The coolest thing ever seen on the Interwebs
I was struggling to meet a deadline, procrastinating on a million errands, and avoiding answering 100 e-mails -- in short, I was stressed. Then I saw this, and nothing seemed like a big deal anymore.
What is it? Why, it's everything. It's an interactive display of The Scale of the Universe. Twin 14-year-olds Cary and Micheal Huang built this elegant, mind-blowing rendering of the entire universe. And with their curiosity and gumption, they created the best tool I've ever encountered to "put things in perspective." Kurt Vonnegut would be proud. … Read more

The House of Representatives chamber at the state Capitol is a big box that, by its very design, seems to demand certain behavior.
The 70 desks sit in nine sets of rows straight as a ruler. The center row has seven single desks. The other rows contain eight pairs of desks, tight side-by-side; the exception is the set of far right rows, where there are seven pairs and one single, a function of the need to fit precisely 70.
The leaders of the two political parties sit across the back, Democrats Bernie Hunhoff and Mitch Fargen to the farthest left and Republicans David Lust and Justin Cronin to the farthest right.
Overall the seating is such that Democrats occupy 19 seats on the left side of the chamber. Republicans hold 50 seats, filling all four of the right and the center rows, and taking up most of two rows left of center.
The one independent sits smack in the middle of the Republican pack on the right.
Legislators don't get to choose where they sit. They might be able to pass a word along to influence the decisions made by House Speaker Val Rausch. But they generally will sit as teams, based on political party, and they aren't allowed to move to a different seat any time they choose.
This is also how the automated voting machine tracks the ayes and nays on roll call votes. Each desk has a pair of buttons, green for yes and red for no.
The clerk, Karen Gerdes, unlocks the voting machine for a roll call only at the direction of the speaker or other presiding officer. She has a screen that shows her who has and hasn't voted. She calls the names of those who haven't voted.
If a legislator is on the House floor, the legislator must vote. To avoid voting, they sometimes take a walk, the euphemism for leaving the chamber.
The leaders, because they sit in the back, can look up and down the rows of desk and see which button, red or green, is lit on each legislator's desk.
Legislators known as whips, essentially the leaders' lieutenants, in turn can move up and down the rows to urge their assigned whip-group members that the right color be chosen.
The whips also can poke their heads out the doors to see whether a legislator has been sidetracked.
The 70 representatives are truly boxed in. There are only six aisles among those rows of desks, including the two aisles on the far outsides, and they are wide enough for one person to walk through. They also run only between the front and the back.
When the representatives are in their desks, it's impossible to cut through rows left or right. Getting across requires walking all the way to the front, or all the way to the back.
It is a place, intentional or not, where legislators must face the front and stay in line.
This past week, Speaker Rausch decided that one of the freshmen, Rep. Stace Nelson, had gone too far out of line.
So Rausch, R-Big Stone City, punished Nelson, R-Fulton, by moving him to a different desk. Nelson now sits directly below where the clerk and the speaker stand.
Nelson is a big guy with a big passion for liberty. But he doesn't seem to have a lot of experience in playing well with others.
Many times in debates he hits harder with his comments than is common in the modern way of legislating. And when he gets hit back by comments from another legislator, he gets offended and comes back harder.
That's what happened between Nelson and Rep. Nick Moser, R-Yankton, on Tuesday afternoon during an already tense debate over raising court fees for record searches.

Essentials of Economic Theory

John Bates Clark was an American adherent of the Marginalist School who engaged the Austrians and learned from them. He delivered many blows against the Historical School in favor of the idea of pure theory. He was also one of the first economists to emphasize the importance of potential completion in markets with a single or few firms and to view competition as a rivalrous process. Clark contributed to laying the foundation of what would later become a distinctly American Austrian School.
Mises regarded Clark as an outstanding economist, perhaps his favorite American economist.

