Rand Paul tried to end Tyranny
Evan G Rogersposted 10 years ago
Rand Paul recently tried to filibuster the passage of the continuation of completely tyrannical aspects of the Patriot Act. But both the House and the Senate were able to end it and pass the bill.
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-201 … e_facebook
Obama signed it into law just a few minutes before the law would have expired.
Obama lied to us - he said he would end the Patriot Act, end the wars, and shut down Guantanamo Bay.

I hate W. But EVERYONE must agree that Obama is just Bush Jr. Jr.
Vote him out, vote for Ron Paul.

Good for Rand Paul. I applaud his efforts. I wish it would have worked.

I actually am rooting for Ron Paul to win the Republican nomination. I disagree with many of his actual policies (though agree with others, such as his stances on the wars, the Patriot Act, etc.) but I think he'd be just the shot of new ideas this country needs to get a real debate going.
Of course, for that reason alone, the Republican establishment will never let him get anywhere near the nomination.
I just can't get into a guy who believes that we should inspect meat, should end public education, and the Department of Energy, as well as any regulation. Deregulation of the markets has led to an escalating crisis every few years. However, I support some of his stances.

And he's pro-life.....does not believe in freedom really---I mean really. Freedom for all. As a woman, pro-life is my litmus test.
Cause all it really means is--we will force you to have that baby, then you are on your own.
Technically, I think he believes the question should be returned to the states, but I agree that it's a cop-out. Not everybody is free to just pick up and move across state lines if they think they might ever need an abortion, and by the time you actually need one, it's pretty much too late. Plus, if there's no doctors left in your state who perform them and you need one for bona fide medical reasons, you're completely screwed. Someone shared a horrible story just the other day on LiveJournal about being left bleeding in an emergency room for hours due to placental abruption because the baby wasn't actually dead yet and none of the doctors on call would perform abortions. Complete nightmare!
Yes--they are criminally charged, I think.
The anti-abortioners are such sadists...wonder if they enjoy others suffering?
Bottom line: They want to dictate what I do with my own self.
They criminalize decent doctors who swear an oath to help others.
They stick their noses where they don't belong, and where they can really help--they bail!
No tax money for poor kids. Only corporations and the top 2%, thank you.

"They want to dictate what I do with my own self"
Actually, Ron Paul does NOT want to "dictate" anything. her der.
You clearly have never looked into his arguments. He wouldn't write laws -- BECAUSE HE'D BE PART OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT -- and he would leave the issue up to the state where you live -- WHERE YOU HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THE LAWS.
If it was up to the states, we'd still have slavery and children working in coal mines.....
Who knows WHAT they would do now, to "save a buck".
well that's just nonsense
"Red States Making Legal Abortion Nearly Impossible"
http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/blog/2011 … impossible
It's already happening...states are already denying women a Constitutionally guarenteed medical procedure because they don't agree with it.
States trump individual liberty and personal freedom. That is NOT libertarian, it is ideology-driven control.
You're right, states ARE denying the practice. But not all of them.
And that, at the very least, let's people choose where to live. If you're anti-abortion, go live in such a state. If you're pro-abortion, then go live in such a state.
See how "leaving it up to the states" helps everyone be happier?
Nope. See above. (Or below, for your convenience.)
"Not everybody is free to just pick up and move across state lines if they think they might ever need an abortion, and by the time you actually need one, it's pretty much too late. Plus, if there's no doctors left in your state who perform them and you need one for bona fide medical reasons, you're completely screwed. Someone shared a horrible story just the other day on LiveJournal about being left bleeding in an emergency room for hours due to placental abruption because the baby wasn't actually dead yet and none of the doctors on call would perform abortions. Complete nightmare!"
Also bear in mind that some states have already tried to make it illegal for a woman to cross state lines to get an abortion, and that, even if you are personally opposed to abortion and think you'll never need one, you can't always predict what will happen during pregnancy. The woman I mentioned with the placental abruption was married, financially secure, and already had two children - I doubt she ever dreamed she might need an abortion before her pregnancy started going wrong.
According to you and Ron Paul, if she happened be unlucky enough to live in a state (region, really - you know the entire South and most of the Midwest would outlaw it within weeks) where abortion isn't possible to get when her pregnancy was diagnosed as high risk, she should have to drop everything and move her entire household to a different state within a matter of a few weeks - screw jobs, mortgages, and other local commitments - while somehow simultaneously avoiding all unnecessary physical exertion and stress as prescribed by her doctor. Yeah, right.
what would you rather have to do? Pack up and move to a new STATE to get an abortion? or Pack up and move to a new COUNTRY to get an abortion?
You would NOT be making the same argument if the Supreme Court ruled that Abortions are unconstitutional.
... now can we agree that letting states make the rules would be a much better solution?
(please also realize that you are advocating anarchy in your arguments! "Why should I have to move to do that which I wish?!" ... THAT'S MY ARGUMENT!!! i'm merely trying to show that decentralization is a much better alternative to centralization.
Fair enough. I personally believe that the consequences of making abortion illegal are such* that its availability should be protected at the federal level, but you are correct that doing it state by state would be preferable to making it outright illegal at the federal level.
* Western Europe, where abortion is easily available for any reason in most countries, has the lowest abortion rate in the world, half that of the Middle East and North America, which are second and third lowest respectively. Aside from China (with state enforced abortions) and Eastern Europe (where abortion is easily available but birth control is not), the highest rates of abortion in the world are in Africa and Latin America, where abortion is illegal in most countries. We are talking abortion rates up to five times higher than Western Europe and more than double that of North America. If birth control remained widely available in the US, our abortion rates would probably remain fairly comparable to what they are at present, but of course many pro-lifers want to outlaw various types of birth control too.
In addition to the possibility of higher abortion rates from outlawing abortion, the rate of fatal complications to the mother goes from about 1 per 100,000 for legal abortions to 1 per 300 for illegal ones, and the rate of non-fatal complications is also much, much higher. In practice, "pro-life" people fighting to outlaw abortion are fighting for more lives to end, not fewer.
I don't think that it's safe to draw a connection to the legalization of abortions and the rate of abortions. Each area of the world has its own issues to deal with, and a complex web of them at that.
However, I can argue with confidence that making abortions illegal would NOT prevent them from happening, and it would make the act much more dangerous.
This is why I'm so on the fence with this issue - they're going to happen whether it's legal or not, and it would be safer with them being legal.... but, the damned thing IS a human (or at least it looks enough like it to fool me. I don't think I've ever seen a couple so excited to see an ultrasound of their liver.)
"Safe, legal, and rare" is my goal. Making abortions illegal does nothing to stop them happening and everything to make them more dangerous. Improving sex education and access to effective birth control, as most of Western Europe has done, is a much more effective means of reducing the number of abortions. Add in better social support systems for single mothers and women in abusive relationships, better prenatal care for women with high risk pregnancies, and a society that universally condemns rape instead of victim blaming, and abortion could be nearly eradicated.

