UPDATE: Citigroup Downgrades Finish Line to Neutral on Near-Term Uncertainty
Citigroup reduced its rating on Finish Line (NASDAQ: FINL) from Buy to Neutral and reduced its price target from $30 to $20.
Citigroup noted, "We are downgrading FINL to Neutral from Buy given the lack of potential positive catalysts over the next several qtrs. While we continue to believe FINL is strongly positioned for the longer term w/its premium offering & omni-channel investments, we expect the co's Q3 miss and reduced outlook to weigh on FINL shares for the near-term. In addition, Macy's startup expenses will likely weigh on results for the next several qtrs. We would be more interested in getting back involved once: a) the co. improves its mix, and b) Macy's starts to contribute."
Finish Line closed at $17.94 on Friday.

ABSTRACT: Cyclin G1 deficiency is associated with reduced incidence of carcinogen-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its function in HCC progression remains obscure. We report a critical role of cyclin G1 in HCC metastasis. Elevated expression of cyclin G1 was detected in HCCs (60.6%), and its expression levels were even higher in portal vein tumor thrombus. Clinicopathological analysis revealed a close correlation of cyclin G1 expression with distant metastasis and poor prognosis of HCC. Forced expression of cyclin G1 promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Cyclin G1 overexpression enhanced Akt activation through interaction with p85 (regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase [PI3K]), which led to subsequent phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and stabilization of Snail, a critical EMT mediator. These results suggest that elevated cyclin G1 facilitates HCC metastasis by promoting EMT via PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/Snail-dependent pathway. Consistently, we have observed a significant correlation between cyclin G1 expression and p-Akt levels in a cohort of HCC patients, and found that combination of these two parameters is a more powerful predictor of poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Cyclin G1 plays a pivotal role in HCC metastasis and may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.Hepatology 01/2012; 55(6):1787-98. · 11.19 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and cyclin D1 are both key mediators of cell growth and proliferation in normal and cancer cells. However, the interrelation between HIF and cyclin D1 remains unclear. In the present study, we observed the inverse correlation between cyclin D1 and HIF-1 in hypoxia condition. Overexpression of the dominant negative mutant of HIF-1alpha (DN-HIF) significantly enhanced cyclin D1 expression upon hypoxia or arsenite exposure, suggesting the negative regulation of cyclin D1 by HIF-1. Furthermore, we found that the impairment of HIF-1 increased cyclin D1 expression in A549 pulmonary cancer cells, which in turn promoted G1-S cell cycle transition and cell proliferation. Cyclin D1 expression was increased in s.c. xenograft of DN-HIF stably transfected A549 cells in nude mice compared with that of control cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay revealed that HIF-1 was able to directly bind to the promoter region of cyclin D1, which indicates that the negative regulation of cyclin D1 by HIF-1 is through a direct mechanism. Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) by pretreatment of cells with trichostatin A or specific knockdown of HDAC7 by its shRNA antagonized the suppression of cyclin D1 by HIF-1, suggesting that HDAC7 is required for HIF-1-mediated cyclin D1 downregulation. Moreover, we found that 5-fluorouracil-triggered apoptosis of DN-HIF-transfected A549 cells was reduced by sicyclin D1 (cyclin D1-specific interference RNA) introduction, suggesting that clinical observation of HIF-1 overexpression-associated chemoresistance might be, at least partially, due to the negative regulation of cyclin D1.Cancer Research 02/2010; 70(5):2010-9. · 9.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (B[a]PDE), the major metabolite of B[a]P, has been well recognized as one ubiquitous carcinogen, but the molecular mechanism involved in its carcinogenic effect remains obscure. In the present study, we found that bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B) and hepatocytes treated with B[a]PDE presented a significant increase of cyclin D1 expression. Moreover, Akt, p70(s6k), and MAPKs including JNK, Erks, and p38 were notably activated in B[a]PDE-treated Beas-2B cells, whereas NF-kappaB, NFAT, and Egr-1 were not. Our results demonstrated that JNK and Erks were required in B[a]PDE-induced cyclin D1 expression because the inhibition of JNK or Erks by a selective chemical inhibitor or dominant negative mutant robustly impaired the cyclin D1 induction by B[a]PDE. Furthermore, we found that overexpression of the dominant negative mutant of p85 (regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) or Akt dramatically suppressed B[a]PDE-induced JNK and Erk activation as well as cyclin D1 expression, suggesting that cyclin D1 induction by B[a]PDE is via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt/MAPK-dependent pathway. In addition, we clarified that p70(s6k) is also involved in B[a]PDE-induced cyclin D1 expression because rampamycin pretreatment dramatically reduced cyclin D1 induction by B[a]PDE. More importantly, we demonstrated that up-regulated cyclin D1 by B[a]PDE plays a critical role in oncogenic transformation and tumorigenesis of Beas-2B cells. These results not only broaden our knowledge of the molecular mechanism of B[a]PDE carcinogenicity but also lead to the further study of chemoprevention of B[a]PDE-associated human cancers.Journal of Biological Chemistry 09/2009; 284(48):33311-9. · 4.60 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Frequent exposure to nickel compounds has been considered as one of the potential causes of human lung cancer. However, the molecular mechanism of nickel-induced lung carcinogenesis remains obscure. In the current study, slight S-phase increase, significant G(2)/M cell cycle arrest, and proliferation blockage were observed in human bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B) upon nickel exposure. Moreover, the induction of cyclin D1 and cyclin E by nickel was shown for the first time in human pulmonary cells, which may be involved in nickel-triggered G(1)/S transition and cell transformation. In addition, we verified that hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha, an important transcription factor of nickel response, was not required for the cyclin D1 or cyclin E induction. The role of p53 in nickel-induced G(2)/M arrest was excluded, respecting that its protein level, ser(15) phosphorylation, and transcriptional activity were not changed in nickel response. Further study revealed that cyclin A was not activated in nickel response, and cyclin B1, which not only promotes G(2)/M transition but also prevents M-phase exit of cells if not degraded in time, was up-regulated by nickel through a manner independent of hypoxia-inducible factor. More importantly, our results verified that overexpressed cyclin B1, veiling the effect of cyclin D1 or cyclin E, mediated nickel-caused M-phase blockage and cell growth inhibition, which may render pulmonary cells more sensitive to DNA damage and facilitates cancer initiation. These results will not only deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in nickel carcinogenecity, but also lead to the further study on chemoprevention of nickel-associated human cancer.Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention 07/2009; 18(6):1720-9. · 4.56 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: A model of intrahepatic portal hypertension was established in SD rats by injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). By observing the opening angle of the portal vein, the zero-stress state of the portal veins was studied at different time during the pathogenesis of intrahepatic portal hypertension. After CCl4 injection, the opening angles of the portal veins were increased, in the tenth week, they were much greater than those in the corresponding controls (P<0.05). The results suggest that during the pathogenesis of portal hypertension, unequal remodeling exists in the portal veins to change its biomechanical properties, and the residual stress and strain of the portal veins in portal hypertensive rats are greater than those in normal controls.Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi 09/2006; 23(4):753-5. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To improve the diagnosis and management of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Clinical data of 22 cases of PBC were reviewed including the clinical manifestation, laboratory test, and the response to therapy. There were 20 female patients with an average of 50 years old in total of 22 PBC patients. The major symptoms were pruritus, fatigue, anorexia, and abdominal discomfort. The major signs included jaundice, hepatomegaly, splenmegaly, and ascites. Very high levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and serum gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), hyperbilirubinemia and hypergammaglobulinemia were also detected in most of the patients. The aminotransferase level was only slightly elevated but the AST/ALT ratio was reversed. It took 8 months (ranging from 2 months to 5 years) to confirm the diagnosis after the clinical manifestation onset. Ursodeoxycholic acid could decrease the serum levels of ALP and bilirubin in 80% of the patients (12/15) and improve the symptom of pruritus and fatigue in 72.7% of the patients (11/15). PBC mainly affects middle-aged women and the main clinical manifestations are hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, pruritus, and fatigue. Liver function test typically reveal a cholestatic pattern accompanied by hypergammagloblinemia and a positive antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) including M2 subtype (AMA-M2). Ursodeoxycholic acid could improve the abnormal liver function tests and clinical features in PBC patientsZhonghua gan zang bing za zhi = Zhonghua ganzangbing zazhi = Chinese journal of hepatology 11/2002; 10(5):344-5. - Zhonghua gan zang bing za zhi = Zhonghua ganzangbing zazhi = Chinese journal of hepatology 11/2002; 10(5):383.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effect of lovastatin on proliferation and extracellular matrix secretion of hepatic stellate cells in vitro. Rat hepatic stellate cells were incubated with different concentration of lovastatin and geranyl geranypyrophosphate. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT colorimetric assay. Cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry. Type IV collagen and laminin were determined by ELISA, and c-jun and c-fos expression by immunocytochemistry and computer video text analysis system. Addition of 0.1 to 50 micromol/L lovastatin into culture medium had no toxicity to hepatic stellate cells, but could significantly inhibit hepatic stellate cell proliferation and provoke G0/G1 phase arrest in dose-dependent manner, and could also markedly inhibit the c-jun and c-fos expression and type IV collagen and laminin secretion, which could partly be antagonized by geranyl geranypyrophosphate. Lovastatin can significantly inhibit hepatic stellate cell proliferation and type IV collagen and laminin secretion, which might be partly related to its inhibitory effect on geranyl geranypyrophosphate formation.Zhonghua gan zang bing za zhi = Zhonghua ganzangbing zazhi = Chinese journal of hepatology 11/2002; 10(5):370-3. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rhTNF) on telomerase activity and promoter expression of catalytic protein subunit–human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in hepatoma cell lines HepG2 cells and HepG1-6.METHODS: The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase– enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method (TRAP-ELISA) was used to determine telomerase activity in HepG2 and HepG1-6 cells that had been treated with different concentrations of rhTNF. The plasmid TERTluc(800), which contained 800 bp of the hTERT promoter, was transiently transfected into HepG2 cells by using Lipofect, and different concentrations of rhTNF were added into the culture media 2 h later. The activity of the hTERT promoter was tested 48 h after transfection.RESULTS: The telomerase activity of hepatoma cells was suppressed by rhTNF in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the transient transfection of HepG2 cells with the TERTluc(800) plasmid revealed that hTERT promoter activity is not affected by 10 IU/mL rhTNF, whereas the expression of the hTERT promoter is inhibited by rhTNF at concentrations ranging from 10 to 1000 IU/mL; the extent of inhibition is linearly related to the rhTNF concentration. The activity of the hTERT promoter in cells treated with 1000 IU/mL of rhTNF decreased to 60.3% of that of the control. No extra suppressive effect was observed when a concentration of 10 000 IU/mL was used.CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the antitumor activity of rhTNF may be attributed to its inhibitory effect on hTERT promoter expression. Together with other studies, it may indicate that telomerase is not only involved in carcinogenesis, but is also one of the main targets of anticancer cytokines. Further analysis of the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of telomerase by TNF and isolation of the related transcription factor may provide new means for cancer gene therapy.Chinese Journal of Digestive Diseases 12/2001; 2(4):198 - 201.