Veganism first in Westminster
Labour MP Kerry McCarthy spoke about vegan solutions to global food security, healthy diet and cutting climate change at an adjournment debate at about 10pm on World Vegan Day (November 1 2011). It was shown live on BBC parliament TV and parliament live TV.
Kerry McCarthy and Vegan Society staff Jasmijn de Boo, George Gill, Amanda Baker and Rebecca Henderson also hosted an event at 2pm on World Vegan Day at Portcullis House where roughly 15 MPs and 65 others (including the Parliamentary Assistants of numerous MPs) and representatives from NGOs saw our new film Making the Connection and took home free vegan cupcakes and Vegan Society literature.
Vegan Society Head of Information Rosamund Raha took the opportunity to mention the World Vegan Day adjournment debate when she spoke for fifteen minutes on the Hannah Murray Show (Talk Radio Europe) on 1 November.
Kerry McCarthy MP has already invited The Vegan Society to run a bigger UK House of Commons event for World Vegan Day 2012.
Catering in Parliament
Arrangements were made for House of Commons restaurants to put on vegan options during the week beginning Monday 31 October and, helped by the information posters that we supplied, five House of Commons restaurants averaged 12% vegan meals sold. The chefs received very positive feedback.
Facebook Update
Engagement through Facebook continues to go from strength to strength with The Vegan Society having nearly 80,000 fans. Many experienced vegans regularly check our pages and help those trying out veganism for the first time: swapping recipes or discussing vegan issues.
The Vegan Pledge
We are receiving large numbers of requests to take The Vegan Pledge with over 2,000 new pledges in 2011. A significant number of those people are staying vegan. We plan to increase this number in 2012 by giving the pledge more publicity.
The Vegan Trademark
In December 2011, Vegan Society Business Development Department reached the landmark of 400 Trademark holders. This means that over twelve thousand products now carry The Vegan Society Trademark and the number is increasing year on year.
We continue to sponsor events throughout the UK and elsewhere. Some events are local food fairs held in village halls and others are large events such as Vegfest in Bristol. We also sponsored activities such as a vegan category at Hospitality at the NEC where competitors are invited to prepare, cook and present an imaginative, nutritionally balanced vegan main course in 30 minutes.
Working Closely with the Vegan Prisoner Support Group (VPSG)
Our Advocacy Officer, Rebecca Henderson, has worked with VPSG to produce joint publications such as prison caterer's newsletters and guides for caterers and vegan prisoners. Our joint efforts mean that catering provision in prisons around the UK is of a high standard with prison caterers actively competing with each other to win the VPSG/Vegan Society awards.
Making the Connection
Tens of thousands of people have viewed The Vegan Society film (made with Environment Films) Making the Connection online. The film is now available with subtitles in eight different languages. If you have not seen it yet please do view it here: http://www.vegansociety.com/resources/making-the-connection.aspx
None of these achievements could have been done without the generosity of our members and supporters. We would like to thank all of those who support our vital work. You can find out more about supporting us at: http://www.vegansociety.com/support-us/

Paris - crepes on every corner. Try the sugar and Grand Marnier. Mmmm.
And pastries. Oh Lord, the pastries. Ditto for Vienna. If you've got a sweet tooth, no better places on earth than France and Austria.
Paris - crepes on every corner. Try the sugar and Grand Marnier. Mmmm.
And pastries. Oh Lord, the pastries. Ditto for Vienna. If you've got a sweet tooth, no better places on earth than France and Austria.
When at the Eiffel Tower try to get there early in the morning. There are some awesome braissieres (spelling??) - French street cafes. When I went it was like 10 francs for coffee, juice and a basket of wonderful french pastry. I was on quickie business trips when there so that is all I have to really add.
I can totally second going to Berlin. I know some great places there and the white asparagus should be close to in right now. It is awesome. I also know a great place about 10 kilometers from the Polish border that used to be a barn on a baron's lands. It is a bit mind numbing to sit in front of an open hearth fireplace, roughly 20 feet wide, that was built before our country was established ... great roasted pork leg there - a true German delicacy.
I married a Slovak so I have some knowledge of Central European food or at least Slovak style food.
In general, Hungarian influenced food is the best IMO. Much more flavor than German/Austrian food with the big exceptions being Schnitzel and pastries.
I like and have had Goulash, Goulash soup, Rezen (Schnitzel), Potato pancakes (I forgot what these are called in Slovak) Palacinky I think, Hungarian sausage (better than the German and Polish counterparts), cucumber salad (very simple but goes great with Schnitzel),
One of my favorites is a street/party food. It is called Chlebicky (which means little bread). It basically an open face sandwich. It is a piece of French bread spread with.... nevermind here is a link.
chlebicky | Czechmatediary
We top it off with a sliced spicy pepper.
Halusky is the national Slovak dish, while very good it is also very heavy.
Don't ask me how, but I found the website for that place I mentioned earlier.
Restaurace U Pravdu, Zitna 15, Praha
The site's in Czech, but their menu is posted (Jídelní Lístek) and there are English translations of the dishes. The dish I mentioned earlier is prsa paní tchyne or "chicken breasts according to mother-in-law" (sorry, I don't know how to get all the little marks over the vowels). It's a cute little place and the service is really friendly.
Enjoy your trip!
In Paris - L-'As du Falafel on Rue des Rosiers. In the middle of the Jewish Quarter. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!! There will be a long line and once you get your falafel, you'll understand why. Make sure you get the hot sauce.
Also on Paris, crepes with Nutella and bananas. Great walking snack. Found just about anywhere.
Czech Rep - drink all the fresh Pilsner you can get.
^^^bleeding purple, the jewish quarter is le marais that i mentioned in my post.
I just remembered...
Nuremberg is like the world epicenter of gingerbread. It was amazing there. Not just cookies, but actual cakes and things made out of it.
Can't, but I wish we could. We are going on a cruise up the Danube river so we're pretty much locked into our destination cities.
Thanks, and I definitely will.
Mmmmm, Brats! Can't wait.
Sugar and Grand Marnier sounds awesome. I'm sure I'll have a few but my must-haves are that one and Nutella with Banana. I love Nutella! I started a thread about it a couple of years ago. I'm sure it's gone by now.
Can't wait to just chill at a cafe and enjoy some pastries and coffee. I have a huge sweet tooth.
Again, wish I could. Will definitely be back to Europe again. The Euro's really know how to eat.
I'm in. Can't wait.
Honestly, how the heck did you find it? Talk about a needle in an Internet Hay-Stack. The food sounds great and I love that they have English translations below. Plus, it's a pub which is our type of place. I'm definitely adding this to my map.
Thanks, Ketel!
You can count on that!
Learn something new every day. Will definitely hunt down some Gingerbread.
Damn, wish I saw this earlier. I was just in that neck of the woods in September/October, and in Prague, you definitely have to try some goulash (the potato dumplings are insanely good) as well as some roasted pig's knee/knuckle. It's like carnitas times a million. And in Paris, the only way to get a crepe is banana and nutella.

