Who Knew? A Cincinnati man invented a fish sandwich to save his floundering McDonald's franchise
CINCINNATI - The Tri-State is home to many fascinating facts, offbeat oddities, and "I did not know that," moments. With that in mind, we introduce this new weekly feature. Read on to find out how you can submit an idea for "Who Knew?"
- What is it? McDonald's Filet-O-Fish was invented in Cincinnati
- Where can I find it? Any McDonald's location in the United States
- Who knew? Lauren Church, McDonald's Restaurants of Greater Cincinnati
This year marks the 52nd anniversary of McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich, a popular item that wasn't originally on the menu.
Created right here in Cincinnati, the idea was not only was the first-ever addition to the restaurant's original menu, it also saved the Tri-State's first McDonald's franchise when it was floundering.
Q&A with Lauren Church
1. Who invented the Filet-O-Fish?
Ray Groen, who opened his first McDonald's restaurant in 1959 in Monfort Heights.
2. What ingredients did he use?
Groen developed a special batter for his fish and made his own tartar sauce. The original recipe used halibut and was later switched to cod.
3. How did he convince McDonald's headquarters to put his sandwich on the menu?
Groen took his sandwich to headquarters to participate in a sales competition against company founder, Ray Kroc, who had just invented the Hula Burger: a slice of pineapple on a bun.
Both were offered at a restaurant for one day, and whichever sold the most would be permanently added to the menu. Groen's recipe won by a boatload, by selling 350 Filet-O-Fish.
4. Out of all the different types of sandwiches, why fish?
In his third year of business, Groen noticed his franchise was struggling during Lent. Based in a predominantly Catholic community, his clientele abstained from eating meat during this 40-day period. Consequently, his customers headed over to competing restaurants that offered fish alternatives.
With over 300 million sandwiches consumed each year, Groen's invention of the Filet-O-Fish ultimately saved his restaurant. His son and grandson continue to operate McDonald's franchises in Northern Kentucky to this day.
- RELATED Who Knew? The first Cincy burger to come with tartar sauce was not cooked up where you might think

Robbie Keane scored again as the LA Galaxy qualified for the MLS Cup final despite losing 2-1 to the Seattle Sounders in the second leg of the Western Conference final on Sunday.
Keane is likely to see a return to the Premier League on loan when the MLS season draws to a close this weekend.
Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni confirmed, "I spoke with him about this situation after the game in the Faroe Islands when I told him I would look at other players for the friendly games.
"I said, 'You have the opportunity, it's up to you what you want to do.' It would be good if he didn't go three months without football but he did say his club were likely to go on tour in Asia."

This is quite different than 'traditional' spoofing because above also requires propagation of false routing information instead of simply sending bogus packets.

Drug Charges Dropped Against Bon Jovi's Daughter
Bon Jovi's daughter is off the hook. Charges against 19 year-old Stephanie Bongiovi have been dropped under the Good Samaritan Law. Its a law in New York State that says anyone seeking treatment, or anyone helping someone seek treatment, are protect against legal action. The law was enacted to encourage people who may fear being sued or arrested, to step up and help when someone's life is in danger. This sounds more like a technicality being used by lawyers of a famous rock star to me. I just hope she can get the help she seems to need instead of having daddy's money sweep it under the rug to be forgotten.

