The past always comes back to bite Zoe McInnes. So of course everybody believes she's to blame when her former father-in-law strokes out in the middle of a fight...with her. Thank God the man's going to be okay. But--of course--Zoe ends up behind bars.
And of course the very sexy man she thought her lawyer had sent to bail her out turns out to be none other than Gideon Tate, the estranged brother of her late husband. Impossible as it should be, he seems to really get Zoe, despite her past involvement with his family. He seems to admire the job she does defending the abused women in her shelter. He even seems to love her just a little bit.... Must appearances always be deceiving?

One of rap's most lauded male hook singers, Long Beach, California, native Nate Dogg (born Nathaniel Hale) died on Tuesday at the age of 41 after several years of health problems.
With his deep, melodic voice and smooth soul rumble, Dogg was one of the key elements in the rise of the West Coast G-Funk sound pioneered by Death Row Records in the early 1990s. Though overshadowed by such peers as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Warren G, Nate was a critical participant in a number of major left-coast gangsta hits, including G's "Regulate" and Dre's iconic solo debut, 1992's The Chronic.
Photos from the life and career of Nate Dogg.
Hale's death was first reported by the Long Beach Press Telegram, which noted that his family announced his death on Tuesday. The cause of death was not announced at press time, but Hale had struggled with serious health issues recently, including suffering a massive stroke in 2007 that left him partially paralyzed and Snoop Dogg and DPG member Daz the hardest.
"We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb," Snoop tweeted. "One of my best friends n a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at poly high where we met. I love u buddy luv. U will always b wit me 4ever n a day u put the g n g funk u put the 1 n 213 n u put yo stamp on evrybdy u ever didit wit … I miss u cuzz I am so sad but so happy I got to grow up wit u and I will c u again n heaven cuz u know d slogan. … All doggs go to heaven yo homie n baby brotha bigg snoopdogg!!"
"R.I.P. TO MY HOMEBOY NATE DOGG DPGC DOGG POUND GANGSTA 4 LIFE," Daz tweeted.
"There is a certain void in hip hop's heart that can never be filled. Glad we got to make history together. RT @SnoopDogg: RIP NATE DOGG," Ludacris tweeted.
"I lost a friend," an emotional Game wrote on his Twitter account. "Been here before. Tears. Memories. One day someone will lose 'US' as well. LIVING until that day comes is our only option. R.I.P. Nate Dogg. Why does it take Death to remind us about the importance of life ??? Cherish every moment cuz tomorrow he mite call your #."
"We love you Nate Dogg, it's never going to be the same" West Coast rapper Xzibit added. Among the others who weighed in on Twitter were Erykah Badu, reclusive comedian Dave Chappelle, Murs and producer Fred Wreck.

A quick update on my troll for the 2011 Midland Downtown Sculpture Series, each individual element for Boris is complete and the next step is assembling all the pieces and filling the interior spaces with expandable foam.
At this point the basic shape is roughed out but there is still a lot of work to do adding finishing details and textures. Boris still needs warts, hair, arms, burlap cape and the final skin texture.
Note that in the photos the head is just sitting on top of the body structure, when it is actually assembled it will sort of be sunk into the top of the body, lowered about 10 inches and positioned looking more straight forward versus looking up.
Currently his progress is dependent on the weather because he needs to be completed in our garage as he is too large to get through the doorway of our house. Lately the weather has been a little too cold (and wet) for me to comfortably work in the garage, hopefully this next week temperatures will start to warm up into the mid 60's.
Overall he is shaping up according to plan and I'm really looking forward to seeing him complete and take his place downtown Midland.
Completed three new character heads built for this year's display, the creatures are called "Wardens" and are the result of possessed pumpkins evolving into something sinister, something evil, something big.
My display really needed something creepy to balance the goofy props I've been building lately so the pumpkins got some Wardens.
The bodies are still in the construction phase and should be complete by the end of next week.
Fingers crossed.
This is the final post of "The Life of Charlie", the experiment where I put one of my sealed papier mache pumpkins outside to withstand the elements and see how it goes.
The good news is that Charlie survived without a trace of damage due to moisture, this information should give you a little confidence when displaying your hard work outside.
Charlie is still outside, but now he has a little bit of company as he joins 22 other pumpkins for a pre-Halloween display on our front porch.
He's happy to have some company and even happier that a good coat of Spar Urethane kept him safe and sound.
Thanks Charlie and have a great Halloween!
Finally getting some projects completed for our Halloween Display 2010, these three large pumpkins stand almost three feet tall and are a mash up of several different projects.
The pumpkins used the trash bag method, the cardboard strip method and the face techniques use for DEMONIKUS.
The tutorial will be available after Halloween, for now I need to keep checking projects off the list.
Build On!
These three pumpkins were started a couple of weeks ago and are the result of mixing three of my different projects into one…the trash bag pumpkins, the new cardboard strip pumpkins and the screaming ½ skulls.
The progress so far is promising…these guys will eventually have eyeballs and get painted with an airbrush.

