Lipid-functionalized Dextran Nanosystems to Overcome Multidrug Resistance in Cancer: A Pilot Study

Get AccessAbstract
The toxicity of anticancer agents and the difficulty in delivering drugs selectively to tumor cells pose a challenge in overcoming multidrug resistance (MDR). Recently, nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool in addressing some of the barriers to drug delivery, including MDR in cancer, by utilizing alternate routes of cellular entry and targeted delivery of drugs and genes. However, it is unclear whether doxorubicin (Dox) can be delivered by nanotechnologic approaches.
We asked whether (1) Dox-loaded lipid-functionalized dextran-based biocompatible nanoparticles (Dox/NP) can reverse MDR, (2) Dox/NP has more potent cytotoxic effect on MDR tumors than poly(ethylene glycol)-modified liposomal Dox (PLD), and (3) multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) small interfering RNA loaded in these nanoparticles (siMDR1/NP) can modulate MDR.
To create stable Dox/NP and siMDR1/NP, we used two different lipid-modified dextran derivatives. The effect of Dox or Dox/NP was tested on drug-sensitive osteosarcoma (KHOS) and ovarian cancer (SKOV-3) cell cultures in triplicate and their respective MDR counterparts KHOSR2 and SKOV-3TR in triplicate. We determined the effects on drug retention, transfection efficacy of siMDR1/NP, and P-glycoprotein expression and the antiproliferative effect between Dox/NP and PLD in MDR tumor cells.
Fluorescence microscopy revealed efficient uptake of the Dox/NP and fluorescently tagged siMDR1/NP. Dox/NP showed five- to 10-fold higher antiproliferative activity at the 50% inhibitory concentration than free Dox in tumor cells. Dox/NP showed twofold higher activity than PLD in MDR tumor cells. siMDR1/NP (100 nM) suppressed P-glycoprotein expression in KHOSR2.
Dextran-lipid nanoparticles are a promising platform for delivering Dox and siRNAs.
Clinical Relevance
Biocompatible dextran-based nanoparticles that are directly translatable to clinical medicine may lead to new potential therapeutics for reversing MDR in patients with cancer.