Next step for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing
Maybe we should check to see if money is growing on trees in Chip Ganassi's yard, or whether his handshake leaves gold dust on your palms.
No team owner ever had won the Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400 and the Indy 500 in the same season before Ganassi's teams did it last year. Ganassi also won a third consecutive IndyCar championship and the Grand-Am title.
All in all, Ganassi isn't complaining about 2010. It doesn't get much better for a guy who makes racing his business.
"We had a lot of great memories," Ganassi said last month on the media tour in Charlotte. "We're really happy with the tone that was set last year, but we're constantly looking for that little bit we're missing."
Ganassi isn't missing much on his long list of racing accomplishments, but he still has one big prize out there to shoot for in NASCAR -- a Sprint Cup championship.
As the head guy at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, he's determined to get there.
"Over the last few years this is a group who's had to keep their heads down and stay on the plan," Ganassi said. "We still have a ways to go, but I think the direction we're headed is correct. Our cars are in contention more and more, week in and week out."
EGR contended when it counted in the big events last year, thanks to the return of Jamie McMurray. In his first year back with Ganassi after four seasons at Roush Fenway Racing, McMurray won the Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400 and the Chase race at Charlotte in October.
And his wife, Christy, delivered their first child (son Carter) on Thanksgiving Day. McMurray also signed a new contract with EGR.
McMurray may be the only guy who had a better year than Ganassi.
"A lot has changed in my life over the last year, starting with winning the Daytona 500," McMurray said. "It's really hard to put into words what happens there, but it's amazing. You just have a different mindset the rest of the season. Then to back it up with wins at the Brickyard and Charlotte was quite remarkable.
"But I thought the coolest thing for me last year, other than the birth of my son, was walking in the media center [after winning] at Charlotte and everybody just looked at me like, 'Oh, it's Jamie.' That was the best feeling ever that you guys weren't shocked that I was there."
No one will be shocked if McMurray continues to win this season, but as good as it was last year, he still didn't make the Chase. Neither did teammate Juan Pablo Montoya.
"But I think we understand what it takes to get the job done," Montoya said at Charlotte last month. "There were a lot of weekends [in 2010] where we qualified up front, but couldn't match that pace in the race. I think we can improve on that."
So does Ganassi, who said he believes reaching the championship level is a step-by-step process of small gains over time.
"There are lots of places where we can improve," Ganassi said. "It's not something you look at after the end of a season. You look at it all the time. It's a constant process of seeing where you're weak and where you can get stronger. It's constantly looking in the mirror. If you don't, you are in for some surprises."
Felix Sabates, Ganassi's longtime partner in NASCAR, says Chip is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of guy.
"The man is totally unselfish," Sabates said of Ganassi. "He never talks about himself. All he wants to do is win. But one thing; when you're on the phone with him and he says, 'What else?' that means get off the friggin' phone."
Ganassi is a no-nonsense guy. His game-day apparel is a long-sleeve white shirt and black slacks.
Steve Lauletta, president of EGR, says Ganassi is all business, but not autocratic in how he runs things.
"Chip doesn't do anything else," Lauletta said. "This is his thing and he's amazingly good at it. We all know that. But the way he encourages us keeps everybody focused. He's available to all of us all the time."
That could explain why Ganassi has managed to keep Target as a primary sponsor of his race teams for 22 years. Energizer batteries has been with Ganassi for 16 years.
Stability is the key to Ganassi's success, along with making the right decision at the right time.
But Ganassi also is willing to take a chance if he sees a long-term reward. It worked last year in re-signing McMurray, who didn't have much success at Roush.
It also worked well in signing Montoya, an open-wheel star in Indy cars and Formula One who has proven he can compete and win in stock cars.
And it worked in merging with Dale Earnhardt Inc. two years ago, moving from Dodge to Chevrolet and becoming part of the Earnhardt-Childress Racing engine program.
"Being involved with Chevrolet has helped us so much," Sabates said. "And being involved with the Childress engine program has been a huge benefit to us."
ECR engines won all four restrictor-plate races last season and eight Cup races overall, including Montoya's victory at Watkins Glen.
But Montoya and McMurray lacked the consistency to make the Chase and contend for the championship.
The 2010 season had more high moments than anyone at EGR reasonably could have expected. The organization won two of NASCAR's crown jewels at Daytona and Indianapolis. But now it's time to take the next step and contend for the title.
"We had a lot of fun last year," said Kevin "Bono" Manion, McMurray's crew chief. "But this is a real serious racing organization, so what we accomplished wasn't enough."