Despite widespread use of potassium iodide and syrup of hydriodic acid in pulmonary disease, goiter and myxedema are rare and only recently described complications of iodide therapy. The possibility exists that when hypothyroidism and goiter do develop during treatment with iodide-containing medicine, some preexisting defect in thyroidal metabolism may result in marked sensitivity to an antithyroid action of iodide. In an attempt to demonstrate such an abnormality, several techniques have been applied to the study of a patient who developed flagrant myxedema during prolonged ingestion of syrup of hydriodic acid.
Report of a Case
A 67-year-old white widow was admitted to the hospital because of lethargy, intolerance to cold, and hoarseness. One year prior to admission she developed a chronic cough for which she was given syrup of hydriodic acid. Although her cough subsided, she continued to take 6 teaspoonfuls of the syrup daily (420 mg. of hydriodic acid) until

im sick and tired of being sprayed with the bulldog
Fix 1 Put a fire rate lock on the bulldog
fix 2 lower the bull dogs damage
Its a shotgun, it's supposed to deal more damage!
However, I agree that it shouldn't fire as fast AND shouldn't be so accurate. Honestly, if you're shooting during kickback you shouldn't hit the target. If your guy had that much strength to fire that steady, no other guns should have recoil!
Really? You hate it because people are spraying it? Something tells me you have never dealt with a MW3 Striker before. The Bulldog is not overpowered I can care less if people spray it because it has a very short range. If you think it's overpowered then clearly you are just mad cause someone out gunned your assault rifle.

The color of your house is one factor to consider when buying flowers. The style and size of your home are equally as important in selecting plants that look right.
INSIDE: Planting containers
The color of your house is one factor to consider when buying flowers. The style and size of your home are equally as important in selecting plants that look right.
Trying to match flower colors to the color of your siding will make you crazy. Instead, look for colors that complement or contrast your basic house color.
If your home is white, you can pick anything. If your home is green or blue, pick flowers with warm colors like yellow, salmon, ivory or red, Leslie Freytag of the Jackson & Perkins plant company said in an Orange County Register story reprinted in the Chicago Tribune.
Homes of red brick, salmon or terra cotta colors will look good with flowers of soft pinks, blues, and maroons.
Bold colors
Connie Austin, a Rockford master gardener who maintains more than a dozen flower and vegetable beds each summer, doesn't think house color is that important when selecting plants.
"I like to go for bold colors. A bed of bold pink, lime green and deep purple colors will draw your focus to the flowers and not the house."
These days, you can buy flowers in nearly every color there is. Some gardeners use pots of one color and put the same plants in them, too. Some use all of one color, like pink, but different shades of pink.
If you do that, vary the texture of your plants, using some with soft or furry leaves, some with shiny foliage, and some with spiked leaves. A few plants with white flowers often help bring out the colorful ones. A catchy vine, such as a lime-green sweet potato plant, will do the same thing.
Older homes
Smaller or older homes look nice with traditional-sized flower beds, although gardeners can always improvise. But the newer two- or three-story homes need more than a bed of petunias along the front wall, Austin says.
"For large homes, I would suggest staggered, raised beds with flowers in bold and bright colors."
Owners of houses built 100 or so years ago — in the Victorian era — can enhance the look of their property by planting flowers that were in use when the house was new, says Tara Rowland, garden historian at Midway Village Museum.
Circle beds were the rage at that time, so she suggests a circle flower bed with ornamental grass in the middle, then circles of salvia, geraniums, dusty miller and alyssum coming out from the center.
People did not plant flowers against the foundation of their homes back then. That leaves a stark look, but it can be muted with a trellis of clematis or morning glories. The Victorians used cardinal climbers, cypress vines, the purple hyacinth bean and hops as vining plants.
Page 2 of 2 - Subtropicals were popular with those who wanted an exotic look. Plants used back then included castor beans, elephant ears and coleus.
Border gardens also were popular, with flowers along the sidewalk or the side of the yard. Such plants as peonies, hollyhocks, dianthus, lilies, lavender, delphiniums and foxglove were used.
Red and yellow were often used together. "The Victorian period was not all pink and lace," Rowland says. "It was really a very gaudy period."
For fencelines, the old favorites were called Love Lies Bleeding and Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate. Some people bordered their vegetable gardens with showy edibles like asparagus and rhubarb.
Most of the old plants, or modern versions of them, can be bought at local nurseries, Rowland says.
Planting containers
Whether you're planting a large urn or a small flowerbox that hangs off your apartment balcony, the guidelines for a nice-looking arrangement are the same:
— Put the tallest plants in the back or, if your containers are to be seen from all around, in the center. Then put the other plants in descending order based on height.
— Include a plant that will cascade over the side. There are dozens of foliage or flowering plants to choose from.
— Look for variety in texture of leaves of the plants you choose.
— If your container will be in a shady area, you can still have color by using impatiens, begonias, coleus and others.
— Remember, flowers in containers need water more often than those in the ground.

