|Marginal Tax Rate
Texas has no state-level income taxes, although the Federal income tax still applies to income earned by Texas residents. You can use the tax estimator below to calculate your federal tax liabilities.
Your 2015 income tax return was due on April 15th, 2016. The IRS will soon be accepting tax returns, so you can start your online tax return today for free with TurboTax.
You can use the income tax estimator to the left to calculate your approximate Texas and Federal income tax based on the most recent tax brackets.
Keep in mind that this estimator assumes all income is from wages, assumes the standard deduction, and does not account for tax credits.
For a more detailed estimate that takes these factors into account, click "View Detailed Estimate" (this will will redirect to an external website).Deductions
When calculating your Texas income tax, keep in mind that the Texas state income tax brackets are only applied to your adjusted gross income (AGI) after you have made any qualifying deductions.
Qualifying deductions might include an itemized deduction, the Texas standard deduction, exemptions for dependants, business expenses, etc.
Remember that Texas may have very different deduction laws from the Federal Income Tax, so you may have to write a whole new list of deductions for your Texas income tax return.

Extras B-
starring Charles Chaplin, Martha Raye, Marilyn Nash, Isobel Elsom
screenplay by Charles Chaplin, based on an idea by Orson Welles
directed by Charles Chaplin
by Bryant Frazer Charles Chaplin augmented his trademark mix of physical comedy, sweetness, and lefty politics with a dose of suspense (borrowed, probably, from Hitchcock) and a sardonic worldview (informed, maybe, by film noir) in the playful, funny, but ultimately downbeat Monsieur Verdoux. In a scenario that originated with Orson Welles, who receives an "idea" credit, Henri Verdoux is a serial killer based on Henri Landru, a French Bluebeard who seduced, married, and then murdered a string of Parisian women in order to liberate their assets. Chaplin plays Verdoux as a charming fiend whose demeanour incorporates the barest echo of the Little Tramp, but whose murderous M.O. recalled the director's own reputation as a womanizer.

I liked how this one turned out, it is unfinished (the N looks a bit like an R) maybe i'll go back and finish it later.
anyway, its all hand drawn type, then edited in illustrator. Do you see the music note?

Olveston was built between 1904 and 1906 for the Theomin
family and given to Dunedin in 1966 by Dorothy Theomin.
''It's a really beautiful park and it's lovely to see it
being used,'' Olveston manager Jeremy Smith said yesterday.
''This is just a bit of fun and, if it goes well, we'll do it
again. It gives people a chance to dress up. There's such a
wonderful elegance to the era.''
He said people could bring their picnic hampers and rugs and
set up on the lawn.
''We want Dunedin people to know about Olveston, so they'll
tell visitors how fabulous the house is,'' Mr Smith said.
There is a $5 gate charge to the party that runs 11am to 3pm.

SME is unleashing its breadth and depth of manufacturing content into a powerful, user-friendly, 24-7 online resource. Everything you want to know about manufacturing is available when you want it, where you want it.
NOW AVAILABLE! The former Tool & Manufacturing Engineer's Handbook (TMEH) has been digitized and is now available in a new peer-reviewed and validated WIKI environment.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 2, 2012 — Stratasys, a manufacturer of additive manufacturing machines for prototyping and producing plastic parts, and the U.S. Department of Energy at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have collaborated to develop a fused deposition modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing technology. The partnership leverages the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility of ORNL to promote energy efficient production by employing additive manufacturing processes and materials. The joint project focuses on two major objectives: one is to develop in-process inspection for FDM systems that assure quality of parts and appropriateness for service, and the other one is to develop carbon fiber-reinforced feedstock materials to create strong, lightweight parts. The overall aim of the project is to minimize the energy consumption in the U.S. industry, commercialize innovative products rapidly and improve the worldwide competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. In addition to decreasing energy usage through development of lightweight transportation vehicles, the additive manufacturing technology is highly efficient than traditional manufacturing processes such as machining production tools or machining parts. Benefits of the additive or 3-D printing process are decreased energy impact of manufacturing, reduced warehouse and transportation costs, minimum investments in metal tooling and reduced waste streams. The process deposits material only in areas where it is required to create a part. Jeff DeGrange, vice president of direct digital manufacturing at Stratasys, noted that the joint effort with ORNL offers a significant opportunity, mainly in the automotive and aerospace industries, to bring high-performance, lightweight products into the market rapidly and at lower costs.

