Tidbits from the interim committee meetings
The August Interim Committee Meetings in Bridgeport this past week included a few tidbits that didn't make it into earlier stories:
The state Division of Corrections wants to create a short-term loan program to help those on parole find housing and employment.
Corrections Commissioner Jim Rubenstein briefly spoke on the topic during a presentation Monday to the Joint Standing Committee on the Judiciary.
The loans are made possible through Senate Bill 371 which passed in 2013. Rubenstein said often the conditions of parole include finding housing, and often to find employment individuals must show an address of residence. Securing an apartment usually requires a deposit or a first month's rent payment up front.
Sometimes parolees violate their parole simply by not being able to achieve these steps, he said.
"A lot of time it is absolutely critical for them to find adequate housing and employment," Rubenstein said. "If we could provide these short-term loans, maybe $200-300 for an apartment, it could go a long way to helping them meet the terms of their parole."

During a tour of Heston Farms Winery in Fairmont, members of the state Legislature's Joint Standing Committee on the Judiciary met a former soldier with an interesting background. While owner Mickey Heston was describing the wine-making process, Jade, a 14-year-old German shepherd, made her way through the legislators, stopping only briefly at each person before moving on to the next.
Heston said Jade was a bomb sniffing dog who had been stationed in Iraq, and after several years of service was retired and came to West Virginia.
As Heston spoke, Jade finished weaving in and out of the group and walked outside.
"You think she was being friendly," Heston said, "but she actually was checking your shoes and pockets for explosives."
Heston said he has seen the dog "alert" to people before, so apparently that day everyone was clean.

What is the best holiday for buying a gun?
According to officials at the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services division in Clarksburg, background check requests for gun purchases spike every year on Valentine's Day.
"Nothing says love like an AR-15," said Stephen Morris, assistant director of CJIS.
Every time a person attempts to legally purchase a firearm, they are processed through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS. Morris said in the past 11 months the department has processed more than 18 million background checks for gun purchases. Of those, only 1 percent, about 1,800, have been rejected, and in some instances led to local law enforcement being contacted due to someone with an outstanding warrant for a violent offense attempting to purchase a firearm.
Morris said the department often sees an increase in firearm purchases following national gun tragedies, such as school shootings, and said he believes that is due to fears over the possibility of increased gun legislation and restrictions. Officials said they do not know why Feb. 14 annually sees the most gun purchases. The division tracks purchases by date and by state, but not by motivation.
- ??
Many legislators left Monday's interim session in Bridgeport a little early to prepare for a party. E. Gordon Gee, the new president of West Virginia University, held a legislative reception Monday evening at the president's home in Morgantown.
Officials said hundreds of people attended the event at Gee's residence, and by all accounts it was a great party.
Gee's reception wasn't the only festive event attended by legislators during the interim session. A reception also was held Tuesday evening at Heston Farms Winery in Fairmont after the tour earlier in the day.

how do i get my computer to recognise japanese characters?
March 25th, 2010, 11:37 PM
You'll need to get some Japanese fonts.(And for web browsers make sure the character encoding is UTF-8 or one of the japanese ones but that depends on the website)
March 26th, 2010, 1:31 AM
You could use google :D Anyways if you have Windows, go to control panel and click something like world/lang settings. Then in the second or third tab there should be a box with the text "easte-asian text support" or something. Just tick the box and let it install some files. After that you have to reboot the computer. Hope this helps
March 26th, 2010, 5:16 AM
If you have the Windows installation CD, just install the support for Japanese language from the list of languages to install.
March 26th, 2010, 5:43 AM
You mean for Japanese games or in general?
General means you need to get the language on the computer. I'm pretty sure Japanese came with one of the service packs if it's not already on the computer. If not, you can probably search the Microsoft site for the japanese language pack (or google search it)
For games, on the other hand you need to set your non-unicode programs to Japanese.
Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Administrative -> Change System Locale -> Japanese (Japan)
That's for Windows 7 anyways. Vista is similar if i recall correctly, not sure about XP anymore.
Pretty much you have to go into the Control Panel and find your languages thing and change your Language for Non-Unicode Programs to Japanese.
Gerri Shin
March 26th, 2010, 8:19 AM
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X all comes with Japanese characters already installed and ready to use, For Windows XP though you have to install it via the language setting in the control panel. Depending on your computer you may or may not need the install/ restore discs to get the Asian language characters. (it's a one stop step for installing all Asian characters: Japanese, Chinese, etc.)

Neural Control of Blood Pressure in Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia.
Neural Control of Blood Pressure in Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia.
Curr Hypertens Rep. 2016 Mar;18(3):19
Authors: Shell B, Faulk K, Cunningham JT
Sleep apnea (SA) is increasing in prevalence and is commonly comorbid with hypertension. Chronic intermittent hypoxia is used to model the arterial hypoxemia seen in SA, and through this paradigm, the mechanisms that underlie SA-induced hypertension are becoming clear. Cyclic hypoxic exposure during sleep chronically stimulates the carotid chemoreflexes, inducing sensory long-term facilitation, and drives sympathetic outflow from the hindbrain. The elevated sympathetic tone drives hypertension and renal sympathetic activity to the kidneys resulting in increased plasma renin activity and eventually angiotensin II (Ang II) peripherally. Upon waking, when respiration is normalized, the sympathetic activity does not diminish. This is partially because of adaptations leading to overactivation of the hindbrain regions controlling sympathetic outflow such as the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), and rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). The sustained sympathetic activity is also due to enhanced synaptic signaling from the forebrain through the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). During the waking hours, when the chemoreceptors are not exposed to hypoxia, the forebrain circumventricular organs (CVOs) are stimulated by peripherally circulating Ang II from the elevated plasma renin activity. The CVOs and median preoptic nucleus chronically activate the PVN due to the Ang II signaling. All together, this leads to elevated nocturnal mean arterial pressure (MAP) as a response to hypoxemia, as well as inappropriately elevated diurnal MAP in response to maladaptations.