text: York County v. MLRB and Teamsters, No. AP-02-64, Affirming No. 02-UDA-01 STATE OF MAINE SUPERIOR COURT CIVIL ACTION YORK, ss. DOCKET NO. AP-02-64 YORK COUNTY, Petitioner ORDER v. AND DECISION MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD and TEAMSTERS UNION LOCAL 340, Respondents York County has appealed from a decision and order on unit determination appeal of the Maine Labor Relations Board. The Board decided that a bargaining unit composed of the four captains in the York County Sheriff's Department could be represented by the same union, Teamsters Union Local 340, that represents other employees at the Sheriff's departments through different bargaining units. Based on the Board's ruling the captains would be represented by the same union, though in a different bargaining unit, as the people that they supervise. The County does not contest the captains right to be represented by a union and does not contest either their being placed together in a bargaining unit or there being in a separate unit from other employees. The County has argued before the Board and now before this Court that the captains can join a union but it has to be a different one from the one chosen by the other employees. In 1983 the Board was asked the same question in the case of the Town of Kittery v. Teamsters Local Union No. 48, Case No. 83-A-02. In that case the three member board unanimously found that a union may be the bargaining agent for both "rank-and-file [1] _______________________________________________________________________________________ and the supervisory employees of the same public employer", see page 2 of the Board's decision. When this case was presented to the Board in September of 2002 it reached the same decision, again unanimously. The Law Court has just reaffirmed its long held position regarding judicial review of a state agency's interpretation of a statute that is both administered by the agency and within its expertise. In Competitive Energy Services, LLC v. Public Utilities Commission, 2003 ME 12, 15 (January 30, 2003) the Law Court stated, "First, we determined de novo whether the statute is ambiguous or unambiguous.... Then we either review the Commission's construction of the ambiguous statute for reasonableness or plainly construe the unambiguous statute.... An agency's interpretation of an ambiguous statute it administers is reviewed with great deference and will be upheld unless the statute plainly compels a contrary result". Also see Langley v. Maine State Employees Association, SEIU, 2002 ME 32, 8, 791 A.2d 100, 102. My review of the Maine statutes does not suggest an ambiguity and requires me to "plainly construe the unambiguous statute." The Board relied on several provisions of the Municipal Public Employees Labor Relations Law (Act), 26 M.R.S.A. 961-et seq., in reaching its conclusion that the same union may represent the bargaining units for both supervisors and subordinates. The first section of the Act, 26 M.R.S.A. 961, is entitled "Purpose" and states It is declared to be the public policy of this State and it is the purpose of this chapter to promote the improvement of the relationship between public employers and their employees by providing a uniform basis for recognizing the right of public employees to join labor organizations of their own choosing and to be represented by such organizations in collective bargaining for terms and conditions of employment. Likewise, 26 M.R.S.A. 963 entitled "Right of public employees to join labor organizations" indicates, at page 353, 2 _______________________________________________________________________________________ No one shall directly or indirectly interfere with, intimidate, restrain, coerce or discriminate against public employees or a group of public employees in the free exercise of their rights, hereby given, voluntarily to join, form and participate in the activities of organizations of their own choosing for the purposes of representation and collective bargaining, or in the free exercise of any other right under this chapter. Both sections refer to labor organizations "of their own choosing." There is no statutory provision, which could have been in the Act initially or added to it through a subsequent amendment, that qualifies or restates the language to read "of their own choosing unless their subordinates have chosen the same labor organization." I am required to read the statutes as they are written, not as they could have or, from the County's view, should have been written. The next statutory section relied upon by the Board is 26 M.R.S.A. 966(1) governing bargaining units. This statute deals with issues of the appropriateness of a unit for collective bargaining purposes and whether a supervisory position can be included in a bargaining unit. It does not appear from the statute that a supervisory position would of necessity have to be excluded from the bargaining unit. If a supervisor could be in the same unit it follows that a supervisor could, perhaps even more easily, be in the same union. More importantly there is nothing in the text of Section 966(1) that suggests that the members of a bargaining unit composed of supervisors has to be in a separate union. The fourth statutory reference by the Board is to 26 M.R.S.A. 967(2) governing elections. While this statute is not central to my analysis, the Board is correct that the executive director of the Board is to certify the organization that receives a majority of the votes cast as the bargaining agent. The Board is correct that the statute does not require the Board to examine whether the winning bargaining agent also represents other employees of the public employer. 3 _______________________________________________________________________________________ The final statutory section cited by the Board is 26 M.R.S.A. 966(4)(E) which states that, "a bargaining unit composed of a majority of supervisors may not merge under this subsection with any other bargaining unit." If the supervisors could not be in the same union as the subordinate employees then there would be no need for this legislative provision. The statutes are not ambiguous. If they were the result would be the same as the Board's interpretation of these statutes, which it administers and which are within its expertise, has been consistent for two decades. Great deference would be given to these interpretations, as the statutes do not plainly compel a different result. The County has ably briefed and argued its case. Maine has chosen a different path, perhaps the one less traveled by, than did the federal government or some other states. It is not for the Superior Court to decide these questions of policy. The Board was fully correct in its analysis of and interpretation of the Act. A review of the entire Act as a whole would also support the decision of the Board. The entry is: Decision and Order on Unit Determination Appeal of September 27, 2002 of the Maine Labor Relations Board is affirmed. Dated: January 31, 2003 /s/_______________________________ Paul A. Fritzsche Justice, Superior Court 4 _______________________________________________________________________________________

Dictionary » A » Acid AcidAcid (Science: chemical, chemistry) a fundamental category of many compounds whose water-based solutions have a sour taste, turn blue litmus paper red and can combine with metals to form salts. They are chemical compounds which yield hydrogen ions or protons when dissolved in water, whose hydrogen can be replaced by metals or basic radicals, or which react with bases to form salts and water (neutralization). An extension of the term includes substances dissolved in media other than water. Specific types of acids include: Arrhenius acid: any chemical that increases the number of free hydrogen ions (H_) when added to a water-based solution. The more free hydrogens produced, the stronger the acid. Bronsted or Bronsted-Lowry acid: any chemical that acts as a proton donor in a chemical reaction. lewis acid: any chemical that accepts two electrons to form a covalent bond during a chemical reaction. Containing acid; an acid taste.Any of various water-soluble compounds having a sour taste and capable of turning litmus red and reacting with a base to form a salt.Substances that have a ph of lower than 7 (neutral) that can dissolve in water.

