Kinetic Studies of Calcium-Induced Calcium Release in Cardiac Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Vesicles Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 4, 1 April 2003, Pages 2319-2330 Gina. Sánchez, Cecilia. Hidalgo and Paulina. Donoso Abstract Fast Ca2+ release kinetics were measured in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles actively loaded with Ca2+. Release was induced in solutions containing 1.2mM free ATP and variable free [Ca2+] and [Mg2+]. Release rate constants (k) were 10-fold higher at pCa 6 than at pCa 5 whereas Ryanodine binding was highest at pCa ≤5. These results suggest that channels respond differently when exposed to sudden [Ca2+] changes than when exposed to Ca2+ for longer periods. Vesicles with severalfold different luminal calcium contents exhibited double exponential release kinetics at pCa 6, suggesting that channels undergo time-dependent activity changes. Addition of Mg2+ produced a marked inhibition of release kinetics at pCa 6 (K0.5=63μM) but not at pCa 5. Coexistence of calcium activation and inhibition sites with equally fast binding kinetics is proposed to explain this behavior. Thimerosal activated release kinetics at pCa 5 at all [Mg2+] tested and increased at pCa 6 the K0.5 for Mg2+ inhibition, from 63μM to 136μM. We discuss the possible relevance of these results, which suggest release through RyR2 channels is subject to fast regulation by Ca2+ and Mg2+ followed by time-dependent regulation, to the physiological mechanisms of cardiac channel opening and closing.

Sulfhydryl Oxidation Modifies the Calcium Dependence of Ryanodine-Sensitive Calcium Channels of Excitable Cells Biophysical Journal, Volume 74, Issue 3, 1 March 1998, Pages 1263-1277 Juan José Marengo, Cecilia Hidalgo and Ricardo Bull Abstract The calcium dependence of ryanodine-sensitive single calcium channels was studied after fusing with planar lipid bilayers sarcoendoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from excitable tissues. Native channels from mammalian or amphibian skeletal muscle displayed three different calcium dependencies, cardiac (C), mammalian skeletal (MS), and low fractional open times (low Po), as reported for channels from brain cortex. Native channels from cardiac muscle presented only the MS and C dependencies. Channels with the MS or low Po behaviors showed bell-shaped calcium dependencies, but the latter had fractional open times of <0.1 at all [Ca2+]. Channels with C calcium dependence were activated by [Ca2+]<10μM and were not inhibited by increasing cis [Ca2+] up to 0.5mM. After oxidation with 2,2′-dithiodipyridine or thimerosal, channels with low Po or MS dependencies increased their activity. These channels modified their calcium dependencies sequentially, from low Po to MS and C, or from MS to C. Reduction with glutathione of channels with C dependence (native or oxidized) decreased their fractional open times in 0.5mM cis [Ca2+], from near unity to 0.1–0.3. These results show that all native channels displayed at least two calcium dependencies regardless of their origin, and that these changed after treatment with redox reagents.

Block of Sodium Channels by Divalent Mercury: Role of Specific Cysteinyl Residues in the P-Loop Region Biophysical Journal, Volume 79, Issue 3, 1 September 2000, Pages 1336-1345 Ichiro Hisatome, Yasutaka Kurata, Norihito Sasaki, Takayuki Morisaki, Hiroko Morisaki, Yasunori Tanaka, Tadashi Urashima, Toru Yatsuhashi, Mariko Tsuboi, Fumiyo Kitamura, Junichiro Miake, Shin-ichi Takeda, Shin-ichi Taniguchi, Kazuhide Ogino, Osamu Igawa, Akio Yoshida, Ryoichi Sato, Naomasa Makita and Chiaki Shigemasa Abstract Divalent mercury (Hg2+) blocked human skeletal Na+ channels (hSkM1) in a stable dose-dependent manner (Kd=0.96μM) in the absence of reducing agent. Dithiothreitol (DTT) significantly prevented Hg2+ block of hSkM1, and Hg2+ block was also readily reversed by DTT. Both thimerosal and 2,2′-dithiodipyridine had little effect on hSkM1; however, pretreatment with thimerosal attenuated Hg2+ block of hSkM1. Y401C+E758C rat skeletal muscle Na+ channels (μ1) that form a disulfide bond spontaneously between two cysteines at the 401 and 758 positions showed a significantly lower sensitivity to Hg2+ (Kd=18μM). However, Y401C+E758C μ1 after reduction with DTT had a significantly higher sensitivity to Hg2+ (Kd=0.36μM) than wild-type hSkM1. Mutants C753Aμ1 (Kd=8.47μM) or C1521A μ1 (Kd=8.63μM) exhibited significantly lower sensitivity to Hg2+ than did wild-type hSkM1, suggesting that these two conserved cysteinyl residues of the P-loop region may play an important role in the Hg2+ block of the hSkM1 isoform. The heart Na+ channel (hH1) was significantly more sensitive to low-dose Hg2+ (Kd=0.43μM) than was hSkM1. The C373Y hH1 mutant exhibited higher resistance (Kd=1.12μM) to Hg2+ than did wild-type hH1. In summary, Hg2+ probably inhibits the muscle Na+ channels at more than one cysteinyl residue in the Na+ channel P-loop region. Hg2+ exhibits a lower Kd value (<1.23μM) for inhibition by forming a sulfur-Hg-sulfur bridge, as compared to reaction at a single cysteinyl residue with a higher Kd value (>8.47μM) by forming sulfur-Hg+ covalently. The heart Na+ channel isoform with more than two cysteinyl residues in the P-loop region exhibits an extremely high sensitivity (Kd<0.43μM) to Hg+, accounting for heart-specific high sensitivity to the divalent mercury.

