Three Suspended from WPEN-FM, Philly for 'Dwayne from Swedesboro' Bit. According to a report in Philly.com from writer Rob Tornoe, Greater Media management has suspended three WPEN-FM employees after the "Dwayne from Swedesboro" bit was revealed earlier this week to be phony. Serving three-day suspensions are program director Matt Nahigian, APD and PM drive personality Jason Myrtetus, and producer Pat Egan. In case you missed it, "Dwayne from Swedesboro" – who exhibited numerous black stereotypes – was a regular "caller" to WPEN-FM's PM drive Mike Missanelli program. Turns out, though, that "Dwayne" was really white producer Pat Egan and that fact was kept from Missanelli (which is why he's not been suspended). When the story broke earlier this week, it created intense chatter among Philly sports talk fans and discussion about broadcasting ethics and racial sensitivities among radio people. Crosstown rival Josh Innes was so incensed, he posted a photo of an old actor in blackface with one of his tweets critical of the bit. Innes was let go by CBS RADIO's WIP-FM on Wednesday and only WIP management knows if that was the sole reason for his dismissal or if it was one of several factors. Regardless, the three will return to work on Wednesday (8/31) and, in the meantime, Greater Media has some damage control to do in Philadelphia.
It's Official: FCC Releases 2014 Quadrennial Regulatory Review. For some time we've known what this review was going to say, but the FCC has now officially released the Quadrennial Regulatory Review with the subtitle "Review of the Commission's Broadcast Ownership Rules And Other Rules Adopted Pursuant to Section 202 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996." Republican Commissioner Michael O'Rielly sums up his feelings thusly, "…rarely have I seen a proceeding take so long and a document say so much in order to accomplish nothing of value. I dissent." Ouch! And referring to the release of the 2010 Quadrennial Review in 2016, Republican Commissioner Ajit Pai states, "What took us so long? Based on the 'substance' of this Order, I have no idea, for the agency essentially does nothing but stick its head in the sand." Both commissioners chide their agency for sticking with the ban on Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-ownership, citing arguments with which readers of this trade publication are already very familiar. Pai also laments the commission's unwillingness to update the Local Radio Ownership Rule, the Radio-Television Cross-Ownership Rule, and the Dual Network Rule. He accuses the agency of defying the courts with regard to diversity. Five years ago, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit vacated the FCC's definition of "eligible entity." Pai comments, "Earlier this year, the Third Circuit said 'enough is enough' and demanded that the FCC take prompt action on its 'stalled efforts to promote diversity in the broadcast industry.' So what does the Commission do here in response to the court? Precisely one thing: It re-adopts the exact same 'eligible entity' definition that the Third Circuit rejected in 2011!" Pai goes on to express disappointment with partisanship and procedure that hampers the agency's ability to serve the industry. "Today's result is all the more unfortunate because compromise was well within reach. For example, a bipartisan majority of commissioners was willing to repeal the outdated Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-Ownership Rule. But for some reason, we were told that this rule would not be repealed unless all commissioners agreed. And sadly, one chose to exercise that veto. As someone who has been on the losing end of more 3-2 votes than I care to remember, I am baffled by this new requirement for unanimity. We've been told for years by the FCC's leadership that 3-2 votes are what democracy is all about. Except, I guess, when it isn't." You can read the FCC's entire report as well as full commentary by O'Rielly, Pai and Democratic Commissioner Mignon Clyburn here.

Glenn Beck Producer Refuses to Name Sources in Boston Marathon Bombing Case. According to Politico's Josh Gerstein, Glenn Beck producer Joe Weasel is refusing a judge's orders to reveal the two sources the program relied on when it continued to insist that Saudi student Abdulrahman Alharbi was the "money man" in the Boston Marathon bombing. Alharbi was questioned by police during the investigation and cleared by authorities. He was also injured in the bombing. Still, Beck insisted Alharbi was involved even after authorities cleared him and Alharbi is now suing Beck for defamation. Beck attorney Michael Grygiel says the sources – reportedly Department of Homeland Security officials – are not being identified for journalistic reasons, and because the sources don't want to be named. Beck stated on his radio show that the sources could be harmed or killed and he noted the shooting death of DNC staffer Seth Rich whom some speculate could have implicated DNC officials in the DNC email scandal. Complicating the matter is that it's not clear if Weasel, who worked for TheBlaze at the time of the bombing, still works for Beck. As for Beck himself, he had no contact with the sources, so it's unclear who might be held in contempt if U.S. District Court Judge Patti Saris chooses that route. Read the Politico piece here.
WIP, Philadelphia Cuts Ties with PM Drive Personality Josh Innes. Naturally, CBS RADIO is not offering a reason for letting sports talk personality Josh Innes go four months before his contract expires in December, but the speculation in the Philly media seems focused on his recent ratings slide. And the cherry on the sundae may have been his criticism of archrival Mike Missanelli at crosstown WPEN-FM over that show's use of a phony African American regular caller who turned out to be a station insider. In criticizing Missanelli over the matter, Innes posted a photo of an old actor in blackface and took some heat for it. Back in July, Philly.com's Rob Tornoe chronicled Innes' ratings slide. Noting that after building a strong Men 25-54 lead over Missanelli in the Nielsen PPM ratings, Tornoe reports that Missanelli had rebounded to beat Innes in eight consecutive PPM monthlies – in the June PPMs by some 3.0 AQH share points. Innes had dealt with some challenges, to be sure. Originally partnered with Tony Bruno in the PM drive slot, Bruno abruptly exited the business last summer. Former Eagles star Hollis Thomas and Philly radio pro Spike Eskin became Innes' on-air partners. Then, in January after programmer Andy Bloom was downsized, Eskin left the show to handle programming duties. For now, WIP is saying that fill-in hosts will appear in the afternoon slot until a permanent show is named.

