text: content LE Magazine October 2003 Arthritis Licofelone (ML-3000), a dual inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, reduces the level of cartilage chondrocyte death in vivo in experimental dog osteoarthritis: inhibition of pro-apoptotic factors.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate in vivo therapeutic efficacy of licofelone, a novel competitive dual inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX) in chondrocyte death in the canine ligament transection model of osteoarthritis (OA), and to explore its effect on factors involved in the apoptotic phenomenon, i.e., caspase-3, COX-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). METHODS: Cartilage specimens were obtained from three experimental groups of dogs: Group 1, dogs subjected to sectioning of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee and given placebo treatment; Groups 2 and 3, operated dogs that received oral treatment with licofelone (2.5 or 5.0 mg/kg/day, respectively) for eight weeks starting immediately after surgery. All dogs were killed eight weeks postsurgery. The cartilage level of chondrocyte death was detected by TUNEL reaction. Cartilage distribution of caspase-3, COX-2 and iNOS was documented by immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies, and other levels were quantified by morphometric analysis. RESULTS: In cartilage specimens from placebo treated dogs a large number of chondrocytes in the superficial layers stained positive for TUNEL reaction. Treatment with therapeutic concentrations of licofelone (2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg/day) markedly reduced the level of chondrocyte apoptosis to the same extent in both therapeutic groups (p < 0.0001, p < 0.002, respectively). In these groups, the levels of caspase-3, COX-2 and iNOS in cartilage from both condyles and plateaus were also significantly decreased (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0002, respectively) compared to the control (placebo) group. CONCLUSION: Licofelone is an effective treatment in vivo, capable of reducing the level of OA chondrocyte death. This effect is likely mediated by a decrease in the level of caspase-3 activity, which may be related to the reduced production of two major factors involved in chondrocyte apoptosis, NO and prostaglandin E2. These findings may explain some of the mechanisms by which licofelone reduces the progression of experimental OA. J Rheumatol. 2002 Jul;29(7):1446-53. Differential regulation of prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2 production in human monocytes: implications for the use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors.There is an autocrine relationship between eicosanoid and cytokine synthesis, with the ratio of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)/thromboxane A2 (TXA2) being one of the determinants of the level of cytokine synthesis. In monocytes, cyclooxygenase type 1 (COX-1) activity appears to favor TXA2 production and COX-2 activity appears to favor PGE2 production. This has led to speculation regarding possible linkage of COX isozymes with PGE and TXA synthase. We have studied the kinetics of PGE2 and TXA2 synthesis under conditions that rely on COX-1 or -2 activity. With small amounts of endogenously generated prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), TXA2 synthesis was greater than PGE2. With greater amounts of endogenously generated PGH2, PGE2 synthesis was greater than TXA2. Also, TXA synthase was saturated at lower substrate concentrations than PGE synthase. This pattern was observed irrespective of whether PGH2 was produced by COX-1 or COX-2 or whether it was added directly. Furthermore, the inhibition of eicosanoid production by the action of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or by the prevention of COX-2 induction with the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor SKF86002 was greater for PGE2 than for TXA2. It is proposed that different kinetics of PGE synthase and TXA synthase account for the patterns of production of these eicosanoids in monocytes under a variety of experimental conditions. These properties provide an alternative explanation to notional linkage or compartmentalization of COX-1 or -2 with the respective terminal synthases and that therapeutically induced changes in eicosanoid ratios toward predominance of TXA2 may have unwanted effects in long-term anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic therapy. J Immunol. 2000 Aug 1;165(3):1605-11 Thromboxane A2 induces leukotriene B4 synthesis that in turn mediates neutrophil diapedesis via CD 18 activation.Previous studies have indicated that thromboxane (Tx) and leukotriene (LT) B4 act synergistically to induce neutrophil (PMN) adhesion in the microvasculature. This study explores the ability of Tx to induce LTB4 synthesis, which then leads to activation of PMN and endothelial adhesion receptors. Tx-mimic (U46619, 1 microgram/ml) was administered into abraded skin chambers placed on the backs of rabbits (n = 6). After three hours LTB4 was synthesized in the blister fluid at 385 pg/ml, a value higher than levels in saline-treated blisters, 10 pg/ml (P less than 0.05). The LTB4 generation following Tx-mimic was correlated (P less than 0.05, r = 0.70) with neutrophil diapedesis. These averaged 645 PMN/mm3, values higher than saline values of 20 PMN/mm3 (P less than 0.05). Intravenous (iv) treatment of other rabbits (n = 4) with the lipoxygenase inhibitor diethylcarbamazine at 60 mg/kg, followed by 40 mg/kg/hr, prevented Tx-mimic-induced LTB4 synthesis (10 pg/ml) and diapedesis (19 PMN/mm3) (both P less than 0.05). Intravenous treatment of yet other rabbits (n = 4) with the anti-CD 18 monoclonal antibody R 15.7 at 1 mg/kg abolished Tx-induced diapedesis (3 PMN/mm3) (P less than 0.05). In contrast, local administration of 3 ng of the protein synthesis inhibitor actinomycin D, to prevent expression of endothelial adhesion proteins, limited TNF- but not Tx-induced diapedesis. The data indicate that Tx-induced diapedesis is mediated by the generation of LTB4 and the activation of neutrophil CD 18 but not endothelial adhesion proteins. Microvasc Res. 1991 May;41(3):367-75 Anti-cytokine therapy in chronic destructive arthritis.Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) are considered to be master cytokines in chronic, destructive arthritis. Therapeutic approaches in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have so far focused mainly on TNF, which is a major inflammatory mediator in RA and a potent inducer of IL-1; anti-TNF therapy shows great efficacy in RA patients. However, it is not effective in all patients, nor does it fully control the arthritic process in affected joints of good responders. Directed therapy for IL-1, with IL-1 receptor antagonist, mainly reduces erosions and is marginally anti-inflammatory. It is as yet unclear whether the limited effect is akin to the RA process or linked to suboptimal blocking of IL-1. Analysis of cytokine patterns in early synovial biopsies of RA patients reveals a marked heterogeneity, with variable staining of TNF and IL-1 beta, indicative of TNF-independent IL-1 production in at least some patients. Evidence for this pathway emerged from experimental arthritises in rodents, and is summarized in this review. If elements of the models apply to the arthritic process in RA patients, it is necessary to block IL-1 beta in addition to TNF. Arthritis Res. 2001;3(1):18-26. Epub 2000 Nov 10 Ex-vivo in-vitro inhibition of lipopolysaccharide stimulated tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta secretion in human whole blood by extractum urticae dioicae foliorum.An extract of Urtica dioica folium (IDS 23, Rheuma-Hek), monographed positively for adjuvant therapy of rheumatic diseases and with known effects in partial inhibition of prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis in vitro, was investigated with respect to effects of the extract on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in human whole blood of healthy volunteers. In the assay system used, LPS stimulated human whole blood showed a straight increase of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) secretion reaching maximum concentrations within 24 hours following a plateau and slight decrease up to 65 hours, respectively. The concentrations of these cytokines was strongly positively correlated with the number of monocytes/macrophages of each volunteer. TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta concentration after LPS stimulation was significantly reduced by simultaneously given IDS 23 in a strictly dose dependent manner. At time 24 hours these cytokine concentrations were reduced by 50.8% and 99.7%, respectively, using the highest test IDS 23 assay concentration of 5 mg/ml (p < 0.001). After 65 hours the corresponding inhibition was 38.9% and 99.9%, respectively (p < 0.001). On the other hand IDS 23 showed no inhibition but stimulated IL-6 secretion in absence of LPS alone. Simultaneously given LPS and IDS 23 resulted in no further increase. In contrast to described effects on arachidonic acid cascade in vitro, tested Urtica dioica phenol carbon acid derivates and flavonoids such as caffeic malic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin and rutin did not influence LPS stimulated TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-6 secretion in tested concentrations up to 5 x 10(-5) mol/l. These further findings on the pharmacological mechanism of action of Urticae dioica folia may explain the positive effects of this extract in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. Arzneimittelforschung. 