It would be hard to describe Griffin Mill's job in terms that would make sense to anyone who has had to work for a living. He's a vice president at a movie studio, which pays him enormous sums of money to listen to people describe movies to him. When he hears a pitch he likes, he passes it along. He doesn't have the authority to give a "go" signal himself, and yet for those who beseech him to approve their screenplays, he has a terrifying negative authority. He can turn them down. Griffin starts getting anonymous postcards from a writer who says he is going to kill him. Griffin's crime: He said he would call the writer back, and he never did.
Robert Altman's "The Player," which tells Griffin's story with a cold sardonic glee, is a movie about today's Hollywood -- hilarious and heartless in about equal measure, and often at the same time. It is about an industry that is run like an exclusive rich boy's school, where all the kids are spoiled and most of them have ended up here because nobody else could stand them. Griffin is capable of humiliating a waiter who brings him the wrong mineral water. He is capable of murder. He is not capable of making a movie, but if a movie is going to be made, it has to get past him first.
This is material Altman knows from the inside and the outside. He owned Hollywood in the 1970s, when his films like "MASH," "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" and "Nashville" were the most audacious work in town. Hollywood cast him into the outer darkness in the 1980s, when his eclectic vision didn't fit with movies made by marketing studies. Now he is back in glorious vengeance, with a movie that is not simply about Hollywood, but about the way we live now, in which the top executives of many industries are cut off from the real work of their employees, and exist in a rarefied atmosphere of greedy competition with one another.
"The Player" opens with a very long continuous shot that is quite a technical achievement, yes, but also works in another way, to summarize Hollywood's state of mind in the early 1990s. Many names and periods are evoked: Silent pictures, foreign films, the great directors of the past. But these names are like the names of saints who no longer seem to have the power to perform miracles. The new gods are like Griffin Mill -- sleek, expensively dressed, noncommittal, protecting their backsides. Their careers are a study in crisis control. If they do nothing wrong, they can hardly be fired just because they never do anything right.
"The Player" follows Griffin (Tim Robbins) during a period when his big paycheck, his luxury car and his expensive lifestyle seem to be in danger. There is another shark in the pond, a younger executive (Peter Gallagher) who may be even sleeker and greedier, and who may get Griffin's job. This challenge comes at a bad time: Griffin is shedding a girl friend (a woman whose superior intelligence he feeds on, while treating the rest of her like a shabby possession). And there are those postcards. Who is sending the postcards? Griffin racks his memory and his secretary's appointment book. He has lied to so many writers that there is no way to narrow the field. Finally he picks one name and calls the guy for a meeting. The guy's girl friend says he's out in Pasadena, seeing "The Bicycle Thief" at a revival house. Griffin drives out there, meets the guy, has a conversation with him, follows him back to a parking lot, and kills him. As if Griffin didn't have enough problems already.
The movie then follows Griffin's attempts to protect his position at the studio, evade arrest for murder, and conduct a romance with the dead man's fiancé (Greta Scacchi), who if anything is more cynical than Griffin. This story was first told in a novel by Michael Tolkin, who made it so compelling I read it in a single sitting. Now Altman has made it funny as well, without losing any of the lacerating anger and satire.
Altman fills his film with dozens of cameos by recognizable stars, most of them saying exactly what's on their minds. And he surrounds Griffin with the kind of oddball characters who seem to roll into Los Angeles, as if the continent was on a tilt: Whoopi Goldberg as a Pasadena police detective who finds Griffin hilarious, Fred Ward as a studio security chief who has seen too many old "Dragnet" episodes, Sydney Pollack as a lawyer who does for the law what Griffin does for the cinema, Lyle Lovett as a sinister figure lurking on the fringes of many gatherings.
Watching "The Player," we want to despise Griffin Mill, but we can't quite manage that. He is not dumb. He has a certain verbal charm. As played by Tim Robbins, he is tall, with a massive forehead but a Dana Carvey smile, and he wears a suit well. Watching him in some shots, especially when the camera is below eye level and Altman uses a mock-heroic composition, we realize with a shock that Griffin looks uncannily like the young "Citizen Kane". He has a similar morality, too, but not the breadth of vision.
Altman, who has always had a particular strength with unusual supporting characters, surrounds him with people who all seem to be sketches for movies of their own. The girl friend played by Scacchi, whose name is June Gudmundsdottir, and who may or may not be Icelandic, is an example: A Southern California combination of artistic self-realization (she paints ) and self-interest (for her, romances are like career stages). Peter Gallagher, as the rival young executive, is like the kid at school who could always push your buttons, who was so hateful you could never understand why God didn't strike him dead for smirking at you all the time. And Whoopi Goldberg, as the cop who is almost certain Griffin is a murderer, brings a certain moral detachment to her job: Would she rather apprehend a perpetrator, or enjoy the human comedy?
"The Player" is a smart movie, and a funny one. It is also absolutely of its time. After the savings and loan scandals, after Michael Milkin, after junk bonds and stolen pension funds, here is a movie that uses Hollywood as a metaphor for the avarice of the 1980s. It is the movie "The Bonfire of the Vanities" wanted to be. There was a full page photo of Robert Altman in one of the newsweeklies, looking sideways at the camera, grinning like someone who has waited a long time, and finally gotten in the last word. As someone who grew up on his great films, it gives me such pleasure to see him make another one. In the same season as "The Babe," Altman is the guy who has hit one out of the park.

