Refereed Article Larval development of Achoerodus viridis (Pisces: Labridae), the Australian Eastern Blue Groper
Citation: Leis J.M. and Hay A.C.. 2004. Larval development of Achoerodus viridis (Pisces: Labridae), the Australian Eastern Blue Groper. Ichthyological Research. 51. (1): 46-51.
Abstract:Larvae of the southeastern Australian endemic hypsigenyin labrid Achoerodus viridis are described and illustrated from 30 specimens (3.0–9.6mm) captured in plankton nets and larval fish beach seines. Development is typical for labrids. Larvae of A. viridis can be distinguished from those of other labrids because they possess distinctive pigment, 28 myomeres, and fin ray counts of D XI,11, A III,11, and P1 16–18. Larvae of closely related hypsigenyin labrid genera are poorly known but are similar in morphology and pigmentation. Adult A. viridis live on coastal rocky reefs. Larvae of 3.0–8.2mm were captured over the continental shelf off central New South Wales in the Western Tasman Sea. Larvae of 6.6–7.7mm were captured in a tidal channel leading to an estuarine lagoon, and the smallest larvae captured in seagrass beds in the lagoon were 7.2 and 8.5mm.

60 inch throat band saw
Just a heads up for the LA area fabricators. A friend linked this to me last night.( I don't know this seller and have no ties..buyer beware blah blah). Before I moved the shop I had one of these...slightly different model... and mine was a '58.
If you are using a vertical for fab work then you know they can never be big enough or rigid enough. The back side picture shows a dog house..that's just the transmission Dont let the black paint fool you it will wiegh 2000+lbs. He shows the speed as 40-10,800 rpms. Most of the DoAlls that will run that fast wont go that low. You have to make sure of that. They made a lot of friction cutting saws like that. Super fast and friction saws never need to go low. Also make sure the transmission shifts to low gear for sure. Call the serial number in to DoAll, they can tell you exactly how it came new. I got mine from Martin Marietta, and all they used it for was making pallets in the shipping dept. A wood blade can run that fast. Gary http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting |

Microsoft (NAS: MSFT) isn't alone in thinking that Windows Phone 7 can surpass iOS.
Citing "conservative" forecasts from market researchers Gartner and IDC, Windows Phone marketing head Achim Berg expects Windows Phone to claim more than 20% of the smartphone market by 2015. With Apple's (NAS: AAPL) most recent market share pegged at 18.2% by Gartner last month, scoring a 20% share would be a victory over Cupertino. The same Gartner report showed Windows Phone with a mere 1.6% share last quarter.
It's a bold goal, but I don't see it happening. Apple would have to fail to garner more market share while Microsoft would need to grab multiples of its current position. It's certainly possible, although doubtful. In fact, it's more possible now than ever before.
The smartphone gods have decided to give Mr. Softy a break, and Windows Phone's prospects have substantially improved in recent weeks despite being late to the party. It must be from all the mobile users sacrificed via Windows Mobile 6 over the years. The operating system itself has some catching up to do, but its next iteration, Mango, makes significant progress in several key departments, like multitasking.
Partnering with Nokia (NYS: NOK) back in February definitely gives Microsoft opportunities. Despite Nokia rapidly losing market share, according to Gartner it still ranks top dog at 22.8% when ranked by overall vendor shipments. Keep in mind that Nokia is getting billions of dollars from Microsoft to help develop and market the platform.
It will be interesting to see if other OEMs, like Samsung and LG, ask for similar treatment as they consider diversifying their offerings away from Google (NAS: GOOG) Android. Taiwanese manufacturer HTC just revealed two new phones running Mango, adding to its current repertoire of six.
I'm one of the first people to tell you that Windows Phone is looking more and more like a viable smartphone platform. I just don't think it will ever surpass iOS or Android. However, I do think the stage is set for it to overtake Research In Motion (NAS: RIMM) and settle in third place.

Steps for Successful Steam-Pressure Canning
- Put 2-3 inches of hot water in canner. Place filled jars on the rack, using a jar lifter. Fasten canner lid securely.
- Leave weight off vent port or open petcock. Heat at the highest setting until steam flows from the petcock or vent port.
- Maintain high heat setting, exhaust steam 10 minutes, and then place weight on vent port or close petcock. The canner will pressurize during the next 3 to 5 minutes.
- Start timing the process when the pressure reading on the dial gauge indicates that the recommended pressure has been reached, or when the weighted gauge begins to jiggle/ rock.
- Regulate heat under the canner to maintain a steady pressure at or slightly above the correct gauge pressure. If the pressure reading goes below the recommended pressure, you must bring the pressure back up and start the timing process over again from the beginning.
- When timed processing is completed, turn off the heat, remove canner from heat (if electric range), and let the canner "depressurize" at room temperature. (dial needle moves back to "0" or no steam sounds when weight is gently nudged). Do not force-cool the canner. Releasing pressure from a partially opened vent or placing the canner under cool water will result in under-processing. It may also cause unsealed jars and loss of liquid from the jars. Quick-cooling can also warp the canner lid of older model canners.
- After the canner is depressurized, remove the weight from the vent port or open the petcock. Wait 2 minutes, unfasten the lid, and remove it carefully. Lift the lid away from you so that the steam does not burn your face.
- Remove jars with a lifter, and place on towel or cooling rack, if desired. Do not set on a cold surface or expose to breezy conditions.
Additional Safety/Operating Tips
Gauges: Check dial gauges for accuracy before use each year and replace if they read high by more than 1-2 pound pressure. Gauges may be checked at most county Cooperative Extension offices. Replacement gauges and other parts for canners are often available at stores offering canning equipment or from canner manufacturers. When ordering parts, it will be helpful to know the model number of your canner.Gaskets: Handle canner lid gaskets carefully and clean them according to the manufacturer's directions. Nicked or dried gaskets will allow steam leaks during pressurization of canners and should be replaced. Keep gaskets clean between uses. A lid which is difficult to remove after cooling may indicate a gummy, or dry gasket and is reason to replace it.

