DETROIT Achievement after achievement got trumped in a memorable Labor Day game for the White Sox, but all were subjugated to the most important mark of this Labor Day, Chicagos 5-4, 10-inning victory over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
Obviously, Im not thinking about records now or how many hits or how many games, said Omar Vizquel, who set the all-time record for most games played among players born outside of the United States with his 2,832nd game. Everyone here is focused to do one job, and thats trying to finish strong. Thats what Im trying to do.
I threw the ball well, said rookie Chris Sale, who earned his first career major-league win with 2 23 innings of hitless relief. Im just trying to do my best every time I get in the game and help the team win.
It was A.J. Pierzynski (2-for-5 on the day with three RBI, and batting .411 during his 13-game hitting streak) with an opposite-field looper that scored pinch runner Alejandro de Aza with the winning run, icing the seventh straight win for the White Sox, now a perfect 7-0 on their road trip.
When A.J. swings at strikes, A.J. can be dangerous, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. A.J. is the type of guy that was wasting a lot of at-bats this year. Hes been getting anxious, but when A.J. gets discipline at the plate, hes a guy I count on putting the ball in play, and he can do a lot of things with his bat.
No one is panicking, Pierzynski said. Were not giving away our at-bats. Were not swinging at bad pitches. Were just going in there saying, Hey, Im going to fight and see what happens. Its been working out.
The Chisox were sans their hottest hitter, first baseman Paul Konerko, who sat out with a balky back. Shortstop Alexei Ramirez and center fielder Alex Rios also were sidelined until the late innings, ceding starts to Mark Kotsay (first), Vizquel (short) and Andruw Jones (center).
We had Manny Ramirez in the lineup and we didnt have Rios, Alexei Ramirez and Konerko, and the lineup still looked good, Guillen said. Our depth is one thing thats a plus to have.
The Detroit damage was done almost exclusively by left fielder Don Kelly, who was a defensive dervish while also tapping an RBI single in the first inning and belting a two-run homer in the fourth that appeared for a while to be the game-winner.
Thats because the two potential aces dealt for one another this past winterEdwin Jackson was traded by Detroit for the Diamondbacks Max Scherzer, and was swapped by Arizona to Chicago at this years trade deadlinebasically mirrored one anothers effective pitching in the game.
Kellys RBI single came after Detroit led off the game with three straight hits and four in the first five batters facing Jackson. Those first-inning RBI, from Johnny Damon and Kelly, were the first earned runs allowed by Jackson in the first five innings in his first six starts with the White Sox.
The White Sox came right back at Detroit in the second, loading the bases on a blooper from Jones, which led to a game-tying, two-run base knock from Pierzynski. In the fourth, Juan Pierre pushed the Chisox ahead 3-2 with a two-out base tap.
In the end, both hurlers earned a no-decision for their labors. Jackson lost his streak of three straight games of double-figure strikeouts, exiting with six after overcoming early struggles to toss 7 13 innings of nine-hit, four-run, one-walk ball.
Scherzer busted out an almost identical line to Jackson, dealing for 7 13 innings and surrendering nine hits, four earned runs and two walks against six strikeouts. The burly Bengal was in line for the win until the eighth, when Alexei Ramirez pinch-hit for Kotsay and drove in pinch-runner Brent Lillibridge with the tying run, off wilding Tigs reliever Rick Perry.
I know the Tigers kid that was going to start Scherzer was going to throw the ball good. Hes got a good arm, Guillen said. Jackson was struggling early; it seemed every ball they hit, they hit hard. After that, he turned it around and settled down very well.
It was just one of those games, one of those days where you just go out and tell yourself youre going to have to battle, keep the game close and give our team a chance to win, Jackson said. It was one of those games you dont have your best stuff, but you dont want to show it. You have to go out and still have the same mindframe as if you did have good stuff.
A potentially tragic turn of events for the White Sox was averted in the eighth inning. With one on and two out, Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge clocked a long drive down the left-field line off Sale, initially ruled a home run by third-base umpire Tony Randazzo. The call was met with howls of protest from the White Sox and even a groan of honest disappointment for the 32,924 partisan Motown fans. The call was reviewedit was the second time Inge had hit a phantom homer this season vs. the White Soxand was overturned.
It was foul, Sale said. At first off the bat, I was like, Oh, boy, this is bad. Then, I saw where it went foul. Pierzynski was back there and was asking if it was fair or foul, and he said it was way foul. The home plate umpire didnt make a call. They circled around, and I said I thought it was foul. They went back and reviewed it and the reversal was big. Thank God it didnt catch fair.
Apparently all of us knew it was foul except for Randazzo, Pierzynski said. Replay made the right call. Brandon knew it was fouleveryone pretty much knew it was foul. Thats why they have instant replay, and it worked out because they got it right.
That correct call clicked in the same way the White Sox have of late, as they are beginning to look like the club that reeled of the incendiary streak (36-17 in June and July) that pulled them back into the AL Central race in the first place and are now a season-high 17 games over .500 at 77-60.
Were just finding ways to win games, Pierzynski said. Were battling; were not giving at-bats away. Nobodys panicking. Everyones sticking with their plan. It was a great win. It was a good ballgame, both teams played really hard and both teams battled. It was a good win.
Great game, man, great game. Great game to watch, Guillen said. Im a baseball fan, and that was a lot of action there, a lot of movement, a lot of decisions to make. A lot of good things happened today.
But on today of all days, the final state of the White Sox is delivered by a fella whos seen just about as many baseball games as (and played in more) than Guillen, the soft-spoken Vizquel.
We are in a pennant race right now, and this is the last three weeks of the season, Vizquel said. We have to give it all we can right now. And a couple weeks ago we went into a stretch where we lost a couple games in the last inning and we couldnt come back. Its a great sign that everyone is putting forth their best effort.

