SAM: In Search of Agent Kilo
2009-06-01 Introduction, Orders Received
My ID is S.A.M., and I work as a field agent for an organization I'll just call "The Agency". Over the course of my career, some of my exploits have been so notorious the Agency's cover story resulted in a number of copycat "reality" shows in the entertainment industry. However, time fears no man, and eventually I had to retire to a somewhat more subdued lifestyle as an Agency consultant, which in realspeak means I was put out to pasture. While I was out making the world safe for democracy, there was a sea change of attitude at The Agency with the thought that we should be "kinder and gentler" in how we did our work, and this old spy-horse's rather (ahem) dynamic style didn't fit into their plans anymore. And then, one day, I received the following communique: From: HQ - Operations Section To: S.A.M. 50615 Re: Recall to active duty A mission profile has developed which requires your unique skills and background. The profile details are as follows:
Owing to your current status, the character profile we've developed for you is that of a middle-aged IT professional. Due to the nature of your mission and current budget considerations, your usual mission-spec vehicle will not be available. Instead, the motor-pool has developed a vehicular configuration which will meet both the mission requirements and our budget constraints. You will find your vehicle keys in the attached envelope. After I checked it for booby-traps, I opened the attached envelope, and found this: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/6...63_VJaMo-S.jpg That could only mean one thing ...I had to make my trip with this: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._5jSnm-M-3.jpg In other words, I was going to be a flipping two-wheeled road train! No smoke screen, no oil slicks, no heat-seeking missiles, no radar, no stealth mode, and no hot women! I suppose I could be thankful for small things, since this was a recon mission, I'd have to carry a fair bit of imagery gear with me... they actually gave me a secure way to carry it: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._feufX-M-3.jpg Will wonders never cease? |
Shutdown, Turnoff
2009-06-05.1 Shutdown, Turnoff
The bike's packed, I've just made the final arrangements for keeping homebase secure - the time has come to shutdown and turn off everything in sight.....because it's time to hit the road! <object height="385" width="480"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D81VJ6s2CmE&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></object> So, HQ, get off my back! |
Kitchener ON to Gatineau QC - Launch!
2009-06-05 Kitchener ON to Gatineau QC - Launch!
After collecting my gear and getting the transportation ready, it was time to make a short shakedown run around town before leaving Kitchener and heading out to the first safehouse located in Gatineau, Quebec. The bean-counters at HQ live in a world where every bean must be accounted for, so the odometer and clock reading is all for them. http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._x3fpK-S-3.jpg Next I had to check in with Director of Advanced Directives (aka D.A.D.): http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._jJkkM-S-3.jpg By way of comparison, the Matron Of Mystery (M.O.M.) lives in a highly classified world. If any imagery was traced back to me, it would quickly result in my taking up permanent residence in a small, windowless room for an extended period of time. <hr> And then I was off! With standard practice at the start of every mission required making sure the equipment was working properly, so the following images are me running the camera through it's paces while en-route to the first safe-house. First, some local topography: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._KKKDs-M-4.jpg then some infrastructure - there've been an accumulation of large cranes and heavy equipment gathered at this location for the better part of a year: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._H4gBj-M-3.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._4RVMM-M-3.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._yDc7Q-M-3.jpg and then - paydirt! A truckload of government agents on the prowl make for an excellent check to see if my cover would hold, and check out my vehicle-to-vehicle shooting capabilities! First I had to get past their standing instructions: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._ZqXnT-M-3.jpg and then sneak up and snap a shot of the agent before he could go to stealth mode: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._XH2zM-M-3.jpg and then make my escape.... victory! Bwahahahah. The rest of the day was pretty quiet - I got some more infrastructure shots: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._BitGJ-M-3.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._3RLx8-M-3.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._jiXEB-M-3.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._DDwBJ-M-3.jpg and then, just for fun, some geographical markers: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._SNrVU-M-4.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._fxhPD-M-3.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._w4paJ-M-3.jpg before I encountered another rider using a smaller version of my ride: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._meicp-M-3.jpg He didn't think much of me, which meant my cover was holding up and I was fitting in with the natives. Overall, the weather was good, the air was fresh, and everything worked as expected - you got to love it when all conditions are nominal. :clap |
Son, Um, Agent Mitty?
Crawl down off the porch roof before you hurt yourself or the cat. (keep it coming) |
good start...interesting technique....keep it up Tim.
Gatineau QC: Sneaking and Peaking
2009-06-06 Gatineau QC: Sneaking and Peaking in Gatineau QC
On arrival at the Gatineau safe-house, it didn't take long to de-brief the local agent and determine that Agent Kilo was no-where to be found. However, he was investigating a target of opportunity the next day, which would make for an excellent opportunity for some first-class sneaking and peaking. It sounded like fun to me, so we made plans, caught up on other business, and called it a night. |
Sneaking and Peaking
2009-06-06.1 Sneaking and Peaking in Gatineau QC
I'm sure the open-house imagery must've made the agents in Archaeological & Historical Section wet their pants. There were engines: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._bzyd2-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._2qD7u-M-1.jpg and bombs: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._yxG2C-M-1.jpg and aircraft similar to the ones that helped sink the Bismarck. http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._tY6nj-M-1.jpg there were also Hurricanes: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._amwLa-M-1.jpg and sparkly things: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._mbsmB-M-1.jpg a colorful Yak-52: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._gyU7q-M-1.jpg Some four-wheeled critters managed to sneak in as well: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._m4E6V-M-1.jpg I think they wanted to check out this "Beep Beep!" of an aircraft: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._wfCXm-M-1.jpg |
2009-06-06.2 Sneaking and Peaking in Gatineau QC
Some old warbirds were on display: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._p9wBx-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._didPG-M-1.jpg an old bomber: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._D9RB4-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._ewZdX-M-1.jpg a stunt plane: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._2XK7u-M-1.jpg Rumor has it this bird's pilot stopped in for lunch and an airshow ... er... open house broke out: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._pCqVH-M-1.jpg |