We studied the effect of oxidation of sulfhydryl (SH) residues on the inhibition by Mg2+ of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) in triad-enriched sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. Vesicles were either passively or actively loaded with calcium before eliciting CICR by dilution at pCa 4.6–4.4 in the presence of 1.2mM free [ATP] and variable free [Mg2+]. Native triads exhibited a significant inhibition of CICR by Mg2+, with a K0.5≈50μM. Partial oxidation of vesicles with thimerosal produced a significant increase of release rate constants and initial release rates at all [Mg2+] tested (up to 1mM), and shifted the K0.5 value for Mg2+ inhibition to 101 or 137μM in triads actively or passively loaded with calcium, respectively. Further oxidation of vesicles with thimerosal completely suppressed the inhibitory effect of [Mg2+] on CICR, yielding initial rates of CICR of 2μmol/(mg×s) in the presence of 1mM free [Mg2+]. These effects of oxidation on CICR were fully reversed by SH reducing agents. We propose that oxidation of calcium release channels, by decreasing markedly the affinity of the channel inhibitory site for Mg2+, makes CICR possible in skeletal muscle.

The Triumphant Return of El Guincho
After canceling a summer tour claiming "exhaustion," Spanish one-man band El Guincho (Pablo Díaz-Reixa) has decided to finally dar el salto from Barcelona to the US for a fall tour.
Let's not forget the fact that he finally released his album Alegranza! world-wide via Young Turks/XL Recordings so this probably has something to do with him finally rescheduling. But hey, we're not ones to criticize, if he wants to bring his brand of Afrobeat, dub, tropicália, bass (and any other style you want to add) mix to this side of the Atlantic, pues esta bienvenido a hacerlo.
He'll be hitting U.S. and Canadian cities by the end of November, ending in New York in early December.
El Guincho North American tour dates:
11-20 Los Angeles, CA – Echo
11-21 San Francisco, CA – The Independent

Bribery, fraud and dishonest conduct by people in power - corruption is a cancer in society, no matter where you live. But who are the guilty parties? Is corruption becoming socially accepted? And what can we do about it?
On this episode of South2North, Redi Tlhabi takes a look at the effect corruption has on our politics, society and culture.
Redi talks to Andrew Feinstein, a former parliamentarian and co-founder of Corruption Watch UK, an organisation dedicated to exposing bribery and corruption. Feinstein is also a whistleblower on illegal arms deals and the author of the book, The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, that investigates the dark side of this trillion-dollar industry.
Feinstein explains why corruption in the global arms trade has interested him specifically:
"It's estimated that the trade in weapons accounts for around 40 percent of all corruption in all world trade .…The thing that I think is so important about it is it runs to the core of the way we're governed, because the trade in weapons is extremely closely tied into the mechanics of government. The defence manufacturers, those who make the weapons, are closely tied in to governments, to militaries, to intelligence agencies and crucially to political parties. So they have enormous influence."
While Feinstein acknowledges that there is a security need for countries to have arms, he points out that the nature of the trade calls for greater transparency and regulation.
"The global trade in weapons is regulated less than the global trade in bananas. We're producing something that kills people. Surely it should be amongst the most highly regulated products that are produced on this planet."
Feinstein laughs off the over 2,000 footnotes in his book, explaining that he does not say anything that he cannot back up. He explains that even in the notoriously dangerous industry, people want to talk to him, and that he has even used Facebook to find ex-arms traders.
Asked about indexes that indicate that people perceive developing countries to be more corrupt, Feinstein explains that corruption is everywhere, including the US and Europe.
"I think corruption in those countries is simply more sophisticated."
South2North is also joined by Zwelinzima Vavi, the head of the largest workers union in Africa and anti-corruption activist; and Dr Dilip Menon, an expert on Indian corruption from the Centre for Indian Studies in Johannesburg.
Vavi has dealt with corporates and government in his role as the general secretary of Africa's largest workers union Cosatu.
He says: "Unless people in power fear the police, the judiciary and the media, you have lost the fight. It's always absolutely critical to have a mobilised citizenship who are ready to confront the most powerful in society - without that, I'm sorry, but we'll lose the fight."
Both Feinstein and Vavi have lost friends and upset colleagues with their anti-corruption stances. They have also both received death threats.
"That was very hard personally, but the issue with me is that I've tried to differentiate my own experience from the issues," says Feinstein.
Vavi pointed to the murders in Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa, explaining that it is not about hostility towards whistleblowers anymore, but real threat.
Dr Menon has written extensively around corruption in his home India. Menon believes that corruption is viewed as something necessary in the developing world, as something that has to be tolerated in order to become an economically successful country.
South2North can be seen each week at the following times GMT: Friday: 1930; Saturday: 1430; Sunday: 0430; Monday: 0830.