When will Nick Madrigal reach the majors?
That, now that Luis Robert's path to an Opening Day roster spot has been cleared by a big-money contract extension, is the most pressing of the prospect-related queries facing the 2020 White Sox, a team that, it should be noted, will be turning its focus away from the minors and toward playing big league baseball in October for the first time in more than a decade.
Not unlike Robert, Madrigal shredded minor league pitching in 2019, playing at three levels and showing just how successful his elite bat-to-ball skills can make him as an offensive producer. He stepped to the plate 532 times and struck out only 16 times.
There's a reason even Rick Renteria is already calling the 22-year-old "Magic."
The general feeling seems to be that Madrigal will start the season at Triple-A Charlotte, though with the waiting game apparently over on the South Side and the intent to win as many games as possible, perhaps a strong showing at spring training will see Madrigal starting at second base in the March 26 opener.
That's a question better answered after the White Sox have been in Glendale for a few weeks.
But Madrigal's goal is clear.
"I definitely want to be in Chicago as soon as I can," Madrigal said earlier this week at the team's hitters' camp out in the desert. "I know they have a plan for me one way or another, but I think that's the ultimate goal: being in Chicago and winning with that team.
"I know this offseason there's been a lot of moves, and I'm excited to be a part of that, hopefully, in the near future. The ultimate goal is winning. There's nothing else at this point."
Madrigal might not have blown the doors off the minors like Robert, who finished with a 30-30 season, but he wasn't fazed by climbing through the system. Madrigal put up good-not-great numbers in nearly 50 games at Class A Winston-Salem but exploded for a .341 batting average and a .400 on-base percentage in 42 games at Double-A Birmingham before batting .331 and reaching base at a .398 clip in 29 games at Charlotte.
That he didn't even reach 30 games in a Knights uniform could signal that the White Sox might prefer a little more seasoning, but he didn't see any problems facing the pitching at Triple-A.
"Honestly, it wasn't too different at all. There was nothing I hadn't seen before," he said. "There were some older guys in the league, more consistent arms. I thought it wasn't anything too different."
Madrigal's earning high praise all over the place, rated among the best prospects in the game. He's earned rave reviews for his ability on both sides of the ball, picked by team executives (in an MLB Pipeline poll) as having one of the best hit tools and gloves of any player in the minor leagues.
There still might be some skepticism, or perhaps mere curiosity, as to how Madrigal's skill set will translate to the major leagues. Players like him, who focus on making contact and putting the ball in play, are becoming rarer in today's game, which sees a focus on power and launch angle and an acceptance of strikeouts. His manager, one of "Magic's" biggest fans, isn't too concerned about Madrigal finding success once he finally makes the jump to the bigs.
"Watching him swing the bat yesterday, I'm amazed at his bat-to-ball skills. It's incredible," Renteria said Wednesday from Arizona. "He's actually filling out a little bit more. All these guys, we've seen them for the last four years, they're growing up. And even though Magic just joined us last year, you can see a difference in him, physically speaking.
"I think his skill set, in terms of his bat-to-ball skills, as he continues to develop, you may see a ball leave the ballpark here and there. But the fact he can put the bat on the ball and manage the barrel as well as he does, he'll be able to find holes. Continuing to improve upon and cleaning his swing path, staying through the ball a little bit more and still being able to use all parts of the field, his skill set will play. He'll find a way to get on base at a high rate through probably contact and eye recognition, pitch recognition."
Rick Hahn has said that he expects Madrigal to be the White Sox second baseman for the bulk of the 2020 campaign, so even if he doesn't make the 26-man roster out of spring training, keep your eyes peeled for a Madrigal sighting not too deep into the baseball calendar.
This is a matter of when, not if. So the walk-up music folks at Guaranteed Rate Field better start getting ready. Will it be "Magic Man" by Heart? Or "Strange Magic" by Electric Light Orchestra? "Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful is, of course, also acceptable.

