The CrebA/Creb3-like transcription factors are major and direct regulators of secretory capacity
ABSTRACT Secretion occurs in all cells, with relatively low levels in most cells and extremely high levels in specialized secretory cells, such as those of the pancreas, salivary, and mammary glands. How secretory capacity is selectively up-regulated in specialized secretory cells is unknown. Here, we find that the CrebA/Creb3-like family of bZip transcription factors functions to up-regulate expression of both the general protein machinery required in all cells for secretion and of cell type-specific secreted proteins. Drosophila CrebA directly binds the enhancers of secretory pathway genes and is both necessary and sufficient to activate expression of every secretory pathway component gene examined thus far. Microarray profiling reveals that CrebA also up-regulates expression of genes encoding cell type-specific secreted components. Finally, we found that the human CrebA orthologues, Creb3L1 and Creb3L2, have the ability to up-regulate the secretory pathway in nonsecretory cell types.

- "Even though sequence analyses of a number of 5′-flanking regions of Rab1b-mod- ulated genes indicate that the CREB consensus site was present in many of them, we cannot assume that the mechanism described above is controlling the expression of all the genes identified by our microarray analysis. Interestingly, the CREB-binding motif on the GM130 and KDELR promoters is similar to the CrebA binding site confirmed to be functional in a variety of secretory pathway genes in Drosophila (Fox et al., 2010). Because the CREB-like proteins Creb3L1 and Creb3L2 are the closest mammalian orthologues to Drosophila CrebA, we cannot rule out that other transcription factors, such as a CREB-like protein, could interact with the CREB consensus binding site on the GM130 or KDELR promoter regions.

Article: Rab1b overexpression modifies Golgi size and gene expression in HeLa cells and modulates the thyrotrophin response in thyroid cells in culture[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Rab1b belongs to the Rab-GTPase family that regulates membrane trafficking and signal transduction systems able to control diverse cellular activities including gene expression. Rab1b is essential for ER-Golgi transport. Although it is ubiquitously expressed, its mRNA levels vary among different tissues. This work aims to characterize the role of the high Rab1b levels detected in some secretory tissues. We report that, in HeLa cells, an increase in Rab1b levels induces changes in Golgi size and gene expression. Significantly, analyses applied to selected genes, KDELR3, GM130 (involved in membrane transport) and the proto-oncogene JUN, indicate that the Rab1b increase acts as a molecular switch to control their expression at the transcriptional level, resulting in changes at the protein level. These Rab1b-dependent changes require the activity of p38 MAPK and the CREB consensus binding site in those target promoter regions. Moreover, our results reveal that, in a secretory thyroid cell line (FRTL5), Rab1b expression increases in response to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Additionally, changes in Rab1b expression in FRTL5 cells modify the specific TSH-response. Our results show, for the first time, that changes in Rab1b levels modulate gene transcription and strongly suggest that a Rab1b increase is required to elicit a secretory response.Molecular biology of the cell 01/2013; 24(5).

