ATLANTA -- Take that, Ocho and T.O.
Roddy White had one of the best games of his career, outshining Cincinnati's loquacious receiving duo all by himself to lead the Atlanta Falcons to a wild 39-32 victory over the Bengals on Sunday.
Highly motivated by Chad Ochocinco's trash talking and the chance to go against Terrell Owens, White made 11 catches for 201 yards -- many of them truly spectacular. There was a one-handed reception. And a juggling grab while falling into the end zone. And, finally, a mighty leap to come down with a 2-point conversion, which didn't even count on his individual stats.

"I had a little chip on my shoulder," White said.
If it had been thrown his way, he undoubtedly would've caught that, too.
"Roddy has been the best player on our football team," said Falcons coach Mike Smith, who's usually reticent about singling out individuals. "That was a wonderful game."
The Falcons (5-2) squandered a 24-3 halftime lead, actually falling behind when Cincinnati (2-4) took advantage of two turnovers and ripped off 22 straight points in the third quarter.
The Bengals scored one of their TDs when Adam Jones ripped the ball away from White and returned it for a touchdown. But even that mistake didn't ruin White's day. He bounced right back in the final period.
"I was upset," White said. "I just wanted to go out there and have my quarterback keep throwing the ball my way."
Matt Ryan did just that, and White hauled in his second touchdown of the day on an 11-yard pass to put the Falcons back ahead to stay. On the 2-point conversion, Ryan had to scramble and finally just heaved the ball toward the end zone. No worries. White leaped over Leon Hall and two other defenders close by, yanking down the ball to put Atlanta up 32-25.
But White's best catch of all came early on, when he hauled in a pass using only his right hand. His left arm was busy fending off Jones.
Any other day, White's top play would've been a 43-yard touchdown in which he beat two defenders and had the ball pop away as he was falling. He kept his concentration, grabbed it back and tumbled across the goal line.
All along, he was intent on outplaying Ochocinco and Owens.
"I know how good they've been over the years," White said. "Anytime you go against those guys, you want to do well."
After Cedric Benson's fumble gave the ball back to the Falcons, White made two more catches and Michael Turner powered over for his second TD on a 3-yard run with 4:33 remaining. Turner, who had only one touchdown on the season coming in, finished with 121 yards on 23 carries.

|Cincinnati Bengals
|The defense came out flat in the first half, allowing Matt Ryan to throw all over the place. Quarterback Carson Palmer put up a valiant effort in the second half, throwing for 402 yards and three touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to overcome many defensive deficiencies.
|Atlanta Falcons
|Atlanta played a solid game in the first, second and fourth quarters. What transpired in the third quarter was a nightmare for coach Mike Smith and his staff as Cincinnati reeled off 22 unanswered points. Wide receiver Roddy White came through big, leading the way with 11 catches, 201 yards and two TDs.

Ryan had his best game of the season, completing 24 of 33 for 299 yards and three touchdowns.
Ochocinco said the defending AFC North champion Bengals couldn't afford another loss so early in the season, and he tried to fire up his teammates -- and needle the Falcons -- by supposedly sending derogatory T-shirts to the Atlanta defensive backs.
The Falcons said they never got the shirts, but White made it clear that he wanted to make Ochocinco pay for his jabbering. "We're going to go out there and want to run the score up on him for doing that," the receiver said during the week.
Not even big days from Ochocinco (10 catches, 108 yards) and Owens (nine catches, 88 yards) could overshadow White's performance. In fact, they weren't even the Bengals' top pass catcher -- Jordan Shipley piled up 131 yards on six catches, including a 64-yard touchdown.
Ochocinco downplayed the impact of his supposed gifts.
"I do that every week," he said. "That's really a challenge to them. There's nothing new about that."
Carson Palmer probably had a sore arm when this one was done. The Bengals quarterback completed 36 of 50 for 412 yards and three TDs. It wasn't enough, though.
Owens became just the fifth player in NFL history with 150 TDs when he hauled in a 19-yard scoring toss from Palmer. Ochocinco had an 8-yard touchdown catch with 1:33 remaining, but the Falcons recovered the onside kick and sacked Palmer on the final play.
Owens was at the center of perhaps the game's biggest play midway through the fourth quarter. Breaking into the clear, he made a twisting catch at the 5 and dove for the end zone. But in his haste to score, T.O.'s left foot caught the sideline and his effort -- which would have put Cincinnati in position for the tying TD -- was ruled incomplete.
Benson fumbled on the next play, and the Falcons drove the other way for the score that put them ahead by two touchdowns.
- The Falcons played without top CB Dunta Robinson, still recovering from a concussion sustained in his brutal hit on Philadelphia WR DeSean Jackson, one of the plays that led to the NFL's crackdown on helmet shots.
- Even with the new rules, Atlanta S Thomas DeCoud went out early in the game with a head injury after cracking helmets with Benson. No penalty was called.

- Learning a New Role
Starting a new job can be a high growth and learning opportunity. There are a number of strategies you can use to make a successful transition.
- Seek multiple perspectives about expectations for the role or function. Explore past history and ask about future directions.
- Find an informal mentor, - a trusted colleague who can help you navigate through the on-boarding process.
- Learn the culture. Find out about how important information is communicated and who needs to be involved. Ask about how new ideas are promoted and how problems are solved.
- Understand your "stakeholders." Role mapping is a way of capturing expectations for a job role. It is a planning process in which you identify key collegues who will likely influence the work you do. For each "stakeholder" you identify that person's expectations of your role, what they are looking for, and their criteria for success. A role map (PDF) helps you uncover multiple perspectives and clarifies work priorities.
- Enriching Your Current Job Role
Job Enrichment is a development strategy in which you expand the range of responsiblities and tasks in your current role. Enrichment includes:
- Project assignments
- Participating in committees or project teams
- Developing new skills or knowledge as part of an expanded role
- Rotating temporarily into a position or set of tasks

