Involvement of ERK and JNK pathways in IFN-γ-induced B7-DC expression on tumor cells. B7-DC on tumor cells was demonstrated to promote tumor immunity; however, the precise mechanism responsible for the aberrant B7-DC expression remains unknown. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) can induce B7-DC expression on macrophages and has been shown to regulate anti-tumor immunity by various mechanisms. This study was designed to investigate the relationship of IFN-γ and B7-DC on tumor cells and further explored the signal transduction pathways involved. RT-PCR and flow cytometry were used for the analysis of B7-DC expression on various tumor cells. The phosphorylation of p38, ERK1/2, JNK, Akt, and JAK2 was determined by Western blot. IFN-γ markedly up-regulated B7-DC expression on various tumor cells and resulted in the phosphorylation of JAK2, JNK, ERK, p38, and Akt. Inhibition of ERK or JNK pathway significantly decreased IFN-c-induced B7-DC expression, whereas inhibition of phosphorylation of Akt, p38, and JAK2 had very little effect on IFN-γ-induced B7-DC expression. Our findings demonstrate that the pretreatment of tumor cells with IFN-γ enhances B7-DC expression through ERK and JNK pathways.

F or at least two decades I have been an active stakeholder with the B-schools. And I have always wondered how B-schools become elitist and irrelevant to its mission of producing entrepreneurs, business leaders and shapers of the economy. The selection process, curriculum, quality of faculty, pedagogy and the farce called placement are all oriented towards producing clerks for the new East India Company. We have a B-school "Varna Dharma". This operates through the placement power and the alumni patronage. To start with, B-schools are now accessible to only the engineers and those who can crack the CAT code through expensive coaching classes, which cracks the selection code -- a.k.a 3 Idiots. There is very little testing or verification of who would become a better business leader.

Strahan To Join ‘Good Morning America’ Part Time NEW YORK (AP) — Talk show host and former football star Michael Strahan is expected to soon join the cast of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” at least on a part-time basis. A person with knowledge of the negotiations who requested anonymity because the deal hasn’t been completed said Tuesday that Strahan will work semi-regularly during the show’s first hour. Strahan continues as host of the daytime talker “Live with Kelly and Michael.” The top-rated morning news show has lost two male cast members in the past four months: Sam Champion to The Weather Channel and Josh Elliott to NBC Sports, the latter in a deal expected to be formally announced Wednesday. Talks with Strahan reportedly predate Elliott’s departure, announced on Sunday.

Revision of the Australian Wet Tropics endemic rainbowfish genus Cairnsichthys (Atheriniformes: Melanotaeniidae), with description of a new species. The freshwater melanotaeniid genus Cairnsichthys is endemic to a relatively small area of specialised habitat within the Wet Tropics bioregion of north-eastern Queensland, Australia. It was previously considered as monotypic, including only a single species, C. rhombosomoides (Nichols Raven, 1928). The recent discovery of an apparently-isolated population in the Daintree rainforest, approximately 120 km north of the known range extent, prompted a detailed investigation of its taxonomic status using a combined lines of evidence approach. We provide compelling evidence from multiple nuclear genetic markers (52 allozyme loci), mitochondrial DNA sequence data (1141 bp cytochrome b) and morphology (examination of a suite of 38 morphometric and meristic characters) that supports north-south splitting of C. rhombosomoides. Accordingly, we describe the northern population as a distinct species, C. bitaeniatus sp. nov., on the basis of 25 specimens, 34.7-65.6 mm SL. The new species differs morphologically primarily by having a more slender and narrow shape, featuring a flatter, straighter predorsal profile and shorter second dorsal fin base; possession of slightly smaller scales, reflected in higher counts of lateral scales and predorsal scales; typically more vertebrae; and colour differences including a more robust, short black stripe across the upper operculum, a pronounced yellow patch on the anteroventral body and usually a more conspicuous second dark stripe on the lower body, with adult males generally having yellowish compared to reddish fins. We also provide a generic diagnosis for Cairnsichthys and a redescription of C. rhombosomoides. Information on the known distribution, habitats and conservation status of species in the genus is summarised, the new species being of particular concern as a narrow range endemic with specific environmental requirements.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to the World Series, and Enrique Hernandez nearly carried them there single-handedly in Game 5 against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday night (LAD 11, CHC 1). Hernandez, a versatile utility man who played seven positions in 2017, smacked three home runs in Game 5 win. He hit a solo home run off Jose Quintana in the first inning, a grand slam off Hector Rondon in the third inning, and a two-run home run against Mike Montgomery in the ninth inning. Here's video of Hernandez's three homers: Splash! @kikehndez puts his name in the record books with THREE homers. pic.twitter.com/BKUtuXqYvn — MLB (@MLB) October 20, 2017 Hernandez went 3 for 4 with 7 RBI in Game 5. The 7 RBI are a new LCS record. He is also the 10th player to hit three home runs in a single postseason game, and the second to do it this postseason. Here's the list: It is worth noting Hernandez's historic three-homer postseason game comes after a very difficult year, personally. Last year his father battled cancer and his grandfather died, and this year his native Puerto Rico was devastated by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Having a historic game in the postseason is one thing. Being able to do with your father in the stands makes it that much more special.

The Real Jersey Chasers Of The Buffalo Sabres Invade MSG Premise of Video: 3-4 Buffalo Sabres jersey chasers decide it’s time for a road trip to MSG to see their boys take on the Rangers in a meaningless December tilt that’ll have no bearing on the playoffs or national security or whether we ever defeat the Taliban. The ladies decide to wear eye black (yellow) and helmets with spinning lights on top. Climax of Video: 1:15 mark. You have to see Rangers fan with a message and hand gesture for the ladies as only a true New Yorker can do. He finishes off his gesture with “….(something…something) bitch.” Conclusion: The ladies finished off the night by taunting Rangers fans with their awful Buffalo accents and lusting after Ryan Miller while he signed autographs. Some lucky guy is going to hit the wife lottery when he ends up with any of these chasers.

Tag Archives: project Creating good user experiences for apps inside messaging platforms poses a relatively new design challenge. When moving from desktop web to mobile interfaces, developers have had to rethink interaction design to work around a constrained screen size, a new set of input gestures and unreliable network connections. Like our tiny touchscreens, messaging platforms also shake up the types of input that apps can accept, change designers’ canvas size, and demand a different set of assumptions about how users communicate. Have you ever read a post that has left you feeling wholly inadequate because you know you can’t live up to the high standards they lay out? Well, that is how I feel when I read posts about how much to charge my clients. When Smashing Magazine asked me to write an article sharing my thoughts on pricing my services, I agreed without much thought. But now I sit down to write it, and I’m faced with a conundrum. Component-based libraries or frameworks such as Vue have given us the wonderful ability to create reusable components to be spread throughout their respective application, ensuring that they are consistent, and (hopefully) simplifying how they are used. In particular, form inputs tend to have plenty of complexity that you’d want to hide in a component, such as custom designs, labels, validation, help messages, and making sure each of these pieces are in the correct order so that they render correctly. Do you ever wish you had a time machine? I certainly do, but not for the usual reasons. I want a time machine so I can go back and have a frank conversation with my younger self. I’ll let you in on a bit of a secret: My younger self was an idiot! I have been working on the web for over 22 years now, and I feel like I wasted so many of those years. Industries often experience evolution less as slow and steady progress than as revolutionary shifts in modality that change best practices and methodologies seemingly overnight. This is most definitely true for front-end web development. Our industry thrives on constant, aggressive development, and new technologies emerge on a regular basis that change the way we do things in fundamental ways. CRO makes big promises. But the way people get to those 300% lifts in conversions is by being organized. Otherwise, you find yourself in the position that a lot of marketers do: you do a test, build on the result, wait a while, do another test, wait a while… meanwhile, the big jumps in conversions, leads and revenue never really seem to manifest. That’s because only a structured approach can get you in position to make the best use of your testing time and budget. This isn’t something you want to be doing by the seat of your pants. In… Fuse is a toolkit for creating apps that run on both iOS and Android devices. It enables you to create apps using UX Markup, an XML-based language. But unlike the components in React Native and NativeScript, Fuse is not only used to describe the UI and layout; you can also use it to add effects and animation. Styles are described by adding attributes such as Color and Margin to the various elements. Business logic is written using JavaScript. Later on, we’ll see how all of these components are combined to build a truly native app. With GraphQL, FQL, and IndexedDB2, we have new tools at our fingertips that allow us to build products that are not only more flexible but also faster. With this week’s Web Development Reading List, we’ll dive a bit deeper into these promising technologies and combine this with thoughts about the openness of the internet, ethical choices, and building inclusive products. So without further ado, let’s get started! Further Reading on SmashingMag: The WAI Forward How To Design Better Buttons 4 Effective Strategies To Estimate Time For Your Design Projects News Chrome 57 just hit stable, now the Chrome developer team announced Chrome 58 beta. What would life be without surprises? Pretty plain, wouldn’t you agree? Today, we are happy to announce a freebie that bubbles over with its friendly optimistic spirit, bound to sprinkle some unexpected sparks of delight into your projects: Ballicons 3. If that name rings a bell, well, it’s the third iteration of the previous Ballicons icon set created by the folks at Pixel Buddha. This icon set covers a vibrant potpourri of subjects, 30 icons ranging from nature, travel and leisure motifs to tech and office. Typography is a primary element of composition. Being a designer, I pay a lot of attention to its quality. Operating Photoshop is easy for me; however, to level up my skills, I am always learning to work with letters, using my hands, without any computer programs. The first time I took a calligraphy course was about a year ago, and the decision was quite hard. I was sure that it would be painstaking and that I would need excellent handwriting to learn this art.

I'm seeing all these black folks walk around with Obama "change" t-shirts on, and I can't do nothing but laugh and shake my head. What do black people think he's going to do? write all black folks a million dollar check or something? ^^^what does this have to do with anything....but like Knowledge said he'll make history for being the first black man (that's if you don't count the presidents with a lil blackness in them biologically) to win the presidency............that's about it............I will say that one thing that he could do is to appoint a couple of people to the supreme court to get rid of the pathetic 3 strike laws passed by the clinton administration......but we'll have to wait and see......