Where SC4 really shines, however, is in its character-creation mode. The more you use your custom characters, the more options you unlock -- with a wealth of weapons and armor pieces offering boosts to strength, impact, speed, and more, while certain stat modifiers improve your chances to escape throws or reverse counters.
Soulcalibur IV is the definition of how to make a sequel to a beloved franchise. Everything is dialed up and the amount of content will keep gamers occupied for months to come. The fighting engine is deep enough for hardcores to take pleasure in while easy enough for casuals to simply pick up and enjoy.
Graphically the game is simply jaw dropping. Even with all the graphical masterpieces we have seen recently, Soul Calibur IV stands out on its own.
An amazingly deep and beautiful fi ghting experience, marred by a couple of unnecessary characters, but essential nonetheless. If the online modes simulate the feeling of a traditional one-onone battle, we'll be in combat heaven.
It has an excellent game system that's been honed considerably for this release. It offers plenty of game modes, online play for those that want it, and it also looks and sounds great. Whatever system you get it for, you won't be disappointed.
Well Soulcalibur IV has done both, it has wowed me and evolved all in one fell swoop. In four words…Buy Soulcalibur IV today!
It's not just a classic game, it's an essential purchase – no matter which version you decide to get it for.
Soulcalibur has never been broken, and while there is certainly room for some novel approaches in the fighting genre, I would argue that no game has of yet come close in terms of subtlety and inventiveness.
Soul Calibur IV just oozes quality. It is a very polished game that is crammed with a variety of different play modes. The game is an absolute must-have for every fan of the genre. Because it is easy to pick up and play, Soul Calibur IV is also suited for those unfamiliar with these games.
No matter how you slice it, Soulcalibur IV is a great game--even for those who don't consider themselves hardcore fans of the fighting genre.
SCIV takes the existing winning formula and carefully adds new elements to make this edition the best edition ever.
The additions that have been added work in the game's favor and make it the best fighting game this generation. The customization, online play, and great game mechanics make this title a must-purchase for any fan of the series.
It builds into a complex battle of patience and wills. [Sept 2008, p.90]
SoulCalibur IV brings out all the best in the series, and at the same time polishes it with some pertinent additions that make it truly shine.
A well-produced, polished 3D fighter that no PS3 owner should be without, and is definitely one of the system's must-have party games. [Oct 2008, p.78]
In the end, whether it's your first time touching a Soul game or not, it's hard to not appreciate what's been done here: beautiful, crisp and bouncy graphics mix well with a fighter heavy on a classic formula of strategy, timing and execution, with it all backed by inviting-yet-deep character customization and creation.
The fighting is fluid and well-paced, the characters are all interesting and the game wields an eccentric style that sets it apart from all other 3D fighters.
As for total newcomers, welcome to what is, in my opinion, the most fun, fully 3D fighter on the market. [Sept 2008, p.76]
It's exactly what fighting games needed - a plateful of stupid with a side-order of smarts. [Sept 2008, p.64]
One of the strongest aspects of Soul Calibur 4 is its sense of style. Meticulously detailed mechanical gnomes, lizard-people wielding oversized tableware, and titanic, lasciviously rendered breasts may not be to everyone's liking, but there's no denying it all makes an impact.
The soul still burns! Yes, it's very familiar and the changes that were made like the critical finnish aren't 100% successful, but the game still puts up a great fight both for novice and advanced players. Beautiful HD graphics, internet play and a versatile character editor add value to the update. [Sept 2008]
Frame-counters and other savants will probably have issues with some aspects of Soulcalibur IV's gameplay, but the average player or fighting game enthusiast is well served by this title's array of game types and tight weapon-based duels. I know I'm more than satisfied.
A great addition to the franchise. There's a good amount of play modes, excellent character customization options, a strong character roster, smooth (though intricate) controls, and exciting online play.
In the end, Soul Calibur IV is a great title to have in your collection, and as we said before, you really don't need to be a fighting expert.
It's much easier to get into than Tekken or Virtua Fighter, and the characters are generally – in my opinion at least – much more interesting.
The game runs well, looks beautiful, sports great music and obviously has enjoyable combat. The PS3 and 360 versions are just about identical (barring the differing guest characters), though I felt that the optional install on the PS3 made things feel even quicker and more polished.
Soul Calibur IV is a beautiful looking fighting game that pushes the long running franchise into some new ground while keeping the core gameplay near the same level.
Even if it's not as complex as Tekken, and it doesn't have the online component of Virtua Fighter 5, with its top-notch graphic, captivating feeling and characters and fighting style diversity, Soul Calibur IV is without a doubt one of the best 3D fighters around.
Even though SoulCalibur IV has a lot of graphical and gameplay polish, it's still nowhere near a perfect game. A stunted Story mode and the completely unfair Apprentice character detract greatly from the single-player experience, and as it is, the online multiplayer is literally broken.
Even with the differences between the two versions, one thing is for certain among all hardcore fighting game fans in need of another Soul Calibur - you do not own Soul Calibur IV, Soul Calibur IV owns you and all of your spare time once it enters your house.
The question, then, isn't whether or not you should play Soulcalibur IV, it's which version you should play.
Not quite the technical equal of "Virtua Fighter" but still brilliant. [Sept 2008, p.64]
SoulCalibur IV doesn't stir up the pot too much, offering mostly the same gameplay as previous entries. Fortunately, the franchise has it down to a science, and the addition of online play further sweetens the deal.