For a band renowned for its live show, the Roots sure are spending a lot of time in the studio.
The group was in the lab for the first part of 2004 working on The Tipping Point (which was released in July), and it'll get cracking on its seventh studio album at the start of 2005. Tentatively titled The Game Theory, the LP is likely to hit stores by the end of next summer, according to drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson.
In the coming months, ?uestlove will be working again with Common on the rapper's new LP, Be (see "Common Lets It Be On Upcoming Down-Home Album" ), which he described as "a return to [Common's] former self." ?uestlove is also working with a new artist, a female singer named Donn, and has resumed his duties as music supervisor of "Chappelle's Show."
As the music supervisor for Jay-Z's "farewell concert" at Madison Square Garden last year, he also took on that title for "Fade to Black," the just-released documentary about the show (see "Usher, Linkin Park, Kanye Walk The Black Carpet For Jay-Z" ).
While ?uestlove calls the concert "a night of so many highs," it was actually the two weeks of rehearsals leading up to it that were most memorable.
"Going through so many songs that never made it [to the concert's final setlist], that was fun!" ?uestlove said. "I was like, 'Can we do "Coming of Age"?' The whole Reasonable Doubt record [is] somewhere in those rehearsal tapes. We did 'Bring it On.' Man, if he would have let us get away with that! 'Regrets,' 'Friend or Foe.' He just wanted to hit 'em with the hits, though, so I was trying to figure out ways to fit 'em in there.
"Some things we got away with," ?uestlove continued. "At the end of 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder,' we got to do one verse of 'It's Hot.' The light-hearted atmosphere made it that much more cool. And Jay was singing the whole [of Outkast's] The Love Below album in rehearsals. He was doing verses in the voice of Chuck D or KRS-One. At the end of the day, he's a [music] nerd like I am."
?uestlove's favorite moment of the actual concert was one where he snuck in an old favorite: During the second verse of "Song Cry," he led his Illadelphonics band through the music of Biggie's "Me and My Bitch."
"Puff, Dame [Dash], a whole bunch of cats were on the side of the stage, and Puff was like [excitedly], 'What the hell you doin'!' " ?uestlove said. "Jay always told me, 'Give me accessories. Let's not just make the burger. The best thing is the onions, the condiments.' He's like, 'Let's mix it up.' Even though it was only 12 bars, it was the best 12 bars of music for me that year."
?uestlove's hope is that other rappers will appreciate those moments and be inspired to expand their musical scope.
"People still don't know the infinite possibilities of a band," he said. "What's very unfortunate is the Roots are [one of] the only [groups] of black musicians on a major label. That could be seen as an honor, but it baffles me. I don't want to be a novelty. Twenty years ago, groups made records: the Commodores, War, Con Funk Shun, the J.B.'s, Brass Construction. Now if any band were to start, it'd be like, 'Man, they just biting the Roots.' And that's a problem."
There are "a million" other live hip-hop bands out there, ?uestlove said — you just have to know how to find them.
"It's one mouse click away — the Internet," he said. "If Ghostface knew what I knew, he'd be in L.A. looking for Breakestra. They are the only band that has caused me to lose sleep. They play those old funk records, and this is the kind of thing Ghostface has been wanting to do his whole life, but he don't know. And I know because I am on the Internet. Cats gotta stay informed. It's like reading the newspaper."

Well said. Phasers in the hands of Khoms (and the Yangs who witnessed the incredible sight of "fireboxes" at work) alters the culture more than someone reading a native document, simply reiterating its meaning.
Prior contamination doesn't give you liberty to do anything you want. Kirk pushes an old man out of the way and gets his greasy paws all over a 2,000 year old document and starts waving it around. And Kirk DOESN'T simply reiterate it's meaning. He gives it a sweeping new definition by saying it applies to the Kohms as well.
If Kirk had just left: executions, looting, pillaging, raping (No, I'm not going to give the Yangs any more credit than any other conquering people)
After Kirk leaves: (In story) At the very least the Yang leader has promised vast social reform.
(In reality) As stated earlier in the thread, some sort of in-house struggle probably resulting in the deposing of Cloud William.
That is the definition of the PD *Interference*.
No, he doesn't reinterpret it. He reiterates what it actually means. And it works in context because the original American Constitution is also meaningless if it doesn't apply to everyone. When it was first drawn up it certainly didn't apply to a whole segment of society that was enslaved in America. But eventually the realization of this crazy paradox was no longer acceptable---it made a mockery of the meaning of the document and the high moral principles Americans professed to stand for.
And in the 1960s, in the midst of racial tensions, this episode was reiterating that message to the audience just as Kirk reiterated to the Yangs.
And there are people today who still cling to notions that the meaning of the Contitution, the principles it espouses, cannot possibly apply to whatever segment or group of people they're against.