Mr. Rogers (couldn't resist) what Ron Paul says, his people obey.
I love the way that "enforcing the constitution" is seen as cult-like.
Yes, America, it's gotten that far.
It's not a cop-out!! that's what the damned constitution says!!!
It's a medical procedure. A controversial one, granted, but nevertheless one that can save lives. By your logic, perhaps we should start letting states decide whether to allow quadruple bypass heart surgery. After all, people who spend their lives eating junk food need to take responsibility for their actions, too. Why should the rest of us have to pay higher premiums because they're too stupid to keep their mouths shut?
Don't forget people who drink alcohol.Perhaps alcohol should be out-lawed? It kills for sure.
And we MUST outlaw WAR, as it kills people--too many to count. Kills babies too. Lots of em.
Let's see...what else......old people who drive--we MUST butt in and force them to walk or take a bus--as they are known to just drive into people and buildings...killing at random.
Meat! Ooohhh, that's a huge killer.
Fluoride...proven to poison. Cell phones! Cause cancer, which equals death....How much more do we need the "freedom-loving" libertarians to be involved in telling us what and what not to do?
I am not sure where your being sarcastic or when you are being serious. First, particularly old men have a hard time giving up the drivers license and needs to have the DMV (RMV) revolk it. My mother after 2 rearends, volunteered to give hers up, but my father I-L, let's just say he scares the bejesus out of his passagers. So far, no one has been injured or died.
My point being, when it comes to social issues, there needs to logic, reasoning, and knowlable sense in play. Oh, and by the way "Freedom-Loving Libertarian" in the same phrase is an oxymoron. Freedom to fit personal interests, pleasures, and what-nots, is more accurate of a Libertarian, not what is good for social structure.
last time I checked you weren't removing any potential-future-individuals from a heart during heart surgery.
...Yeah...
(Please note, I'm not sure which side of the debate I fall under. i just know damned well that heart surgery and abortions shouldn't really be compared in the way you suggest)
Lovemychris, you really have not listened to me correct you on this "pro-life" thing.
He states his position clearly in just about every one of his writings:
No matter what his belief is, he will likely leave it to the states individually to decide what to do, unless it is a truly federal issue.
Sure, he's pro-life, but not only does he admit that the president is NOT the king, he admits that, as president, he would only ENFORCE the laws, not WRITE them.
So, keep trying that "he's pro-life, and thus will make abortions illegal" nonsense. It only shows that you haven't actually looked into his ideas.
I'll let him speak for himself:
In 1981, he went on to argue, "Pro-life libertarians have a vital task to perform: to persuade the many abortion-supporting libertarians of the contradiction between abortion and individual liberty; and, to sever the mistaken connection in many minds between individual freedom and the 'right' to extinguish individual life."
Lest you think it's just a minor issue for him, consider the obscure fact that Ron Paul has written not one but two books arguing for the necessity of a pro-life libertarianism: 1983's Abortion and Liberty and 1990's Challenge to Liberty: Coming to Grips with the Abortion Issue. And lest you think he has since changed his views on abortion, ponder what he's saying now. On June 4, 2003, speaking in the House of Representatives, Paul described "the rights of unborn people" as "the greatest moral issue of our time."
Other such quotes aren't hard to find. On March 29, 2005: " I believe beyond a doubt that a fetus is a human life deserving of legal protection, and that the right to life is the foundation of any moral society." Jan. 31, 2006: "The federalization of abortion law is based not on constitutional principles, but rather on a social and political construct created out of thin air by the Roe court." On that note, he has referred to a "federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn." Just before the Ames straw poll, he came out with an Iowa ad touting his pro-life credentials, although in slightly more subdued terms: "I find it difficult not to defend a life a minute before birth just as I would defend that life a minute after birth. To me, it's recognizing the importance of life."
Apparently it was dramatic enough to cause Paul to author H.R. 1094, a bill that declares that "human life shall be deemed to exist from conception," a standard Christian Right viewpoint.
He does NOT believe I have the right to an abortion! I DO NOT want that man as president!
So, all that you've quoted is in complete agreement with what I've written. Good job on that one.
He would still leave it to states, and would not write the law unless he were in a state legislative governing body.
Yes, he's against abortions. No, he won't cram it down your throat.
Unlike Obama's health care.
Hell, I bet that if a pro-life piece of legislation went through US Congress, he'd veto it on grounds that such an issue is not a Federal issue.
I'll let that one sink in a bit: If the Paul's were president, they would VETO Pro-life legislation because it is not a federal issue.
No--he would veto it because MY Constitutionally guarenteed rights, he would leave up to the gvr of a state to decide!!
NO THANK YOU! Rights are not delineated state by state...they are THERE FOR ALL, ALWAYS.
I don't know if you knew this, but the phrase "right to have an abortion", or anything similar, is not mentioned ANYWHERE in the Constitution.
Thus, with the 10th Amendment, your "constitutional right" is that abortion is up to the states.
Yep. That's how it works. Reading.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. "
I have the right to be secure in MY PERSON. As in---YOU not forcing me to give birth.
...just... wow.
If you look at the English language, you'll learn that a thing called a "comma" exists. A comma is a break in the reading of a sentence, and is used when listing things. That which follows a series of commas is NOT separate from that which comes before. In fact, the part before the comma is almost always DIRECTLY connected to that which comes before it.
Hence, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons.... AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES" would imply that this passage has nothing to do with anything OTHER than searches and seizures.
Having an abortion illegal has nothing to do with "searching a person" or "seizing a person".
For more information on commas, here is a decent website: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm
The usage of the English language has further clarified an incorrect argument and, hopefully, shed some light on the issue.
You most certainly ARE seizing me when you force me to carry a fetus to term and deliver it....
You are taking possession of my body!
Now, see, this is just nonsense.
I'm sure that this is what the USSC actually used to make the decision in Roe v. Wade, but this is just nonsense.
The right to an abortion is at most a state's issue.
On top of that, I AGREE with your argument: people want abortions, need abortions, etc. People do not have the right to make something like that illegal when others might want such a thing - it's very similar to the drug war problem.
But don't give me this cockamamie "You're free from searches and seizures" argument. It's just nonsense. The constitution grants the federal government NO such power to make abortions legal or illegal.
It's a state issue.
Oh sure. I oppose many of his domestic policies pretty strongly, I just think things need to be shook up a bit in Washington, and if he managed to get the nomination we might actually get some decent policy debates instead of the usual circus.
Oops...meant "not inspect meat."