TED Talk and Audible Partner on New, Anonymous Audio TED Talks. The success of TED has not only led to the expansion of the TED Talks online but to the TEDx initiative that allows free licenses to local organizers to organize their own TED-like events. Now, TED curator Chris Anderson is announcing a new audio platform – in conjunction with the folks at Audible – featuring anonymous, audio TED Talks. In a post at TED blog, Anderson notes the special nature of audio only – he says the "picturelessness" connects us more intimately than any other medium. But the reason for the new anonymous TED Talks is to offer the chance to connect with others to people with knowledge that matters who might not otherwise because of the repercussions of going public. He writes, "Imagine ghostwriters, witnesses, wise souls who've survived something profound. A public figure living with mental illness. Someone who secretly gave up a child for adoption. A teenager who fought back against bullying and won. A parent who found a way to balance the needs of an autistic child and a neurologically normal one. A doctor living with a life and death mistake. An illegal immigrant with ideas on how to change the system. A CEO who knows exactly how and when companies go wrong. Someone living a double life." You can read Anderson's entire blog post here.

Who the Heck Is Marvin Robert Klopfenstein? He's one of the most seasoned and storied radio professionals in the business – better known throughout the industry as Bob K – and he's this week's guest on the PodcastOne award-winning hit series, "Up Close and Far Out with Michael Harrison." Today, the former (self-described) "nerd" from Chino, California – who took accordion lessons, owned a ventriloquist dummy, had a pet duck and pushed around an AV cart in high school – maintains a relatively modest profile as the owner/operator of the Boston-based production company, Bob K Sound & Recording. But back in the day, he programmed and/or managed some of the most important music and talk stations in the nation (KABC, KOA, KFWB, WIND, KING, KOB, KMPC, WBZ and more) and coached some of the biggest-name talent (Jerry Williams, Larry Glick, Tom Leykis, Doug Stephan and the legendary Alan Berg to name a handful). The conversation between Harrison and Klopfenstein is a radio geek's delight! They talk about Bob K's experience serving as the radio consultant on the successful, multi-Emmy Award-winning "Frasier" television sitcom back in the 1990s – and is still playing to huge audiences on Netflix. It starred Kelsey Grammer as the pompous Seattle radio psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane. One of the many assets that made "Frasier" one of the best TV shows of all time was its atypically accurate depiction of the radio station, studio and employees – due in large part to then-KABC program manager Bob K's expertise and participation in designing the set and coaching the actors. Fans of the classic TV series will love this podcast. Harrison and Klopfenstein also talk about the late Alan Berg (whom Bob K hired at KOA), the liberal/Jewish personality murdered in cold blood by anti-Semitic, white supremacists in 1984, who inspired the Eric Bogosian/Oliver Stone play and film, "Talk Radio." To listen to the podcast in its entirety, please click here or click on the "Up Close and Far Out" player box located in the right-hand column of every page of Talkers.com and RadioInfo.com.

