Sulindac sulfone induces a decrease of beta-catenin in HNSCC
Sauter, Alexander, Soulsby, Hannah, Hormann, Karl and Naim, Ramin. (2010) Sulindac sulfone induces a decrease of beta-catenin in HNSCC. Anticancer Research, Vol.30 (No.2). pp. 339-343. ISSN 0250-7005

Background: The most common neoplasm arising in the upper gastrointestinal tract is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This is an aggressive epithelial malignancy. Many growth factors and cytokines have been discovered that are responsible for the growth and formation of tumours. Among these factors, beta-catenin is considered to be the most important for reducing cell-cell adhesions in malignant tissue. The degradation of beta-catenin triggers apoptosis by different routes. Sulindac sulfone has been shown to induce apoptosis in several different tumours. In the present study, we surveyed the concentration of beta-catenin in an HNSCC line after incubation with different concentrations of sulindac sulfone. Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemical and Western blot analyses were perfornied after treatment of the UMSCC 11A cell line with different concentrations of sulindac sulfone (100, 200, 400, 600 and 800 mu Mol) for 48 hours. Results: At 100 mu Mol of sulindac sulfone, a decrease in beta-catenin concentration of 5% was observed; increasing concentrations of sulindac sulfone resulted in >70% reduction in secreted beta-catenin. Thus in conclusion, incubation with sulindac sulfone seemed to stop proliferation. With respect to the controls, there was no greater reduction in total protein. Conclusion: In this study, sulindac sulfone reduced levels of secreted beta-catenin in the HNSCC cell line UM-SCC 11A after 48 hours of incubation. It is presumed that reduction of cell-cell adhesion, which is predominately affected by beta-catenin, is an essential step in the progression front localized malignancy to stromal and vascular invasion and ultimately metastatic disease. The reduction in the level of mural expression of beta-catenin has been associated with loss of differentiation in laryngeal carcinomas. Thus, prevention of intracellular beta-catenin accumulation is regarded as an attractive target for chemopreventive agents.

Supported by more than 2,000 fans, Croatia mowed down Italy for the top spot after going into the championship with modest hopes of a minor placing. Italy, the defending champion and title favorite was overwhelmed by not only the Croatian fans, but were also outplayed by the Croats who slipped through the first set 25-13 in apparent ease. Italy started stronger in the second set but could not shake off their opponent. After the teams leveled at 8-all Croatia powered forward take the second set 25-14. the third was a mere formality and Croatia waltzed off the court as champions. Croatian coach Nino Matjacic was speechless after the match, before saying "Now we won, everything looked easy, but you cannot imagine how difficult it was to win an important tournament like this. We will only realize after we look back on it.' Setter Diana Rescic and Senna Ucic both excelled for Croatia and it was no surprise that Ucic was named Most Valuable Player. Italian Veronica Angeloni received the award as best attacker. With this histories victory the girls are marching in the footsteps of such stars like Barbara Jelic, Szjezana Mijic and Natasja Leto who helped Croatia to three successive European Championship silver medals during the '90s. Mijic was in the hall on Sunday to watch the new champions. In other action, Serbia and Montenegro upset Russia in the match for the bronze medal (3-1). It was the first ever youth medal for the country of the Men's Olympic Champion. While Russia looked tired after Saturday's semifinal, Serbia and Montenegro showed great spirit and even after conceding the first set, kept their head and went on to win the match 3-1. In other action, Germany finished fifth after an impressive straight sets victory over Poland and Hungary finished seventh after winning against 2001 bronze medalist Belarus (3-1). Because Europe has eight vacancies for the Girls Under-18 World Championship, all participating teams except the non-registered German team are already qualified for this event. Czech Republic as the best non-qualified team for the Girls Under-18 European Championship will replace Germany in the world event. Results Sunday 27 April: Final - Croatia def.

