Health care 'navigators' to help patients
Community health care "navigators" at three Western Pennsylvania hospitals will work to improve quality of care, under a pilot program paid for by the Highmark Foundation.
The foundation will donate $254,500 to the program and team with consulting firm Accenture to train 16 people for St. Vincent Health System in Erie, Allegheny Valley Hospital in Natrona Heights, and a third undetermined hospital.
The navigators, who are not medical professionals, would help connect patients with primary care services. That can reduce no-shows for doctor appointments, decrease hospital admissions and cut unnecessary emergency department visits, the foundation said.
Allegheny and Erie counties need such services because some people have limited access to care, and county statistics show health disparities and low-income and racial or ethnic diversity within the patient population, the foundation said.
"Patient navigation not only creates a one-on-one connection for the patient, it serves as a low-cost investment that delivers significant value to care delivery," said Jean-Pierre Stephan, who leads health consumer and services strategy for Accenture.
The Highmark Foundation is the charitable arm of Highmark Inc., the state's largest health insurer, which has deals to buy St. Vincent Health System and West Penn Allegheny Health System, the owner of Allegheny Valley.

Hermain Cain Is Right
Why the candidate's reliance on the Chilean model makes sense.
4:00 PM, Sep 8, 2011 • By VICTORINO MATUS
I care about Social Security (even if I don't expect ever to collect it) and perked up during last night's debate when business entrepreneur Herman Cain offered his opinion on how to fix it: "I believe in the Chilean model, where you give a personal retirement account option so we can move this society from an entitlement society to an empowerment society." Sounds great, but how does it look on a chart or graph? So I took the next logical step and did a Google image search for "Chilean Model."
It turns out there are an impressive number of Chilean models out there, all of which seem to emphasize dramatic growth curves and a tendency toward inflation. Some of the models do have a competitive advantage over others but all seem to provide mounds of useful information. (That last link may not be safe for work!)

Photos: 5 reasons why the Mavericks will falter in 2012
Photo: Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
5) They're hamstrung by the future -- The Mavs love the idea of having enough salary cap space to buy a max-level free agent next summer. It was exhilarating to be part of that last summer, even though it ended up being a fruitless endeavor when Williams spurned them. They still want to have that flexibility next summer when Dwight Howard is on the market. Securing superstar talent in free agency remains the quickest route to regaining championship-contender status. In the meantime, that goal is going to make it difficult to improve the current roster. We don't want to say that what you see is what you're going to get for the next six months, but ...

Shawn, I like how Elliott Erwitt and Jay Maisel say the p-word...
Ben, for most these threads are likely just a way to pass a free moment or two when there's not enough time to actually go out and do real photography. I work from home. Software development. I keep APUG on a side monitor. When I get a free moment between debugging product build cycles I occasionally jump in with a drive-by post.
Like right now.
This weekend I'll be out with the 8x10, weather permitting. But I can't fit that in during the wait for a three-minute debugging build on a Friday afternoon while working.
These weekday afternoon threads are like all the Old Farts sitting around the porch at the General Store on a Saturday afternoon simply BSing to pass the time.
What Ken said. BTW, I say the P word better'n anybody.
I find this thread much more interesting than "what's the best time for trix in D76 at 24°?" When you listen to people talk about what they truly love, the way they say things matters almost as much as what they say..
Thanks Shawn
great thread shawn !
did you hear this yet ?
oodles of people saying it
i am not sure whose i like best
maybe ES or M-B-W :)
laszlo moholy nagy is pronounced in hungarian like "mo-hoy-neug"
moholy nagy is the godfather of modern graphic design and plastics work,
he did much more than make bauhaus perspective, and type+graphics-photographs and invent photograms ( simultaneously with manray ).

Wildcats' defense dominant in win over ValleyPublished 10:46am Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Benjamin Russell coach Danny Horn said that the Wildcats would need to establish the run while shutting down Valley's ground game in order to better their chances of victory.
In BRHS' 48-7 walloping of Valley, that's exactly what happened thanks to the 'Cats ability to take advantage of a short field.
The Wildcats (3-1, 3-0 in region) started things off by forcing a three and out on defense.
Despite coming up empty handed on their opening drive – Collin Sharpe pushed a 21-yard field goal wide – the Wildcats were able to assert themselves on the ground thanks to the legs of LaBrenikin Johnson and Bryant Horn.
Starting at the Rams' 39-yard line, the Wildcats needed five plays – all runs – to score. The game's opening touchdown came when B. Horn slashed up the middle for a 14-yard scoring run with 20 seconds left in the first quarter.
Valley (2-2, 2-1 in region) lost yardage on their next three plays, and a short punt set up BRHS at the Rams' 40-yard line.
B. Horn was able to keep the drive alive with a 32-yard pitch and catch to LaJarett Ford, who was able to outjump a defender for the ball.
After an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Valley put Benjamin Russell on the 3-yard line, Johnson punched it in for the touchdown and after the extra point, the game was 14-0 in favor of BRHS with 9:13 left in the second quarter.
Valley continued to struggle offensively, and Benjamin Russell continued to move the ball down the field, irregardless of the distance.
B. Horn capped the Wildcats' next drive – a seven-play, 93-yard drive – with a 28-yard scramble that made the game 21-0 with 3:39 left in the second quarter.
Sharpe nailed a 41-yard field goal later on to send the Wildcats into the intermission up 24-0.
The Wildcats opened up the third with a drive that resulted in a successful 39-yard field goal.
Valley then took over, but a false start penalty was followed by a fumbled snap, which BRHS' Tae Robinson pounced on to set the Wildcats up at the Rams' 14-yard line.
Three plays later, B. Horn found Dra Graham out of the backfield for a 8-yard touchdown toss, making the score 34-0 Wildcats.
The Wildcats' Diorte Russell ended the Rams' next drive with an interception, and Ellis Holloway later scored from three yards out to increase the Wildcats lead to 41.
The Rams finally got onto the board when Frankie Hutchinson hauled in a 55-yard pass for a touchdown, but the Wildcats answered when backup quarterback Tyre Gray hit Kenan Strong on a slant that Strong took 25 yards to paydirt.
Despite the margin of victory, D. Horn felt the team wasn't consistent to start the game.
"The first half, I didn't think we executed well," D. Horn said. "We had a lot of missed assignments, and people just didn't do what they were supposed to do. In the second half, I thought we played a lot better."
D. Horn added that he was impressed with the defense's performance.
"We did a good job of stopping the run," he said. "Other than giving up a couple of big passes, I think we've played good defense all year long. I think they're starting to gel."

