ABSTRACT: We report a case of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) on the dorsal aspect of the right middle finger associated with multiple squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) possibly arising in chronic radiation dermatitis of the hand of an 80-year-old surgeon. In spite of resection of the primary lesion and right axillary lymph nodes, he died of the tumor 5 months after the first visit. Cutaneous and lymph node lesions of MCC were negative for Merkel cell polyoma virus (MCPyV) by immunostaining using monoclonal antibody (CM2B4) and anti-large T antigen of MCPyV polyclonal antibody, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Several differences in clinicopathological findings have been found between MCPyV-positive cases and negative ones. Several authors have reported that MCPyV-negative cases have a worse prognosis than MCPyV-positive ones. Furthermore, in cases of MCC associated with SCC, most tumors have been reported to be MCPyV-negative. We should pay more attention to the relationship between the carcinogenesis of MCC and ionizing irradiation.The Journal of Dermatology 12/2014; · 2.35 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that shows malignant effusion most commonly seen in advanced AIDS patients. In this study, we clarified the potential role of VEGF and IL-6 in PEL fluid retention and evaluated the efficacy of humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody (mAb), bevacizumab, and humanized anti-IL-6 receptor mAb, tocilizumab, against PEL.Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology 10/2014; · 3.01 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe a fatal case of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome with human herpesvirus-6B (HHV-6B)-associated lymphadenitis and virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome triggered by an over-the-counter medication to treat respiratory and influenza-like symptoms. Histologically, the structure of the lymph node was disrupted with infiltration of large lymphocytes carrying intranuclear acidophilic inclusion bodies. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR analysis revealed that these large lymphocytes were positive for HHV-6B. Numerous HHV-6 particles were detected in the inclusion body of the lymphocytes by electron microscopy. Interestingly, immunohistochemistry revealed that HHV-6B-infected cells in the lymph node were CD3(+), CD4(+), CD25(+), and FoxP3(+) T cells, indicating a phenotypic resemblance to regulatory T-cells. This case provides direct evidence of HHV-6 infection in CD25(+)/FoxP3(+) T cells in a case of acute lymphadenitis of DRESS syndrome, suggesting a significant role of HHV-6 infection of regulatory T-cells in the pathogenesis of DRESS syndrome.Journal of Clinical Virology 09/2014; · 3.47 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Balamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba found in fresh water and soil that causes granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. We report herein an autopsy case of B. mandrillaris amoebic encephalitis, which was definitely diagnosed by PCR. An 81-year-old man, who had Sjögren's syndrome, manifested drowsiness 2 months before his death with progressive deterioration. Neuroimaging demonstrated foci of T2- and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery high and T1 low-intensity with irregular post-contrast ring enhancement in the cerebral hemisphere, thalamus and midbrain. Pathologically, multiple hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions were found in the cerebrum, thalamus, midbrain, pons, medulla and cerebellum, which were characterized by liquefactive necrosis, marked edema, hemorrhage and necrotizing vasculitis associated with the perivascular accumulation of amoebic trophozoites, a few cysts, and the infiltration of numerous neutrophils and microglia/macrophages. The trophozoites were ovoid or round, 10–60 μm in diameter, and they showed foamy cytoplasm and a round nucleus with small karyosome in the center. The PCR and immunohistochemistry from paraffin-embedded brain specimens revealed angioinvasive encephalitis due to B. mandrillaris. Human cases of B. mandrillaris brain infection are rare in Japan, with only a few brief reports in the literature.Neuropathology 09/2014; · 1.80 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It has been unclear whether chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus-6 (ciHHV-6) can be activated with pathogenic effects on the human body. We present molecular and virological evidence of ciHHV-6A activation in a patient with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency. These findings have significant implications for the management of patients with ciHHV-6.Clinical Infectious Diseases 05/2014; · 9.42 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Opportunistic infections and malignancies such as malignant lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma are significant complications of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, following the introduction of antiretroviral therapy in Japan in 1997, the incidence of clinical complications has decreased. In the present study, autopsy cases of HIV infection in Japan were retrospectively investigated to reveal the prevalence of opportunistic infections and malignancies. A total of 225 autopsy cases of HIV infection identified at 4 Japanese hospitals from 1985-2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data were collected from patient medical records. Mean CD4 counts of patients were 77.0 cells/muL in patients who received any antiretroviral therapy during their lives (ART (+) patients) and 39.6 cells/muL in naive patients (ART (-) patients). Cytomegalovirus infection (142 cases, 63.1%) and pneumocystis pneumonia (66 cases, 29.3%) were the most frequent opportunistic infections, and their prevalence was significantly lower in ART (+) patients than ART (-) patients. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma were observed in 30.1% and 16.2% of ART (-) patients, and 37.9% and 15.2% of ART (+) patients, respectively. Malignant lymphoma was the most frequent cause of death, followed by cytomegalovirus infection regardless of ART. Non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining cancers such as liver and lung cancer caused death more frequently in ART (+) patients (9.1%) than in ART (-) patients (1.5%; P = 0.026). The prevalence of infectious diseases and malignancies were revealed in autopsy cases of HIV infection in Japan. The prevalence of cytomegalovirus infection and pneumocystis pneumonia at autopsy were lower in ART (+) patients than ART (-) patients. Higher prevalence of non-AIDS defining malignancies among ART (+) patients than ART (-) patients suggests that onsets of various opportunistic infections and malignancies should be carefully monitored regardless of whether the patient is receiving ART.BMC Infectious Diseases 04/2014; 14(1):229. · 2.56 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recently, the critical role of CD47 on the surface of resistant cancer cells has been proposed in their evasion of immunosurveillance. Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a subtype of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma that shows serous lymphomatous effusion in body cavities, especially in advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). PEL is resistant to conventional chemotherapy and has a poor prognosis. In this study, we evaluated the effect of anti-CD47 antibody (Ab) on PEL in vitro and in vivo. Surface CD47 of PEL cell lines was examined by flow cytometry. Efficacy of knocking down CD47 or anti-CD47 Ab-mediated phagocytosis against PEL was evaluated using mouse peritoneal macrophages and human macrophages in vitro. Primary PEL cells were injected intraperitoneally into NOD/Rag-2/Jak3 double-deficient (NRJ) mice to establish a direct xenograft mouse model. Surface CD47 of PEL cell lines was highly expressed. Knocking down CD47 and anti-CD47 Ab promoted phagocytic activities of macrophages in a CD47 expression-dependent manner in vitro. Treatment with anti-CD47 Ab inhibited ascite formation and organ invasion completely in vivo compared with control IgG-treated mice. CD47 plays the pivotal role in the immune evasion of PEL cells in body cavities. Therapeutic antibody targeting of CD47 could be an effective therapy for PEL.European journal of cancer (Oxford, England: 1990) 04/2014; · 4.12 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: The GP129, GP131 and GP133 genes of guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) are homologs of human CMV UL128, UL130 and UL131A, respectively, which are essential for infection of endothelial and epithelial cells and for viral transmission to leukocytes. Our previous study demonstrated that a GPCMV strain lacking the 1.6-kb locus that contains the GP129, GP131, and GP133 genes had a growth defect in animals. Here we demonstrated that the wild-type strain but not the 1.6-kb deleted strain formed capsids in macrophages prepared from the peritoneal fluid. To understand the mechanism, we prepared GPCMV strains defective in each of GP129, GP131 and GP133 and found that they were all essential for the infection of peritoneal, splenic and PBMC-derived macrophages/monocytes and expression of immediate-early antigens in the macrophages/monocytes, although they were dispensable for infection of fibroblasts. Monocyte/macrophage-tropism could be one of the important determinants for viral dissemination in vivo.Journal of General Virology 03/2014; · 3.53 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced the mortality of patients with human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection worldwide. However, malignant lymphoma is a severe and frequent complication seen in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The diagnostic criteria for some categories of AIDS-related lymphoma were revised in the World Health Organization International Classification of Lymphoma, fourth edition. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinicopathological characteristics of Japanese patients with AIDS-related lymphoma according to the revised classification. In this retrospective study, 207 AIDS-related lymphoma cases diagnosed between 1987 and 2012 in Japan were subjected to histological subtyping and clinicopathological analyses. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the predominant histological subtype throughout the study period (n = 104, 50%). Among the DLBCL cases, 24% were of the germinal center (GC) type and 76% were of the non-GC type. Non-GC-type cases showed a significantly lower 1-year survival rate (43%) than the GC-type cases (82%). Cases of Burkitt lymphoma (n = 57, 28%), plasmablastic lymphoma (n = 16, 8%), primary effusion lymphoma (n = 9, 4%), Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 8, 4%), and large B-cell lymphoma arising in Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus-associated multicentric Castleman disease (n = 2, 1%) were also observed. Hodgkin lymphoma was more common in patients receiving ART (11.1%) than in ART-naïve patients (1.4%). Statistical analyses identified CD10 negativity, BCL-6 negativity, Epstein-Barr virus positivity, and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus positivity as risk factors for poor prognosis. This information will help in the early diagnosis of lymphoma in patients with AIDS.Cancer Medicine 01/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

