Helping Every American Reach His or Her Highest Potential
Senator Sessions, himself a former schoolteacher, is devoted to finding ways to improve our nation's education system.
During his time in the Senate, Sessions has worked hard to improve adolescent literacy rates among America's schoolchildren. Unfortunately, 70% of American middle and high school students read below grade level. Improving their reading skills is essential to better prepare our students for higher grades today and the jobs and technologies of tomorrow.
Sessions is a leading advocate of the Alabama Reading Initiative, Alabama's successful K-3 reading program. Sessions recently introduced the Striving Readers Act (S. 958), a groundbreaking bill that would provide additional resources to schools nationwide for adolescent literacy. This legislation aims to train teachers and equip states with the right tools to help older students read at grade level.
Sessions remains committed to promoting policies that ensure quality educational opportunities for America's students.

Really comfy beds and a cool building, lack of lockers sucks a bit as I had to bring valuables with me all the time. Showers were erratic as were toilets, could be fixed by telling patrons what's going on, felt left In the dark.

AMD Lands Open-Source "Hawaii" GPU Driver Code
Published on 10 November 2013 02:27 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
Linux 3.13 kernel
that is just entering mainline development stages already has
Radeon DPM and HDMI audio by default
. However, now there's another Radeon DRM-Next pull and it provides support for the brand new AMD R9 290 "Hawaii" GPUs!
Another Git branch merge happened this morning of Radeon DRM driver code into
. The prominent work now pushed into drm-next for merging into the mainline Linux kernel tree in the days ahead is Hawaii GPU support!
AMD's Alex Deucher wrote, "A few more patches for 3.13. The big one here is Hawaii support. I wanted to get that out sooner, but was sick earlier this week. That said, it's mostly self contained, so it shouldn't impact other asics. The rest are just bug fixes and a merge fix."
The PCI IDs that have been added as the initially supported AMD Hawaii graphics cards include 0x67A0, 0x67A1, 0x67A2, 0x67A8, 0x67A9, 0x67AA, 0x67B0, 0x67B1, 0x67B8, 0x67B9, 0x67BA, and 0x67BE. This Hawaii GPU support is for the new, original graphics processors (R9 290 and R9 290X) of the Rx 200 series family and not the GPUs that were simply re-badged from the Radeon HD 7000 series.
The Hawaii DRM driver code is based upon the Radeon HD 8000 "Sea Islands" (CIK) driver support. Among other changes made include support for Hawaii's new tiling configuration, new
golden register
settings that are the optimal settings for certain registers as said by AMD's hardware team, Hawaii UVD video decoding support, Hawaii DPM power management support, and the mode-setting paths are the same as AMD's Bonaire.
The AMD Hawaii GPU support will also require updated firmware/microcode files, but at the time of writing they don't appear pushed yet to Alex's radeon_ucode directory. I also haven't seen any AMD Hawaii Mesa code appear yet this weekend. A small update will also be needed to the xf86-video-ati X.Org DDX, but that should be rather trivial.
The Mesa/Gallium3D support for Hawaii GPUs should build upon the
Gallium3D driver that supports from the Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs and newer. The driver has been improving a lot but
Catalyst is still much faster than RadeonSI
and there's OpenGL 4.3 support compared to OpenGL 3.x in the latest Mesa release.
Nice job to AMD's open-source developers on being quick in pushing out the new code. If you're a end-user not interested in building new driver components, however, you will be stuck waiting until Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and other H1'2014 Linux distribution updates to appear unless finding third-party packages or using a rolling-release platform. If you want AMD Hawaii Linux GPU support today, you will be best off using the latest proprietary Catalyst (13.11 series) graphics driver that supports this new hardware.
The AMD Hawaii hardware enablement by the open-source driver will just be another change of
many exciting features of Linux 3.13

In a project on which I am performing maintenance, I am referencing a database stored on another server. This reference was previously pointing at a database on the same server, but my testbed server isn't large enough to store both databases, so I'm having to refer back to the live database.
Anyway, whoever created this application made use of SQL Views, and I have found that when trying to edit the view, that it cannot reference an external database.