Complex of the old houses which Velagic family ownes, built in the 17th century, is the one of the most beautiful monuments of oriental architecture in Herzegovina. In a special ambient , the complex represents extraordinary structure of architecture of living, which respects the tradition of that ancient time.
Reconstruction of the Old Bridge thanks God, started two years ago and it will be finished in 2004. Some of the parts were found in Neretva and some will be make new.
For a first time, the Bridge will be reconstructed and that the towers. From the Auxiliary bridge you can watch hard work on reconstruction.
The reconstruction is finished as you can see on my pictures.
As we didn't find rooms in Mostar, we had to stay in Medjugorje for some meeting in Mostar. But it was OK because it is not too far from Mostar. Just 30 km. And it was the great experience for me to see the place where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in 1981, even if my religion doesn't recognize it. Millions of people, from all over the world, have visited Medjugorje and have left spiritually strengthened and renewed.
On the Neretva's left river bank, 50 meters northerly of Kujundziluk, Koski-Mehmed Pasha built a mosque in 1617. Koskin-Mehmed Pasha's mosque has nice doom and it's the single one mosque in Mostar with preserved original wall paint and decorations. In spite of protection under UNESCO, in 1993 its minaret is demolished while court-yard and doom are partly damaged. Today, it s almost all repaired. Entrance is free.
A view from the east bank
The Lucki Bridge, "the closest southern neighbor" of the Old Bridge was built in 1900. Destroyed in this war, it has not been reconstructed yet.
Distroyed hotel
One more building from Austro-Hungarian time is hotel "Neretva". It is situated on east bank of the same-name river, just across hotel "Bristol". Unfortunately this master-piece of Austro-Hungarian architecture is destroyed in last war and it is not renovated yet.
Santiceva Ulica (Santic Street) is location where the worst battle took place. There is still lot of ruins in it. It was separation line between east (Muslim's) and west (Croat's) part of Mostar.
In front of entrance
Catholics Monastery of Saint Peter and Paul is located in south part of the west Mostar. The bell tower is dominated building in Mostar. Almost from every part of the city, including the east side, you can see the bell tower. I don't from which time is dated, but it looks brand new. Maybe it is new or it's renovated.
A view from my car
Buildings from Austro-Hungarian period give special charm to architectonic wealth of Mostar. In 1878 Bosnia and Herzegovina was annexed to Austro-Hungarian empire. There is a whole range of interesting buildings from that time.
One of them is the Old Gymnasium situated on Spanish Square, just by separation line from the last war. It was built in 1898 according to outline scheme of architect Blazek, with facade rich in Moresque elements. The Gymnasium was destroyed in last war but is still looks nice.
Address: Spanish Square, west Mostar
Croat House "Herceg Stjepan Kosaca"
The place where most of cultural events take place in western Mostar is Hrvatski Dom "Herceg Stjepan Kosaca" (Croat House). Almost every day there are some galleries, music performances or literal evenings.

The city state of Singapore is expanding in numerous ways, from its famous skyline to the ambitions of its people. Monocle's Jason Li reflects on the past, present and possible future of the nation he calls home.
Most people would agree that turning 49 years old puts you firmly in the middle-aged category but not when it comes to nation-building. The country of my birth, Singapore, hits this milestone this month – not quite an adult…

Prix Louis Delluc (Best First Film) and two nominations for the 2010 César awards. Deconstructed film that can be compared to Alejandro González Iñárritu's works. Fascinating. A DVD zone can't wait for her second movie.

Kemba was the TOUGHEST to defend college player last year. Took hits on offense and still finished and he also had an unguardable stepback jumper. He was also quick so he could get around players easily.
i would choose kemba over jimmer cause he is a better all around player BUT i do like that jimmer can score from anywhere on the court
jimmer all the way! He is 2 inches taller, 15 or 20 pounds heavier. Jimmer has wicked range. How many 26 ft shots did you see kemba pull up for and make? He is agile enough that he could learn to be a good defender. Along with avg 28.9 points, he avg 4.3 dishes a game.
But he only averages 3 rebounds. So much for being 2 inches taller. By the way, Kemba averages 5 rebounds.
Jimmer and Kemba both averaged the same amount of assists and Jimmer had 5 or 6 more points
Kemba Walker for me.
They were both pretty good college players. Jimmer is stronger than Kemba and has unlimited range. Shooting translates to the NBA. He shoots deep too. But, defenders are bigger, athletic, and quicker. It's up to see how playing with Tyreke Evans works out with him and see how hard he works on his defense.
Kemba is smaller, but he finds ways to score. I say he's in the CP3 mold. But, we'll see. He's a competitor, he loves the game.
They both have solid work ethics, and a will to hit big shots. Soo, we'll have to see how they adjust.