Former Fox News Personality Andrea Tantaros Sues Fox News. News/talk media personality Andrea Tantaros has filed a suit in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan against her former employer Fox News for sexual harassment, according to a story in The New York Times. Tantaros also hosted a nationally syndicated talk radio show for Talk Radio Network in 2013. In her complaint, Tantaros accuses former Fox News chief Roger Ailes – among other executives – of sexual harassment and alleges she was pulled from her host position on "The Five" after rebuffing advances by Ailes and demoted to a midday show. Fox News is not commenting on the suit. However, Tantaros recently left the network after a contract dispute ignited by what Fox alleged was Tantaros' publication of a book without seeking permission. The Times piece reports that a Fox lawyer said Tantaros made up the harassment allegations to gain leverage during the contract dispute while Tantaros' lawyer says Tantaros was offered a seven-figure sum to renounce the claims against Ailes.
Nielsen Pulls 35 Households from Los Angeles PPM Panel. Citing "irregular compliance patterns," Nielsen Audio has made it known that has dismissed 35 households from the Los Angeles PPM panel. Nielsen is not going into much detail other than to say that its review team discovered that its quality standards were not adhered to. Nielsen says the irregularities were noticed among households in question in the first two weeks of the Los Angeles August 2016 survey and that those households were removed for weeks three and four of the survey. As a result, Nielsen is reviewing the data for the Los Angeles surveys to determine if any previous months had been affected. The company is also looking at other PPM markets to see if similar irregularities occurred. Meanwhile, Nielsen says its control system did its job is discovering the problems but will continue to review ways to prevent recurrence of these irregularities. It's not believed that any media households were involved. It was two years ago that a KSCA, Los Angeles staffer was fired after it had been determined the station had made contact with a panelist and ratings had to be reissued.

Bernadette Duncan's Highly Anticipated Book About Talk Radio, Yappy Days, Released Today. The long-awaited book is provocatively titled, YAPPY DAYS: Behind the Scenes with Newsers, Schmoozers, Boozers and Losers (AuthorHouse/Talkers Books, 2016) and it is receiving rave reviews from readers inside and outside the industry. For example, Westwood One syndicated personality Jim Bohannon writes, "How good is a quarterback without the left tackle who has his back? For 26 years, producer Bernadette Duncan was left tackle for some of the biggest quarterbacks in talk radio. From the Super Bowl egos to bone-jarring clashes, Bernadette takes you inside the talk radio huddle. Yappy Days is an MVP – most valuable publication." Written by the veteran talk show producer and wife of TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison, it chronicles her 26-year career in the trenches of big-time talk radio during its most dramatic decades (1983-2009) – set against the backdrop of America's pre- and post-9/11 realities when in one fateful day, talk radio went from its post O.J. Simpson default of covering celebrity murder mysteries (Gary Condit, Jon-Benet Ramsey, etc.) to an obsession with the reality and ongoing threat of civilian mass murder at the hands of terrorists. She worked for some of the biggest names in the business during their glory days – Sally Jessy Raphael, Larry King, Tom Snyder, Lou Dobbs, Gil Gross, Charles Osgood and many more. She captures through anecdotes and gentle analysis her experiences being a news/talk producer at ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and United Stations Radio Networks as well as local New York City radio landmarks, WMCA and WOR. In addition to dishing insights into "the character of characters," including literally hundreds of industry and newsmaker names in this extremely candid account, Bernadette makes a compelling case on behalf of the importance of the position of radio producer – which she describes as being "the most under-rated, under-paid and under-appreciated job in commercial media." Fox Radio and TV star Alan Colmes comments, "Yappy Days is a must read for anyone who ever produced or wants to produce media – and for anyone who ever consumes it. More than a producer's manual, as you travel with Bernadette on her exciting journey, you realize it's a life manual as well." WPGG, Atlantic City morning host Harry Hurley adds, "I couldn't put the book down. Rarely, if ever do you learn about the radio and television industry from the inside out versus the outside in. With integrity and a flair to properly tell a great story, Bernadette's Yappy Days delivers the goods." Although she never worked directly with or for Rush Limbaugh, she interviewed him early in his career for the New York Daily News and crossed paths with him at several key junctures in his career, presenting a compelling study of his evolution in the chapter, "Brushes with Rushes," that media consultant Holland Cooke describes as "nothing short of poignant." Bernadette kicks off a national radio/media tour this evening with a guest shot on the Jim Bohannon Show. Producers and hosts interested in booking Bernadette Duncan on their shows can do so by calling Barbara Kurland at 413-565-5413. To read a special review and feature story about the book by TALKERS/RadioInfo VP/executive editor Kevin Casey posted today (8/22), please click here. The book is available at Amazon.com.

Vermont woman loses $5K in phone scam
72-year-old women thought she won a contest
Published 9:29 PM EST Nov 04, 2012
Officials say a 72-year-old Vermont woman has lost $5,000 in a phone scam.
State police said the Orwell woman was contacted by someone posing as a representative from Bank of America who said she'd won a promotional contest worth $350,000.
The person convinced the woman to send $5,000 as part of the terms of the contest.
The woman told police the person contacted her again to say she'd actually won $4.1 million but would need to send more money to collect.
The woman then contacted a friend who told her it was a scam.

