Hot on the heels of essentially confirming Battlefield Premium, DICE just announced a major patch to coincide with the release of Close Quarters that not only fixes the M26 DART glitch that has been plaguing the game since the previous March 2012 patch, but also adds colorblind support to consoles and a "§" symbol (what I call the Simoleon symbol from SimCity and The Sims fame) next to the names of servers that have custom rules on console server browsers.
Among these major changes comes a slew of fixes to weapons and vehicles such as Javelins now requiring a side-impact or better to 1-hit disable tanks and the ECM jammer functioning properly for jets and more reliable for both jets and helicopters.
Another change that I (and I'm sure many other tank drivers) will greatly appreciate is the reduction of damage on helicopter rockets to pre-1.04 patch values, as they became stupidly powerful after the patch. This will give heavy armor a little breather from the flying anti-tank guns that have been dominating the field with a good pilot and gunner team.
The patch hits June 4th for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 worldwide - except for Japan and Asia which will have to wait till the following day for the PS3 patch, but the Xbox 360 and PC patches will arrive on the 4th. Check out the full changelog below.
- Vehicle related changes
- > Tweaked the F35 handling to more closely resemble that of the SU35.
- > Jet & helicopter ECM Jammer should now deflect missiles more reliably when it is active.
- > Fixed an issue where vehicles wouldn't spawn if their intended space was occupied by a deployable gadget. The vehicle will now spawn as intended and the gadget will be destroyed in the process.
- > Fixed AA missiles not doing damage to vehicles moving at very high speeds.
- > Reduced the direct damage from unguided Javelins to require better side hits for a 1 hit disable. This was previously too forgiving and easy to accomplish.
- > Removed the direct damage from aircraft launched guided missiles. Players will need to have laser designated targets for full effectiveness.
- > Adjusted the helicopter rockets to their original prepatch damage value against armored vehicles. This is a reduction; a revert of a knock on effect that was introduced accidentally.
- > Fixed the US Tank Guided Shell doing the reverse damage values when guided and unguided.
- > Adjusted the M224 mortar damage against vehicles. Some tweaks and adjustments in a previous update accidentally increased its effectiveness greater than intended.
- > Increased the range on the AA guns so they can reach vehicles hovering at the maximum height in select maps.
- > Replaced the VDV buggy on Gulf of Oman (Back to Karkand) with the DPV buggy for both teams at the City flag.
- > Fixed a bug where some vehicle unlocks were still enabled after the player left the vehicle.
- Soldier and gadget related changes
- > Reduced the inaccuracy added when in suppression. There is still an enhanced suppression compared to the initial state in the game, but the effect is now less than it was in the last patch (see above).
- > Reduced input lag for gamepads/joysticks on all platforms. Aiming as a soldier when using a gamepad or joystick should now be more responsive.
- > Tweaked the deploy times on gadgets to be faster to deploy in high stress combat situations.
- > Greatly improved the responsiveness when deploying a bipod when going prone and shortly after moving. The bipod deploy should no longer abort if the player deploys the bipod immediately after stopping.
- > Fixed bug where you couldn't deploy the mortar anywhere on Grand Bazaar.
- > When changing the accessories of a weapon in the Customize screen, the weapon previously selected in the Deploy screen will now automatically be selected when entering the Accessories screen.
- > Increased the effectiveness of the Aim Assist at close range. Testing in Close Quarters proved our current assist to be inadequate in tight quarters. This is a global change, and will improve the effectiveness of Aim Assist for all modes and maps. Aim Assist over distance is still significantly less effective. This is console only, as Aim Assist is not present on PC. If you prefer, you can also turn it off on console.
- > Players will now spawn on the Radio Beacon looking in the same direction the Beacon is facing. The Beacon always faces in the direction the player is facing when it is planted. Previously the Beacon's direction had no impact on the player's spawn direction.
- > The Spawn Preview camera on the Spawn Beacon has been updated to better reflect the direction the player will be looking when he spawns.
- > 40mm smoke now stays longer again.
- > Tweaked some tracers on sniper rounds to have better visibility at range (the tracers are smaller).
- > Tweaked the flashlight so it is less blinding at the edge of the screen.
- > Fixed bug where you couldn't pick up your deployed gadgets after being revived.
- Weapons related changes
- > Fixed a bug where Heavy Barrels and Underslung Shotguns could be over powered.
- > All semi-automatic sniper rifles now properly have shorter range when using a suppressor.
- > The L96 now properly shoots where the iron sights are aimed. The position was previously offset.
- > The SKS now has the proper damage values when using a suppressor. The damage was previously too low at close range.
- > Slightly reduced the suppression effect of SKS rounds.
- > Decreased the long range damage of the SKS to highlight its close to medium range role.
- > Slightly decreased the foregrip aimed accuracy penalty on the M4A1 to bring it in line with other guns.
- > Slightly increased the foregrip aimed accuracy penalty on the SCAR-H to bring it in line with other guns.
- > Reduced some of the vertical recoil and zoomed accuracy penalties added to the FAMAS in the previous update.
- > F2000 foregrip accuracy penalty reduced and recoil reduction bonus increased.
- > AEK971 foregrip recoil reduction bonus increased.
- > SG553 foregrip recoil reduction bonus increased.
- > FAMAS foregrip recoil reduction bonus increased.
- > Fixed the M416's M26 with Flechettes not having a name in the kill log.
- > Fixed so all clip based LMGs have Extended Mags as an available unlock.
- > All semi-automatic shotguns now fire at 220rpm. There was previously simply a small difference between them, whereas now they have different pellet counts instead of rates of fire.
- > Improved the recoil and accuracy of the M26 to match the 870.
- > Reduced the impact suppression has on shotguns. Shotguns are still affected by Suppression but it should no longer significantly impact their accuracy from the hip as it previously did.
- > The 870's pump speed has been increased slightly from 0.55 seconds to 0.48 seconds. The empty reload time for the 870 has also been reduced slightly.
- > Improved the accuracy of aimed shotguns when on the move.
- > The Saiga's recoil has been reduced.
- > The M1014 now fires 10 projectiles. The other semi auto shotguns have 9 pellets, and since the M1014 has a lower mag size and a slower reload it now fires 10 pellets to give it some edge.
- > The USAS-12 now fires 7 projectiles.
- > The MK3A1 now fires 8 projectiles.
- > Fixed so the weapon's fire mode is saved between spawns.
- Miscellaneous changes
- > Added colorblind option for consoles (see above).
- > Added colorblind icon for squad leader (all formats).
- > Added the option for console server admins to show a symbol in the server browser signifying custom rules are in effect (see above).
- > Fixed an issue where footsteps couldn't be heard behind you.
- > Fixed so that the arming of an M-COM station will not be cancelled if you look at a dropped weapon.
- > Fixed exploit where you could teleport to the AA gun on carriers by firing an EOD bot at its door.
- > Fixed co-op ammo HUD not showing on first enter.