The existing reference is to myDatabase.dbo.tableName
. When I try to change that to [MyServer.com].myDatabase.dbo.tableName
moving away from the editor removes all of the square brackets, leaving me with MyServer.com.myDatabase.dbo.tableName
which is not a proper table reference.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Akron Zips (1-2)
@Drake Bulldogs (1-3)
Saturday, November 21
Ocean Center, Daytona Beach, FL
Attendance: 321
Daytona Beach, FL (Sports Network) - Anthony Hitchens scored a game-high 17 points to lead the Akron Zips to a 63-59 win over the Drake Bulldogs in third round action of the Glenn Wilkes Classic at the Ocean Center.
Akron (1-2) also received 12 points from Brett McClanahan in the win.
Drake (1-3) was paced by Ryan Wedel, who scored 14 points in a losing effort.
The Bulldogs stormed out of the locker room, shooting 13-of-24 from the floor, in the first half, to take a 33-27 lead at the break.
Akron clawed its way back in the second stanza, knocking down 7-of-13 three- point attempts, en route to a four-point victory.
The Zips were tenacious at the defensive end of the floor, limiting Drake to just 41.7 percent shooting, while forcing 11 turnover in the win.

Two UIC students awarded State Dept. scholarships
April 7, 2014
Two University of Illinois at Chicago students will spend this summer in India and Oman, respectively, while engaged in intensive foreign language studies supported by the U.S. State Department's Critical Languages Scholarship.
The competitive award will place Neharika Akkoor, of Aurora, Ill., and Bridget Hansen, of McHenry, Ill., in a fully funded 10-week language program with cultural enrichment experiences.
The scholarships are part of the National Security Language Initiative, a U.S. government interagency effort to increase the number of Americans mastering critical-need languages. Recipients are expected to continue their language study beyond the scholarship and apply their language skills in their professional careers.
Akkoor, a junior in the UIC Honors College majoring in philosophy, will study beginning Hindi at the American Institute of Indian Studies in Jaipur, India.
She believes Hindi will be useful when interacting with Indian patients during her medical career and in future volunteer work in India.
"It will be easier communicating with them, especially the elderly, who feel more comfortable communicating in their native language," said Akkoor, who is fluent in three languages.
Akkoor plans to pursue international grants that would provide study abroad opportunities after she earns her bachelor's degree in May 2015. Under UIC's Guaranteed Professional Program Admissions in medicine, she will later return to UIC for medical school.
Akkoor has participated in Alternative Spring Break, a student-led service program that sends UIC students to volunteer sites across the country during winter and spring breaks. She says becoming a physician suits her personal and professional interests.
"It's a combination of science and service," she said. "I don't think any other career really combines the two of those as much as medicine does."
Akkoor is a 2011 graduate of Oswego East High School.
Hansen, a UIC Honors College junior majoring in anthropology and history, will study advanced beginning Arabic in Nizwa, Oman, through a program administered by AMIDEAST, an American nonprofit educational training and development organization.
Hansen enjoys exploring challenging languages and unfamiliar subjects. Since transferring to UIC in spring 2013, she has studied Arabic and the art and archaeology of the ancient Near East, in addition to conducting a domestic research project about a Hittite archaeological site in north central Turkey.
"All anthropologists are originally fascinated by the concept of the 'other' — people and cultures who are drastically different — but are ultimately driven by a deep sense of love and an innate need for knowledge and understanding," she said. "I believe that anthropology is the best way in which we can understand others, and the Arab world in particular is very misunderstood in American society."
Before pursuing graduate studies and a career in anthropology, Hansen plans to seek post-graduate opportunities with the Peace Corps and Fulbright scholar program.
"Our consumer and entrepreneurial culture stresses individualism and competition, but I've always felt it was important to be connected to people," Hansen said. "Without deep connection and love, we will not survive as a species, and this starts by helping others and being compassionate."
Hansen, a 2007 McHenry East High School graduate, was recently awarded an Honors College tuition waiver and the department of anthropology's Nasrin Mahani Scholarship. She is also a University Student Ambassador.
UIC ranks among the nation's leading research universities and is Chicago's largest university with 27,500 students, 12,000 faculty and staff, 15 colleges and the state's major public medical center. A hallmark of the campus is the Great Cities Commitment, through which UIC faculty, students and staff engage with community, corporate, foundation and government partners to improve the quality of life in metropolitan areas around the world.