Celia Montoya charged with holding down ten year old while boyfriend sexually assaulted her
If the accusations pressed by the Denver District Attorney's Office are accurate, Celia Montoya is guilty not only of serious crimes, but a betrayal of trust that's positively off the charts.
Montoya allegedly held down a ten-year-old family member while her much older boyfriend, Eugene Fernandez, sexually assaulted her.
Learn more about the terrible allegations from the arrest affidavit, seen below in its entirety.
Because of the victim's age and the description of family relationships, the document is heavily redacted. But enough of the narrative remains to understand the extraordinarily rude awakening the girl says she received.
On the night in question, between April and May of 2012, the girl said she was staying in another relative's home and had planned to sleep in the living room. However, she was frightened and climbed into an already occupied bed -- presumably by Montoya and Fernandez.
Eugene Fernandez's mug shot. |
The girl fell asleep in the middle of the bed -- but she was jolted to consciousness by the feeling of someone touching her "private part;" she also discovered that her underwear had been lowered. She began crying and tried closing her legs, but she couldn't do so -- and neither could she escape, because Montoya "was hugging her and wouldn't let her leave." The assault only stopped when her alleged assaulter, Fernandez, go up to use the bathroom, leaving the girl to sob herself to sleep.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the girl didn't report the assault. Then, this year, she had the uncomfortable experience of having to celebrate her birthday with Montoya present. At that time, the girl said Montoya apologized to her for what happened, saying, "I know you didn't like it and that you were uncomfortable around him after that."
This I'm-sorry certainly didn't make everything better for the girl, who told her story to investigators earlier this month. Now, Fernandez has been charged with aggravated sexual assault on a child, while Montoya is accused of sexual assault on a child and child abuse. They currently remain in custody on large bonds -- $100,000 for Fernandez, $200,000 for Montoya -- and are expected in court for a preliminary hearing next month.
Look below to see Montoya's booking photo, followed by the arrest affidavit.

COLUMBIA — When Greg Woody first stepped on the stage Tuesday night, he faced an audience of two people. But once he presented Cash, a Eurasian Eagle Owl, the damp bleacher seats immediately began to fill and children with digital cameras began to flock to the gate around the stage, eager to photograph some of the unusual animals in Woody's Menagerie.
Woody's Menagerie is a new attraction at the Boone County Fair and features nightly educational shows along with a separate reptile trailer.
Tuesday night's show got off to a shaky start, as the one of the Menagerie's trucks broke down Monday night in Lincoln, Ill. Because of the delay, the first show at 6 p.m. had to be canceled. However, despite technical difficulties, gloomy weather and tense animals, Woody still had the 8 p.m. show.
Woody, from Mulberry Grove, Ill., brought 14 animals with him for the show and more than 400 animals in the reptile trailer, including 19 species of gecko, 12 kinds of frogs and seven types of turtles.
"It's an educational show," Woody said. "It shows people some unusual animals they might not normally see."
One such animal was Sarah, a kinkajou. The kinkajou can run backward just as fast as forward because it can turn its ankles around, Woody said.
Woody and his assistant, Amanda Davis of Oregon, brought out one animal after another. Some, such as E.T. the snow monkey, and his little brother, Benny, brought coos and giggles from the crowd as Davis tossed him marshmallows.
"It's completely different from school," Davis said.
Davis, 21, spent 2-and-a-half years studying zoology in Portland, Ore., but is taking a break from school working for Woody.
"It's a lot of hard work," Davis said. "But it's all worth it when I bring Annie out."
Annie is a 6-month-old grizzly bear that ambled curiously around the stage when not being held by Davis.
"I've been raising her since she was about 6 weeks old," Davis said. "She was still on the bottle."
Davis will continue working with Woody until August and she plans to return to college and finish her zoology degree.
"I want to be like the next Steve Irwin and have my own animal show," Davis said, smiling.
Although most of Woody's animals were small and calm, others, such as Jackal, Woody's striped hyena, induced gasps and wide-eyed stares as he strained at his two leashes, eager to explore his new environment.
Jackal is Woody's personal pet, living with him in his house in Mulberry Grove.
"When he feels he isn't getting enough attention, he jumps right up into my lap," Woody said.
Jackal is only one of three striped hyenas doing shows in the U.S.
"And I feel he's the best behaved one," Woody said.
As sheep bleated loudly behind the metal bleachers, the hyena's fur stood on end as he paced the stage, glancing quickly in every direction.
"He's nervous," Woody said. "Some species look for protection more than others. I hear people talk about 'wild animals.' Some of these animals are generations further from the wild than their domestic dog."
Woody was pleased to present his finale, which he called the rarest cats in the world.
"The only different between your house cats and my cats is size," Woody said as he brought out Charlie and Tank, two young ligers, a cross between a lion and a tiger.
When they grow up, Charlie and Tank could weigh up to 900 pounds each, Woody said. He was also sure to point out that the brothers both had all their claws and teeth.
"If they ever decide to turn on me, I want to get it over quick," Woody said. "One thing's for certain — once you think you know an animal, they'll prove you wrong, whether it's cattle or ligers or whatever."
Woody was sure to mention that he had not shown all of the animals Tuesday night.
"(Wednesday), there'll be a species of animal that causes more bites than anything else in the world," he said.
Woody's Menagerie Wildlife Shows continue at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. through Thursday, then at 5, 7 and 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The educational shows are free.
Woody's Reptiles and More is open all week for $3 per person of $5 for two people.