- > Fixed so you get prompted if you really want to switch team when pressing the Switch team button.
- > Fixed so that Assignments are being correctly sorted on the My Soldier\Assignments screen.
- > Fixed issue with commorose not working on soldiers in vehicles (PC).
- > Added blinking capture point icons in the 3D HUD, and added blinking neutral icons in objectives bar.
- > Composed a more informative error message for when a console player attempts to rent a server in a location where there are currently no servers available.
- > Fix for dog tag icons in the My Soldier/Assignments screen appearing slightly stretched.
- > Fixed some tracers appearing behind the soldier or vehicle that fired them.
- > Potential random audio crash fix.

Talk about a carrying a torch for your idol. Members of Sourav Ganguly's Facebook fan club and a newly formed social-networking related movement, are planning to hold a protest march and a candle-light vigil against the "unfair" treatment dished out to former Kolkata Knightriders' captain Sourav Ganguly in last weekend's IP player auctions.
There were no bidders for Ganguly at the auction, thus effectively keeping him out of the fourth edition of the India Premier League (IPL). But now, he is getting support from fans who have formed a 'No Dada No KKR' community on Facebook.
The members of the community, possessing around 2200 members, have planned the march from Victoria Memorial to Eden Gardens on Sunday evening, Jan 16.
"Ganguly is the most successful captain in the history of Indian cricket. We are appalled at the puerile and myopic attitude of the team management of KKR and hence we are organising this peaceful march to show solidarity with the Prince of Calcutta," a member of the community said. "We want to drive the message to KKR management that Kolkata Knight Riders is now dead to the cricket fans of the city," he said adding that it would be a silent march with no sloganeering.
Members of Orkut community 'No Ganguly... No Eden' having 500-plus members will also support the protest, the fan added.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knightriders owner Shah Rukh Khan has been at the receiving end of a backlash in Kolkata as protestors chanted slogans against him and burnt posters and effigies of him over the last week. SRK for his part, maintains that Ganguly's ouster is out of his hands as the decision not to bid from him came from the "cricketing brains" in the franchise and not from him. He says he will try to convince Ganguly to assume a behind-the-scenes role in the team.

Randy lay on his side watching the slow breathing of Cole as he slept soundly next to him. The moonlight slipping through the open blinds cast lines of light over Cole's smooth tanned skin. Randy looked at his silhouette, the way his nose curved down to its soft round tip and he looked at the way his beard came in so much fuller now, and he looked at the way his hair was long and wavy, much longer than when they had left two years ago. He reached up slowly, gently, using one finger, pushed Cole's hair off his face as he thought of all the places they had visited. Great Britain, Europe, Africa and back across the Atlantic on some freighter to South America, backpacking and biking a lot of it, but there were train rides, hitch hiking, and when the distance too great, they had splurged for a rental car. They stayed for days, weeks even, in some places, working on farms, waiting or busing tables in restaurants, bartending, or any other job they could find quickly to supplement their money.
It had been such an adventure, and with Cole it had been so much more. Randy had never thought he could love someone like he did Cole and when they had boarded the ship heading to Charleston Cole had seemed as happy as he was to be making their way back to this place he considered home. He had been worried, afraid of how his parents would respond to him and Cole being together but when they had arrived earlier today and his mother came out, wiping her hands on a dish towel, the shock of seeing them gave way to a joy that made her cry. She had hugged Cole as hard as she had hugged him and when his father came out of the barn he had jogged across the yard to greet them. It had been a long night, sitting at the dining table, talking about their last two weeks and how he hadn't been anywhere to email or post on a social media site. Their travels in Argentina, Chile and back through Brazil had been amazing but the two weeks in the Amazon were so remote, so far from civilization that they had been unable to stay in touch.
They were back now and he hadn't thought he would feel so good to be home, to this rural place, but as he settled down on the bed, snuggled up to Cole, he finally fell into a peaceful sleep.
Cole followed Randy and his parents through the restaurant to the table the waitress was leading them, and he tried not to notice, tried to be like Randy who could ignore unpleasantness, walk right by it without any notice, but not him. He saw the judgmental looks, the accusatory stares and he knew they were making their judgments against Randy and him, and by association Randy's parents. He wanted to scream at them, curse each and every one, but then again he felt sorry for them, for their ignorance, this need for a scapegoat to make themselves feel...what? Superior? Righteous? It didn't make sense.
They had gotten back yesterday and decided to eat dinner out even though it was Friday night and they knew it'd be crowded. They had said there would be some gossipy shit to deal with and they resolved to ignore it. Now that they were here the Jenkins seemed able to do it, even with their indifferent waitress and the service slow. The Jenkins didn't seem to care, for they kept the conversation going, Randy especially, telling of their plans for the future and Cole tried to stay focused on their conversation, to add his part in it, but over and over he would cut his eyes around the room and see the looks, the whispering and at times even someone pointing their way. 'Fuck'em' he thought and picked up his beer and drained the last of it, motioning for their waitress.
"Another beer, please" he asked the waitress and as she walked off he slid his chair back and got up. "Excuse me, but I need to hit the men's room."
The toilets were in the back of the restaurant down a short corridor and Cole went in and as he stood at the urinal relieving himself he heard the door open. No one went into the adjacent stall and he was a little worried about it, but when he turned to move to the lavatory he saw a guy standing just inside the door. He looked nervous, casting his eyes downward, unable to look at Cole at first, then slowly, gradually he looked up.
"You're Cole, right?"
"Yeah; who wants to know?" Cole response was defensive.
"I...I just..." and he looked down as he wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"Are you Jerry McCullough's boy?" Cole asked suddenly sensing who this young man was that stood before him.
"Yes sir...I'm Paul."
Cole saw how nervous the guy was, the way he was so fitful, and suddenly Cole sensed what was on Paul's mind.
"You sure you want to talk to me?"
Paul looked up at Cole, the look of naïve surprise on his face and he stepped toward Cole, suddenly a sense of excitement about him.
"Oh yes, more than anything. I heard about you and Randy Jenkins, how ya'll ran off together and all, and...and...and I wanted to talk to you about it."
"About our travels?" and Cole hesitated for just a moment before finishing. "Or our being gay?"
"That... the last thing."
"Ok Paul, if you need to talk to someone we're willing. Tomorrow is Saturday. Tell your folks you're going to hang out with your friends and then you come to the Jenkin's place. Say around eight o'clock?"
Paul looked at Cole for the first time and he smiled a worried fearful smile and nodded his head yes. Then he opened the door and left. Cole waited a minute, washing his hands and then went back to the table. This time his walk through the restaurant amongst the stares and judgmental glares was different. This time he knew another one of their sons was just like him, someone one of them was close to, someone they thought they knew, and he smiled back at those with the biggest frowns.
As he sat down he leaned toward Randy and whispered in his ear. "We have someone who needs to talk."
"What do you mean?" Randy asked.
"Someone who feels different, doesn't fit in around here, needs someone they can talk to."
