This fall Joie and I – and anyone who wants to join us, hint hint for those living in Lincoln – are going to be doing our first annual Friday Night Lights Tour of Southeastern Nebraska. Almost every week we're going to pick a high-school football game happening in a small town within an hour or two of Lincoln and we'll go to that town, eat dinner at a local restaurant and go to the game. The idea behind this came from watching the phenomenal TV show Friday Night Lights. Basically, the idea is that small town community is a beautiful thing that is often demeaned or mocked by city dwellers. And yet in a state like Nebraska, our small towns are our lifeblood. The reason we didn't go belly up in 2008 – we just fell and broke a leg, so to speak – is because our state's agricultural base held and the rest of the economy lived off of that. So Joie and I want to be in more regular contact with the state's small towns and we want to commend that way of life as beautiful, necessary, and profoundly healthy. So we're going to make these Friday night trips a regular part of our week. If you live in Lincoln, please join us. I'm going to post a list of where we've been and where we're going below, so you can meet us out there or you can comment below and we can get in touch that way. My dream scenario for this would be to see a sizable number of Lincolnites joining us on the tour.
Last week, Joie and I went to Crete, a small town of 6,000 that's about 30 minutes southwest of Lincoln. It's a farming community, like most of small town Nebraska, but Doane College, a small liberal arts college, is also located in town, which means there's a small student population as well. We came into town off Highway 33 and found Gladys on Main Avenue, a small Mexican restaurant owned by a family that settled down in Crete about five years ago. How do I know they arrived five years ago? Well, the owner came over and talked with Joie and I for about 20 minutes while our food was being prepared. He spoke a little English, we spoke a little Spanish, so we had a delightfully-bilingual conversation where each of us routinely had to ask "what is the word for ______?" or "como se dice _____?" The man has family in Mexico, all in Chihuahua, and has worked at farms in Idaho and California, near Reno. A few years ago he settled down in Crete and has found that he quite likes it there. It's a good arrangement because we quite liked his food. Joie had a chicken taco (she'd been sick for the past week so didn't want to try anything too spicy) and I had a pork pambosa, which is a torta (a Mexican sandwich served on telera bread) where the bread has been covered in salsa and a chicken tamale.
From there, we arrived at the game and sat down in the Waverly section with some of the parents. (The quarterback's grandmother was sitting just behind us.) The first half was tense, with the team's trading touchdowns. Crete's running back was an absolute beast – he finished the game with five rushing touchdowns. He also spearheaded the defense as their middle linebacker. Waverly got a bit lucky in the first half as they tied the game at 14 on a 4th and 7 completion where the ball was tipped by a defender who should've intercepted it and then fell into the hands of a Waverly player who ran untouched into the end zone.
In the coming weeks, I'm hoping to write a bit more about the tour, why we're doing it, what the towns we go to are like, maybe talk to a few people at the games about it too. But last week was a bit rushed because we left home late and the weekend has felt rather full, so I regrettably don't have time to say more about this stop. But there is more to say. And hopefully I'll be able to start saying it a week from today. For now, enjoy the photos below and check out the schedule to see if you can join us.
Schedule with the length of the drive from Lincoln:
Week 1 – Crete, NE
Week 2 (Sept. 7) – Syracuse, NE (45 minutes)
Week 3 (Sept. 14) – Fairbury, NE (1 hour, 20 minutes)
Week 4 (Sept. 21) – Doniphan, NE (90 minutes)
Week 5 (Sept. 28) – BREAK
Week 6 (Oct. 5) – Pawnee City, NE (90 minute)
Week 7 (Oct. 12) – Humphrey, NE (2 hours, but it's the best rivalry game in Class D football so it should be worth it)
Week 8 (Oct. 19) – Wahoo, NE (40 minutes)

Underwood to play Maria von Trapp in NBC's 'Sound'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Carrie Underwood will star in NBC's live broadcast of "The Sound of Music" late next year.
A news release says the former "American Idol" champion and Grammy-winning country star will play Maria von Trapp in a live performance based on the musical. It will air around the holidays in 2013.
The role is Underwood's most significant work as an actress yet. She played a small part in the 2011 film "Soul Surfer" and has served as co-host of the Country Music Association Awards for five years.
In von Trapp, she's tackling a beloved character whose popularity has endured for decades. The Rodgers & Hammerstein musical debuted on Broadway in 1959 and the 1965 film starring Julie Andrews won the best picture Academy Award.