Glycosyltransferase ST6GAL1 contributes to the regulation of pluripotency in human pluripotent stem cells.
Glycosyltransferase ST6GAL1 contributes to the regulation of pluripotency in human pluripotent stem cells.
Sci Rep. 2015;5:13317
Authors: Wang YC, Stein JW, Lynch CL, Tran HT, Lee CY, Coleman R, Hatch A, Antontsev VG, Chy HS, O'Brien CM, Murthy SK, Laslett AL, Peterson SE, Loring JF
Many studies have suggested the significance of glycosyltransferase-mediated macromolecule glycosylation in the regulation of pluripotent states in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Here, we observed that the sialyltransferase ST6GAL1 was preferentially expressed in undifferentiated hPSCs compared to non-pluripotent cells. A lectin which preferentially recognizes α-2,6 sialylated galactosides showed strong binding reactivity with undifferentiated hPSCs and their glycoproteins, and did so to a much lesser extent with differentiated cells. In addition, downregulation of ST6GAL1 in undifferentiated hPSCs led to a decrease in POU5F1 (also known as OCT4) protein and significantly altered the expression of many genes that orchestrate cell morphogenesis during differentiation. The induction of cellular pluripotency in somatic cells was substantially impeded by the shRNA-mediated suppression of ST6GAL1, partially through interference with the expression of endogenous POU5F1 and SOX2. Targeting ST6GAL1 activity with a sialyltransferase inhibitor during cell reprogramming resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Collectively, our data indicate that ST6GAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of pluripotency and differentiation in hPSCs, and the pluripotent state in human cells can be modulated using pharmacological tools to target sialyltransferase activity.

Allele frequencies for 15 autosomal STR loci and haplotype data for 17 Y-STR loci in a population from Belize.
Allele frequencies for 15 autosomal STR loci and haplotype data for 17 Y-STR loci in a population from Belize.
Int J Legal Med. 2015 Nov;129(6):1217-8
Authors: Flores S, Sun J, King J, Eisenberg A, Budowle B
Allele frequencies for 15 autosomal STR loci (N = 290) and haplotype data for 17 Y-STR loci (N = 157) were determined for an admixed population from Belize. There were no detectable departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations at any autosomal STR loci except for the D8S1179 locus (p = 0.002). The combined power of discrimination (PD) and combined power of exclusion (PE) were greater than 0.99999999 and 0.99999951, respectively. In addition, a total of 144 distinct Y-STR haplotypes were observed with 133 Y-STR haplotypes observed only once. The most common Y-STR haplotype was observed three times for two separate haplotypes. The various analyses of these forensically relevant STR loci showed that these markers are informative in the Belize population for forensic and parentage testing applications.

The many faces of the trabecular meshwork cell.
The many faces of the trabecular meshwork cell.
Exp Eye Res. 2016 Jul 18;
Authors: Stamer WD, Clark AF
With the combined purpose of facilitating useful vision over a lifetime, a number of ocular cells have evolved specialized features not found elsewhere in the body. The trabecular meshwork (TM) cell at the irido-corneal angle, which is a key regulator of intraocular pressure, is no exception. Examination of cells in culture isolated from the human TM has shown that they are unique in many ways, displaying characteristic features of several different cell types. Thus, these neural crest derived cells display expression patterns and behaviors typical of endothelia, fibroblasts, smooth muscle and macrophages, owing to the multiple roles and two distinct environments where they operate to maintain intraocular pressure homeostasis. In most individuals, TM cells function normally over a lifetime in the face of persistent stressors, including phagocytic, oxidative, mechanical and metabolic stresses. Study of TM cells isolated from ocular hypertensive eyes has shown a compromised ability to perform their daily duties. This review highlights the many responsibilities of the TM cell and its challenges, progress in our understanding of TM biology over the past 30 years, as well as discusses unanswered questions about TM dysfunction that results in IOP dysregulation and glaucoma.

The efficacy of novel anatomical sites for the assessment of muscle oxygenation during central hypovolemia.
The efficacy of novel anatomical sites for the assessment of muscle oxygenation during central hypovolemia.
Exp Biol Med (Maywood). 2016 Jul 19;
Authors: Sprick JD, Soller BR, Rickards CA
Muscle tissue oxygenation (SmO2) can track central blood volume loss associated with hemorrhage. Traditional peripheral measurement sites (e.g., forearm) may not be practical due to excessive movement or injury (e.g., amputation). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three novel anatomical sites for the assessment of SmO2 under progressive central hypovolemia. 10 male volunteers were exposed to stepwise prone lower body negative pressure to decrease central blood volume, while SmO2 was assessed at four sites-the traditional site of the flexor carpi ulnaris (ARM), and three novel sites not previously investigated during lower body negative pressure, the deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and trapezius. SmO2 at the novel sites was compared to the ARM sensor and to stroke volume responses. A reduction in SmO2 was detected by the ARM sensor at the first level of lower body negative pressure (-15 mmHg; P = 0.007), and at -30 (the deltoid), -45 (latissimus dorsi), and -60 mmHg lower body negative pressure (trapezius) at the novel sites (P ≤ 0.04). SmO2 responses at all novel sites were correlated with responses at the ARM (R ≥ 0.89), and tracked the reduction in stroke volume (R ≥ 0.87); the latissimus dorsi site exhibited the strongest linear correlations (R ≥ 0.96). Of the novel sensor sites, the latissimus dorsi exhibited the strongest linear associations with SmO2 at the ARM, and with reductions in central blood volume. These findings have important implications for detection of hemorrhage in austere environments (e.g., combat) when use of a peripheral sensor may not be ideal, and may facilitate incorporation of these sensors into uniforms.

Stem geometry changes initial femoral fixation stability of a revised press-fit hip prosthesis: A finite element study.
Stem geometry changes initial femoral fixation stability of a revised press-fit hip prosthesis: A finite element study.
Technol Health Care. 2016 Jul 8;
Authors: Russell RD, Huo MH, Rodrigues DC, Kosmopoulos V
BACKGROUND: Stable femoral fixation during uncemented total hip arthroplasty is critical to allow for subsequent osseointegration of the prosthesis. Varying stem designs provide surgeons with multiple options to gain femoral fixation.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the initial fixation stability of cylindrical and tapered stem implants using two different underreaming techniques (press-fit conditions) for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA).
METHODS: A finite element femur model was created from three-dimensional computed tomography images simulating a trabecular bone defect commonly observed in revision THA. Two 18-mm generic femoral hip implants were modeled using the same geometry, differing only in that one had a cylindrical stem and the other had a 2 degree tapered stem. Surgery was simulated using a 0.05-mm and 0.01-mm press-fit and tested with a physiologically relevant loading protocol.
RESULTS: Mean contact pressure was influenced more by the surgical technique than by the stem geometry. The 0.05-mm press-fit condition resulted in the highest contact pressures for both the cylindrical (27.35 MPa) and tapered (20.99 MPa) stems. Changing the press-fit to 0.01-mm greatly decreased the contact pressure by 79.8% and 78.5% for the cylindrical (5.53 MPa) and tapered (4.52 MPa) models, respectively. The cylindrical stem geometry consistently showed less relative micromotion at all the cross-sections sampled as compared to the tapered stem regardless of press-fit condition.
CONCLUSIONS: This finite element analysis study demonstrates that tapered stem results in lower average contact pressure and greater micromotion at the implant-bone interface than a cylindrical stem geometry. More studies are needed to establish how these different stem geometries perform in such non-ideal conditions encountered in revision THA cases where less bone stock is available.

