost and performance improvements.
A prosumer with roof-top solar panels and lithium-ion batteries can extract better use of solar resources by storing during periods of excess generation and consuming when the sun is not shining. Electric vehicles can also be part of home-energy systems, where excess free electricity stored during the day is used to charge the car at night. With distributed generation and storage, in combination with digital technologies, customers are able to control how they use, buy and generate the electricity they need. The prosumer model is even more relevant to commercial and industrial consumers due to the significant underlying cost of energy to their businesses.
In summary, the disruptions taking hold in the electricity sector are just the start of an energy landscape transformation. The major changes in the electricity industry to date have been primarily on the regulations to enable markets and new technologies. Going forward, as the energy sector is on the frontline of concerns about climate change, the major changes will be on regulations to deal with climate change and new innovations. It will be important for companies, either as energy producers or consumers, or both, to understand these disruptive forces so they can formulate their energy strategies in a rapidly evolving landscape.

I also taught a wide range of relay races for Ok-2nd grades. I explained that TEAMWORK is an important a part of a relay – cheer for teammates and encourage them to do their finest. I reward groups with a POINT in the event that they sit down in a pleasant straight line with palms in their lap when the relay is all performed. I give them TWO FACTORS if the entire staff is sitting with a smile on their face! This helps very a lot with administration – after each race, the teams are all able to hearken to the instructions of the subsequent race and no time is wasted making an attempt to quiet the category. I hold a clipboard and present the factors (tally marks) for each group.
Time is limited, and faculty funding is often dependent upon profitable take a look at results. On this article, we will share some brainstorming ideas concerning the worth of working in coordination with different lecturers and utilizing unusual and inventive materials and methods as a method of saving classroom time and amplifying the depth and quantity of data imparted. Read on to be taught more.

Port forwarding not working, possible reply-to issue?
JoelLinn last edited by
Hi folks,
I am trying to set up port forwarding on a multi wan setup.
I had it working some months ago but after updates it is not working any more.
The traffic is passed inbound correctly and the TCP SYN ACK from the local machine arrives at the LAN interface.
It will however not pass back through the appropriate WAN interface.
How can i debug this further? It seems like the firewall does not know what to do with the response.
reply-to is not disabled globally or per rule.
I was unable to replicate this issue on a fresh install inside virtual box...
viragomann last edited by
You may use Packet Capture from the Diagnostic menu to check if the responses are sent out on the wrong WAN interface.
reply-to requires that the fitler rule which allows the inbound traffic is neither a floating rule nor it is defined on an interface group.
So check the filter log to determine which rule allows the access.
Maybe you've added a floating rule in the past which matches the packets.
JoelLinn last edited by
The traffic wasn't leaving on any interface.
It turned out there was no default route in the route table.
I changed the default gateway from the failover group to a specific one and a default route was created.
Changed it back to the failover group and the default route stayed.
I found this https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9004 because I'm still on 2.4.4_2 (didn't see the update notification because the firewall couldn't reach the servers to check....)
What an annoying bug.

8 Random Things
Right now I'm swimming in wool yarn. I'm working on a magazine submission (yeah! another one) and I need to get it finished by next week. Wool all day and all night, and my projects have been put on hold. In the meantime, I'll try to entertain you with the " 8 Random Things " meme. I was tagged days ago by Andrea . It may have taken me awhile but I didn't forget.
1. My ultimate goal in life is to be a stay-at-home mother and wife and run a business out of my home. Say what you will but I've done the corporate thing and it's overrated. Now if only I could find a husband....
2. I have recently found the joys of Almond Milk and I'm never going back. I'm lactose-intolerant and researched the many evils of the photoestrogens in soy milk. Almond milk is definitely the way to go.
3. Bad thunderstorms give me panic attacks. I once drove through a bad storm on I-75 and missed getting hit by a tornado by 10 mins. There's nothing like having pieces of trees and houses hit your car while the rain is going completely horizontal instead of vertical.
4. The very first thing I wanted to do when I went to college was to buy myself some General Foods International Coffee . My mother would not allow us to drink coffee and to me that was a sign of being an adult. She later told me that see knew I , of all her children, would be a coffee drinker because of how much I like chocolate. All 3 of her children are coffee drinkers. At least she tried.
5. I cut my hair again. The last haircut was inspired by a character in the "Transporter 2" movie and Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. No one had the cut when I got it and I've had it since June 2006. In the past two weeks, I saw 4 women with my haircut. I knew it was time for a change.
6. In a few weeks I'm going to dye my hair bright red. My current color is going a little orangey.
7. I really would like to have a garden. My grandmother used to grow collard greens in her backyard in the middle of the city. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
8. Right now I have an obsession with all things British. I've watched Hustle, MI-5; listen to Floetry and Craig David and now I'm into Lily Allen. British accents are kind of cool.

Chiddingstone castle, Kent, wedding photography – Laura & Daniel
Chiddingstone castle in the Weald of Kent is one beautiful venue, making wedding photography a dream. Add a gorgeous couple, Laura and Daniel and you have the perfect combination.
It was a perfect English summers day when I met Dan at his house with his two best-men. The guys were in great form even if Dan was moaning that a tweed suit may well not have been the correct choice for such a hot day.
The girls were already at Chiddingstone castle, having make up and hair done with a rather cool 50's twist.
The guys had opted for a ceremony at the orangery in the beautifully manicured grounds. It was a touching ceremony with some wonderful readings. Lauras dad looked a little emotional as he gave his girl away to her new hubby.
After the ceremony, drinks and canapes were served on the formal raised lawn followed by speeches from dad and daniel. The best-mens speeches were served after dinner and poor old Dan had a few of his more lively nights as a younger man relived for the pleasure of his guests.
I took the guys for a wander around the grounds, which are stunning, for a few images. Then left them dancing the night away together to Anthem.
Here are a few links for your pleasure folks.
Hope your having a great honeymoon guys, see you soon.