How Browsing Antique Stores Teaches Kids History
July 5, 2012
© Melissa Taylor
"Look mom," points my daughter to a kitchy glass figurine. My kids eyes go straight to the colorful china and crystal. It's love at first sight. I smile and nod knowingly. I liked that kind of thing when I was a kid, too.
Then we discover the motherlode of household antique shops, the best place to appreciate the present and the past.
The house-turned-store is our last stop and my favorite. I challenge my girls to pick up an old iron with just one hand, to look at the Edison record player and predict how it worked, and to feel the keys of an old typewriter. We compare things we use in modern life to what people used years ago. The washboards get us talking about laundry. Old dolls remind us that even a long time ago kids played with dolls, too. Many of the antique items make my kids ask, "What is this?" Their curiosity and our discussions are rich with lessons from the past and appreciation of the present.
We don't buy anything. Today we're appreciating.
If we did buy anything, it would be good practice in their financial skills -- to budget their money and make good buying decisions. I can imagine the girls starting a collection of something antique like post cards or keys. (I think I would collect old keys - they are so interesting!)
A small room devoted to western antiques -- with the most amazing old nails and a saddle - got my kids to connect to their grandma's history. "No wonder Mimi always rode bareback," said my daughter. "That saddle looks really heavy."
What a day filled with learning and all for free! Maybe tonight we'll even watch Antiques Roadshow.

Army Women 4-0 in NERFU |
Colleges - Women's College | |
Army women improved to 4-0 in NERFU's division one after its 49-0 win over Boston University, which is now 2-1-1. With the victory, the cadets have scored 201 points and haven't allowed any against during league season. Several players had multi-try performances, including Jess Sexauer, who came off the bench after National Championship MVP Annie Lee left with an injury, Sharon Gianessi and wing Allison Wilson. "With the exception of our scrumhalf and outside center, our entire backline is back," Army coach Will Riddle said. "Our strength is still in our outside play, and we're sticking to our style of play. We are rebuilding our scrum and lineouts, which has been difficult with only one of eight returners present." National team scrum coach Bill Le Clerc is on staff for both the men's and women's teams, so that's a big plus for the reigning national champs. Riddle was pleased with the team's turnaround in the tackle area, which needed some improvement as well. "We were giving up two or three meters and every tackle, and that was killing us," Riddle reflected on previous matches. "We let the attacking side stay on the front foot. Again it's difficult when you only have one returning forward and three freshmen in the starting 15. They're learning the intensity part of the game, which is good." One of the new forward freshman showing promise is flanker Nicki Capple. She eventually left play with a shoulder injury, but her time on the pitch was well noted. In other DI NERFU news, UConn defeated Northeastern 48-0 and saw Rosie Edreira (3), USA U20 Eagle Alycia Washington (2), Jenny Jaekle and Cassie Eilers score tries, while Chelsea Martin slotted four conversions. Boston College outlasted UMass 10-0 for the team's second win of the season. |

