Scat Daddy, somewhat overlooked in trainer Todd Pletcher's rich stable for this year's Triple Crown trail, stormed from far back to tag the tough-luck loser Stormello by a nose in the final stride of Saturday's $350,000 Fountain of Youth (gr. II) for 3-year-olds at Gulfstream Park.
Pletcher won five races at Gulfstream Saturday. Earlier, Pletcher's King of the Roxy won the Hutcheson Stakes (gr. II), another Derby prep race. Of the nine 3-year-olds he ran, five won, two placed second and one finished third. Pletcher leads all trainers with 32 horses nominated for the Triple Crown this year
"Scat Daddy overcame a lot to wear down a nice group of horses," Pletcher said. "I never doubted he could go two turns."
The West Coast invader Stormello, who set a fast pace under Kent Desormeaux while pressured throughout by Adore the Gold, put away that rival as well as the prohibitive favorite Nobiz Like Shobiz at the eighth pole, but the weary warrior came up a stride short at the wire in a terrific race. Scat Daddy, closing in the middle of the track after making a four-wide move on the final turn, won in a time of 1:49 for the 1 1/8-mile event.
"We took the overland route, but it was our only choice," Pletcher said. "Considering the inside bias, he overcame a lot to get it done."
Ridden by John Velazquez, Scat Daddy was taken back shortly after the start as Stormello hustled away to take a two-length lead into the clubhouse turn. Stormello set quick fractions of :23 1/5, :46 and 1:09 4/5, but could not shake loose of Adore the Gold or Nobiz Like Shobiz, who shadowed the pacesetter into the stretch. Under frantic urging from Desormeaux, Stormello did manage to inch away from those two approaching the wire. But Scat Daddy, overcoming a wide trip, won the photo with Nobiz Like Shobiz, the 3-5 favorite ridden by Cornelio Velasquez, finishing one-half length behind in third.
"I couldn't have planned it better. I wanted to get into good position early and follow Cornelio (jockey Velasquez on Nobiz Like Shobiz) to the head of the lane and run him down. (Scat Daddy) was running hard through the stretch. He was coming little by little and he got there."
"He was very fresh, but still it was a very good effort on his part – tough beat," Desormeaux said. "I never wanted to be on the front end with him. He left (gate) like a quarter horse. I did the best I could to get him to settle, and give me a quiet ride. I think it's a good effort on his part, but it still hurts. It's an aggravating defeat."
Trainer Barclay Tagg, who in 2003 trained Funny Cide to victories in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I), has called Nobiz Like Shobiz his ideal Triple Crown contender.
After the third-place finish, Tagg said he wasn't sure where the colt would race next.
"I think he's a good horse," he said. "I don't know why he ran like that. The jock said he was lugging in at the top of the stretch, and you lose a little ground when you straighten him out. The whole thing surprised me. I thought he'd lay third, then go to the front and win. I thought we'd go to the Wood Memorial (gr. I on April 7), but now I don't know."
Adore the Gold and Edgar Prado settled for fourth after taking the lead briefly from Stormello in upper stretch, one length behind Scat Daddy.
Scat Daddy, third behind winner Nobiz Like Shobiz in the Holy Bull (gr. III) on Feb. 3, has won two of three races in their rivalry. Pletcher said media attention might shift a bit.
"I can't speak to anyone else's horses, but I didn't feel like our horse got the respect he deserved coming into the race," Pletcher said.
Scat Daddy won the one-turn Champagne (gr. I) at Bemont Park Oct. 14 but disappointed in the Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) when finishing fourth, 15 lengths behind the runaway winner Street Sense at Churchill Downs. The dark bay son of Johannesburg--Love Style (Mr. Prospector) returned to action this season in the one-mile Holy Bull over the Gulfstream main track. Scat Daddy has won four of seven starts with earnings of $734,300. He earned $210,000 Saturday for owners James Scatuorchio and Michael Tabor.
Bred in Kentucky by Axel Wend, Scat Daddy was a $250,000 Keeneland yearling.
The narrow second choice over Stormello, Scat Daddy paid $13.80, $6.20 and $2.80. Stormello, making his first start since winning the Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) for trainer and part-owner William Currin, returned $6.20 and $3. The exacta paid $75.20. Nobiz Like Shobiz, who lost for just the second time in five starts as one of the early favorites for the Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), was worth $2.10 to show.
Following Adore the Gold was Hal's My Hope, Drums of Thunder, Meritocracy, Divine Master and Johannesburg Star.

Neal Schon – Not A Deadbeat Dad
Neal Schon is no stranger to courtrooms, but he's been on a winning streak lately including a 'win' in a Minnesota court with his ex-wife Amber, who is from my hometown of Waseca, Minnesota.
Amber was looking to boost his child support for their two kids, Aja and Sophia, from $3000 a month to just under six grand. But a family court judge in Minnesota, where she lives and where they were divorced in 2007, ruled against her, saying she "intended primarily to upgrade her own standard of living," which is quite pricey — $7200 a year for clothing, $5760 for a storage locker, $9600 for birthday parties(!) and a whopping $2400 on postage (don't they have e-mail in Minnesota?). The judge suggested she complete her teaching degree and get a job, adding that it is not Schon's fault that she has been unable to "obtain any kind of employment."
Amber had posted on her Facebook page that she was hoping the sale of her half-million dollar home would go quickly because she needs the money. Amber's mother, Judy, has been very vocal in her distaste for her former son-in-law calling him "little more than a sperm donor with an inadequate monthly check," in a blog. She also called Schon a "drunk, abusive man" who is "increasingly spiteful and vindictive"
Schon says, "My concern is with my children, and I'm infuriated they are being exploited and used to extort money from me." Schon, who's dating former reality star Michaele Salahi, was married three other times before Amber, and has three other kids.

Destination Clubs vs. Luxury Hotels: Cost Per Night
From the Helium Report
Every week, the Helium Report-- the experts on fractional ownership-- receives several requests from readers for their "Cost-per-Night" model which they built in Excel. (Destination clubs are often described as a hybrid between luxury resort rentals and five-star hotels; the fee structure is closer to membership in your local country club: a large up-front deposit with annual dues.) The propietary tool helps prospective members compare the cost of destination clubs to other luxury travel alternatives such as five-star hotels or villa rentals. Helium Report has just announced their first "widget"-- an online version of the "Cost-per-night" calculator. Now you can enter your own assumptions directly in the tool here to determine the nightly rate for any club you're considering.

