Is pathogenic humoral autoimmunity a Th1 response?

In a recent Viewpoint article, Balasa and Sarvetnick reviewed the various arguments indicating that the pathogenic humoral response in myasthenia gravis is Th1-dependent1. Although there is indeed accumulating evidence for a role of IL-12/IFNγ rather than IL-4 in mouse experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG), this statement might not be generalized to rats and probably to human myasthenia.
Recently, we showed that although incidence and severity of EAMG are similar in Lewis (LEW) and Brown–Norway (BN) rats, strong differences are revealed in the type of immune response generated2. Indeed, antigen-specific immune lymph node cells from LEW rats produce mainly Th1 (IL-2 and IFN-γ) cytokines resulting in a dominating IgG2b anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) response. By contrast, BN rats preferentially mount a Th2-immune response characteriszed by IL-4 production and an IgG1 anti-AChR antibody response. Furthermore, manipulation of the Th1/Th2 balance, including the isotype profile, in BN rats by IL-12 administration or IFN-γ neutralization, does not influence the disease outcome. These data demonstrate that a Th1-dominated immune response is not necessarily associated with disease severity in EAMG not only in rats with disparate MHC haplotype but also in the same rat strain. In agreement with our study, the involvement of both AChR-reactive Th1 and Th2 cytokines in the rat has been documented3,4,5,6,7.
We suggest that the differences in the effector function of antibody subclasses might explain the different requirement for a Th1-dependent response of rats and mice. EAMG is mediated by T cell-dependent, complement-fixing antibodies in rats8,9 and mice10,11. Unlike mouse IgG subclasses, both Th1- and Th2-associated rat IgG subclasses are all capable of binding complement12,13. Consequently, whereas the generation of pathogenic antibodies will necessarily require the induction of the IFN-γ-dependent IgG2a subclass in the mouse, the situation might be dramatically different in other species where complement-fixing antibodies belong to Th1- and Th2-dependent isotypes. In agreement with this explanation, it has been shown in IL-12-deficient mice, which are resistant to EAMG, that the serum anti-AChR antibodies were predominately of the IgG1 isotype, and that this subclass was mainly deposited at the neuromuscular junctions14.
In humans, it has been shown that the AChR-specific CD4+ T cells from MG patients secrete IL-4 and IFN-γ indicating that both Th1/Th2 or Th0 sub-populations of T cells are involved in the autoimmune response in MG15,16. In MG patients, a predominance of complement binding Ig, IgG1 and IgG3, has been reported17 but the role of Th cell subsets in the generation of these IgG subclasses is not yet established. Therefore, there is no conclusive evidence that the production of complement fixing antibodies in humans is Th1- or IFNγ-dependent.
Taken together, our data suggest that in a situation where complement-fixing antibodies can be generated with either Th1 or Th2-mediated T-cell help, deviation of the immune response will not be an adequate strategy to prevent this antibody-mediated autoimmune disease.

The Poem (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
"At the Executed Murderer's Grave" is composed of seventy-seven lines of freely rhymed iambic pentameter. The title expresses the subject. The poet is meditating on the grave of the convicted murderer George Doty, a taxi driver from Belaire, Ohio. Doty drove a girl out of town, made a pass at her, and, when she resisted, killed her. In an interview with Dave Smith (in The Pure Clear Word: Essays on the Poetry of James Wright, 1982, edited by Smith), Wright explains, "Many people in that community thought [Doty] was terribly wicked, but he did not seem to be wicked. He was just a dumb guy who was suddenly thrust into the middle of the problem of evil." Doty was executed in the electric chair.
Like many of Wright's poems, this one is about the outcast. Part of his concern is the incapacity of some members of society to understand other members. The severing of communications between the living and the dead becomes, for him, the ultimate barrier to human connectedness. Kindness and vengeance, pity and loathing, empathy and fear are important contrasts in the poem.
The poem begins by showing Wright's position to the killer: "I was born/ Twenty-five miles from this infected grave." He says that his father "tried to teach me kindness," that he once went to the grave ("I made my loud display"), that he is "Now sick of lies," and that he will "add my easy grievance to the rest."
It is no easy...