Randy nodded that he suddenly understood and glanced around the room over to the McCullough's table remembering how he saw their oldest son go to the men's room behind Cole and come back just before him. He saw Paul slumped down in their booth indifferent to the conversation going on around him, and for one quick moment Randy saw Paul look his way and smile.
That night had been special, they way his parents had ignored those judgmental bastards at the restaurant and they had came back home and sat in the screen porch till it was late again, Cole and his father in the rockers and his mother and he in the swing, his foot on the wood porch pushing the it back and forth slowly, barely moving as they talked in quieter tones with long periods of silence. When his parents finally went off to bed Cole and he stayed out till he saw his parent's bedroom light turn off, then they made their way inside. Randy helped Cole undress, quietly, slowly, removing each garment till Cole stood naked, his cock beginning to harden, rise up in a slow undulating manner and Randy pressed his lips to Cole's gently, just for a moment and then he let Cole undress him. Cole was slow and graceful with his movements, removing Randy's shirt as he kissed and nipped at his nipples, ran his tongue over the skin and Randy put his hand on Cole's head, ran his fingers through the long hair. Randy felt Cole undoing his jeans, spread them open. Cole eased down on his knees as he pulled Randy's jeans open and down. Randy felt the cool air blowing over his naked skin, his exposed upper body and now his legs; then he felt the warm breath of Cole, as he hovered for just a moment over his cock. He knew his cock was responding, felt the confinement of his boxers, and finally he felt Cole's warm wet mouth press against it through the thin cotton fabric of his boxers. He held his breath, suppressing his urge to cry out and he pushed his hips forward pushing his cock into Cole's mouth harder.
When Cole's mouth pulled off of his cock, the fabric wet where it pushed out against the fabric, Randy felt Cole working his boxers down till they fell on top of his jeans. Cole helped him work everything off one foot at a time, gently holding one hand on Randy's lower back and using the other to pull the clothes free from each foot as Randy held it up. His cock bobbed up and down in front of him and Cole grasped it, held it straight out as me moved forward and tongued the head. Cole licked it till Randy had to suck in his breath, for the sensations were too much for him, then Randy felt his cock sink into Cole's mouth. The slick warmth enveloped his cock and he began to swing his hips slowly, full movements that pulled his cock nearly free then back till he felt Cole's hair tickle his stomach and nose touch him just above his cock. Over and over he pumped his hips slowly.
Randy's urge to cum rose up too fast and he stopped moving, held Cole's head still, his cock buried in his mouth. He slowed his breathing as he stood still and Cole pulled back, releasing his cock and he felt Cole hug up to his bare legs, the warmth of Cole's body felt so good to him. He even felt Cole's erection slide by his calf, its head leaving a trail of pre-cum on his skin. Randy reached down and got Cole to stand and together they eased down on the bed, Cole on his back and Randy down on top of him. Randy felt Cole spread his legs, pull them back turning his ass upward and Randy slowly pumped his hips rubbing his cock over Cole, feeling his warm body, so smooth against his cock, and he pressed down when he knew he was rubbing over Cole's opening, and Cole moaned softly underneath him. They held each other tightly as Randy worked his body on top of Cole. Cole shifted slightly, spread his legs at the knees a little more and Randy felt his cock nudge at Cole's hole, push against it and he bore down on it, let his weight push his hips down till his cock penetrated Cole, eased in slowly, inch by inch, the shaft moving through the tight ring of Cole's opening, stretching it open. Cole stifled his moan by pressing his mouth against Randy's neck, the warmth of his breath, the vibration of his moan made him cling tighter to Cole's body and drive the last couple of inches of his cock in.
Randy fucked slowly, the bed's squeak soft, barely audible, with Cole holding the old metal head of the bed in both hands, his arms straining with his tight hold as he took Randy's fuck, worked his own hips with Randy, pushing up to meet Randy's downward thrusts. Randy ran his lips and tongue along Cole's neck, around his ear, tonguing it, nipping the earlobe as he pumped his cock into Cole, worked it through the tight ring of his opening and deep into his warm velvety tunnel.
"Oh fuck, that feels good" Cole whispered in Randy's ear.
It had been a couple of days since they had sex and Randy felt his need to cum rise up quickly even with his slow pace, the way he ground his cock into Cole inch by inch, and he began to move faster, pumping his cock into Cole a little harder. He hugged tightly to Cole, the heat of their bodies bringing a sheen to their skin. He fucked faster, the old bed squeaking a little louder, but neither noticed, for they held each other tightly as Randy pumped his cock harder, pushed it all the way in Cole and all too soon pumped out his load. Randy bit down on Cole's shoulder suppressing his urge to cry out as he pumped each wad of cum out and then grinding his cock through it, smearing it along his shaft and Cole's insides.
Randy lay on Cole for a moment, their breathing hard and labored and he suddenly was worried whether or not they had gotten too noisy, wondered if the bathroom between the two bedrooms and the fan his parents ran would be enough to drown out the noise. He moved to the side of Cole and pulled him on top, got Cole to settle down between his own legs that he spread open, pulled back to angle his ass up as he waited for Cole to ease into him. He felt Cole's weight settle down on his body, felt Cole's hard cock press against him and he pushed up against it, suddenly forgetting his worry about noise. Randy held Cole in his arms as they kissed. He ran his hands over Cole's back and down till he could take each cheek in his hands and he pulled Cole to him, pulled Cole's hips down and he felt the pain of the initial penetration, the way Cole's cock breached his opening and slid down into him.
Randy knew Cole's rhythm, his slow graceful movements, the way he could fuck for a long time, slowly, building up his own need to cum again. Randy took Cole's slow fuck, the rhythm of his thrusts and as Cole fucked him he felt his own cock harden again, trapped between their sweaty bodies, the rub of Cole's undulations stroking him. How long Cole was on him, how long Cole was pumping cock into his hole, he didn't know, but he held Cole tightly as he felt the quickening pace, the urgency of the fuck increase and he knew Cole was finally getting close and Randy leaned back, pressed his cock up against Cole's body, letting the way he fucked rub him harder and then it happened, the way it had done so often before, and he automatically tightened his legs around Cole, held him tight as he came again, pumping out his load between them and he knew Cole could feel on his cock the spasm of his hole. Cole shoved down harder, short thrusting jabs deep into him and he knew Cole was pumping him full of his cum. Cole pressed his lips to Randy's to muffle his cry as he pumped wad after wad deep into him.
When they were both spent, the slick sheen of their bodies glistening in the dim moon light cutting across them as they lay together, loosely intertwined, they eased down into sleep and Randy eased his eyes open one more time and using one finger, moved the hair from out of Cole's face so he could see the peaceful look and then he closed his eyes as he drifted off to sleep.
Cole pulled into a parking space at the grocery store in town and Randy and he went inside with the list Mrs. Jenkins had given them that morning. He had been worried Randy's parents might have heard Randy and him last night but neither had said anything or acted as if they had heard. Inside the store he saw it wasn't too busy and therefore they would not run into too many people for he had had enough of their stares last night. Randy held up half the list, having torn it in two.