2009-06-06.5 Sneaking and Peeking in Gatineau QC
Then a pair of Russian Yak-52's decided they could show the Corsair and Mustang a thing or two... http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._9VeMH-M-1.jpg The take-off was in formation: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._WcFFq-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._3FAGJ-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._mkpxR-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._SS6JR-M-1.jpg The white Yak came down after a couple of fly-arounds: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._sXhFs-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._ZK5D4-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._X6KdR-M-1.jpg while the Red Yak-52 put on an impressive show all it's own: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._RnNEi-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._h88hn-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._u9NHY-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._5oXZJ-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._Bdt85-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._eCcV9-M-1.jpg and then came down looking for Ms White Yak..... http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._xXq4Q-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._jzvFb-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._eoKmr-M-1.jpg so he could show off for the lady: http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._6KGMk-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._pytzp-M-1.jpg http://valkyrie.smugmug.com/photos/5..._GrpaA-M-1.jpg I didn't get the impression Ms White Yak was very impressed. :lol3 |

Lumineers blasted by Hipster Runoff as "Civil-War-wave sounding bull****." But is that fair?
By Nic Turiciano | January 10th, 2013 | 2 commentsThe Lumineers at the Ogden Theatre, 12/30/12 (photos, review)
By Julio Enriquez | December 31st, 2012 | No Comments »The folk rock revival is alive and well thanks to the globalization of Mumford & Sons, the Avett Brothers and now, our local kids, the Lumineers. The triple bill of Shovels and Rope, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Lumineers at the Ogden Theatre on Sunday evening promised a later than usual start for the headliners, but not one moment was wasted on the victory lap.