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection, Immigration Status, and Diagnostic Discordance: A Comparison of Tuberculin Skin Test and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube Test Among Immigrants to the U.S.
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection, Immigration Status, and Diagnostic Discordance: A Comparison of Tuberculin Skin Test and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube Test Among Immigrants to the U.S.
Public Health Rep. 2016 Mar-Apr;131(2):303-10
Authors: Wilson FA, Miller TL, Stimpson JP
OBJECTIVE: We used a recent source of nationally representative population data on tuberculosis (TB) infection to characterize concordance between the tuberculin skin test (TST) and the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) blood test for immigrants in the United States.
METHODS: We used TB screening data from the 2011-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to examine concordance between the TST and QFT-GIT--an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) blood test--for 7,097 U.S. natives, naturalized citizens, and noncitizens.
RESULTS: Consistent with prior findings, one in five immigrants in the survey was identified with latent TB infection (LTBI), a rate 14 times higher than for U.S. natives. We also found higher rates of discordant TST/IGRA results among immigrants than among U.S. natives. Unadjusted discordance between TST and IGRA was 3% among U.S. natives (weighted N=5,684,274 of 191,179,213) but ranged up to 19% for noncitizens (weighted N=3,722,960 of 19,377,147). Adjusting for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, noncitizens had more than nine times the odds of having a positive TST result but negative QFT-GIT result compared with U.S. natives.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that whether and how either of these tests should be deployed is highly context sensitive. Significant discordance in test results when used among immigrants raises the possibility of missed opportunities for harm reduction in this already at-risk population. However, we found little distinction between the tests in terms of diagnostic outcome when used in a U.S. native population, suggesting little benefit to the adoption and use of the QFT-GIT test in place of TST on the basis of test performance alone for this population.

The effects of metal ion PCR inhibitors on results obtained with the Quantifiler(®) Human DNA Quantification Kit.
The effects of metal ion PCR inhibitors on results obtained with the Quantifiler(®) Human DNA Quantification Kit.
Forensic Sci Int Genet. 2015 Nov;19:180-9
Authors: Combs LG, Warren JE, Huynh V, Castaneda J, Golden TD, Roby RK
Forensic DNA samples may include the presence of PCR inhibitors, even after extraction and purification. Studies have demonstrated that metal ions, co-purified at specific concentrations, inhibit DNA amplifications. Metal ions are endogenous to sample types, such as bone, and can be introduced from environmental sources. In order to examine the effect of metal ions as PCR inhibitors during quantitative real-time PCR, 2800 M DNA was treated with 0.0025-18.750 mM concentrations of aluminum, calcium, copper, iron, nickel, and lead. DNA samples, both untreated and metal-treated, were quantified using the Quantifiler(®) Human DNA Quantification Kit. Quantification cycle (Cq) values for the Quantifiler(®) Human DNA and internal PCR control (IPC) assays were measured and the estimated concentrations of human DNA were obtained. Comparisons were conducted between metal-treated and control DNA samples to determine the accuracy of the quantification estimates and to test the efficacy of the IPC inhibition detection. This kit is most resistant to the presence of calcium as compared to all metals tested; the maximum concentration tested does not affect the amplification of the IPC or quantification of the sample. This kit is most sensitive to the presence of aluminum; concentrations greater than 0.0750 mM negatively affected the quantification, although the IPC assay accurately assessed the presence of PCR inhibition. The Quantifiler(®) Human DNA Quantification Kit accurately quantifies human DNA in the presence of 0.5000 mM copper, iron, nickel, and lead; however, the IPC does not indicate the presence of PCR inhibition at this concentration of these metals. Unexpectedly, estimates of DNA quantity in samples treated with 18.750 mM copper yielded values in excess of the actual concentration of DNA in the samples; fluorescence spectroscopy experiments indicated this increase was not a direct interaction between the copper metal and 6-FAM dye used to label the probe that targets human DNA in the Quantifiler(®) kit. Evidence of inhibition was observed for the human-specific assay at a lower metal concentration than detected by the IPC, for all metals examined except calcium. These results strongly suggest that determination of a "true negative" sample should not be based solely on the failure of the IPC to indicate the presence of a PCR inhibitor and indicate that amplification of all samples should be attempted, regardless of the quantification results.

An evaluation of the PowerSeq™ Auto System: A multiplex short tandem repeat marker kit compatible with massively parallel sequencing.
Forensic Sci Int Genet. 2015 Nov;19:172-9
Authors: Zeng X, King J, Hermanson S, Patel J, Storts DR, Budowle B
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) and multiplex amplification with fluorescent tagging have been routinely used for STR typing in forensic genetics. However, CE-based methods restrict the number of markers that can be multiplexed simultaneously and cannot detect any intra-repeat variations within STRs. Several studies already have indicated that massively parallel sequencing (MPS) may be another potential technology for STR typing. In this study, the prototype PowerSeq(™) Auto System (Promega) containing the 23 STR loci and amelogenin was evaluated using Illumina MiSeq. Results showed that single source complete profiles could be obtained using as little as 62 pg of input DNA. The reproducibility study showed that the profiles generated were consistent among multiple typing experiments for a given individual. The mixture study indicated that partial STR profiles of the minor contributor could be detected up to 19:1 mixture. The mock forensic casework study showed that full or partial profiles could be obtained from different types of single source and mixture samples. These studies indicate that the PowerSeq Auto System and the Illumina MiSeq can generate concordant results with current CE-based methods. In addition, MPS-based systems can facilitate mixture deconvolution with the detection of intra-repeat variations within length-based STR alleles.

Native American population data based on the Globalfiler(®) autosomal STR loci.
Forensic Sci Int Genet. 2016 Jun 27;
Authors: Ng J, Oldt RF, McCulloh KL, Weise JA, Viray J, Budowle B, Smith DG, Kanthaswamy S
Native American population data are limited and thus impact computing accurate statistical parameters for forensic investigations. Thus, additional information should be generated from geographically representative tribes in North America, particularly from those that are not included in existing population databases for forensic use. The Globafiler(®) PCR Amplification kit was used to produce STR genotypic data for 533 individuals who represent 31 Native American tribal populations derived from eight geographically diverse regions in North America. Population genetic estimates from 21 autosomal STRs are reported.