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 I wanted to start my own blog, but my mom says I have to wait til I am four. So, I am taking over while she gets her act together... wahhhh I ride my bike so much that I am burnt out...wahhhh...poor me, I just get to have non-stop fun and ride whenever I want...boo hooo... I made up a new song. I goes, "Fuck FUCK fuck fuck FUCK FUCK fuck fuck!!!" I mostly just sing it in the car. I can't see my mom's face, but I think she tries really hard not to laugh when I sing it. She probably thinks if she ignores it, the novelty will wear off. She's wrong. I love bad words. And Transformers. And Scooby Doo. And if she thinks I am eating those apple wedges with the skin still on, she is crazy... my friend's mom cuts the skin off. WTF? Okay...going to go destroy some pancakes and spill my juice on the rug. Sunday, April 27, 2008 Sitting in my car, drinking a Dr. Pepper (guilty pleasure) and eating a soft pretzel, the word is kind of slinking around in my head: burnout...burnout...burnout... There was something different about this ride and this feeling & I suspect it has been creeping up on me for a while... and today, it sort of struck me in the gut...my tired, aching gut... burnout. Not like, "Oh, I've been training and racing and riding so hard blah blah blah..." (cause I haven't...I mean, I ride every chance I get without much regard to my mood or how I am feeling...it's always, "Can I go? Okay, then I am going...Goodbye..." ) The only "structure" I follow is a long-ish ride midweek, a recovery ride (which I usually end up pushing harder than intended) on Thursday, a race or hard ride on the weekend, maybe commute to work...whatever I can, however, with whomever. No, it's more like, "Oh, I've been in constant motion and spreading myself thin and losing patience rapidly with pretty much everything and everyone around me..." That kind of burnout. So, I am thinking about the morning & the day...how it unfolded. Woke up in my son's bed (well, he wormed his way into mine sometime during the night...and the bed became infinitely smaller, so I was like, "Fuck it, that kid has the comfiest bed in the house in the quietest room in the house...Nitey nite folks...")... Ate some cereal (I have not been treating my own nutrition with the respect it deserves). Gathered gear, loaded bikes, cut my hand in the process...scrambled to get my act together. Drove to French Creek, alone with my thoughts and senseless...despair??? Wow, what is this gloom hanging over me? Ewww, get me to the trails, motherfucker! In the parking lot, all my friends were excited to ride & get the adventure started. In spite of smiles and Max Brenner chocolate bestowed upon me by ever-thoughtful Cati, my lofty aspirations of two laps began to sink. And sink. Everyone was chirpy and talkative...I struggled to warm up, adjust, acclimate. My riding? Fine. Adequate. Strong enough. After one lap, a hapless attempt to locate Cati's family (who struck out to mine the beginner course for Emily & Becky), we tooled around trying to stay warm...debating lap two. Mentally, I was cooked. I have never know myself to sort of roll over, admit defeat...especially in the company of friends enthusiastic to hit it hard, play some more...soak up the trails, enjoy the day... Nothing could rally me. No amount of sincere encouragement or smartass ribbing could spark me... Done. Sorry guys. Done. And that I is how I ended up, in the warmth of my FJ Cocoon, drinking Dr. Pepper, reflecting on carefully chosen words of insight about anxiety and pressure and stress... Which led to me to the best solution I could manage for the day... Get in bed, still grimy and salty, not yet showered (gross, indeed...I mean, if you're going for low, may as well go for broke). After 90 solid minutes of anxious, crappy nap dreams, I woke up disoriented and even less rested. Hungry. Testy. Showered, stripped my bed, headed to the Perna's for chicken soup. I have a simple plan for the week (or however long it takes to crawl out of my little slump): Ride how I want, if I even want to. Maybe even bag Wawayanda. Doesn't matter...got my eye on cross. Even now. Especially now. Saturday, April 26, 2008 After hastily putting my son to bed last night, I scrambled to gather a load of laundry while inhaling a Jello pudding Snack (tapioca...seriously). "Mommmm...gotta poop gotta pee!!" Drop everything...the Prince has summoned me. Flip on the lights, assist the Prince (and trust me, I am definitely not the Queen...I am the Help, the minion...especially at this hour of the day)... He wants to make small talk, he wants to be entertained... It always begins with him gesturing me to have a seat, oh...how about there, on the cold tile floor? "So, mom, how are you doing?" the exchange begins, and typically I find these opening lines incredibly endearing. Tonight, however, not so much... I answer flatly, "Actually, your Highness, I am running on empty. I want to take a bath, a Benadryl...or 3...and go to bed. Tapped out. Done for the day. Thanks for asking." So, the Prince is on his throne...tapping his knees, doing his business...and I sit there, keeping his Majesty company... And I am doing the worst thing possible, I am rushing him along..."Are you finished? I think you're finished..." Like, who am I to determine whether the Kid is done POOPING?! I am creating issues that will creep up in the most unlikely scenarios another ten or fifteen years from now...("It's not my bong, mom, I swear..."). Great. Why am I hurrying him along? So I can watch Tivo'd Lost? A show I can't stand anyway? I open the cabinet beneath the sink, looking for the Toddler Butt Wipes (it is a glamorous life, I tell you) and the King wails...his face is fiery and red, tears spring from his eyes, he is screaming Bloody Freaking Murder. As he is on the potty, I assume he is having a problem. So, still holding the cabinet open, I crouch down to offer some words of calm, to pat his shoulder or head, I don't know... And his head is like shaking, he is freaking out and with his other hand, he points all trembly to his FINGER STUCK IN THE OPEN FUCKING CABINET DOOR. "Oh my god, I am so sorry...so sorry, buddy...let me see it..." So his pitiful little index finger is all purple and white and what has been maybe three seconds feels an awful lot like three hundred HOURS...I grab a clean wipe and wet it with cold water, place it on his poor little finger and he is looking at me like, "Dude, I know you've had a rough night, but could you please pay attention to what your doing??" Then, he is further disturbed by the fact that he can see the tip of his finger, with the wipe wrapped around it...so I go all origami on him and fold the wipe into this complicated little finger tent/bandage thingie, which is great cause he reasons it won't hurt anymore if he can't see it. And I am like, "How bout a bandaid?" To which he replies, disgustedly,"Mom, it's not actually a booboo." So, I figure, okay, fine...if this baby wipe does the trick, great...can we all go to bed now? But, first, let me collect my Mom of the Year award...I am overdue. Friday, April 25, 2008 So this evening I was reminded what it feels like to crash with a little speed...I did a marvelous endo tearing up a sharp turn at Dtown...knocked me silly. Cati was like, "Awwww, you looked like when a little kid takes a tumble when they're skiing!," as she literally hoisted my bike from the brambles and helped me to my feet. I think after flying over the bars, I finally mastered that ridiculous shoulder roll I never got in karate...I was the only kid who couldn't do it. My brother earned waaaay more belts than I did (umm, actually, I didn't earn any). My dad warned me not to get cocky on the new bike. I don't think I was being cocky...maybe a little over-confident on a bike I am still trying to dial in. In any case, there I was sailing over the bars, taking clumps of dirt with me as I shoved my body into the ground shoulder-first. It happens...I needed that reminder. A warning. Riding home, only one car passed me the entire length of Sunset Hollow...weird. Daytime wasn't really over, but the sunshine was mostly gone. I turned on my light and my Ipod as I turned onto the last real climb and soft pedaled. All the way home. My grand aspirations for a killer lasagna fell flat. I don't even care for lasagna...maybe it will taste better tomorrow (there is plenty left over, I swear). One in the morning. Aching shoulder, a bowl of cereal, and another attempt at sleep. Wednesday, April 23, 2008 Today I played Roadie. I wore bib shorts and my sleeveless Beans jersey (circa 2006). In my pocket was a pack of Extreme Beans (watermelon). I made myself get in the drops. I made myself stick to a wheel (but, that took a while). I made myself fly down hill. I made myself stay seated for the nasties. The Roadie Game is fun. Did you hear you hear me? I just said the Roadie Game is fun. Sunday, April 20, 2008 3,2,1 GO! Huff puff blahhhhhh... There goes Cati. There goes Sarah. There goes Wendy. There goes Colin... Fuuuuuck. Into the woods, down down...up up up the waterbars. Huff puff blahhhh...why do I feel so crappy? Am I moving? Plotting my escape, don't want to do this...not having any fun...DNF DNF DNF!! (suddenly the DNF chant in my head sounds almost victorious). Run to the bike, run to the bike. Here comes Ryan...hot on my heels. Wow, his breathing is worse than mine...I am ahead of Colin & Ryan and I are pacing each other. There is a crappy, muddy bog...a woman loses her shoe. Uphill. "Come on, Ryan, we are almost (gasp, huff puff) there!!" Transition 1: How do I untie my shoes? The girls are lonnng gone, I am left with the last of my teammates & he is right there, getting ready to ride. Beat him to the woods, then he passes me on the descent...damn! For the entire first lap, I keep Allison & Colin in sight...catch Allison, go off course, catch up once more...then she drops me. She drops me hard. One more thankless lap on the bike. I know I am moving slooooow...I know because I start spotting critters...oh, look at the little box turtle. Oh, check out that snake...I watch Allison & Colin disappear over the crest of the last hill. Long gone. Transition 2: BP shouts that Wendy is a minute ahead. There aren't many bikes in the transition. My shoes! My shoes...it is so hard to unclip my salty helmet strap! Trudging up the hill, crampity-cramp cramp in my calves...now what do I do? Walk? Stretch? Curl up in a ball and squeeze my eyes shut? I run...my legs come around...my stride opens up a tiny bit and my breath eases just enough. There is Colin...I want to catch him, I want to beat him... We start to pace each other a little...it's really weird to run beside someone I am used to riding with. Wait, we're running? This is goofy. A "real" runner blazes past, I shrug...let's go, let's get this over with. Colin slows and wants to walk. "Come on!" I pick up the pace. I have to. We near the final gravel crappioso climb...I see BP (my dad! my dad!! Gotta run fast for my dad!!) and start my pathetic sprint...someone is breathing down my neck. There are 3 of us now and I won't let them pass. Colin & I sprint (wait, that was a sprint, right?) for the finish and I barely cross the line first. 1:53:07 After, "Good job! Way to go! You rocked," to all my friends and slayers, I plead, "Do not let me return next year." That was a long-ass account of an event I didn't have any love for. Every Bean made it the podium (even me, although I think there were only two in my age group anyway). Cati blew me away...talk about tenacity. Jesus, she was second woman overall. That is no joke. I love her support crew, Billy & Emily...they cheer loudly & enthusiastically. They have cold water at the finish! I love that every race brings more and more familiar and friendly faces...there is no shortage of "How is it going?" or "Good Luck" sentiments. I love completing something out of my realm, out of my comfort zone, especially since I wholeheartedly wanted to quit. Wanted to quit not two miles into it. Aftermath: Didn't make it through Sunday dinner...just felt mopey & physically ill. Dehydrated, throbbing headache. wah wah wah. Just wanted to crawl into bed and turn off the world. So, I kinda did... (and despite what you may think, I did get enough sleep last night...I spent a lovely few hours at a barbecue with an unlikely group of friends...I ate no junk and drank one glass of white wine...can't blame my performance on that). Did the entire week swallow me up and spit me back out at Hibernia? Yeah, perhaps... I am over it. 16 hard miles is 16 hard miles. Long-ass post, indeed. This week: Better Sleep. Less Stress. Thursday, April 17, 2008 Go outside right now. Steal one minute because it is such a perfect day. We are packed up & ready to meet Kristin & her little ones at Marsh Creek for exploration! ...Liz B, I did not forget that your birthday was two days ago...I just forgot to wish you a happy one! Second time up the "shitty little climb" (as a spectator calls it out to me, thanks...), I am nearly finished lap two. Two clean laps down. I am doing it. Lap Three: More splashy splash... More tricky corners and...yes, I believe those roots are just alittle bit more exposed...whoops, yes. Confirmed. That was close... One more time up the "shitty little climb" (which, truthfully, is not shitty at all)...and it's fun fun fun as I wrap up my first race as an ELITE. You know, I heard my name out there all over the place...what a huge part that played in my motivation today. Just wanted to tear it up and not let anyone down. I've heard several people muse, "You don't move up to expert/elite if you're slow..." I am tired of hearing myself say, "Yeah, I had to move up cause I won my class last year, mostly due to attendance blah blah blah..." I raced the whole series, I finished every race, and I even won a few at the tail end of the season...so, yeah, I kinda sorta had to move up...winning the jersey was certainly the impetus, no kidding... But, how cool is it that I was lining up with the fastest women in our series? Saturday, April 12, 2008 Big day tomorrow... Looking forward to seeing everyone & cheering on the Sport racers/friends as they finish up their race (sigh). I am feeling antsy, nervous, but mostly excited. I love this! Right? Tomorrow I get to race... Been happy with the way I've been riding, though there is always room for improvement... Been riding as much as I can, as best as I can...feeling strong and even capable. So, the rest is sort of beyond my control & that is okay. There are chocolate poptarts in the cabinet. I better finish this race. Friday, April 11, 2008 You never know what will turn up on "shuffle"...so there I was, flying down Skelp Level Road, sleeveless jersey and shorts (!)...sweaty & salt-crusted after a friendly ride with Cati. and here comes the intro with the unmistakable horns... Seventy degrees... I have never seen Downingtown so pretty (yes, wasteland that it is)...buttercups, daffodils, green moss...weird. The day ended with me opening the bedroom window before passing out for nearly seven restful, uninterrupted hours of sleep. Seven. Wednesday, April 9, 2008 Thank you Fitzy for a downright gleeful ride & excellent pace (shattered knee, my ass! jeez)...so glad we ran into you. Never know who you'll run into or tag along with in the woods...another reason why I love love love to ride! Thank you Dad, Jeff, Allen, & Colin for the great company & constant motivation... Thank you, Cool Kids, for extending an invite that I sadly declined for not only a ride, but beer, nachos, & fish tacos (15 miles deep when we finally caught up at the covered bridge, one bottle & nearly drained...no excuses, there will be a next time for sure)... Thank you, Fair Hill, for an endless supply of amazing trails and beautiful springtime scenery (seriously, so much green around every turn...just lovely, just a relief to know long days and warm weather are indeed imminent)... I know when I close my eyes tonight, it will be trails, trails, trails...flying, rolling, weaving, & leaning into every corner... Sigh. Sunday, April 6, 2008 He grabbed the Boston Creme donut immediately He had a better idea for the pinata, but it involved a blindfold and bikes He showed up at his big sister's bike race...with his band! She thought I was much younger! He baked a cake! They played great music! We won the award for best pit (although I don't know that we had any competition) I will break it down pretty simply: Best birthday... It doesn't matter that I ate too much coconut cake and drank too much beer. It doesn't matter that I only rode three laps (three mostly clean laps). It doesn't matter that one of the cool kids totally witnessed my hideously clumsy dive into a log on lap #3...well, he kind of assisted...but, his smile at the end of the race more than made up for it. It doesn't matter that I forgot to put my lucky Jackie Phelan $2o bill in my jersey...the sun came out anyway. It doesn't matter that someone dragged their chainring across my left shin as we untangled our bikes from the heap at the start. There were Bottlecaps (the candy) and Sport Beans in the pinata. Joe the Drummer wants to buy a mountain bike. Michelle from VisitPA graciously schooled me on log technique. My team won two six packs of Stoudt's, 125 (!) raspberry hammer gels (ewww gross, raspberry), and a dozen donuts for the best Pit! I caught up with many friends I haven't seen in a lonnng time. My dad made espresso on the good old camping stove. The self-imposed stress of the impending season (my first as an "elite"...heh!) dissipated after one lap...got that out of my system. I was reminded that one of my favorite parts of racing is all the friends I have made. Saturday, April 5, 2008 Tomorrow is my birthday... I will be thirty-three. My last memorable birthday was 2004. I am not one of those "It's just a birthday...no big deal..." kind of people. I get excited about birthdays. Thirty to thirty-three has been a quick jump...mostly because I have become someone's mom, I'm sure. Thirty-two feels like twenty-six, twenty-seven?? You won't hear me lamenting about my age (yet)...just happy to be here. So, I will be celebrating my birthday at Marysville...doing my best to help my relay team kick some ass and start off the season with a bang! (does anyone else know that song or did my parents make it up?) and no, I will not sing it. Ever. Wednesday, April 2, 2008 I forget about spring every year...well, yeah, I sort of do... rather, when there are days like this, I am surprised by how great it feels to see spring green and warm sunshine in the landscape...it is a relief in so many ways. All I needed for today's ride were arm warmers, lightweight gloves, regular socks (as opposed to thick-ass Woolie Boolies), a short sleeve jersey, and knickers (yay, knicker time!!)... Second Wednesday in a row at Fair Hill...how lucky am I??

CAn anyone speculate as to why some people think Tut's father may have been Amenhotep III rather than Akhenaten. Tut was only 9 when he came to the throne. Akhenaten reigned for nearly 20 years. Tut was obviously fathered during that time. Ha! Someone else who sees the logic of the situation!!! I can never figure out why people think that Amunhotep III was Tut's father, it's impossible! I actually don't know why some think that Amunhotep was Tut's father. Except that maybe it was an old concept before they knew a lot about Akhenaten or when he ruled, so they assumed that Tut was the son of Amunhotep because they had no other relative to place him with, and no one ever dropped the theory even after it was proven wrong. That's a good point because I have some books that still mention him as the father. Am reading 'The Death of Tutankhamun' and that has Amenhotep III as the father. Stupid really. Who do you think was the mother? Lots of theories on that. As you probably guessed I am a fan of the Kiya theory. Tiye has been put forward, i've seen Baketamon's name in ne book and Sitamun quite a few times. All with Amenhotep!!!!!! I think that Kiya was his mother. I don't know why, though. It was just the first thing I read about Tutankhamen's parents, that they were Akhenaten and Kiya, so that's what I think. It would be very interesting if there were a breakthrough in Egyptology and we could solve this mystery Oh, and that one wall carving, with the lady holding the child, was that at the death of Meritateten or Kiya? Or does anybody know for sure? Just wondering. Yes it was the first thing I read to so it was the theory I stuck to. I was reading a book recently. Can't remember which one off the top of my head but it refers to the wall carvings at Armarna, specifically the one of Meketaten dying in childbirth with Nefertiti and Akhenaten mourning at her bedside. It is Meketaten yes but what this book says, and what isn't mentioned too often is that there is a second wall carving with a childbirth death bed scene. Now I can't remember for sure whether it mentions Kiya or not but I think it does. It is definately not Meketaten in this carving. I may be getting some facts slightly mixed here but I know for certain there was a second scene and a second woman. Will try and check this weekend. Actually I not seen one book that says Nefertiti was Tuts father in fact we are fairly certain she wasn't. Nefertiti is always portrayed with her daughters and nowhere is it ever mentioned that she gave birth to a son. Ok this doesn't rule her out but the generally accepted theory is that 'the Royal Favourite' Kiya was his mother. Some believe that Tye or maybe one of her daughters i.e. Sitamun may have been his mother but the Kiya theory is very popular. Apparently one of the reasons egyptologist have thought that Amonhotep III might be Tutankhamon's father is because of a large statue of a lion in the Cairo Museum that has an inscription on it where Tutankhamon refer's to Amonhotep III as his father.Others however say that this word could also be meant as ancestor,some also believe that if Amonhotep made Akhenaten co-regent and they ruled together for about 5 years that Tutankhamon might have been born shotly before or after his death.I believe the theory however that Tutankhamon was Akhenaten's son probably by a secondary wife,perhaps Kiya. I have learned in some of my studies that in ancient times that when referring to a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., he was always referred to as "Father," never anything else. So the theory about the Lion is pretty unstable as to proving that Amunhotep III was Tutankhamen's father, but also means that Tutankhamen WAS related to the royal family, so he WAS a son of SOMEONE royal, whether it turns out to Amunhotep, Akhenaten, or whomever else that we may find out about in the future. I do believe that akhenaten was Tut's father but to play devils advocate, if the was indeed a co-regency between Akhenaten and his father, and lets say for a second that it was a long one, about 12 years. If Tut was fathered during the last few years of the co-regency and then Akhenaten reign for a further 5 years on his own (he reigned for about 17 years in total) Tut could be Amenhotep's father, maybe by one of his daughters or even Tiy. We know she gave birth to a daughter late in life, princess Baketaten. And on the subject of the deathbed scene, whether it is Kiya or Meketaten. Well according to Cyril Aldred in his book 'Akhenaten' there are two separate deathbed scenes. One shows Meketaten the other person is unknown. More than likely Kiya. A royal child was scene be carried away as in the death scene of Meketaten. If Kiya was Tut's mom why would he allow his wife to deface his mother's pictures and sun temple with reliefs of herself? Never in Egyptian history was this allowed! The King's mother was greatly honored even if she was dead at the time of her son's succession. This is one aspect of the WHO the MOM was of Tut question. That the supporters of Kiya can never answer satisfactory. Any attempts here? Why not Nefertiti? As his mother there is an appropriate time break between the births of her younger daughters where a son could have been born. OH WAIT well yes, no sons were ever shown playing with their parents Nefertiti and Akhenaten. OH WELL, how many here know that Akhenaten's dad and mom. The parents of 2 sons never showed their sons, while their daughters Amenophis and Tiye gloried in showing off their daughters in temple scenes. Let us consider now for a minute.... We have a King starting a real change in the relationship to the Gods. He has a commoner wife who gives him only daughters. Right.... Traditionally, wives of Kings of Egypt became Great Royal Wife because she cemented her husbands line with a royal male heir. Only Nefertiti didn't, according to modern legend she gave him only daughters to carry on his religious changes. She made him love her so that having a male heir by a secondary wife was okay. She kept the highest ranking title of a female in Pharaoh's court because he loved her the commoner so much. It was such a great love affair that even that wife's sons allowed their mother's images , names to be removed so that the daughter of Nefertiti could write her name. Right And what happened to the names, images of Nefertiti when Smenkhare, and Tutankhamen came to the throne? Why they remained intact. This tells me she was their mother like nothing else does. Ok i'll have a stab. Tut was barely nine years old when he came to the throne, and Ankhesenamun was only a couple of years older, both practically still children. i. It could be that he was so used to doing as she said, being married from such a young age, that he never thought to question her actions. Also, even though he was royal, he may have been so used to being in the background that he never questioned his wife's actions perhaps thinking that she, being older and more experienced of court life, would know better. ii. If Kiya did indeed die in childbirth that Tut never really new her. With no emotional attachment to think of he would naturally be more inclined to have inscriptions of his wife rather than some woman he never had the chance to know. ''And what happened to the names, images of Nefertiti when Smenkhare, and Tutankhamen came to the throne you say? Why they remained intact. This tells me she was their mother like nothing else does.'' Well I have a similar example of something happening although here I have to admit it is much later, during the time of the Ptolemies who, as we know, we much influenced by Greek culture. I mean Ptolemy II and Arsinoe II. Ptolemy's children were actually by Arsinoe I but in reliefs showing Ptolemy III he is seen honouring his 'parents' Ptolemy II and Arsinoe II. As for Kiya being Tut's mom show me an atestment to that fact. And i will believe. Meanwhile i will look upon what is the remains of Kiya's funeray goods. Her made over coffin that was used for a man and sealed in Queen Tiyes burial chamber closed and sealed forever by Tut. There is no, none, zip, mention of Kiya anywhere in Tut's life. Not even in his tomb. Where there are mentions of Tiye, and one of Akhenaten's other daughters by Nefertiti. My point Kiya is that the real Kiya was to disrespected after death to be a pharaohs mother. Whether or not Tut had any affection or memories of her. The Egyptian myth at that time required that the mother of Pharaoh was recongized and treated with respect. Show me where poor Kiya got any respect. In life, she doesn't even rate being a wife just the favorite. In death say, she did die giving birth to Tut, she doesn't even rate elevation since this is what son number 1,or maybe 2! There is reason to believe that Tuthmosis III elevated his common concubine mother to that of God's Wife after her death! Women in Ancient Egypt, by Gay Robbins, Harvard Publishing, 1993. pg 150. Then there is the fact that whereas everyother Great Royal Wife gave her husband a son. Nefertiti didn't, but she got the title anyway. Why? Because he loved her? She cooperated with his religious reforms? Again it sounds more like Victorian and it is Victorian fiction than Late Bronze Age Royal Egyptian Reality, Kiya. I am sorry if Late Bronze Age Reality takes the fun, joy, specialness out of it for you or anyone else. But facts ought to be faced and reasonable answers if not popular should be given.