"Mom's lists are in the order she comes to the items in the store, so I can take this half for this side" and Randy pointed toward the produce section, "and you take this half and start over there" and he pointed down toward the deli and dairy section. "We can work our way toward the middle and get out of here."
Cole made his way down each aisle picking each item on the list, noticing how when he passed some of the women in the store most gave him a frown and pushed on by him quickly. None spoke, and he did he best to avoid looking at them, concentrating on the list in his hand. He headed down another aisle and just in front of him he saw a stock boy putting boxes on the shelf. Cole recognized the guy, someone who had been a year behind him in school, but his name didn't come to him. He was sure the guy would have nothing to say to him so he thought it didn't matter he had already forgotten his name. Cole grabbed what he needed near the guy and began to move around him.
Cole stopped and turned to the guy, shocked to hear his name.
"Hey...uh, well, I heard Randy and you were back. I guess you guys really had fun...traveling and all."
Cole could see some pleading look but he was frozen in place, unable to respond, waiting for the slur, the cutting comment. The guy looked down and back up, his face sad and resigned.
"I guess you don't remember me, or probably don't want to, and that is okay for I know we...I treated you like shit in school. Boy you showed us" the guy's voice trailing off.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember your name" Cole finally stated, matter of fact.
"Keith...Keith Woods."
"Oh yeah, Keith, I remember now. So how is it going?" Cole stated not sure what else to say.
Keith looked up and down the aisle and then up at Cole. "It sucks."
Cole knew what he meant but didn't respond, standing there watching how Keith kept looking up and down the aisle, all nervous, his hands fidgeting with the box cutter. Keith finally started to talk, his voice in a low whisper, while he kept his eyes down, looking at the floor.
"Cole, can we talk sometime? I mean, I..." and it was silent for a moment then Keith looked up at Cole. "I was wondering about how you and Randy...found each other, ya know?"
Cole saw how painful it was for Keith to admit it but he saw him suddenly relax, the confession out in the open.
"You'll have to ask Randy that one. Why don't you come by later tonight to his folk's place? Show up about a quarter after eight. Okay?"
"Okay Cole I'll do that; thanks man" and Keith looked down the aisle as someone was rounding the end and coming toward them and he quickly went back to stocking the shelves. Cole moved on, and after a few minutes he was in the middle of the store where Randy was waiting.
"You're not going to believe what just happened. Come on, let's check out and I'll tell you on the way home."
All afternoon he kept uttering 'damn' to himself still unbelieving of this support group meeting Cole had orchestrated and after they had an early dinner with his parents he told Cole he thought meeting in the house might be uncomfortable for the guys and suggested the screen porch. He thought it would be cool enough but Cole had looked at Randy's father and then back at him.
"You dad and I think the barn would be better. Even though no one drives by very often, it might make them more comfortable to be out of sight."
"My dad and you..." and Randy suddenly realized how close the two of them had become, Cole out helping him with small jobs in the barn and the two of them talking about farming. Randy had to smile at Cole and shake his head. "Okay, you're probably right. We can set up the old card table with the chairs around it. We just need to pull the grain truck out and it'll give us plenty of room to sit in a group.
By seven o'clock the barn was all set up and just before eight an old Mustang pulled around the house and parked in the shadows out away from the house and barn. Randy stood at the door of the barn, silhouetted by the light behind him, watching Paul initially head toward the house then turn and come toward him at the barn. When Paul was about thirty feet away the light from the barn began to hit him and Randy saw how nervous he looked.
"Come on in; we thought you might like the privacy of meeting out here instead of in the house."
"Yeah, that's good" Paul replied and Randy could hear some sense of relief in his voice.
Randy led Paul inside and had him take a seat. Cole came in carrying sodas and some cookies for them to snack on as they talked and when Randy and Cole sat down next to each other Paul looked at them and smiled for the first time. Randy and Cole let him talk, listening to the familiar feelings, the guilt and fear and it poured out of Paul quickly, he barely stopping to take a breath, and when he did stop he leaned forward resting his arms no his knees like he was exhausted, and he stared at the ground.
Randy knew the main problem, the one that made all the others so pronounced, was the loneliness, thinking you're the only one around who feels this way, has these attractions, desires. Randy remembered how it had been for him and it made it easier to sympathize, and he glanced at Cole giving him a nod before he turned back to Paul.
"We know what you're going through, we've been there, and the worst of it is feeling like you are the only one, that no one around here would understand, or feel the same way."
Paul looked up fast, interrupting Randy "Yeah, I mean...you guys found each other. Must have been a miracle or something..." and his voice trailed off.
"Not a miracle, not really."
Suddenly they heard a truck pull up outside and Paul looked back at the door nervously. Cole stood up and told them he'd be right back and Randy watched how Paul kept his eyes on the door as Cole went out and disappeared in the dark.
Randy sat glancing from the door back to Paul, waiting, and a minute or so later they could hear voices, one Cole's and shortly after that Cole came in the barn and stood to the side waiting. Keith came in and Randy watched him come in head down, watching each of his steps, not realizing he was being watched, and when he finally looked up he froze. Randy had to smile at the shock on his face at seeing Paul.
Randy looked back and forth between the two guys, looking at how they were so typical in appearance, the rough cut hair sticking out around their ball caps, Paul's straw blonde and Keith's a brown with a reddish tint, and he noticed how Keith was beginning to fill out, have a man's body and then there was Paul who had just finished school and how his body was tall and lean, still the body of a teenager but there was something else about them, something naïve, sexually so, and he watched Keith come to where they sat and take a seat. Keith had on cargo shorts and his hairy legs, with their light brown hair, gave them a strong masculine presence and Randy noticed how Paul was looking at Keith, looking at a body that was a man's body. Cole had closed the barn door and resumed his position next to Randy.
"Keith, I think you know Paul?" Randy asked, keeping his voice as casual as possible.
"Yeah...hey Paul."
"Keith" Paul replied and he leaned forward, resting his arms on his knees again, looking down at the ground. Keith looked at Paul and then at Randy and Cole, a worried expression on his face.
"Guys, we are not trying to hook you up but just wanted you to know you were not alone and maybe you could...support each other, you know?" Randy stated, trying to ease the tension. Then Paul began to snigger, softly to himself, then louder till he was laughing aloud and he sat back looking at Keith, then at Randy and Cole.
"Goddamn; Cole you brining any more of us out tonight?" and suddenly they all were laughing.
Keith took a seat and Paul pulled up closer to the table and for a long time they talked, at times serious and poignant but after a while their conversation became more relaxed and casual and they began to joke and laugh as they enjoyed each other's company. It was late by the time Keith and Paul stood up to go. Keith had asked Paul if he wanted to do something the next day after he got off work and Randy and Cole listened as they made plans. Cole walked them out as Randy put away the table and chairs and went to get the grain truck to put it back in its place.