Shooting the Windows Messenger Service | |
Subject: | Router | |
Date: | 2003-11-12 08:08:56 | |
From: | pgralla | |
Response to: Router
My linksys doesn't reject all unrequested traffic; if I want to block traffic on specific ports, I have to go in and tell the router to block it. I was surprised that the pop-up made it through, though, because the router uses NAT, and the pop-up appeared on just the one laptop, and no other PCs on my network. Perhaps when the pop-up was sent to the router's IP address, it would have been sent to every PC on the network -- but I had already turned off the Messenger Service on every PC except the new laptop (others had been getting the pop-ups until I turned off the service on them), and so it made it through only to the laptop. |

Designers Discuss App Usage for Their Businesses
"Dropbox and GoPayment are the two apps I use the most. Occasionally I use Skitch. I also have My Measures, Cut Calculator, MagicPlan, and Room Planner, but they take more time than doing things by hand. Their only advantage is that you end up with sendable files."
Charles Cameron, owner
Design Details
Somerville, MA
"We use Houzz for design inspiration, along with MagicPlan to help with measurements. We have also supplied iPads to all of our designers."
Kevin Telaak, president
Appliance Associates of Buffalo
Artisan Kitchens and Baths
Buffalo, NY
"In addition to AutoCAD and Google SketchUp, I also use apps on my iPad to work with clients. I can download photos for them to view. I can also draw and make notes right on the photos during the meeting. It keeps the appointment on track, is paperless and keeps overhead costs down."
Suha Atassi-Dimon, owner/designer
Dimon Designs, LLC
Chicago, IL
"The only apps I use from a business point of view relate to calendars, phone numbers and list management. I find it more advantageous to use an Ultrabook than a cell phone when it comes to working in the field."
Theresa M. Sterbis
owner/chief designer
Project Partners Design
Fremont, CA
"We do not currently use any apps for our business. It is something we would consider for the future as we are always trying to stay up to date and give our clients the best experience possible."
Lisa Santosuosso, co-owner
Apple Wood Kitchen & Bath
Apple Wood Construction
Windham, NH
"We use 20/20 as well as all of the Microsoft Office products. We also use a productivity app called Improveit! 360, which we use for calendars, appointments, follow up and ordering jobs."
Greg Poszyler, manager
Dream Kitchen Designs, LLC
Cranford, NJ
"The apps we use for our business are fun creative apps that are accessible to our clients as well, such as Pinterest, Houzz and Zillow Digs."
Kimberly Martin
owner/senior designer
Custom Kitchens by Martin
Mendon, NY
"We currently do not use apps, but we are always willing to try new things that might better our business, and more importantly, better serve our customers."
Becky Walker Flagg, showroom mgr.
Walker Kitchen Design
Granby, CT
"I use Evernote a lot. It has so many different aspects that make life easier when on a jobsite. I also use Houzz, Pinterest, Skitch (part of Evernote) and Measure Pro. My clients are as busy as I am. I think they appreciate that our meetings are focused and time efficient. It works for all of us when I can pull up info or photos right there, as opposed to waiting for an email later."
Rebecca Reynolds, owner
New Canaan Kitchens
Fairfield County, CT
"I use Dropbox, Evernote, Pinterest and Houzz. Without question, Houzz has been most influential in my business. There are some clients who have not heard of Houzz, but after I mention how it will help us 'see each other's minds,' and after they have had a chance to visit the site, they always remark how helpful and intuitive the site is to help them convey ideas to me."
Sandra Brannock, AKBD
Expert Kitchen Designs, LLC
Amissville, VA
"Apps are a part of everyday business. Almost all of my catalogs and countertop material selections are on my iPad. I also use Evernote and GoodReader on a daily basis."
Annette M. Starkey, CKD, CBD
Living Environment Design
Orangevale, CA
"I currently use Dropbox. I invite clients to view renderings, approve plans and leave me items if they are remote or if they are unable to come in person."
Maria Stapperfenne, CKD, CBD
division manager
Tewksbury Kitchens & Baths
Whitehouse Station, NJ
"I am starting to use apps, such as the Cambria app, so clients can see what a large slab of quartz looks like."

