Aurones as Modulators of ABCG2 and ABCB1: Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships.
Summary of "Aurones as Modulators of ABCG2 and ABCB1: Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships."
The ability of aurones to modulate the efflux activities of ABCG2 and ABCB1 was investigated by quantifying their effects on the accumulation of pheophorbide A (PhA) in ABCG2-overexpressing MDA-MB-231/R cells and calcein AM in ABCB1-overexpressing MDCKII/MDR1 cells. Key structural features for interactions at both ABCG2 and ABCB1 are a methoxylated ring A, an intact exocyclic double bond, and the location of the carbonyl bond on ring C. Modifications on rings B and C were less critical and served primarily to moderate activity and selectivity for one or both transporters. These SAR trends were quantified by Free-Wilson analyses and are reflected in a pharmacophore model for PhA accumulation. Several compounds were found to be equipotent with fumitremorgin C (FTC) in promoting PhA accumulation, and they also demonstrated strong affinities for ABCB1. These compounds were disubstituted on ring B with methoxy or a combination of methoxy and hydroxy groups. Taken together, our findings highlight the versatility of the aurone template as a lead scaffold for the design of dual-targeting ABCG2 and ABCB1 modulators.

Grouping the
seePredators( )
is coded in a similar way to the rules in
: a loop tests each of the boids in the predator flock for proximity. If a predator is within range, the velocity will be set to a scaled move in the
public Vector3f seePredators(Vector3f boidPos) { predsList = predBeh.getBoidsList( ); // refer to pred list avoidPred.set(0,0,0); // reset Vector3f predPos; PredatorBoid b; int i = 0; while((b = (PredatorBoid)predsList.getBoid(i)) != null) { distFrom.set(boidPos); predPos = b.getBoidPos( ); distFrom.sub(predPos); if(distFrom.length( ) < PROXIMITY) { // is pred boid close? avoidPred.set(distFrom); avoidPred.scale(FLEE_WEIGHT); // scaled run away break; } i++; } return avoidPred; } // end of seePredators( )
An important difference in this code from earlier rules is the first line, where a reference to the predators list is obtained by calling getBoidsList( ) in PredatorBehavior . The prey examine this list to decide if they should start running.
Goodbye Prey
PreyBehavior contains an eatBoid( ) method, called by PredatorBehavior when the given boid has been eaten:
public void eatBoid(int i) { ((PreyBoid)boidsList.getBoid(i)).boidDetach( ); boidsList.removeBoid(i); }
eatBoid( ) deletes a boid by detaching it from the scene graph, and removing it from the boids list.
The Predator's Behavior
PredatorBehavior has similar tasks to PreyBehavior :
To create its boids (e.g., PredatorBoid s) and store them in the boids list
To store the velocity rules specific to PredatorBoid s, which require an examination of the entire flock
To eat prey when they're close enough
Boid creation is almost identical to that done in PreyBehavior , except that PredatorBoid s are created instead of PreyBoid s. PredatorBoid has a method, setPredBeh( ) , which allows WrapFlocking3D to pass it a reference to the PreyBehavior object .
The velocity rule is implemented by findClosePrey( ) : the method calculates the average position of all the nearby PreyBoid s and moves the predator a small step toward that position. The code is similar to other rules, except that it starts by obtaining a reference to the prey list by calling getBoidsList( ) in PreyBehavior .
preyList = preyBeh.getBoidsList( ); // get prey list int i = 0; while((b = (PreyBoid)preyList.getBoid(i)) != null) { pos = b.getBoidPos( ); // get prey boid position // use pos to adjust the predator's velocity }
Lunch Time
The third task for
public int eatClosePrey(Vector3f boidPos) { preyList = preyBeh.getBoidsList( ); int numPrey = preyList.size( ); int numEaten = 0; PreyBoid b; int i = 0; while((b = (PreyBoid)preyList.getBoid(i)) != null) { distFrom.set(boidPos); distFrom.sub( b.getBoidPos( ) ); if(distFrom.length( ) < PROXIMITY/3.0) { // boid v.close to prey preyBeh.eatBoid(i); // found prey, so eat it numPrey--; numEaten++; System.out.println("numPrey: " + numPrey); } else i++; } return numEaten; } // end of eatClosePrey( )
The reference to PreyBehavior is used to get a link to the prey list and to call eatBoid( ) to remove the i th boid. When a boid is removed, the next boid in the list becomes the new i th boid, so the i index mustn't be incremented.