US, allies seek to topple Syria gov't to dent anti-Israel resistance: Velayati
It's the policy of the US, Europe and the regional reactionary [regimes] now to topple the Syrian government in order to break the resistance front against Israel." Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic RevolutionA senior adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution says the United States and its allies seek to overthrow the Damascus government in a bid to undercut the anti-Israel resistance front. "It's the policy of the US, Europe and the regional reactionary [regimes] now to topple the Syrian government in order to break the resistance front against Israel," Ali Akbar Velayati told reporters on the sidelines of the first international Scientific Conference on the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Tehran on Tuesday.
He added that while Iran supports the reforms in Syria, it throws its weight behind the Damascus government that serves as an essential ring in the chain of resistance against Israel."The Syrian government is legitimate," Velayati said, adding that "if opposition groups have something to say, they should enter peaceful talks with the Syrian government." This comes as Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said earlier that the Islamic Republic was prepared to facilitate talks between the Syrian government and opposition by hosting a meeting between the two sides in Tehran. "The Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to hold a meeting with the Syrian opposition and invite them to Iran," Salehi said Sunday. "We are prepared to provide grounds for and facilitate dialogue between the Syrian government and opposition," the Iranian foreign minister added. Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. The violence has claimed the lives of many people, including large numbers of security forces. The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing protesters, but Damascus blames 'outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups' for the unrest, asserting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.

I am a sweet, down to Earth, outgoing girl looking for my partner in life. Laughing and traveling are my two most favorite activities. My turn ons are intelligence, quick wit, sincerity, and an ability to make me laugh and smile. Of course, physical attraction is important but I find if there is nothing under the surface, the relationship will not last. I hope to find someone who is close to their family and friends and keeps a healthy balance in life. Someone who shares common interests but at the same time can expose me to new things and vise versa. I have a very busy career and I am over the bar scene, so meeting new faces can be difficult. This is something I have never tried before but I have had several friends find connections this way. So here goes! Let's talk and see what happens.

Article: Systems-level approaches reveal conservation of trans-regulated genes in the rat and genetic determinants of blood pressure in humans[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aims: Human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of hypertension identified only few susceptibility loci with large effect that were replicated across populations. The vast majority of genes detected by GWAS has small effect and the regulatory mechanisms through which these genetic variants cause disease remain mostly unclear. Here, we used comparative genomics between human and an established rat model of hypertension to explore the transcriptional mechanisms mediating the effect of genes identified in 15 hypertension GWAS. Methods and results: Time series analysis of radiotelemetric blood pressure (BP) was performed to assess 11 parameters of BP variation in recombinant inbred strains derived from the spontaneously hypertensive rat. BP data were integrated with ∼27 000 expression quantative trait loci (eQTLs) mapped across seven tissues, detecting >8000 significant associations between eQTL genes and BP variation in the rat. We then compiled a large catalogue of human genes from GWAS of hypertension and identified a subset of 2292 rat-human orthologous genes. Expression levels for 795 (34%) of these genes correlated with BP variation across rat tissues: 51 genes were cis-regulated, whereas 459 were trans-regulated and enriched for 'calcium signalling pathway' (P = 9.6 × 10(-6)) and 'ion channel' genes (P = 3.5 × 10(-7)), which are important determinants of hypertension. We identified 158 clusters of trans-eQTLs, annotated the underlying 'master regulator' genes and found significant over-representation in the human hypertension gene set (enrichment P = 5 × 10(-4)). Conclusion: We showed extensive conservation of trans-regulated genes and their master regulators between rat and human hypertension. These findings reveal that small-effect genes associated with hypertension by human GWAS are likely to exert their action through coordinate regulation of pathogenic pathways.Cardiovascular Research 10/2012; 97(4).