It will shift manually or If I shut engine off and restart, it will upshift for one cycle but then wont down shift. I had a p1762 code and replaced govenor solenoid and sensor. For the first few runs it appeared to be ok. But after I did a hard acceleration it started acting up again. Currently I do not have any trouble codes.

RE: getting to Dipolog
Philippine Airlines has only one flight between Manila and Dipolog everyday. Best airline to Manila? If you mean from abroad, it depends on where you're coming from. As to rental cars (I assume you are referring in Manila), we also have companies like Budget and Dollar but unlike those in the US, the cars come with a driver. If you are new in Manila, believe me, you wouldn't want to drive on your own!

Army-Navy 30, Tri-City Christian 24
CARLSBAD Joey Naotaola scored on a 4-yard run with less than two minutes to play as Army-Navy Academy came from behind to close out its first undefeated regular season in 22 years with a 30-24 victory over Tri-City Christian Friday night at Carlsbad High.
Naotaola rushed for 199 yards and also scored on an 87-yard as Army-Navy (10-0, 5-0) rebounded from an 11-point deficit to win the Pacific League title against the two-time defending champs.
Timothy Mack had a big second half, rushing for all of his 90 yards after intermission. He scored on a 58-yard run at the end of the third quarter to pull the Warriors to 24-22.
"When we went into halftime we had our heads down," Mack said. "But we had to put them back up because we knew we could beat them. We were the better team and we proved it tonight."
Mack also had a big hit that jarred the ball loose leading to Korey Warren's interception that extinguished the last chance for Tri-City Christian (7-2, 4-0) with 1:16 to play.
Naotaola's game-winning score came with 1:57 to play and gave them their first lead since the middle of the first quarter.
Mike Luque rushed for 107 yards as Army-Navy rolled to 387 yards on the ground.

North Syracuse The village board of North Syracuse reluctantly hired legal counsel at its meeting Oct. 11 to defend itself from a lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The village, along with the towns of Clay and Cicero, hired Hancock and Estabrook LLP out of Syracuse in the event the trial takes place. Defense costs will be shared equally among the three municipalities. Both sides of the suit say they continue to hope some settlement take place, with the village of North Syracuse emphasizing that it has cooperated with the EEOC every step of the way.
The lawsuit surrounds allegations by the EEOC that the municipalities violated a federal age discrimination law by not giving credit to some older volunteer firefighters in its Length of Service Award Program (LOSAP), a pension-like program that allows firefighters to collect money based on their years of service to the department. The village acknowledged the mistake made years ago and has been working with the EEOC to fix the problem ever since.
"We've done nothing wrong," North Syracuse Mayor Mark Atkinson said. "We've cooperated with them. I don't understand it. I will go on to say that I actually had a meeting with Sen. [Charles] Schumer yesterday... Basically I said this was a complete waste of taxpayer funds. This is a ridiculous lawsuit. Based on what I told him, he didn't think it sounded right at all. We'll see what happens."
Trustee Gary Butterfield agreed with the mayor in opposing the suit.
"This is outrageous," he said. "I just can't believe that we're spending money to fight the federal government. In the strongest terms, I hope this board is united."
The board also took time Oct. 11 to okay the leasing of two new police cars. The existing fleet is comprised of five cars. The two oldest, one a 2007 model with 72,000 miles and the other a 2008 model with 80,000 miles, cost the village more than $13,000 to maintain last year. The entire fleet's maintenance costs were $18,000 in 2011.

Now painted chrome, this Ford GT-based sport coupe could be a logical step in Ford's image-car program. Although inspired by the Cobra Daytona coupe of the 60's, this design is by no means retro. Like the Cobra concept, it uses a V-10 engine. Could Ford be serious?

