ABC Primetime
Nathan Fillion talks about season 3's dramatic finale of 'The Rookie' on ABC
Jennifer Matarese interviews Nathan Fillion about "The Rookie's" season 3 finale on ABC.
NEW YORK -- Season three of ABC's "The Rookie" is coming to a dramatic ending that fans won't see coming, at least according to its star.
Nathan Fillion, who plays Officer John Nolan, says that the bitter drug cartel involving La Fiera has been getting deeper and more serious as lines have been crossed and people have been killed.
"I don't think it's going to end the way people think it's going to end," Fillion said. "The stakes have been very high; the stakes are going to go up from there."
Also, Emily Deschanel of "Bones" is playing John's ex-wife Sarah in a guest-starring role.
"Back when we were doing our respective shows, 'Castle' and 'Bones,' Emily and I presented an award together, I want to say the Emmys, what a lovely, lovely, lady, what an incredibly talented actress. I'd been looking forward to working with her for years and we finally got to do it and in a role where we will more than likely get to see her again," Fillion said. "I can't tell you how excited I am."
This season of "The Rookie" was 14 episodes instead of 20 like in seasons 1 and 2 due to the pandemic, but Fillion says it was packed with plenty of story.
"People come first, the show comes next, and that allowed us to be safe enough to work through a pandemic, I'm not going to lie to you, it was scary, it was scary for all of us," Fillion said. "Tedious protocols and frequent testing, people taking care of each other allowed us to pull out 14 episodes and it could have been 10."
Fillion says he's hoping to bring more action and drama to season 4 of the show, but time will tell.
You can watch the season 3 finale of "The Rookie" on Sunday, May 16 at 10 p.m. EDT.

Immunopathogenesis
Inflammatory diseases
T-helper 17 cells
Interleukin (IL)-17-producing T helper cells (TH17) are a recently identified CD4+ T cell subset distinct from T helper type 1 (TH1) and T helper type 2 (TH2) cells1. TH17 cells can drive antigen-specific autoimmune diseases and are considered the main population of pathogenic T cells driving experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)2, the mouse model for multiple sclerosis. The factors that are needed for the generation of TH17 cells have been well characterized3,4,5,6. However, where and how the immune system controls TH17 cells in vivo remains unclear. Here, by using a model of tolerance induced by CD3-specific antibody, a model of sepsis and influenza A viral infection (H1N1), we show that pro-inflammatory TH17 cells can be redirected to and controlled in the small intestine. TH17-specific IL-17A secretion induced expression of the chemokine CCL20 in the small intestine, facilitating the migration of these cells specifically to the small intestine via the CCR6/CCL20 axis. Moreover, we found that TH17 cells are controlled by two different mechanisms in the small intestine: first, they are eliminated via the intestinal lumen; second, pro-inflammatory TH17 cells simultaneously acquire a regulatory phenotype with in vitro and in vivo immune-suppressive properties (rTH17). These results identify mechanisms limiting TH17 cell pathogenicity and implicate the gastrointestinal tract as a site for control of TH17 cells.

Editorial Summary
Keeping TH17 cells under wraps
Interleukin-17-producing T helper (TH17) cells serve an important role in the immune system, but are strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. How the immune system controls TH17 cells in vivo remains unclear. Using mice in which tolerance was induced by CD3-specific antibody, a model of sepsis and influenza A viral infection, Esplugues et al. demonstrate that TH17 cells are kept in check by redirecting the cells to the small intestine where they are eliminated or re-programmed to acquire immunosuppressive and regulatory properties. This work identifies the gastrointestinal tract as a site for control of TH17 cells.


Autopsy - Severed Survival
Available On LP
LP - £21.99 GBP
Severed Survival is the debut album by Autopsy released in 1989. This album somewhat continues in the style of Reifert's former band Death. Lyrically the band thrives heavily on horror, death and gore concepts; nevertheless these are not inspired directly by horror movies, although the title track is based on Stephen King's short story "Survivor Type." The album was very influential for future death metal acts such as Cannibal Corpse, Entombed, and Dismember. It was also a pioneer of gore lyrics. The album features Steve DiGiorgio on bass.


U-M programming team competes at highest level in ACM-ICPC competition
The Victors, a U-M student programming team, competed in the prestigious 2018 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals in Beijing, China.
L-R: Nathan Fenner, Lawrence (Larry) Wu, Aman Karunakaran, and Prof. Kevin Compton
The Victors, a U-M student programming team, competed in the 2018 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals in Beijing, China, on April 15 – 20, 2018.
The ACM-ICPC is the largest and most prestigious computer programming competition in the world. The competition pits teams of three university students against eight or more complex, real-world problems, with a grueling five-hour deadline. Huddled around a single computer, competitors race against the clock in a battle of logic, strategy, and mental endurance.
The U-M team, including Nathan Fenner, Aman Karunakaran, and Lawrence (Larry) Wu, placed 56th out of the 120 teams that advanced to the world finals. Over 46,000 students worldwide had competed in regional competition for the honor of participating in the world finals.
To reach the world finals, the Victors competed in the 2017 ACM East Central North America Regional Programming Contest, where they placed fourth out of the 140 teams that participated.
During the world finals, the teammates collaborated to rank the difficulty of the problems, deduced the requirements, designed test beds, and built software systems that solve the problems under the intense scrutiny of expert judges. The Victors were able to solve four out of nine problems correctly.
The U-M programming team was coached by longtime programming team coach Prof. Compton. Assistant coaches were CSE graduate student Yujie An (who was on UM teams that advanced to World Finals in 2014 and 2015) and U-M alumnus Dennis Matveyev, who has assisted with training for many years.