Go to our pre-filtered search.
SAFB1 binds to the HIV-1 LTR and physically interacts with phosphorylated RNA polymerase II, repressing HIV-1 transcription initiation and elongation.
SAFB regulated the activity of NF-kappaB signaling in CRC by targeting TAK1 This novel mechanism provides a comprehensive understanding of both SAFB and the NF-kappaB signaling pathway in the progression of CRC and indicates that the SAFB-TAK1-NF-kappaB axis is a potential target for early therapeutic intervention in CRC progression
Depletion of SAFB1 reduced FUS's localization to chromatin-bound fraction and splicing activity, suggesting SAFB1 could tether FUS to chromatin compartment thorough N-terminal DNA-binding motif. Moreover, FUS interacts with another nuclear matrix-associated protein, Matrin3.
Data suggest that ERH interacts directly in nucleus with C-terminal Arg-Gly-rich region of SAFB1/SAFB2 and this multimer co-localizes in insoluble nuclear fraction; binding of ERH reverses inhibition exerted by SAFB1/SAFB2 on SRPK1. (ERH = enhancer of rudimentary homolog protein; SAFB = scaffold attachment factor B; SRPK1 = splicing kinase SR protein kinase-1)
The expression of coding and non-coding genes with SAFB1 cross-link sites was altered by SAFB1 knockdown. The isoform-specific expression of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM1) and ASTN2 was influenced by SAFB1.
Single depletion of either SAFB1 or SAFB2 leads to an increase in expression of the other SAFB protein.
reveals an unexpected role of SUMO-1 and SAFB in the stimulatory coupling of promoter binding, transcription initiation and RNA processing
SAFB1 formed a complex with the histone methyltransferase EZH2.
Data indicate that scaffold attachment factor SAFB1 is transiently recruited to DNA breaks in a poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase 1- and poly(ADP-ribose)-dependent manner.
Results indicate that SAFB1 and SAFB2 are crucial repressors for ERalpha dynamics in association with the nuclear matrix and that their synergistic regulation of ERalpha mobility is sufficient for inhibiting ERalpha function.
transcriptional repressor SAFB1 is modified by both SUMO1 and SUMO2/3, and this modification is necessary for its full repressive activity.
Data show that binding of p53 to SAFB1 had a significant functional outcome, since SAFB1 was shown to suppress p53-mediated reporter gene expression.
This study shows that low SAFB protein levels predict poor prognosis of breast cancer patients, suggesting critical functions of SAFB1 and SAFB2 in breast cancer cells.
Study confirms the primary role of SAFB1/SAFB2 as corepressors and also uncovers a previously unknown role for SAFB1 in the regulation of immune genes and in estrogen-mediated repression of genes.
HSP27 is a nuclear speckle component in unstressed cells in tissue culture. It is also associated with the nucleolar compartment.
REVIEW: possibility that SAFB1 and SAFB2 are novel breast tumor suppressor genes, and how they might function in this role, are discussed
HSP27 expression may have useful diagnostic use for the prognosis of mouth squamous cell carcinoma.
SAFB1 represses ERalpha activity via indirect association with histone deacetylation and interaction with the basal transcription machinery
SAFB1 was shown to interact directly with the nuclear receptor corepressor N-CoR.
SAFB1 interacts in pull-down assays not only with PPARgamma but also with all nuclear receptors tested
despite a high degree of sequence similarity, SAFB1(-/-) and SAFB2(-/-) mice do not totally phenocopy each other
Mice lacking SAFB1 exhibit developmental abnormalities in their lungs, high incidence of perinatal lethality, and adults develop different types of tumors. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts from Safb1-null animals are immortalized in culture.
SAFB1 plays a critical role in development, growth regulation, and reproduction.
SAFB1 loss causes lack of contact inhibition, increased foci formation, and increased oncogene-induced anchorage-independent growth.
Our data show that SAFB1 heterozygosity does not influence Wnt-1 induced tumorigenesis
These results indicate a major role for SAFB1 in the activation of Srebp-1c through its interaction with RBMX.
This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein which has high specificity for scaffold or matrix attachment region DNA elements (S/MAR DNA). This protein is thought to be involved in attaching the base of chromatin loops to the nuclear matrix but there is conflicting evidence as to whether this protein is a component of chromatin or a nuclear matrix protein. Scaffold attachment factors are a specific subset of nuclear matrix proteins (NMP) that specifically bind to S/MAR. The encoded protein is thought to serve as a molecular base to assemble a 'transcriptosome complex' in the vicinity of actively transcribed genes. It is involved in the regulation of heat shock protein 27 transcription, can act as an estrogen receptor co-repressor and is a candidate for breast tumorigenesis. This gene is arranged head-to-head with a similar gene whose product has the same functions. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