Post-Game: That's Why They Call It the Blues
Ryan Pike
February 15 2013 10:20PM
Fresh off a wild and wooly 7-4 win over the surging Dallas Stars, your Calgary Flames hoped to continue that momentum against the St. Louis Blues. Unfortunately, a tremendously bad (and one-sided) first 25 minutes of the hockey game sunk that plan.
On the night after Valentine's Day, the Flames got lit up in the first period – with two goals apiece spoiling both the start of Leland Irving and the debut of Joey "MacBackup" MacDonald. The club got their feet moving and their mojo working in the second and third periods, but just could not bury the biscuit and fell by a 5-2 score.
FGD: No More Blues in St. Louis
Kent Wilson
February 15 2013 03:35PM
It has been a long, laborious rebuild in St. Louis over the years. For a long time, they resembled one of those clubs who is always lousy, always picks high, but never seems to get anywhere (*cough* Islanders and Oilers *cough*).
Until a couple years ago. All of sudden, the Blues hit a sort of critical mass of quality players and things started to click. David Backes emerged as a Selke quality center. He's joined by David Perron, Patrik Berglund, Andy McDonald, TJ Oshie, Alex Steen and Alexander Tarasenko up front these days, backed by a blueline featuring quality kids like Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk.
As you can see, there aren't any established superstars on the Blues roster (maybe in the future), but what they do boast is line after line of quality, effective skaters. The Blues can shut you down in waves, as evidenced by their league leading shot against/game average (21.9). The only other team even in spitting distance of the Blues by that measure is the Kings (24.9). No one else allows less than 25 shots per game.
That's Enough, Barbara
February 15 2013 01:09PM
There's a lot of ground to cover today, what with tonight's matchup between the Flames and Blues, Roman Horak being recalled, the idiotic drivel belched out by Rhett Warrener about Jarome Iginla, and the corresponding croneyism by the media proleteriat in this city upholding it.
Certainly, there is a veritable buffet of Calgary Flame related tedium to load up our plates with, but save some room for dessert, friends, because today we're going to delve deeper into a topic we can all relate to, one that seems to resonate with everyone, based on the response it gets whenever we bring it up.
That, of course, is this whole business of your Calgary Flames and their goal song.
Random Thoughts - Iggy's Demotion, Brodie's Emergence
Kent Wilson
February 15 2013 07:47AM
The big story after the Flames win was - by many accounts - Jarome Iginla "responding" to Rhett Warrener's public criticisms of the captain. I can't tell you whether Iginla was in fact fired up by Warrener's words or not - I'm not in the room or his head. Nor can I say whether it would overly matter if Iginla was angry or not. Jarome's known for having another gear whenever he's "engaged" emotionally, but he's not the hulk either. Otherwise the Flames could simply employee someone to punch Iggy in the face and insult his mother before every game and watch the cups roll in.
Kipper Down? Keep Your Chin Up
February 14 2013 11:39AM
When CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) started up the Large Hadron Collider there were many who protested the experimental lab over fears that the particle accelerator could accidentally open up a black hole that would engulf the Earth (and most of the galactic neighbourhood as well).
The LHC went live at 10:28 am local time (France and Switzerland) on September 10th, 2008.
Nothing bad happened.

I had lunch last week with my friend Philip Marino, associate editor at W. W. Norton's Liveright imprint. As so often happens in this industry, we landed on the topic of social media and platform-building. He pointed out that e-mail—recently considered a bit of an also-ran in the age of texting, Twitter, and Instagram—has regained a lot of book-marketing strength. That's because of the newsletter, which authors are finding to be a terrific promotional tool. Yes, newsletters have been around since the beginning of the internet, but they have now made a comeback.
Marino and his team at Norton have noticed a strong correlation between the number of an author's newsletter recipients and the resulting sales figures. "As social media platforms become oversaturated with promotions and advertising," says Marino, "we've seen a shift in the past year or two in regards to what sort of author outreach actually gets traction with readers, both new and with those who are already fans. Right now, it's the newsletter."
That's good to know, as is the fact that there are also plenty of great tools available to help authors easily manage the lists for their e-mail blasts. There are also equally helpful ways to measure how effective the messaging is. Not only that, but it's becoming easier to collect e-mail addresses through social-media outreach, your author webpage, and sign-up sheets at book events.
Writers who don't have a newsletter yet should think about starting one. Even if there's not a lot of news to report, and the newsletter only comes out every few months, its reach can extend beyond the e-mail list as your contacts forward it, re-tweet it, and share it on their Facebook pages.
Any suggestions to add? Please feel free to post a reply.

South Central coach Walt Davis made the call to go for two in double overtime. It didn't work so the Falcons lost to New Bern in a heartbreaker for the second year in a row.
The Bears got the scoring started with a 27-yard strike from Tyrell Lindsey to Josh Moore in the first. South Central answered in the second with the first of three Montrell McCotter touchdown runs It was a big night for McCotter as he notched 172 yards on the night.
New Bern's final touchdown in regulation was a 32-yard Mike Banks run in the third. McCotter scored with 4:30 left in the fourth and South Central kicker Michael Anderson tied the score and the game headed into overtime.
This was the Bears fourth win of the season while South Central dropped to 3-4 and has to win a game in the Coastal Conference. Next week New Bern faces the undefeated West Craven Eagles while West Carteret heads to Winterville to take on the Falcons.

