Developer Dan Swanson is dropping a bankruptcy case he filed for one of the priciest new homes in Palm Beach.
The unexpected move could mean Swanson has found a buyer for the home at 1220 S. Ocean Blvd. or is prepared to litigate with the primary lender, TD Bank, which is attempting to foreclose, observers of the case said.
In a written motion filed with the bankruptcy court, attorneys for Swanson's company said it appeared he could not reach an agreement with the parties. Swanson seeks "dismissal of the bankruptcy due to the extremely litigious posture of the bankruptcy case and the position announced by and advanced by the lenders."
The accompanying slideshow features images of the home.
Swanson built the French-inspired mansion on speculation and tried to market it for $84 million, which would place it among the most valuable single-family homes in South Florida.
But the home did not sell, even when Corcoran Group lowered the price to $74 million. Swanson said in court filings that the project had $41.5 million in debts. TD Bank had provided two loans totaling about $23 million while New Providence Capital loaned $6.3 million.
According to county records, Swanson’s company paid $20.8 million for the 2.11-acre lot in 2007.
Records said the built area is 24,369 square feet. Amenities include an elevator, boat dock, patio, fountain and in-ground pool.
Anthony Pizzarelli, a luxury real estate agent, said banks are usually reluctant to file foreclosure on such high-dollar properties due to additional challenges added to fetch top-dollar pricing.
“I see market examples to support a premium purchase price superior to the debt,” Pizzarelli said, adding that the right marketing and debt restructure approach would be necessary.