Lead sulfide (PbS)/polystyrene (PS) nanocomposite (NCP) thin films have been synthesized from solution by in situ thermolysis. PbS nanocrystals (NCs) are of 3–5 nm size as determined from Transmission Electron Microscope. The films are p-type with dark conductivity of ∼10−6 S cm−1 and high photoconductivity with linear current–voltage (I–V) characteristics. The electrical properties are explained on the basis of strong interaction between PbS and PS as revealed by infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Does this jacket run true to size, small, or large?
Kayla Weiser
I would recommend getting your regular size for the sake of fit through your shoulders and chest, but the jacket overall does run a bit tall.
Trendy Fall Jacket!
Want the new look this fall? Military inspired meets moto jacket - contrast sleeves & waxed look canvas fabric make this the perfect jacket for this fall. This jacket has a tailored slim look with an adjustable waist chord on inside of jacket for extra definition. A nice long cut with a bowed hemline give you that feminite look with this edgy jacket.
does this jacket run big or small? I normally wear a medium but I want it to be a little baggier, for swag purposes, obviously. So I'm debating on getting a large rather than a medium, thoughts?

I have been working at Copac full-time (less than a year)Pros
The management is pretty easy to get along with and, even though it is manufacturing, the plant stays relatively chilly. A lot of the machines are new and up-to-date and the facility is fairly clean.Cons
Not enough pay. Temp workers start out low and, if they aren't fired before their 90 days (most are) they get hired on, but pay only increases slightly. Quality of the work is held to high standard, which is good but can sometimes be unreasonable. Not enough time for lunch break (30-35 minutes for 10 hour shift). Temps don't have access to get inside the building until hired on (at least 90 days) and have to wait on someone to let them in. Communication throughout the entire company seems to be lacking.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Increase pay for level of stress that comes with keeping quality. Allow temps access to the doors, increase communication throughout.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

request recommendation of a good ethernet switch.
I had 10 CAT6 ethernet drops installed in our 1800 sq ft house by a contractor yesterday. Really appreciate all the help I got from this forum. The contractor also put a patch panel free of charge, but he only had a 8-port patch panel. So this morning, I ordered a 12-port CAT6 patch panel and c2g patch cables. I need to order a network switch to extend my current Linksys wireless-G broadband router. The contractor will come back this week to finish the final connection of patch panel, cable modem, and network switch.
Would an 8-port network switch be enough in my case or would it be better to buy a 16-port switch?
I saw the following cisco model had good reviews, but it has 8 port. I don't know if it's still good enough for me.
The following is another cisco model with 10 ports, I don't know if it needs configuration. I'd like to buy one plug-and-play.
The following netgear model has 16 ports. But it did not say if it supports gigabit. I don't know if it's good.
Any recommendation of a good ethernet switch is greatly appreciated.
Or the following one:
Is it comparable to the cisco one functionally? But it's cheaper and has 16 ports.
Thank you very much.
I use these all the time, very reliable, manageable and gigabit:
Cisco/Linksys are more or less "THE" switches, Cisco's one of the first companies to build networking equipment.
That being said, Netgear stuff is fine too. Switches are fairly dumb devices, as long as it's gigabit (which you'll only benefit from transferring files across your network unless you have an amazing internet connection, >100 megabits.)
Just reading a little more closely, the Cisco one is managed, which means you can configure it to manage data more intelligently and give certain traffic (eg video streaming) priority which may be nice.
As others alluded, the modem/router your ISP gave you may already do this for the ports on it, so you may not need this feature in your switch. Another thing to ask your cable tech is whether the gateway (your cable modem/router) will act as a DHCP server for devices on your switch (give them all IP addresses.) I recently discovered the gateway my ISP gave me will only distribute IP addresses to the ports on it. If I want more devices, I need a second router which probably means I should ignore the ports on the modem/router, and keep my whole network on my own router.
If you don't mind figuring out how to operate the cisco, go for it, if you want simpler, go for the Netgear. They probably make a managed one as well.
IMO, Cisco gear is overpriced and Linksys is cheap quality. Though Linksys is owned by Cisco, their offerings are inferior to that of the parent company. I have had many of their wired/wireless routers and each one of them have had issues of some sort.
Netgear isn't too bad, though, I still prefer the Dell switches. Easy to use, easy to manage and they are rock solid. The same can't be said for Dell's computer offerings, but, that's a discussion for another day.
I would get a 16-port gigabit switch and plug all the cables in to it. I would not use the patch panel (unless it was for coax). I would replace the WirelessG for a WirelessN dual band unit, or wait until the new WirelessAC standard settles out.
You can certainly get wireless extenders (or access points) for the Linksys if you want.
Unless you're planning on running a datacenter, there's no need for the Cisco. The Netgear is fine.

