Aurora Chooses AstroTurf for New Park
Aurora University is building a brand new athletic complex, and the school has chosen AstroTurf® to help them realize it.
Aurora, IL (PRWEB) June 09, 2017
Aurora University is building a brand new athletic complex, and the school has chosen AstroTurf® to help them realize it. Construction of Spartan Athletic Park is underway, and as part of the development Aurora has purchased two state-of-the-art playing surfaces from AstroTurf. Installation of the two fields is slated to begin in June.
Phase I of the Spartan Athletic Park plan calls for the establishment of a brand new softball facility as well as a field for soccer, lacrosse, and football. The outfield and foul territory portions of the softball field will be surfaced with AstroTurf’s RootZone Diamond Blend. This premium artificial turf system is specifically engineered to emulate the look, feel, and playability of natural grass for baseball and softball use.
The multipurpose field will have RootZone 3D Decade installed. So named because it comes with an unprecedented ten year warranty, this product delivers superior durability with high level performance and aesthetics.
“We’re honored to play a part in the development of this fantastic new sports park at Aurora University,” said Rob Mitchell, Regional Sales Manager for AstroTurf. “The turf systems they’ve selected will deliver long-lasting performance for their student athletes while adding to the pleasing aesthetic of the park’s design.”
Spartan Athletic Park is being developed on a 75-acre parcel of land just south of campus that the school recently purchased. Aurora University anticipates that the multisport complex will enable the school to host championships, postseason tournaments, summer youth camps, and community events in the years ahead.
About AstroTurf®
For athletes and sport enthusiasts, AstroTurf® has redefined the way the game is played. The brand offers advanced, state-of-the-art, multi-sport and specialized synthetic turf systems with proprietary engineered technologies. A growing number of high schools, colleges, professional sports teams and municipalities continue to select AstroTurf-branded products for their premium quality, technical superiority, and safety.

Megyn Kelly, NBC Under Fire Over 'Sickening' Alex Jones Interview
NBC News and Megyn Kelly are under fire for giving airtime to far-right radio show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
In the past, Jones has claimed that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job.” He also said the parents of the 20 students murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 were actors and the deaths of the children as well as six school employees were all faked.
Kelly was criticized on social media for what some saw as an attempt to normalize Jones and his outlandish and untrue claims. She defended herself by saying President Donald Trump had praised Jones and appeared on his show. She also noted that Jones’ InfoWars was given credibility when the site received White House press credentials.
“Many don’t know him; our job is 2 shine a light,” she wrote.
But that didn’t slow the outrage. Some viewers even called for a boycott of the network over the upcoming interview. Here’s a sampling:
My nephew survived Sandy Hook. I am not tolerating this. Will never watch @megynkelly or @NBCNews again if they choose to air this.

Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells Use Hedgehog to ‘evilize’ Docile Neighbors
University of Colorado Cancer Center study pinpoints promising link in the chain of hedgehog signaling that, when broken, could reduce the metastatic potential of breast cancer.
AURORA, Colo. (PRWEB) June 12, 2017
A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published today in Nature Communications shows that metastatic breast cancer cells signal neighboring cells in ways that allow otherwise anchored cells to metastasize. The work pinpoints a promising link in the chain of signaling that, when broken, could reduce the metastatic potential of the disease.
The finding takes place in the context of an important debate in the field of research into breast cancer metastasis, namely whether breast cancer cells must undergo what is called epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in order to metastasize. In EMT, cells that have differentiated to become epithelial tissue (one of the four kinds of specialized tissue in the human body), lose this differentiation to regain characteristics and abilities of mesenchymal cells. One of these mesenchymal abilities is to survive detachment from anchor tissues to migrate freely to potential new sites of metastasis.
Early work showed that EMT is associated with metastasis. Subsequent work showed that individual cells do not, in fact, have to undergo EMT to metastasize (reducing interest in drug development aimed at stopping this transition). However, the current study shows that while individual cells may not have to undergo EMT to metastasize, these non-EMT cells may have to receive signals from cells that have undergone EMT transition, in a process the paper calls, “crosstalk between EMT and non-EMT cells that promotes dissemination.”
The paper also pinpoints an important bottleneck for these signals that allow metastasis of otherwise anchored cells: EMT cells signal their non-EMT neighbors by activating the GLI transcription factor. When researchers used the GLI1/2 inhibitor GANT61 to treat models of the disease, non-EMT cells were once again restricted from metastasis.
“A tumor is not one thing. There is heterogeneity – many kinds of cancer cells acting in many different ways. What we show is that within a breast tumor, cells that have undergone EMT that makes them more aggressive and stem-like secrete molecules that affect the behaviors of surrounding cells, making these cells able to navigate the various steps of metastasis and seed new sites. Our work shows that in addition to these cells that have undergone EMT, it may be nearby cells influenced by those EMT cells that are able to metastasize,” says Heide Ford, PhD, David F. and Margaret Turley Grohne Chair in Basic/Translational Cancer Research, Associate Director for Basic Research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center.
EMT is induced by a number of chemicals called transcription factors, which influence the expression of a cell’s genes. Previous work in the Ford lab and elsewhere have shown these transcription factors that influence EMT to include Twist1, Snail1 and Six1. The Ford lab has shown that some cancer cells are able to up-regulate these transcription factors, thus increasing the rate of EMT. In the current study, the Ford lab, with first author Deepika Neelakantan, introduced EMT cells expressing these transcription factors to cultures of epithelial breast cancer cells not expressing these transcription factors.
“The addition of cells expressing Snail1 or Twist1 worked through Six1 to increase the migration and invasion of these otherwise more fixed epithelial breast cancer cells,” Ford says. Importantly, even the addition of material in which EMT cells had been grown, but without the cells themselves, made cultures of epithelial breast cancer cells more invasive.
“It is not the presence of EMT cells per se that creates the invasive characteristics of epithelial cells,” Ford says. “It is the presence of secreted factors created by EMT cells. Although clearly the presence of these EMT cells is the likely source of these secreted factors in tissue.”
In other words, some “residue” of EMT cells was gifting the same metastatic potential to non-EMT cells.
The work also shows what this EMT “residue” was doing inside non-EMT, epithelial cells. It turned out that these secreted factors activated the much-studied “hedgehog” pathway in the epithelial cells, and that this activation was critical to increase the aggressiveness of the epithelial cells.
Again, some breast cancer cells learn to up-regulate transcription factors including Snail1 Twist1, and Six1 to promote EMT, thus gaining the ability to metastasize. Nearby epithelial cells recognize factors secreted by Snail1 and Twist1, again working through Six1, and thus also become able to metastasize. And this signaling takes place through the hedgehog pathway. For the Ford lab the question became where to intercede in the chain of hedgehog signaling to keep these transcription factors from initiating EMT.
This question, as well, exists in the context of an important debate. Hedgehog signaling has been shown to be important in many types of cancer. However, hedgehog inhibitors have been largely unsuccessful in clinical trials. Now with a more precise understanding of how transcription factors interface with the hedgehog pathway to promote EMT and eventually metastasis, the Ford lab hoped to discover exactly where in this chain of hedgehog signaling would be the best place to dam this flow of information.
“The conditions that lead to secretion of these factors are different in different contexts, but eventually it all goes through the main transcription factor that mediates hedgehog signaling, the Gli transcription factor,” Ford says. “You can try to break this signaling chain at any point, but we show that breaking the chain at the top of the signaling pathway may not have much effect – EMT cells may still be able to influence epithelial cells through other channels that activate the pathway by targeting Gli in other ways. But because all of this signaling passes through Gli, downstream inhibitors could be efficacious in treating metastatic progression of breast cancer.”
Results from this study suggest that the lack of efficacy in hedgehog inhibitors may be due to the pathway becoming activated through different means – targeting any single activation mechanism may not work, as other types of cancer cells within a heterogeneous population may be able to activate hedgehog in other ways. But downstream from these methods of activation, hedgehog signaling eventually depends on the Gli transcription factor. This study implies that inhibiting hedgehog signaling at the point of Gli transcription factor may help to stop EMT transition and reduce the metastatic potential of breast cancer.