Article: Altered expression of CKs 14/20 is an early event in a rat model of multistep bladder carcinogenesis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Cytokeratins (CKs) 14 and 20 are promising markers for diagnosing urothelial lesions and for studying their prognosis and histogenesis. This work aimed to study the immunohistochemical staining patterns of CK14/20 during multistep carcinogenesis leading to papillary bladder cancer in a rat model. Thirty female Fischer 344 rats were divided into three groups: group 1 (control); group 2, which received N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) for 20 weeks plus 1 week without treatment; and group 3, which received BBN for 20 weeks plus 8 weeks without treatment. Bladder lesions were classified histologically. CK14 and CK20 immunostaining was assessed according to its distribution and intensity. In control animals, 0-25% of basal cells and umbrella cells stained positive for CK14 and CK20 respectively. On groups 2 and 3, nodular hyperplastic lesions showed normal CK20 and moderately increased CK14 staining (26-50% of cells). Dysplasia, squamous metaplasia, papilloma, papillary tumours of low malignant potential and low- and high-grade papillary carcinomas showed increased CK14 and CK20 immunostaining in all epithelial layers. Altered CK14 and CK20 expression is an early event in urothelial carcinogenesis and is present in a wide spectrum of urothelial superficial neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on the MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell line. MG-63 cells were exposed to naproxen in a wide range of concentrations of 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.42, 0.83, and 1.67 mg/ml for 72 h. The activity of naproxen was assessed by the following assays: cell morphology; 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method; terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay; comet assay; and acridine orange and monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining. Naproxen exerted a significant inhibitory effect on MG-63 cell proliferation, in a concentration-dependent manner, in all treatment groups compared with untreated cells. An increase in frequency of DNA damage, apoptotic bodies, apoptotic cells, and autophagic vacuoles was observed in MG-63-treated cells. Although future studies are needed, these findings suggest that naproxen may lead to improvements in treatment of patients with osteosarcoma.
Article: Treatment of muscle invasive urinary bladders tumors: A potential role of the mTOR inhibitors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Gemcitabine and cisplatin regimen is an approach currently used in urinary bladder cancer treatment. However, side effects' arising from its administration is a hard concern. In this study, we evaluated different schedules of gemcitabine and cisplatin to determine the efficacy of this combination together with two mammalian targets of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors: temsirolimus and everolimus. The 5637, HT1376 and T24 urinary bladder cancer cell lines were exposed to gemcitabine (72 hours), cisplatin (48 hours), temsirolimus (72 hours) and everolimus (72 hours), in isolation, or in combined schedules (gemcitabine, cisplatin and temsirolimus, or gemcitabine, cisplatin and everolimus). The levels of phosphorylated p70S6 K and 4E-BP1 after treatment with temsirolimus and everolimus were investigated by immunoblotting. The antiproliferative activity, cell cycle distribution, autophagy and apoptosis were analyzed by the MTT assay and immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, acridine orange staining and M30 CytoDEATH antibody. No significant differences in the expression of P-4E-BP1 and P-p70S6 K after temsirolimus and everolimus exposure were found in the HT1376 and T24 cell line. A statistically significant decrease of phosphorylated 4E-BP1 form was detected in the 5637 cell line (P < 0.05) after everolimus exposure. Temsirolimus and everolimus conjugated with gemcitabine and cisplatin decreased the cell proliferation in all three cell lines. This pattern of response was similar to the other parameters analyzed (reduced Ki-67 expression, increased autophagy and apoptosis). Also, in the combined regimen, an enhanced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase in the 5637 cell line and in the early S-phase in the HT1376 and T24 cell lines were observed. The muscle invasive HT1376 and T24 cell lines were the most sensitive to both combinations. The combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin and temsirolimus or everolimus yields an enhanced cytotoxicity efficacy, namely in the muscle invasive urinary bladder cancer cell lines. Although further studies are necessary to complement this data, the present results opening new perspectives in muscle invasive urinary bladder cancer treatment.
Article: Genomic characterization of three urinary bladder cancer cell lines: Understanding genomic types of urinary bladder cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Several genomic regions are frequently altered and associated with the type, stage and progression of urinary bladder cancer (UBC). We present the characterization of 5637, T24 and HT1376 UBC cell lines by karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis. Some cytogenetic anomalies present in UBC were found in the three cell lines, such as chromosome 20 aneuploidy and the loss of 9p21. Some gene loci losses (e.g. CDKN2A) and gains (e.g. HRAS, BCL2L1 and PTPN1) were coincident across all cell lines. Although some significant heterogeneity and complexity were detected between them, their genomic profiles exhibited a similar pattern to UBC. We suggest that 5637 and HT1376 represent the E2F3/RB1 pathway due to amplification of 6p22.3, concomitant with loss of one copy of RB1 and mutation of the remaining copy. The HT1376 presented a 10q deletion involving PTEN region and no alteration of PIK3CA region which, in combination with the inactivation of TP53, bears more invasive and metastatic properties than 5637. The T24 belongs to the alternative pathway of FGFR3/CCND1 by presenting mutated HRAS and over-represented CCND1. These cell lines cover the more frequent subtypes of UBC and are reliable models that can be used, as a group, in preclinical studies.
Article: Synergistic Effect between Cisplatin and Sunitinib Malate on Human Urinary Bladder-Cancer Cell Lines[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to analyse sunitinib malate in vitro ability to enhance cisplatin cytotoxicity in T24, 5637, and HT1376 human urinary bladder-cancer cell lines. Cells were treated with cisplatin (3, 6, 13, and 18 μ M) and sunitinib malate (1, 2, 4, 6, and 20 μ M), either in isolation or combined, over the course of 72 hours. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, acridine orange, and monodansylcadaverine staining and flow cytometry were performed. The combination index (CI) was calculated based on the Chou and Talalay method. In isolation, cisplatin and sunitinib malate statistically (). Autophagy and apoptosis studies showed a greater incidence when the combined treatment was put into use. This hints at the possibility of a new combined therapeutic approach. If confirmed in vivo , this conjugation may provide a means of new perspectives in muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer treatment.
Article: Temsirolimus improves cytotoxic efficacy of cisplatin and gemcitabine against urinary bladder cancer cell lines[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To analyze the cytotoxic action of temsirolimus using 3 established human bladder cancer cell lines and to assess whether temsirolimus potentiates the anticancer activity of gemcitabine and cisplatin. Temsirolimus (500, 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000nM), in isolation, and combined with gemcitabine (100nM) and cisplatin (2.5µg/ml), was given to 5637, T24, and HT1376 bladder cancer cell lines. Cell proliferation, autophagy, early apoptosis, and cell cycle distribution were analyzed after a 72-hour period. The expression of mammalian target of rapamycin baseline, Akt, and their phosphorylated forms, before and after treatment with temsirolimus, was evaluated by immunoblotting. Temsirolimus slightly decreased the bladder cancer cell proliferation in all 3 cell lines. No significant differences in the expression of mammalian target of rapamycin, Akt, and their phosphorylated forms because of temsirolimus exposure were found in the 3 cell lines. As part of a combined regime along with gemcitabine, and especially with cisplatin, there was a more pronounced antiproliferative effect. This pattern of response was similar to the other parameters analyzed (increased autophagy and apoptosis). Also, in the combined regime, an enhanced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase was observed. The non-muscle invasive 5637 bladder cancer cell line was most sensitive to both combinations. Temsirolimus makes a moderate contribution in terms of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. However, it does potentiate the activity of gemcitabine and particularly cisplatin. Therefore, cisplatin- or gemcitabine-based chemotherapy regimen used in combination with temsirolimus to treat bladder cancer represents a novel and valuable treatment option, which should be tested for future studies in urinary bladder xenograft models.
Article: Meloxicam synergistically enhances the in vitro effects of sunitinib malate on bladder-cancer cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To evaluate the in vitro effects of sunitinib malate and meloxicam in isolation, and to analyse the ability of meloxicam to enhance the cytotoxicity of sunitinib malate in three human bladder-cancer call lines. Cell lines were treated with sunitinib malate and meloxicam, either in isolation or combined. Leishman staining, MTT method, comet assay, MDC staining and M30 CytoDEATH antibody were performed. The Chou and Talalay method was applied. Sunitinib malate and meloxicam supressed cell proliferation in bladder-cancer cells in isolation, in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatment of bladder-cancer cells with a combination of sunitinib malate and meloxicam showed a synergistic effect. When exploring the mechanism of this combination by means of comet assay, there is the suggestion that meloxicam increases sunitinib malate cytotoxicity through DNA damage. Autophagic and apoptotic studies show a greater incidence of autophagic vacuoles and early apoptotic cells when the combined treatment was put into use. In isolation, sunitinib malate and meloxicam demonstrated anti-tumor effects in our study. Furthermore, simultaneous exposure of cells to sunitinib malate and meloxicam provided a combinatorial beneficial effect. This hints at the possibility of a new combined therapeutic regimen, which could lead to improvements in the treatment of patients with bladder cancer.