Celebrity weddings are awesome, I think. We get to sit around and ponder what stupid things they will do and then discuss what kind of freak show children they are going to be cranking out and do over/under bets on divorce dates. But B-list weddings are even more fun.
And when you combine a 30+ year old NHL player and a Playboy Playmate — who is more famous for being the sister of another playmate, well you certainly get B-List. The ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS (via RANDBALL) dresses up the story of Dan Hinote and Amy McCarthy getting married this past weekend. Well, that and Jim Carrey dressing up as Fidel Castro.
Yeah, "what the deuce?" is right.
Fidel Castro, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Groucho Marx all gathered at Keystone Ranch on Friday to witness the nuptials between former Avalanche- turned-St.-Louis-Blues player Dan Hinote and the ga-ga-gorgeous Amy McCarthy.The wedding ceremony itself, officiated by the "reverend" JW "Bear" Berrett, took place under threatening skies that released a few drops right before the event, but didn't spoil the outside ceremony plans.
The wedding party of 10 groomsmen and 10 bridesmaids wore traditional garb for the ceremony, but the guests were asked to show up in their favorite '50s costumes, which would explain the dead celebs who attended the wedding.
(Aside: I feel like the Kevin Frazier of the blog world right now.) But in all seriousness, that's a very bizarre set of instructions for a wedding party.
However, you gotta throw props toward Hinote for going wa-hay out of his league (IMHO) to pull in a McCarthy.

Daily Damage Defence Conditioning Spray
Customer ReviewsAdd review
17 Review(s)
Very Recommened By Megan Schnese
The deference spray has really helped my hair to lose a lot of its extra frizz and help tame excessive volume and waviness that I have struggled with for a very long time. I love the smell, it's not too strong but there is definitely a light fragrance to it. The spray is very lightweight and helps make styling hair easier. My hair, once I finish blow-drying, doesn't seem so frizzy any longer. I love this product. Posted on 2015-08-03
Daily Damage Defence By Maz
My hair is far less fluffy after using this. Before if I straightened my hair it would only last an hour or two at best, but using this, it lasts almost all day even in humid conditions. It also seems much better at preventing split ends.
Another brilliant product from PK! Posted on 2015-07-12
DAILY DAMAGE DEFENCE CONDITIONING SPRAY By Lesley Fingerhut

I am very happy with this product and will be purchasing it again!! Posted on 2015-06-12

Had this recommended by the hairdresser and fell in love! Posted on 2015-05-28
daily damage defence By Becky
I put off buying this as some reviews have said it's too heavy for fine hair and left it sticky !! I've been using it every time i wash my hair for the past two weeks and i can honestly say it doesn't weigh my hair down or leave any residue. My hair feels smooth and strong so i'm pleased i bought it :) i have been using pk products for about 6 months now and my hair condition has improved massively! Posted on 2015-05-05

Senators Call for Investigation Into 'Zero Dark Thirty' Sources
Senators Call for Investigation Into 'Zero Dark Thirty' Sources
The furor over the depiction of CIA-sponsored torture in "Zero Dark Thirty" continued to heat up Thursday, with three members of the Senate Intelligence Committee demanding that the CIA release details about how techniques like waterboarding and sleep deprivation were used to uncover information that helped lead to the killing of Osama bin Laden. The senators also said they are seeking details about contacts between the film's creative team and the U.S. government.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) released two letters Thursday that they have sent to Acting CIA Director Michael Morell regarding the agency's efforts to aid the filmmakers behind the Oscar-contender and its use of torture.
"The CIA cannot be held accountable for how the Agency and its activities are portrayed in film, but we are nonetheless concerned, given the CIA's cooperation with the filmmakers and the narrative's consistency with past public misstatements by former senior CIA officials, that the filmmakers could have been misled by information they were provided by the CIA," a letter from the three senators to Morell, dated Dec. 19, reads.
Also read: Dianne Feinstein, John McCain, Carl Levin Slam 'Zero Dark Thirty' for Torture Scene
However, the senators pressed for more specifics after Morell released a public statement to CIA employees two days later. In that statement, he said "enhanced interrogation techniques" were one of the methods employed to capture the terrorist leader. In a letter dated Dec. 31, Feinstein, McCain and Levin demand more information about what intelligence was gathered from these methods.
"In regards to the Bin Laden operation, what information was acquired from CIA detainees subjected to enhanced interrogation techniques?" the letter reads. "When was this information provided: prior to, during, or after the detainee was subjected to the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques? If after, how long after? Please note whether such information corroborated information previously known to the CIA."
Feinstein, McCain and Levin also complained to Sony Pictures that "Zero Dark Thirty" presented a distorted and fictionalized version of the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
Also read: 'Zero Dark Thirty' Steps Into the Line of Fire, Answers Critics
Their remarks came in a scathing letter to Sony Pictures chairman and CEO Michael Lynton that was made public on Dec. 19, the same day the three senators sent their first request for information to the CIA.
"We write to express our deep disappointment with the movie 'Zero Dark Thirty,'" the letter begins. "We believe the film is grossly inaccurate and misleading in its suggestion that torture resulted in information that led to the location of Usama bin Laden."
The lawmakers have now changed their tack and want to know who in the CIA and the Pentagon gave information to director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal – a change from "it's untrue" to "who gave them that information?" to "what parts are accurate?" that are unlikely to go unnoticed by the film's defenders.
The committee is examining records of the contacts between CIA officials and Bigelow and Boal, but it does not plan to contact the filmmakers themselves, according to an individual with knowledge of its workings. Reuters first reported that an investigation would be launched into the agency's cooperation with the filmmakers.