Evan, I think it could be said the Pauls also hate government. I guess I have never understood why so many, mainly conservatives and Neo-Libertarians, are so attracted to a "profession" that they hate - at least philosophically. Clearly, a true Neo-Libertarian, once in government, would do his or her best to dismantle the very aparatus of government much like the last stage of communism where leadership disappears and anarchy steps in to take its place. There are both wonderful ideas, but they are both, in my opinion, "unworkable fantasy."
I like the Pauls personally, I have real issues with laissez-faire capitalism.
Ron and Rand Paul are not anarchists.
That being said, I'm glad that no one is denying that Obama has failed to deliver the most important parts of his campaign promises.

This is indefensible, and it looks like Congress might just cede its most important check on Presidential power: the power to declare war and conclude peace. The House just recently approved a bill to let the president prosecute the so-called War on Terror anywhere in the world, including the USA, that the Prez decides to send the troops.
This is worse than the Patriot Act, and I don't say that lightly.
If the Senate doesn't block it, Obama will probably sign it, and we'll be royally screwed.

David Sirota:
If Rick Perry runs for prez he'd make history - the 1st major-party candidate hoping to run a country he wants to leave.
As a guy from Texas, I am telling you, this guy is the dangerous. He could win. When you hit a point that the actual voter means nothing, as there aren't 10 people in the state who like him, but he wins by landslides. The day they announce we have a higher debt than California, he goes on live TV and tells the state we have a surplus. This guy will stab you in the face, and then look you right in the eye, and tell you he is here to save you from whomever stabbed you, while he is still holding the knife. It is incredible. He is the definition of power insider, very dangerous, and he can win.
Yeah--he's got the Romney "look' thing going....handsome, debonaire....and just as rotten inside.(imo)
Romney is dangerous too.
Kofer Black was his advisor....NUFF SAID.
Perry--selling off the highways to foreign countries? How much of a cut did he get?
Tejas...big oil, big corruption. And I agree...dangerous to kids and all living things.
Romney scares me because he actually believes he is going to be a God of a planet. He scares me because he actually believes that there is a living prophet, which he must and I mean must, follow instruction. Mormons are much more into forming an entire society based upon religion than even Catholics are. I know this because I was Mormon. This isn't a misconception. Romney believes he is going to run a planet, and be their Jesus. I can't trust a guy who believes that, or that magical underwear will protect him from evil spirits....or that Joseph Smith was anything but a con artist. It is like the black thing though...yes, I can say this because technically, if you ask the Mormon church, I am still a Mormon. I can talk about my peeps like that.
About Perry - good lord! Yes, this guy sold potentially the most important and well traveled highway in Dallas, one that was ALREADY BUILT, made it into a toll rode and sold it to an Italian company. He HAD to have made millions personally of that one.
I agree with all of that.

Same. I hate voting for the lesser of evils, but given a choice between sometimes getting angry about decisions I disagree with and constantly getting angry about decisions I disagree with, I'm gonna have to go with sometimes.
Yep, even me. Obama is actually quite centric on the political spectrum. It is just that our political spectrum has shifted away from the standard, to the far right over the last 30 years. Line it up on a sheet of paper, and he isn't too far off of Reagan actually. So, no...he is not the left wing savior by any means. I like him though. This was a horrible decision.
I know he isn't perfect, but all in all, I fully support Obama still. He has done several things I disagree with, but I know my President isn't going to follow exactly what I personally want. I fear Ron Paul more than I like him.

What is the problem you have with what I said?
The right does not think we are in this together--they think it is one for oneself, screw the other guy.
They don't think they owe their fellow citizens anything.
"The right does not think we are in this together -- they think it is one for oneself, screw the other guy"

How can "we be in this together" if you keep singling "them" out and talking about how evil "they" are?
Your argument is clearly nonsense.
Liberals are in this country to help each other AS a country.
One for all, and all for one.
Righty's are in it for themselves. "Let me make as much money as I can, pay the least taxes, and let me be free from regulations."

Your side always brings the Hate word into it....as if no one can disagree with you without hate.
No where did I say hate. You did.
And right-wingers are not in it for everyone...that is the message they have forgotten, and liberals have not.
Is it really so hard for you to grasp this ?
hahahahahah!!
"Your side" is exactly what people say when they don't believe they are in it together.
How can you "be in it together" when you constantly segregate a group of people and belittle them?
BTW - you know I'm not a "right wing" individual. "My side" is one of personal liberty and freedom - "we" bring hate to no one.
Yeah, but I can take what you say and call it hate just as easy as you do.
And you are voting for a Republican...you are on their side.
And-- how many times I can do this with you?
We are all in this together....that is what I believe, how I was raised....what our country used to espouse.
Righty's don't follow this philosophy.
It is not belittling to point this out...it is stating the truth about the matter.
Now, if I said they really weren't Americans, really weren't born here and really are not who they say they are---that would be belittling...
and maybe people who are anti-abortion and say they are not haters should go to an operation rescue event.....the hate is palpable there.
This is just classic crap. I'm loving it.