- "Somewhat surprisingly, this decline in myocardin is only transient (see Fig. 7A), and is not sufficient to elicit any significant decrease in the gene expression of its direct targets ACTA2 (encoding αSMA), CNN1 (encoding calponin 1) and TAGLN (transgelin) (see below). The genes CREB3L1 and CREB3L2 encode transcription factors recently demonstrated to control the expression of multiple components of the secretory pathway (Fox et al., 2010). Two genes (SCG2 and SEC14L1) encoding secretory pathway components are also present among the downregulated genes in our data, supporting the hypothesis that TGF-β signaling stimulates secretory function in general in myofibroblasts. "
Article: Molecular Analysis of the TGF-beta Controlled Gene Expression Program in Chicken Embryo Dermal Myofibroblasts.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The myofibroblast is a mesenchymal cell characterized by synthesis of the extracellular matrix, plus contractile and secretory activities. Myofibroblasts participate in physiological tissue repair, but can also cause devastating fibrosis. They are present in the tumor stroma of carcinomas and contribute to tumor growth and spreading. As myofibroblasts derive from various cell types and appear in a variety of tissues, there is marked variability in their phenotype. As regulatory mechanisms of wound healing are likely conserved among vertebrates, detailed knowledge of these mechanisms in more distant species will help to distinguish general from specific phenomena. To provide this as yet missing comparison, we analyzed the impact of the chemical inhibition of TGF-beta signaling on gene expression in chicken embryo dermal myofibroblasts. We revealed genes previously reported in mammalian systems (e.g. SPON2, ASPN, COMP, LUM, HAS2, IL6, CXCL12, VEGFA) as well as novel TGF-beta dependent genes, among them PGF, VEGFC, PTN, FAM180A, FIBIN, ZIC1, ADCY2, RET, HHIP and DNER. Inhibition of TGF-beta signaling also induced multiple genes, including NPR3, AGTR2, MTUS1, SOD3 and NOV. We also analyzed the effects of long term inhibition, and found that it is not able to induce myofibroblast dedifferentiation.Gene 11/2012; 513(1). DOI:10.1016/j.gene.2012.10.069 · 2.08 Impact Factor
- "Considering that CREB3L1 is proteolytically activated in virus-infected cells, the protein may play an important role in preventing virusinduced tumorigenesis. Notably, the ability of CREB3L1 to inhibit cell proliferation has not been observed in previous studies that analyze genes activated by the protein (Kondo et al., 2005; Murakami et al., 2009; Vellanki et al., 2010; Fox et al., 2010). Unlike the current study, these analyses were not performed in virus-infected cells. "
Article: The Membrane-Bound Transcription Factor CREB3L1 Is Activated in Response to Virus Infection to Inhibit Proliferation of Virus-Infected Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: CREB3L1/OASIS is a cellular transcription factor synthesized as a membrane-bound precursor and activated by regulated intramembrane proteolysis in response to stimuli like ER stress. Comparing gene expression between Huh7 subclones that are permissive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication versus the nonpermissive parental Huh7 cells, we identified CREB3L1 as a host factor that inhibits proliferation of virus-infected cells. Upon infection with diverse DNA and RNA viruses, including murine γ-herpesvirus 68, HCV, West Nile virus (WNV), and Sendai virus, CREB3L1 was proteolytically cleaved, allowing its NH(2) terminus to enter the nucleus and induce multiple genes encoding inhibitors of the cell cycle to block cell proliferation. Consistent with this, we observed a necessity for CREB3L1 expression to be silenced in proliferating cells that harbor replicons of HCV or WNV. Our results indicate that CREB3L1 may play an important role in limiting virus spread by inhibiting proliferation of virus-infected cells.Cell host & microbe 07/2011; 10(1):65-74.

Michael Lind: The Third Great Economic Collapse
Michael Lind is the author of Land of Promise: an Economic History of the United States and a columnist for Salon.
More than half a decade has passed since the recession that triggered the financial panic and the Great Recession, but the condition of the world continues to be summed up by what I've called 'turboparalysis' — a prolonged condition of furious motion without movement in any particular direction, a situation in which the engine roars and the wheels spin but the vehicle refuses to move.
The greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression might have been expected to produce revolutions in politics and the world of ideas alike. Outside of the Arab world, however, revolutions are hard to find. Mass unemployment and austerity policies have caused riots in Greece and Spain, but most developed nations are remarkably sedate. Scandal and sputtering economic growth appear unlikely to prevent another peaceful transition of power within the Communist party of China. And in the US, the re-election of President Obama and the strengthening of his Democratic party in the US Senate reflect long-term demographic changes in an increasingly non-white and secular American electorate, not the endorsement of a bold agenda for the future by the Democrats. They don't have one.
In the realm of ideas, turboparalysis is even more striking. On both sides of the Atlantic, political and economic debate proceed as though the bursting of the global bubble economy did not discredit any school of thought. Right, left and centre, the players are the same and so are their familiar moves. Public debate is dominated by the same three groups — market fundamentalists, centrist neoliberals, and mildly reformist social democrats — who have been debating one another since the 1980s. Someone who went to sleep like Rip Van Winkle in the 1980s when Reagan and Thatcher were in power and awoke today would find nothing new in the way of economic theories or political doctrines.
By now one might have expected the emergence of innovative and taboo-breaking schools of thought seeking to account for and respond to the global crisis. But to date there is no insurgent political and intellectual left, nor a new right, for that matter. In the US, the militant Tea Party right, many of whose candidates went down to defeat in this year's elections, represents the last gasp of the Goldwater-Reagan coalition, not something fresh. The American centre-left under Obama is intellectually exhausted and politically feeble, reduced to rebranding as 'progressive' policies like the individual mandate system ('Obamacare') and tax cuts for the middle class which originated on the moderate right a generation ago. In Britain, the manifestos of various 'colour revolutions' — Blue Labour, Red Tory and so on — have the feel of PR brochures promoting rival cliques of ambitious apparatchiks rather than the epochal thinking the times require.
Why has a global calamity produced so little political change and, at the same time, so little rethinking?..