I would think a fully charged battery would help.Also make sure the card is being inserted correctly and not forced. Since the card is spring loaded, try gently pushing the card in and out and then use a Rocket blower to remove any thing that worked lose.There is the 2 button reset and possibly the reset button. But you should note your camera settings as the resets will force many settings back to the default values.Was the card reformatted with the computer?Have you tried to reformat the card in the camera?

Endocannabinoid system is overactivated in individuals with abdominal obesity. CBI receptors, first individualized in the brain, are also expressed in the adipocyte, the skeletal muscle, the liver, the gut, and the pancreas. Their blockade improves glucose tolerance and lipid profile, thanks increased insulin sensitivity and adiponectin levels. Rimonabant, a selective antagonist of CBI receptors, improves glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes, treated with diet alone, metformin, sulfonylurea or insulin, while it also reduces body weight and other risk factors. Ongoing studies aim at further demonstrating the potential of rimonabant in the management of type 2 diabetes, in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and in the protection against cardiovascular complications in (diabetic) patients with abdominal obesity.

The purpose of the present study was to identify a potential interference of bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) with sperm-oocyte interactions during bovine in vitro fertilization. An inhibition of almost 70% of sperm-zona binding was observed when bovine cumulus-denuded oocytes were inseminated in the presence of 10(7) 50% tissue culture infective dose/ml BoHV-1. The inhibitory effect of BoHV-1 on sperm-zona binding was mediated by an interaction of the virus with spermatozoa, but not with oocytes. Treatment of spermatozoa with BoHV-1, however, did not affect sperm motility and acrosomal status. Antiserum against RoHV-1 prevented the virus-induced inhibition of sperm-zona binding, indicating that BoHV-1 itself affects the fertilization process. In order to investigate which BoHV-1 glycoprotein(s) are responsible for the virus-sperm interaction, BoHV-1 was treated with monoclonal antibodies against the viral glycoproteins gB, gC, gD and gH prior to insemination. Anti-gC completely prevented the inhibitory effect of BoHV-1 on sperm-zona binding, while anti-gD caused a reduction of this inhibition. Further evidence for the involvement of gC and gD in the virus-sperm interaction was provided by the fact that purified gC and gD decreased sperm-zona binding in a dose-dependent way with gC being more effective than gD. These results indicated that BoHV-1 inhibits bovine sperm-zona binding by interacting with spermatozoa. The binding of BoHV-1 to a spermatozoon is mediated by the viral glycoproteins gC and gD, and therefore seems to be comparable with the mechanisms of BoHV-1 attachment to its natural host cell.

Ceramide-activated NAD(P)H oxidase has been reported to participate in homocysteine (Hcys)-induced abnormal metabolism of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in rat glomerular mesangial cells. However, it remains unknown whether this ceramide-redox signaling pathway contributes to glomerular injury induced by hyperhomocysteinemia (hHcys) in vivo. The present study was designed to address this question, defining the role of ceramide and activated NAD(P)H oxidase in the development of hHcys-induced glomerular injury. Uninephrectomized Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a folate-free diet for 8 weeks to produce hHcys and the de novo ceramide synthesis inhibitor myriocin or the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor apocynin was administrated. Rats with folate-free diet significantly increased plasma Hcys levels, renal ceramide levels, and NAD(P)H oxidase activity accompanied by marked glomerular injury. Treatment of rats with myriocin significantly reduced ceramide levels and improved glomerular injury, as shown by decreased urinary albumin excretion and reduced glomerular damage index. ECM components changed towards to normal levels with decreased tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and increased matrix metalloproteinase-1 activity. NAD(P)H oxidase activity and Rac GTPase activity were reduced by 69 and 66%, respectively. In rats treated with apocynin, similar beneficial effects in protecting glomeruli from hHcys-induced injury were observed. These results support the view that de novo ceramide production is involved in Hcys-induced NAD(P)H oxidase activity in the kidney of hHcys rats and indicate the important role of ceramide-mediated redox signaling in hHcys-induced glomerular injury in rats.

The anti-inflammatory properties of hydrophilic extracts of the capsular polymers of twelve cyanobacterial strains belonging to the genera Phormidium and Nostoc from marine and terrestrial habitats were tested topically on croton oil-induced oedema in mice ear skin. The screening program identified several strains as producers of anti-inflammatory products (up to 56% inhibition of the oedema). The inhibition response was dose-dependent. The application of trichloroacetic acid-treated extracts reduced the oedema by about 60%. On the other hand, one of the strains enhanced the inflammatory response. Analysis of five of the extracts showed the presence of neutral sugars (from 34.3% to 47.1%, w/w), uronic acids (from 7.1% to 26.7%, w/w) and proteins (from 30.1% to 57.0%, w/w) in the crude polymer. Rhamnose, fucose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose, galactose, galacturonic acid and glucuronic acid were detected as well as sulphate groups (from 9.6% to 21.5%, w/w of sugars). The main components found were glucose and mannose. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 37 (3 ULg)