FULLER COWLES--Sage. Dancer, philanthropist, activist, and educator, died on November 21, 2013 in Minneapolis, MN. She was 88. A devoted mother of four, Sage was best known for her support of contemporary dance artists. Sage was a longtime board member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Co., toured as a guest artist in the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company's production "Last Supper at Uncle Tom's Cabin/The Promised Land," and earned a Lifetime Achievement "Ernie" Award from Dance/USA in 2004. Sage was preceded in death by her husband, John Cowles, Jr., former CEO of Cowles Media Co. and publisher of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Sage was born on May 5, 1925, in Paris, to Jane Sage White (sculptor) and Charles Fairchild Fuller (architect). She attended Rippowam School in Bedford Village, NY. After her parents divorced, her mother married publisher Cass Canfield who later became President of Harper and Row. Sage spent the summers of 1936 and 1937 at Perry Mansfield Camp, rooming with actress Julie Harris. Through the late 1930's and early 40's she received dance training from Hanya Holm, Louis Horst, Ella Daganova, Louise Kloepper, The Ned Wayburn School of Dance, The School of American Ballet and Lisa Gardiner's School of Ballet. In 1943 she met Merce Cunningham, who became a life-long friend and inspiration. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a B.A. in Art History. A student of Margaret H'Doubler, Sage was also a member of the Wisconsin Dance Group, which included Mary Hinkson, Matt Turney and Miriam Cole. She married Dr. Edmundo Flores in 1946; the marriage ended in divorce in 1950. In 1950, while a dancer on Broadway's "Bless You All" and on TV's "Lucky Strike Hit Parade," Sage met John Cowles, Jr. Two years later the couple married and moved to Kansas, where John was in the Army at Ft. Riley. After moving to Minneapolis in 1953, Sage danced with the Nancy Hauser Contemporary Dance Co., the Joan Skinner Dance Co. and co-founded the Dancers' Forum. Sage also turned her attention to social and civic causes. In 1959 she co-founded the Highcroft Country Day School. During the 1960's she became active in civil rights advocacy with "The Way," Planned Parenthood and the Minneapolis Mayor's Commission on Human Relations. In the 1970's Sage served on the Three School Foundation Board that implemented the merger of Highcroft, Northrop and Blake schools. Interested in body/mind disciplines, Sage became involved with dance therapy and worked with autistic children at Washburn Child Guidance Center. She served as the Movement Coordinator to the Reflective Leadership program at the
University of Minnesota
and developed her personal workshops "Use of Movement as a Teaching Tool" and "I Can, I Can Choose, and I Can Change." In 2005-2006 Sage was awarded a Louis W. Hill Jr. Philanthropy Fellowship by the U of MN and authored "Getting Ahead of the Curve: Engaging Our Youngest Citizens," calling for movement training as part of early childhood education. From 1976-1983 she collaborated with filmmaker Molly Davies on six film/performance pieces which toured throughout the United States and Europe. "Those pieces were so ahead of their time in the 1970's with the mix of media and live performance," recalls Philip Bither, performing arts curator, Walker Art Center. In 2005 Sage performed the retrospective "Space, Time and Illusion: Sage Cowles and Molly Davies, at Dance Theater Workshop and the Walker. Sage received grants from the NEA (1979), Jerome Foundation (1980) and Affiliated State Arts Agencies of the Upper Midwest (1981, 1982) for her work. She was part of "A Celebration of Collaborations" (1980) in Minneapolis and performed in the Walker Art Center's "New Dance USA" (1981). She choreographed Suzanne Lacey's "Whispers" (1987), taught "Dance for Non-Dancers" at the Minneapolis YWCA and Metro State University and helped found the Minnesota Independent Chor-eographers Association. During 1990-92 Sage and John toured the USA and Europe as guest artists in the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Co. production "Last Supper at Uncle Tom's Cabin/The Promised Land." Sage served for 29 years, over five decades, as a Board member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Co., including as Co-Chair from 2000-2004. Sage supported the multidisciplinary exhibition Art Performs Life in 1998 at the Walker, which featured the work of Cunningham, Meredith Monk and Bill T. Jones. She helped to secure the Merce Cunningham Dance Co.'s 15-plus engagements in Minnesota, as well as to bring Cunningham and John Cage's monumental work-in-the-round "Ocean" to a granite quarry near St. Cloud, MN in 2008. During the late 1980's and '90's Sage was a competitive racewalker, setting two U.S. records in her age group and she then became an aerobics instructor. In 1997 Sage teamed with her husband and children to launch a new professional women's fastpitch softball league and later Sage and John made the lead gift for the U of MN's Jane Sage Cowles Stadium for fastpitch. The league continues today as National Pro Fastpitch. In 2001 the Ordway Center honored Sage with a Sally Award for her decades-long support of the arts. In 2005 the annual Sage Awards for Dance were created to honor her extensive contributions. And in 2011, after fourteen years of planning and fundraising, Sage helped launch the Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts, giving Minnesota its long-awaited flagship for dance. Sage is survived by her four children, ten grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. A memorial celebration will be held on April 5, at 1:30pm, at the Cowles Center in Minneapolis.