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon -- when she innocently touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach -- an "outlander" -- in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny is soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidding Castle Leoch. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life...and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Doctors ease into electronic records; barriers to braodband expansion; and the decade's biggest data losses
Physician offices have increased their use of electronic health records by 9.7 percent in the past year, according to a survey by research firm SK&A. In the United States, 36.1 percent of medical offices now use EHRs, compared with 32.9 percent a year ago.
Electronic records form a major component of the Obama administration's plans for improving the nation's health care, and $17 billion in incentives for adopting EHRs were included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

text: Invasive Species and Protected Areas Managing the increasing threat of Invasive Species in Protected Areas in Africa Are we inadvertently protecting invasive species in protected areas – with resulting impacts on protected biodiversity and re-invasion of other areas in the future? Introduction Biological invasions come about when a species is introduced to an area (or ecosystem) to which it is not native and when it establishes there, spreads and causes damage to biodiversity, human health or development. The species causing the problem is then called an invasive species (or invasive alien species). The resulting interaction between the invading species and the affected ecosystem is called biological invasion. In this International Year of Biodiversity we are increasingly aware of the fact that invasive species are one of the biggest drivers of biodiversity loss and are most concerned about the impact of invasive species in protected areas – which have long been thought of a safe refuges for animals and plants but are now under increasing threats from invasive plants and animals. The Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) has experience of this severe threat to biological diversity and wants to share its experiences. Protected areas in Africa are one of the main ways in which we can conserve the rich biodiversity of the continent and enhance economic growth through tourism and associated activities. However, we assume that once protected from unsustainable use, fire and other threats, the biodiversity within them will be preserved for future generations. Unfortunately Protected Area boundaries cannot stop the incursion and subsequent establishment of these problematic species which may largely negate the purpose of a protected area. Such invasions are often difficult to detect early in their development and are more often than not only recognised once they become problematic . The following is an attempt to bring this issue to the forefront of protected area management and so biodiversity conservation. There is also a very real worry that protected areas may inadvertently be protecting invasive species which can then re-invade other areas of production or other uses essential to peoples' livelihoods. Presence of invasive species in protected areas Most protected areas (be they National Parks, Nature Reserves, Forest Reserves or other areas of key biodiversity) harbour some invasive species with new introductions occurring at an increasing rate. However, few Protected Area managers and their associated staff, especially in developing countries, are aware of this threat or are they able to address it. The Global Invasive Species Programme and partners have worked in many countries in Africa on a range of issues related to protected areas and has information derived from projects, surveys, and interactions with biodiversity conservation practitioners. While some countries in Africa have protected area management systems that take note of, and manage, biological invasions, the vast majority don't have the capacity or resources to identify invasive species; are largely unaware of their impacts; and, more importantly, don't possess the necessary information and equipment to actually manage them. Biological invasions have been detected in many types of terrestrial and freshwater systems – mainly comprised of alien higher plants but also including lower plants and a few animals. Alien and invading vertebrates are rare in these systems although a few species of fish, fewer birds and even fewer mammals have been detected over the years. Many invasive plants, however, are both widespread and spreading – ranging from herbs and grasses to climbers, shrubs and trees – in most cases originating from tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world outside of continental Africa. Impacts of biological invasions in protected areas Invading plants in protected areas are important because of their impacts on the integrity and conservation of biodiversity such as:- • Disturbance and disruption of native vegetation and loss of local plant populations • Competition with locally-important plants – for space, light, nutrients, water • Possible local extinction of native plant species and the organisms associated with them • Spread of allelopathic substances (noxious plant chemicals) by invading species which prevent germination and growth of native plants and inhibit restoration of ecosystems • Disruption of ecosystem services and natural processes such as energy, nutrient and hydrological cycling • Providing conditions for other possibly invasive species to establish in a changed ecosystem • Disruption or removal of food, cover, nesting and resting resources for native animals • Negative impacts on pollination of native vegetation • Bringing pests and diseases that can affect native vegetation to its detriment • Increase threats of fire and soil erosion • Increase security problems – by providing hiding places for illegal hunters or plant collectors in PAs Some examples The UNEP-GEF project "Removing barriers to the management of invasive plants in Africa" has enabled several countries to identify and begin to manage several serious invasions in their protected areas, such as: Mimosa pigra in Zambia – "Giant mimosa" is a spiny shrub that established on the Kafue Floodplain in a national park in Zambia in the early 1980s and has since spread to cover 3,0000 hectares of prime floodplain habitat thereby excluding animals and plants from their natural habitat – including the endemic, aquatic Kafue Lechwe Antelope, many large and important waterbirds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates and plants. The Government of Zambia has provided significant financial and technical support through its agencies responsible for 2 conservation and environment to address this serious problem – which has already spread to another nearby protected area. Foreign tree and shrub species in forests in Ghana – Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera), a tree, native to China, was introduced to the Afram Headwaters Reserve in Ghana for pulp and paper production. It has escaped cultivation and together with triffid weed (Chromolaena odorata) has invaded hundreds of hectares of the Reserve which lies within the eastern portion of the Upper Guinea forest block, a biodiversity hotspot. This invasion has resulted in the displacement of number of native plant and animal species. Invasive plants in forests and savanna's of Uganda - Paper mulberry has also invaded the Mabira Forest Reserve while spectacular cassia (Senna spectabilis) poses a threat to biodiversity in the Budongo Forest Reserve which is regarded as Uganda's second most important bird area for species of the Guinea-Congo Forests biome. It also has some unique concentrations of trees and other vegetation not found together elsewhere in the region. The Mburo National Park, has been invaded by citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus), which is known to displace native grassland species while biodiversity in the Queen Elizabeth National Park is threatened by invasive lantana (Lantana camara) and feverfew (Parthenium hysterophorus). Mesquite in Ethiopia and Kenya – Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora) is one of the most widespread invasive species in north and east Africa having already invaded 500 000 and 700 000 ha. in Kenya and Ethiopia, respectively. It has the ability, under ideal conditions, to double its range every 5 years. It displaces native plants such as acacias and important fodder species and wildlife and has a negative impact on underground water resources, especially in semi-arid and arid regions. It is present in many Protected Areas including the Awash National Park in Ethiopia, and in Kenya it has invaded the Tsavo National Park and a number of National Reserves. Lantana in many protected areas – Lantana camara is an invasive shrub from tropical Amercia which has spread in many wild and cultivated areas across Africa. It is now present in proteted areas studied by the project in Ethiopia, Ghana, Uganda and Zambia where it has replaced native vegetation, suppressed the regrowth of local plants, blocked access to food plants of wild animals and generally changed the nature of many wild places. Efforts are being made to manage it locally in protected areas using mechanical means, herbicides and introduced biocontrol agents Reporting of invasive species in protected areas in Africa The first step to address biological invasions in protected areas is to appreciate the very real threat they pose to biodiversity conservation and the significant likelihood that some alien species will be introduced (unintentionally or through natural processes from invasions outside the protected area) and then to recognize any non-native animals or plants. This becomes more amenable if the presence of non-native species is among the items recorded in regular monitoring and inspection of a protected area. The process recommended by IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) and other concerned conservation organisations is termed "management effectiveness" whereby the achievements of stated objectives of protected area management plans are regularly assessed through monitoring of key aspects of biodiversity – including the presence of non-native species. Such species can then be assessed as possible threats to the integrity of the biodiversity in the protected area, monitored at regular intervals and action taken if they are seen to spread with negative impacts on local species. Protected area staff regularly move around their areas for many reasons and so are able to monitor areas of most important biodiversity as well as localities most likely to be impacted by biological 3 invasions. Alien species are most likely to enter protected areas through "pathways" of invasion such as entry gates, access roads, tourist circuits, accommodation inside or near the protected area, places subject to wild and domestic animal movement from outside the PA, places subject to flooding from water that originates outside the PA, and proximity to areas of development, farming and residence. A growing and active pathway is the construction of new roads which not only spreads species by moving soil but can also bring seeds and other propagules on and in machinery brought in from other areas and countries. Solutions to the problem Awareness – as mentioned above, the first requirement is to be aware of the likelihood of biological invasion in any protected areas. This is significant and has been shown to be amongst the greatest threats to the integrity of biodiversity in protected areas, if not the greatest threat. Awareness can be spread to all who work in a protected area so that any staff (or even visitors) may contribute to the noting of "new or unusual" species. Awareness can be enhanced by the availability of guides for recognition of alien species, those that can become invasive and their management – but these are yet to be developed for most areas within Africa. Recognition – this requires some capacity for "seeing" species that are not part of the resident vegetation or fauna and then access to information to take this further to identification. Many protected areas have resident biologists or ecologists or they occur with a PA network. Following identification is the need for an assessment of the risk that any new species may pose to the biodiversity of the area. This is possible with general information that is available in the literature and on the internet (see Available Information, below) but we still need to develop local inventories and guides for particular ecosystems and countries. Prevention, pathways – It is likely that alien species will enter (or be introduced to) a protected area along the pathways mentioned above – or through others that are special to a particular PA. Prevention related to pathways is carried out by preventing any new species, or species judged to be unwanted (see below), from establishing in the PA. If the species is a plant, it can be removed on first recording by uprooting all individuals and destroying them, preferably before the species flowers or sets seed that may develop into a seed bank that will germinate