Assoc. Press Delegitimizing Israel's Capital City/BBC Blaming the Victims
Once again we see the Old Media using subtle rhetoric in an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of Israel, this time it's the Associated Press playing the trick.
In a November 16 story about Palestinian rockets being launched into Israel's civilian population, the AP decided to try and cajole readers into feeling that Israel's capital isn't really Israel's legitimate capital.
This is how the AP described Jerusalem: (my bold)
An attack on Israel's self-declared capital marks a major escalation by Gaza militants, both for its symbolism and its distance from the Palestinian territory. Located roughly 75 kilometers (50 miles) away from the Gaza border, Jerusalem had been thought to be beyond the range of Gaza rocket squads.
What is this "self-declared" business, AP? Are you trying to say that Jerusalem isn't really or legitimately Israel's capital? Of course you are.
AP even made a pair of tweets late in the morning to flog this story, the second of which read:
The Associated Press @AP
Air raid sirens in Jerusalem signal a possible rocket attack aimed at Israel's self-declared capital: http://apne.ws/ZXOoMR -KH (correction)
Why is that Tweet a "correction"? Because about an hour earlier AP made a "mistake" by posting the following:
The Associated Press @AP
Air raid sirens wail in Jerusalem, signaling a possible rocket attack aimed at Israel's capital: http://apne.ws/U3UaeK -KH
Ooops, they forgot the "self-proclaimed" part, eh?
But, think about this logically for a second, won't you? Exactly which capital in exactly which country isn't a "self-proclaimed capital"? I mean, isn't that how life works? You start a country and declare which of your great cities will be your capital? What country allows foreign interests to determine what their capital will be? Of course Jerusalem is Israel's "self-proclaimed capital" just as Washington DC is America's self-proclaimed capital and Paris is France's self-proclaimed capital!
The point I am making is that the AP's use of "self-proclaimed capital" to describe Jerusalem is both unnecessary logically — everyone's capital is self-proclaimed, it is a given — and an attempt to make readers discount the legitimacy of the place — "Oh, those nasty Jews only say it is their capital," readers are supposed to think.
It is a perfect example of the anti-Jewish bias in the liberal Old Media.
The BBC got into the hating on the Jews game today, too, essentially saying that the Terrorists Are as Bad as the Victims.
Once again it's moral equivalence day at the BBC. To celebrate, the BBC took to Twitter to let the world know that it thinks that there is no difference between terrorists and victims.
If you are unaware of what is going on in Israel lately, Hamas and the Palestinians have been launching rockets into the Jewish State killing women and children in a renewed and sustained attack. Today, the Israeli government and her Defense Force (IDF) have at last had enough. The IDF even took to Twitter to warn the Palestinians that retaliation is immanent.
Israel launched a few rockets of her own this week and has made threats that it is considering using ground forces to stop the constant barrage of rockets steaming into its territory, killing innocents.
So, how did the BBC turn this unprovoked attack on Israel by terrorists and a corresponding announcement of defensive action into an exercise in blame-the-victims?
Check out the BBC's Tweet.
.@Twitter bans "threats of violence", but will it stop tweets by Hamas's @AlqassamBrigade & Israel's @IDFSpokesperson? http://bbc.in/Sso5cD
Note that BBC wants Twitter to stop the Tweets of both Hamas and the IDF as if they both share exactly the same guilt.
This is nothing less than the BBC siding with the Palestinian terrorists and saying their victims in Israel are just as bad.

Dexter Fowler Move Proves That Competition Still Key In Houston Astros' Scheme
One thing has always remained throughout the adversity and the Jim Crane/Jeff Luhnow administration, and that's the tremendous sense of competition within the Houston Astros clubhouse.
Dexter Fowler is traditionally a center fielder. So is George Springer. The fact that a guy like Springer, who is being heralded as all but the messiah in Houston, is not being handed the job of patrolling Tals' Hill, is a testament to the dedication that the Astros have continued to enact as far as progressing the team goes.
Nothing is a guarantee, and that is the only guarantee. Each position is contested for, from the flimsy bullpen to the all-but-set outfield. Each player continues to have to put 100 percent effort into his daily routine to ensure that his spot is not jeopardized by someone further down in the system that is performing that much better and putting that much more effort into their play.
It's a simple scheme, but one that continues to remain effective. And why wouldn't it? When players get complacent, they no longer feel the need to continuously push themselves to the limit to get better. They get lulled into a sense of safety.
This sort of problem will never plague the Astros. On a team that's fresh off three straight 100-loss seasons, that should sound incredibly refreshing. No matter what, each player that goes out onto the diamond is putting everything he has into his game — and if not, he'll be replaced.