1996 Apr;46(4):389-94 Plant extracts from stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), an antirheumatic remedy, inhibit the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kappaB.Activation of transcription factor NF-kappaB is elevated in several chronic inflammatory diseases and is responsible for the enhanced expression of many proinflammatory gene products. Extracts from leaves of stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) are used as antiinflammatory remedies in rheumatoid arthritis. Standardized preparations of these extracts (IDS23) suppress cytokine production, but their mode of action remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that treatment of different cells with IDS23 potently inhibits NF-kappaB activation. An inhibitory effect was observed in response to several stimuli, suggesting that IDS23 suppressed a common NF-kappaB pathway. Inhibition of NF-kappaB activation by IDS23 was not mediated by a direct modification of DNA binding, but rather by preventing degradation of its inhibitory subunit IkappaB-alpha. Our results suggests that part of the antiinflammatory effect of Urtica extract may be ascribed to its inhibitory effect on NF-kappaB activation. FEBS Lett. 1999 Jan 8;442(1):89-94 Effects of the antirheumatic remedy Hox alpha-a new stinging nettle leaf extract-on matrix metalloproteinases in human chondrocytes in vitro.Inflammatory joint diseases are characterized by enhanced extracellular matrix degradation which is predominantly mediated by cytokine-stimulated upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression. Besides tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) produced by articular chondrocytes and synovial macrophages, is the most important cytokine stimulating MMP expression under inflammatory conditions. Blockade of these two cytokines and their downstream effectors are suitable molecular targets of antirheumatic therapy. Hox alpha is a novel stinging nettle (Urtica dioica/Urtica urens) leaf extract used for treatment of rheumatic diseases. The aim of the present study was to clarify the effects of Hox alpha and the monosubstance 13-HOTrE (13-Hydroxyoctadecatrienic acid) on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1, -3 and -9 proteins (MMP-1, -3, -9). Human chondrocytes were cultured on collagen type-II-coated petri dishes, exposed to IL-1beta and treated with or without Hox alpha and 13-HOTrE. A close analysis by immunofluorescence microscopy and western blot analysis showed that Hox alpha and 13-HOTrE significantly suppressed IL-1beta-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1, -3 and -9 proteins on the chondrocytes in vitro. The potential of Hox alpha and 13-HOTrE to suppress the expression of matrix metalloproteinases may explain the clinical efficacy of stinging nettle leaf extracts in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. These results suggest that the monosubstance 13-HOTrE is one of the more active antiinflammatory substances in Hox alpha and that Hox alpha may be a promising remedy for therapy of inflammatory joint diseases. Histol Histopathol. 2002 Apr;17(2):477-85 Oral aspirin and ibuprofen increase cytokine-induced synthesis of IL-1 beta and of tumour necrosis factor-alpha ex vivo.We investigated the effect of oral aspirin and ibuprofen on the ex vivo synthesis of interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) by stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy volunteers. Seven volunteers took 325 mg of aspirin daily for 14 days. Three weeks after ending aspirin medication, ex vivo IL-1 beta and TNF synthesis induced by exogenous IL-1 alpha was elevated threefold compared to the pre-aspirin value (P = 0.01 and P = 0.005, respectively). Using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a stimulus, no influence of oral aspirin was observed. The increase in cytokine synthesis did not parallel decreased synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Seven weeks after discontinuation of aspirin, cytokine and PGE-2 production returned to pre-aspirin levels. Another seven volunteers took 200 mg of ibuprofen daily for 12 days. Again, there was no effect on LPS- or Staphylococcus epidermidis-induced cytokine synthesis. However, IL-1 alpha-induced synthesis of IL-1 beta was elevated to a mean individual increase of 538% (P < 0.001) and synthesis of TNF was elevated to 270% (P < 0.001) at the end of ibuprofen medication and two weeks after discontinuation of ibuprofen. There were parallel increases in PGE2 and both returned to their pre-ibuprofen levels five weeks after stopping. Although inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenase blunt PGE2-mediated symptoms such as fever and pain, we conclude that short term use of either aspirin or ibuprofen results in a 'rebound' increase in cytokine-induced cytokine synthesis that is not observed in LPS-induced cytokines. Immunology. 1996 Feb;87(2):264-70 Mechanism of 5-lipoxygenase inhibition by acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid.The formation of 5-lipoxygenase (EC 184.108.40.206) products from endogenous substrate by intact rat neutrophilic granulocytes and from exogenous arachidonic acid by rat granulocyte 105,000 x g supernatants and affinity chromatography-purified human leukocyte 5-lipoxygenase was inhibited by acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (IC50 values of 1.5 microM, 8 microM, and 16 microM respectively). With other pentacyclic triterpenes lacking the 11-keto function and/or the carboxyl function on ring A (e.g., amyrin and ursolic acid), no 5-lipoxygenase inhibition was observed. The presence of the noninhibitory pentacyclic triterpenes both in intact cells and in the cell-free system caused a concentration-dependent reversal of the 5-lipoxygenase inhibition by acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid, whereas the inhibitory actions of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors from different chemical classes (MK-886, L-739,010, ZM-230,487 and nordihydroguaiaretic acid) were not modified. The inhibition by acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid and the antagonism by noninhibitory pentacyclic triterpenes were not due to nonspecific lipophilic interactions, because lipophilic four-ring compounds (cholesterol, cortisone and testosterone) neither inhibited the activity of the 5-lipoxygenase nor antagonized the inhibitory action of acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid. Therefore, we conclude that acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid acts directly on the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme at a selective site for pentacyclic triterpenes that is different from the arachidonate substrate binding site. Mol Pharmacol. 1995 Jun;47(6):1212-6 Inhibition of prostaglandin and leukotriene biosynthesis by gingerols and diarylheptanoids.The rhizomes of Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Alpinia officinarum contain potent inhibitors against prostaglandin biosynthesizing enzyme (PG synthetase). Gingerols and diarylhepatanoids were identified as active compounds. Their possible mechanism of action which was deduced from the structures of active compounds indicated that the inhibitors would also be active against arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme of leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis. This was verified by testing their inhibitory effects on 5-lipoxygenase prepared from RBL-1 cells. A diarylheptanoid with catechol group was the most active compound against 5-lipoxygenase, while yakuchinone A was the most active against PG synthetase.