text: Terradynamics could let you take future robot pets to the beach Technology 22 March 13 by Philippa Warr Tweet Shutterstock A modelling technique known as terradynamics predicts how robots with little legs move across sandy surfaces.Existing models tend to focus on movement involving solid and stable surfaces or in water but the majority of natural terrestrial and extraterrestrial surfaces have more complex dynamics -- sand, dust and soil, for example -- which need to be taken into account when predicting how animals and robots traverse tricky terrain, such as that on Mars.In response to these demands, physicists at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed terradynamics -- a way of modelling how pressure from legs affects a robot walking across a shifting surface."We now have the tools to understand the movement of legged vehicles over loose sand in the same way that scientists and engineers have had tools to understand aerodynamics and hydrodynamics," said Daniel Goldman of the Georgia Institute of Technology in a press release. "We are at the beginning of tools that will allow us to do the design and simulation of legged robots to not only predict their performance, but also to optimise designs and allow us to create new concepts."The model was developed by observing 3D-printed legs in a variety of shapes and configurations moving across a granular substrate and applying the measurements to existing knowledge of force interactions."We discovered that the force laws affecting this motion are generic in a diversity of granular media, including poppy seeds, glass beads and natural sand," said Chen Li, who also worked on the study. "Based on this generalisation, we developed a practical procedure for non-specialists to easily apply terradynamics in their own studies using just a single force measurement made with simple equipment they can buy off the shelf, such as a penetrometer."One of the potential uses of such modelling technology is improving robot movement on other planets. The Mars Rover Curiosity uses independently actuated wheels to navigate the dusty surface, but the ability to reliably use legs could improve the versatility and scope of future missions.

Ableton has released Live 7.0.2, a free update for registered users. You can download the update from http://www.ableton.com/latest_versions or by using the 'Check for updates...' command from Live's help menu.
What's in Live 7.0.2? A large number of updates and an even larger number of fixes for Live 7 , Sampler, Operator, Analog, Tension, and Electric.
I was really looking forward to this release because my song Midnight which was created in Live 6 wasn't playing back correctly in Live 7. In Live 7, the MIDI velocity was not interpreted in the exact same way. I'm happy to report that 7.0.2 fixed the problem.
Below is a list of highlights and a link to the full change log.

searching for best veal parm sandwich anywhere

eggplant and chicken are poor imitations to me.its all about being a carnivore
well you may not like chicken but the parm at Bay Cities Deli and Santa Monica is pretty damn good!
0 -
To withstand the steamy sandwich environment, veal parmesan needs to be slightly overfried, compared to the entree version, before baking with cheese and tomato sauce. I do that at home but don't know of any place in LA that's worth the trouble. I would have suggested Neil's, a nice, out-of-the-way Italian restaurant in San Pedro, but their online menu doesn't list even the (veal) entree. They do make sandwiches at lunch from chicken or eggplant parm.

iPhone versus iPod touch pricing: Say what?
What does it mean when a 16GB 3G iPhone costs about the same as an 8GB iPod touch? Is it the AT&T kickback economics finally coming into reality? Or are we going to see an iPod touch price drop sometime soon? Face it. The iPhone is just a better device than the iPod touch. And if you can get one cheaper? Why not. It has a built-in speaker and microphone too, assuming you can get past that activation screen.
So if you have the choice between buying one or the other, the iPhone is a really sweet alternative. And if the iPod touch comes down in price? Even better.