Randy met Cole at the back steps leading up to the screen porch and the two eased into the house knowing Randy's parents had turned in already. They eased to Randy's room where Randy sat on the bed and Cole in his desk chair.
"I've feel grubby, so I'm going to take a shower" Cole said as he looked down at himself.
"I'll take it with you" Randy replied smiling at Cole, seeing the uneasiness of the suggestion on his face, "It'll be fine, their fast asleep and we'll be quiet."
The pulled off all their clothes except their boxers and eased back out in the short corridor and into the bathroom. Randy got the shower going and held the curtain back for Cole to step in; then he followed. Randy picked up the soap and began to wash Cole, slowly running his hands over Cole's body, over his shoulders, down his back and over each cheek. Randy squatted down and ran the soap over each leg. Cole turned and Randy reached up and ran his soapy hands over Cole's growing erection, ran his hand up and down the shaft and then he soaped up his balls as he leaned forward and took Cole's cock in his mouth, moving forward letting it slide through his lips, over his tongue and push to the back of his mouth. He felt Cole's hands on his shoulders knowing he was bracing himself and Randy pulled back, grabbed the shaft at the base and worked on the head, licking it, sucking it into his mouth till Cole pushed him off of it. Randy stood up and washed Cole's chest and stomach as Cole washed his own hair. Then they switched places and Cole bathed Randy and Randy closed his eyes focusing on the sensation of Cole's hands on his body, rubbing over his chest, down his stomach and taking his cock in hand, stroking it till it ached. Cole bathed him slowly, hands moving sensually over his skin and when Cole ran his soapy hand down between the cheeks of his ass Randy felt Cole's fingers push against him, rub over his opening and then slide into him, stretching him open. He stifled his cry and pushed back against Cole's fingers working into him. Cole stood up and got Randy to face him and he hugged their bodies together, brought their lips together under the spray of the shower.
Randy pulled back and looked at Cole, "We should get out and go back to the bedroom."
Cole nodded his head and reached down turning off the shower as Randy got out taking a towel in hand. They dried each other, softly rubbing the towel over each other. Randy opened the door and checked to make sure his parents were still in bed and they eased into the bedroom without bothering to put anything on.
On the bed they eased around slowly, touching and stroking, hands roaming over the other's body, and gently Cole rolled Randy on his stomach and moved over him. Randy spread his legs, arched his ass upward wanting Cole, wanting to feel Cole penetrate him, push his cock in and fuck him and Cole slowly, teasingly, ran his cock up and down between the cheeks of Randy's ass, letting the feel of Randy against his sensitive head fire up his need, his want, and he rubbed the head of his cock over Randy's hole, pressed against it and he heard Randy moan. Cole pressed down, sank his cock into Randy, inch by inch, he eased into him till he was all the way in and he rested his body on top of Randy, kissing his neck, around his ear, nipping the lobe as he took Randy's wrists and held him down. Cole pulled upward with his hips and pushed back down and he heard Randy breath out hard, a soft moan escaping from his open mouth. Cole kept working his hips, driving his cock through the tight ring of Randy's hole. His pace was slow and determined, with full movements, working as much of his cock as he could into Randy. Cole felt the way Randy's hole milked his cock, felt the heat of Randy's body, the soft cries of pleasure and he rose up, still holding Randy's wrist down and he began to fuck, full powerful thrusts, pushing his cock harder and harder into the stretched out hole, easily sliding his shaft through the ring of Randy's opening as he punched the head deep into Randy.
The bed squeaked softly as Cole felt his need build quickly, his desire for Randy still strong, and he pumped his cock in short jabbing thrusts, felt his body tense up tight, felt his own heat and he shoved downward over and over till he felt his cock swell up large and he thrust down hard, all the way, slapping his hips into Randy's ass, the bed squeaking loudly as he pumped his cum deep into the soft warm tunnel of Randy's ass.
Cole lay on Randy for a moment, his hard fast breathing settling back to normal as his cock deflated and eased out of Randy's hole. Cole rolled to the side and eased down on the floor by the bed on his knees, guiding Randy to roll over on his back. Cole took Randy's hard cock, held it up noticing the wet slick head glistening in the moonlight and he leaned over and sucked it clean, savoring the sweetness. Randy pushed up, stifling his urge to cry out, and Cole let the cock slide through his lips and deep into his mouth. Cole worked Randy cock, up and down the hard shaft, sucking on the head, tonguing it, and he eventually let Randy hold his head in place as he fucked his hips up and down, pumping his cock into Randy's mouth, fast, his need to cum urgent. Randy lay back, his body taut, muscles straining under the hot flesh as he held Cole's head, fucked his mouth and he shoved up hard and came. Cole sucked down the cum, took each wad as it hit him in the back of the mouth, and when Randy finally settled down, his cock spent, Cole held it up and milked the last of the cum from it.
Cole eased onto the bed and soon their intertwined bodies lay in the tangled sheet, lost to their dreams as they fell into a deep sleep.

eHarmony Approaches Redemption Deadline, Says Report
Los Angeles-based matchmaking site eHarmony is approaching a redemption deadline from its last venture funding round, according to a report today from Reuters. According to the report, eHarmony has a November 5th deadline, after which its venture backers--including Technology Crossover Ventures and Sequoia Capital--will be able to exercise a clause which would force eHarmony to buy back their preferred shares, matching the original investment by those firms in the company or an agreed-upon price. It's unlikely that the venture firms would do so, however, given the current valuation of eHarmony, which has been rumored in recent months to be seeking an IPO. However, it is apparently a rare event in the venture capital business to run into a redemption rights deadline, according to the report.

When Sherlock debuted on the BBC, it was clearly head-and-shoulders above any other television show in existence. The first three seasons offer some of the most stirring and intelligent hours anybody can have in front of a screen.
Unfortunately, we've been waiting and waiting and WAITING for Season 4 and for a while there, it didn't look like it'd ever happen. Benedict Cumberbatch has gone on to make big bucks in Hollywood (though all those roles are well beneath his talent) and Martin Freeman found fame in Lord of the Rings, so they were understandably employed elsewhere.
But now they're back and Season 4 is set to premiere on January 1, 2017! Teaser trailer here:
This trailer is a little too action-y, but I'm assuming that's for the simple sake of titillation and promotion and I would HOPE the series doesn't actually go too far in that direction. Its intelligence is what has always set it apart...

Migration of epithelial cells occurs in a variety of important biological processes including tissue morphogenesis, wound healing, and the metastasis of epithelial tumors. In some instances, the cells remain attached to each other and migrate together as a sheet, maintaining epithelial integrity. In others (e.g., metastasis), junctional complexes are disrupted and cells migrate individually. In both cases, motility involves the extension of membranous protrusions (filopodia and lamellipodia) in the direction of movement and the transient assembly and disassembly of integrin-mediated adhesions with the extracellular matrix. The driving force for these events is provided by regulated changes in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, which are thought to be coordinated with alterations in intracellular membrane traffic. In this themes article, I review current hypotheses about how these processes are integrated and attempt to identify fruitful areas for future research.