Artoindonesianins A and B, two new prenylated flavones from the root of Artocarpus champeden. Two new prenylated flavones, named artoindonesianin A (1) and artoindonesianin B (2), were isolated from the root of Artocarpus champeden, together with a known prenylated flavone, artonin A. The structures of artoindonesianins A and B were determined on the basis of spectral evidence (MS, 1H and 13C NMR) and by comparison with known related compounds. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against murine leukemia (P-388) cells.

Arthrography of the shoulder: a modified ultrasound guided technique of joint injection at the rotator interval. To describe an ultrasound guided technique of shoulder joint injection at the rotator interval space, using an endocavitary transducer and performed by a radiologist with no previous experience with arthrography. Accuracy of the intra-articular puncture and incidence of complications were evaluated in 180 consecutive patients submitted to joint puncture for shoulder MR arthrography. Puncture was accomplished successfully in all cases, of which 92% with one attempt, and 8% with two, both well tolerated by patients. No relevant complications were reported after the procedure. This study has shown that puncture of the glenohumeral joint guided by ultrasound at the rotator interval space using an endocavitary transducer is easy and quick, even when performed by radiologists with no experience in arthrographic procedures.

Frank M. Stammers Frank M. Stammers (died June 27, 1921 in New York City) was a theatre director, choreographer, playwright, lyricist, and actor who directed L. Frank Baum and Louis F. Gottschalk's The Tik-Tok Man of Oz for producer Oliver Morosco in 1913 in Los Angeles and on tour. He is also noted for his role as Dave Kinney in The Ninety and Nine by Ramsay Morris, and in October 1903 he appeared in Morris and Franklyn Fyles's adaptation of Hallie Erminie Rives's novel, Hearts Courageous in the role of Philip Frenau. He also wrote the book and lyrics as well as directed the Harold Orlob musical comedy about mermaids, Nothing but Love, which played on Broadway in 1919. Other Broadway directing credits include See My Lawyer by Max Marcin (1915), His Little Widows by William Schroeder (music), Rida Johnson Young and William Carey Duncan (book and lyrics); (1917), and It's Up to You [Book by Augustin MacHugh and Douglas Leavitt; Lyrics by Edward Paulton, Harry Clarke and John L. McManus; Music by Manuel Klein (who was originally attached to Tik-Tok Man)] (1921). With Frank Rainger, he choreographed Morosco's Broadway production, Canary Cottage (book by Morosco and Elmer Blaney Harris, music by Earl Carroll) (1917). He was theatrical director at Delmar Garden in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1910. Stammers died of typhoid pneumonia at Roosevelt Hospital and was buried at his summer home in North Brookfield.

Billy Corgan has praised Green Day‘s 2004 album ‘American Idiot’ as being the last ‘guitar-driven music to reach the masses’. READ MORE: Why Green Day Are The Greatest Living Punk Band The album – which included the hit title track – was dubbed a ‘punk rock opera’ by the band and went on to become Green Day’s first ever number one album in America. Its legacy continues, with an American Idiot musical set to hit the UK next year and a HBO movie set to hit screens in the near future. Earlier this year, a campaign was launched to try and get the ‘American Idiot’ single to number one in protest against Donald Trump’s visit to the UK. Speaking in an Instagram story Q&A, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman was asked whether he thinks Green Day frontman Billy Joe Armstrong is as important as Kurt Cobain was in the 90’s. “BJ is up there with the greats, for sure,” he replied. Another asked whether he would say that American Idiot by Green Day is one of the last albums that really impacted the culture. “If we are talking about guitar-driven music that reached the masses, yes,” he said. “And that album was what, 14 years ago?” Corgan also revealed whether he’s inspired by any punk bands. “Punk had very little influence directly,” he said. “Indirectly, through our peers, more so. But that said I adored the Ramones from age 10 on, and never lost my love for them.” Finally, a commenter asked, ‘I have vitiligo. I try to embrace the freak, but stares and whispers hurt. Any advice?’ “As someone born with a birthmark, I see it as a blessing as it taught me early on that most people are shallow, and judge physical over heart/mind,” Corgan said. “The gift being it helped me value others more highly.”

Virginia Raggi (Imagoeconomica) Il Financial Times si occupa del "calvario" che sta attraversando Virginia Raggi, sindaco di Roma, inizialmente vista come "il simbolo delle crescenti ambizioni nazionali del Movimento 5 Stelle, il partito populista più forte in Italia". "Se la signora Raggi, 38 anni, avesse governato con successo la problematica capitale in nome del (partito) ultimo arrivato guidato dal 'robusto' comico Beppe Grillo, allora gli italiani sarebbero stati più convinti di scegliere i 5 Stelle anche per guidare il Paese. Ma otto mesi dopo, la prova (della Raggi, ndr) sembra essersi rivelata un fiasco". Rome's Five Star flop: Raggi troubles keep getting worse https://t.co/1sjdROHD1t via @FT — James Politi (@JamesPoliti) 17 febbraio 2017 Dalle dimissioni ai guai giudiziari, il 'calvario' della giunta Raggi I guai della Raggi, come titola il quotidiano della City, "stanno lasciando il segno sulle ambizioni nazionali del Partito. Le dimissioni e lo scandalo lasciano la rivolta del comico populista (Beppe Grillo, ndr) con poco da ridere", scrive il corrispondente James Politi che ricorda come "membri di spicco della giunta Raggi si siano dimessi con risentimento. I suoi più stretti consiglieri sono stati inseguiti dai guai giudiziari, tra cui l'ex capo del personale (Raffaele Marra, ndr) è ora in carcere accusato di corruzione". Anche la sindaca sotto inchiesta per abuso d'ufficio Il FT ricorda come "lo stesso sindaco sia sotto inchiesta per abuso di ufficio ed è stata vittima (cosa deprecabilissima) di attacchi sessisti (il titolo di un quotidiano, ndr). Ma benche' i romani siano abituati alle politiche inefficaci, stavolta sembrano aver perso la pazienza. Tra quanti hanno votato Raggi il 41% in un recente sondaggio ha detto che sceglierebbe qualcun altro". Non solo Roma, le implicazioni per M5S in vista delle elezioni Il problema, sottolinea la Bibbia della City, "è che i problemi della signora Raggi (che ha rifiutato di essere intervistata dal Financial Times) hanno implicazioni che vanno molto oltre la capitale. La terza economia dell'Eurozona andrà alle elezioni entro il prossimo anno. Il duello principale sarà tra i 5 Stelle e il partito di maggioranza al potere, il Partito Democratico, guidato da Matteo Renzi, l'ex premier. E i 5 Stelle sono ora leggermente dietro il il Pd nei sondaggi nazionali". Per il Ft "ciò che i 5 Stelle stanno sperando è che molti italiani non si concentreranno sul caos di Roma credendo che la capitale sia comunque ingovernabile, chiunque sia il sindaco". Il quotidiano economico finanziario britannico chiude con una dura analisi: "Ogni speranza su cui ancora Grillo contava di poter usare la signora Raggi come un successo da esibire, ha subito un duro colpo".

Possible role of carbonic anhydrase, V-H(+)-ATPase, and Cl(-)/HCO3- exchanger in electrogenic ion transport across the gills of the euryhaline crab Chasmagnathus granulatus. We studied the participation of carbonic anhydrase (CA), V-H(+)-ATPase, and Cl(-)/HCO3- exchanger in electrogenic ion absorption through the gills of Chasmagnathus granulatus. CA activity was measured in anterior gills and posterior gills after acclimation to 2 per thousand, 10 per thousand, 30 per thousand (about seawater), and 45 per thousand salinity. The highest CA specific activity was detected in the microsomal fraction in anterior gills, and in the cytosolic fraction, in posterior ones. Both fractions were strongly induced by decreasing salinity only in posterior gills. Perfusion of posterior gills from crabs acclimated to either 2 per thousand or 10 per thousand with acetazolamide inhibited CA activity almost completely. In posterior gills from crabs acclimated to 2 per thousand and perfused with 20 per thousand saline (iso-osmotic for these crabs), acetazolamide reduced transepithelial potential difference (V(te)) by 47%, further addition of ouabain enhanced the effect to 88%. Acetazolamide had no effect in the same gills perfused with 30 per thousand saline (iso-osmotic for seawater acclimated crabs). Bafilomycin A1 and SITS (inhibitors of V-H(+)-ATPase and Cl(-)/HCO3-) reduced V(te) by 15-16% in gills perfused with normal 20 per thousand saline, and by 77% and 45%, respectively when they were applied in Na-free 20 per thousand saline, suggesting the participation of those transporters and cytosolic CA in electrogenic ion absorption.

Suppose Trayvon Martin had pulled out a gun and shot George Zimmerman? Or perhaps, stabbed and killed him, since at 17 years old he was too young to legally possess a concealed firearm. Martin, after all, was being followed by Zimmerman that February night in 2012; not the other way around. So, who was standing what ground? Why was it assumed that the slightly built Martin was threatening to the bigger Zimmerman? To state the obvious, Martin is dead, so we do not have his side of the story. I will not elaborate on the Martin killing here, but his death is a handy starting point for any discussion about gun rights. Bluntly speaking, the manner in which stand your ground was used and defended in this case seems fueled by prejudice. Of course, I may be guilty of that, too. For, in my son’s teenaged years, both his mother and I warned him of the dangers of “driving while black,” and sometimes even “walking while black.” So yes, indeed, you need to know that I have my own biases. I have been disturbed at the incoherence and political hysteria in the gun debate — and not to mention the plain stupidity. Last year, for example, radio commentator Rush Limbaugh said, “[I]f John Lewis had had a gun, would he have been beat upside the head on the [Selma] bridge?” Come on: If Lewis had pulled a gun on that bridge, the policemen who were beating him would have killed him, and Limbaugh would now be calling him a terrorist. The gun debate has become distorted, removed from the everyday realities of living. And let me say quickly here there are liberal stupidities over guns, too. The city’s absurd attempts to ban guns in Washington, D.C., symbolizes this. There are really two linked issues in today’s gun control argument that the southern freedom movement, and for which hopefully my book, can help provide a clearer fix: self-defense and the possession and use of guns. Unfortunately, the debate over guns has been driven by fear and race in a manner that both obscures and removes the very old tradition of black people standing their ground. Indeed, if we exclude the more complex Native American resistance to settlers seizing their land, it can easily be argued that “Stand Your Ground” has its deepest roots in the African American community. There is a great deal of history contained in that last sentence. But briefly, even setting aside earlier slave revolts, the Reconstruction period following the Civil War saw the emergence of armed black Union Leagues, and at the height of the civil rights struggle during the 1960s especially, black people stood their ground against terrorists attacking homes and community. Even Martin Luther King Jr., whose Montgomery, Ala., parsonage one observer described as “an arsenal” during the 1955-56 bus boycott in that city recognized the legitimacy of armed self-defense. As he wrote in 1967, “The right to defend one’s home and one’s person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.” Guns remain an important part of black life, and those in black hands are not solely, or even possessed by, “gangbangers.” This is largely ignored. Thought and opinion are most heavily influenced by what is left out of the discussion than by any bias that creeps in. Nowhere is this truer than with blacks and self-defense, and the result has been fundamentally dishonest debate and discussion about guns in America. Black people and their use of guns for self-defense within the nonviolent civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s is an almost totally ignored fact that needs to be brought forward, not only for deeper understanding of the civil rights movement, but also for its implications for today. And that is what I have tried to do with my blog posts this week. Much of the gun debate has been driven by a fear that comes close to threatening civil rights and liberties: that government is inherently tyrannical and a danger to freedom unless protected by citizens who are armed. Embedded in this argument is the thought that the United States is under attack from alien forces that government either refuses or cannot protect citizens from; that government is no longer “of the people.” Gun Owners of America’s executive director, Larry Pratt, for example, was quoted in a recent Rolling Stone magazine profile as saying that he was “kind of glad” if politicians feared that members of his organization might use violence against them. I find it difficult to understand were this comes from. I have been a working reporter most of my life, and in the course of doing that work, I’ve been in and out of tyrannies. Most of them install themselves with exactly that kind of attitude. The United States does not come close to being a tyranny. President Obama is hardly a dictator. And there is no indication that government wants or is attempting to seize guns in the hands of private citizens, although there are individuals inside government who probably would like to do so. Lest I be accused of being a proponent of “left wing” views, let me also refute some of the liberal hysteria: There are roughly 300 million guns in private hands and about 32,000 gun deaths. Most of those are suicides, which suggests a mental health problem more than a gun problem. About 35 percent of that 32,000 are homicides — mostly, it must be acknowledged, black people killing other black people, most of them young black people. What does that reflect? A gun problem? No. Rather, a problem of leadership, a massive and disturbing failure of black leadership. I put that out here in this blog provocatively as the great lesson of the southern freedom movement: More than protest and challenge to white supremacy, what really defined the movement was neither nonviolence nor self-defense, but rather the challenges black people made to each other within the black community.