EMU's interior design students develop headquarters concept for SOS Community Services
YPSILANTI - Twenty-nine Eastern Michigan University interior design students recently had the opportunity to show off their knowledge and creativity not for the classroom, but for a real client.
Their mission: to design two floors of an office building and create a childcare center for SOS Community Services, a non-profit organization that is looking to move into a new headquarters at a future, undetermined date. Located in Ypsilanti, SOS Community Services serves homeless families and children, and others in crisis in Washtenaw County.
The EMU sophomores designed office layouts; chose furniture and cabinetry; picked floor tiles and carpeting; and selected paint, upholstery and window treatments. In addition, they created unique themes -- everything from Disney to the environment -- for a daycare center. They then converted their creativity into miniature realities that were recently displayed for the nonprofit's board members in Halle Library's Carillon Room.
Because the project would be located near a wetland, Monique Kulick, one of the students from the "Interior Design Four" class, created an environmental theme.
"I wanted to bring nature into every room and have lots of light," Kulick, of Ann Arbor, said of her office design that includes beiges and browns. "For the childcare center, I did the same except it was much more fun. I chose a cabin-in-the woods theme."
A number of walls in Kulick's daycare design included murals of trees and other nature scenes.
Gary Bell, executive director of SOS, said he was pleased with the possibilities as he viewed the design concepts and models.
"It's fascinating to have shared written and verbal information on what we want to achieve, and how these students took that information and came up with ideas outside of your own thoughts," Bell said. "This stretches the lines of what we thought could be possible. I'm so thrilled with the time and creativity they (students) put in."
Founded in 1970 by students and faculty at EMU, SOS has evolved from its roots as a peer-counseling program into an agency whose comprehensive services assist families in their move from homelessness to self-sufficiency and permanent, stable housing. Today, SOS occupies four program and administrative sites in Washtenaw County.
Bell said that the nonprofit wants to eventually centralize its headquarters at a location that was purchased for SOS along Michigan Avenue. Bell said he estimates the 10,000-square-foot office building/daycare center envisioned would cost approximately $8 million and would require securing grants and long-term fundraising efforts.
Students were given parameters to fill two floors of office space and create a building design, but were given more flexibility when it came to creating a daycare center, said Pam Eland, an adjunct faculty member who teaches an "Interior Design Four" course and is a professional interior designer.
Mara Dermer's imagination led to the creation of an "Under the Sea" infant room. The Farmington resident said she chose the motif because the ocean is "a place of mystery and discovery, similar to the mind of a child."
Wendi Welbes, also of Farmington, wanted to promote reading with her childcare center. And she thought what better way to do that than to include classic storybook characters and nursery rhymes, such as "Three Blind Mice," "Jack and Jill" and "Hickory Dickory Dock." Her toddler room followed a Disney theme, replete with classic characters Donald Duck and Tinkerbell, along with the modern Buzz Lightyear and characters from "Monsters, Inc."
"I think they're fantastic," Eland said of the student projects. "This is the first finished model they had the opportunity to do."
"This is a good opportunity for the students," said Kenneth Crutcher, an adjunct faculty member who teaches one of the "Interior Design Four" classes. He also is a Detroit architect and owns Crutcher Studio. "This is a real client with real-world issues. This helps a client moving out of space. Hopefully, whatever their expectations are, we can raise them."

Based in the South East of England, Milton Keynes is a relatively new, but thriving town. Formally designated as a new town nearly 50 years ago, there are over 171,000 residents, and when Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Woburn Sands are taken into account, it means the urban area has a population of almost 230,000. With its numerous recruitment agencies and convenient transport links, Milton Keynes is a place packed with employment opportunities.
The majority of recruitment agencies are located in close proximity to one another, surrounded by Bradwell Common, Oldbrook, Loughton and Fishermead. A few are outside of this concentration of agencies, but all are ideally situated near to the A5 and A509. Agencies offer a mix of permanent, temporary and contract roles. The vast majority of employment firms hire for a combination of sectors, including Healthcare, HR and Legal. The town though, does also contain agencies that specialise in particular sectors.

Forum Theme:
"Action Research: Empowering the Cultural Heritage Community and Mapping Out Next Steps for Software Preservation"
The forum's theme, "Action Research: Empowering the Cultural Heritage Community and Mapping Out Next Steps for Software Preservation" reflects the mission of the Software Preservation Network (SPN) to solicit community input and build consensus around future steps for a national strategy for software preservation.
The SPN project team believes that the practice of critical reflection around software preservation must incorporate members from complementary domains to actively participate in a coordinated effort to develop a sustainable, national strategy for proprietary software licensing and collection – pulling heavily from the collective, lived experience and expertise of researcher-practitioners in software development, law, archives, libraries, museums, and other domains.
Topics that will be covered include:
- Research findings regarding the current software preservation landscape and implications for future work
- Current collaborations/consortial efforts
- Legal/policy aspects of software preservation
- Preservation efforts
- Emulated or virtualized access options
- Organizational structures that have worked for other multi-institutional initiatives that may work for software preservation
- Actionable next steps at the consortial and local/institutional levels