The transaction will give the farmer-owned dairy cooperative the rights to use the Yeo Valley brand in milk, butter, spreads and cheese under an intellectual property licence with Yeo Valley
Yeo Valley yogurt, ice cream, cream and desserts business will continue to be run independently through Yeo Valley Group, which remains under the ownership of the Mead family.
Tomas Pietrangeli, Managing Director, Arla Foods Limited said: "The potential for future investment in range through this licensing agreement with Yeo Valley provides a significant opportunity to offer a greater choice to consumers at attractive prices.
"Our ambition is to encourage customers to trade up from standard to organic milk, butter and cheese, driving overall growth for organic across dairy categories."
He highlighted the opportunities in the organic sector, with one in four households now purchasing organic products.
"Arla Organic Free Range milk has driven 60 per cent of all the growth within the organic milk category in the last 12 months, with 70 per cent of all Arla Organic Free Range milk sales attributable to customers who would have not previously purchased organic milk," he added.
"Through the licence to use the Yeo Valley brand, we believe that we can further drive organic penetration of the milk market."
Tim Mead added: "Arla's farmer-owned credentials are aligned to the values and ethos that the Yeo Valley brand is based on – supporting British family farms.
"We have a long-held ambition to grow organic dairy in the UK, because at Yeo Valley, we believe that organic dairy is better for the planet, for the cows and for health."

LIC Jeevan Anand Or PPF: Which Is A Better Investment Option?
I am very much confused with which one is better LIC Jeevan Anand policy or having a PPF (Public Provident Fund) Account. Also I would like to know, is it advisable to invest in LIC Jeevan Labh? I am looking for Investment with Insurance option. Also I am looking for tax benefit option with not more than 3 years lock-in as well.
1) Biggest difference is Insurance: Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) policies offer you a life insurance schemes. Here in Jeevan Anand policy offered by LIC is a term insurance policy that offers investment along with insurance. Whereas on the other hand Public Provident Fund (PPF) offer Investment plan. So, if you are looking for an insurance option then there is no point in opening and investing a PPF account.
2) Return on Investment: Public Provident Fund (PPF) offers you 8.50 % interest rate varying little bit per year where as returns from LIC policies like: Jeevan Anand, Jeevan Labh, etc. cannot match these returns as they provide 5-6 % return on investment during maturity.
In conclusion with this, Public Provident Fund (PPF) is far superior in terms of return on investment as compared to an LIC policy schemes like Jeevan Anand, Jeevan Labh, etc. LIC has the best claim settlement ratio, though many private players are now close to match this ratios. It's advisable to invest in the PPF and take a term policy, which is much more cheaper and reliable option when you are looking forward for an Investment plus Insurance scheme.
LIC New Jeevan Anand vs PPF Account, Since this Insurance agents are quite good in convincing people when it comes to LIC vs PPF schemes but you wont understand the facts unless and until you don't do enough research by your end. Lets do some comparison between PPF vs LIC Jeevan Anand insurance policy:
|Jeevan Anand Insurance Policy
|Public Provident Account
|Jeevan Anand policy was rename to New Jeevan Anand policy with regards to IRDA rules. Its an endowment policy which covers your life as well. In terms of returns this insurance policy + investment funds doesn't perform well in long run with respect to interest point.
|PPF or Public Provident Account is only a long term investment saving scheme. At present 15 years is the maturity period and you can earn interest on your investment at around 8% - 9%. When compared PPF vs LIC scheme, PPF out-stand with its maturity value.
|The premium paid under this LIC policy is exempted under 80C of Income Tax Act. Likewise Maturity amount is additionally tax exempt under section 10(10D).
|Amount invested in PPF account is exempted from tax. Indeed, even the premium earned and maturity is likewise tax exempt.
|One can surrender, New Jeevan Anand policy after 3 years of premium installment.
|The base lock-in period is 7 years. Also, one can't withdraw the whole amount before maturity as well.
|Life will be secured till the policy maturity. In the event of death, guaranteed sum assured with bonus will be paid to nominee.
|PPF does not cover life. If there is an occurrence of death then nominee will get sum assured only after maturity.
Good information on lic jeevan anand returns and PPF. These terms are very important for all of those who have started to earn and since my job is stable now. I would like to look deeply into it. Thanks for starting the topic here because now it will be possible for me to understand it nicely.

An unorthodox stock break up designed to ensure Google CEO Larry Web page and fellow co-founder Sergey Brin retain control of the Internet's most profitable company may price Google greater than half a billion dollars. In other words, if the lengthy chart stochastics present an uptrend (rising from the zero line), then I find the very best entry opportunities for a commerce typically result when the short chart stochastics begin to vary from falling towards the 0 line to rising from it. When both charts are at the prime or backside of the vary, it has typically meant a stall and even reversal may be imminent.
If Google hires somebody proper out of college to work in SF at $one hundred-110k, it is actually like getting hired proper out of faculty to work in a standard market at $60-70k, which isn't almost as rare (but still pretty good for a model new man; in positions the place I used to do hiring, we would often rent these someplace between 45-55k).
On that very same day, rumors circulated within the monetary neighborhood that Google would quickly be included within the S&P 500 35 When companies are first listed on the S&P 500 they typically experience a bump in share value due to speedy accumulation of the stock inside index funds that observe the S&P 500.