$287 million for New York to rebuild roads, bridges damaged by Hurricane Sandy
Staff Report | February 15, 2013
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Feb. 15 announced $287 million in emergency relief funds for New York to rebuild roads and bridges damaged by natural disasters, with $250 million specifically designated for Hurricane Sandy recovery.
LaHood was joined by Senator Charles Schumer in New York City for the announcement. The funding in the Feb. 15 announcement is part of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, passed by Congress and signed by President Obama.
"With this funding, we are delivering on our promise to help New York and the rest of the East Coast rebuild and recover from Hurricane Sandy and other natural disasters," said LaHood in a written statement. "We will continue to work with the region as it rebuilds, but in keeping with President Obama's leadership, we will work with the states to 'fix it first' by focusing on infrastructure projects that will create jobs and help businesses fastest."
Funds from the Federal Highway Administration will be used to reimburse the state for expenses associated with damage mainly from Hurricane Sandy along with a handful of previous weather events. The funds will help pay for reconstructing or replacing damaged highways and bridges, establishing detours and replacing highway infrastructure devices such as lighting and guardrails.
"Our priority after an emergency is restoring the transportation network so first responders and residents can get where they need to go," said Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez. "We want to be sure that states have all the financial backing they need from the federal government to repair roads and bridges and rebuild local economies, and that life can get back to normal for people living in affected communities."
In addition, to help states begin recovery work sooner, the Department issued a new rule in today's Federal Register to streamline the federal environmental review process so repairs on storm-damaged roads, bridges and transit facilities are not hampered by delay. Required under the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act" (MAP-21), which President Obama signed into law last July, the new rule speeds the recovery process by reducing the environmental review for transit, road and bridge repair projects that substantially conform to the preexisting design, function and location as the original.

You have to unroot and uninstall the SU app. Otherwise it wont go away. The SU app installs as a system app that's why it wont go away with a FDR.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
What he said.. ^^ I wish if were that easy to revert back to stock
Ok, how do you unroot my phone? I want to make sure I do it right. Thanks.
Are you on ics?? If so I would download matts utility 1.8 I think... don't do it yet.. make sure I'm right before you do this.. or you're gonna have a bad time.
Yes, I'm currently on ICS. 4.0.4. Let me know and if you have the link, thanks.
What utility or process did you use to root your phone? Just curious because depending on how you rooted your phone, there may be some things you would do differently. I am familiar with Matt L Groff's utility 1.8 or 1.81.
Do you have voodoo root keeper installed? Use that to unroot then as jstafford mentions in the second post uninstall superuser from your phone's root directory.
If I'm not mistaken, Rootkeeper only saves a backup of Superuser, so if you "Temp Unroot" to take an OTA, I believe it saves SU somewhere else in the phone, and then restores it when you re-root. But it doesn't delete it.
I used Matt's utilities to root my phone. It doesn't get any easier.
So MattyP how do you get all the ladies??
'MattyP' I just offer classes on upgrading their OS...
Really?? That's it??
'MattyP' yeah, the chicks love it when you give em an upgrade...

Oops, my bad... my instructions are in reverse. Superuser is installed in the root directory and can not be uninstalled through typical means (like an uninstall button). So he would have to be rooted then go into the root directory of the phone to delete the superuser apk and then unroot using voodoo root keeper.

Antique basketry in a small series
In the ancient historical tradition of craftsmanship baskets are made to the "Antique wicker" Roman-shop pages by hand after antique models. Since there is little archaeological evidence, the reconstruction is a true challenge. It is supported primarily by Roman fresco paintings and stone carvings.
All Basketry - if basket with straight bars, sovereign fruit basket, a basket of dried flowers for decoration or with crossed rods - they are all fully operational and braided from various species of willows; faithful to the original illustrations.
After much experimentation in manufacturing and braiding these unique pieces are finally in small series in Romans Shop!
So you resort to, because each piece is unique and a willow-pasture for the eye!