AURORA, Colo. (PRWEB) June 12, 2017
A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published today in Nature Communications shows that metastatic breast cancer cells signal neighboring cells in ways that allow otherwise anchored cells to metastasize. The work pinpoints a promising link in the chain of signaling that, when broken, could reduce the metastatic potential of the disease.
The finding takes place in the context of an important debate in the field of research into breast cancer metastasis, namely whether breast cancer cells must undergo what is called epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in order to metastasize. In EMT, cells that have differentiated to become epithelial tissue (one of the four kinds of specialized tissue in the human body), lose this differentiation to regain characteristics and abilities of mesenchymal cells. One of these mesenchymal abilities is to survive detachment from anchor tissues to migrate freely to potential new sites of metastasis.
Early work showed that EMT is associated with metastasis. Subsequent work showed that individual cells do not, in fact, have to undergo EMT to metastasize (reducing interest in drug development aimed at stopping this transition). However, the current study shows that while individual cells may not have to undergo EMT to metastasize, these non-EMT cells may have to receive signals from cells that have undergone EMT transition, in a process the paper calls, “crosstalk between EMT and non-EMT cells that promotes dissemination.”

NASA rocket launch could create an artificial aurora. Here's how to watch.
NASA will fill the skies with colorful, glowing clouds on Monday night as part of a rocket test.
Skywatchers on the mid-Atlantic coast can watch the artificial aurora with their own eyes, while everyone else can catch it via livestream — that is, so long as the conditions cooperate. Four previous attempts were called off in recent weeks due to high winds, clouds, and boats in the hazard area.
SEE ALSO: Watch mesmerizing footage of SpaceX's historic rocket landing
Monday's launch is slated to occur between 9:04 p.m. to 9:19 p.m. ET at the Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's eastern shore.
The luminescent bursts are key to NASA's testing of a new "ampoule ejection" system, which will support scientific studies of the ionosphere and aurora. Read more...

Best color LED smart bulbs
Smart color light bulbs—LED-based bulbs that can be controlled by a smartphone and “tuned” to emit any hue in the rainbow—are no longer a new idea. What is new is how far this technology has come since its advent just a few years ago. Also new: Products like the Nanoleaf Aurora that fundamentally change the light bulb concept. Aurora is a system of interlocking LED panels that let you decorate with light. You'll find our review here.
Color LED bulbs aren’t quite a commodity yet, but they are getting close to maturity as far as the market goes (the Aurora being an exception). Today’s bulbs are more compact, much brighter, have better color representation, and, for the most part, feature control apps that do more than ever, and are easier to set up. Prices have also come down, with some no-name color-tunable bulbs now available for less than $10 each. (Buyer beware: You get what you pay for.)

JPMorgan Pulls Ads From NBC News After Megyn Kelly's "Repulsive" Alex Jones Interview
While Megyn Kelly's interview with Russian President (and all around global bad guy if one were to believe the daily barrage of leftist headlines) Vladimir Putin did not raise the ire of advertisers, it appears *her interview with right-wing provocateur Alex Jones has lurched from social media firestorm to real-world dollars and cents for NBC News*.*The sit-down has been promoted as a discussion about “controversies and conspiracies.”*
In a video promoting the interview, Jones talks about the 9/11 attacks as an “inside job.” In the clip, Kelly also brings up Sandy Hook, saying: “When you say parents faked their children’s deaths, people get very angry.” Jones replies: “But they don’t get angry about half-a-million dead Iraqis from the sanctions.”
Next Sunday, I sit down with conservative radio host @RealAlexJones to discuss controversies and conspiracies #SundayNight June 18 on NBC pic.twitter.com/7bVz6Fobf5
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) June 11, 2017
And now, as The Wall Street Journal reports, *J.P. Morgan has asked for its local TV ads and digital ads to be removed from Kelly’s show and from all NBC news programming until after the show airs*, according to a person familiar with the matter.
*The company doesn’t want any of its ads to appear adjacent to any promotions for the interview, *the person added.
This comes hours after Kristin Lemkau, J.P. Morgan’s chief marketing officer, questioned why Ms. Kelly would conduct the interview.
“As an advertiser, I’m repulsed that @megynkelly would give a second of airtime to someone who says Sandy Hook and Aurora are hoaxes."

On his radio program Monday, Jones said that he thinks Sandy Hook happened, or at least that children died, though there are anomalies about the event. However, he said that was edited from the NBC promotion. *“I’m tired of being misrepresented,” Jones said and added that he demanded Kelly’s “hit piece” not air on Father’s Day.*
WSJ reports that other NBC advertisers have stayed mum on the planned episode, at least publicly. Reported by Zero Hedge 19 hours ago.