Now 36, Sorenstam remains self-motivated
A birthday celebration is as good a time as any for reflection, and for Annika Sorenstam, you can bet there are forces pulling her in every direction. Enjoy the spoils of success? Strive for more history? Try to mix them both?
Sorenstam turned 36 on Monday and defends her title this week at the Samsung World Championship. How she proceeds from here is good fodder. Sorenstam checks off things from her "to-do" list in golf as if they were chores around the house. And she has accomplished them at such an awe-inspiring rate, nobody would blame her for plopping down in the living room to relax and unwind.
For five straight years, she has led the LPGA Tour money list and won Player of the Year honors. She's run her victory total to 69, her major championship haul to 10. Finding motivation after such success might have been her greatest accomplishment. So, how does she keep going?
"I have to admit, it's been tough for the last two or three years," Sorenstam said during a recent conference call. "I mean, I have achieved so much more than I ever thought I could, and every year I set up new goals and I push myself, what do I want to achieve and so forth.
"What is really driving me is the love for the game, obviously, but the belief that I can be better. I can become a better golfer. That is what keeps me going."
Sorenstam has something else to keep her going this year -- competition.
For the first time since Karrie Webb won the LPGA money title in 2000, Sorenstam is not a lock to capture the top spot so late in the season. With six tournaments to go, she is third on the money list behind Lorena Ochoa and Webb, with Cristie Kerr close behind.
It should make for an interesting end to the season, which will conclude at next month's ADT Championship in West Palm Beach, Fla. There, for the first time, the season-ending tournament will have a new format that greatly will skew the money list.
There are 32 players who will qualify in various ways, with a cut after 36 holes to the top 16. From there, only the top eight qualify for the final day, when they all start over with an 18-hole shootout for $1 million. The runner-up will receive just $100,000, so a lot can happen.
Sorenstam has not been on board with the new format -- she is the defending champion of the event -- but is curious to see how it will play out.
"It is a lot of money to add to the money list in one week," said Sorenstam, who has earned $1,769,408 this year and trails Ochoa by about $350,000 after the star from Mexico won on Sunday.
None of it would have mattered in recent years, when Sorenstam cruised to all the top honors. Starting in 2000, she has won a minimum of five events each season, including 11 wins in 2002 and 10 victories last year.
This year, she has just three victories, one of them the U.S. Women's Open in July. She has 14 top-10 finishes, including runner-up in her last two starts. Certainly a productive season, but by her standards
"I have asked myself a lot of questions," she said. "I think it just kind of puts the last few seasons in perspective. This year I have struggled a little bit with my swing, and in the past, I would just go up and I would hit a shot and I would not really think about it, I would not wonder where it was going. This year has been totally opposite.
"It has been where am I going and what am I doing. I have had some great tournaments and some not so great ones and it has been a little frustrating in that sense because I just feel like I not have played up to my normal standard."
And not being one to remain satisfied, Sorenstam decided to go back to basics. In August, she approached her coach, Henry Reis, and said she simply needed to work on her grip, her setup, everything.
"I cannot play with a swing that only works for 14, 15 holes," said Sorenstam. "And if you look at the stats, it is probably the worst year that I have had when it comes to greens in regulation, fairways hit you name it."
And yet, Sorenstam has those three victories this year, surpassed only by Ochoa's and Webb's four. That gives her 51 wins since the start of the 2000 season -- a number that would rank seventh all time, ahead of Hall of Famers such as Nancy Lopez and JoAnne Carner.
"The golf Annika has played over the last five or six years has been really undervalued," said Webb, who has 34 career wins. "I don't think it's been appreciated nearly as much as it should have. She set such high standards I find it hard to believe I could sustain that sort of golf over five or six years. But I don't think her golf is unappreciated by the players out here."
And nobody expects Sorenstam to back down.
Yet, what is left to achieve? She is five major victories behind the record of 10 held by Patty Berg. And she needs 13 more wins to tie Mickey Wright (82) and 19 more to catch Kathy Whitworth (88), the all-time victory leader.
"Well, I think about them, but I question [whether] that something I can do. Eighty-eight wins is just so difficult," she said. "I just wonder how much longer can I play and how much longer do I want to push myself. I have been on tour for 12 years and there are a lot of other interests, projects I want to pursue.
"So now I am just focusing on my own game, trying to get better, and hopefully that keeps me going."