Article: 821 AGE-RELATED DIFFERENCES IN BLOOD PRESSURE RESPONSE TO ACUTE BLOCKADE OF CALCIUM INFLUX AND CALCIUM SENSITIZATION IN WISTAR-KYOTO AND SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RATS[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) are characterized by augmented Ca2+ influx through L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-VDCC), which is one of the most important factors responsible for increased blood pressure (BP). The altered BP regulation in hypertension also includes RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway playing pivotal role in Ca2+ sensitization. The ontogenetic development of Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ sensitization has not been fully examined. Our study was aimed to determine the contribution of these two mechanisms to BP maintenance in conscious normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and SHR at different ages. Design and methods: BP response to acute intravenous administration of cumulative doses of L-VDCC blocker (nifedipine) or Rho kinase inhibitor (fasudil) was determined in 3-, 5-, 7-, 13-, and 26-week-old WKY and SHR. Results: There were no significant differences in BP response to nifedipine induced L-VDCC blockade in all age groups of WKY rats, while in SHR BP response increased with age and/or hypertension level. The same was true for Rho kinase inhibition. In 3-week-old rats nifedipine-sensitive BP components were identical in both strains, whereas BP response to fasudil was greater in 3-week-old WKY than in prehypertensive SHR. Finally, the fasudil-sensitive BP component was greater in 13- and 26-week-old SHR than WKY. Conclusions: Ca2+ influx through L-VDCC and Ca2+ sensitization mediated by RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway are involved in the regulation of vascular tone in both strains. Both mechanisms are augmented in rats with developed hypertension, but RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway seems to be diminished in prehypertensive SHR.

Article: The role of sympathetic nervous system in the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema in spinal cord-injured rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The pronounced activation of sympathetic nervous system is a necessary prerequisite for the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) in rats with balloon compression of spinal cord. In this study we examined whether this is a consequence of rapid activation of spinal pathways leading to sympathetic venoconstriction, blood pressure rise, and reflex bradycardia. We found that NPE development can be prevented by epidural upper thoracic anesthesia or by transection of the upper spinal cord. This indicates an important role of spinal pathways activation. NPE development can also be prevented by moderate blood loss, supporting the role of blood redistribution to pulmonary circulation. In rats developing NPE the catecholamine surge following spinal cord compression involved not only a dramatic increase of circulating norepinephrine but also of epinephrine levels. The pretreatment of rats with α-1 adrenoceptor blocker prazosin, α-2 adrenoceptor blocker yohimbine, or calcium channel blocker nifedipine prevented NPE development, whereas the effect of β-adrenoceptor blockade with propranolol was less convincing. In conclusion, considerable activation of thoracic spinal pathways, followed by marked catecholamine secretion, play a major role in the development of NPE in spinal cord-injured rats. Enhanced α-adrenergic nifedipine-sensitive vasoconstriction is responsible for observed blood pressure changes, subsequent baroreflex bradycardia, and blood volume redistribution, which represent major pathogenetic mechanisms of NPE development.Journal of Applied Physiology 09/2011; 112(1):1-8.

ABSTRACT: Essential hypertension is a major risk factor for several cardiovascular diseases, the etiology of which is not yet completely understood. The problem is that blood pressure (BP) is a typical quantitative trait with multifactorial determination. The interactions of multiple genetic and environmental factors as well as gene–gene interactions cause modifications of various systems that adjust blood pressure to actual living conditions. Numerous environmental factors surrounding the organism could modify its development not only by the influence on the expression of genetic information but mainly by epigenetic mechanisms. However, despite considerable research effort, it is still difficult to identify all genes and/or other genetic determinants leading to essential hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. This is mainly because these diseases usually become a medical problem in adulthood, although their roots might be traced back to earlier stages of ontogeny. The link between distinct developmental periods (e.g., birth and adulthood) should involve the changes in gene expression involving epigenetic phenomena. The purpose of the present paper is to bring some light on gene–environmental interactions potentially implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, with special attention to epigenetic inheritance.

Article: Melatonin improves the restoration of endothelium-derived constricting factor signalling and inner diameter in the rat femoral artery after cessation of L-NAME treatment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Melatonin is suggested to be beneficial in several pathological conditions including arterial hypertension. One of the mechanisms proposed for its antihypertensive action is the protection against endothelial dysfunction. We investigated whether melatonin can accelerate the recovery from N(G)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced hypertension after the cessation of L-NAME administration. Male adult Wistar rats (n=40) were randomized into 3 treated groups: 5-week L-NAME, 5-week L-NAME + 3-week vehicle, 5-week L-NAME + 3-week melatonin and into 2 age-matched control groups. The blood pressure was measured in the carotid artery. The NO-signalling was represented by NO-synthase activity and expression in the aorta and NO-mediated relaxations of femoral and mesenteric arteries. The endothelium-derived-constricting factor (EDCF)-signalling was represented by aortic cyclooxygenase-2 expression and femoral EDCF-mediated contractions. Oxidative load was determined in the aorta based on conjugated dienes concentration and inner diameter was measured in femoral arteries. L-NAME caused hypertension, reduced NO-signalling and arterial diameter and increased oxidative load and EDCF-signalling. While the NO-signalling was restored spontaneously 3 weeks after L-NAME cessation, the EDCF-signalling, oxidative load and arterial remodeling were completely restored only when melatonin treatment was administered during the recovery period. The blood pressure regression was comparable between spontaneous and melatonin recovery. Although melatonin did not accelerate blood pressure reduction, it attenuated EDCF-contractions and oxidative load and enlarged arterial diameter. These effects may be beneficial for cardiovascular protection.Journal of Hypertension 09/2010; 28 Suppl 1(Suppl 1):S19-24. DOI:10.1097/01.hjh.0000388490.28213.de · 4.72 Impact Factor