Apple's Collapse: A Scholarly Perspective
...During the first decade of the 21st century, Apple was an exception to the rule of the financialized corporation in the United States. Now, it seems, it is not.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Over the long weekend, I did one of the things I miss most about being a graduate student. I rediscovered there's no good reason why a PhD dropout can't read academic literature as often today as he did when he was knee-deep in academia.
In fact, financial media needs more journalists who, on some level, marry popular and academic approaches or, at the very least, add rigor to their own work by consulting scholarly research. What passes for "research" on Wall Street -- data sprung from convenience samples drawn by half-cocked analysts such as BTIG's Rich Greenfield -- wouldn't make it past the most lenient journal referee without the necessary author admissions, explanations and disclaimers.
Seeking an elevated level of rigor matters even more as the conversation around battleground companies and stocks such as Apple (AAPL - Get Report) continues to devolve.
In this article, I summarize and discuss Apple's Changing Business Model: What Should the World's Richest Company Do with All Those Profits by University of Massachusetts-Lowell professor William Lazonick, University of Sussex professor Mariana Mazzucato and research associate at UMass-Lowell's Center for Industrial Competitiveness Öner Tulum. Their article is forthcoming in Accounting Forum, but available now at The Academic-Industry Research Network's Web site. Throughout this article, portions of their work appear in italicized block quotes. I do my best to relay the academic argument in key, sometimes lengthy excerpts, but, as is the case with most popular media portrayals of academic work, I can't help but fall short. You really need to read the entire paper. First, because it's fantastic. Second, because it provides so much necessary context that I had no choice but to leave out, from historical support to the authors' theoretical framework to a useful list of references. And third, because the work comes from academics, not journalists, it might just get through to even the most ardent AAPL bulls. These are the people, particularly the company's CEO, who continue to desecrate Steve Jobs's legacy. Chide the ivory tower all you want, but you can't accuse professors of creating "click bait" to generate "page views." Academics aren't in the business of getting page views. A very small number do and an even smaller segment make real money off of any unusual mass exposure. On Page Two, I summarize the core of the authors' main points.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

CEE Power Risk/Reward Ratings: Views In Play
BMI View: Previously highlighted downside risks have played out, with our Risk/Reward (R/R) Ratings for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) broadly following a negative trajectory as regional market conditions remain stagnant. The average regional score has declined slightly, reflecting a weakening in sector-specific and macroeconomic conditions, with EU support for peripheral countries decreasing. Turkey, Russia and Poland continue to outperform, whilst Hungary shows little sign of upward movement from the bottom of our rankings.
A n overhaul of our methodology behind the p ower RRRs , coupled with the addition of Bulgaria to the regional portfolio, has resulted in some changes. BMI has introduced new RRRs for the Power service, and we want to strengthen this analytical tool by integrating aspects of our new Renewables RRRs and Infrastructure Project Finance ratings. The methodology behind the Power RRRs has also been enhanced by revising the individual weighting of various industry-specific factors, to provide a more accurate picture of the power markets.
As such, we have observed a broad increase in the industry risk scores for the countries in the CEE region. Sophisticated and well-established renewables policies (especially in the EU member states) have played a key role in boosting scores. Similarly, the incorporation of a project finance indicator in our ratings has provided a better quantification of the relatively lower risks faced by power projects in the majority of those countries when raising financing and repaying loans over the course of a project's life.
Mixed Picture, But Down Overall |
CEE Power Risk/Reward Ratings, Scores Out Of 100 |
However, even considering the improved metrics and the more accurate depiction of these markers that they provide, the ongoing eurozone debt crisis, growing signs of a slowdown in global economic activity and rising risk aversion amongst investors are weighing significantly on the region's performance. This is clearly reflected by the decline in the average regional score, down from 45.9 in Q312 to 45.1 in Q412.
Headwinds Make Picture Less Balanced |
CEE Power Industry Risk/Reward Ratings, Scores Out Of 100 |
This considered, and in light of the macroeconomic and-sector specific dynamics at play, we believe that the main themes for BMI's CEE power RRRs are:
Our outlook for the region remains relatively bearish, as evidenced by a widespread decline in Industry and Country Rewards. Despite there having been a Spanish bailout and renewed Greek commitment to the euro, eurozone conditions remain muted, thereby dampening growth prospects across the entire region.
As illustrated by our country risks and infrastructure analysts, gross fixed capital formation remains low across the board. As such, we see decreasing room for government investment in power infrastructure in the current fiscal environment. For instance, after years of uncertainty and numerous delays, in March 2012, Bulgaria formally abandoned construction of the 2000MW Belene nuclear power plant, citing funding difficulties.
We maintain our view that EU members will be among the worst affected, with weakened economic growth prospects impacting already modest growth rates.
That said, our view that the power sector of domestic-demand-led economies will outperform the region has played out well. Despite a decline in its reward rating, Poland has retained its third place in our regional table, as well as its leadership within the EU members' subset of our CEE portfolio.
Turkey is still top by some distance. We note that its score for Country Rewards has dropped from 54.00 in Q312 to 49.40 in Q412, supporting our more bearish short-term outlook. That said, potential in the power hungry country remains elevated, with Turkey being the sole member of our CEE portfolio to have maintained the same industry rewards score as the previous quarter.
Macroeconomic Woes Take Away Some Of The Shine
In previous analyses, we remarked that our power rates identified (and quantified) a clear distinction between the power sectors of EU and non-EU members in the region in terms of rewards and risks. Russia and Ukraine, and to a lesser extent Kazakhstan, offer relatively more attractive industry rewards on account of their significant market size and/or more bullish growth prospects; however, their overall score is significantly penalised not only by inherent country-specific risks, but also by the limited level of liberalisation, lack of subsidies and difficulties in accessing finance, and this is reflected in the country's low industry risks score.
Conversely, the EU member states generally present higher scores for both industry and country risks, thanks to their common commitments to market liberalisation and the substantial subsidies introduced to reach their renewables and carbon-related targets. Yet, lower reward rates highlight the relatively modest growth expectations in these power markets, which are limited by a small market size and positive, but restrained, growth in electricity consumption (calculated considering BMI's five-year forecasts).
Adverse macroeconomic conditions and potential difficulties in project finance have further exacerbated these differences. While risks remain higher in non-EU members, their RRR profiles appear more balanced. Conversely, high scores for strong regulatory frameworks and more friendly business environments dwarf falling industry rewards in EU members, confirming our view that comparatively strong regulation might do little to incentivise investments in these power markets over the short term.

