James Stephens
No full textJames StephensIrish writer. His date of birth is uncertain, but probably not the 1882 which JJ believed. Raised in an orphanage, his early published writing began with pieces in the journal Sinn Féin. He became a prolific author, making a name with fiction (notably The Crock of Gold, 1912) but also publishing poetry and Irish history and culture. In 1925 he moved to London, and in the 1930s Stephens gave radio broadcasts for the BBC on assorted literary topics. While Stephens initially disdained JJ's writing, JJ developed a fascination with Stephens in 1927, believing that they shared a birthday, and at one point suggested to Stephens that he should finish the then-languishing "Work in Progress" (noted first in JJ's letter of 20 May 1927 to Harriet Shaw Weaver, LI 253-54). Fortunately this did not come to pass. Nevertheless, they became friends, corresponding and visiting from time to time. JJ translated Stephens's poem "Stephen's Green" into at least five languages.

Correspondence regarding the construction of a museum
No full textThis 1945 correspondence, from Thurman Leatherwood to George M. Stephens, discusses the construction of a museum in Swain County, North Carolina. The letter is among the Horace Kephart papers. Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author and promoter of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.|<?4-5"

Asheville, N. G.
Dear Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Stupka, of the Park Service, x'jas here a few days
ago to see about the Kephart property.
As I understand they plan to construct a museum in Swain
County as soon as possible after the war and would like to
place the property in the museum. This would be a fine thing
and I believe would meet the approval of all Mr. Kephart!s
friends. In the meantime, however, until the museum is constructed, I think it ?jould be well for us to hold the property.
I have talked with Mr. Kelly Bennett, who is a member of the
Kephart committee, and this, of course, meets with his approval,
Yours truly,
Sgd. Thurman Leatherwood.

The hexosamine biosynthesis pathway and O-GlcNAcylation maintain insulin-stimulated PI3K-PKB phosphorylation and tumour cell growth after short-term glucose deprivation
No full textGlucose provides an essential nutrient source that supports glycolysis and the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) to maintain tumour cell growth and survival. Here we investigated if short-term glucose deprivation specifically modulates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/PKB) cell survival pathway. Insulin-stimulated PKB activation was strongly abrogated in the absence of extracellular glucose as a consequence of the loss of insulin-stimulated PI3K activation and short-term glucose deprivation inhibited subsequent tumour cell growth. Loss of insulin-stimulated PKB signalling and cell growth was rescued by extracellular glucosamine and increased flux through the HBP. Disruption of O-GlcNAc transferase activity, a terminal step in the HBP, implicated O-GlcNAcylation in PKB signalling and cell growth. Glycogenolysis is known to support cell survival during glucose deprivation, and in A549 lung cancer cells its inhibition attenuates PKB activation which is rescued by increased flux through the HBP. Our studies show that rerouting of glycolytic metabolites to the HBP under glucose-restricted conditions maintains PI3K/PKB signalling enabling cell survival and proliferation
Tamed and untamed political emotions
No full textThe complex entanglement between reason and emotion is evident in all political debate. In public discourse the idea that politics is concerned only with the reasoned exchange of dispassionate arguments is maintained by marginalising less rational human feelings and in viewing passions as politically dangerous.
Over the last decade, social and cultural theory has challenged the liberal notion that emotions have no place in the public sphere. So what place do the emotions have in politics, asks Julie Stephens as she discusses three books on the theme in the Australian Review of Public Affairs.

Nate Stephens Earns Two Best Paper Awards
No full textIt is a rare thing for an author to win a best paper award for his or her published research. It is even more unusual, however, for an author to win two of those awards in the same year. Yet Nate Stephens, assistant professor of accounting, has done just that for research published in the Accounting Horizons and Issues in Accounting Education journals.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/huntsman_news/1045/thumbnail.jp