A hugely improved fighting title that harks back to the excitement of the original. If you're a fan of this genre, you absolutely have to pick up Soul Calibur 4.
Ultimately however the extra fruit is aimed at making you stick with the game longer (logically enough). And while I wouldn't go as far as to say SC4 has reached the exalted heights of Virtua Fighter it does pretty good in it's own right.
Soul Calibur IV isn't a revolution, but it's one hell of an evolution. Although it does little to redefine the fighting genre, it manages to further advance the franchise with improvements across the board on an already fantastic foundation.
Soul Calibur IV it is still one of the best of its genre, but we can't help to feel the absence of strong innovations. The online multiplayer is the lasting appeal lifesaver. [Sept 2008]
Soulcalibur IV is exactly what the fans expected it to be, and a bit more.
While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it does handle almost everything right.
If you like beat 'em ups you can't go wrong with Soul Calibur IV.
As I have stated before I am a huge Mortal Kombat fan and was not excited at all about reviewing this game. After playing for about an hour I quickly forgot about my feelings and become a huge fan.
SCIV certainly doesn't break any new ground, but it continues to do what it does best by providing us with some of the best weapons-based fighting action in town. The character customization is worth the price of admission, and the online game will keep you coming back for more.
Soul Calibur IV is one of the best fighters currently available on the PS3 and is certainly the best weapons fighter. The core fighting system is still there and the additions of online play and the Character Creation mechanic really bring more fun to the game as a whole.
It's worth picking up, though. Even if it doesn't pan out to be a great tourney title, there's plenty of fun to be had in the meantime.
Punishing artificial intelligence, unbalanced online play and annoying lag will have you chucking your controller. Those small issues aside, Soulcalibur IV is razor sharp.
Despite the minor step backwards in single player depth, SoulCalibur IV remains a gorgeous, fast-paced, accessible fighter that also has enough depth for expert level play. While online is more of a novelty than a functional feature, players looking for a next-gen upgrade to the on-the-couch weapons clasher of the Dreamcast days will find the same addicting gameplay here.
It's fundamentally the same game as "Soul Calibur III", only with more fighters, an online mode, and more create-a-character customizations. It's remarkably well produced and visually sumptuous, but its appeal remains limited to hardcore fighting veterans and casual button-mashers. This is a good game, but not a great one.
Despite the new gameplay features failing to change Soulcalibur's gameplay, Soulcalibur IV still manages to provide one of the most engaging and rewarding fighters around - plus Darth and Yoda aren't entirely that bad.
It's a tale of swords and souls in which everyone keeps their dignity until you knock off their cuirass and make them fight in their bra. [Sept 2008, p.84]
It's accessible, packs deep character customization, has much needed online play, not to mention it looks great and runs smoothly.
In reality, this is a reserved effort from Namco Bandai, and feels almost as if Project Soul has merely dipped its toe in the next-gen water for fear of causing too big a splash. It's gorgeous, and an essential purchase for any fighting game fan who likes aggressive counters and weapon clashes, but it's no fighting game revolution.
Soul Calibur IV provides the same great quality of fighting gameplay and presentation as you'd expect. Just don't be surprised if it doesn't leave the same impression as the previous titles.
While it isn't the best fighter to come out in 2008, it does a lot of things well enough to keep fans happy and intrigue new-comers.
This is easily the best Soul Calibur package to date, though there is a niggling feeling that things may not have moved on enough. [Sept 2008, p.114]
Soul Calibur IV brings the supremely balanced fantasy fighting to the next gen systems, with great success. There are a few drawbacks, such as the spotty online and the woefully inadequate storylines, but the pros far outweigh the cons.
As it stands, I personally rank this a good bit below the Dreamcast original in terms of quality, but above all other installments.
A good title, but not great.
Even with all the positives running for the game, I still felt a little bit underwhelmed by SCIV, it's definitely still a solid entry to the series and finally being able to play online is worth the buy. If you are new to the series, I do not think you'll be disappointed.
Soul Calibur IV is a fighter with as much a depth as players are willing to invest. We were hoping for a bit more innovation in this go-round, but at the end of the day, we can settle for more of the same good Soul Calibur gameplay.
This fourth entry in the series offers a great production value with a slower tempo, allowing you to perfect your techniques. The character creation mode is the stand out feature offering gamers a jam packed mode with a slew of options for creating unique characters. New features such as Soul Gauge and Critical Attacks go unnoticed though. Despite this, and a somewhat uneven balance in the character roster, Soul Calibur IV is a great value for your money. This is fighting games at it's best.
Possibly the best fighting game on the market. The fourth installment compiles every good aspect from previous games brings a couple of new improvements and –as usual- comes in stunning graphics. Multiplayer modes guarantee immortality for this title (or at least until the next episode). [Sept 2008]
With the story mode, Tails of Swords, create a character and online modes, there are plenty of reasons to keep playing if you have no friends locally to play.
Yes, there's plenty to do here, but you're really going to have to put in some effort to get the best experience back, and the game doesn't incentivise it beyond the hope of improving your skills.
My verdict is that Soul Calibur IV looks great, but isn't especially accessible to newcomers.
Overall, it's sort of hard to recommend Soulcalibur IV to anyone who isn't already a big fan of the series. It felt like everything I liked about the game (the actual fighting) was countered by something else (the meaningless story mode, equipment stats, Ivy's creepy-looking boobs) that made me want to take the disc out and put it away forever.

