The biological functions of the acute- phase protein haptoglobin (Hp) may be related to its ability to bind hemoglobin (Hb) or to modulate immune response. Hp is expressed at a high level in lung cells, yet its protective role(s) in the lung is not known. With the use of transgenic mice overexpressing Hp in alveolar macrophages, we demonstrated that Hp diminished Hb-induced lung injury when the lung was exposed to whole blood. In transgenic mouse lungs, Hb was more efficiently removed, and the induction of stress- responsive heme oxygenase-1 gene was significantly lower when compared with wild-type mice. At 24 h after blood treatment, the ferritin level that serves as an index for intracellular iron content was also lower in alveolar macrophages in transgenic mice than in wild-type mice. We propose that an Hp-mediated Hb catabolism process exists in alveolar macrophages. This process is likely coupled to an iron mobilization pathway and may be an efficient mechanism to reduce oxidative damage associated with hemolysis.

extravasation of erythrocytes into the lower respiratory tract occurs in numerous lung injuries, including chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, tuberculosis, traumatic injury, and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. After hemolysis, the catalytic iron present in hemoglobin (Hb) can induce the formation of reactive oxygen species and lead to oxidative damage in lung tissues. Both free Hb and erythrocytes have been shown to induce lung injury in experimental animal models (3, 14).
Haptoglobin (Hp), an α2-acid glycoprotein, has long been known as the major Hb-binding protein associated with Hb catabolism. It is produced mainly by the liver and secreted into the circulation. As a major positive acute-phase reactant, Hp increases in plasma during inflammation, infection, trauma, tissue damage, and malignancy. In patients with severe hemolysis, on the other hand, Hp decreases in plasma to a nondetectable level with the formation of Hp-Hb complexes. The Hb scavenger receptor CD163 has recently been identified to mediate endocytosis of Hp-Hb complexes by monocytes/macrophages (17).
In our previous studies, we identified the lung as a major site of extrahepatic synthesis of Hp. Hp gene expression can be detected in airway epithelial cells in mice and baboons and in alveolar macrophages and eosinophils in humans (22, 23). As in the liver, expression of Hp gene in the lung increases severalfold upon exposure to inflammatory stimuli and during some diseased states, suggesting protective roles of Hp in lung tissues. To understand the functions of Hp in the lung, we produced transgenic mice that express the human Hp gene at high levels in several tissues, including lung. The cell type-specific expression of human Hp gene is maintained in the transgenic mice. Although the endogenous mouse Hp gene is expressed in airway epithelial cells, the human Hp transgene is expressed in alveolar macrophages in these mice (23). In this paper, we have used these transgenic mice to investigate the protective effects of Hp against blood-induced lung injury. We also measured the expression of other proteins likely involved in the Hp-mediated Hb catabolism and iron mobilization in alveolar macrophages.
Production of transgenic mice.
Transgenic mice carrying a 9-kb human Hp genomic DNA, which contains the entire Hp2 gene plus 1 kb of the 5′- and 1.5 kb of the 3′-flanking regions, were produced in a background of CB6F1, as described previously (23). The transgene was introduced in an inbred background C57BL/6.
Tracheal instillation of blood.
Blood was collected from normal healthy adult mice by intracardiac puncture into heparinized syringes after the animals were anesthetized with halothane. Animals were then euthanized by further exsanguination through the abdominal aorta. To induce lung injury, transgenic and wild-type mice (3–4 mo old) were anesthetized with Metofane (Pitman-Moore, Mundelein, IL) and intratracheally instilled with 50 μl of blood. The dose was determined according to the previous study in rats (14). Control animals from each group received the same volume of normal (0.9%) saline. Previous investigation using this method of exposure has demonstrated a uniform distribution of instilled material in the lung. After the instillation, all mice were allowed to recover from the anesthesia and return to animal care facilities.
Collection of lavage fluids and lavage cells from mice.
Mice were anesthetized, euthanized, and tracheally lavaged with 1.0 ml of normal saline. The lavage procedure was repeated twice. The combined lavage fluid was centrifuged at 600 g for 10 min at 4°C to separate cells from supernatant. The cells were resuspended in HBSS, and, with a cytospin, 2 × 105 cells were then pelleted onto slides. With the use of modified Wright's stain (Diff-Quick stain; American Scientific Products, McGaw Park, IL), neutrophils were enumerated, and values were expressed as the percentage of total cells recovered.
Biochemical analysis.
Lavage protein levels were determined using the Pierce Coomassie Plus protein assay reagent (Pierce, Rockford, IL). This assay was modified for use in the Cobas Fara II centrifugal spectrophotometer (Hoffman-LaRoche). Bovine serum albumin served as the standard. The lactate dehydrogenase concentration in the lavage fluid was measured using a commercially prepared kit (Sigma Diagnostics) modified for automated measurement. Concentrations of macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) in the lavage fluids were measured by the method of ELISA using Quantikine kits purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). Total Hb in bronchoalveolar lavage supernatant was quantified by the cyanomethemoglobin method (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO).
In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry.
Surgical specimens of human lung and normal mouse lung tissues were obtained, quick-frozen in Tissue-Tek optimum cutting temperature compound, and stored at −80°C until used for the preparation of cryosections. Human alveolar macrophages were obtained from volunteers (13) and pelleted onto coated glass slides. In situ hybridization of lung sections was conducted as previously described (23) using antisense mouse metal transport protein-1 (MTP-1) cRNA probes. The MTP-1 cDNA template used for the preparation of riboprobe was described in a previous publication (1). Immunohistochemistry for CD163 was performed using the Vectastain Elite ABC peroxidase kit and the VIP peroxidase substrate kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Anti-CD163 antibody was a gift from Dr. Søren K. Moestrup (University of Aarhus, Aarhus, Denmark). Immunohistochemical study for heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and ferritin was performed as described previously (7,14).
Data are expressed as means ± SE. Differences between multiple groups were analyzed using analysis of variance. Two-tailed tests of significance were employed. Significance was assumed atP < 0.05.