Davis gets Posted
Buzz of the Week Most feds like to stay off the front pages of the newspapers because it often means something has gone wrong. By contrast, most politicians don't mind publicity -- most of the time. But in these days of ethical hypersensitivity, Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.) could not have been pleased with the July 28 edition of the Washington Post, which featured a Page 1, below-the-fold story headlined, "Wife, Friend Tie Congressman to Consulting Firm." The 4,350-word story suggests Davis, chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, provided additional access to clients of ICG Government, a consulting company led by Don Upson, a friend of Davis. Upson is a former congressional staff member and former Virginia technology official.
Putting specifics aside, the Post's story seems to be a harbinger of things to come. Ethical questions are increasingly pervasive in the business of government, perhaps more so than ever before. One reason is that procurement reforms enacted in the past decade encouraged agencies to buy the way the private sector does. But another reason is that the government is outsourcing more work than ever before.
These ethical questions could be the real test of whether decade-long procurement reforms continue or whether the government returns to a more regulated process.
Weighty issues, indeed.

ABSTRACT: Pesticides used in agriculture are designed to protect crops against unwanted species, such as weeds, insects, and fungus. Many compounds target the nervous system of insect pests. Because of the similarity in brain biochemistry, such pesticides may also be neurotoxic to humans. Concerns have been raised that the developing brain may be particularly vulnerable to adverse effects of neurotoxic pesticides. Current requirements for safety testing do not include developmental neurotoxicity. We therefore undertook a systematic evaluation of published evidence on neurotoxicity of pesticides in current use, with specific emphasis on risks during early development. Epidemiologic studies show associations with neurodevelopmental deficits, but mainly deal with mixed exposures to pesticides. Laboratory experimental studies using model compounds suggest that many pesticides currently used in Europe--including organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, ethylenebisdithiocarbamates, and chlorophenoxy herbicides--can cause neurodevelopmental toxicity. Adverse effects on brain development can be severe and irreversible. Prevention should therefore be a public health priority. The occurrence of residues in food and other types of human exposures should be prevented with regard to the pesticide groups that are known to be neurotoxic. For other substances, given their widespread use and the unique vulnerability of the developing brain, the general lack of data on developmental neurotoxicity calls for investment in targeted research. While awaiting more definite evidence, existing uncertainties should be considered in light of the need for precautionary action to protect brain development.Environmental Health 11/2008; 7:50. · 2.71 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The development of selective cell-permeable inhibitors of protein kinases whose aberrant activation contributes to cell transformation is a promising approach in cancer treatment. Emodin is a natural anthraquinone derivative that exhibits anti-proliferative effects in various cancer cell lines by efficient induction of apoptosis. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway has been shown to be central in the promotion of cell survival since the alteration of this signalling cascade is a frequent event in human malignancies. Previous published results indicated that treatment of cells with inhibitors of protein kinase CK2, such as emodin, induces apoptosis and that the anti-apoptotic effect of CK2 is partially mediated by target phosphorylation and up-regulation of AKT by CK2. In the present study, a screening with selected CK2 inhibitors induced a variable response with respect to AKT down-regulation, emodin being the most effective, suggesting that other mechanisms other than the inhibition of CK2 were responsible for the emodin-mediated modulation of AKT. We found that emodin does not directly affect AKT kinase. Furthermore, we show that the down-regulation of AKT is due to the emodin-mediated target inhibition of components of the PI3K pathway, which directly or indirectly affect AKT activity, i.e. the mammalian target of rapamycin and the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10, but not the phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1. Taken together, our results highlight a new mechanism by which emodin exerts anti-cancer activity and suggest the further investigation of plant polyphenols, such as emodin, as therapeutic and preventive agents for cancer therapy.The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology 02/2007; 39(1):227-37. · 4.24 