The legendary Steelers head coach passed away Friday at 82. Noll, who turned around a Pittsburgh franchise that had been pathetic for virtually its entire history until his hiring in 1969, is the only head coach to win four Super Bowls. He had a career record of 193-148-1 in the regular season. RIP, and condolences to his family and friends.

Not a loss to be mourned, rather a life well lived and passing to be celebrated.
I was going to post something like the first couple paragraphs of this:
The rest is worth reading as well.
Thanks, Coach.
I've never understood why Noll wasn't more readily recognized as a great coach. Yes, Lombardi cast a long shadow, but Shula and Landry had great success roughly simultaneously, and were more lauded than Noll. There seems to have been a perception that Noll was simply blessed with great talent, but I would argue the opposite. The Steel Curtain era was talented, without question, but I think the Steelers teams were actually greater than the sum of its parts, largely because of great coaching. To put it more controversially, many of the players were over-rated (some slightly, some grossly) due to the halo effect of the team success. The argument that Noll benefited from a host of HOF players also ignores the fact that Noll was one of the earliest coach/de facto GM guys (Paul Brown, an immediate antecedent).
Noll is in the pantheon. We tip our cap.
I always felt like nobody needed to say how awesome Chuck Noll was. Everyone just knew. Taking a perennial cellar dwellar to 4 Super Bowls in 6 years. Will anyone ever replicate that?
Short-yardage passing had a good year, except at the end of the Super Bowl. We look at the return of quarterback runs, the rise in pass-happy strategy, and 2014 success rates for offense and defense.

People should give their children a name that they like... However, if you know that the name you like is associated with another gender, SES, etc. you should anticipate potential future problems. Simply saying "It's the problem of xxxx" does nothing... you chose the name knowing full well that it could cause the child issues. So essentially you set your child up to have to be rescued... And while you can teach your child to be confident and what be it, blind resumes, job interviews, career fairs, etc. can be a bit unpleasant when you have an "inappropriate" name...
My idea: Import a foreign name or use a name that is meaningful to you or your family in order to be "unique". If you do name your son Ashley, know and weigh ALL the ramifications. Realize you're doing something not 100% socially acceptable (in the US), and that there could be issues in the future. Be willing to put out the time and effort necessary for dealing with these problems. Also, if your son is angry about it in the future, "the buck stops here"... don't blame society, administrators, teachers, etc... After all, they just reacted to the name in the same way you could've predicted.INTJ Anthropologist Living in the centre of China, married to a Persian, and just enjoying a completely unpredictable life