The human Hp transgene is expressed in several tissues, including liver, lung, adrenal glands, uterus, ovary, and submaxillary glands. A high level of Hp2 protein, which can be distinguished from the mouse Hp protein, is detected in the sera of transgenic mice (23). In most of the tissues in which Hp is produced, the human Hp2 transgene and the mouse endogenous Hp gene are expressed in the same type of cells. In the lung, however, the human Hp transgene is expressed in alveolar macrophages as it is in the human lung, whereas the endogenous mouse Hp gene is expressed in airway epithelial cells. The level of Hp protein in the lavage fluid was barely detectable in the wild-type animals because of extensive dilution of the lung fluids. However, an average of 15 μg/ml of Hp was found in the lavage fluids of transgenic mice.
To determine whether an elevated level of Hp in the lung can attenuate lung injury associated with exposure to the blood, mice were intratracheally instilled with a small volume of whole blood (50 μl) derived from normal healthy mice. Twenty-four hours after treatment, lung tissues and lavage fluids were collected and analyzed. The transgenic mice consistently displayed a higher degree of tolerance to blood-induced lung injury compared with wild-type animals. As shown in Fig. 1, the commonly used indexes for lung tissue injury, i.e., levels of total protein and lactate dehydrogenase in the lavage fluids, were elevated in both transgenic and wild-type mice after the animals were exposed to blood. However, the change was significantly less in the transgenic mice than in the wild-type mice.
Additionally, a lower degree of lung inflammation was found in transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice after blood treatment. The level of the major inflammatory cytokine MIP-2 was lower in the transgenic mouse lungs than in the wild-type mouse lungs (Fig.2). We also studied the profiles of lavage cells to determine whether there is a difference in the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration between wild-type and transgenic mice. After blood treatment, the percent of neutrophils in wild-type mice is twice as high as in transgenic mice (Table1). The total cell number was also higher in wild-type than in transgenic mice. There was no significant difference in the numbers of total cells or neutrophils between wild-type and transgenic mice in response to saline treatment.
As predicted, the amount of Hb retained in the lung after blood treatment was much lower in transgenic mice than in wild-type mice (Fig. 3). To identify the lung cells that are involved in the clearance of Hb in the lung, we studied the expression of the Hb scavenging protein CD163 in the lung. This protein, a monocyte/macrophage cell surface receptor, was recently shown to bind Hp-Hb complexes. An immunohistochemical experiment was performed on human lung sections, freshly isolated human alveolar macrophages, and baboon lung sections using an antibody against human CD163 that cross-reacts with baboon, but not mouse, antigen. A strong immunostain for CD163 was localized in alveolar macrophages but not in any other lung cell (Fig. 4). These results indicated that alveolar macrophages are the major cells responsible for Hb catabolism in the lung via CD163-mediated endocytosis.
Because the safe sequestration of iron is crucial for lung defense, we studied the molecular mechanisms involved in iron recycling after hemolysis in the lung. After endocytosis, iron can be released from Hb catalyzed by heme oxygenase. The inducible form of heme oxygenase, HO-1, is known to be activated by its substrate heme and numerous stress stimuli (reviewed in Ref. 16). To investigate the response of the HO-1 gene in lung cells in vivo to blood exposure, we performed immunohistochemical analysis of HO-1 on lung specimens collected 4, 8, 16, and 24 h after intratracheal instillation of blood. HO-1 expression was increased in alveolar macrophages, endothelial cells, and alveolar epithelial cells, but not in airway epithelial cells, in both wild-type and transgenic mice at 4 h after blood exposure (Table 2). HO-1 levels peaked at 4–8 h after exposure and declined after that. At all times, the level of HO-1 was much higher in wild-type than in transgenic mice. This was particularly noticeable in alveolar macrophages (Table 2). By 24 h after blood treatment, the HO-1 expression in transgenic mouse lung had decreased to the same level as in the untreated wild-type or transgenic mouse lung. However, it remained high in the alveolar macrophages in wild-type mice (Table 2and Fig. 5). There was also a more obvious increase in the number of alveolar macrophages in wild-type (Fig. 5 B) than in transgenic mouse lungs after blood exposure. This is in agreement with our observations for the profiles of lavage cells in these lungs (see Table 1).
After Hb is catabolized in alveolar macrophages, free iron released from heme can be sequestered in ferritin or mobilized to extracellular space. Previous studies have shown that macrophages are capable of releasing iron in the form of ferritin and transferrin (4, 9, 20), especially during iron overload (20,21). To investigate the molecular mechanism underlining this process in alveolar macrophages, we studied the expression of an iron export protein, MTP-1 (also known as ferroportin 1, Ireg1), that has recently been shown to be responsible for iron export in zebrafish yolk sac, Xenopus oocytes (11), and cultured cells (1). We found that MTP-1 is expressed in alveolar macrophages and airway epithelial cells in human lungs (unpublished observations). By using the technique of in situ hybridization, we demonstrated that a high level of MTP-1 mRNA was present mainly in the alveolar macrophage in the mouse lung (Fig.6). This result suggests MTP-1 plays a role in iron metabolism in alveolar macrophages after Hb catabolism.
To investigate the efficiency of iron mobilization in alveolar macrophages, we conducted immunohistochemical analysis of ferritin, which reflects the level of intracellular iron, in wild-type and transgenic mouse lungs 24 h after blood exposure. The results are summarized in Table 3. In the endothelium, airway epithelium, and alveolar epithelium, the ferritin level was not significantly different between transgenic and wild-type mice whether the animals were treated with saline or blood. In alveolar macrophages, the ferritin level was the same between transgenic and wild-type mice treated with saline. There was a marked increase in both transgenic and wild-type mice after blood exposure. However, the level of ferritin in alveolar macrophages was much greater in wild-type mice than in transgenic mice (Fig. 7), suggesting a higher efficiency of Hb catabolism and iron mobilization in transgenic mice than in wild-type mice.