BERNIE BAHRMASEL: Welcome to this media conference call promoting the highly anticipated world middleweight championship between Unified World Middleweight Champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and WBA Middleweight Champion and Mandatory Challenger Daniel “The Miracle Man” Jacobs set for Saturday, March 18 at The Mecca of Boxing, Madison Square Garden in New York City. The championship event, presented by K2 Promotions will be produced and distributed by HBO Pay Per View and will start at 9 pm ET / 6 pm PT. In the coming weeks we will hear from both fighters on separate calls but today we are joined by an integral member of Jacobs’ Oakland based training camp, former Junior Welterweight World Champion Chris Algieri. Chris is working in the capacity of performance nutritionist coach and he will provide us with a unique insight to the Jacobs’ camp. Jacobs’ head trainer is Andre Rozier. Chris is the Head Performance Nutrition Coach at Stony Brook University. He has a Master Degree in Clinical Nutrition and is a Certified Sports Nutritionist by the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
CHRIS ALGIERI: Thanks Bernie and it is great to be here. Training is going great so far. Daniel is a wonderful guy to work with and someone I have known for a long time in a personal capacity but to work with him professionally has been a joy. He is willing and trusting with the guidance that I provide and offer. It’s been great so far and he is really a talented guy and he’s going to shock the world on March 18.
How did this arrangement come about?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I’ve known Danny for a great number of years from being in the boxing circuit in New York and we fought on several cards together in coming up. My manager Kevin Rooney and Danny’s advisor Keith Connolly are very close and the idea of this came up – this fight is the biggest of Danny’s career, he has been a middleweight his entire career and wanted to be able to perform at his best, at the highest level and be able to make the weight as comfortable as possible. They have used nutritionists in the past but none that had boxing experience like mine of course, so they reached out to see if something like this could be worked out, especially scheduling wise and if I would even be interested. We spoke about it and we went back and forth and the timing was right. I knew Danny had wanted this fight for a long time and it’s a huge opportunity for him and all of New York boxing and it was pretty much a no-brainer at that point to get involved.
Have you been asked advice in the past from boxers that led you to get involved in this?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Absolutely – a little known fact is that I have actually been doing this for a number of years for a multitude of fighters in differing combat sports and disciplines – guys in MMA, UFC and Bellator, wrestlers and boxers. It’s something I’ve been doing alongside my own boxing career for a number of years, this is just more high profile and one that I thought would be impossible to hide from the public. Not that I was trying to hide it, but I was just trying to help fighters out so they could perform at their best. I just felt that was their job.
Are you willing to name names?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Yes, so I just worked with Ryan LaFlare, a Long Island guy who had a big win a couple of weeks ago. Andres Bermudez who had a tough loss a couple weeks before that. I have been working with Paulie Malignaggi for a big fight that he has coming up. Then a bunch of more lower level guys who are on their way up – Luis Arias, a super middleweight, who is 16 or 17-0. Also guys who I have been working with informally with people who knew of my career outside of boxing and most fighters will grab me and ask me questions when the opportunity arises and I am always willing to share.
What is your impression so far of Danny in training camp?
CHRIS ALGIERI: The most impressive part for me, and what is a surprising aspect of watching Danny train, is how he hits extremely hard with both hands. That was definitely an eye opener for me. I knew he was a big puncher just from watching his fights, but seeing him first hand in the gym, he is an incredible puncher with both hands which you don’t see very often. Most guys have one good hand and one good shot but he’s got both. Also, leading up to the camp I did a lot of work and his team has been in place for a number of years so I knew what I was getting into in terms of training style and what the schedule would look like in terms of week to week to get a good idea of what was going on in order to initially accept him and to make a plan for his nutrition and a dietary plan. I think I found that, from his team, that he is working harder than ever. He really has been pushing each and every single session. At this point the last couple of weeks he has been holding back and making sure he has been getting enough rest and recovery so he can go out there and perform as hard as he can each and every session.
What about you, have you been working out?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I’ve been getting some great work out here. I’ve been asked what it’s like out here and it’s a great environment for training. It’s very easy to discipline yourself and focus. The schedule is set and we go and work. Its been great for me in that aspect and I have been getting in some sparring as well. You know me, I am a lifer, so this is a great life style for me to keep in shape and I am always ready for what is next. But right now we are really just focused on March 18 and after that I will be coming home in great shape and ready to get to work if something comes up.
Who have you been sparring with?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I have actually been working with some of Danny’s sparring partners – Sergey Derevyanchenko, Prenice Brewer and another we call Suicide, so I am getting some good work with some middleweights and welterweights and it’s been a lot of fun so far.
Nothing set in stone?
CHRIS ALGIERI: No there is nothing set right now.
What is your perspective on the fight?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Danny is the underdog and probably rightfully so leading into this fight with how “GGG” has been doing. In terms of the other contenders out there, Danny presents the best style. He is a long, rangy big middleweight who has very good boxing skills and power in both hands and is supremely conditioned. If you add all that together with Danny’s boxing skills, Danny has a real chance to upset the apple cart and shock the world.
You have been the underdog, against Provodnikov, and won – so how does Jacobs look to you?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Being in that position is all psychology and psychology is constant throughout the camp and it builds. Every camp when I was successful as the underdog, we had a mentality in camp to underline psychology and it really builds until fight night. You have to believe in yourself when that bell rings and you have to face the guy across from you who is the favorite. You have no doubt leading into the ring because when you step into the boxing ring you are naked and if you have a doubt it shows. We have really been hammering home the idea that this is our fight to win – this is Danny’s moment, this is Danny’s night and it’s been great to watch him psychologically become more and more confident and he’s been getting in better condition and shedding the weight and been getting better in sparring so I think we are in a great place right now and definitely have momentum on our side and camp has been fun. We are having a good time. There is a lot of hard work and at the same time everyone is on that same path that March 18 is all about victory.
What is the day like? Do you spend the whole day with him?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I actually spend more time with him than anyone else. I wake him up in the morning and we have breakfast and we train together at that point. Some kind of cardio session then we come back and I cook and we eat and sit around and talk – we talk about the fight and we watch tape as well of Gennady’s past fights and I give my insight of what I think would work and what he thinks and we kind of go back and forth in that sense. Then when it’s boxing we go to the gym and I like to watch what he is doing and when he is sparring I am throwing in pointers here and there. We end the day together when we have dinner then kind of split our ways and I say “OK champ see you in the morning.” It’s been that way throughout. We do have a lot of contact, but as a fighter I know that it is good to have some silent recovery to kind of let the mind slow down so there is often time where you just sit in silence. I’m doing what I’m doing and he’s doing what he’s doing – that mental recovery is extremely important in training camp.
How important is it to get away from distractions – like you did when you went to Vegas to train for Pacquiao?
CHRIS ALGIERI: It’s a great point and it think it can be kind of understated. It’s easy to get caught up with a lot of distractions and not even so much in a bad way. It could be good distractions, it could be your family, your friends or people reaching out to you to wish you luck or stop by the gym and say hello – those kinds of things although they are not negative, they take some time and take some energy out of you. When you go away to camp you kind of lock yourself away and be 100% totally focused on the task at hand – really focus on all the aspects – not just the aspect of training – the aspect of recovery and mental preparation – the aspect of studying and rehearsing and focusing and visualizing. Those things, there are only so many hours in a day and if you have to spend more of that time dealing with outside influences it takes away from your actual training as a whole.
What is the No. 1 mistake that fighters make when they are trying to cut weight?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Great question. I just had a presentation about this over in Dallas at a fitness nutrition and sports conference. The pitfalls of what fighters do in training camp to “Make the weight.” What I have seen the most over the years is the most detrimental to one’s health and to actually making the weight is restricting their water intake. I’ve seen it over the years where a fighter would spar cutting their water intake two or three weeks out of their fight in order to hit a number on the scale. I’ll tell you for sure that # 1 that’s not how to make weight and # 2, is detrimental to the athlete’s health and being dehydrated you are not going to perform as sharp, and #3, you are not going to be able to take the punches as well. Our brain needs the spinal fluids, if you are in a dehydrated state in puts you in a much more dangerous position for a brain injury. When you have guys that are stuck on this number on a scale, there is anxiety when it comes to stepping on the scale and it approaches a number that they don’t want to be at, you see guys cutting back on their water intake several weeks out from the fight. Your body does not hold water and you can deplete your water in a few hours or a few days and it does not make any sense to start that far out.
When you are cooking, are you counting calories? What is the goal?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Depending on the phase of camp, like when I first got here the goal was to fuel Danny properly so that he could perform at a high level since it is more intense out here than what he is use to doing. In order to properly fuel his body so he could get through the workouts, recover from the workouts and be ready for the next day or the next session. And also we had a lot of carbohydrates and protein for recovery and for feeling full. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and different kinds of proteins and amino acids – that way we are getting an underlying stock hold of micronutrients and vitamins and minerals – actual nutrition. It’s easy to count and think about macros and calories but the body is much more complicated than that and you have to think about the micronutrient content of your food. You have to believe in the colors in the way that which are indicative of the colors that you see in the foods when we are eating the food and the way that it is prepared is important. I think a lot of the work that we did earlier in the camp when we were loading him up on a nutritional level is starting to show now to really pick up his ability and his output.
I was talking to his longtime girlfriend Natalie who was in town and she was saying how Danny wasn’t eating snacks like he normally does – apparently he is a bit of a night snacker – and he hasn’t been complaining about that at all. I said, no it’s because we are packing in so much nutrition in every single meal, he’s not missing anything. There is no need to go reach for snack or chocolates or candies or popcorn or these kinds of things. He’s at a level where his body is satisfied.
What do you think about where Danny is now compared to when he began?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I think his name says it all – he is a “Miracle Man.” It’s an incredible story – the guy beat cancer. I have been dealing with a lot of guys out here – guys who knew Danny from his amateur days and when he was such a stud. I don’t have that amateur background – I didn’t know him coming up but they all knew each other. I’ve only known Danny coming up through the pro ranks and to hear about how he was then at the beginning of his pro career then his bout with cancer. It’s incredible story and to see where he’s gotten now – he was told he would never fight again and not only did he fight again but he’s a world champion and now obviously in the biggest fight in the division that can be made. It feels good. It’s a heartwarming story. And it’s great when I guy like Danny who has a great personality.
Did you go to him or did he come to you?
CHRIS ALGIERI: His team reached out to me. He had a nutritionist that he had been using for several camps and they were looking to step it up because of the magnitude of the fight.
Were you pleased with Danny’s 30-day weight check?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I am actually very pleased with where his weight is at this point. I heard some people talking about how heavy he was but if you noticed the pictures from the weigh-in, we weighed in at his apartment so we didn’t weigh him in at the gym so it wasn’t like he just finished a workout, depleted, which I’m sure that a lot of guys do for the 30-day weigh-in or for the 7-day weigh-in. We had eaten twice before that and he was hydrated. Like I said earlier, athletes dehydrating themselves too early – I have no need nor desire to have my athlete dehydrated for any period of time during training camp. To have him step on a scale to reach a number for fans is not something I really care about. We are actually very happy about where his weight is at this point. He’s a big strong middleweight and his body has been changing properly throughout the last couple weeks and we are able to adjust his hydration and he’ll be ready fight night and I’m looking forward to getting him to a comfortable weight for fight week.
Has anything been done drastically from last training camps to get him to this point?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I haven’t been involved in his past training camps so I really can’t give an answer on that, although from speaking with the rest of the team he has picked up his intensity and the volume of his workload is important for me to be here to kind of monitor to really increase his nutrition so he is healthy and recovering properly.
Do you think the current training camp is something you would use in the future?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Yes, it is really a great area to train in. There are a lot of top fighters out here and the facilities are fantastic. I have been getting some really quality sparring out here. Myself I have been able to get my own work in. It’s been high quality work out here and it does make sense – it is a hotbed for training and a place I would like to come to in the future.
Have you found yourself tweaking anything he does from a boxing standpoint? Danny, by doing this you are expending too much energy?
CHRIS ALGIERI: Absolutely, Danny trusts me and the skill and the level that I have fought at so he will question me often about boxing technique. We have gone over some of his fights and I am present at all of his sparring sessions. Little tweaks here and there and little technical aspects that he gets from guys that have been in there at the highest level always helps. I think there are some aspects of my game that I think Danny could utilize quite well in this fight. With his athleticism and his style. GGG’s style is pretty set and we know how he is going to come.
Do you recommend anything that other boxers don’t use?
CHRIS ALGIERI: In terms of the exercises, I am pretty much his running partner throughout this whole camp. I am a pretty good runner and being able to push him is a good asset to him. He feels that he needs to get his runs in aside from all of the other conditioning aspects that he is doing. So when he says he is ready to run I am ready to run. It’s easier when you go on a long run when you have somebody with you who is going through it to. The other day it was a rainy Monday and we were getting poured on – when doing it alone that five miles can easily turn into three, but when you have someone with you who is going step by step it’s easier to finish and get through that. In terms of nutrition and nutrients I’m big on colors and big on complex carbs and big on varying up the protein sources and varying degrees of amino acids to get into the blood stream and also the timing is really important – you’re utilizing certain nutrients. As soon as his workout is done he is sweating and getting something in his system right away – carbohydrates and hydration right back in.
Was there anything when you began that made you say ‘stop doing this?’
CHRIS ALGIERI: In terms of food there was no issue – what kinds of foods and what to eat and when. I would ask him what he wanted for dinner that night and he would say whatever you think. That made it very easy for me. Some of the things aside from the nutrition and his training – was getting rest – overtraining early. He was pushing very hard because it was a big opportunity. It’s easy to push each session and not rest enough and your mind is busy in between, so finding recovery time and really finding rest was something I was concerned about immediately when I first got here, then we were able to work that into the schedule. Things are more manageable now and there is a much better mood. Rest and recovery at the highest level is just as important as hard training.
Danny is a big middleweight and it’s always been a struggle for him. Do you see it being different this time around?
CHRIS ALGIERI: That’s really the idea to make it more comfortable. At this point a lot of the groundwork has been laid to make sure nutritionally he is very strong for fight week. He’s a big middleweight so on fight week it is going to be a hard cut. We want the cut to be hard but we want him to be big and strong on fight night and to be himself rather than be weight drained. We understand that going into fight week but that’s OK. We want him to be comfortable and feel positive, feel strong. The mental aspect of fight week is extremely important. If you have a big fight on Saturday night and you haven’t eaten a meal in three days and you’re in your sauna suit and you feel like a kitten and you’ve got a fight in a couple of days that isn’t really conducive to being at your best. I want him to be eating fight week, eating all week long, getting his workouts in, shedding the extra pounds and be ready to rock on fight night.
How do you think making the weight easier will translate to fight night?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I think it is going to help most with conditioning as we go throughout the rounds. He’s a big puncher so we want him to be snappy, to be able to move on his feet, to be able to react with his mind. That’s where nutrition really comes in.
On the night before the fight what meal is Danny looking forward to?
CHRIS ALGIERI: I haven’t spoken to him about that but I usually have pasta and meatballs. I don’t know what he likes but it’s going to be a meal where that includes carbohydrates and some protein in there and some good fats to make sure his blood sugar is leveled out. I have fighters that like to have Mexican food the night before, some like Italian, some like a big steak – it really depends on your preference but in terms of constitution of the meal I am going to look at it to make sure we have enough of each one. But in terms of what the food is, that really falls on him and we haven’t spoken about it and I don’t think he is thinking that far ahead yet.
What is the nutritional breakdown of what you want him to have?
CHRIS ALGIERI: We are going to look for some carbs and we are going to have some protein and we are going to have some fats to regulate blood sugar and sodium so he can retain water. There are so many meals that you can put together.
CHRIS ALGIERI: During fight week I am going to be with Danny every day making sure that he is eating the right foods for his workouts. I will be at all of his workouts with him. I’m going to be cutting my weight as well so he has someone to kind of mirror and to understand that someone else is going through the pain as well. After the weigh-in and fight day make sure he has his nutrition and stay hydrated so he can be the best version of himself come fight night.