- Rho
- cadherin
- ADP-ribosylation factor 6
- exocyst
much of the actin remodeling that occurs during cell migration is driven by the coordinated action of small Ras-like GTPases of the Rho family. Like all GTPases, members of the Rho family function as molecular switches, being "on" in the GTP-bound state and "off" when GDP is bound. In the GTP-bound form, these proteins bind to and activate a variety of downstream effector proteins including kinases, actin-binding proteins, and lipid-modifying enzymes (for review see Ref. 32). The prototype Rho family members, RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42, are best known for their distinct effects on the actin cytoskeleton. In early experiments performed in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, mutational activation of Cdc42 induced formation of filopodia, Rac1 activation resulted in membrane ruffling and the formation of lamellipodia, and RhoA activation stimulated the formation of stress fibers as well as the stabilization of focal adhesions. Conversely, inhibition of Rac function by expression of dominant-negative mutants has been found to prevent formation of lamellipodia and to inhibit migration. Interestingly, Cdc42 function does not appear to be required for cell motility per se but is essential for vectorial migration in chemotaxis or wound healing. Finally, whereas Rho function is necessary for cell adhesion during motility, focal adhesions and stress fibers are not. In fact, expression of activated Rho mutants inhibits migration, apparently by preventing the disassembly of focal adhesions that occurs as cells move forward.
As for other Ras-like GTPases, interconversion between GTP- and GDP-bound states is facilitated by two classes of accessory proteins:1) guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) that catalyze the exchange of GTP for GDP (leading to activation) and 2) GTPase- activating proteins (GAP) that stimulate the hydrolysis of bound GTP (leading to inactivation). More than 30 GEFs have been identified with specificity for one or more Rho family members (for review see Ref. 33). Although divergent in overall sequence, these proteins share a common motif consisting of a catalytic domain (referred to as the Dbl homology or DH domain) invariantly followed by a phosphoinositide-binding pleckstrin homology domain. Similarly, at least 16 Rho-GAPs have been identified that exhibit a similar degree of divergence outside a conserved catalytic domain (33). It is widely believed that the regulated recruitment of these GEFs and GAPs and the balance between their activities determines the level of local activation of individual Rho family members in response to extracellular cues.
Whereas the roles of RhoA, Rac, and Cdc42 in cell motility appear to be similar in most cell types examined, their function in epithelial cells is more complex. In this context, they appear to be necessary for both cell-cell adhesion and for motility. For example, the function of both Rac and Rho is required for establishment of new E-cadherin-mediated junctions, as well as for the maintenance of preexisting ones (for example see Ref. 14). In Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, hyperactivation of Rac1 (by expression of activated mutants or of Rac GEFs) leads to an accumulation of both E-cadherin and cortical actin at lateral membrane borders and prevents cell migration induced by either hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or oncogenic Ras (14). Cdc42 may also play a role in the assembly of adherens junctions, although its precise function in this context is currently unclear.
In contrast, inhibition of Rac1 function has been shown to block MDCK cell migration in a wound-healing assay (8) and in response to HGF (27), suggesting that Rac also plays a positive role in regulating epithelial migration as it does in fibroblasts and other nonepithelial cells. Rac1, RhoA, and Cdc42 are also required for morphogenetic movements of epithelia duringDrosophila embryogenesis. The best example of this is dorsal closure, where ventrally located epidermal cells migrate dorsally along both sides of the embryo until they meet along the dorsal midline (12). Expression of dominant-negative Rac1, RhoA, or Cdc42 constructs in epidermal cells significantly inhibited both the rate and extent of dorsal closure with slightly different phenotypes depending on which GTPase was mutant (12).
How can Rac and Cdc42 support both cell-cell adhesion and cell migration? One hypothesis is that the choice between adhesion and migration may depend on the intracellular site at which these proteins become activated. In this model, preferential recruitment of nucleotide exchange factors to sites of cell-matrix adhesion (or growth factor binding) would lead to enhanced motility, whereas recruitment to adherens junctions would reinforce cell-cell interactions. Given the number and diversity of GEFs and GAPs, it seems likely that distinct sets of regulatory proteins could be recruited to the leading edge or junctional complexes in response to separate signals and that the balance of their activities would determine whether cell-cell adhesion or motility predominates. Similarly, individual GTPases may encounter distinct sets of effector proteins depending on their site of activation, and the stimulation of each may determine cell behavior. A significant goal for the future will be to localize as many of the GEFs and GAPs as possible in epithelial cells under polarized conditions and in the motile state and to determine their individual roles in cell adhesion and/or motility. In addition, recent advances in imaging technology allow the simultaneous visualization and quantitation of Rac activation in living cells (4), and it should now be possible to apply such techniques to epithelial cell systems under a variety of experimental conditions.
Vectorial cell migration involves the extension of filopodia and/or lamellipodia in the direction of movement. It has been suggested that the elaboration of these protrusive structures requires the recruitment of membrane constituents from other parts of the cell and their insertion into the leading edge. This could be accomplished by several mechanisms. First, on induction of migration there is a dramatic reorientation of the secretory apparatus, such that the Golgi is positioned between the leading edge of the cell and the nucleus, along the axis of migration. Secretion along this axis is highly polarized, as demonstrated by the observation that the newly synthesized vesicular stomatitis virus is delivered selectively to the leading edge of migrating cells (2), whereas the influenza virus hemagglutinin is transported to the trailing edge (19). This selectivity is highly reminiscent of biosynthetic transport in polarized epithelial cells, where vesicular stomatitis virus buds exclusively from the basolateral pole of the cell and influenza virus buds apically (see below). Second, endocytosed membrane constituents can be recycled preferentially to the leading edge, as has been shown for internalized transferrin (13). Recent evidence indicates that the endocytic recycling compartment, like the Golgi, becomes localized immediately behind the leading edge in migrating neutrophils (24). It has been widely assumed that integrins would be recycled from the trailing edge to the leading edge via this pathway. Recent evidence suggests that this may be true for some but not all integrins (24, 28). In addition, the quantitative contribution of these pathways to the total lamellar membrane or to the total surface integrin pool remains to be determined.
As mentioned above, the secretory polarity observed in migrating cells is similar to that observed in polarized epithelial cells. Remarkably, polarized secretion also occurs in the budding yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae and parallels can be drawn with epithelial cells. In yeast, secretion is polarized toward the emerging bud. The docking and fusion of secretory vesicles at the bud site is mediated by a complex of eight proteins referred to as the exocyst (for review see Ref. 21). Six of the eight yeast subunits have mammalian orthologs, and the mammalian complex appears to contain at least one additional subunit. Analysis of the mammalian complex in MDCK cells has shown that it functions in basolateral, but not apical, secretion. Moreover, in fully polarized cells, the exocyst components sec6 and sec8 localize primarily to the apex of the lateral membrane, suggesting that basolateral secretion is even more spatially restricted than had been originally appreciated (for review see Ref.15).