Here is their plan:
End Medicare.....end it.
Lower taxes on corporations.
Cut spending, while keeping the Bush tax cuts.
Obama said he wants to invest in America...they said, Not a chance in Hell.
Here's an article that shows a direct relationship to government intervention in the health care market and a dramatic rise in prices.
http://mises.org/daily/5320/How-the-Exp … Healthcare
Obama says he wants to "invest in America", but every time that the government steals money from part of its population to give to another part, things just end up more expensive and complicated.
If you look at the third chart, you can see that health care costs were rising SLOWER than the CPI. But right around 1965, when medicare legislation was signed, the rate of the cost of health care begins to rise sharply.
The CPI includes costs of medical services, and thus the rate of change of CPI inflation would actually be LESS if it didn't include the medical costs.
Bull. We need to invest in infrastructure, green energy, and education--just take the gd banks out of it, and we'll be fine.
Medical costs are high because of greed. Same reason for the high cost of everything.
You know, I work with a woman from Moldava....she said today was "Childrens Day" in her country. Parades, dances, ice cream, festivals...and the parents take the day off to celebrate kids.
I had to laugh at that ever happening here...a day off? For what? You saw the STINK the R's caused for CHIPS. For anything that costs money.
We don't have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem....and the R's will make it 100,000 times worse on 95% of us.
What will people do when there's no money for the Nursing Home? What of a disabled person? Who will quit work and watch them? How will they pay for the meds---since the COST is astronomical...due to GREED.
Money is their God, not mine.I personally could shove it down Boehner/Cantor/Ryan's throats....but they are too busy COLLECTING it to care!
GREED!! GREED!! GREED!!!
Show me one person in this world who isn't greedy, and I'll know you're a liar.

Despite what you may think Rand Paul was speaking out against the drone program.After having heard so much dismay and grief from the left about this program and how much they disagreed with it I can only wonder why some of the Democrats did not join him?Or is the word bipartisan just a tool to you?
Do you think Rand Paul will run for President in 2016? Would you vote for him?

Q: How to create a static class that represents what is in the database? I have a table that looks like:
AccountType

ID  Name  Property1 Property2 Property3

On startup, I want to create a class that represents the database rows, that I can reference by both the ID and Name.
I want this to be a static representation (it will never change, if it does in the rare occasion, i can restart the application) because I will be referencing in my code and don't want to hit the db all the time.
I need it in the database because I need to join it with other tables also.
Can this be done?
Usage:
AccountType[1]
AccountType["PRO_PLAN"]

A: Definitely. Try this:
#config/initializers/constants_from_account.rb

ACCOUNT_TYPE = {}

AccountType.all.each do |account_type|
  ACCOUNT_TYPE[account_type.name] = account_type
  ACCOUNT_TYPE[account_type.id] = account_type
end

Then you can use ACCOUNT_TYPE[1] or ACCOUNT_TYPE["PRO_PLAN"] -- either the ID or the name -- to access your new hash of account types.

Ridley Scott's 'Exodus' casts a wide net of spectacle and family
Written by: Wire Services

In Ridley Scott's lavish new 3-D epic, "Exodus: Gods and Kings," rivers run with blood, ancient seas part with tsunami force, and Christian Bale delivers a portrait of Moses as a passionate, hot-tempered holy man who struggles with his relationship to God, depicted as an androgynous, strong-willed child.
It's a radical departure from Cecil B. DeMille's Hollywood standard-bearer "The Ten Commandments," and even months before the release of their costly new popcorn retelling of the Old Testament story, Scott, Bale and Australian actor Joel Edgerton, who stars as the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, were bracing themselves for a wallop of a reaction.
"The reception, I think, that you're going to get to this is extremes," Bale said. "The film is one of extremes."
Maybe it was his time playing one of civilization's most famous prophets, but Bale's prediction has proved spot-on. From the outset, "Exodus: Gods and Kings" generated controversy over its choice of two Caucasian actors to play the leads. That particular point of contention flared up again just days before the movie's Dec. 12 opening after Fox's Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch tried to defend the movie on Twitter by asking "Since when are Egyptians not white?"
It remains to be seen how audiences might react to 11-year-old Isaac Andrews as the God who instructs Moses to leave his family and save the Hebrews from enslavement.
But seated in a suite at a Beverly Hills hotel with his leading men on a late September morning, Scott seemed relaxed and in high spirits, satisfied with the creative decisions that conjured his "Exodus." He set out to chronicle Moses' journey from privileged son of Egypt to embattled leader of the Israelites with enough blockbuster bombast to impress the Almighty himself.
Scott wasn't interested in merely repeating the cinematic triumphs of the past or offering moviegoers a sermon.
"I didn't want audiences to feel they were going to go and see a Bible movie," said Scott, 77. "I wanted audiences to feel they were going to see a film about two men who wouldn't normally be brothers who are in competition with each other. One happens to be the pharaoh that will be, the other one is his friend and closest ally, and they come apart at the seams over the question of the nature of his nationality."
If his approach works, "Exodus" could qualify as one of Scott's biggest miracles, an end-of-the-year counterpoint to Darren Aronofsky's sci-fi inflected "Noah," which played to a somewhat mixed reaction in the spring. Scott's specialty is spectacle; he dreams in wide screen, and it wasn't so long ago he resurrected the sword and sandals genre to best picture acclaim with 2000's "Gladiator."
"What I do for a living, I secretly enjoy most doing things where part of the task is to create universes," Scott said. "It's hard. I always think the universe that the actors work in is more than the proscenium, it's one of the most important characters."