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
- Release Date: Nov 18, 2005
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Newell puts his own stamp on the franchise and delivers the best Potter movie yet filmed.
No, I couldn't be more pleased with what the screenwriter, Steven Kloves, and the director, Mike Newell, have wrought this time.
There's ample reason to stay with this series. When Harry says "I love magic," you believe it.
Harry IV is an intelligent, visually seductive and mostly very satisfying fantasy epic of the first order.
Last year's "The Prisoner of Azkaban" seemed dark, but this excellent fourth film derived from J.K. Rowling's books is the darkest "Potter" yet, intense enough to warrant a PG-13 rating.
It's not until Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire that a film has successfully re-created the sense of stirring magical adventure and engaged, edge-of-your-seat excitement that has made the books such an international phenomenon.
The studio, like plucky Harry, passes with flying colors. The new one, directed by Mike Newell from another astute script by Mr. Kloves, is even richer and fuller, as well as dramatically darker. It's downright scary how good this movie is.
Its look has the same grudging beauty that, once you get used to it, English weather does: It's so defiant in its grayness that you come to appreciate its conviction.
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter just keeps growing up. So do the Potter movies, in size, in ambition and in visual splendor - and with increasingly stunning results.
The film is more violent, less cute than the others, but the action is not the mindless destruction of a video game; it has purpose, shape and style.
The uncontestable triumph of Goblet of Fire, however, is Brendan Gleeson's Alastor (Mad-Eye) Moody, the grizzled new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Whenever it hits its stride, it's a well-acted, vividly executed, full-speed-ahead special-effects extravaganza that puts as much bang as possible into every remaining scene.
His (Ralph Fiennes) Voldemort may be the greatest screen performance ever delivered without the benefit of a nose; certainly it's a performance of sublime villainy.
In the grand scheme of things, Goblet of Fire is perhaps closest to the original "Sorcerer's Stone."
The film's quick pace and near-constant action carries you along quite nicely, and by the time Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) makes his climactic appearance, one can't help but look forward to the remaining films.
By a pleasing irony, the parts of the film that stay with you are concerned not with the dark arts but with something far more unstoppable: teen-agers.
Qualitatively different from its cinematic forbears: It doesn't linger on the gothic curlicues of its source material, it moves straightforwardly from place to place, and it emphasizes the emotional development of its characters with dramatic interplay rather than expressionistic, atmospheric gloom.
Fine for people of developing minds, but the story so often stops its forward motion to take us on long detours into the land of CGI effects that it amounts to a $150 million magic show.
The best thing about the picture is Harry's new maturity: For the first time, he dominates a picture named for him.
Goblet of Fire, fourth in the fantasy franchise, is the most fun and the most fraught with conflict.
It's hard to beat the last movie, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," and this film is not better, but it has much to recommend it.
Inventive visuals and funny bits abound, but the film's gritty look and unsentimental characterizations - Harry, Hermione and Ron are far from golden teens - ominously foreshadow the truly wicked shape of things to come.
It's a testament to the power of the story -- and this engaging adaptation -- that leaving Hogwarts is tough anyway.
A 157-minute holding pattern in which neither of the ongoing stories--Harry's conflict with the evil sorcerer Voldemort, the young schoolmates' coming of age at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft--progresses much.
Kids may be appropriately terrified, but to this overgrown Potter fan, Voldemort, the Darth Vader of the black arts, was a heck of a lot scarier when you couldn't see him.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I went into business with Roy Kanai after knowing him for some time. He worked for a prestigious company in Nairobi Kenya, The UN in a very seniour position as he described. I felt he was reputable and well connected and he promised my fair share of the business profits. We ventured into realestate with my personal contribution of several million Kenya Shillings. Long story short, he cooked the books on profits and said that we were running at a loss with very little income that could only be used for maintenance. He asked for more funds from me and I figured I had invested too much to lose it all over a couple of Kenya Shillings amounting to almost Ksh 200, 000.00 extra.
I still got no returns on my investments and when I asked him what was going wrong he started by lying then threats by abusing his title at his place of work, his infuence with some unscrupulous shady individuals and by a team of lawyers. He even brandished what I have seen in movies to be a high powered shotgun just letting me know in not so many words that he wouldnt hesitate to use it. He also had siblings in the US one of which he described as a blood thirsty maniac who would grace me with a visit.
I tried everything I could to get legal assistance but after the lawyers spoke to Roy Kanai, they were unwiling to proceed with my case. With nobody to turn to and out of options I had to concede defeat. This loss ruined me financially.
If you are even dreaming to go into business with this Kagualo please chukua pesa yako and run.

Call a spade a spade. This dude thinks he can threaten people after scamming them money. Just saw another posting of a disgruntled UNEP employee who mentioned a flanky who barely made it out of high school got a job as the assistant to the director wow. Roy even mentions he may have swindled his own flesh and blood, his brother. Those are his own words, not surprised. Someone needs to investigate how he got his job at the UNEP and fire him. There are more qualified candidates who worked hard in school that deserve the position.

Heroes and Villains Yesterday
Without any doubt, Pepe and Kuyt were the heroes of the game yesterday. Pepe made several wonderful saves, especially the kick outside the box facing Saha's boot. He was in peak form.
Kuyt was not just a scoring hero. He made two criticalclearances inside our own box. He also showed his brain to hold the ball well inside the opposition's half to kill the vital time with minimal risk.
The back four were very solid, even with Masch playing as right back. He had the 'no bullshit' type of defence learnt from Carra. Insua proved himself could defend well. Same for Agger. Gerrard played the defensive midfield since the red card, and did well.
Playing with one man down is difficult for the rest of the team, Kyrgiakos was the worst vallian. His tackle was foolish and unnecessary.
Did anyone see Maxi at all? I could not find him the whole day.
Ngog is back to be a dead wood. Babel could not find his position in the middle or on the left.
To be fair, Rafa did his sub arrangement pretty well. He was about to put Riera in for Maxi, and we had the goal. Instead of going through the substitution, he replaced Ngog with Babel to keep two Everton defneders in bay. However, I still could not understand why he did not start with Riera or Aquaman.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I loved the derby game and thought it was proper entertainment. When your teams been going through a lull thats exactly what you want to see. Kicked the carp out of the clowns at their own game. Mascherano killed it out there, I also was happy with Lucas and the entire defence. I disagree with the Ngog bashing bit earlier on, I thought he looked a threat and made pretty good of the scraps he was fed.