» Bel Fuse Inc. Q3 2008 Earnings Call Transcript
As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. I would now like to introduce your host for today conference Mr. Dan Bernstein. Please go ahead, sir.
Dan Bernstein
Thank you, Charlotte. I would like to welcome you to our conference call to review Bel's Unaudited Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2013 Results. Before we start, I'd like to hand over to Colin Dunn, our Vice President of Finance. Colin?
Colin Dunn
Thanks Dan. Good morning, everybody. Before we begin, I would like to read the following Safe Harbor statements. Except for historical information discussed in this call the matters discussed in this call including the statements regarding reduce lead times, Bel's ability to offset the increase in labor -- direct labor cost in China, the impact of Bel's new R&D center will have on Bel's product cycle and on Bel's response time to customers and Bel's acquisition plans are forward-looking statement that involve risks and uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from Bel's projections. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statement are the market concerns facing our customers, the continue availability of sectors that rely on products, the effects of business and economic conditions, difficulties associate with integrating recently acquired companies, capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, product development, commercialization of technological difficulties, the regulatory and trade environment, risk associated with foreign currencies, uncertainties associated with legal proceedings, the market acceptance of the company new products and competitive responses to those new products and the risk factors detailed from time to time in the company's SEC reports.
In light of the risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will in fact prove to be correct. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. That's the end of the Safe Harbor statement.
Results of the transformer and magnetic business of TE now known as TRP Connector acquired in late March 2013 and the Array Connector Corporation acquired in August 2013 have been included in our consolidated results since their respective acquisition dates. In my discussion I will attempt to noteworthy inclusion of these acquired companies account for significant variance from prior periods.
First, we will start with sales. Fourth quarter 2013 sales were $91 million, which is the new fourth quarter record for Bell, including $18.8 million of sales of TRP Connector products. Sales were up 26.8%, compared to $71.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and down 10% from $101.2 million that we reported for the third quarter of this year.
Fourth quarter 2013 sales in all four major product groups were as follows, Magnetics, $47.2 million, which is up 75% over the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to the addition of sales from TRP Connector products.
Interconnect, $28.5 million, an increase of 8.6% over last year's fourth quarter. Fourth quarter 2013 interconnect sales included $1.3 million of sales of Array Connector products.
Circuit protection $2.4 million, a decrease of 6.4% from the prior fourth quarter and modules $12.9 million which is 19.2% lower than sales in the fourth quarter of 2012. As we've discussed over the past several quarters, the modules product group continues to be affected by a decrease in the level of sales activity of our major customer.
Turning to cost of sales and net results, in Q4 2013 cost of sales as percentage of sales was 80.3% down from the 84.2% in Q4 of 2012. Several factors contributed to this, the company implemented price increases during the latter half of 2013, which have helped to offset some of the rising labor costs in China. There was favorable shift in the mix of products sold away from higher material cost modules products towards Bel's other low material cost products.
During the fourth quarter of 2012 the company incurred redundant operating costs since we started the transition since manufacturing from Vinita, Oklahoma to a new factory in McAllen, Texas. This new McAllen plant is now running a pre-transition efficiency levels and lower sales volume overall were doing increase throughput which continue to improve overhead absorption at our factories.
SG&A, selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months period ended December 31, 2013 decreased by $400,000 in comparison with the same period of 2012. SG&A as a percentage of sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 11.9%, down from the 15.6% of sales during the fourth quarter last year.
The inclusion of SG&A expenses related to TRP and Array both acquired in 2013 amounted to $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. This additional cost were more than offset by a reduction in acquisition costs, legal and professional fees and other wage and print related items as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.
Taxes, Bel recorded income tax benefit of $400,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to an income tax benefit of $700,000 with the three months ended December 31, 2012. Included in income tax benefit in Q4, 2013, our credits from our previously announced Solar Project at our Inwood, New York signal manufacturing facility and research and development tax credits related to USA manufacturing.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral endothelial cells (CECs) forming the BBB (blood-brain barrier) are at the interface of the immune and the central nervous systems and thus may play an important role in the functional integration of the two systems. Here we investigated how CECs recognize and respond to pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns in order to regulate the functions of the neurovascular unit. First we detected the expression of several NOD-like receptors (NLRs) - including NOD1, NOD2, NLRC4, NLRC5, NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRP5, NLRP9, NLRP10, NLRP12, NLRA and NLRX - in human brain endothelial cells. Inflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-1β had stimulatory effects on the transcription of many of these receptors. Expression of key inflammasome components (NOD2, NLRP3 and caspase-1) along with caspase-cleaved interleukins IL-1β and IL-33 could be induced by priming with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and activation with muramyl dipeptide (MDP). In addition, combined treatment with LPS and MDP resulted in IL-1β secretion in a caspase- and ERK1/2 kinase-dependent manner. Our findings demonstrate that NLRs and inflammasomes can be activated in cerebral endothelial cells, which may confer an unexplored role to the BBB in neuroimmune and neuroinflammatory processes.