In yeast, the location of the bud site is determined by the action of the Rho family protein Rho1p, and polarized secretion requires both Rho1p and Cdc42p (21). Both Rho1p and Cdc42p interact with the NH2 terminus of one of the exocyst subunits, sec3p, and truncation of the protein leads to a more random distribution, suggesting an important role for sec3p in localization of the secretion machinery. Moreover, several cdc42 mutant alleles lead to a loss of exocytic polarity. Importantly, Cdc42 also appears to regulate polarized secretion in epithelial cells. Several laboratories have reported that expression of dominant-negative Cdc42 mutants selectively inhibits basolateral transport of membrane proteins, without affecting apical secretion. As mentioned above, Cdc42 does not appear to be necessary for epithelial cell migration but does affect the directionality and persistence of migration in a wound-healing assay using MDCK cells (8). In such assays, cells typically move vectorially from one edge of the wound toward the opposing edge. In a similar assay using fibroblasts, expression of dominant-negative Cdc42 was found to slow wound healing by randomizing the direction of migration, suggesting that Cdc42 is important in determining polarity even in fibroblasts. It is tempting to speculate that Cdc42 becomes activated at the leading edge in response to chemotactic or other spatial cues and that this leads to polarized secretion by direct interaction with components of the exocyst. Although mammalian sec3 appears to lack the Rho/Cdc42 binding domain of its yeast counterpart, it remains possible that Cdc42 interacts with one or more of the other subunits or that it binds them indirectly through another effector molecule (21). These hypotheses remain to be tested. Additional support for this hypothesis can be found in the observation that rab8, which mediates the docking and fusion of basolateral secretory vesicles in MDCK cells, is the closest mammalian homolog to sec4p, the yeast rab that regulates exocyst function. Ectopic expression of rab8 has been shown to induce the formation of actin-rich membrane protrusions in fibroblasts (23).
Like the Rho GTPases, the ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are also members of the Ras superfamily. However, unlike the Rho family, ARFs appear to function primarily in the regulation of vesicular transport (20). Of the mammalian ARFs, ARF1 is currently the best understood and has been shown to nucleate the assembly of coat protein complexes at sites of vesicle formation in the Golgi and endosomes. In contrast, ARF6 has been localized to the plasma membrane and a subpopulation of endosomes, where it has been implicated in a variety of processes including endocytosis, recycling, and phagocytosis. At least some of the functions of ARF6 may be cell-type specific. For example, in CHO cells, expression of a dominant-negative ARF6 mutant has been shown to inhibit recycling of internalized transferrin receptors (7). However, in HeLa cells, the same ARF6 mutant impairs recycling of major histocompatability complex class I and an IL-2 receptor construct but does not appear to affect recycling of transferrin receptors (25). This discrepancy may be due to the presence in HeLa cells of an endosomal compartment that does not exist in the CHO line (25). In adipocytes, ARF6 appears to regulate the endothelin-stimulated translocation of Glut4 glucose transporters from an endosomal compartment to the plasma membrane, although it has no effect on insulin-stimulated translocation of the same transporter (17). Taken together, these data suggest that ARF6 regulates some but not all aspects of endosomal membrane recycling. However, the mechanisms by which this is accomplished remain poorly understood.
Recently, it has come to be appreciated that ARF6 can also regulate actin cytoskeleton assembly. Activation of ARF6 was found to induce the formation of actin-rich membrane protrusions in both HeLa cells (26) and CHO cells (6). Conversely, dominant-negative ARF6 has been shown to inhibit membrane ruffling induced by EGF, CSF-1, or bombesin, suggesting a functional relationship between ARF6 and Rac. Several groups have demonstrated that at least a fraction of Rac1 is localized to endosomal membranes and that this endosomal pool can be translocated to the plasma membrane on ARF6 activation. Combined with the inhibition of membrane ruffling by dominant-negative ARF6, these findings led to a model in which the ARF6 regulates the activation of Rac1 by controlling its access to the plasma membrane. However, this model fails to take into account the large pool of cytosolic Rac1 that could be recruited to the plasma membrane without invoking a vesicular transport mechanism. Furthermore, dominant-negative ARF6 can inhibit membrane ruffling induced by an activated Rac1 mutant targeted to the plasma membrane by fusion to a heterologous transmembrane protein. This latter finding indicates that ARF can regulate Rac function after its translocation to the plasma membrane. The mechanistic links between ARF6 and Rac are therefore unclear but are under active investigation (see below) and are likely to be a fruitful area for future research.
ARF6 also exhibits functional interactions with Rho. Expression of an activated ARF6 mutant (3), of the ARF6 nucleotide exchange factors ARNO (10), or EFA6 (9) induces a loss of actin stress fibers whose assembly is known to be regulated by RhoA. Again, the mechanistic basis of this interaction is not known; however, the recent discovery of a family of ARF-GAPs that also possess Rho-GAP domains suggests that recruitment of these proteins to sites of ARF activation could lead to local downregulation of Rho activity (for review see Ref. 30). The further characterization of these proteins and their regulation (each has 5 pleckstrin homology domains) should prove to be interesting and informative.
Epithelial cells can acquire a more motile, fibroblastic phenotype in a process referred to as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Examples of EMT can be found both in normal development (e.g., gastrulation, neural crest cell migration) and pathologically, as in the onset of tumor metastasis. This process can be recapitulated in vitro by treatment of epithelial cell monolayers with growth factors such as EGF, HGF, or FGF or by the expression of oncogenes such as v-Src. An early event in EMT both in vivo and in vitro is the loss of adherens junctions, which correlates with internalization of E-cadherin complexes from the plasma membrane. E-cadherin is the primary adhesion molecule of epithelia. Dysregulation of cadherin expression or function is a common feature of epithelial cancers, and in fact E-cadherin has been identified as a tumor suppressor (for review see Ref.5).