In numerous acute and chronic lung injuries, frequently, red blood cells can be present in the lower respiratory tract. Extravasated erythrocytes can be removed by phagocytosis or destroyed by proteases, resulting in the release of Hb and reactive iron. These byproducts potentially participate in oxidant generation and contribute to injury (15, 24). Ghio et al. (14) has shown that intratracheal instillation of whole blood in the rat can induce a neutrophilic lung injury with a marked increase in both TNF-α and MIP-2. This injury is also associated with a disruption of iron equilibrium, which was made evident by quantifying iron and staining for Hb and ferritin. Nevertheless, the clearance processes for both erythrocytes and Hb in the lung are considered to be very efficient, and after a few days, little free Hb remains after exposure to whole blood (14).
As a major acute-phase protein, Hp has been shown to have several biological functions, including a role in Hb catabolism (10). In previous studies, we have found that the airway epithelium is a major site of Hp gene expression in baboons and mice. In humans, the Hp gene is not expressed in normal healthy lung but is greatly activated in alveolar macrophages in diseased lung tissues. In mouse lungs, alveolar macrophages can also be induced to synthesize Hp during inflammation (unpublished observations). The roles of Hp in lung health and lung defense have not been elucidated. Results from this study indicate that a major pathway for the removal of Hb in the lung involves the formation of Hp-Hb complexes. Using a transgenic mouse system, we have shown that overexpression of Hp in the lung promotes Hb removal after intratracheal instillation of whole blood. This was accompanied by a lower degree of neutrophilic lung injury and inflammation in transgenic compared with wild-type mice. After blood exposure, the increase of both TNF-α (data not shown) and MIP-2 was significantly less in transgenic than in wild-type mice. We have conducted a similar study using wild-type mice and Hp knockout mice generated by Lim et al. (18). In this experiment, the wild-type mice were much more tolerant to blood-induced lung injury than the Hp knockout mice (unpublished observations), providing further support for the protective effects of Hp during lung injury.
The fate of the Hp-Hb complexes in the lung is not clear. In the circulation, the Hp-Hb complexes are delivered to the parenchymal cells of the liver where Hb is broken down to bilirubin. A mechanism, which could be responsible for the transport of high-molecular-weight Hp-Hb complexes from respiratory tract to circulation, is yet to be established. In this study, we have shown that CD163, which was recently identified as an Hp-Hb scavenging receptor (17), is present in alveolar macrophages but not other lung cells. CD163 has a high affinity for Hp-Hb complexes but does not bind to Hp or Hb. CD163-mediated endocytosis of Hp-Hb complexes by alveolar macrophages could be the major pathway responsible for the removal of Hb in the lung. Increased production of Hp by alveolar macrophages and airway epithelial cells at the site of inflammation could contribute significantly to the clearance of Hb and thus protect the lower respiratory tract against Hb-mediated oxidative damage. In humans, there are two different genetic alleles for Hp, the Hp1 and Hp2. Interestingly, complexes of Hb and multimeric Hp (Hp 2-2 phenotype) exhibit a 10-fold higher functional affinity for CD163 than do complexes of Hb and dimeric Hp (Hp 1-1 phenotype) (17). It is not known whether individuals with the Hp1-1 type are more susceptible to Hb-induced lung injury and inflammation.
In alveolar macrophages, Hb catabolism involves the key enzyme heme oxygenase. Expression of the inducible form of this protein, HO-1, is known to be elevated in the lung during injury, inflammation, hyperoxia, and other stressful conditions. In this study, we have shown that HO-1 was induced at the early time points in alveolar macrophages in both transgenic and wild-type mouse lungs but diminished at later time points in transgenic mice. Because HO-1 gene expression is induced by its substrate heme in Hb, these results support our hypothesis that Hb is removed and catabolized more efficiently in transgenic mice than in wild-type mice. It is likely that the elevated level of Hp in the transgenic mouse lung, especially in the vicinity of alveolar macrophages, promotes a speedy clearance of Hb from the alveolar space. Shortly after blood exposure, this protective effect allowed the transgenic mice to activate only the needed level of HO-1, which was much lower than that required in the wild-type mice. The structure of the heme molecule and the mechanism involved in the induction of HO-1 by heme are not clear. Alternative explanations for a lower degree of HO-1 induction in transgenic mice could include the compartmentalization of Hp-Hb complexes in alveolar macrophages in these mice. Disregarding the mechanism involved, the level of HO-1 induction appeared to serve as an excellent index for Hb-associated oxidative stress. The anti-inflammatory effect of Hp in transgenic mouse lungs was also evident by a lower level of inflammatory cytokines, such as MIP-2 and TNF-α.
In alveolar macrophages, iron released from Hb may either enhance the production of ferritin and intracellular iron storage or be excreted as a metal bound to ferritin and/or transferrin. Iron efflux in alveolar macrophages has been shown to increase during iron overload (21) and may reflect a cellular protective mechanism against cell death as a result of oxidative stress (12). The molecular mechanism(s) involved in intracellular iron trafficking and iron transport across the cell membrane is not completely understood. Our finding that the iron exporter MTP-1 is expressed at a high level in alveolar macrophages suggests that MTP-1 may be another key protein that participates in an iron detoxification (recycling) process in alveolar macrophages. Our proposed model for this process is illustrated in Fig. 8. In this model, Hb released during hemolysis is first captured by Hp synthesized locally at a high level by alveolar macrophages (in human) or airway epithelial cells (in mice and baboon). The Hp-Hb complexes are taken up by alveolar macrophages through CD163-mediated endocytosis. After Hb is degraded, iron can be sequestered in the cells or released in less reactive forms as transferrin and/or ferritin. Some of these iron-containing proteins may be captured within mucus and may subsequently be expelled from the lung. A high concentration of iron-containing protein has been found in sputum from patients with lung diseases (2). Interestingly, all the key proteins participating in this Hb catabolism and iron detoxification process are elevated during inflammation (5, 6, 8, 19, unpublished observations), further suggesting their importance in lung defense.
Using transgenic mice overexpressing Hp, we have shown that an increased level of Hp can promote Hb clearance and attenuate blood-induced lung injury and inflammation. Our results suggest that Hb catabolism in alveolar macrophages is linked to iron mobilization to ensure the safe sequestration of iron derived from Hb. Alveolar macrophages appear to produce all the key proteins and enzymes needed in this catabolic pathway. Hp and other proteins involved in iron mobilization may play important roles in lung defense.