This week, U.S. President Barack Obama asked Congress to dedicate $10 million toward studying the effects of violent media—including games, which he singled out during a speech Wednesday morning.
In the wake of last month's tragic shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school—and the revelation that killer Adam Lanza had enjoyed shooter games like Call of Duty—violent video games have again become a significant topic in national conversation. And as part of a bigger plan to fight gun violence, Obama wants to see more studies on how games affect our behavior.
But do we really need more research? What about the studies that have already been done? Have researchers found any links between video games and violence? Will violent video games really make kids more aggressive? Or is this all just a massive waste of time and money?

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Personally, violent video games don't make me more violent in the slightest (I also don't really enjoy games like COD anyways)...but I can see how they might have an effect on some people.

Of course playing violent, competitive games brings out aggressive tendencies. Note that I say brings out. If its not already there to begin with, the player will typically give up on PvP playstyles at some point, if they ever tried them in the first place. Only the people who derive pleasure from dominating others will become hard-core fans of "deathmatch" and "arena" play. This includes team-based PvP, incidentally: there's very little actual teamwork happening in those kinds of online sessions. Furthermore, since every FPS I know of has been an R-rated experience for about five years now, this only amplifies the antisocial effect on players. Single player gaming is a whole different matter. Even though many recent RPGs are quite violent and essentially R-rated themselves, the vast majority of players aren't negatively affected. Its really the witch's brew of anonymous competition and ultra-violence that brings out the worst in people - but those people want that kind of rush.
Not a very scientific study and if anything, it only shows that people who play violent video games are somewhat inclined to write violent endings to already violent stories.
What's next? A drive to have violent books, magazines, video, etc.....censured by the Thought Police because they might induce violence?!! Please....people are violent because they make a conscious choice, not because there's some sort of subliminal hypnosis going on that makes them commit violent acts. If things really worked that way, we'd already be slaves to governments and corporations who have already tried sliding subliminal audio and imagery into just about every form of media....didn't work for them, doesn't work for clowns like this who want to implement stricter gun controls.

Gun violence is abominable. But putting the blame on videogames is just silly. The problem lies in a society which allows individuals such easy access to firearms with little or no oversight and control. It exposes a basic flaw in the way things are. Instead of curbing this glaring issue the US government yet again looks wildly around and settles on the first thing it lays eyes on.
I's like to point out that the Japanese play plenty of games as much as you Americans do (if not more) but I do not see many incidents such as Sandy Hook taking place there..
Apologies for my English. It is not my first language.
I would agree 100% with some that already said it. There is some that this WOULD bring out aggression tendencies. I would most would not, but the few that do it would defintly have a "trigger" effect, pardon the pun.
Guns are not "toys" in Asia like they are in America... silly kids and their guns.

Do you deny that the US has a definite gun culture? I know for a fact that the US Federal Assault Weapons Ban has expired and no attempt to renew it has even reached the house for vote. Many states require no permit nor registration for gun ownership. Let's focus on the fact that the sole purpose of most firearms is to kill/maim beasts/beings. Where I live in, you never hear a news story where a maniac with a gun rampaged around public places killing innocent bystanders. That's because guns are not as widespread in here as in many western nations. My point is that instead of curbing the spread of the CAUSE, the US government is again looking for excuses to either hide or overlook the fact that many US citizens have easy access to firearms. I am not bashing America at all, merely pointing out that blaming media and videogames for an inherent flaw in the society is BS.

I couldn't read passed the following statement.
In other words, playing Call of Duty makes you want to fight.It's not the game that makes a person want to fight, it's wanting to fight that makes the person want to play the game. It's not the gun that kills, it's the person holding the gun that kills. It's not the game that spawns violence, it's the person playing the game that spawns violence. The question is how capable each and every one of us are at committing a violent act.These little fun and games exercises are ridiculous. Anyone with half a brain could have predicted the outcome, before the exercise started.