Seagulls swoop for winger LuaLua
The 19-year-old, younger brother of former Toon and Portsmouth forward Lomana LuaLua, could make his debut against League One leaders Norwich on Saturday. "Kazenga is an excellent addition to the squad as he will give us different options," said the Seagulls boss. "He can play on the left or right and is very quick. I've watched him a couple of times and I know his qualities." LuaLua has made 12 appearances for Newcastle and spent three months on loan with Doncaster last season.

Sunday, May 09
PNC Park
Attendance: 17,342
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Yadier Molina knocked in three runs, while Joe Mather and Ryan Ludwick each had two hits, two runs scored and an RBI, as the Cardinals rolled to an 11-4 drubbing of the Pirates.
Adam Wainwright (5-1) was solid through six innings, allowing two runs on five hits to go with two walks and seven strikeouts for St. Louis, which took two of three in the series.
Every Cardinals position player in the starting lineup either scored or knocked in a run.
"The offense that our team brought today was great," Wainwright said. "I really wasn't very good today, but my team played amazing."
Garrett Jones hit a two-run double, while Paul Maholm (2-3) was touched for six runs -- four earned -- on six hits and three walks in just 3 1/3 innings for Pittsburgh, which was coming off a three-game sweep of the Cubs prior to this set.
"[Maholm] didn't seem like he found a rhythm. He was missing his spots off the plate, which is uncharacteristic of him," Pirates manager John Russell.
St. Louis put up a four-spot in the third. Tyler Greene started things with a one-out double and scored on Mather's base hit to the right field gap. A Ludwick single and two-out walk to David Freese loaded the bases, and Molina worked another free pass to force in a run. Nick Stavinoha capped the flurry with a two-run double to the right field wall.
A pair of miscues in the field made it 6-0 in the fourth. Andy LaRoche booted a ball hit by Greene, who scored when Lastings Milledge misplayed a fly ball from Ludwick two batters later. Ludwick later came in on a Freese groundout off Brian Bass.
Jones got the Pirates on the board in the bottom half with a two-run double, but the Cardinals broke it open in the sixth with five more.
Bass loaded the bases on an infield single and two walks, and Molina hit a two-out single to left to bring in Mather and Albert Pujols. Pinch-hitter Colby Rasmus and Brendan Ryan added run-scoring base hits.
Bass was pulled after walking Wainwright to load the bases, and D.J. Carrasco hit Greene to force in a run.
Ronny Cedeno and pinch-hitter Delwyn Young had RBI singles in the ninth off Blake Hawksworth to account for the final margin.