Forms and Devices (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
Despite iambic pentameter and end rhyme, the lines are not always dulcet, unlike many of Wright's earlier efforts. The poet and his commentators, including Smith and poet and critic Donald Hall, see "At the Executed Murderer's Grave" as a "watershed poem," dividing his earlier style from his more mature work.
Wright's first book, The Green Wall (1957), contains "A Poem About George Doty in the Death House." This precursor poem has six stanzas in trimeter verse with regular rhyme scheme and unobtrusive diction. Though scorned by community members for caring more about Doty than the murdered girl ("I mourn no soul but his"), his language is passionless, guarded, and devoid of commitment. The later poem, with its harsh colloquial language and candid utterance, is another case entirely.
What changed? Hall, in his introduction to Above the River (1990), quotes Wright describing himself as "a literary operator (and one of the slickest, cleverest, most charming' concoctors of the do-it-yourselfverse)." Hall says Wright was thinking of quitting poetry altogether because it was not real to him anymore. Then he began this poem.
Though still producing a metric line, Wright's use of diction creates a different kind of poetry. For one thing, proper nouns appear in abundance. By using his and Doty's names and the place-names of his region, the poet acquires a direct voice. As a consequence, he...

Recipe by maggie
"My mom has been making this for years, and it's just one of those recipes that sticks out from my childhood. It's delicious."
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/8 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 egg whites
I'm sorry to say we did not care for these. Everyone that tasted them said they were too salty to eat. Next comment was that they were bland. This could easily be improved upon by using only 1/8 tsp salt and doubling the almond extract and lemon zest.
I loved this recipe I just used milk I didn't have butter milk

Predators Sign Andreas Thuresson
Jun 29, 2010
Milwaukee, WI--Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed forward Andreas Thuresson to a one-year, two-way contract.
Thuresson played 22 games with the Predators, and 50 games with the Milwaukee Admirals in 2009-10. He posted three points (1g-2a) as a rookie, made his NHL debut Oct. 31, 2009 vs. Dallas and notched his first NHL goal in a 2-1 overtime victory on Dec. 31, 2009 at Columbus. The Kristianstad, Sweden native also amassed 33 points (14g-19a) with the Admirals, equaling his 2008-09 goal output in 24 fewer games. Thuresson also led Milwaukee in 2010 Calder Cup Playoff scoring (2g-7a-9pts) and tied for the playoff team lead in assists and penalty minutes (16).
The 6-1, 212-pound right wing was Nashville's seventh choice, 144th overall (fifth round), in 2007 Entry Draft.
The Admirals will kick of the home portion of the 2010-11 campaign on Saturday, October 9. Season tickets for the 2010-11 Admirals season are on sale now for as little as $145. For more information or to order season tickets, fans should call the Admirals office at (414) 227-0550. Don't forget to follow the Admirals on Twitter (@mkeadmirals) and on Facebook!

Foundation to remember OU football star
ENID, Okla. — A family in mourning is trying to brace themselves for that dreaded day. May 19 will mark one year since OU football star Austin Box lost his life.
Box had been battling sports injuries and taking prescription pain killers.
His sister, Whitney Box, said that day his back was acting up again.
He took more pills; the combination of prescriptions was deadly.
She said, "After we kind of get through the first year and make it through May 19, our goal is to really tackle the prescription drug abuse issue."
The loss resulted in the idea for a foundation in Austin's name.
Whitney said, "It's been really difficult. The foundation has really helped though, especially for me. It's given me a new purpose and something to focus my energy on."
One Enid High School athlete will benefit each year with a scholarship.
The foundation awards $1,500 each semester for the first year of college up to $3,000.
The first student to be selected for the scholarship will be awarded May 16.
After that, the family's goal is to create awareness about the increasing problem of prescription abuse.
Whitney said, "If we can save one life through the foundation then that's good enough for us. We want to help anybody who needs it."

We all know the way to prevent AIDS, but will there ever by a cure? Amazingly enough, a cure that could replace the expensive drugs that patients now have to take for life might be right around the corner.
Like so many scientific discoveries, this one originally came about by "accident." There are several previous reports of patients becoming virus-free after being treated for leukemia with a bone marrow transplant. The latest example occurred when a man who had been HIV-positive for 10 years developed leukemia. Since he was given a bone marrow transplant 2 years ago, his AIDS has stayed away as well.
In the February 12th edition of the Independent, Jeremy Laurance quotes researcher Gero Hutter as saying, "The difference is that in our patient we had a plan. It was not an accident. It is the longest time someone who has had antiretroviral therapy and stopped has lasted without the virus rebounding. Normally it rebounds within weeks. It is the closest we have come to a cure." This is incredibly exciting news.