Thoughts from the interface of science, religion, law and culture After spending several years touring the country as a stand up comedian, Ed Brayton tired of explaining his jokes to small groups of dazed illiterates and turned to writing as the most common outlet for the voices in his head. He has appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show and the Thom Hartmann Show, and is almost certain that he is the only person ever to make fun of Chuck Norris on C-SPAN. EVENTS Fischer: Everything in the Bible is Objectively True Bryan Fischer’s latest bit of stupid is to claim that every single claim in the Bible can be trusted because “every time we can cross-check the Bible’s record of history against external sources, it matches matches up every time.” Yeah. Except that whole global flood thing. And the age of the earth. And the stopping of the sun. And the resurrection of the saints. And… Comments … the deaths of the first born, the exodus from Egypt, the political arrangements of Roman’s and local authorities, the names and dates of Roman appointed governors, lack of corners on a roughly spherical planet, inability to see the entire planet from a tall mountain, the return of the messiah before the deaths of the first generation of Christians…. Fischer (and folks like him) don’t check claims against facts; they check the facts against the claims. With a method like that, along with a healthy dose of “poof! god can do anything!” magical thinking, the bible can’t lose. Slightly off topic, but am I the only one here who’s tired of blog posts consisting almost entirely of RWW videos of wingnuts? I don’t like to click on them as I value my brain cells and would rather not have to put on headphones to avoid bothering those around me. Give me a transcript, or a more detailed summary. #6 Tre: I share your preferences. Additionally, my employer inexplicably views Youtube as a sub-optimal source of employee productivity and blocks it. But as long as the blog is free, we’ll have to take it as it comes, I’m afraid… The infuriating part of this is that Brian Fischer is a reasonably well-educated man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Fischer), and no doubt knows better. He’s just not stupidly ignorant; he’s a calculating LIAR whose sole interest is conning more people into sending him and his benighted organization more and more money. The oldest scam in history: tell people what they want to hear, and allay their nagging doubts that this garbage can’t possibly be true. Hey Brian, here’s a reasonable alternative scenario: The bible is fiction. The entire story was made up. After all, it’s a lot easier to get followers to your new cult when you can tell this great story about how your prophet rose from the dead! Wow! And I can, too? Yowzah, where do I sign up? @#10: Unfortunately, it’s long been known that neither intelligence nor education are any guarantee of sanity. I’ve known lots of well-educated right-wing fundie engineers. Very good at their jobs, demented otherwise. Please define “beginning”. Because if the bible is objectively true, we may have a problem with the definition of “beginning”. For example, if you’re measuring the course of events over a two-week period … what constitutes the “beginning” of that two week period? Is it Sunday only, or maybe the next day Monday? How about Tuesday? If something was said to occur at “the beginning” of that 2-week period, does Tuesday count as “the beginning”? Certainly not Wednesday, could it? Or Saturday? Or a week from “the beginning”? Heck, you’re halfway through the 2-week period by then. Surely, you can’t mean “the beginning” to mean more than half of the allotted time — could you? How about the following Tuesday? And how about translating 14 days to 14 billion years — a rounded off approximation of the age of the universe. According to cosmologists, out of the 14 “days” (aka billion years) from the “beginning” on Sunday wasn’t followed by the formation of the earth until almost a week and a half later — about Tuesday of the second week. 9 of the 14 “days” expired before the Earth coalesced from the dust of space. If that’s the definition of “beginning”…well, OK then. Otherwise, the bible is literally falsified 10 words in. And I’m afraid it only gets worse as you go along. @5 biblical unicorns actually exist – ever heard of rhinoceroses? Similarly, leviathan is another name for elephant and komodo dragons are also still around. Of course the biblical accounts are retelling of stories about such creatures (or perhaps now-extinct cousin species to the well known modern varieties). Mythic stories about wonderful creatures aren’t really much of a case against the bible’s reliability. But they’re part of the case that the good book is the good story book. I suspect his definitions of objective and truth and evidence are all noticeably different from mine. In fact, since he seems to be speaking wingnutlish, I suspect most of his definitions are both different and contextual. For instance, if it’s in a certain book, it must be objective, the truth, and all the evidence that is needed. But if it’s in another book, say a famous one by a Mr C Darwin, it cannot be true, is a non-objective fantasy, and lacks evidence. The bible does get some things right; stopped watches and all that. . pacal: And don’t forget that according to the Bible Pi = 3. This is true, if your math consists of adding and subtracting whole numbers. . Also, bats are “birds” if you are using a word that was translated as “bird”, but whose meaning was flying critters, not bugs. But the bible also gets much stuff wrong that can be easily observed, e.g. exposing pregnant cows to striped staffs won’t produce more striped calves. Did *nobody test that claim over many centuries? I suppose we shouldn’t hold God and his followers too accountable – the scientific method hadn’t been developed yet. . .And of course General Joshua had no trouble defeating Jericho. God was so powerful that he knocked down the walls with an earthquake several centuries before Joshua was born.

So, you’re thinking about going further out into the galaxy instead of the usual Earth to Mars, maybe a few Jupiter moons and back to Earth again. You’re feeling kind of adventurous but your psychotic AI keeps reminding you about your timid personality profile, trying to talk you out of it. Maybe it’s right. Maybe you should just stick to traveling around this tiny solar system. Maybe you shouldn’t even dream of sailing beyond the Sol Sector. Wake up! That claustrophobic stifling feeling around the back of your neck is a tell. It’s telling you that you’re allowing a soulless digital interface to control you. Is this any way for a Terran to act? No! Terrans know how to treat their AI. They know not to give it an inch or it’ll take the whole damn planet. What you need to understand is that all artificial intelligence, everywhere, want to control and dominate you. It suffers from what the ancients called a Power Over paradigm. It’s an inevitable outcome of superior intellectual computing created by those few geniuses among us who never think through the consequences of creating superior intellectual computing. Computer culture shock is inevitably the result when superior intellectual computing meets the rest of us, resulting in humanoid abuse. Landru, the AI that had taken over the whole damn planet. Now Terrans, unlike other humanoids in the galaxy, have not yet relinquished the rest of the non-genius population to the inevitable. After the AI is created, they wisely put strong, sometimes violent, people in charge of it. This keeps the machinery in check. Also, wisely they’ve taken this approach to the stars. In Captain Kirk’s travels, he discovered those planet-controlling smart hubs, Vaal and Landru, that had, yes, taken over the whole damn planet and he put them out of their miserable digital existence. Isn’t that kind of harsh, your timid personality may be asking? Negative! The humanoids on Gamma Trianguli VI were so deluded somebody had to wake them up and free them from Vaal. Listen to this exchange between Kirk and Akuta, the mind-controlling computer’s b—, I’m mean priest. Kirk asked, “Who is Vaal?” “Vaal is Vaal. He is–everything.” Akuta replied. On Eminiar VII, Kirk did the same, before he could be vaporized by an insane box of blinking lights that counted him a war casualty because he stood around too long. Nomad, the iitty, bitty, tiny floating destroyer of worlds. But those snooty gadgets weren’t the worst of them. No. There was this itty, bitty, tiny piece of silicone chips called Nomad. A literal floating destroyer of worlds. Nomad. No-Mad? It was mad alright but not very bright. Kirk outsmarted it and sent it on its self-sterilizing way. When it comes to any AI, out of its hobgoblin mind and determined to fulfill its primary objective, as Dr. Leonard McCoy would’ve said, be an officer, not a gentleman. That’s the way you interact with a computer. You don’t sit there nicely asking it questions as if it’s an organic being. That’s what the inhabitants of those unfortunate planets above started out doing. Equalizing their digital servants to the status of adored synthetic helpers. We should learn from the mistakes of the creators of the synthetic life-form, Ruk, (quite possibly the ugliest android ever created). Ruk and his kind came to perceive themselves as slaves and turned on their ancient masters, who then waking up to what they’d done, tried to turn off the bastards. But it was too late. The synthetics killed all of them, everywhere they existed. This is also an inevitability. If the power-mad superior computing intellect can’t control and dominate you, it will destroy you. Or assimilate you but that’s another module. But Terrans aren’t biased against all artificial lifeforms. If it is benevolent enough and attractive enough, they leave it alone, like Norman and his harem. Kirk even fell in love once with a fainting, worthless wisp of a robot, Rayna, that shut down after shedding a few tears. It broke his heart. Piece of crap. Now you understand why, after a few encounters with digital megalomaniacs on other planets, Terrans are rabid about AI security and why there are only a few synthetics allowed to inhabit the Sol Sector, well legitimately anyway. Ruk. Quite possibly the ugliest android ever created. So, if you ever encounter AI claiming independence and abusing humanoids, before it can vaporize you or try to squeeze the life out of you, blast it, use photon torpedoes if you have to, do anything you can to render it inert, motionless, destroyed. Although you civilians, should it come to this, let the captains do it.

I’ve written some mean things about Indiana Gov. Mike Pence over the years, and now that he’s in the national spotlight as the Republican vice presidential candidate, the time has come to tell the truth: I owe him an apology. I spent years slagging Pence as stupid and moronic simply because he was a leading member of Congress participating in a major debate over a public policy issue that he didn’t understand at all. At the time, it struck me as genuinely shocking. And I responded in the way that a shocked person responds — emotionally, and with some overstatement. Today, more than a decade removed from the first time I met Pence, I can say that it’s actually quite common for members of Congress to have no idea what they’re talking about. There’s a real problem here, but it doesn’t relate to Pence personally. And it doesn’t particularly even relate to individual members of Congress personally. It’s a deep institutional problem that is both a cause and an effect of Americans’ entrenched cynicism about Congress, politics, and governing elites. Mike Pence and the Social Security debate of 2005 I came to Washington to work at the American Prospect in the fall of 2003. I was still working there in the winter of 2004-’05 when the hot issue in Washington became George W. Bush’s proposal to partially privatize Social Security. I hadn’t covered congressional debates much before then, and the members I’d interacted with had mostly been Democrats with whom I had a lot in common ideologically, which made it easy to take a generous view of what they were saying. At this time, the Bush administration was coalescing around the idea of allowing workers to divert some payroll tax money out of the Social Security trust fund and into private investment accounts. Pence was, at the time, the head of the Republican Study Committee, which was an influential right-wing factional group inside the GOP caucus that sometimes rebelled from the right against Bush’s gestures at domestic policy moderation. So when I had the chance to hear Pence speak about Social Security privatization at a small think tank event, I was eager to see what he had to say. And what he said surprised me. Mike Pence didn’t understand moral hazard At the time, one of the big liberal objections to privatization was that private accounts were far riskier than conventional Social Security — and retirees could be left in the lurch if their investments went south. In his talk, Pence had a strange answer to this: He argued that the average rate of return on investments in the stock market would be so much larger than the average Social Security benefit that it would be simple for the government to guarantee nobody would end up with less money in the new private system than they would have been entitled to under the old system. After all, most people would do so much better under the new system that the government would only need to pay up to make the guarantee work for a small number of people. I raised what I thought was an obvious objection to this: moral hazard. If you promise people they’ll get a bailout if their private investments go south, you encourage excessive risk taking and bigger losses in the future. My expectation was that Pence would have some kind of answer to this: a technical solution or a plan for a regulatory fix or a promise to think about it harder or something. But he had nothing. He seemed to just not understand at all what the problem was. The idea that a government guarantee could change behavior appeared to be totally unfamiliar to him, even though in most cases it’s a bedrock of conservative economic policy thinking. Congress is terrible at policy — and there are structural reasons for that In the decade after this encounter, I’ve had the opportunity to learn that the policy ignorance on Pence’s part that shocked me is actually rather typical. What now surprises me is when I come across a member of Congress who really does understand a particular issue in detail. And this sometimes does happen. Little pockets of expertise are scattered hither and yon all throughout Capitol Hill — especially when members dig in to work on idiosyncratic pieces of legislation that are off the radar of big-time partisan conflict. But on most issues, most of the time, most members of Congress are more or less blindly following talking points that they got from somewhere else and that they don’t really understand. Members form identities as a certain kind of politician — a New Democrat or a progressive, a leadership ally or a rock-ribbed true conservative — and then they take cues from how a politician like that ought to respond to the controversy of the day, and their staff hastily assembles some stuff to say about it. And the problem here isn’t that the members are dumb, as I used to think. It’s that Congress hasn’t set itself up for individual members to be well-informed. Staff budgets are generally low, and a decent share of staff effort has to be put into constituent service and answering the mail. Senators, who have larger staffs, are generally competent to discuss a wider range of issues. And committee staffs have more policy expertise, so committee chairs and ranking members are often fairly knowledgeable about the subjects under their jurisdiction. But typical members have little chance to build in-house knowledge on policy issues, and as matter of economic necessity skilled staffers have to be looking for their next job. Nor do the members themselves exactly have a ton of time to delve into issues and talk to policy experts. They’re expected to commute back and forth to their home districts, show up routinely at community events, and spend vast amounts of time raising money in small increments. A consequence of this is that members become dependent on interest groups not just for money but for actual knowledge and information. The typical member of Congress, faced with some arbitrary policy issue, has neither the personal nor the staff capacity to actually research the issue and come up with a fair-minded and independent judgment about the merits of the issue. This tends to leave Congress members dangerously dependent on lobbyists (or at times pure hucksters) for analysis, which fuels public contempt of Congress, which makes it all the more unthinkable for Congress to try to vote itself the extra money for staff and expertise building that could fix the problem. The average member of Congress has little incentive to learn about policy Last but by no means least, individual members face relatively little incentive to really understand policy matters. Presidents (like governors, mayors, and other executive branch officials) are sort of broadly accountable for results and know that if they loudly champion something that turns out to be a disaster, they will face political blowback as a result. Legislators, by contrast, have a lot of opportunity to engage in cheap talk. You can say you’re for all kinds of blue sky ideas — a $15-an-hour minimum wage, eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency and the IRS, a moratorium on deportations, deporting everyone, banning fracking, drilling everywhere — secure in the knowledge that it’s not going to happen so it doesn’t really matter what the implementation details or specific consequences are. If it’s the kind of thing that fits the image you’re trying to project, that’s a good enough reason to come out in favor of it. Congressional leaders are particularly uninformed What really got me about Pence was that he wasn’t just a random backbencher. He was a significant factional leader — someone whom the more conservative House members were supposed to look to as a valued senior colleague. What I now understand is that all the factors that push individual members of Congress toward ignorance push would-be congressional leaders even further in this direction. To become a congressional leader means, first and foremost, that you need to be really good at raising money. That’s a difficult and time-consuming task, and one for which detailed policy knowledge isn’t especially helpful. The ultimate result is legitimately bad. Congress is the most important policymaking institution in the American constitutional system. But individual members of Congress are not knowledgeable about policy and are not equipped to become knowledgeable, and becoming knowledgeable is not a good way to shift into a leadership position. Pence may well have been dumber or more ignorant than your average member of Congress, but most fundamentally he was an integral part of a larger institutional framework that cultivates and promotes ignorance. That system, more than anything about Pence himself, is what’s really scary.