Your 6-year old nephew.
Are you perhaps not aware that Modern Warfare 3 is rated Mature (17+) by ESRB?
That means "It has content that may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language. Games with this rating are generally considered appropriate for players 17 years of age and older."
So who is at fault here? The videogame maker who has a printed clear warning from a non-profit rating organisation saying that the content is appropriate only for adults, or the boy's parents who are so irresponsible they do not check what they are exposing their son to?
George W. Bush singed off on funding a $1.5 million study to determine the negative effects of video games. One conclusion was that preventing children from playing violent video games (or any other activity popular among their peers) resulted in social isolation which effected their behaviour more.
I'm not sure if the Columbine shooters played games I got the impression that games were not a big part of their lives but the Virginia Tech shooter actually found video games revolting. So now what?
Do race car movies make kids drive recklessly? Maybe. Do video games make kids temporarily act aggressively? Sure, OK. Does omitting individuals based on physical characteristics cause considerable harm? Yup. There are a million different ways we suck and simply blaming everything on video games is simplistic at best and ignorant at worst.
Personal thing ive been playing call of duty and they do make u violent but not the ingame content makes u violent its when u get nervous and cant stop dieng that makes u feel like u wonna destroy the world of that instant
So following their logic, if I play racing simulators and card games, I want to race others on the road in reality, causing huge accidents and attacking them with playing cards being used as throwing devices?
My local neighbourhood must be very fortunate then, as I have no car and no set of playing cards to hand!
Any stimulation from books; tv; computer games etc. is likely to give people thoughts on what they just experienced, especially people with vivid imaginations. However, failing to seperate fantasy from reality and then acting out such aggressive actions is a mental health disorder.
Violent videos games help me cope with stress. Alcohol on the other hand makes me violent.
This shit only happens in USA, the rest of the world doesn't become violent due to playing games for kids.
This **** only happens in USA, the rest of the world doesn't become violent due to playing games for kids.My my, are we in denial or just plain arrogant? Seriously, the rest of the world is no different? You will find violence in every populated area of the world, regardless of whether they just so happen to play games.
Truth be told I don't think so. I am a product of the 80s. My first game console was a passed down Atari 2600, later on I had a Sega Genesis with nothing but fighting games and sonic games. Now says I still play battlefield games, Batman games, Half-Life series, even Payday: The Heist. If anything they're more stress relief than anything else. While in middle and high school I would go home and play these games while my peers were busy getting arrested and transferred to Juvenile Hall.
Personally I believe this whole debate is the product of parents not wanting to take credit for their part in raising their children.
Really?! 10 Million is being wasted on research about Violent video games and real life violence?!
Fact of the matter is you've got to be a little bit messed in the head to walk into a school and shoot everybody, a video game will not force you to do this, the most a video game could do is suggest such a practice if the game has a violent enough story, but so do films and books (and music) so I'm pretty sure there's nothing to worry about.
That's all there is to it, why on earth would game developers develop games that force you to kill people in real life?
Wait a second, they're not forcing anybody! wow took me 5 seconds to work that out, guess 10 MILLION (seriously, 10,000,000) won't need to be wasted...
Yes. Violence comes from the animal nature of human. People killing/ fighting each other happens since the begin of our ancestors. There is no guilty on the Video games. Murderers just want to find an excuse and shirk their responsibility and shift the blame onto the games. There is nothing wrong with games. At least, I play shoot games but haven't committed any crime.
I agree with other posters that children playing adult rated games under age might be an issue (mainly due to the exposure of older players). Other than that, the whole issue is blatantly a highly subjective one and any attempt to perform a such study with the aim of reaching a definative conclusion/solution (clearly likely given source) is doomed to fail in the long term.
All I know is that level where you shoot civilians at a airport in modern ware 2 aint right, it gives crazy people bad ideas.
If I play violent video games & feel violent tendencies coming on I simply go & watch a few episodes of Pinkie & the Brain to deduce where they went wrong in their quest to take over the world then modify my own plan for taking over the world.
This subject has been discussed to death numerous times and I feel it's all to do with with the individuals themselves.
It's a touchy subject I know & we all have our personal feeling about it but there is no conclusive evidence that violent games & movies are the real culprits. The real culprit is the offenders weak state of mind at the time of the offence but bear in mind I'm just the average layman with no qualifications to diagnose the problem, It's just my view.
The most innocent title can cause an adverse situation.
That is why we need good parenting to act as a counter balance. Far too many gaming titles have dodgy morals and that is a big no no. ME3 & GTA are fine examples.
Games (as yet) does not spew the same amount of filth as Hollywood but I fear things are changing for the worse.
Been playing games since I was 12 and in last 14 years it has not made me any violent, as a matter of fact I can not even see extreme violence in movies. I still love games. We humans always have to blame something or someone but never our selves.
Does violent video games desensitize a child? Yes, but as a parent you should keep tabs on them to make sure that it is not real and look for odd behavior.
Really, I think that playing video games doesn't make you violent but you tend to let off some steam if you get pwned repeatedly if you're a noob to a game or if the child's mom and dad says, no more games for the day, "Johnny".
I suggest reading the SiFi novel "Ender's Game". It is a few years old but tells a chilling tale quite apropos to the article's premise.
I also think a close examination of the links between 1st person shooter game makers and military sniper recruiters might be in order.
No, it does not.
we already had brutal wars (world and race/ethnic/religion/beliefs) even before the advent of "violent video games".
however, I believe that "violence-prone" people have greater tendencies to like violent video games.

Well said.
I once played a game of Battlefield 3, and I killed a guy, so I went and killed a guy in real life cos' the game made me," said no one ever.
We all are capable of violence and we are all capable of love. Games, Movies, Media, etc. can't make us act one way or another this is a choice we make within ourselves however these things can and do influence us. I find if I play some violent games here and there it's no big deal however if I overdo it, I do get more irritable. I guess some of these questions become a chicken and egg type of question, which comes first violence or violent tendencies? As far as the recent shootings, I believe the answer is to have a more supportive mental health plan rather than eliminate all "bad" things.

If video games make one belligerent... then so does being swindled an inch from my "Foot Long" by Sub-way.