We've been seeing the Ugly Betty stars pan out their options after hearing that the show's been axed. Yesterday brought us a peek into the theatre life of Michael Urie and Becki Newton. Now, let's take a gander at what Mark Indelicato has in store, and he does indeed have a plan.
In Touch magazine reports that the 15-year-old actor has snagged an internship at Teen Vogue. What's more, he wants the cameras right behind him to film his every move. Is this going to be a better take on MTV's The Hills or something?
"I want to have a reality show about it," Indelicato told the publication. "My boss said he's determined to make me cry. He said it makes good TV."

Sarah Vaughan
Hey Naughty Papa
Sarah Vaughan led a bit of a double life during her years on Mercury/EmArcy. There were the stunning jazz-vocal and lushly produced pop albums and there were the more commercial sides for the singles market. Hey Naughty Papa, from 1955, was obviously one of the latter, tailored to compete with the new rock 'n' roll sounds that were dominating the airwaves.
Hugo Peretti's arrangement is brassy and splashy; pounding snare drum and cymbal sizzle, up front guitar shots and lots of "shake, shake" from the male backup singers. Sarah is in her usual fine form, effortlessly out-swinging the slightly stiff sounding band at every turn, dipping and diving but never losing sight of the tune, making you hang on till her last note dies away.
Hey Naughty Papa is a perfect example of a truly professional, supremely talented artist taking what's on the music stand and making it work. 'Billboard' magazine, circa September, 1955, got the last word, "This side's a blues, traditional in construction, with a lively lyric. It rocks right along...".

DEFINITION of 'Fixed-Period ARM'
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) with an initial fixed-interest-rate period. After the fixed-interest rate expires, the interest rate starts to adjust based on an index plus a margin. The amount by which the interest rate can adjust after the fixed period is usually subject to an interest rate cap structure.
These are often called "hybrid ARMs".
BREAKING DOWN 'Fixed-Period ARM'
Typically, in the prime mortgage market, fixed-period ARMs are offered with fixed-interest rate periods of three, five, seven and 10 years. In the subprime market a two-year fixed-rate period is frequently offered. Typically, the shorter the fixed-interest rate period, the lower the interest rate will be. A borrower should carefully consider their time horizon when choosing a fixed-period ARM and recognize the risks associated with the expiration of the fixed-interest rate period.

Expecting a good Paul Heyman promo.
Isn't Taker scheduled until WM?
Yeah, as seen on my other thread.
I am dying to see Heyman, Lesnar and Punk in the same ring with Triple H and The Undertaker. That would be a bad ass segment!!!!
Sounds good, really looking forward the next part of the HHH/Lesnar rivalry and Taker/Punk as well.

You Won't Believe What This Kitten Does In This Warm Bath
Most cat owners would agree that cats and water do not mix, in fact I know someone personally who told me that his cat won't even go near the downstairs bathroom whenever he hears water LOL.
However, there are those rare cats that have a love affair with water. This little guy takes his love affair of water to a whole new level.
This adorable kitten does not want to leave the comfort of his warm bath water. You can literally feel how comfortable he is in his tub. You almost feel bad every time he is taken out but you can't stop laughing at how adorable he looks when he sneaks back in.
This is one kitten that is not afraid of the water and I don't think he ever will be.

Hovercraft Access Now!
Written by Bwog Staff
November 20, 200710:20 am 20 Comments
Technologically-advanced changes are afoot for CUID holders and their card-swiping security guards. A new scanning system, (in which instead of a swipe, the security guard "hovers" the ID over a card-reading machine) is already in place in many of the libraries, and heading to Butler imminently.
John Jay residents also may have noticed the phasing-out of the swipe. Recalls one such resident, "I noticed this morning that the student swiping cards in at the security desk had not been taking IDs but just looking at the IDs and letting students through." Reports are circulating of a small (seemingly inactivated) machine sitting on the security desk in Jay—perhaps a tool of this new-fangled Hovercraft Access?
The Hovercraft was installed in Claremont last night and is already in place in Woodbridge and naturally already causing problems. "It's actually a problem because it doesn't work and you need to swipe (now scan, I guess) to even get in the building."
Meanwhile, one Barnard student reports that when her ID was accidentally swiped by a Claremont security guard, she gained swipe/hover access to all of the Columbia dorms. "I hope I have SIPA access, too," she said.
SIPA access: the Great Columbian Dream.