Although dermal fibroblasts are one of the first cell types exposed to West Nile virus (WNV) during a blood meal by an infected mosquito, little is known about WNV replication within this cell type. Here, we demonstrate that neuroinvasive, WNV-New York (WNV-NY), and nonneuroinvasive, WNV-Australia (WNV-AUS60) strains are able to infect and replicate in primary human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). However, WNV-AUS60 replication and spread within HDFs was reduced compared to that of WNV-NY due to an interferon (IFN)-independent reduction in viral infectivity early in infection. Additionally, replication of both strains was constrained late in infection by an IFN-β-dependent reduction in particle infectivity. Overall, our data indicates that human dermal fibroblasts are capable of supporting WNV replication; however, the low infectivity of particles produced from HDFs late in infection suggests that this cell type likely plays a limited role as a viral reservoir
West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic
The WNV genome is approximately 11 kb in length and consists of a single open reading frame encoding three structural proteins (Capsid, Premembrane, and Envelope) and seven nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5). Based on the phylogenetic analysis of partial genomic sequences of structural genes, WNV has been grouped into five lineages and two clades, which differ from each other by 20%–27% [
WNV is primarily maintained in nature in an enzootic transmission cycle between avian hosts and mosquito vectors. Though mosquitos can transmit WNV to humans and other mammals, this normally results in a dead-end infection since levels of viremia are not sufficient for transmission back to the mosquito vector [
As one of the first cell types exposed to WNV during a mosquito's blood meal, the nonmigrating cells within the skin may function as an early reservoir for WNV infection. Keratinocytes, the major cell type comprising the epidermal layer of the skin, have been shown to support high levels of WNV replication [
Because dermal fibroblasts are likely one of the first cell types to become infected following the blood meal of a mosquito, we compared the replication kinetics of insect cell-passaged WNV-NY and WNV-AUS60 in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) using a multistep growth curve. Both neuroinvasive, WNV-NY, and nonneuroinvasive, WNV-AUS60, strains replicated within HDFs without obvious induction of cytopathic effects (CPE) (data not shown) and reached peak infectious particle production between 20 and 24 h post-infection (
We hypothesized that WNV-AUS60 multiplication in HDFs is reduced compared to that of WNV-NY, due to a defect in cell-to-cell spread. Therefore, we examined viral protein expression in infected cells by immunofluorescence assay (IFA). While multi-cell foci of infected cells were detected in WNV-NY-infected cultures after 24 h, WNV protein expression was primarily restricted to single cells within WNV-AUS60-infected cultures. The detection of unicellular foci suggests that WNV-AUS60 is restricted in its ability to spread from cell to cell within the HDF monolayer compared to WNV-NY (
West Nile virus (WNV) replication in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). HDF cells were infected (MOI = 0.05) with WNV-NY or WNV-AUS60. (
The restriction of viral spread within HDF cultures was suggestive of paracrine protection by type-I IFN since WNV infection has previously been shown to be controlled by IFN-α/β in other
Based on these results, we reassessed IFN levels in supernatants from WNV-NY and WNV-AUS60 infections using a bioassay on HDFs. Using this more sensitive assay, approximately 2 IU/mL of IFN were detected in supernatants recovered from WNV-NY- and WNV-AUS60-infected cells at 24 h post-infection (
To confirm that the low levels of IFN produced in response to WNV infection were sufficient to suppress viral replication, we measured WNV-NY infectious particle production in HDFs treated with UV-inactivated supernatants recovered from mock- or WNV-AUS60-infected cultures. WNV-NY titers were reduced by approximately 2 logs in cultures treated with UV-inactivated WNV-AUS60 supernatants compared to cultures treated with mock supernatants (
Antiviral response to WNV-AUS60 and WNV-NY in HDFs. (
Inhibitory capacity of UV-inactivated supernatants recovered from WNV-AUS60-infected HDFs. (
To directly assess the effect of IFN on WNV replication, we examined infectious particle production in the presence and absence of neutralizing antibodies to IFN-α or IFN-β. As expected, neutralization of IFN-α had no effect on infectious virus production, indicating that IFN-α was not expressed at these time points and therefore, does not play a role in initially controlling WNV replication in human dermal fibroblasts (

HDF cells were infected with WNV-NY or WNV-AUS60 (MOI = 0.05) and the inoculum was removed after 1 h and replaced with complete DMEM containing specified isotype control antisera or neutralizing antibodies to (
Key steps in the viral life cycle leading up to infectious particle production include translation and replication of the viral genome, assembly of the virus particle at the ER membrane, transport of virus particles through the secretory pathway, and finally virus release. To assess whether the lower viral set point for WNV-AUS60 was due to impairment at or before the stage of viral assembly and release, we compared WNV-NY and WNV-AUS60 total virus particle production using a virus counter. The virus counter utilizes two dyes in a flow cytometry-based system that simultaneously detects nucleic acid and protein, thereby excluding empty particles and cellular debris from the analysis. Similar levels of total viral particles were detected for WNV-NY and WNV-AUS60 at 24 and 48 h post-infection (
In studies utilizing several different viruses, infected cells treated with IFN produced viral particles with lower infectivity compared to untreated control cells [