planting a swing
I found a porch swing frame at a garage sale last weekend, and have decided to plant it, any ideas on how to go about it? I have chicken wire attached to the swing part and the canopy. just need an idea on how to keep the soil in with out falling out onto the ground.
Image link:
Wow! It's a beauty! With your chick wire between the seat & canopy, it sounds more like a trellis...so maybe you could plant a Fall Clematis (like 'Sweet Autumn')at the backside of the swing seat which vines in the Spring/summer here & blooms little white flowers in the early Fall).
Meanwhile, you could sit your fav big pots or make window type boxes in the 'seat' & choose your fav flowers to plant. You could add some GJunk in various ground places around the base of the swing.
Another great cover for 'vining' is Mandarin Orange Honeysuckle...this pic from last summer shows one that's been planted for years at my pond...love it on the arbor:
Ohhh, lots of possiblities! Have fun with it! Great score! Jeanne S.
could you place heavy plastic over the chicken wire, staple it as you fold it over the edge to form a planting trough? You would have to use chicken wire on the sides and up higher in the front to form a trough shape and you would need to reinforce the bottom in a few places with heavy wire or jute tied to the frame of the seat under the chicken wire, or by putting a few narrow boards on the seat portion, just to take some of the weight. Poke a few drainage holes in the plastic add soil and plants, something trailing down like petunias and possibly a vine growing up the back would be beautiful.
I'm anxious to see what you come up with.
That will look great planted! You can use landscape fabric to line the swing seat. It's very strong and drains well. I use it to line hanging baskets. If you want to hide the cloth from below use a layer of large shredded bark mulch on the chicken wire first. I use moss in my hanging baskets but unless you have access to free moss that would be expensive.
The landscape fabric or weed cloth is sold at almost every garden center, hardware, or big box store. It comes in black and light or dark gray.
You can buy that coconut fiber stuff by the yard at some garden centers, the same kind of stuff they use for hanging baskets. I would lay that over the seat and then put soil on top. You would need to figure out some way to contain it on the edges: stones, boards, I don't know. Maybe staple the corners together and reinforce it there. Don't quite understand the chicken wire on the canopy part of your description.
But a great find on the swing and lots of possibilities!! (That last word looks funny).
Coconut fiber disappears quickly if you have squirrels around or even some birds. Weed cloth would work but you couldn't get too much soil on top of it because of weight. Maybe the canopy put weed cloth & succulents as they can get by on less soil I think. If you get lots of cold weather that wouldn't work so well. Might try a fast growing morning glory on top! I have purple, lt & dk pink & had some white. Blue grow fast & maybe wave petunias on bottom, would have to give them fertilizer in water quite often I would think. Good Luck, looks like it will be cute when covered with flowers. Chicken-wire might need stronger wire underneath it every 6-8 inches going both ways to hold all the weight. Jan
I went to my local greenhouse ( who I have done some work for) and told him of my idea, he hooked me up with some weed fabric, so this is what I am at now, I bought some impatiens for color, hope to plant 2 small hostas on the seat and some impatiens, the top awning I have some low growing sedum I am hoping will work for that area,,hmm I guess I can't post the newest photo.. well anyway, what I have done so far, is added the weed fabric under the chicken wire, will add some heavy, something under it, I think I will take some of the fabric, or perhaps some burlap, and sew bags to hang on the seat back, and plant those also, and hope for the best,, :)
I like your idea of making some planter bags to add to the swing. That's a very popular idea right now and I've been thinking of doing that too. Impatiens are good for the seat because they will spread quite nicely and sedum for the top so you don't have a lot of maintenance.
I couldn't be sure from your description how you are using the fabric on the chicken wire. The fabric should ideally go on top of the chicken wire to hold the soil for the plants. If you want to post a progress pic so we can help that would be great.
A large garbage bag, heavy duty,filled with potting soil, make it look like the swing cushion then poke holes and plant.
A vine on top hanging down would be nice. I have metal framed cast off Christmas lawn decorations. I took of their lights and have vines growing on the frames. No fuss or muss with chicken wire or sphagnum. I have two angels and a moose so far. The right vine will grow on anything!
pillow cases instead of garbage bags. You could have used an old blanket from Goodwill to line the chicken wire too, then you would really be recycling.
How about picking up some pretty pillow shams at the thrift store- (for some reason lots of pillow shams find their way there)- and putting them on bags of garden soil instead of pillows. Place them on the seat and cut some holes in the top and plant your flowers!
You guys have given me some great ideas! thanks! I planted it on Saturday, put some inpatiens in the seat along with 2 small hosta's will have to start a new thread as I can't seem to post my photo here.. I placed the fabric under the chicken wire and put a piece of conduit UNDER it to help hold the weight. hope it all works,, great idea on the pillow cases and shams,, if this doesnt work,, will give those a go..