In the embryonic day 19 organs of Corti, we showed that roscovitine, a chemical inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), significantly increased the number of hair cells (HCs) and corresponding supporting cells (SCs) by triggering differentiation of precursor cells without interacting with cell proliferation. The effect of roscovitine was mimicked by other CDK1, 2, 5, and 7 inhibitors but not by CDK4/6 and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway antagonists. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that roscovitine-specific intracellular targets, CDK1, 2, 5, and 7, were expressed in the organ of Corti and especially in Hensen's cells. Affinity chromatography studies showed a tight correlation between the protein levels of CDK1/2 and 5 and the rate of roscovitine-induced supernumerary cells in the organ of Corti. In addition, we demonstrated that basal CDK activity was higher and more roscovitine-sensitive at developmental stages that are selectively permissive for the emergence of supernumerary cells. These results suggest that CDKs are involved in the normal development of the organ of Corti and that, at least in E19 embryos, inhibition of CDKs is sufficient to trigger the differentiation of HCs and corresponding SCs, presumably from the Hensen's cell progenitors and/or from progenitors located in the greater epithelial ridge area.

Inhibitors of bacterial dd-peptidases represent potential antibiotics. In the search for alternatives to beta-lactams, we have investigated a series of compounds designed to generate transition state analogue structures upon reaction with dd-peptidases. The compounds contain a combination of a peptidoglycan-mimetic specificity handle and a warhead capable of delivering a tetrahedral anion to the enzyme active site. The latter includes a boronic acid, two alcohols, an aldehyde, and a trifluoroketone. The compounds were tested against two low-molecular mass class C dd-peptidases. As expected from previous observations, the boronic acid was a potent inhibitor, but rather unexpectedly from precedent, the trifluoroketone [d-alpha-aminopimelyl(1,1,1-trifluoro-3-amino)butan-2-one] was also very effective. Taking into account competing hydration, we found the trifluoroketone was the strongest inhibitor of the Actinomadura R39 dd-peptidase, with a subnanomolar (free ketone) inhibition constant. A crystal structure of the complex between the trifluoroketone and the R39 enzyme showed that a tetrahedral adduct had indeed formed with the active site serine nucleophile. The trifluoroketone moiety, therefore, should be considered along with boronic acids and phosphonates as a warhead that can be incorporated into new and effective dd-peptidase inhibitors and therefore, perhaps, antibiotics.

Cornea engraftment is the most common organ transplantation practiced around the world. The cornea is totally devoid of blood or lymphatic vessels, except in a peripheral zone called the limbus. This property, named "corneal angiogenic privilege", is conserved among all mammals to maintain cornea transparency and optimal visual acuity. In pathological conditions such as trauma, infections or hypoxia, blood and lymphatic vessels can grow into the avascular cornea, reducing visual acuity. In case of keratoplasty, it also considerably increases the risk of cornea graft rejection and is so considered as a high-risk keratoplasty. Treatments improving cornea survival after transplantation need to be developed, notably aiming at blocking corneal neovascularization. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of Sunitinib, a broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor, to reduce experimental corneal neovascularization. Cornea vascularization was induced by thermal cauterization applied in the center of C57Bl6 mice cornea, daily feeded with 40mg/kg Sunitinib or vehicule. Corneas were immunolabeled as whole mounts for CD31 and Lyve-1 to evidence blood and lymphatic vessels, 7, 11 and 17 days after cauterization. Whole mount pictures were analyzed by computer-assisted quantification, and relative vascular area, end-point density, node density, length density and maximal length of the vessels were determined to finely characterize blood and lymphatic vascular networks. We observed an inhibition of angiogenesis after 17 days in Sunitinib treated mice, where blood vessel relative surface, end-point density, branching density and length density were 1.8-fold decreased. Maximum length of blood vessels was also significantly reduced in the Sunitinib treated group at days 11 and 17. Lymphangiogenesis was strongly inhibited from day 6 to day 17 after cauterization where all parameters, except maximum length of lymphatic vessels, were significantly decreased. In case of transient Sunitinib administration (feeding during the 7 first days), we did not observe any reduction in the extent of blood or lymphatic networks developing 21 days after lesion induction. In vitro experimentations using the aortic and lymphatic ring assays showed a strong angiogenesis inhibition induced by Sunitinib while lymphangiogenesis was not inhibited. Our results show that the use of Sunitinib can strongly affect corneal neovascularisation and could enter in early treatment of such eye lesions to avoid vision loss and risk of cornea graft rejection. However, a punctual use of such tyrosine kinase inhibitor is not sufficient to stem neovascular reaction. In vitro experimentations show strong angiogenesis inhibition but normal lymphangiogenesis, suggesting indirect inhibitory effect of Sunitinib on corneal lymphangiogenesis.