Atropine is a naturally occurring tropane alkaloid extracted from deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), Jimson weed (Datura stramonium), mandrake (Mandragora officinarum) and other plants of the family Solanaceae. It is a secondary metabolite of these plants and serves as a drug with a wide variety of effects.
In general, atropine counters the "rest and digest" activity of glands regulated by the parasympathetic nervous system. This occurs because atropine is a competitive antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (acetylcholine being the main neurotransmitter used by the parasympathetic nervous system). Atropine dilates the pupils, increases heart rate, and reduces salivation and other secretions.
Atropine is a core medicine in the World Health Organization's "Essential Drugs List", which is a list of minimum medical needs for a basic health care system.[1]
The species name "belladonna" ("beautiful woman" in Italian) comes from the original use of deadly nightshade to dilate the pupils of the eyes for cosmetic effect. Both atropine and the genus name for deadly nightshade derive from Atropos, one of the three Fates who, according to Greek mythology, chose how a person was to die.
Medical uses[edit]
It is a competitive antagonist for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor types M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5.[2] It is classified as an anticholinergic drug (parasympatholytic).
Working as a nonselective muscarinic acetylcholinergic antagonist, atropine increases firing of the sinoatrial node (SA) and conduction through the atrioventricular node (AV) of the heart, opposes the actions of the vagus nerve, blocks acetylcholine receptor sites, and decreases bronchial secretions.
Ophthalmic use[edit]
Topical atropine is used as a cycloplegic, to temporarily paralyze the accommodation reflex, and as a mydriatic, to dilate the pupils. Atropine degrades slowly, typically wearing off in 7 to 14 days, so it is generally used as a therapeutic mydriatic, whereas tropicamide (a shorter-acting cholinergic antagonist) or phenylephrine (an α-adrenergic agonist) is preferred as an aid to ophthalmic examination. Atropine induces mydriasis by blocking contraction of the circular pupillary sphincter muscle, which is normally stimulated by acetylcholine release, thereby allowing the radial pupillary dilator muscle to contract and dilate the pupil. Atropine induces cycloplegia by paralyzing the ciliary muscles, whose action inhibits accommodation to allow accurate refraction in children, helps to relieve pain associated with iridocyclitis, and treats ciliary block (malignant) glaucoma. Atropine is contraindicated in patients pre-disposed to narrow angle glaucoma.
Atropine can be given to patients who have direct globe trauma.
Injections of atropine are used in the treatment of bradycardia (an extremely low heart rate). Atropine blocks the action of the vagus nerve, a part of the parasympathetic system of the heart whose main action is to decrease heart rate. Therefore, its primary function in this circumstance is to increase the heart rate. Atropine was previously included in international resuscitation guidelines for use in cardiac arrest associated with asystole and PEA, but was removed from these guidelines in 2010 due to a lack of evidence.[3] For symptomatic bradycardia, the usual dosage is 0.5 to 1 mg IV push, may repeat every 3 to 5 minutes up to a total dose of 3 mg (maximum 0.04 mg/kg).[4]
Atropine is also useful in treating second-degree heart block Mobitz Type 1 (Wenckebach block), and also third-degree heart block with a high Purkinje or AV-nodal escape rhythm. It is usually not effective in second-degree heart block Mobitz type 2, and in third-degree heart block with a low Purkinje or ventricular escape rhythm.
One of the main actions of the parasympathetic nervous system is to stimulate the M2 muscarinic receptor in the heart, but atropine inhibits this action.
Secretions and bronchoconstriction[edit]
Atropine's actions on the parasympathetic nervous system inhibit salivary and mucus glands. The drug may also inhibit sweating via the sympathetic nervous system. This can be useful in treating hyperhidrosis, and can prevent the death rattle of dying patients. Even though atropine has not been officially indicated for either of these purposes by the FDA, it has been used by physicians for these purposes.[5]
Treatment for organophosphate poisoning[edit]
Atropine is not an actual antidote for organophosphate poisoning. However, by blocking the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors, atropine also serves as a treatment for poisoning by organophosphate insecticides and nerve gases, such as tabun (GA), sarin (GB), soman (GD) and VX. Troops who are likely to be attacked with chemical weapons often carry autoinjectors with atropine and obidoxime, for rapid injection into the muscles of the thigh. Atropine is often used in conjunction with pralidoxime chloride.
Atropine is given as a treatment for SLUDGE syndrome (salivation, lacrimation, urination, diaphoresis, gastrointestinal motility, emesis) symptoms caused by organophosphate poisoning. Another mnemonic is DUMBBELSS, which stands for diarrhea, urination, miosis, bradycardia, bronchoconstriction, excitation (as of muscle in the form of fasciculations and CNS), lacrimation, salivation, and sweating (only sympathetic innervation using Musc receptors).
Some of the nerve agents attack and destroy acetylcholinesterase by phosphorylation, so the action of acetylcholine becomes prolonged. Pralidoxime (2-PAM) is the cure for organophosphate poisoning because it can cleave this phosphorylation. Atropine can be used to reduce the effect of the poisoning by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which would otherwise be overstimulated by excessive acetylcholine accumulation.
Optical penalization[edit]
In refractive and accommodative amblyopia, when occlusion is not appropriate sometimes atropine is given to induce blur in the good eye.[6]
Side-effects and overdose[edit]
Adverse reactions to atropine include ventricular fibrillation, supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, loss of balance, dilated pupils, photophobia, dry mouth and potentially extreme confusion, dissociative hallucinations and excitation especially amongst the elderly. These latter effects are because atropine is able to cross the blood–brain barrier. Because of the hallucinogenic properties, some have used the drug recreationally, though this is potentially dangerous and often unpleasant.