Article: Cytogenetic characterization of an N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine-induced mouse papillary urothelial carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Chemically-induced urinary bladder cancer in rodents has long been used as a reliable model to study the biopathology of urinary bladder neoplasia and to develop therapeutic strategies against human tumors. Knowledge of the genetic basis underlying carcinogenesis would greatly enhance usability and usefulness of this model for the purposes of comparative pathology. However, little is known about the cytogenetic characteristics of rodent urinary bladder tumors. Accordingly, pathological and negative control specimens were collected for cytogenetic evaluation, from an ongoing mouse urinary bladder N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine-induced carcinogenesis study. Histopathological analysis characterized the pathological sample as a papillary urothelial carcinoma. Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed the presence of 66.3 % tetraploid cells. Fluorescent in situ hybridization using chromosome paint probes allowed the detection of a reciprocal translocation involving chromosomes 4 and 14 (containing the murine homologues to human p16 and retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor genes) in 42 % of tetraploid cells. The control sample showed no histological or cytogenetic changes. CDKN2A and RB1 loss of heterozygosity is associated with human early and advanced urinary bladder cancer, respectively. Thus, the present data paves the way for further studies concerning the molecular mechanisms of urinary bladder carcinogenesis.
Article: In Vitro and In Vivo Experimental Models as Tools to Investigate the Efficacy of Antineoplastic Drugs on Urinary Bladder Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Several drugs have shown in vitro and in vivo pharmacological activity against urinary bladder cancer. This review aims at compiling the different drugs evaluated in in vitro and in vivo models of urinary bladder cancer and to review the advantages and limitations of both types of models, as well as the different methodologies applied for evaluating antineoplastic drug activity.
Article: Everolimus combined with cisplatin has a potential role in treatment of urothelial bladder cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy is a commonly treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma. However, episodes of cisplatin resistance have been referenced. Recently it has been reported that everolimus (RAD001) could have an important role to play in bladder-cancer treatment and that mTOR inhibitors may restore chemosensitivity in resistant tumours. The aim of this study was to assess RAD001 in vitro ability to enhance CDDP cytotoxicity in three human bladder-cancer cell lines. Over the course of 72h, the cells were exposed to different concentrations of CDDP and RAD001, isolated or combined. Treatment with CDDP statistically (P<0.05) decreased cell proliferation in cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. The anti-proliferative activity of CDDP used in combination with RAD001 was statistically significant (P<0.05) in the cell lines at all concentrations tested. RAD001 had a therapeutic effect when used in combination with CDDP and could therefore be a useful anti-cancer drug combination for patients with bladder cancer.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To assess the efficacy of meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), on three human urinary bladder-cancer cell lines (HT1376, T24 and 5637) and on mice urinary bladder cancer chemically induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN). The in vitro effects of meloxicam were assessed by optical microscopy, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method, flow cytometry and comet assay. In vivo, Hsd:ICR male mice were exposed to BBN in drinking water, over the course of 12 weeks. Subsequently, animals were treated with meloxicam by intraperitoneal route, for 6 consecutively weeks. Tumour development was evaluated by haematoxylin and eosin staining. Renal and hepatic functions, interleucin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumour necrosis factor (TNFα) were also evaluated. In vitro, meloxicam induced a significant (P<0.05) decrease of cell proliferation. A significant (P<0.05) cell cycle arrest on G0/G1 phase was also detected in all the cell lines, with a slight but significant increase of sub-G0/G1 fraction on T24 (P=0.006) and 5637 (P<0.001) cells. Also a significant (P<0.05) increase in DNA damage was found on meloxicam-treated cells. In vivo, the incidence of pre-neoplastic lesions induced by BBN was not affected by meloxicam treatment. However, although not statistically significant, the development of neoplastic lesions was inhibited by meloxicam treatment without significant alterations of renal or hepatic parameters. Meloxicam is effective on in vitro and in vivo models of urinary bladder cancer. These findings support that meloxicam deserves more attention on urinary bladder cancer study.
Article: R. Arantes-Rodrigues, R. Pinto-Leite, L. Fidalgo Gonçalves, I. Gaivão, A. Colaço (2013) Meloxicam synergistically enhances the in vitro effects of sunitinib malate on bladder-cancer cells. Journal of Applied Biomedicine, 11 (2), 79-92.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine whether everolimus, a rapamycin derivative, might significantly enhance the cytotoxicity of gemcitabine, an antitumor drug, in two human bladder-cancer cell lines. Human bladder-cancer T24 and 5637 cells were incubated with gemcitabine and everolimus in a range of concentrations either alone or in combination for 72 h. Flow cytometry, comet assay, MTT method and optical microscopy were used to assess cell proliferation, cell cycle, DNA damage, and morphological alterations. Gemcitabine exerted an inhibitory effect on T24 and 5637 cell proliferation, in a concentration-dependent manner. Everolimus significantly reduced proliferation of 5637 bladder cancer cells (IC₃₀) at 1 μM), whereas T24 demonstrated marked resistance to everolimus treatment. A significant antiproliferative effect was obtained combining gemcitabine (100 nM) with everolimus (0.05-2 μM) with an arrest of cell cycle at S phase. Furthermore, an increase in frequency of DNA damage, apoptotic bodies, and apoptotic cells was observed when T24 and 5637 cancer cells were treated simultaneously with both drugs. Data show that in vitro combination produced a more potent antiproliferative effect when compared with single drugs.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Oral gavage is a widely used method for administering substances to animals in pharmacological and toxicological studies. The authors evaluated whether oral gavage causes behavioral indicators of stress, increased mortality rate, alterations in food and water consumption and body weight or histological lesions in CD-1 mice. Gavage was carried out once per d for 5 d per week over 6 consecutive weeks. The mortality rate of mice in this study was 15%. Mice subjected to gavage did not undergo changes in food or water consumption during the study, and their mean body weights and relative organ weights were similar to those of mice in the control group. Serum cortisol levels at the time of euthanasia in mice in both groups were within the normal range. Histopathology showed acute esophagitis and pleurisy, indicative of perforation of the esophagus, in the two mice that died but no abnormalities in the other mice. The results suggest that animal stress and mortality related to oral gavage can be minimized when the procedure is carried out by an experienced technician.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate the influence of Everolimus (RAD001) on chemically induced urothelial lesions in mice and its influence on in vitro human bladder cancer cell lines. Methods: ICR male mice were given N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine in drinking water for a period of 12 weeks. Subsequently, RAD001 was administered via oral gavage, for 6 weeks. At the end of the experiment, all the animals were sacrificed and tumor development was determined by means of histopathologic evaluation; mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) expressivity was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Three human bladder cancer cell lines (T24, HT1376, and 5637) were treated using a range of RAD001 concentrations. MTT assay, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), and flow cytometry were used to assess cell proliferation, apoptosis index, and cell cycle analysis, respectively. Immunoblotting analysis of 3 cell line extracts using mTOR and Akt antibodies was performed in order to study the expression of Akt and mTOR proteins and their phosphorylated forms. Results: The incidence of urothelial lesions in animals treated with RAD001 was similar to those animals not treated. RAD001 did not block T24 and HT1376 cell proliferation or induce apoptosis. A reduction in cell proliferation rate and therefore G0/G1 phase arrest, as well as a statistically significant induction of apoptosis (P = 0.001), was only observed in the 5637 cell line. Conclusion: RAD001 seems not to have a significant effect on chemically induced murine bladder tumors. The effect of RAD001 on tumor proliferation and apoptosis was achieved only in superficial derived bladder cancer cell line, no effect was observed in invasive cell lines.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Sirolimus is recently reported to have antitumour effects on a large variety of cancers. The present study was performed to investigate sirolimus's ability to inhibit growth in T24 bladder cancer cells. T24 bladder cancer cells were treated with various concentrations of sirolimus. MTT assay was used to evaluate the proliferation inhibitory effect on T24 cell line. The viability of T24 cell line was determined by Trypan blue exclusion analysis. Sirolimus inhibits the growth of bladder carcinoma cells and decreases their viability. Significant correlations were found between cell proliferation and sirolimus concentration (r = 0.830; p < 0.01) as well as between cell viability and sirolimus concentration (r = -0.896; p < 0.01). Sirolimus has an anti-proliferation effect on the T24 bladder carcinoma cell line. The information from our results is useful for a better understanding sirolimus's anti-proliferative activity in the T24 bladder cancer cell line.