Running Key to Shapely Human
Survival of the endurance runners. Credit: euro2002.dk |
A collection of seemingly random physiological traits that arose millions of years ago, at the evolutionary split of chimpanzees and Homo erectus, conspired to make humans unusually strong endurance runners, permitting our ancient ancestors to compete for food with speedy four-legged carnivores and greatly shaping the distinctive human body form that we know today.
So say anthropologists at Harvard University and the University of Utah, who report on the evolution of traits such as a small ridge at the base of our skulls, shoulders decoupled from our heads, an extensive series of springy tendons along the back of our legs and feet, and well-defined buttocks in the Nov. 18 issue of the journal Nature.
"These esoteric anatomical features make humans surprisingly good runners. Over long distances, we can outrun our dogs and give many horses a good race," says Daniel E. Lieberman, professor of anthropology in Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. "What these features and fossil facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other carnivores for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today."
Protein and fat derived from prey are excellent food for growing the bodies and brains of predators; Lieberman suggests running may have fueled growth of the human brain by relaxing constraints on human acquisition of protein and fat.
"We are very confident that strong selection for running — which came at the expense of the historical ability to live in trees — was instrumental in the origin of the modern human body form," says Dennis M. Bramble, a professor of biology at Utah. "Running has substantially shaped human evolution. Running made us human — at least in an anatomical sense. We think running is one of the most transforming events in human history. We are arguing the emergence of humans is tied to the evolution of running."
This work started 13 years ago when Lieberman and Bramble began questioning why pigs are such poor runners. Bramble noted that unlike horses, dogs, cheetahs and other good runners, pigs lack a so-called nuchal ridge at the base of their skulls which attaches to a broad band of tissue that keeps an animal's head steady when it runs.
Traces of this ridge can be found in human skulls dating back several million years, but the fossils of early humans at Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology showed Lieberman and Bramble that neither the earliest prehumans nor the chimps that are their nearest relatives have a nuchal ridge. The scientists were struck by ancient humans' acquisition of this feature, since the stooped predecessors of Homo erectus, known as australopithecines, spent much of their time in trees and seldom ran.
"As we started to think more about the nuchal ridge, we became more excited about other features of bones and muscles that might be specialized for running, rather than just walking upright," Lieberman says. "One that comes immediately to mind is our shoulders. The burly shoulders of chimps and australopithecines are connected to their skulls, the better to climb trees and swing from branches. The shoulders of modern humans are disconnected from our skulls, allowing us to run more efficiently."
Progression from fangs to teeth, low-brow to high |
Another of humankind's most distinctive features, the gluteus maximus muscle that comprises the buttocks, also helps establish humans as far more skilled runners than their ancestors: A quick look at fossil australopithecines reveals that their pelvises, like those of chimps, support only a modest gluteus maximus.
"Your gluteus maximus stabilizes your trunk as you lean forward in a run," Lieberman says. "A run is like a controlled fall, and the buttocks help to control it."
Runners also get a lot of help from their Achilles tendons, tough bands of tissue that anchor the calf muscles to the heel bone, and related tendons along the back of the leg and foot. This extensive system of springs in the leg and foot effectively store and release significant elastic energy during running, but they're not needed for walking.
"There were 2.5 million to 3 million years of bipedal walking [by australopithecines] without ever looking like a human, so is walking going to be what suddenly transforms the hominid body?" Bramble asks. "We're saying, no, walking won't do that, but running will."