Lawyers & Law Firms
Civil Litigation
A law professor who makes money from huge law school loans wants more people to financially destroy themselves by attending law school? Truly shocking.
Ms. Jewel is just trolling for new law school applicants (aka suckers). The word is out about the law school scam and no one in their right mind wants to buy a JD these days.
I've downloaded and read Ms. Jewel's paper. The excerpt reprinted in the blog fails to included that her basis for these claims is "anecdotal . . . it derives mostly from listening to my former students who are struggling to make their way economically . . . but who are nonetheless ecstatic to have the J.D. and the power it signifies within their communities and families." What a heck of a researcher! I echo one of my old law professors (who holds a PhD in Philosophy) when I say that "legal scholarship" is a misnomer. Ms. Jewel should learn how to cite to actual data and perform a regression analysis. Something that MBAs learn, not JDs. I know, I held an MBA for 13 years before attending law school. The JD was a mistake. I am a child of immigrant parents and the first to get a college degree. My "anecdotal evidence" differs far from Ms. Jewel's findings. Even a quick look at Wikipedia (and its citations) shows the vast majority of small-claims cases of filed pro se. Although, I confess it does not differentiate those pro se litigants that are attorneys. For example, in Utah 99 percent of petitioners and 99 percent of respondents are self-represented.
Being my family's "in-house" attorney is not a blessing for the community, but a curse. I certainly wouldn't hire myself. Law graduates, as I heard a UCLA law professor say once, are "incompetent" to practice law. After spending three years with some of them, I can only agree.
Further, the rules of evidence are relaxed in small-claims court (in NY anyway). Hearsay is admissible. The standard is to do "substantial justice" -- which is pretty lax. A litigant with a high-school education would be able represent himself or herself just fine. The same goes for sitting in the Judge's chair. Common sense prevails for all but the rarest of cases.
Can I slide my cultural capital card at the BP punp?
A law degree carries with it zero "cultural capital". In fact, it's LESS THAN ZERO. Lawyers are despised, distrusted, and disliked. No one likes lawyers and no one wants them around--except, in both cases, for other lawyers. If you have a law degree and decide to leave the law to work in some other industry, the law degree and having practiced as a lawyer is a handicap, not a bonus. No one wants to hire lawyers for jobs that don't require a lawyer and right now there are very few lawyer jobs available. Going to law school is, frankly, the absolute worst decision anyone could make right now.
I agree with Ms. Jewel. I think the culture cache of a law degree is quite similar to the cultural value that low income individuals gained when they were offered sub-prime mortgages. Keep'em coming.