Sporting Regulations.... Try reading them.... It's called bringing the sport into disrepute, a BIG area.This year, there is a difference in how the Stewards work. There is someone there for every race. That person is not an "amateur", but a paid member of the FIA. His job is to be seen to be impartial. A breach of the rules was found to happen, and the person responsible was punished. That is fair. Previous years have seen different things happen, a big difference. The FIA have not exactly been angels over recent years (Hey, Bridgestone runners use different compounds of tyres on each rear wheel, which is illegal, but only test "front left" and "rear right", why not all FOUR tyres from Williams and Ferarri? A bit strange) and in fact forced Ferarri to change their front wing design twice this year because they didn't think it was "100% legal".... Now, other teams have been busted far more over "dubious" things like that. Think BAR fuel tank, think McLaren with "two" brake pedals (illegal steering assistance, despite it not acting on the steering), think Michelin tyres becoming "illegal" half way through the season. Now think of the various infractions which have been carried out by certain teams over the years, and how often the same names crop up. And you say he and his team don't cheat? What was your interpretation of the "barge board" incident? They admitted it did bend 15mm when the rules stated a maximum of 10mm? So how legal was it? I guess "winning a championship by barging people off the track" is ok by you as well, provided Michael does it. And you say that I am biased.

Change Again
I was standing at the window watching the rain come down surveying all the items on my list I have not got completed this summer and now fall is here. It was just a few days ago we were trying to cool the house and now as I stand at the window, I can hear the heater coming on to warm the house. The garden instead of planting now needs to be harvested and prepared for winter. You may not think about it but you could have been among those who had to take a detour on the way to work due to road construction, you may be among the millions who are getting notified there insurance policy is about to change, or you went out to a car that would not start. New movies, new TV shows, a new family moved into the neighborhood, and I need to go visit them, will life ever settle down?
Don't get me wrong, many changes are good for us, a promotion at your job, the scales said you lost a couple of pounds, our understanding of God, our relationship with Jesus, or even our commitment in serving others. All these changes make our lives better. Yet! The things that do not change are what we all desire. The writer of Hebrews says in 13:8 "Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever." He also said earlier in verse 5 "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you not forsake you."" King David said this in Psalm 119:44-45 "So shall I keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, For I seek your precepts." In verse 50 we read "This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word have given me life." Verse 105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
In ages past God promised the world a Savior, one who would come and take the sins of you and me on His shoulders and pay the ultimate price for our sins. A little over 2000 years ago God fulfilled that promise. Jesus died on the cross and rose again to show the world He had not only paid the price for sin but conquered death as well. Romans 10:13 says, "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." It encourages and strengthens me when I read these words in the Bible for I know they will never change. God is a loving, true and just God who we call our heavenly Father. I also know the promises He made in the past we find recorded that were fulfilled means the promises yet to come will also be fulfilled. The Bible tells us many changes are coming and the outcome of these changes is not going to be good. What is comforting is God's Word provides a way of escape for those who have put their trust in Jesus Christ and for those who are yet to do the same. Well, I see the rain has let up and it is time for me make some changes again.