Maxi did have a quite match first half but in the second was very much involved and played some brilliant defence ripping passes.
Yes Pepe played well but let's be honest he has been like that all season.
Kuyt's goal was brilliant when you think he was being pulled and pushed by howard and veille but still managed to get his head on the ball and guide it into the net. Also he was everywhere, helping at the heart of our defence, cutting back into the centre of midfield putting in some good crosses on the attack.
But I think Masch deserves special mention
it was his best performance of the season IMHO, he was put as a make shift right back so mplayed out of position and never faltered, he even got a his name sang out by the whole of anfield when he made one crucial tackle just as Everton was begining to overrun our 25 yard box.
Yes the Greek made a stupid mistake, but Fellini should of been sent off as well.
Thought Agger had a good game as well and Jamie played to his usual standard.

I am really hoping that what we saw from Masch is him learning to curb his tendency to do the rash thing - to channel his agression. He could easily have launched straight into Pienaar for the tackle which could well have broken his (Masch's) leg, and degenerated into his gladiatorial 'I'll fight anyone/everyone' mode untill he was sent off, but he remained focused, did the job and put the team ahead of his pride. Good stuff, lets see more of it.
we all know why aquaman wasn't playing, he's to slight and would have picked up an injury within a few minutes of yesterdays brawl.
as for gerrard, does loads of good stuff, but can someone stop him diving ? I don't think so now. he does it too much.
A Yahoo! User Feb 7, 2010 17:30 Flag
Agree the defence were top notch, the only real chance for the bluesh*te came from Cahill apart from that our back 4 didnt look like getting breached at all.
Mascherano had an excellent game, the wok ethic of himself and Dirk Kuyt was second to none, a real pull your sleeves up display from either of them.
Gerrard, seems to be getting some sort of form the desire he showed yesterday was exactly what we needed from the Captain, an inspired display from the lad in my book.
Reina was as excellent as ever, couple of dodgy punches but thats to be expected, Maxi didnt have much ball time but the work ethic of the little Argentinian was good stuff and something I didnt think he had in his locker.
Still unsure about Ngog, just wish we had a more reliable backup striker so this lad would be able to watch and learn and be used as an impact substitute, Insua looked a lot more comfortable definsively is attacking game needs no working on at all, Lucas was his normal unspectacular self, Babel when came on made a few good runs but his first touch is pathetic at the moment, all in all happy with the 3 points and nothing really to complain about.

It turns out that the information is for a "new" card.
You tell them repeatedly to cancel the account/application after you have gotten fed up with them. They keep transfering you back and forth until you get fed up. Eventually you get a "supervisor" that says "I have cancelled the request".
Much to my surprise about 2 minutes pass, and there's a call back from the original person that I talked to "She can not cancel the application, I have already processed the charge"
The people involved from start to finish was Kevin, the first actor, then a "verifier" that I can't remember the name of, then a superviser named Karen.
The weird thing is, if you try to check the number after the call, it will show up as a number located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For reference, the number that appears is 647 435 2504.
Calling it does absolutely no good, as the number is "disconnected"
Overall, seems to be a nice scam by them.

usually when opening a picture in NGG, it used to open in the foreground (with chosen effect, e.g. faded page in the background). When closing the picture, the page would be shown at the same position as before opening the picture.
However, when opening a picture, it opens as expected in the foreground, but at the same time, the article in the background jumps to the top of the page. This is annoying, since the user has to scroll down again to the part of the page he/she has been reading before opening the picture.
I am using NGG 1.5.5 with Avenue Dialogue Theme and WP 3.0 , but the bug has been there before upgrading to WP 3.0.
Thank you.

float: left;
and tried each of the three below
display: block;

display: inline;
The forms no longer are to the far right, however, none of the display commands in conjunction with the float:left have made the forms go all the way to the left to line up with the headings.

Bass Fishing Lures and Baits
Crafting the Best Baits for Bass
The term bass refers to two main bass families. Temperate bass, including striped bass and white bass, are native to the Atlantic Ocean. Damming of streams and creeks has forced a portion of this species into freshwater lakes and streams. Black bass, such as the largemouth bass and small mouth bass, are exclusively freshwater natives. The largemouth bass inhabits most bodies of water in the United States and is easily the most sought after species of bass.
Bass are highly opportunistic feeders and will eat pretty much any tasty, live critter they see. Bugs, shad, crawlers, smaller fish and crawfish are some of their favorite foods. The environment and time of year can affect a bass's diet. In the summer, bass are fairly aggressive and will go after active prey. Largemouth bass eat a great deal of smaller fish, generally minnows near shorelines. In grassy areas and areas filled with lily pads, frogs are common prey for largemouth bass. Cold-blooded crawfish slow down in the late fall when water temperatures begin falling, making them easy prey for hungry smallmouth and largemouth bass.

Bass have a vast array of prey, making the best bass fishing bait dependant on the time of year and local environment. In the summer, when fishing near shorelines and in shallow bodies of water, any bass fishing bait accurately mimicking baitfish will be highly effective. Crank baits, spinner baits, bass jigs and jerk baits are especially good baitfish lookalikes. Bass jigs from Bass Stalker like the Rock Stalker are great for imitating the wounded or dying fish largemouth bass love to eat. In deep vegetation and among lily pads, Uncle Josh's pork frogs are highly effective bass fishing bait. When fishing for bass in the fall season, try out a Pork Crawdad from Uncle Josh to emulate the largemouth or smallmouth's favorite fall feast. For effective nighttime fishing, try bouncing a black ½ oz jig with the black pork trailer.
Spring Bass Fishing Lures
Spring is one of the best times for bass fishing. This is the time when bass are getting ready to spawn and begin spawning, making the fish exceptionally hungry.
During the prespawn, bass can be found in shallower waters for feeding when the water has warmed up in the late afternoon through evening. They will move to deeper water after feeding when the water is cooler. The best depth to fish bass during prespawn is around 7 to 12 feet. The best lures for prespawn bass fishing is a combination of a Kalin's jig and an Uncle Josh craw, or a hook bait rig and Pork MEAT worms. Crankbaits are also very effective during the prespawn.
During the spawn, most bass are bedded down in covered areas close to the bank. Spawning bass won't move too far away from their bed, and you can usually see where the beds are. These fish usually go after soft baits like Uncle Josh Frogs and Lizards or Pork Crawdads.
Right after spawning, during the pre-spawn period, bass move back to the same depths as they were during the prespawn period. You can go back to using jigs and craws, Texas or Carolina rigs, and crankbaits.
Near the tail end of spring, bass begin going to shallow water and the top of the water to feed very early in the morning, and move deeper in the late morning when the temperatures are high. Kalin's Jerk Minnows are a great choice for catching big bass in late spring. You can also start using top-water baits to catch bass feeding off the top.