Welcome to the Futhark Runes List. This is a non racist or political forum which primarily focuses on the three traditional timelines of futhark runes and their relevant applications both during their actual timelines and their development into the modern. Please include a Yahoo profile and email contact if you wish to be admitted.
Icelandic is a Northern Germanic language with about 250,000 speakers in Iceland (Ísland), Canada (Kanada) and the USA. Icelandic is the closest of the Northern Germanic languages to Old Norse though the idea that Icelanders can read the Old Norse sagas in the original is a myth.
Viðartrú is a small branch of Heiðni dedicated to reviving the green, to reintegrating into nature. We believe that as we were created as integral parts of the whole of nature, we may progress only when we move within the natural cycles; and that nature, represented for us as a thriving forest, is our home - to guard, defend, and enrich. We believe that in the pursuit of upholding excellence in action, trú human beings are ideally the exemplars of proper behaviour. We take with the Wyrd of humanity the stewardship of the living creatures with which we cohabit this world. Our lives should be filled with pleasure, beauty, humour, love, music, food and everything else that brings joy. But only that joy brought about by actions we've done that were right and true is true everlasting joy, and joy found in the destruction of others whether in resources, mind, body or spirit, is not something set into the original Wyrd of man, and leads to nothing but his own destruction.
Rune-Net was formed by a group of rune students who have been studying as a network for over 10 years, and individually for more than 25 years. The purpose of Rune-Net is to promote the study of our runic heritage, sorting the ancient facts from the more recent fantasies. We have a number of texts on-line to make Rune-Net studies accessible to all at a minimal cost. We have members in Australia, the USA, Canada, the UK, and Germany.
Founded in California over 18 years ago, the Galinn Grund Viking Center and Library serves as an between the world of contemporary scholarship and serious students of Viking-Age history, culture, and mythology, regardless of their educational status or affiliation. Galinn Grund makes the best of contemporary Viking-Age scholarship available to researchers, students, academicians, and independent scholars and promotes the free exchange of information, ideas, and research.

A Modern Odinist Movement
We aim to bring the spiritual teachings and values of the Odinic Heathen way to the modern world. We strive to learn, to teach, to live in accordance with our Gods, and to provide a voice for Heathenry in the world at large.
* Presenting the Northern Tradition to the general public, including those familiar with paganism;
* Working with the Olgar Trust to purchase woodland for conservation and ritual use;
* Training Heathen priests and priestesses
The Odinshof is a religious and educational charity, (Reg.No.801629,) established on 7th October, 1987CE to promote the ancient teachings and philosophy of Odin. As a Heathen organisation the Odinshof acknowledges all other Germano-Celtic deities of old Europe.
I am Wayland Skallagrimsson and I have created this website as a devotional act to my gods, in partial payment for all the many things they have done for me, and given to me. I provide within it online altars, for heathens who are too poor, or in the wrong place, or travelling, and so have no access to altars of their own. I also provide content concerning the history of the Asatru faith, and also a description of it in modern times. Holy days, and ancient practices associated with them are listed. An essay on my patron, Odin, is also within, as is a description of the practices, ancient and modern, of the Odinic mystery cult known as the Berserkergang. Other essays accompany them.
Christopher Bell
From an early age my work has followed certain threads, until now they have all woven themselves into a tapestry of Celtic and Medieval legends, Pagan folklore, Gothic romanticism and Fetish Imagery. I have always drawn from subjects that have moved and inspired, exited and delighted me.