There's a freakin' teddybear riding the back of a Catfish (GIANT cat with a shark's dorsal fin) in the river that you have to defeat. There is fun for everyone.
DO IT. Give in. I did, and I don't regret it.

Hmm well yes, going into a coma does tend to make people more perspective, espeically if all they can do is listen and think. I loved how open you made BeastBoy of his relationship with Raven with the other three titans, it's kind of cute in a way.
| Butterfree chapter 5 . 3/2/2008
Aww, that was definetly sweet
I think that this story would be better if it were written as a one-shoot though, the faster flow rate of the story makes it more believable to be one. The scene when Raven just suddenly loses control was kind of out of character for her since she's learned to control her emotions, espeically anger for years and years.
| Butterfree chapter 4 . 3/2/2008
lol, I love these thought arguments that Beastboy seems to be having, for some reaosn, I foudn that extrememly funny XD
You might want to keep Raven and BeastBoy a little more incharacter though, Raven should be a little more hesitant to keep crying like that and Beastboy should maybe have more of a funny remark here and there (knowing how much he likes telling jokes).
| Butterfree chapter 3 . 3/2/2008
This is definetly a very interesting story so far!
I love all the events that have happened, and you also did well at writting in Starfire's way of talking. I did also like the idea of making Starfire a lot less oblivious then she seems.
You might want to add some extra text here and there to add more of an effect. Like the two scenes when Robin and Cyborg started talking to BeastBoy like that, I think it would've made more sense to make then a little more hesitant in what they wanted to say. And the part when Beastboy was listening to Starfire and got cut off, you could've either added some text in BeastBoy's POV in between, or at the end so the readers truly understand what just happened there.
| Butterfree chapter 2 . 3/2/2008
Very good chapter!
Great idea on making Beastboy recap on everything he found important that happened in the past, though, it felt more like you were just summarazing rather then actually typing out a story. Try to maybe switch from Beastboy's thoughts to what's happening with Raven from time to time, and try to add a little more of Beastboy's personality when it's in his POV.
| Butterfree chapter 1 . 3/2/2008
OOh, you did a pretty good job even on your earlier stories. I love the unique plotline that you've decided to set up here; it's also a good plot line if you don't want to start out with a story that would be extremely complex and hard to update.
((Oh, I don't mean that this is easy to write, just that you have more of a basic outline of the story before you even have to plan it much))

Article: Wogonin Induced Calreticulin/Annexin A1 Exposure Dictates the Immunogenicity of Cancer Cells in a PERK/AKT Dependent Manner[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In response to ionizing irradiation and certain chemotherapeutic agents, dying tumor cells elicit a potent anticancer immune response. However, the potential effect of wogonin (5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone) on cancer immunogenicity has not been studied. Here we demonstrated for the first time that wogonin elicits a potent antitumor immunity effect by inducing the translocation of calreticulin (CRT) and Annexin A1 to cell plasma membrane as well as the release of high-mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) and ATP. Signal pathways involved in this process were studied. We found that wogonin-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production causes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, including the phosphorylation of PERK (PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase)/PKR (protein kinase R) and eIF2α (eukaryotic initiation factor 2α), which served as upstream signal for the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, inducing calreticulin (CRT)/Annexin A1 cell membrane translocation. P22/CHP, a Ca(2+)-binding protein, was associated with CRT and was required for CRT translocation to cell membrane. The releases of HMGB1 and ATP from wogonin treated MFC cells, alone or together with other possible factors, activated dendritic cells and induced cytokine releases. In vivo study confirmed that immunization with wogonin-pretreated tumor cells vaccination significantly inhibited homoplastic grafted gastric tumor growth in mice and a possible inflammatory response was involved. In conclusion, the activation of PI3K pathway elicited by ER stress induced CRT/Annexin A1 translocation ("eat me" signal) and HMGB1 release, mediating wogonin-induced immunity of tumor cell vaccine. This indicated that wogonin is a novel effective candidate of immunotherapy against gastric tumor.PLoS ONE 12/2012; 7(12):e50811.