Article: Evaluation of Lignans from Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra for Their Potential Antimetastatic Effects in the Brain[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two new arylbenzofuran-type neolignans, 1″-dehydroegonol 3″-methyl ether (1) and egonol 3″-methyl ether (2), and four known lignan derivatives, namely, helioxanthin (3), (7E)-7,8-dehydroheliobuphthalmin (4), heliobuphthalmin (5), and 7-acetoxyhinokinin (6), were isolated from a chloroform-soluble partition of the methanol extract of the fresh roots of Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra. These six compounds were evaluated in vitro in terms of their ability to inhibit the various steps involved in brain tumor metastasis formation. Compounds 3 and 4 inhibited the migration of both melanoma and brain endothelial cells, and 3 also reduced the adhesion of melanoma cells to the brain endothelium. Furthermore, 3 and 4 additionally enhanced the barrier function of the blood-brain barrier and the expression of the tight junction protein ZO-1 at the junctions of the endothelial cells. These findings suggest that 3 and 4 may have the potential to interfere with different steps of brain metastasis formation and to enhance the barrier function of cerebral endothelial cells.Journal of Natural Products 12/2014; 77(12).

Article: CB2 Receptor Activation Inhibits Melanoma Cell Transmigration through the Blood-Brain Barrier[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: During parenchymal brain metastasis formation tumor cells need to migrate through cerebral endothelial cells, which form the morphological basis of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The mechanisms of extravasation of tumor cells are highly uncharacterized, but in some aspects recapitulate the diapedesis of leukocytes. Extravasation of leukocytes through the BBB is decreased by the activation of type 2 cannabinoid receptors (CB2); therefore, in the present study we sought to investigate the role of CB2 receptors in the interaction of melanoma cells with the brain endothelium. First, we identified the presence of CB1, CB2(A), GPR18 (transcriptional variant 1) and GPR55 receptors in brain endothelial cells, while melanoma cells expressed CB1, CB2(A), GPR18 (transcriptional variants 1 and 2), GPR55 and GPR119. We observed that activation of CB2 receptors with JWH-133 reduced the adhesion of melanoma cells to the layer of brain endothelial cells. JWH-133 decreased the transendothelial migration rate of melanoma cells as well. Our results suggest that changes induced in endothelial cells are critical in the mediation of the effect of CB2 agonists. Our data identify CB2 as a potential target in reducing the number of brain metastastes originating from melanoma.International Journal of Molecular Sciences 05/2014; 15(5):8063-74.

Article: Role of Rho/ROCK signaling in the interaction of melanoma cells with the blood-brain barrier[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have investigated the role of the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway in the interaction of metastatic melanoma cells with the brain endothelium. ROCK inhibition induced a shift of melanoma cells to the mesenchymal phenotype, increased the number of melanoma cells attached to the brain endothelium, and strengthened the adhesion force between melanoma and endothelial cells. Inhibition of ROCK raised the number of melanoma cells migrating through the brain endothelial monolayer and promoted the formation of parenchymal brain metastases in vivo. We have shown that inhibition of the Rho/ROCK pathway in melanoma, but not in brain endothelial cells, is responsible for this phenomenon. Our results indicate that the mesenchymal type of tumor cell movement is primordial in the transmigration of melanoma cells through the blood-brain barrier.Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research 09/2013; 27(1).

ABSTRACT: The majority of brain metastases originate from lung cancer, breast cancer and malignant melanoma. In order to reach the brain, parenchyma metastatic cells have to transmigrate through the endothelial cell layer of brain capillaries, which forms the morphological basis of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB has a dual role in brain metastasis formation: it forms a tight barrier protecting the central nervous system from entering cancer cells, but it is also actively involved in protecting metastatic cells during extravasation and proliferation in the brain. The mechanisms of interaction of cancer cells and cerebral endothelial cells are largely uncharacterized. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on our current knowledge about the role of junctional and adhesion molecules, soluble factors, proteolytic enzymes and signaling pathways mediating the attachment of tumor cells to brain endothelial cells and the transendothelial migration of metastatic cells. Since brain metastases represent a great therapeutic challenge, it is indispensable to understand the mechanisms of the interaction of tumor cells with the BBB in order to find targets of prevention of brain metastasis formation.International Journal of Molecular Sciences 01/2013; 14(1):1383-411.