HDAC Inhibitor-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation of Glaucoma-Associated TGFβ2 in the Trabecular Meshwork.
HDAC Inhibitor-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation of Glaucoma-Associated TGFβ2 in the Trabecular Meshwork.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2016 Jul 1;57(8):3698-3707
Authors: Bermudez JY, Webber HC, Patel GC, Liu X, Cheng YQ, Clark AF, Mao W
Purpose: Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) results from glaucomatous damage to the trabecular meshwork (TM). The glaucoma-associated factor TGFβ2 is increased in aqueous humor and TM of POAG patients. We hypothesize that histone acetylation has a role in dysregulated TGFβ2 expression.
Methods: Protein acetylation was compared between nonglaucomatous TM (NTM) and glaucomatous TM (GTM) cells using Western immunoblotting (WB). Nonglaucomatous TM cells were treated with 10 nM thailandepsin-A (TDP-A), a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor for 4 days. Total and nuclear proteins, RNA, and nuclear protein-DNA complexes were harvested for WB, quantitative PCR (qPCR), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, respectively. Paired bovine eyes were perfused with TDP-A versus DMSO, or TDP-A versus TDP-A plus the TGFβ pathway inhibitor LY364947 for 5 to 9 days. Intraocular pressure, TM, and perfusate proteins were compared.
Results: We found increased acetylated histone 3 and total protein acetylation in the GTM cells and TDP-A treated NTM cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that TDP-A induced histone hyperacetylation associated with the TGFβ2 promoter. This change of acetylation significantly increased TGFβ2 mRNA and protein expression in NTM cells. In perfusion-cultured bovine eyes, TDP-A increased TGFβ2 in the perfusate as well as elevated IOP. Histologic and immunofluorescent analyses showed increased extracellular matrix and cytoskeletal proteins in the TM of TDP-A treated bovine eyes. Cotreatment with the TGFβ pathway inhibitor LY364947 blocked TDP-A-induced ocular hypertension.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that histone acetylation has an important role in increased expression of the glaucoma-associated factor TGFβ2. Histone hyperacetylation may be the initiator of glaucomatous damage to the TM.

Biomarkers in Sporadic and Familial Alzheimer's Disease.
J Alzheimers Dis. 2015;47(2):291-317
Authors: Lista S, O'Bryant SE, Blennow K, Dubois B, Hugon J, Zetterberg H, Hampel H
Most forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are sporadic (sAD) or inherited in a non-Mendelian fashion, and less than 1% of cases are autosomal-dominant. Forms of sAD do not exhibit familial aggregation and are characterized by complex genetic and environmental interactions. Recently, the expansion of genomic methodologies, in association with substantially larger combined cohorts, has resulted in various genome-wide association studies that have identified several novel genetic associations of AD. Currently, the most effective methods for establishing the diagnosis of AD are defined by multi-modal pathways, starting with clinical and neuropsychological assessment, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, and brain-imaging procedures, all of which have significant cost- and access-to-care barriers. Consequently, research efforts have focused on the development and validation of non-invasive and generalizable blood-based biomarkers. Among the modalities conceptualized by the systems biology paradigm and utilized in the "exploratory biomarker discovery arena", proteome analysis has received the most attention. However, metabolomics, lipidomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics have recently become key modalities in the search for AD biomarkers. Interestingly, biomarker changes for familial AD (fAD), in many but not all cases, seem similar to those for sAD. The integration of neurogenetics with systems biology/physiology-based strategies and high-throughput technologies for molecular profiling is expected to help identify the causes, mechanisms, and biomarkers associated with the various forms of AD. Moreover, in order to hypothesize the dynamic trajectories of biomarkers through disease stages and elucidate the mechanisms of biomarker alterations, updated and more sophisticated theoretical models have been proposed for both sAD and fAD.

Investigation of the Dermal Absorption and Irritation Potential of Sertaconazole Nitrate Anhydrous Gel.
Pharmaceutics. 2016;8(3)
Authors: Manian M, Madrasi K, Chaturvedula A, Banga AK
Effective topical therapy of cutaneous fungal diseases requires the delivery of the active agent to the target site in adequate concentrations to produce a pharmacological effect and inhibit the growth of the pathogen. In addition, it is important to determine the concentration of the drug in the skin in order to evaluate the subsequent efficacy and potential toxicity for topical formulations. For this purpose, an anhydrous gel containing sertaconazole nitrate as a model drug was formulated and the amount of the drug in the skin was determined by in vitro tape stripping. The apparent diffusivity and partition coefficients were then calculated by a mathematical model describing the dermal absorption as passive diffusion through a pseudo-homogenous membrane. The skin irritation potential of the formulation was also assessed by using the in vitro Epiderm™ model. An estimation of the dermal absorption parameters allowed us to evaluate drug transport across the stratum corneum following topical application. The estimated concentration for the formulation was found to be higher than the MIC100 at the target site which suggested its potential efficacy for treating fungal infections. The skin irritation test showed the formulation to be non-irritating in nature. Thus, in vitro techniques can be used for laying the groundwork in developing efficient and non-toxic topical products.

The Effect of the Sigma-1 Receptor Selective Compound LS-1-137 on the DOI-Induced Head Twitch Response in Mice.
The Effect of the Sigma-1 Receptor Selective Compound LS-1-137 on the DOI-Induced Head Twitch Response in Mice.
Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 2016 Jul 7;
Authors: Malik M, Rangel-Barajas C, Mach RH, Luedtke RR
Several receptor mediated pathways have been shown to modulate the murine head twitch response (HTR). However, the role of sigma receptors in the murine (±)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI)-induced HTR has not been previously investigated. We examined the ability of LS-1-137, a novel sigma-1 vs. sigma-2 receptor selective phenylacetamide, to modulate the DOI-induced HTR in DBA/2J mice. We also assessed the in vivo efficacy of reference sigma-1 receptor antagonists and agonists PRE-084 and PPCC. The effect of the sigma-2 receptor selective antagonist RHM-1-86 was also examined. Rotarod analysis was performed to monitor motor coordination after LS-1-137 administration. Radioligand binding techniques were used to determine the affinity of LS-1-137 at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. LS-1-137 and the sigma-1 receptor antagonists haloperidol and BD 1047 were able to attenuate a DOI-induced HTR, indicating that LS-1-137 was acting in vivo as a sigma-1 receptor antagonist. LS-1-137 did not compromise rotarod performance within a dose range capable of attenuating the effects of DOI. Radioligand binding studies indicate that LS-1-137 exhibits low affinity binding at both 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. Based upon the results from these and our previous studies, LS-1-137 is a neuroprotective agent that attenuates the murine DOI-induced HTR independent of activity at 5-HT2 receptor subtypes, D2-like dopamine receptors, sigma-2 receptors and NMDA receptors. LS-1-137 appears to act as a sigma-1 receptor antagonist to inhibit the DOI-induced HTR. Therefore, the DOI-induced HTR can be used to assess the in vivo efficacy of sigma-1 receptor selective compounds.