All matches kick off at 19:45 unless specified
Click here for full Swindon v Chelsea matchpack
Aston Villa v Tottenham
Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is set to make sweeping changes to his line-up. Gabriel Agbonlahor and Antonio Luna are almost certain to sit out after returning from injury problems in Saturday's Premier League win at Norwich. Jed Steer is set to replace Brad Guzan in goal and there are also expected to be starting places for the likes of Nicklas Helenius and Yacouba Sylla.
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas will ring the changes at Aston Villa. The Spurs boss has expressed his frustration that the fixture takes place just two days after their Premier League win in Cardiff, and very few who featured in south Wales are likely to start at Villa Park. The likes of Brad Friedel, Erik Lamela, Lewis Holtby, Sandro and Vlad Chiriches could all start, but Jermain Defoe is a doubt due to a groin strain.
Hull City v Huddersfield
Hull manager Steve Bruce will ring the changes once again for his side's third round clash against his former club Huddersfield. Bruce's starting XI against Leyton Orient last time showed a full 11 changes from the Tigers' previous league match and with James Chester (hamstring) the latest of his first-team squad to suffer injury, he could follow the same plan at the KC Stadium. Senior men may take a place on the bench but the likes of Alex Bruce, Abdoulaye Faye, Connor Henderson, Matt Fryatt and Nick Proschwitz will be hoping to start, while Steve Harper is on hand to replace Allan McGregor in goal.
Huddersfield are expected to be without injured defender Joel Lynch. Lynch was withdrawn from Saturday's goalless draw at Blackburn after taking a bang on the knee and his replacement Calum Woods could return to the starting line-up. Winger Danny Ward hopes to shake off an ankle injury sustained last week in training in order to stake his claim, while manager Mark Robins has confirmed he will make several changes with Friday's home league game against Blackpool in mind. Midfielders Oliver Norwood and Oscar Gobern, plus striker Sean Scannell are among those hoping to feature and Robins, who has no other selection issues, could hand several youngsters a chance to shine.
Manchester City v Wigan
Manchester City defender Micah Richards could make his first appearance of the season in the tie against Wigan. Richards has missed the start of the season with hamstring trouble but was an unused substitute in the weekend derby win against Manchester United. Midfielder Jack Rodwell missed that game with a knock and could be doubtful while playmaker David Silva (thigh) and defender Gael Clichy (thigh) continue to be assessed. Changes are probable with the likes of Joleon Lescott, James Milner and Stevan Jovetic pushing for places.
Owen Coyle claims there will be no bluffing from him as he selects a Wigan XI for the third time in six days to face Manchester City in the League Cup. And Coyle confirmed that with Shaun Maloney, Grant Holt and Marc-Antoine Fortune still not fit enough to return at the Etihad Stadium, Wigan will boast a youthful side which could feature the likes of goalkeeper Lee Nicholls, midfielder Adam Buxton and forward Nouha Dicko.
Southampton v Bristol City
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino has a near full-strength squad to choose from. Danny Fox is the only injury absentee with an ankle knock, though fellow left-back
Bristol City will be without defender James O'Connor when they head to Southampton for their Capital One Cup clash. The Robins have yet to enjoy a league victory this season but have found their form in the cups with victories over Gillingham, Bristol Rovers and Crystal Palace. But they travel to St Mary's without O'Connor who will have a scan on an injury on Wednesday, one which is expected to sideline him for months. Louis Carey has a bug and will not feature while Aden Flint and Marvin Elliott are carrying knocks. Head coach Sean O'Driscoll is unlikely to make many unforced changes apart from Marlon Harewood and Elliot Parish, who have featured in their cup victories.
Almen Abdi remains on the sidelines for Watford's third-round clash at home to Norwich. The midfielder has missed the club's last three matches, including Saturday's 5-1 demolition of Barnsley, with a foot injury and will again watch from the stands when the Canaries come to town. Long-term absentees Nyron Nosworthy (Achilles) and Tommie Hoban (ankle) remain unavailable although the former has returned to training. Boss Gianfranco Zola is likely to make changes for the cup tie as the Hornets aim to make the fourth round for the first time since 2008.
Striker Gary Hooper will make his full debut for Norwich in Tuesday's Capital One Cup third-round clash at Watford. Team captain Sebastien Bassong limped out of the Canaries' defeat to Aston Villa with a hamstring problem and will therefore not feature against the Championship side. Striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel (toe) is unavailable and Elliott Bennett is out with cruciate ligament damage, but 18-year-old forward Josh Murphy could make his debut for Chris Hughton's side.
West Ham v Cardiff
West Ham are without suspended midfielder Mark Noble. Noble picked up a one-match ban after being sent off for two bookable offences in Saturday's loss to Everton. Midfielder Joe Cole (hamstring) and winger Stewart Downing (leg) are improving but are not yet ready while manager Sam Allardyce has suggested it is still too soon for striker Mladen Petric to start. Striker Andy Carroll (heel) and midfielder Alou Diarra (knee) are out.
Cardiff boss Malky Mackay is set to make a host of changes to his side. The likes of Nicky Maynard, Mark Hudson, Joe Lewis, Don Cowie, Jordon Mutch and Craig Noone are all be in contention to feature at Upton Park, while Mackay could opt to hand new signing Peter Odemwingie a first start. Andreas Cornelius is unlikely to be involved as the striker works to recover from the ankle injury picked up in the last round at Accrington.
Fulham v Everton (20:00)
Fulham boss Martin Jol is seeking a morale-boosting victory in the all-Premier League clash with Everton at Craven Cottage. While many top-flight bosses use the League Cup as an opportunity to rotate their squad, Jol is planning to send out a full-strength line-up which could be bolstered by the returns of striker Dimitar Berbatov, defender Aaron Hughes and midfielder Bryan Ruiz. Berbatov (hamstring), Hughes (thigh) and Ruiz (ankle) missed the trip to Stamford Bridge, along with defender Matthew Briggs (hernia) and first-choice goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg (shoulder), who are both still out.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez is ready to put faith in his squad as he plans to rotate players. However, the Spaniard will not be fielding a second-string side as Craven Cottage as it is likely midfielder Darron Gibson will make his long-awaited return from injury. He also insists loan-signing Romelu Lukaku is fully fit after a head injury and is raring to go again after scoring in the 3-2 win at West Ham. Martinez believes the fact they are facing fellow Premier League opposition will make it slightly easier in terms of preparation but he will be resting some of his more important players regardless despite there being almost a week until their next league match on Monday.