The number of TSV genomes detected was higher in the heart than in the other organs. The full-length TSV genome was cloned from the heart. This suggests a possible role of TSV infection in the pathogenesis of myocarditis in infants.International journal of clinical and experimental pathology. 01/2014; 7(8):5308-12. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV) a novel bunyavirus reported to be endemic in central and northeastern China. This paper describes the first identification of a patient with SFTS and a retrospective study on SFTS in Japan.Methods. Virological and pathological examinations were performed on the patient's samples. Laboratory diagnosis of SFTS was made by isolation/genome amplification, and/or the detection of IgG antibody to SFTSV in sera. Medical doctors were alerted to the initial diagnosis and asked whether they had previously treated patients with symptoms similar to those of SFTS.Results. A female patient who died in 2012 was diagnosed with SFTS. Ten additional patients with SFTS were then retrospectively identified. All patients were aged 50 or over, and lived in western Japan. Six cases were fatal. The male to female ratio was 8:3. SFTSV was isolated from 8 patients. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that all the Japanese SFTSV isolates formed a genotype independent to in China. Most patients showed symptoms due to hemorrhage, possibly because of disseminated intravascular coagulation and/or hemophagocytosis.Conclusions. SFTS has been endemic to Japan and SFTSV has been circulating naturally within the country.The Journal of Infectious Diseases 11/2013; · 5.85 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma that occurs predominantly in patients with advanced AIDS. In this study, we examined the effect of HIV protease inhibitors, Lopinavir (LPV), Ritonavir (RTV) and Darunavir (DRV) on PEL cell lines in vitro and in vivo. LPV and RTV, but not DRV induced caspase-dependent apoptosis and suppressed NF-κB activity by inhibiting IKK phosphorylation in PEL cells. In a PEL xenograft mouse model, LPV significantly inhibited the growth and invasion of PEL cells. These results suggest that LPV may have promise for the treatment and prevention of PEL, which occurs in HIV/AIDS patients.Cancer letters 09/2013; · 5.02 Impact Factor -
Article: Hippuristanol Reduces the Viability of Primary Effusion Lymphoma Cells both in Vitro and in Vivo.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) caused by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (also known as human herpesvirus-8) shows serious lymphomatous effusion in body cavities. PEL is difficult to treat and there is no standard treatment strategy. Hippuristanol is extracted from Okinawan coral Isis hippuris, and inhibits translational initiation by blocking eukaryotic initiation factor 4A, an ATP-dependent RNA helicase, binding to mRNA. Recently, there has been much interest in targeting translation initiation as an anticancer therapy. Here, we show that treatment of PEL cell lines with hippuristanol resulted in cell cycle arrest at G1 phase, and induced caspases activation and apoptosis. Hippuristanol also reduced the expression of cyclin D2, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6 and prosurvival XIAP and Mcl-1 proteins. Activation of activator protein-1, signal transducers and activators of transcription protein 3 and Akt pathways plays a critical role in the survival and growth of PEL cells. Hippuristanol suppressed the activities of these three pathways by inhibiting the expression of JunB, JunD, c-Fos, signal transducers and activators of transcription protein 3 and Akt proteins. In a xenograft mouse model that showed ascites and diffused organ invasion of PEL cells, treatment with hippuristanol significantly inhibited the growth and invasion of PEL cells compared with untreated mice. The results of the in vitro and in vivo experiments underline the potential usefulness of hippuristanol in the treatment of PEL.Marine Drugs 09/2013; 11(9):3410-24. · 3.51 Impact Factor -
Article: Seroprevalence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus among men who have sex with men in Japan.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the etiologic agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, causes malignancies frequently in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. In the United States and Europe, KSHV infection is common among men who have sex with men. However, the seroprevalence of KSHV among men who have sex with men in Japan is unknown. In the present study, the seroprevalence of KSHV was investigated among 230 men who have sex with men and 400 age- and area of residence-matched men (controls) using a mixed-antigen (KSHV-encoded K8.1, open reading frame 59, 65, and 73 proteins) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and an immunofluorescence assay. Among the Japanese men who have sex with men, serological assays revealed that 27 (11.7%) were seropositive for KSHV; 20 (5%) of the men in the control group were also KSHV seropositive. The seroprevalence of KSHV among men who have sex with men was significantly higher than in the control group (odds ratio = 2.52, 95% confidence intervals = 1.38-4.62, P = 0.0019, Chi-square test). Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, Treponema pallidum, or hepatitis B and C virus did not correlate with KSHV infection. Furthermore, the association of KSHV seropositivity with specific sexual activities was not statistically significant. In conclusion, a higher KSHV seroprevalence was found among Japanese men who have sex with men than among the controls, suggesting that the circulation of KSHV infection is more efficient among men who have sex with men in Japan than among men who do not engage in such sexual activities.