Primary human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) derived from neonatal foreskin were kindly provided by Alison McBride (NIH). Vero, A549, and HDF cell lines were propagated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) (Mediatech, Manassas, VA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (BioWhittaker, Walkersville, MD, USA), antibiotic/antimycotic solution, and nonessential amino acids (complete DMEM). C6/36 cells were propagated at 28 °C in 5% CO2 in Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) (Mediatech) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotic-antimycotic solution (complete MEM). A WNV-NY strain 3356 stock was generated by passaging virus obtained from the the infectious clone pFL-WNV [
HDFs were grown in 12-well tissue culture plates and infected with serially-diluted WNV-NY or WNV-AUS60. After 1 h, inoculum was removed and replaced with complete DMEM in 10% methylcellulose. At 24 h post-infection, monolayers were washed three times with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) and fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature. Cell monolayers were permeabilized with a solution of PBS/0.2% Triton X-100, blocked with PBS containing 1% normal goat serum, and incubated with WNV hyperimmune ascitic fluid (1:1000, World Reference Center of Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses) followed by Dylight 549 nm-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:800, Jackson ImmunoLaboratories, West Grove, PA, USA). Foci were visualized with an Olympus IX51 microscope (Olympus America Inc., Center Valley, PA, USA).
Cell cultures were infected with WNV-NY or WNV-AUS60 (MOI = 0.05). The amount of virus added to cultures to achieve the indicated MOI was calculated using the titer of the viral stock as determined on HDFs using a focus forming assay as described above. Cultures were incubated for 1 h at 37 °C with rocking, the inoculum was removed and complete DMEM was added. Culture supernatants were recovered at the indicated times, clarified by low speed centrifugation for 5 min, transferred to new tubes, and stored at −80 °C. Viral titers were determined by plaque assay on Vero cells.
Monolayers of Vero cells in six-well plates were inoculated with serial dilutions of viral samples. The cells were incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C with rocking for 30 min (VSV) or 1 h (WNV). The inoculum was removed and a 0.9% agarose-complete DMEM overlay added. VSV plaques were counted 24 h post-infection. For WNV titration, cell monolayers were incubated for 48 h and a second overlay of agarose-containing complete DMEM supplemented with 0.003% neutral red (ICN Biomedical, Irvine, CA, USA) was added. The plates were incubated for an additional 48 (WNV-NY) to 72 h (WNV-AUS60) prior to counting plaques. All titers were performed in duplicate.
Total RNA was extracted from HDFs infected with WNV (MOI = 0.05) using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Inc., Grand Island, NY, USA) and treated with Turbo DNA-free (Invitrogen). RNA levels were determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis on a Roche LC480 using Veriquest One-Step SYBR green MasterMix (Affymetrix Biosystems, Santa Clara, CA, USA) with 25 ng of RNA. The following primers were used: WNV(s): 5′ TGGAACCACCCTTTGGAG 3′; WNV(as): 5′ GTCCCAAGCTGTGTCTCC 3′; hGAPDH(s): 5′ CCACTCCTCCACCTTTGAC 3′; hGAPDH(as): 5′ ACCCTGTTGCTGTAGCCA 3′.
HDFs were grown on coverslips and infected with WNV-AUS60 or WNV-NY at an MOI of 0.05. After 1 h, inoculum was removed and replaced with complete DMEM. At 24 h post-infection, monolayers were washed with PBS and fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature. Cell monolayers were permeabilized with a solution of PBS/0.2% Triton X-100, blocked with PBS containing 1% normal goat serum, and incubated with WNV hyperimmune ascitic fluid (1:1000, World Reference Center of Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses) followed by Dylight 549 nm-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:800, Jackson ImmunoLaboratories) and Hoescht stain (0.1 µg/mL). Cells were visualized with an Olympus IX51 microscope equipped with a digital camera.
Cultures of HDFs grown on 6-well plates were infected with WNV at an MOI of 0.05. At the indicated times post-infection, cells were removed from plates by trypsinization, washed twice with PBS and fixed in 3% paraformaldehyde. Cells were permeabilized with PBS/0.2% Triton X-100, blocked in PBS containing 0.5% heat-inactivated FBS and probed with WNV hyperimmune ascitic fluid (1:1000, World Reference Center of Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses) followed by DyLight 549 nm conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:2000). For flow cytometry analysis, 100,000 single cell events were collected using a FACS Canto (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).
Cells were washed twice with PBS and lysed in RIPA buffer (10 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% Na-deoxycholate, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS]) containing protease inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Proteins (20 µg) were resolved on 10%–12% polyacrylamide gels containing SDS and transferred to NitroPure nitrocellulose membranes (Micron Separations Inc., Westborough, MA, USA). Blots were blocked overnight at 4 °C and probed with the following monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies: polyclonal rabbit anti-GAPDH (1:4000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), polyclonal mouse anti-WNV hyperimmune ascetic fluid (1:1000; World Reference Center of Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses), polyclonal rabbit anti-ISG56 (1:2000; kindly provided by Dr. Ganes Sen), polyclonal rabbit anti-ISG15 (1:2500; kindly provided by Dr. Arthur Haas), polyclonal rabbit anti-phospho-STAT-2 (1:1000; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), polyclonal rabbit anti-STAT-2 (1:1000; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), monoclonal mouse anti-phospho-STAT-1 (1:100; Santa Cruz), polyclonal mouse-anti-STAT-1 (1:1000; Cell signaling, Boston, MA, USA), and polyclonal rabbit anti-IRF-9 (1:200; Santa Cruz). Following a secondary incubation with peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit or goat anti-mouse (Millipore) and treatment with ECL+ Western Blotting detection reagents (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA), the protein bands were visualized by exposure of the membrane to film.
UV-inactivation was carried out by exposing a 1 mL aliquot of supernatant recovered form mock- or WNV-infected HDF to UV (254 nm) for 2 min at room temperature in a Stratalinker Model XL-1000 (Spectronics Corp., Westbury, NY, USA). Titers of UV-treated supernatants were below detectible levels by plaque assay on Vero cells, confirming complete inactivation of the WNV-infected supernatants.
A549 or HDF cells in 24-well plates were treated with two-fold serial dilutions of human IFN-β (BEI Resources, Manassas, VA, USA) or cell-free, UV-inactivated supernatants recovered from mock or WNV-infected HDFs. Cultures were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C, infected with VSV (MOI = 1) and supernatants were collected at 24 h post-infection. VSV titers were determined by plaque assay on Vero cells as described above. IFN concentrations were determined based on a standard curve generated from the titers of VSV recovered from samples treated with serial dilutions of IFN-β.
The antibody concentration necessary to neutralize the IFN present in supernatants recovered from WNV-infected HDFs was determined by pretreating A549 cells for 24 h with 25 IU/mL of IFN-α or IFN-β in the presence of 2-fold serial dilutions of the antibodies to IFN-α (NR-3089; BEI resources) or IFN-β (NR-3091; BEI resources). Control wells consisted of cells treated with IFN only, no IFN or isotype matched antisera to IFN-α or IFN-β. Pretreated cells were infected with VSV (MOI = 1) and supernatants were collected at 24 h post-infection. Viral titers were determined by plaque assay on Vero cells. Culture supernatants were neutralized with twice the amount of antibody necessary to neutralize 25 IU/mL IFN-α or IFN-β or the appropriate control antisera (NR-3089 or NR-3090; BEI resources) for 1 h at 37 °C. For neutralization during WNV-infection, HDFs were inoculated with WNV (MOI = 0.05) for 1 hour at 37 °C and the inoculum was replaced with complete DMEM containing neutralizing antibodies to IFN-α/IFN-β or the appropriate control antisera. In wells that contained supernatants to be collected at 48 h post-infection, supplemental antisera were added at 24 h post-infection.
Culture supernatants were cleared by low speed centrifugation for 5 min and analyzed using the Virus Counter 2100 (ViroCyt LLC, Denver, CO, USA) as per the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, samples were diluted 1:10 or 1:30 to a total volume of 100 µL and incubated in the dark for 30 min with 50 µL of Combo dye, which stains nucleic acid and protein. Two-channel fluorescence was used to detect co-localization of nucleic acid and protein. Events with simultaneous detection within both channels were defined as virus particles by Virocyt software.
Graphpad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA) was used for all statistical analyses. Comparative significance was determined with unpaired Student's t-tests.
Here we demonstrate that both nonneuroinvasive and neuroinvasive strains of WNV are capable of establishing an infection within human dermal fibroblasts. However, a strain-specific defect in infectious particle production limits the ability of WNV-AUS60 to disseminate from the initial site of infection, resulting in a lower viral set point compared to WNV-NY. The defect in WNV-AUS60 infectious particle production was not specific to human dermal fibroblasts. WNV-AUS60 exhibited both a smaller plaque phenotype and reduced titers compared to WNV-NY on Vero cells (data not shown). It is unclear why WNV-AUS60 particles are less infectious than those of WNV-NY. A recent study demonstrated that mutant alphaviruses with higher error rates are reduced in their infectivity compared to wild-type [
We also demonstrated that WNV replication is restricted late in infection through an IFN-β-mediated reduction in viral infectivity. While many strains of WNV are capable of inhibiting IFN signaling [