Claudia Schiffer looks back and where to find an in-car jacuzzi
- From: The Australian
- February 07, 2014
CLAUDIA Schiffer says she was so "innocent" she never realised people around her were taking drugs. The model rose to prominence in the late 1980s after being scouted in Dusseldorf, in her native Germany. Although one of the best-known models of the 90s, Schiffer says the parties and fame that came with her status didn't interest her. "I didn't really go to the parties - I'd go home after the shows. A lot of bad things can happen at fashion parties, but I wasn't aware of that at the time. I was so innocent. I wasn't aware that people were taking drugs around me and I was never offered anything. And I didn't like the taste of cigarettes or alcohol," she tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine. As part of an elite group of supermodels, Schiffer conquered the fashion industry along with Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova and Helena Christensen. They made it on to the pages of tabloid magazines as well as walking the runways, but Schiffer says the industry has completely changed.
"We dominated because it was all about fashion models then," she explains. "Actors and singers weren't in campaigns or on the covers of fashion magazines. I do think that girls are coming through, but there's so much more competition these days and so many more collections. A model can be successful for two seasons and then gone." Reminiscing about her modelling heyday, Schiffer says shoots would involve champagne and wine with people not overly concerned about their budgets. "The difference is that today it's very professional; people don't want to waste time and are always thinking about the budget. Back then it was more theatrical, there was champagne everywhere, everyone hung out. The flair of the 90s is missing now." CM CJB
HAVE you ever wanted to print your own money? While in the real world you might end up in the clink, in the virtual world creating or "mining" bitcoins or newer virtual currencies such as litecoins is a global pastime. So much so that the complex calculations needed to create virtual money performed by home-computer graphics cards reportedly led to a global shortage of said cards. Now you can buy special computer gear to speed up the process. Butterflylabs has bitcoin mining gear costing up to $US4255 ($4766). Litecoin mining in particular seems where the action is now.

WILD Bush Luxury's Bamurru Plains in the Northern Territory is converting from luxe safari camp to fishing lodge for the prime angling season between now and April. Bamurru Plains is on the lower reaches of Sampan Creek on the western boundary of Kakadu National Park. Guests have access to private fishing areas and the opportunity to catch prize barramundi, including optional heli-fishing. Also available are airboat excursions on the Swim Creek floodplains; the vessels are fitted with casting decks and all safaris are directed by John Cooper, a winner of the NT Barra Classic. wildbushfishing.com SUSAN KUROSAWA
WHY add a pool when you can buy this? With its a jacuzzi, BBQ and whiskey bar, this specially converted 1977 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Coupe comes with everything the sensitive new age petrolhead needs. You can kick back in the spa thumbing through Eat, Pray, Love while listening to the soothing melody of an 8.2-litre V8. When friends drop around, fire up the four-burner gas cooker and turn on the strobe lights. Inside, tasteful off-white upholstery contrasts with won't-show-the-wine stains red carpet. It's 7.3m long but parking isn't a problem because it cannot be road registered. Shannons expects it to go for a bargain $24,000-$32,000 at its Melbourne auction on February 17. PHILIP KING
BE careful if you are travelling to The Philippines. Seven of 10 recent cases of measles reported in NSW involved people who had travelled there, including three young kids who had to be admitted to hospital. Cases have also been reported in Western Australia and Queensland. "Measles is spread through coughing and sneezing, and is one of the most contagious infections known," says Sean Tobin from NSW Health. SEAN PARNELL

Around the web for the new year…
New Year's Resolutions- the reality is that few smokers actually quit because of a single moment of resolve, few obese people have become slim and healthy because of one dramatic moment of commitment, few people who were deeply in debt have changed their financial lifestyle because they resolved to do so as the old year gave way to the new, and few marriages have been changed by the means of one dramatic resolution.
How Not to Read Your Bible -When it comes to daily (or not-so-daily) Bible reading, January 1 can be a welcome arrival. A new year signals a new start. You're motivated to freshly commit to what you know is of indispensable importance: the Word of God.
Yet this isn't the first time you've felt this way. You were entertaining pretty similar thoughts 365 days ago. And 365 days before that. And 365 days . . . you know how it goes.
So what's going to make 2013 different? What, under God, will keep you plodding along in April this year when staying power has generally vanished in Aprils of yore? From one stumbling pilgrim to another, here are five suggestions for what not to do in 2013.
23 Reasons to Be Joyful-The book of Philippians has been my food for the past month, or so, in response to the encouragement of a faithful brother of mine. Having struggled my whole life with negative thought patterns, which come so easily—without any conscious effort—I am asking the Lord to train me in a pattern of joy.
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will. – Jonathan Edwards
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things. – Burroughs
Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. Proverbs 19:21
Let us test and examine our ways,
and return to the Lord!" Lamentations 3:40

Until recently the word pemphigus has referred to a conglomerate of diseases between which the only common bond of relationship seemed to be the occurrence of bullae. In fact, it is not long since every dermatosis displaying blebs or bullous lesions was likely to be classified as a form of pemphigus. Pusey states that Martius, for example, with scholastic zeal, enumerated ninety-seven varieties. At present the term is limited in its application to a few more clearly defined types of acute and chronic affections of the skin characterized "by the formation of one or several well defined, oval, rounded blebs, elevated or not above the level of the general surface, the lesions developing in successive cycles of eruption, and which may or may not be associated with general symptoms." Such, at least, is Ormsby's characterization of the malady.
Admittedly, little has been definitely ascertained about the etiology of pemphigus. There

CHENNAI: School children in Tamil Nadu - who were a confused lot since classes began in the new academic year as the Jayalalithaa government sought to reverse DMK's education system - may begin a normal schedule soon.
The Madras High Court on Monday directed the state government to implement the Samacheer Kalvi, or the uniform system of school education, visualised by the DMK government this academic year. The ruling is considered a major setback for the Jayalalithaa government, which had sought to annul the DMK-introduced syllabus, and taken the issue to the Supreme Court. While asking the state government to distribute the books by July 22, the high court said the government may upgrade books for use from the next academic year. The setback for Jayalalithaa was made doubly bitter by its coalition partner CPI, which hailed the high court directive that seeks implementation of the uniform system of school education.

