Researchers from the University of Southern California have discovered that a drug currently being developed to treat stroke patients could also prevent Alzheimer’s disease. The study, which will be published January 15 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, shows that the genetically engineered protein 3K3A-APC prot... |
“Because of its neuroprotective, vasculoprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities in multiple models of neurological disorders, we investigated whether 3K3A-APC can also protect the brain from the toxic effects of amyloid-beta toxin in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease,” says Berislav V. Zlokovic, Director of the... |
Toxic amyloid-beta peptides accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, leading to neurodegeneration and reduced blood flow within the brain. Zlokovic and colleagues found that 3K3A-APC significantly reduced the accumulation of amyloid-beta in the brains of mice that usually produce large amounts of the toxic pep... |
Zlokovic and colleagues found that 3K3A-APC protects the brain by preventing nerve cells from producing an enzyme called BACE1 that is required to produce amyloid-beta. Several different inhibitors of BACE1 have been tested in clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease, but the new study suggests that using 3K3A-APC to bl... |
“Our present data support the idea that 3K3A-APC holds potential as an effective anti-amyloid-beta therapy for early stage Alzheimer’s disease in humans,” Zlokovic says. |

How to make replayer look like actual tables? |
Hi can you please give me instructions on how to accomplish this? I looked in the manual but there was nothing there and a search on this site came up empty for me... Thanks! |
I'm sorry I should have been more clear. It says I can skin the replayer to look exactly like my tables. I use Mercury theme on stars and it only has Nova and Grinder as options. |
Unfortunately, there are no more skins at the moment. Our development department has now a lot of much more important tasks. But as soon as the new themes appear, they will be immediately added to the list. |
OK, TY! The wording in the manual made it seem like you could skin them yourself which was why I was asking. |
Thanks for replying to all my questions. Much appreciated. |

RAINSVILLE, Ala. — Two Fyffe High School students have organized a large Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) rally for all students in the county, as well as anyone else who wants to attend. “Illuminate for Christ,” will be held at the DeKalb County Schools Coliseum on Saturday, April 1 (next week) at 6 pm. |
The event will feature several different speakers, as well as dramas and music from local performers. |
Crimson Long, who’s the leader of the Fyffe High School FCA program, in which he has been involved for two years, explained what gave him the idea for this event. |
“I had a dream back last year, that I believe that God put it in my head from the start. In the dream, I saw a revival breaking out at my school,” explained Long. |
At the very end of school last year, Crimson organized a group together for about an hour at a location near the school. |
“It sparked a new idea and a new dream to save the people in our county, and start a wildfire in our county, and get all the schools involved. My dream is for Sand Mountain to be a fortress for God, and revival to break out,” he explained. |
Phillip Dendy, Seth Stone, Chad Hancock, and the events organizer, Crimson, will be speaking at the event. Fort Payne’s John Mark will be providing musical entertainment. Dramas will also be performed by Antioch Baptist Church and Pleasant View. |
“His idea is to unite all the rival schools together for Christ and bring everyone together in unity,” explained Hull. |
“There is so much hate and evil in the world, and the only way we can counteract that, is to replace it with the love of christ and shine our light for God,” she added. |
The nGager system will be inaccessible during the following period due to scheduled maintenance. |
We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you. |