He is way out of his depth and doesn't do anything to support his drivers. Still what can you expect from a former bag carrier for Ralf Schumacher? Please get him out of F1. 5 agree 0 disagree

The News:
- An Ohio karate pioneer is remembered on Father's Day.
James, also known as Jimmy, was the first American to receive the rank of black belt in Matsubayashi Shorin-Ryu Karate.
He also introduced it to the United States, opening the first Shorin-Ryu Karate dojo in the country in Dayton in 1960.
- Hollywood exaggerating claims about the Shaolin? I'm shocked!
"Hollywood has completely exaggerated the martial arts scene," added Cindy Truong, 32, a temple volunteer and event coordinator. "It's not all about Chinese people being thrown over chairs. The martial arts you see in the movies, that's Americanized. It's a very small part of Shaolin culture."
- Will Shane Carwin finally shut Brock up? I'm not certain he can but I'll be rooting for Shane!
He is one of the most down-to-earth people in the sport. You'll never hear him flipping off fans or yelling into the camera while foaming at the mouth.
He respects his opponents, doesn't talk trash, yet has the fundamentals to be able to if he wanted, but his values overpower his mouth.
- Hugh Jackman is slated to play a boxer in a sci-fi movie!
Jackman, widely considered one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, is getting back into the ring right now with "Real Steel," a sort of mecha-gladiator tale filming in Detroit. Jackman plays a washed-up boxer named Charlie Kenton who with his estranged son Max (played by Dakota Goyo) makes a comeback bid in a new high-tech sport of robot boxing.
- I have no issue with war protests, but I do think that for the most part they need to be directed at the governments, not the soldiers. The troops are just doing what they were trained to do.
Former British boxing champion Anthony Small was among the group of protesters who screamed abuses at troops returning from Afghanistan.
- Malaya takes some gold in a karate tournament.
PROVING they are ready to compete in the Guangzhou Asian Games, the national karate squad bagged three gold medal, two silvers medals and a bronze in the just-concluded 6th Korea Open International Karatedo Championships at the Gudeok Gymnasium in Busan, South Korea.
- According to Stuart Fox, kicks and punches are not as effective as chokes or elbows.
But in actual fighting, kicks and punches rank very low on the damage scale, with choke holds and elbows proving the most dangerous.
- I for one was not happy with the first Ghost Rider so I'm pleased to hear they are working on a sequel. Maybe they'll get it right this time!
According to reports out of Sony, Crank creative tandem Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are in talks to direct Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, and Cage is in the early negotiations phase…
- A taekwondo grandmaster recently passed away.
Grand Master Karlo Fujiwara was a man who lived strictly by the five tenets of tae kwon do — respect, etiquette, loyalty, modesty and patience — and instilled them in those he knew.
A fixture in the Billings martial arts community for more than 40 years and a nationally known grand master who taught tae kwon do to hundreds, if not thousands, of people in Montana, Fujiwara passed away Thursday morning at the age of 78.
"Everything was based on respect," Korine Fujiwara said of her father. "It was respect for others and respect for yourself, and he drilled that into every one he knew."
- Three things that go together: Japan, business, and aikido!
Mr. Kamei, an Aikido blackbelt, amateur oil painter and avowed "Cool Biz' dissenter, said he has already shared economic policy views with Democratic Party of Japan ruler Mr. Kan, and their opinions are not that different.
- Some Air Force personnel learn krav maga.
Air Force Base's Master Sgt. Stephen Adorisio, using proper Karv Maga techniques during a training session with members of the 50th Security Forces Squadron June 8 as part of their quarterly training requirements.
- Here's one for the Jeet Kune Do crowd!
Second-generation JKD instructor Tim Tackett adds to his in-depth book series on jeet kune do with Chinatown Jeet Kune Do Volume 2: Training Methods of Bruce Lee's Martial Art. Building on JKD theories and concepts from the first volume, Tackett concentrates on practice and applications in this volume.
The Blogs:
- Dojo Rat, Martial Development, and Wim Demeere all weigh in on that Seattle police officer who punched a teen jaywalker.
Earlier, Kelly had said, "The use of violence in the form of a full-blown fist to the face was wrong," and leaders of several community groups, while not excusing the suspects, said Walsh clearly overreacted.
Police have said the department's civilian-led Office of Professional Accountability is investigating Walsh's actions.
Prosecutor Dan Satterberg says, "The law is clear: You can't shove a police officer, period."
- Bunkai has an excellent video that compares a karate kata to some wing chun applications. Consequently this video makes my sidebar video of the week!
On the surface, Wing Chun and Tekki look quite different, but as usual Keith and I look below the surface and find some similarities which can be used by practitioners of either system.
- Jon Law is going to try self-hosting! Stay tuned for an announcement that tells us where his new home is.
This blog is going to move to a new domain, it's going to be self-hosted so I can do a bit more with it.
- Zacky Chan reviews Autumn Lightening.
After reading "Bokken: Art of the Japanese Sword," and "Autumn Lightning: The Education of an American Samurai", I have started somewhat of a love-hate relationship with the writings of Dave Lowry.
- Sensei Strange has had several good philosophical posts lately.
I believe that you do not read a book, or have long discussions on ethics, Aikido philosophy will transmit simply through the act of practice.
- Nicola tries a little Qigong! I dabbled with Qigong but did not have the patience to keep it up.
As follow up to yesterday – hope to by the end of the weekend to begin some gentle stretches.
- Check out Muhwa's latest martial arts funny!
How many styles of kungfu do you know?
- Perhaps training to defend against wrist grabs do have their place in self-defense!
Simply put a member of the U.S. Congress assaults a young student aping his best version of gorilla journalism. As a result we get a treat.
The Videos:
The first video is a recent interview of Brock Lesnar. Note that even after having recovered from a major illness, Brock is still one big dick. Then again, so is Mir.
I bet you thought you'd escape this week without me referencing our beloved Lord of Pasta? Well guess again!
That's right, as if Anderson Silva's arsenal wasn't versatile enough, now the UFC middleweight champ is working with action film star and seventh degree Aikido master Steven Seagal.
Some little-known facts about Mr. Seagal:
If a diet was a person, Steven Seagal would kill it.
When someone eats a hamburger, Steven Seagal eats two.
A woman once tried to make fun of Steven Seagal's weight in bed. She now has 20 children that are fat and know aikido.
And my personal favorite:
"The only thing scarier than Steven Seagal without Botox is Steven Seagal WITH a record deal."