Location description from owner
The Occitanie region
CAZOULS LES BEZIERS - an ancient, buzzy village just outside Beziers
The ancient village of Cazouls Les Beziers founded by the Romans in the 1st Century, it has everything you need to make your stay comfortable, with bars, restaurants, takeaways, a choice of 3 patisseries one is also a chocolatterie!) for your daily fresh bread, croissant and other regional favourites like Tart au Pinot (pine nut tart). There are 2 wine tasting shops in the village (and domains within 5 mins drive), local shops as well as a typical village square (with a yummy chicken rotisserie take out shop!), an ancient church well worth a visit, various fetes throughout the year and on the edge of the village a large Carrefore supermarket & other large mall shops.
There is a local Languedocienne Traditional market in the Town Square three times a week. Cazouls Les Beziers is a wine growing village and it retains it's character of a traditional working village. Although this is not a "tourist" village, they welcome the many tourists to the area with open arms and are very proud that their village attracts so many visitors throughout the year.
The village centre is a short and easy walk from the villa (about 4 minutes). Take a right out of the villa, walk a few yards to the pathway on the right (between houses), follow this and then go up a slight hill, left at the top, follow this and you're in the village centre.
On your walk in to the Village centre, notice the wonderful old houses, some dating back to the 15th century and look out for the bullet marks on some of the older houses, left there from the 2nd World War, where the Languedoc region was heavy with the French Resistance, where the inevitable gun battles with the Nazis ensued. It's a little known fact that the South of France was heavily involved in the Resistance movement and the French are surprisingly reluctant to talk about this, but there are a few books on this out now. See Cazouls Les Beziers website for more information about medieval history.
Or take a left out of the house and you'll be in the middle of vineyards and hillside walks within a couple of minutes. A nice walk (although uphill a bit) is to walk left out of the villa, left again at the end of the road and keep going up the hill, where you'll find the most spectacular views and the Table D'Orientation . Then take a right to miles and miles of vineyards (nearly destroyed in 2009 by bush fires).
Situated just 10 minutes drive from Béziers City, the property is also convenient for the various cultural events available in Beziers & the surrounding area. These include 'the Féria' in mid August, and the Fete Occitane celebrations in June to mark the 'Occitan', the ancient and still used local language and culture. The Languedoc has a long history, far too much to discuss here, but get some books out of the Library to give you a flavour of this rich and fascinating area. Also a "must- read" is brilliant The Labryinth by Kate Mosse, a fictional book set concurrently in medieval 13th century & present day, about the rich history of this wonderful area and the persecution of the Cathars in the 12/13th Centuries by Simon de Montfort. Cazouls gets a mention! Kate Mosse has a house in Carcassonne, so virtually a local!
The countryside around Cazouls is stunning and offers many opportunities as well, being ideal for cycling, rambling, fishing, climbing in the hills of the Languedoc, skiing in the Pyrénnées just 2 hours drive away. Just a 3 or 4 minute drive from the Villa is the White Water Rafting and canoeing centre, where you can canoe rapids or just gently moving water - your choice! The company drive you to the destination, depending on your level of experience, and you canoe back home, down to Reals on the River Orb. It's an absolute must-do and further down the River Orb, where the rapids cease, you can swim at Réals, where there is also a fab Auberge de Reals, the best restaurant for miles, and yet 3 mins drive from the Villa!
The Canal du Midi is also within a short drive and as well as boats and picnics provides an ideal place for walking and cycling on its towpaths. Golf is available at St Thomas near Béziers or Lamalou the spa town in the nearby Languedoc National Park.
Cazouls is an easy 15/20 minute drive to the beaches and a 30 drive towards the Orb Valley road and more serious walking (the Espinouse Mountain Range and the High Languedoc National Park). Take a left out of the road and it's a 5 minute drive to Reals (or a 20 minute walk). Follow signs to Reals (take a right at a very sharp bend) to the beautiful fast flowing, glistening crystal clear River Orb, where there is a canoe centre and cafe, and further along, river swimming. You can tailor your canoeing trip to suit your skills, they cater for children, really easy canoeing trips to very advanced trips. Just up above that is the Auberge de Reals, where you can have lunch or dinner from a varied menu (open all year). Follow that road on to another ancient and pretty (circulade) village Murveils Les Beziers.
The tourist information centre is on the main road going out of Cazouls, towards Béziers. The staff are very friendly and there are often many impromptu events to join in with. They often sell local craftwares too. Look at the posters on the patisserie windows and booklets and brochures in the patisseries and shops, for news of all forthcoming events.
Get a tourist information leaflet on the local sights. Easy walking to the table of orientation set amongst the vineyards. On clear days it is easy to see the Pyrénées and the sparkling azure Mediterranean sea.
On the way you will pass the Parapluie, the remains of an ancient Roman hot spring used until fairly recently. You will also pass a winery; knock on the door and buy a bottle or two!
If you are feeling energetic you can carry on walking to the Abbey Fontcaude. Here,in the ancient hamlet of Cazardnes, there is a beautiful, medieval church and visitors centre.
For the less energetic the hamlet can be reached from the main Saint Chinian road. Go out of Lottissement Les Tonnelles and take a left , follow the road a couple of miles and take the left road to Cazedarnes, well worth a visit.