A Tuesday afternoon crash in Canton claimed the life of a long-time North Country fireman and his father. Barry Wygel shows us how his department is remembering and honoring their longtime brother.
ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. -- The firefighters of the Morley Fire Department had to face their worst fears Tuesday as they were called to an accident on Morley-Potsdam Road that involved one of their own. "You pull up on scene and you just see a car and a truck and then you're walking up to the car and you realize that it's one of your own members that they are doing CPR on, that's kind of hard on you," said Mike Perkins, Morley Fire Chief.
Thomas Butterfield was traveling with his father, Theron, when they hit a slippery part of the road and were struck by an oncoming car. Both men were killed in the crash. Thomas' fellow firefighters remember him as someone who would go above and beyond the call of duty. "If you asked him to direct traffic, he would direct traffic. He'd always come back to the station after a call and ask if there is anything specific to do and no matter what it was took on the task," said Joe Brooks, 1st Asst. Chief. In the wake of the accident, the firefighters here have come together and they are working with Butterfield's family to put together a fitting tribute.
"We're waiting right now for the final arrangements with the family, as far as what we are going to do, we'll probably provide fire apparatus for the funeral," said Brooks.
Brooks wants Butterfield to be remembered as someone who loved life.
"Enjoyed the community, enjoyed the people he hung around with, just taken the consideration that he liked what he did," said Brooks.
Butterfield spent more than 20 years helping his communities as a firefighter. Before joining the Morley Fire Department, Butterfield also served in the West Potsdam and Parishville Fire Departments.

Hi Guy's,
Re-springing……Now there's a subject that people get confused about. "Have I done a respring? How do I do respring on my iPhone?" These are quiet common questions we are asked on a daily basis, and "Is there a easy way to respring?" ….Well, Cydia has come up trumps again, with LockSpring.
I don't know whether you can guess what it does by the name of it? but its quiet a straight forard but effective tweak. It adds a respring button and toggle at the top of your screen.
As you can see, It's an incredibly simple and straight forward tweak, and you will have this function in other apps,such as "WinterBoard" "SBSettings" etc etc , but with LockSpring, its very easy to access…it's right on your Lockscreen. The settings are also very easy and straight forward.
LockSpring is compatible with ALL device's, iPod Touch,iPhone &iPad and you will be required to be on iOS5+ to benefit from this tweak. Whats also good about LockSpring, is that it's FREE!!!!
Our final thought's are; if you're looking for a simple tweak that performs a respring with no extra features or cost, then LockSpring is the one for you!