Evolving Evidence for the Value of Neuroimaging Methods and Biological Markers in Subjects Categorized with Subjective Cognitive Decline.
Evolving Evidence for the Value of Neuroimaging Methods and Biological Markers in Subjects Categorized with Subjective Cognitive Decline.
J Alzheimers Dis. 2015 Sep 24;48 Suppl 1:S171-91

There is evolving evidence that individuals categorized with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are potentially at higher risk for developing objective and progressive cognitive impairment compared to cognitively healthy individuals without apparent subjective complaints. Interestingly, SCD, during advancing preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD), may denote very early, subtle cognitive decline that cannot be identified using established standardized tests of cognitive performance. The substantial heterogeneity of existing SCD-related research data has led the Subjective Cognitive Decline Initiative (SCD-I) to accomplish an international consensus on the definition of a conceptual research framework on SCD in preclinical AD. In the area of biological markers, the cerebrospinal fluid signature of AD has been reported to be more prevalent in subjects with SCD compared to healthy controls; moreover, there is a pronounced atrophy, as demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging, and an increased hypometabolism, as revealed by positron emission tomography, in characteristic brain regions affected by AD. In addition, SCD individuals carrying an apolipoprotein ɛ4 allele are more likely to display AD-phenotypic alterations. The urgent requirement to detect and diagnose AD as early as possible has led to the critical examination of the diagnostic power of biological markers, neurophysiology, and neuroimaging methods for AD-related risk and clinical progression in individuals defined with SCD. Observational studies on the predictive value of SCD for developing AD may potentially be of practical value, and an evidence-based, validated, qualified, and fully operationalized concept may inform clinical diagnostic practice and guide earlier designs in future therapy trials.

Primary Cutaneous Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma With a MYC-IGH Rearrangement and Gain of BCL2: Expanding the Spectrum of MYC/BCL2 Double-Hit Lymphomas.
Am J Dermatopathol. 2016 Jul 7;
Authors: Testo N, Olson LC, Subramaniyam S, Hanson T, Magro CM
Aggressive extracutaneous B-cell lymphomas span the various stages of B-cell ontogeny and include B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas represent the most common histologic subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, comprising 30% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States. A distinctive form of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the double-hit lymphoma, with most cases exhibiting a combined MYC and BCL2 rearrangement, leading some hematopathologists to propose the term MYC/BCL2 lymphoma. More recently, MYC rearrangement with multiple copies/gain of BCL2 or multiple copies/gain of MYC with a BCL2 rearrangement have been described and exhibit a very similar clinical course to conventional double-hit lymphomas. We report the seventh case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma exhibiting this distinct cytogenetic abnormality and the first reported case in the skin. The patient's clinical course was aggressive, succumbing to disease 18 months after his initial presentation.

No increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure for patients treated with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in Taiwan.
No increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure for patients treated with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in Taiwan.
Int J Cardiol. 2016 Jun 24;220:14-20
Authors: Chang CH, Chang YC, Lin JW, Caffrey JL, Wu LC, Lai MS, Chuang LM
BACKGROUND: Saxagliptin has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF). The objective of this study was to test whether the increased risk is drug specific or a class effect for dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors.
METHODS: Diabetic patients prescribed sitagliptin, saxagliptin, and vildagliptin between 2011 and 2013 were identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) claims database. The outcome of interest was the first hospitalization for HF. The patients were followed for one year from drug initiation to outcome occurrence, death, or study termination (December 31, 2013). A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HR) and their 95% confidence intervals, using sitagliptin as the reference group.
RESULTS: A total of 239,669 patients, including 159,330 sitagliptin, 38,561 saxagliptin, and 41,778 vildagliptin initiators, were included in the analysis. With a follow-up period ranging from 269days (vildagliptin) to 313days (sitagliptin), the crude incidence rate of HF was 2.77, 2.63, and 1.91 per 100 person-years for sitagliptin, saxagliptin, and vildagliptin, respectively. Saxagliptin had a similar risk (HR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.91-1.06) to sitagliptin, while vildagliptin was associated with a lower risk of HF (HR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.78-0.93). Auxiliary analyses using acarbose (n=130,800) as a reference group consistently showed no increased risk of HF associated with DDP-4 inhibitors.
CONCLUSION: Three DPP-4 inhibitors studied seem to be safe regarding the risk of HF, while the reduced risk of vildagliptin might be a spurious association or a chance finding.