commercial property for rent or lease, Industrial Space For Lease.
Stover (MO) commercial property for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Stover industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Stover warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Some Stover commercial businesses may be more productive and efficient if they have adequate office area. In some areas the monthly lease on such Stover areas can very often make up a substantial amount of a small company's budget. Sometimes it's feasible to share facilities like conference rooms with other Stover tenants, to reduce costs. Consider different options before taking out a long-term lease on a large workplace when the possibility may exist that your Stover business could outgrow the areas quickly. Consider short-term rentals for companies that are growing and in transition.
Search Stover real estate and space for sale, lease and rent
If your company lacks the means to obtain financial loans for purchasing Stover commercial property, there's no need to put strategies, business plans, and lucrative ideas on hold. Leasing commercial real estate has been an advantageous opportunity for Stover business owners and new entrepreneurs alike. While it may be an easier avenue compared to purchasing Stover property, there are still terms and conditions that can need to be haggled, settled, negotiated, and in some cases, debated. With an experienced Stover broker on your side, you can leave the stress of negotiation to a more experienced hand. Besides a broker, a lawyer can help navigate the lease to ensure your Stover company�s best interests are protected and the terms are fair.
Your long term Stover business plan and real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the Stover business to be positioned for the best and worst scenarios. Define the spaces you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all requirements. Will the layout satisfy Stover employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new venue be achieved to everyone's satisfaction. Consider proximity to Stover facilities and amenities such as shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

We've just come back from an 8 day holiday to Portugal-the purpose being, to attend a family wedding. Because there were 13 of us, all family, we were looking for apartments which were well equipped and spacious enough to be able to hide in your rooms if you got sick of your family. These apartments hit the nail on the head. They were so big, I got lost twice going from the bedroom to the bathroom. As the apartments are privately owned, they are all decorated differently. Ours in particular was adorned with trinkets dating back to about 1973. I was particularly fond of the vase shaped into the figure of a horse mid-gallop. And the fake flowers covered in dust were a real treat for the eyes. The bedrooms were sparse, and the beds were like prison beds, I have never slept on such a hard mattress. At one point during the night I genuinely considered just lying on the marble floor to sleep as I think that may have been comfier. That said, we were really impressed with the apartment as a whole, and I wouldn't let the hard mattress put you off. Just bring your own if you ever visit here, I'm sure customs would allow you to if you explained your predicament.
The pool area was a good size, with a children's pool at one end, and it wasn't particularly busy so there was always a sunbed to be found. The lifts are really old-school though.You have to pull the lift door open to step inside. I wish we'd known this on the first day, we stood in front of it for about an hour and a half waiting for it to do it for us automatically, Portuguese technology is so lazy.
If you're coming here expecting entertainment, you won't find it. Most people are in bed by about 8.30. On the second night, 10 of us adults had congregated on my sisters balcony at about 10pm, and were having a discussion about genetically modified food, when we were told to keep the noise down by the chap in the apartment above. So, if you're planning on having a chat on your balcony past about 6pm, be warned. Especially if you want to discuss massive tomatoes.
I can't let this review end without a special shout out to Ed who was the (I think) manager/chef/pool boy/bar man/cleaner/general dogsbody of the complex. He was fantastic, so friendly, and his English was better than mine. No problem was too small, and when me and my husband lost our key, he quickly replaced it. And then didnt bat an eyelid when we lost the replacement key...and then found both keys in the inside lining of my handbag.
I'd have no hesitation in recommending this place if you want a spacious, self catering singles/couples holiday which is quite near to the centre. And if you're fond of ceramic ornaments dating back to the 70's, you'll literally be in your element.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The MARALVOR apartments stand out for their perfect relation between price/quality/location. These spacious apartments, are located at mere 700 meters ( about 10 minutes walking distance) from Alvor Vilage center and the glorious sands of Alvor beach. This location allows to remain accessible but distanced enough to enjoy a relaxed holiday, escaping the noisy hustle and bustle of a center located unit. Built with comfort in mind, these apartments have an independent kitchen, fully equipped with Fridge/freezer, hobs/oven, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, washing machine and all remainig utensils necessary for a great SELF-CATERING holiday. The bedrooms, are equipped with two single beds or a double, a large wardrope for all the necessary packing space and still have enough space left for 1 or 2 Cots if necessary (no extra cost but will req. To pre-book them on reservation). The living-room, once again ample and spacious, are equiped with a sofa bed or a sofa plus single individual beds, that allow for a maximum ocupancy of the apartment without sacrificing on comfort or giving guests a claustrofobic feel. Equiped with Satelite TV, with all the national channels plus some international ones, allow for a good retriet, when the holiday fun gets a bit tiering. The bathroom, also with good size, has a full bath and shower.He unit has also a SNACK-BAR (privatelly managed and with seasonal operation), were several drinks, cocktails and snack are served thruw the day, and were you can still find games such as darts, snooker and video-games ... more less