SSH President Announces Passing of Dr. Abrahamson, Medical Simulation Pioneer
From Pam Jeffries, SSH President: Dr. Steve Abrahamson, Pioneer in Healthcare Simulation, (1921 – 2014) July 15, 2014: Dr. Stephen Abrahamson, a pioneer in healthcare simulation who helped to develop Sim One, the first healthcare manikin, passed away Monday, July 14. He was 93.
The path to healthcare simulation started in 1964 when Dr. Abrahamson, then Director of the Division of Research at the University of Southern CaliforniaSchool of Medicine, was challenged to use computers in the medical school. Dr. Abrahamson saw the potential to use computers to help medical school educators improve education and outcomes. His idea that an anesthesia student could learn from data rather than using a patient was unprecedented.
A collaborative effort among engineers, physicians, researchers and educators, Sim One allowed anesthesiologists to experience life-like interaction with a computer-driven manikin. A 1967 film of Sim One brought Dr. Abrahamson's work to the attention of national media including interviews by Time Magazine, Life Magazine and Newsweek Magazine. While Sim One made national headlines, the medical community responded negatively, doubting the value of healthcare simulation.

Dr. Abrahamson lived to see his groundbreaking work become standard and widely accepted. Today, healthcare simulation is included in training of healthcare professionals worldwide.
Some notable awards that Dr. Abrahamson had received included:
- Samuel C Harvey Memorial Lecture Award – 1981 – American Association for Cancer Education
- Hubbard Award 1986- National Board of Medical Examiners
- Merrell Flair Award in Medical Education – 1992 – Association of American Medical Colleges
- Gravenstein award – 2000 -Society for Technology in Anesthesia
- Simulation Innovation Award -2014 – Society for Simulation in Healthcare
On behalf of SSH and those within the simulation community, we want to express our condolences to the Abrahamsons family and friends. The Society for Simulation in Healthcare is so pleased to have honored Dr. Abrahamson last year at IMSH in San Francisco. Personal notes and condolences can be sent to Phil Abrahamson ([email protected]), son of Dr. Abrahamson, who accepted his father's award last January.
Shown here is the interview which played at IMSH 2014 between Dr. Abrahamson and Dr. Gaba, which highlighted Steve's amazing story about building SimONE:

This project will provide the assessment of the chemical, physical, biological, and bacteriological integrity of surface waters.
The goal of this project is to construct, calibrate, and validate a watershed model using the Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model for the Upper/Lower Red Lake Watershed. The contractor will produce an HSPF model that can readily be used to provide information to support conventional parameter Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Studies. The model will generate predicted output for hydrology, sediment, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen that is consistent with observed data.
The purpose of this project is to improve understanding of primary productivity in the Red River and the diversity and population structure of the algal communities occurring along the river system. This will be accomplished through taxonomic identification of periphyton and phytoplankton assemblages necessary for characterizing responses to nutrient gradients along the Red River of the North.
The goal of this project is to extend, calibrate, and validate the existing Hydrological Simulation Program – FORTRAN (HSPF) watershed models in the Red Lake River, Thief River, Clearwater River and Red Lake watersheds.
This project will develop an effective transferable model to engage and educate watershed residents, stakeholders and others to better understand and protect watershed ecostystems through environmental monitoring, training, and formal and informal education programs in their local watershed. The project will build on the foundation of the existing Red River Basin River Watch program by strengthening three main activity areas: 1) curriculum integration and teacher training, 2) youth leadership and civic engagement, and 3) applied research collaboration and watershed science skills building.
The goal of this project is to gather and collect necessary watershed data for the development of a Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) for the Upper/Lower Red Lakes Watershed that includes impairments, their causes, and plans for restoration. Implementation of the WRAPS will maintain or improve water quality for the watershed.
This is a joint project between the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), North Dakota, and Manitoba. The project is a basin-wide, up-to-date water quality trend analysis using the "QWTrend" program for approximately 40 bi-national river sites to review nutrients, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, sulfate and chloride from 1980 - 2015.

Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Department of Radiology, Box 980615, Richmond, Virginia 23298-0615, USA
Sports-related knee injuries are common, accounting for a significant percentage of all sports injuries. Ligamentous knee injuries have been estimated at approximately 98 of 100,000 per year [1]. While injuries are common in many sporting activities, sports involving twisting and ''cutting'' movements and contact sports are most likely to result in knee injury. Knee injuries are especially common in female athletes, occurring several times more frequently than in their male counterparts participating in cutting sports [2,3]. Serious knee injuries result in decreased athletic performance or may be career ending in elite athletes. In recreational athletes, knee injuries result in diminished lifestyle and time off work. Failure to recognize and properly manage knee injuries can result in premature osteoarthritis in both groups.
While both acute and chronic knee injuries are important in the athletic population, acute injuries account for most injuries requiring evaluation by MRI. For this reason, this article will focus on the systematic approach to MR evaluation of acute knee injuries.
Sports injuries affect the knee menisci, ligaments, cartilage, bones, and peri-articular soft tissues. Complex injuries involving multiple structures are common, and recognition of the full extent of injury is critical to effective treatment. In the setting of acute knee injury, the physical exam may be less reliable, owing to swelling, effusion, and guarding [4-6]. A carefully elicited history may help in establishing a likely mechanism of injury, but is often nonspecific. Therefore, diagnostic imaging, in particular MRI, plays an important role in the urgent work-up of athletes with acute knee injury.
MRI has been shown to be highly accurate in detecting acute injuries to various knee structures [7]. Although it seems intuitive that MRI would be indicated in evaluating ''significant'' acute knee trauma, there is conflicting evidence regarding its efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Several recent studies have concluded that MRI significantly affects the clinical decision-making process,