later and enhance spread. If the new species is an animal, some means of preventing its establishment should be carried out a soon as possible – again, to prevent its possibility of reproducing and becoming too numerous to prevent invasion. Prevention, unwanted species and known invasive pests and weeds – a list of likely invasive species that are already present nearby or in the country or region can be prepared – including known pests and weeds that are considered a risk to the protected area. Then any species detected that is on that list can be eliminated from the protected area as soon as it is detected without need for further identification or risk assessment. Rapid responses – if prevention has not been possible and an alien species judged to be a risk to biodiversity has established in the area, the next most effective procedure is to move as quickly as possible to prevent its continued reproduction and later spread. Action at this stage to eradicate or remove a risky species is far less expensive than "waiting to see" if it becomes a problem – by which time expensive management may be needed. Rapid response is the capacity to act quickly based on correct technical information and risk assessment – action that can prevent invasion. Containment – if the rapid response has not been possible and a foreign species begins to spread, it may be possible to curtail that spread through some form of containment – to reduce the 4 likelihood of the spread of propagules (seeds, plant parts, bulbs, corms, eggs, larvae, other immature stages of animals or those stages of the new plant or animal most likely to move to other places). Management in response to desired objectives – if prevention, rapid response or containment have not been possible or were not effective, and a biological invasion has become established, then management is required to remove the threat to biodiversity. Management should be related to agreed objectives of the protected area – such as removal of all alien species, restoration of damaged habitats or ecosystems, or careful observation of alien species for possible invasive traits. Management of invading species is possible through mechanical means, chemical means (if allowable in the PA concerned) or biological control – or a combination of these three main methods, termed "integrated management". Details of methods of management for particular species or types of invasions are readily available once the species has been identified – on the internet. Capacity building – an essential part of invasive species prevention and management in protected areas is the capacity to understand the issue, to recognize non-native species or unusual growths of native (but unexpected) species, to be able to respond by quick action or eventual management to retain the integrity of the biodiversity of a protected area. Capacity building in this area is possible through projects devoted to that end and through training courses offered by such organizations as the Global Invasive Species Programme. Self training is also possible through many internet websites and familiarity with species likely to cause biological invasions can be developed through the many databases of invasive species information on the web. Available information The IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) has been promoting the concept of management effectiveness as a way of ensuring good practice in protected areas to achieve the results intended by a PA management plan. One of the resolutions of the World Parks Congress in 2003 was to include invasive species issues in management effectiveness as a matter of course and to assess and manage this threat to biodiversity. To date WCPA has been preparing details of how this will work and to support this with guidelines and information – which should be available soon. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has prepared a set of guidelines for addressing biological invasions in protected areas: "Assessing and Managing Invasive Species within Protected Areas. A Quick Guide for Protected Area Practitioners" available at http://www.cbd.int/invasive/doc/ias-tnc-guide-2009-en.pdf as well as on http://www.gisp.org/ A publication is available as a manual for managers of protected areas in African French speaking countries. This is can be referenced as Triplet P. (2009) Manuel de gestion des aires protégées d'Afrique francophone. Awely, Ministère de l'écologie, 1234 pp. it can be downloaded at: http://www.awely.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=158&Itemid=108 This has two chapters on the detection and management of invasive species in protected areas. Much useful information is available on the website of the Global Invasive Species Programme http://www.gisp.org/ and detailed information on many potentially invasive species on the Global Invasive Species Database to be found on http://ww.issg.org/ There are hundreds of databases relating to invasive species issues on the internet which can be accessed through your favourite search engine. 5

April 4, 1971 - The final episode of Hogan's Heroes aired. At six full seasons, Hogan's Heroes ran longer than the event it was based on - World War II. The show was based on a P.O.W. camp in Germany, called Stalag 13. The camp's claim to fame was that there had never been an escape. This was true, mostly because the prisoners came and went as they pleased, right under the German's noses.
Jewish Actors
There has been some controversy over the show. Some say it treats the atrocities of the holocaust with little respect. The fact is though, the sitcom's setting is a P.O.W. camp and not a concentration camp. Ironically, many of the German's in the show were almost all Jewish. The actors who played the four major German roles--Werner Klemperer (Klink), John Banner (Schultz), Leon Askin (Burkhalter) and Howard Caine (Hochstetter)--were Jewish. Furthermore, Klemperer, Banner, Askin and Robert Clary (LeBeau) were Jews who had fled the Nazis during World War II. Clary spent three years in a concentration camp, and his parents and other family members were killed there, and he has an identity tattoo from the camp on his arm. Likewise John Banner had been held in a (pre-war) concentration camp and his family was exterminated during the war. Leon Askin was also in a pre-war French internment camp and his parents were killed at Treblinka. (Source: Wikipedia)
The bottom line is this show had some of the most clever writing and best acting in TV sitcom history. It's currently in re-runs on TV Land. Surprisingly, nearly 40 years after it was cancelled, it's still popular with collectors and fans.