Dozens turn out for candlelight vigil for Amir Hekmati
A small crowd gathered on the Mott Community College campus last night in Flint.
They were there to show support for a local man held in Iran on charges he is a spy for the CIA.
Friends and family of Amir Hekmati took part in the candlelight vigil. Hekmati was arrested on spying charges a year ago. A U.S. Marine veteran, Hekmati was visiting his grandmother and other relatives in Iran, when he was arrested.
He appeared in a televised interview in Iran confessing to being a spy. Hekmati was convicted in January and sentenced to death. The Iranian Supreme Court overturned the death sentence and ordered a new trial. Amir Hekmati remains in an Iranian jail awaiting his retrial.
Sarah Hekmati says her brother is not a spy. She and her family are asking the Iranian government to let him go, especially now that her father has suddenly fallen ill with an aggressive brain tumor. Sarah Hekmati says her father Ali's prognosis is not good.
"It was shocking when we discovered that he had a brain tumor. And the prognosis isn't good. And my brother has no idea," Sarah Hekmati's voice broke slightly as she talked to the crowd at last night's candlelight vigil, "I just hope all of you can home and cherish your family."
The Hekmati family hopes the Iranian government will agree to release Amir Hekmati on humanitarian grounds so he can be with his father.
The Hekmati family hopes their plea would be heard by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his current visit to the United States. He's in New York for the opening of the new session of the United Nations.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Ahmadinejad claims to never having heard of Amir Hekmati.