Video games are not, nor have they ever been, the problem. The problem is the culture and (poor) parenting that creates violent, aggressive individuals who are completely devoid of empathy and self-control. The sooner people figure this out the sooner we will be able to devise meaningful solutions that have a real impact. Until then, expect the typical knee-jerk reactions by voters/politicians/academics/etc. to accomplish exactly what they've always accomplished: not much of anything.
The US government is just avoiding the massive outrage that a ban on certain types of guns would cause because of whichever of your Amendments it is (I forget, sorry) that covers the "right to take up arms".
When it was written (and in the context in which it is was written - I.e. after a war), wasn't it possibly meant as "the right to take up arms _against a common enemy_" anyway...?
They are just seriously skating around the real issues here - no grubby politician who wants to keep their position will want to get in on THAT debate!
Perhaps they should also take care of parents who (as others have already stated) allow their under-age kids to play this stuff, and then complain that their kids are playing this stuff.
I also agree with the comments that the games don't make you violent - you need the tendency to want to hurt / maim / kill to play them.
I have played GTA4, but have so far managed to resist the urge to drive a vehicle into a load of people in the street, or go on a gun rampage (though the kids in the cities over here seem to prefer stabbing each other anyway...).
People are the problem. It's just that when either they get faced with the consequences, or their parents feel the need to defend their actions, it is a reason: "The video game made me him it! He was as gentle as a lamb before that!"
I'll leave it at that, but just end with saying that the first comment I made here is no way meant as anti-American. Very anti-government though. Including our own lying, cheating, thieving bastard government who skate around issues in exactly the same manner...
Im sure this has already been said but little kids dont need to be playing M rated games. This is a rating there for a reason. Do video games make someone "violent?" IMO, no. Maybe for children who don't know any better who lack actual parenting. I mean, you might get pissed and throw the controller or punch your tv, but that does not cause someone to go shoot people. If the question is "Do video games INSPIRE people to become violent?" I would say hardly... but movies are much much more effective as an "inspiration" than any video game these days. What I mean by inspiration, if you haven't already guessed is this: A mentally ill child/teenager/ or even "adult" watches...say...The Dark Knight (2nd batman movie with the Joker) then they might be "inspired" by what Heath Ledger's character, the Joker, does. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the Joker's "it's all part of the plan" philosophy. That same philosophy a mentally ill person could easily take too far. In video games, the characters hardly have any reasoning or thoughts for what they do... their either obviously good or bad and there's no question about it. With that being said, IMO, the anti-violence hammer needs to be slammed down on movies, not video games.
that*** lack actual parenting.
The reality behind the subject matter is all tied into politics, scaretactics and diversion. Never mind the fact that these crazy kids are able to aquire guns because they're littered around the country, no.. let's blame video games. Yes, we (the gamers) are (as you say) sick and tired of hearing about all these ****** that are trying to make games the new devil. Articles like these are just made to troll for debates. :p

2nd Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms. The amendment is intended to restrict the government's powers by forbidding them from seizing weapons from citizens. It's based not on the right to "take up arms against a common enemy," but on the right to defend one's self from an agressor (be this a home invader, mugger, etc., or even the gov't itself).
As this relates to the government not banning certain types of guns... It is not their place to do so (as established by the Second Amendment and the fact that it would end political careers). Although I agree that they need to take meaningful action instead of playing politics, none of the proposals from so-called "serious" gun-control leaders would do anything but create a false sense of security (see: wouldn't meaningfully impact net gun crime).
Im sure this has already been said but little kids dont need to be playing M rated games. ... ... Maybe for children who don't know any better who lack actual parenting.I really do get tired of hearing these types of comments. Has anyone ever considered the possibility that if its not safe for kids, then it may not be safe for adults either? If there is anything you want a kids to strive toward possessing, tell them they can't have it until they turn of age. Restricting kids from anything is one sure fire way of making sure they strive toward a goal of no longer having the restriction.
And the parenting thing, some kids grow up to spite their parents regardless of how they were raised. Pointing a finger at parents is as absurd as pointing a finger at games.

Only if all of cognitive psychology is wrong. Video games are a consumer item...They expose children to ideas and concepts. Parents and the culture they choose to immerse their children in determine how that exposure is processed and and later applied. Statistical outliers who develop away from the mean are hardly a refutation of the general theory.

For those who are disusing the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution here is the exact text:
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
To me that says I should have the right to own any weapon to defend my self and family from other individuals, outside threats, and even our own gov't.
As for all this discussion of whether not violent video games lead to more aggressive behavior - I personally do not think it by itself does, and that their are too many variables in any experient to draw a definitive conclusion. To property test this you would have to bring in a group of children with the same age, race, moral and ethical background, home life, personalities, etc - ie: clones of each other. If "Timmy" shows more aggressive behavior after playing violent video games, then there must be a connection! Lets not take into account that Timmy is already a rather aggressive kid who's father is a **** and yells at him every night. Or that Bob doesn't show an increase in aggressive behavior, but it wasn't taken into account that both his parents are pacifist who are very polite and well manor, along with their son. Overall, their are too many variables to diffidently test this.
And IMO I think it has to do more with the patently and the child's home life. I have been exposed to violent media a fair amount in my life, and probably some of it too young. I was bullied, I had/have plenty of access to firearms, but I never had the urge to shoot of my school. I am not considered an aggressive person my my friends and co-workers.
Someone was arguing that more gun control would fix this. I disagree. The area I live in a semi-rural area. Just about every house hold has a firearm or six. Hunting is state-wide pass time, and is more or less a month long holiday here. Asking time off for hunting is perfectly normal, and most business slow way down during hunting season (except the sporting good stores :P). Everyone of my friend who was raised here owns a gun, and by the age of 10 knew how to shoot it and was instructed in proper gun safety. There has never been a school shooting in my state.
Video games are a consumer item...They expose children to ideas and concepts.Children expose children to ideas and concepts. Hardly something you can blame on a specific parent, when a completely different parent in the same school was the weak link. What makes matters worse is the thought of how many years these ideas and concepts have been circulating. You see it's not something any one parent can control.
Ok, I sort of missed the whole point of the 2nd Amendment...It was some time ago that I read them and I'd forgotten those points (well, the whole point really!).
My apologies for not researching first.
And I agree that anyone should be able to defend their home, thier families and themselves. Over here, if someone breaks in the best you can do is watch them rob you....Or was that revised recently as well...? lol...Off to do some reading I think...