Discovery of the selective androgen receptor modulator MK-0773 using a rational development strategy based on differential transcriptional requirements for androgenic anabolism versus reproductive physiology

Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are androgen receptor (AR) ligands that induce anabolism while having reduced effects in reproductive tissues. In various experimental contexts SARMs fully activate, partially activate, or even antagonize the AR, but how these complex activities translate into tissue selectivity is not known. Here, we probed receptor function using >1000 synthetic AR ligands. These compounds produced a spectrum of activities in each assay ranging from 0 to 100% of maximal response. By testing different classes of compounds in ovariectomized rats, we established that ligands that transactivated a model promoter 40-80% of an agonist, recruited the coactivator GRIP-1 <15%, and stabilized the N-/C-terminal interdomain interaction <7% induced bone formation with reduced effects in the uterus and in sebaceous glands. Using these criteria, multiple SARMs were synthesized including MK-0773, a 4-aza-steroid that exhibited tissue selectivity in humans. Thus, AR activated to moderate levels due to reduced cofactor recruitment, and N-/C-terminal interactions produce a fully anabolic response, whereas more complete receptor activation is required for reproductive effects. This bimodal activation provides a molecular basis for the development of SARMs. © 2010 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. Source

Journal of Biomolecular Screening | Year: 2010
In recent years, advances in structure-based drug design and the development of an impressive variety of high-throughput screening (HTS) assay formats have yielded an expanding list of protein-protein interaction inhibitors. Despite these advances, protein-protein interaction targets are still widely considered difficult to disrupt with small molecules. The authors present here the results from screening 220,017 compounds from the National Institute of Healths small-molecule library in a novel p53-hDM2 protein-protein interaction biosensor (PPIB) assay. The p53-hDM2 positional biosensor performed robustly and reproducibly throughout the high-content screening (HCS) campaign, and analysis of the multiparameter data from images of the 3 fluorescent channels enabled the authors to identify and eliminate compounds that were cytotoxic or fluorescent artifacts. The HCS campaign yielded 3 structurally related methylbenzo-naphthyridin-5-amine (MBNA) hits with IC50s between 30 and 50 μM in the p53-hDM2 PPIB. In HCT116 cells with wild-type (WT) p53, the MBNAs enhanced p53 protein levels, increased the expression of p53 target genes, caused a cell cycle arrest in G1, induced apoptosis, and inhibited cell proliferation with an IC50 ∼4 μM. The prototype disruptor of p53-hDM2 interactions Nutlin-3 was more potent than the MBNAs in the p53-hDM2 PPIB assay but produced equivalent biological results in HCT116 cells WT for p53. Unlike Nutlin-3, however, MBNAs also increased the percentage of apoptosis in p53 null cells and exhibited similar potencies for growth inhibition in isogenic cell lines null for p53 or p21. Neither the MBNAs nor Nutin-3 caused cell cycle arrest in p53 null HCT116 cells. Despite the relatively modest size of the screening library, the combination of a novel p53-hDM2 PPIB assay together with an automated imaging HCS platform and image analysis methods enabled the discovery of a novel chemotype series that disrupts p53-hDM2 interactions in cells. © 2010 Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening.

The integration of high-content screening (HCS) readers with organ-specific cell models, panels of functional biomarkers, and advanced informatics is a powerful approach to identifying the toxic liabilities of compounds early in the development process and forms the basis of "early safety assessment." This cellular systems biology (CSB™) approach (CellCiphr® profile) has been used to integrate rodent and human cellular hepatic models with panels of functional biomarkers measured at multiple time points to profile both the potency and specificity of the cellular toxicological response. These profiles also provide initial insights on the mechanism of the toxic response. The authors describe here mechanistic assay profiles designed to further dissect the toxic mechanisms of action and elucidate subtle effects apparent in subpopulations of cells. They measured 8 key mechanisms of toxicity with multiple biomarker feature measurements made simultaneously in populations of living primary hepatocytes and HepG2 cells. Mining the cell population response from these mechanistic profiles revealed the concentration dependence and nature of the heterogeneity of the response, as well as relationships between the functional responses. These more detailed mechanistic profiles define differences in compound activities that are not apparent in the average population response. Because cells and tissues encounter wide ranges of drug doses in space and time, these mechanistic profiles build on the CellCiphr ® profile and better reflect the complexity of the response in vivo. © 2010 Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening.