Debt Mastery: How to kill off heavy duty debt in no time
You've all seen plenty of debt in your time, whether you're struggling with credit cards, lines of credit, upside down car payments or a house that isn't gaining any value but rather losing it, all of which comprises the constant struggle for you to save money and have financially sound futures waiting in the wings.
As debt continues to amass, saving money becomes even more difficult as one paycheck turns to another but most of your earnings is put toward those credit card and debt related bills, some worse than others.
The debt on your credit card often can't be tied to something tangible like a car loan or home mortgage, even if you promise the creditors that you used your Visa for a new furnace. The debt that is credit card related or that can't be dubbed as typical haunts the masses to the point that they're looking for just about any way to pay it off as quickly as possible.
What happens, however, is you get bogged down on a budget that won't allow you to spend more than the minimum payment and your $10,000 in debt means you'll be paying on it for way too long and that aforementioned ends up doubling or tripling by the time you pay it off, which could take years.
So how exactly do you get this debt paid off faster?
The trick to paying it off is confronting it rather than just resigning yourself to the fact that you'll always have it. That minimum payment being paid is a good thing and won't hurt your credit score, but those who want to really put a dent in their debt tend to take debt on right away and look at it from a planning stage rather than a "it will be paid off when I get to it" type mentality.
Debt consolidation tends to be viewed as a negative for a number of reasons, when in actuality it can expedite the process of getting your debt paid. The downside is the monthly payment might be a little higher, but it often trains you to tighten your budget and cut your time in half when it comes to paying off debt.
Consolidating your debt can be done in a number of ways but the best tends to be working with a third party company. The move isn't going to hurt your credit but rather is viewed by creditors as a lateral move. You may need to explain this payment when it comes to buying a house, but that can be soothed with a simple letter.
Obviously, if you can't afford a higher payment through the debt consolidation company, it might not be quite as feasible but force yourself to look at that higher payment to get not only your credit paid off faster but reshape your budget for the better.
Stick it to you: Are you having trouble staying on course with budget?
Everyone says they have a budget, which certainly means that you're at least trying to save money and spend less. The question remains, however, isn't so much how good is your budget but are you actually sticking with it the way you planned?
The point of having a budget is implementing it in a way so you can stick to it, plan accordingly and ultimately save money and pad your finances for whatever reason you're thinking of this week: savings account, nest egg, financial future and retirement.
What tends to happen, however, is budgeting becomes more about saying you have one and less about actual execution. Budgeting is like joining a gym; just because you did one, doesn't necessarily translate into the other.
Joining a gym doesn't mean you're going to go, much the same way having a budget doesn't mean you're going to stick with that, either.
So how exactly can you train your brain to stay on course as it relates to your budget and not falling off course?
If you're overlooking your spending habits, that's a first sign indicator that you really haven't fully grasped the idea of a budget. Yes, we know you have your bills and the larger debt that you have to account for on a daily basis. That being said, when was the last time you put putting gas in your car, meals eaten out in restaurants, coffee and clothing on your budget as being worthwhile to track?
Those items and others of that ilk tend to get lost behind car payments, house mortgages, rent on that townhouse or apartment and your cable and phone bills. You have to make sure you've planned to add to that budget to include things you spend money on daily, since those add up quickly into thousands spent yearly and you wondering aloud why you aren't able to save with the budget as it stands.
You also want to look closely at your budget at it pertains to credit cards, specifically how much you're paying on them. If you're only paying the minimum payment, you might want to rethink your repayment options. The minimum payment can suffice if your goal is ultimately to build more into your savings account and you have a fixed payment in mind. That minimum might be part of your budget if that's all you can afford, but checking your budget to increase the minimum means less high interest paid over time, but also the ability decrease overall debt faster.
Budgeting bites the dust typically when you don't account for all facets of it, or take money saving as being too topical and typical than it really is. The more specific you can make your budget, along with adhering to it, the better chance you have of success.

... quite soon that that took way too long so we switched over to the interstate. Arrived at the airport after probably almost 3 hours. Dropping off was easy but to get a shuttle bus to the port not. We stood in a queue for over an hour before we were on board and then we were dropped off last. Worst traffic snare in 12 years said our bus driver who was a chatty, very competent Jamaican woman.

This was the nicest pier I can ever remember! There were nice gift shops and a restaurant at the front, and it didn't cost anything to walk out to the end of the pier (haven't seen that in awhile!)