Reforms could improve the use of contractor track records
After years of benign neglect from the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, it looks like the use of past-performance data in contractor selection might be back on the agenda. On July 1, the administration published an amendment to the Federal Acquisition Regulation that requires agencies to file past-performance report cards on their contractors in a central location, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System. The administration plans to spot-check some of the cards for completeness.
Past performance, I have frequently noted, is one of the most fundamental ways that free markets work to satisfy consumers: Providers who perform well get repeat business; those who don't, don't.
Past performance began to emerge as a topic of congressional interest about two years ago. Unfortunately, though not surprisingly, Congress was most concerned about the punitive element of past performance — punishing bad contractors — and not the other side, rewarding good ones for performing well.
If the new administration plans to shine a spotlight on improving use of past performance, that would be great news. It works well in cases when its use is informal and nonbureaucratic, such as when agencies choose suppliers from whom to solicit bids from for task orders under a General Services Administration schedule contract.
The problem has been with the formalized system embedded in the FAR. Let's be honest about the fundamental problem: Evaluators aren't honest. Government customers seldom say negative things about contractors, and they too seldom say wildly positive things. Thus, report cards aren't enough of a differentiator in source selection to influence outcomes often, thus vitiating their incentive effect.
Putting flawed past-performance reports in the same place will just centralize flawed documents. If the administration is serious, two broader reforms are needed. The first is to eliminate the right of the contractor to appeal a negative rating, or any negative information, to a level above the organization that issued the report card. Frontline staff members rightly conclude that negative comments constitute an invitation to spend hundreds of hours defending their judgments, so they skip the hassle. The current system should be replaced by a simple right for contractors to place their versions of events in the file, but nothing else. The extra layer of due process is harmful.
To get the details of outstanding performance on important contracts, the government should conduct verbal interviews of program and contracting officials. Trained interviewers can get information that doesn't come out through current practices, and that would improve the quality of information in past-performance reports.
Past performance has a lot of potential as a tool to produce better supplier performance. It's worth the effort to do it right.

I paid and sent my computer in. It was supposed to be turned around in a week, but after 2+ weeks of e-mails and phone calls, I finally received my computer back. It would not boot when I reinstalled the hard drive. Using the BIOS I discovered that my motherboard had been downgraded from an Intel 1.8GHz core 2 to a 1.6 GHz AMD.
Mike from Ebiznex agreed to take my computer back, install the original motherboard, and REPLACE the video card on it to fix it properly.
After another several weeks and several e-mails and phone calls, I finally received my computer back (the delays were reportedly for testing). The computer will no longer power up. When you press the power button, the LED lights flash, then immediately go out and nothing further happens.
My computer is dead and worthless. It was ruined by this company. They promised a guarantee.
I tried many times to contact them, but they no longer answer. Their phone number has been disconnected (and removed from their web site--which is still alive). They have not replied to a single e-mail.
There were also myriad other problems along the way. This business seems to be a scam.

Article: AMP-activated protein kinase mediates the antioxidant effects of resveratrol through regulation of the transcription factor FoxO1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Numerous physiological functions are controlled by redox-responsive signaling pathways. Disruption of redox balance by oxidative stress is recognized as a major cause of many pathological conditions, including aging, highlighting the importance of investigating how antioxidants maintain redox homeostasis. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated in response to cellular conditions that accompany energy depletion and plays a central role in regulation of energy homeostasis, tumorigenesis, and longevity. Recently, several antioxidants have been reported to activate AMPK, but the mechanisms by which AMPK acts to adjust the levels of cellular reactive oxygen species are not fully characterized. In this study, we investigated the role of AMPK in mediating resveratrol-induced antioxidant effects and the molecular mechanisms underlying its actions. We demonstrate that AMPK activity plays an indispensable role in the operation of the ROS defense system by inducing expression of the antioxidant enzymes, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and catalase, in response to resveratrol or the AMPK agonist 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribonucleotide (AICAR). In addition, we identified the mechanism involved in the antioxidant function of AMPK, demonstrating that AMPK directly phosphorylates human FoxO1 (forkhead box O1) at Thr649in vitro and increases FoxO1-dependent transcription of MnSOD and catalase. Mutagenesis studies showed that this AMPK-mediated phosphorylation of FoxO1 is critical for FoxO1 stability and nuclear localization, establishing the molecular basis for the induction of FoxO1 transcriptional activity. Our results reveal a novel FoxO1-dependent mechanism by which AMPK controls expression of antioxidant enzymes and suggest that AMPK has an important role in maintaining redox homeostasis.This article is protected by copyright.