Bush's chief of staff recounts 9-11 for law graduates
The man who whispered into the ear of President George W. Bush on 9-11 that airliners were slamming into the World Trade Center recounted those harrowing moments during the Texas A&M University School of Law's commencement Friday.
Andrew H. Card Jr., Bush's chief of staff for more than five years, whispered to the president — who was reading to second-graders in Sarasota, Fla. — that "a second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack."
"My mind flashed to the fear that must have been felt by the passengers on that plane," Card told more than 170 graduates at the Fort Worth Convention Center Ballroom.
The graduates participated in the first spring commencement at the law school since the Texas A&M System bought it from Texas Wesleyan University in August.
Card is now executive director of the Office of the Provost at Texas A&M University in College Station, site of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library.
In the 1990s, Card served as transportation secretary under the elder Bush. And he was George W. Bush's chief of staff from January 2001 to April 2006.
The crowd politely applauded during Card's speech, but not all the graduates were happy with the school's choice of speaker.
Earlier that morning, school officials frantically removed fliers that Colin Kalmbacher and second-year student Travis Gasper placed on ballroom chairs.
The fliers had Card's picture and listed his key accomplishment as "selling the 2003 Invasion of Iraq to the public." The fliers also included death counts for Iraqi civilians and U.S. men and women.
During Card's speech, Kalmbacher also yelled "boo" and "war criminal." A group of graduates surrounding Kalmbacher yelled for him to "shut up," with one man saying, "I'll see you outside."
Nothing came of the incident, and some students chalked it up to Kalmbacher's "passion."
After the brief disruption, Card went on to speak about the importance of the graduating class, one that started with a group of Wesleyan law students and ended with a group of Aggies.
The biggest challenge the graduates face is understanding that "words carry more weight than they used to," Card said.
"Would you please try to taste your words before you spit them out?"
He also told them: "Don't command respect. Earn it. And don't just take it. Give it."
Little goes a long way
While law school officials weren't pleased with the source of Kalmbacher's passion, they awarded others for theirs.
Camesha Little of Arlington received a MacLean & Boulware Endowed Law Scholarship for her character and leadership in several organizations, including the Black Law Student Association and the Student Ambassador Recruiting Team for Admissions.
The 26-year-old worked full time while enrolled, commuting from her job in downtown Dallas, and even married her high school sweetheart in her second year.
She has advice for up-and-coming students: "Keep realistic expectations of yourself."
"An attorney that made C's and an attorney that made A's are still an attorney," she said.
Little wants to practice education law and hopes to land a job at the law school.
"If it's your dream, it's possible," she said.
From Sweden to the Supreme Court
Former Texas A&M Law Review editor Joakim Soederbaum came to Fort Worth from Sweden on a soccer scholarship in 2006 and double-majored in English and exercise science at Texas Wesleyan.
Though he had no understanding of the American judicial system or the Constitution, he decided that he liked analytical reasoning enough to try to become a lawyer in 2011.
Three years later, the 30-year-old was inducted into the National Order of Scribes at the spring commencement for excelling in legal writing.
"I feel that I have a much better understanding" of the Constitution, he said. "But if there is anything I've learned in law school, it's how much there is left to learn."
Soederbaum will work for Justice Debra Lehrmann at the Texas Supreme Court in August.

There are 8
Sabbats, or days of power. Four of these are determined by the Solstices and Equinoxes. By
Observing the Sabbats, Wiccans attune themselves to the Earth and to their deities. They reaffirm their Earth roots. These are times of of real as well as symbolic power. Yule: The Goddess gave birth to a Son, the God, at Yule (21st December) The Winter Solstice has long been viewed as a time of divine births. Yule is the time of the greatest darkness and is the shortest day of the year. To Wiccans it is a reminder that the ultimate product of death is rebirth. Imbolic: Marks the recovery of the Goddess after giving birth to the God (2nd February) Imbolic is when the earliest beginnings of spring occur. This is a purification after winter. It is also a festival of light and fertility. Ostara: This is the Spring Equinox (21st March) The Goddess blankets the earth with fertility bursting forth from her sleep. On Ostara the hours of day and night are equal. This is a time of beginnings. Beltane: Beltane has long been marked with feasts and rituals (30th April) Beltane marks the return of vitality. Litha: Midsummer, The Summer Solstice (21st June) At this time the earth is awash in the fertility of the Goddess and God. Midsummer is the time for magic of all kinds. It is a time when the powers of nature reach their highest point. Lughnasadh: This is the time of the first harvest. (1st August) The plants of spring wither and drop their fruits or seeds for our use as well as to lensure future crops. Mabon: The Autumn Equinox is the completion of the harvest begun at Lughnasadh. Once again day and night are equal. Nature is reclining drawing back it's bounty ready for winter. Samhain: Samhain, also known as November Eve, (31st October) is a time for reflection, of looking back over the past year, of coming to terms with the one phenomenon of life over which we have no control - death. It a time when Wiccans remember their ancestors and all those who have gone before. |

Vera Wang Spring 2014
Vera Wang's show notes were short and to the point: "Spring 2014 explores an artful and architectural approach to clothes with a decidedly athletic reference." Working in black, violet, marigold, and scarlet, Wang crafted multilayer looks with sheer warm-up jackets over pieced chiffon dresses and mesh insets into beaded gowns. Save for the delicate flutters of flowers that traced a few backs, this was a decidedly tougher turn for Wang.