Trying to add these to my designs more often when I hand them over to developers. I learned though that it's best to avoid uneven numbers as they won't scale down correctly on non-retina devices, so 15px is 7.5 points which is fine on a retina device but not on a non-retina device as it's half a pixel...

Last Night's GOP Debate
It is hard to discern a clear winner in last night's GOP debate in New Hampshire. Michelle Bachmann did very well in her premiere performance, Newt Gingrich was able to appear as a very intelligent, thinking man's candidate (which he is) instead of as a bumbling manager whose campaign is imploding (which he also is), and Mitt Romney looked presidential, whatever that means.
What was more obvious were the losers: Tm Pawlenty, Herman Cain, Catholic social teaching, the 14th Amendment, and non-voodoo economics.

Reba McEntire funnels experience into 'All the Women I Am'
Published: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 9:48 a.m.
Reba McEntire might have headed into CMA Awards season touting a new holiday collection, had Beyonce's influence not intervened.
The country singer covered R&B/pop star Beyonce's hit "If I Were A Boy" on CMT's "Unplugged" in May, and the fan response was so overwhelming that McEntire scrapped Christmas album plans to focus on a new country studio album, with "Boy" included.
The change in album plans, McEntire said, was pretty seamless - after 35 years in country music, she's learned to be prepared.
"I already had a bunch of songs selected for the new album because I'm always looking," McEntire said of "All the Women I Am," which hits stores Nov. 9 - the day before she vies for the top female vocalist prize at the 44th Annual CMA Awards. "It only took me a weekend and a week to do the tracks. I record fast because I've got the material, and I'm very focused. ... There's no messing around when I'm in the studio."
Dann Huff, McEntire's producer for this project, said he's particularly excited for fans to hear "If I Were A Boy" - he sees McEntire's vocal on it as one of the best performances of her career.
"The Beyonce cover is staggering," Huff said. "It reaches out through the speakers. She brings a whole new continuity to that song."
Emotions pour forth
The rest of All the Women I Am weaves naturally with the relationship-based focus of "Boy," which McEntire distills as "advice to a guy about how he could be a better person treating a woman better."
Rich with ballads, up-tempos and articulate story songs, the album's topics range from loving a child to hating an ex and all the relationship issues in between. "Bridge You Burn," studded with fiddle and banjo riffs, details an advice-filled conversation between two friends about learning from bad relationships. And McEntire said album closer "When You Love a Child," written by veteran songwriter Tom Douglas about the emotional rollercoaster that is being a parent, tears her heart out every time she sings it.
"You'll understand why I had to pick it when you hear it," she said, "because every word Tom Douglas wrote on this song is so visual. He talks about when they put that baby in your arms. He talked about when you're watching it grow, and then in the second verse he says, 'When perfume and gasoline rain on your perfect world,' meaning prom night and kids always wanting a car. It just wrecked me. It is such a special song. Whether you have children or not, it's going to wreck you."
'Monster songs'
Huff sees McEntire as a master at song selection, and feels that she crafted a brave, eclectic album that caters to many aspects of the country music market.
"She has a handful of singles she knows will do the duty at radio, but what I really respect is the way she organized this record," the producer said. "She has the right amount of commerciality (hellip) but she doesn't base her opinion of herself on just radio songs. She's basing it on a body of work, and that's really exciting."
In building that body of work over 35 years, McEntire has earned more than 55 million album sales and 63 Top 10 hits - and, she said, a clear understanding of the kind of songs that work for her.
"The only thing I ask of the songs is that they touch my heart, touch me in some way," McEntire said. "When I feel like they are monster songs I can't wait to sing, those are the ones I'm going to record. Hopefully if they touch my heart they're going to touch your heart when you hear me singing - if I've done my part right."