sportsmed.theclinics.com and may result in fewer unnecessary arthroscopies [8-12]. A recent trial found early MRI was cost-effective in the acute knee injury setting, in terms of cost, quality of life perception, and lost productivity [13]. Others have cautioned that because of variation in patient populations, and regional experience with MRI and arthroscopy, extrapolation of these results to the athletic population cannot be assumed [10,14]. Regardless of existing evidence for or against MRI, the test is frequently obtained urgently for both elite and casual athletes sustaining acute knee injuries in the United States.
In the acute injury setting, we recommend an approach to knee MRI interpretation that includes both evaluation of individual structures and a global assessment for certain reproducible injury patterns. Few knee injuries involve isolated structures, with complex injuries involving multiple tissue structures being common. Furthermore, in knees with multiple injuries, the sensitivity and specificity for ligamentous and meniscal tears is decreased [15]. Therefore, we believe that the recognition of specific injury patterns can help in a more complete identification of the extent of injuries, aiding clinical management. In this article we first review the evaluation of individual knee structures. We then describe our mechanism-based consolidated approach, whereby complex knee injury patterns can be recognized from the MRI patterns involving bone, ligaments, menisci, and periarticular soft tissues.
A comprehensive discussion of the many technical factors influencing MR image quality is beyond the scope of this article. However, several basic technical issues merit brief discussion. We perform a standard knee protocol for both acute and chronic knee injury settings, and we use essentially the same protocol for adults and children. We do not routinely use intravenous or intra-articular gadolinium contrast for the setting of acute knee trauma. Regarding magnet strength, several studies have compared the accuracy of images from low and high field strength magnets in assessing knee injuries, and have found no significant difference in the assessment of meniscal tears and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries [16,17].
The choice of specific knee MRI sequences varies considerably by institution, by machine, and by physician preference. Our protocol (at 1.5 T) consists of five routine sequences, including a conventional spin echo (SE) intermediate or ''proton density'' (PD) weighted series in the sagittal plane; fast spin echo (FSE) PD with fat suppression (FS) series in the sagittal, coronal, and axial planes; and a 3-D spoiled gradient recall (SPGR) FS series in the sagittal plane for articular cartilage evaluation. Low field strength ''open'' and extremity-only magnets often are incapable of FS, and one or more short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences are substituted for FS sequences in this case. Although opinions vary, recent studies have suggested that FSE sequences are inferior to comparable conventional SE sequences in enabling the detection of meniscal tears [18-21]. Regarding image presentation for interpretation, ''soft copy'' image viewing on a workstation is preferred to ''hard copy'' film viewing because of the benefits of electronic brightness and contrast (window and level) adjustments, magnification, scrolling, and linking of images. The use of very high contrast ''meniscal windows'' is of little value [22], and no longer advocated by most authors.
Finally, whenever possible, the MRI study should be interpreted in conjunction with a recent radiograph. Even with experienced readers, calcified abnormalities, including small loose bodies and chondrocalcinosis may be overlooked or misinterpreted by MRI alone. Furthermore, small but significant fractures, such as fibular tip avulsions or Segond fractures, may be missed by MRI alone.
Meniscal tears occur commonly in the setting of acute knee trauma. A ''trap and twist'' mechanism occurs when a varus or valgus force pinches the involved meniscus between the femoral condyle and tibial plateau, followed by abrupt rotation that disrupts the meniscus in the longitudinal plane. Thus, rotational knee injuries are the most likely to produce meniscal tears.
Although MRI criteria for meniscal tears have been long established and high-accuracy demonstrated [20,23-26], thorough scrutiny of images in multiple planes is still required in each case. This is especially true for the acute injury setting, in which associated edema and effusion may limit assessment. Furthermore, significant acute tears must be differentiated from preexisting me-niscal abnormalities and numerous normal variants of meniscal anatomy.
The detection and standard classification of meniscal tears is based on abnormalities of the meniscal signal and shape. The most widely accepted scale for intra-meniscal signal abnormalilties classifies signal changes into Grades 1 to 3: Grade 1, globular increased signal not extending to the meniscal surface; Grade 2, linear increased signal not extending to the meniscal surface; and Grade 3, linear (3A) or globular (3B) increased signal extending to an articular surface (superior or inferior) of the meniscus [24] (Fig. 1). Using Grade 3 signal changes as indicating a tear, and arthroscopy as the ''gold standard,'' the accuracy of MRI is greater than 90% in most series [20]. Most authors agree that abnormal signal must extend definitively to the meniscal surface to be called a tear [27,28]. This is informally referred to as the ''squint sign'': if one has to squint hard to call the signal as extending to the meniscal surface, it likely is not a true tear.
Meniscal tears are further classified by their shape as horizontal, longitudinal, oblique (parrot beak), and radial [29,30] (Fig. 1). Simple horizontal tears are frequently considered degenerative in origin, and their relevance to the acute injury setting is questionable. In our experience, most acute traumatic tears are oriented vertically (longitudinal, oblique, or radial), although in many cases a complex configuration is present. A precise description of the type and extent of a tear, including the location of displaced fragments, is relevant to management. Bucket handle tears occur when a longitudinal tear