Article: Influence of calcium-dependent potassium channel blockade and nitric oxide inhibition on norepinephrine-induced contractions in two forms of genetic hypertension[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The activation of Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels (BK(Ca)) leads to the attenuation of vascular contraction. Our study aimed to evaluate BK(Ca) influence on norepinephrine (NE)-induced femoral artery contraction in two forms of genetic hypertension. NE dose-response curves were studied before and after BK(Ca) blockade or after combined blockade of BK(Ca) and NO synthase (NOS) in femoral arteries with intact endothelium from normotensive Wistar (WIS), hypertensive hereditary hypertriglyceridemic (HTG), or spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). NE-induced contractions of femoral arteries were augmented in both hypertensive strains compared with Wistar rats, but acetylcholine-induced relaxation was impaired in HTG only. The increase of basal vascular tone of isolated arteries after BK(Ca) blockade was similar in all rat strains, but subsequent NOS inhibition increased basal vascular tone more in vessels from both hypertensive rat strains. NOS inhibition increased sensitivity to NE in all strains, but BK(Ca) blockade in SHR only. Neither treatment enhanced maximal NE-induced contraction. NO-dependent attenuation of NE-induced contractions was greater in SHR than HTG or Wistar vessels, whereas large conductance Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels may play a greater role in modulating vascular contraction in the severe form of hypertension.Journal of the American Society of Hypertension 05/2010; 4(3):128-34.

Article: Melatonin interactions with blood pressure and vascular function during L-NAME-induced hypertension.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The mechanisms responsible for the antihypertensive effect of melatonin are not completely understood. To elucidate the possible role of the nitric oxide (NO) pathway in the hemodynamic actions of melatonin, the effects of this indolamine on vascular function during hypertension induced by the NO-synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME) were investigated. Four groups of male adult Wistar rats were employed: control, L-NAME (40 mg/kg), melatonin (10 mg/kg) and L-NAME + melatonin for 5 wks. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured invasively in the carotid artery. Conjugated dienes concentration (an oxidative load marker), NOS RNA expression and its activity and RNA expression of cyclooxygenase-(COX)-1 and COX-2 were determined in the aorta. Acetylcholine-induced responses and their NO-mediated component were evaluated in femoral and mesenteric artery. Moreover, endothelium-derived constricting factor (EDCF)-dependent vasoconstriction and inner diameter were determined in the femoral artery. Chronic L-NAME treatment induced hypertension, elevated the oxidative load and inhibited NOS activity. Moreover, impaired NO-dependent relaxation, augmented EDCF-constriction, increased COX-2 expression and reduced arterial inner diameter were observed. Melatonin added to L-NAME treatment completely prevented elevation of the oxidative load in the aorta. However, melatonin was not able to prevent NOS activity decline, elevation of COX-2 expression or the impairment of vascular responses (except moderate improvement in relaxation of small mesenteric arteries) and it exerted only slight antihypertensive effect. In conclusion, in addition to the reduction of the oxidative load, the restoration of the NO pathway seems to play an important role in the antihypertensive effect of melatonin.Journal of Pineal Research 03/2010; 48(2):102-8.

Article: Role of nifedipine-sensitive sympathetic vasoconstriction in maintenance of high blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats: Effect of Gi-protein inactivation by pertussis toxin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High blood pressure (BP) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) is attributed to excessive activity of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and relative nitric oxide deficiency. An important part of SNS hypertensive action is exerted by calcium influx through L-type of voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-VDCC). The overexpression of pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive inhibitory G-proteins (Gi) participating in the development and maintenance of high BP in SHRs suggested us to study Gi-protein involvement in the pathway through which noradrenergic vasoconstriction and calcium influx can be coupled. The participation of main vasoactive systems (angiotensin II, norepinephrine, nitric oxide) in BP maintenance was investigated in conscious SHR and WKY rats (half of them being pretreated with PTX, 10 microg/kg i.v., 48 h before the experiment). To evaluate the contribution of Gi-proteins and L-VDCC to vasoconstriction induced by exogenous norepinephrine, dose-response curves were determined before and after acute nifedipine administration. PTX pretreatment of SHRs significantly decreased BP and reduced sympathetic vasoconstriction, which was partially substituted by enhanced angiotensin II-dependent vasoconstriction. PTX pretreatment also reduced nitric oxide-dependent vasodilation in both rat strains. PTX pretreatment of SHRs decreased BP component sensitive to acute blockade of calcium entry by nifedipine. In both strains, PTX pretreatment as well as acute nifedipine administration caused substantial rightward shift of norepinephrine dose-response curves (without additive effects of both treatments). The enhanced contribution of SNS to hypertension maintenance in SHRs is mediated by Gi-protein-coupled pathway controlling calcium influx through L-VDCC.Journal of Hypertension 03/2010; 28(5):969-78.