I was up against my dear friend and veteran politician Lord TJ, or TJ
I have fallen behind in transparency this month and will need to start off with an apology on that. However that doesn't mean I haven't done anything this month and in this newsletter I hope to give you an idea of what exactly that is.
Greetings eAustralia,
It is with great delight that I can confirm my victory of the shady character Guagature, who fought some kind of campaign but has nicely decided to stay and get things rolling with me with the KHMC.
I would like to thank
Greetings eAustralia,
I write to you today in regards to the upcoming Party Presidential elections. My plans for this piece is to provide you with a bit of my experience and some of my ideas, especially on Congress.

Former trooper in Indiana prisonMarch 29,2013
BURLINGTON — A former Vermont state police sergeant who pleaded guilty to padding his timesheets has been sent to an Indiana prison.

It's bluesy, soulful sound is perfect for playing minor blues, rock, country, reggae, pop, and jazz.
As exert harp player Steve Baker describes in his book, The Harp Handbook, the 560 Special 20 harmonica in Natural Minor tuning means that "all the 3rds in the blow and draw chords...are tuned a semitone lower than the Richter system, so that both blow and draw chords are minor...." This "tuning is great for blues and rock numbers in minor keys..." and is "also very good for minor key reggae numbers, or similar spacey groove music...." In general, natural minor harps have a very bluesy, soulful sound that's perfect for playing minor blues, rock, country, reggae, pop, and jazz. This fabulous tuning is set up to play minor music easily without straining the lips, the lungs, or the mind! All of the notes and chords that were missing on the major diatonic harps for playing minor blues are right there on the natural minor. Natural minors are designed to be played in cross harp (draw), not straight harp (blow) style. In cross harp, many of the draw notes can be bent, allowing for a much more expressive, fluid style of playing. In addition, cross harp is a very popular style used by most players for today's music.
The Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica boasts an airtight design that makes it the most recommended go-to harp for harmonica players of any style"blues, country, folk, or rock.
The Hohner 560 Special 20 delivers the coveted Marine Band harmonica sound and has the added benefits of its plastic comb, which doesn't absorb moisture. Plastic combs are more stable and do not swell, shrink, or crack. Plus they last longer and are more airtight than wood combs that can become swollen, twisted, and warped.
The 560 Special 20 harmonica's Increased airtightness means increased responsiveness. Plastic also provides comfort and it's smoother on the lips, preventing chafing. Another plus of the 560 Special 20's design is that its smooth mouthpiece features reed plates that are recessed into the comb. This keeps the 2 (rather sharp) edges of the brass reed plates from harming the harmonica player's lips. It's the harp-of-choice of harmonica virtuoso John Popper of the band Blues Traveler and was played by Bob Dylan on his 2007-2008 tour. Chances are your favorite player has several of these Hohner harmonicas in his case.