Very deceptive!!
"Ive been a powerseller for 15 years on Ebay and just had our first dealings w Aztec Computers. Their ebay user name is sanjay109 and they buy their refurb equip on ebay and have it dropped shipped to you/their unsuspecting consumer. Fine by me but if your going to pay $999.95 for a DMX-I 4208 printer likely hes just going to buy it from a seller like me for $300 or less and cross his fingers it works as it should.
His buyer had a problem with the unit they bought from us and he was the biggest brown star I've ever had to deal with. Problem was the lady that bought the big heavy printer dropped it & blamed it on the shipping/packaging, total bs since I shipped it so it was nearly bomb proof. One of dozens were shipped out.
Then it gets returned and its not even the printer that was shipped to them...wtf ...absolute worst & so was his customer.
Im going to report them to their state BBB, their State's Attorney General,
ic3.gov report & US postal inspector online fraud
You've been warned"
Very good support even after the order
"The follow up of our order was handled very well and Aztek garantueed the delivery dates and verified the quality of the deliverables. When a component was missing Aztek delivered the missing element on short term"
"Good company, good service, good people... keep it up. recommended to everyone. Thank you aztek computers."
"It was a wonderful experience shopping with aztek computers. 5 out of 5 for service ;)"
"Found a product on their web site. Great price, beating their competitors. Ordered the part and was invoiced. Then, received an email stating that the part was not available, and that the vendor increased the cost by approximately $40. They explained to me that I could either pay the difference, or cancel the order. Very disappointed that they offered a part for a price, then stating it was out of stock and that justified the ability for them to charge me an additional $40 on my order. I would not do business with this vendor."
"When I had a question about a hard-to-find part for my copier, they responded to my email almost immediately, which in itself, almost blew my mind! But when they actually had a part that I, literally, could not find ANYWHERE, I was thrilled. AND they shipped it to me in 3 days. The customer service was outstanding, and I am a very happy customer."
"We love aztekcomputers the have great products."
"I was looking for quantity two of a hard to find item and called to confirm availability since the website showed a large number in stock. The customer service rep stated that the item was in stock so I placed an order. Four days later I had not received any kind of shipping update so I called customer service again. I was told that the item was out of stock and may take weeks to ship. I confirmed that the website still showed stock and asked my order to be cancelled. This company obviously has no handle on whether items are in stock and the stock status on the website is an outright lie.
"They have terrible customer service. After not sending the item I bought through rakuten.com (after waiting 3 times the estimated shipping time) I contacted them asking for an update and they never replied. I had to get help from rakuten.com to contact me on their behalf and they still didn't respond. 15 days later they responded to rakuten.com and lied saying they already sent me an email but they never did. They are liars and very shady. Do NOT do business with them."
"Horrible customer service. Went back and forth with them after my card couldn't go through. I couldn't understand the person from the call center. Even went through Paypal over the phone and they still couldn't figure it out. It took 3 days of messing around before I finally cancelled my order. Save yourself some time and a headache and buy from somebody else. You will thank me later."
"Well, they did have the item i needed and couldn't find anywhere else, but...not only was the price jacked up (i can almost allow for the fact that they were the only source) but the shipping is ridiculous. $12 shipping for an item that weighs ounces, isn't all that fragile, and costs $35?"
"I've never ordered from you, so this is my first. The price is great!!! thanks, Diane"
"I placed an international order, about 10 days later my credit card got hacked.
listen to all the reviews and don't give them your card details.
"POOR SERVICE!!!! placed a order for a keyboard said it was in stock on line a couple days later no update on the status of the order so i emailed them and got a automatic response saying it is out of stock. Well I asked whats the time frame im looking at when are you getting any other in and so on. I have sent a total of 5 emails tried calling them no luck either, out of those 5 emails I got 1! automatic response and that was it. I even ordered A keyboard from CHINA and they updated me on my status and they didnt even type in any way proper English! at least they tried to update me on my order....here no they can care less about you no CUSTOMER SERVICES what so ever. And my keyboard from CHINA already came in the mail and where is my order from this place? yup hasent changed in 2 weeks havent even shipped it out yet. They just want your money! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE go anywhere but here!!! To be honest giving them 1 star is being way way way too nice. Dont trust this place at all you will be disappointed just like the rest of us. THIS PLACE SUCKS! STAY AWAY!!!!!"
"Tried to order two laptop harddrives.
Website was wonky and kept returning "page not found" messages when I tried to finalize the order. Finally switched my payment method and the order completed.
Went to account order status to doublecheck particulars, and found the orders previously listed as "page not found" listed as completed.
Called 800 number to ask that duplicate orders be cancelled, got message, left message with order numbers and my phone number for a callback.
Heard nothing from Aztek for over a week. Website still listed duplicate orders. Attempts to cancel online resulted in "page not found" message again. Called 800, got human, found none of the drives had even been shipped, a week later.
Cancelled orders and called Walmart to order a unit I could pickup to satisfy customer today. "

Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History is a 1989 book on the evolution of Cambrian fauna by Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. The volume was the 1991 winner of The Aventis Prizes for Science Books, and a 1991 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Gould's thesis in Wonderful Life was that chance was one of the decisive factors in the evolution of life on earth. He based this argument on the wonderfully preserved fossil fauna of the Burgess Shale, animals from around 505 million years ago, just after the Cambrian explosion. Gould argued that although the Burgess animals were all exquisitely adapted to their environment, most of them left no modern descendants and, more importantly, surviving creatures did not seem better adapted than their now extinct contemporaneous neighbors.
Gould proposed that given a chance to "rewind the universe" and flip the coin of natural selection again, we might find ourselves living in a world populated by descendants of Hallucigenia rather than Pikaia. This seems to indicate that fitness for existing conditions does not ensure long-term survival, especially when conditions change rapidly, and that the survival of many species depends more on chance events and features, which Gould terms exaptations, fortuitously beneficial under future conditions than on features best adapted under the present environment (see also extinction event).
Gould regarded Opabinia as so important to understanding the Cambrian explosion that he wanted to call his book Homage to Opabinia.[1]
Wonderful Life stimulated much debate about the nature of progress and contingency in evolution. Gould's conclusion, if the history of life were replayed over again that human level intelligence would likely not arise, proved controversial. In a review of the book, the British biologist Richard Dawkins wrote that:
Wonderful Life is a beautifully written and deeply muddled book. To make unputdownable an intricate, technical account of the anatomies of worms, and other inconspicuous denizens of a half-billion-year-old sea, is a literary tour-de-force. But the theory that Stephen Gould wrings out of his fossils is a sorry mess.[2]
Some of the anatomical reconstructions cited by Gould were soon challenged as being incorrect, most notably Simon Conway Morris' reconstruction of Hallucigenia.[3] However, the ultimate theme of the book is still being debated among evolutionary thinkers today.[3]
Full House (1996) was deemed a companion book to Wonderful Life by the author.