Chef Chad Launches Bank Street Kitchen
Posted by Nick Gray on August 25, 2011Brussel sprouts. That is the vegetable Chad Goslee had to eat as a kid because they were "good for him."
The mere mention of them made him cringe.
Today, however, as a grown-up with a professional interest in children's diets, Goslee sees a place on the menu for that and a few other unfairly maligned vegetables. Brussels sprouts — freshly harvested and prepared well — are in, and the new Executive Chef at Bank Street College of Education isn't kidding when he says their occasional inclusion in school lunches is cause for excitement.
"I think kids can be, and are, more adventurous in what they'll eat than we give them credit for," says Goslee — "Chef Chad" as he's already known around the Bank Street campus. In just a few day school starts, and students will be greeted with an exciting new lunch and food program designed by this French Culinary Institute trainee.
Video: Chef Chad Goslee on what he looks forward to most this school year.
Bank Street staff and some School for Children parents were delighted volunteers during this week's test run. A self-service salad bar made its debut with a colorful spread of fresh ingredients. Along with varieties of lettuce and other salad staples, there were sprouts, pearl tomatoes, black bean salsa with corn from New Jersey farms, edamame and a tasty ginger soy dressing. Fresh fruit rounded out the appetizing display.
Hot lunch items featured a savory roast chicken on one day, and a soul-food pairing of tangy pork loin with collard greens bought from a local farm on another. An unexpected treat: delicately wrapped Asian veggie rolls.
Chef Chad 's approach to cooking for an entire school is to employ fresh ingredients and prepare food simply, but in a way that brings out varieties of flavor and color. He has hired five associate chefs, all with culinary training, and he anticipates bringing aboard more kitchen staff as the school year progresses.
Originally from Kentucky, Goslee comes to Bank Street from The Calhoun School in Manhattan where he was sous chef to Robert Surles, a fellow FCI alumnus better known as school-lunch impresario and cookbook author Chef Bobo. Chef Chad spent five years immersed in Chef Bobo's "Eat Right Now" approach to combining fresh meals, nutrition and instruction for students in the importance of diet to health and well-being. And he's bringing much of what he absorbed while there to his culinary responsibilities at Bank Street.
"Lunch can be a learning experience," says Chef Chad.
One thing Goslee says he's learned from his time at Calhoun and, more recently, watching his young daughter as she learns to eat selectively, is that adults need not fear children recoiling from previously untried foods. With good menu planning and preparation, he believes kids will be as happy eating brussels sprouts as they would devouring ballpark hot dogs.
Parents wanting to sign children up for the new lunch program have two more opportunities to sample the offerings and ask questions: lunch on Aug. 30 and an open meeting on Sept. 8, the first day of school, co-hosted by Chef Chad and SFC Dean Alexis Wright.

If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise, if (1) the testimony is based upon sufficient facts or data, (2) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods, and (3) the witness has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts of the case.37
The commentary accompanying the revised rule38 recites the "Daubert factors" and then goes on to explain that:
Courts both before and after Daubert have found other factors relevant in determining whether expert testimony is sufficiently reliable to be considered by the trier of fact. These factors include:
Whether experts are proposing to testify about matters growing naturally and directly out of research they have conducted independent of the litigation, or whether they have developed their opinions expressly for purposes of testifying.
Whether the expert has unjustifiably extrapolated from an accepted premise to an unfounded conclusion.39
Whether the expert has adequately accounted for obvious alternative explanations.

has called me 33 times in 5 days. no one ever their when you pick up
All Comments (36)
they call 5 times a day. claiming I have an over due account. with wells Fargo. I don't bank with them. but they say someone used my number and there is nothing they can do to stop calling
picked up and they hung up. spam caller.
Got a call from this number also. I missed the call (thankfully) and do not have my vm activated to receive worthless messages. Why do they keep calling? If it is Wells Fargo, I know it is not for me, don't bank with them. Signing up with the DNC (Nat. Do Not Call) does not work. They ignore it and pester you anyway. There is nothing one can do about these troublemakers. No one will do a thing if it don't happen to them personally if they have the ability to do so. So why bother with the DNC?
this is a scam! dont give them any info. all welsfargo #s will leave a message and there "overdratf" # they call from is 877 i think and if they call you it wont be more then once a day and they will leave a message with there contact info.

Game Journalists Go Head to Head in 'The Metagame' 23
from the ready-fight dept.
from the ready-fight dept.
The Metagame event, held this past GDC in San Francisco, garnered a good deal of buzz ... even if not that many people had a chance to see it. The folks behind GameLab set up another session of the inventive game-knowledge gameshow, and pitted two pairs of journalists against each other to see who could better argue their (randomly determined) cases. The results are not only hilarious, but viewable on the MTV website.

Psarrou, Alexandra and Gong, Shaogang and Walter, Michael (2002) Recognition of human gestures and behaviour based on motion trajectories. Image and Vision Computing, 20 (5-6). pp. 349-358. ISSN 0262-8856

Human activities are characterised by the spatio-temporal structure of their motion patterns. Such structures can be represented as temporal trajectories in a high-dimensional feature space of closely correlated measurements of visual observations. Models of such temporal structures need to account for the probabilistic and uncertain nature of motion patterns, their non-linear temporal scaling and ambiguities in temporal segmentation. In this paper, we address such problems by introducing a statistical dynamic framework to model and recognise human activities based on learning prior and continuous propagation of density models of behaviour patterns. Prior is learned from example sequences using hidden Markov models and density models are augmented by current visual observations.