Star-studded affair commemorates Steelers' 75th
Dressed in a tuxedo, "Mean" Joe Greene looked anything but messy.
But that is not the only reason why the Pro Football Hall of Famer raised his eyebrows when asked about the label Dwight White tagged on him from their days of sharing an apartment together in Pittsburgh.
White, he said, was actually the messy one. To back up his claim, Greene talked about how the plates and silverware in their apartment gradually disappeared -- and how he got the answer to the question that had perplexed him when the two moved out of the apartment.
"All of the silverware and plateware were under his bed," Greene said with a laugh, "because he was having late-night sacks."
Sunday was a night for former teammates to swap old stories -- and in Greene's case refute them -- as the Steelers and enough fans to seemingly fill an entire section at Heinz Field came together at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to celebrate the 75th anniversary of a franchise that has become a Pittsburgh institution.
Members of the Steelers' All-Time and Legends teams were honored at a dinner emceed by NFL Films' Steve Sabol, and the evening served as a time to toast the Steelers and reflect on how unique their success has been.
Few franchises have won as much as the Steelers, as they are one of only three teams with five Super Bowl titles.
Four of those were won during the 1970s when Greene, an incomparable tackle, did a much better job of tracking down opposing quarterbacks than he did missing forks and when the offense proved to be every bit the equal of the intimidating defense that came to be known as the Steel Curtain.
"We are the most successful team in the NFL over the last 20, 30 years," Steelers chairman Dan Rooney said.
Stability has been a major reason for the Steelers' success.
The team has been owned by the Rooney family since its inception and has had just three head coaches since 1969.
The Steelers, meanwhile, have the feel of an extended family, said running back Rocky Bleier, because of the number of former players who still have strong ties to the organization and to the city of Pittsburgh.
"Look at all of the players (from the) '70s and '80s that stayed here," said Bleier, who still lives in Pittsburgh and joined Franco Harris and Jerome Bettis as the running backs on the All-Time team. "It's a pretty good core of guys. You're always a Steeler, you know?"
That feeling is what prompted Hall of Fame wide receiver John Stallworth to travel from Alabama to Pittsburgh for the festivities, which continue tonight when the Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens.
And it explained why former greats such as Jack Ham, Rod Woodson and Carnell Lake found themselves riding in an elevator together last night.
They had all returned to celebrate some of the best years of their lives.
"It has all been a wonderful journey," Greene said. "There are many teams in the NFL. They all don't share what we have here in Pittsburgh."

A look back at what happened this weekend in the Big 12 Conference:
What we learned: Oklahoma State ain't LSU. Or Alabama. The Cowboys' deficiencies on defense were all the more glaring – at least to channel clickers – as they completed a wild, 52-45 win over Kansas State at the same the two SEC heavyweights were playing out their 9-6 overtime classic some 700 miles away. A week after Baylor piled up 622 yards on OSU, K-State gained 507 and almost certainly would have scored a third time in the final, back-and-forth 5 1/2 minutes had the Wildcats not run out of time. Maybe OSU's offensive pyrotechnics are enough to get by in the Big 12, but national titles tend to require a little more resistance across the line.
Best performance: Quarterback Collin Klein fumbled on K-State's second offensive possession, and missed on a couple of final passes into the end zone as the Wildcats fought to force OT. But in between, the third-year junior was magnificent. He finished with 144 yards and three touchdowns rushing, threw for a career-high 231 yards and another score, and kept directing the 'Cats down the field in crunch time. Among QBs, only Michigan's Denard Robinson is averaging more than Klein's 100.7 yards on the ground.
Biggest disappointment: A week after Oklahoma lost walk-on turned leading rusher Dominique Whaley to a fractured ankle, the Sooners suffered an even crueler blow. Receiver Ryan Broyles, well on his way to repeating as an All-American, blew out his left knee early in their 41-25 win over Texas A&M. "He is a special, special player that everyone has talked about all year. And for that to happen, it's just deflating for him and for all of us," coach Bob Stoops said of the NCAA's all-time leader in receptions (with a career 349). Broyles ended his senior season with 83 catches for 1,157 yards and 10 TDs.
Looking ahead: Yes, Texas Tech has flatlined – losing by 34 to Iowa State, then 32 at Texas – since knocking Oklahoma from the top of the polls and the BCS rankings. But that upset isn't distant enough to be disregarded as Oklahoma State brings its No. 2 ranking Lubbock on Saturday.

Flanked by two of his eight screen 'wives', Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers - who plays Henry VIII in the historic drama - turned heads at a launch party for season three in New York this week.
The 31-year-old, slim-hipped and gorgeous in a pale grey suit, was escorting his young British co-stars Tamzin Merchant, left, and Annabelle Wallis to the party.
Both Tamzin and Annabelle, who's the niece of the late Richard Harris, star opposite the Irish actor in the new series, with Tamzin making her debut as his fifth wife Katherine Howard and Annabelle stepping in to replace Anita Briem as Jane Seymour.
There is another new addition to the show coming up, too. Joss Stone is to make her TV debut playing wife number four, Anne of Cleves.
With three marriages and a beheading on the cards, the next series offers plenty of action plus, Jonathan reveals, a change in the persona of the leading man. "He looks different, and I think in season three Henry realises just how powerful he is and everyone will suffer," star he says.