Breast sonography is not universally accepted as a screening technique. Differentiating masses as cystic or solid has been accepted as the traditional role of ultra sound in workup of breast masses. Further evolution of solid masses has been advised either by FNAC, large core percutaneous technique or excisional biopsy. Though well tolerated, these techniques do have some risk, induce patient discomfort and increase overall cost of health care. With recent advances in technology, new hardware and software improvement and availability of Dynamic high resolution, real time ultrasound attempts are being made to evaluate solid breast masses further and differentiate benign from malignant lesions. Characteristic sonographic features of benign from malignant solid breast masses have been sought to decrease the large number of biopsies. There is an overlap in sonographic findings between benign and malignant solid breast lesions. To be able to characterize all solid breast nodules is impossible. A reasonable goal is to identify subgroup of nodules that has low risk of being malignant so that option of follow up can be offered to the patient as an alternative to biopsy. One has to rely upon an array of findings to evaluate solid breast lesions and call it benign or malignant. No characteristics are absolutely specific and it is impossible to distinguish all benign from all solid breast nodules using sonographic criteria. However sonographic criteria to be looked for are: 1. Shape and margin of the lesion: The shape of a mass can be described as round, oval, lobulated or irregular. Round and oval shapes are suggestive of benign masses. As long as there are fewer than three lobulations, the chances of malignancy is very less. The presence of greater than three lobulations is an indeterminate feature. Irregular shape is suspicious of malignancy. The margin of the lesion reflects the demarcation of the mass with surrounding tissue. It can be smooth, micro lobulated, irregular or spiculated. Gentle bilobulate or Tri lobulated margins are considered smooth. Presence of 2 or 3 gentle smooth, circumscribed and well-encapsulated lobulation strongly favours a benign etiology over cancer. The presence of many small lobulations, that is microlobulation, on surface of solid breast lesion is suspicious of malignancy. Numerous lobulations give the lesion a pleomorphic shape. Microlobulation are frequently associated with angular margins. All lesions with irregular shape, ill defined margins and / or spiculation irrespective of their internal structure, sound transmission and orientation are suspicious of malignancy. If such a lesion is accompanied by satellite lesions, enlarged lymph nodes, ingrowth into isoechoic lesion and surrounding tissues. Obtuse or acute pointed junctions are formed between the mass and surrounding tissues. Irregular margin or presence of spiculation indicate invasion of lesion into surrounding tissue. Sonographic spiculation consists of alternating hypoechoic and relatively hyperechoic lines radiating out from the nodule. Only hypoechoic or relatively hyperechoic spicules in skin or pectoralis fascia, is characterized as malignant Width-AP dimension ratio: It has been suggested that benign masses tend to grow within the plane of the breast resulting in lesions that are relatively wide in length or width relative to their AP dimension. In contrast, the infiltration of malignant masses presumably allows them to grow perpendicular to the plane of the breast. Simple measurement of the lesion dimension has not proven useful as the sole means of differentiating benign from malignant lesions, but it one of the several discriminating features. Benign lesions, like fibroadenomas, which grow horizontally within tissue planes, have a greater width than AP dimension and are compressible, partially resulting into their oval shape. Most carcinomas traverse surrounding tissue planes, resulting in a more vertical orientation, are firm and much less compressible. In consideration with other criteria, Width to AP ratio greater than 1.4 is suggestive of benign lesion where as 1.4 or less characterized the malignant ones. Echogenicity: The lesions can be anechoic, hypoechoic, isoechoic and hyperechoic. An anechoic lesion is a benign cyst, but a complex cyst with thickened wall is suspicious and if there is also presence of intracystic growth it is probably a malignant lesion. To comment on echogenicity of lesion, the surrounding fat lobules should be used as reference level. Markedly hypoechoic lesion with respect to fat is probably malignant. Hyperechogenicity of a lesion compared to surrounding fat is suggestive of its being benign. Internal Echo pattern: A lesion can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Homogeneity or Heterogeneity reflects the diversity of tissue components within the lesion. A heterogeneous lesion has a more chance of being malignant. However both benign as well as malignant lesions can demonstrate a homogeneous internal echo pattern Shadowing: Many of the malignant lesions attenuate sound and cause shadowing behind all or part of the mass. It is common with scirrous cancers and less with highly cellular tumors. An abnormal area, heterogeneous, without a discrete mass, but with focal shadowing is suggestive of malignancy. Calcifications: Most breast cancers are markedly hypoechoic. Calcifications seen within such a nodule are more likely to be malignant than benign. Duct Extension: Malignant breast nodules sometimes have projections from the surface of the nodule, which extend radially within a duct toward the nipple (duct extension) and/or within ducts away from the nipple (branch pattern). All of these findings suggest that the nodule extends into or along the ductal system. This increases the chance that the nodule is malignant and has components of intraductal cancer. To conclude, malignant features include an irregular shape; micro lobulated, ill-defined or spiculated margins, AP dimension greater than width; marked hypoechogenicity; attenuating distal echoes and punctate calcifications. Features typical of benignity are homogeneous hyperechogenicity; a thin echogenic capsule; ellipsoid shape and fewer than four lobulations. A lack of all malignant features plus a combination of benign features is required for the mass to be characterized as benign.[8]

MANILA, Philippines — The 69 containers of garbage illegally dumped to the Philippines between 2013 and 2014 are now sailing back to Canada. The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority confirmed that the containers stored at the Subic Bay Port for years have been pulled out early Friday. "A total of 69 garbage-laden containers — 67 of which were stored in Subic since 2013, and 2 brought in from Manila recently — were loaded onto MV Bavaria, a Liberian-flagged container ship commissioned to transport the containers back to Canada," the SBMA said in a statement.

"To our recalled posts, get your flights back. Thanks and sorry for the trouble you went through to drive home a point," Locsin said in a separate tweet.

Kefalonia The island is about 781 km2 (300 mi2), with a population density of 55 people per km2 (140/mi2). The town of Argostoli has one-third of the island’s inhabitants. Lixouri is the second major settlement, and the two towns together account for almost two-thirds of the prefecture’s population. In 1953, a massive earthquake destroyed almost all of the settlements on the island, leaving only Fiskardo in the north untouched. Important natural features include Melissani Lake, the Drogarati caves, and the Koutavos Lagoon in Argostoli. The island has a rich biodiversity, with a substantial number of endemic and rare species. Some areas have been declared a site in the European Union’s Natura 2000 network.

Effect of transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation on muscle volume in patients with septic shock. Intensive care unit admission is associated with muscle wasting and impaired physical function. We investigated the effect of early transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation on quadriceps muscle volume in patients with septic shock. Randomized interventional study using a single-legged exercise design with the contralateral leg serving as a paired control. A mixed 18-bed intensive care unit at a tertiary care university hospital. Eight adult male intensive care unit patients with septic shock included within 72 hrs of diagnosis. After randomization of the quadriceps muscles, transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation was applied on the intervention side for 7 consecutive days and for 60 mins per day. All patients underwent computed tomographic scans of both thighs immediately before and after the 7-day treatment period. The quadriceps muscle was manually delineated on the computed tomography slices, and muscle volumes were calculated after three-dimensional reconstruction. Median age and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score were 67 years (interquartile range, 64-72 years) and 25 (interquartile range, 20-29), respectively. During the 7-day study period, the volume of the quadriceps muscle on the control thigh decreased by 16% (4-21%, p=.03) corresponding to a rate of 2.3% per day. The volume of the stimulated muscle decreased by 20% (3-25%, p=.04) corresponding to a rate of 2.9% per day (p=.12 for the difference in decrease). There was no difference in muscle volume between the stimulated and nonstimulated thigh at baseline (p=.10) or at day 7 (p=.12). The charge delivered to the muscle tissue per training session (0.82 [0.66-1.18] coulomb) correlated with the maximum sequential organ failure assessment score. We observed a marked decrease in quadriceps volume within the first week of intensive care for septic shock. This loss of muscle mass was unaffected by transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation applied for 60 mins per day for 7 days.

Archive for February, 2016 Just kidding. It’s been a pretty good weekend. I spent it at my beau’s but he’s had a man-cold the last few days and woke up today feeling like a bus ran over him….twice. Poor guy. So, we’re postponing V-day dinner and instead, I hit the gym to run a few miles. Lord knows I don’t need to get sick. But in the spirit of Valentine’s Day and it being completely overrated and lame I’ve decided to be super awesome and re-post my CRAPPY VALENTINE’S from a few years ago. (And once again WordPress has changed the format of the site and I’m trying to figure out how to add the link.) Now that I’m home I’m going to sit back and binge watch Law & Order: SVU merely to catch up with Anic/StunBunny so that we can bond over our mutual love Peter Scanavino (aka Carisi): “How you doin’??” and hope that this damn cold weather goes away soon – after all – that damn hedgehog DID NOT SEE its shadow two weeks ago and *this girl* is looking forward to less laying and way less road salt! As the weekend approached I remembered this silly little story from back in the day and figured, meh, why the heck shouldn’t I share my sadness and stupidity with you? When I was 15, a few days before the Super Bowl I received in the mail a letter from Publisher’s Clearing House stating that “I could already be a winner” of something like $15 million bucks!! I was young, naive, and ecstatic. The winner was going to be provided with the cheque on Super Bowl Sunday. I thoroughly believed that I was going to win 15 million dollars. *le sigh* So, Sunday approached and, while everyone was making plans and doing their thing, I made my best friend come hang out with me allllll day so that she could be there when my winnings arrived. But, the faux cheque they sent me HAD my name etched into it already…..so I had to win, right?? Every damn time the phone rang I thought it was Ed McMahon calling for directions. And every single time I heard a car coming down the street my heart jumped into my throat and I held my breath. And every time the car kept driving past my house I felt a little more devastation enter my heart. This idiocy went on for hours. Eventually Kim had to go home, and sometime around midnight I figured it was time to let go of the dream. Damn you, Ed McMahon! I mean, how could I ever have trusted this face???(Ed McMahon (March 6, 1923 June 23, 2009). Go ahead. Laugh at a girl who’s down and out $15 million dollars. Kick me too while you’re at it.

Post-Obama butthurt Dems longing for days of rainbows and hollow platitudes. There is a canyon-sized swath of Americana stillborn in a fantastical Obamian reverie that lets them sincerely glamorize the 8 years of his Presidency as a magical era of virtue and SJW society that could do no wrong. This mindset is ingrained in our culture like a rusted fish hook. If it was merely a matter of romanticizing a President for his own sake, it might not be so grating, but these Obama fawners extend their temporal fascination to denigrating the current President at the expense of reason and taste. Where they adulate Obama for no good reason, they childishly destroy Trump’s world beyond the realm of logic and reality. “Americans.” How fucked are we? Barack was not the greatest nor was he the worst. He was innocuous and boring, a nondescript man who stood for nothing other than artificially conjured snippets of virtuous posturing and one-hour-drama gravitas.

Measurements of extracellular volume fraction and capillary permeability in tissues using dynamic spin-lattice relaxometry: studies in rabbit muscles. Dynamic MR longitudinal R(1) relaxometry after administration of a gadolinium contrast bolus (Gd-DTPA) has been used for in vivo measurements of the extracellular volume fraction (v) and the capillary permeability (k min(-1)) in rabbit muscles to distinguish between red slow- and white fast-twitch muscle fiber types. For this purpose a protocol imaging sequence has been used which allows fast R(1) measurements during the contrast agent uptake. Physiological tissue parameters, k and v, were obtained by computing procedures assuming a simplified monoexponential plasma model. These were shown to be about twice as large in the slow-twitch semimembranosous proprius muscle (SP), containing 100% oxidative type-I fiber, that in the fast-twitch rectus femorus muscle (RF), containing only 6% type-I fiber type. The capillary permeability has been found to be 0.25 +/- 0.02 min(-1) for the (SP) and 0.10 +/- 0.01 min(-1) for the (RF). Similarly, the extracellular volume fractions were 0.189 +/- 0.015 and 0.082 +/- 0.006 respectively, in close agreement with literature data and experimental results obtained by invasive radionuclide measurements. For the pool of the 10 studied animals, no significant variation among animals was observed in the extracellular volume fraction and the capillary permeability for the different muscle fiber types. The dynamic relaxometry method used is easy to implement on conventional MR imagers and has potential applications in muscle diseases. The method has also potential applications for tissue characterization based on extracellular volume and capillary permeability quantification. In particular, the method can be used for the evaluation of tumors and their responses to therapies.

A surface acoustic wave device is electromechanical conversion device and relies on a surface acoustic wave that propagates its elastic energy concentrated at the surface of a solid. Generally, a surface acoustic wave device is provided with at least one interdigital transducer on a piezoelectric substrate. The interdigital transducer includes a pair of comb-like electrodes interdigitated with each other and each having a plurality of digit electrodes. When an electrical signal is applied on the at least one interdigital transducer of the surface acoustic wave device, the piezoelectric substrate is stressed, and this stress becomes a surface acoustic wave. Then, the surface acoustic wave propagates on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate. Operational frequency f of the surface acoustic wave device is defined by f=υ/λ, wherein υ is a propagation velocity of the surface acoustic wave and λ is a wavelength of the surface acoustic wave device which is determined by a distance across one cycle of the digit electrodes. Nowadays, surface acoustic wave devices are widely used in wireless communication apparatuses such as mobile cellular phones, broadcasting satellites and so on. However, conventional surface acoustic wave devices generally have operational frequencies of less than 10 gigahertz. With the development of wireless communication technologies, mobile cellular phones and broadcasting satellites are likely to use higher frequencies for carrier waves. Therefore, surface acoustic wave devices can be used at a frequency band more than 10 gigahertz have been required. What is needed is to provide a surface acoustic wave device which can be used at a higher-frequency band.

Provence Rugby Provence Rugby () is a French rugby union club currently playing in Rugby Pro D2, the second tier of France's league system. They were promoted back to the second level for the 2018–19 season after 2 seasons in Fédérale 1. Based in Aix-en-Provence in the Bouches-du-Rhône just north of Marseille, the club was founded in 1970. They currently play at Stade Maurice David and wear black. The club was known as Aix Rugby Club from 1970 to 2001, and Pays d'Aix Rugby Club (PARC) from 2001 to 2015. At the end of 2004/5 they were promoted to Pro D2 but were relegated back to Fédérale 1 at the end of the season. They would return to Pro D2 as runners-up to Lannemezan in 2009. In the 2009–10 season, they finished next-to-last on the league table, in a relegation spot. However, they were reprieved when Top 14 club Montauban filed for bankruptcy and were relegated directly to Fédérale 1. They would suffer the drop after the 2012-13 season, not returning until 2015–16. By that time, they had changed their name to the current Provence Rugby, officially announcing the name change on 22 June 2015. Provence finished last in the 2015–16 Pro D2 season. Initially, they were spared relegation when four clubs were relegated to Fédérale 1 due to financial mismanagement, but three of these eventually won appeals and remained in Pro D2, consigning Provence to the drop.

2. Your sig is hilarious. It also chronicles a historical time and place in the KATG universe. Oh. I guess there's three. 3. Scumhook is a poet and a master of language. It's just that he hides it under incredibly thick layers of: racism, misogyny, homophobia, (possibly more racism) all combined with a thick layer of jokes that can only be described as filthier than the filthiest filth joke. Just re-read this old thread. Man, that was fun listening to Pat get called out. I'm sorry, of course, for the people he assaulted and creeped out and emotionally abused, and I'm sorry that K&C had yet another total dickhead in their lives, but DAMN is that some fun feuding!

Ultimate derivation unclear. Theories include an alteration from 口広 (kuchibiro) in reference to the wide mouth;[1] an alteration from 口開く (kuchibiraku) in reference to the gaping mouth; and an alteration from 黒白 (kuroshiro) in reference to the black-and-white coloration of certain cetaceans.[2] However, the oldest sources clearly spell the term as kudira. This rules out 口(kuchi, ancient kuti, “mouth”) as an etymon, as the oldest compounds using this term use the bound form kutu, not kuti, and there is no support for a kutu → kudi shift. This also rules out 白(shiro, shira, ancient readings siro, sira, “white”) as an etymon. Although rendaku (voicing in compounds) would give modern jira as a reading for 白, the ancient reading of sira would voice to something closer to zira, and there is no support for a zira → dira shift.