In overdoses, atropine is poisonous. Atropine is sometimes added to potentially addictive drugs, particularly anti-diarrhea opioid drugs such as diphenoxylate or difenoxin, wherein the secretion-reducing effects of the atropine can also aid the anti-diarrhea effects.
Although atropine treats bradycardia (slow heart rate) in emergency settings, it can cause paradoxical heart rate slowing when given at very low doses (i.e. <0.5 mg),[7] presumably as a result of central action in the CNS.[8] One proposed mechanism for atropine's paradoxical bradycardia effect at low doses involves blockade of inhibitory presynaptic muscarinic autoreceptors, thereby blocking a system that inhibits the parasympathetic response.[9]
Atropine is incapacitating at doses of 10 to 20 mg per person. Its LD50 is estimated to be 453 mg per person (per oral) with a probit slope of 1.8.[10] The antidote to atropine is physostigmine or pilocarpine.
A common mnemonic used to describe the physiologic manifestations of atropine overdose is: "hot as a hare, blind as a bat, dry as a bone, red as a beet, and mad as a hatter".[11] These associations reflect the specific changes of warm, dry skin from decreased sweating, blurry vision, decreased sweating/lacrimation, vasodilation, and central nervous system effects on muscarinic receptors, type 4 and 5. This set of symptoms is known as anticholinergic toxidrome, and may also be caused by other drugs with anticholinergic effects, such as scopolamine, diphenhydramine, phenothiazine antipsychotics and benztropine.[12]
Chemistry and pharmacology[edit]
Atropine is a racemic mixture of d-hyoscyamine and l-hyoscyamine, with most of its physiological effects due to l-hyoscyamine. Its pharmacological effects are due to binding to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. It is an antimuscarinic agent. Significant levels are achieved in the CNS within 30 minutes to 1 hour and disappears rapidly from the blood with a half-life of 2 hours. About 60% is excreted unchanged in the urine, most of the rest appears in urine as hydrolysis and conjugation products. Effects on the iris and ciliary muscle may persist for longer than 72 hours.
The most common atropine compound used in medicine is atropine sulfate (monohydrate) (C17H23NO3)2·H2SO4·H2O, the full chemical name is 1α H, 5α H-Tropan-3-α ol (±)-tropate(ester), sulfate monohydrate.
The vagus (parasympathetic) nerves that innervate the heart release acetylcholine (ACh) as their primary neurotransmitter. ACh binds to muscarinic receptors (M2) that are found principally on cells comprising the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes. Muscarinic receptors are coupled to the Gi-protein; therefore, vagal activation decreases cAMP. Gi-protein activation also leads to the activation of KACh channels that increase potassium efflux and hyperpolarizes the cells.
Increases in vagal activities to the SA node decreases the firing rate of the pacemaker cells by decreasing the slope of the pacemaker potential (phase 4 of the action potential); this decreases heart rate (negative chronotropy). The change in phase 4 slope results from alterations in potassium and calcium currents, as well as the slow-inward sodium current that is thought to be responsible for the pacemaker current (If). By hyperpolarizing the cells, vagal activation increases the cell's threshold for firing, which contributes to the reduction in the firing rate. Similar electrophysiological effects also occur at the AV node; however, in this tissue, these changes are manifested as a reduction in impulse conduction velocity through the AV node (negative dromotropy). In the resting state, there is a large degree of vagal tone on the heart, which is responsible for low resting heart rates.
There is also some vagal innervation of the atrial muscle, and to a much lesser extent, the ventricular muscle. Vagus activation, therefore, results in modest reductions in atrial contractility (inotropy) and even smaller decreases in ventricular contractility.
Muscarinic receptor antagonists bind to muscarinic receptors thereby preventing ACh from binding to and activating the receptor. By blocking the actions of ACh, muscarinic receptor antagonists very effectively block the effects of vagal nerve activity on the heart. By doing so, they increase heart rate and conduction velocity.
Mandragora (mandrake) was described by Theophrastus in the fourth century B.C. for treatment of wounds, gout, and sleeplessness, and as a love potion. By the first century A.D. Dioscorides recognized wine of mandrake as an anaesthetic for treatment of pain or sleeplessness, to be given prior to surgery or cautery.[11] The use of Solanaceae containing tropane alkaloids for anesthesia, often in combination with opium, persisted throughout the Roman and Islamic Empires and continued in Europe until superseded by the use of ether, chloroform, and other modern anesthetics.
Atropine extracts from the Egyptian henbane were used by Cleopatra in the last century B.C. to dilate her pupils, in the hope that she would appear more alluring. In the Renaissance, women used the juice of the berries of Atropa belladonna to enlarge the pupils of their eyes, for cosmetic reasons. This practice resumed briefly in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century in Paris.
The mydriatic effects of atropine were studied among others by the German chemist Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge (1795–1867). In 1831, the German pharmacist Heinrich F. G. Mein (1799-1864)[13] succeeded in preparing atropine in pure crystalline form.[14] The substance was first synthesized by German chemist Richard Willstätter in 1901.[15]
Natural sources[edit]
Atropine is found in many members of the Solanaceae family. The most commonly found sources are Atropa belladonna, Datura inoxia, D. metel, and D. stramonium. Other sources include members of the Brugmansia and Hyoscyamus genera. The Nicotiana genus (including the tobacco plant, N. tabacum) is also found in the Solanaceae family, but these plants do not contain atropine or other tropane alkaloids.
Atropine can be synthesized by the reaction of tropine with tropic acid in the presence of hydrochloric acid.
The biosynthesis of atropine starting from L-Phenylalanine first undergoes a transamination forming phenylpyruvic acid which is then reduced to phenyl-lactic acid.[16] Coenzyme A then couples phenyl-lactic acid with tropine forming littorine, which then undergoes a radical rearrangement initiated with a P450 enzyme forming hyoscyamine aldehyde.[16] A dehydrogenase then reduces the aldehyde to a primary alcohol making (-)-hyoscamine, which upon racemization forms atropine.[16]