Article: Vaccination of non-obese diabetic mice with a fragment of peptide P277 attenuates insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: P277 is a peptide derived from the HSP60 regions, have potent immunological effect on insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and its phase III clinical trials are currently under investigation. However, we recently discovered a positive correlation between anti-P277 autoantibodies and the presence of endothelial cells damage in inducing vascular leak syndrome. Therefore, the aim of our study was to demonstrate the critical peptide epitope of P277 to IDDM and to highlight the effects of this peptide therapy on inflammation of the islets. Groups of 4-week old female non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice were immunized one time every three weeks for three times with a residue of P277, showing a significant effect of down-regulating immunity to P277 protein and preventing the development of IDDM. Immunologic results including the suppression of T-cell proliferation, the increase of interleukin-10 (IL-10) production and reduction of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production caused immune tolerance to P277. Hence, a functional role of the key epitope in P277 peptide capable of preventing IDDM is suggested, which could be modified to develop a novel safe and effective peptide vaccine against IDDM by reconstructing P277 in the further studies.International immunopharmacology 04/2011; 11(9):1298-302.

ABSTRACT: To identify and compare the features of stem like cells in human glioblastoma cell lines U251, U87MG, A172 with primary cultured glioblastoma stem cells, the ratio of CD133+ cells, the ability of tumor sphere formation, and self-renewing capacity of U251, U87MG, A172 cells in serum free medium plus EGF, bFGF and B27 supplement were detected. The results suggested that there might be more cancer stem like cells in U251 cells compared with others. CD133+ cells enriched in SP cells and in U251 cells cultured with the serum free medium. They expressed the neural stem cell markers CD133 and Nestin, but lacked of neuronal and astrocyte marker MAP2, beta-III tubulin and GFAP. They could apparently generate both neurons and glial cells after serum retrieved in vitro. Gli1, Bmi1, Notch2 and PTEN were also found expressed highly in them. Moreover, CD133+ cells were more resistant to hypoxia, irradiations and some chemotherapeutics than CD133-cells. So we suggested that glioblastoma stem like cells were existed in CD133+ cells in U251 cell line with characteristics of self-renew and generation of an unlimited progeny of non-tumorigenic cells. Molecular and functional characterization of such a tumorigenic population may be exploited in the development of novel cancer therapeutic drugs.Cancer letters 03/2009; 279(1):13-21.

Article: Inhibition of glioblastoma growth and angiogenesis by gambogic acid: an in vitro and in vivo study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gambogic acid (GA) is the major active ingredient of gamboge, a brownish to orange resin exuded from Garcinia hanburryi tree in Southeast Asia. The present study aims to demonstrate that gambogic acid (GA) has potent anticancer activity for glioblastoma by in vitro and in vivo study. Rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMEC) were used as an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To reveal an involvement of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, the mitochondrial membrane potential and the western blot evaluation of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, caspase-9 and cytochrome c released from mitochondria were performed. Angiogenesis was detected by CD31 immunochemical study. The results showed that the uptake of GA by rBMEC was time-dependent, which indicated that it could pass BBB and represent a possible new target in glioma therapy. GA could cause apoptosis of rat C6 glioma cells in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner by triggering the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. In vivo study also revealed that i.v. injection of GA once a day for two weeks could significantly reduce tumor volumes by antiangiogenesis and apoptotic induction of glioma cells. Collectively, the current data indicated that GA may be of potential use in treatment of glioblastoma by apoptotic induction and antiangiogenic effects.Biochemical pharmacology 04/2008; 75(5):1083-92.