We present here the characterization and optimization of a novel imaging-based positional biosensor high-content screening (HCS) assay to identify disruptors of p53-hDM2 protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The chimeric proteins of the biosensor incorporated the N-terminal PPI domains of p53 and hDM2, protein targeting sequences (nuclear localization and nuclear export sequence), and fluorescent reporters, which when expressed in cells could be used to monitor p53-hDM2 PPIs through changes in the subcellular localization of the hDM2 component of the biosensor. Coinfection with the recombinant adenovirus biosensors was used to express the NH-terminal domains of p53 and hDM2, fused to green fluorescent protein and red fluorescent protein, respectively, in U-2 OS cells. We validated the p53-hDM2 PPI biosensor (PPIB) HCS assay with Nutlin-3, a compound that occupies the hydrophobic pocket on the surface of the N-terminus of hDM2 and blocks the binding interactions with the N-terminus of p53. Nutlin-3 disrupted the p53-hDM2 PPIB in a concentration-dependent manner and provided a robust, reproducible, and stable assay signal window that was compatible with HCS. The p53-hDM2 PPIB assay was readily implemented in HCS and we identified four (4) compounds in the 1,280-compound Library of Pharmacologically Active Compounds that activated the p53 signaling pathway and elicited biosensor signals that were clearly distinct from the responses of inactive compounds. Anthracycline (topoisomerase II inhibitors such as mitoxantrone and ellipticine) and camptothecin (topoisomerase I inhibitor) derivatives including topotecan induce DNA double strand breaks, which activate the p53 pathway through the ataxia telangiectasia mutated-checkpoint kinase 2 (ATM-CHK2) DNA damage response pathway. Although mitoxantrone, ellipticine, camptothecin, and topotecan all exhibited concentration-dependent disruption of the p53-hDM2 PPIB, they were much less potent than Nutlin-3. Further, their corresponding cellular images and quantitative HCS data did not completely match the Nutlin-3 phenotypic profile. © Copyright 2010, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. 2010. Source

after 60 years i had to secure a new doctor doctor smith was my choice those were big shoes to fill but doctor smith far exceeded my expectations not only is he afine doctor , i have in a time come to trust respect his ability to guide with a gentle nudge but with medical conviction. the addition of the vip program added an element of medical assurance i was looking for. Doctor smith is a fine family man, confident and gentle soul thanks for being there.

Paul Smith M.D. has been my doctor for several years. He is by far the most wonderful doctor a person could have. His interest and concern for my health and general well being is genuine. No matter how busy his schedule may be, he never rushes through my appts or brushes off any of my concerns, no matter how insignificant they may seem. He is patient and happy to answer and clarify questions. He is thorough in his evaluations of my health issues and always takes the time to explain the issue as well as all the possible options for treatment. One of the things I most appreciate about him is the fact that he is so easy to talk to and never makes you feel like you've asked a stupid question. I have never been hesitant in asking him any kind of question. This has been my experience with Dr. Smith ever since I started going to him. I am now 65 years old, so I very much appreciate the focus on prevention, wellness and healthy living, and have enjoyed the monthly activities and presentations that he has been arranging. One of my favorite activities is country dancing. I have included a photo of myself doing some country line dancing. The woman in the photo with me stepped on my foot while we were dancing. Because of the great care I receive from Dr. Smith and what he has taught me about wellness and exercise, I am in great shape and was able to take the woman down for stepping on my foot! I only ended up with a few minor bruises which have already healed, so I am ready for another match on the dance floor if need be! THIS LAST PARAGRAPH IS A JOKE! The woman is actually a good friend of mine who shares my passion for dancing....:-)

Thank you Dr. Smith for encouraging me to get that colonoscopy I've been avoiding. I'm glad I did it and you were right, it wasn't so bad :)
Feb 11, 2014
Just the other day I had food poisoning and I used the MDVIP website to contact Dr. Smith. Within an hour he called me to check in on me even though he was out of town. He was able to call in the medicine I needed and I was feeling much better by the end of the day. Just knowing he was a text, phone call or email away was very comforting especially when I was feeling so sick.
Feb 7, 2014
Dr. Smith is a great doctor and he knows when to call in a specialist. When I have needed referrals to specialist Dr. Smith super doctors in their field.
Feb 7, 2014
I think Dr. Smith is wonderful. He his thorough, compassionate, understanding and just a great person. He make you feel comfortable from the moment he walks in the room. He has never steamed me wrong. Thank you Dr. Smith, you are the best!
Feb 6, 2014
Paul took the initiative to recognize that our system in broken. His new practice is a model for how medicine SHOULD be practiced. Everyone I tell about what Dr. Smith is doing has asked me for a referral!