Why make a short film? At Short Takes, a recent panel discussion co-presented by IFP and DCTV, the answers varied with each pass of the microphone. The participating panelists — Terence Nance, Dustin Guy Defa, Lauren Wolkstein, Ryan Koo, and Jeremiah Zagar — reflected upon prior efforts to offer a unique, holistic picture into the business and practice of short filmmaking. Koo, who recently revealed Amateur, a short prequel to his debut feature Manchild, said that he viewed the format as a calling card, a means to entice both the industry and a larger audience. Nance and Wolkstein, on the […]by Sarah Salovaara on Jul 25, 2013
Jeremiah Zagar, the prolific documentary filmmaker behind 2008's In a Dream is back with Heart Stop Beating: A Body Without A Pulse, a new short screening before Escape Fire this week at Sundance. Heart Stop Beating is a brief, fascinating look at Billy Cohn & Bud Frazier, two doctors who successfully replaced a dying man's heart with a mechanical device this past March, proving that human physiology can be supported without a pulse. Over its four minute run-time, the documentary features glimpses into the operating room, as well as interviews with Cohn and Frazer. Watch it above.

Sundance seems a little incomplete for me without Jamie Stuart, who is shooting this year for Cinelan and GE's new Focus Forward initiative. Led by Cinelan co-founders Morgan Spurlock and Karol Martesko-Fenster (Filmmaker's founding publsiher), the program brings 30 new three-minute short films to festivals internationally. So, to get my Stuart Sundance fix I'll post this piece he shot for the organization, which is premiering its first five films here at the festival. Jamie may be lensing for this new short-form doc producer, but I wouldn't be surprised if a photo gallery of snow-capped peaks, shuttle busses lumbering down Park, […]by Scott Macaulay on Jan 20, 2012
It's been awhile since I sat down to chat with director Jeremiah Zagar, one half of Brooklyn-based Herzliya Films, which he runs with his producer Jeremy Yaches, so I was pretty excited to hear about their latest venture, Starved For Attention. A short film series created at the behest of Doctors Without Borders and VII Photo designed to highlight childhood malnutrition around the world Starved For Attention also seems to be the rarest of public service announcements, doubling as works of cinematic art. I spoke briefly with Zagar as he was preparing for the release of the eighth doc in […]by Lauren Wissot on Oct 21, 2011


text: After separating from my 2nd marriage, I spent the past 4 months reflecting and one of my needs led me here. It dawned on me that my huge dick is one of my greatest assets, whose greatest and power was used for more than sex. Because I view sex as the most powerful forms of meditation, my success and pioneering creativity in bed is also transferred into my life and to my pioneering success in business. (Once you become friends, you can Google me). When I withdrew from it for 3'years to allow my Ex to detach from her greatest loss,I danced 4 to 5 nights a week. I don't date because it can cause strong attachment and strings. so, i am seeking a safe way to accomplish this goal, which can be even more gratifying without drama and commitment interference. My manhood has been neglected and,needs love and appreciation from someone that has a desire for it, has the right personality, and a need that it can satisfy. I have been searching to find this private partner with a mutual need to be fulfilled and a very strong sexual desire. If we sync and i earn her trust enough for her to totally let go, allowing my big dick to take her to a more intense climax, after she shows me her hot spots by becoming aroused and begins to down from her climaxes, i exploit that,spot taking her to a more intense orgasim. hopefully, she feels the need for more and releases more slippery creamy cum, allowing me to penetrate deeper to reach areas where no man has been before and finally, her best position should allow me to take her into a state of nonstop orgasims arriving to the final destination and my best position. things are very hot and wet thing around the big cock and the ideal time give her the biggest orgasim, as we explored together into the place beyond fantasy. When it is nurtured and feels appreciated by someone, it likes it when it can make two peoples bodies become one, trebling and moaning for hours. And when they both leave the bed fulfilled and confident in who we they are. A special feeling that can last for days, knowing that few people ever reach this state of oneness or know that an orgasim is just the beginning and not the end. I believe that white women who have the body built for a big cock can have the greatest need for fulfillment and will show more appreciation. So I benefit from the passion and love she can give to it and me, and she can benefit from reaching ecstasy and finally releasing her untapped sexual desire.