Yes, God's Got Her
She helps out in the chapel, during classes and works a job that starts at 3:45 am. She still smiles though. She feels the love of God and she knows that something inside has stilled her spirit. She's been working on a journal to document her journey and she has kept all the workbooks that she's finished. She's read them and re-read them.
She's an inmate.
She's been talking to a church member from her home town for two years now waiting for her parole answer to come back a "yes". She has a place to go and people ready to help her with all the challenges she will face. She is scared but she knows this time she's found a key she's never had before. She has someone, a Christian mentor, a woman willing to take her in, a plan with a real support system.
She's in love with God and she's learning to give her testimony. She turns red every time she does but filled with the Holy Spirit she's finding the boldness God gives to glorify Him. She's not waiting anymore. She's serving God by telling her story long before she gets out but she's counting the days. Even the Warden will miss her; everyone has come to know her as a true warrior for God and model inmate. Her behavior and demeanor has changed over time and she even sees the difference and wonders at where her patience and kindness is coming from.
She doesn't recognize herself. She's not the girl off the street. She's not the one turning tricks for a fix. She's strong and yet quiet. She reads and studies and is ready to take on the task of discipling others. She is ready. She has friends. She has a family that she hasn't met yet.
God's got her.
She is quiet the day she's released. She even cries because she feels she's leaving people behind, people who need her. She looks at the woman taking her back to her county and hometown but to a neighborhood she's never been. It's a Friday and all she can think is "Why can't this be Sunday, I need to praise God right now!" and then she remembers what she was taught, she can praise Him minute by minute, alone in her heart and she smiles and the car rolls on.
God's got her.
When she gets to church, she's introduced to the pastor and his wife, women in the women's ministry and other members of the congregation her mentor knows. Her head spins as they all hug and smile at her. They aren't making fun of her or talking about her, they are anxious to hear her testimony and how God worked in her life. They want her to attend their bible study, it started a couple weeks ago but they'd love her to join them. She smiles as everyone sings praise songs and she feels strangely at home.
God's got her. Someone in the congregation has some home repair work they need done and they offer her the opportunity to earn some money until she finds something full time. She paints a couple of bedrooms and gets to know them. They like her and she likes them. She works hard and remembers that passage about working as though working unto the Lord and she does. They watch her hard work and her meticulous skill. They tell some friends and another church members mentions his home decorating and repair business. It takes a few weeks but they offer her a job and she immediately says yes. She took classes on simple home repair, landscaping and painting interior and exterior work. She has the skill.
And God's got her.
It takes some time but slowly she saves money and another church member helps her find a car she can afford and her mentor takes her to get her drivers license. She's working and meeting once a month with her parole officer. Her PO is impressed with her progress and asks, "How is it you are doing so well?"
She replies,
"God's got me."
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
God's got her....
She's carried her bible almost everywhere they would allow her. She's read it each morning and night. She's faithfully attended each church service and bible study offered. She's brought others to Christ and accepted Him as her Lord and Savior. She's one of the most outspoken evangelists and she can quote more scripture than she can phone numbers she used to know by heart.
She's an inmate.
She doesn't wear her best navy blue dress and heels, pearl earrings and necklace. She doesn't curl her hair just so and check her makeup before walking into the big church on the corner, with the towering maple tree providing shade over the small playground fenced to the side of the chapel.
She wears white; white shirt, white pants, white tennis shoes if she's lucky. She carries a small print King James Version Bible she tries so hard to understand. She sings with her hands held high and tears flow as she stands in the presence of God and the church members who have come in to preach this Sunday.
Finally she knows what she's never slowed down enough to consider. God is real. He loves her and works in her life. She's behind bars, she believes, because God rescued her from herself. She talks about God at her work assignment and she lives in the faith based dorm. She wants a life different from anything she's ever known. She wants to live like the those that visit and teach. She wants to do so well outside that she can come back in to talk about the hope God provides.
Then she gets her answer. She has a release date and her head spins. She knows that in a few short weeks she will need to find a place to go. She starts making lists. Things to do that will make sure she's never here again. She has to find a church and she has to keep reading her Bible and she has to find a half way house because going home isn't safe or healthy. But she wants her children back and she wants a job that will support her and her children.
She gets a "yes" from a Christian transitional housing program and she's praising God that she has a place to go. She reads all about it and how they have Bible studies and church attendance and weekly service projects! Oh she wants to serve God! Besides this wonderful news she remembers all those classes she's taken so she has a lot to share with someone. She's taken so many classes and she's gotten a dozen certificates to show her parole officer how hard she's worked.
Those certificates don't overshadow those boxes on the applications; "have you ever been convicted of a felony?"
And the day she's released she is picked up by the housing coordinator and she tells her that she just wants to see her family for one night and get some of her clothes and things. The coordinator has seen this before and explains how its in her best interest to just take a night or two in the housing unit to prepare herself for her reunification with family and friends. She tries to give her best excuse and then says "I'm feeling really pressured now, I just want to see my family." And she is free, so the coordinator does as asked all the while knowing it would be the last time the coordinator saw this one until the next time she walks into a prison classroom.
She decided to go to a friend instead of a program. She decided to return home or to the place she was when she was arrested because they would take her back. Oh the programs she heard about sounded great while she was in jail but she reads the restrictions and the rules and she doesn't need that again. She just got out of jail and she doesn't need all that again. She can find a church and she can praise God and she will keep reading her Bible and pray when things get tough.
Things are tough and she starts thinking, "I can do this." She forgets its God who does the battle for us. She forgets to ask God for help this morning and the next. And she doesn't open her Bible to remind her of what she learned. She has too much on her plate to take the time to do that. Besides, would she get so many no's if God were really on her side, and she starts believing the enemy. He's there telling her all about how God left her and forgot about her because her life is tough, tougher than she thought it would be this time because she has God.
Oh she went to church at first and to a recovery program there too but no one noticed her or even said hello. She did find someone who'd sign off on her parole paper that she attended the mandatory meetings as long as she'd sign off on theirs. That was something. But it wasn't God and it wasn't the focus on the Bible she remembered in prison. Things were different now. The God of the prison didn't seem to be the same God of the outside.
She still prayed and she still wanted to believe all would be well. She would find a good job and she would have a great house and a pretty car soon. She was "standing on this" because someone told her to speak her desires over her life and her God would not forsake her. But it wasn't happening, at least not fast enough and that church family everyone talked about in all those classes, where were they?
There was a family she knew that would take her in and things would feel right again. So she went back there, and did just one line and had a couple beers before she set out to pick up a stack of applications. She felt like she could conquer the world! A friend lent her a car to go to an interview but the inspection sticker was expired and she hadn't quite gotten her driver's license renewed yet and the lights behind her let's her know she's got a problem and suddenly, in the heat of the moment she cried out to God, the one she put aside for a while.
this time, when she takes those classes, she'll talk more about what brought her here and it's just a parole revocation. And she'll make better choices because she wants to stop this cycle and she cries and sobs through her story and she asks each and every teacher that comes in, "Do you know of any good programs I can go to after I get out?"
She's praying to God and she's learning to hear His voice. She's different than the other girls in her class because she's got it this time, she's finally gets it, she's going to make it and God's got her back.