Dancing in the Dark
Reviewed by
Julia Ann Charpentier
Those with a fine appreciation for intricate characters and exceptional attention to detail will enjoy this introspective novel.
Comprehending and learning to overcome the type of psychological pain that penetrates the soul sets the tone in Bob Strauss's contemporary romance, Dancing in the Dark. This journey of the spirit, involving both the loss of love and the gift of love, takes one on an exploration of human motivation and biological need.
Two couples embark on the confusing and often obstructed path to a fulfilling relationship in this dual story line, featuring four separate yet deeply connected individuals. At the helm is Harry Salinger, a successful psychotherapist grieving the death of his wife while opening his vulnerable core to a colleague. He realizes that he must move on with his life: "Memories don't keep you warm at night. Living in the past doesn't make you happy."
No longer just friends with this colleague, the doctor is disconcerted by their growing affection and delves into his own psyche, as well as into the minds of his clients, looking for answers. Interwoven into this fascinating plot is another romantic adventure centering on Jacques and Jennifer—both consulting with Salinger without the other's knowledge. It is a vibrant entanglement.
In this scene, Harry contemplates Jacques's ambivalence toward Jennifer. "Of greater weight was his sense that he was more into her than she was into him. He pondered the imbalance in their mutual affections and was disquieted. He persuaded himself that in time that would change for the better. He need only be patient and continue to love her. Thus, despite this daunting litany of complaints, the poor love-besotted man remained intractably benign."
Those with a fine appreciation for intricate characters as opposed to plot-driven stories will enjoy the exceptional attention to detail in this introspective novel. Unlike action fiction, Dancing in the Dark glides to its conclusion like a well-orchestrated ballroom dance. Focusing on the dynamics of sharing and intimacy in all their beauty and ugliness—an educational experience that may inform those seeking information about the psychotherapeutic profession—this is a behind-the-scenes look at an accomplished doctor immersed in a complicated situation.
A trite depiction of a couple dancing in a stiff, formal posture on the book's cover conveys the underlying theme—one of distancing within a contrived interlude typical of dating among all age groups. Scrupulous editing can be seen behind this casual and humorously candid story, for every word makes the desired impact.
Strauss is a practicing psychotherapist, based in Manhattan, who specializes in relationship problems. Dancing in the Dark is his debut novel, a work enriched by his knowledge and experience. Fans of daytime drama and connoisseurs of confessional fiction will love his sophisticated take on a popular stylistic technique—revelation of the heart.

What? R u asking about polychokes? I have had a few added over the years. They are key to my "Tactical" 20" Mossberg 590 (NOT A1) and 18-1/4" 500. They are wonderful and very useful.
I have an old Winchester 1200 barrel for my knock around Ranger 120 pump. It has a Polychoke. For bird huinting, it is pretty decent. I have no trouble knocking down fast flying dove. Kind of thinking about turning it into a super high cap (10+1) zombie gun.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
Pretty all'round useful...
If the gun has ribs n use a Polly choke do u have to cut the ribs
My shotguns are all older models, so I can't help with interchangeable adjustable chokes. However I can vouch for the usefulness of adjustable chokes.
I have 2 old bolt action shotguns with factory adjustables. One is a Mossberg with a factory C-Lect choke. The other is a Kessler with a factory Komp-Choke ( compensater\choke combo). You can,with a simple twist, switch from tight patterns for turkey over to wide open for slugs or a round of skeet. I would start by checking your LGS or a gunsmith to see what they can recomend. They may have an older Poly-Choke that they can install for you, or a barel that has one on it that will fit your shotgun. Hope this helps.
Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, or to do the wrong thing for the right reason? If you do the wrong thing for the right reason, is it still the wrong thing?
Si vis pacem para bellum.
There are two ways of doing something. Right and again.
If you can't be good, be great at it.
I have a bunch of shotguns, but I never owned one with an adjustable choke, sorry no help here..................
When all else fails.