Friday's Post-Earnings Movers: Is it Time to Buy?
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Earnings and earning-related news is the number one catalyst for stock movement. A strong quarter can dictate the direction of a stock for the following three months as can a bad quarter; in the past I have written in detail about such subjects, a domino effect following a strong or bad quarter. In this piece I am looking at three stocks that traded with a considerable amount of volatility. Then, I am determining if any might be attractive to "buy".
Company Provides No Reasons to Buy
Frontline (NYSE: FRO) is currently trading lower by 10% after reporting preliminary Q4 earnings. The company's weakness goes beyond just top and bottom line performance, as its free cash flow declined 14% year-over-year (yoy) to just $137 million. The company has now said that it will reduce its fleet to save cash and to limit its exposure.
Investors are worried that because of such drastic cost-cutting measures the company will be unable to repay its $225 million convertible bond loan, which matures in April 2015. As of now, there are very few reasons to believe that the tanker market will recover, and if not the company could be looking to restructure its business. As a result, I can't find any reasons to purchase the stock at this time.
Strong Earnings & Cautionary Guidance Equals Volatility
After trading higher by almost 4% in the premarket, Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) has reversed to trade with a loss of nearly 7%. The company was in-line with top line expectations but blew past EPS expectations. However, flat comparable store sales and a less-than-stellar outlook for the upcoming quarter outweighed a strong quarter.
For the first time in years, the company increased its dividend, and by 14.3%. This is a stock that is very cheap compared to its fundamentals, and in my opinion, the weak guidance was more of a caution that poor performance is possible. The company has done a great job over the last year at turning its business around, and at these levels, I would buy.
Great Company But Possibly Too Expensive
Sourcefire (NASDAQ: FIRE) announced earnings after the market closed on Thursday, and on Friday the stock rallied higher by more than 13.5%. The company was in-line on EPS but beat on the top line with growth of 27%. The company also issued upbeat guidance for the upcoming quarter and performed well in all measures of its business.
My problem with this stock is its valuation. The company is growing by just 30%, and in my opinion, this level of growth is not enough to validate a price/sales over 6.0 or a P/E ratio over 200. This is a stock with almost 19% of its float being short, therefore much of the gains are most likely a result of short covering, rather than a total reflection of valuation compared to fundamental performance.
In my book, Taking Charge With Value Investing (McGraw-Hill), I examine human behavior and the psychological effects that take place in the minds of investors when a stock shoots higher or falls drastically lower (think roulette at a casino). For many investors, it is very alluring to try and purchase a stock after it reports earnings, and is trading with large gains. However, chasing these trends often create loss, as quite often stocks will trade illogically after earnings. A more efficient practice is to read the earnings report first and then make a decision based on the information within the report. By doing so, you will be able to find the inconsistencies and a distinction between performance and fundamentals, which creates value and allows for large returns.