The growth response of normal and human papillomavirus (HPV)-transformed cervical keratinocytes to interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha was investigated in monolayer and organotypic raft cultures. The proliferation rates of monolayer cultures were assessed by [3H]TdR incorporation and fluorimetric DNA titration. The growth of keratinocytes in organotypic cultures was estimated by their ability to stratify on collagen rafts and by immunohistochemistry for Ki67 antigen expression. IFN-gamma reduced the DNA synthesis of normal and HPV-transformed keratinocytes in monolayer cultures and exerted a marked growth inhibitory effect in organotypic raft cultures. In control raft cultures, normal keratinocytes produced an epithelial sheet of approximately 10 cells in thickness that closely resembled normal cervical epithelium and was characterized by sparse Ki67 antigen-positive cells whereas HPV-transformed keratinocytes produced up to 15 poorly differentiated epithelial layers that were reminiscent of high grade cervical lesions seen in vivo and exhibited a full thickness Ki67 antigen expression. When normal and HPV-transformed keratinocytes were maintained in the presence of IFN-gamma, the epithelial sheet was reduced to a few cells in thickness and the density of Ki67 antigen-positive cells was decreased. A more pronounced growth inhibitory effect in monolayer and organotypic cultures was observed when IFN-gamma was associated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha Tumor necrosis factor-alpha alone reduced the DNA synthesis of normal keratinocytes but was significantly less effective than IFN-gamma to inhibit the growth of HPV-transformed keratinocytes. These results suggest that similar responses in vivo to regulatory molecules may play a role in the development of HPV-related lesions. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 21 (1 ULg)

The close correlation observed between matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) activation and metastatic progression in various tumors suggests that MMP-2 is a 'master switch' triggering tumor spread. Recently, membrane type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP) was identified as a potential physiological activator of MMP-2. Like all other MMPs, MT1-MMP possesses a pro-domain which must be removed for the enzyme to acquire its catalytic potential. The presence of a typical recognition motif (RXKR) for the furin-like convertases at the end of its pro-domain suggests a potential role for these proteinases in MT1-MMP processing. In order to evaluate the implication of furin in pro-MT1-MMP processing, we treated HT1080 cells with a synthetic furin inhibitor and monitored their ability to activate pro-MMP-2 as well as their invasive potential. Our results demonstrated that the furin inhibitor decreased pro-MT1-MMP processing as well as pro-MMP-2 activation and cell invasiveness. Therefore, our data bring further evidence that furin is a key factor in the maturation of MMPs associated with the invasive and metastatic potential of tumor cells.

Weekend Cocktail: Prosecco With Poached Pear Syrup
I could have reduced this syrup down into something thicker and stickier, which could be poured over a cake or ice cream. But I really liked the flavor as it was — it was like a sweeter, pumped-up essence of pear.
It was too sweet to drink straight, but I did mix it with a bottle of inexpensive dry Prosecco. I added half a Meyer lemon, sliced thin, and squeezed in the juice from the other half. A sprig of rosemary was the final garnish.
Result? Sweet, fragrant, spiced Prosecco with pear juice and the tang of lemon — a wonderful pre-dinner drink for early spring. The warmth of spices nodded to the fact that it was still quite chilly out, but all that sweet, fizzy wine and the bright lemons made for a drink that felt like spring.
It's definitely a quick, easy, weekend cocktail I'll be making again soon! I could see mixing this up differently, too; it would probably have been nearly as good just mixed with club soda or tonic water, or with an added shot of St. Germain elderflower liqueur.

it for money.
People hawking scrap metals would have to provide buyers with
their personal information and copies of their photo IDs. Rep. Mike
Denham, the bill's sponsor, said he wants to crack down on people
stealing various metals - such as copper, aluminum or platinum - to
fetch high prices on the resale market.
"It's happening all over," Denham said. "It's a major
As the price of scrap metal has increased, so has the number of
scrap metal thefts across the state. Members of the House Judiciary
Committee heard anecdotes Wednesday of people stealing copper
telephone wire, aluminum from homes and catalytic converters off
the undersides of parked cars.
Denham said beefing up Kentucky's current law that already
requires scrap metal buyers to keep information on people they buy
copper from is needed. Scrap metal buyers are also required to
report those transactions to police within 24 hours.
The proposal being considered in the Kentucky House would expand
the information that's kept on sellers and the types of metals that
would trigger the enhanced record-keeping. Recyclers would also
have to maintain records of their transactions under the proposal.