A HUMAN MOSES
Producer Peter Chernin, who oversaw the movie business at Fox for years before launching his own venture, initially reached out to Scott to gauge his interest in directing the film. Scott's relationship with the studio dates to his 1979 breakthrough, "Alien," and he's made numerous other movies with the studio, including his most recent, last year's star-studded drama, "The Counselor," which fizzled at the box office.
Reading the "Exodus: Gods and Kings" script, credited to Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, Jeffrey Caine and Steven Zaillian, the director said he was intrigued by the scope and scale of the production but also "gobsmacked" by what he didn't know about Moses.
Bale too said he was surprised by what he turned up in his extensive readings to prepare for the role, which included studying the Old Testament, the Torah, parts of the Koran and Jonathan Kirsch's book "Moses: A Life."
"This guy had a really tumultuous life," said the Oscar-winning actor, who came to the set of "Exodus" fresh off playing a slovenly con man in David O. Russell's "American Hustle."
"In his early years, he was absolutely prone to all the temptations and passions of all of us in everyday life. Even in his relationship with God, he wrestles, he fights, he tries to ignore him.… You don't see that relationship very often. As you learn in the film, that's the meaning of Israelite, somebody who wrestles with God," said Bale.
At the outset of the film, Moses hasn't yet learned the truth about his Hebrew identity and instead he's a warrior prince concerned with more earthly travails, including a pending siege of 15,000 soldiers against a Hittite army at the Battle of Kadesh.
It's only after they claim victory that Moses, on a visit to the slave quarters near the marble quarry, encounters the scholar Nun (Ben Kingsley), who explains to him the real circumstances of his birth.
Rumors spread throughout the kingdom that the favored son of the Pharaoh Seti (John Turturro) is, in fact, the descendant of slaves. Ramses banishes Moses from the kingdom, and he eventually finds shelter and a bride in the village of Midian. After seven years he's also confronted by a demanding God, who insists that Moses return to Egypt and secure the freedom of the Hebrews.
Edgerton, known for a turn in the Aussie indie "Animal Kingdom" and for such films as "Warrior" and "The Great Gatsby," said he wanted Ramses to come across as a sympathetic figure, despite his willingness to perpetuate the injustices against the Hebrews.
"I'm a real sucker, and I think audiences are too, for family relationships, particularly when you reduce that to relationships between brothers," Edgerton said. "I have a very strong relationship with my brother and of the pride involved for Ramses of having a father who quite openly favors someone else, listens to someone else, holds more weight in another person's opinion."
"It's interesting, isn't it?" Bale interjects with a wink and a deadpan nod, "because your dad, your real dad, kind of prefers me to you. So we could draw on our own lives."
DRAMATIC EFFECTS
Although Scott had previously mounted a religious epic of a different sort with his Crusades costume drama "Kingdom of Heaven," "Exodus" was by far a more difficult film to make. (Asked about concern over the film's casting, Scott said, "I like to cast people that form into a team. We're totally multinational.")
Shot in just 74 days, the $140 million production – which reportedly cost $200 million before tax incentives and rebates – visited England's Pinewood Studios, in addition to Almeria in southern Spain and Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa.
It took more than 1,500 visual effects shots to digitally bolster the ranks of the Hebrews and to help authentically render plagues of hail, locusts and frogs, although some 400 actual amphibians were brought to the set at one point. And then there was the matter of the movie's most visually dramatic set piece, the parting of the Red Sea, which Scott said was inspired by a tsunami believed to have been triggered by an underwater earthquake off the Italian coast circa 3000 BC.
"I mostly don't lose sleep when I'm making a film," said Scott, who already has moved on to his next project, "The Martian," starring Matt Damon. "This one, I lost a little bit of sleep."
"EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS" starring Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Ben Kingsley, Sigourney Weaver, John Turturro, Aaron Paul and Isaac Andrews. Directed by Ridley Scott. Written by Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, Jeffrey Caine and Steven Zaillian. A 20th Century Fox release. Running time: 2:30. Rated PG-13 for violence including battle sequences and intense images.

Back in 2012, Beck released his Song Reader—an "album" of original songs released only as sheet music. And now, he's finally announced plans to release actual recordings of the songs, with each track recorded by a different artist. It's due out July 29 via Capitol.
The record features contributions from Beck, Jack White, Jarvis Cocker, Tweedy, Eleanor Friedberger, Laura Marling, Swamp Dogg, Jack Black, Sparks, the New York Dolls' David Johansen, Jason Isbell, Loudon Wainwright III, Norah Jones, Fun., and others.
"It amazes me to hear how these musicians have made the songs their own and in the process revealed that the interpretation is the living breathing soul of the piece," Beck said in a press release. "These interpretations have made the book something new--- something better."
You might recall that Cocker, Black, and others accompanied Beck in a live Song Reader performance late last year.

Wates increases blue light portfolio in Merseyside
Wates Construction has been appointed to build a brand new fire station in St Helens, becoming the third development delivered on behalf of Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service in four years.
Wates appointment to the new £7m building in St Helens closely follows the contractors completion of Saughall Massie Fire Station, which was handed over ahead of schedule in March.
The latest project is the third in a line of new community fire stations delivered by Wates on behalf of Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, which also saw the contractor build the new Fire and Police Station in Prescot in 2018.
Work on the new fire station in St Helens is expected to commence this summer and will see Wates build a three appliance bay two-storey operational fire station with welfare accommodation, a community meeting room, offices, training facilities and parking.
Wates has made a commitment to invest in extensive community engagement throughout the project, which will include education activities as well as employment and training opportunities for local people.
This commitment builds on Wates efforts at Saughall Massie Fire Station where the team delivered over 500 hours of education engagement activities for local students as well as being joined on site by nine apprentices.
Throughout its construction of Saughall Massie Fire Station, the Wates team provided 341 apprenticeship weeks, 42 training weeks, 24 work placements and delivered 27 community activities for local people.
The team also donated a community defibrillator, which has now been installed permanently on the site of Saughall Massie Fire Station.
Paul Dodsworth, Managing Director of Wates Construction North, commented:
Over the past four years we have worked closely with our client and the local community to create two state-of-the-art facilities that will enhance the high standards delivered by Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service.
I am extremely proud of the work delivered by the teams on site and our appointment to the new station in St Helens is a huge testament to the quality of their work as well as their continued efforts to positively impact the local community.
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Services Chief Fire Officer, Phil Garrigan said:
We are delighted to be moving forward with our plans for a brand new fit-for-purpose fire station in St Helens. The new fire station will provide our firefighters with the facilities that they rightly deserve whilst maintaining some of the fastest response times in the country.
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service is excited to be working with Wates on our latest station and we look forward to seeing the architects plans come alive. We know Wates excellent standards and are confident that our Fire & Rescue Station in St Helens will attain the same build quality as the ones they have previously built for us in Prescot, and most recently, in Saughall Massie.
The three new fire stations have been procured via the North West Construction Hub, which was established in 2009 in response to central governments drive to improve efficiencies within the public sector.
Wates portfolio of projects delivered on behalf of Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service also included Toxteth Fire Fit, which was handed over by Wates in 2013 and is now home to Liverpools Super Youth Zone.
Wates retains position on Southern Construction Framework
Wates Construction has retained its place on the fourth generation Southern Construction Framework (SCF), which promises a potential £5.25bn pipeline of work across the South.
Saughall Massie fire station to become home to new community defibrillator