Monitored Natural Attenuation of Inorganic Contaminants in Ground Water Volume 1 - Technical Basis for Assessment (EPA/600/R-07/139)
This document represents the first volume of a set of three volumes that address the technical basis and requirements for assessing the potential applicability of MNA as part of a ground-water remedy for plumes with non-radionuclide and/or radionuclide inorganic contaminants. Volume 1, titled "Technical Basis for Assessment," consists of three sections that describe 1) the conceptual background for natural attenuation for inorganic contaminants, 2) the technical basis for attenuation of inorganic contaminants in ground water, and 3) approaches to site characterization to support evaluation of MNA. Emphasis is placed on characterization of immobilization and/or degradation processes that may control contaminant attenuation, as well as technical approaches to assess performance characteristics of the MNA remedy. A tiered analysis approach is presented to assist in organizing site characterization tasks in a manner designed to reduce uncertainty in remedy selection.

With the slow disappearance of the big shows that once defined the movement, a new underground scene has emerged. Interestingly, it seems to be almost the opposite of what the "Hot Imports Nights" scene was about, and we'd like to think it owes more than a nod to our own European tuning scene. It goes under several names, but what all the cars have in common is their stance. Known as Stance or Hellaflush in some circles, it's about getting the wheels flush to the body and the car as low as possible. Deep-dish wheels are obviously a bonus. In short, they're re-inventing what the Euro scene has done forever. The tires are being stretched to produce lots of poke, and the bodies are being shaved. Even the stickers have gone! Rob Daehn's awesome rat-look BMW 2002 on custom 16 It's interesting to note that events like Hot Import Nights effectively shaped the import scene for many years. In order to succeed at such events, you had to score well on the judge's checklist. You got points for stickers, color change, wheels, suspension, interior, stereo, forced induction, etc. As a result, all the cars were over the top and uniformly outlandish. The new Stance scene is moving away from that. We saw more cars with dents than vinyl. They're practically adopting the European Rat-look that was popular about eight years ago. However, it's a breath of fresh air for the import scene. And it's coinciding with the air-ride movement that's so popular in the Euro scene right now. Interestingly, there are two camps in Hellaflush: static and air – basically, it's those who prefer coilovers and those who have air suspension: different ways to skin a cat, so to speak, but mirroring our scene nicely. Rob Daehn's awesome rat-look BMW 2002 on custom 16 In a tree-hugging hippy way, we welcome the Stance movement because it's moving the imports to our way of thinking. Low cars with cool wheels, monotone paintwork, clean bodies – it's everything we've been doing for years. And whereas a Jetta looked slightly foolish at HIN, for example, it can now rule the roost at a Stance event. The import and Euro fans finally have common ground to enjoy their love of cars. Of course, there are haters. Our scene has people who don't like air, don't understand poke and won't lower their cars excessively. This is generally for commonsense, practical reasons because a car that's too low stops being functional. Those people are going to hate Hellaflush for the same reasons… In fact, the import crowd is going lower and adding more camber than the Euro scene has generally entertained. Most of our cars can still drive, and performance remains a crucial element of any build. However, we saw some imports leaving the recent Hellaflush LA event with tires that would barely turn. This was the third annual Hellaflush Los Angeles meet, which took place in a large parking lot on Venice Beach, CA. More than 900 cars showed up throughout the day, causing an overflow, with the police temporarily closing one lot to avoid traffic backing up. With the lots full of JDM regulars, plus a healthy does of old and new school Euros, the Stance movement is blurring the lines between Euro and JDM in a positive way. We saw stanced-out Subarus with a static set-up parked next to a Mk5 Jetta on air, yet both owners appreciated each other's work. Its great to see the car scene coming full circle to what we all enjoy: good-looking cars and a great setting for enthusiasts. Now we just need the JDM crowd to admit they copied us before we get them to admit the VIP scene was a re-hash of what AMG was doing to Mercedes back in the '80s! Good times. Don't forget to check out the video at eurotuner.com and youtube.com/eurotuner to get a feel for the scene and this event.

Shoe rack carosel was flimbsy and light duty. I took the top carosel off and gave it to my wife for lighter shoes and sandals
Great price and a quality product
Not heavy duty, you won't be able fill all the racks unless there are light shoes. plastic clamp will not hold. But nice looking and works if you don't overload it. If you want to fil the racks, you will have to use a hose clamp.
Product as described. This is not a heavy duty product but you get what you pay for - it works!
love it

I know it's not JUST for me...(but it makes me feel special)...I 'll share with your other readers.....maybe....lolReplyDelete
I totally didn't realize that adding coffee filters would increase the diameter a lot! :D I can't wait till I do my big one. I have no idea what I'm doing with them. I think one will go in my room. :) Also, think I've over done it with the coffee filter density? :) I still like it, just curious...ReplyDelete

Hi Peaches! Have you read the children's book called Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes? You just might be the lead character Chrysanthemum, who loves her name, or you might be the musice teacher Mrs. Delphinium Twinkle. Then again, you remind me some of Lily with the Purple Plastic Purse, which is another one of his books. All wonderfully creative and fun!ReplyDelete
Well, my goodness. Who knew? They're lovelyReplyDelete
I just made a whole heap of smaller chrysanthemum fkiwers,with tissue paper, for a kids party. Thanks for sharing an idea for expanding this idea. I even have the lanterns here already. So wonderful to have you here as a source of inspiration.ReplyDelete

I love this! I came across this looking for some Chrysanthemum inspired projects, and this is exactly what I was looking for!