Olive Louise (Pedersen) Caspers, 92, passed away peacefully Sept. 13, 2012, in Diamond Willow Assisted Living in Cloquet.
Olive Louise (Pedersen) Caspers, 92, passed away peacefully Sept. 13, 2012, in Diamond Willow Assisted Living in Cloquet.
Olive was born Jan. 21, 1920, in Duluth, to Carl and Nella (Finell) Pedersen. She graduated from Superior Central High School and the Duluth Business College.
In 1941 she married George Edward Caspers Jr. of Lake Bluff, Ill., and this past January they celebrated 71 years of marriage. In 1946 Olive and George settled in Lake Nebagamon on an old 80 acre farmstead, where they began planting Norway Pine seedlings. Over a thousand of those trees, many of them 50-plus feet high, can still be seen today.
Olive worked in a number of secretarial positions during her working career: on the East Coast through World War II, and in Superior for the Maynard Berglund Law Firm and the First National Bank.
A dedicated partner to her husband, George, Olive was a gentle, loving mother and grandmother, as well as an accomplished quilter, needlepoint artist and seamstress, an avid gardener and naturalist. She and George also shared a passion for music and had an extensive collection of records and sheet music. She was a member of the Lake Nebagamon Quilters and the American Legion Auxiliary.
Both she and George were very proud of their Norwegian heritage. Her father immigrated to the United States from the Lofoten Islands of Norway in 1905, and George's parents came from Norway around the same time.
She was preceded in death by her husband, George, who died in July of this year; an infant daughter Sarah Ann; and sisters Lorraine Carlson, Carletta Sims, and Marian Bumbal.
Olive is survived by her daughter, Susan Louise (James) Banks of Maple; granddaughters Bridget Rose (Darrell) Landry of St Paul and Georgia Louise (Matthew) Banks-Burgess of Minneapolis; her sister, Joyce Aker, of Washington; sister- in-law Helen Jayne Jorgenson of Park Ridge, Ill.; and several nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff of Keystone Bluffs and Diamond Willow and to the St. Luke's hospice team for the wonderful care and support they gave to Olive and George.
VISITATION: 10 until the 11 a.m. memorial service Saturday, Sept. 29, in Downs Funeral Home Chapel, 1617 N. 19th St., Superior, with the Rev. Fr. Andrew Ricci officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Olive's name to the Twin Ports Ministry to Seafarers, 2924 W. Third St., Duluth, MN 55806. To sign the online guestbook or send condolences, please visit www.downsfh.com.