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common cause of congenital virus infection. Infection of guinea pigs with guinea pig CMV (GPCMV) can provide a useful model for the analysis of its pathogenesis as well as for the evaluation of vaccines. Although glycoprotein B (gB) vaccines have been reported to reduce the incidence and mortality of congenital infection in human clinical trials and guinea pig animal models, the mechanisms of protection remain unclear. METHODS: To understand the gB vaccine protection mechanisms, we analyzed the spread of challenged viruses in the placentas and fetuses of guinea pig dams immunized with recombinant adenoviruses expressing GPCMV gB and β-galactosidase, rAd-gB and rAd-LacZ, respectively. RESULTS: Mean body weight of the fetuses in the dams immunized with rAd-LacZ followed by GPCMV challenge 3 weeks after immunization was 78% of that observed for dams immunized with rAd-gB. Under conditions in which congenital infection occurred in 75% of fetuses in rAd-LacZ-immunized dams, only 13% of fetuses in rAd-gB-immunized dams were congenitally infected. The placentas were infected less frequently in the gB-immunized animals. In the placentas of the rAd-LacZ- and rAd-gB-immunized animals, CMV early antigens were detected mainly in the spongiotrophoblast layer. Focal localization of viral antigens in the spongiotrophoblast layer suggests cell-to-cell viral spread in the placenta. In spite of a similar level of antibodies against gB and avidity indices among fetuses in each gB-immunized dam, congenital infection was sometimes observed in a littermate fetus. In such infected fetuses, CMV spread to most organs. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that antibodies against gB protected against infection mainly at the interface of the placenta rather than from the placenta to the fetus. The development of strategies to block cell-to-cell viral spread in the placenta is, therefore, required for effective protection against congenital CMV infection.Vaccine 05/2013; · 3.49 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), human polyomavirus-6 (HPyV6), and human polyomavirus-7 (HPyV7) were identified as viruses shed from the skin. Serological analysis revealed that these viruses are common among the general population. However, there is little information about the presence of MCPyV, HPyV6, and HPyV7 in the sera and tissues of immunocompromised individuals. The aims of this study are to know if immune status affects the presence of MCPyV, HPyV6, and HPyV7 in the serum, and to reveal the presence of these viruses in diseased tissues of unknown etiology. METHODS: Sera from HIV-1-positive and -negative patients were examined by real-time PCR and nested PCR detecting MCPyV, HPyV6 and HPyV7. In addition, diseased tissue samples of unknown etiology were examined. RESULTS: Nine out of 23 serum samples (39.1%) from HIV-1-positive patients who had not received anti-retroviral therapy were positive for MCPyV, which is significantly higher than HIV-1-negative patients (6/110, 5.5%, P < 0.01, Chi-square test). MCPyV DNA was detected in tissue samples of Merkel cell carcinoma (22/30 [73%]), encephalitis (4/19 [21%]), pneumonia (3/17 [18%]), and myocarditis (8/14 [57%]). With the exception of Merkel cell carcinoma samples, MCPyV-positive tissues showed low copy numbers of MCPyV DNA by real-time PCR and no expression of the MCPyV large T antigen by immunohistochemistry. HPyV6 and HPyV7 were rarely detected in serum and tissue samples. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that MCPyV viremia is associated with host immunity, and that circulation of HPyV6 and HPyV7 in the serum is rare.Virology Journal 03/2013; 10(1):84. · 2.09 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a subtype of aggressive and resistant non-Hodgkin lymphoma that occurs predominantly in patients with advanced AIDS. In this study, we examined the antitumor activity of zoledronic acid (Zol) -induced Vγ9Vδ2 T cells against PEL cells in vitro and in vivo. Vγ9Vδ2 T cells recognized endogenous mevalonate metabolites and MICA/B of PEL cell lines, inducing cytotoxicity via granule exocytosis and TRAIL-mediated pathway. Vγ9Vδ2 T cells suppressed the development of PEL cells and existed in a PEL xenograft mouse model. These results show that immunotherapy with Zol-induced Vγ9Vδ2 T cells could demonstrate an efficient strategy for PEL.Cancer letters 01/2013; · 5.02 Impact Factor

This is not, says Finn, the way the story really happened, but the way he remembers it. That is how everyone tells the stories that matter to them: through their own eyes, rewritten by their own memories, with bold underscores for the parts that hurt. Finn's story is the life of a poor boy who falls in love with a rich girl who has been trained since childhood to break the hearts of men.
This tale has been borrowed from Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, where it is told in less lurid images and language, to be sure, but with the same sense of an innocent boy being lured into the lair of two dangerous women. That the women are lonely, sad and good at heart makes it bittersweet. "What is it like not to feel anything?" Finn shouts at Estella after she has abandoned him. Of course if you cannot feel anything, that is exactly the question you cannot answer.
The story has been updated by director Alfonso Cuarón, who moves it from Victorian England to a crumbling neo-Gothic mansion in Florida. It stars Ethan Hawke as Finn (Pip in the book), and Gwyneth Paltrow as Estella, the beautiful niece of the eccentric millionairess Ms. Dinsmoor (Anne Bancroft). Their paths cross in one of those backwaters of Florida that have been immortalized by writers like Elmore Leonard and John D. MacDonald, where creeping condos from the North have not yet dislodged small fishing shacks and the huge masonry pile of Paradiso Perduto, which once was a glittering showplace but is now engulfed in trees and creepers, and falling into decay.
Finn lives with his sister Maggie and "her man," Joe (Chris Cooper), who raises him after Maggie disappears. One day he is seen by Ms. Dinsmoor, who invites him to Paradiso Perduto to play with her niece. The two children are about 10. Finn is a gifted artist, and as he sketches the young girl, the old crone perceives that he will eventually fall in love with the girl and sees her chance for revenge against men.