Love, 42, won for the first time in three years, capturing the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro, the 19th victory of his PGA Tour. Harrington, 35, won for the first time in two years on the European Tour (he did win twice last year on the PGA Tour), capturing the Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland, the 10th victory of his European career. And both, basically, said it's about time. "It's a big relief and hopefully the start of bigger things to come," said Love, who had not won since the 2003 International, the last of four victories that season. "You don't want to go a year without winning at least once," said Harrington, who is from Ireland but is also a member of the PGA Tour. ""You know, it's 15 months since I've won. But now I can just put it down. I won in 2005. I won in 2006. It's always nice." Love leads all active PGA Tour players with 29 second-place finishes in his career. Harrington has 23 seconds in Europe and another three on the PGA Tour. Both made moves in the world ranking, with Harrington jumping to 12th and Love to 19th. |
Got a question about the PGA Tour? Ask ESPN.com golf writer Bob Harig, who will answer some inquiries in his column each week.
Q. Unless John Daly has a miraculous finish this year on the money list (he's currently 190th), will he have any playing status next year on the PGA Tour without going thru Q School?
A. Yes, but barely. As a past champion, Daly will be able to get into a handful of tournaments in which fields are not full through the 29 other exemptions that precede the Past Champion category. What he really needs to do is at least finish among the top 150, where he could accept unlimited sponsor exemptions. Outside of the top 150 -- barring a return to Q school -- Daly would be allowed to take just seven exemptions. He could get into other tournaments by finishing among the top 10. But it is not an easy way to set a schedule.
Q. I recently heard that Padraig Harrington is practicing with one shoe off in order to improve his swing. Two questions: One, how does this help? And two, would it be legal to compete that way?
A. The only possible explanation here is that perhaps it makes him more aware of his foot movement, which he might be trying to control. And there is no rule prohibiting a player from competing without a shoe.
Q. What does the term "flag high" mean?
A. Announcers often use the term "flag high" or "pin high" to describe a shot that travels the same distance onto a green or around it as where the pin is located -- as opposed to be short of the pin or beyond the pin. |

How long is the chain extension?
ATG Stores Answer
There aren't any pendants that default that way but most can be special ordered to be wired and chained for that.

Write a ReviewReview of 5022 - Legacy Small Pendant
By Gwen M. from Omaha, NE on Jan 18, 2011
We had a hard time getting the glass part in the "hoop". It appears the hoop isn't exactly straight and we were very concerned about breaking the glass. At this point the glass doesn't sit straight in the fixture. I don't think the hoop hangs straight from the top of the fixture. I like the fixture and as long as I don't look directly at it it looks OK. The fixture is very nice...just wish the glass hung straight.
The instructions weren't at all helpful but my electrician said it was a simple assembly so we had no trouble at all with that part. I did switch to 40W bulbs as the 60's were too bright.
I'd order from your company again.

Really stunning pendant that is perfectly suited for traditional/transitional decor. Glass is very fragile so take care when installing. Brushed nickel was just what I was looking for. Simply classic and timeless.

@Earthquake Uhm, what does Obama's liberal agenda have to do with G-dang earthquake? I hope the question served more as a tasteless joke than a rational and somewhat intelligent thought. But hey, if you want to redeem yourself and sound somewhat smart, why don't you explain exactly how the earthquake was caused by Obama. Don't beat yourself up too much for it. We'll understand if you can't Have a nice day. :-) »

Having tea at the Berber house was awesome :)
August 2014
There were 4 of us two adults and two teenage children. We all had a great day out, a long day but well worth it.
The trip goes at quite a pace but this is needed to cover everything in the day,So it is good to be in one of the lead cars as if your at the back you seem to play catch on things. The views were amazing and the heights you clime are something else, as well as the drops from the side of the road. The food was good at lunch, but i would take some water with you as its very hot and dusty.
great trip, well worth the money.

What Would Make Today's Apple Announcements a Buy or a Sell
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL - Get Report) CEO Tim Cook is under immense pressure coming into Monday's WorldWide Developer Conference to announce new products that create new revenue streams.
While analysts give him high marks for returning money to shareholders -- the shares are up about 40% in the last year, they carry a 2% yield, and they will debut at about $90 after they split over the next week -- he has mainly solidified the company's lead in phones and tablets.