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The 'regulatory' beta-subunit of protein kinase CK2 has previously been shown to interact with protein kinases such as A-Raf, c-Mos, Lyn and Chk1 in addition to the catalytic subunit of CK2. Sequence alignments suggest that these interactions have a structural basis, and hence other protein kinases harboring corresponding sequences may be potential interaction partners for CK2beta. We show here that Chk2 specifically interacts with CK2beta in vitro and in cultured cells, and that activation of Chk2 leads to a reduction of this interaction. Additionally, we show that the presence of the CK2beta-subunit significantly reduces the Chk2-catalysed phosphorylation of p53 in vitro. These findings support the notion that CK2beta can act as a general modulator of remote docking sites in protein kinase--substrate interactions.Oncogene 10/2005; 24(40):6194-200. · 8.56 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: By GST pull downs and co-immunoprecipitation analyses we found that recombinant Chk2 and HDM2 can form stable complexes in vitro. Chk2/HDM2 complexes were also detected in transfected Cos-1 cells over-expressing both proteins. Furthermore, we show that HDM2, as would be expected, severely affects the Chk2-catalyzed phosphorylation of p53. HDM2 itself is only slightly phosphorylated by Chk2. However, whereas HDM2 inhibits the Chk2-catalyzed p53 phosphorylation, HDM2 phosphorylation by Chk2 doubles in the presence of p53. The significance of the HDM2 phosphorylation is unknown, but it is possible that it might influence the stability of the HDM2/p53 complex.FEBS Letters 06/2005; 579(12):2604-8. · 3.34 Impact Factor -
Article: The pro-apoptotic FAS-associated factor 1 is specifically reduced in human gastric carcinomas.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Fas-associated factor 1, FAF1, is a protein, which was first identified as an interaction partner of the death receptor Fas. Not much is known about the function of FAF1, but it has been found that it is able to potentiate Fas-induced apoptosis in cell lines. To clarify the role of FAF1 in human cancer, a number of tumors from different organs were screened for expression of the protein, and it was only found reduced in gastric carcinoma tissue. Thus, 58 human gastric carcinomas were collected, and the expression of FAF1 was analyzed by Western blotting and in a few cases also by immunohistochemistry. The hypothesis was that since FAF1 is able to potentiate apoptosis, it would likely be reduced in the gastric carcinomas in order for them to escape apoptosis. We found that FAF1 was reduced in 50% (29/58) of the gastric carcinomas analyzed as compared to non-neoplastic gastric mucosa from the same patients. 26 of the investigated carcinomas contained signet ring cells, and FAF1 was significantly reduced in 69% of these (p=0.017), whereas it was only reduced in 34% of the carcinomas without signet ring cells. The observed reduction of FAF1 was predominantly caused by proteolytic cleavage of the protein. Additionally, 31 colorectal carcinomas were analyzed for expression of FAF1. Here, FAF1 was only reduced in 16% of the carcinomas when compared to non-neoplastic colorectal mucosa. Our findings support the hypothesis that FAF1 is reduced in gastric carcinomas compared to non-neoplastic tissue, and there was a significant relation between FAF1 reduction and content of signet ring cells in the gastric carcinomas. Also, the reduction of FAF1 is likely to be specific for gastric cancer, which might be due to the fact that signet ring cells are most frequently found in gastric cancers.International Journal of Oncology 11/2003; 23(4):1015-23. · 2.77 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Alterations in gene expression during apoptosis in HL-60 cells were identified by a cDNA based array analysis. Apoptosis was induced in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60, by incubation with 30 microM etoposide for 5 hours. Changes in gene expression occurring during apoptosis in these cells were detected using the "ATLAS cDNA Expression Array" technique. 40 genes were identified as differentially expressed in the apoptotic cells by at least a factor of two. 30 of these genes were down-regulated during apoptosis. Many of the down-regulated genes reflected decreased proliferative activity in the cells as well as decreased activity of survival pathways. Most of the genes, which were up-regulated during apoptosis, were genes involved in pathways leading to cell death and suppression of proliferation. Based on the up-regulations observed at the mRNA level, it is speculated that etoposide-induced apoptosis in the HL-60 cells proceeds via pathways involving factors such as TNFalpha, IGFBP3, SAPK1, AP-1 and GADD153/CHOP10. Four genes, which showed changes at the mRNA level, were also analyzed by Western blotting in order to confirm the observed differences at the protein level.APOPTOSIS 09/2003; 8(4):377-88. · 3.61 Impact Factor