The original of Ms. Dinsmoor is of course Dickens' Miss Havisham, one of the most colorful and pathetic characters in Dickens, who was left stranded on her wedding day by a faithless lover. This version of "Great Expectations" spares us the sight of her wedding cake, covered in cobwebs after the decades (in Florida, tiny visitors would make short work of that feast). But it succeeds in making Ms. Dinsmore equally sad and venomous, and Anne Bancroft's performance is interesting: Despite the weird eye makeup and the cigarettes, despite the flamboyant clothing, she is human, and not without humor. "That's the biggest cat I've ever seen," Finn says on his first visit. "What do you feed it?" She waits for a beat. "Other cats," she says.
Paradiso Perduto and its inhabitant reminded me of "Grey Gardens," the 1976 documentary about two relatives of Jackie Onassis who lived in a decaying mansion in East Hampton with countless cats. There is the same sense of defiance: If I was once young, rich and beautiful, these women say to the world, see what you have made of me! Cuarón, whose previous film was "The Little Princess," brings a touch of magic realism to the setting, with weeping willows, skies filled with sea birds, and a scene where Finn and Estella dance to "Besame Mucho" while Ms. Dinsmore looks on, cold-eyed.
Time passes. The young actors who played Finn and Estella are replaced by Hawke and Paltrow, who meet again at the mansion after several years, and share a sudden kiss at a water fountain, which is cut between backlit shots from moving cameras so that it seems more orgiastic than most sex scenes. After this romantic spark, Estella again dances away, and the story continues some years later in New York, where a mysterious benefactor offers to bankroll Finn's show at an important gallery, and Estella again appears on the scene, this time with a hapless fiance/victim named Walter in tow.
"Great Expectations" begins as a great movie (I was spellbound by the first 30 minutes) but ends as only a good one, and I think that's because the screenplay, by Mitch Glazer, too closely follows the romantic line. Dickens, who of course had more time and space to move around in, made it the story of a young man's coming of age, and the colorful characters he encountered--from the escaped prisoner of the opening scenes (played here by Robert De Niro) to good old, proud old Joe. The moment this movie declares itself as being mostly about affairs of the heart, it limits its potential.
And yet the film is a successful translation of the basic material from one period and approach to another. Especially in the early Florida scenes, it seems timeless. Hawke and Paltrow project that uneasy alertness of two people who know they like each other and suspect they'll regret it. But the subplot involving the escaped prisoner doesn't really pay off (it feels more like a bone thrown to Dickens than a necessity of the plot). And I am not quite sure that any good artist can create only when he's in synch with the girl of his dreams: Some artists paint best when their hearts are broken, and most artists paint no matter what, because they have to.
"Great Expectations" doesn't finish at the same high level that it begins (if it did, it would be one of the year's best films), but it's visually enchanted; the cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki uses lighting and backlighting like a painter. And the characters have more depth and feeling than we might expect in what is, underneath everything, a fantasy. There's great joy in a scene where Finn sweeps Estella out of a restaurant and asks her to dance. And sadness later as she observes that Ms. Dinsmore's obsessions have become her own.

BookWars is an award-winning independent film from New York City by Jason "Jack RO" Rosette [1] produced by Camerado, about the life and times of New York City street booksellers. Made on an ultra-low budget in a jazzy, impressionistic style reminiscent of the films of Robert Frank and poetry of the Beat Generation, BookWars is the only first-person documentary made during then-New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's controversial "Quality of Life" campaign, which sought to limit and control individuals engaged in informal economic activities on the streets of New York City.
BookWars was released in June 2000, winning the Best Documentary Award at the 2000 New York Underground Film Festival IndieWire and premiering theatrically at New York's Cinema Village [2]. Despite its minuscule budget (estimated at $10,000, prerelease) BookWars enjoyed numerous domestic and international TV sales and has to date generated revenue of several hundred thousand dollars.
The movie is currently available on DVD, VOD, VCD (Asia), digital download, theatrical film prints, and other formats.
" BookWars is: The gritty, untamed world of street booksellers, exposed in a remarkable feature film that chronicles their lives and loves and their unique perspectives on life. Shot entirely on location by fellow street bookseller and filmmaker Jason Rosette, and produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Michel Negroponte, BookWars explores the other side of the book tables that line the streets of New York City's Greenwich Village, the Lower East Side, 6th avenue, and elsewhere in New York City." – New Filmmakers, New York
BookWars is a creative documentary which is told in an unconventional, narrative style. The film opens with the narrator (who is also the film's director) driving out West along a desert highway, relating to the audience his previous experiences as a streetside bookseller in New York City. The entire documentary – including the central events involving his experiences among the street booksellers in New York – is thus "told" as a long conversation on a cross-country roadtrip out West.
The narrator describes his post-graduation years in New York, and how he ended up at one point virtually penniless. Driven by a desperate need to pay the rent, he resorts to wheeling his own books out to the street to try to sell them. He reveals that he was not only successful in making a significant amount of cash on that first day, but he has also met a variety of interesting and strange characters of the streets of New York – including other street booksellers.