Here's a short take on a decent little game for your Windows Phone. Funny Bounce is from AE Mobile who also developed Funny Jump. I mention this because Funny Bounce features the same tennis ball like character Roundy.
With Funny Bounce, Roundy is jumping his way up the screen from platform to platform, dodging dangers and seeing how high he can go. Yep, it's a jumper game that really isn't that much different from any other jumper game for your Windows Phone.
You control Roundy by tilting your phone left or right to control the direction of his (or is it her) jumps. Platforms can be stationary, move about the screen, fall apart when you land on them and shrink unexpectedly. Dangers include a pesky hedgehog, rocks, banana peels and a tornado. To help Roundy along you do have bonus items such as a helmet to protect him and a balloon to carry him up the screen.
Funny Bounce is your typical jumper game but there's something about Funny Bounce that gives the game a bit of appeal and slight addictive quality. Funny Bounce has nice graphics, good sound effects and the expressions on Roundy as he jumps up the screen or falls to end the game give the game a bit of character. And that might be the thing gives the game its appeal. I found myself coming back to the game to catch those expressions and along the way to see how far I could jump.
The only downside to the game is that in the Marketplace description there is mention of two game modes, bounce platform and silver coin mode. The version installed on my Windows Phone only had one game mode, bounce platform. This could be an oversight by the developer or a sign of what's in store with the next update to Funny Bounce.
All in all, I found Funny Bounce to be an entertaining jumper game for your Windows Phone. Funny Bounce is a nice game to pass short bits of time with and it has an intangible quality that draws you back to the game.
Funny Bounce is a free, ad supported game for your Windows Phone and you can find it here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Hundreds of Two Rivers Housing tenants will be enjoying a warmer – and cheaper – winter and spring, thanks to a new programme of home insulation.
The not-for-profit housing association is part-way through assessing more than 900 of its properties which have electric or solid fuel heating and a low energy rating, to see if they would benefit from cavity wall or loft insulation.
Nearly 200 properties have already been improved and many tenants have commented on how much warmer their homes now feel. They are also expected to benefit in their pockets, as projected energy savings come to nearly £800 per household over a three-year period.
This project has been possible due to funds from Scottish Power as part of an Energy Company Obligation which the ‘big six’ energy companies have signed up to. It is being delivered on Two Rivers’ behalf by Monmouth-based Evolve Home Energy Solutions.
Two Rivers Housing’s Project Manager Emma Field, said: “This is an excellent scheme. Not only will a huge number of our tenants feel much warmer in their homes, but they will also make significant savings on their heating bills. We are delighted with the results so far, and are really encouraged by the feedback from tenants who have already benefited.”
One of those tenants is Gordon Bourne of Cinderford, who recently had his walls insulated and is about to have his loft done too. “There’s been a vast difference and I noticed it straight away. I haven’t had a heating bill through yet but it can only reduce my costs. I used to have my heating on at number six, and now it’s down to one or two, and that’s before the loft has been insulated. It’s been amazing. Well worth having it done.”
Gary Randle, Operations Director of Evolve HES said: “We are delighted to be involved with this project and want to personally thank all residents for their support whilst we have been undertaking these improvement works. The insulation measures we believe make a real difference in helping support Two Rivers in their commitment of ensuring warm and comfortable homes as well as helping to support the environment.”
This project will continue over the next couple of months.