text: I am real glad i read this thread. I have been thining for awhile that i needed to try this. A roofer friend of mine has been pushing me to do it. After reading this though, i think i will continue to use my proven methods which i have been happy with. tom

Gardeners' Notes:
On Apr 8, 2015, coriaceous from ROSLINDALE, MA wrote:
This is one of the most popular of hosta cultivars. It is often referred to as if it were a cultivar of the August lily (H. plantaginea), but it is really a hybrid. Its flowers are much smaller than those of that species, and though it is fragrant, its fragrance does not carry as far on the air. Its foliage is undistinguished. Its virtues are those of H. plantaginea, but in most important ways it's inferior to it.

This one tolerates morning and evening sun and heat well without the leaves frying. Stays green too. Only thing that bothers it is wind. The wind cuts up the leaves easily.

I have been growing Royal Standard Hostas in the full (northern exposure) sun and partial shade for over 10 years in Florida, first in Leesburg (Zone 9a) for over 5 years and in Orlando (Zone 9b) for 5 years. They are wonderfully fragrant, bloom profusely twice a year and I have had blooms as early as March. The only downside is the same problem up north - snails and slugs. They need consistant watering and I baby them but they are worth it.

ROYAL STANDARD is one of very few Hostas that can be grown in Zone 8b Florida. Here, it makes two flushes of bloom, with the second coming as the last flowers of the first flush fade. I have it in filtered shade under a fairly large Redbud Tree, and it has done very well for me.

Swans reveal Sinclair approach
Swansea have revealed that they have made an approach for Chelsea winger Scott Sinclair.
Last Updated: 05/08/10 9:25pm
Swansea have made an approach for Chelsea winger Scott Sinclair, while chairman Huw Jenkins has also confirmed Blackpool have not come back with an increased bid for right-back Angel Rangel.
Sinclair worked with Swans boss Brendan Rodgers during his time at Stamford Bridge and it is hoped that could sway the 21-year-old when he returns from Chelsea's short pre-season trip to Germany.
The youngster has failed to establish himself with the reigning Premier League champions and has instead enjoyed several loan spells, most recently at Wigan last season, but the Swans are keen to lure him on a permanent deal.
"We have spoken to Chelsea about Scott," Jenkins confirmed in the South Wales Evening Post.
"Brendan obviously knows him pretty well from his time at Chelsea and we hope that could play a part in Scott's decision.
"The next step is to try to make contact with the player. If something was to happen, though, we're not sure whether it would take a few days or a few weeks."
Regarding Rangel, who was the subject of a rejected bid from Blackpool last Friday, Jenkins added: "I've not spoken to anyone at Blackpool since we turned down their offer.
"I'm not sure if they will phone us again regarding Angel, but he is a player we are not looking to sell."