Comments about Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica Natural Minor Tuning:
I have tried to order several of these in the keys of Am, Dm, and Em and every time i get an email months later stating I won't be recieving them. Backorder is one thing, but i have yet to recieve any of these.
Comments about Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica Natural Minor Tuning:
I have been playing harmonica for a little while now, and I have bought a few different ones. The Hohner special 20 has been my second favorite (I think the Bushman Delta Frost has been the best, but they don't offer a natural minor). This is pretty much the same as my major special 20, just a different key and tuning. I like how the holes are smaller on the Special 20 and the Delta Frost unlike the larger ones on the Lee Oskars. All three brands are great, but just like Fenders and Gibsons, everyone has their own preference. I also think that the Hohners have the best cases, the instrument doesn't shake around in the case as much as the Delta Frost or the Lee Oskar.My only real complaint about this product is that it is tricky to order the key you want. These are designed to be played in Cross harp (second position draw is the root note), so I thought they would be labeled that way. It would have been nice if the online description would clear this up. I could understand if they labeled the instrument either way, I just wish that they would tell you which way they chose. The D natural minor that I ordered is actually played (in cross harp) as an Am. The label on the harmonica actually refers to the 4 blow note. So if you want to play a song in a particular minor key, you need to order the harp that is a fourth higher.song is in natural Em - order Amsong is in natural Am - order Dmsong is in natural Dm - order Gmsong is in natural Gm - order CmOther than that, it is a great instrument, just like the major Special 20s.

I'm 10 minutes into the Duggar special and already have cried. They just showed the dr talking about other issues, I remember those that go along with pre-e, liver failure, kidney failure. Man this is just going to get harder and harder to watch.
Anyone else bawling already?
yay! i got to watch it.. i didn't think i would but we happened to be at my folk's house- everything felt so familiar!
Liam Eliot [my sweet little bug] 2 lbs, 2 oz @ 29 weeks
So, I'm granola..don't judge.
Aeva is a Vanderbilt baby, a leading NICU like UAMC is. We had a private room 9 of the 13 weeks we were there. It was bigger than the one they showed the Duggars having, but we werent allowed more than 1 person to be with us, except the one time they made an exception and allowed us to bring 2 people in.
SAHM to Aeva Jaqueline, born February 5, 2009 at 30 weeks and 4 days, weighing in at 2lbs 7 oz.
*92 day NICU stay to learn to eat, still struggling!!
I really hope they talk about the March of Dimes during this season, it could do so much good for it. The local MOD brought little gifts to the NICU, they included something for the baby, like for 4th of July we got lil hats for the babies and pics taken for picture frames they included and things for the parents and other siblings. I really appreciated it and I hope this helps with what they do.

i know they have only seen the baby that once though.. I think its great they got to... im jealous but happy for the kids. I read somewhere the nicu age is 18 so it limited who could see the baby...

NEED SCENTSY? Want to join SCENTSY? Ask me how!
the only time we could have 3 people at the bedside was when our pastor came.
Otherwise for most of Liam's stay (between 2 hospitals) only us and the grandparents could visit due to the flu. For a short time after we changed hospitals anyone over 18 w/one of the parents could come but then they stopped that too.
ODS born 8/8/09 at 29 weeks. NICU stay of 81 days.
YDS born 1/22/12 at 41 and 1 weeks!
Jill was allowed in because she's over 18, I think it was the only time they were allowed in. But they have a private camera on the bed so family can watch it over a computer. Which is cool cause ours took out any other way to view the babies. Chelsea only saw them in video or pictures we took and brought to her.

Man, when they showed the part of when she was actually delivered I totally lost it. I couldn't help but think about how I delivered a baby pretty much the same size and how even though she was kicking she looked like she was struggling.
I went upstairs and just cried over Brady. The show brought back so many emotions. My husband and I have the philosophy ( for lack of a better word ) and to hear the similar words of praising God in the good and the bad just struck me.
Ugh, man, it was interesting seeing it from someone else's perspective yet reliving my experience at the same time.
Still crying! DH cried too. Just brought back all those feelings.... I never want to feel that again. So helpless. I too remember walking over to meet them on lttlle vents... so tiny.