Maritess talks about women and magic……Oh Boy
The Legend of Maritess
Please Read an article first.
Before you read my article please read an article by the former best female magician in NY Maritess Zurbano, then read my article and finally PLEASE PLEASE COMMENT BELOW and share this article because I'm going to go around and ask magicians in the NYC area about this exact topic for a video I'll post.
Now for my insight…
Hopefully you've read the article that Maritess wrote talking about the sexist nature of magic and the magic world. And if you have hopefully you're as angry as I am. She portrays the magic world as a bunch of degenerate horn dogs who do nothing but belittle women and are not accepting. Well to be honest I'm not very accepting of the quality of female magicians. Why? because they are NOT up to par. I'm not claiming that women are not good at magic, what I'm saying is from the women doing magic that I've seen aren't good.
Not long ago I saw a female magician performing in a Las Vegas show and honestly it was horrible. If the the shoe was on the other foot and I as a man did on stage what this female magician did I would be laughed at and ridiculed. However because it was a woman and she was fairly good looking she was accepted and praised for doing "a great job". It wasn't and during the performance I heard things like "She's so pretty" and "she's got great talent" but at no point did I hear "Wow that was amazing".
Too often in magic we are nice and not honest. We hold back from what we really want and what we really should say in order to bring magic to the next level. It has NOTHING to do with the sex of the performer and EVERYTHING to do with how and what they do. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean that you should be afforded extra luxuries and treated differently, remember women's rights? Remember when women were screaming out to be treated equally? I do and I'm going to do just that. If a woman wants to be considered a good magician then maybe they should put the work into being just that.
On another note sex is what sells. there's no denying that. Criss Angel is a very good looking guy and WOMEN love that, as do men who look at attractive magicians love that they look good. Honestly who wants to look an an ugly person? It's in our nature as humans to be ATTRACTED TO ATTRACTIVENESS. Or am I crazy? Maybe I am but beer companies and clothing companies agree and their marketing says just that. That being said let's break it down to what this article is about. Maritess' article.
Responding to the claims.
In her article she she says that she knew some tricks but was ashamed because she didn't understand the most basic magic secrets….
Although I knew some really great effects, such as how to turn $1 into a $100 bill, I was ashamed that I didn't understand the most basic magic secrets, such as how to make a dove appear in my bare hands or how to make someone vanish from a chair.
What does that tell me? Well it says she didn't do what she needed to do to get the information. She seems to expect the information to just be handed to her. Like she was entitled to it because she's a woman!!! Really? Learning how to turn $1 into $1oo dollars is a strong effect no doubt but that is not the essence of magic, not the real secret behind magic nor is anything she said was the "basics" of magic. If you want to be a dove magician you learn dove magic. If you want to learn how to change one bill to another then you learn that.
I also aspired to become one of the best card workers out there. I went to blackjack-dealing school, bought books, invested thousands of dollars in apparatus and spent hundreds of hours networking, but my efforts always seemed superficial.
I as well aspire to become a great card worker. However reading books and going to a blackjack dealing school and investing money in apparatus doesn't make you a good magician or card technician. HOURS AND MONTHS AND YEARS OF PRACTICE DO THAT. If getting better is achieved by networking then I am one the best card magicians out ther because of the people I know. The reason I know some of these people? BECAUSE THEY SAW THAT I'VE PUT MY TIME INTO LEARNING AND PROGRESSING. I didn't sit around waiting for people to give me what I wanted I went out and got it my self and in turn people respected that. To this day I still learn and read and progress my self and thanks to my work people now give me more information and insight. It has nothing to do with me being a man but EVERYTHING to do with my AMBITION!!!
I knew Maritess when she lived in NYC and to be perfectly honest, she didn't impress me. She knew some tricks that I learned early on and tried to base her career on those things. She didn't accept criticism and wouldn't take the time to look back and say to her self "Why is this not working" instead she sat back and said I'm a woman and there aren't many like me this should be enough. Well at least that seems to be the case. For years I saw Maritess doing the same tricks the same way with out improvement. And as I got better and as others progressed Maritess faded into the shadows. She claims that women are used for sex objects and viewed as such but look at what Maritess herself posed for in a a photoshoot for her own devices…
The Bottom Line
I don't care if you're a man or woman. If you want to get anywhere you have to put your own work in. I teach magicians all the time but I won't teach someone if I feel they won't put the work in themselves. When I teach I do not HOLD HANDS. I guide people to learn and progress on their own. I'll add some touches and sometimes give them information but it's up to them to follow through. If you ever expect people to hand you things then you will always stay in the same place. No one respects nor wants to help people who feel entitled. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself get up and get to work. Make things happen. Ask for help don't ask for the answers. Seek you're own answers and learn your own insight and share that and you'll be surprised how much more accepted you are and how much more people are willing to share with you. But also remember that if you ask someone how something is they may not like it. It's ok if what you do isn't good, but knowing why and understanding why is more important. That is how we grow. Not complaining and crying and sitting back and waiting for something to happen. Want respect then EARN IT MARITESS!!!! Want to be the best card magician out there then WORK AT IT. Reading books and investing money doesn't take the place of hard work and understanding. It's sad that she thinks other wise………… Shame on you Maritess..
If you want here's a link to a YouTube Video of her doing 3Fly. The way she's always done it…
What do you think?

Sum It Up
A Thousand and Ninety-Eight Victories, a Couple of Irrelevant Losses, and a Life in Perspective
morePat Summitt, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history and bestselling author of Reach for the Summitt and Raise The Roof, tells for the first time her remarkable story of victory and resilience as well as facing down her greatest challenge: early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Pat Summitt was only 21 when she became head coach of the Tennessee Vols women's basketball team. For 38 years, she has broken records, winning more games than any NCAA team in basketball history. She has coached an undefeated season, co-captained the first women's Olympic team, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and has been named Sports Illustrated 'Sportswoman of the Year'.
She owes her coaching success to her personal struggles and triumphs. She learned to be tough from her strict, demanding father. Motherhood taught her to balance that rigidity with communication and kindness. She is a role model for the many women she's coached; 74 of her players have become coaches.
Pat's life took a shocking turn in 2011, when she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible brain condition that affects 5 million Americans. Despite her devastating diagnosis, she led the Vols to win their sixteenth SEC championship in March 2012. Pat continues to be a fighter, facing this new challenge the way she's faced every other--with hard work, perseverance, and a sense of humor.