Article: Contribution of neuronal nitric oxide (NO) synthase to N-acetylcysteine- induced increase of no synthase activity in the brain of normotensive and hypertensive rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The goal of our study was to determine a contribution of nNOS to the increase of brain NO synthase activity induced by chronic N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment. Young 4-week-old male Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were subjected to treatment with NAC (1.5 g/kg/day) for 8 weeks. At the end of experiment total NOS activity was determined in the brainstem and cerebellum with and without specific nNOS inhibitor S-methyl-L-thiocitrulline (SMTC, 10(-6) mol/l) by measuring the formation of L-[(3)H] citrulline from L-[(3)H] arginine. Chronic NAC treatment had no effect on blood pressure (BP) of WKY, while it attenuated BP increase in young SHR. Total NOS activity was increased in the brainstem of SHR compared to WKY, but this strain difference was abolished by SMTC. Chronic NAC treatment of SHR increased total NOS activity by 32% in the brainstem and by 67% in the cerebellum. After the incubation of brainstem and cerebellum with SMTC there were no significant differences in NOS activity of NAC-treated rats compared to strain-matched controls. Taken together, nNOS seems to be responsible for the increase of total NOS activity in the brain of SHR. SMTC inhibited 86% and 70% of NAC-induced increase of total NOS activity in the brainstem and cerebellum, respectively. Thus, nNOS is responsible not only for strain differences but also for NAC-induced increase of total NOS activity in the brain.Journal of physiology and pharmacology: an official journal of the Polish Physiological Society 12/2009; 60(4):21-5. · 2.39 Impact Factor

Article: The role of nitric oxide in the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema in spinal cord-injured rats: the effect of preventive interventions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is an acute life-threatening complication following an injury of the spinal cord or brain, which is associated with sympathetic hyperactivity. The role of nitric oxide (NO) in NPE development in rats subjected to balloon compression of the spinal cord has not yet been examined. We, therefore, pretreated Wistar rats with the NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) either acutely (just before the injury) or chronically (for 4 wk prior to the injury). Acute (but not chronic) L-NAME administration enhanced NPE severity in rats anesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane, leading to the death of 83% of the animals within 10 min after injury. Pretreatment with either the ganglionic blocker pentolinium (to reduce blood pressure rise) or the muscarinic receptor blocker atropine (to lessen heart rate decrease) prevented or attenuated NPE development in these rats. We did not observe any therapeutic effects of atropine administered 2 min after spinal cord compression. Our data indicate that NPE development is dependent upon a marked decrease of heart rate under the conditions of high blood pressure elicited by the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. These hemodynamic alterations are especially pronounced in rats subjected to acute NO synthase inhibition. In conclusion, nitric oxide has a partial protective effect on NPE development because it attenuates sympathetic vasoconstriction and consequent baroreflex-induced bradycardia following spinal cord injury.AJP Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology 09/2009; 297(4):R1111-7.

ABSTRACT: Neurogenic pulmonary edema is an acute life-threatening complication of central nervous system injury. We introduce a hypothesis that early i.v. administration of high-dose atropine can prevent neurogenic pulmonary edema development on the basis of the prevention of baroreflex-induced bradycardia, which was recognized as a major factor in neurogenic pulmonary edema formation. To validate this hypothesis, a clinical trial in patients suffering from subarachnoid haemorrhage should be performed, with atropine administered i.v. immediately after the maintenance of the living functions, intubation and ability to monitor patient.Medical Hypotheses 04/2009; 73(1):42-4.

Please note that Web Reporter only as useful as the data in the logs. Regarding bytes, there are 4 different values, but Web Reporter only has one inbound and one outbound byte values.
1) From client to proxy (bytes_from_client)
2) From proxy to the web server (bytes_to_server)
1) From web server to proxy (bytes_from_server)
2) From proxy to the client. (bytes_to_client)

If you are worried about possible data leakage then you are probably interested most in bytes_to_server. Keep in mind that if you block sites like bittorrent, (and assuming HTTP or SSL Scanner enabled if HTTPS), then you would not see any bytes_to_server, but there would be bytes_from_client. So hopefully this makes you think about which 2 values are most important to you. If you put all 4 values in your log file I don't know which 2 are used, but my guess would be first value (from left to right).
Once you have the byte values in the log, you just need to create a report with the appropriate byte value (caution: bytes = sum of inbound and outbound bytes). On the column properties tab of the query, sort bytes descending to push the largest values to the top.