Not that I don't appreciat the work you've done here (the game is looking sweet so far), but I must confess I'm no fan of target-lock-on. A 1st-person view would be much better, in my opinion.
A voxel based adventure and RPG. Vox is a highly customizable game where you can create, destroy, edit and build anything you desire. The whole world, every item and object within it, and even the characters and inhabitants of Vox are created using a custom 'Voxel Engine' that allows for an unparalleled level of creativity. Come and explore your imagination!
New camera modes including follow-cam and target-cam and also a cinematic targeting system, very similar to the one used in the Zelda games.
Posted by AlwaysGeeky on Dec 11th, 2012
Vox has had a camera makeover recently and I have been fine tuning the 3d cameras that are used in the game. I have also added new camera systems that can be used in different situations to make sure that the camera is always facing and directed at the action in game.
Here is a video demonstrating the new camera systems and the new enemy target/lock-on mode:
The target camera is very useful in combat and can be used to make sure that you are always facing and targeting the enemy that you want to fight. When in target mode, the screen renders in a letterbox to give it a more cinematic feel and the player always facing towards the enemy. This allows you to side-jump and dodge attacks as well as attack the enemy easily yourself with your skills and weapons.
There is a follow-cam that you can activate that intelligently rotates the camera as you move so you dont need to rotate it using your mouse (or analog stick). This will help to keep the camera facing the right direction as you are moving around in the world.
If you like what you see and you would like to support Vox as Indie Game of the Year, you can cast a vote for Vox, since it has made it through as a finalist in the Adventure category! Thank you for any support. :D
Not that I don't appreciat the work you've done here (the game is looking sweet so far), but I must confess I'm no fan of target-lock-on. A 1st-person view would be much better, in my opinion.
There is a first person mode, you can see this demonstrated in the video above.
yea i kind of agree with Theon here, i mean it was a good idea and i appreciate that you are working on new systems but i think you should take away the lock on system and just make combat more fluent and more fun and a little more skill and fast paced because i think with this kind of system the game might get boring or consecutive, just letting you know. but i love your game so far! you a really doing a good job!
you might want to look at cubeworlds system in combat, its really nice. you can find wollay's blog here (The creator of cubeworlds) Wollay.blogspot.com his game is going out really nicely and you could get a lot from it :D
I disagree with taintedpyro813, a game is an expression of the programmer's mind, I would hate if Vox copied Cube World's design.
Both games are supposed to play differently and I think they really should. I'm actually eagerly waiting for both to be released (as in 'final' version).
I really like how the game is coming along so far and I also think this lock-on rendering mode looks interesting.
It seems right now the lock-on mode triggers through a hotkey, and I think that's a good thing because then you are not forced to use it.
All in all, I think this is a great update and I'm expecting even more amazing ones to come :)

A Delhi Court on Saturday allowed investigators to conduct a narco-analysis test on top Maoist leader Kobad Ghandy.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja allowed the narco-test of Ghandy after the Delhi Police contended that it had not been able to elicit all the information from him despite use of all scientific methods of interrogation.
The court passed the order after going through the medical report submitted by AIIMS saying that 59-year-old Ghandy was medically fit to undergo the test.

My son left for boot camp on July 11th. It has been the hardest 3 weeks without him. First letters broke my heart because he couldnt understand why he hadn't received any mail. Today received letter and he had gotten a letter from me and I could tell he was so happy. I am praying for all our sons and daughters.