"The intention was to confer the privilege of citizenship upon that class of persons whom the fathers knew as white, and to deny it to all who could not be so classified." |
T akao Ozawa was born in Japan, moved to the territory of Hawaii, and later lived in California. Altogether he had lived in the United States continuously for twenty years when he applied in 1914 for naturalization, the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. At the time, he had graduated from high school in Berkeley, Cali... |
1894, as Japan was emerging as a strong military and industrial power in Asia, a treaty with the United States had guaranteed free immigration to the United States for Japanese. But six years later, in the midst of strong opposition to Japanese immigrants among European Americans in California, Japan agreed not to issu... |
In 1907, the San Francisco Board of Education decided to segregate its Asian students. All Asian students, including Japanese students, were to be placed in a single "Asian school" that kept the students apart from "white" European American students. Seeing Japanese the objects of discrimination upset the government of... |
To cool the diplomatic tensions with Japan created by the school board in San Francisco, Roosevelt persuaded the school board to drop its segregation plan in exchange for promises that the federal government would try to solve the issue of Japanese immigration. The result was the "Gentleman's Agreement" (an agreement t... |
The San Francisco school board incident demonstrated how U.S. immigration laws and attitudes affected American diplomatic policies unrelated to immigration. The incident also served as a reminder of the long-standing controversy in California over the admission of people from Asia, whether Japanese or Chinese, and the ... |
With many Americans displeased with immigration from Asia (and also from southern and eastern Europe), the U.S. district attorney (prosecutor) had objected when Ozawa applied for citizenship. The government, in its arguments to the Supreme Court, admitted that Ozawa would make a good citizen: He was well educated; his ... |
Ozawa's lawyers cited inconsistencies in the way that U.S. immigration laws had been written. They argued that when Congress passed a new naturalization law in 1906, it intended to overhaul the immigration law completely. Since the 1906 law had not specifically barred citizenship for Japanese people (as other laws spec... |
The Supreme Court also ruled on two other questions raised in the case: first, whether someone from Japan could be considered "white" under the law; and second, whether Ozawa could be barred from becoming a citizen because of race. |
On the first question, Ozawa's lawyers had argued that the original immigration laws referred to "free white persons" in order to distinguish them from enslaved Africans, or "black," people. The lawyers tried to persuade the court that "white" meant "not black," and that the phrase was not intended to exclude Asians. T... |
On the second question, the court ruled that Congress did have the power under the Constitution to determine the basis on which immigrants could become citizens, even if the basis was a concept as vague as race. |
The Ozawa decision was significant in the history of immigration to the United States because it reconfirmed the importance of race when deciding whether immigrants should be allowed to become citizens—a standard for eligibility that had existed since the very beginnings of the United States as an independent country. ... |
The Ozawa case came before the court at a time when the United States had already begun to restrict immigrants, especially those from southern and eastern Europe. For the forty years preceding the case, a higher number of Europeans than ever before had come to the United States, including many from poor areas of southe... |
The concept of race has always been vague, as the court's opinion admits. What race is the child of a black mother and a white father, for example? The court's opinion brushes aside this fundamental issue by saying that such questions fall into a "zone of more or less debatable ground." But since Ozawa had been born in... |
The court's opinion carefully examined minute details of previous immigration laws in an effort to understand what Congress intended to do. On the subject of what constitutes a "white" person, the opinion in essence says the court did not have time to study the issue from a scientific basis. The court ruled that anyone... |
The act of June 29, 1906, entitled "An act to establish a Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization, and to provide for a uniform rule for the naturalization of aliens throughout the United States," consists of 31 sections and deals primarily with the subject of procedure. There is nothing in the circumstances leading u... |
"It is the opinion of your committee that the frauds and crimes which have been committed in regard to naturalization have resulted more from a lack of any uniform system of procedure in such matters than from any radical defect in the fundamental principles of existing law governing in such matters. The two changes wh... |
This seems to make it quite clear that no change of the fundamental character here involved was in mind…. |
"Any alien being a free white person … may be admitted to become a citizen…." 1 Stat. 103, c. 3. |
This was subsequently enlarged to include aliens of African nativity and persons of African descent…. |
In all of the naturalization acts from 1790 to 1906 the privilege of naturalization was confined to white persons (with the addition in 1870 of those of African nativity and descent), although the exact wording of the various statutes was not always the same. If Congress in 1906 desired to alter a rule so well and so l... |
It is the duty of this Court to give effect to the intent of Congress. Primarily this intent is ascertained by giving the words their natural significance, but if this leads to an unreasonable result plainly at variance with the policy of the legislation as a whole, we must examine the matter further. We may then look ... |
Antecedent: Referring to a preceding event, condition, or cause. |
Literal: Referring to accepting the exact meaning of the words of a statement or opinion and allowing no further interpretation. |
Section 2169: A sentence in the naturalization law that said naturalization "shall apply to aliens, being free white persons and to aliens of African nativity and to persons of African descent." Ozama's lawyers argued that because this sentence did not explicitly ban Japanese from becoming naturalized citizens, Congres... |
Second. This brings us to inquire whether, under section 2169, the appellant is eligible to naturalization. The language of the naturalization laws from 1790 to 1870 had been uniformly such as to deny the privilege of naturalization to an alien unless he came within the description "free white person. By section 7 of t... |
Appellant: A person bringing a lawsuit from a lower court to a higher court for a new hearing. |
On behalf of the appellant it is urged that we should give to this phrase the meaning which it had in the minds of its original framers in 1790 and that it was employed by them for the sole purpose of excluding the black or African race and the Indians then inhabiting this country. It may be true that those two races w... |
Affirmative form: The structure of a phrase denoting assent or agreement. |