Former Navy WAVE holds Navy heritage dear
There aren't many 92-year-old women who know their way around the workings of a Pratt and Whitney engine on an F-4U Corsair airplane, but Barbara Maroney does.
Maroney served two years as a Navy WAVE during World War II as a metal smith in Pasco, Wash. WAVE is an acronym for Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service.
"I did just about everything there was to do with metal and a whole bunch of other things," she said. "I changed batteries and took apart cylinder heads on engines."
That's how she got her nickname: Buckshot.
"My initials were BBB, so sailors called me Buckshot," she said. "Once I was taking a cylinder head off an airplane and there were some Marines putting a wing together, and they all said, 'Look at the muscles on that WAVE!' and it all just stuck from there. I still have a grandson that calls me Buckshot."
Among those planes she worked on was the gull-winged Corsair, one of the best fighter aircraft the Navy had in its inventory.
Today, Maroney is as feisty as ever. But her life wasn't without pain. She lost her brother, David Beagles, during World War II. He was a sailor on a ship that collided with a mine. Two other brothers also served in the Navy during the war, but both survived.
"I think about him often," she said. "A lot of people sacrificed during the war, and my family was no different."
After the war, Maroney married her husband, Everett, who also served in the Navy.
They met in Pasco during her time as an airplane mechanic. Everett served in the Navy for 26 years and passed away in 1987.
"We were a Navy family," she said.
"My son, Everett, was on submarines. I have two grandsons who are serving in the Navy now. One is on the USS Eisenhower. The Navy has always been part of our lives in one way or another."
Maroney hasn't slowed down much since her Navy days.
She was discharged after two years because of arthritis, but it hasn't kept her from knitting and crocheting. She's also active at St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church.
"I'm still around and still kicking," she said. "Someone asked me the other day what the secret is. I don't smoke or drink. That's a big part of it. I guess I'm just lucky, too."

Re: Good way to invest 30k for 1 year??
On another financial site some folks recommend getting a CD for a longer term if it has a short interest penalty (i.e. 2 or 3 months).
For examply, Ally offers 1.77% for a 5 year CD, but the penalty is 2 months interest for early withdraw -- which will reduce your effective rate down to 1.475% for one year.
Other than that, there are rewards checking accounts out there that offer better rates -- but you have to jump through hoops like setting up automatics ACHs and/or direct deposits, signing up for emails statements, logging into your account regularly, and using the check card a certain number of times each month.
Nothing other than FDIC insured deposits, or short term treasuries held to maturity (which should have lower rates) would be recommended due to your very short time horizon -- you have no time to recover from any market setbacks.

Standing on the corner all alone
All the numbers in your broken telephone
They won't drive you home
Tonight you'll be all alone
And one thing I know is true
All these feelings that I have for you
They won't ever die
I wait and wait, they don't subside
And if it's true
(And if it's true)
What will you do?
Every time I hear your name I crumble
Must it always be this way, I wonder
Is it true?
Guess you don't need fond memories
But let's dispense with the pleasantries
It's killing me
And deep inside where no one else can see
And if it's true
(And if it's true)
What would you do?
When I hear your name in conversation
I just bow my head in contemplation
Is it true?
Is it true?
Is it true?

Computers in the British parliament were used by MPs and their staff to access pornographic websites 300,000 times over the past year, a media report said.
The total represents more than 820 sites a day, the Daily Mail reported citing data released by the Palace of Westminster IT bosses Tuesday in response to information request.
The figures also covers "attempts to access websites categorised as pornography".
However, officials said the figure is not a reflection of deliberate efforts to find sexual content as it included pop-ups as well.
According to the report, all the devices monitored were used by MPs and their staff between 2012 and 2013.
"This highlights the fact that many people working in parliament are spending far too much time on websites that have nothing to do with their job. The internet can be a useful tool for MPs and their staff when it comes to scrutinising government legislation," Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance told Daily Mail.
"However, taxpayers expect their MPs and those working in their offices to get on with their important jobs rather than spending time surfing questionable websites," Sinclair added.
A spokesperson of the House of Commons said the records did not prove that the users "intended" to access pornography, adding, the House of Commons would not put in rules that could restrict attempts to "carry out research".
"We do not consider the data to provide an accurate representation of the number of purposeful requests made by network users due to the ways in which websites can be designed to act, react and interact and due to the potential operation of third-party software," the spokesperson said.