We do our best to have ourselves booked every day that we are open. Often times we can make room for little tattoos between the larger ones, given enough notice and a large window of opportunity. Sometimes we have immediate availability due to a no show.
Sure, we book up, but it is about quality over quantity. That being said, Dave tries to keep a couple of spots open every couple of weeks. Please note that our slowest times are right before a payday and when rent is due. Plan ahead and pay in full before your appointment.

AECOM Awarded US$15.6-million First Year Of Renewable Contract For Ghana's Western Corridor Gas Infrastructure Development Project
AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of professional technical and management support services for public and private clients in more than 140 countries around the world, announced today that it has been awarded a US$15.6-million first-year contract for the Western Corridor Gas Infrastructure Development Project (WCGIDP) by the Ghana National Gas Company. The contract is renewable annually.
The Ghana National Gas Company is currently executing the project on a fast-track basis. The project primarily consists of a 27-mile shallow-water section of the offshore pipeline from Ghana's Jubilee Field to Atuabo; a gas-processing plant at Atuabo; a 68-mile onshore pipeline from Atuabo to Aboadze; a 46-mile onshore lateral pipeline from Essiama to Prestea; a natural gas liquids export system in Domunli; and other infrastructure such as storage facilities and an office complex.
AECOM will provide full program management services, including consultancy and construction supervision as well as technical training and professional capacity building, during the entire development of the project.
The WCGIDP is designed to generate employment, new infrastructure and economic growth for Ghana while providing electricity to the public at a much lower cost and enhancing the competitiveness of the country's industries. The project also supports the nation's goal to become a petroleum-processing hub and a preferred exporter of power in western Africa.The gas provided by the project to Ghanaians is expected to meet their consumption needs and eliminate the periodic shortages that occur. Furthermore, the gas provided will replace wood fuels and will help reduce deforestation. "This is a great project that will directly benefit the local economy and communities in Ghana, and we are excited to play a key role in driving progress in the region," said AECOM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio. "This project also reflects the ongoing success of AECOM's diversified growth strategy as we expand further in the oil and gas sector as well as emerging geographies."

Ask the Vet
The Skinny on Grain
by Lydia F. Gray, DVM, MA
Hello, we own a 5 year old thoroughbred and he is not picky about what he eats. His weight is good and is in good condition. We feed him regular old grain and hay. We also have him on Platinum Performance. I have read many articles about grain, and it's not good for horses. What should I look for when picking out what is good grain? (I need a simple way to check what to look for in grain). Is it better to cut back on the grain and feed more hay? Is there something better to feed him other than the grain? Thank you, Cassie.
Dear Cassie,
I love your phrase "regular old grain and hay" like there's fancy stuff out there your horse is missing out on! Consider yourself lucky that you have a horse in good weight. That means you don't have to go to great lengths to add or subtract calories in his diet. Now you can just focus on providing high quality hay, the most important part of his diet, and completing and balancing things with fortified grain, if necessary, or a ration balancer or multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.
AAEP has a wonderful brochure called "Hay quality and Horse Nutrition: Evaluation your horse's nutritional needs." There's also an article on their website called "10 Tips for Choosing the Best Hay for Your Horse." I encourage you to check out both these resources to make sure his forage is top-notch.
The second part of your homework is to weigh your horse's current serving of grain. If it's less than what's recommended on the bag for his age, weight and workload, then you should (gradually) switch to a ration balancer or multi-vitamin. In an attempt to cut down on his calories to keep him at his current weight, you've also inadvertently cut down on his vitamins and minerals. Better to feed the recommended amount of the appropriate product than a portion of the wrong product. Other than the sugars and starches in most grains that most horses don't need or do well on, to me the biggest problem feeding fortified grain is that hardly anyone does it right, not that there's some mysterious quality issue. Know what you're feeding and why (and how much) and your horse will thank you!