White Sox fans suddenly have reason to stop focusing on the minor leagues.
Rick Hahn's front office has done an incredible amount of work this winter adding impact veterans to the team's young core, and because of it, there are realistic playoff expectations on the South Side. The summer figures to be spent focusing on what Yasmani Grandal, Dallas Keuchel, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, Lucas Giolito, Tim Anderson, Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease are doing at the major league level rather than what the potential stars of the future are doing in the minors.
In other words, the future is here.
But it's worth noting that the White Sox still have some of the best prospects in the game. It's true that a few of the biggest names among that group won't be prospects for much longer. Luis Robert just got a high-priced contract extension that clears the way for him to be in the lineup on Opening Day. While Michael Kopech will be limited in some fashion as the White Sox manage his workload in his return from Tommy John surgery, it's hardly out of the question that he could be a part of the 26-man group that leaves Glendale at the end of March. And Nick Madrigal, Hahn has said, figures to be the White Sox second baseman for the bulk of the 2020 campaign after he reached the doorstep of the majors last year.
The point is, however, that the White Sox core is not done growing. Moncada, Giolito, Anderson and Jimenez all broke out in big ways in 2019, and the veterans added to that group could push the team into contention mode as soon as this season. But Robert, Kopech, Madrigal and Andrew Vaughn are set to join that core, too, expanding it to one the White Sox hope will power championship contenders for years to come.
The Athletic's Jim Bowden ranked Robert as his No. 1 prospect in baseball, picking the 22-year-old center fielder to win the AL Rookie of the Year Award. And that's no stretch after the way Robert lit the minor leagues on fire in 2019. Playing at three different levels, he slashed .328/.376/.624 with 32 home runs, 92 RBIs, 31 doubles, 108 runs scored and 36 stolen bases. He's a true five-tool threat who receives rave reviews that peg him as potentially the best of all the White Sox young talent. MLB Pipeline is in the middle of rolling out their rankings ahead of the 2020 season, and we'll learn where Robert ranks on the site's updated list next weekend during SoxFest. But most recently, Robert was the site's No. 3 prospect in the game.
Kopech still has prospect status despite the fact that he made his big league debut in August 2018. That Tommy John surgery limited his major league experience to this point to just four games, wiping out his 2019 season. Whether he'll be the same elite pitcher that was promised prior to his surgery is one of several important questions facing the 2020 White Sox, but it doesn't seem to be deterring the rankers. Bowden has Kopech as the No. 11 prospect in baseball, and MLB Pipeline ranked him as the No. 4 right-handed pitching prospect in the game. Kopech is said to still be capable of unleashing the blazing fastball that made him such a tantalizing prospect in the first place. The big question now is how often he'll be able to use it, with the White Sox planning to limit him in some capacity. We'll have to wait until spring to find out exactly what those limitations look like.
Madrigal might not spend a long time at Triple-A Charlotte, expected to be manning second base for the big league White Sox for the majority of the 2020 season. But like they did with Moncada, Jimenez and Robert before him, the White Sox have no plans to rush Madrigal to the majors. Bowden has him ranked as the No. 14 prospect in the game, and we'll find out soon where MLB Pipeline has him among second basemen. We already know they think the world of his glove — which was touted as Gold Glove caliber by the White Sox the night they drafted him in 2018 — naming him the second baseman on their all-defense team (he won a minor league Gold Glove for his work last season, too). MLB Pipeline also polled general managers, scouting directors and executives across all 30 teams, and Madrigal's name popped up often, voted to possess the third best hit tool, the third best glove and the highest baseball IQ among all of the game's prospects. The guy struck out just 16 times in 532 trips to the plate last season, so he's obviously doing something right.
Vaughn is receiving similarly rave reviews this winter. Bowden ranked him as the game's No. 35 prospect, and MLB Pipeline might end up putting the White Sox most recent first-round pick even higher, naming him the top first-base prospect in baseball. A slugger whose bat earned high praise when he came out of Cal last summer, Vaughn might not reach the South Side in 2020 like the rest of the guys discussed here. But he does figure to have a similar impact when he finally does. He played just 52 games between Class A Kannapolis and Class A Winston-Salem after joining the organization, hitting a combined five homers at those stops. He's still swinging the bat that launched 50 homers and drove in 163 runs over three seasons in college. That aforementioned MLB Pipeline executive poll? In it, Vaughn was picked as having the second best hit tool in the game. The White Sox just gave Abreu a three-year contract extension that will keep him on the South Side through at least the 2022 campaign, but the 37-year-old Encarnacion could be here as briefly as one year (his contract has an option for 2021), potentially opening up a spot for Vaughn should everything go right in the minors.
And this is without even mentioning guys like Dane Dunning, Jimmy Lambert and Jonathan Stiever, who could all wind up playing important roles on the pitching staff.
So while there is plenty of reason for your minor league interest to wane — because meaningful baseball is expected to be happening at the major league level in 2020 — know that the White Sox farm system (at least the tippy top of it) is still worth salivating over. These guys should be on the South Side soon, only adding fuel to the fire Hahn has built this winter.