It's true that an organization needs stability, but an organization also needs better ways to adapt and change. Living in a globalized world where everything is ephemeral, people need to be able to adapt. Change is necessary not only for the proper development of an organization, but also for the development of its employees, both professionally and personally.
Change Management Defined
An organization operates in a particular way. When the market changes, the organization must change with it. There are various reasons for change management, including strategic, technical, economic and operational changes. Change management is not the change itself, but the tools and techniques used in the process of change. Those working in an organization are human beings who assume that we will adopt the best way to reach a desired end. People have their own fears and are hesitant to change, which is why change management techniques are usually accompanied by a detailed study of the organization's staff.
What's Needed For Change
Change management requires careful planning and a sensitivity to determine the direction of change. First, management must decide what portion of workers will be directly affected. They must recognize that those who manage the change are not the employees. The employees' responsibility is to try to adapt to change, but it's management that is ultimately responsible. Second, communication is essential, especially face-to-face communication. It's best to avoid imposing on an employee during the change. The employee is only part of it, so management must be patient. In change management, time is everything. With quick changes, there will be more resistance and the employee will not be aware of the process. Management should increase the urgency of projects, and the people will comply with their duties. Management should also assemble a guidance team whose members have leadership skills and the ability to speak clearly. Change happens more smoothly when more people are involved because a large group feels more united. Also it's wise to propose short-term goals that can be performed easily without frustrating the team.
Strengths of Change Management
An organization can become stronger if change is done with care. Individuals will have to adapt over time. The advantage is having employees with a greater ability to adapt. These employees will also be trained to work as a team. Communication problems will be compensated because employees will learn to communicate clearly and effectively. The organization will filter people. Many employees may not adapt, so only the best will remain. Management will also become stronger because it will have to maintain order during the break in routine and structure.
Weaknesses of Change Management
All change creates fear, distrust and rejection; this should be taken into account. At first, there could be chaos. Management must control this chaos from the beginning to avoid resistance. The true personalities of employees will be revealed. This could be a weakness if employees start conflicts. Remember that not everyone will be happy with the change and you could deal with a lot of frustration. A frustrated worker may unconsciously sabotage the project. With change comes a stage of confrontation, and employees must be guided through this period.

Ibiza is a hedonist's playground, but my last visit there had me craving sleep and nursing a sore head
It's probably time to say adieu to Ibiza. In my own book of life its chapter is now complete. It is time to move on to discover a more refined holiday destination. Zipping off to the infamous super clubs' closing parties a few weekends ago reeked of "been-there-done-that". Those mad, drug-fuelled days of partying all night have long gone. Now they are mere memories that have to be shelved.

Some search engines get their results by turning to third-party "search providers" to "power" their listings. To make matters more confusing, these search providers may run their own search engine sites, as well.
The chart below explains who the major providers are. Knowing who powers whom is helpful for those who are wondering which companies are "winning" in the competitive market of powering search. Information is for users visiting the US/global version of the search engines listed, unless otherwise noted.
This information is also helpful to webmasters and search engine marketers trying to understand where to get listed. If this is your goal, also read the Search Engine Results Chart. That table is more oriented for those looking to get listed with different search engines. It shows all the major search engines and how they get their listings, with links leading to submission help from Search Engine Watch's Essentials Of Search Engine Submission guide.
The key for the chart is shown first, then the chart itself comes further below, so there's enough width to display it properly. To learn more about a particular search engine or search provider, just click on its name. You'll be taken to the appropriate section of Search Engine Watch's Major Search Engines page. To jump straight to the chart, click here.
|Search Engine Watch members can see partnership charts
going back to March 1996. They also have access to pages
about many of the individual search engines listed,
explaining in depth how they work and get listings.

Chart Key
Search Providers: These are listed at the top of each column. Read down to see what they power at major search engines. Click on their names to learn more about them.
Search Engines: These are listed at the beginning of each row, in order of share of searches shown on the comScore Media Metrix Search Engine Ratings page. Here's a guide to the color coding:
- Dark Orange: search engines with 25 percent or greater share.
- Light Orange: search engines with 10 percent or greater share.
- Light Blue: search engines with 1 percent share or greater share.
- Gray: search engines with less than 1 percent share. They are shown only because of the name recognition they may still have among some long-time searchers or marketers.
Main: Indicates that a search provider provides the "main" editorial results to a particular search engine, the most dominant listings that will be seen.
Paid: Indicates that a search provider provides paid placement listings to a particular search engine. Also see the Buying Your Way In page for detailed information about paid listing partnerships.
Backup: Indicates that a search provider provides the "backup" results that appear in cases where a search engine's main results fail to find good matches. See the Search Engine Results Page for more about "backup" or "fallthrough" results.
Option: If shown in the notes section, Indicates that information from this source is made available either on results pages or in other ways, though the prominence of the information may not be high.
Dates: Where shown, dates indicate when a particular partnership is due for renewal. Dates are shown in MM/DD/YY or similar format.