Saltiel, Ph.D., the Mary Sue Coleman director of the Life Sciences Institute, is teaming up with clinical-trial specialists at U-M to test whether amlexanox will be useful for treating obesity and diabetes in humans. He is also working with medicinal chemists at U-M to develop a new compound based on the drug that optimizes its formula.
"One of the reasons that diets are so ineffective in producing weight loss for some people is that their bodies adjust to the reduced calories by also reducing their metabolism, so that they are 'defending' their body weight," he explains. "Amlexanox seems to tweak the metabolic response to excessive calorie storage in mice.
"Amlexanox appears to work in mice by inhibiting two genes—IKK-ε and TBK1—that we think together act as a sort of brake on metabolism," says Dr. Saltiel. "By releasing the brake, amlexanox seems to free the metabolic system to burn more, and possibly store less, energy."
Using high-throughput chemical screening at LSI's Center for Chemical Genomics to search for compounds that inhibit IKK-ε and TBK1, the researchers hit upon an approved off-patent drug: amlexanox. They then demonstrated that amlexanox had profound beneficial effects in both genetic and dietary-induced obese mice. The chemical lowered the weight of obese mice and reversed related metabolic problems such as diabetes and fatty liver.
"These studies tell us that, at least in mice, the IKK-ε/TBK1 pathway plays an important role in defending body weight by increasing storage and decreasing burning of calories, and that by inhibiting that pathway with a compound, we can increase metabolism and induce weight loss, reverse diabetes, and reduce fatty liver," Dr. Saltiel says.
However, the researchers don't yet know if humans respond with the same pathway, or if the discovery of amlexanox' effectiveness in mice can lead to a compound that is safe and effective for treating obesity and diabetes in humans. "We will be working hard on that," Dr. Saltiel assures.
The study, titled "An inhibitor of the protein kinases TBK1 and IKK-ε improves obesity-related metabolic dysfunctions in mice", was published online yesterday in Nature Medicine.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

A lot of posters (well, one mostly but some others as well) are featuring mock drafts with us trading our 3rd and next year's first to get another 1st round pick this year, which is almost always met with disapproval by the majority of posters. I'm trying to get a sense of where people stand.
If we were a team one player away from a championship, I'd consider it. But while we showed a lot of strengths last year, we have some glaring weaknesses as well. And though we're a young team, we're also inconsistent and depth is always a good thing. Finally, if Smith or Carr doesn't pan out this year, we'll likely use our #1 next year to draft a franchise QB. Robbing us of that option to get greedy in the first is short-sighted.
But some people are pushing for it, while there may be some who are generally against it, but would consider it for a special player. Where do you stand?

I started programming games when I was 13 in 1979 on a TRS-80 model 1. I also wrote massively multiplayer games on the PDP 11/70, 10 players at once. That was a lot in the early 80s. :)
I moved to the C64 and thought I was in heaven. Since then I have worked for most of the major publishers on most of the consoles though I tried to stay on PC as much as possible. Consoles had such bad compilers and I was writing a lot of template code.
I ended up becoming a producer and am trying to get my coding chops up again by building a template based game engine. When I get to a good point I will make it available for free non-commercial use and just to talk about interesting design decisions.

I would always go with the 10YO/CS/QC from Laphroaig. Personally I love the charcater of Laphroaig and find the longer it is in the wood, the more that wood comes in hence taking something away from the inherant character of the spirit.
$75 does sound like a nice price though so may well be worth having a bottle in.

Looks like you had another great holiday there.
Lori, this must have been a wonderful break from winter! I sure could use some sun and warm weather -- temps here in the 20's F today!! It's been many years since we were in Jamaica, and your photos are wonderful.
The colors of the sky, sand, and ocean are so bright and beautiful. Looks like you two had a lovely time! Nice page!
Lori, lovely little page about your sunny December trip. While we got the first snow here you were running around in swimsuits. Well done. Have a merry christmas and a fabulous start in 2012.