Under Cook, Apple has yet to stake out a new product category beachhead.
There are plenty of rumors.
They start with iBeacon, a low-power wireless technology akin to Bluetooth that can push lots of data to devices at low power, allowing for in-store messaging, payments and advertising. GE (GE) has already integrated this sort of technology into its LED lighting systems and said it will function with iOS devices. Apple is also expected to enter the Internet of Things with HealthBook, a health app, and home automation apps for controlling lights, heat and security systems. Updates are widely anticipated to both iOS, which powers Apple's devices, and OS X, which powers the Apple Macintosh computer. OS X 10.10 is expected to look like iOS 8, and will ship under the name "Yosemite." iOS expected to get some OS X features, such as notifications that alert you to appointments when the calendar isn't open. OS X is not expected to get multitasking, a feature of Microsoft MSFT Windows. If it does, that's a win. Siri, the company's speech technology, may get a software development kit so it can be integrated into other applications. Expect integration to be a major theme, with Cook emphasizing how developers can tie apps together with its full range of products. This is what traders or gamblers would call the "over-under line" for today's announcements. If Tim Cook launches all this software and all these services, he will have performed according to expectations. If less is announced, he will have performed below expectations, and the stock could take a hit. But what if he announces more? What if he announces new hardware? No new iPads, iPhones or iMacs are expected at this week's event. Anything like that would be an upside surprise.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The good old days of science
Guest Post: Gender Sensitivity in Neuroscience is a Work in Progress
This is a guest post from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.
This week, the Society for Neuroscience opened its website allowing attendees to book their hotels for their annual meeting. The timing was couldn't have been worse for the Vanderbilt neuroscience community given that on Monday, a former graduate student of the program leveled a disturbing series of accusations against neuroscientist Aurelio Galli. At least 10 of the 60+ alleged events of harassment occurred at SfN meetings. The year before the defendant claims she was subject to harassment, The Society for Neuroscience named Vanderbilt their 'Neuroscience Training Program of the Year'.
In a 20 million dollar harassment suit filled in Nashville, sordid details were laid out of alcohol fueled harassment both in the lab and at the Society for Neuroscience's annual meetings in 2012 and 2013. The student, a recovering alcoholic, alleges she was subjected to unwelcome and embarrassing commentary from Galli about her perceived lesbianism, her sex life and her looks both in lab as well as in front of male professors.
Vanderbilt fired back saying they had investigated the claims and would vigorously defend themselves. The medical center director and the chancellor were named as defendants, as were Mark Wallace, the head of the Vanderbilt Brain Institute and National Academy member and Chair of the Department of Molecular Biology and Physiology, Roger Cone. Wallace and Cone were included for their failure to act on the student's claims and protect her career.
For those outside the field, the neuroscience community seems to be holding down opposite poles in gender and racial equality. The leadership of both the Journal of Neuroscience and the Society are enviably gender balanced in the last decade. SfN was one of the first national societies to initiate meaningful career-long mentorship for women and minorities. Thanks in part to this commitment, women constitute 50% of most neuroscience graduate training programs. The national attrition of women from academic science is also evident in Vanderbilt's neuroscience program which has an all male leadership and > 30% of its training faculty as women. The vast majority of these female faculty members are assistant professors.
Sending a female graduate student from a heavily male influenced neuroscience graduate program to SfN would present many sources of potential conflict. The first SfN meeting the student claims she was harassed at was in New Orleans, a city proud of its tradition of asking women to show their breasts for beads.
The female graduate student alleges that at SfN, her PI required her to attend a cocktail party on a boat where senior male scientists "became intoxicated and were allowed to make romantic and sexual advances on the students". <I'll insert my editorial opinion that news does not surprise me especially in light of the report this week from Kate Clancy that the majority of women in her survey of field scientists say they have been harassed with more than 20% reporting that they have been assaulted.>
Why would anyone attend boat party or any other kind of party where alcohol is flowing freely and fun is a much more clear objective than science? For many trainees, this is often the only chance they have to spend time talking to well-published PIs. Presumably, at a party like this, senior investigators would be amenable to laid back conversations with trainees providing a rare chance to judge the character of potential future mentors.