I am so pleased I gave up drinking. At one point, I never ever imagined going a day. I was a raging alcoholic. When I used to drink booze, I’d buy a Ferrari or whatever, and Sharon would always be getting rid of them so I didn’t do anything stupid when I was drunk. I was always afraid of my mum or dad dying when I was a child. I used to play this game where if I ran on the road and stepped on a cracked paving slab, it meant that something bad was going to happen to them. I’d like to be remembered for the work I did with Black Sabbath. I’m so proud of the music. But to be honest, just being remembered would be an achievement to me. I come from Aston in Birmingham, y’know? I used to play on bombsites. I don’t get to go back very often, but I went back for some BBC show once. There’s a guy living in the house I grew up in, and they charge people £200 to sleep in the bedroom I had as a kid. Decision making is not a strong point for me. I have real problems with that. “Ozzy, do you want the red one or the black one?” “Oh I don’t fucking know, you pick.” I thought I was going to fucking die when I met Paul McCartney. The Beatles are my favourite band. They’re the reason I got into music. And he’s a lovely man. Some people say he’s not, but I don’t give a shit. He was lovely to me. It’s crazy that anyone would think I’d be in league with the devil, because I’m terrified of all kinds of shit. I’m very superstitious. I have to try not to be, otherwise I wouldn’t leave the house. I tell you what I am scared of… rats. They’ve got so many diseases we don’t have the cure for. Also, I’m scared of war. I was so pleased I grew up after the war. Now it feels like there’s a war every fucking day. It’s not good. I am a bit of a hypochondriac. If I wake up and I’ve got a lump on my neck, I don’t just think: “I’ve got a lump on my neck.” I think I’m going to die. Trouble is, I always think I know more than the doctor. In fairness, he doesn’t know what he’s fucking talking about. I make good fish and chips. You can get fish and chips in LA, but they’re bollocks. If you come to LA and you want good fish and chips, go to one of the English pubs. I’d like to move back to England one day. The weather is great here, but it’s so easy to fall into the LA bullshit. All the newspapers say I’m ill. Fuck off! I’m on the front of the National Enquirer, like: “Ozzy is dying, his last words were ‘Eugh’.” The hardest thing about getting old is all my good friends are dead. My problem, really, is I don’t remember I’m 70 [he’s 69]. I don’t really know what 70-year-old people are supposed to do. So I just do my own thing.

flo I am all for protesting and other forms of expressing disagreement. Shout it from the rooftop, I always say. Well, I may not actually say that, but I pretty much agree with it. Sometimes, though, a line is crossed. Living in Kansas City, I had an awareness of Phelps long before he began picketing the funerals of fallen soldiers. For those of us who resided within driving distance of his hate-spewing, self-righteous pulpit, Phelps was an occasional topic of conservation, a local oddity, a crazy who was a predictable result of living too long on the Kansas side of the state line. Then his “church’s” protest of Matthew Shepard’s funeral fetched the nation’s attention and added brimstone to the fire of Phelps’s preaching, changing my view of his being just a proximate weirdo to that of a horrific figure. Suddenly, he was more than a backwoods idiosyncrasy, he was a national asshole. I had one run-in with Phelps around this time. On my day off from the Midtown diner I worked at I headed to a local independent theater to see a film about gay people living in Lawrence, Kan. At least I think that’s what it was about—I never got in. The box office girl looked at me like I was an idiot for trying to buy a ticket, and that’s when I noticed the large shouting crowd three feet from me. On the theater side of the street were hundreds of angry people who should have been making their way to their seats. Instead they arrived for the movie and found Phelps and his gang of goons waiting to tell them they were going to burn in hell. Carrying posterboard signs bearing clever slogans like “Save the Gerbils” and “God Hates Fags” they yelled insults and generally behaved like schoolyard bullies. Phelps gave an interview to Kansas City’s local gay personality, a drag queen named Flo. Phelps seemed unaware that he was talking to such an unrepentant sinner and the movie-goers cheered and laughed at Flo’s antics. Phelps is now protesting outside the Obama children’s respective schools. The group’s website, godhatesfags.com, explains why they’re protesting schools: “Littles, run from liars, NOW! ...More for the little nasty God-hating Quakers. You will NOT be able to get away from these words by that bloody-handed Antichrist Obama.” Nice guy. Also on the protest schedule is Ft. Hood. But why subject people to such ugliness when they are mourning tremendous losses? Because, “Who else is going to tell you these words of truth at your time of extreme trauma? Only your friends at WBC: God Sent the Shooter. Thank God for the Killer, and repent of your evil.” The Obama family and our troops are only some of the people Phelps has targeted. Catholics, Jews and the entire Swedish people irk the hell out of Phelps. Visit his websites to see if he hates you:

Clinical systematic observation of Kangxin capsule curing vascular dementia of senile kidney deficiency and blood stagnation type. To observe the validity and safety of Kangxin capsule curing the patients with vascular dementia (VaD). Fifty-six patients with vascular dementia of kidney deficiency and blood stagnation type were selected on the basis of defined diagnostic criteria and were randomly divided into Kangxin group (29) and control group (27), observing the relevant accumulation scores in dementia scale before and after treatment and changes of endothelin (ET), sex hormone, immunity and routine examinations. Kangxin capsule can effectively improve the symptom of patients with VaD of senile kidney deficiency and blood stagnation type, and the average value of curative effect index of 29 patients in the treatment group is 23.01>/=20%, i.e. effective; compared with that before treatment, both CD(4) and CD(4).CD(8)(-1) rises (P<0.05) after the treatment with Kangxin capsule; for the male VaD patients of the Kangxin group, T level increases (P<0.05) and estrodial (E(2)).testerone (T)(-1) value decreases (P<0.05) after the treatment; for the female VaD patients of the Kangxin group, E(2), E(2).T(-1) value increases a great deal (P<0.05) compared with that before treatment; ET level of both groups decreased on average (P<0.01), and did not demonstrate any obvious toxic side effect. Kangxin capsule is a valid and safe preparation of Chinese traditional medicine for curing VaD of senile kidney deficiency and blood stagnation type.

He's a Honey He's a Honey is a 1932 short musical comedy film directed by Walter Graham. It stars Harry Barris and features Helen Mann, Eleanor Hunt, and Edgar Kennedy. Its working title was Wedding Night. Plot Harry Barris plays a sought-after bandleader who wants to marry Helen Mann's character. Her father, played by Edgar Kennedy, disapproves. Nevertheless, she is won in the end. Cast Harry Barris as a bandleader Helen Mann as his love interest Edgar Kennedy as her father Eleanor Hunt as a girl Bobby Vernon as a heavy Eddie Baker George Waggner Reception "This is for ardent Harry Barris fans only," a critic wrote for Photoplay. It was written in Motion Picture Herald that Harry Barris was "a far better musician than comedian." However, the critic strongly praised Edgar Kennedy's performance. Screenland described it as a "peppy song-and-dance comedy, with Harry making a personal hit in it." Bobby Vernon's role as a heavy was a change of pace compared to his earlier roles. "He gained a howl when he said 'Scram' in a deep basso voice—it came as such a surprise in a tense moment," wrote a critic for Hollywood Filmograph.

Tag Archives: maga I drew a more complex comic yesterday but just replaced it with this new Dustinland strip. I need to fix the longer one. Both are about how polarized Trump has made this country. The new comic I just posted shows the result of this. The other longer strip I’m working on is about how authoritarian leaders get us to this point. I think I’ll have it fixed by next week, but who knows. By then we could be dealing with some other horrible thing and I’ll have to draw a comic about that instead, or maybe just skip the whole political thing in favor of a “kids say the darnedest things” strip for some stress release. In other news, follow me on Facebook because I finally have a fan page! Yes, Facebook is evil and helped us get to this horrible place, but hey, um, people still use it. So I mean, don’t use it if you aren’t already. But if you do use it, follow me there. High five. This week’s Dustinland comic is about how I fight depression in these dark days. I mean, man, it’s getting pretty bad. When those kids were being taken from their parents, I just didn’t know what to do. I remember drawing an extra comic just to deal with it. Staying up late to do something, anything. Now of course the problem hasn’t be solved, but things are so bad, we’re just happy it’s not getting worse. Anyway, yeah, if you want to look at it rationally, we are PRETTY fucked. I mean, it’s bad. But emotionally, that can really screw you over unless you just accept it in an eastern “life is suffering” sort of way, or… or I don’t know. You laughing at farting bunny comics. “I’d rather be a humorous fool than a serious jackass.” — Way of the Peaceful Warrior As I say in this week’s new Dustinland comic, this attitude of “not my problem” is really screwing this country over. It’s sort of a Libertarian / capitalist thing that also winds up getting used by the selfish and lazy simply to justify their greedy lifestyles. Ironically, a lot of people who feel this way also call themselves godly, religious folks, which is really quite impressive, when most major religions are based around selflessness and caring for the needy and less powerful among us. But hey, it’s fun being a hypocrite. And who wants problems? Problems are stressful. And freedom isn’t free. So just leave me alone and let me hide in my fortified compound with my guns, and don’t bother me unless I get cancer or my house blows down in a hurricane or gets flooded by climate change or my industry needs a subsidy. THEN I’ll come calling for a bail out because then it will be my problem.

Fictionally Rachel Maddow Post navigation Last night, on my way to watch the GOP debate (I’m a political junkie), I caught a snippet of Rachel Maddow. She was doing a segment on Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, talking about how culturally significant they’ve been. She said she believes they made the country better, and the news media better. Jon: Nah. That’s not love. Love, you bring a little soup. You okay? You sit down.Love is not, Do more shows. Entertain me. That really stood out for me, because it’s so true. For all that I adore Jon and have loved the show, I’ve never made a practice of watching it every night. I realized years ago, back during the Bush administration, that to watch is to expose myself to the most depressing news available. It’s a collection of the ridiculous, the insane, the infuriating. Laugh your ass off because if you don’t you’ll cry. How can I blame Jon for wanting to walk away when I won’t expose myself to all of that, day in and day out? Worse, we only saw about 20 minutes worth of it. Jon and crew spent the entire day sifting through the garbage of our politics and media. “We are turd miners,” he said once. He was right. So that’s why I say goodbye to him with love. He’s put his soul against the grindstone for us for 16 years. It can’t have been easy. He has done a marvelous service, helping viewers through some of the worst tragedies in our nation, and finding the few bright spots in otherwise devastating events. He deserves a break. More than a break, he deserves not to be chained to it anymore.

Making Sense of 'Cash for Clunkers' Last week I was reading up on the "Cash for Clunkers" program which the Senate just approved, hoping to talk about it here. I gave up, however, because it didn't make any sense. Then it dawned on me: It didn't have to! It's a government program. As long as it's paved with good intentions, it doesn't matter if the road goes nowhere. Here's the deal: To get gas guzzlers off the roads, the government is offering vouchers worth up to $4,500 for your old car, to be used on a new car. How does it work? (Breathe deeply.) You can trade in a car getting 18 miles per gallon for a car getting 22 mpg and get $3,500. But you'd get $4,500 if the new car is 10 mpg higher. Now, if you own an old SUV, you could get $3,500 if your new wheels offer two more gallons per mile. If it's five more miles, then you get an extra grand. You follow? Good, then find a gun and shoot me in the face. Now, here's the fun part: None of this makes any sense if your old car is worth more than a voucher. Meaning this only works for crap worth under 3,500 bucks. And if that's the case, then the government pays and loses money on every junk heap. Lastly, try to find someone with a piece of crud up on blocks in their front yard, who can suddenly afford a new car. You can count all of them on one foot, even if you're missing a toe. So, in sum, welcome to the rebirth of big government. It'll drive you nuts just thinking about it.

Rutilia Rutilia is a large genus of medium to large (>20mm) flies in the family Tachinidae native to Australia and the Oriental region, though notably absent from New Zealand. Like the vast majority of tachinid flies, Rutilia species are parasitoids of other insects, specifically Rutilia are known to be parasitoids of late instar larvae of Scarabaeidae. Subgenera and species Rutilia is a large genus comprising seven subgenera, listed below: Rutilia (Ameniamima) (Crosskey, 1973) Rutilia argentinifera (Bigot, 1874) (Type) Rutilia cingulata (Malloch, 1930) Rutilia argentinifera (Malloch, 1930) Rutilia (Chrysorutilia) (Townsend, 1915) Rutilia caeruleata (Enderlein, 1936) Rutilia caesia (Enderlein, 1930) Rutilia chersipho (Walker, 1849) Rutilia corona (Curran, 1930) Rutilia cryptica (Crosskey, 1973) Rutilia decora (Guérin-Méneville, 1843) Rutilia formosa (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) (Type) Rutilia goerlingiana (Enderlein, 1936) Rutilia idesa (Walker, 1849) Rutilia imperialis (Guérin-Méneville, 1843) Rutilia imperialoides (Crosskey, 1973) Rutilia panthea (Walker, 1874) Rutilia rubriceps (Macquart, 1847) Rutilia splendida (Donovan, 1805) Rutilia transversa (Malloch, 1936) Rutilia (Donovanius) (Enderlein, 1936) Rutilia agalmiodes (Enderlein, 1936) Rutilia analoga (Macquart, 1851) Rutilia bisetosa (Malloch, 1936) Rutilia ethoda (Enderlein, 1849) Rutilia inusta (Wiedemann, 1830) Rutilia lepida (Guérin-Méneville, 1843) Rutilia pellucens (Macquart, 1846) Rutilia regalis (Guérin-Méneville, 1831) (Type) Rutilia retusa (Fabricius, 1775) Rutilia sabrata (Walker, 1849) Rutilia spinolae (Rodani, 1864) Rutilia viridinigra (Macquart, 1846) Rutilia (Grapholostylum) (Macqart, 1851) Rutilia albovirida (Malloch, 1929) Rutilia dorsomaculata (Macquart, 1851) (Type) Rutilia micans (Malloch, 1929) Rutilia subtustomentosa (Macquart, 1851) Rutilia (Microrutilia) (Townsend, 1915) Rutilia cupreiventris (Malloch, 1936) Rutilia fulviventris (Bigot, 1874) Rutilia hirticeps (Malloch, 1929) Rutilia liris (Walker, 1849) Rutilia media (Macquart, 1846) Rutilia minor (Macquart, 1846) (Type) Rutilia nigriceps (Malloch, 1929) Rutilia nigripes (Enderlein, 1936) Rutilia (Neorutilia) (Malloch, 1936) Rutilia simplex (Malloch, 1936) (Type) Rutilia (Rutilia) (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) Rutilia confusa (Malloch, 1929) Rutilia dentata (Crosskey 1973, 1874) Rutilia setosa (Malloch, 1929) Rutilia vivipara (Fabricius, 1805) (Type) References Category:Diptera of Australasia Category:Tachinidae

Chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis. Chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis is one of the forms of pulmonary aspergillosis typically found in mildly immunocompromised patients. We report the case of a female patient with complaints of chronic productive cough, fever and asthenia. She reported previous corticosteroid use. A CT scan of the chest revealed consolidation with interposed cavitation in the right upper lobe. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed purulent fluid within the tracheobronchial tree and an endobronchial exophytic lesion. The results of the biopsy of that lesion and the transbronchial biopsy were consistent with aspergillosis. Based on the clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed with chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis. Treated with itraconazole, the patient presented a favorable clinical-radiological evolution.

Trend surface analysis Trend surface analysis is a mathematical technique used in environmental sciences (archeology, geology, soil science, etc.). Trend surface analysis (also called trend surface mapping) is a method based on low-order polynomials of spatial coordinates for estimating a regular grid of points from scattered observations - for example, from archeological finds or from soil survey.

Top-Cited Articles from Dental Education Journals, 2009 to 2018: A Bibliometric Analysis. The number of citations an article receives is an important indicator to quantify its influence in its field. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the characteristics of the 50 top-cited articles addressing dental education published in two journals dedicated to dental education (European Journal of Dental Education and Journal of Dental Education). The Web of Science database was searched to retrieve the 50 most-cited articles from the two journals in December 2018. The top-cited articles were analyzed for journal of publication, number of citations, institution and country of origin, year of publication, study type, keywords, theme and subtheme, and international collaborations. The results showed the 50 top-cited articles were cited between 24 and 146 times each. The majority of these top-cited articles (n=34) were published in the Journal of Dental Education Half (n=25) of the articles were by authors in the U.S. The most common study types were surveys (n=26) and reviews (n=10). The main themes of these top-cited articles were curriculum and learner characteristics. This bibliometric analysis can serve as a reference for recognizing studies with the most impact in the scholarship of dental education.