Former ambassador and possible 2024 contender Nikki Haley to aid Republicans during Iowa visit
Brianne Pfannenstiel
Des Moines Register
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly identified Linda Upmeyer. She is the co-chair of the Republican Party of Iowa.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and possible 2024 presidential contender Nikki Haley will be attending a slew of events on behalf of Iowa Republicans this week.
Haley, who is the former governor of South Carolina, was previously announced as the keynote speaker at the Republican Party of Iowa's annual Lincoln Day dinner in Des Moines June 24.
While she's in town, Haley also plans to hold an event for female elected officials with Republican Party of Iowa Co-chair Linda Upmeyer as well as an event for Story County Republicans and the Young Republicans of Iowa, a spokesperson confirmed.
She plans to attend fundraisers for Iowa House Republicans and House Speaker Pat Grassley, Gov. Kim Reynolds, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra and U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson is out of town, but Haley is working with her team on additional events.
More:Nikki Haley, former ambassador and governor, gives Gov. Kim Reynolds an early reelection endorsement
"Amb. Haley's priority is taking back the House and Senate and electing conservatives up and down the ballot. That's why she's proud to join (Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff) Kauffman to fight for Iowa's conservative leaders as they take on (U.S. House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi and (U.S. Sen. Majority Leader Chuck) Schumer's hand-picked liberal candidates across the state," Chaney Denton, spokesperson for Haley's Stand For America PAC, said in a statement provided to the Des Moines Register.
Haley previously endorsed Reynolds in her presumed 2022 reelection bid and Mariannette Miller-Meeks in her 2nd District race. She has also worked behind the scenes, sending fundraising emails and text messages for Iowa Republicans as both the 2022 midterms and the 2024 Iowa caucuses loom.
Haley's visit helps boost excitement and fundraising among Iowa Republicans. It also generates goodwill and visibility for her should she formally launch a campaign.
Though national Democrats have indicated they'd like to make changes to their primary process, possibly ending caucuses and replacing Iowa as the lead-off state, national Republicans have not made any similar pronouncements. Iowa Republicans like Kaufmann continue to push to keep Iowa first in line, and they say the steady trickle of potential contenders like Haley boosts the state's credentials.
More:'The Iowa caucuses are on': Republicans say early political trips reinforce plans for 2024 caucus
U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas is attending a state party reception in Sioux Center next week. And next month, former Vice President Mike Pence will make his first trip back to Iowa since the 2020 election to appear at a forum hosted by Christian conservative organization the Family Leader. He'll be joined by fellow 2024 potentials like former Sec. of State Mike Pompeo and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.

Brexit – London is preparing "for all eventual hiccups"
The United Kingdom is preparing "for all eventual hiccups". This includes the possibility that there will be no trade agreement with Brussels at the end of the Brexit negotiations, Brexit Minister David Davis said on Sunday.
"We are preparing for all the possible problems. Not just my team, but the whole government", Mr Davis told the BBC. London could invoke article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty on Tuesday. This would kick-start its divorce from the EU.
Earlier on Sunday, the Foreign Affairs Commission of the House of Commons, the UK Parliament's lower Chamber, accused the government of not sufficiently preparing for the failure of its negotiations with Brussels.
"The possibility of no agreement being reached is high enough that the government needs to prepare for it. There is nothing to show that this scenario has been sufficiently taken into consideration", the Commission warned. The Commission is made up of Conservative and Labour MPs who think this type of failure would have "disastrous" consequences for London and the EU.
Although she says she is optimistic about the outcome of the negotiations, Theresa May said she would prefer "no agreement" to a "bad agreement" with Brussels. She has promised to formally launch divorce proceedings with the EU before the 31st of March.
British MPs will examine the bill that would allow London to start the divorce procedure with the EU during a second reading on Monday. The text could be definitively adopted by Parliament's two chambers on Monday evening, which means Brexit could begin on Tuesday.


Keeping your little one healthy and safe is a full-time job. You childproof the medicine cabinet, use baby gates on stairwells and hallways, and install safety latches on your stoves and cabinets. Obvious hazards such as getting into a car with strangers and leaving the yard without anyone watching are situations parents frequently warn against. You practice what to do if your baby decides to crawl around and put things in his mouth.
As soon as babies crawl, they will inevitably find themselves in a variety of unexpected circumstances, some more critical than others. There are things you should immediately know in case an emergency does happen. You can design your home in such a way that things are within convenient reach in case you panic and won't be able to think as objectively. First, you have to place your cordless phones in areas that you often go to. If having several lines installed in your house helps, then go for it.
In case of power outages, keep flashlights available in each room. Also make sure that they have batteries that work. Otherwise, you'll be groping around the dark and increase your chances of bumping into things. Don't wait until a power failure does happen. It's easy to become disoriented when the lights go out. Moreover, items left in the doorway or on the stairs may result in accidents and injuries. Put flashlights and candles in areas that don't require you to walk far. Check the batteries regularly and stock your drawers with batteries of different sizes.
Put a list of allergies and medical requirements your child may have. If he is severely allergic to certain foods, he may accidentally ingest an allergen that could cause a severe reaction. If he requires medical attention and you're not around, the babysitter should know what to do. Provide a list of the doctors to call and the medicines to take to give them immediate relief. Because these people may also not know what to do, make sure that your instructions are precise and well-stated. Also, list down your number so that they could call you as soon as this happens. For example, a parent with an asthmatic child may need a rescue inhaler in case he gets into a coughing fit. The caregiver must be made aware of what emergency number to dial and where to get the medication just in case the paramedics don't come immediately.
Having a proactive attitude that incorporates responsible actions and safe practices gives everyone the confidence and security to act responsibly. As much as you would like to stay home with your baby, you may be required to leave them at home every so often. It's not always easy for parents to hand over the big responsibility to someone else. To at least calm yourself, you need to take these precautionary measures. They really do make you feel better, and at least you can now leave your home knowing that you've given the people at home everything they need to keep your baby safe and unharmed. When it comes to emergencies, knowledge is definitely power.

Q: Servlet filter is not initialized, url-mapping not working in web-fragments? I have an .ear with a war webapplication which is composed of n web-fragment jars. I somehow can't get my servlet filters to call doFilter or even the init methods when mapping the filter with an url-pattern.