Drivers in Colorado are required to carry the minimum coverage level of auto insurance. Automobile insurance provides limited coverage for property damage and injury after a car accident. Bodily injury liability insurance covers the costs when an accident causes injury to another, including your passengers, other drivers, or pedestrians.
If you are injured in an accident caused by another driver, the other driver's insurance should cover your damages. Damages in a car accident generally include medical expenses and loss of income if you cannot work. However, the insurance coverage is limited and the driver may be personally liable for any losses beyond the insurance limits.
Minimum Insurance for Denver Drivers
Under Colorado law, the minimum amount of auto insurance liability coverage are as follows:
- $25,000 for bodily injury or death to any one person in an accident;
- $50,000 for bodily injury or death to all persons in any one accident; and
- $15,000 for property damage in any one accident.
Drivers can opt for higher levels of coverage and it is often recommended to carry more than the minimum, depending on the driver's situation. An injury accident can quickly exceed $25,000 in damages, especially if the injury victim suffers head, neck, or back injuries and is unable to return to work.
Bodily Injury Insurance Limits
For bodily injury insurance, the limits for any one person injured is coverage of up to $25,000 in damages. If two or more people are injured in the accident, the total coverage cannot exceed $50,000. The insurance company will not cover losses beyond the level of insurance coverage.
For example, Driver A is injured in a car accident caused by Driver B with minimum insurance coverage. Driver A's medical bills amount to $30,000. Driver B's insurance will cover $25,000 of the bills but Driver B will be responsible for paying the other $5,000.
If Driver A also has 2 other passengers in the car, and each suffers $30,000 in injuries (for a total of $90,000 in damages), Driver B's insurance will cover $50,000 of the total damages and Driver B will be responsible for paying the other $40,000.
What Does Bodily Injury Insurance Cover?
Bodily injury insurance covers the costs associated with an injury accident, including medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and funeral costs.
Medical expenses can include short-term injuries or long-term medical care. Similarly, loss of income can cover a short period when the individual is not able to return to work or the loss of earning potential for a permanent injury.