Chris Johnson against Usain Bolt?
Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson says he can run with Usain Bolt.
I think I could still probably beat him in the 40. If I actually trained for the distance he trained for, I think I'd have a chance." -- Titans RB Chris Johnson
Despite being wowed by the Olympic champion, Johnson believes he would be up to the challenge against Bolt if they were face to each other in the 40.
"I feel like if I would have kept training for track I'd have a chance, but I play football and he runs track, so it's totally different," Johnson told the Tennessean. "I think I could still probably beat him in the 40. If I actually trained for the distance he trained for, I think I'd have a chance."
Even with his proclamation, Johnson has the utmost respect for Bolt, who is considered the fastest man in the world.
"He is a great athlete," Johnson told the newspaper. "I think he'll be the best track athlete to ever compete in the Olympics."
After setting world records in the 100 and 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics four years ago, Bolt broke his Olympic mark in the 100 by running 9.63 seconds in London. Bolt is also the world-record holder (9.58).
Johnson does have a running pedigree to at least offer a challenge to Bolt. He was a high school track star in Orlando and clocked at 4.24 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine in 2008. It still stands as the fastest time ever at the combine.
SN: Johnson Vs. Bolt?
Chris Johnson thinks he can beat Usain Bolt in a 40-yard dash. Is he totally off base?
Comment and vote!
While Johnson has said he wouldn't mind running against Bolt, the Jamaican track star told a British newspaper earlier this week that he'd like to play for soccer giant Manchester United.
"People think I am joking, but if Alex Ferguson called me up and said, 'OK let's do this, come and have a trial,' it would be impossible for me to say no," Bolt told the Sun on Monday. "I would not take up the challenge if I didn't think I was good enough. I am a very accomplished player and know I could make a difference."

CHICAGO -- The Blackhawks traded forward Andrew Ladd to the Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday, a day after dealing forward Kris Versteeg to Toronto.
Last week, Chicago sent playoff star Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Sopel and Ben Eager to Atlanta and shipped Colin Fraser to Edmonton.
For Ladd, who was a restricted free agent, the Blackhawks acquired defenceman Ivan Vishnevskiy and a second-round pick in 2011.
The 24-year-old Ladd has played on two Stanley Cup winners in his young career. He came to the Blackhawks from Carolina in a 2008 trade for centre Tuomo Ruutu.
Ladd missed the first three games of the final and then returned for the last three while playing with a fractured shoulder and torn ligaments against the Flyers. He was also on a Stanley Cup winner with Carolina in 2006.
Ladd had 37 goals and 62 assists in 184 regular-season games over parts of three seasons with the Blackhawks, including 17 goals and 21 assists last season.
In 36 playoff games for the Blackhawks over the past two seasons, he had six goals and four assists.
Vishnevskiy, 22, had two assists in five games with the Dallas Stars over the past two seasons. He spent most of last season in the American Hockey League with the Texas Stars and Chicago Wolves. He was acquired by the Thrashers from the Stars last February.

The Jagoda Pagoda
Name: Emily Jagoda's Jagoda Pagoda
Location: West LA, CA
Size: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths
Architect Emily Jagoda designed this West LA home with the toughest clients in mind: her own family. The clean lined interior is balanced with warmer elements such as plywood ceilings and redwood vertical wall detailing. Natural lighting was especially an important element of how the "Jagoda Pagoda" feels, with windows situated on at least two sides of every room for natural light and cross ventilation...
Our favourite detail is the bright blue mosaic tiled master bath, alongside the cozy built-in writer's corner where we can imagine happily typing away. The unusual ceiling and nook space is small, but it looks like a spot in the house to get away to for a good read (or good blog post). And check out the built-in kitchen bench that doubles up as book shelving. It's too bad the kitchen itself is not as inviting as the rest of the home; a larger window and some more storage would make this at home cook happier.
The home offers radiant-heated plywood and concrete floors with some notably high end fixtures, appliances and hardware, such as faucets designed by Arne Jacobsen, Liebherr fridge, Bertazzoni range, Miele dishwasher and Lutron dimmers.
The home was also designed with environmental factors in mind, including dual glazed windows, tankless hot water heater, Energy Star appliances, low water and edible landscaping (eucalyptus, olive trees and citrus trees), and a recycled galvanized metal roof. Basically, the "Jagoda Pagoda" is what happens when an architect has the freedom to design their own dream home. But Emily's dream can now be your dream, because apparently according to Curbed LA, this home is for sale, offered as a 2-for-1 special which includes a 1939 bungalow on the same lot. Want to brave a gander at the price? Hope you're ready for a lot of numbers.

im drooling! love this place!
Great place!
Any chance we can know the name and source of that red-bullseye bedcover?
I like this place. It would be very good to seem more. Let's have a full house tour on it.
I love the bathroom! So bright and clean. And the backyard looks perfect for parties.
Just gorgeous!
I love the couch.
Also, it is funny to see all the things she will have to put away once that baby is a little older.
Very nice look though.
That outdoor dining space is amazing!
How amazing!!! I absolutely love it. I can't even believe how beautiful the plywood ceilings look. I was skeptical upon reading that, but man, they are fantastic.
WOWZA, the price... oh, gee, I'll take TWO! NOT!!!
Gorgeous idea...just a LITTLE (okay, a LOT!) out of my pricerange!
are you kidding with those pink candy stripes on the washer/dryer curtains? THAT's fab.
JamesG--did you see the video on their website? 2ontilden.com
ai, why no linky AT? shmaybe now.. http://2ontilden.com
The price has already dropped 10% since listing a month ago.
great deal if it wasn't in a not-so-great neighborhood.
So nice......but sooooo expensive. I'm not that rich!
So often you see a story about a Designer or Architect building their "Dream Home" and then it is on the market... How can a dream have a price tag, if you want to build a spec home and experiment then do that.... but I ask is the planning and the fantasy the best part and the reality a let down ???