U.S. Regulators Basically Tell Deutsche Bank To 'Nod If You Understand What We're Saying'
And also that it has T-minus 12 months to makeover itself into an "After" bank (the "Before" being a pile of used tires left on the side of the road) and the clock starts now.
Deutsche Bank under fire from U.S. regulators over what they see as weak systems and financial controls, has been formally ordered to clean up its act as part of a confidential pact with the authorities, according to people familiar with the agreement. The private "memorandum of understanding" with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and New York's Department of Financial Services demands that Deutsche Bank overhaul its technology and compliance procedures, and fix what the regulators describe as serious risk-management deficiencies, according to people familiar with the accord. The MOU, which hasn't been previously reported, took effect in 2012 and is still in place, according to the people familiar with the agreement. There's no indication that regulators plan to escalate the MOU with Deutsche Bank or restrict its business activities, and it isn't known how long the agreement will remain in place. However, the New York Fed has set a mid-2015 deadline for Deutsche Bank to correct a list of high-priority issues, people familiar with the matter said. The consequences of missing the deadline aren't known.

Wade Stevenson collection of GN photos, mostly WA State, generously donated to GNRHS Archives by the Milwaukee Road Historical Association. Scanning performed by Stuart Holmquist.
Wade's collection, reportedly numbered at 25,000, was taken over the many years he worked for various railroads from approximately 1940 to the 1980's. By the end of his railroad career he worked for the Milwaukee Road in Othello, WA as a machinist's helper.
According to a 1961 article in "The Milwaukee Road Magazine" published for their employees, Wade had contributed dozens of photos for "Trains", "Railroad Magazine", and a book "Western Trains". He died April 12, 2006, in Othello.
Caboose headed to Moses Lake, WA in 1965 to become part of Monte Holm collection. Now in Cashmere, WA.

Westminster, CA, April 6, 2015 – Advance Beauty College is the top cosmetology and esthetician provider in Orange County. Advance Beauty College has been located in the heart of Little Saigon for over 30 years, near the corner of Brookhurst and Westminster. The school is centrally located and easily accessible from public transportation. Our newly modernized facility features over 9,000 square feet of classrooms, student salon, break room and administrative offices.
Our cosmetology program consists of 1600 hours of study that includes hands on practical training, classroom lectures, field trips and special guest speakers. Students use the Milady Standard Cosmetology textbook and supplementary materials provided by the school. During their training, students use Matrix products, allowing us to incorporate brand knowledge while using quality products that are found in many salons.
All of our cosmetology students attend lecture together and then break out to their appropriate classes (Freshman and Senior). Freshmen students remain in that class until they complete 400 hours. Students then test out of the Freshman class by showing proficiency in required skills. Students in the senior class work in the Student Salon in addition to continuing to practice their skills using doll heads. In the Student Salon, they will get to work on real clients cutting hair, applying hair color, and many other services. Students are always supervised by an experienced instructor who is also a part of the consultation process. Our high volume student salon allows students to practice many different techniques on a wide variety of hair types.
Our top esthetician program in Westminster, consists of 600 hours of training. We are a proud Dermalogica Partnership school. Students train using Dermalogica products and are able to attend special monthly classes held at the International Dermal Institute (IDI). Most students who attend full time complete the program in four to five months. Advance Beauty College also offers part time schedules to allow students to complete their education on a flexible schedule.
In addition to their classroom learning, our cosmetology and esthetician students are able to participate in various events throughout the year. Recently, students were able to work behind the scenes at the Viet Fashion Week fashion show. Students assisted by working on models' hair, makeup and nails. Each designer had specific looks for their models. Students worked on about 100 models. Other events include beauty pageants and charity events such as Working Wardrobes.