Top 8 CMS for Photographers
A photography website is all about the pictures. If you are creating a website for your photography business, you need a CMS that lets you make huge galleries and amp up your graphics potential. Your CMS should make it incredibly easy to upload photos and prominently display them. We've done a roundup of the best photography websites in 2013, and listed them for you. If you're a hobby photographer or know a photographer who is wanting to break into the business, a killer website is the way to start. Here are the top 8 CMS for Photographers that will help you do just that.
Webydo is a great option if you are looking for a way to showcase your work. We've actually got a great tutorial explaining how to set up a portfolio website with Webydo. Not only does it let you design beautiful sites with no code required, it's easy to use and elegant. We think it's a great option and highly recommend you check it out.
Squarespace is an outstanding CMS, and one which we highly recommend here at CMS Critic. One of the reasons we love it is because their site designs are purely outstanding. A photographer demands a well-designed website. Squarespace has a great collection of gallery tools that will add some serious visual candy to your site. Squarespace also has a handy e-commerce integration if you're interested in selling physical or digital goods. Each Squarespace site is mobile-ready, another huge plus.
WordPress, the world's most widely-used CMS, is also a top choice for photographers. It's easy to build an impressive photography site that requires just a bit of web savvy. Right out of the box, it's easy to add galleries into a WordPress site, but it works best when paired with plugins and the right template. As far as photo plugins go, you might have a hard time paring down the list of thousands to one that works for you. We suggest that you check out the following plugins and/or themes:
NextGEN Gallery (plugin)
Photocrati (theme)
Enigma (theme)
Wix is a popular CMS that provides a wide selection of slick themes, many of them customized for photography. It has proven to be a popular choice for many photographers, both professional and beginners. With integrated hosting, mobile-ready sites, low cost, and an easy drag-and-drop editor, Wix is a great entry point for photographers to instantly make a splash.
Another photo-specific CMS is PhotoShelter, a wildly popular website creator. It has a cult following of photographers, with good reason. There are ten templates with layout options for each template. Each template delivers a stunning photo-centric appearance. Some of the icing on the PhotoShelter cake is unique features like automatic fulfillment from printers (only two printers available) and their powerful ecommerce tools. If you're looking for a site with strong conversion funnel for photo sales, PhotoShelter is the way to go. (Ducati not included.)
Smugmug doesn't call themselves a CMS. It is primarily a portfolio site, but we think it qualifies as a strong CMS. So does their loyal fan following. The UI is very easy to use. You can import photos from just about anywhere you store them — in the cloud or on a local drive. Plus, if you're in the money-making mood, you can upgrade to SmugMug pro to sell your products.
Every photographer needs a portfolio. 4mat is focused on delivering high-quality photography portfolios. These are portfolios that go way beyond the average, allowing for endless customization and more options than you could possibly exhaust in a lifetime of photography. Many of the themes are dynamic, and all of them feature vivid photo prominence. The editor side of 4ormat is a blissfully easy drag-and-drop experience. For its pro-level service, the prices aren't too bad, either ($6.99 - 24.99/mo).
Koken is cool. We thought so when we scoped it out last year. Part of what makes a photo-CMS helpful is online image management. There's no shortage of online storage platforms, but a storage site + CMS designed for photographers is especially handy. Koken's desktop-like interface makes it easy to upload and manage both images and videos. The CMS also allows you to add content from Flickr, Instagram, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and Twitter. Koken also has a publish services plugin for Lightroom. Koken works best for the serious photographer who isn't afraid of technology. You can even customize your own CSS. As it is by itself, Koken is a strong contender for gaining the loyal clientele of the most demanding photographers, designers, and other creatives.
The ultimate qualification for a top-notch photographer is the photography itself, not the website. Still, in today's world, you've got to have a quality website. These photography CMSs are the way to get you the website you need.

- The ear canal is closed at its inner end by a thin diaphragm of stretched skin known as the eardrum or tympanic membrane, which vibrates as the air pressure changes.

- In some cases, a doctor may suggest inserting a tube through the eardrum to allow the middle ear to drain.

For ads, social media still a niche buy
Considering all you hear about social networks finally starting to convince the advertising industry that they're a worthwhile destination for dollars, it's a bit surprising to see new numbers from eMarketer that put social networks' share of the digital-ad marketplace at a paltry 5.5 percent last year.
That's up from 5 percent in 2008, the stats released Thursday say. The good news is that, unlike some other sectors of the ad world, it's not shrinking--but it's also not growing exponentially by any means. After plunging from a 61 percent rate of growth in 2008 … Read more

There is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune: go there with a large one.
Jack Yelton
Monotheism introduced the idea that we should passively accept whatever fate God dealt. Gambling seemed to be a refusal to do that.