These parties are the products of the bygone era of much larger gatherings held a decade or more ago by men who were SfN officers and investigators. Hosts had ample institutional 'slush' funds and open bar was the norm. The fabled parties hosted by former Emory Psychiatry chairman Charlie Nemeroff were more or less the height of partying for many members.
While at Emory, Nemeroff managed to get millions in personal wealth by consulting for drug companies while also studying those drugs using funding for his lab from NIMH. This income presumably enabled him to host these lavish events. Nemeroff's parties would often devolve into factions that went skinny-dipping, participated in drinking contests and unwelcome ass grabbing, and yes, accomplished some important networking.
From the Venderbuilt lawsuit, "networking" was the reported benefit Galli touted as a reason for the trainee to attend the boat party. Indeed, Galli trained at Emory from 1993-1995 while Nemeroff was there, so these kinds of parties probably did help him advance his career. The expectation that a female recovering alcoholic would likewise benefit underscores a clear cultural clash that needs to be addressed by both the Vanderbilt community and the Society for Neuroscience.
Cool result! Yay!
Control verification fails inexplicably. Ugh. How can this be?
Running obvious other control....works. So first control was valid, meaning the negative result was also valid.
Scrutinizes data......AHA!
Actually explains the design flaw in our first control! YAY!
New experiment planned.
Will a dual sigma receptor antagonist / dopamine transporter inhibitor treat stimulant abuse?
This post covers a platform presentation in symposium 222. Molecular Basis of Addiction: Neurocognitive Deficits and Memory (Mon, Apr 28, 9:55 AM - 12:10 PM) at the 2014 Experimental Biology meeting.
803.3/D382 - Preclinical efficacy of the dual sigma receptor antagonist dopamine uptake inhibitor, CM699, as a medication for stimulant abuse
Johnathan Katz of the NIDA Intramural Research program presented an overview of the data and findings that led up to the creation of a new molecule (CM699) that functions a both a dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor and a sigma receptor antagonist. As a bit of background, NIDA has spent a tremendous amount of effort trying to use dopamine transporter inhibitors as agonist therapy for stimulant abuse. The theory of agonist therapy is familiar from the nicotine patch and methadone. The outline is that if you have a drug which mimics the abused drug in effect but has different time-course of effect, you may be able to blunt the acute high of the preferred drug and/or method of use. The nicotine patch supplies the identical drug but in a more sustained, slower and less-peaky manner. Methadone is relatively long acting at endogenous opioid receptors, apparently providing relief without the acute euphoric high. A similar strategy has governed attempts to identify compounds which would confer protection against stimulant abuse.
Since the acute reinforcing effect of stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine is mediated through the DAT, this was the target of considerable NIDA effort over decades. It has not been a successful effort.
First off, Katz pointed out that calling sigma a "receptor" is bit of a misnomer as it functions as an intracelluar chaperone protein. This molecule hangs out in association with the endoplasmic reticulum but under ligand activation can migrate to modulate the function of membrane bound proteins. One of those is apparently the dopamine transporter.
Another background consideration for the presentation is that cocaine, as Katz noted, blocks the DAT but also has some sigma affinity. The significance of this agonist activity was not made entirely clear in the talk and we should keep in mind that any antagonism of the sigma receptor will also likely remove the sigma-mediated effects of cocaine. This part was not well explicated in the talk.
At any rate, sigma antagonist compounds block the effects of cocaine. Katz described data indicating that the acute locomotor stimulant effect of cocaine can be prevented and that sigma antagonists can attenuate lethality from an otherwise toxic dose of cocaine.
An initial study from Remi Martin-Fardon, however, found that one sigma antagonist (BD1047) did not reduce cocaine self-administration. Katz then tested several additional sigma antagonists to rigorously determine that no, sigma antagonist compounds by themselves did not reduce cocaine self-administration, even cross a wide range of cocaine doses.
Katz next presented data to remind us that the DAT inhibitor methylphenidate (aka Ritalin) not only fails to reduce cocaine self-administration but that it can increase the self-administration of lower per-infusion doses of cocaine.
However, the combination of methylphenidate with any of several sigma antagonists produced an "insurmountable antagonism" of cocaine self-administration. Meaning that across a wide range of per-infusion doses of cocaine, the rats now failed to self-administer. Importantly, these combinations had no effect on food maintained operant responding, no effect on self administration of opioids or direct dopamine D1 or D2 like receptor agonists but did work to suppress methamphetamine self-administration. This indicates the effect is specific to DAT mediated reinforcing effects.