Based on a graphic novel by the same name, this 180-minute film features some seriously intense sex scenes and stellar acting—particularly from newbie Exarchopoulos. Catch Blue Is The Warmest Color on Netflix.
Another noteworthy French coming-of-age film, Girlhoodstars Karidja Touré and follows a narrative of a young girl growing up in a banlieue—an economically depressed neighborhood that borders Paris and is home to a diverse population. Directed by Céline Sciamma, the film’s intent was to tell a story about young black girls growing up in this part of the world—a narrative that has largely been left out of French filmmaking traditions. Girlhoodis streaming on Netflix.

Tensions in South Sudan: Peaceful Solution or Inevitable Conflict?
Posted on June 19, 2013 August 6, 2013 Author Chris EdwardsComments Off on Tensions in South Sudan: Peaceful Solution or Inevitable Conflict?
Relations between Sudan and neighbouring South Sudan have historically been less than amiable. However, recent tensions over the funding of rebel groups in both countries are steadily bringing the two countries closer to larger conflict than at any time since South Sudan’s independence in 2011. As a response to purported South Sudanese support of rebels operating within their territory, on June 9th Sudan declared that it would close all oil pipelines flowing north from South Sudan to export markets within 60 days. If implemented, this move would have devastating effects on the South Sudanese economy, which derives over 90% of its government revenue through its oil exports. In the wake of this threat, South Sudanese President Silva Kiir called the move a “declaration of war”, and rebuffed the accusation of his government’s support for the rebels in Sudan.
Map of oil pipelines in Sudan prior to the South's independence. The dotted green line is now the border between Sudan and South Sudan.
Ultimately, the ongoing dispute between Sudan and its southern counterpart rests on three issues: oil, land, and internal security. South Sudan’s independence in 2011 deprived Sudan of a majority of its oil deposits, but at the same time, the oil infrastructure that had been built only supported the flow of oil north to refineries and ports in northern Sudan. While South Sudan controls the majority of the oil, it has no other choice but to ship it through Sudan in order to sell it. The two countries are also still in an ongoing dispute over three border regions; the Blue Nile Province, the Nuba Mountains, and the Abyei region. Finally, while Sudan is currently accusing South Sudan of aiding anti-government forces in its own territory, in the past South Sudan has also accused its neighbour of aiding anti-government rebels in its territory.
While these recent developments may make it clear that conflict between the two states is imminent, it should be noted that the secession process in 2011, which was the largest opportunity for Khartoum to block such a large loss of territory and wealth, occurred largely without incident. Conflict between the two states, despite having previously fought one of Africa’s longest civil wars, is still not inevitable. The two countries are still greatly dependent upon one another economically, mainly through the export of oil. The proposed blocking of all Southern oil exports, while potentially devastating to the government revenue of South Sudan, would damage the Northern economy as well. Neither government can truly afford for such a ban to go on indefinitely.
In 2011, Sudan and South Sudan came to a broad set of agreements meant to alleviate tensions and foster development. Known as the Cooperation Agreements, the nine-point plan established rules such as a demilitarized zone at the border, agreements on oil revenues, financial assistance, and a ban on supporting rebels within each other’s territory. Alongside accusing the South of supporting anti-Khartoum rebels, Sudan has unilaterally revoked these agreements along with its oil ban. In terms of moving closer to war, it is the former move that is more dangerous, because it deprives the two countries of the progress they have made in resolving their longstanding issues. Its cancellation, if not undone, is a serious regression in the peace process. For its part, South Sudan is arguing that these accusations and subsequent responses by Sudan are purely political, aimed at damaging their economy to allow more leverage in future negotiations.
The two countries are still linked through their dependence on oil exports, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. South Sudan has been in negotiations with Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda to build a new pipeline that travels south through Kenya to the Indian Ocean, which would in time free its hand to trade with other neighbours. While on the one hand, this will allow South Sudan to avoid potential conflict with Sudan over oil exports in the future, it may also further destabilize their relationship because Sudan will be wary of losing their bargaining chip as the only means of exporting South Sudanese oil. If war is to be avoided, the Cooperation Agreements must be reinstated and accusations of rebel support need to be verified by an independent body, such as the African Union. As long as the two countries have the ability to use these threats as a rationale for larger, more dangerous actions, then larger conflict will remain a possibility.