Why Flyers' Mike Richards needs to drop his media vendetta
There's criticism of the intensity of sports media coverage, and then there's the accusation that local reporters fabricate information for the purpose of manufacturing controversies during slow news cycles.
Perhaps one day, Mike Richards(notes) of the Philadelphia Flyers will understand the difference.
The 24-year-old captain of a ninth-place team has had a chilly relationship with the Philly media this season, following an underwhelming 2008-09 campaign that saw more tabloid photos of the Flyers' party life than playoff wins. Their reputation as revelers was reinforced by GM Paul Holmgren in an offseason interview.
This reputation led to speculation that forward Joffrey Lupul(notes) was shipped out to Anaheim in the Chris Pronger(notes) trade in order to break up the party, and that Pronger and Ian Laperriere(notes) were added to the Flyers locker room as a much needed veteran presence on and off the ice.
That speculation earlier this season angered Richards; in an interview with The Hockey News circulating this week, he accused the media of "making things up" in reporting on the Flyers during their struggles.
It's an interview that led to a fierce war of words between the captain and the scribes after Philly's game against the Washington Capitals on Sunday; a moment that, once again, shows the young captain pious cries of unfair media scrutiny are off-base and need to cease.
Here's what Richards said in The Hockey News, to Adam Proteau for a cover story. Please also enjoy Pronger's words about "jagoffs" who report on random acts of hugging on the street ... as opposed to the ones who demand trades after Stanley Cup runs without any candid justification to the fans who supported him:
The Philly media decided to call Richards out for these quotes after the Flyers' 5-3 loss to the Capitals, although one hopes they would have done so win or lose.
Daily Times beat writer Anthony J. SanFilippo has a complete blow-by-blow transcript of the exchange. At times it reads like some Philly sports version of "Who's On First?" although with more booze and less baseball. Here's part of the fun, with specific media indentified:
CSNPHILLY.COM: The follow up to that is, do you think there's a problem between us and you?
RICHARDS: Um.. Probably not. I haven't even read the (Hockey News) article. I don't know if I was misquoted or what was said. So, I can't elaborate on that.
DELCO TIMES: I guess the question that might clear this up is, is this something that was brought up to you by the (Hockey News) writer, or was this something you brought back up again yourself?
RICHARDS: No. I'm not sure in this instance because it was a month-and-a-half ago. But, in the texting it was like, 'What's it like playing in Philadelphia?' I said, 'The media's tough sometimes when we're losing. It's good when we're winning.' I can't say exactly what I said but...
INQUIRER: (interrupting) You did say in the next sentence that 'they make stuff up.'
RICHARDS: Oh, O.K.
COURIER POST OF NJ: Do you think you're treated unfairly by us this season?
RICHARDS: No... Thanks guys. It was a pleasure, as usual.
SanFilippo went on to write that there was an epilogue with Richards, before Peter Laviolette broke up the scrum. He also finds sympathy for Richards in that the writers may have come on too strong and that Richards, as a young and single professional athlete, is feeling enormous pressure for performance on and off the ice.
SanFillippo offered more editorial thoughts than Philly writers from CSN, the Inquirer (original, since deleted headline: "Captain Whine Rips Media") and the Courier Post, which more or less just covered the contentious exchange. Sam Carchidi of the Philly.com Broad Street Bull blog, however, opened with this salvo:
Richards is a terrific, gritty player who has been compared to a young Bobby Clarke. Personally, I would rather write about his on-ice exploits than his whining. But when he went national and erroneously charged the local media with being dishonest, well, it can't be ignored.
Nor should it.
As we've said before: Richards is totally on point with his criticism of the Lupul angle. It's not as if he was shipped to California for a bag of pucks; it was for Chris Pronger. It's difficult to make the "breaking up the band" argument when it's that level of trade, and we're talking about a Lupul-level of player.
But as far as the party-boy accusations, this isn't about some "jagoff" taking a photo of Richards at a frat mixer out of context. As nearly every Philly reporter in the scrum Sunday reiterated, it's a meme fueled by Richards's own general manager, who claimed the young Flyers' off-ice routine was a concern ... before he meekly backpedaled in The Hockey News piece: "I don't think it's ever been an issue on the team and our guys just laugh about it."
Funny, Richards didn't seem all that jovial with the local press.
The "C" on his chest does not stand for "contentious." It doesn't stand for "controversy." It's a symbol that means Richards should be above this fray, not grabbing the shovel when the story's been buried, and raising it from the dead. The Flyers are 6-3-1 in their last 10, and about to begin a definitive six-game home stand. Yet this is the major story that greets them upon returning home. He should have just said the quotes speak for themselves and "next question'd" the media instead of offering a showdown.
Richards needs to understand where these stories came from, why they were perpetuated and why they're yet again an issue for this team. Then he needs to heed his own advice and win some hockey games so he "won't have to hear it again."
Well, until he decides to insult his beat writers in another national interview.

DC Comics is to publish an original Jonah Hex graphic novel titled No Way Back.
Written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, the book is illustrated by Hex co-creator Tony DeZuniga. Its launch will coincide with the release of the comic's cinematic adaptation.
"John Albano and Tony DeZuniga originally conceived the premise for this story, but were unfortunately unable to tell it for one reason or another. Tony mentioned to us that they'd wanted to do a story that involved Jonah Hex having a brother," Gray told Newsarama.
"The original hardcover has grown from that seed into a very personal and revealing look at Jonah Hex in ways that we haven't fully explored in the book. Because the hardcover is meant to open up the world to Jonah Hex around the release of the film and hopefully bridge the gap from film to comics, we wanted to do something special."
Palmiotti added: "With the movie coming out and the extra attention the character would be getting, we pitched the graphic novel as a special project where we would get to work with the legendary Tony DeZuniga."
No Way Back arrives in stores on June 8. Jonah Hex is released in theatres on June 18.

Fans Troll NYE Festival With Fake Lineup Announcements
Festival lineups are a dime a dozen nowadays. There's hundreds upon hundreds of gatherings that bring in the same 200+ artists each year, and after a while it can feel a little depressing to see so many familiar faces.
Decadence Festival in Denver, CO has announced a few of its (official) headlining performers at the NYE jamboree this year, and although these names truly are diverse in respect to other festivals, a few fans have gone the extra mile to instill some extra humor and excitement for their fellow end-of-the-year partiers.
These fake Decadence lineups were first created and inspired by an renown member of the Denver scene named Denny Digger a few years ago, however the creative genius unfortunately passed away earlier this year, so the torch is now being carried by his caring fellow pranksters in the scene. As a tribute to him and to the festival, here are 38 hilariously fake performers for Decadence NYE:

Bad Beats
Link to Us
Every poker player suffers from a bad beat. The key is how do you recover.
At a recent trip to a casino, I suffered through a horrifying bad beat in a cash game. The game was just a cheap $1/$2 buy-in. I was dealt KQ offsuit. Someone raised it to $7. I called, and so did 5 others. The flop came AJT rainbow. I flopped an Ace-high straight, with no possible flush draws. Someone raised it to $30, and then the player to my right re-raised to $70. Naturally, I went all in (I had about $100). All the other players folded, except for the re-raiser, who called. So I went heads-up with my straight against pocket jacks, which turned into trip jacks. Then the turn came - another ten. I lost my straight on the flop to a full house.
So what do you do next?
I could have become irate, tossing chairs, cursing out players, damning the cards, etc. I would have every right, considering I had him 50/50 before the flop, I had him dominated after the flop, and yet he lucked out on the turn. Yet, instead, I entered a tournament of 110 players and won it.
There are three key things to keep in mind when you have suffered through a bad beat:
1. Bad beats are rare. Well, they are rare if it truly is a bad beat. Losing pocket QQ to a pair of Aces is not all that rare. A true bad beat is statistically uncommon.
2. It's nothing personal. The guy you lost to doesn't have a personal vendetta against you. He probably doesn't even know your name. He just happened to have alot of luck, and your luck disappeared for that hand.
3. The game must go on. Pining over lost cash will not win you your next hand. You need to get your game-face back on, and win the next hand.
Remember these keys when you suffer through a bad beat, and you will be able to move on and win some cash.

Item description for Is God Listening: Making Prayer A Part Of Your Life by Andrew E. Steinmann...Overview
Prayer is in a state of confusion in Lutheranism. *Does prayer bring God to me? *Is prayer a means of grace? *Is it a pipeline of communication between a believer and God? *Is that pipeline a two way street? *The more prayers that are prayed the better Christian I am? *The more people that are praying the more likely someone will be taken care of by God? Dr. Steinmann engagingly upholds the unique biblical Lutheran view of prayer in this book. Many books on prayer fall into the trap of making God so personal that prayer becomes a psychological tool, a sacrament, or an act in which the believer trusts more than the work of Christ. Dr. Steinmann, in a pastoral, yet scholarly manner brings to the reader God's word and the simplicity of prayer. He summarizes it this way: 1.Prayer does not begin with human effort to pester God until he listens. Prayer begins with God's promise of mercy toward us; 2.Prayer is not a way to manipulate God into answering all our questions or solving our problems in the ways we want them solved. Prayer is designed to help us transcend our problems and troubles by hearing God Himself through His word and Sacraments. It is a book about prayer through the eyes of a pastoral scholar who uses the prayers in the bible to teach the reader about prayer and its place in the daily piety of the believer.
Publishers Description
Many people are confused by Prayer. Does prayer bring God to me? Is Prayer a means of grace? Is it a pipeline of communication between a believer and God? Is it better to pray more? Through the eyes of this pastoral scholar, readers discover that prayer is based not on what the believer does, but on God's mercy. In the mercy, prayer is designed to help Christians transcend problems and troubles by hearing God through His Word and Sacraments. Readers learn how prayers from the Bible teach the Christian about prayer's place in the daily piety of the believer.

The Power of Charity In EDM
Whether it's the music that hits your soul, the sincere generosity received from another, or the fact that you're all together in one incredible location to have an epic time, music events all around the world have given pure bliss to many. If that's not enough, the culture has created a life of altruism. The past has harbored varying opinions concerning EDM, but today we see the culture has become a movement of love and life. The EDM community has been linked to charities for years but it continues to triumph. It is no longer just about the music and the parties, it's about what EDM can do for the world, and let me tell you, we can change a lot.
Festivals have always served as an incredible outlet for philanthropy. Much like the Live Aid event hosted at Wembley Stadium in 1985, dance music festivals are utilizing the cultural-bridging elements of music to raise money for a powerful cause. Beach Glow Music Festival, taking place in Atlantic City, NJ, is a great example of this. Through the national nonprofit Little Kids Rock, the festival will be providing music classes and new instruments at no cost to underserved schoolchildren all across the U.S., allowing them to receive the music education that they deserve.
"BeachGlow raised $40,000 for the American Red Cross at a sold-out show of 7,000 last year," says Dane Kunkel, BeachGlow's Founder and CEO. "We're hoping 10,000 fans will come out this year to experience an amazing day of music, beach games, food, drink, shopping, body painting, and more, so we can help Little Kids Rock 'spread the glow' to schools that no longer have music programs as part of their curriculum." Artists such as Tommy Trash, Vicetone, Project 46, Autograf, and more will be contributing their talents to this special day. This is just one instance of how EDM has made moves for the betterment of society.
But it's not just the festivals people: record labels, artists, and even brands are continuously becoming more and more involved in giving back. Skrillex's brainchild label OWSLA gave back this year with their Nestivus charity campaign, which gave all of its proceeds to Bridges for Music, a non-profit organization supporting electronic music development in developing countries and raising global awareness about local issues through music. Also, some smaller labels such as Zenter music, are focused on fundraising in order to rebuild war-torn regions and countries that are in need of help from local diseases, famine, and more.
Cadence & Cause connects artists with charities through a unique music streaming platform. Clayton Warwick, co-founder of The Music Ninja, is developing Cadence & Cause as, "a web platform that's a mash-up of Spotify, Omaze and Kickstarter." The platform pairs musicians with a cause and uses this pairing to bring more attention to the issues at the heart of each cause. For example, The Chainsmokers have partnered with Cadence & Cause to donate two pairs of signed headphones in order to promote education.
Artist 3LAU joined forces with Pencils of Promise to give children in developing countries the opportunity to receive an education. Whether it's proceeds from the sale of a remix, money from ticket sales, or his own personal donation, 3LAU is heavily involved in giving back through the power of music. Artists SoySauce, a duo from Washington D.C., also released their new LUNCH MONEY EP to support the BackPack program at the LA Food Bank, in which they donate all proceeds from the EP to give lunches to school children in need.
EDM brands work hard at giving back through artists and the community, one in particular is Electric Family. Through hoodies, beanies, and their artist bracelets, they continuously give back through EDM. Several artists that have joined the bracelet community include DJ Snake, Kygo, JAUZ, 3LAU, Adventure Club, and Borgore.
Kygo's artist bracelet benefits Doctors Without Borders, which delivers emergency medical aid to people all across the world dealing with epidemics, disasters, or those without health care. JAUZ's artist bracelet benefits the Make-A-Wish-Foundation; by supporting this cause, the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition will be granted every 38 minutes. Electric Family wants each artist band to focus on a charity the artist feels strongly about, and that way it truly comes from the heart.
As you can see , all positions in the EDM world are coming together to work toward a better future for our world. The money, talent, and popularity are all going toward those that need it more. EDM is proving to everyone, it's more than music, it's making this world a better place.