This all led up to the creation of a compound (CM699) that had the ability to both antagonize sigma receptors and to inhibit the DAT. It was found to blunt the dopamine response to acute cocaine, as measured with intracerebral microdialysis. Furthermore, this single compound produced the "insurmountable antagonism" of cocaine self-administration that had been found for the two-drug combinations.
The talk ended with a proposal that the mechanism of action is that sigma antagonism depletes cholesterol from the membrane which promotes an inward-facing conformation of the DAT.
Obviously, Katz is optimistic that this combined-action CM699 compound proves the concept for a stimulant abuse treatment medication. The half-life of this particular compound was only about 4 and a half hours, thus their immediate goal is to get a longer acting compound which both antagonizes sigma and blocks the dopamine transporter. Nevertheless, the chance that it can completely remove the rewarding properties of cocaine supports the idea that combined activity at DAT and sigma is the route to effective agonist therapy for stimulant abuse.
Full disclosure to the higher education consumer
An article in Slate makes the case, a bit excitedly, that popular college/University ranking entities should present the ratio of permanent to temporary faculty more prominently. I agree wholeheartedly that this is information the consumer needs to know. The relative adjunctification is highly pertinent to the quality of education on offer.
The simple ratio of teaching bodies is not enough, though it is probably the only thing Deans and Presidents are willing to report.
Ideally the percentage of student contact hours, including labs and sections, would be reported by tenure track status of the instructor.
Maybe the problem in NIH grant award is in topic diversity?
I had a thought occur to me over the past few days. It's been growing along at the back of my mind and is only partially crystallized.
What if PIs of a given class of interest, whether that be sex, ethnicity, nation of origin or whatever, are not randomly distributed across the various topic domains supported by the NIH? What if a PI of characteristic X tends to work on Topic B using Model M whereas a PI of characteristic Y tends to work on Topic A using Model H?
What if the funding rates for Topic X differed from those for Topic Y? Or if applications using Model M consistently succeeded differently compared with applications using Model H?
I didn't see any covariates for topic domain or even the funding IC in the Ginther report.
Surely someone at NIH is thinking about this. Surely?
I have two anecdotes for your consideration.
First, as with many areas of science, the ones dear to me suffer from a sex bias. There is a huge tendency to do the animal studies in male animals. Any study using female animals is very frequently a sex comparison study and is proposed explicitly or implicitly as a comparison with the default, i.e. male. I've talked about this before. The NIH also takes pains to fix the generalized reluctance via their most functional technique, the call for applications for a dedicated pool of money. In theory, the awarding of grants on sex-differences or on issues specific to women's health will then spur additional work. Perhaps create a sustained program or even a career of work on this topic.
My anecdote is that I've noticed over the years (possible confimation bias here) that women in my field have a greater representation than men in these sorts of studies. Sex-differences models and womans' health issues in my fields of interest seem to have women as the driving investigators more often than their overall representation.
If this generalizes, then we will want to know if the competitive success of such grant applications because of topic is contaminating our estimation of women PI's success.
The second anecdote is older and comes from my long history participating on the "Diversity" committees of various academic institutions. Back in the dark ages I recall an incident where a Prof in the experimental sciences had to go to war with a Dean who was in charge of undergraduate summer research funds for underrepresented individuals. The Prof had a candidate who wanted to work in the experimental science, but the awards were generally being made to kids who wanted to work on academic topics related to underrepresented groups. The Dean thought this was the most important thing to do. In this case the prof won his battle in the second year of trying, over the objections of the Dean. I keep in touch with some of my undergraduate professors and I can say that said undergrad went on to become a NIH funded investigator (who still fails to work on issues directly related to underrepresentation). I have no idea if any of the other underrepresented summer research students went on to glorious academic careers in their respective disciplines, perhaps they did. But this is not the point. The point is that perhaps I am a little too glib about the pipeline implications of Ginther. Perhaps the grooming of underrepresented minority undergrads for a career in academics is itself not topic neutral. And the shaping and shifting from that very early stage may dictate field of study and therefore the eventual success rate at the NIH game.
Assuming, of course, that Topic X enjoys differential success rate from Topic Y when the grants are under review at the NIH.