Renegade Drone Poses a Problem
The U.S. military almost launched fighter jets and discussed a possible shoot-down when an errant Navy drone briefly veered into restricted airspace near the nation's capital last month, a senior military official said Thursday. The Associate Press reports the incident underscores safety concerns with unmanned aircraft as defense officials campaign to use them more often during natural disasters and for homeland security. Navy Adm. James Winnefeld Jr., head of Northern Command, said Thursday that the August mishap could hamper the Pentagon's push to have the Federal Aviation Administration ease procedures for drone use by the military in domestic skies.

Artist: Chris Webby
Album: Webster's Laboratory (Mixtape)
Genre: Pop
Yeah! Yeah!
I be killin' 'em
Ye ye, I'm killin' 'em
Till my bank statement reads 27 million
They said I couldn't do it so you know I gotta get it done
Acrobatic rappin' the way that Webby be flippin' son
Six mixtapes and the fans need more
I hit the fork in the road and took a detour
Fire Marshall shuttin' shows down
Cuz I blow up spots like a Dalmatian strapped up with C4
Blow minds when they heard the rap
Hustle so many tapes you think I'm servin crack
Make bass lines sizzle when I burn a track
Only dude who made Datpiff's server crash
Yo I'm nice better learn the facts
Came a long f*ckin' way not a chance I'll be turning back
Uh, so you know that I'ma rap check 'em
When I put my fitted cap back like Ash Ketchum
I beat 'em up grab an EMT
Think you better then you must be takin' DMT
Dream on mothaf*cka I am DMC
Hard body flow cop my tape at GNC
I shut 'em up like they Papa Doc
Cuz I got more lines than a Stop & Shop
On the day before thanksgiving yeah I drop a lot
Of shit stealthy in the game like an ocelot
Mortal Kombat logo tatted on my back
So you know I'm gonna "Finish Him" from the moment I attack
I'm a train passenger all I need is a track
To be getting' where I'm goin' and when I do it's a wrap
So step when I bust
Get left in my dust
I'm in it to the finish investin' my bucks
The best and I just don't stop… an animal
My manager found me up at Pet Supplies Plus
Plus I be killin' 'em consecutively
Without expending any energy effortlessly
I got a bag full of trees, Chef Boyardee
And a hometown throne in the 203
Motherf*ckas know
They better tuck and roll
Cuz I'm the Master and Commander of this shit
They call me Russell Crowe
I'll never love a ho
So I'll wear a rubber bro
If I have a kid I'll get disowned by my mother yo
On another note nobody can step to me
I think I may have told you already but with my memory
It's hard to remember anything after all the ecstasy
But still they can't touch me like I got a case of Leprosy
I got 'em askin' questions like they playin' Jeopardy
"A dope spittin' white boy?"
"What is Chris Webby"
See they take shit too serious, I'm here to add some levity
Roll a J and take one to the head John Kennedy
What I'm here to do is pretty f*ckin' clear cut
Even at 45 with a beer gut
I'ma still get your chick wetter than a tear duct
And make mixtapes that'll get your ear f*cked
Not in Taylor Gang,
Not a Young Mula
I'm in Webby's World
I am the 1 Rula
Nerf Gun Shoota
With a dumb aim
Leavin' Monica Lewinsky with a cum stain
Untamed understand the flows
I'm dope, but at this point the fans should know
HBO flow with a Band of Bros
And a chick with an ass fatter then Amber Rose
I throw 'em off like a star pitcher
They can't follow the flow the way the bars hit cha
I'm a bar spitta
Them beaten me is like seein' Mel Gibson at a Bar Mitzvah
I be killin' 'em
I be killin' 'em

I saw them open for Avenged Sevenfold and From Autumn to Ashes in Elizabeth, NJ on a hockey rink during my embarassing metal-core phase in high-school (probably around 2002). Interesting how they're the only band from the show that remained relevant (to me at least).
schaumpton (May 24, 2012)
They shoot this for another live album/dvd already? They just did one for the last album. You think they're just releasing all this live stuff to get out of a contract? Nice guys, contrary to previously published stories.
blackmetal666 (May 24, 2012)
Love this band. I've seen them twice in the last year and I love the lack of banter and emphasis on actually playing their songs.
malcontentdroog (May 24, 2012)
That right there. Seriously though, these guys are nothing short of amazing live, their sound is up there with some of the best live sounding bands around. Even at Showbox SoDo in Seattle, they sounded great. By the way Showbox SoDo is one of the worst venues for acoustics in Seattle.
tofuatomic (May 25, 2012)
This is fantastic. Question though, why did a drum company make a tribute kit for a guitar player? |

As others have mentioned, it was pretty straight forward although a bit finicky to get into the tight spots to press out the pins. The little piece of 1x4 block helped press the pins back in. For the right side shock, I had to undo the large rubber hose at the bottom of the drum and also had to remove the sheet metal shield in the back to allow clearance for the pin to come out. There's only 2 screws holding it in so again, not too hard to do.

