Clow, Angela and Jenner, Peter and Theodorou, A. and Marsden, C.D. (1979) Striatal dopamine receptors become supersensitive while rats are given trifluoperazine for six months. Nature, 278 . pp. 59-61. ISSN 0028-0836
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/278059a0
OF all the side effects of drugs used to treat psychotic illness such as schizophrenia, chronic tardive dyskinesias are the most disturbing. They appear after months or years of therapy, and persist when the offending drug is withdrawn in about half of the cases. Such tardive dyskinesias resemble in character abnormal movements produced by levodopa in patients with Parkinson's disease. They can be controlled by drugs that antagonise the cerebral actions of dopamine (DA)1. Thus, they seem to be due to overstimulation of cerebral DA receptors, although they are caused by neuroleptic drugs which, in acute experiments, antagonise cerebral dopamine receptor action2–5. This paradox has been resolved by suggesting that such drugs, by binding to and antagonising cerebral DA receptors, may eventually actually increase receptor sensitivity. Indeed, following treatment for a few weeks with phenothiazines or butyrophenones and withdrawal of the drugs, animals exhibit behavioural and biochemical supersensitivity to DA agonists which persists for some time6–13. However, tardive dyskinesias usually appear while the patient continues to take the offending drug, so we have studied the effect on striatal DA receptor activity of continuous 6-month administration to rats of a potent neuroleptic drug in common clinical use (trifluoperazine). At intervals the animals were tested for a behavioural response to the DA agonist apomorphine, and were killed for biochemical assessment of DA turnover and DA receptor activity in that part of the brain (the corpus striatum) believed to be the site responsible for production of tardive dyskinesias. We report here that the initial behavioural and biochemical evidence for striatal DA receptor blockade by trifluoperazine disappears within a few weeks of starting therapy, to be replaced by supersensitivity after 6 months of drug administration, despite continued drug intake.

WILMINGTON -- Investigators say Monday's fire at a Wilmington apartment complex could have been prevented.
Investigators say the fire started when someone threw a lit cigarette into the mulch near a building at Abbott's Run. But officials say that kind of combustible material shouldn't have been near the building in the first place.
Wilmington Fire Chief Frank Blackley wants to make sure another fire like Monday's doesn't happen again.
Chief Blackley said, "We feel like it could have been prevented. They could have used some type of non-combustible type of landscaping such as rock or stone, which would have prevented the fire from spreading to the vinyl and then up the building."
Blackley says he plans to propose a land ordinance at an upcoming city council meeting that would require apartment complexes to use non-combustible materials like gravel for landscaping -- instead of mulch, pine straw or wood chips.
For fire victim Thomas Rose the proposal comes too late. "You don't think it could happen to you, but it could pretty much happen to anyone," he said.
Rose's apartment didn't suffer too much damage but is still deemed unlivable.
"It's just pretty finding a new place to live and starting your life all over again after that," Rose said.
Rose says the most frustrating thing about the situation is that he is displaced because of someone else's negligence.
"I'm pretty pissed about that actually. Irresponsible, a cigarette -- you don't think something that tiny could cause something as big as this."
Right now it's not against the law for apartment complexes to have landscaping materials like mulch, pine straw or wood chips near buildings. Chief Blackley says non-combustible materials would cost twice as much, but would not have to be replaced as often and are safer.

Well, this was nothing like it.
There was in fact a really high quality illicit feed of Pittsburgh's CW up and running last evening, so we were able to see this affair in all of its glory, and we can tell you:
Everyone is on PCP.
Except Stevey, who only has to strangle a woman within inches of her life to attain his success nightly, and feel damn good while doing it. Unfortunately his supply of Pittsburgh hookers has probably moved on to greener pastures, so the Pens were able to pull it out towards the end, winning the game 3-1.
When the teams were actually skating, this had the air of a regular season game. When they stopped to air out their laundry it became not only ridiculously preseason, but reminiscent of bull elephant seals biting each other's throats:
This possibly happened because Jared Boll was selling shitty weed.
Why on earth was Kris Letang so angry at Jakub Voracek? The world will never know. But Jakub got his ass handed to him.
ALASKAN STORM Tim Wallace fought Dorsett. It was kinda random:
But the real majestic event of the evening occurred when for some bizarre, unknown reason, Malks and Fat Rick attacked each other:
And Rick got his ass handed to him.
Frigging unreal fight, just for the fact that it happened.
Of course, some Pens scored:
And everything was generally a-okay.
The subservient bull elephant seals retreated into the surf and all was right with the world.
We have 150 Hair League entries btw. Exactly. We can accept 50 more before we have to shut the club down and put out the fire. Who's in?
Bet everyone's feeling a lot more confident about picking Ktang now, huh?
Well, it's preseason. Don't get cocky.
Final notes:
– Simon Despres is already awesome, if he does another year in junior he's going to be a hot commodity. Develop, baby, develop.
– Ratchuk is a stupid name.
– Can we please continue to play Gary Glitter after goals? We need to keep some vestige of 90's Pittsburgh skeeze in the building. Just insulting. Damon Albarn is for wins and wins only.
– The alternative three stars were eaten by this seal:

hmm I'm on the opposite camp with that... I personally love Garna's style. It feels fresh, and new.
And the mixture feels just right with me
Garsna wrote:I know my style is still a work in progress. (But honestly I love it, I don't see many pictures that look like mine) And I don't see the mix of realism and anime/manga style as a problem. In essence isn't that what all cartooning is, a mix of goofy and the ideas of traditional figure drawing (I actually notice it a lot in anime/manga). Because even in cartoons we notice if proportions are off when they aren't meant to be.

Listen to Garbage's Brawny New Alt-Rocker 'Battle in Me'
Garbage are sticking to their guns. Earlier this month, the alt-rock hitmakers unveiled one song from their first album in seven years, and now the second track to emerge from May 15 release Not Your Kind of People confirms that Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, and the crew aren't veering far from the digitally sculpted "modern" rock that got them here. Although a bit more muscular than the previously surfaced "Blood for Poppies," lead U.K. single "Battle in Me" (via Radio 104.5) offers another batch of explosive hooks, maximal cyber-distortion, and powerhouse drums straight out the group's '90s heyday. "I'll be damned if I'm done," Manson booms. Message received.

Government to offer rebates for energy efficient appliances.
POSTED: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - 9:43am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:35am
The government is offering $300 million dollars in rebates when you buy a new, energy efficient appliances, NBC reporter Tracie Potts has more.
The Energy Department is using stimulus money as an incentive to get people to get rid of old appliances. You could save hundreds, even thousands of dollars, if you read the fine print. The government's doing for your home is what Cash for Clunkers did for your car. Rebates have already started in 13 states and the rest will begin this spring.

Fan Blade Reflection of Sound
Name: Henry Status: other Grade: other Location: CA Country: N/A Date: 6/22/2005
I play guitar. But I have noticed that in the summer when it gets really hot, and i turn on the ceiling fan, my guitar sound is "choppy." The first thing that I thought about was the ceiling fan blades interfering with the sound waves bouncing back to my ears. But I noticed that this only happens with the higher pitched strings. I thought that maybe it did not happen with the lower pitched strings because of their lower frequency, but it is still not making any sense to me. Why do the higher pitched strings sound more "choppy" than the lower ones?
The lower-pitched sound waves have wavelengths much larger than the distance between the fan blades and the ceiling. The total path length from guitar to fan blade to ear is shorter than the path from guitar to ceiling to ear. For low-frequency sound, the path difference is small compared to the wavelength, so the phases of the two waves are not very different, and their interference does not produce a noticeable change.
For certain frequencies of sound, the path difference will be exactly equal to some number of wavelengths, and these frequencies should not sound choppy either. For example, the fifth fret of your high E string produces sound at a frequency of 440 Hz (wavelength 330/440 = .75 m, where '330' is the speed of sound in m/s). If the distance between the fan blades and the ceiling happens to be half of this wavelength, or roughly one foot, then this frequency should not sound as choppy as other nearby notes. So if you were stuck on a desert island with only a guitar, a ceiling, and a fan, and you wanted to know the distance between the fan blades and the ceiling, you could measure it by noticing which notes sound choppy.
Tim Mooney
Good observation, Henry. This makes sense to me.
To high-frequency sound waves, smaller than the width of the fan blade, it looks like a flat obstruction, and efficiently reflects them back at you.
To low frequency sound-waves, longer than the width of the fan blade, it looks like a stir stick in a slow stream. The sound pressure wave mostly flows around it and keeps on going.
The speed of sound in air is about 340meters/sec.
Presuming your fan-blade is 4 inches wide (10cm, 0.1 meter), the transition frequency will be (340 meter/sec) / (0.1 meter) = 3400 cycles/second
So indeed, only the highest overtones of your strings will reflect back to your ears when a blade passes by.
This kind of distinction happens in radio waves and water-waves, too.
Jim Swenson
Dear Henry,
You have impressive powers of observation!
For a wave to be affected in a major way by an obstruction, the wavelength of the wave must be comparable to or smaller than the size of the obstruction. For example, a large ocean wave would barely notice a narrow post or a buoy in its path. However, a breakwater whose size is comparable or larger than the wavelength of the wave can modify the wave drastically, absorbing or reflecting it.
The fan blades, I assume, are about 1/2 foot in size. A middle C has a frequency of about 261.1 Hz. So (using wavelength = speed of wave/frequency and speed of sound in air of 1100 ft/s) middle C produces a wave with a wavelength of about 4.2 feet. I would expect it to be not much bothered by the fan. If you go up two octaves, however, the frequency is quadrupled (it doubles every octave) and the wavelength is a little over 1 ft. I would think it would begin to notice the fan blades. Another octave or two and it will certainly be strongly affected by the fan blades.
This is a common phenomena. For example, radar used to detect rainfall must use electromagnetic waves with wavelengths comparable to the size of rain droplets in order to be reflected by the rain drops.
Best, Dick Plano, Professor of Physics emeritus, Rutgers University
Part of that could be due to the proximity of the fan blades to the ceiling. at 60 hz, one full length of a sound wave is about 18 feet long. at 400 hz, about 2 feet long, and at 2 Khz, a little more than 6 inches long. For the longer wavelengths, the sound reflecting off of fan blades is not significantly out of phase with those from the ceiling. The shorter wavelengths however, have time to get up to 180 degrees out of phase.