propagates anteriorly and posteriorly, with the inner fragment displacing into the central or intercondylar notch region of the joint [31]. Large meniscal fragments will often displace into the intercondylar notch, creating a conspicuous ''double PCL [posterior cruciate ligament] sign.'' A bucket handle or flap tear may fold back on itself, resulting in the ''flipped meniscus'' appearance of two triangular fragments pressed against one another [31]. Smaller meniscal fragments can displace in a more subtle fashion into the medial or lateral recesses and gutters, posterior recess, or into the popliteal recess [32].
Meniscal variants, such as the discoid shape, predispose to tear, especially in adolescents [33,34]. In the case of a torn discoid meniscus, the remaining fragment may appear deceptively normal in size and shape. Several intra-articular ligaments may cause confusion and lead to false positive diagnosis of meniscal tear. The meniscofemoral ligaments (Humphry and Wrisberg), transverse meniscal ligament, and meniscomeniscal ligament have been reported as potential pitfalls in this regard [35-38]. Fastidious identification and accounting for all in-tra-articular structures, especially in the intercondylar notch, helps in avoiding such pitfalls.
Primary and secondary MRI signs of acute ACL tears are well described [3944]. Reported sensitivity and specificity for acute complete ACL tears in adults [41,42,44] and adolescents [45] is high for most series.
The primary signs of ACL tear, including discontinuity, abnormal morphology, and abnormal increased signal intensity, are most valuable [40,44] (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2. (A) Normal ACL. (B) Acute ACL tear (arrow).
Secondary signs, including bone contusions of the lateral femoral condyle and posterior lateral tibia [46-49], anterior tibial translation, uncovering of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, and buckling of the PCL, are less sensitive [43]. The diagnosis of partial ACL tear by MRI is less accurate [50,51]. In differentiating partial from complete tears, secondary signs may be useful, as well as evaluation of the ACL in multiple planes (sagittal, coronal, axial) [51,52].
PCL tears are accurately detected by MRI [53-55]. The most important signs are morphologic: partial or complete discontinuity, and amorphous increased signal intensity of the ligament (Fig. 3). When present, bone avulsions of the tibial attachment are readily seen. Isolated PCL tears are relatively common, typically due to a posterior directed force on the anterior tibia with the knee in flexion [56]. PCL tears often occur as part of complex injuries, including knee dislocations and hyperextension with posterior tibial translation [55].
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) consists of superficial and deep layers. The superficial MCL layer is the knee's primary valgus restraint. The most valuable signs in detecting MCL injury are focal disruption of fibers, thickening, and abnormal increased signal within and surrounding the MCL (Fig. 4). With acute MCL injury, correlation between MR grading and clinical grading (Grades 1, 2, and 3) is only moderately accurate [57,58]. Rather than arbitrarily attempting to fit MCL injury patterns by MR into clinical categories, we prefer to grade simply as: normal, incomplete injury, and complete tear.
Several important structures contribute to the posterolateral (PL) stability of the knee. These structures are complex with considerable anatomic variation [59], which complicates their evaluation by MRI. Major components include the fibular collateral ligament (FCL), arcuate ligament, popliteal tendon, popli-teofibular ligament, and fabellofibular ligament, with contributions from the iliotibial band, biceps femoris tendon, lateral gastrocnemius tendon, and joint capsule [60]. These structures act in concert to provide static and dynamic

restraint against varus angulation, internal/external rotation, and anterior/posterior tibial translation [61]. Injuries to the posterolateral corner structures can result in serious acute or delayed posterolateral rotary instability of the knee. While some individual structures at the PL corner such as the FCL, popliteal tendon, and biceps femoris tendon are readily evaluated, the small size and anatomic variability of other structures makes their evaluation difficult. However, most PL corner injuries involve multiple structures and the presence of localized swelling and injury to at least one of the structures usually indicates a PL injury.
Injury to the FCL can be assessed for swelling, increased intrasubstance signal, and frank discontinuity. As with the MCL, we prefer grading FCL injury as normal, incomplete injury, and complete tear. Popliteal tendon rupture, often indicative of serious generalized PL corner injury, usually is shown as obvious discontinuity with a wavy appearance of the partly retracted tendon [56]. Popliteal muscle injury, denoted by edema, swelling, and discontinuity of some