A motley assortment of street booksellers on West 4th street, in Greenwich Village, New York City, are first introduced. Among them: "Slick" Rick Sherman, a semi-professional magician; Al Mappo, so named because he only sells maps and atlases; Emil, who says only he "escaped", though we do not know from where; and Pete Whitney: King of the booksellers, toad collector, and collage artist.
BookWars next introduces another group of street booksellers who hawk their trade on nearby 6th Avenue. Mainly black and minority individuals, they ply books and magazines in parallel fashion to the nearby West 4th street booksellers, who are primarily white. The booksellers on 6th Avenue suffer greater exposure to the law, with many claiming this to be due to racial profiling.
Some of the significant personalities that are introduced on 6th Avenue include: Marvin, always wearing his trademark black hat; and Ron, from Jamaica – charismatic, streetwise and outspoken.
After the introduction of the primary characters (including the narrator bookseller himself), BookWars discusses, mainly through informal testimony, the various aspects of the street bookseller's life in chapter-by-chapter fashion.
The tools and tricks of the street bookseller's trade are revealed: ways and techniques to maximize income; how to deal with difficult, and sometimes dangerous customers; where and how to get more books; how the booksellers have a right to distribute literature (commercially or otherwise) in public, as per the First Amendment to the United States Constitution; and so on.
BookWars is structured as a "year in the life" style movie, although it was actually produced over several seasons, from 1995 to 1999. When Winter comes, and the streets are too snow-filled and cold to hawk books, the booksellers are shown in their various off-season modes and occupations. "Slick" Rick performs card and magic tricks at parties; Pete Whitney grooms cats for old ladies; and the narrator heads out to New Mexico to work on a Western*.
(*Which was actually the movie The Desperate Trail IMDB)
Marv and Ron, however, continue to sell books throughout the winter on busy 6th Avenue, and the film follows them as they scour for books and pornographic magazines in the trash in Soho.
Finally, Spring comes, and the booksellers emerge from their off-season to sell books as usual for another season – or so they think. BookWars proceeds to reveal the street-level effects of then-New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's controversial "Quality of Life" campaign, which sought to remove informal, unregistered entrepreneurs and other individuals from the streets of New York City.
The NYPD [3] begins to enforce obscure technicalities which govern the uses and dimensions of the sidewalks, thereby making it more difficult to earn a livelihood. A new tax identification number requirement is introduced, creating bureaucratic obstacles, especially for those street booksellers who are marginal or virtually homeless. Nearby New York University unlawfully places imposing, massive planters on the sidewalk in an attempt to drive the street booksellers away; and finally, especially on 6th Avenue where the majority of black street booksellers are active, the NYPD comes to haul away books.
The street booksellers resist and assemble to form an unlikely common front to protest against the actions of the city. Others, who have had their books confiscated, wait for hours at the police station to get them back. Still others, like Ron, rail against the futility of the city's efforts to stop New Yorkers from reading, because of their virtual addiction to books.
In the end, the street booksellers stand their ground against the Mayor, and are able to continue selling with minor adjustments to their way of life.
In the closing moments of BookWars, the narrator admits that after all the recent problems with the city, he has grown restless; he realizes that he wants to do something different, and wants to change his occupation at last. A single massive rainstorm is enough to convince him to give up his street bookselling activities.
He sells the last of his books off to his fellow street booksellers, and heads out West, on a cross-country road trip, with the audience in the passenger seat sharing the ride.
The Street Booksellers of New York City
The concept for BookWars was developed after a chance meeting between filmmaker Jason Rosette—who had been selling used and out of print books at a streetside bookstand to generate cash between film production and editing jobs—and Emmy Award-winning New York-based documentary filmmaker Michel Negroponte, at Mr. Rosette's sidewalk bookstand in 1995. Mr. Negroponte, who had previously directed numerous documentaries including Jupiter's Wife[4] and Space Coast[5], agreed to be a co-producer on the movie.
Mr. Rosette commenced to bring a video camera to the bookstand daily to document the sights and sounds of the city of New York as seen from the perspective of a sidewalk bookseller. Because this initial phase of shooting was funded completely out of pocket, BookWars was produced in a variety of film and video formats depending on whatever camera was available at the time. Formats included: Mini DV, Super 8 film, Regular 8 and Hi-8 video, and Super VHS. The aesthetic goals of immediacy and a natural, unobtrusive presence of the camera also demanded the use of small format film and video.
Initial shooting was financed by the sale of the various used and out-of-print books at the filmmaker's bookstand. As more books were sold, more film and video stock could be bought, and production would continue.
Following the initial stage of shooting in New York, the director drove from New York to New Mexico where he had edited an earlier movie at a colleague's Albuquerque-based production studio. In New Mexico in 1996, the first assembly of the movie, called The Book Wars, was edited on a tape-to-tape analogue system; that rough assembly was screened for the first time in on Super Bowl Sunday as part of an exhibition produced by Basement Films [6] of Albuquerque.