Hello, I'm a recruit mom of 3rd RCT Bn, Co K, Plt 3077. My son left for Parris Island on June 27th.. There's pictures posted on facebook for different Co's. Search facebook for MCRD PARRIS ISLAND, click on photos, there are many different photo albums to look through. TD-13 is pictures of Kilo Co, but I didn't see my son in any of those pictures. I will keep looking maybe I will see him in training before he graduates. I can't wait until graduation, I hope everything is going well for my son I say the recruit's prayer everyday in hopes it gives him just a little extra strength, and courage to make it thru each day. I'm sure the pictures will look great, although, I haven't seen a Marine picture with a smile. They are always with a very serious look on their faces! And, I can't wait to see the recruit's yearbook!
Posted by: Nancy Mutek on 07/30/2011
I see the schedule but I was looking for the photos that you were talking about. My son is in Plt 2074, 2nd Bn F. Co. ........ your is in 2078 .... do you think they ever meet up? I would like to connect with family of recruits in my sons platoon if possible. He is in week 7, hopefully graduating Sept 16th .
Thanks, Hilde

Plasmon nanofocusing in a dielectric hemisphere covered in tapered metal film |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 12, pp. 12866-12876 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1061 KB)
We propose and analyze a new type of mechanically robust optical nanofocusing probe with minimized external environmental interference. The probe consists of a dielectric optical fiber terminated by a dielectric hemisphere – both covered in thin gold film whose thickness is reduced (tapered) along the surface of the hemisphere toward its tip. Thus the proposed probe combines the advantages of the diffraction-limited focusing due to annular propagation of the plasmon with its nanofocusing by a tapered metal wedge (i.e. a metal film with reducing local thickness). The numerical finite-element analysis demonstrates strongly subwavelength resolution of the described structure with the achievable size of the focal spot of ~20 nm with up to ~150 times enhancement of the local electric field intensity. Detailed physical interpretations of the obtained results are presented and possible application as a new type of SNOM probe for subwavelength imaging, spectroscopy and sensing are also discussed.

Video: Mariah Carey – 'Triumphant' feat. Meek Mill And Rick Ross
By 0 Comments
Mariah Carey releases the video to her latest single "Triumphant", in which Mariah and Rick Ross accompany Meek Mill, their boxer, into the boxing ring for a battle against the odds. — This is definitely a 'classic' Carey video, I'm just not quite sure whether it fits into the 2012 music mold.

Thanks Krosero for this info. The original article in this thread transported me straight back to 1981 in a flash and I recall my feeling after the match, which was that I'd never seen Borg play so badly near the end of a match. He seemed absolutely "not all there" and very distracted. I can only assume that the death threat did play a role, ON TOP of the fact that he had finally relinquished Wimbledon (not easy for him, that's for sure). Your statistics remind of something about that match.
I could not figure exactly what was wrong. Of course, I did not know as much about Borg in some respects as I do now. Your highlighting of the fact that ON PAPER, McEnroe did not play a particularly spectacular match, was my feeling was well.
It was just Borg's play that was so "alien" to me. He literally looked like he just wanted OUT of that stadium, no matter what. Now the 1980 final was different. He had that match in his hands in the 4th set, only to lose in a tight 5 setter! Anyway, thanks again for all your videos, statistics, and insights on this board.
Bjorn Borg defied analysis. No one could manufacture a man that won 6 French Open and 5 straight Wimbledon titles. - Andrew Longmore

Hey guys, I really doubt this would work because the post would just be way too small and they'll be considered spam my Mods. I have no idea how to make this game longer, but I'm just saying. Also, I'm sorry if I cut in between the flow of this game.

Results Summary
Project Features
Low Carbon Structure
The building was designed with low embodied structure materials including straw bale walls, recycled bricks and timber.
High Density
The three homes are significantly more dense than the surrounding suburb, meaning that there is less likelihood of the developments being demolished in the future.
Thermal Performance
An exceptional thermal performance means that there is no requirement for cooling and/or heating of the building.
Photovoltaic System
A solar PV system allows for renewable energy generation, with excess generation fed into the grid, offsetting coal-fired electricity.
Low Carbon Finishes
Most of the finishes in this design are natural, meaning there was a decrease in use of plaster and paint and their associated recurring embodied carbon.