KiOR's CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
The company cautions that a number of important factors could cause our actual future results and other future circumstances to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements.
These important factors and other factors that could potentially effect the company's financial results are described in the section called Risk Factors in the company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in the company's other filing with the SEC, which are available through the Investor Relations section of the KiOR website at www.kior.com or on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
The company may change its intention, believe or expectations at any time and without noticed based any changes in such factors in assumptions or otherwise. The company undertakes no obligation to release publicly and relation to any forward-looking statements to affect events or circumstances after today to or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated events. Therefore you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the company's views as of any date subsequent to today.
Now, I would turn the call over to Fred Cannon.Fred Cannon Thanks Max. Good day. I would like to talk to you about another strong quarter of execution and progress for the KiOR team. First, our research and development team has created a new generation catalyst platform that is going to have a substantial positive impact on the economics of future plans. Next, commissioning of our Columbus facility remains on track and we are getting ready to startup the facility in September. Given the typical startup issues that we expect to face, we remain confident that our cellulosic gasoline and diesel will be an American cars and trucks during the fourth quarter of this year. We are closing the Columbus construction books and can report that the final actual costs for construction of the facility will come in about 4% less than our previously estimated costs of $222 million.

DA: Geico Tipped Off Investigators Of Auto body Insurance Fraud
The current condition of Boro Park's Perfect Collision Auto Body Shop is less than ideal after the owner and a worker wound up in jail on Thursday.
King's County District Attorney Charles Hynes says they committed insurance fraud multiple times.
According to the DA, here's how it worked: a car comes into the body shop with minor damage. Then investigators say the employees with Perfect Collision would bang it up a little more then turn in the claim to customer's insurance company, then they get that extra cash and put it in their pockets.
Tipped off by Geico, investigators set up a sting. They took an undercover vehicle and documented the damage through pictures then notified the insurance adjuster BEFORE they brought the car into Perfect Collision. The next day they say they caught the criminals in the act.
District Attorney Charles Hynes said in a press conference on Thursday, "The defendant Elie Berger showed the car to the adjuster who not surprisingly found the damage to the vehicle was much greater than the previous day."
What's more - between the owner's shop and his home -investigators also found $700,000 in cash.
Owner Elie Berger and worker Hershy Greenberger were indicted on four counts of insurance fraud and two counts of grand larceny.
To get their side of the story, PIX 11 went to the body shop in Boro Park.
Berger's friend of 15 years, Nuchem Fried insisted, "He has a heart of gold," adding, "I can't see Elie doing anything like this."
In fact, some friends say he was framed. Joe Kestenbaum said, "This is probably done by his competition or people trying to get him out of business."
Berger bonded out of jail with $25,000 but he wouldn't come to the door of the shop to comment.
While Perfect Collision had to close its doors for the day, friends say the shop will be back in business first thing in the morning.
If convicted, Berger faces up to 14 years in prison and Greenberger faces up to 7 years.Copyright © 2014, The Baltimore Sun

I would throw these into my gear box and might rummage for other scuba items needed for a dive. I wanted to have a secure box so that I could protect my valuables. The dry box is just the right size and has two secure latches to keep everything inside safe. Just what I needed.
Innovative Waterproof Dry Box 1000 Reviews
Reviewer: Steve B. on 2/22/2014Waterproof box wont stand up to pressure - This box is ideal for holding your ID, a credit card and a room key and it will keep everything dry at the beach or in the rain, but dont expect your stuff to stay dry if you take it on a dive. It just isnt made to withstand the pressure of a 60-foot dive.

Miso, a Japanese flavoring, is made by fermenting cooked soybeans. White and yellow misos are mild; dark varieties have more complex flavors.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, ginger and garlic and saute until the tomatoes are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Whisk in the miso until dissolved. Add the tofu, mushrooms and watercress and simmer until the tofu is heated through and the mushrooms and watercress are softened, about 1 minute.
Ladle into warmed individual bowls and garnish with the green onion. Serve immediately.
This recipe is one of 150 recipes collected in The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook, published by Mayo Clinic Health Information and Oxmoor House, and winner of the 2005 James Beard award.

Classic Games to Collect
With vibrant lithographed imagery, turn-of-the-century parlor games claim a monopoly on fun.
By Katy McColl
Most decks of the era emphasized the pairing of images, as in Old Maid. But this 1897 edition of Parker Brothers Black Cat Fortune Telling Game, worth $150, catered to the Victorian fascination with tarot.
