When the zombie apocalypse hits and the dead begin to rise, Jonah and his friends are on a class field trip downtown. Panicked, they make a split-second decision to seek shelter in the Overlook, an apartment complex built like a fortress on the edge of town. But as they begin to face the realities of what it will take to survive, they realize that while making the decision of where to run was easy, living out the consequences of that decision may be impossible. From Carrie Ryan, the New York Times bestselling author of the Forest of Hands and Teeth books, What Once We Feared is an original digital short story about facing a world that is forever changed and in which survival means more than merely escaping the undead.

The world is gone, destroyed by human, ecological, or supernatural causes. Survivors dodge chemical warfare and cruel gods; they travel the reaches of space and inhabit underground caverns. Their enemies are disease, corrupt corporations, and one another; their resources are few and their courage is tested. Powerful original dystopian tales from nine bestselling authors offer bleak insight, prophetic visions, and precious glimmers of light among the shards and ashes of a ruined world.

No hay lugar seguro para Mary. Su aldea está pobremente protegida del bosque que la rodea... donde habitan los Condenados, zombis hambrientos. En el mundo de Mary hay algunas verdades incuestionables: La Hermandad sabe más que nadie. Los Guardianes protegen y sirven. Los Condenados no se rinden nunca. Y hay que tener mucho cuidado con la alambrada que rodea el pueblo, la alambrada que protege a sus habitantes de los Condenados, zombies hambrientos que habitan en el bosque. Sin embargo, poco a poco estas verdades dejan de convencer a Mary. Aprende cosas que habría preferido no saber nunca sobre la Hermandad y sus secretos, y sobre los Guardianes y su poder. Y, cuando se rompe la alambrada y su mundo se ve sumido en el caos, aprende cómo son los Condenados y hasta dónde llega su avidez insaciable. Ahora tiene que elegir entre su aldea y su futuro, entre la persona a quien ama y la persona que la ama. Y debe enfrentarse a la verdad sobre el Bosque. ¿Es posible que exista vida más allá de un mundo rodeado de tanta muerte?

Het dorp waar Mary (17, ik-figuur) woont, is omringd door hekken waarachter zombies wonen. Als het hek kapot gaat, moet Mary kiezen tussen haar dorp en de toekomst. Vanaf ca. 15 jaar.

Alone and listening to the moaning of the Dark City dying around her, Annah wants to find her way back home, to her sister and family and their village in the Forest of Hands and Teeth.

CD1d is a cell surface glycolipid that, like Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I and MHC class II molecules, presents antigen. However, instead of peptides, CD1d presents lipids to Natural Killer (NK) T cells, a subset of T cells that express both NK cell markers and the T cell receptor and produces both T helper (Th) 1 and Th2 cytokines. Our lab focuses on the regulation CD1d-mediated antigen presentation. TGF beta is a known regulator of the immune system, such as controlling MHC class II antigen presentation. Further, TGF beta can activate the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38, a known negative regulator of CD1d-mediated antigen presentation. Therefore, we hypothesized that TGF beta would be a negative regulator of CD1d-mediated antigen presentation, and our results showed a decrease in antigen presentation by CD1d in response to TGF beta treatment. However, this inhibition was not through p38 activation, as indicated by the absence of a rescue of CD1d-mediated antigen presentation in, TGF beta-treated, p38 dominant negative-expressing cells. Alternatively, the Smad pathway, the canonical pathway activated by TGF beta, was investigated through a lentivirus shRNA-mediated knockdown of Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 proteins. Smad2 shRNA-expressing cells showed in an increase in CD1d-mediated antigen presentation, suggesting an inhibitory role for Smad2. In contrast, Smad3 shRNA-expressing cells did not differ from control cells. However, as in the case of Smad2, CD1d+ cells in which Smad4 was knocked down, were substantially better at CD1d-mediated antigen presentation than control cells, suggesting that it also negatively regulates antigen presentation. Overall, these studies demonstrate that the canonical TGF beta/Smad pathway regulates an important part of the host''s innate immune response, vis-à-vis CD1d-mediated antigen presentation.

A companion to "The Forest of Hands and Teeth." Gabry lives a quiet life--as safe as is possible in a world teeming with the dead. During one reckless moment, half of Gabry''s generation is dead, the other half imprisoned, and Gabry must save herself and the one she loves.

Through twists and turns of fate, orphaned Mary seeks knowledge of life, love, and especially what lies beyond her walled village and the surrounding forest, where dwell the Unconsecrated, aggressive flesh-eating people who were once dead.

In Mary''s world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power. And, when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. Now, she must choose between her village and her future, between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death?

Despite its typical responsiveness to technological advances, copyright law has not kept pace with the emergence of the director as the primary player in American theater, leaving the contributions of this essential, creative artist without recognition or protection. Because work must be original, authored, and fixed to warrant copyright protection, critics cite the lack of fixation in live theater as a fatal obstacle to protection. This Note contends that stage direction is not only original and authored, but that contemporary legislative and judicial dilution of the fixation requirement has led to a doctrinal framework flexible enough to render stage direction copyrightable as a derivative work. This Note first traces the history and purpose of the Copyright Act and its requirement that work be "fixed in any tangible medium of expression." It then explores the relationship between copyright law and theater directing. Finally, this Note considers solutions to the issue of the intellectual property rights of stage directors and argues that, given the lack of robustness in the fixation doctrine, the staging of a play is sufficiently fixable to warrant protection under the Copyright Act.