The humble compost heap could hold the key to providing 10 per cent of the UK's transport fuel needs, scientists have said.
The researchers from Guildford screened thousands of different wild types of bacteria, looking for one that could survive high temperatures and that liked feeding off a wide variety of plant based materials.
Eventually they found a suitable strain and altered its metabolism so instead of producing lactic acid as it broke down compost, it produced the useful renewable fuel ethanol.
The new strain of bacteria can break down straw and agricultural plant waste, domestic hedge clippings, garden trimmings and cardboard, wood chippings and other municipal rubbish into ethanol.
The Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting heard the new strain of bacteria allows ethanol to be produced much more efficiently and cheaply than in traditional yeast-based fermentation, which is based on the beer-brewing process and forms the basis for most current commercial bioethanol production.
Some seven million tons of surplus straw is available in the UK every year.
Turning it into ethanol could replace 10 per cent of the gasoline fuel used in the country.
"The bioethanol produced in our process can be blended with existing gasoline to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions, help tackle global warming, reduce dependence upon foreign oil and help meet national and international targets for renewable energy," said Paul Milner, fermentation development manager of TMO Renewables Ltd, based in Surrey Research Park, Guildford.

Panel 18 - The Apostles intervene in the punishment of the sorcerers (right panel of pair) | |
<< previous scene | next scene >> | |
Description: This has been described as the Apostles in prayer or supplication before Baradach but that is unlikely (goes against the grain of martyr's narratives to ever supplicate oneself before an enemy of the faith). Far more likely to be the right hand panel of a pair with panel 17 - as Voragine puts it "Simon and Jude then prayed and commanded the serpents to draw out all the venom they had injected, then to go back where they belonged." |

As Corey Fuller languished on the Detroit Lions' practice squad last year, some wondered whether the rookie sixth-round pick out of Virginia Tech would ever turn into a viable receiver.
His footwork at the line of scrimmage needed work. His confidence waned. And as athletically gifted as he was, he seemed too raw to make an impact in the NFL.
But something clicked this off-season. ...

Big East Commissioner John Marinatto has stated that the conference intends to make Pittsburgh and Syracuse stay for their full 27-month contractual obligation. Not everyone on the Big East agrees with that position, apparently.
From the story:
Marinatto has declared he will hold Syracuse and Pitt to the 27-month time frame for exit mandated by the league charter. This could be a negotiating tactic, or he could be serious, but in either case several member schools just want the two schools gone.
There is a feeling in the basketball programs at some member schools that the eventual departure of Pitt and Syracuse will provide some breathing room, that the league had become too great for its own good.
There was room for a record 11 teams to earn NCAA Tournament bids last season, but the presence of Hall of Fame coaches Jim Boeheim and Jim Calhoun at the top of the league and the heavy concentration of elite teams has made it difficult for many league members to gain the necessary media attention to improve their programs through recruiting.

East Ayrshire Council recently celebrated winning an APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence) award in a UK-wide competition which drew around 300 submissions in total.
The Council's Onsite Services team won the coveted prize in the Best Healthy Living Initiative category for its Food for Life programme in schools, fighting off stiff competition from 40 other entrants.
The awards are unique in local government because they are dedicated to those who provide frontline public services to communities.
Over 450 guests came together last week at Brunel's Old Station in Bristol for the ceremony. Awards were presented by broadcaster Alex Lovell of BBC Points West.
Andrew Kennedy, Acting Head of Facilities Management said: "East Ayrshire is regarded globally as a leader in the development of sustainable food strategies for schools.
"The use of organic, locally sourced fresh and unprocessed food has contributed to reducing the average distance food travels by a third, thus reducing CO2 and carbon emissions".
Councillor Hugh Ross, Spokesperson for Lifelong Learning, said: "Most importantly, our Food for Life strategy has provided delicious, fresh meals for schoolchildren and has in this way assisted in reducing childhood obesity by a third, over two years.
"Congratulations to the Onsite Services team on this outstanding achievement".
APSE chief executive Paul O'Brien said: "Our judging panels had a huge task in arriving at the winners, but they were overwhelmed by the dedication of frontline employees in continuing to deliver excellence in frontline services, despite the huge financial pressures which many councils face".
Best healthy living initiative Winner: East Ayrshire Council Finalists: • East Ayrshire Council • East Lothian Council • East Riding of Yorkshire Council • Gedling Borough Council • Leicester City Council • North Lanarkshire Council • Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council • South Ayrshire Council