AOL renewed its deal with Google in October 2003 but did not specify exactly how long the partnership would last. Date shown is the minimum length estimated by Search Engine Watch, based on past deals between the two companies.
Excite Network is a collection of search sites owned by Ask Jeeves. For more details, see the comScore Media Metrix Search Engine Ratings page.
Lycos has an existing contract with Yahoo-owned Overture for paid results running through May 2006. However, the company switched to Google in November 2003 due to a contract dispute. Google paid results also appear on Lycos-owned HotBot.com. For more, see coverage on the dispute from InternetNews.com, News.com and CBS MarketWatch. Lycos also runs its own paid listings in addition to those from Google on Lycos and HotBot. See Terra Lycos To Launch Paid Placement Network for more about this. A deal struck for backup results from the now Yahoo-owned AllTheWeb site was to expire on December 31, 2003. There's been no news of any renewal. The AllTheWeb search engine no longer uses its own technology. Instead, Lycos uses Yahoo main results (and flags these as being from Inktomi).
Yahoo main results come from its own crawler-technology. These results often look different on sites that Yahoo powers, such as MSN and Lycos, when compared to the same search at Yahoo itself. This is because Yahoo operates its own unique ranking algorithm on its own site. Yahoo paid results come from the Overture paid placement listings service that it owns. The Yahoo-owned Inktomi search engine no longer operates, though Yahoo-partner Lycos may still say that results are coming from Inktomi.

FireBall FP-1 Music Manager for iPods announced
Escient today announced the availability of its FireBall FP-1 Music Manager with Universal Dock for iPods. The $599 system provides an on-screen user interface for managing and controlling an iPod in the home. "Unlike typical home iPod docks, which offer very limited benefits when the iPod is removed, the FP-1 provides access to a user's PC- or Mac-based music collection and free Internet radio streams even when the iPod is not docked," says Escient. "Because the FP-1 is truly an Escient FireBall Music Manager (which uses the iPod for local music storage) it integrates seamlessly with other FireBall products in the home, enabling other connected FireBalls to access and play all of the iPod's music, including Apple's FairPlay DRM protected audio files."

Notes & Reviews:
This specially priced set presents all eight of the highly acclaimed Mozart sonata discs that Rachel Podger and Gary Cooper recorded for Channel Classics. Also included are informative liner notes written by producer Jonathan Freeman-Attwoord. These recordings of Mozart's complete Sonatas for Keyboard and Violin have received countless awards and accolades, including multiple Diapason d'Or awards and Gramophone Editor's Choices, and have been hailed as 'benchmark' recordings. Originally released as SACDs, they are offered here on standard CD.
The Times
Forget recent competition in these violin and keyboard sonatas: the honours go to Rachel Podger and Gary Cooper's series on period instruments.
Audiophile Audition
Once again the musicians give us thrillingly good performances of a mixture of early and mature sonatas ... The sound quality is breathtakingly good ... you really get the impression that Rachel and Gary are in the room with your! Very highly recommended - it doesn't get much better than this.
BBC Music Magazine
Rachel Podger and Gary Cooper give characteristically intelligent and insightful performances of all these pieces.
Gramophone Magazine
...There's an appealing fluidity about their playing. Add excellent sound, and the recommendation is clinched.

Let the Sunshine In: #FixFOIAby50
This week marks Sunshine Week, when the media, civil society organizations and the government all join together to celebrate transparency and the power of open government. Harking back to the famous quote from Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, "sunlight is the best of disinfectants," access to information is one of the most powerful tools used by watchdog groups like Public Citizen to hold government officials accountable and ensure they are acting in public's best interest.
Sunshine Week is celebrated by numerous events across the country focusing on the many important facets of open government. Craig Holman, the Government Affairs Lobbyist for Public Citizen's Congress Watch division, presented on a panel during the 2016 National Freedom of Information Day at the Newseum on the need for greater political spending disclosures and other measures to limit corruption of our democracy. I will join our open government allies in a Twitter chat today (March 16) at noon Eastern time to shine a light on aspects of transparency initiatives that are in need of improvement. You can join the conversation at any time by following me on Twitter (@Susan_Citizen) or by searching for the hash tag #MoreOversight.
What's more, this year, something monumental happened to mark Sunshine Week: Yesterday, under the leadership of Senators Patrick Leahy (D-Mass.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the U.S. Senate voted under Unanimous Consent to pass legislation that will improve the landmark public right-to-know law, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA.)