Demi Lovato revealed she was suicidal as early as age 7.
"The very first time I was suicidal was when I was seven. I had this fascination with death," she told Dr. Phil in an interview airing Tuesday. "I have experienced things that I have not talked about, and I don't know if I ever will talk about. But at seven, I knew that if I were to take my own life, that the pain would end."
The 25-year-old singer, who has been vocal about her struggles with depression and addiction, sat down with Dr. Phil and explained that she continued to feel that way for several years — even resorting to cutting herself.
She said the first time her suicidal thoughts returned when she was 12 and being bullied and she resorted to drugs and drinking.
"It came back several times -- when I was struggling with depression, my bipolar disorder. And there was a while there when my mom was afraid to wake me up in the mornings because she didn't know if she opened the door if I would be alive or not," Lovato said. "Because every time I cut, it got deeper and deeper."
Lovato said that she ultimately did not take her own life because she thought of her family and how it would make them feel.
"I care too much about my fmaily and my friends," she said. "I knew that I had a bigger purpose in life and I'm very very grateful that I'm still here today and didn't give into urges."
The "Cool for the Summer" singer added that she hopes she can be an example for other young girls who feel like she once felt.
Dr. Phil told Lovato that she would save "tens of thousands of lives" by doing the sit-down interview with him where she discussed her struggles.
Last week, Lovato shared that she was six years sober, though still has a tough time struggling with her addiction to food.
""I think the everlasting addiction in my life has been food. My eating disorder started when I was very young. That's something that I deal with on a daily basis," she explained. "It's kind of the last thing to go."
"I feel like I've conquered my addiction and alcoholism, where I don't even think about it anymore. But my struggles with my food issues are something that I still deal with," Lovato said on Dr. Phil. "But I'm growing, and I'm in a really good place today."
The full interview airs Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Development of New Coumarin-Based Profluorescent Substrates for Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes
Juvonen, R. O., Ahinko, M., Huuskonen, J., Raunio, H., & Pentikäinen, O. (2019). Development of New Coumarin-Based Profluorescent Substrates for Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes. Xenobiotica, 49(9), 1015-1024. https://doi.org/10.1080/00498254.2018.1530399
© Informa Healthcare, 2019.
1. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes constitute an essential xenobiotic metabolizing system that regulates the elimination of lipophilic compounds from the body. Convenient and affordable assays for CYP enzymes are important for assessing these metabolic pathways. 2. In this study, 10 novel profluorescent coumarin derivatives with various substitutions at carbons 3, 6 and 7 were developed. Molecular modeling indicated that 3- phenylcoumarin offers an excellent scaffold for the development of selective substrate compounds for various human CYP forms, as they could be metabolized to fluorescent 7-hydroxycoumarin derivatives. Oxidation of profluorescent coumarin derivatives to fluorescent metabolites by 13 important human liver xenobiotic-metabolizing CYP forms was determined by enzyme kinetic assays. 3. Four of the coumarin derivatives were converted to fluorescent metabolites by CYP1 family enzymes, with 6-methoxy-3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)coumarin being oxidized selectively by CYP1A2 in human liver microsomes. Another set of four compounds were metabolized by CYP2A6 and CYP1 enzymes. 7-Methoxy-3-(3- methoxyphenyl)coumarin was oxidized efficiently by CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 in a nonselective fashion. 4. The advantages of the novel substrates were 1) an excellent signal-to-background ratio, 2) selectivity for CYP1 forms, and 3) convenient multiwell plate measurement, allowing for precise determination of potential inhibitors of important human hepatic forms CYP1A2, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. ...

During the summer holidays, on a trip to Harrogate in Yorkshire, I was interested in photographing some of the local wildlife. It turns out, where I was staying, there was a large rabbit warren bustling with rabbits of all ages. I set up camp just above the entrances to the warren. The warren was incorporated into the side of a hill, which meant I was sitting directly above the underground tunnels. With no access to a tripod, I rested the camera on the ground above the largest entrance. I focused my lens and began to wait.
As I expected, rabbits began to emerge from beneath me. I was lucky enough to capture a few shots of the timid offspring.

A group of UN human rights experts on Friday called for the immediate release of three Iranian women given long jail terms for protesting laws compelling women to wear veils.
The trio were charged after a video posted online showed them handing out flowers on Tehran's metro on March 8, International Women's Day, according to a statement co-signed by five United Nations special rapporteurs and another expert.
The women -- named in the statement as Mojgan Keshavarz, Yasaman Aryani and Monireh Arabshahi -- were not wearing veils.
They "peacefully protested against Iran's compulsory veiling laws and advocated for a woman’s right to choose whether or not to wear the hijab," the statement said.
According to the experts, who are independent and do not speak for the world body, the women were detained in April, "forcibly disappeared" for up to two weeks, and denied access to a lawyer through the initial investigation.
"Their legal representatives were also reportedly prohibited from representing them at their trial," the statement said.
Keshavarz has been sentenced to 23 and a half years in prison while Aryani and Arabshahi were both given 16-year terms.
All were convicted of national security violations, spreading anti-state propaganda and "encouraging and providing for [moral] corruption and prostitution," the UN experts said.
Keshavarz was convicted of the additional crime of "insulting the sacred" .
"We call upon the Iranian authorities to quash these convictions and immediately release all human rights defenders who have been arbitrarily detained for their work in advocating women's rights," the statement said.
It was co-signed by Javaid Rehman, special rapporteur on rights in Iran, Dubravka Simonovic, UN expert on violence against women and Michel Forst, rapporteur on human rights defenders.
David Kaye, the expert on freedom of expression, Meskerem Geset Techane, who heads the UN working group on discrimination against women and girls, and Ahmed Shaheed, rapporteur on religious freedom, also signed the letter.