The comedian behind the controversial Dapper Laughs act has resurrected the character after declaring him "dead" last month and apologising following accusations of sexism.
The performer, real name Daniel O'Reilly, posted a Christmas message on YouTube proclaiming that "Dapper's Back".
It sees him mock his own grovelling appearance on BBC Newsnight in November, when he admitted that Dapper Laughs was "a type of comedy that I should not have been doing".
In the footage, which lasts under two minutes, God orders Dapper to return from heaven to earth because he is "needed down there".
A meek-looking O'Reilly is then confronted by his cocky alter ego, who tells him: "What's wrong, you can't take it? Go on, you might as well go up there (to heaven) because my work down here (on earth) ain't finished."
Over 60,000 people signed a petition last month calling for ITV2 to scrap a second series of O'Reilly's dating show Dapper Laughs: On The Pull.
It was axed by the channel after footage emerged of O'Reilly telling a female audience member she was "gagging for a rape" at a show in London.
Some 44 comedians also signed an open letter condemning O'Reilly for his "sexist and degrading" comedy.
Appearing on Newsnight on November 11, he told presenter Emily Maitlis: "It's completely ruined everything that's going on with me as a comedian. The bad press and everything that's happened – it's wrecked my life to a certain extent.
"I am not going to allow Dapper Laughs to represent me. I want the people out there to know that not only am I going to stop it, I am going to help it not being promoted."

Labour leader and Doncaster North MP Ed Miliband has stepped into the row over rapist footballer Ched Evans saying he wouldn't sign him.
The MP made his comments after it emerged that League One side Oldham Athletic appeared to be set to pull the plug on signing the former Sheffield United star after a backlash from fans.
The convicted rapist, 26, was set to join on a long-term deal and train with the club on Monday. But 20,000 people have signed an online petition urging the Latics not to sign Evans.
Oldham are due to take on Doncaster Rovers next Saturday.
Commenting on the story Mr Miliband said he believed that footballers are role models and said he would not sign Evans.
"Personally, if I was in their shoes, he hasn't shown remorse and I wouldn't take him on," Miliband told BBC Radio Manchester.
Evans was jailed in 2012 for raping a girl in a hotel. He continues to maintain his innocence, saying the sex was consensual and has never apologised.
He held talks with former club Sheffield United about a return to football, but the Blades decided against signing him after an outcry from sponsors and celebrity fans including Jessica Ennis and former Beautiful South frontman Paul Heaton.
Maltese club Hibernians also offered him a deal but the Ministry of Justice said rules prevented Evans from working abroad.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission is conducting an investigation into his conviction.

Flash floods dump nearly a foot of rain in Monroe, St. Francis counties
Many in Monroe & St. Francis counties dealing with the aftermath of flooding on Sunday after heavy rain Saturday night dropped nearly a foot of rain in some locations. More than a dozen were forced to leave their houses due to flooding inside their homes.
Highway 49 in Brinkley was practically turned into a water park ride after portions of the road were completely covered in water. Other secondary highways in and around Brinkley and Forrest City had partial flooding making driving for motorists difficult.
Vehicles wading through water also passed by countless flooded yards and homes surrounded by water.
"Got oceanfront property now," remarked Virginia Volner, whose yard was completely covered and water just up to her home.
Volner said she and her neighbors are used to flooding around their homes, but she said she's never seen it this bad.
"It's never come up this way," said Volner pointing to her house. "I mean this morning, earlier it covered the whole yard."
Several homes required evacuation. Many were able to find refuge with family, but the Arkansas American Red Cross is providing shelter assistance in Monroe County.
"As we speak, we've had about four or five families that have required that," said Brigette Williams, spokesperson for Arkansas American Red Cross.
Williams mentions Red Cross crews are on the ground in St. Francis County as well assessing the damage there and acknowledges there may be the need for them to find more hotel rooms for those needing a place to stay after Sunday's flash floods.
"Some of the homes that we've seen have had as much as 36 inches of water in them from the flash floods," said Williams.
The number of flooded homes is nothing compared to the amount of flooded fields in the affected areas, with countless crops under water. Williams also warns that the standing water in those fields and yards are pristine breeding grounds for mosquitoes. It's a warning against mosquito-borne illness.
"As we always tell our children - keep the door closed and keep screens down and do what you have to be as cautious as you can," said Williams.
The Red Cross doesn't currently have estimates on how much damage was caused by the floods.