The fast weight loss diet is one
of the most restrictive programs that involve the drastic decrease in daily consumption of calories and fat.
You can rely on them and trust them blindly- so go for the kill … and
you will soon shed off all the extra pounds and be able
to show off the perfect body. You need to trick your body into thinking that you are not dieting.

If I was paid $1.00 everytime some newbie here asked this, I'd be rich by now. So in all seriousness, it is a bad idea because the bike is not designed for an engine. So suck it up and pedal.Originally Posted by stringer45
so to u like, 50 bucks is rich? make me pedalOriginally Posted by KonaRider24
While I agree with Kona, get in touch with Dave at Vienna Bike Shop, Vienna WV. He puts engines on everything, including barstools........
You could tape some model rocket engines to the stays, that would help a little.
Isn't pedaling the whole point to biking?!? Buy yourself a dirtbike if you want to ride off road on two wheels and an engine.
$50.00 is not rich to me. Considering I make 4 times that amount a day. Not including the private parties I bartend. I do really good with the private parties, which allows me to work two days a week at the lbs, which enables me to be able to ride alot. If you are not willing to pedal a bike, this isn't for you.Originally Posted by stringer45

Travel-Not the Same as in Yesteryear!
Salloum, Habeeb, Contemporary Review
WHEN I sit and reflect on how travel has changed through the years, I go back to my own experiences, and these have been extensive. They span most of the twentieth century. During the Second World War and since, I have travelled to some one hundred countries--to many, more than half a dozen times. During this period of time, I have seen travel increase by leaps and bounds. From horse and wagon to sophisticated jets--the change has been dramatic.
My first reflections about travel began at the beginning of the 1930s, during my school days in Canada on the south Saskatchewan prairies. As a child, with my brothers and sisters, we travelled the two and a half miles to school by sled in winter and horse and buggy during the remainder of the year. This mode of transportation also served our family in the first part of the twentieth century. Today when people think that this is a primitive way of moving around, in those early days, except for a few of the affluent, it was literally the only way to travel.
This way of travel had its drawbacks and heartaches. I remember driving with my father in the below zero weather to the nearest town, Val Marie, some 18 miles away. Sitting on the covered sled half frozen while watching the team of horses plod through deep snow, all I could think of was how I hated the cold and winter. However, in those years, everyone travelled in this fashion and endured the hardships.
At the turn of the 1940s, there was a dramatic change in our lives when my father bought his first car. Even though it was old and much used, it brought the outer world closer. Now we could visit places we could only dream of in the horse and buggy days. Even though our car would often stop and frequently needed repairs, it created a revolution in our mode of travel, bringing the outer world within our grasp.
In the years to come, the narrow unpaved roads, which we drove on during my growing years were gradually paved, then, in later years, transformed into superhighways. Trips across Canada, the USA and beyond with a family car became a fact of life. The auto as the favoured vehicle of transportation and pleasure was to become a reality in the years to come. In my youth, it was yet in the world of make-believe.
When I left home at the tender age of 15, I soon became a fan of travelling by bus. For me this was comfort supreme. In that era, people- friendly and reasonable in price, buses were the epitome of luxury travel. At that time, I could not dream that there was a better way to travel. I relished my few trips by bus, trying hard to forget the horse and buggy days.
My real travels began in the early 1940s when I was in the Royal Canadian Air Force. When on leave, without fail, I would travel by train to visit my family in Saskatchewan or to visit friends in Canada and in the USA In those days, travelling by train was like travelling first-class by air today, but with a more human touch.
Young and with an adventurous spirit, I always looked forward to these trips with pleasure and excitement. Unlike in our times when travelling by air only takes hours, travelling by train across the vast Canadian distances took days. In these few days, for me, the train became an exciting home. During the long journeys, sitting with seat companions for hours, I made a good number of friends. This was especially true when it came to the opposite sex. Budding short-term romances which usually came to naught often occurred. I dreamt about some of these fleeting teenage passionate interludes long after the Second World War had ended.
Even though, at times, I often travelled by bus on short journeys, trains were my passion. In the 1950s I travelled from eastern to western Canada with my family three times and it was always a pleasurable experience. The train stations with their romantic travel auras and the friendly people who took the trains never ceased to ensnare me. …

Father's Day is only two days away…and my father-in-law is officially the hardest person to give to…so a few years ago I decided to only give him edible gifts. They are the only kind that seem to get used! I love coming up with these Father's Day Foods.
Last year we gave him ice cream, homemade hot fudge and crunchy topping.
This year we are giving him some yummy trail mix that I think he'll enjoy.
It is made up of almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds (shelled), and chocolate chips. I normally would have added walnuts, but he doesn't like them so they were left out.
I dumped the mix into a large plastic Chinese take out container and added a ribbon and tag and another Father's Day is taken care of!
Here are my recipes for hot fudge and the crunchy topping if you have a hard to buy for dad in your life!
Hot fudge:
1/2 cube butter
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1/8 cup flour
1 can regular evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
Melt butter, add dry ingredients, mix, add milk, mix well with whisk, boil for 2-3 minutes over medium heat stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Crunchy Ice Cream Topping
4 cups oat
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup butter (cut into small cubes)
Mix all ingredients on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
(These are my absolute favorite ice cream toppings so be sure to try them this summer!)
What do you give the hard to buy for dad in your life?