Given that desktop editing solutions were not widely used or available at the time - and were expensive to rent - the filmmaker next drove out to Los Angeles with the assembly edit in hand, in order to attempt to secure access to one of the two primary nonlinear systems available at the time – an Avid or Media 100 system.
While the filmmaker sought post-production equipment in Los Angeles, a San Francisco- based production company, S.A.I.D. Communications, viewed the assembly edit of BookWars and agreed to provide additional editing and production in order to complete the picture. Mr. Rosette subsequently departed Los Angeles for San Francisco, and commenced to work on editing the documentary there full-time.
There was no up-front money to continue editing and still no funding, so the director worked a variety of jobs to sustain himself and production of the movie, working as a freelance film editor, voice-over artist, and an assortment of temporary and odd jobs.
A rough cut of BookWars was finally achieved in 1998. However, additional material was required to create a coherent feature edit. S.A.I.D Communications provided a camera on loan, and the director headed back to New York to spend time once again with his fellow booksellers to continue documenting their lives.
After this second stage of shooting in New York was complete, in 1998, the director returned to San Francisco to include the additional essential sequences in the final edit. While the filmmaker was away, however, S.A.I.D. had already commenced postproduction on another documentary called Live Nude Girls Unite, and the BookWars team had to defer to their the stripper-activist production colleagues.
The filmmaker had by now spent nearly three years in San Francisco, endeavoring to complete BookWars without having received any grants or external funding. A grant administrator from The Pacific Pioneer Fund explained that, while he considered BookWars to be a worthy and compelling project, he felt that the filmmaker "would have to be a genius to pull it off" (funding was denied).
At the same time, Beat writer and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Lights Bookstore viewed the cut of BookWars, and applauded it as being "Anarchistic".
Delays continued and post production paused while an online editing system in the San Francisco area was sought, unsuccessfully. Finally, co-producer Michel Negroponte contacted the filmmaker regarding an editing station that had become available in New York City; payment to the machine's owners at Copacetic Pictures could be deferred until the movie was completed and sold.
The filmmaker thus drove back to New York to complete the final edit of the documentary. During this time, German-French broadcasting group Arte/ZDF received the nearly-completed cut of the BookWars and committed to purchasing the hour-long broadcast version for airing, while providing an advance to enable completion of the final edit, mix, narration, and postproduction of the program. Shortly after announcing this key initial TV sale, The Playboy Foundation and the Experimental TV Center subsequently awarded modest postproduction grants.
The work in progress of BookWars screened at the Independent Feature Project's Independent Feature Film Market, while the nearly complete fine cut of BookWars screened at the New Filmmakers, New York series at Anthology Film Archives in the Spring of 2000.
Several months later, the final theatrical version of Bookwars was completed. The movie had its world premiere at the 2000 New York Underground Film Festival, where it won the Best Documentary Award. Though the filmmaker was subsequently banned from the festival venue (Anthology Film Archives) due to over-zealous guerilla promotional activities, the BookWars nonetheless soon enjoyed a New York theatrical premiere at the Cinema Village Cinema Village Website, and went on to screen theatrically and air at numerous international and domestic channels and venues.
In total, production of BookWars had taken five years and 20,000 miles of driving across the USA to complete.
Influences and approach[edit]
There are no formal interviews in BookWars although the booksellers at times speak informally to the filmmaker. There are no subtitles or title cards within the film itself either, except for the opening titles and credits. Rather, the narrator's voiceover is designed to take over this role while conveying a more intimate, personal quality to the story.
Primary influences in the making of the movie were the Beat classic film, Pull my Daisy and other street-level compositions by filmmaker Robert Frank and various works from the New American Cinema. The narration style was adopted from 1930-40's American gangster and film noir movies, and some Western genre elements were included as well – particularly in the conceptual story component of a "man heading out West to start anew".
BookWars veers stylistically from straight or journalistic documentaries through its use of creative devices. Slow motion is often employed, the narration is non-standard, the movie follows a distinct narrative structure, and dream sequences are utilized. Often, the subjects of the documentary take over as camera operators and record themselves and their surroundings at will.
Original soundtrack elements were provided by swamp-blues practitioner, Little Muddy [7], while pre-recorded compositions by legendary Jazz players, Willis Jackson and Jack McDuff were licensed from the 32 Jazz [8] label.
Festivals and broadcasts[edit]
BookWars has screened at festivals, theatrical venues, and broadcast outlets including: NHK (Japan), SVT (Sweden) Sveriges Television, PBS, (US), Metrochannels (US) MSG Metro Channels, Book Television (Canada), Arte/ZDF Arte (France and Germany), The Florida Film Festival, The Kansas City Film Jubilee [9], Facets [10], the Museum of Modern Art (New York) [11], the Danish National Film Institute [12]/, Brotfabrik (Berlin) [13], the 911 Media Arts Center [14] in Seattle, amongst others.
The feature version also pioneered internet releases when they were still uncommon (in 2001), streaming on a pay per view basis on the Cinemapop media portal.