I laugh when I see all the studies showing "proof" of aggression being sweating, rising blood pressure, accelerated breathing, etc. Guess what? People get that way playing Monopoly, Chess, Checkers and Bridge.
I had to get near the end of the article before I saw the definitive word on this - competition. It's competition that makes the game a game. People don't mow down other people in CoD because they get a hard-on looking at the blood splatters - it's because they're winning the competition.
I have no doubt that adventure/action games and movies generates aggressiveness. After I saw the Matrix I wanted to jump into that world big-time and become a kung-fu, machine gunnin' fool. But that lasted about 5 minutes because I'm a normal, rational human being.
Tens of millions play computer games each and every day. And at the end of their play session they don't grab some guns and head to the nearest school for a little blood-letting. The politicians - wanting to make themselves look like they're doing something - want an easy scapegoat, so they conveniently point fingers at games and movies. Because addressing the real problem, which is mental illness and gun security is too hard
How about we not blame the 160 million people who play games and manage to get along just fine in life for the actions of 6 (who are coincidentally broken inside) that commit these heinous crimes against humanity?
Children expose children to ideas and concepts. Hardly something you can blame on a specific parent, when a completely different parent in the same school was the weak link. What makes matters worse is the thought of how many years these ideas and concepts have been circulating. You see it's not something any one parent can control.
Your premise is correct, but I have a difficult time agreeing with your conclusion.
Here's my argument: Children are exposed to ideas and concepts throughout their development. While it is true that parents cannot exert an absolute control over what their children are exposed to, they do exert a primary influence by (1) choosing the dominant culture that their children are exposed to, (2) identifying positive and negative influences and attempting to eliminate the latter, and (3) teaching their children effective coping skills through both direct and indirect communication (which enables them to effectively handle peer pressure, cultural and interpersonal conflicts, emotions, etc.). As a result, effective parenting plays a major role in shaping non-genetic cognitive factors; most significantly, as it pertains to the discussion topic, the the ability to empathize and establish a rational sense of morality.
Does this mean that parents can simply mold children's minds into whatever they deem desirable with proper shrewdness and savvy? No. Outside influences are too numerous to effectively mitigate and "ruling with an iron fist" would undermine individuality and likely cause the child to rebel, both points you've touched on. Moreover, genetic factors are completely uncontrollable. If someone is born with a sociopathic personality, you won't be able to deprogram it by showing them how great altruism is or by going full medieval and quite literally beating Jesus into them.
Nevertheless, parenting still plays the lead role in early childhood and adolescent development because effective parenting nurtures beneficial cognitive skills and mitigates negative ones. As such, it is not a trivial aspect of the problem. By contrast, video games are a trivial influence because they do not attempt to exert their influence upon users, they just provide a consumable (fantasy). How that fantasy is digested depends on individual cognition, which we've determined is highly affected by parenting.
Therefore, blaming bad parenting for producing bad apples is not silly, as is the practice of blaming the crop on video games. The criticism isn't faultless by any means, but it is far more worthwhile to investigate than this tripe about violence in media.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Welcome, Brandi Glanville!
by Free Britney at .The mean girls came out to play on the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Monday night. THG examines all the cattiness in our weekly +/- recap!
We start off with Adrienne and Paul still waiting on Kim. Minus 5. The plane is on the runway and everyone is waiting but still no Kim. When she finally arrives she looks exactly how Paul suspected... intoxicated. Of course no one can say for sure but if this is Kim's behavior sober, that's just pretty darn scary.
Kim took an awfully long time to take her sunglasses off. Was it simply that she wasn't happy with her makeup? As her story goes, her power went out and she had to go to a neighbor's house to apply it before she could leave for the airport.
When they finally arrives at the game Kim just won't shut up. Plus 8 for the look on Adrienne's face as Taylor blathers on and for Paul who just tells her to be quiet and watch the game. Somehow Kim doesn't strike me as a big sports fan.
Then we cut to Taylor who has run to Kyle to complain about an article in the paper about her and Russell's disintegrating marriage. Kyle asks where they could have gotten such information. Umm. Ladies, look up. Do you see those cameras following you around. Your personal lives are now public fodder and in case you've forgotten, you signed up for this. Minus 15 for being oblivious to the obvious.
Taylor and Russell are so serious about their privacy that they have their house staff sign confidentiality agreements but they sign on for a reality TV show? Why on earth would they do that? Minus another 10 for making no sense at all but as they say, common sense isn't very common.We didn't see much of Camille. She decided to take a trip. Since she's still dealing with the end of her marriage and the emotional fall out, she's decided to do that in Hawaii. Plus 9. It sounds like a good a place as any.
Finally we get to Kyle's charity cocktail party and the ladies are in rare form. First Lisa accosts Taylor. She hounds her about her severe weight loss. Although I understand the fear, having this conversation in the middle of a party seemed pretty rude. Minus 7.
That leads Taylor to wonder if Lisa is the one who leaked her personal information to the press since her weight loss was mentioned in the article. I suppose it is a coincidence but considering Taylor looks like she's wasting away, more people should be concerned for her welfare.
In Taylor's defense, it's hard to accept help from a woman who keeps reminding you that she's not your friend. Minus 5 for what felt like a backhanded offer from Lisa. Although I honestly think Lisa was trying to be helpful in her own bossy bitch type of way.
Then we meet Adrienne's friend Brandi and everyone is in an uproar. Brandi Glanville is Eddie Cibrian's ex. The one he left for LeAnn Rimes. Ouch. And heaven forbid she's been seen with Cedric. Because of it the poor woman can't shake Lisa's glare all evening. Minus 5.
I found Brandi funny, whether she's trying to be is a whole other question. She broke her leg wearing extremely high heels and then continues to wear stilettos with her cast. Now that earns a Plus 10 for sheer ridiculousness.
But the ladies got really catty towards Brandi. Speculating on her relationships and making fun of her heels while the woman is sitting mere feet away. I really hate those kind of mean girl tactics, Minus 12.
Something tells me Brandi isn't going to go quietly. It looks like we'll being seeing more of her so the ladies will either need to learn how to play nice, or sharpen their claws. Which do you think it will be.