Navigating Markets in the Age of Index Funds; the Massive Influx of Capital into Commodity Futures from Index Funds Has Changed Some Basic Market Relationships and Created Both Opportunities and Dangers. We Will Examine the Opportunities Provided by This Capital and Show You Methods to Exploit It as Well as Help You Avoid Danger
Essen, Emil Van, Modern Trader
In the world of commodity trading, long only commodity funds (LOCF), or index funds as they are otherwise known, have come to dominate the futures industry through both their sheer position sizes and the constant swirl of discussion surrounding their future. Nobody can seem to agree on the total capital managed through commodity index funds. Whether you believe their size is approximately $200 billion, as the index managers would have us believe, or $300 billion, as others estimate using CFTC data, one thing is for sure; ignoring this 800-pound gorilla in the room indeed may be very costly. The buy-and-hold style of index funds has changed the basic nature of how commodities trade and these changes can create both risk and opportunity for those who understand the effects of this massive flow of capital.
When we study commodity price movements in recent years, it is clear something has changed. Most major commodity groups have set 10-year highs in 2008 including the meats, grains, energy complex and many of the softs such as coffee and cocoa. Many of these commodity groups have surged so dramatically that it has caused outrage by some consumers.
The reason that prices have risen dramatically over so many different and seemingly unrelated groups is as follows:
1. The weakening U.S. dollar
2. Strong worldwide economic growth
3. Growing demand from developing countries such as China and India
4. Rising worldwide money supply
5. Growth of commodities as an asset class
Although all these factors have contributed to the commodity bull market, only the growth of commodities as an asset class is both new and can be directly linked to large scale buying in the futures market for each of these commodities. "Explosive growth" (right) taken from the Masters Report to Congress shows the dramatic relationship between commodity prices and the size of the index funds.
Before discussing how to profit from index funds, we must first look at their position sizes.
"Major players," (right) shows position sizes of the index funds compared to commercials and non-commercials (all hedgers and speculators). For the purposes of this comparison, we have excluded long positions held by spreaders. This shows that index funds hold approximately 50% of all long commodity futures positions.
When dissecting the opportunities and dangers resulting from large index fund participation, we can split our analysis into long-term trading, short-term trading, spread trading and investing in CTAs.
We will start our trading analysis with long-term trading because short-term trading should only be done after considering the expected long-term price movements. Index funds have had the effect of shifting all commodities higher and made all trends more bullish. Therefore, what would normally be fundamentally a down market is now flat to slightly bullish. Market conditions that would justify flat markets have become bullish and fundamentally bullish markets have risen exponentially to prices never seen before. But is this relationship permanent? In "The cure is worse," (page 56) we view a long-term chart of the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index with economic recessions highlighted in grey. It is clear from this chart that a recession is a surefire way to extinguish a bull market in commodities. As prices become increasingly high, production tends to increase. However, these production increases take years for many commodities, which gives the market plenty of time to make a steady stream of new highs. Finally, when a global slowdown, or even worse a recession begins, prices in most commodities enter a multiyear bear market. Additionally, once production increases are brought online, production tends to stay high for several years, furthering the bear market. …

EPHRATA, Wash. (AP) — A Moses Lake man who made a threat in call to the governor's office was sentenced to three months in jail.
The Columbia Basin Herald reports (http://bit.ly/ovIe1b ) 60-year-old Jeffrey L. Cornell pleaded guilty to threatening the governor or family and was sentenced Aug. 16 in Grant County Superior Court. The sentence amounts to time he has already served since he was charged in May.
Court papers say Cornell called the governor's office, asking for his birth certificate. When a staff member told him she was going to transfer him to someone who could help, Cornell became angry and said he would "crash and burn into your White House and I will blow you up."

I like Join Avenue, but the problem is that there are so few customers out there when you're offline, making the upgrading process take a long time.
Anyway, I'm currently at Rank 9.
My most notable shop is the Flower Shop run by Ainikki, which is at Rank 7. I use it generally to buy damage-reducing berries. So far I have the Passho, Haban, Payapa and Chople berries, and can't wait to grab all the others.
I also can't wait to grab a Master Ball either!

You call all the rules at the party this year when you dress up in the Sexy Cut-Out Referee Costume. There's no penalty for looking your best on Halloween night. This costume features a black and white striped dress, similar to the clothing a real ref would be wearing. The dress is a zip up to distract the players with your cleavage. The sides of the dress are cut out and replaces with black crisscross lining. Knee high black socks with white lining are also included as well as a whistle. You'll look the part of an actual referee in this piece. Most people normally hate the refs, but it'll be extremely hard to hate you when you're wearing this sexy outfit. Don't make the wrong call, purchase this costume.

Saudi Mortgage Market Slowest in Gulf as Reform Drags, CBRE Says
Saudi Arabia's mortgage market is the least developed among the six Gulf Cooperation Council states almost a year after advisers to the king approved an overhaul of the mortgage law, CBRE Group Inc. said.
"Saudi Arabia has the largest real estate market in the GCC, but the least developed mortgage market," CBRE said in a report today. "This has resulted in a shortage of owner-occupied residential housing, particularly at the lower end of the income scale."
A package of reforms aimed at boosting private mortgage lending hasn't taken affect a year after the Shura Council agreed on final amendments and passed it to King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz. CBRE said the delay is contributing to low mortgage lending in the kingdom, where only 2 percent of home purchases have been financed through mortgages. That compares with 17 percent in the United Arab Emirates and 70 percent in the U.K.
The Saudi monarch pledged to spend more than $82 billion to fund homebuilding last year as political unrest swept the Middle East. The kingdom had about $150 billion worth of delayed public projects as of December 2011, Los Angeles-based CBRE said, citing the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Contractual disputes, high prices of construction materials, bureaucratic difficulties and a lack of manpower have caused the delay, CBRE said.