"Hogan's Heroes March" Lyrics
(sung by Hogan's Heroes)
by Jerry Fielding
Heroes, Heroes, husky men of war
Sons of all the Heroes of the war before
We're all heroes up to our ear o's
You ask the questions
We make suggestions
That's what we're heroes for
All good Heroes love a good, big fight
Open up the bomb bays brighten up the night
We earn laurels solving your quarrels
You throw the roses
We punch the noses
That's what we're heroes for
What's a Hero do?
We're never gonna tell ya
Cause we wish we knew
That's why we Heroes are so few
We've got a slogan
from Colonel Hogan
And Colonel Hogan's a Hero too
Never flinch boys never be afraid
Heroes are not born boys Heroes all are made
Ask not why boys never say die boys
Answer the call remember we'll all be Heroes forever more
Thanks to HogansHeroesFanClub.com for the theme and lyrics.

No. 1: Los Angeles Lakers
Wins: 2,970 Playoff wins: 397 Series wins: 102 Titles: 15 All-Stars: 125 |
Best player: Magic Johnson Best coach: Phil Jackson Best team: 1971-72 (69-13, won NBA title) Intangibles: +150. Endless stream of superstars -- on the court and in the seats. |
And those big names won, too. Although the Celtics have more championships, the Lakers have more of everything else -- wins, playoff wins, playoff series wins and conference titles. About the only thing that hurts L.A. in the all-time rankings is the penalty for relocating from Minnesota to Los Angeles in the 1950s.
The story begins with the Mikan years up north, where he led Minneapolis to five championships in six seasons in the formative years of the NBA. As the league's first dominant big man, he established something of a tradition.
- Los Angeles Lakers (1960-Present)
- Minneapolis Lakers (1948-60)
About the only thing the Lakers haven't been able to do is best the Celtics head-to-head. In 11 meetings against Boston in the Finals, L.A. has prevailed just twice -- both coming with Magic and Kareem's teams under Pat Riley in the 1980s. In that regard, Baylor's Minneapolis team got the ball rolling in 1958-59 in the team's last season before heading west, and in the '60s, Chamberlain and West were foiled by the Celtics five times.
Ultimately, those Lakers broke through with a 69-13 season in 1971-72 that featured a 33-game winning streak -- still a record for North American pro team sports -- to win the team's first title in L.A.
After a brief lull in the late '70s, they would get five more rings when Magic arrived to join forces with Kareem. Although there was one more painful loss to Boston interposed -- a seven-game defeat in 1984 -- L.A. avenged it by becoming the first team in nearly two decades to repeat as champs, winning in 1987 and 1988. A hamstring injury to Magic Johnson in the Finals the next year derailed the Lakers' quest for a three-peat, but they would get one a decade and a half later after Phil Jackson came to Tinseltown to guide Shaq and Kobe.
That team provided plenty of last-second excitement -- most notably the alley-oop from Kobe to Shaq that cemented a Game 7 conference finals comeback win over Portland in 2000 -- and produced one of the most dominant playoff runs in history with a 15-1 romp through the field in 2001.
Amazingly, the franchise has missed the playoffs only five times in its 61 years -- for some perspective, the Bobcats have needed just five years to match L.A.'s total. The Lakers, who have played in six Finals in the past decade, are now only two titles behind the hated Celtics after winning the 2009 Finals against the Magic.

County transit system cruising as is for now
LEXINGTON—Rides for passengers who use the Dawson County Transit bus will continue as usual, at least through the end of the calendar year.
During their regular bimonthly meeting on July 13, commissioners reappointed Barb Hollenbeck as director of the transit system through Dec. 31.
Over the past six months, county board members have considered changes to the bus system, including removing it from county responsibility, said clerk Karla Zlatkovsky.
Commissioners have researched transit systems in other Nebraska counties, most of which are run by cities not counties.
But for now, commissioners have decided to continue business as usual.
"I think they're still considering making some changes," Zlatkovsky said. "It would take at least until the end of the year to accomplish that anyway so at least the people who ride the bus aren't left without service."
Also during Friday's meeting, Parent-Child Center director Jennifer Soncksen presented an agency review and made a budget request of $15,000 for the upcoming fiscal year.
The number of clients served by the center jumped dramatically from 2010 to 2011 but has remained steady through 2012, Soncksen told commissioners.
The $15,000 for operating expenses is the same amount Soncksen has requested for the past several years, Zlatkovsky said. Commissioners contributed $9,000 last year.
This budget year, the Parent-Child Center will suffer from a number of federal budget cuts, Soncksen told the board, making the $15,000 more of a necessity.
Zlatkovsky said commissioners will consider the request with all other departments before passing the budget in September.
In other business, the board:
heard the monthly crime report from sheriff Gary Reiber, who noted that calls for service dropped from May to June.
renewed the annual contract with Seth Tausan, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service specialist, for wildlife control services. The contract price of $9,132 is unchanged from last year.
voted to change voluntary life insurance providers for county employees to Lincoln Financial through the Krull Agency of Hastings. For $170 more per month overall, the county can increase the employee life insurance benefit from $2,500 to $10,000.
tabled action on a Central Platte Natural Resources District hazard mitigation plan because the large document was not received in time. It will be considered at a future meeting.