Fiora's ultimate is bugged. For a specific instance: If Fiora is ulting, and a blitzcrank times his Ult during Fiora's "check" phases of her ult (where she seems to pop up for a short second and checks if she can hit that target or not), blitzcrank can silence Fiora and cancel her ultimate part way through. 1) Fiora ult 2) Blitz times ult during Fiora's ult's check phase 3) Watch Fiora's ult become useless

Hi Loken Stoneheart, I spent like 30 minutes on this, and I can't not reproduce it. Can you provide any more information??
Ark Angel HFB
Senior Member
While I've died to aoe during the ult, I've never had it cancelled partway through and I have mained Fiora Jungle since mid season 3. I will say though, her Riposte (w) says it reflects attacks by champions or large monsters, and the first clear or two that is the case (except both double golems proc it), however after that it reflects any neutral monster's attack. I'm wondering if it isn't coded like Pantheon's aegis where it proc's after a certain damage threshold and is this intended? Steps to reproduce: Play Fiora Jungle -> Clear 2-4 times -> notice your W procs on little wraiths, little wolves, & little lizards (everything you don't want it to proc on).
An easy way to reproduce the bug on Fiora's ult is to throw a Draven's Stand Aside directly into a Fiora that is ulting, or have a Fiora ult a Nunu that is channeling Absolute Zero. She should (in my experience) be "knocked out" of her ult by stand aside, or take damage from the Absolute Zero.
Junior Member
Sadly, this is not a bug. During Bladewaltz, fiora is untargetable, but not invincible. Blitzcranks ult does not target, so damage is still applied. if ignite or malzahar's malific visions are on fiora, they still damage her. if fiora is ulting ontop of enemies over morgana's aoe, you take damage while in the aoe. if quinn were to use her Q and hit an ally next to fiora's model when ulting, fiora gets blinded (and consequently her ult now deals no damage for the duration of the blind). Also, the "turret bug" is the fact that at the end of each tick fiora becomes targetable, hence the turret acquiring a target. you can get hit by things like lux's or morgana's snare during that brief time window, same with a nid spear (had all of these happen to me at least once). Fiora is buggy, but she is slated for a rework that sounded pretty cool if nothing else, so there is that. Edit: The riposte thing is that like pantheon's shield, it will reflect damage that is X or more, but the tool tip specifies only certain targets and is not true. don't remember the exact damage threshold, but clear 2-4 is around the time it happens.
@RIOT Fiora's Ultimate can be interrupted by Malzahar's Ultimate!!!!!! Happens very often.

Don't get discouraged by the first few kills. It often happened to mee, that it was like 2 to 6 kills for the enemy. (Mostly because a Shaco etc.) But mid to lategame you suddenly roll over the enemies, because, you know, your team ganks, while their Shaco is jungling or doing whatever.
It's impossible to go up the solo que ladder ranks unless you play a carry, and it can't be any carry, but an OP carry.

For years I have wanted a 4" Ruger Security Six .357 Mag. It was always one of those things, either I had the money and none were to be found, or I'd find one and not have the money.
This evening I stopped at the LGS. There behind the counter I spotted a Ruger Security/Service grip sticking out from behind a box (Ruger checkering was distinctive on those models). Asked the clerk if it was in fact a Ruger. He said "Yes, that he had just taken it in trade about an hour before". He said he wasn't sure which model it was off the top of his head. When he picked it up the adjustable rear sights were obvious., a Security Six. It's a 2 3/4" model, but super clean. Rotation line on the cylinder is barely discernible. No scratches or holster wear on it. Doesn't appear to have been fired more than a few times, if at all. According to the serial # it was manufactured in 1984. Asking price was $450. I got it for $425. Can't wait until this week-end to take it to the range!