Buffalo's stock is rising. That fact is evident in various economic indicators that offer an objective view of how the region has gone from stagnant to sterling in just a few short years. But even without the formal metrics, all one really need do is to engage in conversation with virtually any Buffalonian at a local pub to gauge the positive shift in perspective among those who actually live here. Most of us intuitively sensed it, but the results are now in and it's official: Buffalo has become … cool.
We love seeing those multistory cranes downtown and the boom in housing, hotels, retail and mixed-use space construction. The medical corridor has helped change the face of downtown. Relatively new attractions like Canalside, Larkinville and the outer harbor draw us in the summer months while Harborside and other emergent cold-weather attractions will genuinely make us a year-round destination. And we've become a bike-friendly city!
Meanwhile, our core inventory of amazing architecture, park lands, an outsized cultural community and, of course, our abundance of great dining options – which now include a growing list of food trucks – all combine to create a quality of life that makes Buffalo a very appealing place to live … and work.
A few months ago, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo rolled out the START-UP New York initiative, which offers an unprecedented package of incentives for new and expanding businesses. Think about it: Employees will pay no state or local taxes, no sales taxes, no property taxes, no franchise fees – and businesses may apply for other incentives as well. Needless to say, this program has caught the eye of a great many entrepreneurs, locally, nationally and internationally.
To qualify, all an eligible business or start-up need do is to locate its operation within designated space affiliated with a SUNY institution. So in effect, a business not only gains the impressive fiscal benefits built into Cuomo's package but can then multiply this advantage by capitalizing on the resources and the synergies gained from working with the faculty, staff and students of our SUNY institutions and select private colleges in the region.
SUNY Buffalo State is developing a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem in which new, sustainable enterprise can grow and thrive. "Launch Buffalo" synchronizes the commercial needs of prospective businesses with our academic mission and educational programs. Joining our energized campus community will create unique opportunities for participating businesses while student interns and faculty can grow and develop in unexpected ways.
Launch Buffalo will create new jobs and innovative outcomes that will contribute toward the growing wellness of our Buffalo economy. How cool is that?
Rick Johnson is manager of project development and economic advancement at the SUNY Buffalo State Office of Sponsored Programs.

Search engine and directory submission:
"We will SUBMIT your site to many search engines and directories. We DO NOT LIST them. We simply Submit them. The individual search engines and directories determine if, when and where your site will appear on their engines. We have no control over this. We will submit your site to them on a monthly basis for the life of your account. We require that you create an email address to be used specifically for the submission process. We require this because once we submit you, you will receive MANY confirmation emails and a lot of marketing related spam as well. So please be sure to create an email account with any of the free major email providers. Many of the submissions will require that you check your email and confirm the submissions by clicking a link in the email they send you. This is something that you should check and complete monthly to ensure that your submissions are accepted.
* we received three confirmation emails and all of them were error's stating they could not submit the site.
SEO Optimization and ongoing monitoring and maintenance:
"Our technical staff will monitor and optimize seo related content continually. We will conduct periodic reviews using current SEO trends and practices and making the appropriate adjustments to your website to ensure that it meets current standards. This will include meta tag, word density and keyword analysis and optimization throughout your entire site.
* We hired a market company to assist because it was not optimized. In addition, AIS sent us emails advising us to do pay per clicks and perform back linking?* We hired a company right away but they were only able to apply meta tags to the splash page.
- When populating the site with inventory, there are numerous items that are tagged incorrectly and in wrong categories. We have no ability to correct these. Therefore, if a customer is clicking on categories or searching items, results are incorrect.
With limited customization we were only able to include meta tags to the splash page which obviously is a precursor to our site and not within the actual site itself.
Meta Tags are used by search engines to gather more information about a web page so that they know how to rank it in search results.
Typically Meta Tags are created for each page of a site. If it's a dynamic site then we are usually able to update "category" pages.
We are not able to optimize the internal product pages of the site for search engines because we are not allowed access to that portion of the site.
We need to optimize all meta tags; title, description, keywords, h cards (geo location tags), content, etc.
There is a tag that tells the search engines how often to crawl your site. Without this tag the search engines will only crawl the site when they deem it necessary.
Limited/no customer service - we are not able to effectively communicate with the support center. We left numerous messages without returned calls.
We have no proof that emails have been sent to previous customers.
We were promised submission to over 1500 search directories. Instead I received emails from search directories stating they were unable to accept our site because of errors in the meta tags
which were set on internal site pages by you.
We were promised a new template in which we would be able to customize the site and change navigation to be more user friendly and still after over 3 months we have not seen this update.