fibers, is more common than tendon rupture, but less specific. The distal biceps femoris tendon can be similarly assessed for swelling, abnormal signal, and discontinuity. The posterolateral joint capsule, including the arcuate ligament, can be assessed for focal disruption, even in the presence of soft tissue swelling. Finally, osseous abnormalities can be an important secondary sign of PL corner injury. Bone contusions involving the anterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle and adjacent anteromedial tibia indicate a hyperextension-varus injury, the most common mechanism for PL corner injury [62]. A small avulsion of the fibular tip (arcuate sign) may also indicate significant PL injury [63,64]. When seen in conjunction with these bone injuries, any abnormality at the PL corner should be viewed with suspicion.
In any acute knee injury, a thorough evaluation of the articular cartilage should be performed. Fluid-sensitive sequences such as FSE PD FS, FSE T2 FS, and STIR sequences, as well as specialized cartilage sequences such as 3D SPGR FS, are well suited for cartilage evaluation [65].
Injury mechanisms most commonly associated with chondral or osteochon-dral injury include transient patellar dislocation and ACL injuries. With the latter, osteochondral injury occurs at the site of impaction of the anterior lateral femoral condyle and the posterior lateral condyle resulting from anterior translation of the tibia at the time of ACL rupture [66-68]. Delaminating cartilage injuries may be subtle, with linear fluid between the cartilage and subchondral bone [69] (Fig. 5). Displaced cartilage fragments can be remote from their donor site; these fragments can be difficult to identify if a joint effusion is not present, and therefore should be searched for carefully.
Systematic assessment of the bone structures frequently yields very useful information regarding the specific mechanism of knee injury. Fluid-sensitive sequences are highly sensitive to increased extracellular water within the trabecular marrow space. In the setting of acute trauma, localized subchondral
high-signal areas usually represent trabecular ''bone marrow edema'' (BME) secondary to microtrauma (''bone bruise'' or ''contusion''), or macroscopic fractures that may still be radiographically occult [70-72]. As described by Palmer and colleagues [73], impaction injuries produce fairly large areas of edema, while avulsions produce smaller abnormalities localized beneath the avulsed structure (Fig. 6A). Contiguous bone contusions denote an injury occurring in extension, whereas noncontiguous contusions occur during abnormal translation of one bone over another, usually in flexion [56] (Fig. 6B,C).
Certain small but important fractures may be very subtle on MRI, including the Segond fracture [74], reverse Segond fracture [75,76], and fibular tip
avulsion [63,64]. These fractures are associated with other significant internal derangements, and should be searched for carefully.
Assessment of the periarticular structures for ancillary findings can be useful in establishing the mechanism of injury in a given case. Localized soft tissue swelling or hematoma may denote the site of a direct blow force. Hemarthrosis and lipohemarthrosis show two or three distinct fluid layers, respectively, and indicate significant intra-articular injury. Localized deep soft tissue swelling is also a sign of likely adjacent ligamentous, capsular, or meniscal injury.
In addition to assessing individual knee structures, we find it useful to apply a ''pattern approach'' to classify the mechanism of knee injury. When the mechanism can be deduced, additional ''at risk'' structures may be identified, with a reevaluation often demonstrating additional injuries. Multiple mechanism-based knee injury patterns have been described clinically, radiographi-cally, and with MRI. Pivot shift injury, clipping injury, O'Donoghue triad, Segond fracture, and transient patellar dislocation are several well-described patterns [77].
Major injury producing forces at the knee include angulation (varus, valgus), rotation (internal, external), translation (anterior, posterior), hyperextension, axial load, and direct blow trauma. Injuries as a result of a pure or single force are unusual, as most injuries result from two or more forces exerted simultaneously or in succession.
Knee injuries occurring in extension and flexion result in distinctly different patterns. Injuries occurring in extension or hyperextension produce more
pronounced bone injuries [56]. Forces directed across the extended or nearly extended knee typically produce large impaction bone contusions at the site of entry, and small avulsion BME or ligamentous tears at the opposite, exit site of the force (Fig. 7). Hyperextension injuries produce distraction at the posterior side of the knee, leading to significant ligamentous injuries at the postero-lateral corner, posteromedial corner, or in severe cases, both.
Knee injuries occurring in the flexed position typically show fewer contiguous impaction bone contusions [56]. Instead, these injuries produce noncontiguous impactions or small avulsions as a result of internal or external rotation and translational movement. Injuries in which varus or valgus combine with

rotation forces are more likely to produce traumatic meniscal tears as a result of the ''trap and twist'' mechanism.
Taking into account the forces and positions described previously, we described 10 distinct mechanism-based knee injury patterns that can be identified by MRI [56]: (1) pure hyperextension; (2) hyperextension with varus; (3) hyperextension with valgus; (4) pure valgus; (5) pure varus; (6) flexion, valgus, with external rotation; (7) flexion, varus, with internal rotation; (8) flexion with posterior tibial translation; (9) patellar dislocation (flexion, valgus, with internal rotation of femur on tibia); and (10) direct blow. In a small series, 85% of knee injuries could be classified into 1 of these 10 patterns [56]. MRI features of these patterns are described as follows.
Pure hyperextension (rare) injuries show a broad impaction-type bone contusion or fracture at the anterior central tibial plateau and anterior femoral con-dyles (Fig. 8). Depending on the severity of the force, posterior capsule rupture and corner injuries may occur. Either anterior or posterior tibial translation

FSE PD FS images show typical anterolateral tibial and femoral contusions (A, B, *), PCL tear (C, arrow), posterior capsule rupture with posterior tibial avulsion (D, arrow, *), and MCL tear (E, arrow).