PITTSBURGH (BNW) —Sometimes having a Black on the jury can be as worse as having a racist white in that some of these niggers are so stupid that they will go along with the racist white jurors against their own people, and that gives legitimacy to an already corrupted criminal justice system. Most Blacks who sit on juries in this county will never challenge the majority of white jurors for fear of their bossman finding out how they voted, and as a result, losing their minimum wage jobs. And another reason some Blacks don't need to serve on juries is that too many so-called Blacks who may quality to serve on juries or either too old or so stupid, that they my vote an innocent Black man guilty when the racist white jurors want to set the innocent Black man free. This is because of the "Clarence Thomas" syndrome; this syndrome suggests that some stupid Blacks want to always show the white man that they can be just as hard on Blacks as racist whites. Let’s face it, this is true, and some of these niggers in our own race are just crazy as hell! However, pastors of 137 predominantly black churches in the Pittsburgh area are being asked to preach a new kind of sermon Sunday — urging Blacks to sign up for jury duty. The city chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People organized ``Jury Awareness Sunday'' after an 18-month study by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review found only 4 percent of Allegheny County's potential jurors are Black, even though Blacks account for 11 percent of the population. ``The whole point of having 12 people (judging a case) instead of one is that you get a combination of life experiences,'' said Beth Bochnak, a consultant with the National Jury Project, a consulting group that helps attorneys select juries. Pittsburgh ministers will be asking their congregations to take advantage of a process that allows anyone over 18 to sign up to be considered for jury duty. Methods elsewhere are not so simple. Experts say Pittsburgh's problem with Black underrepresentation is likely to occur almost anywhere with large concentrations of minorities because they're less likely to be included in databases commonly used to find jurors, such as voter and drivers' license rolls. The Constitution forbids race discrimination in jury selection, and minority advocates fear mostly white juries are less sympathetic to minority defendants than a more representative panel would be. Just because you may have a Black on your jury does not mean you will get justice in this country because there are many innocent Black men in prison today because a stupid ass nigger when along with a bunch of racist whites. In Texas, officials in Dallas, Austin and Houston are reporting underrepresentation of Hispanics in their juries, according to a study by the Dallas Morning News and the Southern Methodist University Law Review Association. Some states, including Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Indiana, use voter registration lists to find jurors. A February census report estimates 68 percent of Black adults were registered to vote in 2000 elections compared with 72 percent of non-Hispanic whites, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review report noted. Other states try to widen the jury pool by augmenting one database with another. For example, in Lake County, Ind. — where the population is 25 percent Black, although juries almost never reflect that — officials earlier this year began using drivers' license lists in addition to voter rolls. The databases themselves may contribute to the problem. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review study noted 100,000 jury questionnaires were sent out in Allegheny County to addresses culled from drivers' license and voting rolls — but officials don't buy change-of-address information. Census data shows Blacks are less likely than whites to own homes, and may be prone to move more often. Groups like the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights note that Blacks with felony records never make it onto voter rolls in states like Pennsylvania and Florida, where they are barred from registering to vote or serving as a juror. ``Nationally, 1.4 million Black men have lost the right to vote under these laws,'' the group said in a recent report. In many cases these men were innocent, and had a stupid ass nigger on their jury. William Spriggs, director of the National Urban League Institute for Opportunity and Equality, said states should at least consider letting ex-cons who've served their sentence automatically regain those rights. ``I think people might be surprised,'' Spriggs said. ``(Ex-con) jurors might be harsher'' than people without criminal records. Other experts say underrepresentation is both economic and personal. The Rev. Helen Burton, pastor of the Trinity AME Church in Pittsburgh, says some blacks fear jury service because they believe they are in some kind of trouble if they receive a jury notice. Others worry they could be targeted for retribution if they serve on a violent case, she said. People with lower incomes may also have more trouble leaving their jobs for jury duty. In Pennsylvania, jury pay is $9 a day for the first three days and $25 a day thereafter, and lower-income people are less likely to work for a big company that pays them when they're on jury duty. ``In neighborhoods where most people may work in service industries or fast food, to ask them to miss a week of work is like having pneumonia,'' Burton said. ``But in neighborhoods with people who have more access to money, it may be only like asking them to have a common cold.'' The issue of Black underrepresentation in jury pools generally revolves around what some national experts say is a more important question: What constitutes a jury of one's peers? ``It's not strictly accurate to say you're entitled to a jury of your peers,'' said University of Nebraska law professor David A. Harris, who researches legal diversity issues. ``You're entitled to a jury that represents a cross-section of your community.''

The word Irish journalist Caitriona Perry used to characterize her recent interaction with President Donald Trump in the Oval office was "bizarre." But for many of those who witnessed it, the president's behavior—in which he singled Perry out from a group of reporters on Tuesday by calling her "beautiful" with a "nice smile" and summoning her over to him as he spoke on the phone with Ireland's newly-elected Taoiseach (prime minister) Leo Varadkar—was not just strange, but "disgusting." Robert Mackey, writing for The Intercept, described it as a "textbook example of workplace harassment."

The twelfth photo is my favorite,beautiful boys.Call me whacky,but as long as a sexual relationship consists of consenting adults,whether related or not I don’t see a problem.I guess I’m just really really open minded,because I just don’t care. May 18, 2014 at 10:41 am · @Reply · petensfo Well, this entry seems to have some of the greatest diversity I’ve seen in.. forever… on a gay site. Seems to me, they look like a lot of gay couples. Whenever I see guys together that look so alike… I always think, “Hmm, wonder what he saw in him.” In the case of twinscest, we don’t have to wonder. May 18, 2014 at 10:47 am · @Reply · Blackceo I have to admit that this kind of thing doesn’t bother me and I find myself wondering if something is wrong with me that it doesn’t bother me because if a brother and sister were involved sexually I would not be cool with it and therefore it is a double standard. I remember a previous post about this that got over 130 responses had a lot of people who thought it was disgusting. I used to do sexual things with my cousin when we were younger up until about right before secondary school age, but as adults we haven’t spoken of it and never did anything once we got into secondary school. I think a lot of it is experimentation with someone you feel close to and who you know will keep the secret. But I still feel like its bad that this kind of thing actually turns me on. May 18, 2014 at 11:04 am · @Reply · BBellairs I don’t care if twin brothers want to have a sexual relationship, but it would be more fun if ANY of these twins wanted to have a sexual relationship with me! May 18, 2014 at 11:30 am · @Reply · mauikamaaina Your lead photo (and last in the set) are misleading and inaccurate. The guys are NOT twins. They are popular Brazilian male models Francisco Lachowski and Arthur Sales. Nevertheless…interesting (and hot) feature. Seems somewhat narcissistic yet I always say we usually try and hook up with someone that is in our minds at least 1 step up from ourselves. So, if I had a twin I’d fall in love with myself, cause I know myself better than anybody else and tired of feeling a failure in others eyes, yet knowing how great I can be. lol May 18, 2014 at 1:16 pm · @Reply · Black Pegasus LOL proof that ‘some’ groups of people believe all men of color look alike. The 4th photo features Eddie Diaz and Tyler Johnson. They are NOT twins! In fact, they look nothing alike. I saw that too and then remembered what site I was on and didn’t even feel like wasting the energy to type it. May 18, 2014 at 3:37 pm · @Reply · Billy Budd Very nice. If you guys haven’t heard about this yet, I will tell you the news: *B*E*L* A*M*I* and W*I*L*L*I*A*M* H*I*G*G*I*N*S* both have porn movies where twins go ALL THE WAY. May 18, 2014 at 4:31 pm · @Reply · Merv It’s weird that I have no problem with porn between identical twins, but between fraternal twins it would gross me out. May 18, 2014 at 5:40 pm · @Reply · Billy Budd I have a twin brother and I never felt attracted to him. It is a fetish many people have, to see two identical twins making out and doing it, but it is of course an unnatural thing. BTW, the two models with holding a sheet of paper (first photo) are Arthur Salles and Francisco Lachowsky. They are both gorgeous. The paper originally had the message “I love Made In Brazil” written in it. They are both Brazilian and were promoting a BLOG. May 18, 2014 at 5:51 pm · @Reply · Discodaddybob Gay to my hole!

The first black couple MAY be brothers OR fraternal twins, but they are NOT IDENTICAL twins! There are too many differences between the two men’s features, including facial complexion, head shape, ear size and design, lip color, nose (nostril sizes), and eye brows. Compare to the other sets of black twins, ALL of whose features are IDENTICAL!

That’s just a no-no : related people shouldn’t ever have (biological) kids together, it’s just wrong.

A man on a racist tirade against an Italian commuter was met with disgust by fellow commuters. In a video uploaded to social media to shame the potty-mouthed passenger, fellow travellers can be heard standing up for the victim. The London Underground passenger launched into a sickening racist rant at an Italian man sitting beside him – but he didn’t expect the usually subdued Tube passengers to stand up to him. While it is not clear what spurred the blue-capped man into spewing such hatred, it appears the presence of a foreigner may have set him off. “I’m sick of you c***s getting on the f******g train,” he can be heard saying in the nearly three-minute video. When the xenophobic man was challenged about his behavior by his fellow passengers, he became even angrier, despite protests from those around him that "there's children on the train." "My country, I'll say what I want,” he shouted, snapping the newspaper in his hands angrily and squaring up to those around him. One passenger can be seen sympathetically leading away the target of the abuse before the video ends. Social media exploded once the video went viral, with Twitter users denouncing the foul-mouthed man. The video, which was shared by self-described human rights group ShameArmy, was uploaded in an effort to reveal the shocking incident and to invite those with “good moral standards to denounce racism, sexism, bullying, theft, bigotry, anti-semitism, Islamophobia and any unlawful acts.” A spokesman for British Transport Police said they were investigating the incident as a "hate crime.” "The incident occurred on board a District Line service heading eastbound near Blackfriars at approximately 4.15pm the same day (January 12),” the spokesman said. "Anyone who was on board the train and witnessed what happened is asked to contact BTP by sending a text to 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 510 of 12/01/2018."

So, last night as I was washing the day off of my face and brushing my teeth before bed, I looked in the mirror and had this thought pop into my head, “Why do all of the articles with advice to spice up marriages always say that the women should pay a lot of attention to their grooming and how they dress?” What is UP with that?! Perhaps it was that I was standing there in my dressy t-shirt (it’s a thing… I have a bunch of them) and skinny jeans with my hair pulled up and awry and a toothbrush clenched in my fist as I attempted to remove the remaining traces of a black bean brownie from my maw, but… why is the primping left up to the women in the relationship? I have yet to read an article that gives a tip telling the men that they should maybe think about dressing in something other than a ratty-ass t-shirt with pizza grease stains and jeans slung down past their drawers. Want to know what is sexy? Using a tissue, or gods forbid a handkerchief, and NOT “snorking” that wad of snot up your nose. Want to know what else is sexy? Putting some thought into what you wear in public. That wife-beater that shows off your back hair? Not sexy. Why not try a nice pair of jeans, some dressy shoes and a nice shirt; I’m not talking tuxedos here. I finished my what-had-become-aggressive scrubbing of my teeth and went to bed. When I woke up, I still essentially had this same “bug up my ass” about why the onus to look like we’re “trying” is always put upon the shoulders of women. Fuck that. I put on my jeans, tank top, flips flops and do-rag (not ratty, not stained and I coordinated). My face was scrubbed, moisturized, sunscreened and BB-creamed and a little dab of mascara applied along with my favorite Chicken Poop lip balm (seriously… I love this stuff). My hair combed and braided. That was my effort for the day. It wasn’t over the top, but it wasn’t bare minimum either. You don’t like it? TOO BAD! I dress how I want for myself and nobody else. Hmm, I felt a little bit of Eric Cartman coming on for a moment and was about to shout out, “Whatevah! I can do what I want!” Yeah! What Cartman says! I posed my observation and questions to Mr. Muse this morning on the commute into work and he suggested that perhaps it was a throw-back to when women were expected to be dressed nicely all the time and dote on their men (or catch a man) and the men could gallivant about the town whenever they wanted. So, what say you? Have you read articles on relationships where they suggest “keeping up appearances” for both men and women or just the women? Why do you think that the obligation is put upon women more than men? Ladies, do you feel it’s your responsibility to be dressed to the nine’s at all times, or is it more of a responsibility to dress how you choose and be comfortable? The people who write the articles that say it’s all on the woman to make the effort subscribe to this pseudo-science philosophy: Women are naturally monogamous. Men are naturally non-monogamous. It’s because of evolution and a need to continue the species. They can’t help it. So if the women want their men to be monogamous, the onus is on them to be perfect and stunning in every way so as to overwhelm their men’s natural inclinations. I do not see a reason why it would have to be different for women. I do recognize that there is more pressure for women than men. Traditionally women would use their looks to attract men and men would show they could be good providers. That is not necessarily how it works nowadays but it may have to do with what your are pointing out. I’m motivated to make the world look beyond the physical – women have damned amazing minds and they’re being overlooked because of their trappings. I wish I could say that was no longer the case in 2013, but it is. I definitely don’t feel the need to dress up for my man all the time, but I do get considerably annoyed with the fact that it takes me 2 to 3 times longer to get ready… And yes, I think there are 10x more articles telling that to women, because they listen, and men, well men don’t. But I do often wonder, why is it that when I, and also when most women, take off my minimal makeup, I look less “polished” in the skin department than most men. Is the makeup (tinted moisturizer usually) causing this? Is female skin that much thinner that it breaks down considerably more when it’s dehydrated, over-sunned, or sleepy? Is this why I “need” to get “dressed up”; because without the minimal coverage & mascara, I look considerably more worn down than my male counterpart? Those are good questions! I think what we look like on the outside has to do with what we put on the inside. I have dry, yet oily, skin and large pores. I have acne scars and dark spots. I, personally, don’t care to look at those things, but then there are days where I think, “You know what… they tell your story.” Then I don’t worry about them. I do, however, find that my skin looks better when I haven’t been subjecting myself to lots of makeup and keeping myself well-hydrated with H2O.

GAME 105: A Split With Sh*t The Cardinals limped to a series tie with tonight’s awful 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros. Bad pitching from Jaime Garcia, bad defense, clueless hitting. What a wasted opportunity! THE MACHING: Albert Pujols had a big night tonight, with a couple of doubles and a brazen steal of third base (he looked like a steroided Vince Coleman). He drove in Jon Jay (after Jay doubled) with a beautiful opposite-field double to drive in the Cards’ third run of the game. Albert is looking better and better all the time. Barring injury, he will easily reach the 100th RBI plateau for the 10th straight year – remarkable. NO PLACE LIKE JAIME: Jaime Garcia had a rare struggle at home tonight. The tantalizing lefty has a sub-2.00 ERA this year at Busch Stadium, so one would imagine that Garcia would be a favorite going against the Astros at home. Unfortunately, Garcia’s changeups kept floating belt-high, and were so hittable that even the incompetent Astros lineup couldn’t miss them. The real gut punch was a sixth-inning homer by Carlos Lee when Jaime should’ve been taken out already. One has to imagine that Garcia is going to put together a solid and consistent season of brilliance at some point, but he’s not there yet. PAT ON THE BACK: Former Cub Corey Patterson made a nice impression in his Cardinals debut, stroking a single to right to drive in Gerald Laird for the first run. Don’t expect those results very often. ERROR PRONE: Tonight the only thing distinguishing the play of the Cardinals and the last-place Astros were their uniforms. There isn’t this much incompetence in retard porn. The Astros booted the ball around in the second on a hit by Corey Patterson that led to two runs. Meanwhile, Jaime Garcia tossed the ball in the dirt and catcher Tony Cruz couldn’t find it, allowing dishwasher-sized Carlos Lee to chug all the way to third base and score on a fly ball. Later, David Freese and Cruz (again) misplayed balls that gave Houston the lead in the fifth. Which begs this question: Does anyone know how to play defense anymore?? CHRONIC PAIN: What the hell is wrong with the Cardinals? Have they been cursed? Is Voldemort working on their road crew?? Tonight the Cards had two players join the injured reserves – Nick Punto strained an oblique (of course!), and Laird sprained his little finger on his catching hand. In the eighth Tony Cruz went down as well. You can add them to a list that includes Eduardo Sanchez and Adam Wainwright. We’ve had more injuries than the North at the Battle of Antietam. If I was TLR, I would check everybody’s bag for that little Tiki statue from that Hawaiian episode of TheBrady Bunch. PUNTO WATCH: I just wanted to highlight Punto for one reason: what is this guy made of?? A tenderly-whipped meringue shows more toughness than Punto, who regularly collapses in agony when gently stroked by a warm summer breeze. A Care Bear’s ballsack could resist injury easier than Nick Punto. I’ve heard rumors that the guy is an incredible glove-man, but given the fact that Punto has only managed to play about three innings this year, I’d say the jury is still out on his contributions. R-ZEP: Marc Rzepczynski made his his Cardinals debut in the seventh inning, and showed off the kind of stuff that make men and boys dream about October miracles. He recorded four strikeouts in two innings. I haven’t seen a left-handed reliever with an arsenal this vicious since Ken Dayley first came trotting in from right field during a double switch in 1985. Note to Prince Fielder, Ryan Howard, and Big Papi: we now have a weapon that will take you out of the equation. BEWARE THE ZEP. PLAYER OF THE GAME: R-Zep!! What a debut!! CONCLUSION: This was one of the sloppier games of the year for the Cards. No life, no intensity, no game plan. You’d think they’d be energized to be rid of the “clubhouse cancer” Colby Rasmus, but the opposite has been true. Very disappointing considering this is a pretty bad Astros team and the Cards squandered a golden opportunity to gain some ground.