Article: Activation of Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Attenuates Leukocyte-Endothelial Cell Interactions and Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction under Inflammatory Conditions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previous studies have shown that modulation of the receptor-mediated cannabinoid system during neuroinflammation can produce potent neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. However, in this context, little is known about how selective activation of the cannabinoid type-2 receptor (CB2R) affects the activated state of the brain endothelium and blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. Using human brain tissues and primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs), we demonstrate that the CB2R is highly upregulated during inflammatory insult. We then examined whether the CB2R agonists could attenuate inflammatory responses at the BBB using a mouse model of LPS-induced encephalitis and highly selective CB2R agonists. Visualization by intravital microscopy revealed that administration of JWH133 [(6aR,10aR)-3-(1,1-dimethylbutyl)-6a,7,10,10a-tetrahydro-6,6,9-trimethyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran] or a novel resorcinol-based compound, O-1966 (1-[4-(1,1-dimethyl-heptyl)-2,6-dimethoxy-phenyl]-3-methyl-cyclohexanol), greatly attenuated leukocyte adhesion in surface pial vessels and in deep ascending cortical postcapillary venules. BBB permeability assessments with small and large fluorescent tracers showed that CB2R agonists were effective at preventing barrier leakiness after LPS administration. To determine whether the effects by CB2R agonists on barrier protection are not only due to the CB2R modulation of immune cell function, we tested the agonists in vitro with barrier-forming primary BMVECs. Remarkably, the addition of CB2R agonist increased transendothelial electrical resistance and increased the amount of tight junction protein present in membrane fractions. Furthermore, CB2R agonists decreased the induction of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 surface expression in BMVECs exposed to various proinflammatory mediators. Together, these results suggest that pharmacological CB2R ligands offer a new strategy for BBB protection during neuroinflammation.The Journal of Neuroscience : The Official Journal of the Society for Neuroscience 03/2012; 32(12):4004-16.

Article: Transmigration of Melanoma Cells through the Blood-Brain Barrier: Role of Endothelial Tight Junctions and Melanoma-Released Serine Proteases[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Malignant melanoma represents the third common cause of brain metastasis, having the highest propensity to metastasize to the brain of all primary neoplasms in adults. Since the central nervous system lacks a lymphatic system, the only possibility for melanoma cells to reach the brain is via the blood stream and the blood-brain barrier. Despite the great clinical importance, mechanisms of transmigration of melanoma cells through the blood-brain barrier are incompletely understood. In order to investigate this question we have used an in vitro experimental setup based on the culture of cerebral endothelial cells (CECs) and the A2058 and B16/F10 melanoma cell lines, respectively. Melanoma cells were able to adhere to confluent brain endothelial cells, a process followed by elimination of protrusions and transmigration from the luminal to the basolateral side of the endothelial monolayers. The transmigration process of certain cells was accelerated when they were able to use the routes preformed by previously transmigrated melanoma cells. After migrating through the endothelial monolayer several melanoma cells continued their movement beneath the endothelial cell layer. Melanoma cells coming in contact with brain endothelial cells disrupted the tight and adherens junctions of CECs and used (at least partially) the paracellular transmigration pathway. During this process melanoma cells produced and released large amounts of proteolytic enzymes, mainly gelatinolytic serine proteases, including seprase. The serine protease inhibitor Pefabloc® was able to decrease to 44-55% the number of melanoma cells migrating through CECs. Our results suggest that release of serine proteases by melanoma cells and disintegration of the interendothelial junctional complex are main steps in the formation of brain metastases in malignant melanoma.PLoS ONE 06/2011; 6(6):e20758.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral endothelial cells - the principal components of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) - fulfill several important functions in the central nervous system (CNS). They form an active interface between blood and neuronal tissue and play a key role in the maintenance of the homeostasis of the CNS. Infections caused by different pathogens are often associated with systemic symptoms and may compromise the functional integrity of the BBB as well. In the mediation of the systemic effect of pathogens Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a significant role. TLRs are a type of pattern recognition receptor and recognize molecules that are broadly shared by pathogens but distinguishable from host molecules. TLRs are broadly distributed on cells of the immune system and function as primary sensors of invading pathogens. There is also growing experimental evidence indicating that Toll-like receptors are expressed on different non-immune cell types as well, like epithelial or endothelial cells. Here we demonstrate the expression of TLR2, TLR3, TLR4 and TLR6 on rat and human cerebral endothelial cells. Oxidative stress significantly upregulated the expression of these receptors whereas TNF-alpha upregulated the expression of TLR2 and TLR3. Furthermore we have shown, that activation of TLR2/6 leads to an increased permeability which is accompanied by a downregulation of occludin and claudin-5 expression and disappearance of these tight junction proteins from the cell membrane. Changes in occludin expression and localization could be inhibited by the ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126. Our results suggest a significant role of the cerebral endothelium in mediation of the neural effects of different inflammatory processes.Neurochemistry International 11/2010; 57(5):556-64.