BookWars received the Best Documentary Award upon its world premiere at the 2000 New York Underground Film Festival. The movie was also nominated for an IFP Gotham Award.
BookWars garnered generally positive reviews, starting with its first review by New York Film Critics Circle reviewer Matt Zoller Seitz in the New York Press [15]. The film was met with hostility, however, by the participant of another unaffiliated street bookseller book project, who claimed that the director of BookWars had manipulated the (mainly black & minority) 6th avenue booksellers in order to film them getting drunk – an allegation which proved not to be true. Nonetheless, a New York Times review [16] by critic Elvis Mitchell soon followed which was not supportive of the film. Numerous other positive reviews followed, however, which cast doubt on some motivations behind the early critiques of BookWars.
Ultimately, most of the street booksellers appearing in the movie – as well as those not appearing - welcomed it as an agreeable depiction of their lives, and several street booksellers to this day continue to keep copies of the film on their sidewalk bookstands as a grass-roots, participatory distribution mechanism.

One Suspect In Boston Bombing Is Dead; Second Remains At Large
Law enforcement officials identified the dead suspect as Dzhokhar's brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26. They are both believed to be Chechens.
The news comes only hours after the FBI released photos of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan late Thursday evening, urging those who knew information about them to call their hotline.
Dzhokhar is said to be the man wearing the white hat in the photos.
As the hunt to find Dzhokhar continues, Gov. Deval Patrick has suspended all public transportation in the MBTA system. A number of prominent colleges, including Harvard, Boston College and Boston University, canceled classes on Friday.
According to the report, the chase began around 10PM Thursday evening after two men robbed a 7-11 store at gunpoint. Afterward, they shot and killed an MIT campus security guard and carjacked a Mercedes SUV, fully armed.
This led police into Watertown, where reports say police and the suspects exchanged gunfire.
Multiple explosions went off Monday afternoon near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and leaving over 100 injured.

Can I route a cable through here (and how)?
The circle cap to the right of the dash speaker; what is that? Is that for a feature my Jeep wasn't equipped with or for routing cables from the dash? I'd like to route a USB cable from there to the cigarette lighter in the compartment right below the A/C controls. Is that possible and has anyone done this before?
I'd use the USB port on my NAVI but it just doesn't pump out enough juice to keep up with my devices. They drain faster than the standard output of a USB can charge. Fyi, I've never removed any trim or components in my Jeep before (newbie). http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/58889672.jpg |
Re: Can I route a cable through here (and how)?
Another member routed the radar detector's power cable thru there.

Los Angeles, California, that mecca of the Hollywood elite, was and continues to be a magnet for all who aspire toward greatness. So how does it happen that this very same paradise harbors the largest population of homeless citizens in the United States, and who exactly is to blame for this extraordinary vital statistic?
Taylor Golonka and Sergei Zelinsky set out to answer these questions and more in their documentary film, Homeless in Los Angeles. The filmmakers follow a diverse group of men who reside on Los Angeles streets and beaches, in an attempt to show a day that is very average to them. The men, ranging in age from twenty-two to elderly, have a different story to tell about why they live this way.
Standing in for Golonka and Zelinsky most of the time is a narrator of sorts, named Michael. Two years homeless, Michael's particular circumstances lay the groundwork for his peers, and us viewers, looking from the outside, in. Describing himself in his own words as a "recovering homeless and substance abuser," the most articulate and oddly normal Michael feels curiously akin to all humanity. And that's what makes Homeless in Los Angeles both uplifting and disturbing at the same precise moment.
In terms of novelty, Homeless in Los Angeles is nothing new. Speaking for myself as a Film Threat critic, I reviewed a similar documentary less than one year ago called Cardboard. That film, directed by Matt Longmire, concerned the homeless in Seattle, and explored a strange synergy between the City's Mayor and the panhandling homeless. Naturally all inventive people, whether they are writers, filmmakers or musicians, eventually tap into a similar story, and this is to be expected. What makes Homeless in Los Angeles unique is that it is not a negative film pulling at our heartstrings and burying us in societal-guilt for those that fall between the cracks. Instead, what the film does offer is an inside glimpse at a peculiar normality among homeless drug abusers and criminals, and how leaving the life, or doing something positive even in Skid Row, is possible.
Cinematically, the movie runs its doc-style course, with talking heads, vintage footage and minimal interchange between the directors and their subjects. Is this annoying? Not really, because the film moves quickly and leaves nothing behind.
If I had to pick one weakness, it would be at the very end of the film. It is there that Michael seems too much like an actor in a lengthy public service advertisement, when he suggests how and where the homeless can seek help. Perhaps this important information would be better and more powerfully addressed in cinematic-text.
What I feel makes the film strong is its editing, substance, and very careful construction. The latter is represented by Michael's very positive choice to move on, and the heartwarming acceptance of a certain Skid Row, self-appointed social worker named Samuel the Barber.
Flaws aside, I feel that Homeless in Los Angeles is an important film, and one that should be seen by everyone except young children, due to occasional profanity.