OK guys, I used to like this show, it is the only real house wife that I watched. I watched it because I thought Kyle was so cool. After a bad first season, the second is just as rediculous, the regulars are mean and caddy. Especially Kyle. I think they could easily be n the movie "mean girls" and they are 41 +, pretty sad, don't ya think? I don't know why Bravo puts this crap on tv, I guess because it is funny to watch how stupid people can be. And the cast of The Real House Wives is certainly humorous. I will say one positive thing, and this is for Camille, you have certainly changed through your ordeal, I like who you have become, I hope it is sincere... you go girl. And Kyle you suck.
Didn't anyone else catch her lie about the power being off? She first said her power went off, the whole neighborhood blocks power went off.. Then said she had to go to a neighbor to finish getting ready. Umm.. Sure. The only thing she was doing in the dark was smoking her meth. Pathetic. She is the worst real housewife in history.
After seeing Brandi on this show, I have more sympathy for Eddie. Kim was either drunk or high on something. It's not her personality. When she's sober I like her alot. I feel bad for Taylor because she is suffering and we all know how it's going to turn out. By all means, if Lisa is offering you her friendship and a helping hand - take it!! I missed Camille and of course love Kyle and Adrienne.

Not only is this a beautiful salad, it's so yummy too! The dressing is so easy but it's wonderfully creamy and sweet/tangy. I've made it twice and it's been a hit both times. This is one of my favorite salads now because it's so quick to make and eye-appealing and healthy too! Can't miss with this one.

The airport expansion in the southeast debate is really getting quite ridiculous &, if I have managed to remember them all, the runners & riders (in no particular order) at present seem to be:* A third & possibly fourth runway to the north of LHR* Extra runways to the west of LHR with tunnels over the M25* A new airport in Oxfordshire or somewhere to the west of LHR* A second runway at Stansted* A second runway at Gatwick* A second runway at Luton* Boris Island & other floating airports* Expand Manston* Expand Birmingham* Link Northolt to LHR via a (very) long taxiway (shades of Schiphol!) * Rail link between LHR & Gatwick* Rail link between LHR & Stansted* LHR Terminal 6 at Cardiff!Every day seems to see yet another (often preposterous) idea being tossed in & at this rate someone will be suggesting reopening Croydon or even moving London to another part of the country! Perhaps I should throw a few into the melting pot myself - what about those big disused runways at Greenham Common, Lyneham, Upper Heyford or Alconbury or that large hardly used airfield at Fairford? I am slightly surprised that nobody has yet mentioned Bournemouth, which historians will remember was, for a couple of years after the last war, the UK's only intercontinental airport until LHR (or LAP as it was) opened. How long before things get even sillier & the next thing you know somebody is mentioning virtually all the smaller airports & airfields within a radius of 150 miles of London, & there are a lot of them, as possible candidates? Hopefully someone will bite the bullet soon & finally have the courage to make a (sensible) decision & actually do something, rather than leave it in the "too difficult to deal with" box. Whatever happens, I have a feeling that it will be a case of too little too late & am not holding my breath. My thanks to Dave Sawyer, Howard Sole & Paul Smith for some extra information regarding yesterday's biz list:16+03 Hansa an earlier date is 07/09/7146 MS760 an earlier date is 25/04/70113 MS760 an earlier date is 06/04/71119 MS760 an earlier date is 05/12/71F-GEPQ SN601 add date of 07/10/88F-BTTU SN601 presents an interesting puzzle. It would appear that two SN601s carried the registration F-BTTU - c/ns 22 & 37. F-BTTU (22) was reported at Gatwick on 07/02/78, but had supposedly become TN-ADB in 08/77 before being w/o as such on 30/03/79.