This week, Acielle is in New York where she will be snapping one-of-a-kind Fashion Week shots just for you. Before she hits the streets, we asked her to spill her juiciest secrets—from what it's like to shoot Kanye West to how to look great in any photo. Read on!
What's the craziest thing you've ever done to get a shot?
When I shot Kanye West outside a Celine show. He always comes to fashion shows in his black Porsche, so everyone knows it's him. When he arrives, there are so many people around him, so my husband held me up over the barrier of people, paparazzi, and his security so that I could shoot from above.
And what's the most outrageous thing you've seen someone wear to get shot?
Anna Dello Russo is always wearing something outstanding. When people see her, they literally run after her. Some people put on everything they have in the house and it's so crazy it doesn't work for full body images, but you can shoot details of the look—just the shoes or the bag. I'm more interested on inspiring people with what to wear in their daily lives, so I shoot more streamlined outfits. I think peacocking is going down because now people want to see a real interpretation of current trends that they can apply to their daily life.
So, what makes you want to take someone's photo? What can our readers learn from that?
I'm also drawn to a cool combination of pieces and an element of surprise. I recently shot Susie Bubble in a Vetements dress when she put it over jeans and a striped turtleneck and striped socks with her heels. It was a really different combination that caught my eye. Try lots of layers and unexpected silhouettes.
Of all the fashion you've been scouting on the street, which pieces do you think will become trends this season?
I think long, statement sleeves will still be going strong. Trends from the '90s and 2000s are in. And everything has been oversize. I also like the unisex style that's popular, like Vetements hoodies.
Posture is really important. Don't arch your shoulders forward or put your head too low. Susie, for example, is actually hard to photograph sometimes because she looks down often. Confidence is next—I think a smile helps with that. Try to face the light and stand away from any crowds.


Cancellations waste time and cost money. Not to mention they just plain waste your time. But with Bookly's Waiting List add-on, you don't have to lose a thing.
Add your clients to a waiting list on fully-booked days. Should a cancellation arise, you can replace the cancelled appointment instantly.
Get the Waiting List add-on here.
When a time slot opens, a notification is sent to the service provider with the list of customers in line. When the service provider clicks the relevant link next to client's name to approve an appointment, the customer's status will be changed from 'on waiting list' to 'approved'.
So don't let cancellations ruin your day. Maximize your day's efficiency with Bookly's Waiting List add-on.
1. Purchase, download, install and activate add-on in Plugins.
2. In Bookly menu > Appearance > Time tab, make sure that the box next to the 'Show waiting list slots' is checked.
3. To add a customer to the waiting list, first, click on the appointment in Bookly Calendar, or click Edit in the Appointments tab. Next, click on New customer and set his/her status to On waiting list.
Customers are able to join the waiting list on front-end when choosing a time slot for their appointment. Busy time slots are shaded in gray and marked with "(N)", where N is a number of customers on the waiting list.
Notification to staff member to set appointment from waiting list.
Note: if you have both Group booking add-on and Waiting List add-on installed and activated, make sure you've enabled group booking in Settings. Otherwise, capacity value won't be taken into account and clients will be put on the waiting list after the first booking is made.
Try this demo to get a better understanding of how the Waiting List add-on works.

Leucine rich single-pass membrane protein 2 is a single-pass membrane protein rich in leucine, that in humans is encoded by the LSMEM2 gene (also known as c3orf45). The LSMEM2 protein is conserved in mammals, birds, and reptiles. In humans, LSMEM2 is found to be highly expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle and tongue.

Gene
LSMEM2 is also known as c3orf45. It is found at human chromosome loci 3p21 on the plus strand from bases 50,277,907-50,288,116. This gene is 1,434 base pairs long and has four exon regions. Nearby genes include SEMA3B and IFRD2.

mRNA
LSMEM2 has two different isoforms, isoform 1 and 2. These two isoforms encode the same protein. Isoform 2 uses an alternate in-frame splice-site in the 5' coding region in comparison to isoform 1. Isoform 1 is three base pairs and one amino acid longer than isoform 2 at the exon 2 and exon 3 junction.

Protein
The LSMEM2 protein has two isoforms. Isoform 1 has an alanine added after amino acid 57, otherwise the two isoforms are identical. It has a predicted MW of 17.8 kDa and isoelectric point of 5.7 pI. LSMEM2 is predicted to have one transmembrane region which is composed of 50% leucine and considered leucine rich. The N-terminus is predicted to be the cytosolic/intracellular region of the protein, while the C-terminus is predicted as the lumenal/extracellular region. It is found to have one domain, Domain of unknown function 4714 (DUF4714), spanning from amino acid 13 to 161.

Post-translational Modifications
LSMEM2 is predicted to have an acetylation and palmitoylation site near the N-terminus of the protein. It is also predicted to have various phosphorylation and O-GlcNAc sites throughout the predicted intracellular/cytosolic region of the protein. LSMEM2 has a predicted N-glycosylation site at amino acids 155,156, and 157 in the probable extracellular/lumenal region.