After the real-estate-sales surge of 15 transactions for two consecutive weeks in mid-July, realty activity on the keys slipped back to seven for the final week of the month. This demonstrates the inconsistencies in the market's struggle to come back.
None of the week's seven sales recordings for July 27 through July 31 reached $1 million or more for the first time since the last week in May, although a Bay Isles home and a Tangerine Bay Club condominium each sold for slightly less than $1 million.
Tangerine Bay Club
Joy Moravitz, of Pittsburgh, bought Unit 229 at the 90-unit Tangerine Bay Club, 350 Gulf of Mexico Drive, for $980,000 from Sherry Dominick and her husband, Craig Wright, as both individuals and through their revocable trusts of New Haven, Conn.
The three-bedroom, three-bath apartment was built in 1992 and has 2,274 square feet of living space. The Wrights bought the condominium for $850,000 in March 2004.
Bay Isles
Mary and George Buermann, of Lakewood Ranch, sold their Bay Isles Unit 7 home at 3681 Bayou Circle to Guy-Pierre Poerck for $975,000.
The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home was built in 2000 and has 3,060 square feet of living area and a swimming pool.
The Buermanns, originally from Essex Fell, N.J., bought the property for $172,500 in December 1996 before building their new home in 2000.
Sea Gate Club
Gloria and Harry Fuld, from Plainview, N.Y., purchased Unit 11-D in the 15-story, 90-unit Sea Gate Club tower on the Gulf beach at 2425 Gulf of Mexico Drive for $525,000. The sellers were Beatrice Krakoff and James Feibel, both individually and as co-trustees of Beatrice Krakoff's and Louis Krakoff's living trusts, of Columbus, Ohio.
The two-bedroom, two-bath condominium was built in 1973 when Sea Gate Club was constructed as one of the tallest buildings on Longboat Key. The other is the 15-story Islands West tower.
The condominium has 1,470 square feet of living space. The Krakoffs acquired the condo for $299,000 in March 1995.
Privateer North
A year after Sea Gate Club was constructed at 1050 Longboat Club Road, the twin-tower Privateer and Privateer North were completed. The 12-story towers contained 58 dwelling units in each building, or a total 116 apartments.
There was a sale at Privateer North in which Christine Morris and her husband, Gabriel DuMont Jr., of Boston, purchased Unit 903 for $370,000 from Lawrence Einhorn, of Indianapolis, and Roberta Jennison, of Clifton Park, N.Y.
The 35-year-old, two-bedroom, two-bath condominium has 1,409 square feet of air-conditioned living space.
Country Club Shores Unit V
In a sale between two corporate investment companies, MH Invest LLC, of Bird Key, sold the vacant waterfront property at 530 Birdie Lane in Unit V of Country Club Shores to Florida Capital Projects LLC, 501 Harbor Gate Way, for $360,000.
The deed of sale was signed by Michael Moulton, MH Invest's manager.
The property last sold for $1.06 million in April 2005.
Whitney Beach
Unit 101 on the bayside of Whitney Beach was purchased by Barbara and John Thurston, of Orillia, Ontario, for $310,000 from Lynn and John Redd II, of Wilmington, Vt.
The two-bedroom, two-bath condo at 6700 Gulf of Mexico Drive was constructed in 1969 by the late Paul Neal, father of prominent local developer and former Florida Sen. Pat Neal.
The Redds paid $195,000 for the condominium in April 1999.
Lido Shores
Gerald Finger and his wife, Marguerite Dye, of Sarasota, sold their Lido Key home at 295 Morningside Drive, in what is commonly referred to as Lido Shores, to Audrie Sonzogni, from Long Valley, N.J., for $735,000.
The three-bedroom, three-bath residence was constructed in 1973 and has 2,776 square feet of living space. The Fingers purchased the home for $300,000 in December 1998.
Kent Chetlain is a veteran Florida journalist and historian, a former Manatee County commissioner and a holder of a Florida real-estate license. He has chronicled real-estate activity in this area since 1957.

A former staff sergeant in the Air Force. An airplane mechanic who repaired oxygen masks. A master massage therapist, registered medical assistant, and certified laser technician. Tina Long is all of these things and more. As the owner of Parker Med Spa, she combines her unique background with innovative technology to offer clients the latest anti-aging and beauty solutions.
Long helps her clients to deal with the frustration of weight loss with body-contouring treatments such as the Zerona and Yolo laser systems, having herself lost pounds, inches, and degrees of insulation with the fat-emulsifying devices. The historical ambiance, array of facial and body treatments, and advanced technology earned her spa recognition on ABC 7 and CityVoter's 2011 A-List; it was named a finalist in the Best Day Spa category and nominated in the Best Medical Spa category.