SUBMITTED: Friday, January 13, 2012POSTED: Friday, January 13, 2012
I wrote the following email on here to an employee. I hope visa gave you there money back but if you want to speak with my about the Law suit I have two others who are pursuing this with me. which makes this a class action law suit.
The love element my company has been with you since 10/7/2010. I paid your company allot of money including that upgrade in which I was told by Tony Bruno your then Marketing director in which I will supply you with the email that I have from him that I would be allowed FTP access. I keep very detailed records of all email that I send and receive.
I also promised search engine optimization which according to the SEO auditor I had look at the site your site is not even proper built to support such things. I can supply you with testimony from companies in which i outsourced for SEO and your company promised this with the upgrade however you did not deliver. I have email your customer service department on several occasions to inquire about this and They seem to be very rude and unprofessional.
The website does not even support content on the pages which is critical to any SEO campaign. Today I emailed customer service and asked for the FTP access I was promised by mr. Bruno and they shut my website down no reason. No email no explanation at all. You should know that I have contacted a few other of your companies people that they have ripped off and I am pursuing a lawsuit. I had my lawyer read over the contract when i first signed it and I know I am subject to AZ law and so I have contacted a law firm in your area and I have a meeting with them via phone on Monday. two or more people in lawsuit makes it class action I already have 3 people willing to pursue this. If any others would like Information feel free to contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. Smartest thing I ever did was secure my domain name from them.
Also since YOUR COMPANY LIED AND MISREPRESENTED THEMSELVES, THE SERVICES AND ETC AND shut down my website without any reason I have contacted my credit card company and disputed every charge I have ever made with your company.
Now a real reputable company would contact me to make this right an offer what was promised by their employee but I am sure your company is not so I am just going to go forward with my original plan and consult with an attorney. Below you will find the email from Mr. Tony Bruno sent to me November 2010...

I found this apartment literally at the last minute and booking it with Manuel was very easy and hassle free. It certainly suited my budget and pretty good value for money. Manuel was very accommodating, extremely friendly and welcoming. The location of the flat is great & commute to any part of the city is easy. Two things are important for me, the bed and the shower and both got the thumbs up! One suggestion perhaps would be to a have a starter pack of fairy liquid and cloths in the kitchen and maybe soap in the bathroom as I arrived quite late at night. Overall, thank you for a pleasant stay.
In the rental price we would have expected more.The apartment has two beautiful bedrooms and a comfortable living room . The kitchen is well equipped . The contact with the owner was excellent. Unfortunately the apartment has no balconies The apartment was not cleaned well . However, the location is unique and Manuel behaved very well .
It was a perfect apartment for us! Just 400m away from Plaza Cataluna, walking distance from/to the airport shuttle. Flat was clean, very nice decorated and quiet, little balcony at the back side. Checkin and key handover was organized perfectly. 5 stars overall!
Really nice place, Manuel & his collegue are really kind. The house is really warm and nice. Special place, nice position...
Very nice contact. The flat has the perfect location in that part of the city i like most. The equipment of the flat was absolutely enough for us. We found everything we needed. Thank you very much for a perfect stay.
Very clean , everything was very good
the bedroom facing the street are noisy, the back no direct sunlight.
Well is close to the metro station!
We have just stayed a couple of days in this great apartment. The apartment is in lovely condition and located just in the city centre and stil very quiet. Manuel welcomed us on arrival and check in and check out went very smoothly. Perfect apartment for a family or two couples. Best accommondation we have had in Barcelona of our 7th stays in this fabulous city and we give our best recommondations!
We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. Manuel was friendly up on arrival. The apt is well situated, we walked every where. The bus or metro are also close by.
The air-conditioning was not working and wash machine was leaking during a wash so we dimentionned it to Manuel hopefully will be taking care of
Super dejlig stor og lys lejlighed. Fantastisk udsigt. Vi nød opholdet og den gode service fra Manuel.
Super nice big and bright apartment. Great view. We enjoyed the stay and the good service from Manuel.

text: Hello Everyone! I'm new to this group, but I'm so glad I've found it. It's nice to know that there are other people who are going through what we are going through. Our son was born with clubfoot on his left foot. We had no idea until he was born. He started the casting process at 4 days old. Our son did fabulously through all of that. The casts never bothered him. He had his achilles tendon cut 3 weeks ago, just got his last cast off, and we just started with the Ponseti brace last night. Wow!! That was a challenging night. Luckily for us, our podiatrist has told us that our son only has to wear the brace at nght. He said that if he's wearing it 8-10 hours a day, he would be happy about that. Our son sleeps almost 12 hours so he's getting more brace-wearing time than the doctor even recommends. I have no idea how you parents do it with little ones that have to wear them 23 hours a day. Prayers and hugs to you. I've already read some suggestions regarding how to get a baby to sleep with the brace on, and I'm going to try it tonight.