Plot[f, {x, xmin, xmax}]
generates a plot of f as a function of x from to .
Plot[{f1, f2, ...}, {x, xmin, xmax}]
plots several functions .
Details and OptionsDetails and Options
- Plot treats the variable x as local, effectively using Block.
- Plot has attribute HoldAll and evaluates f only after assigning specific numerical values to x.
- In some cases, it may be more efficient to use Evaluate to evaluate f symbolically before specific numerical values are assigned to x.
- No curve is drawn in any regions where f evaluates to None.
- Plot has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes:
AspectRatio 1/GoldenRatio ratio of width to height Axes True whether to draw axes ClippingStyle None what to draw where curves are clipped » ColorFunction Automatic how to determine the coloring of curves ColorFunctionScaling True whether to scale arguments to ColorFunction EvaluationMonitor None expression to evaluate at every function evaluation Exclusions Automatic points in x to exclude ExclusionsStyle None what to draw at excluded points Filling None filling to insert under each curve FillingStyle Automatic style to use for filling MaxRecursion Automatic the maximum number of recursive subdivisions allowed Mesh None how many mesh points to draw on each curve MeshFunctions {#1&} how to determine the placement of mesh points MeshShading None how to shade regions between mesh points MeshStyle Automatic the style for mesh points Method Automatic the method to use for refining curves PerformanceGoal $PerformanceGoal aspects of performance to try to optimize PlotLegends None legends for curves PlotPoints Automatic initial number of sample points PlotRange {Full,Automatic} the range of y or other values to include PlotRangeClipping True whether to clip at the plot range PlotStyle Automatic graphics directives to specify the style for each curve RegionFunction (True&) how to determine whether a point should be included WorkingPrecision MachinePrecision the precision used in internal computations - Interactive labeling can be specified for curves using Tooltip, StatusArea, or Annotation.
- Plot[Tooltip[{f1, f2, ...}], {x, xmin, xmax}] specifies that the should be displayed as tooltip labels for the corresponding curves.
- Tooltip[f, label] specifies an explicit tooltip label for a curve.
- Typical settings for PlotLegends include:
None no legend Automatic automatically determine the legend "Expressions" use , , ... as the legend labels {lbl1,lbl2,...} use , , ... as the legend labels Placed[lspec,...] specify placement for the legend - Plot initially evaluates f at a number of equally spaced sample points specified by PlotPoints. Then it uses an adaptive algorithm to choose additional sample points, subdividing a given interval at most MaxRecursion times.
- You should realize that with the finite number of sample points used, it is possible for Plot to miss features in your function. To check your results, you should try increasing the settings for PlotPoints and MaxRecursion.
- On[Plot::accbend] makes Plot print a message if it is unable to reach a certain smoothness of curve.
- With Mesh->All, Plot will explicitly draw a point at every position on each curve where each function was sampled.
- The arguments supplied to functions in MeshFunctions and RegionFunction are x, y. Functions in ColorFunction are by default supplied with scaled versions of these arguments.
- The functions are evaluated all along each curve.
- With ClippingStyle->Automatic, a line is drawn at the top or bottom of the plotting area wherever a curve goes outside the range of the plot.
- With the default settings Exclusions->Automatic and ExclusionsStyle->None, Plot breaks curves at discontinuities it detects. Exclusions->None joins across discontinuities.
- Plot normally returns Graphics[{Line[...], ...}].
- With a Filling specification given, Plot returns Graphics[{GraphicsComplex[...], ...}].