From Kinshasa
'Tired of pre-conceptions around African music, Mbongwana Star are creating their own identity, fusing traditional Congolese rhythms with post punk and electronics inspired by life in the townships around them, "making magic out garbage"'—some tracks on YouTube: Malukayi (ft. Konono No. 1); Shégué; Nganshe; Kala. You can listen to their debut album From Kinshasa in full on Soundcloud (some reviews 1, 2, 3). [more inside]
The Magic of the Groove
A look back at the funky, psychedelic, soulful 70s in Nigeria
According to the Daptone Gold compilation liner notes (auto-playing music, click on "Biography"to read the notes), written by Pitchfork contributor Douglas Wolk, "the world capital of soul" has moved from the US ("between Memphis and Detroit, with occasional stopovers in New Orleans, Cincinnati and elsewhere") in the 1960, to Lagos in the 1970s, then it went into hiding, finally reappearing in Brooklyn, with Daptone Records. Let's go back - why Lagos in the 1970s? [more inside]
I beg-ee, oh, make you hear me well!
Forty eight, uh-huh, count 'em, FORTY EIGHT Fela records are now available for streaming. Make you hear this one!
Scotland's Young Fathers: modern moody mix of hip-hop, afrobeat and R&B
Graham Hastings, Alloysious Massaquoi and Kayus Bankole are a musical trio from Scotland. They first met at a local hip-hop night for under-16 youth in Edinburgh, where the music scene is more focused on indie rock than beats and rapping. They started collaborating a few years ago, and now go by the name Young Fathers. They mix rap, grime, modern R&B, afro-beat, noisy samples and more, though they write music from a pop-perspective, and consider themselves "pop boys." They have two short releases that are something between EPs and albums, plus a handful of singles. Their primary releases, Tape One and Tape Two, have been (re)released on the US label Anticon, and they have a handful of official videos: Deadline, Sister, Rumbling and Romance are the first four tracks from Tape One; I Heard is the first video from Tape Two; The Guide is separate single to stream and/or download, for free on Soundcloud.
Africa In Your Earbuds
OkayAfrica keeps up to date with pop culture and news from across the continent. Africa In Your Earbuds gives DJs and musicians from across the diaspora the chance to curate a playlist or mixtape of their favorite African and African diaspora music.

"In Calabar they have over two hundred inches of rain a year. This night they proved it. Everybody got soaked. It's a wonder no one got electrocuted."
Seven intense minutes of Fela Kuti and The Africa '70 performing in a night club in Calabar, a small Nigerian port city, in 1971, filmed by Ginger Baker. Seven years later, in one of their last performances before The Africa '70 disbanded, they performed at the Berlin Jazz Festival: V.I.P. (Vagabonds In Power), Power Show, Pansa Pansa (part 2), Cross Examination of the African Colonial Soldier.
Fela Soul
Amerigo Gazaway combined the music of Fela Kuti and De La Soul to create Fela Soul. All the tracks along with liner notes and album commentary are available free for download here. [more inside]
Fela! the aftrobeat musical
Fela! is a musical based on a period in Fela Kuti's life when the musician faced off against Nigerian government soldiers. The musical was off-Broadway for a month in 2008, and about a year later opened on Broadway, running until January of 2011. Nominated for a number of awards, the musical presented a number on the 2010 Tony Awards show, where it won 3 awards. The show is now touring, including an opening in Nigeria just before the recent elections. If you can't catch it touring, the Broadway cast recording is streaming. Bonus: M.O.P (Movement of the People), Fela's 37 minute long song for the political party he founded. [more inside]
Music Is the Weapon: Fela documentary from 1982

The Dark Continent
No Condition is Permanent. World music, and African music in particular, often falls into two categories: pleasant and inoccuous, or the fetishized other. Even speaking of "African" music is misleading. Senegalese mbalax doesn't sound that much like Camaroonian makossa. And I don't say this as some great authority; I'm still just at the beginning of the learning curve. So come along with me. There's the broad Benne Loxo du Taccu, the sidebar of Mudd Up!, the great (and self-explanitory) African Hiphop, Stern's Music (this link going to a more accessible Thione Seck), Aduna (for Francophones— my middle-school French gets me by, but I'm really there for the music), Du Bruit (more Francophones, with an emphasis on vinyl sharities), and Worldly Disorientation (which covers all sorts of world music, but has some excellent African stuff). Have I missed anything great? Recommend it in the thread. I tend to prefer the psychedelic and dubby stuff more than straight folk styles, but that's me.

The next President of the United States:
If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!
UPDATE: Here's the full press conference. Hillary hasn't done one in 245 days.
Searching for "presidential candidates" doesn't bring up the leading candidate. Now that people are complaining, Google seems to have disabled the feature entirely.
UPDATE: After they were caught and exposed, they fixed it. This all makes sense when you learn that Google's Chairman, Eric Schmidt, is on the Democrats' Victory Task Force.
You can help keep this on the air in Wisconsin. It's one of the best ways to stop amnesty for illegal aliens: If Paul Ryan is Eric Cantor-ed, no Republican Congressman will vote for amnesty in the foreseeable future. The primary is on August 9th.
47-40 according to the Los Angeles Times tracking poll. Strangely enough, there is no actual story about this in the LAT. They're censoring their own poll!
Hillary confidante Terry McAuliffe:
"I worry that if we don't do TPP, at some point China's going to break the rules — but Hillary understands this. Once the election's over, and we sit down on trade, people understand a couple things we want to fix on it but going forward we got to build a global economy."
Hillary claims to oppose TPP.
Be sure to share with friends:
They're plotting to destroy America:
"Senators are already talking about how, after January, if Hillary is president, we should work on immigration reform quickly."
You can make sure that never happens.
…that even Bill Clinton has been reduced to spewing argle-bargle like "best darn change-maker".
@Jack and you and your friends are bigots.If you don't like me why the fuck do you watch let alone contact me. Kill yourself bigot
Sheriff David Clarke, on the parade of failed mothers on stage at the DNC:
"The theme tonight, with this group that's going to get up and speak is compassion for criminals. Every one of these individuals, nearly every one of these individuals whose mother will speak was engaged in questionable lifestyle choices. Mike Brown was a criminal who tried to disarm a law enforcement officer. Eric Garner resisted arrest, Freddie Gray resisted arrest."
"We know what the true Hillary Clinton is, not the one all made up in a blue suit on asking for black people to vote and saying she has hot sauce in her pocketbook."
But the outraged crowd shouts down the chants. This video is being censored by the German media, but we Americans have Breitbart.