Howard was a logger from 1945 to 1968. After a devastating logging accident, Howard chose a second career in Real Estate. Upon retirement, he began H & H Rubber Stamps, serving merchants and the banking community for another 20 years.
Many family members and friends lovingly referred to Howard as "Mr. Sequim" because of his accomplishments and involvement in many local organizations. In addition to volunteering with his church, Trinity United Methodist, he drove for "Wheels", a forerunner of the transit system, was involved in Sequim Community Aid, serving as president for eight years, and a charter member of The Kiwanis Club. Howard was also a Hospice volunteer from 1988-2001, moving beds into homes of people who needed them and he was also an active volunteer with the Museum and Arts Center.
In 1981, Howard was selected as Sequim's Citizen of the year and honored at the state level. Sequim Mayor Jim Dinan appointed Howard president of the International Year of the Disabled Persons, working to get handicapped parking and curb cutouts for easier wheelchair access. He was also Honorary Grand Pioneer for the 107th Sequim Irrigation Festival in 2002.
Howard was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy (Feb. 2000); and brothers Wilford Herrett and Harold Herrett.
After living at the Sequim 5th Avenue Retirement Center for three years, Howard moved to Vancouver, Washington in 2004 to be closer to family.

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Deep rich red color infuses into a beverage with the addition of hibiscus flowers. Almost cranberry in flavor, it's rich in vitamin C but more importantly it's got the "zing" people look for in lots of herbal blends. Common to pre-packaged blends, we prefer to use this as a base or addition to your custom tea requests. In South America, the flower is steeped alone, iced, and sweetened for a bright refreshing beverage. We love it in our Hibiscus Margarita! Brew for 4-6 min. at 210°F; 1 steeping. |

Aurisonics ASG-1 Rev 1.3
" I quite literally took a shot with these after the NY Meet. It was between these and the UE900s and I'm rather content with the decision, from the cable to the build, to the fit. Everything works. These are clearly stage monitors tuned so you can ear voices clearly and exact positioning of instruments. Because of this they have a great and slightly forward midrange. However for what they do..." --kyuuketsuki

" SE-5 is a true marvel of engineering, one of a few headphones/IEMs I can say brought a new level of detail and presentation to music and is truly high-fidelity, that is directly comparable to live performance given a high quality recording.

- Women's Vanguard Jacket (Review by By JetMT)
Received my Trillium jacket last night and I LOVE IT! I am an avid skier who skis in bounds, sidecountry and backcountry terrain. I am 5' 8", 140lbs and I ordered a large. It is big on me but that is how I prefer my ski jackets so I can layer up on the cold days and still not feel constricted. The arm length and torso length are perfect. The color is very attractive. The jacket is extremely comfortable. The fabric is thick and a little heavy but appears to be very durable. The zippers are strong and waterproof. It has nice Velcro on the cuffs and I am able to tighten it down nice and snug around my small wrists and NOT feel like I have a large amount of fabric bunched up.The hood completely zips off and also fits PERFECTLY with my ski helmet. The jacket looks great with or without the hood. The brim of the hood has a wire of some kind and can be molded to fit your head/helmet. The inside of the jacket is lined with soft fabric and so are the deep hand pockets. There are two large mesh pockets on the inside to stuff your skins or other gear while venturing into the backcountry. There is a powder skirt on the inside that fits nice and snug for those deep powder days and is completely removable when it is not needed. The jacket is music compatible and has a headphone hole to the left chest pocket. Inside the left chest pocket is a nicely built slot that fits my ipod perfectly. This allows you to use the pocket for other things at the same time without worrying about your music device falling out. The pit zips are BIG and go from your collar bone to under your arm (just below your elbow). This will allow some great air flow while skinning in the backcountry.I have no problem spending the money on a jacket with this high of quality. I know for a fact this jacket will handle the roughest winter days, keep my dry on the wettest days and keep me warm on the windiest days. I will be grabbing this jacket EVERYTIME I got outside this fall, winter, and spring. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

- Women's Vanguard Jacket (Review by By Jessie in the OR Store)
Gore-Tex Softshell for bomber waterproofness and a smooth, clean look! Enough length to keep the pow out of your britches, and crisp, functional features! Whether you're ripping up your favorite sidecountry stash or just plain want to stay cozy in the lift line, this piece performs! I love the blue color... looks good on most skin tones/ hair colors : )

first thing I've ever drawn using SAI; figured it might as well be something zombie-related
Fantastic work!
First thing that popped into my head: Zombie Steve Jobs!
(It's really good.)
Very Nice! Awesome as usual! :)
I plan on putting more drawings up that are more updated, thanks for all the love on my old pics though!
Good pic and Omega you have a good eye in seeing that hooded figure in the backround.
Just amazing!
Amazing work as usual.
You need to have a gallery screening or something.
It would be awesome!

From May 1994 to December 2007 (the most recently completed fiscal year) EMERGENCY's total financial resources were 136,621,736 Euros. The average administrative overhead was 5.89% of total budget. VISION: EMERGENCY works to implement Human Rights based Health Projects, according to the principles of Equality, Quality and Social responsibility (EQS). EQUALITY - Every human being has the right to be cured regardless his economic and social condition, gender, race, language, religion and opinions. Standards of health care, set by the progress of medical knowledge, should be delivered equally and without discrimination to all patients. QUALITY - Quality systems are based on community's needs, up to date with the achievements of medical science, and not oriented, shaped or determined by lobbies and corporations involved in the health industry. Quality systems strengthen and generate human and material resources. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY - Governments should have the health and well being of their citizens as their priority, and allocate adequate human and financial resources. The services provided by Health Systems and humanitarian projects in the health sector must be free of charge for all.