What am I doing wrong? There is no evidence that url-patterns do not work with web-fragments in the specification: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/jcp/servlet-3_1-fr-eval-spec/servlet-3_1-final.pdf?AuthParam=1539621798_87c76bcc77456ce463d523d10f4ac5e1
I know that I can also bind the filter by servlet-mapping, but I really do not want to filter all requests from MyService with GetToPostFilter only those requests on .../getMyData


Could my detached right retina be sending signals to my brain, causing spots in my vision?
I had retinal detachments in both eyes separated by six months, due to PVD. Left eye was thankfully 100% repaired with buckle and vitrectomy. Right eye underwent six surgeries due to recurrent detachment and the retina now remains mostly detached (and will stay that way until technology improves). The vision in right eye is getting dimmer and dimmer as the months go on, as one would expect. However, something disturbing is happening with my vision. I am finding that even with my right eye closed, the visual field in my left eye is "blotchy." To explain further, if I fixate on an object, within a second, grey/scintillating blotches fade in and out of my vision pretty randomly (but mostly nasal and lower half of vision, sometimes central). The doctor said there's absolutely nothing wrong with my left retina, but I am very concerned because this problem is not going away. It's not a migraine aura either, because I have no headache and the effect happens 24/7. My question is, could my detached right retina, which is billowing around in my eye, be sending electrical signals to my visual cortex that my brain is getting confused by, causing this? If I close my left eye I do seem to see blotches and shimmering in my right eye, but it's really hard to correlate the location to determine if indeed the right eye is causing the visual issues. Has anyone heard of this happening in people with a permanently detached retina? If so, will it improve over time as the detached retinal cells die? Would patching the bad eye permanently help? I know that the optic nerve in the right eye can be disabled with an alcohol injection, might this be a solution if the problem doesn't go away?
When patients have suffered significant vision loss in one of their eyes, it is not uncommon for them to experience a variety of visual symptoms that may disturb or confuse the vision in the healthy eye. Some patients find this is helped by patching the worse eye or putting frosted tape on the spectacle over that eye. In many cases, this can become less bothersome over time. While alcohol injections can disable optic nerve function in the worse eye, there are side effects from this treatment such that it is rarely performed these days.

Recap: Ash Vs Evil Dead - Judgement Day - S3, Ep9 & The Mettle Of Man S3, Ep10
Ash Vs Evil Dead...
Note - I have put these two episodes together for recap purposes because well I am a busy man (well that's not true but I digress) however it actually turned out the these two episodes together would make a pretty kick-ass 3rd act (both in emotional and action horror beats) for a film...anyway apologies for the tardiness - on with the recap.
We join Zoe in the midst of a Ruby and Kayla inspired ritual to save their skins... be removing a chunk of Zoe's and creating a new page of the Necronomicon. The Dark Ones are coming and this is Ruby and Kayla's last shot. As Zoe spouts some cold ass shit to say to Ruby and Kayla - Kayla ain't having any of it and gouges her eyes out and cracks her skull open.
Ash, Brandy and Pablo are back at the house trying to regroup, Brandy feeling the effects of being brought back to life but vomiting non-stop (Ash of course doesn't suffer the same fate - and he doesn't get hangovers either). Pablo becomes connected to the book and sees Ruby and Kayla and they figure out the Kayla is inhabiting Kelly's body and Ash decides to go get it whilst Pablo goes to the rift. Whilst at the rift, the Dark Ones arrive on the search for Ruby and Kayla.
Ash arrives at Ruby's with the idea of evicting Kayla from Kelly's body. After a fight with Ruby, (in which she crushes Ash's chainsaw) the Dark Ones arrive and they do the job for Ash, first grabbing Kayla from Kelly's body and killing her and then destroying Ruby. Ash takes Kelly's body and the Necronomicon to the rift.
Meanwhile Brandy is battling the evil herself at Ash's house and in one of the many great call backs of this sequence gets chased by the evil and then fights a sentient mobile phone before having to saw her arm off - alas it is a trick but it was still a great image. Brandy immobilizes the phone before mulching it to death, muttering the immortal line - 'Who's laughing now?
Ash uses the Necronomicon to contact Pablo and they meet up near the hardware store but the Dark Ones arrive and reattach the last pages of the Necronomicon, as they do the ground rumbles and shakes and a giant demon rises from the earth - it's time to test the mettle of man.
Ash now has to face down his greatest adversary Kandar The Destroyer but first they have more pressing issues. As they are chased by the Deadites Brandy has am 'Ash' moment after the chasing Deadites start chanting 'Dead By Dawn' Brandy stabs it squarely in the face and Ash couldn't be prouder. As Ash, Brandy and Pablo take stock Ash has a moment, breaking down about why he was chosen and how he is a failure (it's a stellar bit of acting from Campbell). Brandy tells him to buck up and get back on the demon killing horse, this stirs Ash into action but first things first, Ash gets baked.
Ash and Brandy have another emotional moment (man, this episode is full of them), Ash wants to save Kelly's soul but to get there unseen Ash and Brandy will have to go into the sewer to get to the rift. Pablo meanwhile wheels Kelly's body through the hell that is now Elk Grove as Kandar The Destroyer...well destroys.
Back in the sewer Ash give Brandy the necklace from the Evil Dead films and in some way despite this not being a known final episode it certain felt like it. Ash and Brandy go to town on a horde of Deadites as Pablo is setting up the rift to get Kelly. Pablo says he thinks he can go in and get Kelly as he has one foot in each world, as Pablo goes into the rift Ash and Brandy fight off some more deadites, both ending in a bloody mess. Pablo comes flying back through the rift and Kelly doesn't wake up... until suddenly jolting awake, she looks like death and Pablo kisses her in a sweet moment.
Our group runs to the surface and ends up in the middle of an army battle against Kandar. Ash realises his fate and in yet another emotional scene says good bye to Brandy, tell Pablo he is now El Hefe and tells Kelly that she is the strong leader that everyone needs - Ash owns up to who he is and faces down the demon - in a tank. Attaching the Kandarian Dagger to a missile, Ash manages to fire it into the mouth of the demon and the demon falls on Ash's tank.
Ash is dragged away from the scene in a bunch of blurry moments, the only thing in focus is a Knight of Sumeria ring that his rescuer wears. Ash wakes in a box, in a concrete bunker. Ash he staggers out of the room, he is met by an android. The android takes him into another room and opens the large doors, Ash seems a post-apocalyptic landscape. The android then unveils the Delta - only it looks like it belongs in Death Race 3000. Ash demands to know what is going on and where his daughter is and the android responses saying that she will explain while he drives, as the Dark Ones are on the move. Ash climbs into the Delta and gets set for takeoff, the android asks Ash how he is feeling - it's a one word response...
Groovy.
Well that seems like that is it for AvED. A full three seasons of a something that Evil Dead fans could only really hope for in their wildest dreams and whilst it is a major fucking bummer that we won't get to see where this season 4 could have gone, this is a perfect ending and a tease that will never been brought to fruition. One of my personal all time favourite TV shows and will remain so from now until a demon apocalypse destroys the world.