Call of Duty ELiTE will slowly faze out in early 2014. Support for games like Black Ops, Black Ops II and Modern Warfare 3 will gradually disappear (player/clan stats, level, challenges, operations...).
The new Call of Duty ELiTE will be called Call of Duty (App) and it will be mostly an app only available on smartphones, tablets and in the game. It's now fully integrated within the game and one will be able to do anything he wants from the game (create/join/manage a clan...).
Re: Ghosts and EliteComos719 Nov 5, 2013 6:56 PM (in response to mazematik)
uhmm I can't manage the clan in the game. Also We can't play any clan wars. Not everyone has smart phones compatible with the app. I have an S4 and the app is not compatible. Right now many are left in the dark. I can't manage my clan. It's not fully integrated.
Re: Ghosts and Elitemazematik Nov 5, 2013 7:02 PM (in response to Comos719)
I'm in the same situation... I have an Android Samsung Galaxy and the Call of Duty App is not supported by my device.
The in-game clan section won't let me do anything except giving me basic info such as my clan level and member count.
I guess it will get fully integrated and working via a future patch but I when... I don't know.
Re: Ghosts and EliteFlipeAlmeidA Nov 8, 2013 2:34 AM (in response to Comos719)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and works.
Re: Ghosts and EliteLifeSong1 Nov 8, 2013 5:06 AM (in response to Comos719)
Clan wars is not available till 11/25.
Re: Ghosts and EliteRatel_Slang Nov 5, 2013 9:34 PM (in response to mazematik)
Seriously ??.. Nothing PC based like the current ELITE to work on ??!! That sucks as I spend a lot of time on my PC the next day analyzing games, looking at stats and managing the clan. Now if I don't have a compatible phone or tablet.. I'm stuffed.. Well that's just great..
Re: Ghosts and Elitemazematik Nov 6, 2013 2:59 PM (in response to Ratel_Slang)
Unfortunately, Beachhead has no plans for a website version of the Call of Duty App (at least not for now).
So the only way to manage your clan and view stats is through the mobile app but not all devices are compatible with it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus that is not supported by the app BUT I successfully installed the app by downloading the .APK file and it works great!
Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7CMRbyQIYe2Ry1oMUo1cEx1S3c/edit?usp=drive_web
It's not as good and easy to use than the ELiTE website is but you can still manage your clan even edit its emblem but it's akward and very long (edit layers, size, rotate...)
Good luck!
Re: Ghosts and EliteLifeSong1 Nov 6, 2013 4:08 PM (in response to jlsmith6895)
There are a number of reasons why they didn't just upgrade Elite. For one they freed up all the clan names they were not being used anymore. Secondly they made it where all PlayStation and Xbox clans are now all under one system and thus they had to separate it in order to avoid naming conflicts.
As for those of you having issues with the app especially on Android you can sideload the APK file which installs the app without using the Play Store. If it works you will be able to use the application. If not you will likely need to use an Android emulator. See number 2 in the thread below:

I'm aware of these reasons and I understand/respect them BUT they should allow clans to keep their past progress in MW3 and BO2 shown in ELiTE.
As the new Call of Duty App expands, it will replace Call of Duty ELiTE and this one will slowly faze out during 2014 taking away everything a lot of clans like mine achieved and unlocked (clan level, unlocks, awards, stats...).
THIS is unfair and not respectful towards loyal fans like me, my teamates and all the clans who worked as hard as we did since MW3. A lot of us bought the ELiTE Founder membership, the Premium membership (required in order to participate in challenges and operations), Season-Pass, DLCs...
This is one of the biggest letdown I've seen in many years...

Let me make you a shameless plug. My site allows you to track your past progress (MW3, BO2) as well as your new progress in Ghosts (still working out the details on tracking XP). http://www.codcp.com
I understand your frustration (I have experienced it as well) and it is frustrating though I can see it from their standpoint as well.
Re: Ghosts and Eliterealjoker Nov 7, 2013 5:33 AM (in response to LifeSong1)
Am sorry but some one else needs to run activision and infinity ward. So they would rather have a phone app and not a website. What the hell are these people thinking. No one is going to waste their time on the phone to play with some silly call of duty app.
When gamers play, they mostly have their pc or laptop next to them with their tv and their console. We can play games while also on the pc and laptop aswell. And we don't even have to drop the controller. So why would we make our life more complicated by using our mobile phone.
Why can't they also build on the elite, it already has a ps3 app. build on it. Who makes these decisions, some bunch of old men who don't even play console game and if they do they only play for 10 minutes. How can they understand what we want?
Thank God for Titan Fall because it seems like only the original call of duty developers understand creativity and what gamers need. Is Titan Fall a call of duty killer? HELL YES.
Activision and infinity ward, feel free to keep pissing us off, the same way everyone ran from Xbox one to the PS4 will be the same way we will all run to Titan Fall.
Re: Ghosts and EliteBavaral Nov 7, 2013 7:29 AM (in response to realjoker)
I have to agree. Completely boggles me that they would move away from Elite. Really disappointed in this decision. They just threw a huge contributor to loyalty out of the window that some stupid phone app will never replace. Will definitely give Titan Fall a try.

Keep up the good work then! You should be rewarded for what you've done. The community owe you one for this precious website with so much potential... I can't believe the people at Beachhead are getting paid while you're doing such a better job on your own free time!

To stay healthy, I mix in a blender two fruits, two veggies, or even five sometimes, pinto beans (protein), one egg (protein), a sugar substitute, and greens. This makes about 2 cups. Instead of worrying all day how I'm going to get all my nutrients from all my meals, I drink only this one drink, then the rest of the day, I eat one or two small meals.
I often eat half a serving of both protein and carbs with a regular size serving of veggies AND then I add at least two or three servings of veggies for my meals only. Most of the time the veggies I add consist of salad greens without dressing. I love he taste of plain old salad greens with my meals. For snacks I eat fruit and some kind of protein. Of course, I drink a lot of water every day, too.
Thats the secret to weight loss. The Full Court Press!. Not a fan of basketball? Look it up, it'll give your something to do when you're not eating.
That once upon a time regular routine, that was SUCCESSFUL, slipped away. TIME TO MAKE THE CHANGE! FOR MYSELF, this is going to involve starting my day with at least 32 oz of water, 2-3 cups of coffee, & a PROTEIN DRINK. Lunch will be light but healthy: example 2-3 eggs, another protein drink, and steamed veggies. Afternoon snack: possibly a rice cake or two with polinar all fruit jelly, & supper another protein drink, with home made veggie stew. 224