Miami New Times' Description
Blame it on Rio, or São Paulo, or the rain forests, or whatever -- the Brazilians know how to live right. And so much has already been said about this particular North Miami Brazilian eatery and its scrumptious menu of gastronomic delights. The restaurant, which is named for the cut of rump roast called a picanha, has done justice to the former home of Mark's Place, Mark Militello's nationally recognized shrine to New World cuisine. Indeed the eatery has become successful with both Brazilians and the uninitiated alike, in part due to delights such as its meaty linguincinha sausages and rich prawns sautéed in palm oil and coconut milk. And in addition to executive chef Edson Milto's traditional but still exotic feijoada (served weekends), the Picanha menu offers plenty of adventure. The same can be said of the restaurant's festive atmosphere. After dinner you can sip the best caipirinhas in town as you samba into the night accompanied by live bands (call for music details).

They're the new yellow rivers that shame China.
Choked with chemical pollution that has wiped out all fish and wildlife, these two rivers around Mingzhu, Zhejiang province, eastern China, have been poisoned by the nearby Zhengxing industrial park which dumps thousands of litres of untreated waste into the Daqubang and Baiyang rivers every day.
Unlike the real life Yellow River - called the cradle of civilization in China - the colour is not caused by natural mud and sand, but by iron ore pollution which transforms the once clear waters to a rusty, chemical sewer.
Local environmentalist Zhang Haiming said: "It looks very bad but we could save these rivers if we stopped polluting them now."
"It's worse than just the rivers themselves. Local farmers use them to water their crops so the pollution gets into the food chain and starts to poison people and animals," he added.

I am healthy. Why should I be required to have health insurance?Santa Clara University requires all undergraduate students to carry health insurance. Years of experience and demographic data have shown that students who fell ill and were unable to meet the costs of their medical needs often dropped out of the University. Requiring adequate coverage under a health insurance plan enables students to seek medical attention and treatment promptly, and complete their academic goals. I have my own insurance and do not want the school's insurance.In order to make sure that you are not automatically enrolled into the school sponsored Aetna PPO insurance plan, you must complete the on-line waiver form with your own insurance information. This is required EVERY ACADEMIC YEAR. To access the waiver form, go to Information By Student Type and you will find the link under your student type. The deadline to complete this year's waiver is August 21, 2013. What are the start and end dates of the school-sponsored health insurance plan and hoe much does it cost?The insurance plan begins on September 15, 2013 and terminates at midnight on September 14, 2014. The annual undergraduate insurance plan cost is $2,134.00. Does the Aetna plan cover students while they are home for breaks or studying abroad?Yes, the Aetna plan covers students while they are home or studying abroad. Students will get the best benefit if they go to an Aetna PPO provider. While studying abroad, they will have to pay out of pocket for services but can submit a claim to Aetna for reimbursement according to the plan upon their return to the U.S. Where can I find information on the plan benefits?To review the Aetna PPO insurance plan benefit details, go to Information By Student Type. Do students need to have the school-sponsored Aetna insurance plan in order to be seen at the Cowell Center?No, all undergrads are welcome to use the Cowell Center regardless of their insurance. There is no office visit fee for undergrad students. If there are any fees associated with their visit (i.e. lab work, immunization, medications) those charges will be billed to their student account for payment. We DO NOT bill insurance companies. Student may request a receipt from the receptionist at the Cowell Center so that they may file a claim form with their insurance company. Does the Aetna plan cover dental visits?The school-sponsored Aetna PPO plan is a medical plan and does not cover dental. There is, however, an optional dental plan available for students to enroll into. Students do not have to be enrolled in the Aetna medical plan to enroll into the dental plan. The dental plan for 2013/2014 will be Delta Dental. Enrollment into the plan will be available online at www.scu.edu/cowell in mid-August. The dental plan begins on September 1, 2013. Who can help me if I have more questions about the Aetna insurance plan?You may contact Patricia Sandvick, Student Health Insurance Coordinator, at (408) 554-2379 or email@example.com. |