The Hawker Hurricane was the first British single-engine fighter and the first single wing aircraft with retractable landing gear as well as an enclosed cockpit and 8 machine guns. The Hurricane went into operational service in December 1937 with the RAF 111 Squadron. The Hurricane is usually over looked as a major player in the BoB because of the Spitfire but 80% of the 1,792 German aircraft shot down were because of the Hurricane. There were 14,533 Hurricanes produced in all variants.

Antler Theatre, C on Chambers Street, Dan Ainsworth, Daniela Pasquini, Edinburgh Fringe, Jasmine Woodcock-Stewart, Jess Stone, Louise Trigg, Nasi Voutsas, Richard Perryman, Theatre Review, This Way Up
It is one of those stock anecdotes which are shared amongst parents. You spend a small fortune on the latest must-have Christmas present for your toddler. On Christmas day, they will give this prestigious item a single uninterested glance, before becoming massively engrossed in the cardboard box which it came in. You can only laugh.
It is much the same with Antler Theatre’s “This Way Up,” which is presently established at C on Chamber’s Street. We find this play immediately discarding the big, flashy themes which it has unwrapped. It is a story about an arts graduate who ends up working in a call centre. Most of the artsy sorts in this Fringe audience will need no introduction to the heady issues of youth unemployment, falling living standards, and the devaluation of university education. Yet we will only ever fool around with the box – or boxes, as it happens. The play’s impressive premise will be consigned to a lonely corner.
For Antler Theatre, a pile of cardboard boxes can become anything. An entire working call centre or a hushed studio art gallery. A better music video for “Space Oddity” than the one which Bowie had made himself. There is some exhilarating clown material – punchy visual jokes in which boxes lurch to life by themselves and two men and a box are made into a giant.
The cast, incidentally, are not merely here to assist the boxes. Daniela Pasquini submits a well-judged performance as the disenchanted graduate Alex. Nasi Voutsas is as cute as a little squirrel in playing Alex’s friend-with-benefits Mark, who sings weedy songs with a ukulele accompaniment and fantasises about becoming an astronaut. There is a raging competition amongst the rest of the cast to be the star of the show, but Richard Perryman ultimately wins as the dopey party boy Bensy.
“This Way Up” was purportedly authored between the cast, although Pasquini is credited as the original creative force on the Stage website. The cast are graduates (ironically enough) from the Essex East 15 acting school, which has launched several of this year’s Fringe shows. Tychy has previously reviewed Luke Clarke’s “Sealand,” commending the comedy but deeming the more serious aspects of the play to be weak. If Jess(ica) Stone and Dan(iel) Ainsworth turn up in both “Sealand” and “This Way Up,” the latter play achieves a more sophisticated synthesis of the comic and the not-so-comic.
The play is a safe, happy place. Everything sad has been banished from the stage, and it is probably lurking about by the stage door, gloomily smoking a fag. Yet some echo of its melancholy footsteps still reaches us – the pacing may resonate faintly, even inaudibly, but we cannot wholly drown it in the laughter. Mark’s solution of floating off into space is not a solution. There are no viable careers waiting in call centres. Alex’s “art” is still only a hobby by the end of the play. Perhaps we have seen our own increasingly frightening lives being made safe and silly through the magic of these clowns, but our lives will be waiting as normal when the lights come back on.

Sinking Boat Saved In Avalon
This past Saturday afternoon a distress call was broadcasted on the radio. A small boat with one person on board was moving at wake speed when he hit a submerged object by ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) marker 401.
According to Sea Tow Avalon, Capt. Mike Rybas arrived on scene within five minutes of the report just in time to remove the man from the vessel before it sunk and capsized.
There is no word on what the submerged object was but the Coast Guard has placed a danger buoy in it’s location so that other boaters don’t hit it.
In lighter news, Sea Tow Avalon was able to right the boat and tow it slowly back to the docks. Once there she was pulled back on her trailer so that the damage would be accessed.
From the photos below it looks like the driveshaft had been completely ripped off. As bad as it might look this was still a success. No lives were taken and a boat can always be fixed. Thank you to Capt. Mike Rybas for his hard work!

West Ham have been hitting the back pages for all the wrong reasons over the last week and Sunday’s trip to take on Manchester City is unlikely to give them any reasons to cheer.
The east London side already occupy the bottom three going into the clash and it would be no surprise to see their goal difference take a battering against Sergio Aguero and Co.
City to net four or more
When the away side arrives at the Etihad Stadium at a whopping 25/1, it’s difficult to find much value on Manchester City no matter how hard you look. It’s a Premier League mismatch.
The Hammers have conceded an average of three goals per game in their last three outings, with Leicester hitting them for four, Brighton for three and Liverpool for two.
Goals look an inevitability on Sunday afternoon and it could just be a case of how many. Especially as the Citizens have won their last 10 in a row against West Ham – notching 35 goals in the process.
It may not be the biggest price of the weekend, but West Ham are a broken side and City to score over 3.5 goals looks very probable at Evens as they look to get back to winning ways.
Mahrez can do Sterling job
With Raheem Sterling ruled out through injury and Aguero too short in the betting, it’s worth looking in the direction of Riyad Mahrez when it comes to finding the first goalscorer on Sunday.
The former Leicester man has netted seven in the league this season and is the most likely candidate to replace Sterling. A constant danger, he will tie the West Ham defence in knots with his skill and trickery.
West Ham’s defence have conceded nine goals in their previous three games against lesser sides than City, so this weekend could be a painful one for away fans. Back Mahrez to score first at 4/1.
One step closer to dreaded drop
City and Liverpool are West Ham’s next two fixtures and after leading 2-0 and 3-1 at home to Brighton only to blow it, life in the Championship is looking more and more likely for the Hammers.
David Moyes’ side are 6/5 to go down and with six of their next seven games coming against sides occupying the current top 10, you’d expect them to be odds-on by the end of February.
Norwich already look certain for the drop and the betting agrees at 1/12, while Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton and Watford are also down there. But West Ham’s run looks too tough.

if you're going to use biblical allusions during a sex scene (which is always kind of risky) try to get them right - Moses parted the Red Sea, not the Nile. He was sent down the Nile in a basket of reeds as an infant, so it's easy to see where the confusion comes from, but he was trying to LEAVE Egypt at the time and the Red Sea is one of the borders - the Nile is in the middle.
I love all your fanfics so far - I have a tendency to only review when I spot an error, but don't let that mislead you. It's kind of strange how the only het fic I read now is all Meg Cabot stuff, but that's neither here nor there. You're a great author and you really catch the personalities of the characters. Keep up the good work.