Miranda Lambert has made her mark on contemporary country music, with the breakout success of "Kerosene" in 2004 and the follow-up success of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and "Revolution" which cemented her as a player in the big leagues of country. Her fourth album, "Four the Record" (iTunes), keeps her forward motion going.
Backed by a recent nod from the Country Music Awards as the female vocalist of the year for the second year in a row, Lambert continues to be one of the most refreshing mainstream country artists.
Released just two years after the highly acclaimed "Revolution," "Four the Record" covers all the feisty, firey bases that have always made Miranda stand out.
It wouldn't be a Miranda Lambert album without a couple of anthems of crazed responses to heartbreak, or a whiskey-fueled night on the town, like in the sinisterly-offbeat "Mama's Broken Heart" or the fun and fast-paced rocker "Fastest Girl In Town."
"Mama's Broken Heart," with its clever lyrics, compares an enraged lovers' breakup coping skills to that of her more proper and reserved mother.
"Fastest Girl in Town," co-written by Lambert and Angaleena Presley of Lambert's side project the Pistol Annies, covers a wild night with men, whiskey and cigarettes, true to form for Miranda's loveable badass persona, but with a fresh and fun twist.
"Four the Record" also delves into the softer side of the newlywed star, with a duet between Lambert and her new husband Blake Shelton. "Oklahoma Sky" was written for the couple about starting their life together in the middle-American state, while the pop-ballad "Safe" lets listeners into Lambert's vulnerable side. "Easy Living" is nothing more than a lighthearted, simple love song about her new life companion.
Tracks like the radio hit "Baggage Claim" and "Same Old You" tell tales of finally leaving a man after being fed up with a his cheating or drinking, but the songs are on both sides of the musical spectrum. "Baggage Claim" is a modern pop country powerhouse fit perfectly for radio airplay, while "Same Old You," written by Brandy Carlile, seems to channel old school country mavens Patsy Cline or Tammy Wynette, with soft and simple slide guitar backing twangy and soulful vocals.
Unlike previous albums, where Lambert wrote the majority of the material, "Four The Record" features only half-written or co-written songs by Lambert, but she takes ownership of each of the carefully chosen songs she covers, pulling together an album that is strong from song to song. Whether it be rocking and whiskey soaked, offbeat and insane, straight up pop or straight up country, Miranda Lambert can handle it without missing a beat.

Definition of quietus
quietus was our Word of the Day on 03/10/2012. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Examples of quietus in a Sentence
was granted a quietus on the remainder of the debt in the old man's will
her unshakable belief in a blissful afterlife allowed her to meet her quietus without the slightest tinge of fear or regret
Did You Know?
In the early 1500s, English speakers adopted the Medieval Latin phrase quietus est (literally "he is quit") as the name for the writ of discharge exempting a baron or knight from payment of a knight's fee to the king. The expression was later shortened to "quietus" and applied to the termination of any debt. William Shakespeare was the first to use "quietus" as a metaphor for the termination of life: "For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, … When he himself might his quietus make / With a bare bodkin?" (Hamlet). The third meaning, which is more influenced by "quiet" than "quit," appeared in the 19th century. It often occurs in the phrase "put the quietus on" (as in, "The bad news put the quietus on their celebration").
Origin and Etymology of quietus

Michael Lohan Stays True to Form, Blabs to Media About His Intervention Attempt
Say what you will about Michael Lohan—the man's reliable. Oh, not as a father, but as a first-class attention whore, he's completely dependable.
One day after barging into his daughter Lindsay's home in a supposed attempt to stage an intervention for his troubled offspring, Papa Lo has done what he does best and run blabbing to the nearest media outlet, giving Us Magazine a play-by-play of his headline-grabbing heroism.
According to Lohan, he was appalled by the state of the apartment that Lindsay and her 16-year-old sister Ali were occupying. As Papa Lo reveals in his harrowing tale, the place was "a mess," and it only went downhill from there:
"I said, 'Ali, it's dad, and I'm with the sheriffs.' Ali poked her head out of the bedroom, and I walked up to her and I said, 'What's going on, honey? Are you okay?' and she started crying…Then I looked in the bedroom; there was a mattress on the floor with no furniture. Lindsay was laying on the mattress, sleeping."
Wait, isn't Lindsay a self-confessed hoarder? The lack of furniture seems a little out of character.
Anyway, as the elder Lohan continues, LiLo's eyes were "pale and bloodshot, and her hair was a mess." She also, in Michael's estimation, "looked like she was hit by a truck":
"She came up to me and said, 'What are you doing here?' And I said, 'I want to check on Ali, and I want to know you're okay. I want to sit down and talk to you.' Then she said, 'Get out of my apartment!' She started yelling at the police. Some random girl, who looked like she's anorexic and on heroin, walked out of the other room, and I said, 'Who are you?' and she said, 'I'm her friend,' and I said, 'Listen, friend, step out of the way, this is between me and my daughters!'"
Sure, Mike; it's between you and your daughters. And whatever media outlet will listen to you.

PASSAIC, N.J. -- The winner of a $338 million Powerball jackpot told several media outlets Monday that his first priority will be helping his family.
Pedro Quezada, 44, entered Eagle Liquors store, where the ticket was sold, late Monday afternoon. The Passaic store owner ran Quezada's ticket through the lottery machine to validate that it was a winner as a newspaper and television outlets recorded the moment.
The New Jersey Lottery confirmed that the winning ticket was validated at the store at 4:30 p.m. Monday, but officials said they didn't yet know the winner's name.
Quezada told reporters in Spanish that he was "very happy" and that he intends to help his family.
His wife, Ines Sanchez, told The Bergen Record that Quezada called her with the news Monday afternoon.
"I still can't believe it," she said. "We never expected it but thank God."
The numbers drawn Saturday were 17, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Powerball 31. A lump-sum payout would be $221 million, or about $152 million after taxes. It's the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history.
The family's apartment sits at the end of a short dead-end block that abuts a highway in Passaic, 15 miles northwest of New York City. Neighbors stood out in the rain Monday night and spoke with pride that one of their own had struck it rich.
Eladia Vazquez has lived across the street from Quezada's building for the past 25 years. The block has a half-dozen three-story brick apartment buildings on each side, and Vazquez said it's a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone, including what car they drive and what parking space they use.
Vazquez described Quezada and his wife as "quiet and not overly talkative" but sensed that they seemed to be working all the time.
"This is super for all of us on this block," she said. "They deserve it because they are hardworking people."
Richard Delgado, who lives down the block from Quezada's building, said the man was "a hard worker, like all of us here. We all get up in the morning and go to work."
Delgado said he got up Sunday morning and was going to take his dog for a walk when he heard the radio announce the Powerball results.
"When I heard there was one winner and it was in New Jersey, I immediately went and checked my tickets," Delgado said. "I wanted to be that guy."
When asked what it would be like to suddenly win such a large amount, Delgado said a person would have to set priorities.
"No. 1 is your health, because if you don't have that, the rest doesn't matter," he said. "No. 2 is your family. You take care of your own and live the rest of your life in peace. That's all anyone can do."
No one had won the Powerball jackpot since early February, when Dave Honeywell in Virginia bought the winning ticket and elected a cash lump sum for his $217 million jackpot.