Fees Drop 17% in Europe for Bankers as Deals Pulled
Investment banking fees in western Europe are falling victim to the Greek debt crisis, as companies from London to Dusseldorf pull stock and bond offerings and put takeovers on hold.
Income from advising on mergers and selling shares and bonds in the region dropped 17 percent from a year earlier to $5.9 billion in the first four months of 2010, the lowest in six years, according to estimates from New York-based research firm Freeman & Co. Fees in Europe are at about the same level as in 1999, the year the euro started, the data show.
"Companies have been held back from tapping primary markets because of the volatility and uncertainty driven by concerns over sovereign debt," said Ivor Dunbar, London-based co-head of global capital markets at Deutsche Bank AG, the top-ranked adviser on corporate bond sales and mergers in Europe this year.
The decline in fees in Europe contrasts with a 53 percent jump in revenue in the U.S. and a 68 percent increase in Asia, Freeman said. The sovereign debt crisis, which led to an unprecedented bailout package of almost $1 trillion, sapped confidence among European companies. New York University Professor Nouriel Roubini said May 18 that Greece is the "tip of the iceberg" and European governments may still fail to fix their finances.
"We won't see a move towards normal M&A and capital markets financing volumes until there is clarity on the scale of the issues facing the euro zone," said Paulo Pereira, a partner at Perella Weinberg Partners LP in London and former head of European mergers at Morgan Stanley.
'Doesn't Look Good'
European leaders announced the loan package and a program of bond purchases on May 10 to stop concern that Greece will default on its debt from spreading to Portugal, Italy and Spain. Amid the turmoil, ex-Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker said last week he's concerned the single European currency may break up.
"It doesn't look good," said Simon Maughan, a banking analyst at MF Global Securities Ltd. in London. European fees may stay depressed until the fourth quarter, he said.
The fallout may be lasting, with sluggish growth in Europe being compounded by a regulatory crackdown on banks that may drive some capital markets business away from London to Asian financial centers like Hong Kong, said Tom Troubridge, head of the London capital markets group at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Gross domestic product in the 16-nation euro region may rise 0.9 percent this year after shrinking 4.1 percent in 2009, according to the European Commission.
Britain's coalition government, formed this month, plans to introduce a tax on banks and started a commission that will decide how to separate retail banking from investment banking. European Union finance ministers last week approved draft rules to tighten regulations for hedge and private equity funds.
U.S., Asia Fees Rise
In the U.S., fees rose to $10 billion in the first four months, from $6.5 billion in the year-earlier period, driven by revenue from stock offerings and sales of high-yield bonds, according to the Freeman data. Revenue in the Asia-Pacific region jumped 68 percent from a year earlier to a record $5.6 billion in the first four months of 2010, Freeman said. At that rate of growth, Asia will become more lucrative than the whole of Europe by next year, the data show.
"Asia's share of global volumes will continue to rise," said Farhan Faruqui, head of Citigroup Inc.'s Asia-Pacific global banking division in Hong Kong. "Asia is home to a growing list of domestic corporate champions who are keen to move to global champion status" and in doing so will need to make acquisitions and raise funding, he said.
China Fee Boom
Fees in China and Hong Kong surged 161 percent, according to Freeman, as the country's economy boomed. China's economy expanded 11.9 percent in the first quarter, the fastest pace in almost three years.
Western banks are adapting to China's rising importance. HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's largest bank, moved its chief executive officer to Hong Kong in February, and is seeking permission to sell shares in Shanghai. JPMorgan Chase & Co., the second-biggest U.S. bank by assets, is setting up a securities joint venture in China with First Capital Securities Co., people with knowledge of the matter said in March.
"Investment banks which have invested heavily in China and some emerging markets are finally seeing the fruits of their labor," said Scott Moeller, a former Deutsche Bank dealmaker and now a professor at London's Cass Business school. "The West will go into decline for the next few years."
Greece's debt crisis froze bond and stock sales as well as takeovers in Europe, said Frank Aquila, a partner in Sullivan & Cromwell LLP's mergers team in New York.
Takeovers Drop
The value of European takeovers completed in the first four months dropped 68 percent to $62.4 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Britain's biggest government-controlled bank, abandoned a sale of its aviation-finance unit and Germany utility E.ON AG decided to pull an auction of its Italian natural gas grid last month.
Bond sales also fell, tumbling 44 percent from the same period last year to 271 billion euros. Towergate Partnership Ltd., Europe's largest independent insurance broker, postponed a 665 million-pound sale of high-yield bonds this month, citing market volatility. National Express Group Plc, the U.K. rail and bus operator, postponed its bond sale in late April.
Companies raised $9.1 billion in 28 IPOs in western Europe in the first four months, compared with no offerings in the year-earlier period, the data show. Still, the sovereign debt crisis forced Russia's fertilizer maker UralChem Holding Plc and Germany's GSW Immobilien AG to shelve IPOs worth a combined $1.23 billion in the past four weeks.
Siemens AG shelved a possible sale of its hearing-aid unit in March after bids fell short of the 2 billion euros sought, two people familiar with the plan said at the time.
"Confidence has returned to issuers in Asia and the U.S., but that has not been the case in Europe," said Philip Keevil, senior partner at advisory firm Compass Advisers LLP in New York. "Many of them are quite concerned about the recovery, and so haven't wanted to raise equity or debt to finance expansion or make acquisitions."