Snow at Argenteuil
about 1874
Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926)
Country of Origin, for Customs, France
54.6 x 73.7 cm (21 1/2 x 29 in.)
Accession Number
Medium or Technique
Oil on canvas
On View
Sidney and Esther Rabb Gallery (Gallery 255)
Painted not far from his house in Argenteuil, and likely begun outdoors, this work demonstrates Monet's interest in the changing effects of light and weather. Primed with a light-gray ground, the canvas can be seen through some of the thinly applied brushstrokes, while quick dabs of pigment and larger sweeps of color define the objects and the people. The path situates the viewer in the scene. The fence and meadow act as a framing device, so that like the pedestrians (and like the artist himself, as he painted) we can feel the cold, damp air and falling snow. Monet's decision to depict a snowfall in progress, and not simply a winter scene of fallen snow, reflects the influence of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints.
Lower left: Claude Monet
April 29, 1890, sold by the artist to Durand-Ruel, Paris (stock no. 305) [see note 1]; July 4, 1890, sold by Durand-Ruel to Annette (Anna) Perkins Rogers (b. 1840 - d. 1920), Boston [see note 2]; 1921, bequest of Anna Perkins Rogers to the MFA. (Accession Date: July 7, 1921) NOTES: [1] According to a letter from Durand-Ruel, Paris, to the MFA (1962). [2] The letter from Durand-Ruel (see above, n. 1) gives the date of the painting's sale to "Mr. P. Rogers" as June 14, but a dated receipt in the MFA object file confirms that it was sold to Miss [Anna] P. Rogers on July 4, 1890.

Forget about beating a YEC player, the first step is just to get to her in the draw. This is already her 4th hardcourt tournament in 2013. She used to win these kind of events, almost always in the semis

Ferrari's Michael Schumacher took to the top step of the podium at the A1-Ring after he recorded another victory in an action-packed Austrian Grand Prix, moving him to within two points of Drivers' Championship leader Kimi Raikkonen - who finished in second place for McLaren.
Rubens Barrichello came third in the other F2003-GA, putting Ferrari on top of the Constructors' Championship. Schumacher's victory came after a remarkable drive, and a small pit-lane fire that cost him time during his first pit stop.
"I don't think there is much to say, everything has been shown on TV," he told the post-race press conference when asked about the fire, "I think that we did a great job under the circumstances... the car worked well and we were able to secure the margin we needed for our strategy."
Schumacher's long first stop meant that he rejoined the race behind Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya's Williams. Then, on the very same lap he overtook the young Finn, Montoya's Williams suffered mechanical failure and Schumacher inherited the lead. "That was a tricky moment... I didn't know what Montoya was going to do. In the end he stayed off line and did a proper job."
Raikkonen put in a determined drive for second place, holding off Barrichello's charging Ferrari for the closing laps of the race. He told the press conference that he benefited from a brief period of wet running towards the start of the race. "When it started to rain I sensed that the Michelin tyres started to work slightly better than the Bridgestones."
Barrichello also suffered from problems with the refuelling rig during his first pit stop. "It was a bit frustrating," he said, "but things like that happen. I'm still on the podium."
"I was almost ahead of Kimi," Barrichello added, asked about their determined battle at the end, "but there was no way through so I had to give up."

After 10,500 diapers and 600 cans of formula, the Ferraro quintuplets celebrated their first birthday this week at their home in Fullerton, Calif.
ABCNews.com reported on their birth last year, and mom Meryl Ferraro, 40, who carried the babies to 32 weeks, said all five of them are doing well. They have no major health problems, despite the ailments that often come with multiple births.
Read about Meryl Ferraro's high-risk pregnancy.
"They are all healthy and getting bigger," Ferraro said, adding that they have already started to develop their own unique personalities.
See photos of the quintuplets then and now.
Gabrielle, or Gabby, is the patient one. She was the last one to crawl, but the first girl to walk.
Riley is "the gentle giant," says Ferraro. Even though he was a preemie who weighed just 4 pounds and 15 ounces at two weeks old, doctors said he was in the 90th percentile for his age and height at his 9-month checkup. Plus, he has an infectious belly laugh.
Addison, or Addy, is "the peanut." She may be the smallest, but she's always the first one to eat, and she takes it very, very seriously.
Cooper is "the bulldozer." He's not the biggest, but nothing will get in his way when he wants food – not even his siblings. He's even been known to take Cheerios out of his brothers' and sisters' mouths.
Emerson is the giggler. She has the biggest smile and is always giggling.
But we can't forget Gianna, the quints' big sister. She's 3-and-a-half, so she likes to help the grown-ups. "Not for babies," is one of her favorite things to say.
Though the babies will get cupcakes on their actually birthday, Sept. 26, their parents are planning a celebration for the volunteers who have helped them over the last year and a celebration for their extended families.
"I did sing ["Happy Birthday"] to them this morning when they woke up, and they just thought it was me being silly," she said. "I don't think they get it."