Structure
The secondary and tertiary structure of LSMEM2 are currently unknown. The secondary structure is predicted as largely alpha-helices for the transmembrane and lumenal/extracellular region. The cytoplasmic/intracellular region structure still remains relatively unclear. To the right is a predicted tertiary structure of the human LSMEM2 protein by the I-TASSER software.

Homology
Paralogs

LSMEM2 has no known paralogs.

Orthologs

LSMEM2 has 168 orthologs total, 131 of them being mammals, the other orthologs consist of aves and reptiles  The LSMEM2 protein is conserved in mammals with 71.3% chemically-similar sequences. The table below displays features of select orthologs of LSMEM2 of varying evolutionary distance. The predicted transmembrane domain of LSMEM2 is found to be highly conserved in its orthologs.

Evolution
LSMEM2 was found to emerge about 312 million years ago (MYA). It has been found to evolve at an intermediate rate when compared to a quickly evolving protein, Fibronectin, and a slowly evolving protein, Cytochrome C. LSMEM2 is predicted to change 1% every 3.9 million years.

Expression
LSMEM2 is found to be highly expressed in the human heart and skeletal muscle with RNA Sequencing and Microarray data. It is also found to be highly expressed in the heart during human fetal development.

Regulation of Expression
The promoter region for LSMEM2 is predicted by El Dorado to be the 2,328 basepairs directly upstream from the LSMEM2 gene. A notable transcription factor predicted to bind to this promoter is the Brachyury gene, mesoderm developmental factor. This transcription factor is involved in regulating the development of the notochord.

Function
LSMEM2 has been predicted to be involved in Mitochondrial ATP synthesis coupled proton transport. However, the function of LSMEM2 is still not fully understood by the scientific community.

Interacting Proteins
LSMEM2 has been found to potentially interact with MEP1B, DEFA6, CYP3A43, TBC1D29, KLHL23, ZNF551, c5orf24, CWH43, and PDIA2.

Clinical Significance
LSMEM2 was discovered to be down-regulated in the myotubes of patients with FSHD, a form of muscular dystrophy. LSMEM2 was also predicted to be involved in the pathway for sepsis-induced myopathy, although more research is required to determine its exact role

Most of the action in Stow-on-the-Wold centres around the market square – a bustling hub of independent boutiques, local grocers and great places to eat. Here's Culture Trip's guide to the best hotels in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Crestow House

Crestow House features the kind of chic decor that many of us wish we could create in our own homes. From soothing blues, yellows and pinks to the satisfyingly simple furniture, each of the guest rooms feels like a modern haven in a Victorian manor. Given how peaceful it is, you wouldn't believe this boutique hotel is right in the heart of Stow, but so it is – just a few-minute walk from all the shops, pubs and restaurants on the main street. In the summer you can take in the view of the blooming garden from the outdoor pool and in winter you can warm up inside with a drink by the fire of the residents-only bar. There's even a humidor cabinet for those inclined to smoke cigars.
Sheep on Sheep Street

If you're after city sleekness in a country setting, you can't go wrong with the Sheep on Sheep Street – a smartly designed townhouse with plenty of style and character. One of the best spots in town for a Saturday night cocktail, this hotel has a youthful atmosphere and draws a well-heeled dinner crowd. Up in the rooms you'll find a peaceful grey and pink colour scheme and both baths and showers in the en-suite bathrooms. Nespresso machines feature in all rooms, too – perfect for the morning after you've worked your way through the extensive gin menu.

The Porch House

As there's been an inn in one form or another in this spot for over 1,000 years, the Porch House has earned the accolade of the oldest hotel in Britain. It's got all the wonderful touches you'd expect in such a historic building from flagstone floors and wonky door frames to enormous fireplaces. People flock to this Cotswolds icon for its excellent pub food and wide array of local ales and craft beers. If you're planning on staying, you'll find rustic rooms with pretty window seats, old travelling trunks and floor-length curtains. There are, of course, modern touches such as the coffee machines, industrial-style lamps and super-fast wifi.

Old Stocks Inn

With its sloping ceilings, wonky staircases and old wood beams, the Old Stocks Inn has plenty of country charm and there's also a Scandinavian feel to the understated elegance of the teal and white interiors. The hotel's restaurant has won many accolades for its vibrant and seasonal food and the bright, bistro-style setting makes it a pleasure to sit down and sample the extensive menu.

The Stag at Stow

Once two separate establishments, the White Hart Inn and Stag Lodge have merged to become the Stag at Stow – a new boutique hotel and eatery in Stow-on-the-Wold. The makeover is a mixture of Art Deco cool, edgy industrialism and country comfort. The rooms are cosy and luxurious and feature quirky items such as bright yellow working lamps, stag-head wall ornaments and retro Roberts radios. The restaurant is the kind of place you could easily while away the hours – long, antique benches scattered with cushions make comfy seats from which to enjoy the British brasserie-style menu. The relaxed atmosphere makes it perfect for a weekend away with friends.