When considering the many records that are kept of meetings, negotiations, contracts and legal proceedings one cannot help but to awed. Millions of pages of accurate recordings of proceedings of various natures are generated each year. Court reporters, so named even if they do not only work in courts, are kept busy and they are specially trained to produce accurate renditions of proceedings. For a rewarding career as a stenographer Meridian MS is a good place to settle.
The majority of professional court reporters prefer to use a stenotype machine to perform their work. This machine is a type of short hand device. The operator is skilled in recording every detail of the proceedings by pressing various combinations of keys. They are able to record the identity of speakers, body language and even incidental noises such as laughter or coughing.
Electronic reporting is another commonly used technique. In this case the court reporter uses audio equipment to record the proceedings. The reporter focuses on making notes about body language, the identity of the various vocal participants and even the context of background noises. It takes much longer to produce a transcript, however, and the technique has therefore not gained significant popularity.
Technological advances have seen to the birth of voice writing. Court reporters that favor this technique speak into a special mask equipped with a microphone. They repeat everything that is said during the proceedings, including gestures and audible noises such as laughter and other relevant audio comments. Special computer software is used to turn the sound file into a written transcription.
Court reporters are not restricted to producing transcriptions of court proceedings. In fact, their services are sought by governments at all levels during talks and negotiations, by businesspeople eager to make sure that an accurate record is kept and by lawyers taking down depositions. They are often able to charge for the delivery of accurate records of important speeches and declarations.
One of the main advantages of hiring a professional court reporter is the fact that an accurate record is the best way to avoid future misunderstanding. Such records are considered to be objective and they are seldom challenged legally. Court reporters often charge a hefty fee but this fee is worth every penny if it is able to provide an indisputable record of the discussions or proceedings.
Success in this profession requires a high degree of dedication and discipline, as well as an aptitude for languages and the ability to pay attention to detail. Most business schools offer formal and accredited courses. In order to qualify students have to pass stringent theoretical and practical examinations. However, this career can be very rewarding. Most court reporters operate independently and earn an above average income.
When in need of accurate records made by a stenographer Meridian MS residents, courts, businesses and government officials are lucky to have access to many professionals. Without their services disputes and conflict may result. Modern society demands that detailed written records are kept and these professionals see to it that this need is fulfilled independently and objectively.

Dutch Schultz was a New York City based gangster who went into hiding between January 1933 and November 1934. Much of his business at that time was in rum-running. Legend has it that Dutch stayed at Idle Hour during some of those 22 months he was in hiding and used Idle Hour's tunnels for his anti-prohibition and liquor distribution activities. (Prohibition ended in December 1933.)

The most important thing to have is a different mindset. You will no longer be working from 9 to 5 and be able to leave work at the office. Working from home means that you will have to motivate yourself and sometimes the hours will be very long. You will not be able to take sick days. As a home based entrepreneur if you do not work you will not eat.
Also one of the first things you will need to learn is how to market. Marketing is the key to making your home business a success. If you do not know anything about marketing you can find all the information you need on the internet. You will learn how to find more people to tell about your product.
Most of the home based business that are already in place will charge a start up fee. So make sure that it is the one you will want to keep working on even on days when you do not feel like it, or else it will be a waste of your money.
No matter what business you decide to try the company will have instructions on getting started. Be sure to read the instruction very thoroughly, if they have videos watch them. You want to know all about getting started and working your business. These instructions and videos have been put together by people who have already been working the business. The more you know and understand the better the chance is of making your business a success.