Hello Sroering,
Thanks for explanations. At first, I didn't noticed the Web- Detailed combo in the query definition where I found the related bandwith items but bytes_to_server doesn't exist in Web reporter. So I decided to go with bytes_from_client as a starting point.
I modified log format on my Web gateway as example below :
#time_stamp "auth_user" src_ip status_code "req_line" "categories" "rep_level" "media_type" bytes_from_server bytes_from_client "user_agent" "virus_name" "block_res"

Both values are logged and are different. Bytes from server value is bigger than bytes from client value which seems logical for these requests. Everything seems all right on the gateway.
Web Reporter is configured with Mcafee web gateway - Auto Discover format and my report configured to show Bytes from client (sort by descending) and Bytes from Server. Everything seems right ont the web reporter but the resulting report is not persistent :
Bytes from client is 0 and Bytes from server equals Bytes (which should be sum of inbound and outbound bytes as you said).
Is the issue due to the fact that at first, the log format uploaded to web reporter was not the same format than now (with additional field bytes_from_client) ? Is there something wrong with my log format ?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,

I see bytes in the bytes_to_client field of your log, so you should see data in bytes_to_client for new data. Of course existing data would still be 0 as you mentioned. The log structure looks fine. If you made a mistake, the log job would fail, or would be successful with 100% error lines.
Is new data still showing 0 bytes_to_client?
4. Re: Reporting on top upload websites with Web Reportermcyp Jan 29, 2013 9:59 AM (in response to sroering)
Mmmm. There is something strange.
I generated a report with my query on whole today period. It gave me this :
I generated a report with custom dates, from today 4 PM (approximately 1 hour later than the new log format was configured on the gateway) to end of the day . It gave me this :
I generated a third report with custom dates from today 1:PM (starting before new log format) to end of day. It gave me this :
It seems obvious that there is an issue on automatic discover of log format from web reporter. The newest data with new log format is not taken in account at all. Should I need to define custom log format ? or rebuild a new database from scratch in web reporter ?
5. Re: Reporting on top upload websites with Web Reportersroering Jan 29, 2013 10:10 AM (in response to mcyp)
I would say that your newer logs are failing to import. As I said in my previous post, either the jobs are failing (usually due to problem with the header) or the status is "Successful" but with 100% of the lines as an error (problem with log lines not matching the header).
The auto-discover will work correctly but it depends on a good log format. Modifying the log format is very prone to making mistakes for even experienced people since there is no error checking.
6. Re: Reporting on top upload websites with Web Reportermcyp Jan 29, 2013 10:21 AM (in response to sroering)
So, should I better try to define a custom log format in web reporter so that my log format is imported correctly or try to define a log format on the gateway that would be correctly auto-discovered (putting quotes around bytes_from_client for example) ?
Thanks for your help.
7. Re: Reporting on top upload websites with Web Reportersroering Jan 29, 2013 10:31 AM (in response to mcyp)
The problem is not the auto-detect. Even custom log parser won't work if your log structure is not correct.
Find the problem with the access log structure per my suggestions above.
You should never use the custom log format. It does not handle block codes for Web Gateway.
8. Re: Reporting on top upload websites with Web Reportermcyp Feb 3, 2013 11:20 PM (in response to sroering)
In fact it was working. The lonly issue is that the logs were not uploaded realtime so when I generated the report the data were not available yet on the web reporter. Now it works fine.

'American Idol' finalist tweets that he's gone
Jermaine Jones is apparently out on "American Idol."
The 25-year-old vocal instructor from Pine Hill, N.J., tweeted Tuesday night that he would no longer be on the Fox singing contest. He wrote on his official "Idol" Twitter account: "Aht tp://www I will no longer b on the show," but the post was later deleted.
A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter or confirm his tweet.
The so-called "gentle giant" was among the show's viewer-selected top 13 finalists after the judges gave him a last-minute spot among the 11th season's top 13 male semifinalists.
He was among the bottom three vote-getters last week after performing Stevie Wonder's "Knocks Me Off My Feet" but advanced to the group of top 12 singers.
"Idol" contestants in the past have been asked or forced to leave when the show deems that their work or personal history is an issue.
Corey Clark was disqualified for concealing his arrest record during the second season in 2003. Frenchie Davis was also dropped from "Idol" that year because of her previous appearance on an adult website.
During the eighth season in 2009, Joanna Pacitti was shown advancing to the top 36 semifinalists after "Hollywood Week" but was later replaced. Pacitti released an album in 2006 and had ties to 19 Entertainment, which produces "Idol" with FremantleMedia North America.
Chris Golightly was dropped from the top 24 semifinalists in the ninth season in 2010 because he didn't disclose that he had a previous record contract.
In contrast, the singing competition allowed past finalists like the sixth season's Antonella Barba and the seventh season's David Hernandez to stay on after racy photos that appeared to be Barba leaked online. Hernandez was revealed as having once worked as a nightclub stripper.
Fox is a unit of News Corp.