/**
 * Implements the entropy global term weighting scheme. It has been seen that
 * this weighting scheme can work well with Latent Semantic Analysis
 * (Dumais, 1991).
 *
 * For a term i, the global weight (W(i)) is:
 *     W(i) = 1 - E(i) / log(n)
 *     E(i) = - sum_j (p_ij log(p_ij))
 *     p_ij = tf_ij / gf_i
 *
 * where
 *    n = The total number of documents
 *    gf_i = The total number of times that term i appears
 *    tf_ij = The number of times that term i appears in document j
 *
 * This class uses an optimization for computing E(i):
 *     E(i) = - (sum_j (tf_ij log(tf_ij))) / log(gf_i) + log(gf_i)
 * which allows sum_j (tf_ij log(tf_ij)) to be incrementally computed and then
 * divided by gf_i when needed, instead of needing to compute p_ij each time.

Why protesting the United States national anthem makes absolutely no sense
Photo Credit: The New Yorker
The one thing that still makes no sense about these United States national anthem protests…is why are they United States national anthem protests if they truly mean what the protesters say they mean, including fighting things like racial inequality and social injustice?
If these protesters truly believe in what they are protesting for, by all means they should continue their protests. But there is absolutely no reason for those protests to take place during the national anthem and thus include unbelievable amounts of disrespect toward the people who fought and died to give them the right to not only have a voice but to live the kinds of lives they are living as NFL players and millionaires. There is no reason whatsoever for these protests to be taking place during the national anthem.
These players have time on their hands. If they truly cared about the issues which they believe they are trying to combat, they would set aside time to go out and do something about the issues they feel that they and others are threatened by. Some of them already, which is great. But even at that point…especially at that point…why kneel during a song?
Kneeling for the national anthem will never have the same effect as actually going out and making a difference, and it's certainly not the way to win over the people who these players believe make up the roots of these issues. Kneeling for the national anthem literally changes nothing. Not only does it help anything in any way, shape or form, but it is also extremely disrespectful. It truly makes no sense…unless, of course, the protesters are only out for attention. But that's a whole other story, one I have already covered.

Matthew Perry secretly stayed in hospital for three months after he had surgery to repair a gastrointestinal perforation.
The Friends star, 48, told his 1,180,000 Twitter followers he had spent the last three months in a hospital bed in a tongue-in-cheek tweet, The Daily Mail reports.
"Three months in a hospital bed. Check," he wrote on Twitter.
Gastrointestinal perforation, also known as ruptured bowel, can occur along any point in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. This includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
Symptoms of a ruptured bowel include severe abdominal pain and sometimes requires emergency surgery. Possible causes can include trauma from a knife wound or eating a sharp object. It can lead to sepsis and can be fatal.
The revelation Matthew spent three months in hospital comes after a representative confirmed he was taken to an LA-based hospital for the procedure.
Three months in a hospital bed. Check.

"He is grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals," the statement read.
The actor is an outspoken addiction recovery advocate after struggling with addictions to alcohol and several prescription drugs during his time on Friends.
In 1997, he completed a 28-day program for Vicodin addiction and he later told Larry King that he took the painkiller "mostly just to not drink as much as I was."
In 2001, the actor entered a rehab to recover from his use of Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines, and alcohol.

Project Update: Airports One Step Closer to Receiving Critical Infrastructure Improvements
Last summer, Hoyle Tanner construction managers and resident engineers were in the midst of critical infrastructure projects at three New England airports. One year later, we report that each project's successes are evident as construction is wrapping up.
Runway Rehabilitations & Safety Area Improvements at Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport: A significant portion of the reconstruction of this runway took place during the height of the COVID outbreak in the 2020 summer and fall construction season. Although the runway paving continued uninterrupted, a short shut down was necessary while waiting for the FAA travel restrictions to be lifted so they could complete the necessary navigational equipment removals and installations. Currently, the final stages of this construction are underway including grooving the primary runway and applying final pavement markings to both the runway and associated taxiways.
Rehabilitate Runway 16-34 at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease: The innovative Runway 16-34 construction schedule (developed by Hoyle Tanner in collaboration with numerous stakeholders) was successful in maintaining airport safety, minimizing operational impacts, and producing a rehabilitated nearly two-mile-long runway. In fact, Runway 16-34 was reopened 30 days ahead of schedule and $2.8 million under budget. ACEC-NH also recognized the project with a silver medal for engineering excellence. With the savings realized from the runway reconstruction, the airport is currently reconstructing the remainder of two taxiway pavement areas located beyond the runway safety area.
Terminal Ramp Reconstruction at Burlington International Airport: Last summer's construction focused on removing and replacing nearly 11,500 square yards of the existing Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) apron pavement. Since then, we have completed that work and have moved on to the overnight area portion of the apron. We are using approximately 7,300 square yards of PCC to replace the 20-year-old existing apron pavement. This will complete the replacement of all concrete apron around the terminal building. The next stage of this project, which is scheduled for summer 2022, will include constructing an underground retention pond with a sand filter.