text: News News Don't believe everything you hear Baptist historiography took another hit recently when Jesse Fletcher, Chancellor of Hardin Simmons University in Abiline, Texas, addressed the Texas Baptist Historical Society, Nov. 10, 1997. According to a Baptist Press Report, Fletcher told his audience that a "group of young theologians organized themselves in 1972 as the Founders Conference, dedicated to calling Southern Baptists back to Calvinism." The original group, he said, included Thomas Ascol, Tom Nettles, R. Albert Mohler Jr. and Timothy George. Dr. Fletcher was half right on the people and completely wrong on the date. Only Ascol and Nettles were among the seven people who met to establish the Founders Conference. The year was 1982. In 1972 Tom Ascol was 15 years old and Al Mohler was 11. This and other minor mistakes are of little significance when compared to Fletcher's statement that early American Baptists "tended toward a modified Calvinism or a general atonement framework." This assertion cannot account for the stated theology of the Philadelphia Baptist Association and the Charleston Baptist Association, both of which adopted the Second London Confession of 1689, which is a clearly Calvinistic document. Given the fact that they were the two most influential associations in the South in early American life, one can hardly be convinced by any presentation which overlooks or dismisses their role in shaping early Southern Baptist theology. The best book on this issue remains By His Grace and For His Glory by Dr. Tom Nettles. Nettles argues quite persuasively that there was a consensus of theological convictions among Southern Baptists for the first 75 years of their existence. No one has ever seriously attempted to refute his arguments. 1998 Founders YOUTH Conference Pastor Jerry Marcellino of Laurel, Mississippi and Dr. Sam Tullock of Cornerstone Baptist Church of Wylie, Texas are the preachers for the 1998 Founders YOUTH Conference, scheduled to meet July 6-10 in Panama City, Florida. The theme this year is "The Authority of Scripture." Cost is $200.00 per person. Registration deadline is April 15. For more information call Bill Ascol, (318) 798-7088.

Letter to the Editor: News organization untruthful
Larry Camp, Graham
Over the span of the past week there have been several accounts by the Associated Press in the Times Record News stating that Hamas seized the Gaza Strip from Israel.
This is not true.
Ariel Sharon in a stupid move decided unilaterally to leave Gaza with no quid-pro-quo from the Arabs. The Israelis were not driven out, and asked nothing in return for their departure.
Sharon believed that this gesture would be received graciously by the Arabs who would make the most of it.
As a matter of fact and history, American Jews bought and paid many millions of dollars for Israeli built greenhouses that were turned over to the Arabs in order to give them a start. Within 48 hours of Israel leaving, these greenhouses worth millions of dollars were looted and destroyed.
As I've said before, "AP 'NEWS' should be on the OP-ED page. They just can't seem to tell the truth.

Jose Mourinho has cast fresh doubt over the future of Fernando Torres by admitting that more could have been expected of him so far at Chelsea.
The Spanish striker earned a ?50million switch from Liverpool in January 2011 but at Stamford Bridge he has struggled to replicate the form from his earlier career.
Torres has been linked with a move away from the club this summer but has made it clear that he remains committed to seeing out his contract and wants to impress Mourinho.
But the Portuguese boss says his record at Chelsea is only mediocre and is convinced that owner Roman Abramovich will let him rule on whether the player stays.
Mourinho insists that Abramovich has never interfered in his managerial business and did not force him to buy Andriy Shevchenko during his first spell at the club.
"Torres so far is so-so," said Mourinho. "Somebody could expect more because of his potential, because of what he did before. But not so bad as people sometimes try to say.
"There is a balance. Normally, the tendency is to say it was a big mistake. It was a big mistake because it didn't work.
"Shevchenko? It's not true the owner forced him on me.
"Never, never during my time did the owner interfere in the basic things of the manager - training sessions, team selection, the profile of player I want to bring."
Not possible
Mourinho added: "Do you want to know the truth about Shevchenko? I hope the board is not upset with me. We wanted to buy Samuel Eto'o, he was our target. We wanted Eto'o and the owner was more than ready to do everything to bring Eto'o here.
"He was the player I wanted. Why? Because Eto'o was the only player I could play with Didier Drogba, changing the system for two strikers.
"But he was also ready to play with Drogba with the system we had at the time, with three attacking players with Eto'o coming from the sides. I did the same with him at Inter Milan. We wanted Eto'o and the boss did everything to bring Eto'o and Peter Kenyon did everything.
"In the end, Barcelona said, 'We don't sell, forget it, forget it. Not any price'. The owner did everything to get him, but it was not possible.
"After that, we went to other options and got to Shevchenko. I was happy with him."

I've got this, works just as well as regular chalk and does all that great eco stuff we care about. The only issue I've got is a weird feeling I get after I'm done climbing that I don't get with other chalk, but a quick wash gets rid of it.

Isaac's Blessing | Poem by Janet Eigner
Here's a fine poem about family love and care by Janet Eigner, who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. You can feel that blessing touch the crown of your head, can't you?
Isaac's Blessing
When Isaac, a small, freckled boy
approaching seven, visits us for Family Camp,
playing pirate with his rubber sword,
sometimes he slumps in grief,
trudging along, his sacrifice and small violin
in hand, his palm over his chest,
saying, Mother is here
in my heart. Before he leaves for home,
we ask if he'd like a Jewish blessing.
Our grandson's handsome face ignites;
he chirps a rousing, yes, for a long life.
We unfold the prayer shawl,
its Hebrew letters silvering the spring light,
hold the white tallis above his head,
recite the blessing in its ancient language
and then the English, adding, for a long life.
Isaac complains, the tallis didn't
touch his head, so he didn't feel the blessing.
We lower its silken ceiling
to graze his dark hair,
repeat the prayer.