Christmas Miracle
The Houston Press Club gathered at the Hyatt Regency Hotel downtown December 17 for its annual holiday party. Invited to come along were the members of the local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, so the event no doubt contained some of the shining lights of the local media community.
As always, the party also was a charity benefit -- the 70 or so attendees not only donated a total of $150 in cash, but brought along about 100 children's books to pass on to needy families.
And on hand to collect the largesse was none other than Linda Rowe, the executive director of Houston Children's Charity, the evening's beneficiary.
Rowe's name might not ring bells, but she used to run the local chapter of Variety Club International, until complaints about high-flying expense-account lunches and fund-raisers that provided more glitz than cash. (Variety Club galas tended toward pricey entertainment like Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli.)
When the Houston Press wrote about her in 1996, Rowe sued the paper, reporter Tim Fleck and various members of the Variety Club board. She dropped the suit within a year, and set up the Houston Children's Charity.
The HCC has continued the fund-raising philosophy that makes Rowe so popular in River Oaks -- this year's gala featured Paul Anka. The charity got into some hot water in 1999 when Rowe did some fund-raising for then-governor George W. Bush out of the HCC offices, in violation of federal election laws.
The HCC has tried to get the Better Business Bureau to list it as a sanctioned charity, but BBB president Dan Parsons says too much of the charity's money goes to administration. BBB guidelines say no more than 25 percent of a group's funds should go to administrative and fund-raising costs; HCC has argued that it should be exempt from those guidelines because it incurs high entertainment costs in its moneymaking efforts.
"They've never been too cooperative about giving information, but we met with them, and the bottom line is that they just don't meet our guidelines," Parsons says. "They're really -- it's just a big old party. We agreed to disagree."
The most recent year for which HCC provided info to Parson's group was 2000, and the two sides had differing interpretations of the data. The BBB's analysis showed that total revenue for HCC that year was $1.04 million and less than half of that -- 48.4 percent, to be exact -- went to "program services," or the charities the funds were designed to benefit.
Under the HCC's analysis, which used a different method of allocating the cost of its celebrity-studded fund-raisers, 70 percent of the group's budget went to program services. The group, according to its Web site, annually adopts more than 75 needy families in Houston and sponsors programs that provide artificial limbs to indigent children and computers and vans to agencies helping kids.
Rowe referred questions to HCC president Gary Becker, who said the group still hopes to work things out with Parsons. "We probably provide $1.6 million in benefits each year, and what we do falls well within the guidelines of the BBB, but what we and the BBB haven't quite figured out is how to allocate the costs of what we do for the kids and the costs of fund-raising," he says.
Rowe is not unpopular in some media circles -- her events are regularly fawned over in the society column of the Houston Chronicle. Not to mention that Rowe is now married to longtime Channel 13 anchor Dave Ward.
Still, some of the attendees at the Press Club event were baffled that a group of putative watchdogs would be in bed with Rowe's group.
Houston Press editor Margaret Downing, a Press Club board member who was at the party, says she wasn't thrilled to learn the group had given money "to someone whose activities the Press had questioned in the past and who in turn had sued us We're an organization of journalists, and with all the charities available in Houston we end up with one whose representative has a history of questionable activities. What was meant as nothing but good intentions now sounds more like material for next year's Gridiron Show."
As it turns out, the Press Club didn't choose the HCC -- it was the Hyatt that picked the charity that would benefit from the party.
"I had said that any organization or place that was willing to pay for our party could choose the charity we would support," says Press Club president Debra Fraser, news director of KUHF-FM. Fraser says she didn't know about media reports on Rowe or her group until the day after the event.
She says she has no qualms about whether the money will reach its intended source, as opposed to paying the future appearance fee of some showbiz legend like Carol Channing or Barry Manilow. "But," she admits, "there is some kind of odd humor in all of this."
Journalists giving money to a charity that has had questions raised about it by a media outlet We guess next year's Christmas party will benefit Kid-Care. Doesn't Dave Ward's station know something about them?
Modesty Blaze
The Chronicle seems to be suffering from a case of undue modesty lately.
On December 16, TV-sports columnist David Barron hyped an upcoming Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on HBO. The show had a segment on the ongoing dispute over the Master's golf tournament, and Augusta National Golf Club chairman Hootie Johnson's refusal to admit women to his club despite protests by Martha Burk of the National Council of Women's Organizations.
"The dispute over Augusta National's admission policies is a familiar story," Barron wrote, "but HBO brings a couple of new wrinkles. One is the disclosure that Burk's group has set up a Web site, www.augustadiscriminates.org, that will list corporations whose executives belong to the club."
It's nice to see the Chron crediting someone else for a scoop, but the day before the paper had devoted more than 60 inches of copy to what Barron called "a familiar story." Included was a paragraph noting that "in the next few days, [Burk] hopes to have in place a Web site -- www.augustadiscriminates.org -- that will target various corporate CEOs."
Modesty continued the next day, when TV reporter Mike McDaniel did a roundup on how local news stations handled the story of the guy who climbed partway up Williams Tower before plunging to his death.
"Channels 26, 11 Only Stations to Air Video of Fall," the headline read. McDaniel said KHOU news director Mike Devlin "defended his station's coverage, not conceding late Monday afternoon that [the guy] committed suicide, and arguing on behalf of coverage even if it was." A Fox 26 honcho also "defended" using the tape, McDaniel wrote.
He then noted that the city's five other news stations did not show the fall and quoted KPRC news director Nancy Shafran as saying, "Not only did we not show the jump, we didn't even question not showing it."
Other news directors in the story chimed in on the unseemliness of using the video. "Even if we had the video, we wouldn't put it on the air," one said.
One thing McDaniel didn't mention: the Chronicle's own story on the Williams Tower event.
On the paper's Web page, thanks to its partnership with KHOU, that story featured a link to the video that the majority of newsrooms said they wouldn't use. Websurfers could click on it and rerun the clip to their heart's content all day long.