Results of an aquifer test near Lynndyl, Utah
Open-File Report 82-514

AbstractAn aquifer test was conducted near Lynndyl, Utah, to determine the hydraulic characteristics of a deep artesian aquifer and its associated confining bed. A well completed in the aquifer was pumped continuously for 25 days and measurements of drawdown and recovery were made in 34 observation wells located within a 10-mile radius of the pumped well. Data from the tests were analyzed using the Hantush modified and Neuman and Witherspoon ratio methods for leaky confined aquifers in which the storage of water in the confining beds was taken into account. The aquifer transmissivity was calculated to be 12,700 feet squared per day, and the storage coefficient was 6.4 x 10^-5 . Calculated average vertical hydraulic conductivity of the confining bed was about 6 x 10^-3 foot per day with the specific storage of the confining bed calculated to be 5.4 x 10^-6 per foot.

- Pruning Climbing Rose Bushes
Pruning Climbing Rose Bushes
I have the "climbing rose bushes" and they are as tall as the gutters on my single story house. When is the best time to prune back the rose bushes? How low can I cut them back?
The best time to prune most roses is late February when the "eyes" or growth buds on the canes begin to swell and turn red. The first thing to do is cut back any dead wood and crossing branches to clean up the rose. Next cut back the canes a couple feet from the height you'd like them to be. You can cut roses back to 2 or 3 feet but they may not reach the height you prefer during one growing season.
Climbing roses bloom on canes that are 2 to 3 years old. Be aware that if you remove a lot of the older wood, you may sacrifice some or all of the blooms for the season.

Eat a Delicious Beignet after Strolling the Old Streets of New Orleans' Famed French Quarter
Published by Kristin Cowles, Editor-in-Chief
Country: United States
The Experience
The French Quarter is the oldest district in New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 1718 by the French, it is known by locals as Vieux Carre (old square) as it reflects the art and architecture of the Spanish era. Descending down the world famous Bourbon Street with beads around our necks, we caught an energetic rendition of the Rocky theme song wafting out from a nearby karaoke bar. As the sun began its journey into the darkness, we decided to make room in our tummies for the famed beignets from the Café du Monde. At the north end of the French Market, Café du Monde is a pillar in the heart of the French Quarter. Established in 1862, Café du Monde is known far and wide for its chicory blended coffee, smooth café au lait and French-style beignets.
Further along the promenade in the courtyard of St. Anthony's Garden, our eyes grew wide as a statue of Jesus Christ lengthened its grand shadow along the backdrop of the St. Louis Cathedral. Located on Chartes Street, St. Louis Cathedral is the oldest operating cathedral in the United States, and is flanked by other historic buildings on the edge of the Jackson Square. These include the Cabildo (the old city hall) and Presbytère (an old court house), now both of which are museums.
Walking alongside St. Louis Cathedral and down the dimly lit Pirates Alley, the sun had now set fully and the history of the French Quarter takes on a more ghostly and spectral identity. Pirates Alley leads into the main breadth of the historic Jackson Square where local restaurants emit a palpable odour of creole and cajun seasoning that consumes the night air. Here, you can watch tarot card readers tell fortunes or local artisans bring to life their surroundings. Horse and carriage rides pass by close to the pavement, and the spirited crowds of pedestrians carry plastic cups filled with cocktails.
Crossing over Decatur Street, which runs parallel to the Mississippi River, you can catch the faint glimpses of local Cajun, Zydeco, Jazz, and Blues music. Street performers line the walkway, and from the top of the embankment you can sit on a bench and star-gaze out over the great Mississippi River. A suitable end to a sensory-stuffed stroll.
When to Go to French Quarter
The best time to visit the French Quarter from a party perspective is during a festival or a holiday season, such as: Mardi Gras, Halloween, New Year, Jazz Festival, Voo Doo Festival, etc. Scheduling a bachelor or bachelorette party in the French Quarter would also be an unforgettable and legendary experience.
Odds n' Ends
The one-way streets within the French Quarter are small and narrow, so there aren't any bus tours along these streets. For an intimate historical approach to the French Quarter, a walking tour or a horse and carriage ride is your best bet. If you're brave enough, don't be afraid to ask your horse and carriage guide to give you a haunted history tour (and check out the ghost, voodoo, or vampire walking tours at night!).
New Orleans is the home of the cocktail, and its bar staff take their jobs very seriously. They are easily approachable and enjoy a good conversation about cocktails and the history of their bar, city or street. New Orleans is also one of the few cities in the US where you can walk along the streets with alcohol (in plastic containers); so do take advantage! They also have a few absinthe bars, which are very hard to come by.
The French Quarter is easy to stroll around, and it's a great place to see what you can stumble upon. Don't just peer in along its edges or only go on Bourbon St—get in there and explore it! Go antiquing along Royal Street, examine the bronze plaques on historical buildings, walk along the Mississippi River, enjoy the local art, absorb the culture, haggle over souvenirs at the French Market—and most importantly: eat your way through it.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
my friend used to download porn long times ago but he dont do it anymore, and he actually thinking about paying for a membership online so he can watch it legally, should he do it since they actually requested personal info for credit card? would they use that info to go after himand when my friend about to sign up, they actually want to recorded his ip address for security reason
I am not sure how this is a criminal question. Like it or not most of the recent technology that we all use today is due to the porn industry. It is one of the largest money makers on the internet and generates billions of dollars. So I would say yes people legally pay for memberships to porn sights all the time.

