Andy Clark and his company, All Aboard Properties, are long-time developers and one of the largest owners of self-storage facilities in east central Florida. His path to success, however, was fraught with some tribulations. An aviation enthusiast from an early age, Andy spent many hours soaring through the skies. Unfortunately, what goes up, must sometimes come down. Such was the case on Memorial Day Monday, 2009 when the twin-piston Aero Commander that he was piloting stalled and plummeted into the ground, just short of the runway. The crash would cost him his father''s life and thrust him into a long battle of survival and physical recovery. The simultaneous real estate crash and world-wide recession would force Andy into a financial fight that would determine his family''s long, successful legacy. This true story of survival is inspirational on many levels. Whether you''re an aviation aficionado, a real estate developer, investor, business owner, a parent or a spouse, you''ll marvel at Andy''s staying-power and determination to triumph in the face of adversity and survive not one, but two, life-altering crashes.

We show that a popular class of connectionist models (which we label ''first order connectionism'') looks unlikely to provide the kind of resources required by the hypothesis. We examine some alternative hybrid models that seem more promising. Finally, we raise a more purely philosophical issue concerning the conditions under which a being can count as a genuine believer or cognizer."

Bone formation by osteoblasts (OBs) and bone resorption by osteoclasts (OCLs) is a tightly coupled and balanced process. In chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), this balance is disturbed and OCL activity exceeds that of OBs, leading to net bone loss or osteoporosis. Glucocorticoids (GC) are frequently used in treatment of inflammatory diseases. However, the long term use of GCs can lead to the development of GC-induced osteoporosis (GIO). The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway is critical for the expression of many pro-inflammatory genes such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF). It is also involved in the differentiation and activation of OCLs. Termination of p38 MAPK signalling is partly dependent on dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1). DUSP1 expression is up-regulated by pro-inflammatory stimuli, providing a negative feedback loop to limit the inflammatory response. It is also up-regulated by GCs, and contributes to their anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the role of DUSP1 in two forms of bone loss. To test the hypothesis that induction of DUSP1 contribute to GIO, the bone phenotype of a Dusp1-/- mouse strain was first characterised, then the responses of bone to chronic GC administration were investigated. The involvement of DUSP1 in inflammatory bone loss was next examined using in vitro assays of OCL function, and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an experimental model of RA. Dusp1-/- OCLs displayed enhanced responses to pro-inflammatory stimuli in vitro. Furthermore, Dusp1-/- mice showed more rapid development and more severe arthritis and responses to GC were decreased compared to controls. The exacerbated disease in Dusp1-/- mice was accompanied by increased inflammatory infiltration, activation of OCLs and articular bone ersoion. There was also evidence of increased expression of interleukin 17 (IL-17), a cytokine that has been implicated in inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. These observations highlight a role of DUSP1 as an important negative regulator of inflammatory osteolysis and as a mediator of therapeutic effects of GCs in CIA.