About This Event
For more than half a century, student financial aid programs have played a crucial role in increasing the number of Americans with access to a college education. Pell Grants, student loans, and G.I. Bill benefits have helped make America one of the most educated nations in the world.
But despite increased spending on financial aid programs, completion rates remain stagnant. Moreover, college tuition growth has eaten away at the purchasing power of grant programs and has saddled students and families with nearly $1 trillion in debt.
Instead of focusing on building new financial aid tools and approaches, contemporary education policy debates are prioritizing increasing grant amounts, expanding loan limits, or lowering interest rates. This research conference will push past tired discussions to explore opportunities for a more fundamental rethinking of the way aid is designed and delivered. At this conference, America's foremost thinkers on financial aid reform will discuss 10 new pieces of research on how innovations in financial aid policy can
create a more effective and sustainable system.
If you are unable to attend, we welcome you to watch the event live on this page. Full video will be posted within 24 hours.

Roth TSP option delayed
Tuesday - 3/29/2011, 7:46am EDT
Anchor and commentator
If you were hoping to enroll in a Roth Individual Retirement Account in January, you'll have to wait a bit longer.
The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board has delayed rollout of the Roth 401(k) TSP option until April of 2012.
GovExec reports the postponement is designed to give federal payroll offices more time to prepare their systems.
Renee Wilder is the board's research and strategic planning director. She tells Federal Times, the board itself is nearly finished with its own software changes needed to enact the Roth option.
By moving the option to April, the board avoids launching the Roth option during the TSP's busiest transaction season.
TSP Executive Director Gregory Long told FederalTimes the Roth changes are "the biggest thing on our plate - it affects virtually everything."
FederalTimes explains "the Roth option is expected to primarily benefit military service members and select groups of federal employees, such as judges. Most federal employees are likely to have lower incomes and lower taxes in retirement than they do while working and making contributions, and would not benefit from a Roth investment option."
However, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey explains, the "Roth is attractive to many people, especially younger workers, because it is funded with after-tax money. That means all of the earnings from your investment (remember when that was a possibility?) are yours, tax-free when you start tapping your account."

As we told you yesterday, Curator's Corner has moved from the NRA National Firearms Museum's vault and into the office of Senior Curator Phil Schreier. Which, as one might expect, is decorated with show badges, challenge coins, plaques of appreciation, and guns.
While every gun might not have a legendary history or be marked with the always appreciated serial number one, what they can give you a pretty good idea of about the look and feel of a legendary gun ... like the double-action Colt Model 1889 you see above.
What we have there is a Colt Navy Revolver just like the one Teddy Roosevelt wore on his hip while charging up San Juan Hill. It was the first double-action Colt with a swing out cylinder to allow for a faster reload.
To find out why it's call the USS Maine Navy Revolver and how Teddy Roosevelt, a Colonel in the United States Army, came to possess it, you'll have to tune in at 10:40 p.m. eastern time as Phil joins Executive Producer John Popp for Curator's Corner on NRANews.com or Sirius/XM Patriot Satellite Radio.

LIMESTONE COUNTY, AL (WZDX) - Testimony continued in day two of the trial for State Trooper Heath Moss.
Two investigators spent the day on the stand describing details of the April 2011 wreck that killed Jamie and Sarah Gossett.
The lead investigator used a math formula to calculate that Moss was traveling a minimum of 106 miles-per-hour just three seconds before the wreck and 51 miles-per-hour on impact.
Moss was responding to another wreck when his car rear ended the Gossett's car on Lucas Ferry Road in Limestone County.
Moss is charged with two counts of criminal negligent homicide.

TRANSLATION: A two phased increase of the debt ceiling would bring the 2nd phase of this "borrowing" up right around election time, which would remind the citizens of this country of how horrible of an administration we currently have and drastically reduce the chances of a vast majority of democrats being relected. Therefore we want the entire 4 trillion now or nothing at all. Because we as most democrats care about nothing more than being relected. Your liberal friend Charley

At the first set of scientific sessions of the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, there was a common theme to many of the presentations. This revolves around the long natural history of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer – what this means is that the risk of recurrence persists for many years – up to 15 to 20 years after surgery.
While chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and Herceptin in the case of HER2+ cancers, can lower these risks and are standard therapies, the question is what should be done after all treatment is completed? More than half of all the recurrences occur after five years.
Two presentations examined gene signatures obtained on the tumor and showed that genes associated with tumor growth seem to predict early recurrences within a few years, and those that relate to active hormone receptor signaling might indentify those with risk of later recurrences. This needs to be further verified, but it still does not tell us what additional treatment might help.
There are studies that are looking at 10 years of hormonal therapy with aromatase inhibitors compared with the standard five years, but those studies will not yield results for a couple of years. More follow-up from previously as well newly reported trials examining bisphosphonates to prevent recurrences were presented - these are still not showing clear results, with the exception of the ABCSG-12, which is showing a third fewer recurrences with the use of Zometa (zolendronic acid) for three years in premenopausal patients treated with ovarian blockade but without chemotherapy, along with either Arimidex (anastrozole) or tamoxifen. However, the other trials suggest a benefit in the subset of postmenopausal women who are in a "low estrogen environment," where bone turnover is more active.
It is interesting that Dr. Gnant, who presented the ABCSG trial, felt that Zometa was the new standard for care, at least for patients meeting the criteria of that trial, while the commentator, Dr. James Ingle from Mayo Clinic was not as convinced. Still, the whole session pointed to the need to take a very long-term (15- to 20-year) look at outcomes to test new drugs that can improve upon what hormonal therapy does. Also, newer tissue tests can help decide who might be at risk for longer-term recurrence and may be in need of additional treatment.RELATED POSTS
Speaking from experience, being caecnr free for one year makes my odds better. It used to be if you are caecnr free for 5 yrs, then your odds are better. Well, I have been caecnr free since Nov. of 08. I know people will disagree but I don't care. I had a bi-lateral mastectomy. All my tumors are gone and to me, I am caecnr free.