Anticonvulsants (also commonly known as antiepileptic drugs or as antiseizure drugs) are a diverse group of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epileptic seizures. Anticonvulsants are also increasingly being used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, since many seem to act as mood stabilizers, and for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Anticonvulsants suppress the rapid and excessive firing of neurons during seizures. Anticonvulsants also prevent the spread of the seizure within the brain. Some investigators have observed that anticonvulsants themselves may cause reduced IQ in children.[1] However these adverse effects must be balanced against the significant risk epileptic seizures pose to children and the distinct possibility of death and devastating neurological sequelae secondary to seizures. Anticonvulsants are more accurately called antiepileptic drugs (abbreviated "AEDs"), and are often referred to as antiseizure drugs because they provide symptomatic treatment only and have not been demonstrated to alter the course of epilepsy.
Conventional antiepileptic drugs may block sodium channels or enhance γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) function. Several antiepileptic drugs have multiple or uncertain mechanisms of action.[2] Next to the voltage-gated sodium channels and components of the GABA system, their targets include GABAA receptors, the GAT-1 GABA transporter, and GABA transaminase.[3] Additional targets include voltage-gated calcium channels, SV2A, and α2δ.[4][5] By blocking sodium or calcium channels, antiepileptic drugs reduce the release of excitatory glutamate, whose release is considered to be elevated in epilepsy, but also that of GABA.[6] This is probably a side effect or even the actual mechanism of action for some antiepileptic drugs, since GABA can itself, directly or indirectly, act proconvulsively.[6] Another potential target of antiepileptic drugs is the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The drug class was the 5th-best-selling in the US in 2007.[14]
Some anticonvulsants have shown antiepileptogenic effects in animal models of epilepsy.[15] That is, they either prevent the development of epilepsy or can halt or reverse the progression of epilepsy. However, no drug has been shown in human trials to prevent epileptogenesis (the development of epilepsy in an individual at risk, such as after a head injury).[16]

The usual method of achieving approval for a drug is to show it is effective when compared against placebo, or that it is more effective than an existing drug. In monotherapy (where only one drug is taken) it is considered unethical by most to conduct a trial with placebo on a new drug of uncertain efficacy. This is because untreated epilepsy leaves the patient at significant risk of death. Therefore, almost all new epilepsy drugs are initially approved only as adjunctive (add-on) therapies. Patients whose epilepsy is currently uncontrolled by their medication (i.e., it is refractory to treatment) are selected to see if supplementing the medication with the new drug leads to an improvement in seizure control. Any reduction in the frequency of seizures is compared against a placebo.[16] The lack of superiority over existing treatment, combined with lacking placebo-controlled trials, means that few modern drugs have earned FDA approval as initial monotherapy. In contrast, Europe only requires equivalence to existing treatments, and has approved many more. Despite their lack of FDA approval, the American Academy of Neurology and the American Epilepsy Society still recommend a number of these new drugs as initial monotherapy.[16]