Thought of the Day
Should I cite my research articles "diversely"?
That is, should I give the slightest thought to whether the people I cite, the lab heads in particular, represent the full diversity of my field? Of my country? The world?
If I consider this at all, am I compromising the purity and integrity of my research manuscripts?
Disallowed "Resubmissions"
Any of you fuckes who have repurposed an unfunded A1 into a new A0, I want to hear about whether your grant was accepted as a new grant or rejected as an impermissible resubmission. And I want all the motherfucken deets about what you changed etc etc etc.
The ethics of carbon offsets
I have recently become aware of http://www.popoffsets.com, which apparently lets you burnish your carbon standing via support for family planning. Carbon offsets are fraught, but overall it seems a good thing to be thinking this way. Reduce the input and increase the carbon sponge. I am in favor.
Family planning to reduce the population growth rate has many obvious benefits. On a local level it improves the life of individuals and families. Population planning and control improves regional economic development in many cases. I am in support!
The organization supports projects in both developed and developing countries. So it is not only about excessive energy consuming people buying their way into feeling good via the developing world.
But it feels that way to me. It feels squicky. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly why....

Nyack College Among NY State Advocates for Student Aid
Nyack College students were among the more than 1,200 young men and women from high schools and colleges joined by faculty and staff at the Legislative Office Building in Albany, NY on Tuesday, February 8 for New York Student Aid Alliance Advocacy Day.
This forum allowed participants to voice their opinions on the value of state student aid programs, including the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), Grad TAP, the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), the Science and Technology Entry programs, (STEP/C-STEP), and the Liberty Partnerships Program.
Among the Nyack College advocates were Executive Director of Community Relations Earl Miller, along with Nathaniel Perez, Dashara Carter, Abraham Thomas, Todd Vester, Timothy Compere, Geraldine Villatoro, Edwin Soto, Patrick Almonor, Eric Thompson, Roosevelt Smith, Jonathan Moses, and David Victor. The group spent time with newly elected New York State Senator David Carlucci and Rockland Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee (pictured above with Nyack students (1-r: Edwin Soto, Dashara Carter and Geraldine Villatoro).
Sheila C. Seery, Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities Vice President for Research and State and Local Relations, emailed the Nyack students with this comment: "It was great meeting you and getting to chat with you. Hearing your stories and your plans for the future is so uplifting. I am blessed to advocate for such a worthy cause."

Mark Wahlberg Watches His Son Shoot Hoops With Wife Rhea Durham
Mark Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, hung out on a park bench during their youngest son Brendan's basketball practice in LA yesterday. The couple watched Brendan shoot hoops with his coach and chatted with him during a water break. Mark is back on the West Coast with his family after traveling overseas to promote Broken City. He stopped in Berlin and Rome for press on the film, which hit theaters last month. Mark has multiple movie projects ahead of him, including the big-screen version of Entourage, but first he'll hit the red carpet at the Academy Awards. Mark is among the celebrity presenters at the Oscars, including Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, and Nicole Kidman.

Where ever you go, there you are...
I'm an adventurous guy who loves to explore new things and new places. I love the beach and the water- I surf or run almost everyday. I can easily laugh at myself and will seize the moment to dance the night away. In the past six months I've taken a submarine ride in the North Pole and jumped off waterfalls in Brazil. I love to travel and seek out beauty in unknown places. I enjoy spending time with people who are active, caring, social, and interested in the world around them. I consider myself a student of life and I always have a few creative projects going at once. I'd love to meet a woman who is spirited and playful, of high intelligence, though not necessarily formally educated, has spunk, curiosity, inner strength and can think compassionately about the world and people she cares about. I would love to meet a woman who takes my breath away and who breathes life into me at the same time. Chemistry is key, and I am looking for a connection that has both electricity and grounded depth. How about a quid pro quo, you teach me to Salsa dance, I'll teach you to surf. We will cap both activities with a good bottle of wine on the beach. You, me, a Silver Oak cab, and rich conversation. Wanna hit the road? Let's take a weekend trip to Big Sur or go spend a night in wine country. We could stop in my home town along the way and ride the oldest wooden roller coaster in California. I picture us as great travel companions; equally happy at a beautiful surf break in Latin America or in a 5 star hotel in Greece.