Revise Your Resume, Get Interviews
I get calls and notes from job seekers asking me about all kinds of crazy plans to get certifications, take classes, pay job placement agencies, or otherwise spend a lot of money trying to get a job. What do I say? One, never pay anyone who says they can place you in a job; and two, before you invest a huge amount of time and money into something you may not need, look at the simple fixes first--like your resume.
Look at this note I got from Rebecca:
Hi Peggy,
Just a note to say THANK YOU for your help. Since I sent my newly revised resume, my phone is ringing and I am also receiving offers from e-mails for jobs. You Are GREAT!
God Bless,
Rebecca McConnell
She revised her resume and her phone started ringing. Does your resume need a revision, too?

Ecological study of whether hospitals' star ratings reflect clinical outcomes - BMJ Online First
The Government's star rating system for hospitals is misleading the public, say researchers in this week's BMJ, who found that seriously ill adults fared just as well in trusts with zero stars as in three star hospitals.
Comparing data from 102 acute hospital trusts, researchers found that the system used to award star ratings is based too heavily on measures like crude mortality rates, without accounting for differences in the types of patients treated. University hospitals, for example, tended to have lower mortality rates for critically ill patients because their patients were generally less seriously ill when they were admitted � and thus at less risk of dying � than in other hospitals.
The star system should instead use data from specialised clinical databases, considered alongside indicators such as waiting times and cleanliness. If the Government continues to base a ratings system on current data, say the authors, it will not meet its commitment to give proper information to patients on the performance of their hospital.