I really liked this though I must admit I was kinda hating the way Jess was acting like a bitch when Rob had no choice, but to hide the Florida thing from her. I mean I would be nebby about it, but I would understand that it was confidential. I don't know how I would act if my boyfriend had to break up with me though. That would piss me off probably. Any who, since Jess apologized for being a bitch I guess I forgive her. hehe. :p Good story.

Just so you know, "Rob and I's" is really bad grammar. Although I'm not entirely sure what IS the grammatically correct way of saying it, "Rob's and my" certainly sounds better. Great story though, I loved it!

This is amazing


N. Korea Sets Terms for Return to Nuclear Talks
Thursday, March 9, 2006
In a rare meeting between U.S. and North Korean officials this week, North Korea pressed the United States to end efforts to stem alleged money-laundering and counterfeiting activities, warning that otherwise it would not return to the six-nation talks on its nuclear programs.
Li Gun, the senior North Korean official at the meeting, made four requests, according to a U.S. official familiar with the talks. They included demanding that the United States remove what he called "financial sanctions," form a joint U.S.-North Korean task force to examine the counterfeiting concerns, give North Korea access to the U.S. banking system, and provide North Korea with technical help on identifying counterfeit bills.
"We cannot go into the six-party talks with this hat over our head," the official quoted Li as saying.
The U.S. officials viewed the meeting as only a briefing, not a negotiation, and rejected any link between Treasury Department actions to thwart alleged counterfeiting and the six-party talks. D. Kathleen Stephens, the principal deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asia, opened the meeting, but the briefing was led by Daniel Glaser, a deputy assistant Treasury secretary.
The nearly three-hour meeting was held Tuesday in New York at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. It came as North Korea rattled nerves in Asia yesterday with a missile test, and as a senior Republican lawmaker accused the White House of giving "exceedingly constrained options to our negotiators" and urged a more creative approach, including direct talks with Pyongyang.
"The six-party process is beginning to appear moribund," declared Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa), chairman of the House International Relations subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific. "It's time for the United States to lead," he said, rather than "indebting us to the diplomacy of countries that may have different interests."
The nuclear talks -- which include China, Japan, South Korea and Russia -- have been on hiatus since November because of North Korean distress over the Treasury Department investigation. In September -- just as the six-party talks reached a breakthrough agreement in which North Korea said it would give up its nuclear programs in exchange for aid, security assurances and eventual normalization of relations -- the Treasury designated a Macao bank as acting as a front for North Korean counterfeiting operations.
The Treasury action had wide repercussions, forcing all U.S. banks to cut off correspondent-banking relations with Macao's Banco Delta Asia -- and leading many banks around the world to curtail dealings with North Korea to avoid any similar taint. "BDA was designated because its facilitation of North Korean illicit financial activity presents an unacceptable risk to the U.S. financial system," Glaser said in a statement issued after the meeting.
The Treasury Department has alleged that senior officials at Banco Delta Asia accepted large deposits of cash, including counterfeit money, and agreed to place it in circulation. Treasury officials also alleged that the bank accepted multimillion-dollar wire transfers from North Korean front companies that were involved in criminal activities.
At the meeting, Li said there is no evidence of illicit activity by North Korea. Li noted that U.S. credit cards cannot be used in North Korea, forcing U.S. diplomats to enter the country with large amounts of cash. He suggested that counterfeit money had entered North Korea through this route.
Despite Li's official denials, Chinese officials have privately told U.S. officials that North Korea has admitted that some individuals had been involved in such activities in the past.
U.S. officials have repeatedly denied any link between the Treasury action and the nuclear talks, saying the government in Pyongyang is trying to use the issue as a way to start a dialogue with the United States outside the six-party framework. Li began the session Tuesday by saying that North Korea was upset that it had to be called a briefing rather than a bilateral negotiation.
The North Koreans had canceled a session scheduled in December over the semantic dispute.
"This is not a U.S.-North Korea issue," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said yesterday. "This is a matter of getting back to the six-party talks."
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher R. Hill, who played a key role in negotiating the September agreement, said on Capitol Hill yesterday that the United States is ready to resume the six-nation talks on implementing the agreement "without conditions."
Leach said the case for allowing Hill to go to Pyongyang "to test the boundaries -- and push the implementation -- of the joint statement is compelling." He also said the United States and North Korea should consider establishing liaison offices in each other's capitals. "There is clearly a problem of communication between our two governments," he said.