A degree will require a minimum of two years for completion, while a career study course can be completed in the matter of few months. Depending around the range of medications they feature, online pharmacies may be divided into full-range, semi-full, popular, lifestyle, and specialized drugstores. This can be an indispensable service if you're house bound and can not travel.
Certification is pretty easy in principle, as you really only need to pass a PTCB pharmacy technician certification exam to get certified. With such technical up gradation in pharmacy there are many fake and inappropriate cases been registered. It is also a good idea to try to get national, school, corporate, online, and local scholarships.
The restrictions were placed from the governments and also the other medical related agencies. While generally it's best to stick with one, you could possibly find yourself having accounts at multiple stores depending on your own different needs. Aspiring techs should look at the variety of possible online pharmacy technician training opportunities before you make the important decisions about education to become a pharmacy technician.

An RNA surprise
Posted on November 30, 2021 by Dr. L. Golbe
As usual, some background may be helpful here: You've heard of genomics, the analysis of large numbers of gene variants as a clue to disease causation. But genomics doesn't deal with the actual proteins produced by those genes. That led to proteomics, the analysis of proteins in a tissue or fluid sample, as a more relevant window into disease mechanisms and possibly as a path to diagnostic tests. But proteins in samples can be influenced by many things such as breakdown of proteins by enzymes or by the cells' normal garbage disposal mechanisms. A solution is "transcriptomics," which identifies and quantifies messenger RNA (mRNA) on its way from being encoded ("transcribed") by DNA to being translated into protein. Although every cell in our bodies has our entire genetic endowment in the form of DNA, only a fraction of those genes is actually transcribed into mRNA. The types and amounts of mRNA produced depend on the job of the specific cell and its protein needs at the moment. Click here if you'd like to chew on a highly technical but excellent, current review of the topic.
In the current issue of the prestigious Journal of Clinical Investigation, a team mostly from the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville has compared the transcriptomes of tissue from cerebrum and cerebellum with autopsy-confirmed PSP to those with Alzheimer's disease and to controls with no autopsy evidence of neurodegenerative disease. I'll cut to the chase: To the researchers' surprise, they found the four types of tissue to be quite similar in their transcriptomic profiles. This result suggests that a treatment or a diagnostic test directed at one or more of the protein (or mRNA!) abnormalities in either disease could work for the other disease as well. We already suspected that, but without a lot of supporting evidence beyond the superficial observation that both diseases involve tau aggregation. This new paper provides some better evidence.
I'll return to the paper's practical implications in a minute. But first, back to biology class you go: "O-omics" results (Wikipedia lists 45 kinds of "omics" in biomedicine to date) are by their nature shotgun approaches, typically yielding a long, inscrutable list of statistically significant but questionably meaningful differences between subject groups. So, seeking some sort of useful pattern in the data, researchers divide the genes, proteins or mRNAs yielding statistically significant "hits" into categories based on their known functions. These categories are called "networks" because they're based on interactions or on commonalities of function. The process of creating and using such standardized, defined categories in genomics is called "gene ontology."
The authors of the new paper point out that previous transcriptomic work in AD has revealed differences from controls in many such networks, most prominently "immune function, myelination, synaptic transmission and lipid metabolism." They also point out that it's usually difficult to know if these mRNA differences are the cause of the cellular damage in AD or merely the brain's reactions to that damage.
Now back to this project: As I said above, the transcriptomic work analyzed not only the cerebral cortex, where the researchers knew ample pathology exists in both AD and PSP, but also, as a kind of control group, the cerebellar cortex, where the standard autopsy shows little or no damage in AD or PSP. Another feature of the study design was to use the temporal lobe as the source of its cerebral samples. That part of the brain is heavily involved in AD by standard methods but little or not at all in PSP.
Surprisingly, the results were that the transcriptome abnormalities (relative to non-neurological controls) were quite similar in all four types of tissue – AD temporal cortex, PSP temporal cortex, AD cerebellar cortex and PSP cerebellar cortex. In their words, "The DEG [differentially expressed gene] changes between AD and PSP in two regions of the brain demonstrate a striking conservation [consistency] of transcriptomic changes across these different neurodegenerative diseases."
Because the degree of traditionally measurable cell damage differed markedly across those four sets of samples, they infer that the changes are "upstream," meaning at an early step in the disease process, rather than "downstream," in reaction to damage. That would mean that even in the early stages of AD and PSP, the disease process is already at work in areas that have not started to show physical signs of damage as assessed by microscope, MRI or PET scan.
What were the networks most affected by the transcriptomic changes? In the authors' words: "Up-regulated in both AD and PSP were gene networks serving chromatin modification, gene expression, chromosome organization and metabolism of nucleotides. In the cerebellum the shared upregulated genes link to biological processes relating to RNA and RNA transcription, cell-cell junctions, and heart, kidney, gland, and circulatory system development. Shared down-regulated genes in AD and PSP are associated with gene ontology cell compartment terms related to mitochondrial and ribosomal functions in both the temporal cortex and the cerebellum."
The paper's first author is Xue Wang, PhD, a bioinformatician at Mayo. The last two authors, sharing credit as senior authors, are Todd Golde, MD PhD of the University of Florida and Nilufer Ertekin-Taner, MD PhD. I emailed Dr. Taner for her take on the results. She replied in part, "These findings can be leveraged to develop multifaceted therapies and biomarkers that address these common, complex and ubiquitous molecular alterations in neurodegenerative diseases." I'd agree.
So, this unexpected discovery suggests that it may prove fruitless to look for causes of specific neurodegenerative diseases in their gene expression profiles. Abnormal gene expression may not be the true origin of the disease, but only the cell's reaction – not to downstream physical damage visible with standard tools, but to some other, far more upstream causation. Yet, interrupting that reaction at the level of its mRNA might be the key to halting the progression of multiple, of not all, neurodegenerative diseases. Adding to the appeal of that approach is that the treatment targets are available at a very early stage of the disease process.
Testing that suggestion will have to start with analyzing more than just AD and PSP, and I'm guessing that this effort is already in progress thanks to the excellent collection at the Mayo Brain Bank. I'll keep you informed.