In confluent monolayers of MDCK cells, E-cadherin has been shown to undergo constitutive endocytosis at a low but detectable rate (18); however, internalization is dramatically increased on treatment of cells with HGF, phorbol esters, or reduction in the level of extracellular calcium. Although the E-cadherin cytoplasmic domain becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine after exposure to growth factors, the mechanisms by which it is internalized have been poorly understood. Recently, Birchmeier and colleagues (11) have shown that, like many growth factor receptors, E-cadherin becomes ubiquitinated after its tyrosine phosphorylation and that this modification significantly enhances its rate of endocytosis. These authors have identified a novel ubiquitin ligase, Hakai, which appears to interact directly and specifically with phosphorylated E-cadherin. Overexpression of Hakai was found to stimulate ubiquitination of E-cadherin and to significantly enhance the sensitivity of the cells to HGF. Conversely, a mutant E-cadherin that could not bind Hakai was not internalized after HGF treatment and prevented the scattering of HGF-treated cells. Together these findings indicate that ubiquitin-mediated internalization of E-cadherin is a key event in the onset of epithelial cell motility. Whether ubiquitination promotes the association of E-cadherin with the clathrin endocytic machinery remains to be determined, although this appears likely. Considering that the half-life of E-cadherin is reduced by nearly 50% in cells expressing exogenous Hakai, it also seems likely that ubiquitination targets the protein for degradation in lysosomes. It will be important to determine whether ubiquitination occurs under other experimental regimens that stimulate E-cadherin endocytosis, such as phorbol ester treatment or Ca2+ depletion. Takai and coworkers (16) have shown that E-cadherin is cointernalized with the HGF receptor c-met. Notably, internalization of both proteins was inhibited by expression of constitutively active RhoA or Rac1 or by a dominant-negative mutant of the Rab GTPase Rab5. A similar Rab5 mutant has been shown to inhibit endocytosis of both EGF and transferrin receptors in nonpolarized cells, and it is possible that this is due to inhibition of coated pit assembly (1). Similarly, D'Souza-Schorey and coworkers (22) recently found that internalization of E-cadherin is also regulated by ARF6. Expression of constitutively active ARF6 stimulated adherens junction disassembly and the intracellular accumulation of E-cadherin, whereas a dominant-negative ARF6 mutant inhibited internalization induced by HGF. Inhibition of ARF6 function also inhibited scattering induced by activation of a temperature-sensitive v-Src construct, indicating that ARF6 functions downstream of Src in the regulation of cell motility. It will be interesting to determine whether any or all of these GTPases modulate the ubiquitination of E-cadherin (and c-met) or if internalization is impaired despite ubiquitination at normal levels.
Interestingly, activation of ARF6 appears to be sufficient to induce motility of epithelial cells. We have found that expression of the ARF nucleotide exchange factor ARNO in MDCK cells leads to a dramatic morphological change in which the cells separate from each other and develop broad, fan-shaped lamellipodia. This morphological transition correlates with a significantly enhanced rate of migration, even in the absence of motogens such as HGF (29). The onset of this migratory phenotype requires two downstream events initiated by ARF6: the activation of Rac1 and the stimulation of a known ARF effector protein, phospholipase D (PLD). Enhanced Rac1 activation is consistent with the observed formation of lamellipodia, and we found that expression of a dominant-negative Rac1 mutant inhibited both lamellipodium formation and migration. More surprisingly, we found that inhibition of PLD activity also blocked the formation of lamellipodia. The product of PLD is phosphatidic acid, a charged lipid with a number of biological properties. Among these is its function as a cofactor in the synthesis of l-α-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by phosphoinositide 4P 5-kinase-α, an enzyme that is also allosterically activated by ARF. Importantly, we found that activation of Rac1 was not dependent on PLD activity, nor was PLD activity dependent on Rac1, suggesting that each represents a distinct signaling pathway downstream of ARF6 whose combined activities are required for motility. Considering that PIP2 modulates the activities of a number of actin-binding proteins, we have proposed a model in which the products of PLD are necessary for the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton orchestrated by Rac1.
The mechanism by which ARF6 activates Rac1 remains unclear; however, emerging evidence suggests that ARF6 and Rac can interact indirectly through several recently characterized ARF GAPs. These proteins, which include GIT1, GIT2/Pkl, and p95APP, each contain an NH2-terminal ARF-GAP domain, a central domain that binds the Rac nucleotide exchange factor β-PIX, and a COOH-terminal domain that interacts with the focal adhesion component paxillin (for review see Ref. 31). It is therefore tempting to speculate that activation of ARF6 leads to Rac1 activation through either recruitment or enhanced local activation of β-PIX at sites of ARF activation. This hypothesis is currently being tested.
Taken together, these data suggest that ARF6 regulates at least two distinct aspects of epithelial cell motility: adherens junction disassembly and the formation of lamellipodia. However, as always, each observation generates multiple new questions: How does ARF6 activation lead to junction disassembly? Does it affect the interaction of E-cadherin with the cytoskeleton, or induce endocytosis directly? Does it integrate with Rho family proteins in this context, or does it operate independently? Is PLD activity necessary for cadherin internalization? Does ARF6 activity modulate ubiquitination of E-cadherin by Hakai and, if so, how? Is tight junction disassembly regulated coordinately? Does ARF6 regulate the flow of membrane into lamellipodia? If so, how is this flow targeted to the leading edge? Is more than one Rac GEF activated by ARF6 and, if so, which ones?
In summary, although there has been an explosion of information in the fields of membrane traffic and cell motility, surprisingly little is known about how these two aspects of cell function are integrated. It is clear that the actin cytoskeleton plays a central role and that cross talk among a large number of regulatory signaling pathways is necessary to coordinate intracellular transport with cell movement. Hopefully, work in the near future will target this interface more directly.

Do you like displaying your quilts, or perhaps you are pulling one out for your upcoming guests? You can freshen your quilt without tossing it into the washing machine and worrying about if it will fall apart. Please find directions for freshening your quilt below.
The first thing you will want to do is look the quilt over and make sure that all the threading is still in tact and that no appliqués are lifting off. If you find that anything needs to be sewn up now is the time to do that.
Once you are done making any repairs you are now ready to remove any dust that may have collected on it. If you have a clothes rack outside, lay the quilt over the rack and lightly tap it with a broom. You might be surprised at how much dust you see flying off of your quilt. Remember to do all sides.
Another option for removing dust is to use a vacuum cleaner. I recommend doing this only if there are not a lot of embellishments on the quilt. If there are and you still wish to use a vacuum then lay down a fine mesh screen on the quilt.
Once you are done removing the dust and dirt, lay a sheet down on the grass, and lay the quilt down with another sheet over the quilt. Laying the quilt directly onto the grass can lead to the stains on your quilt, so be sure to avoid laying it directly on the grass at all times. I recommend letting it lay on one side for about an hour, and then flip it over to the other side for about an hour.
If you decide you want to try and wash your quilt please be aware you may notice your antique quilts can possibly have their colors run or disappear all together. What you will want to do is test your quilt with a damp rag. You will rub all the different prints on your quilt. Keep in mind that even though you are testing it with a damp rag, you have not saturated the quilt and it can still bleed in the washing machine even though it passed the spot testing.
Use a very mild detergent and the delicate cycle, some newer machines have an extra delicate cycle and if yours has this cycle use that. Once it has been washed, you will want to lay it out on a clean sheet with a sheet over it. Once it is laid down and covered up, get a fan blowing over it to help move the air around to dry it quicker. I recommend rotating the quit every 30 minutes. Once you are back to the spot your started with, flip the quilt over and rotate it on that side every 30 minutes. Repeat this process until your quilt is dry.
Now you can display your fresh quilt up on the wall, at the foot of the bed, tossed over a chair, or laying out on your guest bed. Don't be scared to clean your quilts; just be aware of how to take care of them.