CMJ '09: OrganicArma at Ace of Clubs NYC
Categories: Local Music, Video
OrganicArma is one of a handful local bands who won a spot to play an official CMJ showcase through SonicBids. Their CMJ debut took place last Tuesday at the Ace of Clubs, on Great Jones Street in the East-ish Vilage. Here's a quick video probided by the folks at SonicBids, with a few seconds of performance and an interview afterwards. It looks like, for this gig, they eschewed much of their usual costumes and make-up, and performed as just a duo instead of a trio. Still, in the half-minute we get here, it seems like they managed to build up a pretty good groove.

The first time I met Suzanne Salamon, she told my fuming mother that at 74, she was practically a youngster in Suzanne's geriatric practice in Boston. She also complimented my mother on her pretty green eyes, which forever put her in my mother's corner.
My mother was so comfortable with Suzanne that she told her I was conspiring to "once and for all" put her in a nursing home. "We never got along," she said. But then Mom added, "Judy's the only one who takes care of me." Which was it? Suzanne had seen contradictory impulses in other patients. "No one wants to send you to a nursing home," she said, ever so gently. Even my porcupine mother appreciated that Suzanne Salamon is a dream of a doctor — empathetic, smart, humble.
What I didn't realize at the time of my mother's first visit to Suzanne, is that I knew her personal story through her sister Julie Salamon's books. I had read Julie's autobiographical novel "White Lies," about the child of Holocaust survivors whose father found meaningful work as a country doctor in a small southern Ohio town. Julie's memoir, "Net of Dreams," opens with Julie, her mother Lily (Szimi) and stepfather visiting Auschwitz where her mother had been interned. Later in the trip the trio cross paths with Steven Spielberg who was filming "Schindler's List" on location in Poland.
The sisters recently teamed up in Boston for a Hadassah-sponsored program called "Health Care from the Inside Out: Two Sisters, Two Perspectives." Both women speak from experience: Suzanne is associate chief of geriatrics at Beth Israel Hospital and Julie as the author of the nonfiction book "Hospital: Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity, Plus Red Tape, Bad Behavior, Money, God, and Diversity on Steroids," about Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.
The Salamon sisters' physician father, Alexander (Sanyi) Salamon, had settled the family in Adams County, Ohio after a difficult and ultimately false start in New York. Like many solo practitioners in rural areas, his office was attached to the house. The sisters told a story that late one night there was a knock on the door of their family's house. A couple had just received word that their son had died in Vietnam and the mother was inconsolable. "I always wondered what my father did aside from tranquilizing the woman," Suzanne said. Their stoic father never talked about his first wife and young daughter who perished in Dachau, but Suzanne wondered if he mentioned them that night to the woman? "As a mother I looked at that story differently. As a doctor that story taught me a lot about empathy."
The year that Julie was at Maimonides, she observed the tension between the bottom line and patient care. "The business of a hospital comes down to people. It's a continuum of experiences from which emerged a lot of discussion of respect, communication or lack thereof. There are competing pressures to secure reimbursement and spend the right amount of time in a system hurrying them." She added that the moment a patient is admitted to the hospital, the insurance company is forcing the staff to plan the discharge.
The 85-and-over population is growing and short visits for patients in their 80s and 90s is impractical. There are complicated medical histories to sift through, difficult discussions about end-of-life issues such as designating a healthcare proxy, when to start palliative care, or whether to insert a feeding tube. "My job is to bring up tough subjects," Suzanne said. To that end, she never uses euphemisms with her patients, — with the exception of characterizing Alzheimer's as "memory loss."
I looked around at the mostly senior audience and wondered how many of them had healthcare proxies? It took 15 years for my sister and I to convince our mother that she needed help with her finances and health care challenges. Did my tablemates more easily accept help from their adult children?
At Maimonides, Julie observed a patient's room transformed into a sacred space when dealing with end of life issues. Stereotypes between doctors and patients fell away as real people emerged. "Finding moments of grace can be difficult," she said.
"But part of what you give to your patients is your humanity," Suzanne added.