no, my friend used to download porn like a years ago but he dont do it anymore but want to sign up for a membership and they ask to record the ip address and he dont really want to
Then don't sign up. Robert Driessen www.TheOCduiGuy.com
I also agree that if he is uncomfortable giving this information he should not sign up.
Porn where the actors are no younger than 18 is fine. The age of consent to act in porn in Great Britain is 16, so a lot of the porn which shows girls obviously younger comes out of Great Britain or other European countries. If it is righteous adult porn, the only thing he has to worry about is his wife or girlfriend.Ask a similar question
no for an account
You do not have a question. If he wants to sign up he does. If not he does not. No one cares about the illegal porn he downloaded years ago (except if this was child porn). If he does not want to agree to the membership terms then do not sign. Robert Driessen www.TheOCduiGuy.com
It is legal to watch pornography on your home computer. It can be addicting, though.
Child pornography is a separate matter and is to be avoided at all costs.
Like buying anything over the Internet, there are risks when giving out personal information. He may want to acquire a low-limit cash card and use that rather than his regular credit card if worried about financial information falling into the wrong hands.

Mr. Harrington's comments about child porn are well taken. I had a secretary with my office for a short time who hit some link that put pornography on an office computer. It may have been a mistake. She did not last long.
What if they download kiddie porn on your computer mixed with the other stream, especially over time and threaten to turn you in if you stop. You computer will have a long duration record of all sorts of stuff making you look very guilty. When you click, you don't always know what you will get.
If you have a chance, go and look at the army, navy & air force courts of appeals websites. They convict people very often where it is discovered on their computers. Not just government computers but home computers also.

By the sound of your question it seems as if you are a young man. I would ask that you examine the question, why you need pornography in your life? What is missing in terms of doing more useful things with your life and accomplishing something significant. I know of no good reason for a someone your age to start down this road of paying for pornography which only degrades and objectifies women. Why don't you spend the time you would be staring at the computer screen and actually devote that time to developing a real relationship with a real woman. I would seriously ask yourself why it is you need to resort to this. Anyway, those are my thoughts on the subject.Ask a similar question

Kings to meet Ducks at Dodger Stadium
By QMI AGENCY
Hockey fans in southern California will need to break out the sunscreen.
The Los Angeles Kings will host the Anaheim Ducks at Dodger Stadium on Jan. 25, 2014, as part of the NHL's stadium series next season.
Temperatures in January usually hover around 20C in L.A., generally not ideal for an outdoor hockey game.
"Dodger Stadium has been home to many unique and special moments over the past 51 years," Dodgers president Stan Kasten said. "We'll add another first in 2014 when the Dodger Stadium infield turns to ice as we host our first NHL game between the Kings and the Ducks."
This is the third outdoor game to be made official after it was announced the Toronto Maple Leafs will hook up with Original Six rival Detroit Red Wings at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on New Year's Day.
Additionally, the Pittsburgh Penguins will make a trip west to play the Chicago Blackhawks at Soldier Field on March 1, 2014.

Independent MP
Police officers took documents, a hard drive and samples of Mr Thomson's writing from his Bateau Bay home early Wednesday morning and later searched his Tuggerah electoral office on behalf of the Victoria Police fraud squad. Journalists, who were tipped off, waited outside.
The Victorian police's Operation Vespine is focused on whether Mr Thomson used a union credit card to pay for prostitutes and travel during his time as HSU national secretary before he entered Parliament for the Labor Party in 2007. The national union was then based in Melbourne.
Several of the allegations are said to overlap with civil charges laid against Mr Thomson by Fair Work Australia last week, with initial hearings due on December 7. The lawsuit claims 37 breaches of general duties imposed on union officers and 25 breaches of HSU rules.
Mr Thomson, who denies the FWA allegations, was in his home with his wife Zoe Arnold during Wednesday's raids.
"Can I say, I've done nothing wrong and we are fully co-operating with the police in relation to this investigation," he told reporters outside his home.
Mr Thomson said he expected the Victoria Police investigation would be finished by the end of the year and he would not be charged.
"I am very confident that I will be found to have done nothing wrong, and I will be vindicated at the end of this," he said.
The Member for Dobell suspended his membership from the Australian Labor Party in April to sit as an independent MP soon after. In May Fair Work Australia released its report into the national union showing Mr Thomson had breached 156 workplace laws as head of the union.
His vote remains important to the minority Gillard government.
Mr Thomson's lawyer, Chris McCardle, criticised the high-profile nature of the raid.
"He's very, very distressed. This was a complete surprise to our client, his family and his staff," Mr McArdle said, noting Sydney media appeared to have advanced knowledge of the raids.
Detective Superintendent Brett Guerin of Victorian Serious Crime Operations complained about the presence of media at the raid.
"The last thing our detectives need is to be knocking on someone's door with a media scrum watching," he said. "It helps no-one but the media. Victoria Police is very conscious of the high-profile nature of this investigation and have been resolute in the information they have provided to the media."
NSW Police confirmed yesterday a separate investigation into Mr Thomson during his time as assistant secretary of the HSU East branch was continuing and no arrests were made yesterday.
Mr Thomson, together with former Labor factional leader and union head
NSW detective inspector David Christey said the evidence obtained yesterday would be sent to Victoria and might help NSW detectives with their investigation.
"We've certainly had a very good relationship with our Victoria counterpart," he said. "There's been a free flow of information between both the investigations."
Earlier in the month NSW detective superintendent Col Dyson told reporters he expected further charges were likely against several people by the end of the year in that case.
Strike Force Carnarvon has already charged Mr Williamson, who has denied doing anything wrong, with 20 offences including removing evidence as the NSW police raided HSU East in Sydney.
Coalition leader
"This is a tainted vote, a tainted vote that is absolutely crucial to Julia Gillard. The Prime minister will do whatever it takes to protect herself. She is not interested in protecting Australian families," he said.
"The police have shown a lot of diligence in trying to ensure that low-paid workers' money was not misused. I just wish the same diligence was shown by the federal government."
"Let's not forget it was the Prime Minister who was saying for months and years she had full confidence in Craig Thomson."
The government leader in the Senate, Chris Evans, said Mr Thomson was entitled to the presumption of innocence.
Fair Work Australia filed a 193-page lawsuit with the Federal Court last week.
The Australian Financial Review