First Spin: 2018 Nissan Leaf
As the first mass-market electric car to be sold by a major manufacturer, the original Nissan Leaf was a landmark vehicle. And it only gets better with its 2018 redesign.
As proved by the hugely successful Toyota Prius vs. other hybrid competitors of the time, buyers of electrified vehicles tend to lean toward those with distinctive styling, presumably to convey to others their “green” intentions. And that — perhaps as much as aerodynamics — likely influenced the somewhat polarizing appearance of the original Leaf that debuted for the 2011 model year.
But with progressively more all-electric competitors coming to the market, that “polarizing appearance” may have turned some prospective buyers toward other electric cars. So less-controversial styling is perhaps the most notable change to the second-generation Leaf, which goes on sale in late January.
But there are certainly others.
The greatest drawback to electric vehicles has long been their limited driving range between charges. But as originally predicted, advancements in battery technology have considerably improved range while driving down costs, and that combination stands as the second-most notable change reflected in the latest Leaf.
Similar advances in technology have also made high-tech safety and convenience features more common in popularly priced cars, and those, too, are a major element of the redesign.
Guide to Electric Vehicle Charging
While still distinctive, the overall look of the new Leaf is much more mainstream. While some cues were carried over – including the general shape – the controversial “Guppy” front end has given way to Nissan’s corporate V-Motion theme, and in back, boomerang taillights sit beneath a floating roofline, both likewise elements of the company’s latest styling trends.
While the original Leaf’s 73-mile EPA range estimate was a landmark achievement in its day, even the 107-mile range offered on the latest “big battery” versions was falling short of that offered by current rivals. But instead of trying to leapfrog to the head of the class, Nissan instead chose to fill a range “gap” between the bulk of cars in the popularly priced EV market – which hover in the 110- to 125-mile arena – and the top-dog Chevrolet Bolt EV, which comes in at 238.
As such, the 2018 Leaf has an estimated range of 150 miles, though Nissan says a version with a larger battery will later be made available that offers about 200 miles of range. Yet despite this greater range – and an increase in standard equipment – the base price of the Leaf has dropped by about $700 to $30,885 including destination.
Among newly added standard features on the base S model are forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and Leaf’s new e-Pedal driving mode. We found the latter to be really neat; it allows you to increase the regenerative braking effort to the point it essentially allows for one-pedal driving, as simply lifting off the throttle slows the vehicle enough that you rarely need to hit the brake pedal in normal driving. Options include a Level 3 quick-charge port with 120/240-volt charge cable and an All Weather Package with heated front seats/steering wheel/mirrors.
Features added on the midline $33,385 SV include a Level 3 quick-charge port, 7-inch touchscreen, NissanConnect telematics with navigation system, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto functionality. Optional are the All Weather Package along with a Technology Package, which includes 8-way power driver seat with lumbar adjustment, auto-dimming inside mirror, Homelink garage-door opener, 120/240-volt charge cable, blind-spot and rear-cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, and pedestrian detection added to the automatic emergency braking system. Also available is “semi-autonomous” ProPilot Assist, which helps keep the Leaf in its lane and maintains a set following distance from the car ahead.
Kia Soul EV Long-term Update #5: Breaking the 3-cents-per-mile Barrier
The top-line $37,095 SL comes with most of those features plus leather upholstery and a 360-degree camera, with an optional Technology Package bringing the automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, and ProPilot Assist.
A notable part of the NissanConnect telematics system that’s standard on SV and SL is the ability to connect to your vehicle through your smartphone. This allows you to remotely check battery state-of-charge, lock and unlock the doors, turn on the heat, and find your car in a crowded parking lot.
Although Nissan says it takes about 35 hours to fully recharge the Leaf’s 40 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery off a Level 1 (120-volt) outlet, that time can be cut to about 7.5 hours on Level 2 (240-volt). And with the available 120/240-volt charging cable, you no longer need a “hard wired” Level 2 charger in your home; you can simply plug the cable into a 240-volt dryer outlet. On a Level 3 “fast charger,” Nissan says you can recover 88 miles of range in just 30 minutes.
One element of the new design is a motor with 37 percent more power, now rated at 147 horsepower. It gives the Leaf a fairly strong full-throttle jump off the line along with decent passing power. And as in most electric vehicles, response to throttle inputs in virtually instantaneous, something that makes them especially well suited to slice-and-dice city driving. Ride quality is also good, as is handling, making the Leaf quite dynamically capable.
Inside, thin padding covers the door tops and armrests, but hard plastic dominates. Fortunately, the two-tone color scheme of our test SL models combined with the gloss black and carbon-fiber-like trim to create a visibly pleasing environment. Interior storage is good rather than great, with a large (but inconveniently deep) glovebox, small console box, two console cupholders, a small forward console tray under 12-volt/Aux/USB plugs (oddly, only one USB), and door map pockets with cupholders. Visibility is somewhat restricted to the front and rear corners due to thick roof pillars, but it’s good to the sides. However, although the sunvisor extends when swung to the side, it still leaves the rear quarter of the side window uncovered.
The base S doesn’t get a touchscreen, but it’s the only model to offer a CD player. On SV and SL, the infotainment system hosts a 7-inch touchscreen, volume and tuning knobs, and easy-to-reach virtual buttons that include numerous handy station pre-selects. Climate controls consist of repetitive-step pushbuttons for temperature/fan/mode, and while they’re not as convenient to use as rotary knobs, they’re easy to reach. Physical buttons activate the heated seats and steering wheel.
The driver is afforded good headroom but rather limited legroom, and the steering wheel only tilts; it doesn’t telescope. In back, even 6-footers should find sufficient space, though legroom may get tight if the seat ahead is pushed far back.
The rear cargo area is fairly deep (with a 10-inch liftover) and large (Nissan claims a spacious 26.3 cubic feet). But though the rear seat backs fold to expand the area, they rest a good foot above the level of the cargo floor, so you can’t just slide large items forward.
Although Nissan’s Leaf is far and away the most popular electric vehicle in the U.S. and probably the best known, it no longer has the “mainstream” segment virtually to itself. Numerous competitors have sprouted up in recent years, but most, including the Ford Focus Electric, Hyundai Ioniq Electric, Kia Soul EV, and Volkswagen e-Golf — share their bodies with gas or hybrid counterparts; only the Chevrolet Bolt and upcoming Tesla Model 3 have a distinct “electric-only” look like the Leaf. Of course, that’s not the Leaf’s only selling point, but it may be a requirement – and the most prominent 2018 improvement – for those who want their EV to stand out in a crowd.