Harry Welch leaves enormous mark in prep football
With Welch's final season underway, the Santa Margarita coach still strives for excellence.
By RAHSHAUN HAYLOCK FS West
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. -- After packing up and leaving Canyon High School as one of the best quarterbacks the school had ever produced, Ken Sollom took off for the University of Michigan to play for the late Bo Schembechler.
Sollom was asked if he'd be OK leaving Southern California to play for the legendary Michigan coach who'd developed a reputation for being tough on players. Would Sollom be able to handle it?
"Oh yes," Sollom responded. "This will be easy. I played for Harry Welch."
It's one of the many stories the now fourth year Santa Margarita head coach likes to tell.
Santa Margarita hosts Bishop Gorman of Las Vegas tonight at 7 p.m. on Prime Ticket.
Former Los Angeles Raider Odis McKinney once told the Los Angeles Times Welch was "the Vince Lombardi of the Valley."
"I worked harder under Welch than I worked with the Raiders," McKinney said.
Welch coached McKinney during his time as an assistant at LA Valley College. It's fitting McKinney used the Lombardi analogy considering the Packers legend is one of the coaches Welch admires the most.
And Welch's numbers speak for themselves. Now in his 25th season as a head coach at the high school level, Welch is the owner of a 46-game winning streak and a 43-game winning streak. He's won nine CIF Southern Section titles, including four in a row from 2006-2009.
He is the only coach in California prep history to win a state championship at three different schools -- at Canyon (2005), St. Margaret's (2008), and his current stop Santa Margarita (2011).
The 68-year-old says 2013 will be his last as a head coach. He's willingly stepping down leaving all of his gridiron accolades behind.
His recipe for success, however, is one that has become tougher and tougher to emulate through the years.
Neither Canyon nor St. Margaret's have won a CIF title since Welch's departure. People inside the Santa Margarita program say Welch came in and changed the culture.
The head coach admits he's never paid much attention to that observation.
However, he admits to being a "strenuous taskmaster" with his assistant coaches, student managers, and players while subscribing to the Lombardi philosophy that perfection cannot be obtained but excellence can be achieved.
With that belief he's tried to squeeze excellence out of the thousands of players he's coached throughout his illustrious career.
"I'm just me and I try to be me every day and I ask my players and members of my staff and wonderful managers to be them every day and to be them at their very best and to strive for excellence," Welch said.
Such excellence has been obtained in many facets of life beyond the gridiron for some of Welch's former pupils.
It's not the All-CIF players or coach of the year awards, CIF titles or state bowls that Welch takes the most pride in. He finds extreme pleasure in the phone calls, emails, and messages he receives from those he once coached, who give him credit for strides they've made in the United States Service Academies.
"In my own little way that's the legacy that I would like," Welch said. "To have people go through my program and be better citizens, be better husbands and wives, friends, parents and contributors to society."

Q: How old are the Marines in Iraq?
A:They're pretty young - in fact, the Marine Corps is demographically the youngest of all the military services. Almost 70 percent of Marines in the enlisted ranks - that is, non-officers - are under 25 years of age. One of every four enlisted Marines is under age 21, which means they're old enough to fight in a war but too young to legally drink a beer. Less than one percent of enlisted Marines are "geezers" of age 45 and over.
The age demographics skew even younger in the more physically demanding combat arms - infantry, armor and artillery. For example, Cpl. Albert Hutchinson of Louisville, Ky., is accustomed to being called "grandpa" or "the old guy" by his fellow Marines in the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance battalion in western Iraq. Cpl. Hutchinson is 27 years old.
Q: Where does the U.S. military in Iraq get Arabic translators? How much are they paid? Is it dangerous?
A: The U.S. military has some Arabic speakers in the ranks, and many Marines make an effort to learn the rudiments of the language - "Hello," "What's your name?" "Where are you going?" and so on. But most of the interpreters (or "terps," as the Marines call them) are civilians -- either American citizens or U.S. residents of Middle Eastern background, or, more commonly, local Iraqis. More than 4,000 interpreters in Iraq work for a company called Titan, a subsidiary of a defense contractor called L-3 Communications.
How much they're paid depends on their background and language skills. While in Iraq I met several translators, including "Mike," an Iraqi native who moved to the U.S. 20 years ago and speaks perfect English, and "Diana," an Algerian-born, European-educated woman who lives in Minneapolis and is fluent in several languages, Arabic and English included. Interpreters like them can earn anywhere from $65,000 to $100,000 a year.
At the other end of the spectrum are guys like "Tim," a 27-year-old from southern Iraq whose Arabic was probably OK - as a non-Arabic speaker it was hard for me to tell - but whose English was fractured at best. Terps like Tim, who accompany Marines on patrols, are paid about $1,000 a month - which is pretty good money by Iraq standards, and about double what Iraqi soldiers or police earn.
But it's also dangerous work. According to press reports, about 200 interpreters who worked with the U.S. occupation forces have been killed in Iraq, many of them targeted and murdered by insurgents, others in the course of combat operations. Some civilian interpreters carry weapons for their own protection, and some wear masks to avoid being identified.