Kevin Fowler Spoofs Country Music in 'Sellout Song' Video [Exclusive Premiere]
Kevin Fowler doesn't exactly bite the hand that feeds him in his new video for "Sellout Song," but he does give it a playful slap.
Kevin Fowler doesn't exactly bite the hand that feeds him in his new video for "Sellout Song," but he does give it a playful slap.
Did you know there are over 60,000 species of weevils on earth? There are. And now, there is one species living right here in Texas that shares its name with one of our favorite Texas rednecks...
Kevin Fowler is so excited about his upcoming album, he can contain it no longer. This week the Panhandle Poorboy posted three new songs to his website...
Before the show at Denim & Diamonds on March 5th, Kevin Fowler called in and talked with Drew
Today Texas turns a sprightly 180 years young. It was on March 2, 1836, with the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence, settlers in Mexican Texas officially broke ties with Mexico and formed the most bad ass state in the union.
Kevin Fowler and Deryl Dodd aren't selling their new single, no everybody does that. The guys posted a video from Fowler's Rustic Ranch making sure you know that their new collaboration is FREE to fans...
Today Kevin Fowler and Deryl Dodd release a brand lyric video for their new radio single "Damn This Ol' Honky Tonk Dream." Classic Fowler and Dodd, give it a listen...
If you aren't up to date on #JadeHelm15, it has many conspiracy theorists in Texas, and abroad, worried of a federal government take-over of the Lone Star State.
Good luck with this one. If your dad is anything like mine you have a hard enough time taking a pic of the two of you to put on "spacebook," let alone a music video (see the pic below).
Is the Redneck Messiah testing political waters? Is Kevin Fowler running for Rockwall City Council?
Larry Joe Taylor Fest is annually one of the biggest Texas and Red Dirt Music festivals, and it's back. Known for bringing out the scene's biggest stars and brightest up-and-comers to Melody Mountain Ranch in Stephenville, LJT never disappointments.
The Redneck Messiah is back with the followup to his 2014 No. 1 smash, 'Panhandle Poorboy.' For his latest radio single and music video, 'Before Somebody Gets Hurt,' Fowler calls on Amy Rankin of the Rankin Twins for help. Give the video a watch, then watch as the song soars up the Texas charts.

The skies are gray, the work week's been long and our tired minds are screaming for an escape that only a frosty pint and a flat-screen can provide. Given that NFL season is waning, and that we're so very close to downtown here at the office, we decided to go with an oldie and a goodie this week. See you at the taps.
This week: The Missoula Club
Atmosphere: Arguably one of Missoula's go-to watering holes for University of Montana football fans, the Mo Club boasts wall upon wall of Griz memorabilia, from team photos and coach portraits to signed footballs and helmets. No surprise really that the bar has inherited so much material; the Mo Club's been around since 1890. If you want a spirited game day experience, or the chance to rub shoulders with past and present Griz players, this is the place to be.
Who's serving: Jace Palmer is a familiar face in these parts. Besides his Mo Club career, he played as a defensive end for the Griz from 2005 to 2009. He racked up 5.5 sacks in his final season, as well as one interception, making him the perfect bartender for the regular lunch crowd of shop-talking NFL fans.
What you're drinking: "We're pretty meat and potatoes around here," Palmer says, noting that the bar doesn't have any happy hour special. Nor, he adds, do they have much in the way of a specialty mixer. True to the football den feel, most folks drink bottled domestics from the old-school wood-and-glass cooler. The Mo Club was, however, one of the first local bars to offer microbrews on tap back in the 1990s. If it's a real cold one you're looking for, they also have milkshakes for $4 and malts for $4.25.
What you're eating: The fabled Mo Club burger is a Missoula staple, repeatedly winning a Best of Missoula distinction from Independent readers. This place cooks the onion right into the patty for extra flavor. And that special horseradish cheese? Don't even get us started…
Claim to fame: Never mind the state big wigs like Gov. Brian Schweitzer and Sen. Jon Tester that occasionally stop in here. Back in summer 2008—when his wife Hillary was battling Pres. Barack Obama in the Democratic primaries—Bill Clinton made a casual and unannounced appearance at the Mo Club. He tried the burger, but went with a beverage choice that must have puzzled regulars: a diet Pepsi.
Where to find it: 139 W. Main St., about half a block off Higgins.

This is a beautiful story about love and hope that's been 23 years in the making. When Alex Powell turned 15 his doctor told him he had cancer and needed to start chemotherapy straight away. It was the early 1990s, and neither doctor nor teenager thought about preserving Alex's fertility. Luckily his stepmother did. So the embarrassed teenager agreed to make some awkward visits to the sperm bank – and 23 three years later it has proven to be the best decision of his life. Alex has just set a world record by becoming a father to little Xavier – the world's oldest baby.
Reporter: Allison Langdon
Producer: Stephen Taylor, Alice Dalley

Venue Details & Map
- Address
26 Maddox StreetLondonW1S 1HQ
I went to Goodman for a Business dinner and I wasn't disappointed at all.
The atmosphere is quiet and the decoration is special, not really unique.
The service was good, the staff was nice and smiling. Our waitress was really nice and always was careful about we have enough water.
The food itself is really delicious. I ordered the US Beef fillet (250gr) and we ordered several sides to share...more
Goodman should actually be called Greatman.
This place is known for its awesome steaks, but I came here one day in search for a legit burger experience. I'd been in London for about a month and had had a couple of disappointing, marginal pub burgers over the weeks, which did the job of soaking up my warm pub ale (appetizing...), but I was craving a real burger. Goodman delivered. Solid...more
Goodman's exceeded my expectations by some way. Yes, I've read the reviews, I've heard the hype and built it up in my mind.
The menu is perfect in size with delicious sides to pick from and a separate board of cuts of the day.
We shared a starter of tempura prawns. Huge juicy prawns in crunchy batter. Absolutely perfect, never had prawns so well cooked in tempura.
Then I had a ribeye steak...more
Well then, this was for me at least a real turn up for the books. It's not that I dislike the idea of a steak restaurant.....I mean I LOVE STEAK, but I cook steak really well at home just how I like it.
At the end of a day out with some yelpers last weekend we found ourselves here for dinner. Reading the menu you can pay anything from £40 to £200 for a steak..daaaaaamn!
Reading a little...more
Yeah it's expensive, but damn it's in Mayfair and they know how to treat their customers. We arrived and got a table straight away even on a busy Saturday, which straightaway wins points for me. The menu was decent, not loads of choice for those non steak eaters, but what choices they did have, sounded yummy!
Me being me, went for the prawns! Great decision! The prawn tempura was cooked to...more

Though the Nightmare on Elm Street remake is still filming in Chi-town (Dread Central is on-set as I write this so expect some exclusive goodies soon), that hasn't stopped the powers-that-be from thinking sequel down the line.
The new Nancy, Rooney Mara, revealed to Bloody Disgusting the following truly tasty tidbit of information — turns out that if the remake does well (can you imagine it not? Freddy is as big as Santa Claus!) she has signed on to continue the role of Nancy Thompson for another two films.
Let's just hope for another cool-ass stop-motion skeleton fight to end the third film! Look for much, much more soon!