Article: AMP-activated Protein Kinase 2 and E2F1 Transcription Factor Mediate Doxorubicin-induced Cytotoxicity by Forming a Positive Signal Loop in Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts and Non-carcinoma Cells*[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Doxorubicin is one of the most widely used anti-cancer drugs, but its clinical application is compromised by severe adverse effects in different organs including cardiotoxicity. In the present study, we explored mechanisms of doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity by revealing a novel role for the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α2 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF). Doxorubicin robustly induced the expression of AMPKα2 in MEFs, but slightly reduced AMPKα1 expression. Our data support the previous notion that AMPKα1 harbors survival properties under doxorubicin treatment. In contrast, analyses of Ampkα2-/- MEFs, gene knock-down of AMPKα2 by shRNA, and inhibition of AMPKα2 activity with an AMPK inhibitor indicated that AMPKα2 functions as a pro-apoptotic molecule under doxorubicin treatment. Doxorubicin induced AMPKα2 at the transcription level via E2F1, a transcription factor that regulates apoptosis in response to DNA damage. E2F1 directly transactivated the Ampkα2 gene promoter. In turn, AMPKα2 significantly contributed to stabilization and activation of E2F1 by doxorubicin, forming a positive signal amplification loop. AMPKα2 directly interacted with and phosphorylated E2F1. This signal loop was also detected in H9c2, C2C12, and ECV cells, as well as mouse liver under doxorubicin treatment. Resveratrol, which has been suggested to attenuate doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity, significantly blocked induction of AMPKα2 and E2F1 by doxorubicin, leading to protection of these cells. This signal loop appears to be non-carcinoma specific because AMPKα2 was not induced by doxorubicin in five different tested cancer cell lines. These results suggest that AMPKα2 may serve as a novel target for alleviating the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin.
Article: AMP-activated protein kinase determines apoptotic sensitivity of cancer cells to ginsenoside-Rh2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Ginseng saponins exert various important pharmacological effects with regard to the control of many diseases, including cancer. In this study, the anticancer effect of ginsenosides on human cancer cells was investigated and compared. Among the tested compounds, ginsenoside-Rh2 displays the highest inhibitory effect on cell viability in HepG2 cells. Ginsenoside-Rh2, a ginseng saponin isolated from the root of Panax ginseng, has been suggested to have potential as an anticancer agent, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, we have shown that cancer cells have differential sensitivity to ginsenoside-Rh2-induced apoptosis, raising questions regarding the specific mechanisms responsible for the discrepant sensitivity to ginsenoside-Rh2. In this study, we demonstrate that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a survival factor under ginsenoside-Rh2 treatment in cancer cells. Cancer cells with acute responsiveness of AMPK display a relative resistance to ginsenoside-Rh2, but cotreatment with AMPK inhibitor resulted in a marked increase of ginsenoside-Rh2-induced apoptosis. We also observed that p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) acts as another survival factor under ginsenoside-Rh2 treatment, but there was no signaling crosstalk between AMPK and p38 MAPK, suggesting that combination with inhibitor of AMPK or p38 MAPK can augment the anticancer potential of ginsenoside Rh2.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Introduction: AMPK is a key player in the regulation of energy balance at both the cellular and whole-body levels, placing it at the center stage in studies of metabolic disorders. Recently, AMPK has also been identified as a potential target for either therapy or prevention of some types of cancer. Thus, identification of AMPK modulators for possible use as novel therapeutic drugs, both for treatment of metabolic disorders and cancer, will have a high commercial potential. Areas covered: This review covers the structures and activities of AMPK modulators described in the patent literature since 2006. The patents reviewed include those for direct and/or indirect activators of AMPK, and novel pharmaceutical compounds with potential for use in the prevention and/or treatment of metabolic disorders, and cancer targeting AMPK. Expert opinion: Targeting of AMPK appears to be an attractive strategy in the treatment of metabolic disorders. However, some detrimental effects of AMPK have also been reported, including a possible tumor-promoting effect in some settings and a heart disease-causing effect. Moreover, activation of AMPK in the hypothalamus may cause undesired consequences, such as an increase in feeding and body weight gain. These effects, therefore, must be carefully assessed for the development of therapeutic drugs targeting AMPK.
Article: The Antioxidant Effects of Genistein Are Associated with AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Activation and PTEN Induction in Prostate Cancer Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Epidemiological evidence suggests a lower incidence of prostate cancer in Asian countries, where soy products are more frequently consumed than in Western countries, indicating that isoflavones from soy have chemopreventive activities in prostate cells. Here, we tested the effects of the soy isoflavone genistein on antioxidant enzymes in DU145 prostate cancer cells. Genistein significantly decreased reactive oxygen species levels and induced the expression of the antioxidant enzymes manganese (Mn) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, which were associated with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN) pathways. The induced expression of catalase, MnSOD, and PTEN were attenuated by pretreatment with a pharmacological inhibitor for AMPK, indicating the effects of genistein primarily depend on AMPK. Furthermore, PTEN is essential for genistein activity, as shown by PTEN transfection in PTEN-deficient PC3 cells. Thus, genistein induces antioxidant enzymes through AMPK activation and increased PTEN expression.
Article: AMP-activated Protein Kinase Antagonizes Pro-apoptotic Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase Activation by Inducing Dual-specificity Protein Phosphatases in Response to Glucose Deprivation in HCT116 Carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are involved in the regulation of cellular responses, including cell proliferation, differentiation, cell growth, and apoptosis. Because these responses are tightly related to cellular energy level, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which plays an essential role in energy homeostasis, has emerged as another key regulator. In the present study, we demonstrate a novel signal network between AMPK and MAPK in HCT116 human colon carcinoma. Glucose deprivation activated AMPK and three MAPK subfamilies, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 MAPK. Under these conditions, inhibition of endogenous AMPK by expressing a dominant-negative form significantly potentiated ERK activation, indicating that glucose deprivation-induced AMPK is specifically antagonizing ERK activity in HCT116 cells. Moreover, we provide novel evidence that AMPK activity is critical for p53-dependent expression of dual-specificity phosphatase (DUSP) 1 & 2, which are negative regulators of ERK. Notably, ERK exhibits pro-apoptotic effects in HCT116 cells under glucose deprivation. Collectively, our data suggest that AMPK protects HCT116 cancer cells from glucose deprivation, in part, via inducing DUSPs, which suppresses pro-apoptotic ERK, further implying that a signal network between AMPK and ERK is a critical regulatory point in coupling the energy status of the cell to the regulation of cell survival.
Article: Inulin Increases Glucose Transport in C2C12 Myotubes and HepG2 Cells via Activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase and Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Pathways[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Inulin, a naturally occurring, functional food ingredient found in various edible plants, has been reported to exert potential health benefits, including decreased risk of colonic diseases, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and cancer. However, the mechanism of the antidiabetic activity of inulin has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we showed that inulin increased the uptake of glucose in C2C12 myotubes, which was associated with both AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) signaling pathways, but both of these pathways appeared to transmit their signals in an independent manner. Moreover, we found that inulin was able to increase the uptake of glucose in C2C12 myotubes in which insulin resistance was induced by exposing cells to high glucose concentrations. The identical effects of inulin were also observed in HepG2 hepatoma cells. Collectively, we report the antidiabetic activity of inulin and further demonstrate for the first time that such activity is associated with AMPK and PI3-K activation.