College cheerleaders doing a chant with a little bit of a naughty bent to it? Really?
The athletic director at the University of South Alabama (USA) thinks that those darn kids might be going a bit too far with a basketball chant that may be crossing the line. What do they yell after the team makes a free throw? "USA, South in your mouth."
Actually doesn't make sense to us, but then again, we're not an athletic director.
Knowing college kids, you don't think that this will just make things worse during this season's home games, do you? Nah!
South Alabama's cheerleaders won't be shouting "USA, South in your mouth!" when the university's basketball teams sink free throws this year. Whether fans still yell it is another question. Athletic Director Joel Erdmann said he asked the cheerleading coach to consider phasing out the cheer "due to the ambiguity of the expression."
Erdmann said that his intent was "in no way trying to take the enthusiasm and excitement out of our crowd, but to avoid any misinterpretation." "If anything, they just assured it will be around until the end of time," said student government president Kim Proctor.

The Bhumibol Dam was constructed across the Ping River at Khao Kaew Sub-district, Sam Ngao District of Tak Province. Constructed in 1958 and completed in 1964 with the dam height of 154 m, crest length of 486 m and retention capacity of 13,462 million m3, the dam is the first and largest multipurpose concrete arch dam in Thailand.
It has provided great benefits to the country including electrical generation, irrigation in collaboration with the Sirikit Dam for the areas under the Greater Chao Phraya Project of 1,200,000 ha in the wet season and 480,000 ha in the dry season, flood mitigation of the Central Plain, inland navigation as well as prevention of sea water intrusion in the lower Chao Phraya and Tha Chin river basin.

Recently, several news articles have incorrectly stated that the U.S. will be relaxing or lifting its ban on Scottish haggis. At this time, haggis is still banned in the U.S. The APHIS rule covers all ruminant imports, which includes haggis. It is currently being reviewed to incorporate the current risk and latest science related to these regulations. There is no specific time frame for the completion of this review. Please check back with APHIS periodically for updates.

When I was a teenager, I was fortunate enough to get to go to Hawaii with my family. Since my parents owned their own heating and air conditioning company, family vacations didn't come often. Every time we kids got out of school for the summer, their business would start booming due to the heat! For that reason, my parents decided that we would go for a whole THREE weeks – they knew there probably wouldn't be another family vacation for a year or two. I can't even express how wonderful it was in Hawaii! There are waterfalls, greenery, and wild animals as far as the eye can see! Depending on the island you visit, you can find a plethora of tourist attractions and sights to see.
As with all of our family vacations, the first thing my step-father did was start looking through the local papers and online for Hawaii real estate for sale. You would really be surprised at the great deals you can find! Living in the beautiful state of Hawaii is a dream for many and now, that dream is more in reach than ever. Whether it is the home you will live in year-round, or simply a vacation home you visit once or twice a year, real estate in Hawaii allows for all the luxuries of an island vacation, right in your backyard!

This blog is dedicated to all naturists of color. Our numbers may seem few by comparison, but we are out there.
I created The Black Naturist blog to encourage all nudist of color. Sometimes it's hard to tell the intent of a picture just by looking at it. However, the images provided in the blog are intended to show people that there are a lot of us out there. Personally, I have been participating in social nudist events for about 7 years now. In other words, I have been an active nudist for more than a quarter of my life. The reason I felt this blog was necessary was because it was hard for me to get involved in this lifestyle. Other than the obvious social views on public nudity, I was troubled by the fact that I was a young minority which was atypical for what I expected a nudist to be. I eventually tried it thanks to my friend, who knew how interested I was in the subject, deciding she would support me and join me at Haulover Beach in Florida. To my surprise there were quite a few minorities at that beach. When I returned home, I decided to join a local nudist club in my area. This club wasn't the most diverse place, but the people where so nice and I was so comfortable that I just didn't care anymore. I have been enjoying the lifestyle ever since. I believe the fear is what is stopping most of us from participating in events containing social nudity. People fear that they will stand out because of their age, shape, and color. The truth is… nobody cares. Get the courage to try it out and you will see that people really don't care what you look like. Go and you may find out that there are more people like you practicing nudism than you think. Even if there isn't, it could be your presence that encourages others to give it a try as well.
I want to thank all the genuine people who have been following The Black Naturist blog. There will probably be very few updates from here on. Most of my posts have been pictures and there are definitely enough of them by now. I really do hope you enjoyed my blog, thanks again.

A superior court judge has refused to be drawn into an early decision to decide whether several thousand signatures endorsing Mary Norwood's independent candidacy for Fulton County Commission chairman are invalid.
On the petition signatures in question, the word "Fulton" listed on the accompanying addresses is typed instead of hand-written by the signers. Norwood says she obtained permission from election officials to do so.
Norwood's Democratic rival, incumbent John Eaves, insists that state law requires the word "Fulton" to be handwritten – by those signing the petition.
Click here for a little background. Norwood says 8,000 signatures are at stake. She must gather 23,000 signatures by July 13.
Read the one-page decision here. Wrote Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter:
"The Court finds that, at this time, there is no actual controversy…and the ends of justice do not warrant a declaratory judgment."
Which means Norwood won't get an opinion on the legality of her signatures until after she's handed in her petitions.
From the Norwood campaign:
"While I am disappointed with the judge's ruling, our campaign is hopeful that when the petitions are filed on July 13th, the Board of Registration and Elections and, if necessary, Judge Baxter, will validate the signatures by the law, their Department's written approvals and common sense," Norwood said.
"Rejection of our position in the next few weeks could invalidate thousands of signatures, which could keep me off the ballot. This would be a real loss for registered voters all over Fulton County, putting them in a position where their voices may not be heard this November."
Norwood continued, "It is unclear how John Eaves and his campaign even knew about the Department of Registration and Elections' approval for the use of the word 'Fulton' on the petition form." Material returned to Norwood's staff following an open records request supplied no insight into how John Eaves could have learned of the approval to Norwood's campaign.