Radiographics 2000;20:121-34; with permission.)
may result in ACL or PCL injuries, respectively. With sufficient force, frank knee dislocation occurs.
Hyperextension with varus (uncommon) injuries characteristically show impaction BME in the anterior medial tibia and anterior medial femoral condyle (Fig. 9). Injuries of the PL corner are present, with additional ACL tear and possible avulsion of the proximal fibular tip.
Hyperextension with valgus (rare) force produces distinctive impaction BME at the anterolateral proximal tibia and anterior lateral femoral condyle (Fig. 10). Ligamentous injuries include PCL tear and posteromedial corner, which may be accompanied by small posterior medial tibial rim avulsions. The contiguous, or ''kissing'' bone contusions at the anterolateral aspect of the knee should be distinguished from similar, but noncontiguous translational impactions of the lateral femoral condyle and posterior lateral tibia that occur with ACL injury.
Pure valgus (uncommon), or clipping injury is characterized by contiguous impaction-type BME of the lateral tibia or lateral femoral condyle (Fig. 11) and small avulsion BME foci involving the medial condyle or medial tibia at the insertions of the deep MCL. Partial or complete MCL injury is present.
Severe valgus force leads to additional ACL injury and medial meniscal tear, the O'Donoghue triad [77].
Pure varus (rare) is characterized by impaction BME of the medial tibia and femoral condyle, with soft tissue injury of the iliotibial band and FCL (Fig. 12). This pattern is rare, as varus forces are usually accompanied by rotation.
Flexion, valgus, with external rotation (common) or pivot shift injury pattern accounted for approximately half of all complex knee injuries in our series [56]. Noncontiguous impaction contusions of the mid lateral femoral condyle or posterior lateral tibia are typically present (Fig. 13). In some cases, BME at the posterior medial tibia or medial femoral condyle is also present, as a result of either avulsions or ''contrecoup'' impactions [78]. The ACL is completely torn, and there is variable injury to the MCL. However, complete MCL tear is uncommon with this mechanism. The PL corner is occasionally injured. Both medial and lateral menisci are at risk for tear, with approximately equal incidence in our experience.
Flexion, varus, with internal rotation (rare) produces the well-described Se-gond fracture, an avulsion at the lateral capsule insertion on the tibia [74,79]. Complete ACL tear is present, with noncontiguous impaction contusions in the lateral condyle and posterior lateral tibia (Fig. 14). The avulsion BME at the site of the Segond fracture may be subtle. PL corner injury, and both medial and lateral meniscal injury may occur with this mechanism.
Flexion with posterior tibial translation (uncommon) may occur when an athlete falls onto the flexed knee, with the contact driving the tibia posteriorly. There may be no contusions, or BME may be present at the anterior tibial tubercle at the site of the blow (Fig. 15). Most often this mechanism results in isolated PCL tear. Severe force, more common in dashboard injuries than in athletics, may cause posterior knee dislocation.
Patellar dislocation (uncommon) occurs when the flexed knee contracts while subjected to valgus and internal rotation of the femur relative to the fixed tibia [56]. Femoral trochlear hypoplasia may predispose to this injury. The bone contusion pattern is distinctive: noncontiguous impaction BME at the anterolateral aspect of the lateral femoral condyle and medial patella [66-68] (Fig. 16). This injury is often associated with chondral or osteochondral injury
to the patella, which may be well demonstrated with MRI. In addition, injury to the medial retinaculum, medial patellofemoral ligament and medial patello-tibial ligament may be present [77,80,81]. Patients with significant supporting soft tissue injury or patellar chondral injury following transient dislocation may benefit from surgery [77].
Direct blow (uncommon) mechanism is characterized by an impaction contusion with BME at the site of injury (Fig. 17). If the injury is recent, the adjacent soft tissue may show edema or hematoma. With older injuries, the bone contusion may persist longer than the soft tissue abnormality. Typically there is no significant internal derangement associated with this mechanism.

Inspiring 'Dance to Learn!'® Curriculum for Elementary Aged Students
November 16, 2011
In continuation of our blog "Inspiring 'Dance to Learn!'® Curriculum: For Preschoolers" this blog explores creating a dance syllabus that benefits elementary aged dance students' as a whole.
Recipe for Success
Classes are made up of the following Ingredients to ensure that children receive the most out of their dance classes. The Recipe for Success ensures that our Mission 'Dance to Learn'® is fulfilled by including not only dance principles but also concepts that will help a child with their development and schooling.
3/4 Moving and Shaking
Warm Ups
Across the floor
Center Work
1/3 Development Skills
Cognitive Skills
Motor Skills
Language Skills
Social Skills
1/3 School Subjects
Foreign Language
1/3 Life Lessons
Problem Solving
Critical Thinking
Peer Relations
Team Work
1 Dose Healthy Living + A Ton of Fun= "Success in School and in Life!"
Incorporating School Subjects in Dance Classes
For elementary kids, we incorporate school subjects in every class under the premise that dance can be taught as a tool to help kids in school!
For example a common Dance Activity performed in our Hip Hop classes include a stomping game. Stomping is rhythmic form of hip hop where body parts are used as instruments to make rythms and communicate. Hip hop teachers will break students up into groups and have them create a mathematical dancing language through their stomps.
For example kids could determine that one clap stands for the word "Hello!"
Two claps stand for "Goodbye!"
One stomp stands for "Friend"
Two stomps stand for "Enemy"
One knee slap stands for "Stay"
Three knee salp stands for "Go"
By moving their bodies they can create an entire language of dance. The above exercise could also be used to tell mathematical equations.
One clap= 1
Two claps=2
Three claps=3 etc
One stomp= add
Two stomps= subtract
Three stomps= multiply etc.
So One clap one stomp and four claps would equal=
1 + 4
The other group would have to solve the equation.
This exercise could be changed for all types of styles of dance!
Teaching Elementary Children Life Lessons Through Dance
Dance at this age should absolutely be a tool to motivate children to do well in school. Dance Exploration, LLC's 'Dance to Learn!'® Curriculum in combination with our "Yes" Environment all come together to ensure that children are learning the important skills that dance fosters.
Dance benefits a child in so many ways:
* Through combinations it teaches memorization.
* The weekly review of steps and technique teach determination and a slight perfectionism to perform the steps correctly.
* Dance teaches spatial awareness and a body can move through space and within space.
* Dance is an incredible form of self expression which can certainly help youth who feel "unheard."
* Mastering steps, choreography, and space is extremely fulfilling and can boost even the lowest of self esteems.
To ensure that these important life lessons are taught, is the responsibility of the teacher. This is why we believe in a seperate training session for our Dance Educators on creating a positive environment for our students. In order for children to master moves, thereby increasing self esteem and memorization, as well as feeling most comfortable expressing themselves through movement, all comes from feeling safe and comfortable in their class and among their peers.
The best way to teach these important life skills is by providing teachers to these children who can nourish them to perform at their best, encourage positive behavior and attitudes, and someone who can be a real mentor for these kids!