Article: AMP kinase signaling determines whether c-Jun N-terminal kinase promotes survival or apoptosis during glucose deprivation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: As solid tumors outgrow the surrounding vasculature, they encounter microenvironments with a limited supply of nutrients. Therefore, in order to survive, tumor cells need to adapt to glucose-deprived environments. In the present study, we examined the signaling pathways that lead to cancer cell survival in response to glucose deprivation. We primarily focused on the roles of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), its upstream kinase LKB1 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Herein, we showed that in DU145 human prostate carcinomas, glucose deprivation activated JNK with biphasic kinetics. We demonstrated that the early phase of JNK activation promoted cell survival, whereas the late phase of JNK activation induced apoptosis. Our data further showed that AMPK relayed a survival signal transmitted by early activation of JNK and that the sustained AMPK signal in turn inhibited the proapoptotic property of JNK via a negative feedback mechanism involving reactive oxygen species. We induced this negative feedback inhibition by expressing LKB1 ectopically in DU145 cells. In conclusion, our results demonstrated how AMPK controls the molecular mechanism underlying the differential biological functions of JNK, and they also provided a novel explanation for the antiapoptotic role of LKB1.
Article: Reactive oxygen species stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha protein and stimulate transcriptional activity via AMP-activated protein kinase in DU145 human prostate cancer cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) plays a central role in the cellular adaptive response to hypoxic conditions, which are closely related to pathophysiological conditions, such as cancer. Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the regulation of hypoxic and non-hypoxic induction of HIF-1 under various conditions, the role of ROS is quite controversial, and the mechanism underlying the HIF-1 regulation by ROS is not completely understood yet. Here, we investigated the biochemical mechanism for the ROS-induced HIF-1 by revealing a novel role of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the upstream signal components. AMPK plays an essential role as energy-sensor under adenosine triphosphate-deprived conditions. Here we report that ROS induced by a direct application of H(2)O(2) and menadione to DU145 human prostate carcinoma resulted in accumulation of HIF-1alpha protein by attenuation of its degradation and activation of its transcriptional activity in an AMPK-dependent manner. By way of contrast, AMPK was required only for the transcriptional activity of HIF-1 under hypoxic condition, revealing a differential role of AMPK in these two stimuli. Furthermore, our data show that inhibition of AMPK enhances HIF-1alpha ubiquitination under ROS condition. Finally, we show that the regulation of HIF-1 by AMPK in response to ROS is under the control of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and Janus kinase 2 pathways. Collectively, our findings identify AMPK as a key determinant of HIF-1 functions in response to ROS and its possible role in the sophisticated HIF-1 regulatory mechanisms.
Article: Inhibition of AMP-activated Protein Kinase Sensitizes Cancer Cells to Cisplatin-induced Apoptosis via Hyper-induction of p53[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Cisplatin is one of the most effective and widely used chemotherapeutic agents. However, one of the most salient limitations to the clinical application of cisplatin is the acquired or intrinsic drug resistance exhibited by some tumors. In the present study, we have assessed the potential of an intracellular energy balancing system as a target for augmentation of cisplatin sensitivity in tumors. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates the energy balance system by monitoring intracellular energy status. Here we demonstrate that AMPK is rapidly activated by cisplatin in AGS and HCT116 cancer cells. The inhibition of AMPK in those cells and in xenografts of HCT116 resulted in a remarkable increase in cisplatin-induced apoptosis, which was associated with hyper-induction of the tumor suppressor p53. We further showed that ERK, but not ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) and ATR (ATM- and Rad3-related) kinases, was involved in the hyper-induction of p53 by the inhibition of cisplatin-induced AMPK. By way of contrast, cisplatin did not induce AMPK activation in HeLa cells, which appear to have a relatively high sensitivity to cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity, but expression of the constitutive active form of AMPK in HeLa cells resulted in a significant increase of cell viability after cisplatin treatment. Collectively, our data suggest that AMPK performs a pivotal function for protection against the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin, thereby implying that AMPK is one of the cellular factors determining the cellular sensitivity to cisplatin. On the basis of these observations, we propose that a strategy combining cisplatin and AMPK inhibition could be developed into a novel chemotherapeutic modality.
Article: Critical roles of AMP-activated protein kinase in the carcinogenic metal-induced expression of VEGF and HIF-1 proteins in DU145 prostate carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Epidemiological and experimental animal data indicate that exposure to both metals and metalloid species exacerbates the risk of human diseases, particularly cancers. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which performs a primary function in both tumor progression and angiogenesis, is up-regulated due to exposure to an array of carcinogenic metals, but the mechanisms responsible for the metal activation remain somewhat poorly understood. Recently, we demonstrated that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which acts as an energy sensor, providing metabolic adaptation effects under ATP-deprived conditions, is critical for the expression of VEGF under oxygen- and glucose-deprived conditions. As carcinogenic metals are potent VEGF expression inducers, we hypothesized that AMPK would also play a crucial role in metal-induced VEGF expression. Here, we present evidence that carcinogenic metals such as arsenite, vanadate, and cobalt, induce AMPK activation and VEGF expression via several different mechanisms, and that AMPK is able to regulate the expression of VEGF mRNA in a hypoxia-inducible factor-1-dependent or -independent manner, depending on the metal applied. We also attempted to characterize the relevant signal transduction pathways in metal-induced VEGF expression and AMPK activation, as well as the role of reactive oxygen species within this context. Overall, our data suggest that AMPK is a critical regulatory component in metal-induced VEGF expression, which further implies its intrinsic involvement in metal-induced carcinogenesis.
Article: Glucose Deprivation Increases mRNA Stability of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor through Activation of AMP-activated Protein Kinase in DU145 Prostate Carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The induction of proangiogenic cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical feature of tumor angiogenesis. In the present study, we examined the mechanisms of VEGF gene expression induced by glucose deprivation in cancer cells, a role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the process, and the signal transduction pathway. AMPK functions as an energy sensor to provide metabolic adaptation under ATP-depleting conditions such as hypoxia and nutritional deprivation. Here, we show that glucose deprivation leads to a significant increase in the mRNA level of VEGF, GLUT1, and PFKFB3 genes in several cancer cells via a hypoxia-inducible factor-1-independent mechanism, and we demonstrate an essential role of AMPK in these gene expressions. Our data suggest that VEGF mRNA induction by glucose deprivation is due to an increase in mRNA stability, and the AMPK activity is necessary and sufficient to confer the stability to VEGF mRNA. We further show that reactive oxygen species is involved in glucose deprivation-induced AMPK activity in DU145 human prostate carcinomas, and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase acts as an upstream component in AMPK activation cascades under these conditions. LKB1, which was recently identified as a direct upstream kinase of AMPK, was not detected in DU145 cells. In conclusion, our results demonstrate a novel and major role of AMPK in the post-transcriptional regulation of VEGF, further implying its potential role in tumor angiogenesis.