The practice is located within the charming yellow Hoskins House, a century-old Victorian landmark surrounded by cottonwood trees, complete with a porch swing. Inside, massage therapists and aestheticians perform relaxing massages, hot-stone pedicures, and skin-rejuvenating chemical peels in 15 private rooms. Technicians use seven different lasers to perform procedures ranging from vein and hair removal to nonsurgical face-lifts.
A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all of the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray-tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
Kelly Renader, licensed aesthetician at Skin and Body Lounge, works closely with her clients to determine potential remedies for skin issues such as acne, fine lines, and sun damage. In caring for clients, she proposes results-oriented regimens fortified by Image Skincare products that include treatments such as acne-fighting facials, skin-tightening ?face lifts,? and even back treatments. The spa also offers exfoliating chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments in packages of three and five.
Skin and Body Lounge?s skincare options are only the beginning of their services. The team also offers full body waxing, specializing in Brazilian waxes and brow shaping.
At Miss Faces Skin Care, the custom ingredients of a pore-cleansing European facial are unique to each recipient??however, the resulting feel-good sensations aren?t. That's because the spa whips up fresh batches of melt-in-your-chair relaxation with every visit. Teresa DiPaolo, a licensed aesthetician in the Parker area for more than 15 years, uses a gentle wax imported from France to remove unwanted hair, and boosts outer allure with head-to-toe treatments such as exfoliating body polishes. Most of all, though, Teresa magnifies clients? natural beauty with an array of facial treatments, which help erase wear and tear caused by aging, the weather, and volunteering as an assistant for William Tell impersonators.
Laguna Skin Care owner and licensed aesthetician Crystal Harmon knows many tricks for clarifying complexions and keeping skin looking healthy and radiant. Her customized facials, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion treatments help reduce the signs of aging by smoothing out fine lines and locating the factory reset button on the client's face. Crystal is also certified to administer permanent makeup, during which she draws thin, delicate strokes over skin to enhance eyebrows, eyes, and lips. Laguna Skin Care's menu of treatments also includes airbrush tanning sessions and eyelash-extension application with Xtreme Lashes.
RaVive Health & Vitality offers medically supervised programs in health and wellness. The clinic's experts offer comprehensive weight-loss programs aimed at sustainable weight loss, aided by lab testing, nutritional supplements, counseling, and workshops. The clinic also offers services such as teeth whitening, facial treatments, peels, and massage therapy.

Bringing better care to vets. Walders improved the health care and rehabilitation of wounded warriors by creating the Joint Medical Network. It centralizes patient information and tracks visits to medical services, such as counseling and pain management clinics, so that medical professionals can see the whole picture of a patient's condition and treatment. Since the network's implementation, the number of incidents and trouble tickets has dropped by 95 percent. "Walders has created a superior health care-driven IT environment that is the foundation for delivering world-class health care," said Col. Michael Adames, deputy commander for administration at Walter Reed.

The Denmark international, who is on loan at the Serie A club from Arsenal, has scored 22 goals in 55 games for his country but will miss a number of World Cup qualifiers after being caught driving on the wrong side of the road on Saturday evening.
"I am incredibly sorry for my actions. I can truly say, that this is the worst day of my life," Bendtner said while speaking in front of the Copenhagen District Court. "At the same time I take full responsibility for it, for what I have done, but I must go on. I cannot describe how much pain I am going through, but now I want to do all I can to come back strong."
Bendtner's spell with the Italian champions has been blighted by injury. The 25-year-old has yet to score since moving to Turin and has made just eight appearances in Serie A.

Looking to the future and making exciting, inspirational and, maybe, even sometimes grandiose claims of what can be and the "big things" we are capable of when we all work together, is part and parcel of almost every State of the Union Address, and it seems we Americans are more than willing to eat it up nearly every time. Having said that, I thought President Obama's State of the Union Address last night was great. I liked his emphasis on innovation as a crucial tool for making the U.S. more competitive. I was glad to hear that he is calling for Congress to cut the "billions in taxpayer dollars" our government hands out to oil companies. "I don't know if you've noticed, but they're doing just fine on their own," he quipped. "So, instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy, let's invest in tomorrow's." And, he did point out that, being the nation that "built the transcontinental railroad; brought electricity to rural communities; and constructed the interstate highway system, which created jobs not by just laying down tracks or pavement" but by enabling businesses to "open near a town's new train station or the new off-ramp," the U.S. has continued its progress "rebuilding for the 21st century" by replacing our well-worn roads and bridges. And, he included high-speed rail in that plan. "Within 25 years, our goal is to give 80 percent of Americans access to high-speed rail, which could allow you [to] go places in half the time it takes to travel by car," he said. "For some trips, it will be faster than flying – without the pat-down." So, public transportation was cited as an important piece of tomorrow's thrilling innovations, which will make us more successful and competitive. And, the cameras trained on Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood for a few seconds, which was also exciting. "Hey, that's Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood!" I got to say to my husband, before the caption came up, saying who he was. "I write about that guy!" Still, as happy as I was with the high-speed rail plug, and all the other "big things" we will do in the future, I was left wondering about the now. What about public transportation right this minute and its need for support, with so many states still struggling and unemployment still sinking ridership in many places? I wish that a few words could have been afforded for supporting our existing transit system. What do you think?