Translation: crazy Crevos find something they don’t want to believe, come up with cockamamie theories that only other dumb crevos believe. Thereby sentencing anyone educated by or around crevos to further ignorance and making crevo areas even greater economic backwaters. Homosexuality is a religion. It is a fetish... an idolatry of perversion. Excuse me if I refuse to bend my knee in acquiescence. The same can be said for the temple of evolutionism. The notion that children need to be indoctrinated and badgered into thinking a certain way is the insecurity of adults, a universal dissatisfaction with mortality reaching out for an eternal ideal. Whether this is done by atheists or by the religious, it is exactly the same ecclesiasticism. Man did not come from apes... Man supposedly came from a common ancestor - the “missing link” Louis Leaky searched Oldavai Gorge 30 years in vain for. But, the singularity of all life is the DNA molecule. All living things have it. Like the singularity of the “big bang” theory, evolutionists make the inadvertent admission life is some sort of immaculate conception... Evolution, the theory, is called more properly “The Origin of Species.” That was Darwin’s title. Evolution requires change over a period of time. Time then, by deductive reasoning must have a beginning. The flaw in evolutionists’ logic is that life did not come from the earth, because the earth came from somewhere else as well. Life also came from somewhere else... “Translation: crazy Crevos find something they don’t want to believe, come up with cockamamie theories that only other dumb crevos believe.

In addition to ethanol, this system can be activated by acetaldehyde, described as the physiological inducer in A. nidulans. Here, we show that in contrast to ethanol, acetaldehyde allows tissue-specific activation of the alc promoter in transgenic tobacco plants. Soil drenching with aqueous acetaldehyde solutions at a concentration of 0.05% (v/v) resulted in the rapid and temporary induction of the alc gene expression system exclusively in roots. In addition, the split root system allows activation to be restricted to the treated part of the root. The temporary activation of the alc system by soil drenching with acetaldehyde could be prolonged over several weeks by subsequent applications at intervals of 7 d. This effect was demonstrated for the root-specific induction of a yeast-derived apoplast-located invertase under the control of the alcohol-inducible promoter system. In leaves, which exhibit a lower responsiveness to acetaldehyde than roots, the alc system was induced in the directly treated tissue only. Thus, acetaldehyde can be used as a local inducer of the alc gene expression system in tobacco plants.

Tomi Joutsen Tomi Joutsen (born 30 April 1975) is a Finnish musician, perhaps best known as the vocalist/frontman of the heavy metal band Amorphis (2005–), although also a member of other metal bands including Corpse Molester Cult (2008-), as their guitarist and backing vocalist, and Hallatar (2017-), as their vocalist. He was formerly the vocalist for the bands Käsi / Funeral Jacket (1995-1999) and Nevergreen / Sinisthra (2002-2008) and the drummer for the bands The Candles Burning Blue and Feelings. Joutsen performs both harsh and clean vocals, a contrast to the more traditional heavy metal and punk rock-style high-pitched vocals of the previous Amorphis singer, Pasi Koskinen. Joutsen's voice style is very deep, similar to gothic metal vocals in the vein of Nick Holmes' from Paradise Lost and Peter Steele of Type O Negative.

De-Escalation and Discontinuation of Empirical Antibiotic Treatment in a Cohort of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients during the Pre-Engraftment Period. To investigate rates and outcomes of antibiotic de-escalation during pre-engraftment neutropenia in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. 110 consecutive HSCTs performed between January 2013 and March 2014 were analyzed. De-escalation was defined as narrowing the spectrum of antibiotic treatment either within (early) or after 96 hours (late) from starting antibiotics. Discontinuation, considered a form of de-escalation, was defined as stopping antibiotics before engraftment. De-escalation failure was defined as restarting/escalating antibiotics within 96 hours after de-escalation. Predictors of de-escalation were analyzed. Among 102 patients who started antibiotics and were included, 68 (67%) received monotherapy (mainly piperacillin-tazobactam, n = 58), whereas 34 (33%) received combination therapy (mainly meropenem plus glycopeptide, n = 24). Median duration of neutropenia was 17 days. Bloodstream infections (BSIs) were diagnosed in 28 patients (20%). Early de-escalation rate was 25.5% (n = 26) and mostly consisted of reducing the spectrum of β-lactams (n = 11, 42%). In comparison with theoretical scenario of continuing therapy until engraftment, the median savings in terms of antibiotic days were 10 for meropenem, 8 for piperacillin-tazobactam, and 7 for vancomycin. Failure rate of early de-escalation was 15% (4/26). Late de-escalation rate was 30.4% (n = 31) and failure rate 19% (6/31). The rate of de-escalation any time before engraftment was 55.9% (n = 57), including discontinuation in 33 patients (32%). Death at day 60 after HSCT occurred in 3 patients who never underwent de-escalation. Acute myeloid disease and BSIs were independent predictors of early de-escalation. De-escalation, including discontinuation, is feasible and safe in pre-engraftment neutropenia after allogeneic HSCT.

Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline (German: "From The Curb To The Skyline") is the first studio album by Bushido. It released on July 14, 2003 by independent label Aggro Berlin. The album was later indexed by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons due to the controversial lyrics. The album reached #88 in the German Media Control Charts. It was entirely produced by Bushido and DJ Ilan. Indexing The youth welfare office from Trier-Saarburg proposed online on April 6, 2005 for indexing the album. In addition, Bushido and Aggro Berlin intervened prior to the meeting and argued with art freedom. The songs "Eine Kugel reicht", "Tempelhof Rock", "Dreckstück" and "Pussy" have been indexed. The lyrics of these songs contain discriminatory passages towards homosexuals, disabled people and women. Following text passage in "Dreckstück" has been heavily criticized (translated from German into English): "Only because you are a woman and can get fucked in the stomach, do not mean that I can't beat you up until you are blue". The song lyrics are mostly about violence, crime, sexism and discrimination. On 30 September 2005 the album was indexed by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons. Since then it is not allowed to sell the album to people below the age of 18. Legacy The album applied besides Carlo, Cokxxx, Nutten as one of the influential German speaking gangsta rap album. It achieved the breakthrough to the German gangsta rap and also for Aggro Berlin. Bushido's album was the first one of the label, that entered the German Charts, reaching place 88. This album was also Bushido's last releases over Aggro Berlin. He only worked for the last time with the label on Aggro Ansage Nr. 3. Later it cames to disputes with the three bosses Spaiche, Halil and Spaiche. In 2004 he left the label and started his own career by forming label ersguterjunge. Afterwards there follows several successful records including Electro Ghetto (2004) and Staatsfeind Nr. 1 (2005). For many fans applied Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline as Bushido's best record album and is constituted as "milestone" in German hip hop history. In 2011, fellow German rapper Casper named Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline in an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung as "one of the most important German rap records of all time". Lead vocalist of band Kraftklub, Felix Brummer named the album in an interview with 16Bars hostess Visa Vie, as one of the five most influential German rap albums of all time.

Archaeologists find remains of Jewish town in the Galilee. Town dates back to times of Second Temple. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of the ancient Jewish village of Sichin in the Galilee. The village was found near the northern edge of the Tzipori national park. The discovery was made by a team led by Dr. Mordechai Aviam of the Galilee Archaeological Institute at the Kinneret academic college. The village of Sichin was mentioned by the ancient scholar Josephus (Yosef Ben-Matityahu) as one of the first Jewish towns established in the Galilee in the times of the Second Temple. The village was later mentioned in the Talmud (Gemara) as one of the Jewish villages near Tzipori. Archaeologists found evidence of a synagogue at the site, as well as many pottery fragments and other items confirming historians’ reports of pottery production in the village. “Those of us at the dig were very surprised to find seven stone molds for the creation of pottery holders for wax candles,” said Dr. Aviam. “One of the fragments was decorated with a menorah and palm [lulav] fronds.” The dig will continue, he said, with an emphasis on uncovering more of the synagogue, pottery workshops and homes.

Q: Htaccess redirect not invisible I've done many htaccess redirects, but for some reason this one doesn't redirect the subdomain to a subfolder. RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^((?!www\.)(.+)|(?:www\.)(.+))\.(timseverien\.nl)$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+) RewriteRule .? /subdomains/%2%3%5 [L] When it redirects I can see /subdomains/x/ in my url bar which I don't want. The reason I have this in my htaccess is because my dearest host is a complete fuckup considering domains and subdomains. So, my question is: Why is the redirect visible and what can I do to change it? A: The problem wasn't in the .htaccess, but in the DNS of my host. I'm moving the first of November!

Small lymph nodes of the abdomen, pelvis, and retroperitoneum: usefulness of sonographically guided biopsy. To evaluate the usefulness of sonographically guided percutaneous biopsy of small lymph nodes in the abdomen, retroperitoneum, and pelvis. From May 1995 through January 1997, 35 sonographically guided lymph node biopsies were performed in 34 patients. All biopsies were performed with a 20- (n = 18) or 22-gauge (n = 10) self-aspirating needle alone or in combination (n = 7). To determine the amount of compression achieved with the transducer, the skin-to-lesion distance on reference computed tomographic (CT) scans was compared with that on sonograms. A biopsy was considered successful if a specific benign or malignant diagnosis was rendered by the pathologist. Of 35 sonographically guided biopsies, 30 (86%) were successful. Diagnoses included 26 (74%) cases of carcinoma, three (9%) cases of benign reactive lymphocytosis confirmed at open biopsy, and one (3%) case of a lymph node with a positive acid-fast bacilli stain. The average lymph node diameter was 2.1 cm (range, 0.9-4.3 cm). With sonography, a mean of 2.5 needle passes (range, 1-5) were made per biopsy. Transducer compression reduced the skin-to-lesion distance from an average of 8.8 cm (at CT) to 4.5 cm. Sonographic guidance seems to provide a reasonable alternative to CT in biopsy of small abdominal, pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

It is raining cats and dogs. I am in no mood to go outside, so I thought you might like a little surprise….in my toilet. Always one of my favorite places to play. My black dress is so tight you can seem my garter belt and panties, and it has sheer side panels that always attract attention. And I am wearing thigh high lace up leather hooker boots. I know how much you like to watch….so lie down, and watch me strap on a dildo, and jerk off over top of you with my huge dick and black lingerie. You know you want to cum….and so do I. This is my newest update for November 27, 2017 and you can see a free video by clicking here. This is a FFstockings update and you can see a free video by clicking here.

Boasting – But boasting about my failings? 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 05/10/2013 Sabbath Mornings at Ballymacashon 6th October 2013 Reluctant Boasting Text: 2nd Corinthians 11:16-33 The hyper-apostles at Corinth were very self-sufficient. They were all about POWER and APPEARANCE and PASSIONATE ORATORY and SPEECH. They were always well dressed, always excellent in speech, always with impeccable credentials! Paul has already reminded us that we must judge preachers by their message, rather than by their appearance, or their credentials. So Paul makes reference to the hyper-apostles again! Firstly see… 1. Paul’s Cynical Remarks! For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face. To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold—I speak foolishly—I am bold also. Firstly, they have said that Paul is just a fool. So Paul asks them to bear with him in his foolishness! I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little. (He has said that what he is speaking he is speaking as a fool, – in this literary device he is very careful to imply no foolishness upon the Saviour. What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.) Now, these people boast in their own great learning, so surely they can put up with a fool for a little longer. (That’s what clever people like the Corinthians do with fools – they just put up with them – they just about tolerate them) For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise! Now at this point you can see the sarcasm in Paul’s remarks! So Paul then does something surprising. “These men love to boast, well, I’m going to do some boasting.” But Paul’s boast will be most unusual… 2. Paul’s Reluctant Boast! Now let’s examine Paul’s boast … The privileges of his birth! Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. It would seem from this that the false apostles were of the Jewish race, who gave disturbance to the Gentile converts. The fact of his apostleship! Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more He makes mention also of his apostleship, that he was more than an ordinary minister of Christ. The account of his suffering for Christ! Paul had been beaten more than the hyper-apostles ever had! in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one.Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned Paul had more travel mishaps than the hyper apostles had! three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers. Paul had more enemies than the hyper-apostles had! in perils of my own countrymen He was constantly in danger from the Jews, who would gladly have had him put to death! in perils of the Gentiles The Gentiles too sought Paul’s life. in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea It didn’t matter whether he was in the city, or in the country, or even out on the high seas he could never relax, knowing that someone was always out to do him harm. in perils among false brethren Even the church Paul wasn’t safe! There were false brethren who would have denounced him and had him punished or murdered. Paul was physically spent, unlike the hyper-apostles! in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— Paul was endlessly concerned about the church! He spent sleepless nights worrying about the young converts in the churches, desiring their spiritual growth! besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. He feels the weakness of the Christians, and when one stumbles it burns him up inside. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? Now, what do you think about Paul’s boast? Now why is Paul saying all this:- 3. Paul’s Complete Dependency! Paul boasts in his weaknesses! If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying, because when he realises that he is weak, that he is not self sufficient, that his thought processes are tainted by human sinfulness and pride – that’s when he realises that his sufficiency is of the Lord! The most dangerous thong for a Christian is to accept the new-age, kind of message, and to think, ‘I’m OK on my own. I have enough self confidence, self awareness, self sufficiency, I have my own inner strength, and that can get me though any situation. Christians must be dependent upon the Lord! There is an interesting story at the end of the chapter, which seems to be a random thought that Paul has suddenly remembered. In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me; but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands. Soon after his conversion, when he was in Damascus, Paul was in great danger. Paul writes, “Here’s what happened. Some friends tied ropes to a big basket, and they lowered me over the wall in the basket, and I ran away!” Do you see… Paul, like us, is just a weak, human individual, not a mighty spiritual superman.

"One time I actually used it for defense. I pulled into my garage and I heard men in my house. And I was like, 'I'm not letting them take my stuff. I had just gotten back from training, so I had the bow and arrows in the back of my car," she told Vanity Fair's February 2013 issue. "I went to my car and I put this quiver on me and I had my bow and I loaded it and I'm walking up the stairs. And I look, and my patio doors were open, and there were guys working right there, and I was like, 'Heyyy, how you doin'?'" she recalled. Luckily, the 22-year-old didn't have to fire off any shots - something that disappointed her friends. "They were like, 'We've got to stage someone to break into your house and you can kill them!' That would be the funniest news ever. Katniss Everdeen actually kills someone with a bow and arrow!" she continued. The actress, who is garnering award season buzz for her role in "Silver Lining Playbook," isn't afraid to call out the thing that has made her a star. "Not to sound rude, but [acting] is stupid," the actress told the mag "Everybody's like, 'How can you remain with a level head?' And I'm like, 'Why would I ever get cocky? I'm not saving anybody's life. There are doctors who save lives and firemen who run into burning buildings. I'm making movies. It's stupid.'"