Well…Great! Our judges refuse to decide until it's too late to recover from whatever decision they make….Sounds like the URBAN downtown politicians are taking over this election.
Why not stop the Obamanist, nickel-dime technicality, Chicago-style tactics and just run an election? ….HUH, EAVES?
Has somebody bothered to ask John Eaves: "Are you too "chicken" to run against Norwood straight up? Well….are ya punk? "
How soon before we hear your blatant racist bating ads bringing up fire hoses and police dogs? Huh, Eaves?

I think I sense a write-in campaign for Norwood building.

Maybe Mary can robocall everyone in Fulton Co. asking for their support! Since she owns a robocall business, all she has to do is pony up for the registered voter list. Oops, people hate robocalls. What's that Mary? You don't want to piss off potential supporters before you're officially on the ballot?
July 1st, 2010
7:54 pm
So, let's see, the Board of Elections is appointed by the Fulton County Commission….. how could they possibly be unbiased in all this? Eaves is conveniently getting his attys to stall until after the deadline.
Eaves, what are you so afraid of?
July 1st, 2010
10:47 pm
I see, so if a judge can't decide when presented with all the evidence, how is the candidate supposed to know? Kafka, where are you when we need you?
July 2nd, 2010

John Eaves is wrong, and he knows it. I hope Mary Norwood succeeds. If I lived in Fulton, I would sign the petition for her.

John Eaves is an Idiot. He must have attended the 'Mike Jacobs School of Illiteracy." Eaves, like Rep. Jacobs, twists the law and goes to court over the dumbest things. I thought things were bad in DeKalb County. Georgia's still Crackers alright. Crackers as in Crazy.

She didn't follow the rules. Why the hate? I like her a lot, but she didn't pay attention to detail.

It's cookie time, bitches. And by "cookie time" I mean the annual "Girl Scouts Cookie Season SHOWDOWN!!!" Time to untie those aprons and snap off those rubber gloves! It's troop leader vs. troop leader, mom vs. mom…and trust me, you don't wanna fuck with J.
You know J.'s type: Nosy, ambitious, uptight. The type who never does anything wrong and always feels the need to shove her face into other people's business. She's a smug MommyJacker who's posing as the Girl Scouts Police, and that's a pretty scary hybrid. Something tells me her neighbors are like, "Gosh, it's cookie season again? I think I'll get my Lemon Chalet Cremes™ elsewhere this year, J., but thanksss. Good luck to your poor daughter!"

Something is just "off" in this recipe - I used beautiful fresh pineapple and toasted my coconut to perfection. All in all, there is not really a "pina colada" feel to these bars, and I ended up throwing out the rest of the bars after two servings. There was a tin / metal taste to my bars after they set in the fridge which was very odd given that I used no metal in either prep or the bake portion, which could have led to the aftertaste being metalic. Overall, I would not make these bars again given my results the first time around...

This uses a small amount of coconut flour, which is slightly sweet, high in fiber (3 grams per tablespoon), and gluten-free. Look for it in health-food stores or order online from Bob's Red Mill (www.bobsredmill.com). You also can substitute an equal amount of all-purpose flour. Standard lemons work well in this recipe, but Meyer lemons, which have sweeter flavor, are a good substitute if you see them in the store (or have a tree in your greenhouse).

I have Autocad 2013 and Inventor Fusion 2013 on Windows 7 Home Premium. When starting the communication channe and after making the settings (country/region and check for online content) I can't see any of the autodesk channels. This happens in both of standard user and administrator profiles. Can anybody help me with this error?
Has this problem been solved, because I have the same problem.
I also had problems with access to the online help. This has something to do with our ISA-server. Today my system-administrator gave me temporary full access (no limitations). This solves the problem with online help (now try to find out whit firewall-setting needs to be changed), but I still don't see any Autodesk Channels.
Have you ever tried this out in Inventor? If Inventor has the same problem, then it might because you're not able to access the Communication Center server from your network for some reason. You may contact the IT of your company or the local reseller of Autodesk on this case.

Michigan coach Brady Hoke has named punter Matt Wile the starter against South Carolina for the January First Outback Bowl. While takes over after regular starter Will Hagerup was suspended due to a violation of team rules. Hagerup, who was the Big Ten punter of the year this season, is no stranger to trouble. He was suspended the first four games of 2011 for violating team rules, and missed the 2010 Ohio State game for the same reason.
In Thursday's bowl games, #24 San Jose State beat Bowling Green 9-to-20 in the Military Bowl, Cincinnati defeated Duke 48-to-34 in the Belk Bowl and it was Baylor beating number-17 UCLA 49-to-26 in the Holiday Bowl.

The second-ranked linebacker in the nation according to Rivals.com, Matthew Thomas, was the latest top defender to announce his decision on National Signing Day. After a long decision, Thomas decided to stay in his home state and attend Florida State University.
Thomas, at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds is the third-ranked player in the state of Florida, per Rivals. He is a major get for the Seminoles and one that they had hoped to land.
The five-star recruit out of Booker T. Washington High School in Miami has great closing speed and ball skills for a linebacker, paired with incredible awareness and a nose for the ball. It is a dangerous combination of natural skill that could set Thomas up for stardom if he can continue to develop and grow.
Thomas was considering offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Miami and USC, but ultimate chose the Seminoles.