In the following list, the dates in parentheses are the earliest approved use of the drug.
- Paraldehyde (1882). One of the earliest anticonvulsants. It is still used to treat status epilepticus, particularly where there are no resuscitation facilities.
Aromatic allylic alcohols[edit]
- Stiripentol (2001 - limited availability). Indicated for the treatment of severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEI).[17][18]
Barbiturates are drugs that act as central nervous system (CNS) depressants, and by virtue of this they produce a wide spectrum of effects, from mild sedation to anesthesia. The following are classified as anticonvulsants:
- Phenobarbital (1912). See also the related drug primidone.
- Methylphenobarbital (1935). Known as mephobarbital in the US. No longer marketed in the UK
- Barbexaclone (1982). Only available in some European countries.
Phenobarbital was the main anticonvulsant from 1912 until the development of phenytoin in 1938. Today, phenobarbital is rarely used to treat epilepsy in new patients since there are other effective drugs that are less sedating. Phenobarbital sodium injection can be used to stop acute convulsions or status epilepticus, but a benzodiazepine such as lorazepam, diazepam or midazolam is usually tried first. Other barbiturates only have an anticonvulsant effect at anaesthetic doses.
The benzodiazepines are a class of drugs with hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsive, amnestic and muscle relaxant properties. Benzodiazepines act as a central nervous system depressant. The relative strength of each of these properties in any given benzodiazepine varies greatly and influences the indications for which it is prescribed. Long-term use can be problematic due to the development of tolerance to the anticonvulsant effects and dependency.[19][20][21][22] Of the many drugs in this class, only a few are used to treat epilepsy:
- Clobazam (1979). Notably used on a short-term basis around menstruation in women with catamenial epilepsy.
- Clonazepam (1974).
- Clorazepate (1972).
The following benzodiazepines are used to treat status epilepticus:
- Diazepam (1963). Can be given rectally by trained care-givers.
- Midazolam (N/A). Increasingly being used as an alternative to diazepam. This water-soluble drug is squirted into the side of the mouth but not swallowed. It is rapidly absorbed by the buccal mucosa.
- Lorazepam (1972). Given by injection in hospital.
Nitrazepam, temazepam, and especially nimetazepam are powerful anticonvulsant agents, however their use is rare due to an increased incidence of side effects and strong sedative and motor-impairing properties.
- Potassium bromide (1857). The earliest effective treatment for epilepsy. There would not be a better drug until phenobarbital in 1912. It is still used as an anticonvulsant for dogs and cats.
- Felbamate (1993). This effective anticonvulsant has had its usage severely restricted due to rare but life-threatening side effects.[23][24][25]
The following are carboxamides:
- Carbamazepine (1963). A popular anticonvulsant that is available in generic formulations.
- Oxcarbazepine (1990). A derivative of carbamazepine that has similar efficacy but is better tolerated and is also available generically.
- Eslicarbazepine acetate (2009)
Fatty acids[edit]
The following are fatty-acids:
- The valproates — valproic acid, sodium valproate, and divalproex sodium (1967).
- Vigabatrin (1989).
- Progabide
- Tiagabine (1996).
Vigabatrin and progabide are also analogs of GABA.
Fructose derivatives[edit]
- Topiramate (1995).
GABA analogs[edit]
- Gabapentin (1993).
- Pregabalin (2004).
The following are hydantoins:
- Ethotoin (1957).
- Phenytoin (1938).
- Mephenytoin
- Fosphenytoin (1996).
The following are oxazolidinediones:
- Paramethadione
- Trimethadione (1946).
- Ethadione
- Primidone (1952).
- Brivaracetam
- Levetiracetam (1999).
- Seletracetam
The following are succinimides:
- Ethosuximide (1955).
- Phensuximide
- Mesuximide
- Acetazolamide (1953).
- Sultiame
- Methazolamide
- Zonisamide (2000).
- Lamotrigine (1990).
Valproylamides (amide derivatives of valproate)[edit]
Non-medical anticonvulsants[edit]
Sometimes, ketogenic diet or vagus nerve stimulation are described as "anticonvulsant" therapies as well.
Treatment guidelines[edit]
According to guidelines by the AAN and AES,[26] mainly based on a major article review in 2004,[27] patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy who require treatment can be initiated on standard anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, valproic acid/valproate semisodium, phenobarbital, or on the newer anticonvulsants gabapentin, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine or topiramate. The choice of anticonvulsants depends on individual patient characteristics.[26] Both newer and older drugs are generally equally effective in new onset epilepsy.[26] The newer drugs tend to have fewer side effects.[26] For newly diagnosed partial or mixed seizures, there is evidence for using gabapentin, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine or topiramate as monotherapy.[26] Lamotrigine can be included in the options for children with newly diagnosed absence seizures.[26]
The first anticonvulsant was bromide, suggested in 1857 by Charles Locock who used it to treat women with "hysterical epilepsy" (probably catamenial epilepsy). Bromides are effective against epilepsy, and also cause impotence, which is not related to its anti-epileptic effects. Bromide also suffered from the way it affected behaviour, introducing the idea of the 'epileptic personality' which was actually a result of medication. Phenobarbital was first used in 1912 for both its sedative and antiepileptic properties. By the 1930s, the development of animal models in epilepsy research led to the development of phenytoin by Tracy Putnam and H. Houston Merritt, which had the distinct advantage of treating epileptic seizures with less sedation.[28] By the 1970s, a National Institutes of Health initiative, the Anticonvulsant Screening Program, headed by J. Kiffin Penry, served as a mechanism for drawing the interest and abilities of pharmaceutical companies in the development of new anticonvulsant medications.

Use in pregnancy[edit]
During pregnancy, the metabolism of several anticonvulsants is affected. There may be an increase in the clearance and resultant decrease in the blood concentration of lamotrigine, phenytoin, and to a lesser extent carbamazepine, and possibly decreases the level of levetiracetam and the active oxcarbazepine metabolite, the monohydroxy derivative.[67] Therefore, these drugs should be monitored during use in pregnancy.[67]
Valproic acid, and its derivatives such as sodium valproate and divalproex sodium, causes cognitive deficit in the child, with an increased dose causing decreased intelligence quotient.[68] On the other hand, evidence is conflicting for carbamazepine regarding any increased risk of congenital physical anomalies or neurodevelopmental disorders by intrauterine exposure.[68] Similarly, children exposed lamotrigine or phenytoin in the womb do not seem to differ in their skills compared to those who were exposed to carbamazepine.[68]
There is inadequate evidence to determine if newborns of women with epilepsy taking anticonvulsants have a substantially increased risk of hemorrhagic disease of the newborn.[67]
Regarding breastfeeding, some anticonvulsants probably pass into breast milk in clinically significant amounts, including primidone and levetiracetam.[67] On the other hand, valproate, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine probably are not transferred into breast milk in clinically important amounts.[67]
In animal models, several anticonvulsant drugs have been demonstrated to induce neuronal apoptosis in the developing brain.[69][70][71][72][73]