Gambling with cards, or dice, or stocks, is all one thing--it is getting money without giving an equivalent for it.

Total Face Brush is rated out of 5 by 671.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from You get what you pay for I bought this to try it out, since it was only a dollar. The quality matched the price, as right as I took it out of its packaging, a couple of hairs shed off. A bunch more shed off later. It was also scratchy and not as dense or stiff as I hoped. I don't use this brush and would probably only use it in some dire emergency where I don't even have the powder sponge that comes with the powder.?

Rated 3 out of 5 by cara123 from The brush is great but it broke... I bought this brush a few months ago and I thought it would be great to use for all over my face. Unfortunately, the brush broke and it was no longer connected to the bottom of the brush.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kari from Repeatedly reliable I have purchased this brush every time I have replaced my makeup brushes since I found this brush. It beats any brush that comes with a makeup product, and it is very worth the value. Since it is sanitary to replace your brushes often, I get to with this brush. I rarely have ever had shedding issues, and it gives me an air-brushed look if I choose the right makeup to apply ?(I usually am using this brush with my setting powder). It is great for blending also.?

Rated 1 out of 5 by makeuplvr08 from Would not recommend I purchased this brush and threw it away (I got it for .50 when the whole website was 50% off). I am happy with everything else that I ordered except this brush! I took it out of the packaging and right away knew it's not a good brush. I literally kept pulling out hairs from the brush and finally just threw it in the trash. None of the $3 line of brushes did this that I purchased. I was bummed about this one.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lyssa from Broken! I purchased 5-6 E.L.F. Essential brushes and I REGRET IT. The metal part breaks off the wooden base. It could be fixed with a little glue but I shouldn't need to glue my brushes. They also shed like crazy when applying makeup. I went back and purchased the studio brush line- they are PERF. The studio brushes are softer and high quality. They're worth the extra $2!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Ruby from I never use it I got this in a free kit a couple months ago. ?The bristles aren't soft and the red color comes out when you wash it, but my biggest problem is the size. ?It's way too big and awkward for me to even use.

Rated 1 out of 5 by makeupgurl from Terrible! It is so rough on skin and when you wash it for the first time the colour comes out which makes the water all red. Imagine that on your face. Ew...

Samsung unleashes another Boeing phone
Never one to rest on its laurels, Samsung has released yet another phone with a slim slider design. AT&T's Samsung SGH-A777 is the latest in the company's Boeing series, as we've come to call it. It started with the A707 and then proceeded to roll out the A717, the A727, the A737, the A747, and the A767, all for AT&T. Yes, the company skipped over the A757 but we still like the analogy. The only trouble is that the phones don't resemble the corresponding airplanes in any way. If that were true, … Read more

INDIANAPOLIS -- Da'Sean Butler sat slumped on a stool in front of his locker at Lucas Oil Stadium late Saturday night, tears in his eyes and an ice bag on his left knee.
He was at the same time discouraged and hopeful.
"They checked it out here and they think it's just a sprain and a bruise," Butler said. "They'll look at it again more [Sunday], but I hope that's all it is."
It wasn't.
The knee injury Butler suffered midway through the second half of West Virginia's 78-57 loss to Duke in the national semifinals was much worse.
The school announced Sunday that an MRI revealed a torn ACL, a sprain of the MCL and two bone bruises in his left knee.
The injury would seem to seriously jeopardize Butler's immediate hopes of playing in the NBA. Named last week to the Wooden All-America team and honored Saturday night as the Lowe's Senior Class Award Winner as the best senior player in the country, Butler's stock with the NBA had soared throughout the season. Once considered a marginal draft pick at all, the 6-foot-7 forward had recently appeared in the middle of the first round of multiple NBA mock drafts.
The injury, though, not only puts that standing in doubt, it will also prohibit Butler from taking part in any of the pre-draft workouts that often are the final determining factor in a player's draft status.
Butler finished his career with 2,095 points, third on the school's all-time list behind Jerry West and Hot Rod Hunley. He was also the auther of six game-winning shots during West Virginia's 31-7 season and its run to the Big East tournament title and the Final Four.