Growth Consulting & Cloud StrategiesGrow like a business twice your size!
You know your business, and you know what needs to be done to move forward. If you're like most business owners, it's the logistics, the struggle to prioritize, and the lack of resources that are holding you back.
When you bring in a third party consultant, you get a clear view of your business, unclouded by personal passion, attachment to past efforts, or process blindness. When you hire a consultant who's also a financial expert, you get someone who's not afraid to talk money—which, let's face it, is the true heart of the matter.
You have a big idea. But can you clearly communicate how it's different? Do you understand the true costs of your vision and the profitability you'd need to create a sustainable company?
If you want to gauge how you're doing: we offer free evaluations for startups. These are confidential, no-strings conversations where we'll discuss your business ideas, your progress so far, and your next steps.
We'll help review your financial plan, make business recommendations, and connect you with the resources you need to keep marching forward (and in the right direction).
If you're thinking about bringing in a consultant, it makes sense to hire someone who knows money. Because when you make more, you can do more.
There's so much great tech out there that could be game changing for your business—but who has time to research it all, cherry-pick the right solutions for you, and figure out how to integrate them into your current platform?
Geeks like us, that's who. We thrive on finding smart, creative ways to drive business growth far beyond owners' expectations. We'll start by learning all about your current processes and goals, keeping an eye out for anything that's weighing you down. Then, we'll select, set up, and customize the best apps on the market to jumpstart your business.

Picture this. You and your friends are traveling along a dirt road on a nice, crisp day as the rays of the sun shine down on you. The vehicle you're driving is plenty spacious and can easily adapt to the conditions around you. What is it?
It's the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport—an SUV with the kind of power and versatility any driver would crave along with a classic look. If you're interested in learning more, check out this Bronco Sport review from Friendly Ford of Hamilton for residents of Hamilton, Madison, and Morrisville, NY.
How Much Power Do You Want?
The 2022 Ford Bronco Sport pushes its limits to the max in many ways. It starts under its hood, with two powerful engines. The base engine is a 1.5-liter monster that can move faster than 181 horses, while simultaneously producing 190 lb-ft of torque. For those who are aiming higher, you can opt for a 2-liter engine that produces 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.
Do you plan on hauling extra cargo with your SUV? When fully equipped, the Ford Bronco Sport can take up to 2,200 pounds with it, which is enough to safely carry small trailers, bikes, and more.
Go Anywhere, Anytime
There is no shortage of options of places to go and sights to see when you're riding around in the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. Standard in this rugged set of wheels is 4×4 capability that'll let you conquer just about anything, especially with 8.8 inches of ground clearance and 23.6 inches of water fording ability. When you pair it with the available Trail Control™, you'll always be in command.
Trust us when we say that the fun doesn't stop there. The 2022 Bronco Sport also has a Terrain Management System™, with five standard G.O.A.T Modes™—and we're not talking about athletes—which include Sand, Slippery, Sport, Eco, and Normal. Two more modes, Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl, come standard on the Badlands trim.
Versatile Interior
No adventure is complete without a comfortable, spacious, and technologically advanced interior, which is exactly what the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport offers. Whether you opt for cloth or leather seating, the Bronco Sport can fit up to five people comfortably. If you're traveling lighter, though, you can fold down the second-row seats to create 65.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
Storage is also plentiful in this SUV. In the Badlands trim, you can store extra items under the rear passenger-side seat. The pockets behind the front-row seats are bigger and more secure than ever. What's more, as part of the available Cargo Management System, you can use the foldout camp table to organize your equipment.
What's an interior without technology? The Ford Bronco Sport helps you stay connected no matter where you are, with standard Bluetooth®, Apple Carplay®, and Android Auto™ capabilities, all of which can be displayed on an 8-inch touchscreen. For a big-time adrenaline rush, you'll love the available 10-speaker system from Bang & Olufsen®, which will let you play your music as loud as you want.
Are You Ready for Amazing Adventures in the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport?
The Ford Bronco Sport is one of the most versatile SUVs you can find—and for good reason. Its powertrain options, on and off-road capabilities, and versatile interior are second to none.
At Friendly Ford of Hamilton, we have the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport in stock. We can't wait to help our friends and family in Hamilton, Madison, and Morrisville, New York, get behind the wheel.
